Our neighbor The World has, after a long course
of SHINING, repented. and done works meet for re-
pentance; in other words, it has abandoned the
ugly and tasteless display headings to the news,
which consume so much space in many papers, and
prove so often but sounding prelude to an empty
tale. Its appearance is thus vastly improved. Its
readers get more news for their money, in more
attractive shape and have the satisfaction of being
treated less like children and more like rational
creatures. We join cordially in tho hope, which
The World expresses that advertisers may soon learn
that their favors also will be attractive, and
more sure to be read, when less dis6gured by
splotchy display.

ENGLAND AND HER REVIEW.

Really the condition of England is discOur-
aging, if we are to believe The Saturday Re
yier. While some of their papers are prov
ing that but one-eighth of the population are
raised above a condition OF want, 1he ReuaeW
takes ND the wOeful tale, and proceeds to
demonstrate that more than seven-eighths are
not only in lack of money, but ignorant and
fools, incapable of forming an opinion on any
question of public interest-such, for example,
as our late civil war. Out of this Intelligent
eighth a large majority, says Ihe Rer'ew,
think of nothing but their own occupations,
so that possibly thousandth part OF the ma
ton has some sort of view on any given
popular subject, which it calls conviction.
AS for the war, The ReuieW is surprised that
Americans were indignant at the sympathy
shown with the South. We sought to have
remembered that but an infnitesimal mi
"nority attached any idea whatever to
"the issues involved, and only the
"smalest fraction of these could bear
"five minutes examination on the question.
"Should Americans be angry" it asks, " IL
this fraction formed a wrong judgment on
"a matter of which it could not possibly
"know the rights aud the wrongsW Who
could be angry in the face of such humilityY
The ReUieu having been a leader OF the
" fraction" for whom it now puts in plea OF
ignorance, it surely ought to be competent
witness rs to their incapacity. The ReUiew
forgets that it fights The ReUieG, and hits be-
low the belt.
The truth is, that the mass of the people
on this side of the water (who do comprehend
in
usually hit the nail on the head with peculiarly
unerring justce) have well-Digh forgotten and
forgiven the part which England took in the
time of our trouble. The South is perhaps
sorer against her than the North; he who
wins can afford to be good-humOred. SO
we choose to doubt The Reuiews wholesale
denunciatiOn of the British people. 1t is
easier to suspect the critic to have been suf-
fering from fit of spleen or an undigested
dinner than to believe all England to be only
an aims house or idiot asylum. There are
more intelligence and broader and more divers
outlooks belonging to the mass of any pOpu-
lation than can be cOmprehended by single
mind especially if that mind has been trained
to a high but narrow occupation. The
hard common sense, the shrewdneSs,
the information on practical matters
which constitute the popular intellect,
we always find men sneer at whose occupation
is of genre character; it is the artist, the
scholar, the critic, who talks of the cGnGille.
SO we have hopes for hard-headed, hard listed
John Bull, even though The ReUiew writes him
down an ass. In fact, its wholesale sweep of
the nation outside of The ReUieoC office to
mbecility, puts us in mind of the story of the
Scotch dame who held that all the world
was going to damnation except her own kirk
in Glasgow, and presently, with her husband,
left it also on account of its errors. "Then,"
said the minister "you hold that none but
"you and your guide mon in the world are
"sure of salvationg" ain truth, Sir,' quoth
she, 81 hae my doots o. John"

1t will be seen by an article printed in
another column chat the proposed Republican
charter does not meet the full approval OF the
Committee of Seventy. Many of the differences
are radical. Nor do the other Reform or
carnations which helped to secure the
Republican triumph approve the Republican
charter. The simple reason is that while the
triumph of last Fall was that of Reform, the
Charter is entirely CustOm-house. Some of
the radical differences between the Committee
of Seventy and the Republican Committee are
as follows: The former object to the
Republican proposition to restrict the Mayors
power of appointment of heads of
departments by making the consent
of the Board of Aldermen necessary; they
also object TO making the official terms OF
these heads of departments vary from that of
the Mayor. They discover mere partiSanship
In the 65th Section of the Republican Charter,
which makes pretty nearly a clean sweep of the
offices now filled; and this, they argue, is an
infringement on the desired powers of
appointment by the Mayor. These are the
main objections; and they are all con-
sistent with the general criticism of
the Committee of Seventy that the Republican
Charter is made in the interests of the party
rather than of reform and the general good.
This admission of the trainers of the Charter
is reasonably and heartily condemned.

