The Huss Anniversary.

At Prague, on the 4th. 9Th and 9Th of this
month-Saturday, Sunday and Monday
will be celebrated the five hundredth ami
versary of the birthday of John Huss Great
preparations are on foot to give this festival
an imposing character. All parts of Bohemia
and Moravia will be represented by deputa-
tons. A large number of guests are invited
tries. France and England are also to send
their contingent of visitors. 1t is stated that
Guizot, Victor Hugo and other distinguished
Frenchmen will be present. This festival, in
tended to do honor to the memory of a man
who inaugurated one of the most remarkable
movements in medieval Europe, is suggestive
| of many reflections at the present time. 1t is
! foar hundred and ffty-four years since John
| Huss was burnt by order of the Council of
| Constance, and after death his ashes scat
tered to the winds. According to the SEN
tence his body was delivered to the fire and
| his soul to the devils. This was done although
German emperor had pledged his word to
give the great Doctor Of Prague safe con-
duct to the Council and back
1t was supposed that with the death of Huss
the ideas which he represented would be
'stifed. What was the result? All Bohemia
rose up, and for twelve years undiscplined
peasants babe defiance to the best troops
which the empire could send against them,
and compelled Rome and Germany to make
terms with men whom they affected to look
upon al heretics and rebels. All this would
have but little interest at the present day,
except for the student Of history, were it not
| for the fact that questions raised in Bohemia
| by Huss in the fifteenth century are pre-emi-
nently the questions of to-day in Europe. On
their proper settlement depend the peace and
development of the world. OF these questions
one is political and the other religious
At the present time peoples of the same
race and language are striving to form them
selves into homogeneous groups. This has
given rise to what is now called the question
of nationalities, which is without doubt the
chief political question of Europe in our time
The great struggles and rivalries are be-
tween governments which have placed them

and those whose personal or dynastic interests
are opposed to it. The animating idea OF
Germany is united fatherland, which till
Bsmarck's time seemed to be merely dream
of poets, but which since the battle of Sadowa
is fast becoming reality. Austria, unable to
bring about German unity, does not wish that
it should take place under the auspices of her
great rival; hence the grievances of Count
Beust, who, If we may believe his speeches and
dispatches, bestows much unrequited love on
ungrateful Prussia. France, of course, cannot
but give word Of sympathy to the ill-used
Austrian Chancellor. She sympathizes with
his separatist movements, fearing that united
Germany might have too much significance and
the "Grande Nation" be forced to take second
instead of the arst place in Western Europe.

Progress Of Reform and Fanaticism II
Russia.

Progress Of Reform and Fanaticism In
Russia.
The last budget of foreign news received
from Europe informs us of still greater reforms
contemplated in Russia. The most prominent
is doubtless that Of the institution of trial by
jury, which is to be organized throughout the
empire, with the exception of Poland, Finland
and the Baltic provinces. The Gear, however,
has shown his forethought in granting this i'm
portant privilege by calling upon all the gov
ernors of districts to prove that their juris-
dictions really contain sufficient number Of
intelligent men to undertake such great re-
sponsibility. This one fact indicates his wis
dom, and similar application could well be
made to countries generally supposed to be
more civilized. The fact in question was re-
Gently illustrated in Welsh court, where the
proceedings were conducted in the English
tongue, and when the jury were empanelled
in order to decide the verdict it was discovered
that only two or three of the members could
understand the language in which the case
had been pleaded The Gear, therefore, has
adopted wise measure, and his precaution
implies that he is willing to grant liberties pro-
viding that the people are prepared to receive
them. Such acts will necessarily have their
good results, and, although distressing occur
rences of religious fanaticism have lately been
brought to light in various parts of the empire,
the people cannot fail to perceive that the only
path leading to social freedom is that of en-
lightenment. The very people who are now
fanatics or religious madmen when enlight-
ened by judicious influence toward a nobler
object will be the first to cooperate
in the path Of progress. Many parts Of
this vast empire are still far from being
civilized-that is, according to our in
depreciation Of the word; but the now con-
templated lines of railroads and telegraphs
and the influence of the opening Of the Suez
Canal cannot fail to effect material change.

STREET RAILWAY AocIDENrs.-On Tuesday
morning, at nine o'clock, the pole Of wagon
was driven through the front window Of car
of the Broadway line coming down West
Washington place. The passengers and the
driver on the platform were knocked of.
Several of the passengers had pieces of glass
driven into them. The alarm in the car was
great, and the ladies refused to ride any
farther. 1t is miracle that death was not
the result of this fresh instance Of culpable
carelessness. Is there no remedy for the
reckless driving which has so frequently Of
late occasioned similar accidents ? Surely
there il somebody to blame for them.

A MINIATURE YACHT EXCURSION. re-
produced yesterday from the Edinburg Scots
man an account of an adventurous voyage
which Mr.. Empson Edward Middleton has un-
dertaken and has already more than half COM
pleted, with the purpose of crcumnavigating
the coast Of England, alone and unaided. in
his yacht Kate, boat of twenty one feet keel
by seven feet beam and three tons burden.
This Is voyage without parallel in the an
nails of yachting. Its successful completion
will surpass in interest the passage of that
queer little craft, the Red, White and Blue,
across the Atlantic. Let US hope that Mr..
Middleton will favor the world with as charm
ing recital Of his adventures as Mr.. john
Macgregor has given of his own in "A Thou
sand Miles in the Rob Roy Canoe on Rivers
and Lakes Of Europe" in 'sThe Rob Roy on
the Baltic" and in ''The Voyage alone in the
yawl Rob Roy from London to Paris and back
by Havre, the Isle Of Wight, South Coast,
&c. Such books as these are full of whole
some reading.

