Let consumers look to their interests, We shall have immense crops this year, and there will be no necessity for famine prices in this country, ~ Mr. Disraztinteriains a very poor opinion of the humanities of the Nineteenth Century as reflected from and represented on the Con- tinent of Europe, where a question of throne succession is about to produce war. Premier Gladstone agrees to a great extent with the author of Lothair in his depreciation of the earthly ‘‘vanities” and belligerent impulses of the hour. Soumyegr is lucky in having his name so far down on the alphabetical roll of the Senate. It was that circumstance probably that saved him from allying himself with a motley party yesterday about the size of Fenton's on the vote confirming Frelinghuysen’s appointment. Finding that only three Senators were voting against the new appointee, he hedged and de- clined to vote at all. Brianam Youne is not so infallible as he used tobe. Tho railroads, the Gentiles and the Cullom bills have so perforated his hior- archical armor that even law suits can reach him now. The United States District Court has just rendered a decision against him for ten thousand dollars ina suit for that amount, with four years’ interest, brought against him by Godbo and otuer dissenters, Traty aNp THE Popz.—The war situation in Europe raises the question about Italy and the Pope. If France wins, France remains the undisputed head of the Latin races. Italy, Spain, Portugal, so long at least as Napoleon lives, must look to France for orders; and Rome will continue to be the property of the Pope. If Prussia wins, Italy will rise asa unit and make Rome once more its capital city, In the latter case what is to become of the Pope? Will he go to Malta or come to Fort Washington? The generous English people have offered him Malta. We have offered him Fort Washington. The govorn- ment house at Malia would not be a bad exchiange for the Vatican, nor would St. John’s Cathedral be abad substitute for St. Peter's. It is our opinion that Fort Washington and our magnificent new St. Patrick’s Cathedral would be more to his taste than anything that Malta offers. But he can make his choice, Spars anp Taz Crisis.—Spain has at last been successful in giving Europe a sen- sation. What will Spain do now that war has been declared? If France licks Prussia, Spain will have to bow the knee to France. If Prussia licks France, Spain will have her liberty. France having gone to war because a Hobenzollern was a candidate for the Spanish throne, France cannot have the bardihood to go in for a Bonaparte. If France wins, the Prince of the Asturias will be pro- claimed King of Spain. Spain has been in- strumental in giving Europe the prospect of awar; but itis hard to see how spain is to gain by the result, It is not impossible that Prim may now proclaim the Prince of the As- turias king, the Emperor Napoleon granting Prim afl thé désislance ho May require. This will not settle the Spanish throne difficulty. It will not certainly secure for Spain litt ! peace or prosperity, In the or im- pending conflict Spain as a war force Is of no @ccount 7 ss shiammmmmieinias te Aa Ch a: Tue War Between France and Prussia— A Stupendous Struggle. The news of a declaration of war between France and Prussia, which reached us by cable telegram yesterday, was not unexpected. For some weeks past it was evident that France desired to throw down the gage of war, and that Prussia was not unwilling to take it up. At two o'clock yesterday Napoleon communi- cated to the Corps Législatif that war with Prussia was proclaimed in consequence of insults offered to the French Ambassador at Berlin, Count Benedetti, by the Sovereign and Court of Prassia, We may accept this inci- dent, therefore, as the immediate casus delli, although we know very well that « varioty of irritating causes have existed ‘since Prim offered the Spanish throne to s member of the Prussian royal family, thereby provoking tho indignation of France, leading to hasty and defiant words on the part of the French Minis- ter.of Foreign Affaire, which were met by the King of Prussia at first with dignity, and afterwards with some natural display of irrita- tion, which resulted im the dismissal of the French Ambassador. These are the ante-war incidents of some days past. That the peoples of both France and Germany are eager for this war there can be no doubt, The utmost enthusiasm is said to prevail in the leading cities of France and Prussia. Whether the succeaston to the Spanish crown was the real cause of the difficulty, or only a pretext, matters little now. We are on the threshold of one of the most ter- rible wars Europe has ever witnessed. It may be of short duration; but, taking into account the skill, the numbers, the opportunities of the contending forces, and the deadly appliances which modern science has placed in the hands of each, the result in any event must be fear- ful. It may culminate in a Jena, it is true, or it may be so prolonged as to draw all Europe into the vortex—possibly into a coalition ageinst France. But we cannot expect to see such a coalition as that which brought the allied troops into Paris in 1815. There have been revolutions among nations, and changes of boundaries since then. Should the war last for any time there are a great many probabilities which may /be