When George Borrow was Bible cOlporteur in
Spain he had several experiences similar to that Of
the agent mentioned in our dispatches yesterday
The people knew nothing of the Bible and were set
on by the priests in some country villages to NAL
treat the Protestant. Borrow, however, was in
domitable, and physically very strong so that he
was generally let alone. He found that when the
Spanards could be got to talk about the Bible they
generally ended by buying it,

The Senate has decided that the Danville riot
and the Copiah County murder shall be in
vesigated, and the truth made known. Mr..
Sherman and Mr. Malone delivered addresses
on the subject, favoring the investigation, of
course ; but the Democratic Senators wisely re-
Trained from speech-makng. The vote on the
resolution, 80 to 20, shows, however, that the
proposed inquiry is not at all to their taste. If
they had wanted to make their silence really
significant the Democrats should have voted in
favor of an investigation.

The main clause of the law forbiddng the
manufa cture of cigars in tenement houses has
been declared unconstitutional by the Court of
Appeals. This is a decision which will give
satisfaction to all the friends of the work
ing people. 1t has long been the desire of
the leaders of certain trades in this city to
prevent cigar-makcrs from following their
business at home. The men in the factories
they could easily control; but the people who
worked at home were beyond their reach So
they had this law passed, on the ground that
cigar-making In tenement houses was unwhole-
some, although the Board of Health had not
condemned it. The result was to drive all the
men to the factories, to keep many women
from working at all, and to give few UNI
scrupulous men much power. OF course the
suffering which the law entailed on a large
class of poor people made no matter to the
leaders of the tlades-u unions so long as 1t
answered their personal ends.

The Pilot Commissioners in an official commu-
nication to the Treasury Department at wash
ington, make an assertion full of grave signlii-
canoe. 1t is that both the Swash and the False
channel leading out of this harbor are growing
narrower; and the statement is borne out by the
frequency with which vessels get aground now
The laws against dumping refuse matter OF any
kind in the Bay are rigid enough, but they are
not properly enforced. The shore-inspectors
say they do the best they that they are not
allowed sufficient money to pay for hunting up
evidence enough to convict violatOrs of the law.
Thisis all so old Ia story that the public does
not heed it much. The Legislature, however,
ought to give the matter serious consideration.
The destruction of New York harbor is nosmal
thing.

There is no disposition on the part of any one,
so far as we know, to reduce too much the pilot
fees of this port. They are undoubtedly too
high, and merchants who are well informed III
the matter think reduction of 33 per cent is
needed. However, the pilots say that that would
ruin them, but it is understood that they are
willing to compromise on 25 per cent. So the
bill in the Assembly has been referred BACK
to the Committee on Commerce and Navlga-
ton for further consideration. All right. Leu
it be further considered, but quickly. IL there
is any undue delay in the committee-room' OF
any material opposition to the % per cent re-

The George Alfred Townsend libel suit
is recalling the painful features of the Mo
rey letter scandal. Testimony taken yes
terday and the day before shows what
hearty and substantial support the publica-
ton of the wicked forgery received from the
Democratic leaders of the canvass Of 1850, even
after General Garfield had.exposedit. Their share
IN the matter has always been suspected; but
their unscrupulousneSs was never brought home
to them so clearly as it has been by the evidence
received in this trial. 1t is doubtless painful
subject for these men at any time; bat it Is
particularly unfortunate for the Democratic
party that the whole affair Of the Morey letter
should be revived so wildly just on the eve Of
another National canvass.

Lord Lyons has got into i'll odor with the French
because, IN addressing note to Victor Hugo. he
failed to recognize the poets unapproachable SUBJ
Unity. This kind Of thing has tendency TO be-
como fatiguiug. Victor Hugo is not the eighth
wonder of the world his admirers pretend, and if it
IS held necessary for all the world to bow before
his shrine, ON penalty of offending the susceptible
ties of his cOuntrymen, considerable part of jhe
world will be apt to rebel, and to challenge his
claim TO the homage of mankind And in such an
event it mghtn not be easy to establish the validity
of his credentials.

Judah P. Benjamin is reported as denying the
authenticity of the letter attributed to him by
Thurlow Weeds literary executor. In copyimgit
from the advance sheets of the forthcoming
memoir, we were careful to say that but for the
assurance given by this literary executor (Mr.
Thurlow Weed Barnes, that the proofs of its
authenticity are conclusive, we should certainly
hesitate to believe that it could have come from
the seeding Louisiana Senator, of whose fame
as great lawyer the country has since been
proud" Now that Mr.. Benjamin puts IN the
expected denial, it will be in order to see what
proofs Mr.. Barnes has and we hear from him

In the Batavia murder case it is difficult to sepa-
rate Palmer, who played the role of Iago, from
Rowell, who took the part of Othello. The defence
of Rowell is, as usual, the plea of insanity. But
Palmer has admitted that he spurred Rowel on to
revenge himself, and that he furnished the weapon
with which Lynch was killed. Now, if Rowell had
the faint of insanity in his blood, and it, as stated,
his family aud friends were aware of this, what pO-
sition does Palmer occupy

Editor San Antonio Light:
An article appeared in your issue Of
April 30, accusing me that / had
skipped" the city, etc., and that had
received liberal subscriptions in money,
etc. Permit me few words in defense.
The accusation that | had skipped is
simply absurd, because | left with the
particular. understanding between Mr..
Liberati and Mr.. Blumenberg, as well
as Mr.. Taylor Francis and myself that |
should 90 TO Houston to work up two
good houses on the 9TH and sth Of MAY
during the Interstate drill. am here
now to accomplish this. do not intend
to run away, but to do all in my power
to pay back as far as | can what owe.
No one more deeply deplores the flnan-
oial result OF the music festival. | would
give half of my life had this not occurred.
While, do not pretend to say that am
entirely free from censure, yet no one
believe will say that have not paid out
everything, leaving nothing for myself.
MY blame Is that | relied too i'm
plicitly upon pecuniary help, which
Mt the last moment failed to
come, without which never
would have undertaken what did. Had
Turner hall been filled every night. as |
expected 1t would have been on such an
occasion, even leaving the gallery unsold,
would not only have had enough money
10 deiray all expenses, but would haye
had surplus. The second accusation
that had received liberal subscriptions
Is mistake, save the liberal donation of
Colonel Belknap of $50. The mistakes
which | have made | am conscious of,
and am only deeply sorry that | was
not able to pay all In full, yet | can give
every one the assurance, n / only retain
my health, that ! shall pay back every
cent owe, aud beg my creditors to
bear me no malice and give me time to
recover from this disaster. History re-
poats itself. Let one be unfortunate, no
matter what good he may have accom-
pllshed, or how honest his intentions
may have been, the maxim remains that
financial success after all is the standard
by which we are measured. hope this,
my reply, will end for time the CON
troversy. Respectfully,

was further learned that Nellie, a II
