Money must supply the sinews Of war. The
French government has already received
$l14, $50, 600 and has been permitted to issue
$40, oOO,OOO of additional Treasury bonds, in
order to carry on the war which has just
begun. The floating debt Of France, which
already amounts to $3.50, 600, 900, will doubt
less be swollen ere long to at least
$3.50, 900, 900. One hundred and three million
six hundred and fifty thousand dollars have
been demanded by Germany, including Prussia
and Bavaria. But these large sums are but the
initial expenses Of war which may yet cost
an incalculable amount Of treasure as well as
an irrevocable loss Of lfe If other European
nations are drawn into the maeistrom of war
a result which is by no means improbable
the aggregate of the expenses Of the war Will
be increased almost beyond the limits OF cal
cuation The prodigious expenses of the
Crimean war, not only on the part of France,
Great Britain and Russia, but also on the
part Of their respective allies, afford but q
faint idea Of the probable expenses of the
impending war in Europe. To this expense
mus. be added the loss by the depreciation of
shares and stocks and the interruption, if not
the stoppage, OF the ordinary course of COM
merce. Arthur Helps, the accomplished pri-
vate secretary of Queen Victoria, has given
vivid idea of the cost Of war by estimating
the cost OF merely the cart wheels expended"
in single campaign. Bat who can estimate
the total destruction Of values threatened by
the war between France and Prussia? Ii
Great Britain shall be involved in this war its
national debt will be swollen beyond compu-
tation. Bankruptcy and reputation seem to
be the inevitable results of the general Euro
pean war which now darkly looms on the
horizon. Might not some miraculous inter
ference of Providence be devoutly prayed for
to cause the diversion of the vast sums about
to be wasted for the purposes Of destruction
into channels that would lead to all the inesti-
mable advantages of universal peace?

II was a detective officer of Boston, by the
name of Jones, we think. who once had an
important New York matter in charge. The
result He not only caught his man, but
was conveying him to New York, under lock
and KEY, when the manacled culprit jumped
from one of the Long Island Sound steamers
into the water abreast of Governors Island.
This might have been very good point for
the prisoner if he intended to drown himself.
But officer Jones thought otherwise. The
culprit jumped-it was just at Diamond
shoals-and Jones jumped after him. The
culprit could not make much resistance, and
Jones, not half drowned, dragged his
prisoner on board the steamer, and finally had
the satisfaction of seeing him sent to Sing
Sing for term Of years.
There are many men, no doubt, bred up TO
the hsrdships of public officers life, who will
appreciate this Difference to the performance
of a duty Of an officer under unpleasant Cir
cumstances. But it is not always courage
that constitutes the ingredient of o thorough
police officer He must also have sagacity,
patience, wit, penetration, indomitablc perse-
verance and faculty to weave facts that may
hereafter be used as events may determine.
Is Superintendent Jourdan man of this stamp!
We hope So But it will scarcely require a
reference to the police records Of France or
England to find his superior where investga-
tons about mysterious events like the afro
cious Nathan murder have been forced upon
the public attention.

The Homeward Flisht Of Our Summer
Birds In Europe.

