We ask for this sublime work of mercy, then, that broad, liberal sup- port which the great city of New York never yet refused tos good and charitable enter- prise. ___—__— The Rock Ahead, Lovers of free government and careful watohers of our institutions havé remarked, with a ouriosity not unmixed with fear, the growth and devolopmeat in our midst of monopolies, corporate and individual. The tendency to centralization is undoubtedly a Product of modern civilization. The develop- ment ef human ingenuity and skill is con- Atantly putting before the community problems “Go gigantic that organized associations of indi~ Niduals are necessary to solve them. And it is no doubt an essential result of the working .of the fundamental laws which underlie all ‘human development that associated effort ‘should take the place of individual enterprise and oarry out the schemes which have proved $00 difficult for it. In union there is strength. This aaylng has been an axiom since 4 ie ‘egrligst times, and Alsop’s fable of tag bande | of sticks is an old and familiar war of putting the long regognize’ truth. Association has PFOVO! itself of infinite value in all depart- ments of human effort, be the result sought for ever so remote, the difficulties in the way ‘ever 80 nsurmouatable. The grand old cathe- rals of the Middle Ages, to se which pil- grima from every land now travel, aro the i of associations bound tozether by a ous feeling—a feeling which in its very ature seeks to fulfil its mission by combined ‘effort. ( + The strength of this fecling andthe results produced by the efforts of bodies of individ- mals bound together by this impulse are daily shown in the many noble charities which aro ‘he pride and glory of our land. Tho laws which govern society have made it ‘absolutely unnecessary for man to rely on his Aellows for aid in the furtheranco of his Mosigns; society itself is nothing but a huge ‘corporation lacorporated according to the laws lof natare, and in which we aro all stock- holders, Its dividends gre peace gnd pros- tperity, proteotion of life and property, and as {surely aa its affairs aro mismanaged just as jeertainly are its profits diminished, If the jlaws under which it is organized are disobeyed ithe punishment is certain and relentless, and Anstead of the resu'ts wo had hoped for we ‘find insecurity, Aistrust and misfortune the ‘Penalties of disobedience. The necessity as well as tho efficiency of association is indis- pputable, This being granted, the next step is {to consider not only the beneficial, but the |poasible and probable evil results of the working of a system of such force. What ‘strength it has is daily shown by the results of {its operations. | The lawmakers of all countries have long jrecognized the mighty power of corporations jand have devised various means of keeping it within bounds, of restricting the possible ‘evil that mizht arli¥é from a wrong use of it, ‘with what rosult the statute books will show. ‘From the statute of ‘‘mortmain” down to tho ‘present day effort after effort has been made, fand for every restriction that has been put jaround them the associations have found a orresponding loophole of escape for the exer- ‘cise of functions that were not contemplated jby the original grantor, and which too often fwork for the disadvantage of the com- ‘munity, How often has the old saying ithat corporations have no souls proved ‘true! How often have mon who indi- jidually are the soul of honor resorted in ‘their corporate capacity as directors to all sorts of jobbery and rascality! Let the secret history of English and American legislation ‘be published, and we shall find many a man '<‘whose word is as good as his bond,” individ- : ally, mixed up withthe most questionable nsactions in his character of manager of me corporation which is organized osten- ibly for the public good. And this is not, haps, the worst feature of it. Legislative emoralization leads inevitably to national fdegradation; itis fligrant violation of the fs laws under which society itself is organ- cab ae y ed, and brings inevitably the evils of national onor and distrust in its train. | Public opinion is to blame in this. A3 a ‘wonsequence, perhaps, of the demoralized con- tion following such conduct as we have indi- yeated, such transactions do not receive the Mblame they daserve. What in the individual uld be little less than downright thieving is lever financiering on the part of a number of ithe members of the very society whose pros- erity depends on upright dealings with cach ther. The very men who are the most eager In panishing individual wrong-doing are the mes who are most prominent in corporate leeds. Good citizens themselves, loving he good name of their country and their State, ey are the ones who have brought scandal mn our courts and disgrace on our Legislatures, ‘have made bribery and corruption familiar to ur land, until a man who ho!ds a public posi- tion is from that very fact alone suspected to je dishonest. This is in itself a giyantic vil. The material prosperity of any couniry, f any community, is in direct ratio to iis pub- lc morality, its reputation for honesty and ‘ood faith, Nothing is more powerful than oney in the present state of society, and as- juming Senator Sprague’s saying, “that noth- g is meaner than one million except two mil- ions,” we can estimate the power for ovil of jodies wielding many millions, and