HE REAPpEARANCE OF THE CHOLERA IN
SOUTHEASTERN EURopE.-Once more we have
tho intelligence that the cholera has again
made its appearance in southern Russia The
news comes from Constantinople, and the
Turkish authorities have adopted precaution-
ary measures to guard against its introduction
into Turkey. Its reappearance this year is
somewhat earlier than usual. Generally about
the middle Of July it has heretofore broken out
in the country now afflicted with it. Though
there is no immediate cause for alarm, il
is well to remember that this terrible disease
travels fast The railroads, steam vessels
and sailing ships may at any time intro
duce it into places from whence it can be easily
conveyed to our shores. The necessity of
extra vigilance over vessels arriving at this
port Is evident from the vast number of emf
grants daily pouring into the United States
from foreign countries, and the Quarantine
authorities we trust, will continue the exer-
else OF that watchfulness which has heretofore
distinguished them. This, with well swept and
clean streets and cleanliness of person, will be
an efiectual safeguard against the introduction
OF visitation which, in years back, made such
rayages among the inhabitants of this city,
and which in other countries more recently
has spread mortality among peoples poorly
prepared to resist so terrible plague

BIBLE INTERPRETATION BY REFoRsIERs IN
FaANcE.-The members Of the Protestant
Church Synod, now assembled in Paris, en-
gagged in an animated debate yesterday over
the subject of the authority of the Scrip
tural account Of the very essentials OF
Christianity-the divinity and resurrec-
ton of Christ, the Saviour. The
agitation eliminated in the initiation
of schism, the liberals withdrawing from
companionship with the orthodox members.
The command, search the Scriptures-the
ernudte tds graphdis Of the Holy Book-must
have been made subject to very free interpre-
tation indeed, one which is not likely to pro-
duce results tending to Christian cohesion in
the bond Of charity.

The Political Confusion I'm Spain


The Spanish Cortes was prorogued yes
terday by the King. To-day we announce
the fact that another new Ministry has
been, or is about to be, formed It is
scarcely two weeks since Serrano entered
upon the duties which belong to the Office Of
Prime Minister, 1t was our hope that Serrano,
coming back to Madrid flushed with success
from his campaign against the Carlists would
find himself able to give the young Savoyard
King something like solid support, and, as the
leader of the Spanish people, connect his name
with the Inauguration of new era of Spanish
history. This hope has failed, and Castilian
pride has once more revealed its weakness.
Sagasta has failed; Serrano has failed
and now Gorilla, the despised radical chief,
has been called upon to form Cabinet. In
our news columns will be found the names of
the different Ministers. Their chief chief is not
in the capital, however. Some of the names are
new and some of the names are we'll known
but we cannot say that the new Ministry is at
all likely to be more successful than its imme-
date predecessors. Sagasta is known to us as
the head of the progresista party and it is
notorious that but for the detection of Gorilla
the progressists might now be ruling Spain
and carrying out within reasonable limits their
own plans and purposes. The detection of To-
rilla compelled Sagasta to lean upon the union
lists, but in spite Of the assistance rendered by
the Union party Sagasta found it impossible
to maintain his position. Hence the place
made for Serrano, the recognised chief of the
Union party. 1t was hoped that Serrano
would be able to form a powerful coalition
Ministry and help the young King out of his
troubles by giving Spain, for at least brief
space, strong government. 1t now remains
to be seen what Gorilla can do. If he fails it
will no longer be out Of place to say that
Spain, politically, is in the widest kind of
chaos. 1t does begin to appear as if
no party was willing to serve the
young Savoyard King, and Us if all parties
were disposed to give him the hint that
his plain duty was to retire and to shake the
dust of Spain from his feet Alphonso, the
son of Isabella, is, as we believe, now the ia
vorite, and we shall not be surprised any of
these fine mornings to find that Amadeus has
quietly made his departure, and that under
Alphonso Spain has entered upon q fresh Ca
reer of folly. The Gorilla Ministry is a move
in the direction of the republic; but where the
coalition of parties is found to be so impossi-
BILE the result must be regarded as doubtful in
the extreme. One thing only is certain; it is
this: that Spain, politically, is in the widest
kind Of confusion.

