THE FRENCH AND PRUSIAN CRISI

THE FRENCH AND PRUSSI1N CRISIS.
There remains little doubt that France
means to oppose the elevation of a German
Prince to the Spanish throne. The French
Foreign Minister yesterday officially announced
to the Corps Legislatif that France would not
permit German Power, meaning Prussia, OF
course, since there is no longer any German
Power, to place one of its own princes-even
though he be blood relation of the Emperor
NapOleOn-on the Spanish throne. Royal blood
in Europe is not much thicker than water,
especially when it is the blood of a Bonaparte;
and Napoleon, who knows this as well as any
man in Europe, is not prepared to trust to his
relationship to the proposed HOhenzOlern-
uncle or nephew, it does not yet appear which,
to counterfeit the influences of political in
trigues and alliances which Bismarck may
concoct Hence he has theoretically opposed
the choice of German prince.
And it now appears that as that design has
been persisted in by Prussia and by Prim, Ma
poleon as theoretically acts to prevent its con-
summation. On Tuesday the Prussian Minis
ter was served with a note by Minister Oil
vier, which the Geographic dispatch describes
as firm and energetic, and which subsequent
events leave no room to doubt was a protest
against the evident design of Prussia On the
same day the Prussian Minister left Paris. On
Wednesday the French Minister was recalled
from Berlin. 1t appears that the former left
for the purpose of conveying the note of the
French Minister to the Prussian monarch at
Ems, and it does not appear that the French
Minister was recalled preparatory to actual
hostile operations. But the indications clearly
point to an immediate suspension of the peace
full relations between the two countries. There
would seem at first to be no great
danger that the two Powers would pre-
cipitate war on question of this
seeming insigDifcance, but we must not over
look the fact that the Rhenish frontier and
other disputes yet remain unsettled, or at least
are only temporarily arranged, to the evident
dissatisfaction of Napoleon. Further and more
definite news may dissipate, as we hope, the
present warlike aspect, but it is vain to attempt
TO conceal that the peace of Europe is seriously
threatened by what was at first an apparently
insignificant intrigue.

THE ENEMIES OF NEW- YORK.

We publish this morning table of distances,
fares and trains on the principal suburban
railroads, which confirms in a striking manner
what we have several times said about the
mischief that certain powerful companies are
doing in blocking up the natural outlets from
New-York City to the rural districts on the
north of us. In Westchester County we have
an abundance Of superb sites for country
homes, where the business men of New-York
might find rest and health after the exhaust
ing labors of the rcity; but the exactions of
the Harlem and Hudson River Railroad
Companies cut US oil from the adj

OPPOSITION TO MONOPOLY.

The determination on the part of the COM
pany that now controls the cables between the
United States and Cuba, not to abate its ex-
Orbitant tariff, has at last aroused an equal
determination of our philosophical citizen,
Mr.. Cyrus w. Field, to break up their monop-
oily. To this end he is about to bring before
Congress memorial stating the facts in the
case, and offering himself to establish line
of cables between Florida and Cuba, if he
can obtain the requisite authority. In that
case, he will substitute for the present tariff
of "a in gold and So for European messages,
q uniform tariff of 81 in gold and 10 cents for
each additional word.
1t is true, unfortunately, that the Govern
ment has given a monopoly for IA years
to the present Cuban Cable Company.
But Congress reserved the power to
alter or repeal the charter. 1t is
high time to repeal it when, as now, it is
made the means of an extOrtiOn contrary to
its fair intent Chartered mOnOpOles are Op-
posed to the policy and character of our Gov
eminent, and it will be difficult to perpetuate
this one while Mr.. Field proposes by abolish
ing it to save to the public at least $4,000
a year. The Cuban Company has been called
upon for fair dealing and has obstinately re-
fused either to charge fair rates or to assess
its exOrbitant rates impartially. Now let it
take the consequences.

shown to put off abolition of Slavery but in
strong, brief terms he denounces the military
despotism which has been maintained in Cuba.
1t will be remembered that the Cortes, while
applauding the eloquent words, did not heed
the powerful arguments of Senior CASTELAR,
But his speech has had wide and good influ-
ence throughout Spain, as the language of the
press of the country indicates. We give also
extracts (which show the freedom and the bit
terness with which the Spanish press condemns
the tyranny of De Rodas in Cuba.

The guilt of the accused officers of the Anti
Gambling Society has not yet been fully estab
lished, and we have no wish to prejudice their
cases; but it is clear from the evidence of Mr..
Hecht that they endeavored to obtain the dis
charge of one of his clerks upon charges which
had no foundation in truth. They failed in
this case because Mr.. Hecht, in justice to his
clerk, revealed the charges to him, and gave
him an opportunity to disproye them. But how
many other clerks, under similarly false charges,
have been dismissed by their employers without
explanation or a chance to justify themselves
The employer who dismisses a clerk or servant
upon suspicion, without afiording him defense,
commits an of1ense as heinOus as that of a
Judge who condemns a culprit unheard. 1t is
a mock delicacy which prompts merchant to
conceal from an accused clerk the ofIense with
which he is charged, and such secrecy results
in injustice whose evil effect cannot be esti-
mated. And yet we are forced to believe that
this shameful practice is all too general among
our business men.

