THE PEABODY MONUMENT FUND-A SCAN
DALous SCENE.-A meeting was to have been
held in the Stock Exchange on Saturday for
the purpose of raising fund Tor monument
10 the late George Peabody; but the gathering
turned out to be most scandalous affair,
almost unworthy of Five Points rowdies. If
the Stock Exchange can pay no higher COM
pliment to the memory of Mr.. Peabody the
members Of that bowling wilderness had better
leave the duty to some other body. 1t is not
likely, however, that the respectable members
of the Board are responsible for the Disgrace
full interruptions which occurred on Saturday.
Indeed, Mr.. Bloodgood, the temporary trea-
surer Of the fund.- has called a meeting at his
Office in William street for tomorrow with a
view to take proper action in the matter.

From Europe-0ur Special Correspondence.

From Earope-Our Special Correspondents.
Our elaboration of the cable kilograms
from Europe, by special written corrospon-
dence, published in our columns to-day,
includes the history Of events in the Old World
to the 9th Of the present month. The exhibit
is of a very varied Importance, spirited and
accurate in detail and unique OF its kind in It's
vivacity and attractiveness of expression
Our writer in Paris anticipates, as it were, the
great electoral struggle which will take place be-
tween Imperialism and the advocates of mode
rate legitimate reform which commenced in that
city yesterday, by describing the relative posi-
ton and candidates of each party, noting at the
same time OPPORTUNITY how per.inaciously the
selfish or fanatic worshippers of socialism and
communism-of even the once dethroned
Goddess of Reason-hoyer on the tanks of
either party, watching for an opportune
moment at which to enter wedge calculated
for the ultimate severance of the bond which
unites the Industrial masses just now to
the centres of authority, law and order. From
Constantinople comes a report of royal visits
from North Germany, Italy and Austria to the
Sultan, with description of the fine fstcs with
which his Majesty received his new guests the
Emperor Francis Joseph enjoying an ovation
very little inferior in its magnihcence and
popular demonsVatiogs q respect to that
which had just been accorded to the Empress
of the French on her first landing. Oar letters
from Rome and London speak Of the Ecumen-
ical Council, the writer in the British metrop-
oils enumerating and illustrating the number
and work Of the former hierarchical sssemblages
Ct the C lh,.ss q Rome in very instructive
manner. His Holiness the Pope received solid
tokens Of homage and respect from California
and Canada-a California silver nugget which
was presented to him requiring the united
exertions of eight soldiers of the Papal
Guards to carry it to the feet Of the Pontif.
Scotland was engaged in attending to the i'm
portant matter of national public education,
while the streets of London had a sensation in
the social resurrection of the man Hare, the
alleged accomplish of Burke, the murderer,
who was hanged in Edinburg in January,
1929, just forty years since, Mr.. Hare coming
forth in the garb of Regent street beggar-
man. 1t is the world Of to-day; its politics,
governments, devotion, enjoyments and retri-
buttons photographed before the American
people in the pages of the HERALD

COMMODORE VANDERBILT AMONG rnE LAW
YERs.-The lawyers have found a tough Gus
toner in Commodore Vanderbilt. In the re-
markable case Of the Erie Railway Company
vs. Cornelius Vanderbilt before Judge Ingra-
ham, in the Supreme Court, the great railway
king was very closely questioned and cross
questioned, but the lawyers knew just about as
much after all this as they did before. The
Commodore knew very little about the case or
the transactions connected with it, and what
little he did know was so qualified as to make
the evidence of no value. The lawyers can no
more trip him up than the Wall street specula-
tors, and we advise them not to spend their
precious time in vain

IT rs FINISHED AND LIvEs.-The Suez Canal
is complete success. FQr.yy-fye steam YES
sells have run through it to Suez in excellent
time and really good order. The depth of
water is sufficient, but the route will, it is said
be deepened. The Empress Of France will
lead the return feet on its voyage downward
in the yacht L'Aigle. Waghorn and Lesseps
are to have statues at Suez. This is meet and
proper the great English traveller who had
faith in his journey through India, side by side
with the great French worker who combined
faith, hope and charity in belief and deeds
and work. The world is more one and larger
to-day.

