Failure of tho South German Dund Ncgotia

Failure Of tho South German Dund Ncgotla.
lions.
By cable despatch from London, dated
yesterday evening, we have report to the ef-
feet that the treaty negotiations concluded be-
tween Napoleon and Francis Joseph at Salz-
burg for the formation of South German
confederation, undor the presidency Of Aus
tris, have resulted in "signal failure" and
that the Bavarian government has forwarded q
positive refusal in reply to the invitation Of
their imperial msjesties asking the King to
assent to and join the Bund.
Should this intelligence prove correct, as is
very probable, Napoleon's prestige will have
received another very damaging blow before
the peoples, and the growing union Of the
hereditary rulers by "divine right will be still
more firmly cemented thereby. It will have
been demonstrated that Bavaria, even if as
sured Of the support both Of France and Aus
tria, dare not ally herself as reactionist
against the overpowering voice Of North Ger
many, pronounced in favor Of national progress
as heralded and conducted by Bismarck
towards united Fatherland, and that Bona
parte cannot bend Europe TO his will, even II
his vast army should be reinforced by the reor-
ganized legions Of reconstructed Hungary.
Bavaria is placed in dangerous position,
from which she cannot completely extricate
herself except by hearty endorsement Of tho
Prussian policy. Her hidden sympathy with
Austria cannot avail her any, and prolonged
hesitation may end in converting her territory
into great battle Aeld, from which her crown
may disappear.

During the war we heard nothing Of cho lera
or yellow fever. Yellow Jack did not venture
to visit even New Orleans, after General Butler
assumed command Of the Crescent City; and
this was not due simply 70 the fact that, with
oil bis faults, the Lowell General deserves The
credit Of having enforced moro string emily
than ever the hygienic laws which protect q
town against epidemics Other causes were
operative in securing this happy result. But
now that "this bloody war is over" the news
papers, the doctors and the old women every
whore are predicting cholera, yellow fever
and all other epidemics. If we review the
history Of our four years war; we shall discover
that its manifold excitements were stronger
than the causes which are usually prov ocative
Of epidemics. The prophets of the Old Testa-
ment used to threaten war. pestilence and
famine; but they never threatened ell these
infections at once and together; and, in fact,
these evils never visited any people at one
and the same time When war ragged there
was no pesilence, and usually no famine; but
these came only after war was ended and peace
proclaimed. During the wars of the Crusades,
for instance, Europe enjoyed singular immu-
nifty from the scourges Of pestlence and
famine, which, after those wars were ended,
came in their fury to decimate the populations
that had been spared by the sword.
The public health is very clearly dependent
upon the condition Of tho public mind.
Both the cholera and the yellow fever
may be safely deded by those whose nervous
systems are insensible to the irritstions Of
alarm. What prescriptions, then, can we offer
in opposition to the silly but perniciou pre-
dictions of the doctors and other old womenf
We appeal to the public, and ask IL the most
learned physicians can supply any better pre-
scriptons than three which we propose, In
order to outgeneral the doctorsi The war
and ih excitements have passed beyond recall
but we can get up, frst an extraordinary reli-
gious revival, which, II otherwise as fruitless rs
that which swept over the land not long before
the outbreak Of the war, may at least be
oountcrirritant to the apprehensions excited
by predicted epidemics secondly, we can
pour oil on the flames Of political exctement
which are beginning TO burst forth in every
State and, thirdly, as the public mind is elated
by the reports eta nattering prospect for crops
throughout the country, we can begin at Wall
street and kindle q revival Of money making
that shall extend over the United States. We
call upon tho parsons, the politicians and even
the rogues In Wall street to second our efforts
to neuHalize the poisonous effects Of the dec.
tors prescriptions and predictions For our
own part we have no belief in epidemics, and
we firmly hold that they can be prevented BY
what the late DR.. Chalmers would call "ths
sxpulsive power Of new aGection''--that b
to say, BY any intense and healthy excitement
Of the public mind that shall drive out the
DIRE ad Of predicted epidemics.

m. rre.p.o.. Il q. Money MARKET.

