Judgment the government of Italy has en-
croached on his domains 1t has despoiled
him of his temporal sovereignty and of the
income which thereto belonged. He has
taken strong ground against Italian encroach-
ments, and he cannot resile from his position.
II is not to be forgotten, however, that Pope
Plus the Ninth has but few years to live,
and that what is not possible or convenient
for him may be at once possible and conve-
nient for his successor in office. The Pope
does well to remain in Rome The Italians
do not wish to lose his gracious presence in
the ancient city. With Italy well disposed
and kind, and the whole Catholic world con-
tributing to his comfort, the Holy Father has
small reason to regret the new conditions
under which he lives. Rome was once the
centre of the world. With sacred and a
secular chief living within its walls why
should it not become the centre of the world
again?

who build ii will not enrich themselves and
give us barren railway We are in favor of
the Northern Pacific just as we favored the
Union Pacific and every enterprise that adds
in any way to the greatness and prosperity of
America. But we object to the hasty, crude,
immoral and pernicious legislation which
creates these corporations, gives them enor-
nous grants and permits them to manage the
business without the scrutiny of the govern
ment. If there had been honest scrutiny in
the first place we should not have had the
Credit Mobilier and the dismantled road
it threw upon the government. We cannot
govern corporations by the moral laws. If we
have honest scrutiny of the Northern Pacific
we shall avoid trouble. Nor in demanding
this from Congress do we make any reflection
upon the men who have interests in the own
ership and management. They are in all
respects, as the worlds opinion goes, honor
able men but bad men may usurp their seats,
as we saw 10 Erie, and without the guarantee
of law we should be at their mercy. This
is what we propose when we urge upon
Congress the duty of opening up the whole
Credit Mobilier business and Furnishing the
men who absorbed the national endowment,
and the further duty of taking cognizance of
the Northern Pacific. Having given this road
as much land as is contained in the European
area OF France we must see that that land is
applied honestly to the purpose of building
railway to the Pacific If this Is done we
shall have in time double track railway for
the whole distance and an enterprise worthy
Of the government.
We must, then, have an end of special sub
sidy legislation. We cannot remember bill
of this character that was not in some way a
job. Instead of endowing special corpora
tions, let bill be passed laying down condi-
tions under which any railway in new coun-
try may file its map in the Land Office and
take grant. Let it be provided that such
road must be certain number Of miles from
any other; that the lands must be in value at
least one-half of the amount necessary to build
the road; that they must be sold at GER
tain price to all who choose to buy, and that
no actual awardings shall ensue until the road
is built. Let this law be so framed that gene
rous subsidies to enterprise may go hand in
hand with the Homestead law. This will put
an end to jobbing, prevent the scandals that
have dsgraced our legislation, and, above all
things, put an end to the rapacity with which
our homestead lands are being seized by
Adventures and spectators.

The Spring Freshets.

The spring freshets, unusually late this
year, promise to be unusually destructive.
The late extensive and heavy rains are pro-
ducing pretty general breakup of the
recent ice-bound streams over all the country
east of the Mississippi and in the immediate
valley Of that great river on the west side.
The breaking up of the Mohawk and the
upper Hudson has ushered a considerable
flood upon Albany, bringing down the river
immense quantities Of ice. The tributaries of
the Ohio, on both sides, have in many cases
been swollen beyond their banks, carrying off
bridges and other Instructions to the free pas
sage of the rushing waters. Reports from
below Louisville say that the low country
there is all flooded. North and South, but
especially in the Southwest there will.
doubtless, be from these spring floods album
dance Of work given to bridge and railway
builders.
But our great fear is for New Orleans.
These April floods, from the Allegheny tribu-
taries of the Mississippi, and from the imme-
date streams on the west side, will be apt to
ill the river below to the top of its embank-
ments, and to hold them full or OVERLOOKING
till the floods from the melting SHOWS of the
Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains come
rolling down from the Missouri, the Arkansas
and the Red River and then will come the
danger to New Orleans. We threw out some
warnings to New Orleans on this subject a
month ago, and we are gratifed to perceive
that the authorities and citizens of that -four
ishing city are wide awake to the danger
suggested. Nor can they be too active in
their preparations; for the strengthening Of
their levees at all points should now, to
authorities and citizens, be the special order
Of the day.

