As the new bonds bear a considerably smaller interest than those whose places they are intended to take, here isa great, obvious gain. Power is given to the Secretary of the Treasury to declare his readi- ness to pay all bonds that have become re- deemable, and in three months after he shall have made such declaration in regard to any specified bonds the payment of interest on such bonds will cease. Thus he has it in his power to forcibly retire any quantity of the old bonds, being limited in this regard only by his ability to sell the new ones. This power seems to us to put his ability to sell beyond all question, for it is not possible to doubt that the faith of the government is now good before the country and the world for a larger sum than the whole national debt, even at Further and Final Developments of the Orange Riot—Snspected Muraer ofa Female at | UF per cent, and two hundred million Tarrytowu—Academy Commencement in | of the new bonds bear five per cent, and three aoPropceaings in the New York Courts—News from hundred million four and a half.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE Court oF Srsstons,— To-day closes the summer term of the Court of General Sessions, which will be a great relief to Recorder Hackett, who has been sitting almost incessantly since the departure of City Judge Bedford for Europe. The criminal calendar, we learn, has been entirely exhausted, and every person who desired a trial has been accommodated. Yesterday fourteen cases were gone through with, and since Wednesday of last week, seven working days, over one hundred cases have been tried. Who will begrudge the Recorder a little recreation? Inratummity.—A cable despatch informs ‘as that the Council has voted on the question of infallibility. Tho result was four hundred and fifty yeas to eighty-eight nays. The ques- tion is now settled. The Pope is infallible. On Sunday the grand fact will be proclaimed in in circumstance of great pomp and solemnity. Of all the extraordinary things in this extraordinary age. this infallibility affair is certainly the most extraordinary. It is a most instructive fact, however, that the world is absolutely indifferent to this great ecclesias- tical event.

This would appear to be the plain avowal of England that she will not agree to our claims. She discovered at the time Senator Sumner made his Alabama claims speech in the Senate more than a year ago that we could not accept hers. Now, what remains to be done? We can afford to wait much better than England. ‘The War Question in Europe. At the moment we write the war question, as between Grance and Prussia, is still un- settled, Prince Leopold, it appears, is no longer s candidate for the Spanish throne. But France is not satisfied because the Prus- sian government has not clothed itself with dust and ashes and humbly sued for forgive- ness. We have said again and again that France has in this matter proved herself altogether too sensitive. The only cause of offence was the apparently unexpected candi- dature of Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, From the commencement this affuir has been the affair of private individuals. Prim hag confessed that in offering the crown to Prince Leopold he acted on his own responsibility. We have no evidence that Prince L2opold, in accepting the crown, acted either with or without the consent of the Prussian govern- ment. As the Prince’s name is now with- drawn France clearly ought to be satisfied. Prussia has committed no offence, and France is simply intolerably arrogant in asking Prus- sia to bind herself for the future in the matter of the Spanish throne. If it be true—which we donbt—that the Prussian government, has given the Freach Minister his passports war must result. In the absence of good evidence we must cling to the opinion that for the present the trouble is over. We dare not say, however, that the temper of the two peoples justifies us in concluding that a pitched battle must not soon be fought. Pru is still calm. -France is still feverous. If France wants to fight Prassia will not play the coward. Our faith in the good sense of .Napoleon bids us hope for continued peace. A change of Ministry in France may help the Emperor out of his difficulty, The Duke do Grammont ought to be cashiered at once. The Californian Republicans and the Chi- nese. The Republican State Central Committee of California have adopted a resolution that the bill of Representative Cake, of Pennsylvania (republican), in Congress against the importa- tion of Chinese labor embodies the sentiments of the republican party of California. For the last two years the California democrats, in their unqualified opposition to the Chinese, against the republican policy of toleration, havo carried the State in every election, The republicans, finding this a losing game, have adopted the anti-Chinese bill of Mr. Cake as heir platform, The Chinese in California, however, sixty thousand or more in number, are a visible and palpable element of antago- nism to the white population. ‘It appears, too, that these Aslatics in California, and espe- cially in San Francisco, are composed to a very great extent of the basest native mate- rials of Canton, Shanghae and other Cainese seaports and commercial cities, and that, compared with these base Chinese, the vilest dregs that come into New York from the vilest holes of Europ? are refined and attractive people. The Califoraian Chines», moreover, are objectionable as mere interlopers, who come to make money to spend in China; and so peculiar is their attachment to the ‘‘sacred soil” of the ‘Central Fiowery Kingdom” that the bones of the poorest of them dying in Califor- nia are sent home to be buried for their souls’ salvation. But all this does not settle this Chinese labor question, and, whatever our political parties may do with it, they will not settle it, It will be settled under the laws of demand and supply, and the experiment o, this Chinese labor in the United