HE STATEN ISLAND FERRY IMPOSITION. -
The people of Staten Island are naturally in
dignant with the North Shore Ferry Company
for raising the fare fifty per cent. They are
holding indignation meetings "a the subject,
but these will do but little good, for our ferry
companies are notoriously avaricious and un-
rust towards the public. The best plan the
Staten Islanders can pursue is to go to the
Legislature and seek q remedy there Cor
porations may find it more difficult to buy
mp committees and Representatives next session
than it has heretofore been, and we have no
doubt o remedy against the present extortion

CARDINALS HATS VACANT IN THE VATICAN
BY cable telegram from Nice we are informed
that His Eminence Cardinal Luigi Amat, Vice
Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church, died
in the Northern italian city on the 7th instant.
He was seventy-six years of age man of
piety, learning and zeal. The event of his
demise leaves twenty-eight scarlet hats vacant
in the conclave Of the Vatican, the twenty
seventh having been rendered SO by the de-
cease Of Cardinal Angelo Quaglia in the month
Of August last. His Holiness Pope Plus TX.
has thus nm unusual amount of Pontifcal pat
ronage in his gift. His exercise of the oppor-
tunity for hierarchcal creation yill have
very decided effect, not only on the question Of
the succession to the tiara, but on the religious
feeling of the peoples and Church influences

When London sweep on one occasion

where sweeps had no social consideration It

English press have been industriously be-
smirching the New York HERALD and its
correspondent Mr. Stanley, since the
success Of the Livingstone expedition. The
conduct Of the latter gentleman, amid
storm of this journalistic SCOT, has been
marked throughout with manliness and
moderation becoming a man who. having
been the means Of doing civilization SER

The portion of the article in question
pertinent to this personal question, and
which we may paradoxically allude to as

another column. America or the Herald
expects little from such O source in the line Of
fair treatment. When it introduces its disir.'
genuous argument with quotation from
Hawthorne to convey On Americans impress
sions from some Of the usages ofpolite society,
it shows simply its immemorial ignorance Of
America and Americans, and no less mis-
understanding of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Il
may be scarcely worth while to correct il ON
the latter as it would be hopeless to help
it on the former; yet word may be of seq
vice. Hawthorne, in saying of Lord Lans-
downe "he would have me remember that he
was peer, and that he yielded the step to
me-" went with one of his keen, delicate incis.
ions to the marrow Of grade of snobbery,
which is none the less so from being found
in the manners of o noble lord. Hawthorne
was not the man to notice whether q lord
or Saturday Reviewer went before or behind
him, SO long as the question Of precedence
was not placed in some visible shade of Often
siveness. Your obsequious reviewer, among
'those who knew the Marquis" You know,
might not possibly observe the ostentatious
condescension in the bland old gentleman
bowling at the foot Of the stairs; but Haw-
thorne, the peer of any noble, did and said
so. The best proof that the reviewer ID

Our European files just to hand help us to
an explanation of the late French elections
Seven seats in the Assembly were vacant. OF
course all the parties did their best to win.
The Bonapartists,, the legitimists, the Orlean-
lists, the republicans, were all in the field.
Money was freely spent but whatever tho
cause and whether right or wrong, the repub-.
icans have come out victorious. Six Of the
seven departments have returned to the Assem-
bly, republican deputies The Duke d'Aumale
did his best for his friends, but his friends
were defeated. The Count de Chambord pite-
ously implored; but not a single legitimist
had the shadow Of q chance. The Bonapart-
lists fought well, but scarcely vote was given
in favor of the Empire. Out of the latest con-.
fict President Theirs has come forth victo-
rious. He has declared himself in favor Of
the Republic, and, looking at these latest
figures, we must admit that the present admin
istration is satisfactory to the bulk Of the
French people. 4 M. Gambetta and President
Theirs are for the present the two most potent
names in France. The one is the man Of the
hour; the other is the man Of the future.
Contrasted with the power which these
men WELD legitimacy and Orleanism
and Bonapartism are weak The situa-
ton may change in an hour; but
it is not possible to refuse to admit that the
French people, in city and country, are Of the
opinion that the Republic is quite as good as
the Empire, and perhaps better than the King
DOM According to our latest news the Presi-
dent does not intend to propose any imme-
date changes. This we think is well. Radi-
cal changes, no matter in what direction made,
might bring about revolution; and as revolu-
ton is the one thing which France wishes to
avoid President Theirs will do well to allow
the ship Of state to float on without troubling
the waters or disturbing the sails. Consider
ing her past experience, her many efforts and
her frequent failures, France has fair right
to be the first well-estabished Republic on
grand scale in Europe. All true Americans
wish success to the present republican expert
ment in Old France and M. Theirs has done
so well that he ought to be remembered in
history as the Father of his Country or

