The REIGN OF TERRORISM AT HANp.-The
Tribune of yesterday makes savage onslaught
on Mr. Cranston, the proprietor OF the New
York Hotel, for refusing to allow bis establish
ment to be identified with the republican or
yanization by the suspension OF campaign ban
ners from its walls. II insinuates that be was
responsible for the riot of Tuesday evening. and
threatens him with the destruction of his pre-
misses, in the event of his allowing any luckless
.rassers by to shelter there, who may be made
the victims of the drunken frolics Of the rowdies
at the republican headquarters opposite.
There is not in the city quieter or more re-
specially conducted establishment than the
New York Hotel, or a landlord who makes him
self less obnoxious to the political parties of
clhe day than its proprietor. He was no more
censurable for the events of Tuesday last than
any other householder in the nefghbo rhood, and
If he did not close his doors against the persons
who were assailed by the rioters from over the
way, it was not because of his political sympa-
thies with the former. His establishment IL an
open one and free to all comers whether they
be republicans or democrats; and supposing all
the Tribune states in regard to the origin Of the
riot to be true, which it VIGOROUSLY is not, be
could not have prevented it. He acted just as
every landlord, who had a due regard to bis
own interests and the character Of his house,
would have acted under the cir
: cumstances, by refusing to identify him
self with either side. His non. compliance
with the request to allow Lincoln banner to
be suspended from his walls was consistent with
this determination, and it is unreasonable in the
extreme to find fault with course at once 80
impartial and prudent.
There can be no greater proof of the lengths
to which the republican party are prepared to
carry their tyranny than the fact of one of their
leading organs threatening with personal
violence and the destruction of his
property a respectable citizen who demurs
to having his establishment identified with
their interests. The cool disdain with which
they treated the remonstrances of the people
against their plundering schemes in the two
last Legislatures finds fitting climax In these
ferocious threats. Nothing more was wanting
: to complete the parallel between thema the
Jacobins and sans culottes. We are now on the
. eve Of reign of terrorism, In which nocturnal
clubs with semi military organization, whose
deeds court darkness, are to play the chief
part Let all those who have something to lose
take heed in time. Should this desperate fac
I Hon gain the ascendancy under President Of
: xheir own choosing, rapine and violence will
do their worst on all opposed to them.

THE QrEEs.-As the Prince of Wales approaches
the metropolis the public interest In everything
that appertains to him and the royal family of
England is on the increase Her Majesty the
Queen, always much respected in the United
States has been made the subject Of o lecture,
: delivered In this city the other day. 1t was
rather curious production altogether, II We
. may Judge BY the sketch we have reprinted 10
another column, and the free and easy way
in which the lecturer dealt with royalty is quite
amusing. We are told that the Queen eats
heartily and drinks Alsopps ale at lunch; that
/, she used to tickle the nose Of the Iron Duke
when be fell asleep after dinner; that her hus-
band knows her weak points; that she isfond
of American ladies and German games, and that
altogether Victoria Is very excellent person
y gentle sovereign, o good wife and a fond
mother-all of which Is quite true. As for the
Prince, be receives an equally good character
at the hands Of the lecturer, whose gossip Il
pleasant and whose garrulity Is not at all tire
some.
With regard to the general subject OF the
Princes visit, We hear that ell the arrange
: ments for bis metropolitan reception are pro-
: guessing well. II appears that the ball ct the
Academy will be the only affair Of the kind
that the Prince will attend in this country. The
DostoniAns talk Of something of the sort, but 1t
: u not probable that there will be time enough
/, FOR the arrangements to be completed In the
Western cities the Prince makes only brief
,halts. In Washington the President viii
give him State dinner, but no
ball. In Baltimore no arrangements
for his reception have been made, so far Is we
IRE informed. The Philadelphians are so much
.ashamed at the scenes Of rowdyism which dis
graced their city upon the arrival OF the
japanese Ambassadors that they have con-
cluded not to try to do anything with the
Prince. As our ball will be the only one which
II. r. H. will attend In the United States, no
expense nor trouble should be spared to make
II display such a. has never before been seen
In this country, and scene to be remembered
~ long as the participants shall live. With re-
gard TO the much vexed question a. to who
shall dance with the Prince, we perceive that
the journals, without exception, take our view
Of the matter, namely-that after giving his
hand to the nearest lady relatives Of the lead
Ing officials Of the city and State, the guest Of
Che evening shall be left free to select his own
