THE CONSERVATIVE CABINET N EsoLASD.-
At our last sdvicss from England . conserve
tive Cabinet Was being organized, with Derby
~ Premier. The list OF members which we
published yesterday Is probably correct
although there may be few changes in the
minor ofices, SO a. 70 make room, for instance,
for Mr.. Lowe, whose brilliant speeches did so
much TO defeat the Reform bill. Derby will
hold the confidence Of the English people dur
ing the European war, because IL is understood
that he is by no means sympathizer with
Napoleon's schemes and II 10 consequently
possible that there will not be another change
in the Cabinet until the war is' over. one way
or the other. The financial troubles Of Eng
land, which prevented dissolution Of Psrlia-
ment and m appeal to the voters, will also
have decided influence towards keeping the
conservatives In power for time. For the
present, then, England will side with Austria
so far as diplomacy goes. But sooner or later
the reform question must be met, and the liberal
party again control the government or force
such concessions from the aris'ocracy s Will
amount 10 peacesble revolution. Circum-
stances may postpone reform in England, but
nothing can finally prevent H.

The CRowNINa ACT or MUNICIPAL RAE-
cAI1rY.-The Common Council has passed over
the Mayors veto the ordinance granting to .
gas monopoly the privilege Of supplying the
public streets, avenues, parks, city buildings,
&C., with light from coal gas for the period Of
twenty years. This enormous case Of fraud
upon our taxpayers, who are groaning under
the inHiction Of taxes from all quarters, should
not be allowed to pass without searching in
vestigation. That there is bribery at the bot
tom Of it there can be no question, and there
must be some method under the city charter
for meeting and exposing the crime and prop
erly Furnishing the criminals. New illuminat-
ing articles are being discovered every few
days, and it is not improbable that within
year something may be presented which will,
while it lessens the cost inAn'te'v To-
..nished In our street
lamp. Therefore to bind the city for the long
period Of twenty years TO gas monopoly, and
stipulating that only . certain kind Of gas can
be used--that manufactured from coal--are
outrages which we confess we were unprcpared
to witness, even at the hands of our not0riously
corrupt and wretched city corporation. These
things must be reformed, even If 1t be neces-
sary to abolish the Common Council alto
gcther. Representatives should be sent TO the
next Legislature who will seize the subject Of
gas extortionists and handle 1t in manner
that will insure radical reform. In the mean
time, let steps be taken TO prosecute an inves-
tigation into the reasons which actuate the
Common Council in making this infamous con-

Of reducing the revenue from imports, 1t Ii
more likely to increase it
The questions arise, then, who pay for this
and who profit by its There is no necessity
for such revenue; we have more now than
we need. Indeed it Is fruitful source Of oor-
ruption.. The working people, the Western
farmers, the Southern planters, and all the in
dustrial classes of the country are taxed-not
to support the government, for the government
does not need it, as we have shown-but to in
crease the profits Of few manufacturers and
iron and coal capitalists in New England and
Pennsylvania. It il the most invidious, par
tial and infamous legislation ever known in the
history Of this country.
What can be done to arrest such ruinous
measuresi The President may be able to do
It. He may do 1t in the frs. instance by veto
portant issue before the country in the coming
elections. Should he make bold stand against
the present system of legislation, and lay be-
fore the country clearly and forcibly the whole
financial legislation Of this corrupt and weak
Congress, he will produce revolution in tho
public mind. Now is the time to do this, and
II Il the very question on which he can touch
the popular heart The financial question must
become the paramount one. Let Mr.. johnson
make the issue At once, tand save himself and
the country at the same time.
The MILITARY SITUATION IN MExco-The
establishment Of Macmillan in Mexico is fast
getting in o bad way. The full correspond
ence which we publish this morning from Mnta-
moros, Vera Cruz and the capital show that the
imperialists have lately suffered repeated re-
pulses, have been beaten not only at Matamoros
and Bagdad, but in San Luis Potosi while re-
volts and defections among the troops and
generals of the empire are frequent and serl-
ous In the battle of Bagdad the liberals ronted
the troops Of Mejla at the point of the bayonet,
captured numbers of prisoners, thousand
ANAL arms ana all the artillery, thereby fore
ing the capiMfation of Matamoros. In San
Luis Poios the French were surrounded cut
off from the capital and so seriously imperllled
that Marshal Bazaine had been compelled to
move with large force to their succor. This
explains the late movements, which, it was
argued, presaged an active offensive campaign
in the northeast. Tampico was also closely
shut up, and there were rumors that it was to
be evacuated. Macmillan now really holds,
and that insecurely, only the cities Of Mexico
and Vera Cruz, and the several fortresses which
guard the road between these two points. So
numerous and so active were the guerillas
depredating on this route that communication
may be said to be cut of between tho two
places, since only large armed parties are ena-
bled to make the trip. The French empire in
Mexico may, therefore, really be said to be
only an imaginary line from Vera Cruz through
Puebla to the capital.