organs as things go now. If Greeley were
elected they would have become bloated and
arrogant too; SO they and the public should
congratulate themselves that the jewel Of indie
pendence is plucked from the brow of their
apparent adversely.
The path Of superiority to mere party, in
which the HERALD has walked almost alone in
America, is fast being marked as the only one
in which journalism can permanently prosper.
1t is the difference between addressing, that is
being read by, the whole people instead of
section. At every step taken in this path
alternate applause and howlings are heard
from thick-and-thin politicians and sink-or-
swim party papers. This is nothing. The
entire course Of the best party the world ever
saw could not be worthy the commentator Of
an enlightened and honest journal. The party
journal is and must be dishonest on many
points When it is not special pleader for
its party's aims it is whitewasher Of its
party's errors, faults or crimes. Another thing
which stands in the way Of its success as
q newspaper is that, in being an organ,
it is nothing else. Il neglects its
news; it lacks all enterprise in any
direction outside of securing slips be-
forehand Of its party leaders speeches
and printing them to the exclusion of the
interesting matters which occupy the rest of
the world. 1t could not send correspondent
to Africa or Cuba, because 'the party has no
utilization there; it could not spend it's re-
sources on learning the welfare or progress of
Egypt, because the modern Egyptians do not
vote ''the straight ticket" Itgauges everything
through party spectacles, and never, there
fore, sees itself or the world in true colors
With the swelling numbers of the Independent
press we expect to see this old style journal
more and more recede into the past II is the
pride Of the HERALD to have led the van of
newspaper independence and enterprise on
this Continent and, with the encouragement
we gain from the new departure utterances in
the journals we have named, we expect soon to
be able to say that the American journalism
stands at the head Of the press Of the civilized

rather vote for brave Southern
general who had carried arms against US than
for such candidate as Francis Herman They
honor the Union soldier for his gallantry, and
are won by his military renown; but they
would gladly see him extend the hand of thor
ough reconciliation to his former antagonists,
and they believe that the cause Of peace is
safest in his keeping. Under these circum-
stances General Grant must know that his
own popularity as soldier has given him the
splendid political victory he has just achieved;
that the people honor and trust him for him

ally rendered to his country, and that he is
thus especially bound to study and respect the
popular sentiment in the future policy of his
administration.
No President has ever entered Office with
more promising opportunities for brilliant
career than will President Grant on the 18th
of next March. He will have at his back over
two-thirds of both Houses Of Congress and the
governments of nearly oil the States of the
Union. In the great city of New York his
friends will hold possession of. the local

stance of how this will react in other depart
ments we may mention that it will also necessi-
tate doubling Of our stcreotyping arrange

building An unprofessional reader Of the
HERALD, without this explanation, would
hardly see how the posting of an extra corps
OF HERALD news vedettes around the world
would call the pressmaker, the architect, the
machinist and the skilled stereotyper into in
slant requisition at home. When thus made
clear we have no doubt that its rationale and
its execution will prove interesting.
From time to time within the past year an
alleged intention on our part to transfer the
HERALD establishment to the new build
ing on the corner of Ann and Nassau
streets has found paragraphic expression in
the press As we have said above,
such is not the case The building in
question, designed by Mr.. Arthur Gilman,
the architect of the Equitable Insurance on
Broadway, and the Drexel banking house on
Wall street, will be of the freproof order, con-
structed wholly throughout Of iron with brick
arches and iron Orders. 1t will be one of the
highest buildings in the city, six stories high,
and furnished with two elevators, making con-
tinual ascents and descents, SO that one Of
them will be always available for going up or
coming down. The lower stories will

THE Mexican bandit question w

THE Mexican bandit question will, we think, soon get the attention of the State Department. There is a lot oi Kickapoo Indians in harmony with the Mexicans opposite the Texas bor- der, and Gen. Reynolds recited their outrages to the War Department and asked for privilege to pursue them into Mexico, and the matter was referred by the Secretary of War to the State Department as proper subject for its attention. This on Nov. 4, 1871. This business will soon get powerful atten- ton, or we are much mistaken.
