The Jesuits in France.

Clause seven Of the Educational bill now
under discussion in the French Assembly
makes provision against the employment as
q teacher of any member of an "unauthor-
lied" religious association--an association,
that is to say, without legal status. As the
Jesuits' society is in this category, and as
it's members are very extensively engaged
in the labors Of education, it is assumed
that this clause is especially intended for
that body, aud perhaps it is I; though it is
pointed out that that society is but one of
q large number that will be excluded by
this law from employment in schools. But
if it seems good to the representatives of a
nation to exclude from an important pub
lie service the members of any given
society why should they not do it? And if
even it does not seem good to the Assem-
bly, to do so, would not that Minister be
wanting in his duty who, if he believed
that Jesuits ought to be excluded, should
fail to propose that course through appre-
hension of "moral war" against him on
account of it2 In that point, as in all
others justly within reach Of the law, the
will of France should prevail, and the way
to ascertain the will Of France is to put the
case fairly and squarely before the repre-
sentatives of the nation.

Fortunate Tully.

Sheriff Reilly's excuses for allowing the
convicted policeman, Tully, to roam the
streets of New York at his will in the CON-
pany of friendly deputy, after he had
been sentenced to three months imprison-
ment in the Penitentiary for a felonious as
sault, do not make the case any the less
scandalous or the Sherif's conduct any the
less reprehensible. After Tully's convic-
tion he was taken to the Tombs, and there
he would have remained until the applica-
ton for review of his case and his admis-
sion to bail had been decided if the Sheriff
had not made an order on the warden
of that prison requiring him to de-
liver up the prisoner, aud thus vir-
tually set him at liberty. When
Sheriff Reilly intimates that he had
no prison in which to lock Tully up he
makes o wilful Misrepresentation, because
the prisoner would have remained in the
Tombs but for the SherifTs action. The
law provides that sheriff in q county in
which more than one Jail shall be estab-
lished may confine his prisoners in either
of such jails, and, although the Tombs is
city and not a county prison. it is
questionable whether the Sheriff, since
the consolidation of the city and county,
has not the legal right under this
statute to use the Tombs ns O place
of confinement for his prisoners This
point is, however. immsterial, as Tully
would have been safely kept in the Tombs
if Sheriff Reilly had not favored him by
opening his prison door and giving him his
liberty with the companionship Of o friendly
deputy. The Sheriff is singularly mistaken
when he states that persons convicted and
sentenced to prison for felony have for
years been allowed to run about the streets
at their will accompanied by deputy
sheriff, and his impertinent comparison of
the case of Horace Greeley with that of the
police rufIian Tully is only an evidence of
his contempt for public opinion.
The secret of Sheriff Rellys action and
of the fortunate Mr.. Tully's release during
the holidays is explained, not by practice
or the lack of prison accommodation, but
by the fact that both Reilly and Tully are
ward politicians, and that the latter has
what is called "infuence" at his back If
some poor laboring man, out of employ
ment, had stolen q few loaves of bread to
save his family from starvation, and been
sentenced for three months to the Peniten-
tiary Sheriff Reilly would not have been at
loss to know whore to find cell for the
convict, and would not have generously
supplied him with a deputy, tree OF charge,
and the run OF all the liquor saloons in the
city.

The Aihambra I'm Danger.

recent issue of the Madrid Lealtad
makes the lamentable announcement that
great assures are disclosing themselves in
part of the Alhambra stands, and that there
is every reason to fear that the portion of
the palace known as the Vela Tower and the
Alcarzaba will at an early day be precipi-
tated into the Darro. It is probable
that no monument Of medimval times is
so thoroughly endeared to the American
heart as this curious fortified palace of the
Moorish kings Of Granada. It's name is SO
linked with that of Washington Irving
that the mention Of the Alhambra at once
suggests the author. The Spaniards have
shown their respect for the liHerdteur by
preserving almost as he left them the rooms
he occupied in the Tore de la Reina.
hotel in the gardens is called in his
honor, and throughout the Gentle Valley the
name Of Irving Is as familiar as that Of
Diaz, the Cid. The palace of Ibn-l-ahmar
stands on o rocky spur from the Sierra of
Albania that pierces the very heart of the
city of Granada. At the base Of this stony

the Gentle and the Darro. High overhead,
seen from nearly oil parts of the town, are
the snow-capped mountains, while in
the foreground sway the funereal cy-
presses that garnish the walls of the
Vermilion Towers. The Vela Tower is the
most prominent feature of the castle as seen
from the city. On its roof swings the sill
YER tongued bell which, rung at brief inter-
vals throughout the night, marks the tri-
umph of the "Christian" conqueror over
the s.infidel" Moor and assures the people
of Granada that the citadel is still in safe
hands. The loss of the Vela or watch tower
would be an irretrievable blemish to
the symmetry of the structure. The
Alcazaba-K Kassabah, the citadel of the older
portion OF the Moorish Acropolis, is now
used as prison for galley slaves. In it
were confined many Of the prisoners of the
Carist wnr. 1t is to be hoped that meas
ures will be taken Immediately by the
Governor of the Alhambra to preserve this
charming specimen of Arabic art, which
even Ave hundred years of neglect have
failed to destroy.
The New York herald., 1879-07-08
Sultan Murad.

Generally there is only one sultan. In
fact, the existence Of two sultans at the
same time is the rarest possible fact in the
history of the Ottomans, for the practice
has always been to assume that the world
is not large enough for two, and conse-
quently to keep the number down to one by
the application Of the most varied instru-
mentalities, from the bowstring to pair of
scissors-"the abhorred shears" of fate.
But now there are two, and trouble may
come of it. The ancient radical practice of
forwarding superfuous sultans imme-
diately to the bourne from whence, &c.,
though not pre-eminently satisfactory to the
sultan SO sent, had the good effect of paci-
flying the Moslem world on the point of
of equal age that has had less
trouble on that score than the house
of Osman. But the bloody tradition of the
house-the last of it's traditions to fade
out-did fade out finally, and on the access
sion of the present sovereign it was not
thought that his safety on the throne or the
clearness of his title required the slaughter
of his poor predecessor. Change in favor
of humanity was rare fact in that world;
but it came, and it may prove failure.
We regret, and Murad will regret that he
was not content to stay calmly in his prison,
if it shall prove that he has escaped, for
his escape will tend to demonstrate that
death is the only sure keeper Of dethroned
sultans, and the demonstration will restore
this particular function to death and take
it away from the jailers. It is odd that the
only persons who do great deal to
those who are the beneficiaries of such
changes. Capital punishment might be
now numbered with the things that were
but for what has been done against it by
the occupants of murderers' row in all the
prisons. But no sooner is the rope set
aside in favor of imprisonment for life than
the fellow in whose favor the change is
made behaves dishonesty by moving for
escape or begging for pardon. He always
succeeds in one or two years, and society,
seeing the failure of its efforts to make him
safe in new way, demands return to the
old one. Murad is in a rather worse plight
than an ordinary escaped murderer, for
when found he will not be merely returned
to his prison, G. o. D.-he will be put in
the old, deep, quiet place-for while he is
alive he is the sultan, and the man actu-
ally on the throne is usurper; and if he
will not stay quietly in prison they will
put him where he will stay.
