Spain does not say she does not want the Prince Leopold. Prussia does not say she discourages his candidature. The various European Powers do not say that they are prepared to interfere in what does not seem to be anybody's business, All over the feeling seems to be that France is too sensitive. If Spain wants the Prince Leopold to bo King, and if Prince Leopold is willing to make his head uneasy under the most worthless crown in Europe, Spain and Prince Leopold ought to be allowed to do as they please. Such seems to be the European sentiment. But France is in an agony of ex- citement. Lower and lower the rentes de- scend, War preparations go on on a gigantic scale, The French army is ready to obey the signal to cross the Pyrenees and to march across the Rhine. Tho Emperor remains at St. Cloud, but couriers arrive every moment bearing the latest news. Ordera have been given to the commandant of the French fleet at Cherbourg to be ready to take on board some thirty thousand troops. The French press cries out more loudly than ever against Prussia, and demands not only that Prussia discounte- nance the candidature of the Prince Leopold, but that she fulfil the conditions of the treaty of Prague. Prince Napoleon, it is added, has set out for Copenhagen to effect a treaty with Sweden and Denmark. A livelier situation it is not possible to conceive. To-morrow this fresh bubble may burst; but to-morrow may witness the two most gigantio military Powers of Europe in deadly couflict. The situation is one which is more than ordinarily suggestive. It is safe, we think, to say that most men qualified to judge are of the opinion that France has revealed an un- necessary amount of sensitiveness. Itis safe to say that Prussla has revealed a large amount of dignity and indifference. It is safe also to say that most men, and most nations too, would just as soon see these two national bullies try their strength and skill. It will to many be a source of regret if this fresh op- portunity passes by leaving the two bullies shaking their fists at each other. All men everywhere are convinced that sooner or later France and Prussia must settle cer- tain outstanding questions by an appeal to the sword. As well now as later. Better for mankind at large that this fight, which is ine- vitable, should come off at once. Wo know what the needle gun cando. We are anxious to know what the Chassepot can do. Until this fight is over Europe must be oppressed by the weight of standing armies, and some of the most beautiful portions of the Old Conti- nent must remain barren and worthless. This impending fight over, Europe will enter upon a new lease of life. Should France come off victorious progress will be checked, Should Prussia win the gain will be a gain not only to Germany, but to humanity. At the present moment it is extremely diffi- cult to see the ead from the beginning. Aus- tria would not be sorry to see Prussia hum- bled. Denmark shares the feeling of Austria. The King of Saxony and some of his royal friends would not be sorry to know that they were once again the equals of their royal brother at Berlin. The outside European Powers would perhaps rather see Prussia tri- umphant, But France is armed to the teeth and full of fight. Should war break out it is not easy to say which would win. It is not difficult, however, to perceive that out of this conflict many strange things will grow. It will be necessary for the French troops to leave Rome. What then will become of the Pope? Jt will not be possible for France to dictate to Russia, What then will become of the Sultan? The American officers now in the service of the Khedive will not lose the opportunity of making Egypt independent, and thus laying the foundations of a new em- pire on the banks of the Nile, Russia might drag Great Britain iato the fray, and so from the Rhine to the Indus two continents would blaze. French pride and German love of unity have created for usa fine prospect. We can look at it with some indifference. Another great war might do Europe good. It will not cer- tainly do us any harm, At the same time we shall not be sorry if the explanations of Prussia put France into a better and wiser frame of mind, It is useless any longer to say that France is Europe and that Burope is the world, To many nations now it is a mat- ter of comparative indifference whether France is contented or not. No one knows so well as Napoleon that war on the present issue would be foolish. Tis good sense may yet restrain France, A conference may yet settle peace- fally all this trouble. Tor New Post Orrice.