marveously fertile, so that Sugar, Molasses,
Coffee, Cocoa, &c, &C., can be produced there
in boundless quantities, and afforded on our
Atlantic seaboard at less than half the prices
we now pay for them. In short, he finds the
island, whereof we are offered twO-thirds for
nothing, a tropical paradise. He says:

THE RULERS or OUR CITY

We have again been startled by one Of
those great crimes which, at stated inter
walls, arouse us TO q realization of the ser
pents cOiled among us with fangs always
ready for action. A merchant riding in
our most public conveyance. is struck dead
by rullian for protecting two respectable
ladies from brutal insolence. And, now that
the friends are burying their dead, and the
widow and orphan are bowed down at the loss
of their protector, the community unites in
cry of horror and calls for the speedy punish
ment of the murderer. Then in few weeks
all will be forgotten till the next victim Is Sc
lected.
We would not have the cry Of horror less,
but we would have the voice of reason more
distinct. We would have n looking into the
future, and an earnest inquiry into the cause
and prevention of municipal crime. For
experience shows us that one crime will follow
another: that Mr. Nathan followed Mr.
Rogers to the grave-Mr. Putnam followed
Mr. Nathan. And the same violent end
doubtless awaits others who arc to-day not
dreaming of it.
The existence Of evil minded men in crowded
cities is unfortunately, inseparable from our
civilization. The safety OF the community Is
only insured by a system of checks and pun
ishments which should in the first place
render the possibility of evil doing less; in
the next, make tho evil dOcr suffer for his
action Our police supply the one; our courts
the other. 1t is thus at once evident how
completely both should be removed from the
influence of every form of corruption; how
entirely fearless and independent they should
be in all their actions.
Yet what is their condition This city is
ruled by Tammany Hall. Every department

1t seems to be thought something remarkable that
Dir. Willde Collins should produce as drama that
which he means subsequently to publish as q novel
We heartily wish that writer whose powers Of con-
structing and developing plot are hardly equaled
by any living English writer would do
his best TO give us play without any
notion Of afterward subiecting il TO the nara
tive transmogrhcation. The playwright is necesss-
rily more a good novel-manufacturor than an
accomplished shipbuilder is a dexterous house-car-
penter. The difference is that Of telling story in
three or five acts, or in two or three volumes. He
who works for the stage must husband his resources
must be adept in limiting at more than is said in
the dialogue or displayed in the action; while the
novelist works at his leisure, passes from story TO
cOloquy at will, and has the immense advantage Of
informing us beforehand what kind Of man woman
is shortly to be introduced He may amplify at his
pleasure and has unlike the dramatist tho privi-
leges Of episode and digressiOn.

The Supreme Court yesterday announced de-
cisions in the Legal Tender act and other
cases of less public importance. The formal
announcement of the back-actiOn of the
Court Oh the question of the consutu-
tionality of the Legal Tender act, as
applied 10 contracts made before the
war, does not differ from that which we have
already Published. 1t is a decision in the in
terests of the great railroad companies, and 1t
has been reached through the instrumentality
of their former paid advocates and stOckhold-
ers now or the bench. The first conclusion of
tho Court has been hastily reversed, but it will
not be as easy to restore the public respect
and reverence for the tribunal which this de-
cision has sacrificed.

The two branches of the Boston City Government
are at loggerheads about matter of the most tre-
mendous Importance. The Common Councillors.
desiring some outward and visible sign of their dig
nifty, appropriated ST. for badges to be affixed to
their coats. The grave Aldermen, regarding this as
bit of reprehensible vanity, refused to concur and
as the badgemoney is included in the General Appro-
priaton so far as it relates TO the contingent fund.-
the difference of opinion here became awkward.
There have been Conference Committees, but these
after the most strenuous and exhausting debates.
have settled nothing. There is no reason why q
Common Councilman should not, if he pleases,
the full uniform of MajOr-General but there is no
reason either why the public should pay for it.

Marshal MacMahon did not follow up the
advantage gained on Saturday before Fort
d'Issy, possibly not having perceived it in
time. The engagement which followed on
Sunday did not result, as anticipated in the
capture OF the fort, but ended at nightfal
with o summons to surrender. From the fact
that this demand was made at the close of
the struggle it is TO be inferred that MacMahon
smcceeded in getting his batteries into posi-
lion. and was prepared, III the event of refusal
TO surrender to lombard the fort The parley
lasted all Sunday night, when the Commun-
ists having resolved on further defense, the
borobardment was resumed on Monday NOM
ing. The result has not yet been stated. 1t
is asserted that in this operation MacMahon
has used Krupp's cannon, borrowed from the
Germans, and TO oppose which the Commuh-
lists have nothing worthy to be called artll-
lery. II is not impossible that this story may
be true. The Germans certainly display their
good will toward the Versailles Government
whenever occasion offers, and their kind offices
may extend to the loan of their superior
weapons AS a stronger evidence OF THIS gOOd
will, Prince Bismarck has again extended the
time for carrying out the treaty stpulatlons, but
has accompanied the concession with strong
hint TO NJ Theirs that the authority of the
RepubIic must soon be established in Paris, or
the Germans will take charge of the refractory
city in their own name, and to secure their own
Interest," This urgency of the Germans Will,
of course, affect the military operations OF
MacMahon, and perhaps impel him to enter
prises Of little promise and much danger.
