Only seven millions of the loan have so far been _ taken by subscribers, the remainder—some | sixty millions—being in exchange for securi- ties held by national banks. The new loan is therefore a failure (unless there is an unex- pected amount of truth in the cable despatch announcing the complete success of Assistant - Secretary Richardson’s negotiations in Lon- don); and so long as it is human nature to prefer a seven per cent return upon invest- | ments to four per cent such ventures will | prove failures, Count Brust Makes a Fovrtn or Jury Sprxcu.—The speech of Count Beust at the American diplomatic dinner at Vienna, though fn all probability far from being as elaborate asthe remarks of Mr. Jay, was full of sound gense and kindly feeling. itis an agreeable ‘thing to have the Prime Minister of Austria | proposing the health of the President of the United States, and, notwithstanding Count \ Beust believes in the quarrelsomeners of man- | kind, his own recent pacific declarations en- | ance the importance of his compliment to the | ‘American people.

Sore. Resurrection of France and the Bffect Upen Barope. Recent events in France have upset the calculations of the different reactionary fac- tions in that country, as well as the forebod- ings of evil prophets abroad. Notwithstand- ing the almost overwhelming ‘disasters of the war with Germany and of the terrible civil war which immediately followed, the nation rises again with a power and caim dignity that surprises the world. Never before in history has France exhibited such sober earnestness, less excitable impulse or more elevated patriotism, The suffering and humiliation brought upon this prond nation by the war with Germany have made the people more serious, thoughtful and patriotic than ever. That good, at least, has resulted from it; and possibly all the suffering, losses and disgrace of this war may prove in the end a benefit to France, just es our terrible civil war may prove a blessing both to this republic and the world ai large. Although the sacrifice of life, health and property with us has been stu- pendous, and although we have created an enormous debt and put our constitutional lib- erties and free system of government on a severe trial through maintaining the unity of the nation, great advantages have been gained. The continued ‘disturbing element of slavery has been removed, republican principles have received a broader and more enduring founda- tion in the enfranchisement and civil equality of all men, the republic has been placed in the first rank of nations, and we have developed a power, wealth and greatness not known be- fore. This is the good that, in the dispensa- tion of Providence, has grown out of evil. May it not be the same with France? The indications are that it will be. The events to which we particularly refer as showing the resuscitation of France are the elections that have just been held, the success of the loan and high credit of the country, and the suppression of the Paris insurrection, The first shows that the sentiment of the na- tion is republican, for though the elec- tions were supplementary and held only over apart of France, they were so decisive, and occurred at the time when there might have been some apprehension of red republicanism, that there is no doubt the votes cast then re- presented the views of the majority of the French people everywhere. The Thiers’ gov- ernment and the National Assembly will probably so understand the meaning of these elections, whatever may have been the politi- eal complexion of the Assembly previously. There is little doubt that M. Thiers looks at them in that light. Let us hope the Assembly does also; for they took place when France was much calmer, and acting more deliber- ately than under the previous elections, and when there was no undue governmental influ- ence exerted. In short, there never was in that country, perhaps, a fairer election, or one when the people were more serious and calm. True, the European press agents that send us news, a8 well as the press and monarchists generally of Europe, endeavor to make it appear that the elections did not in- dicate a republican success, The thought is according to the wish, and not accord- ing to fact. In their efforts to damage the republic they call the republican deputies elected Thicrites, wishing to imply that these deputies are not republicans—are only sup- porters of M. Thiers, and would go with him even for the monarchy. This is misrepre- sentation without the least foundation, and is like a great deal of the news that comes through European sources, The elections were decidedly and overwhelmingly in favor of the republic; and if tho government or Assembly should attempt to act in opposition to the sentiment expressed then, which we do not think is likely, that would be a betrayal of and fraud upon the people. . The other events to which we refer to strengthen our expectation of the speedy resurrection of France under republican gov- ernment are the extraordinary subscriptions to the loan and the effectual suppression of the Paris insurrection. In the former we see at the same time the patriotism of the French, the astonishing résources of the country and confidence in the ultimate confirmation and establishment of that republic which had only been regarded as provisional. In the latter we have the best evi- dence of the strength of a republican government to crush rebellion, to keep down the dangerous classes and to maintain order. It may be said the loan would have been readily taken under any form of government. No doubt the French are so intensely patri- otic that with them their country is superior to all political or partisan considerations ; but it must not be forgotten that the actual gov- ernment is