kingdoms. Sweden, Norway and Denmark,
would be united under ONE ruler. Such .
combination Is, no doubt, for many reasons
desirable. II would give strength and unity
to an ancient and once powerful race. whence
sprung the Sea Kings of the Middle Ages.
Unhappily. however, for the carrying out of
this idea the Salic law Is still in force in
Sweden. 1t has not yet. so far as the world
knows. been repealed The late King leaves
behind him brother, by name Oscar Frederic,
and, unless an unexpected revolution takes
place in Sweden, we shall expect to learn ON
an early day that Oscar the Second has peace
ably mounted the throne of Sweden and
Norway. OF course there will be q double
coronation, one at Stockholm and one at
Drontheim, and the presumption is, in spite
of some dreemers that the union of the
Scandinavian Kingdoms will be postponed for
at least another generation, IL not indefinitely
or forever.

THE WALL STREET DRAMA presents new and
deeply interesting scenes as it progresses from
day to day. Yesterday the clique deliberately
s'gobbled'' the government gold which Mr.
Boutwell, sold to the highest bidders, and pre-
vented it from going into the market. But in
endeavoring to ''cut their rum old rigs" in the
money market again they were suddenly
checked by two of the largest downtown banks,
the officers of which refused to hand over the
greenbacks in exchange for certified checks,
and accepted the obloquy of nominal bank
ruptcy in order to test their power of breaking
up the "locking-up" conspiracy. The matter
has gone to the courts. and an interesting de-
velopment is awaited.
The New York herald., 1872-09-20

The FALL FASHIONS. Yesterday was festal
occasion for the bellies who have returned from
the watering places. Many Of the leading
modistes threw open the doors of their estab-
lishments for the first time this season and gave
fine display of the Fall styles. In another
column of the HERALD will be found descrip-
ton of these styles. Good taste and common
sense still hold their own with the fair SEX
and the extravagances Of past years seem to be
abandoned forever.

The Death OF the King OF Sweden.
A cable despatch informs us that His
Majesty Charles XIV, King of Sweden, died
at Malm5 on Wednesday night Malm5 is q
respectable seaport town of the old Scandina-
vian kingdom it is the capital Of a len on
the Sound, one Of the most fertile districts of
the Kingdom, and is distant some sixteen
miles from Copenhagen. The death of the
King was not wholly unexpected, for we had
day before been notified of his serious illness.
Kings die like ordinary men. To them, as
to oil of us, the last hour will come
and in their case, as in the case Of the
rest of us, when the final hour does come
human skill must be found unavailing. The
death Of the Swedish King commands atten-
ton from q variety of causes. The late
King was the grandson Of the celebrated Ber-
nadotte, one Of the First Napoleon's best
generals and o marshal of the First Empire.
Of oil the French commanders who had
figured under Napoleon Bernadotte was the
most distinguished for the clemency which he
showed to the vanquished in the hour of
victory. It was known, besides, that he was
one of the few leading men at the head of the
then terrible army of France who despised
Napoleon's Unsuitable ambition and who were
impatient of his arrogance. Before the death
of Charles Kill the Swedes found it necessary
to look after suitable successor to the throne,
and the qualities above referred 70 recon-
mended the great French general, himself
almost the rival Of Napoleon, as the man for
the position. When the matter was first
broached Napoleon objected. What" said
Bernadotte, s'iwfl you make p me greater than
yourself by making me refuse CROWN"
The Emperor felt the force Of the
words, and his reply was:-"So!
our fates must be accomplished"
Bernadotte' became Crown Prince of
Sweden and ultimately King. It was pain
full to him to fight against his countrymen and
his former chief; but he he found it necessary
to enter into the coalition which finally over
threw the man who began as the iberator and
fell as the tyrant Of Europe. As was said of
the first Bernadotte, so it may be said of his
son and his grandson, they ruled Sweden and
Norway wisely and well, and left the United
Kingdoms more prosperous than they found
them. The first Bernadotte, King Of Sweden,
was only lawyers son; but the successful
reigns of himself, of his son, Oscar, and of the
now deceased Charles abundantly prove that
man qualified to occupy throne and to
WELD o sceptre is not necessarily born in the
purple. .ts 6s- -.
The deceased King leaves daughter, his
only child, who is the wife of the Crown
Prince of Denmark. Most Of our readers will
remember that when this marriage took
place, some three years ago, there
was much talk of the possible union
of the Crowns of Denmark and Sweden,
and rumor had it that on the occasion of the
death Of either monarch the scandinavian

