General Grant In Europe.

Our telegram by cable announces that the
Indiana, with General Grant and party on
board, arrived at Queenstown yesterday, on
her way to Liverpool, at which port she will
arrive to-day. 1t was not in the programme,
SO far as we know, that the General should
go ashore at Queenstown and, therefore, it
must be in simple pursuance of his plan
that he remained on the ship to her port of
final destination, where q warm welcome
and brilliant Inequalities await him. Had
chance been afforded the people of any
Irish city by his passage through that coun-
try the exuberant sympathy of Ireland for
America would doubtless have multiplied
itself in manifestations Of welcome to the
great commander. As it happens, however,
that he lands first on English soil his well
come to Europe will be given in the more
deliberate ceremonial of English banquets,
with probably not less heartiness and good
will tf

From sta m boul to vnrna.

The graphic letter from HERALD cor
respondent, descriptive of trip by sea
from Constantinople to varna, which will
be found elsewhere, gives capital idea of
the latter important Turkish port and
fortress on the Black Sea. Although the
probable intention Of the Russians to cross
the Danube to tho west of Rustchuk OBJ
viously places varna in the background, so
for as immediate operations are concerned
it must be remembered that it Is one Of the
four points of the Turkish quadrilateral--
Rustchuk, Silistria, Shumla and varna-
all OF which must be either taken or masked
before the Russians can be quite safe in
crossing the Balkans 1t is probable, if the
left flank of the Turkish army is turned
and Rustchuk and Silistria should fall, that
the last great fights of the war in Turkey
in Europe will take place along the line Of
railroad from Silistria to varna. The rail-
road passes near Shumla, which is very
strong, but the fall Of even that fortress
would still leave varna, and there, protected
from the sea by the powerful Turkish feet,
perhaps the most obstinate defence Of the
whole campaign could be made. On its
belt Of outlying forts, manned by stout
hearted Moslems fred with fanatical zeal,

cheap Comforts i'm the Park.

We publish elsewhere an interesting arti-
Gle upon the management of the Central
Park restaurants and the charges for
the goat wagons, donkey rides, hobby
horses and merry go-rounds, in which
both the old and young frequent
ers Of our city pleasure ground find
amusement. As the Park was created for
the use of the people, and is supported by
them, they should have its pleasures at the
least cost. The privileges granted to ven
ders Of any kind Of entertainment should
be carefully restricted, so that the public
cannot be imposed on. The general man
agement of the Park is excellent, but the
Commissioners might, with advantage, give
special attention to the manner in which
the restaurants ore at present conducted.
Places ut which visitors can dine or sup are
indispensable to the Park, and, of course, q
fair profit must be conceded to their con-
ductors; but under the existing system
the profits are altogether too large.
Instead Of the prices being less in the
Park than in the city, as they should
be, they are in many cases more. As
there is no competition on the ground
visitors are obliged to pay what is
demanded or to feast upon the beau
ties of nature alone. It is not the
true policy, of course, 10 seek to
make money out Of the restaurants for the
benefit Of the Park fund, but, on the con-
trary, they should be considered essential
elements of the public enjoyment For
this reason we think that the restaurants
should be given, rent free, to competent
and faithful caterers on the absolute condi-
ton that they shall supply the best food
at the lowest possible rates. This should be
a matter Of contract, and the Commissioners
should reserve the right to cancel the lease
Of any restaurant in which the agreement is
violated. Inferior food at exorbitant prices
ought not to be longer tolerated in the
pleasure ground of the people, and we hope
to see the reform begun and established at

Swinging Around the Circle.

Some days ago we compared the attitude
of Marshal MacMahon to that assumed by
the late President Johnson in his famous
conflict with Congress over the principles
and process of reconstruction, but we
scarcely believed that the Marshal would
furnish SO odd an addition to the parallel as
to initiate tour Of the country precisely
analogous to Johnson's famous swinging
around the circle" It appears, however,
that proceeding of this nature is
an instructive resort of men who
have placed themselves in opposition
to the legitimate depositaries Of po-
litical power. They cannot wait for
the appeal to the country that is to be made
in . regular way, and they endeavor to
forestall ito hurry the judgment on their
acts and secure its utterance in circum-
stances that will incline in their favor the
opinions Of excitable people. Johnson's
rash, inconsiderate, feverish, passionate ap-
peal to the people in popular assemblies
against the people in Congress only exag-
gerated his burdens with the weight Of
public ridicule; but it will not be thus in
France. No one there has the temerity to
laugh at President who is also o Marshal
of France; but we doubt if the experiment
will much better his political position.

Our citizens who can look back with q
shudder to the inexpressibly filthy con-
dition Of the streets Of New York ut the
close of the past winter will doubtless take
. deep interest in the process by which the
London thoroughfares are kept clean oil the
year round. When one thinks of the topog-
raphy of our city and the way in which
nature but asks the smallest assist
ance to keep the surface clean, he
is filed with indignation to think how
incompletely even that little aid is given.
London, with its seven thousand miles of
streets, rained on twelve months Of the
year, traversed day and night by tens Of
thousands Of heavy vehicles, and trodden
by its nigh four millions of people, yet
manages to scoop up its mud daily over the
entire surface, removes oil its ashes and
garbage with clocklike regularity, and SO
keeps down the death rate even in the most
densely populated districts to surprisingly
low figure. We can do the same, and,
proportionately, with a 1.-THE Of the effort
1t is mere matter of business, and suscep-
tible Of the same economic treatment as the
sweepings of tobacco factory, where moth
ing goes to waste. Fortunes are made by
doing the work in London. In New York
the rule has been to make fortunes by not
doing it. Our London letter on the subject
of street cleaning is respectfully called to
the attention of our young local statesmen
who are ambitious Of distinction and have
not vet got an ssaxe" with the street broom
for handle.

