And the spirit said, ‘Can these bones live?’ And we prophesied, and Bhere was a noise and a shaking among the dry bones, and breath came into them, and they lived and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army—the army of the democracy rallied again.” So much for accepting negro suffrage.

There is a great gap yet to be filled, however, The space between Chine and our Pacific coast has yet to be over- yor but those who have accomplished that which only a few years ago was deemed an impossibility will, sooner or later, finish the great work, Califoraia must be put in com- mounication with Japan and China, via the Sandwich Islands.

De may be traced ——= oe ae * oe NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1871.-TRIPLE se =n OTE WNC: TEL CN Frouch Republic—Father Hyacinthe the Latin Races and Niucteenth Cea- tury. Isarepubdlican government in France pos- sible? Can and will M, Thiers honestly make the experiment? These questions are in the minds of people everywhere. Of course they can only be answered speculatively, and almost every one will endeavor to reason them out according to the bias of his mind or wishes—the monarchist or imperialist arguing against the probability of establishing a re- public andthe hopeful republican in favor, From our independent position we can take a more impartial and broader view of the mat- ter than the people of France or of Europe, who are partially blinded by their prejudices and the passions which the exiraordinary events of the time have evoked. A republic in France is possible, and, judg- ing from existing circumstances, that form of government is as likely to be established as either a monarchy under the old Bourbon line, or Orleanists, or the empire under a regency or the restoration of Napoleon. The very rivalry of the different aspirants for the throne, especially that between the Bourbons and the Bonapartists, will conduce to the establish- ment of a republic, If M. Thiers honestly desires to give the republican government a fair trial—and he has emphatically declared that to be his intention—the conflict and plot- tings of the royalists and imperialists will aid him in that object. Their divisions and rival claims would strengthen his hands. Tbe mass of the people would prefer, no doubt, to see the existing republican government perpet- uated than to run the risk of more changes, and, in the end probably, of more bloody revo- lutions. While we and the civilized world have con- demned the Commune of Paris for making war on the republican government chosen by the nation, and for its deeds of atrocity and Vandalism, we do _ not lose sight of the fact that to a certain extent it was contending for a sound principle of goverament. The Parisians were aware that the inherent evil of all the govern- ments of France, under the empire, monarchy or republic, was excessive centralization, and that this led in turns to despotism and bloody revolutions. To cure this they claimed local self-government as far as this could be com- patible with unity and proper strength in the central government. They wanted municipal and local privileges similar to those we enjoy and that are enjoyed in a great measure in England. They understood that these made the surest foundation of liberty, that experi- ence had proved them to be so, and that there was no hope of decentralizing the gov- ernment of France in any other way. Unfor- tunately the leaders of the Commune did not confine themselves to this simple object, but brought into the foreground in coanection with that their dangerous theories for the re- construction of society which threaten the rights of property and of individuals. It is but fair to say, however, that the revolution- ists of the Commune were more moderate and did not go so far in this respect as the revolutionists of 1848, or as some of those of 1790, who declared all property theft. With all the Vandalism there was not that rampant socialism and communism which characterized former revolutions. Then, the Parisians in the late frightful straggle distrusted the Versailles government of M. Theirs. They remembered the many times they had been cheated by their leaders, by the Bonapartes and the monarchists in dis- guise, and how they had been slaughtered like cattle in the coups d'état of usurpers. Smart- ing under the terrible humiliation of the Prus- sian war Napoleon had brought upon them—a war which the democrats of Paris and the men of the Commune opposed—they were not willing to trust the ancient minister of Louis Philippe, a man whom they believed to be a monarchist at heart. They were apprehensive that he wonld sell them out to the monarchy or empire again. Hence their clamor for local self-government, the control of the national guard, and the removal of the government from Versailles to Paris. It should ba borne in mind, too, that the largest part of the people who fought so heroically in Paris belonged to the respectable and indus- trious classes. Of course a great many of the scum of society came to the surface, as they do on all such occasions, to take a part in the fight, but the bulk of those who fought were not robbers or murderers. The mass were contendiug for a principle, however mistaken they might have been and however much their conduct deserves condemnation. M. Theirs had promised to be true to the republic, and the Parisians ought to have tested his sincerity before making war oa his govern- ment. We think it is in the power of M. Theirs to establish arepublic in France. The monarch- ical and imperialist factions contending with each will, as we have said, rather assist him than not, if that be his object. The Commune is no obstacle now. Indeed, if he should be wise and patriotic enough to throw overboard the mooarchists and imperialists, and should roake a