Condition of Burope—Whne "NEW YORK HERALD |™ 20523 Europe at present is like a ship at seain a terriflo storm, when all on board are at their wits’ end to know how to save themselves. She is rocking and surging on the waves of warand revolution, The old statesmen who have had the helm in hand have become un- steady and obstinate, not willing to throw overboard the dead weight of the past, and no bolder and more capable men have yet appeared to lighten and guide the sbip. The monarchs and aristocracies are intent upon crushing, or, at least, checking the revolution, They have but one thougbt—to eave their crowns and privileges. ‘To do this they would rather have the war continued and all the Conti- nent in @ blaze than yield to the republican revolution. The sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of lives, or millions even, and the accumulation of stupendous debts, weigh as nothing in the scales against their prerogatives. On the other hand the sentiments of liberty, republicanism, progress and emancipation from despotic rule are deep-seated in the hearts of the people, These are upheaving society everywhere like a mighty earthquake, But the people lack or- ganization and able leaders. While they are the real and great power they have been s0 long under the heel of monarchical and aris- tocratic rule that they hardly know how to use their strength. Still, with all the disad- vantages they Jabor under, and with all the organized power of the old rulers and the enor- mous military forces under their control, the people aro making the great progress toward self-government. It is this conflict between the privileged few and the masses—between the Boos of the past and the present—that is now raging in Europe and that has brought about the chaotio state of things there. This struggle is seen very prominently in the relentless war whiok tho Prygsian monarchy is making upon the republic of France. With- out avowing it, and, indeed, while it is denied by Count Bismarck, there is no doubt that the chief object of the war now on the part of Prussia is to squelch the republic—to strangle it in its infancy—lest republican ideas should spread in Germany and over Europe, Thia is natural; just as much so as for a man to exert all his efforts to save his property when threatened. The monarchs and aristocracies have regarded the people as their heritage and government over them as their right. Consequently there is nothing they will leave undone to matotain their privileges. They know very well that a republic in France is a standing menace to them and their pretensions, They saw the effect in 1830 and 1848 of revolu- tion in France. From the central position of that country, as well as from the electric forco of revolutionary ideas that rise there, the whole Continent becomes agitated. It has always been, and still-is, the focus of revolu- tionary and republican contagion in Europe. Is it not natural, then, for King William of Prussia to wage war against the French republic in the interest of himself and family and for his brother monarchs? Is not this o sufficient reason why the other crowned heads, and why Queen Viotoria and the British aris- tocracy, stand aloof and do not attempt to stop the war? Another evidence of this conflict of ideas and the chaos into which Europe is thrown is the activity of monarchical and imperialist agents. Almost all the news received in America and spread over Europe is either given out or concocted by these agents with a coloring to suit their purposes, At one time we hear of dreadful doings in Paris and other parts of France by the ‘‘reds” and dis- organizers, and this in the face of the fact that the French people are acting with great unity to preserve internal order while they aro heroically fighting the foreign invader. Tho object of such pretended news is apparent, It is to operate upon the public sentiment of the world, to create alarm of the republic, and to make people believe order can only be maintained under monarchical government. Now we have on one day a pretended imperialist manifesto of Napoleon, emanating from an imperialist organ established in London, and on the next day a report that this is bogus. But whether bogus or not it shows the active agency of parties in Europe to damago and check repub- licanism, to sustain monarchy and to make the present confusion more confounded. And it is well to note that the British capital, more than any other place, is the hotbed of this spurious news and these anti-republican move- ments. But what does this chaotio state of things portend? What is to come out of it? From present appearances all Europe, and may be a part of Asia and Africa, {s going to be involved in war and revolution, Even those monarchs not engaged in war may resort to it to avert revolution at home and to give another direction to the public mind, This, however, may prove in the end a two-edged sword. The people are now too enlightened, probably, to be deceived by that, and the revolution the rulers would avert by such mesns may lead to it. Then there are national and terri- torial questions springing up, and ques- tions of race and _ religion, as well of the adjustment of the balance of power, which add to the complications and make the future very uncertain. Russia ig moving for some object, and, probably, for accomplishing her long desired purpose in the East. Eng- land is trembling and the prey of uncertainty, Austria is anxiously watching events, and doubtful what course to take, Italy has made great strides and obtained a great and positive result in taking Rome and uniting all the