The sudden and startling shock Of war
resulted in general stampede among the sum-
mer birds of passage up the Rhine and to the
travellers among the mountains and watering
places Of Germany, and even to those among
the Alps and on tho plains and wales Of Italy.
Hundreds of Americans were among these
flying hosts, seeking the shortest routes and
the speediest means of reaching the seaboard
and return home. Many Americans and
English, too slow in their movements, were
intercepted and delayed or driven from their
course and dispersed, with some losses of
baggage, by falling in the way of the hnrrying
columns of the Prussian army, horse, foot and
artillery. One of the consequences of this
European war, therefore, is the diversion back
to the United States of "a great number of our
summer travellers in Europe; and another
result will be the suspension this season to a
great extent of our outward bound trans
atlantic pleasure seekers. Immense sums of
money are and will thus be saved or diverted
to our own summer watering places,
which otherwise would be distributed over the
European Continent. The British islands,
from the same causes, will, before the expira-
ton of this season, be more extensively patron
lied by fashionable natives and strangers this
summer and autumn than in any year since
the general continental disturbances of
1852. The old proverb, then, that cit is
an ill wind which blows nobody any good,
will apply even to this scandalous war be-
I'll
may pronounce, it from the shallow pretences
upon which it is justified. There is a fine
opening through which even yet we may reap
the greatest commercial advantages, with a
little assistance from Congress. Our impor-
tant agricultural and manufacturing interests
will certainly prosper from the destruction of
the material wealth and resources and the sns-
pension of the productions Of France and Ger
many, although there is no satisfying equiva-
lent in this reflection for the horrors Of this
gigantic war; Taking things, however, as
we find them, the losses to France and Ger
many will contribute vastly to our gains
agricultural, manufacturing, commercial,
inancial-and likewise in the summer squan-
behring's of the gay world Of fashion. In addi-
ton to the return and detention on this side Of
our own people, we may expect before the end of
the autumn, should this war 60 on, an increased
number of visitors from Europe, though the
American wealth and strength producing stream
of German immigration is arrested. Particularly
in regard to our summer resorts, we think that
from this European war new epoch Of
fashion and prosperity may be dated, from the
great lakes to the Gulf, and from the cooling
surf of Long Branch to the shining breakers
of the Pacific.

The Race for the Americas Cur-CIeaf
the Course.

Probably the most brilliant scene ever wit
messed in New York harbor will be that pre-
scented to morrow at the start from the New York
Yacht Club House, on Staten Island, of the
twenty-five gallant boats all entered and ready
to compete for the Americas Cup. 1t Is under
stood, OF course, that the race could not be
run for the ownership of the Americas Cup
unless an English yacht was entered to try her
mettle In the race. The Cambria is here TO
make the requirements complete and to claim
supremacy for the English yacht clubs. Hav-
ing run az ocean race in the mean-
time with success she boldly enters into the
contest Twenty-fonr of the boats entered are
American The Cambria alone represents
foreign yachts. II will be grand sight to see
nearly the whole force Of the New York Yacht
Club, large boats and small boa.s--running,
of course, on the usual allowance Of time
putting forth their strength each one striving
to the utmost OF its capacity to retain tho
Americas Cup in this country.
1t must be observed that the number OF
yachts entered for this race is unprecedented.
The comparatively narrow space in which they
have to make the start renders it necessary
that they should have all the room possible.
We would urge, therefore, upon captains Of
steam and pleasure boats and all other navi-
gators, to give the racing boats clear
berth over the course. They can afford their
passengers fair sight of the race without
crowding upon the yachts. Steamboat cap
tains do not know, perhaps, how much they
may affect the sailing of a yacht at critical
moment by running even considerable dis
lance to windward OF her. We trust, then,
that pleasure parties will keep clear Of tho
course and give all the contesting boats fair
play.
The excitement about the race is intense In
all quarters. The people Will visit our glo-
rious bay by thousands Tomorrow, and never
such spectacle has been witnessed in it's
waters before

PAPAL INFALLIBILITY. The complete result
of the Ecumenical Council of the Vatican is
set forth in our columns to-day. 1t comes in
the shape of the dogmatic decree of Papal
infalibility set forth by Pope Plus the Ninth
to the Christian world. The text OF this inn
portant document reaches Us in advance sheets
of the Catholic World magazine Of this city,
and is consequently correctly rendered. There

its fruits, and thus be enabled to judge Of its
claims to Pontfcal primacy and perpetuity.

st. nomipyo and Eaysi.

