The Movement OF Bullion from Eng
land Tn thu United Statoa.

The Movement OF Bullion from Eng
land to tho United states.
According to the report telegraphed from
London up to six o'clock p NJ. Saturday
there was considerable movement to ship
bullion from England to the United States
The amount withdrawn from the Bank of
England for this purpose on Saturday was not
very large, it is true, being in value only
forty thousand dollars, but we are told
that all the available gold in the street
was being bought up for shipment to
America. The Banks raising of the rate of
discount with view to check the outflow OF
specie had no doubt produced some effect, but
outside of that institution the law of demand
and supply was operating in spite of its pre-
cautionary action. There are business
obligations to meet here to and through
the banking houses connected with Eng
land. Besides, our crops of cotton and
grain are wanted. and if sufficient money can
not be obtained on this side to move them
the means, to some extent, at least, will prob
ably be furnished. Of course in all this great
profits are expected We may have to lose
something through our immediate and press
ing necessities, just as all people in distress
have; but the relief afforded will, nevertheless,
be very acceptable. We would rather take the
specie of England just now than the dry
goods There is at the present day always
tendency between and among nations to
restore the financial and commercial equilib-
rum, so closely do the bonds of commerce
make them and their interests connected

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS IN ENGLAND. We
learn by telegram that there were nine rail-
road accidents on English railways in one
day-that is, on last Friday. Fortunately no
one was killed, though a number of persons
were injured. British press writers open their
eyes with horror whenever railroad accidents
occur in this country, and they comment
ominously on the dangers Of travelling here.
John Bull never fails to see the mote in the
eye of America. Not that we are invulnerable
to comments for our recklessness Of life, OF
that we have not far too many railroad acci-
dents. True, it is to be expected there will be
in the aggregate more accidents on the sixty
thousand miles and more in this country than
on the twenty to thirty thousand miles in
Great Britain; but the point we make is
that our self-satisfed cousins across the At
lantic should look upon the evils at home as
well as abroad.

Bismarck 1t Home.

A HERALD correspondent ably describes in
this mornings issue an evening party At
Prince Bismarck's mansion, where the chief
men of the German Empire were assembled
as guests We have seldom had the good for
tune to present picture of Parliamentary life
in any country revealing SO much that is ele-
waiting, 80 much that is serious. These re-
unions of the cultivated men of the Empire
give fashion, if we can so speak, to the
statesmanship which has made Germany
great and powerful. Unlike the fippant as
semblages that gather around the Premiers OF
minor courts, these evening parties induce the
discussion of the gravest questions-not with
all Parliamentary formula, but in pleasant.
conversational way. The subtle Bismarck is
their parent, and he understands we'll their
importance in giving direction to the makers
of public sentiment. But these social gather
ings of the great do not differ in their
character from those Of lesser individuals in
Germany. If the army be taken as an example
it will be found that the officers never assem-
BILE in cafe to discuss wine and women, but to
talk 'tshop," and it is because the German is
always talking ''shop' that he understands
his business, whether it be in war, diplomacy
or literature. The Latin races are not SO
prone to keep the main chance always in view,
even in the midst of festivity Hence, when
they come in contact with the Teuton, they
despise the minuteness of his learning and the
closeness of his logic, and fly to poetry and
opera boufe. We might in republican America
initiate these German reunions, without their
aristocratic paraphernalia, and perhaps gain
what our official society needs most-culture,
refinement and candor.

he Bomba rdment OF Alicante-Th'
spanish Presidency.

