ANOTHER REPORT OF BOURBON FUSION
The cable tells US that it is again reported
that an agreement has been reached by the
legitimist, fusionist and Orleanist Deputies
What they have agreed on we are not informed,
and even if we were we are inclined to the
opinion that it would not make much differ
ence. France has proclaimed her faith in re-
publican institutions by the vote at the last
elections. Disguised with the empire, and
knowing nothing of the monarchy, the French
people have spoken plainly and Enthusiastically
regarding the form of government which they
desire to see succeed in France, and although
announcements such as the one referred to
do not at all affect the accomplished fact
still they show that there exists party, how
ever small it may be, and that there turks o
desire, no matter how concealed it may have
lain, antagonistic to the permanency Of the
republic in France. If the recent elections
prove anything they prove that Bourbon
fusions and Orleanist compromises count for
naught when the people Of France decide
otherwise

meetings by Methodists and others, they are
evidently more in favor now than ever, and
may be regarded as one of the fixed institu-
tlons Of American Msthodism." Anything
that will help along religion should be encour-
aged-whether it be by out-of-door or indoor
praying. But it strikes us that little ''closet
praying, when the heart, silently and alone,
pours forth its overlooking measure of devo-
ton, comes about as near TO the idea of true
piety as anything else

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN SPAN.-The
meaning of the ministerial crisis in Spain will
soon become as obscure problem as the ia
nous Schleswig- Holstein question. The young
King seems completely at sea in the choice Of
his ministers, and in the few names already an
nounced as belonging to the new Cabinet which
Marshal Serrano was charged to form we recog-
nize none Of the old Spanish politicians. The
policy of calling upon the young men of a ma
ton to administer its affairs has generally
proved a wise one, and if this is what ANA
deus is doing he is showing himself wise
King. We are slow to believe that much trust
can be placed in young Spaniards but we
know that any confidence put in the old Span
ish political leaders is thrown away. If the
King is to succeed at all it can only be with
the help Of the younger element of the coun-
try. The men who have so long essayed to
rule Spain only to ruin it have headed and
subducd too many revolutions to be of any
assistance in forming stable government.

EXPLOSION AT THE WASHINGTON ARSENAL. -
About three o'clock yesterday morning small
building at the Arsenal In Washington city,
used Is magazine and laboratory for the
manufacture Of rockets, lights and shells for
the Signal Corps exploded, setting fire to
several adjoining buildings and another maya
zine, which contained five hundred pounds of
powder, large quantity of bombs, shot and
musket cartridges. A regular bombardment
ensued, the bursting bombs and cartridges
flying in all directions. Among the buildings
demolished was the Model Room, or Museum,
which was filed with models of all kinds of
foreign firearms and equipments, ancient
armor, Revolutionary trophies, &C., the loss Of
which is irreparable. The explosion is sup
posed to have been caused by spontaneous
combustion.

How SAMBo rs FADING OUT.-We have
the remarkable official statement from Colum-
bus, Ca, bearing recent date, that out Of a
population Of six thousand whites and three
thousand blacks the burals for three months
were-White adults, thirteen; black adults,
eighteen; white children, twelve; black chill
dren, thirty-sx. The proportion of deaths,
taking into consideration the number of white
non-residents buried, is nine whites and forty
eight blacks. The proportion Of deaths to
respective numbers, 1t will be seen, is one
white to ten and two-thirds blacks. At this
rate, in thirty -three years from the promulga-
ton of the emancipation proclamation Mr..
Sambo will have followed Mr.. Lo!

WALL STREET DURING THE WEEK was the
field of pretty extensive transactions in stocks,
considering the time of year. The war be-
tween two of the rival Western roads led to
some pretty hard knocks being given to prices
all around. Gold was weak and wound up at
11ls. Governments were strong and the rail-
way mortgage bonds firm, at advancing prices.

PEACHES AND WATERMELoNs are pouring

from Jersey they will be cheaper.

informed, hos resigned the seat to which he
was elected in the National Assembly. As

ANOTHER INDIAN WAR seems imminent in
the Northwest The last steamer from the
Upper Missouri reports that Fort Berthold
was attacked by the Sioux on the 10Th.
Spotted Tail pretends to have untold grievances
to redress, and is out on the warpath with
large band of braves. The mail station be-
tween Fort Stevenson and Fort Totten was
attacked few days since, ard, despite the
presence of military escort, he house and
mail bags were burned. This outrage was
committed by party OF Sioux who had
received rations at Fort Thompson q few days
before. Evidently our Indian matters are
sadly mismanaged, or it would be hardly pos
sible for tribes to be fed at government sta
lions at the very time they are preparing to
make war upon the whites.
QUEsADA's EXPEDITION IN CUBA has come
to grief After suffering great privations, even
being compelled to slaughter the mules to
satisfy the cravings of hunger, the men
who composed the expedition effected q
junction with another body of insurgents
near Puerto Principe. A detachment Of
Spanish troops which was sent out
in search of the invaders attacked the COM
bined insurgent forces. The Cubans seem to
have made stout resistance. They at first
greatly outnumbered the Spaniards. The lat
ter were, however, reinforced in the
nick OF time by the arrival of fresh troops
and scattered the insurgents, many of
whom were either killed or wounded, several
being captured. Quesadas force has been by
far the most important array Of men which the
Cubans have of late opposed to the Spaniards.
The disastrous end of this expedition and the
surrender of so many prominent leaders will,
perhaps, convince the Cuban insurgents Of

Dramatic PrOspects-A Brilliant senson Ia
the Fall.

