She can do nothing unless the war becomes general, In ‘that case she may take pleasure in teaching France that she has the right to choose for king whom sbe will. Perhaps the most im- portant piece of news is that which announces the determination of Napoleon to withdraw his troops'from Rome. It is evidently Napoleon's intention to win over Italy to his side by this movement, Will the evacuation of Rome by the French troops make the Italian people the allies of France? At onetime itwould. Will it now? Time must be allowed to tell, Rome It is an old saying that when ‘rogues fall out honest men'come by their own.” It is not the less true that when . rogues fall out honest men become alive to their danger. This secret treaty affair does certainly suggest the idea of roguery. It places both Bismarck and Napo- leon in a bad light. Thoir falling out hab opened the eyes of the world, but particular.y the eyes of Europe, to the fact that two men did wickedly conspire against the welfare of certain nations, against right and justice and in favor of oppression and wrong. It is now no longer doubtful that the obnoxious propo- sal was formally made by Napoleon to Bis- has been marck. The proposed treaty religiously preserved by Bismarck. It is now to be seen in the War Office at Berlin. Prussia has told us that such was the fact. A correspondent of the Indépendance Belge has seen the original document in the handwriting of the Count Benedetti, lato French Minister to the Court of King William. It is said that Napoleon has repeatedly demanded the docu- ment, which Prussia has porsistently refused to give up. This secret proposal on the part of France to Prussia gives an entirely new | aspect to the war situation, We are not of those who blame Napoleon alone in this matter. Itis not conceivable that Napoleon would, without first sounding Count Bismarck, send any such document to Berlin. As we have said before, the proposed treaty owes its origin to the Biarritz meeting, when the two wiliest statesmen of the day tried to reshape the world and to overreach each =: | other.

Turkey and the far East enter into the growing complications, and it is difi- cult to say where or how the war is to end once it has been begun, Earl Granville stated the European situation to the British House of Lords last night during a scene of intense excitement. He pledged England to neutrality. The most important point of his Lordship’s address was made in his official declaration that ‘no insult was intended to King William” by Benedotti at Ems. The British frigate Warrior is to convey the Princess Royal of England, wife of the Crown Prince of Prussia, home to her mother, in Eng- land. Another Napoleonic paper has been brought to light, in which the Emperor asked Switzerland ‘‘Where does France end and where does Italy begin?” Look at the situation from what point of view we may, we can arrive at no other con- clusion than this, that Europe has been on the eve of no such crisis since the wars of the First Napoleon.

The meteorological phenomena recorded in the logs of both yachts in the late ocean race are very curious and suggestive. The Cambria, for instance, had fifteen days of the twenty-three of the race in which there was more or less rains—heavy rains and gales being the rule. The Dauntless has only seven days marked by rain, but more days of thick, foggy weather than the Cambria. The gen- eral course of the Dauntless was about four hundred miles south of the course of the Cambria. The questions suggested by these facts are, why these prevailing rains on the Atlantic, while the Continents on each side has been subject to a dry, heated term, with- out a precedent for half a century in Europe and North America? And why this excess of rain along the northern course of the Cambria ? Our theory is, first, that from an increase of combustibles drawn into the sun the earth, and especially in its northern hemisphere, is mainly indebted for its extraordinary droughts and heats of this summer. In the second place, the heat of this season having extended further towards the North Pole than usual, an increased quantity of icebergs have been loosened from the shores of Baffin’s Bay, and by the Arctic current, which comes down that bay intothe main ocean, have been brought out into the Atlantic, where they have acted as condensers (like the Alps and other snow covered mountains) of the vapor from the ocean, which otherwise would be discharged upon the thirsty land on both sides, The Dauntless, having sailed a course south of whence Europe spread.” Asia is laid bare py our» writer.

The first decadal census sinca the war is now in course of proceeding, and it is of the utmost importance that it should be taken with more than ordinary care, Extraordi- nary changes in the population and in tho statistics of the country have occurred since 1860, Old industries have gone down and new ones have arisen. Resources altogether new have been developed, and notwithstand- ing the terrible drain of the battle field upon our population the loss will be supplied a hundredfold by the immense immigration of the past few years, as well as by the natural growth from the cradle and the nursery. There appears to be some apprehension, however, that tho census is going to be botched, blundered and even obstructed by the officials charged with this important duty. been converted into a political machine for the employment of idle and, in many cases, in- It is alleged that the whole system has competent partisans. We trust this is not so.

