ana, not only dispenseth justice with an even
hand but at times indulgeth in the jocOse. Dur
ing the progress of a certain trial involving the
ownership of o calf, it became of Importance that
the jury, in order to arrive at just conclusion,
should be sent to view for themselves the chattel
in dispute. The plaintiff, who had the animal in
charge, lived some two miles from the court house.
and one of the elderly jurymen demurred in the
idea of being sent 50 far The Judge, in his usual
full voice, replied: Gentlemen, l anticipated
this objection, and had the calf brought to the
court yard. thought it less trouble to bring one
calf than to send out trelre." The jury emerged
into the open air, and in presence Of the calf de-
liberated.

LONDON, May g. 1872.
The debate in the House OF Commons last night
on the bill to repeal the Unlawful Assemblies Act
was prOtracted to late hour and was very cX-
citing one.
The motion was for the second reading Of the
bill.
Several Irish members took occasion to make
speeches In defence of 'hom rule.'c What they
wanted was to have the laws Of Ireland assimilated
with those of England.
The Marquis of Harrington Secretary for Ire-
synonymous with Fenianism He explained the
present law, showing that it in effect prohibited
the assembling of an Irish Parliament
Mr.. Isaac Butt, member for Limerick, declared
himself "home ruler;'' but Indignantly denied
that he was Fenian, as intlmated by the Marquis
OF Harrington, OF whom he demanded retractOn.
He protested against such expressions coming from
a Minister, who received his information OF the
country he sought to rule over through detectives
and spies, the real ruling powers in Ireland. II 1t
was true that Home Rulers were Fenians, IL spoke
well for home rule, which had been able to win
back to peace men driven into rebellion by shame
less legislation. Untll Irshmen obtain the right to
manage Irish affairs in an Irish Parlia-
ment peace, content ana prosperity were
impossible. He warned the Commons
that III the act was not repealed, Ire
land would endanger the safety or the empire.
He wanted for Ireland local government like that
of an American State, and for the Kingdom a ma
tiona Legislature similar to the American Con-
gress.
Mr.. Gladstone said the latter scheme was i'm
practicable Even American statesmen We're di-
vded in opinion as to its wisdom. The recent civil
war In the United States grew out Of the collisions
the system involved. He indicated home rule. II
it converted Fenians so much the better; but he
could not but oppose the bill before the House.
The motion for d second reading was then re-
jected by vote Of 81 to l45.

APPARENT COLLAPSE OF THE CARLIsr INsUR-
REcTIoN.-All the indications of the moment,
so for as we know them, encourage the belief
that the Carlist attempt to revolutionize Spain
has resulted in utter failure. The priests, as
was to be expected, did their best to invest the
uprising with q religious character; but, pow
erful as are the clergy in Spain, they have not
been able to make capital out Of Don Carlos.
Rada, the Carlist leader, has, it is said, with
his command fed into France. With the
fight of Rada it is reasonable to conclude
that the back bone of the insurrection is broken.
Another Carlist rising is little likely to disturb
the peace of Amadeus.

" protest against every newspaper assuming
TO itself all possible human industries in addi-
ton to its own!" In response, we have only
seriously to say that speculations upon the
journal of the future are very improbable in
paper which has not made up its mind to live
vigorously up to the journal of the present.
With every successive step in progress the
journal that would prosper must olive the
pace" The humiliation of distance by steam
and electricity is only its stepping stone to
further advancement. There is scarcely dis
covery, scientific or mechanical, by land or sea,
terrestrial or astronomical which is not in
the legitimate field where journalism must
labor By all the triumphs of civilization
within the past cycle journalism has been
directly benefited, not only in the mere matter
of collecting information with certainty ana
rapidity, but in attaining a leadership OF
thought, which has eclipsed the expectations
OF its most sanguine prophets OF half century
ago. Yet there is space for usefulness be-
yond, which the HERALD is proud to have first
exploited-the field of action. The expedition
to search in the heart Of Africa for hero of
the peaceful way illustrates this, and its signal
triumph-the great worldly test-places it
beyond all contravention. 1t is not worth
while discussing now what are the bounds of
this field. 1t would serve useful purpose,
and the HERALD cannot waste time or space on
the unserviceable. Our business is with the
living present; the speculation we leave to the
idle probability of journals who cannot
slive the pace" assured that they will always
be where they are, among the truck.
In the meanwhile the brilliant achievement,
which will give lustre to the name of American
journalistic enterprise, is before world not
slow to Judge of merit and activity. There we
can leave it. The great explorer, Livingstone,
we trust, is on his way to civilization, guarded
by the HERALD expedition under the command Of
the brave gentleman who bears our flag. Their
united stories will make glttering chapter Of
life, when told, which will reward the public
and ourselves for our common anxiety. 1t
only remains to say that wherever an opportu-
nifty is offered Cor honorable work Of the kind
the HERALD will be found among its pioneers.

The War In Mexico.

The news furnished by the HERALD special
dispatches, which we publish in another
column, indicates that the revolt against
Juarez is gradually losing its Importance. In
so far as it aimed to overthrow the present
government it has proved a failure, in spite Of
the prominence and influence OF the
leaders who inaugurated it. The Mexi-
can people are thoroughly tired Of
the struggles of selfish chiefs for
the possession Of power, and their attitude
in the present instruction proves that they
are fully sensible Of the advantages Of strong
and solid government, whatever it's defects.
The army also has displayed discipline and
loyalty to the government which is only too
rare in the Mexican revolutions but untor-
tunately the unquiet element that has been
Developed by the constantly recurring civil
wars furnishes abundant recruits to ambitious
leaders. However, the energy displayed by
the governmental generals gives reason to
hope that the partisans of Diaz and Trevino
will be completely crushed and peace tempo
rarily restored to unhappy Mexico.
The attempt to capture Matamoros was a
bold stroke, which, had it succeeded, would
have enabled the revolutionists TO carry on the
war vigorously, by enabling them to replen-
ish their exhausted exchequer and obtain sup
plies of arms and ammunition. Their hasty
retreat from before the town cannot fail to
have a demoralizing effect on their troops.
The resolution of General Cevallos to follow
up his advantage will probably force
,SA'g 70
itself to humiliation. If the report
of the occupation Of Monterey by
the government forces be true the position Of
Treviiio is truly critical, as he cannot possibly
find subsistence for considerable body of
troops in the barren region lying between the
Monterey and the Rio Grande. We hope the
Mexican commander will press his advantage
and act with vigor and severity 1t is time
that both the Mexican leaders and their law
less followers should be taught that the
penalty of revolt is death. There are
instances where mercy is false hu-
mainly, tending to encourage the restless
and ambitious in their efforts to subvert estab-
lished government. Were Mexican rebels
fully impressed with the fact that the death
penalty would be vigorously carried out in all
cases of unsuccessful armed insurrec-
ton we would be less troubled by
the overcoming pronunciamentos Of
our quarrelsome neighbors. In order to
avoid destruction by the sword or by famine
Treviiios troops will be obliged to divide into
small bands and carry on guerilla warfare,
and the danger to our citizens along the Dor
der will be greatly increased. The duty Of the
War Department under these circumstances is
clear Sufficient troops should be placed along
the border to protect our territory from
invasion and to infict summary punishment
on marauders.
