yJsIyFORM1TIOY FROM NEW. YORK.

Mr.. Fitch Of this city, made bright and
plausible speech on the Democratic side in the
tariff debate, which gives immense satisfaction
TO Southern free-traders. Doubtless he thought
It would give satisfaction to his constituents,
and il remains to be seen whether he was in err
ror. One thing is in his favor; every phase Of
nopular ignorance on the tariff question Mr..
Fitch represented in a sprightly and taking
IN. which may be expected to commend his
mistaken ideas to people who never 60 below
the surface in their thinking on such a CUES
ton. 1t is unhappily true that the number of
such voters is large; otherwise there would be
M Democratic party in Northern States. But
there are more people than Mr.. Fitch supposes
who know that they are not taxed, as he as

the grocery store, on coal, cooking utensils

TO learn than many Of his constituents. These
articles are exported in such vast quantities
that every voter ought to know they are cheaper
here than in other countries from which, if at
all they would have to be imported. They are
not higher here than elsewhere but lower, so
that his constituents cannot be said to pay any
tax on them in that sense. They are not higher
now than they were under the latest Demo
cratic revenue tariff, but great deal lower, so
that his constituents cannot oe said TO pay any
tax In that sense. II Mr.. Fitch does not wish
to be condemned by the common sense of a

which attention was called by THE TRIBUNE
yesterday, have not been without effect. The
Senate Committee on Commerce has increased
this item from 50 1000 to $4,000. That is
none too much for the improvement OF a
channel of considerable importance to the com

of the country.

The so-caIled baseball Giants are sadly be-
lying their name. Their friends in this city
have watched the contests in which the club
has taken part with good deal Of interest,
beautifully mingled with grief. Two weeks
ago THE TRIBUNE said that the nine might
win half the games played on the present tour
Unless the players do better work than they
have been doing, they will not win even that
proportion. They have only five more games
to play while away from New-York this time,
and if they do not speedily improve, their
welcome home will not be joyful.
There is no encouragement for persons con-
yicted under the Crimes Act in Ireland to
appeal to the higher courts in the hope that
their cases may meet with favorable review
Sentences have been increased on appeal IN
several instances, and the first appeal from
the harsh judgment has been unsuccessful. In
the case of Father McFadden, whose original
sentence was for three months, it is held that
the doubling Of the sentence was legitimate.
A law which authorizes such severity would
seem to be more honored in the breach than
in the observance.
honored itself last evening by honoring
Senator ingalls, with a reception. The Kansas
Senator is the target for Democratic shafts at
present and it Il therefore a good time for
his party friends to express their loyalty and
devotion to him. Such expression carries with
il a deserved rebuke to all who have sneered
nj Mr.. Ingalls's defence of Union soldiers and
Grand Army boys and his spirited and mercess
lashing Of copperheads and rebels.
One important point was settled by the
Methodist Conference yesterday, namely, that
there shall be five new Bishops elected. This
Il significant in view Of the recommendation
~ the present Bishops that their number be
increased by four. Now that the number to
ne chosen is definitely fixed, and it has been
decided that two-tbirds vote shall be neccs-
sary TO elect, the interest in the struggle that
is to begin on Tuesday will be redoubled

The recent decision Of the United States Supreme
Court involving the question Of trial by jury for
crime, which has been construed to mean that the
Police Court OF this District has not the power to
punish for petty crime, places the District courts
In position OF embarrassment from which, as 1t
seems TO the writer, Congress might grant relief
by the enactment OF law reducing the degree Of
the OnenSeS which SO commonly go before that
court, from crimes TO misdemeanOrs. This would
avoid the constitutional objection raised, would
not change puntshments now prescribed, and
would enable the Police Court to proceed SUMMARY
ly as heretofore in small cases. such measure
would require put little OF the time Of
ably be made available at the present session.
Any good lawyer could make draft Of such law
in a few minutes. Last year over four thousand
cases were summary disposed OF by the Police
Court. That no such number OF cases can be tried
before one court by jury on indictment is obvi-
ment in every case or petty crime, such as small
thefts and breaches OF the peace, In the expense

judicial construction which the decision of the
supreme Court has received by the honorable
judge OF the supreme Court makes II imperatively
necessary tnat some measure or relief be
the writer thinks the construction given to
the decision is unwarrantably narrow.
An examination or the decision shows that the
Supreme Court-whlle carefully guarding the con-
sttutional right OF trial by jury, and while recog-
nizing that right as one OF the guarantees OF mag
ma cdTtd so cherished by the English fathers-alSo
recognizes the jurisdiction OF the inferior courts
the justices OF the peace OF this country and OF
England, to punish summarily Tor petty crimes or
mSdemeanOrs Such practice In the Justices
courts Of England--where they ever were as sensi-
bic OF the rghJs secured to them by their charter
OF liberties" as we are OF ourS-has always pre-
vailed, and 1t prevails IN many OF our states to-
day, whose constitutions are similar to the Federal
constitution in this respect. The case which was
before the supreme Court was not one OF q petty
nature, but was charge of conspiracy, a crime
OF greater degree, and the decision was probably
not intended TO apply TO cases Of a minor charac-
III however further lnufglafinn q arv
In the matter, the above is suggested as a short
and practicable method OF reaching the desired
end. Upon Congress is deyolved the duty OF es-
tablishing the necessary tribunals and by article
l. section g. U. s. Constitution, Congress is to sex.
ercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever
over" this District Surely Congress has the right
TO declare what shall be regarded as a misde-
meanor and be punished as SUCH as distinguished
from crimes mentioned in the Constitution.
