his Message: heated Presidential con-
test has not been followed, as is customary,

of the defeated party to the result. But there
is no present reason for forebodings. Parti-

Tho Reds in Germany.

Some apprehension is reported MS felt in
Berlin because the elections for members
of the popular house Of the German Parlia-
ment have resulted in adding sensibly to
the strength in that body of the party Of
'ssocial democrats" These apprehensions
are irrational, whether they contemplate the
fact as an evidence of the growth of party
deemed inimical to the established order of
society, or whether they contemplate any
presumed immediate danger from the
success of this party at the polls. 1t appears
certain that the increased representation OBJ
tanned by this party is not due to On abso-
lutte increase of its vote, but only to rela-
tive increase consequent upon the fact that
the people generally were Indifferent to the
election and stayed at home. On such oc-
casions extremists of any kind obtain ad-
vantages. But the strength Of the German
government is underrated by any person
who believes these agitators could prove
dangerous, though twice as strong as they
really are.

The situation In Louisiana.

The Nichols party hold their previous
advantages, and if two days more should
pass without breach of the peace, calling
for the Intervention of General Augur's
troops, the democrats will probably have
gained complete possession of the State
government. This success is likely to come
by the weakening and disintegration Of the
Packard Legislature, which has no quorum
in the Senate and bare quorum in the
House. Two members of the Packard House
deserted yesterday, and more desertions are
likely to follow to-day or tomorrow. AS
soon as the Nichols party shall have ac-
quired by these desertions from the other
side quorum of both branches OF the Legis-
lature and a good working majority there
will De no further trouble, unless the federal
authority should interfere, which is not ex-
pected Governor Nichols only needs an
unquestionable Legislature, which recog-
nizes his authority, to give his party full
control of the State government. The
Metropolitan police ore in even q more
shaky condition than the Packard Legis-
lature They look with longing eyes across
the political chasm, debating with them
selves whether the time has not come to
overleap it and make peace with the victors
before it is too late. The only chance OF the
Packard party consists in getting up a con-
flict and bringing in the federal troops.
Yesterday they planned an assault on the
Court House with view to recapture it from
the democrats, but their courage failed them.
They have erected new barricades in the
State House, piling up the law library to
make wall, so that in one sense the
law stands between them and harm.
The democrats, on their side, have strength
ened their defences at the Court House, and
are prepared to repel the assault OF Pack
ard s men if it should be made The local
public opinion of the best classes in New
Orleans preponderates so strongly in ia
vor of the Nichols side that the Packard
position will weaken every day unless Pres
ident Grant should change his mind and in
terfere If he continues to stand aloof until
the middle of next week the Nichols gov
eminent will be fully established and be ac-
cepted by the people of the State.

Deei.iv. steps in Europe.

It does not appear what the decisive
steps" may be which it is thought the
Powers will take with regard to Turkey in
the event of the Conference failing alto
gether, but it is unlikely that they will be
oil that may seem desirable in the way OF
decisiveness Strange as it may appear
that all Europe should be in agreement as
to what should be required of Turkey, and
yet not be prepared to exact the adoption
of the measures it proposes, there is the
least possible probability that the steps to
be taken will reach the verge of war.
If all the Powers should initiate the action
that it is reported Germany will take and
suspend diplomatic relations by the with
drawal of their representatives it may be
deemed an extreme measure in the circum-
stances But we do not see any reason to
believe that this would seriously disturb
the Turks It would not even interfere
with the placing of Turkish loans; for it
would be believed in London, just as it is
now believed in Constantinople, that the
interests of England in Turkeys fate are too
deep and positive for them to be really
affected by measures which the government
may from time to time deem that it is forced
to take by the exigencies of the European
concert"

Senator Kernan's Good Sense.

The wild speeches of Mr.. Watterson and
others at the 8th of January meeting in
Washington were accompanied with IN ex-
cellent antidote in the wise, patriotic letter
of Senator Herman read to the same meet
ing. It was q violent partisan meeting,
whose purpose was tersely expressed in o
single sentence of the speech of Mr.. Pulitzer,
who said, Samuel J. Tilden is the President
elect He must be inaugurated." (Tremen-
dous cheering.) This conclusion was en-
bellished with great deal of bellicose
rhetoric by several speakers, to which Mr..
Watterson contributed his share. Mr.. Wat
terson said that ''if it should become neces-
sary that they should have leader, another
jackson stands ready to take his life in his
hand and to make their case his own.
prolonged applause.) If Mr.. Tilden has a
majority, then-and this is as Old Hickory
would put it and mean it-by the Eternal,
he shall be inaugurated J" (Applause. }
These brief extracts faithfully reflect the
spirit of that intemperate partisan gathering,
and we turn with a sense of relief from the
inhammatory speeches of the orators to the
moderate and decorous letter of Senator Ker-
nan, who gave the meeting this wise but
disregarded counsel :-"By ignoring partisan
considerations, by adhering to the consti-
tuition and the laws as their rule OF
action, and by examining and considering
these questions in q spirit of moderation,
fairness and firmness, they will reach de-
cision which will be founded ON truth and
Justice, and which will command the acqui-
escence of all good citizens. The attainment
of this most desirable result will be fur
thered by restraining party heat and
partisan passions and by appeals to the good
sense and patriotism of our people of all
political parties and of every section Of the
country"

Mac.ulay as a cassandra.

