will be in no mood 10 submit to
any Bonaparte. If royal Hgurehead should
still DO deemed necessity by tho French
people the chances will DO in favor of the
House of Orleans. II, however, Napoleon
should proclaim republic and freely leave it
not defeat, after all, be an actual gain to
France ? Is it inconceivable that another pie
6'scste should proclaim tho quondam Emperor
President Of the republic? If il be true that
the "Marseillaise" the national anthem it wonld
seem to encourage the idea that he is already
looking ahead, and that he is not unprepared
for some great popular conp d6tat. These, Of
course, are but speculaiions but wilder specu-
ations than these have become realities.
End this war when and how II may, we feel
satisfied that it will be found, in spite of its
promoters, to advance the popular cause. II
will shake the foundations OF thrones the wide
world over. When it has ended aud the smoke
has disappeared and the grass grows green
over the thousands slain, 1t will not, unless
we greatly mlscalculate, be so difficult as ii
mont of man, the federation of the world
one great all-embracing nationality, speaking
the same language and worshipping the same
God. Such is the future which lies before us,
and this war will not have been wholly In vain
IL 1t hasten on this desirable consnmmation.

A STRONG HINT FOR ENGLAND. "A some
what improbable rumor prevails in Philadel
pbia that secret agent Of the Irish Fenians.
arrived in that city on Thursday, bringing to
the brotherhood in this country assurances
that jn case England sides with Prussia during
the latter's war with France Napoleon has en-
gagged to invade Ireland with an army Of fifty
thousand men. The agent is endeavoring to
heal the differences which exist between the
several Fenian f,ctons in this country,
with view Of securing their aid in
the struggle which he thinks is soon to spring
up in Ireland. He gives the New York lead
ers the col. shoulder, and says their raids on
Canada were more than useless. and could not
possibly affect the liberation of Ireland. The
agent is correct in his opinion of New York
Fenans; more senseless body Of men never
undertook to control great movement, ana
none ever made more brilliant failures. Eng
land is too well aware OF the weakness of her
tenure in ireland to endanger it by seeking
quarrel with France, aud she will be doubly
careful to avoid entanging herself in the
Prussian imbrogio now that she is informed of
the alliance entered iuto between Napoleon
aud the Feuians.

Statistics

Navigation.

Navigation.
From the report of the Bureau of Statistics
at Washington just published, we learn that
for the eleven months ending May 81, 1870,
The exports to foreign countries amounted in
value to 1886, $40, I'll and the foreign imports
to $42l, 935,6l7. OF the imports there were
exported again 1927, 769,377. In tire exports
there Is included specie to the amount of
1888, 1874, 500. This is not very satisfactory
exhibit. The balance Of imports over exports,
including the export Of specie and bullion,
was largely against US, even after reckoning
the $27, 7G9,37 of exports of foreign goods.
Still this was an Improvement over the corre-
spending period of 1869, the year before
The imports for that period in 1869 amounted
to 1897. 66O,9l8 and The exports to
$500, 348,99l So we see that not only has
the foreign trade increased in 1870, but our
domestic exports were much larger and
approached nearer to the imports This is
healthy progress, though the balance Is still
against us. This balance has been paid by
our national securities exported to Europe.
Among the commodities exported raw cot
ton swells up to an enormous figure. The
value for the eleven months ending May 81,
1870, in specie, was $2l5, 49s, BOG. This
amounted to nearly three-ifths OF our entire
exports. Breadstuffs come next, which
amounted to $50, OF, 1861 provisions to
$26, 97l ,595; petroleum oil to $2S, O99, 939,
and gold and silver to $685. 1914 1893. A large
proportion of the balance OF trade against us
arises from the carrying trade being in the
hands of foreigners. Out of 8,270,6S tons of
shipping that were entered, 3, l56, SCI were
foreign and only Bib, S23 were American.
The foreign and American tonnage cleared was
nearly in the same proportion. The largest
item of Imports was that Of sugar and molasses
The amount was 500, 0S7. 100. This ought to
convince our government Of the Importance OF
acquiring the rich sugar producing countries
Of the West Indies on our border. We could
not only become independent of the rest OF the
world for sugar, but could have monopoly OF
this commodity for export az we now have OF
cotton.
Not less important or more important just
now, is 1t to increase our shipping and to get
larger share of the profits OF the carrying
trade. No more favorable opportunity could
have occurred to d. this than that afforded by
the war in Europe. There is large feet OF
splendid steamships besides sailing vessels
ready to be transferred to American owner

The Natihun Murder.

