Berlia has been made a pivot on whic. the affuirs of the Old World now revolve, aad from Berlin we must look to Paris, (o St. Petersburg and to Constantinople presume to forecast the coming situation of Old Werld affairs on 9 reasonable basis of accuracy, { eae Senor Romero on the Mextcad Hrbe GA2o: .Seflor Romero, the S-er-tary of the Treastiry: of the Mexican rapublic, has spoken freely add with considerable good sense on the subject of the abolition of ths frex zone. Among the many prominent politicians of Mexico Sefior Romero stands in the foremost rank, His opposivien, therefore, to the continuance of the Zona Libre, which ‘he Mexican Congress has, by a vote of eighty-five to thirty-seven, decided not only to continue but to extend, is an evidence not only of his patriotism but also of his foresight. Tho reason given by some of the Mexican lexislators for the con- tinuance and extension of the zone, which thoughtful Mexicans regard as an injury rather than an advantaze to the States within the jurisdiction of which the free zone extends, “{s an expression of defitnce to the United States. Why, this is sim)ly the madness of egoilsm and the blindness of conceit— | not reason! There is no rsagon whatever in it. The United States entertaia none but the most friendly feslings for Mox'co, and why the Mexicans desir» to offer the peopl» of this country defiance it is hard to tell, Io the con- tinuation of the free go1e this country is interested if by its continuance citizens living on the border are injured by it. That smag- glinz is carried on to the detriment of bonor- able dealers living on the American shie of the Rio Grande is conceded on both sides. Those citizens will have to be protected in their rights. Tue United Siates government does not desire to interfere with the internal man- agement of M-xican affiira, and that every sensible Mexican well knows; but it mnst and will protect iis own citizons, and if the pur- suance of such course gives offence to those who advocate the fr+e zone, as a defiance to the Yankee government, be it so. Sefor Romero’s speech is a timely and wise r:mon- strance, and ag the bill has not yet been signed by President Juarez, who is also an opponent of this protective smug:Jing scheme, we hope that wiser counsels will prevail and that Mexican legisla‘ors will adopt some more stateamanlike arzum-nt to guide them in their legislation than seeking by defiance the ill will of anation which ardently aad sincerely wishes peace and prosperity to Moxico, Emigrant Swindlag~’ New Dodge. Swindling emigrants appears to have become a science, “The old diys of baggage smash- ing have departed. Thanks to tae excellent system adopted at Casile Garden there is little chance left for the swindlers to cheat tie emi- grants while under the protestion of the Emi- grant Commission. Tuerefore the swindlers have changed their ground. The last trick, it Appears, is to post themseives apon the rail- road cars and, under the guise of officials of the railroad company and State detectives, to levy blackmail upoa the poor emigrants. ‘Those fellows demand to see the tickets of the passengers and, pronouacins them irregular, demand an extra pric of two or three dol- lars from the emigrant, upon the threat of destroying the tickets if their demands are not complied with. Nevd we say that the poor stranger, travelling in a strange land, is will- ing to sacrifico anything rather than lose the fickets which are the passport to his destina- tion in the far West? An example is likely to be made of these heartless scoundrels, for the detectives, having got track of their practicos, laid a trap for two of them on the Hudson River road, and caught them in the very act of robbing the passengers by the above process, They were taken off the cars and are now in custody. We hope that these fellows will be severely punished. The Castle Garden authorities should look after this matter, for, although they had done their duty to the emigrants after they were provided with genuine tickets—all paid up—and started for their destination, it seems that this fraud was committed within the precincts of the city before the train reached Thirty-sixth street. We owe every protection to the emigrants who trust them- selves to our laws and our bumanity for kind treatment on their arrival here. Tur LuxemBoura Question Agarn.—By a special cable despatch to the HzRaLp we have inteliigence to the effect that Prussia contem- plates the annexition of Luxembourg. It is said that the section of France which Prussia intends shall henceforward belong to Germany wiil be insecure or useless wilhout Luxem- bourg. It is believed that Great Britaia will not go to war on that issue. We are not dis- posed to regard this piece of news as other than a mere rumor. Prussia has eneugh on her hands, She is too anxious to have this war off her hands to be willing to burden her- self with any new diMiculty. Did we think there was any truth in the report we should say, Why helt at Luxembourg? Why not gobble up Belgium, Holland, Denmark? Why not Germanize Switzerland and wipe out the Danish monarchy as was wiped out in 1866 the kingdom of Hanover? Prussia must now have a seaboard; but, ardently as seaboard is desired, let us not be led into the belief that Count Bismarck is a fool. If