We have no official information on the subject, but “they say” thal he counts upon the redemption of the State through the skilful management and distribution of the Custom House spoils by Murphy. Does this mean that all the Fenton men are to be swept out and that the conservative Andy Joboson, Morgan and Conkling mon are henceforward to rule the roast? No, As we are informed, on general principles, the Mor- gan conservative faction and the Fenton radical faction are to be considered by Murphy as defunct in his dispensation of the spoils, There are to be no more clashings between the Twenty-second street and ‘Twenty-third street cliques, because neither the one concern nor the other is to be recognized as a legitimate element in the scramble for the plunder, The wrath of the administration against Fenton ends with the application of the bowstring to Fenton. His followers are to have the benefit of a general amnesty, There are only to be no more Fenton men, no more Morgan mon, no more Tharlow Weed and Andy Johnson men, and no more impracticable, crochety Greeley men, ‘This has the look of a skilful plan of operations; but theory is one thing and practice is another, Is Murphy the man to carry out this beaatiful idea of a fusion of all the republican factions on General Grant as tho inevitable candidate of the party for the succossiun?

As an Irishman his sym- pathies are perbaps for Trance, as against England in being against Prussia, But among our foreign born citizens the strength of the republicans is with the Germans, while ove Irish Americans democrats almost en masse, and all for France. Of course General Grant will be conscieniionsly neutral in this war, as in duly bound; but Marphy mast look out or he way put bis foot in it, The Germans Kast and West are actively moving in thelr mass meetings in bebalf of Fatherland, and Carl Schurz, at the meeting in this city the other night, was s0 ca as to forget that he is a United States Senator and one of the Seaate commitiee in charge of our foreign affairs. onr German born fellow citizens. ‘Those of Irish nativiiy will no doubt soon present a front as onited on the other side, Hence Mr, Morphy on this question will be required to act with great discretion, and the republican party, too, or they may get the administra- tion eniangled premalarely.

The vital question, after all, with us, in connection with the European war, is what is to become of our commerce on the seas while Europe is engaged in o deadly struggle on the Continent. It is evident that the carry- Ing trado on the ocean must be done by some neutral Power, What Power, with any ca- pacity—even a suppositious capacity—to un- dertake this thing will remain neutral, except ourselves and Great Britain? Ip the cane of England it is just possible that she may be compelled to abandon her neutrality and re- linguish her opportunity to make a vast profit ont of the carrying trade and the misfortune of her neighbors, as she did in a snouking fasbion during our war, She will, of course, as usual, have to be kicked and cuffed into taking a position on either side before she gives up tbe splendid chance of absorbing the carrying trade. But she may, as she has often done before, take the kicking fur the sake of the profit. Unfortunately for us, and to the eternal shame of the late corrupt and contemptible Congreas and its predecessors during the war, England has no rival. This country has but a few paltry ships to send ont ander the American flag, and not a solitary steamship where we ought to have a matchleas merchant navy, The splendid iron steam vessels of the North German lines, which might be able to carry our flag at the peak if Congress had not shirked its duty, are lying locked up fn foreign ports or in our own because we deny them the protection of our flag. We have thousands of bushels of breadstuffe, millions of bushols of corn and oats--Inva- luable in the camps of the contending armies— ready to transport to Europe, We have arms and ammunition of tho newest contrivance and a thousand things which will be sorely needed in Europe as the war progresses, to say nothing of the transportation of necessaries from one country to another, which only can be carried under a neutral fag. But our merchant marine is reduced by stopid Congres- sional legislation to a mere fragment of its original strength. Therefore we cannot take the goldea opportunity offered at this moment. We must let the mastery of the esas, in a coin- mercial sense, pass again lato the hands of England, and we may be assured that she will deem no sacrifice too great to retain that com- mercial supremacy by which alone she lives. President Grant was wise enongh to com- prehend this question, uad he was patriotic enough to urge upon Congress the necessity of so amending the laws as to give some protec- tion and some stimulant to American com- merce, One would suppose that such an earnest appeal, even in the fast hours of Congress, would have touched some chord of patriotism in a body of men who bave heen prating about that virtue all the timo that jobs were on hand. But the President spoke to stones, What cared they for Americao corm- merce or anything clse, except tbe little par tisan and personal games they bad to play? How mach they can mate?