determined effort to establish the repab- lic the Parisians who have been fighting against bis government would probably rally to snpport’ him. A republic in France has never had a fair trial, From one cause or another both the first and second empires, as well as the Orleans and old Bourbon monarchies, failed. Has not the time come to fairly try a republic? Will M. Thiers look at the matterin this light? Hecan make himself a greater man by establishing the republic than by turning over France to the monareby or empire. The world has advanced in every way, and ge icularly in political intelligence, within ast century. The masses of mankind are becoming educated rapidly by means of the press, the telegraph, facilities of travelling, and other agencies of our modern civilization. The American republic has become the great beacon light of the nations. It shows them the way to freedom, equality and good gov- ernment. It is reacting powerfully upon old Europe. The people there who have sat in darkness and under despotism for ages feel the impulse of republicanism here. The over- throw of the old monarchy in France in the revolution of 1789 was the result ina great measure of the establishment of the Ameri- revolu- chiefly to the same cause and to the wonderful development of our free republican institu- tions. This is the element that is moving be- neath the crust of all the old societies and institutions of Europe and rocking them to their foundations. It is a political and moral earthquake, The modern Casars, emperors, kings and aristocracies may try over and over again to break the force of republican ideas, and, after revolutions and wars, to reconstruct society upon the old basis; but all their efforts will be in vain. Political slavery cannot exist long any more than domestic slavery. If France should remain a republic all Europe will soon be convulsed with aspirations for liberty, and the monarchies and aristocracies will be swept away. Their colossal armies— their millions of armed men—cannot save them. With the press, telegraph, steam power, general enlightenment and other agencies of civilization it isimpossible that the world can goback. It must advance, and the greatest result of that advancement will be the free- dom, elevation and improved condition of the masses of mankind. Father Hyacinthe, in a letter recently pub- lished in the Gauloia, the points of which we published yesterday in a telegram from Paris, seems to comprehend the movements of the age and the evils that underlie society. After referring to the sympathy Italy feels for France, and advising the union of the Latin races as a necessary balance of power in Europe to the growing preponderance of the Germans and Slaves, he strikes at the causes of the civil war in Paris. ‘The acts of the Commune,” he says, “‘were the result of the negation of God by the people.” While fighting for what they deemed a republican principle and a principle of local self-govern- ment, the people were led to frightful atrocities, because they had no faith in and were not under the restraints of religion, Seeing that the priests are, for the most part, the sup- porters of monarchy and despotism, they revolt at and will have no religion at all. The Church, Father Hyacinthe says, has failed in its mission. ‘It has been too much occupied with dogmatic questions and too little with the instruction of its flock.” This is why the people have no God, or say it is impossible to believe in or love Him. Why will not the Church (and here we mean all churches, Protestant and Catholic alike) become the ally and teacher of the people? Why should it be the supporter of monarchy, absolutism, and the privileged few, as against the many? What vast good would result to the world if the Church would take up the cause of the people and see that they be educated. This is the great problem of the age. If the Church will not march with the progress of the times and the aspirations of the people, bloody revolutions and anarchy must be the consequence, and the Charch must fall. It cannot command the respect of mankind and coatinue to have influence if it sustains tyranny and ignores the wants of the people. To become eminently useful and to support order with progress the Church should favor republican ideas, for that would be in accordance with the spirit and tendency of the age. Above all, rulers and the priests of all denominations should see that the people be educated. The French Assembly aud the Bourdous. A cable despatch which we print this morning announces that the debate on the validity of the election of the Orleans Princes to the National Assembly was postponed, yesterday, at the request of M. Thiers, who stated that the committee having the matter in charge had not arrived at adecision. The impression is, however, that the result of the vote following the debate will be the abrogation of the de- eree which exiles the Bourbon Princes, It is generally felt—and the newspapers confess it—that such a course will result in the restoration of the Bourbons, That the present aspect of things isin favor of the Bourbon restoration we cannot deny. It is our opinion, however, that the abrogation of the decree which exiles the Bourbons will not satisfy the French people unless the Bonapartes are put ona similar footing. If it is permitted to the Bourbons, younger and older, to return to France and take part in the reconstruction of their unfortunate fatherland, there is no good reason known to us why the Bonaparte family should not have extended to them a like privilege. The prospect of the republic, we are sorry to say, is not yet bright. The Bourbon star for the present is in the ascendant. But he wonld be a bold man who would say that the miserable failure of the ond empire has absolutely destroyed the cause or