republic. This great national debt, these
heavy taxes, these national banks, these bonds
and bondholders, these powerful and unscru-
pulous railway corporations, these hordes Of
railway land jobbers and Indian cheating con-
spirators, these corrupt officials and law
makers and their lobby confederates in our
national, State and city governments, and this
general tendency of things to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer, are all bearing the
country onward to great revolution. We
are warned that after Louis XIV. in France
came the amiable Louis XVI, but that with
him clme the deluge of the great French
Revolution and its Reign of Terror
Do we apprehend anything Of this sort in
this great, free and prosperous country? No;
but we do apprehend revolution of fearful
consequences from the general decentralization
on money and from all the signs and move
ments around u.s. General Grant will not
improve his position by undertaking to control
all the little ins and outs of his party, here,
there and everywhere. He must leave this
business more than he does to the skilful poll
ticians of his party, and look well to it that
skilful politicians are with him in his councils
at Washington. He must see to it that these
Chorpennings do not get into the Treasury,
and that something is done to relieve the
country of this dead weight of taxation and
all its corrupting and demoralizing appen-
dages for, otherwise, no man can undertake
to answer for the consequences in 1872. The
debt, banks, bonds, taxes, everything, may be
swept away in a popular reaction as the
shortest method for getting a clear field, a
fresh start and fair play for the masses of the
people In this view Of our situation, what is
Chorpenning? A chip on the waves, showing
the drift of the tide. Nothing more. But the
general drift of the tide warns us of the break
ers ahead, and that General Grant and Con-
gress are trifiing meantime with the real dan
gers which menace the administration, the
Treasury and the country.

REoRGASIZATIoN OF THE CABINET.
dent Grant has decided at last to make COM
plete reorganization of his Cabinet He has
yielded to the urgent advice Of bis friends in
the matter, and will look to it in the selection
of the new ministerial council that men are
chosen who are of weight and influence among
their own people. Our Washington cores
pondent intimates that the complete change
will be made about the 4th of March.

JOHN HANLoN, the murderer oil little Mary
Mohrmann, was hanged in Philadelphia yester-
day. He died without making any confession
and without denying his guilt. In view OF the
fact that he was convicted on what was con-
eidered doubtful evidence, being that
OF fellow convict who received
pardon for giving the testimony, 1t is
satisfactory TO know that he did not protest
his innocence, as nearly allitbe victims of the

Gambetta's Little Came,


M. Gambettas proclamation, which we pub
lish this morning, is not at all favorable to
peace. 1t was quite right and proper for him
to advise the French people to continue their
defensive preparations and for the raw troops
to drill energetically during the period of the
armistice. These are things which they ought
to do, on the principle that in times of peac
we should prepare for war. He goes further,
however. The Prussians, he tells the French,
hope to exact shameful peace from the Ma
tional Assembly. Now, the Prussian terms
have been clearly and explicitly stated Bis
marck has candidly told the French Ministers
that Germany demands Alsace and Lorraine,
war indemnity, a colony and twenty war
ships Consequently, with the knowledge Of
these conditions before him, we must conclude
that Gambetta regards their acceptance as
dishonorable, for they are manifestly more
onerous and humiliating than those which
Favre Indignantly rejected Immediately after
the expulsion of the Bonapartes from France.
But there is more behind Gambetta's procla-
nation than q patriotic determination to
uphold the honor and dignity of his country
at every hazard. 1t is evident that he is
playing bold game for the political exalta-
tion of himself. He does not consider the
chance of the National Assembly being any
thing else than republican. His implied con-
fidence in this regard is direct blow at the
expectations and aspirations of the Bonaparte
| and Orleanist parties. 1t virtually informs
them that there can be but one political party
tolerated in France, and that is the republican
| We doubt not that Gambetta will not be over
scrupulous in exercising the immense powers
which he possesses in preventing the return of
departments occupied by the French who are
| inimical to the republic. And we may add
| that he will endeavor to have only such men
elected as will elevate him to the Presidency.
His ambition has long been known, and from
his reiterated demands for explanations from
Favre, and his implied condemnation of the
armistice it is clear that he is playing his
cards SO as to beat in advance his most for
midable competitors in the republican ranks
by indulging in insinuations condemnatory of
their patriotism.
1t certainly cannot be anything more than
an insane ambition which is urging Gambetta
on his present course. If he were animated
by an unselfish devotion to his country he
would recognize the hopelessness of the
French cause. Humiliating as the German
terms undoubtedly are, their final acceptance
is something so inevitable that their rejection
now will be sheer madness. We have already
seen how Gambetta regards them, and it is
with the deepest regret that we have read in
his proclamation no disposition to accept the
situation A renewal of the contest may
elevate him to the supreme rulership of the
French people, but his term of power will be
brief; for the Germans will resume their
victorious campaigns in the provinces and the
end will be disastrous for him. for France and
for the cause Of republcanism in Europe.

ST. DOMINGO AND BAEZ.--We learn that
Cabral is up in arms about the operations Of
Baez that he has four armies in the field
ready to act against him that all the princi-
pal cities are opposed to annexation. Should
these reports prove true the Commissioners
may not be able to accomplish much.

