The Ice Business on the River.
The continuance of the cold weather has
depressing effect upon the ice business on the
Kennebec. AS the mercury falls to zero and
below, the courage of the new companies in
embryo falls in the same proportion. These
men know that cold weather north means
cold weather south, and if the Hudson ice
fields are susceptible of cultivation to any
the Kennebec, this year, will be small The
new companies formed in Augusta, Gardiner
and Richmond, will therefore ''hold their
horses" and await the development of events.
From fifty to seventy five thousand tons of
ice are already stored on the river, the most
of it being from crops gathered two or three
seasons past, and kept over. 1t is said that
ice kept over, properly packed, is just as val
liable as when taken from the river. The
knickerbocker is the largest company opera
ting on thu river, having storing room for
about 100, COO tons of ice. Before the recent
thaw they had put up about SO, 900 tons. The
thaw had sadly demoralzing ensct on Il
portion Of their field, but they are now paying
particular attention to the portion that had
not slid out from under their cultivation.
johnson & Haley are scraping the recently
fallen saow from their field. The Gardiner
Ice Company's houses are said to be full CT
old ice. Arthur Berry & Company have %,
900 tons in store, crop of '72 Sturgis & Co.
have about the same amount, and n. o.
Mitchell, Maxcy < Richards, $4,000 tons -
all stored in 70.
With ten inches Of snow to scrape from the
remaining ice, and wth the material for ator
ing at the present time in liquid state, it is yet
too early to make any safe predictions. But
certainly the large ice dealers on this river
ought not to forget how wonderfully favored
they were in l870-the year that is designated
as "the good year" in the ice business. Then
it was as late as the 2lst of January be-
fore the first parties went on to the river to
take out ice. In month from that time
came the great freshet, clearing the river of
ice; but after that the ice formed, from II to
IL inches in thickness, clear and nice-the
companies got in their full supply, made
their "pile," and set all the people crazy the
next year about building ice houses.

Never was the halter drawn most deservedly
around rogue than when the champion of the
New York ring of thieves was led to Blackwells
Island, clothed in elon's suit and assigned duty
a steward in the hospital of that penitentIary.
For once justice has been rightly meted out to a
great scoundrel, who, however, had so much conf
dence IN his power that up to the time of his
sentence did not doubt but he would escape on
some technically. We are told that he now
proposes to write book giving history of the
dark transactions which took place while he was
IN power, and telling who shared his plumber, and
turned against him in his hour of adversely. No
doubt he can make disclosures which will make
the ears Of some of the rich men of New York
Jingle, and show that there were Others who de-
served his fate. But we doubt whether any such
book will be published, even if he should write IT,
II it were published it would prove startling
book, and tnd an extraordinary sale.

MIR. EDITOR The article in your paper of the

feel constrained to call attention to its closing
paragraph, and to earnestly urge any one who
thinks he can do it, to draft "a brief law of three
or four sections to meet the case.
This is just what the great, as well as small,
cities of the whole world want, and what many of
them have been trying to find. time out of mind.
And if it can be achieved here, it will be boon
to civilization, that will entltle the lucky indyid-

could be cut up by the roots, but the difficulty at
once stares one IN the face of secluding all per-
sons affected with syphilis. (males and females),

How are they to be reached? A system of
espionage and surveillance that would be effec-
tive, would be iutolerable, and would not be sub
mitted to nor ought it. because little malicious
information would subject innocent per sons, of
both sexes, to intolerable insults
But still, it is very desirable that the law
should be drafted, and as it seems so easy to be
done, anxiously hope some one will try it.

Sunk i'm Eight Farhoms.

The sinking of the steamer Virginius, on the
10Th of December, near Cape Fear, off the port
OF Wilmington, n. c., puts an end to the COM
plcations attending the capture, demand and res
toration of this now celebrated vessel Whether
the sinking was accidental or designed, il is none
the less fortunate for the United States and
Spain. 1t reminds US of the sinking of the Flor
ida during the late civil war, which took place in
Chesapeake Bay, while nearing her destination.
The Virginius had been sent by the Spanish au-
thorities from Havana to the port of Bahia Hon.
da, sixty miles west of Havana. On the 10th of
December she was delivered up to Capt. Whit
ney and taken to Key West, where after coalinp
she left for New York, accompanied by the Ossi-
pee. They proceeded on together till near VIII
mington, when the water in her hold increased so
much that 1t was deemed best TO head her for
that port but she sunk in eight fathoms just out
side the entrance. No investigation will proba-
bly, ever be bad as to the causes of her sinking

Marshal ISazaine.

