One OF PRESIDENT GRANTS WIsEsT AOTs. =
The selection of so able statesman and sound
jurist as ex-Attorney General Caleb Gushing to
repair to this city and consult with the federal
and State authorities and counsel on the sub
ject of pending difficulties was one of the
wisest acts that has yet distinguished the ad-
minstration of President Grant. It required
the exercise Of high order of legal knowledge
and calmness oftemper to dispose of the knotty
points in dispute, and the emergency was happily
met in the person Of Mr.. Gushing. It should
be cause Of congratulation to all our citizens
that the controversy has been happily settled,
at least for the present, and that its DISPOSE
ton was not left to such hot-headed digni-
taries as Marshal Sharpe and other officials of
the Hotspur class.

A New and PromIsina Movement for Pence.
The neutral Powers of Europe seem to
have been aroused at last to the stern
necessity imposed upon them, even by regard
for their own national interests, to intervene in
the now hopeless struggle between Germany
and France, and to prevent the victor from
utterly crushing out the vanquished. A
despatch from Brussels to London, and received
here by cable last night, intimates, with a
strong probability of It's truth, that an arrange
ment has been effected by four neutral Powers
for an arbitration of the questions now pend
ing in the terrible tribunal of war. These
four Powers are, of course, England, Russia,
Austria and Italy. Russia is said to have
taken the preliminary measures for assembling
European Congress; and the conditions of
peace, equitable and acceptable to both France
and Prussia, are said to have been laid down.
We have had so many stories OF peace move
ments which ended in nothing that we are
naturally sceptlcal about this one; and yet the
necessity of such movement on the part Of
the neutral Powers is SO immediate and press
ing that we are inclined to lend credence to it.
We hope that the great neutral Powers of
Europe will adopt and insist upon General
Grants famous motto, "Let US have peace"

! States the utmost admiration for the character
of Washington and his brother soldiers and
patriots, and to predict brilliant future for
this republic. His successor now on the i'm
perial throne has, from frat to last, manifested
similar sentiments, and has practically illus
trated them upon every proper occasion. In
1861 Alexander resisted all the Establishments
Of Napoleon H., who tried every means to
win him over to European coalition against
us. In doing SO he spoke of our Union as
"a blessing and necessity to mankind"
Fortunate, indeed, is it, therefore, that such
Power, 80 strong, as well as so enlightened
at its seat of government, and controlled by q
man of such exalted views as Alexander,
holds the Businesses of the North and the East
Of Europe at moment so pregnant with the
fate of Old World civilization. Her immense
political weight is the ballast of the Con-
tinent, as her sensible policy may yet
become its guiding star. Russia in the
Old World and the Great Republic in
the New have each civilizng and restraining
mission. In many respects, although in a
different light, they are the complement of
each other, and form, even now, the true
"balance of power" to steady the nations. In
the earlier phase of our national life the At
lantic ocean was the chief scene OF CONNER
cial activity, but in these later years our gaze
has been directed to far grander area of en-
terprise upon the broad Pacific. San Fran
cisco aud the noble seaport cities that are
springing into vigorous life along the bays
aud nlets of the Columbia river and Puget
Sound look wisfully across to the splendid
trade of MISUNDERSTANDING Russia, which
begins to debouch from the Astounding waters
roll down to the sea, awaiting the gold and
silver of California and her sister States,
which thrill back the tidings over wires and
rails that never rest to our own glorious EN-
pire City. The hundreds Of millions of ORR
entails who within another generation are to
virtually feel the sway Of Russia will, through
her and with her, gladly hail the splendid in
crease Of American liberty and prosperity.
In such an alliance. as it exists to-day, and as
il shall be cemented and developed into joint
action in years no longer distant, mankind has
substantial guarantees of peace at last. The
statesman is no doubt already living who, in
formed by the true spirit of American fore
sight and sound sense and imbu ed with the
genuine fervor of Christian freedom, shall
utter words at Washington which, re-echocd
by ST. Petersburg, will impose silence and
reconciliation where tumult and discord now
trample down the law and consign thousands
to violent death. Such may well be the lofty
aim Of the two really leading Powers of the
earth-America and Russia.

The PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY. first
rehearsal of the Philharmonic Society came
off yesterday at the Academy. We have
looked to the philharmonic Society for some
time past as the conservator Of musical
taste in this community, and it has not hereto
fore been found wanting in this particular. In
the absence of well organized and successful
opera the Philharmonic was the prop and pill
lar of that elevated taste which we 50 much
desire to see fourishing among US. In the
production of the highest classic works Of
the great composers we had reason to feel
proud of the Philharmonic Society while under
the management of It's late president, DR..
Ogden Doremus II would be ply if the
society should deteriorate in the Least degree
from its work Of usefulness under any new
management. However, we think that the
public have not yet ceased to regret that Dr.
Doremus is no longer the presiding official.
We shall be glad to see the Philharmonic So
ciety fulfil all its glorious promises this season.
We owe much to 1t for its former Efforts in be-
half of art. 1t might have future Of great
usefulness before it, under skilful cotrol.

