The AaKANsAs WEB, which the Congress
sional subcommittee. now sitting at Little
Rock, are endeavoring to unravel, seems to
grow more intricate with each days session,
the testimony of the witnesses upon either
side being directly contradictory, and leaving
the question as to who perpetrated the eieo-
ton frauds in the same condition OF uncer-
tainty az heretofore. A resolution has been
introduced into the Constitutional Convention
to declare all tho Offices vacant from that OF
Governor to the constable, and this will
probably be found the only practicable sola-
ton Of the question.

TIE KIDNAPPING MANIA. The successful
abduction Of little Charley Ross i'll Phila-
delphia, successful so far on account of the
immunity enjoyed by the inhuman child
stealers, has produced already the inevitable
result, fresh candidates in this new field of
crime case Of this kind occurred in this
city on Saturday afternoon. A beggar the
best disguise for child stealer, presented her
for aims, she took advantage of the occasion
and made of with three-year-old child A
mere accident but fortuitous one, discovered
the stolen child the same evening in
tenement house, whittier the aims solicitor
had conveyed her. The worthessness of the
police of Philadelphia in failing to discover the
Abductors of Charley Ross has undoubtedly
been the means Of inaugurating An era Of
child stealing, which can only be stopped by
stern, swift justice on any perpetrators caught
in the act Three of the persons arrested
there on Sunday on suspicion OF having
some knowledge OF the crime were released
yesterday The detectives seemed plunged
into slough of inanity and stupidity out OF
which they cannot be reused by the strongest
denunciations of the public. Here is good
opportunity for an example which our authorl-
ties should not neglect. A term of years iii
put stop to the nefarous practice.

which the most giaringiy Illegal acts may be
| perpetrated II will be accepted as proof
that the power vested in the Governor to re-
move the Mayor on charges the same
sheriff can be removed. is regarded as fiction
and il never to be acted upon; for if the
reappointment of Gardner and Chariick is to
be justified. aud if the Mayors action is to be
indorsed, the violation Of public official
oath will hereafter be considered triAing
matter.
1t will be we'll for Governor Dix to bear in
mrnd that the charges growing out Of the at
tempt to restore Messrs. Gardner and Char
lick to the Police Commission are not the only
offences of which Mayor Havemeyer il
cused In January last statement of the
public debt was made public by Comptroller
Green, in which it was alleged that warrants
to the amount OF six hundred aud sixty-ive
thousand dollars had been drawn and paid,
when, in fact, such warrants had never been
delivered but we're still in the possession of
the Comptroller, and the money due on them
remained in the city treasury. This false
exhibit made it appear that the public debt
was one million three hundred and thirty
thousand dollars less than its true amount,
and sixty-fve thousand dollars was deducted
from the debt, as if it had been actually de-
creased so much. and the amount remained
also as . credit in the treasury, to be again
deducted from the gross debt. The war
rants thus alleged to have been paid
by the Comptroller prior to December
81. 1873, were not paid until January and
February following, and interest upon them
WAS paid up to the day of final settlement
thus proving that they were actually part and
parcel of the public debt, bearing interest,
long before December 81. The Commission
ers of Accounts, on examining the Comptrol-
lers and Chamberlain accounts, found that
tho debt on December 81, 1873 was six hum
dred aud sixty-fve thousand dollars more than
the Comptroller had represented it to be, And
their report disclosed this TACT Mayor Have
meyer, having obtained possession of this re-
port in violation of law, referred it to the
Comptroller and Chamberlain of whose d9-
partments it was an investigation. AS soon
as it was discovered that the report exposed
Mr. Green's false exhibit of the public debt
the Mayor insisted that it should be altered.
The Commissioners of Accounts at first re-
fused to falsity their report, but were eventu-
ally coerced into the improper act by the
Mayor, under threats of removal in case of re-
| fusal This is one of the charges that yet re-
mains to be made against Mr.. Havemeyer, but
it is to be hoped that the Governor will render
further trouble unnecessary by his action on
| the indictment now under examination,

AFRICAN EXPLORATIONS. interest ex-
cited in the proposed expedition into Africa
under the command OF Mr.. H. NJ. Stanley, and
directed by the London Daily Telegraph and
the HERALD, will be comprehended from an
extract we reprint from the London Times.
Lieutenant Lovett- Cameron, who went out to
succor Livingstone writes that he was at Ujji
in February. This is the point where Living
stone was discovered by Mr.. Stanley. The
information furnished by the Lieutenant is
not of high character. The living ia
good Fish, eggs and milk are cheap. From
all be could hear Livingstone was right in HIS
speculations about the source OF the Nile, and
he means to ''cruise around the lake for .
couple of months" The country between
Unyanyembe and Ujiji, once fertile and pros
porous, has become desolate, lowing to the
depopulation caused by the slave trade" He
reports that Arab traders, mainly those in the
slave interest. threw all manner Of obstacles i9
his way, that all the money be received origi-
nally has been exhausted, and that contn-
button of ten thousand dollars would bring
him home. 1t would not at all surprise us il
Stanley's expedition of discovery were again to
become an expedition Of relief We trust both
expeditions may succeed. Africa has been
opened. and the more light we throw upon It
now the be tier for civilization and humanity.

