There Ii most unwonted autter In the
political dovecote at the present time. Tho
heat of the weather, which compels ordinary
mortais to seek rest and quiet, seems to have
quite contrary effect upon the irrepressible
rank and file Of political parties. The unusual
number of Offices to be filed at the coming
State and charter elections has stirred up the
whole brood of political cormorants that have
hitherto fattened at the public cribs and called
into ephemersl life whole hosts Of hungry
candidates after Office. The chiefs, on the
other hand, are taking things very easy. st.
one long holiday, and therefore Peter Bis
marck Sweeny, the high priest of the
temple; Grand Sachem Tweed, with all the
other saohems, wiskinskis, scribes and saga
mores, have each and every Of them aban-
doned the City Hall, wigwam, kitchen, clubs
and all, and are off and away enjoy
Ing themselves to the top Of their
bent, wherever fancy draws them.
In this they have only followed the example
Of the shining lights Of the Church, who have
also in considerable numbers abandoned their
constituencies and left them q prey to any
scbisms that may be sprung among them.
That there are schisms in the political camp.
threatening to spread and become dangerous
to the Tammany hierarchy, will be seen from
the article under the head of 'City Politics"
which will be found in another place. 1t is
said that the leaders at present in charge OF
the political elements are alarmed at the signs
of the coming tempest, and have sent press
ing request to Peter B. to shorten his stay
abroad and to return as soon as possible. It
is conceded that Peter alone can readjust the
disarranged condition of the political machine
and restore it to perfect running order. So
runs the rumor.

THE MARRIAGE OF FOREIGNERS The
Legislature of Bavaria is still moving in the
path of reform, based on religious freedom.
Its members are engaged in debating the i'm
portant subject Of the home citizen status in
the future of Bavarians who have been or may
be married in the United States The mea-
sure, which is based on negotiations conducted
by the Bavarian Consul in Chicago, proposes
to recognize all the legal consequences of such
marriages, even if contracted without the con-
sent OF the government In Munich. Should
the wife Of the Bavarian be an alien she Ia not

lady citizens to be in their wards ''sharp to

PROGRESSIVE SPIRITUAL PIoNICs.-The an
nual picnic Of the Spiritualists on Friday at
Elm Park was but slightly attended by the
spirits, who might have been expected to tip
tables, render Sybilline responses to various
conundrums, and otherwise delight believers
and astonish the incredulous. We can account
for this disappointment only upon the theory
that spirits don't like lager beer, black bread
and Swiss cheese that they dread the woful
effects Of indulgence in lobster salad, and that
they are no longer fond Of tripping tho light
fantastic toe. The solid food and copious
beverages and Macy dances of the day failed
to attract the expected spooks, who, indeed,
from time immemorial, are supposed to affect
the witching hour Of midnight rather than the
garish light Of noon. It appears, however,
that IN the provoking absence Of the spirits,
large number Of healthy bodies, male and
female, assembled at Elm Park on this festive
occasion, and, We are glad to learn, hugely
enjoyed themselves from nine o'clock in the
morning until ten o'clock In the evening. So
there was ample compensation for the failure
Of even the most deliberately formed ''circles"
to evoke spirits from the vastly deep.

THE FIRST PALACE CAR FROM OCEAN TO
OoEAN.-The arrival In this city yesterday of
the first Pullman palace car which has
traversed the Continent from ocean to ocean is
most interesting event In the history of the
Pacific Railroad. It was an hour behind
time, on account Of unexpected delays on the
New York Central road, when it passed
Poughkeepsie, direct from Sacramento, at
half-past five o'clock A. NJ. Two passengers
Gone of them bearer Of dispatches from the
Queen of Tahita to the Emperor of the French)
sailed soon afterwards In the French steamer
St. Laurent for Havre and Paris, and are now
well sped on the ocean towards their destina-
ton. They will thus make nearly one-third
of the circumference of the globe within fort
night, including their trip Of seven days from
San Francisco. Now that such wonderful
approximation to the humiliation of time and
space Is possible, and while we are tasting
fruit which left California week ago, It is no
longer difficult to understand Puck's famous
boast-'Tll put girdle round about the earth
In forty minutes" The full time of detention
of the car on the road was sixteen hours.

