William II. Bright, Clerk of the
United States circuit court for the
Northern District Of New York, has
rendered his resignation in consequence
Of a notice in writing received from
Circuit Judge Wallace that a change in
the clerkship was intended. In giving
this notice Judge Wallace expressed re.
greet at'being obliged to make a change,
saying he was entirely satisfied withMr.
Bright's performance of his duties, but
wa so situated that he had no choice in
the matter District Judge A. c,
Coke, Conkling's nephew lis understood
to have written in similar terms, and
conveyed the impression that the
change was against his wish. In com.
menting upon this piece of news the
Nation says:-"Judge Wallace's avow.
al that he is not acting on his own mo-
ton suggests that the same influence
that made Tim Griffith Clerk for the
Southern District has been at work in
Bright's removal, viz, Conkling's inlu.
ence." To our obtuse western mind il
seems a little odd for judges of an i'm,
portant court to publicly admit that
they are bulldozed by q politician into
making an appointment in their gift
contrary to their judgement and desire,

ment of troops for the Tonquin expedi-
dition, has arrived. 1t is currently re-
ported in Shanghai that the British
authorities propose to resort to forcible
measures if private business is obstruct-

graph Company desires to land a new
cable at Shanghai, but has aeknowl-
edged doubt of its right to do 80, and
has asked permission from the Chinese
officials, who have withheld their answer
for several weeks. The British foreign
Office is said to have telegraphed in
structions to land forcibly if necessary.

A dispatch from Bombay says that
the Indian budget fully discusses the
competition of Indian with American
wheat in the London market. The
budget report states that India, though
at a great disadvantage with regard to
internal communications, has q great
advantage through free trade. Railway
rates from the north to Bombay are to
be reduced Immediately IS! per cent,
which is equivalent to a reduction in
the price of wheat of Is. Cd. per quar-
ter in the London market. The report
anticipates a reduction in rates on other
lines directly. With the jetties as we
now have them, and with an improved
lower Mississippi river, SO that freights
in this country may be as nearly all by
water as possible, so as to reduce them
to a minimum, no country on earth can
compete with us in wheat, corn, cattle
and hogs,

The jury in the case of N. L. Dukes,
on trial at Uniontown, Pa, for the
murder of Colonel Mutt, whose daugh-
ter Dukes had seduced, returned a
verdict of not guilty one day last
week. The judge expressed condem-
nation Of the verdict, and the excite
ment in the town was intense. Stuffed
efigies of Dukes and the twelve jurors
were carried about in the streets of
U%niontown, and an indignation meet
ing of citizens of Fayette county was
held, at which resolutions were passed.
Dukes is a member of the lower house
of the Pennsylvania legislature, and on
Tuesday the subcommittee of the
house judiciary committee decided to
recommended his expulsion without a
hearing. The verdict is thought to be
so outrageous, and S 70 much at variance
with the evidence, that northern
papers, in the habit of denouncing the
south for not Furnishing homicide, shave
been doing all in their power to infame
the people of the locality against Dukes.
They have even gone so far as to allege
that all the jurymen were democrats, a
very likely story IN that locality, and all
especially strong argument in favor of
their acquitting a republican legislator.
Whatever Pennsylvanians may think
of democracy or a~ristocracy they have
certainly had enough of their Dukes
and the notoriety he has given them,
and they will be,a little slower here
after in hurting anathemas against
southern juries for acquitting men
accused of homicide.

In the Canadian House of Commons,
one day last week, Mr.. Ross, of Mid
dlesex, moved for the correspondence
between the governments of Canada
and the United States, or any board of
trade of Canada Or the United States,
upon the question of reciprocal trade
relations between the two countries on
the general basis of the reciproc ty
treaty of 1854. He spoke at consider
able length in favor of an attempt being
made to re-establish reciprocal trade re-
lations with the United States, quoting
a quantity of statistics to show that the
natural market of Canada for her sur.
plus products was the United States,
He thought the present all opportune
time for opening negotiations, on &C.
count of the abrogation of the Washing
ton treaty. Canadians would have in
their fisheries a valuable consideration
to offer in return for reciprocal trade.
After some discussion the motion was
carried.

The New York Sun is q newspaper
which we generally like very much for
its candor and boldness for what it
thinks right. But it is not right, but
very wrong, when it threatens the DEM
ocratic party with humiliation if it
does not make Randall speaker. Dem
ocrats do not want to "strike down"
Mr.. Randall; they merely desire to ele-
vate another worthy nan to the speak
ership. We have yet to see the deed
that conveyed the fee simple title to the
speakership to Mr.. RAINFALL. 1t is not
his property. The very men who are
strongest for Carlisle, want to see Mr..
Randall made chairman of the commit
tee on appropriations, the second if not
the first committee in the honse. They
are MOTOR Carlisle because he is Carlisle,
but because he frankly and fully stands
upon the platform of his party upon the
most important issue now before the
people, and the man or newspaper that
"ouAA 0SSoSV SuSA q A4oA "a -
Carlisle of an intention to injure the in
dustries of our country utters nonsense,
or worse. There is no argument in the
assertion, while there may be reasona-
BILE ground for difference OF opinion.
The democratic party can never win if
spurns or lodges its own deliberate
official %utterances, repeated time and
again, and emphasized by its entire his
tory and If 1t was so cowarily as to
yield to threats in any mans interest it
would deserve to die. The biggest nail
that has ever been driven in Sam Ran
dalls political coffin was the semi-oM-
cial manifesto put forth in the editorial
columns of the Sun. Intimidation will
no longer win in this count try, any
where, whether it be of negroes in the
white operatives in the New
England states, or the rank and file of
political parties by would be dictators. |

The. report of the Massachusetts,
legislative committee on education upon
so much of Governor Buffers message
as refers to the defects of the school
system, and the bad showing of Mas
sachusetts as regards illiteracy in COM
p~arison with other states, enters a
protest against the arraignment of the
state on those grounds. The committee
points out that the foreign-born popu-
lation of Iowa, the state with which the
comparison was made, comes mostly
from countries where education is
universal, while the foreign-born popu-
lation of the cities and large manufac-
turing towns of Massachusetts is of a
whollydiferent class. Gov. Butler has
pricked a good many of the + etentious
claims of the old Bay State. 1t hurts
