been any reason to fear the surplus money in
the Treasury would be wanted. Had the
Treasury been emptied any time during the
last few years there would have been month
OF two after surplus again, so fast and con-
slant has been the stream of incoming revenue.
No business man of the most ordinary capacity
would have been guilty Of such folly In the
management of his funds. No one would
have locked up his money when he could have
drawn good interest from it. The pretext that
large reserve of gold was necessary to keep
down the premium Is fallacious. The diffu-
sion Of 1t through the currents Of trade would
have had better effect. Mr.. Boutwell, Is q
failure as finance minister, and if General
Grant would consolidate the republicans of all
sections and save the West from going over to
the democrats, the sooner he invites the Secre-
tary to retire the better, both for himself and
his party,

The WONDERFUL RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE OF
THE HERALD. An evening contemporary takes
note Of the fact that the Hon. Benjamin
Disraeli, while awaiting ct ST. Georges
chapel, Windsor the royal party, was earn
estly engaged in reading the Book Of Common
Prayer Of the Church Of Eugland and our
philosophical neighbor thinks that as Mr..
Dlsrael was never known to do such thing
before, he must have been brought to this
religious frame of mind ''by the rays OF our
dazzling religious contemporary, the HERALD" :"
We are strongly inclined to think so too, bear
ing in mind the great sensation created In
England some time ago by several Of our
editorial Sunday sermons on the Millennium,
and 'the New Heaven and the New EARTH"
and the ''New Dispcnsation" which is coming,
and "thc New Jerusalem" Of New York.

LORD SALISBURY on ENoLAED's PosITIoN -
We publish in another page of the HERALD
this morning the substance Of the speech Of
Lord Salisbury, delivered before the House
of Lords on the evening Of the 9th, on
the position Of England with foreign ma
tions. His lordship expresses himself fully
conscious Of the inability of England, with
its existing military strength, to meet any of
the three great Powers Of the Earth, Russia,
Prussia or the United States Even with the
augmentation recently proposed to the British
army, England will still be far behind the
great European nations whose military
strength at the present day is sufficient to be
the cause Of uneasiness to that eight little
island which is only separated from the Con-
tinent by a ''streak of silver sea"

The Bantam Repub,;ss or Central Amer,c

The Bantam Republics or Central america.
BY telegram from Kingston, Jamaica, we
have later advices from Panama, and learn,
without surprise, that Honduras has formally
declared war against Salvador. These wars
and revolutions of the bantam republics Of
Central and South America are becoming
amusing. They used to he looked upon in
thoroughly farcical that we canno. hear Of
them without smile. They are attended
with 80 much bombast, SO much fuss and
feathers, and the results are SO insignificant
that they are hardly worth recording. We
have not cared to examine closely into the
cause Of this war in order to determine which
is the injured party, but are content to let
them fight it out until one or the other or both
are tired Of the sport, and give ii up in order
to let some of their neighbors have chance.
TIE other republics of Central America may be
drawn into the war, and we should not ba sur
prised if they were. Then they viii be happy,
for they win all be in "a muss' together, and
they can have a good time generally. We
learn, also, thst new President of Nicaragua
was recently inaugurated, and that immed-
ately thereafter revolutionary party tried to
turn him ont Of power, but were not success
iul In Colomaia the revolutionary party was
meeting with success in the State of Boyaca /;
and so it gees on, never ending war, con-
tinual riot, q perpetual scene Of anarchy
and bloodshed, with no strong Power to step
in and give them all good sound thrashing
and make them keep the peace. Why should
these mongrel republics be permitted longer
to keep that part OF the world in state Of
uproar and confusion2 This is question
that it is high time to answer. We can see no
reason why they should not be cautioned and
warned that further disturbances viii not be
permitted. A strong notification Of this char
acter would serve every purpose and maintain
peace and tranquility.

The BILL TO CONSOLIDATE the city debt
was passed in the State Senate yesterday, Mr..
Tweed exercising his mastery ingenuity by
clothing y with life after vote had killed II.
The consolidation of our city debt at lower
rate Of interest is, in the main, highly de-
slrable oonsummation, but the title Of legis-
lative document is SO unreliable that there is
no certainty what dreadful job is hidden under
this comfortable cloak of consolidation.

Scientific Lectures.

