NEW YORK IN A BROWNE STUDY-The New
York papers are still inconsolable over their
DOGGY statue OF Lincoln. The Times de-
nounces the outrage upon Mr.. Lincoln who
ought to have been held sacred from the carica-
turist, but is now made to turn a deformed hack
upon a sympsthIzing public, and a dolelu face
toward a candy-sto while his abominable
trowsers are spreading toward all points of the
compass. The World excitedly demands that
the abortion shall be suppressed by brick bats,
demolition, decAsdnce, abdicati0n, yelling, or
sny other mode of relief $50 that stage horses
may not shy, and the Muses. Of the Academy

And il turns out that this morstrosity in
bronze Is the work of Browne-the great Browne,
who has been heralded as the coming sculptor
who was to supplant all the effete botches In
the chiseling line-the Powers, Crawford 's
Greenough's and Mills. New Workers have put
on a good many airs about Browne. They make
depreeatory remarks about our great national
works of art. They say, All, now, if Browne
had been the mani" "Wait until Browne takes
his place in American art-then, &C." Well,
Browne has taken his place. He has done New
York brown enough. New Work won't say Browne

OF the old favorites.

The Fighting AT Paris.

Msklhg aiO"ahce ior considerable eNagyera-
ton in the reported French successes outside Of
the walls OF Paris, there seems no reason to
cooot Tat what hghtlng has occurred there
WITHIN the last week has been favo rable to the
French. The great length Of the Prussian lines
encirelng the city Of Paris necessarily attenu
ates It IN strength, aftordipg encouraging oppor-
tunities for sallies from the city. These success
ses Will not Of course cause the Prussians to raise
the siege, and will not materially POSTPONE the
fall Of Paris, but gallant defence of the city
"il undoubtedly attract sympathy for the de-
TENDERS thrOuC bout the world, and will serve to
bring increased pressure of public opinion to
bear upon the invaders to cause them to concede
terms 20 the French not too humiliating for the
self respect OF a gallant and proud people.
According to the dictum of military men,
assuming that the garrison of Paris exclusive
OF the detached forts, reaches a strength OF 2iO-
600 men, the Prussians must have 80 900 soldiers
ready to repel sorties, which, supposing three
reliefs. gives total, in addition TO the working
parties in the trenches, troops on picket and
more on fatigue duty, OF 54) 0GO, exclusive of the
necessary to guard the rear and
cover their Communications with their base.
From the manner in which armies melt away
in the field, even when there is no fighting, "a
shown by our experience in the rebellion, it will
not be an easy matter for the Prussians to keep
up this immense force at this distance from
home for any length of time. This fact will be
another inducement to cause Bismarck to lend
q favorable ear TO peace propositions. The
French seem TO count largely for relief upon
the new army said to be concentrating behind the
Loire. But little, however, is known about this
army, and it does not appear likely that it will
be srIoDg enough to exercise any great influence
upon the fate of Paris.

THE UHITE N4NS FRIEND.

I'm that episode of the prOtracted debate on
the Virginia question in the Senate, which
particularly marked te 18th of January, an
affecting incident occurred well calculated to
revive many faint!ng souls and to encrgHe
many weary minds of the Caucasian persua-
sion. 1t has been a matter of complaint that
during the deliberations of the Senate upon
the Virginia matter, so much should have been
said of sable and so little of liGhter-colored
Americans; and upon the day mentioned, Mr.
Trumbull had expressed mild doubts OF the
true friendship of Mr.. Sumner for Americans
of African descent, or rather of the real value
of that friendship; and Dir. Sumner had, OF
course, responded, most unnecessarily, we
think however briefly. 1t was just at tins
point that the White Man. neglected and
despised and made of little account pushed
aside in the Senate with all his interests and
hopes, his historic dignity, his colorless cuticle,
his straight hair, his fine facial angle, and the
unexccptional curve of his shin bone-it was
Just then that this melancholy member of tho
human family found friend And such u
friend, One who in his own person may be
supposed to represent all the virtues, all the pre-
eminent abilities, all the ethnic superiority, all
the gifts and all the eraces of the Anglo-SaXou
race! Need we Gay that refer to Mr. Sen
ator Salisbury
For long time this eminent White Man had
YEARLY listened to the ncver-ending, still
beginning talk about 4" the Ngge,s," until the
Hon. Willard Salisbury could bear it no
longer. lie rose and, what is more remarka-
BILE, he stood in his place to utter his protest
against this exclusive attention to Ethiopia.
" Gentlemen all talk, he said Indignantly. " Of
" their devotion to the negro; they are always
telling Us how much they are attracted 20
him; the poor white race seems to have no
body to say one word for it," Then, with an
infinite pathOs he added: Nobody seems to
/" care for tie White Man now The words
vent forth like wall. They sighed and
! swcled like the dcath-song of once great
people They seemed like farewell to fast
vanishing greatness, to glories which have
| illustrated the annals of the world, and to a
fecundity which has done 50 much to rcplenish
it. Nobody cares for the White Man now"
That every honorable auditor, upon this
solemn announcement, did not burst into tears !;
that all these white Senators did not join IN a
general dirge and long resounding Groom. proves