republican in form, though it may be called provisional, and that the people and capitalists showed remarkable confidence in that government. Every other form of gov- ernment was uncertain of attainment. The imperialists and the two branches of the Bour- bon family could not unite, and separately were evidently weak. The late elections show this ina striking manner. The loan, there- fore, was taken with the expectation that the existing republican government would be sus- tained, and hence, we think, the confidence in it. A more significant fact is that of the loan advancing on the market immediately after the elections showed that six-sevenths of the members chosen to the Assem- bly were republicans. It should be remembered, too, that some of the elections were in the country districts where it was erroneously supposed the imperialists and monarchists were ina majority. The peasants of France, as well as the people of the cities, indicate their desire to have the republic estab- lished. This seems to show also that the ordi- nary priests, who are supposed to exercise great influence over the rural population, have either lost such influence or go with the people for a republic. In all probability their sympa- thies are with the people, whatever views the hierarchy of the Church may hold, Then the idea that has been held in Europe, that a re- publican government could not be a strong one and maintain order and the rights of pro- perty, has been dissipated by the action of the Thiers government, as the fallacy of it had been proved previously in the United States, Taking it for granted, then, that the pros- pect is very favorable for the establishment of a republic in France, what a fature is promised for the nation! It will, indeed, become la grande nation azein. New vigor will be in- fused into the people, education will be pro- moted, and every kind of industry will re- vive. No people are more susceptible of feeling the stimulating influence pf freedom and republican institutions. With a few years of peace France would pay a large portion of the war debt and become very rich. Paris would, probably, under a republican Court become more gay anda greater attraction for foreigners than it ever has been. And what a stimulus would be given to art and science when the road to honor and fame would be open equally to poor and rich alike! In short, a republic would suit the character and genius of the French in every respect. And what a position this would give France in Europe! Forty milllons of people in the heart of Europe prospering under republican institu- tions would be a spectacle to aronse the nations and the aspirations of the oppressed masses. Almost all great movements of the people of Europe for liberty and progress have been initiated in France. She has led the way, though not always reaping the fruits of her efforts, and other nations have followed. There is a prospect now that she will not only lead in republican movements, but that she will attain the object for which she has gone through many revolutions. It is this prospect that alarms (he monarchies and aristocracies of Europe. In this France may revenge her- self on the Prussian monarchy, Bismarck and the German military oligarchy more effectually than by another war. The people of Germany would become allies of the French in a strug- gle for republican freedom. Spain and Italy, no doubt, would soon follow the example of France. England would be revolutionized in a few years, either by the rising of the people or by large and timely concessions of the gov- ernment. A permanent republic in France would change the whole face of Europe. We have worked out the problem of republican government in America. It has taken a cen- tury to do this, France and the other nations of Europe need not go through the same trials, They can learn of us. Let France follow our example, and she will become the leader of the other nations in the Old World. Under a republic she has a great destiny before her. To go back to imperialism or monarchy would be to return only to revolu- tions, dynastic wars and an uncertain future. ~The Tickborne Cnae. This remarkable trial which for weeks past has atiracted large and distinguished audiences in the Sessions Court of Lon- don, before the Lord Chief Justice, is des- tined to hold its position for some time to come. A despatch from London, which we publish this morning, announces that the jury in the case had privately informed the judge that they were convinced that the claimant was an im- postor and were willing to render a verdict to that effect. The judge refused to entertain the idea, and so the case will proceed in itsqregu- lar course to the close. In romantic interest the Tichborne case will hold a conspicuous place among the most celebrated trials on record. Whether true or false the plaintiff's siory is one of intense iuterest. Going back through long years, he who claims to be Sir Roger _Tichborne, the righiful heir to a long and noble inheritance, tells the story of a life of adventure which even the pages of fiction seldom afford a parallel. Fol- lowing the evidence of the claimaat when placed in the witness’ box, he describes his boyhood days at home in England in the Tichborne manor; then his school days in France; his travels in Spain; home again in England ; bis entry into the army ; his meeting with Miss Kate Doughty; his resignation from the army and his departare for South America; his adventures in that country; again on ship- board, and shortly after, his disaster by being cast away at sea; his subsequent adventures in Australia, living a wild life among the miners, and, before leaving again for Eng- land, taking to his heart a low born maid for his wedded wife, This is the man who now claims to be the