--can they get re-elected for another term to have another heal at the spoils? Theso are the questions which mako the sum of “patriotism” with these follows. We think, under all the cironmatances, that the country has a right to ask President Grant to call Congress together again and take this matter into consideration, They may not assemble; bat, by issuing the call, the Presi- deut wiil have perfected the duty le so uobly begau. ‘The Nermat Cellege of the City ef New York, The Board of Education, at its Inst meet- ing, accepted the plot of groand between Sixty-eighth and Sixty-ninth rects. and Lexington and Fourth avenues a site for the new Normal College and Training School for Female Teachers. The site is well chosen, inasmuch aa it is far enough op town to escape the rapidly rising tide of business by which college bnildings at this end of the isisnd have been overwhelmed. As the new edifice will cover av entire bluck the indispen- sable advantages of light, ventilation aud quiet can be fully secured. Jt is to he con- strneted according to the plans of Mr. ‘Totten, a young New York architect, to whom a prize of twelve hundred dollars was awarded for the best plans presented, Three stories in height, with conveniently arranged clase rooms, a chapel or hall (hat can accommodate twenty-three hundred persons, and with a talt Gothic tower in the centre of the long front on Fourth avenue, it promises to be a conspicuous additlon to tho architectural oranments which are rapidly beautifying the upper part of our metropolis, ‘Tbe cost is estimated at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars; and although it is wiser and really more profitable to invest educational finds in books, philoso- phical apparatus and liberal endowments for professorships than in brick and mortar, granite or marble, which have swamped the treasuries of so many American colleges, yet New York is rich enongh to build palaces for education as well as for trade. The Leasous ef Our War as Examples for Kurepe. They ave not without readiness in the appli- cation of ‘‘Yankee Notions” on the other side, as the war already exhibits, even in these its limping hours. Our Yankee notion of iron- clad battles Is likely to be the grandest new feature for Enrope in this contest; for, though no Prussian fleet will meet a fleet of Mrauce, we shall doubtless hear of the French iron- clads, especially, perhapa, (he great Dunder- berg, built in this city, steaming up to the Prussian land batteries and pounding them to fine dust. How terribly this one arm may make the Power that is without it feel its in- ferlority! Already we have heard of the use to be made of the gunboats on the hint of the instance at Pittsburg Landing, where but for these Shiloh might have been shorter. The French army haw been learning for more than five years in our system of field lines, and now we hear of the Prussians obstructing the rivers with bulks—a practice of course much older than our war, but ona that was better exemplified by us than ever before, éxcepting only at Sebastopol. Another American idea that might well be added to this is that of patting torpedoes down with the hulks or elsewhere. ‘They do not often explode at tho right time, but when they do it is bad for the { gaabouk SHEET. Tho Excessive Hent. Sixty peraons died in one day in this city from the effects of the heat—a fact which indicates what might come to pass If there should be any permanent considerable eleva- tion of the temperature of the atmosphere ; for these sixty were generally the feebler, the old or the very young, or persons weakened by excesses, .and these, of course, succumb first; but after a few days of such heat as we had on Sunday Inst all persons are numbered among the weak, In fact, our temperature already goes to the verge of human endurance, and in the facts about us we seo that an ap- parently inconsiderable modification would depopulate the whole district in which it ope- tated; and thus we might glimpse at the be- gloning of the end and specniate upon the time when the earth, if it shonld not abso- lutely perish by fire, would at least be- come uninhabitable by reason of the heat, and at least perish as the dwelling place of man, It will be remembered that the past winter was anomalous, it was very mild in all the earlier months, and the Hudson was open to an unuaual period; but late in the season cold weather came on with eome severity and pushed the spring from its place. All this modification ts so much evi- dence of the verity of the remarkable observa- tions recently made of changes in the suns and they tell us very clearly bow intimate {s our dependence upon the stability of existing conditions in that luminary. To the specala- tive view the appearances described in the sun are such as might be occasioned by great, suddenly up-bursting conflagrations of gases or other highly inflammable matters and it seems possible that these fires, If they really are such, oxhaust themselves after a time. Do they not, then, meanwhile exhaust In enormous degree the heat-producing power of the sun, and shall we not pay for ull this by loss of proper heat at another time, by a winter perhaps as excessively cold as the summer is hot? P. 8.