Change and progressive development in the political world are as mnch the result of fixed laws as changes in the material world. All really great statesmen recognize this fact and shape their policy accordingly. Tho failure to recognize it has proved more mischievous to nations and more fatal to publio men than any other course. History is full of examples to show the truth of this. One may be men- tioned as particulacly striking to the American people, because it comes home to ail of us, We rofer to the dogged and foolish conserva- tism of the old States’ rights and pro-slavery party of the South. That party lived always in the past, and clung to old ideas, even to the point of rebellion, when these ideas and the system founded on them were undermined by the development and progress of the country aad public opinion. We have seen the couse- quence in a great civil war and in the destruc- tion of both the extreme States’ rights theory and African slavery, which was the corner stone of it. So it is with similar great revolu- tions ia other parts of the world. [t is this Obstinate adhesiou to the past and resistance to progress which is shaking the monarchies and aristocracies of Kurope to their founda- tions, and which has been the cause of many revolutions there duriag the last century. These ovations in the political world, which result from a change in the condition or growth of uations, give rise to new parties or toa moditication of the policy of old ones ; for, as we said, those which do not march with the times become extinct or powerless, In this age, too, we see greater and more rapid changes than were seen in preceding ages. The quickening influence of the modern agents of civilization—of the telegraph, rail- roads, the public press aud the surprising dis- coveries in science and mechanical art—makes one year of the present equal to a century of the past. We are bounding forward with won- derful celerity, ‘he material progress of the age operates powerfully upon political affairs. Hence we see political parties drifting into ap alliance with these new powers of material development. This is more apparent in the United States than elsewhere at present, because we keep up with the times more than any other people, alihough the same effect will be produced in all civilized countries sooaer or later. The railroad iaterests of this country, for example, begin lo exercise a powerful inflg- ence with and through political parties, and in both the national and State legislatures. {n fact, they are nearly supreme. In many cases they are irresistible. The capital in- vested in our railroads approaches the amount of the aational debt, aud the gfoss income from them swells up to hundreds of millions anau- ally. Tne power this vast sum gives, if con- centrated, ia greater thau that of the federal government itself. Talk of the power of the old United States Bank, or even of the exis t- ing national boaks, powerful as they are, that is small in comparison, Then look at the thousands upoa thousands of employes, con- tractors aad agents of these railroads, together with these pecuniarily interested in them, and it will be seen at once what an Influence they have in elections and over legislation, We know, indeed, tuat nearty all the State legis- latuges can be controiled by them, and that they cun do preity much a3 they please with Besides the powee which their eavrmons capital and control over the voters give these railroads there, is perhaps, a ma- jority of the members in both the national Congress.

It is said that A. T. Stewart positively eclined to give a dime towards the success ‘of @ party which bad done 80 much to {interfere with the interests of the merchants wf New York. The secret of this indifference on is that there is really no republican rty in the city, that it bas dwindled into a ere faction, leoking to federal patronage for ita bread of life. While the peliticians of the party are quarrelling among themselves at every meeting, while they decline even to nominate a county ticket, but advise respect- able republicans to vote for the disreputable ‘Young Democracy, how can we expect that the merchants will contribute liberally towards carrying ou the election? legislatures dircctly interested ia egraph system, too, though wielding less expital, and lass powerful, is fast becoming another great power in the land. The maguates who control that, as well as those more influential ones who control the railroads, begin to form an alliance with political parties, The sagacious leaders of these political parties see at the same time the value of such a combination and are work.