of the celestial sphere. At Inst, in 6 supreme hour, the thunders of a horrible warftre and the wail of a dying people drown the sym- phonies of tho organ below and the chime of bells and shake away tho meobanism of the past, e But the finger of the spire points still slgnift- cantly to heaven above the ruin and slaughter at Its base; far over the laid smoke of battle the oross uplifted oa highcan be seon within and without the beleaguered city; time pauses with horror in the confusion and distress of hamanity, bat tho eternal symbol, with ils | momories and its hopes, is there in the pre- senee of bilterly contending armies and on the very frontiers of two races who are close aplghbors and should be cordial friends. Let it speak with emblematic eloquence to the conscience of Germany and France—to the senso and feeling of Christendom. Let it be to-day an appeal and a sign of peaco and rooonciliation rather than become to-morrow, in its scathod and blackened rain, a momento of wrath and vengeance. Fuith, forgiveness, and oiviligation rather than endless hate and Wendell Phillips on the War aud the #o- sition of Prusslu. While certain perty radical organs and | feaders are trimming their sails on the war question with a view to secure the German vote here Wendell Phillips comes out with a trenchant article against Prussta for continu- Ing to fight the French republic. Ho {s a radi- eal of the radicals and boldly expresses his | views, regardless of party considerations, Lis article, which we published on Friduy, is full of fire and eloquence. Itis the bugle note of the universal repul sounding from this side the Atlantic, and denounces in scathing terms the King of Prussia and the other mon- | archs as well as the aristocracies of Europe. | The burden of his denunciation is that Prussia did not made peace after the baitle of Sedan, but continued to make war on the republic of France after the cause of the war was removed and the French desired to end it. He warns Prussia, or rather the Prussian monarey, that by waging war against republicanism and the sentiments of the ago itz full will be as terrible as that of Napoleon. There is much truth and force in what this radical enfand terrible said, particularly at the time he wrote, but cir- cumstances have changed somewhat since then. Judging from tho circular letter of Count Bismarck to the representatives of | Prussia to foreign governments and from the | latest news received the King of Prussia is not going to assume the dangerous réle of cham- pion of the monarchies of Europe as agaiast republicanism. Whatever, his wishes may have been he finds this too perilous. Tae days of the old Holy Alliance are past, and the Pruasi@® monarch will hardly venture to take upon himself single-handed the task of defend- ing monarchical government against the revo- tution, What Wendell Phillips says, however, about | the general situation of Europe and the posi- tion of the governments is very graphic and to the point. ‘Since the last soldier left Rome,” he remarks, “the Pope has spent his anxious hours in deciding where be shall run; and Victor Emanuel assures him that Italy's moving on Rome is only to save it from the red republicans. Rassia shrinks back, hoping to hide from the age amid her solitndes. Aus- tria is only asking how soon the storm will | reach her. England would be glad to do or | say something; but, haunted by the Alabama | in her dreams, she can spare no waking moment from the watch over Ire- land and her own radicals. So she yields her place at the first table of States, and content- edly takes her seat with the pages—Belgium, Denmark aud Switzerland—at the second board. The whole of Europe is honeycombed, and the seething waves toss and run on be- neath the thin crust. Like Holmes’ ‘One Horse Shay,’ all the thrones drop to pieces at once. They remind one of the cab horse in ‘Pickwick,’ which could stand while in motion— stop him and he fell at once.” This is a true picture of the state of Europe; but the revolu- tion moves so fast that more States than Mr. Phillips enumerates are coming upon the can- | vas. The Ottoman empire, Exypt, Algiers, and® other parts of the Old World, both of Europe and Africa, begin to loom up as promi- nent figures in the revolutionary scene. We | live in a wonderful age. The most far-seeing wind can hardly grasp the future or imagine what is coming out of the present movements. Of this, however, we are assured, that the di fusion of knowledge through the press, tele- | graph and other agents of our modern civiliza- tion makes it impossible to revive the past. | Progress in securing the rights of the people and their political and social amelioration is | inevitable, } The French balloon mail wafis off—uot staris any more—from Paris once a week in the direction of England. Our cable reports of the opinions of the French press on the war and peace questions published to-day were synopsized in London from files received from the French capital through the clouds, and then telegrafhed to us under the ocean. The HeRAtp is consequently the great terres- trial intermediary of the powerful agencies of gunpowder and electricity. The Prussians are looking after this mail, however. Germany is taking a sky range, One of the mail balloons from Paris had just attained a very favora ble current fot its voyage when a Ger- man cannon was levelled at the mail agent and fired. The discharge caused his balloon to vibrate fearfully for a time, but he got along all right and landed in England. Hxtracts from his newspaper packages appear in the Heratp to-day. This is sharp practice | all around. An Irish poet tells us that “‘aefther heaven nor earth‘is free from her power if fond she be.” This is of a lady. The French will come to assure us that neither Paris nor heaven—both pretty much alike in a Vrenchman’s mind—is free from thé Prussian | if in hate it be. | Muarary Enquerre,-In the capital of | "rance and in the palace of her sovereigns | King William says be will make peace—not , elsewhere.

