Chances for tie Funding Bill.

According to our Washington news the
fate Of the Funding bill, or of any funding
bill, depends upon the national bank influence
in Congress. This is just what we have been
saying all along. We think the bill now before
Congress is crude, complicated and imprac-
ticable measure, and we still maintain that o
simple resolution authorizing the Secretary Of
the Treasury to convert the debt bearing six
per cent interest into securities Of longer date
at lower rate of interest, If he can do 50, is
all that is necessary. A clause, however,
compelling the national banks to take the re-
duced new per cents as security for their cir
culation would be just and proper. This
appears to be the only way in which these
privileged institutions can be made to pay
something for the great advantages they have
obtained from the government. But we have
no idea this can be carried. The national
banks are too powerful in Congress for any
measure to pass that touches their privileges
and enormous profits. The Funding bill is a
great job, and if the clause with regard to the
national banks be stricken out, by way of COM
promise, the best thing will be to abandon the
measure altogether. Ifanybody will take long
four or five per cents for short six per cents
at par let Mr.. Boutwell, be authorized to
make the conversion. This is all that is
necessary at present.

womau,s Rights In England.

The British Parliament solemnly endorsed
the woman's rights movement last night. The
bill which accords the electoral suffrage to
women was debated in the House Of Commons.
and passed to second reading, after very
animated discussion, by vote Of 1874 against
81. The fact constitutes really important
event In the current history Of English
politics. The members Of the House Of
Lords are certainly too gallant to refuse to
endorse the action of their co-legislators in the
Commons in this instance. The ladies Of
England will have very ''good time" of it
about election day in future. They will con-
stitute "balance Of power" party, and will,
consequently, be caressed by the aristocrats,
and most probably carried round in Hyde
Park and other public places on the shoulders
of the democracy. They will certainly vote
on the side of free speech, unless they should
belle all their former professions, when they
become politicians. Queen Victoria, as will
be seen by our cable telegram from London,
will be the only lady who viii remain dis
franchised in England, although her income
qualification amounts TO eighty thousand
pounds sterling year.

PEDESTRIAN PERILs on THE STREET. Have
foot passengers any rights which drivers are
bound to respect? is question which might
very nationally come up at the next meeting of
the Police Debating Club. ''That man Of lone
liuess and mystery" who sits supreme and
unapproachable upon the box of the omnibus,
the express wagon and the festive butcher
cart seems to have decided it in the negative,
once for all. Let timid girl, a halting cripple
or feeble old man be seen struggling across
the street, and Jehu ''goes for the hapless
wretch with vim that would excite the envy
of the Enniskillen dragons. This thing
would be ludicrous were it not 80 seriously
fraught with deadly peril to thousands who
must continually cross and recross our streets.
The only way to stop the evil is TO arrest and
punish the reckless driver who esteems the
safety Of human being less than moments
detention in his headlong career. Mistakes
will sometimes occur, but in most cases where
| injury is inflicted the hand that controls the
| horses is at fault. Our streets are not race

France and the PlebiscIse.

As the Sth of May approaches the excitement
in France becomes more and more intense.
The government does all it can-and it can do
much-to make the election sure Every
precaution is being taken by the government
to bring the people to the ballot box with an
affirmative vote. When we remember that every
officer in the army, that every project Of every
department, that every mayor Of every city
and every township and every village in France
is bound to do as he is bid it is not possible to
doubt that the Emperor must come off vic
torious. At the same time we cannot close
our eyes to the fact that the opposition in all
it's sections is doing its best to defeat him.
Counter proclamations have been issued. In
these the most is made Of Mexico, of Sadowa,
of eighteen years Of misrule, Of debt in
creased by some ten hundred million dol
lars, and of a yearly taxation of some four
hundred millions. The oppositionists ask
France whether, with these facts before her, she
will ''renew the plenary powers of the EN-
peror" With all these facts paraded before
France the Emperor counts on some six million
votes out of eight millions. We shall be sur
prsed if his majority does not prove much
larger than those figures imply. There have
been some street disturbances, but, considering
all things, they have been Insignificant.

Pas GaEss OF The HERALD.

