DErTu OF AMERICAN LAKES There 10
a mystery about the depth Of American
lakes. Lake Erie is only 60 to 70 feet
deep; but Lake Ontario, which has .
depth of 592 feet, is 230 feet below the
tide level Of the ocean, or IS low ~ most
parts Of the Gulf OF st. Lawrence. and
the bottoms of Lakes Huron, Michigan
and Superior, although the surface 10
much higher, are all, from their vast
depths, on level With Ontario. Now,
as the discharge through the river De-
troit, after allowing for the probable por-
ton carried away by evaporation, does
not appear by any means equal to the
quantity of water which the three upper
lakes receive. it has been conjectured that
a subterraacan river may run from Lake
Superior by the Huron to Lake Ontario.
This conjecture is not impossible, and
accounts for the singular fact that salmon
and herrings are caught in oil the lakes
communicating with the st. Lawrence,
but not in others. As the falls Of Mag
ara must have always existed, 1t would
puzzle the naturalist to say how these
fishes got into the upper lakes, without
same subterranean river, moreover. any
periodical obstruction Of the river would
furnish q not improbable solution OF the
mysterious hux and rcfux Of the lakes.

Resistance to Federal Authority.

Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, made a his
torical statement in the House q day or two
since, in which he unconsciously pain ted him
no better than the Louisiana "bandtti" He
was speaking on Mr.. Whitelaw Reid's case,
and arguing for the exemption of witness
from arrest before retiring to his home. Mr..
Kelley illustrated his position by recounting
the incidents of fugitive slave case in his
own court when he was judge, without
seeming to perceive their bearing on the ques-
ton which has for the last two weeks occu-
pied so much of public attention. Judge
Kelley's recital was pertinent enough to Mr..
Reids arrest, but it was at the same time an
unintended justification of violent resistance
to federal authority when its exercise is
thought to be illegal. Judge Kelley relates
that fugitive slave, Jane Johnson by name,
was summoned to his court as witness in
prosecution of her rescuers FOR theft in steal
ing the clothes she wore when they aided her
escape The United States District At
torney and United States Mar
shall were in court prepared to
arrest the fugitive Jane johnson, when she
should be dismissed from the witness stand.
Judge Kelley determined that she should not
be arrested, and he took pains to find fifty
men prepared to sacrifice their lives in resist
ing the federal officers. Representing the
State of Pennsylvania as one of her judges, ;"
said he, a. on the evening preceding the
trial, Intercepted the officers of the Court as
to who among them shrank from laying
down his life or taking the life of another in
vindication of the law of Pennsylvania. v
He excused some who were unwilling to go to
this extremity and substituted others in their
places. When the trial came on, Judge Kelley
says, 'in the body of the court room sat

Polftics In France.

In the debate on the constitutional bills
all the party passion comes out, all the more
fierce and furious, apparently, for the recent
truce and rest. Republicans, legitimists and
the rest clamor with characteristic extrava-
gance, each for the excellence Of his own
infallible remedy for the national disorders;
and each without any perception that it is the
true interest Of all to give way to the stronger
party. In the recent election in the Hautes
Pyrenees there was seen the most significant
fact lately made apparent in French politics.
There were four candidates in the feld-M
Cazeaux, Bonapartist; M. Brauhauban,
a republican; NJ du Puysegur, legitimist,
and M. Aicot, Septennalst. All the par
ties we're therefore before the people. There
was no compromise, no juggling combina-
ton Of two or three parties to defeat another,
but each asserted its own case at the polls. As
a result of this straight trial of strength the
Bonapartist was chosen by large majority /;
but this instructive fact as 10 the state of the
national mind seems to be regarded by no
one in the Assembly; yet an honest recogni-
ton of it would be the key to the solution Of
all tho difficulties, for the strongest will rule
sooner or later in France, as elsewhere, and all
the conflict that deters for time the triumph
of the strongest is q mere waste Of the national
vitality.

Tho Eeecher Trial.

