Tho Spring Opening Of Ensaions.

Yesterday was a gala occasion for the modistes
of the metropolis. Then for the first time they
removed the veil Of mystery that so long hid the
treasures Of the chameleon deity from the eyes
of her votaries and displayed them In their
most attractive shape. From morning till
night Broadway was gayer and more brilliant
than ever, and elegant equipagss blocked the
approaches to the marts Of fashion. Bon
nets and dresses were on exhibition in bewil-
dering variety and profusion, and the ever
smiling modistes glanced at each triumphantly
as the murmur Of appreciation from the de-
lighted customers fell on their ears. There Is
little Of decided novelty In either bonnets or
dresses this season, at least nothing of q
revolutionary character. There is also more
regard paid to the dictates Of common sense
and taste in both styles and materials-a cir
cumstance which will surprise and delight
benedicts Of every description. Nothing
''loud," extravagant or nonsensical is tolerated
by tho fair daughters Of Manhattan, and the
modistcs have endeavored to comply faithfully
with their wishes.

TIE MILK TRADK.-A convention of milk
men was held at Croton Falls on Wednesday,
and resolutions were adopted denouncing the
swill milk dealers and pledgng the members
of the convention to use no swill or delete
rious substance as food for their cows in
future, and to supply dealers and customers
with good, pure milk. This is ON encouraging
and gratifying sign. 1t encourages us to hope
that, with the aid OF Mr.. Bergh, it will be
quite possible ere long to take milk without
thought Of stump-tail cows or of the dilusing
qualities Of Croton water, and that metropoli-
tan babies will grow up lusty and strong from
the pure lacteal nourishment of the COW,
instead of weak and puny from the euervating
effects of the hydrant.

THE CANADIAN Policy OF RETALIATION
In the Nova Scotia Legislature on Wednesday
aresolution was introduced and made special
order for next Friday, setting forth that the
proposed policy Of retaliatins on the United
States for the withdrawal Of the Reciprocity
Treaty by imposing heavy duties on American
imports, is unsound in itself and is especially
inopportune at present when the American
Congress is considering the subject Of reduc-
ing the duties on Canadian exports. The
Nova Scotians take asound view Of the matter
from their standpoint, but they need not expect
another reciprocity treaty with the United
States. Uncle Sam will treat the Canadian
provinces as well as he treats New York when
they come in under his flag, but they must not
expect to do SO before. They can get rid of
their export troubles, their Fenian fears, their
Winnipeg rebellions and oil their Ills simply by
annexation.

PROGRESS IN TIE South. West Point
(Miss) Herald, a spirited sheet, printed in q
thriving town, is in raptures over the prospect
Of the formation of \ new county, Of which,
we suppose, West Point is to be the county
seat and the Herald the county organ. II 10
proposed to erect the new county out Of parts
of Chickasaw, Monroe, Lowndes and Oktib-
beha counties. The Herald already secs ia
imagination ''the towering cupola of massive
granite court house, myriads of hungry court
house officials, cosey, tidy, safe brick jail
and legal 'ads' by the square; therefore we
exult we are exultant, buoyed up by hopes,
hopes of better days, days in which West
Point paper can make money" Already
West Point cotton factory is proposed, and as
the town is located in the centre Of luxurianl
cotton growing region the raw material can
find ready and convenient home market.
This is one of the signs Of Southern progress
that becomes at once cheering and cncour
aging.

Bonaparte, viii also examine and adjudge the
cases of the persons charged with conspiracy
against the State and the life Of the Emperor

MORE CABLES AND MORE EXAMPLES. - The
cable from Alden, on the Arabian coast, via
the Red Sea to Suez, Egypt, has been success
fully laid. The connection is now complete
between London and Bombay-sea all the way,
and British guns to watch it, with the excep-
ton Of the neck Of land In Egypt under the
control of the Viceroy. Another cable, called
the Indo- European cable, has also been COM
pleted England has thus two great lines

Ferryboat Accidents.

II ls very extraordinary that for some time
past there have been so many accidents re-
ported on our ferries. Hardly week passes
without an account Of some inebriated. insane
or otherwise perplexed individual "walking
the plank involuntarily and making an un-
premedtated visit to the fishes in the harbor
and rivers. How is it that on these momentous
occasions the poor sufferer Is permitted to sink
to the bottom without a single effort to rescue
being made by the employees of the ferry COM
pany? 1t would seem as if there were no pre-
cautions fany kind taken on these boats against
any possibility of disaster. Take the Brooklyn
ferries as an instance. The boats are over
crowded every evening, and 1t is only miracle
that more accidents do not occur. II q person
falls overheard he or she has nincty-nine
chances out Of q hundred In favor Of drown
ing. Last Monday poor fellow fell over
board from one of the Jersey ferries and was
instantly drowned, because no life-saying ap-
paratus was on hand. Hundreds of other
cases might be cited. The boat moves on, and
the lost passenger il forgotten until, perhaps,
the papers chronicle the demise. This is radi-
caly wrong, and we call upon the Legislature
to compel the heartless ferry corporations to
adopt some humane measures to save any un-
fortnnates from the untimely death that threat
ems them every time they venture across either
Of our rivers. The ferries are miserably man
aged In other respects, but in this they are
inexcusable. Talk Of the Society for tho Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals : Why not pay
little attention to the much abused blpeds
who trust themselves at every hour Of the day
on orr ferries?

