Thiers, the actual President, has sclemaly de- clared that he will be faithfal to the republic; ard there is no reason to doubt his sincerity. There {is nothing in his conduct so far to jus- tify suspicion. Having been a monarchist and the Prime Minister of Louis Philippe is not necessarily ground for an argument that he is a monarchist still or that he will betray the republic. He who wrote the ‘‘History of the Consulate and Empire,” who has seen all the revolutions and governmental experi- ments in France since the old monarchy was broken up, who has taken a prominent part in the affairs of his country through theso re- markable changes, and who understands, per- haps better than any other man, the condition and necessities of France, may see now that a | republic is best—that monarchy and imperial- ism under so many phases having failed, the time has come to try honestly the republican form of government. That this is the thought and position of M. Thiers may bo fairly in- ferred, we think, from what he has said, and from his whole conduct since ho has been in power. Then M. Thiers holds, probably, the destiny of France in his hand. . His command- ing position as President, the influence he has over the National Assembly, and the necessity which all conservative men feel of sustainiag him through the present crisis of the country, willenable him to carry out his purpose in spite of the rivalry and plotting of factions, No doubt the people of France see, as the rest of the world sces, that he is the right man in the right place just at this critical period, and, consequently, will give him their confidence. The plots and schemes of the different. Bourbon, Orleanist and Bonaparte factions, which under other circumstances might be dangerous, will rather tend to strengthen bis goverament and help to estab- lish a republic, Let us glance at the situation of the impe- rialist and monarchical factions. The ex-Em- peror Napoleon broazht upon the country the most terrible disaster in its history. Never before bas France been so humiliated as by the war which he and bis imperialist friends precipitated with Prussia, Tue republicans of France, wiih very few exceptions, opposed this step, They will never forgive him, They Gan now appeal effectively to the sense of the uation in showing that they were right and that the Emperor and his satellites committed a grievous fault—a fault which, in view of its dreadful consequences, amounts almost to a crime, How can the French people overlook this? Besides, they must ses, now tint they have become sobered by the fearful reality of their situation, now that they are forced to become serious, that Napoleon was a vision- ary theorist and a mere actor. He was a General Boum on a large scale, an opéra boujfe performer on the stage of national affairs. He never could divest himseli of that character, It was mere acting, and childish acting at that, when he spoke of hia little boy, the Prince Imperial, as having received his ‘baptism of fire’ from being present’ with his father in the commencement of the war. This was an insult ¢o the common sense of Frencamea, for every one knew that the child could have nothing to do with the fighting of battles and that both he and his father were at a safe distance fromdanger, But such bom- bast and use of glittering phrases were char- acteristic of Napoleon. He was never sin- cere—always an actor—and on all occasions treated the French people as children who would be ‘“‘tickled by a straw.” But the French through fatal experience have become more serious. They are not likely to accept again the opéra boujfe ex-Emperor. Nor do we think they will go back to imperial mle either under the regency or hia son, at least rot for the present, and unless some astound- ing revolution should bring this family in the foreground again. That mighty structure of Bonapartism which the first Napoleon erected was razed to the foundation in the late war. It fell with the Third Napoleon at Sedan. We do not lose sight of the fact that there is a large party of imperialists or Bonapartists in France, and that some of the principal generals pow in the army owe their elevation to Napoleon, Tho Commander-in-Chief, Mar- shal MacMahon, is one of these; but, if we mistake not, this honest old hero loves his country more than the Bonapartes, and will support the existing republican government as long as it can maintain itself. His refusal to become a candidate for the Assembly shows that he isnot disposed to meddle with poli- tics and that he will do his duty to the actual government, It is known, too, that Bismarck and the imperial government of Germany, as well as several of the other dynastic govern. ments of Europe, favor the restoration of the empire. Tie French people, and particularly the republicans, entertain a feeling of revul- sion, no doubt, to a government which their bitterest enemies wish to restore, It is no recommendation to the Bonapartes that Bis- marck wishes to see them in power again. The Papal party in France, especially the Catholic hierarchy, may desire the resto. ration of the empire, because that susa- tained the Pope against the revolutiouiste, and even held Victor Emmanuel back from Rome, Still the times are mightily | changed, and if the Bonapartes were in | power agein they would bardly venture to | drive the King of Italy from Rome or restore | the temporal power of the Papacy, Then M. Thiers, probably, is as good a friend of the | Pope as any Bonaparte could be, None of | them can tara the tide of progress {n Italy, If the Catholic priests of France be wise they will not plot for the empire or @ monarchy or against the republic, To do so wonld only be to perpetuate revolutions and to make religion | Obnoxious to the people, A great deal is said abou! the mano iyros and fasion of the different branches of the | Bourbon family with a view of retort the | ; Monarchy, aad much stress ia Jaid upon the | fact that M.