—We hope that metnbers of Congress will not forget that the appropriation for the new Post Office in this city is not sufficient to carry the work along until the next session. The building should be pushed forward, for until it is completed the City Hall Park cannot be made to suit the designs of the Commissioners and Broadway must continue to be more or less obstracted, Toe Fixe Arts IN Evrort.—A_ special correspondent presents for the information of our readers a fine pen and ink exposi- tion of the Palace of Industry in Paris, The communication notes the progress of art fy the Old World, the trials, troubles and rewards of its apostles, Landscape painting, seulp- art, its critics and female students are treated yalue to the eervice, as they remove all doubts on what was doubiful before, and are in many fespects calculated to increas» tho discipline And efficiency of tho navy. ina very useful manner. Any lengthened comment on the letter would be out of place, | in fact superfluous, as the details speak of an essential principle, which is unchangeable, heard in the brick-built city. Several of the churches, too, were closed. Doubtless the physical strength and mental faculties of their pastors had become exhausted by six months of hard labor for the conversion of sinners, Weak in body and barren of ideas, it was but natural for them to seek repose in some secluded spot like Long Branch or Paris, where they can recover strength and engender ideas in readiness for the fall season. As for the congregations, perhaps they feared lest if they prayed during the summer they would have no sing to pray for in the winter, And, next to the passion of exhibiting dresses and jewelry in the service of the Lord, nothing gives so much satisfaction to your fashionable church goers as the knowledgo that they have sins to pray for. Yesterday the attendants at the churches were worthy of that class which does not attire itself in fine raiment. Nevertheless there were some notable summer suits at the Northwest Reformed church, where Rev. Mr. Ganse announced that “ihe Sunday services wonld be discontinued till the cool breezes of October shall breathe on the nerves of the young Christians of the ward,” after which the reverend gentleman delivered a sermon on “Living Things,” in which be referred patheti- cally to the toad and eel, and requested the congregation to recognize in the meanest crea- ture the hand of the Almighty. By all means let us do so, even though our faith be severely tried by such mean creatures as mus- quitoes. The Progressive Spiritualists at Apollo Hall listened to a vigorous discourse against worldly wealth and a laudation of spiritual wealth which must have greatly pleased them, considering that from outward appearance they are millionnaires in the latter. This subject of wealth was referred to by sev- eral preachers, Rev. Dr. Vinton, in an able and eloquent sermon at Trinity church, ex- pressed the opinion that it could not confer true freedom. But although he argued strongly to show what a slave the rich man was, we fear that some of his hearers were willing to wear the golden chains. Dr. Deems, at the Church of the Strangers, delivered an impressive sermon on “‘apostolic experiences,” and “‘Scrip- ture justification” was explained at the Allen street Methodist church by Rev. Mr. Noble. “Religious and secular life” formed the sub- ject for a profound argument by Professor Greene, and the Rev. Charles B. Smyth dis- coursed on “faith in the Almighty.” At Cal- vary Baptist church Rev. R. S. McArthur told how the good fight had been and was to be fought, while in Brooklyn Brother Beecher delivered a sermon on the personal following of Christ, without a single laugh in it. In a word, the religious discourses of yesterday, not only in this city, but in Brooklyn, Jersey City, Washington and the summer resorts were as earnest and convincing as could be expected at this time of the year. We regret exceedingly, after doing so much to advance the cause of religion, that the Herarp should have been avathematized yes- terday by a bishop, and a prophet at thaty It made our blood run cold on reading Bishop Snow’s sermon, After deneuncing a contem- porary for having told ‘‘a blasted lie,” ho opened vigorously upon the Hxratp, which he denounced as being ‘‘written for by rogues and fiars, inspired by the devil.” Furthermore he alluded to this paper by name as a “dirty, ignorant, shabby, filthy, infernal rag.” He next expressed the opinion that we were ‘‘as able and witty a3 the devil. He believed the Herarp afraid of Christ's coming. “But Christ will come in spite of it,” said Snow, “and then I will have the satisfaction of seeing that paper and all connected with it so low in the mire that I can kick and tram- ple on them to my heart’s content.” We have tried to imagine the Hxratp Building and all connected with it sunk in a mud puddle and Snow hanging on by the