CONGRESSIONAL PERoUIslTEs. Phila-
delphia Inquirer declares it to be all vanity
and vexation of spirit for Senator Trumbull to
press his joint resolution prohibiting members
Of Congress from soliciting the appointment to
Office of their particular friends. Although
the Congressional tyranny in the matter OF
appointments is abominable, yet 1t is not
likely Mr.. Trumbull will have q corporals
guard in the House In favor Of his proposed
reform. When Congressman voluntarily sur
render their perquisites in this or any other
respect, at least in q great majority of cases,
you may expect the heavens to fall.

Tho Eastern Question-A New Phase.

For some weeks past the world has been
waiting to hear the thunders of war resounding
from the Bosphorus and the shores of the
Black Sea. Russia, already armed to the
teeth, was making gigantic preparations It
was not otherwise with England. There was
to be conference. Then again conference
was impossible. Austria was in belligerent
mood. Turkey was full of fight; and so on,
and SO on. All at once it bursts upon the
war-expecting world that there is not the
slightest chance of war. A prominent Russian
military officer now in this country on tour
of inspection has been interviewed by q
HERALD reporter, and General Gorloff laughs
at the popular idea of fresh war on the East
ern question. Between Russia and Turkey,
the General says, there is no difference. That
the Russian officer is right is proved by one of
our latest dispatches from London relative to
the Eastern question. A special announces
that turkey is willing to dispense with action
by the, Powers" In other words, the Sublime
Porte prefers to be allowed to deal with Russia
alone on this new Black Sea question. After
Paris has fallen it will not surprise us If o
conference meets in London or some other
centre, specially at the request of the Gear and
the Sultan, to ratify private arrangements, and
thus modify the Treaty of Paris. It is simply
absurd to expect war on the Eastern question
if the Sultan and the Gear are agreed. It
would seem as If another war bubble had
burst,

Austria as . European Peaosmaker.

Austrio ~ Q european rcncemakors
We are specially informed by telegram
from Vienna, transmitted for the use Of the
HERALD to London and forwarded thence by
special cable report to New York, Of the
important fact that Austria is moving deci-
sively in the matter Of the arrangement Of a
peace between France and Prussia. The
government OF his Apostolic Majesty Francis
Joseph has outlined programme, or the
points Of basis, Of peace treaty. Should the
suggestions which have just been made from
Vienna be adopted and elaborated with honest
intention by the European diplomats to con-
clusion the horrible carnage which is now
being perpetrated by the contending armies of
the two foremost peoples In Europe would
come to close. Austria proposes that the
French shall acknowledge the logic of events
in the field, say they are beaten, and thus
ward off the actual v0 oictis Of the conqueror.
Francis Joseph recommends a present sur
render Of all the armed forts of France; that
France give up her twenty war ships, pay
Germany one thousand millions of thalers as
war indemnity, destroy all her forts which
stand within twenty miles Of the Rhine,
and cede to Prussia strip of land
four miles in breadth inward on the
left bank of the Rhine-Prussia to supply the
inhabitants of Paris two millions of rations
daily pending the final signature Of the more
immediate treaty Of peace. Count Bernstorf,
the Prussian Ambassador at the British Court
welcomes" as we are assured by our tele-
gram, this Austrian proposal. We do not see,
indeed, why he should not. Austria is ex-
ceedingly well qualified to speak, both on the
'sglooms" and the s'glories" of war. Her peo-
pies and their rulers have experienced at
different times the natural feelings that are
engendered by triumph and defeat in battle.
The Emperor Francis Joseph knows of the
morning after Sadowa. His Majesty can In
the progress of his present humane effort
assure both the Prussians and French of
s'what heroes feel with all but life and
honor lost"

A BILL TO REPEAL THE ERIE DIRECTORY
Aor was introduced in the Assembly yester-
day, and is apt to create some salutary ex-
citement before it is finally squelched. 1t is
quite likely that 1t will make good fight in
the Assembly, where there is Tammany
majority Of only one; but in the Senate the
majority is somewhat more decided. The bill
should at least be fully discussed, even if
there is no hope Of passing it, for such mag
niAcent outrage as the Erie bill is wonder
of impudence and cheek that our people
should miss no opportunity Of enjoying.

