THE ABSORPTION or POLAND.

1t appears TO be the general opinion in Ger
many and France that the recent visit of
Prince Napoleon to Germany was made for a
political purpose. No official or semi official
statement on the subject has been published,
but it is naturally snrmised that France is de-
sirous to secure the friendship and cooperation of
Prussia for some part of her foreign programme
If this suppositon is correct, the visit of the "Red
Prince must have concerned the Eastern ques-
ton, in which both France and Austria have
for months been most anxious to enlist the
sympathy of Prussia. The article OF the Beue
Freie Presse of Vienna, one of the best political
papers of Continental Europe, which states the
object of the visit to have been to hold con-
ference with the signers of the treaties OF 1913,
for the purpose of bringing about joint pro-
test against the absorption of Poland, is In
itself very plausible, and probably not far from
the truth.
But whatever the motive of this mission of
Prince Napoleon to Germany may have been, we
know that France and Austria do not hesitate
even officially to attack the foreign policy of
Russia, especially in the Eastern question, and
the language of both Governments toward
Prussia is invariably most friendly. One OF the
principal charges which Austria and France
and on this question they have the full support
of Engand-bring against Russia Is that OF
violating the territorial arrangements OF lSl0-
ridiculous charge, ff we consider that the
Emperor of France has more than once de-
nounced these treaties as detestable, and that,
in 1859, his aid alone enabled Italy TO undo an
important part of these treaties, and wrest a
large province from the Emperors present ally,
the Emperor Of Austria.
But though France. Austria, and England
may have no right to demonstrate with
Russia against violating treaty for which
neither of them has shown a great respect,
joint Intervention, diplomatic or otherwise, III
behalf of Poland, would be enthusiastically ap-
plaudcd by all parties in Europe, especially by
the Liberals. The decree for the absorption of
Poland into Russia is an act of mOnsu0us
iniquity which has hardly parallel in the his
tory of the nineteenth century. 1t is difficult
to see how q Government in many respects so
far-Sghted as that of Russia, and which, i'll
the Eastern question, pleads in justification OF
its plans against Turkey the rights of the
Christian natonalities of that country, should
ever have conceived the idea of suppressing,
by decree nationality.
Russia, after defying the circumstances OF
public opinion and common sense in this ques-
ton, may be too proud to mind the protests of
other European powers. In this case we should
have another European complication, i'll
which, however, the circumstance that Austria
and Prussia are partners of the wrongs OF
Russia against Poland will, probably, be suiii-
cicnt prevent European war.

JERSEY CITY ACT. CAMDEN AND AMBoY.

An Indignation meeting of the people of Jer-
soy City opposed the bill which has just passed the
SewJersey Legislature, granting to the Camden and
Amboy Railroad Company the right TO run a road 100
feet wide through Of the streets OF Jersey
City and also TO take possession OF considerable tract
along the water frontage, TO be used as 2 depot

sunk low that it would need miracle to elevate 1t to
the level OF total depravy. The Chairman then invited
gentlemen who DESTROYS of speaking TO come for

On mounting the platform he said that II ever people

Our letters from Connecticut, printed else
where, show an active canvass. Prominent
Republican speakers are securing the State in
all directions. The prospects are of heavy
and close vote. If the Republican Commit
tees do their duty, and work with a will, we
shall do well all through the State, away down
to the shore line, and up to the cities. In the
cities the Democracy threaten an Eruption of
Resurrectionists and Repeaters. They are
straining every nerve, and it will require a
thorough working Republican organization and
unceasing vigilance to detect their frauds.
Freemen of Connecticut, let not the day be
lost through your negligence. Off with your
coats, and do your best

lectured Congress as for a violation OF
the Constitution for refusing to admit
Rebels like A. H. Stephens, Orr, and Sharkey
to seats in the National Legislature. He had
consorted with Rebels and traitors, and kept
aloof from loyal men. He had one nominal
Cabinet for the public eye, and another secret
Cabinet, of whose meetings the public only

most fit person in courage, force anu
cool wisdom to test this great ques-
ton whether the President were an
autocrat, or whether his powers were limited.
For to conccde that the President could re-
move and appoint all the officers in the country
without the consent of the Senate, that he
could nullify any law he disliked as unconst-
tutiOnal and proclaim anything he liked with
out authority of Congress, as he had done in
his attempts at reconstruction, was to make
him an unlimited despot. 1t was to destroy
the Constitution and the laws, and virtually
abolish Congress and the Courts, and live under
an autocrat. For the fact that We are not re-
duced to this condition we may thank the firm
ness of Congress and the fortitude of Stanton.
These will teach future Presidents TO know
their nlaCc.

