The Golden Age says 1T is not the
Orangenen, nor their special fanaticism,
whatever it is, that we care for, but the prin-
cple at stake. They stood the other day as
the representative of an idea-the idea of re-
ligious liberty in this republic. They had
just the same right to march in procession
through our streets, with banners and music
and symbolic devices, as any other body of
men that tread our soil and breathe our air.
And when the authorities of our city forbid
their doing so, they struck blow at all that
makes American independence worth the
having. 1t was not men, it was liberty that
the municipal authorities tried to murder.
And thank God the blow has recoiled with
fatal effect upon the heads of the men who
dealt it. Well may they trembe at the doom
they have written for themselves and the
party they represent. 1t is the fate of some
men to be remembered"

men of our exploring expedition lead us to
these estimates from preliminary reconnois-
sance of single route between the waters of
the Atrato and the Tuyra. Each Of these
rivers has numerous branches interlocking in
The sinuosities of the slender backbone Of the
Continent in that quarter. and it is believed
that still lower connecting depression than
that discovered will be found.
But the route indicated as reported will do.
We conclude from our correspondents details
of it that it is available for ship canal, by a
through cut at less than half the cost Of the
Suez Canal. In other words, we estimate
that ship canal by the Darien route indi-
Gated, whereby ship may sail straight
through from ocean to ocean without lockage,
may be excavated at half the cost required to
open the Suez Canal. We believe, TOO, that
when opened the trade of this Darlen will be
fifty times that of the Suez Canal. We have
great hopes of the complete success Of this
exploration in the route suggested, and with
its success the dullest landsman will begin to
comprehend the advantages of st. Domingo as
the halfway house between New York and the
Gulf of Daren.

The Coming Yachting Season.

We publish in another part of the paper
several articles on yachting, which indicate
that stirring times may be expected during the
coming season among our yachtmen. A
number of large aud beautiful vessels are
about being added to the feet, and descrip-
tions of several of them have been given Mr..
George Lorillard's new yacht, the Enchantress,
Is about leaving on an extended cruise to the
Azores and tho Mediterranean. She will
return, however, In time to take part in the
operations of the feet this summer. Mr..
Louis Lorillard's yacht, the Wanderer is
nearly ready fer launching at Greenpoint.
The yacht Dreadnaught is about in the same
state of forwardness, and for some time to
come we shall be hearing of the launches
of these elegant vessels that are destined
to increase the reputation of our yachts, both
at home and abroad 1t is very evident that
our yachtmen have not been idle since their
vessels went out of commission, Judging from
what we hear from New London and from our
immediate vicinity. Building. alteration, re-
fitting and repairing are the order of the day,
and all are striving to be in readiness for the
time when spring announces that pennants are
to be again hoisted and our feet of magnificent
pleasure vessels is to be placed once more in
sailing trim. The next season will show what
experience has done to benefit naval construc-
ton. Every effort has been made to improve
upon the past, and we look forward with great
interest to see if any OF the new ideas that
have been carried out will prove as successful
as is now anticipated.

ME-. DREAMER IN THE STATE SENATE pro-
brokers take out licenses and deposit security
with the State that they will observe the pro.
visions of the law. These favored individuals
have enjoyed unbridled license in many i'm
portant events wherein they figured, and on
riot, and it is soothing to know that they will
have to pay for their license in future.
The New York herald., 1871-03-01

DINING DIPLoMAcY.-If it is an established
fact that dinners are the most persuasive
element in diplomacy-and we believe they
are-then we may conclude that the Joint
High Commission in Washington will settle all
the vexing questions they are expected to
adjust with no difficulty whatever, if their
siomachs hold out Minister Thornton opened
the discussion yesterday with most
effective presentment of his side of
the case in the way of dinner to
all the Commissioners now in Wash
jugton. He is to be followed this evening
by Secretary Fsh's sweeping statement Of
our demands in the shape Of another dinner.
On Thursday ard Saturday Earl de Grey
will follow up Minister Thornton's argument,
and next week all the British Commissioners
will present their facts in the same way.
President Grant is to take hand In the
argument next week also, and it is possible
that by that time il the Alabama claims are
not settled all the Commissioners will be
.'busted."

