Our cable dispatches from India show
some improvement in the famine stricken
districts. We have also an official state
ment from the Marquis of Salisbury, the
new Secretary of State for India under Mr..
Disraeli, as to the probable extent of the
famine. High hopes have been entertained
that the Marquis, who, in addition to being one
of the great mobiles of England, possesses ex-
ceedingly fine parts 6s an executive officer,
would be able to grasp this horrible and
appalling question, and save India from the
dreadful fate that threatens SO many millions
Of Its people. The general opinion is that
the Duke of Argyll, who preceded Lord Sails
bury in the India Office, had too technical
mind and was too much governed by prece-
dent and custom to grasp entirely question
of the magnitude of the famine. Lord Sails
bury says nothing of what the Duke Of Argyll
did, but he speaks in the highest terms of
Lord Northbrook, the yiceroy. The main
trouble thus far has been, not the want Of
money nor the want of food, but the paucity
Of the means of communication. There is no
way of reaching the seat of the famine. In
some parts of Bengal there are surplus crops
Of grain, but no method Of carrying it to the
starving population.
We are happy to learn from Lord Salisbury
that, while there has been great want and
privation, the mortality has been confined to
very few cases. Tha famine Will. from the

In the death of M. Beul6, announced as
having occurred on Saturday, one of the first
scholars and political potentates Of France
passes away He came into great prominence
in Europe during the first Ministry Of the
Duke de Broglie, in which he held the port
folio Of the Interior. Although his political
antecedents were republican he did not hesi-
tate to declare, in language which shocked the
liberal thought Of the world, that the safety of
society demanded Cmsarism of the most rig
orous kind Hardly had he aroused the in
dicnation of France by this declaration, which
was made as ON official, than he
came into power and issued a cir
cular to the projects Of all the depart
ments, commanding them to subsidize the
press. This document soon came to
light. Gambetta fourshed it in the
face of the Assembly, and its publication
called forth the denunciation of oil journals
of an independent character. This audacious
attempt at corrupting the public mind was
not condemned, because then, as now, skilful
politicians were able to override the popular
will 1t simply proves in what strange gym
nastics a French publicist having the arst

so to me, and more also, if aught but death
part thee and me-" There can be no honest
political discussion that ignores this fact
There can be no reform in republicanism that
begins by an attempt to separate Grant
from the party as 50 reformatory process
Great as the party is and has been, clever as
these leaders have shown themselves during
twenty years of power, the President is the
greatest Of them all. He has impressed the
party as strongly as jefferson did the early re-
pubicans or jackson the later democrats. The
party bears his impress as the republican and
democratic parties bore the impress of the
great men who founded them. What we see,
therefore, in republicanism is drilled regu-
lar army of ofice-holders, ruled by West
Point manual and commanded by man who
is regarded by his enemies as the great soldier
Of the age, and who in peace and war has
never known defeat. Therefore there can be
no dishonesty more fagrant than that which
proposes to compass reform by ON Oriental
obeisance to Grant as q sacred, supreme in
fuence unhappily tainted with Butlerism,
and then to destroy his friends as an act
OF kindness to his administration.
We cannot postpone this discussion much
longer-not even our Blaines or Mortons or
other timid protesting souls, who shave no
views to express on subject which is prema-
ture." It's certainly not too soon to think Of
storm when the clouds come rolling up black
and ominous and tinged with lightning flashes.
In the East we see the professors in revolt,
with capacity for effective speech if for moth
ing else. In New York many honest mer-
chants and great many whose honesty would
command o high underwriters premium, are
scowling over Sanborn and Jayne transactions
and reminding us Of the money they paid for
'the cause and of their rough treatment by the
Custom House. In the South there are graver
symptoms. The gallant spirit OF Chancellors-
vile and Fredericksburg now and then breaks
out, showing that the volcanic flames still burn
under the earthquake ruins of war. All that
we see Of the South in Congress is o
phantom like Stephens vainly endea voring to
recall the House that once oDeyed him, an un-
easy, squeaking, gibberng ghost OF the
Southern Confederacy, who speaks to silent
benches. New men have come who know
him not, new men in the seats OF Carolina
and Alabama and Tennessee, representing
the crimes of the conqueror and not the mis-
fortunes of the conquered In the West the
spirit of sectionalism proposes to dominate
the country in the interest of repudiation and
bankruptcy, as the South once sought to dom
mate in the interest of slavery. Amid all
these phenomena, with cares, strifes, mad
ness, despair seeking an uneasy mastery,
Grant and his party stand unmoyed, undis-
mayed-strong in their discipline and their
power. Will they rule the storm or be
destroyed by it? The answer to that question
is the one political Easter problem.

