Out of the mouths of Counts and Princes is
liberty ordained. 1t is a growing fashion
among the titled great to mention the repub-
lican idea with respect. Count de Paris has
written a democratic book Prince de Mos
kowa a democratic letter; Duke de Charities
has fought peoples fight; Prince Napoleon
is the veriest Republication paper. Not to be
out of this advanced fashion, Prince Henry Of
Bourbon has aimed letter at the Spanish
Republicans. Having, as all the world knows,
married an American lady, he believes in
Washington and the Republic. These are fine
points in Prince Henry's favor, if any one
wishes to make a king of him. Above all, he

London, June IS, 1859.

The Rev. DR.. Harris, President of Bowdoir
College, in his baccalaureate sermon spoke with
a good deal of severity of the late Mr. Buckles
philosophy, and by way of illustration said:
"The Bible foretells q millennium, when the
"earth shall be full of the knowledge Of God.
"The new Gospel Of Naturalism fOretels a
"millennium when the Earth shall be full Of
"bacon.n With all proper respect for DR.. Har-
ris, we must declare that nothing Is gained by
this extravaganza caricature OF opinions which
Mr.. Buckle did not form carelessly, and which
were tie result of scholarship quite as pro-
found as that of Bowdoin College. Mr.. Buckle
did not say, no intelligent admirer Of Mr..
Buckle says, that the care OF the body should
be the chief end Of man; and his life, devoted
70 the seyerest study, was proof that, no more
than others did he discard the intellectual ad-
yancement of society What Mr.. Buckle did
say Ito use his own language) was that So
"cietv cannot prosper, if the affairs of life are
watched over and protected at nearly every
"turn by the Church and State; the State
teaching men what they are to do, and the
Church teaching them what they are to be-
"lieven-which is very different thing from
saving that society must be based upon bacon.
He said also that climate, food, and SOIL, origi-
nate the most important consequences in re-
gard to the general organization of society.
He said also that the happiness of society de-
pended ION the extent to which knowledge
" was diffused, and the freedom with which It
{" peryades all classes of society" Possibly his
fault was in not believing that starving peO-
ME must necessarily be nearest the millennium.

A Philadelphia newspaper complains bitterly
of the corrupt and pettifogging system OF Grim
inal practice in that city, of which In Newton
also the Courts know something. One reason,
and a main one of the difficulty, we presume, is,
that in nine tenths of the cases upon the Grim
jnal docket no better than merely technical
defense is possible; but even to fair and
acute employment of this the prisoner Is en-
titled by the theory of that very system Of
law under which lie has been arraigned. There
is matter of law for the Court as well as OF
evidence for the panel; and, for reasons into
which it is not necessary for us to enter, 1t Is
better for the general promotion of justice that
guilty respondent should escape through
flaw in the indictment than that he should be
convicted by overriding it, through decision
made for the occasion. Half the occupants OF
the dock are poor and friendless the impudent
and shameless villain, with his pocket full OF
money, commands the best available legal
talent Now, if the Government employs the
finest forensic ability to convict, is there any
reason why an officer should not be perma-
nently employed by it to defend-a man OF
learning honor, integrity, and acuteness, who
will watch the case of the poorest prisoner, and
see that he is not found guilty through his
own blunders and bewiIdermentsf This is the
true remedy for the nuisance of Tombs shy
81 ters y and wealthy rascals might be assessed
for their own defense, while the wretched and
penniless would be equally protected.

After several years of preparation the Mexi'
cans succeeded in putting on Tezcoco Lake
one of the two tug-sized steamers their waters
lately boosted. But at its christening on the
10th, Mr. Juarez and many others being on
board, it blew up abortively. Everybody was
saved, says our telegram; Mr. Romero, though
very near the boiler, was not killed, but swan
away. We agree with our authority that the
escape was wonderful, if only tue whole story
be as described. Mr.. Romero, perhaps also
Mr. Juarez, could hardly have come off unhurt,
and any serious injury to them must be great
misfortune to the country to which they seem
so absolutely indispensable. Their Indian fell

On the still vexed question of the Church
bill, Mr.. Disraeli has made the astounding OBJ
servation that the passage of the bill by the
Lords to second reading was an act of mag
nanimity. What, then, shall we say of the
stupid and stubborn act originally contemplated
by themf But Mr.. Gladstone struck the mark
when, with the gentlest irony. he replied that
the Lords had more than fulfilled all the pledges
they gave. These pledges, as tacitly under
stood, were to hack, deform, and obstrlct the
bill; but now the bill appears to be the living
power and the Lords the dead obstruction.

Oh My Stars

Two Of our contemporaries have cmbroilcd the
heavenly host in q contest as fearful as that in
which the stars in their courses fought against
'Sisera.' One Of them published an abstract OF
the points Of a lawsuit said to involve the qucs-
ton Of the right Of those numbering a fOatable
stream to use its banks against the riparian
owners This article was marked with star
10y to Indicate that it was communicated and
the piaintiif Tor his representative assumes that
il was written by the defendants counsel and
replies, taking as his sign dagger (t) to show
that he means rar. Abiding to the great and
fictitious Importance soughtto be given to pet
ty action of trespass quare eiausum and to the
star (') adopted by his adversary, whom he ac-
cuses of improperly and discourtesy in print
ing anything about the case prior to the action
of the Court upon 1t, he grandiloquently pro-
poses that some unappropriatel constellation be
named for Swan Pond Brook (the stream in
auestion) even as the Romans thus honored the
Eridanus, or Pc, and that the star Of greatest
therein be called by the name OF the
defendants attorney, which he gives, though
we shall not. The Democrat mixes up rebuke
and ridicule. law and romance, things celestial
and terrestrial, in manner wonderful to be-
hold but the other, not to be outdone, comes
to the rescue of its correspondent this week with
t,ro editorials, curiously compounded Of fact and
fancy, law and literature, mythology, theology.
astrology and apology, with display Of script
tural knowledge remarkable for the editor Of a

from that Of Cromwcll's fanatic and turbulent
followers. The combatants clearly were no
subjected to the "sweet influences Of the Pleia-
dcs" when they commenced to shed their ink 80
freely in this controversy; but we Sirtusiy
think their language must have been inspired
by the baleful glare Of the Dog-Stdr, or Of fiery
Mars. Possess your souls in patience, gentle
men In due time the Court will settle your
little case, and we can confdcntially and con-

the present in the hands Of those to whom our
