THEIRS And THE Thirty.

The Committee of Thirty in the French
Assembly have finished their labors, and their
report will be made by their most illustrious
member, the Duke de Broglie. He is not the
most persuasive speaker nor the ablest states
man in the Assembly by any means, but few
legislative bodies have ever come together III
France even under former mOnarchical gov
ernments, in which the power of a great name
would be more sensibly felt than in this
Republican Parliament. There is little genuine
democratic faith to be found in it. The mo-
tives which appeal most strongly to its men,
bers are those which form the staple of all
conservative arguments for generations past
the preservation of property, the respect for
order, the saving of society. These are all
admirable ideas. The only objection to such
a use of them is that all the world is agreed
in relation to them, NJ. Gambetta, the same as
NJ. Joseph Prudhomme But there are so many
men in the Assembly of the type of that ideal
bourgeois, that a conservative report, presented
bv a gentleman with so much land and so
many quarterings as the Duke of BrOglie, one
who is politician enough to be an ambassador,
and learned enough to be Member of the
Academy, cannot fail to impress strongly the
lOTd-l0Vlng occupants OF Tie DenCneb vi inc
Right and Center. 1t would be imprudent to
predict the issue of the debate which is about
to open. But it is evident that the Com
mittee come into the Chamber with all
the chances in favor of their report.
A two-thirds majority agreed on all questions
of principle throughout the discussions the
true Republicans being much less strong rel
atively in the sections which elected the
Committee than in full vote of the Assem-
bly,. Nothing has happened to diminish the
majority which supported the Committee at
its formation. 1t is even imagined by some
that the extinction of the imperial cause by
the recent death at Chiselhurst has rather
increased the hopes of the mOnarchical party
in the Legislature.
But it is now clear that the President does
not intend to accept without. resistance the
conclusions Of the Committee. 1t has been
hoped from the beginning that some modas
Ciuendi would be hit upon between him and
the Thirty, and though the Committee showed
little sign of fiexibility, it was only on Satur-
day that it became certain they would make
no substantial concessions to the Executive
1t is true that they adopted an amendment
giving him twO-months' suspension veto over
bills which have passed the Assembly. This

THE REAL ISSUE.

II is clearly understood by all classes that
there is a bitter feud between Mayor Have
never and the CustOm-hOuse managers, who
nominated him last Fall. He will not aid them
to get full possession of the City Treasury by
the expulsion of Mr. Green from the Con-
trollership and they are resolved to deprive
him of all power. That the people I'M
derStand this much is apparent from the prop
OstiOn for public meeting TO condemn,
in advance, the contemplated outrage. We
hope it will be held, and at once. There
are some who counsel delay until the Ring
has "shown its hand.n We warn all such
persons that, if public indignation does not
thwart this scheme by unequivOcal expression,
when the Ring shows its hand all the power
of the municipal government will be tightly
grasped in it. To prevent is always cheaper
than to correct. This people must act now If
they would retain their power.
For, after all, it is the people, not the Mayor
whom the political managers seek to rob OF
power. This is the real issue. 1t has
been animated to Mr.. Havemeyer that
he can continue to exercise the power
if he will use it to suit the managers.
In other words if Mayor Havemeyer will
act as q RO-DeiWctuy Ht CbJoJ OhO
empty dignity. Mayor Havemeyer was the
candidate of no party. The Committee of
Seventy first suggested him; the Council of
Political Reform first indOrsed him. the Ger
man organizations early and enthusiastically
supported him. the Custom-hOuse clique
finally nominated him as last resort; and thou
sands of Liberal Republicans and Democrats
voted for him. OF three candidates he was
essentially the no-party champion. The Tam
many candidates popular strength was I'M
suspected; his organization was in dreadful
disrepute The Apollo Hall candidate was
known to be INSCRIPTIONS and dishonest, and
to be supported in his canvass by Custom
house funds solely to take away votes from
the Tammany candidate. Mr.. Havemeyer was
taken up by the CustOm-hOuse party only be-
cause he was the candidate of the people who
were bent on reform, not because they wanted
him.
To this Mayor the people deliberately deputed
the existing powers of the Mayor. From this
Mayor of the people the Custom-hOuse man
ayers as deliberately design to take away all
influence and authority. This outrage the
people only now can foil; and it cannot be
done by sitting down to wait until the poll
ticians show their hand. If they would pre-
vent the growth and success of Ring
as INSCRIPTIONS as that which has been
scotched, not killed, they must act promptly
and vigorously.

