igious community, as expressed through their
organs, sincerely felt horror at the crime
committed by young Walworth.


The letter Of Edmund Yates on the Austrian
parade, published in yesterdays HERALD
calls attention to the great distinction be-
tween the American and European armies,
which Is still further illustrated by the
speeches OF General Sherman and Secretary
Belknap at West Point. In a country like
Austria, where standing army of eight hun
dred thousand men is maintained, the drill of
every soldier can be perfected, and on parade
each battalion and regiment in every arm of
the service displayed as parts of nicely ad-
justed machine. This cannot be the case
with us, as we maintain no standing army ex-
cept the small force engaged in Indian fight
ing. Hence we must lock to the oficers-z-the
graduates of West Point-and the military
spirit of the people for proficiency in time of
war. In every war we have had since
the foundation of our Military Academy wo
have had abundant occasion to be proud of
the men it has given to the army. The Secre-
tary of War may well point to the respect that
is paid to the memory of General Candy and
tell the graduating class that each of them will
find it grateful to know that the people will
commend the earnest man wherever he is
found. And General Sherman struck the key
note which should guide every American
officer when he told these young men, just en-
tering upon their military career, that the
soldier should discard all idea of the pursit Of
wealth. There was scarcely an example OF a
West Point graduate being charged with cor
ruption during the war. 1t is this which
has hitherto made our army of officers so
proficient in time of war, and if the simple ad-
vice of the General of the Army is followed
we shall never have occasion to regret that we
have no well-drilled force of nearly million
men as burden upon the people, or to fear
that in case the people are again compelled to
fly to arms they will not have officers to COM
mand them worthy Of the name Of the Ameri-
can soldier.

The NEW SPANISH FEDERAL

The NEW SPANISH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
has added to its programme the separation of
Church and State. Since the downfall Of
Isabella the Second this is the most sensible
piece Of news we have had from Spain 1t
comes TO us, however, as an afterthought. 1t
might be well if it could but we doubt much
whether the new federal Republic can fight
down the Church. Spain experiments too
much. This last does not promise SO much
es perhaps it ought.

will be as powerless in the hands of this aug
mented Territorial lobby as it has shown itself
to be In the grasp of the Credit Mobilier
managers. 1t was recently given out from
Washington that President Grant had ex-
pressed the opinion that the extension of our
frontier southwark would be governed by the
extension of our railway system; but if half
that has been reported OF this Mexican scheme
OF annemtion be true the extension of our
railway system southwark awaits the extension
OF our frontier. We had supposed that Gen
eral Grant had had enough OF annexation in
his St Domingo venture during his first term,
to last him through his second; but if from
many idle rumors we may extract grain of
truth, there is danger that he may be led
astray by this Jack-o lantern Mexican annexa-
ton scheme.
We would warn him against entering upon
any such perilous enterprise. The project is
sufficiently plausible to be dangerous; but it
may be and should be firmly resisted. All that
we really want in territory we have; and all
that We can gain by continued annexa.ions we
can secure by cheaper and safer methods Our
manifest destiny is not the absorption of
the Continent and it's islands and it's diverse
races and languages but the Strengthening,
right and left. of popular ideas and institu-
tions. in view of covering the whole Continent
North and South, with chain of independent
republics, acting as confederation in sup
port Of each other against all disturbing
forces. Our annexations have surely cost us
wars enough, and blood and treasure and po-
litical corruption and general decentralization
enough, to warn us against the continuance of
this manifest destiny of disorganization
and dissolution. Let u.s. at least, labor to Sc
cure the redemption of our national debt and
law and order, and confidence and harmony in
the States and Territories we now possess, be-
fore we proceed to add new elements Of ex-
pense corruption and discord to our existing
party trials and conflicts of factions and races.
Let President Grant be admonished that if
the taxpayers were not prepared for ST.
Domingo they are not yet sufficiently relieved
of their burdens from the war to run the risks
of another slice from Mexico"

England, and, cononed with this fearful at

BILE moistness that overhung the ill-fated
island, were phenomena which historically

Thiors and HIacMahon-The Prospects
OF tho Republic.

