TIE PRINCE was received formally, but cor
daily, by the President at the White House
yesterday. Secretary Fish and Minhter Cata-
casy both having very generously sacrificed
their feelings Of personal snimosity toward
one another to the absolute demands Of diplo-
matte duty. A pleasant quarter Of an hour was
passed In conversational chat between tho
Prince and his suite and the ladies Of the
White House and gentlemen Of tho Cabinet
after which the royal party returned to the
residence Of the Minister. To-day they visit
the Naval Academy At Annapolis and take the
train tonight for New York, where they will
arrive tomorrow morning. As happy trib-
ute Of the Prince to the magnificent fascination
Of American institutions, Il 10 stated
that he took two genuine American
''veesky cocktails" at little barroom
just round the corner from the Min
ister's residence, sending . servant after
one and going himself In person after the
second. This generous compliment to the
superiority Of republican ideas over those Of
despotic Europe, while it cannot but occasion
doubt OF the diplomatic discretion Of Prince
who thus casts aside his imperial reserve and
laves his soul, unmindful Of diplomatic dis
tinctions and requirements, In the untram-
melled deliciousness Of republican drink,
cannot but make the hearts Of Americans, and
especially American barkeepers swell with
patriotic emotion.

THE UNIVERSAL PEACE SOCIETY, which is
continually at war with the existing state Of
affairs, met in Philadelphia yesterday and had
an unusually harmonious session. Lucretia
Mott insisted that standing armies should be
abolished and men-of-war should be converted
into merchantmen. But the blessed old lady
ought to remember that the first nation that
disarmed itself to that extent would be in
stantly overrun and partitioned among its ag-
gressive neighbors.

Tho Illness Of the Prince Of Wales COZ
'lnued during the day yesterday. He passed
rather uncomfortable night from Wednes-
aay' MS case presenting the symptoms o.
typhoid fever In the morning.. A medical bul
letin was issued ia London yesterday, sIgn-d
by the attending physicians, which announced
that the symptoms were "not alarming"
set forth also that tho fever was Of the
typhoid typo. His Royal Highness the Primo,
Of Wales Is thirty years OF ago. He wa,
born on tho OH OF November, in the
year l841. II is inferred In somo ouarter,
that no is OF an unhealthy constitution hs
hereditary predspos'ion, and that no hSs' hSs'as5S aS
taken any due care to avert the consequences o.
this physical tendency to disease. The Q.,sen.
his mother, must feel sorely grieved indeed
at the serious faot Of hearing the DeitIsS
monarchy denounced before excited ass.m-
blages of the people at thr very moment when
the heir apparent to the Grown lies invalided
by fever. Her sorrowiny recoilsctions Of
Prince Albert will b, most likely renewed -
all their intensity by the remembrances Of bic
latest and fatal attack OF hlicss-gaslric irr!-
tation, producing typho'd fever which tsr.
minated Ia con. .ses.on of the br lin.

cable telegram from Paris reports that the
Minister Of Finance Of France, when submit
ting the budget estimates to the members Of
the Legislative Assembly, will propose pro-
ject for new national loan Of the amount OF
four hundred millions OF francs. The near

British Radicalism Moving Against tAs
Monnrchy.
The British radical republican democracy
are in active and apparently energetic move
ment for the overthrow Of the monarchy and
the establishment OF a democratic republican
form Of government In the kingdom. Sir
Charles Dixie lectured on the subject, In
favor OF the change, before large audience
In Leeds yesterday. The men OF toll, those
who sweat away their humanity and dwarf
their children In the "mills," were out In
force. A row ensued. It was caused BY
collision between the police and some Of Str
Charles hearers. Very trifing Incidents have
tended to set John Bull In roar againss
royalty at different epochs. from the time Of
Watt Tyler to the days Of Sir Francis Burdets-
and thence TO the movement Of the great 70
form and emancipation and chartist meetings
In England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and
the end Is not yet.

OF Romo.


