Never, perhaps, have the national and inter- national politics of Europe presented features so peculiar as they do at the present moment. All our latest cable despatches, as well as the letters of our special correspondents, not to speak of the tone of the European press, prove that the general situation is peculiar and em- barrassing in the extreme, There is the Span- ish revolution, with its many delicate and dan- gerous uncertainties. There is the rather alarming collision between the French govern- ment and the French preas—a collision which, as matters now stand, threatens to give a bulk anda force tothe opposition ranks such as they have not had since the re-establishment of the empire. There is the jealousy between Franceand Prussia—a jealousy which time, in place of removing. increases and intensities, ‘The ip/City of Baltimore, Captain of the Inman liné, will leave pier No. 46 North river | at one P, wp and Liver- Pool, zm ie “47 bs at the Post NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1868. This view of the case is greatly strengthened by the fact that, while Lord Stanley is increas ing the reputation of the Disraeli ministry in England, by his skilful management of Mr. Reverdy Johnson and the Alsbama claims, he has conceived the idea of negotiating with all the Powers of Europe with the view of finally ending this war panic—a panic which is be- ginning to be felt in Great Britain as well as on the Continent to be worse than actual war. Lord Stanley's idea is no doubt a noble one. We wish him to carry it out and we shall rejoice in his success, Meanwhile we are dealing more with facts than with possibilities ; and in any view of the case the facts must be regarded as ominous. Your Alabama Ciaim—“Two te One You Don’t Get It.” We are somewhat amused at the version given by our Washington correspondent of the arrangement made for the settlement of our Alabaina claims with England. - If this be the true text of the basis upon which we are to arrange our difficulties it\ reminds us of the meaning of the three balls hung up in front of the pawnbrokers’ shops, in- dicating when you place anything in pawh,” “two to one you don't get it.” Two English Commissioners to one from the United States— that’s cool, and can only come from the fertile brain of such a profound statesman as W. H. Seward. We are somewhat tired of this English lovemaking of Mr. Reverdy Johnson. He is in every way disgracing us. His diplomatic dinners mean the payment of the English rebel cotton bondholders’ debt, and it is for this that we see the English privateer builders em- bracing the American Minister at the Court of St. James. Our Alabama claims should first be presented for payment to the United States government. The bill should then be for- warded to England for payment, and if this be refused we have the means close at hand to fully indemnify ourselves. What we want, however, is not cash, but an apology for the war waged indirectly against us by Eng- land during our struggle for national existence. Of money we have plenty, but much as we have we can ill afford to allow England to launch her piratical vessels upon our com- merce, playing the part of Algiers, whenever we have any nutional trouble. ‘Tae Kiets in New Orleans—General Rous. spaws Keport.

There is the peculiar internal condition of Austria and the startling prominence which Hun- gary has assumed among the nationalities which constitute the Austrian empire. There is the no longer concealed determination of Russia to make common cause with Prussta in the event of the latter Power being attacked by France, the more especially if Austria mani- fest any Freuch proelivities, Over and above all these questions, which are more or less local in the range of their influence, there is the growing disposition of all the peoples of the Enropean Continent to particlpate in the privileges and reeponsibillties of government. Sueh, in brief, is the situation as it presents itself to the student of the national and in- | ternational politics of Europe. Thus, looking at the state of affairs in Enrope, we are barred from coming to the conclusion that the nations of that Continent are now in « stable or satisfactory condition. That Europe is on the eve of a great crisis no one at all acquainted with the facts of the case can for a moment refuse to admit. A general outburst is imminent. Where the first explo- sion ix to take place it is not so easy to say. {t may be In Spain; it may be on the Whine; it may be on the Danube. We may have another Peninsular campaign ov a grand scale, or another another Crimean war. Much depends on the course which events now in progress in France will ultimately take. If leon seems resolved to push at all hazards, take a turn injurious to his interests, a foreign wat may he found to be ® convenience. It is not at all impossible that events in Spain may invite a Freneh occupation, and whatever might be the effect of such an occupation throughout Europe generally, it would unques- tionably command a certain amount of popu- the effect of temporarily diverting attention from domestic questions, If, however, Spain such a mantier a4 to prevent anarchy and com- | mand externel respect, an invasion of the | Pevinsuln ty French troops would be franght | with serious possibilities.