- ing to effect that. Onr Tammany leaders, with their usual tact, are in advance ia this new movernent. They have captured already the two great lines of railroad which centre at this city--the Erie and New York Central. Jay Gould, Fisk and Vanderbilt find it to their interest to be iu the same boat with Tweed, Sweeny, Hall and the other Tammany magnates, and these latter gladly accept the powertul aid of the railroad kings for political ends. While the republicans are floundering about in un- certainty, having vothiog to look to for the future but the personal popularity of General Grant, aud while they are spending (heir stvength in abuse of Tammany, the democra- tic leaders are quietly grasping a power— the railroad power—which will secure to them the State, with all its spoils, and lay the foundation for a more extended influence. in the republic, Nor will such a combination of railroad chiefs and in- terests with political parties be limited to New York. It will extend throughout the country. But New York being the centre of ra ilroad concentration and wealth, and the two great truak lines of Erie and the Central being already in alliance with the Tammany jeadera bere, the democrats have the best pros- pect of securing this new and mighty power throughout the greater part of the country for their ascendency hereafter. We have the key here to the probable future of political parties in this country, Old issues are worn out. The democrats, always more vigorous than their opponents when they have ® platform to stand upen, had a long lease of power up to the split in 1860 and election of Lincoln. The States rights doctrine, which received ita vitality from slavery in the South, was their platform up to 1860. But the war swept that away. ‘The revolution was com- plete. With the extinction of slavery and tha amendments to the constitution it is impossi- ble to g> back to the past. The republicans, however, have in their partisan zeal and cea- tralizing theories carried the revolution to a limit distasteful to the American people. They have used up the negro issue, the war feeling, and every other available political resource, and know not where to stop now in their revo- lutionary tendencies, Had it not been for the issues of the war and the personal popularity of Genera! Grant they would hardly have maintained their power so long. It is possi- ble General Grant may carry the party through the next Presidential election; but, jadging from gl the signs of the times, that will Re the end of it. The democratic party, learning wisdom from tho past and modifying its policy to acoomplished facts and the exigencies of tho times, has a future before it. Using the new powers of tho age we have referred to, and standing upon a conservative platform, s0 28 to arrest the revolutionary tendencies of the republicans and preserve the harmony of local State governmont with federal authority, tho democrats may again attain the ascendancy and have another Tong lease of power, Tho Situntion in France. The war news this morning is interesting and important. Several new military move- ments of some significance are recorded. There is oo confirmation yet of Marshal Bazaine's successful sortie from Metz with all bis army. The rumors of a revolution in that beleaguered city and the assassination of the Murshal prove to be uafonaded, as we predicted. The pre- vious announcement that the Prussians were advancing on Amfens is reiterated, and in this coanection it is stated that Bourbaki with his army of twenty thousand men is hastening thither to reinforce the garrison. The French Minister of War at Tours had received despatches from Paris to the 18th inst., representing that frequent ser- ties from the capital continued to be made, and that ibe. Prussians were suffering considerably from the loss of life and from the exposure attending the constant vigilance rendered necessary by the sorties. Large reinferce- ments of French troops were pouring into Tours from the South. The authorities were makiog extensive preparations to defend the new seat of government, and in view of the alternative of a protracted slege the citizens of Tours were warned to provide themselves with a plentiful supply of the necessaries of life. The latest intelligence from the theatre of active operations is to the effect that there was serious fighting near Paris on Mriday last. Constant cannonading was heard all day in that direction, and the inter- enoe from the course the sound was travelling with increasing clearness was thats great battle was in progress, and the Prussians were retreating and the French pursuing. There was fighting on the same day in the vicinity of Fontainebleau. Our de- spatches also state that during all that day a battle was progressing in the Vosges, and the French made several gallant bayonet charges. An important action is reported in the forest of Harcourt, where an attack by the Prussians was repulsed, although the French loss was comparatively serious, and the Freach commander was among the wounded. No de- tails of these several engagements are giveo, but the tenor of our desputches is that the Freach were generally successful. A sortie