II Is unfortunate that no great reform in
civilized communities can be reached nor any
great wrong righted without some person or
persons FIRST becoming victims. 1t Is so in the
case of the murdered Mr.. Putnam. That the
management Of our public conveyances has
been entrusted to improper hands has for a
long time been notorious, apd 1t perhaps re-
quired some signal act like that perpetrated
by the murderer Foster to arouse our citizens
to the necessity Of adopting some measures
tending to protect themselves from assassina-
tion and their wives and daughters from
insult. Now that the community Is fully
awakened on the subject we trust the agta-
tion will not be allowed to cease until the city
railroad companies are in some manner made
responsible for the good conduct of their
employees, particularly conductors and car
drivers. Moreover, we trust our authorities
and criminal prosecutors will take timely pre-
cautions 10 see that justice is not cheated Of its
due in the case in hand. II Is understood that
money will not be wanted, nor legal talent de-
6cicnt, to shield Foster from the punishment he
80 richly merits. An example against ruffian-
ism must be made, and better subject could
not be secured than Ia tae person Of tho
murderer R9w 10 sas.sly,

A cable despatch, which we print this
morning, announces the fact that the Minister
of Instruction in the Austrian Reichsrath
yesterday declared that the government had
taken position in favor Of the abolition Of the
Concordat with Rome. 1t Is added that the
Reichsrath will now consider the practical
consequences to the empire of the dogma of
infallibility. Remembering what Austria Was
up until 1859, we must regard this piece of
news as full of hope. Sadowa gave Won
Beust power, and all honest men must admit
that his influence has gone on the liberal side.
Dr.. D6llinger, as all our news has shown, is as
much q favorite in Vienna as he is In Munich.
This expression of feeling in the Austrian
Reichsrath against the Concordat and not In
favor of infallibility means that Rome is no
longer to be regarded as the worlds
centre Francis Joseph to-day is .
wiser man than he was in 1848, and
Francis Joseph, with his larger wisdom, says,
with the full consent of his subjects, 'sNo more
Concordats." Italy united and strong, and
not in sympathy with Papal sovereignty;
France defeated, demoralized and a worlds
shame; Protestant Germany omnipotent-
all these things have opened the eyes of Aus
trian statesmen and exercised some influence
on the chief Of the House of Hapsburg. Time
was when the Pope Of Rome distrusted the
people; time was when the present Emperor
of Austria hated the people; but immense as
was the power of the one and the other, the
popular cause has so been adding victory to
victory that the Pope and the Kaiser have
both found 1t necessary to court popular favor.
The poor Pope, an old man, worn out and
fond of rest, has unhappiIy committed him
self and bis cause to infallibility. Francis
Joseph, yet comparatively young man, finds
out and admits his mistakes. The attitude of
Italy, the condition Of France, the gathering
strength of the new German empire, all give
significance to this Austrian movement and
the lesson is that the Papacy in its ancient sense
is no more. The first Napoleon humbled but
used the Papacy; the treaties Of Vienna gave
1t new point of departure the second French
empire saved it aud propped it /; the D6llinger
movement has all but killed it, and unless the
Pope and his friends make up their minds to
make concessions and chime in with popular
sentiment the Papacy will be put in perma-
uent trouble. If the Papacy is wise the
opportunity is not yet lost.

The Investment of Paris-Progress Of the
Siege Operations.

The Investment Of Paris-Progress Of the
Siege Operations.
Marshal MacMahon is steadily pushing his
operations against the positions Of the In
surgent forces. He is giving the forts upon
the south Of Paris particular attention, and
the assaults upon different points are resisted
with great stubborness. The bitter enmity
existing between the troops of the government
and those Of the Commune render the contest
q most bloody one, the latter having lost In
killed, by the bayonet alone, in the attack
upon Clamart, over three hundred men. No
quarter is given by the former and none is
asked by the latter. The fight is hand to
hand, breast to breast, and ends only in death
or mortal wound. There will probably be
no attempt at an assault or nearer approach 70
the city in any direction until after the
southern forts are reduced. The minor
engagements on the west Of Paris amount to
nothing, comparatively. A few affairs OF out
posts have occurred at Neuilly, but both par
ties remained in their positions, and there is
nothing to indicate at present further ad-
vance in that direction. The heavy lombard
ment against Fort d'Issy is maintained, and
the others to the eastward receive full share
Of attention from the government batteries.
The news of the surrender of all of them or
their being carried by storm may be received
at any moment, and when II occurs there will
be an important change In the programme.
The siege guns then will be advanced to
within easy preaching distance Of the e'ceinte
and the southern part Of the city will come in
for its share of projectiles. The prospect of
peace appears to be as far removed as ever,
and there is evidently no chance of Its being
brought about except at the point of the
bavOnet

