YORK.
lFrom the N Y. World
We fancy there is no very great reason for
this apprehension. II the Court Of Special SEES
sions was not lawful tribunal in these cases.
then those convicted in it were never legally
tried. II never legally tried, what is to prevent
their being tried now One lawful trial where
there has been an acquttal or conviction, may
forbid another lawful trial for the came offence;
but where there has been no lawful trial at all,
but only the similitude OF trial, does that for
bid inquiry into an alleged otfense9 To say that
man must not be tried because he has not been
tried is nonsense.
MIR. GREELEYs TERaIvERsAroNs.
From the N. Y. Timesl
Mr.. Greeley already finds that the feat of ri
ding two horses is attended with some inconve-
niences. On Saturday he signed declaration
of which the following was a leading "princi-
ple:' Federal taxation should be imposed for
revenue, and so adjusted as to make the burden
upon the industry of the country a. light a. pos
sible.' He now says "In signing the letter to
Col, Grosvenor,w we simply indicated our approval
OF the Cincinnati movement, not Of epsiy phrase
embodied in that letter." Was there ever 80 lame
an attempt made by any rational man to shuttle
out OF his avowed opinions Does Mr.. Greeley
call an express declaration in favor of the MIS-
souri, platform phrase
THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.
[From the N. Y. Tribune.l
II seems like very modest boast, but the
fact that il can be confidently made and impIc-
lilly trusted shows that the condition of France
is, after all. not sc precarous as many have
appeared to imagine. There is peace within
her borders perfect quiet and order in the
cities and in the country the nation is meeting
all its obligations as fast as they arrive, and
even anticipates in one important particular, the
maturity OF her obligations. The army is in
splendid condition according to the statement
OF Mr.. Thlers. He has 1870, 900 men full y trained
| and equipped, ready to take the field at mo-
ments warning. He anticipates no trouble
from any foreign power but wishes to be- ready
for any contingency.
LET THE PRESIDENT De SUSTAINED IN HIS CAM
PAlGS AGAINST THE wHIsKKY RING.
From the N Y. Herald.l
With these events patent, so patent that not
to know them is to be ignorant Of one OF the
most striking and shameful chapters in our re.
| cent history what course has the President but
| to pursue the frauds and punish their authors {;
| We are not desirous OF seeing our citizens in
trouble. 1t is no pleasure for us to see men of
wealth and standing summoned to the bar of
| Justice But We insist that Justice be done, and
| that the President be sustained in doing 1t, and
if men have wealth by reason of their frauds
upon the revenue. and standing only because the
| circumstances under which they amassed wealth
are not known, let them be indicted with their
humber partners in guilt.
THE ALABAMA CLAIMS SETTLEMENT AND ITS En-
| feet UPON ENGLAND.
II. ON the N. Y Herald
| The United States will not recede from their
case, and Her Majesty's government will uti-
mately acknowledge the principle OF indirect
claims, because it is 80 written in the protocol Of
| the Joint High Commission Nor will there be
from this settlement any Of those dreadful re-
suits fraught with the utmost dangers to Eng
land which are apprehended by the highly
imaginative author OF - LothAir." The danger
to England lies in the other direction. The set
tlement indicated will establish the bonds and
blessings of peace between her and the United
States. The rejection Of tho treaty in a final
refusal to recognize the American case may re-
suit in war, and war between the United States
and England will open the gates Of Windsor
Castle to Mr.. Bradlaugh and his republicans and
will make Sir Charles Dixie leader IN the House