Loss OF THE SAGINAw.-Our special cor

and very interesting details Of the loss Of the

to the reef going ashore and the exertions of

wreck are vividly described. Everything
is given that has been received from the scene

GERMAN RETAIIATIoN.-A despatch from
washington, published this morning, gives the
substance of q circular issued by Count Bis
marck and received by cable at the North
German Legation. The document says that
the treatment Of the German merchant navy
by France obliges Germany ''to withdraw our
declaration (nade at the beginning of the war;
Ahat French merchant ships which have no
bontraband of war on board shall be exempt
from capture by our vessels Of war" This
Withdrawal takes effect four weeks after the
date of the circular. Our merchants generally
will provide against loss before theperiod Of

TIE PRESIDENTS Ku KLUx MESSAGE
President Grant has sent in his Message rela-
tive to reported outrages in the Southern
States by the Ku Klux and other raw head and
bloody bones organizations. He makes no
suggestion as to the action Of Congress in the
matter, nor does he accompany the Message
with any startling comments upon the facts as
set forth in the accompanying documents. He
merely leaves these documents to speak for
themselves. The Ku Klux Klan is evidently
no myth. The wild young fellows who lost
their occupation and their ''niggcrs" at the
close of the war do probably ride abroad at
night, frightening the wits out Of superstiHous
darkies but that they keep up persistent
Feigu Of terror In the South ia open to doubt.

"Where L. the Little Nigger 90

We notice by our reports from Albany that
Boss Tweed has introduced bill to legalize
the purchase of certain lakes and lands for the
uses Of the Croton Aqueduct, and for which
the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars has
been paid. We suppose this is to cover the
purchase of Lake Gilead, in Putnam county,
last summer, and the payment to the owners
Of the above amount by Mr.. Tweed es Presi-
dent Of the Board of Public Works. 1t will be
remembered there was no little gossip at the
time on the subject, to the effect that Boss
Tweed was making fine job out of the trans
action-the charge being no less than the SELL
ing to the city for two hundred thousand dol.
lars property for which he paid only twenty
five thousand. But that scandal is put to rest
by the bill just introduced, indemnifying the
Boss for exactly the amount of cash he paid
down-twenty-fve thousand dollars, no moro
and no less. This is a miracle of honesty on
the part of ring manager that would be
deemed incredible did we not have the plain
facts and figures before our eyes. Is il
possible that Mr.. Tweed can have per-
formed this service for the city and
not even pocketed percentage or
commission in the operation? But do we
really see the whole thing in Its present lights
Is there not something in the background
some balm in Lake Gilead that will allay the
itching palm of the great big Boss? Is there
or is there not little nigger in the wood-pile2 z
If so, where is the little joker? If 1t turns out
to be fair and square transaction on the part;
of Mr.. Tweed we shall have to give that gentle-
man credit for possessing a degree Of CON-
scientiousness unparalleled in the annals Of
corporation jobs and jobbers Taken In con-
nection with his recent vaunted charitable
donations, 1t may foreshadew change of heart
and lead to bona yJade moral reformation that
will startle the political world and cause old
Tammany Hall to be filed with lamentations.
What no more corporation scalps, no more
pickings and stealings, no more cent per cent
operations, no more tax levy subsidiesp
Horrible!
We shall be very glad to help Mr.. Tweed
along in this great work of reforms work
that should be encouraged by all taxpaying
citizens. But seriously, is there or is there
not 'little niger in the woed-pilea"

THE PACKING SYSTEM IN THE HORSE CARs.->.
Efforts are being made in the Legislature to
relieve the street cars from the system Of close
crowding that has proven TO be such sore
tribulation to man and beast Similar efforts
are being made in Washington, where they
settle the question by making the passengers
get out and walk. But such q course in New
York would plaster Mr.. Bergh's society oil over
with lawsuits. The surest remedy is multi
plicity of cars. Let them be strung all along
the most frequented routes block apart, or
only half or quarter Of block apart If the
traffic permits, and then leave it to human
nature. A man going home in hurry will
get on crowded car If he can, and will con-
sent to stand rather than delay in waiting for

as to how the funds are being managed, and

The War News-Francc Prostrnte.

