HoW Mrs. Gen. Sherman tods Received IN Neio York
On Tuesday night Mrs. Gen. Sherman arrived
in New York city by the Hudson River railroad
reaching the depot at about IL O'Clock D. m Her
husband was prevented from meeting her but
fortunately she found a friend on the train-Mr
H. III. Stewart, president of the Continental
Bank Note COmpany-who volunteered to prO-
vide her with carriage and accompany her to
q hotel. Upon emerging from the depot Mrs
vile and numerous gang of hack-drivers bag
gage-smashers, &c, who lined the streets, be-
sleging belated and bewildered passengers and
driving them almost to desperation. Mrs Sher-
man was surrounded by these yampyres who
endeavored to despOil her of her baggage Mr.
Stewart made valiant resistance in her behalf
utbeing crowded upon and crushed by superior
numbers, was at length fam to calf for
police assistance. In this instance Mr.
Stewart called in vain for municipal aid.
for the policemen there simply smiled
at the difficulties which surrounded him
and the distinguished lady in his charge
Finally, Mr.. Stewart made a desperate plunge
INTO the multitude of bowling roughs, and by a
dexterous use of hands and feet, Succeeded in
knocking and kicking his way through the
crowd, and safely deposited his charge in a
passing stage. Mr.. Stewart distinctly Showed
the marks of his encounter with the ruffianly
gang, for his hands were bleeding from the cuts
they had received, and his clothes were torn and
bloody. Mrs. Sherman escaped without bruises
thanks to her escort, but was considerably dam
aged as TO apparel. Upon reaching the stage.
Mrs. Sherman remarked, '.this is a pleasant
way the first city of the United States has of
receiving strangers" Mr.. Stewart replied that
so long as the city was governed by thieves
ana the police force made up OF roughs and
rowdies, We could expect no better treatment"-

THE PAPAL GUARANTEEs-A NEW PHASE OF
THE QURsrroN.-It begins to be rumored that,
after all, the Italian government may not
march into Rome on the LIST of July. It is
said that the King hesitates to take the final
step. The Pope shows no signs of yielding.
The Papal guarantees do not satisfy him,
liberal as we must continue to regard them.
II is now limited that the settlement of the
Italo-Roman question may yet lead to an
International European Convention. The
ground which is taken by some of the friends
Of the Pope is that the guarantees Of the
Italian Parliament are no guarantees at all.
They are the guarantees only of the present
Parliament Of Italy. What this present Italian
Parliament has done another Italian Parlia-
ment might undo. This 10 the view Of An
toneli. To make the guarantees satisfactory
what is wanted is the pledge not of Italy
alone, but the pledge Of all the Great Powers
of Europe. Less than this the Pope Is not
likely to accept But win Italy so humiliate
herself?

prisonment of the Governor and Project of
Morelia, and that both these officials have
been released. A proposal had been made
for calling an extra session Of Congress, and
a supporter Of President Juarez had been

items there was little new transporting in the

The wheat crop in the Western section is 50
far advanced as to be quite out Of the dan
gers TO which the younger growth is more or
less subject Complaints have arisen in some
few localities, but their limited extent has
failed almost to attract attention. There il
no question that the wheat crop of the West
will be equal to if not greater this year than
ever before known. All other cereals are in
a like promising condition, and the yield will
be correspondingly large. In Virginia, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, where large quantities
Of wheat are raised, the harvest has already
commenced and will be nearly over by the 4th
of July. The usual annual growl has reached
us from those sections, but as it is chronic for
the farmers in certain districts in the States
mentioned to grumble about short crops in
order to bear the MARKET not much attention
Is given to their complaints
1t is rather early to speculate to any great
extent about the corn crop. At present it
promises well in all parts of the country, but
extreme dry spells Of weather or unusually
wet seasons, which are liable to occur between
now and September, have such blasting effects
upon 1t that 1t cannot at any time be calcu-
lated upon as sure until after the ears have
almost reached their proportions.
There is no doubt that potatoes In tho
West are in great danger. A migratory bug,
which seems to have travelled from the neigh
borhood of the Pacific slope, has attacked the
plant and in some sections completely annihi-
lated it. The farmers dread its approach, and
are trying to discover something that will
arrest its progress.
The cotton crop will not be as large as last
year, but there seems as yet to be very little
foundation for the anticipations that are
coming up from the South Of comparative
failure. The planters look for large prices,
and the only way for them to achieve realiza-
ton of their hopes is to make current their
cry of short crop.
There is no doubt that the farming interests
of the country have not been neglected this
year by benign Providence.

ooCiSucS VI Europe are meudcing. lnty
threaten to involve the Continent in
revolution. The monarchies may be
in danger. There are great numbers Of these
Internationals, both in Germany and in Russia,
particularly in Poland. To divert these from
their purpose, to keep them occupied by fight
ing, and to hold them down under the heel of
powerful armies, gigantic war, embracing
the objects mentioned, would prove most effec-
tive. Besides, the German and Russian auto
Gratis and aristoeracies have not only the
powerful motive Of maintaining their prlvi-
leges against the democratic movements Of the
time, but they can appeal to all conservative
people on higher ground. The Interna.ionals
are threatening the very framework of civilized
socety-the rights of property and of personal
liberty. The vast surging masses of the
working people feel their oppression-that
oppression which has come down from the
Dark Ages aud is interviewer in all the RANT
fcations of European society-and they are
struggling, like the LAGOON, to work out Of
their misery; but they are ignorant, and are
governed more by brutal passions than reason.
They even attack religion, that blessed Chris
tianity which is eminently the religion of the
poor and which has done more than anything
else to civilize the world. They will not
have God, because, unfortunately, the priests
have been too ready to aid their oppressors
and to keep them in ignorance. The inter-
nationals, through their dangerous and i'm
practicable theories and their violence, are
rallying all the conservative people, and even
those who are progressive, to support the
present order of things-monarchy, aris-
tocracy vast standing armies and other evils
of past ages. Instead of taking the United
States-this great republicans model,
they adopt the destructive socialist and COM
munist theories of Blanqui, Proudhon and the
Jacobins of 1870.
In view of these movements or possible
movements on the part Of the working classes
on one hand, and the monarchists, military
autocrats, the Church hierarchy and privileged
classes on the other, we think terrible con-
fict is coming. To avert this or stave it off
governments may resort t. outside wars.
This, possibly, may be one Of the objects
Bismarck has in view, as we have said before.
And here the question arises, Will this lead to
purely military or Cossack governments over
Continental Europe? Is Europe to be Co.'S
sack or republican,? The issue may come
soon. If the people should be too impatient,
and, in their ignorance, precipitate conflict,
one Of two things, probably, would be the
immediate result-sither reign Of disorder
would be inaugurated or they would be
crushed under the heels Of the soldiery.> If
the governments were wise they would
instruct the masses and lead them on, step by
step, to freedom, religion and better condi-
ton. From present indications Europe has
to pass through terrible ordeal. Still, as the
mass of mankind become more enlightened,
and they see better the example we have set
of maintaining republican freedom with order,
they may in time reach the same end.
