TIE New Chartsr-A Memorial from The
CitlxeusS Assoclnfisu.


Cislzsns' Asseciasisu.
The corporation Of influential property
holders Of the city known a. the Citizens
Association at . meeting on Saturday night
adopted memorial to the State Senate asking
earnestly for the passage OF the new City
Charter, which passed the House by an almost
unanimous vote on Wednesday last aud comes
up in the Senate to-day. The memorial gives
an unreserved approval to the main features Of
the Charter, and shows very clearly how accept
able 1t is to the prominent taxpayers Of the
city, who arc oertsinlY as anxious for good
government outside of politics as the seediest
ward politician can pretend to be inside. The
protestations Of tho Iattor ought to be, and
usually are, accepted with great allowance Of
salt and q large margin for buncombe; bat
when an argument or ON act appeals to the
pockets it Is safe to say that it will touch q
chord that calls for truth without buncombe,
whether the act or argument is disagreeable or
otherwise.
The Citizens Association for elk years has
been aiming to do good work in securing NUM-
cipal reforms, and it has succeeded Ia many
notable instances. II has made fearless war
upon all tho city officers who were corrupt or
neg!eotful, and upon the city commissions that
it deemed derelict, without regard to poll
tics or power; and although we have at times
felt called upon to rebuke Or ridicule some Of
the idiosyncrasies in which it indulged, like
the humanitarian Bergh. we have never
doubted its devotion to Q good work nor
obstructed its efforts to carry that good
work TO q successful issue. Now that it has
come out in an unreserved approval Of the
new Charter, which realizes most of its
efforts at reform, We present Its memorial in
another column as tho best argument we can
offer to the thinking mass Of the people for
good, hosest and sound city government
The petition attached offers similar solid
arguments in favor of the same Charter. When
Moses Taylor, II. D. Ciafin, James NJ. Consta-
BILE, Henry Ball, Richard Mortimer, G. L. TIFF
fany, Edward Cromwell, Peter Cooper and
numbers of others, who are not identified with
party politics, but who are interested by many
hundreds Of thousands of dollars with the re-
form Of the city government, petition for the
passage Of this new Charter in the Senate, tits
fair and safe deduction to make that they, as
men Of business. readily comprehend what
will improve, enrich and bsautify the city in
which their interests lie, even if we do not
place the deduction on the higher basis of
patriotism and pride. The inference. too,
offers fair logical contrast with tho rawlings
OF those other rich men--the silk stocking
magnates of the ds5onnaire democracy-whose
political ambitions so far overslaugh their
business interests that they have opposed the
Charter and affiliated with the desperadoes Of
the party in order to rule or ruin.

The Ursn.os Labor Riots.

Rioting seems to have become chronic among
tho miners and other workmen at Creusot, In
France It has again and again been ncces-
sary to call in the military. On Saturday the
disturbance seems to have been quite serious.
It was reported in Paris at that the dis
orders had been suppressed aud that peace
retgned. Later In the evening it was announced
that the disturbance had increased and that
additional troops had been sent thither. II
was added that the troubles were kept alive by
contributions of money from other countries.
Creuzot Is one Of the great centres of the iron
trade in France. The district abounds with
coal and iron, and tho great factory owned by
the Schneiders employs not fewer than ten
thousand men. 1t would not be wonderful II
1t proved true that foreign workmen, especially
those Of Great Britain, were helping to keep
mp the strike at Crcuzot by contributions Of
money. Living is cheaper in France than in
England: Men eau be got to work for lower
wages. French iron and steel can therefore
be sold cheaper than those OF Great Britain.
If 1t be true that the strike at Creuzot ID
the result OF European combination, it will
only confirm what we have often repeated in
these columns, tlat the railroad and telegraph
have placed the workmen under entirely new
onditions-condition which render probable
at no distant day the complete revolution Of
European society. Year by year it becomes
more difficult for tho monarchies and the
oligarchies to keep down the fierce democracy.

