The Massacre Of Ct. Bartholomew.

To THE EDIToH OF TIM SUN--.Sir: In
THE SUN of to-day Father STANLEY says In
re ply to Prof Goodwin Smith:
The Tc Deum. the medal or the Grafton do not
prove that Rome was associated with the mas.
saore OF ST. bartholomew.
One of those medals lies before me. On
one side read "GreRorlvs Kill Pont. Max.
An. j." and within the name of the Pope is
his head.
On the other side ia an angel with sword
and fallen before him a number OF persons
slau entered. Around this design ia the
inscription 'vgonotorvm Stragis. 1872"
which translated means: Slaughter OF the
Huguenots 1872"
Father Stanley SAYS that Gregory pro-
claimed jubilee and had medal struck.
The medal seems to prove that Rome was
associated with the massacre OF st. Bartholo-

Con. Jone. on Election Reform.


Several months ago the legislative
committee OF the Utica Chamber Of Com
merce made a report to that body ur-
Ging numerous changes In the laws under
which primary elections are conducted
in this State. The chamber, favorably i'm
pressed with the conclusions Of It's COM
mittee,. published the report and sub
mitted 1t in the form Of circular to
number Of prominent residents Of the
State, requesting their cooperation in an
effort to have the suggestions embodied
in statute. Among those whose as
sistanoe was asked was Gen. EDWARD
FRANC JoNEs-"He Pays the Freight
ex-Leutenant- Governor Of New York,
ex-member Of the Massachusetts Log
islature, the man who commanded the
Sixth Massachusetts, Volunteers on their
trip to Washington In 1861.
Gen. JONES is too old and too wise
to expect the world, or even q small
corner Of it. to be reformed by legisla-
ton. However, he replied to the Cham
Der Of Commerce politely, declaring that
while he did not believe the millennium
to be close at hand he was willing to do
what he could to hasten it's coming.
Personally, Gen. JONES said that he
thought "a large majority Of profess
sional politicians do not desire an honest
expression Of the will OF the people,.
On his own account he had plan for
the publication of politics, which he
outlined in these words:
Although not within the province OF your ques-
tion. permit mo to express view In relation TO our

-Our nrst election under tho provisions might
possibly seem like failure. but prisons over.
flowing With perjurers brought there by the liberal
reward offered for evidence would be an effective
warning, and illegal voting would be practically
done away with"
Gen. JONES is in his seventy-eighth
year His life has been an active one,
and during his career as business man,
manufacturer, soldier, politician and
author he has seen many things. His
estimate of the number of perjurers and
informers in New York is not likely to
puff with pride the breast OF any son
Of the Empire State, but Gen. JONES is
probably willing to defend It against
denials. His plan has the merits Of SIM
plicity and directness, and, II for no
other reason, is interesting as the settled
opinion of man whose experience en-
titles him to an attentive audience when
he speaks on public questions.
