3S. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals Upon the ftiot Imoort ant Topics of the Hour. COr:LB IVF.RY DAY FOB EVENING TELEGRAPH Murder by Low. Irom ttu Tribune. Masaachtiaptts to-diy haucm a man for' murder, who has not been proved to have com mitted the crime for which he will suffer, who never confewed it, who never saw a Jury, who has never had a trial in any legal Bonao of the word, and who, on the testimony of his own town- men, and of the highest medical authority in the State, is a dwnrf and an imbecile. That roan, in thoe circumstances, Massachusetts hangs to-morrow. , The history ot this case is without a precedent, ana we trust may never be drawn Into a prece dent in the tntiire administration of what Is called law in Mansnnhusrtts. When Edward W. Ureen was brought into Court and arraigned on an indictment lor murder in the tirst degree, he refused to plead tcuilty to that charge. Under the Msssathupctts statute, only murder with premeditation is a capital crime, and whether the murder b? w ith premeditation is a question not tor the court but for the lury. Green "asserted that he riid not kill wirh torethouirht. It was stated to bim that the prosecuting officer would not accept a plna of jtuilty in the second decree, because upon the proof in his possession there was a degree ot deliberation in the act which locally amounted to premeditation or malice ntorothoueht. Green still rcitfratod, us he had steadily done while in prison, that there was no premeditation in his mind. Thereupon his counsel took him out of court to argue him into the opposite conviction, and by presenting to this half-idiotic intellect the leeal distinction between murder in the firH and murder in the secotd degree, to persuade the miserable wretch to phau guilty to the tirst. That counsel has since stated that had he then known the fuels subsequently brought to light, he would not have fiiven such novice to his client. Hut he so far succeeded thut Green came into court and made a pica, which was entered as a plea of guilty in the first degree. No couit should have permitted such n manipula t on of a prisoner There wa a time when it would not have IkjA tolerated in Massachusetts. While the late Chief Justice Shaw presided over the Supreme Court, he consistently received a plea ot guilty with hesitation and reluctance. In a well known case at Tantuon, he talked to the prifouer an hour belore ne would allow his plea to be entcml. "You don't know what you mean." "But I killed the womaii." "You mean you strucK her and she died. I! "Yes, sir." 'That is miinslnushter, is it not?" "I don't know." "Then," said the Chiet Justice, "Mr. Clerk, record a plea of not guilty, ml lei us try this man.' Were there no other ftlement of in justice in this lease, it would be a gross out rune to hang a man whose conviction Was secured in such a way. Ex-Coeinor Andrew, himself one of the most eminent lawyers in the State, was so convinced of the irregularity of these proceedinas, that he refused, so long as be was Governor, to issue a warrant for the execution of Green. It was his opinion, and is to-day "the opinion of mauy others of the ablest criminal ltrwiers in New England, that Green never had baa a trial. He not only never meant to plead guilty of preme ditated murdir, he never did plead guilty, legally and within the contemplation and pur pore of the statute under which, he was ar raigned. The torms of law had. not been re garded, and to hung Edward W.", Wreen la to hang a man not legally convicted, and, there fore, in the eje of the law, innocent. The legal propositions beaiina on the case are briefly and clearly stated in this summary of Governor Andrew's opinion, and were argued Dy otner counsel to tne supreme Court on a writ of error: The Judgment in this ease is erroneous. The substance of the error is that tile Court passed sentence of doatli upon the said'' Edward W. Green, instead ot' a sentence to iinprlsonmout for Hie. Green had been Indicted for murder. It does not appear from anything contained in tho Indictment that tne murder was committed In any manner wh eh constitutes murder in the tirst decree. Nor is murder in the first dogiee iu' anywise specifically al eired in this indictment. Having heard the indictment read, the record sen forth that Green "lorth with being demanded con cerning the premises in the said indictment above specified anu charged upon him, hesaitti thereof he is aunty ot murder In tne mst degree." 