THE DUBLIN RIOT has produced bad effect
upon the whole population of that city, and
seems to have changed the enthusiasm with
which the royal party was received on their
arrival into sulen GOODNESS, if not to feel
ing of resentment against the whole royal
family, chiefly against the Prince of Wales,
who has probably abridged his stay in the
Irish capital on account Of the disturbances
on Sunday. According to our despatch from
Dublin the royal visitors left Dublin yester-
day amid the dead silence Of crowds Of spec
tators who lined the streets through which
they passed. Instead Of cheers there were q
few hisses Order has apparently been
restored, but excitement still prevails among
the whole population.
The great hopes which were entertained
from the visit of the Prince of Wales have
been disappointed; for it was expected that
the government would not let 80 good an op-
portunity pass without extending a general
amnesty to the captive Fenians. 1t is also
thought that their liberation might have been
obtained if the Prince of Wales had inter-
ceded, which he has failed to do. Altogether
affairs in the Irish capital appear to have as
sumed quite threatening aspect The adj
dress Of the Amnesty Committee Is bitter In
its denunciaton of the government. The con-
duct of the police is likewise severely GEN.
sured, and more troubles are apprehended.

UNDER WHICH KING?-The venerable Mr..
Greeley calls the new General Republican
Committee of this city the Custom House
Committee, while the Times pronounces the
Greeley General Committee the Tammany
Republican Committee. We suspect that if
Mr.. Greeley had everything to his liking in
the Custom House any committee recognizing
his control of the spoils would to him be per-
fectly regular and satisfactory. But the
trouble between General Grant and Mr..
Greeley is simply this-That where two men
ride the same horse together one must ride
behind, and Greeley has had to take the back
seat. They say that if he does not like this
arrangement he can ride his own horse or the
Tammany horse; but as things are going,
whatever he may do is matter of emo
consequence"

The Lesson a, the wcsineld Disaster.

| The Lesson Of the Wcstfleld Disaster.
The investigation of the Boiler Inspectors
has proceeded SO far t. rat there is little doubt
of the verdict. 1t will certainly find the COM
pany, the engineer and tie Inspector all cul-
pable That is already the peoples verdict.
There have been many important bits of nfor-
nation brought forth by the inves,i gation, and
from these we propose the following bits OF
advice to the steamboat companies. Lat them
be soundly poadered and promptly acted upon
by all concerned -
Let the steam gauge be placed in the boiler
room, where the fireman can see it, and act
according to its Indications, rather than in the
engine room at the other end Of the boat,
where action upon its indications is likely to
be loo slow for an emergency. Or, rather,
let there be steam gauge In both places.
Let the inspectors take care not to interfere
with one another. Ex-Inspector Bergman
says that Inspector Matthews persisted in GER
tifying to boilers which he the ex-inspector)
had just discovered to be defective and Or
dered in repair. Let there be more distinct
lines drawn, so that one will not trespass upon
the others grounds.
Let the superintendent Of steamboat lines
be inspected as well as the boilers. 1t would
appear from ex-Inspector Berryman's testi-
mony that the Superintendent Of the Staten
Island ferry line was running altogether on
the economical praciple, and refused to lay
up the Westfeld when he was ordered. That
Superintendent evidently is defective, has a
flaw somewhere, and is running under too high
q pressure
Let the safety valves be tested now and
then. Blow off once in while, to keep them
used to it, even if the passengers are apt to be
frightened at the sound. They'll like it in the
long run.
Teach the engineers who have to drive this
chained elephant steam, some of his murder
Gus tricks. Let them understand tho why's
and wherefores of explosions. Let them be
something more than mere machines them
selves Let not blind man drive fiery
steed.

TIE HEAVY CosTs OF THOSE CASTLES IN
SPAN.-It seems, from our Cbiselhurst cor
respondence, that the imperial exiles there,
having abandoned all l>.;e of restoration of
the Napoleonic empire, have been discussing
the important question of their future country.
The Emperor wants to 60 back to Switzerland,
the Empress wants to go back to Spain, and it
is said that from the sale of her jewels she has
bought castle in Spain. Oh those ''castles
in Spain!" What heavy costs they have
brought upon the Bonapartes No wonder
that Louis Napoleon has incurable dislike
of Spain and the Spaniards. But the nephew,
like the uncle, learned his Spanish lessons oc

A Speck of War In the East.

