Texas, began his inaugural address with: "Fellow-
citizens: In the chaste and beautiful language OF

glorious summer by this sun of York" The result
of this remarkable pronuncamento was that the
Governor was presently overwhelmed with gifts OF
Bibles from every State and from foreign lands;

THE MARQUIS DE RIYES.

The Marquis de Rayes undertook to found
a French colony at Port Breton. The place was
utterly untitled for the purpose 1t was sterile,
ncultivable, remote, wanting in all the chief
requirements of colony. The Marquis, aided
by several partners, chartered or purchased a
number of wOrnOut, unseawOrthy vessels such
as sailors call "foating cOfins," and having
victualled them with condemned provisions,
filled them with emigrants who had been en-
ticed by the glowing rhetoric of his prospect
uses The enterprise reminds one of those
hapless expeditions so many of which were
fitted out in Old Spain during the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, and which set forth to
establish the sovereignty of CASTLE and
Aragon and the holy Catholic faith, in what
they imagined to be new Indies and Perus. SO
confident were they that they often divided the
spoils before they were taken, and many bold
adventurer was commissioned AdelantadO of
provinces he had never seen, and upon whose
inhospitable shores he was destined to leave
his bones.
The difference between the old expeditions
and the modern one is that the Spanards were
all alike deludcd, whereas it is impossible to
believe that the Marquis de Raycs did not know

however were the same in both cases. The
unfortunate Frenchmcn went forth only to
suffer and to perish. The expedition was so i'll
found that it is doubtful whether it could have
succeeded under any circumstances, but as the
case stood there was no chance for the emf
grants They found themselves in a place
which could not be made to yield a support of
any kind to them. That is, those who ever
reached Port Breton found this to be the case.
Many died of their sufierings on the way;
succumbed to the bad food the exposure, the
weary tossing in waterlogged hulks. The whole
expedition was doomed from the very begin
ming, and when at last the few survivors strug-
gled back to France, it is not surprising that
they should have appealed to the courts for
redress. long trial, in the course of which the
defence tried to show that the expedition had
been inspired by religious motives, has just
ended in the condemnation of the Marquis dc

that during the eight years ending with 1888 the
total loss of life in these fisheries was 99S During
1858 alone IL vessels and 700 lives were lost. The
worst year in the sad history of the peFilous bus-

knock him down with stick, but no pistol must be
used under penalty of going to the penitenlary. In
his zeal to stop free-andeasy shooting the Governor
seemsto have gone further than was consistent
with the Anglo-Saxon ideas of self-defence. The
effect of such proposition in Mississippi must have
been striking. We hope it won't injure the Gov
ernOrs chances of reelection.

On another page of this impression will
be found full report of the paper read at
Albany last Thursday at q meeting OF the
Regents of the University by Mr.. George w.
Clinton. 1t is about the celebrated George
Clinton manuscripts which are now being
indexed and prepared fOr publication. just
what these documents contain has never been
full known; but it is apparent from Mr..
Clintons address that their contents are even
more valuable than has been supposed. In
addition to much personal history, the historian
will find in them material for complete sketch
of affairs in this State during the Revolutionary
struggle. The relations of the Tories and
Wings are fully described, and the course of
the Wings is exOnerated from the charges of
inhumanity and dishonor which have some
times been made against them. Clews are also
given which Mr. Clinton believes will lead to the
recovery of the missing pages in the early
journals of the Assembly. There are many
other points of interest in Mr. ClintOn's paper
which might be mentioned. But a careful
perusal of it is the only way by which an
ADEQUATE notion of its value can be obtained.

