The News says it is believed that the Irish
Liberals, who supported the Government on
the 9th inst. in defeating the conservative
amendment to the English registration
of voters bill, which provided that
the cost of registration snould be
charged to the Treasury instead of
the local rates have decided to vote against
the government tomorrow on Sir Massey's
motion to insert clause providing that
the expenses of the registration be charged
to the Treasury. The government considers
the matter of vital importance, and If the
motion is carried the result may be
very grave. Mr.. Parnell has issued
strong whip to his followers to be present at
the division of this motion. The grievance
of the Psrnelites is that the government re.
fuses to give it's assurance in respect to the
provision of a sufficient sum for the ex-
penses of the registration of votes in Ireland.

INEQUALITIES of the Law.

In the supreme court on Tuesday
Rowan was tried upon an Indictment
for forging an order for the sum of 81.
The defense was temporary insanity,
and the jury disagreed. On Thursday
the case was again tried and verdict
of guilty was found, and Rowan was
sentenced to the state-prisOn for five
years. At first blush, considering the
nature of the defense and the fact OF
the jury on the first trial, this nat
urally strikes one as Il pretty severe
sentence. but the idea would naturally
be that the court went upon q distinct
and deliberate idea of REFRESHING crime
by iHtlicting the severest penalty the
law would allow in all cases, or sub
stantially so, in order that the severity
of punishment might reduce the Grim
inal docket. But it appears, that on
the same Thursday, Burke was con
victed of the larceny of Il gold watch
and chain, and was sentenced to the
state-prisOn for one year. In the last
case the amount or value of property
involved was much the largest. Is it,,
then, that forging, in and of itself,
without regard to the Importance of
the case, is so much worse than steal
ing, or is the judicial mind influenced
not by general principles of law
whether as punitOry or reformatory,
but by considerations outside the mere
law and fact? There is, of course, the
duty of maintaining the law, obligatO-
ry upon all who have authority, but to
the lay mind it seems that the enforce
ment of law should be governed not
alone by the discretion as to intiiction
of punishment permitted by the statute,
but by the sense of justice which takes
note of the enOrmity, or otherwise, of
the particular act. Abstractly speak
ing, forging is crime, whatever the
amount involved so is stealing; but
the natural idea of the guilt in one
case or the other is affected by the in
jury done. Taking five years as the
unit for : what, the statute permit
ting, would the supreme court do with

England versus Russia.

The chief topic of foreign news for a
short time past has been II threatened
war between England and Russia, for
| which both countries have been max
ing active preparations.
! The dispute between the two great
powers is the result of long series of
aggressiOns on the part of each nation.
Since the English became pOssessOrs of
! the Indian peninsula the possibility of
a conflict has always been seen. Be
tween the Russian and the British pos
sessions there have been two barriers,
the deserts of Turkestan and the
mountains of Afghanistan. Within the
last quarter of Il century the first OBJ
stacle has been overcome by the Rus
| slams. One TurcOman tribe after an
other has been brought under subjec
ton the Caspian has become virtually
a Russian sea, and Russian influence is
supreme even among tribes which yet
retain nominal Independence. The
| testimony even of English travellers
who have penetrated into the interior
of Asia is that this advance has been Il
| blessing to the nOmadic people who
now for the first time have been made
to feel the power of law. Every step
has, however, brought the inevitable
conflict with England so much nearer.
There was no one point IN the great
deserts which England could declare to
be natural boundary beyond which
Russian ambition must not pass. The
encrOachments upon khIva were
watched with jealousy, but no resist
ance was made. The Kingdom of AT
ghanistan, however, forms barrier
which is capable of defence. England
therefore entered into an alliance with
Afghanistan to protect her frontiers
from invasion and obtained pledge
from Russia to respect the boundaries.
So long as the provisions of these treat
les are observed Afghanistan serves as
a neutral groung separating the two
great powers.
The present dispute is in regard to
the definition of the Afghan frontier.
According to English maps the line
starts at a point two hundred miles
from the city of Herat and runs from
thence northeast. The Russian authO-
rites place the line at a distance of
only thirty miles from Herat. Herat is
recognized as a place of such strategic
Importance that it has come to be call
ed "the key to India" 1t commands
all the caravan roads. 1t lies in "A great
valley and is strongly fortified. The
disputed territory lying between the
two principal rivers of northern AT
ghanistan Is described as being of eX-
traOrdinary fertility. If the Russians
are allowed possession of it it will give
them an admirable base for future Ope-
ratiOns. 1t is said to furnish all the
supplies necessary for the subsistence
of great army. England is compelled
to resist the Russian encroachments not
merely in order to protect her Indian
empire, but because of her treaty with

The Cause of Hard Times.

with both white and cOlOred labOrers,
writes to the National Temperance
Advocate at would be n grand move

plOy as a contractor, his custom was to

says: "On Monday | would find my
gang about twenty-five per cent. short
from the effects of their drunken rev.
elry. On Tuesday morning they would
be on hand, but unfit for business.
Some would do half days work, some
three quarters, and all would work at
a disadvantage" Finally he decided
to change the pay day from Saturday
to Tuesday, and to require all his men
to abstain during working hours from
drinking Intoxicating beverages and
also from smoking. A few laborers
were dissatisfied and left, but after

ployed, and subsequently united in

VermOnters as Foreign Minis
t0rS

A Vermont correspondent of the BOs-
ton Journal writes, '"The selection of a
VermOnter to represent the United
States at the Court of st. James is
especially notable in view of the fact
that five of the most important foreign
missions have been filled by natives of
the State within the past decade. The
Italian, Russian, Austrian, French and
German missions are those which have
been occupied by VermOnters during
the Republican Administrations. Hon.
Geo. p. Marsh of Burlington was for a
score of years Minister PlenipOtentiary
to Italy. He was appointed in 1861
and held the position until his death, a
few years ago. Hon. Edwin w. Slough
ton was appointed Minister to Russia
by President Hayes and remained at
st. Petersburg until he fell victim to
the rigorous climate. Mr.. StOughtOn
was born in Weathersfield, and was
wont to spend the summer season at
his home in Windsor. Hon. John A.
KassOn was native of Vermont, and
at one time practiced law in Burling-
ton. He was Minister to Austria for
quite a number of years, residing in