The Speech of Mr.. KELLEY of PENNSYLVANIA
last Tuesday in review of Commissioner Weiss
late Report on Taxes, Currency, &c, &C.,
was published in full i'll our last.
We need not ask for it the attention of
our readers for the Importance of the subject
and the well-earned reputation of Mr. Kelley
will command it,
Mr.. Wells begins by pitching Protection over
board, and, while protesting to ignore the issue
between Protection and Free Trade. in fact
assumes the fundamental positions of the Free
Traders as axioms which no one dis
putes. He has thus made up most I'M
fair and injurious exhibit of our Financial and
Industrial status, which the Free-Traders are
pushing into circulation as though Mr.. Wells
were q disinterested umpire instead Of an IN
tense partisan Mr.. Kelley meets him point
by point, and shows wherein and how he has
dealt unfairly and unjustly with the great
interests which lie so bitterly assailS and the
bcnignant policy which he aims TO crush out.
We bespcak the widest possible diffusion OF
Mr.. Kelley's luminous and spirited Speech.

rgr LOGIc or ASSASSINATION.

ROB Roy the Scotch freebooter, having re-
ccivcd some favor from Professor Gregory of
Edinburgh University, offered, in return, to
take the Professors son into the highlands
with him. TO save him from the degrading in
tIucnce of books and schools, and 10 make a
man of him. He was much amazed at the re-
lection of his offer, which Sir Walter Scott calls
d" bringing the highest pitch OF civilization IN
contact with a half-savage state of society,"
Yet this was 10 stranger than TO see amid our
American civilization THAI remnant of a more
than half savage state of society which re-
venges private wrongs by assassination. a
half-doz recent eases will instantly occur to
everyone, where a perverted public sentiment
has attempted to excuse a Jealous husband or
wife for the murder of some third person, per-
haps upon the very slightest grounds of sus-
piciOn.
Great writers on criminal jurisprudence have
always held it of the greatest Importance, not
that crimes should be severely punished, but
that the award of punishment should be Just
and unerIing. Now, is there any uncrrng logic
in a pistol bullet? Can q man train himself in
a shooting gallery to hit the truth! Is murder
your only trustworthy form of judicial inves-
tigation When the truth 80 often eludes the
acuteness Of detectives, the sitting of cross
examinations-nay, as in the case of Byron
agt Byron, the combined curiosity of success
siye generatons-arc we to assume that the
mere report of a loaded revolver can do JUS
~? NO!: it is a wicked mOckey OF justice.
| II is worse than that code of Draco, which has
been the standing horror of all ages. DracO
decrced that the least of crimes, if proven,
merited tho death penalty. But the logic of
! assassination goes further: it scorns proof, and
Furnishes with death even suspected crime.
| Even with all the precautions of law the
innocent sometimes suffer, and this is
| found the most convincing argument against
| even the most deliberate capital punishment.
| But how much greater where the suspected
man dies instantly. and with him, perhaps. the
| very evidence that would have disproved his
| guilt. A murdered man can give no testimony,
| dispel cloud of accidental circumstance,
prove no alibi, bring forward no new fact No
one can usually vindcate mans innocence
| like the man himself; and the murderer scnces
| at u stroke the lips that might in one word
have removed all motive for his crime.
All men feel some sympathy for any one who
| is reused to crave vengeance for a great wrong.
But for one real wrong there are Il myriad
suspected wrongs There are men with whom
tho extremes of jealousy arc SO habtual as to
seem constitutional chronic .0thellos-whose
wrath moves like lightning and strikes with as
