CoNGRATULAToRY.- hardy adventurers
who are occupying eligible sites on the west
side of Eighth avenue, opposite the Park, are
congratulating themselves, as the late venera-
BILE General Cass once did in the United States
Senate, upon the triumph Of 'squatter sove-
reirnty" in the local government of this city.

A DIFFERENCE. There is slight difference
between the modes in which students in prac-
dispose of the bones and other debris of their
subjects. In New York they are Theoretically
walled up, so that no offensive odor from de-
composition reaches outsiders; in Chicago
they are placed in open garrets, to be used as
disinfectants against the ordinarily morally
offensive atmosphere Of the Western metropo-
Lis. That is what the Western students
facetiousiy term ''attic salt"

Tho Drought In Europe.

We have the news of the prevalence of disas-
trous drought in Europe, extending from France
eastwardly an indefinite distance, perhaps
even to the confines of Asia, or beyond them,
for have they not been suffering terribly from
drought in the Holy Land? The unusual con-
sequences Of drought in Europe-destructiv
fires in the woods-are reported in many dis
tricts, the beautiful forest Of Fontainbleau hav-
ing suffered from an extensive burning yester-
day, Notwithstanding the activity of the dense
population around it in the good work of ex-
tinguishing the flames. We have had this
side the Atlantic, on Long Island and in the
central and northern parts Of this State, and in
various districts in Canada East and West,
and as far West as the Winnipeg country, very
destructive fires in the woods this season, and
the most destructive of all among those splen-
did forests of gigantic pines and cedars on the
Pacific side, in Washington Territory and
British Columbia-facts which go to show that
the dry spring season of this year has probably
extended over the same degrees of north lati-
tude entirely round the globe.
II such has been and is the case, and If this
general drought should continue even month
or SO longer, it will entail vast amount Of
suffering upon the people of France and Gen.
trail Europe, and cut short our expectations of
breadstuffs from this years productions.
We still expect, however, over all this
dry northern belt supply of rains
sufficient to save the years growing crops !;
for we think these life giving and life-saving
rains are even now coming on. Since the gen.
| eral introduction of the electric telegraphs by
land and sea this subject of the rain supply
in all the populous parts of the earth is be-
coming exceedingly interesting and impor-
tant We are satisfied. too, that although
science cannot control the weather, it can do
an immense amount of good in disclosing the
laws and movements Of storms, and in provid-
| ing to great extent against the disasters OF
| foods and droughts. We therefore repeat
our opinion, that the government at Washing
ton, in providing for the establishment of an
extensive telegraphic system Of weather re-
ports by land and sea will be doing good
work for the country and for the world at large.

Nor SATIsFIED.-The Albany Argus-
democratic-only wants an honest election
throughout the State next fall, as was had last
year, for the democrats ''to carry the State
and the Congressional districts within it by
even larger majorities than those of last
month For democratic organ in this State
not to be satisfied with nearly ninety thousand
majority exhibits greediness rarely paral-
leled in political voracity. A Boston demo-
cratic paper is satisfied to take New York as
''fulcrum" with which to move the whole
country into the democratic ranks; but it
seems it's Albany contemporary, not content
with the present plethora, is crying for "fuA
crumbs" vf another sort.

A PLACE FOR RUSTY RADICAL NEEDLES

The New York herald., 1870-06-08

The BROOKLYN RINe.-Roughs and rowdies,
pothouse politicians and strikers, repeaters
and election counters, with two subsidized
local journals, copperhead and radical,
make up the ring that now has complete
possession of the swindled sainted city on the
other side of the East river. Only few
years ago Brooklyn promised to become an
ornament to the State and to the country and
a quiet resting place for the traders of the
metropolis. 1t is now, however, with taxes
unbearable, expenses increasing and credit
destroyed, fast sinking into decay, and all for
the lack of honesty in the administration Of its
affairs. The Mayor tells the story, and ad-
monishes the citizens of their rapid retro
gradation from their former excellence, and
he calls upon them to awake to sense of their
deplorable condition before it is too late. If
ever there was city incapable of governing
itself Brooklyn is that place.

A WASHINGTON RIoT-ALL ABOUT MOTH
ING.-The late election riot in Washington
shows that the national capital can make itself
as famous in this line as New York was accus-
toned to be in the days of its unsophisticated
and untutored youth. We conduct our elections
here now without any trouble. The fifteenth
amendment goes smilingly to the polls and
returns unharmed. Although there are always
candidates of different parties on the tickets
people can vote for their choice without get
ting broken heads or joining in a, row. The
election riot in Washington, however, which
was rather serious affair-shooting and club
bing and bloodshed being in the programme
was all about nothing, for both candidates for
Mayor were republicans. 1t was, therefore,
more of faction than respectable party
fight, and, upon the whole, was very silly
proceeding indeed

