ENERGY or WILL.

1t is energy of will that is the soul of the
intellect; wherever it is, there is life
where it is not, all is dullness and despon-
dency and desolation. People who have
no experience OF it imagine that it is des-
tructive TO the nerves, exhaustive of the
animal spirits; that it aggravates the
wear and tear of life excessively. But this
is an idle notion. as idle as the habits and
hnmors of those who entertain it. We
leave it TO any man who knows its real
effect, to strike the balance-to compare
the exhaustion of an indolent day with
that of an active one: to say in which OF
the two cases the subject is in better heart
for work and filter to undergo it.
Whatever we may be about, one thing
we believe is certain. that if the spirits
are spent by energy they are utterly vast
ed by idlcness; at worst, energy can only
end in relaxation-it is superior to it for a
while, and possibly at last may fall into
it; whereas, idleness is actual relaxation
from first to last, and can be nothing else.
But even this view, favorable as it is. is
yet not favorable enough to be just. The
fact is, that violence is not necessary to
energy any more than tyranny is to king
ship; on the contrary, it is the greatest
energy that does the most work.
Energy, literally from the Greek, means
Observation-Disclosures the blooming of the
flower is energy, the increase of fruits is
energy, the growth of the body is energy
yet in all these there is no violence; the
efficacy is not destructive. but vital with
out it the whole frame must fall at once
into corruption, with it, instead of cor
ruption, we have life. But this, it may be
said, is refinement. 1t may be so, but
it is true in fact, nevertheless. The gain.
sayer will find it difficult to produce any
thing from the subject Of surer or more
essential truth.

THE GENESIS OF 4 LIE.

We presume it already well known to most
intelligent people that most Of the reported
say.rgs of public men which are quoted and
circulated by their adversaries with intent to
subject them to Odium and hatred, are lies.
There was the famous apotheg,n attributed to
Daniel Webstcr-"Take care Of the rich, and
" the rich will take care Of the poor"-as naked
lie as ever was concocted-yet it was stuck
to for years, and hundreds of thousands died
believing that he had uttered it, mainly because
lin their estimatiOn) it was "just like him."
1t is interesting to note the growth of ore
of these lies from tho tiny germ up to its full
grown masnilcence; and, happily, We have m
instance that casts q broad light on the pro-
cesa.
Some week since, The Times broadly asserted
tha. Carl Schurz boasts that he carries the
cent re German vote in his breeches pOcke5."
Could any but very ignorant fool believe
this Yet mary let it pass as, if not true,
still u,eful in SCATTERING Schulzs influence
and exposing him to odium and our demand
that it he proved passed utterly UNDECIDED. At
length, The TmeS's Washington correspondent
shows exactly how the egg was Laid and who
Matched it-as follows
at h anprunted Zero that next week Senator Scurz
will proceed 10 M WORK Ter the purpose OF organizing
the German. into tho Cine iDh.ti movement speech
at the COo,tr Institute Is on the programme, and II Is
said Schp cxprc himself veiy conuo ut of being able
to turn the .re G,ll ctnout gainet Grant lie has
pretended a. rescut ycogge that he boasts OF carrying
The Germans III ma brooches pocket NJ Summer, In lbs

rested under Il since. Mr. sumner schargc that
tho President lid not &c disturb MI Schurzs posi-
ton on tie Foreign Relations Committee because he mad
the (,Crulaun at his Daoi.'
Here You see exactly how this species of
fabrication is terminated and DOurished.
Gen. Scllurz, it appears said nothing like what
is attributed to him; but Mr.. Sumner is now
reported to have said, in 1870, that the Presi-
dent daro not order Gen. Schurz's displace-
ment from The Committee on Foreign Affairs,
"because lie [Schurzl had tho Germans at his
"baclI."
Nine-tenths of the kindred assertions that
Senator A. or Gen. b. said this or that which
ho should not have said, have no better foun-
dation than this one.

THE CASE OF DIR. HOUND.

The Secretary of State has at last thought
proper to send to Congress statement OF the
case of DR.. HOuard which is certainly the
most marvellous exhibition Of impar.iality ever
seen in the history of diplomacy. There are
Of course two sides to every question, but this
is tho first time We havo ever known the
Secretary Of State to hold both sides at the
same time, and cnergeticaily defend both in
the presence of the world. In the dispatch
which Mr.. Fish sent to Mr.. Adee on the 9th
Of March, he warmly espOuses the cause of
Dr. Houard. He begins by stating categor-
ically that "Joln Emile Houard is citizen Of
"the United States by birth. He was born in Phil
"adolphia on the 9Th of September, 1915. His
"father was also a citizen of the United States
"by naturalization, completed in 1903" Tho
dispatch further goes Oh to state that when
DIR. HOuard went to Cuba, he received tho
permission to practice his profession, which is
given only to foreigners. Mr.. Fish then states
that "it does not appear that DR.. HOuard
sever renounccd his nationality of birth or
90 that he ever accepted Spanish nationality"
The Secretary of State then gives O
brief resume of the trial and conviction
of DR.. Houard, and of the unsLccess-
ful efforts to effect his release through
applications to the Spanish Minister and
to the Captain lie closes with
these strong and unequivocal instructions
"The action Of the Spanish authorities In the
"Island of Cuba in trying DIR. HOuard by a
court-martial, and their refusal to furnish a
"record of the proceedings Of the Court and
"of the testimony adduced against him, ap-
"pear to be clear infraction Of the provis-
lions of the seventh article of the Treaty of
"1795, between the United States and Spain,
Gan infractiOn of the Treaty against which
"this Government is called to interpOso the
"most serious remOnstrance. You are accord
"ingly instructed to bring this case to the at
"tention of the Spanish Government. You
"will point out the fact that DR.. HOuard 10 a
"natire citizen Of the United States You will
| demonstrate against the proceedings Of the
"Spanish authorities in Cuba in his case, as o
| "violatiOn of the provisions of the Treaty al
"ready cited, aud you piN ask his immediate re-
"lease"
This is all reasonable and cOnsistent-exactly
what should be expected from an American
Secretary of State under the circumstances.
But tho Secretary evidently felt that the
American side of the question was exhausted
by this effort, and in answer to Az application

1t is not pleasant to contemplate general
delivery of Blackwells Island prisoners which
may be, in some sense, supplementary to the
free-and- easy orders of Judges Cardozo and
Barnard but a decision in the Court OF APP
peals, at Albany, makes probable the release
of a number of offenders, convicted in the
Court of Special Sessions. Awaiting himself
of the decision referred to, the terms of which
are given elsewhere, counsel for convict
moved, in the Court of General Sessions yes
terday, for his clients discharge on the ground
that MS sentence was illegal, the Court which
sentenced him being Illegally constituted. The
decision in the case will be watched with great
interest, as numerous other similar instances
will be brought up, if the opinion OF Judge
Bedford should warrant the motion.

Some superserviceable official in the employ
meIt of the British Government has brought
odium on his superiors, as is the misfortune of
men who have more zeal than discretion. A tav-
ern which has been, for some time, the headquar-
tcrs of London Republicans, has been refused
a license; and so the rendezvous is likely to
be broken up as a seditiOus and dangerous
concern. This is very small business, indeed
smaller than most of our Republican John
Thomases dabble in; but it will be large enough
to make things. by and by, uncomfortable for
the MoDarchisls.