South AMERICA IN SUPPORT OF THE
PoPE.-By a special correspondence from
Guayaquil we learn that President Moreno, Of
Ecuador, has forwarded to Florence an official
protest against the action of King Victor EN-
manuel towards the Pope. The paper is
couched In the most decisive words of devoted
neal to the Chair of Peter. The early mission
ary labors of Pho Mono in Peru have endeared
him personally to the South American peoples
Independent Of his position as Head of the
Church.

GOLD llO2.-The gold market, which has
pursued a devious and uncertain course ever
since the war broke out in Europe last summer,
is yielding to the normal influences of peace the
world over. The great spring rise in the gold
market has SO far been delusion to those who
based their calculations upon such con-
tingency Yesterday the price declined to
llOa, much to the chagrin of the "bnlls, who
are greatly exercised over Mr.. Boutwelrs
policy of lowering gold and enhancing bonds
preliminary to refunding the five-twenties

Mr. WAsHBURNE DURING THE SIEGE OF
PARs-We publish this morning letter
written by Minister Washburne to Secretary
Fish reporting his official acts during the
siege of Paris. Every person interested will
be gratified to learn that Mr.. Washburne sue
cessfully protected and preserved all the
property of Americans left under his charge.
The most cordial support was given him by
the authorities, and he was thus enabled to
prevent the occupation of apartments belong
ing 10 Americans and to influence the
abandonment of the project to tax the pro-
perty of absentees. Mr.. Washburne also
afforded protection to Germans and to the
Prussian Legation, in doing which he incurred
the hostility Of some Of the Parisians and was
denounced at the clubs and in the press. But
nothing was attempted to inconvenience him
or annoy him. Indeed he states that he is
we'll satisfied with having remained in Paris
during the siege.
The New York herald., 1871-03-01

THE COOLEST THING OUT-The agitation at
this time of the American spoliation claims
against France for depredations prior to 1900.
IF France would not pay them in her most
prosperous days she is not likely to do SO now,
at least not until that little bill the Emperor OF
Germany has against her is liquidated.

HERALD's special correspondent at Havana
we learn that the case of Seior Zenea is still
before the Spanish Court Martial, and that the
probabilities are he will be condemned, not
withstanding the desire on the part Of the
pity ii, with so many ex'enuating circum
stances, he should be found guilty, and we
cannot but hope that the humane policy of
Valmaseda will influence those who compose
the members of the court to a degree sufficient
to secure his acquittal.

THE INCOME TAX REPEAL BTLL-ARTFUL
DoDGING. good, honest souls in the
House of Representatives who don't want the
income tax repealed and don't want to 60 upon
the record against it have invented very
neat dodge to secure its continuance and still
retain the good graces of their constituents
The Senate, it will be remembered, passed it,
being mindful Of the demands of the people
but the House, although protesting almost
unanimously an anxiety to pass it at once,
suddenly felt great respect for parliamentary
etiquette and raised the point that the Senate
had no right to originate such bill. A con-
ference committee on the subject was de-
manded, and now the conference committee
sticks to the same point. This was pretty
artful dodging, and, like lie, we suppose it
is as good as the truth if well stuck to. But
1t is shame that parliamentary Juggling like
this should defeat this bill every session when
the people and the press so loudly demand its
passage.

CORRESPONDENT alleges improper atten-
ton on the part Of officials at Blackwelps
Island toward patient-a young artist named
Voty-received there supposed to be laboring
under an attack of varioloid. It is stated that
although he was very feeble he was obliged to
walk through mud and water to the hospital,
in consequence Of which he caught additional
cold which ended in his death. The case re-
quires investigation at the hands of the Com
missioners of Charities and Public Institutions.

DENNY BURNS, Of the Assembly, wants q
bridge across the Hudson from the upper part
Of this city, new Weehawken ferry and q
new city prison in the Sixth ward. Denny
has very gorgeous ideas now and then, but
he excels himself in regard to his Hudson
River bridge. The new Weehawken ferry
and the new city prison are good, substantial
ideas, which we hope Denny will see realized.

proper proportion of the debt incurred by
the city Of New York for local and permanent

JAMAIoA.-By special telegram from the
HERALD's correspondent at KinsOson we
learn that the direct steamship communica-
ton with New York is nfusng new life into
that colony. Italian opera is also adding
gaycty to the usually quiet life of Jamaica. A
little row between the French and Prussian
consuls has formed an exciting topic Of con-
versation; but the war ended without more
than words. The colonial government is
paying particular attention to the conduct of
the colored population, with view to placing
the deserving in situations under it. The
authorities are moving against the squatters,
and are also taking possession of all property
unrepresented and renting it out to persons
who will give it care and attention. Jamaica
is evidently waking up, and gives promise Of
renewed prosperity.

