BEGINNING AGAIN.

Napoleon begins another chapter of empire
with mistake-an inevitable one, how
ever, the premises Of empire being granted
He denies that it is proper to the imperial
self-respect to concihate his opponents, and
straightway he imprisons the editor of the
radical RappeI. The next move in order should
be the arrest and second expulsion of Count
Henri de RochefOrt, the radical editor of La
Lanterne, and said to be descendant of Hugh
Capet-nOt the only son of the old nOblesse
who takes side against monarchy. Moreover,
the Emperor may so conniye through his sala-
red agents that the frauds of the late cleo
tions, albeit the radicals in the Legislature may
venture to contest them, shall arbitrarily accrue
to the empire. All disputed elections he will
still have the chance of managing his own way.
To the profound disgust of the Liberals
of France, he is willfully bent upon arrOgating
rather than cOnceding, and, so far as we can
make out from the Cables dispatch, has taken
the course which will emphasize the meaning
of the late Radical vote, and not win single
convert to the throne. Taking it at its word
the Empire at present only means Offense. The
Emperor will wait, it appears, to feel the
pulse of France through its Legislative Corps,
after having endeavored to make it temperately
keep time with his own. What he has just
done seems to repel the liberal advice both OF
Prince Napoleon and Persigny, but hope re-
mains that his arrogance is but q prologue to
concession Of some kind.
On the other hand, the Empire will not en-
counter mutes or imbeciles in the spirits which
it has evoked from the depths of French Op-
position 1t has been q problem with Napo-
leon to find out the temper and desire OF the
uncertain and suspicious millions below him.
The facts are now before him, yet do not de-
ter him from well-bred affectation of apathy
to that some time smothered passion for free
dom, which, however devastating and almost
self-destroying when hitherto fully abaze,
is yet an inextinguishable fire in the
heart of France. Her patriots, how
ever, are not disposed to be forever passive
least of all are they inclined to yield to any
attack on the citadel Of universal suffrage.
Many of them may be as much opposed as
Jules Favre to violence as q means OF reform
and progress, but perhaps the mass OF them
would agree with him in doctrine that " II
"rights are to be attacked by violence, vio-
"lence should be encountered" Upon the
right Of universal suffrage, practiced in one
way or other, since 1S4S, the Liberalism of
France will take its well fortified stand. 1t
will not be possible for the Emperor to invade
that right with safety. He can only yield to
it with grace.

According to the Ministerial statement just
made. England is willing that diplomatic in
tercourse shall be reopened between her and
Mexico, but stipulates that the overtures shall
be made by the Government of the Republic.
England was one of the powers which recognized
the Empire, though officers of that Empire
publicly stole the debt interest due it. This
interest was the same which the Republic mani
tested great pains to pay, spite of the British
allegation that its failure to pay the debt was
the cause of the recognition of the Empire
Now, the Empire being dead, it must be
confessed that the Republic was the better bar
gain. England has but to confess her self-de-
ception to discover the falsity of her position
The Mexicans were surely right in declaring
their treaties with England broken by the
fault of the latter.

The Union Pacific and Central Pacific Rail-
roads having adjusted their differences, through
tickets are now sold from this City to San
Francisco for $17S 35 currency. Time, eight
days. This is quick enough and cheap enough
for frst-class; but we hope soon to hear that
a secOnd-class but comfortable train is running
through from Omaha to any station on the
route in Nevada or California for 500 currency.
This road ought to do at least the passenger busi
ness between the two slopes this year, and
a good share of the freight also nert year.
We ask no unreasonable haste; but the Ameri-
can People have treated these roads gener-
Ously, and are entitled to like treatment in re-
turn. A poor MINER farmer, or labOrer, do MT
want to pay $50 extra for dOwny cushions and
silk curtains he wants to 90 as cheaply as he
comfortably can, and ought to have the oppor-
tunity. There are more people wanting to go
over this road, or part of it, than the mana
gers have any idea of.

Editor Smith, but is physically refuted
by the aforesaid editor, who proves
that Nesmith cannot manage unbult street
taiIways, by graphing with him gallantly and
giving him drubbing. Q. E. ID. 1t is now
evident that Nesmith can no more manage
street railways than he can manage horse
whip. 1t isn't the last word now which dis
putants desire, and which proves them to be
right, but the Last vibration of the irresistible
cowhide! Why editors should chiefly be subject
ed to this kind of weighty refutation, we have
never been able to comprehend. clergyman
blows up his parishoners, and not one lamb OF
the flock comes at him with cane. Lawyers
say the savagest things about plaintiff or de-
fendant but the aggrieved party knows too
much to break the lawyers head. 1t is quite
compliment to the press, that when man
has been exposed in the newspapers, he
straightway goes so often to buy cane
There is nothing else for him to do, and it
seems to happen pretty often that the doing
of that does MT count much in his favor.

Our baseball players suffered another defeat
yesterday, the Cincinnati Red Stockings easily
beating the well-known Eckford Club OF
Brooklyn, formerly the champions in this re-
gion. The victory of the previous day damp
ened the courage of the Eastern boys and
very little excitement could be raised. In so
far as excitement means gambling, we rejoice
at its absence The national game is sadly
disgraced by the active betting INDUCED in by
players and their friends, as well as by the
horde of outsiders who attend for the sole pur-
pose of gambling. Perhaps it is impossible to
stop this disgrace entirely; but certainly ball
players themselves can and should refrain
from it. Batting should never lead to betting.

