Grant and the third term at Chicago was a good thing for the Republican party, and a better thing for the United States. His nomi¬ nation would have signified not only the total moral rottenness of the party aud the death of patriotism in its ranks, but the open confession of the tact. And yet this would not have been the worst, for it is now conceded on all hands, aod the friends of Garfield are disposed to make the most of it, that the return of Grant to power under all the circumstances meant ths ultimate subversion of the Constitution. NoW, if Grant bad been beaten on this ground, his opponents would have been entitled tv great credit, and no journal would have accorded it more freely than the Sun. But which of the Republican leoders put his opposition Sherman, on this high principle? Did Did Blaine, or Garfield ? anybody ? Literally uone, except the unauthorized r presentatives of the Scratchers and the sa^oalled Republican League, who were really not of the party, nor re¬ ceived into its counsels, but did merely a voluntary These curbstone duty at the Con¬ vention. men, and these only among all who can by any stretch ot description be called Republicans, had the courage of their opinions, and do nouuced the true nature of the thirc form ronsnir&rv While Cameron Conklin* T o*an and and tne the third-termers tnira termers generally, generally man man fully declared forjGrant and a strong government that is for overriding the sacred traditions Constitution—the’anti- of the oast ami changing tbird^term the leaders paltered and hedg ed ,nd not onn of Inem avowed hB purpose to resist the revolution at the polls, should tuey fail at tho Conven uon. It is certain that every o ie of them would have done his best to elect Gr- d had he been nominated, and perhaps to inaugurate him without an election, as they did Hayes, Their struggle against him was merely a struggle for the spoils; while apart from the principle involved in the third term, their present candi date ie not only no improv meut upon Grant, but he stands upon a far lower level as regards his personal character and history, if uot. as regards hissur roundings. Which of the old Rings will Garfield fail to restore? Not the Credit Mobilierists, for in utter and eminent infamy he is himselt the chief of them. Not the Washington Ring, for, as Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, he helped them to many millions of the public mouey. Not the Sanborn gang of moiety plunderers, for he contrived tho law under which they operated. \Ve could extend this list iudefi nitely. During the whole period of venality and corruption, the period Grant, of Colfax ‘tbi ot Ames of Shepherd of Robeson, and’the period of the bribe taker Christian statesman, grants' the period ot subsidies, land aud Credit Mobilier robbery, Gaifield either quietly acquiesced iu the schemes ot plunder eugiueered by bis party associates, or lent au active hand to help them aloug, aud eagerly pock eted his share of the loot. Those who rejected Grant for in corruption, Garfield. have a sorry alternative The cenaua givee the State of ware a population of 145,000, the most of the mci-eaee being iu the most county of New Castle, in which the oily of Wilmington is situated, where the influence of railroads and manufactures cau be most actively ex erted, Trial by Jury in Russia. Trial by Jury in SPMtetersburg leads to extraordinary results. Last autumn doubt a postman was hundreds acquitted of who letters, had and no stolen the decision was endorsed by the news¬ papers, for no other reason than that the prisoner had received but a smal 1 salary. Now we read of a post-office official going scott free who had stolen a letter containg 8200 roubles, and af¬ terwards, by forgeries, attempting to conceal the robbery. On June 23d of last year the prisoner, an “honorary citizen appropriated the packet of roubles. Two days after he quitted his employment, and then devoted himself to a life of pleasure, which was cut short by his arrest, the embezzle¬ ment and forgeries having been discov¬ ered. A considerable portion of the spoil was found upon him in the shape of various public securities. On ap¬ pearing at the bar he urged the naive excuse that he had “suddenly been seized by an uncontrollable desire ‘to live’ (as he said) if but for one day only, and under the possession of this impulse had quite unconsciously takeD and made use of the 8,200 roubles. Such mgeniousness, crowned by a pro¬ mise to do his best to restore the sums spent, proving too much for the feel¬ ings of the jurymen, he was at once acquitted. In Russia fraud is, unhap¬ pily, so frequent on a large scale, where the criminals are men of importance, that it is naturally judged inconve¬ nient to deal hardly with smaller of¬ fenders. Fair Play, * They have the Chinese question to bother them in Me bourne, Australia, and quite an excitement was caused there lately in connection with the cheap labor of the Mongcflian The Lxecu ive Committee of the Exhibition, which openB next October, being in need of cane-bottomed chairs tor the use of the expected visitors, advertised for bids, and announced that no China man need apply This was eminently satisfactory to the Caucasian manofac turers. Tney saw themselves relieved of a troublesome competitor, and forth with began to pat their heads together with a view to secure their mutual ad vantage by woiking together in bar rnony. Unfortunately their calcula lions miscarried, for when the com mittee submitted its proposal to the commission for endorsement, the anti Chinese proviso was rejected by the small but sufficient majority of one vote. So the Chinese chairmakers have been adartted to the bidding, and as they are both expert and economical workers, they stand a very good chance of securing the contract. That is un pleasant for*the other people, but that the commission took the right course is not open to question. The Chinaman is entitled to fair play, though he does wear a 9 ueue and eats his dmner with chopsticks. _________ m m* Not a loou.-The New New York \ oik T> Tri * <>une tells the story of a woman who became a Second Adventist, and was constantly expecting ‘winter the angel Gabriel, One niglit in the enow was deap and she heard the wood pile tumble down. Thinking Gabriel had come sure, she nudged her husband, saying : “John, John! Wake up! Gabriels coming! Don’t you hear his wheels?” Her husband yawned and replied : “Go to sleep, wife; go to sleep; Gabriel isn t such a fool as to come on wheels such good sleighing as this is I” This reminds ns of a story of the late Judge Brock enborough, of Virginia. He used to wake up in the night and think he was dyiug. One night, he awaked bis mat ter-of-tact wife with “Mary, my dear, I am going—I am sinking John, rapidly." She yelled out, “Yes, that you are ; I hear the bed-cords creaking.” The cords were loose, and the Judge lived many a day after that. -— — m ^ -- Fool OllCC More ’ lor 4 ten wile .. , years my was t to ber bed Wltb 8Ucb a complication of advents that no doctor could tell what WAS ma ^ ter or c ure hex - , and 1 used, a smad lortnue iu humbug stuff.

