Cessrsss OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Bilis~
Gevsrnment Buildinss-Yerba Buesa.
Both houses were at work yesterday on the
practical business Of legislation. The Senate
passed bills for the erection of government
buildings at Albany, St. Louis, Hartford and
Raleigh, and then took up and spent most or
the day on the General Civil Appropriation
bill. 1t also adopted resolution instructing
the Committee on Commerce to make q
thorough inquiry into the subject of immigra-
ton. and of the treatment of immigrants after
their arrival and on railroads, and also into
the subject of quarantine and health reruls-
tons at the ports of New York, PHILADELPHIA
and Baltimore. In reference to the proposed
strike on the part of the great railroad cor
porations, to exact one-half larger compensa-
ton for carrying the mails, q letter
was read from Mr.. Thomas A. Scott, Presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad
Company, denying that he had authorized the
use OF his name to the circular addressed to
railroad men. But his letter does not seem
to have gone to the point of denying that he
had given his assent to the proposition, and
that is the main point in the affair. The
House disposed Of all the pending amend
ments to the Deficiency bill, and then passed
the bill. Mr.. Dawes succeeded in getting
into 1t an item to pay to workmen in the gov
eminent navy yards full days wages for
eight hours work-a remarkable piece of in
consistency on the part of the leader
of the House, who has pretensions
to be considered reformer and econ
omist. The Senate bill for the redemp-
ton of the thirty million three per cent
loan certificates was reported back to the
House adversely from the Committee on Bank
ing and Currency, and was, after an irregular
skirmishing fight, defeated by being laid on
the table. A proposition for an investigation
into newspaper charges against the Secretary
of the Navy was objected to, although it was
stated on behalf Of the Secretary that he de-
sired an investigation and courted 1t to it's
fullest extent. Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio, would
not consent, as he said, TO have the House
converted into Star Chamber Court, and
he was supported in his objection by Mr..
Banks, of Massachusetts,, on the ground that
there was no allegation specified in the reso-
luton which would justify the House in origi-
mating such an inquiry. The House spent
several hours over the Yerba Buena bill, but
adjourned without reaching vote. It will
not come up again before next Tuesday.

RepublIcan Canvass Of Now Hampshire.
The republican canvass just completed In
New Hampshire gives the State to the repub-
licans by about l, 200 majority; but competent
judges admit that this estimate is too hign'
as there has been slight increase in the tenn
perance vote since the canvass was made.
which vote, 1t is expected, will be drawn al
most exclusively from the republicans There
are four general tickets in the feld-the re-
publican, democratic, labor reform aud tenn
perance. In 1870 the labor reformers polled
1869 votes, last year but 7S0; temperance
vote in 1870, l, 167; last year, 3l4; republic
can majority in 1870, 1858. There was no
choice for Governor by the people last year,
the democratic candidate lacking 329 of the
necessary majority over all out of poll OF
60, 729. The Legislature, however, by
coalition between the democrats and labor
reformers, elected the democratic candidate,
and the State is now in the hands of the demo-
Gratis.
The recent canvass puts the total vote of
the State this year at "a, 900, being an increase
of about four thousand over last year, leaving,
it is calculated, 1880 to be divided between
the democrats and the republicans. Of this
number the republicans claim $4,000, and
hope to get little over $1,000. We have not
yet seen any report of democratic canVass
of the State. Perhaps the party managers
are too lazy to make one. 1t is said the
democrats are working quietly but very
assiduously, and claim the State by fair
majority. The fact that the Legislature to be
chosen on Tuesday next is to elect United
States Senator for six years may be the means
of considerable ''truck and dcker" between
all parties, and the grand result prove to be
the election of democratic Governor and a
republican Legislature. The republicans are
always ready to surrender a Governor to
secure United States Senator, and they act
wisely, too.

THE VIRGINIA FINANCIAL DEADLOCK Is
BRoKEN.-After one of the most desperate
struggles ever recorded in the annals of State
Legislation the Virginia lawmakers have
determined to repeal that section of the Fund
ing bill which stipulated the receipt of the
bond coupons by collectors in payment of
taxes, and to substitute law providing for
the payment of four per cent interest on the
funded debt According to our despatch,
published elsewhere to-day, this result has
arisen from compromise or compact between
the two houses of the Legislature.

The Erie Reform Bill In the senate-A
Better Prospect Ahead.

