Wo are not .<t#prised at the intelligence
that the Acquittal of Prince Pierre Bona
jwte of the assassination of Victor Noir
creates wonder and astonishment wherev
er it is known. The deed was so openly
committed, the guilt of the accused so ap
parent, that there was no doubt in the'
public mind what the verdict ought to be.
The result reached is therefore considered
a violation of justice, and the power which
sways the destiny of France is responsible1
for the outrage. It asserts in substance not
only that “The King can do no wrong,’’
but that his relations are above the courts
and their lives sacred whatever crimes they
may commit. Had Pierre Bonaparte been
but a common man instead of being the
cousin of the Emperor, his life would have
paid the forfeit for the murder which he
perpetrated. The deed was without prov
ocation, was savage. There were no cir
cumstances connected with it to call for
lenity. It was done in his own rooms, up
on an unarmed man, engaged in what
duellists hold a propermission, though men
holding to the “code" may think other
wise. The bearing of the Prince during
the trial was in keeping with the act for
which he was tried and the character
which he has manifested through life, lie
interrupted the witnesses, bullied the court
and lawyers, and displayed more of the
rage and recklessnos of a madman or wild
beast than the appearance of a reasonable
being on trial for life in the nineteenth
century.
I’m Pierre Bonaparte is the cousin of the
Emperor ami hence he is safe. The quar
rel in which the murder of Victor Noir
originated was one in belmlf of the Em
peror, at least it was one against Roche
fort, the political oponent of the reigning
head of France, and thus there was a
political reason as well as that of consan
guinity to prevent justice being done to
the offender. Everywhere it will be un
derstood by all intelligent and unpreju
diced men that this trial was a farce, a
mockery of justice, such as used to dis
grace the world in feudal times and
which it was supposed we had outlived and
should never see again. The effect of it
will be to bring into still greater contempt
in tlic public mind the authority which
kings claim to rule by God-given right.
No king, kaiser, or court can set the
murderer free for kinship or partisanship
without proclaiming by the act that justice
has nothing to do with such a step. The
blood of Victor Noir is stronger to-day
than the li\ing Emperor and Jiis brutal
minion. Franco is iu chains. Liberty
there is but a phantom. Napoleon holds
the power of life and death in his hands
through the fear of his armed thousands.
Rochefort dared to speak against his op
pressions, and here is the endhis friend
murdered, the murderer acquitted, and
Rochefort himself a prisoner, while Na
poleon still reigns.
What with the exhibition of outraging
justice in this case by kingly despotism, and
the itevelojHimonts of kingly licontionsness
and depravity in tkeMordaunt divorce af
fair, w.liat can the defenders of kings and
emperors have to say for their theory of
“divine right ?” If these men rule by any
thing short of Satanic influence, of tie! right
which the craven fears or delusions of
their followers give them, we are not able
to Se$ it. If the acquittal of l’ierro Bona
parte shall make the thrones of despots
tremble and lead to the enlargement of
the privileges and rights^)!' the humbler
classes, the blood of Victor Noir will have
some recompense. Thatthc agitation oc
casioned by it mnst-be violent there can
be no doubt, and less doubt that the sup
pressed indignation in Franco will out
measure by far what appears upon the
surface. BR
COLLECTOR BAILEY.
The promptness with which the govern
ment has dealt with Collector Bailey, the
New York defaulting officer of the rev
enue, is the host evidence of the straight
forward manner in which the administra
tion conducts itself towards its own un
worthy officers. Hailey held the place
under Andrew Johnson without difficulty,
hut when Secretary Boutwell came to have
the care of the Treasury, and to become
familiar with the officials that surrounded
him, he distrusted Hailey, and a^ soon as
the Fullerton trial was over commenced the
investigation which exposed Hailey’s crime
and drove him to seek safety in flight.
Hailey kept up the appearance of being a
model officer, by seeming to deal strictly
with those classes whom he had to look
after, while at the same time he was tak
ing their money for unlawful favors and
robbing the government. A New York
correspondent of the Washington Chroni-!
cle says:
Bailey wan always excessively ambitious, ,
and not at all particular in the means he em
ployed to reach and possess power. The late I
seizures were made without warrant of law,
nor the shadow of equity to suttain his inva
sive actions anil unsubstantial allegations.
The ex-collector’s object was to force or fright
en his victims into some sort of compromise
favorable to his schemes and personal aggran
dizement, and at the same time keep up the
appearance of being a pattern for all revenue
collectors to copy, llailey ever kept a watch
ful eye on the moieties, and generally pocket
ed the lion’s share of those little by-play pro
ceedings, while he adroitly promulgated the
supposition that any appeal Pi Commissioner
Delano would be useless—that he was secure
in the confidence of his superiors, and that his
views would be implicitly sustained by the
\\ ashington authorities in charge of such Gov
ernment matters.
But New 1 ork liquor nien, especially when
wronged, are rurt easily subdued or black
mailed, and smarting under t|lt grievous tils,
they sought redress at the luuuls of .Secretary
ldoutwelf With hi* single, straight-forward
mind and quick discerning jofigment, the solid
systematic King of Finance decided on a speedy
investigation of the difficult 1jui1u*-s» that
' should either confirm certain damaging
charges against the collector or exonerate him
from all Manic in the stringent applications of
his legal functions.
Solicitor Banfield was dispatched to this city
last we. h by the bel'elory of the Treasury to
! take the personal supervision of the case. A
! vferv little plain questioning of Bailey by So
licitor Banff Id ami Smith convinced them
that something was rotten in Denmark.