realized. Incidents unforeseen may spring up at every step of the campaign. One of the first actions of Napo- leon, for instance, may be to send a column of French troops into Madrid and place the Prince of the Asturias upon the throne vacated by his mother. The Prince is Napoleon's candidate for the Spanish throne, and he will never permit an Orleans nor a Hohenzollern to sit there. An incident in the campaign also may possibly be the removal of the French garrison from Rome, and among the other incidentals following upon this may be a movement on the part of Garibaldi and the “reds” scattered all over Italy and France, an element more powerful, perhaps, than is supposed, and which might show itself with grinning teeth during the confusion of general war in the dominions of the Pope, Austria, it is said, declares herself neutral so long as no third Power interferes, This is @ thin thread whereby to hold on to neutrality, Denmark hasa grievance. Denmark, too, lies some- what in the ljne of naval operations in the Baltic. Her ports may be needed for coaling or repairing stations, Who can guarantee her neutrality? Who can say that she will not make the third Power, insignificant as she ‘seoms, and thus give Austria a loophole to glide into an alliance with France, Amore important question is, what will Rus- sia do? She is allied to Prussia by family ties, and her sympathy would naturally tend in that direction, But the opportunity opens at this juncture, in the midst of the turmoil in Central Europe, for Russia to carry out her long projected plans on the Oltoman Empire. The Czar has only to whisper a word to the Khedive, and a new empire would be estab- lished in Constantinople, the Turkish dominion in Europe would be destroyed forever, and the dreams of the Romanoffs—dwelt upon since the Great Peter's time—might be rea- lized at last. England, of course, unless forced into an alliance, must stand aside, She has too many thorns tormenting her at home to go into the foreign war business, Besides, the army she could bring into the field (about two hundred thousand men) would be but a pigmy in this battle of the giants. However, ifthe rumor be true that she will protect the neutrality of Belgium, her navy might do ter- rible service at Antwerp, In looking for the cause of this conflict, 80 suddenly sprung up, we must go deeper than the question of the Spanish crown, It may be a matter of mutual necessity on the part of both sovereigns, The crops in France are very short, Bread riots in Paris are dangerous affairs, A hungry and discontented people must be diverted in some way from brooding over home grievances. A war is Just the thing for the emergency, Napoleon is shrewd enough to see this, and it may be presented to his sagacious mind just now, the question between & Wat and 9 dy- nasty, There are troublesome clements at work in Prussia too, The popular parties who a8 Glaponsd to gat down the army sup- plies and reduce the & gaining ground.

Congrese=The Closing Scence—Review of the Work of the Session. The Forty-first Congress, which bas through- out its two sessions led a life of blundering, closed its career yesterday in a series of blun- ders befitting its whole course, It was to have adjourned at twelve o'clock, but it extended the session until two and then again until five, when it succeeded in dissolving its too solid flesh. Its members are now on the way home to present the record of their doings to their constituents, and upon that record seck a re- election. The chief business concocted yes- terday was a compromise between the two Houses on the Indian question, the lower House consenting to the six million dollars appropriation, provided the Senate will not take its acquiescence as an affirmation of the justice or expediency of Indian treaties. The most of the time, however, was consumed in discussing the President’s message regarding the war in Europe and the increase of our mercantile marine ; and, to cap the climax of blunders, both Houses adjourned without legis- lating on the subject. A review of the session shows very few broad measures completed. The bill to en- force the Fifteenth amendment is the only one of enough interest in it to call for any popular demonstrations, and it was almost exclusively in the interest of a class. The Naturalization bill, excellent in its provisions when first pre- sented, was shorn of its strength by modifying amendments, and as a law is almost useless. The Georgia bill has finally been passed, but no credit can be due to Congress for passing it se long after it should have been passed. The bill reducing taxation serves that specific pur- pose very well so far as tho quantity of taxa- tion reduced is concerned; but as the income tax, although ina modified form, is retained, it is not very choice as to the quality of taxes reduced. The Currency bill, a mere measure of contraction, is highly objectionable, while the Funding bill, which should have prepared 8 well defined way for funding the debt, is merely a nullity, The Appropriation bills, being routine legislation, should have been prepared with care; but instead of that, as passed, they are crowded with jobbery; and one of the most important—the Indian Appro- priation bill—has been delayed so long over a mere theoretical difference that it is now the merest makeshift, passed in a hurry to