ciple capable of leading to such calamity must be
wrong one il would only lead, we are assured, to
progress in a circle, and the new philosophy would
end in the old serfdom. The still more iDsurmount-
BILE obstacle to it's success lies in the essential ele
ments OF the human mind Thus far can imagine
the ingenious youth whom Mr.. Disraeli addresses
following him without much difficulty. But what
could they have made of the observation, launched
jauntily INTO space, that our idiosyncracy is not
bounded ~ the planet which we inhabitl The al
luson it afterward explained is to the spiritual
wants of man, and the address ends with neat tes-
tmonial to the usefulness of God IN the universe,
and the practical benefits to be expected from pro-
fesson of religion Rather oddly, the only authority
cited in favor Of Divine Providence is Greek poet,
whose lines Mr.. Dsraeli bas sometimes found a
solace and satisfaction in the perpexites of life,
aud which he now delivers to the students of the
University TO guide their consciences and guard
their lives. G.w.s.

The BILL REPORTED by the Military Com.

The BILL REPORTED by the Military Com
mittee Of the House, amending the Army APP
preparation act for 1870, provides that vacancies
in the staff departments of the army shall
hereafter be filled by details for four years
from the officers of the line after competitive
examination. At the expiration Of four years
staff service the officer may be transferred to
other staff duties, at the end of which he shall
return to regular service in his regiment This
offers the desirable positions in the staff corps
as prizes to be aspired to by merltorious and
capable officers of the line, and promises to
fill the staff corps with men who will honor
the service and the country. A retrench-
ment is also proposed in providing that
after the expiration of the term of present in
cumbents the heads of certain departments
shall not rank higher than colonies. Pro-
vision is made for increasing the efficiency of
the several arms of the service-artillery, cav
airy and infantry-by the detail of chief
charged with the supervision of their condi-
ton. These measures commend themselves
to the appreciation of oil as promising in
:..sSzp~~ess zrz, sxskk-,sr -
creased efficiency for the array, and affording
to merit, IN whatever rank or arm, an oppor-
tunity to win proper recognition and reward.

The Filthy Streets.

The unwelcome visit of the beautiful
snow on Sunday, after we oil thought that our
unfortunate streets had dotted their robe Of
white for the rest of the Winter, brings up
again the vexed question of the Bureau of
Street Cleaning. No one who was obliged
yesterday to navigate foot through those
temporary canals BRANCHING IF from the
main reservoir, Broadway, can have but the
one opinion of the shameful mismanasement
Of this Bureau. Ths snow IS allowed to re-
main intact, or melt just as it fell, without
any interference, worth speaking of, on the
part of those Mulberry street Solons who pro-
fess to know so much about street cleaning.
A few forlorn-loohng men are set to work in
the most prominent parts of Broadway, and
they seem to entertain the same idea of labor
as did Rip Van Wrinkle or Mr.. Skimpole.
There is no earnestness, no management, no
concerted action, and the present Bureau of
Street Cleaning may be set down as incom-
petent and IS Indifferent to the requirements
of duty as any of its predecessors. Pedestrian
ism yesterday was by no means pleasure
or labor Of love. Slush of the vilest de-
scription made the crossings as disagreeable as
possible, if not in some cases impossible.
With the genial thaw as an assistant any
well-organized bureau might have relieved the
hard-taxed citizens of no inconsiderable por-
ton of their sufferings yesterday. Can any
thing be expected from our Reform Legisla-
ture on which to ground hope for clean
streets in the future?

The French Assembly and the Span
ish Republic.

The manifesto of Senior CASTELAR,, the new
Minister of Foreign Affairs in Spain, has
reached Paris and been put in the hands of
President Theirs. 1t is not expected that
there will be any delay on the part of the
French government in recognizing the new
order Of things in Spain. President Theirs
will, in the first instance, at least, acting, of
course, in conjunction with and with the con-
sent of his Ministers, recognize the new gov
eminent There is no good reason known to
us why he should act otherwise, and we may
rest assured that he will no! 60 out Of bis way
for the mere purpose Of making himself
offensive to the infant Republic. Trouble
may come afterwards with the Assembly,
which is not as yet very strongly republican
but that is question for the future. The
divided sentiments of the Assembly are in
Dictated by the fact that the members of the
Moderate Left have declined to sign the
address of congratulation to Spain, which has
been drawn up by the Extreme Left. 1t is
not at all unnatural that the monarchists in
Spain should feel that the promising success
of the Republic in Spain is bad blow to the
cause which they have SO much at heart

The PHILADELPHIA Age expresses its honest
conviction that the Philadelphia "Ring'' is as
corrupt and knavsh as any that ever existed
anywhere; 'the amount Of the thefts and pee
ulations is not as large as in New York, but
they are perpetrated with like audacity and,
thus far, with greater impunity." When
the "City of Brotherly Love- thus confesses
its wickedness what may be expected of cities
that do not make such lofty pretensions TO
sanctimoniousness The Puritan City
may come next.