Moro Work for the Grand Jury.

Notwithstanding that City Jadge Bedford
was enabled to congratulate the community
upon the decrease of crime only the day be-
fore yesterday, it is singular that the criminal
history Of that same night left a very remark
able return Of bloodshed and violence upon
the record A fierce attack was made by a
gang of rowdies upon the premises of Harry
Hill, in Houston street, and the proprietor
was beaten savagcly, although it appears that
the place was occupied at the time by an ex-ser-
geant of police and other officers, enjoying
the entertainment of the saloon. Two or
three more very violent ARRAYS also occurred
in the city about the same time, arising, nc
doubt, out of the election excitement-a fact
which would admonish us that the Grand Jury
have a good deal. more work to do; and, as
they are still in session ard under the active
influence Of Judge Bedford, these later out
RACES will no doubt receive their attention.
Election times are always provocative of vio-
lence, and we must expect that the rough and
desperate elements Of society will run loose
and play desperate pranks just now. How
ever, we need not fear while we have vigilant
magistrates and intelligent grand juries to
bring the criminals to justice.

Special Letters from Paris.

BY balloon from Paris to Tours, and thence
to England and by the European mail at this
port, we have a series Of special letters from
correspondent resident in the French capital.
The communications are dated to the 9th OF
October They convey a picture Of Paris
society as 1t presents in the face of great ma
tional danger, It's levities and demoralizations,
tation is not encouraging. Paris, as our writer
observes, had Sheen petted to death, " and the
Parislans languish In their manliness under
their present reverses City residents, par
ticularly Americans, met with adventure and
novel and romantic incidents at almost every
step which they took in the streets. Some few
Of these are narrated with excellent effect.
The mind of the populace was distracted,
first by continual contrivance Of plans to get
out, next by the constant study of how they
themselves, If out, or their friends then out
side, could get in, and thirdly by the endeavor
to mature some plan or other by which to get
rid of the Prussians, Or at the very least, to
injure them severely. A very interesting
statistical table, which sets forth the amount OF
the population of Paris as it was at the time Of
the Prussian approach, as it has varied 10
numbers during the siege and as it aggre.
gated in total at date, is embodied in the let
ter, with considerable amount of useful
matter besides. From the headquarters of the
Prussian army at Versailles we have special
letter. in which the writer describes Paris
outside the Notifications, taking Meudon aa
his standpoint. This despatch presents the
panorama of the siege, a very beautiful and
elegant one, no doubt, to the Prussian sol
diers, but one which serves to assure the
world still more cmphatically Of the rapidly
approaching municipal doom Of Paris-the
coming Of the dies ire to its metropolitan en-
joyments.

BURLEsoUING GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS. There
scarcely ever was great achievement in
literature, art, diplomacy, the drama, music,
science or war, that did not have its clever
burlesque. Punch has done more to immor-
talize British statesmen than their heavy
speeches or long winded dispatches could
ever accomplish. The late Paris Cha75Da71
helped to mislead the French by ridiculing the
Prussians. The Berlin KJ00der0otsch was a
potent auxiliary in arousing Prussian enthusi-
assn and in breeding contempt for the French.
TIE FiscAietto, in Florence, aided with its pun
gent illustrations and satire in bringing about
the present state Of things in Italy. Therefore
the world is much indebted to the funny pa
pers for many of the most extraordinary
changes in dynasties and governments that
this age has witnessed. 1t is in view of these
facts that we express ourselves highly compli-
mented with the admirable burlesque of the
HERALD correspondents interview with the
Emperor Napoleon, which appeared in the
World of yesterday. 1t was more than clever
it was superb. The World may well claim
the laurel of being the 'Punch of America"
mar excellence.

MORE HELP FOR CuBA.-The latest news
from Port au Prince announces that a schooner
and q steamer recently touched at Curacao,
worth of all kinds Of arms and large guam
lily of ammunition. The belief is that the
vessels are Cuban craft and that the wal
material is intended for the Cuban insurgents.
General Quesada is supposed to accompany
the expedition. Ii the news proves as stated
il is evident that the Cubans have proited by
repeated failures and by this time know the
value of secrecy. Silence is good ally in
most cases of this nature.