The atmos- phere along the course of the Daunt- less was not the condensing atmosphere of the route of the Cambria. Hence, while the one ship experienced more fog, the other had more rain, Such, briefly, is the best explana- tion we can give of the meteorological phe- nomena of this ocean race in contrast with the drought and terrible heats prevailing at the same time on both sides of the sea, The curi- ous facta thas developed by this ocean race open a new field of inquiry to science touching the annual rain fall of the dry land in connec- errors and delays, The system we require is that very simple one adopted in England. A printed paper, with blanks to be filled, is left at the house of every citizen, with instruc- tions to have the blanks properly filled on @ certain day, ready for the census Official to receive them. Thus the census is taken all over the country in one day, and it is taken accurately. Citizens there are not submitted to the inquisitorial torture of our people at the hands of the deputy mar- shalsa—ignorant fellows for the most part— who put all kinds of useless and offensive questions to the householder, and when they get hold of a poor servant girl fairly drive her into a frenzy. However, as the system has been adopted by Congress—another specimen of its saga- city—and there is no help for it, there is no use in people complaining. They must only do the best they can to answer the forty or fifty questions put to them by the gentlemen with the big books. The heads of the Census Bureau should see that the work is done with as much accuracy as possible under so loose asystem. They should direct their subordi- nates also to give as little annoyance to citi- zens as is consonant with the performance of their duty. None of our intelligent citizens have any objection to give all the information in their power and to assist the completion of tion with the causes operating to increase what we may call the wastage on the sea in one year as compared with another. Let any man of science compare, for example, the logs of the Cambria and Dauntless with the weather record of those twenty-three days in the same lati- tudes on the American and European Atlantic coast, and he will find a most interesting sub- ject for investigation. of the Financial Effects of the War Already Visible.

This was only thirty hours from the lightship, and in that time, therefore, the Dauntless gained over ten hours on her competitor; but even this does not account for the disparity. It is known that on Tuesday morn- It will be observed that the greatest distance made for any single day was by the Dauntless on the 20th—two hundred and twenty-five miles. the 9th—two hundred and twenty miles.

We are informed, too, that the Bank of France bas decided to pay out silver only, which means, we suppose, that it intends to hold on to the gold reserve. We hear at the same time of failures beginning at the London Stock Ex- change. It is estimated that the depreciation of securities of different kinds in England, in- cluding foreign stocks, between July 4 and 12, was about five hundred millions of dollars. If we take into account the decline of the French rentes, Pryssian securities and all other European stocks, both up to the 12th of July and since, the fall in values must be enormous. It was said that the house of Rothschild alone had lost about twenty millions of dollars. Of course there must be a vast number of suffer- ers who are not as well able to bear loss as the Rothschilds, and the consequence will be failures and a general financial disturbance. Should the war continue long, and especially if it should spread beyond France and Prussia, there will, no doubt, be a fearful crash. , Under these circumstances what will be the effect upon the securities and financial affairs of the United States? As a matter of course our securities have declined in common with all the rest abroad. This is the natural con- Rev. Dr. Newman Bound for Utah. The Rev. Dr. Newman, the distinguished pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist church at Washington, in which President Grant occu- pies a pew, delivered some time ago a sermon in which he exposed the errors of Mormon polygamy, not only in @ forcible, logical style, but, as it were, “speaking by authority.” His discourse was regarded by the nation as reflecting the views and policy of its chief, and therefore acquired importance in a political as well as religious point of view. It madea deep impression at Salt Lake City no less than elsewhere. A famous elder or bishop of the Latter Day Saints made an elaborate response tothe arguments of Dr. Newman, who was thus led to a still more thorough examination of the system of polygamy. Armed at all points for controversy on this subject, Dr. Newman left yesterday for Salt Lake City, where, in the temple itself, he will strive to convince Brigham Young and all his followers that their theories and practice are at variance not only with modern civilization but with the authority of the Sacred Scriptures. Doubtless the influence of the sermons of Dr. Newman and of the Pacific Railway, andof the elec- ceased over two years ago to have anything to do with the harbor news.

