The anonymous idiot who signs him
self, ST. c. U, 2 delivers from the DEM
oeratie vessel two columns more of
slop intended for our de6lement. Be
hind the coward's refuge, an anony-
nous signature, he hopes to conceal
his insignifcance and want Of respee-
liability while at the same time exhibi-
ting before the public the masked per-
formances OF q very weak but very
coarse and malicious blackguard. That
he continues to Withhold his name from
the public shows that he retains an ap-
preeiative shame of his identity which
although confession Of his own dis
grace, indicates a wholesome fear Of
public opinion. The trouble with ST.
G. U, lis that his instinct for lying and
defamation is so strong that he cannot
control it and he does the next best
thing by keeping his name from the
public. His two columns of idiotic
drivel contains nothing the imPor-
tanee of which it would not magnify
to attempt a serious or respectful reply
to, and proves nothing except that of
all snealzs the one who sku1ks behind
a fictitious f name for the pur-
pose of assassinating the reputation of
his neighbor is the most contemplate
and pusilIanimous. Beside such a per-
SON ]. wilkes Booth is saint and
Uriah Heep the perfection Of lnan-
hood.

COLLAPSE OF THE REPUBL1O.


The dissensiOns and failures of the
French Republic have resulted in q
royalist triumph, and a Constituent
Assembly has been chosen which will,
in all probability, recognize no other
alternatives than the recall of Napo-
leon, or the restoration of the Bour-
bons. Having taken up Napoleon's
quarrel with Napoleon's wasted re-
sources the Provisional Government
has equaled, if not exceeded, Napo-
Icons disasters. Its misfortunes and
mistakes have so far extenuated
those of the Emperor as 10 make the
re-establishment of the Empire no
disagreeable alternative to a people
who have never yet enjoyed real
freedom of action or opinion. Judg-
ing of republican governments by
what has been a republic in name
only, and destitute of the enlightening
the French people return to the royal
ist faith by instinct, and as seems to
them, necessity.
That the continuance of the war
would but lead to this result we have
repeatedly predicted. Sedan was the
Republics opportunity. Imperialism
was then not only dethroned but odious.
A government which at that time had
given the French people not only free
dom but peace, and wisely employed
the opportunities Of peace to repair the
misfortunes of an unjust and aggress-
i've war, could not have failed to ae-
| quire the prestige which the Empire
had lost and would have engaged the
hearty sympathy and cooperation of
every enlightened people.
But it will be alleged that if peace
had been proffered Immediately after
Sedan, terms inconsistent with the
dignity and honor of France, and
therefore impossible, would have been
exacted. No one knows this for the
experiment was not tried, but snppos-
ing the assumption to be true, what
has France gained in dignity or honor
by prolonging a war that but leads her
back 10 the dominion that disgraced
her and has but embittered the cup of
her suffering and misfortune? There
has been, so far as we could see, no rea-
son to doubt that more favorable terms
could have been secured after Sedan
than after Paris. At all events, had
the offer of a reasonable peace been
made-and it should first have come
from the aggressor-and had a repub-
lie been established which had secured
not only free ballot but freedom OF
speech and Of opinion, dissolving not
only national but local despotism OF
whatever form or name. and substitu-
ted in its stead a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
ple,' the German King would have
been left without excuse for farther
bIoodshed, and his armies must have
reversed their course or fought against
the sympathies and prayers of all to
whom freedom is a possession or an
aspiration.
Here then was the mistake and we
have its result. France fighting the
battles of despot in the name of a
Republic, has wasted the resources
that should have been the sinews of
freedom, and lies PROSTATE at the feet
of the Bonapartes and the Bourbons.
It is sad, sad picture, but who is to
blame?

MISS nEAar,s STATUE.

Winnie Ream's statue of LINCOLN
has been the subject of great deal of
censorious criticism by people who
trary many persons who have seen
it have made it a subject of unmixed
praise. Between these we shall not
undertake to judge. But some, in fact
many things have been said by way
of censure which, as it seems to us,
are, to use no harsher terms. entirely
foreign to the spirit of candid criti-
cism.
For example. great fault is found
with Miss REAAf because she was not,
at the time of her selection to execute
this work, zone of the most famous
sculptors of America" But does this
necessarily disprove her fitness for the
undertaking Does it necessarily
show that the result of her work is a
failure9 The same might once have
been said of the most famous sculptor
living, and we doubt whether even
Mr.. POWERS could have produced a
statue of LINCOLN that would have
been absolutely faultless. The fact
that Miss REAAE was or is not fam Gus
has nothing to do with the merits of
her work.
But it is said, as if with intent to ex-
plain away merit that cannot be de-
MED, that the statue was executed
from a crude model by hired experts.
What is the authority for this? If it
is not pure assertion it is because of ev-
idence we have not seen. Would it not
be more just and reasonable to assume
that the merits of the statue are really
results of the artists skill until facts
appear to the contraryP
But it is alleged that none OF the
great sculptors have spoken in praise
of Miss REAM's statue. This is not
surprising. Artists are not accustom-
ed to gush in praise of each others
works. This may be melancholy, but
it is nevertheless true, and it is possi-
BILE that Miss REAM's LINCOLN may be
a meritorious work, notwithstanding
that proclamation to that effect
has not been made by her profession
al compeers.
In these observations it is not our
purpose to commend or condemn this
woman's handiwork or the action of
Congress in reference thereto. All
we speak for, all we ask for is fair
play, and this WINNIE REAM is
neither less nor more entitled to
because she is IOOn1GN. II she has
really achieved something meritor-
ious, we are profoundly gratifed;
fed; if she has failed we have no wish
to conceal the evidence of her failure,
even though not among those who can
take pleasure therein.