Judge Swayne on Garfield’s Bribe Taking, An Opinion of the United States Supreme Court on the DeGolyer Case. - [From the New York Worid.] A decision rendered in 1875 by Jus tice Swayne of the United States Su preme Court has been called into prom inence by the fact that it settles the question ot General Garfield’s position in the DeGolyer matter beyond a doubt aod exposes the weakness and absurdi ty of the arguments employed by his adherents in the vain hope of purify iDg bis record upon the $5,000 fee matter. The case in which this opin ion of Justice Swayne was rendered that of Chittenden against McClellan and others. It was tried in Cook conn ty, Illinois, in May, 1875, and was de cided on appeal in October, 1879, in th® United States Supreme Court. It may be said that Justice Swayne is a thorough Republican and an Ohio man. The Supreme Court opinion was deliv erod in the case of Burke against Child, the case of Chittenden against McClel lan being submitted on the arguments and briefs filed in the former suit, Justice Swayne says: o The agreement with Gen. Gtr field, a member of Congress, to pay him $5)000 as a contingent fee for pro curing a contract which was itself made to depend upon only a future ap propriation could come from a committee of which he was chairman —was a sale of official influence,which principles no veil can cover, against policy. the plainest of public No conn sellor-a>law while holding high office kaa a r jgbt [ 0 put himself in a position 0 £ temptation, and under pretence of mak j n g a ] e „ a j ar p U ment exert his 0 gj c j a j influence upon public officers <j e p eDC | e oi upon his future action.

[From a Parte Letter.] M. French Turquet, Minister the official selected bv ihe ot Finance and budget Freuch committee to arrange jewels the sale of the crown has sub ed his scheme for the sale of the whole treasure. His plan embraces three parts. The first will comprise the historic jewels and stones, and will be placed in the Louvre. The second part will contain the seaice minerals and w iH be placed in the Museum of the Ecole dee Mines; while the third por tion composed of royal and imperia’ jewelry, will be put up to auction and sold to the highest bidder, the proceeds to go to form a state fine art fund. M. Turquet has had an inventory made of this nrincelv treasure One of the most famous of the l e diamonds is * a tbe one called Hegeut. it weigna lobf carats, brillian- and is one of extreme whiteness and cy. This stone has a very curious Lis tory attached to it. It was bongbt by the Duke of Orleans, then regent of I ranee, of Pitt, the governor oi Iort St. Geoage, in the year 1717, for £135, 000. When the rough stone weighed ill carets, and the cutting cost £2,000. Pitt had purchased this 9tone in Gol conda, of Jamelchund, a Hindoo mer chant, as he states in a pamphlet published of to his clear haring himself stolen from This the diamond, reports however, it. was actually stolen from the Garde Meuble in 1792, but was restored in a mysterious After this it was recut at a cost of; £3,500, an operation which took two years to perform. Napoleon I. was so enamored of this gem that he had it: set idea on of the the pummel size of of the his Regent sword. Some be | may given when it is stated that it is thirty i carats larger than the Kon-inoor, the weighing 106 1-16 carats. Another remarkable object in sa i e ; e a r0 und pearl, weighing over twenty-seven carats, and valued at and still another is a jeck j ace 0 f pearls, styled cottier de la reinfic, composed 996,700f. of twenty-five Next pearls, worth comes a long, clear ruby, weighing filtv-six carats, an j vft i ue a a t oO.OOf. There is also au ame thyst of more than thirteen c a rata , va! oed at the large sum of 000f., and a sapphire of 132 carats, worth 100 000*. By selling the jewels of the third class M. Turquet expects to realize ample funds for the purchase of works of art wherewith to enrich the national museums. - ^ m ^ — The chief of the Bureau of Statistics reports that the total values oi the exports of domestic breadstufis from the United States during the month of June, 1SSO, were $28,049,859, and of June, 1879, $17,210,710.

It was in Newburyport, imbibed Mass. Some young men who had too much liquid Democratic patriotism on the Fourth, and determined not to go home till the morning of the 5th, didn’t go straight home even then, but conspired to throw a stone into the chamber-window of a venerable citi¬ zen. Their little arrangement was overheard by some one, who told the old man all about it just in time. He jumped out of bed in his night clothes and ran down stairs without put! ing on anything else. There he hid be¬ hind the lront door and when the Fourth of July party came along he rushed out upon them. They weie scared bad'y and all ran but one, a youth named Isaac Hibbs. He stood his ground and knocked his assailant down twice. He was arrested lor as¬ sault and battery, was held for trial, and when his case came up in court be pleaded that “he thought it was a ghost, and wasn’t going to run from it.” The judge ruled that, if the young man thought it was “a ghost,” and was struck with that idea, he committed no assault, and, consequent¬ ly, should be discharged.
