hherefore, as weil ‘a8 politically, Germany ‘bids fair to become a unit of power in the European community of nations. Truly, Count ‘Bismarck has no cause to be ashamed of his work. It is not yet recorded that the “sick man,” the Sultan, has arrived in Paris. Our cable despatches, however, bave informed us thatthe two imperial physicians have held a consulta- tion on his case. So thoroughly had the imperial doctors made themselves masters of the symptoms of the disease in this particular instance, that the presence of the subject was notdeemed necessary. It must be gratifying to the Sultan to learn on his arrival, as it can- nt fail to be gratifying to his friends even now, that his case is not deemed hopeless, What particular regimen it will be necessary to con- form to, whether the pill to be swallowed is particularly nauseous, we have yet to learn. ‘One thing, however, is certain, that unless the ‘Sultan is sick of his earthly existence and anxious to be off to the felicitics of his Moham- ‘medan paradise, he will yield to the advice of such high authority. The pill will be got over, end the Sultan will doubtless do his best to follow the regimen prescribed. Tf it be true, as reported by the cable to-day, that the Servians and Bulgarians have risen in arms against the Porte, the movement will exercise a very decided influence both on the movements of the Sultan and the treat- ‘ment of the Eastern question, as it will either prevent the contemplated visit of his Majesty to Paris and London or hasten the solution of the difficult problem by royal negotiation or “war. Icebergs and the Atlantic Cables. In yesterday’s Heratp we published a de- scription of the tremendous iceberg which has damaged, and for the present rendered useless, the cable of 1866. But for the fortunate recov- ery of the cable of 1865 we should have been thrown back on our old means of communi- cating with Europe. It was by ihe narrowest chance possible that the cablo of 1865 did not suffer with the other. It is desirable, we think, that investigation be made to determine as far as possible why it was that the one was injured and not the other. A similar catastrophe might not happea again for a hundred years, but it might happen next year, and as we,can- not deal with the icebergs it might be well to consider whether it isnot in the power of sci- ence to render future visits of these icy moun- tains innocuous. ‘The Success of Louis Napoleon. Napoleon, it must be admitted, is a singularly successful ruler, No man in modern times has schemed on so grand a scale, with the same amount of success. He has had more than once difficult cards to play, but he has uniformly played them with marked ability. If it must be admitted that he has at times been unsuc- cessful, it must also be admitied that he has, in every instance, retrieved his position with amazing dexterity. The Luxemburg affair, which for a time looked dark enough, has been got over entirely to his advantage. Not long since he asked for a con- gress of representatives delegated by the great -Powers to consider and rearrange the map of Europe. That congress was refused. Silently but watchfully he has bided his time ; and what do weaee now? Not a congress of delegates, but ‘a congress of the chieis themselves—the princes and potentates of Europe. The first result of the congress, if report speaks trath, is the settlemont of the Eastern question. How this settlement will affect the map of Europe, and what other results are to flow from the royal gathering, we must wait to learn. Mean- while we may take it for granted that the impe- rial mind is not idle, and, so faras matters have gone, we must note success. ‘The Common Council of New York and the Czar of Russia. Ina long and interesting letter, which we printed yesterday, from the pen of our special correspondent in St. Petersburg, it appears that the Czar of all the Russias is not ignorant of the habits of the Common Council- men of this city. His third son, the Grand Duke Alexis, is about to set oft ona pro- tracted cruise. But one thing, it seems, pre- vents the United States being included in the places to be visited. Somo ill-disposed person bas informed the Czar of the well developed convivial propensities of our Common Ceuncil- men. The severe ordeal through which it would be necessary for the youthful Grand Dake to pass has induced his imperial father, having a regard to the boy’s future usefulness, to veto the visit. Well for the boy; well, too, for our taxpaying citizens. Black is Not a Color—W! is Not a Color. A few days since a charming girl appeared belore the Rev. Father Leo Parilio ani wished to be amalgamated with a gentleman who traced his ancestors far back into the dark ages of Africa, and counted upon his ancestral tree tho best blood of Congo and Lower Guineas. The worthy futher, shocked at the prospect of mixing two such distinct coloring compounds, and forgetting that neither white nor black were real colors, retused to splice them, saying that be would rather brave the wrath of the ‘Mowspapers, even the Tribune, than consum- mate such a marriage. Patience, worthy father, you are a little behind the times; for are we ‘mot to have six nigger Congressmen and an ebony aristocracy, whose rule will soon force our hair to curl? THE CASE OF E. B.