Field Day for Political Conventions.
To-day will be field day for political State
conventions in various parts of the country,
as well as for the novelty Of national con-
vention of colored people in the city Of New
Orleans The following is list of the con-
ventions as officially called:-
l. Pennsylvania State Republican Conven-
ton in Harrisburg, for the nomination of State
officers and the selection of delegates to the
Republican National Convention in Phila-
delphia, June 5.
2. Massachusetts, State Republican Conven-
ton in Worcester, for the nomination of State
officers and the selection Of delegates to the
National Republican Convention.
8. Florida State Republican Conv ention in
Jacksonville, for the choice Of delegates to the
National Republican Convention and other
purposes.
4. Oregon Republican State Convention in
Portland, for the selection Of delegates to the
National Republican Convention and other
purposes.
s. Kansas Liberal Republican State Con-
VentlOn In topeka, lor Iue purpose VI seleCt-
ing delegates to the Cincinnati Liberal Repub-
lican National Convention.
6. National Convention of colored delegates
to New Orleans, for commercial and politi-
cal purposes.
From the above II will be seen that while
the republicans, both regular and irregular,
are making active preparations for the coming
campaign, and that while even ''our colored
fellow citizens are moving into position pre-
paratcry to the impending conflict, the demo-
Gratis are making no public demonstrations in
that direction. The National Executive Com :
mittee will, however, meet in the early par. Of
next month and arrange for the time Of hold
ing the National Convention and consult about
other matters for the benefit of the party.
In regard to the convention of colored peo-
pie 1t has been intimated that they intend to
demand for their race a representative in the
next Cabinet Of General Grant, IL he should
be elected, as quid pro quo for their support
ia the approaching election

vesuvius In Violent Misunderstanding
Appearance Of Pillar Of Flame.
Coincident with our reports of the occur
renee of earthquake shocks In California and
Antioch, and with the news of the completion
almost of the desolation of the ancient city
which was named and embellished by Sileneus
Nicator in the year 30l, B. C.-we have intel
ligence which assures us that Mount Vesuvius
is in violent eruption. A telegram from Rome,
under date Of yesterday, states that the vol
cano has sent forth column of flame which
rises to height Of several hundred feet above
the mouth of the crater, and that stones,
ashes and cinders are driven from the
fiery furnace and scattered in dense showers
around the summit and sides of the mountain.
The peoples neighboring the scene are hasten
ing to witness the spectacle. number of
tourists took their departure from Naples yes
terday with the view of securing safe and
advantageous position for the enjoyment of
the sight. Nature is evidently busy in her
laboratory, and man must await the result of
her operations with courage and philosophy.
Let us hope that he will have faith also, like
unto that which moved the hearts Of the people
who were led by cloud by day and pillar
of fire by night. The first recorded eruption
of Vesuvius occurred in the year TO- The
elder Pliny persisted by it, and the cities
of Herculaneum, Pompeii and Stable were
overwhelmed and burned by lava and
ashes. Forty-nine eruptions followed in the
period from 70 to the year 1850. They were
more or less violent at intervals. The most
serious, and consequently the most cele-
brated, took place in the years 472, 1873,
1894, 1919, 1884, 1889, 1868 and 1871.
The latest was equal to the present in
its ferceness of first effort and more
excessive-so far as the present is yet
told of-in its ruinous consequences to life
and against the home peace and property of
moment from their humble homes at the base
Of the burning pyramid. Stones and ashes
were thrown from the crater of Vesuvius into
the Bay of Naples at that time.
The Holy Book assures US that there shall
be ''sgns and wonders" before the end. Do
we now hear of the premonitory symptoms of
the coming of grand revolution of Nature,
or have we only the natural evidences as
Heaven-sent events designed by the Omnipo-
tent to mark the commencement of an era of
radical change in the current of the affairs of
our sublunary planet, aud to afford to mankind
fixed point for date Of a new departure"
in the history of the world and its peoples?

John Bright Dccines n British Presiden-
tiaI Nomination.