whose force ig in direst proporifon to the capital at eir disposal. Whon a great railroad can, nd moreover docs, control the elections of a owerful State, it becomes an element which jannot and must not be overlooked. It isa fact that the whole nation must take cognizance f. The very fact of its power being recog- ed shows that it has outgrown the control f its local originators, and that it demands @ strong arm of tho central government to jontrol and check its possible, nay, probable vil results, Our corporations seem to have opted Spencer's maxim, that the chief end of wis the greatest happiness for the greatest pumber, but to have adopted Tom Hood's defl- ition of the greatest number to be number e. Seriously, the growth and strength of rporate bodies, and the appropriate means to oop them in their proper channels. is one of = : NEW YURK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET, the many great problems before us as a peo- ple and ono that demands a speedy and cor- reot solution. The Disruption of the Republican Party— The Chances for the Democracy. Without having any decided prejudices in the matter, we must express our convictions that things begin to look rather squally for the republicans. They seem to be in a muddle all over that part of the county whore they have heretofore “ruled the roast exclusively. Dis- sensions have arisen in their ranks even at their very hearthatones. The Hvening Post of this city assails the high tariff or protection wing of the party with the warmth of a decided opponent. The Zribune retorts, and the temper of its replies shows that its high protection editor has not recovered from tho effects of his late disastrous defeat for Con- gress. Senator Sumner, who has been the Jupiter Tonana of the party for so long a time, seems to havo had another attack of ‘‘soften- {ng of the brain,” so far, at least, as the sup- port he extends to the administration is con- cerned. This may be attributed to the treat- ment his friend Ambassador Motley received, or it may be attributed to some other cause, At apy rate it Ig pyident he is not the warm Rivpacter of the admimutration he onco was. py oe ie Conran eee hich lectiond have just bea held ill-temper amounting to rudeness and even to acts of violence have characterized the caucus meet- ings of the republicans. And it is safo to say that the bad feeling there engendered has not been mollified by the results of the election, Now, who is responsible for this disruption in the once powerful republican party? Where does the fuult lie? The party has been in ex- istence about twenty years, and half of that time it has held supreme power in the land. Bya wise _and prudent course it might retain the relns of government for two administra- tions yet to come. But are the leaders wise enough to adopt that course? Where are Cameron, Wilson, Logan, Ben Butler, Banks and all the rest of the board of managers of the republican party? Have they glven up the ghost, or do they hold that the party has gone to the dogs, and that it has not a ghost ofa chance in the Presidential race in 1872? Are they thinking of sacrificing Grant? If they are, and attempt it, they will maké a sad mistake. General Graat has made the best President the republican party could have had. While crushing out corruption wherever he found it existed, and while curtailing the ex- penses of the government and reducing taxa- tion to the lowest limit, he has been the “mildest mannered man” in the world when- ever some pet party projects have come before him for approval or rejection. In the exercise of the veto power he has been especially leni- ent. In short, he has been as serviceable a President for the republican party as that party has been serviceable in its support of his administration. If the party undertakes to overthrow Grant it will inevitably incur irre- parable disaster. Grant himselt will then take a hand in the melée, and the smash up all ronnd will be beantiful—for the democrats—to witness. Let there be oil poured upon the troubled republican waters by the inauguration ofsome bold and striking patriotic measure—a measure that will restore the weak and waver- ing to their fealty—or the republicans may make up their minds for defeat at the next Presidential election, and begin putting their houses in order accordingly. In the meantime what do we find the demo- crats doing? In what sort of battle array do we find them aftef the smoke has cleared away from the fields of November 8? In answer to these questions we refer our readers to a remarkable table published in another column, giving an analysis of the vote at the recent elections, and showing how the Electo- ral Colleges will stand in 1872, provided the States named vote then as they have voted already. It will be seen by this table that in thirty-five States the democrats have one hundred and fifty-four electoral votes, and the republicans one hundred and forty-eight, or six majority for the democrats, with two States (Mississippi and Texas), which will pro- bably be equally balanced, not included. Thus it will be seen that the democrats at this moment have actually—with the big State of New York as a sure rallying point—the inside track fora sweeping triumph at the next Pre- sidential clection—a triumph that cannot pos- sibly be averted except by the restoration of calmness and moderation and wisdom to the counsels of the republican party.

