THE ERIE RAILWAY LITIGATION. An i'm
portant result has just been reached in the
Erie Railway war. Yesterday, in the United
States Circuit Court an order was made by
bhe Master, Mr.. Kenneth G. White, that 80
soon as forty-seven thousand and odd shares
Of Erie stock shall have been registered at the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company they are
10 be delivered 70 the attorney Of Heath and
Raphael, the English shareholders, who have
carried on long, difficult end expensive war
Tor the recovery of their property In our State
and federal tribunals. Success, 40 far. has
crowned their efforts. But there Is another
branch OF the case still undetermined. Fisk, Jr.,
and Jay Gould lay claim to more than twelve
thousand shares, forming a portion OF the
sixty thousand originally alleged by Heath and
Raphael TO belong to them. Gould and Fisk
state that they are owners Of or have an In
terest in these twelve thousand shares, With
respect to which no order has yet be en- made,
nor will any be made, until the question as to
their ownership is determlned and, probably,
thai may have 10 be settled finally 10 England.

Tho sh"kins Among rho Banks.

1t is fact well worth notice. that thu shake
condition Of several of our nationa, hank.
makes no perceptible impression upon the
general current Of business, the stock market
or financial matters generally-no, not even In
connection with the very questionable conduct
Of the government national bank examiner
Some few years ago the suspension or insol-
vency Of one or two banks would have pro-
duced little financial earthquake; but now
three, four or more may fail, aud scarcely any
body except few depositors and bank
officials is affected. The mass of business
men aud the community know little about such
collapses beyond the little excitement given
by the publicity Of them through the ever
vigilant press. Tho furry about the Ocean
Bank, the Bank of the Commonwealth,
the Eighth National Bank and the Union
Square National Bank is but q ripple on the
great ocean of banking and financial affairs Ia
this commercial metropolis. The mass of the
people who hold the notes of these institutions
are secure, because the United States govern
ment is bound to redeem the notes and has in
its possession bonds for their redemption.
Whatever may be said of the national bank
system-and we are well aware Of the evils
connected with it-all must acknowledge this
safe and beneficial feature in its operation.
The note holders cannot lose unless there
should be great and general crisis aud the
government be unable to perform It's obliga-
tions. This is not likely to occur. True, In
case of such crisis, and the bonds held by
the government as security for the circulation
of the banks should fall below the value of the
notes to be redeemed, the loss would have to
be made up by the Treasury and the taxpayers
would have to bear the burden. But that
state of things can hardly be anticipated.
To make the community perfectly secure.
however, and in view Of the great privileges
given to the banks by the government, has
not the time come when these institutions
should be required to redeem their own notes
in speciea Should they not bo forced 10
resume specie payments? With the low and
constantly declining premium in gold that
time has probably arrived. This is a matter
that should receive the early consideration Of
Congress. As to depositors and others doing
business with the banks they must look out
for their own interests. They should see that
the banks with which they do business are in
a sound condition. 1t will be the duty Of the
government still to watch these institutions,
and to keep a sharp eye on its examining ofa-
cials In order to be sure the banks keep up
their reserve of legal tenders or specie and do
not exceed the operations allowed by law.
Should Congress provide for the return to
specie payments it may be necessary to amend
the National Bank act so as to have 6rmer
grip on the banks. They have been invested
with q national character by the government,
and the people look to it for ampe security.
The difficulties that are occurring with these
institutions may lead to q thorough overhaul
ing of them and to an amended or better
system.

The Arrest Of wilIiam N. Tweed and
Richard b. OenaeIiy.

The Arrest Of william N. Tweed and
Richard b. Osnasiiy.
At an carly hour this morning we received
Information that William N. Tweed and
Richard B. Connolly had been arrested on
criminal charges, on q warrant issued BY
Recorder Hackett, In his capacity, We
presume, a. q committing magistrate.
It Is understood that the proceed
ings are based upon affidavits made by
Keyser, who Is reported to have been promised
immunity in any prosecutions that may
be instituted on condition that he would bring
definite charges against the suspected city
officials. Keyser, 1t is said, came from South
Carolina-where he has been staying for the
benefit Of his health--a few days ago,
and the intended action of the Bureau
of Municipal Correction-for 1t is from that
quarter the complaint is supposed to origi-
nate-has been kept profound secret. The
charge against Tweed is felony; that against
Connolly, gross misdemeanor. The for
mer was arrested at the Metropol-
tan Hotel the warrant was formally
served on the latter at the Ludlow Street Jail,
where he is still in custody. This is the COM
mencement of criminal prosecution of the
men who are alleged to have been con-
cerned in the gross frauds committed
on the City Treasury, and is
the only form In which they can be effectually
reached The initiative proceedings taken by
Judge Bedford have thus led to good results.
The arrest and commitment of the accused
parties by magistrate was needed to en-
able the Grand Jury to indict, and,
this formality having been complied
with, 1t is to be hoped that the accused will
now have fair trial, and that justice will be
permitted to take It's course. Let the cases
be tried without prejudice and without favor,
and the people will be satisfied.

