Hu uxary and Anstria-Deak's Address.

1t will be seen by-a telegram which we print
to-day that Austria's difficulties are by no
means ended. This Is Hungsry's opportunity,
and her leaders are evidently resolved to take
advantage Of It, Hungary wishes autonomy,
at least such autonomy rs Is compatible with
her continued connection with the Austrian
empire. N. Dealr and the more moderate
party who act with him have no desire that
that connection should cease, but ii can only
be maintained by the Emperor Of Austria con-
senting TO rule es the constitutional head OF
the Hungarian kingdom. The plan according
to which the Emperor proposes to reorganize
the entire Austrian army ignores Hungarian
rights and is opposed 10 che autonomy which
Is demanded. NJ Deak warns the Emperor that
the scheme will be fatal, and adlures him 10
concede the claims OF Hungary. When the
moderate party are taking this view Of the
case there IL but one Of two alternatives posi-
ble-either the Emperor must yield or civil
war il inevitable. The Hungarians are in no
mood to retire from their position. II, there
fore, the Emperor is foolish enough to provoke
civil war in the present condition of the en-
pire It will be but one illustration more Of
the faulty which sometimes attends a falling
house.

Much trouble has existed for quite con-
siderable length Of time in certain counties in
Missouri, where law and social order have been
long unknown. Much has been published from
time to time in regard to this state of things,
and men Of high position and experience have
been called upon to explain the cause and
devise remedy. General Grant gave it up;
General Frank Blair, who knows everything,
failed to make anything of it; Governor
Fletcher of Missouri, has met with no better
success; and all that General Sherman could
say was that it would elbow over" Finally
the HERALD came to the rescue, Is in the case
of Juares, who was found by our correspond
emit after every one else gave up the search.
We sent to Missouri one of our correspond
ents, who, after comparatively short time
spent In the Investigation Of the mystery, is
enabled to give the public, through the medium
Of our columns, clear and true account Of the
whole affair. An explanation of state of
things supposed to be inextricably confused
is now easy The facts are that the counties
of Lafayette and Jackson have long been
scourged by a band Of outlaws and rufians
under the leadership Of one Clemmens, who
acted independently of all party feelings,
and robbed and murdered indiscrimi-
nately; and that party of militia
sent against him, under the command
of one Montgomery, behaved in the most scan
dalous manner increasing instead of lessening
the evils they were required to put stop to.
The only good thing Montgomery did was to
shoot down Clemmens, and even that was done
in reprehensible manner. After this act, one
militia company was Withdrawn from the dis
turbed district, signalling its departure by the
robbery Of every person between Lexington and
st. Louis, and obliging those people to hold a
meeting in order to devise some means of
defending life and property and enforcing the
laws without the aid Of State troops. Our cor
respondent mentions the fact that returned con-
fsdsraF soldiers sgs IL No way responsible for
these troubles. but have behaved In the most
exemplary manner, even to the extent of Offer
ing their services to assist in cleaning out"
Clemmens' gang. These offers will probably
never be accepted, while it is possible that
with the death Of Clemmens the gang may
disperse and General Sherman's prediction be
verified. In the meantime, however, the gov
ernnnent'should send to Lexington body Of
United States troops to be used against the
desperadoes should they again show their faces.
Why was General Grants order TO this effect
eoanternanded in Washington . short time
since? We see no reason why SO wise step
should not have been adopted, unless We sup
pose that there are certain men in Washington
anxious that the troubles should continue In
order to make political capital out of them.
Quite likely.

AsoUr Gus CoNrsAcrs.-The House the other
day resolved that the Secretary OF War
be requested to communicate "what con.
tracts for firearms, rifles, carbines and
pistols have been made since April s, 1864;
with whom contracted and the price paid
for each arm; whether any contract for
arms has been extended or renewed, and
IL so, with whom. for what length Of time,
and for what number; whether there has been
an increase of price upon any original contract
for arms or upon any extension or renewal,
and If 80 for what amount and to whom given;
whether any contract for arms has been sub
let by the contractor, and Il so upon what con-
ditions." What does II all mean? Is there
quarrel as to the division Of the spoils among
contractors and the friends of contractors
Thi. communication will be full of interest to
the people, who pay the taxes.

Propositions for Improving the City Of Me-
York-What Should be Done.

Propositions for ImproviaG the City Of New
York-what should be Done.
Several bills have been submitted to both
the Senate and Assembly at Albany for pro-
posed improvements of this city. Among the
most important of these are the bills for open
ing streets and for street railways. Another
bill has for its object to place all such works,
as well as the public squares and places, under
the Park Commissioners. The city authorities
are stirring in the same matters. The Mayor
has recommended the opening Of Fifth ave-
nue. to the Battery. All this Is very we'll, pro-
vided the improvements can be made without
our citizens and the public being Aeeced by
corrupt eliques and rings.
The trouble is that when any Improvement
is proposed i. Is sure to be opposed unless
these rings can ill their pockets by II. IT is
known that the proposed Ann street opening
was ring job.
Now, we are earnestly in favor, az we have
always been, Of improving this metropolis in
every possible way. The business, the wealth,
the attractiyeness, the commanding influence
and the health and pleasure Of the people OF
this great city are promoted by making
improvements. The Park is case in
point. Through great opposition we ham,
merea the idea Of such park into the minds
Of our citizens. Every one now sees that the
cost was small thing compared with the
benefit Of thai great improvement Look
at Paris and see how immensely valuable the
improvements made there by the government
have been. Vast as the expenditures have
been the amount Ia repaid over and over again
by the increased value 10 property and By the
trade and moaey attracted there. Let us, then,
undertake improvements mere with large and
liberal views let our beautiful city rival Paris
in attractiveness; above all, let the work Of
improvement be taken out of the hands OF the
uncuitivated and corrupt men who compose
the rings and cliquea % our city politicians
and be placed under the control ola intelligent
and responsible body like the Park Commits
sioners. These gentlemen have shown their
entire iltuess for such duties By their manage
meni of the Park. Let them. then, be the
Metropolitan Board Of Improvement to carry
on. all the work. proposed Or that may be
useful.

