The new editor-in-chief of The Enquirer,
Major Baker P. Lee, makes his graceful
editorial bow in the columns of that jour-
nal this morning. His salutatory is brief,
courteous, direct, and strikingly to the
point. He assures the public that The En-
quirer will not be q partisan journal, but
that it will think for itself, speak for it
self, and be free from all other influence
than that exercised upon the heart and
mind of its editor by a jealous and careful
consideration of the rights, the interests,
and the honor of the people. This is a
high-minded and high-toned assu-
rance, and if our contemporary
strictly adheres to the course its new
editor has so gracefully and becomingly
mapped out for it, we shall have little occa-
sion to dissent from its management, ex-
cept as the mind-not the heart--of It's
editor shall differ in its judgments from
our own.
Mr.. Bennett, who has so ably conducted
| The Enquirer for several months past, will
we understand, be retained upon its edito'
rial staff. The new management has ON
| best wishes for its entire success in thu
public estimation, with a just n gener
Gus approval on all hands.

THE Tweed jury failed to agree. OF
course. Nothing was expected of the trial
but an acquittal or a disagreement, and this
would have been the case had the man
been proved a thousand times more guilty
than he is. Tweed is fortunate in being a
great scoundrel, a distinguished rogue ; and
the splendid proportions of his guilt, as in
most cases of the kind, are his protection
from punishment. 1t is reported that the
jury stood very largely in favor of the ac-
cused, some say eleven to one, others ten
to two. 1t is also found to be true that
one of the jurors had been in the States
prison, but had been pardoned out before
the end Of his term, so that he was still
competent to sit upon a jury. The same
person still has one or more indictments
pending against him, and he was in favor
| Of findin & Tweed guilty.

JAMES WILSON, the heroic brakeman
in Iowa, is one who deserves to have his
name passed around. He was off duty at
Calmar, in that State, during one of the
late fierce snow storms, when the mercury
was from twenty-five to thirty degrees
below zero and the wind blowing a gale,
and he took thirty pounds of crackers and
cheese to a blockaded passenger train seven
miles distant. He walked the whole dis
lance, badly freezing his face, ears, and
nose. John Lawler, of Prairie du Chen,
a passenger, placed upon his neck a heavy
gold chain in recognition of his self-sacri-
fee. The passengers had been without
food for more than o day and o half.

TELEaRAPHIC advices received from
Europe indicate that the offerings for the
new five per cent. funded loan of the
United States, will be in excess of the
amount advertised for sale. A part of the
loan, however, having been reserved for
sale in this country, the Treasury Depart
ment is in receipt of numerous applications
and letters of inquiry from the national
banks, showing a general disposition to
exchange their present securities in the
Treasury for the new fives. This action is
precipitated by the fact that the loan is
open for subscription but for a short time,
and by the further fact thatthe other issues
authorized bear only four and four and a
half per cent. interest.