1 here was no trial nor bearing upon the tacts. Ao mots constituting murder in tie first deprse, under the statute, as diatingulsbcd from murdona the second degree, under the stututo, were specified and charged uoon bim in the indictment. Nor were any nick facts specified and confessed in ttie defendant's plea. Murder not appearing to be in the first dogma, is -moraor in me socona degree, tuen. mat., cnap, law. See. 2.1 .......... The first degree of mnrder did not appear in the Indictment, nor did it appear In evidence. The offense, therefore, on this record, is murder in tbe second decree only. Ihese words in the plea, to wit. "ot murder in the tirst degree," are not1 re sponsive to tne indictment, and lo not concern "the premises, in tbe said indictment specified and Cbareed upon him " And thurciore the sentence of death is erroneous. When the court refused to reverse ite decision. a last appeal was made to Governor Bullock for a commutation of the sentence to imprisonment for life. At that hearing, as at several previous hearings, a mass oi testimony from men who hud known Green all his life, and from physi cians who had examined Green in jail, demon strated his ant ot moral sense and accounta bility. The Governor and Council are deaf to that evidence, and seem to hear only the pre vious clamor lor vengeance which the bitrotry and gallows-loving conservatism of Massachu setts have continued to raise, and bv which thev have inflamed the popular mind and perverted me popular love oi justice. Euiope on (lie Eve of War. From the Tribune. The news lroiu Europe continues to be of a very warlike character. Both Austria and Prussia are hastening their military prepara tions with great energy, and a collision, it is ex pected, might tae place at any moment. We no longer hear of efl'orU for the pre.-ervation of peace, but only ol armaments, of mutual charges, and of endeavors to devolve the respon sibility lor the disturbance of the pence of Europe upon the opponent. The sins of the times, at present, not ouly point to a war, but to a war which may at once assume a tearful dimension snd be fraught with far-reaching consequences. Count lilsmark shows that he fuily appreciates the prize which is at stake. If war really does break out, Aus tria will find him a merciless enemy, who, in order to settle torever the struggle between Austria aud Prussia tor the supremucy of Ger many, hi determined to aim at the utter annihi lation ot Austria, Ilia-nark undoubtedly knows the weakness of Austria as well as any Euro pean etatermnn, aud no one can doubt that, he means to avail himself ot all the advantnees which it oilers. Theism, which arrived on Wed nesday at Halifax, brings a report that Prussia has already concluded with Italy a formal treat? ot alliance, aud that considerable armament are in course of preparation in Italy. Tim is a fact ol ominous importance for Austria. The Italian subjects of Austria (about 8,l)u0,0uu) ure unani mous iu tbeir desire to ne disconnected from Austtia and be united with Italy. Tbey will not hesitate a moment to rise in insurrection if thoy have reason to expect aid iroin Itulv. Tho Italian Government has always irankly declare! that it has not abandoned and never will huudon the hope of effecting the aunPttatioo of Venctlo. No more favorable . occasion t&r achieving this end can ever pre.-.out ltselt thuu a ioiut warot Prussia and Italy nilnst Austria. Com tt ncd, the force of ihe two Governments are TUE NEW YORK TIIE DAILY EVENING TEI EGIiAPII. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, vastlv superior to those of Austria. The latter has a population of 35.000,000. but deducting the Italian population, which would show them selves at once openly hostile, and swell the Italian army with volunWer, the number would be reduced to .12,000,000. Should it be possible to call forth another insurrection in lluneary, the power of Austria would b- still more weak ened. On the other hand. Italy and Prussia together represent a population oi more than 40,000,000. or if we add tho Italian sublet ts of Austria, of more than 43,000,000, which is fully ii,ooo,uu() more man Austria in the most favora ble case can rely upon. The only help that Austria can nosslnlT Una in this alarming complication is the Federal Diet of Germany, which, leaving out ol account Austria, Prussia, and the Dutch JTjvinces ot Luxemburg and Limourg, represent a popula tien of about 18,000,000. At prcsont. the ma jority ot the Diet are friendly to Austria, which has generally treated the authority of the Diet v. 1th respect, and tried to concert with ihe minor powers a reorganization of the Federal Constitution. The majority of tbe Diet may, theiefore. be inclined to declare a federal war against Prussia, which, in anticipation of such an event, has threateningly called upon the minor Stales to define tbeir position. Some of the State, however, sympathize with Prussia, and others mav De sufficiently intimidated to refuse to loin in a war against her. and both classes together would, to a large extent, neu tralize fbe etlect