PRESIDENT MAcMAHoN's DEFINITION of the
relations of France toward the Pope and the
Italian King, delivered by Duke Decazes to
the Assembly at Versailles in the name of the
Executive yesterday, is calculated to allay the
anxiety which has lately prevailed on the sub
ject The spiritual functions and claims OF
His Holiness and the temporalities of Victor
Emmanuel will be respected, with due dis
elimination. bv France.

1t will thus be seen that on the last day of
December, 1873, there were outstanding and
unpaid city and county revenue bonds to the
amount of nearly ten and half million dol
lars, instead of less than one million and a
half, as stated in the Mayors exhibit. Such
deceptive statements will not help the city s
failing credit or serve to save our present in
competent Finance Department from being
eventually swamped by its own mismanage-
ment The trick to which Mayor Havemeyer
has lent himself or of which he has been made
the victim is too shallow to deceive any per-
son capable of considering the subject of our
city finances. 1t is, in fact, exposed by the
very statements heretofore made by the FL
nance Department. In the Comptrollers
financial statement for 1873 dated on January
of that year, is the following exhibit Of the
city and county debt of 1871 and 1872, up to
January l, 1872 and January l., 1873, respec-

The ELECTION in the Twenty-first Assembly
district yesterday resulted in the triumph of
Mr.. Sullivan, Independent democrat over Mr..
Crary, Tammany, and Mr.. Allen, republican.
Mr. Sullivan is member of the jefferson
Club the political organization with which
Genet was associated The result has no
special significance, except as indicating the
strength of the Opposition to Tammany in
the uptown wards.

The THoRNDIKE MURDERER Gordon, has
at last received the fatal sentence which every
assassin should expect sooner or later. The
criminal annals Of Maine can scarcely furnish
o like horror to the butchery of the Thorndike
family by one connected with them by ties of
blood. Before the sentence of death was
pronounced the usual sophistry was INDUCED
in by the murderer and asseverations of in
nooence were abundant. Only in this city
can the crime of murder find advocates strong
enough to save the criminal from the gallows.
Money and responsibility, unfortunately are
in some cases regarded as the strongest argu-
ments in favor of a murderer in New York.

The SKATING SEASON was again in order last
night, and Parkwards the thoughts of all
lovers of this exhilarating sport were turned
with hopes that Jack Frost would not soon
resign his sceptre. The lake and ponds are in
excellent condition for the inevitable rush
which will take place to-day, and one days
skating at least, may be enjoyed with i'm
punity.

That UNLUCKY RAM.--After series of mis-
fortunes which would test the patience of Job
to the utmost the Arapiles and her crew have
at length reached the Battery. From the
time that the coal barge placed itself across
the foot Of the dock in which the Spanish
iron-clad was being repaired until the present
it would seem as if she could never get out of
New York Harbor. Between the mud which
for time held her hard and fast in its Shiny
embrace and the unauthorized butting pro-
pensities she exhibited when clear of that OBJ
struction the last days of the unfortunate ram
in this city have been anything but pleasant.
The Spanish officers will not soon forget the
anxiety and chagrin they experienced during
those exciting days previous to the Fish-Polo
protocol, and will be inclined to give New
York wide berth for the future. An un-
wieldy sea monster wallowing in Wallabout
mud, with dozen spiteful little tugs scream
ing around her, is not calculated to be agree
able to Spanish pride.

The New York pilots want the government

diminish in number to an alarming extent.
For the can and nun buoys, which through
insufhcient anchorage are liable to be cut
adrift by the Ice, it has been the custom to
substitute and sparingly at that, spar buoys.
Our pilots complain that in foggy weather it
is extremely difficult to get along with such
indicators OF the channels as they do not
easily catch the eye. The immense commerce.
which finds Its way to this port imperatively
demands the attention of the United States
Lighthouse Board to this important subject.
Yet they evade the responsibility by the faimsy
plea of want Of funds Surely the general
government should not risk the safety of the
numerous vessels arriving at and leaving our
harbor, especially the European steamers to
save few thousand dollars. 1t is absolutely
essential to the interests of navigation here
to have the channels properly buoyed, and a
grave responsibility lies at the doors of the
authorities in charge, and criminality, too, in
case of disaster. Economy in some other
quarter might be commendable, but in this
case it is in the highest degree reprehensible.
There is no reason why action should be de-
layed until the steamship companies combine
to place the harbor in proper condition for
navigation. As well might the police author

pilots will yet receive a favorable answer in

PRESIDENTIAL AspIRANTs. is a singu-
lar development Of American politics that
no sooner is man elected to one high
station than he is virtually nominated for
another by the charges of his enemies that he
desires it. A case in point is that of Governor
Booth, Of California. Before he was inaugu-
rated he was charged with seeking an election
as United States Senator. This has since
been accomplished, though he had pledged
himself to serve out his full term as Governor,
and now it is alleged that he is looking for the
Presidency. The Governor and Senator will
find good many people east Of the Rocky
Mountains with like aspirations, and it is not
likely he will be the first President from the
Pacific slope.