Tho Now French Minister to Washington.
By cable despatch we learn that N. Pre-
vost- Paradol has been appointed French Min
lister TO Washington. We are glad to learn
that In this particular case rumor has taken
the shape of fact. Among all living French
statesmen there Is no more respectable name
than that of M. Provost Paradol. Paradol is
yet young man, having been born In 1929.
In 1851 his ''Eloge de Bernardin Saint Pierre"
won the prize of the French Academy. Dur
ing all the years that have intervened from
that time until now he has been reaping honors.
His books have been coming out every
year and each successive book has more and
more commanded respect During the time
that Louis Napoleon has governed France he
has sometimes won favor and sometimes SUI
fered. On one occasion he suffered one
mouths imprisonment and paid besides one
thousand francs. But all through he has been
one of those men who, not overmuch bound to
party, saw good in all great public movements.
He has never, in consequence, been a violent
party man. Frenchman every inch of him,
he loves progress; and forcefully as he
bounds forward, he never despises steady and
consistent advancement. 1t is only two win
ters since M. Provost Paradol delivered q
course of lectures on France before the
Philosophic Institute Of Edinburg On that
occasion, though Frenchman, he spoke good
English, and his sentiments as well as his
language commanded general respect. M.
Provost Paradol is one of the best thinkers
and writer's that the second empire can boast
of. In addition to his many excellencies be
speaks good English. This last is good
recommendation for Washington. On the
whole we welcome NJ. Provost Paradol as the
best man possible for Washington. Our new
French Minister is scholar, a philosopher
and gentleman. What more do we want?
One Frenchman, De Tocqueville, has photo
graphed the United States as he saw them.
His picture is the best that we know. Much,
however, as we admire De Tocqueville, We
shall not be sorry if M. Provost -Paradol i'm
proves upon his predecessor and establishes
the opinion that scholarly Frenchmen are the
best commentators on American institutions
Aside from all our remarks we rejoice to know
that a highly educated and politically mode
rate Frenchman, who fuently speaks the Eng
lish language, has been sent to Washington.
M. Provost ParadOl has our good wishes.

THE CUBAN LADIES AND THE CUBAN
LoUNGERs.-The dark-eyed daughters of Cuba
resident in this city are indignant with the
dark-skinned gentlemen of the same national
ity who, they assert. talk Cuba" around the
hotels and street corners, but refuse to fight
Spain on the sacred soil of the no longer
''fathful ISLE" So, it appears, the ladies are
going to take the matter into their own hands.
They protest that if the male ''patriots" now
lounging about the city and worrying the news
papers do not 60 to Cuba to fight, they will
form an Amazonian band and throw themselves
into the breach. The Spirit Of the Maid of
Saragossa speaks in this determination. But
the Cuban ladies, while they reserve this war
like measure as dernier resort, have under
taken the more womanly movement Of estab-
fishing fair and getting up dramatic enter
tainment for the purpose of raising funds to
help their unfortunate country. We wish the
fair and the theatrical performance every sue
cess.

FIRST ARRIVAL OF COOLIES DIRECT FROM
Hone KONG-A vessel has arrived at New
Orleans direct from Hong Kong, bringing a
cargo of one hundred and sixty-seven coolies.
This is the first lot of this class of laborers
received by the through sea route under
the plan of labor importation arranged
last fall by Koopmanschap. While some
Southern papers are indulging in gloomy fore
bodings in regard to this class of immigrants
it is source of satisfaction to see respectable
prints like the New Orleans Commercial BaII-
ietin referring to this arrival in terms like the
following -
Let these Chinese strangers be dealt with kindly
and considerably. Put away unchartable thoughts
about their being pagans. Put away supercilfou5
notions about their being barbaftans. Heaven knows
their paganism whatever its forms, can hardly be,
tous than the kind Of pagansm already rank IN this
country and which consists IN various fashions OF
goddess life and sentiment on the one hand, and In
various modes Of fetichsm or v0udOuism on the
other
1t is hoped that this pioneer voyage may
prove to be one marked by agreeable and pro-
fitable results to all parties. The cry of the
South about the coolies should be 'Let them
come on" We are getting nearer and nearer
to the land Of Confucius every day.

Cousress-Tbe Previous Question in thu
Senate and Contested Elections In the

Cougress-Tbe Previous Question I'm ths
Senate and Contested Elections In tho
House.
Among the important discussions going on Ia
the Senate is one on proposed amendment Of
the rules so as to allow the calling of the pre-.
vious question. To an unparliamentary reades
the importance of this measure may not be
patent at first but It in effect will, II carried,
put stop to the long and useless discussions
that have heretofore been characteristic Of the
Senate. In the House, where the previous
question is in operation, vote can be ordered
at almost any moment during debate, but
in the Senate it Is seldom that
vote can be taken until everybody
has had his say or each member is
thoroughly Indifferent to the subject. The
question as to which method is preferable is
not easily solved. Under the spur Of the
previous question many Infamous bills are
smuggled undebated through the House, and
without it much valuable time is wasted in
senseless discussion in the Senate. The
difference, therefore, is merely that between
tweedle dunn and tweedle dee in regard Of
uOuesty anu cCouoWy oAu 40 Oosn nVuoOS
are sometimes inclined to smuggle through
infamous bills, with or without debate, we
rather incline to favor the previous question as
means, small as it is, Of saving time and,
therefore, money. The Indian Appropriation
bill was again discussed without final action.
The bill in the House relative to paying
compensation to members in contested election
cases was further considered, and laid on the
table, by vote Of 80 to 80. This defeats the
bill and delays for the present much needed
reform. The contested election cases will most
probably be decided as before, by prejudiced
jury, in favor of radical contestants against
democratic, contrary to the will of constituent
cies and in most cases contrary to the sworn
evidence. Any jury composed of men outside
of Congress would find itself severely repri-
manded by the Judge if it rendered single
verdict one half so partial and corrupt as the
decision in some of the Louisiana cases. Mr..
Garfield's bill for increased banking facilities
was taken up, and Mr.. Garfield made speech
in explanation of 1t. He said, among other
things, that it was not more currency that was
needed, but more banks. General debate en-
sued on the bill, but no important action was
taken.
