Suugo no0f0rd ana His Slnudererv.
About six weeks ago Judge Bedford called
the attention of the Grand Jury of the
General Sessions to the fact that the
gross frauds committed against the CITY
had never been thoroughly investigated,
and reminded them that it was their
duty to inquire into those alleged
criminal acts and to indict any persons they
might believe to have been implicated in them
1t Is singulary significant circumstance that
ever since he took this position Judge
Bedford has been the mark for the
virulent attacks both of the organ Of the
old Tammany Ring and of the organ
of the new Albany Ring. The partisans Of
Tweed, and all professed champions of muni-
cipal reform, have been equally persistent in
their endeavors to impugn the motives and
to defeat the object of Judge Bedford, which
is to bring to justice the persons who have
conspired to rob the city Of millions Of dol
lars. Among other assaults intended to
drive the Judge from his purpose is one ema-
mating from the Times, which charges that
Judge Bedford during his term of Office
as Assistant District Attorney uujustly and
corruptly claimed and received from the
city certain sum Of money as ''extra
pay" In reply to this slanderous in
sinuation Judge Bedford publishes
bold and manly letter, which appears in the
HERALD to-day, setting forth the facts in the
case and demanding an immediate and search
ing inquiry into his share in the transaction.
We have no doubt that the Investigation thus
courted by Judge Bedford Will result In his
thorough vindication, and we hope that
the malice and enmity Of partisan journals
will not swerve him hairs breath from his
strict line Of duty, or be suffered to interfere
for an instant with the effective prosecution Of
all who are alleged to have been implicated In
the gross frauds that have admittedly been
committed against the city.

cious souvenirs Of the past. We therefore

half of the territory once possessed by Mexico,
in the annexation Of Texas In 1845, and In the
cession by the treaty Of 1S4S Of ell that vast
region now embraced In the large States Of
California and Nevada, and in the great Terri
tories Of New Mexico Colorado, Utah and part
of Arizona; and in subsequent purchase
from Santa Anna for ten millions Of another
good slice added to Arizona. All the vast re-
gion covered by these States and Territories
except the cattle raising districts Of Texas
and California, was considered by Mexico
worthless and mainly an uninhabitable desert.
We see, however, the enormous elements of
wealth developed in these apparently desert
regions by American explorations and enter
prise. The same may be said Of Lower Cali
fornia. In the possession of Spain and Mexico
it has remained for hundreds Of years thinly
Inhabited desert; but no sooner il the penin-
sula turned over to Yankee colonization
company, and no sooner does the enterprising
Yankee take hold Of 1t, than new source Of
wealth, richer than mines Of gold, though
trodden over by the shiftless natives for hun
dreds Of years, is first by these new American
settlers brought into the market.
May we not, then, reasonably assume that,
with the annexation of Mexico and the occu-
patton Of the whole country by our govern
ment, the inquring and enterprising spirit of
our people will soon reveal the resources of
those older States to be ten times greater than
the discoveries or estimates of the indolent
Mexicans? Surely the time approaches for
the settlement of this question of manifest
destiny;" and if the opportunity now offered
to General Grant for greater achievement
than the treaty which secured US that vast
country extending from Texas to California
is thrown away, some other party will take 1t
and turn it to good account. Let the Cali
fornia Land Company, in the Courts and in
Congress, push their case, and the larger ques-
tlon involved will carry them through.

to convict him after the order of the reformers

brings up the amount of bonds issued fraudu-
lently to upwards Of twenty million dollars.

Governor Hawley's paper, remarks that
General Butler does not find it convenient
to preside at the dinner to be given in Wash

has Butler come at last. Deserted by friends
and not loved by foes. But Butler and
Hawley were never very good friends.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. President
yesterday submitted to Congress the report
of the Commissioners entrusted with the i'm
portant duty Of devising rules and regulations
for the purpose of reforming the civil service,
together with . brief message, in which he
recommends such legislation as may be needed
10 carry the suggestions of the Board into
effect. The conclusions arrived at by the
Commission are unquestionably sound and
wise, but we do not believe that the reforms
they advocate ara at ell likely TO be adopted at
the present time, and hence their report will
probably be Of little practical utility. stl II is
gratifying 10 see that the public attention is
directed 10 the question Of civil service reform,
and II is to be hoped that before long the
popular movement commenced In this city
will reach the fountain head and make as COM
plete reformation at Washington as we hope
to have secured In New York

THE SAN JUAN BOUNDARY QUESTION:
In pursuance Of the High Joint Treaty of
Washington, the memorandum of the United
States claim in this matter has been b anded
over to the Emperor of Germany by our
Minister at Berlin, Mr.. Bancroft. Relying,
then, upon the calm and impartial judgment
of the Emperor and bis righthand man,
Prince Bismarck, we have nothing further to
say on the subject, except that the object
here In dispute between us and Great Britain
is little military island, in q navigable
boundary inlet on the North Pacific coast,
which would hardly fetch thousand dollars
under the hammer for industrial purposes.

