We read, not with surprise, but with indig-
nation, the following paragraphs in the Albany
dispatches of journal that has always tenderly,
and often theoretically, supported the Tam
many Ring:
The Legislature has entirely recovered from the terri
bic excitement into which thrown yesterday by

need at least two powerful boats strong enough 10
defy the shock Of ice-foes, however firm, and with
steam-power to force their way speedily and surely
through the heaviest Instructions. Yesterday the
ice was especially troublesome. Boats from Full
tOn-st were often more than half an hour in
crossing, and then it was chance that they
would land mile away from their slips. These
minor ann0yances. but may easily be remedied by
putting on boats fitted to cope with ice and current
distractions. Some time since vessel was cut
through By the ice and sunk. The people on board
escaped we believe; but by their own exertions and
not from any care of the authorities. There ought
TO be a constant patrol Of the rivers by boats that
would defy ice aud tde-boats far stronger and with
much greater horsepower than are now afoat.
Several years ago a steamboat was constructed for
canal navigation with a view to avoiding the
wash that the wheels of steamboats, usually pro
duce II was driven by two propellcrs, both IN tho
bow. She went up the Erie Canal during the FOL
lowing Winter cutting her way through the ice and
liberating all the boats that had been frozen in for
the season. The blades Of the two propelerS cut tho
ice between them to pieces as the boat moved for
ward. It seems probable that this expedient might
be adopted to advantage in the construction OF yes
sells specially intended for use while there Is ice IN
our haTbOr.

Public feeling has been outraged Of late IN

Senator Wilson agrees with Mr.. Bayard in
thinking the report of the Commissioner on
Education something of a romance. But while
the indignant Delawarian looks upon it as a
dismal satire on the institutions of his beloved
State, the gentleman from Massachusetts init
mates that it is an enlivening fiction with
regard to all the States. In plain verbs, he
saws it represents, or misrepresents, more
favorably than it deserves the entire school
Kystem. Then, why publish it What the
rountry wants is not flattery, but the plain,
nnvarnished facts about its institutions. What
these facts are the Commissioner, no less than
tbe country. is now entitled to have eluci-
dated.

The announcement of NapOleOn's manifesto
10 the French electors was received with
indifference; its full text, which we now print,
would excite only laughter did it not, by its
insulting assumptions and assertions, arouse
indignation or contempt. The false and guilty
Empire accusing the weak and foolish Repub-
tic of usurpation in decreeing its downfall,
and of ruin and blOodshed in prosecuting the
war entailed upon it by the dynasty is almost
too absurd for serious consideration. The re-
assertion of the Empire as the only Govern
ment able to restore industry, concord, and
peace, was conceived in mere spirit of bravm'P

treats and with appeal for the warmth of popular
sympathy which is absolutely touching. "Of all the
hard labor performed by man, there is nothing
demanding greater toll greater exposure of health

would be cruel to thrill our readers nerves too in

Naturally there is a laudable ambition among tho
rufians of Philadelphia to occupy the throne left
vacant by the departed laggerty. Mr. Robert Lister
Smith has so far succeeded in pushing his claims
that the Mayor and police of that polite corporation
have already sent in their allegiance. They have
found it wisc5t for years to succumb gracefully to
the Head Center Of Rufiianism. Mr. Smith assumed
the purple the other day by doing TO death bar
keeper who had the temerity 10 differ with him.

The remarkable case of Father Farrell, as
rccited by correspondent in another column,
will attract wide attention. 1t is alleged that
he has been removed from his church solely
because of his letter expressing sympathy
with the meeting at the Academy of Music
in honor of Italian Unity. Avoiding, as we
do habitually, the discussion of questions
of sectarian faith, we cannot neglect an ex-
preston OF sincere regret that the consollda-
ton of long distracted Nation and the sub
stantial gain to popular liberty secured by the
extension of its parliamentary government
should be so odious to any Of our citizens that
to rejoice over these civil triumphs is to for
felt ones religious standing among them.

The anxiety about the Tennessee increases
daily without any new or good reasons there
for developing themselves. The delay in hear
ing from her is reasonably accounted for by
the fact that intercourse between San Domingo
and Havana, the nearest Geographic station, IS
infrequent and Irregular. While it is impossl-
bic not to be nervous regarding her safety,
there is no occasion for despair, and no excuse
for unduly exciting the public mind as some
Of the naDcrS are doing.

Sir John Rose declines to serve on the

less acceptable and unexpected than the late
announcement that the Commission itself had

An awful warning to scolding wives
comes to US from Milwaukee. a wo-
man in that city was "jawing" her chill
dren, the neignbors, hired girl, and
everybody in general, when her hus-
band entered and interposed kind
word. She opened her mouth for an
angry reply but spasm contracted her
cheek, her lower jaw fell. and she could
neither speak nor shut her mouth, but
remained in that condition, her tongue
hung out, and her eyes nearly started
out of their sockets. She had dislocated
her jawbone in her violent attempt to
make singing reply to her husband.
A surgeon was called who reduced the
dislocation, bound up her jaw and pre-
scribed cruel diet The old man is
now enjoying the quietest time he has
had for years
