be seen spontsneously wheeling into

The Paris Com m n ne.

Perhaps the most unreasonably ferocious
act committed by the Paris Communists in
1871 was the double murder with which
they began their criminal orgy. General
Lecomte was good soldier Of the regular
army and that was his offence. General
Thomas was not soldier enough for that to
hurt him, as he was only National Guard
general but he was republican, though
not red republican. Moderation was his
offence. By the wanton murder Of these
two men the Communists began their de-
fiance Of law and humanity. Despite oil
the executions that followed the fall
of the Commune that first butchery was
never fully expiated /; but now, seven years
later, one Of the perpetrators is in the hands
of justice. Captain Garcin. who escaped
from France. was condemned in contumacy;
but he has been foolish enough to return
and is caught. They have no sentimental
humanity in France on points of this na-
ture Eras of good feeling are unknown.
Garcin will be shot. There are some execu-
tions that are the more effective for coming
very late and this is one Of them.

We Beg 70 Decline.

One Of the chief secretaries of Prince
Gortschakof has ventured the prediction
that, in case of war between Russia and
England, the former Power might perhaps
"malxe an alliance with the United States,
which would menace Englands possessions
in America" We fear that the secretary
who offers this suggestion has been in COM
munication with Mr.. O'Donovan Kossa,
and has thus obtained IN erroneous
impression in regard to the policy and s9n-
timcnts of the United States government.
MIR. Rosa is not q fair representative of the
people of America, and his peculiar ideas
are not shared by any considerable portion
of our population. We have always had q
leaning toward Russia, and the relations be-
tween the Russian and United States gov
ernments have been of the most friendly
character. At the time of the Crimean war
our sympathy was made so manifest as to
give some offence to England, and in the
recent Turkish war the best wishes Of the
Americans have been with the Car and
civilization. But we respect England and
do not covet any of her possessions on this
side Of the Atlantic Certainly it is not at
oil probable that we should depart from our
wise policy Of non-interference with the
affairs of European nations in the event of
further complications. If Canada should

Conference or No Conference.

AS the negotiation with regard to the
Conference now stands in Europe that
proposed panacea for many ills is evidently
''off." England's preposterous demand as
to the form in which the treaty should be
submitted for consideration is the cause.
That Russia would assuredly refuse to con-
cede that demand was plain, and could not
have been doubtful even in London when
the demand was made. Her Majesty's
Ministers may therefore be held to have
made a demand which they knew must, if
insisted upon, render the Conference impos-
sible. From that fact naturally arises the
inquiry, Did they. wish to prevent
the Conference? 1t is not altogether
unlikely that that was the real pur-
pose of the demand made. Journalists
in England reason sincerely and with some
cogency that it is greatly to England's ad-
vantage that the Conference should be held,
and that it's failure will be SO clearly to
Englands disadvantage that she should
sacrifice for it anything but substantial
principles" But the government may not
take the same view. One of the least doubt
full results of an assembly in conference of
all the great Powers would be to show the
'friendlessness and helplessness of England
in the presence OF Powers animated by pur-
poses inimical to her welfare. Greece and
Belgium would be her only friends. and
that demonstration would not be very
tories in their two years Of endeavor to re-
store British prestige on the Continent And
what tells against the Ministry is what the
Ministry do not mean to have exhibited just
now if they can prevent 1t. AS to conse-
quences beyond that demonstration they
either do not care for them or they reason in
the vein attributed in the dispatches to Ber-
lin paper-that war will not result, but that
the two governments will continue enor-
nous preparations for war, and thus wage
q sort Of financial campaign, in which Eng
land, as the richer Power, will be far the
stronger. II they reason that way in
Berlin they certainly may in Lon
don, and in that vein Of reasoning it
would be clearly England's interest to
upset the Conierence.project. But this rea-
soning leaves out of view the facts in the
case that are Of greatest moment. Un-
deferred by the judgments Of q Conference
or bywar Russia will carry out all those parts
of the treaty which can be reconciled with
the good will of Austria; and as the Sultan
must feel that England's failure to fight i'm
mediately is her ultimate abandonment of
his cause he will throw himself into Rus
sia's hands and will make with his late foe
whatever. treaty is demanded as 10 the
Straits Russia will thus secure through
England's inactivity oil she wishes. and her
great ornaments will not have the precise
fate sketched in Berlin. England is richer
than Russia, but the maintenance of great
armies is not in despotism simply dnan-
cial question, as it is in England.

