/ THE LATE SToRa.--Pfobs prediction of q
storm in the East on Rridzy was verified.
kilograms received indicate that theratnfal
was unprecedented. In Connecticut the
storm was without q parallel for years. AT
Norwich. in that State the rainfall was
twelve inches since Friday night, and the
rivers were much swollen. Boston also had
heavier rainfall than for years, and there.
were occasional showers Sunday, when 1t
began to clear up nearly every where. In
New York and Brooklyn and vicinity heavy
norihcrlY gale accompanied the rain Of Fri
day and Saturday, stripping trees and doing
other slight damage. The storm was heavy
on the Connecticut and Long Island shores.
Considerable damage was done in Phlla.
delphia aud vicinity on Saturday night. ku-
merous culverts burst and large empty gas
ometer of half million cubic feet capacity
was crushed in and wrecked. Streets were
washed, and o wagon. containing Harry
Steele. aged fourteen years, and Edward
Sherrad, aged thrtv-fve, while on the bridge
over Wingbocken creek. Germantown, was,
with the bridge, washed away. Both per-
sons, With the horse, were drowned, and the
wagon broken.
In Baltimore the rain which began Friday
night held up about moor Saturday, but re-
commenced at night with .redoubled vlo-
lence. leaving Sunday clear and cool, with
clean streets. At 4:3T P. d.
Sunday there were only light rain at Bos-
ton, New London, and Eastport, with clear
ing weather at New York, Philadelphia, and
Long Branch. No material damage was done |
at any point heard from.
Long Branch, August GA storm ragged |
fearful!y all night, doing considerable dsm-
age along the shore. All the Indian squat
ters' tents on the beach were blown into the |
sea and the inmates were compelled to seek |
shelter in the hotels. A ful-rigged bark |
went ashore near Seabright. Several tug
boats have gone to her assistance.

reconstruct the South. He has two opportu-
mites that are certainly golden. He can in
duce the calling of q national convention OF
peace and reconstruction. He can influence
an amendment to the constitution limiting
the Presidency to one term. Let him do this
in his next message to Congress- 1t will be his
last response to Cesarism, and it will certainly
not be ''beneath his dignity" for he will be
following the examples of Washington, Jeffer-
son and jackson.
We are far from saying or believing that
any ''new departure" will enable the republi-
cans to return to power in 1876. Our impress
sion is that the decision expressed by the
country at the polls is too emphatic to be
reversed; that it means q democratic Presi-
dent in 1876; that it repeats what was written
on the wall: 'God hath numbered thy king
dom and finished it''-'sthou art weighed in
the balances and found wanting" But at
the same time, we do not see that the repub-
ican case is absolutely hopeless. The demo-
Gratis must remember that nothing is SO
easily lost as q victory. Our experience Of
the democrats since the war began leads US to
fear the return of the Bourbons to power. If
the counsels of men like Mr.. Tilden are to be
overruled, and if we are to have an ascendancy
of influences like those which nominated Sey-
mour and Blair; if we are to have the wild
notions on finance which are represented by
the Cincinnati Enquirer; if we are to see
restoration of the old secession feeling in the
South, under some madman like Toombs if
there is to be any interference with the amend
ments to the constitution resulting from the
war; if, in fine, the democracy go into power
not to reform the government, but to pull
down all the war has built up, then there will
be as much of reaction in 1876 as there was
in 1864 after the defeats of 1862.
What the country expects from the demo-
Gratis is the utmost wisdom and circumspec-
ton. 1t must begin here in New York. Mr..
Tilden is now the titular and responsible
leader of the democracy. Let him give us re-
form in our New York civil service. Let him
put his foot on "bosom friendships" in Office.
Let him secure an amendment to the consti-
tuition limiting the Presidency to one term.
Let HIM rebuke every effort at repudiation and
secession. Let him inculcate upon his party
conservatism and temperate measures. He
will then show the country that he and his
party have deserved the victory that has
crowned them, and that they deserve the
highest confidence a people can pay q party
namely, the control of the government of the
country.