States has far only established the facis that this labor is reliable, and that (excepting Culifornia) the demand for it is greater than the supply. The Gold Excitement in Wall Street. The war news from Europe is a fruitful source of profit to the gold brokers, whose business had been almost done for a fow weeks ‘ago under the steady reduction of the national debt and the generally peaceful situation of the political world. Now, however, that the ears of the Wall street brokers are listening for the clash of arms in Europo, there is im- menge activity in the Gold Exchangt’. Tho transactions there for two or three days past have averaged a hundred millions # day. For the honor.of one portion of Wall street let it be said that there is a widespread national feeling among its leading bankers and broki rsa which makes them coustitutional ‘‘bears” on gold. The “bears” have been the winners ever since the war closed, and they have not yet lost their faith that, come what wiil in Europe, gold, with peace in this couniry, must gotopar. Henco every sharp advance in the precious motal arouses their hostility and brings out sales, while the mass of dealers, assured that war in Europe, whatever its first effect on gold, will eveatually bring us to specie payments, take good care to sell out at a litle advance and make sure of even small profits, Hence the feature which the guld market has shown during this excitement of constant vibration between 112 and 116 as about the extremes of the price under the present agitation. Curiously enough the other markets have shown little activity. Except in the stock market, where there was a deciine last evening, transactions have been compara- tively light, as if the speculative feeling with reference to the European news had deter- mined to express itself through the medium of gold only. TE SO ee Ex-SENATOR FRELINGHYUSEN To SvooHED Musistze MoTLey.—The President has finally made this appointment, a8 rumor had it he would some days ago, Mr. Frelinghuysen is a man well calculated to do the duties of the position in a manner becoming to the dignity and honor of the government, He is an expe- rienced statesman and an accomplished schoiur, and, better than all, he has a broad American view of the questions pending between this country and England. Mr. Sumner’s unseemly attack on the President for making the appoint- ment is as reprehensible as Fenton's action regarding the Custom House appointments, for it was engenilered by the same feeling of per- sonal spite that cannot see beyond ite own litde malice, the Ragged Eads of Legislation. ‘This is the last day of the session, and within a few hours Senators and Representatives will be on their way home to answer to their con- stituents as well as they can for their adminis- tration of the trusts placed in their hands. As ‘usual the day and night preceding adjourn- ment were both devoted to hurried business. In the Senate the bill providing for a pension of $3,000 a year for Mrs. Lincoln was tinally passed by a vote of 28 to 30, Whether it will be in time to pass in the House is doubtful, but its passage at this late hour after so many adverse votes during the leisurely days of the Senate looks as if the intention was merely to Congress Tying got rid of it as a bore, the lateness of the ses- sion being depended upon to defeat it. The Army Appropriation bill, which contains some of the features of the Army bill proper, was discussed, the conference report upon it being presented by Mr. Wilson and finally adopted. The conference report on the Georgia bill was also accepted. In the House business was transacted with a lightning-like rapidity that offered the most tempting opportunities for slipping through land jobs, Bat for a wonder—and a most extraordinary one at that—the House was mre fully determined to frustrate anything of the sort than it ever was before. Nota single land grant or private claim or any bill in which there was an inkling of a job could receive any consideration whatever. They wero all objected to as soon as the titles were read, and one objection nailed them forever to the Speaker's table. The conference report on the Indian Appropriation bill was rejected, and thus the bill, a necessary one, was virtually killed. Mr. Dawes immediately introduced a new one, which, under the inducement that mem- bers must pass it or be convened in extra session, was passed without useless delay. It puts five million dollars in the hands of the President with which to maintain peace among the tribes. 4t is a far beiter way than by swindling treaties, for soldiers like Grant will inspire these savages with a more enduring love of peace than can ever be inoculated in them by unintelligib!e legislation, Amid great confusion, and sweltering .with the intense heat, the session of the House was continued far into the night, the conference reports on all the Appropriation bills being adopted except the one on the Indian bill. At midnight the conference report on the Georgia bill was con- curred in, the terms being a modification of the original House bill, and then the House ad- journed until this morning. _ France and the United States. The New French Minister, M. Prévost- Paradol, who arrived ‘in this city by the steamer Lafayette on Wednesday last, departed by the nine P, M. train of the same day for Washington. This looks like business. We presume that this new Minister has his instructions shaped to meet the con- tingeacy of a European war, and that he will seek at once to establish a friendly understand- ing of neutrality between France and the United States, whatever the proportions which @ war in Europe may assume, and whatsoever may be the European complications in this threatened European convilsion, We sup- pose, too, that there will be no serious diffi- culty in effecting such an understanding with our government. The occasion, however, presents a fine opportunity to General Grant to submit the Monroe doctrine to France and Spain as the