The Boston Adcertiser of the 3Oth October
publishes an elaborate editorial article on
''The Republican Party: Its Duties and
Prospects" The article was probably pre-
pared under the supervision of Senator Sum
ner and Secretary Boutwell,. 1t is more
potent than an address from republican
State committee, inasmuch as it takes the tack
toward its objective point, and that point =
mainly is to remove the possibility of the or
ganization OF new opposition party of for
midable proportions, which might be chiefly
composed Of republicans. "It is the part al
wisdom" says the writer 10 the Adocrtiser,
ito make the organization Of such party i'm
possible by removing all reasonable pretexts
for it," These pretexts are briefly euumer-
ated, aud the conclusion arrived at is ex.
pressed in the following words -
The necessity is upon the (repubtc party to
nominate ana support for public officers men o(
approved integrity OF character and wisdom in con
duct broad ~ IN a their ana above the
quarter century 80 far as It can now be forecast
will be pre-emnently the development OF the re-
sources and capacities OF the country in an era Of
domestic security, and the conservation OF the hap
plness OF the people under the penedcent conditions
OF liberty regulated by law.
This is the general sentiment of the country,
and when the proper time arrives it is the
hope of a multitude of good republican citi-
zens-democrats and otherwise-that electoral
tickets for President will be formed in the
several States-tickets composed of the wor-
thiest men of all parties, men who, properly
elected, shall meet in the Electoral College,
according to constitutional provision, and
there cast their votes for President of tho
United States. II is about time this constitu-
tional provision was observed, and the fiction
of an Electoral Presidential College no longer
be tolerated. The Boston Adgertiser is
awakening public sentiment in propsr
direction.

William H. Tweed, head Of The Dspartusst
OF Public Works and candidate for re-electiss
10 the State Senate, contradicts most 6stly u
the columns Of the HERALD TO-DAY 4 rumer
that prevailed yesterday afternoon 10 the
enecs tnat ne had resigned his municipal once
and Withdrawn from the canvass for the Levis-
lature. Not only does he give denial IN tbs
report which . few hours ago startled the
politicians and set the loungers Of the Otv
Hall Park crazy with excitement, but he states.
in addition, that he has no intention of rst,r;n,
voluntarily from the position that has proved
so remunerative to him under the city govern
ment, and that he intends to win his Senatorial
fight, to 60 to Albany and to Aght out the
battle in which he is engaged to the
bitter end. From present indications
it would appear that Tweed's boast in
regard to his Senatorial contest is not an
empty one. The probability is that he will
carry his district with the aid Of patronage,
money and counting by an enormous majority.
Indeed, it is evident that the opposition have
regarded it as useless to make a serious fight
against him, from the character of tho candi-
date they have put into the field against him.
No person can have serious thought Of
electing ODonovan Rossa to represent New
York in the State Senate But one Office held
by Tweed is at least within reach of the pe0-
pie who have been plundered by him and his
associates of millions of dollars. Mayor Hall
can remove the unfaithful officer from the
head of the Street Department and place
such man as General George B.
Mcclellan there in his stead. The
fact that Tweed shared in the profits
Of contracts made with the city government
at least is well established by the transactions
in the Broadway Bank, and this must be quite
sufficient evidence of wrong to the people to
induce Judge Barnard to follow up the rule he
has laid down in his Court, and to 'sinvent .
remedy" whereby the citizens can be protected
against fraud and robbery. Whatever may be
the result of the Senatorial election in the
Fourth district Mayor Hall should at once re-
move Tweed from his position under the mu-
nicipal government. If the Mayor will do this
before election he may even succeed ia defeat
ing Tweed for the Senate. Let good demo-
crat, Of unimpeachable record, Tammany or
anti -Tsmmany, be nominated in the Fourth
district, and with Tweed thrown overheard
and removed from the Department Of Public
Works the district may yet be redeemed.

Frce Trade or Protection In Eur0pe-T
Thiers' Ultimatum to England.

