One of the vagaries of party tactics that
seemed incomprehensible was the struggle
in the French Assembly over the life SEN
atorships, by which nearly all these places
were given to republicans of more or less ex-
treme convictions. BY the French mail we
get the details of the conflict, and it appears
that the result indicated was the conse-
quence of the course suddenly adopted by
the legitimists Their policy was, ''Any-
thing to beat the Orleanists." Between
the legitimists-t is, the party of the
Right-and the Orleanists, or Right Cen
tre-ever since the famous cooperation of
the oath of May, 1876, there had been amity,
with variations. 1t was by their joint action
that Theirs was overthrown on that day.
Both factions believed in the monarchy, and
so had great idea in common but they be-
leved in very different candidates, and so
had a perennial source of disagreement.
Logically, however, they were nearer to one
another than either was to any other party /;
and when they acted together they could
control the course of legislation. But the
legitimsts discovered the Orleanists to be
uncertain allies. From the point of view OF
the Orleans party the Right was good sup
port when an Orleans project was to be car
ried but when the legitimists thought their
castle assailed the Right Centre did not al
ways come to the rescue. 1t VIGOROUSLY
failed to keep its pact on the oath of Feb
ruary, when it fairly ran away from its allies
and voted for the establishment of the Re
public. ''It made the Republic" says NJ. de
Ia Rochette, of the Right, against the King
and against the royalists; and now that the
Republic is made il wishes to govern it. not
only against the King, but also against the
republicans" The Right Centre having
helped the republicans ordain that there
should be Centre, hoped that the royalists
would help them to secure for their own
party all the life places. Against this little
arrangement the legitimists boldly revolted,
and went over to the republicans with the
declaration that they preferred open enemies
to concealed ones Hence the republican
sweep

Mayor Wickham's second Annual Message
is solemn. prolix and rather empty docu-
ment, of which the main purpose seems to
be to convince the public that our city adj
ministration has reached such state of per-
lection under his reforming hand that the
Legislature need be in no haste to make any
changes This is n surprising piece of infor-
nation. The press of this city, without
distinction of party, has been complaining
throughout the year of the ineficiency of
almost every department of the city govern
ment and its news columns have teemed
with facts which justified its invectives,
1t is benevolent on the part of Mr. Wickham
to assure the people that they have had no
ground for discomfort. 1t seems that, after
all, we have not suffered from the perpetual
nuisance of filthy streets that there was
really no Harlem flats nuisance exhal-
ing malaria and poison last midsum-
mer that the police have done their
duty; that gambling and bawdy houses have
not infested the city, and that all the hid
eous abuses testified to before the Legisla-
tive Committee of Investigation were sheer
fctions If Mayor Wickham can persuade
the people that the city has been admir-
ably governed during the past year he may,
perhaps, silence the urgent demand for new
charter and a spring election The beautiful
harmony which has prevailed through the
year among the various municipal depart
ments, and especially between the Mayor
and the Comptroller, with their fire.
quent interchange of pleasant civil
ties in the Board of Apportionment, will
recur to most readers of the Message as odd
combinations of the roseate view which our
bland Mayor takes of our city affairs during
the past year. 1t is delightful to discover so
many reasons why the Legislature should be
''lost in wonder, love and praise" at the spec
tacle of so well governed q city. 1t
is to be lamented, however, that the
forthcoming report of the Legislative commit
tee, which has lately collected so much ugly
evidence should contradict and discredit
Mayor Wickham's pleasing pictures. The
truth is that our city government during the
year has been execrable in spite of the
Mayors whitewash.
There is a striking contrast between this
years and last years Message in the bearing
of the Mayor toward Comptroller Green.
The Message of last year was full of bitter
invectives against the Comptroller, who is
now treated by the Mayor with the most re-
spectful courtesy. The fierce lion of last
year now ''roars you as gently as a sucking
dove an 'twere any nightingale" What has
wrought so surprising change? Surely
nothing in the department of the Comp
troller; it is not he that has changed, but
the Mayor 1t is supposed that Mr.. Green
will have influence in the new Legislature,
and this may explain why the Mayor thinks
it polite to conciliate him. A comparison of
Mayor Wickhams two messages is rich in
curious suggestions.

