We may be happy yet, though the odds are
against us. That is, divers influential parties
have made a dead set at Mr.. Gilmore, and are
busily persuading him to "take his Interna-
tional Jubilee to New-York" with all his
German, French, and other foreign fddlers.
We need more confidence than we can posi-
bly, muster at short notice to enable us to
join in this request. 1t will be at least FIVE
and-twenty years before we shall get over the
modification of the dreadful jubilee through
which we lately struggled. Boston was Mr..
Gilmores first love, and nothing has occurred
here to shake his fidelity to that august and
infinitely sensible matron. No: we can beat
Boston in population, riots newspapers, and
theaters but when you come to Jubilees, we
mournfully feel that we are nowhere.

FRANCE md THE TREATY..

1t was not to be supposed that France in
any event, would acknowledge the secret treaty
proposed with Prussia, and we are consequently
not at all surprised that while England re-
ceives from one of her representatives on the
continent an assurance that the document
exists in Count Benedetti's handwriting, Earl
Granville is informed on the other hand by
the French Minister in London that the pro-
posal came not from France but from Prussia,
and was never seriously considered by either
party. Still there are some points in this case
which deserve particular attention. 1t is not
customary, we believe, for great nations to
draw up treaties of this kind without ascer-
tanning by previous negotiation that the main
points will be accepted; but this seems to be
a case in which one of the parties did act
without sufficient consultation with the other
and which of the two it was can hardly he
doubted. The treaty, it will be observed, would
have secured enormous advantages for France
and none at all for Prussia. Napoleon would
have been permitted to add 30 his dOminiOns
one entire kingdom, the half of another, and
certain valuable provinces of a third. None of
these coveted territories rightly belong b him,
either by the sympathies of their people, OF by
unity of race. He never could hope TO acquire
them except by open violence and at the
risk of a general Continental war. And what
did he offer Prussia IN returni Nothing but
permission to keep what she already held. AS
Prussia held her territories in spite of Napoleon,
and had no fear of his taking any of them
away from her, it was of course natural that
she should refuse the proposal OF partition
,pitbout n moments hesitation.
Tue publication Of thiS treaty is FOX France

"What act of despOtsm has Napoleon ever
committed" asks NewYork paper, (which
King William has not at least equaled, if not
exceeded, in Prussiaf" Well, this for one.
Being sworn to defend q Republican Govern
ment, he overturned it by military force, sub
jugated the whole of France by q horrible
massacre of hundreds-many say thousands
of unarmed and inoiiensive men and women,
and the summary imprisonment and exile of
the best citizens, and then made himself EN-
peror. The means by which he mounted to
the throne was wholesale murder, and no
political phraseology can make the crime any
less. What has King William done like this

We see il stated that Mr.. Whittemore, the

WHY has he for months neglected this pam

10 ORLLGE TIE REPEATERS.

II is whispered among the knowing Dem
ocratic politicians of this City that Mr. Tweed
has ordered the converting of his Legislature
in extra session by Governor Hoffman, with
instructions to change the time of election Tor
State and local officers and members OF the
LEGISLATURE to a different day from that on
which members of Congress are to be chosen.
The only perceptble object in thus saddling a
tax-ridden people with the large expense of an
extra session of the Legislature, and of two
elections throughout the State, instead
of one. is to avoid any impairment
interference with Tammany's " little games
for ballot-box stuiling false voting, and
false canvassing. Tammany feels that she
cannot afford to permit any outsiders, APP
pointed by act of Congress, to peer into and
possibly discover her peculiar modes OF con
Quoting elections. So far as the choice OF
Members of Congress and President is con-
cerncd, it will, perhaps, even under the imper-
feet law of Congress, be difficult to avoid
reasonable scrutiny into the mode of conduct
ing our elections. But Tammany seems de-
termined that this shall not be the case III
reference 10 State and local officers.
We shall soon see whether Gov. Hoffman
will think it advisable to obey the order of the
Grand Sachem. His action in the premises is
important, as it involves, to certain extent,
the question whether or not Messrs. Tweed,
Sweeny g. Co. shall in the future, as in the
immediate past, have the power to manufac
ture to order in this city and Brooklyn a suf
ficicnt number of votes to nullify the majority
of honest ballots cast in the remainder of the
State, however large that majority may be.
We have an indistinct recollection that
the Governor, on leaning the re-
suit of the last State election, prom
ised the people some wholesome reforms,
such as economical administration, honest leg
islation, fair elections, and other things very
desirable to have. The sum total of such re-
forms enacted by the present Legislature is
not percepdble to the naked eye. But the
Governor has the future before him, and may
yet at least attempt to fulfill some of his fair
promises. Time will tell whether in this case
he will, 10y refusing to call the Legislature to-
gether at the bidding of the conspira-
tors sustain movement tending to-
ward the purity of the ballOt-box, or whether,
by Obeying orders, he will give his official
sanction 10 systematic frauds which are une-
qualed in this country for their extent and
shameessness.

