A Grand Jury Of Chicago has just como to
the conclusion, with regard to General Sheri-
dams conduct during and immediately afesr
the great flre, which jury Of the whole.
American people had come to previously.
NOT only has the General been exonerated
from the charges of Governor Palmer by the
Grand Jury, but it commends the action Of
Mayor Mason in calling to his aid the services
OF General Sheridan at that crisis, and de-
clares that the thanks of the community were
due to the General for the efficient aid ren5
dered by him to the regular police force ii
that trying emergency. It is lamentabIe
that high public officer cannot do noble
and necessary act IN remarkable exceptional
cases, where the only law to guide him is the
law of necessity, without being attacked and
even an effort being made to drag him before
the courts of law. The politicians inimical to
General Grant, and who ara endeavorng to
set him aside, carry their hostility even to his
friends and outside of politics. The friendship
between the President and Sheridan had more
to do with the attempt to prosecute the latter,
probably, than any regard for maintaining the
strict letter Of the law. However, as we said,
a Chicago Grand Jury has rendered verdict
that the whole American people approve.

TIE REoKPT1oN TO ALEXIS yesterday was
the most generous ovation that We have ever
rendered to q scion Of royalty. The greeting
10 the Prince Of Wales, to young Arthur or to
japanese Tommy and his fellows, was as moth
ing TO II. The procession, composed Of our
crack regiments, extended from the Battery
TO Canal street. and oil along the route
spectators lined the windows and were
packed 80 thick upon the sidewalks
that many women and children tainted with
the crush and the heat. Banners and bunting,
With the cross Of Russia most prominently
displayed, huttered from house fronts through
out the whole length of the route, and as the
Prince, In an open carriage with Minister Cat
acaxy, passed along in the procession, fair
hands waved handkerchiefs and clapped joy
GUS welcome. In the evening be was sere-
naded al the Clarendon Hotel and made
courteous and fitting acknowledgment.

The Reform Movement Down South.

The Reform Moven,ent Down South.
The reform thunder is revcrberating oil over
the land, and its lightning is striking In the
most hidden places. The Augusta (Ga.) Com
stitutionatist (democraticl after recalling the
corruptions of the democracy In this city, pro-
ceeds to assert that while democratic corrup-,
ton was local and concentrated, Republicans
corruption, having better opportunities, was
widespread and universal. Grant Is the ex-
ponent and model Of the party In power. II
will be for that party to decide whether it viii
present him, and the party's record through
him, for the popular endorsement. If it does,"
continues the C0nstitutionasist with consider
able force, ''we look for a reform movement
in the body Of that party itself, like the reform
movement which overthrow Tammany, that will
appeal to the honest sentiment of the country,
against the spoilers. An Independent organi-
cation" (mark the prophecyD Twill spring mp
inside of that party which will raise the banner
of reform aud will inscribe on it, Let us have
peace and honestly" The ConstisutionaIiss
further declares that in this uprising move
ment for reform the State of Georgia should
not be content to speak in low voice. s'Ths
robberies perpetrated by her absconded Gov
ernor and his co-conspirators rival the atroci-
ties of Tammany." The great reform tidal
wave is moving on slowly but irresistibly.
Nor Is 1t likely to end until every vcstige Of
corruption and spoliation IL swept from high
official places.

STICKS TO HIS DExooRAr1o CoLoRs.-Dan
Voorhees, (ex-Member Of Congress), In the
Terre Haute (Ind.) Journal 10 decidedly OPP
posed alike to the passive doctrine Of the st.
Louis Republican and the railroad Scottish OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer. ''Defeat," he
thinks, sis by no means the worst Of ills to
honest men. A base surrender Of measures
and of men, and then defeat besides, which
would be inevitable, is an infinitely more In
tolerable picture to look upon." By the time
the Democratic National Convention meets, II
II ever does meet the leaders Of the party will
be in the most delectable wuddle imaginable.

pect Of moneyed man becoming President Of

says, ''and i'll betide the country if ever it

ernors and presidents, and railroad kings be

been long time since money did not
elect the chief officers of our government, and
other people beside railroad kings had the