lightning rod vigor- ously engaged ing kicking performance, but the picture is too harrowing. Really, the Christian sentiments of the prophet were appalling, and we rejoice to find in the close of the report that he left ‘‘the Hiraxp and all other such vile sheets to the vengeance of God.” We pray for time in which to repent. Such a sermon as that of Snow in the dog days is suggestive of rabies, and if the prophet has never been bitten by a mad dog then all we can say is that he ought to have been. Mrs. Loycoun’s Pension Brut, providing for a pension of three thousand a year, was up on Saturday in the Senate, the question being upon its passage. During the debate on the pill Mr, Yates, of Illinois, declared that he didn’t care what others might say; he knew that Mrs, Lincoln and all her family (the Yodds, of Kentucky) sympathized with the rebellion during its existence, and he wouldn't vote a dollar for her upon which to make a show of herself in Europe. Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, proposed that Senators, out of their own pockets, should raise a purse for the poor lady, and promised to give as much as Sumner to the fund, Mr. Sumner being the author of the bill, Then a motion was made “to lay the bill on the table, which failea— twenty-four to thirty-three—from which there still appears to be a chance for the pension. From ‘“‘a decent respect for the opinions of mankind” it ought to be passed, without further chaffering or abuse of the poor widow or cruel insinuations against her loyalty, which, till now, no man in Congress has had the bardihood to qnostion, Verily, these Pharigees of Congress are like those of old, for ‘they strain at a gnat and swallow a | camel.” a Toe Farr or Fes | settled to-day in the Sen probably be This whole ture, with the subjects of the new school of | batch of appointments—Murphy as Collector, | Hillhonse ag Assistant Treasurer, Grinnell as | Naval Officer, in place of General Merritt—are all anti-Fenton, and the shystering politicians | think the whole movement means that General | Grant has made up his mind to pat Pentea and his faction into the back seats of the Now York synagogue. We think it simply means that General Grant is acting without reference to these squabbling factions. At all events these appointments have raised a fearful fuss among the spoilsmon, which apparently will not be settled whatever may bo the action of the Senate; but we shall aee. The European International Trades Union Movement, On the 22d of June the Sixth Chamber of the Correctional Tribunal of Paris opened prosecution for the government against thirty- eight persons charged with having violated the law prohibiting secret societies, inasmuch as they are alleged members of the Interna- tional Association—so called—of Workingmen. Only thirty-one responded at roll-call in court, seven having fled fiom France. Four of those who were present had been held in close im- prisonment as ringleaders, the rest remaining at liberty on their own recognizance. The indictment made out by the police in this caso is a most curious and instructive document, full of minute details concerning the organiza- tion and workings of the immense society at which it is levelled. From its voluminous pages we can here do no more than select and condense the main points that illustrate one of the most remarkable and formidable move- ments of our troublous time. To begin with, it ascribes the first idea of international asso- ciation and correspondence between the work- ingmen of different countries to Mazzini, who, in attempting to carry out his idea of com- bining this power for revolutionary purposes, called at the Tenth Radical Republican Con- gress, held in 1863, at Palermo, for a commit- tee to draft a federative code and compact for all the trades unions in the world. From this basis sprang the existing immense association, which now numbers, in Europe alone, nearly a million of adherents, distributed as follows :— In France, 433,785; in Germany, 150,000; in Austria and Hungary, 100,000; in England, 80,000; in Switzerland, 45,226; in Spain, 2,718. Moreover, while, without having the exact figure, we know that the trades societies of the United States number a large army, the vote of the workingmen here is computed at nine hundred thousand ballots could it all be cast together. This imposing force has not, as the reader may readily conjecture, been brought into correspondence without great activity and effort on the part ofits organizers. Subsequently to the Palermitan convocation in 1868 a hugo meeting was held in London under the pretext of aiding the Poles, and there a French committee was appointed with its permanent centre at Paris. This commit- tee at once proceeded to organize