Mr.. GLADsroNEs hLNEss.-A cable de-
spatch informs us that the British Premier, Mr..
Gladstone, is indisposed and confined to his
home. William Ewart Gladstone is one of
the few really great statesmen of the day, and
his death at this juncture would be felt to be
great public calamity, not in Great Britain
only, but throughout the civilized world.
He has done great and good work.
the effect of which will be as lasting az
it is already beneficial. He has long been "a
potent voice in Parliament" and he has done
much ''to mould a mighty States decrees."
There is still, however, place for him in the
councils OF his sovereign, and much as he has
done he has still much to accomplish. In
the future of his country his name will be
remembered, and he will be spoken of as
occupying place in history not second to
that of Pitt or Peel.

This affords us at once clew to the mystery
and to the deception practised by the Comp

upon the public. Taking the statement of the
debt as it was on the last day of last Deem
Der, and comparing it with the Comptroller's
official statement of the debt as it existed on
the last day of December, 1871, and we reach
the following result -

We can understand from this the reason
why we are now paying three million dollars
more interest in 1873 than we paid in 1871,
and can properly appreciate such reform as
Mayor Havemeyer and Comptroller Green
have given u.s. But unfortunately, the state
ment of our debt, as given above, discourage
ing as it u.s. does not truthfully represent our
financial condition. We have a temporary or
floating debt, the amount of which is studi-
ously concealed by Comptroller Green. The
Commissioners of Accounts, whose duty it is
to examine the books and papers of the FL
nance Department, have been long attempting
to ascertain the extent of the city and county
liabilities in this direction, but have
met with annoying distractions, and
have not yet completed their labors.

LET THE PEOPLE SpEAK.-The people should
make their voices heard in favor of rapid
transit The subject is one of peculiar interest
to oil classes, and especially to those of limited
means. A steam railroad with cheap rate
of fare, would enable men not only to obtain
houses at cheaper rents, but to secure more
convenient and more pleasant homes. We only
need rapid transit to cover the upper part Of
New York, including the newly annexed ter
ritory, with comfortable residences within the
reach Of most of our business and laboring
men. This would empty the unhealthful tene-
ment' houses and set free large and i'm
portant portion of the city for business, which is
steadily and rapidly stretching up town. The
people should take up the subject, discuss it
and urge action upon the Legislature. They
can secure the great boon this year if they set
earnestly about the work.

Nere "niggers. In order to get
tKA sheriff out Of his place the mob
pre- etepded that his bond was not
good, and hence arrested him with
out any other than mob authority.
He proposed to give a new
and sufficient bond, but the
mob would not allow that.
They wanted him to resign, and this
they forced him to do under threats.
His friends In the country, hearing
of the trouble, came in to see how it
was and sustain the sheriff If he was
right. Some came and, of course,
determined to release and defend the
sheriff against the mob. They did
not attack the city. But the negroes
armed and unarmed alike, were shot
down or chased into the woods as
fast as they appeared. OF course
they returned few shots, and two
or three whites were wounded,
while two or three hundred blacks
were killed and wounded. And this
they dignity by calling 1t a war OF
races; and the Democratic press
heap the blame upon the blacks and
excuse and pallia.e the doings Of the
mob. They tell us the citizeps rose
in defense of their rights against the
ignorant aud thieving negro officers.
The whole business was in fact
piece of hellish diabolism upon the
part of the Golden Circle, kuklux,

fiends, who know no justice and
acknowledge no law but their own
devilish passions and their intense
hatred of the blacks and against ev-

The Democrat publishes circular
from Arkansas which has been dis
tributed all over the North, pretend
ing TO bear the signatures Of fifty or
more masters of Oranges, asserting
that all Is peaceful and lovely In that
State, and making believe that un-
der Democratic rule the year Of Jubi-
lee is to last forever. The only
trouble about that circular was that
it was a grand fraud. Here is rec
ord of a single days shooting In and
about Little Rock, as reported by the
daily press:
Thomas Dambond shot twice and
killed David Smith cause, domes-
tic trouble. James Sewell, merchant,
shot his partner, Harry Williams,
and killed him; cause, a personal
difficulty. A stage driver named
Wilson, blew out his brains; cause,
domestic trouble. Ed Strange farm
er, shot and killed Lester, saloon
keeper; cause, whiskey. A son-in-
law OF the Hon. Seth. Spangier, OF
Sabine county, was shot; cause and
murderer not stated, the affair being
probably unworthy Of more than
mere mention made by the happy
undertaken. All these occurrences
In one day point to the speedy estah-
lishment in Arkansas Of " Peace on
earth, and good will toward men,"
the anthem to that effect being sung
to what Artemus Ward calls The
sweet note of the revolver, and the
pleasant shrek Of the victim,"
which are daily heard In the land.
We make great fuss about half
dozen murders at our State capital
in as many years; but here are nearly
as many in one day at the peaceful
Democratic capital city Of Arkansas,
where they are making laws to en-
slave the negro again, and where
they have 80 many thousand Gran
grangers and so many masters to
certify that Heaven and Arkansas
are synonymous terms and that Ar
kansaw Democratic officials are all
deitied angels.
