Of his own views upon all public questions {;

The interesting Letter which We print this
morning from our special correspondent in
Vienna, gives The same views OF the IcsiSna-
ton of Count I6cust which expressed the
morning after TIE event. Th,rc seems to be
no doubt that the Emperor, in fit of pGuc,
fell Into the hands of the reactionary party who
have always been bitterly opposed to the Chan
ccilor, and committed a virtual violation of
the Constitution by direct interference with
the Government sustained Ivy the Parliament.
Tho infrcncc of the Camarlla, though nOm-
nay cradcatrd by the December COnolitu-
ton, is sill powerful in Vienna. II is a danger
Gus moment, however, for tho Emperor to
begin to indulge himself in the luxury
when the Empire is a prey to disintegratiOn,
and when the only hope for the prrpetuity of
his dynasty is in tho popular regard for law.
Oar dispatches thi, morning announce the con-
ccntratior Of large Russian force at Smolcnsk
end on the border of Galicia, and intimate
that this is result of the appointment of
Count Andrassy. But this is improbable. If
Russia is establishing force Of Observat ion
on the frontier, il can be more easily referred
to the possible contingencies arising from the
Eastern question or the Baltic matter, than to
any resentment at the promotion of tho former
aeitator and insurgcnt of 1e4S. But in any
case this is an unfortunate hour for Francis
Joseph to begin to play tho Caesar.

THE KING AID TIE POPH

Victor Emannc! is established in tie Qui,inal,
and yesterday he made his first speech TO the
Italian Parliament, in session at Rome. The
curt phrases Of tic cable give lis lt,Ic insight
into The spirit of his address, bnt the most
important ching it contained WAS doubil,"s
thc declaration t'At thc Pope is t. remain in
Rome. Ii he made This statement I'y authority,
and it is hard to believe him >" reckless as to
do otherwise. it is n most important utter

inpoS,ibliiy OF living in the same atmosphere
with tho banned King of Piedmont, that Ii
would he an amusing commentary OH his OW II
infallililty to STE him now adopting some
reasonable modrS rircndi Ivy consultation with
the Italian Ministry. AZ AL cvcn,s, whether it
is the policy of the Ministers or the supcr,li-
ton of the King which has dictated the con-
duct of the Government toward Plus the
Ninth, their action has certainly been
most discreet and effective. When last
Constituent Assembly mt i'll Rome,
in 1919, this same SOVEREIGN pOntiii was
fugitive at Gacta and thc Eternal City was
a scene Of wild disorder. The arms of Re
publican France, under the orders OF the
counterfeit BOnapartc, assasSinacd the Rcpnb-
lie of Rome and restored the Pore, converted
by the experience of few months of rcyo-
luton from liberal principles to those Of
absolute authority and passive ob.!,-
cncc. He has steadily refused TO roooS-
nizc every advance which Italy has
made towards freedom and unity.
Instead of meeting his defiance with CORE
spending harslncSs, the Italian Cahnc: have
cxertcd themselves to tho utmost to prevent Il
final breach between the spiritual and tempo
raj authorities in Rome. And the dispatches
this morning give reason to expect that we
may sec the King and the Pontlf living in
peace in the storicd town which is at last The
capital of Italy, without ccasing to be the pr-
mate city of the Catholic world.

UONEN UEIIEHS or TIE SOUTH.

"Southland Writers" now marshals before
the world a legion of Ladies' of tho South
who, to use his own language, have lifted
their halps from beds OF violcts to scale
Parnass!n nights. 1t is assurcdy with no

that we turn to observe this fair cOhort, as
we would any sign which indicates that the
Southern people are struggling up to q wider
life and healthier development than were

TIE MIL(UINTS AROUSED.

We have repeatedly cndcavored to npieSs
upon the merchants of New-IOrk the urgent
necessity which exists for early action Oh their
part to revive tho commerce which Tammany
misrulc has done 30 much to destroy. 1t il
gratifying to learn from the following letter
that they will he officially asked by their
principal and strongest organization to take
action upon this subject:
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: The subject of the editorial Your paper of
this morning addressed merchants and shippers will
be thoroughly investigated by committee Of prominent
merchants to be appointed by the Chamber Of Commerce
the 18th prOximO, and measures be proposed that will
relieve the shipping Of this port OF the extOrtionatc
and Illegal eXacOns imposed by the City and state Of.
Gcials Very respectfully, your obedicnt servant.

Chdmber OF Commerce Of The STATE Of Ner- York. Hc,r.
York. Nov. q. 1871.
That the neglect of public duty results in
individual loss was never so clearly illustrated
az it has been in this city during the last ten
years. Merchants have wholly neglected, or
at least been indifferent to their political obi
cations, and, as q consequence, the City and
State have passed into the hands of the igno.
rant and dishonest. In this port We have seen
men charged with bribery and accused of de-
frauding tho Government placed in control of
the Custom House and Qualantine,-two
departments whose honest administration
is of the gravcst personal concern to
every merchant. DR.. Carnochan, as
Health Officer, has sold to others the privilege
OF illegally taxing important trades out of
existence, and driven valuable commerce to
other ports. Thomas Murphy, as Collector, has
compromised with smueglers until he has
forced scores of the smaller traders to resort
to the tricks Of the contrabandists The port
must be well rid alike of the corrupt practices
that have grown up under the rule of each.
Nothing less than the thorough reform of these
departments OF the State and General Govern
crnment and the transfer of these Offices to
business men of high character identified with
the interests of commerce, can reform these
abuses.
We have shown that the great majority of
the present lIarhOr Masters are corrupt max
IN, cxaciions which our already 0vcrbuidcncd
commerce cannot sustain, and selling their

1t is through no fault of TIE TRIBUNE that

of these States, but have been suddenly silent

to light the baIbarties and atrocities of the
Ku-klux. No party can afford to pursue this
policy; and it is not crcditable to the fairness
or the sagacity of the Democrats, North and
South, that they have steadily refused TO look
on one side of the truthful picture presented,
while the other has been persistcntly and tri-
nmphantly held up to public view. The Dem.
oc'a'lc journals have been swift to dcnOunco