The canal treaty still continues to attract attention, and, after some alterations suggested by the American Minister, it passed the Colom- bian House of Representatives. The President of Colombia has achieved a noble work in securing for the republic the advantages to be derived from a national system of education. The sum of one hundred thousand dollars has been appropriated for the establishment of schools based upon a system similar to those in this country. In fact, our schools are to serve as a model for those to be established in Colombia, While the Colombians copy our educational system they feel loath to emulate the policy pursued by the government in the treatment of the Cuban question. From present appearances it seems probable that a coalition of most of the Spanish American republics will be formed to aid in securing the independence of Cuba and Porto Rico. This isa bold move, and Colombia is foremost in the lead. From Guatemala we learn of severe specially blamed. But Russia, according to accounts which we publish this morning, is becoming a little jealous of Prussian influence on the Baltic. It is said to be the feeling of some of her statesmen that Prussia must be checked, otherwise she will make the Baltic a Prussian lake. This sentiment is good for Na- poleon. We do not make much of the report that Russia is concentrating large bodies of men in her Polish territory, for the simple reason that such is a necessary precaution to hold in check the enthusiasm of the Poles, who warmly sympathize with France. But so large a force as Russia is said to be concen- trating in Poland, and close to the Prussian frontier, means that Russia is prepared to act, and to act to some purpose, if her interests re- quire her to draw the sword. Austria is evi- dently at her wits’ end. She knows not what todo. She has a big trouble to settle with Prussia. She has a big trouble also to settle with France. France laid her low in 1859-60.

But in the end the credit of those nations that are not involved in or directly affected by war must rise. Though there may be less money to invest than in time of peace the securities of a great neutral and prosperous nation like ours will be in demand and will rise high com- paratively. We need not be alarmed, there- fore, about our credit abroad, however long or widespread the war may be. After the decline which takes place at first in sympathy with the fll of securities in general in European marketa there must come a reaction. People will be glad to find such a safe and profitable means of investment as the United States offer under the disturbance and uncertainty of things in Europe. We advise both the govern- ment and our bankers and stock operators to look at the matter in this light and to prepare for future contingencies, Ao Anxious Inquiry.

Explain or own up. QIN THE CORNER, Mr. ‘‘Q in the Corner” is very polite, but we hardly know how to answer him. We can only assure him in the most solemn manner that we have stolen nothing from the Post Office or any other office. It is certainly true that we published a long war despatch on Wednesday which the 7Z’ribune published as its special the next day; but that is something we cannot help. Our columns are open to the world, and all the papers help themselves libe- rally, and if our contemporaries can make good “special despatches” out of our old mat- ter that is the cheapest way to get them.

