If the telegraphic reports about the &C
tions of the spectators at the Guiteau trial
are correct, excuse can be found for the
liberty given them by recent French
case,
According to the decision which has
just been given by the French Court of
Cessation, spectators in French court of
justice are at liberty to indulge in mani
festations of feeling which are better suit
ed TO the play house than TO the tribunal.
The Court of Cessation, which is the high
est court of appea1in France. reversed a
decision of the judges, at the Assizes of
the Eure-et-Loire, : condemning baker
named Norm to two days Imprisonment
for contempt of Court. NORM was pres
ent at the trial Of young woman who
was accused of numbering her child. A
judicious appeal by counsel to the feelings
of an unreasonable French jury brought
about verdict of acquittal, and some APP
plause was heard from the spectator in
court. The satisfaction of NORM, in par
ticular, seems,to have known no prudent
bounds, for, after being several times re-
buked from the bench for his disorderly
expressions of satisfaction, he was at
length bounced upon and then and there
consigned to prison.

away. Halt he exclaimed. drawing re-

Horace. Slowly and sadly he con-
tinued in subdued voice they left the
church, and walked along the we'll worn
path to the rude grave of Lawrence
Standing near the stone, placed there by
the Indian, Casper, and his fair compan-
ION here his mutterings became inaudi-
bic and his voice died away in groar.
Suddenly he raised himself, looked in
tensely toward the door. and sank back
dead of broken heart.
This incident carries with it its own
moral; it is but another argument against
pernicious literature,

Elis, ftinerant preachers, calling them
selves the Holiness Vanguard, hired hall
in Quincy H.. and soon had revival
under full Roadway. While they made
numerous converts, they also offended the
clergy of the city by violently abusing
them, and their meetings became disorder

The two revivalists were at length shown
to be unprincipled adventurers, bent only
on making profitable collections, and, on
being arrested as Migrants, they promised

the men who have been caught in the star
route grand larcenies. The fact that Mr..
Arthur himself, al the dinner given in
honor of Dorsey at Deimonico's soon after
the election of 1880, in a speech made by
him, publicly gave Dorsey the credit OF
carrying Indiana and thereby saving the
election; this fact puts the President in a
very delicate situation in relation to the
present prosecutions. But all the indica.
tons are that an administration that was
elected by star route money viii not do

s.Had the Garfield administration done
for us what the Arthur administration did,
we would have carried the state (Virginla)

President Garfield sympathized with the
liberal movement in Virginia and would
have strengthened it by his appointments
when appointments were needed to be
made, as was the policy of President
Hayes, but he did not feel at liberty to
throw any particular weight into local
fights, as Malone asserts President Arthur

The chief distinction between stalwart
and half-breed republican seems to be !;
that while each faction desires to be on the
winning side, when the half breeds are in
power the stalwarts fight and try to GUST
them; while the half breeds accomplish the
same thing by simply going over to the
other side To be sure it is an abandoning
of principle but that never troubled re-
publican, especially half breed one.

ability that Dorsey win be called to ac-
count for his participation in the Star

congress win be elected, and when the

probation of Dersey's inestimable value

and they generally get it in the shape of a
hungry stomach. The necessity for many
has produced more poetry than any amount
of divine affiatus possibly could. The de-
sire for money seems to have inspired Mr..
John Ricketson, of Pennsylvania, iron and