The Won Arnim Controversy.

We print elsewhere the text of some impor-
tant letters in the Arnim-B Bismarck con-
troversy. The substance of these letters has
been given in special cable dispatches; but in
o matter of so much gravity as the contro-
versy that now divides public opinion in the
German Empire and excites the utmost inter-
est in Europe every fact that contributes to an
exact knowledge of the merits of the case will
have great value.
As we have contended from time to time,
this is not merely personal controversy be-
tween Count Arnim and the Prussian Chan
cellor, but grave issue in German politics.
No one supposes for q moment that the Count
has committed any act that will justly bring
him within the pale of the criminal law.
That was an incredible supposition in
the beginning, and we have seen
nothing in the whole progress of the
discussion to throw any stain upon his
character. The attempt to fasten a criminal
charge upon him is therefore the desperate
expedient of statesman whose policy of
"blood and iron" he applies to all who Cross
his path. This Bismarck has conceded by his
release of Count Arnim. In his efforts to
crush his domestic enemy the great German
statesman has exposed himself to serious
snubblng from his old opponents in Vienna.
In the hope Of acquiring evidence against
Won Arnim an application was made to the
Austrian Provincial Court to compel the
editors OF the Press to give information of
the source from which they derived their
news relative to the Won Arnim dispatches
The Austrian Court declined. however to
be used by even SO great man as Bismarck,
and curtly refused to put the law into force,
on the ground that, though the question was
important to Prussia, it was of no consequence
to Austria. 1t Is many years since Prussian
diplomacy has received so humiliating q
check. 1t is evident that the personal policy
of Bismarck has a tendency to get him into
trouble.
What the end will be it would be folly to
speculate. We do not see that any action has
been taken by the German Parliament which
assembled the other day. In that Parliament
the influence Of Bismarck is commanding
But in forms of government like that of
Prussia, where the absolute will of monarch
is supreme, no one can tell what the morrow
may bring. 1t would not surprise us if Bis
marck, who has risen like Wolsey, should
some day suddenly fall like him before the
anger of capricious king
The New York herald., 1874-11-12

The SINGULAR RECOMMENDATION to which
the Evening Post devoted its leader yesterday,
that law be passed next winter requiring
the Forty-fourth Congress to assemble in
March next, evinces less penetration than we
should have expected in SO intelligent
journal. 1t is, indeed, in the power Of the
present republican Congress to compel It's
successor to meet on any day it may fix SUBJ
sequent to the Sd of March, the constitution
requiring the annual meeting to be con the
first Monday in December unless they shall
by law fix different day." But what motive
can the republicans have for compelling the
new House to meet in March2 The Post says
it would force the democratic majority to
show their hand. But it is easier to lead
horse to the water than to make him drink.
The democrats of the House would not pass
bills for the republican Senate to reject,
unless they felt sure that their rejection would
damage the republican party. II Congress
we're to be assembled i'll March the first thing
done by the House after organizing
would be to appoint six or eight committees
of investigation to probe abuses in every
executive department. The democrats would
doubtless be glad of such an opportunity
but it is quite certain that the republicans will
not accommodate them.

TIE RELIaIo-P POLITICAL AGITATION m ENG
nAND.-The special HERALD telegram by cable
frop London which appears in our columns
to-day brings the important announcement
that the religio-political agitation, which
has lately distracted North Germany and
troubled South Germany, Austria and Italy
to such dangerous extent, has invaded Eng
land. Ex-Premier Gladstone and Archbishop
Manning, Of Westminster, are the leaders
Of the opposing forces. They have
commenced an angry discussion in
the columns of the press 1t is highly
probable that Mr.. Gladstone has protested
against the idea of assembling o Catholic
council in defence of the Papal temporalities
in London, and that the Archbishop stands
on the rights Of the English Catholics, both
as freemen and congregationalists, to do so.
Earl Russell will be very likely to fraternize
again with Gladstone, while Premier Disraeli,
although neutral, may find material for new
edition Of "Lothair."

