should The Times insist upon securing special
privileges for the publisherf The British de-
mand amounts in reality to this In order to
protect the London printer; type-founder, and
paper we must give them control OF
our markets as well az their own, and compel
English authors TO choose between an En-
glish and American publisher, but forbid
them to deal with both. Copyright is based
upon the principle that every man has the
same right to the product Of his intellect
as to the product of his manual labor. We
recognize that right when we pay the English
author for the book which We reprint. But
the publishers right to the exclusive sale Of a
work which he has undertaken rests upon
different principle. 1t is not a natural right;
it is a privilege created by statute, and limited
as to time and place. To say that an author
should derive no profit from the creations OF
his brain would be essentially unjust. There
is no injustice, however, in defining certain
conditions under which that profit may be
enjoyed, and there is certainly no injustice in
refusing to grant the bookseller a monopoly of
dealing in an authors literary wares on both
sides of the ocean.
Before Congress meets, bill should be care
fully prepared to give foreign authors right
of property in all their works republished In
America, without at the same time giving the
foreign publisher any other rights in our mar
ket than he already possesses. We believe
that way can be found to protect the creator
of intellectual wealth without at tie same time
Gripping our book manufacturing interest,
though the problem of course is embarrassed
with some difficulties. An exchange OF the
centre benefits" of copyright between the two
countries is not required as a measure of
honesty, and would certainly be distasteful to
the American people. 1t would be something
worse than Free Trade it would be an in
version of the policy of Protection. running

COPYRIGHT.

Among all the letters and newspaper COM
ments called forth by the revival of the inter-
national copyright question in London, we
have seen nothing so clear and just as the
communication from Mr.. William H. Appleton
to The London Times. which we reprinted the
other day. Mr.. Appleton explains the whole
difficulty in the way of a copyright conven-
ton when he distinguishes between the rights
of publishers and the rights Of authors; and
The Times gives US an accurate measure of the
superior English virtue of which we have
heard 30 much, when it cOnfesses that pro-
lection to British intellect will not be accept
able unless it be coupled with free trade for
British manufactures. The discussion thus far
in the English papers has been kept up prin-
cipally by the publishers. The latest we have
heard from are Messrs. Sampson Low,
Marston e. Co., who quote with approval the
proposal of Mr.. Daddy, that Great Britain shall
exchange the entire benefits Of the English
copyright laws for the entire benefits of
American copyright laws, unclogged by re-
manufacture, or any other protective stipu-
"lation y and add: /" 1t being granted that
authors have natural right to the product

Quoting the Austro- Hungarian Monarchy on a
Hungarian policy, at least 80 far as foreign
affairs are concerned. Some intimation as to
what this policy will be may be gathered
from the two facts that Hungary, from terri
torial considerations, is liable to be placed in
antagonism with Russia, and that the leaders
of the Magyars favor friendly relations with
Germany. We are not told, however, whether

vited Mayor Hall to attend one of their
meetings, and explain the charges of fraud

sharp answer, refusing the invitation and
denying the right of the association to ar
raign him. Mr.. Foley's rejoinder is pub
lished in the New York papers. lie accuses
the Mayor of evasion, and says : "But we
are not thus to be trifled with. Further
concealment of the city and county ac-
counts will not be tolerated.
"The little we already know makes it the
imperative duty Of every citizen to do what
in him lies to have the whole truth dis

MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF A LADY IN
GEoRGIA.-A singular murder is report
ed to have been committed at the residence
of Mr.. Joseph Davis, in Bullock county,
Ga, on the 9th INST, particulars of which
the Savannah Republican gives as follows !:
"About O'Clock Wednesday morning the
inmates of Mr.. Davis house were alarmed
by the loud screams of his wife. Her sis
ter ran to the room and found Mrs. Davis
sitting on the bed. AS soon as she enter
cd the room Mrs. Davis said: Il am bleed
ing to death; run out and call some of the
neighbors, after which she sank down on
the bed a liieless corpse. On examination
it was found that some one had cut her
throat, and, from the nature of the wound,
il is thought that it was inflicted with a
pockct-kniie, which was afterwards found
in a tub of water in the yard. At the
time the wound was inflicted Mrs. Davis
was sleeping in the bed with her two little
children. Her husband was from home on
a fishing frolic, and the sad news of this
tragedy was startling and unexpected. Nc
one can account for the outrage, nor can il
be even surmised who was the cowardly
perpetrator." ls G-rst,.

