The Reign of Terror.

Mr.. TWEEDs recent victories At Albany
are generally regarded rs an introduction to
reign of terror in the Democratic party
in this city. Experienced Democrats shake
their heads ominously, and recall the fate
of more than one misguided enthusiast, who
in times past has dared to defy tho mys
terious power of the Ring. What has been
will be again, they say. Hundreds of official
heads will yet roll into the basket, and hun.
dreds Of brave ward politicians viii disappear
and be heard of no more.
A few years ago the Hon. HENRY HURON,
then Judge of the Common Pleas, opposed
the Broadway railroad grant, wherein PETER
BARR SwEENY and JOHN J. BRADLEY
brother-in.law Of the same were interested.
At the expiration of his term, Judge Hi
Ton was sent to the guillotine.
More recently, when Judge BARNETT OF
the same Court refused to take part in the
naturalization frauds, denomination was

nominated PETER BARR SwEESY for the va

number six thousand dollars apiece although
they offered TO confirm MATHEW T. BREH.

THOMAS BoEsE, Clerk of the Board of
Education, would not allow SwEENY and
TWEED TO use his Office for political pur.
poses. Not having influence enough with
the School Commissioners to remove 50 good

GEoRGE w. MCLEAN having dismissed
WILLIAM NJ. TWEED from the Street Depart

Albany TO abolish the Department, and thus
legislate Mr.. MCLEAN out of Office.
The Board of Aldermen not being favorable
to the poultice pavement and other big jobs
Of SwEENY, TWEED, and oHALL, that
Board is by legislative act wiped out of
existence.

state of mind by certain facts in respect to
the relations existing between RIcHARpsoN
and MCFARLAND's wife, which came to the
personal knowledge of MCFARLAND and
certain other facts of the same kind which
were reported to MCFARLAND, and which he
believed. They endeavor TO account for it,
also, by certain facts in regard to RICHARD.
SONS agency in taking McFARLAND's chill
dren away from him, some of which facts
were within the personal knowledge Of Nc
F.,RLAND, while others were reported to him,
and credited by him.
Now, the real point at issue in this branch
Of the case is, what wns the state of Nc.
FARLAND's mind, what was the cause of that
state, and was the condition of his mind
such as to relieve him of legal responsibility,
on an indictment for murder for the shooting
of RIcuARDsoN2
Holding his clear intellect steady to this
point, the Recorder well says that it makes no
difference for the only purpose of this trial
whether the facts which upset McFARLAND's
mind were true or false. The question Is
not as to their truth or falsity, but whether
MCFARLAND believed them in whole or in
part, and whether this belief was the cause
of that condition of mind which, as his coun
sci allege, absolves him from legal respon
sibility for the act for which he is indicted
That this is sound law nobody can dispute.
That 1t will materially narrow the field
which the prosecution will be allowed TO
traverse, when they come to put in their re-
butting and explanatory proof, is seen at n
glance. That, if rigidly enforced, 1t will
leave many persons whose names figure con
spicuously in this trial in very embarrassing
positions, is painfully apparent

We find in tho HtraM telegram from
Washington which says that Gen. GRANTS
Cabinet are unanimously opposed to allow
ing the British Government to send troops
through our territory to conquer the Winni
peg revolution. Mr. THORNTON" SAYS the
writer, has not asked our Government, as
an act of courtesy, to allow the Dominion
troops to pass through our territory, an route
to the scene of tho Winnipeg revolt and
from what he hns CLEANED of tho views of
President GRANT and Secretary FISH, it is
not at all probable no will feel disposed to
hazard the chance of refusal"
This writer mistakes the point. What the
British authorities want is that the steamers
which are to transport tho expedition across
Lake Superior may be allowed to pass
through the canal Of tho Sault St. Mary.
That canal Is in the State of Michigan and
belongs exclusively to US. If these steamers
are allowed TO pass it, formidable obstacle

II is reported that Prince ARTHUR is to go
with his regiment to the Red River country, to
help put down the revolution in that part of his
royal mothers dominions. After having been
the recipient Of so many courtesics in the United
States, the Prince is anxious to display his graft
tude by preventing the Winnipcgers from becom-
ing part and parcel ofa country in which his High.
ness has met so many tuit-huuters and lunkeys.
Perhaps the Prince is at the same time fred with
a holy ambition Of emulatiug the bravery Of
ALFRED the Great. To be sure, he selects rather
narrow and out-Oi-thc-way sphere for the display
of his prOwess but then the young mans inten-
tons ure good and deserve commentator.

A very lively quarrel is in progress in

Senator from that State, and Governor STEVEN.

During the Senatorial canvass the Governor and
his friends are reported to have charged that Mr..
McCRtERY had recommended Gen. STEPHEN q.

fee. To outsiders this may seem comparative
ly harmless act; but to the Kentucky Democrat
II is equivalent to political death.warrant. Mr..
McCRErRY, smarting under the imputaton,
launches forth from the Senate Chamber a com.
muncation denying that he ever recommended
Gen. BuRBRIDGE for office, and intimating that
Gov. STEVENSON had malicously circulated a re.
port 10 that effect. To this the Governor replies
that he never did anything Of the kind. Then
comes letter of fearful length from the Senator
rei'crating his charges, and the people Of Ken
lucky are brcaihlessly awaiting the Governors
rejoiudor But notwithstanding this battle Of the
giants the world moves on.

Democrat Thinks Grant il sure TO be
RenOminntcd.


Nothing is more certain in the political future
think. than Grants denomination by the Rennb
lcan party In 1872. His only possible rival was
buried IN Troy, ~ Y, last tnday-the noblest Ro.
man or them all-the hero Of Clirkamauga, Grant
was al the funeral; so was Sherman-with crane on
their arms, but not In their hearts. And as I
heard OF their going, | couldn't help thinking
to me when | asked him why he had M.
tended the funeral Of Federal General Ger
ninly, said he, "Ill 90 TO any Yankee Generals
funeral with the greatest pleasure" Grant nnl
sherman had done their little REST to break the Old
hero down, but he triumphod In spite OF them At
the time OF his death he was increasing in poru-
larly every day as the Republican candidate for
1879. True, you couldn't point To a single Pct as cN
prossiyc Of his In favor Of radicalism or It's leaders
blu, the same could be said Of Grant In 1853
With Thomas under the sod, Grant has no rival
that know OF Tor The succession, If tho Republican
party Is to retain suprcmacy. The Republican lead.
ors don like him, yet they have educated them
selves up-or down-to habit Of syco-
phancv and disgusting adullton which has no
parallel cNccut in that Of the French Legislature
shall not be surprised TO hear It said OF Grant in the
Senate Of America ms was said OF Napoleon in tho
Senate Of France in 1917, that "the conception which
bic mother received In her bosom could only have
flowed from Divine inspiration" There are men
ready 10 say this today but for the fear OF inrur
yet IN their hearts they know the adminlstra.

Judge Hackctt and the Mcfarland Case.


We think the opinion is all but unanimous
that Recorder HAcKErr presdcs over the
Observation-Disclosures trial with dignity
ability, and impartiality. He has made two
important rulings in the cas- which have ex-
cited a good deal of comment among the
members Of the legal profession, as well as
in other circles.
The first Of the rulings to which we refer
was the exclusion of ,he testimony offered by
the defence in regard to certain transactions,
such as RICHARDSON'S dictat,cn of memo.

transactions were of slch nature that they