Italians, but she is in the throes of revolution and fast tending to a republic. Chaos reigns supreme, and the only light gleaming upon us is that showing the advancement of the people toward self-government in one form or another. No one can say how long the strug- gle will last, or what dreadful scenes Europe has to pass through; but the end must be more freedom for the people and a nearer approach to the admirable and progressive system of government established in our own happy country. Ye Frmesxps or tHE Muissionarts to the “heathen Chinee,” why don’t you turn your attention to the lamentations that come from the poor people who suffer by the deluge in Virginia? The Military Situation. ‘The situation outside of immediate events about Paris is assuming considerable import- ance, especially in connection with the move- ments against Toursand Lyons and the pro- gress of organization among the new levies. The dreaded Prussians have appeared again at Pithiviers, which little town must by this time be as completely impoverished by their numerous visits, as Winchester, Va., was by the innumerable raids of troops on both sidea during our civil war. The Prussians have also appeared at Mantes-sur-Marne, Rolle- bois and Chalaman, and we may judge from the relative position of these places that they are making o march of conoentra- tion on Lyons, sweeping the country like & broom as they swept it from Sedan to Paris, Some apprehension is entertained in Tours that that city is also threatened ; but it does not seem likely unless the left of the line can be spared temporarily from the march for that purpose. In the meantime Lyons is preparing rapidly for defence. The Prefect of the Rhone having been granted plenary powers has issued instructions to the troops in the city and otherwise commenced his prepara- tions, All over the country the sharpshooters, the Franc-tireurs, are harassing their enemy, as the bushwhackers or guerillas in the South harassed the Union troops. Calaisis filled with National Guards, corps of men have arrived in Tours to receive arms, the clergy are exert- ing themselves to arouse the populace, and the rural voters have cast their ballots almost unanimously in favor of the existing republican government. Paris may yet find the hardy peasantry a very help in time of trouble, The Threatened Bombardment of Paris, The fate of Strasbourg warné us that the Prussian enemy encircling Paris will not hesi- tate to bombard even the historic capital of France, The siege train has already partly arrived, and heavy guns, some of them un- doubtedly of a calibre equal to the Swamp Angel at Charleston, are being mounted in strong redoubts on the north, south and weat of the city. On the heights at Villejuif guns of the immense ealibre with which we have a right to accredit _the siege train, of the Prus- sians can dend solid shot and shell into the city as far as the famous Quartier Latin, one of the most populous districts in the city, while the little villages of Montrouge, Ivry and Charenton can be demolished almost at the first fire. The battery on the north now being erected at Gennevilliers will command the vil- lages of Colombes, St. Ouen, St. Denis and Garenne, and will be able to hurl its iron destruction to within a few blocks of the Champs Elysées. Within easy range of it are the Montmartre Cometery and the Parc Monceaux. The battery on the west, at St. Cloud, or rather on the rising ground to the west of it, will command the villages of St. Cloud, Sevres and Billancourt and the race course at Long Champs, and will probably be enabled to réach #6 far iato thé city a4 the Military School and the Champs de Mars. Thug it will be seen that some of the handsomest quarters and suburbs of Paris may be subject to the first effects of the bom- bardment. In these are some of the hand- somest buildings and places in the world— buildings and places which are eagerly sought out by the tourist for their historic interest or their personal beauty. At St. Cloud is one of the summer palaces of the Emperor and two exquisite parks. At St. Denis is the old abbey church where the monarchs of France, from Dagobert to Marie Antoinette, are buried. At Sevres is the great Sevres ware manufac- tory, with the museum attached; and besides these there are numerous buildings, monu- ments and parks on the edges of the city proper which may, as the bombardment pro- gresses, be also subject to the destructive fire. Thus we may see at a glance the effect which the barbarous project of the Prussians may have upon the gorgeous capital of the world of fine arts, science, literature, beauty and fashion. The Parisians themselves are awaiting the bombardment in apparent help- lessnega. It is said they have buried the books of their rare libraries under ground, and stationed lookouts on Notre Dame to warn the populace of the exist- ence of fires. That the Prussians have stern vandalism enough to carry out the bombard- ment is evinced by recent events at Stras- bourg, a city equal in historic valuo almost to Paris itself. The French, by vigilance and daring on the part of trained and skilful sharpshooters, may silence the huge batteries planted for the demolition of the city, as Grant's sharpshooters silenced almost com- pletely the batteries at Vicksburg, by ap- proaching close enough to pick off the artil- lerymen through the embrasures; but the Prussians are more experienced in the arts of war and are apt to circumvent finally any such attempt. It remains for the great Powers of Europe to save the city, and if it is actually subjected to so galling a rain of shot and shell as befell Strasbourg, the selfish policy of England, the indifference of Austria, the criminal tardiness of Russia, the vandal- ism of Germany and the innate hatred of re- publicanism in all combined must be held responsible for the gloomicst tragedy in the history of the war. “Detays ARE DANGEROUS,” and so are the delays on the widening of Broadway, now under contract, between Barclay and Cham- bers, streets, The contractors must “hurry up. Taz Dotness 16 Watt Srruzt.