THE LErEvaE-scHaoDEa CASE.

The preliminary examination in this case
has been concluded, the counsel have pre-
sented their arguments, and the Court has
reserved its decision. A defense of tenn.
porary insanity has been developed, and
the examination of the witnesses for the
defense has been very adroitly controlled
in the interest of this hypothesis. The
weak point in the defense unquestionably
was the failure to put Mrs. Schroeder on the
witness stand. As it is, the prime allega-
ton of the defense, namely. the fact of
the seduction by DR.. Lefevre, remains un-
demonstrated, since the whole of the direct
evidence to it rests upon the allegations OF
the defendant himself, and since his posi-
ton necessarily compels suspicion of his
statements under the circumstances. The
defense no doubt must have had powerful
reasons for withholding the testimony of
Mrs Schroeder, for it is obvious that in
taking this course they were exposing
themselves to very injurious constructions,
and especially since, from their ostensible
point of view, the production of this wit
ness should have been in the direct line of
their interest. Ii we may form judg-
ment from the full reports of this examina-
ton which have been published in the Gail,
there appears to have been rather re-
markable tendency on the part of the Court
to exclude germane evidence proffered by
the prosecution, moreover. In prelim-
mary examination such course might be
productive OF little harm, provided that
the defendant is held to answer before a
superior Court, and from the nature of this
case it may be presumed that the Court
will hardly assume the responsibility of
discharging the defendant.

HANcocrs LETTER TO sHERMAN.

a good deal has been said about
certain letter written by General Hancock
to General Sherman while the question
of the Presidential succession was still
unsettled. 1t has been alleged that
in this letter General Hancock de-
clared his conviction that in certain con-
tinsency it would be his duty to use his
military authority for the purpose of seat
ing Tilden in the White House. The gen.
eral impression derived from the reports
about the letter was that Hancock had
with some difficulty been dissuaded from
taking the field IN support of Tilden. The
letter is itself now given to the public, and
it is due to General Hancock, and still
more to the cause of truth, to point out
that it in no respect bears out the conclu-
sions which have been based upon it. There
is, in fact, no covert treason or disaffection to
befoundinit. 1t wasevidently written with
out reserve to brother soldier, and while it
conveys the writer's views upon the pro-
priety of employing the army in civil con-
troversies, quite frankly, there is nothing
in it at all derogatory of General Han
cocks fidelity to his trust, or indicative Of
any idea of nsurping powers which did not
belong to him. In fact, we gather from
the letter that he would have held it TO be
his duty to obey whatever orders he re-
ceived from his superiors, although his pri-
vate opinion was at variance with their
purposes. Much less in the way of deli
sion of view could not have been expected
from any man who was not an absolute
automaton. General Hancock's political
bias was no doubt Democratic. That was
inevitable under the circumstances. But
there is certainly nothing in his letter to
Sherman to Justify doubt as to his fidel-
ity under any circumstances that were
likely to arise at the time, and
we think so much ought at once
to be conceded by his opponents. We do
not think it either necessary or desirable
to endeavor to arraign him upon charges
which would never have been dreamed of
but for his acceptance of the Democratic
nomination We believe that his unfitness
for the Presidency can be demonstrated
without impugning his loyalty or blacken-
ing his character. No partisan feeling
should obscure the eminencs of his services
in the cause of the Union, and no honorable
opponent of his claims can desire that
the truth should be twisted or strained for
the pitiful purpose of exciting prejudice
against him. The truth of history is
enough for all salutary purposes in this
campaign, and whoever is not satisfied with
that need expect neither sympathy nor aid

