Tom MURPHY Is credited with having had
the President suppress the pardon of Bowen,
which had been promised to the devoted wife
Of the unlucky carpet-baggcr, and for which
the poor woman has waited with gradually
sinking heart at the State Department in
Washington for moro than week. Tom is
said to have remarked to another gentleman
relative to the matter:-"We have decided not
to pardon Bowen. 1t would not be expe-
dent" II Tom has become power behind the
throne at last we warn him that he is not serv-
ing the power upon the throne very kindly or
well when he makes him ridiculous by with
drawing one day what he has done the day
before 1t is better and more expedient that
Bowen be pardoned than that the Presidents 3
word, once given, should be departed from.

HEAVY THUNDER STORMS and destructive
frcshets are reported 10 England, involving
serious losses on the flooded rivers, and It Is
said that many churches were set on fire by
the lightning and destroyed, and that num-
Der of lives were lost From the violent
storms In Great Britain of the last two or three
years, winter and summer, it would appear
that the climate of that island Is undergoing a
great change, aud that the island, from year
to year, Is becoming more and more subject
TO severe droughts and destructive storms than
IL has ever known heretofore; but what it all
means our Signal S,rvice Bureau can perhaps
inform rs. We think il is apparent that the
same general influences which mark the sea-
sons 10 our Northern States extend 10 the
British islands, aud we dare say the same in
luences extend around the northern temper
ate zone Of the globe but what is the mean
Ing of these great changes in our seasons is
what we should like to know.

THE TRIAL OF NAVAL OFFICER LArLIN is
to commence at Herkimer, N. Y, on a charge
of perjury, which appears to have no better
foundation than q very natural confusion of
statement about matter OF which it is hardly
probable any man would feel interested
enough to retain very clear memory Of
details. The Naval Officer appears to have
stated that certain bond had not left his
possession during a certain period, when, on
the other hand, another gentleman claims to
have had the bond in his own possession at
least for time during that period. As the
Naval Officer, however, certainly had the
bond back again as good as ever, and nobody
Is the worse for its temporary change of
hands, the whole prosecution looks like case
of tweedledum and tweedledee. II would
have looked less like trining If the thrifty
gentlemen of Herkimer had prosecuted Mr..
Latin for his unparalleled oversight in mailing
the bond In mistake for campaign docu-
ment

TIE SHERMAN MURDER TRIAL In Connec-
h ticut has been postponed until Monday. The
: evidence given yesterday contained some fur

Sheriff who arrested her. 1t seems that acute
individual attempted cross-examnation of

lions enough to her to confuse the most inno-

The Reorganization o0the French Army,

The Reorganization Oh the French Army.
AS an evidence Of the recuperative powers
of France we learn by telegraph to-day the
reorganization Of the army Is completed The
effective strength is three hundred and twenty
thousand men. This is a good exhibit for the
young republic to be able to make. From the
debris Of the shattered forces of the empire
republican France has collected the fragments
and moulded them into force of no mean
power. Before the empire passed away the
military force of France needed reorganiza-
ton. Had the advice of Generals Trochu,
Faidherbe, Chanzy and other generals been
taken at the time they were offered the crush
ing defeats which have since overtaken the
nation when brought into conflict with Ger
many would moi have befallen it. In the end,
however, it may prove all for the best. If the
imperial defeats are indirectly the means by
which France IS 10 secure wise, liberal and
democratic form of government, then all the in
iuries the country has sustained by the loss Of
vaIua BILE lives, the destruction of properly,
and the surrender of portion Of territory will
no. have been without good effect. But after
all there is something more needed than mill
tary reorganization. The French people have
in the matter Of the French loan shown their
determination and ability to raise their country
from the humber position to which she has
fallen to condition of prosperity. The cult
walton of friendly relations with other nations,
the development Of internal resources, the
encouragement of useful arts, the promotion
of industry and the general improvement Of
the people--these, rather than the reorganiza-
ton Of her armies, will secure to France the
peace she needs and the prosperity she de-
sires. This now is the duty to which French
statesmen should bend their thoughts, In order
that republican France under such policy
would not only equal but eclipse the most
brilliant and prosperous days of the past,
when the nation was under monarchical or
imperial sway.
The New York herald., 1871-07-08

empire, it was at best but iong-protra cted
decline. The great Powers OF the Middle
Ages cannot be considered as cases in point.
But the old story was repeated, and repeated
most emphatically in the career of France
from 1889 to the fall of Napoleon In 1914. In
our own day 1t has been repeated with the
same people and in connection with the same
name from 1S4S to 1870. Republican institu-
tions have done migaty things for us but
directly the Caesar is accepted by this people
that moment will mark the commencement of
our national decay. With full knowledge Of
the great lessons Of the past, with her own sad
national experience, with our bright example
before us, why should France go back? Why
should she stihe her own nObler instincts and
again, as in 1906, in 1880, in 1S4S, abandon
what she has nobly won?
AS we have said already, 1t Is difficult to
speak with confidence of the immediate future
Of France. What ought to be we know-what
will be we can only guess. At the present
moment France is virtually q republic; but
the present government is only provisional.
SoonerUr later the Assembly must consider
and decide whether France is to become
monarchy or to assume the character Of re-
public. II the Assembly decides in favor OF
the restoration of monarchy, as 1t is evident
NJ. Guizot thinks it ought to do, and as NJ.
Thers evidently fears it may do, France, as
we have said, will go blackjack upon herself
and back to all the folies of Medievalism. If
the Assembly decides in favor of the perpetu-
alton of the republic France will find herself
at once fairly In the current of modern pro-
gress; and we hesitate not to say that within
ten years she will have regained not only
much of what she has lost, but will have be-
come the envy of the nations. France, happy
and prosperous under the republican banner,
Italy, Spain and Portugal, would all rally
around her; Austria would find herself impo-
tent to resist the popular tide; Berlin Jonker-
ism would tremble in its boots, aud even the
Russian Gar might find it convenient to per-
manently quit the banks of the Neva. We are
sorry that M. Theirs, who has 80 much power
In his hands, is not little more pronounced.
1t is only few days since he reminded the
Assembly Of what he had said many years
ago Eff you will not cross the channel with
us you must cross the Atlantic" We advise
him to abandon all ideas of monarchy, to look
across the Atlantic, and to initiate the great
role Of George Washington. By so doing be,
too, will become the father Of his country.

SENSIBLE IN THE PoPE.-We learn through
our European cable dispatches that the Pope
has written to NJ. Theirs stating that he will
remain in Rome. This is sensible. Rome is
the proper place for his Holiness. He will
learn in time that it is useless kicking against
modern progress and the political changes Of
the age. In time, too, he will see that the
temporal power of the Papacy is not neces-
sary to maintain his spiritual influence over
the Christian world He will be relieved Of
worldly cares by giving up civil government,
and will become more useful in consequence
Let him stick to the Eternal City as spiritual
chief, and St. Peter, St. Paul and all the
other old apostolic saints will smile upon him
from their heavenly abode for his wise deci-
sion.