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FEVER. Detention of Steumships—Importnnt Qua tine Notice to Pilots and Masters of Vessels from Infected Ports. In view of the recent intelligence trom New Or leans as to the ravages of yellow lever there, the Health OMicer of the port yesterday detained the steamship Western Metropolis and her passengers as Lower Quarautine., Thus action was necessitated from the fact that not only ts that dread disease very prevalent there, but that the steamship De Soto, on her recent backward trip from New Orieans to this ~ port, when stop- ing at Havana, wis compelied to leave ve of her crew sick with yellow lever in hospital at the same place. These inen had contracted the disease at New Orleans, and it was of a virulent type. Hereafter, unttl the fever shall pave abated in the Crescent City and the weather haa become cooler, ali vessels from that port will undergo like detention with those from Havana. The Western Metropolis’ passengers and crew were lu apparent good heaith on her arrifal, and the vessel's deten- Uon, although uvuapleasant to both those on board and the Quarantine officials, Was compuisory in view of the facts stated. The following important notice was yesterday Is- sued by the Heaith OMcer of the port to masters of vessels and pilots interested.

Eastman, ali of whom were engaged in making observations of the eclipse of the 7th of August, 1569, They will be supplied with instruments of the most approved kind, with Sach improvements and changes as were suggested by thelr experience tast yeur. 1 addition to all ob- servations with regular instruments of a fleid obser- vatory there will be fall use made of spectro- Scopes, polariscopes and photography.

When he ts set free next month his friends at Richmond will extend to him @ public re- ception, and there will be a general joilificatton over the release of the much abused Pat Woods. The Mexican Claims Commission. ‘The Mexican Claims Commission has now been tr existence for several months, silently working ab the various legion of reclamations submitted to tts consideration. Very little idea is had of the tm- meuse piles of Manuscript through which the Com- Mibsiouers aud thelr soletitors and clerks have to Wade. ‘The claima, with all the accompanying docu- ments, piled up, would make a very respectanie public building, There are nearly 1,100 on one side, and 1,000 claitas on the other. ‘The Cotal amount of clauns of American ciitzeus against Mexico, inelud- ing (hat of tke Woodhouse Zetuantepec Company, is $957,907, 519. Remvaats of tadiaa Tribes to New England. The Census Bureau is in receipt of advices from various United Staves marshaisin New England States that there are quite a number of remnants of old Indian tribes there who retain thelr distinotive- ness from the civil’zed populavions, and claim to be classed accordingly, Which ts 4 fact not ascertained in any previous census. The Supermtendent has instituted inquires a3 to the condition of these Jadlans so as to class them, if necessary, as tribes, in which case they will come under the supervision of the Indian Bureau.

Jay Gould paid a flying visit to Washington yestere day. 1¢ is reported that he and James Fisk, Jr., will soon exieud their genius in railroad matters to the banks of tne Potomac. Senhor Magalhaens, the Brazil Minister, has re- ceived a leave of absence for six months and wilh the departare of two corps of observers, but the points have not as yet been selected and may pot be determined until their arrival in Europe. One of the parties will be under Professors Pierce and Schott, who ave booked to leave on the 4th of Octo- ber, The other party will be composed of Professor Winlock, of Harvard College; Aivin Clarke, Jr., the celebrated instrument maker, of Cambridge; Projos- sor Pickering, of Boston, and Professor Young, of Dartmouth Coliege, who expect to leave New York on the 1st of November. They, too, will be suppiied with ail the mstruments necessary for the mosu complete observations. A commendable rival. ry seems to exist between the coast survey and Navy Department as wo which party will turutsh the fullest and most satis- factory reports, The scientific world nay therefore expect observations of the most perfect character and an account of thetr labors that will be tn the highest degree creditable to us as a people. The naval corps expect to leave ere the latver part of October, Too Many Offices for One William A. Richardson, the Assistant § etary of the Treasury, bas made up his mind to leave Wash- ington for his home at Cambridge, Mass. The Attor- ney General having returned, he is shorn of the du- tles of Acting Attorney General. The return of tary Boutweil will relieve him of the responsibilities of Acting Secretary of the Treasury, and by his own volition he purposes to divest nimself of the remain- ing honor—to wit, Assistant Secretary of ihe 'Trea- sury—and shake the gold dust of tie Treasury trom the soles of his feet forever. Relief for the Germans in Paris. | ‘There 1 to-day the best authority for saying that there 1s no truth in the published statement that Mr. Fish has explicitly instructed Mir. Washburne that he can do nothing whatever to mitigate the sur- ferings of the expelled Germans. Mr. Wasnburne, under the iustruction-and permigsion of the State Doparuuient, has afforded relief and mitigated the sufferings of many thousands of Germans expelled from Paris. Tue limit of his edorts in that direction has been only the capacity of physical e| labor. The stdin Signal Corns. General Myer, in charze of the Storm Signa! Corps, is now awaiting the arrival of the insirumenta ordered for the use of the observers, who are Ww pe Stationed at different points for the purpose of making meteorological reports for the benefit of com- merce. The corps will consist of fity sergeants, ana nearly that number are now under instruction. A portion of the corps was last night engaged tn | making observations of the aurora borealis at ther camp near this city, ‘using the various justrumenta furnished by the War Department for thet purpose. It is regarded as highly | creditable to the officer im charge that those who have already been examined evinced a degree of proficency m the knowledge necessary for | correct observations, and the Secretary of War | | hopes to be able to lay before Congress at its next session such satisfactory evidence of the system to be carried out by the Siorm Signal Corps as will justify an increase of the force and an enlargement of tts Held of asefuiness, Jnterual Revenur Matters.

