Paul II. Du ChaiIIu Receives tho Medal Of
the Imperial Geographical Society Of
Paris.
The hall Of the Geographical and Statistical So
ciety was filed to overlooking last evening to listen
TO paper on Equatorial Africa" by the Rev. Dr.
Bushnell, OF the African Mission, and to witness the
presentation of q gold medal to Mr.. p. b. Du Chailu.
which was recently forwarded for the purpose by
the Imperial Geographical Society OF Paris.
The medal was presented by the secretary Of the
New York society, and bore the following tnsorip,
tion:--"Soctete de Geographic FOade d Parts en-
1s24-A Paul Du CAaillu pour les ropages. 0u pGys
des Ac1dngos, 1S6S-1S64.'
Mr. Dn Chliilu, on receiving the medal, said thas
he felt there were other travellers more worthy than
he but accepted II as an earnest that the Imperial
Society appreciated labOrs OF travellers the world
over. He had been doubted, but remained silent.
Truth would vnd1cat, ITSELF He had proved by
astronomical calculations that he had penetrated
further into Equatorial Africa than his doubters ever
dreamed oil. He was repaid, however, for all his
trials by the kind faces OF friends about him.
I. Bailey Myers delivered q touching eulOgium on
the character OF the late General G0lcOuria in pre-
senting to the society an engraving taken from the
Palace OF the Escurial during the Pentnsuiar war.
Mr.. Du Chaillu aso paid trloute to the character
OF Dr. Bushnell and his estimable lady, referring TO
their residence in Africa, and claimed that the ma
tves OF the West Coast were superior 10 the slaves
OF the South.

ENGLAND, GREECE AND THE EAsT-Cable
kilograms from London and Vienna inform us
that Great Britain is about to investigate the
circumstances attending the late murders of
her subjects by special commission. This is
right, proper and honorably national. John
Bull is also, as we are told from Austria, about
to constitute himself the grand police officer Of
the East, and in that capacity 'sclear Greece
Of brigands,' providing that King George
makes temporary" abdication. This is se-
rious. There are no instances Of temporary
abdications nowadays. A king out Of sight is
king out Of mind. The Eastern question is
looming up darkly. England once in Athens
would be great power on grand pivot, with
a fulcrum and leverage almost irresistible on
either side.

A significant Dinner ut the White House.

General Grant gave dinner yesterday
which, initsway, exhibits knowledge of diplo-
macy that is highly creditable to so young
student of that intricate branch Of political
economy. He counted among his guests, be-
sides the leading lights of the administration
party and the prominent foreign ministers, Mr..
Thomas Ewing, Jr., a war democrat who at
present opposes the administrations policy
Mr.. Frank p Blair, the old gentleman of the
family, who, believing, as he does, in the
infalIibiIity of Frank, Jr.. is certainly
no intimate friend Of the. adminis-
tration; Mrs. Blair, his wife, and Mr..
W. W. Corcoran, the banker, who has q
decided rebel record, and who so far as heard
from, is not supporter of the present party
In power. These unusual elements were sand
wiched between glittering array Of army and
naval officers Of undoubted administration
bias the vice-President, Secretary of State
and the Prussan and English Ministers and
their wives. The President shows, if we may
judge from this dinner-and dinners are among
the most important elements in diplomacy-that
he is disposed to negotiate national peace, and
to use his best efforts to harmonize the little
differences that partisan excesses may have oc-
casioned. With every bit Of good cheer that
his honest opponents may eat at his board
profounder respect for his qualities as man
is apt to enter their souls, and with every
diplomatic master-stroke like the present a
profounder regard for his political skill is apt
to be engendered. We must remember that
dinners, wisely administered, secured to Eng
land the mock Alabama claims treaty that
Reverdy Johnson negotiated, and that, later,
little luncheon almost drove worthy pastor
from his pulpit and we must not treat this
palatable peace-offering Of the President as
anything less significant than happy over
ture for peaceful blending of discordant ele-
ments.

scopic Society was held last evening at 81 Madison
avenue, Dr. John II. Hinton in the char, there being
a numerous attendance Of members. DR.. Wander

interesting descriptions. The first was an instru-

an object could be passed In review under The lens;

subject OF the existence Of microscopic germs

Congress Yesterday.

