vIcToR EMMANUEL FROM THE Throne
''Order and safety" Victor Emmanuel told the
Italian Parliament yesterday, were the two
indispensable conditions of industry and prog
ress. He thought that Rome might become
the capital without encroaching upon the in
dependence Of the Pope or the exercise of
the spiritual functions and relations of the
Catholic world. He would respect the Pope's
religious sentiments and liberty, but be would
not permit attacks on the nation and her in
sntuuons. We are inclined to the belief that
the Italian government has been unneces-
sarily harsh oftentimes in dealing with the
Papal question, and has hastily and often
unjustly disposed Of questions. and in a
manner calculated to produce bitterness which
might have been avoided by more prudential
policy. But, taken all in all, Italy is rising
star, and her King may be proud Of his life
time's work,

The FRENCH ASSEMBLY ON THE PREsrDEN-
1TAL TERM OF OFFICE The Prolongation
Committee Of the French Assembly has re-
ported to the legislative body on the subject
which was referred for its consideration, the
propriety of prolonging President Mac
Mahon's term Of Office, and the period of time
to which it should be extended, five or ten
years. The sitting Of the Assembly yesterday
was excited during the early part of the day,
and an adjournment to the evening was voted
amid scene which approached very nearly to
tumult The committee appears to have been
cautious in its consideration of the case and
conservative in its resolve and expression.
The report, which was presented at the even
ing session, goes to show that a prolonged
personal Presidency, in the absence of organic
laws, assumes the appearance of disguised
dictatorship. 1t conjures the French con-
servatives to help in founding the Republic,
now that the monarchist schemes have
failed, and concludes with the assertion that
lit is impossible TO grant President MacMahon
more than five years power" The report
will come up for Assembly debate on Monday.
Paris remains excited in the meantime. and
the intervening moments will be moments Of
vast importance to the French nation.

THE HERALD AND ITS ENTERPRISES.
From the Concord On. G., sun |


Mr.. Bennett proposes to fl out an expedition to
discover the North Pole. Having large means At
his command, and possessed with indomitabie
pluck and energy, whatever he takes in hand he
rarely falls TO accomplish. His effort and final sue
cess in the discovery OF Dr. Livingstone are ample
proof that whatever his hands find to do he does t
with his might. As journal the HERALD stands
pre-eminent perfect giant among It's contcmpc-
raries, with i've reliable correspondents every

Tho Harlem Explosion.

Every one who has the slightest familiarity
with the history of accidents throughout the
past year will join with US in the profound
hope that this latest calamity at Harlem will
not be classed among those which led to no
good result No one who has average intelli-
gence and humanity will fail to wish that the
party ultimately responsible will be found.
and that punishment adequate to his
crime will be inflicted. One or two i'm
portant developments have already taken
place. Among these is the arrest of one of
the contractors, and the probability Of the fact
that regularly licensed engineer, some days
before the explosion occurred, called the
attention of responsible party to the equivo-
cal condition Of the boiler. Such accidents
are sins against humanity quite as enormous,
just as worthy OF punishment as any Of the
offences forbidden in the Decalogue. They
are crimes growing out of the venaity Of
men whose indifference to the calls
of natural feeling renders them un-
worthy to be placed in the category
Of humanity. If fearless and impartial
investigation is not made, if heavy punish
ment is not permitted to fall, no matter whom
it may strike, these accidents will go on re-
peating themselves until some general and
vast calamity shall wrench society to its lowest
bottom and the law is remedied as with the
throes Of convulsion. The material from
which such offences are manufactured does
not abound along the upper section Of Fourth
avenue alone It would be difficult not to
mention quarter Of the city which some time
during the past twelvemonth might not easily
have become the scene Of just such an out
rage. If steam threatens to kill its thousands,
nitro-glycerine threatens to kill it's tens Of
thousands, The perils from blasting are
numerous and frequent and passengers in
more than one line Of cars give authentic
accounts Of showers Of stones and heavy
masses Of earth, caused by criminally con-
Quoted processes in blasting, and spreading
terror, confusion, and not unfrequently acci-
dent and death. We repeat that unless severe
punishment is inflicted in the proper quarter
there will soon be scarcely such thing as the
probability Of mans leaving his house in
the morning and returning alive or un-
wounded

The SHIPPING Act AND THE SEAMHN-
sailors made their demonstration yesterday,
with the intention Of strengthening by show
Of numbers their application to Congress for
repeal OF the Shipping act The procession
was a fair one and while it may have con-
tained many who have an improper interest
in the proposed repeal and who are not such
good friends of poor Jack as they profess to
be, there were no doubt some sailors in the
ranks who feel the oppressive character Of
certain of the provisions of the law. 1t is
unfortunate that an act, which is designed to
be protection to the sailor from the harpies
who are always ready to prey upon him,
should in some of its provisions, or in its
practical operation, infict hardships upon the
class 1t is meant to serve. The sailors have
too long been the victims Of unlicensed
ruffians; they should not be subjected now
10 official oppression. The present law should
be amended so az to remove its Objectionable
features; but its repeal would leave the sea-
men without any protection, subject to the
notorious rascAlity of the worst ruffans in the
city

to the nation from the insult to its

reach, is, we believe, in the hands Of
Congress by the law, but we have laid down
clearly what the Executive is competent to

left out of mind the fact that the sympathy
Of civilization is with us in all we may do to

