The Progress Of tho English Empire.
Mr.. Disraei in his Guildhall speech felici-
tated his government on the fact that there
had already been two accessions to the
Empire; the first, the Gold Coast annexation,
which came with the satisfactory conclusion
Of the Ashantee war; and the second, the
acquisition of the FIJI Islands We observe
in recent dispatches that the Queen had used
her influence for the abolition of slavery and
that the African chiefs Of the Gold Coast had
consented to this measure.
These indications, trifing as they may ap-
absorbing the world, show the steady policy
of England. In remarkable letter written
by Theodore Parker, more than twenty years
ago, he speaks of this English tendency,
alluding to the remarkable peculiarly Of the
Anglo-Saxon race that they never fought for
glory, but for gain. France" he observed,
sis poorer for all her glorious victories
England is richer and while France covets
old countries England covets new ones.

has been advancing in the same path. She
has increased her possessions in Africa, in
Asia, in the Pacific, and has been quarrelling
with the United States, even to the point OF
war, about little island on the northwestern
coast
The Americans have had the same s1ust for

much in the way Of annexation and acquir-
ing new countries, partly because the war has
arrested all such schemes and partly because
the tendency of our national policy is to con.
solidate what we have before acquiring new
possessions. If we take America as il was al

to-day we will find that the young Republic

Idle Rumors-The Position OF Mayer
Vance.


The idle rumors that have been set ahoat in
regard to intended removals by Mayor Vance
are set at rest by the sensible announcements
of the Mayor that he means to oonfine himsef
to such official acts as it may be necessary for
him to perform during his brief term OF
Office. The supposition that he could mako
n removals. if he were disposed to make any,
until ten days after his accession to office, is
altogether erroneous, the ten days restriction
in the charter referring only to cases in which
the President Of the Board of Aldermen may
be called on to act as Mayor "in consequence
of the sickness or absence from the city" OF
the elected Mayor As Mr.. Vance is abso-
lutely Mayor he could have performed any
act Of the executive Office Immediately after
having taken the official OATH
While Mayor vancs's announcement is .
proof Of his good sense we do not suppose
that he will evade any duty it may be proper
that he should perform The interests Of the
city require that he should replace in Office
the Commissioners of Accounts who were ar
bitrarily removed in order that the reports
Of their investigation Of some Of the public
departments might be suppressed. As mem-
Der Of the Board Of Apportionment and a.
President Of the Board of Aldermen Mr.. Vance
is aware Of the injustice and impoicy of tho
removals and of the motives by which they
were prompted. The charter requires that "the
accounts of the City Treasury shall be annu-
ally closed on the Last day of November and
shall be examined in the month of December
in said year by the Commissioners Of Ac-
counts" The late Commissioners had been
year and half in Office when they were
removed, and had become familiar in that
time with the business and with the intricate
accounts of the Finance Department. The
new Commissioners are entirely without expe-
rience. It is desirable that the city should
have the advantage Of the old Commissioners
services in making this examination during
the present month, especially as they have
received the salary attached to the Office as
the price Of the experience they have gath
cred. One of the first official acts done by
Mr.. Vance should, therefore, be to replace tho
old Commissioners Of Accounts and to instruct
them to complete the Investigations in which
they we're engaged at the time Of their re-
movaL.

CASTELAR, COMING TO AMERICA. an
nouncement that Sefior CASTELAR, has been ap-
pointed Commissioner to the United States,
on the occasion of the coming centennial
celebration of independence will be read by
all who admire the genius and courage Of this
young statesman. CASTELAR, has been con-
spicuous among the liberals in Europe for his
admiration of the United States. There are
no speeches so-we might almost say extra
vagantly-eulogistic of America and her
great men as those of CASTELAR,. If he comes,
it will be as an honored guest as q man that
Americans should all delight to honor, not so
much because of his friendship to us. but be-
cause of his genius, his devotion for freedom
and the singular probity and beauty of his

party Of New Hampshire have resolved, as an
independent party, TO stand their ground here
after. They have accordingly nominated their

THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA ON THE SOUTH
AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, in his Message
to his State Legislature, is very enthusiastic
in his estimates from the late elections of the
near approach Of the millennium to the South.
He thinks it will come with democratic res
toration at Washington, and that this impor-
tant event is looming into view all round the
political horizon. But 1876. our centennial
year, is still good way off and, meantime,
in this age Of rapidly changing political events,
conditions and forces, we know not what o
day may bring forth. It is enough for the
present that, while the late elections express
the general dissatisfaction with the existing
national administration, they do not establish
the relative strength of the opposing parties
or their character OF pretensions for the grand
national contest of '76 nor for the preliminary
State skirmishes Of 1875.