For several days many painful ap-
prehensiOns have existed as to the
safety of the United States war steam
er, Tennessee, which sailed from New
York about fortnight ago with the
San Domingo Commission on board.
There are as yet no positive tidings as
to the whereabouts or safety Of the yes
sci and opinions are divided as to her
fate. 1t cannot be denied that there
are apparently valid reasons for grave
apprehension, although the highest Of
fetal assurance has been given of the
excellent sea-Worthiness of the Ten
nessee, and that the want of tidings Of
her arrival at San Domingo, is easily
attributable to the inefieiency of news
communication from that port. Posi-
tive intelligence as to the safety Of the
vessel viii be awaited with great in
terest and no little anxiety.

WAC NOTES.

Pending the recent elections the Em-
peror Napoleon addressed a proclama-
ton to the electors of France, in which
he bitterly denounces the Republic
and suggests that 'sthere is only one
government, in which resides national
sovereignty, meaning no doubt the
Empire. How much weight will be Civ
en- to this assumption remains to be
seen.
The elections passed off peacefully
throughout France and have resulted
in monarehicaI triumph. The Con-
stituent Assembly which has al
ready been convened at Bordeaux,
contains large majority of royalists,
most of whom are said 20 be favorable
to a restoration of the Bourbons. It is
snrmised that the first work of the As
sembly will be to frame a Provisional
Government with the Count de Paris
as President, leaving the question as
to the succession to the throne to be
decided by a plebiscite.
A dispatch of the 18th, from Bor-
deaux, says a committee to negotiate
a treaty Of peace has been selected and
draft of the treaty has been approved
by Bismarck. The treaty is to be sign
ed at once, and the German troops win
then march through Paris and take
trains for home. The Assembly win
then adjourn to Paris and there pro-
ceed with the reorganization of the
Government.

rHn enoLoe1oAL coRPs.


In view of various suggestions made
as to changes in the organization of
the Geological Corps it is proper to say
that the act under which the present
Organization was made, was framed
with the view to securing the greatest
possible amount of service with the
least possible expense. That the best
arrangement possible was made in
every respect is not claimed; dihcul-
ties had to be met as they existed, and
the best done that could be done, with
limited means, and in the midst o.
conflicting opinions. The State being
large, and comprising varieties of
formations which could be readily
grouped into grand divisions, it was
deemed advisable to appoint, to the
Chief Geologist, a limited number of
Assistants, each of whom should be
eminent in scientific attainments, and
held responsible for the proper exami-
nation Of each one of the grand divis-
ions. Each Assistant was TO be allow
ed to employ as much local help as the
appropriation would admit of in work
ing up the geological details of each
county, and by generalizing the knowl-
edge thus acquired, render essential
assistance in mapping the geology Of
the State at large.
Under this arrangement the work
proceeded at once in every section of
the State and a good general outline
was made of all the formations within
its boundaries, within the time that
would have been required for the
Chief Geologist, without the aid of re-
sponsible assistants, to geologic a
single section. Thus a large amount
of time and money was saved and not
only has the generalization been COM
pleted but many of the counties have
been worked over in detail.
It has been suggested that each As
sistant should be independent and
held exclusively responsible for the
work in his district. This has prae-
ticalIy been the case. Prof. Orton and
Prof. Andrews have each controlled
and managed the work in the territory
assigned them asexelusively asif there
had been no Chief Geologist. There
has been, so far as we could see, no oc-
casion for jealousy, and if such feel
ing has existed it has been manufac-
tured.
It may be further said in favor of the
present organization that in no pre-
vious survey in any State of the Union
has there been so great an amount Of
valuable work done in so short space
of time and at so inconsiderable an
expense. 1t is possible that a differ
ent organization might work better
and it is also possible that tinkering
the present law might ultimately
prove that it is more advisable to LET
we'll enough alone.

Infuriated husbands of pistOling ee-
centricities receive different treatment
in Ohio from that meted ont to them
in New York. Last week DR.. GALEN-
TID1 of Cleveland, was sentenced to
ten years imprisonment for shooting
DR.. JONES, for the alleged seduction of
his wife, and now it iasannouneed that
ANDREW J. BAUDER, who killed his
wife for alleged inidelity, has been
found guilty of granddaughter by a
Toledo jury, and sentenced 10 ten
years in the penitentiary. After few
more such examples it would not be
surprising if the emotional insanity
of the infuriated husband would as
sumo a more rational type.

AUTHORSHIP OF THE LIQUOR
LAW.


Many inquiries are being made as to
who was the author of the law, now
being enforced, which authorizes any
person suffering damage from the sale
of intoxicating liquors to recover the
same from the seller or from the own
er Of the property where the sale was
made. This law was framed and in
trodueed in the House on the 7th of
February last by Mr.. ADAIR, of Car
roll county, and after protracted dis
cussion was passed on the Sth of April
ensuing. 1t was finally signed and be-
came law on the 18th of April, 1879,
and has therefore been upon our
statute books nearly six months.
We have already published the law
in full and need therefore give on
synopsis of its provisions. There
could scarcely be desired a more eff
cient prohibitory enactment than this
one, if enforced, and there seems to be
disposition among practical temper
men to enforce it. There is not liquor
dealer in Ohio who can Withstand for
any length Of time the vigorous execu-
tion of its provisions. Nor can any
thing be more effectual to silence the
clamor of that class of politicians who
seek to make the temperance question
political hobby by demanding pro-
hibitory law, than an intelligent un-
derstanding of the nature and efieisn-
cy Of this enactment.
