THE FRENCH CABLE.-We have despatch
from the other side from which it appears that
the joint stock combination of the French and
English cables have entered into an arrange
ment whereby, with the consent Of the French
government, reduction Of expenses, punctual-
ity in the transmission of dispatches and per-
feet reciprocity with the United States may
be secured. We are glad to hear it; and we
venture the opinion that 50 long as the parties
concerned cooperate upon the substantial
business ideas embodied in this despatch they
will prosper. Their interests are the public
interests, and perfect reciprocity between
France and the United States is also matter
Of the FIRST importance.

The Proposed Expansion Of the Currency.
1t seems that as the House committee on the
subject has no option under the late resolution,
it will report bill increasing the national cur
rency Gin national bank notes) to the extent OF
fifty millions of dollars. The Senate having
already moved in this direction, we expect
that the House bill will be passed, and that thus
Congress will be brought into conflict with the
financial policy Of the administration, which is
not the policy Of paper imitation. There may
be chance that the scheme proposed will
fail upon hitch between the two houses; but
so general seems to be the desire, South and
West, for more paper money, and in view of an
increased paper money value Of Southern and
Western products, that we conclude the bill
will be carried, that gold will be carried up
with it, and that the gold gamblers will have
another profitable season of bulling and bear
ing to the prejudice of the honest business
classes of the country. We can only say that
if the temptation for fifty millions more to the
national currency cannot be resisted by Con-
gress, we may soon expect another issue of a
hundred millions, and so on, until from infla-
tions and speculations we are brought face to
face with collapse and reputation.

THE WINNIPEG WAR.-Despatches from
Pembna state that Rel has arrested Governor
McTavish, DR.. Cowan, an officer Of the Hudson
Bay Company, and the Postmaster at Winni-
peg. They were suspected of tampering with
members of the government in order to defeat
the Bill of Rights. Riel evidently means
business. If he is SO prompt in all his
measures he has fair chance of success.
This method Of curing lobbyists might be
modelled to suit more civilized climes than
Winnipeg.

THE FLUTTER IN RoME.-What a trouble

ripened What trouble it threatens The
Council does not begin to understand the
liberty of the press. The correspondent of the
Augsburg Gazette, the correspondent Of the
London Times, and certain Americans, names
unknown, including ecclesiastics, have re-
ceived orders to quit 1t is at the same time
added that the Council will adjourn at an early
day. Does it not seem as if all the HERALDs
predictions were about to be realized? The
HERALD has already affected public sentiment
in Prussia, in Austria and in France. Why
should " not now tell in Rome? We have per-
sistently exposed the humbugs of the Council.
We now begin to see the fruit of our persever-
ing and conscientious efforts. The Council
fears the light 1t breads the newspapers and

A COnfederacy Of Wards.

The great idea Of the democracy that
opposes the new Charter is to carry the doc
trine of State rights and local government a
little further than any fool ever proposed to
carry it before. They would make Of this city
confederacy, of which the several wards
would be the Independent States. A Charter
that gives the government of the city to the
people of the city is not enough for them.
They want Charter that will divide the thing
to nicer point and make the wards the units
of political action; because in a canvass of
the whole city there is chance that intelli-
gence may have some share in the result-there
is probability that property and respecta-
bility may neutralize the slums; but when
the city is disposed of by a series of contests
in the wards from which every decent man is
shut out, the rum shop and the dog pit will
always carry the day. All the evil of such
body as our present Board of Aldermen is
due to the fact that an Alderman is
made in the mud puddle of ward politics, and
that in that puddle decency p not only mi
nority, but dares not show it's face. Because
they know that that is the sphere of
their power the bad elements wish not
only to retain all that the present system
gives them there, but they wish to secure
more. Could they have their way, instead of
the new Charter, that proposes to have the
Aldermen chosen just as the Mayor is now
chosen, and which would give us respectable
men for Aldermen, just as it has always given
us respectable men for Mayor-instead of that
system they would have little Mayor for
every ward, who should be the keeper of the
biggest corner groggery, and a board of ward
Aldermen who should be in the junk trade, or
keep dog pits, or be leaders of cutthroat
gangs or graduates from the prize ring and the
State Prison. Nay, we do not doubt but they
would have system Of ward administration of
'justce," with judges we'll trained in Tombs
tactics, whose principal duty would be to
defeat the operation of every statute that pun
ishes crimes. This is the way the city will be
governed when we are completely under the
thumb of the new democracy, whose leaders
are Sheriff O'Brien and Champion Morrissey,
and whose mouthpiece and organ is the cop
perhead journal.

JASPER BLACKBURN, Of Louisiana, makes
fearless defence in answer to the charge that
he sold cadetships. He says he was promised
sixteen hundred dollars for two, but only got
fourteen hundred dollars, and does not see
anything very wrong in it, except, perhaps,
the failure to pay the other two hundred dol
ars.

How the Democracy Of St. Louis Cele-
brated Washington's Birthday.

ST.. Louis, Feb. 90 1870.
The democratic meeting this afternoon adopted a
resolution declaring the democracy the men,
Ory OF Washington ana will ever maintain the prn-
cipes upon which this government was founded
through his instrumentaity, and deplorng the fact
that under the present administration these princ-
pies have been far departed from to leave 1t
certain whether this Is or ls not the government
founded by the fathers OF the republic.
resolution was also adopted denouncing the
proposed change IN the naturalization laws AZ
foreign to the spirit Of our Institutions contrary to
democratic precedent, detrimental to the labor In
terests and the industrial development OF the coun-
try and calling Tor reduction OF the time now ne
cessary to citizenship and the general simplincatOn
OF the manner OF naturalization.
Aside from this meeting and few flags from the
public buildings, no notice was taken or Washing