Tho Geneva Conference.

In our news columns this morning will be
found cable dispatches, special to the HERALD,
giving particulars regarding the reassemblage
of the members Of the Geneva Conference,
in the grand old city made memorable by the
life and labors of John CALVIN, and now
associated with the settlement of question
which deeply concerns the future of the
civilized world, but particularly the future of
two great peoples who speak the language of
Shakespeare and Milton, to-day the Con-
ference resumes its sittings. Chief Justice
Cockburn, Lord Tenterden, Messrs. Cushing,
Evarts Bancroft Davis and other members Of
the Conference have arrived, and arrange
ments have been made for q fresh enter
ing upon the work which is largely to influence
the future of the human family. Mr..
Adams has been in Geneva for some weeks,
and there is every reason to believe that the
different representatives will all be in their
places to-day. Special dispatches, dated mid
night, inform us that the Conference, which was
to assemble at noon to-day, may not assem-
BILE until later hour in consequence of
the possible late arrival of some of the mem
bers. 1t may, we think, be safely taken for
granted that nothing of importance will be
done until Monday. 1t will not be possible
for the Conference to-day to do more than open
proceedings. Not, perhaps, until Monday or
Tuesday shall we know whether the Geneva
Conference is to be a source of blessing to the
civilized world, or whether it is to be remem-
bered Us one of the greatest failures of modern
diplomacy. At the time we write the promise
of success is not great but it is still hopeful.
A Queen messenger had arrived in the city
from London bearing dispatches from the
British Cabinet addressed to the arbitrators,
and it is more than probable that these docu-
ments will require very careful consideration
apart from the general body.

cratic ticket at Baltimore. This would throw
bombshell into the camp of those democrats
who are most eager for Greeley's nomination,
and would force them to put forward candi-
date of their own, such as Hendricks, Ham
cock, Pendleton, Seymour, Hoffman, or,
perhaps Dan Voorhees, or Admiral Semmes.
So after all, this parlor gathering, if wisely
managed, may put ON entirely new feature on
the Presidential question and change the
whole character of the contest.

A POWERFUL PARTY IN THE FRENCH PARI1A-

modification of the constitutional REFINE

In the case of Carl Vogt, charged with tho
murder, several months since, of Belgian
nobleman at the latter's villa, near Brussels,
and then, to conceal the homicide and theft of
valuable shares and securities that had belonged
to the murdered man, firing the villa and fee
ing to this country with the proceeds Of his
robbery, an important decision was rendered
yesterday by Judge Curtis, of the Superior
Court. The disposal of some Of these stolen
securities in this city having been traced as
alleged, to Vogt, he was arrested and placed
in the City Prison; but the Grand Jury, before
whom the case was brought, could only indict
him for larceny-the fact of there being no ex-
tradition treaty between Belgium and the
United States preventing our judicial authori-
ties from taking cognizance of the grave
charges of murder and arson preferred against
him. Application for his extradition was made
to Governor Hoffman, and the latter pursuant
to a special statute, issued q warrant directing
his transfer from the custody of the Warden of
the City Prison to some person depu-
tized by the Belgian Consul here
to take him to Belgium for trial.
To prevent this being done writ of habeas
corpus was applied for and granted by Judge
Curtis, and, as will be remembered he heard q
lengthy argument in the case from the
prisoners counsel, the legal representative of
the Belgian government and the Assistant
District Attorney, the first claiming that the
Governors warrant was illegal and the two
latter gentlemen insisting on its legality.

General Grant ON the pre.saauts.s
and Other Questions OF tho Dav.