Indeed, they may be termed royal races, the course being attended each day by large crowds of fashionable personages from all parts of the kingdom. Tuesday, June 4, was @ fine day, both as re EUROPE.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was present at the grand stand, but did not attend the course in state. Wednesday, June 5, the weather was very un- favorable. Heavy rain fell during the day, and spoiled the sport. Very few ladies attended on the ground, owing to the threatening aspect of the weather in the morning. There were seven races during the day. Thirty horses ran for the Royal Hunt Cup. Jasper won. This day (Thursday, June 6) was the great Ascotday, The morning opened brightly, and the weather remained fine. There were immense crowds of people present, and all the usual scenes which occur on the road to and from the course were to be witnessed. In the fashionable circle the company was more select than that which attended at Epsom Downs on the Derby day. There were a great many ladies out, and their fine costumes—generally of white and blue—made avery gay scene. Dresses of white and lilac were also much worn. : The Prince of Wales, accompanied bya royal party, drove in state from Windsor to Ascot, with servants and outridersa in the royal liveries. The court cavalcade wended its way along the course to the royal stand. Active efforts were made to get up « popular recognition demonstration by cheering, but they failed. There was great curiosity evinced by the crowd to see the royal party and court cortége; but there was no enthusiasm exhibited. There were six races. Ten horses ran for the Ascot gold oup. Lecturer won. The winner was ridden by Fordham, who rode the winner of the grand Paris prize in France the other day, and also rode Vauban at Ascot on Tuesday, when he won the Prince of Wales stakes.

A Shot Fired at the Emperor of Russia When Riding With Napoleon—Tho Pistol Explodes and Wounds the Assassin—Hoe is Cut Down and Arrested—Intense Excitement in Paris, B&e., &e. Parts, June 6, 1867. A cowardly attempt was made this afternoon to assassinate the Czar Alexander of Russia while he was driving back to the city with the Emperor Napoleon, after witnessing a grand military re- yiew in the Champ de Mars. In the imperial carriage were the Czar, his two sons and Napoleon the Third. When the royal party was being driven through the Bois de Bologne a young man, apparently about twenty years of age, fired a pistol at the Czar or in the direction in which he sat in the carriage. It appears as if the weapon had been over- loaded, for the pistol exploded, wounding the hand of the assassin. It is alleged that a person standing in the crowd threw up the arm of the wretch by a promptly dealt stroke just as he discharged the pistol. He was instantly cut down, severely wounded and made prisoner by the escort in attendance on the imperial party. ‘4 The imperial carriage passed on without halting. It is supposed that the villain murderer isa Pole, for the reason that just previous to the attempt cries of ‘‘ Vive la Pogne’’ were heard in the crowd and in different directions. The royal party, as well as the persons forming the cortege of honor, escaped fortunately without injury. There are a thousand ramors in circulation as to the circumstances attending ‘and subsequent to the attempted assassination. Great excitement exists in Paris. No facts are positively known relative to the case, with the exception of the attempt at mur- der, the escape of the Czar, and seizure of the fellow who wished to assassinate him. The Czar Alexander will receive the universal congratulations of Europe on this his second escape from assassination. THE IMPERIAL REVIEW. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD.