4 NEW KING HEROD.

The English Saturday Review is on the war
path again. 1t has Thuggish taste for
slaughter, and thrives by what it feeds on,
The RerieU has pushed itself into notice
among respectable journals lately by the same
means that the famous Jim SahOnstall used
among Arkansas gentlemen of the ring jim
never engaged in fair stand-up fight, but
"soshed around" giving to friend and foe o
taste of his bOwie-knife in the back. Physi-
clans hint that there is some truth in the old
story of maggot on the brain, which pro-
duces diseases in certain animals and men,
accompanied with chronic i'll temper and
virulence beyond their control. The case of
the leaders of The Reriew is pitiable enough if
this be true, but there are limits to our pa
thence and pity for them. The cynical school
to which it belongs we know usually expends
its venom on those who cannot strike back.
The ReDiew has fought nobody but women for
year or two, which was cowardly enough /;
but when it attacks the babies, it is striking
a little too foul. Hands off gentlemen! The
game is too small for even The Reuiew.
There is nothing, it is true, which is such a
drug in the English market just now as babies
The matter IL not one for testing; the excess

We rejoice at the prompt action of the
House in the case of the British vessels ile-
gally seized by United States cruisers and
ordered to be restored by the Courts. The
restoration of these vessels may not in one
sense be an act of justice due to Great Britain,
but it certainly is due to ourselves. The fact
that England ignores the just claims of the
United States will not justify US in like wrong
doing in retaliation. Our claims are rather
strengthened by these acts, which practically
illustrate the justice we have ever protested.

1t was urged yesterday that the employ
ment of the voting apparatus which it was
proposed to place in the House Of Representa-
tiyes would not only save much time in taking
the yeas and nays, but curtail the power OF
the "filibusterers." And yet the resolution
adopting this electric apparatus was lost. The
majority of the House evidently shared the
idea of the doubling Mr.. Dickey OF Illinois,
who pronounced the thing a humbug'"

1t is unfortunate that the question OF the
late New-York appointments, already suffi-
GENTLY embarrassing, should be still further
complicated by the general sense of the injus-
tice done Gen. Merritt. He is removed on no
charge, and without a complaint, for no con-
ceivable reason, save that his place was
wanted. His friends, under these circum-
stances, are not likely to submit without a
struggle. They claim that he has administered
his office with impartial justice towards
the different wings and factions OF
the party; that he has been most com
petent and successful officer; and that it is
poor way of advancing the interests of the
civil service to remove such man, against
whom no complaint is urged, merely to make
room for a man whose career has been
marked by continual succession of COM
plants. If the desire of the Administration
for Civil Service bill was as earnest as it
has seemed, and as we have been glad to
believe it, the misfortune of giving our OppO-
nents such an opportunity to contrast our
precepts with our practice is apparent.

Castellar's speech in the Spanish Cortes ad-
yocating the immediate abolition of Slavery in
the Spanish colonies, which we publish this
morning sets forth more clearly than any other
document that has of late proceeded from that
body, or country, the relative positions Of
Spanish political parties not only on this ques-
ton but on the general colonial policy of Spain.

which the revolution of 1868 has been con-

The date of the dispatch announcing that
the Indians are bent upon a war makes all
that follows suspicious. More than half the

The Conference Committee on the Currency
bill has resolved to increase the amount of the
new issue from forty-fve to tifty-four mil
lions, and the House win have to content itself
with what its infationists will doubtless
grumble at as no expansion at all. Let us
hope that it is all they are to get. The cur
Eency is ample enough for all legitimate bust
ness. It's expansion is an encouragement only
TO speculative enterprises.

The River and Harbor Appropriation bill has
been loaded down in the Senate with amend
ments which threaten to defeat or at least de-
lay it on its return to the House. There are
some appropriations in the bill which ought
not to be lost, and good many others which
ought not to be made We don 7 know but
that the latter outweigh the others, and that
disagreement on the bill will result IN saving
TO the Treasury. At present the absurd de-
mand of the several sections for equal allow

defeat good and bad measures allke.'

Probably never before in the whole history of

deeply upon the confidence of mankind as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints
Through = long series Of years, and among most
of the races Of men it has risen higher and higher
IN their estmatioa, as has become better known
Its uniform character and power TO cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made IT known as reliable protector against
them. While adapted TO milder forms of disease
and TO young children, it is at the same time the
most etectnal remedy that can be given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
OF the throat and lungs. AS provision against
sudden attacks Of Group. il should be kept on
hand IN every family, and indeed as al are some
times subject TO colds and coughs, ali should be
provided with this antidote FOR them
Although settled ConsltnspsiOR is thought IN
durable, still great numbers of cases where th,
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored TO SOUND health
by the Cherry PecfOr0I. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and

When nothing else could reach them, under the
