Mr. Hudson re-' presented Sunderland in the. House of Com? an ons, In the Interest of the Conservatives, "?fom 1S45 to 1869; In the day of his almost unrivalled prosperity, he wielded an Influence' as commanding aa that of John Law' himself, but BO little impression was made by his death on tte' public mind that the lac: was not transmitted to America by the ocean cable. ; -W. E. Barrett, the travelling salesman Ot a New York firm, who was convicted by a' Richmond, Virginia, court of selling goods without a State license, and Imprisoned on his rerusal to pay the line Imposed, was brought before the Radical Judge Underwood, of the United Stares District Court, at Alexandria, fi on the 29th ul t.,and discharged. Judge Under? wood bolds that the Virginia license laws are repugnant to the Constitution of the United .States. The attorney-general, who appeared for the Commonwealth, appealed from this de? cision to that of the United States Circuit Court. -The Russian Grand Duke Alexis and party are about to start'on a buffalo bunt In the Northwest. The party will proceed to the I i -North Platte Station on the ducal train, where ' all the servants will be left doling the absence . of the party on the hunt, which will Tike them from the raQway some six or eight days. It is trie intention of all those who go to the hunt ing grounds to take up a military mode of life, and dispense with luxuries, servants, car? riage*, ic. The. Journey between the North Flatte and the bufSalg region w}U be made on horseback and in ambulances, and ?be Rus? sians will be treated to a specimen cf roughing lt Iii winter on the plains. ' -Through tickets around tue world are now isrued, the price being f 1145 in gold, and the Tunning time eighty-one days., The line ot route, going westward, is from New York to San Francisco, say 3000 miles; San Francisco to Yokohama, 4700; thence to Hong Kong, 1600 miles; thence to Calcutta, 3500 mijes; thence to Bombay, 1400 miles; Bombay to <8ne>Y30O0 mires j from Suez, by. the way of Alexandria and Brindisi, tb London, say 2300 miles, and from Landon to New York, 3200 miles. When the projected Improvements of the Indian route are curried into effect across Europe, and a great continental railroad is established, with proper branches and connec? tions through Asia, the trip around the world will be shorter in duration and space, and at the same time much more interesting. -The London Times tells the story of an old "Tichborne case" which happended three -hamlred years ago in France. Martin Guerre ' married at the age of eleven, and after living with bis wi:"e ten years-during which period ' they had one child-he ran away. At thc end of eight years a man appeared, whose claim to the long-lost Martin was at once acknowledged by the. truant's wlie and the rest of the family. Por three years there was no question of the Identity of the new-comer with the errant hus? band, and when finally it was disputed, the wife and many cf ihe relatives affirmed lt. Two trials took place, in which the conflict of evidence was. remarkable, Atty witnessed on each side giving contradictory testimony. The case was determined by the appearance of the real Martin, of whom the impostor had been an intimate associate during a long cam? paign. The rogue, who had thus betrayed his friend's confidence, was condemned to be banged and burnt. . -The last batch ol the Tichborne evidence ' to band is interesting. The last witness ex. amined when the mall left was Hr. Locock Webb, the chancery bank ter, who drew the original "bin" for the claimant. This witness said the claimant exhibited a "perfect knowl? edge" of the contents of several deeds relating to the estate; but, with regard to the name of the vessel which picked him up at sea and conveyed him to Melbourne, there was some uncertainty. The claimant "thought" it was the Osprey, and no name was mentioned in the bill. The witness said, in reply to a re? mark of the ohlel Justice, that the case could haye been settled in a month in chancery. The chief justice strongly denounced the con? duct of an attorney engaged in the case, who tad printed and circulated a large number of affidavits which had been filed on behalf of the plaintiff. They contained a description of marks and peculiarities by wblch the claimant bad been, it was said, Identified by many per? sons. The chief justice said this was "scan? dalous" conduct. -The "sUver Btreak of sea" between Dover and Calais still troubles the travelling English? man and the excursive Frenchman. The latest proposition is to IUD a line of ferry 1 boa's, similar in,thelr general features to plying between this city and Brooklyn i Jersey shore, from Dover to Calais. Tb ls to consist of three large steamers, o which Is always to be kept In reserve. Bteamers are to be four hundred and flit in length, fifty feet wide at the watet thirty-two feet in depth from deck to bo and propelled by paddle-wheels Atty fe diameter. They are to be driven by en amounting to seven thousand horse pi The two wheels are to be independei their action, so that the vessel may be ti about or brought alongside of a easily. On the lower deck double lin rails will be laid, each line capable of ho fifteen railway cars. The passage is t made in between seventy and ninety min Six trips are to be made each way dail which it is thought some two thousand pa gers and two thousand tons of goods ci transported every day. It is estimated the three steamers will cost $2,000,000, to enable them to land on the French co new dock will have to be