The world has lately witnessed singular spec.
tacle, the scene of which was France 1t was
the arraignment and trial of gallant soldier,
who had served his country for forty years. and
wore the emblems of score of victories 1t will
be remembered that at the date of the surrender
of the Emperor Napoleon at Sedan on the I'd Of
September, Marshal Bazane was in command of
the French forces at Metz. He had there TO-.
600 troops with ample war material and supplies,
but was confronted by Prince Charles, with an
army of equal strength. which hedged him in.
and rendered him and his forces useless as sup
port to the Emperor and afterwards to Paris.
For his inability to extricate himself from the
critical position, and finally for surrendering to
the Germans, he was tried, found guilty and SEN
fenced TO military degradation and death. His
brother soldier, in this trying campaign, McMa-
hon, now at the head of the French Republic,
committed this severe sentence to twenty years
seclusion and relieved him of public degra-
dation before the army which he had led and
fought with. On the Doth of December he left
Paris for the Island of Margarite, off Cannes,
where he will be confined till some change IN the
politics OF france may bring him his pardon
We cannot avoid the conclusion, after perusing
all the facts connected with his trial, that he has

been made the scape-goat to bear the whole
odium of the defeat in the late war, French
honor and bravery are now fully satisfied, for il
Bazaine had done his duty, the army would have
been victorious, and France never have been
compelled to surrender and pay tribute ! We
cannot better close this tragic affair than to quote
the closing scene of the trial as given in the
New York Times:
"Bazaines sentence was military degradation
and death-degradntion in the Legion d Honour
and the cost of the whole process and trial.
This latter would take 1000 francs, every sou
that Bazaine has in the world, and would leave
his wife and three children destitute. When the
sentence was passed Bazaine was not present.
His counsel Lacheaud, delivered him the news
privately, and the Prosecutor, with file of SOL
sired to be shot Immediately, il they wanted his
life. He was very calm, while all the others
were agtated. He asked that his son might be
permitted to be with him for the whole day after
the sentence, which request was granted, as they
feared he might commit suicide. Bazaines wife
acted heroically. When informed that her hus-
band might escape death by military degradation,
she exclaimed, He never would consent to that
if you even proposed it. l shall soon be
widow In this Interpretation she made prepar-
atoms for entering convent. When the SEN
tence was announced TO President MacMahon
who was at the head of large dinner party, be
exclaimed Condemned to death ? He turned
very pale and sank into his chair, letting his head
fall into his hands. On being informed that the
Court had signed the sentence, he reproached
them with having thrown all the responsibility on
him. He declared that fear of unpopularity
would not deter him from using his right of
mercy He treated the Due DAumale cooly.
The Bishop Of Orleans and Theirs had an inter-
view with the President, in which the latter
urged him to mercy. These other influences,
beside his own inclinations. brought about the
Communication of Bazaines sentence to simple
exile"

The Atchcnese War.


The Dutch have began their war with the At.
chenese in earnest, and though we hear but little
from the scene Of contest, it is evident that they
have the advantage from the start. A telegram
from Penang, dated December 80, says that the
Dutch troops encountered and defeated the At.
chenese near Kenton. and now have possession
of all the left side Of the river. The battle was
considered decisive, and the enemy was routed
in all directions. Their loss was heavy in killed
and wounded. The health of the Dutch troops
was reported as good. The Dutch Colonial Min.
lister announces that this war will render it neces-
sary for the government to extend its sovereignty
over Atcheen, as the only way to secure perma-
nent peace. Hitherto the native government has
been allowed to do pretty much as it liked in all
matters of internal government, simply acknowl-
edging the Dutch as allies, and paying them a
nominal tribute. The contest will result, as
all wars between half civilized and European gov
ernments do, in the subjugation of the weaker
party TO Its more powerful rival, So far as this
may tend to stop piracy IN the Sumatra seas and
coasts, it will be well for all parties.