During the last week the average daily mass
Of advertisements in this journal of all descrip-
tons was about forty-thr columns, or some
thing over seven compact pages in small type
greater average than that Of any preceding
week since the issue of our first number.
In corresponding ratio our daily circula-
ton has been and continues to be steadily and
rapidly increasing.
In it's advertisements and circulation, the
HERALD having been for many years recog-
nized reflex and index of the prosperity and
expansion of this great commercial and flnan-
cial metropolis and of its fluctuations in
business affairs we may submit our enlarging
prosperity of this season as fair indication Of
q general revival of business here and through
out the country.
From present appearances, looking at the
growth of the city itself, and OF its surround
ing suburban cities and villages on Long
Island, Staten Island, and in New Jersey,
Westchester and Connecticut, and at the
Increasing demands of our advertisers and
subscribers within this radius and from all
parts Of the Union, the Continent and the civil
lied world, we expect soon to ha required to
issue daily quadruple HERALD, and to meet
demand which we are prepared to meet,
rising from one hundred and fifty thousand 10
two hundred thousand copies every day in the
year.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR EGYPT.-Qute
number of military officers, distinguished in
the Confederate service, have recently left this
city for Egypt to help the Pacha Ismail in his
pending troubles with the Sultan of Turkey.
Arms and ammunition have also been for
warded, and it is rumored that steamship
loaded with naatsriel of war is on the eve Of
departure. The new fighting American Consul
General in Egypt, Colonel Butler-nephew Of
the redoubtable General Benjamin F.--will be
in his element when he reaches his coming
field of labor and finds himself surrounded by
congenial chivalric spirits. This will exhibit
the spectacle of Americans helping Russia
from an unexpected standpoint
The New York herald., 1870-05-05

THE RATES OF WHARFAGE.-Th Legislature
a few days previous to its adjournment passed
a bill which had been pending from the COM
mencement of the session, authorizing an
increase of the rates of wharfage in this city
and Brooklyn. The same bill had been before
every Legislature for the past eight years but
the influence OF few shipping merchants, who
were actuated by short-sighted policy, was
sufficient to keep it back. 1t has now, how
ever, reached the Governors hands, and we
have been frequently asked whether he will
permit it to become law. In Mr.. Hoffman's
annual message to the Common Council on the
9th of January, 1868, he said:-
The present rates of wharfage and dockage. as
established by the State Legislature, are low that
lessee cannot afford to pay rental nearly equal To
the Interest on the Estimated value OF the wharf
property.
If the views of Governor Hoffman coincide
with those of Mayor Hoffman we cannot well
see how he can withhold his signature from the
bill.

INAUGURATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF Con-
NEorIcUT.-Yesterday the Inauguration of
James e. English, recently elected by the
democrats Governor Of Connecticut, took
place at New Haven, with unusual pomp and
display. In the afternoon the Governor sent
in his message to the Legislature, in which,
while recommending acquiescence to the
fifteenth amendment, he soundly rates
the republicans for their usurpations, de-
nounces the manner in which the recon-
struction policy has been carried out,
and declares that if Connecticut possessed the
constitutional power to resist encroachments
upon her rights he would not hesitate to recon-
mend its exercise by the State. The Governor,
in fact, is particularly belligerent in his mes
sage, while confessing the impossibility of
fighting the radicals with more carnal weapons
than votes. The concluding parts Of the mes
sage are devoted to State affairs, which are
represented as prosperous in every respect.

Congress Yesterday.


The Senate yesterday took up the concur
rent resolution to adjourn on the Fourth OF
July, and discussed 1t in . spirit indicative
of desire to remain In session much longer,
but 1t went over on the expiration Of the
morning hour without being acted upon. The
valuable time yet to be wasted in discussing
this point may possibly suffice, IL the Senate is
80 disposed, to transact all the really impor-
tant business Of Congress. The country does
not want so long session. 1t wants prompt
legislation on the taxation and tariff questions,
and an early adjournment. The calendar Of
private bills was completed yesterday, and an
attempt was made to take up the Franking
bill as special order, but it failed, and bill
to sell the Usage Indian Reservation was taken
up in it's stead.
The House has apparently settled on two
topics that bid fair to keep it busy until July
Jenckes' Civil Service bill and the Tariff. The
timid Peters, Of Maine, who is still nervous at
the ghastly prospect Of bloody-handed rebels
holding loyal Offices, appears to be the princi-
pal opponent of Mr.. Jenckes'. bill. There are,
however, several ADLER members opposing the
bill, and it is quite likely that Its tendency to
withdraw patronage from honorable Congress
men will develop great deal OF opposition
not heretofore expected The Tariff bill dis
cussion has progressed safely beyond iron and
is now ON steel.