built at Calais. French Government has been asked to this dock, to grant an annual subBldy of i 000, and other privileges. It is said by ! that this line can be made ready for us twoyear3anda half from the time that i ls begun, whi:e others think that five 3 at least will be required to build the do< Calais. A cable dispatch from Paris says the committee appointed by the French 8embly to examine the project, made a re yesterday approving lt. An Unjust Judge. The address of Judge Bond to the coi sing Ku-Klux prisoners, printed elsewt is both unjust and unbecoming. It is tomary for a judge to show to a prisoner gravity of the crime for which be has I convicted ; but, even in these days of poli! judgeships, it is a monstrous wrong whi high judicial officer sullies the ermine dishonors himself by wantonly malignity people whom his forefathers, at least, Bpected and understood. We Hay, once and for ali, that the cri revealed in the course of the Ku-Klux tr are horrible and revolting, in the extre and cannot find any justification orexcns* the wrong-doing ef the State Governm and its officials. Judge Bond tells us t Ku-Kluxism, or Lynch Law, is, in some cai justifiable. He says that, "in any other par "the United States" the citizen "upon wh "such outrages were perpetrated, Btu og "madness by the insult to his manho "would be swift to follow the wrong-d "to the end of the world to make bim atc "for it." Io other words, circumstances rr arise which warrant the individual in taki tbe law into bis own bands. Thia is the dec ration of Judge Bond ; and the secret orga zation formed in the upper part of the S ts contemplated nothing more than his wot would cover. If we understand its pl aright, it proposed to punish those gui! persons whom the courts, for political re sons, declined to touch. It did not sanctti sr encourage the disgusting deeds which ba seen described in the United States Com These deeds are regarded witb abborren ind loathing by every intelligent citizen .he State. The culprits are, as JuJge*Boi idmits, in a state of deplorable ignoranc ind the responsibility for this ignorant lie endeavors to fasten upon tbe Democrat af South Carolina. While he recognizes tl callousness and depravity of the prisoner who speak of "a brutal and unprovoke " murder, done by themselves, with as litt " apparent abhorrence as they would relat "the incidents of a picnic," be lends a wil ing ear to their excuse that they were force into the Klans by the men of property, " wo "held them in abject slavery." Buttbetrut is mightier than Judge Bond's partisan rh? torie All the sleuth hounds ol the Govert ment, all their soldiery, ail their spies an informers, all their convenient witnesses have uot succeeded* in connecting bali dozen respectable citizens With the whir, pings and ravisbings In which his jordlcia aonl delights. Scores, nay! -hundreds, c citizens, of high and low degree, were or rested, but not more than two or tbree men of even moderate prominence, have, to on knowledge, been tried and convicted. Th Court was anxious to seize the leading mei of tbe St lite,? whom the Radical organs de eldred to be at the bead of the Kn-Klu: Klan. They have not been found. And tbi reascif is, that none other than the most;ig norant and .besotted of the whites of tb< mountain districts had any part in the act; irbicb Judge Bond describes. The respecta? rte citizens of the Stale are to blame foi forming a secret political organization, un ler the cloak of which ignorant men have committed crimes which bring a blush to rivery honest cheek. But the founders of the organization, whoever they were, are not gnilty of these crimes, and detest them nore earnestly than a partisan Judge can Io. The outrages were confined to counties where the class of ignorant whites was nu? merically strong. In the low country not one ict of Ku-KIuxism bas been committed. Bat n the border-districts the men of " deplora 1 ble ignorance " could not be restrained, sven, if their infamous behavior was general y known. The attempt was made and it ailed. From Judge Bond we expected nothing jut rancor and abuse, and we are not dis? jointed in his acts or in bis words. He is playing for high stakes, and, if lhere is .my gratitude in;, Presidents, these Ku-Klux trials will briDg bim a rich and speedy re? ward. Others of his race, less worldly wise, bave been content in the possession of the ?steem and respect of their countrymen. To this old-fashioned reward of a pure and honorable life, Judge Bond, we fear, would eainly aspire.. The Modern Novel. It is not too much to say that the modern lovel is the form of literary art through vhich the creative faculty bas done tbe most 'or the delight and instruction of mankind. The great epics-the Iliad, the Bible, and be Nibelungen-have, of course, in both re? gards, teld great places in literature. Tra? gedy was an important element in the daily ile as well as in the civilization of the athenians. The English and German 1 ram a 3 are important facts in the histo? ries of those races. The essays of the ast century exercised a large influence apon that era, and in all times tbe lyric nose has touched the hearts and swayed the will of mankind. But DO one of these forms >f art, regarded aa the means of pleasing or >f teaching men, stands on the same level is the modern novel of the English type, and the reason is not far to seek. It hes in the principle that man is the object Of na? tore, that most intejests man, and that in? terest and sympathy among men are in the ratio of their similarity. The