keepine of houses of ill-fame has the same

Seduction and Adultery are forbidden and pun

may be that this is not the wise thing to do;
yet we do not see how to improve it. IL
called to mourn the ruin of one dear to us in
den of sexual depravity, we should not like to
know that such den was licensed by any law
to which ~ III ever givehSevc', a passive
assent. D us f' me should aC
least aamonish and forbid where it is incompe-
tent to do more. We would have it able to say
with n clear conscience to the victims OF lust,
"Tbou canst not say / did I'll Never shake
Thy CORY locks at me"
We believe it might and should do very much
more. Were our laws vigorously administered,
gaming houses and dens of i'll fame might ~
nearly driven from our City. This would not
wholly suppress the vices therein sheltered, but
it could not fail to circumscribe and render
them far less prevalent. But gambling and
prostitution are too fruitful Of Democratic
capital and Democratic votes to be thoroughly
warred upon by such men as misrule our City.
BY the way: gaming-houses were formerly
licensed and public in Parisj but they are so
no longer Is The World familiar with the
reasons which dictated the changer

we build a railroad across a Continent ana
thus work our way Westward to the Indies
There they bring seas and oceans together by
ship canal, and thus work their way Eastward
to the Indies. The Pacific Railroad and the
Suez Canal indicate the great currents, new IN
direction but old in their tendency, into when
the trade of the werld is turning
But now comes fresh competitor for the
old prize. Instead of Pacific Railroad S'VVo
miles long we are dazzled with the promise Oh
one only 173 miles long Instead of protect
ing snow-sheds through mountain gorseS,
we hear of a route belted with groves Oh
orange trees. Instead Of dangers from Indians,
we hear of encouragement from the lahueu
proprietOrs. Instead of desert we near Oh
garden instead of vast unsettled wastes' OF
a country settled as long ago as the
time of the Montezumas. With these come
visions of connecting steamship lines, cut-oH
railroad across the peninsula of Florida, and
routes for trade from the lsthmus Oh lehuan-
tepec, east and west and north and south,
cutting oceans into mere tracks for steamship
and continents into lines for railways, to carry
to and from York, San Francisco, Lon
don, and Pekin, the trade of the world.
Undoubtedly the route across the lSthmus OF
Tehuantepec, in the lower part OF Mexico, pos
sesses certain very marked advantages over
any other route for crossing from ocean to
ocean. We shall have, before another decade has
passed, not less we trust than three new Pacific
railways; one to the north of the existing line,
one connecting Texas with the lower coast of
California and skirting the northern border
of Mexico, and third crossing Mexico
near its lower line. OF these the last
is so much the shortest that it can and ought
to be the first to reach completion. 1t will
have its own field of usefulness, and will COM
pete largely and successfully for the enormous
trade toward which its projectors are conf
IDENTIFY looking.

NJ. Chase loup- Laubat, President of the
French Emperor's Council, declares for liberty
of speech, because he believes that perfect in
dependence is consistent with absolute devo-
ton to his master. So is the prisoner with his
turnkey, in some respects, and liberty with the
Bastle; but we grant that liberation on the
EmperOr's part will 90 far to make his Gov
eminent tOlerable. His present advertised in
tentiOns prove wonderful change of mind,
and, in fact, a revolution of Imperial princi-
pies that one year ago would have seemed like
treason to the Throne. The Senate of France
is about to examine SO proposals Of change in
the Constitution, and the Emperor is anxious
that the laws adopted by it shall be even more
broad and liberal than those suggested in his
recent message. The Emperor has thus re-
ceded a second or third step since the elections,
and by so much has France advanced toward
true constitutional government.

The Cuban prisoners have been released. and
thus ends the grand Liberating Expedition
from New-Y York. There are rumOrs of another
effort, but, after the experience Of GARDENERS
Island, it is hardly probable that any consider
able number of men will be speedily induced
to risk q second edition of that conspicuous
failure. Not little mud has been thrown at
the Government for its prompt enforcement of
the neutrality laws; but none know better
than the mud-throwers that the suppression of
this expedition was a Government necessity.
1t has been done, for the most part, kindly
and the hasty boast of London paper that
we also had failed to put down an Alabama
expedition returns to mock the Over-zealOus
bOasteT.