No honest effort for the spread of sweetness and
light is ever wasted. In the Legislature of New
Jersey judcious member yesterday introduced a
resolution to suppl, the law-givers of that State
with twenty copies apiece of THE TRBUNE's extra
sheets containing the lectures of Prof Tyndal, the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Mr. Fields, DR..
Bellows. Mr.. Wendell Philips, and the luminous
Sandwich Island letters of Mark Twain. This will
be infinitely better than any quantity of stationery
or Congress eloquence. A careful reading of such
science and learning rs our lecture sheets furnish
will insure to any Legislature a successful term,

reelection.

The statements of Messrs. James Brooks
and Jas. w. Patterson are the principal items
of interest in the Credit MObilier iDvestlga-
ton of yesterday. Mr.. BroOks's explanation,
while far from satisfactory, leaves more IA
vorable impression on the mind of the reader
than any which he has made before. Briefly,
he says that he had no idea that
there was anything wrong In the Credit
Mobilier investment which lie advised his SON
in-law to make that he had no personal in
terest in that transaction, but lent the money
to his relative, Mr.. Nelson, as he would have
done had he seen any other highly flatterng
chance for profitable investment. AS for
Mr.. Patterson, who is a Senator from New
Hampshire, he has the same general
opinion of the morality of the transaction in
which he was engaged as Mr. Boyer and Mr..
Kelley seem still to have. He thinks that the
course of the press in dragging to the fierce
light of public criticism the honorable gentle
men who were innocently profting by specu-
lations in Credit MObiier stock is to the last
degree brutal and cruel; and we are promised
more of his views on this subject by and by.
The other Committee elected no more inter-
esting information than the point that $4,000
was used in Washington for special purposes
by the Union Pacific Railroad Company.

There il something very dsoouraging In Vi,e
main features of the latest homicide case III
This c;tv. The cause of Magruders killing
Tockwood seems to have been most trivial
the act of homicide looks wanton and Thought
less. and the conduct of the slayer since
tbe tragedy is calculated to ALLEVIATE any
particle of sympathy which sentimental
lists might have had for him. Right on
the heels of this case comes the deliberate
killing of man in the public streets by
ruffianly truck-driver, who was angry with
the murdered man for not getting out of the
way when hailed by the driver. AS in
the Magruder murder, the provoca-
ton was chlidishly slight. These
and similar occurrences make it
plain that very little value Is set on human
life by vast element in the population of
this city. No casual quarrel, resulting in muir
der, which gave California bad name during
its earlier years, could be more tri1ing and
purposeless than those which so often ter
inmate in homicide here. Murder is COM
mon; human life is cheap; any excuse is
held sufficient to justify violent killing.

The vote in the French Assembly yesterday
approving the circular of NJ. Jules Simon for
school reform encourages the hope that, when
the question of compulsory primary education
ia proposed, there will be reasonably good
prospect of its adoption. The extreme Right,
seeing itself unable to vote down the resOlu-
tion for approval left the Chamber in order
TO prevent quorum. The large majority by
which the resolution was adopted shows that
at least modified scheme of reform will find
favor with the Assembly.

CESARISM.

Justice MilIer's Views on Impcrialfsm.
WASHINGTON, Nov. II. 1879
In lecture before the law students Of George
town College tonight Justice Miller, OF the United
States Supreme Court himself hopeful candi-
date for the Chief Justceship, referred the late
press discussion OF Cgsarsm in incidental connec-
tion with his illustration OF both the indepen-
dence and the dependence Of the three great
branches OF the government In their relations
to each other The learned jurist agreed 40 far
with the position taken by the HERALD aa to ad-
init inferentlaiy the possibility OF the establish
ment OF imperialism in our government, but only
in case where an ambitious president could enlist
the aid Of the Lower House OF Congress in his de-
signs. The lutilty OF an attempt BY president to
exercise powers very far short OF Imperialism,
ag ainst the will OF Congress- the lecturer
th ought. was amply proved IN the case OF
eX-Presldent Johnson, where, for the nrSt time LII
our history, the actual relative strength OF the ex-
ecutive and legislative branches OF the government.
IN struggle to use against each other the author
ity that each claimed to possess under the c0nsti-
tuition, was fairly and fully tested.
The lecture being restricted to an explanation or
the theoretical workings OF the government, mo-
occasion existed for reviewing the possibility OK
the executive patronage IN appoin tments to ollic6
being so used as TO return q Lower House OF Con
gress which, though nominaly independent OF the
President would be practically under his influence