superintendent smyth's Acquittal


The vote of the Senate yesterday on the
question of the removal Of the Superin-
tendent Of the Insurance Department does
not disappoint expectation. although
there arc many who will. question the.
justice of his acquittal. Superintendent
Smyth is q republican. His deputy,
who would have succeeded to his functions
until new Superintendent was appointed,
is democrat. The consequence Of his. re.
moval would have been to put democrat
in charge of the department, and the re-
publican majority Of the Senate did not de-
sire this result. Since, with the deputy
legally in charge, there would have been no
absolute necessity for appointing new
Superintendent, Governor Robinson would
probably have made no concession to the
republican Senate. He would have sent in
the name of democrat, and had his first
nomination been rejected the name Of
another democrat, and so on without end,
the Governor preferring to have the
democratic deputy continue in charge
rather than nominate q republican as the
head of the department. The only possible
chance of having republican in charge of
the Insurance Department lay IN acquittiDg
Mr.. Smyth, and this is the real ground Of
the vote in his favor An acquittal from
such motives is, Of course, disgraceful but
what better could have been expected from
unscrupulous Albany politicians? party
which has for three sessions unblushingly
defed the imperative requirements of the
should lose it's majority in the Legislature,
could not be expected to condemn re-
publican for malfeasance in office when the
certain consequence would have been to
surrender the Insurance Department to

specting its justice. We shall, of course,
pay. Even Mr.. Blaine, in his last
speech, comedies that we are to pay.
And, since national honor binds us,
let us, to borrow Lord Dufferin's
phrase. 'pay like gentlemen" 1t is to be
regretted that any question was raised on
this subject in consequence Of misappre-
hension of the facts. In the light of the
revelations which we make to-day popular
leaders In Congress will learn useful les
son as to the necessity of knowing
all the facts before committing them
selves respecting important public trans
actions. The partial information on
which Mr.. Blaine acted, and its apparent
confirmation by the official correspondence
sent to the Senate, furnish a conspicuous
illustration of the danger Of acting upon
half knowledge. Without any fault OF his
own, Mr.. Blaine was misled into proclaim
ing the discovery of "mare's nest" We
suspect that he will not soon be caught in
such a scrape again. Certain it is that had
he known ''the bottom facts" respecting
Mr.. Delfosse's appointment he would not
have made his call for information. We
are confident that the award will be ac-
cepted and that Mr.. Blaine will vote for its
payment.
On questions Of this kind the unsafest Of
oil guides is transient popular clamor.
Washington understood this perfectly
when, in ITS, he resisted the insane agita-
tion against the Count D'Estaing for with
drawing his feet from Rhode Island
and supported the French officer
against the wild complaints Of the
people and the officers Of General
Sullivan's army. The manly letters which
he wrote on that occasion to Count D 'Es-
taing and to Lafayette exhibited his just
scorn of an unrefecting popular irritation.
We trust that President Hayes and Secre-
tary Evarts will be equally unmoved by pop
ular clamor and dissatisfaction respecting
an award which every sentiment of honor
and good faith requires us to pay in full.
The New York herald., 1878-03-28

be drained Of her able-bodied man popu-
lation by war between England
and Russia the province would be just as
secure from attack by the United States MS
If the whole border was lined with artillery
and bristling with bayoncts. In such a
contest popular sentiment in the United
States would be divided, and possibly the
prevailing sympathy might be with Russia.
But certainly our government would take
no side in the quarrel, and our relations
with England would be more friendly and
considerate in her hour of peril than at any
other time
