New-York tribune., 1872-12-04

The State Senate has not yet reached any
decision in the case of Judge Prindle; at
least, not so far as the public know. Yester-
day, it took up that of Judge Curtis of the
Marine Court, who is charged with being in
partnership with a certain law firm practicing
in his court, and corruptly using his official
position to the benefit of said firm. The
usual exceptions to the jurisdiction of the
Senate were made and oveTuled; it will be
noticed, however, that it was decided that the
accused could only be tried on the charges
served on him by the Senate; this very prop
eIly rules out additional counts which were
prepared at the instance of the Bar Associa-
ton.
New-York tribune., 1872-12-04

Indian troubles have broken ont in a most
unexpected quarter-NOrthern California. The
Modocs, who are naturally a warlike race
have taken the field, and have massacred
many settlers in the sparsely populated region
east of the Cascade Range, ON the boundary
between Oregon and California. No ex-
PLANTATION is given of the origin of the
difficulty except as reported several days
since, that the ModOcs would not remain in
their reservation. The fact is, however, that
the whites have crowded the Indians of that
part of the country, so that they have become
Testive.

1t was expected that the irregular body
which, meeting in the United States Court
rooms at Montgomery, calls itself the Alabama
Legislature, would pretend to elect Mr.. Spencer
to the Senate. This has been done, and Mr..
Spencer will claim to be reelected, and will
even be able to present the authority of the
Governor to establish the genuineness of his
election. But, though Gov. Lindsay may
recognize the bOlters as a Legislature, it seems
hardly possible that bis decision in the premises
will be final.

AS there has been good deal said of the danger
to health of using the sewing g-machine, it is worth
while to mention that DIR. Parker recently read q
paper on the subject before the State Medical So
ciety of Virginia in which he maintained that
fatigue Is not disease; that there is reason TO
conclude that tho use of the muscles employed in
machine work for reasonable time is injurious /;
that machine may be used by woman for four or
five hours daily if she be in ordinary health, without
iniury that the damage to health in the factory is
duo TO the hygenic conditions under which the work
is done. In conclusion, 10 was affirmed that the

boy with microscopic eyes is the latest scientific
wonder in England. He possesses the faculty of
seeing minute objects magnited TO marvellous
degree. His eyes were diseased when he was young
and he came near losing his sight, which, however
no gradually recovered. 1t was found, however,
that the internal structure of the eye had been
changed, the cornea being greatly enlarged, the
crystalline lens being divided into three different
parts, each part surrounded with light blue cir
Gle and IN the center of each appears the iris
diminished to the size of a pins head. The patient
cannot distinguish objects at a distance. they APP
peariDg blurred and misshapen. The magnifying
power of his vision is stated at 5000 dameters. A
curious fact is that he will never examine water
having once discovered the vast number of infu-
soria contained in some which he was drinking, and
the sight Of which thoroughly frightened him. The
lad, it should be mentioned, has wonderful talent
for drawing and coloring with great accuracy the
objects which come beneath his inspection. The
case is under the particular attention of Sir Charles
Madden +. Il. s., and of DIR. Crowder, the eminent
oculist.

So far as the influence of the vote of Arkansas
in the Electoral College is concerned, it no
longer possesses any pressing importance; but
the prospect that the people of Arkansas are
to be cheated cut of their choice for State
officers is alarming. The Clayton Ring have
possession of the machinery of the election
and the returns; that they are capable OF
fraudulently handling those returns has already
been shown in the case of Edwards, who
received from Gov. Clayton certificate OF
election to Congress. This was done in such
open defiance of known and patent facts that
. the House of Representatives was obliged to
give Boles, the Democratic contestant the
seat. There is reason to expect some such
corrupt action by the Arkansas State Govern
Z ment they hesitate to make any declaration
of the result of the election, though Brooks
the Reform candidate, has a clear majority
1 This thing cannot be done in corner; 1T can
hardly be possible that the Clayton Ring VIII
dare to steal whole State election.

Special interest is attracted to the new State

Palmer to Mr.. Greeley after the Cincinnati
Convention, in which Mr.. Palmer alluded to
the fact that he had called upon Mr. Greeley
in December, 1865, to persuade him not to
publish the celebrated article upon General
Amnesty and Impartial Suffrage, because Its
publication would prevent bis election to the
United States Senate, and also to other IN
stances when he was IN advance Of public
sentiment, Mr.. Greeley wrote as follows

Firm AMI Truo.

The New York W Id of October
10th, appeals to Democrats not to de
sert Their standards because Greeley
may not be wholly acceptable, but to
fight all the harder.
Why should an honest man, who is
fighting fraud, desert his standard, in
view Of corrupt practices? If two States
are corrupted it is any reason why an
organization, commenced to reform
abuses, should shrink from its duty?
Democrats will desert no standard Of
right and Of the Constitution. They
have fought as manfully in the hours
of defeat as in the flush Of victory.
They have, within the past four
months, joined hands with the Liberal
Republicans ON aplatform that con
tains sound principles. They have made
this Union to secure honest govern
ment and to restore the lights Of the
people. They will vote for Horace
Greeley with the greatest pleasure. He
represents the views Of theunilod arty
of Democrats and Liberals. They are
not dcttatcd yet, in this their first
campaign. They may win great tr!-
umph in November. The West il COM
inc into the work of reform The
South accepts it solidly, and in good
faith,
The union for honest government,
hardly yet consolidated, is not .tor q
day or 4 ca,npaig"; it is for the pre-
sent and the future. 1t cannot be bro
ken down by the Camerons and Har-
tranf,s, who may obtain by wholesale
bribery and fraud some temporary vic
tories The united party will increase
in streI 9Th and power, even amid lem
porary defeats al the commencement
of its work of rCfyrm. No new party
organization ever yet won complete
success at the outset of lis career.
There are timid men, who mean well ;
there are ''BolrbonS," who move slow
ly and slrepily; but move they will,
and move onward, -every man who
loves truth and honesty, and hates
f,aud and corrupt government. The
party OF fraternity and union, of far
and honest dealing will surely triumph
AS surely as that truth is stronger
than ftlsehood, and that honesty NUT
triumph over evil practices.
The DemoeHtic-Liberal party has
been growing stronger ever since July
9th, 1872. 1t is con 'olidatrng its UNI
ted forces. Those who prefer Grant,
and his camp and his rings, viii 90
that way. Those who love honesty
and Constitutional government, will
very soon come into the ranks Of The
Liberals. The party Of principe will
overcome the putty Of despotIsm and
