The financial troubles from which the Italian
Kingdom has suffered 80 grievously during
the last ten years, have risen in great part
from the heavy expense consequent upon the
maintenance of great military establishment.
Now that Italian unity is completed, and that
Italy is exceptionally safe from any compli-
cation with any foreign power, We should
think Italian statesmen would, as soon as pos
sibly, largely reduce the army. What need
has Italy of an army 100000 strongi Why
should she waste her strength to keep up such
useless and costly military machnes As
things now stand, Italy's greatest danger is
from her own army, which weighs heavily on
her industrial interests, and calls for taxation
too heavy for the people to bear.

THE LAST DAY.

Unless registered before o'clock Tonight
yOu cannot cote at our State and City Election
merit Tuesday. Such is the law, and it is right
Six days will remain for arranging the lists of
registered voters and scrutinizing them prior
to the Election. This is none too much. II
repeaters and persons not entitled to vote
shall have obtained registration, let them be
detected and arrested before yoting-at far
thest, when they offer to vote. We prefer
locking the stable-dOor while the steed re-
mains unstolen. Woe to the villains who plot
and scheme to destroy by illegal votes the in
estimable Right of Suffrage!
If you are legal voter in this City, and
are not yet registered, go at once to the place
of registry in the Election District You in
habit, and see your name placed on the list
of Legal Voters! 1t is your right to have it
there; it is your duty to see that it is inscribed
accordingly And there is nothing whatever
in your way. All the bosh about Federal
"bayOnets,n military interference with the
"freedom of elections" &C., &C., is in
tended for fools. That interference is wholly
on the side of legal voters, and facilitates the
exercise and enjoyment Of their rights. Keep
ing out repeatefs is essential to the integrity
of the franchise. Your right to vote is not
worth straw if rascal may poll dozen
votes against your one vote. Illegal voting
disfranchises the legal voter
Fellow Citizens! for years you have justly
and forcibly complained of the destruction of
your legal rights by ballot-box suffers and
fraudulent canvassers. At last, your prayers
and remonstrances have been needed. The
Government Of your country has undertaken
to protect and vindicate your long violated
Right of Suffrage. For once, you will have
an election by votes legally cast and honestly
counted. VIII you now turn your back on

Will Paris be bOmbardedf 7 The assurances
that it was the intention of the Germans to
open fire upon the city Immediately are again
repeated this morning from several sources,
and with such circumstance and detail that
they are likely to obtain greater credence than
they deserve. The South German allies have
been invited to visit Versailles to witness the
bombardment, and according to the rum0rs
alluded to the present is the fatal day selected.
But all the evidence seems to contradict the
assurances. 1t has evidently never been the
purpose of the Germans to injure the city II
they could by bombardment; and 1T does
not seem probable that they will waste lite to
seize that which is ready to drop helplessly
into their hands. The population of Paris is
already upon short rations; each soldier re-
ceives but pound of meat week, and the
ratiOns of the citizens are doubtless even less.
An officer on Gen. Won MOltke's staff, writing
on the 22d of October, calculates that the sur
render of the city will take place within
fortnight or three weeks from that date, and
speaks of Hunger being our best ally" This
dispatch at once reveals the purpose and the
hope of the Germans The first Is wise and
the last not unreasonable.

The World has now stated. two or three times,
that the policy of THE TRIBUNE concerning
the absurd charges against Gen. WoodfOrd has
been reversed. If the Editor is not careful,
his own statements will soon come to have as
little weight as his bogus cable dispatches.
The TRIBUNE said from the outset what it
says now, that so long as the charges against
Gov. WOodfOrd had no more responsible source
than campaign speech by Mr.. Oakley Hall, a
man denounced by Tie World itself as shame
less corruptionist of the Ring, they required
no notice and would command no belief. Men
and journals, however, with trifle more claim
to belief, were entrapped into sanctioning these
charges. Then we thought it worth while to
take space enough, once for all, to explode
and demolish them. The foolish Democrats
who put their trust in the idle invention have
ever since been engaged in reflections upon
the warning we gave them about believing
thing merely because Oakley said it. That

ordered all his tenants to vote for the Tory candi-
date for the House of Commons. His Grace had enl'
ployed certain Dr. Macauley to attend upon thesick

officer of the parish of Canrobie. Dr. Macauley,
with real Scotch independence, saw lit to support
the Liberal candidate. For this niquity he was
commanded TO cease his attendance upon the col

