HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

Especial Dispatch TO the Herald by Cable.I
VIENNA. Dec. %. 1875.-The Secretary
OF State Of the United States has
transmitted to every European Govern
ment d circular, dated in Washington,
asking an expression Of the views OF
each foreign executive regarding the
question Of American Intervention In
Cuba. sa'
The object Of the American Cabinet
Minister is the obtaining Of data to be
used in the preparation of President
Grants supplementary message to
Congress.
All the foreign Governments have
replied satisfactorily.
England is ready to indorse the inter-
ventiOn movement at the present mo.
ment.
The other nations express their
willingness to support Intervention, but
hesitate TO take the initiative.
The above dispatch appears In the
N. Y. Herald Of Wednesday morning.
II its contents be true, and there can be
little doubt OF it, the country should nc
longer fail to understand that unless
timely warning be taken by the business
interests and the common sense OF the
DcOPlS, W dLICot tuO V0oAAuBLOl
Vaccinations to plunge the United
States into q war with Spain, it will be
surely effected in the course Gof the
spring or summer. This elaborate
preparation for Intervention, by an Off.
cial consultation with European Cab.
inets, is first to bolster up Grants
special message on the subject, and
next apparently to justify the President
and the Radical party in issues Of war
in the pretense OF human freedom and
in defending American rights in Cuba
It may be that this now threatened
cloud may disperse itself after it has
served the purposes OF a Presidential
political campaign, more significant
and fundamental as regards the char.
acter Of our institutions, than even the
Lincoln canvass Of 1850. But the people
should be on their guard against the
probability Of being involved in difficult
ties Of the most serious kind In theil
own intrinsic character and conse'
quences.

THE PRESIDENTS AMBITION.

( The danger il not that the nation will,
Mt some future day, be deprived OF the
continued services OF the President II
wants. but that il is likely to have
forced upon it the President that 1t does
not want. OF course any argument for
a second term will also serve as an argu-
ment for u third, a fourth, or tenth.
In practice this danger will develop it.
self and increase in q regular progress
sion--the influence of the President
will become more powerful and that OF
the people less powerful, till ultimately
the point will be reached when the Gov
eminent will become a government OF
the President, for the President and by
the President. The patronage OF the
Office will be used to perpetuate the
power, OF its incumbent and all the
functions OF government be admins
tered with a regard first to his personal
designs. The Inevitable result would
be frightful era or jobbery, extrava-
gance, nepotism and arrogant disregard
OF decency and law, and as each sue
oessive election settled the President
more firmly In his seat, and gave him
a more absolute control Of the effective
machinery, the disgrace would increase
and the possibility of reform grow
fainter. It is against this most tangible
peril that the opponents Of third term
array themselves.
In answer to q number Of British
newspapers, which, as they fomented the
great and destructive conflict between
the North and the South some years
ago, are now urging Gen. Grant to grasp
regal power II possible, and to destroy
virtually the Republic, the New York
World presents the above brief but
cogent argument against the Third
Term. The London Spectator and other
kindred journals mask themselves, Of
course, behind line OF reasoning which
seems impartial and philosophical, and
comparatively innocuous and even
friendly. but their very fibres, as mat
ter both OF education and interest, are
interviewer with the English monarchi-
cal system, and they secretly dislike, dis
trust and are jealous of our institu-
tions.. Perhaps it would have been
quite enough to have said that
the theory of our Government
is strictly representative repub-
lican one, with 8 chief magistrate,
whose authority is carefully limited by
the law, and that the duration of his
Office Is infexibly confined by custom,
experience and example stronger than
statutes to two terms Of eight years.
The amount OF authority attached to his
function after an actual experience in
the workings OF the Government ,ras
not oonsideredt to be so important as his
retirement from the Presidencydf dfter t,co
terms. George Washington set forth

THR TRUTH AT LAST.

On the third pege Of the DEMocR Al,
printed conspicuously, will be found an
article taken from the last issue OF that
very accurate, plain spoken, and reli-
able paper, the New York Sun, as to
the isolation Of Mr.. Bristow In Pres
ident Grants Cabinet, and the hostile
feelings he has provoked with the
President on account or his exposure
Of some OF his fnvorites in the whisky
ring Investigations and his honest and
fearless determination to let no
guilty man escape"
The celebrated expression during
Grants first candidacy for. tho Presi.
Dental Office, "Let US have peace" was
followed, after his election, by the
dragooning Of every Southern State
with cavalry and infantry. We trust
that the words attributed to Grant re-
specting the unrelenting prosecution o1
the whisky thieves, "Let no guilty man
escape" do not promise as much to the
ear to break 1t to the hope, as was the case
respecting his first oracular declara
ton which he afterward construed tt
mean exactly the reverse OF what mos
people supposed he meant. He might
perhaps, have comfortably spared
friend or two, to the penitentiary, but
when the whisky ring investigations
kill Ford, Gagged Mcdonald and threaten
Babcock so fearfully, the thing becomes
little too serious, and Mr.. Bristov
still insisting on continuing the devel
opment OF the whisky frauds, no mat
ter who may be involved. 1t appears
according to the New York Sun, tina
the Secretary now stands alone in tn
Cabinet. The latest information is tina
even Mr.. Jewell has deserted him.