SECRETARY STANTON IN DrFIcUrTTEs--we
have always been friend in need to Secretary
Stanton and have often given him friendly
advice. If he had followed 1t, he would not
now be surrounded with SO many difficulties
tary Justice, the Baker case, the Paulding trial
and the Fry-Conkiing investigation are making
the Secretary's Office altogether too warm for
Mr.. Stanton. He has probably done more
wrong, violent and despotic deeds than any
other American official, and oil these things
are coming home to him at present, like the
Arabs curses. We therefore advise him to
consult prudence, maintain his personal dig
nifty, and save appearances by prompt rcsig-
nation. Ifhe does not resign, he may soon be
turned out; and how will that look in historyi

The War In Germ3ny-Tno Fruss1on
Demonstrations fn Bohemta.
The European dates which we publish this
morning are one day later than those previ-
ously received; and the military situation in
Germany is not materially changed.
Tho forces Of General Won Boyer which had
occupied Electoral Hesss had evacuated that
province, doubtless moving east to cut Oh the
retreat Of the Hanoverian army Of King George
", which had been driven out Of Hanover by
Lieutenant General Won ManteufIeL The sur
render Of the King Of Hanover, to whom Prus-
sia had offered m alliance, guaranteeing him
possession Of his throne, 10 still announced
though highly probable.
The forward movement Of Prince Frederick
Charles, which placed the Prussian army In the
immediate front Of that Of the Austrians at
Prague, Olmltz and Cracow, was naturally fol-
lowed bya temporary lull and quiet This
truce, according to the news published yester-
day and this morning, had not been seriously
interrupted. Cavalry and other raiding par
ties Of the Prussian army had, in endeavoring
to destroy the several railroads, met with re-
pulses at Skalitz and Nachod, and had sue
ceeded at Turnau and at Altenberg, where
they had destroyed important bridgeA. The
engagements reported were mere skirmishes
with the exception Of that at Skalits and
Turnau, which appear to have been serious
affairs. The battle at Skalitz was not,
it appears, the result Of an advance move
ment Of the Austrians, but a demonstra-
ton Of the Prussians against railroad at
that point. The fight at Skalitz, on June ~,
led to another at Osweinten, but not to gen.
eral engagement or pitched battle. Prince
Frederick Charles, having by his first masterly
movement gained in Saxony and Hanover the
territory virtually in dispute, doubtless has no
intention of advancing upon Viepna but will
be content with covering Berlin, act
ng on the defensive and holding what
he has got The battles in Bohemia
have grown out Of his efforts to destroy the
railroads, by which Marshal Benedek could
advance from Prague and Olmlitz upon his
positions at Leipsic, Pirna, Dresden and Cor
litz and at present il would seem that we
must await the advance of the Austrians before
hearing of o great battle. The Prussians have
strong position in Saxony, and have mate
rally strengthened 1t by their destructive raids
upon Altenberg and Turnau and into Bohemia,
though they may have failed in one or two
attacks.
