Callicott investigation, there can be no doubt
in the mind Of any one who has considered the
subject that the most extensive frauds are

GaribaldI.

According to the latest telegram about Carl
baldi the Italian government threatens to
commence legal proceedings against the
brother conspirator of Mazzini iu opposition to
Charles Albert, the masculine Florence Night
ingale of the cholera hospital at Marseilles, the
soldier of fortune who offered his services in
turn to the Bey of Tunis to the republic of Rio
Grande; to Pope Plus *; to the Provisional
government Of Rome (after Charles Albert
had declined them) to the soap and candle
dealers of Staten Island and Manhattan Island !;
to the Commonwealth army Of Valparaiso to
the Sandman Generals, and to King Victor
Emanuel himself whom he saluted on his
march to Gaeta as King of Italy, and whose
loyal subject he no doubt has continued to be.
The legal proceedings in question are said to be
threatened against Garibaldi if he persists in his
alleged preparations for a hostile attack upon
the city OF Rome. Now we have good reason
for supposng that the story of this latest tele-
gram is but one more of lot Of similar ca
a-ts which the European press has dissent
ma Ell about Garibaldi. We incline to the be-
Lei that both Victor Emanuel and his faithful
ally, Garibaldi, are in perfect understanding
with each other. Fiiibuster and blatherskite
as Garbaldi is, like SO many men of like
type in Europe and America, we presume that
he is in full collision with Victor Emanuel,
and that bob the one and the other know just
how far to go and no further, without compro-
missing themselves with any party. Thus the
ex-soap boiler has bubbled and boiled over
and over again Whenever the name of Louis
Napoleon has arisen to the surface Of current
affairs, but he has always cooled of whenever
there has been an opportunity for intermed-
ding with the imperial policy in Italy. This
opposition to Louis Napoleon has long been
one Of Garibaldi's pet cards, but somehow he
has foreborne from playing it whenever he has
had, or might have imagined he had, chance
to play it against the Emperor Of the French.
This story that Victor Emanuel is to arrest and
prosecute his righthand man is about on q
level with the Intelligence Of the collectors of
European news in the days when their enter.

The Reaction Commenced in the city Pre.s.

The Reaction Commenced In the City Press.
We understand that the radical organs
in this city have lost one-thrd Of their SUBJ
scribers within the past three months. This
falling of is in consequence of the dissatisfac-
ton Of prudent business men and intelligent,
fair-minded citizens with the violent trades
and bloody revolutionary schemes of the
extreme radicals, who are ready to plunge the
country into all sorts of dangers and diff
culties rather than lose possession of the spoils
of the government. 1t is an indication Of the
reaction that is going on oil over the Union,
and that will soon appear in Pennsylvania and
New York, just the same as it has been seen
already In California and Maine.

War New. from south America.

In our correspondence from Rio Janeiro and
Buenos Ayres, published on Saturday, it ap-
peared that the republic Of Paraguay was
getting the best of it in the war with Brazil
and her allies; but yesterday we published
telegram from Lisbon, dated September Is,
purporting to give news of different tenor.
This news, il is said, came by the mail steamer
from Rio Janeiro, and if so may be the latest.
In that it is reported that the allies had recently
gained advantages over the Paraguayans, and
that they had captured Corumba and seriously
position at Humaita 1t is possible this may be
the case, for the scales of war turn frequently
in that country from one side to the other.
Still the telegram is couched in very indefinite
language, and, considering the source from
which it came, we should receive it with some
doubt. But whatever may have been the
success of one side or the other, it is not likely
the war is about to close. The heroism and
skill of the Paraguayans, together with the diff
cult nature of the country for the enemy's ope-
rations, forbid the indulgence of such a hope,
unless, indeed, Brazil and her allies give up
the apparent hopeless contest 1t is most
Ubiquitous war.
Whatever may be the faults of Lopez, the
Paraguayan President or Dictator, he is fighting
for the independence of his country and for
the republican principle against the ambition
OF Imperialism, and it is quite evident the peo-
pie Of Paraguay earnestly support him. Is 1t

to an end. The Emperor of Brazil wants to

In this days HERALD we give some extracts
from some Of the leading English weeklies in
which the situation in France is reflected with
singular truthfulness. These extracts, taken in
connection with those which we have recently
given, both from the English and the Cont
mental press, very clearly show that much as
Imperialism has done for France, it has not
exactly CROWNED the edifice" in the way the
Emperor would wish to see It crowned. France
has doubtless had much outward and material
prosperity during the Emperor's reign. The
advantages Of strong government have from
the first been benefcially felt Powerful and
respected abroad, and trusted at home, the
government of Louis Napoleon has secured for
the French people an amount Of real pros
perity perhaps never equalled, certainly never
surpassed, in her previous history. The secret
of this prosperity it is not difficult to discover
The French people love the appearance of sue
cess. Like some plants OF which we have
heard, in the sunshine they flourish in the
shade they droop and die. All this Napoleon
well knows, and by dexterous management be
has been successful in giving them the sunshine.
France, as natural consequence, hos acquired
the habit Of leaning too much on the Emperor.
The Emperor, on the other hand, has been at.
tempting little more than is possible. OF late
fortune has not been so easily managed. The

useless in the vaults; the Emperor is doing
all he can to restore confidence the task is
felt to be hard. The moral is a simple one.
Cesarism may be strong, but Cesarism may
also be weak. The government of one man
may be the best government possible but it
may also be the worst If Napoleon cannot

avision. Success is necessary both for France
and Napoleon; and In this lies the difficulty Of
the present situation.

