POLICE CoURT.-lfer u.s. J. j. Rr0ey.-Iu this case
which was prosecution for selling spirits without
license on Sunday the 4th inst, and which has
been under the Magistrates consideration for some
days, decision was rendered yesterday morning
The whole testimony adduced was read and com
mented on, Including that of William Merwin who
admitted on cross examination that he had told
some of the police officers what had occurred at the
8fpondeui's house on the Sunday evening, when the
selling complained of had taken place. aud who ad
mitted that he expected some recompeuse for bis
services although he bad reluquished his legal right
TO a share Of any penalty which might be imposed


The Court remarked that this witness had been
subject to a searching cross examination by the re-
spondents counsel in which the witness statedtha
he had formerly been detective for 21S years in
Melbourne, and was lately in the employment of
this Government Custom House guard on board
the Castehow but that counsel hadfailed to elicit
anything in his antecedents or conduct to warrant
the Court in discrediiing his testimony seeing that il
was confirmed and corroborated by both the other
witnesses in nearly all the material facts of the case
and which evidence taken together and carefully
considered had satisfied the Court that the charge
against the prisoner sufficiently established
and that from the developments which had taken
place in that court there could be little doubt that
the respondent had Systematically carried on the
business commonly known as sly grog selling-one
of the most mischievous traffes in every eommun-
iy, and the suppression of which is certainly the
bounden duty Of the Police force Of this Govern
ment; more especially as the large sum of $1,000 has
been fixed by the Legislature as the price Of Lii
cense TO legalse the sale OF Spirits by retail-aud
that those licensed retailers who contribute so
largely to the revenue Of the country and who are
debarred from selling spirits to the native popula-


ton Of this and other kindred groups Of fIslands and
also TO anybody on Sundays, are well deserving of
protection against Sly Grog Sellers, who sell to
whom and when they please, in utter disregard of
all law and in derogation offs right so dearly paid
for That those who embark in such illicit traffic
do so with their eyes open and are fully aware of
the consequences OF being discovered and prosecu-
ted, and are therefore no objects of sympathy


The'Respondeut was then sentenced to pay the
Penalty Of $780, being the amount imposed by the
ststufe without any discretion or power of mifiga-
tion in the Courts, with the costs of prosecutions
but declined to add any of the Discretionary term of
imprisonment in this the first conviction against the

Tho War stratexy--A Diversion In Favor


Of Paris.


The military situation In France at present
is by no means unpromising for the ultimate
triumph of the republican forces, who have
SO well waged the war in which the empire
failed. General Faidherbes defeat near
Noyon could not have been very disastrous in
its consequences, and his withdrawal toward
Lille seems to have been made rather in order
to avoid the fanking movement which the
Prussian force in the neghborhood Of Laon was
evidently making than to escape any more d.
reet consequences Of another attack from his
enemy in front. Manteuffel was very slow to
follow him up to Albert. We do not hear that
the German commander has engaged him
again at that place. and be probably will not
until he makes junction with the cO-sperat-
ing forces at Laon, who were evidently NOV
ing to cut Faidherbe off from Lisle.


Loire, at lie Mans, and Bourbaki, with the
other wing of it, at Bourge, have both displayed
good generalship and have practised upon the
Germans the fine tactics which heretsfore the
Germans have been practising upon them.
They have learned war from their enemies
The strategic Won Moltks must invent some
new movements in the game, for his old ones
by which he separated Bazaine and MacMahon,
drove Bazaine into the trap at Metz and
brought about Sedan, have become familiar
IL kho h,n nIu nF T.; IL
General Bourbaki is now said to be moving
toward the eastern portion of France to
operate against General Won Werder, and we
may yet hear Of the sudden appearance
of an immense force, making startling diver
sion in favor Of beleaguered Paris by attacking
the line of railroad between Chalons and Nancy,
which now feeds the German army about
Paris. The garrisons along this road were
recently weakened by the withdrawal oftroops
to operate against General Faidherbe and as
large bodies Of troops were soon afterwards
sent from Versailles to supply their places
again we may conclude that Won Moltke has a
lively sense of danger in that direction. The
neighborhood of Paris is eaten out, and the
stubborn occupation of the railroad at any
point by the French forces would
have the same effect upon King Williams
troops that the seizure of the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad for few days or q
week by the rebels would have had upon the
army of Sherman at Atlanta. This line of
railway must be covered, and even if it is not
seized by Bourbaki determined movement in
that direction with a large force will call for
heavy reduction of the force investing Paris
We may yet hear Of some such diversion as
this on the part of Bourbaki. 1t is at present
the best card in his hand for it means fight
ing-not the devil with fire exactly, but
starvation with starvation.

