er SO pleasantly alluded to by the Press
They are saying it is time for improve
ment, and time to punish crime. Viewed
in this aspect, we regard Judge Abell's
refusal to bail Hogan rs significant. We
do not believe that because a man is a
criminal he has mo rights which should
be respected. But when prisoner and
his counsel create embarrassments to a
trial, they are clearly not entitled to base
n claim to be bailed On the ground of de-
lay in the trial This won't do So if
there is no better claim than this, the
unfortunate Mat. must content himself
with the song of Sterne's imprisoned star
ling, while the community are relieved
from the fearful apprehensions so Justly
entertained when this character is known
to be at large.

Governor Clayton seems determined
not to go the United States Senate from
Arkansas, unless he is convinced of some
thing. He has been officially advised to
decide, and this is what he says, Il shall
not decline the position to which have
been elected, unless I should be convin-
ced thai the interests of the whole people
would be best subserved by retention
of the Executive Chair" The popular
branch of the Legislature and the Gov
ernOr are at issue; they want to get rid
of him and he wants to stay. The con-
flict threatens to become exceedingly bit
ter, and We would not be surprised if the
Governor concluded ultimately that 'the
interests of the whole people demand his
retention of the Executive Chair" the
Representatives of the people might sue
cessfully impeach him.

THE WA r.

The fears of the renewal of hostilities
between France and Prussia, at the ex-
piration of the almistice, are happily
dispelled. Indeed in her present bewil-
derment humiliation and crippled con-
dition, it seems impossible that France
could take the field Immediately against
the legions of the "Conquering hero"
Emperor William. The ministers con-
Quoting the negotiations for peace, are
reported to have arrived at conclusions
which will satisfy the dictates of the vic
tor. and to which the vanquished must
submit. France will have to pay to Ger
many $4,000 thalers, besides ceiling
Metz and Nancy to Germany. To-day
was fixed on for the triumphal marching
through Paris of the Germans, but tele-
graphic reports say this will not be done.
Tomorrow the Emperor will leave the
army for Berlin.

+. HATHAWAY HONE FOR THE POOR AND

cOgnomen of n charitable institution Just
incorporated in this city. 1t is founded
by Elisha Hathaway, Esq, of Rhode Is
land, well known philantlropist, whose
bowels of compassion have been NOV
cd by his observation of the utterly des-
titute condition of thousands of orr poor
and fricndlcss throughout the Southern
States. This old and generous friend of
our race has donated to this institution
which is to bear his naHcc, So, 600 which
will be expended in the construction or
purchase of suitable buildings. The poor
of our people will "call him blessed The
design Of the Homo is to furnish school
of industry for poor girls, home for
fricndless children and the aged, and a
medical dispensary, where the poor can
have free medical advice and medicine.
The Home" is entrusted to q Board of
Administrators, among whom are AIessrs.

No institution is more demanded by the
circumstances of our unfortunate and
neglected, poor whose previous condi-
ton" untitled them to enter on free
and independent life umaided, and in the
face of the bitter and relentless opposi-
ton which their enemies manifest. But
apart from this consideration, it must be
remembered that in the constitution of
society it is decreed that "the poor shall
never go ont of the land;" and Provi-
dence directs care for them, and pron,is-
es special dignities to those who Gre
member the poor" Our white folks
abound in charitable institutions for their
poor and friendless of every description,
while ours are wholly uncared for, and
left to the cold and occasional sparks of
| charity which for moment may excite
onr sympathy. The liberality of Mr..
Hathaway, i'll providing in this city a
place worthy of the name of "HoME,"
for the destitute, will cntlcar his memory
to our people in proportion as they re-
ccivc the benefits of it. We are glad to
| find that the Committee on Charitable
Institutions have recommended it for
State aid, with others of similar objects.
BY i'll means let it be generally aided,
and it will be an ornament to our city,
and a great bcnefaction to the poor and
fricndless of our people.
