II there had been less prom inent
men engaged in the trial Of a cause
similar to that of Tilton and Beccher.
no such parade would have been made.
For nearly Eve months the Jury in
Ahis case have been compelled to aban-
don their business, in order to sit and
hear tho long and wearisome state
ments Of witnesses and the argument
Of council for the Plaintiff and the De-
PENDANT. The end is not yei reached.
There is scarcely parallel to this trial,
in ou- country, and, gave the great
case Of the ''Tichborne Claimant" in
England, there is not parallel in any
country. Let us hope that the end is
not far oil. The whole country Is tired
Of II, and sincerely desire its speedy
close.

Having tested his capacity to buffet with
the breakers on the Irish coast, he under
took to cross the Channel at the Straits Of
Dover. 1t is twenty-seven miles in width.
and yet this American performed the feat
of crossing it, or the greater part Of
the distance, with no other aid
than his outfit as We have described it.
We do not know that the discovery and
demonstration will add much to the facili-
ties of marine travel, but in case OF wreck,
fire or other accident to passenger vessels,
the capacity of individuals to support
themselves in the water for few days, or
even for few hours, must be of immense
value to those who take the risk OF ocean
travel Whether it be OF value OF a mere
vagary, however, it is an american dis
coyery, and adds to the extended lis: of
inventions which have been made by
Americans and bestowed upon humanity.
These discoveries are, according to our
opinion, due to the free thought and action
secured to our people. While it is true
the same discoveries might have been
made under other forms of social develop
ment, it remains that in no other country
have so many valuable inventions been
given to the world as by Americans.

Bat the Herald thinks his holiness will

Master began with the humble OF the
earth. The success Of the Catholic
Church in America is interpreted to have
arisen from the voluntary contribu tons of
the laboring laymen, and the inference is
warranted that if the s1prem head of the
Church will cast himself upon his humble
and sincere followers among the people
that his station will be much tirmer
than when propped by the bayonets
OF the kings. We are not disposed
to controyert the propos itior. It has
been found that the people are
more true TO principles OF morality and
religion than are the monarchs or nobility
OF the world as classes. 1t would be a
strange sight, but by no II cans one i'm
possible OF manifestation, to see the
Church in power, or even in person, cross
the seas to seek in the devotion of the
faithful that support which the selfish and
naughty kings of the earth are disposed to
Withdraw, Il will prove an ungrate.ul re-
turn for the services shown by the papacy
to the thrones OF Europe; but it will
show that 10 human authority, however
1t may be assumed that it is derived from
divine authority, can escape the inevitable
laws Of human interest. Just as the traitor
Judas and the timid Peter abandoned the
true Saviour, so will the courtiers and
diplomats abandon him who claims to
be the successor OF the Saviour in teach
ing and in spiritual authority.

THE ACTS OF THE REGULAR SESSION

THE ACTS OF THE REGULAR SESSION
| The Bulletin treats the public to bit OF
legal advice which may be sound law,
though for the present We must take the
liberty to dissent The occasion which
has been improved to launch this opinion
upon the reading world is the fact that the
State Board Of Assessors regard act No. II
Of the late session as a good and valid law.
| This is the act which devolves upon the
State Board of assessors the duties here
tofore appertaining to the city Department
Of Assessments We have previously
| called attention to the fact that the city
officials are proceeding in the work OF
making assessments in disregard Of act
No. II, thus subjecting the people to the
annoyance Of making two returns when
the law specially provides that there shall
be but one. 1t is, of course, a judicial
question to the extent that the courts
alone can arrest the execution Of the pro-
visions of the new law.
The Bulletin, however, ventures the
opinion that act No. ~ ''is not worth the
paper it is written upon" That before
this or any other act passed at the late
session can become law it must be
passed upon by the ''adjusted" Legisla-
ture now in session. It is, moreover, in
timated that the particular act in question
will fail to receive the requisite sanction.
We modestly put in a plea for this and
all other acts Of the late session which
have or may yet receive The approval of
the Governor. The point raised by the
Bulletin that they We're adopted by Leg
islature in which there never was quo
rum is certainly not sustained by the
concerned. II is notorious that in that
body there was constant attendance
equal to two-thi-ds Of the whole number
elected. The status Of the Senate and the
executive is consequently undoubted 1t is
competent for them to decide which body
is the House. Their recognition of the
House was therefore positive decision
affirmative Of its fitness for legislative
business.
The adjusted Legislature doubtless has
the power to repeal all the acts passed by
the unadjusted body. But its assent to
the laws passed by it is not necessary.
nor viii such doctrine obtain during the
present session. It may have been part
Of the Democratic programme which is
thus Swallowed forth by the Bullet.n. But
the signal defeat of that faction of the
late coalition renders their plans insigni-
icant and nnimportant. Perhaps the
writer hoped at the time he wrote that his
favorite candidate would succeed, and
wished to indicate ex cathedra the policy
IF what he believed would be the doni- |
nant party IN the House. Tho proverbial |!
'lip between the cup and lip interviewed, |
and by the time the Bulletins unsolicited |
opinion saw the light there was such a
change in the prospects ali along the line
hat no one conceives it possible to sue
'essfully question the validity Of the leg
Station OF the late session.
We conclude, therefore, that 1fessrs.
ferwig, Urban, 3 landin, etc, will not be
n any such hurry TO ''step down and
ut as the Bulletin hoped they would be.