the Luxem- bourgers desire annexation to Germany, well and good. If they don’t, Prussia will not now attempt coercion. Tue Minirs’ Strike IN PENNSYLVANIA— Will not some advising angel consult with the coal miners on their present strike in Penn- sylvania? They have taken a bad time to do a bad thing. The price of coal in this market—say summer prices, or six and a half doliars a ton—for family use is as low as it can bo expected to be purchased in the Eastern markets, and those markets are well supplied. Therefore, may it not be asked whether the minera are wise in their present strike? We want all workin:men and laborers to have fair show in the regular business movements of the day, and will stand by them in their efforts to attain legitimate aims. In that spirit we advise the Pennslyvania coal miners to go to work and keep at it until a more pro- propitious season arrives for them to make a demonstration, NEW YORK BHRALD, FRIDAY, Esypt. Some days ago we learned that the Khedive of Egypt had resolved to put his fleet, which is highly respectable, at least in appearance, at the service of the Sulan in the event of war breaking out between the Sublime Porte and the covernment of Russia, Now we lesrn that the Khedive has resolved to place at the disposal of the Sultan one hundred thousand mev, armed with breech-loaders, ‘This looks very well on paper; but the fact is that E-yat ig in no tit condition to go to war in any shape or iorm or on any Mids, The conditioa of the Egyptian peepte ia pitiatTs, Zhe Vice- roy hag. well nigh desiroyed ih spirit of his) people. The fellas, or children of tha soil, are the most miserablo people on the face of the earth, In a land where the soil is pro- ductive beyond any soil under the sun the people starve, and grinding taxition makes them homeless. Iu some parts of the country the villages are deserted, und for the reasoa that they canuot pay taxes and fear stripes and imprisoament. A miserable imitator of Napoleon, the Khedive builds opera housvs, theatres, circuses, multiplies his harems, squauders millions upon his concubines; but rottenness reigns all around Lleesing to the poor Egyptians when some | European revolution shall make an end of the | reiga of Isna'l Pacha. Hehas banished every member of his father's family from the land, He tias made himself the richest man in the | world. Is is the one irr. sponsible raler—tie one ubsoluto monarch on the confines of civiliz,tion, The Suez Canal will make his reignmemoralje. But, unless we greatly mia- take, he will be the last Mohammedan ruler of the land o! the Pharaohs, His hundred thousand men armed with breech-loaders do not amount to much, Egypt is the highway by which the civilization of the West seeksthe East; but the government of Ismail Pacha, with his sham Parliament, is an obstruction. Taz Grearest Sr. Dommnco Dirricurry IN THE Senate is said to be Mr. Sumuer’s Committees on Foreizn Relations, The ma- jority of the commi.tee is with Mr. Sumner agaiast the S!, Domingo scheme, To get over this cbstruction it is reported that the sup- porters of General Grant in the Senate in this | scheme have made a move to take off Mr. Patterson, of N.w Hampshire (a Sumner man), irom the committee, aad to put Mr. Conkling, of New York (a Grant man), in his place; and a considerable fuss is said to have fol- lowed the proposition in caucus, But there is no necessity for any change in the eomposi- tioa of Mr. Sumner’s committee on this subject in order to carry the measure, Let the com- mittve be instructed to report yea or nay, and the Senate can pass the bill looking to annexa- tioa all the same, The Senate has ooly to apply the ser-w and the thing can be done, Jupar Dow.ine, when he remanded the monster Evans to the Tombs under fifty thousand dollars bail the other day, remarked that he would like to see a policeman sta- tioned ip front of all such shops as that bogns pysician conducted to inform people about entering of the character of the places. No doubt the unfortunats people who seek relief at the haads of the demons who conduct these plices do so wilfully, with the full intention of securing their illicit object; but it is equally true that few of them comprehend the mur- derous risk they run, or know that thes @prac- titioners ar2 mere uneducated quacks, more apt (o kill than cure. If policemen were sta- tioned there to warn them that they would cer.ainly be fleeced, and probably stand a fair chance of being murdered, donbtless the patronage these vampires now erjoy would be sensibly reduced. Aw ImpupENT Proposition.—At the meet- ing of the Board of Public Parks on Wednes- day a person more gifted with greed than modesty made a formal proposition for per- mission to run an elevated railroad through the Grand Park. Just think of a railroad for purposes of public traffic running through a pleasure ground devoted to the reposo of the citizens and the cultivation of all that is beautiful in art! One spot at least should be left undefiled, and that is the Central Park—the public paradise of the metropolis. Very properly the Park Commissioners, on motion of Mr. Robert J. Dillon, rejected this ill-timed proposition. Personal Intelligence. Major C. H. Blackburn, District Attorney of Cin- cinnatt, {s sojourning at the Metropolitan Hotel. Miss Auna E.

