The Bouapartists Taunted with
Sedan.

VERSAILLES, June 2.-The vote in
the Assembly last night on passing to
a second reading the Municipal bill,
was 394 to 299. There was consider
able anxiety in the Chamber during
the vote, lest it would precipitate a
dissolution of the Assembly.
PARIS, June I'm the Assembly
to day the General Election bill was
taken up, and a stormy debate follow
ed. NJ Brisson, Radical, in the
| course CT bitter speech, taunted the
Bonapartists With leading France to
Sedan. A scene Of wild excitement
ensued, and at one time some Of the
Deputies almost came to blows.
M. Gambetta delivered a speech at
Auxerre to-day. He made compre-
hensive statement Of the position of
the Republican party; declared the
progress it had made was owing to its
admirable organization; predicted tn at
the final struggle was to be between
Republicanism and Bonapartism Sc
vereIy denounced the conduct Of the
Bonapartists, and concluded with an
earnest and eloquent appeal to the
Liberals to unite On the work of con-
solidating the Republic. NJ. Gam
betta's audience numbered about 500,
and included many members of the
Assembly, and several Mayors who
were dismissed by the late Govern
ment.
PARIS, June 2.-The debate in the
Assembly on the Electoral bill will be
continued tomorrow, when M. Ledru
Roilin will speak against the measure.
M. Brisson, in bis speech to-day,
solemnly warned the Chamber that the
adoption Of the bill would lead to a
revolution of the plebiscitum.
M. Gambetta, at Auxerre to-day,
denounced the plebiscitum as false in
principle and lying homage to nation
al sovereignty. All citizens should
demand an appeal to the people by
means of general elections. This was
the real question.
GENERAL GUSTAV HTNTlNG In
DIANs.-DIsMARCK, d. IT,, June 2.
Custer, with 450 cavalry, one COM
papy of infantry, and fifty indian
scouts left Lincoln last night to inter-
cept Indians who left Cheyenne some
days ago. Custer struck the trail
twelve miles west Of Lincoln, and
followed in the direction of Berthold.
The Indians seem to be after the Ber-
thold Agency, and are supposed to
number over l,O00 many parties hav-
ing joined them since they left Chey-
enne.
BISMARCK, D. T., June 2.-Custer
returned from the chase after the In
dians this afternoon, having followed
them about forty miles. He found
traces only Of stragling parties of the
Indian party which left the Cheyenne
Agency. They seem to have gone in
the direction of the Black Hills, where
they were supposed to be concentrat-
ing to intercept the Gold hunters.
They had not gone to Berthold. Gus
ter's expedition will leave in about
ten days.

The question of passing the Imitation bill
over the veto of the President was brought
rather Unexpectedly before the Senate yester-
day, and went to vote without any extended
discussion. The motion was put merely
as matter Of form, as the sup
porters of the measure well understood
their inability to obtain the required two
third majority. The motion to .pass the bill
Notwithstanding the objection of the Presi-
dent received only thirty-four yeas, while
thirty nays were recorded. AS two-third
majority was necessary to make the bill
law, the veto was sustained and the
country may congratulate itself on an escape
from one of the most revolutionary and dam
gerous measures which have been attempted
since Fort Sumter was fred on. General
Grant has deserved the best thanks of the
nation for his independence and frmness in
putting his foot on this imitation scheme, and
has restored confidence among native and for
eign capitalists. The spectre Of repudiation
was looming up, and had the Initiation bill be-
come law the evil effects of the measure would
not have long delayed in making themselves
visible.

The NEwGATE DBAsTER. ER.-Yesterday three
buildings in Newgate street. London, fell and
several persons were crushed in the ruins. 1t
is not said whether the buildings were old
and decayed or whether they were only un-
der process of construction. If new, it only
shows that bad management prevails in Lon
don as it does in New York, and that builders
have to be carefully watched. If old, it shows
the need that exists for extensive demolition
and quite as extensive reconstruction. As we
showed . few days ago, the habitations of the
London poor are . standing disgrace to the
greatest Of modern cities

PASSAGE OF THE APPROPRIATION BILL. The
House yesterday took up and passed the Gen.
eral Appropriation bill, agreeing to some Of
the amendments proposed by the committee.
The celebrated landaulet item, which in o
moment of virtue had been stricken out, was
restored by the House. The Department of
Justice is to have horses and carriages as in the
old days and no retrenchment will be listened
to in this direction. An effort to give gaugers
seven dollars day, instead of five, was, how
ever, defeated, and after this display Of virtue
the members could well afford 10 show their
respect for the law by voting horses and car
eja0es TO the Department of Justice.

ARE THE POLICE ABOVE THE LAw?-The
police seem resolved to keep public attention
fixed on their marked Indifference to the law,
which is supposed to be supreme over every
citizen. Captain Williams, who figured SO
conspicuously few weeks ago, appeared in
Court yesterday in connection with the alleged
carrying of OF young girl twelve years of
age. writ was served on himself and the
venerable Matsell demanding the production
of the child in Court, but neither of the
worthless felt called on to obey. The matter
will come up again to-day.

