Our Paris Cable Letter.

The French capital, about to escape from
Lenten restraint, is just now in its best
humor, for the prospect of general enjoy
ment is rs humanity goes, often more
pleasurable than the realization. The recess
of the Versailles Parliament, however, gives
genuine relief to nervous people, who
are still prepared to hear an explo-
sion any day since there has been
republican majority, and the chill
dren can crack their 0ys de Paqucs
without fear of the shells bursting as they
used to in the days of the siege. The pro-
duction Of successful opera, lie Moulin
Vert" reminds us how prolific Paris has
become in this specially. When we hear
that Boucicault has again placed his name
upon Partisan Playful it speaks to us of
the eternal balances Of time, for the versatile
Dion, whose motto is ''Je prends mon
bien on Je le troure," has taken so much
from France that it is equitable he
should attempt restitution. But if
he was to undertake the repayment of oil he
owes there it would take him half century,
and the Parisians must therefore take the
will for the deed In noting the produce
ton Of ..Arrah-na-Pogue' on the Partisan
boards it is but fair to Mr.. Boucicault to
recall that the honor of having his work as
an English dranatist played in French is
one that lie shares almost alone with Shake
speare. The billiard players have managed
to get up little international teapot tenn
pest in Paris, from which,w suppose, some
body designs to reap profit in the shape of
free advertising.

The fact that the President has selected
Mr.. Conkling as the candidate of the repub-
licans whose nomination and election would
best give expression to the ideas Of his adj
ministration and be its best vindication,
seems to be accepted by all members of the
party. This accounts for the general falling
into line of the old regular troops OF the or
ganization. If the President is sincere in
his devotion to Mr.. Conkling he should
initiate the example Of Jackson and insist
that there shall be harmony in his Cabinet
on this question of the succession.
When Andrew Jackson declared he would
have no one in his Cabinet who would
not keep out of the fight for the Pres
idency he showed that he meant to
have Cabinet that would be his
own and not that of a cabal. So, when
he detected Calhoun intrigue, he smashed
his Cabinet and summoned men around him
who were true to his own ideas and sup
ported his own candidates.
The trouble with our Cabinet, SO far as the
President is concerned, is that there is
contest for his Succession among the
members which interferes with his
purpose to serve Mr. Conkling
There for instance, is Mr.. Fish, most
estimable gentleman, whose friends would
like to run him, and who, if he were to run,
would poll q large vote that might otherwise
go to the democrats. There is Mr.. Jewell, o
handsome and winning man, who has q
strength in New England that should not be
despised. Now, neither Mr.. Fish nor Mr.
Jewell can in their hearts give loyal sup
port to Mr. Conkling. More than all, there
is the Secretary Of the Treasury who is
known to be an active and powerful rival of
Mr.. Conkling. Why should he be allowed
to use the vast power of the Treasury for his
own advancement when the President is
bent upon having Mr.. Conkling nominated !?
The fear is that if the President permits this
to go on there may be feeling in the mind of
many of Mr.. Conkling's supporters that he
is not sincere in his friendship, that he may
have "dark horse" of his own to run-a
horse that has not been named, and that may
come on the course at the last moment to
surprise us all.

Eastertide marks distinct epoch in the
London theatrical year, just as Christmas
does, those managers that have new enter
tainments to offer making point of preserv-
ing them for the great flow of British
holiday seekers. The rush of theatrical an
nouncements which our letter bears includes
two such names as Rossi and Janauschek;
''Queen Mary" too, is to undergo the trial
by footlights, and these will go long way
to condone the nnmeless nonsense which is
produced at great many of the houses
where cockneys are delighted. The debut
of an American prima donna at Coyent
Garden last night is an event in itself,
and that the venture is pronounced sue
cessful will crafty Americans who
are hopeful of our art progress. That the
Oriental spectre should cause worry in Lon
don we cannot wonder, when we reflect how
many thousands Of Englishmen have in
vested their money in Turkish and Egyptian
bonds. The craze for high interest
is likely to receive check when the
risk that usually accompanies it has
received a fresh illustration in Turk
ish insolvency and Egyptian chaos. The
Porte's threat to stop all payments and
arm the Mohammedans is really formid-
able one to Europe; but if it is attempted
the world will soon see the end Of the
European anomaly.