AT LIE Mans, on the 1lth inst, Prince Fred
erick Charles sealed the fate of Paris by in.
ficting terrible defeat upon General Chanzy's
army. We have at hand no details of the strug-
gle, but that thesFrench were badly beaten is
undoubtedly true. Coming at the present time,
such disaster cannot fail to exercise an influ-
ence over the people of France which Gam
beta will find il impossible to counteract. II
is doubtful, indeed, unless the reports which
we publish this morning be gross exaggera-
tions, whether Chanzy will be able to infuse
sufficient spirit in his men to risk another
battle. Prince Frederick Charles seems
to have performed his work thoroughly. His
march has been rapid and his blows have
fallen with immense effect. Doubtless the
French troops fought well, but all the gene
ralship was on the other side. Chanzy's great
mistake was to permit the German army to
remain quietly in camp until it had been
heavily reinforced. He has reaped the har-
vest of his own sowing The Germans, we
suppose, will follow up their victory at LIE
Mans and probably drive che Inflated French
Army of the Loire to the sea.
Our special and other dispatches from Yer
sailles tell the story of the progress and effec-
tiveness Of the bombardment. An advanced
battery has been captured from the French,
bringing the German guns one mile nearer to
the doomed city. Fires, evidently caused by
the shells, are becoming numerous within the
walls of the doomed capital. Meantime Trochu
makes no sign, and the French troops are de-
mauding peace. The belief prevails in Ver-
sailles that surrender is imminent. We shall
not be surprised If it is Paris is now thor
oughly isolated. Her last chance of succor
faded to nothingness at LIE Mans.
The other war news is unimportant. Won
Werder is reported advancing, and our corre-
spondent at Vienna telegraphs that Austria is
moving in the matter of peace. Judged by
past events she will not be successful, how
ever. Prussia has now a certainty of final
success, and she will probably exact her own
terms without permitting interference from
neutral Powers Nevertheless we trust that
the report of Prussia's willingness to accept
the Austrian plan will prove correct. French
imbeciIity has ruined France. The bes. thing
Gambetta can do is to make peace, for any
further struggle will be nothing better than an
insane sacrifice of human life.

THURSDAY was bad day for hunting
negroes in Kentucky. A party Of masked
men in Scott county, duly armed and
equipped, started out after negroes, bat found
game scarce, and succeeded in bagging but
three specimens. However, three other
negroes were badly wounded. Unfortu-
nately, only one of the chivalric huntsmen
was killed.

able at long date. But the profits Of all the
rest Of the business done by the individual
partners in the Union-every citizen, that is
give much larger return for capital than the
interest on the debt. What, then, is the good
Of paying 1t off except gradually No private
partnership would do SO. And 1t Is mistake
to suppose that any different principle is ap-
partnership than that which regulates prl-
vate firm. 1t is positively painful to have to
insist on such obvious truths.
The present Quixotism on this subject has
lasted lsng enough. The public credit and
the resources of the Union have received such
overpowering illustration in the taxation Of
the last ten years that the world of capital is
quite satisfied on that head; and 1t is to be
observed, moreover, that the capital which
seeks great public debt is the sober invest
ing capital which requires safe, permanent
security. Our plan Of feverish, unresting pay
ing off the debt does not suit that variety of
capital at all so well az one which is more
deliberate in character. The truth is that
the public must malta up it's mind one way or
another. IT is determined to get rid Of the
debt at all costs then there Is nsthing to be
said. Profit and loss are out Of the question,
and we have to do with the DON and his wind
mill. But if the people are determined to
make the most Of their time and money, like
reasonable beings, then it is nothing short of
ridiculous to submit to oppressive taxation for
~
Of the public debt, which is purchased by the
cruel increase of every private burden, and,
therefore, in fact. of the public burden, too.

| AGREAT TREASURE-SEE EXPEDITION
For over half a century there has lain sunk
in ten fathoms OF water, in Samanco Bay
South America, the Spanish war ship San Re
dr0 .1icdRtard with gold, silver and preciou.
stones on board of her, varying in estimated
amount from three to eight millions OF dollars
The ship was sent out in 1915, as part of an
armada, to attack the South American repub
lies, but the attempt was abandoned. Besides
the $4,000, 600 of treasure on board the ship
certain lOyalists in South America carried all
their money and precious stones to the vessel
which was destroyed when on the eve of sail
ing. A fire broke out in the spirit-room, and
feeding on highly inhammable material, spread
with fearful rapidly The seyenty-four guns
of the huge craft were all loaded and shotted
so that the others of the fleet either dared not
or were forbidden to come to the rescue. Tn
the rush and confusion an awful blunder was
committed. The after magazine was not
flooded; and while the crew were battling des-
perately with the flames, that magazine cx-
ploded. The ships stern was blown completely
off, and n thousand souls were hurled into
eternity. Various attempts were made to re-
cever the treasure, but with very partial sue
cess-not more than 100000 having been
found. An expedition will sail from New York
in few days, with apparatus believed to be
sufficient to finish the work. 1t is managed
by the American Submarine Company, of
which General Burnside is President, and will
have some of the most expert divers in its
company. Operations are expected to begin
about the first OF July The scheme is to shat
ter the hull and dredge the bottom for the
treasure, the recovery of which is considered
merely matter of time, perseverance, and
money.