General Grant ON the Pressaents.n
and Other Questions OF tho Day.
General Grant, having re-established himself
and family in their comfortable summer cot
tage at Long Branch, and HERALD reporter
having had conversation with him on public
affairs we have had the satisfaction of giving
our readers the latest views of the President
on the leading questions Of the day. 1t thus
appears that in reference to the Washington
Treaty he is not disposed to make any further
concessions to save it, for he says, sIt rests
with England to throw overheard the treaty or
TO go on with the arbitration;" that 1--WE will
concede nothing further" that 1--WE have been
willing oil along to concede good deal for
peace, and to establish the peaceful system Of
arbitration;' but that 1--WE will go no further
in this business than we have gone" The
President has no misgivings as to the conse-
quences of the rejection of the treaty; for
then we shall stand just as we did before the
Joint High Commission was called together;
and, in any event. he sees no reason to appre-
bend war. Concurring in these views, and,
considering the fact that with Englands rejec-
ton of the treaty we can choose our own time
and our own way for the settlement of those
Alabama claims, we care very little as to what
Her Majesty's government may do to save or
to kill the treaty.
On Mexican matters and on Spain and the
late Cuban expeditions General Grant does
not throw much additional light. He keeps
well posted, however, in reading up the latest
information on these interesting subjects fur
nished by the HERALD. But in regard to Mr..
Greeley and his prospects in the approaching
National Democratic Convention the General
thinks it ''an even chance Greeley or no
Greeley; that, in other words, the Convention
is as likely to nominate straight-out demo-
crat as Mr.. Greeley; but in the event of the
endorsement of Greeley, then, says General
Grant, eve will know who we are fighting. It
will be an open republican and democratic
battle, and prefer that sort Of fight" And
he thinks that Mr.. Greeley will withdraw If
they do not nominate him at Baltimore, be-
cause all his chances lie at Baltimore and be-
cause he will hardly remain in the field hope
less candidate merely to give the democratic
party better chance for victory.
We have our doubts upon this point. From
all that we can gather from the special organs
Of Mr. Greeley he intends to fight through this
fight as the liberal republican candidate,
whether accepted or rejected by the Democratic
Convention 1t is possible that on the doctrine
of anything to beat Grant he may, as q
third candidate, prefer to give the democratic
party better chance for victory. But as we
discuss this important subject at length in
another article we may dismiss it here. So far
as General Grant is concerned, we hope he
will be gratifed in the sort Of fight he prefers.

ponents Of Greeley were powerless to defeat him
in their own convention, how can they pre-
tend to bring with them more strength than
he can command, for the service of an outside
party? The Fifth Avenue Hotel meeting,
then, should boldly declare in favor of the
nomination at Baltimore of straight-out,
dyed-in-the-wool, uncompromising democrat,
who is known to be sound on their favorite
hobby Of free trade, and should pledge them
selves as boiling republicans to the support Of
such candidate. BY this grand coup Eftat
they can certainly prevent the endorsement of
Greeley at Baltimore, otherwise foregone
conclusion. The democrats dare not reject
their overtures it, as republicans, they declare
that they are willing to go to the democracy
instead of asking the democracy to come to
them. It is more fitting that two or three
hundred thousand men should seek alliance
with three million than that the larger number
should be compelled to merge themselves into
the smaller. 1t was natural that Mohammed
should 60 to the mountain; it would have
been unnatural had the mountain come to Mo-
manned This is the true policy of the six
gallant free traders, if they really desire to
scatter to the wind Greeleys chances of
democratic endorsement by two-third vote.
To be sure it may be necessary that they
should give some proof or guarantee of
strength outside their individual ballots; but
If they can get over this difficulty they should
at once pronounce in favor Of o straight demo-

As the effort of DIR. Sewer is to make the
impression upon the Democracy of East
Tennessee that it was and is the detefmina-
ton of the "Rebel element" ITO utterly ig-
more and repudiate Conservative Union men

alone has made the charge that it was the
purpose of the "Rebel element" ''to utterly

men as an integral part of their political

ry in the step which he has taken, is most
true; but we do not believe that he can
make the impression he desires upon the
conservative Union men. With most of the
Senators it is the belief that Gen. Vaughn
is more indebted for his election to DR.. Sc
