JUDGE BEDFORD few days ago, in sentence
ing burglar. gave momentous warning to
the burglarous profession generally. He said
that person found in . house for burglarious
purposes was liable to indictment and convic-
ton for intent to do murder if necessary, and
under that head could be made to suffer
twenty years imprisonment at hard labor.
This warning is timely. Murder is, Of course,
the very last resort Of the burglar, and
he is not likely to resort to it except when
he is detected and assailed; but he still
counts it among the probabilities of every
burglary, and is consequently ready to COM
NIT it if occasion requires. Every burglar,
then, is a murderer in intent, and if he does
not actually commit murder it is because some
better and less dangerous mode of perfectin9
the crime of burglary presents Itself.

THE LONG BRANCH RACES. They had
another great day yesterday for the sporting
and gay circles Of Long Branch at Monmouth
Park The first season at that course may
be safely pronounced the most brilliant and
successful of any in the history Of the turf on
this Continent. The new steamboat and rail-
way facilities to this Long Branch course, and
the surf and the gay summer season, and the
great gathering of the fashionable world,
including General Grants and Collector MUIR
phys and Mr.. Tweeds headquarters down
there have contributed mainly to the great
success of these races as a popular attrac-
ton. See our report Of yesterdays sports
There will be no race to-day but tomorrow,
the last, will be the greatest day OF all, with
its four mile heats and the splendid horses
entered for the contest

THE REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE is In ses-
sion at Saratoga and has called the State Con-
vention for September T. TO meet at the same
fashionable point The most important work
before the committee is to harnonize different
factions which have been threatening such dis
aster to the party Of late. The Fenton de-
lection is not very serious one, and Fenton
himself appears willing to come back
and be a good boy, but there is sense
of disappointment among the yeomanry OF
the party ia this State at some of the IN
3ucky proceedings OF Congress, which the
committee will find 1t knotty work to aliay.
The refusal to abolish the income tax and the
neglect to admit foreign vessels to American
register are mistakes that win impress them
selves upon the result Of the elections next
fall, unless very clear platform Ia adopted
and some very honest names are pat forward
on the ticket

General CRAMPS Platform.

The platform of General Grant-peace, re-
trenchment of expenses, correction of abuses,
reduction of taxes and redemption of the
debts very good platform for the repub-
lcan party if they only knew 1t. There was
no surplus, or next to no surplus, revenue
under Johnsons administration; for Johnson
was 80 absorbed in the work Of defending s'the
constitution as it was" that he had no time to
look after the interests Of the Treasury.
Hence the whiskey rings and various other
rings for defrauding the revenue distracted
from the resources of the Treasury millions
upon millions of money. Under General Grant
most of these leakages, if not all Of them, have
been stopped and such has been the effect
of this policy of practical reform, connected
with general cutting out of needless ex-
penses, that with q reduction of the national
taxations to the extent, if we are not mis-
taken. of over hundred millions, all told,
since January, 1868, General Grants admin
exhibit as it's reductions of the public debit

One hundred and fifty-six millions reduction
of the debt, on greatly diminished taxation
list, and over one hundred millions as a
reserved fund in the Treasury, is ON excellent
record for General Grants administration /;
and such facts make the strongest platform Of
all platforms for the party in power. In short,
the republican party, which was given new
lease of power in the election Of General
Grant, can only maintain its ascendancy upon
the SAFE sound, honest and solid platform Of
Grants administration-pesce, retrenchment,
reform, the development of our resodfces, the
! reduction of our taxes and the redemption Of
the debt. While the ship Of state is thus
smoothly sailing before the wind the captain
may be excused in little rest and refresh
ment, which he has been enjoying in his cabin,

From his cottage by the sea.

THE GERMAN VESSELS IN PoRT. There are
nine large North German ocean steamers now
lying in the port of New York, unable to sail
for Hamburg or Bremen for fear of capture by
French cruisers, unauthorized to discharge
their crews in foreign port and not allowed
to register themselves under the flag of safety
the flag of the United States. There are also
twenty-seven sailing vessels in the same
predicament. If anything can exem-
plify the stupidity of Congress in re-
fusing to admit foreign vessels to Ameri-
can register this startling exhibit does
so. The expense to which these steamers
and sailing vessels are subjected probably ag
prerates fourteen thousand dollars per day,
and there is no relief for them except in the
cessation of the war. It may be, too, that the
French steamers will be tied up in just the
same way when the Prussian navy gets more

That Bessian sheet, the Boston Times,
Espouses Prussla's cause In rhymes;
But In defending crime and treason,
Ii gives us FAR more rhyme than reason.