The tariff question came up in the Senate
yesterday in a shape that ought to warn men,
bers of the House to rub up their treaty stipu-
lations before they 60 on with the new bill.
Mr.. Williams reported bill to refund certain
duties on hemp to the Russian government
because the duty of forty dollars per ton i'm
posed was in violation of certain treaty with
that Power. It would be sore accumulation
of evils IT, In addition to the general
uselessness Of the Tariff bill now under consid-
Grafton in the House, we should find 1t liable
to get us into difficulties with our best friends.
The Army bill of Senator Wilson was taken up
and read. 1t provides for the reduction Of
the army to $4,000 men. The Legislative
Appropriation bill was discussed far into the
evening session. An appropriation to build a
new State Department caused general debate
relative to the removal of the Capital.
In the House the Northern Pacific Railroad
bill was taken up, and Mr.. Wheeler, who is
engineering the movement, attempted to press
it to vote without permitting any amend
ments to be offered by the opponents of the
measure. The plucky minority would not sub
NIT to this, and passed the entire day in fiji.
clustering to prevent the passage of the bill.
1t is probable this method will continue un-
less the friends of the bill consent to the de-
mands of the minority until next Monday,
when, under the rules, an amendment can be
made without universal consent.

The Great Prize fight.

The great prize fight between Mace and
Allen was decided yesterday with scientific
rapidity. There are mainly two kinds of prize
fights There is the brutal mill, in which two
evenIy-matched fellows, with no other qualin-
cations than weight and endurance, pound
each other for hours, till the semblance Of
humanity is lost, and finally win or lose by
some accident of the horrible game. This is
the sort Of prize fight with which our public
is most familiar, and it is this species of fight
that has disgusted the public with the sport.
But the other sort is widely different. In this
the fight Is less contest Of power and endur-
ance than Of true boxing science. The COM
bat turns on such points as quickness Of eye
and the lightning-like rapidity Of delivery and
defence-turns, indeed, on points that so
clearly involve intellectual operations as to
raise the combat from its brutal character.
The fight between Mace and Allen was of
this sort, and the superiority Of Mace was so
account as an antagonist. Although weight
and age were both against Mace, yet he won
with the utmost ease and with every
thing to spare. His easy victory will,
perhaps, open the eyes of our domes-
tic prize fighters to the humiliating
fact that they are at best mere brutal bIunder-
ers; for previous to this fight Allen was looked
upon among them as star of the first mag
nitude; and yet how easily this star is pushed
from It's place! Is it too much to hope that
when our cultivators of this sport discover how
far they lag in the rear of real science they
will abandon it in despair and turn their atten-
tion to dog fighting, or thimble-rigging or some
moderately Objectionable occupation of that
sort? They ought to do this. They evidently
cannot fight when tried by good standards, and
they ought to do something that they can do WELL
We conceive this to be patriotic duty on their
part.

foundations Of society. The Oneida COM
munity, where men and women are common
to each other according TO their desires or
"adanities," carry this beastly doctrine out to
Its logical results. The men and women who
bavs figured prominently In the Richardson
mcfarland case entertain similar notions,
though they do not avow them 50 openly or
carry them quite so far in practice. But II
we mistake not these free lovers have
received such blow through the develop
ments Of the Mcfarland trial that they will not
raise their heads again very soon. The 7rs-
bWns establishment and set will take, proba-
bly,, some new start or ism after this. Fear
full as the Richardson Nc Farland tragedy has
been, it may produce some good in checking
the free love tendencies of the times. The
conclusion Of McFarland's trial was marked by
scene that showed the moral sense and feel
ing of the public. There was breathless sus-
pense during the two hours the jury was out,
and the most intense anxiety when it was
called upon for the verdict. Instantly that
verdict, 'sNot guilty, was pronounced both
men and women rushed to embrace Mcfarland,
and the applause that followed was vociterous
and prolonged. Such was the end OF the
Mcfarland trial. Such was the verdict Of the
public against the free lovers.