subordinate committees, issue manifestoos, collect contri- butions and prepare the way for a congress of the workingmen of all Europe and the appoint- ment by it of a universal controlling board, to be composed of representatives of every na- tionality. The statutes of the society wore based upon those of the famous Workingman’s Fratel- lanza (or fraternity) of Italy, and its declara- tions against existing governments and laws of property were radically violent. Its first great congress was held at Lausanne, in Switzerland, and was joined by the associa- tions of students and the Renaissance Club. It subsequently met at Basle, and thon at Brus- sels, the Belgian capital. Garibaldi was represented at the Swiss convocation and at the Belgian. Messrs. Hugo, Blanqui, Roche- fort and many other scarcely less distinguished radicals wert active participants. They then and there denounced the existing laws of property and inheritance, and proclaimed the sovereignty of ‘‘collective humanity.” After- wards, in France, the branch societies were prosecuted at Paris in 1868, but they have managed, nevertheless, to keep up close rela- tions with the central committee of the trades unions in London and to intervene in every sirike that has since then taken place in Europe, including the recent grand riots at Creuzot, Fourchambault and Verviers. In 1868, when several members were convicted and fined by the courts at Paris, the working- men of the United States began to appear actively on the scene of the ‘Tuternationals’ ” operations, when the artisans of Chicago sent three hundred and fifty dollars to the relief of their French brethren. By the indictment the Marseillaise is designated as the Paris organ of this whole movemont, and the field of operations is shown to extend over both hemi- spheres. At the session of the 22d of June the ac- cused, while not explicitly refuting the facts of history adduced against the ‘International Association,” still strenuously denied the charge that itis a secret society, and, after some minor debate, the case was postponed for a week, In the course of a few days, then, we shall probably have complete details of an investigation that will throw light upon the real secret of European unrest. It often happens that the shallowest waters inake the most babbling noise and toss up the frothiest ripples, and so it is that questions of dynasties and thrones amuse the uppertendom of the world, who live on the crust of the social volcano, utterly unconscious of the terrific forces accumulating beneath and around them. All the grandest operations of nature are conducted in com- parative silence, and thus are the great, grim, toiling multitude quietly but incessantly pre- paring a simultaneous movement of such vast range and fearful power as may whelin all minor issues beneath its billows as the waves of the angry ocean engulf the stray leaves and cockle shells that chance to fall on its surface or are scattered at its margin. From all the testimony that can be gathered, and from the warnings of the societies them- selves, it is quite apparent that a simultaneous strike of every trade together may be attempted in Europe at the first opportunity. In the United States there is neither fair pretext nor decent occasion for anything of the kind. But abroad the parching drought, the deficiency of crops, the continually harassing imminence of war have worked the revolutionary elements up to frenzy that cannot much longer be kept from a disastrous outbreak. Should the Spanish comedy, over which the Cabinets of Europe are now smiling, lead to another mus- ter of conflicting armies, an irruption of the French across the Pyrences, and the old, familiar orchestra of guns among the Alps and on the Rhine, the prediction of Prince Na- poleon Bonaparte that the map of Europe will | be reconstructed by the hauds of toil ere 1872 ‘much further, may be fulfilled, even should the prdphet Bi self never establish the supremacy of his own dynasty, as his cousin the Emperor's repro- sentative, at Madrid. Of the terrors and con- flicts of human passion which must accompany so dire an upheaval of confusiag elements past revolutions afford us but a faint criterion, Tho Outrages on Americaus iu Cuba, From documents recently furnished the Senate by the Prosident it appears that nine American citizens have been executed in Cuba during the pending war, forty have been imprisoned and the property of twenty-one others has been confiscated or embargoed. This makes a very imposing estimate, consid- ering that American citizens are supposed to be neutral and that the American government has on several occasions shown her intention of maintaining strictly the neutrality laws as between Spaineand Cuba. It could hardly