rightful heir of a noble inheritance and the descendant of one of the most ancient of English families. In the early days of the trial it was declared that witnesses would be forthcoming who would testify that the reputed Sir Roger Tich- borne was known to them in years gone by as abutcher. This evidence, no doubt, if it can be produced, will be brought up by the de- fence, It is undeniable, however, that so far the claimant bas a very strong case; and sus- tained as it is by such an adjanct as that of the affidavit of Lady Tichborne herself, in which she most positively affirmed her belief that the man who now claims to be Sir Roger Tichborne was her son, and consequently the person he claimed to be, renders it still stronger. The testimony of Thomas Car- ter, the bedy servant of Sir Roger in 1852, who swore ‘“‘he had no more doubt that the claimant is the Roger Tichborne of 1852 than he has that he, Carter, is himself,” is also of considerable importance. A former butler in the Tichborne family was quite as strong in his testimony as to the identity of the claimant. And these are not all who might be named whose testimony is strong in proof that the rough, uncouth, burly, uncultivated looking individual who now occupies a most prominent place in the minds of the people of England, and especially of English aristocracy, is the rightful heir to an ancient baronetcy, the rent roll of which reaches over one hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars a year. Thirty- three witnesses were placed on the stand before the claimant himself took his place, and though in some respects the evidence was contra- dictory, still there was on the whole a remark- able unanimity in the stories which each of them had to tell ia this “strange eventful his- tory. The case is still in progress in London, and until it is concluded the Court in which it is conducted will continue to be the resort of members of the British nobility, who feel intensely interested as to the final result, Tne Bric InteGRipap is in quarantine with yellow fever on board. Dr. Carnochan is still watchful, and if carefulness on his part can keep the scourge from our doors we may be sure that we will be free of it. The heat of the summer is upon us, and one infectious dis- ease is already in our midst. It is therefore the more necessary that Dr. Carnochan’s efforts to quell the yellow fever at quarantine should be seconded warmly by our merchants and shipowners, is AR SAR Aas ARR Mt cn ene aay x chen atne—rnsunnseaseessits ‘The Elections and the Political Situation | The in Mexico. Whatever may be sald of the corruptions of the Juarez government in Mexico and the peculations of the Ministers by whom he is sur- rounded, it is still plain enough that he has done more for that unhappy country than any man who has been at the head of affairs there in many years. In this view of the situation in Mexico there is every reason for commending the result of the recent elections. Had Lerdo succeeded in gaining over to his support any considerable party, bloodshed and revolution could not have been averted. The chronic state of anarchy which has so long cursed the country would once more have become an acute malady, and all the old disorders of the old republic would have been revived. Juarez’s success seems to insure the country against these evils and holds out a hope, at least, of continued prosperity and peace. There is little hope for Spanish-American civilization unless law and order can be main- tained in Mexico, With all their zeal for re- publican institutions these people fail to under- stand republicen liberty. They seem almost universally to regard it as a license to break the law instead of the duty to maintain it. One party of revolutionists follows another and each faction gives rise to twenty mere. But since the failure of Maximilian’s Mexican empire this state of things has not prevailed to any alarming extent in the republic. Juarez has given his countrymen comparative quiet, and they seem to appreciate his services by endorsing his policy and re-electing him to the office he has long held, His success is the success of order, whereas the triumph of Lerdo would have been the signal for disturbance. It is a hopeful sign, and we trust the Mexican people will reap great advantages from the confidence they have proclaimed in their President. The defeated faction may yet create trouble, but, so far, all the indications are favorable. The condition of affairs in Mexico is better to-day than it bas been for many months. Civil war, which not long ago seemed imminent, has been averted, The elections for members of Con- gress, which take place next Sunday, will have an important bearing upon the future, and can- not be overlooksd in estimating the political situation, but they can scarcely fail in being a triumph for the government. Long experi- ence in the direction of public affairs, the con- fidence of the people and a harmonious Con- gress will now enable the Mexican President to place the republic on an enduring founda- tion, and it is to be hoped that Juarez, when he quits his offica, will leave his country free from the hopeless struggles which have so long vexed it. Our Democratic Cabinct for 1873. John Quincy Adams, for Secretary of State ; Governor $ioffman, for the Treasury; ex- Senator Hendricks, for the Interior; General Frank Blair, for the War Office; Governor Walker, of Virginia, for the Navy; Mr. Greeley, for Postmaster General (his old hobby), and Mr. Pen@leton for Attorney Gen- eral—and it is a powerful combination. In adopting this Cabinet in 1872 as the Cabinet proposed to and accepted by the democratic Presidential standard bearers a whole batch of Presidential aspirants will be handsomcly provided for, and they can all take