JOSEPHINE McCARTY, who killed Henry
81. Hall, In the attempt to shoot her para
mour, M. 81. Thompson, in Utica street
car, has been acquitted by the jury, amid the
'9tumultuous applause" Of the spectators in
the court room. Her acquittal, under the
circumstances, was to have been expected,
but the "tumultuous applause" marks a
very dangerous condition Of the public mind
touching this too familiar crime of murder.
There was not single redeeming feature in
the case of this bad woman to justify it. In
her blind rage and murderous longing, she
slew an innocent man, and brought unspeak-
able misery to an unoffending household.
Let those who gave this ''tumultuous ap-
plause" put themselves in the place Of the
bereaved ones, if they would understand
Alright the atrocity of such manifestation.
How can we hope to stem the torrent Of crime
in face of the laws bubbles and such a state
of the public mind as this ?-New York Com
snereidl Advertiser.

The French Assembly.

Paris, May 2l.-In the sitting of the Nation
al Assembly this afternoon Mr.. Rouher spoke
nearly three hours on a motion to interrogate
the government as to its intentions with regard
70 war contracts The speech was listened to
with the deepest interest and frequently inter
rupted by applause. M. Rouher disclaimed any
intention OF provoking a controversy. He de-
tended General Polikao from the charges made
against his administration of affairs as minis
ter OF war and urged that the members of the
government, not the government collectively,
should be held responsible for their acts.
ma The French Assembly.
VERSAILLES, May 22.-In the Assembly to-
day debate on the Interpolation of the gov
ernment with regard to war contracts was con-
tinued. Audiffret Pasquier replied with sever
lty to M, Rouher and vindcated his own ex-
posure OF the corruptions under the Empire.
he vigorously denounced Napoleon, and called
on the Empire in the language of Augustus. to
restore to France her provinces and her glory
The members of the Assembly and crowds in
the galleries were greatly excited and repeated
bursts of enthusiasm. Pr
M. Rouher followed with a speech of two
hours duration, which was listened to with i'm
patience and is pronounced unequal to the oc-
caSion.
Gambetta then made violent and bitter at
tack ON the Empire. The audience was re-
markably quiet, and although deep interest was
manifested the speaker received little or no ap-
plause. With Gambetta's speech the debate
closed and the sitting was adjourned.