We see statements that the new Constitution
of Arkansas has been defeated but thus far
the returns made public do not cOnclusively
prove such a result, though they seem to
Indicate it, 1t is said that the vote of the
freedmen is unexpectedly small, and that Of
the whites opposed to reconstruction CORE
spOndingly large. If So the result will prove
that the new law, permitting majority of
those voting to adopt Constitution, is as
easily thwarted as was the original act requlr-
ing majority of all the voters registered. In
the latter case, the Obstructionists refused to
vote, and by persuasion, threats of violence,
and discharge from work, prevailed upon
thousands of freedmen not to vote. In the
new plan, the persuasion, threats, and deprlv-
ing of work are fully as effectual, while the
white men will poll their last vote to
make negative majority. In either case,
and under all circumstances, the results seem to
prove that the Rebel element in the South are
determined not to- return to the Union until
they can make their own terms. The Const-
tuition of Arkansas is almost a model of its
kind, and is fully up to the spirit of the age.
There are no vindictive measures in it; but 1t
is throughout eminently liberal and enlightened.
But the Rebels of that or of any other OF
the Southern States would vote down the Ten
Commandments if their adoption should even
seem to he a concession to the Congressional
plan of reconstruction.

peals in habeas corpus cases arising from the
Reconstruction acts was sent 20 the Senate
yesterday. it is brief, and contains only the
usual generalities concerning the liberties OF
the citizen and the sacredneSs of the Supreme
Court. An interesting debate TO lowed its re-
ceptiOn in the Senate, which is to be continued
to-day, the understanding being that the vote
is to be taken before the adjournment.

Here il will be seen that while the average
vote is four and a fraction, the fraction is in
every case, with one exception, larger in the
Republican than in the Democratic towns,
showing that the latter dug out their last man
more uniformly than the former. Ii will also
be seen that while two of the abOve-named
Republican towns cast but one vote TO five of
their population none of the Democratic towns
exceeded four, while one fell below it. The
Patriots cry of fraud" therefore, goes homo
to rOost.
The truth is both parties did their very best,
and called out almost their last available man.
In some towns, every man on the checklist
answered to his name, and deposited his vote.
The Democratic party increased their vote
largely by naturalization; the Republicans
retained their majority by more thorough
canvass, and by calling home their absent sons
young men temporarily employed in other
States but retaining their residence there, some
of whom came thousand miles TO cast their
votes.
The ". !. World, which for few days, UNI
der the smart of disappointment, joined in the
stercotyped cry OF fraud, has since given up
that silly dodge, and now boasts that the Dem
ocrats made up The largest portion Of the IN
creased rote in New Hampshire. We quote:
l. The Democrats poled liGl votes in 1863 than
they did 1867 and the Radicals but 1899 mOIe0 oedr
Dsn0cruiit gam Of i92 votes
4. The Democrats have reduced u Radical majority

We notice that the Assembly has passed q
bill authorizing the imposition of further load
of Half Million Dollars on the taxpayers OF
this City to erect new ediice for the Free
college, though it has already splendid
edliice hardly ten years old. We pray the
Senate not to concur. Apart from other weighty
objections we protest against the justice OF
taxing one man to give another mans children
a college education. Common School instruc-
ton is essential to the wise aud safe dis
charge of the duties of republican citizen
ship and a common school system is an
inevitable incident of democratic insti-
tutions We know by the very gene
raj ignorance of immigrants, that people never
was and never will he educated without COM
mon schools. But college education is very
different matter, and should no more be pro-
vided at the common cost than canvass backs
and champagne. This City has already paid
at least Two Millions of Dollars probably
much more-for the support of that college,
and it ought to he transformed into a Normal
School tomorrow. Do not increase the load,
Messrs Legislators if you cannot do us the
justice involved in its removal.

The delegation of the Kingdom of Wurtcm-
berg to the Zollverein Parliament is anti-Prus-
sian as is also that of Bavaria. Even in Baden,
which had heretofore been supposed to DC
strongly in favor of entering as soon as possible
the North German Confederation, candidates
avowedly anti-Prussian have been elected in
about one-half of the districts. OF the aggre-
gate vote, majority is, however, in favor of the
National party advocating union with Northern