Fish, II those Canadian Fenian raid claims
have been touched upon in the delibera-
tions Of the High Commission, has settled
them in simple reference to the claims of
American neutrality in this business.
It Is given out, however, that Mr.. Senator
Sumner will stoutly oppose this Alabama set
tlement on the ground that it does not touch
the main question-England's great offence
to us in connection with our rebellion, in the
matter of belligerent rights. Against the
Clarendon-J johnson treaty Mr.. Sumner con-
tended that England, In her application OF
belligerent rights to JEFF Davis, was morally
responsible to us to the extent Of at least q
thousand millions Of dollars, and that she must
at least apologize for this great wrong. For
ten years she has stubbornly contended that
in this thing Of belligerency she did no wrong
according to law, and it is evident that if we
stick to Mr.. Summers legal argument as our
ultimatum upon this question we never can
have q settlement short of war, turning,
perhaps, our own country into political confu-
sion, and deranging the affairs Of the whole
civilized world.
General Grant, then, in dropping this ex-
treme demand Of Mr.. Sumner, has given the
cue to our side Of the High Commission,
whereby we have the agreement indicated in
a practical, common sense business view Of the
facts and the situation. The treaty,
we understand, will embrace pro-
vision defining the duties of the high
contracting parties as neutrals in the
future, and abandoning only that extreme
issue of Mr.. Sumner, upon which there can be
no retroactive agreement. We think that upon
the issues presented, and upon the points we
have indicated, the treaty agreed upon by the
Joint High Commission, as we understand it,
covers the whole ground practically In dis
| pute, and presents plan of settlement fair
and honorable to both sides. What, then,
becomes of manifest destiny9' We believe
In the manifest continental destiny of the
United States but we are strong and secure
in our position and increasing strength In
peace, and we can bide our time. ''Let us
have peace" then, for with peace, in co-opera-
ton with England and the new empire Of
Germany, and France restored to her senses.
we rule the commerce and civilization of the
globe; and the moral weight Of our institu-
tions meantime will carry the cause of popular
rights even in Ireland ''Let us have peace, y
and the United States, England and Russia
have but to say the word in order to establish
the law of civilization even in the empire of
China. Looking to these grand results, we
have high hopes of new and glorious era of
prevailing peace from the labors of the Joint
High Commission.

Tho Prosperity Of tho Herald.

Some of our contemporaries are much exer-
cised about the wondrous prosperity of the
HERALD. Sixty columns of advertisements,
given in the one day and printed the next,
make q show which, under the same condi-
sions, has had no parallel, so far as we know,
in the history of journalism. Quadruple
sheets during this busy season have been
with us more a necessity than ever. Our con-
temporaries know and feel, although they do
not confess 1t, that our enormous advertising
patronage is a substantial vote of confidence
in the HERALD. Why the New York public
should stand by us and cling to us in this man.
ner it is not difficult to answer. We stand by
them and by the whole American people. We
print great newspaper. In getting 1t up we
spare no expense Our money is freely given
out our agents in consequence are ndmerous
and everywhere--at least where they ought to
be-and we insist that they shall not be beaten.
In whatever point the interest of the public
centres our agent is there and whether it be
in London, Paris, Berlin, st. Petersburg, or
in the heart of China or on the heights of
Abyssinia, our agent must be ahead of all
rivals. AS cost is no hindrance his difficulty
is the less. This, however, is not all. The
HERALD calls no man, no party, no creed,
master. 1t is its pride, its glory to be inde-
pendent. Being Independent, we have the less
difficulty in being impartial. If our views OF
men and movements in the political, social,
mercantile and religious worlds do not always
please, they are at least our views, and that is
their value. The New York public and the
American people as whole have learned to
trust us, because they know that whatever
others may do we shall not betray their
interests. Our enormous advertising patron
age is not the principal proof Of the HERALDs
prosperity and power. More potent proof is
to be found in the fear of dishonest politicians
in the dread of tricky Cabinets, in the watch
fulness Of nations. In certain matters our
voice is as powerful in London as in New
York, in Pekin as in Washington. If we know
how to make great newspaper, how to re-
feet the times and to improve them by the
process of reflection, that may be a reason
for admiration, but it ought no. to be cause
of Jealousy. Much as the HERALD has done
and is doing, we look forward to greater
victories, because we feel the impulses and
outgoings of increasing strength.

The South Carolina Tempest.

