Midhnt Paoha in srria.
prom the London elObe,l

From Inc LONDON OiODe
II was not very long ago that Midhat
Pacha was welcomed Vail of Syria, with all
the high hopes that his fictitious reputation of
reformer could call forth. The years of his
administration brought forth DO fruit beyond a
few miles of tramway at Tripoli, and this un-
dertakiDg partook more of private than of a
public character Some twelve months back
he was transferred from Damascus to Smyrna,
but the manner of it left small doubt but that
it was degradation. The alleged reason was
that the appearance of revolutionary posters
calling on the Arabs TO throw of the Turkish
yoke had been connected with him ; and con-
seauently, il was deemed advisable to remove
him to a sphere where his liberal tendencies
would be more strained. Phe disgraced Vail
was commanded to leave with all speed
for SMYRNA by the special dispatch boat which
had brought Fevzl Pacha. His distress at
this crisis, if not unfounded, was ludicrous.
He was firmly convinced that when once he
left Beyrout he should never see land again.
His chief dread was from poison, and he was
careful to take a weeks provision from his
own larder on board with him. He further
provided himself with q revolver, and went
off with the most dismal forebOdings. AS
rats forsake sinking ship, so most of his
fair weather friends left him at this crisis.
Midhat Pacha was one of the proudest men
that ever lived in small conceits, but he had
not much spirit left ON his last day in Syria.
1t was melancholy to see him in one of the
smallest rooms of his sersi, in negligent dress,
with only two or three of his most fawning
eui0urdys around MIN, declaiming on the
u.iscrius that were in store for Syria.
" Que dsrisRdrd c. nsdlteureHr pays? he kept
exclaiming at intervals, twisting his laced
fingers necessarily, though it was easy to
that his own fate and not that of
Syria was uppermost in his thoughts. In vain
Shefket Pacha strove to rally his spirits, or
his faithful Secretary Wassif, to induce him
to put little more order into the affairs he
was leaving. IncOherent mutterings were the
only response. Midhat Pacha transgressed
in one strong, positive sin-an absolute anti
pathY to be guided by European advice, and
in the minor point of being an utterly i'm
practicable visionary, who schemed much but
never had the strength of purpose to carry out
his plans. Besides which we may add that
he was q most inveterate liar, Of the danger
Gus kind who lie like truth. What wonder
then that his foes were more numerous than
his friends? BE was disliked by Europeans
for his systematic opposition to them, and
by Moslems for his want of orthodoxy. In
deed, it is generally asserted that he was not
4 Moslem at all. he was always at pains per-
sonally to declare himself Mahometan, but
many acts of his prove him to have been at
best but lax one Going into his antechamber
1ne day, a book was seen lying on the table that
had Just arrived by post. Taking it up it
proved to be biography of Midhat, which
began by setting forth that he was born
Bulgarian Christian, and son of a butcher.

The Title ofDu1o of Albany to be Revived

The Queen, says TIE Times of May oath has
decided to revive the ancient title of Duke of
Albany, and to confer it upon Prince Leopold.
Her fourth son, as well as his brothers, will
thus bear a ducal title which has historical
significance. The Prince of Wales is Duke of
Cornwall and Rothsay; Prince Alfred is Duke
Of Edinburgh; in the person of the third son
was revived the ancient title of Duke of Con-
naught, once borne by the Royal O'Conors
and the Queens fourth son will bear name
which is associated with many passages in
Scotch history. The title-an old name of
the Highlands, it is said which is thus re-
suscitated is very ancient. 1t was first con-
feTred in 1895 on the second surviving son of
Robert III, while be was Regent of Scotland.
The family did not long keep the honor. One
of the darkest chapters in the story of blood
and strife with which the history of Scotland
opens is the narrative of the swift, tragical
misfortunes Of the House Of Stuart The
second Duke of Albany died on the castle hill
of Stirling, and the title was forfeited. 1t
was subsequently revived and conferred for
the second time. The title was next bestowed
upon Dsrnley shortly before be was married
to Queen Mary; and it was held successfully
by the second son of James VI, and by the
second son of Charles l. As a British title it
was borne by Prince Frederick, second son of
George Ill. The name of Albany is also as
ISOLATED with Prince Charles Stuart, who for
time assumed the title of Count Albany and
indeed, for some four centuries it reappears in
the most stirring episodes of Scotch history.
1t will be only cavaliers who will complain
that antiquarian proprieties have not been OBJ
served in comforting upon the fourth son of
the Sovereign designation which has usually
20 =
to be accustomed by this time to such sole
cisms. Nobody's historical sense is much
shocked by the fact that the Dukedom of
Edinburgh, which now belongs 10 the second
son Of the Sovereign, was once a title of the
eldest son, and once Of a brother Of the Sow
eign, or that it was linked with the Dukedom
of Gloucester, from which it is now severed.
Nobody will complain that the title of Duke
of Albany is disassociated from that of York,
with which it was formerly united; and there
need be no alloy in the feeling Of satisfaction
that one of these names which serve to seep
alive the sense Of historical continuity in tile
life Of a-nation is to be preserved.

