THE action of the friends of Mr. Boleg before the council in asking that the tax payers of the city pay the judgment awarded by a jury of his countrymen against him for shooting Miller, is surely not to say the least, a little cheeky*

If such a thing should be approved of by the council, no donbt many of our tax payers would enjoin the collection of the same.

The matter as it now stands, presents to the minds of every thoughtful man the question as to how far a policeman is al lowed to go in exercising his duty. This question has recently been before the courts of New York, and from all the cases cited, both in this country and Eng land, it seems that policemen as a general rule, think they are clothed with more authority then they really are. It is true, that as a principle, it is necessary to up hold andjprotect the police in the execu tion of their duty but it is not a principle of right that police should be protected when they act beyond the scope of their authority. And as the London Law Journal truthfully says, "The policemen are generally men of violent passions who are placed in a position of great power, and often tempted or disposed to abuse it.

The peculiar danger arising from their position is this: That they are in a position of apparent authority and that, if they abuse their power and are resisted, they are at once the accusers and the witnesses. They can convict the accused on their own testimony, and wreck a terrible revenge for any resistance they may encounter." It is not true that a policeman has the legal right to arrest every man whom he sees drunk, unless oy some statute he is given that power. It is not within the authority of a policeman to arrest a man simply because he is talking loud, unless such talk amounts to disturbance. And no one will pretend but that if apo I iceman, without any authority or right, should endeavor to arrest a man that he may resist, even to death. Perhaps, if all the facts were known in regard to the shooting of Miller by Boleg, it would be just such a case, and, at the farthest, Miller was guilty of nothing beyond amisdemeanor, and Boleg had no cause or reason for shooting him, and that is just what the jury thought that awarded Miller damages against Boleg, which our people are now asked to pay.

TUB Gazette in commenting upon the following, "This year it is to bo determined whether the Democratic or lie publican party is to hold power hereafter in this country/' says: In behalf of the Democratic party we deny the above so far as the Democratic party is concerned. So do we. The NEWS thinks that question Is settled. It was almost conclusively settled on Monday last in this city and county. It was almost nettled at Vicksburg, Appomattox, in the Wilderness, and before Richmond, and now this year is fraught with danger to the country: 1880 Is 'big" with the necessity of the existence of a free republic. The people all over this broad land, who love their coun try more than they do party, should arouse themselves when they hear the false and deceptive voice of the Democratic press cry out and say, ''Oh. the Democratic party doea not hold to any revolutionary notions or measures," The past is too near the present to admit of the truth of such% a statement from the Democratic party. We have stood with folded arms and inactive as it were for the last three or four years past, and were the true patriots of the country to remain indifferent to the past and present events* no mortal man could tell where our glorious country would be in a few years when controlled by the Democratic party. The events of the last few months in the State of Indiana clearly show that there is a growing feeling even In the Democratic party Itself, that the leaders, ahoulderhiUera and henchman of that party have gone beyond the line where safe and reliable men ought to go, Hence we seethe great reforms embraced in the Constitutional Amendments supported by a large class of men and Democrats in the face of Us© Gazette and politicians of that party.

By many Mr. Edmunds is looked upon as the darkest of the dark horses.

OHEAT BRITAIN—COUNTY CORK ELECTION. NEW YORK IIKRALD BUREAU, LONDON, April 5, 1880. By Cable to the Inter-Ocean. -{i-.

The Cork election has passed off with out any exciting incident, though there were the usual number of small fights. In the evening Mr. Pamcll made a speech from a window in the Victoria Hotel. The votes will not be counted till morning, but Mr. Fameirs speech is thought to indicate that he knows himself to be beaten. He says: "The battle ia now over. I know the people of Cork have done all they could. I came hfcre in a crisis to put out the Liberals, and if I have done that I am satisfied. It is generally believed that Mr. Goulding, the Conservative candidate, and H. Daly, the Home-ruler, are elected, but others believe in the chances of Daly and Murphy, the Liberals.

A S S A A correspondent at Cork says P&rnell has declared open war against William Shaw, the Home Rule leader, by nominating Kettle, of the Land League^ against Shaw-anil Colthurst for Count? Cork. Parnefl was accompanied to the Sheriff's office, where the nomination took place by a cheering mob.

ROUHAN1A—SLIGHTLY RUFFLED. XrONDON, April 5.—A

The value of whose products is counted by millions of dollars, feel their advantage oyer limited dealers more than ever before, for they can afford to sell their merchandise at a much lower figure than small dealers can. Our belief remains unshaken, and we shall act upon it, that the best time to seil cheap is when others are selling dear that more fortunes have been, made by selling at low prices than at high prices and, finally, that the price tells, and every body tells. the price, whether the price be high or low.