Can Tweed Escape at Wills

The Commissioners of Charities and Cor
rection are at loggerheads, as will be seen
by our report to-day, about Tweed. Mr..
Laimbeer processes to have discovered o
manifestation of too much kindness to the
prisoner at Blackwell's Island and the possible
danger of Tweed's escape. No one will blame
this Commissioner for being vigilant in his
duty, in seeing justice properly executed and
in carefully avoiding any censure to himself
in the event Of Tweed's escape But the
other two Commissioners, Bowen and Stern,
do not think Tweed is too kindly treated or
that there is any ground to apprehend that he
might escape. Looking at the piebald char
acter of this ommission-Laimbeer being
radical republican, Bowen an old
democrat and Stern reformer, of q
mixed political stripe-we are not surprised
at their quarrel over the Gagged tiger, or that
one of them should feel nervous about the
bars Then there is q bill pending in the
Legislature to legislate these Commissioners
out of Office, and that would be sufficient to
call forth unusual zeal in political partisan
Of the same character as the majority of the
Legislature. He might save himself in that
way, though the Commission were to be
changed. However, the law should be exc
cuted in the case of Tweed as we'll as in that
of any other criminal, and Mr.. Laimbeer
may be right But let us have all
the facts. Mr.. Stern has spoken and
assumes all the responsibility for the treat
ment and safe keeping of Tweed. Now let
MIR. Bowen speak. Let us have the truth.

lively whether the news we publish this morn
ling from Cheyenne is encouraging or not.
About six thousand Indians have registered at
the Red Cloud Agency, and about four thou
|sand are expected to register at the Spotted
Tail Agency. The Commissioners, who aver
that they have examined the situation, but
who, according to others, have only been
among the ration-eaters, allow that the situa-
|tion has been critical, while exaggerated by
|the press. Later on we are promised hostili-
lies. We hope they will be brief, interesting

A LIBRARY IN THE ToMBs. Miss Linda
Gilbert has, in spirit of true philanthropye
provided library of one thousand volumes
for the use of the prisoners in the Tombs.
She sends them letter written in excellent
|spirit and couched in beautiful language
which will be found elsewhere. Donations of
this character can have no other than the best
possible effect, provided the class of reading
furnished is neither too heavy, on the one
|hand, nor too sensational on the other.

The CARIIsT WAR.-The telegraph in
Forms us of the renewal of active op-
eraticns before Bilbao. The army of Ser
kano seems to have again entered upon
offensive operations. but this time with more
caution. The republicans are reported to be
ehelling some of the Carlist positions, which
may only be rslse to gain time for reinforce
ments to come up. The position is certainly
kery critical, as the Cailists are evidently
strongly posted, and should Serrano make
hnother unsuccessful attack the consequences
% his army might be very serious.
There can be little doubt that the
lrmy of Don Carlos is receiving as
btrong reinforcements as that of Serrano,
hnd, as the supporters of the pretender seem
besolved to maintain the blockade of Bilbao,
vs may expect the most important struggle of
he war within the next few days. 1t would,
however, be o mistake to imagine that VIC
ory on either side would prove decisive The
Carlists, even if victorious, could not venture
nto CASTLE and, il defeated, they will simply
|isperse among their mountains and carry on
uerills operations until the wheel of fortune
llows them to become formidable once more.

The Connecticut Election To-day.

