The American Scandal ut Vienna.
President Grant, on his return TO Washing
ton this week, will, tits believed. appoint the
the successor of General Van Buren,, the
present Chief Commissioner of the United
States at the Vienna Exposition. Whether the
charges of corruption have been proved
against the present Commission or not the
removal of General Van Buren, will be amply
justified The suspension Of the accused
from their official functions while resting
under 30 grave q charge was q proceeding to
which they should, even if innocent have
cheerfully submitted. The contumaciousness
which they exhibited in refusing to surrender
the plans and allotments of exhibitors space
to their successors was objectionable. Every
obstacle they could create was thrown
in the way of the new Commission,
and the confusion of the American
Department on the day of the opening was one
of the disgraceful results. The question on
which the suspension was first ordered must
not be lost sight Of. The charges of corrup-
ton are direct, and the variety of meanness
which they signalize is very startling. We
can afford to listen to the adverse criticisms
of foreign nations upon our institutions while
we are able and willing to correct abuses. 1t
is, therefore, necessary that the investigation
into the alleged delinquencies of our Commits
sioners should be thorough and searching. If
they are brought home to the suspended Com
missioners we should be glad to see full pun
ishment melted out to those who have attempted
to disgrace America before the eyes of the
world

American Congratulate
1T Madrid.

Presenting American Congratulations
at Madrid.
Our special despatch from Madrid gives an
NAL with which the resolution of Congress,
congratulating the Spanish Republic on the
abolition of slavery in Porto Rico, was pre-
scented by the American Minister to President
Figueras. In presenting the resolution Gen
eral Sickles made series of feicitous allu-
Porto Rico, and, although he does not appear
to have explicitly urged the like policy for
Cuba, he limited at it. The Presidents reply
was naturally full of kindly allusion to the
friendly recognition of the United States.
Its undertone is the expressed resolve
of preserving the integrity of the
Spanish Republic in all its territory.
Until, however, the Spanish Republic takes the
decisive step of abolishing slavery in Cuba, it
will be exceedingly difficult to judge what are
the prospects of Spanish rule there. It is the
only chance that at present remains of deal
ing the Cuban rebellion a staggering blow.
Fighting desultory battles with the insurgents
at ruinous cost and on atrocious, inhuman
principles, will never accomplish more than
we at present see in the condition of affairs
there. Imprisoning o commissioner of the
HERALD, whose offence is trusting in Spanish
honor and being able to tell the truth, will
certainly not put the rebellion down any more
than it has prevented Mr.. OKelly from
describing the strength and resolve of the
insurgent leaders. The success Of the expert
ment in Porto Rico may give the Spanish
government sufficient confidence to try eman-
cipation as a curative agency in Cuba; but
until they make the essay their prospects in
the Antilles will not be frightened. The
name of q republic is not enough to inspire
confidence anywhere in these days Of incre-
dulity.

THE CzAB AND THE KAIsER-WHAr CAN IT
AL MEAN?-The splendid and imposing hos
pitalities showered upon the Kaiser William
by the Emperor Alexander at ST. Peters,
burg fully equal, if they do not surpass, the
pageants and festivities of last year at Berlin, in
honor of 'the meeting Of the three Emperors.
Bp,Xhat does it all mean9 There were some
very imposing imperial demonstrations of
brotherly love at Paris in 1867, between Louis
Napoleon and King William and yet in 1870,
while Paris was being starved into capitula-
ton, the French Emperor had become pris-
oner of war of the Prussian King. 1t may be
that these imperial reciprocities Of brotherly
admiration and affection mean peace but
high authority has said, put not your trust
in princes !" and this entente cordiale between
Berlin and St Petersburg may prove as hol-
low as that between England and France on
the famous "Field of the Cloth of Gold. :"

TIE ROCK RIVER, ILLINOIS, D1sAsrEa.-The
terrible loss of life we record this morning as
having occurred yesterday afternoon in Rock
River, Illinois, during the occasion Of the cere-
mony Of immersion, according to the Baptist
ritual, is another of the awful lessons on the
uncertainty Of life and the unforeseen
perils that beset every days existence.
It can be readily imagined how utterly
panic-stricken the bystanders on the river
bank must have become at the appalling sight
Of several hundred persons, mostly women.
suddenly plunged into the stream amid crash
ing imbers and piercing shrieks Of terror.
Many homes have been made desolate by this
great calamity; and the painful reflection
comes from the statement Of the dispatches
that all this misery might have been avoided
had the builders Of the bridge honestly con-
structed it

''WEIL, WHAT ARE You Conc To Do
ABOUT Irp" were the words of defiance of the
chief Of the old Tammany Ring when his ex-
traordinary appropriations Of the public money
were brought to light. This man was in the
monopoly Of our city affairs at that day, but
where is he now? The Atlantic cable mo-
nopoly in reference to the outrageous increases
Of their charges, are now in the same con-
tempt of public opinion, asking the same
question, and they, too, when they least ex-
pect it. may get similar answer to their folly.

The Darfsn Snip Canal No Lan4er G
Dream.


