A party newspaper it to its party to recommend that owe which in its judgement will be biest U the party, and to oppose those things tkieh it thinks would harm the party. professing to be infallible, tlie party cewspaperis expected to have convictions, ilea* ol policy, viewH concerning men, tvl at right times and in right ways to givt voice to its views. Itat Mr. McLean has stepped outside of lni newspaper and thrown his personality into the political arena, without improving tho motfl atmosphere of tliat field of strife and without strengthening himself or his ne**paper.

There is one essential difference be t*een Ur. ilalstead and Mr. McLean.

KaUrtalatd?A Itrlef NkMek or llli Ca reer?How bo Con* Iato Ofllce-NorUI ({?aUtlca aad LpRtl Attainment*. New Yobk, August 24.?Lord Coleridge, Gilbert Coleridge, his bob, James Hunter, M. P., and Cnarlea Russell, M. P., were met in the Bay on the arrival of the Celtic this morning by members of the Bar Asso ciation , and trauBfered to a yacht where breakfoet awaited them. After sailing up the East and North rivers the party landed and were driven to the residence of E. T. Shephard, where Lord Coleridge and friends will be guests during their stay in this city. This evening a dinner was given at Mr. Fliephard's, at which General Han cock was present. In Lord Chief Justice Coleridge we Bball welcome the highest functionary who has ever left England to visit America. Next to royalty, there is only one higher, the Lord Chancellor, and he by the terms of tho law cau only leave his post by putting the Great Seal into commission, a trouble some and cxpensivo proceeding, costing some $7,000, and only to be resorted to in caae of urgent necessity. Again, it is an event of the deepest interest to the legal profession here. Lord Coleridge bears a name associated not only with some of the masterpieces of English literature but with the legal his tory of England for the last centuiy. His grandfatiier^Uev. John Coleridge, was a goodly paator and an author of some talent. A kindly but abaent-inlnded man was the Kev. John, who was the father of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the poet, and of the Right Hon. Sir John Coleriuge, the father of the present Lord Ohief-JuBtico. Sir John Taylor Coleridge stands eminent among the judges ef England, though bis own honors havo been transcended by those of his sou. Born in the year 1821, Lord Coleridge had the advantage of an Eton curriculum under his uncle, the Rev. Edward Cole ridge, and in course of time passed on to Oxford University. As an undeigraduate he was distinguished for bis stuifiouaness ami varied scholarship, and as a speaker aud debater at the "Union" debating so ciety he was never surpassed. He obtained aticnolarahip at Balliol Collego after a keen competition with some of his fellow-stu dents and was afterward elected to a fellow ship at Exeter College, graduating as bach elor of arta in 1842 and as master of arts in 1840. Called to the bar at the end of the saiue year, he entered upon his career with every advantage which fortune could bestow upon him. PtfnKNSIC POWER. Upon the Western Circuit, whither Mr, Coleridge went, he soon attained a promi nent position. He was remarkable for his great forensic powers associated with an eloquence far above tho ordinary range of the bar, and he accordingly ran rapidly to the front rank and became the If ader of the Circuit. His rise was then assured, and some nine years after his call to the bar he was appointed Recorder of Portsmouth. In 1801 be was made Queen's Counsel and nominated a Bencher of the Middle Tem ple. Then according to fashion in England, having secured a Parliamentary seat he was made one of the chief Iaw advisers of the Crown and was knighted in the usual course upon obtaining bis preferment. In 1808, upon the formation of Mr. Gladstone's government, he was selected to fill the office of Solicitor-General, and three years later, upon the appointment of Sir Robert Collier to a judgeship in the judicial de partment of (he Privy Council, Sir J. D. Coleridge succeatod him as Attorney-Gen eral. CHIKP JUSTICE COLKlUlXiE*# .l/.'CESSION. Sir William Borill, the Lord Chief Jus tice of the Common Pleas, died prematurely in the plenitude of his powers, and, as At torney .General, Six John Coleridge was entitled by prescription to the inheritance. He had no alternative but to accept the traditionary right thus thrust upon him. The whole bar, the press and the public were unanimous in their opinion as to his fitnees to succeed, and in November, 1873, he waS sworn in aa Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. A year later hu was raised to the peerage of the Uniljd Kingdom; and thus bk father, two years before his death, had the jjatisketion of seeing his son complete a career whioh, at the uni versity, at the bar and on the bench, had beeu but a repetition, only with still higher distinction, of bis own. This circumstance rendered the elevation of the Lord Chief Justice unique,indeed almost unparalleled, in the history of the profession. There is no mort modern instance of the kind than that of Sir Thomaa More, who was Chancel lor while bio ton was a Judge. The JSirl of Camden, son of Chief Justice Pratt, be came Chief-Justice and Lord Chancellor, but not until after his father's death. By iho Judicature Act of 1870 the titles' of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and Chief-Baron of the Exchecquer were to be merged in the title of Lord Chief Justice of England, to which Lord Coleridge suc ceeded in November ol .1880, upon the death of Chief-Baron Fitjroy Kelly speedily followed by thatofLord Chief Justice Cock burn. Lord Coleridge has taken a iesdjng part in some celebrated cubes, notable among Ujese being the Tichborne case, in which Attorney-General Coleridge at tracted great attention to his skill as a crosa-examiner, .and from which he took a large fee out of fce $3,000,000 of coet The English Chief,J nance is known as a Kliihed and graceful speaker of great force, ving tne knack <A gowg *o the heart of a subject and laying it bant He has some fame a controversial writer.