Opening the Way to the Resump- 4o tm tioa of Specie Payments. Dike ee WF WOaIMATIONS S2TE T) Tae BURATE, ee Punishineat of the Colored Cade 5 ae Wasuinaton, Dec. 8, 1870, Republican Senatorial Caucus—A Breeze Over the San Domingo Treaty. According to all reports there was quite an excite. | ing scene ta che republican Senaterial caucus (his It will be a | moraing. It appears that Senator Chandier, who was chairman of the special cominittee appoiuted ata previous caucus Lo revise the standing commit tees of the Senate, made an arrangement by which it was intended that Senator Paterson, of New Hainpsiire, was to be removed from the Committee on Foreign Relations and Sevator Conkling, ef New York, appointed tn his place. The object of this change was obvious to every member of the caucus. Last winter, When the St, Domingo treaty was be- fore the Gommmitiee ou Foreign Relations, Senator Paverson was vue of those who opposed it. He had, 80 LO speak, the casting vote. It Is staled by the Opponents ol the treaty that the object of senator Chanaler li reporting the proposed change was to secure @ majority of one in this committee in favor of tue treaty. Chandler disclaimed any such futention, aud says that he made the change because Senator Patterson was to be appointed olairman of the Committee on the Dis- tit of Columbia, and that he did not think Patter. son would Want a place on tie Foreign Kelations Committee, ‘The dise :ssion in the caucas, however, elicited ihe fact that Patterson had not been con- suited in the matter. Mr. Sumner, who is chair- man of the committee, scems to have been cognizant of what was going on. In fact, it would appear Uhat some of the opponents of the Sau Domingo treaty posted Sumner on the subject last evening. AS 4 matter of course he was propared for what iranspired in the cau-us tils morning. When Sena. tor Cuaadler submitted lis report Senator Sumner imimedistely arose and characterized the intended change iu the committee as something extraordl- nary. He thought that, asa matter of courtesy to Dim as chairman of the comuilitee, he shouid have been consulted before any change were proposed. The committce as at present coustituted was very acceptable to him, and while he had no op- jection to Mr Conkling ho thought at his duty to oppose the removal of Mr. Patterson, especially when he understood that the latter gentieman destied to remain a member of the committee, Mr, Chandler denied any latention of interferiug with Mr, Sumner or the members of hts comnaittee, He had placed Mr. Conkling on that commi'tee because Mr, Patierson had been assigaed the chalrmauslup of one of the most important com- mnitte.s of ine Senate, Mr, Wilson, who may be termed the peacemaker of the republican party, seeing that trouble Bs auead, aror@anc counselled harmouy. In has capacity of mediator he managed to take the sido of his colleague, Mr. Sumner.

