The Chicago Journal has little or no
faith IN the honor of the English soldier.

because the British will be sure to nse The
intervening time to prepare 70 crush them
They should drive every EneIish soldier
who now deseerates their SACRED soil with
ais presence into the sea or bury him six
feet under the ground. and then treat with

psan nations were not all engaged in the

The question was raised in 1851

was propounded by Gen. Singleton of this

that England is now engaged in against
Ireland. India, the South African Repub-
lie. and wherever there is any resistance
to her despotie and tyrannical pretensiens.
It is passing strange that Germany. Aus
tria, Holland and France. whose descend
ants the Beers are, do not unite in manly
effort to check the injustice and wrongs
which England is perpetrating against the
liberties of mankind. IF the Irish people,
who fight we'll for liberty under every flag
but their own, could have half chance to
arm and equip themselves, England would
soon be compelled to take her iron hoof
off the necks of those greatly outraged and
long suffering subjects.

The Memphis Aualanche in noting the

Minnesota. says:
Minnesota has finally agreed to pay SO
cents on tie dollar of its repudiated indebt-

on the dollar for that state is no more than
IL cents on the dollar for the Tennessee
debt. That is to say comparing the total
OF the debt of the two states, with the

A movement is on foot in Chicago to
have Edward s. Isham appointed as a
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. His peculiar fitness for that po-
sition seems to be that he is tho law part
mar of Secretary Lincoln, and was a COL
lege mate of General Garfield. 1t is not
stated that he ever lived in Ohio. but
such is probably the case,

An exchange says:

Hancock the Superb, all things consid-
cred, was bigger man than Garfield on
inauguration day, aDd got something more
than the fair share of honors that major
general of the army and defeated candi-
date for the presidency had right TO ex-
pect. He ihas accepted the situation in
such manly aud graceful way that there
is DO doubt that he is stronger and more
popular than ever before.
This appears to be the popular verdict
regarding the defeated candidate for the
presidency, and its effect on the next
national campaign will not be Insignificant.

sci for the defense in the Star route pros

ity for. filing a criminal information. He
challenged the counsel on the other side to
pointto any such. statute If such could
be filed at all, it could only. be filed be-
cause of it's being authorized by common
law, There had never been in. this country
a prosecution by Information, except in
cases Of minor offenses, such as violations
OF the revenue laws, where that mode OF
proceeding has been expressly authorized
by the statutes. The grand jury was the
only recognized authority for the prosecul-
ton of parties for crime, but If this mode
of proceeding should prevail, grand juries
might as well be dispensed with in the ftl-
ture; but il the prosecution relied on the
c ommon law, then they must be bound by
its rules. In this case the court was asked
to allow this information TO be filed and
warrants issued on the affidavits of the
Postmaster General and VoodWard. lie
