AND now the New York Euening Post has
discovered that the country has been more
and more thoroughly approaching year by
year, that Senator Conkling of New York is
not only an honest but an able man. Per-
haps no one of our public men has been more
persistently misrepresented and maligned
than Mr.. Conkling, and the Post has always
been foremost in assaults upon him. It is
refreshing to see so bright an example of ster-
ling integrity and ability living down detrac-
ton and turning blame into praise by sheer
force of straightforward adherence to hon
orable and statesmanlike purposes. Senator
Conkling is man of whom his State and the
nation have just cause to be proud.

The New Jersey Legislature is consider
ing the matter of removing the State capital
to Newark or Elizabeth principally on ac-
count of the outrages perpetrated upon the
dignity of that body by the mobs that invaded
the State House during the progress of the

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-An Ogdensburg, N.

brought to recover about 81, 400-for supplies
furnished the Ogdensbnrg & Lake Champlain
road, leased by the defendant roads, and prop
erty on the road was attached. A molten was
made to dissolve the attachment, which motion
was granted on the ground that all the proper
ty was held under authority of the Court of
Vermont, in trust, and for the purposes of the
trust, and could not be attached on a suit
brought against the trustees in their official
capacity; but that John Gregory Smith, W. c.

A CABLE despatch says that tie Berlin
newspapers express great indignation at the
sentiments expressed by President Grant in
his inaugural, and declare that monarchical
governments should cease to hold diplomatic
relations with this country. The offending
of the President lies in the fact that he ex-
pressed the opinion that the tendency of the
age is toward Republican forms of govern
ment-a fact that passing events fully estab-
fish. Doubtless it is knowledge of this fact
that rouses the ire of those divine-right-of

second Congress.
THE first division of the new parliament of
the Dominion occurred last Friday on an
election case and in such way as to show
the relative strength of the ministerial and
opposition parties. The vote stood 95 to 49,,
so that the present ministry has majority of
about twenty against sixty strong in the last
parliament. This is small majority particu-
larly where members are likely to be more IN
fldenced by measures affecting local inter
than by party name that represents no lead
ing principle or policy. 1t is said that II the
ministry does not accede to the demands Oh

John A. Macdonald's government grants
| New Brunswick what it asks, he IS equally
certain to offend the province of Ontario and
send its members to the opposition benches.
If. therefore, seems quite probable that the
present government of the Dominion may be
found in the minority at most any time in
the future.

was to be expected, he marched off and Jug
gernauted himself under the wheels of a

light, but if the susceptibility to homicidal