obliterated the memories which are associated with the name of Bonaparte. President Thiers has a big task on hand. Let us hope that he will prove himself equal to the heavy demands which are made upon him. Asa historian he has already made his name immortal. Asa statesman he has once more found bis opportuni! Tae EXTENSION OF THE SysTEM oF StorM SiGNas by the Signal Bureau at Washington isa highly commendable improvement upon an already admirable arrangement. It is in- tended now to erect an observatory or tower on one of the highest buildings in lower Broadway, where, by the aid of the signal staffs, dials, balls and other instruments used by the Signal Corps, the state of the weather and its general probabilities will be given to the public two or three times a day, The imporiance of this arrangement to our sea- going vessels and to shippers, as well as to business men and pleasure parties, can be seen without ae comment, Rev. Srert HEN i. Ty IR. —our own New York Tyng—has gone to Chicago to give aid and comfort to his rebellious brother, the Rev. Mr. Cheney, who has been cast out of the Episcopal Church for some serious deviation from the accepted canons, putting a word in a new place in the baptismal ser- vice, we believe, in order to make the sen- tence good English. The Chicago bishop warned our Tyng off, but he had been before wrathy bishops on similar charges himself, and he knew at what average to rate those unwieldy ecclesiastics. He preached in Cheney's church directly against the bishop, and never bad that church so immense a crowd inside its walls before, People so love to take a lit‘le foroidden fruit, especially Chicago people. Ah, Tyng, you too are bo- coming @ heathen Cheney An Hour with the “Sphinx.” President Grant at Long Branch again con- versed quite freely with the Hrratp corre- spondent yesterday, and in his terse and well considered sentences set at rest many trouble- some questions now being agitated. He said he needed Minister Bancroft at Berlin just now, and could not accep! bis resignation until Kaiser William had decided the Sao Juan question; that the new treaty would be fixed all right by October next; that he named General Meagher’s son for a cadetship at West Point, but fouad Con- gressman Roosevelt was ahead of him; that he had had nothing whatever to do with ap- pointing Brigham Young's son; that he ao- cepted the republican nomination for the Pre- sidency originally because he felt that he might heal many disagreements in the party by so doing, and that he did not like the prospects if a democrat were elected; and that while he could not speak for Sherman, although they were warm friends, he felt sure Sherman could never accept a democratic platform on which to run for the Presidency, because Davis and the fire-eaters would always pull the democracy back from any new departure they might attempt. Mr. Boutwell’s financial policy was satisfactory, and he did not believe in changingit. Mr. Fish was not likely to have had any very serious quarrel with Minister Catacazy, our relations with Russia were very cordial, and Prince Alexis was certain to receive a hearty wel- come, officially and unofiicially, on bis arrival in this country, These, in brief, are the statements which the President made to our correspondent yes- terday, and his free expression of them will not only go a_ great way toward relieving any suspense oranxiety the country may have felt upon the subjects discussed, but will teach the people, who have only half understood their Chief Magistrate, that he is not the deep, designing sphinx his political opponents call him. When the President so freely communicates his private views upon public subjects to the press we may feel sure that he is plotting no dire conspiracy aud shaping no unwelcome policy in his more secluded hours. The Crevasse at New Orleans, The good people of the Crescent City have another dread sensation over the partial sub- mersion of their city by another break in the levees. This time, however, it is a canal levee on the north of the city, the usually sluggish waters of the canal having been in- creased to an alarming volume by back water from Lake Ponchartrain and the late crevasse at Bonnet Carre. The levees had been greatly weakened by the inexcusable removal of part of the earth composing them in order to fill up vacant marsh lots in the city. The fruit of this unparalleled thoughtlessness is visible now in the partial submersion of the city, an area of over gix miles being covered by water six or seven feet deep, and twenty-five hundred houses, that have hitherto rested on the com- paratively secure basis of the New Orleans foundations, standing at present in the midst of a lake. The great crevasse at Bonnet Carre ought to have been warning enough, it would seem, to secure an early repairing of all the levees, instead of a partial demolition of any of them: But the fact is otherwise, and the result is an immense loss of property and an immeasurable amount of desolation and in- convenience. The lesson, however, is the same. Strong levees are essential to the safety of one of the richest and most beautiful cities of the Union— indeed one of the greatest shipping ports and commercial merts in the United States—and as the people are unable, mainly through an un- settled city government, to build them, the general government should give them aid. A few millions would probably patch these levees where they are insecure at present, and, as time progresses, New Orleans and the Missis- sippi valley, with their wonderful recuperative powers and the continuance of peace and prosperity, will be fully able to keep them in repair hereafter. A Good Idea—Let Them Come. Itis reported that a company of London editors are coming over here this summer for an extensive tour in the United