A War Cloud in Chinn.

From China, by means of cable reports from
Europe, we are informed that the native
Chinese and imperialists at Tien-tsin and in
warlike attitude towards foreigners. The
representatives of the great European Powers
in Shanghae have become alarmed. and, as it
appears in the kilograms, the English, French,
Italians and some few other peoples resident
away out there are likely to suffer equally.
The Chinese are cunning diplomatists. They
have heard of the war in Europe, and
seek to become retrOgrade In their deal
ings with the 'Outside barbarians," just
on account of the divisions which exist among
the foreigners. How would it do to turn the
tables with the Chinese2 France and Prussia
have valuable interests in China; interests Of
commerce, of religion and humanity in general.
England, Italy, Spain, Russia and others of
the neutrals are already there. We would
recommend France and Prussia to shake hands
in Tien-tsin and make peace, and then
for all parties to 60 straight to Pekin
and there find out reliable copy of
the code Confucius, read what the great philo-
sopher and philologist of the East has had to
say about war, about peace, and on the sub
ject of public equity, citizen allegiance, and
territorial integrity and the general balance
Of the world. If the Europeans do this they
may be able to collate from the Chinese writings
an entirely new system of national and inter-
national polity for the different countries, and
thus sweep away the inextricable meshes OF
legal, judicial and executive rubbish which
now perplexes the crowns and confuses the
peoples.

Spnin md CuAa.

Spain has begun to send her fall nstalments
of troops to Cuba. Some have already been
despatched and others are preparing to leave.
Yet, with all this display-for display it is and
nothing more-we learn that the Captain Gene
raj wants to resign, and his resignation is even
now in the hands of the Spanish Ministry. No
one knows better than De Rodas that the
time will not be sufficient to suppress the revo-
luton in the interior of Cuba. The republic
cans in the Peninsula, too, have of late been
showing their hands, and their strength is I'M
mistakable. The advent of French republic
has given them renewed vigor. All these
circumstances are an advantage to Cuba.
Republicans the world over sympathise with
each other, and it would be odd indeed ii the
republicans in Spain proved an exception to.
this rule. All this talk and show about rein.
forcements from Spain to put the finishing
touch on the Cuban revolution possesses but
the merest shadow of strength. The condition
of the Spanish treasury and the tone of the
Spanish people precludes the possibility of the
forwarding of sufficient soldiers to successfully
extinguish the Cuban desire for freedom. IL
the Cuban leaders are wise they will take adj
vantage Of the present opportunity
while they can and strike often. We have
now on our shores men who have done good
service to the Cuban cause on the battle fields
of the 80 -called ''Eyer Faithful Isle" Their
proper place at the present time should be in
Cuba. A few victories for the revolutionary
army will work wonders, achieve more than
diplomacy and possibly may secure indepen-

"What would the world be without Paris ?"
is the somewhat enthusiastic inquiry Of one Of
the writer's Of our day. ''What would Paris
be without news from the world outside ?" is
question that might DO asked with equal pro-
priety, since, although Paris be self-sunicing
with all channels of communication open,
Paris depends upon the admiration, visits
and patronage Of the masses Of man
kind, belonging to all nations, who admire
her elegance. her art, her pageantries and
her fascinating designations. But both
the world and Paris are about to suffer,
since the former is on the eve of being
cut off from its fashionable centre, and the lat
ter is on the eve Of being absolutely isolated.
The German vanguard is in the environs. and.
unless its movements be very suddenly
arrested, King William, the Crown Prince,
Prince Frederick Charles, Generals Won
Moltke, Steinmetz and the rest of them will
have drawn Gordon of fire and steel
around the French capital, entirely exclud-
ing all outside communication. As matters
already stand the German hosts have
begun to intercept communication between
Paris and the northern coast of France, so
that it is quite possible that Great Britain may
have to depend upon American channels for
the bulk of her news from the French republic
for two or three days, and that subsequently,
perhaps within single week-the Paris head
ing of Geographic dispatches may disappear
from our columns. This would ba. an eclipse
indeed. The most sceptical dsputants of the
importance of Paris and France to the Ameri-
n'republic, as centre of light and intelli-
gence in business, politics, literature, art,
fashion and even in war, would then have an
opportunity Of becoming convinced of their
error.
Business people who have financial and
other interests involved or at stake at the
great city would do well to set their houses in
order, SO far as their Partisan correspondence
is concerned. There is reason to fear that,
unless it has penetrating heat enough to burn
through the leather and the brass, the ''great
light" on the watchtower of European civiliza-
ton is on the eve of being, at least tempo
rarily, extinguished beneath the spike-topped
Prussian helmet.