A bill has been introduced in the Mississippi
Legislature 20 abolish the municipal govern
ment of the city of Jackson, the capital OF the
State, on the ground that it represents only the
disreputable elements in the placc-gamblcrs,
rum sellers, and worse. Now let the New York
Board of Aldermen rise up as one man and
protest with all their might against the passage
of that bill. Would it not establish "A precedent

Ii will be a relief to many persons who give
much thought to the effects Of what they eat
and drink, to know that the National Academy
OF Sciences have decided that glucose is not
unhealthful. Respectable authority has hereto
fore pronounced it to be a fruitful source Of
disease, and so the manufacturers who have
used il in making sweet things, have generally
denied that they did so. The report Of the
National Academy of Sciences however removes
NIL reason for concealment, and it is to be hoped

Superintendent Walling issued an order
yesterday to the police captains which, II 1t
remains in force, will go far toward remedying
some of the abuses that disgrace the work OF
the Coroners in this city. 1t is in effect that
any person arrested in connection with death
from violence must be taken before police
magistrate for commitment or discharge
independently of any action by the
Coroner The result of this will be to make a
Coroners commitment of no value, and also TO
prevent the discharge of prisoners by that
official. That is a consummatiOn to be devoutly
wished for The Coroners have too much
power. They never use it, so far as we Know
to prosecute any one improperly but there is
no doubt that they often let prisoners go free
who should be held for trial. The action Oh
the Coroner in regard to the notorious Porter
who was suspected of having taken part in
double murder in an uptown liquor store
recently is a case very much to the point. That
kind of business should be stopped.

sensational story appeared yesterday in a Phlla-

Congress and diplomatists in Washington are agi-

members of the House aud asked them to object to
its consideration, which they refused to do; and

This representation, il is said, was naturally COM

huenced its dealing with the request Of Secretary
Frolinguysen for a respite. Dir. Hewitt dsposes Of
the whole story by showing that he merely dis

House before offering it. and that in social inter-
view with Mr. West, he gave, frankly and fully, his
reasons for Offering the resolution. We have crlti-

Library in Bond-st. 1t was Incorporated not
quite four years ago, but its success Is aireauy
greater than its friends had dared to anticipate
An article in our local columns contains some
statistics of the work that has been accom-
plished, which merit attention. The clrcula-
ton during the year just ended was sl'233
volumes-equivalent to each volume in the
library being drawn once month. Ihat the
readers appreciate their privileges is shown by
the statement that only six books have been
lost. Such results reflect much credit on the
managers of the enterprise. Beyond doubt
some time in the future they will be able to say
that they have supplied one of the greatest
needs of this city.

Some weeks ago information reached the
civilized world that the Republics men-of-war
which were cruising around Madagascar had
been amusing themselves by sheling the towns
along the coast whenever they felt like 1t.
Moreover, it was stated, they gave no warning
to the unfortunate inhabitants of these ports
and consequently many English residents
suffered great loss of property, and their lives
were endangered. Such proceedings as these
are contrary to all the rules of civilized warfare
and it now appears that the British sufferers are

General Gordon does not approve
Of the proposed British expedition
to reconquer the Soudan. He also
expresses great anxiety about the sit
uation at Khartoum. His advice to
the English Government to appoint
Zobehr Pasha as Governor of Sou
dan is occasioning much surprise in
the Cabinet, with some uncertainty
of action. Unless promptness is
shown in regard to Zobehr's appoint
ment, he thinks the victory at
Trinkitat will be blood split in vain.
This Zobehr is deep in all the arts
and mysteries of the slave trade,and
as such is doubtlessly thought by
Gordon the proper instrument to
deal with the Mahdi. There is a
good deal in the old adage that an
old poacher makes the best game

We want more immigrants in
Tennessee. Where one comes now
we could make room for thousand.
The great stream of human beings
flows far north of this naturally fa-
voredState,givi us but a sprinkling
of its overflow. It is unfortunate
for us, and for the whole South, that
every emigrant should pass through
Castle Garden, or the northeastern
Atlantic cities, to be entrapped and
directed to the semi-frozen fields of
the North. Our glorious sun and
soil wait for the river of human life
to pass over the land, making. at its
every touch, fruit or a blossom
both profitable and beautiful to look
upon.
We must advertise more, individu-
ally, locally and as a State. This is
our home, and we want to surround
it with industrious and intelligent
neighbors. 1t would be we'll if every
newspaper in the State, daily and
weekly, regularly devoted portion
of its space to the advantages oi
Tennessee-always telling the outside
world, reiterating our invitation, thai
we can offer homes and employment'
possessing more natural advantages
taken altogether, than can be offeret
by any other State in the Union.
