MARSHAL BAZAINE.
The civilized world—at least outside of
France—will be startled by the announce¬
ment that this tried and gallant soldier
has been found guilty of treason or gross
neglect of duty and sentenced to death!
Such oucuisiueji is the judgment 8 of the court martial, ’
but it would still astonish us to hear that
the death penalty portion of the sentence
is to be carried into execution. The
French rulers know that it would horrify
humanity even where, and would for ages
be regarded as a foul blot upon the history
of their country. The finding of the court
martial was no doubt one of policy rather
than justice. It is one of those instances
in which injustice to an individual is re
garded as a less 1 co nrii evil Hton than ft a fmlnr« failure to to vin- yin
dicate the honor or fame of a nation.
The hope is indulged that the making of
a scape goat of Bazaine will lessen the
humiliation of the overwhelming French
defeat by the superior prowess, discipline
and unity of Germany. To accomplish
this Bazaine must be condemned and de
graded. But we cannot believe that the
French malignity towards him is so great
as to carry out tbe death sentence. We
are rather of the opinion that the same
motive of policy which insisted on con
damnation will have its influence in ar¬
resting the sentence before it is carried to
an extremity that would shock the world.
THE TROY MESSENGER.
The last number of the Troy Messenger
announces a change in the editorial man¬
agement, caused by the inability of Capt.
Bowles to devote sufficient portion of his
time to tbe constant supervision of the ed¬
itorial columns, owing to the demands of
his increasing professional engagements.
Major Lancoy, editorially known as Sid
uey Herbert, will resume the position of
editor-in-chief, with Capt. Bowles as as¬
sociate editor.
Major Laucoy is well and favorably
known to oar readers, by his many con¬
tributions to the columns of the Son. Ho
is a very ready aud agreeable writer aud
a most indefatigable worker in the edi¬
torial harness. The Messenger cannot lie
otherwise but an interesting and readable
paper under liiH management.
Among other improvments, Major L.
has established a “Department of “Pat¬
rons of Husbandry” by the appropriation
of several columns of the Messenger to the
news of that order. It is an attractive
and instructive feature of the paper.
Troy is fortunate iu having so good a
p iper us the Messenger.

Double Assassination. —A most shock¬
ing and horrible assassin at iou took place
about thirteen miles southwest of this
place ou the 24th inst. Mr. H. ,T. Cook
and his cinid about three years of age
were the victims. The fieud who perpe¬
trated the atrocious crane was lying iu
wait near the front door of Mr. Cook’s
residence, aud fired upon him through
the open door, killing the child atandiug
on the threshold of the dwelling uud also
its father sitting near the fire-place. Fif¬
teen buckshot passed through the body of
the inuoceut child, and thirteen through
its father. Mr. Cook was a youug farmer,
with a small family, who was inoffensive
and inobtrnsive in bis mauuera, aud con¬
jecture as to the cause of the diabolical
deed fails to assign a satisfactory reason
for its perpetration. Every effort is being
made to ferret out the perpetrator of the
horrible crime, aud a warrant has been
issued for a party against whom there is
very strong circumstantial evidence.—

A Voice From Liberia. —The Eufaula
News, of Saturday, says a prominent gen¬
tleman of that city received a letter yes¬
terday from Willis Fort, colored, who is
now living in Grand Bassa county, Libe
ria. He writes a most doleful tale of Li
beria. Ho say “We have no horses
here, no buggies nor wagons; no good
cows, and worse still, no money. Hard
times all the time is the way we live. As
far as the bad! government is concerned, it i i
poor and and I would to God I could
get away to-morrow. If I could I would
gladly do so. If any .‘of my w-hite friends
will send for me I will pay them well
it I can’t make any money here at all,
and have lost ail I had when I got here.
Can’t you make up a purse for me to get
back ?’ and I will work hard aud pay it
again if I live, I was a great fool for
coming here at first, and I beg you to
what you can for me. Myself and family
are all well and alive yet.
