| 1871 Mr. Fenton has broken ground in q
speech at Jamestown in support of the repub-
lican State ticket. Mr.. Greeley, on this
ticket, II may be said, has shaken hands with
Collector Murphy at the Cooper Institute; but
your disappointed politician is slippery GUS
| TONER, and when most urgently needed is
most likely to turn up among the missing in
the battle.
The success of the republicans in this State
contest will be triumph for General Grant
in being the ratification Of his strong endorse
ment by the Syracuse Convention. Are the
Fenton-G Greeley faction to be relied upon in
this work? Yes; if they are pre- pared to re-
cognize the general voice of the party from
Maine to California in favor Of Grant as the
party standard bearer for 1872 No; if
Mr.. Eentgn and ME; Greeley still entertain
the delusion that they may get new shuttle,
cut and deal Of the cards in the national party
convention. In short, considering the fact
that the Fenton- Greeley faction are disap-
pointed office-seekers, and have little or moth.
ing to expect from General Grant, we do not
expect them to put themselves to any incon.
venience in assisting the General to carry
this State election. This suspicion is widely
entertained. II is certain that there
are numerous personal feuds and factious
divisions among the homogeneous elements
opposed to Tammany in the city, and that
while doubts and misgvings prevail concern
ing the republicans Of the interior there are no
doubts as to the unity of the democrats
throughout the State. And so the political
situation in the State is changed. A few
weeks ago it did appear as if the republicans
and reformers of all sorts in q combined move
ment would carry everything before them.
To-day, Notwithstanding this Cooper Institute
republican union meeting, the chances appear
to be in favor of the democratic party, inolud-
ing Tammany Hall.

Inc Forest FIRES ana tue welcome hN1nss
The long drought which has been drying up
the earth for the last two or three months has
extended over an immense stretch Of country
on our Continent, and its effect has been dis.
astrously marked in many spots by great
forest fires. The burning woods Of Wiscon-
sin and Michi IAN, with the millions of pro-
perty and hundreds of lives destroyed, the
ravages of the flames among the woody
mountains of California and of Virginia and
Maryland, and the threatening fires in the
wooded ranges OF Northern and Western
New York, as valuable in their ancient beauty
and grandeur as an old English demesne, aud
as thrifty and busting with human life as
New England village-these dot out over
wide range the points where the drought has
been most severe. The tinder-llke dryness
of the earth and grass and forest trees has
been the one compelling cause of the great
destructiveness Of these fires.
We hope that the rains of October, from tbs
promising opening of last night, will be 50 ex-
tensive aud liberal as to extinguish all these
forest fires from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast.

France IS emphatically q country OF tradl-
tons. The very 'gloom Of the glory which
was, and which has now faded away, appears
to be more dear to the minds of the French
people than the very pressing realities Of the
moment which is upon them. They live to
great extent in the past and use the weapon
Of deceitful logic against the consequences
of facts which have been fully accomplished.
Such being the case we are not at all surprised
by the contents Of a cable news telegram from
Paris which appears in the HERALD to-day.
The French are now, under the nspira-

through the columns of the Courier Diplo-
mattQue. England, as is alleged, proposed at
that period, through the Queens Minister in
Paris, the project Of an alliance offensive and
defensive between France and Great Britain
for the support of Denmark against Prussia
and Austria. The united forces were to act by
sea and on land. Napoleon was to have as an
equivalent for his aid in the operations the
privilege of rectifyiug the French frontier by
the annexation Of a portion Of the Rhenish
provinces Of Prussia. Bonaparte hesitated.
He required three days to consider. The plan
was then accepted but the force of France
was lost during the interval. When the
fact of Napoleon's acquesceuce was made
known officially to the British Cabinet Earl
Russell replied that it was ''too late, as Her
Majesty's government had decided not to in-
terfere in the case Of Denmark. 'All is
vanity" says the preacher. Earl Russell and
Lord Cowley tickled Napoleon's vanity by
their proposal. This caused him to show his
hand-to reveal his policy in the Prusso-
Dauish question. He did so and was defeated,
just as effectually as was his warrior uncle
at Waterloo when Wellingtons order, Sup,
guards and at them!" rang out along the
British line. The French should have con-
cealed this correspondence, but there is no
accounting for national predictions or popu-