ST.. THoMAs-TnE REASON WHY.-The
President Of the Danish Council OF Ministers
has informed the Felkthing Cor House of Com
mons) that he has received dispatches from
Washington explaining the delay in the rati-
fication Of the st. Thomas treaty. The reason
of the delay may be briefly stated. Seven
millions at Washington is regarded as vastly
too much for an island which any day in the
year may be turned inside out and upside
down by succession of tropical earthquakes.
The New York herald., 1870-05-05

VERY MUoH THE SAME.-John Russell
Young, of the new Standard, having opened
fire on Dana, of the Sun, we are disposed
to regard this irrepressible conflict very
much as the old backwoods heroine of Ten
nessee regarded the fight between her husband
and the bear. ''She didn't care which
whipped, but it looked to her as if both sides
would be the worse for wear and tear before
they got through"

ANOTHER Fool AND His MONEY. A cable
despatch Informs us that an evening paper
called the Sun, published in London, has been
purchased by the Marquis of Butte. The Sun
hitherto, we are told, has been liberal
political journal. It is now to be issued daily
as Catholic organ. 1t is, we fear, one more
illustration of the old truth thet ga fool and
his money are soon parted" Party organs
have long since ceased to pay even in London.
Party Catholic organs, published daily, have
no chance. The youthful Marquis might do
better with his money. But he believes he is
in good hands. We cannot say he is not Tor
he is certainly in better hands than those Into
which fell his unfortunate cousin Hastings

THE LABOR CLASSES IN MASSACHUSETTS,. -
Phillips, giving his views on the labor ques-
ton. Butler is shrewd politician and
never loses an opportunity to expound such
of his views as look well in print. He
strongly favors in this letter the shortening Of
the hours of labor and the tightening of the
laboring mans burdens. He says 1--WE
know that Massachusetts, ideas, Massachusetts,
statistics, the education of Massachusetts,
people quite considerably impress the legisla-
ton of the whole country" In that case we
are of the opinion that the laboring laws Of
Massachusetts especially, being in some re-
spects most Infamous, should be Immediately
revised,

A COOP PLACE FOR SAMBo-New Jersey,
under the fifteenth amendment. Sambo is
supposed to hold now in Jersey the political
balance of power, and accordingly he is in
high feather over there with both parties. No
wonder, then, the women's rights women are
SO urgently demanding "equal rights" in the
ballot; and why not? That's the question.
Let them keep up the fire.

DETROIT, May 25.-The city was filled with
rumors of Fenian movements last night and it
was reported that two large barges in tow of
tug, and carrying about 200 men, had left the
dock about IL o'clock, but the rumor can be
traced to no reliable source.
CINCINNATI, May 25.-General Starr, Colonel
Trusney Major 0'Keefe, and three privates, are
said to have left the city last night for the
North. The effert to get men has been q great
failure. The Fenian organization of Cincinnati
has steadily declined to furnish money, arms, or
countenance to the attempt, which they regard
as fraught with failure.
New YORK, May 25.-Evening papers here
have specials saying General O'Neill crossed
the frontier at ST. Adams last night at o'clock,
remarking "Ill never recrosss the lines unless
l am victorious or dead" The troops are in
two columns, one upon st. Johns and the otner
in the direction of Richmond. The utmost con-
sternation prevails in Canada owing to the utter
lack of preparations for resistance.
SYRACUSE, May 25.-About 500 Fenians left
this city to take part in the movement on
Canada. Three hundred left for the East by
the midnight train, and about 200 had gone pre-
viously in small squads.
ROCHESTER, May 25.-The British steamer
Norseman, running to and from this port, came

OBITUARY..

Right Rev. Jackson Kemper d. D., LID, Bishop
Of Wisconsin, died yesterday, at his residence in
Milwaukee, in the eighty-third year OF his age. He
was educated at Columbia College, New York, and
shortly after was ordained a deacon In the Epsco-
pal Church. He commenced his ministerial labor
as an assistant to Bishop White, in the united
parishes OF Christ, st. Peters, and st. James
Churches in Philadelphia. He remained in this city
for twenty years, when he was called to St. Paul's
Church, Norwalk, Conn. DR.. Kemper was cense-
Grated Missionary Bishop OF Missouri and Indiana
in September, 1885. In June, 1854, he was elected
Bishop OF Wisconsin, and accordingly resigned his
missionary field for that OF regular diocese. He
was one of the pioneers Of the Episcopal Church In
the Northwest, and to his labors much OF the pros
perity of the Church In that region is due He was
the third bishop in order OF seniority, and his loss
will be source of great grief with his associates
and with all who are able to appreciate the extent
and value OF his Christian labors.
