The services Of Mathew j. Maufy TO met

mitted By all who are capable Of judging
properly their character 10 have been Of AZ
most inestimablc value. There is no name
in the American history Of these sciences
that is comparable with bis in its claims %
the pre-emnent consideration Of men. Only
one government upon the civilized globe has
failed to express, in the most substantial
form, its grateful appreciation Of the bone-
fits conferred upon all civilized nations by
the results Of his scientific career. and that
government is our own, which SO far has
permitted itsefto be influenced in this con-
nection by motives totally unworthy OF the
smallest degree Of respect
A bill has been recently introduced in the
United states Senate which provides that a
fitting monument shall be raised to the
memory of Maury, but this bill has not yet
been reported upon by the committee TO
which il was referred. In the meanwhile
many Republican papers Of the North have
expressed their opposition TO the measure in
the strongest terms on the ground that
Maury was a "rebel," character, by the
way, which he shared with Robert L. Lee.
Stonewall jackson, Jefferson Davis, and
many others who were held in the highest
honor by all men whose opinion is entitled
10 the greatest respect.
The Boston Advertiser, which is usually
conservative in its views, a few DAYS ago
severely condemned the object Of the bill as
a reflection upon loyalty to the government
in its most trying hour. This attack has
called forth a very admirable letter from
Mr. Julius A. Palmer, Jr., published in lhe
Advertiser Of Tuesday, in which the MEN,
DRY of Maury is warmly defended and bis
claims to the gratitude Of mankind iorcibly
presented. Mr. Palmer is prominent ship
master OF Boston, who, as he himself states,
has been benefited incidentally by the dis
coyerles and sailing directions Of this great
scientist. Referring to the structures which
have been passed upon Maury as having
been a ..rebel," Mr.. Palmer concludes his
letter in language that may be commented
to the careful consideration Of the Radical
press Of the North: "As one step in that
Oblivion which shall make us one nation

cate that proper honor be meted out TO the
memory of one Of ihep urcsthearis, the most

TO eat beef. and IL there be- other tOiiers too

why let them do as the man who raises the

of his great name. yet it il highly improo-
able that he will henceforth exercise any
marked influence upon the general current
of the national affairs Of Germany.
Its ia this general current, however, that
the dangers Of the future are most likely to
Turk. Here may arise causes of disagree
ment and dissension which might easily be
removed in the beginning, by calm and Ju-
dlcious management, but which otherwise
treated. might lead TO the most disastrous
consequences.
II augurs in for the peaceful course Of
events in the future that Bismarck is 10 be
succeeded by a military officer who has
been in command Of one Of the corps Of the
German army. All the tastes Of the Young
Emperor are essentially Of military char
actcr: at the very time that be Is anus
ing himself with labor conferences
he is also actively engaged in drilling his
regiments and testing their efficiency ana
alertness. The two roles Of military I'm
peror and imperial roformer which he is
now PLAYING, appear rather Incompatible
Theprediction may be ventured thathi pre-
sent spirit Of liberaliiy will not last for any
very great length Of time, for at heart the
German Kaiser is as much Of an absoluiist
as Bismarck himself, and the disagreement
between them had It's origin in the desire o.
each to rule unquestioned rather than IN
any fundamental difference Of views be-
tween the two.
What will be the final issue Of the a.
sumption Of the most untrammelod power
by the Emperor IL is not improbable that
his restless spirit and uneasy ambition may
upon the slightest pretext plunge nan oil
Continental Europe into war. The fate OF
millions Of people is now dependent upon
the caprices OF monarch whose character
does not give the highest ASSURANCE Of sell
control, however warm he may be in his
patriotism. and however conscious oil the
duties Of the throne which he occupies.