Sing Sing Prison management has become SO
VIGOROUSLY inefficient that we have been i'm
PEELED to look into it with some care. On
another page we print letter giving the latest
and most trustworthy information in the matter.
We understand that The TRIBUNE is heartily
abused by the Prison officials. and its reports
stigmatized in unmeasured terms. Yet, if we
are not strangely misled, we have been much
too chary of condemnation, and have spared
many lash that might have been justlyapplied.
1t must be admitted that the acknowledged
revolts, escapes, and general disorganiza-
ton in and about the prison, are sufficient
proof Of inefhciency in its management. The
Governor should call upon the Prison Inspect
ors for the real truth, and it, as it appears from
current reports, as well as established facts,
there is such laxity of discipline or stretch
ing of authority as is generally believed. a
sharp and efficient remedy should be promptly
applied.

Notwithstanding the note of Baron Beust
that the Yiceroy of Egypt has not asked, nor
the Government of Austria extended to him
more royal recognition than was due, the Porte
is offended at its vassal The Cable states
simply that the Sultan refuses to receive his
Viceroy, by which we understand that he has
snubbed, not the Yiceroy in person, who is not
at Court, but his representatives. The charge
against the Sultan's great subject is that he is
seeking the absolute sovereignty of Egypt, and
spares no ingenuity by which he may arrive at
the recognition of his power and independence
by the sovereigns of Europe. On his part, the
Viceroy claims to be making only business
visit in the interest of his canal enterprise, and
of a consular reform important to the European
Powers.

DEALLNG RLTH VICE

What the State should try to do with those
pervading vices which it cannot hope to eradi-
cate, is very grave problem. "Let them
alone" says one school; Prohibit them,
says another; Regulate them," cries third
The subject is beset with difficulties. .Prohi-
bition does not absolutely prevent; Regulation
does not preclude forbidden Irregularities
Letting the vicious alone does not induce
them to let others alone. The fact that all
who seek to profit by Others vices are in per-
petual conspiracy against purity and innocence
must not be ignored Yet The World reck.

Without abating any of the just exception
which we took to the management and condi
tons of the French Cable enterprise, we heartily
greet the establishment of another link of
amity and progress between the nations
of the world. Yesterday we heard
from Duxbury that the shore end of
the great Cable was splced to its main line.
1t is now in working order, and, quite in the
neighborhood of the spot where the Pilgrims
landed, the continent from which they sailed
viii soon be talking to the one they reached.
We have as yet no definite assurances of such
agreement to yield reciprocal rights on the part
of the French Government as the Admins
tratiOn has demanded, and the new Cable may
still have difficulties to overcome in the inju-
diciOus exactiODs of its friends But to-day we
have room only for congratulations on the
great material triumph attained, and the in
creased telegraphic facilities in prospect.

Conspiracy is the order of the day in Spain
and Cuba. A plot to kill Minister Gorilla fol-
lows one against the lives of Serrano and
Prim. Carlsts aided by churchmen are con-
spring for the throne, and Republicans are
conspiring against it. In Cuba some disap-
pointed partisans of Isabella have engaged in
a military intrigue, probably, and the volun-
teers are, as ever, supposed to be conniving
against their Captain General. The Spanish
situation, in fine, comprehends Mr.. Carlyle's
definition of certain state of affairs. 1t is
anarchy plus the constable, but with danger
of losing the constable.

The reports from Texas are bad, but they

doubt that if the Grand Jury, which now finds
itself rotated out of Office. had brought in
twice as many indictments as are reported, it
would still have come quite within the meas
ure of the actual necessities of the case. Texas
has long deserved the reputation of being in
many respects the worst of the unrecOnstructed
