PUBLIC OPINION, when applied in strong
pressure in behalf Of popular rights and fair
play, Is still power in the land II has, for
instance, resulted in an overhauling Of the
fraudulent tampering with the votes OF the
people Of Kings county for Sheriff, which
promises recognition of The peoples choice.
This is great victory for law and order,
which revives the idea that honest elections
may still be hoped for, and that perjuries and
forgeries may be stopped. To make this
Brooklyn example effective, however, District
Attorney Morris should relax no efforts to
bring the offending ballot suffers and foygers
to tho penalties OF the law.

A9aiie..ranean will be greater attraction than
ever TO Northern Powers. But tho prize ID SO
great that those who have it will keep it. II
individual strength is not enough the nations
will combine, and Great Britain, France, Spain,
Portugal, Greece, Turkey, with all the strength
of Hndoslan, Persia and of Arabia at their
back, viii form a confederacy which will
monopolize the blessings of the Mediterranean,
which will give Austria and Prussia their
proper places and which will make it a neces-
sity for Russia to remain north Of the Cau-
casus AMI The Himalayas and accomplish her
destiny in the development Of the Northern
races.
or all the men now living who watch The
progress OF events and seek to catch fortune
by the forelock there are few, it any, more
sharp than the Emperor Napoleon. He sees
the Importance which the East is likely soon
to acquire. He sees that Constantnople may
again and at no distant day become great
ceatre of power, il not absolutely all that Con-
stantine, its founder, sought to make it. lie
sees that Egypt may once more become the
seat Of empire. Above all, he sees that the
Suoz Canal marks the commencement Of new
era, and having regard to The welfare Of
France, to the future Of his dynasty and par
ticularly to the fortunes Of his son. he has skill
fully made use Of the occasion. His Empress,
who has already made herself the favorite Of
the East, will be not only the queen of beauty,
but the principal person present on the
occasion of the opening of the canal The
prominence which she will thus acquire will
make her power in Europe. In the event
OF the Emperors death occurring before the
majority of The Prince Imperial, she being left
Empress Regent, the dynasties viii feel them
selves bound to stand by her and to support
her against the too probable intrigues of Prince
Napoleon. Ii is Impossible to refuse to admit
Che Importance Of The changes now taking
place in the East, and it is difficult not to
believe that the foreseeng Emperor of the
French is not turning those changes, through
the Empress, to the advantage Of his family,
and particularly of bis dynasty. The swift
and the strong do not always win; but in this
case, and SO far as the Empress has been his
representative the Emperor has fair right to
look forward TO victory

that woman suffrage will bring about the

Oar Special Correspondence from Reislnn--

Oar Special Correspondence from BelGinm-
viltoY Eage q, Home IN Brussels.
The speeia, correspondence from Brussels
which Ii published in our pages this morning
will command very universal attention not
alone in the wide territory Of the United States,
hut in the several transatlantic dependencies
of the different Powers of Europe. The writer
paints Victor Hugo in the Belgian capital, in
the midst Of his family, enjoying the affection
ate attentions Of his sons and their children,
the illus.rious poet and novelist being just
engaged in preparing for return from the
city to his ocean-bound home. The great
writer accorded an immediate interview to
our representative, testifying at once by his
condcscension, at such moment, his full
appreciation Of the power OF FREQ and indie
pendent newspaper press, as well as present
ing most graceful acknowledgment of its
valac as 81 everyday instructor Of the peoples
and q watchfui guardian of their liberties. 1t
il not necessary that we should here enumerate
the different points OF the communication
which reports the OCCASION as il will be read
attentively 10 its entirety by our great cosmo-
politan audience early and Immediately. The
simple yet elegant temporary residence of the
poet will, with The plain and unaffected yet
faithful and warm-hearted manner in which he
was served, be remembered from our news
paper account Of to-day by scholars and stu
dents and the masses of the American people
ana their children long after more lengthy and
elaborate illusions in post-o6H memogiam,
with the efforts Of The sell-consIiluted critics
OF his writings, have been forgotten.
In dialogue form our correspondent talked
with VI. FRANCOIS Victor Hugo, son of the
poet on tn, subjects Of trade and manuiac-
tire, carpets, laces and cloths Politics even
were discussed, NJ. L. Hugo rejecting The sem
timents Of his father 10 q very considerable
extent. In this capacity he sought for neor-
nation concerning the HERALD, lis vast circu-
iation management ind 10 forth, which was
freely accorded and The International intcr-
communion thus made more perfect, as in the
ins,a.ces OF our recent accredited special
interviews With Count Bismarck in Berlin,

