Change of Flags in Walrussla.

Our correspondent informs us that Russian
commissioners are to proceed at once to Sitka
to go through the formalities Of turning over
our new possessions TO Yankee Doodle. The
icy cold color, Of Russia will give place to the
Stars and Stripes, and Walrussia will hence
forth become the north star Of the republic.
Our government must Immediately appoint
commissioners to meet those already selected.
It would be good plan to appoint Sherman
and Campbell, who could this time proceed
overland, provided they have with them good
HERALD correspondent to show them the way.
The hosting of the Stars and Stripes will be q
great event for Walrussia. She will launch
into new life. All the Esquimaux will BIO at
the gathering; the Common Council Of Sitka
will make an appropriation to celebrate the
occasion roast walrus, boiled walrus, fried
walrus, walrus d Ia mode, whale scraps, whale
blubber and whale oil will be served ap Ia
abundance the choicest wines from the Arctic
vineyards will be furnished the Esquimaux
girls will be in at the fret national ball all
around the harbor of Sitka the seals, the polar
bears and the walruses will turn out en- rsasse
to see what's up, and finding that it il the

The Northwestern Railroad.

A special telegram to the HERALD from Chi
cago informs us that the election for the Board
Of Directors Of the Northwestern Railroad Com
pany for the ensuing twelve months was held
yesterday, and that the old Board was re-
elected by vote representing tweny-fcur
millions Of stock against the opposition, which
only mustered about six millions. The oppo-
stion ticket was known as the Wall street COM
bination, and was composed Of directors of
other companies, railroad presidents and su-
perintendents, with q sprinkling of bank
officers, who sought to get control of the North
western Company for objects, It has been
stated, that would have proved detrimental to
the interests Of large majority Of the stock
holders. The Western men were In high glee
over their victory, and the Wall street mani
pulators were sent home with their proxies on
borrowed stock, n not happier, considerably
wiser than when they wen.

Another Attempt on tho Life Of tho Gear.
Imperialism has had warning and thu
people OF the Old World sad alarm by
one of those cowardly and feeble attempts
at popular vindication, as it has been termed
by the murder of the executive, which have
frequently prevented the oonsummation Of
great events, and from which no public benefit
can ever, Of course, flow.
We are informed by special telegram through
the Atlantic cable that an attempt was made
yesterday In Paris to shoot The Gear Alexander
of Russia when riding to the Tuileries, in COM
paRy with bis two sons and the Emperor Ma
poleon, after witnessing grand review in tho
Champ de Mars. Fortunately the pistol ex-
pioded, wounding the hand Of the assassin,
who was out down and arrested by the impe-
rial escort, amid the most intense popular
excitement.
1t is intimated that The murderer is Pole,
as cries OF :" Vipe c Pologne" were heard at diff
ferent points in the crowd just before the pistol
was aimed at the carriage.
A cable despatch Of the Associated Press as
serts that the man intended to shoot Napoleon
but our special reporter is positive that he
sought the life of the Gar.
This sad event will disturb the equanimity
of the congregated sovereigns vastly, and
must be particularly distressing to the EN-
peror of Russia, it being the second murder
GUS attempt which has been made against bis
person within short space Of time. 1t may,
indeed, have the eflect OF preventing the COM
pletion of the congregation of sovereigns in
Paris by keeping away the Sultan, the EN-
peror of Austria and the King of Italy, each
Of whom rules over populations in which are
to be found reactionary rebels jus! as fanatic
as are to be had in Poland, and equally
malignant
Such result would be peculiarly unfortu-
nate. Napoleon is on the point of the fruition
OF. evidently, really grand idea looking to a
settlement Of the Eastern question, the Polish
question, and the German and Northern diff
cultes, which, if fully perfected, may ensure
tie peace OF the world for very heightened
period.
Tie arm of this assassin may have dissi-
patel it, and if so no more heavy blow has
been dealt against progress and civilization
since the martyrdom of Abraham Lincoln.

The Progress Of German Consolidation hs
New Zoilverciu.

