Is there any connection between the removal
of Alfred C. Chapin from Brooklyn to New-York
and the enforced resignation OF William c. Hud'
son as Secretary Of the State Railroad Commits
sion? Hudson is understood to have been backed
by Boss Mclaughlin all the time he has held
this office and not long ago. through McLaugh-
Inns influence, his salary was handsomely In

between him and Mclaughlin, one Of its effects
may be the decline and fall of McLaughlin's in

It Is a high and most unusual compliment
which has been paid to DR.. Abraham Jacobi OF
this city, in the invitation which lately came
to him ia assume a chair in he University OF
Berlin. While appreciating the compliment
New-Yorsers cannot but rejoice that DR.. jacob
promptly declined it. He has become so mucn
attached to New-York and to this country that
he feels his home to be here and nothing APP
parently would induce him to make so radical
a change as was proposed. He has lived here
almost forty years and has been an important
factor in the community. We are glad that
his eminent position in his profession has re-
ceived this distinguished recognition. and glad
that Dr. jacob Is to remain enc OF our fellow
citizens; and we are sure that this opinion VIII
be shared by all who know him either person
ally by reputation.
The health bringing frosts have come to

for help.
The detention in the city and in durance OF
important witnesses in important cases is some
tin,es n necessity albeit An unfortunate one. To
keen them in the House Of Detention for several
weeks sometimes even for months, Is an outrage
that ought not to be permitted The Grand
Jury recommends that cases in which witnesses
are detained should shave precedence In the
courts and points out that when such WIT
ness (who has committed no crime) Is the head
of a family dependent on him for support the
resulting misery may be very great. This Is
undoubtedly the case The detention Of wit
nesscs has a seriously evil side, and all the
officers Of justice should strive to reduce the
evil as much as possible.
The Brooklyn Bridge manag agement has always
been clumsy stupid and bungling. President
Howell has displayed neither capacity nor public
spirit His system Of collecting rents through
an irresponsible outsider. who kept no proper
system Of books, and who retained the rent re-
ceipts for his own as long as he cared to
hold them back. was reprehensbe that Mr..
Howell ought to be removed from Office
promptly. The Bridge. as now mismanaged, Is
a botch both on New-York and Brooklyn.
For the first time since 1870 public expression
has Just been given in the Bavarian Legislature
TO the national sentiments of antipathy to
Prussia and the Cabinet has been admonished
In no measured language TO put stop to It's
subserviency to the "Caesarism without glory
OF the German Emperor. The Administration
is accused OF sacrificing the interests Of Ba-
varia to the greedy appetite of the authorities
at Berlin. especially In connection with the pro-
tected impostS necessary 10 meet the eApeHui-
ture involved by the Army bill enacted by
the Rcchstag last spring-imposts that are des-
tined TO weigh most heavily on the southern
States OF the Empire. One Deputy even went
so far as to remind the Ministers that the Ba-
varians would never consent to become the
"vassals" of Prussia. Additional importance
Is given to these remarks by the fact that they
represent not only the sentiments Of the masses,
but those which notoriousy prevail among the
arfstocracy, and even at court, where Prince
Louis the heir-presumptive to the Crown.