LET Us HAVE PEACE "A short time ago the
particulars Of an outrage alleged to have been
committed by negroes in Grant parish, La,
were published in the press, but it was hoped
that the statement was hoax. The details
were too revolving for belief and the whole
story was denied by the so-called government
Of the State. We now have the sequel in a
few lines from New Orleans Seven OF the
nine negroes who were implicated in the
outrage have been killed by citizens SO the

male Teachers = Less Wages for
Equal Work.
Female

| Last Wednesday afternoon, at meeting of
the Board Of Education. the report of the
Special Committee on Salaries and Economy
was presented, discussed and adopted 1t
presents one or two very extraordinary fea-
tures After fixing the maximum annual
salary of the male principals Of grammar
schools at $4,000, of male vice-principals at
So, 500, Of male first assistants at So, 900, and
Of other male assistants at 81, 900, the report
provides that the maximum salary of female
principals shall be $4,000; of female vice-prin-
cipals, S1,500; of female first assistants (if
instructing classes Of particular grade),
81, 200, and of other female assistants, an
amount ranging from $500 to $500. Now
this plan may be economical, but it is certainly
not consonant with wisdom or humanity. 1t
outrages common sense, we might also say
common decency. We defy any logic to prove
that two persons performing equal amounts of
equally important work ought to be paid un-
equally because there happens to be between
them difference Of sex. One Of the mem
bers of the Board, Mr.. Jenkins, indeed said
that anybody with fair salary can always work
better than one with bad salary; and, while
asserting to the general truth Of this propo-
sition, we beg leave to endorse it with peculiar
heartiness if by it Mr.. Jenkins meant to
imply that our female school teachers would
work better if they were paid as well as male
teachers The amazing injustice Of the pres
| ent arrangement is SO patent that to discuss
| it would seem waste of words, were it not
| for the fact greater amount of pigheadedness
obtains in boards Of education than in almost
any other public bodies upon which functions
| equally valuable devolve. We are making a
very moderate statement of the case when we
claim that the ability of our female teachers,
as a class, is quite equal to that of our male
The quick intuitions, the acute sensibility, the
tenderer conscientiousness, and the sweeter
and more magnetic moral suasion that con-
tribute to constitute the influence Of a good
and intelligent woman (and we have reason to
believe that the majority of our female teachers
are made of this materially are often particu-
larly happy in the results they accomplish on
pupils, both girls and boys. In these respects
the female teacher often has the superiority.
Let her, then, be at least equally well paid
with the male instructors. That is her right
as incontestble as that of life and happiness.

The Panic, the Opor. and the Theatres.

The Panic, the Opera and the Theatres.
He who when the year is concluded, under
takes the task of summarizing its peculiar
cerned, will not find that the influence Of the
panic has been as disastrously felt in these
quarters as he would at first be disposed to
imagine. Doubtless there have been some poor
houses, and possibly the lowering of the prices
at most of the places Of public amusement
has not been quite SO generously responded to
as sanguine managers hoped. But the fact
remains that as a rule the theatres have not
done badly during the last few weeks. The
people who complained of tight times and
high prices could not forget that man was
made not only to grumble, but also to be
amused, and that the theatre offered one of
the cheapest and least Objectionable means.
The same assertions can be made with equal
truth in regard to the opera. When the
heavy shadows Of the financial cloud
were first felt there we're those who
predicted total collapse for both
of the impresarii. The tactics pursued by
these rival managers differed widely. The
one adopted sort of guerilla warfare, pop-
ping down upon us at unexpected times and
places, and suddenly breaking out again when
everybody thought he had permanently with
drawn The other is now ambling not un-
prosperously through the last evenings of his
ten weeks season, wisely reserving the best
things until the last We are glad that ad-
versity has not swamped either enterprise
not because we are disposed to sympathize
sentimentally with individual successes, but
because the preservation Of the prosperity
proves that the cloud is not so dark as the
Jeremiahs foretold. Even while we write
news comes to us Of the opening Of two new
theatres-that of Mr. Daily at Twenty-eichth
street and Broadway, and that of Mr.. William
Stuart at Broadway and Twenty second street
The public's intimate experience of both these
gentlemen, and Of Mr.. Boucicault, who is to
be Mr.. Stuarts coadjutor, renders it unnec-
essary for us to allude in detail to the policy
to be pursued by each. All we can add is
that the encouragement already given to the
theatres and operas during q season of
financial depression warrants the expectation
that neither Of these enterprises will be
near or q remote failure.
