SAN DOMINGO IN THE SKNArK.-In the Senate
this afternoon, Mr.. Morton's San Domingo res.
olution was taken up by vote OF 80 yeas to 10
nays. The opponents to the measure, under
the leadership of Mr.. Sumner, will make a
strenuous effort to defeat it. The indications
are, however, that the resolution has strength
enough in the Senate to win.

transaction, and we believe be could have
been. But admitting that it was impossible
TO hold him legally responsible, he certainly
proved himself to be oonsummate scoundrel,
and the officers of the United States Court, if
they are virtuous themselves, ought to have
been glad of an opportunity to give him his
deserts. The proofs against him in the case
for which he was placed on trial last week are
said to have been most conclusive, and the
question now is who is responsible for the
flaw in the indictment, or was there really any
flaw? Judge Cadwalader has given some very
queer decisions since he has been on the
bench of the United States District Court,
and it is impossible not to entertain the sup
position that the ''faw" might possibly have
been in his imagination. Admitting that the
document was defective, however, which of
the two District Attorneys, Smith or valen-
tine was it that drew it up2 We do not wish
to charge either of these two gentlemen or
the Judge with intentional wrong doing, but
there is certainly something here that needs
an investigation, for it is no slight outrage
for court to turn such o scamp as Weight
man loose upon the community when it has
ample evidence before it to send him to the
Penitentiary.

TIRE WAR NE VT9.

1HH prospects of successful resistance by
the French to their invaders grow ''small by
degrees and beautifully less" Every day
brings into bolder relief the military and po-
Iitical weakness of the empire. OF all the
blunders recorded in history there is nothing
equal to the folly displayed by Napoleon in
provoking the present war; and when the bit
ter consciousness of this fact is brought home
to every citizen of France, as it soon will be,
the prolongation of his rule will become inn
possible.
The most significant items Of intelligence
printed during the last few days are those
which indicate the growing strength of the
opinion that Paris will not only be besieged,
but that il must soon cease to be the capital
propositions to remove the seat of govern
ment to a safer locality having already been
freely discussed.
In this country such an experiment might
be made without destroying public oonf-
dence. The British compelled the Cont
mental Congress to adjourn from Philadelphia
to Lancaster during the Revolutionary war,
and they destroyed the public buildings at
Washington during the war of 1912 without
compelling the American people to sue for
peace. But Paris holds a widely different
relation 10 France. Authority has been cen
tralized in that city for so many centuries
that its fall will imply the virtual destruction
of any Government that proves unable to
defend it. If the Emperor aban-
dons it to its fate, and attempts
to issue Imperial edicts from some
obscure fortified town, he cannot hope to
secure unouestioned obedience, and the dis
position will be stronger than ever to estab-
lish rival authority in the old citadel, even
if it has to be defended in part by Prussian
bayonets. The plan to perpetuate the con-
test, under the present regime after the
capital is invested, is as cowardly as it is
cruel, and if it is attempted it will only make
Napoleon sink lower than ever in the estima-
ton Of his subjects and the civilized world.
without serving his desperate purpose.
If he, or parties representing
him, cannot respond to Prussian summons
to surrender Paris, either by driving off the
invaders or by making peace, he has no right
to drag on hopeless fight until the whole
land is devastated. The Emperor committed
q fearful blunder when he sta1ed the safety
of France on the superiority of his regular
army, and he will make this error more
grievous than ever, instead of repairing it, if
he undertakes to provoke continued carnage
and devastation until he can convert raw
levies into soldiers endowed with the courage
and steadiness of veteran troops.

THE "BOODLE' GAME.

On Monday last there was very curious per-
formance in the United States District Court,
before Judge Cadwalader, that involves
something more than suspicion that some
body connected with the court has been play
ing the ''boodle" game with justice. Andrew
j. Weightman, who is known as the "Boodle
King" on account of his brilliant success in
selling, to unsuspecting innocents, packages
of worthless blank paper, under the pretence
that they contained frst-class limitations
of United States greenbacks, was ar
rested last spring, and an indict-
ment was found against him for
counterfeiting. 1t appears that he found it
just as easy and great deal cheaper to play
the 'boodle" game with money of his own
manufacture as to use that issued by the
Government, and at the time of his arrest he
had upon his person counterfeits representing
$2O, 900. After delay of several months his
case was called up, and the United States Dis
trict Attorney opened the prosecution by
stating what he expected to prove against
Weightman. In the meantime Judge Cadwala-
der occupiedhimself with studying the wording
of the indictment, and when the District
Attorney took his seat he astonished every
one by declaring that the indictment was de-
fectiye, and that trial was consequently
useless, because if conviction was obtained
it could not be sustained. The District At
torney accordingly abandoned the case, and
in accordance with the instructions of the
Judge the jury rendered a verdict of not
guilty.
This man Weightman is one of the most
contemplate as we'll as one of the most dan
gerous of the gang of eounterfeiters and
sharpers who are engaged in the ''boodle"
business, and it is great scandal upon the
United States District Court that he should
have been permitted to escape in the way he
did. When acting as a Government detec-
tive, Weightman threw temptation after
temptation into the way of an engraver who
had hitherto borne an irreproachable charae-
ter, and never rested until he had per-
suaded him to engrave some counterfeit
beer stamps. Having once secured his vic
tim, he then proceeded to demonstrate his zeal
for the cause of justice by denouncing him,
and the result was that the engraver was sent
to the Penitentiary, while his tempter was per-
mitted to run at large unwhipped of justice.
Weightman ought to have been punished for
! tie part he acted IN ths aDvSs ,l4sAtl0 0lsd

SATURDAY EVENING, IAy Il
The most prominent feature IN general
finances during the week has been tho contin-
ued tendency of money TO accumulate IN the
cities, md particularly in New York. In all
uatts Of the country exchange Is in faro5 ct
New York. In New Orleans and in Memphis,
Notwithstanding their liberal ahipments Of cot
ton, New York funds are worth ! hah OF one
liberal shipments Of cattle and grim, exchange
has, contrary to the usual experience Of this
sesspu Of the year, commanded pro-
MUM OF 50c per $1,000 e5er since
tho opening Of navigation. These facts indi-
cate an unusual concentration q money IN
New YORK, and ehoE the possibility that the
speculative rtse in the prices Of stocks, gold.
bonds, grain, tc., has not get reached ha cul-
nination. In al the other money centres it
is the same as It is here. The country hanks
hare no use for currency, 81 the crops are not
moving, and their funds ire consequently piled
