The singular quarrel of the official papers Of
France and Prussia is not wholly cleared up by
the fuller statements which we gave in our
issue yesterday. Outside Of the two countries
directly involved in the controversy, it appears
to be the almost unanimous opinion that some
document concerning the cessiOn of the Danish
districts of North Schleswig to Denmark was
forwarded from Paris to Berlin, and that it was
communicated to the Prussian Government.
The MOniteur does not explain the emphatic
assertions by the Prussian press; other papers
attempt all kinds of explanations, every one of
which presuppOses some mental reservation or
double sense in the words of the Moniteur.
The subsequent attitude of the French Govern
ment, has, however, been Enthusiastically peace
able, and has again confirmed the opinion that,
at least for some time to come, the peace be-
tween the two great Powers is not likely to be
disturbed

Of the preceding night to say nothing Oh tne

have left him even a rag of temper to go out

Delmonico gives us here in the city, and then
give glance but only glance, at the board

fare that one reads about so often In newspa-

What we are ridiculing just now Is the notion
that the country for three months III the year,
on the terms our city folks get it, is preferable
to New York City, with its cool sea-breezes, lts
Croton water, its excellent walks, its adml-
rable DelmOncO, its beautiful Park, and its In
Vulnerable opportunities of getting away from

ferrous, and could never have been entertained
by any one who had ever tested his prejudlces
by actual experience. We want to convince
our rich people that they make a mistake in
going so far and spending so much money as
they do, to get fresh air and GOODNESS, and the
auiet pleasures of life. All of these are to be
found in the very city itself. Here are all the
delights of the country without its discom-
forts Who spends his Summer in the country,
gets his vegetables, his fruit his milk, his
eggs, his meat, his poultry, bis fish-if, indeed,
he gets them at all-at the third remove; he

MR. CHASE AND HIS CALUMNIAToRS

that in compilation Of brief personal items, this mis-
statement got into our columns and IL Is but Justice 10
give it this prominent contradiction Tins "oru'
This handsome paragraph induces us to say
something in reference to the calumny recently
mt in circulation about Mr. Chase to the eff
feet that, having entered the Treasury poor
man, he now possesses an income OF SIO0OOO
year.
Mr. Thurlow Weed seems to be the author OF
this story. AS the libels of this representative
scamp are tOlerably good evidences OF the IN
tegrity of the person libeled, we have passed
it by. 1t is very hard that a man with the
stainless record of Mr.. Chase, with a life of
purity. courage, earnestness and fidelity, should
find himself charged with stealing the public
moneys. We happen to known that this is the
one sin from which Mr. Chase is free, and,
without attempting to drag n gentlemans pn-
yate business before the world we also believe
that the statements of our Washington cor
respondent are substantially true. Mr.. Chase
is to-day much poorer man, by reason of his
public life, than when he entered the Treasury
and a great deal poorer than if he had re-
mained at the bar.
This we say in justice to cruelty wronged
man. 1t is not the first time that we have no.
tccd Infamous assaults upon him and his
family. Even his high station is no safeguard
from these pcstilent creatures who, unable
to do or appreciate anything great, gain noto-
riety by assaling the greatness of others.
These cowardly attempts to iDjure Mr.. Chase
in the confidence of the nation, however, will
have the effect attending like assaults hereto
fore made. They will serve to arouse the de-
termination of the people to vindicate one
whose life has been devoted to their cause.
New-York tribune., 1867-08-13

Mr. Stanton has been removed from Office.
but the principles he represented remain. We
repeat that although the Presidents action is
unjustfed and likely to have evil results, yet
on the whole the country may gain by it, Mr.
Stanton's presence in the Cabinet may have
restrained the President, but did not change
the policy of his administration. 1t was a neg
ative protection. At the same time Mr.. Stanton
shielded Dir. johnson from great deal of in
dignatiOn that justly belonged to him, and
prevented his policy from fully working out its
own destruction. Now we are to have the lines
deeply drawn. The President has resolved upon
opposing reconstruction Congress has resolved
that the laws shall be executed, and there is
no longer a power in Office TO intervene. We
are well satisfied to abandon Mr.. Johnson's
administration to its own devices; it is useless
to longer hope that Republican in the Cabinet
could patch it up, and make it worthy of the
peoples confidence. "Ephraim is joined TO his
"idols; let him alone"
We know now where we stand. There is
no complaint that Mr.. Stanton had not dis
charged his duties faithfully it is plain that
he is suspended simply because he is a Repub-
llcan. Mr. johnson could not endure that the
secretary OF War should be resolved to execute
the laws In the spirit in which they were laid
down. MIR. Stanton's offense was that he
chose to obey the laws, even if in
doing so he disobeyed the President. The
senate VIII determine whether his sus-
pension was legal !; and in the meanwhile
Mr. stanton has put it on record that he
has yielded only to superior force He could
not resist the combined authority of the Com
mander-in- Chief of the Army and the General
of the Army. When Gen. Grant agreed with
the President, and sent word to the Secretary
that he had accepted from the President the
position. Mr.. Stanton had no choice left Had