Spley Letter from ©x-U. Wood—He Does Not Like Hix Successor te OMfve—Colonel Whitley’s Reply Waated. To THe Epiror OF THE HERALD:— yqur issue of this date appears the publication of an article which requires notice from myself. The identical plates on which the spurious seven-thirty $1,000 notes were printed were delivered to the Trea- sury Department by myscif. Said spurious plates are Ot battered up 80 as to prevent identification, which will fully appear in the suits aow pending. I did not receive the $15,000 reward alluded to. The evidence of Charles Adams or Langdon W. Moore is not essential to prove the identification of the spurious § plutes referred to; bus Langdvua W. Moore did furiish information to mayseif, Which resulted im great financial magni- tude to the government, and also resulted in my obtaining ihe spurious plates reverred to. be- Heved ho hovest aan in New York, competent to jodge, could or would say any tiling detrimental to imy oficial acts as ciiet of the Secret Service Dtvi- sion. Whatever transactions or recommendations were entertained by Judye David were fully sanc- toned by unquestionable evidence, and upon @ por- tion of this evidence Hon. George 8. Boutwell, Sec- velary of the Treasury, oniclally approved the action of Judge Davis, For the present it is not politie to make further publicity of the fuets of the case while the suils are pendiny iv the United Sta’es courts. Mr. Wiitiey, chief of the Secret Service Dtvi- lon in such capacity was couddently entrusted with some information in the case. His wantfof common sense and hislack of genilemanty qualities, caused the publications ailuded to, as much 80 as if bis name appeared thereto. The general public does not Know that this man Whitley, chief off the Secret Service Diviston, was arrested on warrant in Bos ton, Mass, (before he was made chief of the Secret Service Division), for the swindling of Be F. Bigelow, of said Boston, and that an indictment was found against said Whitley for said offen but previous to cord being made of the finding ofthe jury the attorneys for said Whitley a compromise which prevented an exhibit of said in- aictment on. the recortt of the Boston court, The copy of the Warrant, a sworn to for the oifence commiued by Whitley, ls now on fie in tue Boston courts, The bad Inanagement of the man in bis present oficial capacity. Littieness of ability and bis magni- tude of seidshuess is weil Kuowa where he ts known. Op a recent visit of Secretary Boutweil to Boston the Assistant United States District Attorne: for Massachusetts called upou the Secretary an stated that the character of Whitley was 30 notori- ous in Boston that no conyiction were possible in any ease Where the (estimony of Wiitley was unsup~ ported. Such is the character of the man from the State where he ts best known, Who now attempts to assall Judge Davis, Comment is unuecessary. WM. P. Woop, Ex-Chief Detective Secret Service Division A MEWARK BRUISCR BADLY BRUISED. Abont eight o'clock last evening a rather respect ably dressed young man, named Adam Goble, of 52 Wiliam street, Newark, was taken into custody and locked up to await examination on a charge of ma- cious mischtef, preferred by Oscar Weisner, of 27 William street, Gobie is a one-armed maa, and | when arrested his remaining band was bleediag coplously from an ugiy garb. it appears he had been pul out of one saloon and tried to get into another (Weisner’s), but was prevented.