secure an adjournment, We There are other important bills which the Congress has not succeeded in passing. The Pension bill for Mrs, Lincola is one of these, and not the least. Tho rejection of the St. Domingo treaty, the saubbing of Denmark in regard to St. Thomas, are serious blunders, while the imprisonment of Pat Woods and the cadetship investigations are matters which would be serious if they were not ridiculous, Altogether, the Forty-first Congress-has stum- bled_and blundered blindly through its two sessions to an adjournment sine die, and we hope the coming elections will so far change the personnel of the Forty-second Congress as to greatly improve the character of the pro- ceedings. . The European War in Wall Street, The union established between the money centres of the world by¢the agency of the elec- tric telegraph has brought them in such close relations that a disturbance of one is felt by sympathy throughout them all, Hence’'when Europe is agitated by war Wall street is quick to reflect the effect, Our growing tendency to greater independence of such influences -has had a signal illustration, however, in the last few days. The European war of 1866 sent gold dancing up from 125 to 167}.. News just as startling and more important, for the reason that two greater countries are at war, meets with a more obstinate gold premium in these days. Since 1866 the United States have taken position among the leading nations of the world. Our trade and com- merce are on a gigantic scale, The national credit has so wonderfully appreciated that gold is not so sensitive as it was afew yeara ago. As we increase the period since the war we grow strong in geometrical progression. Gold is the measure of our financial relations with other countrigs, It is evident toevery one that with a war abroad, and with the pros- tration of the fndustries of the two greatest nations of Europe, our credit advances by comparison, Hence the slow re- sults which follow the. efforts of the gold gamblers in Wall street to get up a sensation. As compared with ordinary times the Gold Room is just now a busy place; but the most interested must confess that there is a lethargy in gold, and that the advance has been at- tained only by prodigious efforts and by im- mense speculative purchases, Itis contrary to all logic that gold should be dearer and that our national credit should depreciate with the Franco-Prussian war. The present flurry over we shall behold the working of the inevitable laws that govern the questions of finance, MEx100 AND GUATEMALA.—We have latenews from Mexico, but, strange to say, notbing of any importance relative to the difficulty between that country and the neighboring republic of Guatemala. The Mexican government is ex- ceedingly reticent on the subject, and jealously witbholds all information regarding the matter. Porfirio Diaz, who was announced some time since to have beaded a large body of Mexicans to co-operate with the Guatemalans, has | iavtied 9 fnavifesto, Matters begin to look serl- ous in this questa, and, with the numerous other troubles perplexing exlsd ap ggtious points, it is difficult to imagino how she wil come out of this fresh entanglement without suffering severel | 4 tunity to win her freedom. i Will She Play. Has Russia forgotten Sebastopol? Thereby hangs a tale, The Czar Nicholas was hur- ried to the grave by the check he and the policy handed down to him by Peter the Great metin the Crimea. Has not this reflection been the canker-worm gnawing at the heart of the Ozar Alexander? An empire headed by the magical name of Napoleon has arisen in the West to rival if not to overshadow the grandeur of that magnificent empire which “the Prince of Rosch, Moschk and Tobolsk” even in biblical prophecy was predestined to build up inthe East. What Power stood in the way, then, of Russian advance to that city of Constantinople which even the Firat Na- poleon admitted to be the key of the East? Austria, fs the historian’s and the statesman’s answer, Austria was crippled. By whom? First, by France under the present Napoleon, at Magenta and Solferino, and then by Prussia, at Sadowa, compelling her to relinquish Venice. To-day she is shattered by dissensions in Hongary, in Croatia, in Slavonia, Has Russia anything to do with this? Ob! not at all, The Panslavonic fooling, however, is at work, and that contemplates the building up of an empire in the east of Europe, partly at Austria’s expense, which will not be hostile to Russla or an impediment in her way. The re- cent Austrian elections, take them as you will, prove this, Has Austria anything to fear from Prussia ? Why, she is allied with her in blood, and Prus- sia faces and marches southward and west- ward, while Russia faces and moves southeast- ward. They act in parallel, not in rectangular lines. What adversary, then, still stands, as in the Crimea it stood, antagonistic to the Russian advance upon the Golden Horn and the Holy Sepulchre? Franco! France at Suez, France in Syria, France on the Red Sea! Let Prus- sia be defeated and the French enter Berlin. French armies will then menace the Russian frontier, and French fleets ride in the Great aud Little Belts and on the Baltic Sea. Rus- sian finance is not flourishing, but the Russian navy is stromg and well organized, Russia’s fortresses are splendidly equipped and armed, and