Our Second blessing.

The freaks Of great men are as in.
comprehensive sometimes as those Of
small men. "The late lamented "
Lincoln pronounced our hugo debt "a

year ago, Senator Morton, OF Indi-
ana, the leader of Grants administra.
ton, promised that iftbc people would

should prevail throughout the nation.
Now, Senator Sherman, of Ohio, says
that tho prevailing suspension is a

refers to the iniqutous policy Of the
Government officials and their pets.--

Couriefion of Rasatne.

Tho trial of Marshal Bazaine, which
has been in progress for some time, at
Versailles, France, for treason in sur.
rendering Metz TO the Germans, was
concluded on Wednesday last The
cablo furnishes the following scene:
Nj. Lachaud, counsel for Marshal b.
zaine, in his pcroration said: al deep.
ly sympathize with this valiant soldier,
overwhelmed by terrible accusation.
| fear not death for him-he is brave
and fears nothing-but the loss Of his
honor, for the sake of his wife and
children. / feel most for France, which
will deploro the loss of valorous SOL

that you condemn him. You know
what political trials are, on tho sp pot
on which posterity has raised statue
to those executed after such trials.
NJ. Pourett replied, demanding that
terrible example be made as lesson
10 the rising generation. Before the
judges withdrew, Bazaine said, 81
have two words in my breast-Honor
and Country. i have never been
wanting towards this proud motto
during my forty.two years of service.
| swear before Christ that | have not
betrayed France" After long de-
Liberation, the judges declared Bazanc
guilty Of the charges of the capitula-
ton Of Metz, and of the army in the
open field, without doing all that was
prescribed by honor and duty to AVOID
surrender, and unanimously con-
demned him to death, aud to be de.
graded from his rank previous to bis
execution. After Judgment had been
rendered, all the members Of the court
signed an appeal for mercy, which
Duke ID 'Aumal Immediately conveyed
in person to President MacMahon.--
Bazane was greatly agitated when
he heard the decision Of the court,
PARIS, December l2.-The decision
of President MacMahon in the case Of
Marshal Bazaine is announced this
morning. The sentence of death
against the marshal is commuted TO
twenty years seclusion. Ho is to bear
the effects Of degradation from his
rank, but will bo spared any humiliat-
ing ceremony.
Tho result Of this commutation OF
Bazaine's punishment will be his en-.
forced residence in place designated
by the government, where he will bo
under the immediate and constant sur
veillancc Of the police during the en-.
tire period of his seclusion. He will
therefore be, to all intents. and pur.
poses, prisoner, although no will at
no time be lodged in Jail, or restricted
in bis daily habits or personal move
mcnts. lilo is to be spared tho hu-
initiation Of any ceremony in his de-
gradation from his rank in the army,
but he has ceased to be q marshal Of
France or even an oilicor in her army,
and likewise loses his position in thc
legion of honor and all the Other
orders with which ho had been decor.
atcd. Altogether, the punishment to
be mctcd out to him is quito as humil-
iating MS would have been the cxecu.
tion Of the original s.a,tence of tho
court.

"Harming to Republicans

Such is the caption Of an article
written by Charles A. Dana, editor OF
tho Now York Sun, who was Assist
ant Secretary of War under Lincoln
The editor in question proceeds 20 ad.
viso his party irionds ia this wiso.
"wholly aside from the Liberals
there is very large body of regular
Republicans who are and long have
been deeply disgusted with the man
agemont of their party. These men
shrank from the thought Of restoring
the old Bourbon Democracy to power
even in modified form, and therefore
they refused to support Horace Gree.
ley, and aided in the re election Of
Gen. Grant last year.
The presen. year, and in all this
section Of the country, they consttut-
cd the great mass of voters who re-
fused to go to the polls, and thereby
indirectly contributed to the halfand-
half Democratic triumphs in seven or
eight of the central and Eastern States.
In the States of the North west and
on the Pacific slope it was these dis
satisfied Republicans who gave the
victory to the Farmers, the lndopend.
cnts, and the Anti-Monopolists.
1t is very evident that this class OF
Republicans hold the future fortunes
Of The party and of the country in
their hands. Thcy detest Credit Mobi-
lier.bypocrites, back-pay and forward
pay grabbers, Pacific Railway swind
lers, Washington Ring robbers, Sena-
tors who buy their seats, Representa-
tives who sell their votes, and all sorts
of corruptionists, thieves, jobbers, and
charlatans, especially if they claim to
be Republicans and steal tho mantle
Of Christianity to cover their rogucry.
If the Republican managers in Con-
gress keep on as they have begun,
then by the close Of the session they
will increase fourfold the number of
disgusted and indignant Republicans.
The elections next fall will be repo-
tition all over the country of what has
taken place this fall in Illinois, Wis
consin, California, and some other
Western States, resulting 10 carrying
an opposition majority into tho House
of the Forty.fourth Congress.
What thenI We answer :: tho ov-
erlhrow Of the present Republican
party; the probable impeachment by
the new House Of some half dozen
high officials; and perhaps the eloc-
tion ofan opposition President in 1876.

