,..... > In Jersey.

rha o,a., -. lily been too much In
the habit of making butt .. ~ 80 - crsd;,
ing her pretensions and giving - ,;.ltv !,
for anything much except her spss~ mo
lightning. But Jersey has for long H.
been quietly and unostentatiously asserting
her equality with all of us. She has been
working effectually to put her record above
reproach, and she has been rapidly rising
above the slurs which her grand old demo-
cratic record should long ago have squelched,
until now she commands our unlimited respect
and jeers at Jersey are out OF place. The
capstone Of Jerseys monument to her own
sef-respect has been placed in position by the
unswerving impartiality Of her judges. Judge
Randolph, In the Court of Sessions in Jersey
City, on Friday sentenced two burglars to
Imprisonment, one for twenty and the other
for ten years, for burglary in which they
carried of clothing valued at one hundred and
twenty-five dollars. The sentence may be con-
sidered rather severe in this locality, where the
offenders might have been let of scot free; but
that the Jersey Judge did not think so may be
inferred from the fact that he told the prison
ers before sentencing them that the sentence
Of death would be the only adequate punish
ment for their offence. We ought to say, how
ever, that but for the presence Of gang Of
New York rowdiss, who were present in the
court room to rescue their pals, the Judge
might have been even more merciful but
representing the majesty Of Jersey justice, as
he did, he was not to be put down by an
exhibition Of force on the part of New York
ronghs
Jersey justice has long been bugbear to
the thieves and this last administration Of it
will probably scare out the race altogether.
It will undoubtedly warn New York thieves to
shiny on their own side, and that Is where
the trouble af1icts us. Captain Hawtree tells
Old Eccles In ''Caste" to go over to Jersey
and drink himself to death. He did not mean
our Jersey, but the remark would have been
fully as appropriate If he had. Now we
should like to induce those Of onr old burglars
who have had the luck so far to escape Judge
Bedford, to go over to Jersey and get them
selves locked up for ten or twenty years.

science, rs evidence OF the Incompatible
superiority of the present over every preced-
Ing age; but it Is only necessary to call atten-
ton to facts so well known. The most impor-
tant feature Of our modern civilization, how
ever, is the social and political revolution
which has been effected and which is still
going on. In all former times and under
every phase Of their civilization the masses Of
the people have been little improved or their
condition ameliorated. Most Of the ancient
republics even were oligarchies, where a
privileged few governed and the majority had
no voice in the government. Now the rights
and power Of the people are generally ac-
knowledged; yes, even under monarchical
forms OF government, where concessions of
political rights have to be wrung from the
rulers. Under the potent influence Of
the telegraph, press, steam communication
and the other agencies of this age the masses
of mankind are becoming enlightened, the
principles Of political equality are being uni
versally diffused, and rulers in all civilized
countries have to yield to the voice Of the
people. Stili, we see only the dawn OF the
future. The mighty revolution has only COM
menced. All the nations and races of man
kind will be brought in close communication
with one another, intelligence will be univer-
sally diffused, modern civilization will spread
over the whole face of the globe, political
power will be used through and for the benefit
of the masses, the financial theories and sys-
TENS of the past will be revolutionized and
science will unveiI more and more the secrets
of nature. This is no fancy picture. These
must be the inevitable results of modern pro-
gress. We have entered upon this new and
wonderful age, and both in the development
and advantages of it our own country is des-
tined to be foremost. We might,well rejoice,
like Simeon of old, that we have lived to see
this salvation and the glories Of this nine
teenth century.

ANOTHER INHuMAN MURDER is reported.
A young thief entered an old mans store in
Hudson street last night and became abusive,
vhereupon the old man attempted to put him
out and was instantly stabbed to the heart
with shoemaker's knife by the young vii
lain, who dragged him to the door and gave
him another stab. A policeman was on hand
and the murderer was arrested. So it goes in
this great city that abounds in charities and
churches and schools, but lacks that stern,
unfinching administration of the Law that
checks murder in its inception.

Hcll Gate.