A party OF English democratic revolutionary
republicans have just forwarded an address to
John Bright, in which they declare that he sis
destined to be the first President Of the republic
Of Great Britain" The distinguished nominee
of the radicals replies in letter the purport
of which appears in the HERALD to-day.
Mr.. Bright endures the prospect of the COM
ing executive honor with degree of modesty
characteristic at once of his personal conduct
in political life and of his religious bearing
in an unobtrusive simple congregation. He
expresses the hope that ''it will be a long
time before the English people are called upon
to decide between republic and the
monarchy. Their ancestors settled the mat
ter for them--at least for the present; pos
terity must decide In the future" Mr. Bright
expresses doubt as to whether the republicans
are his real friends. In this he DISPLAYS the

The Hopeless Situation In Mexico.

The struggle in Mexico continues undated,
and the prospect of its end appears to be
more remote than ever. According to our
special dispatches from Matamoros each side
is striving desperately to obtain the mastery,
each side claims to have achieved important
victories, and each side is relatively too strong
to 'throw up the sponge and yield to the
other. On the one hand it is positively as
serted that Treviho has combined the revolu-
tionary forces in the matchmaking in all quite
a respectable army-for formidable attack
on Matamoros, and that the Inhabitants of
that city are panc-stricken, experimenting
capture by the revoutionists. On the other
hand there comes report to the effect that
Rocha, at the head Of q victorious army,
which is constantly increasing by re-
Inducements, continues his unopposed
march on Saltillo. The possession
of that place will be an important gain to the
Juarez government, but not important enough
to counterbalance the loss of Puebla, should
the advices from Monterey announcing the
capture of that great city by the revolution
lists receive confirmation. If, in addition to the
taking of Puebla, TreviIo can accomplish his
object-the capture of Matamoros-then the
revolutionists will acquire the preponderance
in the greater part of the country. The in
terest of the struggle is at present centred in
Matamoros. General Palacios, the COM
mander of that city, is making desperate prep
arations of defence, but should the expected
relief of government troops not arrive in time
the place will fall into the hands Of the revo-
lutionists. The loss of Matamoros would be a
fatal blow to the government aud prolong
the struggle for an indefinite period Thus we
cannot see CLEAN of hope in the present
situation, and Mexicans of both factions might
go on cutting each others throats till the crack
of doom unless Power superior in strength
to both combined intervenes and makes an
end to the terrible civil strife which now de-
vastates poor Mexico. The Monroe doctrine
and other imperative considerations of sound
policy forbid that that Power should be any
other than the United States.

The Popo Refuses the Italian Dotation.
A sum of money, as will be seen by refer
ring to our cable dispatches of this morning.
has been offered to the Pope by the Italian
government. The Pope, with dignity not at
all unbecoming his position, has declined the
Offer The Holy Father states that he is not
yet in want. He adds that when it becomes
a necessity for him to take aims as means OF
subsistence he will receive such only from
the Catholic world. This we cannot help
regarding as noble and dignifed course
We cannot blame the Italian government for
making the offer. 1t reveals kindly spirit
It does moro it shows us that there is an
honest. earnest and even anxious disposition
ON the part of the government of Italy to
make the Holy Father as comfortable as pos
sible under the new condition of things. AS
little eau we blame the HOLY Father. In his

IDLE RUMoRs. Victoria, as all our
readers know, has just returned from her
visit to Germany. This German visit has
given birth to all sorts Of idle rumors. 1t has
been associated in the public mind of England
with the marriage of the Queens youngest
daughter, the Princess Beatrice. Il has been
stated that the Queen went to Germany to see
the Princess Mary Of Cambridge and dissuade
her from seeking divorce from her husband
q divorce which would scandalize English
society and bring disgrace upon the royal
family. 1t has also been said that the Queen
really intends to abdicate and that her visit to
Germany had relation to this determination.
1t will not surprise US to learn that each and
all OF the rumors are idle. II is simply absurd
to talk Of the Queens abdication Why should
she abdicate3 Would the British people per-
NIT 1t II she wished to take such a course?
And why should she 20 to Baden Baden to
