sees that in England persistence in reform
does not degenerate into open rupture, whereas
rrenchmon oscillate without rest between re-

Emperor directs. and accept rather than seek
progress with due British regard as to whether

States Senators, there would DO more people
pleased at the result. We cannot count Mr.
Pratt's action wholly in accord with the duties
of a citizen who has been called upon to I'LL
most responsible office; and yet the man who
wants to get out of Office shows such Astounding
good sense that, in default of fuller intorma-
ton, we take it for granted that Mr. Pratt IS
acting wisely. He was elected year
ago as compromise candidate after
number of Indiana Republicans had
bolted the nomination of Lieut.. Gov. Cumback,
because of the discovery that Mr.. Cumback
had sought to induce Gov Baker, prior to the
election of the latter-named gentleman, to
promise to appoint himself to the first vacancy
in the Senate. Baker exposed this fact, and
thus defeated Cumback. 1t may be taken Tor
granted, therefore, that the Governor is not
likely now to fill the vacancy soon to be made
by the appointment of the gentleman whose
name most readily occurs to the public IN
connection with it.

brance of what he might have been, or might

And yet, before this coarse creature is turned
off. let ia consider that scar caused by the
" ebuilition of his fathers rage" A poor devil

of the sins of his ancestors, with long line,
perhaps, of homicdal prOgenitors, he goes In
his youth to the butchering business, without
education, without cultivation, without the

it seems he has committed murder. Is any

RncOM BLNGHIM q co.

As we understand Judge BacOm'S opinion IN
the Erie suit, that eminent jurist decides, III
effect, that no matter how gross and enormous
may be the frauds pcrpctrated by the directors
of n coronation; no matter how great injury
may result TO stockholders and creditors from
such frauds; if the guilty parties, by issuing
new stock, or in any other way, can secure
reelection, all their sins are cOndoned, ana the
creditors have no remedy left but to whistle
for their money!
EVERYDAY knows that it is, under their
practice Of issuing convertible bonds ana con-
verting item into stock at pleasure an abso-
lutte mpnsibility for an election OF Directors
to be carried against Fisk, Could and thor
associates. The complaint in Mr.. RamseyS
suit changes them with every conceivable vail-
ETY. of fraud and misconduct. These charges
are no; denied. Upon the sworn com
plant and accompanying afdayits, Judge
Murray granted an order suspending these
men and cnjoning them from acting as
Directors. The defendants moved to
vacato this order, upon the ground that the
charges though their truth was undisputed
were not sufficient; aud Judge Balcom granted
their motion upon the ground, mainly, as we
understand it, that these men, 10y rejecting
themselves, through the agency OF the indefinite
number of millions of stock Illegally Issued by
them for the very purpose OF perpetuatlng
their Drcctorship, had effected kind OF plen-
ary sclf-absouiion. If this is the law in the
State Of Ncw-Yolk, it is perhaps well to know
if. But such knowledge is not very cncour-
aging 10 those who have invested or propose
TO invest any of their money in New-foik
RAILROAD securities
Judge Balcom informs an inQurlng public
that the majority of the stockholders OF the Enc
Railway Company have the legal right to
make Brigham Young a Director. For this
Suggestion the stockholders of the, Erie should
be properly grateful. But if, when Brigham
shall lave been elected and properly CLASH
fled under the law Of 1869, he shall proceed
TO use the Company's money to fit up Grand
Opcra.IIouse and adjacent buildings for the
accommodation of his numerous Mrs. Brig
hams. and innumerable little Brghams,
will the creditors and tho stockholders
opposed to Brigham have no remedy !
This question must be answered IN the
affirmative before the common under
standing can fully comprehend and approve
Of this latest judicial yndication OF James
Fisk, jr, and his associates. Judge Balloon 5
decision is by 10 means conclusive OF this con-
troversy. The merits of the case were not be-
fore him. Mr.. Ramsey is sustained by many
other creditors and stockholders of Ere
and neither he nor they intend TO be diverted
by any such novel legal doctrines rs those
promulgated by Judge Balloon from pressing
the suit to a speedy trial and bringing the
conduct Of the Erie managers to the light OF q
thoough judicial investigation. In the mean
tine the appeal taken from Judge Balcom's
or,cr will, doubtless. be brought to a prompt
herring nj the approaching General Term.

cable dispatch from Berlin speaks of the
American Bishops as devoted adherents of the
Papacy, and some of our contemporaries are
thereat surprised. But it is quite true that
the prelates of the United States are as far
as possible from any tendency toward liberal
Catholicism" and the explanation is very
simple. Canon Law having no force in this
country, the Bishops are not chosen by their
clergy or cathedral chapters but appointed at
the mere will of the Pope. Tie hierarchy in
fact is close corporation, in which the mem
bers nominate candidates to fill vacancies in
their own body, and the Pope appoints at bis
pleasure, generally selecting from the list of
nominees presented for his approval, but
sometimes disregarding that list altogether and
consulting only his own preferences. Thus,
however widely liberal ideas may be spread
among the lower clergy and the laity, it is
next to impossible for any one to become
bishop who is not Jealous promoter of the
Papal prerogatyes. There is no part OF the
world in which the influence of the Roman
Court over the episcopal body is stronger than
in the United States.

NO MORE or THAT

Mr.. VIM. Cornell Jewett is an entcrprlSing
citizen of the World, who las obtained from
her King right to land an American Cable on
the soil of Holland. We hope Mr.. j. may or
game his company Off that formula be not
already completely procure the requisite sub
scriptions, buy his Gable, lay it, operate 1t,
and make lots of money from it, whether IN
the shape of dividends or of watcrcd stock. In
short, we wish him all manner of good fortune
with his prospective Cable.
But Mr.. Pomcroy of Kansas has submitted
to the Senate a bill "To charter an American
land Holland Ocean Cable Company" ostcnSlbly
in pursuance of Mr.. Jewctt's concession, which
is quite another matter, and which must III no
case be suffered TO become law Here are
some Of its provisions:
"SrC g. and be IL nuihrr enacted. That fhe American
and Holland Ocean Gable Company at the time oil It's "'
qurcmcut OF the concession nights granted ny HoH'hu
and being fully organized hereby authorized To issue
six per bonds payable IN twenty years. To the eN
tent Of ten million dollars, principal ana incIcS paSap
I'm gold five million dollars AT NewYork. two million five
hundred thousand dollars at Amsterdam. and two hoh
five hundred thousand dollars at FranLiortoniheMah
"sgc G. ind 6eu Gitcr enacted That the interest on
the zen million dollars Of bonds issued by the Treasurer
gfhc uted States is hercJy guaranteed by The Cned
SiGcsW Imurca.'
How a Senator could be induced to indorse
such a prepostcrous bill, we cannot even con
lecture. If he imagined that it had the least
chance to pass, he must have more fertile
imagination than any poet or romancer on tins
continent. The Government is required to
swap bonds with this Cable Company to the
extent of Ten Millions of Dollars the Com
pany issues and sells the Government bonds
to subscrve its own purposes; the Government
holds the Cable Company's bonds as security !!
for the due payment Of its own by the Com
pany aforesaid. Never yet was SO one-slded
an arrangement among the many hare bargains
iuposcd upon Uncle Samuel. The audacity of
this foray on the Treasury Outyies It's iniquity
We beg leave to assure all concerned that
bills to increase the National burdens, whether
by direct appropriations from the Treasury OF
through the more insIdious device of guamn-
ties are not now in order If YOU doubt our
assurance inquire of L. 5. Grant, White House