NEW s74oUADRUPLE SHEET

an armed body Of men and seized
the State House. There Brooks remains, and
the only reason why Baxter has not taken it
is that he ''does not desire bloodshed." He
awaits the decision of the Supreme Court,
and in the meantime has summoned the Legis-
lature. He will sshold the Office until the
end of the term or until legally removed by
the one or the other.
1t seems to us that Baxter has the best case
OF the two; but the unfortunate fact remains
that he has no money. That is an important
feature in Arkansas politics. Baxter also may
have persuasive qualities which the blunt and
crisp Brooks does not exhibit in his argument,
and our readers must wait further evidence
before coming to decision. So we permit
the case to stand over for the
present. The painful fact remains
that the condition of affairs in Arkansas is
misfortune to that State. sad evidence of
misgevernment of crime, folly, corruption
and shame; but it is only another in the
series OF scandals that have marked recon-
struction in the South since the close of the
war. We have closed the war, but
we have not made . peace. Chaos
remains. but chaos is not reconstruc-
ton. The major general has been withdrawn,
but the adventurer has taken his place. Mill
tary severity has been succeeded by untram-
melled license. The natural leaders Of the
South are disfranchised, banished, SILENT
dead. The new rulers have gone, like the
English to India or the Spanish to Cuba, to
wiring wealth out of the people, and leave
when enriched. Splendid States like Arkan-
sas. Louisiana and the Carolinas, rich in
natural resources, climate and all the bless
ings that nature can bestow, are plundered.
They have no enterprise, no growth, no
prosperity, no encouragement to industry or
enterprise, no security at home no credit
abroad. 1t is indeed sorry sight, q dis
grace to our Republic more marked even
than Poland or Ireland. Poland has a
government which keeps the peace and
protects property, and Ireland is ruled
by men who may despise her history,
her traditions and her hopes, but who do not
plunder the treasury and oppress the people
for their personal gain.

Affairs in Spain.

Our news from Spain resolves itself into
two points-the first is that the Carlists have
asked Serrano for amnesty; the second is that
Senior CASTELAR, has written letter in favor of
federal republic We have not much re-
spect for 'News from Spain," as it seems to
be written altogether for effect on the London
money market. Spanish statesmen are always
borrowing money, and the news they permit
to 90 over their wires is meant to encourage
the English to give them more credit The
first point, about the Carlists asking for am
nesty, is absurd Serrano has never had the
Carlists in position to expect them to seek
mercy and oblivion. The Carlist cause is now
where it was forty years ago-where it haa
always been-intrenched in the Biscayan
mountains, almost inaccessible to regular
troops, and sustained by people who live ON
romance, adventure and warfare.
Castelar's declaration means that he is once
more in full communion with his party. But
he returns, we have little doubt, as penitent.
not as leader. With all of his extraordinary
gifts-and rs an orator he probably is sur
passed by no man that lives and few that ever
ived-he showed no foresight as President;
none of those sterner and less attractive quail
tiles by which men are governed, not moved.

The paths of the sea ought to be as well
understood as the highways on the land. 1t
Is noteworthy that when caravans through the
great deserts were more numerous than they are
now they mostly pursued the same beaten
track. The same thing was true of the pioneer
parties which followed each other far beyond
the bounds of civilization into the Far West in
such rapid succession in the early part of the
century. Indeed, it was found extremely
hazardous, both in ancient and in modern
times, to wander from the defined courses
gathered from experience in land traffic, are
now especially applicable to the ocean.
Science will be busy during the next few years
in finding paths over the sea for sailing ves-
sells Of every kind, paths best suited to times
and seasons, and where winds and currents are
most favorable. But because steamships
are not 50 ych subject to the wind and
the tide is no reason why they also
should not have their allotted paths. Indeed,
they are more at the mercy of the sea than
the brave little schooners which can outride
every storm. We have had many examples
lately of steamers going to pieces on the high
seas, magnificent vessels filling with water
and certain to result in great loss of life if
other vessels had not been near by to save the
passengers, or dashing upon the rocks in the
night because they were out Of their reckon
ing. An intelligent method of navigating the
ocean as certain in its courses as the drives
through the Central Park is the great neces-
years fully two hundred steamers will ply be-
tween New York and distant ports. Increased
travel ought to secure increased safety, and as
the majority Of these vessels cross the Atlantic
no effort must be spared to secure it. All the
dangerous routes must be avoided and practi-
cal pathways established which will be safe in
all seasons and secure for the public all
the advantages of ocean travel. It is in
vain to look to legislation for this great
necessity of steam lanes Congress can
not prescribe pathway for foreign vessels,
nor Parliament define the course of American
ships. But the leading steamship companies
can do what no legislation can effect They
can define the paths for their ships and
compel the officers of their vessels to pursue
the courses laid down on their charts. SIM
pie agreement on their part to do this will
have more than the force Of law. We look to
the companies for the realization of this idea
of steam lanes across the Atlantic. They have
simply to bring their knowledge and expert
ence to bear upon the question to settle upon
a course for outward and inward bound ves-
to see that their vessels pursue them. This
will be the solution Of the whole matter, and in
practice viii restore lost confidence in steam
vessels and prevent the frequently recurring
accidents and loss of life of the last two or
three years.

