FRANCE md PRUSSIA.

The Governments of France and Prussia can
not well be friends however ready they may
be TO bury all the "reminiscences of their past
quarrels. Prussia cannot forget that the only
serious opposition which was made to her
achieving for Germany the same national
unity of which England, France, Spain, and
Italy have long been in undisturbed possession,
has proceeded from France. In France, a con-
siderable number Of publicists and statesmen
openly announce their opinion, that rather than
permit Germany to become one nation, France
should risk war. 1t is natural, therefore,
that the French Government should be sus-
pectes of a desire to put all possible
obstacles in the way TO close
reunion of the South German States with
Prussia The Luxembourg question, which
came so near kindling war between the two
Great Powers, has not yet been solved, but
only put off, and is likely to come up again
when the commercial connections of the Grand
Duchy come to be definitely regulated. The
little States of Holland, Belgium, and Switzer-
land are, moreover, so dependent upon their
two powerful neighbors, that any trouble they
have with one of them is likely to arouse the
vigilance and jealousy of the other. Thus it

and Prussia a constant cause of serious COM
plications
But it cannot be said that at present any
thing in the relations between France and
Prussia points to the imminence of war Re-
ports of the purchase of horses and of activity
in military workshops belong to that class of news
which gossping correspondents are always apt
to invent. or at least to exaggerate From France
we have heard these same reports during the
present year at least half dozen times.
How insignificant do they appear in comparison
with the famous speech of Napoleon at Aux
ere. when he denounced the abominable treaties
of 1874 OF with the demand made last year
upon Prussia for the cessOn of some territory, or
with the contest with Prussia concerning Lux
emburg No unquestionable fact has yet been
cited which would in any way arouse 80 grave
suspicious as were called forth on those three
memorable occasions
All the reasons which last year caused
France rather TO submit TO humlliatons
than to risk war with Prussia, still
exist in their full force. The consolidation of
the military forces of the German States has
since made considerable progress Their aggre-
gate armies arc superior Ii nW1b~ " Tie

On Fames eternal camping ground the great
family of the Abbotts have spread their not by
any means silent tents for many years past.
The celebrated John S. G.. has written IN Orgi-
nal life of Napoleon l., and has licked the boots
of Napoleon III. The ilustriOus Jacob is the
author of some nice little story books. And now
oae of the tribe, either the aforesaid Jacob, or
some third brother less intimately known by
mankind, announces his purpose OF amexlng
Mexico 10 the United States. If he carry out
his design, we have no hesitation in saying
that he will throw the Life of Napoleon, the let
ters from the Tuileries, and the Rollo and Lucy
books completely into the shade. Mr.. Abbotts
plan is to begin with the northern tier OF Mex
lean States and work gradually down to Yucca
tan. He admits that his scheme has not here
tofore been very favOrably received in Mexico,
which we think extremely likely; but since the
execution of Macmillan, he says that Juarez
and other prominent officials have signi-
fed their readiness to accept it, provided we
uarantee them good fat places under the
new government. OF course there need be no
difficulty about that. Senior Don Juan Jose
Baz would undoubtedly make an excellent col
lector of internal revenue, Escobedo might be
appointed collector of the port of Sisal, and the
vacant Austrian mission would be, for obvious
reasons, just tho thing for Juarez. Mr.. Alb
bolt, however, has had good deal Of trouble,

THE PREVENTION or GAMBLING.