have been worse if we were in actual war with Spain, if we had recognized the belli- gerency of the Cubans, or if we had sent fili- busters by the regiment to uphold the Cuban cause, instead of arresting them at every turn and sending gunboats and the like to assist Spain herself. Accompanying the documents is a letter from Secretary Fish to Minister Roberts protesting against the right of the Spanish government under the treaty to em- bargo or confiscate the property of American citizens, The Secretary of State makes out a series of violations of the treaty on the part of Spain, which in any other country would have been cause enough for war at once. Certainly they present greater cause for war than anything yet divulged regarding the Ho- henzollern affair now agitating Europe; but the Secretary contents himself with a mild protest. We do not desire any war with Spain, but we desire her not to test our patience Nine killed, forty imprisoned and twenty robbed is a list of casualties that illy repays us for our neutrality, Queen Victorin’s Garden Fete—British Arise tocracy as It Is. By a special correspondence from London, published this morning, we have an animated and entertaining report of Queen Victoria’s recent entertainment féte in the royal garden at Windsor. It was called a state breakfast. With respect to its nomenclature classification, as in some few other of its main features, the affair was really a lucus a non lucendo, for the partaking of refreshment did not commence until five o’clock in the afternoon. Royalism named it a breakfast, however, and it would, we presume, be nothing less than the utmost vulgarism of bungry democratic heresy to deny it. Her Majosty, the Queen of Great Britain, was, however, herself again; her guosts were numerous and distinguished, and the management noble and worthy of the occasion, so that there was a brilliant “time,” despite the prevalence of very unfavorable weather. The people who were invited arrived at Windsor in every imaginable description of “turnout.” Lord Clarendon was on the grounds; his latest appearance out of doors, for he sickened to his death the very same evening. Mr. Motley, United States Minister, attended, and was ob- served in close conversation with the since deceased noble Secretary. Mr. Disraeli “drove down” to the breakfast. The author of ‘‘Lothair” was evidently—both in equipage and personal appearance—the most remark- able personage there. Of a race once ‘‘de- spised,” he evidently tended towards democ- racy, caring little apparently for the ‘vessels of gold, or the vessels of silver, or all that is in my house.” The ex-Chancellor thought perhaps just the same as the Irishman did who was treated, with others, by the Duke of Northumberland to a very poor dinner served up on the magnificent solid gold plate of that nobleman—‘‘Its a very fine dish; but its not the roast beef of England.” The Irishman so expressed himself; Mr. Disraeli, it is probable, said nothing. Our special writer presents a history of the origin of those English aristo- cratic breakfasts with Lady Holland, and the adoption of the custom by the Crown, Queen Victoria had previously a state ball at Buck- ingham Palace. Notices of the distinguished persons who were present and the style of dress fashions which prevailed in the royal circle appear in our coluri-s. The general inference from both accounts must be that aristocracy is becoming more and more out of place daily in Britain. It is galvanized now and then by generous wines, but collapses almost immediately in presence of the onward march of a busy world. Revowvrioy iN Barris Honpuras.—By our mail advices from Belize we learn that a revolution has broken out in British Honduras. Though it has not assumed very alarming pro- portions, it shows sufficient to illustrate the tendencies of the old Spanish settlers in all of these South American republics, Presi- dent Medina is an intelligent man, fully imbued with the spirit of the times, and a believer in the advantages to be derived from the intro- duction of railroads. He also has faith in immigration, and does all he can to encourage it. To all of these the Spanish element is opposed. The Spaniards advocate that old system of exclusiveness which has proved a drawback to every nation in which it is practised. That the present outbreak has sprung from this very feeling there is little doubt, There is no reason, however, to be- lieve that the revolutionists will be successful, Medina is able to cope with his opponents, and will prove his ability to carry out the ideas he entertains for the advancement and prosperity of the country. Berrer Toan Noraine—The reduction under the new Army bill of the expenses of the army to the extent of about four millions