The Grand Jury, having completed all their
business yesterday were ready to be dis
charged, but Judge Bedford asked them 10
hold themselves in readiness to act at once
upon the case of the Nathan murderer, as he
had reason to believe that the arrest would
soon be made. We very much doubt it any
important arrest will ever be made in the
matter The investigation and the search
will end as the investigation of the Rogers
murder ended, without any proof on which to
hold or try anybody. Superintendent Jourdan
is very efficient officer, and has very efficient
aid in certain lines Of police business, but Of
the science of detection he and his aids are
almost wholly ignorant. To follow up the
traces of murderer as with the unerrlng scent
of sleuthhound does not belong to our detec-
tive system. There is too much of that '1Oud-
ness which affects fash clothes and snowy
breastpns to admit of much real work. There
is too much puffery in the newspapers, too
much speculation as TO what such detective
intends to do, and too little Of what he actually
does. There is no hope that our regular de-
tective police will ever unearth the foul MUIR
derer OF Mr. Nathan, and we would like for
Mayor Hall to set some keen-scented ferret OF
his own choosing on the track. There are GER
taiuly, somewhere in this city, detectives, pro-
fessional or otherwise, shrewd enough and
we'll educated enough to try the efficacy OK
science in the search II they are not already
sharp-witted enough the reward ought to
sharpen their wits considerably.
The POSTMASTER GENERAL finds himself 10
something of quandary In regard to tho
European mails. He does not know what
day the Cunard line may fail him, and no
authority is given him to despatch the mails
by naval vessels. He is anxious to contract
with American lines for the performance Of
this service; but, he says, all American COM
panies appear to think the government ought
to support the lines and the stockholders reap
oil the profits. Such a one sided bargain even
federal official declines to coasummpss, aud
consequently we will look in vaia Tor the
establishment OF line OF America0 steamers
between this port and Euyspe.

President Grant left Long Branch Thurs
day morning for brief visit to Washington.
After bis return he will make trip to st.
Louis, but wilt probably not be absent more
than week COnjectures are rife as to the
movements of the President. II is not
unlikely that these may be connected with a
wish, If not yet definite purpose, to call Con
tant date.
The aversion of Washington to entangling
alliances with foreign nations Is fully shared
by Grant. Nevertheless, he is keenly alive
to the overwhelming Importance of the contin-
gencies to which the critical situation OF
things in Europe may lead, directly as well as
indirectly affecting American interests in a
thousand complicated ways, if not, possibly,
at length involving even our republic in con-
fct the shock OF which must be felt through
out the world. At all events, we cannot but
approve the idea Of converting Congress for
the purpose OF celebrating as to how the
United States government stands in relation
to foreign governments. One of tho
IVtCucot uuttcS " u6utTa U8tlOu
Is, If il cannot prevent collision
between it's allies, at least to seek to mitigate
the horrors Of war. 1t should hold itself in
readiness to seize opportunities for encour-
aging the contestants to terminate their strife
as soon as possible. Especially is this true
when two such powerful nations as France and
Prussia engage, at this late hour in the history
of civilization, in a war which threatens to
prove the disgrace of the nineteenth century,
inasmuch as il may involve all European gov
ernments, spreading death and desolation
everywhere from the Baltic 10 the Mediter-
ranean. If it were only for the purpose of
rectifying the amazing blunder of Congress in
losing the golden opportunity afforded by the
President to restore our navy and our ship
ping interests to their former pre- eminence
and prosperity, special session would be de-
sirable. 1t is gratifying to know that Pres
dent Grant is daily receiving letters from
Congressman whose eyes are opening TO their
error in not giving heed to his suggestions in
reference to the naturalization OF foreign built

