THE CH5MBERS TRLlL
A THEORY OF INSANITY.


The Kings County Court of Oyer and Ter
opened yesterday morning for the purpose o.
hearing arguments of council Of having the trial
Of William Chambers, for the murder OF Domnicss o
VOORHEES, postponed until next month. When the csss
was called Mr. Howe OF counsel for Chambers asked for
a postponement until the third Monday or Wednesday N
April on OF the difficulty OF preparing for the
defense which rendered difficult account Il
the intense excitement which had been caused by hs
event. Mr. Howe also read an affidavit drawn up ~
Mr. Charles g Spencer OF the counsel for defence.
setting forth that from conversations held with the prts
he had not yet been able TO get at the true acs Of
the case that he had been Informed that prisoners
mother had died in unatc asylum. and that Chambers
had been born while his mother in the asylum. To
establish these facts woui be necessary 10 send COM
mission TO Ireland and the delay also asked for on
OF the time which would be required to get in
porant witnesses from Washington The theory oil mo
defense would be that OF insanity.
Judge Gilbert remarked that the affidavit dd not pre-
sent any legal objection as all the allegations cohtainoa
IN IL were only on Information ana bclCl.
Mr. Howe stated that the Information mat ChalnDefs
had been born in lunatlc asylum was given by Chan-
bers himself
Mr. Spencer then addressed the Court at length
in support OF his application for postponement lie

THE ENGLISH MISSION.

IT is reported that the President will proba-
bly, appoint Robert @. Schenck of Ohio, as
Minister to England and whether this report
is true or not, it is to be hoped that some
body will soon be discovered in the country
who is both able and willing to represent this
country effectively at the Court of st. James.
Nearly two years of Grants administration
have now elapsed without single forward
step being made in the matter of the settle
ment of the Alabama claims, and if there
are to be more delays, arising from our ina
bility to find a satisfactory Minister, or SINH
lar causes, we may as well
prepare to classify our little bill
with uncolleetable bad debts. If we should,
however, obtain a new Minister before all
the records in the case become moth-eaten,
it will be folly to send a man to England to
press Summers demand for a couple of thou
sand millions of dollars. Nothing would suit
the British statesmen better than to have our
claims placed upon an obviously impracticable,
unjust, and untenable basis. The people of
England will never pay exemplary damages
for the premature recognition of the Southern
Confederacy by their Government, and in
making such ridiculous demand
we would only weaken our just
claim for actual losses suffered
though the construction of Rebel ship-of-
war in English ports, and the facilities
offered for her escape in spite Of the pro-
tests of Mr.. Adams. What is needed is a
sensible Minister, whose head will not be
turned by British fattery, and who will
attend to a plain matter of business in a
rational way. One DIR. Franklin, in ques-
tion like this, would be worth a dozen
Reverdy Johnsons or Motleys; and we do not
believe that the race of shrewd American
diplomatists has diminished so fearfully that
years must be consumed in vain effort to
find one

The IMPOSING MOVEMENT made by the
Union League for Constitutional Conven-
ton has attracted considerable attention in
various portions of the State, and every true
friend of reform should use his best exertions
to press this proposition closely upon the
attention of the next Legislature. The fun
damental laws of the Commonwealth could
be greatly improved by wise amendments,
and as a convention would probably contain
a large number of the best and wisest men
of both parties, effective means could be
adopted for checking the tide of corruption,
and improving the character of State legis-
lation.

Pierre Jules Baroche.

EEeEFe Jules bHEoChes
A cable telegram brings the news OF the death Of
the distinguished French advocate and politician
Pierre Jules Baroche. He was born in Paris on
came advocate in 1923. lie was very eloquent
speaker, but his talents we're not well known until
about ten years after his admission to the bar He
finally, however, gained geat reputation as q
peader, and his services we've retained In a great
number Of very important cases both in the civil
courts and the Court of Peers.
In 1s47 he became a member OF the Chamber OF
Deputies, a supporter Of NJ. Odillon Barrot, and
a violent opposer of N. Guizot. In February,
1s4s, he took an active part in promoting the Re-
form banquet. At about the same time he signed
the act of accusation against MN. Guizot and Du-
chatel. A few days later he was elected to the
Constituent Assembly for Charente Inferieure, and
he then announced his profession OF faith to be po-
litical liberty gratutous education, the equitable
remuneration Of labor, protection for agriculture,
and the like. As a prominent member of the Re-
publican party, he was afterwards made a pro-
encouragement OF the republic in the Court of Ap-
peal in Paris and became Minister Of the Interior
1850.
He was always favorable to the policy of the Pre-
sdent OF the republic and after the coup detat he
became vicepresdent of the consultive commission,
and as such was ofcially appointed to proclaim the
votes taken by universal suffrage, which made Ma
poleon Emperor OF France. He successfully held
the offices OF President OF the Council of State with
the rank Of ministers Minister OF Foreign Affairs for
a short time In January 1860; Minister of Justice to
which o1ice he was appointed January %, 1868, and
Senator, the rank Of which he obtaued october 90

less notorious, while his skill in serving a
desperate cause is amply attested. The least
that Wikoff and Sanders can do, after post
poning their departure from Paris to the
moment when it was most likely to injure
the French cause, is to become rowing diplo-
matists in the interest of the unhappy people
whom they have abandoned.

WTHE MIN OH SIM

ACCORDING to the ''Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby,"
the ''man of sin" is the modern American
professional politician, and the hearty ap-
plause that greeted some of the most telling
hits made by "Nasby" in his discourse last
evening at the Academy of Music proved
that the most intelligent portion of the COM
munity fully agreed with him. This being
the case, it certainly ought to be possible to
institute such reforms in politics as will re-
lieve the nation and the Government, in
measure at least, from the disgraceful infu-
ences that now appear to be almost supreme
in the management of our State af-
fairs. The circumstances attending the
exit of Secretary Cox from the Cabinet have
excited a wholesome storm of indignation
that ought to be productive of important re-
suits; and it seems not improbable that Mr..
Cox, by leaving the Cabinet in the way he did,
has done the country more essential service
than he could have done by remaining at his
post. The President and the political trick
sters who appear to have gained his conf
dence have been taught that there is such a
thing as public opinion, and that certain
amount of respect, at least, must be paid to
it, and if the friends of reform will only follow
up their advantage it is possible that, ,measura-
bly, at least, the practices of ''the man of sin"
can be restrained within bounds, and the
public be protected from promise uous plum
der The difficulty, however, is that the best
men in the country do not take that active
interest in politics that is necessary if any
real reforms are to be effected and those who
vote knowingly for worthless candidates have
only themselves to blame if they behave badly
when elected. The imam of sin, f." however,
has become SO particularly outrageous of late
that even the most indifferent are beginning
to be alarmed and men who have hitherto
refused to give little time from their regular
avocations to attend to their political duties,
are beginning to inquire whether their own
safety does not require check to be
put upon the performances of those
who act upon the principle that society owes
them not merely living but enormous
riches, and who have instituted system of
legalized plunder that is rapidly extending
beyond the mere spoils of Office which pro-
fessional politicians have long con sidered as
indisputably their own. pointed and
humorous address like that delivered by
''Nasby" last evening ought to do much good
in calling attention to the frightful corrup-
tion that prevails in politics; but unless his
auditors make some practical application of
the arguments he set forth, he might as we'll
not have spoken. Newspapers and lecturers
do their duty when they expose the evils that
need to be reformed, but it remains with the
people themselves to say whether those re-
forms shall go into effect, or whether they
will submit to be plundered forever.
