General wallace's Energetic Diplomacy.

london Times, june q
The question of the taxation of foreigners
would seem likely to be set aside, in eonse-
quence OF the energetic categorical refusal
of General Wallace, United States minister
here, to admit the application of the pro-
posed new Loi DIES Patentes TO American citi-
zens The minister had at first, in common
with other foreign representatives consented
to sanction the tax in principle. with reason
able reservations but on receiving official
notice from the Porte that the new tax would
be exacted from June 10, without the ddmis-
sion OF any reservation, the American minis
ter, on June II, sent an official note, declar-
ing that he could not accept any such arbi-
trary proceeding. The other powers must
benefit by the situation thus created by the
timely and courageous attitude of the United
States representative. Had tine Porte wisely
accepted the just reservations presented,
considerable sum might have been added to
its budgetary resources.

BACH, THE BUTCHER.

Trial on a Technically.

On Friday last the case Of Charles Bach, the

Court at Columbus. Attorney Geperai Nash

and Col. ]. II. Shannon, Of Bowling Green.
espoused the cause o Bach. On Tuesday
morning the court rendered its decision, which
reverses the decision ofthe Common Pleas and
gives Bach new trial, on the ground of III
tormaliv in the manner Of drawing the jury.
Judge I,ongworth rendered the decision, which
explains the grounds on which tue proceedings
were based, as follows:
Al the tra, while a Jury was being impan.
ell-d, ana IS men having the qualifications Of
jurors had answered TO their names, the accused
moved the court have the panel filled by draw
iuE from the box sufficient number of names.
The court thereupon ordered IL ballots to be
drawn from tho box and directed venire 10
issue for the persons whose names were drawn.
Thus the requisite number of SO was obtained.
This number was exhausted by challenges,
peremptory and for cause, and also the remain
ing names upon the special venire. The court
thereupon, against the objection and exception
Of the accused, ordered another special venire
to issue tor 20 additional names, to be drawn
from ting box. by this means the panel was
filed.
The accused having exhausted his pe:emptory
challenges, challenged "ne Amos Troine. one
of the 20 for whom the special venire had been
issued, for cause-that he had not been prop
| erly selected 10 serve as juror-but the court
overruled the challenge and permitted said
| Trone to serve rs juror.
To this the defendant objected. The method
for impaneing jurors for the trial Of capital
CAGES provides for the summoning of 80 persons
having the qualifications of jurors who are to
constitute q panel from which to select jury
| for the trial Of the cause. Should 36 such per-
sons not be present, q special venire may be
issued by the court Of its own notion aud upon
motion Of defendant shall be issued for suffi
ciept number to make the full panel 36. From
this number SO obtained the petit jury is select
ed. provided a sufficient number remain after
all challenges, Peremptory and for cause. have
been exhausted. Should this, however, not pe
the case, all vacancies, so caused. must be filled

the accused, by sbecial venire containing
names selected by the presiding judge. Th'
opinion closes:
Tha! the jury shall be chosen as provided

Gen. Ed. 8. Meyer. U.S.. Attorney for
the Northern District Of Ohio, was rcmo, :
cd by the President last week, and E, II.
Eggleston, of Cleveland appointed instead.
The Cleveland Herald regards this MS Sc
rious mistake, as also do the Represent.
atives in Congress from the northern part
Of the State, who, il seems, were insured hy
ihe President that no change would be
made. The only ground for removal seems
to be that lie refused TO support Vest Ever,
EFT, the Republican candidate last iall, be-
cause Of his corrupt use of money TO secure
the nomination. The fact that Everett
was repudiated in TINT strong Republican
district should have strengthened Gen.
Meyer in the estimation of pure Republic
can Administration. Gen. Stewart l..
Woodford, District Attorney for the East
ern District Of New York, was also bounced
for like offense, because he refused to
support the Presidents pet candidate for
Governor last fall.
