VIRGINIA-s'OLD TIMES COMING BACK
ONCE MORE. The corps cadets of the vir-
ginia Military School, Lexington, will give a
grand ball to the graduating class on the
ninety-fourth anniversary of American Inde-
pendence, Monday, July 4. tits pleasant to see
that so interesting an event is to be celebrated
upon so patriotic day. We congratulate the
ancient Dominion upon ''old times coming
back once MORE" In this connection we may
state that the Washington Literary Society of
the University of Virginia have celebration
on the 9th inst, as handsomely engraved
note of invitation assures us. These are
evidences that the right kind of reconstruct
ton is taking root in Virginia, and that the
blusterings CT frothy politicians are giving
way before high-toned, moral, intellectual
and patriotic sentiment all over the old Com
monwealth.

TIE LONDON ECONOMIST ON GENERAL
GRANr.-ln another place in this days
HERALD will be found an article which we
reprint from the London Economist. The
article is conceived in good spirit, as the
editorials in that journal generally are ). and
what it says regarding General Grant and his
policy will be heartily appreciated by many of
our readers. It will be we'll if Great Britain
takes the advice of the Econon,is. and settles
the Alabama claims with as little delay as
possible. The vigorous and honest policy of
the President has spared the British govern
ment world of trouble and not a little ex-
pense. An opposite policy, the Economist
shows, would have cost Great Britain more
than the Alabama claims are worth. The
latter part Of the article, which points out the
difference between the Cabinet in Great Britain
and the Cabinet in the United States, is well
worth the consideration Of our statesmen.

Dr. COCHRAN and the rest OF Brooklyn seem

Brooklyn, which they believe DR.. Cochran is

European Dispatches by Mail.

Our special correspondence from Europe, to
hand by the latest mail, supplies very interest
ing and useful news budget. Our writer's date in
Berlin, Paris and London. They speak of re-
ligion, diplomacy, dress fashions, chiyalry,
national debts and democracy. From Berlin we
have the complete text of the note which was
addressed by the North German government
to Cardinal Antonelli on the subject Of Papal
iniaIlibility. Minister Won Arnim is both tempe
rate and respectful towards the Pontifcate.
The Prussian government indeed, acts, as is
officially shown in the document, not only as
the friend and ally of Napoleon in his
negotiations with Rome, but as liberal and
enlightened Christian Power seeking to recon
cile mans conscience to God without restraint
or compulsion, and anxious to perfect the
union of the peoples in the bonds of peace
through charity. This Prussian State paper
will have powerful effect on the Vatican.
1t may produce consequences which will be
sepulchre and from the lands of the East to
the soil of the great republic of the West.
Paris was winding up the fashionable sea-
son and preparing for the seaside with great
eclot. Our special writer in Paris gives
quite an animated description of the
''turn out" Of the beauty and style of the
French metropolis as it was witnessed on the
Bois de Boulogne on one of the concluding
days. National politics were anxiousy and
warmly, yet carefully debated both in France
and Great Britain. The tendency of the public
mind was evidently towards democracy, fra
ternity, equality and free Church. The
general aspect In the Old World, as it is pre-
sented by our special writer's, is thus hopeful
and encouraging to the cause of humanity.

THE HEALTH OF THE CfTY.-Since the
streets have been cleaned by the Board of
Health, as well as the contractor, it is stated
officially that the deaths from relapsing fever
have decreased from twenty to two per week.
At this rate it is to be hoped we will soon have
this relapsng fever relapsing into nothing.
When it does, however, the Board must not
make the fact an excuse for turning the duty
OF cleaning the streets over entirely to the con
tractor again.

Unequal Taxation-A Claim for State Banks.
1t is always unwise to impose taxes in an
unequal manner, and wherever It is done a re-
action will arise; for nothing is more true than
that the public sympathizes with any interest
which seems to be oppressed. To one of the
most glaring inequalities Of the taxation of
capital attention is now being called in diff
ferent parts Of the country. We allude to the
tax Of ten per cent on State bank circulation,
while that of national banks is only taxed one
per cent. The only possible defence this &C.
ton is capable of is that as war measure it
seemed necessary to make the whole circulat-
ing medium of the country contribute means
to carry en- the contest; and insomuch as the
boldest statesman did not presume to deny the
rights of the States to charter their own banks
national finances by taxing them out of ex-
istence was tried. Now the war is over, let
us 60 back to our own institutions. The State
Banking law of New York is far better than
the National Currency act; in fact, it was its
progenitor, and the child is not equal to the
parent, being hedged around with difficulties
which the State law is free from. II transfers
to the federal capital the power over the
finances of all the commercial parts Of the
country, which can far better be exercised at
home in each locality.
Now we ask Congress to see that when a
tax bill relating to banks is passed that in ex-
press words it is stated 'there shall be no
greater tax levied on any of the franchises of
any State bank than is imposed on the ma
tional banks" This is justice, this is equity
and only fair dealing.

THE ORLEANS PRINCES IN THE FIELD
Some short time since the remains of an
ancient Roman amphitheatre of large dimen-

Affairs i'm Japan.

