thousand dollars. This action Of Judge
Barnard was received with astonishment by
the people at large, and we do not hesitate to
say that should the accused not be forthcom-
ing at his trial Judge Barnard will be held
responsible by the people for his escape. The
Judge in fixing the bail stated that no could
only regard the case Of the prisoner as an
ordinary one, and demand such an amount Of
security for his appearance as he should in
any other instance. In this we think Judge
Barnard has made Q grave error. While the
present charge against Tweed may he Of
itself comparatively light, 1t is notorious
that the city has by similar prac-
robbed of millions of dollars, and hence the
case is taken out of the ordinary class. Five
thousand dollars is ridiculously small sum in
which to hold a man who is suspect ed Of hav-
ing corruptly accumulated double that num-
Der of millions, and in accepting such
sureties Judge Barnard has taken upon
himself grave liability. In the
case Of Connolly, the accused being already
prisoner in Ludlow Street Jail, detainer was
lodged at that institution, and until he fur
nishes bail on the civil suit on which he is
now confined, and which has just been re-
duced to half a million, the question Of the
amount of his sureties on the criminal
charge will not be taken up. 1t is
at all events satisfactory to know
that both the officials alleged to
have been concerned in the city
corruptions are now apparently certain Of
being brought to trial. At snch time 1t
would be unbecoming to enlarge upon the
offences they are accused Of having COM
mitted, or to attempt In any way to ex-
cite q prejudice against them. Every
man is entitled to fair and impartial
trial, however grave the offence with
which he may be charged, and this il all the
people desire in the case Of Tweed and Con-
molly. Let them be tried without prejudice
and without favor, and whatever may be the
result-provided no legal quibbles are allowed
to defeat the ends of justice-the citizens Of
New York will be satisfied.
They have no vindictve feelings to crafty,
but they have insisted, and do insist that JUS
tice shall not be prostituted to political ex-
pediency, and that the city shall not be suf-
ferred to rest under the stigma of being unable
or unwilling to punish crimes that have been
notoriously committed against the common
wealth.

A BRUTAL WIFE MURDER AT LYNN,
MASS, took place yesterday. A man
named Venner, having dispatched his wife in
dirk knife, fled to the woods, where he
was shortly afterwards found by the police
officers who had been sent to arrest him.
After fighting furiously and severely wound
ing one of the officers, and threatening others
with the same instrument he had employed to
kill his wife, the City Marshal found it neces-
sary to shoot him dead, that being the only
manner in which they could take his body
without danger to themselves.

The French Army The Power Of the Day
in France.
By special telegram from London, which
appears elsewhere in our columns, we are
made aware of the fact that the direction
OF the International Society in England has
employed Of late system Of active political
propagandism in the ranks Of the French
army. This missionary agency was not, as it
looks TO us, sent forth for the purpose OF
preaching among the soldiers for conversion,
but for that of obtaining declaration of irmer
faith from reformers who had been already
baptized and confirmed in the new creed
of European democracy. The preachers
have reported to the centre of unity in
London. They say that the French army is
divided in political sentiment The men are
either republican or imperalists; with the
imperialists the strongest in number, the
only object presenting against the real
ization Of their hopes being the op-
erations Of the International. If this state
ment is correct the Internationals hold the
'.balance of power" between the monarchy
and the republic in France. A ''balance Of
power" party is always strong party, pro-
vided It's leaders are honest and the rank and
file guided by principle only.
Mr.. JAMES STEELE MAoKAYE is the now
lessee of the st. james Theatre, which he
will open early in January for three months
season. New plays, new scenery, new proper
ties, new costumes, new orchestra and new
company might alone offer novelty enough to
attract New Yorkers, who, like the Athenians
Of old, always crave something new. But the
chief novelty promised by Mr.. Mackaye is as
faithful an application as possible Of the prin-
ciples Of dramatic art which were discovered
and exDounded by the late Delsarte.

The British Cabinet and the Foreign
Communists in EngIand.
A HERALD special telegram from London
goes to show that the foreign revolu-
tionary element which has found shelter in
England under the designation of Communist,
is subject to the guidance either of q vulgar
and indiscreet personal leadership or of that
which flows from the individual promptings of
an uneducated feeling of levelling democracy.
The press organ of the radical s'reds,
published in the British metropolis, printed
an article on the subject Of the sickness of
the Prince of Wales and its probable fatal
result, in which the writer said, 1.-THE Prince
of Wales illness is an incident in our inter-
est" The Communist body did not wait, as it
appears, to be correctly informed concerning
the extent or severity of the malady by which
His Royal Higbness was afflicted, but has
tened to reveal the naalus aninaus which moves
the associated radicals with reference to the
monarchical system of which he is q repre-
sentative. Considering the facts that the
foreign membership of the Communist Society
in London consists for the most part
OF political refugees who have fed from
other European countries in order to escape
punishments at the hands Of their own gov
ernments for the public expression of their
opinions, and that they have found shelter
and asylum under the Crown and
Magma Charta of Britain, this conduct was,
to say the least, in very bad taste. The
Queens government regards it-as we under.
stand our special report-in this light The
Secretary of State for the Home Department
| is considering the propriety of asking Parlia-
ment for power authorizing him to expel Carl
Marx from the United Kingdom. Marks resi-
dence in London is watched by agents ol
the police. This strife between the two
powers, the English executive and the foreign
Communist and home radicals, will tend II
develop the respective strength Of each.
will be an interesting struggle, but the 'frre
sstible genius Of universal emancipation, as II
is understood 10 the British constitution, wi II,
most likely, prevail in the end, and be declared
| sufficient shield for all reasonable and healthy
| progressive reformers.