It seems to be the general impression that the result of this cancus to-day 14 a severe blow to the prospects of the ratification of the St, Domingo treaty at thia session, The Foreiga Relations Com- mittee, as at present const.tuted, is decidedly against it, and the triumph of Mr. Sumner to-day indicates that he has still majority of the repubiican Sena- tors with him in bis opposition to the treaty. This republican majority, with the democratic Senators Who are opposed to the acquisition of St. Domingo, 1s considered sufficiently strong to deseat the mea- sure whenever it may be introduced, Declive of American Commerce. The select Committce on the Decline of American Commerce, of which Representative Lynch is chair- man, will hold their first meeting this session to- morrow. The entire subject, as heretofore referred, 18 BUll before them, and a report will be maae at an carly day. AS usual, 80 much of the President's Message as relates to that matter was referred to the Committee on Commerce, this being a standing committee, not, however, involving any conflict with the subjects nefore the spectal committee, Opening the Way to Specie Payments. A proposition has been made in the Committee on Banking and Currency to bring in a bill providing that one-tenth of the receipts for import duties shall be paid in greenbacks Instead of in gold. The ob- Ject of this 18 to appreciate the value of the legal tenders and to open the road fora return to specie payments, The proposition is understood to have originated with the Secretary of the Treasury, and is also endorsed by the Comptroller of the Cur- rency and other prominent ‘reasury ofMicials, It does not meet the approbation of a majority of the committee on banking and currency, and ic 1s not believed that it cancommand suilicient support to secure its passage in the House, Redemption of Three Per Cent Certificntes. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury to-day gave orders to the Assistant Treasurer at New York to notify the holders of three per cent temporary loan certia- cates, issued under the acts of 24 March, 1867, and 25th July, 1868, that all such certificates bearing date 15th October, 1567, of the denomination of $500 each, between the numbers 249 and 356, inclusive, and of the denomination of $1,000 each be- tween tao numbers 193 ahd 850, fa. clusive, will be paid on presentation at his oflice; and that from and after sist of January, 1871, such certificates will cease to bear interest, and will be no longer available a6 a portion of the lawful money reserve in the possession of any na- tional banking association. The aggregate amount of the certificates described {a $2,000,000, making the total amount advertised thus far $4,000,000, Minister Washburne’s Correspondence. In reply toa resolution of the, Senate calling for all the correspoudepce between thy United States Minister at Paris dnd the Secretary of State trom the breaking out of the war between France and Prus- sia, the President to-day informed the Senate that all the desired correspondence was communicated with other diplomatic correspondence accompany- ing the President’s Message cn the 6th inst. Operations of the Whiskey Ring. The internal Revenue Bureau ts anticipating an earnest report on the part of distillers to have the law requiring them to use meters abolished, Itisa well known fact that during the recent election campaign in the West certain repubiican candidates for Congress appealed to the Commissioner of luter- ternal Revenue not to enforce the regulation re- quiring meters to be attached to distilleries within ninety days. The Commissioner, think- ing, perhaps, more time was needed, ex- tended it, but this was not satisfactory. The metre itself was the objection, and some went so far as to say that the whiskey ring would defeat their election unless the obnoxious order was rescinded altogether. Now the subject ts likely to be revived in Congress by the introduction of a bill abolishing the use of metres, and tnis under éhe pledge made to those who are so fortunate as to be members of the present Congréss and members elect of the noxt.

Smith, having been reporced for sub- mitung an explanation containing disrespecttul re- flections on the conduct of the reporting oMcer who reported him for au offence of the 28th wt, will be confined to the area of the cadet barracks until the Ist day of February next, that he may be better impressed with the importance of era to the regulations of the Military Academy while he Ia there, The order designating his punishment is accom- panied with the following:— Cadet Smith has been at the Academy long enough to know how to optain redress for a grievance, and had se a tae proper course the matter would aye been promptly investigated and no} Djustice jone him. * It would appear that the colored cadet has not wholly made up his mind to live in subordination to the discipiine of the Academy, and doubtless pre- sumes upon his complexion and status for certain immunities, Jt is nevertheless a fact that he 1s los- ing the sympathy ef many who were disposed to be- friend him, believing that he would have dimculties to contend with not known to the Caucasian ele- ment in that institution, The Consul to Roumania. B. F, Peixotte, Consul to Roumania, in company with Recorder Wolt, of this city, called on the Presl- dent yesterday, Mr. Peixotte is on his way to Bucharest, and expressed his pleasure and grati- tude for the appointment. The President re- ceived the gentlemen very kindly, and ex- pressed his wishes for the success of their mission of humanity, Mr. Fish, who also takes great interest in this mission, was called upon by these gentlemen last week, and he also expressed his desire for the success of the mission. Senators Sumner, Williams, Cole, Stewart, Schurz and othera have been active in their sympathy for this mission. Mr. Pelxotte will sail on the 4th instant in the Abyssinia, He haa lectured in San Francisco, Chi- cago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Baltimore anda Phila- delphia, and spoke here last night before a large audience in the synagogue. ‘The President has addressed the following letter to Mr. Peixotte:— EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. Prt Dec, 8, 1870, ‘The bearer of this letter, Mr. B. F. Peixotte, who has accepted the tec though unremunerative position of United States Consul to Koumantia, !9 commended to the oitices of all representa- tives of tus government abroad.