The latest news from Japan received by tele-
graph from San Francisco is very interest
ing and decidedly volcanic. To commence
the intelligence, we learn that the most violent
earthquake which has occurred there since
1855 has just destr oye d several villages. The
information is not very precise as to where the
shocks took place, nor to the exact extent of
the injury, but from the fact that the great
volcano of Asamazama, in the island of Niphon,
which for centuries has been slumbering like
baby, has suddenly broken out in a furious
eruption, accompanied by violent earthquakes
and the total destruction of many villages, it is
possible that this is the location referred to- Vol
canic Influences appear to prevail in the Chinese
and Japanese waters, seeming as though the
electric chain which began in Mexico and
South America had formed connection In the
Northern Pacific. The Captain Of 2 bark re-
ports that when two hundred miles from Yoko-
hama he observed volcano at sea, the crater
of which was visible above the surface Of the
ocean. The water around, as seen from the
deck Of the vessel, appeared to be in boiling
condition, and vast clouds Of steam were issuing
from the crater. This phenomenon, taken in
connection with the late earthquakes in Cali
fornia. Mexico and the South American States,
shows that there is mysterious volcanic con-
vulsion underlying this whole line of the
tropical regions.
There are few other more pleasant and
peaceful items of news from Japan indicating
social progress in that fowery region. 9he
japanese government have granted permis-
sion for the establishment of school for the
instruction of native youths in foreign Ian
guages and in military and naval tactics.
The troops of the government also are now
drilled after the European and American sys-
TENS. Much of this advancement towards
civilization is due to the intercourse of
Americans and the general influence which
this country has exercised of late years
among the Oriental nations.

rosity as a bid for popular favor. 1t cannot
succeed. Paris must be what Napoleon wishes
it to be. The resurrection of an old Roman
amphitheare does not fit in with his plans.
Tho Greenbacks DOOmed-The National
Bnnk Power Supreme.
1t is clear now, from the voting In the
House of Representatives. on the national
currency question, that the majority Of the
members are in favor Of increasing the national
bank circulation, and of pushing the legal
tenders out of existence. This was seen when
Mr.. Gar6eld's substitute for the Senate Cur
rency bill was up on Tuesday, and yesterday,
when it was passed by vote Of 90 yeas to 81
nays. This bill as it now stands authorizes
an additional iss,re Of ninety-fve millions OF
national bank notes, and requires the cancel
lation Of forty-fve millions of three per cent
certificates. Several amendn ,nts were pro-
posed to Mr.. GarHeld's bill, to issue more legal
tenders and to make the entire circulation OF
the country legal tender or greerback one,
and to withdraw the national bank currency.
These were voted against by large majority,
which shows that the national bank influence
is supreme in the House of Representatives.
1t is the same, no doubt, in the Senate. The
next movement will be to withdraw altogether
the legal tenders, and to give the whole cjrcu-
latiou Of the country to the banking associa-
tions. One Of the most significant votes was
that on ths proposition g NJ NJ n-rc, ..,rca,ra.
requiring national asanks to retain and keen in
e.dn or Treasury coin certificates, as part Of
.nel. resel. ,ae Interest falling due upon the
oonds deposited as secarity for circulation
until the reserve required to be kept shall
consist wholly Of coin and coin certificates.
This proposition, which contemplated bringing
the banks to specie payments or specie basis,
was rejected. OF course, as we have fre-
| quently said, the national banks do not want
and never will want to return to . specie
basis. Why should they desire such vast
amount Of dead capital being locked up and
| Improbable as there would be If they were
compelled to keep a reserve of coin or coin
certificates? This would take away large
| amount Of the profits On their currency circula-
ton, and nobody goes so far against his own
interests The national banks will never fad
it to their interest to return to specie pay
ments, and, with the vast power they have
over Congress and in the country, it will be
very difficult to force them to any measure to
which they may be opposed. With the whole
circulation Of the country in their handsome
six hundred millions or more-they will have
on annual profit of nearly forty millions in
gold. Rightly all Of this belongs to the people
and should 60 into the Treasury. But the
banks have got the power and will keep it.
More than half the members of Congress,
PROBABLY, ere interested directly OR indirectly
in the national banks, and these so-caIled
representatives of the people are simply legis-
lating for themselves.

failure to do this, in every sy liable of which we
will agree with him. But as we have hitherto
shown, this is a delinquency for which Con-
gress is moro responsible than the President.
1t is one of the prices we pay for economy"
Why, contrast our government with that
of England in this regard? When would
Congress vote the money to defend half
q dozen American citizens at the expense of
such an excursion as the Abyssinian war? All
this Mr.. Banks proposes; but he does not pro-
pose at last any practical good for Cuba. His
resolution, at its utmost, puts Cuba on the
same status with Spain in general declara-
ton of our neutrality. This might make it
impossible for Spain to buy ships here when
she no longer needs them and 1t might be
he'd as constructive recognition of state Of
war, and SO of her belgerency, but it would
not yield any of the moral support which is the
most valuable thing she would get from pro-
clamation of recognition.
This, then, is not very practical friendship
for Cuba, to present q measure that ii
carried does her no good, and if lost does her
ncalculable moral harm. And why is friend
ship limited to this? Mr.. Banks no doubt is
sincere If not practical in his advocacy of the
Cuban cause; but that sincerity did not carry
him to the length Of proposing that we should
assume an attitude of even unfriendlness
to foreign Power on account of Cuba.
If, with his instincts Of universal phi
Ianthropy and his tenderness for fill
clustering that is an Inheritance of his
ancient democracy, he could propose SO little,
how much less might we expect from gov
ernment that feels full and honest RESPONSE
bility for the discharge of its duties to the
nation? The fact is the attitude taken by the
administration is the only one possible for an
honest, practical government; and though it
opposes boldly popular sentiment in favor of
the name of freedom it must eventually secure
the full support of the national common sense.
We not only cannot afford war for the sake of
Cuba, but we cannot afford the very shadow of
war. nor the note Of preparation. Our first
duty is 10 ourselves and our creditors; and to
bs just We must keep the peaoe. We are
