Queen Victorias speech on prOrOguing Par
lament yesterday does not indicate that she
shares the anxiety of her people at the pros
pect of becoming involved in the French and
Prussian war But neither her mild and diplo-
matte language, nor the fact of the adjourn
ment of Parliament during the present import
ant crisis in France, shows indifference on the
part of the English Government to the pressing
danger. The Ministers have acted with great
caution and deliberation in taking steps to
assure the neutrality of Belgium, and have
resOrted to diplomacy only. There has been
no suggestion of the employment of force ex-
cept from the people in the first hours OF
excitement, and their indignant demand that
forces should be sent to Belgium was satisfied
by preparations for action, net action Itself.
Mr.. Gladstone has secured an extension OF
executive power and the adjournment of Par
lament, whose action might have embarrassed
him. 1t is clearly not his intention OF being
dragged, by the enthusiasm of the people or
the tactics of the Opposition, into any com
promising attitude toward either OF the
contending nations. England under Gladstone
will be as cold and passive as England under
PalmerstOn and will content herself with
making money ont of France and Prussia, as
she did out of the North and South

DEMOCRATIC HEROES.

The World having recited with enthusiasm
the achievements of Gen. William Terry a
lieutenant of StOnewall Jackson in the War
for Disunion, we questioned the propriety and
good taste of finding in Gen. Terry's or any
mans efforts to divide and humiliate our
country reasons for electing him to the Con-
gress of the United mot Confederate States.
The World doesn't see it, but responds:
"The part Of the recital to which THE TRIBUNE takes
execution relates TO Cen Terrys officer in
the Confederate army. He such an officer, trusted
and energetic one; and The World sees no good reason
why should have been expected to Withhold tat act
from its readers Nay more The World sees no reason
why that fact should be impedment to Gen. Terry $
election"
But THE TRIBUNE did not urge that
" fact" as an impediment." 1t only suggested
that setting forth Gen. TeTy's efficiency and
success in repelling and killing the soldiers of
the Union as a reason for now electing him to
the Congress of that Union was unpatriotic and
1--WE trusN maladrot. Only realize that we
would not have had The World " withhold that
fact from its readers" but refrain from
making it ground of commendation, and we
| submit the case without argument.
We are here reminded that The World,
while formally protesting to favor the War
for the Union has never, since it became a
Democratic organ, missed an opportunity to
| glorify the more efficient leaders of the Rebel
hosts, nor to assail and disparage those who
struck telling blows on the side of the Union.
1t has strewn flowers in profusion over the
graves of Stonewall Jackson, but has not had
even daisy for those of Mcpherson, Wads-
worth and Lyon. 1t has lavished adulation on
the living, prosperous Lee; while it has scarce
ly allowed day to pass without heaping in
sut and obloQuy on the memory of the mur-
dered Lincoln. OF course, it expects to make
Democratic votes by this partiality, and per-
haps it will. 1t is very welcome to such as this
policy is calculated to win.

We give this morning on another page the
list of the IS bishops who, in the memorable
session of the Vatican Council of July 13,
voted against the new dogma of the lnfal-
bility of the Pope as well as those who yielded
only conditional assent by voting jartd
mOdam These lists are highly instructive.
Of the former class, 25 bishops belong to
Austria and the same number to France, II to
Germany, 8 to the British DOminiOns, to
Italy, to the Oriental rites of Turkey, and
only to the United States. Relatively the
strongest opposition came from Germany, about
one half of all the bishops voting in the mega
tive. Austria and France also gave strong
negative vote, which, however, fell considera-
bly, short of one half of the total episcopal
vote of these countries. Thus the new dogma
has the support of the majority of bishops in
every country except Germany. If, however,
Hungary is considered Independent OF the
remainder of Austria, its opposition Is much
more compact than even that of Germany.

It is to be hoped that the police are not de
pending upon the developments of the inquest
for clue to the murderer of Mr.. Nathan.
Thus far there have been 10 facts established
upon which the shrewdest detective could base
a theory which if pursued would promise a
successful solution of the mystery. The ex-
animation yesterday of Mr.. Frederick Nathan
revealed little which the public does not
already know, and nothing which suggests
any explanation Of the affair.

excuse for the precipitation of train down

be walled up with rough stone to a

II is hardly an exaggeratiOn to say that Tor
the present the French Empire has ceased TO
exist. Napoleon's attempt to appease an angry
and threatening pOpulace by sacrificing
an unlucky General and subser-
Went Ministry is not successful The
people look upon him as the cause
of ali their humiliation. They denOunce him
openly. They have no hesitation in asking
his abdication. He has no longer the direction
of the country. No reference to him is found
in the debates on the situation except re-
quest that he will return to Paris
and await the peoples pleasure. The
Corps L6gislatif threatens to resolve itself
into National Convention, assumes the en-
tire responsibility of the national defense, and
already contemplates the idea of taking the
sovereign power away from an incompetent
ruler, and intrusting it to a military
dictator who shall be charged, as the
Roman consuls were of old in hours OF
extraordinary peril, to see that no evil happen
TO the commonwealth. The Prince Imperial
has fled to London, and Napoleon, sick as he
is, dares not leave the camp. Practically his
authority is at an end, and it is not easy to
see how he ever can recover it, for victory
which might quel the dangerous excitement OF
the Paris populace would rebound not to his
honor, but to his generals. The Emperor has
proved conclusively his incapacity as a soldier,
and upon what, except military renOwn, can a
Bonaparte dynasty resti If fortune should
once more smile upon him. he may hold yet a
while longer the scepter which he stole in 1851;
but even the army must have lost faith in him
now, and he has no hold whatever upon power
except in the dissensiOns of parties and the
difficulty of finding his successor. If France
had one great general, approved great by sue
cess, Napoleon would have to abdicate to-day.

Napoleon now and then does bold and
manly deed witch no one can help admiring.
We think his conduct after the defeat of Mac
Mahon and FrOssard was in one respect manly,
for be told the truth and frankly asked the
people to help him. His behavior now, III the
face of the danger in Paris, shows boldness
if not good judgment, for he meets the revolt
by appointing thoroughly reactiOnary Minis
try which may be trusted to uphold him in
any despotic enterprise. But he has gone so
far that even the unaccustomed virtues OF
truth snd courage will hardly save him now.

French officials are as obnoxious abroad as
they appear to be at the present moment in
the French Capital. The French Consul at
Canton, China, was threatened by a mob of
Chinese on July 81, and escaped injury only
by seeking protection under the British flag.
The immediate cause of the riot is not stated
in the dispatches, but it is evident from this
affair and others of a more serious nature at
Pcling recently announced, that the hostility
of the Chinese to French citizens and officials
is deeply rooted and intense.
