Deputy Sheriff Sam Real, Constable Iv. A3 cook, acting City JIarshal Gamble and the jiilor, l. Pru den, all ot whom stood bravely up to their duty, threatening to shoot dead the first man who attempted to force an entrance to the jail. This kind of a re ception was more than the would bi niobbcrs expected,. audN they q'lietly withdrew and aban doned the undertaking giving it up as a bad job. The Marim says-Trimble is a bad man , he committed a crime which will aroiue any people, t. e. the killing of Hugh Lee and Robert Ollinger, but it was a grave mistake in attempt ing to inflict summary punish ment upon him, and thereby placing at datiauce the laws of the land, lie will now have his trial according to law and will be sure to reecive that jus tice which the enormity of tlie erimj demands ot a civilized and law-loving community. Capt. Lang and the citizens of ilarlin alio rendered valuable assistance in dispersing the mob, tor which they have the thanks oi" every right thinking and peace loving citizen in the State. Had the sheriff and jailor of Bell county done like the Falls county officers the disgraceful lynching ot two men in that county woiild not have taken place. All praise, say we. to the gal lant ofik-ers of Falls county, who stood up bravely and triumph antly against a mob, in indica tion ot the law. It is gratifying to believe that thp principal personage, en gaged in the first attempt to secure the office ot President by fraud, are likely to come to se veic grief, and have condign punishment meted out to them, their aiders and abettors coered with everlasting shame and cou-tu-ion. It is true no punish ment can adequately atone the crime '"Iat tlie sins ot the fathers m this case wilt cling to their children, poor innocents, until many generations have passed away. The first hundred years of American Indepeu- lence, it is gratifying to know. a safely passed, without any ttempt at so outrageous a design. Let the attempt made o subvert the principles of our overnment in this the beam ing of the tecond centurv of r existence, be so severely uiishcd, and so unmistakabh thematized hy the whole na- 1, that no second attempt of e kinll will be likelv ever to essayed.

He talked for a few minutes upon the political condition of the country hoped that the worst was over and that a fair and peaceable settlement of the mat ter might now be arrived at ; id faith in the ability of the limisMon to arrange a satis fy solution of the problem. The great International exhi bition which is to take place in Paris in 1S7S. is beginning to 1 attract attention already. Ar rangements are now being male in France fur the coming event ; and no doubt the exposition will be eiy attractive, possibly sur passing that ot any other coun- try. as the French arc proverbial for great taste in display and peculiar mode of arrangement 1 tor exhibition.

England is more a monarchy in name than in fact. The lIone of Commons is the power behind the throne greater than the throne itself. France is a republic an infant it is true, but give her time ; she will grow to the .symmetrical stature of a republic after a while. The American head has no fancy for the cost of gar ments ot other nations, even if those garments have tinsel and gold trimming around the edges. The American is a little too proud to adopt discarded gar ments. Peuso.v.vls. Mr. J. "W. Crump of Sempronius was in the city Saturday. We a-c pleased to learn from him, that Col.
