The SITUATION IN South AND CENTRAL
AMERroA.-The condition of the States Of South
America is anomalous and almost incompre-
hensble. While their interests would certainly
direct them towards unity, as matter Of self
protection, their predictions appear to tend
towards perpetual dsunion. Recently the
republics Of Salvador, Bolivia, Columbia, Chile,
Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela have entered
into an alliance defensive against the European
Powers-against each other in case of hostili-
ties between the States. We publish the treaty
to-day, from which it will be seen that these
States have enunciated Monroe doctrine for
South and Central America. II Is not long ago
since another treaty both offensive and deien-
sive was made between the empire of Brazil
and the republics Of the Oriental confederation
and the Argentine confederation against Para
quay. The object Of an alliance with an imperial
government on ne part Of these two republics
against sister republic may well be CUES

The influence OF this Republic upon tn
Governments OF Europe.

Governments OF Europe.
The result Of the recent elections in England
has been q gain Of twenty-four members Of
Parliament for the liberal party. This gain,
with no great question before the country, is
very decided. The liberal party, which is
combination of the ministerial and the reform
parties, is that which contains all the friends Of
this republic. II IL true that the ministerialsts
did not display any very warm sympathy for
us during the late war but the true liberals,
such as Bright and Golden, undoubtedly did
all in their power to assist US. The ministeri-
alists were, however, in favor of non-interven-
ton, and even this neutrality appears friendly
when contrasted with the open enmity Of the
opposition or conservative party, led by DIS
force the government to recognize the South,
and by Roebuck, who frequently announced
that the only safety for England was the dis
membcrment and destruction of the United
States. Compared with such conservatives,
Lord Palmerston's government was liberal
indeed.
The triumph of the liberals is, therefore, the
triumph of this republic reacting upon English
politics. BY common consent, the American
question, in its direct shape, was almost entirely
dropped during the canvass, since neither the
government nor the opposition felt that they
had any claim for credit in connection with
our affairs. But the main issue of the election
was the reform question, and that Is merely the
American question in another shape. In Eng
land reform means the extension of the suffrage,
and universal suffrage is q peculiarly Ameri-
can institution. Thus, under the compromise
name Of reform, the old battle between mon
archism, which restricts or abolishes the suf-
frage, and republicanism, which extends the
ballot to all citizens, was fought over again;
and republicanism won. II won, because we
had been successful in putting down the aris-
tocratic rebellion here. II won, because Grant
had defeated Lee. II won, because JEFF. Davis
was a prisoner and not President It sent such
friends of ours as John Bright Stuart Mills and
Tom Hughes to Parliament dedicated Walters,
Of the London Times. When Oxford, which has
been inimical to us, threw overheard Mr.. Glad
stone, the ablest man In England, our friends
in the manufacturing districts took him up, at
a moments notice, and elected him. Through

The Atlantic HeNsgraph.

The Great Eastern has now been out eleven
days, laying the Atlantic cable, and the news
of her arrival on this side the ocean may be
expected at any hour. Her movement is, OF
course, necessarily slow, and must bereguIsted
by the operations of the cable layers but she
has already been out nearly double the time it
would have taken her to pass over the same dis
tance at her ordinary speed The time in which
the first Atlantic cable was laid may be stated
at twelve days. The vessels started from mid
ocean-one going either way-and the shore
was reached by one in six days
There are ten thousand theories and argu-
ments for and against the success Of this great
undertaking. The theorists are not Of the
strikingly original kind, inasmuch as their
views generally keep in sight the result of
the former attempt They believe that the
cable will be laid successfully because the for
mer trial proved the possibility Of that achieve
ment They believe that the cable will work
for q little. because the other one did, and
that they will once more hear from De Sauty
and then they believe that this cable also will
fade and die out in some unaccountable way.
The doctors of electricity disagree on one i'm
portant point. It is admitted that the power
of the wires as they lay coiled In their tanks
in the ship was not fair test of what the
power will be when they be properly stretched
out in the ocean; but while some main
tain that the power in the ocean
will be greater, and that more words
will be transmitted per minute, others hold
with equal tenacity that the power under the
ocean will not be so great as 1t was in the ship.
These latter bold that the distance is an i'm
practicable one for telegraphing, and that the
power will be 80 attenuated as to render ope-
ration impossible, or at least to retard the de-
livery to such an extent that the telegraph will
be q failure financially. We hope that matters
have already gone so far, that the world may
soon have the satisfaction Of knowing which
class of theorists is right
If this attempt shall 60 on all right, and the
present cable prove success, other Atlantic
lines will be begun at once. Arrangements are
already on foot for the purpose Then we shall
have more northernly line,by way Of Labrador,
Greenland, Iceland and Norway, connecting
with the immense system of European lines;
and a more southerniy one by way Of the West
Indies the Cape Verde and Madeira Islands,
also eventually connecting with the European
lines and the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Per-
sian Gulf lines. In year, also, we may expect
that the Russian line by Behring Strait will
be completed. With this wonderful system Of
wires international communication will be per
feet, and the HERALD will present it's readers
every day with the news Of the day before from
all parts Of the world, giving as full daily &C
count of events in the nations Of Europe, Asia
and Africa as it now gives Of those in the
United States.

