THE HORSE DISEASE Shows No ABATING
SIGNS in this city. Some deaths have oc-
CURED, and more are extremely likely to fol-
low. A disregard of the warming given in the
HERALD to keep all horses in the stable when
exhibiting even the mildest phases Of the dis
ease is bringing its Nemesis to the cruel and
avaricious. We have now reached the crisis
Of the disorder, and if all goes we'll may ex-
pect a gradual recovery after to-day in the
lighter cases. The telegraphic reports do not
vary the story heretofore reaching u.s. The
epihippic has not reached the South as yet
Oxen are being used in various directions
as a substitute for horses, and we under
stand some city firms will introduce them
to New York to-day. We shall be glad to note
the hour when this invasion by Taurus is on
it's last legs ; we believe that New York does
not want any more Dos on our streets about
election time, and that beef can be put to better
account

President Thiers and the French
National Assembly.

According to some of the Paris papers
vigorous effort will be made when the AS
sembly resumes its sittings to set the Republic
on solid basis. It is proposed to make NJ
Theirs President for life, to create an Upper
Chamber and the Office of Vice President, to
partially remodel the Assembly, and to modify
the electoral laws by providing some restric-
tions upon the right of universal suffrage.
Until some such changes are made France
cannot be said to be Republic in the proper
sense of the term. II is impossible to refuse
to admit that France has wonderfully recuper-
ated under the government of M. Theirs and
the Assembly. But the state of things
is provisional. Too much depends
upon the life of one man. The
death of the President tomorrow could not
fail to be great national calamity, and it
might revive all the horrors of the Communal
It is high time that this provisional state of
things should cease. An Upper Chamber and
Vice President are certainly necessary if
France would enjoy the blessings of constitu-
tional government. The Upper Chamber
would act as check on the Assem-
bly,, and in the event of the sudden
death of the President the Vice President
would be ready to step into his place. With
two-thirds majority in the Assembly willing
to do his bidding President Theirs may sue
ceed in accomplishing his purpose and carry
ing through his proposed amendments. It is
questionable, however, whether the mass Of
the people will be found as subservient as the
Assembly. There are hundreds of thousands
Of Frenchmen who are of the opinion that the
present Assembly has had q long enough lease
Of power, and that it ought to die What
these persons want is the dissolution of the
Assembly and fresh appeal to the people.
If M. Theirs attempts these constitutional
changes without appealing to the people he
will certainly raise storm. If he appeals to
the people he is likely to find an answer very
different to that which he would wish. There
is difficulty either way. Believing, as we do,
that President Theirs really wishes to give the
Republic fair chance, we wish him all man
ner of success; but we cannot refuse to admit
that in the accomplishment of his work all his
skill and tact and frmness will be needed.

THE SUEz CANAL AND THE TRIBUNAL OF
COMMERCE. readers will .emember that
some months ago the Suez Canal Company on
their own authority altered and increased
tonnage dues chargeable on vessels passing
through the canal Loud complaints were
immediately raised by the British merchants,
and some Of them went SO far as to say that
the increased dues made the canal route so
costly that it would be more economical to re-
sumo the old route and seek the Eastern seas
via the Cape of Good Hope. The question
was raised whether the canal company had the
right to alter on their own authority the dues
originally fixed. This question was referred
TO the Tribunal Of Commerce. The Tribunal
has decided against the claim Of the company.
II is thought that the company will appeal
against this decision but the presumption is
that the old rates will be resumed.

Spirit and Spice OF Leading Religious
Organs.
The advent of Mr.. james Anthony Froude, the
English historian, is the chosen topic Of con-
sideration by our leading religious brethren Of
the press the past week. In the absence
of any other text it is, perhaps, well for them
to take in hand a matter that possesses so
much of religious as well as of general inter-
est.
The Evangelist (Presbyterian) remarks that
nothing could be more honorable, alike to the
giver and receiver than the welcome extended

exists all over the world. Until now, Mr..
Froude has been known personally only in the
British islands, but by his writings che has
made his name household word wherever
the English language is spoken. Thus great

genius and his contributions to the intelligence
and the enjoyment Of mankind. at once obtains
the freedom of the world" This handsome
compliment from the source from which it
emanates is entitled to more than usual respect.
Will the Evangelist act as kindly toward Father
Burke, the able antagonist Of the distinguished
English historiographer and lecturer2
The Evangelist also happily refers to the
celebration Of the semi-centennial anniversary
of services in connection with the American
Tract Society, performed by the Rev. DR.. Will
liam A. Hallock. The event was appropriately
commemorated at the residence of Dr. Hal
lock few weeks ago. 1t is interesting to note
that the annual receipts and expenditures Of
the society have increased nearly hundred
fold since DR.. Hallock commenced his earnest
work in its behalf-rising from five thousand
to Eve hundred thousand dollars. This is
really "a memorable half-century of service
The Golden Age, adapting the favorite phrase