The Mask Torn OT-A Priest of iomicidal
Tastcs-His Trial and Punishment.
Correspondence of the N. Y. World.

Correspondence of the N. Y. World
Rome, Aug. LIN the Convent of San
Flippo Neni, on Saturday last, man named
Luigi Santini, who has been Franciscan
monk in the Convent of Civitella, but who
was on the point of being degraded and un-
frocked by his superiors at the time he
committed the crime to be described, was
tried before the civil court for the murder
of q lay brother, Vinccnzo Nicolini, on the
22d of September last, two days after the
Italian troops had entered Rome. This
murderer had been in the convent for two
years, but was not priest. Before be
coming monk he had been made a mason,
and when exercising that trade had already
undergone three criminal trials-one for
defamation, another for threatening lam
guage, the third for wounding. With this
preparation for religious life he entered
the franciscan monastery in 1868, and
managed so completely to worm himself
into the good opinion of the superior that
in a very short time he was appointed trea-
surer Of the establishment.
From time to time, however, his fierce,
sanguinary character revealed itself, and
the other monks were very careful of Civ
ing him offence, from a vague, underlined
suspicion that he was capable of any act of
violence. He appeared, indeed, to have
largely developed the organ of destructive
ness, for the other monks who appeared in
the witness-boX deposed that he had more
than once declared that before throwing of
bis gown he intended to kill somebody.
This intention appears TO have assumed a
still more positive form a few days before
the murder; for Santini, who had been
ordered to sharpen the knives previous to
the fete day, the 22d September, was heard
to eyclaim, whilst engaged in the work
"How famously these knives will now rip
up somebody" The fete day arrived, and
for a monk of such homicidal tastes the
"somcbody" was sure not to be wanting.
He was found in the person of the unlortu-
nate lay brother, Vmcenzo Niccolina, be-
tween whom and Santin a slight alterca-
ton arose at the moment the former was
carrying handful of rolls-an alteration
speedily brought to a close by three plunges
of the knife, which, on the following day
led to the victims death. - p
When questioned as to the cause, inme-
dately after the murder, the assassin re-
fused to furnish any explanation, and only
replied to the father superior and the Other
monks in these words: ''The job is done
you may now take off my gown, and l'l
make my way to the Garibaldians or tho
brigands. na.However, neither the Garibal.
dians nor the brigands were to be honored
by this addition to their ranks, because The
monks kept firm hold of Luigi Santini unit
the arrival of the carbineers, to whom they
at once handed him over. -, t .....
The crime was so clearly proved by th'
testimony of the other monks placed in th'
witness-box that no doubt could for a mo
ment exist as to the character of the YER
dict, and the accused was sentenced tC
twenty years. Imprisonment with hare
labor.

GALVANIZED IRON TELEGRAPH
PoLEs.-The Philadelphia Leelger has the
following: .....-s .,.... ......-.
"The directors Of some of the principal
railroad and telegraph lines have had a
model of galvanized iron pole submitted
to them which combines the useful and
ornamental. The new invention is designed
more especially for country lines, but has
so many advantages over the old wooden
pole that managers of the leading city
lines have decided to use it. The new pole
is constructed so that it can be packed sec
ton within section, telescope-fashion, and
can be shipped to distant points with great
facility, and at moderate rate. For pole
fifteen feet out of the ground, suitable for a
country line, the first section is three inches,
the second section is two and a half inches,
and the third one ard quarter. Nc
lightning-rods are required with the iror
mole. Two of the new poles have been put
.up in this city and tested by an electrician
who says that they always insure perfec
current, and strongly recommends them fol
hoth city and country lines. In Prussl;
and other parts of Europe iron telegraph
poles are used exclusively"
