REPUBLICAN, FEUDS.

We often receive letters from good friends
at distance deplOring and protesting against
the discussions which they say are distracting
and paralyzing the Republicans of this State
We infer from these letters that their writers
have been reading other New-YOrk journals
than The TRIBUNE, and find our difficulties
emphasized and exaggerated in their columns
as they are not i'll ours
For the comfort of all anxious inquircrs, We
beg leave to assure cur compatriots in other
States that the Republicans of Newly are
not divided-that they are unit in devotion
TO Republican principles and in their fixed
resolve that their State shall contribute its
Electoral Votes to our next National triumph
in 1872. If we are overcome in that contest,
If can only be by gigantic frauds, such as over
,vbeImed us in 1868. If we can only have a
fair. legal yote-every legal vote counting ex-
actlv one. and not moro than Ten Thousand
net gain TO our adyersaries by repeating, Illegal
voting, and false cOunting-we cannot be beaten.
The feuds which have temporarily weak
ened us are all superficial. They grow out
Of some mistakes in appointments, with a
few grayer errors in the removal d true
and worthy Republicans by the same hand
that appointed them. These errors may
have alienated some support from the
Administration, but not from the party
which called it into being When we come 10
another Presidential contest, we shall nave
forgotten all our differences and be ready ior
a better fight than though We had not been
temporarily disabled.
We cannot cheat in elections as our adNer-

Prince Bismarck's late speech, announcing
the failure of the French to pay the first half
milliard of the indemnity, and denying that
the Germans were to retire from the Paris
forts, reveals the financial weakness of France
in terms strong enough to deter every sagacious
banker from investing in her funds. He de-
clares the Government unable to pay, not
merely the first hundred millions Of the in
demnity, but the cost of maintaining the Ger
man troops, $4,000 day, as the Prince roughly
estimates it. This speech, which we publish
elsewhere, reveals not only the stern policy to
he pursued toward France, but the manner Of
its reception betrays the hostile spirit which
still actuates the Germans against their beaten
enemy,
