The exodus from Europe, some months since
predicted by the HERALD. has commenced, al
though it will not reach its food tide until the
season is more advanced and the weather
settled. Our special correspondence from Ire
land, published on Saturday, gave the informa-
ton that nine steamers filed with emigrants had
left Cork within few days of the date of the
letter, and that several hundreds of passengers
still remained behind awaiting transportation.
This was from one port only, while an equally
active emigration was going on by way Of
Liverpool, Londonderry, Southampton and the
German ports. On Saturday last the steamer
Minnesota arrived at Castle Garden with over
one thousand passengers, having left Liverpool
on the 14th, and Queenstown on the 18th inst,
and made an excellent passage. The Kangaroo
also arrived same day from Liverpool with six
hundred emigrants, and the America, Of the
German mail steamship line, with several hun
bred more. So Castle Garden was crowded
Saturday night with large army of males and
females, of all ages, seeking in the New World
the peace, safety and prosperity denied them in
the Old. "And The cry is still they come"

What Then 2

In the Milligan decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, on full bench,
the judges were divided, five against four.
That decision, as precedent, will, from
the same judges, justify decision restraining
the Secretary of War, General Grant and the
FIVE Southern Military Commanders, from the
execution OF the reconstruction laws Of Con-
gress. Suppose therefore that such decision
is made--what them President Johnson will
bow to the Court. What then? Why then,
there will be a reassembling Of Congress in
July, and some additional measures Of recon
struction that win finish the business. But first
let us await the judgment Of the Court.

Progress I'm New York and the Old Land
marks Of the Past.

Progress I'm New York and the Old Land
marks Of the Past.
Aswe look out of our Office window and
see the clock of old ST. Paul's church marking
the aesting hours and hear the bell toll them
into eternity we are led to contemplate tne
changes in and progress Of this mighty metro
politan city. And this progress represents,
too, that Of the whole country. Canal street
was out Of town o few years ago; now II rs
called the lower part OF the city. Many OF
those ancient landmarks which the old New
Workers almost reverenced have one by one
passed away. A few still remain, but they
have mournfdl look by the side of the mag
nihcent structures Of marble and iron lately
erected, as II conscious of their coming fate.
This very church Of St Paul, and old Trinity,
with their graveyards, are out Of place amid
the intense business activity around them.
They are out Of the way, too, for those who
attend service in them, as many of
the church members have to 90 down
town miles to worship there. The ground
they occupy is needed for the swell
ing business Of this part Of the city.
we might ieei some regret to see Trinity church
demolished, because it is handsome and SUBJ
stantial edihce; but St Paul's Is not. II is like
an old hulk laid up with ih decaying timbers,
and ID of no further use where it is. Il was not
made to stand the ravages Of time, and has no
beauty to recommend its preservation. The
congregation, who for the most part live up
town, should sell this property and build
splendid church in more convenient place.
In this progressive city and age veneration for
such old landmarks must give way to utility
and convenience. They must be swept away
for the grand improvements that are going on
in the business part Of tho city. Old Time
cannot stand against progressive young New
York. We recommend the old time folks to
consider this, and safely get out Of the way Of
that irresistible car of progress which sweeps
all before 1t.