that have attended the liberal cause in the

argues the Golden Age, ''and you say, What of

Professor Hutchings the once famous eight
answered to his own soul that proposition
in arithmetic made by the Saviour centuries
ago touching the comparative value of the
human soul and the world, is now trying to
instruct others how they too can calculate the
profit and loss. Yesterday the Plymouth
Baptist congregation were visibly moved by
his earnestness and deep pathos as he
expounded the story Of Mary and Martha's
relations to Jesus the Son Of God While the
latter was numbered with worldly cares the
former chose the one thing needful-the one
thing satisfying-a place at the Masters feet,
where the Professor would have all his hearers
seek rest for their souls. Mr.. Hepworth held
weak Christians might lean upon it. "Givs
me Christ" he exclaimed, "and you give me
the greatest desire of my heart /; take Him
away, and if you give me Aladdin's lamp still
my cravings are unsatisfed." In answer to
Mr. Hepworth's question, "How many men in
New York have found ont that character is
more than money!" we might say thousands.

Infallibility, both Churchly and Papal, was

publicanism and the blunders of the Cabinet.
They will ask, however, that in the four years
that are coming the experience Of the four
years that viii soon have passed shall
not be disregarded; that General Grant, in
return for the confidence they repose in him,
will free himself from the policy indirectly
condemned by his own organs that he will
call about him advisers more in sympathy with
the popular sentiment, and prove himself still
as independent Of political intrigue as he was
when he rebuked Congressional interference
with the army, resisted the attempt to violate
the parole granted to General Lee, vindicated
the sincerity Of the ex-rebels in their abandon
ment Of the heresy of secession, and con-
demned the immediate enfranchisement of
millions of ignorant freedmen incapable of
understanding the responsibilities of ON
elector.
We do not believe that President Grant will
disappoint the people who are about to bestow
their highest honor upon him for the second
time. Certainly he has splendid opportunity
to found reputation in peace only equalled
by his reputation in war-a reputation that
shall place his name in the list of American
Presidents second only to that of George Wash
ington. His resources are immense, for while
ruling over nation of over forty millions OF

The administration of Grant will make

tional Office Of the President will re-
main intact, TO be used to protect the
public credit and Treasury from hostile
legislation and the bourdless Southern
claims growing out of the war. Recon-

milk, which it closely resembles.

StantoR's First Meeting with
Lincoln.

MIR. Stanton's permanent residence
in the city Of Washington was forced
upon him against his viii. His con-
stantly increasing practice, as he ap-
preached the meridian splendor of his
legal attainments, finally occupied all
his time before the Supreme Court of
the United States. On his arrival at
the national capital hequietIy procured
an transformations suit of rooms, and
putting on the door-post to their street
entrance the modest and well-worn
sign he brought from Steubenville,
Ohio, he was prepared for business;
and the sign was never taken down
while Mr.. Stanton lived. 1t was in
this eliminating era of his studious life
(1S59,) when nothing but the absorbing
routine Of lawyers life interested
him, that he was one morning, while
in his Office, and always before his
clerks made their appearance, confront
ed by a tall, ungainly-looking Western
man, who, upon holding out his hand,
was first greeted with a look from those
strange, dreamy eyes which habitually
glanced through Mr.. Stanton's specta-
cles, and the next instant Abraham
Lincoln and Edwin NJ. Stanton warmly
greeted each other. Taey were associ-
ate counsel in the great "M'Cormiek
Reaper Case," which at the time, from
the large pecuniary interest involved,
attracted public attention.
How little these two men at that in
stant understood the mighty future in
which they were to be associated as
prominent actors! But Providence
ordained that in this humble and un-
way Mr.. Lincoln should be-
come intimately acquainted with the
sympathetic heart, unfiinching patriot
ism, and iron firmness of Mr.. Stanton,
upon which last-nansed quality Mr..
Lincoln, in the darkest hours of his
tribulations at the White House, was
destined to lean for support.
1t would be sadly interesting, now
that both these men sleep in the grave,
II the casual conversations of Mr.. Lin
coin and Mr.. Stanton at this time could
be read by living men. 1t is not Diff
cult to imagine how Mr.. Lineoln's
common-sense and practical knowledge
of the value of the Mccormick reaper,
which had aided SC much in the devel-
opment of the wealth of the prairies Of
illuminated the hard, dry,
legal experience of Mr.. Stanton, and
gave the Washington attorney new
views of the relations and dependencies