THE NogTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE has
passed bill to restore the act making arson
and burglary capital offences. 1t is pretended
that this is aimed as blew at the Ku Klux
Klans. Fiddlesticks! The magnitude of the
penalty is an immunity to crime in communi-
ties where such wretches as the Ku Kluxes
are allowed to have full swing, or, rather, are
not expected to be swung at all.

Gambetta, the Armistice and the Approach
ing Elections.

ing Elections.
Gambetta, according to our latest dispatches
from France, is out in glowing proclamation,
the evident intention of which is to fire the
French heart. The volatile Minister labors
under the impression that the armistice is
little better than shrewd dodge by which the
Prussians believe they can secure the dissolu-
tion of the French armies. The armies for
which M. Gambetta entertains such fears are
in so powerless condition that the result of
further opposition on their part is not feared
in the least by the German leaders. Faid-
herbe's Army Of the North can do nothing
Chanzy is in as bad condition with the
Army of the Loire, and the Army of
the East is so hopelessly situated
that General Bourbaki, its commander-in-
chief, attempted to commit suicide rather
than await the result of struggle with the
force he set out to conquer. Are these the
armies that Gambetta fears will be dissolved?
In this proclamation we perceive the heated
ardor of the enthusiast, coupled with the cant
of the demagogue. This is not the time for
such appeals. The elections are approaching,
and the best interests of the nation require
that cool, deliberate and intelligent action on
the part of the leaders who at present, to
great extent, influence the course of France,
be the adopted line Of action. It is plain that
France is PROSTATE, and it is also evident that
she is unable at present to rise from that pros
tration. OF what avail, then, are the mad
rawlings of such men as Gambetta and those
who influence the mobs of Paris, Lyons and
Marseilles? The approaching elections will
prove the sentiment of the French people
It will be for them to say whether the war
be continued or peace secured. Already the
names of some of the candidates for election
have appeared. The Duke d'Aumale Prince
de Joinville, Theirs, Picard and others, from
the ranks of the Orleanist and republican
parties, have appeared in the field. No doubt
the fallen Emperor will also be represented in
the National Assembly, as for some time back
the agents of Napoleon have been secretly but
actively engaged throughout the provinces.
All eyes are turned to Bordeaux. For time
the noise of battle will be hushed and the
deliberations in the forum supply their place.
Let us hope that moderation will characterize
the Council which will shortly assemble, the
result of the deliberations of which may posi-
bly, affect the immediate destnes of the
nation.

AUSTRIA ARMING FOR WAR.-Bar0n Won
Beust's speech to the members of the Austro-
Hungarian Parliament, as it is reported to us
by cable telegram from Pesth, goes to confirm
our anticipations that Europe is in danger of
another and general war confagration. The
Austrian Premier says as much, indeed, when
he asserts that Austria must arm on land and
at sea, as ''the danger Of warlke compica-
tons is not phantom peril" This states
man, usually so cantbus, almost throws down
the gage of battle in the sentence, ''The
foreign Powers must learn that Austria is
ready for defence" Who will take up the
gauntlet Of the Hapsburgs? AT whom is it
aimed? We may hear from Berlin in reply.

ATTORNEY GENERAL 'AKERMAN has presented

called for by the action Of Congress last ses-
sion. 1t presents several suggestions of some
interest, but its statistics are lacking as yet,
owing to the incompleteness of the State re-
turns. 1t may be made in future to serve q
very good purpose in keeping the lawmakers
posted as to the increase or decrease of crime

The Streets and Our Uptown Travel.


To say that the condition of the streets is
frightful would be to use a very gentle ad-
jective. We are now in the midst of thaw
which, if it continues for few days longer,
may wash away the snow. But meantime,
much can be done to clear the tracks. We
must not wait upon Jupiter with petition,
but put our shoulders to the wheel, and do
the work. If, for example, more attention
were given to keeping the cutters free just
now, and removing Instructions of various
kinds to the passage Of the snow water as it
melts, it would be a great assistance to the
thaw. Broadway was cleared off pretty we'll
as soon as the snow ceased to fall, and it
is thus rather passable at some points. But
the other highways have not been so favored,
and are, therefore, in an indescribabe state Of
filth, confusion, clashing carts and bias
phemous drivers, while they are running
meanwhile In rivulets Of mud. All this sug-
gests the pressing idea of our uptown travel.
Difficult enough at all times to get up town
with any convenience, it is next to impossible
now. Still things can be made much better if
people will only exert themselves at this
moist time, and help nature along little by
keeping all the passages for the water to run
off to the sewers as free as possible.

A GAME NOT WORTH THE CANDLE.-Wo
have already chronicled the fact of the failure
of an attempt to impeach certain Judge in
Florida, and we expect to do the same in re-
gard to the farce now being enacted in the
Senate of North Carolina in regard to the i'm
peachment of Governor Holden. 1t is to be
regretted that the proceedings against Gov
ernor Holden were ever instituted, particularly
by the party that has just recovered political
power in the State, and has still good reason
to respect the action of Congress in relation to
the removal of disabilities still attached TO
tain citizens of the State. The precedence of
the case of President Johnson, and its lament
able fosco, should have operated upon the
minds of the movers in the action against Gov
ernor Holden, and inspired them with wisdom
enough not to engage in any such folly. The
whole game is not worth the candle, and ii
would be better for all parties that the case
should be at once abandoned