Dramatic PrOspects-A Brilliant seasOn In
the Fall.
Although few of the managers have COM
pleted their arrangements for the mex. ORA
matte season, and many of them have not even
commenced to arrange their programmes, still
sufficient is known to make it certain that we
are on the eve of one of the most brilliant
seasons ever known in the annals of the
American stage There Is a complete stagna-
ton in dramatic matters at the present time,
and some Of the leading theatres are hermeti-
cally sealed. But the sounds of preparation
are constant and significant, and at the hotels
and dramatic agencies scores of managers
may be seen on the lookout for attractions
and novelties We have already referred to
the brilliant prospects in the musical line, and
we can safely assert that the dramatic will
not be behindhand. OF course we are not to
have Ristori, but the provinces will have
representative of the drama equally great, the
favorite Janauschek. There appears to be some
inexcusable negligence on the part of our
metropolitan managers to allow such sterling
actress to escape them. Grau brings with
him from Europe the charming German come
dienne, Hedwig Raabe, who has won golden
honors In St. Petersburg and Berlin. Fechter
and Sothern will renew their former triumphs,
the one, perhaps, at the Theatre Francois,
and the other at Niblos. We preserve the first
name of the former theatre, since there was
no legitimate reason why it should ever have
been changed to the unmeaning title of "Four-
teenth Street Theatre" The only excuse was
that German actress was playing an engage
ment there during the war between France
and Germany. DAILY has engaged very large
company, culled from the principal theatres in
other cities, besides retaining all the old IA
vorites that made the Fifth Avenue Theatre
famous. The standard temple of the drama
over which Mr.. Wallack presides will lose
none Of its time-honored renown in this
race for popular favor. The company
at present is so complete and embraces
so many well known artists that it will be diff
fcult to add to its strength. Booths is, we
believe, to be mainly devoted to stars, and the
Olympic will be the scene of q grand panto-
mime revival, for which many European
celebrities are engaged. The Grand Opera
House passes under a new and, we trust,
more competent management than that which
has guided its fortunes for some seasons past.
There is no reason why such splendid build
ing should not be well patronized. Sheridan
Shocks new theatre on Union square will be
opened early in the fall, and projects are on
foot for the erection Of more uptown theatres.
A few weeks later we shall learn the full
details of the programmes of the coming
season. They will be of such volumnous
nature that even the most sangune of our
theatre goers will be astOnished.

The Press and the Public ON the Riots.
The opinions Of the various class journals in
the countryside democratic, republican, Irish
American, American-Irsh, the religious Catho-
lic the religious Protestant, the religious anti
Christian, the religious pro- Christian, the
religious Independent Christian and all the
rest-having been given on the subject of the
riot, and the multitude of occasional CORE
spondents of the press having fully ventilated
their ideas on the same topic, suppose the
public attention be directed to something else.
for the present, at least. Many of the pupits
are empty, the pastors doing the pastoral in
some shady grove or sylvan nook" and rest
ing their weary brains from the incessant
labors of the past year. Therefore many of
our pulpits are barren of novelty. Now, why
cannot some Of our lecture editors, Horace
Greeley or Theodore Tilton, for example, who
have nothing else to do-supply one or more
of these pulpits in the absence of the regular
stock preachers2 1t would do many heart
good to hear Horace expound from the pulpit
how deep it would be necessary for man to
plough through the subsoil of sin before he
reached the hard pan of Righteousness. He
would eclipse Henry Ward Beecher in the
uniqueness Of his metaphors and in the pro-
fundity of his parallels. Tilton could fill up
the interstices in the exercises, as Old Bullion
Tom Benton might have said, by sprinkling in
a few scintillations from shower of golden
thoughts from the Golden Age. This would
be big card for any church short Of attrac-
tons at the present >1uncture, and help to
divert the public attention from the disagree
able sensations consequent upon rejecting
upon the tragic doings of the 10Th inst.
The experiment is worth trying at any rate,
as the farmer said when he crossed his pink
eye potatoes with blue noses.

memorable Trial. IL Is hardly necessary TO
comment upon them further. The spirit and
purpose of that trial were too apparent then,
and the same spirit is now following Mr..
Cheney in Chicago, and is seeking other vic
Tins elsewhere. Mr.. Cheney's congregation,
like Mr.. Tyng's, proclaim their fullest con-
fdence in him but the former, unlike the lat
ter, does not stand to be reproved, adm0n-
ished or deposed by his ecclesiastical superior,
Notwithstanding the Bishops assumption Of
this right And so long as his congregation
hold UP his hands, as the papers last Sunday
and Monday reported they had done, he can
safely resist the ritualistic power which would
degrade him from his high Office.
It will be necessary now briefly to examine
those doctrines and assumptions which are
creating so much controversy, in the light of
the Bible and the Book Of Common Prayer.
1t is well known that infant baptism by sprln-
king water ON the forehead of the child is the
mode and manner chiefly used in the Protest
ant Episcopal Church. In the baptismal rubric
the object of this rite is declared to be to stes-
tify the receiving of them that be newly
baptized into the number of Christs Church."
And in the opening declaration the congrega-
ton present are asked to pray that our Lord
Jesus Christ may grant to the child that which.
by nature it cannot have-namely, baptism by
the Holy Ghost and reception into Christs
holy Church. and that it may be made lively.
