M Disraeli thinks that the superficial as-
"pect of affairs in Europe is threatening" by
which he means that France and Prussia are
still aiming large bodies of men, and inter-
changing diplomatic menaces. We do not think
that war will take place 1t seems that peace
is very much in tho hands of the Liberals of
SPAIN Let Spain be made Republic. Let the
proud and noble Castilian race once again take
its place in Europe as the champion of flag
which means equal rights, religious liberation,
and universal education. France and Prussia
will be under bonds to keep the peace. From
the moment that the Republican flag floats
from the Pyrenees, France is bound. from the
nature of its very existence, to make its insti-
tutions liberal, to broaden its Government to
bring its people into more active cooperation
with the Administration, and TO abandon the
despotc teachings of the First Bonaparte. If
Napoleon is wise, he will see this. If Bismarck
is wise, he will not suly the victory of Sadowa
by attempting to introduce the extinct policy
Of Austria into Prussia. Won Beust seems to
comprehend this fact, and Austria is to-day
more liberal and progressive than any country
in Europe except England. Italy, united, under
n constitutional monarchy, Austria severing
its civil policy from the control of the Pope,
Spain tramplmg into dust the furnished diadem
of the Bourbons, Russia breaking the chains
of millions OF slaves, England granting the
franchise to true Englishmen-this is specta-
Gle at which every lover of his race will re-
joice. To us it seems the beginning of an era
which will bring to the people of Europe free
dom, prosperity. and happiness.

Nrw-yoRK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY NOVEMBER H. 1868

President Is nothing more than a broker shop
for the disposition OF places that any Presi-
dent of gentle and amiable nature, such
man as Harrison. may be driven to death by
the clamorous following of hungry Office
seekers. Gen. Grant will have no difficulty in
filling any places whose occupants should
be changed. lie has q Senate that will
strengthen his hands. He has House
of political and personal friends. Beyond all,
he has the American people. who surround him
with confidence second only to that given to
Washington. If he knows the value of COM
fort and peace, and the necessity Of time for
the fulfllment of the large duties of his Office,
lie will denounce any attempt to burden him
with the responsibility of naming thirty or
forty thousand Postmasters, Revenue lnspec-
tors, and Clerks. We don't object to any
amendatory legislation; we think it may be
found necessary; but we are decidedly opposed
to any attempt to proptiate tho new Admins
tration by surrendering any of the necessary
measures of Congress.

A glance at our Louisiana table shows that
Grant received 1 vote and Seymour 1885 in
Parish where Az Whites and 1905 Blacks were
registered last year. In Caddo, where the reg
istry stood 1887 Blacks TO III Whites, Grant
gets vote and Seymour 1896. ST. Mary,
East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, and other
Parishes show similar figures. But ST. Landry.
the scene of the late Rebel massacre, goes the
whole hog, casting 1890 votes for Seymour and
none for Grant though 3,1O2 Blacks were reg
istered in that Parish last year, This is liberty
and freedom of elections as guaranteed by Mr..
johnson through his beloved follower Rousseau.

Reyerdy is sad. The emotions that overcome
him are almost as painful as those which
brought tears to the eyes Of the vrtuOus and
much abused Pecksniff. The wounds of Peck
sniff are not to be compared to those which
Reverdy has received from the American people.
Tom Pinch and John Westlock and his nu-
merous relations, and even that cOn6ding young
genius Chuzzlewit, not to speak of Mr.. DlOuldy
and the rich old grandfather, united in betray-
ing the cOnfding architect Reverdy told the
English nation the other evening, that he had
been greatly criticised for the manner in
(Which he had received offered civil
cites while in this country, but such
STRUCTURES on his conduct had not
affected the negotiations which were in prog
"ress. However dissatisfied people in England
cor in America may be, they will find that there
is no ground for such feeling" Far be it
from us to intrude upon the gIicfs so magnani-
mously avOwed by Reverdy johnson. No one
objects to his negotiations" nor to the Ordi-
nary interchange of "civilities." No one ex-
pected Mr.. Johnson to carry to England any
of the griefs or OF the resentments of the war
but we certainly did not expect that the men
whom he would single out and publicly honor
as his friends would be the enemies of our
country. We did not expect HIM to embrace
nobemen like Lord Wharnclife, who
had taken prominent part in favor
of the Rebels. or spectators like
Laird, who had built privateers TO destroy our
commerce, and even going so far as to cvado
and dishonor his flag by sending them surrep-
titiously to sea, or demagogues like ROebuck,
who publicly insulted the American people in
the presence of its minister, by his degrading
and loathsome rhetoric. Reverdy should be
allowed to return to Maryland. and, by the
quiet waters of the Chesapeake, to brood upon
tho ngratitude of his couutrymen. He GER
tainly is needed no longer in London.