OF Romo.
The Bavarian Cabinet has-as we have
already announced by cable telegram
instructed tho Kings representative serving
In the national council Of united Germany to
take due measures to prevent clerical agita-
ton and ''unpatriotio intrigue" on the part of
the hierarchs within the territory of the King.
Another telegram which We publish to-day
will instruct our readers as to the chief fea-
lures Of the new measure. The bill Is penal
against clergymen who ''abuse the privilege Of
their Office" It is the first of . series Of
measures Of like character which have been
framed in Munich with the view Of checking
the ''encroachments of the Church on the
liberties Of the people" of Bavaria. In other
words, Louis tho Second appeals directly to
the consolidated imperial authority Of the En-
peror William for protection against the reac-
tionary agencies Of the Church Of Rome, both
lay and priesty, Ia his dominions, as well as for
the shaping Of general measure Of German
provision against the consequences King
Louis of Bavaria Il q young man, but ruler
who has gained vast deal OF political expo
riencs during critical moments in the
history Of his country. Tho Church be-
came doubtful as to the healthful condition
Of His Majesty's mind on religious subject
soon after the formation Of his intimate ac-
quaintance with Richard Wagner, tho COM
poser, and their subsequent joint stndy OF the
writings of Buchner and Fenerbach. Party
influence secured the dismissal Of Herr
Wagner from Court In the year 1866. The
King has maintained system Of almost COM
plete personal isolation since. He has no
desire to be measured by the standard Of in
fallibllity. He is averse to the ghostly disci-
pline of the clergy and dislikes restraint
either Of home or from abroad. The conduct
of public affairs in Bavaria is consequently,
for the most part, In the hands Of men who
play politics perseveringly for the sake Of
power, and this In . spirit of emula-
tion which Is scarcely known In public life In
Northern Germany. The present remon-
strances Of Bavaria against infalfibility and
the Church are serious matters, however. The
movement may be the cause Of very consider
able discussion In the Parliament of the Ger
man nation, and thus lead the Berlin Cabinet
to new and significantly explicit departure"
on the subject Of Papal infallibility and the
Roman Ponti6cate.

A REMARKADLE SENSATION now agitates
Philadelphia. John Prudham, q young man
in that city, ate hearty breakfast in tho

fall, and, coming up stairs, discovered John
lying dead ON the floor, with q butchers knife

him in his oricial capacity as % otiser Of the

which We reported BY cable telegram on Wed
nesday were renewed in the Belgian capital
yesterday. The people demonstrated at the
doors Of the Parliament House and in tie
public thoroughfares. They w'rs out in ''ssor-
nous" numbers. The government remained
firm. The police were called on duty in force
Serious disturbances were commenced ia t9e

hour last night. The Ministry of PuDlic
Works was invaded, but the people were

restored after midnight, but no opinion h
given as to the probability Of its permansncs.
Belgium has been, apparently, happy and ooa-
tented during number Of years, but We must
not forget that tho revelry Of . ball in Brus-
sells has, in time not long past, heralded the
''heavy sound" and brought forth the re-echs
Of the clany Of arms Of the most deadly war
struggle ever recorded Ia h!story-.he bstsss

over Mexico or to annex that country.
Annexation, probably, would be best; for
that would prevent future trouble and give at
once an extraordinary development to the
country. As . question Of policy, sim ply,
there can be no doubt as to the cour rse our
government should pursue. M,xico joins our
own territory for thousand miles or so, as
We said before; 1t is, probably, the richest
country on the globe, particularly in mineral
wealth, and in our possession it would become
more valuable, bota to this republic and the
rest Of the world, than several CALIFORNIA;.
See what California, which was . wilderness
twenty-five years ago, has become, and then
Imagine what Mexico would be In q short
time II annexed to the United States. Her
mountains are full Of precious metals and
other valuable Minerals; her soil Is prolific
beyond description, and she has every
variety Of climate and products. Mexico
is worth thousand st. Domingos, with all
the West Indles besides, and there ar no seas
to cross to reach 1t. Our system Of railroads
wonld be extended to and across and through
every par, Of that vast and rich empire. Yes,
we should soon have lateral railroads from
California along the tablelands and shores Of
Mexico to Tehuantepec and Central America.
The numerous harbors, both in the Pacific and
Gulf, would be filled by our vessels, and an
immense impetus would be given to our COM
merce and shipping interests. In twenty
years Mexico would become the richest por-
ton Of the United States, and the whole world
wonld be benefited by tho change. In .
political point of view, General Grant would
make moro out Of the annexation Of Mexico
than by anything else. II he were to pro-
claim this policy he would arouse national
ambition, give vent to popular favor, unite
political parties, find scarcely any opposition
to his reelection, and send his name down to
posterity as one Of the greatest statesmen of
the country and age. Lst him drop San
Domingo, or any other small and questionable
scheme for national expansion. and take up
this grand one, which would move the popular
heart and give unparalleled progress and
development to the republic.
