the Recorder should not have had an ample
opportunity to study his countenance and
general appearance. Recorder Givin, how
ever, is not able to swear positively that
Cropley is the individual who offered himself
as Lyons bail, under the name of John
Schenkel, and his evidence was the least
valuable of any that was offered at either of
hearings before the Alderman on Monday
and yesterday. One word from the Recorder
ought to decide Cropley's fate without further
question, and that word he alleges that heis
unable to speak, and the whole case now re-
lies upon indirect and circumstantial 'evi-
dence, when there should not be even loop
hole for escape, provided the man is really
guilty.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-09-14
THE STRA W BAIL CASE.

YESTERDAY John S. Cropley had further
hearing on the charge of perjury in PERSONAL
ing John Schenkel and procuring the release
of Lyons, alias Landman, by offering himself
as bail before Recorder Givin. The evil
dence produced against this individual was
strong, but not entirely conclusive, and there
is evidently much yet to be learned about
the escape of Lyons, and the ends of justice
will not be met until it is discovered who
persuaded Cropley to act the part he did.
From the evidence produced yesterday it
appears that Cropley was employed in the
Navy Yard at the time of the attempted
robbery, and also that he was we'll
acquainted with Lyons. The probabilities
are, therefore, that he was the spy of the
burglars in the first instance, and that it was
on the strength of information obtained from
him that the burglary was undertaken. This,
with the eagerness manifested to procure the
release of Lyons at the earliest possible mo-
ment, seems to indicate the existence of a
bold and daring plot, in which Cropley,
Lyons and their immediate accomplices were
not the only ones implicated; and now that a
clue has apparently been obtained, no pains
should be spared to investigate the matter
thoroughly. Alderman Kerr very properly
decided to hold Cropley in the large sum of
$4,000 bail to answer in Court upon
the charge of perjury, and as no
one has yet offered to become
his security, he is safe under lock and key at
present, and ready to be produced when he
is wanted, and it will be an objectionable
piece of negligence if he is permitted to make
his escape unless he is acquitted by jury.
If he is convicted upon the charge of perjury,
the severest sentence that the law allows
should be visited upon him as warming to
''straw BALI goers in the future; and if case
can be made out against him as an accom-
plice of Lyons in the intended burglary, and
an additional sentence imposed, SO much the
better for the cause of justice. Not the
least singular feature of this affair is the ap-
parent difficulty of identifying Crop
ley beyond the shadow of a doubt.
The man who personated Schenkel
was in Recorder Givin's presence
for a considerable space of time, was cross
examined by him, and it is impossible that

THE TERMS or PEACE.

The rumors of peace negotiations seem to
gain consistency, and the great problem now
is what terms can be made mutually satis-
factory. 1t is reported that M. Tbiers is
authorized to propose, on behalf of France,
the payment of the war expenses of Prussia,
the destruction of the forts in Alsace and
Lorraine, and the occupation of Metz and
Strasburg by German troops until the ratif-
cation of the treaty by proper authorities.
1t is vain to expect that Germany, in the
present aspect of affairs, will be contented
with less important CONCESSIONS, but we
do not see that she can fairly
or wisely ask for much more. The
turning point of the negotiations, however,
will probably be the future ownership of
Alsace and Lorraine, France being as anxious
to retain her territory intact as portions of
Germany are to regain this detached slice of
the old Fatherland. Various plans to bridge
over this difficulty have been suggested. One
is to convert Alsace and Lorraine into sepa-
rate republic, and another to leave their citi-
zens to decide by vote whether they prefer
German or French masters hereafter. 1t is
said that Bismarck privately favors terms of ad-
justment substantially like those which France
is presumed to be willing to grant, and that he
would regard the provinces in question rather
as a troublesome bone of contention than a
source of real strength and he displays his usual
wisdom in adopting this moderate view. Two
centuries of French domination have estranged
the bulk of the inhabitants of Alsace and
Lorraine from their old German associates,
and while they would be discordant and un-
profitable elements of united Germany,
France, if she is now compelled to give them
up, would forever be striving to regain them.
If Prussia comes out of the war carrying off
all its laurels, establishing her own prestige,
obtaining ful security against future attacks,
and having her expenses repaid, she can we'll
afford to dispense with territorial acquisi-
tions.

TIE PEOPLE of New York are so fully con-
WINGED that the census has been imperfectly
taken in that city, that the Mayor proposes
to have the work done over again under mu-
nicipal authority. Making all due allowance
for the partisan motives which prompt these
complaints, there still appears to be some
substantial foundation for them, as it appears
that at large number of houses no inqui-
ries whatever have been made. 1t remains to
be seen whether Philadelphia has Jared any
better at the hands of the census takers.
They are taking time enough to discharge
their duties, but many houses have either
not been visited at all, or the inquiries have
been made in very careless and imperfect

THE RAILROAD MASTER MECHA-
MOS ASSOCIATION.

The third annual Convention of the American
Railroad Master Mechanics Association meets
in this city to-day, and we are glad to notice
that the leading establishments engaged in
the manufacture of railway supplies and
affiliated arts have made liberal arrangements
for the entertainment of these useful and dis
tinguished strangers. No mea have better
claim to the honor and respect of the COM
munity. They are the leaders of the grand
army of skilled industry which achieves all
the great triumphs of mind over matter, an
initiates space, and YIELDS together the most
distant portions of the continent. On their
fidelity and carefulness depend the
lives and safety of the whole travelling pub
merce worth untold millions. That they
nobly discharge their arduous and RESPONSE
BILE task is fully proved by the fact that acci-
dents caused by their neglect are of extremely
rare occurrence, Notwithstanding the enor-
nous extent of the railway system of the
United States, for when railway accidents do
happen it WILDE found in nine cases out of
ten that they were the legitimate conse-
quence of careless or impecunious manage
ment, or of unavoidable occurrences, for
which the master mechanics are in no way
responsible.
America can we'll spare thousands of
her blatant politicians, and she
would not suffer in the slight
est degree from the emigration of hosts
of professional men. But the loss of her
well-trained and reliable master mechanics
would be instantly felt in every corner of
the land, and every interest would suffer
deeply until this loss could gradually be re-
paired by the education of competent sue
cessors. We are glad, therefore, to see
the heads of establishments who know by
their experience the value of such men
uniting to do them honor; and when oul
citizens generally meet them either at the
park, the Continental Hotel, the theatre, on
the river, or at the seaside, they should fee
that they are in the presence of band Of
men who are entitled to the profound respect
of every genuine American citizen.
