From cable dispatches which we print this
morning we learn that Victor Emmanuel and
his President of Council, Signor Ferrari,
arrived in Rome yesterday. Prince Humbert
met his father at the city gates. The Prince
was attended by the Ministers of the Crown.
A force of the National Guard of the city was
on duty as royal escort. The populace
turned out in immense numbers and greeted
the sovereign with the most enthusiastic
demonstrations Of loyalty and respect. The
King proceeded to the Quirinal, where he has
taken up his residence for the present. A
curious coincidence in the history Of the hour
is to be found in the fact that on the same day
when the citizens Of young New York turned
out to salute Prince of the House Of
Romanoff the people Of ancient Rome should
stand forth to profess allegiance to the
sovereign ruler of the House Of Savoy,
and that the voice of united Italy should
proclaim that the temporal power Of the
Popes has passed away. It is not said whether
the King intends to remain in Rome. The
presumption is that 1t is only a visit-proba-
bly, for the purpose Of inspecting and COM
pleting the arrangements which are being
made for the transference Of the entire ma
chinery Of government towards the close ol
this month from Florence. The finale ap-
proaches. It remains to be seen whether
Pope and King will not yet shake hands,
and the Pontiff become reconciled to the
change

Democratic Tsmmany Convention, and 1t was
the golden opportunity, too, for new depar-
ture by the democrats, with Mr.. Chase as their
candidate. He was fresh from the republican
camp, with all his blushing honors Of the war
thick upon him as our great war hnancier.
But tho democratic managers permitted
their golden opportunity to pass by, and

Chief Justice Is In the same category
with all the other hold-over candidates from
the Tammany Convention. But we are deal
ing with these anti-Grant republicans, and we
fear there is no hope for them in the project of
fusion with the democrats 90 late in the day.
In fact, we do not know that anything can be
done for them in any conceivable coalition in
opposition to General Grant. There are only
q bakers dozen of them WHO are making all
this noise, and they are all of one mind in
their grievances against Grant. One would
think, therefore, they might be quie!ed by
another little Cleveland Convention like that
of Fremont and Coch rane. Unfortunately,
however, every man of this bakers
dozen is Presidential candidate, and the
only way in which they can all be
satisfied ON the convention system Is to give
each one q convention and nomination.
And why not? Is not this free country
Does the constitution call for these party con-
ventions In the election of Presidenta No.

the more the merrier.


If the republican party, then, will insist
upon another term for General Grant, and il
the democrats will not disband their party
orgnzation for the accommodation OF these
anti Grant reformers, and If they cannot agree
among themselves, nor incur the expense Of
conventions, Let each man strike out for him
self, like 'Daniel Pratt, the great American
traveller" What else can they do, when it is
evident that the proposed coalition will fail,
and that Cleveland Convention will do no
good where there are thirteen men, more or
less, not one of whom will be satisfied with
anything less than the White House, or a
custom house, foreign mission, or country

Our Special Dispatches from HIexics.


The HERALD special kilograms from Mexico
which are published in our columns to-day
detail the history of events occurring In the
republic as 1t was re ported In the capital on
the 1lth, and at Matamoras and on the
line Of the Rio Grande on the goth instant.
The narrative is almost uniform In its express
sion. It speaks Of revolution, of civil war and
tumult, of public doubt and alarm, of want
OF confidence In the State authorities and OF
an almost general absence Of loyalty towards
the national Executive General Rocha was
marching to the relief Of Saltillo. The place
was severely pressed by the revolutionists, so
that speedy issue of the contest at that point
was imminent. General Alatorre was engaged
in constant observation OF the movements at
Oaxaca, and Dlaz was equally busy in his
conduct Of the work of fortfying the place.
1t is needless to recapitulate the movements
and counter movements Of the different COM
manders. Suffice it to say that the revolu-
tionary undertaking is becoming general
In Mexico, 2 and that the most i'm
portant changes, governmental and social,
are likely to ensue from its completion.
Juarez repeated his request to Congress for .
parliamentary vote Of extraordinary powers to
the President. Mexican citizens subscribed
money for the relief of Chicago and for aid of
the sufferers by fire in Wisconsin. The neigh
boring republic will most assuredly experience
the effects of q new and remarkable crisis in
its history, and that at very early moment.