The Cession of Russian America 10 the United
states-The Excitement i'm England.
1t is curious to notice the change of feeling
which has already taken place in England in
relation to the proposed cession of Russian
American territory to the United States. At
first the whole thing was pooh-poohed as .
matter of trifiing importance. The holding Of
the territory by Russia had been no incon-
venience. It was difficult to see why iucon-
venience should be created by its transfer to
the United States. Besides, the territory being
practically worthless, mere northern waste Of
frozen lakes, ice-bound rivers and snow-clad
mountains, it was immaterial, except possibly
In strategic point Of view, by whom it might
be held. 1t was not worth even the paltry
purchase money which, as every one saw, very
thinly yelled voluntary transfer.
Now, however, that some little light has been
cast upon this northern region, and that the
discovery has been made that 1t is not
altogether valueless, but on the contrary,
possessed of large though undeveloped re-
sources, politicians are In furry, and news
paper writer's are at their Wits end to give the
needed explanations On all hands it is now
admitted that the acquisition win be positive
gain to the United States Some discover in
1t evidence Of secret treaty entered into be-
tween Russia and the United States in pros
pect Of certain complications in Europe All
see in it proof of friendship on the part Of the
one-headed giant Of the North towards the
many-headed giant of the West Not few
consider il an emphatic protest against, and
defiant set-oR to, the grand Canadian confede-
ration scheme. One Of the principal London
dailies, looking at all the facts of the case, and
having special regard to the position of the
lately acquired province Of Columbia, admits
that British affairs on the North American con-
tinent were never in more critical condition
than they are at the pr ssent moment
We see no necessity at all for our friends
taking alarm. Our acquisitions in the north
cannot, In any sense, impoverish them. II
Vancouver Island and British Columbia and
some other strips Of territory be found neces-
sary to form connecting link between our
new and old possessions, We have no intenuoS
Of initiating Old World habits aud forcibly
rearranging geographical boundaries. Nothing
of the sort We mean to have done with war,
unless war is forced upon US. Our conquests
are to be oonquests of peace. The best proof
of our peaceful intentions is to be found in
the means by which we propose to make the
Russian territory our own. The example we
here give is the example we mean to follow.
We do not close our eyes to the fact that the
star of empire is with the Great Republic,
and that to all human appearance the day is
not far distant when the Union shall extend
from the tropics to the Polar Sea, and when
over that vast region, with its tesming millions
Of free, happy and industrious people, tho
Star Spsngled Banner alone shall wave but
we do not mean TO extend our territory and
enlarge our resources by doing and perpetu-
ating wrong and injustice.

We understand that in the Supreme Court or

cold Thad Stevens" is not as well pleased
as he ought to be with the promises made to
the Southern people by Senator Wilson in
view of their bona fde fulflment of the recon-
struction laws Of Congress. In letter to the
newspapers Mr.. Stevens first quotes from q
late speech Of the Senator promising that there
would be no impediment to Southern repre-
sentation in Congress if they elected Union
men, and expressing the opinion that in recon-
structing Virginia the results would be q
republican Governor, Legislature and two
United States Senators and then the indignant
radical leader Of the Commons responds
that such promises are calculated to do mis-
chief that they throw obstacles in the way Of
future reconstruction that much is to be done
before any of the rebel States or any Repre-
sentative or Senator from any one Of them can
be recognized. He wants to know, too, who
authorized any orator to say that there win
be no confiscation, and 'who Is authorized -
travel the country and peddle out amnesty
And then Mr. Stevens, in his most amiablo
mood, observes SCI would say to the most
guilty expect punishment, and then quietudes
but first . mild confscation to pay those Who
have been robbed by disloyal men. These ars

may add, perhaps not Nevertheless, We regard
it as morally certain that each and every one
Of the States concerned in faithfully meeting
these reconstruction laws Of Congress will bs

thousand Pruss ans placed in that vital fortress
Such possession is to her constant reminder
of the humiliation that followed The dreadful
days of Leipsic and Waterloo. PROSTATE before
Europe she had to accept the law, not give it,
and assent that others should have the material
guarantee Of way TO her heart. Prussia claims
thatshc holds the fortress by treaty right-mcan-
| ing the treaty right given at Vienna--that
treaty right by which there existed German
Confederation, and which treaty right she
smashed to atoms last summer But Prussia
though she has oblterated so much of the
| system then established, wishes to preserve the
advantages it gave her. She can hardly expect
that others should consent for her TO preserve
what she peases OF a system destroyed by her,
when that preservation must be at their ex-
pensc. II has not escaped The keen eye ruling
In France that the destruction OF the treaties Of
1915 has left Luxembourg out Of all the realms
and made it accessible once more to It's natural
owner and il is only natural that Napoleon,
in view of SO much European reconstruction
should demand and require the reconstruction
for France Of defensihle frontier.

naturally hesitates to recede. II i tonic too
