ANOTHER TRIAL FOR REYNoLDs.-It appears
there is kink in the Revised Statutes that
provides for a distinct trial of sanity in a case
like that of the convicted murderer Reynolds,
or Breem. His counsel intends to demand
this trial, and we suppose he will get it. His
one point of evidence Of unsound mind is the
.'apathy" of the prisoner. On just such evi-
dcnce as he has to prove Reynolds insane it IS
POSSIBLE to prove the insanity of every man
living. There was certain advantage in the
ancient stoiid temper of society that refused
to 90 into all these niceties. Society assumed
once that it was great deal better to hang
such fellows and If their heads were not quite
healthy they were the less loss to the commu-
nifty. That old plan weeded out the criminal
classes immensely.

THE QUARANTINE CoMMIssIoNRRs.-The
Quarantine Commissioners have seemed dis
posed lately to emulate the sensational tao
tos OF the Board Of Health, and have ex-
hausted their activity in hearing testimony
and making noise over the quarantine abuses
Of the Swinburne regime Those abuses were
bad enough, and it would have been good
thing to have made all possible noise about
them at the time when that noise would have
been useful. 1t strikes us that such noise Is
just now little late. The Commissioners will
do better TO attend to the future, and we
should have more faith in their good intentions
for the future If they did not seem 80 deeply
anxious about making contracts. The hint in
the note Of DR.. Carnochan, given else
where, in declining to meet the Commits
sioners, is excellent as to the true purposes
of quarantine. The doctor sees that the true
problem is ''how commerce and quarantine can
be made to harmonize so that. commercial in
terests shall suffer as little as possible without
prejudice to public safety" This is of more
Importance than sensation and lighterage con-
tracts

PROTECTING SOCIETY. The sentences passed
by Judge Bedford upon convicted criminals in
the Court of General Sessions yesterday are
an additional assurance from the Judge that
neither sentimentaiity nor political influence
shall intervene between justice and those who
have violated the laws Of the land. Society
can be protected from thieves and wonld-be
murderers and incendaries only by firm and
fearless administration of the law, and we are
glad to note that Judge Bedford exhibits no
disposition to deviats from the commendable
course he has pursued in thus administering
Justice since his elevation to the bench.

FIGHTING THEIR PoINTs.-The defendants
in the election fraud cases in Brooklyn do not
mean to come to trial on the main issue if they
can help it. The first step of their fight thus
far is against the Grand Jury that found the
indictment. They move to quash the indict-
ment because the court that convened the
Grand Jury adjourned before the Grand Jury
found o bill. They failed on this trumpery
defence What next?

PENSION PAYMENTs.-N more pitiful sight
can be witnessed than the appearance Of the
poor soldiers widows who are entitled to PEN
sions making application in a basement room
Of the Custom House for the mite which Con-
gress allows them. The law regulating the
payments has so hampered them that an
unnecessary amount Of inconvenience, and
oftentimes suffering, is caused them before
they can get what they are entitledto Extor-
ton also helps to depress these poor people.
Congress is to blame for this and it would be
nothing more than justice to have the law
which permits such wrongs altered to more
equitable form.

The DOMINICAN TREATY.-The Senatorial
Committee on Foreign Relations, having con-
cluded it's labors on the Dominican treaties,
yesterday instructed Senator Sumner to report
against them. The Massachusetts Senator
has so far gained his point. That the mea-
sures had few friends in the committee is pretty
well understood, and should the House decide
to act in accordance with the spirit of the re-
port another opportunity to obtain q foothold
in the Antilles will be thrown away. After
warm discussion on the subject, in which Mr.
Sumner, as was expected, led the opposition,
the vote stood five against two in favor of re-
commencing the ratification Of the treaty.
Senators Morton and Harlan, it is thought,
will make minority report when the ques-
ton is brought up in the Senate, and an endea-
vor will also be made to consider the subject
in open session.

ADVANTAGE or WOMEN JURoRs.-It has
been discussed as great argument against
feminine jurors that they would not agree. 1t
proves point in their favor that this very
obstinacy will prevent them giving up their
opinion to avoid the discomfort of several
days in the jury box. It has been the reproach
Of other jurors that "Rogues must hang that
jurymen may dine" In other words, men will
give up q doubt rather than lose din,(br.

GENERAL PRIM has governed Spain for over
a year and half He asked the world to
believe that he could and would give Spain
liberty and prosperity and new lease Of life.
Prim has failed, and failed most eyre giously.
We are not sorry to find that Madrid has
found Prim out and expressed itself accord
ingly. Prim has proved great failure, and
the sooner we cease to hear Of him the better.
If Spain cannot make more Of her own

THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE yesterday

THE PARK.-The Park is the only thing
left sacred from the clutches Of city poll
ticians. 1t is the only thing in the city not de-
graded and contaminated by some taint of the
management of the municipal authorities. 1t

must remain such. 1t must not be turned into
aplacer for the gold-washing municipal jobbers,
nor into a squatting ground for the peanut
brigade that now gathers around the City Hall.

The FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. President
Grant yesterday sent to the Senate a message,
together with communication from Secretary
Fish in relation to the States which have rati-
names thirty States as having transmitted to
the Department notices Of their having adopted
the amendment, and says that in complying
with the resolution Of the Senate calling for
the list, he ''has not assumed to anticipate the
action Of Congress in defining the condition or
the relations of any State to the federal gov
ernment." Mr.. Fish does not state the reason
why proclamation has not yet been issued
announcing the ratification Of the amendment
and its incorporation into the constitution.

INCOME TAx.-The following clause of law
in regard to the income tax seems to be both
erng some honest aud other sort Of people -
THAT the taxes on incomes herein imposed
shall be levied on the lst day Of March, and
be due and payable on Or before the 18th day
Of April in each year until and including the
year 1870, and no longer" Now, what is the
purpose Of this clause? It is to define and
declare at what time in the year the income
tax is due and payable. And it declares very
plainly that the tax shall be due and payable
by the "l3th day of April in each year
until and including the year 1870, and no
longer" No payment Of the tax can be de-
manded later than April, 1870, and at that
time we pay the tax on our incomes Of 1869.
On the income Of 1870, therefore, no tax is
payable.

The CHARTER NuIsANcE.-It Is reported by
despatch from Albany that delegation of
the Aldermanic fathers of this metropolis have
restored harmony to the councils of the war
ring democracy. The harmony that our Alder
men have made is a beautiful thing to contem-
plate, and thing in which the public may
perhaps have little faith. The truth is, all this
Charter row and democratic discord is becom-
ing nuisance, and it is pretty well time it was
played out. While there seemed some indca-
ton that there was on one side or the other
sincere wish to better the condition of our
misruled city people had patience; but it is
now so evident that the great reform war to
the jackknife is merely demand for new
deal on the spoils, and that the only change
we are likely to have is change Of plunderers,
the people have made up their minds to care
marvelously little about the whole business
They do not expect any Charter, nor any i'm
provement in the condition Of the city, and
they will not be disappointed. -

Moore Versus Bouue,l.

II ever there was case fitted In peculiar
way to be tried by the feminine Judgment il is
that Of Bonnell versus Moore, recently before
the conrts in this city. Mr. Bonnell says that
he was married to Miss Moore in 1864 Miss
Moore says that she has never been married al
all. The clergyman who oficated is certain
that he married Bonnell to somebody, but can
not identity the lady. In case OF mistaken
identity in Boston, a few days since, young
lady concluded that the other fellow must
have been the Dev1l, and cut her throat. as If to
hurry away to his arms. 1t does not appear
that Bonnell has any notion that he married
the Devil in the form of Miss Moore, and he
has not yet cut his throat Over this Bonnell-
Moore case there has apparently been among
the "friends" Of the parties great deal OF pri'
vate scandal and Miss Moore seems to have
brought the case into court to silence at once
and forever the story that she is married to
Bonnell. She naturally argues that il he 10
married to her he can prove it, and If he can
not prove it she will be free. This Is, perhaps,
divorce case In new shape. There was
marriage, conducted with secrecy, and il the
lady did not like the result of the marriage

it and putting the husband to the difficult job
Of proving who he was married toS
Six BLACK CRows.-The frst gun for the

1t is asserted that these colored wards are
hunted down like wild animals of the junytes
and murdered in cold blood. Shooting, whip
ping and burning are declared to bo
of common occurrence, and a poetcal
aIlusion is made to the resurrection
of ''the dark and damning catalogue of inquisi-
toral punishments" from sits long sleep in
the bosom of the dark ages of persecution"
The sable prosecuted also complain that
colored ladies and gentlemen are not allowed
to ride in first class cars, and wind up by
requesting the speedy protection Of Congress.
we have no doubt that society is in an unfor-
tunate condition in Tennessee, but it looks
very much as if these darkies have painted
the picture trihe too hideous. 1t is hardly
regarded as essential to the easy digestion Of

ANOTHER COLLISION IN THE JAPAN WATERS -
By telegraph we are informed Of another
collision off the coast Of Japan, in which Ger
man ship, the Carrie and Jane, was run into
and sunk by the Sunda, Of the Peninsular and
Oriental line. These two accidents in such quick
succession, and both leading to similar results,
surely must indicate some gross fault on the
part Of the English commanders. However,
for the moment the full particulars of the acci-
dent to the German ship are wanting, and
some days will perhaps elapse ere sufficient
details will be received enabling us to form an
opinion. The traditional order Of sport your
collision, probably calls for some discretion
before being put into practice.