A correspondent makes the suggestion than
fraudulent voting at the approaching Charter
election may be avoided by having the Regis
tries thoroughly examined between tins tImo
and the day of election, and complete list
made of those registered names which are BOT
represented by persons living at the places
named in the registry; and also of all which
appear to be registered in more than one cleo
ton district Then let whosoever offers 10
vote on such names be arrested, and the ques-
ton tried. This should be done.

TIE STATE or TAMMANY.

Those of our friends who have felt scrupes
rs 10 whether the State of New York has any
right to exert a redeeming influence over the
politics of the City, may now find relief IN the
fact that the question is changed, by tho late
election of Hoffman, into tho more vital one
whether the City shall rule the State. If the
people of the rural districts have had any
doubt whether they had greater interest in
the good government of this City than they
have IN that of Kamschatka, such doubt must
be dispelcd when they see this City, owing to
its local msgoycrnment, give the electoral vote
of the State to Seymour by 10000 fraudulent
ballots and elect II Governor and.State officers
by the like dishonest means. This shows that
unless the State govern tho City the City will
certainly govern the State. Tie ErcRtng Post
has n pleasant theory that our misgOyernment
in matters still remaining under the sway of
tho 1ammany Ring is due TO the fact that the
control Of the Police, Health, and Fire Depart
mcnts has been taken from them and Is con-
Quoted with greater purity. We supposed that
misgovernment caused the withdrawal of these
powers, not that the dimnution of the powers
of the City caused its misgoyernment. But
The EreHiag Post thinks the rolled water runs
ND the stream instead of down, aud that the
wolf is innocent, while the lamb is greatly to
blame. Does the fact that Mayor Hoffman has
ceased TO control the police in any way cause
him to make the Court House cost $7OO0,OOO
instead Of $2000,OO)l If the City Government
il faithles. rotten, and corrupt over few
things, would it become faithful ii It's sway
were extended over many thingSl
Nor are we able To understand how the con
diton of things would be improved by erecting
New York and its cnyir0ns into the State of
Manhattan. 1t would lose control thereby
over the railroads and canals which it has built,
and which in turn have added TO its wealth
and prosperity. The new State would be In
effect an alien commonwealth, ruled by an
irresponsible and reckless element such as in
all the other States of the Union is kept in Il
minority, of power if not of numbers. We
trust it may be long before we shall be exposed
to the horrors OF State government abso-
lutely controlled by the New-Yorll City Dem
ocracy. But if such new State is to be
formed, let us not call it Manhattan" but
frankly accept the situation and call it Tam
many"

RenubIican In Texas or Oregon might SEND us

the National obligations will be certainly paid

of their superabundance even more than the
apprehension that they may not be duly PAID.
Hence. we deprecated the reduction of Federal
taxes last Winter. Had The taxes on Manuiac-
lures been retaned,'we might have cancelled
at least $10O,0OO,0OO per annum of the National
Debt indefinitely; and the prospect OF
such redemption would soon have brought
our Five Per Cents to (gold) par, and enabled
us to convert our FiveTwcnties tSixes) into a

short Five per cent.
We hold, then, that the very best use that
can be made OF the surplus gold i'll the Treas
ury Is to pay off interest bearing Debt with II,
and thus necessarily appreciate the value OF
our still outstanding securities. We have re-
peatcdly suspended and resumed Specie ray

moro gold than when we suspended, but be-
cause much debt had meantime been Cancelled

every 500 so sent il will do US excellent SER
vice, even with reference to Resumption
The residue, having left tho Treasury, will set

ample room for it. SO, as step toward Re

our National Debt

When Gen. Lee really found that Grant had
reached AppomattOx, and that Sheridan was
in his 'front.' he quietly walked up to that cele-
brated "apple tree" and surrendered his
sword. The chivalrc Virginian recognized an
accomplished fact. Now that Grant is Presi-
dent Gen. Wade Hampton, "and number OF
prominent Democrats, called in body on
" Gov. Scott of South Carolina, and declared
" their determination to accept cheerfully and
"abide by the decision of the people, to stand
"by the State Government in its acts,
"and TO use all their influence in in
ducing the people throughout the State
ito do likewise" This is wise on the part
of Gen. Hampton. Like his commander, he
also recognizes on accomplished fact. He
knows when it is time to fight, and when to
make peace. 1t is very well TO keep the South
in an uproar, and have the Ku-Klux Klan in
every forest, perpotrating midnight massacres,
and burning schOol-hOuses. These things are
easy so long rs President Johnson is ut Wash
ngton, with Generals like Rousseau and
Steedman in command. Gen. Grant in Wash
ngton puts another phase upon affairs. 1t

ton thinks "that the future prosperity of
"the State depends upon a hearty and unani-
nous support of the Government" We think
so, too. The ways of peace are open to these
gentlemen of the South. They arc ways of
pcasantness, prosperity, and comfort to all,
and tho South sorely needs all the blessings
and all the strength that can be given TO her.
The moral result of Grants election is all that
will be required TO bring tho South back TO
hearty support of tho Government. Gen.
Hampton does wise thing in acknowledging
this fact so promptly.