MORE EARTHQUAKES AT SAN FRANCISCO
On Saturday last, at noon, they had "a short,
wicked shock of an earthquake" at San Fran
cisco, Of six seconds duration, the direction
being from the southeast (the Sierra Nevada
chain of mountains) to the northwest. There
was great excitement, but no damage to life or
limb Itwas raining at the time, and prior to
the shock the barometer was observed to fall
very rapidly. These frequent earthquakes at
San Francisco are warnings which should not
be disregarded by the inhabitants of the city
in the matter Of house building. They should
put up no more six, five or four story houses;
and houses Of wood, well braced, as il for
rolling in heavy sea, are the best fox such a
shaky foundation as that Of San Francisco.
There is no safety in region OF earthquakes.
except in oil practicable precautions to meet
them.

The Savage Red Man.

Those who, living comfortably and safely
in civilized communities, have raised their
voices in bitter denunciation Of General
Sheridan for his punishment of the
Piegan Indians, may probably change their
tone on reading the despatch from Allan
tic City, Wyoming, this morning. Six white
men were killed there on the 3lst ult., and
stage coach, in which Paymastcr Cen
eral Alvord, Major Russell and four soldiers
Of the United States army and three
other persons were passengers, is so
long overdue that there is no reasonable
conclusion except that all Of them have been
massacred. The Indians who perpetrated
these outrages were not hostile bands with
whom we were at open war, but they were
pcaceable Indians, in whom the white settlers
had faith, and they were distributed about
that vicinity by General Augur, when, on the
ratification of peace treaties, he was looking
about for some reservation On which they
could settle. No doubt they came to these
peaceful pursuits at the beginning of winter
with plenty of presents and guns and ammu-
milton donated them by the confding govern
ment. As soon as the grass grows their
treacherous and murderous spirit exerts itself,
and this is the result--the cruel butchery of
the whites who believed in their protestatious
Of peace.

The CoUNoIL AND THE CIVIL POWERS
Later news informs us that there is no likeli-
hood Of the Pope abandoning his ground. He
is resolved to be infallible, and being able to
count on the majority, he is determined TO put
il to the vote. At the same time we are told
that Count Daru has given up the idea OF
sending lay representative TO Rome. The
reason for this change of policy is said to be
that he has not found sufficient encouragement
from the governments Of Vienna, Madrid and
Florence. The Pope and the Council are thus
to bs allowed to take what course they please.
This has all along been the idea Of Won Bcust,
the Austrian Chancellor. We may now look
for some action on the part Of the Council in
relation to the Syllabus and infallibility. We
may also look for o general tearing up Of ex-
listing concordats. The breach between Church
aud State promises TO widen more and more.

TEA AND CoFFEE.-The House of Repre-
sentatives, in Committee Of the Whole, has
fixed the duty on tea at twenty cents and on
coffee at four cents This, perhaps, is the best
we can hope for now, in view of the debt; but
as we get on with the reduction of the debt
we shall expect even cheapening by Cou-
gress Of tea and coffee.

HE'LL GATE.-It is given out that the COM
mittee of Congress on the subject Of improve
ments in the river and harbor, which they
will shortly report to the House, have agreed
upon an item of 100000 for tho removal of
the distractions in He'll Gate. This may, per-
haps, be better than nothing but II seems to
us that the commerce and Custom House rev.
enues from this port call for something more
than these dribbes for the removal Of these
Hell Gate distractions. Congress, in fact,
should provide for the opening of this passage
to the largest steamers at all conditions Of the
tide, or for tide ship canal, as soon as prac-
ticable, for peace purposes and for war pur-
poses.

This evening the new Charter viii be submitted
TO the Senate, and without much debate will
be made the special order for the morning ses-
sion tomorrow, and tomorrow it will be
brought up in Committee Of the Whole, when
o few weak passes will be made at it by Genet
& Co., but under the operation of the previous
question it will be put through on the RAILROAD
plan, and before the sun goes down it will pro-
baby be in the hands of the Governor for his
signature. On Wednesday it will be a law and
the Corporation Of the city Of New York will

FRANCE UNDER THE BoNApARTE CoNsTITU.
TIoN-'The mails from Europe by the steam
ship idaho yesterday supply the continuation
of the report Of the trial Of Prince Pierre
Bonaparte to the evening of the Gath of
March, Reports from Tours give the testimony
for the prosecution, with the opening of the
case for the defence. An incident which oc-
Cured in the court was commented on exten-
sively, as afording evidence of the ample
license which is just now accorded to the
French press. It transpred on the examina-
tion of one of the witnesses that the Mdrseil-
l0ise had announced that, Convicted or ac-
Quilted, the Prince would be killed." Yet,
after publishing this atrocious sentiment, the
Mdrseillaise continued in existence as q news
paper in Paris. Napoleon's letter of Magma
Charia addressed to Premier Olivier is pub
lished iaa ezteaso in our columns. The docu-
ments in both cases give proof that France is
being gradually advanced to a healthy system
of democracy--the law vindicated, imperialism
tolerant, the people educated and loyal.

