GARiBALDi IN FRANCE. -Grarlbaldi has done
some good service to his native country. He,
more than any single individual, Mazzini not
excepted, has made Italy u unit. At Aspro-
monte, however, he was taught that it was
possible for man to attempt too much. If
Garibaldi, cripple feeble old man, were less
vain than he is, he would not have flung away
the honors he has nobly and honorably won.
His appearance at the present juncture in
France would be highly reprehensible il 1t
were not simply ridiculous If he falls into
King Williams hands he will not find him so
gentle or 80 generous as Victor Emanuel.

The National CONNIE ciaI Convention.

The unanimity with which the members Of
the Southern Commercial Convention agreed
TO change its name to the National Commercial
Convention is an encouraging sign of the
times. 1t was well that the suggestion should
come from the South, and Mr. Macode, Of
Arkansas was right in declaring 1t eminently
proper, iuasmuch as the Convention had
assumed a national character, to drop the old
sectional and Objectionable name Some reso-
lutons offered at the Convention indicate
certain confusion OF ideas as to the limits Of the
aid that can be legitimaiely extended by tho
federal government to State and individual
enterprises. For many obvious reasons it is
right enough to ask the general government to
help the project of establishing permanent
levees on the Mississippi river. That project
is one Of national importance. But the propo-
sition to memoriallze Congress In regard to
the James River and Kanawha Canal survey,
with a view of furnishing canal one hundred
feet wide, eight feet deep aud carrying boats
Of five hundred TONS overlooks the fact that,
beneficial as the completion of such a canal
would be to Virginia and to the stockholders of
the canal company, this undertaking is one of
those internal improvements which govern
ment should leave to States and individuals
The next yearly meeting of the Convention
will be held at Baltimore.

THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION AND rHk
FInNCH GuNBoATs. The opinion that the
Presidents recent neutrality proclamation was
brought about by the reported action of the
French gunbosts in this harbor ia denied by
dispatches from Washington. The prociama-
ton vas, no doubt, issued upon those broad
principles OF international law which it
becomes necessary to observe. Such vagares
as the gunboat I.atouche Treville may have
indulged in do not appear to have been doue
by the authority OF the French Admiral
Lelevre, who commands the chief division of
the Antilles aud North America. On the con-
trary that high official il said to haze disconn-
tenanced anything like blockade In our
harbors. His orders TO the French g,,aboats
were simply to convoy the French transporta-
ton line OF vessels To convenient distance at
sea, but they were mol instructed to interfere
with the steamers OF the German lines or any
other ships leaving the port of New York.
Probably these French vessels obeyed orders
aud there was as much romance as reality
in the stories about chasing the German
steamers.

Deaf. Of superintendent Jourdno.

The demise Of this efficient officer will
doubtless be severely felt in the Police Depart
ment Although his term of service in his re-
cent high capacity was comparatively short
he was part Of tho effective service oil our
police system for many years, and was, in
fact, In the development Of his own Skill
tivity aud devotion to duty, the embodi-
ment of the system itself, especially in its de-
teciive branch Since his appointment as
Police Superintendent he manifested an extra
ordinary resolution Ia the performance of his
exacting obligations, and, indeed, even in the
face oil sickness and death was true to all
which his position demanded of him.
X is questionable, however, whether an
official raised from the RACKS OF the force
makes the best Superintendent. JeaIonscs and
difficulties are said to have bcset the path of
Captain Jourdan. Perhaps il would be better
70 select a man for this position whose ante
cedenfs might guarantee that there were no
prejudices to warp the judgment--no friends
TO reward or enemies To punish The Com
missioners will probably not disregard this sug
gesiion in filling the place of the late honest
and efficient Superintendent

THE BoDINE MURDER TRIAI.-There is a
murder trial now going on in Ulster county
which presents a new feature in law cases. A
deaf and dumb negro named Bodine killed Mr.
Hasbrouck in February Last. The circum
stances are yet familiar to our readers, and
were peculiarly horrible. But his counsel in
court yesterday entered the plea that
the prisoner, being an unedncated deaf
mute. he the counsel. cannot communi-
cate with him, and cannot give bin clear
idea Of his right to challenge jurors TO be
sworn in his own behalf or convey to his mind
any idea of the different degrees Of homicide.
The counsel therefore makes the argument
that. under the law he ough, not to be tried,
because he is not competent to understand the
details of the case nor prepare proper defence.
A jury was Immediately empanelled to take
evidence as to the condition OF the prisoners
mind. The testimony indicated that the negro
could express his wishes by pantomime very
intellipibly, aud that he was naturally very
malicious and cruel. The trial was post
poned. but the prisoner will probably be sent
back to the asylum another instance OF out
rageous lack OF equity, justice or safety in the
law, so long as its quibbies are as potent as
ts maxims.

citizens against entry thieves. 4 little care
in locking the doors at nightfall may save
valuable garments usually left hanging in the
entry-way. On Tuesday evening some per-
son entered the front entry of boarding
house in this city, and stole two valuable
overcoats. The thief has not yet been dis

apace, and as this is an eaiser way of obtain
ing clothing than by patronizing the regular
dealers, it stands one in hand to keep a sharp
lookout for his overcoat.

The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coun-

far less cost with the additional advantages that 1t
is portable, and can be moved to the bedside in the

1t promises more in immunity from offensive
odors from infection in disease, and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
