For some time past 1t has been well understood

ments, are 10 be brought forward and pushed
through at the next session Of The Legislature The
most important scheme affecting the interests OF
the taxpayers or Westchester county is the pro.
jected incorporation OF the towns OF Morrisania
West Farms, Westchesler and the lower section OF
Yonkers with the city Of New York. 1t is UNDER
stood that numerous residents OF the towns named
not only favor the annexation OF the sections indi

1t Is also suggested that canal be cut from Tho

be possible, that the war is not made upon
them, and that peace is desired between these
tive great nations, living in the very centre of
Europe Unless this be done Prussia may suffer
terribly YET Notwithstanding her successes !;
for II the revolutionary elements Of France
should take control of affairs, and the nation
be aroused to its very depths, there will be
such an avalanche OF fury as may make Europe
tremble. Indeed, the Prussan monarchy, as

Dreadful as the present crisis is, we are not

The War News.

Up to the time we write the news from the
seat of war is rather unnteresting concerning
decisive events. Since Saturday there does
not appear to have been any fighting. Pre-
parations for a great battle go vigorously on
on both sides. Between now and Sunday we
expect to hear Of great fight, which may
determine the immediate future and put an
end, for the present, 20 the struggle.
The new Ministry which has succeeded to
that of Olivier seems to inspire confidence. II
is a purely Napoleonic Ministry. There are
some who crow loudly over this, as if it were a
vote Of confidence in the empire. Those per-
sons forget that no other Ministry was possible
in the circumstances. Every person in power
in France, from the Prime Minister down to
the humblest Official is Bonapartist. This is
a last vigorous effort II will be all right if
Napoleon can win battle before Monday.
But if he does not win battle before Monday
the Count Paikao will be counted ont as
ignominiously as was Olivier. The mob in
Paris, the rising in Marseilles, the proclama-
ton Of the republic at Toulouse, are ominons
signs and they are not good for Napoleon.

A QUARANTINE WAR is threatening unless
Perth Amboy as port is abolished without
delay. The infamy Of which the authorities
ut that port are guilty was brought to
climax recently by their permitting the bark
Wavelet, from Rio Janeiro, yellow fever
port, to come to the dock in Brooklyn without
the necessary disinrection. The captain and
owners Of the vessel were impudent to DR..
Carnochan and refused to return her to
Lie lower bay. Thereupon DR.. Carnochan
took handful of Quarantine police,
fully armed, cut the vessel out from her moor
ings at the dock and carried her back to
Quarantine. The movement was surprise,
rs there is every indication that the crew
would have resisted, and bloodshed would
have ensued. The infamy of the proceedings
On the part of the Perth Amboy authorities
md of the owners of the vessel is clearly
ghoyn. when ii is remembered that yellow
fever has been introduced into Philadelphia
by similar means.

Army SURGEONS AS PRIVILEGED NoN-CoM-
BATANTs. 1t was German convention (not,
according to an erroneous cable despatch to
the Associated Press, q Geneva" conven-
tion) which Instituted a corps of volunteer
surgeons, wearing white badges and humanely
entitled to the privileges OF non-combatants.
At the battle Of Sadowa, as well as the other
day at the battle Of Ferscheville corps Of
volunteer surgeons, distinguished by white
cockades, rendered praiseworthy service. The
slightest mitigation of the horrors Of war
merits notice. The convention agreed upon
between Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and the
minor German States during the war Of 1866
seems not to have been forgotten by Prussia
in the present war with France, so far as
army surgeons are concerned.

BLAcKMAILING. Judge Bowling made an
astounding assertion yesterday, in his astound-
ing way, relative to blackmailers. He said
that seemingly intelligent and reputable men
make it business to follow rich and promi-
nent men to places Of i'll repute. and then ex-
tort money from then under threats of expo
sure. He mentioned, without giving the
name, an ex-State Senator from Kings county
az one Of these blackmailers. Such an infa-
nous calling certainly deserves the rigid
handling that Judge Bowling usually gives to
all crimes that come under his notice; but he
has made an assertion that all the ex-State
Senators of Kings county not guilty will de-
mand to have investigated.

STORM SIGNALS. s.--The HERALD has often
insisted on the Importance and the prac-
tcability Of organizing a system for
observing storms and reporting them by
telegraph and by signal for the benefit
of commerce. 1t is therefore gratifying to
learn that under the authority of the Secre-
tary of War the Chief Signal Officer of the
army is empowered to enlist several competent
persons, to be appointed as commissioned
officers in the army, whose duty it shall be to
make such observations and to transmit them
by telegraph and signal at various points on
the northern lakes and along the seaboard.
Not only vast amount of treasure but many
lives will be saved by the successful carrying
out OF this system. Moreover, the work OF
these new officers, while il is thus of great
practical as well as great scientific value, will
leave them leisure for reading and study. 1t
will also be literally remunerated, and appli-
cations for the limited number Of appointments
to be made may be addressed to the Chief
Signal Officer of the army, at Washington,
District of Columbia.

THE ERIE WAR ENDED.-It would seem,
from appearances, that the great railroad war
between Erie and the Central, in which nearly
all the leading railroads Of the country had
become embroiled, has ended by treaty Of
peace, in which Vanderbilt succuinbs to the
powers Of Fisk. This treaty, it is further
said, provides for grand consolidation Or
alliance of all the railroads of importance in
The Union. Thus, we are likely to have
perpetuation Of those powerful monopolies
that actually threaten our independence as
people. The healthiest state of existence for
The railroad corporations is continual belli.
gerency. Peaceful alliances between them are
terrible on the people, and will continue SO
until Congress gets control of every line ia
Ihe Union.
