SENATOR S6AINER's S resolution III relation
TO the Pale of arms and ammunition by
tie government of the United States 10
that of France during the Franco>Prus-
sian war, the Age thinks, is likely to cre-
ate more excitement than was expected.
At first the administration Senators and
presses pretended 10 treat the whole mat
ter as an exhibition Of petty malice on
the part of Senator Sumner. But, as the
facts are developed, the tune on the ad
ministraliun fiddle changes, and now the
notes are more mournful tbat defiant. 1t
appears that in September and October,
1870, heavy sales of arms and materials
of war were made by the Ordnance De-
partment to the agents of the French gov>
eminent for use in the war with Germany,
then going forward. BY the official states
ments of the French government, it ap>
pears they paid for these purchases about
Sll, 100000 in gold, equivalent, consid>
ering the premium on exchange, to $l4,
900, 900 in our currency. while, in his
recent report upon the subject, our Secre-
tary of War states that the War Depart
ment received but ten millions. This profit
of four millions was not made by the pur-
chasing agents of the French government ;
for they had regular commission of two
and a half per cent, which is not counted
as part of the purchase money. This
leaves the four millions TO be accounted
| for on this side of the water. AS France
would not take the arms unless ammuni
tion was furnished at the same time to use
in them, the allegations is that cartridges
were also supplied blythe Federal authors
ties, which by this act became a direct
participant in the war against Prussia
These are the charges which Senator
Sumner proposes to investigate by special
Committee, and it is no wonder their in
PRODUCTION struck terror to the Federal ad-
minlstration and it's several supporters.
The World well says "the evidence pre-
sented in MIR. Summers preamble, makes
strong case against General Grants
administration, though it does not trace
the details of the dishonest gains home 10
individuals. The object of Mr.. Summers
resolution is TO fix this personal RESPONSE
bility, and drag forth the criminals and
their accomplices."

The Detroit Tribune having had the
temerity to doubt the wisdom OF re>elccting
Grant, has had all government advertising
taken away from it. and all the small ma
chinery Of Post Offices and the like were
called TO aid to suppress the circulation of
this graceless sheet. But unhappily the
people have not seconded these noble efforts.
and the wretched paper now boasts larger
circulation than the true blue "rssular 4"
organ in Detroit. and is audacious enough to
demand reform throughout the government
and the party.

The american reports Containing all De-
ci,ions of General Interest decided in the
Courts of last Resort Of the several States.
With Notes and References by ISAAC
GRANT THOMPSON. Volume III. Albany /:
JouS D. Parsons, Jr., Publisher 1872.
We have heretofore noticed previous vol
ulncs of this valuable series. Our readers,
therefore, know that the plan Of this series
is to give all cases having a general value
hereafter decided by the court of last resort
in every State, unincumbered by practice
eases and those of local importance only.
The State Reports are too voluminous, now
that the number of States is so large; and
the cases reported are many of them unim-
portant and unintcresting outside of the
State in which they are decided. The COM
parativcly few volumes of the series now I'M
der consideration will contain the cream of
Ill the State Reports. For instance, the
volume now before us contains every case of
general interest reported in the State Re-
ports of Wisconsin, Maryland, GRATTAN
(Virginia), Nevada, New Jersey, BUSH (Ken-
trcky), Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New
York, Arkansas, and Connecticut.
Of course. in Virginia we need all Of graf
TAN, but not all of BUSH. So, in other States,
the profession need only such cases as are
herein taken from GRATTAS.
The opinions are given in full, except
where they dispose of practice and local ques-
tons in connection with important princi-
pies, when the former are eliminated, and the
elimination indicated. The cases cited both
by the counsel and the court are carefully
verified by an examination of the report
cited, in order TO correct errors in names,
volumes, and pages.
Notes giving references to the leading
decisions and the points decided are added
by the editors whenever deemed useful.
Many of these notes are very elaborate, and
give full review Of the decisions on the
question involved in the principal case.
Complete tables are given of the cases
reported and of those cited, either by the
counsel, the court, or in the notes. The
index is carefully prepared, and contains
crross-reterences to facilitate in finding any
principle contained in the reports.
The price of the American Reports is So
per volume, payable on delivery. Those
wishing to take the series should send their
orders to the publishers and the volumes
will be forwarded to them as soon as issued
free OF charge.

COUNTY CoUnTs.-We had hoped that the
attempt to destroy the county courts would
not be repeated in the Legislature during
this session, the House Committee of Courts
of Justice having reported adversely upon
the bill passed in the Senate for that purpose
But we learn that the snake is not dead; il
is only scotched. Members know that they
cannot reduce the pay of the county Judges
before the year 1874, and that all other ex,
penses of the courts Gun be reduced without
disgacing those capable and faithful officers
Why not, then, postpone the consideration OF
the matter until next winter: If the people
really desire to abolish the county court, they
will let their representatives know the fact
before their return to Richmond.
