Ed. COURIER was impressed with
the belief ia times gone BY, that to enjoy
life it was necessary to be either dead drunk
or fast asleep, and if any of my friends wish
to submit the thing to test, l would for
economy's sake advise the trial of Sleep
In this respect however, | have changed
front, unlike Democracy, suddenly, but
gradually, and now derive most of my pleas
ure from the annoyance Of others. In my
numerous squibs to the Trinity Journal l
would occasionally preface them with lit
tie doggerel, just to annoy the editor, they
were published however, perhaps out OF
respect for the writer, but venture to say
l received numerous cursings that L never
knew anything Of I now propose to test
the eveness of the temper of my old friend
of the COURIER by inAicting mouthful

PRINCE BISMARCK AND THE PRuss1AN PRE-
MERsHR.-It is now authoritatively stated
that the resignation Of Prince Bismarck as
Prime Minister of Prussia has been formally
accepted and that his successor has been ap-
pointed. Recent complications in the Prus-
sian Parliament may have made this change
more or less desirable; but the change must
be regarded as gain to Germany and particu-
larly to the cause of German unity. Prince
Bismarck still remains Chancellor Of the Ger
man Empire and the chief adviser of EN-
poror William. Released from the exhausting
details inseparable from the Office Of President
of the Prussian Council of Ministers, he will
have the more time to devote to the more i'm
portant duties which devolve upon him as
Chancellor of the Empire. The policy which
made Prussia in 1865 mistress of Germany
md later the dominant Power in Europe, will,
we may rest assured, be maintained. Bis
marck more than ever remains master Of the
situation.

President Thiers and the French
Army. ~44

President Th1ors and the French
Army.
One Of our latest cable dispatches informs
MS that the army corps of General Chanzy is
being rapidly increased to one hundred thou
sand men, while that of Ducrot amounts to
only forty-eight thousand. The despatch adds
that President Theirs has said that che in
tends to keep the monarchists in ave." It is
quite clear from this that while the Assembly
is debating about duties on raw materials and
making preparations for an early adjourn
ment, and while the Committee of Thirty is
occupied with the question of ministerial
responsibility and second Chamber, Presi-
dent Theirs is thinking Of himself and Of
France, and doing his best to make his posi-
tion strong. Ducrot is o pronounced impe-
rialst, and Chanzy is q well known republi-
can. Chanzy has been faithful to the present
government SO far as we know the facts. Du-
crot has made more than one mistake, if it is
o mistake to reveal ones convictions and
hopes. 1t might be dangerous to take his
command from Ducrot; but reasons may be
easily found for weakening one command and
strengthening another. The news is valuable
mainly for the reason that it shows that Presi-
dent Theirs is leaning more and more towards
the Left in the Chamber. The inference
which we feel disposed to make is not, we
think, unfair It is this: that the President
has some faith in the growing strength of the
Republic. If any other inference is justiAable
in the premises it is this that he breads revo-
luton and wishes to prolong the present un-
certainty. The situation, however. is still
critical.

In the Division. This assured them Of
the value of the speculation, and their con-
sciences, no doubt, prompted them to favor
such magnifcenty successful scheme to the
extent Of their power. The very head and
mont Of their offending has this extent, no
moro; and Mr.. Cakes Ames has distinctly
sworn that there was mo improper motive or
corrupt understanding" between himself and
any of the congressman to whom he placed"
the stock. OF course there was not The
transactions were creditable to the business
enterprise of all concerned in them, and the
only persons deserving censure are those
timid individuals who gave up their shares
when impairment inquiries into the matter
were first started.
Last Winter similar unjustifable investi-
cation was made into the private affairs OF
Senator of the State Of New York. Being
poor man this legislator had borrowed few
thousand dollars Of the chief Of the Tam
many braves and of the princes Of the house of
Eric. Impressed with the confding generosity
of his liberal helpers, he voted for all their
bills in the State Legislature His conscience
told him that such noble spirits must be
deserving of support, and his vote was cast in
accordance with his conscience The testi-
mony Of his creditors was positive that there
had been no Improper motive or corrupt
understanding between themselves and the
Senator, and the Senate decided that he had
committed no act to unfit him for seat in it's
circle or for the Craftsmanship Of its Judiciary
Committee. Judge Poland and his associates
on the investigating committee now in session
at Washington will, no doubt, arrive at simi-
lar decision In regard to the Senators and
REPRESENTATIVES to whom the Credit Mobilier
stock was splaced." At the same time We
consider that it is none the less our duty to
protest against this overhauling Of the private
financial transactions of our honorable Con-
eressmen as an outrage upon personal liberty.

Murder ana Its k-un.sn..ou. :. .....
don and New York.
Our criminal code, which prescribes deaf,
oy the halter as the penalty for. murder, is
equally with the British rule, the direc
descendant of the old common law. Here, q,
An England. the slayer of fellow man knows
tnat the highest authority recognized in thu
community has decreed that as punishment
for his crime, and to protect society against its
Imitation, he shall die, ignominiously, by
ferocious violence. In both instances iury
;of twelve reputable citizens, under the
Bolemnity Of an oath, must unanimously find
the prisoner positively proven to be guilty
before the bench passes sentence. London
has population Of three and q half million
Souls-thrice our number. Capital crime is
not in the English city in proportion to
Aus Size nyy far SO common as In our
2wn Our Tombs counts it's unconvictad
1urderers by the score. Here conviction is
most rare occurrence, and even after court
has doomed culprit to the scaffold the
chances are far more than even that he will
die In his bed English administration of
Justice shows picture Of far different tone.
Yesterdays issue of the London Times con-
tains the record Of six murder trials in which
there were convictions and sentences, and
those six culprits will be hanged on the day
named. This latter fact marks the superiority
of English public sentiment on this point over
ours. Those six murders probably occurred
In various counties of one judicial circuit,
which may contain population equal to this
entire State. Suppose all the murderers in
the jails Of the State were on trial now,
how many would probably be convicted 2
We all know the percentage would be
very small, and less still would be
The proportion Of those convicted who
would fail to evade or postpone execution.
It is true this city is thronged by the vaga-
bonds and scapegraces of Europe as we'll as
America and thus represents che desperation
and moral obliquity Of the whole world This
fact makes it the more imperatively necessary,
for the preservation Of public security, that the
law should be faithfully and fearlessly ex-
ecuted Jurors owe 1t to themselves, their
families and the community to promptly con-
!vfct upon proved guilt They have no respon-
bibility In regard to the penalty. Judges and
district attorneys have there solemn duty in
this matter, and those whose votes have placed
them in Office will hold them responsible for
Hny derelction therein. New York can only
be redeemed from the terrorism Of lawless,
murderous violence which disgraces her by o
thorough reformation in the method Of treat
ing murderers. Let the red-handed assassin
be punished as promptly and certainly as day
follows night, then once again life will be
secure against murderous assaults.
