Tweed himself is too sagacOus to look upon

prosecution. Judge Davis is to decide the
question to-day, and we have no fear,

INVESTIGATING TO FIND OUT.

When Mr.. Colfax got into his worst diff
Guilty before the Poland Committee some OF
the members kindly advised him to hire good
lawyer, who might do more to protect his rep
utation than he seemed capable of doing him
self. Perhaps it will not be impertinent if we
do similar good turn for the Committee and
advise them, if they want to finish this in
vestigation before the 4th of March, and
present a report which will have some chance
of intelligent consideration, to invite shrewd
counsel, skilled in the preparation of evidence
and the cross examination of witnesses, to
come to their relief and help them out Of
their difficulties. They are dependent now
almost entirely upon the intermittent memory
of Mr.. 0akes Ames. What they have dis
covered is chiefly the occasional facts which
it has suited that gentleman TO remember at
odd moments, the confirmation of them drawn
from his mythical memorandum book, and the
accounts of the Sergeant-at-Arms, and the
documents in the handwriting of Mr..
Patterson which have dribbled out Of
Ames's pocket now and then. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Ames has not told all he
knows: it is highly probable that Col Nc
Comb has not told all he knows; and the Com
mittee. far from pressing then, are apparently
afraid that they will tell too much. If the
had been conducted with skill

MISCdRRIED,


The inconseQuential result of the Tweed
trial, however disappointing, was not unex-
pected. Certainly it was very clearly fore
shadowed by THE TRIBUNE. We have not
insanely clamored for conviction which we
have always felt the facts fully warranted,
and thus deluded the public with vain hopes
We have not ON the other hand, failed to
warn the people so greatly concerned in this
issue that there was danger of losing It, And
while we have not concealed our suspicious of
the Jurors, we have not failed impartially to
point out the defects of the prosecution. Had
our suspicious of the jurors been more than
doubts of their intelligence and honesty,
they would have found equal emphasis
with our criticism of the blunders of
the prosecution which were patent to
everybody.
Later information regarding the jury not
only strengthens our suspicious of their intel
ligence but makes us wonder how it was pos
sible:to gather such a crew, from all parts ofithe
city, into single jury-box. 1t may be un-
pleasant to them for us to say it, and possibly
policy and politeness alike forbid that we should
say it, but it is nevertheless true that, with
few exceptions, they seem to have been
scraped from the slums 1t appears that three
of them are liquor-dealers, class not usually
credited with too great intelligence or too
much honesty. One was claim agent. On
his mentioning that he was also Custom
house employe, he was greedily caught
at by the prosecution, who, probably, did
not know that he had made him
self busy and obnoxious at Saratoga last
in off IN ha mn had Rar-
nard. One was a denizen of the fifth floor of
a tenement house, who regretted that the con-
clusion of the case robbed him Of his two
dollars day. And one certainly had
been in States Prison, and possibly two
wefe conviictsl The records of the United
States Courts show the Incarceration Of
one in Sing Sing prison; and The accu-
sation against another for cleansing de-
faced stamps is on file. And Of the records
of these men we are assured the prosecution
was well aware before the conclusion Of the
trial. Is the result any longer to be wondered
atf Is it not amazing that in the face of this
knowledge the trial was not interruptedf Is
it any longer singular that under such cir
cumstances of selection of juries the jury
system becomes farce, and justice is laughed
att
We have neither time nor patience to waste
further words on these people. We have had
occasion to comment on the bungling manner
of the inefficient prosecution, and we have
now nothing moro TO add on this point
than that we retract nothing Of what
Sss gone before. The moral of this failure
of the prosecution will probably force itself on

PATENT PLASTEH PAVEMENTS.


1--we cannot credit the rumOr that thus early
the Street-PeyspeRt Rings are again at work
at Albany. We have had enough of their
worthless work in this city and we hope if
legislators have any intention of inficting hny
more worthless patent pavements on any COM
munity of the State, that they will favor such
country towns as clamor for them. The
Metropolis has already wasted too many mil
lions in rotting timbers and sticking plasters
to desire any further legislation of that sort.
For the information of the Legislature and
the warning of property holders, we publish
elsewhere a clear statement of the cost and
condition of the patent pavements laid in this
city. Briefly stated, the cost was enormous, as
compared with that of other pavements, and
their present condition is one of utter worth
lessness. 1t will not only be actually cheaper
to relay entirely with stone the streets where
these patent pavements exist than to repair
the r0tting places, but the relaid pavement
will last three or four times as long as the re-
paired pavement This calculation, which
seems correct, ought to be enough to condemn
the patents perpetually.
There are some streets where, it is urged by
residents, the wooden, concrete, and asphalt
payements are desirable. Possibly, if there is
little or no traffic there. In that case let them
be laid and repaired at the expense of the
residents desiring them. But on the main pub