The Russian Note Alarm—A Mission to Bis- marck at Versailles. Lonpon, Nov. 14, 1870. The mission of Odo Russell, the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, to Versailles, is undertaken not by order of the Foreign Ofice, but in consequence of the late Cabinet council. The object of his mission 1s to ascertain the views of Bismarck in relation to the threatening note from Russia, read to Lord Granville on Wednesday by the Russian Ambassa- dor, formally repudiating the obiigations of the treaty of 1856. Mr. Russell, it 13 understood, is instructed to In- form Bismarck that England, Austria and italy will noite to resiat the violation of the treaty by Russia. Fears of a General European War—Twin Dangers of Britain, Lonpox, Nov. 14, 1870. The agitation concerning the Russian designs is on the increase. In the best informed circles it 13 believed that there is imminent danger of a general European war. The Pall Mall Gazette to-night declares the Minis- ters not merely lack tone as to the present crisis, but they lack foresight as to the probable future issue of the complications. Her Majesty's Cabinet appears to exciude the consideration of the exact condition of affairs, and is led away by delusive theories. Two dangers confront England—the Alabama difficulty and the Eastern question. The circumstances that have raised tne latter to a great and immediate importance here made the former more formidable, because of the increasing probability of a coalition. Russia de- ciares her design to grasp Turkey, and Prussia is ready to connive and even to aid her, England is the only Power to whom Turkey can look, and she 1s threatened with annihilation if she lifts her finger. ‘The Russiaa Circular in Vienna.

Opsning of the Fair for the Benofit of the Wounded French Soldiers To-Day. The grand fair for the benefit of the French wounded, which will be opened to-day, promises to be one of the most successful affairs of its kind which have ever been held in this city. The French people have not been alone interested in the getting up of it, but the sympathizers of France of all na- tions, whose name fs legion, have already largely contributed of their money and valuables to guaran- tee it against an unsuccessful wind-up. {t is almost needless to tell anybody who knows anything about, the matter that the fair will be held in the armory of tho Seventy-first regiment, at the junction of Broadway and Sixth avenue, at Thirty-fourth street. For days past those whose laborious fate has doomed them to attend upon the various tables have been busy as bees in preparing for the good time that’s coming for all that kind of charitable folk who have got plenty of money and don’t care whether those bewitching girls who make a man crazy for the sake of a “grab bag” get plenty of it or not, The armory has been decorated in the most tasteful manner. Flags and bunting of all descriptions have been draped about the watls and various emblazoned mottoes have been placed at intervals among the flags to add effect to the general scene, It has been arranged that there will be @ grand con- cert every evening, and the very best of music will be furnished for the occasion. This, as a matter of course, will be @ great trent to all the belles and beaux about town, who make it one of their “love passages ’ whenever they can to pay a fair of some kind a visit for the beneflt of themselves as well as others, who may reap benefit from their charity. It willbe opened by Richard O’Gorman, who 1s to do the oratorical in a way that no French- man will have reason to find fault with, and M. Victor Place, the Consul General of France, will also tell bis countrymen here what his countrymen abroad, struggling for all that is dear to them, stand in need of, Although, owing to the confused state of affairs at the armory yestersday, it could not be definitely as- certained what everything will look like when the Tair will be ready, it 1s settled that there will be thirty-six tables.

There will be an exhibition at the fair of tho making of real thread lace, which will certainly be & novelty to a great many people. Of course, people ‘who want to see this novelty will have to pay for it, for nothing can be had or seen at the fair, asa matter of course, without the treasure Loe a equivalent in the shape of current currency. The fair will certainly be a success. ne The Fair of St. Vincent de Paul’s- Churcky Williamsburg. The grand Fair of St. Vincent de Paul's church, Williamsburg, was inaugurated last evening in the presence of an immense multitude. ‘rhe fair will be continued every evening for a fortnight, and the proceeds will be devoted to the fund set apart for Paying off the debt on the church. Among the va- rious articles of art displayed last evening that at- tracted general attention were lifelike portraits of Father O’Mullane, the pastor, and Father Mathias pt the indefatigable and revered curate of the parish. Fair of the Methodist Epis:opal Ladics’ Union Aid Society, 0” A fair, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Union Ald Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, for the benefit of the “aged and infirm males and females," js now being held at Apollo Hall. Last evening witnessed the opening ceremonies, which consisted merely of singing by the assemblage and prayer by the Rev. Dr. M. D, ©. Crawford, of the Eighteenth street Methodist Episcopal church, There was an immense number of persons present, all of whom seemed to enjoy themselves hugely and tospend their money very freely; and well they might, for all the various tables—about thirty in humber—were laden with articles of the richest hue and texture, Among the most prominent stands in the hall is the one eae up and furnished by St. Luke's church and in charge of irs. W. R. McClees and Mrs. Join Reed, They have here one of the richest and most beautiful Spanish easy chairs ever manufactured, whichy it 13 roposed to present to the pastor of St. Luke's, ev. Dr. Foster. The tablo belonging to St. Paul's church} has also a very handsome chair of the samo description as the above, which they propose to pete to Dr. Ridgaway, their beloved pastor. ‘here 1s in connection with this fair, too, 9 magnitl- cent art gailory (?), which is under the direction of Mr, Charles O} Gnd Mr, Quarles S.