West India policy henceforth of the United States, not in the simple ultimatum of European non-intervention in American affairs, but intervefition in Cuba or Mexico, for instance, on the part of the United States, on the same grounds upon which France undertook the experiment of her late imperial protectorate over the republic of Mexico, the broad grounds of humanity, civilization, com- merce and the general interests of the civilized world. Woe think this hint might now be given to France with perfect confidence in its acceptance; for surely Napoleon could inter- pose no objection to our adoption in Cuba or elsewhere of his example of humanity and law and order in Mexico, Moreover, if the nomination of a German prince for the throne of Spain is held as a sufficient cause for war on the part of France against Prussia, have we not awetter justification for intervention in Cuba, in the fact that Spain has no business in that isiand, being there against the wishes and the interests of the people, and beinz arrayed against them in a barbarous war of extermination? At all events, the Monroe doctrine, in its broadest application, should be the basis of peace between us and France and all the other belligerents ina European contest; and in the event of war we should give them to understand that our application of ‘belligerent ri;hts” will be shaped first and last in view of the honor, dignity and interests of the United Siates, ParapeLPita Firemen’s Fiauts.—They of the Ci'y ot Brotherly Love have just had the old-fashioaed entertainment of another bloody figit in the streets between two companies of bellicose firemen, Thank our stars, we of New York, with our paid and regularly ap- * pointed and disciplined fire department, have been relieved of this old time feudal age nui- sance of firgmen’s fights, Puiladelphia is behind the present ago with her feudal sys- tem; but let her adopt our orderly and efficient system and she too will be thankful over a happy deliverance. She will find the change in every respect of law, order, efficiency and economy something to be particularly proud of. Let her try it. With us it is the greatest reform of all our legal reforms of the last twenty years, and we are very vroud of it.

The HzeRap long ago inslated on the advan- tages of public baths, free to the people. It demonstrated how useless it is for the Board of Health to prescribe sanitary regulations for the prevention of disease if our large working population be not supplied with the most essen- tial of all moans for the preservation of health—opportunities of cleanliness. Medical science proves that a healthy condition of the human body largely depends upon ‘a clean skin. The regular bather soon finds that no medicine is more efficacious than the water used in ablutions, that no stimulant is better than the glow of friction with a ooarse towel, and that the frequent exposure of the whole person to the air and the light is in itself directly and powerfully beneficial. Bathing is @ truer panacea than any or all of the drugs evér invented. Moreover, during hot summer weather it is a positive luxury. { It is strange that New York city should have numbered a million inhabitants before it inau- gurated free baths as an indispensable means of promoting public health and enjoyment. The utility and popularity of public baths in Paris, London and other European capitals led Boston, Philadelphia and Albany to establish them some time before our persistent recom- mendations awakened a general demand for their establishment here and led to a legislative -act, which was passed July 22, 1868, ‘‘to provide floating baths in the city of New York.” Even after the passage of this act, and after the City Council had apportioned fifty thousand dollars for the pur- pose, a year elapsed and there were still no baths. A Herap reporter was sent to dis- cover the causes of this unaccountable delay, and his account of bis tracing those causes from the office of the Street Commissioners, under whose direction the work was ordered to be done, to the office of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, and, finally, to the Mayor's office, was quite amusing. It has historical value as a description of ‘‘how not to do it” under the ancien régime. At length, in May, 1870, one of the earliest fruits of the new régime, of the reformation of our city and county government, was the energetic action of the Commissioners of Public Works in con- tracting for the speedy building of two free swimming baths, the one at the foot of Fifth street, on thé East river, the other at tho foot of Thirteenth street, on the North river. These baths were duly opened on June 30, and during the present heated term their daily in- creasing popularity has shown that the necos- sity will soon be felt of building several more for the accommodation of the two hundred and seventy thousand persons who compose the public bataing population of our city. The building of these two bathhouses was but an experiment, and the experiment has been so eminently successful that we may hope to see ere long more than fifty bathhouses afloat on each river front, between Fifty-ninth street and the Battery. We have already asked why conld not the Department of Public Works, in conjunction with a series of stone wharves and piers, provide a stone reservoir, with influent and affluent gates, with a constant stream of changing water, and make every- thing as solid and enduring as the baths of old Rome. Another suggestion we may add, that the bathhouse rules in respect to bathing hours should be so amended as to afford men, women and boys a chance of taking an early bath before going to work in the morning and alate bath after returning from work in the evening. The convenience of the working classes, for whom the free baths are specially intended, should be consulted in this respect, Cool mornings and evenings would suit bathera of this class much better than their brief din- ner hour at hot noon.