A Serious Question.

The Utica Herald, alluding to the third term
joke" in these columns, ''but some dull peo-
pie took it tor serious work Harm has been
done by making people familiar with the
thought. Perhaps our namesake now breads
the devil which it meant to play with" It
would be poor compliment to the American
people if bit of pleasantly on the part of the
HERALD should become one of the most
widely discussed subjects that we remem-
Der in our political literature. If the
Utica Herald has any remembrance of the
somewhat celebrated series of articles that
first foreshadowed the controversy that now
excites the country, and the dangers that
threaten repubcanism. it must know that
none more grave and earnest were ever ad-
dressed to the nation. Mr.. Sumner was not
given to jesting on national subjects, and we
recall now the extraordinary impression the
discussion made upon him. He certainly did
not regard it as q newspaper joke.
Without referring especially to the points so
often presented we repeat that the great danger
of possibility of the third term, az it then ap-
peared still exists. That danger consists in
the apathy of earnest republicans, like the
editor OF the Utica Herald, who hesitate to
put the good of the country above the party,
or who, more correctly, only the good of
the country in the success of the party. Gen
eral Grant is to-day the strongest man in
the United States. His party is dominant
IT he chooses to be nominated he can secure
the nomination, aud there is nothing in the
record of Mr. Roberts aud Of his associates 10
prevent their support of that nomination.
This is certainly situation of grave danger.
Il is most assaredly not a newspaper joke.
What should be done is that earnest honest
republicans should declare first that under
no circumstances would they support Gen
raj Grant for a third term; and. sec
ond, that in order to prevent re-
currence OF the present danger the con-
stituton should be so amended that no
President could hold office Tor more than one
term The real danger is in the vast power
that has been allowed to crystalline around the
Presidency and the Senate. Diminish this
power, make the Presidency an office more
of honor than authority, limit the func-
tions OF the Senate, and this problem will be
solved. The obstacle to its solution Is the
strength OF Grant and the terror he has In
spired IN the minds of cautions men like Mr.
Roberts.

The American Card inai.


Our learned and ingenious correspondent,
"Prudentius," in letter addressed to us on
Sunday, gave concise history of the relations
of the Pope toward the Sacred College. ''Prn-
dentius' shows how custom has dictated the
appointment of cardinals, and that the pope
must follow ''the teachings of traditional wis
dom" In some instances he says, Popes
have been guided by their own knowledge of
persons to be honored, and in other instances
by what is due to sovereigns aud nations. In
one OF these classes we have cardinals like
Wiseman and Cullen. ''men of eminent learn
ing and ripe virtue :" in the other cardinals
like Bonaparte and Hohenlohe, appointed to
secure or to keep the support and co-opera-
ton OF governments. The reason why the
United States do not come within either of
these classes il that America is new country,
that Congress ia too mean to send an ambassa-
dor to the Pope, and that other considerations
prevent the honor being awarded to an Ameri-
can prelate Of 'seminent learning and ripe
virtue" as it has been awarded to Wiseman
and Cullen.
There is one point that our learned cor
respondent overlooks, and that is the declara-
ton recently made by His Holiness that in no
country is he 80 much Pope as i'll America;
for here he can say and print what he pleases.
If, then, America has given the Pontiff the
highest measure of freedom he enjoys in the
Christian world, is it too little to expect that
in the distribution OF the supreme honors of
the Church he should forget the Catholic
fold in the United States? If tradition and
custom do not show him how this is to be
done, may we not hope that he will find in the
attributes of intallibility, with which he has
so recently been clothed, q means of seeing
how it can be done? The Papacy is now pass
ing through sore trials 1t has depended for
centuries upon the support of the kings? And
now the kings abandon it. Has the time not
come for it to rest upon the people. and how
better make this alliance than to pay the COM
pliment OF a cardinaate to the United States
For we agree with 'Prudentius" that ''when-
| ever PrOvdential circumstances will allow the
present Pope or his successors to reward dis
| tinguished merit in the New World by eleva-
ton to this sacred dignity, they shall fud in
| South America prelates kindred in soul to the
martyred Mosquera and III the North men
who can be worthy heirs in station and merit
of the CAROLS and the Englands, the Chevrer-
uses, the Kenricks aud the Hugheses just as
across the Canadian frontier mea shall not fail
to grace with equal learning and piety, the
ancient see of Montm morency-Laval"

Floods In Pennsylvania and in Europe.