States and the New Dominion. We hope they will come. The idea isa good one. Asarule the jour- nalists of the British metropolis and of the “three kingdoms” are amusingly ignorant of the geography of the United States, of their political divisions of sections and States, and of their local and national political institutions, In a business point of view, therefore, the London editor, especially if he has ‘‘done” the European Continent and is casting about for new fields for useful information combined with sight-seeing, cannot do better than make a summer tour through the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific seaboard. He will find here no old rains or relics of the Roman empire and the Middle Ages, but he will find in our great lakes, rivers, waterfalls, cafions, mountains, prairies and deserts, all the natu- ral beauties and wonders of Europe and Asia, and he will find that from New York to San Francisco, and from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, in the growth and develop- ment of our cities and towns and farms and workshops, evidences of a national wealth, happiness, power and prosperily without a parallel in the history of any people. So we heartily approve of this project of a tour through the United States of a company of London editors, and ‘‘the more the merrier.” Let them come, and let them be masters of their movements here, and we are sure that in health, enjoyment and useful information they will be well repaid for their expedition, Eart pe Grey has resumed his seat in the House of Lords. THis colleagues—says our despatch—congratulated him on the conclu- sion of the Treaty of Washington. The Earl is fully entitled to the credit of having contri- buted, by his tact and conciliatory conduct, to the success of the negotiations. We look upon his warm reception as an additional proof that the treaty, on the whole, meets with the views and wishes of the House of Lords. Although the government has the power to ratify without consulting Parliament, still do we believe that the manner in which Earl de Grey was welcomed back will exercise @ moral influence on the Cabinet and hasten the final ratification of the Treaty of Washing - ton “i Mn a6 a dee ae el cacceacess. oe Pedro's Viet to Berepe end the Ueterd States, We publish this morning an interesting letter from our special correspondent in Rio Janiero relating to the proposed visit of the Emperor of Brazil to Europe and this republic, It would appear that the trip is not popular with Dom Pedro's subjects, who are in dread lest he never return. This fact speaks volames in evidence of the devo- tion of Brazilians to their ruler; and, Indeed, the Emperor of Brazil is a wise, enlightened monarch, who has labored diligently to benefit his country, and bas met with signal success, Daring bis war with Paraguay be was in dis- favor with Americans, who feared that be had sinister designs upon the Paraguayan republic. but the loyal manner in whieh he bas acted since the war ended has removed these fears and enabled us to regard bim as a bright example to the ccowned beads the world over. His address to the General Assembly of the empire at the recent opening of its session is noteworthy for the liberal sentiments it gives expression to. While Great Britain is suspending the writ of habeas corpus in Ireland and packing juries to convict Irishmen, Dom Pedro, a representative of the much abused Latin race, acknowledges that “there is need for reform ta our (Brasil - ian) judicial legislation, to provide an upright adwinistration of justice and for the protection of individual rights from excesses and abuses.” He favors limiting the authority of the police, confining arrests to cases of unavoidable neces. sity, facilitating ball and appeal, “seapecially the guardian guarantes of babeas corpus ;” and he desires laws enacted which shall protect “to the utmost possible extent legitimate ex. pression of the national vote by preventing the abuses which practice has demonstrated to be in existence.” This is unusual language from an emperor, because it breathes the spirit of nineteenth century progressive civilization, unmixed with feudal traditions and aspirations. But if Dom Pedro is notably liberal in his views he is not yet a republican, He pos- sesses dynastic ambition, and his trip to Europe is ostensibly to recruit the health of the Empress and to visit his grandsons, the children of the Dake of Saxe by the Princess Leopoldina, who died receatly in Vienna. The eldest of these boys is tue heir presump- tive to the Brazilian throne; but Dom Pedro is anxious that the successioa shall be direct; hence he visits Europe really for the purpose of ascertaining the possibility or probability of his wife becoming the mother of a gon, In this delicate and remarkable mission we are sure everybody will wish him success. As regards his visit to the United States we have no doubt that he will be heartily wel- comed. He is said to entertain the warmest admiration for this republic, regarding its gov- ernment as being, in its effect upon the happi- ness and prosperity of the masses, the best ia the world, and his executive labors have been directed to making his empire as democratic as itcan be. In view, then, of his general excel- lence as a ruler, we can pardon the pomp and display which attended the opening of the Assembly. After all, Dom Pedro, attired in gorgeous robes and wearing a golden crown, is none the less liberal-minded and progressive in his ideas. We expect much good will re- sult to Brazil from his visit here, He will be able to see us as we are, and, as a man of keen perception and vivid memory, he will bear back to his realms plans for reform which, when carried into effect, cannst fail to push Brazil forward in the ranks of nations, Personal Intelligence.