The traditional war cloud In the East is
said to be again dimly visible on the political
horizon. According to the London Standard
''four French war steamers have been got
ready for sea at Toulon in view of possible
complication in the East" The announcement
has really no special Importance, because
complications are always possible in the East,
and if such complications do arise France
must one way or another be concerned in
them. 1t is impossible with any certainty to
tell against what Power this unformidable
warlike demonstration might be directed
There is quarrel of few months standing
between France and Egypt, or rather
between the Khedive and the French
General Consul at Alexandria, and even
the Sublime Porte has complained to the
French government about the alleged inso-
lence of its representative in Egypt. But the
quarrel has been referred for decision to M.
Jules Favre, the then Minister for Foreign
Affairs. Are Turkey and Egypt not satisfied
with his decision, and are the four French
war vessels meant to frighten the Khedive or
the Sultan, or both, into acquiescence? The
French are just now very thin of skin and apt
to magnify any little slight into downright
insult. Four war vessels, however, might
make the Bey Of Tunis, for instance, tremble
in his boots, but the Khedive of Egypt would
laugh at such menace. We might fill columns
with surmises, but prefer to leave broad mar
gin to the speculative reader.

The German Occupation Of France.

The German Occupation OF rrahce'
The sooner the German troops are with
drawn from French soil the better. Every
day renders the situation more and more un-
pleasant, not only to the French inhabitants in
the districts occupied by the Prussian forces,
but to the German soldiers themselves, who
are anxious to get home Frequent conflicts
between small numbers of the Germans and
the French people have from time to time OF
late taken place. Even assassination has
been resorted to. All this goes to show how
bitter is the feeling entertained by the French
for those who are waiting for their indemnity
ere they loose their hold on the nation which
they so effectually humbled. The French
offer as an excuse for the hostility displayed
toward the occupiers of the soil that the Ger
man treatment is tyranncal and oppressive,
and the extreme measures adopted by the
people arise from this fact What truth
there may be in all of this we are not yet in
are aware, that previous to the retirement of
Jules Favre from the Foreign Office he COM
municated with General Won Moltke, COM
planning Of the arbitrary conduct of the Ger
man soldiers in the invaded districts, and
limiting that if the troubles which this severity
engendered were not prevented the difficulty
In the final settlement of the war indemnity
would be very great Moreover, the temper
of the French people is such at the present
time that war at all hazards might be
attempted. So long as the Germans remain
on French soil there will always be more or
less trouble between them and the people in
tho occupied districts. Won Moltke is fully
aware of this, and hence his peremptory order
to the commanders of the invaded parts to be
less overbearing, and by their conduct give
no cause to the people to foment disturbances
which might lead to serious trouble and
bloodshed.

THE PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY EXCURSION
BOATS should hereafter be provided with q
police force for the protection of sober and
peaceable passengers against drunken aud dis
orderly roughs We allude to the riotous
conduct of these roughs on one of these boats
last Sunday. In fact, all our excursion boats,
especially on Sunday, should be provided with
posse of policemen, and our city authorities
should see to it that this provision is made and
enforced for the security of quiet citizens in
their recreations and for the maintenance Of
law and order. We would call the attention
of the Mayor to this subject, as especially de-
handing immediate action. If he can carry
out a plan Of this kind without infringing
upon the dignity of Jersey we trust he will
do So

THE ERIE RAILWAY, near Shohola, Penn
sylvania, was the scene of q narrow escape
from terrible accident on Sunday morning.
The switchuan appears to have been too
sleepy TO attend TO his business, and as the
eastward bound lightning express was near
ing him he displaced the switch. -Four pas
senger cars, the baggage car and the engine
were thrown from the track. Providentially
the train was moving slowly at the time or
there would have been another holocaust.
A few feet beyond the spot where
the accident occurred the Delaware River
flows eighty feet below, and only a
few feet further still is deep chasm through
which the Shohola Creek passes and over
which the railway runs. Down one OF these
precipices the entire train would have dashed
had Its speed been greater. Some sympathy
Is excited for the swichman because he is q
one-armed soldier, and has heretofore been a
careful switch SENDER. 1t is possible the
present narrow cscapesfrom the responsibility
of terrible accident may keep him wide
awake in the future, but 1t is not good policy
TO let personal sympathy condone carlessness