—No argument is intended in favor of high coal, The German population have spoken out boldly for Germany in the present war. Steinway Hall has echoed with the voices of some of the most distinguished citizens of ‘Teutonic birth in favor of Prussia, Even a United States Senator—who, being in a man- ner, in his legislative capacity, a judge upon the question of neutrality, people might suppose would have been neutral on the rostruin—took strong sides for Prussia, and almost pledged the country to the German cause. This is to be expected from the Germans. it appears from all the news that there is unity in Fatherland, and why should there not be unity and enthusiasm here? But has France no sympathizers? To be sure she has. ‘The whole Irish-American element is with her. The same feeling which cropa out in a magnificent procession ia Dablin and ends very appropriately, according to written history and tradition, in arow with the police, manifests itself in Now York and is, perhaps, more deeply rooted here. The Irish-Ameri- cans in this city have made no demonstration in favor of France as yet. Perhaps they de- sign, under proper advice and gnidauce, to manifest their interest in the war in a more practical and thoughtful way than bands and banners and public meetings can express. We Tope so. Probably they see that giving a hurrah to Frauce in New York streets or in the Cooper Institute could not do much good for Treland, although it might give ao little éclat-to some small, ambitions leaders. Perbaps the solid, think- ing Irish population, having- learned some- thing by the experience of the past few years, mean to band themselves Into some associa- tion having for its object that result which may come from England's difficulty, thus opeaing up Ireland's opportunity, With onr Irish population the fortanes of France in this war mast be only subservient to the chances fov the redemption of {reland. This with them must of course be the con- trolling thought and the iospiration of any movement they may enter upon. Any trouble which befalls England is a blow struck at the enemy of Ireland. The hope that she will be dragged into this struggle, therefore, makes the Irishman more futeasely the ally of France. concentrate the Irish-American — element throughout the country, wilh a view to watch calmly the course of events in Europo and prepare for any chance which may arise to give a helping band to Ireland. This seems to be a sensible way of sympathizing with France and accomplishing something for Ire- land at the same time. It Is a good deal better plan, at all events, than noisy public demonstrations, loud talk and patriotic froth, War tn Norra Carovina.-~-The “ramors of war” in North Caroliva, veporting two hun- dred citizens arrested by Colonel Kirk without process of law, Jadies insnlied and flying with their cbildrea te Yirginia for proteotion, &e., ainst, we hope, be exaggerated, Those who are familiar with the record of Colonel Kirk ag an glleged bushwhacker in Hast Tennessee under both the federal flag und the Gonfede- rate fing during the Wat ara mystified at his having received a high appointment in the State militix. But it may be preaumed that the admipisiration at Washington bas been kept accurately posted as to the reported ‘‘out- rages” in North Oxrolina, Certainly, if aa- sured that the State militia bad made war upon individuals not implicated in Ku Klux conspiractes and murders, President Grant, in the interest of law and order and peace, would | anickly call Golouel Kirk to account. As the government has not yet interfered it is more than probable that there are two sides to the j telegraphic story of war in North Carolina. A CaNaviaN DoaueRry.—Several American gentlemen while on a pleasure excursion fish- ing in the St, Lawrence rivor recently wore arrested by the Overseer of Fisheries and their boats and fishing tackle confiscated. The Dominion Minister of Murine very properly ordered the return of the confiscated property, the Dominion authorities baving graciously assented that Americans may try their luck at fisbing in the St. Lawrence. These Canadian Dogberrys, like the Overseer of Fisheries, are w scaly set, who think tha whole plecatorial apecios waa created for thelr special yeagit, Wo believe that a movement is on foot to j | eae a Tne Parndo) Case. It appears to us that the Paradol inquest did not satisfactorily go to the bottom of certain of the difficult points in the case. An {naufictent history is given of the night-—of all the time between one A, M. and five A, M.— when the servants were alone in the house with the corpse and made no eign. Is this the natural conduct of such persons in such circumsiances ? Neither, it seems, ever thought of calling for help or that a physician might The man Augusto thought his master was taken with a fit, and immediately tan down stairs for vinegar. Down stairs, ho found blood on his own clothes, and said, “Some one has killed M. Paradol ;” so that he had tho conception, first, of a At; second, of a wound; yet never thought of a doctor. When he went up stairs M, Paradol was dead, yet he lived three-quarters of an hour. During the greater part of that time apparently the dying man was alone and his servants were down stairs looking for vinegar, It is said that as thoy were strangers to the country and language they knew not what to do; but the servants knew the residence of other members of the Legation ; and as to the conntry, there are cer- tain customs that are naturalized the world over, and one of these is for servants to call assiat- ance to the help of an injured master in all cases where they have nothing to conceal. The letters produced are not without a peculiar character. When did M. Paradol write the exclamation, ‘Je me tue?” Its time assumes to be coincident with the act it refers to, but was it written before or after, and how did it come to light? The letter in the possession of M. De Jardin is not above closer scrutiny than has been given it. Superficially, appearances point to suicide, but the conduct of the servants was certainly strange, and somo other points are not loss so. News from the West Indice, Mexico South America.