The fabrics from which we manufactured our spring* and dimmer stock were selected before the recent advance, which enables us to not only save our customers the middleman's profit, but also save them the recent advance that every small dealer had to pay for his goods. I

We therefore take pleasure in announcing to our patrons that Men's, Youths', Boys'and Children's Clothing, Gent's Furnishing Goods of every shade and grade, will be retailed at hist year's wholesale prices.

LONDON, April 5.—A dispatch from Rangoon says the British Commissioner has written a letter to the Burmese Embassy at Thyetmyo, saying the Embassy had failed to offer satisfactory proposals for anew treaty with Great Britain, or even produce its powers to do so. Therefore an early return of the Embassy to Upper Burmah was desirable. 'P. RU88IA.

pondent of the Times says: "Several weeks since the American Minister at Vienna sent here for signature a detailed commercial treaty between the United States and Roumania. The government was surprised at this most unceremonious method of treaty making, and as the Roumanians have all the Oriental affection for negotiations, they were utterly unprepared to sign the document, which had never been duly haggled over in the most approved Eastern fashion. Their newlyfledged national nignity was ruffled by the idea that the Americans proposed to accomplish In a brief correspondence what England's representative* had been unable to do In a year. The absence of any American representative at Bucharest is not calculated to produce a favorable impression, and It Is probable that the treaty wHI continue to repow In a pigeonhole until a properly accredited official Is appointed to bring it to the light of day."

He is one of the finest-looking men in the country, and knows it. Five feet, eleven and a half inches tall, he is broad enough to deceive one as to his height.

^LONDON, April 8,—A dispatch from St Petersburg to Renter's Telegram Company says: "It is reported here to-day that Chinese troops have crossed the Arnoor river into Russian territory." According to a rumor here the Chinese troops number 20,000. The rumor requires confirmation/ rWfl 4*

incinnati roughs have had reason to learn. "He is an ugly man to wake up, and "an awkward man in a row,"' as a friend said of Mm| 'He is powerful, strikes a heavy, savage blow, and makes the fight a hard one, but that done, he is through. He is not a good hater, and is soon over it, forgetting it all, and bearing no malice. He is as big and generous as he looks.' One of his generous impulses was shown at the time of the Chicago fire. When the Tribune office went, he did not stop to ask what the heed was or to telegraph an offer. The Commercial always keeps on hand, in the vault of a bank, a font of type, distributed in the cases, the cases being screwed together in sixes, to protect the type, aad for easy handling. This wat at the Tribune's service, 'an said the editor of the lat ter, up he came post-haste on the first express, with a ton of type with him, all in its cases, and said, in his jolly way, "I knew you'd want it." Twenty-four hours after the office had been burned we were on our feet, and all that type was flving into the sticks. He wouldn't hear of payment, and never took a cent for it'"

The Solar System In Miniature. The London Times describes an interesting invention by an Italian, Signor N. Perini, long a resident of London. For want of abetter name it is called a plan* etarium, though vastly different from anything of that name hitherto construct-

It is erected in the center of a room with a high ceiling. On entering the room one sees a high circular chamber, or box. standing on twelve wooden pillars. On entering underneath this chamber, and looking up, a dome is Been, deep blue and sprinkled with stars, the chief northern constellations being in I their proper places, and round the base of the dome the names of the signs of the zodiac. Pendent from the top of the dome bv a narrow tube is an opiiv plobe, lit inside by gas, and representing the sun. From wires, almost invisible, the planets are suspended around the sun, of sizes ana atdistances approximately proportionate to the real sizes and distances, and each having its proper inclination to the plane of its orbit. The various moons are in their places, and Saturn has his rings.

The general effect on looking up at this arrangement from below i& impressive, and this effect is increased when Signor Perini, by simply turning a key, sets the system in motion. The sun turns on its axis and the planets in their orbits, all in time accurately proportionate, ana on watching the movements for a short time one easily realizes the immense difference in length of the years of the earth I and those of tiie outer planets. By an ingenius watch work arrangement inside tjae earth, which ie the size of walnut, our world is made to revolve on Its axis, the latter, by a special effort of ingenuity of Signor Perini, being always made to point to the same quarter of the heavens. The same arrangement causes the moon to resolve around the earth in its own proper orbit. Perhaps the great triumph of this invention is the fact that the planets resolve round the sun in proper/ elliptical orbits, which are traced around the inside of the dome. The dome Is fourteen feet in diameter