A Society for the Prevention of Gambling
has been organized in this city, and an once
opened in one of our downtown streets. III
honestly conceived and faithfully conducted,
this organization may do good, chiefly by fear
lessly exposing not only the haunts OF the
gamblers, but the names and standing of those
of our otherwise respectable" citizens who fire.
ouent them. In the matter Of convictions for
the crime of which this society is the avOwed
enemy, we do not look for great results under
our present Judiciary. The grounds OF our DIS
trust are well set forth in the report OF
the proceedings OF the last meeting OF the So
ciety:
"From the report of the counsel Mr. Nathan Nesplt II
appears that ID complaints had been made ceny against
poicy Offices and that he had prepared thc necessary
afdayts upon which to have warrants Issued Mr Mes
biz also stated that the political influence Otthe gHpng
fraternity was SO powerful that he feared
that police justices would not do their duty III tne matter
and issue the necessary warrants ana stated odas Any
apparent romssncss his part was to be ascrDed raer
to that fact than to any lack OF energy IN PSo stated
that he had applied during the past week TOT seyer'
warrants to certain police justice, who after an a
nati0n Of the papers, declined Issuing a"aldn' "P'
some trivial pretense."
II is clear that the society has got to fight
the gamblers and their judicial allies-n other
words, the combined gamblers OF the city.
This is not an easy task, and the leaders III
the movement will need the hearty support OF
tho decent part of the community to keep their
courage and combativeness up to the lighting
point under such diSpiriting circumstances.
Are the leaders in this movement ready to
enter the lists against the palaces of fraud, as
well as the Water-st. policy shOps' If they
are, then we wish them good-speed; if not, they
deserve no contributions toward their work,
nor laudations as special champions OF pubic
virtue The police are generally ready TO
pounce upon the mechanic who hazards his
weeks wages, or the wretch who stakes the
coat he has stolen in the hope of winning
glass of rum, but they are wofuly
ignorant of tho apartments where merchant
is beggared and bank teller made telon
through the turn of the cards from silver
box. We trust the gentlemen of this new
society will show none of that sort of delicate
discrimination in favor Of brOadclOth and fine
linen; for, if they do, their organization Will
deserve to die in its youth, like all other piOus
frauds But if they are keen in the pursuit OF
evil, vigant in their surveillance over the rch
offender as well as the poor, untiring IN their
presentation of cases to every tribunal which
has jurisdiction in the premises, and steadfastly
refuse to listen to the bribing clink OF any
mans gold then they will deserve well of every
friend of law and order.

The Ne,r- Orleans Republican says that THE
TRIBUNE, because of its Editors course toward
jefferson Davis, " feels impelled to upbraid the
"Mexicans for shooting Macmillan" Is that
also the impulse of VICTOR HUGo9 We assure
our critic that our repugnance to such butch
cries of prisoners as those just enacted IN
Mexico was fixed and positive long before we
ever heard of any such persons as JeiI
Davis, Juarez and Macmillan. Recent occur
rences have only deepened what was already
an intense conviction.
The Republican goes on to say that
"THE TRIBUNE loses opportunity to insldousy work
against the nomination OF coored men TO Office II SAYS
faf AT the last two Presidential elections the Republican
party elected its candid by White votes exclusively
and that the votes OF colored are not needed 10
secure s success in discriminating thereby that the
party can safely refuse justice 10 colored men, ana
own color in office even at the risk Of losing all then
votos."
How unlike truth the above is, our readers
already know. We are inhexibly opposed to
making a mans color any tOuchstone of his lit
ness or of his right to vote or hold Office. II
Mr.. Frederick Douglass or Mr. John NJ. Langs-
ton is eminently fitted for any Office, let him be
chosen thereto because of his fitness, without re-
gard TO his color. To propose man for high
Office because he is White, or Black, or Yellow
is to dsparage and insult him. Besides, If color
is to be a qualification, Douglass or LangSton
would stand no chance with others who are twice
as black rs they are.
When Moss threatened the Republicans with
defeat in the next choice of President unless
they nominated colored man for Vice-Presi-
dent, we reminded him that we had succeeded
at the two last Presidential Elections by White
votes alone. This was not said to prove that
no colored man should be nominated-far less
to show that the party can safely refuse to
&" do justice" to anybody-but to repel MOSES
attempt at Bullying. The Republican should
fairly quote what it processes to combat, and
not SO grossly misrepresent us.

The address which the Pope delivered 10 the
deputies from Italian cities, the other day,
was rather kinder in tone than many OF his
former speeches, but it indicates no change ID
his policy, and no relaxation of his opposition
to the union of Rome with the Kingdom of
Italy. He is still unable TO perceive the adj
vantages of national unity, still unwilling to
acknowledge that the movement for con-
solidaton of the Italian States springs from
any other inspiration than hostility to the
Roman Church And in the unwonted bold
ness and resolution of his speech it is not diff
cult to detect confidence, probably well
founded, that the intervention which he has
besought from France will soon come to his
aid

