The Nathan murder is still profound mystery;

John Real, the murderer of the policeman
Smedick, was hung last Friday. in spite of the
persistent and strenuous efforts of sympathizers

This is noteworthy, for in New York, under the

safer to commit murder than petty larceny.
On Monday last, took place the annual regatta

centered in this particular trial of seamanship

English yacht Cambria was to take part in this

silver ware, won by the yacht America, on the
occasion Of the annual regatta of the Royal

NEw FISH DEsrRoYER.-For years past the FISH
about the shores Of Lake Ontario have
ticed often that fish apparently in health to the
surface Of the water, aoated about in helpless
dition for a few hours and then died. This has been
particularly noticed among the herring, handsome
silver colored fish taken in The true cause Of
this mortality has not been known, at least has
not been publicly announced to our knowledgs. The
fishermen have charged it to leeehes other para
sites fastening themselves upon the scales Of the ash
and sucking the life blood.
A day or two since, Seth Green, the noted piss-
culturist. gathered dying herring floating
upon Irondequoit Bay and made careful sxamina-
tion. He found fastened near the gins 3 worm
which had eaten into the yitas and was drawing the
blood from the heart Of the fish. Under the nicro-

of its contemporaries. We are not aware that
any of them has had reason to complain either
of the spirit or the terms in which this duty
has been performed None of them can truly
say that we have chosen to degrade such con-
troversy from discussion of principles into
an exchange of personalities. No journalist
can truthfully say that we have dragged him
before the public unless in palpable self-de-
fense. No decent journal can truly allege
that we have levelled against it such charge
as the Times with other such) has hurled
against us. And while we hope ever to meet
argument with argument, fact with fact,
courtesy with courtesy, we propose hereafter,
as heretofore, so to deal with slanderers and
traducers as to expose them to the loathing
they merit.

ABsENTEEIsM IN CONGRESS.

From the Harrisburg Patriot.
On the most important debates it is be-
coming frequently impossible to obtain a
quorum in Congress, unless the Sergeant-at-
Arms arrest q sufficient number of delinquent
members. A few days ago, when the tariff
was under consideration, that official was
compelled to make numerous arrests to secure
attendance, and the remainder of the session
was consumed in receiving excuses and in
imposing ten dollar fines on the absentees.
The people are growing disgusted with this
triting with the most important public con-
Germs, and will hereafter be apt to seek repre-
sentatives in such persons as are willing to
sacrifice their private affairs for their public
duties.
Pending the Georgia bill, Ben Butler has
gone off to Massachusetts, to be absent until
the 9TH of May. Before starting he obtained
a written promise from his colleagues on the
Committee on Reconstruction that the ques-
ton should not be brought before the House
until his return. Thus is the most important
public business, the admission of State to
representation in Congress, delayed for weeks
to accommodate an absentee member. But
why should Farnsworth and Payne and other
members of the committee enter into such an
agreement? Cannot the business OF Con-
gress proceed in the absence of the hero OF
Dutch Gap? The iRsolence of the man is
shown in this. He constantly chooses occa-
sions for dramatic display, and with his reap
pearance on the floor of Congress will bring
forward the Georgia bill, which the public
must know was postponed merely for his per-
sonal convenience. He would have the ma
tion understand that legislation in Congress
must be suspended during his absence at
Lowell.
There are very many absentees besides

JOURNALISTIC COURTESY.
From the N. Y. Tribune.


A man is on trial for his life in our city,
and no considerate person will say anything
calculated to prejudice his case. He is entitled
to fair impartial hearing and righteous
verdict, utterly unaffected by newspaper COM
ment or popular passion. And even the con-
duct of his counsel, in SO far as it mainly
affects their client, is to be judged leniently,
with very considerable allowance for the
exigencies of their position.
But the victim of the homicide in question
was connected with the Tribune, and had
repeatedly been its valued correspondent
Though he had written little for our columns
since he was captured by the Rebels at Vicks-
burg seven years ago, he was still identified
with our journal, and might have been re-
called into its service at some future day but
for his taking off.
With regard to this trial we have never had
but one wish-that the whole truth should be
developed. Whatever that truth may be, we
ask that it be now set forth. Our knowledge
of the deceased makes us slow to believe that
he ever acted the base part which has been
attributed to him; but, when all the facts
shall have been elected our Judgment will
be conformed to their dictates. For the pre-.
sent, we rest in strong conviction that the
whole truth has not yet been made known.
The public is fully aware that this case has
been made the foundation of a systematic
concerted attack on the ITi6une-that the
strong interest taken in it by many is mainly
impelled by their hope that it may be welded
to our injury. We speak of facts of the
widest notoriety-facts which are part OF
the public annals of the day. Some of tn,
attacks upon us take the form of innuendC
and sly suggestion; others are gross anC
scandalous: but we do not care to give i'm
portance to our distant traducers when, jus
opposite our door, journal is found reckless
and shameless enough to assert that

NAPoLEoNs APPEAL TO FRANCE.

