feature as he finds in the American
girl, and it is not to be wondered at
that the good-natured beer-drinking
Ingomars of the German cities should be
astonished at seeing so much beauty walking
about alone or talking merrily in society
But about the funniest story which has yet
come to us from the other side is that in our
Brussels letter about the American throne
being offered to Prince Frederick Charles. Ii
the Hohenzollerns were as numerous and as
anxious for vacant thrones as were the Bona
parties at the time Napoleon was giving les
sons in war to the Prussians at Jena and
Auerstadt F. @. would still be compelled to
wait a while longer, for the American throne
is an article Of luxury that must be manufac-
tured before it can be emptied, even for
Hohenzollern. Our Italian letter cannot fail
to have particular interest for the New York
Assemblymen, for it seems the parliamenta-
rians at Rome and ct Albany are addicted to
similar practices. The railroad carriages are
turned into an adjunct lobby of the halls OF
legislation at both capitals, and free tickets
are considered as desirable there as here.
And this brings US to the last scene in our
panorama, which ends very properly with
glance at the new Grand Vizier and an anec-
dote of the fast young Prince Izzeden, and
SO completes picture fairer than that OF
Fairyland.

A Panorama of Europe.

The columns which we devote this morning
to our correspondents in the European CAPT.
tails show the scope and extent Of HERALD news
facilities in the Old World at the same time
that they present Kaleidoscope review of the
thoughts and doings Of people abroad. From
London we have theatrical gossip; from Brus-
sells a grave talk about emigration and emigra-
ton laws; from Paris pleasant chit-chat con-
corning the American Legation and such tooth
some bits of information as the quarrel be-
tween Victor Hugo and Gambetta in regard to
Hugo's latest novel; from Dresden more
American chattiness and the news that Mr..
Julian Hawthorne, son Of the novelist, has
new novel nearly ready fer the press from
Rome information about the King and the
Kingdom and the Pope and the Papacy, and
from Constantinople short chapter on
Turkish affairs. Looking more closely at
this panorama of busy life in Europe,
we see in rapid succession pictures
as happy as those the stage carpenter unrolls
of Fairyland in "The Midsummer Nights
Dream" We have word about Tom Taylor's
new drama, 'Clancarty," which we find to be
another contribution to tie modern series of
historical plays and we cannot but wonder
whether it will be as popular as Wills "Crom-
WELL or Halliday's "Amy Rcbsart.' In
America We have as yet given no attention to
plays founded on historical subjects; yet we
cannot doubt that the opportunity afforded
by historical subjects for stage pageantry will
soor make the historical very popular branch
Of the pictorial drama. Our correspondent
at the pleasant Saxon capital gives US al odd
picture of the effect Of American beauty upon
the sluggish German mind. The Teutonic
eve is not accustomed to such htheness Of
limb and classic perfection al face and

A CURIOUS POINT OF ORDER was raised by
Mr.. Cox IL the House Of Representatives yes
terday during the action on the Currency bills.
Mr.. Beck had proposed in an amendment to
tax the national bank circulation or stock,
and the point of order raised was that men,
bers interested in the national banks or stock
had nc right to vote on the question. Mr..
Cox stated at the same time that be owned
bank stock. The Speaker overruled the point
of order, and he was right probably; but it
is fact that the majority of the members Of
Congress are voting directly in a matter of
their personal interests on this question.

IN contest for the Mayoralty
A shining city contemporary. in an article
published elsewhere in the HERALD to-day,
indorses the elective principle in the case Of
the Comptroller, and goes so far as to declare
that IT there is to be an appointing power al
all the Comptroller should appoint the Mayor
rather than the Mayor the Comptroller. This
idea is suggested, no doubt by the present
situation, in which the Comptroller, as the
stronger and more positive power, controls
and moulds the Mayor, who is Of weaker and
more pliable material. But if we had an Ex-
ecutive Of the present age-one born about
the time Mr.. Havemeyer was first chosen Chief
Executive of the city-the case might b
reversed, and then our contemporaries argu-
ment would fail. In that event the Comp
troller would be as putty in the hands Of the
Mayor. But even in the present condition OF
affairs we see the evil Of collision between
the heads OF the Financial and Executive de-
partments. Sntruthful debt statements are
put forth by the one and Endorsed by tho
other. The report Of an examining commits
sion is submitted by the Mayor to the Comp
troller and acting Chamberlain-the very
officers whose accounts are under investiga-
tion-and the report is tempered with and
altered to suit the views Of the Finance De-
partment This is certainly not calculated
to give us honest government or to COM
mand the confidence of the people. Mayor
Havemeyer, no doubt believes that he
is doing his duty in carrying out the views
we almost say the orders-of the Comptroller
but he must remember that he will not always
be Mayor, and, if he has such little confidence
in popular election, how can he know what
sort of successor he will have? In fact,
Mayor Havemeyer's argument against the
election of Comptroller is very weak one-
1t is even unjust and unkind to the present
Comptroller; for if Mr.. Green in truth pos
sesses all the virtues and qualifications the
Mayor assigns to him, and if he has been az
signally successful as the Mayor claims in tha
reduction of debt and taxation, his triumphant
election to the Office he now fills by appoint
ment cannot be doubted.

