 The great subject of interest and talk for the past week has been the trial of AL len. the Fairfield murderer The facts of the case. briefly stated. are these: George 2Allen and John Conklin. neighbors. got quarreling. Conklin is said to be peace able sort oi man but Alien is quurreisome when asa ald drunk. On the 4th of August last, Allen took his gnn and went to Southport
 ofbuy some iammunition ana told several persons whom he met that he was going to kill Conklin They supposed it only threat. On his return from South port, he stopped in front of, the residence of his victim. and, laying down his gun began to throw stones at Conklin, who. was sit- ting on block reading paper. The latter rose to his feet and walked towards Allen who. exclaimed, ''If you take anoth- CT step. I will shoot you." and fired both barrels as soon as tue words were out of his mouth. The gun was loaded with huckshot which took effect in Conklin's face and lungs. and he died the next morning. Allen was tried for murder and the court held that, as he was under the influence of liquor at the time of commit ting the crime. he could only. be found, guilty of murder in the second degree. On Friday morning he was sentenced to Imprisonment for life. K .o

The town was incorporated in I175s; and it must be that there were not as many aspirants for office in Nor folk. from 175S to TIT, as there are in 1877, for there are from 20 to 30 resi- dents, of Norfolk at this time who are eager to serve the town, in the next ses- sion of the Legislature. 1 1,'' 7 -,s As.'.'.

French Politics.

The English papers seem to expect that the death of Thiers may prove disastrona to tn Republicans in the coming French elections. The old Republican members have been everywhere renominated, without objection. The ministerial fac. tions are much divided among themselves, and their defeat was inevitable but for the demoralization that may follow the death of liners. It is difficult for an American to understand how much stronger are per. sons than principles in foreign politics. Nevertheless we cannot believe that Thiers was the sole stay of French Repub- licanism. l a7alG. .sai1a, siis .essi s | Gambetta, the strongest man of the party, though many republicans who de- test communism suspect him of leaning to that political heresy. has the sense not to press his own claims at present, but proposes M. Grevy. president of the Cham Der of Deputies recently dissolved, as the Republican candidate for the Presidency. should McMahon be obliged to resign. Ought not that to be satisfactory? Gan the death of one man. and he holding no official position, sodemoralize French Re. publicanism as to change the whole face of the returns at the coming election 2 If such is really the case. it would go far to prove the French still unfit for self government. We shall only believe it when we see it.
 5 There can be no doubt. however, that the death of Thiers is very severe blow. The destructives who control McMahon will be much more likely to venture on extreme measures than while the shrewd old ex-President stood ready to resume the position from which moderate conser- yatiyes haze never ceased to regret hls re- tiremsnt.

OUR JAILs.-We give today an account of the manner of pnnishing unruly crimi-
 nals at the Ltchfield jail, as recently brought to publication by the Sun, and personal inquiry confirms the statement that prisoners are tied upbys their thumbs there in extreme cases II seems Q cruel mode of treatment, though 1t certainly ac- complishes the object of all punishment, -the infiiction of such pain that the pris- oner is forced to yield to tine officers and is cowed into submission. If jail bird Is can't behave, they deserve to be brought to submission in some way, and it is bet ter to be a little severe than to be too lax and allow the prisoners to get loose to kill their keepers. The age is altogether too merciful. or merciful at the expense of justice. However, we can well imagine that so severe treatment as stringing man up by his thumbs might be abused by cruel man, and we second the Esaqwirer's suggestion that the county commissioners exercise their unused pow CT to make regulations for the conduct of the jail (the mode and extent of punish ment and by whom to be inficted) and appoint an inspector to see that their rules are obeyed. Now the matter of pun ishment is left to the discretion of those in charge of the prisoners, none of whom have been appointed deputy jailers as the statute requires. But the countyis pri- marily to blame for this treatment of it's criminals, ,and will be as long as it compels 37 prisoners to be quartered in accommo- dations for IT. The county is too stingy to build decent jail and invites an out break by crowding two criminals into. the place where one ought to be-. A jail may punish but can never reform when so damned, and while it is so crowded the discipline must ot necessity be more se-