her army, even in Europe, is gigantic, while her people and soldiery are alike fanati- cal, The recent emancipation of the serfs has also greatly inspired them. Her successes in the East; her recent victories in Turkistan and her warm alliance with the Shah of Persia have revivified the old ideas of Peter. The period for the settlement of the prediction ‘Europe in fifty years republican or Cos- sack,” may not yet have come, but the ques- tion of supremacy in the Black Sea, at the Dardanelles and at Jerusalem, is right upon us. The position of Russia, thorefore, in case of threatening French success, laying all sympa- thies aside, must, perforce, be with the Power that stands betweon her and danger on the West, and that strengthens and helps her against her sole great rival in administering upon the affairs of the Sultan and in estab- lishing an independent and friendly ally in Egypt, on the East. Meanwhile, Russia will act upon her.own line of orbit, ‘‘by her inevitable momentum,” as Nesselrode once termed it, and she will lose no time. The President’s Message on the War. The declaration of war by the French gov- ernment reached Washington on the very last day of the session of Congress and within a few hours of its expected adjournment. President Grant therefore lost no time in send- ing a message to the Senate and House of Representatives, suggesting the propricty of further postponing. the adjournment, not only on account of the urgent necessity for passing the Indian Appropriation bill, in order to vent hostilities otherwise inevitable, Gnsties with their train of consequences in suffering, loss of life and expenditures—vast in compari- son with the amount asked—but also especially on account of the latest intelligence of the existence of war between France and Germany. In view of this war he sug- gested legislation tending to enlarge our com- mercial marine, now altogetfier inadequate to meet the increase which a war in Europe will impose upon American commerce, to advance the interests of our citizens by enabling them to purchase vessels of foreign construc- tion for the foreign trade of this country, and, finally, to secure the interference of Congress in behalf of our postal intercourse with foreign nations, this intercourse being now mainly carried on by North German steamers, If these steamers should be blockaded or im- peded by France our postal intercourse with Europe would be greatly embarrassed, The wisdom and patriotic spirit of the Pre- sident’s suggestions as to some of the great material interests which will be directly and powerfully affected in the United States by a war in Europe are patent; but the two houses, probably because of the press of time, or more likely through blundering lack of states- manship, let the opportunity go by without | acting upon such a bill, except so far as windy discussion may be called action, and have thus left our mail facilities with Europe at the mercy of any.enterprising French cruiser that may choose to attack North German steamers, and has besides rejected the best opportunity we may ever have of ad- vancing our mercantile marine to its old standard without the inconveniences of sub- sidies, Cusa—A Fark OPENING FoR INDEPEN- DENoE.—Captain General De Rodas has just returned to Havana, and the campaign against the Cubans may fairly be considered as at an end, for the present, at least. Looking at the late campaign from an unprejudiced stand- point we cannot help coming to the conclusion that while the Spaniards have accomplished little with well equipped and well disciplined soldiers, the Cubans, lacking these, have been able not only to hold their own, but to gaina little, Lately the Cubans in the Eastern Department have been active. So much so, in fact, that more troops have been asked for by the Spanish generals. Where the reinforce- ments asked for are to come from it is difficult tosay. It is out of the question to think that in the present state of affairs in Europe Spain can forward them. Now is the time for ‘the Cubans to bit hard and hit often, They have a canis? which they should not ra Spain's aificultics at home may 777° Cuba's oppor- ——— General Failure of the European Crops. The year 1870 will long be remembered in Europe, not only for its intense heats but for the prolonged and widespread drought that now gravely threatens nearly two-thirds of the cereal and other harvests, By our latest advices we perceive that the situation in this respect has become actually alarming. In ‘Tho second day's many departments of France not a drop of rain hae fallen for many weeks, and even throughout regions near to the seashore the crops look poor and thin compared with those of former years, Universally hay, straw and clover are lost, and the peasantry are hurrying thelr cattle to the butchers because they no longer have fodder wherewith to feed them, At the late La Villette market, in Paris, four thousand head of beef cattle were offered for sale at almost any price, where two thousand has been the usual figure, Thus there is more meat offered to consumers than ever before; but the question arises, ‘What are the latter to do next winter?” Farmers near the garrisoned towns, who usually enjoy the loan of artillery horses by the govero- ment, have sent them back to the army for lack of the commonest feed for them. Wheat, barley