CONGRESSIONAL BUNGLING.-COngress, In
IFS insane desire to ''head off" the President
and its persistent refusal to relieve some of
the more important interests Of the country,
so complicated government matters as appa-
rently to leave President Grant no alternative
but to call an extra session of Congress.
Many of the laws enacted at the last session
are creating widespread confusion and embar-
rassment, and the neglect to pass any measure
for the relief of the commercial and shipping
interests is telling fearfuy upon all classes.
The law concerning unexpcnded balances
threatens to bring several departments to
staud5'il, unless its provisions can be evaded
or squarely violated, and this, too, when the
appropriations for the current year are more
than ample to meet all expenses until the end
Of the next session. Never before was such
bungling legislation known, and it is doubtful
whether the present Congress has the ability
to rectify it.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE AT
SARAToeA.-The ''black spirits and white,
blue spirits and gray" of the republican
party, who have just been at Saratoga, have
resolved to hold the State convention at the
Springs on the 7th proximo. The two politi =
cal rigals-Senators Conkling and Fenton-
were present, and both were honored with a
serenade from their respective admirers.
Though the breach in the party is not yet
effectually healed there is some reason to
believe that the discussions which threatened
at Que time to become serious will pass over.
The recent defeat of Senator Fenton is an
indication of disposition on the part Of lead
ny republicans to pursue more conserva-
I've policy in the management OF the politics
OF the State, aud this no doubt suggested to
the common practical sense OF the President
the appointment of Mr. Thomas Murphy as
Collector of the Port of this city. With a
new start, strong determination to harmo-
nize, and resolve to adopt more conserva-
tive policy than that formerly pursued, the
republican leaders believe they will be able
to stay the increasing democratic majorities
In this State.

our absurd and ruinous registry and nsvigs-
ton laws were abolished or suspended. Nis
hardly possible to calculate the amount OF ton
mage that would be added to our mercantile
marine, especially II the war should spread or
continue long In Europe. There would be.
undoubtedly, rapid and large increase OF
tonnage. Tho President saw this when tho
war news came from Europe, and wisely urged
congress to suspend the registry and navga-
ton laws. But that body had not the sense!
or patriotism to act upon his recommendation
Though some time has been lost, it is not too
late now to seize the advantage offered to
build up our depressed shipping interests and
to largely Increase our tonnage. We advise
the President, therefore, to call without DELAY
an extra session Of Congress for the purposs
Of considering our shipping and mercantile
interests in this crisis.

The HEALTH OF NAPOLEOE--a very i'm
portant question-cannOt be omitted from our
estimates of the probable issues Of this war.
The Emperor is getting old, his physical
strength is permanently impaired and hardly
equal to a lengthy campaign Of war, with all
its excitements, even as follower Of the army.
He needs rest of mind aud body, and the alb
eorbing responsibilities Of this war may over
tax his failing bodily strength and bring the
war to an accommodation when least expected.

PARIS, July 27.-During the absence of the
Emperor from the capital, the administration
will be guided in its policy by instructions
and orders prepared by the Emperor, and to
be inscribed in the book of state and made
known in the general orders of the service.
The Ministry will have cognizance Of the
Emperor's wishes and instructions, beyond
which the Empress will not be authorized
to proceed in any case in her capacity of re-
gent. The Empress will preside at the minis
terial councils, but will not have power to
p~romulgate any other laws than those now
pending before the legislative chambers.
PARIS, July 27.-The Journal Ofcid of
to-day says:-We have intelligence that a
rumor has been circulated on the other side
of the Rhine that the Emperor has given
orders that prisoners of war be treated with
the utmost rigor, and placed outside of the
protection of the law of nations. This report
is absurd, and SO far is it from being true
that the Emperor desires to treat prisoners
with the greatest humanity.
A circular from NJ. Olivier, citing the dis
cussion of the question in the Corps Legisla-
tiff, says that journals are only forbidden to
mention the movements Vi troops OF prepara-
tions for active operations. They have the
right to speak of the events of the war in the
light of accomplished facts. The Journal
adds, as a matter of duty, a reminder to all
persons that, by the terms of article seventy
seven of the penal code, any person giving
intelligence to the enemy of the movements
of the army, or giving aid in money to the
hostile forces, will be punished with death.
TheJourndl reminds non-political newspapers
that they are not entitled to print anything
relative to the war.
Another circular from the Prime Minister
calls upon the bishops to offer public prayers
to place France, her chief, and the noble in

under the protection of Him who holds in Hii
hands the fate of battles and the destinies Of
the people. At a time when our heroic army
