Charles Davis, the much married commercial
traveller, who was arrested I'm Chicago for big
amy some time ago, has been tried on that
charge, and was on Saturday sent to the pen1-
Tertiary Tor five years. 1t was alleged that he
had more wives than he could tell on his fingers
ends,-that he had one, In fact, In nearly
every town where he sold goods. Only three
marriages, without divorce or death were
proved up against him. however,-that number
being considered, In legal point OF view. as
good as thousand. OF course Mr.. Davis made
q serious mistake in going into the marrying
business so extensively; but, having embarked
In 1t, his next great blunder was in not coming

Bismarck, In his attempt to increase the power
OF the imperial throne by depriving the city
OF Hamburg OF part OF its free port territory,
has fallen back upon his old scheme OF threat
ening TO resign unless his wishes shall be COM
Piled with. The people of Germany are appa-
rently beginning to understand the true intent
and meaning OF this assault upon Hamburg.
and they will probably conclude to let the
chancellor resign rather than be coerced by
him. There is too much freedom and liberty in
The cities OF Hamburg, Bremen and Lubbock to
please the autocratic and de5potIc Bismarck,
and he wants TO bring them more directly
under the sway OF the imperial government
These free cities are constantly and rapidly in
creaslng In population and wealth, while other
commercial centers in Germany are either at a
standStln or are retrogradlng The very COM
mercial life OF Hamburg is at stake In this con-
test, and her citizens evidently mean to fight
.yaliantly for her rights.

For fifty years past Tepublicanism has been
steadily progressing In the English Kingdom
until now the government is a monarchy only
In name. The power OF public sentiment has
wrought the change without resort to revolu-
tionary measures, and 1t is still working its
way most effectively towards the overthrow Of
even the name OF monarchy. The composition
of the new ministry illustrates the rapid strides
republican principles have made. Men of the
most advanced and pronounced republican
ideas and convictions are honored with high
places In the government because they repre-
sent sentiment too powerful 10 be ignored
Less than century ago Englishmen would
have been punished for high treason for utter
aDces milder than those which have placed the
radical members of the cabinet In the exalted
positions they now occupy. Some OF them have
not hestated 10 advocate the adjustment
the remaining forms OF royalty, and to say that
the country had better dispense with the crown.
The fact that the queen is scarcely more than
an ornamental figure head In the government
has, more than all else, induced the people to
tolerate the crown in good natured way
France has republican government in fact, as
well as IN name, and thus, we see. the two lead
ing nations OF Europe adopting those principles
OF government which were established In
America hardly more than century ago.

A Good Letter.
n, Y. Tribune.I j

General Arthur's letter of acceptance en-
bodies sound and vigorous Republican doc
trine throughout. The most conspicuous top
ic of the paper is the irrepressible conflict
that has waged for years, and will continue,
between the Democratic party and the elec-
ton laws. Every attempt that has been made
to impose proper restrictions upon the act OF
voting, in order to prevent!fraud, has been re-
sisted by the Democratic party, which thrives
when dishonest voting is possible, and pines
under registration laws and other measures to
prevent ballot-box stuffing and repeating. The
attempt of the Democratic house to cripple
these laws by Withholding appropriations was
fitting climax of long series of efforts to
break down the safeguards of the suffrage.
The independent voters of the country, VINO
have read Mr.. Davenport's testimony before
the Wallace committee, know Dy what
frightful accumulation of proof TINS charge
against the Democratic party is supported In
this locality, to say nothing OF many others,
and will need no further testimony to sustain
the arraignment contained in General Ar
thurs letter The letter makes statement
at some length of his views respecting the ad-
ministration of the civil service, and recalls
the Republican record in the resumption OF
specie payments. 1t also reminds the country
that the very votes which were created by the
enfranchisement of the southern blacks being
stolen or suppressed except in the census re-
turns are now counted upon to put the Demo-
cracy into power. General Arthur makes
good point when he reviews the repudlation
record of the South, which now seeks 70 con-
troll the government. The letter we'll supple
ments that of General Garfield, and the two
tooether should command the vote of every
patriotic citizen
