The New York World of yesterday puli-li.-lied
General Weiiii's communication to the
UneJUan Government, on the subject of the
aei.ure of the Florida. In commenting upon
the document, the 11'oWiZ censures General
rii for his imprudence in anticipating tho
action of his Government; for his undiplomatic
prei ccdit.g in vehemently protesting against
the conduct of foreign Towers in according
the Hebcls belligerent rights; and lor his in
veighing especially against the conduct of
Great Britain. To this criticism General
VV'i'.iwt has undoubtedly laid himself open by
the tenor of bis communication. It romains,
however, to be seen whether he has mlscon
st rued the sentiinents'of his Government, for
If so, whether they cau disclaim the official
proceeding of their Envoy Extraordinary and
ilinbter Plenipotentiary.
General Wkiiii was indiscreet in denouncing
the course of foreign Powers, but according to
the opinion which we have already expressed
on the Florida question, his view of the
seizure is that which the Uuited States are
bound in honor to admit. Whilst Btrenuously
u lintalnlng that the Florida and similar ves
ftcls are licensed pirates, ho admits that tho
immunity which they enjoyed in other waters
uiu.st inhere in them equally in tho waters of
iiradl. lie Buys: "Tho uudersigned believes
himself to be authorized to assure your Ex
that all the reparation which honor
ce exact wiU be very freely offered,
ce Honey,
and justice exact will
ai.i much more freely aud promptly than
if the act had been committed by an
:nerlcan cruiser in the waters of the most
powerful nation of the world. But, while
making thus reparation, the Government of the
United States will offer, without doubt, tho
wnende htmornllt under protest. She will
day to lira.il that she denies, in tulo, to any
untion or nations, us soon as rebellion breaks
out in the dominions of any friendly power,
and without any examination or Investigation
whatever, and without knowing or pretending
to know the merits of the contest, the right to
declare that the Ilobels constitute a belliger
ent pow er, and by means ol a proclamation
open to them all the ports of the world on terms
equal to those conceded to the nation against
which they rebel." This Is the gi.it of Umtcrul
Wi'.bu'h communication to the l!ra.'d-an Gov-
eriinieut. Injudicious and undiplomatic it
certainly is, but tho truth of hU allegations
Cnunot be controverted.
The subiect of this Imbroglio has been dis
cussed from an entirely wrong stand-point.
Tin chief arguments which have been adduced
&r our course to lira11, arc those derived fiora
lleed pivcedenta furnished by the conduct
ol England. The article, which we believe to
have been erroneously attributed to Mr.
S' iinhi, gleans cvid nco almost from thn
times of antiquity to prove that England has
lepoatodly vli.'iated International law. Even
admitting for a moment, what I.s not true, that
all the examples In that article are pertinent to
tlm question, what are we to Infer? Does
I'nglaiid, and England alone, promulgate
iiiieruatlonid law ? Is Eimhind tho sole ex
pi sitor ol international law? lit her violation.
v' it HiilhVieut excuse lor ours?
We can understand the intention ot furulsh
iii preceUeuU uguiust Eugluud, if it is iu-
tended to Insinuate Unit her silence would be
more decent and discreet than adjurations to
other nations to resK-ct what she disregards,
lint If the conclusions drawn from these pre
cedents are not Intended li.rthat purpose, they
are unavailable for any other. I'idess tion
the plea of retaliation, the wrong-doing of
another nation cannot be our criterion o"
right. Conscience is the only mirror of seli
ii'piol)tion. To niialgn Knglaiid doe nut settle the
Florida que stion. If we could cite a thousand
Instil in es of hit infraction of international law,
v herein would we be bcnellteil? The con
sail tat ion ot'sucli precedents should but impel
us to In' fiiillilul to the prim -s against
whose violations we declaim. To soar above
the petty Impulse of the hour, to scorn to
perpetrate n wrong, should be a great nation's
proudest boast. Jl the l liited States sanction
the course of General Wkiiii, the heart of
cverv citizen should swell with exultation, to
feel that the Nation Is too grand to be petty
even in a single net.

Interest for our citiz 'tis, not us Americans,

the most beautiful productions of the latter
may we rank our City of Drotherly Love. Tlii
consideration of any subject tending to the
improvcm"ut of our town regulations cannot
but bo most Important and Interesting to the
t'cneml public.
At the las meeting of our ''City Fatli Ts," a
bill was introduced nbollshin r the. svstem of
portable market stands on v. heuh, in the siiapo
of wagons, which now stand backed upagaiust
our siilewa'l s. The formal vote on the subject
was postponed until Thursdny, when tiie de
cision of that body will either remove the
niil.-ance, or legalize one of the most objec
tionable, customs which ever disgraced a com
munity the plan of filling up our broadest
and most picturesque thoroughfares with
hideous countiy wagons. When the rustics
uirive from fheir rural homes, they nppear to
labor under the delusion that the crowded
streets of adensely populated t jwu werv created
especially for the benefit of their ancient carts ;
that the sidewalks which cost our people
thousands annually to repair w ere paid for in
order that their fish, and beef, ami vegetables
could assail tho nostrils of the passer-by, and
in order that a race of lean canines, eager to
become cannibals, which lurked beneath their
wagons, should be encouraged by the conti
nuid flavor of meat to attack the peacefully
disposed man or the helpless child, and spread
hydrophobia, like uu epidemic, amidst our
people.
We therefore call upon the City Councils to
do their duty, and ubollsh the nuisance. They
need not be alarmed ut the excited shrieks of
fishmongers, because six of this race are ''a
host in themselves," at least in strength of
voice. The great mass of our Intelligent citi
zens liivor such an improvement; the health
nud beauty of our city demand it; and within
a 3'ear even the old Locofocos, who are so In
dignant to-day, will rejoice In being able to
purchase their marketing iu neat and airy
houses erected lor the purpose.
It is also demanded as a simple act ot justice.
The holders of stalls In the house are obligod
to pay rent to the city, while those who stand
in the street escape this expense. This is
unfair to those who believe in the system of
advancement in marketing as well as govern

