MacVcagh and tlie Stftr Itente. The Star Koule Inquiry is nervine te eutllnuvcry distinctly tlie features of the nborttve undertaking; te bring; tlie criminals te Juslice. Mr. MaeVengh tellfl the story, be far as he knows It, In u vdy f rnnk way. He bellevca he had the support of Garfield In his endeavor, which tlicre la no doubt that lie sincerely inade. te convict the thieves. It la very doubtful, however, considering Garlleld'a weakness of character, whether his virtue would have lasted te back up hla attorney general te the end. Hefore Garfield's death the thieves strove te sccure MacVcagh'a dlamissil, knew, leg that he would be a rock In their path In dealing with Garfield. When Arthur catne In, they wanted MacVcagh te stay, knowing that they were aafe with Arthur, and understand ing that the appcarancoef a vigorous prosecution would be hotter kept ir it was Icrt in his hands, which would nevertheless be tied by Arthur, se that they would de no harm. Mr. Mac Veagh felicitously describes Arthur ns of the order of practlc.tl polltlcians,while he himself belonged te the sentimental kind. There could net be any harmony of feeling or action between men who looked upon political methods se differ ently, and MacVeagh did undoubtedly a very wise thing in getting away from Arthur and the simulated Star lloute prosecution, which was bound te end as it did. The result showed that he gauged Arthur correctly. The public has been longer in taking the man's me.isure. He stauds better with lb than he deserves. He la a geed deal of a whltcd sepulchre, and anything but a respectable presidential figurehead. The country is deep In the valley of humiliation ; and MacVeigh's picture of it ought te sufllce te persuade the pee pie te take advantage of the opportunity presented te them this je.irte start a line of decent presidents, and bring te an end the list of unseasenabb objects who have se long disgraced the country In Its highest efllce. aayluma and fewcr prisons , or whether the prisons should net be largely con ducted as aayluma for the insane. Theso who commit crimes that they arc ferced into by their temperament may reason ably be considered insane; and if they are conflned se that they can de no harm te coeloty, which society has a light te do de mand, the ends of Justice and mercy are obtained. That object of punishment, which U found in warning ethers net te commit crime, does net serve against theso who are Impelled te It by their physical organization ; and these, who are perhaps the larse body of crlm inals, could profitably be held and ceu firmed as insane ; net, however, in in sane asylums, as we knew them, from which escape Is easy, but iu insane prlsena. The change from present prac tices would be in the management rather than in the institution. BULLY BISMARCK UOTI.YUKNSUKKt) IN THK KKICllbTAU.

Letcher wrote te James Huchanau as fellows, touching the nomination by the Deme-' crata, of James K. Polk for president : " Polk '..Great Ged, whata nomination ! I de really think the Demecratic conven Uen ought te be damned te all eternity for this villainous business '." Mr. Polk, at Hie tlme of his nemlna Hen, was a comparatively ob-cure man, although he had been fourteen jears a congressman, speaker f the federal Heuso of Hepresentatives and governor of Tennessee, but twlcu afterwards was defeated for reelection. Ilia nomination for president, net dreamed of before the convention, iu which en the llrst ballet he did net receive a single vote, wa3 the result of acompremiso by the friends of (Jess and Van Uuren. It breiuht liar ineny te the patty, and victory ; lit formed a cabinet of strui.g men, including James. Huchanau, Hubert J. Walker, Ww. I. Marcy, Gee. Hancreft, Cave Johu Jehu Johu Bennnd Jehn Y. Masen; he conducted a brilliant administration through trying times and quit the presidency without any imputatieu upon his private charac ter or strict personal Integrity ever find ing publ.'c expression, and having par ticularly avoided bending his adminis tration te his own reelection or the advancement el the political fortunes of any of his cabinet. His famous tariff letter te Judge Kane, which carried Pennsylvania for him, was by the way, about the same doctrine as is embediid in the Ohie and Democratic platfenns of 1881. The circumstances which lt.nl espe daily excited the indignation or old Letcher, was the presumption of running such a candidate, against the people's Idel, Henry Claj, who was the Whig nomlnceot that jear. Ilia teelectlen was considered a foregone conclusion, and tlie prospect of it was supp sed te have been heightened by the Democratic nomination of be unexpected a man as Polk. History, we am told, repea's itself. After twice being unhorsed in the na tlenal convention of his own party, Mr lilalne, whom hla friends delight t compare with Clay, seems te be ap preachlng his game new with mero can tlen, If net with less desire. Suppose that he procures the pi Ize; fur a feu weeks his"magueli8ni" may be expected te magnetize his friends ; and then Inter eat will Kettly upon thechoiceof the Deinociatlccetiventlon.

Hut there are four . months' time between tlie date pf the Deinociatle convention and that of the presidential election, and Polk beat Clay after Letcher'u letter te Huchanau was written.

Frank Hand, who has Just hung himself, after killing a dozen men at different times, was probably insane. It Is hard te concelve hew etherwise he would have been the criminal he was. The jury, who convicted him, sent him te the penitentiary for life, instead of hanging him under the idea that he was crazy.

In the Kclehstag, in Herllu, 011 Friday, after the president had been reelected, that functionary announced the death of Hcrr Lasher and of the ethor members who had died during the recess. The deputics re inained stauding as n mark or respect, while the announcement watt being made. Herr Hickcrt, au Indopeudent, speaking, an he explained, en the order of the day, expressed thanks. In the uame of Herr L.tsker's friends, for the unanimous tokens of pympathy whieh had been icecived. He was particularly grateful te the Ameri can Congress for the action of the Heuso of Heprcscutatlvcs. The president informed Ilerr Hickcrt that he was departing from the order of the day. Herr Uatnmcrsteln, in behalf of the Conservatives, ptotested against the notion of Herr Itickert nnd agaiust the ceurse pursued by the American Cen gress. Hcrr Dr. Hacncl, pregressist, admitted that Ilerr Hickert had passed eutside the order of the day, but pointed out that this only showed a defect in the usage of the Heuse lie referred te Hcrr Hickert'a praise of the American Ceugrcss, whero where whero upeu the presidcut reminded him that he tee was departing from the erder of the day, but hocentiuued te speak. He aald that he had, perhaps, broken the rules, but he considered that he was Justitlcd and pleaded extenuating circumstances. "Wheu a body like Cengrrss," he said, "adepts ll.ittcting resolutions, we should pay as much recanl te them as is couseuaut with parliamentary usages." llaren Ven Maltz.ihn contended that the tulea of the Heuso ettered no ground for a statement hlse Ilerr Hickcrt'.", or for any rcferouce te a resolution of a fereign parliament which had net been cfllcially communicated te the Heichetag. Ilerr Heickcrt explained that the Left had interrupted Ilerr Hammersteiu, be cause, contrary te the rules of the Heuse, he had read his statement. The Left, he declared, cared as bttla for her Hammer stein's pretest as they did for the unjusti liable interference of Prince Bismarck. This bold declaration was followed by a great uproar.

As seen as erder was rosterod Herr von Hetticher, imperial secretary of the into tier and representative of the ohanceller, said that he knew absolutely nothing of any interference en the part of Prince Hisruarck. If the latter was requested te inform the Heichstag of resolutions adopted by the American Congress, aud did what he deemed richt in the matter, his action was net subject te criticism. He concluded by protesting against any criticism of Prince Hisruarck. Hcrr Hichtcr, Pregressist, replying te I Hcrr von Hetticher, maintained that ilep I ufies have a perfect right te critioise the I eflicial acts of tue chancellor.