A Middle About tho state ComptrollershsD.
The Albany Argus is agitating the question
whether State Comptroller is to be elected
in 1879 based upon the tenure Of the Comp
troller elected in 1870. Against the positive
language Of the constitution Of 1916, remarks
the Argus, the argument Is offered that the
scheme Of the present constitution was 10
alternate the election In different years Of the
Governor and State officers. The Argus In
sists that there is nothing In the constitution
to show such purpose, except that the frss
election under It was made to fall, FIRST, for
the choice Of Governor and next Tor
the choice Of the State officers. While
this matter suspends unsettled over
the office in question, In the opinion
Of the Argus the Democratic Conven-
tion will nominate In 1879 candidate for tho
Office, or, II It should not, some outside or
ganization will do so, or some sef-nominased
candidate will take his chances and appeal 70
the Courts to sustain him Our contemporary
thinks tho question had better be settled nows
while the public mind Is calm, and before any
complications arise with the County Treas
urers. the Boards Of Supervisors, &C.. owing
to any conflict Of understanding IS to tho
rirhtful administrator Of the Office. On the
other hand, the Albany Journal, the republt-
can organ, treats the suggestions of the ArQ~s
very lightly, and apprehends that no obstacles
will be cast In the way Of the administration OF
the Office by the republican Comptroller elect
when he enters upon his duties. But there has
been SO much muddling aud troubling, and
twisting and turning, and backing and filing,
and lying and cheating and stealing about

The Cabinet Of Spain and the Cortes.
The adverse vote which the Spanish Cortes re-
corded the other day against the Ministers of the
Grown has induced the Cabinet to the hazardous
experiment of an executive retaliation against
the Parliament. A cable telegram from
Madrid informs us that the legislative session
has been prorogued until the month Of Febru-
ary, 1872, by royal authority. A state Of
quasi unconstitutional interregnum must
prevail in the kingdom in the mean
time. The Premier Malcampo will re-
main master of the situation with the
King Power will be centralized in
the palace; the people rendered dumb in
their citizen capacity. Questions of great
national Importance will remain unsettled
until the moment for their profitable realiza-
ton has passed. The Malcampo administra-
ton has postponed the consideration Of its
project for taxing the interest Of the national
bonds. This is timely concession to an
angry voice from London. It ID quite appa-
rent that the profits of place and power form
most prominent items In the consideration of
the rulers Of Spain to-day, and that the cause
of constitutionalism suffers In the balance.
The present coup against the Parxament is
dangerous in any and every aspect notwith-
standing.

From cable dispatches which we print this
morning we learn that Victor Emmanuel and
his President of Council, Signor Ferrari,
arrived in Rome yesterday. Prince Humbert
met his father at the city gates. The Prince
was attended by the Ministers of the Crown.
A force of the National Guard of the city was
on duty as royal escort. The populace
turned out in immense numbers and greeted
the sovereign with the most enthusiastic
demonstrations Of loyalty and respect. The
King proceeded to the Quirinal, where he has
taken up his residence for the present. A
curious coincidence in the history Of the hour
is to be found in the fact that on the same day
when the citizens Of young New York turned
out to salute Prince of the House Of
Romanoff the people Of ancient Rome should
stand forth to profess allegiance to the
sovereign ruler of the House Of Savoy,
and that the voice of united Italy should
proclaim that the temporal power Of the
Popes has passed away. It is not said whether
the King intends to remain in Rome. The
presumption is that 1t is only a visit-proba-
bly, for the purpose Of inspecting and COM
pleting the arrangements which are being
made for the transference Of the entire ma
chinery Of government towards the close ol
this month from Florence. The finale ap-
proaches. It remains to be seen whether
Pope and King will not yet shake hands,
and the Pontiff become reconciled to the
change

Tho She Herculesil Of the Age.