Floods In Pennsylvania and in Europe.
Water has not yet exhausted its power for
evil in this country at this time, as will be
seen by our account of the food at Pittsburg
and Allegheny City, Pa, on Sunday evening,
by which nearly two hundred lives were lost
aud property to the value OF thousands
of dollars swept away. While the people

dren-hnrried to destruction in moment.
We also receive by cable particulars of ter
rible storm in Morasia, by which many houses
were demolished and but few of the inhabi-
tants escaped with their lives Can it be that

such an extent that such unwarrantable tears

The PHLADELpHIA LedQs,, journal famous
for its extreme caution and conservatism in
expressing an opinion, asks in reference to
Mr.. Beecher's celebrated letter in reference to
death being far sweeter than any friend he had
in the world" this question Can it be i'm
agined that any man would write those words
OF intense anxiety, remorse and despair for no
other reason than because he was sorry he had
meddled in family dispute?" To this ques-
ton it properly answers that only unbounded
faith in the man or infatuated creduhty
would believe SO.

TARDY HoSogs The Springfield Republican
makes a uote OF the fact that Governor Talbot
has offered to Wendell Phillips the position Of
Commissioner in Lunacy, and remarks that
this is the first time that any appointment has
been offered to this great citizen. by either the
State or national government, ~ - fact not
wholly creditabIe to the appointing power" II
does seem strange that Common wealth which
makes merit OF its disposition TO summon all
men of merit into it's service should have
allowed Wendell Phillips 10 grow from man
hood into age without the slightest recogni-
ton Of his eminence. We presume no one is
less disappointed at this fact thau Mr.. Phillips
He began life as an iconoclast, aud we are
never disposed to honor in our generation the
meu who have destroyed our idols, Their

all there is no higher reward for duty than
tho consciousness Of duty well done, and this
comfort will attend Mr.. Philips when he

chusetts. In the meantime We bope he viii

Mr.. Beecher might have known, had he
been man Of affairs, and certainly ANY
Tombs lawyer could have told him, q din.
Guilty that began with threat Of blackmAil
and which had loaded pistol as an incident.
oould only have had one result. So tho
covenant was broken to the winds, and MIR.
Beecher himself was again addressed ON
the subject Of money by one of Tilton's
intimate friends. II is proper to know that
Mr. 11lton as soon as he learned that money
had been demanded and refused, wrote an in
dgnant note denying that he would accept
money from his enemy. But he has never
held the act Of this friend inconsistent with
friendship. and we have no reason to doubt
that Mr. Carpenter might have been the
author OF covenant as eloquent as that in
spired by Mr.. Wilkeson. had Mr.. Cleveland, an
Mr.. Beechers representative, been more con-
cIliatory IN his manner 1t may be that this
inference does Mr.. Tilton injustice, that at no
period of this controversy had he desire to
make money. But he would probably also
say that the letter addressed to Mr. Beecher,
demanding his retirement from the pulpit, VIVA
not blackmail, and that he did not write
another letter To Mr.. Bowen threatening ex-
posures, saying he would print it unless his
claim was paid In dealing with Plymouth
church and it's representative saints, lika
Beecher and Bowen. Tilton and Moulton, ws
are constantly surprised at the view holy men,
blessed with the drippings OF the Brooklyn
sanctuary, take of affairs and circumstances
about which the world long since has made
up its mind. What was needed at the outset
of the whole proceeding was policeman.

TIE INDIAN TROUBLES. The Indians in
Wyoming Territory are in the habit of attack

The E'reneh Assem- bly,.

Adjournment or dissolution is the question
of the hour at Versailles. The exciting scene
which took place in the French Assembly
yesterday indicates that the subject has become
one of intense interest to the nation. The
movement for recess is likely to prevail as q
party compromise. but of this there can be no
certainty until after the conclusion OF the de-
instant. In one respect adjournment would
be the wisest course to follow. 1t would
give the country time to think aud make
up i1 mind. 1t would be benefit to the
members Of Assembly quite as much as it
would be to the country at large. They
need repose and leisure for reflection. II
might be q gain to President MacMahon
himself. The fury of debate aud the irritation
produced by conflicting sentiment cannot but
worry him. In the interval, before reas-
have time to find out their strength. On the
other hand it must be admitted that France is
impatient and that long waiting has made her
weary and anxious for the end. Something
decisive is wanted, and recess before dis
solution, which must come rs soon as the re-
cess is ended, will only prolong the uncer-
tainty The great fight must be fought at the
ballot box, and when all ranks and classes of
the people are anxious for the fray it is ques-
tionable whether delay is desirable. If the
people desire republic they and they alone
have the right to say so. If they are in favor
of the monarchy or the empire the ballot box
must be allowed to tell. The time has come
when the people must be allowed to speak.
