Tho Late Nitrs-Giycerine RxplesIsu.
The late nitro-glyoerlne explosion ct South
Bergen, N. J., BY which nine souls were hur-
ried into eternity, d terrible reminder Of
other similar disasters which were caused by
the same destructive agent since lis discovery
two or three years ago. We were iirst made
acquainted with it, fearful power ON . Sunday
morning in the winter Of 1865, whom small
box exploded In Greenwich street, In front Of
hotel tore up the sidewalk, shaft cred the
building and ell the glass for block around,
and injured twenty.two persons. On April 8,
1856, seventy cases Of this chemical on ex-
ploded on board Of the Steamship European,
# Aspinwall, killed and wounded seventy
men, wrscked ne magnificent freight house
Of the Panama Railroad, and, Or course, do
stroyed the vessel Thirteen days afterwards
two boxes Of the Same material exploded in
San Francisco, killed fifteen or twenty persons
and produced nearly the same eHeot in the
nelghborhood that first class earthquake
would have done. Another nitro glycerine
explosion took place In Rochester, December
4, 1866, by which one man was killed and two
dreadfully injured. Tho effect Of these disas-
teu was sufficient to induce Congress to pass
bill making Il felony 10 ship or otherwise trans
port such dangerous freight without extreme
precauton. Yet II IL entrusted to the han Dis
Of careless and incompetent people and is
taken Is freight by railroad companies with
out the slightest thought Of the consequences.
It Is only whom disaster like the late one In
New Jersey strikes terror into every heart that
the authorities make . show Of enforcing the
law regulating the use Of this deadly COM
pound There cannot be too much vigilance
exercised in dealing with II, and railroad COM
panies and merchants should take every posi-
BILE precaution in its transportation. From its
power we may gain an insight into the terrible
mysteries Of nature and those mighty forces
that pile up mountain ranges ofgranite on our
Continent, rend hills apart to make way for
our rivers, level the proudest cities 70 the
dust by . single pulsation Of the earth, and
breathe through the crater mouths Of . Vesu-
vim and Etna. We have already disco vered
three Of the agents Of chemistry -gunpowder,
nitro-glycsrine and chloride Of nitrogen Per-
haps they are only the nrst Of the ascending
series Of explosive forces by which the great
operations Of nature are wrought At al
events, tho nee Of them BY human agents re-
quires thorough knowledge Of their nature
and effects, and the utmost precaution. They
are then harmless, and may be made the faith
full servants ofscience and progress.

In yesterdays HxRAI.D We published in full
the celebrated French pamphlet which is
creating q the present moment 10 much
excitement In Europe. There u but small
reason to doubt that this pamphlet, II not in
some sense the production Of Napoleon him
sell, was not published without his sanction.
II is an able and exhaustive discussion Of the
entire European situation from French, or
rather from Napoleonic point Of view. It's
ability, however, is one thing; its honesty Is
quite another. The programme il thus stated -
The only peace France can desire for herself and the
world II glorious peace, born Of the legitimate
pisis security Of treasured governmental This peace
rests upon . complete national and international
political programme. and u supported BY the following
i. Frank complete, and sympathetic acceptance
Of facts accomplished the course Of being accom-
psned In Germany. in all that relates 70 i,s internal
8 CONSCIENTIOUS execution Of the Convention Of
September Is, Or The formation or IN equivalent
s. Progressive development Of the liberal ideas
contained in the letter OF January 10, 1851.
The discussion Of the German question occu-
pies nearly the entire pamphlet Germany"
1t ia said, dis made" and France is not able,
and ought not IL she were able, to prevent the
complete unincation OF the Fatherland.
The temporal power Of the Papacy, accord
ing to the pamphlet, Is not to be abandoned
"Ths Convention OF the 10th Of September II
not last halting place towards the complete
absorption Of the temporal Papacy by united
Italy. II Is an impossible barrier placed
between the temporal power and it, assailants
by the evident necessity Of things, the secular
logic Of facts and, lastly, by the energetic will
Of the Emperor Napoleon ILL.,
The reforms promised by the Emperor In
January are to be carried out II Europe
listens to France Europe may have long era
Of peace. Much b looked for from the coming
congress- congress which IL il regretted was
mot held four years ago. The leaving Of :
peaceful aud powerful Inheritance to Napoleon
Nv. ia declared TO be the Emperor's policy.
The pamphlet concludes - follows:-"Perhaps
In 1867 Europe, taught tn the school Of mis-
fortune and wesrisd by 70 much ffuitless
agitation, eager for peace, may be happy 70
hear the same voice again say 70 her now--Tt