The Festival of the Resurrection win be
celebrated in the churches to-day, and the
services in this city will be more or
nate than usual. AT st. Patricks
Cathedral, st. AIMS church, in Twelfth
street st. Francis Xav:ers church, in
in Twenty eighth street, and the other
Catholic churches, and at Trinity, Grace St.
Thomas and st. Adams Episcopal churches,
besides many others, the musical programme
will be unusually attractive, and the joyful
festival will be celebrated. even in Catho-
lie and Protestant churches, with more than
the usual pomp. The reason of this is plain,
for from the earliest period of Christianity
Easter has been the queen of our religious
festivals 1t is the day on which, according
to ancient practice, it was customary to
exclaim, .'Christ is risen r and it conse-
quently to be expected that the ceremonials
Of the Church should be more elaborate than
on any other day in the year. In Rome
especially the religious pageantry is of the
grandest kind, and the grandeur Of ST.
Peters is reflected throughout the Catholic
world 1t is to be remarked, however, that
with us the popular customs of Easter have
disappeared, and, aside from the religious
services and the absurdity Of easter eggs"
there is nothing to distinguish the festival
from that Of any other in the Christian cal
endar. This is for the better, perhaps, as
the effect is to make it what it ought to be-
simply the Feast of the Resurrection. With
every nation it was customary to have a
spring-time festival, but with rs the season
has higher significance, as it is the day ca
which all Christian people celebrate the
rising of that Saviour who is the hope and
trust of every believer in the new dispense
ton. This is what makes Easter so full of
JOY and lifts it SO far above the festival Of
spring. which it was before the Western ma
tons learned to be Christians and five take
these thoughts with us to church to-day
we shall be all the better and happier in the
religion which Easter does SO much to
honor

treat our buried veterans, who have been
''cared for by generous. government" We
do not venture to say, for fear of misleading
His Majesty. but Belknap has nothing to
conceal now, and he might tell how much
has been robbed from the living and the
dead by this model administration. Az q
student concerned in American his
tory Dom Pedro may be anxious to
know what we are doing for our
Indian wards on the Plains. There is no one
more competent to instruct him than Orville
Grant, the Presidents own brother, unless
it may be Mr.. Delano, who once came near
being Secretary Of the Treasury as the one
man the President delighted to honor He
can learn how we have robbed, starved and
killed the Indians how we make wars to
suit jobbers, and how the poor savages must
starve that the post traders in partnership
with Orville Grant may have int dividends.
His Majesty, as scholar and thinker
anxious to apply the results of his observa-
tons and meditations to the welfare of his
themes. The more he studies them the
more he will know. If he is at q loss for
knowledge Mr. Clymer and other well
informed gentlemen may instruct him. They
are opening from day to day new sources
of enlightenment So if His Majesty is
not compelled to hurry back to his rich,
vast and beautiful Empire, he may learn
many new and strange things For while,
as the character in the novel says, we are
"the intellect and the virtue Of the earth and
the cream of human nature, we are good
deal more. There. may be tender emotions
in the breast of potentate not above the
sentiment of history as he stands in the Hall
of Independence and by the grave of WASH
ington. But Dom Pedro must not do us the
injustice of supposing that we have no other
attractions. There is Tweed's new Court
House, one Of the wonders Of the world
building that we may well say has been
the source of more care and expense than
the Pyramids of Egypt The Pyramids are
finished, but our monument stands as type
of what America can do in the way of public
adornment when she once makes up her
mind. If those who guide the Emperor are
remiss in instruction His Majesty will find
many things in our newspapers which he
has not known in Brazil. Nor must he neg
lect the information about the coun-
try, the people, the rulers, the poll
ticians and each other which editors are
delighted to afford mankind. There is such
thing as seeing country from railway
window and from dinner table. But we
trust His Majesty will have the widest field
of study and observation. Whether he will
say in the end that we are an eagle or lion
or the greatest Of nations we do not venture
to predict, but he will certainly 60 back to
Brazil much wiser Emperor than when he
came, with great deal to tell to his royal
brethren over the seas that has been only half
told already.

The city charter Commission.

This commission, appointed by the Gov
ernor SO late that effective steps under it's
recommendation were impossible, has asked
for ON extension Of time till the next session
of the Lcgislature--the only possible course
in the circumstances. There is one phrase
in their request which shows that they have
a right perception of the main difficulty in
the case before them. They recognize that
any remedy for misgovernment here must be
ssintrenched in the constitution" to be Of
any value. All the evils We suffer flow from
the fact that the great patronage of our city
government has made it a party football If
the republicans are in power they construct
. charter for us, the principal object of which
is to make Offices that shall be filled in such
q way that republicans will get in, and they
abolish the Offices held by democrats. If the
democrats get hold Of the Legislature, either
at the polls or by purchase, they upset all
that has been done and make charter the
other way. So We go, year in and year out;
but to put the principles on which the cities
Of the State shall be governed into the con-
stitution, and therefore out Of reach of the
Legislature, cannot but benefit us in this
respect.

Ex-PnEsrDESr CAsrErAR's VIEWS on the
war feeling in Europe, which we present
elsewhere, form most interesting and in
structive study. The brilliant Spanish
statesman calmly surveys the whole political
horizon listens to the uneasy rumors heard
on all sides, sees the various Powers strug-
Cling for supremacy, as the individuals Of a
community striving for wealth and position.
He looks upon the rivalries between France
and Germany rs distant source of trouble,
and marks the instruction in the Herzego-
vina rs the cloud which, mo bigger than a
mans hand" now, threatens to overshadow
the whole European Continent with disaster.
He beholds Italy at peace, having within her
borders an infallible Pontiff, a monarch who
has learned to respect the will Of the
people and support the tribune, and a
