A few days ago this idea received some encouragement from a cable despatch which sunounced that an alliance had been entered into by France, Austria and Italy. The idea was further encouraged by 4 subse- quent telegram, which gave us in a condensed form the address delivered by the Austrian Prime Minister, Von Beust, on the occasion of his receiving the financial report of the Hun- garian Deputies, In that address Von Boust spoke of the relations of Austria with the neighboring Powers. Since the abandonment of the Italian territories the government of the Emperor had been on a most satisfactory foot- ing with that of his Majesty Napoleon IL, In spite of a disposition, which had not been con- cealed, to be on equally satisfactory terms with Prussia, he could not say that in this latter direction his policy had been equally successful, This remark has since been taken hold of by the Prussian press, and it bas been flatly denied that Prussia’ has refused any overtures which have been made to her on the part of Austria, Nothing but a strong desire to find warlike manifestations could have found in the actual facts other than indications of peace. We do not say that there are not complications out of which war might grow; but we do say that war is not imminent. The prominent European questions of the hour are national, rather than international, With scarcely a single exception every European nation is busy with some ques- tion of domestic reform. This is irue of the small States as well as of the large. It is as true of Bavaria as of Russia, of Turkey as of Sweden. Everywhere the people have become more exacting. Everywhere the gov- ernments find it convenient to yield. In spite of the enormons armaments which are still maintained the peace of Europe has not, per- haps, been so secure at any time these last eighteen years, It is true, however, that there are outsiand- wig-Holstein question is as far from being set- tled as it was on the eve of Sadowa.

The Sun and the World are particularly notorious for this description of newspaper hyperbole. They indulge ao frequently in burlesque and Mun- chausenisms that it is dificult to discover when they tell the truth or relate facts, At one time one of these daily fictions passes preton- tions judgment upon who will and who will not be members of the Cabinet; what shall and what shall not be done with the various offices, from smbassadorships down to tide waiters; arranges under astonishing headings the fabulous gosaip of private clubs, as well as imaginary interviews with distinguished indi- viduals, and often elaborates upon and ex- pands a simple fact so as to envelop the whole narration in fog and mystery. Then, again, we have another of these papers wandering from the proper fields of judicious journalism and poking its nose into the wine cellars, sugar bins and pepper boxes of our grocers aud dealers, and inventing some grim joke about wholesale poisonings that would affright almost any community not accustomed to its vagaries and sensation absurdities. These papers have a notion that this style of journalism was what made the H»ranp. But they are very much mistaken. It was nothing of the aort, If the Heratp in the early days of its unexampled career indulged in amusing relations thore were wit, reason and method in them, as there are at this day. But it was ceaseless vigilance, untiring energy and unrivalled enterprise In the procurement of late and important news—and paying liberally for it—from all parts of the world; it was in gathering and recording interesting local facts and incidents, in advocating local improve- ments that exist to this day and will long oxist as lasting monuments to the onterprise of our citizens as well as to the sagacity of the Tirratp in urging thom; it was in its aid to all grand enterprises in which steam and elec- tricity were concerned, from Professor Morse’s first magnetic telegraph experiment between Baltimore and Washington down to the latest scientific wonder of the age, the laying of the Franco-American cable; it was its fearless ex- posure of official corruptions, and especially in its independent course in exploding the tricks and pricking the bubbles of the stock- jobbers in Wall street, and its zealous support of a sound and well balanced financial system . : a ‘ for the nation generally; it was by engaging ing questions of some imporiance. The Schles- | sities aed 7 ene in measures of great public moment like these and many others that ‘made the Hurazp. At first our merchants and capitalists thought it impossible that an unpretending sheet like the Henanp, conducted upon the cheap cash j plan, should dare to invade the dominion of France, The treaty of Prague, so far as Schleswig-(olstein is concerned, is still a dead letter, and 0 long as itis so a probable eases belli exists between Austria and Prussia, Austria having a claim on French support, The French occupation of Rome is still looked npon by patriotic Italians as an insult to themselves and a wrong to the Roman people. In the evout of a war break- ing out between France and Prassia the na- tional party in Italy might prove themselves too strong to be held in check by Victor Emanuel, and Garibaldi and Mazzini might both find their opportunity. Some little trou- ble may yet grow out of the Suez Canal, but that trouble is not near. Not to-morrow nor next day will the Viceroy proclaim war against his master, the Sultan; and the Sultan will think twice before he so far forgets him- self as to make war upon lia vassal, the strong The continuance of Europe, in spite of all recent changes, depends more upon France than upon any other European Power. Russia, Austria, Pru » are all so much bent on carrying out domestic reforms that nothing but the direst necessity will allow them to | think of war. The amicable and satisfactory | settlement of the Franco-Belgian difficulty has j removed the only cause of war which was really alarming. The present reform move- ment in France has assumed that particular character which, to say the least, renders peace fy The game which Napoleoa tow has in hand is much more important than the humbling of Prussia or the acquisition of a few square miles of ter- | ritory. It is a fact not without deep sigaifi- { cance that, simultaneously with the inangura- tion of sweeping and radical reforms, Napoleon has taken steps to reduce the effective strength of thearmy. We have little doubt that the example of France will be generally imitated. The huge armaments of Europe are a curse not only to the different nations, but to the world, France has an available force of a million of | men, Russia, Prussta and Austria can each Italy 1s oppressing herself and ruining her chances by maintain- ing a large standing army, It is the same all over. War with such forces would be dread- ful. But why should war be necessary? It is the dynasties, not the peoples, that are in- terested in the maintenance of the present condition of things, A grand European federal republic is the only cure for all this waste and consequent misery, Itis the stand- ing armies of Europe that are forcing upon the United States population and wealth, Why whot duriog @ riot onthe night of the 2d inst., yea terday returned a verdict of not guilty.

