The MANAGEMENT Of the French mitrail-
Ieuses in the late conflicts seems to have been
mighty loose, rs several of them were captured
by the Prussians. An exchange thinks that
emong the slain in the recent battles should be
numbered the fear of this once dreaded instru-
ment Of warfare. 1t should also be numbered
among the humbugs OF the age. What sort Of
a concern is this so-cailed American, mitrail-
leuse? Is it intended to humbug our people
in case we have brush with a foreign foe
The Ordnance Bureau should look into the
subject.

TIE FENIANs IN MOTION. 1t appears that
the war in Europe has inspired the Fenians
of this city with renewed zeal and activity in
the cause of Ireland's liberation, and that they
are holding more than their usual weekly
number Of meetings for purposes of military
organization. Holding fast to the idea that
''England's difficulty will be relands oppor-
tunity," they are expecting that English
neutrality will come to an end as this war
goes on, and that in this event there will be
fine opportunity for waking up the Canadians
once more, by way Of flank movement
upon Ireland. We are sorry for the poor
Canadians, for it may be that their period of
rest from the Fenians will be short.

THE FIRST DECISIVE RESULT OF THE WAR
The complete evacuation of Rome by the
French troops, after protective occupation Of
the Holy City against the reds for over seven
teen years. Considering, too, how obnoxious
this occupation of Rome has been to the French
republicans and to the Italians, and consider
Ing the fact that this evacuation means the
delivery of Rome to Italy and the abandonment
Of the Holy Father to his own resources
The event is of the highest Importance
not only in relation to Rome Italy, the Pope
and Mother Church, but in reference to the
general reconstruction Of the map of Europe
at the end Of this gigantic war. As to the
dogma Of Papal infallibility, we see already
that, touching the political destiny even Of the
States of the Church, it is nothing more than
''the Popes bull against the comet, and that
the Ecumenical Council, to the outside world,
is already among the things of the past.

The Nathan Investigation.

II only remains now for the Coroner's fury
to render verdict in the Nathan murder case
Of death by violence at the hands of some
person or persons unknown. There seems to
be no remaining person of all those in the
house to suspect. William Kelly, who is
undoubtedly the most suspicious character
known to be connected with the case SO far,
stood cross-examination yesterday which
disclosed the facts that he was great lubberly
lout, who has been living off his mother for
four or five years had enlisted under false
name in Massachusetts,, when he might as well
have enlisted in New York, except, perhaps,
that the bounty was less; is atpresent drawing
pension of eight dollars a mouth under his
false name, and is rather uncertain kind Of
character generally. The cross examination
naturally made him nervous and contradic
tory, and at some points even drove him to
dispntatiousness. In fact it was sharp and
rigid enough to disconcert a cooler and
shrewder witness than Kelly, for the cross
examiner of the occasion seemed more inclined
to trip him into some contradiction or to
tangle him up in the threads of his story
than to extract plain, nnvarnished story
from him. But although all this was done
and it was clearly shown that William Kelly
was rather worthless, and was disposed to
lead the life Of hummer, perhaps on occa-
sions being unconscientious enough to ''beat"
countryman, or to impose on his mother, or
to keep the change when he went on errands,
1t was by no means clearly shown that William
Kelly could ever have planned contrived or
carried out the murder of Mr.. Nathan Much
yet remains behind, .however. There is no
certainty what evidence day may bring
forth, and such rigid, persistent questioning as
was instituted yesterday may possibly dis
close something of great importance to-day.

ATTORNEY GENERAL AKERMAN has deliv-
cred what is not exactly decision in the
Georgia case, but foreshadowing of what his
decision, when be gives it, may be. We
heartily wish that it was formal decision.
1t deals 80 directly with the subject, avoids
such deluge Of technical and incomprehens-
BILE law terms, and takes so unhesitatingly the
equitable rather than the narrow and cramped
literal side Of the question, that it is almost
relief to read it after going through some of
the precise and martinetish rulings of Attor-
ney General Hoar. Mr.. Akerman holds that
the present constitution Of the State is the
legal one, and that it provides for the cleo
tion of one-half the Legislature during the
present year and therefore such election must
be held.

Our Special Correspondence from the Seat
Of War.

Our Special Correspondence from the Sent
Of War.
The special war letters from Europe which
appear in our columns to-day are of unusual
interest and Importance. The commune
cations completely sustain the reputation
of our enterprise, in first reporting
the initiation and progress of the grand
military and constitutional struggle which is
being waged between France on tho one side
and Prussia on the other. The narrative
comes in continued and connected sequence
of the letter from our special writer
in Paris, which was published in
the HERALD on the ed of July,
in which we intimated to the American public
the facts of Prim's offer of the Spanish crown
to the Prince of Hohenzollern, emitting it
''squally for war;" Of our special letter from
Paris headed son the eve of war;"
and of succeeding letters from Madrid,
Berlin and Paris, wherein were re-
ported the sounding of the war tocsin, the
tanning of the flame, ''the marshalling in arms
and battles magniflcently stern array"
day the vast military consolidation of
France at Metz and Nancy, and the
general military expansion and esprit
of Prussia. The fortress of Metz is
gigantic combination, the result of engineer
ing skill and military foresight. The power of
Prussia is an undying sentiment of the heart
for freedom, citizen right and Fatherland.
This living, sentient principle is met by
stone walls, cannon and grapeshot, but
by these only, so that it is quite
easy to see which will prevail in
the end. The one being " of earth and earthly"
is certainly likely to crumble; the other being
indesructible is eternal This view of the
situation is made apparent by the very Ian
guage and tone of our special writers at the
front. France is painted in grim, powerful
isolation, while we almost behold, in our
Frankfort letter, Germany ''marching along"
musical for the fray, self-reiant, independent
and in order.