publish to-day highly interesting account Of
the state Of feeling in Canada relative to the
proposed confederation of the British American
provinces, the Reciprocity treaty and the pro-
spective annexation Of Canada to the United
States, from our own correspondent who has
been making q tour In that region 1t shows
that the views of the people Of Canada are very
diverse as to its future destiny. Strong feelings
exist in some quarters in favor Of constitu-
tional monarchy (which are fostered by the aris-
tooratic or tory element; but the undercurrent
of opinion will probably, after all, be found to
run in the direction Of republican form of
government in some shape, tending, of course,
From the efforts made at the late Detroit Com
mercial Convention, 30 called, to have the Re-
oiprocity treaty Of 1854 continued in force, and
which the last Congress directed to be abro-
gated, together with the general tone Of feeling
on this subject, 1t seems not unlikely that the
be tested on the Canadian border.
England has been extremely cautious in Its
dealings with its American provinces, both as
regards the proposed confederation and the
defences of the frontier. The mother country
is evidently not disposed to risk war with the
United States for the sake Of Canada. Louis
Napoleon has been endeavoring to show that the
affairs of Canada, Mexico and Cuba make an
identical issue with this country; but Lord Pal
merston evidently does not see It in that light.
In his recent friendly and familiar interview
with M. Eloin, the confidential agent of Maxi
milan, he stated that the Mexican and Cana
dian questions were totally distinct; that Eng
land would continue to stand aloof from Next
can entanglements, and that in bis opinion any
concerted action between England, France and
Mexico would be an unfriendly and improper
course towards the United States. Macmillan
and Louis Napoleon, in the person of M. Eloin,
have thus received quietus on the Mexican
question from the British government. For the
generous consideration and friendly feeling
towards the United States expressed by Lord
Palmerston, now that we have exhibited our
ability to whip both England and France COM
bined, we are, of course, duly grateful. Can
ada, meantime Is in o ferment about its future
condition, although we should hardly think that
the choice between somewhat sighted British
dependency and an integral portion of great
and powerful republic would be very difficult
to decide upon.

no chance--the influence Of this republic
was felt in the elections, and the American
question, deoently disguised 90 as not to alarm
John Bull, was the prominent topic at the
hustings.
We are not only not surprised at this result.
but we contend that, in the nature of things, it
was impossible to be otherwise. Here the peo-
pie rule, and consequently the people Of all
other countries look to us as an example. II
we succeed they also hope to succeed, and SO
they struggle on. Had we failed, they would
have given up the contest in despair, and des-
potism would have had new lease Of life. It
is impossible to convince the people Of Europe
that they ought not to have a. much liberty az
we have. Talk to them Of the necessity Of des-
potism and the danger Of giving the masses too
much power, and they point to this great
country, where the people have all the power.
During the war the display of our tremen-
dous strength nerved the opposition In the
French Chambers TO maintain their bold stand
on the Mexican question. Our victories en-
couraged the Prussian delegates to oppose the
King to the last extremity. We turned out Of
Office the O'Donnell Cabinet in Spain. We sus-
tain the Fenian Brotherhood in Ireland. In
every country the contest takes different
shape to adapt itself to the circumstances sur
rounding it; but the principles involved are
the same everywhere. In some countries the
people have little power, and they struggle
at the polls or through their delegates. In
other countries they have no power, and they
mediate revolutions. But in all cases they
look to this republic as the mariner consults
his guiding star The leaven of our democracy
is leavenng all Europe AS our success in the
Revolution of 1776 caused uprisings against
despotism all over the world, so our greater
victory in the more terrible and vaster revolu-
ton which has just terminated will result in
similar popular movements. Europe may as
well be prepared for these outbreaks. They
will come as surely as the day follows the
night They are logically inevitable.
