THE VARIETY SrRINGs.-The Messrs. Burress,
the proprietors of this we'll and favofahy known
watering place, have given us striking indi-
e.tion of their penetrating, discriminating judg-
ment, in their selection of Capt. J. G. Wiley as
the Superintendent of their establishment. His
experience, in the same capacity, at other Vir-
ginia Springs, his happy faculty of reading that
cnigmatical compound-human nature-his po-
liteness, conrteousness and peculiar urbanity Of
manner, combine to render him, in the broadest
and mbst comprehensive sense of the term, suita-
BILE for the position. The guests of the Variety,
while it is his duty to minister to their comfort,
may rest assured that everything within the
range of human exerien tending to make their
stay pleasant and beneficial will be done by him.

The Long Island Farmers, Movement.

The convention of farmers and agricultural
owners held at Jamaica, Queens county, on
Thursday last was sufficiently important in
numbers, wealth and enthusiasm to guarantee
that the excellent movement now on foot to
secure better market accommodation for pro-
ducers and fresher supplies of garden stuff for
consumers will be vigorously pushed Such
men as O'Donnell, Vanderveer, Hendrickson,
Cooper and Marsh, who set forth the griev-
ances of the people in their addresses, are not
easily turned aside from any just purpose that
they may undertake to pursue. The first
named Of these gentlemen owns and edits an
influential and well-conducted weekly paper,
and the others represent various commanding
local interests, all Of which are injuriously
affected by the needless delays, drawbacks and
expenses resulting to the farmers bringing
their material to our city, from the ridiculous
inadequacy Of our market places.
On our side of the East river the entire
population of New York, with the exception,
possibly, Of a few agiotsurs and small specu-
lators, sympathizes with a movement that looks
so decidedly to their benefit, and we have no
doubt that when the convention reassembles on
the 9th of February its resolutions will be
strengthened by many assurances of hearty
approval from this city. In fact, there is but
one view of the case, and that condemns the
present scandalous system, or, rather, lack of
all system, by which this metropolis is kept
far behind almost every other great city in the
civilized world with regard to the convenience
and cleanliness of the structures and squares
where the food of its vast population is sold.

Mr.. DUToHER's Holy ALLIANCE AFTER
HONEST Tom MURPHY. -Thirty-fve clergymen
of New York and Observation-Disclosures Bap-
fists, Dutch Reformed, Puritans and PresIyte-
rians, but chiefly ethodsts-have petitioned
General Grant to appoint Silas B. butcher
Collector of this port. They believe that she
is very proper man for the position, whose
appointment will add strength to your Excel
lency's administration and be very acceptable
to the public generally, and to the republican
party particularly" What does this mean
this holy alliance against honest Tom Murphy |?
'Is the king dead" or has Murphy made up
his mind to retire, or what is the meaning OF
this movement of the Methodists and their
Protestant allies? Have they discovered that
Murphy is Catholic, and that, In failing to
catch the Irish Catholic vote, the experiment
Of his appointment is failure2 We fear SO,
and if SO you may depend upon 1t Murphy is
in danger, because these Protestant clergymen
will be apt to put General Grant to a square
test upon this matter, and he may have to sur
render. What then? Another general Know
Nothing movement, perhaps? What says Mr..
Brooks?

Why Make Two Bites Of a Cherrys
Much trouble must result from the capitula-
ton of Paris. The peace settlement may prove
to be as troublesome as the war has been. Why
should not the German Emperor make the res
toration Of the empire complete? 1t was the
proud boast Of the first Napoleon that he was
the successor of Charlemagne. Why cannot
King William. without boasting, make the res
toration of the empire complete? 1t would be
easy for him to annex France to Germany. 1t
requires only little effort to do the same for
Italy and Portugal and Spain. 1t would be
the best thing possible for the Latin races to
accept German protection and to imbibe a
little German strength. Suoh al Arrangement
would be helpful towards the settlement Of the
nationalities question. 1t would make Ger
many the great conservative Power of the
Continent It would also, and, as we think,
without the aid Of any conference, bring to
satisfactory conclusion the whole Papal diff
Guilty. Kaiser William and the Pope, friends
already, might get on as well as did their
illustrious predecessors If France persists in
her refractory course Bismarck may be left no
choice.