organ of the political reformers, and our citi-
zens have been assured day after day, not only
that the professed desire to prosecute the
guilty parties was pretence and sham, but
that the offences charged against the unfaith-
full city officials were Of vepal character and
probably could not be made the subject of
criminal indictments.
The full and graphic account given else
where in the HERALD of all the details con-
nected with the indictments and arrests will
render our readers familiar with the proceed
ings 80 far as they have gone. Tweed is
specially charged with felony, in having,
as alleged, audited and allowed, In his
capacity of chairman of the Board of Super
visors, a bill or bills Of Keyser Il Co. for
forty -four thousand dollars, when he knew
that such bill was fraudulent and had never
been presented to the Board, and of having
received and appropriated to his own use the
money drawn upon the warrant issued in pay
ment of such bogus account. Connolly Is
charged with gross misdemeanor in having
neglected to properly certify bill for ninety
one thousand dollars, Of Ingersoll h Co., and
of corruptly paying the same without
such auditing. The indictments were
found by Judge Bedford's Grand Jury,
and were prepared by Mr.. O'Conor. In
the case OF Tweed, who was arraigned before
Judge Bedford, the Judge made q commit
ment without bail, his reason being the same
as that assigned by him when he refused to
admit Hagerty and Baulch to bail. He
regards the offences as too grave to warrant
the Court in risking the chance of the escape
Of the accused, and sees no injustice
in refusing bail when there are no
obstacles in the way OF speedy trial.
The counsel for the prisoner Immediately pro-
cured writ Of habeas corpus aud took Tweed
before Judge Barnard, who admitted him Ia
bail in the absurdlY inadequate sum Of five

THE STAMP CAsE.-J. 9. Moon, Post.
master at Wilmington, Ohio, arrived in
our city Saturday, and fully identified the
stamps found in the possession of Frank
W. Prince, the man we spoke of as being
arrested for offering postage stamps for sale
A hearing of the case was had at the
Jail before Commissioner Jas. p. Rogers,
and Prince was held to await an order
from the Judge of the Southern District
OF Ohio. The stamps found in the pos.
session of Prince when he WINS arrested
were found to be those stolen from the
Wilmington office on the night of April
24th. Postmaster Moon was able to
swear to them, rs they were of like kind
and denomination Of those stolen, and
were wrapped in Cincinnati C5mmettidl
with his, j. Z. Moons, name upon II, as
well as number Of figures upon the mar.
gin, which he remembered placing there.
This makes a strong case against Prince.

TEACHERS AssOCIATIoN.-The Wheel
ing Teachers Association met in regular
session on Saturday last, at 10 o'clock A.
NJ, +. S. Williams, President, in the chair.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
On motion OF Mr. futile, the rule some
time since adopted, under which the
President and SeCretOry were instructed
TO report the proceedings of the Associa-
ton for publication in the city papers, was
rescinded, and an invitation extended TO
the press reporters to attend the future
meetings Of the Association.
Rev. S. Boyd, who had been appointed
to address the teachers on this occasion,
gave very interesting account Of the pub
lie schools and public school system Of
Louisville, Ky., his information regarding
thereto having been derived from recent
visit to several of the schools Of that city,
and from recent published reports OF the
Superintendent and Board OF Education.
The remarks and comments of Mr.. Boyd
were both instructive and entertaining.
The schools Of Louisville are organized
somewhat on the plan Of the Wheeling
schools, there being primary, intermedl'
ate and grammar schools similar to ours.
Besides these, however, there are two
tlourishing public high schools, the pride
Of the city, each having a full corps oil
professors and tutors. These high schools
furnish all the facilities Tor thorough ed
ucation, both scientific and classical,
which are afforded by the best colleges
and seminaries Of the country.
The Principals OF the high schools are
paid 81 500 each per annum. The Pro
lessons in these schools receive each 81
500, and the principals of the grammar
and primary schools each $1,000 The
lady teachers are paid from 800 u 5000,
Mrs, l.. l.. Monsarrat, preceptress in one
Of the high schools, receives $500, The
Superintendent is paid salary of $4,000
The German assistant superintendent
81 800. Music teachers are paid from
81 900 to 81 800. ..
In the primary and intermediate schools,
only the common English branches, vocal
music and the German language are
taught, except that L. $. history is added
to the intermediate school course.
The address Of Mr.. Boyd called forth
numerous criticisms and remarks from
several OF the teachers present Prof.
SnOwden became somewhat enthusiastic
on the salary question, and ventured the
assertion that the teachers Of Wheeling
are the worst paid teachers in the country,
1t was stated that the lady teachers OF
Wheeling some months since presented Il
petition 70 the Board Of Education, ask.
Ing an advance of salary, and that the
petition was referred to committee, in
whose hands II had been suffered to die
At least such was the supposition, since
several months had elapsed since the
matter was referred 10 the committee, and
as yet there had been no report
The chairman Of the Executive Com.
mittee announced that Mr.. Hall, princi.
pal of Centre schools, would address the
Association at the next regular meeting
and that n lady teacher would furnish Il
paper for the OCCASION Subjects not Rn.
nounCed.
On motion the Association adjourned.

ECONOMY IN THE KITCuEN.-Prudent
housekeepers are ever on the alert ia
practice economy in the culinary depart
ment. In no way can this be done more
etlectually than in the use of Baking
Powder which combines purity, strength
and reliability. DooLEY's YEAST Pow
DER has attained the deserved reputation
OF being economical, convenient and
wholesome, besides which it will produce
from a barrel Of flour twenty-five to forty
pounds more bread, rolls, &c, than by
the old process of raising dough with
bakers or hop yeast. Here alone is a
great saving, and authorizes the guarantee
that II will give entire satisfaction.