The appeal of the Republican Congressional
Committee for pecuniary aid in carrying on the
Reconstruction campaign in the South, which
we published yesterday, commends itself to all
patriotic citizens. The Committee have already
expended nearly S23,OOO, mainly derived from
the private contributions of Senator's and Rep
resentatiyes, and their purse is now empty
They have sent more than 20 active and lntelli-
gent speakers and organizers through the South;
they have distributed an immense number OF
documents; they have formed Republican Clubs
and Committees in every State; and they ex-
press the unhesitating conviction that with
a reasonable persistence and energy on our part
we may carry the whole South at the next cleo
tons. But the Southern loyalists are poor;
they can give little except their votes to the
cause of the country; the necessary expenses OF
the campaign must be betrayed mainly by the
Union party of the North One hundred dol
Lara now, say the Committee, will accomplish
far more than $4,000 a year hence We beg

French Army. The finances of Prussia and
her allies are in better condition than those
of France. In Prussian war France would
have enormous interests at stake If con-
ouered, she would risk the permanent loss of
her German Provinces; if she should conquer,
and annex any part of German territory, she
would have a Venetia which the German
nation would ever be intent upon recovering.
1t is probable that neither France nor Prus-
sa will lose sight of the possibility of new COM
plications suddenly arising, and that both will
take special care to keep their armies in good
condition; but we believe that both are anxious
to avoid if possible, the outbreak OF an open
conflict, and that at present there are no seri-
Gus indications whatever of such conflict.

The ~ Y Times, at the close of kindly
notice of the reported nomination of the Editor
of this journal for Minister to Austria, says:
"Though the Senate failed TO confirm the nomination.
in the haste OF the last day of the session, there Is no
doubt its favorable action Resembling IN No
vember Mr.. Bancroft accepted the PrussiaD Mission
and sailed for his post before his confirmation by the
late session II is at Mr. Greeeys option to adopt like
course"
Mr.. Greeley has no advice of the reported
nomination except through the journals, as he
certainly had no intimation or suspicion that
his name would be sent to the Senate for any
post whatever He could not accept this place
had the alleged nomination been unanimously
confirmed, intending not to leave his country
at least until every State disorganized by re-
volt shall have been restored to her normal
position in the Union-if possible, on the basis
of Universal Amnesty coupled with Impartial
Suffrage On the eve of new Presidential
canvass in so mOmentOus an exigency, he
would regard any employment that required
of him a sojoun of months abroad as at best
but honorable Punishment. And, while he
will not decline nominations that have not
been rendered him, he purposes never again to
be a candidate for Office.

The Brownsville RancherO, paper published
in the interest of the Mexican Imperalists,
charges EscobedO with having written most
bloodthirsty letter against all foreigners. He
is reported to have said that the Mexican peo-
pie should take possession of all the property
owned by foreigners and hunt them from the
country. He is said to be particularly violent
toward the Yankees" If the report be true,
Escobedo may yet be the cause of trouble be-
tween this country and Mexico. We could not
suffer the principle of death to all foreigners
to be carried into practice. But the Mexican
news furnished by The RdncherO is generally of
a very questionable character, and this letter of
Escobedo in particular has much the appear
ance of forgery.

and it has cost him good deal Of time TO get
his project properly before the public. II re-
quired two years to secure a hearing before a
decent collection of Senators and Representa-
tiyes. The hearing came off only the other day.
Mr.. Abbott talked for an hour; at the end of
which time we are mortified and amazed TO
learn that Senator Sumner and Gen. Banks
pronounced the scheme impracticablc ana so
no definite conclusion was reached. IL is some
consolation, however. TO learn that Abbott ia
indomitable. He is going to talk some more.
He is resolved that the thing shall he done.
Lopez sold Macmillan why should not Juarez
sell tho Republic ? Abbott has already secured
the assistance of the correspondent of The Nea-
York Herald, and if the two together cannot
annex Mexico, then worldly reputation is a
mockery, a delusion, and snare.

The details OF an unfortunate controversy
between the Collector of the Port and the
Quarantine Commissioners whereby passengers
arriving in Newly DIRK are much inconvenieneed,
are given in another column. The Collector
has refused to grant permits for the discharge
of passengers and baggage until the certificate
of the Health Officer has been sent to the city,
the steamer meanwhile lying in Quarantine
waters. Hitherto, this permit has been granted
in advance of the arrival of the steamer so
that, if the vessel had clean bill of health,
the passengers could he landed without delay.