THE KXK I HON Ol' MI'I.I.F.R.
The cose of Franz Mixi.i-.b, recently exe
cuted in England for the murder of a bank
clerk named Unions., in a railroad car, has
excited much mote than ordinary public Inte
rest on both sides of the wuter. The manner
in which the crime was committed was ulone
fitted to alarm ull persons accustomed to tra
veling on I'liglifth railway, where they are
shut up iu small compartments, and deprived
of ull means of escape or rescue In the event
of personal danger, llesides this, the whole
olVulr was invested witli singular mystery,
from the beginning unto the end; and there
I lire many Intelligent minds that even
how, notwithstanding the late and laconic
conlestlon of Mtu.i.Kii on the scaffold, atill
entertain a serious doubt ol his guilt. There
Ls not, in our recollection, a single case of a
l like character in which so earnest and general
; an etlort was made to reprieve the prisoner,
1 upon tho supposition of his Innocence, or,
: ruther, a dissatisfaction with the evidence
upon which bo was convicted. Kot only did
' the German Six let y In London make the most
7cnlouB and persistent etl'orts to have Mi.'i.-
I.l it respited, but some of the h gh oIllchLs of
' the Prussian Government at lieilin Joined In
thcM' appeals.
All, however, w is in vain, 1 lie stern rig'ir
of English justice prevailed. Tho accused,
who w lis pursued to this countiy, arrested in
New York, and curried h ick to the very scene
of his ullcged homicide, was tried, condemned,
and hanged. It is not by any means to bo
i taken for granted that he was guilty because
1 he was judicially declared to be so. Verdicts
j of juries iu ermiiaal cases are uot infallible
not always necessarily conclusive of the ques
tions of licl 'hey profess to find. There were
Items of testimony in Mi M.r.ii n rase which,
it is true, bore very powerfully against th
presumption of his innocence. They seemed
almi sf as Irresi-tible a direct and positive
proof of criminality. And yet they were but
links in a chain of cireum-tanees apparently
connecting M i it. Kit with the murder. His,
Inditd, an old proverb, that circumstantial
cvidi nee, when completely made out, is the
strongest sort of proof. And yet a false wit
ness on the side of the prosecution, or the
want of an honest one on the S'de of the de
fense, to clear up some matter seemingly In
consistent w ith the theory ol tlie innocence ot
the prisoner, may lead to a wrong verdict,
v.Ihii the chain of testimony against him
appears to be perfect in every essential par
ticular.
As respects the present case, the confession
of Mil l. m is not to be Implicitly relied upon.
lie protested Ilia' he was not guilty even up
to the very instant before the drop fell, and
though at that awlul moment, with his whole
soul agitated, bo may have uttered the words
imputed to him'' Yes, I did it!' the last
words he evi r articulated jet it is not Im-
ossibie that lie may have pronounced them
( ilherur.eoiisciouslv.orel.se in agoni.cd im-
alienee of the importunate ch.ipl iin, w ho
seems first to have assumed the guilt of .Mi i.-
iiai, mid f hen lo have persecuted III in with
appeals to confess the crillifl, up to the last
Cut ill moment .
The clergyman, too, is reported to have
been greatly delighted with bis llnal success
in overcoming the fortitude of a wretched
youth, whom, it may be, he literally badgered
into bearing false witness agilnsl himself. The
rtorterfbr the Lon 'on Timet, In describing
the scene, says:
"So grentty iclievcd was the reverend pentlo-
m. n by tlc coiiiissioD, that bo rush i from (he

unit sunk down in u clmir, com pic cly exhausted

K. Kli h, in tlio pr. since of the Micr.fl- and
ui.ui-iflicrilfs, and the rcpri8.ntntr.es ot the
nnp per prcs, of w hom llicru were four, what
IikU jnt i asscil between linn ano the convict,
ptceiht ly us It Lad iiccn reved above."
As the case stands the weight of probability
Is certainly against the hypothesis of Mt:i.-
I,n:'s innocence. Aud yet the human mind
Is so prone not to sympathize with crime, but
to leu n fo the hide and cling to the hope of
innocence, in every case of alleged crime In
which there Is a loop to hang a doubt on. that
it is not at all surprising that the execution of
Mt'MKK, under tho remarkable circum
stances that attended it, will long
be recalled with a painful sense of misgiving
as to bis guilt. There is no likelihood, of
course, that if a mistake was made in the ver
dict, and the w rong man made to suitor for
the murder of Mr. Bilious, tho fact will ever
lie discovered, thoigh it has happened repeat
edly thut men on their doath-beds have con
fessed to the commission of crimes for which
guiltless persons have heel, punished. Should
it, however, ut any time hereafter be disclosed
that Mi'i.r.Kit did not commit tho murder,
but was only connected with It by a
reniarkuble concatenation of accidental coin
cidences which fixes the guilt upon him,
while screening tho real criminal even from
suspicion, the revelatlou would come too late
for bis bcnellt, but not too late to teach courts
and juries a most valuable practical lesson.
it is true that justice is often defeated by the
overweening compassion and doubts of hor
ministers. YH it Is nevertheless a sound and
wholesome rule, that many guilty persons had
better escape than that one innocent person
should sutler; mid though a jury may even
convict and a court sentence, it may yet be
w he and humane to graut a reprieve where
there is a rational doubt of guilt ufler con
viction. "WASIIINGTOjS G033IP.