of a declaration of war. It is generally expected that in a war in which Austria, Prussia, Italy, and Germany should be encaged. France would not remain neutral. The present intentions of France are not known. Tbe latest advices from Europe state that the Emperor has sent Prince Napoleon to Italy on a secret mission too important to be entrusted to anybody else. The Emperor has never formally r liouuced the design of enlarging the frontier of France to the Rhine, and a war between Aus tilu and Prussia would undoubtedly be a strong temptation to gratify what is still the favorite wisn ot a large portion ot Frenchmen. it win te seen, trom the above tacts, that whether tho prevailing anticipation of a great wi.r may oe realized or not, t:te present compli cation of European politics is certainly ot a f -arful character. The Fenian Troubles in Maine Attitude ot the UiiiLsu Men-of-war. from the Herald. There seems to be imminent danger of a col- lisicn on our Paetern border. Our news des patches indicate the natuie of this danger. ome days ago we published the story that several vessel', with some thousands of Fenians, had left this port on a secret expedition. Tue current repoit was that they were going to the Hermudas; but a portion ol thi Fenian fleet seems to have turned up at Eastport in Maine, the last toot Ik ild on Atncricun soil. Some of the disorderly elements even seem to have trot over the line int.) New Drmiawick, and cut the communication with the Canadian cities. Kathcr the communication was cut; there does not nppenr to be any evidence that it tva-j nut cut by tne Feniuns of the loyal proviuce, and it may easily nave Deen done ny tbose irom the lirltish nr'mv, who are said to have seized this occasion to desert in lanre numbers. There it no evidence that any violation ol tho neutrality has taken place from our side. On the contrary. the Feninn ships reported as touching at East- port on their way to some other point wore de tained mere dy me cusiom-nouso authorities. Thus all the eflervesceut fury was rendered harmless; due notice was given to the New Brunswick authorities to strengthen tbeir frontier pos's, and they availed themselves ot this notice bv reinforcing und adopting other measures to defend Cmupo liello Island, oppo site to Eastport, which it was said the Fenians intended to seize. But thp British naval authorities, as if fearful that the neutrality would not be violated, have adopted the very course most calculated to pre cipitate a collision. The la est now 3 from Ea3 1 port represents two British men-of-war a3 acsiiming a hostile attitude there, with their steam up, ports open, and every preparation made for the commission of any act agairist the peace of our soil or waters that the rash ness oi a not-neaued otneer may suggest. All the elements are ready, and it needs only tne insult of 'this British menace to awaken in tho disturbed quarter a spirit that will not be laid without the shedding of ' blood. If the Fenians have chosen ' New Brunswick or Nova Scotia ior their theatre of operations, they may have been led to do so by the consideration that tbe people ot those pro vinces seem less imbued with that spirit of truculent loyalty to British dictation so manifest in Canada ; but undoubtedly another considera t'on hud a large share in leadiugthem that way. That is just now the sphere in which American hostility to everything British is most likely to be felt. It is the district in which tbe tibhermen me a great power, and in which the question of the fisheries is the all-important one of the day. Fenianism desires to be present at the very point wheie Great Britain and the United States are likely, if anywhere, to be in hostile contact. It may be assumed that their presence in such a sphere will not tend to cool the temper of the people or lead to a more patient discussion of izrievHuces. And if the British authorities as hor-headed as the Fenians in this matter shall meet them bait way, it is probable that those disorderly persons may succeed in compromising the leiations of the two Governments. Our relations with Greut Britain are friendly, and her ships have the right to our harbors, and we have always recognized that right, and nlways shall, in the amplest spirit of hospitality not following in this the niggardly example er often set us by British authorities them selves. But an indelicate use of tbat privilege at the present time is dangerous. A mistaken display of power in our waters; the foolish assumption of an attitude that ships only assume In the waters of an enemy; the menace of open I or ts aud pointed guns, all this can only Irritate, and cannot conduce to thai, moderation and mutual deference of nations towards each other so doubly necessary where there are two possi