THE UNITED STATRs SENATE was in execu-
tive session all day yesterday ON the St.
Domingo treaty. Senator Sumner took up the
whole time in opposition to its ratification. As
the time for the exchange Of ratfcations
expires on Tuesday, the Senate has no time to
lose, and will continue the discussion in secret
session to-day, when we again urge them to
come to q conclusion In favor Of the treaty.
The Dominicans have voted for 1t, and are
doubtless jubilant over their early political
salvation.

THE REPUBLICANS MASTERS or TIE FIELD
If it be true that the elk stockings and the
the knife and the knife to the hilt" against the
democratic regulars, the republicans are mas
ters of the field at Albany, and it rests with
them, as men of law and order, to say whether
the democratic law and order men or Jack
knives shall take back seats in our city govern
ment The opportunity for law and order is
glorious one and the republicans if they will,
can turn it to glorious account.

Our Special European Advices by Mail
Tho Old World As II Ii.


The European mail Of the 18th Of March,
delivered at this port yesterday, supplied us
with most valuable special correspondence
from the Old World, furnishing, in addition, a
varied and very interesting newspaper detail
OF our cable kilograms to date Our special
writer's in Berlin and St. Petersburg present
matter of considerable import, the arst rela-
tive to the national feeling which exists in
Germany on the subject of the Papal claims
Of infallibility and Church doctrinal ascendancy
as set forth in the Ecumenical Council the
second expressive Of the graceful and honor
able nsenaorum tribute which was paid by the
Gear Of Russia to the memory of the late
Minister Burlingame by an imperial visit made
to his widow. The religious alarm which
exists in North Germany appears to be very
intense in feeling and with Its spirit
decidedly opposed to Papal preten-
sions. Ia this connection 1t win be
remarked that tho countrymen Of Luther
and Huss experience religious light and con-
ISOLATION to-day from the pages Of the HERALD
published in New York--a decided attestation
gelism for the free and independent press Of
America preaching with the modern ''gift Of
tongues by electricity. The French indict-
mcnt under which Prince Pierre Bonapartc is
being tried appears IN erte'eso in its legal
yerbiage in our columns. Queen Victoria
held Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace,
from which we report the style Of dress fash
ions just prevalent at the British Court, at
the same moment when we extend very sin
cere welcome to her Majesty on her reappear
ance as the leader of the circle The Queen
was suitably supported by the Princess Of
Wales and two Of tho young Princesses,
daughters of her Majesty. Murder and sui
eide are again spoken Of in repulsive form from
France. England had an elopement in high
life terminating in the marriage Of Lady
Blanche Noel, daughter Of the Earl of Gains-
borough, in a Catholic church. Mr.. Disrael
stirred up the conservative electors Of London
to a rally for parliamentary seats triumph.
France remained decidedly hostile to the plan
Of the pontiical schema. Turkey sends
reports Of progress and religious consistency.
Our European news budget speaks thus of
JOY and grief, royalty and democracy, conso!a-
ticn and crime, religion, law, politics and love-
in general and very instructive commn-
glement-instructve as it tells the American
people what to initiate and what it is healthy
to avoid in the customs and habits OF the
communities of the Old Land.

TIE CADETsHIP INVESTIGATION. General
Logan's committee reported yesterday on the
subject Of cadet appointments, recommending
that cadet be required to reside two years
in the district from which he is appointed;
that lobbyists known to have attempted to bribe
members be excluded from the rooms and gal
leries of the Houses that General Schoept be
removed from tho Patent Oilice, and that Com
mander Upshur be court martialled. The
term Of cadets residence was reduced to one
year, the bill was passed and the report was
adopted. Mr.. Mungen is exonerated by this
report from the transactions alleged against
him. We are glad of it. 1t would be too bad
ifhe had any more sins to answer for than
repudiation and his Glo5e speeches.

