An Error or Worse 2

In o recent letter to the London Post Mr..
Ashbury, an English yachtman, publishes the
following as ON extract from the NEW YORK
HERALD Of July 20, 1867
II Is impossible to hide the fact that England has
no yacht that could possibly compete with any hope
or success against the Dauntless across the Attain
tic, and notwithstanding oil the bounce that Is being
TO every seaman that In an ocean race she would DO
no match whatever against the American yacht
Excuses may be made, out they will DO merely ex-
cuses.
In the same letter he publishes the follow
ing as an extract from the HERALD Of the 3lst
Of the same month -
The challenge OF the Dauntless to race the cham
New York, on the list september next, win orrer
lair opportunity for Judging whether the pluck OF
the English yachtmen Is up TO the occasion, or
whether they are willing to DO left behind III manly
sport In which they have hitherto claimed to be
leaders. II their courage should fail them now their
inland matches channel races and little pleasure
trips within haiing distance OF the shore VIII seem
like chlds play beside the achievements OF Amerl-
can yachts. The fact Is the 'swells' OF the royal
yacht clubs OF Great Britain must make up their
minds to extend their pleasure EXCURSIONS TO the
American coast unless they are content to be styled
dry water yachtmen Tor the rest OF their days
AS Mr.. Ashbury has been the boidest or British
yachtmen on paper, public expectation points TO him
as the fitting pioneer In these new and more ex-
tended contests invited by American daring. Let us
hope that the zeal and confidence he expressed
few months ago WILL not have abated next septem-
Dor.
We are only induced to notice these para
graphs FROM the feeling that justice to ourselves
demands the declaration that it is o false
charge to attribute these paragraphs to us.
Whether they are frauds, through and through,
sheer fabrications with motive, we cannot
say, but they were not extracted from the
HERALD, and not sentence that resembles
them, or that could by any ingenuity be
twisted into such shapes, appears in the papers
of the dates given. In neither of the dates
alleged does the HERALD discuss the topics they
touch-they are spurious paragraphs. We
cannot divine what motive Mr.. Ashbury could
have for putting in our mouth words that
would be in such bad taste, and that might 80
justly be offensive to English yachtmen.

Prussia and Russia.

BY cable despatch we arc informed that the
Gar Of all the Russias has conferred the
Grand Cross of the Order of St. George upon
the King of Prussia, ''as proof of the cordial
relations existing between the two countries"
This is proof Of the unmistakable policy that
must be followed by these two great Powers in
order to confront any political combinations
that may transpire in Southern or Western
Europe, especially In reference to France.
Reports have been circulated respecting the
completely Of Russia and Prussia in the recent
instruction in Dalmatia, but in turn have
been promptly and officially contradicted. The
sentiments known to exist between Russia and
Turkey on the one side, and the jealousy that
but recently gave rise to some difference
between the Cabinets of Prussia and Austria
on the other, were well calculated to foster the
supposition that indirect means might have
been employed by which to annoy their respec-
tive adversaries. Such would naturally result
by fomenting the instruction in Dalmatia, and
therefore to q certain extent warranted the
supposition. In reference to graver matters,
however, the two great nations of Russia and
Prussia know that they must go together in
order to combat alliances that may be closed
by any Of the other great Powers of Europe
and although political matters may wear
peaceful outward aspect for the moment there
is no telling how soon the clouds of war may
gather on the horizon.

ROCHESTER,, Dec. 10, 1860.
Frans Joseph Messner who was to have been
hung In this city to-day for the murder OF his wife
was granted stay OF proceedings this morning BY
Judge Grover OF the Court Of Appeals, on the
ground of irregularity In the proceedings of his
trial. Three gentlemen left this city late
yesterday and arrived at Judge Growers
residence In Angelica about one O'Clock this
morning After obtaining he order they started
back and had the good fortune to catch the various
trains which they had TO take to reach the city
before the execution During their journey they
were compelled to make ghteen miles each way in
road wagon ana arrived az the jail just Messner
had dressed himself and preparations were beng
made to lead him to the gallows. The poor fellow
had passed restless night ana looked
fearfully careworn when he received
munion at the hands OF the priest. On
hearing OF the respite by which his case Will be
carried TO the Court OF Appeals the first Tuesday
In January he sank into his seat and endcavored TO
thank his beneactors, but Tor few moments he was
unable to utter word. lie finally recovered him

THE VIoERoY AND THE SULTAN.-The Vice.
roy has complied with the Sultan's ultimatum.
All its conditions have been yielded to. This
will 60 on as he has been doing. Apparently
the Sultan has humbled his vassal; really the
vassal remains master of the situation. Egypt
will go ahead as before, and the Sultan will
not again rashly raise difficulty.