We give In another column an account of
the great labors now in progress at Halletts
Point for the removal Of the rocks that obstruct
the eastern entrance to New York harbor. 1t
will be seen that the operations under General
Newton promise to realize by next summer
a great point in the Improvement. The plan
of these operations is to run tunnel from the
land or from Golfer dam under the rocky
promontory of Hallett's Point, and, by mine
at the end of this tunnel, to destroy the largest
single mass of rock at that place. The feasi-
bility of this plan is apparent, as ore also the
labor and care that will be necessary to carry
it to safe conclusion. It is the first step
taken In the attack on He'll Gate that does not
rest upon some doubtful theory Of mechanics,
but upon known laws of the definite applica-
ton of force to mass. With such plan fairly
in operation we may be certain that great
point will be gained in improving the naviga-
ton there, and equally certain if the same
direction is continued that channel will be
opened through which the largest ships may
safely and easily pass. This success will
dispose of the project to cut ship canal
across the town Of Astoria, connecting the
water beyond Hallett's Point with that part Of
the East river between Blackwells Island and
Long Island. At least with the He'll Gate
rocks away, the only purpose such channel
could answer would be by acting as sluice
to take of the force Of water that drives so
rapid current around Halletts Point. The
canal would probably do this; but it is quite
doubtful whether this benefit would justify the
enormous expense. 1t is not probable that
we can have such channel and the He'll
Gate improvement also and if we must
choose it seems very clear that the whole
weight Of argument is in favor of the Hell
Gate opening.

Dress Fashions from Paris.

Our special fashions correspondent in
Paris, dating on the 10th of January, reports
the various styles Of dress costume prevailing
in that attractive centre of idea for the odistes
of the outside world on the 10th Of January
We had just elaborated in our columns the
u.r,,. les Of material, color and make up which
were TO be seen worn in and around Cairo.
Egypt, when the people threw their biblical
,>ncestors completely in the shade during the
i. ereral ts.es, by showing that they could
clotbs themseh. .,es in ''purple and fine linen"
every day, althous., their revered ana much
honored prvyeuitors !. s''rely escaped from the
ORIGINAL 40 leaf TO the re> ! and first condition
of Miss Flora McFlimsy w Oh 'no 10,,"'ou
that she had ''nothing to wear" 'oA. o
we have told of the gorgeous train " "oA ".'
worn by Pope Plus the Ninth, Of the M gu
fcent vestment habits Of the cardinals, and o.
the splendid scene which was Witnessed in the
galleries Of the Church Of the Vatican az his
Holiness swept along to the High Altar to
celebrate the religious services Of the
Council and Of Christmas, proclaiming
all the while the non sam dignus,
although the Pope and the members Of the
congregation were well aware that st. Peter
had not . hat ON his head or second coat for
his back when he cast away his fishing net to
''follow" Him the Saviour as commanded.
To-day we chronicle the Paris fashions for
the new year-a happy combination and
original in its illustration Of the dress styles
impress for the year 1870. The imperial
ball season was in full blast. ,Eugenie's New
Years robe is described. Pearls and lace,
with gems of court and aristocranc chit-chst,
sbounded. Premier Olivier was criticised AZ
man out Of fashion or above the bonds Of the
tailors by the youthful bellies Of the Tuileries,
who were radiant in their ssNile river" toilets.
There was ''fast party" preparing for the
opening of the opera season, so that, notwith-
standing Pierre Bonaparte, Rochefort, Traup-
mann, the commercial treaties, Clarendon and
the Pope, our special fashions letter to-day
sparkes all over with wit and humor and
gems and jewels, and will thus give hope, con-
ISOLATION and esprit to the fair and brave on
this side Of the Atlantic.

COMING HOME TO RoosT..-It is no doubt q
serious evil and decentralization Of our repub-
lican system for party to legislate it's crea-
lures into Office, or in any manner to so change
the appointments to Office by legislation as to
break up recognized system for the further
ing of party purposes. Two or three projects
Of this sort are now before the Legislature.
By one it is proposed to take away the patron
age from certain Offices now filed by republi-
cans and give this same patronage to Offices
now filed by democrats. This teaches the
people that Offices are erected not for the good
Of society, but only to make places for politi-
clans. This evil was introduced into our
politics by the republican party, and the
democracy adopts it.

