The Injunction Modified.

Judge Barnard has found his late injunc-
tion against the Comptroller as to the payment
of money and issuing Of bonds on account of
the city little too sweeping. He yesterday
modified the injunction so as to enable the
Departments of Public Works and Public
Parks to prosecute the improvements in prog
ress under their control and to secure prompt
payment to the laborers. This is as it should
be. The work upon our city improvements
must not stop. The modification of this in
junction will be gratifying news to the Park
laborers. 1t is not every day Peter 3.
Sweeny can be found TO come forward and
advance money from his own pocket to pay our
city workmen. The order makes no provision
for the payment of the salaries Of teachers in
the public schools. The probability is that an
application to this effect from the proper
source would secure the prompt issue of
supplementary judicial order covering the
ground and remove the present difficulties in
the way of the teachers getting their we'll
earned pay. The final settlement of the
general order under the judges decision was
to have been made yesterday, but the Counsel
to the Corporation was not ready and IL was
postponed. The probability is that the order
will be definitely settled within two or three
davs

THE PEACE CONGRESS AT WAR.-A tele-
gram from Switzerland informs us that the
Peace Congress men who are assembled in ses-
sion at Lausanne are at war with each other.
A tumultuous scene was witnessed during the
meeting yesterday. Several of the leaguers
became bellicose. They rushed from one ex-
treme to the other, and attempted an open de-
fence of the acts Of the Paris Commune. The
old fogies were not prepared for this, and
hence the rumpus. Anything is good for a
change in the matter of the proceedings Of
these fossilized scntimentalists We trust,
however that they will be good enough TO
.'let ns have peace."

The nIuddle Ia Cl,y Mar,er,.

The muddle in city matters appears to bo
about as bad as ever, although approaching a
eliminating point The hitch in regard to
funds was partially relieved yesterday after
noon by the borrowing of some few thousands
by the Deputy Comptroller. This amount,
however, was soon absorbed by the payment
of arrears due 10 laboreis engaged in one
branch Of the public works-namely, the Gro
ton Water Bureau. There was also sensible
relief in the PUBLIC mind by the announce
ment Of the fact that Judge Barnard had 90
modified the character Of his injunction, upo1
application on behalf of the Department
of Public Parks, as to permit that depart
ment to raise moneys by the issuing OF bonds
or upon assessments for the Improvement oi
boulevards or avenues, or to be applied by
the Department of Public Works toward the
prosecution of any public work under the
care or control. He furthermore ordered, tt
use the precise language Of His Honor
in this action shall be held or construed as q
restraint upon the Comptroller OF said city, or the
Board Of A%pportionmens App therein. from issuing any
the purpose OF raising money for which requsitlou
has been made by the said Department Of Public
Parks, or which such department. may hereafter
deem necessary In the prosecution OF the several
works and improvements under their charge, or for
the payment Of la0orers and contractors Of said
partment, or otncr objects OF expenditure OF said
department.
We are informed that copy of the above
order was, after some delay in the Comp
troller's Office, officially communicated to the
Deputy Comptroller, whose only notice there
Of. so far as is at the present writing publicly
known, was to transmit to the department an
elaborate statement, arguing that all moneys
to be raised by the city should be collected
under the Two Per Cent act of the last session
of the Legislature, thus virtually ignoring the
modification of the injunction pronounced by
Judge Barnard, and placing the city essentially
in the ignoble position of wanting to borrow
money without substantial security to offer for
its repayment
We are inclined to think that there are but
few careful capitalists who will care to invest
their funds in 80 questionable a venture,
although we cand;dly believe that whatever
amount may be required for carrying on the
city government can be raised and will
eventually be redeemed to the last dollar. II
is understood that, SO far as the Department of
Public Parks is concerned, the city bonds will
be taken at par, if the Deputy Comptroller
will permit them to- be issued. There is q
plethora of money in the vaults of the savings
banks awaiting investment, and Wall street is'
ready to open its pockets if the Deputy Comp
trollcr will only give il a fair chance. In the
meantime we trust there will be conciliation
and compromise on all sides, in order that
the city's fair fame and financial integrity shall
now is.

synopsis Jor the Past T,Denty-rour Hours.
An area of low barometer. which was Tuesday
night northwest OF Lake Ontario. has remained
nearly stationary, with brisk southwest winds and
rain on the Lakes and the pressure continues
low In New England and New York. Tho
high barometer west OF the Mississippi has ad-
vanced slowly southeastward. The pressure has
risen very decidedly from North Carolina to
Florida but IS stationary In the southern portion Of
that state. The temperature has fallen slightly In
the Middle and Eastern States and decidedly in the
Southern and Gulf States Fresh northwest
winds are reported on the lakes and lighter winds
In the Atlantic and Gulf States. Southcrly winds.
with rain, continue at Key West, but northerly
winds, with clearing and clear weather, prevail
from Central Florida along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. Cloud and rain have prevailed on the lower
lakes. Telegraphic communication with Upper
Michigan Is stu interrupted.
Probabilities.
The rain and cloud In Western New York Will
probably move northeastward, over Maine without
extending southwark. Rising barometer and clear
weather will probably prevail, from Connecticut,
south, 10 the Gulf ana west, TO the Mississippi by
THURSDAY afternoon, with the highest barometer In
the southwest.

rhe Crisis in Austria-Francl, Joseph
Almost Tired Of Sovereignty.