WALLACK's THEATRE.—There waap very large and fashionable andience in Wallack’s taeutre last evens ing, to witness the presentation, for the first time tn seven years, of Holcrofv’s sterling comedy, “the Road to Ruin.” The plece was ex ediugly well cast, and was put upon the stage in splendid style, ‘The chief charm of Wallack’s is that ngne byt first class comedies ure produced, and its standard consy! uMcjent guarantee of excellent actin; Al HON ddahars tatce couipauy were well ue ported by each other on this occasion, and the re- production of the play was a complete success, Lhis opinion is confirmed by the fact that the atiention of the audience was kept enchained trom the open- ing to the closing scene. The play 1s full of touch- ing and humorous tneideuts, and cannot fail to bea great favorite among the comedies that are being produced at this justly popuiar place of Ainuscinent. ‘The “Koad to Rnin’’ will be repeated this evening ang again on Saturday. “John Bull,” “The Serious Family” and ‘The Rivals” are amon: the standard pieces that are now being performer at Wallack’s, while the «school for Scandal’ aud some Lew Comedies are in active preparation. NIBLO's GARDEN.—The “Rapparee,” one of Boucl- cault’s romantic and semi-historical Irish military aramas, was the entertainment at this house last night, first time, and before a large audience. The action of the play takes place among the old castles, clits and woiiritains of the Southwest of Irelapd in the year 1601, and the time chosen begins froit the surrender of the Irish-French army of James the Second to the Anglo-Dutch army of William of Orange.

Soucicault understands thoroughly stage effects, and at Niblo’s they thoroughly under- stand how to bring them out. ‘The “Rapvaree,” of course, will be given this evening, and ull otherwise ordered, Gian» OrEna HoUSE—“LES BRIGANDS.”—We can chronicle a genuine success at this house, at last, in opéra boufe. ‘Les Brigands,”’ one of the latest and livellest of Ofrenbach’s works, was produced for the first time, with all that reckless disregard of ex- pense and embarras de richesse that characterizes Mr. Fisk's enterprises. The libretto 1s singularly free from indelicacy, both in the original and tne ex- cellent English version, and the music has what he termed “go” init, from one end of the opera to the ether. There are some of the happiest conceits of the Franco-German composer to be found in tt, and some of his weakest efforts too. Itis a rollick- ing scene of brigandism, and its concomitants (for which see any story of the Abruzzi), burlesqued in @ gide-splitting manner and interwoven with that sparkling champagne music in which Uifenbach has no equal. Here comes a long disputed question as to the merits of the two leading composers in opéra bou fenbach and Herve. The latter ts pro- bably the better musician of the two—tnat 1s, in all his Works there is a degree of excellence displayed Which would grace the comique or grand opera, But, he bas as much idea of the requirements of opéra boufe as the chairman of a Sixth ward pri- mary has of logarithms, and his “L’(Kll Crevé,” “Chilperic” and “Le Petit Faust’ have and always will prove failures from an abortive effort to unite charming music with ridiculous and trasny ltbretti, Hervé has got a mona mania of writiog his own librerti, and Offen- bach has secured two of the best dramatic writers in France—Messrs. Mellhac and Hatevy—to furnish @ groundwork for his rattling music, The company last night, with the exception of Mile, Montaland, who has neither voice nor style, acquit- tod themnselyes admirably, and Mile, Persini proved herself the most talented op¢éra boufe artist at pres- ent on our boards. The dialogue requires conside- Table cutting to give the sparkle of the musio more efiect. Mr. Oarlo Patti, the leader of the orchestra, and Mr. Cole, who brought out the opera, deserve the nighest praino for the success whic uilénded 1t8 first re) tation. The touse was crowded from parquet todome. We would earnestly recommend @ change from Mile, Montaland to some artist who can sing and act, BOWERY THEATRE.