The elder branch was restored after the battle of Waterloo by the allies, and Louis Philippe was placed on the throne by Lafayette. The people acquiesced because they were powerless and to escape appre- hinded disorder from socialism and commun- ism. The Bourbons of both branches, like the Bonaparies, have failed to give France a good and stable government. They have nothing to recommend them but promises, and he French have had too much sad experience of broken promises to place confidence in any of the scions of these royal houses. Both imperialism and monarchy have had but a flickering existence, and have successively gone out in revolution. Has not the time come, then, to give the republic a fair trial? We believe it has, and that M. Thiers thinks so, We attach no significance to bis amiable treatment of the Orleans or the other Bourbon Princes or to the candidature of the Prince de Joinville or any of the others for the National Assembly. The liberal conduct of the government to them shows, we think, that they are not feared. No doubt the mass of the intelligent people of France desire a republic. It would be strange if they did not, after the experience they have gone through, They must remember, too, that when France was @ republic sho was a terror to Europe and the first military Powers in the world. The republic means vigor and pro- gress. To return to monarchy is to go back to the dead past and inevitable revolutions. Even M. Guizot, judging from his letter lately tothe London Zimes, looks to the National Assembly and the present republican govern- ment of France to restore the country. Ile, too—this other old siatesman and historfan— cannot but see the folly of trying just now monarchical or imperial experiments again. He who wrote the ‘History of Civilization” ought to know that the spirit of the age is democratic and republican, and that to attempt to arrest its progress would be like trying to stem the torrent of Niagara. The revolution in America precipitated the first French revo- lution. Republican sentiments have grown in Europe since that period with the growth of this republic, Now that knowledge flies with lightning speed and the American republic has become a mizhty Power, the people of the Old World learn more rapidly from us aad are inspired by our example. The wonderful events of, and resulting from, | guy late war have given an extraordinary impulse to demoératic’ fdeas abroad. The masses of Europe will not be content till they follow our example and obtain republican governments, If a republic be established in France that country will act upon the rest of Europe as this has been acting upon the world, It will be the focus of revolutionary and republican movements. Swill M. Thiers and those who support him have a great deal both to undo and do, He must give local and municipal self-government to the cities, towns and de- partments as far as practicable and as soon as the restoration of domestic peace will warrant that. This is the basis of liberty in America, and must be in France, It is compatible at the same timo with a strong government, as has been demonstrated here. The Commune of Paris, with all its atrocities, was right in demanding the principle of municipal self- government as the basis of republican institu- tions, And here we would remark that the sooner M. Thiers ceases to fusilade the poor wretches who have fallen into his hands the better. He cannot establish the republic on the blood of the people. That le1ds to despot- ism in one form or another, But the surest foundation of republican institutions is intelli- gence. The government and the Church in France should go earneatly to work to educate the people. The movement of the masses cannot be prevented. They must be led to greater liberty and higher intelligence, or they will in their fury overwhelm their governments and the established order of things. If there be not progress in accordance with their as- pirations bloody revolutions and possibly anarchy will be the consequence. Does M. Thiers comprehend this? If 80 he occupies a position that will enable him to become the first man of the age, Loxp Jonny Rousse, on tae Wasminxaton Treaty.—Earl Ruasell made his promised address to the Crown against the ratification of the Treaty of Washing‘on, but, as we pre- dicted, it proved a great failure. The tories did not come to bis rescue; the whigs were angry with him; Earl Granville snnffed the little man almost out of existence; Earl Derby, with his accustomed common sense, would not lend any assistance to those who would thwart the government, All the best men in the House of Lords oa both sides sus- tained the treaty, and so Lord John, satisfied, no doubt, that he had vindicated his honor, with- drew his motion. Lord Jolo is a small man, but, being a member of the great House of Bedford, and having been Prime Minister of England, he is large in his owa conceit. It is now nearly fifty years since Lord Jobn helped to pass the first Reform bill, A new world has arisen since then, bnt Lord John knows it not, Some men remain young in spirit while they advance in years; Earl Russell is not of that class, Jerome Park.—Another bvilliant crowd assembled at our fashionable race coarse yer. terday, and a more than usnally exciting day's sport repaid them for their attendance, The time was not exceptionally quick, but the races were very stontly contested, and in four out of five the favorites were beaton.