We have frequently mentioned the encour-
aging fact that Ike lecture season which is now
drawing to close has been characterized by
special efforts on the part Of lecturers and
committees to poprlarize The results Of modern
science. Some Of the abiest of our college
professors have heartily seconded this move
ment in the right direction. Perhaps none of
these learned men has personally done more
at once to stimulate and to satisfy the thirst of
the public for scientific knowledge than Pro-
fessor r. Ogden Doremus, who will deliver to-
night, in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the third
lecture in his course on the Agreement Be-
tween the Mosaic and Scientific Accounts Of
the Histories of Creation Among the expert
mcnts by which DR.. Doremns is to illustrate
the correlation Of light, heat, electricity, mag
nctlsm and power will be that famous and
beautiful experiment, the revolution Of globe
Of oil, which has been so often tried in Ame
RIGA by other chemists, but never successfully
carried out except by himself. Like Orfla
and other celebrated chemists, Dr.. Doremus is
enthusiastically devoted to music, as we'll as
TO science, aud it is doubtless at his sugges-
ton that Mr.. G. W. Morgan, the skilfui or
ganist, has volunteered to precede the lectures
Of the ex-Pres.dent Of thc Philhsrmonic Society
with appropriate selections from Haydn's
Creation" Each evening thus offers feast
for the ear as we'll as the eye and the mind.
Brooklyn is 9 city Of schools, no less than Of
churches, and it is not strange that the scien-
tifc lectures at the Tabernacle attract crowds
of lis most refined and intellectual citizens.
PROPER DRAINAGE for the city is the import
Of bill introduced in the State Senate yester-
day. There are very few things upon which
little timely Legislation could be better ex-
pended. We sadly need. an improvement in
our sewerage and drainage system.

Ccnsress Yestcrday-nM Kiux Legislation.
After very exciting discussion yesterday,
in which Measrs. Blair and Pool made faces
at one another anl otherwise acted very
naushtily, the Senate passed Mr.. Anthony's
resolution to limit legislation altogether 20 the
Ku Kiuy and the Deficiency Appropriation
bill, which latter fouad its way into tho
resolution as an amendment. In fact, The
resolution had hardly been brought ont
for the frst vote before Il was pierced 5y
amendments from al sides Coal repeal
clauses were flung at it from Ohio and Illinois
and Missouri; salt repeal ard general
amnesty clauses from South Carolina; civil
rights measures from Massachusetts; an in
come tax adjustment measure from Califor-
nia an internal revenue proposition from
New Jersey, and q tariff reform amend
ment from Maryland, were all hurled
pellmell at the unsuspscting Anthony.
But none of them lefS their mark
upon Anthony's resolution except the De-
ficiency Appropriation bill, which had to be
passed under any circumstances. The others
fell unnoticed. The resolution was then agreed
to by vote of 3G against ls, and the untiring
Senator's set to work at once discussing anti
Ku Ktux measures for the South-a suhect
which they had thoroughly exhausted in their
discussions on the measure just passed. In
deed, these indefatigabIe public servants have
been since The early part OF tho month arguing
about the Ku Klux on the question Of whether
or not il wa.s worth while to argue about the
Ku Kll'x. Now that they have discovered
that i is worth while no doubt they will con-
tinue to spin out the weil-worn thread.
There is nothing of interest going on in tnc
House. There are no committees, and with
out these compasses and rudders Of legisla-
ton the big unwieldly HOUSE. floats around

The Emperor Williams speech from ebo
Throne OF CharlemEyBe.

N-Ao AsupcrOr NiiIaiwS SEcCcA iF0sM tAO
Throne OF Charlemngne.
The speech delivered by the Emperor
william on the eve of his seventy third birth
day, In the North German Parliament, must,
not merely from it's intrinsic merits but from
all the attendant circumstances and surround
lngs, be regarded as the speech of the period.
First OF all, the speech was delivered from
the throne Of Charlsmagne, chair identified
with Roman Imperialism in the West for many
centuries aud which, up uatl the sixteenth
century, when the Holy Roman Empire be-
came, nomiually at least. the inheritance Of
the House of Hapsburg, and which the Empe-
ror William, with skilfulness not unworthy
OF tho occasion, has had transferred from
Aachen (Aix-la- -Chapelle) to Berlin
Secondly, the speech takes It for granted
that the German empire, anciently the Holy
Roman Empire, ia once more fact and in
truth more q fact than ever. All through his
speech the Emperor shows that he thinks no
longer Of Prussia as Prussia, but of Germany
as Germany, of which he is the unquestioned
chief. The war has been so conducted that
shared as much by Bavaria as by Saxony, as
much by Wurtemberg es by Hanover, as much
by Baden as by saxe-Coburg. The war
brings indemnity in the shape of money, but
all the States of Germany must benefit 10y the
distribution. The war has realized all the
German dreams of the past; it has made Ger
many unit; but tie German empire, the
Parliament Ia plainly told, must be defended,
preserved and honored by Germany.
Thirdly, Germany has her mission in Europe
and the world, md although the Emperor's
speech is nos 50 explicit on this point as on
the others we have mentioned, it is not diff
cult to gather from it that German modesty is
henceforward to ceasc. The success Of Ger
many is guarantee for peace, but it is also a
good reason for German self-conidcnce. We
are not disposed TO exaggeratc, but we canuot
conceal from ourselves the fact that the re-
moval OF the throne Of Charlemagne from
Aachen to Berlin Ga wicked spoliaton in itself
considered), means the re-establishment of an
empire in Europe which shall know no rival.
Russia must now march eastward, Sweden
and Denmark will find it convenient to recog-
nize the Teutonic empire and all the Southern
peoples will submit to dictation. The ''streak
Of silver sea" cuts England off from tho Con-
tnent and leaves her 10 follow out her career
as a grand Asiatic Power. We have entered
upon new era. The Emperor Williams
speech from the throne Of Charlemagne, Of
Ohio the Great, Of the Ked-bearded Frederic,
marks its commencement.