Two very extraordinary cases of sudden death occurred simultaneously in Jersey City on Tuesday. It appears that two men who were bosom friends and constant companions, residing within a short distance of each other, took a walk through the city on that day, and during their perambulations drank several times. Soon after returning home, and almost atthe same moment, both men fell dead from their chairs, The fact that they were both young men, hearty, strong and enjoying good health, renders the cause of death very mysteri- ous. It will be # serious question for the Coro- ner to decide whether they were not poisoned by some substance imbibed in the liquor they indulged in during the day, He should endeavor to find out what liquors and in what houses they drank in their day’s ramble, and detect, if possible, who the parties are in Jersey City who sell the deadly poison, warranted to kill almost instantly. A skilful post-mortem examination will detect the ex- istence of poison, if such exists, in the system of the victims, The investigation of this curious case will be interesting. Governor Hoven evidently has the upper hand in North Carolina, He refuses to deliver up his citizen prisoners and the Chief Justice of the State refuses to attach him. The latter claims that the motion to attach the Governor must be made before Chief Justice Chase, who, no doubt, would attach the Governor readily enough, Technical plans and statements of the con- struction, range and efficiency of the Prussian needle gun and the French Ohassepot rifle have been so repeatedly published in our col- Umds that it were useless. to give them again upod this Gédasien, The Gret was tried with results @lsastrous to the Ansiriau on the bloody field of Sadowa, The second. utterly overwhelmed and appalled (aribaldi’s red- shirts at Mentana, Now they are set over against each other, and are to be wielded by the steadiest, the best disciplined and the most renowned troops in the world. Military science breathlessly awaits the result, Against the needle-gun it is practically a- leged that, after it has become heated by con- tinuous firing, it gets clogged and atiff, so that the soldier using it has sometimes to set the butt on the ground and work the mechanism by the pressure of his foot—a most awkward, inconvenient and dangerous necessity. If this allegation be strictly true the piece would be a poor reliance at the critical moment of a prolonged contest, But there are enthu- siastic friends of the ziindnadelyewehr who flatly deny that there is any drawback of the kind to,their favorite weapou. On the other hand, the Chassepot rifle throws out powder behind, it is said, in such a manner as greatly to confuse the soldier's aim while using it; and, moreover, should a cartridge miss fire, he has to open the chamber—nay, almost take it apart—to get rid of the useless encumbrance and replace it with a proper charge. Tho French government have been fully aware of this difficulty for some time, and were making their preparations to distribute an improved weapon; but the force of events and the press- ing difficulties of the situation leave them no time to ‘swap horses.” They are in for tha fight, and should their reliance on the Chasse- pot prove to be as delusive as some old war veterans predict that it will, a fearful demorali- zation, similar to that which overtook the brave Austrians in 1866, must ensue. In this dilemma the Remington rifle has renewed at- traction for military men. Officers recently in this city, on a mission to purchase firearms for the Khedive of Egypt, expressed and practically manifested a decided preference for the American article, and it is rumored that European agents for the belligerent and other Old World governments are eagerly looking for the warlike productions of Ameri- can genius. The most formidable vessel in the great French navy is our old American iron- clad, the Dunderberg; and the Stevens battery on this side of the ocean is coveted by two or three foreign competitors as being better than anything that they can construct. Why, thea, should not this war, since it must go on, afford fresh opportunities for the triumph of cis-At- lantic ingenuity? Why may we not invent something that will utterly eclipse both Chasse- pot and needle-gun, and, by the time that Gaul and Teuton have grown tired of mutual slaughter, show them in their exhauetion that we have both the will and the means to keep the peace hereafter? It is quite certain that if all that is said of both the weapons to which we have referred and on which the issue, for the moment, hangs, be true, the table of the Kilkenny cats will be illustrated on a stupen- dous scale in this Franco-Prussian struggle. For loss and massacre a victory will only be a little leas disastrous, materially speaking, than defeat. Morally, however, defeat can amount to nothing much better than utter demoraliza- tion, instant loss of self-confidence and total rout. Thus, in the wondrous ways of Provi- dence the Chassepot and the needle-gun, 80 recently the rods of terror held over the heads of two great populations, become, by being turned against each other, the ultimate com- joint allies of peace ard the people, The Case of Real. Governor Hoffman has already declined to commute the sentence of Real; but it is re- ported that additional pressure is to be brought to bear upon the Governor to secure this change in the punishment of Real. Fortu- nately the Governor is a man who needs no in- straction at the hands of journalists, and, without having his attention specially called, is competent to see every point in such a case, whether it relates to his duty, to humanity, on the one hand, or to the law on the other. But as a statement is addressed to the public as well as the Governor, and’seems to propose to operate on the Executive through popular sym- pathy, it seems proper to observe that the story now told is not in accordance with what was shown on the trial, and also that it in- volves one mischievous thought. It implies that Real was found guilty not because he was guilty, but because public sentiment, horrified by many murders, “required a victim.” This game argument has been used recently in an- other cage. This is only another way to state the view of Jack Reynolds—with a qualifica- tion—‘‘Hanging is played out,” unless there is a public excitement and a “victim” is neces- sary. It is strange from what material wo make victims. Tae Cutnese.Massaore.—A despatch re- ceived at Paris on the 27th inst., overland, announces that four French vessels had ar~ rived before Tientsin, the scene of the re- cent Chinese massacre, which was so horrible in {ts details that, for a time, the press of Eu- rope and America refused to lend it credence. Unhappily the tragic. story has since been sub- stantially confirmed. But the same despatch to which we have alluded announces also that Schong Ho, a high Chinese functionary, has been appointed Chinese Ambassador to Paris, with instruction to offer ample satisfaction to France for the outrages committed on French citizens. The advantages of the Burlingame treaty have thus been signally manifested. Under the former relations of foreign Powers with the Chinese empfre, the four.French men~ of-war would have lost no time in opening fire on Tientsin. But now that the Chinese empire. has, by the Burlingame treaty, been brought into regular relations with the rest of the civ- ilized world, a local and temporary outbreak of, barbarianism can be satisfactorily atoned for without resorting to the less civilized remedy: of war.