THE ERIE RAILWAY LITIGATION. ester
day. In the United States Circuit Court,
Judge Blatchford rendered another important
decision In the suit of Heath and Raphael,
the English shareholders, against the Erie
Railway Company and Jay Gould. 1t will be
remembered that the claim of Heath and
Raphael was that 60, O56 shares Of Erie stock.
which they alleged was their property, should
be restored to them by the defendants. After
a heightened legal controversy an order was
made by the Master transferring forty-seven
thousand and odd shares to Heath and
Raphael, leaving the question as to the owner
ship of 1874 remaining shares still to be
determined. Jay Gould petitioned the Court to
declare that he was owner Of or had an interest
in these IL, 734 shares; but the Judge has met
this petition by an adverse decision, in which
be vacates the order suspending the delivery
of the twelve thousand shares to the English
stockholders. This Is another defeat for Erie.
Erie has had plenty Of law, and 1t is now get
ting it hot and heavy.

The Russo.G erman Entente.

A number of distinguished Prussians who
have been visiting St. Petersburg took their
departure from the Russian capital yesterday
on their homeward return trip. The highest
national Russian honor was bestowed on them
at the moment. His Majesty the Emperor
Alexander, the Grand Duke Constantine, with
the Princes Of the Russian royal family, ''es-
corted" them Escorted" Is the word used in
the report-to the railway station. Each men,
Der Of the Russian imperial party was clothed
in the full uniform of the Prussian army in
compliment to the guests Of Alexander's
Court. The value of this press news
despatch is marred to . very great ex-
tent by the fact that the reporter has not
told us who the much-honored Germans were.
If they belong to the family Of the Emperor
William we can account for the display, ac-
cording to the time-honored rule that "blood
runs thicker than water" the admixture Of
the blood of the Romanoffs with that Of Ger
man royalty dating from the marriage Of
Anne, daughter Of Peter the Great, to Charles
Frederick, Duke Of Holstein- Gottorp, and the
birth Of Peter III. Of Russia as the fruit Of the
union. The accession Of Peter III. brought
the throne of Russia to the present reigning
family. Tho Russo German imperialist re-
union in st. Petersburg yesterday was evil
IDENTIFY magnificent display-one which may
portend great deal more than what follows
from ordinary leave -takings, even among per-
sons Of exalted rank.

THE GRAND DUKE ALEXIS AND THE
PEOPLE OF CANADA seem to agree so far as
the sentiments Of loyalty to monarchies in the
Old World and the established power and
reputation of the great house of Romanoff
is concerned. Our despatch from Ottawa
describes a brilliant ovation to the young
Russian yesterday. After being enter
tanned by the Governor General, Lord Lis
gar, and having driven through the city,
a public welcome was given him In the Senate
Chamber. A short address was read by the
Mayor and replied to with much feeling by the
Prince. Immense crowds congregated around
the entrances to the Senate, and wherever he
went he was enthusiastically cbeered and
heartily received by the inhabitants of the
capital Of the Dominion. In the evening Lady
Lisgar held reception, at which, Of course,
the Prince was the principal guest.

THE ORLEANS PRINCES IN THE FRENCH
AssEBLY.-The Prince de Joinville and
the Duke d'Aumale took their seats In the Ma
tional Assembly Of France yesterday. They
ranged themselves In the centre Of the men,
bers representing the party of the right.
Their appearance as citizen Legislators pro-
duced no sensation In the parliamentary body.
We learn, also, by telegram from France, that
the government Of the republic has refused TO
sell the crown jewels to private parties. This
will prevent the occurrence of q deal Of out
side speculation Of very demoralizing char
acter. Perhaps the gems may bc needed at

young America az the wheel.

A well known clergyman was crossing
lake Erie some years ago upon one of
the Ike steamers, and seeing small lad
him as follows: Ny son, yon appear to
be a small boy to stee,- so large ooatf
Yes, sir, was the reply; out you see
can do it, though" DO you think
you understand your business, my sonY
" Yes, sir, think / do. " Can you box
the compass2' "Yes, sir" Let me
hear you box it." The boy did as he
was requested, when the minister said:
well, really, you can do it. Can you
box it zRackwardY q Yes, sir. ' Let
me hear You" The boy didagain as was
requested, when the minister remarked:
f" / declare, my sonl You do seem to
understand your business" The boy
then took his turn at question-asking,
beginning: Pray. sir, what might be
your businessY q / am minister of
the gospel. Do you understand your
businessY 81 think / do, my son.
Can you say the Lords Prayer
ayes" "Say it. The clergyman did
so, repeating the words in very fervent
manner, as though trying to make an
impression on the lad. "Well, really,
said the boy, upon its conclusion, you
do know it, don't you2 Now say it back
ward !" "Ohl / can't do such a thing
as that or course" You cant
do il, eh2" returned the boy. "Well
then, you see understand my business
a great deal better than you do yours.
The clergyman acknowledged himself
beaten, and retired.