It was much discussed at the hotels, and the opinion is generally ex pressed that a verdict of guilty is out of the question, a hung jury is probable, an acquittal possible. A solid Democratic jury, the youth and associations of lour of the number and tho ex Confederate record of six of the number give, rise to this belief. Last night Dick Liduleand Mrs. Hite arrived. Liddell this morning showed up on the Btreets with two long navy revolvers strapped to this waist. Promptly at 8 o'clock this morning the Court convened. The witnesses being ex cluded' from the Court room, the attend ance was not eo large as yesterday. A number of ladies occupied seats.

He re lated how he and four others, including McMillan, boarded a carat Winston;'how three men came in the car with revol vers in each hand; how McMillan walked up to look through the win dow and all the circumstances of the robbery. On cross-examination he admit ted he couldn't identify any of the three men, as they were masked. Addis Wilcott, engineer of the train, was the second'witness. He related how a couple of musked men jumped on the train and compelled him to obey orders at the muzzle of revolvers. Frank Stamper, baggageman, told his ex perience during the robbery; how lie was pulled from the car by the leg and threat ened with a revolver. Charles Murray, United States Express Agent, related how he was forced to open the safe by two men in masks, armed with revolvers. Two physicians then, testified as to tho nature of the wound causing McMillau's death. This concluded the testimony of tho State in so far as the killing is concerned, and the court then adjourned. DUUf THREATS. The most intense excitement was caused about noon when Judge Irving and Har field Davis, tho two gentlemen who were warned a day or two ago to bo careful in giving testimony against Frank James, each received the following letter: St. Louis, April 23. To Harjitld Davis and Alexander Irving, Gallatin: Gentlemen: Your evidence against Frank James will be w atched by tried and true friends of the hero.

It was bought by a company, and sold to actual Battlers, and is no* be ting a noted place.

MUUIVK Itl'ISH. About a milo from the town of Lompoc are the most massive ruins 1 bavo ever Been. I bave never seen the broken walls of Niuevah and Babylon, bat those of Lorn poc must have some resemblance to them in bulk, U not in architectural symmetry. What I refer to is the wreck of the old Catholic Mission, built generations ago by Jesuit Priests. It was formerly the largest work of tbe kind on the Pacific coast, and there are many of the same kind at Mon terey, San Luis Obispo, Margarita, Jonata, Santa Barbara, and doiens of other places. Ttiese Missions were built by converted Indians, superintended by the Jesuits. They arc partly built of wood, partly of stone, but principally ol adobe, or unburn! brick. Nearly all the Missions are now In ruins, but some are used as churches. Their object was to be the nucleus of colo nics, and as ceutrat points of missionary work among the Indiana I was in a hurry when I was at Lompoc and had not time nor opportunity to collect figures and dates, but, as a guess, I should say til at tbe Lompoc mission covered not less than ten acres of ground. But, this gives a poor idea of tlio work of building it. Its walls are from four to six leet thick. Its roof was tiles, made of clay, worked into shape and hardened in the sun, and the whole bulk could not, under the least esti mate, have weighed less than 10,000 tons. Thla was the loot, not to mention the im mense quantity of hewn timber required to support tbe roof. All this had to be done by manual labor, and very few horses were used to do the heavy hauling. Of the wood work, the doors, floors, ceilings, arches, &u, I have no data from which to estimate. There mnst have been 10,000,000 bricks in the walls, and tbe bricks are large. Then there were vast quantities of carvlngfor the altars, railings, balconies, archetraves, cor ridors, sanctum sanctorums, and other ex tra touches. All this required labor, and the material?the wood?was not plentiful, and had to be carried from distant parts, with labor greater than that of the KomanB in building their battering mma to break down the walls of Jerusalem. The calcu lations which I give are little better than guess work. I have no reliable statistics to refer to: there may be each, but I have not seen tliem. I am inclined, however, to regard my figures too small rather than too X, when we consider tbe number of men employed and the length of time they worked, we naturally conclude that much was done. I wss told that from 100 to 000 Indiana wwe employed fifteen years la building the Minion. I was Mtounded at themaguitude of the rain. It surpassed anything of the kind I had ever seen. It made me feel like I were wandering among the broken arches of a dead Egyptian city. TUB LOS'KLINKSS OP DISOLATIOS. The end of this vast work was as tragic as its building was laborious. It was de stroyed in the earthquake of 1812. Its ponderous walls are warped and broken and rifted into all manner of fantastic, shapes, while parts have tumbled down, crushing to the ground the ponderous trams as though they were frail reside. The gaping windows and doore, seen from a distance, resemble tho port holes in some mighty fortification, and the whole fabric looks, as I imagine, the Cathedral of Stras* burg looked aftej the bombardment of 1870. No sign of life is seen about. All is enveloped in solitude, and an awful silence rests upon the fallen columns and the grass-grown courts. Where once the robed priests chanted toe Te Deums and the golden candlesticks i biased in the holy light of a thousand flamee, is now a foul slough of weeds, and ] anakee, and bugd and creeping things now crawl over the ancient magnificence. The wind whistles through the yawning embrazures, through which the earthquake buret, and the sunlight lends its lustre only to render the scene more melancholy and sad. TheKoman conquerer of Carthage wept over irs "splendid desolation/1 and blotted the Punic city from everything but history; hut here is a ruin, not so gigantic, but one surely as splendidly desolate, and it is scarcely heard of ten leagues distant. I I turned from tho smouldering heap of human folly and walked into the air. 1 then realiaea more fully than ever the rev olution that in taking place here. This old I mission is n thing of the past, but on every side may be seen cottages, gardens, or cbarda. and thriving industry. The change is for the better.

