Tho Perry Trial.

Another trial OF the junk pirate Perry,
charged with numbering the watchman Hayes,
has ended in the disagreement Of jury. 1t
seems possible that this man, Of whose guilt
there Is no doubt in the public mind, may
escape through the dif1culty OF fastening
the orime upon him by evidence legally good,
and, perhaps, through some difficulty with
juries. The Judge who sits on this trial has
weakened the case against the prisoner by
ruling that, carried to its evident consequence,
would rule out all dying declarations from
murder trials. It will be remembered that the
wounded man, with the last breath he had,
declared that Perry shot him. He knew Perry
well, and this declaration, taken with the fact
that Perry had threatened him for his vigil
ance in guarding property placed under his
care, made Q strong point. This point the
Court has broken by ruling that the dying de-
elsratiea is not admissible unless the man
knows he Is dying. Now, upon what evidence
must dying man know this fact2 This ques-
ton pushes the inquiry into the realm of meta
physics, and, because court cannot follow it
there, the ruling is bad. The man died, and
therefore the plain fact is that the utterance In
question was his dying declaration, and was
entitled to all the force, therefore, the law will
give it. This Perry case is fair one for the
use Of that good old expedient of justice--a
change of venue. Let it be taken to some
other county-somewhere far out into the
rural districts, where men are, perhaps, not
more honest than they arc here, but whore,
because of thinner population, men are
better known to their neighbors and the
prisoners friends cannot be put in as honest
citizens

Alas, Alaskay

Mr.. Vincent Colyer, who recently re-
turned from Alaska, reports that the soldiers
and the post traders have been roughly
using the native Indians, who generally are
honest, quiet and well disposed towards the
whites. The Indian village at Wrangel was
bombarded by the troops there recently, when
1t would have been feasible enough for the
post commandant to have arrested all tho
Indians in it with squad Of men. The
houses, which were substantial shanties, were
damaged by the bombardment, and the Indians
will probably be afraid to live in them again.
Whom we purchased Alaska the native Indians
had no voice or vote in the movement, and
never had chance to signify their acceptance
or rejection Of the radical change of dynasty
forced upon them. If they had had such
chance they no doubt would gladly have
exchanged the absolute government of the
Gear for the mild and benefcent rule of q
republic like ours, where, after the usual pro-
baton, they might have risen to the dignity of
citizens, like John Cinnamon, and even been
allowed the privilege Of vote, as immigrated
foreigners, and thus be politically superior to
our native Indians ''not taxed" But now, if
Mr.. Colyer's report is authentic, the poor
Alaskans sigh doubtless for the more genial
and generous government Of the "Russian
Bear"

THO Pepo and tho Church In Amorica-
ssInlldel RevoIutIOuIstsv In Oar Midst.

THO Pspe and she Church In America-
ssInndsl RevoIutionist.'' In Oar Midst.
A special news telegram, dated In Rome
yesterday morning, and forwarded through the
Atlantic cable, informs US that his Holiness
Pope Plus the Ninth celebrated his Sabbath
day mass in tho chapel of the American Col
lege in the Holy City. He afterwards break
the institution. A numerous party OF Amerl-
can visitors attended, by special invitation Of
the Prefect, to meet his Holiness. The Pope
addressed the students and their guests, con-
graduating them on the progress which has
been made by the Catholic Church in America,
the work Of the clergy being made easy to q
certain extent as ''the republican people Of the
American Continent were people fond Of the
practice and guide Of virtue" He added that
tho Church was condemned in America only
by 20 class Of infidel revolutionists, who are
just as dangerous to the cause Of law and order
In the United States as they are in Europe"
Our special telegram thus demonstrates to
the faithful that SO far from being dead Pho
Mono ''still lives. and also that his Pontiacal
hopes for great success OF the Church In
America and the ultimate completion Of the
new Cathedral in New York remain fervent
and unabated. The institution Of the Ameri-
can College in Rome, it's prefecture and man
agement, with the large attendance Of native
born students within its walls, afford, no
doubt very substantial pledges in this direc-
ton. They are. indeed, accepted In this
light by the Head Of the Church, as is evil
denced by the many valuable compliments
which he has already rendered to tho Ameri-
can ecclesiastical community in Rome.
His Holiness affords us considerable conso-
latiQn BY the assurance that generally as a
whole the American people are full Of intelli-
gence, fond of the practice Of virtue, and good,
stanch democratic republicans. This PontiHoal
certificate removes US to . pretty safe distance
from the debris and ashes of Sodom and
Gomorrah for while It Is to be hoped that
our people win make good use Of the tempo
rary opportunity and endeavor to got COM
pletely clear Of the binding, burning drift. OF
these dangerous infdel revolutionists' who
condemn the Church in America, we perfectly
agree with the Pope, that If they be ''inhdel
revolutionists" they are Q pretty ''hard set"
and ''bad cases" to manage. We have only
to regret that the Holy Father did not indicate
the class little more pointedly, so that the
God fearing people in our midst would be
enabled to give them ''wide berth" in every
day politics. Where do the infidel revolution
lists come from? No person can suspect Ire
land, Italy or Spain. The chaps themselves
will find out all about it when the Cathedral
is completed.

