..v,,I.. tn. n, Lamp Holds Out to Burn

r. ia not often that TIE NEWS finds, IN tne
columns Of its city contemporaries express
aiops of generous feeling which 1t can stamp
uith the mlnt-mark and pass into general
circulation. For this reason the kino woroS
which the Courier writes OF the stricken
neop]e OF Boston are heartily welcome. II
describes with unusual conclseness the
catastrophe OF Sunday, and recalls with
nride the recollection Of the substantial help
which struggling Charleston gave to para
lived Chicago. The Courier says:
..This has indeed been year OF casualties,
by sea and bs land The country has scarcely
recovered from the terrible shock OF the rear
tnl fire at Chicago, by which thar city was al
most totally laid In ruins. In few hours,
and Chicago had been swept by the hre-hend.
wealth vanished like the fabric Of vision,
and thousands upon thousands were rendered
homeless, bankrupt and destitute by a sudden
and unforeseen casualty, which baffied all oe-
ocrlntion and def1ed all control. Business was
on,,re,v suspended, and the utmost prlVaton
ond n;serv prevailed. Bot the whole country
re,ponded with a magnanimity ana q co'Ii'''o''
sentiment of humanity which Indicated now
c,oaely. in the hour of misfortune, zoe are ast
okin TO each other-whstever the section or
the past political difference. This City, anon
others. even In the hour of oppression ana
severe trial, answered to the common call. ana
nv ,ts contribution assured not only Chicago,
Init the people of the whole North, that the
hour of disaster was the opportunity OF COM
mon relief and contribution.
..It ia an hour of great misfortune, and az
such ,oha!euer the expressions or 'nisruls TN
posed upon the South, It should command ths
earnest sympathy and aid of every section o.
the country"
These assurances that hepublic for whom
the Courier speaks behold with genuine
compassion the Affections Of their country.
men. whether they live North or South ol
the Potomac, are hailed by TIE NEWS as
cheering sign OF the spread OF liberal feeling,
and the revival OF the old spirit OF world
wide charity and love. Only year ago the
Courier was studiously silent, while the
presses OF the country we're eloquent
In their declarations that the fall ol
Chicago was blow which struck
home to every manly breast. Then,
as now, It was true that sin the hour ol
"misiortune, we are all akin to each other. "
But the Courier ytaatly refused to g'ue It's
aasse to tie Chicago Relief fund, although, as 1t
how boasts, ''this city, among others, even In
.sthe hour OF its oppression and severe trial.
..answered to the common call, and by It's
contribution assured not only Chicago,
"but the people Of the whole North, that the
"hour Of disaster was the opportunity o.
s.common relief and contribution"
The difference between what the Courier
did in October, 1871, and what 1t says IN
November, 1872, is the measure OF its liber-
alization.

Good, II True.

The Missionary Record, OF which K ID. Cain,
(colored,) the Congressman at Large from
South Carolina, is the editor and proprietor,
says that the policy Indicated 10 the Repuoli-
can State Conventions "wlll be strictly car
tried out by the Legislature and State OIL
sscers-and. throughout the whole State
s'there will be efforts made to bring about
sethat state OF affairs which will secure to
.'the whole people prosperity heretofore
s.unknown since, or before, Reconstruction" !"
This is wholesome talk. South Carolina
Graves tranquility and peace. The new
Legislature, il they act as Congressman
| Cain promises that they will, may rely on
receiving the support Of the Conservative
citizens. What the people demand Is, Equal
Laws and Low Taxation. The Republicans
are In power, and they can 80 control affairs
as to reduce the cost OF government, and
avoid class legislation. But to do this they
must rise above the considerations which
influence the mers politician. They must
cling to what is right and spurn what is
wrong. They must keep their hands clean
and their heads clear. 1t Is mistake to sup
pose that the Conservatives, as body, are
captious and quarrelsome. Give them de-
cent government, let them be assured that
the public revenues are properly spent, and,
as far as the Conservatives are concerned,
the wheels Of the executive and legislative
machinery will revolve without jar.
THE NEWS does not ask the new admins
tratlon to "conciliate" anybody or any class.
It simply requires OF them that they deal
justly and generously with the Conservative
citizens, and fulfil in coed faith the pledges
which bind them to begin, without delay,
the work OF retrencbment and reform.

FHANAEs
NEW YoaK,, Oct. 26.-The trial Of Bazaine,
shortly to commence at Versailles, will be Of
thrilling interest. The preliminaries are nearly
all completed, and most important Witnesses
have been summoned. Bazaine's defence is
making q sharp fight. Witnesses have been
summoned from Alfalfa, Lorraine, and various
portions OF Francs. The whole French popu1a=
tion is highly indignant against Bazaine, and
desires before hand to see him condemned The
defence has summoned fren Germany all
the official = publications concerning the
campaign at Metz. A double ACCUSE
ton now weighs upon the Marshal
He is incriminated for having surrendered o
fortress without having done all he could for
it's defence, and for having capitulated without
giving battle. The main trial will begin early
IN December, and thousands OF people II France
already consider Bazaine doomed man.
Paris, Oct 26.-The Tribunal Of Commerce
has decided against the claim Of the Suoz Canal
Company for the right to alter, on their own
authority, the tonnage dues on vessels passing
through the canal. The company will probably
appeal from this decision of the Tribunal.
PARIS, Oct. 26.-The papers foreshadow the
adoption, ut the coming session Of tho National
Assembly, OF the Constitutional amendments
making Theirs President for life, creating m
Upper{Chamber and the Office of Vice President,
particularly renodeling the Assembly and pro-
Viding restrictions upon the right of universal