How Susan nurtha Came to Her Death-An


Unhappy Career aud Miserable End.


Coroner Burns held an inquest last evening at
Jersey City on the BODY Of Susan Murtha, concern
ing whose death there were suspicious OF foul play.
Drs Mulcahy and o'Calaghan testified that they had
found wounds and bruises on the body. particularly
on the head, but whether produced by fall or by
blows they did not offer an opinion. Other testi-
mony, however, showed that she fell while partially
intoxicated and sustained serious injuries of the
skull. From the effect OF this fall she never re-
covered Mrs. Martha led most unhappy life
almost from the first month OF her marriage,
owing TO the opposition of her family to
the marriage The coldness shown to her by those
she held dear weighed heavily on her mind; but
even this she could endure, till the dearest to
her began to fail in his devotion TO her. Other trials
and difficulties were not wanting, and she gradually
lapsed into intemperance, which finally led to her
death. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict OF
death from injuries accidentally received.

That there is an immense field for
skilled labor here is shown by the rush
of, operatives from Europe to this
country. AS these arrive they unite
with those who prohibit any accession
except by immigration. Is it wise to
have any such classification of our peo-
pie? Is it expedient that the skilled
laborers shall all be foreign? Does not
society need for its protection some other
schools for the education OF American
mechanics than the penitentiaries or re-
fermaties? Does not the public good
require that these arbitrary regulations,
which fetter the right of any person to
learn any trade or profession, and to
have free and equal chance in the race
of life, shall be abrogated and broken
down, quite as much. as it requires the
passage of an jeight-hour-law. OF all
monopolies, and the country is cursed

There seems probability that u con-
siderable reform in the management of
steam-boilers in passenger-boats and cars
will soon take place, the government be-
ing now engaged in printing law
passed and signed last February, which
entirely repeals the law as it now stands,
and substitutes new and much more
stringent requirements. One of the most
i'm portant of these provisions is, that to
every boiler shall be attached a record
ing gauge, placed in such conspicuous
position that the amount of steam in the
boiler may be read by every passenger at
pleasure. This recording gauge has an
Indicator, attached to delicate machinery
and worked by excess of steam, to the
point of which is fastened an indelible
pencil which writes automatically on a
moving roll of paper, and permanently
records the various degrees to which the
pressure of steam rises while the boilers
is in use. A government lock secures
the paper from being tampered with /;
and the inspector, by looking at the roll
of paper, can tell in minute whether,
and how often, the engineer has exceeded
the amount of steam allowed by the GER
tifcate. We have recently given our
readers a very complete description, with
engraving, of such a gauge. Another
section of the law provides that any citl-
zen can libel a vessel not complying in
every particular with the statute; the
penalty being five hundred dollars for
each offence, half of which goes to the
informer. 1t is said that the printing of
the law is nearly completed, and that it
will probably be promulgated and go
into effect within week.

We are told in classic history that an
old painter was employed to sketch the
Macedonian Emperor. The emperor re-
ceived severe wound upon the right
temple, in one of his famous battles, and
a large scar was left. The artist pro-
ceeded to the work assigned him, and
sketched the monarch leaning upon his
elbow, with his foreffnger covering the
scar. His ingenuity was infamous
than ever. So it is with genuine charity,
which "covereth multitude of sins''
Instead of exposing the faults of others,
and holding them up to scorn and ridi-
Guile, it covers them with the finger of
love, except when truth and justice re-
quire them to be openly rebuked. The
way of the world is to expose the scars
of character, and set them off in more
than their real ugliness. They are the
subjects of gossip and keen satire in the
social circle; the sparks of fire that are
struck around often kipdle into a flame.
How much more beautiful is that spirit
which treats the failures of others with
forbearance, while it does not excuse in
iquity in the nearest friends! That is the
secret foundation of all that is good and
true. This is the charity which Etsuffer-
eth long and is kind,' and ''doth not be-
have itself unseemly," and thinketh no
evil.