in less degree of Lincoln. The reason why
the service continued 80 respectable during
the Administrations of the last two. was that
Mr.. Seward possessed enough influence and

A curious objection to any proposal to ex-
pei Mr.. Caldwell from the Senate has been
developed. 1t is said that the Committee
which have been investigating the charges of
bribery in his case are unanimous as to his
guilt. But it is also said that some Senators
will oppose any motion to expel him because
that would he setting up a standard of mo-
rality in the Senate-unless it were shown
that he bought votes enough to determine his
election. The ground of this objection IL,
we suppose, that if this thing goes
on there is no knowing where it will stop.
We take it that Mr.. Caldwell's alleged oflense
is not against morality but against public
Justice. 1t is a political crime rather than an
immoral action for which he has been tried

attempt to expel a member for stealing; but

MR.. TWEFD'S ESCAPE.

We were hopeful enough a few days ago
to say that we did not look upon the mis-
carriage of the Tweed trial as equivalent to
his escape. We have since reluctantly come
TO the opposite conclusion, and are now of
opinion that this great culprit is to be as free
from further prosecution as Mr.. Hall. His indict-
ment, like that Of the ex-Mayor, has gone to be
pigeoD-holed in the District Attorneys office.
We believe this escape is the consequence Of a
political bargain made last Fall and exposed
by us then and since We are surprised to
find some sensible journals, still ignorant of
the open secrets of this trial. or rather of this
intrigue, and still bewildered about the result.
The facts are patent enough to all who have
closely watched the trial. The ignorance of
the Jury and the incompetence of the counsel
for the prosecution were clearly displayed in
the selection of the tribunal, and were early
pointed out by The TRIBUNE. In an issue
published two days before any evidence was
taken, we cited proofs of this ignorance and
incompetence, and added that we could not
congratulate the people on the prospects of
the case Before the trial was half concluded
we warned the people that Mr.. Tweed was to

counsel so gross as to be suspicious, and
abiding to characters on the jury so bad as
to be dangerous.
OF the lack of readiness, or of familiarity
with the case which the counsel for the prose-
cutiOn showed throughout, every intelligent
lawyer can speak. But the blunder which
overshadowed all others was in going to trial
at all with such jury. Who supposes that
with capable Cor earnesD prosecution,
a juror would have been accepted who was
VIGOROUSLY identified with Judge Barnard ;
OF another who had served in the States
Prison, or others almost as VIGOROUSLY unfit
to try the casef What sort Of vigilance is
this which abuses the jurors after the verdict,
instead Of challenging them before the panel

who was not choice in bis occupations, but
was willing to do anything from shovellng
snow to picking pockets, sitting on jury, or
otherwise defrauding people and justice, they
were right in so designating him. He
was on the panel properly enough.
The summons was marked n. f., which
means that he was not found by the Sherif7s
officer when serving the summons. Thus far
all right. Yet this mans name was put in the
box, as it should not have been; it was called,
as it should not have been, for he had not
been summoned; and he responded and was
accepted Now DO it remembered that these
facts were known to the prosecution; and yet
this suspicious juror was permitted to sit
There was another juror who had been in
State Prison. We have the admission of one
of the counsel that during the trial this fact
was limited at, an agent was sent to sing sing
and the story confirmed; and yet the trial was
not interrupted Whyi It was improper in
the counsel who knew this to risk verdict
from such juror If with that knowledge any
effort was made TO control that jurors decision
the act was criminal. On which horn OF the
dilemma does the counsel elect TO restf
Still another juror was VIGOROUSLY friend of
the prisoner He had been months before at
Saratoga vainly handling the fund with which
the Ring sought to save Barnard that he
might try Tweed. He was a member of the
notorious club of which Mr. Tweed was Presi-
dent. His name was not in the original panel,
and how he came to be summoned and drawn
is still mystery. We have information that
the character of this juror, his membership in
Mr.. Tweeds club, his active friendship for
Barnard, were made known to the counsel for
the prosecution, who not only improperly per-
mitted him to remain upon the jury, but, as
we are told-though we can hardly believe it
possible-professed to be able to control him.
Do not these extraordinary circumstances
clearly warrant belief that the people were
trihed with in this trialf DO they not
prompt the suspicion, if indeed they do not |