—As the antiquated gentlemen of the present gloat over and rehearse the glories of Ube dramatists and actors of their youthful time, so ‘Will the now frequenters of the Bowery theatre, when grown venerable with age, entertain the next gene- ration with recitals of the achievements of John McUloskey, the success of his dramas and the wealth of dramatic power contatued therein. Last evening another new drama, entitled “The Far est, or the Bounding Fawn of the Prairies,” was produced at this house, and emanating from the dramatist of whose future re- Bown so much is presaged in the previous para- Graph, of course # large attendance of “Old Diury- ites” was had. The play is a dramatization of such @ plot as 1s contained in @ fine story of Western ad- venture, In which there is always a lovable character described (in the story) in uogrammatical language, and a villain, treated, when occasion allows tne author, to severely scornful phrases, During the piece Mrs. vones performed a tripict of parts in a manner which has gained her such a favorable notoriety on the east side, Yhe perform- ance concluded with the drama of ‘Iwo Galley Slaves.” Lina Epwiy’s TakatTre.—Miss Lina Edwin’s bright, cosy little theatre might well have been crowded with spectators at the first representation last evening of Mr. Craven’s very clever three act comedy, “Billiards, or Business Before Pleasure.’ ‘This piece ts full of fun and telling points.

Messrs, Ryan, Jonn and Josh Hart and Miss Kelsey acquitted them- selves with credit of their several parts; so did Johuson and Powers, Master Barry was really funny in his “Dutch Changes.” Mr. J. H. Melburn is an excellent character vocalist. He introduced several English songs, which called forth the mirth and applause of the audience. We must not omit the ballet, in which Mile, Devere took the principal part. There are other attractions, too numerous to meation, which afford much amusement, thus demonstrating that the programme of the entertain- ment is made up With due regard to quality a3 well a Lo quantity, THEATRE COMIQUE.—If upon every other evening the attendance at this theatre be as large as last surely the management have not “drawn upon their imaginations for facts’? in the advertisements of their establishment as the “most popular place in the city;” and if as good a bill be provided for the amusement of its visitors there {s uo wonder that such should be the case. The humors of the ‘negro delineators,” the ballet dancing and the antics of the clown and pantaloon in the concluding panto- mime are such at this variety hall as are impossible to be excelled at any theatre, ¢ven at those ln which each is made a specialty. extravaganza, called “ Paris, or the Apple of Dis- gord,”” was played for the first time last évening at Wood's Museum, by Miss Lydia Thompson's troupe of unbleached blondes, There was a croivded housd togive spirfé to the acting, ana, io judge from the hearty Ste rey with which the numerous palpable hits at the prevailing follies and fools of the day with which the piece abounds, were received everybody who was preseat was heartily pleased with it. Paris,” however, 1s not by any means so good a play as several of its pecuilar kind which have already been made famous by Miss Thompson's troupe. It is very flat in the very parts where it should be the most sprightly, and although the jokes that Lydia and her companions bandy about, almost as fast as they can talk, are, on the whole, quite up to the usu: ndard of the every- day witticlsms which terize “caricature” lays, there are a great many attempts at ‘tunny- Tams? ‘which aro very miserable indeed. Lindley Murray, besides, stands a very poor show in many ortions of the dialogue. he idea of the Lovely nus letting such an expression 98 “Can ti be him’ fall from her pretiy lips is something positively crushing. Miss Thompson made an admirable Paris, aud Harry Beckett was perfectly at home as (none, the shepherdess.

The only States in the ist which have not voted directly are Georgia, which gave fifty thousand majority for Seyinour, and New Hampshire, which gave seven thousand majority for Grant.

The two remaining States not included are Mississippi, with seven electoral votes—which, by reason of the preponderance of the negroes, will probably be carried by the radicals—and Texas, with six electoral votes, which will certainly be given to the democracy. Thus with the States that are now democratic, and Texas added, the democrats have 160 electoral yotes, and the republicans, with Mississippi added, have 155, giving to the democrats @ clear majority of five throughout the country. Ia the list of States in the democratic list which the republicans are likely to carry in a Presidential elec- tion Connecticut is the only one; but the loss of her six votes would be more than counterbalanced by the loss to the republicans of the seven votes of New Jersey, which would certainly be cast for che demo- cratic candidate, MAILS FOR EUROPE.