Its credit for reliability in regard to news once established, over thirty years ago, there was nothing left for the Heratp but a mission of unparalleled pros- perity. The people of that day saw there were no “‘moou hoaxes” in the Hsrarp, like that once paraded in the columns of the old Sun—the grandfather of the present luminary, which seems to have been singularly success- ful in inheriting the prominent weakness of its ancestor, And just as the people thirty odd years ago began to have faith in the Hzraip’s facta and figures, so that faith has been re- tained to the present day, while the mythical club gossip sud buffoonery of the Sun and the humbug and harlequinism of the World are calculated to keep those papers and all others conducted as they are in the background of journalism so long as they shall be suffered to have a glimmering existence at all. No daily newspaper cau ever be substantially established upon a foundation of burlesque. It will be “played out” sooner or later, just as the opéra bouyfe has been “played out” under Bateman, Grau and Fisk, Jr.; and when the papers of thia day appreciate this aud learn to deal in facts, stubborn facls, without diluting them until they become unrecog- nizable in a mass of jokes, rubbish and balder- dash, and when they emulate the Hberality of the Heratp in ransacking every quarter of the globe fresh and relia~ ble intelligence to be presented to its readers, then they may be prepared to enter the fleld of journalism as rivals to the Herarv, and not until then—perhnps not even then. begin to Tawmany Hatt to THe Resovy,—Mr. Tweed, Grand Sachem, has ordered a moeting of the Tammany Society on Monday evening next, for the purpose of deflning her posi- tion on the Cuban question and’ the Irish question, Mayor Hall, Richard O'Gorman and others will speak the gospel according to Tammany, and Tammany will speak to the democracy of the State on the shortcomings of General Grant’s administration, itis a move for our November election, and there Ia some- thing init, Tammany sniffs the battle not far off and is eager for the fray, “Turk Goop Atons Are Great,” —Under this head the Weekly Arizonion, published at Tucson, Arizona Territory, saya;—‘‘Wo ask no better instance of the veracity of this maxim than the fame of the New York HERALD, the greatest journalistic wonder of the age, which is eagerly read by all the great men of Europe and America.” Verily, the extreme Southwest is becoming enlightened, Aut. ve TAILORS are on a strike, These | are the first fellows who ever consulted the in- terests of society in such 4 movement, This is the seagon when we need them least, In A Trapor any tempest is great, There is a bank in Rhode Island w fifty thousand dollars, upon wh ) a capital of | i small amount | some ingenious person has contri | falcate,” and there ia a flurry in o circles thereat, borrow Rhode Island and ruo it? to “‘de- sramorcial Why does not Fisk way or her revolutionary agitators, are taking hold of the woman's suffrage movement. They had a convention in Newburyport on Wednesday, lasting through the day and evening, and a full attendance all the time. A letter was re- ceived from the chief trancendentalist of the old Bay Stato, in which he says that he has too much work before him to take a hand in behalf of woman's suffrage, though he thinks the claim founded in equity, and that although we cannot tell “what precise form in practice it will aad ought to take, yet the seriousness and thoughtfulness with which it is urged seem to me to mark an important step in civiliza- tion.” The agitation of the idea is enough for Emerson. Its development into practice is with him a secondary matter, and so he is in no hurry to end the debate. In the veteran campaigner for negroes’ rights, however, the women of this convention found a man competent to expound their rights and to give his reasons for the faith that is in him. He offered a series of resolutions to this end, iu which {t is affirmed that the natural and inherent rights of one human being are those of every othor, male or female ; that those who deride the clams of women contend for a sexual aristocracy, irrational and unjust; that in such sexual pretensions there ig meanness and usurpation ; that woman as well as man has the right to the highest physical and mental development; that the pretence that in granting equal rights to woman she will become less amiable and rofined and regard- less of her duties as wife and mother, and all that, is perfectly absurd; that the exclusion of woman from her natural rights has been calamitous to the whole human race; that so long as the most ignorant and degraded men are freely ad- mitted to the ballot box it is preposterous to pretend that women are not as well qualified to vote; that it is the coolest assumption for man to claim the prerogative of determining the sphere of woman; that the common law, in giving to the husband the custody of the } wife's person, virtually places her ona level with criminals, lunatics and idiots; that our present democracy is an absurdity, since it de- prives woman even of the political power al- lowed her in Europe, &c., &c.; all of which resolutions were enthusiastically adopted, after & pungent speech by the veteran Garrison, and some other speeches and letters. Among the letters was one from Professor Crosby, ‘going the whole critter” for woman's rights, suffrage, political offices and all. He would have for the town government select- women as well as selectmen, and men and women on school boards, and so on up to the State Legislature. Here he would have two representative