HNarrOw Escape.r7on Thursday morning
last, Rice's stage, having in it eight passen-
gers, narrowly escaped being run over by
the cars at the railroad crossing, near the
mill. The train was seen coming, but was
supposed to be a freight until the lead hor-

cred to be the 'fFast Line" East, which
was some hours late, and was running at
frightful rate of speed. There was just
time TO draw the horses around off the
track where they were hold by some rail
road employees, when the train rushed
past. Had the driver attempted to urge
his horses forward, or hesitated moment
in taking the course he did, terrible aeci-

BRIBERY.

Mr.. Merriam introduced into tho House of
Representatives, last Monday, bill "to punish
" bank, insurance, State and Government off,
"cials for bribery and cOrruptiOn.' No doubt
it was well intended, and if it had been entitled
q bill to prevent the punishment OF bribery
and corruption, it would have been more ap-
propriately named. 1t imposes penalty of a
fine not exceeding $4,000, imprisonment for at
least one year and at most three years, aud
perpetual disqualification for Office under the
United States upon any officer guilty of tho
Offense against which the bill is directed. and
it seems to cover pretty well those inaidious
varieties Of bribery which arc usually con-
cealed under cover Of subscription to
stock, or loan. or some other legtti-
mate business transaction.
Thus far tho bill 10 good one but the fourth
section defeats the preceding three by laying
upon the officers of corporations rendering bride
q still heavier penalty than is enacted for the

It seems that Gov. Scott of South Carolina
felt strong enough in the Legislature to press
to o vote the question of impeachment which
was hanging over him. In this issue several
other officials, whose financial operations have
been very large, were also interested, and all
combined to defeat any steps taken to bring
any of them to punishment. The result is the
failure to impeach the Governor by vote of
&c to &c. How far the Governor, Treasurer,
Financial Agent, and other officers are re-
sponsible for tho vast thefts which have been
committed in the State has never yet been
clearly shown. In the interest of good gov
eminent. it is to be hoped that failure to i'm
peach Gov. Scott does not mean failure to
convict the guilty.

voluminous foreign correspondence forms a
noticeable and attractive feature in THE TRIB-
UNE to-day. Among these letters will be found
one from our Regular London Correspondent,
giving new details of the illness of the Prince
of Wales and the growth of Republicanism in
England. A correspondent at st. Petersburg
relates some curious facts concerning the Rus
sian army and It's morale. which will attract
attention; the exhibit is not encouraging to
Russian plans for a foreign war. From Rome
we have once more the story of the opening
of the Italian Parliament by Victor Emanuel
and tho attendant ceremonies and rejOicngs.

The French Minister for Foreign Affairs does
not like the tone of the reply made by the
King of Italy when asked to recall the Che
Waller Nigra, Italian Ambassador at Paris.
The Chcvalier was obnoxious to the French
Government on account of his lmpeIjalist
proclvities aud intrigues. And now the ltal-
ian Minister Of War, in o speech in ParIia-
mcnt, finds occasion to speak seriously Of the
probabilities of war with France, though he
does not consider such calamity imminent.
But, though there is no special reason to OK
pect war, MIR. Viscontis explanation of his
present case of mind is inconsclaential. Ma.
lions like France do not always mfrail from
rushing into war simply because peace is their
hest DOlicy.

many thieves did not spare even tho funds

there are charitable organizations to relieve it.
But these are the simple facts stated by tho

and whose business it is to know what amount
of want exists. They have no means
now of relieving it. Many children,

We may hone we are approaching s0h
ton of two or three questions which have
clouded tho relations Of our Government with
Spain for some timc past. The Florida has
at last sailed for home and received the not
unexpected insult of blank cartridge and an
examination from Spanish man-of-war cx-
crcising beligcrent rights in time of peace.
The Hornet still lies at Port au-Prince, watched
by the Zaragoza. But lucid interval seems
to have come to the Spanish officers there
which has induced them to send their
Consul ashore, and to refer tho case
of the Hornet to the decision of the
Governments at Washington and Madrid. At
the same time that we announce the apparent
termination of tho acute symptoms Of these
annoying incidents, we call especial attention
to the letter from our Washington correspondent
giving q full and clear presentation Of the
Cuban view Of the action Of our Government
and the attitude of tho Spanish, or rather
Volunteer, authorities in the Island. OF course,
we cannot permit the Cubans any more than
tbe Spanisrds to dictate our policy; but
we may derive some advantage from
seeing precisely what they desire, and
what they claim. community lying