as rival aspirant was a mastery achieve
ment, though he did not succeed in the at
tempted removal Of Seward from Lincoln's
Cabinet. Nor must 1t be forgotten that upon
the heels of Lees surrender Mr. Chase in a
Southern missionary tour, secured pre-emp-
tive claim to negro suffrage. Backed up by
this power in the South, and supported by Mr..
johnson passively, and by Secretary McCulloch
actively, in his financial system, Mr.. Chase may
surely be pronounced master of the radical
situation at Washington as matters now stand.
His most dangerous rivals, in their popularity
and in their claims upon the public gratitude,
have been set aside OF neutralized by knock
ing their heads together. The negro vote Of
the South, in the next place, Is great radical
card, and this belongs to Chase by right Of
presumption. But all these advantages gained
are only secondary to the stupendous political
power pledged to Mr.. Chase in the financial
system which he put in motion, and which the
administration is pursuing as zealously as If
also pledged to its designer for the succession.
From the historical events recited, all neatly
dovetailing together, ond all consistently work
ing to the benefit of Mr.. Chase, we may safely
conclude that he has the republican conven-
ton of 1868 fairly within his grasp, and that
his defeat therein can be achieved only by a
chain of events in the interval to next spring
wholly unlocked for by Mr.. Chase and his
radical assistant managers AS for President
Johnson's impeachment, the report and the
testimony, we dare say, whatever may be Mr..
Chase's obligations to Mr.. johnson, will be
used in the interest of the Chief Justice as a
good campaign document. Such is the graft
tude of scheming politicians.

Presidential Inirigues mt Washington-NIr
Chase Mastering the Situation.

Chase Mastering the Situation.
With the appointment by President Lincoln,
in 1861, of Mr.. Chase to the Treasury Depart
ment, he began to engineer and zealously set
himself to work for the Presidential succession.
To this end the enormous political power
placed in his hands of furnishing the funds
necessary to carry on a gigantic war were so
skifully managed that in the spring of 1864 he
boldly claimed the right to the succession
against Lincoln himself His calculations in this
view proved to be singularly defective but he
had done too much and had advanced too far
to abandon his grand design. There has, con-
sequently, been no abatement in his efforts to
remove all impediments and to secure every
instrument calculated to make him master of
the situation in 1868.
Mr.. Chase's financial system, including his
one dollar greenbacks, was skilfully contrived
as the nucleus Of powerful Chase party. But
in the vast disbursements Of the War Office, and
In the popularity acquired and likely to be
acquired by our army heroes, there was some
thing to be looked after. Mr.. Cameron, as the
War Secretary. was not, in this view, the man
adapted to Mr. Chase's purposes. Hence the
removal Of Cameron and the appointment Of
Stanton in his place. Stanton, whatever may
have been his own ambition, from the start
became jealous coworker with and confdant
of the aspiring head of the Treasury. Between
them the removal Of General Mcclellan, when
his popularity threatened to be dangerous, was
contrived and finally accomplished, though in a
Ill;
thus succeeded in shelving Mcclellan, Stanton,
in the interest Of Chase, undertook the same
game with Sherman, and would have displaced
him but for the kindly Intervention of General
Grant. Politically, however Sherman was
damaged almost beyond recovery and if now

he cannot turn TO the right hand or the left.
nor yet move straight forward nor stand still
without danger, the credit, such rs II il, be-
longs to Mr.. Chase and his faithful colaborer,
Stanton.
But the ENHANCEMENT Of Grant in the re-
construction meshes OF the War Depart
ment has involved the shelving OF even the
faithful Stanton, and here, doubtless, Mr..
Chase has made good use Of the confding Mr..
Johnson, and likewise in the removal Of
Sheridan and Sickles-the only men among the
Southern military commanders whose abilities,
public services and popularity were to be
feared in looking over the complications of the
Presidential chessboard. II will be thus per.
ceived that Mr. Chase may be said to have
cleared the track very adroitly Of some very
serious distractions, In disposing, for the time
being, Of Cameron, Mcclellan, Grant, Stanton,
Sheridan and Sicklss.
Nor do bis successes in mastering the radi-
cal situation stop here. In the very outset his