Aware of his self-implicated situation and evi
dent inability to dear himself from his half
implied culpability in a most damaging abuse
of his office and position: the Solicitor was
yet far from suspecting that Bailey was so
deeply entangled as to resort to that last des
perate refuge of the hopelessly guilty—flight;
but this was the miserable man’s only chance
of escaping the punishment he had richly
earned, lie did not scruple to take immedi
ate advantage of the little time left him; and
deserting home, wife, and children, he igno
mitiously fled the scene of his crime.
The manner in which the frauds have been
so long anil so successfully earrried ou was
by a very simple and easily-conducted
method indeed. Bailey constantly made col
lections, which ho assiduously appropriated to
his individual benefit. These collections were
returned to Washington ns uncollected;
and, being received outside of his regular
receiving clerk and cashier, they were of
Course not entered upon the books of the
office as collected assessments. In this way
they were carried over from month to month,
and the fraud perfectly safe from detection
unless the money should chance to lie de
manded of the tax-payer the second time,
who, with hi- receipt of acknowledged pay
ment, would have speedily brought affairs to
a crisis. But this was cleverly obviated by
alternately changing the name of the supposed
delinquent and substituting that of others,
thus avoiding a collision, and life, rally robbing
I’eter to pay l'uul with most consumate care
and tact. In this manner the discovery was
avoided, day after day, until Bailey become
hampered and cramped beyond further con
cealment.
At a Inti- hour last Saturday night. t met
Deputy Collector Childs was arrested by Col.
Whitley, charged with being directly implicat
ed with Ilailey. For some months their busi
ness connections have been of the most inti
mate nature, and aside from this are near
relatives. Childs confessed that tie bail aideil
! and abetted Bailey throughout his career of
crime and treachery, and admitted the fact of
his having assisted him in his evil doing. The
defalcations first originated in the 4th dis
t. t by the mysterious di-appearance of some
fift thousand dollars, which Bailey managed
to cover up by srnnsferring funds for the pur
pose from the 32d district, and in this unique
way meeting the deficiency incurred of one
transgression by creating another—conceal
ing the first evil by perpetrating a second:
and assisted by his confidential deputy. Childs,
lie made rapid strides in the downward road
of crime to the final end that he has reached
in a single desperate leap that carried him be
! yond even the poor pity of those who were
I once his friends, and byneath the asper
' siotis of those who were always his enemies.
The prat tice ot sueli a deception has limits,
and cannot always be maintained. Mr. Bai
ley's continued practice of attempting, and
tiiratime carrying out, a well-laid plan of
double dealing, and persistent transfusion of
one person’s fraud with that of another, pro
duced a complicated state of peril to him.
from which it became impossible to extricate
himself with honor, and every effort he made
to free himself only served to plunge him
deeper and deeper in the whirlpool of dark
disgrace, which has at last engulfed him for
ever, as regards the respect and confidence
of upright men. The calamitous result of
his unlawful deeds proves that they laid with
in themselves his future punishment, and this
disastrous ending of what was undoubtedly a
fair beginning stands as a warning, and points
a useful moral to those who, elevated to en
viable positions of trust, are tempted to im
molate manhood, truth, and rectitude in their
eagerness to attain speedy wealth, and com
mand the fashionable follies and extrava
gances of the day. It has been extensively
reported and published that Bailey fied in
comparative poverty, and left his family nl
most destitute. But the statement is incor
rect, for it has been discovered that he owns a
spleudid farm in New Hampshire, valued at
something like ninety thousand dollars.

Entitled SEXI AL PHYSIOLOGY OF WOMAN AND

cali.t and Pathologically, from IhfaNCt to old Auk,
With elegant Il.Ll>TXATIVK Engravings.
These are, beyond all comparison, the most extraordinary
works Physiology ever published. There is nothing
whatever that the Married <>r Single <*f Eitiike Sex can
either require or wi*U to know, but what is fully explained,
and many matters of the most important and Interesting
character are introduced, to which no alliuitm even can be
found In any other works in our language. All the New
Discoveries of the author, whose experience is of an unin
terrupted magii tudt—such a.- probably nevsr before fell to
the lot of any man—are given iu full. No person shnuhl
be with'mt these valuable books. They are utterly unlike
any others ever published.
Valuable Book**. We have received the valuable med
* leal w.irks of Dr. Alb. rt H Hayes. These hooks are of
actual merit, and should find a place In every intelligent
family. They are not the cheap order of abominable trash,
published by irresponsible parties, and purchas'd to gratify
course tastes, but are written by a responsible prtdsNional
gentleman of eminence, as a source of instruct.on on vital
matters, concerning which lamentable ignorance exists.
The imjH riant subjects presented are treated with delicacy,
ability and care, and, as ail appendix, many useful pre
scriptions for prevailing complaints are added—Coos Re
publican, Lancaster, iV. //., Sep. 7, 1*60.
Dr. Hayls is one of the roost learned and popular physi
cians of the day, and is entitled to the gratitude of our
race for these invaluable productions. It seems to lie his
aim U> indue* men and women to avoid the cause of those
diseases t<* which tie y are subject, and h- tells them just
h'>w am! wb n to do it.—Farmington Chronicle, Far
mirujton, Me., Sept. 2, 1^09
These are truly scientific arid popular works by Dr.
Hayes, one of the most (earned and popular physician* of
of the day.—The Medical and SuryieaJ Journal, July,