DoCroRs DIsAaREE.-In case in one Of
the courts the other day Doctor Rogers
sued for the amount Of his bill, $l23; and it
must have been consolation to the parents of
the child treated, which had died, that six
doctors swore the treatment did not kill it,
although three doctors swore that it did.
With such handsome majority in favor of the
treatment they of course could not entertain
any doubt Of It's innocence

TIE OLIVIER MIN1sTRY-ITs FIRST SUo-
oEss.-The debate in the French Chambers on
the commercial treaties between Great Britain
and France, and which was brought to close
on Friday, reveals two things-frst, the
strength of Napoleon, and second, the strength
of the Olivier Ministry. NJ. Olivier pro-
claimed himself in favor of the commercial
treaties. He did so openly and like q true
man. From parliamentary point Of view,
his speech was open, honest, daring, almost
to fault. But the vote which sustained the
government-201 against 32-was so sweeping
that we have no longer any reason to deny
that Napoleon under constitutional govern
ment is as strong as he was under the one
man system. UP to the present moment M.
Olivier has done well. His is a peculiarly
difficult position but he seems to be fully
equal to all its requirements.

WoMANs PRoGREss woman's rights
women, having calmly argued their point and
demanded their rights, have now advanced so
far as to get mad and feel insulted at the fur
ther denial of them. The California Suffrage
Convention express themselves in that way
over the refusal of the Regents Of the Califor-
MIA University to admit women students.

DUE1s IN PROSPECT. McCoppin,
of San Francisco, and Mr.. Beige, member Of
the California Senate, are bent on fighting
duel. A challenge has been sent and accepted,
and all efforts to compromise the matter have
failed. Two Cuban editors also are trying to
get up duel in Key West, but so far the au-
thorities have prevented them.

A HIGHWAY ROBBERY which had all the
elements of the Claude Duval and Dick Turpin
era occurred near Hyde Park, Long Island,
last evening. A farmer was compelled to
stand and deliver by three highwaymen, who
robbed him of 1000, and in the struggle that
ensued shot him three times.

A LESSON IN DIPLOMACY FROM HAYTI.-
General Tate, the Haytien Minister at Wash
ington, recently accepted an invitation to a
diplomatic dinner at the White House; butt
learning since that Salnave was shot and him
self banished, he has courteously declined the
invitation

MORE GAS CHARTERS WANTED.-One more
gas company is before the Legislature seeking
to have that body give into the possession of
the said company all the upper part of this
island on about the same conditions which
other companies hold other parts Of the city.
We hope that some one in the Legislature will
examine pretty closely the terms of this
new privilege. Undoubtedly good gas COM
pany is great public advantage, but the
monopoly given is SO great that it should be
most stringently restrained from every possible
abuse.

some good in having cleared any doubt that

completely or as to the sell played upon the
shrewd operators by Corbin, and yesterday
General Butterfeld gave his testimony, clear
ing away the dirt that had been flung upon
him

THE PERRY TRIAL.-Another deadlock has
taken place i'm the jury on the Perry case, and
up to halfpast twelve o'clock last night they
had failed to agree. No point of law was in
debate, but they could not get an even vote on
the straight question of guilty or not guilty.

AN ANTI-SLAvERY REJOICING came of in
Boston the other evening. If these anti
slavery people, now that slavery is dead and
gone, can think Of nothing better to do than to
harp upon that old string of the abolition agi-
tation, we would suggest that they turn their
attention to the condition of the operatives in
the New England factories Perhaps they
might find in those institutions fine field for
their philanthropy.

The Naval Appropriations-Discha Q
WOrkmeu.

The Naval ApprOpriatf0ns-Ofscna O1
Thirty-six hundred workmen were ordered
to be discharged yesterday from the Brook
lyn, Charlestown and Philadelphia Navy
Yards by Secretary Robeson, on the ground
that the appropriation to pay them was ex-
pended. He has, however, modified his order
so as to retain certain workmen in the con-
struction and steam engineering departments
and engaged on steam launches, provided
Congress will permit him to transfer million
dollars from one bureau to another These
sweeping discharges were no doubt intended
to be an answer to Mr.. Dawes speech on
the extravaganza Of the Navy Department,
but they fall short of their purpose. Mr..
Dawes, when urging retrenchment, did not
mean to have it take place in the important
departments, like the Bureau of Construction,
nor did he or Congress intend that the blow
should fall so directly or heavily on the gov
ernment employees. If the Appropriation
Committee had been informed by Secretary
Robeson that the appropriation for the Navy
Yards was expended they would have imme-
diately appropriated enough, and Mr.. Dawes,
no doubt, would have engineered the move
ment.

