OFF FOR EURoPE.-One of our new Board
of Aldermen, Lawrence R. Jerome, leaves for
Europe to-day. He will return about the time
the Atlantic Ocean yacht contest eliminates,
and bring with him laurels which all his con-
stituents will doubtless hail with cordial salts
faction. Why don't more of our Aldermen and
Assistant Aldermen 60 abroad for season? 1t
would no doubt do them good, and when they
entered upon their arduous municipal duties
at home they would do 30 like giants refreshed
with rare old foreign wines. The experiment
is worth trying.

involved in the proverb that ''what is every
body's business is nobody's business" has
hitherto applied well to the case of public con-
tractors for such purposes as street cleaning.
No one on the part of the public assumed the
duty of seeing whether the work was done be-
fore the pay was given. Now we have some
improvement in that respect, and the order of
Superintendent Jourdan to the police to OBJ
serve and report on the state Of the streets and
on the fulflment Of the garbage contract, &C.,
supplies real public need.

No King for Spain.

BY our latest advices we learn that General
Prim regards the declination of General Es-
partero to accept the Spanish crown as final,
and recommends the consolidation of the Span
ish regency. As at the same moment our ad-
vices inform us that there is very serious OBJ
lection, inside and outside of the Cortes, to the
confirmation Of plenary powers in the hands of
Serrano, the inference is that, quite in accord
ance with what we limited some time ago,
General Prim himself may be the man of the
future. But there is more than this in the
present tendency of Spanish affairs The Ma
poleonic dynasty rises like giant refreshed
with wine from the recent plebiscitary contest
in France. Almost simultaneous with Its, sue
cess occurred the Saldanha revolution In Por-
tugal and the suggestion Of an Iberian union.
The Portuguese Deputies of the old Chamber
have separated with solemn pledges against a
subordination to Spain, but not, it may be re-
marked, against any union which should re-
cognize the autonomy of their country while
combining its strength for good results with
that of their cousins beyond the Spanish from
tier, who are of the same religion, speak a
language very similar to their own and have
some traditions in common with them. The
disorders in Spain and in Portugal have re-
Gently afforded France nearly as good pre-
text for interference as that which has called
her troops to Italy, and should those disorders
continue and the regency be found i'm
practicable under certain conditions, why
might not the preponderating influence OF
France be exercised in peculiar way?
Spain seeks for leader, and General Prim,
in something of that capacity, has had frequent
counselling at Paris. Could be not prepare
the way for ple6iscitum in Spain which
might result in the selection of Napoleonic
prince to head the nation2 How would the
candidature suit the idea of political fraterni-
zation of the Latin race? Stranger things
than this have happened. A brother of the
First Napoleon was once made King of Spain
by force suppose that cousin of Napoleon
III. should rise to the same eminence by popu-
lar vote, and that his rule should, in time,
cover the entire Iberian peninsula9 Would
the latter really lose thereby, or would the
security aud peace Of Europe be any the
| worse off for an arrangement that would
repose upon so many guarantees of strength
| and order?
This Is question which may have more
| significance and be more nearly in accordance
with the French Emperor's new map of Europe.
bearing the ante-date of 1872, than most people

Tho Puracas,on or she Ballot Box.

The Pursncati0n or the Ballot Box.
The bill to enforce the fifteenth amendment
was finally passed by the House yesterday,
and will in all likelihood be approved by the
President to-day. Thus it becomes law
after long and thorough ventilation in both
brapches Of Congress and by the general press
OF the country. 1t provides substantially
thorough protection Of the ballet box from
frauds. 1t imposes heavy penalties not only
on fraudulent voters, but on all aiders and
abettors In frauds at elections--o on the judges
and inspectors who knowingly refuse
to receive honest votes or knowingly
receive dishonest ones; on any person who at
tempts by bribery, intimidation, or threats to
prevent any one from voting or from doing
any of the acts necessary to qualify him to
vote, and on any person who shall oppress or
injure another ON account of his vote. 1t gives
United States marshals the power to arrest
persons for such offences, and United States
President authority to enforce the execution Of
judicial processes under the act by the en-
ployment of the naval and military forces. 1t
provides that any person, candidate, who has
been deprived of his election by reason of the
denial to any citizens of the right to vote, may
State courts, as he may choose. It provides
also penalties against persons who accept
Offices knowing themselves to be Ineligible, and
abolishes special State taxes on Chinese immi-
grants.
The bill, it will be seen, is broad as the
Union in its provisions. 1t protects the
darky down South, the Chinaman on the
Pacific coast and the honest vote in New York
city. While it h purely party measure and
has been passed in both houses by purely
party vote it is broad enough and long enough
to cover both parties, and will in its provisions
operate impartially and faithfully for pure
ballot box, without regard to political COM
plexion. The penalties imposed by it are
severe, but they are aimed at crimes which
need severe punishment. We have 80 long
been under the rule of the party roughs of
this city that we shall have reasonIto rejoice If
the bill becoming law is rigidly enforced,
and none but the party roughs or the
political organizations dependent on fraudu-
lent elections for success are apt to regret it.
Especially will the bill serve to secure the
publication of the ballot box If the uniform
Naturalization bill now pending in the Senate
is also passed The latter gives the power of
naturalization into the hands of the United
States courts and specifies that a foreigner
cannot vote within less than six months of the
date of his naturalization. The two bills, it is
therefore obvious, are admirably calculated,
besides the service they may render the newly
made voters of another race and complexion,
to rid New York Of the infamous frauds 50
long imposed on honest voters by the hurried
naturalization of all the newly arrived foreign
element a few days before election, and the
repeating and intimidation practised by ruff
fanly voters and rufianly inspectors at the
polls.