We publish to-day the First Annual Report of the Department of Public Parks, as estab- lshed under the now City Charter. It is a document of great importance to the citizens of New York, at least to all those who take an interest in the ornamentation of the city and in 80 beautifying its public parks and places as to render it an object of pride to themselves as well as to posterity, Perhaps no department under the new Char- ter had so burdensome and so unpleasant a task to undertake as that of the Public Parks. When the Department came into power it found the parks, parade grounds, pub- lio squares, the Battery, and, indeed, all places of public recreation, with the possible exception of the Central Park, in a most deplorable condition, The cause for this is easily explained. At the commence- ment of the war the parks were in a tolerable condition for that period. But as the war pro- gressed, and it was found necessary to make use of these public grounds for the benefit of the country, New York city submitted herself to be shorn of her public places of beauty and pleasure, and in their stead there were erected soldiers’ barracks, wooden buildings for mili- tary rendezvous, places of enlistment, quar- ters for officers, clerks and other employés, all concerned in the one work of forming and sending forth armies for the defence of the republic, After the war there was scarcely a plot of ground ia the public places we refer to that was not covered with d¢bris of some sort or other. Ancient elms and other stately trees were destroyed ; the green shubbery was nowhere to ba seen; the fences were either defaced or demolished ; piles of old lumber and dirt, with pools of filth and ponds of stagnant and death-engendering water, were to be found where were once the gravelled walks and malls, the shady trees and the green sward and playgrounds of other days. In the inter- val between the close of the war and the new city organization the authorities had no power to impreve the public grounds, or if they had it was so difficult to get at that it was never employed. It was then, we repeat, a herculean task for the new government to undertake to bring order out of this chaos—to wrest, as it were, our city’s domains of recreation from this wretched and deplorable state. But so great hava been the zoel and energy displayed by the gentlemen composing the Department of Pub- lic Parks {un this stupendous work of ronova- tion that to-day—but about one year since they assumed their funglions—the public parks and places of the city of New York have been restored to more than their pristine bloom and attractiveness, Ofcourse much remains to be done to complete the work so auspi- ciously begun; but sufficient is already appa- rent to satisfy onr citizens that the change in the city government wrought only a year ago was a most fortunate one, so fur, at any rate, as the Department of Public Parks is con- cerned, No doubt other depariments ara en- titled to a share of public applause and com- mendation; but we dare say none havo accomplished so much teading to please the public eye and gratify the gublic taste as the Department of Public Parks. This being the first annual report of the Department of course much of its space is oc- cupied in details relative to its organization, the establishment of bureans, &c. The bu- reaus are seven in number—namely, Bureau of Accounts, Bureau of Construction and Re- pairs, Bureau of the Central Park, Bureau of Landscape Gardening, Bureau of Public Squares and Places, Bureau of Police, Bu- reau of Civil and Topographical Engineering, with an architect-in-chief and a superintend- ing architect, The Central Park demanded the first practical attention of the Depyrament, the results of which will be found in the report given to-day. The west side Boulevard, a work magnificent fo design, had been in pro- cess of construction for nearly two years when the new Board came in, and no part had yet been opened. The necessity for its early completion was obvious, and the Board set so energetically to work about it that In the month of September (following the month of May, when the Board first entered upon its duties) free and uniaterrupted travel was secured on that portion of the roadway between the Circle at Fifty-ninth street and Sevonty-first street, and subs:quently, in No- a) vember, other portions of the Boulevard were opened for the public use. The readers of the IgraLp