Lttls Fuss s.A Feashsrs and HE Geld
headed Cane.
HE mysterious influence Of the HERALD has
again made itself felt to the practical advan-
tage Of the New York public. Superintendent
Kennedy had forgotten himself We believe
the superintendent to be on the whole wen
meaning sort Of man. He would like 70 see
the community of which he has charge more
religious-more given at least to the outward
observance OF the Sabbath. It is . difncuit
thing, however, 70 make people religious
according to any one standard. Superinten-
dent Kennedys standard may be very good
for him but it does not logically follow
that II must be equally good for the mass OF
the people Of this city. The mistake which
the Superintendent has made is neither
unnatural NOR novel. To the great misfortune
and injury OF society it has often been made
before. The history of this mistake, which
has been repeated in all ages and in all
nations, has been pretty fully recorded
recorded, alasl too often in letters Of
blood. Religious uniformity has been
favorite dogma with greater policemen than
Superintendent Kennedy, since the days of the
first Constantine d0wnwards. There are some
people who think-and with them the HERALD
entirely agrees-that 1t would have been better
for mankind at large, and better for Christian
ity too, If policemen, larger and smaller, for
these last eighteen hundred years, had left
doctrines and dogmas alone, and allowed the
precepts of Christ, without the aid of either
sword or baton, to work their way to the
hearts and consciences of men. This is truth,
however, which is difficult to learn, and Super
intendent Kennedy Tor, as we have heard him
called, "Little Fuss and Feathers'O, for one,
has not learned it. Much as the American
people prize the general and uniform Observ-
ance of the Sabbath day, and no people on the
face Of the earth prize it more, there is one
thing which they prize still more-and that is
liberty. On this one thing they are all agreed
that neither Superintendent Kennedy, with or
without his gold-headed cane, nor any other
would-be despot, larger or smaller, shall rob
them of their rights. We saw that the course OF
the superintendent If not checked, threatened
the liberty of the subject It was for this reason
we denounced his conduct. We are glad to
learn that be has since bethought himself and
so explained away bis obnoxious edicts that
in sense, they may now be said to have
ceased to exist The public is delivered from
the terror inspired by Little Fuss and Feathers
and bis gold-headed cane, and the mysterious
influence Of the HERALD is to be credited with
the result We shall be glad to see the Sab
bath faithfully and uniformly observed, but We
shall not lend our influence 10 back up q
system of intolerance which i worthy q tie

The Earopean Seetio1ent-Is Peace Sccurede
Our special cable kilograms of yesterday,
dated in London and Athens, are not by any
means assuring with regard to the perma-
nency of the peace said to have been secured"
to Europe by the deliberations Of the
diplomatsts assembled in the London Peace
Congress. The war spirit evoked by the de-
faint attitude which France and Germany
maintained towards each other on the Luxem-
burg question for such heightened period
has not been quoted by the prompt action Of
Lord Stanley. Diverted for q moment from
the Rhine, it appears, by our dispatches pub
lished to-day, to be tiding in the direction Of
the Danube.
France and Germany continue their arma-
ments, and Russia and Greece are i'm active
preparation for war. The King of Greece has
ordered the purchase ofseven war vessels in the
United States, heavy enrolment OF seamen is
being made in Athens and the ports of Greece,
and thirty thousand men have been added to
the Kings army.
The Luxembourg treaty Of arrangement was
signed in London yesterday, but we are
specially informed that Queen Victoria is
about to make proposal for general dis
armament, being most likely assured that the
sturdy belligerents Of the Continent and further
north and east care little for the situation Of
the battle field so as they can secure fight.
| II was considered that her M sjesty's proposal
would not prove successful and that the
| appearances indicated the near approach OF
war.
In the news columns OF the HERALD we reflect
| by our cable dispatches the varying changes in
| the policy Of the crowned heads and Cabinets.
We had the satisfaction yesterday Of laying
before our readers, through our special cable
dispatches, full particulars Of the settlement Of
the Luxembourg question by the Congress OF
| European Plenipotentiaries assembled in Lon
don. The announcement, we need not say. has
created very general feeling Of qualification.
| The prospects of European war. though bene-
| fetal in some respects TO us. could not on the
whole be regarded as advantageous to our
interests. What we might gain by supplying
| the belligerents with vessels and mdtsriel Of
| war would be but poor compensation for the
disturbance which il would bring about in our
commercial relations generally, and in the
damage which IL must occasion TO those nations
which are so closely identified with the cause
Of civilization and progress
The bull interest Ia Wall street is, Of course
rampant under the excitement of this news
There Is no danger, even without the endorse
ment Of Lord Stanley, ofits questioning its accu
rscy. A few weeks ago. when we published Biz
