The public, in their eagerness to supply them
selves with sewing machines making the Gro

them of the parties who alone are authorized to
sell them. All purchasers and users of fraudu-

certain prosecution. Those who have already
been induced to buy these fraudulent machines
can purchase license for their use, before pros

Armed European Intervention I'm the
United states.

The news from Europe by the Africa, which
we publish to-day, is not only Of paramount
interest but sufficient to stir the blood Of every
American. The republic is threatened with
armed intervention in its domestic war by the
chief maritime Powers Of Europe. Our well
informed Paris correspondent-whose letter
will be found among our European intel
ligence to-day-says he has information on the
highest authority that Napoleon will very soon
recognise the independence Of the Southern
confederacy, and that he has pertinaciousy
urged this measure upon the English govern
ment. There is good reason to believe that
England, afraid TO act on her own responsible
lity, Is only too glad to be asked. The Moni.
tem Of January 10 announces that the number
ofpartisans in England for the recognition Of
the Southern confederacy increases, and that
there Is no doubt that many will advocate this
measure in the approaching session Of Parlia-
ment Indeed, the London Herald strongly
urges upon the government the immediate re-
cognition of the Confederates in order that It
may have the merit Of anticipating the action
of Parliament in the same direction. But this
is not all. The recognition of independence is
only the first step in the programme. France
and England are we'll aware that their
mere recognition of the independence of
the Southern confederacy would avail but

and to give blow to democracy. Their motto
is dioide ct impera; and so they intend to play
over again the game they played in Greece.
The Observer remarks that there will be no
-Navarino this time, because, forsooth, the in
tervention would be gladly accepted by the
Confederates, would give satisfaction to every
man in the Northern States who has anything
to lose, and would be approved by the whole
world. Let not the Observer be too sure in its
reckoning. That the Confederates in their des-
perate circumstances, would as gladly accept
such mediation as did the rebellious Greeks,
when they were nearly subdued by Turkey, we
have not the slightest doubt. But the parallel
is not complete. Turkey is not the United
States. There are two sides to bargain. Let
not the organ of the British government imagine
that because we yielded to the demand for the
surrender of Mason and Slidell, which was only
in accordance with the uniform record of this
country, and in harmony with the rights of
neutrals, which our statesmen have always ad-
vocated, we will therefore tamely submit to an
affairs, contrary to the well established princi-
pies of international law. 1t is not true that
foreign Intervention would give satisfaction to
any considerable number of persons in the
Northern States nor is it true that "the actwould
be approved by the whole world" 1t would be
reprobated by the people of every nation as a
highhanded outrage, and would only receive
the sanction of despots. Turkey was compelled
to succumb because she was an effete nation,
with the three leading Powers of Europe against
her, and with no friends to depend upon for
aid. This is not exactly our condition. We
are young and vigorous nation, with vast
resources, and, instead of the same three
Powers being against us, we will probably have
one of them-Russia-on our side. Russia apd
the United States would prove more than a
match for the two Western Powers. Nor will
the Northern Powers-Prussia, Sweden and
Denmark-take any part in the lawless Anglo
French movement. sour government says
the Observer "and that of France will be called
upon to repeat what was done in the case
Of Greece. No one can doubt our power, or
the beneficial effect of such an Intervention" F"
That the governments of Fzance and England
have already been SCALED upon" by the ennis
saries of the South to repeat the drama they
performed in the case of Greece is extremely
probable; but that they will be called upon
by single Northern man we emphatically
deny. None will dispute our power" quoth
the selfcomplacent journalist Let him not
lay that fattering JUNCTION to his soul. 1t will
be disputed to the last extremity. And so far
from the effect of such an Intervention being
beneficial in stopping the effusion Of bic o l,
never did blood flow till then; for the area Of
the strife would be extended all over Europe as
well as the continent of America, and all ma
tions would mingle in the worldwide conflict.

time that would be consumed on the construc-

clare the existing routes military roads, and
compel them to connect so as to run through

MOB GovERNMENr--So much has been written
by LID. Russell and others to fill the minds
of the English people with the idea that this
country is ruled by mob, that the absence Of
any mob interference whatever in the settle
ment of the affair of the Trent seems to have
astonshed as well as disappointed the British
press, contradicting, as it does, all its predc-
tions on the subject. We remember how Mr..
Russell prophesied that the mob would not
allow Mason and Slidel to be given up, what
ever Mr.. Seward might think and how again he
said that if they were given up the Union would
be dead from that moment. These predictions
have proved quite in keeping with the one
telling us that before the end of last December
all the banks would be involved in the mael-
strom of general financial ruin; or that which he
made soon after his arrival in America, to tie
effect that the North would never be aroused to
take up arms against the South.
The English journals, finding their repeated
assertions contradicted by the pacific and
statesmanlike settlement of the Trent difficulty
now appear both surprised and disappointed,
and fling their abuse at the New York newspa-
pcrs and things American generally. The hos
tity of the English press towards US is, indeed,
even more virulent since the receipt Of tho
news of the surrender of Mason and Slidcll
than II was before. The mob, a favorite nurse
ling of British journals, having proved myth
cal, they still find plenty Of substance to fall
back upon, and their attacks upon our institu-
tions and press are truly edifying.