may remember the interest wo took in the inception of this grand boulevard, orroadway or drive, from the lower end of Central Park to the upper end of the island; and, all things considered, we are inclined to congratulate the Department on the progress made towards the complution of this splendid undertaking since they had a hand init, After an exhaustive review of what the Board have accomplished in the matter of ornamenting Central Park and what they still intend to do, the report proceeds to state what has been and is intended to be done in the City Hall Park, Tompkins square, the Bowling Green, the Battery, Washington square, Madison square, Mount Morris square and the nume- rous other parks and squares that serve as breathing places for our citizens, It will be a Bource of gratification to our readers to learn that the Board expect before the present sea- son closes to complete all the city parks, and thereafter devote their attention to the Morn- ingside and Riverside parks, the improvement of Harlem river, the construction of bridges over it, the improvement of the portion of Westchester county committed to their juris- diction, the improvements on the east side of the city, including the Eastera Boulevard and the laying out of public sqrares and places on the east side, > There is, therefore, a great deal of hard work still in the hands of the Department ; but, with the record before them, there ig litde doubi that whea all is accomplished and they are revdy to declare that their work is dove, the people will cheerfully say, “Well done, good and faithful public servants.” Tne G Sranpina at West Point tApy ATES 4 The five first on the list are y 18 ai Wasson, &U3yer, ays Rogsell and Andek +. ee Pe se =e son. IMpourssr To OvsreRMeN, tf Troe—The reported discovery of an immense bed of splendid oysters off Waton’s Neck, Long Island Sound, AY, JUNE 14, 1871—QUADRUPLE SHEET, The Massacre of Paris: We are enabled this morning to fornish our readers with a full history of the terrible mas- Sacre In the streets of Paris in the dying hours of the Commune. The accounts aro from the pens of the Herarp correspondents, who have been eye-witoesses of many of the Areadful occurrences which will long be re- membered and which will furnish material for the historian who will write this the bloodiest page in the history of Paris, In a previous letter the Hzratp aorrespondenta described the eniry of the Versaillists into Paris, the desperate struggle with the soldiers of the Commune, the burning palaces and the determined struggles at the barricades; but now we have & different picture, mora bloody, more brutal, more savage, something which almost chills the blood as we read of the final scenes, which only terminated with the complete overthrow of the rebellion, The dreadful assassination of the venerable Archbishop Darboy, and the sixty hostages who also met o similar fate, seems to have been the inaugural act which led to the perpetration of a series of cruelties without a parallel in history. It was not alone the terrors of fire and sword, but poison, outrage and secret assassination that were to be dresded. Noone was safe, Aze nor sex nor condition was spared, The innocent who sought shelter in tho cellars of the houses became in nfany cases the victims to thelr own false notions of security, and while the roofs over them were in flames and the streets above thcm were swept with shot the unfortunates were suffocated in the retreat they had chosen. This is the sad fate of twenty young females who attempted to savo themselves in the manner indicated. Poor things! It might have been even a less violent death than what they otherwise might have met with had they rushed into the streets and there met the foroos of the contending parties, intoxicated with revenge and buraing with a thirst which blood alone could slake. It is impossible to imagine scenes more des- perate, Mothers with babes in their arms, children able to do little more ‘than lisp a parent’s name, old men and young—all engaged in this dreadful carnival of crime. Murder in evory shape, by the knife, tho musket, the torch and by poison; dying with murder in their hearts and blasphemy on their lips; yelling for revenge while in the embrace of death; no thought of God even in the moments pravious to their being hurried into His dread présence. Versaillists as well as Parisians are to be condemned for tho fearful cruelties which