Tho Exhl0at Of Ono Wo0ks
The European mail report published In our
columns this morning embraces very interest,"
ing details Of our news kilograms by the
Atlantic cables to the 10th of November.
The new and subtle and universal agency Of
electricity is, consequently, only about eight
days and half ahead Of its powerful pre-
cursor, steam, in the. service of the great
newspaper press of New York. CHANGING back
at the result of our enterprise in furnishing
special written reports of the cable news
during the week, we may claim that
the exhibit of this morning supplies o
pleasing close to the work Of the seven
days just past. We present Europe, Asia
and Africa; the progress Of the radical
revolutionary agitation in France and Ireland,
the preparations for the Peabody funeral
reception on board the British war ship
Monarch, the royal and legislative situation in
Italy, and the rejoicings, work and marine
movements which weio observed on the banks
of the Suez Canal and on the new transit
route from either terminus of its entry and
discharge.
From France Especial writer has spoken OF
the composer Offenbach and described the
great maestro in his home, while others have
pictured the state of political parties in Paris
and painted Napoleon's attitude towards the diff
ferent organizations. From London we had
continuation of our special historical review Of
the eighteen general councils Of the Church
of Rome which have preceded the coming
Council of the Vatican" with very ample
notes as to the mode Of conduct and probable
result and consequences Of the forthcoming
hierarchcal assemblage. Madrid told of Prim
and Topete, politics and military rule, royalty
aud republicanism. Germany spoke Of earth
quakes, Prussian finance, emigration and the
army. Rome was made glad by, the receipt OF
huge nugget of silver ore from California, just
as Constantinople was delighted by royal visits
from Austria and Italy. A variety of other
foreign matter was presented also to our
readers. 1t arrived from the Spanish Antilles,
the South Pacific. Central America,
Canada, Alaska and the northwest
ern region Of British Columbia. These
advices were of rather melancholy charac-
ter, telling, as they did, of civil war, social
decentralization, Indian ravages and death but
affording at the same time faithful warning to
the rising generation of American statesmen
as to the difficulties Of the task which awaits
them when the moment arrives at which they
will be forced to throw the protecting fold Of
the flag of the Union over these ancient States
and commence to educate their peoples as to
the true duties of freemen, directed and con-
trolled by the great civilizing agencies of the
hour-steam, electricity and the printing
press.

Early yesterday afternoon General Herman died
suddenly at his residence In this city, from conges
ton OF the lungs. He vas born In this otJ soma

engaged In the practice OF his profession and in edit
ing the Aedical Press, at the same time
holding the position Of Surgeon to thu
Sixty-ninth regiment OF National Guards OF this
State. He entered into active service as surgeon
on the star OF General Fremont holding the rank Of

A BAD IsM-Free Loveism. Disguise 1t as
you may, it is bad, very bad. 1t is an out
cropping Of Fourierism and from the affinities
of Spiritualism. Disregarding the established
metes and bounds of society, it is apt to culmi-
nate in gunpowder. Prudent men will avoid
it and all its affiliations. There is no safety
outside the established order of society, as
there is none in disregarding the laws Of the
land

likely to revive the interest which it's mysteri-
GUS circumstances occasioned II is rumored
that the suspected assassin, who escaped at
the time, has lately returned from sea voyage,
and that the detectives are on his trail. Thus
far, however, their efforts to overhaul hina

The developments already made in the vari-
GUS suits and counter suits, injunctions and
counter injunctions, complaints, explanations,
statistics and statements in the Erie Railway
difficulties and complications are positively
astounding, confounding, inexplicable and
incredible. The conflict has become medley
and q muddle, evidently beyond the powers Of
courts and lawyers to settle. We are amazed
at the enormous amounts of money alleged by
one set of men as having been seized and
squandered by another set. Two things,
however, have been made perfectly clear in
this business. First, that under our railway
regulations, as they stand, railway stocks may
be watered millions upon millions till the stock
is down to ten cents on the dollar; secondly,
that neither in State Legislatures nor State
courts is there any hope Of a remedy.
These things being made apparent to the
naked eye the question recurs, where for the
remedy are we to look? The only relief to
the honest stockholders in railroads and to the
community lies in Congress and in the consti-
tutional power conferred upon Congress to
regulate commerce with foreign nations and
between the several States. This power, in
connection with the power to establish post
Offices and post roads and the power of taxa
ton, gives to Congress full authority to estab-
lish general system of regulations for all the
telegraphs and railroads of the country and
such general regulations cannot much longer
be evaded. We hope that the President will
have q word or two to say upon this subject
in his forthcoming annual message. In any
event it is to be hoped that 1t will not be over
looked by Congress.