The BiS Jobs OF tho Legislature.

The act to reopen the assessments for the
widening and Strengthening Of Broadway,
which provides in effect that the frauds dis
covered in the old assessment shall be filmed
over rather than altogether erased, and the
act to give New York fresh supply of pure
and wholesome water, which substantially
gives to one or two persons high in the con-
fdence and leadership Of the ring the right to
purchase the fountainheads of the Croton
aqueduct, have both been signed by Governor
Hoffman, and are therefore both laws of the
State already in effect.
We hold that it was serious mistake on the
part of Governor Hoffman to approve those
bills OF course the democratic ring
and the ringleaders are beyond the reach
of censure. Their political lives hang upon
the breath of the democratic master mind of
all, and he orders these things to be and they
are. But Governor Hoffman, by his position
and his well-won honors, is lifted far above
the mere jobbers of the party, and he has
much to lose by his action in this matter
which the originators of the bills in the Legis-
after all, most to blame for the passage
Of these jobs are the country republicans, who
hold the balance of power in the two houses
balance 80 delicately adjusted that Mr..
Jacobs one or two extra drinks with too
convivial companion on the night of the New
Hamburg disaster was all that saved the
democracy three weeks ago from kicking the
beam. These republicans sold themselves
shamelessly on both these jobs, some of them
doubtless taking the bribe with ready hand
and brazen face, while the more decorous
turned their heads away and heard the silver
pieces chink in their pockets These are the
men who deserve tue greatest censure. With
the democrats we look upon it as matter of
course. They are not expected to cut away
from their ring just on account of a job or
two, and yet it was known in Albany at the
republican caucuses preceding the vote upon
these bills that there were several honest
democrats willing to join with honest republi-
cans for the defeat of the two jobs. AS the
republicans would not join with them they saw
the bills must pass, and they voted for them
rather than 60 down upon 'Tweed's black
list" and be shut out of Tammany forever
upon mere abstract principle of right. The
Governor, we think, has made grave error,
which will extend in its future effects far
beyond the limits of this city or this State
but the republicans of the Legislature are the
ones who deserve the fullest share Of blame
for the success of the Broadway widening and
the water supply Jobs.

Tho News from Francc.

The terms of peace agreed upon between
Theirs and Bismarck were read to the French
Assembly on yesterday They are substan-
tiolly the same as those unofficially reported.
One-ifth of Lorraine, including Metz and Thi-
onvile, and all of A.sace except Belfort, goes
to Germany. Nothing is said about Longwy
being included in the cession, as stated in the
special despatch to the London Times. We
incline to the opinion that only part Of the
departments Of the Moselle and Meurthe, with,
perhaps, narrow strip of the Vosges, in
Lorraine, has been ceded. The extent of ter
ritory is not large, but it is of great strategic
Importance.
Paris continues intensely agitated over the
intended entry of the German army. Cau-
tiously worded as are our reports from the
city it is evident that serious disorders pre-
vail. The murder of policeman, invasion Of
st. Pflagie Prison, the denunciations of the
government and the appeals OF the press for
calmness and dignity, prove the gravity Of the
situation. At ten o'clock this morning the
entry will take place. 1t is IN un-
wise, impolitic act; but we trust it
will be unattended by bloodshed. We
shall not be surprised, however, If the most
deplorable scenes are witnessed, notwithstand-
ing the belief that there will be no conflict.
With the National Guards belligerent and the
regulars discontinued it will not require much
provocaton to preciptate conflict between
the victorious Germans and the Parisians
Such struggle can have but one termination;
hence the authorities of Paris owe it to the
non-combatants and to the city itself to make
herculean efforts to preserve order.
An evidence of how thoroughly prepared
the Germans are for a resumption of hos
tilities was given yesterday when they
attacked Havre, in ignorance of the prolonga-
ton of the armisiice. The fighting ceased as
soon as they were notified of the arrangement
between Theirs and Bismarck; but the energy
of their movem ents must have made a power
full impression on the French while it lasted.