were perpetrated in these terrible days. Mon actually became demons and revelled in the blood of their fel- lows. The excesses wero terrible ; restraint was unknown. Children, who knew not what they were doing, wera slaughtered in the sireets by the infuriated soldiers of the Ver- sailles army, The dying and the dead, whose bodies wero still warm, were huddled together in the trenches, and there left to die andcorrupt the air with the noisome stench which arase from their decaying corpses. From twelve to twenty thousand victims fell during this dreadful week of fire and bloodshed in the streets of Paris. Bad fer King Amadeus. Dark days are in store for King Amadeus, The two branches of the Spanish Bourbons— the Duke of Montpensier and the Queen Isa- bella—says our Madrid despatch, have recon- ciled their conflicting claims to the throne of Spain by the fusion of the two houses, imitating therein the nice family ar- rangements of their Bourbon kinsmen in France. According to the terms of this agree- ment King Amadeus {fs be dethroned and the Duke of Montpensier to be Regent in Spain during the minority of the eldest son of Queen Isabella, the Infant Alphonso, who is to succeed Amadeus as King of Spain. If this report be true the horizon of Spain is overcharged with black clouds, and the thunderclap, or rather the lightning which must inevitably follow, will, it Is to be feared, uproot the dynasty of poor Amadens, The Montpensier party by itself was a great obstacle to his election, and formidable enough to endanger his throne, Now that the clique of the ex-Queen Isa- bella has beea added to its strength his prospects become — still — gloomier, What with the fusion of the Bourbons, who are watching for their chance, the opposition of the Carlists, who want to set upa king of their own, and the conspiracies of the Reds, who clamor for the establishmoat of a repub- lie, King Amadeus will be sorely pressed. f, amid this general scramble for power, he can hold his own he is a king indeed, and we shall be among the first to applaud his pluck. Price Narornon ann Jures Favre.— We present in another part of the Herarp this morning the letter addressed by Prince Napoleon to M. Jules Favre, The Prince is exceedingly severe on the “personal republic,” as he terms it, which upset the empire, and denounces in strong terms the treaty of peace made at Frankfort. Ali the disasters which have befallen unhappy France are laid by Prince Napoleon at the feet of the republic, which he glaims is not a republic. While re. ferring to these disasters the Priace has the candor to acknowledge that the Napoleons have their faults, Regarding the future gov- ernment of France, hé says it must be left to the people, They, and they alone, must de- cide how the nation will be ruled. Tue Emperor Francis Josnpa is putting on a pleasant face at a very unpleasant fact, The unpleasant fact fs the supremacy of the Prosgian gagle over the double-headed fowl of the same species—the fact that the descond- ant of the Margraves of Brandenburg has stepped into the shoes of. the Austrian Kaisers, The putting on a pleasant face consists in sending an envoy of high rank to congratulate Kaiser William upon the occasion of the tri: umphal entry of the German army into Berlin, The Emperor Francis Joseph would radliet. like it the other way—the trinmohe entry « Napoleon lato Berlia, A the best of a bed | ie se an any Late Reyrvixe Rains, it appears, have | heen inca culably honefeial to the growing crops of Long {sland, Connecticut and all the regions round about us, and we hope that more of these refreshing showers will soon follow. + tt is, ho is woking ery, + 420 mie oe Bm a $$ K— eye | ‘The Pope’s Latest Encyclical. On the first day of July the-Italian govern- ment, according to arrangement, will make Rome ifs headquarters, Places are now being provided for the royal fumily, for the Parlia- ment, for the different foreign embassies and legations. On that day, unless the. programme is changed, the Holy Father and his Szcred College of Cardinals will find themselves oc- cupying subordiuate positions in the city which hitherto they have called their own. That the Holy Father does not intend:to yield one iota of what he considers his own Is made plain by the Encyclical which we printed in the Heratp of yesterday. This latest Ency- clical is, as usual, full of sorrow. The Holy Father bewails the evil days ia which his lot has been