The Austrian Arctic Explorations.

The unusual interest which has been ex-
cited in the Arctic discoveries of the Austrian
expedition in the Polar regions shows how
much the world is always disposed to admire
o spirit of adventure. We print elsewhere an
article on the subject from the pen of DR..
Petermann, the celebrated German writer,
giving us narrative Of the results of the ex-
ploration. Scarcely anybody" says the
Doctor, 'could have accomplished greater
things in this line than the Austrian ex-
petition Before. the explorers reached the
scenes of their discoveries they suffered the
most terrible calamity Polar crew could en-
dure, being caught in the ice stream and
driven to and fro in the Siberian Polar sea for
fourteen months by the pack ice, in constant
danger of being crushed to death. The actual
discovery Of the new regions to be hence
forward known as Francis Joseph Land is
only part Of what has been done by the in
trepid Austrians New light has been thrown
upon many scientific problems, and we have
q large amount of new information upon what
nature has in store Tor US in this mysterious
land.
The principal result of the expedition is the
impetus it gives to the spirit of Arctic dis
covery The combined energies of the civil
lied nations seem bent upon solving the prob
lens of the Pole. This is nobler emulation
than in deeds of war and conquest, and
Francis Joseph will win more renown from
the achievements of the modest and intrepid
men who have written his name on the Arctic
Continent than would have come from sue
cessful campaign in the battle field; for
war. Let us rejoice to see the nations in the
great strifes of peace.

The Treasury Report.

General Spinner's report OF the condition
of the national money chest is another repe-
tition of the same straightforward document
we always get from this practical and efficient
officer. He touches the subject OF reduction
OF expenditures and the increase of force in
his office, and thereby gives rise to reAec-
ton az to one reduction in our financial estab.
lishment that might very practically be made.
This is the abolition of the superfuous Office
of Secretary of the Treasury. General Spin
ner is Treasurer, and is the only financial
secretary we need. Our political operations
have split this Office into two unequal parts.
1t had o practical financial side and o
political side Politically the Secretary had
to keep his Office in relation with the policy
of party practically he had to manage the
finances /; and it seems to have been difficult
always to get politician who had in him
honesty and arithmetic enough to be fnan-
cier. So the Treasurer has settled into the
real duties Of the ofice-the financial duties
and the Secretary does the ornamental part
and amuses the politicians. All his duties
might be safely left to the President, who
could deal with collectors and similar func-
tionaries quite as adequately.

and others of equal note. And even whlls
we read the story the wind comes charged
with the bleakness Of winter to remind u
that the hour of extreme suffering is already
at hand.
The appeal from the st. Johns Guild does
not come too soon. It is time for the CHAIR.
tably disposed to be up and doing, and in
order that their efforts may be the more eff.
cient we again urge the importance Of tenn
porary and immediate relief organization,
composed Of such citizens as we have already
suggested for the purpose. It is desirable
that an efficient system should be adopted by
which death and suffering may be averted.
The cooperation of the police in the distribu.
ton Of food to those who are perishing Of
hunger should be sufficient safeguard against
imposition. "True charity has eyes to see a.
well as to weep WITH" it is true but sha
would scarcely use them to search for testi-
monials of years residence before putting
food into the mouth of starving fellow crea-
ture or giving warmth to the freezing limbs OF
helpless child These are the cases with
which charitable citizens will be called upon
to grapple in the approaching season of frost
and snow, and no theories, however pleasant
and useful should divert their attention from
the work.

| does not include Mr.. Fish And so Of other
parts of the country. An administration
composed of statesmen who are looked up to
as political guides in their respective sections
would exert such o moral influence over the
members of Congress from those sections that
it could control the legislation Of Congress on
many questions with almost as much certainty
as the British Ministry does that Of Par
lament
The first duty of President Grant is to dis
miss his Cabinet and appoint new one
consisting OF the great republican leaders
He ought to have Cabinet capable of exert
ing commanding influence over Congress at
its next session. and of advising him wisely
respecting his recommendations to that body,
and with ability enough to secure the success
of the measures which they permit him to
hazard his reputation in advising. If it were
matter of doubt what recommendations he
ought to make to Congress at the next ses-
sion the wise counsels of o new and able
Cabinet would solve the doubt. In the new
circumstances which have arisen the Presi-
dent cannot take step in safety without
more sagacious advice than his present
Cabinet is capable of giving him. He needs
body of counsellors who are in closer con-
tact with the currents Of political life. Presi-
dent Grant has so many times professed his
Difference to the popular will that he will belle
all his professions if he does not now reorgan-
ize his Cabinet in obedience to the public de-
mand. This is the only means by which he
can even partially recover lost confidence
We are aware Of the subterfuges by which
this plain duty will be sought to be evaded.
There is quite catalogue of them, the most
prominent being an attempt to excite popular
interest in Cuba and enlist public enthusiasm
in support Of an aggressive attitude toward
Spain. We warn President Grant that no
such weak device can succeed. If he had
been an honest friend Of the Cubans he has
had opportunities enough to show it. He can
not make newborn zeal for their cause
set-off to the condemnation pronounced on
him by the people. If he will form new
Cabinet the country will listen with respect
and interest to what it advises him to do about
Cuba and on all other subjects. But the peo-
pie will have no further patience with any
thing the present incompetent Cabinet advises
the President to do on any foreign or any
domestic question. The country demands
change, and although the constitution does
not permit change in the Presidency or
change in the Senate, it allows the President
to change his Cabinet at once in obedience to
the will of the people, and all the pressure of
public opinion must be brought to bear on
that cardinal point

