In fitting up a ship for voyage it 10
important to balance it well for fair sail
ing, and in case it should encounter
stormy blasts. 1t is dangerous to have
it careen or to get it scuttled. The polit-
ical ship sometimes requires little ju-
dicious attention. A word to the wise
may prove beneficial.

MAoMAHoN's idea of "order" is illus
trated in the sentence of the manager Of
the MarSeillaise newspaper, to fine and
three months imprisonment for insult
ing" the Marshal President. We may
look for a vigorous application of this
pleasant policy between this and the
election, but the Marshal will be more
successful than his predecessors, If he
finds it efficacious in sitting opposition.
Considering the angry attitude of Mac
Mahon's opponents just now, the Pope
seems to have chosen rather unfortu-
nate time to decorate the Marshal, al
though Madame MaCMahon doubtless
believes the compliment well deserved.

Mr.. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN -
Everybody knows that after the recent

people President and Vice President oi

men who were not elected were counted

personal wrong in noting this tranastion
Not by any act or word of mine shall thai

wrong that has stained our national an

exists always. Devices to give color ot
law and false pretenses on which to found
fraudulent decisions will not be wanting
The wrong will grow into practice ifonce

been the result of fraud or force. 1t has

DECISION AGAINST THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD

SAN FRANCIsCo, March 21.-The Supreme
Count has rendered decision in the OF Low against
the Central Pacific Railroad Company Some years ago
thg California Pacific Railroad Company leased its road
TO the Central Pacific Railroad Company. According to
the terms Of the lease the Central Pacific Company
should pay both principal aud interest of the outstanding
bonds OF the California Pacific Company. Suit sub
seqTeny brought through exGOy Low agent for the
foreign bCndhodcrs for prncp and interest Of the out
standing bonds payment not having been made. The
Central Railroad Company cOntended that 10 had no
power 10 make such contract and therefore the agree
nent 10 redeem the outstanding bonds with interest,
void. The contrary opinion is affirmed by major
itv OF the Supreme Court. Justice MCKnsey dssents
holding that tho lessor had power 70 make such
contract. No opinion is pressed by Justice Crockett