Congress Yestsrday.


In the Senate yesterday the Legislative,
Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill gave
rise to several warm discussions, which def
nitely settled one important point at least.
Among the amendments proposed was an
appropriation Of five hundred thousand dol
lars for the Improvements Of the Capitol
grounds. This brought out several Western
Senators, who opposed the appropriation and
took occasion to ventilate the proposition OF
the removal of the national capital. Their
eloquence, however, was unheeded, and the
Senate put finish to the insane project by
passing the appropriation by the overwhelm-
ing vote of AZ yeas to 10 nays. Other
amendments were adopted increasing the sala-
ries Of the Chief Justice OF the Supreme
Court to ten thousand dollars per annum, Asso-
ciate Judges to eight thousand dollars and OF
Circuit Judges to seven thousand FIVE hun
dred dollars, the increase of salaries to COM
menee July l, 1870, and the bill passed. The
Committee on Appropriations reported, with
amendments, the House bill for deficiency in
the appropriation for the payment of mileage
for members, the amendments appropriating
one million two hundred thousand dollars to
supply the deficiency for the collection Of
custom duties and twenty thousand dollars for
special counsel fees. Senator Trumbull said
ideas Of economy, and suggested that while
thus lavishly squandering the peoples money
it might be well enough to raise the pay Of
members of Congress.
The House took up the South Carolina con-
tested election case-Wallace against Simpson.
Simpson not being reconstructed according to
the acts Of Congress, the House, with its usual
sense of political consistency, awarded the seat
to Wallace, although there was majority OF
four thousand against him in his district. The
Legislature Of Idaho, having become some
time ago impatient of federal control, assumed
even more than State sovereignty and passed
several laws discriminating against race and
color. To keep the now too progressive
Legislature within due bounds the House
annulled the obnoxious laws and placed John
Chinaman upon the same footing as other un-
naturalized foreigners. The report of the con-
ference committee on the bill to enforce the
fifteenth amendment was taken up and agreed
to. The President will probably sign the bill
to-day. The Internal Tax bill was then taken
up. 1t is presumed to be, on Mr.. Schenck's
authority, short substitute for the annual
bill, which is often of immense proportions !;
but when the Clerk commenced reading it was
found that the first section took up thirty
pages, whereupon the House, at the hour
designated, adjourned without hearing the
end of it.

Ano1mHMRNr OF THE CARrAGE BuaEAU.-

ABoLIsHMENT OF THE CARRIAGE BUREAU
On Saturday last we exposed the abuses of
the Carriage Bureau, that has been managed in
the interests of private parties in this city
against the welfare Of the port and the best
interests of our merchants, and we urged the
Secretary of the Treasury to abolish it as an
obstruction to commerce. We are glad to
see that the Secretary has accepted our sug-
geston. The carriage will hereafter be con-
Quoted on the old system, few additional
safeguards being thrown around it to protect
1t from the abuses that have been pre-
vailing in the new system without let OF
hindrance.

'LoYALTY" OF PRESIDENT GRANT.-The
London Times talks approvingly of President
Grants 'sloyalty" His loyalty to the Union
and TO the government and people of the
United States was never doubted. Does the
Times mean to intimate that his 'loyalty" has
a different application, and that the non-en-
forcement of the Alabama claims is evidence
that 'loyalty" to the British throne is believed
to be not yet extinct among the American
people? That sort of 'loyalty" was melted
out of their hearts when the statue of George
the Third, in Bowling Green, was torn down
and molten into bullets for the defence Of
American liberty.