—The brokers have been wondering incessantly at the almost chronic inactivity of Wall street. The extent of that dulness was measured at the annual meeting of the Clearing House yese terday—an institution comprising nearly all the banks in the city, when the exchanges for the year ending October 1, 1870, showed @ failing off of eleven billions (!) of dollars as compared with the exchanges for the year pre- vious. The activity of commercial and finan- cial circles in 1868-69 requ'red an interchange of money in this city to the extent of $38,000,000,000, The financial activity being eliminated almost entirely by the paralytic stroke which speculation received in Septem- ber, 1569, the exchanges for the yoar ending last Saturday, October 1, were only $27,000,000,000.. At the same timo the aver- age daily business in money was reduced from £125.000.000 to $90,000.00, ‘the Emancipation of Rome Pope. ‘The people of the “Eternal City” and of the Papal States, by acclamation, have ratified the annexation of the city and its surrounding dependencies to the kingdom of Italy. Rome is emancipated from the temporal government of the Pope, and the Pope—for which, if he is not, he onght to be devoutly thankful—is emancipated from the temporal government of Rome. The temporal kingdom of the Pope is absorbed in the Italian kingdom, of which Rome now becomes the capital. Itisa great thing for Rome, a glorious achievement for Italy and a blessed thing for the Pope. In the year of our Lord 756, or over eleven hundred years ago, Pope Stephen was in- vested with the temporal dominion of Rome. That was the beginning. His successors, half a century later, became, through the conces- sions of territory from Charlemagne, and his recognition of Papal authority, political balance of power in Europe. In 1054 the Pope first strengthened himself with a stand- ing army. In 1077 his political supremacy had become so widely acknowledged that he (Gregory VII.) obliged Henry IV., Emperor of Germany, to stand three days, in the depth of winter, barefooted, at his castle gate to implore his pardon for having dared to disobey the su- preme commands of Rome. In 1191 the Pope (Celestine Ill.) kicked the Emperor Henry VIL's crown off his head, while kneeling, to show the Holy Father's prerogative of making and unmaking kings. Appeals to Rome from England were con- tinued till 1553, when they were abolished, and from that time, under various vicissitudes, the political power of the Pope, ag gne of the veroigns of Eurppe, declined, down to the Sei dich Povolution of 1789, when his in- fluence in political affairs was reduced to a mere shadow of aathority. In 1796 he made his submission to the French republic; in denial of the authenticity of a long communi- cation republished yesterday morning from advance proofs of La Situation, the imperi- alist French organ in London, and purporting to be the exact repetition of a document issued from Wilhelmshthe by the ex-Emperor Napo- leon III. The writing in question was to have been giyen to the public under the title, ‘The Ideas of the Emperor,” and the main point of the whole argument, next to an attempt to discredit the provisional government, was that, should the war between France and Ger- many go on persistently, there would “surely spring out of this shock a formidable Unknown (un inconnu),” as much to be feared by Ger- many as by France. It matters not, for the purport of what we have to say, whether the above document bo authentio or the work of a cunning forger. The bint hidden under the cloak of ‘“The Unknown” is all the same, and it is of tbis mysterious thing or personage that we would speak. Either Napoleon him- self, or the scribe who has pretended to write for him, has given us those words fitly spoken which, the sacred script hath it, are “‘ike apples of gold in pictures of silver.” Months ago, ere the Franoo-Prussian war began, and when the empire was atill in the very jubilee of its proclaimed triumph by plebiscitary vote, we alluded to trials then pending at Paris in which certain prominent members of the “Taternationg) Sogiety,” so called—the French branch of the General Interaational Worklagmen’s Union— were implicated. The evidence was circumstantial and voluminous, several of the leading Paris journals giving it in full. The result was partly lost in the tre- mendous clangor that attended the outbreak of the war ; but enough had bzen elicited to show that the organization of which the men arraigned were members extended through~ 1798 he was expelled from Rome; in 1809 he was dethroned and held as a priaoner at Fon- tainebleau by Napoleon the First, and so re- mained till Napoleon’s first overthrow, 1814, when he was restored by the Holy Alliance, as a sort of political balance in their European reorganization. In 1848 the Pope (Pie. Nono), after being held some time a prisoner in Rome, escaped from the revolu- tionary republican authorities and remained an exile in the kingdom of Naples till 1850, when he was restoréd to the Vatican. Since that restoration, maintained in his temporal authority by a protecting French army and by the diplomacy of Louis