The Pishiscite and tho Large Cities Of

=, Fraaes. - W w
The voting on the ple6iscits In the large
cities was, 80 far a. we know the facts, against
the Emperor. Paris cast Ill, 1868 votes in
favor Of the p'eotscito, aud l56, ,S76 against 1t;
Nantes, yeas Ss,sl6, nays Ia, ,sss; MarssiIIes,
yeas 1912, nays 84,S29; Bordeaux, yeas
1927, nays lS,469; Toulouse, yeas 9l2,
nays 1884. In one sense this looks bad
But when we take into account the fact that
the cities are the centres to which the dis
affected Of all classes flock, the majorities in
the cities above named do not amount to
much. It is, in our judgment, good evidence
that the voters enjoyed perfect liberty. In
view Of the grand result and while we wait
for further details, the majority Of negative
votes in the cities cannot be taken as any
good proof that the intelligence Of France is
against the empire. Time was when Paris
was France. because Paris was followed by
the other cities. But France exists now
under new conditions. The railroad and the
telegraph have made the peasant q power.
Let any one compare the past votes on
ptebsscstes with the votes on this last, and he
will see how completely France is changed. The
peasants now do vote. In former times 1t was
next to impossible for one-third of them to
reach the polling booth. The Se,satus Consul
tuns OF the year x. when submitted TO the peo-
pie, called forth over three millions of yeas
and only slightly over nine thousand nays.
That Of the year XIII was responded to by
some three millions Of yeas and only two hun
dred nays. In 1915 the whole French vote
was under two millions. In 1852 the whole
vote was some eight millions, thus showing
how the nation had leaped forward in the
interval. The peasantry had already come
into the foreground. Seven millions against
two millions-whatever may be said of the
cities-is sound, solid vote, which justifes
the empire. If France is allowed to vote with
out restraint or compulsion it is nobody's
business whether France votes for the empire,
or for republic or for the Bourbons. That
which concerns us as free people is not for
whom France has voted, but whether France
actually enjoys the priceless boon Of freedom
of election. With the facts now before us we
have no good reason to say she has not. On
the contrary, we have every reason to say she
has.

THE RAINY SEASON OF MAY is fairly upon
us, and the woodland districts on Long Island
and up the Hudson which have been suffering
heavily from drought and fire will be thank
full for the blessed rain. Throughout the coun-
try the rains Of May, with destructive hail
storm, hurricane or freshet here and there,
may still be said to be worth their weight in
gold, looking to the yearly subsistence and
agricultural exports of our forty millions of
people.

Tho I,thmus of Darien Exploring Rxpe.,i,

The Isthmus Of Darien Exploring Expedition.
Our correspondence from the Darien ex-
ploring expedition published this morn
ing is interesting. Careful and ac-
curate surveys having demonstrated the
impracticability of the Caledonia Bay and
Sassardi routes for the construction of a
ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, the
expedition had gone to San Bias, from which
harbor our correspondent wrote. Contrary to
what has been said and written, this route,
from San Bias on the Caribbean Sea to the
river Bayamo on the Gulf Of Panama, Pacific
side, has never been accurately explored,
previous exploring parties having gone out
unprovided with the means Of overcoming the
natural obstacles which present themselves
and Of oYerawing hostile Indians. The pre-
sent expedition, under Commander Selfridge,
being amply provided with everything neces-
sary to insure success, we expect q thorough
exploration Of the route, which, we are glad to
learn, gives promise of greater practicability
than the two already examined Already the
explorers have effected much good. They
have performed an immense amount of work
in surveying the Cordilleras from Caledonia Bay
to Sassardi. On their return to the United
States the government will doubtless publish
the results Of their labors and place before the
public the first accurate maps of the sthmus.
We shall await Intelligence of the expedition
from San Bias to the Bayamo river with
anxious interest