There were over eighty thousand men—infantry, cavalry and amtillery—ander arms. They were passed in review by Napoleon, who was accompanied by the Czar of Russia, the King of Prussia, the Crown Prince of Prussia and the Grand Dukes Alexander and Viadimer of Russia, sons of the Czar. The imperial and royal personages were at- tended by « brilliant staff composed of distin- guished military men of all nations. There were several American officers present on the fleld. The review and evolations commenced at two o'clock. ‘The weather was pleasant during the day. There were four hundred thousand spectators on the ground and the scene was unusually ani- mating. The toilets of the ladies were very splendid, and the appearance of the equipages magnificent. The Empress Eugenie witnessed the review from the imperial box st Longchamps. In company with her Majesty were the Grand Duchess Maria of Russia, the Princess Royal of Prussia (Princess Victoria, granddaughter of Queen Victoria), the Prince Imperial of France, and the brother of his Imperial Highness the Tycoon of Japan. The royal party appeared in good health, and Its members were in excellent spirit, ‘The enthusiasm of the people was intense, Never was there in Paris ® more magnificent sight or # more splendid demonstration than has THE FENIANS.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Judge Kelley Welcomed Home by a Spon- taneous Ovation by His Frionds and Neigh- bors—Remiulscences of His Southern Tour. Purapetrata, June 6, 1867. Alon, W. D. Kelley was serenaded at half past nine o'clock this evening by his constituents, friends and neighbors, at his residence in West Philadelphia, on the occasion of his return from his late Southern tour. The road in front 6f the grounds was crowded with sevoral hundred people. The Washington Brass Band furnished excellent music, Calcium lights burned brightly on the fences, lighting up the foliage around with great bril- Maney, producing a highly picturesque effect, while showers of fireworks illaminated the aky. The garden in front of the bouse was filled by the Judge's imme- diate friends, comprising many of the leading citizens of Philadelphia. It was, altogether, a genuine and evi- dently sincere ovation. After the band had performed soveral pieces Mr. Kelley advanced to the steps of his residence, and was pre- sented by Mr. C.C. Pierson. After the hearty cheers of welcome home had subsided, Judge Kelley addressed the meeting, saying that he was grateful to his constitu- ents, friends and neighbors for the demonstration bofore him. He never knew how sacred the word home was until after his recent shsence, during which he had passed through some peril, When cowering before « hundred bullets at one scene of his trav: id the com- panions of his travels oqually exposed as himself, he re- alized how dear home was, The scene before him moved him tothe heart, When he left for the South he did 80 on the invitation of the Governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans, There, as cisewhere all through the South, save in one city, he was met wich all courtesy and kindness, He went there without any thought of danger, with hatred to no man. He thought that the opinions he had so often expressed to the [sd "hiladelpbia be could as kiodly say to the muthern people, and so he did in —t Mobile, where they would not hear begsed bis constituents pot to charge upon the citizens of Mobile or the citizens of the country at (Cheers,) It was more due to Andrew John. ‘son, President of the United States, tnan to the distoyal authorities of Mobile or the mob who supposed that they enjoyed immupities under them. It way a recreant Northerner sent lenght the President as Assessor of Internal Revenue— nel Mann, late of Michi- gan, the owner of the Mobile Times—who, by statements publisbed in his pees, provoked the ind word of his disturbance. It was no (the~ i ip that it om the attack. prelimivaries were arranged two or tbree days bofore his arrival, and the man who was shot boside the chair of the correspondent of the New Yorx Hxrato, who was the firet victim on the platform, would have fallen just as certainly if he (Judge Kelley) had been reci ing the Lord's Prayer instead of making s speech. It was said that he hid under o table. (Laughter.) Now, he was not a soldier, and of no de- sire to ly expose his life; but he recklessl: confersed that he would not object to having a table to + him when ho heard the bullets patiering about. jo would not refer to the courtesy which met him at all points from Memptis to Danville, through Tennes- see, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alal ‘Geor North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia’ They were al- ready acquainted with all this, owing to the enterprise of the Northern ‘le, and more especially the New Yor Henaup. e been the nation’s benefactor he could not have been received with more cordiality, or his opinions accepted with a more hearty endorse- ment, and by none so much as the gallant soldiers who fought in the Confederate ranks. He assured them that he knew from observation something of the Southern people, and he repeated what he told them in the South, that the whole nation will regard the war aa the throe of agony which preceded the birth of the free nation the world has yet known. (Cheers) The speaker then entered 4} a description of the Southern country, of a most flatteri og) and i the trasted its wealth with tho poverty ad seen the workings of the Freedmen’s Burean in Sallsbury on ration day, and would never forget that picture, When he told the Southern people how much the North was progressing by its industry, they thought he was painting a fancy picture. If the people of the North do not furnisn means for education the blacks would exceed the whites in Waraing within five years, He then described the colo: schools, and said that twenty-five per cont of the scholars would be regarded as white people inthe North, It was this fact which induced the Southern leaders to proclaim the doctrine that slavery ‘was the condition of the workingman, for they had too many white slaves to deal with. He deseri the feel ing of the South as favorable to reconstruction. They were taking Northern papers; they understood their po- sition and necded no missionaries; but much good might be done by sending colored men of culture, of whom there were plenty among the colored people. He many in the various States ag specially fitted for that purpose, of whom thelr old masters spoke to him in the highest terms of commendation. If any of bis hearers thought of emigrating he advised them not to go fifteen hundred miles to the West; for within a hours’ travet in North Carolan there wero more advantagos to be had in wator power, mineral products and fine lands. What the South’ wanted was agricultural machinery, phosphates and fertilizers to restore the soil. with an ener- getic population, would make the South blossom like = garden, and would build up a loyal country.
