The Judiciary.

That honest, that able, that upright, that
grand old man, Chief Justice Pearson !
North Carolina has had many men of his
toric distinction, many men of eminence
who have worn the ermine. She has scarcely
had a greater, and she has had none more
unimpeachable than her present Chief
Justice. 80 s..- ai s
a A mere lawyer rarely looks beyond the
letter OF the law. He lives in authorities.
He abounds in citations. He delights in de-
cisiOns He entrenches himself in prece-
dents. But there are some principles which
transcend formal law There are some exi-
gencies for which no legislation can make
provision. Something is therefore left to
judicial discretion. sa. it,.r
Peculiarly do the duties of the Executive
in dangerous and troublesome times tran
scend formal legislation. To a certain ex-
tent the Executive is left free and must be
left free from formal legal restraint. Such
an exigency recently occurred in this State.
The Governor knew his duty. He did it.
He did it nobly. He did it faithfully. He
did it firmly. He did it conscientiously.
But at this point his conduct passed un.
der the review of the judiciary, and in par
ticular of the Chief Justice. Then shone
out the character of that great and good
man. He recognized that spirit Of law,
which is immeasurably beyond the letter
and lie decided that he had no legal power
to contravene executive action except SO
tar as the law gave him power, and that in
certain spheres of action the Executive
must be independent. ,rqf /

1t Is vulgar error that Bismarck is Ger
many. Bismark is the child of the German
system of education, but he has strong abso-
Iutist instincts. He is man of great genius
but he could not occupy his present posi-
tion except for the general Intelligence
which exists in Germany. The Court of
Prussia reminds one of those of Charlemagne
and Louis XIV, and the galaxy of great
names that cluster about the imperishable
fame of Lincoln. No such men gathered to
Napoleon. He did not propose to rule by
intelligence, but by force True, neither
did Charlemagne, nor Louis XIV, nor the
first Napoleon. But for all that they did it.
They obtained power by violence, but as
sured Of their own pre- eminence they were
not afraid to draw about them the strongest
men and the choicest scholars.

The party which claims to be Conserva-
tive has thus abundantly shown its idea of
conservatism. 1t is hostile to progress. 1t
places itself in antagonism to the spirit of
the age. The whole era is forward move
ment of humanity. The Conservative party
stands in the rear. ties ropes to the car and
holds back. The ropes break and Mr. Con-
servative is left sprawling on the ties. That
was his fate in the secession movement, in
the emancipation movement, in the move
mcnt for the new Constitution But he is
thorough Bourbon and learns nothing. He
watches for another train. He places TIM
bers on the track. He invents Kukluxsm.
There is a rush of steam, the roar of train,
CLEAN of light in the darkness, crash, an
outcry-a hidious spectacle of mangled
corpses; and amid the fragments of shatter-
ed and burning cars the Kuklux party is
seen in its favorite disguise, gowned and
horned, dancing on the track with idi-
otic delight, or engaged in the equally
characteristic occupation of plundering the
persons of the groaning and dying passen-
gers. That is now! What is the next

NAPOLEONS VERSION OF THE FRENCH
DEFEAT.

The Figaro publishes version OF the En-
peror Napoleon's pamphlet on the campaign
of 1870, and the causes which led to the cap
itulation at Sedan. The Emperor ecalls hi,
manifesto lust after. the magivings with
which he listened to the cry, "On to Berlin Y
and says his plan was to mass l5O 600 men
at Metz, 100, 600 at StrasbOurg and ) 900 at
Chalons and to cross the Rhine near Hagenau
with large force in order to separate South
ern Germany from the northern contedera
tions. He hoped to win the first great battle
and secure an alliance of Austria and Italy
with France, and impose neutrality on Ba
varia, Baden and Wurtemburg. The defects
in the French military system, and the delay
in bringing up men and material, defeated
this plan. He enumerates the difficulties en-
countered. but acquitS the war office of
blame. The Germans having had ample
time to bring their forces into the field, and
the French being out-numbered and put up
on the defence, Il new plan of the campaign
became necessary, involving n retreat on
Chalons. This the Regency disapproved a.
discouraginS to the Republic, and the En-
peror was urged to resume the offensive
Yielding his conviction and McMahon's ad-
vice such plan was adopted. He alude>
to his situation after he had given up the
command of the army and where his name
and authority We're ignored in Paris as ex-
ceedingly painful, He acquiesced in the
march tor the relief of Metz, though con
scious of the danger attending that enter
prise He describes the operations and an
alyzes the battles which forced the surrender
at Sedan, and gives an account of his inter
view with Bismarck and the King of Prussia
The pamphlet closes with the declaration that
the German successes are due to superiority
in numbers, improved artillery, rigorous dis
cipline respect for authority, and the militia
ry and patriotic spirit of the people, which
absorbs all other interests and opinions. II
censures the loose habits introduced by the
African wars, in which the French regular
troops have been engaged-the want of dis
cipline, lack OF cohesion. absence of order
carelessness of bearing and excess OF lug
gage carried by the infantry. The efficiency
Of the army was also weakened by the ex
