The lesson is an instructive one to those who may be tempted to espouse the cause of hum- bug and dictate terms to a public journal. The Movement iu Italy and tho Position of Victor Emanuel. The movement in Italy for the liberation of Rome and the union of the Papal territory with the kingdom advances with such rapid strides that the ink which records one striking event is hardly dry before nows of others is flashed through the Atlantic cable. The last received is highly interesting in several points of view. General Garibaldi was marching on Rome, and was in sight of the city. The amount of his force ig not siated, but it was divided into two columns, and the Papal troops were rereatng before the victorious insurgents, The whole of Italy seems to be in a state of fermentation. The ardor and deter- mination of the Italian patriots appear irre- sistible, so that if the fate of Rome were to rest oa the Italians alone, there would be litle doubt of the result, But we learn at th» same time that the French fleet had sailed from Toulon for Civita Vecchia, The mission of this fleet, doubtless, is to interfere in the affairs of Italy, to defend the temporal power of the Pope, and to make war on the Garibaldians. It remains: to be seen how far the Italian pa!riots may be able to resist the formidable intervention of France. That Power thrown into the scale on the side of the Pope makes the contest very doubtful at present The news of approaching events, therefore, will be anxiously looked for throughout the civilized world, and particularly in the United States, But what) position does Victor Emanuel occupy at this critical tims? Evidently he is much embarrassed. In opposing the popular movement, or by not going with it and con- trolling it, and thus yielding to the policy and dictation of the Freach government, he makes himself the vassal of Napoleon. He puts not only Rome but also Italy at the feet of France, and he virtually dethrones himself. Though he is a brave soldier he shows @ want of moral courage and sagacily in this great crisis, He talks about his obligations, under the conven- tion with France, not to disturb the Pope or annex the Papal territory. He forgets that the voice of a whole nation—of a nation of twenty-six millions of people—is superior to all conventions, particularly when forced upon an unwilling people by the sell- ish diplomacy of a foreign Power. Great popular movements cannot be bound by such conventions. Nor are governments bound by them when in the way of their policy or inte- rests, Napoleon will not be bound by this one witb Victory Emanuel. By ordering his fleet to Italy he shows low little he respecté either his treaty obligations or the sentiments of an indo- pendent nation and an ally. Where Napoleon had one reason for intervening in the affairs of Italy and Rome Victor Emanuel had many and powerful ones to resist the intervention to the “last extremity. He has humiliated Italy, and in doing so runs the greatest risk of losing the affection and allegiance of the Italian people. This view of Victor Emanuel’s position is predicated upon the presumption that he is really opposed to tie movement of the Italian patriots, We might have thought his opposi- tion feigned and his real wish covered up, for the purpose of throwing dust in the eyes of Napoleon and the ultramontane party, had he not permitted intervention against the Italians to go so far; but when he declines to take possession of Rome, and stands still while another French expedition sails for that city, we must conclude he has aban- doned the cause of Tilalian unity out of fear and at the dictation of the French. If be had been wise and had possessed moral courage enough when the movement assumed the grand proportions it has ne would have entered Rome before the French could have started to that city, and then have proclaimed to France and the world a fait accompli. Then he could have explained the necessity for taking such a step, could have shown it was the only way to settle a troublesome question and preserve the peace of Italy and Europe, could have appealed to the sympathy of man- kind, and then could have entered into nego- tiatious with the French and other govern- men's on the basis of what he had done. Sach course, probably, would have prevented the intervention of Napoleon, There might have been some sharp diplomatic talk, but tt is not likely any French fleet or French soldiers would have been sent to Rome. At all events the Italians would have rallied with remarka- ble unanimity to support their brave King. He would have become the most popular mon- arch in Europe. It is not likely that Napoleon would have made war on the King to drive him out of Rome and to maintain the temporal power of the Pope ; but if even he should have attempted it, twenty-six millions of brave and ardent Italians, with the sympathy of the ciy- ilized world to back them, would have been a match on their own soil for Franca. nowerfhy| as she is. vest aye But Yietor Emanuel seems to have lost the opportunity of iaking himself great and all ftaly united. Perhaps he bas been unwisely playing a game in behalfof the dynasties and against the democratic tendencies of the peo- ple. He may bave dreaded this popular move- ment more than the threats of Napoleon or military power of France. His brother mon- archs may have advised him to stem the progress of democratic s. Bal, whatover may have been the cause of his incomprehen- sible conduct, be has, we are persuaded, made His unpopularity and trouble have jast begun, as we sce in the difficulty about forming « ministry, The popular gen- eral, Craldini, was not willing to enter the ministry, lor bis heart is with the Italian people and their cause. He is not disposed to favor the King’s French policy probably, may be looking to the future when he may lead the Italian patriots ina wer for Rome and Tialian independence. Victor Emanuel bas bumiliated Taly and placed himself in an unpopular and most difficult position. He did Italy some ser- vice in times gone by, but he has done, prob- ably, all he can do, Young Italy now needs another chief and leader. The best thing he can do, therefore, is to abdicate in favor of one of his sous, Humbert or Améd6e, ‘hese young men have seen service in the field, aro brave and full of fire, and betier represent the vigor, | neglect oi incompetency.