Crcat Dritan We felt even that there was something

According to this sort Of reasoning, the
oman who went down TO Jericho" ought to
have felt more cOmpacently toward the
picturesque thieves who fell upon him than
toward the good Samaritan who "bonnd up
"his wounds, pouring in oil and wine"
Our financial interests abroad would suffer
infinitely more in case Of German defeat than
from any other result Of the war. Germany
holds, according TO Secretary Boutwell's esti-
mate. nearly a thousand millions of dollars
worth of American bonds, and, if Germany
were Frustrated, which could not take place
without more than one, or two, or three battles,
the small holders of these bonds, as well as
the speculative holders, would be compelled to
surrender them. In France, on the other hand,
no apprecable amount of our bonds has ever
been taken, and they are not even quoted on
the lists of the Bourse. In this respect, there
fore, French disaster would not Affect us,
while the discontinue of Germany would cause
great detriment and mischief in this country.
An important contribution to the history
OF the French German War is new edition
OF q pamphlet entitled EE Candidate Official,
Just published at Madrid by an old Spanish
statesman, Eusebio of Salazar Mazaredo.
He openly states, in this pamphlet, that he is
the sole author of the whole plan OF placing
Prince Leopold of Hohenzollem upon the
Spanish throne, and then details the history OF
the plan with great minuteness. As Saazar Is
a member of the Liberal Union, the majority
of which party was in favor Of the Duke OF
Montpensier, lie was the ftteSt person to be
used as diplomatic agent in this affair. This
pamphlet disposes forever of the report that
the candidature of Prince Leopold originated
with King William or Count Bismarck.
One of the most respectable papers OF the
French press, the journal DIES DEFEATS, declares
in its issue OF the 10Th Of July that patriotism
cannot consist in raising without cause war
cry against a nation, in forgetting all regard
for it, and in supporting a ministry which
speaks in a solemn tone OF the greatness ana
the safety of France, while threatened by for
eign nations. The other independent papers
spoke in the same tone, clearly indicating that
at that time the course of the French Govem-
ment was not deemed just by the Liberals OF
France. The German papers of the same date
disbelieve in a war, because they think 1t lmpos-
sibe for great power to begin war without
even having a respectable preteXt.

Another little item Of $4,000 was appropri
ated yesterday by the Board of Health for
extra street-cleaning. Ii might not be needed,
it was said, but it would be convenient to
have the amount on hand in case it was.
There is no hope that it viii not be used i'll
some way. The provision authorizing extra
STRENGTHENING was slipped into the Tax Levy
for the express purpose of robbing the city in
detail, and most admirably is it answering the
purpose for which it was designed. Two hund-
red and fifty thousand dollars have now been
taken under pretense of extra cleaning, which,
with the sum paid under the contract makes
total of S75O,5O0 which we are paying for
the privilege of having our prominent thor
oughfares passably cleaned, and our by-ways
left in dangerously filthy condition.

without reason in this Shadrach-Meshach-A bed-

is statute against Sunday travelling, except
upon errands of necessity or charity, excur-
sion steamers were advertised to leave Boston
last Sunday for Lowell Island, Salem, Glou-
cester, Nahant Long Island, Nantasket, and
MinOt's Light. Even Boston meeting-houses,
we believe, in this tOrrid season, if not wholly
shut up, have mournfully scant congregations.
The police of Boston now allow the homeless

indulgence not accorded when the thermome-
ter is at all reasonable in its markings.

Napoleon is so prodigal just now of his
promises to the people of Germany, whom he
hopes to win over to his support that it may
not be amiss to recall the promises he made
some time ago when he appealed to the people
of France. In making his attempt at revo-
luton in 1910 he issued the following prOcla-
nation:
Iappear among you as warm and true Democrat
and Republican take the shadow Of the man OF the

That comparisons are not always odious is
proved by the Register of Records, who has
taken the trouble TO show us that while there
were 81 deaths from the effects of heat during
the past week, there were 14S from the same
cause in the corresponding week of 1868, and
2G6 in that of 1866. Drawing all possible com
fort from these statistics, which prove that
things are not so bad as they might be, there
is enough in the daily increasing casualties
from the heat to warn every one to use all
possible precautions against it.

public health shall suffer in consequence The
Health Board, we are glad TO observe, has
given instructions to the Sanitary Inspector
to permit no vessels from infected ports TO

examined and passed at quarantine. We hope
the rule will be stringcnty enforced during

The refusal of the Spanish Cortes to abolish
Slavery in the colonies of Cuba and Porto
Rico has been condemned as an act of imbe-
cility. 1t appears from the abstract of the
correspondence between Minister Sickles and
Secretary Fish that the failure resulted from
the treachery of Prim, who after committing
the Government to abolition, compromised
with the shareholders of Porto Rico on an act
of emancipation which defers the question
until the next century. But justice is not thus
easily put off by mans treachery, and the
abolition of Slavery in the Spanish colonies is
certain to come at an early hour.

The French fleet has sailed from CherbOurg,
and has passed through the English Channel,
destined for the Baltic. 1t is composed of
eight iron-clads, in two divisions, one Of
which is intended for operation on the west
coast of Schleswig, the other against the
Baltic ports. Following the second di-
vision, which sailed yesterday, were
transports conveying corps of 5000
men, sent to operate in Schleswig.
The French army has also moved from its
base at Metz The transfer of troops from
Strasbourg and the right of the French position
appears to have been rapid, and a concentra-
ton of the whole army on the Moselle River
near the border line may be considered as ac-
cOmplshed. The Emperor has left Paris for
the army. The corresponding movements of
the Prussans are not indicated by our dis
patches, further than limitations of the ex-
pected siege of Cologne, for which preparations
are making.