Tho European MaiIs-Old World Polite

Tho European Mails-Old World Politics
and Progress.
The mails from Europe supply compre-
hensive report in detail of our advices by
cable kilograms to the 18th Of January. The
budget, which is varied in its contents and of
very interesting character, affords an insight to
many of the principal causes which were either
moving or controlling the Old World peoples at
that time, besides presenting pretty sound
basis for accurate, unprejudiced differences as
to their probable sequences. The initial of
the great free trade agitation, both in Eagland
and France, is noted, 80 that it can be easily
seen where the peoples are likely to stand,
and that at an early date, on the question of
commercial protection. The Right Honorable
Mr.. Forster, a member Of the Gladstone
Cabinet, addressed the people Of Bradford
on the important subjects of the rela-
tions of Queen Victoria to France, the
Irish Church bill, Irish radicalism and
revolutionism, free trade, the Alabama claims
and the attitude of the British people towards
America, in a speech which will command an
amount of attention equal to that afforded to
the recent utterances Of John Bright, and thus
prepare our readers for an intelligent discus
sion Of the many important issues which will
be presented to the English Parliament on and
after the 9th Of February. Premier Olliviers
Cabinet position was sharply attacked and ably
defended in the French Legislature during a
debate which we report. The Bonaparte- Noir
tragedy and its consequences afford newspa-
per matter of very considerable interest.
French radieslism, British democracy and
Irish revolntionism are thus treated side by
side in our coin INNS, SO that the readers of the
HERALD can easily perceive that the world
really 'sm owes" politically and materially, the
old lands gravitating more and more, both in
idea, interest and the means Of communication
towards the youngest and freest nation Of all.

A BRACE OF RErUDIAroRs-Mu has
made convert Of Golladay to his reputation
doctrine, and the question was discussed with
such great spirit among the democratic mem
bers Of the House yesterday that the word
''cowardice" was banded between them, and
Mr.. Golladay even suggested that there were
other places where the statement could be
made good
The New York herald., 1870-01-30

IMPROVEMENT ON GRAND SoALE.-The
latest proposition for facilitating uptown
travel involves the newest notion yet. This is
nothing less than grand iron arcade over
Third avenue, the Bowery and Chatham street,
to extend the whole length of the city above
the City Hall, with three rail tracks on top of
the arcade. This rather exceeds the plan of
the Greenwich street elevated railway, which
is content with one side of the street and one set
Of pillars. In this new proposition, as we un-
derstand it, there is only the framework Of an
arcade, and it would be something Of an i'm
provement of the plan to fill the intervals with
glass, and give us on grand scale one Of
those covered streets that are not an un-
common feature Of several European cities.
With glass archway stretching over Its whole
width the Bowery would once more become
the rival Of Broadway as the great centre of
retail trade.

Providence as preparatory to this new age-tO
the wonderful developments Of the nineteenth
century. The civilization of Greece or Rome
and that was the highest Of ancient times-can-
not be compared with ours Of the present
day. The most intellectual people Of former
times never dreamed of the magnetic tele-
graph, of that steam power which now circum-
nayigates the globe and unites all the nations
of the world, of the railroad which spans con-
tinents and covers the territory of all civilized
nations like network, and of that wonderful
printing press which diffuses intelligence all
over the earth, like the light Of the sun and
almost as rapidly The continents which now
hold instantaneous converse with each other
through submerged threads Of wire were not
known even to the ancients. Countries and
people remote from each other are brought in
communication more easily than neighboring
towns were few years ago. Look also At the
thousands Of inventions in machinery, which
perform more work than all the combined
labor Of mankind could, and at the manufac-
| lures, which have given o new phase
! to life and which have enlarged COM
merce to degree that no one formerly
could have believed possible. We might
refer to the almost godlike power Of man in
modern times in exploring the bowels of the
earth and realms Of space, in counting the
years of age Of the globe, in nSlyzing the
rays of the sun and telling the composition Of
that body, and in all the astonishing dis
coveries in chemistry and other branches Of