ble causes of trouble. If there is collision, it will be not only the fault ot the Fenians, but of the British naval uuthontics. We have amply provided against violations of the neutrality Horn our siue, and such provision within our own water certainly nuit be left to us or we cannot be held responsible. The British Reform Bill An Appeal to the People. from the Timet. Deseited by a faction of so-called Liberals, who crept Into Parliament for Whie burghs, under ministerial patronage, at the last general election, Lord Russell proposes taking the bold step of a new appeal to the country, it his Reform bill should be defeated. The only obstacle to such an appeal, since the present Parliament is but a few months old, would be the Sovereign's withdrawing her consent. But no one on either side in this party conflict supposes for a moment that such an obstacle would piesent itself. If Lord Russell had been Frimler nt the time of the late general elec tion, or even if the ministerial programme had then included a measure of Parliamen tary rejorm, tbe constitutional rieht of Lord Russell to advise the Queen to dissolve Par liament might have been doubted. As it is, Lord Russell's Ministry was not in existence at the time when the people were appealed to, ud Lord Palmerston was caretul thai his Gov ernment should not be committed at all on the question oi reform. , Under the British system, therefore, the Queen Will only couloim to constitutional usage in accepting any advice from Lord Russell which will give the' people the power ot pronouncing npou the worthiness of his administration, aud the chnractei of the great measures submitted to Parliament. In similar circumstances, thirty five years ago, tut Sovereign was tor a time the mainstay of the reiciionary party bv refusing to perimt a oisBoiuinn. me Queen's political training has been in tdiflereut school from that ol her uncle. And whatever she can do consti- UuiorWtty to aid her liberal advisers, there U no t'onbt she ill do. iradllv and cheerfully. Mean-' whin, the mere threat of dlspoln'ion is likely to brine fomeot the recalcitrant Whigs to their s rses hetor the day fixed tor the second read Ing oi the bill. The Ftshctlcs Question. from the World. Cone teas having cut olf the American nose to spite the Canadian tnce, and having relusod to stitch it on again by a new ticaty of reciprocity, bleeding is tireaded, and the political doctors are getting out their styptics. Mr. Raymond spoke in the lower House on Tuesday, for the Committee on Foreign Affairs on Ihe fisheries near the Biitirh Province north of us, and the matter indred demands speedy Hdliistment The fishermen trom tho United States and those fr m the ProUnces are as likely to come into collision as they ever were. Eng land'a armed vessels ard curs are in tho neigh borhood, und may prevent or may increase the t-eiiousness of such a collision. Hkippers are more likely to be intent on mackerel than Inter national law, und oflicers like Wilkes are not impossible in cither navv. Ihe rights of American fishermen in the British waters may thus be stated: 1. By treaty none. All our treaties on the sublcct are abrogated, and the riehts and privi leges acquired by Treaty perished with tbeni. They can be revived easily by paving some quid jiro quo, otherwise not. 2. By the law oi nations, these right,: To fish outside ennncn-shot trom tho line of the Canadian shore i. c, outside a marine league from tne const line. Inside that line and dis tance none but Canadians have a right to fish. For. says that highest authority, Laurence's Wbeaton: The riant of fishing in th waters adjacent lo the const of an nation, within its territorial limits, be- loucra exo ns veiy to tho suh.icota of tho Stato. The niirjtime territory ol very sate extends to the poi t, harl ore bays moti ln ot rivors, aud adjacent paits ot thp so. mcio.-ed by bead anus belonging to the some Mate.

II King Alphonso had been present at the cieutton, doiiotie:-s tbis suiiiect would never have pestered nations, lie would assuredly have made their coa-t lines as straight as the bee-line of any ot Kilpalr.ck's retreats. Bui the Cn urordid not eo join sea to shore, and the measuring ot tnis coast line is the problem ot publicists ml now. One ot them, llaiiteteuille, wlo is quoted oy air. L.awreuce, says: I he sea coast dors not present one straight and rep I a r nne; it is, on the contrary, altno-t always li. i reectu by bats, capes, etc. II tbe maritime doii'Biu must ahvavs be measured irom ev-rv one oi tl.efe points ot tue sbote, crea' mnonvcnioucs wou.u re sult I j oni it. It hs. therotoro, boon agreed, in iincico, to a raw an imaginary line trom one promontory to anoiher, and to tano this line as the . point ot flepariuro tor ti e reach oi tho cannon.