Napoleon, the Pope has had a comparatively good time down to the proclamation of his infallibility by the late learned and imposing Ecumenical Coun- cil, Since that famous proclamation we have had the astounding events that. have resulted in relieving him of his temporal power, and in making Rome once more, as it was. made in 476, the capital of the kingdom of Italy. Such are a few of the remarkable incidents and vicissitudes which mark the history of the Papacy as a temporal Power through a period of eleven hundred years. It is all over now, and from the abundant lessons of this impressive history we are fully convinced that in relieving Rome of the temporal government of the Pope, and the Pope from the temporal government of Rome, the Italians and the Romans have done a glorious work for them- selves, for Rome, for Italy and for the Pope and the Church. The Pregress of German Unity. The battle of Sadowa, 1866, made Prussia mistress of North Germany and gave birth to the Northern Confederation. It did more— it taught the South German States the pro- priety, if not necessity, of courting the friendly alliance of the North. No sooner was the treaty of peace signed between Austria and Prussia than the fact was made public, much to the annoyance of the Emperor Napoleon, that Prussia and the Northern Confederation had entered into a military alliance, offensive and defensive, with Bavaria and Wurtemberg and Baden. A military alliance with these South German States was not all that Bis- marck and the German unionists who acted with him wanted. More, however, it was impossible for the present to obtain, Sedan has now accom- plished what Sadowa left undone, Baden, it was always known, was impatient for a closer union with the North. There were doubts about Wurtemburg and Bavaria. It appears that Bavaria and Wurtemberg have made an end of those doubts by a formal vote in favor of confederation with the North. If this be correct Germany is now more a unit than she has ever been in ail her previous history, and Count Bismarck has gloriously crowned the edifice. In all future time Bismarck will be spoken of as the most daring and the most successful of the statesmen of the nineteenth century. His name will live forever, Wuo Witt Starr A Sussoription in aid of the sufferers by the terrible floods in Virginia ? Some of our large tobacco houses ought to set the ball in motion. Ratner Harp on Anpy.—A Southern exchange says :—‘‘Andy Johnson has kicked the lid off of his political coffin and is sitting bolt upright therein, enlightening the skele- tons, bats and owls of his vault about ‘my policy’ and secession.” Say what they may about Andy Johnson, we are rather inclined to think the radicals would prefer having him out rather than in Congress. Toe OxreNnTars THREATENING TROUBLE.— The North China Herald speaks of a treaty recently entered into between China and Japan for the expulsion of foreigners, These pigtailed and two-sworded brethren will pro- bably have to be brought to their senses by the logic of modern artillery; but in the meantime what dangers will not be incurred by the European and American residents in the trading ports of those countries! The horrible slaughter of the priests and nuns at Tien-tsin has not yet been atoned for; but we expect soon to learn that the English and French fleets have exacted full reparation and inflicted the severest chastisement on that bar- barous and bloodthirsty community. If the treaty spoken of be an actual fact the gov- ernment of the United States will have to make common cause with European goveraments in protecting its citizens and compelling China and Japan to have respect for them and for fhe civilisation which they represent, ‘out the French and British empires, part of the United States; all Germany, Belgium and Switzerland; many districts of Spain, Italy and Scandinavia, and all the westernmost pro- vinces of Russia. The various separate national organizations, it appeared, were subordinate to one supreme council, the seat of which was not made known, but which evidently could be shifted from point to point as exigency might require. The indictment in the particu- lar prosecution here mentioned set forth that the various mizers’ and weavers’ strikes and riotg that occurred just before the plediscitwm were incited by the secret agencies of this vast combination, and it was proven that persons concerned in these disturbances had recelved pocthlafy aid from some of the subsidiary leagues in England and Switzer- land. At the same time the assertion was made in print that the grand total of the whole body included more than a million of paying members. . Let us now remind the attentive reader that very recently an appeal went forth from the committees of workingmen in Paris to their brethren in Germany to arrest the war, and that immediately thereafter an agitation, ‘not loud but deep,” was observed in all the capitals and manufacturing towns from the Rhenish to the Russian frontier. The German liberals were instantly seen and heard in active motion, and one of their leading men (Herr Jacobi) was arrested by the Prussian government. Do not these indications pretty clearly sug- gest to us what may be the character of that “formidable Unknown,” mentioned in the let- ter, real or pretended, of Napoleon? The “Marianne” (Mary Anne Disraeli has it) was the nightmare—the ‘Spectre Rouge” —of the French reactionary writers o few years since, and the Madre Natura, so mystically shadowed forth by the English novelist in “Lothair” can readily be placed by all who have even conned the history of the Italian “Carbonari,” much