A CRIEVOUS BLUNDEP.

One Of the ablest Judges Of the Supreme
Court Of this District has materially impaired
his present usefulness by what we must char
acterize as injudicious zeal, or look upon as an
exhibition of most unbecoming vexation and
rage. IF it were not that the error is one
which may be promptly retrieved we should be
disposed to deplore it in stronger terms 1t is
blunder which may be go grievous in its
consequences that we cannot do less than con-
demn it. Judge Davis was chosen Supreme
Judge because the people knew him to be
learned and able, trusted in his honesty, and
believed in his judicial fairness. His arbitrary
refusal to poll the jury in the Train case, and
his angry commitment of the prisoner in spite
of the demurrers of lawyers and jurymen,
betray such unftness for the Judicial
Office as to grieve his friends and
create doubt and fear of him in
the public mind. We can conceive nothing
more unfortunate for judge, bar, and people
than the creation of such suspicion. 1t is
claimed that his decision was technically cor
rect, and while not believing it TO have been 80
in the true spirit Of law and justice, we do not
stop to dispute it. His grievous error was in
adopting tactics of the prisoners lawyers to
defeat their defense. 1t was not good prac-
tce on their part; it was undigniGed and de-
moralizing on his. Judge Davis's zeal would
have been appropriate in the Office of the Dis
trict Attorney, which he lately filed, but 1T was
in no sense judicial He Dayod in this case the

Indian fighting is said to be reduced to
science in the North West. Gen. Crook has a
corps of professional Indian fighters in Arr
zona, and Gov. Booth of California has been
solicitous that the United States troops in tho
Mcdoc region should be reinforced by simi-
lar organization. Gen. Schofeld has hereto
fore declined the aid prOffered; but we OBJ

May was the ffty-second anniversary OF the
death of Napoleon the First. There was a solemn
commemorative mass at the Invalides, partly. We
suppose, because the great man did not believe IN
the mass at ALL and therefore needed praying for all
the more. 1t used to be the custom Of the old
soldiers of the First Empire to march round ths
Column Vend6me and to decorate it with wreaths
of immortelles; but there is no Column Vend6me TO
march round now. and few veterans to march abous
il, even if it still stood.

ers will thank us for the interesting personal

1t is announced in Washington that the
President promises solemnly that no injustice
shall be done to Gen. Van Buren. Yet we
are told that there are no charges against
him, although he has been summarily removed
from the head of the Vienna Commission. 1t
is quite likely that Gen. Van Buren's friends
feel that the injustice has been done already

repeated his Postpone your marriage ~ She was
very much frightened but her friends told her that
it was the nightmare. Still the dead husband kept
coming aud kept saying the same thing. Then he

it spoke OF his wife and children "a deserving Of

Although the coalition against NJ. Thiers
gained a victory in the Assembly by the cleo
ton Of NJ. Buffet to the Presidency, it has
just suffered defeat. The choice of a Fourth
President was made a test of relative
strength yesterday, and NJ. Martel, the candi-
date of NJ. Thiers's supporters, was elected by
a small majority. The total vote, however,
was larger than that thrown when the Presi-
dent of the Assembly was chosen. This re-
verse will dismay the opposition, and will
proportiOnately encourage the friends of order.
But we must wait for the crisis of Friday-for
which great preparations are making-before
forming an opinion as to the positive strength
of the two parties.

In the Connecticut Senate, yesterday, the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
making Hartford the sole capital received one
more than the necessary two-thirds vote. 1t
now goes to the House for concurrent action.
Receiving two-thirds vote in that body, which
now seems quite probable, the amendment
goes to the people for ratification by ma
jority vote, next October, which will end in
Improbable and bitter local controversy, which
has for several years past disturbed the poll
ticians and set at nought a great many wise
fOrecastings Of election results.

The report of the retiring Dock Commits
sioners is published elsewhere, together with
tho accompanying financial statement of the
Department. The work accomplished by this
Commission is very clearly set forth. Most
readers will be surprised to learn how much
has been done. That more was not accom-
plished is the fault of circumstances rather
than of the Commissioners. They began upon an
elaborate plan, which only many years could
complete. Had they obtained a new lease
of life under government which possessed
the confidence of the people, the dock system
as planned by them might have been SO firmly
established as to become eventually the per-
manent and unalterable design of all future
administrations. 1t remains, however, with a
new Board to adopt this or some other sys-
TEN; and probably before this new Commits
sion has fairly undertaken work on its plan, a
third will alter the scheme again. This is the
misfortune of having material enterprises sub
ject to political control.

The Ohio Republicans could not have ex-
pected, yesterday, very enthusiastic State
Convention. This is not the season for much
political warmth. Their platform is fully equal
to the average of these affairs, which are at
best, only perfunctory. This year, however,
the railway transportation question and
one or two other topics of general
discussion demand and receive some eau
tious treatment. The denomination Of Gov.
Noyes is deserved compliment to a
gallant soldier who lost limb on the field Of
battle, and who has governed Ohio well and
wisely. He is devoted Republican of the
extreme Administration type. So far as these
qualifications, high character and faithful
party services constitute a claim, he is en-
titled to the United States Senatorship, for
which it is understood he is a candidate.

COURT Of SESSIONS.
Empa nelling the Grand Jury-Tho

Referred to.

Empa melting the Grand Jury-Tho
Judges Charge-Rodman's Robberics
Referred to.
Before Judge Moore.
Grand Jury was empanelled yesterday morn.
ing, with F. A. Briggs as foreman, and Judge
Moore charged them at some length. The court
room was crowded, as it was expected that the
Judge would make some allusion to the recent
robberes OF the city treasury, and their expecta.
tions were realized. In the opening part
Of his charge the Judge referred to
the crime OF the city, saying:-"It is q
remarkable thing that in city like
thus we should be so free from crime. Notwith-
standing what mas been SAID about the streets and
In the press OF the increase OF crime 1t Is remark
able that there are so few serious crumes In city
OF 900 people 1t is not TO be expected that we
should he very free rom crime but undertake to
say that in no city with half the people is there less
crime. Our nearness to New York affords an op-
portunlty for the criminal class 10 come over here
and commit offences, and the ferries afford such
easy escape that it is very difficult at times to
make arrests"
RODMAN's RoBBERIEs
Then said the Judge You will have before you
crimes OF all degrees. There are some that have
created Il great deal OF talk IN the city. We all
know that recently dealcatiOns have been charged
against public officers IN the city, and 1t appears to
be conceded hat the city treasury has teen robbed
OF a large amount by some persons. 1t is not Tor
me to Judge OF the guilt or innocence OF any party.
IL VIII be time enough Tor me to DO it when they
come before me Tor sentence, If they are found
guilty. IL appears to me that is getting tObe
PUBLIC REPRoAon TO JUSTICE
that man who steals $50 Is sent to state Prison.
while those who steal hundreds OF thousands are
allowed 10 go free, and hope the experience OF
our sister city will not he ours Whoever has been
tampering with the public funds whatever ofiicer
mas been guilty oil misuse or embeZZlement, ought
10 be punished. Irecommend you 10 make care
lu' examination OF the cases that may be presented
TO you. 1t IL serious thing for man to be charged
with crime, but when he has committed an OIL
fence
no CONSIDERATION. Personal OR POLITICAL,
or any thlng else, must deter you in your duty IN
the matter.
The balance OF the charge was devoted to an ex-
panati0n OF the details Ol the work the Jury, and
III concluding the Court requested them to despatch
their business as promptly as possible instead OF
allowing their booy TO be converted into debating
society.