Why the Herald Wants “Free
—“Slavery in Cuba exists under and
maintained by Spanish authority, lhe
Cuban patriots have abolished it in
constitution and as far as their power
goes. By supporting th? Spanish rule we
rivet the fetters of slaves. By help
ing the patriots, even indirectly through this
recognizing them as belligerents,
remnant of barbarism will be swept
away.
It appears that it was in New Castle,
Delaware, aud not Boston. Mass., that the
people prevented interference with the
whipping of the bank robbers. Our dis¬
pat chea located it at Boston. Hurrah for
little Delaware'.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Speech of Hon. Alexander H. Stephens
on the Salary Bill— He Jnstlfles the In¬
crease—His hast Speech In the Old Con
Kress Favored It—Repeal of the Frank
tug Privilege was Unwise.
Washington, Dec. 11.—The House is on
salary.
Senate.—Carpenter was elected Presi¬
dent pro Urn.
Gordon, of Georgia, introduced a bill
for the free transportation of periodicals,
magaziues and newspapers through the
r „„n H
House.—The survey of a ship canal
between Lake Michigan and the Wabash
river is ordered.
The Elections Committee have been
instructed to examine and report the best
and most practicable method of electing
the President aud Vice President and
provide a tribunal to adjust and decide
all contested questions therewith.
A resolution was passed asking the Post¬
master General the number of men re¬
quired for the postal savings and tele¬
graph when in full operation.
Salary bill resumed. No definite action.
Stephens, of Georgia, was the next
speaker. He got on his feet with some
difficulty and not without assistance.
There be supported himself with a crutch
under his left arm. He spoke with a clear,
ringing voice, which was distinctly audi¬
ble in every portion of the Chamber, ex¬
cept when he dropped his tones, as he did
very frequently at the close of sentences.
His manner was nervous, rapid, and his
remarks very digressive, many of his sen¬
tences being left uncompleted. He was
listened to with the closest interest and
attention by members, officers and audi
eoce. He commenced by saying, be
would examine the question before the
House, first in its moral, aud then in its
political aspect. He spoke of the com¬
ments of the public press ou tbe subject.
He would say nothing derogatory of tbe
p r wer or usefulness of the press, The
position of a journalist in this country was
one of the highest—“the fourth estate'’
did in this age control pnlic sentiment—
but he would in all earnestness say to the
press aud its conductors, that nothing was
more important than that in treating of
subjects with the masses of the people
they should look well to the truth and cor¬
rectness and principle of what they ad
dressed to the people. The press had de¬
nounced as thieves and robbers the mem¬
bers of the last Congress, aud he had seen
>uo paper that represented the raid
on the Treasury as very much like the
charge of the 600 at Balaklava. He
,ad thought the wit of that representa
tnm more appropriate than the wisdom
the gentleman from New York (Tremaine)
hart spoken yesterday of demagogism;
he, (Stephens) maintained that there
could be no statesmanship without, it.
Th ire never had been a statesman who
wh i not a demagogue. The word origi¬
nally meant a leader of the people.
Pericles was a demagogue. There were
two kinds of demagogues—the sham and
the genuine. The genuine demagogue
wai the man who lei the people, who
guided the people; the sham demagogue
pandered to the errors and prejudices of
the people.
The real statesman was the physician
hu anility. The sham demagogue simply
courted favors m order to get office aud
tin spoils of office. He considered Lord
Oh ithuui as the true, the genuine dema¬
gogue, and related an anecdote to tbe ef¬
fect that when Chatham was proposing to
the English Cabinet a new measure of
taxation, including the taxing of widows,
be missed one member of the Cabinet,
uud asked for him by name; the answer
was, that “it made no difference whether
that member was present or not, because
bo was a fool. “That is the very rea¬
son,” said Chatham, “that I want him
here ; because the way he thinks about
iLtis thing is the way that the majority of
the people of England may think about
it, and I want to know the sentiment of
the public.” He wanted to know it not
to pander to it, but that he might go be¬
fore the people and raise them to a senti¬
ment of the necessity and propriety of the
measure.