Tho New York Chamber Of C0mmcrce and
the Resunpsiea or specie PayHenss.
The report which was adopted BY the New
York Chamber Of Commerce at . special
meeting on Tuesday afternoon, assumes as
preliminary to the resumption Of specie pay
ments that all the footing debt Of tho country,
except that known as illegal tender" must DO
funded, and that gold and greenbacks might
DO made Of equal value If Congress enacts
that the latter shall DO received In part-that
is to say, to the extent Of ten per cent--for
duties at the Custom House. Il endorses the
policy Of The Secretary Of the Treasury, and
spplauds Congress for supporting It. II this
policy Of contraction be maintained the COM
mittcc Of the Chamber Of Commerce "sees NO
reason why full resumption Of specie pay
msns may not take place In the year 1869 y
!. and Il expresses the opinion that the return to
specie payments win affect the interests Of the
poor Of every class more favorably than those
Of the rich. Now, the return to specie pay
menn will come IN due time to the advantage
Of oil glasses, but efforts to hasten Il pre-
msturely must prove disastrous The COM
mittce Of the Chamber Of Commerce hopes
that Congress will listen .nsither 70 the call
for moro circulation nor TO interpretations Of
law that tend TO dlshonor.n But We presume
that evsn tho authority Of the Chamber Of
Commerce win fail 70 deter The people and

It l. very evident that the contest for the
Mayoralty lies now between Fernando Wood
and John T. Hoffman, and that one or the other
Of these candidates will be chosen Chief Magis-
trate or the CITY on Tuesday next. But third
candidate b In the 6eld, who represents .
party that In the recent State election received
twenty-six thousand votes cut Of poll Of one
hundred and twelve thousand, and who Ia told
by one-haf Of his own organs that he does not
stand shadow Of . chance Of success. Under
these circumstances would Il not be proper
for Darling to withdraw his name from the can
vass altogether, and to allow the Tammany and
snti-Tammany democracy to fight out this
battle on grand scale, with fair field and no
favori
The issue involved in this charter election
Is the prolonged existence or final destruction
of tho old oopperhead democratic organization
in the State Of New York and in the Union.
The last State elections uprooted radlcalism
and scattered II to the winds The consefva-
tive element rose against II and gave Il Its
deatholow. But in so doing Il became neces-
old democracy, and the leaders Of that
repudiated party have, In consequence,
grown bold and confident and are now striv-
ing to galvaniss the corpse Of their dead or
gauixation and to run it in tho old machine
fashion, with ell the fossils and corrupt rings
ct Its head. The seed Of copperheadisn lies
in this city, and in the soil Of Tammsny II
hopes to renew its vitality. The great popular
movement fsr Grant win receive restisGess
impetus In the overthrow and final breaking
up Of the Tainmany ring (; and Darling, IS )
warm supporter Of Grant, should refuse 10
stand in the way Of the movement and should
withdraw from the contest and come out boldly
against Hoffman on this ground. Fernando
Wood may not be such saint ~ the respect
able portion Of the republicans might desire TO
support a their FIRST choice for Mayor, but he
will save tho taxpayers eight or nine millions
Of dollars next year in his natural antag onism
to the rings now In power In the city and
county governments, and his success will
finally destroy the old Tammauy organization,
break down the copperhead democracy IS the
State election broke down radicalism, and
clear the way for an imme iiate reconstruction
Of parties, the election Of Grant or some other
good independent man TO the next Presidency,
the reconstruction Of the South on . broad,
liberal and statesmanlike basis, the wiping
out OF the national banks, the thorough reform
Of our whole financial system and the speedy
reduction Of our present heavy load Of debt
and taxation.
