DEADLY WEApoNs.-The deadly use OF
the pistol and knife are daily becoming
OF more frequent occurrence. The jour
nails in all parts Of the country teen
with reports of fatal ARRAYS and cold
blooded murders. and the reputation of
the Pacific coast has SO long suffered in
this respect is lately being fully earned
by many Eastern States and cities. Chi
cago papers say the report of the deadly
weapon may be heard almost hourly in
that city, and threaten prompt and effect
ual resorts unless check is placed upon
it. In our own vicinity whiting week,
one victim has been laid in the cold en-
brace of death, and another stands on
the very threshold, only to cross the dark
portals perhaps before another sun rises.
There is no remedy for all this, even in
certain prompt retribution for such Often
ces; but material preventive may be
found in an effectual prescription Of the
carriage of all muderous weapons. Take
the pistol and the knife from the murder.

The freedom Of the press" is the
boast Of Americans, but among the Rus
SLAMS, people held up to the admiring
gaze of the multitude during the late
war, can hardly indulge like boast, for
it seems that st. Petersburg, recently,
the editor of a daily newspaper, being
much impressed with the prevalence OF
drunkenness, determined to instruct the
public mind ON the subject, and, with
this view, took an excursion into the
country to collect facts on the subject.
There he found two typical villages-one,
where there was no tavern, all order and
thrift; the other, where the tavern was a
conspicuous object, all poverty, misery,
disease and dirt. On this he wrote q
powerful article, making an appeal to
right-minded persons to do what they
could to mitigate this evil, but he unfor-
tunately brought it to close by asking,
"Where are the clergy, and why do they
not preach against drunkenness?" The
police authorities, being unable to an
swer this home question, gave it up, and
settled the difficulty summarily by sup
pressing the edition of the paper in
which the article was to appear.

A Political DIAGNosIs.-"Coruption
wins more than honesty" 1t is true in
politics as in every other department Of
human activity. When corruption be-
gins in q party, when those who are I'M
worthy representatives of the party prin-
ciple become the leaders, and its meas
ures betray the recklessness and insolence
OF power, the party begins to decline. If
to-day there are many Republicans who
look gravely upon their party prospects,
it is because they see it apparently iden-
tilted with certain unworthy men and
measures. It is no answer to such Re.
pubiicans to say that there are bad men
in all parties, and especially in one so SUI
preme. That is freely admitted. No
party ought to be judged by its worst
members; but when those who are not
the best control party, and when the
best cannot honestly defend its measures,
it is idle to suppose that it will not be
judged by those men and those measures.
We do not say that such is the present
condition of the Republican party, bnt
there is no sincere Republican who reads
these words who does not see much in the
party tendency that makes him restless
and apprehensive.-[ Harper's Weekly.

MARSHAL BAZAINE CONDEMNED
TO DIE.

Our telegraphic advices in this morn
ing's issue announce that the Court Mar
tial at Versailles has found Marshal Ba- |
zaine guilty of the charges made against |
him in consequence OF the surrender OF
Metz, and be was condemned to be first
degraded and then to suffer death. Mar
shall Bazains has been in the active mill
tary service Of France for great many
years, bnt for one fatal error it seems
that he must suffer the extreme penalty,
unless the appeal for mercy should avert
it. His name came prominently before
the world during the fittul reign of Max
imilian in Mexico. While in command
of the French troops in Mexico he exer-
cised almost imperial authority, and
when, in February. 1866, he announced
his purpose to withdraw his forces from
Mexico, Macmillan was heard to utter
words which should live as long as a
lofty regard for true heroism finds a lodg-
ment in the heart of mani must
choose between death and dishonor.'
Bazaine returned to France, and ON the
breaking out of the Franco-Prussian war,
was assigned an important command,
that OF Commander-in-C Chief Of the forces
on the Rhine. He was at Metz with
$50, 900 men against three times that
number of German troops. On the 9th
OF October, 1870, King William sent the
following telegram to Berlin;
This morning Bazaine and Metz capt.
ulated A hundred and fifty thousand
prisoners, including 10000 sick and
wounded, laid down their arms.
From Abbotts Life of Napoleon III,
we copy the following concerning the
surrender Of Metz, which constitutes the
charge upon which Marshal Bazaine has
been found guilty and condemned to
death. 1t says;
For sixty-seven days the siege of Metz
had continued. The beleaguered troops
had expended nearly all their ammuni.
ton, and had eaten up their horses.
Famine had commenced its hideous
reign. The emaciate forms of the starv-
ing tottered through the streets. Surren.
der was inevitable. But Marshal Bazaint
did not fall unavenged. Forty-five thou
sand Prussians had persisted during thu
siege.
Abbotts account goes on to say tina
the Government of the French Republic
with NJ. Jules Favre as President, wish
ing to do everything possible to injur
Louis Napoleon and the empire, issue
the following proclamation on the 3Otl
of October, 1870:
Metz has capitulated. general upol
whom France relied has Just taken ava
from the country hundred thousand O
its defenders. Marshal Bazaine ha
betrayed us. He has made himself tn
agent OF the man of Sedan, and the az
complete of the invader. Regardless c
the honor Of the army of which he ha
charge, he has surrendered, without eve
making last effort, hundred an
twenty thousand fighting men, twent
thousand wounded, guns, caunons, co
ers, and the strongest citadel of Franc
Such crime is above even the punisl
ment of justice.

SOMEWHAT MrxED.-There seems as yet
to have been no adjustment Of differences
among members Of the California Legis-
lature by which the choice of United
States Senators is assured, although on
Tuesday next each House is required by
law to give its first vote for Senators.
The time is short, yet no combination
has been brought about between Repub-
lican and Democratic members, Republi-
cans and Independents, or Independents
and Democrats. The Democrats have
held a caucus without arriving at any
thing definite, and the Republicans have
done the same. On Friday evening,
however, the Democratic and Republican
members, respectively, will hold eau
Gus, and as both these wings meet on the
same evening there is no telling but that
the twoHny combine. If so, Newton

the United States, or Senator from Cali
