|. York are an ample set of against the heaviest
Of the Confederate disasters. They will
prove, We. believe, on the contrary, the seal
ters forbode. While We equally deplore and
| rerrobate that deyilish outburst Of savage
harbaris1n In one Of the capitals Of ciyiliza-
ton, we cannot Fhut our eyes to Its compen-
sating results It is but a. sYmptom-the
most violent but the most exhaustive the
ualady that would have eaten out the heart
Of the Union If 1t had not. BY repeated erup-
tione, been thrown out to the surface. Every
g1eat city is at The mercy, for eight and forty
| Goure. Of Its eubterranean classes. There are
rufIlans enough in London or Liverpool to
rerest the scenes Of 17S0. It would be two
days and nights before respectabi1ity, scared
ard disguised, would collect its senses, Or
But tie repression is always inevitable. In
New York the revolt seems to hare run its
course almost unopposed from the morning
Of Monday. the 18th, to the night Of Tuesday,
the 14th- Then authority began to exert il
self IN earnest, and the rioters we're checked
in their reyel Of fire and blood. It began in
resistance to the CONSUMPTION. It soon ex-
tended itself to brutal aggression upon the
regro population and their friends. lnst1gat-
ed, and perhaps organized, by politicians OF the
Fernando Wood school, 1t presently exceeded
all political guidance or control. Its leader Was
q Virginian. Its agents were those inyasiab1e
constituents Of New York mob-the roughs,
roWdies, and immigrant laborers. whose ha-
tired to the negro is only equalled By their
love Of drink and riot. It was not In the na-
ture Of such men to be content with resistance
to an obnoxious though lawful process. IN
cendiarlsm and murder is the pastlme In
which they indulge when prfmed py gin and
whiskey to their 1aWless work. Aided ut first
by the connIvunce Of men politically dlsafIect-
I'd, they soon began to indulge In brutalities
the mere suspicion Of concurrence III which
would be fatal to q political reputation. Fifty
negroes are eaid to have been killed In this
awful carnival Of Southern sympathy aud city
eayagery. It may be hoped that the report Is
greatly In excess Of the fact; but no doubt
that unhappy people have suffered greatly.
Policemen, soldiers and citizens have also
been Killed; Public and private buildings
been attacked. There is but one power In
the Civilized world that would have guided to
deeds Of such atrocity. It is the old pro-sla-
very spirit, 60 long dominant, brt lately sub
tlnal struggle. OF tho Issue no ore can have
doubt. Tho CONSUMPTION may or may not
proceed In New York But Of this we arc
sure; every negro murdered by the pro-sln.
very earagcs Of that city will be worth a thou
sand soldiers to the cause Of the Union and
the proclamation of freedom. Hcnceforth 1t
viii be point Of honor with every decsnt
citizen to stand by the Government that Is
assailed By fncendiaries and butchers.

THE RUSSIAN REPLY TO AUSTRIA
The Russian reply to Austria is published.
The substance Of it Is contained in The follow
ing:
As to tie deliberations at o conference In
which all tho Powers that signed the general
treaty Of Vienna On June Q, 1876, should take
part, We do not Shut our eyes to the interest
which these Powers ought to take in the pres
ent situation Of that country, inasmuch is 1t
can disturb tho general 1epose aud equilibri.
I'M founded By the treaty in which they took
part; nor do We contest tlei- right to inter
pref the meaning Of that art according to
their own views. But we cannot admit either
the oppo,tuneness or the practical utility of
submitting to their deliheration questions
connected with the most Intimate details Of
the administration Of the kingdom. Nogreat
Power could accept such direct Interference
In its internal nIIa!rs; and besides, 1t is not
either in tbs spirit OF In the letter Of cxisticg
treaties, and would only have the effect Of
throwing back the pacidcation to which the
wishes and the efforts of the Powers are tend
Ing, by increasing the pretcnstonB of tue Po-
lish agitatoEs Us Ill tho prestige which it
would remove from the sovereign authority.
Count do Rechberg, in making his eventual
adhesion dependent on such combination Oil
the previous consent Of the Russian Cabinet,
las 1imEe.f fores secu, with sentiment of dig
nifty which our august master bus fully appre-
ciated, the impcssibitity Of cur admitting it.