Our cable dispatches of yesterday made Us
aware that one OF the members Of the South
German Confederation had resolved TO cast in
her lot with the Northern Confederation, OF
which Prussia is the acknowledged head. The
transaction, 1t is true, is not yet completed; but
the voice Of the Chamber Of Deputies may be
accepted as decisive in the matter. Under tho
present arrangement Hessc is divided, part
having become Incorporated with Prussia at
the close ofthe late war. II the decision come to
by the Chamber Of Deputies be sanctioned by
the other branch Of the legislature and by tho
Executive. Hcsse will be restored to herself, the
Northern Confederation will be proportion
ately strengthened, and another point win
have been attained in the progress Of German
unification. Baden, Wurtemberg and Bavaria,
the only other members Of the Southern Bund,
may be expected to follow in due time. Nor
is this oil. The Zollverein which was destroy
ed by the late war Is 10 be renewed and il 10
include the whole OF Germany with tho exccp-
ton Of the German States Commercially.

canism and character we ever knew. 1t has
been said he is inexperienced in political affairs
We are not sure that this is not recommen-
dalton, rather than an objection, looking at the
miserable failures of our mere political Presi-
dents. But no one, we suppose, will presume
to say that General Grant does not understand
the political affairs Of the country; and as to
our foreign relations, he is the very man to
make the United States respected abroad.
How absurd to talk Of inexperience or capa-
city in one who has displayed through his
whole career SO much sagacity and ability
No no one doubts that he would prove both
safe and an able President, though the poll
ticians. for partisan purposes, pretend to say
as much.
The radicals object to him because he is not
partisan politician, and will not consent to be
their tool He can very we'll be the candidate
OF both the conservative republicans and the
democrats. Neither will be compromised, nor
will he BIO tho party representative, strictly, OF
either. He and his administration would be
the rallying point for that new and great con-
saryatiye party which the country now needs
essentially revolutionary-they brought on the
war, and now keep the republic agitated and
disorgsnized. Their chief and candidate, Mr..
Chase, represents both them and the infamous
national bank system, through the combined
organization and power of which he expects to
reach the White House. General Grant, on
the contrary. is inexorably opposed to monop-
oly-to expressing the mass of the people for
the benefit Of few, and he desires the imme-
date restoration and harmony of the country.
He has no ambition or object to serve but the
welfare of the republic.
The early nomination of General Grant d.
recty by the people would effectually check
mate the schemes, plots and tricks Of the poll
tcians and trading President makers 1t
would break up the odious and corrupt caucus
and convention systems, and restore the power
of making the President to the people them
selves. The campaign, as we said, is fairly
opened. The citizens Of every town, village
and locality should assemble together. regard
less OF politicians and nominate Grant at once.
The conservative and business men of the cities
should lead off in this movement With such
spontaneous burst of popular sentiment and
determination the corrupt and irresponsible
convention system would be killed beyond the
power Of resurrection. If even the conven-
tons were to meet they would not dare to
oppose the will Of the people, but would fall in
with it. BY such timely action the elections
preceding that Of the President would be
carried upon the same platform of policy. We
should have General Grant for Chief Magis-
trate. with conservative Congress to support
him. This, and this only. is the solution of our
sectional and political troubles. We call upon
the people to act at once and nominate General
Grant for the next President. As to his cleo
ton there can be no question. 1t is as certain
as that the sun shines in clear sky at noon
day.

and Alhei in Italy, Leasing, Schiller and
Goethe in Germany. In all these countries,
even after the drama had lost its religious hold
on the imagination, it exerted prodigious
educational influence. 1t has moulded, as well
as reflected, national opinions, manners and
character, and has sometimes directly affected
national destinies.
All this and more is done in our day and
country by the agency of the press The
modern newspaper has replaced the stage as
mirror OF the times and mighty engine Of in
nuence. Perhaps this fact will partly account
TOT the comparative Indifference of the Ameri-
can people to the present plentiful lack Of pro-
vision for their higher dramatic tastes. The
newspaper has grown astonishingly from its
obscure and imperfect beginnings in
Rome, where 1t appeared, as 1t were, in embryo,
under the COVE nment Of the Emperors, in peri
odical notices Of passing events (dcta diurna);
1t reappeared at Venice In occasional sheets o
daily Intelligence during the war of 1868 against
the Turks, and in a monthly manuscript issued
by the State, the first regular paper ever pub
lished; 1t took the shape Of Extraordinary
Gazsttes," published in England by authority
during the apprehensions caused by the Spanish
Armada; it was transformed into the Mercuries
and Ltegencers of the civil wars, the first regu-
lar English papers; as the Gazette de France it
supplied in 1851 the antelope Of the modern
journals whose name is legion In every civilized
country, In 1867 and as the NEW York
HERALD, it now daily offers to it's readers such
aworldwide spectacle of contemporary events
as no dramatist ever dreamed of representing
in the vastest amphitheatre of ancient Rome.
Tragedy, comedy and farce, the everyday life
Of the world, is vividly represented by the
modern newspaper with greater than dramatic
power.

