The Decision IN the Real Case.

The Court of Appeals has affirmed the oc-
ton of the General Term Of the Supreme
Court in the case of JouN REAL, and that
murderer is at last to be hanged.
This decision is a most honorable endorse
mont Of Judge BARyApp before whom REAL
was tried. In court room crowded with
the angry friends of the prisoner, and him
self threatened by them with vengeance in
case of RENL's conviction and sentence,
Judge BARNARD was equally fearless and
fair. Every one of his rulings is now sus'
tanned by the highest tribunal in the State
and the Justice dccrecd in his Court, though
long delayed, will ut last be done.
Firmncss in the administration of tho
criminal law is essential TO the public safety
in this city. The judiciary shows itself re
solved to administer it regardless of politi
cal pressure or threats and in this course Il
deserves the support and hearty approval o
every rood citizen.

The Pyramids had barely recovered from
their nmazement in looking down upon a ne
phcw Of Gen. BrrLER cnthroncd in the capital
of the Pharaohs, when their capacities of astonish-
mcnt are anew tried by the arrival OF an army
of American officers who propose to help the
Khedive to put down the sick man at Stamboul.
Somehow or other, Americans. nre nowadays
needed everywhere to cut the Gordian knot OF
difficult questions WARN, who in these ATTITUDES
is called Chinese filibuster, is worshipped
among the Celestials as Yankee god; and ac-
cording to present indications, the time is not
far of when our countrymen will rank as saints
in the Egyptian Elysium, and be worshipped as
was Isis of old. Who would not like TO take o
commission with 5000 year from the Khcdive,
with hope of pleasant place in the society OF
Mohammcd at some future periodp Old Egypt,
from which the ancient Israelites fed in dismay,
has become the place to which the more modern
Americans rush with delight. Such are some o.

Mr.. GOODWIN SMITH has not increased

Mr. SMITH did not send his invective against DIS

Gen. BUTLER's relation to tho RoLLIN
WurE patent, which drew out the violent debate
Of Wednesday in the House Of Representatives
becomes rather complicated when examined with
the help of the Globes official report Of the de-
bate, 1t appears that in July, 1867, Gen. BuTLER
wrote to the Commissioner of Patents asking to
be heard against the extension Of the patent say
ing that "there are reasons which render II for
the interest of the Government as well as par
ties in Massachusetts, that his claim SHOULD be
examined before any extension is made"
In 1868, year Nfterward however, Gen. Bur
LER was retained by RoLLN WHITE upon the
other side, and made written argument before
the Supreme Court, receiving tor his services on
January 25, 1859, $4,000 in cash as his counse
fee. Finally, at the present session of Congress
bill was passed authorizing WulTE TO apply fol
an extension Of this patent, which Gen. BUTLEI
had thus alternately opposed and advocated

1t is difficult to ride two horses, or to be
on two sides of a question and this difficulty is
not escaped by our distinguished contemporary,
the Tribune. On the 14th inst, the day after
President GRANT sent his Spanish message to
Congress, the Tribune said: we do not say
Congress should recognize bclligerent rights"
On the Esd inst, after Mr. SrMSER's Cuban reso-
luton had been reported to the Senate, the same
Journal expresses different opinion, saying
+" We cannot but believe that the more digniled
and wiser course for Congress to pursue is the
simple declaration Of American neutrality in
Cuban affairs" The recognition Of belligcrency
is nothing but proclamation of neutrality, Il
is manifest that the Tribune has not succeeded
in cndoavoring to express itself on both sides o
the same question.

ssThe Erie, Abroad.

The New York correspondent of the
London RdiJl0ay Nel1s thus discourses OF |
the Erie in a recent letter upon Railway |
Affairs in America :"
'STo return to the Erie, as of most inter- |
est to English readers. If the expenditure
on the road has been enormous, there Is at
least something to show for it, even with
out stirring out of New York. The mag
niicent boats which have almost mOnOpo-
lied the trade between New York and
Boston serve as valuable feeders to the
Erie system; and as an instance of
the management of Messrs. Fisk
and Gould, may mention that a
traffic has been created by this route which
was never before dreamt of. The forepart
of the boats, / find, are fitted with stalls,
and between forty and fifty horses are daily
brought from point on the Atlantic and
Great Western Railway breeding station
of which l have forgotten the name-and
shipped here for the New England States
The new Erie offices, now nearly com
pleted, will be one of the sights OF New
York. These offices form part OF the Grand
Opera House, the purchase Of which Tor
$500, 900 of Erie funds has been so much
commented upon. went over them the
other day, but 1 despair of giving your
readers any proper idea of their SPLEEN
dor. Almost from roof to basement
the fittings are Of polished walnut, picked
| out with gold, and the ceilings and walls
| are painted in superb designs. Everything
to the very hinges and handles Of the
| doors shows exquisite taste, and the ar
| rangement of the different departments Is
| convenient and luxurious in the extreme
| A ire-proof compartment with safes e1-
| tends the whole height Of the building.
/ In the basement is a large printing office;
| and telegraph wires are laid to every de-
| partment and warehouse of the line. Nor
are creature comforts unprovided for;
there is a weIl-ftted kitchen, with lifts to
| the different floors. A communication Is
made with an adjoining house, which can
be used as a residence; and corridor
leads into the opera house. Altogether,
since virtue is its own reward, the Ere
directors may hope, with these
pleasant accessories, to be pretty com
Portable in their new quarters. The
expenditure on the whole, however, may
not be unwarrantable, as by leasing the
theatre the company have their Office rent
free. The twenty-third street tramway,
lust sanctioned by the Legislature, runs
past the building, leading to the new Ferry
of the Erie Company great public con-
veyance, by the way-and at its other end
on the East River landing stage VIII De
made for the transfer of Erie passengers TO
the Boston boats. Such cOnvenienees as
those which are being afforded by the Enc
throughout their system are adding eoLiSla-
erably to their passenger traffic; and I'M
der the new facilities for business the oil
and coal trade of the Atlantic and Great
Western has reached figure never before
attained, while the Western corn traffic IS,
am told, increasing rapidly