pEE0RM IN REPRESENT1TION

We notice with pleasure the formation OF
society for the purpose of securing change IN
the system of elections, so as to give mlnorlties
everywhere an opportunity to be heard In leg
islation. We are especially glad to notice the
cooperation in this movement of gentlemen
representing all shades OF political opinions
for this is reform in which all parties have
common interest, and which ought not to
be made partisan issue. The members
of the society doubtless have various theor-
les as TO the mode In which the reform
should be attempted and will, we pre-
sume, endeavor so to harmonic their views as
10 bring q united influence to bear upon the
Convention, which will speedily decide the ques-
ton as far as this State is concerned. Looking
70 what seems practicable and attainable, rather
than to abstract perfection, we suggest that the
wisest policy for the friends of this reform will
be to accept the report of the Conventions
Committee on the Legislature as basis,
modifying it only so far as is necessary
to make it conform TO the main principle
that mnorities shall be represented. The
essential feature of the scheme reported
TO the Convention is the election of Senators
by large districts, and of Assemblymen by
counties. The objection to this plan, under the
ordinary system, by which members are elected
only by the majority in each district, is that
the great counties of New York, Kings, Erie'
&c, would be represented exclusively by one
party and the whole interior of the State ny
another. The advantages which seem III tne
judgment of the Convention to outwelgh ehis
objection are the getting rid of little dlstricts'
some of which are notoriously depraVed' and'
by making every constituency Large one' Sc

The sore feeling manifested by the English
people at the treatment accorded by the Gov
eminent to the Yiceroy of Egypt in his recent
visit is surely natural enough. Ismail Pasha ia
as good as a king, though in name he is only a
viceroy of the Sultan. He has always been a
liberal friend to the British and his lehayiOr to-
ward Englishmen travelling in his dOmlniOns
has been remarkably generous. Yet the Royal
family showed him only the shabbi'st apology
for hospitality when he came to visit them;
none Of the Queens many palaces-Whiteball,
St. James's, KensingtOn, Buckingham, Kew,
Hampton Court, FrogmOre, Marlborough House,
Clarence House, Windsor-was fted up for
his occupation and Lord Dudle' finally had
to rescue him from hotel by living up his
own mansion to His Highness's US. These cir
cumstances provoke inquiry whether the
Queens conduct was dictated y poverty or
parsimony. Let us see what the royal incomes
amount to. Here are the figures Queen Vic
toria, $1S7O,OOO; Prince of Waes, SjOO0OO;
Princess of Wales, $4,000; Duk: of Edinburgh.
$4,000; Princess Royal of Prussia, $4,000;
Princess Of Hesse, S3O,0o0; Princess Helena,
$4,000; Duchess of Cambridge. $4,000 her
eldestdaughter,S ,0OO hersecond daughteLS25,-
600; Duke of Cambridge, 100000. Total,:2, 725OOo.
Beside this. q rich noodle named Neeld, passing
oven al MS Own relations, bequeathod to the
Queen $1,75O,00O, Which she WAS graciously
pleased to accept There have been largo
savings since the death of Prince Albert in
1861, in consequence of the Queen living in
cheap retirement, and leaving the dignity Of
1.-THE Crown" to shift for itself; and if these
savings be estimated at only oIn-sixth Of her
income, the amount cannot be under 100000
more. Prince Albert who ws remarkably
saving, left to the Queen all lis accumula-
tions, estimated at s5,CO0,O00. With an annual
income of s1,s7O,OOO, AMI capital of not far
from S9,OOO,OoO, Queen 7ictoria ought not to

New-York tribune., 1867-08-13

curing at least one well known and reputable
man from each election division.
A very slight change would secure every
advantage, and obviate every defect Of this
plan. A moderate increase of the Assembly
would secure three members or more to about
two-thirds of the counties. Then give TO the
minority, in every county eleotng thiee or
more members, the right of cumulative voting;
that is, instead of voting once for three mem
bers, give every elector liberty to cast, Il he
prefers, three votes for one member. The
Republicans of NewYork and Brooklyn, and
the Democrats of 0nOndaga Oneida, Monroe,
and even St. Lawrence would thus secIre
a fair representation in the Legislature. The
same principle, applied to the Senate, would
perhaps make it desirable that three should be
elected annually from each district. This
would be quite easy, if the Senatorial term
should be confined to two years; or if it is
thought best to make the term longer, the
number of districts might be reduced to four.
each electing 12 Senators three every year.
The character of the Constitutional Conven-
ton, contrasting so strongly as it does with
that of recent legislatures, has done much to
impress the public with faith in the superiority
of a system of election by large districts; but
on the other hand the political complexion OF
that body, in which only one Republican sits
by the choice Of voters south of Dutchess
County, and not one Democrat by the choice
of voters north or west of Albany, excluding
Erie County, is an argument of overwhelming
force in favor of representation for minorities.
The plan we have suggested lacks some
desirable features of Mr. Hare's scheme, which
is the only one known to us that provides for
o perfect photograph of the electors in the
Legislature; but the change here proposed is
not so radical, and therefore not 50 difficult Of
accomplishment. If it is possible to attain
better system at once, we shall be glad, but
we advise the friends Of reform to take what
they can get, without rejecting the attainable
for the sake of the ideal.

From the vote on the important bill con
cerning ecclesiastical property in Italy, it np-
pears that only IS votes were cast against it
a small number in House that numbers over
44O members. AS the bill virtually confscates
the property of the Church for the benefit of
the nation, and as the Church has threatened
with accommodation all who in any way aid
in the confscation of Church property, the bill
clearly shows to how small number the Cath
olic party in Italy has been reduced.
