The Murder OF Abdul aziz

Tall Mail Gazette.
fiie eonssantiHople correspondent of the
Times. discussing the probable fate of the pr:s-
oners condemned for the murder Of the late
Sultan Abdul Aziz, says there is GOOD reason
to believe that those who id not actually take
part in the assassination will have their sentence
eomnuted to Imprisonment for life at Taft. near
Mecca
This unexpected clemency is to be attributed
ct least in part to tie excitement and intiigna-
1'oh which the mode Of conducting the trial has
produced both in Pera and STEAMBOAT. The Sui
tan learned that the Embassy dragemans had
unanimously condemned the proceedings as IT.
regular; that the Ambassadors had telesraphed
IN this sense to their respective governments;
that the newspaper correspondents bad I'M
sparingly described and criticised the way in
which the proceedings had been conducted:
and that even in STEAMBOAT. among good Nus
sulmans. the trial bad produced aH impress
sion very different from what was intended.
In these circumstances his Majesty per-
ceived that it would be dangerous to have the
sentence carried out. and he determined TO COM
mute it. At the same time, in order to counter
act the growing conviction that the whole story
OF the assassination was an invention, rumors
were propagated through the local press and
other channels that nearly all the accused had
made partial confessions. In spite of these
many people. and among them the mother of
Abdul AZiZ and some of the doctors who exam
med his body, still hold to the conviction that
tnc--a was no assassination and that Abdul -iziz
committed s,..;"ide. The trial has by no means
cleared up the mystciy."
The correspondent adds that III "a now in a
position to explain why the prosecution shove.
such great anxiety to get Mitlhat condemned
and employed such unjustifable mea.s for this
purpose:
..If NAV ho ,.or,op,,o-o,l 4a,& ,oooo ,,,,4,-
ago the Sultan was greatly alarmed by q revo-
lufionary propaganda. Of which the chief insti-
gator was believed to be the ey-khcdive
judicial functiOnary, who has since taken
prominent part in the trial was ordered to make
an inquiry, and came to the conclusion that
Midhat was Implicated in the propaganda. The
conclusion was probably erroneous, but it made
a strong impression on the Sultan's mind and
from that moment Midhats fate was decided
AS no legal proofs of his completely in the sedi-
tious agitation could he produced other means
had to be employed for getting rid OF him. and
the regiclde inquiry was used for this purpose"

Clerical OratOry.


Why do not or preachers study oratory? As
preachers, not pastors, their business is to work
certain effect, and all helps to its producticn it
should be part Of their education Is learn. I
presume shall not be misnsaaderstood to mean
the effect of displaying self, and winning admir-
alton for personal gifts. What the true
preacher seeks to do is to inform the intellect
with Christian truth to stir the heart and there
by influence the will, Of his hearers. Half the
sermons annually preached are, SO far as human
insight goes, waste Of labor and breath. Two
things partly account for this: one. is that ma
jority OF the men set to preach are out Of their
real vocation,-go0d pastors they may be, but
fit preachers they are not; another is that those
with more aptitude for preaching do not yot
understand the means tobe employed to attain
their object.

There is great excitement and alarm
in England, caused by the posting OF
play cards thron Oh Ireland and IN
the Irish entries in England and Scot
land on Saturday night. The supreme
council of the irish Republican broth
erhood, commonly called the Fenlan
organization, has issued a proclama--
ton commanding the people to remain
quiet and not be induced to create any
riots or disturbances. The proclan'a =
ton commands them to Swatch and
wait until the hour of action comes.
1t IS said that this proclamation was
drawn after grave elaboration and
consultation with the Irish leaders al
America, Scotland and England. II
was posted all over Ireland Saturday
night, at midnight, and in the Irish
centres through Scotland and Eng
land.

/. All the worlds news. 30 presented that
the reader will get the greatest amount OF in
formation with tho least Improbable expend.
iture Of time and oyesight. The Sun long
ago discovered the golden mean between re-
dundant fulness and unso tisfactory brevity:
II. Much Of that sort Of news which de-
ponds less upon it's recognized importance
than..upon its interest to mankind. From
morning to morning THE Sun prints con-
tinued story Of the lives Of real men and wo.
men, and OF their Deeds plans, loves, hatos.
and troubles This story is more varied and
more interesting than any romance that
was ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column, and
freshness originality, accuracy, and decorum
in the treatment Of every subject.
Nv. Honest comment The SUNS habit is
to speak out fearlessly about men and things.
v. Equal candor in dealing with each p pc;
litical party, and equal readiness to commend
what lis praiseworthy or to rebuke what Is
blamable in Democrat or Republican.
vi. Absolute independence of partisan
organizations, but unwavering loyalty to true
Democratic principles. The Sun believes
that the Government which the Constitution
gives us is good one to keep. Its notion OF
duty is to resist to its utmost power the OF.
forts Of men in tho Republican, party to set
up another form Of government in place Of
that which exists. The year 1881 and the
years Immediately following will probably de-
eide this supremey important contest. IHE

The scheme OF Mr.. Jay Gould to

world is remarkable, not alone for ITS
immensely. The power which he ex-

results not from having added any

productive industry but to his genius
for combination and consolidation
The same is true of Vanderbuilt, who
