TnE WEArIIEg.-The highest pressure east of
the Rocky Mountains is in the South Atlantic
and Eastern Gulf States. Ii is lowest In the
Lower Missouri and Upper Mississippi valleys,
md Is relatively low over the ST. Lawrence Val
ley lake region and the Northwest. Rains fell
through these districts yesterday. Foss pre-.
yailcd on the Middle Atlantic coast and six hun
dred miles scaward. II is not improbable that
morning fogs will continue over this region dur
ing the next two or three days The wind is
strongest over Nova Scotia aud moderate TO
brisk elsewhere. Temperatures have run quite
high In the West and lake region, where
sharp thermal gradients occur, especially in the
vicinity OF the disturbance In the Missouri
Valley, where recurrence of thunder storms
and tornndocs may be expected, though not
with the same severity as has been recently cx-
pcrcnced In that region. The weather In New
York aud it's vicinity to-day will be warm aud
cloudy, possibly with light rains and morning
fog. For tomorrow the indications are more
threatening.

completeness of tho exhibition for the early
days OF worlds fair is SO much in the
established order of events for these occa-
sions that it will not be counted to the
prejudice Of Paris ; and we do not doubt
that before many days the chroniclers will be
more enthusiastic over the realities Of this
great show than they are now over its
mingled promise and performance; while
ere its close wo shall not be surprised
to hear the unanimous declaration that
it is easily superior TO all that has
hitherto been done in this ample field.
Indeed, that should be regarded as
tho natural progress of the case. Every
repetition Of these great industrial festivals
supplies larger experience for the next
nized difficulties, devises newer attractions,
happier conccits and plcasanter surprises
than its predecessor. Thus as the Conten-
nial Exhibition was far md away superior
in many very important features to any that
preceded it, we shall be disappointed five do
not hear that the acute and adventurous
Gaul has outdone us in many particulars.
We wish Kim all the success and triumph
that is possible in that way. He is worthyit
all and worthy the admiration with which the
world looks upon him to-day. Seven years
ago the French people were overwhelmed
in a disastrous war that threatened at one
moment to blot them from the roll of ma
tions. They paid an indemnity that was
imposed in the spirit in which great weight
is tied to the neck Of slaughtered victim
to send him irretrievably to the bottom.
Against the results Of that war and that in
demnity and the barbarous revolt Of the
Paris mob it has risen with the irrepressible
spirit we see exhibited today and the ma
ton which shows this elasticity and recu-
pcrative power presents the most remark
able exhibition of all that have been or can
be made ut Paris or elsewhere now or here
after.

We suspect, from the accounts we receive
from Washington, that our government is
taking a lax view of Its duties in relation to
the fitting out of ships in our ports under
Russian auspices for cruising against
English commerce. The mistake which
our authorities seem to be making
is q consequence Of their looking
merely to the obligations imposed
by international law and overlooking
alone is regarded the Russian government
may freely purchase or fit out ships in our
ports up to the time of IN actual declara-
ton Of war. But the laws Of Congress
forbid the federal officers to wait tor such
IN emergency. They make it penal Of
government with which the United
States is ut peace, quite iire-
spective Of tho existence Of war.
The federal government has repeatedly
interfered to prevent the sailing of expedi-
tions against Cuba and Central America,
although no war existed at the time. 1t was
the purpose OF the statutes under which
those repressive measures were taken not
merely to prevent violations of neutrality
between belligerents, but TO restrain our
citizens from participation in hostile
movements in time of peace. The
statute on this subject, which is
very strict, lis in the following language
Every person who, within the limits of
the United States, fits out or arms, or
attempts to fit out or arm, or procures to be
fitted out and armed, or is knowingly con-
cerned in the furnishing, fitting out or
arming Of any vessel, with the intent that
such vessel shall be employed in the service
Of any foreign prince or State, or of any
colony, district or people with whom the
United States are ct peace" shall be subject
to certain heavy penalties prescribed in the
act. The thing is equally forbidden whether
the foreign State be at war or not. If the
vessel is intended to be used against o
people "with whom the United States are at
peace" it is clear violation of our laws,
and the officers of our government are
bound to prevent or punish it. Although
it might be permissible under the interna-
tional law it is a plain violation of our
statutes, Us Secretary Evarts would explain
to the President il domestic affection did
not detain him from Washington.

Comptroller Kelly has addressed CON-
murication to the Legislature in which he
replies to the points made by the Governor
in his veto Of the Bonded Debt bill. The
bill was passed with so little opposition and
by such large majorities, both in the Senate
and Assembly, that il is worth while to make
an attempt to carry it over the Governors
veto. We doubt If this can be done,
but IL ii can be done the people
OF this city will be very we'll salts
fed. But If 1t should turn out that
the veto cannot be ovcrrulcd wo hope that
Mr.. Kelly and his friends will not obstruct
the passage Of bill framed in accordance
with Governor Robinsons suggestion for
accomplishing substantially the same result.
Better Governor Robinson's plan than moth
ing but since our overburdencd taxpayers
are likely to get nothing IL the veto is
sustained the taxpaying citizens OF New
York are more than willing that tho bill
in question should DO repassed over the
veto.