Xniers Oiti@otum 10 En8eono.
President Theirs is about to drive the ques-
ton of free trade or commercial protection to
an absolute issue between France and England,
as will be seen by HERALD special cable
telegram to-day. The French statesman
adheres TO his recent ultimatum on the subject
Of the non-renewal of the trade treaty of
Bonaparte and Golden. This course of policy
on the part of France may produce the
most serious consequences to the existing
industries of the Old World. 1t will primarily
revolutionize the present money averages of
the British manufacturing capitalists, and
thus still more disturb the questions of wages.
house rents and taxation in the United King
dom. To the French people it will bring an
advance in the cost of many foreign textile
fabrics aud articles of hardware to the use of
which they have become accustomed during the
Years Of the enforcement Of the arrangement.
1t will, however, cause more profuse con-
sumption Of home manufactured articles, and
thus open employment for larger number of
hands in France-a consideration of first ne
oessity, il may be, for M. Theirs. The initial
point OF this great forthcoming international
European agitation will be better understood
by perusal Of the statement Of England's
position on the treaty renewal subject, which
we append to our special news report to-day.

lis scabbard. France. for many years her
faithful ally. was crushed and dismem-
bered, and England could only look on. take
comfort from the words OF her Prime Minister
and bless the "streak Of silver sea-" n nov
begins to be seen, however. that this state OF
things has lasted long enough. Prussia, OF.
rather, Germany, has become the bugbesr of
Europe, and even Great Britain ID no longer
satisfied that she is safe. A little more sue
cess for Prussia on the Continent, and the
British Isles may look out for not 'threat-
ened" but an actual invasion. II IL quite
manifest that in the early future Europe must
pass through the agonies Of another dreadful
war. Germany is not yet . unit. and Bis
marck is impatient to crown The edifce.
Russia, rather than Austria, stands In the
way. A conflict between Russia and Ger
many will moro or less involve the whole Of
Europe. Is England once again merely 10
look on? The popular sentiment says mo. :"
Bismarck may revise Poland il he will; Aus
tria may retire to the Lower Danube IL she
pleases. But II hand is laid on Turkey, or
on Sweden, or on Denmark or on Holland
Britain must draw the sword. II Is stated
with some authority that in the event Of any
further attempts being made to change the map
of Europe in the interest of any Of the great
Powers the British government will at once
take possession of Egypt Egypt is necessary
to them as the highway to their Indian en-
pire, and many of the statesmen of England
are of the opinion that had Lord Palmerston
now been living and full of vigor the land Of
the Pharaohs would be under the control Of
an English Viceroy.
1t is quite possible, as we have said, that
these Cabinet meetings have been held quite
as much for the consideration of domestic as
of foreign affairs. But 1t is not to be denied
that the unsettled and menacing state Of
things on the European Continent lends to
them an Importance which is not to be lightly
esteemed. We are willing to hope for peace,
but the war clouds are numerous and threat
ening.

shield them from indiscriminate accusations
In country at once so enlightened and 80
fond of flair play" Is ours. individuals be-
longing to any sect or nationality are found
to have taken any voluntary part in producing
80 much ruin and devastation, let them
receive the most severe punishment which
the law prescribes for 20 base and fendish q
crime. But the dogma Of visiting the sins Of
the fathers upon the children, or those of the
children upon the fathers, does not belong to
our time or country, and 1t is the duty OF
every good, intelligent citizen to oppose it, as
much more dangerous, as well as more illog-
cal, than that of Papal infallibility-the dogma
which causes most noise and does least good
ut the present day.
There have been much more destructive
6res than even that of Chicago. Such have oc-
Cured at Constantinople, Copenhagen, Naples
and London. Besides the almost incredible
number Of persons burned during one of the
great fires Of London Q2l2), three thousand
we're drowned in the Thames. If our limited
space permitted we could present still more
startling facts; but were it otherwise. were
our fires the most destructive that have ever
occurred, there would be no use in whining
over them. The finest part of every great
city Is that built on the site of great con-
dagration. There is, however, one point of
view In which the Chicago fire is distinguished
above all others, of ancient or modern times.
No other are-indeed, no calamity of any
kind-has created so noble and universal an
outburst Of substantial sympathy. This is
one fact which the American historian OF the
present day may record with pride, not only
as an honor to our civilization, but as an ex-
ample to the good and generous of future
ages

