appears that Minister Washbmne has not asked
for S15, 900 in gold to meet his contingent
expenses, as was recently telegraphed from
Washington. The many friends of Mr..
Washburne, who were rejoiced by the manly
stand taken by him in the House of Repre-
sentatives on the subject of economy in the
delighted to hear this, and still further to
know that he has declined to receive certain
allowances until he could satisfy himself that
he is legally entitled to them. But at the
same time, Minister Washburne's friends
cannot but remember that he was of infinitely
moro use to the country i'll Congress than he
promises to be in Paris.

THE BROOKS CASE.

TIE jury empanelled in the Brooks case
deserve the thanks of every good citizen for
their prompt rendition of verdict of guilty
against Marrow and Dougherty. The efforts
made by the counsel, the friends, and the en-
ployers of these villains to defeat justice were
as desperate as the crime which startled the
entire community on the 9th of September:
and it was matter of the highest public i'm
portance that these efforts should not prevail.
1t was bad enough that any set of men in this
city should combine to murder useful officer
on account of his conscientious devotion TO
duty-bad enough that the basest and
most dangerous form of crime,
the willingness to act as
hired assassins, should be developed
IN our midst-bad enough that in the police
force which the municipality maintains at a
vast expense, these desperadoes should find
sympathizers and friends ready to aid them in
eluding pursuit and punishment it would
have been even worse if a verdict of not
guilty had shown that all these offenses could
be committed with impunity, and that the
''dismonds of the bar could blind the eyes of
honest jurymen with their dazzling and de-
CcptlVe ngnt.
The general expectation that extraordinary
means would be adopted TO secure the ac-
quittal of the prisoners was fully fulfilled.
They formed part of that aristocracy of crime
which habitually regards itself as above the
reach of law, and this consideration was pro
badly not forgotten when they consented to
sound the very lowest depths of human de-
pravity 1t is part of the testimony of the
defense that they we're applicants for positions
on the police force, and it is now but too wei
known that among the sworn and salarie6
protectors of municipal peace they found
useful allies at every stage of the proceedings
They received the earliest possible tiding
that they had fallen under the ban of sus
picion, and thus gained the opportunity fo
their prompt fight to New York. Wher
arrested there, they also received such speed,
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-10-25

of the political prisoners which had, been pre-
sented from time to time, they had unani-
mously decided that a compliance with these
demands would be contrary to their duty as
guardians Of public security and peace That
the reckless Fenian agitators should coincide
in this reasonable view of the situation was
not to be expected. The whole movement is
manipulated by clique of demagogues who
have no real regard for the permanent welfare
of their country, and are incapable of enter
tanning the sentiment of gratitude towards
MIR. Gladstone for what he has already done
in behalf of Ireland. By the passage of the
bill disestablishing and disendowing the Irish
Church, he has remeded one of the most
glaring wrongs under which ireland has been
laboring for centuries, and given pledge for
ameliorating the condition of the peopleiof
that portion of the British empire as fast as
time and the state of public sentiment in
England will safely permit If the Fenians
would only rally to the hearty support of the
present Liberal Government and drop all
their crazy and dangerous schemes, the cause
of Ireland would be immeasurably advanced,
and all the political prisoners would soon be
set at liberty. A persistence in the present
agitation, however, can only damage their
cause, and may ultimately result in the restora-
ton of Disraeli to power.

AMNESTY FOR THE FENLAN


A SIGNIFICANT demonstration took place in
London yesterday. Immense professions
marched through the streets, headed by bands
of music, and bearing flags and banners in
scribed with significant notices We are
also told that the procession contained several
thousand women, wearing flowers and scarfs
OF the emerald hue. The grand demonstra-
ton eliminated at Hyde Park, where fifty
thousand people assembled in mass meeting
to listen to inhammatory harangues and pass
resolutions demanding amnesty for the Fe-
mans now held in custody by the Govern
ment. 1t was rumored on Saturday that the
Government would interpose to prevent the
holding OF the meeting in the park, and it
was thought the affair would be indefinitely
postponed, in view of the anticipated COLI
sion 1t appears, however, that Mr.. Glad
stone had the wisdom to let the amnesty agi-
tators alone, and contented himself with
making extensive preparations for suppress
ing any disturbance that might possibly arise
The great demonstration of yesterday was
intended as counterblast to MIR. Gladstone's
declaration, few days since, that while the
members of the Government had carefully
considered all the memorials for the release

The Harrisburg Patriot comes to the rescue
of old Frank Blair, whom it styles ''the vene-
rable founder of the Republican party" and
in its eagerneSs expresses the opinion that the
huckstering of potatoes without license is a
much more intellectual employment than
editing a radical newspaper. If all the radical
newspapers in the country were edited in the
patriotic style of the Pat,i0t, there would be
a show of truth in this assertion

SPAIN is tranquil, says a cable telegram
from Madrid, and then, by way of commen-
tary upon this assertion, follows notice of
the arrest of a Catholic bishop and number
of Protestants in Granada and of promi-
nent insurrectionist who has been taken to
Valencia for trial. But the speech delivered
by Marshal Prim in the Cortes on Saturday
shows that, despite the anarchy which reigns
throughout the country, the Government of
the Regent will not retrograde on one inn
portant point. eff" said the Minister of
War, "the Gcumenical Council should adopt
decisions hostile in their operation to the
Spanish Constitution, they would be treated
by the Government as null and void.
Although Spain has not yet received a
stable Government in return for the rotten
dynasty which she threw off year ago, she
has emancipated herself from the domination
of the Church. and in this respect at least
has taken a long stride in the right direction.

EX-SECRETAEy SEWARD is now in Mexico
But the restoration of order to that distracted
country appears to be followed by general
apathy in the volcanic regions of our sister
republic. We would therefore advise Mr.
Seward to extend his journey as far down the
Pacific coast as Southern Peru, where violent
earthquakes are of daily occurrence. He can
then return and pass the winter at Washing
ton in the endeavor to persuade the Senate to
ratify the treaty purchasing the island of ST..
Thomas. A little experience in the earth
quake business will doubtless double his zeal
in the annexation policy.