bodies, meeting in different rooms of the State Honse—one of men, chosen by men, the other of women, chosen by women-—and he would have the concurrence of beth bodies, as now, necessary to the pas- sage of any act. This would secure the just equality of the sexes. It occurs to us, how- ever, that to carry out this idea of sexual equality we must have two Presidents—a man President, elected by the men, and a woman President, elected by the women—and that the consent of both must bo required for the approval of any law passed by the concurrence | of the men’s branch and the women’s branch of | Congress. These are startling propositions; but they are the logical developments from the main idea of woman's right to an equal voice in our political affairs and to an equal share in | the spoils of office, not indirectly, but directly, as representing one-half the population; and on the other claim advanced in behalf of women by Mrs. Howe—the claim of woman as the mother of the whole human family. But for all this the propositions of Professor Crosby sre so very novel and alarm- ing that we fear he will never lve to see the day dawn of “the good time coming” in his anticipated mill ennium, ons a { Tuk ADMINISTRATION AND MISsissivii,—— Some of the radical Washington correspond- ents are giving out a report that the President and Cabinet are not in sympathy with the Dent movement in Mississippi.

Mr. Boutwell first, and now Mr. Creswell, have attempted to interfere in the local affairs of Tennessee in favor of the ultra radicals and for political ends. Of course it was supposed by these gentlemen that their official position as members of Gen- eral Grant's Cabinet would have great weight in the elections and in turning the scale favor- ably for the ultra radical party. The effect may be contrary to what they expected, and the voters of Tennessee may be indignant at the conduct of these officials; but whatever may be the result, both Mr. Boutwell and Mr. Creswell have gone beyond their duty and are guilty of impertinent interference in the af- fairs of Southern State. It is an outrage upon the people of Tennessee and a disgrace to the administration of which they form a part. The questiog gaturally arises, did the Presidont know of and endorse the action of these members of his Cabinet? We are in- clined to think he did not, for in such a case he would be committed to that branch of the radical party which is being defeated nearly everywhere in the South, Ho would be abandoning the conservative views he has expressed and would destroy the hopes of the country in his government, We believe Gen- eral Grant wishes to give the people of the South and the poople in every Siate a fair And unbiassed expression of thefr opiolong, t If so, and if he docs not intond to commit himself to the policy of the ultra radicals, his Cabinet is not in accord with him and not a unit, With such discord and independent ac- tion on the part of its members the adminis- tration will become weak, unpopular and a failure, The first thing to give strength and efficiency to his government. is to have unity and harmony in the Cabinet. Let the Presi- dent look (o this, for the country will hold him responsible for the conduot of members of the administration, The Carlist Failure in Spain. ‘The Carlist insurrection, which was not long since introduced to the notice of our readers by « sensational account of the flight of Don Carlos to the Spanish frontier, pursued by the French police, has come to an abrupt termina- tion, if we may credit the telegrams from Ma- drid, The few Carlists that rose in arms were everywhere dispersed, several were made pri- soners and either banished or promptly executed by court martial, Don Carlos himself is said to have discountenanced any further attempts on the part of his followers tor the present, and is probably as anxious to escape from the country now as he once was to enter it. His party must either be contemptible or contemp- tibly organized, promising in either case to make but little mark in the history of their country, It is not without surprise that we read of such a paltry termination to what promised to be a formidable insurrection, While we never anticipated anything but fail- ure to the enterprise, we yet expected that Don Carlos would have shown more pluck and determination than to suffer himself to be scared by afew musket shots, Stfll, for hu- manity’s sake, it is better the affair should end thus soon than later, and we hope the new Regent and his Cabinet will deal leniently with those that have been arrested, who re- present themselves, and no doubt truly, as having been deceived by the emissaries of Don Carlos. The government that now exists in Spain seems, on the whole, the best and strongest that has ruled that country within the present century, and the probabilities are in favor of its being able to crush every attempt, reac- tionary or otherwise, that may be made against it. Serrano and his colleagnes have shown their sagacity in going neither too fust nor too slow, and if they can get over their Cuban difficulty by disposing of the island to our government in such a way as to replenish their empty treasury they will have strength- ened themselves on their weakest and most vulnerable side; for Spain, like Italy, has men enough for any war agaiast any aggressor, but has neither means nor credit enough, ex- cept at a ruinous interest, to equip them with all the appliances made necessary by the im- provements of modern wartare, A Bia Tarya From Cuwwa—The Chinese giant, Chang, eight feet six inches high, who has come over in the steamship Denmark.