Yei this is not u definition which would satisfy a fisherman wbo was ebarp alter mackerel, bake, heinua, a.nri ulewives. Between "small buyi" and "gulls of great extent" there ai numberless lnrger "bays" und smaller "gulls," where mackerel will swim and where fishermen will follow. Fogs and mirages may deceive them as to distances, and, if they could rend the opinions ol law otneers ot the Crown on the sub iett, the tog in their minds would be denser than the foe on tbe waters. If certain "head lands" were known to be but si v miles apart an Ameiican skipper who knew bis duty would not sail inside a riuht line drau between the two. But suppose the hoa Hands were jcven miles apart; then cannon-shot irotn either shore uutu leave uuu n inue ot water in tne miuuie, wncre ne mignt mint no uau a rigtit to nsn And inched it needs no amhme'.ic, but only a knowledge ot tbe human' nature of Yankc? fjbhcimcn, to see that disputes, quarrels, and collisions ure likely to occur with perfectly bontst intentions on both sides, and certain to occur when snuigellnar is so profitable at both ends of the o j age, aud where tho best fisheries are ln-snoie. Our fishermen's riahts are capable of exact definition; the nchts ot tne hshenuen ot Canada, Nova Scotia. New jsrunswicE. and Fnnce Ed w ard's Island are capable of exact definition on paper. Jo write tnem on tne water, so that the fisherman may read, is not so easy. Seines, and not theodolites, are their tools. Yet every American fisherman along five thou sand miles ol coast line must ludge tor himself of di-tances to keep the iaw, and to be quite sure tbat he keeps it, would have to be skilled in trigonometry and fishing without bait, and in loicieeing storms. Why, in 1851, over 100 American vessels were driven ashore on Prince Edn ard's Island, and over 300 lives lost. For to have run to port would have betrayed their in fraction of the law of nations. This, ton, is couclui-ive there are few mackerel left on the shores of the United States, and that fishery can not be successfully carried on except by going within three miles ot tne British shore. What is the value of the interest which hus been imperilled by the folly ot the radicals and protectionists in abolishing instead of amending and liberalizing the Reciprocity treaty of 1854? The United States census report gives very incomplete information on the snblect. The value of the mackerel, cod, etc.. causht by our fishermen was as follows, for the year eiid'ng June, 18(i0: Maine 81.050,755 Massachusetts 2,774 204 Connecticut 281,189 Total 4,100,148 The value of the tisb caught by Provincial fishermen in 1800 (census tables ot the several l'rovinccs) was as follows: Newfoundland sea's excluded $4 440.000 Ivova tiootia cod, mackerel, and bernup. . 2,502 000 New liruuswicK cod, mackerel, hern:ig, ale wives, and bake Prince Fdwara Island cod, mackerel, and herring Lower Cauuda, lesuinato) 888 235 272 532 7u0,0U I Total..... 8 302.767 Mr. Arthur Harvey, Statistical Clerk of the Finance Department, Quebec, estimates the ton nage of the Provinccs;n about 100,000, worth $4,000,000, and that of the United Htutes as pro bably equal. By the gentlemen who attended the Detroit Convention last year, irom the North American Provinces, a document was tiled, containing the following estimates ropecting the operations of the United States fishermen during each of two years oelore and under the treaty in the Day and Gulf oi St. Lawrence alone Mefore Trent y.

Such is the value of the interest Congress voted to impeill who'.ly and destroy in purt. Whatever trouble omes win ne tne proclamation ot their shameful incompetency to administer tbe tiovernment. As it seems to us, oui Northern neigbbois would do best for the r own interest, as well as for ours, to await (as the South for her part is awaiting) returning reason on tue part ot the American people, and the expulsion of the radi cal politicians from the public tracts they have disgraced.

The President s Into proclamation Reem to have been generally Interpreted as restoring tbe privilege of the writ ol hnbons eorpus tp the Slates lately "'n insurrection." This fact hns again directed the public attention to Mr. Pavis. On Tuesday, Mr. Boutwcll. of Massachusetts, offered a scries of resolutions, instructing the Coinmlftef ' on ibe Judiciary lo inquire whether any legislation Is neces sary to bring him and Mr. Clay to trial upon the Infamously false charge of complicity with the assassination of Mr. Lincoln; nnd also upon tbe charge of treason. Against tins ill omened movement of the rii'ilcnls, obviously de. iuntd to bring about the trial ot Mr. Davis be'ore a military commission, Mr. Raymond, of this city, kindly pio'ested. by oilcru'ig resolu tions requeuing the President to take slept for the speedy tilal ot Mr. Davis, upon tne charge of treason, in the Stated Virginia, "or in some other district in which he may be lee ally liable for trial." Mr. Raymond proposed thai these resolutions should be at once put upon their passnge; but Mr. Thaddcus Stevens.the Cleon of the Assembly, insisted that they should bo re leindto the Judiciary Committee, and to this Mr. Raymond, atter some feeble remonstrance, consented. We presume that the committee will make it report at an early day. ') he President informed Congress, on the 2d o1 Fe rtiary.tbnt the ditllculty in the way of the trial i f Mr.' Davis lay in the fact that Chiet Jus t ce Chase, whose circuit embraces the State of Viitlnm, w unwilling to hold a court in that Suite until Congress had "had an opportunity to consider and act. upon the whole subject of the : estoration ot the broken relations of that (State with tbe nation, and the snpersedure there n of the military bv the civil administra tion" The con tlict between the Executive and the Lecislative Departments of tho Government, thi s sharply defined by the Chief Justice as loi g ago as October, has not ceased, and still debus the trial ot Mr. Davi; lor we presume tbat lb- re is no doubt that ho will be tried.