OF tho Republic.
One of our news items this morning is to
the effect that President Thiers is likely to
go over to the Left and fight his last fight
openly in the interest of the Republic. This
news, however, must be received with some
caution. In this connection, it is said,
Theirs since his retirement has had frequent
interviews with Gambetta. We can we'll un-
derstand how M. Theirs should be angry with
many of his old friends. For two years he
kept all the factions at bay. He was sus-
pected in the beginning of his day of power
of favoring the House of Orleans he ended
by openly declaring himself in favor Of the
defnitive proclamation of the Republic His
final effort in favor Of the Republic. OF, rather,
in favor of the continuance of his own power,
brought about his downfall. Theirs, no doubt,
meant we'll, but he miscalculated. Since his
retirement he is reported to have said that he
would no more actively take part in French
politics. and for the reason that party govern
ment in France was no longer possibility
We are not disposed however, to think that
NJ Theirs will keep silent longer than is
necessary. 1t was coalition of the Bonapart-
lists, the legitimists and the Orleanists which
brought about his downfall. In spite of this
coalition M. Theirs might still have been in
power had it not been for the detection Of M.
Turget and his republican friends, on whose
votes Theirs confidently counted. If Gam
beta and his friends will come to terms with
Theirs the little man may yet rule the Assem-
bly, and be the strongest man in France.
Much, of course, depends on what the men
now in power mean and on the manner in
which they may seek to carry out their pur-
pose. It is not our opinion that MacMahon
has any intention to play false. It is unde-
niable, however, that the Bonapartists are the
leaders in the monarchical coalition. For
able to do very much as they thought
fit with the conservative majority in
the Assembly On that now famous
night when Theirs was compelled to
succumb to the vote Of the Right it was well
known at Versailles that the Bonapartists had
obtained pledge from their legitmist and
Orleanist friends that the Due d'Aumale
should not be appointed in the place of the
deposed President. MacMahon is a good
man and true, and will, no doubt do his
best to preserve order; but he may find
his task beset with great and serious
difficulties. Should Theirs and Gambetta go
hand in hand the monarchical coalition will
have need to fight hard to win. All things
indicate that by the time France is rid Of the
German invader she will be ready to decide
authoritatively on her own future form of
government. For the present no man can tell
what the decision will be or how much it will
cost

Oriental cream, and infinitely better than the
bestinvisible wig that ever lent glory to virgin
brow. Cases are easily imaginable in which
it would not be so difficult to satisfy minis
terial scruples in regard to the responsibility
of the lovers. There are numerous instances
in which the elder Of the parties, rather than
not get married at all, would be quite willing
to vouch not only his own responsibility, but
that of the other as well. We have little doubt
that the spinster aunt described in 'Pick-
wick" rather than have foregone matrimony
altogether, would have assumed every respon-
sibility that could have been demanded for
the faithless Jingle equally with herself.
To what extent lovers will evade this cruel
Marriage law, and steep their souls in per-
jury rather than relinquish one jot or title
Of connubial sweets, remains, of course
to be seen. But if our lawmakers could
60 one step further and prevent the per-
juries that are daily and daringly and
notoriously being committed at the mar
riage altar to the knowledge and gossip of the
world, and to perpetuation throughout the
whole portion of married life, more would be
done than We have the faintest reason, even in
our most ecstatic visions, to expect When
Isabellas brothers murdered her lover Lo-
renzo we all know how, according to the gentle
legend of Boccacio, SO exquistely spiritualized
by Keats, she buried his remains in pot OF
sweet basil, over which she wept her ravaged
life away. But today Isabella and Lorenzo
seldom fall in love, and when they do Lorenzo
is simply paid his salary and discharged, with
icy civility, and Isabella is led up to the altar
and given to some octogenarian Crnsus, who
promises to love, honor and cherish her. and
whom she promises to love, honor and obey.
And SO the perjury is naturally spoken, and
the biggest lie on earth seals the basest bar
gain ever made meath heaven. 1t is against
perjury like this that we should like to see our
lawmakers lift their hands, if there was the
slightest chance that they could do anything
toward removing it.
