Continuation Of the Trial Of the Man
Who Surrendered Metz.
SECOND DAY.

PANS October I'm the Bazaine
,-ourt-nRrtial, to-day, the reading Of
Reviere's report was continued. Re
Were arpues to show that the means Of
communicating between Paris and Metz
were ample, and that Bazaine's refusal
10 combine his f1ces with the other
armies m the field was criminal. The
marshal is accused Of pursuing a
personal policy, by which the
enemy profited. There is evidence that
he even refused to assist In the effort 10
furnish provisions TO Metz. Bazaine's
action Is partially attributed TO heslta-
tion, caused by the news from Sedan
and Paris, and partially to his secret Me-
20 tiation with the enemy. Whatever
government there was in France lie
should have fought for it, instead OF lis
aeniug to the overtures OF the enemy,
receiving their agents, and otherwise
nlotting for the restoration of the
empire. He only thought of maintain
ing the army in a good condition 10
NAV the political part he designed.
Had Bazaine done his duty by taking
bis army into the interior of France,
leaving Metz TO defend herself, Metz
would have held out until the Rrmistiee,
and Lorraine would never have been
ceded. Riviere continues: "a lorelg1
war was not enough. Our unhappy
country was consigned 10 the horrors Of
civil war, and what did Marshal Ba-
Zaine de then? He united with the en-
envy to overthrow the government OF
his country" The report condemns
ahe marshal for falling 10 destroy the
Enateral Of war at Metz, while be was
careful to destroy all cOrrespOn-
depce which might compromise him
self; for frequently receiving in person
visits Of German officers, and generally
Tor manifesting undue haste to capitu-
late TO the enemy. The reading Of the
report was not concluded st the adjourn
Enent OF the court. The hearing OF the
remainder, together with other docu-
T1ents touching Bazaine's management
of artillery and commissariat at Metz

orn GREAT AFrLICraoN.

1t is with heartfelt sorrow that We an
nounee to-day that the fever knows no
appreeiahle abatement, and that il Is
gradually encircling the city, taking
with it many of our prominent citizens.
Our heart grows heavy and our eyes
dim as we look back upon
the dreadful work of the pestilenee, and
we ery in anguish of soul, "How long,
o Lord, how long ~ Hundreds of our
poor people have paid the debt Of ma
ture and fearful tithing to the pesti-
lence, and yet it is not staid,
but moves with Tesistless force
taking from US the lovely, the brave,
the generous and the useful. Every
night the death-ro is called, and every
night reveals a list all too long, bearing
the names Of those we loved 10 honor
OF tho e TO whom We looked as brothers,
bound in the common effort of
making a great city and earning for
Memphis name to be proud Of among
the cities Of the land. Priests, minis
tiers and laymen, the babe just born,
the sucking at the breast, the "wee
thing toddling in its first effort, cur
school-children, our budding flowers,
the loveliest of their sex, the mother,
the father, the brother, the friend and
partner are all cut down untimely 10y
the remorseless enemy, and men stand
in awe, asking, When win it end?"
Good Samaritans are working,
physicians exhaust the most sci
enufie skill, aid pours in upon
us from those abroad whom
God in his mercy exempts from the
scourge, and sll to little purpose. The
victims of the plague increase in num-
bers. Surely, if God wills it, We have
had enough. Our cup of sorrow, of trial
and of tribulation is bIimful and run
ming over. For thirteen years we
have known nothing but excitement
and trouble. Death has many times
laid his heavy hand upon US, and
destruction has been about Us on every
side. The prey of revolution, OF war,
of oppression, Of panic and of disease,
we cry with loud voice
and almost in despair, 'Is there
no balm in Gilead? Is there no
nepenthe for the hearts so ruthlessly |
torn in Memphis? Is there no future
for our stricken city? Is there no hope
out Of present binding darkness?n
We read in the good book, and
we feel there is. We have
faith not yet shaken. We have
"A trust not yet broken. We have
confidence not yet impaired. Out
Of present afiiction We are to
emerge purer, better, stronger. Out Of
present sorrows we are to learn the les
son Of life. And out of this surrounding
death and gloom is 10 come the
light that will light US as a
community into a broader, a more
humane, a more liberal and more
tolerant pathway Of life. We are TO
learn to bear and torbear. We are to
learn to be less selfish. We are to learn
Ihat we are to live and labor for each |
other and not for ourselves alone. In
bitterness of keart the lesson is to-day |
being learned by those at home who |
bear the brunt of tbs>pestilence, and by
those abroad w5o are filled with anxiety |
because Of our danger. Let US lay it TO
heart, and with Gods help, profit by it.
Let no change in good times to come
blot out from us the memory Of these
awful days, when the man of to-day is
the cOrDse of tomorrow.