The Connecticut Election.

The Connecticut election comes Off to-day
for Governor and other State officers, Lesisla-
ture, &C. It Is purely local election, but the
parties that it makes even purely local con-
test lively and exciting The result, of course,
is doubtful; but the democrats are sanguine Of
a handsome success. Last April their popular
candidate, English, was beaten four hundred
votes for Governor by the popular republican,
Jewell, while in November, 1868, when the
democrats were demoralized, General Grant
carried the State ny three thousand. The repub-
icans, for the present fight, which is between
Jewell-a and English again, had been counting
upon the acquisition Of the negro vote-about
fourteen hundred in the State-but the proola-
nation of the fifteenth amendment came too
late to enable them to make the necessary local ,
arrangements for the admission Of this new
element, whereby the democracy have been
greatly encouraged.
The campaign has been mainly fought by
the republicans on the merits of General
Grants administration, Congress and the repub-
lican party; and on the other side in the usual
uttuOCTdtlC ucuuuClutkOuS Va OTiut, OOuRISS6
and all concerned. The result, then, though
not amounting practically to much any way,
will be an endorsement or disapproval Of Grant
and Congress by Connecticut; but still a vic
tory to the democracy even in Connecticut at
this juncture, will be Of great value to them
as indicating not only that the party still
lives but that il is actually gaining ground.
SLAVERY IN CUBA.-We publish in another
part Of the HERALD to-day an interesting COM
nunication from citizen Of Havana, which
throws considerable light on the recent order
of the Captain General in relation to certain
negro slaves. The writer bases his letter on
late despatch from Havana which was pub
lished in the American newspapers, and whica
is calculated to mislead the people Of the
United States by indicating that the Spanish
government contemplates the abolition Of negro
slavery on the island. Tho despatch in ques-
ton, which was transmitted by the Associated
Press agent in Havana, Is widely different
from Captain General de Rodas' decree, Of
which the telegram furnished pretended to bs
an explanation.

"DUsT THROWING" FOR THE NEXT PREsF-

authority that Senator Fenton is not a oandi-
date for the republican nomination for The next
Presidency, and intimates that all assertions
to that effect are but cruel jokes. The Cypress
should remember that s'many jest is spoken
in earnest" In this connection the Rochester
Chronicle (republican) revives the following
little bit of political history
It may possibly occur to some people that Gov
ernor Fenton wasn't candidate for Senator last
year until the very last Moment alter the suspicious
OF his enemies were ailayed and set at rest. Then.
IN spite or his pledges to Judge Davis he suddenly
appeared ar Albany with an Immense lobby taxing
both Davis and Morgan BY SURPRISE and laying them
both as nat as Il founder. It Is t0leraby evident
tnat Fenton has already begun to set his under5trap
pers at work laying pipe for the republican Presl-
dental nomination III 1872.

growing out Of the resistance of tho Red
Company, the British home government and
the Dominion Of Canada. If any people are

people of Winnipeg; and 1t is wise for the
United States government to establish military
posts at points where they are so signally
needed as they are at the present time on tho
northwestern boundaries of the country.

less woman in that town, slxty-flve years old,
recently deserted her husband, stealing the
hard earnings and savings of many years, and
went to live with another man in the same
place. They were Germans, she the daughter
of o clergyman, and had lived together four
teen years in Fatherland. Another case has
just occurred out West according to the
Lawrence Tribune, where the wife of hotel
keeper in Kansas City ran off with 'sanother
man., stealing considerable property belonging
to her husband. She WAS suffered to 60 after
disgorging her plunder. Here are evidences
that ''nen have no rights that women are

chance for maintaining his marital rights. II