of twenty-five thousand men from Paris, on the {6th inst., had resulted in a victory for the reach, Major General von Freschkon, wide- de-camp to the King of Pruseia, was killed in the engagement. The Prussians in the pro- vinces were still commitiing great excesses. In Orleans they appropriated to themselves all the clothing in the ‘stores and all the wine ia the collars, Yhe situation as it existed in Puris a few days since is fully given in one columus this morning by special cable telegram report, with a variety of interesticg matter besides. The sieged cily was agitated and alarmed. Peace was desired by the people, but the idea had aot axsimed a shape for expression. The balloon mail which was despatched by Minister Gambetta, and which went off amid such a seene of animated excitsment, was supposed to have reference to this im- portant subject. In truth, the air was filled with rumors of peace. Minister Washburne, General Burnside aud General Sheridan were apparently very active. There was secrecy, mystery, and yet hope. General Sheridan had an interview with King William and’ Bis- marck, The King’s remarks, which we pttb- lish to-day, are of great importance. The bluff old ruler of Prussia is disposed to be just, and will, likely, make a peace if any equitable terms are offered by the French, A Drorngsp Svcogss—The experiment of coolie ‘abor on our Southern plantations, Tae Sovra Carouwa Distcenancns.— Further advices from South Carolina indicate that the riot in Laurens county was the result of political differences, although the telegraph would impress a different belief. It appears that the State constables were endeavoring to execute the laws, when they were resisted by the mob and eight officers killed. Governor Scott has asked that United States troops be despatched to the scene of the disturbances ; but in case his request cannot be granted he will send the white militia, who are onder arms in Columbia, The Governor, evidently, is determined to give the malcontents no cause for another outbreak, and to avoid further cole lision he sends only white troops 19 suis the authorities ia restoring order, Tae ISpEPENDENE lox Move emeny.—The movement for the relief of the public from the extortion of the ice monopolists next summer has fairly commenced by the establish- ment of a company to be called “The People’s Ice Company,” with a gapital of half a milliex, This is taking time and the frost by the fore- lock. Whatever is done in the way of fore- stalling the cunning monopoly which was auch asevere oppression to the people during the past summer should be done at ence. The days of the ice harvest are not far distant. The projectors of any scheme to gather in a crop sufficient to keep down the price of ice and render us comparatively independent of the organized monopoly must, therefore, com- plete their arrangements without delay. We trust, however, that this oew enterprise will not turn out like so many other organizations of a similar kind which are ostensibly gotten up for the benefit of the people and very soon either Japse into the monopolies they were established to centend with or become more extortionate monopolies themselves, We have had some experience of this kind in inde-~ pondent gas companies, and so forth, PLors AND Counter ovs,-—There were grave apprehensions recently of a plot among the roughs of the city to carry our approaching elections by violence. There are now rumors and charges afloat of a plot on the other side to carry the day by the bayonet, All parties concerned are evidently on the gyi vive, and so thero is a prospect of an honest election, Chureh Services Yeaterday. Ono of the results of the late Unitarian Con- ference has been to develop a marked differ- ence of opinion on the great subject of religious faith among those who claim to be Unitarlans. Yesterday Mr. Frothingham, at Lyric Hall, delivered an extraordinary sermon, which was really an attack upon the Conference. He declared that he was a radical Unitarian; that he did not honor the God of Abrabam, Isaac and Jacob; ia fact, he had—and so had all radicals—a little God of his own. The radicals’ God was the loveliest dream of the human soul. Thus, with a com- plete ignoring of the God worshipped by Christians and a patronizing reference to Christ, this reverend preacher of the doctrines of general convenience spent an hour or so, But if Mr. Frothingham was displeased with the proceedings of the Confer- ence, and cold stow away his religious doc- trines ‘in the small end of nothing” und leave ainple room for # great deal of material, Mr. Hepworth, of the Church of the Messiah, was ina happier frame of mind. He spoke with pride of the Conference as having performed its labors acceptably and well, Growing enthusiastic, he declared that ‘‘a quarter of the good people of this city, whether they know it or not, are essentially Unitarian.” As a religious