The Erie Reform Bill In the Senate-A
Better Prospect Ahead.
The Judiciary Committee of the State Senate
yesterday reported favorably Senator O'Brien's
bill to repeal the Classification act and - pro-
vide for an election of directors of the Erie
Railroad on the I'd of July next. The bill is
nearly the same as when introduced, except
that the provision requiring the transfer books
to be deposited with trust company for GER
tain time prior to the election is omitted. The
clauses requiring the present directors to make
transfers, issue certificates of stock and per-
NIT free access to the books of the company
appear to be carefully drawn, and the bill
seems to be an honest measure of reform. 1t
should be passed without any unnecessary
delay and sent down to the Assembly at as
early day as possible. No trifing
with the bill should be permitted, now
that it is fairly before the Senate. There
seems to be a disposition in the Assembly on
the part of some republicans to adhere to the
fortunes of the Ring, and the lobby will not
cease their efforts to buy sufficient number
of votes to prevent the passage of the O'Brien
bill or any other measure hostile to the inter-
ests of the present directors. But the republic
can leaders are beginning to recognize the
fact that the corruption of the present Legis-
lature, with SO large republican majority,
would be fatal to the prospects Of the party in
the approaching Presidential election, so far
as the State of New York is concerned, and
hence they will bring all their influence and
authority to bear upon those who evince q
disposition to sell themselves to the Erie
lobby. The prospect now appears to be more
promising for the overthrow of the men who
have so long set law and justice at
defiance, and have brought discredit upon the
nation. There are rumors that the Erie
directors are quarrelling among themselves,
and that the more honest of them are pre-
pairing to denounce and repudiate the acts of
Gould, Lane and their immediate creatures.
But there must, nevertheless, be no abatement
of vigilance and perseverance on the part of
the honest reformers in the State Legislature.
Senator O'Brien must see to it that the bill
reported by the committee is pushed steadily
forward to q final vote. We shall then see
whether the reform republicans will learn
lesson Of wisdom and vote unanimously for
the measure, or whether some of them will be
found rash enough to risk political infamy for
the sake of few thousand dollars of Erie
money.

Activity of Political Parties in France.
Political parties in France are theoretically
at work laboring to hasten or to delay the
crisis which appears almost inevitable. Bona
partists, Bourbons and republicans are all
playing their little games. M. Rouher, since
his election to the National Assembly and his
return to Paris, has become the central figure
Of the imperialists. The ex-Minister o.
Napoleon shows, in his recent course, deter
mination to become the leader of the free
trade party in the Assembly. Reaching this
position he would secure strength not to be
undervalued. Then, again, we are led to be-
lieve he intends taking the side, in some shape
or other, of the Pope; and his coquetting with
the generals of the army in and around Paris
is already matter of considerable gossip. In
all this there is an evident intention of
preparation for the laying down of pro-
granIf3e. President Theirs we'll understands
what these tactics mean, and is somewhat
alarmed at what may probably result
from them. The Bourbons, legitimate
and otherwise, are not less active.
Conventions across the border, dinners,
meetings and proclamations distinguish their
workings In the South of France monarchi-
cal agents are at work preparing the public
mind for the restoration of Henri v. as King
of France. In republican circles there is
much that is mysterious going on; but the
trouble with the republicans is that they will
not recognize the fact that they have already
a republic which needs only strengthening to
render 1t stable and lasting 1t is really hard
to define French republican. The uncer-
tainty which prevails in France to-day is well
calculated to shake much more secure gov
eminent than that Of NJ. Theirs. Every per-
son is looking for change, prospects are
discussed and probabilities considered. Far
ties are preparing for the grand tableau wh'cn
cannot be much longer delayed. A week may
change the whole aspect of affairs, and II may
take months, but when the last act is played
we fear the curtain will drop on the fall OF
republic, the place of which will DC supplied
by either q kingdom or an empire.