One of the items Of cable intelligence printed
by us yesterday is to the effect that "an inter-
dict has been laid upon the continuance of
religious services In the Scotch Protestant
church, and that q similar step is eontempla-
ted with regard to the services held in the
American chapel" There ID more spice in this
announcement than perhaps II 1lrst sight APP
pears What caa it mean Dees The Holy
Father wish 10 signalizs the closing hours of
his temporal sovereignty by an act which may
be called the climax Of intslerancss This, We
fear, is the light in which this intelligence will
generally be read. We much mistake If the
true explanation ID not very different The
world has become tolerably familiar with the
anti-popish tendencies OF the Scottish Protest
ants-tendencies which have been prominent
since the days of the iconoclast John Knox till
the present time. II is scarcely possible for
these enthusiasts to be other than jubilant over
the apparently unhappy condition into which
the affairs Of the Holy See have fallen. The
prophetic years have been accomplished. The
prayers Of generations have at last been
answered. Anti-Christ has fallen. The last
wretched rags have been torn from the scarlet
woman. We seriously suspect that in the ex-
cess Of their joy they have overlooked the fact
in their public devotions, that they are still
enjoying the protection Of the system they
despise. It is smart and rather becoming in
the old gentlemen to read them lesson OF
common politeness. Bad breeding is always
most effectively corrected when promutly re-
buked. If our American friends have fallen
into the same error they have no cause Of COM
plant if they are similarly corrected.

and in dilapida ed condition. Imagine how
much such a general plan of improvement
would both relieve and ornament the city.
With this carried out, in addition TO the pro-
posed Boulevards around the island and the
yearly increasing beauty of the Park, New
York would rival the proudest cities in the
world.
But the cost-some of our timid old fogies
are apt to exclaim-the cost will be too great
Not at oil, if we keep the work out Of the
hands of the rings. II would be profitable
outlay. We should be more than compensated
in the enhanced value Of property, in the in
crease of business and in saving the time now
lost in our crowded thoroughfares. Besides,
the city might raise large amount annually
from privileges granted 20 companies to lay
railways In the streets. With so many fran
chises as the city possesses there is no neces-
sity to mako these proposed improvements,
great a. they may be, burdensome to the tax
payers. We call upon the Legislature, there
fore, while the subject Of improving New York
Is engaging It's attention, to pass general and
comprehensive law to carry out the improve
ments we have suggested in the manner pro-
posed.

General Bcauregard and the New York
Herald.

General Beauregnrd and the New York
Herald.
General Beauregard has taken unnecessary
trouble to explain the statements attributed to
him in an article published in the HERALD some
two weeks since In this explanation, which
he commences by saying I" the HERALD is in
error" he does not alter a single one Of the
statements attributed to him by us. We will
ingly concede The fact upon which the General
lays 80 much stress, that he made no speech
at Canton or elsewhere to those excursionists."
There is q difference we admit-rather than
discuss so useless q point-between a set
speech and declaration made in converse
tional way. But the General says in his card
to the New Orleans Times that he 'cOnversed
freely" with the excursionists. The point is,
therefore, not whether we are to call the man
ner Of his delivering his opinions speech, but
whether what he said agrees with our state
ment. In the article to which the General
alludes, we make him say three very important
things First, He declared that he was in
favor Of consolidated government" Second,
Tho war had settled the question Of State
rights. Third, That il it were in his power he
would not restore the institution of slavery.
Compare these points with what the General
admits having stated in hin conversation with
the excursionists. We quote from his published
card First, " In conversation with the excur-
sionists, used the words consolidated gov
eminent when speaking of the United States
government" Second, That the South 'baving
appealed to arbitration Of arms, yielded to the
decision which was given against it that !
believed the people of the South were now
willing to accept the constitution as made by
the war and understood by the Supreme
Court" Third, II said also that in my opinion
the questions Of secession and slavery were
forever settled, and so far as was concerned,
under no circumstances would countenance
any effort to revive them" No right minded
person can say, after comparing what is attri-
butcd on the one side and admitted on the other,
that we have done the General any injustice.
His explanation Of the expression consolidated
government" was for him to make, not for US
but he cannot blame us for giving the very
words he used. As we have already said, we
waive the question OF speech, which is quite
immaterial, in fact surrender it uncondition-
ally; but we hold that, in the pith and marrow
Of the thing, the HERALD IL not in error.