and oats have doubled in price, and the standing growth is wretched. Peas and beans are in the same condition; hemp and flax are gone; the fruit trees of all kinds begin to droop and are full of caterpillars, and the vineyards ofthe Southern districts are seriously attacked by the worm known as the phyllozera vastatriz, Even Algeria has suf- fered from both drought and lecust, and can count upon only a medium crop of grain to aid France, Spain and Italy are similarly tried, and the only really fine crop of staple that the latter will ba able to boast of will be silk, Bohemia, Hungary and the Danubian Principalities will come to the rescue, to some extent, but the deficit in Germany will probably absorb all their superabundance, The most singular feature of this “‘beggarly account of empty boxes” is that in some of the finest grain provinces of the Russian empire the crops are short for another reason than heat and dronght. Untimely cold and moisture have crippled them. Sweden will do no more than sustain itself, and it is doubtful whether Belgium and Holland will do so much. The East seems to be similarly threatened. Early in the season we noticed the distressing lack of rain and running water in Syria and parts of Turkey, and both those countries look to importation for help. Prices in France have gone up largely and are rising every hour, and the reserve which the government always makes there, for a year or two in advance, is likely to be more than taken out of its hands. At all the leading markets grain has reached the rate of thirty francs per metrical quintal. In some places it has risen even to thirty-five, which is from five-to ten france above the prices of last win- ter. What, we may ask, will it be three months hence, particularly should an insane war open the floodgates of devastation and waste? It is now that the United States step into the foreground as the granary of the nations. It is to this ‘“rpitful land of Canaan” that all must look. Here are the golden fields and the laden orchards all the way from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, and from ocean to ocean. Here are the cattle on a thousand hills along with the rich grass, the luscious fruit and the bursting ear. Out of the midgt of war and desolation this much favored land has been raised up to offer the Old World, in the hour of its dearth and its warlike madness, healing and arefuge. To-day the Republic stands before mankind the image of Liberty, holding the olive branch of peace in one hand and tne horn of pleaty in the other. SAM SCHOCH IN CONTEMPT. He Refuses to Obey the Summeus of Coroner Burne—A Warrant for His Arrest—Jcrscy Ballroads Versus Jersey Law. In spite of the insolence offered to Coroner Burns, of Jersoy Oity, by Samuel Schoch, superintendent of the Morris and Essex Railroad, the Coroner 1s de- termined to have the law vindicated. The inquest on Regan, the unfortunate man who was run over and afterwards allowed to bleed to death, was commenced last evening at the Court House in Jersey City. Among the witnesses subpcenaed were Samuel Schoch and John Morford, of the Morris and Essex Railroad. They endeavored to shirk tho ser- vice of the sammons yesterday, and Constable John- son was informed at headquarters that they were “up the road.” He- concealed himself afterwards and soon’ saw his men, on whom he bestowed the legal docu- ments. They did not put in an appearance, how- ever, at the Inquest, and Vordner Burns issued war- rants for their arrest, and charged constable John- son with the execution of the warrants, Sam and John will in ail probability find themselves. in the county jail without any immediate Duthil of relief this evening for their contem the Coroner's authority, ‘This is the lirst instance in which ratiroad oMetals in Jersey attempted to set themselves above the law, and Coroner burns is determined to teach a lesson which will be instructive to all who might hereaiter feel inclined to follow the example. RESIGNATION OF SUPERINTENDENT JOUADAY, He Will Send in His Resignation To-dnay— His Rensons for Retiring. There is much excitement in the police force in consequence of the rumor that Superintendent Jourdan, that clever but too thin-skinned officer, contemplates sending in his resignation. 1t is re- ported that he will to-day, atthe meeting of tho Police Commissioners, resign his trust and give his reasons therefor at length. It is expected that he ‘will state that, Inasmuch as hefailed to receive the sympathy and eupport of his subordinates, many of whom have endeavored in various ways to render more onerous the ardcous duties of his office, since his co Sage as Superintendent, he cannot Songer remain in chief command. He will also complain of @ general apathy and lack of discipline ‘hich he has been endeavoring to remedy, but with- out effect, owing to the envy and jealousy of some of the police captains, who have bit- terly opposed him since his promotion to the office of Superintendent of Police, Another 1eason for the tion is that he is not consulted by the Board in the selection of captains and sergeants, and offi- cers are promoted to these positions Who are unfl.ted for them, and he (the Superintendent) is held re- sponsible for their inemciency, A SERIES OF SAD FATALITIES, Drowned in the Passaic=Frightfal Accident to a Factory Girl—A Mystery.