There will be no interruption to the Beecher
trial, the Governor having signed the bill en-
towering the City Court of Brooklyn to con-
tinue its term. This is welcome news for
we do not want this exciting society drama to
become like one of Reades magazine Stories
in which the hero was blown out Of a window
at the end of o chapter, and, catching his coat
on an iron hook, remained suspended in the
air for month. That end is not very near,
if we may measure the body Of the animal by
its head. The argument of Mr.. Morris and
the examination of Mr.. Moulton have already
consumed fifteen days, and behind this wit
ness comes long line of other witnesses
Of apparently equal importance. Mr.. Tilton
may go on the stand, Mr.. Beecher certainly
will, and besides these are Carpenter, Wilke-
son, johnson, Woodruff, Mrs. Morse, Bessie
Turner and probably scores of others. 1t is q
complicated case, and has been so long before
the public that persons who know something
about it are almost as numerous in Brooklyn
as church members. But no expenditure of
time, patience or money will be too great if
the truth can be discovered and the scandal
put forever at rest. The points elected yes
terday were important, and the discussions
between the counsel promise to become as
lively as the contests in the theatres Tho
Woodruff element OF the affair was brought
prominently before the Court, especially in
regard to the biography Of that lady, which

Castelar,.

Seiior CASTELAR,, leader Of the repubn-
can party in Spain, announces his pur-
pose to leave that country and reside in
Geneva. He further adds that if his seat in
the Cortes is only to be obtained by taking
the oath of allegiance to King Alfonso he will
not accept the honor. We question whether
j. - wise for q man like CASTELAR, to retire
from active participation in government on
the change of dynasty. When Amadeus
was King of Spain this gentleman and his
friends took part in the Cortes The oath of
allegiance to sovereign simply means that in
all things pertaining to peace and loyalty the
subject will obey the King But no oath of
allegiance is binding on the political con-
science Of a citizen. CASTELAR, and his
friends could do more service to re-
publicanism by remaining in Spain,
taking part in the deliberations of the
Cortes, than by seeking barren exile. Re
publican sentiment is alive in Spain. The
impulse of education has gone SO far that
there is not power enough in King Alfonso
and all his battalions to drive it back. The
Republic has been postponed, partly through
the folly of its own friends-Castelar
among the number-mainly through the
resolution of the priests, noblemen and
soldiers that there shall be no peace in that
country that does not recognize their su-
premacy and give them power, rank and
money. The duty of CASTELAR,, Salmeron,
Figueras and the other brilliant and illus
trious men whose genius recalls that of the
leaders of the early French Revolution, is to
remain in Spain and serve the cause of liberty
by educating the people to the appreciation
of the benefits, limitations and responsibilities
of true Republic.

cal Quixotism, and abstain from making
recommendations which will never be
adopted. But if the republican party
were powerful enough to enforce its views
the wisest thing it could do would be to
compel the resignation of President Grant
and let Vice President Wilson succeed to his
functions and powers. With Mr.. Wilson as
President the republicans would have o fair
chance of success in 1875. If he were Presi-
dent the Southern troubles would be RENTED
to local opinion for settlement. and the coun-
try would expect fair Presidential election
in 1876. But under General Grant nobody
can anticipate whether the people arc to elect
the next President OF whether military coer-
cion is to determine the choice. President
Grant has no respect for the popular will, and
his readiness to override it by military force
in Louisiana proves that he has no scruples
which stand in the way of his multiplying any
elections which contravene his wishes. If the
party which supports him comedies his right
to thwart an election in Louisiana where will
they stop3 If be can reverse the popular
choice in Louisiana he can reverse it in

military supremacy over the elections That
large portion of the republican party repre-
sented by Vice President Wilson would
repudiate such result as heartily as the
democratic party itself. Aside from General
Grants ofdce-holding supporters the public
opinion of the country is unanimous against
his third term pretensions. 1t is public
misfortune that Vice President Wilson is not
at the head of the government; for he would
insure an honest expression Of the popular
will in the Presidential election, whereas
General Grant, with his tendencies to i'm
perialism, would have as little scruple in
overturniug the result Of Presidential cleo
ton as he has shown in annulling tho choice
of the people in Louisiana.
