during the year over eight and quarter mil
lions of dollars, the whole cost of the war to
the present time having reached the large total
Of one hundred and ninety three millions of
dollars. The deficiency in revenue and the
excess OF expenditure for the year vary about
four millions of dollars from the budget esti-
mates; but in the first place the causes are
mainly attributable to the Franco German
war, falling off in the customs collections,
owing to previous excessive importation, and
short coffee crop; and, in the second place,
to the expenditure of considerable sums for
internal Improvement.
Since the agitation of the Emperor's trip to
Europe there has been some political prognos-
tication OF abdication and of revolution; but
these matters are not to be seriously thought
OF. 1t is true that republican club" is in
actual existence in Rio. with a large sign
announcing its proclivities publicly displayed
over the club house door, in the principal
street of the city, and that some of the local
officers in the interior provinces and along the
Amazon are in the sorehead category but as
whole there is every reason to assume that
there is brilliant future yet in prospect for
the country even under it's monarchical rulers.
To the realization of this future the existing
government may do much by the tightening
and equalization of taxation, by the suppress
sion of Illegal or onerous exercise of power
by those in authority, and by the amelioration
of the condition of the people in the suspicious
manner which has so recently been inaugu-
rated

that he is their strongest man, but, neverthe-
less, the Chief Justice understands that 'sthere
is considerable opposition among some of the
republicans to Grants denominations" and il
is the learned jurist's opinion, too, that the
people pay of the national debt, and would
pay it of ''as readily with any man in the
White House as with General Grant" From
all this it is manifest that Mr. Chase, so far as
General Grant is concerned, believes, with
Mr.. Greeley, in the one-term principle; but
from all this we only see that, as politician
Mr.. Chase does not comprehend the great
events of the day nor their pressure upon the
public mind in reference to the Presidential
question.
We ntell him that General Grant is recog-
nized by the people as great improvement
upon Andrew Johnson in the matter of the
redemption Of the public debt; that the great
treaty of the Joint High Commission Is win
ming golden opinions for the administration
from all sorts of men; that the horrible
atrocities of the Paris Commune have
produced great moral reaction even
In the United States in favor Of 'the
powers that be-" that the republican malcon-
tents arrayed against General Grant are dis
appointed spoilsmen and place hunters and
that while the great Powers of Europe recog
nize the commanding position among the
nations gained by the United States from the
honest peace policy which has marked Gen
eral Grants administration, he is recognized
at home as the master of the Presidential sue
cession. There was considerable opposition
among some of the republicans" including Mr..
Chase, TO the denomination of Abraham Lin
coin in 1864; but with his denomination all
this opposition melted away. So it will be
with the denomination Of General Grant. Nor
does this new departure promise the demo-
cratic restoration anticipated by the Chief
Justice with good candidate for in placing
the democracy upon the republican platform
it makes them the endorsers of all they have
been condemning and fighting for the last ten,
yea, for the last forty years. To sum up our
case with the Chief Justice, from present ap-
pearances his political career is ended, and
General Grant, against all corners, is far
ahead, and holds the inside track for 1872.

Earl Granville Hopes the Two Countries
VIII Always BE Friends.