INSECURITY IN CHIcAoo.-The special COM
mittee of the National Board Of Fire Under

appears there is still great insecurity from

rangements Of the Fire Department are def
cient, and it win be some years before all the
deficiencies can be supplied.

A NEEDED REFoRM.-A meeting of West
ern railroad men has been held in Chicago for
the purpose of abolishing the free pass system.
A resolution was adopted announcing that
after the 1st of January, 1875, ''no free pass
shall be granted over the roads represented in
the meeting to any person or persons for any
purpose whatsoever. This is movement in
the right direction. The whole system of free
passes is corrupt and degrading 1t has been
used to bribe poverty-stricken editors and
easy-going legislators, and putting citizens Of
corporations. There is no more reason why
railroad should carry man free because he
is an editor or politician than that the tailor
should make his clothes for nothing or the
grocer give him his provisions.

IMPORTANT ACTION IN THE LICENSE CASE
In our law reports appears the clear and Co
gent opinion of Judge Donohue allowing q
writ Of error with stay of proceedings and
bail, in the case Of the convicted unlicensed
liquor dealer. A strong appeal was made to
the Court in the nature Of argumenhm ad
hominem by the District Attorney against this
course but the Judge, very properly relying
upon q General Term decision that was par
ticipated in by Justice Miller, just elected to
the Court of Appeals, and Justice Daniels, of
this district holds strictly to the legal rights
Of prisoner to have his conviction sustained
upon the law as well as upon the facts. The
legal question will reach the upper Courts
early in January. Meanwhile the District
Attorney has announced that he is on the war
path for fresh victims.

consequently lost its best power and
usefulness. Every act will be jealously
watched by the country. Nothing will
do the republican party and The Presi-
dent more harm than for this Congress
to take liberties with the Treasury.
By this we mean to attempt any extraordinary
legislation, under the feeling that now is the
only time and that it must be employed. The
motto of the true men in Congress should be,
Economy, patience, retrenchment and
peace" And if Congress can only be held
true to this legend then it may, in the closing
weeks of its life, redeem something of the
confidence which brought it into power two
years ago, and which has passed away in SO
sudden and extraordinary manner.

General Nswton's Report-The Harlem
River.
General Newton's report of the work of
river and harbor' improvements done by the
United States engineer corps during the Last
fiscal year, some further extracts from which
we publish to-day is full of interest The &C
count of the survey of the Harlem River is
especially attractive to the citizens Of New
York. The full improvement Of the passage
between the Hudson River and Long Island
Sound will be most valuable aid to the COM
merce Of the metropolis. and the day will, no
doubt, arrive, when it will be the highway
for large fleets of vessels passing from river
to river The distractions to safe channel
navigation in the Harlem River are first, three
piers Of the old bridge of the foot of East
Hath street; second, the candle factory reef
at 122d street; third, the fat rock off 125th
street; fourth, small mid-channel rock off
the same street. between four and
five hundred feet from the shore, and.
fifth, q small rock at the mouth Of
Mott Havsn Canal TO remove these
distractions and secure q minimum depth in
the improved Harlem River Of not less than
twelve feet at mean low water will, according
to the estimate, cost q little under one
hundred and sixty-eight thousand dollars,
including fifteen per cent contingencies on the
estimated items. The old piers can be easily
removed at cost Of about four thousand
dollars. The expense Of removing the mid
channel rock is also set down at less than five
thousand dollars. The most costly Of the
proposed improvements is the removal of the
candle factory reef. the expense of which is
estimated at nearly eighty-four thousand
dollars, or about half the whole amount As
this reef has already been the cause of a num-
Der Of accidents and of considerable loss of
property it is matter OF surprise that the
work was not done long ago. It is not en-
couraging to read that only ten thousand dol
lars is now available from the appropriation
of the present year for the removal of these
distinctions This sum will be used for the
removal of the piers of the old bridge and the
small rock off East 125th street.
The annexation of the Westchester towns
to the city gives additional importance to the
improvement of the Harlem River and the
opening of the water channel between the
North River and the Sound to navigation. It
is curious to think how trifing viii be the
cost of the improvement when we reflect upon
the benefits it will confer on commerce and
the revolution it will work in the business Of
the metropolis. The time may come when the
Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvl Greek will
form the boundary Of the business portion of
the city, and when beyond its busy docks
will stretch out into tho new wards and into
what is still at present Westchester county
the private residences Of our merchant princes
The report suggests the necessity for well
considered system Of local improvements in
connection with the bridges and tunnels at
the Harlem River, and reminds US that those
works should be conceived and carried out
with view to the future use to be made of
its waters.
