BEFOGGED SENATORS. Georgia has more
than fair share of patriots. Already has
she elected seven of her self-sacrificiug sons
United States Senators, and the Senate
Judiciary Committee is sorely perplexed con-
cerning which two Of the seven shall be
admitted to seats in that body. 1t is said,
however, that Foster Blodgett has made his
"calling and election sure" by crowding

The BATTLE OF BAPAUME.-We publish
elsewhere full particulars of the battle of
Bapaume, from the HERALD special CORES
pondent at the headquarters of the German
General Won Goeben. We have already
spoken in reference to this battle, when the
first intelligence Of it was received here. In
the account which we publish this morning it
viii be seen that the French are rapidly
acquiring discipline and that steadiness under
fire which discipline alone can produce. It is
this which has secured for the Germans the
great results which the campaign has afforded
them an opportunity to achieve.

A WEEK OF PRAYER.-The week of prayer
assigned for the several Protestant churches
and just closed has, as we learn from our re-
ligious contemporaries, been eminently smc-
cessful. A great many persons were blessed
with heavenly light, and even spark Of con-
science was discovered in the ad lmantiDe
heart Of well known but non-professional
political city missionary. We do not how
ever, notice that the criminal record, as a
general thing, was materially diminished
during the week, nor that the demand for sack
cloth and ashes has essentially increased,

Congress Yestcrday-An Act Of Justice q
the Federal Judiciary.


The House of Representatives. while in ses-
sion yesterday as Committee of the Who lie
on the Legislative Appropriation Bill, per-
formed an act Of justice which, though too
commendation. 1t increased by two thousand
dollars year the salaries of the Chief Justice
and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court
of the United States, making the one eight
thousand five hundred dollars and the other
eight thousand dollars. A contrast between
the policy of the English government and of
the United States government in reference to
the compensation of the judiciary was drawn,
much to our own disadvantage, by Mr.. Potter, Of
New York, and by Mr.. Hoar, of Massachu-
setts A couple of New Hampshire members
opposed fariously any increase Of the
Judges salaries, and New York
member (Mr. Kelsey) seemed to fear that
the foodgates of extravaganza might thus
be thrown wide open and the vaults Of the
Treasury submerged. But the good sense Of
the House was proof against the arguments Of
the small economists, and the salaries of our
federal judges have been fixed at a figure
which, though not liberal, Is on an equality
with those of the Cabinet Ministers. An effort
will be made when the bill next comes up in
committee, which will probably be tomorrow.
to increase the compensation of the Circuit
Judges from five to six thousand dollars. In
view Of the immense fees exacted by our
leading lawyers the salaries Of our judges ap-
pear miserably incompetent. The latter
should certainly be increased to respectable
figure and some steps taken to moderate the
exorbitant demands Of the lawyers.

ANoTHKR BOGUS MURDERER.-A convict In
Auburn prison is trying to make people he
lieve that he is the Rogers murderer Of two
years ago. This mania for counterfeiting
atrocity will have some man hanged yet.
Several persons have tried to expiate under
false pretences the crime Of numbering Mr..
Nathan, and as this new impostor has had to
fall back on SO ancient horror as the Rogers
murder we suppose the Nathan mine is
about exhausted.

dimes gave him nope, DucrOt gave him hope,
Chanzy almost gave him confidence. Now the
last hope is gone-gone at the very moment
that the German forces have found themselves
able to fling shot and shell into the long
doomed city and among the impatient and
famishing citizens. When Paris falls Trochu
will have place in the hearts of the French
people which will never be given to either
Ulrich or Bazaine. Even Gambetta will be a
shade by his side when King William dictates
the terms Of peace in the Tuileries or insists
on justice in the gardens Of the Luxembourg.
We take it for granted that within few
days Paris must fall. With the powerful
Prussian Gordon around the city, and with the
Army Of the Loire completely demolished, we
can see no reason why Trochu should any
longer hold out. More than that, we know no
reason why tho famishing and long tried inhs-
bitants Of Paris should longer submit to use
less torture, or should longer make unavailing
sacrifice. The game is up; Trochu knows it;
the hour Of surrender must therefore be close
at hand Will the fall of Paris bring peace to
Europe! There are those whs think it will;
there are those who think it will not Both
parties reason well, and not on bad premises.

THE NERDICr.-The Coroner's jury,
called together for the purpose Of in
vestigating the circumstances which
led to the death of Matt. PiXley, found
from the evidence that he was killed
by a gunshot wound inflicted by wea-
pOus in the hands of Charles Jones
and Thomas Flynn. The jury holds
these TWO guilty OF the murder, II
all the other couyicts who escaped as
accessories to the crime. Isaacs seems
to have been very cool throughout the !
whole fight, and testifies that Jones
and Flynn both fired at Pixley at the
same moment, but which Of them
killed him will probably never be
known, as the two shots were fired
simultaneously, only one of them
taking effect.

at the efforts Of the Radical party to elevate
the black over the white people ofthc South.
The Age says:
1T is certainly high time to remind negroes
and their worshiPPers that the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments do not, by any rea>
sonable interpretation, put the c5Iored race

the military power; vc have seen Southern
States reconstructed 50 as to put them under
negro rule, and the very capital of the nation
Is now ruled by negroes who deny to the white
man the right to gain his bread there bv his
labor. We think most sane Republicans agree
that this thing has gone too far. The doc