agreed upon in the Fall was carried out in

was a modification of their original peremptory
provision requiring the President to promul-
gate all urgent laws within three days, and
all laws not urgent within one month OF their
passage. NJ. Theirs objected very strongly TO
this, as also TO the excessive formahties re-
quired before he could address the Assembly.
In relation to this last matter, NJ. de Hausson-
vile introduced an amendment, which was
adopted, that the Council of Ministers
shall decide when the presence OF the Presi-
dent is required in the Assembly dur
ing debates on interpretations. but tho
far moro important questions reiaung 10
the formation of the permanent legislative
bodies, the limitation of powers ana the
organization of the Executive during the in
terval which is to elapse before this
defnitiye Legislative body shall enter upon
its functions received no satisfactory treat
ment. The efforts of NJ. Dufaure were useless
to effect a consideration of them. The ma
iority in the Assembly have taken such dis
like to suicide that they will not even discuss
the subject. They will not entertain even a
remote suggestion of their mortality. The
courtiers of Louis XV.'s time used to say, The
deuge may come, after u.s." But the deputies
of the Right insist upon it that nothing but
holding on to their seats will delay the deluge
We were informed by Cable month ago
of one of the most important demands made
to the Committee by the Executive M. liners
then urged that provision be made for the
extension of the Executive power for term
of six weeks after the day on which the
Assembly might dissolve. But this touched
the vital point of the disagreement, and the
positive refusal of the Committee TO act
upon the suggestion shows the deep
divergence and distrust which has been
developed between the Right and the
President, and which no concessions on his
part have seemed sufficient to counterfeit.
They make q thousand protestatiODs of mu-
tual confidence and fidelity, but the truth Is
that they do not trust each other. NJ Theirs
sees that the majority is secretly monarchical,
and the monarchists tbegin TO appreciate the
fact that NJ. Theirs is loyal to the Republic.
Neither party can endure the thought OF the
other surviving it. Each seems to consider any
risk or iregularity preferable to an ar
rangement which would leave tho other
in the possession of the machinery OF the
elections IL is not impossible that some pow
erful manifestation of public opinion may yet
interfere to break the threatened deadlock.
The latest dispatches speak of the surprise
and concern which were felt in Paris yester-
day over the final action of the Committee.
The general anxiety was seen in the
feverishness of financial circles. and in
the gathering crowds on the BOulevards
discussing the prospects of an arrangement
between President and Chamber. 1t Is of
course not impossible that the Assembly may
yet side with the Executive against their own
Committee; but this is not indicated at pres
ent, and if Paris knows any means OF Impress
ing Versailles with the Importance of the crisis,
such means should be employed without delay.

OF DIPLOMATIC CHANGES.

Once more it is reported from Washington
that after the Fourth of March there are to be
sweeping changes made in the Diplomatic
Service. We would not advise our friends
who believe in Civil Service Reform to waste
any enthusiasm over this announcement
It will be necessary to scan the list of
the successors of the present Ministers
before we congratulate ourselves on their
removal. 1t will be difficult to find ADLER
and more accomplished men than those
whose names are said to be marked for recall.
II their places are to be filed according to i'm
memorial custom by defeated Congressman,
victims of investigating committees, or impor-
tunate personal friends Of the President, it
will be as well to leave them as they are. 1t
would be possible, if the usual course were
followed, to find some one to follow Cramer
and Hudson without violence to the homo
geneity Of succession. But would it be worth
doing9
The Diplomatic Service certainly needs a
thorough oyefhauling, hrt it is unreasonable
to expect any reformation OF it so long as
Gen. Grant is President, and Mr.. Fish Secre'
tary of State. The former l'as little regard
for the service. He considers H. useless, 1.-Two
lous, and aristocratic, and he takes pleasure
in trampling upon its pride by forcing
into it the lowly whom he has raised
from tho mire. This is common
fault of all Presidents of inferior cuih. re.

their own local government and police
courts. Both reorganize the jury system.
and both give the U. S. Courts
original criminal law jurisdiction. The
strife will be over the proposition to break
up the charter system; the Mormons will
naturally urge that they have as much right
to municipal self -government as anybody else.
OF course, the answer TO this is that they can
not be trusted to govern themselves Mr..
Merritt's proposition to withhold the right Of
citizenship from any bigamous alien who asks
for naturalization is too absurd TO be enter