The City Budget for 1874 and 1878.

AAO SAsy ouu8et TOE 1874 and lSJ5s
The Board of Aldermen meet to-day to con-
slider the provisional estimate for conducting
the public business of the city for the year
1875, as adopted by the Board Of Apportion-
ment A comparison of this estimate with
the budget finally revised and adopted for the
current year will show that the appropria-
tions have been materially reduced in but q
few of the departments. The Common Coun-
Gil this year has $193, 500. Deducting 500, 900
for the Assistant Aldermen and their officers.
abolished after January /, 1875, and the ap-
preparation for the current year is $94. 500.
The provisional estimate for 1875 increases
this to sl09,5OO The Finance Department.
this year gets 1888, 600. 1t gets for next year
$500, ,000-a reduction Of only $38,OOO Tho
Law Department gets $18s,5OO in 1875,
against $149, $40 in 1874-an increase Of
$4,000. The Department Of Public Works is
down in the provisional estimate for next
year for s1,572,OO0, and gets this year
ST, 592 0c0-a decrease of $4,000. The De-
partment of Public Parks gets this year
$595, ZOO, and in 1875 $5S4,O0O-a
saving of only $1,000. The Department.
OF Charities and Correction gets this year for
salaries, supplies, outdoor relief and repairs.
S1,278O00. In the estimate for next year it
gets 81, 200, 0O0---a reduction of $7S, 1000. This
year there are appropriations to the depart
ment for building pavilions and elevators
which are not in the budget for 1875. The
Health Department is reduced only $4,000
from the appropriation for the present year.
the Police Department s144, ZOO, the Fire De-
partment 1920, 900 and the Board of Educa-
ton $466,000.
1t twill be seen that reductions of any amount
have only been made in the Departments of
Charities and Correction, Police, Fire and
Education. The other departments may be
said not to have been reduced at all, since the
final revised estimate for 1874, in which some
saving was effected, was not passed until
June last, and hence the reduction fell only
upon one-half of the year. The budget for
1875 shows a total increase of 81, ,OOO, 900 over
the budget of the present year, and the rate
of taxation for next year, unless the Board Of
Aldermen insist on further economy, will be
nearly three per cent.

RACING ON THE EAST RIvER.-Now that
the inspectors have an opportunity OF ex-
amining' thoroughly into the practice of rae
ing carried on by the Harlem River boats we
hope they will not fail TO do their duty fear
lessly. The conduct Of the captains and
engineers on these river boats deserves the
strongest reprobation. Day after day they
endanger the lives of hundreds of people to
crafty silly vanity. II is disgraceful that
the authorities have not taken steps
to put down this system OF steam
boat racing; but they have now the
facts before them officially, and it they will
take steps to put an end to the disgraceful and
dangerous practice they will receive the thanks
OF the community.

F THESE SEVEN DEMOCRATS Thurman,
Tilden, Bayard, Hendricks Seymour, Kerr
and Pendleton-would hold private confer
ence and agree to mutually support one
another and act in perfect concert on all the
great questions of currency, trade and finance,
they could give the democratic party what it
chiefly lacks, policy. But if these eminent
democratic statesmen cannot agree among
themselves how can the party ever be har-
monized2 Hendricks, who represents the
Indiana, and PsndSeton, who represents the
Ohio democrats, would have to make greater
concessions than the other five in reaching q
result to which they could all subscribe; but
they ought to have public spirit enough to
yield good deal tor the sake of so important
an object The joint influence of these seven
men might soon hush all discordant voices in
the party if they could come at once to a

formation already in their possession and the
slight start obtained by the robber the detec-

to teach the rogues that they will be pursued