he City of Paris-A Gloomy Prospect foA
the Winter.

tho City of Paris-A Gloomy Prospect feA
tho Winter.
An unusually hard season, with business
dull and the working people generally out OF
employment will render Paris anything but
pleasant place of residence this winter. Al
if to make matters worse, the unquiet pervad-
ing all classes, owing to the unsettled state Of
political affairs, adds to the universal discon-
tent. The prospect for the winter Is gloomy
in the extreme. Heretofore at this season Of
the year the city was the seat Of business,
gayety and excitement. Now trade lacks
activity, sprightlincss is dead, and ex-
element, save that which portends dan
ger to the well being OF the republic, 10
nowhere experienced. The travellers who
usually flock to the once gay capital of France
are missed from the Boulevards. Business is
languishing, trade is almost at standstill,
the machinery Of the workshops is idle, tho
workmen are discontented aud Generalization
prevails to serious extent. The fact is unde-
niable that confidence In the present govern
ment is wanting; and this tends in q great
measure to influence the sad state OF affairs
in Paris to-day. Rumors of Bonapartist con-
spiracies and Of Bourbon intrigues oonduce
also to increase the discomfort of the
people. M. Theirs' temporzlng policy
and his evident leaning to the Bour-
bons, create feeling among the Bona
partsts aud the republicans not at all
reassuring of long continuance Of the
present state Of affairs. What that change
will be it is impossible now to say but Of
this we feel assured-that the present aspect
of matters, politically and otherwise, must
give way, or else discomfort In more revolu-
tionary form will make itself evident. It is
estimated that there are about fifty thousand
unoccupied apartments at the present time In
Paris, and the cost Of living has increased
fully Atty per ce1! within the last SIX months.
Numbers Of skilled mechanics are leaving or
have already left the capital on account Of
the dcarness Of everything. All these circum-
stances help to stimulate uneasiness, increase
discomfort and create an unsettled sud dis
satisfied yearniag everywhere and among
oil glasses. The imperialists refer TO the
empire, and argue that its restoration would
correct oil these evils; while the monarchists,
quite as eloquent, contend that the re-estab-
lishment of the monarchy would prove
panacea for all the infctions now endured by
tho people, It is plain, however, that con-
tinuance OF the existing rule will pave the
way for the change which appears to be inevi-
table. The Parisans cannot quietly submit
to the duness which now reigns in the capital
There is crisis approaching which will, 90
doubt, be hastened by the present gloomy
and dissatisfied condition of the city Of Paris.
THE MOBILE Register thinks that IL the
democratic party is disbanded "the hopes Of
liberty will bo taken away from thousands Of
democrats" But il it fall to pieces through
its own innate rottenpess aud corruption.

Congress Yesterday-A Day Of Peace an,
Good Works.

Consress Yesterday-A Day Of Peace aud
Good Works.
We are not called upon this morning to
record or comment upon any notable demon
stration in the national Capitol yesterday.
The Senate Chamber, which for the preceding
two days had been the scene Of an internecine
war that menaced the very existence of the
republican party, and was fraught with direst
dangers to the administration, was silent and
deserted. because the august body which
meets there, wearied with the conflict,
had agreed to q truce and adjourned until
Monday.
The House, which is of more bustling,
practical and Industrious character, was in
session but, instead of indulging in personal
or partisan hostility, it went quietly and
systematically to work disposing of private
bills, passing small appropriation bills, and
making provision for rebuilding the govern
ment edfces at Chicago, that were swept
away in the great confagration. The bill
for that purpose, which appropriates
four millions of dollars for the pur-
chase of site and the completion
of freproof building for the use Of the
Post Office, federal courts, Custom House,
Sub-Treasury and Pension and Internal Reve-
nue. Offices, provoked discussion, in which
some little partisan feeling entered, but which
developed very unanimous and creditable
sentiment in favor of the utmost liberality on
the part Of the government towards the devas-
tated city. Members of both political parties
wed with each other In giving expression to
that sentiment, and Notwithstanding an effort
by two democratic members-Randall, Of
Pennsylvania, and Holman, Of Indiana-to
diminish the cost of the proposed building and
site, the bill, as reported from the Committee
on Appropriations, was passed without divi-
sion.
Then the House with equal unanlmity
PASSED. I've other bills, appropristing about
three hundred thousand dollars for expense
to be incurred in carrying out the recent
treaty with Great Britain, and one supplying
deficiency caused by defalcation In the
Post Office Department.
Satisfied with the results Of its days work
the House adjourned over till Monday.