Royal Honors.

On Monday last, the two Governments and lead
ing naval powers of the world, Great Britain and
the United States, extended TO LUNALILo, King
of Hawaii, the highest honors granted to any ruler
by the navy of either country.
In manning the yards and discharging the guns
Of the ships, was from ancient times symboized the
disarment Of the protecting power sent out by
these nations, and for the time their virtual subjec-
ton to the power represented by the parsonage so
honored. The ceremony is beautiful and impressive,
and on this occasion was made more significant from
the fact that the salute was fired both when His
Majesty stepped on the deck Of the California, and
when he was returning to the shore.
These high marks of honor, together with the in
structions given TO Admiral Pennock to place the
ships under his command at the service of His
Majesty for the purpose of a Royal Progress among
his islands, show that the United States Government
is DESTROYS of helping Hawaii nei in all her efforts to
sustain her position as an independent state. And
it is not asking too much of this Government TO re-
ouire Of our Ministers the adoption of a home and
foreign policy that will, so far as possible, be in ac-
cord with that of the Great Republic, which will not
be chary of its favors if proof can be shown that
those favors are not abused through neglect. 1t will
be much more satisfactory if we make a few mis-
takes In our efforts to progress, than it will be for us
to be always consistent in the performance of q do
nothing policy, that ensures our decay and death as
a nation.

The Needed Link.

In a recent speech made by Mr.. Cyrus W.. Field,
he said that there was now in process of making the
cables needed to complete the telegraphic circuit ct
the world, and mentioned that there were two routes
by which TO close up the gap across the Pacific
Ocean, viz by the Aleutian Isles, and via the Haw-
allan Islands.
We have taken occasion heretofore to point out the
many advantages attendant upon the last named of
these two routes. The advantages are not all on our
side. The sole objection so far as we know that is
entertained by the projectors of the scheme for sup
plying the needed link, is that the distance from the
Pacific coast to Japan via Honolulu, is 1900 miles
longer than it would be via the Aleutian Isles. In
every other respect, the longest route is the best.
Now We know no good reason why this government,
our importers, planters, and in fact the entire COM
munity, should not help to bring the telegraphic
cable this way, by proposing to take an amount of
stock in the company equivalent to the cost of this
1900 additional miles, and by granting to the COM
pany that will first land q working cable on our
shores from the United States, the exclusive right 10
the use of the islands as a mid-ocean station, for
such a term of years as will enable the successful
company TO become a fixed fact.
The late administration did grant to the represent
alive of Mr.. Field and others the right to land a cable
and use the government roads, etc free Of tax; but
upon being pressed to make this privilege exclusive,
they declined, on the ground that the government
was opposed to monopolies! Consistent that, when
but one license is granted for the importation and
sale of opium; but one authorized for the distilling of
spirits; and two for auctioneers; while the ~purchas-
ing Of needed supplies was in the hands of a close
corporation - the Ring! However, Eve have
changed all that" and we hope that the present
Cabinet will fully appreciate and endeavor to secure
to the country all the untold advantages that will
accrue to US by being placed in telegraphic cOmmu-
~nication with the rest of the world.

A Good Sign.

Among the announcements by Authority "
which appear this week, there is one in particular
that gives general satisfaction. We refer to the call
by the Minister of the Interior for sealed tenders for
material to be used in the construction of the new
government buildings. This is a gratifying indica-
ton that the new Ministry intend at the outset, to
adopt the principle of fair play and no "rings" in
the purchase of supplies for the public service. We
hope to see this policy, so just and honorable for all
concerned, fully established and adhered to in the
future, in the procuring Of needed supplies for every
department Of the government. In this way will be
obviated the possibility Of the disreputable and inju-
rious complaints which have been heard under the
policy Il former administrations.