Miscellaneous Dispatches.

THE EASTERN CONFERENCE

THE EASTERN CONFERENCE.
LONDON, March II. = The protocols of the
proceedings of the Black Sea question are
signed by plenipotentiaries of the seven powers
represented. Their general features are of a
cOnciliatory tone on the part of Russia. There
is a Willingness on the part of Turkey to accept
decentralization in the Black Sea, and defer
ence of the conference to the wishes of either
power. The conference met January II. Lord
Granville was chosen president. Granville re-
GREETED the absence of the pleUipotentiary from
France, and declared that the object of the con-
ference was to examine the Black Sea question
without partisanship, and discuss with perfect
liberty the Prussian proposals for a revision of
the treaty OF Paris. Baron Brunnow made a
statement wIch contained no trace of the imper-
alive tone of GonSchakof's circular Baron
Brunnow's speech was most conciliatory
throughout, and was responded to in the same
spirit by Measures Pasha.
The conference then went TO work on the dec
laration TO the effect that the plenipotentaries
recognize it as an essential principle of the right
of nations that no power can shake off the en-
gagements OF a treaty or modify its stipulations
except with the assent OF the contracting par
ties. On this friend Y understanding being ar
rived at, March 18Th Due de Brogie gave his
adhesion TO it. A second meeting took place
January oath, when NJ. Brunnow stated more
fully the changes that had taken place since,
and urged that all treaties be Judged by the new
considerations arising in the interval. He con-
tended that the treaty OF Paris was really per
petuating irritations by wounding the Russian
national sentiment. The Turkish ambassador
denied the arguments Of the Russian ambassa-
dor, aud declared that Turkey was fully salts.
ned with the treaty; but If the other powers
thought IT right to admit the Russian demand

equlFaleht ana compatible with the rights and
lied to concur.
Inc other plenipotentiaries, while recognizing
tae luslce OF the Turkish objection, adhere TO
thelr former expression, that turkish consent
must be condition of the eaujyalents. Al the
third sitting, February 3, on the treaty, four
articles were proposed by Granville, the second

of which gave to Turkey power to introduce
ships of war of Il non riparian power into the
Black Sea only it compelled 10 do so for the Sc
curtty of the Ottoman empire. Mousouros Pasha
objected TO the phrase "non-riparian,' as re-
Strctve TO Turkey and offensive to Russia. A
long debate generally In opposition, followed,
the representative of the Turkish government
pleading that his instructions were very per-
emptoY, At the same meeting the secondary
question Of the Danube commission was first
mOoted, and il was agreed to insert an arrange
ment therefor in the principal treaty. At the
fourth meeting, February 18th, no instructions
had been received by the plenipotcnuarieS, ard
nothing was done. At the fifth meeting, the
18th inst, the Due de Broghe was introduced and
declared that the French government saw no
sufficient reason TO modify the treaty of Paris,
but now willingly accepted the arrangement
which had been partially concluded The ltal-
ian minister met the objections of the Turkish
minister by proposing new article IN which
the words friendly and allied powers" were
substituted for "non-riparian powers. This
amendment was accepted freely by Turkey and
the other powers. There were no differences on
other articles. After their completion the
Turkish and Russian plenipOtentiaries an
nOunced that they had been authorized to con-
clude the convention abrogating the stipulatiOns
of the treaty of Paris relative to the number and
strength Of their respective fleets in the Black
Sea.
WHAT THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT is DOING.
fARlSJ Marcn lS.-lhe government Is deYOt-
ing much time 10 the consideration of maritime
and mercantile law The questions at present
under discussion. and which will be first decided
upon, are those relating to the excess of the
taxes upon bonded goods and the revision of the
navigation laws. The new loan is tor the pur-
pose Of converting loan of two hundred and
fifty millions of francs, contracted by the Tours
delegation of the September government. The
Bank Of France will not ask payment of the
supplementary interest except in the case of per-
sons who avail themselves of the delays accord
ed by the new loans.

Gov. Geary has decided that he cannot inter-
fere in the quarrel among the coal men of Penn
Sylvania. He says: Gin 1868 1 spent weeks at
the mines, examining the whole subject. then
saw that the miners and the operators, at a GER
tain period Of the year, found it beneficial to
STRIKE, and when carefully arranged the con
sumner only was the sufferer. AS, for instance,
in 1868 the operators, when the market was
stocked, quietly stored away their surplus tons
at the general market, and when the proper
time came ordered the miners to strike, and to
afford preteXt, announced a scale of prices so
low that they were Obliged to strike or starye.
Straightway coal shot up in prices in New
York, and the operators pocketed over $780,
900, and S25O,O00 was divided among the