FRAUDULENT CoNTRAcToRs.-The dishonesty
Of government contractors is proverbial, and
we have had some prominent instances Of it
in the equipment of the recent naval and \
military expeditions to Hatteras Inlet,
Port Royal and Pamlico Sound. Wherever
an opportunity for defrauding the government
presents itself, it seems to be the first rule of
contractors conduct to take advantage of it,
or, in other words, as the war cannot last for
ever to make hay while the sun shines. To such
an extent has this species of cheating been car
ried that we think it would be a very good
thing for the country if immediate effect was
given to the proposed bill to hang and confis-
cate the property of contractors discovered in
the preparation of frauds resulting in the injury
Of unsound provisions, and to punish with i'm
prisonment and confscation of property only
those guilty of less serious offences.
In the case of the Burnside expedition it has
been proved that gross Misrepresentation was
practised by those furnishing the vessels Of
the fleet. Mere river freight boats were painted
black and called gunboats, and vessels that
were said to draw only seven and eight
feet had draft. as was afterwards discovered,
of fourteen feet. The water casks turned out,
in many instances, to be kerosene oil and cam
phene barrels, and the water they contained
was consequently unfit for use. Such vessels as
many of the hundred and twenty-five comprising
the expedition ought never to have been sent
to sea under such circumstances. They were
unfit for the purpose, even without the draw
backs of being short of coal, il!-ballasted and
with defective machinery. That the expedition,
in all its details, was not more carefully inspect
ed before its departure, is a reproach to the
government officials concerned; but for the will
ful frauds of the contractors implicated there is
no excuse, AMI we trust that the matter will be
thoroughly investigated, and the crimes Of con-
tractors visited in future with the punishment
which such rascality deserves.

The HUNTER AND LANE IMBRoGLIo.-We have
all along believed that General Jim Lane
like the long lane of the proverb, would
have turn, by and by, and General Hunter
seems to have given it to him recently. In
general order, which we published yesterday,
Major General Hunter announces that he in
tends taking command of the Southern over
land expedition in person, unless expressly
ordered not to do so by the government. This
pricks Lanes balloon nicely. For some time
Lane has been Dragging that this was "his" ex-
pedition, and that he was to command it and
do what he pleased with it. Now he sinks into
the comparatively Insignificant position of one
Of nine brigadier generals under Major General
Hunter. The public could scarcely hear more
welcome news. Congress and the country have
been disgusted for months with the Dragging
and Boosting, the pompous assumptions, the
false reports of conversations with the President
and the general Munchausenisms of this swag-
gering, jayhawking, bushwhacking border ruff
though inelegant nickname of 1.-THE blower
From the style in which lie talked about "his'
plans and "his' soldiers; the way in which he
threatened to free and arm all the negroes he
met, whether the administration liked it or not,
and the manner in which he promised "his"
soldiers negro apiece to enable them to 'play
gentleman" it began to be understood that
there were two commanders-in-chief Of our
armies, and that President Lincolns COM
mand ceased at the Mississippi, where Lanes
began. We have no doubt that Old Abe,
having endured the impertinence of this impu-
dent fellow long enough, has q hand or foot
in his present summary squelching. AS far as
the expedition is concerned, Lane knew as
little Of good generalship as he did of good
manners or good grammar, and the public will
be glad to hear that the position he assumed is
to be filed by an able, experienced and trust
worthy army officer. AS for the rest, we trust
that Lane and his abolition admirers are be-
ginning to learn that the country has Presi-
dent who can make himself obeyed, and a po-
licy which is identical at the West and East
alike, and in the overland as in any other expe-
dition. 1t is the general opinion that General
Lane talks too much to fight well-barking
dogs seldom bite-and we are sure that he will
be shot for mutiny if he carries his present
tactics into the military service.

over, and the condition of the Levant restored
to what it had been for centuries. 1t is in
similar crisis that two of these Powers now pro-
pose to intervene under similar pretexts.
On the 20th of October, 1927 the combined
squadrons of England, France and Russia sud-
denly and steslthily entered the Bay of Ma
varino, where the Turco-Egyptan feet was
moored, and without warning was preparing
for hostile action. The Turkish feet, though
overmatched, gave battle, and fought with
heroism and desperate valor for four hours. till
the Sultan's magnificent armament was de-
stroyed. The result was momentous. Ibrahim,
the Sultan's lieutenant, retired from the Morea
to Egypt, with the chief part Of his army, and
division of French troops, landing under Mar
shal Naison completed the independence Of
Greece. By this "untoward event." as the
Duke Of Wellington termed it, Turkey was left
defenceless before Russia, and it cost within the
last few years bloody war with the Muscovite
by his former allies who had helped him to ac-
complish it.
This Intervention was the less excusable as the
Allies had but recently intcrfered to put down
another revolution in Europe. In the case Of
Belgium and Holland, in 1880, they encouraged
the revolution and, by recognizing the inde-
pendence Of Belgium, violated their own treaty
Of Vienna, by which they had guaranteed the
union of those two States--that treaty by
which the royal robbers Of Europe had cut up
and parcelled out kingdoms at pleasure.
In the troubled waters of China these allies
recently fished. They are now interfering in
Mexico, exhausted by her long wars; and they
propose to interfere next in the United States,
when they are not exhausted at all, but are on
the eve Of crushing the rebellion-thc very
consummation they want to prevent. Their
policy is to break up powerful maritime rival,