them rule crude, raw, harsh manners ana

add that there the evil ends. There Is
no people, we honestly believe, among whoms
outside of the fast circles of the cities, domes-
tic honor and woman's virtue are held as
intact and sacred as by the native Americans.
Her chastity or reputation to the young girl
reared in decent home life here is not
matter TO be talked of, or guarded or hedged
about from day to day by watchful spinsters
or mothers. She has very likely never heard
of Una nor given thought to her own inno-
cence, but she takes Bobs or Jacks arm for
stroll in the moonlight, or dance in ball or
barn, and is protected by that innocence abso-
lutely as by any lion. The suggestion in Tho
Spectator, that it might after all be safe TO
trust more to the natural sense of honor in
young girls, strikes an American oddly. The
virtue which needs this constant protection.

The CornhH writer provokes further un-

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN MODESTY.

There is a clever article in The CornhiU Mag
azine for this month, which has had the effect
of making our women and their m0desty, or
rather their lack of it, the subject for sharp
remark just new by the London press. The
article was evidently by magazine writer who
has made long enough stay in this country
to observe the surface peculiarities of our So
ccial life, and to serve them up i'll dishes of
gossip more or less savory for English readers
The descriptions are meant to be fair. The
stock part of the Sam Slick Yankee, never
seen in America except in an English play, is
therefore not reproduced, the writer not having
apparently such relish for the worn-out bur-
lesque as Mr.. Forster and his friend Dickens.

girls in respectable society walk, talk, and

One of the causes Of the Alabama quarrel is
contested seat in the State Senate Mr.
Martin is the Democratic claimant, and Mr..
Miller the Republican. The committee on the
case brought in two reports, the majority be-
ing in favor of Martin, and the minority of
Miller. Both admit that Martin had a ma
jority of all the votes cast; but the Re-
publican majority insist that one precinct
should be thrown out on account of infOr-
mality. 1t so happens that the President
of the Senate is a Republican, and when,
for the purpose of moving reconsideration,
the minority report was substituted for that of
the majority, he declared that that action gave
Miller, the Republican, his seat though neither
report contained anything to that effect A
motion to reconsider was denied; an appeal
from the decision of the Chair was treated in
the same way, and so Miller was sworn in on
the mere ruling of the Lieutenant Governor.
1t is hardly necessary to add that all these
violent proceedings, which nearly precipitated
a fight, are designed to send another hopeful
candidate to the United States Senate.

If the conduct of the officers of the vessel
which cut down the emigrant ship Northfeet,
in the English Channel. was heartless and bru-
tai, their running away from Portuguese
port to escape arrest was most cowardly. 1t
turns out that the steamer that ran into the
Northheet was the MurillO, bound to Lisbon.
The officers must have known what fearful
loss of life they had caused, but they kept on
their course without offering any assistance.
The news of their crime anticipated their ar
rival at Lisbon, and, warned from shore, they
put to sea again. and made for Spanish port,
since they cannot be reached there by any
requisition under British extradition treaty
Under these circumstances it Is not satisfac-
tory to learn that the officers of the Murillo
will be examined at Cadiz. There ought to be
a law of civilized nations covering all the high
ways of the sea, providing for the punishment
of such crime as that alleged against these
men.

Our letters from Paris and Berlin to-day
give details of the recent statements of the
Duke de GramOnt respecting the attitude OF
Austria during the late war. They also con-
tain some conjectures on the probability of
Austria's binding herself to such policy
as the Duke de Gramont indicates. 1t
is fact however which has hitherto
never been published. that. until the defeat of
the French army at Woerth, the Germans
were in constant expectation of declaration
of hostility on the part of Austria. This was
well-known at the Headquarters of the King,
and statements were made by persons high in
authority there that, if the French had been
successful in invading Germany. the Austrian
Government would have declared against
Prussia.