From the inception Of the explanations sfnHs
ing at the union of the Pacific and Atlantic
oceans by means Of o ship canal the HEHAIu
has kept the world posted on all that has beam
accomplished. We Published the amphasa
details of the first expedition of Captains
Selfridge, and to-day we are happy to by
before our readers the results of the
second and last, with the satisfac-
tory announcement that the end has
been reached, and that the Darien
Ship Canal remains no longer q question Of
perplexity. In the interesting correspondence.
which will be found on another page, rela-
tive to the expedition, its travels and ex-
periences, the statement is given that tina
entire length Of the proposed canal has
been reduced by this latest exploration to
twenty-eight miles, the length Of the tunnel to
about three miles and the estimated cost of the
work to less than seventy millions of dollars.
Captain Selfridge found the Atrato "a mag
nidsent river, and, at distance of $50 miles
from its mouth, capable Of floating the heaviest
ships even at its lowest stage" In its course
this river comes within few miles of the Pa
cific coast, and the object Of the expedition
was to find that point most available for the
construction of canal which should carry
forward communication from the river
to the Pacific Ocean This was done.
There was great labor in the work, and Cap
tain Selfridge and his officers are deserving Of
the highest credit for their skill and devotion.
This canal must and will be built. The COM
MERGE of the world demands it with more
imperative voice than it did the opening Of
the Suez Canal The latter cost one hundred
millions Of dollars. The Darien Canal will
cost thirty millions less and prove q far more
profitable investment The history of the Last
and final expedition will be eagerly read, and
the only matter Of regret connected with it is
the loss, by drowning, Of brave and skilful
officer among the exploring party.

AC Challenge.

Last week we said that
Judge Thurman made but one
speech in the Senate on the
subject Of the salary grab, and
that was not in opposition to
the bill, but to ridicule the
speech of a Republican who
had just spoken against it.
This is a statement which has
been disputed by those Demo-
Gratis who work in secret. Ii
wouldn't do for them to deny
it publicly. Now, to establish
its truth, we hereby challenge
the Democratic Central Com
mittee of Vlnton county to
prove by the official record
that such is not the fact, and
for that purpose we hereby
agree, on presentation of the
official record of any other
speech than that referred to
above, on the subject of in
creased salaries, to publish it
in our columns as evidence
that we were mistaken.

votes, again he is not fit for
the position to which he as
pireS.
But to return to the salary
business. There is much being
said and written on this subject
by the press and speakers of
both political parties which is
advanced merely to catch
votes, and this controversy with
Mr. Neal is of that class OF stuff.
1t was gotten up by thin. headed
individuals who think they are
smart enough to fool the peo-
pie. For ourselves we are dis
gusted with their professions
Of excessive virtue. We entire
ly disapprove Of the new salary
law in all its features-back
pay, present pay and future
pay; but while it is a law Mr.
Neal and every other Congress
man has both a legal and a
moral right to the benefit OF its
provisions. MIR. Meals says, and
we have no doubt he will make
his words good, that he will
work for its repeal. If he does
that honestly and faithfully on
the assembly of Congress it is
all his constituents can reson-
ably ask OF him. When he fails
to do that, he may properly be
arraigned as a salary grabber,
and it will be by his action in
Congress that he will get his
proper credit. In the mean
time, We do not object to him
drawing his salary, for whether
he draws it now or not, the re.
peal law when passed will in all
probability be retroactive, fix
the salary for this and future
Congresses, and at any rate
Mr.. Neal will not get any more
in the end than the law allows,
nor more than any fellow-mem-
Der will finally get, whether he
draws it now or at the end oil
the year. 1t was a put up job
on Neal in the first place, and
We are glad to say that the
Democrats of this county gen.
orally, as Tar as we have been
able to learn from them by
extended conversations, see
through and despise the trick
and repudiate the trickster, for
know all men that they and
their Central Committee deny
that the letter of Mr.. Bowen,
was ever authorized by any
acIlon of the committee. In
deed they claim that the first
intimation they ever had of the
matter was from its pu blication
In the Record. Such being the
case, what we blame the com
mite for, is for not making an
apology to Mr.. Neal as public
as was the insult offered in
their name by Mr.. Bowen. By
failing to do SO, they show
that while they profess to de.
spise the trick, they are will
ing to profit by it.

The ring are actively at work
for Lyle, using as an argument
that the question is not Bay or
Lyle for Representative, but
who will we have for United
States Senator Thurman or
some Republican. Itis a sorry
state of affairs. for their candL
date when they are compelled
10 concede the better qualif.
cations of his opponent, and
run him on the qualifications Of
some other man, as if all a Rep
resentative has to do is to vote
for a United States Senator,
The people OF this county can
well bear the burdens which
either the defeat or election Of
Judge Thurman will bring
much easier than they can bear
the burdens which are likely
toll brought upon them by the
blunders OF such legislators as
the candidate presented by the
ring. But the argument Of the
ring for their candidate is with,
out foundation IN fact. The
election of a United States
Senator will not depend on the
vote of a member from Vinton,
1t is pretty generally conceded
that Hamilton county with its
13 members will decide that
matter. Vote TOR Bay. You
have expressed yourselves free.