The Action Of tho Convention on the Death el
Hiscock.

The Action Of tho Convention ON tho Death Of
Hiscock.
Few will read the speeches made in the Con-
vention at Albany, on Wednesday, on the death
of Mr.. Hiscock, without recognizing the bad
taste which characterized them. It seems TO
us that the simple announcement pro lorna Of
that gentleman's demise would have been more
appropriate to the occasion than the language
INDUCED in, both by those who eulogized the
victim as well as those who prejudged the case
of the principal actor in the scene. When the
matter comes be- the courts the cause and
the results of the tragedy will doubtless be
we'll weighed. At present we are in ignorance
Of the facts which led to it except as elucidated
by an e1 p0rte statement II is evident that the
perpetrator expects to be fully justified for The
act, and probably committed it with that con-
viction strong i'm his mind. It may be, also,
that these very gentlemen, who, in their
speeches dealt 90 harshly with the manslayer,
would be among those to justify him If they bad
to adjudicate upon the case. As far az tho
public know, it IL very doubtful question a.
to justification, no proofs having been yet fur
nished of the commission Of the crime alleged
against the deceased. The frenzy Of Mr. Cole
may have been the result of mere suspicion
acting upon sensitive and jealous mind and
1t would be dangerous precedent to establish
should q jealous man be justified in taking
another's life under such circumstances. The
conduct Of the prisoner towards his wife before
and since the homicide is, to say the least, in
applicable under the circumstances alleged.
II would be more discreet, therefore, to avoid
passing Judgment until legal investigation
can be had.

we have not as yet learned how TO get up
"musical festivals" in the European sense Of
the term. Everything of the kind that has been
attempted here has been on SO small q scale
and SO inefdciently managed that it has nei Their
been satisfactory to the public nor to Its pro-
moters. The so-called festival which il At pre-
sent being held in this city is no improvement
on the general character Of these enterprises.
1t Is poverty-stricken in its arrangements.
includes but few first class performers, and i
but indiAerently attended.
There Is great deal Of musical taste in our
community, and whenever anything really good
is offered to it, it Is sure to be appreciated II
resents, however, imposition, and cannot be
seduced into attending performances which
offer no guarantee Of excellence. The time has
passed by when third rate fddlers and small
music teachers can undertake to humbug NJ
with their attempts at management There II
now sufficient musical cultivation among us to
enable US to discriminate in such matters.
Those managers and they are but few, whs
appreciate this fact, command the confidence
of the public, and will always get together

announces anything that is not sure to DO
patronized, because he never abuses the trust
reposed in him. His first care is to satisfy the
public, his next to satisfy his artists, and bin
last to take care Of himself With the other
class of managers the order Of things is rcyersed.
They are bent upon making money whether
they please the public or not, and the conse-
quence is that in nine cases out Of ten they fail
In their object. Ii one Of these men had had
Ristori to manage, the probabilities are that In
spite Of her magnificent talents he would have
made fasco with her. The very names Of
some Of these theatrical and operate under
takers are sufficient to kill the artists engaged
by them before they have chance Of being
seen or heard.
In regard to musical festivals, there are but
few persons in this country who are competent
to get them up. That they would be literally
patronized If they were properly managed there
is no room to doubt. When they fulfil even
moderately the conditions which we have q
right to look for we will guarantee that there
will be no cause of complaint on the part Of
their projectors.
