One of our contemporaries publishes .
two-column article which reads like an
obituary on the subject Of the late demo-
cratic organization. All this belongs to
ancient history, and the HERALD deals only
with the living questions Of the day and let's
the past rest in its grave. The democracy
under its old leaders and advisers, has acted
badly enough and foolishly enough, and its
friends should be the last to rake up Its errors
and its follies out Of the oblivion to which 1t
has been consigned IF the real democrats
who believe in the true principles Of the party
will sweep aside all those who have been in
strumental in breaking down their former or
ganization, and will take . new departure,
with new organization, recognizing the great
fact Of the war and It's consequences, and &C
cepting the verdict Of the loyal people on the
subject Of reconstruction, they may yet have
future before them full Of promise and OF
profit But II they continue to run in the old
rut and allow the wornout hacks Of the party
to draw the machine and to control its course,
they must make up their minds to be set aside
with Andy johnson and removed as obstrac-
tions TO the onward progress of the nation

There appears TO be quite revival In the
lottery business just now, the object in many
cases being purely charitable and commenda-
BILE, Notwithstanding that the whole system in
this and other States Is illegal. The Supreme
Court of the United States has just decided
that the federal government has the right TO
collect tax from lottery keepers wherevor
they find that business in existence, without
any regard TO the fact whether the business
was legal under the State laws or not The
lottery business, if 1t did not originate In the
Churches, certainly received Its greatest i'm
petus and encouragement from them In the
numerous "fairs" which have become part
of our Church institutions. People very ma
turally fell into the belief that what was moral
in the Church could not be immoral out Of II.
Thus the lotteries have assumed more or less
of pious aspect, which accounts, no doubt,
for the fact that Mr.. Tilton, of the Independent
strictly religious newspaper, has established
lottery, through which he offers prizes Of q
Steinway piano and . Chickering piano and
various other valuable +hings, for the largest
number of subscribers procured by agents for
his paper. Mr.. Tilton has the reputation Of
being the rival Of Henry Ward Beecher in
religion, of Greeley in politics, and the rival
of both in devotion to strong-minded women.
His new lottery speculation would 60 to prove
that he can beat them both on the main chance
and that he is quite alive to the spirit Of the
nee. - s.ss

Among the tens Of intelligence received by
telegraph and printed by us yesterday, not the
least important Is that which informs us that
Austria, in apprehension Of an early outbreak,
is increasing her military forces on the from
tiers Of both Russia and Turkey. 1t is mani
fest from this that Francis Joseph does not
intend to be mere passive spectator II any
thing like an armed Intervention takes place
in attempting to settle the affairs OF the Forte.
This intelligence, viewed in connection with q
telegram which we have from Madrid, to the
effect that Spain Is about to reorganize ner
army, which is to consist Of two hundred
thousand men, including the reserves, would
seem to indicate that Europe, throughout her
length and breadth, Is rapidly assuming
aghting attitude. The Emperor Of the French,
though possessed ofperhaps the most gigantic
army In Europe, is busy with schemes by
which he hopes to increase at once its num-
bers and efficiency. The armies engaged in
the late struggle have all been maintained On
war footing. Russia, since the Crimean war,
has been quietly husbanding her resources,
and, though not oourting. yet holding herself
in readiness for conflict England. too, has
resolved to make q large addition to the num-
Der Of her iron-clads. Europe, in fact, Is
armed to the teeth. War is evidently ex-
pected, and everything seems to indicate that,
begin when it may, it will be European In its
dimenalons

The City Railroad Jobs mt Albany.

Tho underground and aerial city railroad
projects have agreed to link their fortunes
together, and are to be reported favorably to
the Senate to-day Our correspondent informs
us that the committee who have the interests OF
these two jobs in charge will take ground
against pneumatic railway, because 81 Efficient
opportunity he's not besn had to test 1t, while
they have little doubt of its practicability and
advantages They also oppose another plan
already vigorously pushed at Albany, which
contemplates the construction Of three-tier
railway through the yards and interiors Of
houses. The city railroad war will therefore
open Immediately in the Legislature, and will
no doubt be sharply conducted. All of these
jobs should be defeated. The underground
road would he undesirable, II 1t wore practica-
BILE, and the aerial scheme is nonsensical. The
only proper plan for street railroads in New
York is to build elevated lines on arches, over
the houses or through the blocks as they are
constructed and in use in European cities.
These lines should bo built and run or leased
by the city, and all the present surface rail-
roads should be abolished, tho tracks torn up
and the roads macadamiz.d. Then, with four
or five broad avenues opened to the Battery,
the city would find relief and her trade and
commerce would be nearly doubled. :

Diplouatic Espionage Secretary Seward and
4 gsaa MIR. Motley.