A CADETsnIP IN WgIoH THERE WAS No
JoB.-The Cumberland (Md.) Transcript, re-
ferring to the appointment by the Prevalent of
George w. Collomer to naval cddetship,
states that the appointee is the son Of the late
George w. Collomer, once Of Boston, after
wards Mayor of Lawrence, Kansas, who was
killed by Quantrell in the bloody struggle in
that State. This is said to be the only cadet
ship the President had at his disposal, and
the nature Of the appointment shows a'marked
contrast with the action of certain members of
Congress who have had similar favors to be-
stow. There is ey identity no job in this cadet

A FINE CHANCE FOR CHARITY.--It Is given
many General Committee in the Wigwam on
Monday evening next. The occasion will ill
the house as it was never filed before, for
there is very general opinion that the pro-
ceedings will be very interesting. If, there
charge of five dollars admission (and upon this
charge the house will be crammed), with the
understanding that the clear receipts shall be
given to the Founding Hospital in care of the
Sisters of Charity, 1t will be equal, perhaps,
stitution. And why not, then, have it SO?
Such opportunities for charity seldom occur,
and they should not be neglected.

A NEW STATE BARBER.-In their frantic
contortons upon their defeat the silk stocking
and rough and tumble democracy have brought
new State barber on the carpet. 1t is in the
person of Mr.. A. ID. Barber, who is styled
skiing of the Lobby" after the manner Of the
old State Barber Of thirty odd years ago.
Revolutions always bring some new face upon
the surface of politics. In this case the Barber
has been completely shaved for the scalpers
have taken his entire head off, and tumbled IT,
with Hank Smiths, into the Street Commits
siOner's basket.

longer serve them they will hoist him, if they
get the power, over the balwarks of tho Street
Department to make room for Genet or
Creamer. Poor Mclean

the placer is, however, will they not be likely

when they leave the Chinese come along and

WOW Of the Tammany sachems and braves will
be held at the Wigwam in Fourteenth street.

knives as well as that Of wampum may be dis
cussed amid the soothing influences Of the pipe

The Legislature Yes,erday.

'Grim visaged war" continues to make
fearful faces In both branches OF the Leglsla-
ture. The clouds that lowered upon the
House have not yet lifted. A partial truce
has resulted from the dreadful exhaustion of
Wednesday but the hostile combatants still
make mouths at one another. Mr.. Genet yes
terdsy proposed bill in the Senate to prevent
fraudulent voting, and Mr.. Tweed objected;
whereupon Genet made bis mouth at Tweed
by intimating that he was not surprised at that
Senator objecting. He also made mouth at
Hank Smith, showing his teeth this time with
cannibalisiic intentions. He offered a resolu-
ton declaring Smiths position as Police Com
missioner vacant, and proposing on election
on the 9th of April to flll the vacancy The
resolution, however, was laid over under the
rule. Then Mr.. Creamer, who represents the
cream Of the muscular democracy, denounced
the controlling politicians Of New York as
robbers, and looked as sour as curdled milk
while he recounted their intrigues. "Giye
New York an election lazy that will prevent
Frauds" said he, ''and it will get along without
new Charter" AT this the republicans
smiled complacenty and all democratic belli-
gerents made faces.
Mr. Frear reported the Brooklyn Police bill
last night In the Assembly, where there had
been an omnous calm all day. Mr.. Jacobs
asked that It be made q special order for
to-day, but Mr.. Alvord came up as smiling
and rosy as we'll groomed prize fighter, and
objected. He had serious doubts whether the
Metropolitan Police district would be abolished
this session, and therefore considered the
Brooklyn bill useless. Mr.. Hustled also fol-
lowed in Mr.. Alvord's view, and Mr.. Jacobs
said he could not see why these republican
members should presume to talk for the
majority Of the House. The resolution was
lost, and Mr.. Jacobs probably got a better in
sight into the cause Of the presumption Of the
republicans. AS it was, these latter remained
complacent and smiling as in the Senate,
evidently comprehending that the longer the
fight went on the better for them. Late at
night, however, the demoralzed democracy
made an effort to pick up the pieces, and
caucus of some Of the young democrats was
held, at which, after an urgent invitation, Mr.
Tweed and his friends consented to be pre-
sent A compromise was effected, but on
what basis has not yet been learned.

MORE PATENT PAYMENTS. There is
hardly any nuisance so intolerable to the
property owners of the metropolis as the
mania for experimentalizing upon street pave
ments which seems to possess our City Fathers.
Hardly week passes without some new job
of the kind being developed and foisted upon
the sorely oppressed taxpayers without any
regard for their wishes or interests. The pas
sage, over the Mayors veto, of two resolutions
on Monday authorizing the pavement of streets
is an instance. The number of expert
ments in this matter is assuming bewildering
proportions, and from the experience we have
had in the Fifth avenue swindle, it is time
that some limits be placed on such jobs. The
Broadway pavement has proved the only
satisfactory one of these experiments, many
Of the others being intolerable nuisances.
The Legislature should look into the matter
and come to the relief of the indignant pro-
perty owners Of the metropolis.
