AN officer who assaulted the Duke
of Cambridge in Pail Mall on the 9th
of January has been tried for his offence
before the Central Criminal Court and
sentenced to one months imprisonment
without labor. He is Capt. Charles
Maunsell. He is simply n victim of
the abominable purchase system IN the
English army, which is now abolished.
After long years of meritorions service
in India and elsewhere-after seeing
his juniors buying their promotions
over his head-after having his health
destroyed and his constitution ruined
by hardships in the field and garrison,
he had asked the Commander-in-Chief
to recognize his claims and to allow
him to obtain the promotion to which
he was entitled. The Commander-in-
Chief. the Duke OF Cambridge, refused;
and the poor fellow, brooding over his
wrongs, committed the assault, not to
inaict injury upon the Duke but to
attract public attention TO his case.

THE farmers movement is taking
political shape in Illinois. At a Con-
vention of the Farmers Association of
the nineteenth congressional district of
that State, held at Fairfield on the 9th
ult., call was issued for a delegate
convention to be held at Carmi on Aug.
u, to nominate a candidate for Con-
Cress on behalf of the Farmers Clubs.
The Chicago Tribune states that this Is
the third congressional district IN the
State In which the farmers have taken
this action, and it viii be followed in
most of the others. This farmers
movement is distinct from the Patrons

THE Washington Chronicle, one of

to take before they were permitted TO

no means for the people to carry out
their wishes except through the work
of systematic organization.
IT is merely as a sample of many
such letters received daily that we pub
lish this morning the discursiye letter
of ''Lynchburg" from Moore county.
He expresses quite freely his opinion OF
sundry other newspapers as well as
ours, but we hope the COurier-JoErRat
ct ais. can stand it. That Tennesseeans
should look rather to a State paper for
State affairs is obvious enough. AS to
foreign affairs, while publishing the
cable dispatches in full, our effort for
years has been to supplement them
with such expositions of the views OF
both sides in the various contentious
raging throughout Europe, as would
enable our readers to appreciate the
situation. The condition of the whole
continent is abnormal Old things
have passed away and the new things
are not fully established. The
French pilgrimages show a reaction
against the extreme of Communism.
Prussia thinks centralism is the surest
safeguard against that social monster.
Yet the church troubles in Germany
may hasten a reaction against Bis
marck's centralism, or even produce a
politioo-religious resort to arms, like
the famous Thirty Years War. Spain
has had half a dozen governments, So
called, since the hegira of Amadeo, and
on our American system of a plurality
vote. it looks as though Don Carlos
could be elected King. Italy, after ex-
propriating much church property,
Mexican fashion, and imposing taxes
that almost amount to rentals, still
finds its Treasury empty and its credit
deprecated. The day of England's
influence on the continent seems pass
ed. and her statesmen have concluded
that their first duty is to hold their
own. Russia alone seems In situation
to reap any benefit from the turmoil of
its neighbors, and the indications are
that it will utilize all opportunities for
its own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Already 1t
has regained the privileges of the Black
Sea, and has pushed into Asia in I'M
pleasant proximity to the British pos
sessions. England views these ad-
vances with alarm, but cannot help
herself. With France erect, things
would have been different, because her
interests in the Eastern question are
identical with England's. Russia
would never have reclaimed the Black
Sea, if France had not been blOtted out
as one of the great powers. All are
selfish; international rights have be-
come a byword; small States are being
absorbed by the larger ones; central
ism is the dominant policy; standing
armies are kept on permanent war
footing, and the near future is big with
startling events.