The hot bloods of the Palmetto State are
forming rife clubs and organizing volunteer
militia companies and regiments. Our corre-
spondent, in his special despatch, says they have
been chartered as clubs only, but some have
armed themselves and others have humbugged
Governor Scott into letting them have arms
from the State arsenals. They have no avowed
purpose in thus organizing, but it seems
to be the accepted opinion among the old
scions Of chivalry there, who may be excused
for not comprehending that revolution has
passed over the land, that their sole aim and
object is to fight and sweep out of existence
the ''nigger" regiments that compose the
State National Guard. South Carolina has
always been an inconsiderate and thought
less State, as her notification acts under
Jackson and her ordinance of secession
under Buchanan have fully shown, and
such reinauguration of civil war may
actually be in contemplation among her
youthful Hotspurs. AS the le-bodied negroes
number thirty thousand more than the able
bodied whites the proposed opening of hostili-
ties is more honorable to their pluck than to
their discretion. The United States troops
seem to be concentrating in large force in
Columbia and Charleston, doubtless In pur-
suance Of the Presidents Ku Klux proclama-
tion, and we may safely depend upon them to
maintain peace among the people.

FOSTER, THE MURDERER OF PUTNAM, was
arraigned in the Court Of Oyer and Termner
yesterday, but his counsel asked that he be
allowed short delay, as he intended TO put
in special plea. Judge Cardozo finally con-
sented 10 postpone the case until to-day, when
a special plea, probably in reference to the
jurisdiction Of the Court and looking to o
change Of venue, in consequence Of the excited
state of the public mind in this city, will be
offered. The lawyers engaged for the defence
of Foster are among the best that the bar Of
our criminal courts affords, and they are not
likely to allow any technicalty or quibblc to
escape them which may by any possibility
offer their client tho slightest loophole Of
escape.

THE PARIS Commune AND THE DESTRUCTION
OF MONUMENTAL despatch from Paris says
that the Column in the Place Vend6me is to be
demolished on the Sth day Of May, and that
all the statues and other vestiges Of the mo-
narchical regime are TO be destroyed on the
same day. We have no reason to be surprised
at this, for we believe the Commune and Its
patellites to be capable of anything in the way
Of atrocity. The sth of May, then, is to be a
holiday of destruction with the Reds, and while
one gang is destroying the Column the others
win be demolishing nearly all that is beautiful
in Paris. They may, and probably will, wipe
out the Tuileries and the Louvre, and when
their hands are fairly in the work they had
better keep on and destroy all of Paris-makc
p big bonfire of it, and when the torch is ap-
piled to the last building and it is fairly on
nre, If they will only jump into the flames
There may be yet some hope for France.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE IN THE HOUSE OF
Commons The irrcpresslble champions of
&omans rights have again introduced the
question Of female suffrage into the House of
Commons. Mr. Mills, the prime mover of the
agitation, was, however, not there, or else we
should have heard some forcible arguments
In favor of the proposed measure. AS
IL Is. the bill fell through after
BONE lively and interesting discussion.
Mr.. Gladstone did his best to kill it by pro-
posing compromises sort Of qualified female
suffrage, which would be simply no suffrage at
all lie recommended that women should vote
by proxy-that is 10 say, their husbands or
pale protectors should vote fer them. Another
speaker called female suffrage IAN outrage
hpon womanhood," and gave thereby the coup
dc grGce to the bill. But the advocates of
emalc suffrage win never say fail, and the
Question will probably be revived again and
pgain in Parliament until British legislators
will concede the demands Of the strong minded
portion nf tho fair

The coal troubles have substantially ended,
the Wilkesbarre men having already returned
to work on the old basis, and the Pottsville
men having signifed their willingness to abide
by local arbitration, which is equivalent to
following the example of their Wilkesbarrc
friends. Thus the miners, after all their long
and earnest fight, have lost heavily. Some of
the cherished principles Of the trades union,
founded upon false premises, however, as we
have always held in our friendly advice to
the miners, have been overthrown, and
their long continued idlenesss has eaten up
their funds. The combinations of capital,
railroads, legislatures and courts have been
too powerful for them. II was an unequal
match from the first but if ever oppressed
workman or downtrodden nation had right
upon its side In rebellion the miners had right
upon theirs in their strike. The interests of
all the people Of the Atlantic sea coast were
directly identified with them in the struggle,
and the great powers of railroads and mono-
poles have been sufficient, for the present at
least, to overpower public sentiment and public
interest.
The Scranton men, it is stated in our
special despatch, are moody and sullen. They
have not yet given in, and still have faint
hope of some concession from the operators.
If they get none our correspondent intimates
that riot and revolution may ensue, and the
property of the operators and the mine owners
will be likely to suffer severely. Men driven
almost to desperation by hunger, as these men
are, are dangerous enemies; and we think
that the companies may yet find 1t to their in
terest to offer at once some generous conces-
sions. It is worth something pecuniarily to
have willing workers instead Of quarry slaves
in their mines, and generous concession may
not only prevent riot and destruction Of
property, but II may insure them more cheer
ful and, consequently, more Jealous laborcrs.
THE CoNUNDRUM OF THE CONNECTICUT
ELECTION will probably be solved next week.

into the alleged false counts in New Haven
and Enfield to decide who Is Governor Oh