The war cry has again been raised, and
Hayt and St. Domingo are anxious TO emu
late the example of France and Prussia For
months past the relations between the two re-
publics have been anything but friendly.
Since Saget has been elected President OF
Uayti he has been in continual hot water.
The admirers Of Salnave did not become ex .
tinct with their chief and they are now giving
the President elect of Hayti all the trouble
they possibly can. But if the Salnavists exer-
else constant dread in the minds of the
present rulers in Hayti, st. Domingo is not
without its troubles also. Cabral is doing his
utmost to embarrass Baez, The Dominican
President. 1t is claimed now thai Presi-
dent Saget will aid Cabral against
Bacz, because the latter favors the
success OF the Salnave party against Saget.
This is precisely the situation of affairs in
Dominica A little reflection will convince
any one that the only way TO end these bloody
dssensions which mark the history OF this
island would be by the annexation Of either
one or both Of these republics TO this country.
We had an opportunity to acquire st. Do
mingo on what appeared to be not only fair
terms, but on conditions more reasonable than
we could expects yet the opportunity was
lost. With st. Domingo once under the flag
of the United States these discussions and
disturbances which continually convulse the
peoples of both Hayti and st. Domingo would
be finally ended, rich and fruitful tract of
land would be added to the United States, and
not only the Haytiens and Dominicans would
be benefited, but the whole civilized world
would rejoice al the chance.

ignominious retreat. Under such circum-

The Old North State appears to have
been too much reconstructed to answer
radical ends. Governor Holden made a bold
stroke to save the State to his party by rails
ing the Ku Klux phantom and declaring sew
eral strongly Democratic counties in a state of
instruction; hut even these desperate mea-
sures proved futile, and North Clrolina has
gone democratic by ten thousand majority.
Both branches of the Legislature are largely
democratic, which secures the election of
democrat to the United States Senate in the
place OF Abbott, whose term expires with
the present Congress. The radicals elect
only two of the seven Congressman. This
crushing defeat Of the republicans was most
unexpec ed as it was deemed certain before
The election that they would carry at least
four Congre ssional districts, and no fears
were entertained concerning he Legislature
Unlocked for as was the result by the North
Carolina republicans, still it is but the natural
sequence OF the INSTRUMENTATION Of affairs in
that State. The republicans placed TOO little
consideration upon the white population, and
sought almost exclusively the cclored vote.
At the South the white man is proven
bially uncertain ''and niger is never
sure, and The late election proves
the North Carolina darkies are no exception
10 this rule The white vote was fully cast
and nearly solid for the democratic ticket, but
The republicans appear to have been democrat
lied and failed to poll their entire vote. Gov
ernor Hold1n'5 administration is decided
failure too much Of the State legislation was
ior the benefit of particular race, instead of
the people, and in every department affairs
had become so muddled tina, any change would
be for the better. The republican party will
do well TO heed tue lesson taught by the North
Carolina election. Unless it speedily cuts
loose from the narrow-minded, corrupt, fanati-
cal leaders which have brought it TO the verge
of ruin other radical States will az unexpect-
edly wheel into the democratic line and that
party again be in the ascendauoy.

The annual report Of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals society
of which Mr.. Bergh may properly be regarded
as the inspiring soul-affords gratifying evil
dence that the claims CT the brute creation to
rights that ''must be respected by man are
gradually winning ample recognition. Since
the last report Of the treasurer Of this society
three legacies have bcea bequeathed TO it,
amounting in the aggregate to seven thousand
dollars, and since May Is, 1870, the sum Of
eight thousand dollars has been received
toward the purchase of buildiag for the
society. During the double cheated terms"
of this summer the diminution Of the sutferings
of horses has been so markable-thanks 10
the efforts of Mr. Bergh--that tue disposition
TO ridicule some of the excuses Of his zeal has
entirely ceased. The utility Of the truck re-
Gently constructed by the society has proved
TO be admirably adapted 20 the purpose OF re-
moving crippled and disabled animals. No
less than hfty-two horses, not permanently
disabled, were removed to places OF shelter
and security and saved from death from July
30, 1869, to May l, 1870 During the past
year 405 persons were arrested by the officers
of the society, 2G9 of whom were convicted
and punished. The cause of which Mr.. Bergh
has been the persistent advocate in New York
has awakened general sympathy throughout
the United States. AS one proof OF this fact
we may refer TO the excellent little journal en-
titled or Dumb 44n5aals, published at Bos-
ton by the Massachusetts Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, of which Mr..
Frank & Fay is the secretary.
