Austria SIN Going Ahead.

The battle Of Sadowa, or K0niggratZ, has
already advanced Austria hundred years in
her governmental reforms, from her thorough
going recognition that down to that fight she
was hundred years behind. the Prussian pro-
gressive spirit of the age. Accordingly, the
successive forward steps Of Austria, in her
satisfactory concessions to Hungary, in her
concessions of religious liberty and liberty of
education and equal civil rights to all classes
and nationalities of her people, have been
among the most remarkable of European events
since her instructive defeat at Koniggratz.
Won Beust was prompt to recognize the great
and momentous fact that the strength Of Prus-
sia was not in her needle gun, but in her intel
lectual and political progress from the efete
feudal system Of the last century. Our last
report from Vienna is that the bill guarantee
ing the right of trial by jury had passed the
lower house Of the Reichsrath. Thus, step by
step. Austria is repairing the damages Of her
late war in the most effective manner The
old Austria, for so many generations the mere
football of France, has almost disappeared and
new Austria, compact and strong, is taking
her place.

powers on this issue stands Chief Justice
Chase, like another Cato, adhering to the con-
sttution, standing stanchly and grandly for
the purity and supremacy of the law and the
institutions of the republic against the adyen-
turers who endeavor by revolution to secure
for themselves that high place and considera-
ton that under the old order would only be
conceded to distinguished ability or exalted
worth. With him stand Fessenden, Hen
derson, Ross, Trumbull, Grimes, Van Wrinkle
and Fowler; for Chase and these men, though
radicals Of the least doubtful type when the
struggle was one against slavery, are, now
that the struggle is against the constitution,
conservatives of the most resolute will. Grant
is with the revolutionary powers-a sort OF
cast iron Caesar, who relies only upon
blind impulse, has faith simply in mere
force, and in this character serves a
purpose. Already he rules ten States,
as a military dictator by the will of these men,
and can easily step from that to ruling the rest
in the same way. For what impeachment is
there? Only moral power; only an idea;

the writ of habeas corpus. Suspend that writ
on any pretext and Grant rules the whole
country as he now does the South. Removing
the President putting in his place creature Of
its own, Congress will have the power to sus-
pend that writ, and if it needs a pretext can
easily make one in disturbance of any sort.
Such is the abyss the nation stands by, and
even decision against these men of the popu-
lar voice may not save us; for if Grant
should be the candidate on one hand and
Chase on the other, and Chase should be
chosen President it is sillthe purpose of these
men to rule by any means. Their very defeat
would make the occasion for suspending the
habeas corpus by their dummy President, ruling
through Grant as dictator, and keeping the
rightful President from his place. Does all
this seem chimera? Let the people remem-
Der that we have had four years of the blood
lest warfare ever known, and that it all began
in party attempt to repudiate the result of

yIiIitnry Government in the f.utl..

One result of the experiment of a military
government in the South, which has now been
in operation for three years, is grand total
of fifteen hundred million dollars of taxes.
Congress has virtually constituted General
Grant military dictator over all the unrecon-
structed rebel States. The laws which it has
passed preventing his removal from Office or
from Washington by the constitutional Com
mander-in- Chief and declaring that al; orders
to the army must be issued through him, so
that not single regiment is at the command
of the President unless the General-in- Chief
consents, have invested General Grant with
ample power not only to maintain military
despotism in the South, but to extend it
over the entire country in case the revolu-
tionary schemes of the dominant radical party
shall be successfully carried out. The essen
tial condition on which the States bordering on
the South will be entitled to retain their
nominal freedom from military control will be-
voting in favor of the radical candidates.
And if, as will be quite natural, the disaffcc-
ton which exists among the white population
in the South shall in time spread to Maryland
and Kentucky, and.even to Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and radical vote can be secured in
those States only by similar pressure to that
employed in the Southern States, the radical
leaders will not hesitate to apply it and subject
them also to military control. Once firmly
established in one section of the country, mill
tary despotism will tend almost inevitably to
widen its limits until they shall embrace all
sections Of the country. Within very few
years it is not impossible that the government,
which the founders of our republic based upon
constitutional freedom, may be replaced by a
military dictatorship with the great powers
centred in Senatorial oligarchy, according to
the projects attributed to certain radical con-
spirators in a recent letter from our Washing
ton correspondent. Whatever may be the
compensating advantages Of such radical
change in our form of government il is certain
that it will involve the doubling or trebling of
our grand total of fifteen hundred million dol
lars Of taxes. The apathy of the American
people in view of the bare possibility that the
schemes Of radical conspirators may yet be
realized is amazing. But the only comment
which can be made if they ultimately submit to
a military despotism is expressed in the pro-
found remark Of De Maistre-''A people has
always the government which it deserves"

The New Tax Bill.

