MANsARD, whose roofs are the sub
ject OF so much obloquy ut present,
was superintendent OF public build
ings in the reign Of Louis XIV. 1t Is
told OF him that he possessed to a re-
markable amount the power OF subtle
flattery, which he used to practice
with great ingenuity upon the king.
He would sometimes submit plans,
portions OF which were purposely
made so impracticable. not to say alb
surd, that the king could not avoid de-
tecting aud pointing out the inconsist-
encies, whereupon Mansard would de-
clare that II his majesty had not been
a king he would have made a first
class architect, blaming himself the
while for having made such plumbers
1t is not stated whether the famous
root was one Of these latter, nor
whether the king took fire at 1t when
1t was shown to him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6-1 P. N..-
A man named Cooper. who at n time
had some connection with the Dia-
mond Drill Company, is the person
who explained the manner in which
the diamond fields were sailed. Some
of lthe stones were such as the drill
company used. These were mixed
with others purchased by Arnold, and
with rubies and garnets which he pro-
cured from Indians in Arizona. Ar
mold made two or three trips for salt
ing purposes, and once took back a lot
of gems which Slack had picked up
and returned to their store Of wealth
BY Arnold's order. II is said that in
dictments against. Arnold, Slack and
Cooper will be presented to the Grand
Jury to-day.
On the 2Sth Of November A. Madl-
son was washed overheard from the
schooner Mendocino, near Point Are
mas, and was drowned.
A small propeller was launched yes
terday at the foot Of Fourth street.
She Is for service in Central American
waters.
Edward Ryan, who Is under arrest
for shooting officer Brown, has not OBJ
tanned requisite bonds, and Is still In
Jail. His examination will take place
next Monday. Brown is In a fair way
to recover.
No new developments in diamond
matters beyond the expose made by
Cooper.

CEN GRANTS APPOINTMENTS.


we lately contradcted an assertion Of the
Times that our chief objection to Gen. Grants
reelection was his appointment of "profes-
sional politicians" to office. We stated the
fact that he had appointed no more OF this
sort than several other Presidents had done, II
so many, and that very large share OF his
nominees for high positions were not properly
politicians at all. 1t is true that he has made
some very bad selections for Offce-some (not
ally of these from the ranks of professional
"politicians: but he has also made some
very good ones; and we do not think he has
sinned in this respect beyond several OF MS
predecessors. The system under which his
app0intments have been made is very bad
one he says this as plainly as we do; he
favors radical change, and so do
we. True, he does not now sec
that the "root of bitterness is the
eligibility of President to reelection, which
constrains him to select unworthy men for
Office in spite of his better impulses; but there
wes a time when he did see it, and that time
will return After the 4th of next March, we
are confident that Gen. Grant and most OF his
present supporters will return to the advocacy
and support of that cherished Whig principle
One Presidential Term--in behalf of which
the elder portion of them have already fought
so earnestly and so gallantly. They will then
see and acknowledge that Civil Service Re
form is utterly incompatible with the ellgl-
bilty of the chief dispenser OF nations
offices to reelection. So long as our Cmef
Executive shall continue to be generallssimo
of q grand confederacy of Offce-holders and
| Office seekers, freedom of choice Is denied TO
| the people, and all the money spent on MIR.
Geo. w. Curtis's Commission is simply thrown
away.
But The Times says we qualify our COM
mendation by repeating the old ISLANDERS
against Gen. Grants appointments OF 'rela-
"'tives to lucrative Offices
| Islanders" do you say7 Let us have no
misunderstanding. THE TRIBUNE asserts that
our most illustriOus Presidents have uniformly
deprecated the appointment of their relatives
to Office as wrong and perncious, and have
acted in general accordance with this senti'
ment. We charge that Gen. Grant has II
three years appointed to office more persons
related to himself and his family than all oul
former Presidents did in their eighty years Of
administration. And we are confident but dt
not charge, that the emoluments which have
accrued to Gen. Grants relatives have ex
ceeded those realized by all the relatives Of
our preceding Presidents during their respect
i've terms of Office.
Will Tho Times meet us squarely on th'
main point-namely, the number of his ant
his family's relatives appointed by Gen. Gran
to Office, with that of the like appointments o.
all his predecessors, respectively and in th'
aggregated If issue is joined on this point
we shall proceed to develop the facts. We vii
consider their bearing afterward.
New-York tribune., 1872-03-29

haps we may proftably inquire how far there
is justification for divulging sins OF which We
have proof and whether some punishment
cannot be devised for the malicious enemies OF
society who tell the truth about their fellow
men and women without any reasonable provo
cation. How arc the sins of adisreputable youth
to be cast off If the penitent must carry about
the burden of the past in plain sight OF all the
worldY Surely. there ought to be some protec-
ton for those who would purge themselves
and live cleanly. No one charges that Lady
Twiss had discredited her high position by
any misconduct since she became wife. 1t
is evident indeed, from the general belief In
her innocence, that the Offenses OF her former
life, whatever they may have been, had been
buried out of sight. So far as the worid
knows, her home was happy, and 1t was no
doubt decOrOus. The defamation OF sucn
life as hers must latterly have been is nothing
better than driving her back to the shame
from which she is supposed to have escaped,
and proclaimng to all who may have fallen
like her that for them there shall DO no
mercy, no hope of a new and reputable lite'
This species of defamation is worse than an
ordinary libel. The slander which is all he
may wound, but the slander which ls truth
must kill. For the reckless gOssip-monger
who circulates falsehOOd that is refuted In
an hour and harms nobody but its author, the
law provides severe penalties; but for the
heartless and conscienceless enemy who brings
irreparable ruin upon family by mallciously
telling truth which ought not to be told, we
have no punishment all. Which shows now
broad the distinction is between justice ana
the law.
