General Trochu aud His Libel suit.

A very interesting trial Is now going on in
Paris. The Figaro, as some of olv readers
will remember made itself conspicuous some
time ago by its merciless attacks on General
Trochu. The General brought against the
newspaper an action for libel. The trial has
commenced, and it is now creating very con-
siderable excitement in the French capital.
among the witnesses examined already were
Count Palikao, ex-Ministers Chevreau, Vuitry,
Magne and Rouher, ex-President Schneider,
NJ Pietr and the Marquis of Andelarre
General Trochu has himself been examined,
and in the course of his evidence he sought to
prove that his honor had been attacked. M.
Vtu, the author of the articles complained OF,
pleads good faith in writing what he wrote.
We all remember how General Trochu was
sent back by Napoleon to take charge of
Paris, and how he found it convenient, if not
necessary, to take part with the government
of the 4th Of September. The testimony given
at the trial only proves this. The question
uppermost in most minds no doubt is,
What else could General Trochu do? There
are many who will say that General Trochu
would have acted more wisely if he had re-
Trained from taking any action in the matter
But the General has right to take care of
his own honor; and it is the opinion OF many
not incompetent to judge that this trial is in
tended to bring about certain important po-
litical results. The newspaper must not be
denied the right to comment freely on the
actions of public men. On the other hand,
however, public men must be allowed to
judge when, under newspaper attacks, it is no
longer safe for them to remain silent France
is now angry with the men who had power
during the period Of her recent disasters.
With the exception of MacMahon all the great
men of the empire are in disgrace. Some of
them have been tried, and some of them have
trials in prospect. The sooner France ceases
to blame individuals for her trouble the bet
ter The national disaster, which began at
Woerth and Weissembourg and reached it's
climax at Sedan, was the result of some ma
tional weakness. Let Frenchmen find out this
weakness and strive to amend it, and it will
do them and their nation more good than the
petty and miserable persecution of unfortu-
nate generals. France has suffered enough at
the hands of the enemy without counting fur
Their suffering at her own.

abusing the poor Jews who climbed to high
places in the synagogue; Mr.. Fenton as
reformer; Mr.. Wilkes as the ally of the ene-
mics of impeachment; the Rev. Theodore
Tilton dallying with the conservative
old 'saviours of society any
thing be more unnatural more impos-
sible, more scandalous in politics? 1t was
well they kept away from Connecticut Mr..
Greeley exhorting free trade audience and
Mr.. Sumner thrilling an assembly that would
have tarred and feathered him ten years ago
would not be calculated to strengthen the
moral sense Of the people or win the
votes Of shrewd, clear-headed Yankees
for, men and brethren, believe us, the
citizens of these free and independent States
are not generally fools, or to be handled like
dumb, driven cattle. They know what is false
and what is true, what is honest and what is
fair, even without the example of Mr. Sumner
or the tuition of Mr.. Greeley. And they see
that there is no reason why republicans should
not support Grant that does not spring from
vanity, ambition or disappointed expectations
So the tide has fallen, and this pretentious,
gaudy liberal republican vessel, that was sail
ing only yesterday with music and cheering
and colors flying and prosperous breezes, has
struck o snag and is going to pieces Fare
well to thee, with thy bunting and thy libels
and thy cargo of unseemly and dshonoring
calumnies As to the passengers, let them
''skulk back" to Grants camp or 60 where
they will. Neither party cares to have them
When Arnold joined the British they gave him
a commission and command and sent him to
burn dwellings and steal cattle. But he was
Arnold after all, and while one party would
have hanged him, the other despised him.
There are two parties in this contest, the
democrats and the republicans. Any third
party is an intrigue. Grant is the chosen
leader of one; some good democrat will be
the chosen leader of the other. And our
advice to those 'sliberals" who have behaved SO
badly in New England is to stow themselves
away in the baggage wagons until the fray is
over They have not the genius to lead or
the courage to follow, and for reasons of sheer
humanity they had better be kept out of the
way.

