THE PARIS ExPosITIoN.-A Paris
correspondent, writing on the last Of
March, says that up TO that time 636
railway CARS loaded with merchandise
for the Exposition had arrived, 140
being from England and 100 from
Belgium. Russia had sent only 40,
but the increase Of activity among her
workmen was giving the impression
that she was looking forward to peace
1t was thought that by the middle of
April 2l00 car loads would arrive, a
total exceeding in number that of 1867
when, although Germany, Mexico and
Turkey participated, there were but
1000, Of which Germany contributed
408. Only one exhibitor, an English
pottery manufacturer; has completed
his contributions, for which lie was
honored with banquet. There will
DO no postponement of the opening,
although it is doubtful whether every
thing will be in place before the first
of June. 1t is said the Government

4 Causeless War, If any.

William R. Gregg, the able English
essayist, in a recent communication
to a London paper, writes: 81 have
asked every one fancied would be
likely to be able to give an intelligent
reply what we were proposing to go to
war for, and what use we designed to
make of our victory when we had won
1t. And ] have met with no man,
however irritated or anti Russian, who
could give me the slightest approach
to a distinct and comprehensive an
swer." That is the very way in which
the matter strikes most intelligent PEG.

imaginary sights, the growth of an
other nation, the possibility of coils
ion of interests to come at some indef-
mite period in the future, were sul1ic-
lent causes of war, with all it's wide
spread sacrifices and miseries, then
the British Government might have
some excuse for its apparent 'determi-
nation to strike into fight with Rus
sia. A very good test of the INSULT
cheney Of its cause might be arrived
at in this way Suppose a member OF
Parliament should rise and propose
that the difficulties with Russia should
be submitted to arbitration. Imagine
the blank faces and the puzzled looks
on every side which would greet
such a proposition! What is there to
arbitrate about? What actual and in
territorial injury has been dore to

when Turkey now announces her re-

treaty to the letter?
The best idea we can get Of the feel
ing OF belligerent Britons is, that they
are spurred on to war by motives very
like those which, in a dueIing commu-
nifty, drive many a man to fight n duel,
although he may have correct ideas
about the futility Of such contest.
But he imagines that he will lose stand
ing If he does not show his fighting
qualities, that he will he picked upon
by his interiors and suffer for time in
his business, and 80 he cannot face the
apparltion which he conjures up as
public opinion. SO the Southern reb-
els plunged into a causeless war while
they had the control of the Govern
ment in their own hands, because they
felt that the spirit of the age was not
With them. But an old, intelligent.
powerful nation, like England, which
ought to be the leader of modern opin-
ion, should be wholly above this sham
chivalrous, semi-trutal spirit. Her
possessions render her impregnablc, so

reason, in short, to stand upon those

worse for her to spread territoriaIiN

Tweed died in Ludlow-street Jail at
precisely twelve o'clock to-day. He
was attended by DR.. CarnoHhan, who
had been with him since an early
hour this morning. Also by Foster
Dewy his late secretary, Mr.. Dou-
glas, his son-iE-law, and Mr.. Edil-
stein, one OF his counsel. All .!.ope of
his recovery were abandoned soon
after l o'clock, when DR.. Carnochan
announced the clogging of the heart
and complete nervous exhaustion.
The sound of the heart was mufiled,
indicating greater effusion into the
perecardium and clot of the heart.
From this time he gradually sank, re-
tanning his faculties perfectly, and died
without a struggle at noon.

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The New York
Bulletin has just published reports
from all sections Of the wheat produc-
ing country, which lead one to indulge
the expectation that The country will
be blessed with another abundant
harvest. The Western acreage Of
spring wheat exceeds the large extent
Of last year by 10 or 20 per cent. At
present the wheat fields present q
promising appearance, the grain COM
ing up thick and the color good. The
crops have been got in unusually
early, and having made good progress
in the first stages Of growth, great
point has been gained toward a good
crop, as the plant will be better able
to Withstand dry weather or insects
The reports above referred to are fully
corroborated by papers published in
all sections Of the wheat growing
country.

The Manchester Guardian prints a
London despatch saying that rumor
is current in Military circles that the
British have sustained a disastrous de-
feat in South Africa. The Colonial
Office is ignorant Of such defeat. De-
tailed advices from Cape Town state
that the outbreak of Secoceni, the now
erful chief, announced on the 9TH in
slant, surprised the Transyaal govern
ment, which was unprepared and only
able to send 100 native allies against
500 Kaffirs, who were surrounding
Fort Burghers. The forces of Trans
vaal and Natal are concentrating to
resist the apprehended outbreak Of &C.
tewayo, the Zulu chief. Sir BartIe
Frere, Governor Of Cape Colony, is at
King Williams Town. Five thousand
men attacked Sandilli, chief Of the
Gorkas, on the day that the steamer
sailed. The whole frontier was very
restless, and the war feeling is strong

dence and firmness were needed to
prevent general native war.