Senate and House come to their sonses

ton that about onc.fourth Of their

The Chtef JessftCc.


II has always been customary in
the Senate TO confirm the nominations
to Office Of cx-mombers Of that body
without reference to tho appropriate
committee, rs is the practice in othcr
cases. Sometimes this rule is relaxed
in favor Of eminent persons who have
never been in public life.
When, therefore, the nomination Of
George III. Williams was referred to
tho Judiciary Committee II was sig.
nifcant departure from the usage,
which meant in plain terms that tho
nomination was one not fit TO be made.
The delay on IL since then is confirm
atory of this well founded impression.
That committee consists OF Mr.. Ed
munds, chairmanj Mr., Conkling, Mr.,
Carpenter, Mr.. Frelinghuyscn, Mr..
Wright, Mr.. Thurman, and Mr.. Ste
venson. They are all more or less
distinguished in the legal profession,
and several of them are recognized ns
standing in its front rank. Mr.. Wright
of Iowa is perhaps the least known
nationally.
All of these Senators are not only
superior to Williams in ability, attain
mcnts, anJ professional position, but
they know him to be destitute of a
single qualification for the great Office
which tho President has shamcfully
prostituted for his benefit. The ques-
ton now is whether they will lend
their aid to degrade the Chief Justice
ship; i|'so ..,,,,..-x,.,,,, :, -.
tation which has become SO conspicu.
Gus of late is not encouraging in a
case like this, where the President
brings to bear personal solicitation in
addition to official influence. The
whole social and political machinery
which is set in motion at the White
House is now excrted to procure q
confirmation, upon the plea that re-
lection would impliedly cast censure
upon the President. This is tho sort
of argument used at Washington to
conslmmate gross outrage on the
highest judicial tribunal, and it will
have its effect on Senators who should
be above such submission.
Mr. h. lockwood Hoar was rejected
for Associate Justice without one OF
the reasons that apply so forcibly to
this man Williams, lie stood high as
a jurist, his character was exalted, and
no reproach ever stained his good
name. Yet some of the members OF
this very Judiciary Committee strcnu.
ously opposed him. We shall see
what they will do now, when it is pro
posed TO drag the ermine Of tho CHIEF
Justice through the mire Of. filthy in.
trigde, and to confer the highest honor
upon man without merit, integrity
or fitness.
The press Of the country without
distinction Of party has pronounced
against this nomination, because it is
unworthy. There is not one public
act, opinion, argument, or proceeding
which can be cited TO extenuate this
wrong, while on the other hand noto-
rious venality, low arts, and abuse ol
every trust which have signalized the
career of Williams, such as it is, rise
up in Judgment against him. The
Senate cannot escape its responsible,
ty.-N. Y. Sun.

A Washington correspondent of the
Now York Sun, in alluding TO tho iact
that Grant 4 Co. want tho Govern
ment TO build houses for all the men,
bcrs Of the Cabinet, and to tho general
cxtravagance now prevailing at the
National Capital, says;
In the days of Jefferson, Adams and
Jackson, members Of tho Cabinet, IL
they rode at all, had their own car.
riages and horses. Now, not only
Cabinet officers, but their subordinates
have vehicles and horses furnished and
kept at public expense. Even their
drivers and footmen are kept on the
official rolls and paid out Of the ma
tional treasury. The Secretary Of tho
Treasury has ono carriage and ono
span of horses furnished and kept by
tho Government. The two Assistant
Secretaries of the Treasury have each
horse and carriage. The Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue has one
double and one single carriage and u
span of horses. The appointment
clerk has a horse and carriage. Tho
Superintendent Of the Treasury build
ing, an officer unknown to the law,
has one carriage, one buggy and one
horse. The Supervising Architect has
one horse and carriage. The Second
Auditor has horse and carriage
The Treasurer has a horse and car.
riage. The Superintendent Of the Bu-
renn &c Engraving and Printing has o
horse and carriage. All Of ,thesc car
riages are bought and paid for BY pub
lie money, and are kept at the expense
Of tho national treasury. There are
in addition five horses and two wag-
ons belonging TO the Treasury De-
partmcnt, and are chiefly employed
for the private benefit of certain OIL
cials. Tho expense of keeping up this
horse business for tho Treasury De-
paItment alone last year was nearly
$4,000. There are seven messengers
at a salary of $50 per month each,
whose only duty is to drive these Off
cials around 10 carriages provided by
Uncle Sam. The other departments
are no better. The Attorney General
has three horses and two carriages
The Secretary of the Interior has two
carriages and two horses, with driver
and footman, all furnished and kept
out OF the contingent fund OF his de-

DEATH OF PRoP. AGAssIz One of
our greatest scientific men, Professor
Agassiz, died at his residence in Cam
bridge, Mass, on Sunday evening last,
in the 9th year Of his age. The
whole world may well mourn the loss
of this great man, as in his death one
OF the brightest ornaments of science
has departed. He was born in Swift
zerland, was of French descent, and
had made this country his home for
the last quarter of century.