The Ninety -fOurh session of the Legislature
of New York commences in Albany on Tues
day next, January 3,ls7I.


The democratic maglates have already held
their preliminary caucln in Albany and the
slate has been made up h regard to the prin-
cipal officers of the House, the Senate officials
remaining as before. The following is a list Of
the officers of the House as agreed upon in
preliminary caucus, the main Joints of which
we have already given in the HRRALD:-
Speaker, Hitchman; Clerk, Armstiong. Heads
of committees as surmised Ways aad Means,
Jacobs; Cities, Frear; Judiciary, Fields;
Railroads, Nelson. The minor offices of the
House will be filed as circumstances aid the
necessities Of the disappointed may require.
But the impression is that there will be no dir
appointments, and that the machinery has been
so well arranged that the working Of the
Ninety fourth session of our Legislature will
not only be as harmonious as that Of the
Ninety third, but that it will be still more So,
many disturbing elements having been re-
moved.


Now what has the Legislature that convenes
on Tuesday next to do9 The principal point,
in our judgment, will be to see that it does
not undo that which the last Legislature did.
The last was pretty fair Legislature after it
had been hammered down to Its hash upon our
new City Charter, and the rough and tumble
democracy were made to understand the folly
of undertaking a great political movement
with Liliputian engineers. All national topics
being temporarily out of the way, the public
will await with anxiety to see what the in
coming Legislature will present for the pur-
pose of lessening our tremendous city tax
burdens, to give an impetus to city improve
ments already inaugurated, and to see what
can be done in the way of facilitating local
transportation. 1t is evident that some radical
steps must be taken in the latter matter, even
if it require an amendment to the City Charter
and the organization of new city depart
ment, to be called If it should be so deter
mined, ''The Department Of Conveyance and
transportation, to effect tho object. That
something should be done in this matter
is of paramount Importance, and if merely.
an initiatory st ep in this direction be taken
in the ensuing Legislature great point will
be gained and the Legislature saved from.
perpetual sieges by interested parties on the
subject of underground, arcade, surface, ele-
waited and other specious projects in regard to
local transportation in the metropolis.
In the meantime the well wishers of the
present form of city government will, as we
said at first, do well to watch that nothing that
has been done which does well shall be undone
by ''unfriendly legislation.

Anxious TO ray the AlaDama Ciaipuss


1t is said England is anxious to settle the
Alabama claims difficulty, that she is heartily
tired of the controversy, and is ready to pay
any impartial money award if an adjustment
can be confined to that" This is quite natu-
raj, first, because such an unsettled difficulty
with this country assumes more serious
character to England the longer it remains,
and next because the mere money award Of
twelve millions of dollars OF so is bagatelle
to such rich nation. But this sum would
cover but small part of the loss this country
sustained through the Alabama. If England
admits the obligation to pay the amount
claimed by the insurance companies and ship
owners for their losses, is not something due
to the country for the greater loss OF its ship.

An OPP SORT OF WHITE MANS PARTw.--A
call has been issued in Texas for the formation
of s'white mans party, in which, with sin
Eular modesty, the colored people are invited

The lion complained Of this want of sociability,

to visit his lionshp and approached his cave

that the footprints of the animals that preceded
him all went one way-that is, toward the
cave. but none could be found coming back.
Not being desirous Of serving as a meal for his
majesty he had declined proceeding further.

