The best friends of Republican Franco VIII
hear with regret that it has become impossible
for Mr.. Jules Favre TO continue any longer in
the Department Of Foreign Affairs. Hisrcsig-
nation had been 80 often threatened, that at
last, when its announcement had almost ceased
TO create any anxiety, it is accomplished to the
general surprise lie is succeeded, not by any
of the distinguished persOnages whose names
have been mentioned in connection with the
post but by NJ. do Goulard, who is almost
wholly unknown TO the public except by bis
connection with The negotiation of the Treaty
of Brussels. He comes into Office at a good
time, when little OF serious work remains to
be done in his Department. But he will have
a difficult task to sustain himself i'll the posi-
ton of intellectual and moral superiority which
was the recognized right Of NJ. Jules Favre'
The Republican cause will gain on the floor OF
the Assembly, what it has severely felt the
need of, moderate, sagaciOus, adrot and III
coTuptiblo leader; and this may compensate
for its loss of prestige in tho retirement OF the
most eminent of the original Republicans OF
France from the Cabinet.

A startling array of very painful facts shows
that the panel-houses and keno establishments
lately suppressed at the indignant demand OF
the public are again open and fourishng IN
the Eighth Precinct, under the protection OF
Capt. Mcdonnell, whose collision with the
thieves there we have more than once been
called upon to expose. There is no doubt
that these criminals exist in these pubhc
nloces. safe from arrest, only because the
police fail to drive them out. Their olienses
are omen rs tho day; the criminals are known
to every officer of the precinct, and are la
mil;ar with many of them. There Is not a
Sergeant or Patrolman of Capt. McDonneiis
precinct who cannot furnish evidence enough

by his superiors. 1t ia Capt. McDonneiPs duty

The fears of the California press that The
railroad systcm Of that Steto Sy"7 to bo CON
sondaJed under one management appear TO be
realized at last, as q San Francisco dispatch
informs us that the negotiations for the sale
Of Che California Pacific Railroad TO the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad Company have finally
been cOnsummated. This transfer is unfOrtu-
nate TO the State so far as it is a misfortune
for any State to have its entire railway system
controlled by a single Company. The Califor-
mia Pacific, which is said to have sold out
owns trunk line from Sacramento TO San
Francisco Bay, on the west side of the Sacra-
mento River. with numerous branches north
and westward its terminus at tide water is
connected with San Francisco by steamer
making Che shortest line between that city and
thc capital. 1t has large fleet of steamers,
having absorbed the California Steam Navga-
ton Company last Spring. The Central Pa
cifc has long line from Sacramento to tide
water, by the way of Stockton, east of the
river, with numerous local branches and short
lines throughout the State. The purchase of
the California Pacific disposes Of q formidable
rival in the local trade and gives the Central
possession of every foot of railroad from the
Oregon line TO San Diego. What cOmbina-
! tions are TO DO made eastward, if any Is yet

POLITICdL LUNiCY.