A New SPANISH PROBLEM There is a
strange story from Spain to the effect that
Marshal Bazaine has arrived in Madrid for
the purpose of organizing movement in
favor of the return of the son of Isabella to
the throne. 1t is said that the movement will
have the cooperation of Serrano and the
members OF toe Serrano government, and that
in the event OF its success Marshal Bazaine
will have an important command in the
Spanish army. This story is SO Spanish
in its tone that it is plausible. Marshal
Bazaines wife is Of Spanish blood, and
would naturally incline to active interest
in Peninsular affairs. Bazaine can have
career in no country save Spain, even if he
finds one in Spain. But he has great military
capacity, such as no Spaniard has shown

Oriental Blundcrs.

Two of cur contemporaries are having
lively tilt over Chinese and Japanese
affairs, each. it would seem, anxious to
display its minute ignorance. One of
the journals seems never to have heard
of the horrible tortures inflicted on Sir
Henry Parkes and his companions by the
Chinese in 1860, and the other, in crushing
its adversary by an extract from "Appleton's
Cyclopmdla,' falls into an error, which an
examination Of the original authorities
easily accessible-would have enabled it
to avoid. It says:-s'The Cyclopadia'
is perfectly accurate, though not minutely
full, as to the details of this miserable affair.
Mr.. Parkes was tortured by the process of
tying the thumbs behind the back and then
lifting the sufferer upon the tips of his toes.
Mr.. Lock and Mr.. De Norman, who were
with him, as well as several Sikhs of the
expedition, were never definitely heard of
again. but there is reason to fear that their
fate was inexpressibly dreadful. Mr. Braba-
zon, we believe, escaped" Now if, instead of
relying on a cyclop@dia, our contempo-
rary had taken the trouble to read
Lord Elgin's recently published private
'.Diary," or that most interesting little
volume (who that has looked at will
ever forget it?) Mr.. Locks Personal Nara
tive''--he being one of the victims of Chinese
brutality who survived-it would have found
that not only De Norman, Lock and Parkes
were tortured, but that Mr.. Bowlby, Times
correspondent--an unhappy Stanley Of those
days-and Lieutenant Anderson were put to
death by the rack, and that Captain Brabazon
and French priest were beheaded at or near
the Palikao Bridge. The story-we quote it
for the benefit of our neighbors-runs thus:--
'It now only remains" writes Mr. Lock,
'to relate what information he obtained re-
specting the death Of Captain Brabazon and
not government officials agreed in asserting
they were beheaded, for the reason and on the
day already stated. The Chinese authorities de-
MED that they had been put to death, saying
they had died, like the others, from natural
causes. They, however, failed to produce the
bodies, which was an argument in favor Of the
statement of their having been beheaded. The
Russian mission, which had good sources Of
information, was of the opinion that the Gen.
eral commanding the division Of the Chinese
army at the Palikao Bridge had ordered their
execution. This has been since confirmed.
Some months later spot was pointed out by
some Chinese as the place where the bodies
had being buried. On search being made,
besides bones, a piece of CLOTH with red
stripe, and small piece Of silk were found in
the grave. They were sent to England, and
the former was declared to be part of an artil-
/ lery officers trousers, while the latter was
supposed to be part Of q French ecclesias-
tics dress. No skulls were found in tile
/ grave. The HERALD, after all, is the only

The Winters Charities.