To sauisty them there are a few, very lew, people on the stage who can for the moment forget the nine- tent centary and bring vividiy before the audience the belles and beaux, the Absoiutes, Teazios, Sneer- wells apd other notepies of society @ hundred years ago, The present age is a hard, practical age in every respect and likes to deal with passing events, Steam, electricity and the printing press have revoluiionized the stage as well as everyting else. People go to atheatre jor instruction as well as amusement, ana even if they go forthe latier alone, they prefer, as a general thins, in comedy satires on the follies of tue present day, to the absurdities of which their great-great-grand- mothers were gulity, sence, if Mr. Daiy will auhere to the modern school he wili find it more palatable to the very fashionable class of people who frequent jus pretty little theatre. The genius of the wen who lashed the vices and joillies of the last century and the tumes of our fathers is tndubitable, and the man who can reach their standard at the present day vy Wielding @ scourge as efficient will be one of the lions of our time. ‘To-night the capital comedy, “London Assurance,’ will be given, and next week will be devoted to that immortal work, which is applicable to all places, all circumstances and all tumes, “Twelfth Night.” OLyMPio THEATRE—A JUVENILE GALA Day.— Wednesday afternoon completed an epoch in the eventful career of “Wee Willie Winkie,” alias George L, Fox. He became the cynosure of oficial eyes (Commissioners of Cnarities and Corrections) and the centro of admiration of several score juvenile eyes. Long before tho hour appointed for the opening of the doors of the Ulyuipic for the usual Wednesday afternoon periormance ail Broadway was moved, convulsed and otherwise delighted by the spectacle of the children froin Randail’s Island, with thetr brass band, by the Ninth regiment, Jr,, with Uolonel Wisk, simus,” at their head, advancing by fo: on the works of ine ‘Olympic. ‘Tie ext tary experience of Messra, Dull, Fi Hayes an Symons contributed much to th cess Of the Movement, und the juveniles took the Ulympic by storm, A cloud o! skirmishers upted the side- walks and policemen act: as pioneers. Once inside the theatre, while the performance went on, the faces of the young ones were fm study in themselves, The innomerable pranks of fre prince of clowns, Fox, aad the songs, ances and comical imitations of Iittle Jenuie Yeamens found appreciative and enthu-tastic ad- mirers in the glistening iaces of the uniformed juve- niles, The uouse was crowded to its fullest extent, and the tiny visitors seemed to occupy more atiou- tion from many suber-sided habitucs of the theatre than the performance itself. The provoking coml- calities of Fox will be jong remembered by the many chubby faces that peeped over the balcony of the Olympic on Wednesday. It was a sight to be ene shrined {n the memories of all present, Lieutenant Dan mong was slightly injured by the premature dischdrge of a gun While marshalling his forces be- fore the performance. San FRANCISCO MINSTRELS.—"LeT MB Re.’ The inimitable quartet—Birch, Wambold, Bernard and Backus—who nightly put on faces of mourning to amuse their thousand and one admirers, havo got a programme of the rarest description this week at their cosey hall, ‘‘Let Me Be,’ Rollin Howard's latest production, is the main attraction. Be- tween it and “Shoo Fly’? there is @ sort of Damen and Pythias friendship, and where the melifuous tones of the one are heard there we may hear the respondent cadences of the other. “Laughing Gas,” “The New Commission- eis’ and “Moving In,’’ are also on the bil, with & Very great many others too numerous to mention, For iutelugent interpreters of the cork drama and successful producers of broad grins commend us the San Franc.sco Minstrels, Mourning 18 generally sup- posed to be the semblance of woe, but their luky Physiognomtes out-Momus’ Momus himself, sive til Musical and Dramatic Notes.