We reprint the greater part OF letter
written by Macaulay to an American
author twenty years since, which then had
q wide circulation in the American press.
This letter, with others. from Lord Macau-
lay to the same American correspondent, is
soon to be printed in popular periodical.
In the present condition of our affairs its
gloomy view Of our institutions may seem
prophetic but most Americans will con-
tinue to think that Macaulay was dressing up
a chimera. At any rate our present trouble
does not arise out Of conflict between the
rich and the poor, which is the rock on
which Macaulay thought our Republic is des-
tined to go to pieces. The present contro-
versy merely discloses grave defect in that
part of our constitution which relates to the
election of the President-a defect that will,
no doubt. be remedied within the ensuing
four years. With this change, of which the
want has never been seriously felt until now,
and q further change making the civil
service, like the military service, per-
manent, and limiting the Presidents
patronage 20 the filling of vacancies,
we see no reason why our institutions may
not be as successful for the next three GEN.
turies as they have been for tho last. In
country where there is neither primogeni-
ture nor entails the division of estates on
the death of owners insures wide diffusion
of property, which is our chief safeguard
against the evils predicted by Macaulay.
He was misled by reasoning from an English
standpoint as was natural to man
living in country where the laws are cal
culated to keep property in the same fami-
lies from generation to generation by
making the oldest son the principal heir.
No other government than republic is per-
manently possible in o country where
estates are broken up and distributed among
all the children, and where wills are more
or less colored by the equal division
which the law makes of the property Of
intestates The French Revolution estab-
lished q similar division of estates, and the
consequence is that France in all her muta-
tions has steadily gravitated toward
q republic, until it has become pretty gen.
eral conviction that no other government is
possible in that country All Europe, Eng
land included, is tending more and more
toward popular institutions Macaulny,
who lived in the past and had no foresight,
never showed so much political narrowness
as in his noteworthy letter to the author OF

The Now Territory.

The Park Commissioners plans for laying
out the annexed district are now completed,
and synopsis Of the landscape architect
and engineer is published in the HERALD to-
day. The maps of the first section, between
Riverdale avenue and the Hudson River,
from Kingsbridge to Yonkers, are now open
to the examination of property owners at the
engineers office, Arsenal, Central Park.
The other sections will follow in rapid
succession, tho second being from
Riverdale avenue eastward to Central
avenue; the third from Fordham Heights at
Harlem River to Jerome. avenue, and the
fourth including the region west of the
Bronx, below West Farms. The present
plan follows ont the ideas OF the report mado
by the President Of the Park Commission in
March, 1875, upon which the former plans
were rejected. The underlying principle of
the project is to make the district sort OF
suburban addition to the city, over which
handsome residences will spring up, and
through which will run picturesque and
winding roads, easy and pleasurable for
drives shaded by trees, and free from the
dull, insipid uniformity of city streets. by
such plan it is expected that the property
can be best enhanced in value, thus re-

his possession generally passes through New

remain in the city, burden on the cominu-'

York to bear the expense of protecting the
well-to-do immigrants who carry their
money and their labor elsewhere, and of
maintaining the sick, the helpless and the
penniless, who cannot be left to perish in
the streets. Again, the emigrant lines are
by no means particular how many paupers
they bring to the United States. Is it un-
just to hold them responsible for the care
and maintenance of such people, or to require
them to protect the citizens against the risk
Of the burden by the payment Of head
money tax? These are the questions to be
decided. Something must be done to pro-
tect the immigrant landing in New York.
Something ought to be done to protect the
taxpayers of New York from an unequal

immigrants Exactly what is the most just
and expedient method of reaching these re-
suits is the question to which the attention

The New York herald., 1877-01-12

How snail AmmlSramtS Be CnrcO FOR
There is much diversity of opinion aoto
the merits of the bill requiring the emigr1nt
steamship lines to pay head money tax on
immigrants landed in the United States, 1t
is argued by some that such q tax is wrong
in principle, and that a country which in
vites and profits by immigration cannotin
justice meet the immigrant with tax for the
privilege of landing on American SOIL But
this is sentimental objection, since the
head money is not paid by the immigrant,
but by the steamship companies. The abo-
lition of the head money tax in New York,
through tho decision of the Supreme Court
pronouncing the State law unconstitutional,
was not followed by any reduction in the
rates of emigrant passage, and its reimposi-
ton through United States law would not
increase those rates, which are regulated,
like all other traffic, by competition.
The State laws requiring the payment of
head money by the steamship lines we're re-
garded as Objectionable here mainly be-
cause heavier tax was necessarily imposed
in New York than in other States, and this
was believed to be calculated to drive steam
ship lines to other seaports. uniform tax,
imposed under the authority Of the United
States, would not be open to this local OBJ
lection. The immigrants who land in n
large city like New York, thousands of them
unable to understand word Of English,
are necessarily subjected to great dangers.
