The very striking contrast between the
charge of Judge Paine in the Galentine muir
der trial at Cleveland, which was concluded
yesterday by conviction, and the rulings OF Re-
corder Hackett in a notorious case in this city,
Will attract the attention not merely of lawyers
but of the whole law-abiding community, who
will form their own opinions from the facts
before them as to the character of each Judge
and the sanction of his rulings. Judge Paine
Beems to be incapable of comprehending the
theory of mOmentary insanity, and the jury,
agreeing with him, sent the man who muir

State PenitentiaTy.

Yesterday was partly devoted in the Senate
20 the consideration of one of several of the
subsidy schemes which their OriginatOrs
attempt to dignity by dcnOminating measures
"to restore American commerce." forget
ting entirely that it is commerce which
builds up and enrches steamship com
panies, and not steamers which develop
the commerce of nations. Few of these
schemes have much chance of success, we are
glad to say, for most of them are private
speculative enterprises, of which the country is
asked to assume all the risk without being
allowed any fraction of the possible prospect
i've profits. We publish on our second page
q full exposition of the principal of these sub
Idy schemes, and the candid reader will find
therein little TO commend.

NJ. Gambettas branch of the French Gov
eminent announces the escape of the greater
part of Bourbaki's late army into Switzerland.
Ii is intimated that Gen. Manteuffel refused to
recognize the Armistice as binding on him,
and pushed the French upon neutral soil. NJ.
Gambetta was evidently not aware, as Man
teufiel doubtless knew, that the Armistice did
not go into effect in the provinces until noon
on Jan. 81, and the flight of the French
clearly took place before that time. The con-
sent of the Swiss commander was Obtained
before the frontier was passed by Bourbai'S
successor, but the conditions annexed are not
known. OF course, the French are to be dis
armed, and will remain in Swiss environments
as prisoners, but it is not at all certain that

HOW SHOULD I'VE DEAL WITH LIARSf
This is practical question. 1t cannot be
disposed of by merely negative criticism.
You lack courtesy says one caviler. Well
admit it, and let the proper rebuke be admin
istered. Then the question recurs, "Was the
assertion 80 traversed truth, misconcep-
"ton OF palpable hef And, If a lie, is there
mo rebuke for the liar 7 If he deserves re-
"buke who says of o liar that he lies, must
mot he who lies deserve some sort of repre-
"hensiOnf" We appeal 10 reason and com
mon sense.
THE TRIBUNE attempted, some days since
to set forth the political leaning of each State
at its last election, with the number of Elec-
toral Votes that State would be entitled to cast
for President, assuming that the basis of
representation fixed under the Ninth Census
should be 10000 inhabitants. We made no
prophecies, but expressly stated that these
figures indicated what had been in 1869 and
1870, not what would be in 1872. Yet The
Albany Argus sees fit to comment as follows !:

AN IRATE DEFENDER or ERIE

An aggrieyed and irate French serylt0r
of the magnates of the Erie Directory recently
wrote us note expressing his ardent desire
(but for his gray bars), to cowhide the Editor OF
TIE TRIBUNE, and closed his affectiOnate epis-
tie with the statement that he did MT want to
have mis- name printed as that might involve
him in some trouble On our suggestion that
this last might be considered in the light of what
Artcmus Ward was fond of designating as
sarkasum," the chiyalric person wrote again,
representing in a letter we recently had the
honor Of laying before our readers, his earnest
desire to meet those aides de comp" of the
Editor who might be dealt with instead Of
him for the Ofiense done the Erie magnates.
We merely replied that the "aides de comp"
could be found about the Office almost any fine

Fame soon wears itself out in these days.
When Father Hyacinthe walked out OF his
convent because he could not bear the restIlc-
tons which Rome laid upon his liberty OF
speech, he became in day almost as cele-
brated as the Pope himself. To be sure he
had done nothing more than scores oil monks
had done before, and scores will do after him,
and his little rebellion, when you came to look
Mt it, was not such a significant thing as the
world at first supposed. Still for awhile he
was the most famous priest in Europe. Now
he makes a new protest. and though it is
almost as bold as Luther's it is hardly heard,
and few even could tell from what quarter of
the world he speaks. He appeals to the
bishops of Christendom for Catholic reform

Mr.. Sanford f. Cburcl's calculations OF
what will be the needs of New-York for steam
transportation at the end of the present de-

the strongest arguments we have seen IN Ia
vor of the early construction of some under
ground railway. A fall abstract of his speech
is published on our second page, and we COM
mend it to readers as instructive on question
upon which the NewYork public sadly needs
education We do not, of course, subscribe to
what Mr.. Church says about the rropriety OF
the City building the road which half score
of companies stand ready to undertake; our
commentator is confined solely to the argyll
ments which he advances for the road. We
believe there are many better ways Of build
ing n road than as a municipal job.

4 LESSON.


Several Republican Assembly districts saw
fit to return Democrats to the present Assem-
bv Of our State In some instances, we know
that this was the result of direct appeals TO
Republicans to vote for a neighbOr and friend
whom they personally esteemed and trusted,
regardless of their political differences. OF
those Democrats so elected by Republican votes
and representing Republican districts, the fol-
lowing voted to keep Mr. TwOmby out of the
seat to which he was elected and perpetuate
the usurpation thereof by John Carey, namely
James G. Bennett, of Steuben County;
Richard ID. Cole, of Monroe County;
lillian {. Coon, Of Schuyler County;
Charles Curtis of Cayuga County,
IsaiGh FhlLer, of Saratoga County,
Duncan Griffin of Warren County;
.1bram Hone, of OswegO County;
Henry s. Jey of Wyoming County;
George d. Lord, of Monroe County;
George ". Nicholas of Ontario County;
Laurence OBrien, Of New-York City;
Henry S. Randall of Cortland County.
Here are twelve Democrats, chosen by Re-
publican votes to represent Republican districts,
who voted that the Republican elected from the
With District of this City should be excluded
from his seat and his defeated Democratic com
petitOr should fill it. Before they are so chosen
again, their constituents will require an ex-
PLANTATION of this vote.