more by those who have trodden with bleeding feet the soil that re- ceived the dead at Mentana, where the Chasse- pot rifle, now beaten by the needle gun, per- formed such ‘‘wonders.” No man better than Napoleon or his advisers, or those who are at this moment the real rulers of France, can comprehend that the bleeding, suffering, hungry masses who, in their agony, cry out with indignation, before Heaven, while wrong and slaughter go on unchecked, that ‘human flesh should be so cheap and bread to eat so dear”—none better, wo repeat, than these could surmise that the miserable, trampled, long-suffering toilers in the stifling workshop and tillers of the glebe (so often reddened by their own gore) are the terrible ‘‘Unknown” that, unless peace quickly come, may spread its brawny hands, with no gentle clasp, over all Western Europe! American Jooxey CLius—JERoME Park Raoxs.—The races at Jerome Park, under the guidance of the American Jockey Club, begin to-morrow. From present indications this autumn meeting will be the most brilliant racing carnival that ever took place in Ame- rica. The gatherings at the famous Derby, the Oaks, St. Leger and Goodwood in England, or Chantilly or Longchamps in France have always been grand, but we doubt very much ifthe display of beauty and fashion at the above named places will excel that of Jerome Park during the coming meeting. The racing will be fine beyond doubt, as there are now in training at the course about one hundred of as fine horses as ever were plated for a race. In the various stakes and purses to be run for the doubt that exists as to the capabilities of the runners gives the great charm to the occasion. The uncertainty of choosing favorites was never so perplexing as now, and the ‘knowing ones” of the turf seem to be all abroad in their endeavors to pick the winners. More Rincixa or Caprset CHANGES.— Tho latest phase which the subject of Cablfnet changes at Washington has taken represents Messrs, Fish, Cox aad Robeson as being about to retire to the shades of private life, and General Walbridge, Ben Wade and somebody else, still in the background of the picture, as being ready to take upon themselves the cares of office thus to be shuffled off by the present incumbents, These periodical Cabinet changes devised by newspaper correspondents must be highly entertaining to President Grant, and serve, at all events, to beguile the tedium of official life in Washington, ‘‘Oaly that, and nothing more.” The success of the democracy in the approaching November election may be set down, even at this early day; as un , accompli. In the city they will carry all them by anoverwhelming miajority. No oppo sition from the republican party, of course, can make more than a show of resistance to democratio supremacy, while the outside work of cliques and factions can hardly be expected, to diminish the majority of the party to any extent worth considering. Looking at events as they stand throughout the State there ls no reason to predict anything butthe election of Hovwas and the rest of the State ticket, The usmocracy, thus having obtained control of this great State—the Pharos, the shining beacon which guides politi- cal opinion and decides political issues in go many other States—must accept the vast responsibility which falls, as the legacy of victory, upon the shoulders of the leaders, They become the administrators of a mighty trust. What is that trust? It is the foture dignity, the integrity and the usefulness of that party into whose hands the people are willing to confide all the immense Interests of the State, If these duties be not performed with fidelity, if they be not directed by wis~ dom, then a splendid opportunity will be lost to the leadera—Peter B. Sweeny and his ool~ leagues—to stamps perpetuity of succeas upon the democratic party of the State of New York, Supposing the future government of the State thus insured to the party which hag. for so many years been excluded from power, , which has heen compelled to witness the clty government in the hands of commissions created by country votes at Albany, should, not the prime duty of its leaders be to purge the party of corruption, to give it a strength; which would be recognized beyond tt lignlt of the State, toimpart to it a iy COMe patible with all its fae old memorleg which can command respect throughout the country ? ‘All this the leaders have the power to do if they only have the foresight to direct thab power. « ; The democratic party, thus strengthened is its great stronghold, the State of New York, fay 160k hopefully into the future, The leaders may possibly oalculate with som safety upon the coming when the of our gational res! to the, 1d party which had so good a national record FF ilak Soles If the time is not yet ripe for that there is nothing lost in preparing for the time, which is almost sure to come. Just now it may be » distant result, because Gteneral Grant hes got a hold jb genre raly bY it saigtealt of ite personal popularity which cannot be easily shaken in the Presidential contest of 1872. The democratic leaders, however, dating their’ great increase of power from their success in this State, have # fine chance before them te purify the party; to diffuse its influence by the force of éxamplé through the other States, and concentrate its force to give it the strength’ of a giant, and gird ap its loins to enter that struggle for national supremacy which is almost certain to result at @ later time im democratic success unless the golden oppor- tunities of to-day are disregarded and the strength of the party is prematurely wasted.