MYSTERIOUS AND SrARrLING-The arrival
IN Kingston, n Y, yesterday, of the corpse
of a handsome and accomplished beiress Of
that city, and the subsequent secret burial
within few hours of its arrival. This is a
good subject for the Coroner's investigation,
who will, doubtless, find that there is more in
it than al first meets the eye.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1872-03-08

the immunity he enJoys-then it cannot last
very long. America has never taken
very kindly to the spirit of the vendet-
ia; and the negroes and farmers of North
Carolina will find that nothing does them and
their interests more harm than the tolerance
of Lowery and his retainers.
We prefer, therefore, to look at Lowery and
his bloody exploits as q phenomenon Of the
restlessness, a manifestation of that social
responsibility necessarily resulting from the
war. He is something between robber and
rebel, and as robber or rebel he should be
arrested and put to death. The law belongs
to North Carolina as much as it does to New
York, and the State should capture this man
and his band and exterminate them even If
it required an army of men and the fighting of
a battle. No Commonwealth can violate, or
permit to be violated, any cardinal principle of
civil rights, and there is none more sacred than
the sanctity of person or property. This car
dinal principle is dead in North Carolina. When
a mob of angry citizens resolved that another
mob of citizens should not parade the streets
of New York with Orange flags and banners, in
memory of King William, the Commonwealth
of New York determined that the parade should
take place, If it were necessary to fight a
pitched battle on Broadway. Whatever we
may have thought of the taste or even the
propriety of Orange demonstrations in coun-
try of religious federation, the law was the
law, and there was no alternative So with
the Ku Klux demonstrations. We have no
doubt that there are many districts of the South
where the crimes of adventures and carpet
baggers and vagabonds will, in the eyes
of many, apparently justify the unlawful
deeds of'these bodies of men. But this does
not dull the edge of their crime, and the
President cannot too vigorously suppress their
unlawful efforts at vengeance and retaliation.
So with this Lowery clan! We read their
story with intense and wondering interest.
We lament the disorganized condition of
society which generates them. We believe
there is some latent evil or injustice at the
bottom of it all that must be remedied by wise
legislation. But in its present aspect it is an
offence to private morals, disgrace to public
law, and should be utterly stamped out if it
takes the whole power of the State of North
Carolina or even of the United States.

JOHN BULL AND THE GENEVA CoURT.-
The Alabama claims case for consequential or
inferential damages on the part of the United
States government appears to be very dis
tasteful to the English people, If we are to
judge Of their exact state of feeling by the
expression of the leading London press. 1t
looks, indeed, as If Mr.. John Bull were
anxious to retire from the Geneva Arbitration
Court completely. John is bothered in his
conscience about the whole Alabama matter
from the very beginning, but he remains stiff
necked in his generation, and does lot wish
TO come down to the plain Christian duty OF
conriuon and open confession, so as that he
may be prepared for the reception of our
citizen absolution at Easter Day.

Blsmarck's Views on the British American
Trenty Difficulty.

Treaty Difficulty.
Any opinion the great German statesman,
Prince Bismarck, may express on international
questions or difficulties must have weight in
the world. There is not, perhaps, among all
the great men of the time one more clear
headed, far-seeing and comprehensive than he
is. When we are told, therefore, that he
takes favorable view of the position the
United States government has taken with
regard to the disputed point of submitting the
question of consequential damages to the
Geneva Alabama Claims Arbitrators, and
that England is wrong in her attitude of
hostility to tho American case being
submitted to these arbitrators, the JUS
tice of our position is strengthened. The
expression of such views by the famous
German Chancellor will have good effect,
no doubt, in England. Bismarck, according
to the reported conversation he had with q
member of the German Parliament from Ham,
burg, when he spoke in this manner, said also
that there was no fear of war between Eng
land and the United States; that England was
clearly in the wrong, and that she would ex-
tricate herself from the exceedingly unpleas-
ant predicament. The language of the news
paper organ of the German Premier seems to
confirm the opinions expressed in this re-
ported conversation. 1t says:-"Apprehen-
sions have been manifested at some of the
commercial centres Of the German empire in
consequence of the complications that have
arisen between England and the United
States owing to the Interpretation of
the Treaty of Washington. The German
press has had 80 much to say about the injus-
tice of the English view Of the question that
we need not say anything on the subject, ex-
cept that we consider that English view un-
tenable; and, because it is unjust and
untenable, we think it is foregone conclusion
that the English government will not persist
in it." 1t is evident that the sentiment of the
statesmen and people of neutral nations is
growing more in favor of the United States
and against England on this disputed qdes-
ton. The English will not fail to see this,
and will, probably, change their tone. We
have never had any apprehension Of serious
difficulty, and believe, with Prince Bismarck,
that England will find way to extricate her.
self from the unpleasant predicament she has
placed herself in.