Our special despatch from the Russian
headquarters at Ploejesti gives an extract
from the official report of the officer by
whom the Turkish monitor was blown up
on Saturday morning. In this simple,
straightforward story is given the outline OF
o splendid exploit-as gallant and daring IN
achievement as is to be found in the
chronicles Of maritime warfare. TO all
American readers it will recall that gallant
episode in the history of our own navy
when our brave boys exploded torpedo
alongside the rebel ram Albemarle
and sent her to the bottom. On
the night Of May 25 the Russian boats left
Braila. They are called "gunboats' in the
despatch but it must be remembered they
are craft which the Russians carried with
them in sections, and which have been put
together since they have been on the
Danube. Lieutenant Denbasoff ran his
little craft under the guns of the Turkish
monitors ct Matchin and exploded tor
pedo under the largest one, which damaged
but did not altogether cripple her; then
another boat of the expedition gave the
same monitor second torpedo, and she
went down in ten minutes. Evidently the
Turks were as brave as they were helpless,
for they continued their fire till the water
stopped the muzzles Of their guns ; yet this
tenaciously persistent fire was delivered so
utterly at random that the little Russian
craft alongside received no harm. This is
on event OF consequence, as it exhibits the
ultimate worthlessness Of iron-clads and
great guns where there are gallant hearts
and nautical skill to deal with them. Here
some little craft, run down to the river in
the baggage of an army, armed only with the
''loaded tin can" of the period, prove them
selves superior to the great structures pre-
pared at enormous cost in the great dock
yards of England with the labor Of years.
In the success Of the torpedo lies the next
revolution in naval warfare.
Active operations by the armies on the
Danube are evidently delayed by the condi-
ton of the river. Several days since it had
already fallen to the point at which it was
possible to bridge it, but recent rains have
swollen it again. All its tributaries are
overlooking their banks and the Danube
itself has invaded the extensive low district
on the Roumanian side, and, therefore, on
the greater part of the Russian front,
is rather ON inland sea than an
ordinary river. Further complication
of the international aspects of the
Danube campaign is likely to arise from the
attitude Of the Servians, who are apparently
preparing, if not already prepared, to CO.
operate with the Russian forward movement
into Turkish territory. Dispatches from
Asia state the Turkish forces engaged in the
Kars and Erzeroum operations at one hun
dred and forty thousand men, which seems
q large figure, considering how little that
army has been able to oppose the Russian
operations. Evidently the abandonment Of
Erzeroum is already regarded as a foregone
conclusion.

4 Proposed Meeting or Governors.

An enthusiastic correspondent, whose effu-
sive patriotism is irrepressible, desires that
the Governors of all the States shall assem-
BILE and embrace each other in Independence
Hall, in the renowned City Of Brotherly Love,
take sweet counsel togetherand come to New
York in company, and then make joint
pilgrimage and part with touching farewells
under the shadow and benediction of
Bunker Hill monument Our patriotic
correspondent asks US to advocate this
interesting exhibition. We cannot quite
do that, but we give our gracious
permission and consent, and promise
to report it-when it happens. We
have looked at the list Of Governors, and
find it consists of twenty-three democrats
and fifteen republicans but this need
create no difficulty in arranging the details
OF an ''arm-in-arm convention" 1t is only
necessary to sandwich one republican be-
tween two democrats in several cases, MAX
ing the column consist Of eight arm in arm
triplets followed by seven arm-in-arm
couples. We suggest, for example, that
Governor Conner, who is warm friend of
Senator Blaine, keep step to the music OF
the Union" leaning lovingly with his right
arm on Governor Wade Hampton and his
left on Governor Nichols. Governor
Grover, who gave the famous certificate
to Cronin, has unfortunately become
Senator, or he might march at the
right of Governor Young, of Ohio, with
Governor Stone of Mississippi, on his left.
We could suggest other arrangements which
would be marvellous pictures of fraternal
harmony, but we do not presume to offer
our services as master Of ceremonies on that
delightful occasion. Only the genius Of
Barnum could bring out all the amiable
qualities of such "happy family"

freedom of tho Bosphorus will have to be

and the Sultan cannot help himself. Eng
land would profit more by the new arrange
ments than any other country excepting
Russia. Her capital would find employ
ment in building railroads in the new inde-
pendent States and developing their re-
sources, and their prosperity would extend
her markets.
Supposing the Russian declarations to be
sincere no country has any interest in sup
porting Turkey in this war, and all should
wish to see the remnants of her tottering
power annihilated as speedily as possible.
If all the other Powers remain neutral the
struggle cannot be long, for the reason that
Turkey is utterly bankrupt. Even before
the war began her financial condition had
become desperate. She had long ago ex-
hausted her power to borrow, and her
revenue in the year 1856 was less than
half her expenditure. In October, 1875, she
repudiatcd one-half Of the interest on her
public debt, and afterward failed to pay the
other half BY another order of the govern
ment, issued in July, 1876, she openly an
nounced that no payments would be made
until the internal affairs of the Empire
have become more settled" Later in the
same month she fell back on that last re-
source of insolvent governments, large
issue of irredsemable paper money, which
has already become nearly worthless by
depreciation. The Khedive, seeing a
chance for independence, will probably
find some excuse for not paying his stated
tribute Russia's financial condition can
not be called good, but against Turkey
alone she can maintain the war indefinitely,
whereas Turkey has utterly exhausted her
resources in the mere work Of preparation.
The result Of the struggle between two such
unequal combatants cannot be doubtful if
they are let alone. The sooner Turkey asks
for conference Of the great Powers, with
promise of implicit submission to their adj
vice, the more she will save from the wreck.