Following appropriately upon the interview
held by our correspondent with the distin-
guished Bishop Of Orleans, and pub
lished in the HERALD Of yesterday, we
give this morning an interesting sketch
of the life and career of this French pre-
late. Monsigneur Dupanloup, it will be seen,
is not only influential as Catholic clergyman,
but he is also possessed of considerable
power in politics. Hence his opinions are of
value and Importance at the present moment.
His contemptuous language when speaking Of
Gambetta and the other republican Ministers,
and his avowed hostility to the republic, which
he holds to be one merely in name, are indica-
tions which point to an exercise Of his influence
in favor Of return to monarchcal form of
government. Excepting the Archbishop of
Paris, Bishop Dupanloup is undoubtedly the
most distinguished of living French prelates.
If he SO liberal in his religious views and so
patriotic citizen Of France, sees but little
hope in the future against the Prussian arms
and no hope whatever from the ''bloodthirsty
democrats" who are ruling the country,


what must be the views Of his more ultramon-
tame colleagues? But whatever they may be


we do not propose to consider them. We shall
merely refer to the sketch Of Monsigneur Du-
panloup as enabling the reader to become
! familiar with his antecedents and his
| character

That famous fifty thousand dollar gift enter
prise is likely to bring mischief upon its
founder. 1t seems that small army of clerks
is to be employed in distributing the charity,
with the distinct understanding that two ar
ticles are to be strictly excluded from the
catalogue of commodities to be dispensed-to
wit, rum and money. Mr.. Tweed knows very
well how it would be with himself if any one
were to attempt to deprive him, or his blazing
coadjutors of the Blossom Club, or his jocund
guests at his annual chow-chow at Indian
Cove, of his or their square allowance of
champagne and whiskey. There would be q
revolt at once, or a fierce rebellion that would
knock the famous ''Battle Of the Kegs" into a
cock-tailed hat. What would Tweed's hospi-
tality or the hospitality Of any other man be
without spirits? Flat, stale and Improbable.
Therefore for Mr.. Tweed to attempt to deprive
his constituency, or any part of them, of their
regular ''tods," both by declaring whiskey
contraband and the cash wherewith to buy it
non-comeatable, is adding insult to injury.
There is danger that it will lead to revolution
in the Seventh ward. Is it not direct impu-
tation upon the sobriety of the poor and honest
people of the ward-Mr. Tweeds own wor-
shippers and whilom boon companions? Some
men can stand all sorts Of calumny except being
accused of not being able to hold their liquor.
This charge they will rebel against TO the last
drop. Therefore Mr.. Tweed must take care
that his vaunted charity does not become the
means of causing the tables to be turned on
him, and instead Of his being hailed as the
Grandfather of his ward he will become merely
one of the b'hoys.


And there is another danger that menaoes
Mr. Tweed. Is it not possible that ring may
be formed among the battalion Of clerks who
are to distribute this charity, whiskey and
cash excepted, that may hereafter give no little
bother to the great Master Of the Ring himself?


Now how much better it would have been
for Mr. Tweed to have followed in the foot
steps of his illustrious predecessor, Sheriff
O'Brien who has made practice for several
years of giving thousands Of tons of coal to
the poor of his ward and made no fuss or pa
rads about it. Mr.. Tweed has carried out
the SherifFs charity ideas excepting in the
matter of modesty. Here his footsteps be-
come bewildered. Here he is faulty. Here
he puts down the brakes. and the once dashing,
60 ahead ''Big Six" founders along like por-
poise on sand bar. Seriously, we fear Mr..
Tweed must be on the alert or he will find that
this fifty Thousand dollar donation will be the
means Of turning the tables on him just as
certain ffty-two thousand dollar transaction
was the means of turning the tables on once
valiant editor in this city.