Oliver Twist at the head, for the removal OF sr'

TIE ArRIC1y DIAMOND FIELDS

The excitement which prevails in the British
settlements at the Cape of Good Hope over
the discovery of an extensive and possibly a
very rich diamond field, few days journey
into the interior, is not difficult to account for,
though it is by no means certain that any of
the seekers after the precious gem have yet
made their fortunes. There is no kind of lot
terry so alluring to adventurous spirits as one
which offers the chance of picking up, without
the labor of washing, digging, or refining, o
single little stone worth thousands of dollars,
or OF putting into ones waistcoat pocket gems
worth the ransom of an emperor. The search
Tor diamonds is almost new sensation. Gold
mining has become an old story, whose bril-
nancy has worn away, and men know pretty
well now that, like most other pursuits, it pays
very few in the long run except those who
put into it intelligence, capital, and hard work
enough to enable them to get rich in any
manufacturing or producing industry. In fact,
mining is no exception to the general rule that
fortunes are earned, not found. But there are
20 few places in the world where diamonds
nave ever been gathered that the news of q
hitherto unknown valley, sparkling with the
rare gem, reads like the story of Sindbad's
wonderful discovery when the roc bore him to
tho fabulous rayine glittering with more
wealth than man could compute in life
time Diamonds have been found among the
gold deposits of Virginia, Georgia, and North
Carolina, on the Siberian slopes of the Ural
Mountains. and in the island Of Borneo but
1t u only in the famous mines of GolcOnda,
IN Hindostan, and the narrow district of
Mlnas Geraes, in Brazil, that they have been
discovered in great quantities or of large size.
These two localities may be said to have
supplied tho whole world and in
consequence The demand for diamonds has
always exceeded tho supply, and their com
merelM value for years has boon steadily in

bic corruption by which the Tweeds. the

our affairs to such desperate condition. We
have notorious rogues in the most responsible
posts of tho administration; we have common
cheats administering the affairs OF great mon

muncipal purse in the hands Of Controller
who dares not show his accounts; the police

troll of the dangerous classes; the right of suf-
frage virtually taken away from honest ciu-
zens; and taxes rising with such f1ght1ui
rapidity that business is checked ana popuia-
tion is driven away. The thievish gang which
rules the city has now laid its hand upon the

It is curious to notice how railway travellers, when
they escape with their lives and reasonable propor-
ton of unfractured bones, seem to feel Kind OF
touching gratitude toward the conductors who have
got them into the mess. 1t is not uncommon for
these spared monuments of good luck to hold in'
stantly meeting and to resolve that nobody is to
blame. SO, on the Ohio and Mississippi Railway, on

Louis. a swtchman, being uncOmmoniy sleepy, 50
set his switches that passenger train and coal
train came into collision, running two locomotives
and driving the smokingcar into the first regular
passengercar nearly its entire length, killing one
fireman and two passengers. Everybody else es-
capped with bruises more or less painful, but no,
dangerous" But the main point is that, according
to the account before US, "the passengers did not
seem to show any special indignation toward the
switchman who is charged with the grave RESPONSE
bity for this accident" We suppose that to be 80
nj Oh unto death and to escape it, softens the heart
and perhaps the head. To have lynched that somno-
lent swtchman incontinently would have been going
possibly little too far but this acceptance of the
boon of bare life at his unfaithful hands argues
kind of milky meekness which speaks well for the
advance of genuine non-resisance principles at ths
West.

ing the preexsting duties avowedly for Pro-

twist the facts into conformity with the above

Here is challenge publicly given. Either
the facts can be made to square with The

profoundly ignorant of the matter whereof it
speaks or it has made a reckless assertion
