were uncommonly brilliant in Paris on the
birthdays of the late Emperor, but were
permitted only in the great public places
like the Place de la Concorde the Champs
Elysees the Champs de Mars and other
large open spaces, and were always under
public superintendent. We are quite will
ing that our city authorities should COM
promise with the dealers in fireworks and
with the popular taste by allowing grand
pyrotechnic displays in all the public
squares of the city on the evening OF
the Fourth. We have open spaces enough
for accommodating every section OF the
city-the Battery, City Hall Park, Tomp-
kins square, Union square, Madison square,
Gramercy Park and minor places. With
the fireworks in trained hands, with suffi-
cient police force on the ground and with
only some half dozen places requiring
special vigilance by the Fire Department,
there might be splendid and gratifying
display, unattended with danger. But the
unregulated burning of fireworks by care
less people in every part OF the city is such
an unmitigated nuisance and puts property
in such needless peril that the authorities
will be inexcusable if they tolerate it.

Are Love Letters I'm Peril3

A case of considerable interest, arising
under the law to prohibit the transmission
of lottery circulars through the mails, was
decided by Judge Blatchford, in the United
States District Court on Saturday. lottery
agent having been arrested for violation Of
that statute, and held by the United States
Commissioner before whom he was taken,
his counsel, Judge Dittenhoefer. carried
the case to Judge Blatchfords court on .
writ of habeas corpus. In his argument for
the release of the prisoner, Judge Often
hoefer assumed that Congress had no power
to exclude from the mails any sealed letter,
whatever might be its written or printed
contents. The counsel insisted that if Con-
gress could exclude communications con-
corning lotteries, because it deemed lot
teries immoral, it could at its caprice, OK
clude any other communications to which
it might choose to attach an immoral ten
dency. He evidently trembled even for the
inviolability Of love letters, except of the
most staid and Quaker-like description, and
especially of those of an illicit character.
Nay, he feared that letters written in red
ink might fall under the ban of so scrupu-
lous censor as Congress, and be excluded
from the mails. Judge Dittenhoefer's in
genious argument did not, however, pre-
vail. Judge Blatchford sustained the Com
missioner and remanded the prisoner to
the marshal's custody.
Judge Blatchford's opinion is elaborate
and exhaustive. The Court holds that the
power to establish post Offices and post
roads gives Congress the right to prescribe
what it will carry and what it will not carry
along those post roads, and to render its
enactments efficient by furnishing as an
offence any violation Of them. AS to what
shall be excluded is matter to be decided
in the sound discretion Of Congress, and it
Isl not for the Court to substitute it's dis
cretion for the discretion of Congress. As
Congress has declared it to be for the pub
lie good that lotteries, whether locally Legal
or illegal, shall not be allowed to use the
mail in the transmission Of letters and cir
culars, and as Congress has the power to
exclude matter from the mail, it is not for q
court to set itself up as the judge Of the ex-
pedicncy of or of the degree of necessity
for this particular exclusion or any other.
The case will, however, be carried to the
United States Supreme Court for review and
final decision.

The War News.

In the statement in our dispatches with
regard to Servia we have one of the odd
facts of the oddly complicated Oriental
trouble. Here is Power promised q re-
ward-a part of the spoils Of war -on con-
dition that she will withhold her hands and
abstain from taking any part in the con-
flict. Commonly enough States are induced
to lend hand by proffer of terri
tory contingent on victory; but there are
not many precedents for promised aggran-
dizement made to depend upon not firing q
shot or otherwise i'll any way aiding in
the war; but, no doubt, Russias offer
is wise, for she would profit little by any as
sistance Servia might render if she became
a party to the war, while her case would be
greatly imperilled if Servia's assumption Of
an active part should alarm Austria. The
details of the fighting in the Duga Pass
illustrate with what stubborn courage
the hardy Montenegrins contest foot
by foot the possession of their mountains. If
the Servians fought in that way Servia and
Montenegro might alone exhaust the re-
sources of the Ottoman Empire. Appar-
emily the feint of the Russian crossing
opposite Rustchuk is intended to try the
efficiency of the Ottoman preparations for
strengthening their force by accessions from
other points. BY the discovery of any weak
point that may appear in those arrange
ments the Russians may profit in day or
two.

looking customer. On Saturday he was
taken, in company with another of the
party, from the Tombs to the Supreme
Court to be present at the last act Of q con-
tinued habeas corpus proceeding. The per-
formance was not one agreeable to the pris-
oner, since the Grand Jury having found a
true bill against him on the previous day,
the said proceeding was to be closed by the
dismissal Of the writ. Elliott was hand
cuffed to his larger companion, but in
the court room he complained to the
kind hearted keeper of the Tombs,
by whom he was accompanied, of the
inconvenience Of the involuntary Siamese
connection, and the amiable keeper there
upon set the poor little fellow free from his
companion. But when a sympathetic officer
allows a prisoner the untrammelled use Of
his arms and legs in a crowded court room
it is at least wise to hold him in the bond

prisoner is young, eel-like and active and
Gin" for sixty-four thousand dollars. The
Christian Tombsman, yclept Van Tyne, for
got this precaution, and while he was
wrapped in earnest conversation with As
sistant District Attorney Leary, Mr.. Frad-
erick Elliott, himself, in police parlance,
'leery cove, made his salaam to the Judge
and took his departure from the court.
OF course Keeper Van Tyne, this time
very poor keeper, could not go on talking
with an Assistant District Attorney forever,
and when he had finished his conversation
he looked around and discovered that he
lacked prisoner. Mr.. Frederick Elliott,
more powerful than the mighty writ of
habeas corpus, had set himself free. The
amiable Van Tyne was deserted. AS soon as
the escape was known the usually orderly
court was in an uproar

the country and hateful to the citizens
would Mt once disappear. The hordes
of ofice-seekers would no longer con-
troll conventions; the caucus would become
decent and useful institution; candidates
would be nominated by the two parties
because of their ability and merit; the
people would take the place of the office
holders and ofice-seekers in conventions,
and platforms would once more mean some
thing. There would be fewer banners, less
excitement, no general stoppage of business
during Presidential campaign, and we
should once more hear of policies framed by
statesmen and presented to the people by
arguments and not in Infatuated screams.
The change would be very great; it might
even happen that in a time Of political calm,
and where both candidates were honest and
respectable men. people would care very
little which was elected. Certainly they
would not tear each others throats about 1t,
and the common sense and best instincts OF
ths people would have an opportunity to
tell on the result We do not expect even
President Hayes to bring about such mil
lennium; but the bitter opposition he is
meeting with from people in his own party
shows the necessity of change in the
direction we have pointed out. The fight
against the President is simply fight of
the disappointed office-seekers. He can
have peace and their praise and support at
any moment if he will give himself into
their hands as General Grant, after brief
struggle, did. We trust he will stand out
manfully, for he has the people on his side
in any effort he may make to purify the
civil service, and especially to remove it
from partisan control.