OvERcHARGINa EMIGnANTs. The practice
of selling through tickets in Europe seems to
be attended with abuses which deserve the
closest attention on the part of the authori-
ties A case was brought under the notice Of
the Emigration Commissioners yesterday
where as much as twenty-one dollars are
alleged to have been overcharged The worst
Of the matter seems to be that the law for the
protection of emigrants does not reach per-
sons engaged in this ticket-selling business in
Europe, and no remedy can be had against
companies making the overcharge. If this be
really the case the flaw in the law should be
repaired with the least possible delay, so that
steamship companies trading to this port
shall be compelled to respect the law made
for the protection Of smiQrants

Tho High TariH Men ON the Alcrs.
The Committee of Ways and Means re-
ceived a deputation Of gentlemen yesterday
and heard arguments from them in favor d
increasing the tariff. These gentlemen want
the act of June 6, 1873, which reduced the
duty on certain imported articles, repealed.
They hail from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Michigan. Among them, and
prominent as spokesmen, were Mr.. Reeves, Of
Philadelphia, President of the American Iron
and Steel Association; General Robert Pat
terson, of the same city, owner OF several
cotton and woollen factories, and Mr.. Whar-
ton, the proprietor Of large nickel works.
They seemed to represent the Illinois, Wis
consin and Michigan men, whoever these
latter might be- in the conference. We do
not think there are any representative Western
men who could advocate q ten per cent
increase of the tariff, though there may be
some representing their own interests
who would do So OF course thers
was good deal said about the depressed con-
dition of the manufacturing interests and tho
necessity Of fostering them. 1t is the old
story. This movement of the manufacturers
was inspired, no doubt by the significant
remarks of the President in his late Veto Mea-
sage Of the Financial and Currency bill. The
President, it will be remembered, urged an
increase of the revenue, with a view, osten-
sibly, Of augmenting the resources of tho
government so as to bring about specie pay
ments. Then the refusal to increase the cur
rency may make it necessary to raise larger
revenue in order to meet the expenditures.
The policy of the administration, as indicated
by the remarks referred to, would call for
more taxation, and as it is not likely direct
taxation will be resorted to the revenue
required must be obtained from higher duties
The manufacturers see their opportunity and
are wise enough not to neglect it. This We
regard as the secret of the movement mem
toned and the appeal made before the Com
mittee of Ways and Means to repeal the act Of
last year reducing the tariff. j.

The falling of the house in Brooklyn on
Friday and the discovery that the splendid
apartment building in Twenty-seventh street,
extending from Broadway to Fifth avenue,
known as the Stevens building is unsafe are
fresh evidences of the necessity of q stricter
supervision by the departments having these
things in charge in the two cities. We are
afraid the title Of inspector of buildings is
legal fiction, or else that the term superin-
tendent conveys q very different meaning from
that usually attributed to it. Are these Offices
mere sinecures created for the personal gain
Of few oAaceholders but imposing no real
duties upon the incumbents? This question is
startling one, but the accidents which occur
from time to time by the falling Of buildings
supposed to be safe seem to be an answer
quite as startling as the question. No eye,
except the practised eye Of builder, could
have detected flaw in the Fifth avenue front
of the Stevens house yet within few days
of the first discovery of weakness in the i'm
mense structure there were seams in the cell
ing and fssure in the wallis It was this ac-
cidental discovery, perhaps, that prevented
great crash and terrible loss of life. Let it
be understood that the public officers whose
duty it is to remove unsafe buildings and to
see that only safe structures are erected are
equally responsible with the architects, and
that all are to be vigorously punished whenever
culpability is proved, and much Of the danger
will be avoided. In this matter the good old
notion of making an example" would prove
Of immense advantage

The LOBBYING CAsE.-Chief Justice DAILY
took occasion yesterday, in reviewing the evil
dence in the case of Shaw vs.. Babcock, to re-
mark on the peculiar condition of the Legis-
lature of this State as pointing either to the
existence of widespread corruption or most
vexatious cumbrousness in procedure. The
latter was the charitable view to take but we
fear Judge DAILY was much nearer the mark
when he arrived at the other conclusion.
About the lobbying case, as it stands at pres
ent, we have nothing to say but we are glad
to hear Judge of the land denounce in bold
and unmistakable terms the evils which are
sapping the very foundations of popular gov
ernment.
