Honor to whom honor is due Be it known
unto all men, and especially to all legislators,
that the Legislature of Connecticut, which has
lately adjourned, was in session 90 days less
than its immediate predecessor, and cost the
taxpayers of the State $3.50 less, with some
gain in the way of contingent expenses This
Legislature did number of good things-rati-
fed the Fifteenth Amendment-struc the
word white out of the Constitution Of the
State-reestablished a Normal School, and
did MT charter new railroad from New Haven
to New-York. But the most glorious, refresh
ing, and encouraging thing, was the gain Of
the 20 days and the $4,000. That's what We
call comfortable.

right astute, and impartial judicial officer
but. somehow or other, his action in the prem
ises hardly accOrds with common-sense view
of official responsibility.
Certain circumstances connected with this
affair are unfortunate. Commissioner White
acts as Clerk for the United States District
Court, under Judge Smalley. A warrant was
also made ont for Henry A. Smalley, another
Wepher of questionable record, and the son of
the Judge. 1t may be that neither circum-
stance affected in the slightest the result OF
the Doolittle matter, but the conjunction was
nnlnckY.

We are pleased to notice that in one Of our
latest Commencement Programmes, there was
a German Grafton about Bismarck, as well as
n French Grafton about HenryIV., pot TO men
ton a Scientific Grafton about The First HE
"rOglyphcs." We regret, however, to observe
another Grafton on True Manhood" We pre-
sumo that there has not been a Commencement in
this country for the last thirty years at which
an Grafton on "True Manhood" has not been
delivered. All these performances were prob
ably alike. " The true man" is this, that, and
50 forth-he doesn't do a variety of things
and he does do variety of other things--in
short, he is "a true man." One great improve
ment in the Amherst Orations we must notice.
The speakers were all limited to FIVE minutes.

France being what it is, it is no bad sign that
Prince Napoleon will, quite probably, become
President of the Ministry. The Prince has been
a prophet of liberalism in his day, and has
laborcd to convert his countrymen to the belief
that the great Napoleon deliberately sacrificed
hecatombs of men to prepare the way for free
dom in France. Some have the courage to be-
lieve that beneath the royal flesh of Prince
PlOn-Plon is entOmbed the heart of live
Democrat, and once, memOrably, that heart has
been guilty of resurrection His call to the
Ministry will not, however, create enthusiasm.

Another war between our litigious railroad
men has broken out in court before Judge
Barnard, the plaintiffs being Messrs Jay Gould
and James Fisk, jr. Mr.. Could charges that
the Toledo, Wabash, and Western Railroad
have issued an illegal and fraudulent surplus
of stock, and a similar complaint is made in
another suit by Mr.. Fisk. In a quarrel so
powerfully supported on either side, the public
is likely TO reap advantages in increased knOwl-
edge of the value of stocks and the ways and
mems of railroads.

The calm and well-cOnsidered language in
which Secretary Fish addresses the French and
English ministers on the assumption by the
French Cable of right to land on our shores
without the permission Of the United States,
and without according equality of right to use
the Cable between the two Governments, places
the matter in its true light. Secretary Fish main
tains the dignity of the Government, and
asserts principles which have already received
the sanction of the Attorney General and Con-
gress, and are sure to be sustained. The
sooner the French Cable Company reaches a
comprehension Of this fact the sooner its bust
ness operations may begin.

1t is we'll known that sculptors and tailors
are at a variance respecting the classicality Of
coats and pantaoons. In the statue of Lord
Palmerston dedicated at Southampton on the
I'd inst, the artist has introduced cloak
which DISCUSSES the coat and mtigates the
pantaloons. We have often thought that too
much is said of the ugliness of our male
raiment, and of its unftness for the purposes
of what poor Hayden used to call "igh hart"
Even in statue of so wonderful man as
Lord PalmerstOn, we do not see why there
should be any attempt at disguise. The spec
tatOr of the future, probably, will desire to see
our great ones as they were seen by us; and
the costume of the statue or picture will be
valuable part of the work only in case it is
correctly given.

That is a suggestive little paragraph in our

The Evening Post asserts that THE TRIBUNE
advocates duty of four dollars and half
per pound on Tea. There is no shadow of
truth in this. We believe Tea can and will
soon be extensively grown alta profit in this
country under the present duty, and that when
so grown we shall have cheaper and far better
Tea than at present-less adulterated and poi
soned by facing" to give it an unnatural
color. just wait and see! The present duty

it may effect great and undersigned good in
encouraging the growth of Tea in diverse sec

The Church bill has come back again to the
Commons, we trust to be summarily and
speedily relieved of the Disagreement inflicted
upon it by the Lords. Messrs. Gladstone and
Bright have both declared themselves, and the
ultimatum of the Government is known. Apart
from some amendments comparatively trivial,
nothing of the handiwOrk of the Lords has been
accepted into the body of the BILL Instead of
the private endowment clause moved by the
Archbishop of Canterbury the Government
offers a provision by which half million of
pounds shall be given to the Church. Even
this will seem to us a dear purchase of the
success of the measure.

We are not in haste to suspect evil in the
plans of the party that has just succeeded in
Virginia, with reference to their approaching
Senatorial contest. But the rumors which
reach us from Washington warrant us in warn
ing these gentlemen that they occupy most
critical position, and that every step they take
will be watched by all sides with jealous eyes.
The one thing which can secure them success
will be absolute, transparent integrity of mo-
tive and action

Wednesday forenoon was present at the
whole exercises, and I can particularly COM
mend the Theory and Practice of Teaching"
and the "Object Lessons" No other system
of training ever did or ever can produce such
results The whole class in all cases consti-
tutes board of criticism, and not a mistake or
a stammer goes unheeded. Object lessons
and topics of teaching were given out at ran
dom, and were in every case handled readily
and thoroughly, and no one can doubt that ev-
cry member of this graduating class will enter
the profession upon vantage ground unattains-
BILE through any means ever before provided in