To-day Connecticut elects State officers and
impossible to accurately calculate upon the
result, it is very evident, from the tone of the
press, that the republicans are not very san
guine Of success. The canvass has been an ex-
citing one between the adherents of the tick
cts headed respectively by Mr. Harrison, the
republican candidate, and Mr.. Ingersoll, the
standard-bearer Of the democracy. and the lat
ter calculate upon securing q sufficient liberal
republican vote to elect Mr.. Ingersoll. The
prohibitionists are also running ticket, and
the republicans of the State hope that they
will poll number sufficient to neutralize that
Of the liberals, and thus throw the choice
upon the Legislature The Hartford Times
estimates that the republicans will fall fully
three thousand below majority, and declares
that in anticipation Of q defeat and the prob
ability that the Legislature wiz be called upon
to decide the ISSUE they are bending all their
energies to elect majority of the Legislature,
and thus secure the same results as the de-
mocracy did in New Hampshire.
The following are the tickets of the demo-
Gratis and republicans .
DEMOCRATS.
For GOue1nOr-Chares X. Ingersoll. Of New
Haven.
for Lieutenant Gouernor-George G. Sill OF
Hartford.
For Secretary Of .Statc-Marvn II. Sanger, OF
Canterbury.
For Treasurer William A. Raymond, OF New
Canaan.
For Comptroller Alfred r. Goodrich, OF Vernon.
REPUBLICANS.
For GOue1-nOr-Henry b. Harrison, OF New Haven.
For Lieutenant G0oernOr-John I. Wait, OF Nor
wCh.
For T1'eGsurer-David p Nichols, OF Danbury.
For Secretary OF StGte-JOhn z. A. Stone, OF
Kngly.
For C0mptroEer-E. Perry Packer. or Coventry.
The contest this year in the State is not
alone for the patronage to be secured by
electing State officers and Legislature, but
also to secure the United States Senatorship.
The Legislature to be chosen to-day will have
the election of successor to Senator Bucking-
ham, whose term expires next year, and hence
the item Of federal patronage is an additional
incentive to the politicians of the State.

claims to renown may indulge when called
upon to exercise the functions of an office in
France perhaps the most important in the
State. N. Beule was only one of type.
He was classical scholar of more than ordi-
nary culture. He was an academician who
won that high distinction by his archaeology
cal attainments, having assisted to clear up
mysteries concerning the site of Carthage.
Yet with these qualities and accomplishments
no man was ever worse failure as an execu-
tive officer of the French people. Of Olivier
we might say the same. IT. then, we
can draw any lesson from his life and from
the lives of the class of men to which he be-
longed, it is this-that practical craftsmanship
was never born Of the French Academy. Lit
erary qualifications and political dexterity
rarely coalesce in France. We might examine
the record CT any French publicist of this Gen.
tury and we would find that. when elevation
to high post has been a compensation for
the remuneration of the professed principles of
his life, he has generally preferred post to prin-
ciple. The usefulness OF French publicist's
life is hardly to be measured, therefore, by his
devotion to any fixed principle of political
conviction-rather by the skill with which he
serves the cause Of which he is an ephemeral
exponent; but, judging M. Beule by either
standard, his record is not worthy of an
academician.

There is cold and classic beauty about the
eloquence of this clergyman which contrasts
strongly with the exuberant and luxuriant
genius of Mr. Beecher. One reminds us of o
snow-clad peak in the cold winter sunlight;
the other of the rush of Niagara's waters or
the eternal roar of the SEQ. Like MIR. Beecher,
Mr. rockingham described resurrection as
process rather than an event. Spring does
not come in day, neither does resurrection,
but it does come. An eloquent Swedenbor-
gan writer had described resurrection as
o process of excremation Mr. rockingham
criticised the Gospel stories Of the resurrec-
ton as confused and doubtful AT the same
time he saw Christ as St. Paul describes him
a sinless man, and the sinless man is lmmor-

O doctrine OF spiritual and mental growth,
and the time was coming when the power OF
the will over the body would be properly re-
pnrded There were tremendous issues in

modern education was teaching US how
TO dress and eat and sleep. This
was the physical resurrection. But there
came also the social resurrection, the cre-
alton. for instance, Of man like Theodore
Parker, the piece of New England granite; Of
John Brown, who was bit of Mount Sinai:
his father the Adirondacks, his mother the
old Bible. In these men there had been q
resurrection just as we see it in the efforts to
educate this generation-the imperative de-
mand for honor and honesty and truth 10 our
public servants-the call for nobler public SER
vice. The reverend gentleman carried this
thought through his sermon, which, apart
from its peculiar religious views was OF un-
usual depth and power, and will be studied
with profit and pleasure.

these superine gentlemen in New England

clear eyes where there is really ANYTHING to