1t is evident from our correspondence from
Cuba that the revolutionary patriots are more
determined and are exhibiting more vigor than
the rest Of the world gives them credit for.
They are burning the sugar plantations, and
even their own property in order to weaken
their enemies by cutting of the resources the
Spaniards have been relying upon. This is
touching the Spaniards in tender place, for
they have been calculating upon seizing the
sugar crops and other productions for the
means to carry on the war. In other words,
they intended to slaughter the Cubans and to
subjugate themif possible by using the wealth
of these very Cubans for that purpose. Spain
is too poor to carry on long such an exhaus-
tive war as that in Cuba, unless she can draw
resources from the island ITSELF The Cubans
have wisely determined not to supply the
means for the Spaniards to cut their threats
with. This may seem a terrible alternative
and fearful destruction of valuable property,
but it is the natural result of war, and to the
Cubans may be the price Of liberty. 1t may
prove mercful measure in the end, just as
the terrible, destructive raid of Sherman's
army through the Southern States led to the
immediate closing of our civil war. The revo-
lutionary government of Cuba, under Cespe-
des, is showing extraordinary vigor and deter
mination.
We hear from Washington, too, that the
administration is likely soon to take decisive
course with regard to Cuba. The remarkable
naval movements in and to the West
Indies, as well as other movements Of
the government, indicate this. But it is
said the object is kept secret, and
therefore it is not known on which side
the government is going to act There cer-
tainly is no necessity for naval force to sup
port Spain, nor for any action of the govern
ment whatever for that purpose, even should
the government be so cruel and so far forget
its duty to the cause Of republican liberty and
to the sentiment of the American people.
Spain has been sustained too much and too
long, in an indirect way, in it's brutal war upon
the Cubans. Any change that may be con-
templated, therefore, must be in favor of
Cuban independence. Nor have we any doubt
that the President and Congress will soon
act in accordance with public sentiment in
this country, and throw the weight of the gov
eminent on the side of republican liberty and
the independence of Cuba.

The Theatres.

The present week closes Miss Bateman's
brilliant career of triumph at Booths theatre
a triumph for the best interests of art as well
as for those of the gifted lady who has for the
past nine weeks amply satisfied the most
critical and the very largest audiences ever
assembled in this city. The effect of such
performances cannot be er-estimated. 1t is
not too much to say that the true dignity of
woman's nature has never been developed
more strongly than by Mary Warner, the
mechanics wife, and that the tears shed so
profusely by auditors of all classes over her
wrongs and sorrows may serve to wash away
the stains of frivolity from fair cheeks that had
which have too long degraded our stage.
Such acting as Miss Bateman's and such plays
as ''Mary Warner go far to make the drama a
recognized moral power in the State.
At Wallack's and at Days fine old comedies
and some of the best modern plays are repre-
sented with unusual attention to costume and
scenic effects and by excellent companies. At
the French theatre the drama of s'London"
has made hit with its panorama Of
the streets of the great metropolis and
its splendid scenes of London Bridge, Charing
Cross and the London Docks. At Niblo's the
vivacious Lolita will sparkle this week in the
Sire Fly" Tammany, with the Hanlon
Brothers the New York Circus, with its Arabs
and its regular troupe; Tony Pastors, with
Nelse Seymour and Signor Bliss; the Bowery,
with Edwin Blanchard and his great dogs; the
Theatre Comique, with its spectral ballet; the
Olympic, with its domestic dramas and
screaming farces; and Woods Museum, with
Yankee Robinson and the Howsons and its
menagerie, certainly offer an abundant variety
Of winter evening entertainments. The sue
cess of the English Opera troupe at the Grand
Opera House has been decided, and the Phil
harmonic Society will give it's first grand con-
cert next Saturday evening. The theatrical
and the musical world in New York, seems
therefore, to be satisfied, even in the absence
of any startling novelties. But the managers
are well aware that our theatre-goers are
never long contented without, at least, an
expectation Of something greater and more
startling than they have already seen and
applauded. Like the Athenians of old they
ore eager for something new" What will be
| the next sensation? "Thats the question"