ENGLISH TRAINING SHIPS. 1t is only q
fortnight since we were informed by cable of
the burning of the training ship Goliath on
the Thames, by which number of the boys
lost their lives; and now our special
dispatches tell us of the burning of
another on the same river This chain of
fatality seems unaccountable, unless we
accept the theory of our correspondent,
who is, doubtless well informed. The fire
ON the Goliath resulted from the explosion
of kerosene lamp, and there seems no
doubt that it was what is generally included
in the term accidental. The coilhagra-
ton unfortunately produced a boy hero.
and the praise he received and the
gold watch he was about to get, it
appears, slim lated the boys upon
the Warspite to such an extent
that they or one of them resolved on having
an opportunity to show their courage and
get praise and gold watches This is very
absurd to grown up people, but we must
remember how confidently the darkies of the
South believed in that mythical ''forty acres
and mule" from General Grant

the law in its relation to Sunday amusements-
To preserve order, the Court holds, is ito

and ''the established mode of proceeding for

done in charity pursuit of any occupa-

standard of these terms-is contrary to the
public peace, and may be interrupted and
stopped by the police. Our own Revised

The Millennium.

In our cable letter from London last Sun
day was included an abstract of the sermon
delivered by the Rev. Dr. Cumming at the
Scotch National church, on New Years Day,
in which that eminent clergyman repeated
his views, somewhat revised, of the mil
lennium. He warned his hearers to make
ready for its advent. The second coming OF
Christ on EARTH according to this prophet.
must happen before September, 1876 Mr..
Moody was quoted as one of the authorities
for this belief The Jews are to return 10
Judea this year. The Turks are to disappear
as a nation. Altogether, according to DIR.
Cumming, there are to be great doings
in the world during the memorable year
which is just begun.
More faith would be naturally placed in
DIR. Cummings predictions if they had not
been already weighed in the balance and found
wanting 1t has been his business for the
last quarter of century to periodically an
nounce the millennium, and his fate to have
his prophecies proved fallacies. The mil
lennium stubbornly refuses to come, though
called upon, like the spirits in the vastly
deep that Hotspur spoke of. This is an an
cient folly. During the prosecutions of the
early Christians and before the foundation OF
the Church in Rome the millennium was ex-
pected. 1t was constantly impending dur
ing the Dark Ages Scores of pious calcu-
lators, whose brains were muddled by long
study of the signs in the Apocalypse and the
mystical numbers on the forehead of the
beast, have predicted the acts of Heaven
with more ease and certainty than if they had
been making the tables for next years al
manac. 1t is the old story of mans self
conceit and the credulity of the ignorant
multitude.
Years ago these predictions worked great
harm. The Millerite excitement in America
and London sent hundreds of pious and
weak-minded individuals to the lunatic asy-
lums and caused unreasonable distress in
families. Now they do less harm, tor the
standing of Dr. Cumming and his rivals in
biblical Interpretation has been injured by
their utter failures. Besides this, science
has enlightened the people. Astronomers
like Mr.. Proctor calculate that the earth will
be habitable for a million years. The
prophets cry out in vain to intelligent and
trustful Christians, who are content to
accept the good which is given to them by
Heaven, and have not presumption enough
to think they are admitted into the councils
of the Omniscient. DR.. Cumming can do
little harm by this old, foolish, wicked proc
lamation of the coming of the end of the
world. Here in America we have the Cen
tennial, and we ask all the world
to come to us and see the result of
century of freedom. The International
Exhibition will do more to hasten the true
millennium than all the prophecies that have
been made from the days of Joanna South
colt to those of the Rev. Dr. Cumming.

Mayor Schroeder, of Brooklyn, has opened
his official term with Message to the Com
mon Council which contains many excellent
hints, comments and suggestions AS re-
form Mayor he can, of course well afford to
denounce the doings of the Ring; and,
while he wishes TO see official malfeasance
punished, he is DESTROYS that the city should
complete the improvements already begun,
but in such manner as to give the tax
payers a full return in value for their ex-
penditures. He speaks in deprecatory terms
of the system of issuing city bonds for every
local improvement, and lays down plan
by which the city can have its improvements
carried on while paying as it goes. This
plan is certainly safe, but as the Mayor,
doubtless, well knows, it has its limits.
He is, however, right when he says,
Legislation procured at Albany by par
ties directly benefited has often resulted
in saddling the city at large with bills they
should have paid" The bond system, as it
has been administered, is indeed an open
door to the treasury, and allows the public
moneys to be squandered at rate that would
never be tolerated if the sums were drawn
forth in the shape of taxation for the princi-
pal instead of the interest; but its abuse is not
an argument against its utility. The Mayor
looks carefully over the departments and
makes many useful recomme ndations. His
position on the reservoir question is sound
one The contractors, who expended the
entire appropriation upon excavations and
sue for a further sum, have left the work in
such a condition that it is of no service to
the city. 1t is without a dam, but the Mayor
thinks it worth one, even as it is at
present, and believes that the Common
Council have the legal power to order the
work of building it to proceed at the city's
expense. He calls attention to New York's
failure to provide its share of the bridge ex-
pense He feels that the times preach their
own lesson of economy that the citizens
will, therefore, watch their public servants
with greater keenness, and that the day has
come 'when criminality in public office shall
no longer go UNPUBLISHED" SO may it be.
