MucH Of the news sent by cable Is not
readily understood by those lacking per-
sonal familiarity with the theater OF the
European war; and in some cases we lear
It Is not comprehensive 10 anybody
Many reports sent us as news are mere
roorbacks manufactured by spectators
and stock gamblers, who sometimes do
not know enough about the field OF OPP
erations 10 make their stories consistent
with geography. OF such we fear is the
report this morning that the French have
stormed "Weissenberg, q towu in the
Palatinate, on the border"
There Is q WeiSsenberg in Saxony,
a Weisscnburg in Middle Franconia and
a wissembourg or (Germau) Weisseuburg,
II fortified town in the French department
Of Bas Rhin, on the right bank, or French
side, Of the Lauter. This town is on the
Palatinate border, but on the French side
oft. It has strong Notifications and lines
ofwalls besides, extending S. E. along the
Lauter, for a distance of nine miles. II II
were reported the Prussians had stormed
the place the report would be ineligible
but why the French should storm one Of
their own fortresses, which seems to have
been in their possession all the time, it is
difficult to comprehend. II there is any
other " Weissenberg" on this border, it
does not appear on the maps or in the
gazetteers.

New York Crime and the Remedy.

FFUWb NIS fTUttNtltCt VVhIVtH'
The sleepy virtue of New York arouses,
in spAsmOdiC Indignation, over the horrl.
bic crime which has just been perpetrHted
in part Of the city where man might
think himself secure, il anywhere, in
New York. The wealth and high posi-.
ton Ofthe victim, his personal worth and
many friends, give TO this murder con-
righteousness which crimes, not less bloody,
and Of rs horrible character, fail to attract.
But although most glNring evidence Of
the insecurity Of that great city, ii is by no
means IL stronger one than the offences
which are daily chronicled in the papers,
and which show that New York is the
worst governed city in the world Its
municipal government is elected by fraud,
Is carried on in corruption, and men OF
highest influence in il are occupied with
the increase of their private fortunes
ut the expense OF the treasury. The
cost Of its municipal rule is a
quarter Of tho whole cost Of the Federal
Government, army and navy, civil and
diplomatic, before the war. The new
City Hall, which has been longer in build
ing than the siege Of Troy, and will cost
more than the Capitol ut Washington,
rears its unfinished columns, monument
Of the imOcCility, for any purpose but
corruption, OF the city authorities. And
how can il be otherwise with such Il sui.
lrage, when false naturalization papers
pass from hand 10 hand till each one is
voted on more times than there are words
in the certificate, where in some districts
the number Of Democratic voters exceeds
the population, and where more than
threc.Quartcrs Of tue offices are held by
foreigners, many Of whom were never
legally naturallzedY
The publichofror at this last recorded
crime, and the great rewards offered, may
bring the bloody actors in it to justice,
and unless they are men unc0mmonly
valuable 10 Tamniany, they will probably
suffer the penalty II the law. But the
remedy Tor the vice and crime OF New
York Is ono which administration cannot
reach, for the fault lies at the very tOun.
datiOn Of the political fabric, in the cor.
ruption Of the suffrage.

TEE NATHAN MURDER-The mystery
Of the NATHAN murder continues to be a
topic Of absorbing interest in New York
and throughout the country. Our read
ers have from day to day the latest ascer-
tanned facts, and the theories Of the New
Nork press concerning the horrid deed
which seems shrouded in impenetrable
mystery. An article from the Brooklyn
Eagle, reproduced elsewhere, indicates that
suspicion Is setting very strongly against
sou Of the murdered man. A statement
made by Gen. FRANK P. BLAIR, also copied
elsewhere, is in singular contradiction to
statements previously made concerning
the front door and the person who gave
the alarm. The CorOner's inquest will
begin to-day.

ENGLISH Observation-Disclosures pub
lie opinion is dissatisfied with the practi-
cal exposition Of English neutrality that
extends sympathy to Prussia and sells coal
and ammunition to France. Prussia
would rather have more powder and less
sympathy, while France may be content
with any amount of Indignation that is
seasoned with coal. We have had some
specimens Of English neutrality; and if
Prussia has expected it to be maintained