Feuian Funds md Fenian BOndhOIders.

Judge McCunn has issued another injunc-
ton in reference to the Fenian war fund.- Our
readers may perhaps recollect that very re-
Gently the sum Of $l6, 739 20 in gold, belong
ing to that fund and deposited in 1865 with
August Belmont q Co., was by order of
Judge McCunn, paid over to Thomas H. Barr,
the appointed receiver, the plaintiff in the case
being John O'MahOney, lais Fenian Head Gen.
ire, by whom the money had been originally
deposited. The second injunction we refer to
was issued at the suit Of William II. Bailey,
who claimed payment for certain Fenian bonds
held by him and issued by John OMahoney in
the name of the Irish republic--a republic
which had no existence and which he could
have had no reasonable hope of establishing.
Judge McCunn has decreed in favor of this
plaintiff, and until the bonds claimed for have
been paid has restrained the receiver from
paying over the whole or any part of the sum
to John O'Mahoney.
Here there is ray Of hope for the
Fenian bondholder. The flesh and blood
representatives of the mythical IRISH republic
have not swallowed up everything. There
is still something left perhaps there may
be more in other quarters. The Fenian
bondholders will no doubt have an eye to
their own interests, yet we would suggest in
connection with this that the Irish chamber
maids throughout our city be notified of the
decision, for Biddy is supposed to have
invested largely in this immaculate Fenian
stock This case shows how friends will turn
up in unexpected quarters. When the British
government seized upon the Exchequer bills, in
1865, it was in reality preserving the money
for the future use of the duped bondholders,
who we hope will have learned by this time
to make better use Of it.

Charles Sumner first made himself widely
known by his Boston Fourth of July grafton
about twonty-three years ago. With what some
called great moral courage, but others deemed
very bad taste, he chose an occasion when all
the military glories Of the Tri-Mountain city,
from the Ancient and Honorable Artillery and
the Boston Light Infantry to the most juvenile
companies with their tin or wooden swords,
were out in full martial array, to inveigh
against the wickedness and the horrors of war,
to sheer at the tiger painted on the knapsacks
of the Light Infantrymen, and to exclaim like
an apostle Of peace, ''No more battle pieces"
But all this happened long ago, before the first
gun at Sumter changed Summers voice for war,
and the Alabama claims converted him into an
American eagle screaming defiance to the
British lion.
Four years of terrible civil war supplied our
artists with plentiful and thrilling subjects for
''more battle pieces" And although the re-
cent exhibitions of the American Academy of
Design have shown but little disposition on
the part Of American artists to reap the har-
vest of fame which is offered by this new and
tempting Geld to commemorate the incidents
and events of the war, and to delineate the
picturesque scenery amid which some of it's
grandest actions occurred, there Is at length
prospect that the war will yet be fitly illus
trated. We have already taken occasion to
praise the fidelity and power with which the
popular groups by Rogers, the sculptor, re-
call many of the associations of that eventful
period. LOSING and Frankenstein and other
pictorial annalists have diligently gathered
on the sites of the principal battles of the war
the materials for future historical paintings
such materials as form the wealth of Brady's
Gallery of the Great Rebellion and strongly
recommend it to Congress for national pur-
chase. And during the Fourth Of July week,
which brought together in New York so
many active participants in the war, several
pictgres illustrating it were OPPORTUNITY
exhibited here. Conspicuous among these
are 'Sheridan's Ride" and ''Farragut," by
Ehninger, both of which have been admirably
photographed by Kurtz and published by Pill
kinton jackson; the "Battle of Gettysburg"
by Walker, exhibited at the Grand Opera
House, and the "Battle of Fair Oaks" by
Fairman, formerly colonel of the Ninety-sixth
regiment of New York Volunteers. Our
artists will not lack public encouragement If
they persevere in cultivating the fertile field
opened by the war to American art. There is
q growing demand for ''more battle pictures"