OF late years Americans have gained an
enviable no.oriety for extensive travel. It
is pleasure to chronicle that, wherever they
60. no matter In what cline they find them
selves, they are received with marked courtesy,
and as the representatives Of q great, power
full and free nation. A correspondent Of the
HERALD, writing from Egypt says that the
latest novelty in the land Of the Pharaohs is
the presence of fourteen young American
ladies, who are making tour Of the world for
instruction and pleasure. They are accom-
panied by competent guardians. Already
have they visited England, Ireland, Scotland,
France, Germany and Italy, aud now they
appear in Egypt, en- route still further
East. The Emperor of Brazil, who is
also in the Orient at present, received
them graciously, and, by strange coin
cidence, met those adventuresome daugh-
ters OF Columbia beneath the shadow of
the Pyramids. The visits of Americans
to Egypt recently have been somewhat re-
markable, and may have had much to do
with impressing the go-ahead Viceroy Of that
country with the greatness of the United
States, and possibly suggesting to his mind
some of the reforms introduced into his coun-
try. While Mr.. Stewards visit to Egypt and
the magnificent reception accorded to him was
still fresh in the minds Of the Egyptians, there
appeared the sensation of fourteen young
ladies from the United States, travelling for
pleasure and enlightenment. Year by year
the number of visitors from this country
to Europe increases. From trips across the
ocean to Great Britain and Ireland at first,
these annual excursions spread to the CONT
nent Of Europe, until now they extend to the
far East, and to countries heretofore known
only to the missionary or the scientific ex-
plorer. The experience gained by travel in
other lands cannot fail to exercise whole
some influence, and Americas fair daughters
now travelling abroad will return home inn
proved in mind and body by the healthful
effects Of their enterprise.

PININo AWAY OF THE PAssrvE-PossUM
Policy. Missouri Republican has been
significantly silent on the passive policy for
several days past. Even ''Blair's Rhetoric"
is unheard in the Senate Chamber, and John
Quincy Adams, as the Complete Letter
Writer,' furnishes no new material for the
newspaper press. The democratic barometer
indicates stormy weather at hand.

chair, in the event Of the resignation Of M.
Theirs, is forcgone conclusion; but the elec-
ton Of the Duke d'Aumale a. President Of
the republic would simply mean the restora-
ton Of monarchy. The Count de Chambord
has but small chance of ever ruling France;
but dAumale might be sort Of compromise
between the Count de Paris aud the legitimist
chief. In all that we have said we have stu
diously avoided mentioning the Bonapartes.
1t must not be imagined, however, that the
cause Of the House Of Bonaparte is dead.
MacMahon is Bonapartist, and MacMahon is
at the head Of the French army. That Presi-
dent Theirs has not before this time found
another commander-in-chief Of the French
forces Is to many convincing proof that the
President above all things breads the power
Of the army. and through the army the resto-
ration of the empire.
Our special despatch reveals state Of
things which is in the last degree unsatisfac-
tory. The long delayed crisis seems to have
come at last. The republic, the monarchy,
the empire-which ID to carry the day2 That
is the question which the French Assembly
and the French people and the French army
must now answer. The Orleanlsss seem to
have decided. The republicans must now do
their best. 1t remains to be seen how much
of the spirit Of Imperialism now remains in
France. ''The army of France" said poor
Rossel, ''has always been pretorian." With
the army Of France the final decision rests.
The New York herald., 1871-12-16

By series Of cable kilograms, dated in
London and at Sandringham, we are enabled to
present to our readers report Of the condi-
ton of the Prince OF Wales, which is almost
continuous from the hour of FIVE o'clock in the
morning yesterday to an early moment this
morning. The detail is partly professional, as
stated in the bulletins of the attending physi-
clans. and, in the remainder, secular and
popular, as expressing the announcements
which were made by the citizens Of the Eng-
lish metropolis. 1t is hopeful on the whole.
The danger to the life Of the patient was con-
siderably less. He was debilitated in strength,
but his enemy, the fever, was weaker also.
The Prince enjoyed sleep at intervals
during the night The members of bis
household were moro confident of the advent
of favorable convalescence The Queen, bis
mother, appears to have shared in the pleasing
anticipation, for we are told that Her Majesty
will take her departure from Sandringham
and return to Windsor to-day. His brothers
and sister. Beatrice, are preparing to follow
The summons which invited his sister, the
Crown Princess of Germany, to the sick room
was countermanded. The English people
were joyous at the prospect of the Princes
restoration to health. When the medical bulle-
tins announcing the good news were posted in
London each publication was hailed with
loud cheers by the crowd. The Prince may
suffer from relapse into the fever, but 1t looks
just now as if his bodily system had OBJ
tanned present mastery of the malady. A
London telegram states that certain members of
one body of English Churcbmen refused to offer
prayers for the recovery of His Royal Highness,
on the technical ground that they had not re-
ceived an order from their Bishop directing
them to do so-a fact which, while 1t assures
the world Of their submission to hierarchical
discipline and canon law, speaks i'll for their
personal charity and their pastoral interpreta-
tion of the words of the Sermon on the Mount.