We do Mt want to be impertinent: hut -.

Secretary Boutwell,, we rejoice to learn, has
recognized his obligation TO obey and execute
the Sinking Fund provision of the Legal Ten
der act, by purchasing and holding lone per
"cent. per annum of the entire Public Debt Of
"the United States" To this end, he directs
the purchase, before the close of this month,
of 100000 of U. S. bonds for the Sinking
Fund, in addition to his regular purchase of
S1,OOOOOO per week.-Mrs. amount being re-
quired to make up the zone per cent. per
"annum" for the first quarter of Gen. Grants
Administration. SO far, excellent! But we
beg leave once more to remind Mr. Boutwell,
that the law is not fulfilled till further pur-
chases are made TO the extent of zone per
"cent. per annum Of the entire Debt' for the
past as well as the present-for Mr.. McCul-
lOch's term as well as Mr.. BOutwell's. The
law is explicit; the coin is in the Treasury /;
it was exacted expressly that the Sinking

entreat that said coin be employed in obedi-

The Hanson Cab Company has organized,
obtained very considerable subscriptions from
some of our best citizens, sent an agent to
Europe to buy its first two hundred cabs expect
ing to build eighteen hundred more on this
side, and now asks the public to take stock
promptly and freely, so as to put the enter
prise on its feet at an early day. This is en-
phatically an undertaking for public good, and
every citizen who is blest in pocket and store
should lend it helping hand. 1t is no charity,
for it will pay good dividends; but it will
cause New-YOrk to be loved by thousands who
now hate it for its Hack extortions and shun
it to avoid robbery aggravated by insult. 1t
will add to the patronage of Our hotels and
our stores to have our City supplied with cheap
and cOmmOdious Cabs
If any doubts the pecuniary success of the
enterprise, we beg him to visit the Central
Park, and see how the new cheap conveyances
are pleasing the public and coming money for
their owners They run full for hours each
day, and thrice as many would patrOnize them
i they had room. They are great and in-
slant success; and so the Cabs will be when
we get them. Men of substance and public
spirit! help to hurry up the Cabs, and thus
earn at least twenty per cent dividends on yOur

An important case affecting the rights OF
railway passengers has been decided by the
Supreme Court on appeal Three years ago
William Walker was killed on the Long Island
Road. He was travelling with his wife and
children, and, being unable to find seats. he
rode upon the platform. The Company plead
that there were seats in the rear car but the
Court first trying the case charged that the
victim had made reasonable effort to find seats,
and, not finding them, rode on the platform at
the Company's risk, Notwithstanding the ste
reotyped caution put up by the Company
against doing so. A verdict was given against
the Company, and this verdict was fully sus
tained by the General Term. The result is
double qualification, in that it establishes
common sense principle, and does it at the cost
of railroad the public have no occasion to
love

A portion of the citizens of Dorchester (Nass.).
that ancient town, are reluctant to be swal
lowed up by Boston, and are holding meetings
to protest against being transmogrifed into
Sixteenth Ward" We ont wonder at this.
Here is an independent municipality, in which
town meetings have been held for two cen.
turies, and for the political wants of which the
town meetings, the simplest of political
methods, have sufficed. Now they are to he

The usual storm beats about the Departments
at Washington which have sought to obey the
laws and keep themselves within their appro-
priations by reducing the number of their en-
ploy6s. 1t is proved, as it always has been
proved in such cases, and as it al
ways will be proved to the end of time,
that the men retained are tho wrong men.
We are not in all cases disposed to dispute
this; and yet, from the noise they make
about it, we are generally inclined also to
suspect that the men dismissed are the
right men. In these glorious Summer days
when the whole country is calling for labor,
why should any sane man hang about the De-
partments, petitioning unwilling officers to
suffer him to remain rs a Government drudgef

A great many men whose shortcomings and
long goings bring them under that animadver-
sion of the newspapers, which is perfectly just
when the private sin has public relation,
seem to labor under the hallucnation that lthe
best way and the readiest to refute a charge
is simply to corporally chastise the editor who
makes it. Thus, in Cincinnati, Mr.. Nesmith
has something to do with the street rail-
ways Of the future. Mr.. Smith, editor of
The Gazette, says that Mr. Nesmith does
not do that something so as to bring them
very near to the present. Upon this, Mr.. Ne

Suffering among women, said Mrs. Kirk last

Suffering among women, said Mrs. Kirk, last
night, amid the Kisses of her ambitious sisters,
is more important subject of discussion
than Suffrage. Let us hope, then, that
Suffrage will not come to bring any
addition to the sum of her sufferings.
At Troy, as Miss Anthony proudly boasted,
the laundrywOmen, in Congress assembled,
have suffered the Trojans to wear dirty shirts
till such time as they brought them to terms.
Now, let there be industrial raids upon
every department of mans comfort wherein a
woman has rights as labOrer which the
inferior sex is bound to respect. There will
then indeed be one question more important