A Busy Day An Congress.

Busy Day An Congress.
The members of the two houses evidently
resolved 10 save themselves the extra expenses
of an extra session of Congress. As the law
now stands the new Congress which may be
called together ON the 4th of March win not
be convened till the first Monday in December
next For the long intervening recess the
regular appropriation bills. at least. must be
passed. and these, with some other bills
necessary 10 carry on the execution Of the
laws will. it is now supposed. all be worked
through before 'the glorious fourth" OF
March.
In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Morton sub
mitted tho majority report Of his Committee
on the Kansas Senatorial Election case of
Caldwell. closing with the resolution that SEN
ator Caldwell, in his recent election, twas not
duly and legally elected" which is mild
form of expulsion ON account of the briberies
and corruptions in said election, of which he
appears to be proved guilty We infer that
there is no hope for Caldwell; and from the
appearances of the investigation in the case of
his colleague there is no escape for Pomeroy.
The Judgment against Caldwell is softened by
tho Committee on Elections with the remark
that 10 was novice in the business of elect
ing Senators, and was as much sinned against as
shining; but Pomeroy is an old sinner, for
whom even this poor excuse cannot be ad-
mitted.
In the House motion to suspend the rules
and put upon its passage bill authorizing an
additional issue of twenty-five millions of
national bank notes, to be distributed among
the States which have not their just proper
ton, was defeated-yeas 121, nays 73-not
two-thirds in the affirmative From the large
majority, however, in favor of the proposition,
it is probable that the increase will yet be
passed in some shape before the close of this
Congress.
A bill was passed by large majority reim-
bursting to the extent of sixty-fve thousand
dollars the College of William and Mary, in
Virginia, for the destruction of its property

SWITZERLAND AT WAR WITH THE VATICAN. -
The Swiss authorities of State, particularly
the Genevese Cantonal lay powers, have COM
menced their war with the See of Rome in q
very decisive manner Monsignor Mermillod,
Roman Catholic Bishop of Geneva, has been
e1iled from, his diocese and forcibly elected
from the soil Of the Republic by being for
warded to the French frontier under escort.
The Genevese magistracy asserts that the
Bishops claim and exercise of episcopal
functions is an usurpation by the Church of
rights which belong only to the State. The
causes which more directly tended to induce
the crisis-one which may have very important
results-are given in the HERALD.

Tho President's Proposed Tsur Threugh
the Southern states.
We are glad TO learn from Washington that.
directly after his Inauguration for his second
Presidential term, General Grant viii set out
ON an extensive tour Of observation through
the reconstructed Southern States. II Is evil
dent from this that he does not anticipate any
act from tho present Congress providing for
an immediate meeting Of the new Congress.
and that he does not contemplate the call of
an extra session. Assuming that the annual
appropriations necessary TO carry on the gov
eminent will all be passed before the 4th of
March, and that for months 10 come no great
and weighty matters are likely to rise to the
surface requiring tho presence of Congress,
General Grant has considered the opportunity
which will thus be offered . good one for the
contemplated expedition. and has wisely re-
solved to avail himself of il, in order that he
may SEQ and hear for himself in this journey
among the Southern people what are their
wants and grievances. and what line of policy
within his Executive discretion will be best
adapted to secure complete restoration to
the Union and reconciliation with the general
government of tho reconstructed States.
This tour. in this important view, comes
from happy inspiration. The visit Of the
President among the disaHected Southern poll
tical elements, if any yet remain. will be to
them the approach of a flag of truce inviting
parley, and by all parties it will be accepted
as fattering expression Of his desire to re-
store harmony IN the Southern States and mI-
tual confidence between their people and the
national administration, not by coercion, but
by Cancellation. Considering, too, the Southern
results of the late Presidential election, in
which seven of the eleven States of the
late rebellious Confederacy are recorded for
Grant and Wilson-namely, Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi and Arkansas-while Throwing
out Louisiana) only three-Georgia, Texas
and Tennessee the opposition ticket,
we may safely assume that General Grant will
meet with cordial welcome at every point in
his progress from Virginia to New Orleans,
and thence up the river to Memphis, and
thence to Nashville, and the same to the end
Of his journey. The season-the opening of
the Spring in the cotton States and the Spring
work on the Southern plantations-will also
be favorable for this tour Of observation. In
every view we are confident that, in the spirit
of fraternity and good will, it will do more
towards the reconciliation of the South to the
loss of their 'lost cause than all the bills of
coercion that have been passed since the sur
render at Appomattox Court House.

ELECrNG THE PRESIDENT BY THE People
The Detroit Free Press hopes that the late
Presidential election will be the last in which
the counting Of the electoral vote of State
will depend upon the current action of both
houses of Congress. 1t is perhaps too late in
the session to expect any legislation on this
subject by the present Congress, although
Senator Morton's bill, making the President
elective by direct vote, is now before it, but it
is the almost universal desire Of the people, as
expressed through the press, that some action
shall be Immediately taken in the premises.