fact this assertion may be ques- tioned ; as a secular fact it is undeniable that a great many people in this city are ‘‘easen- tially Unitarian ;” for, to use a vulgarism; their devotion to ‘‘unmber one” is notorious, However, the reader may judge from the two sermons referred to what the spirit of our Uni- tarian congregations is. Brother Beecher was scarcely as happy in his sermon as he was last week, although the subject was a religious one. He spoke on “The Sanctification of Suffering and the Phi- losophy of Pain,” and said, among other things, that “pain is the concomitant of the attempt to enlarge our being,” and he would have added to contract it also, had he ever philosophically endured the agony of a tight shoe. In fact, while Brother Beecher'’s con- clusions were admirable and full of sound religious doctrines his philosophical ar- gument was not as good asit might have been, At the New England Congregational church Rev. Merrill Richardson, who is described as a formidable rival of Brother Beecher, even to flowers on his pulpit, preached on the subject of ‘‘The Supply and Demand in the Kingdom of Grace,” in which he was particularly eloquent. Atithe St. John’s Methodist church Rev. Mr. Ferris denounced corruption among politicians, and mournfally affirmed that in éne bundred years of national life we had not had one Pre- sident who was a professed follower of Christ, after which the reverend gentleman closed with a melanoholy picture of our condition. At the Madison square Presbyterian church Or. Adama assured his congregation that fhe Bible is the true exposilor of God’s will, and at the Holy Trinity church Bishop Clarke discoursed on death and life. Rev. Charles B, Smyth, at the American Free Charch, preached on the love of God toward mankind, while Rev. John Rogers pitched into the Church of Rome, the beast, the horas and everything else included. Al the other churches the sermons wera of the usval quality, and at all the places of worship the attendance was good. Indeed, a eurefal perusal of our religious reports will eonvin+e the reader that much was done yex- terday to promote the cause of Christianity and confound the devil and all his works. Ne Militury Coerctoa. All the talk and excitement about the arvi- val in this cily of United States troops tor the purpose of exercising an influence upon the election turns out to be mere political sensa- tional canards got up for party buncombe. Upon inquiry it is found from the statement of the military authorities in this district that not a single soldier has been added to the garri- sons at Fort Columbus, Fort Hamilton, Fort Wadsworth or Fort Wood, the four military posts around the city, and, moreover, that in all these garrisons there is not more thau the usual quota of about six hundred men at the present time. The Adjutant General says that there is no intention on the part of the government to increase this force by sending additional troops here at election time, and that if the aid of the soldiers were required for the purpose ef enforcing the Election law of Congress not more than about four hun- dred men could be used for that purpos¢. All this alarm, therefore, about the people being overridden by horse, foot and artillery on election day by an administration coup d'état, as far as present facts exist, is mere bosh. Voters can cast their ballots as peaceably as ever. Repeating and other fraudulent voting will, of course, be prevented wherever the legal authorities can detect the violaters of the law. {tis the interest of the dominant party to give us an orderly election, and the leaders will, no doubt, take care, to the best of their capacity, that the presence of @ soldier at the polls will be entirely unnecessary now as heretofore, Inprans Auovr.—It is feared that Jimmy O’Brien has been captured by the Indians, A Goon Inga,—It has been ‘suggested that as the Park Commissioners are energetically at work in the business of improving our public parks, the occasion be taken to construct ou the Battery a convenient building or build- ings for the convenience of our amateur rowing clubs. A rendezvous of this kind would enable our citizens to witness trials of skill between our young men on a summer's evening, and tend to encourage this healthful amusement. Moreover, it would contribute largely to help the reconstruction of the lovely old Battery and its permanent resumption as the most de- lightful of all down town places of public resort and recreation, The suggestion is well worthy of being entertained by our enterpris- ing Beard of Park Commissioners. A THaratrnss Fromion. —-It appears that the New York Ledger is vesponsible for the impression created in England that Senator Morton's appointment in the place of Minister Motley means war with John Bull on the Alabama claims as the policy of General Grant. But England need not be frightened ; for, in the first place, the Ledger