On every side can be heard of Borne new freaks or power of the monster till the heart sickens at their recital. Reports from tho hospital are to the effect that the children are much improved while some of the men are worse and cannot live. The list of the killed has been exaggerated through the confusion of names. Careful inquiry showB .sixteen comprises all instantly killed. The reason assigned by the city undertakers for the error is that four were said to have been taken into the cemetery by friends, which is not true, and the names four other victims were incorrectly given and thus aided to swell the suppositious list. One thousand men, women and children of a class that possess hardly anything out side of homes andj what there is in them, are to-day without anj thing. SAD DEVASTATION. Of two hundred houses which stood be fore the approach of the storm there is not sufficient material to build an ordinary frame shelter. The lame is true of the household furniture and clothing. The people are poor and must be cared lor. At present they are lodged in private housee, warehouses, emptv stores and halls, and ire being fed by the city. Rochester is do ing all she can.

London, August 24.?A dispatch from Vienna Bays that the Count de Chambord died at his estate at Frobsdorf, at six o'clock this morning. He had been sink gradually for several days, although there were hopes at times that he would recover from his present ailment. The membeiB of his family were at his bedside, and at Frobsdorf some of his political followers were anxiously watching the progress of his case, so as to be ready for action in the matter of choosing a successor to hia claims. It is understood that he preferred thelCount of Paris, and it is believed that if all the Legitimists will recogniaa him the chances of restoring the monarchy in France will be improved. Paris, August 24 ?The Republican jour nals speak respectfully in regard 11> the death of Count de Chambord, and unite in paying homage to the sincerity of the 'leceased. The Royalist's papers have ap peared with mourning borders and ure re served in their comments regarding the consequence of the Count's death. The body will be buried by the side of that of Charles X. The will of the Count will be opened in the presence of the high officials of the Austrian Court. The Count do Ciiuuiuord, grandson of Charles X, in the last apostle of the doc irlnesof the divine right of kings, unless ire except William I, of Prussia, who Bald, as he placed the crown upon his own head! "1 rule by the favoi of God and of no onu cine." Henri Charles Ferdinand Marie Diendouned'Artois, Due de Bordeaux, was horn in the Tulleries, Paris, September 21), 1820. He believes himself to he the ouly rightful heir to the throne of France, and lincc the surrender of Sedan and the itsue of bis manifesto, signs himself "Henry V." Hia father, who waa heir presumptive to the throne, waa assas sinated February 14,1820, and great waa the joy when, seven months later, hia widow gave birth to a Prince. Whou Charles X. abdicated in favor of bis grand ion, the buck de Boredeaux, the people in sisted upon crowning the "Citizen King," tnd the elder Bjurbons were banialed. la 1830, the Prince visited the courts of Italy wllb ills mother, and in 1811 went to Lou, ilon, both visits having political ends in view. In 184U he married the eldest daughter of the Dulte of Modena. lnl8oO,be appear ed at Weisbaden, where a union or fusion of the partisans of the elder Bourbons with the OrleaniBts was effected, but no attempt was made to carry out the arrangement. After the capitulation of l'aris in 1871 the Count returned to France. The Legitimists ? ere, at this time, strong enough to warraat them attempting to place upon the throne the last descendant of the old Bourbons, but be oommitted political suicide by refusing to accept the throne under the tri-color, and lost all, rather than sacrifice hia fidelity to the white Hag of Na varre. In 1873 a difference between the two families ol the royal house was reme died by the acknowledgement of tho Count de Paris that Count de Chambord was the head. It is reported that the Count has solemnly designated the Count de Paris as hia successor. The life of the Count de Chambord has been essentially that of a French political leader. For exactly twelve days he waa King of France. Even hia -days of exllo have been kingly, and while he has the gentlemanly attributes of education, refine ment and (intelligence which befit a king, yet here have been a short sighted nessand fanatacism which proved his rain. He is a Tory handsome man, rather stout and ol|iteiium height. Hlf greatest power however is in a rich; musical voice which would well become a general. Unaffected and gracloua in bis manner, the simplicity and amiability of b'la nature are revealed in bis frank and honeat face. FORBION FLASHES. The situation at Tamatave '.smalns un changed.