tremendous revolution, through all its pro-
parchment of President johnson. had occur
red in the eventful interval between the first
and the second visit of Dickens to this country.
In 1868 he found that during his absence our
population had doubled, our territorial area
had been enlarged by the absorption of vast
been more than quadrupled, and that railways
and telegraphs had worked miracles in the en-
largement of our ideas and in our general
enlightenment and solidarity as q people.
In this general advancement he found that the
independent press had vastly reformed the pre-
existing abuses and had removed the party
trammels Of American journalism, and that
this great agent of modern progress, with its
faithful Ariel, the telegraph, held the balance
of power in Church and State, and in the gen.
eral order of society. ,ro-<E tlH
Hence there was, in truth, neither retraction
nor humiliation in the apology of Dickens in
1868 for his caricatures of America and the
Americans from his observations of 1912. He
simply recognized the great revolution which
had done its work among us in his absence,
and with the two hundred thousand dollars
gathered from his readings he went his way
rejoicing. And now, from the gross and reck-
less personal denunciations of our party press
on both sides in this Presidential campaign,
the question recurs has there in reality been
any marked improvement in the tone and
temper of our party press and party politi-
clans since the time of Mr.. Jefferson Brick
and the Water-toast Association Yes; but
still our party journalists have much to learn.
They are still far behind the advancing spirit
of the age. They are still doing much to
poison the very fountains of our political
system in their unscrupulous and debasing
personalities. A stranger to our political con-
tests, from the perusal Of the party journals
On both sides at this time, would look in vain
for an honest or capable man standing as o
candidate for any official position. If in one
party journal he finds candidate possessed
of all the virtues of Cincinnatus, he will find
in another party oracle that this man is fit
only for the State Prison. N'1al
Thus, from the one side or the other Gene
raj Grant is denounced as q tyrant, an idiot
and a drunkard; and Mr.. Greeley as hypo-
crite, traitor and charlatan. And SO it
goes through the whole catalogue Of our can
didates for public Office and so, in con-
founding good and bad, our party politics are
corrupted, and American journalism is de-
graded in the eyes of the world. But
the continuing and still enlarpinp nros-
perity of the HERALD in pursuing
different course attests at once our ap-
probation of the intelligence, honesty and Sc
curity of the American people in their own
good Judgment and the suicidal folly of the
reckless party organ, which substitutes base in
ventions for facts and personal de.raction for
honest argument We can, then, only con-
clude that if American journalism at large has
greatly improved since 1842, our party press
is still like those Bourbons who ''never learn
anything and never forget anything'
The New York herald., 1872-09-20

We had very few railroads at that day and no
telegraphs, our first experimental electrical
wire being that of 1874 between Washington
and Baltimore. From the absence of ready
means Of intercommunication our people were
clannish and sectional, and there was then
meaning and vital power in the Southern
dogmas of State sovereignty which the railway
and the telegraph have since extinguished.
In 1842 the institution Of Southern slavery was
the supreme power behind our State Legis-
latures, the President, Congress and the
Supreme Court The Southern oligarchy,
through its fegencies and kitchen cabinets,
still ruled the party journalism Of the Union
for the Independent press was then still strug-
Cling into the foreground. We had learned
nothing from foreign wars but from our wars
with England, and nothing from these 80
much as the invincible prowess Of the Ameri-
can eagle. In 1842 even General Scott had
not become fascinated with the ''sweet Irish
brogue," and lager beer and beer gardens
were held as outlandish German innovations
In social refnements, in political knowledge
in music and the fine arts, in literature and
journalism, we could not see ourselves as
others saw us, for we're we not unapproachable
in our power and glory our progress and
manifest destiny? e.rt,
But oil this time the elements were gather
ing their mighty forces for the impending
deluge, and 'the windows of Heaven were
opened" and "the fountains of the great deep
were broken up on our world-amazing
Southern rebellion. The deluge passed away
and our surviving people found themselves in
new world from which old things had dis
appeared, and in which oil things had become
new. The contrast between the American
colonies under the British Crown and the
United States under their original constitution
was hardly greater than the change in all our
relations as a people from the Dred Scott de-
| cisi0a to the 6fteeath amendment Aud sais