Congress.

The New Telegraph IuventiOn-A Call Upon
Congress.
The new invention of an automatic system
several times, is of such vast Importance to
the public, the press and government, if prac-
ticable, that Congress should at once on reas-
sembling make an appropriation to test its
merits. AS we understand 1t, there seems to
be no doubt that this invention Is most valua-
BILE and calculated to create a revolution in
telegraphing, as well as in the social inter-
course and business transactions Of the world.
The facilities of communication will be in
creased eightfold or more with little addi-
of charges for telegraphing must be very much
reduced. To the government itself it will be
worth millions, but to the general public its
value will be incalculable. What does q hundred
thousand or two hundred thousand dollars
amount to, if that sum be needed to make the ex-
pertinent, in comparison with the results? Did
this or any other government ever spend thirty
thousand dollars 81 pg9atsb9ly as When that
sum was appropriated by Congress, in 1s43, to
try the first telegraph line between Washington
and Baltimore? The vast Improvement in tele-
graphing which in all probability will be the re-
suit of this new automatic invention is scarcely
less important than the original discovery.
Let the necessary sum be promptly and freely
appropriated, then, to test the invention, and
let the government prepare to take and use it
for the public good, and not permit it to be
held by the existing or any future monopoly.

TWEED OR BELMONT. The war goes bravely
on. Read the communication in behalf of the
Irish democracy against Belmont which we
publish to-day. 1t is strong card in exposi-
ton of the claims Of the Irish democrats to the
monopoly Of the spoils Of this island; but still
the claims Of the Germans cannot with safety
any longer be neglected. The Germans who
elected Godfrey Gunther Mayor over Boole,
the Tammany candidate, are up again, and II
their rights are not respected they intend to
know the reason why. The indications point
to regular split between our Irish and Ger
man democrats, and a fine chance in this city
for political revolution Of the biggest kind.

Return of the Harvard Crew-A Public
Reception.
Five of the Harvard celebrities were to have
left England yesterday on the steamer City of
Antwerp for New York. They included Mr.
Loring, Mr.. Fay, Mr.. Blaikie, the starter of
the race Mr.. Elliott, the builder of the boat,
and Mr.. Ticknor, another member of the club.
Thus far they are representative men in this
late grand contest for supremacy of American
Craftsmanship on English waters, and as such
are justly entitled to all the honors due to gen.
tlemen who have fulfilled all their duties 80
gallantly in this great international and inter
university race. Of course they will receive
public reception upon their arrival In this city
quite as worthy of their deeds as though they
had come back to us crowned with victory.
The boat clubs, we notice, are resolved to give
them hearty welcome, and no doubt they will
see that their brethren of the oar will be pro-
perly taken care Of; but the whole public
should join in the welcome. Tho Harvard
crew were the recipients Of a banquet
at which such men as Dickens, Mr.. Hughes
and others took special care to do
them honor. We must not be behind the
English people in according to our brave boys
q recognition of their pluck and prowess in
doing that which Dickens in his speech called
the feat of ''handful Of daring fellows, who
made dash of thousands of miles in order to
meet conquerors on their own domain" At
the English celebration in the Crystal Palace
at Sydenham our boys were made to forget,
by kindly words and genuine laudations which
partook of feelings deeper than mere words,
that they were the vanquished and not the
victors. Let us fill up all which is left of that
generous feeling by assuring them that their
countrymen not only applaud their efforts in
the late contest but that they count upon
more propitious termination to the next trial,
| which ought, of course, to take place in
| American waters. In short, let us give the
Harvard crew rousing and genial reception
upon their arrival in New York.

From our court reports it would appear that
the effort to cheat the national uncle of his
due is not confined to those who manufacture
whiskey and cigars. 1t has been often limited
that scarcely any return of revenue made TO
the authorities was literally and strictly exact,
and that by far the larger part were inten-
tionally incorrect. We are glad, therefore,
that the attention of the government agents il
now turned to the dealings Of respectable"
houses. By testimony taken in the United
States Commissioners Court it appears that
the senior member of firm regularly in
structed the bookkeeper to cut down the
return. In one case the cut was of ten
thousand, in another Of six thousand dollars.
AS the testimony is given by the bookkeeper
himself there is show of probability in the
answer of the firm that the charge is made for
blackmail; but we must remember that the
information derived from disconnected or dis
missed employees is often the only clue to
similar misdoings, and from such information
as well as from other sources we must estab-
lish the averages of working system.
THE FIRE AT CAPE MAY.-The winding up
of the summer season has been marked by
destructive fire among the hotels at Cape May,
reducing three or four of them to heaps of
ashes. Though only partially insured, it is
doubtful whether the loss of these houses is q
loss to the owners for the tide of fashion
which centres at Philadelphia, Quakers and
all, has been diverted from Cape May to Long
Branch by the superior attractions Of the gay
world from New York. Thus, in regard to
our watering places, as in everything else, the
tickle goddess of fashion, we see, is not to be
trusted. Many years ago Cape May, of all
our seaside places, was the fashion; but its
glory has departed. Still, by q cheaper and
more popular hotel system than that which
fashion has brought into general practice,
Cape May might be restored to its ancient
prosperity.
