Napoleon and Mother Church-Tit for Int.
The HERALD special correspondent in Rome
announces the important fact that the Emperor
of France executed very brilliant manGuvre
against the Papai plan Of infaIlibility lately.
The French Minister in Rome assured Cardinal
Antonelli in the early days of February that
France would withdraw her troops from the
Pope's dominions in case Of declaration of
his personal infallibility." This announcement
was made, by imperial order, in despatch
from Count Daru, the main points of which
are also published. One would imagine
that it would have convinced his Holi-
ness in moment of his fallibility by simply
recalling the memory of Garibaldi, Mazzini and
other distasteful personages. The Sacred Col
lege was fully equal to the emergency, how
ever. The newspaper organ of the Jesuts in
Rome Immediately retorted in an article
headed s'Sham Politicians and the Council, in
which the writer declared that in certain con-
tingencies Of Cabinet policy "a Catholic State
would certainly destroy ITSELF" and again, that
'sthe Church would soon recover its equilibrium,
but the State plunge into hopeless abyss"
Immediately after this article appeared in print
came the Paris barricades, the street riots, the
military and Napoleon in full uniform ready to
head bis troops 1t was a clever Jesuit "tit"
for hard Bonaparte Stat" Two cunning
Powers playing very neat but very danger
GUS game.

Electric Teiegrnphs Under G0vernmen,
MRnagemeut.

We are enabled by special correspondence
first complete, candid and impartial state
ment which has yet been made of
the working Of the British telegraphs
under government control. The entire tele-
graph business Of the United Kingdom was
fairly in the hands Of the officers of the
Crown at the moment when our despatch was
forwarded. Although it was found somewhat
difficult to master the subtle agency at first so
as to subjugate its power completely to a
uniform rule of discipline tending solely to the
public veal, the work was accomplished.
The home millions Of the subjects Of Queen
Victoria were reaping the benefits. These
benefits were difilsive and domestic. They
were brought to the door and freside of every
man in the land. The electric spark had
already tended to elevate the humble--as it
will eventually regenerate this foreign Dc:
fI,ocracy-and bring the masses into ! closer
intercommunion by the educational communi-
cation Of the instant. An Englishman who
cannot even lead can now speak his wants to
his fellow in the painfully Ineligible Ian
guage of common Identical suffering, and
the other be made to understand his brief
message Of woe or joy instantly, being assured
Of its truth although completely indif-
ferent to its style of verbiage or rule of
grammar. The government telegraphs will
thus induce comminglement of the natu-
raj sympathies of the nation by the
use Of one of the grandest but long hidden
forces of nature, "the light shining in dark
ness" with the darkness" made able ''to
comprehend" it.
AS in the first instance Of every grand revo-
luton which has preceded it, the working of
the English telegraphs by the government is
opposed-opposed by associated monopolists,
interested jobbers, greedy persons the faith
less, and all those who worship earthly gain
and have had their hearts contracted by the
intensity of their devotion. The tele-
graph monopolists feel the severe blow which
has been struck at their corporate interests,
not only in the matter of overland line profits,
but in that Of submarine cable tariff COM

THE RED RIVER DBTURBANoE.-The news
from the Red River district shows that the dis
turbance In that quarter has not yet come to
an end. II is simply absurd to imagine that
any important consequences can flow from it,
and for the simple reason that in itself it
amounts to nothing. When the spring sun
begins to shine and the snow and the ice dis
appear those few hunting filibusters will be
nowhere. It is of far more consequence to US
that from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to
New Columbia there are loud grumblings OF
dissatisfaction and openly expressed desires
for annexation to the United States. The
New Dominion for time will have q chance,
and 1t will no doubt form q landmark in the
history of the development Of this Continent;
but Ultimate annexation is the result which
men all over the Northern part of this Conti-
nent see ia inevitable.

The Spring Tradc-Tho Prospect.