We print this morning cable despatch,
special to the HERALD, to the effect that Fran
els Joseph is seriously disposed to abdicate
The cause is said to be dependency. The
Emperor is sick of the policy of conoiliation.
1t is well enough to conciliate when concila-
tion pays. But Francis Joseph, since 1866,
has been finding ont that the more he gives in
the more he is asked to surrender. Decen-
tralizati0n has most unquestionably, in Aus
tria, become necessity bat it is very hard
for the Austrian Emperor, the hereditary
chief so recently Of the German Confedera-
tion and the heir of ali the rights of the West
ern Caesars, to go on always yielding and hay
ing for his reward only further humiliation.
1t was well enough to grant autonomy to the
Hungarians, for Hungary had been for many
generations the most important unit in tho
Austrian empire. II was necessary to con-
ciliate the Magyars But when Bohemia and
Galicia and Carinthia aud Jllyria and the
Tyrol begin to insist that what is good for the
Hungarians ought not to be bad for them, the
Emperor not unnaturally takes fright. II is
quite true that Francis Joseph has been
crowned King Of Hungary. 1t is also true
that he has been offered and that he has pro-
missed formally to accept the crown of Bohe-
mia. But it is hard to be offered and to be
compelled to accept what one has been in the
habit of regarding as ones own. This
decentralization policy has, in fact, become
distasteful to the Emperor. With the
aid Of Count Won Beust be has been doing his
best since 1866; but now that the German
States threaten to secede from the empire,
and that Count Hohenwart finds it next to
impossible to remain President of the Coun-
Gil of Ministers, Francis Joseph can no longer
conceal from himself that decentralization
means the dissolution of the empire AS a
natural result he admits that retirement from
the cares OF State is desirable Uneasy lies
the head that wears crown. Isabella of
Spain is wanSerer Napoleon the Third,
only few years ago the mos. powerful
monarch in the world, is now an exile in
England. Queen Victoria, on whose domin-
ions the sun never sets, is pronounced phys-
cally and morally unit to rule her people,
Now Francis Joseph joins the unhappy
throng. 1t is our opinion that if monarchs
were wise they would retire one and all.
They are all rich, and they are all able to
retire with competency for themselves and
their families. The railroad, the telegraph
and the newspaper have made them of little
account William of Germany and Alexan-
der of Russia are the two monarchs of the
day who are not mere 6gureheads; but they,
too, must soon bow to the new forces. If
Francis Joseph mean, to retire he is wise;
and we think that most of his brother
Monarchs have had their day. The peo-
pies turn has come at last.

The Restless, Intriguing Bonnpartes.

However much the members of the Bona
parte family may differ in character in some
respects, they are all alike as ambitious polti-
cal intriguers. The ex-Emperor Louis Napo-
leon, Prince Napoleon (Plon-Plon) and the
rest have this same stamp of character for
which the first and great Napoleon was dis
tinguished. This 1t is, too, that makes them
the greatest revolutionists and firebrands in
Europe. 1t appears from a despatch from
London that q correspondence has been dis
covered in the Tuileries developing plan for
placing Napoleon on the throne of Belgium.
This is rather vague, it is true, as the time for
this scheme and the particular Bonaparte are
not mentioned but the plan is quite in keep
ing with the intrigues of the family. The
rumor has, at least, produced sensation in
Brussels. The sooner the governments and
people Of Europe utterly and forever ignore
the Bonapartes the better. These usurpers
are more dangerous than the worst leaders of
socialism or communism. They are the enc
mics Of liberty and the people. By cunning
management, and, probably, by the expenditure
Of large sums Of money, they constantly keep
their names before the public, through the
agencies of the press and by other means, in
order to humbug the world. 1t is a species
of charlatanism on a grand scale. When will
the world, when will France cease TO be de-
luded by such humbug3 The Bonapartes
have the presumption to think mankind were
made for their special use and Interest, as the
old barons in feudal times used to regard
their serfs and as our Shareholders used 10

adopted bis father. He despises class
rights and establishments-a fact which
he has himself set forth in his remark
able work, "Lothair." Circumstances over
which he had no control FIRST gave Disraeli to
the tory aristocracy of England. The sons
of the Barons were unwilling, however, to be
handed over to the great and powerful
Israelite. Since the moment of the failure of
his brief attempt at Cabinet rule in Downing
street Disraeli has been rather at loss as to
how be should place himself as public man
in the future. He pondered on the subject
during his attendance at the marriage of the
Princess Louise in st. Georges chapel, Wind
sor, and has been engaged In the mstur-
ing Of his resolution since. This resolution
has been, evidently, formed. Its direction
was sbadowed Enthusiastically yesterday in the
HERALD special telegram from London, which
reported the points Of his speech at Hughen-
den. 1t is shown in our letters by mail to-
day. Disraeli has weighed" the throne Of
England ''in the balance" and found it 'want-

European peoples and finds ii invincble. He
knows that the British democracy require the
lead of a man both Of brains and nerve and
the writer of "Lothair" presents himself as
the Joshua of the radical republicans Of the
day. The master of Hughenden stands forth
as a Pillar Of Light in the eyes Of the over