The letter Of DR.. John Hall on .sThe
Winters Charities, published in yesterdays
Tribune, and the earnest appeal Of the st.
Johns Guild for aid to enable its members to
continue this winter the useful work they
performed with such gratifying results last
year, will each have its beneficial effect.
Although DR.. Halls admirable suggestions
may smack somewhat Of the late Horace
Greeleys kindly advice to the suppliant for
assistance who had sickly wife and seven
helpless children on his hands and no money
in his pocket-''Go West, my man go
West !'-they cannot fail to produce some
good results among an intelligent people. 1t
is doubtless true that many hundreds of men
who will be unable to obtain employment in
New York this winter might secure at least
comfortable homes and maintenance in re-
turn for their labor in the farming counties of
this and other States that mechanics and
others who cannot get work at full wages
might be more successful If they would
be contented with half the customary
rate of compensation, and that in both
cases the alternative would be better
and more honorable than dependence upon
public charity. Every selt-respecting man
whom this counsel may reach must naturally
indisputable are DR.. Halls propositions in
regard to the evils of chronic pauperism;
the danger OF providing in great city ''the
carcass Of an open and indiscriminating re-
lief" and the prudence of improving the
machinery and enlarging the means Of the
established charities, to which DR.. Hall would
have every case of suffering s'severely left. "
The efforts that have been made to secure CO.
operation among all tie established aid soci-
eties, BY DR.. Hall and his associates, in order
that the work of charity might be more eff
cient and imposition be rendered more diff
cult have always received and will continue
to receive our encouragement and support.
But the appeal from the st. Johns Guild
presents facts which strike the mind with
appalling force; facts which sweep away in.
viting theories as tornado might uproot
and scatter row of nicely arranged trees.
We are told that seventy thou
sand men and women are now
out of employment in the metropolis that
''though the bitterness of extreme cold has
not been added to the torture Of hunger which
racks many of the victims of this unfortunate
condition OF things, still the suffering is
beyond the power Of pen to picture" that
Gin many of the poorer quarters whole fam
lilies are without the barest necessaries of
life !" and that "where sickness exists the
suffering is exaggerated till it becomes almost
insupportablc. This picture is drawn by
hands which expend every dollar they re-
ceive in the actual relief OF the poor, deduct
ing nothing for services or for the cost OF
distribution and ''not taxing any public fund
one cent for salaries or Office rent" Its
fidelity is guaranteed by the names Of those
who answer for the charity and receive con-
tributions on its behalf-such names as

InO O0108S Oh the O8IAhStss
We print this morning special despatch
from Hendaye, small French town on the
Pyreneean frontier of France and Spain,
giving an account Of the attempt of Don
Carlos and his forces to capture Hun. Irun
is Spanish town, just over the river from
Hendaye, and is important as controlling q
seaport on the Bay Of Biscay as well as one
of the principal passes through the Pyrenees
1t is ON the great road between France and
Spain, and its possession by Don Carlos
would be an important element in the cam
paign of the Pretender. But in the effort
PEELED to raise the siege and retire with heavy
loss.
If Spain were well served by her armies there
might now be an end of Carllsm. But the
country is unfortunately cursed with an army
that, under the corrupting influences Of the
later Bourbons, has become military caste,
having few interests in common with the
nation 1t does not so much lack courage as
honesty and patriotism. Like oil privileged
classes corruption has 30 eaten into its vitals
that it cannot understand that its best inter-
est lies in the peace and prosperity OF
Spain. It's trade is war, and for its own ag-
grandizement it will allow o riot to grow into
an insurrection and an insurrection into
civil war, in the selfish hope of profting by
the strife. So ingrained is this spirit that
men willingly risk their lives in campaign
in the hope Of obtaining more rapid promo
ton. Had it not been for the absence of
strict military honor among the Spanish Off
GERS the Carlist insurrection could have been
easily crushed in the beginning But in
order to embarrass the Republic, which threat
ened to disband the army, Spanish officers
winked at the insurrection they pretended to
suppress The same disgraceful state of
affairs continues to-day. In the graphic letter
from our special correspondent, published
recently, we saw how the commandant of an
important fort allowed the Carlsts to pass
their supplies across the frontier under
the very guns of the fortress with
out making the slightest effort to
prevent them. The most noteworthy fact
in this connection is that this conduct,
which must have been notorious, did not ex-
pose the traitor to punishment or even to
reprmand. In almost any other army such
manifest dereliction of duty would be followed
by court martial and a military execution
But in Madrid they seem grateful to the COM
mandant that he does not hand over the fort
to Don Carlos
| In reviewing these circumstances we feel
inclined to think that the government
of Spain is engaged in a political bur-
lesque. Four or five thousand rifemen,
with few mountain howitzers, under the
command of resolute and active officer,
could soon put an end to the contraband
trade in munitions Of war carried on along
the frontier and cut the Carlsts off from all
communication with the outside world But
not one of the military mountebanks who
seized on power in Madrid have either brains
or honesty enough to put on end to the war.
They know that with peace their lease of
power would expire, and SO, like Nero, they
keep fddling while Spain is consumed by
| civil war.

THE ARN1M CoNTRovERsY.-We print else.
where letter addressed to US by Count
rnim-Schlagenthin, the son Of the famous
Count Arnim, denying the story that his
father was in any way concerned in the publi-
cation of Lang's famous pamphlet. The sub
stance of this pamphlet was given the other
day in letter from our Munich correspond
ent, and our readers will remember that il
was rather an e1travagant political specula-
ton than development or disclosure of any
value. The Count also assures US that his
father does not entertain ultramontane views,
and that the story to that effect is an inven-
ton of the official press, intended to injuro
his father.
We have cable despatch announcing tho
rearrest of the Count and his imprisonment
in police station. Prince Bismarck is GER
tainly driving his distinguished antagonist to
extremities, and he will succeed in making
him the most popular man in Germany If he
continues his extraordinary course.
