KEPUDLH'AN OR COSSACK. It wns Napoleon Bonapnrt who said, nt St. Helena wo believe, that within II11 ty years Europe would be Republican or Cossack^ Within much less tlmn that period (in 1S4H) l<*u-opo was practically one vrtBt battle field, the Republlcad ;? tid Cossack meeting everywhere face to faoe Jn contest for sole empire. Of course, here, ns In Bonaparte's prediction, the Cossack ind Republlonn are used u> sig nify the principles or forces respectively of fredom Rod despotism. The struggle of 1848, however, wan not decisive, al though.the Cossack secured seemingly a stronger hold over northern and eastern Europe, while tho republicans held only a prepjirlouB looting in southern and western Europe. It was a drawn game bo far as the whole of Europe was con cerned. When Germany, representing the Cos sack, Invaded France and overthrew Lou is Napoleon, it wasa curious but natural ly inevitable result that tho Republican arose tostay the Cossack advance, and, in spite of Bismnrk, establish a republ.c in France, ' Imperial France was defeated, but In t(?e very moment of victory the Cossack wa? repuJsod l Today the Cos sack and tho Repucllean are again ma king rendytto try conclusions?for that, ever since 176ft, Is wljat a geueial Euro pean war meant, no matter whnt may lie its Immediate causes, nor what bu its professed objects.

Till-: ji'DU'Iaiiy coMMtniK of the Pennsylvania legislature has reported a hill w hich deals an efleetive blow to jury llxcrs by repealing the condition which ret)ttired the unanimous vo'c of a jury to convict or acquit, and Mihstituting there for :i two-thiids vote. It is alleged, in justification of this departure from the ancient requirement ol a umiiiimous ver dict, thiit tlio commonwealth is ium'^ks: - lily handicapped when it is required to furnish twelve men to convict, \\ liile the defense has only to furnish one loan to prevent a conviction. There seems to be. sound reason in this, and if l'eunsyl vania succeeds in stemming the tide of bribery and corruption which is said to | overflow the jury system of that JSlate, the change will, no doubt, be generally adopted, wheicver the old jury system prevails.