COUNTING THE FoRcEs.-Old Abe Lincoln
when once asked the force of the Confederates
said they had from one to two million men in
the field. He justified this computation on
the ground that every one Of our generals re-
ported half million in front of him. We are
having in much smaller numbers about the
same sort of counting just now. Everybody
who sees twenty Fenians on the border re-
ports FIVE hundred, and the same twenty is
seen by twenty different persons; SO the
Fenian forces are augmented in magnificent
ratio.

of our Buffalo dispatches says:- 1.-THE excite

be taken as a final sign that the last great
Fenian movement has achieved all that its
projectors expected from it. 1t has opened

gullible Irishmen who are in funds

Tho Question Of Reviving American Com.
merce in COngress.

nierce In Congress.
Mr.. Lynch deserves credit for his persever-
ance in the House Of Representatives for
reviving and promoting the commerce and
shipping interests of the country. At first he
claimed too much, particularly in the matter
of subsidies or direct appropriations from the
Treasury; but seeing this was impracticable he
accepts the substitute to the original bill,
which does away with that feature of direct
bonus to shipbuilding. This shows that he is
intent on reviving the shipping interests of the
country and. that he will accept anything to
that end he can get from Congress. The sub
stitute to the original bill provides for draw
construction of ships and of stores used on
board of them afterwards. This Is undoubt-
edly fair and reasonable proposition. No
one who has the interests of our commerce at
heart or who takes broad view Of the ma
tional welfare could object to such PROPOSE
ton. There is, however, serious objection
to granting bonus-a direct payment from
the Treasury-upon American materials used
equal to the duty on foreign materials. This
would be in the interest only of limited
class of the community, and must lead to ex-
travagance and corruption. 1t is wrong in
principle, an outrage upon the taxpayers and
contrary to sound policy. Mr. Buffers plan
of favoring American shipping by reduction
of duty on foreign dutiable articles carried in
American bottoms would be better.
The debate on the bill to revive our COM
merce developed great ignorance and lament
able want of national feeling in Congress.
Some of the Western members showed con-
tracted sectional feeling that was disgrace to
the country. They seemed to think that the
West-their section-had no interest in our
shipping OF foreign commerce. How short
sighted How unpatriotic! Whatever tends
to promote the shipping interests and to en-
large our commerce must be benefit to their
constituents. But even if they were not
directly benefited these narrow-minded legis-
lators ought to remember that it is their duty
to legislate for the general welfare, and not for
would reap the advantages Of an enlarged
American commerce and an increase Of Ameri-
can tonnage as much as the commercial cities
of the East. The debate on this subject shows
what small local politicians we have in Con
gress and how much we need statesmen o
broad national views there. Still we have
hope, from the large vote of 1O5 yeas to 81
nays against Mr.. Allison's motion to lay the
bill and amendments on the table, that some
measure will be passed in favor Of revivine
American shipping and commerce.

SOME OF THE NEWSPAPERS are criticising
General Grants grammar in his late neutrality
proclamation. 1t seems now that the tele-
graphers and not the President were blamable.
As these papers usually say the worst they
can about the President it Is encouraging to
know, however, that they have no more
serious fault than grammatical error to
charge him with.

In TRArNrNG.-Our criminal authorities may
look out fer fine crop Of murders upon the
return to this city of all the hard cases who
are Low on the border ready to follow in the
wake Of the Fenian ''army" for plunder and
general recreation. The restraints Of the
rural district and enforced sobriety will be
hard on them, and they will indulge an un-
usual hilarity when they get once more in the
free, familiar air Of the city.

Orr LATE STATE ELECTION FIzzLE.-It
appears from official returns from most of the
counties and from unofficial returns from the
rest that the whole vote cast in this State will
not exceed 430,o 200. Compare this with the
full vote of 1868 and it will be seen at once
that this late election was fzzle which signi-
hes nothing -
Total vote OF the State, 1865. S4o, 776
Total vote Of the State, 1870. 10000
Dcfciencv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. .419.776
Or say about one half the vote of the State, Of
which loss the stay-at-home republicans count,
on their vote Of 1868, $50, 600, and the demo-
Gratis lso, ,0Oo-the democrats, whose strength
is In cities aud towns, always doing better on
. short vote than the republicans, whose
strength is in the county And this is all there
is In the result Of our late election. 1t Is .
demoQFatic victory which siguides nothing.

THE FRENCH MAIL STEAMSHIP PERErRE--
HER RUN TO BREsT. French Transit
lantic mail steamship Pereire, which sailed
from New York on the 14th inst, having on
board the distinguished company Of American
passengers whose names were reported in the
HERALD next day, arrived at Brest early on
Monday evening, the 23d inst, having made,
as usual with the vessels Of this line, the
passage within niue days-an exceedingly
rapid run, when we consider the greater sail
ing distance to Brest over trip to Liverpool
or Queenstown. Strange to say, the ''arrival
out" of the Pereire is only reported by the
cable to-day. This is termed in the telegram
"a shameful neglect of somebody" So it is,
as will be affirmed by the relatives and friends
of the passengers. But who is the somebody
