Chambord's Faith.

The Count de Chambord, heir to the throne
Of France as Henry v, has written letter to
his faithful follower, NJ Belcastel, to the
effect that he still has hopes that France VIII
summon him to the throne of his ancestors.
Although everything looks toward republic
in France, and although the influence of Ger
many. SO far as it can affect French politics,
would be against the accession of prince who
believed in the claims Of the Holy See, still
everything is possible in a country which has
seen SO many governments IN the past century.
II is hard to see upon what foundation the
Bonrbon's hopes rest It is now nearly half
a century since Bourbon lived in the Tuil.
cries. The restoration was a misfortune to the
Bourbon throne. 1t was what might be called
a new trial OF the family which ended IN sum.
mary dismissal as unworthy of the throne.
Count de Chambord has no personal quality
to render him attractive to France. He Is
stout, middle-aged, somewhat lame gentleman,
who has spent his life in writing letters and
gong to confession. He might have been the
King of France if he had not staked his crown
upon the color of his flag. There were two
opportunities for the Count de Chambord-
one when France, in the panic of surrender
and humiliation after Sedan, elected Ma
tional Assembly largely composed Of Bourbou
dukes andt their followers The other oppor-
tunity was when Marshal MacMahon indicated
his Willingness to take the Count de Cham
bord if he would give Francs the tricolored
flag. Since that time the march of events has
been directly against the Bourbons. The
Assembly, which would have welcomed him
as King, has, by slow process. been led into
the proclamation of Republic. There are
but two parties in France with any positive
personal strength. The one is the Bona
partst, the other the republican. The next
election will be between these parties. The
republicans will probably carry France, be-
cause they will have the active aid OF the
royalists and the passive aid of the leBiti'
mists. They hope by continuing the Republic
to keep the door open for the Count de Paris
or the Count de Chambord, while the
proclamation of an emperor means that there
shall be but one throne of France, and the
prince to occupy it Bonaparte, not
Bourbon.

The Repaving and Cleaning OF the
streets Of New York.

If the Legislature should adjourn, after its
protracted session, without passing laws pro-
viding for the repaving and the proper clean
ing OF the streets OF New York it will be guilty
of gross injustice toward our citizens I'm
der the existing charter it is found impossible
to undertake comprehensive system of street
improvement The lower part of the city
suffers great injury from the wretched condi-
ton Of tho pavcments Business is inter
rupted, and in some instances almost de-
stroyed, by the Instructions to travel and the
impossibility OF dragging heavy loads over
the roads, While taxpayers down town are
called upon to bear their proportion of the
expenses of uptown improvements they find
their own property deteriorated from the want
of absolutely necessary repairs to the streets
on which it is located, and no sufficient power
exists in the city government to afford them
relief A bill to provide for the requirement.
of the streets Of the city has been Tor some
time before the Legislature, but its prog
ress has been unaccountably slow, and
we find it at this late day reported from The
Committee on Cities in the Senate, with a
number OF amendments. AS it at present
stands it authorizes the requirement. of the
old streets at the general expense, when the
Commissioner of Public Works, the Mayor
and the Common Council agree that the work
ought to be done, and it gives the selection of
the sort Of pavement to be used TO the said
Commissioner and places the work under his
control. We do not see any objection to these
provisions, and as the necessity OF passing
some law under which we can secure the re-
pair OF the downtown streets is conceded it
is to be hoped that the bill as reported in the
Senate will be passed before the adjournment.
The street cleaning abuse is patent to all
our citizens. We are forced 10 pay nearly or
quite a million dollars year for street clean
ing, and the work is never done, the money
being used as sort Of political pauper
fund. Ignorance incapacity and dis
honesty have been found heretofore in our
street cleaning business. and we can
hope for no improvement until the system is
radically changed. II has been proposed that
the present law no abolished, and that an act
be passed compelling the property owners to
do the street cleaning themselves at their own
expense under heavy penalty for neglect.
Considering the manner in which the money
4 appropriated to the work is now used the ex-
\ penso Of this system would probably be less
than under the existing method, and certainly
the work would be better done. But if this
experiment is not to be tried We should
at least have some change from the present
system.