THE MAINE ELECTION. republican
ticket has been successful again in Maine, as
it has uniformly been for many years. The
numerous outside issues have, however,
divided up the vote, so that except on the
questions of Governor and Congressman
every one seems to have voted without regard
TO party. Numbers of republicans interested
in the election of Chamberlain to
the United States Senate are reported
voting for democratic State Senator'S and
Representatives in the Legislature, while the
democrats seem GENERALLY to have followed
their time honoured rule of voting the straight
democratic ticket. There may consequently be
decrease in the republican majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature but as 1t stood last
year at one hundred and sixteen there is no
probability Of it's being so much reduced now
as to prevent the election of republican to
the United States Senate as the successor of
Senator Morrill, Governor Chamberlain and
Morrill, himself are the prominent candidates
for the honor

THE JAPANESE are making rapid advances
in civilization, and bid fair to rival even the
Yankee nation in the very item in which it
has heretofore stood pre-eminent. Two steam
boats in the harbor of Yeddo exploded their
boilers recently, causing great destruction of
human life. As is too frequently the custom
upon American waters, these terrible disasters
were caused by the criminal negligence of the
engineers

A PARTING BRoADsIDE. -Although Vice
President Colfax has averred his intention of
retiring to the shades of private life, he never
theless seems to have found time to deliver
one of the longest political speeches he ever
made, or any "other man" this quarter Of
century, the subject being ''What He Knows
About the Republican Party" If is to be
regarded as parting broadside it does very
well; but if it is simply bidding us farewell,
in order that he may remain long with us, "
then its charm is broken, and it passes away
to rest among the cobwebs Of other political
rubbish.

WHO GOES TO ENGLAND ?-The United States
of America at this momentous crisis in Euro
pean affairs should be represented in England
by minister competent and jealous in repre-
senting his country and the administration of
General Grant in behalf Of peace. We have
suggested Horace Greeley as the peace man
for this important post at this important time
but the administration does not respond.
What, then, says General Grant to General
Hiram Walbridge? His record is sound on all
the great questions involved in this mission,
in addition to the question of peace. In Feb
ruary, 1856, in Congress, General Walbridge
submitted some strong resolutions which cover
the universal American sentiment of this day
on neutral rights, the Monroe doctrine and
manifest destiny; and now as an active man
in American commerce we are sure that Gen
eral Walbridge fully understands the value Of
peace in Europe to the commercial world, with
all the rest Of mankind. Shall the English
mission, therefore, still 60 begging when such
a man may be had to fill it, or almost any
other man? That is the question.

A TELEGRAPHIO MIRAcLE-OR WHAT
The statement that FIVE hundred words

this city on one wire-thirty thousand words
IN hour seven hundred and twenty thousand
words in twenty-four hours-is confidently
made by an experienced telegraph man, by the
new automatic process. We have always pre-
dcted great things for the future Of tele-
graphy; but this seems almost like taking
time by the forelock. If this feat can be per-
formed to-day what may we expect from the
miraculous magnetic wire hundred years
hencep Puck has to look out for his laurels
even now In few years from this time nc
will not have a leaf remaining.

A HEAVY FAMURE.-In commercial circles
the announcement was made yesterday of the
suspension of the dry goods commission house
of Francis Skinner & Co., with liabilities at
over four million dollars and assets estimated
at about fifty cents on the dollar. The house
was well known in New York in former years,
but latterly has done business in Boston
almost exclusively The name is only
business cognomen, Mr.. Skinner having been
dead for some time, and the 60" embracing
a variety of partners. Their Indebtedness
was confined to the eastern mills and Boston
banks.

WENDELL PHILLIPS has consented to un-
dergo the Inconvenience of candidacy for
Governor of Massachusetts, not that he cares
to be Governor at all, but because, as he
says, he can see nothing in the platform of

him, from which to dissent, or about which to
scold-something which has probably not
occurred with him since the John Brown raid.

THE CRY CENsUs-IMPORTANr ACTION
RECOMMENDED BY THE MAYoR.-The Mayor
has submitted message to the Common
Council suggesting that the city authorities
order q new census to be taken in some por-
sions Of the city, in order to test the accu-
racy of the recent census taken by United
States census takers. He furthermore recon-
mends that if in these portions of the city the
discrepancy between the returns Of the fede-
raj and corporate authorities be found of mo-
ment that census of the entire city be taken.
The Mayor Celebrates upon the necessity of
the city authorities adopting his recommends
ton if they would avert the evil effects of
belittling the population Of the metropolis for
partisan purposes. In making this recon-
mendation the Mayor is quite right, and we
feel assured he will be sustained in it by the
great mass Of our intelligent and respectable
citizens.