The REvoLUTIoNIsTs IN MEXICO have
achieved great victory over the government
troops under Rocha. if we are to believe the
announcement of the rebel General Quiroga,
communicated by our special despatch from
Natamoros. Mexican victories and defeats
are like Chinese puzzles. The fortune of war
in Mexico appears to be more tickle than else
where, as illustrated in this and previous in
stances but the happy faculty for fiction inher-
ent in the Mexican nature may have something
to do with the reported rapid changes from
overwhelming success to dire disaster. Each
side usually claims the victory, and neither
will acknowledge defeat. Thus, dispatches
emanating from Juarist sources will probably
represent the result of the battle as brilliant
victory for Rocha, and an utter collapse If
not capture, of the revolutionary army. 1t
matters little however, which side has the
victory, for, either way, the poor country is
the sufferer, and the prospects OF peace are
rendered as remote az ever.
AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE
SIGNAL SERVICE. We learn from WASHINGTON
that General Myer, Chief Signal Officer has
been called before the House Committee on
Appropriations to give his views about the
necessity Of an increased allowance for the
important service of which he has charge
The committee felt sufficient interest in the
matter to visit the Signal Department at mid
night and to witness the operations This
looks favorable for an additional appropriation
for the Signal Service. While we advocate
retrenchment aud economy in the government
we must say there is no more useful way in
which the public money can be expended than
in General Meyers department. The addi-
tional amount required is a bagatelle, COM
paratively, and i: is to be hoped Congress
will make the appropriation.

that sit is perfectly proper for any republican
who chooses to do so to attend the Cincinnati
Convention" and continues
Those who 20 Will stand in danger OF being
read out OF the party Tor they Will be TOO numerous
to be spared. Every Congressional district in the
West ought 10 be. and We presume will be, repre-
sented there. The State OF Illinois ought TO have
hundred OF Its leading republicans at CINCINNATI,
for they can exercise an influence far more potent
upon the next Presidential election there than tney
can hope to exercise at Philadelphia.
The inference is obvious. Send all the best
republican Illinoians who can be spared to
swell the ranks of the Convention.

cago paper that seems to connect little news
paper enterprise with some amount OF political
sagacity-announce that "Mr. Greeley will
have more force in the Cincinnati Convention

struct the platform or name the candidate for
the first position on the ticket" And his name
is Greeley.

wards and Garvcys, whose homes were in that
State, and who spent their money so freely,
have been absorbed by other engagements,
mainly with the deputy shsrifs, and have
permitted the election to go by default. In
time like this, if these ''liberals" had not been
Hacking in ready insight and unfinching
courage" they would have risen to the occa-
sion, they would have raised million dollars
if necessary. But, ''pusllanimous' creatures
as they were, they never gave dollar, they
never made speech They stood by and
looked on. If it turned out to be cheese they
would take it; if only skinned milk they did
not want it. If Hubbard succeeded they
wonld claim all the glory; if defeated they
would, to use the unbecoming language of our
hysterical contemporary, 'skulk back into the
Grant camp" AS 1t is, we can well UNDER
stand why this vexed fellow citizen should
decline any more ''bling and cooing.' Words
are words, and kisses are kisses, and amatory
rhymes are simply rhymes. What this insen-
safe journalist wanted were deeds, facts, legal
tender. No wonder he RACES and denounces
the ''liberal," reformed, anti-Grant statesmen
with felicity and ferocity of epithet.
So there is an end of the billing and cooling
"To be wroth with those we love-" says Cole
ridge, ''doth work like madness in the BRAIN"
and madness is natural and excusable. AT
lovers perjures we are told that Jove laughs,
while the vows Of the scurvy politicians are
as false as dicers oaths. So we might con-
tnue our authorities to show that it was human
nature after all, and that this disappointed
democratic leader is not the only Strephon who
came woong only to find his Chloe accepting
the homage of rival. The whole liberal re-
publican movement is an intrigue. We showed
from the beginning its falsity, its selfshness,
its utter dishonesty. Mr.. Greeley counting
free traders; Mr.. Sumner dallying with the Old
slave hunters: Mr.. Trumbull. as Pbarisee.

ST. MI0HAE1s sTEEPLE

The Devereux Brothers have commenced
repairing the famous splre of st. Mlchaepa
Church. 1t will be thoroughly oVerAauled
from base to pinnacle, and all decayed Sec
tlons will be substantially renewed. The
swinging propensity of lumber raised to any
considerable height blythe ordinary block and
tackle rendered 1t necessary In the present
instance to devise some method of saving the
face of the clock in the splre. This end has
been attained by rigging a wire cable, one end
of which is attached firmly TO the steeple and
the other to q post at sufficient distance from
the base below to give the cable a consid-
cradle detection from the perpendicular.
Several movable eyes are attached to the
cable, so that they can be drawn up by a rope
passed through a block at the top Of the cable
and lowered again at pleasure. The lumber
being fastened to these eyes Is drawn up to the
desired altitude with perfect ease and safety,
very much in the same manner as the jlb OF a
vessel Is holsted.