Whom The gods wish to destroy they first
make mad. What Hall aud Holman, Tweed
and Connolly. and the Ribbon rioters, have
neglected doing among them to render the
name Of Democrat utterly odious from one
end of the country to the other, sundry Irish
men-most unworthy representatives OF their
race-in this city seem determined TO supply.
A police officer named Logan, who had not only
failed to do his duty in dispensing riotous
crowd on the 18th Of July, but when brought to
trial had behaved himself in an outrageous
manner, and insisted upon making OF his con
duet religious question, was very properly
dismissed the force ThercupOn, an Irish
meeting was held at Enmct Hall, to express
sympathy with the man who threw OIL tho
uniform of the base hireling policeman
rather than club Irish Catholics, even when
they were in O riot, and to propose his
election "to some high place of trust
"where those who dismissed him would
"havo to recognize him as superior"
The audience was in the most en-
thusastic mood; the orators were unusually
frank even for Irishmen; and ii the Demo-
cratic leaders did mot writhe with anguish
when they read of tho amazing folly of their
friends and supporters, they are not the astute
demagogues We take them for. "YOu have
"bcen always led to suppose said one of the
speakers "that the Irish ruled tho City of
New York, and when you pledged yourselves
" to support Hoffman and those who nOmi-
"nated him, he and they assured us IN turn
"hat cre,ything obnoriOus to as should hare been
"abolished. Have they kept that promise y
So far "a Gov. Hoffman is concerned, the
answer of the meeting seems to have been
emphatic. He il to be "swept out OF every
"pace of trust or power" and one orator, to
the incxpressible delight of the assemblage,
denounced him "a "tbe wretch, the butcher OF
Clutch descent, who helped the Orangemen
4" to insult hundreds Of thousands of Roman
Catholic Irishmen in this city" as the OIL
spring Of the Hessian mercenaries, ana "
murderer, if not In person then by agency"
1t would not be of much consequence what
a few score excited IriShmen saw fit to say in
Emmet Hall, if we could be sure that their
two or three hundred thousand countrymen
in New-York and its suburbs did not share
their sentiments. And if there is any duty which
before all others respectable Irishmen owe to
themselves and their party, it is to show that
whatever they think of Hoffman, they are The
friends Of order and equal rights. There is
danger that out of these deplorable riots there
may spring up violent sectaran and
anti-Irish sentiment, and the danger is created
by just such incorporate language as thai
used at Emmett Hall. The Democratic party
will certainly be severely injured by tn,
course which so many Of its supporters seen
bent upon pursuing. That of course we shall
not regret; but if religious prejudice and an
tipathies of race are to be introduced into oul
political warfare it will be grave misfortune
| for the whole country.

The London journals are still fishing in
muddy waters. From hints which are dropped,
we discover that The Echo and The Times are
disputing over the details of the Marguerite
Bellanger scandal, and that the old story Of
Eugenie's contemplating at one time a di-
vorce from the Emperor has been again re-
viyed. What possible good can come of this
tittle-tattle cannot be imagined. Scandal is
no less demOralizing and debasing because
royal peIsQnages are involved in it.

TIE CITYS ACCOUNTS.

Mayor Hall, in his memorable Card of last
Saturday, repels the suggestion that the ac-
counts of our City's purchases and payments
are secret, and adds:
"Those OF every claim paid have been FOR some
time in process OF printing for public information and
were annexed appendices TO tho main Report OF the
Finance Department which recently accompanied the
Mayors last Message They have always been duly
fled according to law. and within the periods provided
by statute In the office Of either the Clerk Of the Com
mon Council or OF the Board OF Supervisors And they
have always at the service any citizen who de-
sired TO them, and no application has been
made TO me for their inspection as fled There has
never been any intention Of ooncealment and there has
mover been any at all"
Comments by The Tribune.
Our friends who write us from q distance
asking why we have not printed these ac-
counts, or the gist of them, may rest assured
that we shall print them 80 soon as we can lay
hands on them. Up to this hour, we have
printed all we could get, and as fast as we
could get them; and this we shall continue to
do. We printed every word of the thick, close
volume lately issued that began with the
Mayors Message, followed by the Controllers
Report; but if any one found therein such a
statement in detail of the Quarterly and An
nual Receipts and Expenditures of our City
and County as the law plainly requires, he has
sharper eyes than ours. Since that, we have
been earnestly trying to procure those ac-
counts but have obtained none but those first
printed in The Wmes-procured, we know not
how, nor do we much care. We hold that
they are the rightful property of the
taxpayers of this City, any one of whom
may reclaim them wherever he can find them.
If we could have obtained them first we
should have given them at once to our fellow
taxpayers; if we could obtain the residue,
we should now do the like by them. Our only
reason for not printing them already is our
inability to lay hands on them. We are now
told that they will be ready week or so
hence We hope they may be; but the
Mayors assurance that they have always been,
and still are, ut tho service of any citizen
" who desired to sec them." il not con-
llmed by our experience We have " wanted