Not since the spring of 1860 have we had
such dulness of trade as we have had since
January of this year. 1t still continues. 1t is
gratifying, however, to know that the darkest
hour has been all but, if not absolutely,
reached In the mercantile community gen.
orally doubt and fear begin to yield to hope
and confidence. The steady decline Of gold
has had a depressing and embarrassing effect
on the trading community. In proportion as
it is felt that bottom is about reached there is
growing feeling of security. The feeling
which expressed itself 80 happily in the gov
ernment printing Office at Washington on Satur-
day on the occasion Of the visit Of General
Grant is widespread over the community. 1t
Is felt that in spite Of the somewhat protracted
dulness Of trade the first year of Grants
administration has really been prosperous. It
is triumph which has not been often expe-
rienced in the history Of any people to have in
one year reduced the debt nintey-eight mil
lions, and to have brought gold down from one
hundred and forty-flve almost to par. We are
grati6ed to know that orders begin to come in
from the West and South, and that really the
prospect brightens. The nation at the present
moment looks to Congress. We must have an
end of all uncertainty. Merchants must know
where and how they stand. If the Funding
bill is not to be passed, then it ought to be
rejected at once. One way or the other this
cause Of uncertainty ought to be removed.
We have the same to say Of the bill which pro-
poses to add fifty millions to the currency
There ought to be no delay. The bill should
be passed at once or thrown out. If Congress
will act wisely and with becoming prompti-
tude we shall soon feel ourselves on solid
ground, and merchants will take courage.
Under the new condition Of things and on a
basis satisfactory and enduring we shall
advance with firm step towards prosperity
which we have never hitherto experienced.
The millions Of gold now lying useless in the
vaults Of Europe wait but the opportunity
to pour their favors upon us and to
develop our immense and boundless resources.
With the bright sunshine and the refreshing
showers and the blossoming flowers of spring
we shall expect to find ourselves in the midst
of state Of things which, if not all we could
wish, will be at least cheering and pregnant
with promise.

favors the Cubans; but il we enter into war
with Spain the Spanish factions will be
united, and Prim will be made absolute
monarch, thereby upsetting the present repub-
lican government of that country. In other
words, republican government, even such a

Egypt After Twenty-four Csuturios-Ths
Herald Reporting Proxres..


Egypt After Twenty-feur Csuturls,-rhe
Herald Reporting Progress.
The HERALD special correspondence from
Cairo, Egypt, which we publish in our col
umns this morning, presents one of the earli-
est civilized countries in the world to the
citizens of the youngest and most free in its
garb of modern reconstruction and reform.
The land Of Sesostris and Rameses looks to
the country of Washington and Jackson for
fraternal endorsement of its well asserted
truths-that grand nationalities are eternal
and their peoples indestructible. Modern
Egypt is engaged in work OF recu-
peratiOn and progress. Her present
history po ssesses peculiar interest for the
American people in consequence. This we
chronicle by special record In our pages to-day.
The HERALD writer reports the opening of
the fourth annual session Of the Egyptian Par
lament by the Viceroy. The construction and
constitution of the representative assemblage
are also given. The executive speech Is Of q
very gratifying character in the present, and
fruitful of promise and in hope for the future.
His Highness concludes with the words:-"Our
unanimous efforts have for their object the
general good, the development of the richness
of the country and its civilization. make
sincere prayers that the All-Powerful God
will aid us in the accomplishment of our task
and in crowning with success our cordial
efforts" It is the invocation of the blessing
as of old, the land overaowing with milk
and honey" and Gods providence over and
directing all. The members Of the Egyptian
Parliament do not enjoy sinecure
under the Viceroy, as will be seen from
the schedule of legislative work which
he has submitted to them. This State
paper embraces clauses relative to the
construction of lighthouses on the coast 80
as to facilitate access to the entrance Of the
Suez Canal, and the establishment of properly
controlled employment offices for servants and
laborers. Railroads are being repaired and
extended; the navigation of the Nile engages
much attention, and the police system is
vastly reformed and disciplined.
Society was becoming brilliant again in the
old land. The HERALD special writer speaks Of
theatres and the opera, American visitors and
an American romance, which terminated in
fashionable marriage. The birth of grand
son to the Viceroy was made the occasion Of
great rejoicing at court, although the interest
ing event made his Highness' mother grand
mother. The political aspect was calm and
pleasing. Peace was maintained with Turkey
and the other nations. Our special corre-
spondent was thus in fine tone. This ha ppy
state of feeling is fully reflected in his inte-
resting despatch from Cairo.

