Our Special Report from Rome-A Crisis
at Hand In the Holy City,

Our Special Report from Rome-A Crisis
at Hand In the Holy City,
The special telegram from Rome which ap-
pears in our columns to-day supplies news
report which is of very considerable interest.
The public situation which has existed in
such doubtful and hesitating manner in the
Holy City since the entry Of the Italian army
is about to be brought to crisis. King Victor
Emmanuel has again asserted his monarchical
authority within the municipal territory. The
act has been accomplished in q manner which
renders its perpetration extremely novel in
the history of the royalties. His Majesty
officers have notified their intention of taking
possession of the buildings and grounds be-
longing to the Convent st. Andre, near the
Quirinal. The tenements are required for the
purpose Of being altered into stables for the
royal stud, the horses of which are, as is
known to Continental travellers, very nume-
rous and the finest in Italy. The Convent
st Andre is situated in the neighborhood Of
the American College in Rome-one Of the
noblest ecclesiastical seminaries at the Chris
tian centre-and the King can hardly disturb
the inmates of the one without annoyance to
the students in the other. The knowledge of
this fact caused the royal officers to hesitate
in carrying out the will of the Ministers. The
Pope recommended the inmates of the st.
Andre and of all the other city converts to
stand firm and not to yield their right Of
property except in the presence of
the hesitation. This offended the revo-
lutionary party Of the 'reds." It's leaders
inquired, hW6y does the King stand al the
door of the ST. Andre Convent after his can
non have battered the walls of Rome?" A
very pertinent remark, and appropriate in its
place. The Italian monarchy is in a difficult
position in Rome. Should the King attempt
to eclipse Caiigula in his care for his horses
he has the Supreme Pontif, with many for
eign Catholic nationalities, in opposition in
his path. Should he attempt to recede from
his stable and pitchfork coup he has the revo-
luton behind him. How will he act? II is
extremely difficult to say. He will have to
determine very soon, for second tele-
gram from Rome announces the arrival of
MenotH Garibaldi in the city. Menotti is
very well posted with regard to the tendency
of public affairs in Europe, and should events
come to crisis in Rome he may yet ride the
winning horse on the Italian Campagna. The
animal may even be taken from the Kings
collection of ''hyers," as Menotti is not very
particular with regard to his own way of
getting ahead SO that he is 'little ahead"
at the conclusion. 's

measures of municipal reform, were well calcu-
lated to strengthen the party inside and out
side of New York, but they came too late to
make any material impression upon these
October elections, and, we conjecture, too late
even for New York in November.
In 1868 the Tammany managers deliberately
threw away the game Of the Presidential cleo
ton in order to make sure Of New York city
and State, and to lay therein solid political
and financial foundation for the Presidency in
1872. Six months ago, to all outward appear
ances, in the absolute possession of city and
State, and city cash and city credit, with
boundless resources at their command, the
Tammany managers held in their hands the
democratic trump cards for the Presidential
succession. Now, Tammany, as . political
oligarchy, is demolished. Her prestige is
gone, and her power to buy up Legislatures
and party conventions is taken away. She is
In disgrace, and cut off from her supplies !;
she is only in condition to permit our
November election in the State and the
city to 60 by default. Charged with
election repeaters and with false count
Ing Of the ballots to any extent desired,
the ''Ring" have now no incentive, If they still
had the power, to indulge in these amuse-
ments. The neglect of the 3Riug" masters to
get up q grand Tammany ratification of the
Rochester Convention tells the story. De-
moralized, disorganized, cut up into cliques
and factions and shorn of their Tammany sup
plies, the democrats of the city in this coming
election will fall, on their State ticket, far be-
hind their late crushing majorities, and the
republicans, from all the indications of the
day, including these October elections, will
recover this fall the Empire State, State ticket
and Legislature.
The argument and the results involved in
these Pennsylvania and Ohio elections, in our
Judgment, settle this question. 1t will be
remembered that in 1868, after these October
State elections, the democrats gave up tho
Presidential battle of November as lost, and
the prospect is now as decisively against
them for 1872. 1t is remarkable in this con-
nection that the very power, the central power
Of Tammany, upon which they have mainly
relied for this coming Presidential contest, has
proved the cause Of their apparently hopeless
collapse from Maine to California. But the
case is very simple The democratic party of
the Union sharing in the honors and sch smes
of Tamnany, must share in her disgrace until
some atonement is made for her manifold sins
and transgressions. Weighed in the balance
and found wanting, the kingdom from Tam
many has been taken away, and turned over
to the Medes and Persians In the midst of
the impious feast of Belshazzar, with his lords
and concubines, there came upon his startled
eyes that terrible handwriting on the wall. In
short, to all appearances, even New York is
lost to the democratic party through the
stupid excesses Of Tammany, and the course is
cleared and the way made easy for an extern
sion of four years to General Grants careful
and honest administration.