story is of that harmless class of corn cob fictions that belong to the school of Prester John; and, in the second place, it is understood that Senator > Morten is aot going to Kogland The “Eastern Rito” of Bathing. Tho Torkish bath seems at last to have fairly natoralived itself among na, and upon another page we give an interesting account of the principal establishments devoted to its mysteries aow existing in New York. It will be noticed that similar institutions have been or are being introduced ia Boston, Philadelphia aod Chicago, while San Fran- Persoval Abuse tn the Political Thera appears to be no abatement of malignant spirit in which the paiga is conducted. Tho secreté of pia priyate a8 well sé his pub life will be dragged forth for exhibition cisco, with the large ideas that appear to characterize the Pacific slope, is geiag to erect a “hamam” handsomer and more luxu- rious than even the finest efforts in this diree~ tion of Mahmond the Conqueror or Solyiman the Magnificent, ns have apparently found ont that sant thing to be parboiled within an inch of one’s lite, and then brought back to the ordinary world by the dexterous aad greasy bands of the shampover. Viewed from soother standpoint-—as a means of re- viving or preserving health—-there can be lit- tle doubt that the heated air bath is a good thing. It is endorsed, when used in modera- ifon, by most physicians, whether of the regular of eclectic school, and the almost universal immunity enjoyed by Tarks from dyspepsia, gout, rheumatism and all diseases that spring chiefly from impaired activity of the skin, speaks volumes in its favor. So, whether it be regarded as a luxury or a hygienic agent, the ‘‘humam” is wortby of the place it has slowly struggled into occupying. But it would be a curious thing if the heated air bath should take the same place among us that it filla in the Orient. There, we are told, it serves not only as a sacred temple of per- sonal purification, but also as a sort of ren- dezvous for social and political intercourse. The Sultan and his Vizier, the Pacha and his Prime Minister, while being stewed into skin deep cleanliness, manage to transact no small share of their official business, thus relievis the mind of the cares of State and cleansing the body of its film of accumulated dirt at one and the sume time. Suppose something like that should come to pags here! The Hon. Peter Bismarck Sweeny, we are informed, is one of the regular frequenters of Dr, Augell’s bath. Imagine an importuuate office-seeker, after waiting vainiy in the antechamber of the great man’s office, dogging him to the “human!” There, sitting in a common cham- ber, both alike subjected to the same genial warmth, and both alike attired in the simple dress of nature, modified merely by a decent linen fig leaf, the suitor might, indeed, hope, with some show of success, to carry his point, And looking at the “hunam” as an estab- lished fact among us, we cannot he!p wonder- ing what new-fangled notion in the way of baths we shall next assimilate to oar social institutions. Kurope abounds with fancies of the kind that we have yet to adopt, There is the mud bath, for instance—ao doubt if in- troduced on a grand scule that would pay handsomely, Then, again, there are all the varieties of mineral baths—hot and coid, and with fluctuating proportions of iodine, iron, potassium avd sulphur—-each, and all of them might be found a lucrative speculstion. Per- haps even the magnetic bath of Mesmer, though that is now pretty well exploded, might meet with abundant patronage. But we can only guess at the future. For the present we ean contentedly congratulate oursolves that a new, pleasant and efficacious meang of enabling us to live in a pure and healthy body bas success- fully established itself t bel our maidst, Butorer’s Meav IN Parts has become so precious that no one person is allowed to buy more than one quarter of a pound per day. We suppose this means a quarter of a pound to each person of the population; and even at this rate the two millions of consumers of Paris will eat up from six to seven hundred cattle per day; and Parig has 0 grass and no forage for her cattle, 80 that they must be nearly used up. What, then? Paris in peace is not like New York, a great seaside depot in which provisions of all lands are accumulated for exportation, but is an inlané city which lives from day to day on its supplies from the iuterior. With this siege, therefore, Paris, with all that could be done for them, was poorly provided for the subsistence beyond a month or twe of its two millions of consumers. Before many days, therefore, we may look for peace or a desperate sortie by.Tyochu for the deliverance of the sity. Tar Nusson Coxozrrs. =the first of the second series of the Nilsson cencerts at Stein- way Hall will be given this evening. Lovers of delicious music from thé ehoicest singers and instrumentalists, especially those devotees of Orpheus and the syrans, and of the fashions, who have not yet attended any one of these concerts, bave here an oppertunity for an evening’s enjoyment to be remembered for a lifetime. The troupe without Miss Nilsson is a superb combination ; but with the enchanting Nilsson it is ® broech of brilligats encircling the Koh-i-noer. New York may still be given the rare attractions of the fair young Swede in opera ; but this is uncertain, particularly as it appears that the whole term of her engage ment may be as satisfactorily to the manager dovated to these delightful concerts, A Neat Tua vor rae PaRsons.