The word ''Hessian" is used in sense of
opprobrium, under the impression probably,
that those hireliDg Hessians who fought
against American liberty during the Revolu-
ton came from German duchies over which
Prussia held dominion. But such happens
not to be the case. Prussia was then COM
paratively an Insignificant Power, and instead
Of her monarch, Frederick the Great the
grand uncle Of the present King of Prussia
and whose sagacity and valor as military
chieftain challenged then as they challenge now
the admiration ofthe civilized world-being hos
tile to American independence, his sentiments
were quite the reverse. Therefore the Prus-
slams of our Revolutionary epoch should not be
identified with the Prussia of the present day,
O nation which, in the progress Of destiny and
amid the crumbling Of dynasties, has absorbed
some of those Hessian principalities whose
very names are hateful to the memories of
American patriotism. Our democratic organs
should, therefore, be little cautious, lest In
their efforts to pander to just American pre-
judice they 20 little too far and ALLEVIATE from
their ranks great many Of their warmes'
friends---the true democratic republican Ger
mans Of the period.

Ths Bank OF England Fecling the War
Pressure,

We learn BY telegram from London that tbs
officers of the Bank Of England have announced
a further advance in tue rate OF discount OF
one per cent. The minimum rate Is now six
per cent. The barometer does not indicate
more surely the sudden changes of weather or
the coming storm than does the Bank OF Eng
land the financial disturbance and apprehen-
sion OF approaching disasters in Great Britain.
The war between France and Prussia, and the
complications growing out of ii, have alarmed
the Bank authorities Looking, too, at the
extraordinary preparations of England to
place herself on war footing, with the tone
of public sentiment and the language of the
leaders Of all parties in Parliament, il is not
unlikely that the Bank has received HUT
from the government to be ready for crisis.
At such time as this there is tendency to
draw away the specie Of the Bank. The
demand for it abroad and the rush of timid
people to get hold of it for the purpose Of
boarding against an evil day, would soon bring
the specie reserve down to low ebb II
the Bank were not to take precautionary
measures to prevent thet Raising the rate
of discount is always the first step-putting
on the screws, as it is caled--to prevent q
drain of specie. Six per cent as the minimum
is high rate of discount in England, and it
rarely goes up to that except in times Of war
or q great commercial crisis. 1t is evident,
therefore, that there is serious apprehension
in England that she cannot be kept out OF the
war. 1t is probable that the rate Of discount
will be raised still higher. We should not be
surprised to hear within a week that 1t has
gone up to seven per cent, unless something
remarkable and unexpected should occur to
Indicate determined neutrality on the part OF
Great Britain or the prospect Of the war not
spreading. We do not apprehend that the
action of the Bank OF England will have any
serious or lasting effect upon the financial
affairs of this country. 1t mighs cause tenn
porary depression in our bonds and stocks
abroad, but this would not continue long
While we remain at peace and go on in our
wonderful career Of prosperity there need be
no fear that the credit of this country will
remain depressed whatever events may
happen in Europe.

JOHN REAL The murder which John Real
committed over two years ago will be finally
expiated to-day. There is more Of o solemn
warning in this slow but determined justice
than there was in the quick, retributive execu-
ton of Jack Reynolds. In the execution that
will occur this morning there are none Of
the elements Of popular vengeance,
no evidence of acquiescence in y
general demand for the life of some one,
no hurried disproval of the Wanted theory
of the murderer that changing was played
out, " which characterized the taking off, Of
that poor devil OF philosopher. On the con-
trary Real has had two years OF contest with
the law for his life. He has bad The benefit
of appeals, writs of error, petitions for mercy
and the Governors decision. Every means
of saving his Life has failed, and therein we
hold that the example of his execution will
prove more salutary to would-be murderers
than hasty settlement Of his case could have
proven.