FTOHI tHe N' 4. JOuTHut OF commerce..
Napoleon's address to the French people,
submitting the pIebiScite to their vote, is
frank, bold, and confident Men may criti-
else the Emperor as they will, but they can
not deny that, in his recent liberal policy and
in the issuing of this appeal to the nation,
he has shown wisdom, candor, and strength.
Notwithstanding all the strong points that
have been made by his domestic and foreign
censors against him, we have seen vast ma
jority of Frenchmen giving him their
heartiest support and aid for the eventful
period.of eighteen years comprised in the his
tory of the second empire. We are right in
taking for granted that his rule is, on the
whole, we'll suited to the temper and tastes of
the French people; and, as they are the best
judges of what they want, it seems imperti-
nent for English and American writers to be
continually abusing them for not dethroning
their Emperor and establishing an Orleans
monarchy or republic. The vote to be
taken on the 9TH of May-should it be
as decidedly as the votes of former years in
favor of the Napoleonic regime-ought to stop
the stream of partial and censorious criticism
which has been so long directed against the
Emperor and his dynasty. A ratification of
his past course, pledge of continued conf
dence and vow of fidelity to his son, when
he in turn becomes Emperor, are among the
issues directly or indirectly at stake in the
vote upon the pIe5SScite. Did Napoleon
not feel perfectly secure in asking the nation
to indorse thus fully himself and his dynasty,
he would not have risked his all upon the ex-
pertinent. 1t will, therefore, be great sur
prise to us if the nation, by vote hardly less
significant than that cast on former occasions,
does not reply Eyes" to his manly appeal. 1t
is said that the Legitimists will vote ''no, u
and that the radical republicans of the Hugo
and Blanc school and members of the secret
trade societies will do likewise, or abstain
from appearing at the polls; but all these
disaffeoted parties will probably
make but small show COM
pared to the other side. The Imperial
Government promises that the people shall
enjoy the broadcast latitude of discussion and
action preparatory to the election, consistent
with law ana order; and there is nothing to
rouse suspicion that the election will not
be as fairly conducted (and that is not saving
too mueh) as elections now are in the United
StRles. 1t is not for Tie p.Hple Of this Re

THE EXPLORATION OF THE ISTHMUs
OF DARIEN.

From the NJ Y. Herald
Our latest intelligence from the exploring
expedition on the Isthmus of Darien is not
satisfactory. 1t has been definitely ascer-
tanned that there is no practical route for q
ship canal directly across the isthmus from
Caledonia Bay to the Gulf of San Miguel
We do not, however, attach much value to
this information, because previous explora-
tions had demonstrated the impracticability
of direct route. But we must confess to
some disappointment in the statement that
the exploration of the Sassardi river is
likely to result in the decision that there is
no possible way by which a ship canal can be
cut across the Isthmus of Darien, or, rather,
from some point in Caledonia Bay to the Sa-
vana river. Thus far the explorations seem
to have been carried on principally in south
eastern direction from Caledonia harbor or Port
Escosses, towards the river Chucunaque; but
it does not appear as if the range of noun
tains, of which the Iona DsSeada is the
junction, has yet been thoroughly examined.
The expedition by way of the Sassardi river
is that on which we now place most depend
ence. Up to the time that the letter of our
special correspondent left Caledonia Bay the
reports from the party en- this line were COM
paratively favorable; at the same time it was
hardly known whether the explorers had en-
countered the most formidable obstacles.
Should this route prove impracticable, that
from the Gulf of San Bias to the mouth of
the river Bsyamo, which empties in the Gulf
of Panama, will be next explored, with, we
trust, better success than the expedition has
met in Caledonia harbor
While Commander Selfridge is pushing his
explorations the Colombian Senate is making
itself ridiculous over the pending treaty be-
tween our Government and Colombia. The
principal fault in the Senators seems to be
that which was said to apply to the Dutch
namely, ''giving too little and asking too
much" Certainly the terms of the treaty are
as liberal as the Colombians ought to expect,
and any demand for larger sum of money
than that agreed upon in the treaty, or for
further guarantees, will most assuredly be
rejected by the United States. We have
offered to sustain the entire expense of con-
structing the ship canal, and have gone as
far as we possibly can towards making the
treaty more advantageous to Colombia than
| to ourselves.

public, after the experiences that they have
had of governmental chicanery and inter
ference on election days, to make unfriendly
comments on the instrumentalities, the pre-
fects and others, that Napoleon has at his
command to influence q favorable result.
Judging from his own statements and those
of his ministers and all his newspaper organs,
we conclude that he wishes the fullest and
freest expression of popular opinion; that
he desires to get q genuine and trust
worthy verdict of his subjects upon the
real merits of the questions; that he
is sincerely anxious to know precisely what
Frenchmen think of him and his past and
prospective course, and how they feel about
the succession of the crown to his son. Only
an honest election can give him this invalua-
BILE information, and demonstrate how far
Frenchmen can be trusted TO continue his
dynasty after his death. It is also highly i'm
portant for him to know the entire strength
of the opposition, whatever it may be. In
order to arrive at this useful knowledge, a
truly free election is indispensable. All con-
siderations thus inducing him not to make
this election q cut-and- dried scheme and q
farce, and he trusting most implicitly in the
kindly disposition of the French people, there
is every reason to believe that the election
will be a square and honest one. The ap-
proval of the pLe6iScjtG by the old Napoleonic
majorities, under these circumstances, will
be the strongest pledge of security and peace
that could be given to imperial France under
the present Napoleon and his heir.