that this whole movement to the sea was one
Of Grants grandest conceptions.
We do not see how General Sherman could,
especially with the evidence which he presents
in his memoirs" remain quiet while the adj
mirers Of General Grant were steadily depriv-
ing him Of his reputation. General Sherman
simply shows by letters and dispatches which
are matters Of record, and, of course, by his
own averments. that the march to the sea was
his own conception that General Grant OPP
posed it at first, being anxious he should at
tack Hood that Grant only consented to it
after repeated urgency on Sherman's part.
He shows, further, that the capture of
Savannah was General Sherman's act and
that General Grant orders would have taken
the army of west from Georgia and left
Savannah in the hands of the rebels, Il
General Sherman had not successfully pro-
tested. We should be glad to have General
our correspondent believes to be his purpose.
They ara rapidly passing into history The
names of those who acted in them will never
die so long as the annals of this Republic are
read Far be it from US to take away one
laurel that rests, and justly rests, upon the
brow of the President. 1t would be unworthy
of him and unworthy of his fame to even, by
implication, consent to deprive Sherman of
his justly acquired triumphs. We can only
understand the feeling in Washington which
our correspondent SO graphically describes
as another phase of that adulation which Off
GERS in the army as well as other place-holders
are only too willing to heap upon the Presi-
dent the dispenser of power. What we wish,
however, is truth, not fattery. If General
Sherman has not told the truth let it be made
manifest. AS the controversy stands now he
has simply done his duty like a gentleman
and a soldier. He has only conttoyerted i'm
pressions for which General Badeau, Charles
A. Dana and others are responsible. 1t re-
mains for those who dissent from his opinions

The President Appcnled To.

There Is something almost painful in the
journey of the Sioux chiefs to Washington.
AS stated in our dispatches, they called at the
Interior Department yesterday and had for
NAL but brief interview with Commissioner
Smith. 1t will be remembered that when
these chiefs complained at Omaha that the
Indian agents had compelled them to lake
with them interpreters who would present
only the smooth side of any picture, they
were termed band of liars bent on an errand
Of SANDER, and that determination was the
mlldest punishment they should expect. Red
Cloud has turned the tables on his enemies
however, for said he yesterday, "When /
speak always call on the Great Spirit to
hear me- because tellthe truth. The white
man tell me lies" He became troubled in
his mind about tho constant lying and de-
termined to journey to Washington to tell the
Great Father oil about it.
There are certain general facts about the
Indian question that no one will dispute.
These agents have for years and years made
vast sums of money. The Indians under
their care have either been exterrninated or
which ended in their massacre. Steadily from
year to year our Indian system has driven the
red man West and has almost o5literated the
ancient tribes, and has been an advantage to
no one except the Indian agents. The only
way these agents could make money is by
robbing the Indians and cheating the govern
ment We know enough of the power of
rings of this kind over our administration to
fear that the government is perfectly helpless,
unless the President will deal as promptly
with the Indian frauds as he has dealt with
the frauds upon the revenue.
II is due to President Grant to say that he
has never hesitated to strike blow at any
system in the government, no matter how
powerful if it could be shown that it was
stained with corruption. Here he has
splendid opportunity. Whatever we may
think of the Indian character and of its GER
tain sad future, the sentiment has gone deep
into the American mind that We have, either
actively OF by our neglect, treated the Indian
i'll q perfdious manner. These poor savage
chiefs who come on their wandering errand to
the East have a story to tell of wrongs un-
speakable, of infan1ies that would scarcely
be credited, Of policy toward them
and their ancestors which has no parallel
for baseness in the history of CRIME. DELHI
erately, for purposes of gain, in violation of
our pledges and our treaties and humanity
itself, we have permitted these Indian agents
to fasten upon the tribes that once owned this
Continent like vampires and to suck their
blood for their own nourishment. The agents
have grown rich and great and powerful,
while the Indian has melted away. The err
rand of Red Cloud to President Grant is
almost rnournful in its tenderness and pathos-
We trust that the President will feel, in deal
ing with these chiefs, that he represents in
its highest sense, the justice and humanity Of
the American people.

The constantly recurring steamship dis
asters on the nigh seas, painful as they are,
might in the end become blessing If every
calamity could be made lesson. Last year,
when the world was shocked by the disaster
to the Vile du Havre, the HERALD urged
upon the steamship companies to establish
system Of 'steam lanes !" in other words, to
lay out certain track across the
ocean. south Of the range II ice,
to b. not more than twenty miles in
breadth over which all steamers shoud sail.
The effect Of this would be that with the
large number OF steamers leaving our ports,
especially during the summer season, there
would practically be vessel always in sight.
Therefore, in the case Of sudden calamity like
that Of the Vile du Havre the chances of es-
cape would be largely increased. In the
event Of the steamship companies not con-
senling to this measure, We then felt II the