gods and he? roes of the epos are too far from ns, and their story is too grand to be entirely plea? surable. The passions of classic tragedy are entirely out of the circle of to-day's ex? perience. The fierce curses and agonies of Prometheus on his rock, and the awful re? morse of JEdipus, make us shudder and turn aside. The modern drama, powerful as it is, is cramped still by the unities and the necessities of the stage. Lyric poetry, to borrow the metaphor of its great master, is only a bee that skims along ami sips its delicious honey from the flowers of life. The essay is comparatively feeble, because it is simply didactic. It is the novel which is the great drama of our every-day life. There move men and women like to ourselves. It portrays the passions, the cares.the joys that make np the life of every one of us. The great problems of the world, the misfortunes of virtue, the successes of vice, the misery of hope, the insufficiency, of fruition, the longiogs for happiness, the 6ensenof insecu? rity which darken it when present, the grim spectre of death ever present in the back? ground, all appear in this wonderful panorama aa they appear to ns. And on this scene, sexual love asserts itself, as it does in real life, as the central fact of society. It is no wonder, then, that the novel furnishes to all conditions of men the greatest part of their literary pleasure, aod ft very large parL of their moral teaching. Which of us is not wiser and happier for the "Newcomes,' "Vanity Fair," and "Esmond." It is be? cause of thiB significance of the novel that i new one by so ?kilful a worker a3 George Eliot is an important literary event. The chance that we may, in the coming year, have a pleasure such as that we had in Adam Bede, the Mill on the Floss, Romola | or Felix Holt, is one by which we will all lay some store. It is impossible here to show with any particularity, by an examination of | the works mentioned, what hopes they justify for the future. It is enough to say, in a general way, ' that they are earnest of a degree of power not found in any novel eince Thackeray ceased to write. Only six chapters of Middlemarch have thus far appeared. The scene is laid at the country seat of Mr. Brooke, with whom re Bide bis pretty nieces, Dorothea and Celia Brooke. Dorothea is fail of Berious, we may say, grand views of life, and prefers to Sir John Cbeltam the neighborly squire, a cler? gyman of fifty years, Mr. Cas aub OD, who is engaged upon a great theological work, and who talks and writes even ol the passion of | love in a very rhetorical way. In the sixth chapter a Mrs. Cadwallader appears, who is matter-of-fact, clever, of Incisive speech-in? deed, very mach of an educated Mrs. Poyser. As lar as it goes, the work is well done. The equire, although be basBpoken bot little, isa skilfully drawn specimen of the bucolic type. The enthusiasms of Dorothea are well brought out, and Mrs. Cadwallader has only to keep her pace to give us mach pleasure. Cosan? bonis an unnatural prig, and the surrender to bim of Dorothea would be aggravating .in the extreme if the reader did not see in the act the seed of the punishment that awaits her for it- There is, on the whole, nothing in these six chapters which makes us fear that George Eliot's band has lost its cunning, or doubt that in Middlemarch onr readers have mach pleasure in store. PERHAPS the Northern newspapers which have been chuckling over the statement that the residence of the late John C. Calhoun had been bought by "a respectable colored "man" will now be enterprising enough to tell the truth, which is, that the purchaser of J Fort Hill was Colonel Clemson, the son in law of Mr. Calhoun. As trese presses have bad the benefit of the falsehood, they may as well make the most of the contradiction. fiostc?Lcr's Bitters. WIN TE B-PE O O F SYSTEMS. Tbtck boote and flannels are necessary tunis season, but tbe Unman frame requites something more than these to renner lt winter-proof. The Inner man, as weil as the outer surface of the body, must be protected. The raw, moist, chilly winds which prevail at this season transpierce the warmest clothing, and are apt to effect the health unfavorably, both through the pores and the respiratory organ?. The tnrest way to avert the evil ls to strengthen the internal machine, and thUB enable it to repel the devitalizing in? fluence of unwholesome weather. Enrich the blood, gently stimulate the circulation, regulate the bowels, invigorate the stomach, tone the liver, and brace the nerves with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, and no condition of the at? mosphere, however Inclement, no variation of th? barometer or thermometer, however sudden, wi have power to disorder the system thus fortified la advance, and put in perfect working order. Damp and cold, acting upon a sensitive or feeble organization, may produce consumption, dip therla, neuralgia, rheumatism, dyspepsia, liver complaint, low nervous fever, or intermittent fever; the importance of rendering the system im? pervious to these two destiuctive elements is therefore obvious. Persons in delicate health, or who a eat all liable to be injuriously effected by atmospheric Influences, should take the B1TIEKS dally throughout the winter and Fpiing. Jn lh i way dangerous diseases may be waned orr, and a condition of perfect health preserved by indi? viduals of comparatively feeble physique, while those more robust, who scoff at precautions, are suuVrlng the penalty of their recklessness tn hos? pitals and sick rooms.