DOUBLE EXECUTION IN MISSOURI -Yester-
day, at Potosi, Mo-, jolly and Armstrong, the
murderers of the Lepine family, paid the
penalty Of their frightful crime on the scafTold.
The details Of the murder, which We give in
another part Of the paper, show it to be one
of the most horrible on record family
butchered in manner the most revolving.
The execution was public. Women and
children were present to witness the terrible
sight of two beings launched into eternity.
The prisoners made no public confession OF
their guilt; to the priests they may have done
so; but the evidence against them was so con-
elusive that not doubt remains but that their
punishment was most justly merited

The London Conference and the Pope.

The London Conference and the Pope.
The London Conference, which has met and
adjourned and done nothing, meet when it may,
will be useless affair unless 1t considers and
tries to solve the question of the patrimony of
ST. Peter. 1t Is true, the Conference is said
to have resolved to conine itself to the con-
sideration of the Eastern question only, and
that the adjournment has taken place to allow
France the opportunity of taking part 1t is
our opinion, however, and we gather it from
the interest taken in this Papal difficulty by
England. by Austria, and by Germany under
her new form. As we said yesterday, Anto-
neli has been consulted by both Austria and
Germany; and considering the desire which
the government of King Victor Emmanuel has
manifested to avoid giving unnecessary offence
to the Holy Father, as well as the interest
taken in the matter by Premier Gladstone, 1t
Is not unnatural to conclude that an attempt
will be made to induce the Conference to
undertake the solution of this troublesome
question. Antonelli, 1t is quite clear, forgets
not neither forgives Middle Italy, from the
line of the Pc to the Neapolitan frontier and
from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, has
for ages constituted the States of the Church.
Up until the French invasion of 1892 the
States Of the Church comprised not only all
this territory, but portion Of the left bank
of the Pc besides. The Vienna treaties re-
cient limits, with the exception only that
small slice of territory on the left bank Of the
Pc was given to the Duchy Of Parma. This
territory covered q surface of sixteen thou
sand square miles and numbered population
Of three millions. In 1860 the States of the
Church, in consequence of the Italian up
rising and through the help of France, were
reduced to about one-fourth Of their original
bulk. All that properly belonged to the an
cient exarchate of Ravenna was wrenched from
the Holy Father. Nothing on the Adriatlc
shores was left to him. Rome and the ada
cent provinces Of Viterbo, Civita Veccbia,
Velletri and Frosinone were spared.
The territory was reduced to four
thousand five hundred and fifty-six
square miles. The population was reduced to
seven hundred thousand. Now all is gone.
Nothing remains. Antonelli's demand for the
line Of the Pc and the Neapoltan frontier
shows that the Papal authorities .acquiesce
neither in the violence Of 1860 nor in the vio-
lence of 1870. The Pope proclaims himself
despoiled. 1t is not possible that this terri,
tory can be again restored, for that would be
to cut Italy again into three slices and the
King Of Naples would not be without good
reason for demanding the restoration of his
kingdom. But naturalization is not impossi-
BILE. The Pope, in fact, has right to insist on
naturalization. If the London Conference
viii not consider his claims another Confer
ence may find it necessary to do so. On
question Of so comparatively easy solution the
world cannot afford to be kept in hot water.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-01-28
SATURDAY, 2s 187wrH SUPPLEMENT-

example, requiring peremptorily the sub
mission hereafter Of all quarrels among any
two or more of the Powers concerned to the
tribunal Of general conference, inasmuch as
the new German empire holds what is called
the balance of power.
Meantime 1t is apparent that Germany, with
out the aid of conference, will settle her flu
tare boundaries with her other accounts against
France She will settle them with France,
and will meet France in the London Confer
ence to discuss only the Eastern question,
and perhaps the Roman question, should
Italy bring it forward. In this separate
settlement between Germany and France,
so inviting is the occasion, and so
tempting the opportunity to recall
the empire through the French imperial
Legislature, dispersed on the 4th of Sep
TENDER, that 1t is among the immediate pro-
liabilities before u.s. Louis Napoleon may
have had enough of the uncertainties of the
French revolution makers, but still the i'm
perial Regency, in the name of his son, may be
established, and it may stand, too, with the
return Of the protecting imperial French
armies from Germany. But may not Gam
beta and Company, even with the loss of Paris,
still keep up the fight? We think not. We
dare say that Count Bismarck has made the
surrender of Gambetta and Company equivalent
to condition Of the surrender of Paris.
Otherwise, with the speedy extinction of Gam
beta and Company in the field, the only course
left open to Germany will be the recall Of the
Bonapartes.