Recurring to the consideration of the
increased salary bill, Stephens said that
he was very glad to say that that was a
measure for which neither political party
was responsible. His opinion was that
the Democracy, in the proportion of its
votes iu Congress, was quite as responsi¬
ble as the Republican party. The gentle¬
man from New Y'ork (Tremaiu) bad admit¬
ted yesterday, that uuder the Constitution
every Congress had the right to fix its
own compensation; it had done so from
tho beginning of the Government; it had
frequently increased that compensation,
and the inorease was always aud necessa¬
rily retroactive. Worthy men had done
this in the last century, aud in the early
part of the present century the brighest
ornaments in American history had sub¬
jected themselves to be denounced as
salary grabbers aud thieves. The first
rest thing to be learned in this life, that
which had been taught iu the schools of
Ancient Greece, was to discriminate be¬
tween that which the multitude thought
was right, aud that which was right in
itself. If there was anythiug wrong, any¬
thing immoral, anything dishonest, which
would reflect disgrace on a man’s mem¬
ory for taking that legal appropriation,
ho wauted to know where it was. If it
was wrong for members to take what tbe
law allowed, where will men find a rule of
right and wrong. His remarks on this
8ubject J m not apply ; to himself, but he
was 8 c " lzeu of r the cou,Ur -V , ^ , felt , .
» deep interest in the dignity and charae
; ter of Congress. He claimed that when
I Congress passed the retroactive law of
; jhe last session it had a constitutional
„ __ .
j rl " so ’ 8 uo “
whether it was expedient or not, but no
blush should rest on the cheek of any
man, whether he voted forthe bill or not,
who took the money. If he’d been her© he
I should have taken it, whether he voted
for it or not, and should have felt that he
justly entitled .. toil .. as . he was , to
receive a dollar a day. It was a coustitu
tional law, cou&titutiuuaUv t? passed, and
those who were entitled pay under it
were a8 much entitled to the whole of it
^ t p , eJ . were to any dime received , under ,
If onv J thought "ts it was too much and
returned it, he (Stephens) would not cast
a slur upon him for doing 30 .
He had now discussed the moral view
of the question and he would now pro-
ceed to discuss it in its political aspect.
He was not going to place a value on his
own services as a Representative, but if
he were to state what be thought the
services of a Representative ought to be
worth he would go far above the figures
of any law that has ever been passed. A
representative of the people ought to be
a man of that mental calibre, that infor¬
mation, that education, that virtue, that
trustworthiness, and all those qualities
which command the highest remunera¬
tion. He had given it as his opinion in
the last speech he made in the House,
fourteen years ago, that if the salary of
members of Congress were ten thousand
dollars, of Senators fifteen thousand, of
the Chief Justices of the Supreme Court
fifty thousand, of the Associate Judges
twenty-five thousand, and of the Presi¬
dent one hundred thousand, it would be
better for tha country at large; he held
the same opinion still, He certainly
should not vote for the bill reported by
the Committee, but he believed that the
art unwise action of the last Congress
was the abolition of the franking privilege.
At the next executive session the Sen¬
ate Committee on Judiciary will make a
farewell report on the nomination of
H. Williams to be Chief Justice.
It appears from the report of the South
Claims Commission, that the gross
amount of claims filed is sixty millions,
and aggregate amount passed on ten mil¬
lions, there remaining seventeen thousand
claims amounting to fifty millions, to be
adjudicated. The amount claimed in the
w hole number of cases now reported is
$4,718,891, and tbe amount allowed in
settlement of the 1,695 approved claims is
$644,365, an average allowance of $590 to
each claimant.
The indications are that the House of
Representatives will pass a bill fixing the
salary of members of Congress at about
six thousand dollars a year with an allow¬
ance of actual traveling expenses.