cast, denounces the Sub-Alpine gov- ernment, quotes largely from the obsolete writings of medieval fathers, thanks his chil- ren for their unfailing goodness toward him, prays for them, grants them his apostolic bene- diction; but plainly, and in the most unquall- fied manner, refuses to accept the situation. He will have no guarantees. He cannot be free, he says, to discharge his duty as Head of the Church and at the same time be the subject of any sovereign, In spite of all this, however, the Pope very wisely remains in Rome. Ithas always been the advice of the Hsratp to the. Holy Father that if he did not come to Now York and accept our hospitality he should re- main in the Vatican and trust to fate. Wa have never concealed the fact that we wera satisfied with the liberal arrangements made by the Italian government for the Holy Father. Considering the diffloulties of that government more liberal engagemonts. were not possible. Everything has been done to segure the Pope's personal comfort. Nothing hag been left undone to secure his indepen- dency as a spiritual ruler. But Cardinal An- tonelli, who, some time ago, said, ‘‘We shall have no guarantees but the restoration of our territories iuside the line of the Po and tke Neapolitan frontier,” evidently controls the Sacred College; and the latest Encyctical shows that on the part of the Papal authorities there is to be no compromise. It remains to be seen how the Pope and the King of Italy will get on in the same city. The Popa refaass to recognize him as the King of Italy, The Pope, we think, had better make it up with the King. All his fricads, except France, are indifferent to his sorrow, and poor Franca has enough to do with herself. Thero ig somethiag, after all, in modern progress, Pity that the Popo will not march with the times. We do not see how the Jubilee, or the Encyclical, or any possible Holy Alliance or Crusade, can undo what has been done, Reconciled to the Italian government, happy in the Vatican, and honored by his many chil- dren in all lands, the Holy Father might initiate anew, @ happier, a more successful era of the Papacy. Stubbora rosistance cannot belp him or his cause. Tho Case of Greeloy vs. Murphy. — Tho prosecution of this case on the sida of Groeley was really the purpose of the reception given him by his city Central Tammany Republican Committee at Union square. There are two republican organizations In this city—the Murphy organization, which repre- sents the insiders of the Custom House, and which stands by General Grant for another term, and the Featon-Greeley Tammany organiza- tion, which is outside the Custom House, and which, therefore, opposes the running of Gen- eral Grant for another Presidential term. How can the outsiders of this organization support him while Murphy, like Mordecai, is sitting on the king’s gate and they can’t go in? It is Greeley against Murphy, and Murphy, being in occupation of the Custom House, has uine points of the law in his favor. Mr. Greeley’s speech at Union square was, consequently, somewhat lugubrious, On the main question, Murphy, he did not very clearly define his position, except in this, that while he talked of almost everybody and almost everything else he ignored Mr. Marphy and cut General Grant. Yea, he intimated in a round- about way that in order to have some satis- faction out of Grant and Murphy he would consent to represent a one-horse independent republican tickot for the Presidency.

It appears that these men strive to throw a stumbling block in the way of all who are brought into business contact with them, They will procrastinate and put off if there is a possibility of their doing 60, They maka themselves the judges of what is right and what is wrong, They decide quostions upon their own opinion, Taéy will do anything to caso {nconvenience and trouble if it suits them to do so, nnd they are noi only becom. ing, but have become, positiva Ruisances to those having any business relations whatever with them. It is unnecessary to enter into the details of the many grievances inflicted by these worthies; but the time has arrived when it will be our imperative duty to call tho attention of the Treasury Department to thom, and then, if the nuisance ig fiot abated, wa shai take further” higagutes to throw light upon their shortcomings aytl their disposition to make the whole world subservient to theic wishes, “ 5 TOE ES Deounrs THe Hoxor.—-The Hon, bi. &.
