STIRRING THEM UP.-The frequent COM
munications published in the HERALD and our
comments thereon relative to the imperfect
enumeration of the census have stirred up the
officials considerably. General Sharpe in his
address 10 the people Of the Southern district
ofNew York denies that there is any irregu-
larity in the mode of taking the census. He
represents the deputy marshals as almost
immaculate, and complains that they have
been obstructed in the performance Of their
duty on several occasions by reticent or indig-
nant citizens. That may be. A census mar
shal at the door, with book and pencil in his
hand, looks so like tax collector that some
timid people become alarmed and get rid of
him with as few words as possible. Our COM
ments and the action of the Mayor have pro-
duced one good effect, however. General
Sharpe announces that he will keep his Office
in Chambers street open during five hours
day for ten days for the purpose of hearing
complaints from non enumerated parties, and
he promises to remedy their grievances. we
recommend everybody, then, who has any
fault to find to step up to the captains Office
and settle the difficulty.

PRUSSIA DRIVES ON.-Prussia loses no
time. Whatever else may be done she will
not for she dare not, delay. Already it is
pretty late in the season to be only where she
is-ip the centre of the enemy's country, with
the possibilities of siege before her, and q
long line OF supplies behind. II is the middle
of September, with very hot days and very
cold nights, and this for men who live in all
the discomforts and exposures Of the march
and bivouac means feyer-a general epidemic
OF fever, more or less typhoid in type. For
month to come this trouble will be worse
every day. In the country in which the Prus-
slams must now encamp dysentery of fatal
kind is epidemic every year. Camp life aggra-
Yates all these tendencies. Before them, there

italy marches to Rome. King Victor Eman-
ueI Is once again the child OF fortune. The
crowning of the hopes Of the Italian people is
now SO easy of accomplishment that the full
value Of the opportunity is not sufficiently ap-
preciated. Mazzini looked for grand row
and fair opportunity for spectacular demon
stration. So, too, did Garibaldi, But tho
browning of the edifice in Italy does not find
any necessity for the services of Mazzini or
Garibaldi. The cry is for the King. In few
more hours we shall hear that Victor Emanuel
has entered Rome; that Rome has been pro-
claimed the capital of Italy that the Pope Ia
the subject or the prisoner Of the Italian King,
and that the wrongs Of centuries have been
peacefully righted. There are many now ask
ing the question, What will the Pope dol
What can he do? Nobody offers to fight for
him. Since the days Of Charlemagne the Pops
of Rome has in name always, and often
in fact, been the greatest Of Christian
rulers. Emperors many have courted his favor.
and some of them have found 1t necessary to
bow the knee before him. To-day the fact il
patent to the world that no monarch is so poor
as to- do him reverence. With universal con-
sent this mockery Of temporal sovereignty
known as the Popedom is allowed to die. The
Popo does not seem willing to go to Malta,
where many think he would be happy. It is
not wonderful that the Holy Father thinks
twice before consenting to become the guest Of
hereto Power like Great Britain. In Rome
the Pope may still be happy if he will only
consent to stay. Victor Emanuel is tho last
man in the world to wish to do him harm. A
despatch which we print this morning shows
how Victor Emanuel feels and how he has been
compelled to bow to this force of events. We
could wish to see the Holy Father in New
York. 1t has always been our conviction that
the New World is his proper sphere. If the
Old World is sick of him, as it seems to be,
| why should he not come to the New World,
which allows its heart to 60 out to him with
flial afrection2 In Rome, however, the last Of
the Popes is likely to die. May he die in
peace. The New Zealander of Lord Macaulay
becomes less aud less a possibility. Mean
while the good fortune of the Italian King Ia
to be noticed. Victor Emanuel may yet die
| with the Papal benediction.

MONEY AND PEAoE.@-lt is as true that

of war. Hence for the past few weeks money
has been accommodating in London, the ''nation

of the struggle. The accumulation is SO great
in the English capital that the Bank Of England
yesterday reduced its discount rate to three per
cent. II was seven per cent few days after
Napoleon declared war. The movement is now
extending to our own country, for the Canadian
banks are giving Wall street all the gold it

A GOOD EXAMPLE FROM JERSEY. Jersey
justice is generally swift, and is often based as
much upon common sense as upon the techni-
calities of law. AS a case in point: A couple
Of New York rowdies visited Hoboken the
other day, evidently intent upon making mis-
chief, and carrying money enough in their
pockets to pay any fine which might be i'm
posed in case they fell into the hands of the
police. They SO conducted themselves at
an excursion party by insulting the female
members of the company SO grossly
that they were brought before Jersey
justice, who administered to them a
taste Of Jersey law. The Judge said that in
ordinary cases the punishment would be simply
fine; in this case, as it appeared that the de-
linquents had deliberately imported New
York rowdysm into Jersey, with the intention
of buying their amusement with small fine,
for which they were amply provided, he would
let them know that Jersey stood upon her
rights. So he sent the rascals to the city iail
for a month. This is good example, which
might be followed here. We notice that Jersey
is far ahead of us in the prompt discharge of
Judicial and police duty, from the hanging of a
murderer to the Imprisonment of rowdy.