As soon as the Chicago Convention is over
and the corpse Of impeachment decently
buried, Congress will no doubt turn its atten-
ton to the new tax bill reported to the House
Of Representatives last week by Mr.. Schenck,
of Ohio. That thorough reform is needed
in our tax system is generally conceded, and
II is to be hoped that the bill will be carefully
law. Up to this time the Internal Revenue De-
partment has been more profitable TO the gov
eminent officials than TO the government itself.
and the whole business Of taxation appears TO
have been managed with view 10 affording
facilities for plumber. Millions of dollars have
been stolen by public officers. and millions
more have been diverted from the Treasury by
frauds committed by outsiders with the cor
nivance Of revenue officials and vet il is very
rarely indeed that any OF the plunderers are
brought to justice. The new law proposes
some additional safeguards in respect to the
collection Of the whiskey duty, but retains the
tax OF two dollars gallon on distilled spirits
which lies at the foundation of the enormous
frauds that have been committed and OF the
serious decrease o. the revenue from this
source. II the tax should be suffered 10 re-
main as IL lie all the pretended restrictions and
securities will 20 for nothing. The uncons,i-
tutionsi, prying and offensive income tax is
left untouched, and tbeimmunities and prvi-
leges OF bankers, brokers and wealthy manu-
facturers are confirmed. The bill az reported
is. in short, bill for the benefit Of few
favored classes at the expense Of the masses OF
the people, and will require complete re-
modelling If IL is to be made measure Of equal
justice and to be the means Of putting stop
to the wholesale frauds that at present render
the Internal Revenue Department sink Of
rottenness aud iniquity.

Napoleon and His Generals-Peace or War
Whiche


For some time past the Emperor Louis Ma
poleon has been particularly anxious to con-
vinM the world in general, and France in par
ticular, that the empire means peace. or this
doctrine be has in words and for protracted
period been most diligent apostle. 1t is only
few days since, at Orleans-that city Of hal
lowed memories-he repeated the wornout
saying, L'Empire cest la pair." 1t has been
curious to notice how completely acts have
been at variance with words. France, in spite
of peace protestations on the part OF the En-
peror, is being armed to the teeth. This, how
ever, is not all. Marshal Mel, the Commander
in-Chief of the forces, is overwhelmed with
work in recognizing the army. In the enthu-
siasm which is, perhaps, inseparable from his
work he forgets the language of his master.
And now, as we reported in the HERALD Of
Saturday, General Failly, in command of the
encampment at Chalons, lets fall the words, in
the course of an address to the soldiers, "War
is to be regarded as possible" The empire,
according to Napoleon, is peace. The empire,
according to the generals, is sword. Which
speaks the truth? Which is correct?

be this drawback-that the democrats
would be taking the lieutenant TO
run against the captain, giving the radicals
the advantage of the greater hero in point of
military prestige. Still, as we said, Hancock
would be, probably the best military candi-
date the democrats could get. There are a
number Of other aspirants for Presidential
honors we might name, but not so prominent
as those mentioned, and none who could arouse
the enthusiasm of the people. The democrats,
we see, therefore, labor under many Difficult
ties We made an effort some time ago to help
them out Of their dilemma, and trotted out the
gree laval hero Of the war, Admiral Farrag,lt.
but they did not take TO him. They appear
neither to like the smell Of salt water nor gun
powder. They prefer the heroes Of Tammany,
Manhattan or the Western prairies
Wen, what can be done for people in such a
helpless state, or who have not sense enough
to help themselves? Possibly the best chance
for them is TO take up Chief Justice Chase.
The slavery question. on which he differed
widely with the democrats formerly, lie settled,
There lie no longer any issue on that. II can
never come up again. The question Of negro
suffrage also is settled, as far as the action Of
the general government goes. On other issues
he is nearer the democrats than the radicals.
He has always favored the political
school which holds 10 preserving the
State governments from federal encroaeh-
ments, and is to-day the stanch sup
porter of civil authority over the military.
This was shown in his dignifed resistance TO
military despotism in the South when il
attempted TO ride rough shod over the courts.
Then bis conduct during the impeachment
trial shows that in the discharge Of duty he lie
above faction or party influence. His former
friends-the radicals-bitterly denounce him
because he has had the independence and
honesty to act justly. He is q man Of great
ability, and, evidently, is now on the conserva-
tive side Of the great issue of the day--the
conflict between the power Of the national
legislature and the constitutional prerogatives
! Of the Executive and Judiciary. 1.-THE sensible