Andrew Hercules Green has made crevasse
in the municipal business Of the city of New
York. Andrew Hercules Green has swept the
Augean stable Of Tammany corruption. An
drew Hercules Green is the biggest man
among the great political reformers of the
age. He is at last the Comptroller of the city
and county of New York, and no deputy
humbug about 1t.
And now, having accomplished thus much
for our political regeneration, what has An
drew Hercules Green to do toward the moral
reformation Of some Of our erring people
What can he do toward the reformation Of
those lovely beings who are bowing at the
enchanting shrine of those Wall street Pytho-
nesses, Clafin and Woodruff?
Nebuchadnezzar was sent out to grass.
Mrs. Victoria Woodruff went to Chicago, and,
like Mrs. Nezzar, was sent out grass widow.
And in the second year OF the reign OF Nebuchad-
nezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, where
with hts spirit was troubled and his sleep brake
from him.-Ddntet 4, 81.
Mrs. Nebuchadnezzar- Woodruff has been
dreaming dreams, and what is the catastro-
phe? She dreams that marital relations are
not worth straw-not worth so much as
Whit Of the salt meadow grass on Jersey
fat. She says she ''knows too well the mise
ries Of married life." Undoubtedly; but why
did she not continue, in the words Of Job -
suner me that may spesx; and after that have
spoken, mock on.-Joo, Irt., I.
Therefore let no one push the Wall street
apostle Of the she Herculesil against the
wall. Mrs. Nebuchadnezzar- Woodruff il
among the brazen images that should have
been ground in the dust-gold dust, perhaps
long time ago. Yet, as she is bent upon
purifying the moral stable Of humanity, would
1t not be well for her to join hands with
Andrew Hercules Green and help him in his
noble vocation Of purging the Augean politi-
cal stables Of our present municipal govern
ment? Clean them out according to Scrip
ture-ay, according to statute. Mrs. Wood
hull may thereupon become one Of the she
Herculesii Of the age.

Tho Mails from tho West Indies Our
Special Letters.


Special Letters.
Our special correspondence from the West
Indies reached us by mail yesterday. The let
ters supply details of the telegraph cable news
reports which have already appeared in the
HERALD, accompanied by an elaboration Of
some of the facts which were embraced in our
advices from South America. Indeed, it may
be said, speaking generally, that the intelli-
gence possesses an almost entirely local inter-
est and We should perhaps say so were it not
for our conviction of the grand national
fact that it is well for the North American re-
public to keep posted with regard to all the
events which transpre in its more immediate
surroundings. Hayti remained agitated by
the affair Of the seizure Of the steamship Hor-
net, and number of Spanish ships-of-war
were expected at Port au Prince. President
Saget enjoyed pleasing reception at Aux
Cages. The country had lull from the po-
litical agitation of the hour. Seventeen houses
were consumed by the late fire in Port au
Prince. No cause had been assigned
for the confagration when our dispatches were
lOTWuEuous III VoucZucid unultdIy were
employed to keep order at Caracas, the city
agitation produced by the revolutionary move
ment having become of an exceedingly threat
ening character. The Brazilian Envoy had, it
was said, suspended relations with President
Blanco, charging that his official papers were
opened by the Venezuelan officials. Governor
Billie was very popular In st. Thomas. and the
subject of annexation to the United States was
not spoken Of st. Domingo is represented as
being in very favorable condition. President
Baez continued his tour Of visitation. He was
received outside of Santiago by procession
numbering over four thousand persons. They
were joyous, loyal and apparently united
very unexpected features in the political world
of Dominica. The United States steamers
Nipsic and Shawmut were in the ports of the
republic. The news detail from st. Thomas
relates to the affair Of the steamer Florida, an
old subject, and one which should be permit
ted to rest as between Spain and the United
States. The inferences which are to be de-
duced from our special news budget from the
West Indies and South America point to the
conclusion that the days of revolutions made
to order are passing away, and that North
American influences are being felt more di-
rectly in the West Indian territory daily.

vsn Beusf, the New Austrian Minister to
tho Court Of st. James.