Numerous marriages, it is all but univer
sally conceded, are sign of well-filled larders;
but early marriages are considered as systems
Of present improvidence and prospective
poverty. 1t ought to be remembered that
there are many exceptions 70 this deduction.
In some districts a wife can always find en-
ployment which adds to the common income,
and in the agricultural parts of the country
she Is almost indispensable to the vell-being
Of any young man engaged in farming opera
tions. More especially is this the case in Ire
land, where early marriages are convention
ally elassed among the drawbacks Of that IN
happy island. In reality the marriage rate Of
Ireland is very low. But if yOsng man is to
cultivate his holding with success, be should
have the assistance Of female. Accordingly
be wants to take a mate the moment he is
moved by the ambition to plant his own pota-
toes; though the results which usually follow
that step are. SO far as the population Of the
settled districts is concernsd, oiIen calamitous.

APPLICATIONS FOR PARDONs.
The Rules Only by which Com.
mutations or PardOns VIII be
Granted by the Governor.

Governor Hawkins has adopted the
following rules with reference to the
applications for pardon:
l. The fate Of each application must
be determined by its merits as dis
closed BY properly authenticated doc
uments. Section $3.50 of the code
provides: He (the Governor) shall
cause to be entered in book kept for
that purpose, his reasons for granting
pardons or committing punishment
and preserve on file all documents on
which he acted, and submit the same
to the General Assembly when called
on" Therefore, while every citizen
will be respectfully and patiently
heard in any verbal statement touch
ing the merits or demerits of any
pending application, yet no represen-
tatlOn OF facts can be considered or
weighed either for or against an appli.
cation unless reduced to writing and
signed by the party making it.
z The application must, in all cases,
be reduced to writing, setting forth
distinctly the reasons why the convict
should be pardoned or his punishment
commuted, and verified by the oath
OF one or more credible persons.
B A certified copy Of the indict-
ment and fnal judgment of conviction,
together with certified copy of the
evidence on the final trial, If the same
was reduced to writing, must, in each
case, accompany the petition.
4. When the evidence upon which
the prisoner was convicted is not fur
nished, the petition must be sub
mitted, if practical, to the Judge and
Attorney General Of the Court in
which the conviction was had, for
such statement of facts, or such
Recommendation as they may deem
proper to make, touching the same,
5. While these rules will be rigidIy
adhered to, such other terms and CON
ditions will be imposed as each case
may appear to merit.

WHEN the important decision was
given by the Supreme Court, May l
1877, affirming the cOnstitutionality OF
the Legal Tender acts, Justice Cliff
ford read an opinion dissenting from
the majority, in which he was support
ed by the Chief Justice aud Judges
Neloon and Field. That dissenting
opinion, which made great talk at tn,
time, held that the act of Congress, so
far as applicable to contracts made be
fore the passage, is repugnant to the
Constitution and void, and also that il
is repuguaut to the Constitution and
void so far as applicable to contracts
made since its passage. Justice Cliff
tord could, in fact, always be depended
on to take ground against the Federal
or Hamilton idea in our government
One of his last acts was to concur with
Judge Field in dissenting opinion il
a test case containing the Fedora
Election Laws. Again, Massachu
sets Judge Of Probate having in 1877
refused to pay his income tax, or paio
it under protest, claiming that the sal
aries paid by States to their officer
were exempt from Federal taxation
the Supreme Court affirmed that view;
and Justice Clifford, in pronouncine
the decision, said Counties and
other municipal corporations were
created by the States, but the States
were not created by the United States,
as the States .sexisted as Independent
sovereignties even before the Union
was formed.