PETER B. SwEENY AGAIN ON THE FIF-
TENTH AMENDMENT.-W publish this morn
ing trenchant exposition from Mr.. Sweeny of
his objections to the fifteenth amendment. He
does not object particularly to the universal
negro suffrage provided for; but in the pro-
vision that Congress shall have the power to
enforce this article by appropriate Legislation"
he sees the subversion Of the constitution in
regard to the right of the States respectively
to control the machinery Of their elections.
He thinks that under this fifteenth amend
ment, if adopted, the radicals in Congress will,
by appropriate legislation" provide the
inspectors, clerks, &C., of the elections in
every State. This is startling view Of the
subject, and fully justiies the hostility Of Tam
many Hall to the amendment in view of this
terrible radical innovation in the management
Of our elections. Read the letter Of Mr..
Sweeny.

Republican City and State Legislation.
In another place in the HERALD will be
found review Of republican legislation since
the accession Of the party to power in this
State In 1856. The retrospect, so far as the
first invasion upon municipal government is
concerned, goes little farther back than
republican ascendancy, from the fact that the
wings of few years previous existence paved
the way for much Of the misgovernment for
which the republicans are to-day so justly
condemned. The article In question will be
found specially interesting in 80 Immediately
following upon ssPeter Bismarck Sweenys
political horoscope" published in the HERALD
of Friday last. In one article our readers have
presented to them a brief review of all the re-
publican enactments affecting the municipal
government and the chartered rights of the citi-
zens during the past ten or twelve years. In
the other they have an exposition Of the policy
to be pursued by the dominant (democratic)
party, on the authority of the able leader and
chief Of the Tammany Regency. The latter
article embraces questions of policy beyond
what can be properly considered as belonging
to State legislation, but at the same time 1t is
exhaustive on this particular subject, and
therein lies Its value and Importance as poll
teal state document. But whether as pro-
gramme of the policy to be pursued by the
Regency in the coming session of the State
Legislature on questions strictly local, or of
the course to be followed in bringing the
democracy of the Empire State into line for the
Presidential contest in 1872, Mr.. Sweeny's pro-
nunciamento is certainly one of the most re-
markable party revelations Of the day, and will
command corresponding attention and study

pea.h OF Gov. Howl q. svift.

On Thursday afternoon last, the
parents and relatives of Gov. Henry
A. Swift, at this place, received by tell
egraph the melancholy intelligence of
his death, which occurred at SIS resi-
dence in st. Peter, Minnesota, on tile
morning of that day, from typhoid
fever, after an illness of five weeks.
Governor Swift was about forty-six
years of age at the timeI of his death.
He was native of Rayenna, and re-
sided here most of his life until the
summer of 1855, when he removed
with his family TO Minnesota and be-
came identified with the interests of
that young and growing State. He
was gentleman of liberal education,
of cultivated and polished inhnIiefs,
and of kind and generous heart, and
both in the home of his youth and the
State of his adoption; he enjoyed the
respect and confidence of thelpeople.
He leaves wife and two daughters to
mourn their loss. .sa 20 hiIs4 4HlIIuT
On Friday morning after the receipt
of the sad news, the aged parents of
the deceased, Dr. Isaac Swift and wife,
accompanied by their s0n-in-law, Mr..
E. III. Wait, left for ST. Peter, to attend
the funeral which was to take place
upon their arrival. .,a, ~ f.af.-r-s{. /,

lists were accused oof treason against
The United States just as much assthe
ate rebels. The crime and its pun
ishments, as provided by law, were
the same in one case asiinlthe others-
So if A. j. violated the Constitution
in his issue of iastl Christmas, Wash

pie. However, this, is not the firstin-