tho Court Of 81. James.
Won Beust, lately Chancellor Of the Austrian
empire, and, beyond all question, one Of the
very ablest statesmen Of his day, has accepted
the appointment Of Ambassador to England,
and he is expected to arrive in London in the
course OF the present week. Won Beust,
although from accidental circumstances his
career has been less brilliant, is almost as
we'll known, the wide world over, a.
Bismarck. The leading statesman Of Saxony
for some years previous to the battle Of Sa-
dowa, he transferred his services from that
date to the Emperor Of Austria; and It is on
all hands admitted that to him more than to
any other must be credited those reforms
which have paciaed Hungary and maintained
the integrity Of the empire. Won Beust's
latest achievement is the reconciliation Of Aus
tria and Germany-a reconciliation which, II
IL generally understood, has taken the shape
Of treaty offensive and defensive. 1t is rea-
sonable, we think, to take 1t for granted that
In accepting the appointment to the Court Of st.
James he has been Influenced quite as much by
patriotic as by selfish motives. II Austria and
Germany have agreed upon any policy regard
ing the valley Of the Danube, 1t is Of all things
desirable that Great Britain should be induced
to share their views. Won Beust is no stranger
In London, for so far back as 1S46 he was the
Saxon Charge d'Affairea In that city.

THE TRIAL OF BRIGHAM YOUNG has been
postponed for the present by request Of his
counsel, who stated that Brigham had gone
south, In conformity with his yearly custom,
and that he did not propose to run away. He
would be ready for trial on any day the Court
might name, but would like to have the day
postponed till after midwinter, as his health
would not permit OF his returning north until
warmer weather set in.

saw and seized his opportunity before the
Democratic Tsmmany Convention, and 1t was
the golden opportunity, too, for new depar-
ture by the democrats, with Mr.. Chase as their
candidate. He was fresh from the republican
camp, with all his blushing honors Of the war
thick upon him as our great war hnancier.
But tho democratic managers permitted
their golden opportunity to pass by, and
now, as hardshell democrat the
Chief Justice Is In the same category
with all the other hold-over candidates from
the Tammany Convention. But we are deal
ing with these anti-Grant republicans, and we
fear there is no hope for them in the project of
fusion with the democrats 90 late in the day.
In fact, we do not know that anything can be
done for them in any conceivable coalition in
opposition to General Grant. There are only
q bakers dozen of them WHO are making all
this noise, and they are all of one mind in
their grievances against Grant. One would
think, therefore, they might be quie!ed by
another little Cleveland Convention like that
of Fremont and Coch rane. Unfortunately,
however, every man of this bakers
dozen is Presidential candidate, and the
only way in which they can all be
satisfied ON the convention system Is to give
each one q convention and nomination.
And why not? Is not this free country
Does the constitution call for these party con-
ventions In the election of Presidenta No.
Is the field open to all comers2 1t is; and
the more the merrier.
If the republican party, then, will insist
upon another term for General Grant, and il
the democrats will not disband their party
orgnzation for the accommodation OF these
anti Grant reformers, and If they cannot agree
among themselves, nor incur the expense Of
conventions, Let each man strike out for him
self, like 'Daniel Pratt, the great American
traveller" What else can they do, when it is
evident that the proposed coalition will fail,
and that Cleveland Convention will do no
good where there are thirteen men, more or
less, not one of whom will be satisfied with
anything less than the White House, or a
custom house, foreign mission, or country
post Officer

Our Special Dispatches from HIexics.
The HERALD special kilograms from Mexico
which are published in our columns to-day
detail the history of events occurring In the
republic as 1t was re ported In the capital on
the 1lth, and at Matamoras and on the
line Of the Rio Grande on the goth instant.
The narrative is almost uniform In its express
sion. It speaks Of revolution, of civil war and
tumult, of public doubt and alarm, of want
OF confidence In the State authorities and OF
an almost general absence Of loyalty towards
the national Executive General Rocha was
marching to the relief Of Saltillo. The place
was severely pressed by the revolutionists, so
that speedy issue of the contest at that point
was imminent. General Alatorre was engaged
in constant observation OF the movements at
Oaxaca, and Dlaz was equally busy in his
conduct Of the work of fortfying the place.
1t is needless to recapitulate the movements
and counter movements Of the different COM
manders. Suffice it to say that the revolu-
tionary undertaking is becoming general
In Mexico, 2 and that the most i'm
portant changes, governmental and social,
are likely to ensue from its completion.
Juarez repeated his request to Congress for .
parliamentary vote Of extraordinary powers to
the President. Mexican citizens subscribed
money for the relief of Chicago and for aid of
the sufferers by fire in Wisconsin. The neigh
boring republic will most assuredly experience
the effects of q new and remarkable crisis in
its history, and that at very early moment.