The threatened bombardment of Alicante by
the insurgent iron-clads Mendez Nunez and
Numancia was commenced on Saturday with a
salute Of five hundred projectiles, some of
them charged with' petroleum, under q
return fire from the forts and shore
batteries, which obliged the assailants
to retire disabled. We are gratifed
to record this latter fact, for it indicates that
the power in the hands of the intransigentes
is utterly incapable of offering any permanent
stop to the government The vessels cap
tured by the British from the insurgents and
handed over to the Spanish government are
now, it is said, on their way to the relief of Ali
cante The injury to the latter city is reported to
be very great materially, but if the insurrection
is proved by the result of Saturdays engage
ment to have no far-reaching arms, the sacri-
fee will not be too great for the future safety
of Spain. The neutral attitude of the foreign
vessels Of war present at the bombardment is
amply accounted for by the lead of England
in the matter. Strong as is that power at sea,
their ragged schoolboy seamen at Spanish
throats, the government are not at all
willing to help the Spanish republic. The
want of good grace in the surrender Of
the Vittoria and Almansa to the Republic
makes this pretty evident The desire of the
German commander to prevent the lombard
ment would not, we imagine, receive high
commendation at Berlin if it went SO far as to
bring about an engagement, creditable as it
would have been to German pluck and human
ity, and popular as it must have been, with
the German masses. We believe, however
that the Republic, if properly directed. will
be able to settle with all the insurgent bodies
single handed.
On the reassembling Of the Cortes an cleo
| ton for President of the Republic will take
place, with CASTELAR, and Salmeron as the
most prominent candidates. The energy and
directness which Sehor CASTELAR, has recently
exhibited and the successes he has achieved,
will, we imagine, weigh strongly in his favor,
and it is difficult to see how they can do bet
ter than retain him.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
Utica Observer states that the democrats of
Delaware county have chosen one liberal re-
publican and one democrat to represent them
in the Democratic State Convention, to be held
at Utica on Wednesday next. The democrat
is Colonel John r. Fellows, resident of New
York city, but well known throughout the
State. Is this not introducing the rotten bor-
ough system OF England into our politics
Delaware county instructs its representatives to
urge the adoption of resolution by the Con-
vention providing hereafter for three delegates
from each Assembly district. In Rochester q
similar course was adopted. In these instances
the Democratic State Central Committee re-
ceives rap over the knuckles for limiting the
delegation from each Assembly district to a
single person.

"NAPOLEONIC IDEAS"

To he Editor Of TIE Tribune.
SIR: In The TRIBUNE of the 18th are few
paragraphs under the heading Of &" Anecdotes OF Ma
poleon Ill.," with quotation from his "Eapoleonio
Ideas7 published in 1889. in which he appears to have
anticipated, in part, the destiny" OF the United
states in words as follows:
" Providence has committed 10 the United States OF
America the charge OF peoplng and OF subduing TO
from the Atlantic 20 the Pacific Ocean, and from the
north pole TO the equator" &c.
As matter Of prescience all this may be very WELL
but man. when he had the power to do it, worked
energetcally against the aggrandizement of the
tracted with agent Of Nicaragua to build an Inter
canal through that State to be called the "Cana
Napoleon" etc. After his escape he published, in Lon
don pamphlet in favor OF his enterprise, addressed
mainly to EnglshmeD in which will be discovered the
anmus against the United states which later developed
itself in Mexico. In this pamphlet he says:
France, England, Holland, Russia, and the United
States have commercial interest In establishing
communication between the two oceans; but England
has more than other pO YER political interest In
the execution OF the project. England will see with
pleasure Central America become h0urishing ana pop
ulous estate which will establish balance of power by
creating in Spanish America "a center OF active en-
erpse, powerful enough 10 give rise 10 great feeng
nationality, and TO prevent, by backing Mexico any
further enerOachment from the North, etc., ETC."
Well, England tried 1t on" Central America by seiz
ing the port OF San Juan the Bay Of Fonseca and the
Bay Islands and later L. N b. undertook the labor Of
"damIning the Nile with burushes" 4" In Mexico. We

LET WELL. ENOUGH ALONE.

We present series of documents setting
forth in detail and with great clearness facts
and areuments which conclusively demonstrate
the Objectionable character of the schemes now
pending before Congress for connecting tele-
graph business with the Post-Office Depart
ment. The subject is reviewed at length the
arguments on both sides being given 10y the
Hon. David A. Wells. Much new correspond
ence on these topics with the Western Union
Telegraph Company is for the first time
published: including the telegraph statistics
for 1872, the discussion of the Signal Service,
aad the letters between Mr.. 0rton and the
Hon. Joseph Medill. The proceedings OF the
Committee of Appropriations will be found 10
have elected much that is new on the general
subject; and there issa table showing the
working of Government Telegraphs now
in operation, and exhibiting no gen
eral reduction of rates while expenses
fall behind receipts by more than a
third. To the substantial arguments here
adduced it would seem unnecessary that
word should be added. THE TRIBUNE has
for years steadily opposed all schemes of this
character. Above and beyond all economical
arguments, and dwarfng these, great as they
are, by its Importance, is the danger which
postal telegraphy imports to republican inst-
tutiOns. When the employees of Govern
ment like ours handle and control the news