a year. We suspect, however, that there will bea deficiency in the War Office of several millions at the end of the year, owing to tho failure of the Quakers to make Quakers of the Indians. Srarys or Kyiaurs or tae Last,—The Superintendent of the Census has notified the United States Marshals that in recording the occupations of people a man must not be called a “shoemaker” or a “bootmaker,” unless ho makes the entire ‘boot or shoe.” This ex- cludes the North Adams celestial cobblers entirely from the census, 08 their work is confined to putting only the soles on boots and shoes. | Timely Words in the Washiagton Pulpit ' Dr. Nowaiait on the Brotherhood of Man, Among the many powerfi! and eloquent pulpit discourses Which are conelgo.” "eported in our columns this nigraiog the one thay 794 delivered by Rev, Dr, Newman yosterday in t¢ Metropolitan Methodist church at Washiagtc.@ city, challenges particular notice, Presideu¢ Grant and family, with Vice President Colfax and some prominent Senators, attended ser- vice and were no doubt deeply impressed by the appropriateness of Dr. Newman's theome— the ‘Brotherhood of Man”—so ably and lucidly treated, and urged with go much feeling, at a moment when the world is shuddering again with “the note of dreadful preparation” for a general war, tobe almost inevitably followed by a sweeping revolution, The learned divine founded his argument first upon the physical unity of the human race, despite the modifications of climate and cia- cumstances, utterly rejecting the manifold the ories of the scentists who depart from BibliqaAl authority to flounder about in the morass scepticism, Hoe then inoulcated with persua- sive force the great obligation of that charity which covereth a multitude of sin, and realizes in its exhaustless fulness the boundless love of the Redeemer, ‘*Manhood,” to use the preacher's own telling language, ‘‘is nota geo- graphical term, meaning one thing on this shore, and another on that, but manhood is ag universal as the sun.” It excludes none, we add, but takes in all, even our weakest and most erring brethren. Who is the insect trembling on the leaf that dares to flout bis humbler brother in the dust? How pitiful the small pride that makes ‘the feeble creature, who so painfully toils through his little hour hero below, turn with scorn from his fellow whom fortune and chance have less caressed f Well, indeed, it would be for the glory and influence of the nationif rulers could daily hear such good words as nobly spoken—the “apples of gold in pictures of silver”—thad true piety and genuine manhood serve forth upon the altar. Well would it also be should their hearts incline to heed such teachings far enough to pity the poor victims of warlike ambilion and hearken to the cry of outraged liberty that rings from the land to land and from the islands of the sea, If we be brethren, indeed, we are our brother's keeper, inasmuch as we owe him help in the hour of need, as we owe him mercy in the hour of his weakness, Special Letters from the Old World. The special correspondence from Europe which appears in our columns to-day may be claimed, and with great truth and jus- tice, to be one of the most elaborate and exhaustive Old World mail reports which has been presented to the American public for a long time. Ouiside the pages of the Hrratp ithas not been equalled on this side of the Atlantic, and never, in one day’s newspaper publication, on the other. Our letters coma from Rome, Spain, France and Russia, the writers connecting the links in that grand chain of wonderful events which in their fruition, at hand just now, will either liberate humanity, in religion and political franchises in Europe or rivet still more closely their fet- ters under monarchs, priests and nobles, Rome remained the grand centre of the relig- ious movement. Pope Pius the Ninth entered the twenty-fifth year of his Pontificate. His Holiness appeared hale and hearty. On Corpus Christi bo read mass in the Sixiine chapel at half-past seven o'clock in the morning, taking part, subse- quently, in the religious procession of the Blessed Sacrament, the grandest display of that sort ever before witnessed in Rome, Spain was about to enjoy a legislative recess— a boon to the people as well as to the mem- bers of the Cortes. The tendency of public affairs in Madrid was not cheering of the fu- tare. M. Prevost Paradol was preparing to set out from France on his mission to Washington, The great diplomatic and imperial executive interests of Russia are passed in review by our special writer in St. Petersburg. They are broad, comprehensive, and give solid assur- ance of hopeful results, Russia looked towards Asia, to the East, and towards the people of the great American republic.