HERALD special telegram from Berlin,
dated in the German capital yesterday, reports
that Prince Gortchakoff had audience of the
Emperor William on Sunday. The interview,
which was strictly private, was of very
heightened duration-unusually SO as it ap-
pears to us from the wording of our despatch.
The Russian statesman was received by Prince
Bismarck yesterday. The utmost privacy was
maintained on this occasion also. Gortcha-
koff arrived in the Prussan capital last Satur-
day. The object of his mission permitted of
no delay, evidently, as the hours of the Sab
bath were devoted to its fulfilment. What
that object was it is impossible to say just at
present. in consequence of the manner in
which it was presented to the German mon
arch, and subsequently to his trusted
Premier. The rank Of the men engaged in
these personal conferences gives assurance
that the subjects which were spoken of were
of the very highest Importance. The essen
tials will be developed in due time. When
that period arrives 1t is probable, more than
probable perhaps, that Europe, the East, ay,
even the great republic Of America, will be
astonished at the consequences of these i'm
perial audiences in Berlin.

AN EIGHTEENTH WARD TARGET COMPANY,
Captain Dorian, was on an excursion to
Dutch Kills yesterday, and in firing at the
target accidentally or carelessly killed small
boy who accompanied them and mortally in
jured another. These striking" demonstra-
tions, gotten up always on the eve Of an elec-
tion merely to rob the politicians and sell
votes to the best advantage, are nuisances of
the worst sort, and now that their reckless
firing has resulted 10 fatal accident it g to
be hoped the authorities will find some means
OF abating them altogether.

THx EPIDEMIC OF FRAUD Down South. -
II seems as IL the whole country were being
swept by cyclone Of official fraud and cor
ruption. Besides the astounding Developments
in this city, we find that startling frauds have
been discovered in relation to the Tennessee
bounty claims, aud that even one Dfthc usually
high-toned and honorable communities in
Kentucky has been similarly afflicted, resulting
in the arrest Of the Mayor aud many officials.
When we take into considerations the enormous
railroad swindes in Georgia and Alabama,
and the notoriously corrupt practices Of the
Louisiana Legislature, we may well ask what
is becoming OF us as . civilized nation. But
now that the knife has been applied to the
municipal ulcers in the body corporate Of New
York city we trust the good work Of cutting
them out will not cease until we can congratu-
late the people upon the restoration Of the
local az well as our national government 10 .

yr., has been granted on the suit Of Josephine
Nansfeld-Lawlor. That energetic female
seems determined to get those letters into

her case we are driven TO the opinion that she

rienced as he is in litigation.

objection urged on that point but that
is only the legal quibble which small
lawyers with hopeless case would be likely
to entertain. The Attorney General aud his
assistants have studied that phase of the ques-
ton before, and are still prepared and anxious
to prosecute all the cases to conclusion,
satisfied that in cases Of such manifest i'm
portance such makeshift flaws and objections
will be of no weight against the demand of
the people for an honest and immediate inves-
tratiou.

TuE GovERsMESr has begun, as will be
seen by our Washington dispatches, in
earnest to solve the Utah difficulties, and with
the same persistency that has ever charac-
terized President Grant. The Mormons should
not deceive themselves with any flattcring
hope that there will be some patching up
of the controversy. Our dispatches from
Washing gton, as well as intelligence from
other sources, exhibit a calm determination
on the part Of the government to sustain the
judiciary in the settlement Of polygamy and
to bring murderers TO justice. The instruc-
tions Of the government 10 the Judiciary in
Utah are free from every tsint Of persecution.
The Chief Justice has been instructed to
review the cases of reported murder, and
whatever troops were necessary TO protect the
Court and carry into effect its judgments the
government would supply on demand. 1t is
well for the Mormons to know this, and not TO
deceive themselves TO their injury.
