! THE DoNoHUE MURDER, for 1t will probably
result in murder as Donohne lies apparently
in very precarious condition, was the result
Of political feud which has already brought
about one murder. The man Scanned. who is
charged with the deed, had attempted to
kill Donohue once before, when Donohue
was acquitted Of the murder of his brother
Florence. For this attempt he was merely
put under bonds to keep the peace, when he
should have been tried for an assault and COM
mitted until his desire for vengeance on an
Innocent man had cooled. AS it is, political

bread, and starves without it but it
starves and gives no outward per

This gentleman will long be remembered
for his quickness and pungency at repartee.
He had been elected United States Senator
by the Wings, but before the expiration of his
term of office the opposite party came into
power and the legis lature passed a resolution
requesting him TO resign. He did not see fit
to do so, but wrote trenchant letter in re-
ply, knowing very well that he could not be
reelected. 1t was during the last term of
President Jackson's administration.


= A serious feud had for sometime existed be-
tween MIR. Webster, at that time Senator from
Massachusetts, and Mr.. POindexter, a SEN
ator from South Carolina. To such an
extent had it gone that the usual courteses
of social life were suspended. They were not
on speaking terms. The last hour of the ses-
sion had arrived. Many of the members
were to take final leave of each other. At
the proper moment Mr.. Clay arose in his
place, and in manner of peculiar delicacy
referring to the unfortunate relations in which
the two distinguished Senators stood to each
other; expressed the conviction, which he en-
tertained in common with the friends of both
gentlemen, that the difficulty had arisen from
a misunderstanding without intentional
wrong on either side. This brought up Mr..
Webster, who thanked the Honorable Sena-
tor from Kentucky for the kind manner in
which he had spoken of himself in connection
with the matter to which he had referred.
He fully agreed with him in the opinion he
had expressed, that the difficulty had arisen
entirely from misunderstanding; certainly
it had never been his intention to wrong the
Senator from South Carolina. Mr.. Poindex-
ter next arose, and after few words of ex-
PLANTATION, it was clear that there was no rea-
son why the two gentlemen should not be
friends. Simultaneously they left their seats,
which were on opposite sides of the chamber,
and meeting in the area in front OF the clerks
desk, took each other by the hand. All were
taken by surprise. 1t was spectacle the
Senate, perhaps the world, had never seen be-
fore. Here were two of the strongest and
most respected men of the Senate, and of the
nation, just before regarded as implacable en-
emies, now reconciled, grasping each other by
the light hand, with streaming eyes, and from
the depth of feeling unable to speak. The
whole Senate was in tears. The silence be-
came painful, and to mere spectator it would
have been serious question how the parties
were to get cut of it. Just then Holmes with
his ready wit, came to the rescue. Stepping
up behind Mr.. Clay and patting him on the
shoulder he exclaimed 80 Harry, Harry!
You are a glorious fellow. You are great on
settling quarrels. I never saw your like

Either the strength Of the French Army Of
the Loire has been greatly exaggerated or the
material of which it is composed is or was
1--WE are uncertain If 1t still exisis)
very poor. In the battle Of Beaune-
la.Rolande 1t is reported to have been
completely defeated, and yet its total
losses are set down by King William at
not more than sixty-six hundred men in
killed, wounded and prisoners. The battle
could not have been very sanguinary affair
If the loss was no greater. De Paladines was
said to have under his command nearly quar-
ter of million of men; but If his force did not
exceed one half that number his
casualties would have been greater
had the French fought with their traditional
heroism. We are inclined to believe that his
men were badly disciplined, disheartened, and
consequently demoralized, and that they
fought badly. This belief is strengthened by
the disproportion Of losses sustained by the
Germans-set down at one thousand by
the King OF Prussia. Our latest dispatches
mention rumor that the Army Of the Loire
has surrendered; but the story is doubtless
false. De Paladines rear was unobstfucted,


and he certainly would not capitulate while he
had safe line Of retreat to Anglers and Nantes.

CRIME AND It's PENALTY.-The records of
the Court of General Sessions, which has just
closed its present term, show how vigorously
law can grapple with crime when it comes
within the jurisdiction Of the courts. The
accounts Of the closing session, which we
publish to-day, are replete with evidence that
Justice has been ably vindicated. The penalty
which properly awaits the commission Of gross
offences against the law and the peace of
society has been meted out-without straining
the quality Of mercy-by the City Judge to
notorious rufHans whose absence from the
community for some years to come, while
placed In the safe keeping Of the State Prison
officials, will not be regretted. The result Of
this term Of the General Sessions Is therefore
matter of general satisfaction to the public.

1t is almost hoping against hope to look for
ward and expect any thing but disaster for the
French arms. Beaten at Amiens, repulsed
at Paris, driven back at Beaune- la -Rolande,
we cannot see what the armies Of France
expect to accomplish by q continuation Of tho
struggle with the Germans. From the battle
of Saarbruck to the operations at Amiens.
Paris and Beaune, within the last few
days, the progress Of the Germans has ap-
peared more like triumphal march than the
hostile Invasion Of a country whose people
were the boasted warriors Of Europe. Every
telegram which flashes across the cable from
France Is but another confirmation of French
defeats. A despatch from King William to
the Queen announces the victory OF Prince
Frederick Charles over the Army Of the
Loire. In this battle General Paiadines
was wounded. It Il but justice to
the stricken soldier to admit that he has
done well by his country since he was
appointed TO the important command which
for brief time cheered the dropping spirits of
the French nation by temporary success.
But the hope which that apparent advantage
called into existence must now fade away into
the gloom which the recent disasters cast over
the Army Of the Loire. The end approaches,
the tragedy draws to close, and the fall of
the curtain on the last sad act cannot now be
much longer delayed.

Her Majesty the Queen Of England paid
visit to the ex-Empress of France yesterday.
1t was not mere state ceremonial compliment
of form, after the Buckingham Palace style,
but downright womanly, friendly mission of
comfort and mayhap of consolation.


The Queen remained at Chiselhurst full
three hours Now, any two women in the
world, no matter how uneducated they may
be, can talk an immense deal Of matter in
the space Of three hours, and if the CONVEX
sation which took place between the two royal
ladies yesterday could only be given to the
world 0er60tim it would form one OF the most
important dialogues which has ever been pub

no doubt, in repairing the balance of the