Diplomatic cEspiOnnge-Secretnry Seward and
gats MIR. Motley.
Considerable speculation has been afloat as
to the motives Of the recall of Mr. Motley, our
Minister at Vienna, and the reported offer of
the appointment to Mr.. Cowan, who is about to
be replaced in the United States Senate by
General Cameron. The grounds assigned by
rumor for Mr.. Motley's removal were general
inscoessibility and discourtesy to our travel
ling countrymen. We confess that these
charges surprised us somewhat, inasmuch as
this gen tleman, though bookworm and
rather retired In his habits, is according to all
ve had heard Of him. . very genial and kind
hearted man. An explanation Of the whole
affair, and very curious ono il Ia, makes its
appearance In the correspondence between
Mr.. Motley and tho State Department, which
has just been sent in to the Senate at the in
stasce Of Mr.. Summer. II seems that that gen.
tleman has been extending the hospitalities Of
the legation TO some lowbred countryma1 Of
ours who has been communicating the Minis
ter's post-rrandial condolences to the State De-
partment One of these, uttered in the un-
guardedness of private intercourse, Is reported
to have described Mr.. Seward as ga de-
graded old man." This we take to be
the gist Of the whole offence. The
structures concerning the Presidents policy
were not such as, considering the manner in
which it has been generally assailcd. were
likely to excite much resentment A copy Of
this communication was sent to Mr.. Motley by
Mr.. Seward with demand for an explanation.
The Minister at once replied, expressing his
astonishment that the Department should take
notice Of charges preferred againss him under
such circumstances, and closing the corespon-
dence by sending in his resignation. From the
admissions contained in this letter 1t is evident
that Mr. Motley acted very imprudently in
giving such frank expression to his sentiments;
but it should be remembered that he did so
under his own roof and in the unguardedness
OF private Intercourse. This between gentle
men would have been sufficient to insure
silence, although the listener might have
condemned his views. We have no terms of
contempt sufficiently strong to apply to the
conduct of Che person who thus betrayed the
hospitality he had enjoyed. That the head Of
one Of our government departments should
endorse him and think himself justified In taking
action upon his statements would seem incredi-
ble, If We had not the correspondence before
us. Evidently the prize offered BY Mr.. Jerome
to Princeton College was given in the wrong
quarter. Our educational establishments turn
out gentlemen, but It seems that Official life
spoils them.

outrage upon tho country, upon the mass Of

however, there is nc remedy till the country
wakes up to see the iniquity Of such partial

Prince Alfred for tho Canadian Cenfederatten.
\ II appears that the Colonial Secretary Of
Great Britain has informed the Canadians that
their confederation schems, under the Quebec
conditions, has been sanctioned by the home
government; that the bill will be introduced as
q government measure at the next sitting OF
Parliament and that under this new o-ganiza-
ton Prince Alfred is to be the first Governor
and Royal Viceroy. This young Prince, If
assigned 10 this position, we have no doubt
will cultivate the most advantageous relations
Of amity with the United States from the les
sons of wisdom inherited from his father and
mother, whose counsels, wiser than the policy
OF Lords Palmers.cn and Russell, never looked
to the dissolution Of this Union as desirable
object. We dare say, too, that from the care
full education Of Prince Alfred and his active
experience, observations and advantages AZ q
sailor, he viii he found by the Canadians and
the other provincials interested capable
and liberal Governor, assisted, as he doubtless
will be, by o Cabinet Of experienced states
men. This ia very neat arrangement for the
Prince, and, withal, shrewd political move;
for il may for good while silence the Canadian
anaexaionists. Had Earl Russel's neutrality
been adopted by our government, however, in
the matter Of those Fenian forays, it is proba-
BILE that no member of the British royal family
or government would ever have been able to

Not Willing TO be Mean.

A gentleman of wealth who had been
much addicted to frolies and sports,
was converted and became a member
of one of our churches. This congre-
cation had adopted the ad v0Iorsnl
principle, as means Of defraying its
expenses. In few months after this
gentleman's conversion, the deacons
waited on him in order to make their
assessment; and knowing that he was
rich and his proportion of the expense
would amount to a. pretty handsome
sum, they feared that he would not be
willing to bear it and also that their de-
mand might give him serious offence
and prove injury to them. AT first
ne was at loss to ascertain the reason of
their apparent difidenee. The deaeons
pereeiving this, became of course more
explicit. The gentleman was surprised.
what on earth DO you mesnP r said
he. Did you suppose I would be un-
willing to pay my full proportion :
When / was a man Of the world and
united with others in scheme of pleas
ure | would have deemed myself mean
man had not paid my full proportion
of the expense. Go to the assessors
book, and put me down for the full pro-
portion of the expenses of the church.
Do you think that l intend to be a
meaner man now than l was when 1
was a servant of the devil2