The variety of topics chosen by the preach
ers for this days meditation is greater than
they usually present at such a season. A
standard subject for liberal Christians and for
some Christians not quite so liberal is Goods
Fatherhood," on which Rev. Mr.. Sweetser
will speak this morning. On the truth con-
tanned in this phrase rests the brotherhood Of
man, and the recognition of this relation
gives every man an influence for veal or woe
on his brother On this Mutual Influence"
the Rev. Mr.. McKevey will preach this morn
ing. Mr.. Cudworth believes that "Yearning
for God is the universal instinct of man
kind, and he will seek to demonstrate this
truth this morning. He will in the evening
also tell the Church of the Messiah what is
.The Only Foundation on which Christian
Church Can Rest and Become Prosperous"
Advice of the right sort is needed by this
Church Of the Messiah, which has been SO long
unsettled and unstable in its foundations Of
faith and of finance.
Temperance, too will receive share Of at
tention from the preachers to-day. DR.. Ry-
lance will tell st. Marks Protestant Episcopal
church what Christian Temperance" is and,
if he should take as liberal view of this CUES
ton as he took lately on the question OF
amusements, he will doubtless favor Dr.
Crosby's theories on temperance as against
total abstinence. But this question has legal
aspects which it will be the province Of Mr..
Goss to discuss this afternoon, and to show
how the law stands related to temperance at
present, and how it should be amended or
altered to meet the new necessities of the cause
as developed by the women crusaders.
Some men are capable of dealing only with
facts; other men can deal only in fiction or
speculation. Of the latter class are those
Progressive Spiritualists who manifest more
desire to know how they shall be occupied
when they depart this life than they are to
leave these speculations to the future and to
fill the present with the fullest measure OF
truth and goodness that they can give to their
fellow men. Let the morrow take thought for
the things concerning itself; sufficient to
every day is the evil thereof Some of our occu-
pations here in this life are not of our own
choosing, and this may be the case also in the
life to come. Wherefore speculate, then, on
these things and leave the tangible facts OF life
to take care Of themselves?
The Rev. Mr.. Hepworth will invite his hear
ers this morning, as Nathaniel invited Philip,
to ''Come and See" whether any good thing
could come out of Nazareth, and in the even
ing he will tell the young people what some Of
them say and think Of religion. MIR. Pycott of
Brooklyn, will group and present the Teach
ings Of Experience for his Episcopal hearers,
and will emphasize the lessons which may be
drawn therefrom.

The AsHANTEE TREATy.-King Koffee, it is
said, has signed the treaty with England sent
to him by Sir Garnet Wolseley; but the old
boy, it is added, has given no guarantees.
What guarantees could he give? His capital
city was captured, and 'loot'' was allowed and
INDUCED in After all. the conqueror needs
no higher guarantee than this-that the
enemy has been defeated, and that he admits
the fact King Koffee has had through this
war some fresh experience of the ways of the
world, and the presumption is that he will
not much trouble the British government in
the future Sir Garnet was right. He did his
work and left. Even Bismarck made a mistake
about guarantees.

this morning fuller details Of the Louisa
Germs case, an account Of which was printed
in the HERALD Of yesterday. The story is
strange one. On the 29th IF last month
young woman Of the above name died at the

inferred at Union Cemetery Brooklyn. 1t
having been discovered that the Doctor and
tie deceased lady had lived On most intimate
terms, and that the former had taken out
joint policy OF ten thousand dollars
il the Merchants Insurance Company, the
policy TO revert to the Doctor in case of the
death of the lady, Coroner Kessler ordered
the exclamation Of the body aud an examine
ton Of the same. The grave has been opened,
as our news this morning shows. The result
Is before the public We are willing to allow

Should the Comptroller BE Elected OF
Appointed:

The question whether the Comptroller Of
New York should be elected by the people or
appointed by the Mayor of the city is one of
much importance and reaches beyond any
squabble over the retention or election of any
individual who may for the time occupy that
Office. The position taken by Mayor Have
meyer against the election of the head Of the
Finance Department is broad and decisive.
His high opinion of the present Comptroller is
natural enough, since any failure to appreciate
the extraordinary qualifications Of that officer
would be, in fact, lack of appreciation of
the capacity of the Executive Department,
which owes 80 much Of its eff
cheney to the controlling influence Of
Mr.. Green. But the Mayor goes beyond the
question Of the expediency of making an i'm
mediate change in charter which has not
been in operation one year, and denounces
the election Of the head of the Finance De-
partment as full of danger and as condemned
by the experience of the past In this we
think the venerable Executive is in error Our
best Comptrollers have been elected By the
people. Even Connolly, when an elected
Comptroller, appears to have acted honestly,
and it was only after the power of the "Ring'
had taken all the leading offices out of the
reach of the popular vote that the big rascalities
of our late Tammany rulers commenced.
The Comptroller is an officer who ought to
be entirely Independent of the Mayor. AS
the head of the Finance Department the for
mer possesses the power to audit and pass
upon all claims against the city, and such
claims are wholly within his control until he
ment Then comes the first check that the
law places between him and the public treas
ury. The Mayor is required to countersign
the warrants thus drawn and signed by the
Comptroller, and it has been firmly maintained
by the reformers, of whom Mr.. Havemeyer
was once the honored head, that this counter
signing is not merely o form, but that the
Mayor is required in the discharge Of his duty
to satisfy himself that every warrant which
he completes by the addition OF his name is
drawn for just and homes: debt. We main
tain that for this, if for no other reason,
the Comptroller and the Mayor should
be independent, the one of the other, 10 that
there would not be so great danger Of collu-
sion between them as there is when the Comp
troller owes his appointment to the Mayor and
may be his mere creature. Besides, If the
people would be likely to elect corrupt
Comptroller, as the Mayor believes, they
would also be likely to elect corrupt Mayor,
who would appoint corrupt Comptroller; so
that point of Mr.. Havemeyer's argument goes
for nothing. On the other hand, there is less
probability Of the election Of An improper