City P0litics-The Coming Charter Gle cfion

City POlitics-The Coming Charter Gle ction.
In another column will be found, under the
head of ''City Politics." review Of the prin-
cipal field Of strife in the coming charter
election. The Offices of Civil aud Police JUS
tees are very important, and the questions
coming up in judicial connection Herewith,
whether criminally or cvilly, often involve
very serious consequences to the citizens. 1t
is, therefore, gratifying to know that in the
host of candidates there are prominently pres
ent men who are in every respect fitted for the
positions they seek The field is almost entirely
open to democratic candidates, but there is
enough of them to pick and choose from.
Tammany may not nominate the best men, but
then the fault will be its own, and it must be
held responsible for any mistakes it may make
in this matter. The leaders cannot hereafter
claim immunity under the plea of political
necessity" The game is in their own hands
the selection of the best men rests with them
and it is duty they owe to the people that
they shall select none but the best. Assured
of this, the people will go to the polls on the
It'll of December next and vote for the Tammany
nominees-in the absence of other candidates.
No matter. Such is political life at the present
time in our city.

Suez, will not contain itself longer, and the
dreaded ultimatum must be again submitted,
and this time with threat Of suspension from
the viceroyalty.
Were several interested powers of Europe in
less critical condition as regards the preserv-
alton of peace; were France at liberty to fol-
low her inclinations and sympathies, and were
it not essential for the time being that tran
quillity should prevail until Napoleon shall have
have passed through the ordeal of reform which
his government is now undergoing, it would
be no difficult matter to foresee the issue OF
these exactons on the part of Turkey, and to
predicate an opinion, amounting almost to a
certainty that they would be met with an in
dignant ref sal from Egypt. Unfortunately
for the Khedive, neither France nor Eng
land is prepared for a rupture on this
question: and while their mediation might
moderate the demands Of the Sultan, it is not
probable that they will energetically protest
against the humiliation of the vassal. Without
the hearty support of powerful ally 1t would
be reckless in the Viceroy to defy his master,
and, as the part OF prudence and wisdom, we
shall expect his submission. In this, however,
we see no promise of a permanent reconciiia-
ton. Such humiiations, if endured for the
present, will enbI!ter his spirit stimulate him
to renewed exer.ions towards securing the ald
of European potentates and prompt him to
strike for Independent royalty whenever
favorable opportunity shall be presented.
The Sultan is promoting the germs Of future
complications, which are to end in struggle
for the mastery Of the Suez Canal, and which
in their Importance must enlist several OF the
great Powers of Europe. Ismaii Pacha, con-
scious Of the future of Egypt and of his own
coming importance in the destiny Of that coun-
try, may well afford to bile his time, make
concessions and submissions to his jealous
master, and do everything to prevent rupture
at this time. Patience and prudence will
yield an abundant harvest Of good at no distant
day; and the time will come, if we may be
allowed to indulge in the most reasonable
speculation, when the jurisdiction of the Sub
lime Porte shall cease to enthrall this 'land Of
promise, and no Oriental master shall ques-
ton the right of Egypts sovereign to use the
public treasure whenever he may see fit
for the advancement of national enterprises
The designs of the Sultan, actuated by a
natural desire to continue control over tribu-
tary Power which promises to become a source
of immense revenue to his government, will be
tolerated only just so far as the present neces-
sites of the European situation require. The
sovereignty and independence OF Egypt will be
accomplished whenever the free operation of
the canal and the interest Of neighboring Pow
ers shall make it expedient to guarantee for
the enterprise that security and liberal direc-
ton which it will hardly experience while
under the control, directly or indirectly, Of the
Ottoman empire.

OUR CoAsTING VESSELS. one who has
observed orr coasting vessels on the Sound
can have failed to notice how many of them
are dangerously overladen. The wreck of the
schooner Margaret Kennedy during the late
storm is an evidence of this kind of greed, ex
empfed in the endeavor to make small yes
sells do the duty of large ones. This schooner
carried load Of a hundred and twenty eight
tons Of coal, and was literally laden to the
waters edge Thus an ordinary accident--to
say nothing Of q hurricane-might at any
moment have swamped her. 1t was probably
for this reason that ths captain and pilot aban-
doned the vessel, leaving der to the Care o. the
mate and his heroic wife, who CALAMITY held
on to her until she went down, aud then saved
themselves only with the utmost difficulty. II
these vessels are insured-and we presume
they are-the Board of Underwriters should
see to it that they are not so much overladen
as to place them in imminent peril. The
wonder is that half of them, carrying brick,
coal and lumber, ever reach their destination
at all for the decks of most Of them are rarely
more than few inches above the water level.