The ELECTION Riot IN PHILADELPHIA -
The riot and bloodshed in Philadelphia on
election day are much to be regretted. 1t was
hoped that the passions Of the politicians in
the misnamed 'City of Brotherly Love" had
subsided, and that the turbulent and bad
spirit of the days Of church burnings had been
extinguished. 1t is unfortunate, also, that the
encounter was mainly waged between white
democrats, some Of them policemen, and radi-
cal blacks. 1t is about time the democrats
ceased to persecute the poor darky and
learned to accept the present political situa-

The nIunicipal War-No Change In the
Situation.

The Municipal war-No Change In the
Situation.
Nothing new was developed yesterday in the
matter of the municipal troubles. The exami.
ton into the Ingersoll case presented no inter
esting feature, the time of the Court having
been taken up by the argument of immaterial
issues. 1t is very evident now that to the next
Legislature must be left the solution of our
city difficulty problem, and hence the atten-
ton of the people may be more proftaby
directed to the legislative nominations and
elections than to the fruitess ordinations and
recriminations of the contending parties. Good
men must be sent to Albany next winter not
the disappointed political sharpers who have
their own axes to grind, but honest, independ-
ent citizens, who will give the people an
efficient charter to live under and an oppor-
tunity to choose their municipal officers in the
early spring.
In the meantime the city government must
go on. The public works must not be aban-
doned, and the people must not be made to
suffer because there has been extravaganza or
dishonesty in the past administration of the
city's affairs. The taxes are now coming in.
and the credit of the Corporation is too good
to render the raising of necessary funds a
difficult task. The citizens do not desire to
see the parks neglected, the improvements on
the boulevards and avenues discontinued, or
the Fire Department, the Health Department,
the Croton Aqueduct Bureau, or any other
important branch of the government suffer
for want of funds. Both the Committee of
Seventy and Deputy Comptroller Green should
do their best to disembarrass the government
as much as possible at this crisis, while
guarding against any misappropriation or
waste of the peoples money. Let them do
this and trust to the Legislature to give us the
reform. we so much need.

A Touch OF THE COMMUNE IN CmcAGo.-'
While Chicago was burning number Of
Kretches were detected in feeding the flames,
with the view of adding to the excitement
that they might the better secure plunder.
Being caught in the act little mercy was shown
them, and convenient lampposts served as
yallows trees from which to turn them adrift
INTO eternity. What must be thought of such
vermin in human shape, who in hours like
hose when whole city was being consumed
oy fire and its people had fed from their
ZONES in fear and trembling could add to the
,alamities by feeding the flames and plunder-
ng amid the excitement they helped to
Increase This is the most dismal episode in
he destruction of Chicago. We hope, for
he sake Of our common humanity, that it is
,ot true. Should it prove to be as at first
-eported, the miserable wretches deserved the
ate they met, and God alone must judge them
or acts so base, cowardly and despicable.

,sented in the national administration of General
sGrant, and against the democratic party as
srepresented in the local administration Of
4 Tammany, it came to be the general belief
that the scandalous reputation of Tamnany
would be too much for the democracy Of
Pennsylvania and Ohio in October.
1t is probable, however, had Senator Fen
ton, Mr.. Greeley and company been strong
enough at Syracuse to make hopeful split Of
the republican party in New York against
General Grant, that the whole political sitna-
ton would have been instantly changed. Or
had General Butler proved equal to the. ex-
pectations of his outside friends, the labor re-
formers, the temperance people and the
women's rights women, in splitting up the re-
publican party Of Massachusetts,, hopeful
/ diversion would have been made for the de-
mocracy even in Pennsylvania, il not in Ohio ;
but Messrs. Fenton and Greeley were COM
pletey ''1axed out" at Syracuse, and General
Buffers cheerful surrender at Worcester