Stemm Boiler ExpIosipns.

Our columns are continually containing
narratives Of fresh horrors caused by negli-
gence in reference to steam boilers, involving
loss of life and serious manning. This matter
Is the more serious because IL not only
ieopardizes the lives Of those Immediately
attendant upon the engine or boiler, but also
those OF unsuspccting persons at some distance.
Not many months back we chronicled the
explosion Of steam fire engine In this city,
which exploded while ID operation at fro III
the Bowery, killing and wounding all who
bappened to be in the vicinity. This case il
worthy of notice. because the engines OF the
Fire Department are supposed to be more
under the immediate notice of the competent
outhoritios. Now that steam power is brought
into such general use, especially in dcnsely
nominated cities and districts, the inspection
abouId be conducted with the utmost care.
From the frequency Of these disasters it.would
seem chat certificates are granted too loosely
by those who are appointed 10 conduct tho
scrutiny We are already surrounded by
sufficient dangerous clements In tho shape Of
railroad disasters, fires, chemical explosions,
40, without being exposed to thai Of ths
explosion Of stcam boilers, which can be ID
easily controlled.

the company to recover from Commodore
Vanderbilt five millions in checks and bonds

The Drawback Frauds.

The legal Investigation into Tue extensive
certain Custom House officials, under The draw
back system, is being so far zealously prose-
euted. The District Attorney, Mr.. Pierrepont,
conducts the case on the part Of the United
States, and this fact in itself, predicat ting on
Mr.. Pierrepont's zeal and his success hereto
ment to grief, augurs well for thorough and
complete sitting and exposure Of these ex
tensive and most nefarious frauds. Such a
result, if there be guilt in the matser-and Of
that there can be no doubts particularly
desirable for two good and sufficient reasons
first, the unravelling Of system Of fraud 80
intricate and complicated heretofore that the
| government can count its losses during tho
| past few years it has been in operation by
hundreds Of thousands and second, that the
parties implicated, all Of them holding high
positions in the customs here and in the Trea-
sury Department at Washington, and their
| accomplices and abettors in the frauds of no
less standing in the community, may all be
brought to speedy and condign punishment. II
is gratifying to know that the prosecution is
endeavoring to bring all the facts Of the case
to light, that the rascalties Of the paid officials
are being unearthed, aud the whole meodus
| operGHGG of the system so long prac-
tised with impunity exposed. 1t will
very much enhance the public gratifica-
| ton if they find that the ascending delauiters
shall also he brought to justice and that every
effort is being made for their arrest.
There must be in this case no mere feint OF
a rigorous prosecution to deceive the people,
| followed by gradual letting down and final
! abandonment Of all proceedings, as too often
happened under the late administration, when
the most notorious violators Of the Custom
House, Pos. Office and Internal Revenue laws
| went unwhpped Of justice. We have entered
| on new era, when offences committed by
officials under the government Shall be visited
| with the punishment due thereto, no matter
| how high or low the status OF such officials
may be- General Grant will permit no con
donemens Of crime and will discountepance ali
half measures, either in the prosecution Of
offences or in the inhiction OF whatever punish
mcnt the law has provided therefor We
hope to see all the facts connected with these
drawback frauds fully and completely brought
to light, the frauds saddled upon tho right
parties and the laws satisfactorily viadica.ed
by the punishment Of the guilty.