THE PROSPECTS FOR GoLLADAY.-Governo
Stevenson, the democratic Governor of Ken
lucky, has set good example to other gov
ernors in refusing to accept the resignation Of
Golladay, the democratic Congressman from
that State, who is charged with selling cadet
ships. The newspapers of Kentucky generally
unite in condemning Golladay, and the senti-
ment Of the people is strongly against his
being reelected to succeed himself The
Louisville Commercial, a republican paper, in
this connection makes neat point, which will
apply to bewssse and Whittemore, or any
other members who may resign 70 escape ex-
pulsion and expect to be returned. Referring
to the case of Golladay and his reported re-
signation it says:-'Now, if he should sue
ceed in reelection, the House would have
a right to expel him, not for the second, but
for the first time"

THE New POSTAL TREATY BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES AND BELGIUM. The agta-
ton for cheaper ocean postage is general
all over Europe. We are glad to notice
that the little kingdom of Belgium, which
is always forward in matters of reform,
is not behind In this. The treaty, which has
The New York herald., 1870-03-07

for it's object the reduction Of the rates by
one-half, has been signed by the Belgian gov
ernment. OF course it win be signed with
out delay at Washington. These postal
arrangements are striking indications of the
progress of the age, and point hopefully to the
great future.

CHEvALIER WEBB, it seems, is in Cuba
diplomatizing. Has he regular credentials, or
is he on his own hook? If the latter is the
case, we suspect he will kick up row with
somebody-either the Cubans, the Spaniards
or our regular representatives.

The Sandwich Islands.

We publish in another page an inter esting
letter from our correspondent in Honolulu,
which enables the readers of the HERALD to
judge Of the condition of affairs in the
Hawaiian Islands. For long time the labor
question has been g live subject in that part of
the yg@Ela. fhe believers in free Ie1or regard
the system of which they ars the champions as
bes: calculated to develop the resources of the
islands; but the goSefkkent party, backed up
by the planters, have vigorously fought against
the Introduction of free labor. The elections,
however, which occurred recently, tend to
show that the liberal party, on free labor
platform, are adding largely to their numbers
and may iu 2 short time be able to shape legis-
lation to more progressive course on a SUBJ
ject of SO much interest to the Hawaiisns. In
the meantime the coolie trade progresses. The
King has sent for more coolies to China. The
missionaries are charged, too, with being blind
to this trade in human flesh, and the reason
given for their apathy is that many of them
are interested in plantations worked by COM
pulsory labor. The agitation now going on in
Hawaii, we trust, will not fail in good results.
FRANCE-ABOLTTION OF CABLE MONoPo-
LIEs.-By issuing a decree authorizing the
submersion of second ocean telegraphic
cable between France and Algeria it seems
that the French government is determined to
destroy all chance Of monopoly in that i'm
portant service. II so it is q step in the
right direction, and an example worthy to be
followed. The telegraph is now becoming
more important than the post Office. and should

Resuming Specie Payments.

While spectators are racking their brains
to find out what may be the probable course
of the gold market, and as to whether we are
likely soon to reach specie basis, the people
are beginning to settle the question of specie
payments for themselves independent of the
action of the government. In the western
portion of New York, and particularly near
the Canadian border, silver is used at par with
currency by many in trade, and in this city
there are several places where silver
change is given over the counters in
place of fractional currency. At the
present price of gold and the relative
value of silver and gold, silver is
near par with greenbacks. Then there
is undoubtedly good deal of silver in the
country, for it has not gone abroad as readily
as gold. In the British American colonies on
our borders there is a positive glut of silver,
and Of course this will be brought over and
into circulation when at par with currency.
1t is curious fact, which will puzzle the cur
rency theorists who have clamored for con-
traction in order to reach specie payments,
that the precious metals decline as we ap-
proach specie payments, while the volume of
currency remains the same as when gold was
at premium Of hundred and fifty or higher.
This fact knocks all their theories on the head.
The probability is that if we reach specie pay
ments the volume of currency, paper and the
precious metals together will be much greater
than at present or for some years past; for it
must be seen now that contraction of the cur
rency is not necessary, and the gold and silver
that will be brought out from their hidden
recesses will swell the amount of circulation.
In case we reach or approach nearly specie
payments it is possible, therefore, we may
havean easy money market