VIII Always BE Friends.
la these words Earl Granville concluded
the speech he delivered at the banquet of the
Golden Club in London, last Saturday
There is a great deal of meaning in them,
particularly as they came from the able
British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
and were inspired by the theme of the treaty
just made between England and the United
States. To these words every right-thinking
Englishman and American will say amen.
Nor do we doubt that Lord Granville was
earnest and sincere in expressing the hope
that England and the United States would
always be friends, for he is one Of the most
advanced and liberal minded British statesmen
as well as one of the ablest. At last, and
after continued jealousy of this country and
ence, the foremost men of Great Britain are
changing their policy. They see the neces-
sty of friendly relations with the Great
Republic-of closer union with the younger
and greater English speaking nation. We
think, too, the mass Of the English people
to the United States
No doubt this change OF sentiment or feeling
springs from selfish motive. Nations are
generally selfish in their policy, and none
more 80 than England. II we wNce weak or
in great difficulty she would, probably, be as
overbearing as heretofore and would damage
US II she thought her own interests would be
promoted by doing so. Nor do we think the
aristocratic and governing class of England
has any good feeling for our republican insti-
tutions, for they are standing protest against
the monarchical and class government of Eng
land. But this republic has got beyond the
age of childhood. 1t is q giant DOW. The
British are conscious Of this fact, and in this
lies the secret of the recent outburst of friend
ship Well, we will not dwell upon the self
ishness of England nor upon her past conduct,
but look to the future. She is comparatively
isolated now in the great movements in Europe.
Her prestige is gone there, and disposition
Is manifested by the great Powers to snub her.
Her greatest and frmest European friend,
unhappy France, is PROSTATE. She has to
look to other friends and alliances, and the
most natural one is the American republic
If England be resolved 10 maintain cordial
relations with us and will march with
us in the way Of progress, assimi-
lating her institutions more and more to
ours, she will not only find firm ally in the
United States, but will become, as the bull
wark and regulator of freedom, great and
controlling Power in Europe again--the nation
to which the people of that Continent will look
for support in their struggle for liberty and
self-government

THE SAILING OF THE PoLARIs. -The
steamship Polaris, Captain Hall, commander,
does not sail to-day for the North Pole, as
was at frs. intended. This little vessel is now
the objeetof attention to scientific men all the
world over. In day or two Captain Hall,
with skiful crew, will be of to those mys-
terious but attractive Polar regions, which
have tempted so many, which have brought
sorrow to so many, and which have brought
fame TO not q few. Franklin, McClintock,
Hayes, Kane-all have made names. Still a
mystery remains Captain Hall may solve
the mystery. At oil events, if he does not solve
the mystery, be may make fame.

PRESIDENT GRANT, in an interview with
our correspondent at Long Branch yesterday,
stated that Secretary Fish had not resigned
and he hoped he would not that Tom Muir
ply is not to be removed from the Custom
House, and that no changes are contemplated
in the federal Offices In Brooklyn. The noise
made about these matters, said the President,
is the rumpus that outsiders kick up in trying
to get inside the official coach.

Two PECULIAR MURDERS have just occurred
in Maryland. One is that of an insane woman,
ladylik in her appearance, who was shot by
one Of party Of four men, who alleges that
be mistook her for chicken thief of whom
they were In search. The other Is that Of an
aged negro man, who. coming within range
of the gun" OF DR.. Bean. Of Charles county,
was naturally shot, and DR.. Bean now relies
on temporary insanity for his defence under
The constitution as il is. The first murder is
beyond any justification, for even chicken
thieves are not to be shot down with impunity,
and we can see no acceptable reason for the
latter one Temporary insanity being con-
sidered, we believe, merely legal quibble),
except the great temptation the chivalric Bean
had 10 shoot at what was apparently good

and, though providing only for gradual
extinguishment of the peculiar institution"
It must be conceded that it is fully as radical
as the occasion would seem to demand or the
condition Of the nation to justify. The peace
full disenthralment Of a slave people will
always be question to be governed by con-
siderations of opportunity, power and appro-
priateness OF method, as well as of humanity.
Hitherto there has been little else than talk"
on the subject Of emancipation in Brazil.
Action has at last been resolved on, and,
though the present measure may be some
what modified before its passage, there is little
reason to doubt that by virtue Of its provi-
sions no slave will be found in the empire at
the close Of the present century.
in the interest Of the nation the Cover nment
has lately evinced its desire to promote com
merce by granting subsidized concession to
an American company to run coast line of
steamers between Para and Rio Janeiro, with
semi-monthIy trips and numerous franchises
have lately been awarded to both English and
American capitalists and engineers for the
construction Of lines Of interior aud coast
railways, docks and other commercial enter
prses. The finances of the nation are by no
means embarrassed, and though there has
been marked falling on in the revenue
Of the past year the diminution Is readily
traceable to local causes, and is by no means
owing TO the general status Of the nation.