THE CHrvALRY REvIvING.-It must be
encouraging for the fossil politicians of the
South, who used to rule the country, partly by
statecraft and partly by Gaming or pistolling
their partisan opponents, to read Of the fiery
debate among democrats on reputation in the
House on Saturday, and Of the duello revivals
between two prominent men in California and
between two Cuban editors in Florida. The
question Of belligerent rights is brought up in
the same connection, and our unwise diplo-
macy in that matter has little exemplifca-
tion. In the California duel there seems to
have been perfect acquiescence on the part
Of the authorities Of the State. although

QUARANTINE ABUsEs.-In another column
we give place to communication that runs
over some of the more fragrant abuses Of the
Ssgime of Swinburne. Our correspondent
calls for the removal of all subordinates of the
late officer as . prime requisite for proper
change; but this is point that may safely be
left to the discretion Of the new incumbent.
Such abuses as the smuggling, tagging and
transportation of passengers, in the interest OF
which trade oil the great interests Of commerce
and Of quarantine itself were before set aside,
can only live by encouragement and inspira-
ton from headquarters, and change there
must end them.

THE DILEMMA OF RECONSTRUCTION South
ern States were required to ratify the fifteenth
amendment as q condition of restoration to the
Union. AS they could not be trusted to come
in and then ratfy it, they ratified first and
then came in. They were, therefore, not in the
Union when they acted on the constitution, or
else they were never out Of the Union. Either,
then, all the reconstruction laws Of Congress
are invalid, or these Southern ratiAcations Of
the fifteenth amendment are invalid. If the
States were in the Union there was no need
to admit them, and if they were not in the
Union they could not participate in making
law for States that are in,

THE BATTLE OF GUAIMARo. The Spanish
Consul denies, as he claims Officially" the
purport of our special despatch from Havana
published in our columns yesterday, giving an
account Of the defeat Of the Spanish troops
under General Pueblo at Guaimaro by the
insurgents under General Jordan. The Consul
has not mentioned any grounds nor shown any
dispatches on which he could base his ''offi-

Of yesterday from Cuba, which are under
strict censorship, have not seen at to deny the
report (Which must have been photographed to

tion of the word of our correspondent, espe-
cially as the Spanish reports sent previously,

and all the various lines that run to different
points on the North river during the season Of

AS the question Of warehouses is opened in
regard to the change. it should be said that
there is just as good accommodation Of that
sort on the east as on the west side, while on
the east side tho boats will be nearer to the
greatest warehouses Of the port-those at At
lantic dock. We think 1t possible, however,
that the change may be compromised little
on the limit given. The southern limit may
as safely be made at Catharine street as at
Corlears Hook, for between those points
there is only one ferry, and that with traffic
so small that its boats run OF intervals OF half
an hour.

Tho Exiled Haytiea Minister.

The uncertainty Of political honors and
emoluments in Hayti has been strikingly illus
trated in the case Of General Tate, the Ambas-
sador from Salnave's government to Washing
ton. Last week the General and his wife, of
African descent, were invited to the diplo-
matte dinner of the President, to come of on
Wednesday next; but after receiving the invi-
tation the unwelcome news came to General
Tate that his chief (Salnave) had been shot as
traitor and that he (Yate) is banished as an
adherent of Salnave; and so General Grants
courteous invitation has been declined. The
foreign Minister Of yesterday is to-day an
exile, and, unless we'll provided with funds,
he will soon have to be casting about for
employment. Nor is it likely that he is
flush Of money, when in salnave's govern
ment paper, for the last year or more, three
or four thousand dollars have been required
to buy dollar in gold. As this General
Tate, however, has shown himself to be q
man Of fine accomplishments, he will doubt
less be able to find some way back into Hayti,
in view of new departure for political pro-
motion, or something to do in Washington as
one of the leading minds Of his race.

Progress Among tho woman's Fighters.
Miss Susan B. Anthony, as the leader of the
Womans rights women, has been too much in
the habit Of keeping her temper. There is
nothing that tells so well for the clearness Of
an argument as to get q little vexed at the stu
pidity Of those who cannot understand it. That
is the one point that Miss Susan lacks as q
debater. She recently lost fine chance on
Senator Sherman by this lack. During the
Woman's Suffrage Convention in Washington
she called Senator Sherman, who had been
listening to her brilliant logic In the audito-
rum, to come on the platform and state
whether he was in favor of giving the suffrage
quently would have been lost If Susan had
pressed her point by getting mad. He had
heard her arguments and those Of other emil
nent champions, and he had no right to remain
unconvinced. Miss Susan had the temper in
her at the moment, but when he hesitated and
o little storm Of invective, or Of tears, or of
sarcasm would have caused him to commit
himself irrevocably on her side, she tempo
rized with her idea Of policy and told him not
to answer. And he did not answer, except by
leaving the platform, thanking his lucky stars,
no doubt, that Susan had kept her temper.
The Woman's Fighters in California have pro-
gressed far ahead Of Susan. They have ar
rived at the point Of getting mad, and even
feeling insulted at the stupidity Of the Regents
Of the University Of California in debarring
women from admission. Getting mad is
long step ahead Of Miss Susan, and feeling
insulted is a very climax to all the brilliant
arguments that have been aimed for SO long a
time at the stupidity Of men.