A war with Prussia would unquestionably be popular in France. Botb nations are strong. Both are well armed and in every respect ready for ac- tion, Each is’ impatient to try the strength of the other. Such an event is almost fearfal larity in France, while it could not fail to have | election riots in New Orleans. This claborate report, which we publish this morning, is a clear, pointed and impartial history of the events which preceded and accompanied the election. The leaders of the republican party, it appears, advised the negroes not to ‘nttempt to vote, as such an attempt might result in riot and bloodshed. General Rousseau re- marks :—‘“‘I¢ was neither in my place nor in my powor to hunt up the colored voters who pur- posely remained in their houses and drag them to the polls.” He adds :—‘‘My duty was simply to aid in checking and suppressing violence to the full ext#nt of the means at my command, and to prevent the public peace being broken. This I did.” For the strict impartiality and freedom from political bias with which, ag became an officer of the United States army, he strove earnestly to maintain the public peace General Rousseau deserves well of the republic. Moreover, moderate men of all parties must accept as just his strong denun- ciations of the indiscreet and unwarrantable course pursued during these troubles by cor- tain ‘‘onworthy members of the republican party, who, caring little for the United States and less for the permanent reconstruction of the State, sought only their personal aggran- dizement, aiming to do the most offensive things in the most offensive way and seeming to desire collision and bloodshed as necessary political capital.” Of such “‘anworthy mem- bers” a most flagrant example is Dr. South- worth, one of the republican campaign committee, who, “while in hiding at General Rousseaw’s headquarters,” added. to his decla- ration that his committee would advise the negroes to vote these horrible words :—‘‘Let them be slaughtered. The more there are killed the better it will be for our party.” It is encouraging that, according to General Rousseau’s report, such examples of bitter- ness on one side and corresponding examples on the other are now comparatively rare, and that “‘the great body of the people of New Orleans are law-abiding and entirely friendly to the government of the United States.” Let us have peace. The Verdiet in the Fulton KWerry Case. We publish in another column. a communi- cation from the foreman of the coroner's jury in the case of the late Fulton ferry disaster on the 14th instant, by which the boy George Brewer lost his life and so many people were jajured. The writer justifies the verdict upon the ground that the testimony showed that the tide alone was the cause of the fatal collision, and that had the passengers obeyed the call from the pilot deck to stand back when the collision was about to take place there would have been “‘nobody hurt.” The jury, he says, | found nothing In, the evidence upon which to | rebuke the company. It was all the fault of the tide. Now, we will answer this conclusion by asking a fow questions. How did it hap- pen that while at least ten boats equally, or nearly equally, filled with passengers bad crossed the ferry within the same hour and in the same condition of the tide no accident oc- curred except in this instance? Did the tide just at that moment conspire against an unskil- ful, half-fledged pilot, and let the competent, reg- ular pilot escape? How happens it that while ; the tide rnns just a6 strong and is in procisely the same stage at that hour of the morning at least once every month, and that the boats are quite as crowded abont that time, no such to contemplate ; for, while it would be one of the fiercest and most terrific struggles on re- cord, it could soarcely fail to beget complica- tions which would convert Burope into one Great battle field. The only reason why such accident as this has ocourred beforo? It is temarkable that the collison should have hap- pened wnder these circumstances when an incompetent man was at the wheol, and, yet the jury could not find it in their hearts to blame y { a l the ferry company or any one or anything | too, that except the tide.

They shame not re; they shame not the dead, heart is sufficient to hold him. No ian can insult my tears. I come tot claim but one thing—‘‘justice.”” Whatever were the offences of my poor brother, every man deserves joy tice. We boast that it is equa! and exact to ail. Is assassination not murder? Is tt ever justifiable? Is the element of assassination ever to be al- lowed in any mode of taking redress? And whe im ail the black achievements and crooked patis crime, has there been the equal of this deed? Con- sidering all ita circumstances, where has the post of the assassin, the place of concealment, ever belore been chosen with such hideous solicttude for his own safety? Where has cowardice ever before barricaded: itself with such dastardly pains? Let justice ve done. Let all true people reconsider.

Ithas been said in behalf of Larkin that he was a very amiable and good-natured fellow even in his cups. It is not very good evi- dence, let us say, of amiability of character to roam throuzh the streets all night armed with loaded pistols; to get into three fights, and the last a faial one. However, it is to be hoped that the investigation will be so impartially conducted as to throw full light upon this bloody, transaction and let the public know how far the accused was goaded, either by irritation or by fear of his life, into committing the dreadful deed. But in any case it is almost too much to hope that bloody collisions between parties of the class to which the actors in this affair belong can be prevented as long as every one of them goes armed with the threefold source of mischief—whiskey, uncontrollable passion and deadly weapons. Tug OrGanists AFTER GiaNt.—The repub- lican organists are after Grant. It is whis- pered that Thurlow Weed is about to purchase the Washington whiskey ring organ, with the object of making it the official mouthpiece of the new administration, and the curious bi- ography of the old lobby fox which appeared in the columns of that journal a few days ago gives color to the rumor. Report associates Raymond with the vontuse, and his positive denial of its truth is calculated rather to strengthen its reliability. Atall events, the gossip has terribly alarmed Greeley, who comes out with un open bid for the position, and offers his Washington bureau to Grant for all the purposes of a party organ. We incline to the belief that General Grant will be his own organist, and that Weed, Raymond, Greeley and all the rest of the political ad- venturers will be puzzled to. find out what tune he intends to play.