Unless he should do this or totally abandon his timid pro-French policy, both he and his dynasty may be swept away ere long by the revolution, The County Ca lates=The Ouly Chance for the Soldiers. Out of the three political organizations that have put candidates into the field for county offices at this election, the republicans alone have recognized the claim: of the soldiers who .fought in the Union army for the suppression of the rebellion. They have placed upon their ticket the names of five men, three for the val- uable positions of Sheriff, County Clerk and District Attorney, and two for Coroners, who fought and bled in the late war, while their op- “ponents have entirely ignored the soldiers and conferred their honors upon polilicians. Nothing could be more proper than for the city of New York, having the largest interest in the preservation of the goverment, 'o bestow honors an emoluments upon thoss who were instru- mental in preventing its overthrow; and yet the soldier candidates are certain to be de- feated by @ majority reaching tens of thou- sands, They do not stand a chance of sucess, not because their services are unrecognized, but because they are put forward as the nom- inees of men who have initiaced a war of races; of a party prepared, in its gree.l for power, to place ten States of the Union under the terror- ism of black barbarians, aud to yield a con trolling share of the government of the United States into the hands of sem'-savage negroes. As the representatives of so devased a policy, they cannot expect support in an enlightened community like that of New York city. There is, however, one mexns left open by which they may retrieve their desperate for- tunes, Nothing is more certain than that a large proportion of the m:n who fonght in the war deprecate in their hearts the policy of the stay-at-home radicals, who desire, now that the fighting is over, to fasten negro supremacy upon the country a8 a means of perpetuating their own power. Let the soldiers upon the republican county ticket come boldly out and repudiate all sympathy or connection with the extreme radical programm: of negroizing the governmeat; let them declare that they are opposed to plunging ten States of the Union into worse than Mexican barburism, that they will never consent that negroes shall fill seats in the United States Senate and hold a balance of power in the national government, and they may yet succeed in gaining the positions for which they have been put in nomination. The struggle now is between the intellect of the white man and the savage barbarism of the black. Let the soldiers of the Union army, who are now before the people of New York for their suffrages, declare in favor of their own race and their own color, and they may yet secure the reward to which their services in the field justly entitle them. Arrest of a State Senator om a Charge vi of Bribery. Senator Humphrey, who represented the Thirtieth district of the State of New York in the last Legislature, has been arrested and held to bail in Albany on a distinct charge of having received a bribe of five hundred dollars to influence his action as a member of the Sen- ate Railroad Committee in regard to a bill to allow the Manhattan Railway Company to con- struct certain tunnels and railroads in this city. Senator Humphrey has been renominated by the republicans of his district, and the present proceedings will bring to a practical test cer- tain rumors that have been put in circulation reflecting upon his integrity as a legislator. It will, however, be immaterial which way the trial may go. Hitherto such affairs have been nothing more than broad farces, and have served to render the parties engaged in them ridiculous, But if Senator Humphrey should be convicted he will only have proved himself the fitter candidate for the State Legislature, and should receive the unanimous support of all parties in his district, unless, indeed, it be regarded as a mean job for a Senator to sell himself so low as five hundred dollars, and as improperly depressing the market for Assom- blymen and lobbymen. On this ground there may be some objection to Humphrey ; other wise the mere fact of taking a brive will be in his favor, and will prove that he is even better fitted for the State Legislature than for the State Prison. National Thankegiving—The President’s Proclamation. +In yesterday’s Herat we published the Pre- sident’s proclamation in which he recommends that “the 28h day of November next be set apart and observed throughout the republic as ‘aday of national thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty Ruler of nations, with whom are Yominion and fear, and who makes peace in his high places, resting and retraining trom secu- lir labor on that day.’’ There can be no dbubt that the recommendation will be heartily and generally attonded to. It is scarcely neces- ry to express the hope that Governors of Sates will see the propriety of yielding to the President’s recommendation, so that the 28th day of November be held as a day of thanks- giting all over the Union. - ae Boiler Explosions.