The rrespocts Of tho Money Market.
There Is some apprehension felt in Wall
street that the money market will become
stringent during the fall in consequence Of
drain of currency westward to move the
crops, and the bears on the Stock Exchange
have been making capital out of the. fears
which they have excited on the subject. There
is no just cause for such fears, however, and
they are entirely without reason. Money Is in
excess of the demand at four and FIVE per cent,
and is likely to continue without material
change for some time TO come. The drain
westward may advance the rate for call loans
to six and seven per cent in October, but
there will in all probability be an ample
supply at these figures up to the close Of the
year, when the return dow from the West will
far more than Offset the requirements of the
South to move the cotton crop.
Moreover, there Is a prospect Of an influx Of
capital from Europe when the demand here is
sufficiently great to secure it's employment at
Eve or six per cent At present money
commands only one and half or two per cent
in England and, in fact, all over Europe, and
capital In large amounts must be attracted
before long across the Atlantic. Already some
millions Of dollars have found their way here
from England, and we may look upon these as
the Hrst indications of the way the tide is set
ting. The abundant harvest which is now
nearly gathered promises TO contribute largely
to the general prosperity Of the country, and
there is nothing in the aspect Of monetary af
fairs that Is not encouraging. tits even good
sign that the stagnadon Of capital at this centre
is likely to give place within month or two to
something approaching healthy activity.

new Contuct TOT tho Frostdeut.
We want new national Cabinet Therein
lies the solution Of the whole difficulty between
thePresident and Congress. The time demands
live men. Let the fossils be assigned quarters
In the Smithsonian Institution. In the Treasury
Department let Us have either Alpheus
Sherman, Of this city, or John J. Cisco, or
Henry r. Stebbins. They are all superior to
Mr. McCulloch, who will do very well to
manage q small banking establishment in q
frontier town.
For the Navy let US have Admiral Porter,
ad interim, like General Grant in the War
Once for an infusion Of dash and spirited
management into that Department will enable
US 10 show to foreign nations that we still live.
II Is, however, in the Secretary's Office particu-
larry that we require change. The ancient
representative Of the armadillo family who
presides there Is too far advanced In his
dotsge, permits the adoption Of no idea that
is not born Of his own brain, which, hsving
ceased to produce, now leans entirely upon
the President As Secretary, therefore, let us
have man Of broad and comprehensive intel
lect, like John A. Andrew, Of Massachusetts,
or Daniel T. Sicklss, or Charles Francis Adams
In the other Cabinet positions, leaving Gen.
sral Grant in the War. Once, We give the
President liberty to put in any sticks be may
choose they are Of no account any way.

The Proposed New Secretary of tho Treasury.
II the anticipated changes in the Cabinet
should be made, it is to be hoped that the new
Secretary Of the Treasury, whoever he may be,
will be required to institute Q thorough inves-
LEGATION into the management and doings Of
the Department from the commencement Of the
war down to the present time. The character
Of our government and the credit Of our ma
tional securities depend upon suoh an sxsmi-
nation, and In the selection ola successor to Mr.
McCulloch the choice should fall only upon Q
man suitable to prosecute it with efficiency and
fearlessness Statements are a6oat Of the most
extraordinary description. regarding alleged
abuses. corruption, imbecility and waste In the
Treasury Department, which are gradually and
surely undermining public confidence in the
government at home. and seriously injuring
our credit abroad. The country Il rich, and
Our vast resourceg will enable Us to pay OF our
national debt in twenty years, If we only have
properly organised Treasury Department
and II our affairs OF finance and currency are
honestly and judioiously administered. But
before confidence In our government securities
can be restored there must DO . thorough over
hauling Of the Department, and the rumors and
suspicious that now gather darby over It must
be entirely cleared away.