—A cor respondent suggests that the preachers of the different denominations in eur city churches should all select one text for their sermons on 4 particular Sunday and give their views thereupon. This is not a bad idea. As the HeERAco furnishes the public an excellent re- port of all that the preachers say in the pul- pit, every Monday morning, the whole com- munity would know how the different preach- ers looked at one extract from the Scriptures from their various points of observation and interpretation, and thus afford a correct idea of the beautifal inharmoniousness of Christian creeds, It would be like putting a crowd of people in a room and starting them all to sing each one a song for himself. We can imagine the effect in beth cases, theological and musical! If the snggestion should be adopted the religious columus of the HeEraup some Monday morning would be intensely funny, as well as they ace now interesting and instructive. Tus Am“eivans IN Pais who preferred to | remain there to enjoy the fun and noveltics of the siege have had enough of it and are anxious to get out. They are finding the nov- elty of short rations too expensive, and that Paris, cut off from the outside world, is a humbug show of figures from the Comptroller's depart~ hold up to criticism if not to condemnation! ft would seem as though the party yomes had formed a league together with the obj of abusing every candidate on the respectivd tickets, from Governor td Coroner, We mu: give them the credit for doing eo to the full extent of their ability to vituperg: dalize the dandidates, one and all, one ~ But a more serious feature of this al busive crusade is the charge sgainst public ofotalg of a very important character, auch as defaly cations ip the city finantes—p yory grave gusation, indeed, against the Comptroller, I soeins strange that occasion should arise for x charge like this, or that a @eficiency were pos sible ia so important @ department of the city government under its present management; That the charge should be made at all, from # source entitled to some consideration, evem under the impulse of political excitement ané the heat of election times, is reason enough’ why the accusation should be answered by a ment, If there is no truth in the allegation’ that there is a deficit of somé millions in the! finances it can very easily be set aside by w black and white statement of the conait ot the city funds, ‘The attacks upoh Wedel Woo Seared thé democratic organs are equally to be con, demned. They can only serve to strength him in the opinion of his own party, and gal him a good many more votes in the State.4 ‘here is more bitterness exhibited in this cam- Paign than we have seen for many years, and there never was less necossity for it, because the snccess of the democratic party in tha State is assured, and no personal abuse of the candidates or public officials can change the issue. Twenty Years oy Woman's Riants Aare vattIoN.—The twentieth anniversary of the day when woman suffrage began to be agitated has been duly observed in Apollo Hall, The historical sketch of the movement, which waa read by Mrs. Davis, who presided over the meeting, must have satisfied the most extrava- gant advocates of woman's rights that, however much may remain to be accomplished, grati- fying progress has been made during the past twenty years. A growing disposition is mani- fested by the public to open to women multi-- plied avenues to employment, to admit them ta the pursuit of the learned professions and to concede their claims to being equally well paid as men for work equally well done. Now that this is unquestionably the case, and women are even elected to office and nomi- uated, like.Mrs. Stanton, for Congress, we may venture to protest against Mrs. Stanton’s violent denunciations of marriage as a system of slavery, and against Miss Anthony's terribla threats of making a final resort to the sword. Even if the white-coated philosopher who edits the Tribune persists in opposing woman suf. frage that is not a sufficient reason for trying to scare everybody by such denuntiations aad threats, Soura CanoLina Ravtioars appear to have been studying New York political tactics, as at the Last election they fairly rivalled our city roughs as repeaters.