TIE FUNNIEST THING IN FNANoE.-It Is
one Of tho most incomprehensble things that
John Bull should fancy that there Is any value
in Confederate bonds and should still hold them
in such esteem that they can improve in price"
in any given circumstances. But still, as
there apparently are people in London who
will buy such things, we will give them the
latest quotations. Two and half millions in
these bonds were sold here the other day for
thirty-ive dollars. They were bought as
curiosties.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. London Times
suggests the names of two eminent New York
lawyers, whom it invites to state the facts and
the law in relation to the Alabama claims.
Its sudden, if tardy, desire for information is
commendable. But it only needs to consult
the files of the New YORK HERALD in order to
learn both the facts and the law. 1t can then
say to the British government the facts are
that during the late war sixty odd American
vessels were destroyed by English pirates.
The law is, you must pay.

THE BURLINGAME CHINESE TREATY.-This
instrument has been ratified by the imperial
attested form by special messenger to Wash
ington. This important intelligence reaches
us by a special cable telegram, which we pub
lish to-day. In view Of the interest which
will attach to the news we republish
from the HERALD file copy of the
text Of the treaty as it was signed by Mr.. Bur-
lingame and the Chinese Ministers and for
warded TO us from Washington. The document
sets forth the mutual advantages which will
accrue to the two nations-the most ancient
and youngest on the glQbe-from its fruition
and fulflment, and thus gives much promise of
happy international future.

Two Coop THINGS FOR PHILADELPHIA

THE ANTI-PAPAL CONGRESS AT NAPLES num-
bers two hundred delegates from Italy and
twenty from other countries. Garibaldi, Victor
Hugo and other leading radi cals are not
present, but have sent letters Of excuse and
sympathy. Thus at Rome and at Naples the
antagonistic forces of opinion are drawn up in
battle array, and stand as 1t were face to face,
ready and eager for the impending conflict.

upon the press and the general business inter
osts of tho country. it is, in reducing the
revenues of the General Post Office, steadily
contributing to swell the expenses of the
Treasury and the taxes upon the people.
Under the constitution Congress has 'tho
power to establish post Offices and post roads,
the power to regulate commerce among the
all laws necessary to carry these powers into
execution, which amply embrace the power to
take possession of the whole telegraph system
of the United States as properly belonging to
the Post Office Department, and the power to
regulate all the railroad lines Of the country.
The necessity for the exercise of these powers
is already sufficiently apparent for action. We
see that under ON overshadowing telegraph
corporation there can be no such thing in this
country as freedom of the press. In the matter
Of news 1t can only be free to the extent to
which 1t may be able here and there to act in
defiance of such telegraph corporation. We
have seen that control of the telegraph is
necessary to the government not only in war,
but, touching the operations of Wall street,
necessary in times of peace. Give telegraph
monopoly the chance and upon the symptoms
of financial panic it may swamp the Treasury.
We see that our State courts and State Legis-
latures can be bought up or twisted to suit the
purposes Of dominant railway corporations,
and that the only remedy lies in Congress.
Hence we entirely agree with General Butler,
that the time is near when the country will
have to grapple with these telegraph and
railway monopolies, and the sooner the better
it will be for the country and the Treasury.

There seems to be no good reason why tho
opening Of the Suez Canal, with all its para
mount success, should not bring the valuable
trade Of Australasia into direct connection with
France. In olden times, when the products OF
the far East reached the Mediterranean over
land by caravans across the desert, when the
Red Sea was the great water connection
between India and Southern Europe, the cities
on the Mediterranean were the recipients OF
the wealth of Indus" But when navigation
had taught the British nation to circumnavigate
the Cape e.trade of the East drifted in that
direction and England almost monopolized the
whole Of it. The opening of the Suez Canal,
however, has brought about change. The
old cities on the Mediterranean have new
life open to them. The fame of Tyre, Sdon
and Carthage, and the more modern cities Of
Magma Grecia, which were the glory of that
day-a fame that Genoa the Superb, and
Venice Of the Doges once shared-may be
restored to the still more modern ports of
Southern France through the medium Of tho
Suez Canal. Some such thoughts are
evidently agitating the French mind just
now, when suggestions are made to coalescs
with the colonial government of Australia in
the establishment OF such route as would
bring the products of Australia-principally
wool-to market in Marseilles. 1t is urged
that Australian wool and Indian shawls, spices
and other products Of the East which are con-
sumod in France 60 direct to London, and that
French products for the Australian market have
to 60 to the British colony by the same cham
mel. The proposition just made is to open a
direct communication between Australia and
the southern ports of France by means of the
Suez Canal.
1t may be that the cost of transshipment Of
wool by this route would overbalance the loss
of time in sending it by the ocean route round
the Cape; but, after all, that is an expert
ment worth trying. There 10 no doubt that
the products Of India could be received in the
French markets upon more advantageous
terms by the Suez Canal than via the Cape
and London, and might be thus restored to
the Mediterranean its ancient prestige as the
maritime highway from the East to Central
and Southern Europe