The letter of acceptance of a candidate
for the Vice Presidency naturally possesses
less significance and interest than that of
his colleague on the ticket, but as the Office
itself is one OF no weight, it seems impos-
sible for those who accept it to refrain
from asaihng themselves OF their one OPP
portunity 20 acquire some notoriety. MIR.
English has consequently written much
longer letter than General Hancock, but
it cannot be regarded as an improvement
ON the latter's appeal What it most re-
3 .mbles is an editorial article from an
average Democratic journal, upon Han
cocks acceptance. A third of it is devoted
to turgid eulogy of the head Of the
ticket, and the greater portion of the re-
mainder consists in coarse abuse of the Re-
publican party, and rash predictions as to
what the Democrats will do if they get
into power. Some of his arguments for a
change of government are curious, as, for
instance, the assertion that the Republic
cans ought to be turned out, not
because they have governed i'll, but
because they have been so long
in Office Not a few of his state.
ments are unwarrantable misrepresenta
lions, only to have been expected from the
Democratic stump or press, as for example
the statement that the present Admins
alton holds office Sin defiance of the
wishes of the majority of the people. !"
The letter, in fact, fairly bristles with
gross misstatements of this character, and
it at least shows that the Democratic can
didate for the Vice-Presidency is by no
means above the intellectual and moral
plane OF the least respectable elements of
his party. Mr.. English, being more ex-
perienced politician than his colleague, has
endeayored to say something upon various
living issues, but even here he has only
succeeded in being obscure or trite. His
remarks upon the currency are vague and
misty enough to be adopted by the Green
hackers, aud what he says on the Chinese
question shows no appreciation of the i'm
portance of that question. The letter as
a whole is in fact almost beneath criti
csm. There are a thousand Democratic
editors in the country who could
have written a far better one, and
very few stump orators who could
not have surpassed it, Neither of these
Democratic epistles viii appeal to the
sober independent vote OF the country
They have in them no ring OF statesman
ship. That OF Hancock is the raw effu-
sion Of man wholly IMMERSED in politics,
while that OF English is vulgar, undigni-
fed, untruthful, and altogether Oh low
and Objectionable plane of thought There
is in neither any ground for confidence as
to the tendencies of the writers, or OF the
party they represent. General Hancock
pledges himself to no reforms whatever
while English merely intimates that in bis
opinion revolution among the oftice.hold-
ers is the panacea for all existing evils.
The Democracy has no reason to feel proud
of its standard bearers, and thoughtful men
viii see in these letters of acceptance
fresh reasons for adhering to the Republic
can party.

TURKEY AND THE POWERS.

1t is announced that the proposed naval
demonstration against the Porte has been
postponed, and it is now intimated that
the whole question of the Greek frontier
may be reopened, on the pretext that Tur-
key had no representation at the Berlin
Conference. Such plea at such stage
OF the proceedings sounds oddly. Itwould
appear from it that the Powers, with all
their concern for equity and justice as be-
tween nations, wholly ignored the right of
Turkey to be heard upon SO important and
directly personal a question as the parti-
ton of her territory. They met and dis
cussed the Greek frontier, and they finally
determined that Greece should be given a
large slice of the Ottoman Empire. But
the one party they failed TO consult was
the power whose territory they had thus
undertaken to give away, and now they
find it necessary to reopen the case in or
der to give the principal hearing. We
think it is tolerably certain that. if the Con-
ference is reopened this will not have been
the real reason for so doing. It has been
evident for some time that great Difficult
ties lay in the way of the proposed naval
demonstration. France, for example,
gave it to be understood that she would
withdraw her ironclads if anything more
than show of force was to be made.
Russia was believed TO be very anxious for
a pretext to set Turkey and Greece at log
gerheads. The intentions of Austria were
not altogether understood. And, alto
gether, it seemed possible that the con-
templated joint action might result in
serious quarrel among the powers. 1t is
quite probably to these considerations that
the change of base now announced is at
tributable

THE PURPLE OF THE ASCIENTs. Many
months ago somewhat full abstract was
given of memoir by E. Schunck on the
purple OF the ancients. He has been con-
tinuing his researches, and on June 18th
said something about them to the Chemi-
cal Society, London. 1t seems that at the
present day the natives of the west coast
Of Nicaragua practice the dyeing of purple
by using the juice of species of shell.fish
called Parpara patula. A sample of cot
ton so dyed by them did not possess so
brilliant a purple as he expected. 1t was
readily separated from the cotton by boil
ing aniline. Strong oxidizing agents had
very little effect upon the color, which be-
haved in other respects very much
Ike the punicin he obtained from the
sacs OF the Pu,pura lapillus of the
shores OF Great Britain. When sub
jected to concentrated sulphuric acid
the coloring matter was dissolved,
yislding a duh purple solution, having an
absorption band between ID and E. After
heating this solution, and allowing it to
stand, the color changed to bright green,
and the absorption band disappeared, and
purple precipitate was obtained from the
green solution when it was treated with
water.