the field and each can show his meitle and the reforms he will introduce if installed in the department assigned him. Let the democrats proclaim this as their Cabinet and put it on their Presi- dential ticket, And why not? Is not Mr. J. Q. Adams one of the most promising young statesmen of the age, and a red-hot democrat ? Is not Governor Hoffman a splendid financier, as shown in hisState papers? And so through the whole list: the more it is examined in de- tail the more it will be admired, Mr. Greeley, for instance, as a democratic candidate for Postmaster General, is the man to lead the party on their new departure. His nomination for this post by the democracy would reconcile and bring over to the ‘‘unter- rified” on their new departure such men as Gerrit Smith, Fred Douglass, Downing, the oysterman, and Jeff Davis, and they would all take their oysters at the same table, This is the glorious new departure to which we would invite the democratic party; and between “Boss Tweed,” ‘Hank Smith” and such old campaigners we think it can be fixed. It covers grand idea, which will certainly be adopted because of its commanding popularity. Foster's Covnset, by his untiring devotion to his client and indefatigable search after the Judge for his purpose, has finally made his point and succeeded in obtaining a stay of proceedings in his client’s case. Judge Pratt, of the Supreme Court of Kings county, is the individual who has confidence enough in his own legal learning to set up his convictions against those of Judges Cardozo and Ingraham, and against the united sentiment of the people of this city, and he has granted this writ, which, according to all criminal tradition in this city, is the first of a series of writs and quibbles that will finally put Foster where he can commit another murder if he chooses to get drunk again. Tue Svictpz or Mr. Dow, a wealthy citizen of New Hampshire, by taking lauda- num, in Madison square, early yesterday morn- ing, is suggestive of a much needed improve- ment in the modes of self-destruction. Blow- ing one’s brains out, jumping into the rivers, or hanging one’s self from the bedpost are all horrible methods that make death even more repulsive than in his grimmest moods ; but to pass out of existence ina sleep, through the bewildering and delightful dreams induced by opium, in the cool breezes of the early morn- ing and in o garden spot like Madison square, is a refinement in suicide that ought to put a Frenchman in ecstasies. Tue Risk 1n Gop, despite the heavy dis- bursements of July interest by the govern- ment—amounting to over twenty-five millions of coin—is to be accounted for only by the great disparity between our receipis and ex- ports of the precious metal. The war in Enrope last year stopped the usual outflow of transatlantic tourists from this country, and the peace this year doubles the number. The amount of gold thus taken out of the country* is no light affair, Figures show that there is about twenty millions less gold in the country now than there was a year ago.

In Pennsylvania the republicans are . all at sixes and sevens ; but while they are divided upon everything and everybody else they have at least a common rallying ground around General Grant and his administration. In Missouri they have been so cut up between Gratz Brown, Carl Schurz and General Frank Blair, that they are apparently gone beyond recovery. In Ohio and Illinois the free traders and civil service reformers and gen- eral amnesty guerillas, headed by such men as General Cox and Senator Trumbull, are making much mischief, As for General Logan, he, too, has an eye upon the White House, for he thinks one term enough for General Grant. Down in Maryland, and most of the other Southern States, they have several little clashing cliques, each claiming to bo the Simon Pure republicans. In fact, we doubt if there isa single State in which the republicans are a unit, unless it is the State of Kentucky, and there they have not the ghost of a chance for anything against the overwhelming democracy. But the wranglings and the divisions among the republicans of New York city and State are the most stupid, the most malignant and apparently the most hopeless of all the lot. The two principal factions of the party here are the insiders and the outsiders, headed, the one by Senator Conkling, the other by Senator Fenton, In the outset of General Grant's ad- ministration Senator Fenton got hold of the working wires of the New York Custom House, and then to Fenton and his confederates and his followers everything was lively at Wesh- ington, and General Grant was a model Presi- dent. But unfortunately Senator Fenton, in “cutting too much fat,” was found out, and so he fell from grace, and all his fatis in the fire. In fact, he and his retainers have been ban- ished from the Custom House and the door is shut against them, and so they have resolved that General Grant shall be reduced to one term, and that, if possible, Fenton or Greeley shall take his place, and that Conkling, who now is cheek by jow! with Collector Murphy, shall walk the plank. So they go. This New York Custom House, however, has become nothing but a box of Pandora to the party holding it. In 1853-54 there were in this city and State two factions among the democrats which absorbed the whole party— the hardshells and the softshells; andin the quarrelling of these hards and softs over the Custom House spoils and plunder they be- came each an independent party in the State elections, and so on the Custom House spoils question between the Bronson hardshell ticket and the Redfield softshell ticket they turned over the State to the common enemy. So it will most probably be with this republican split over the Custom House spoils. Of course the Tammany sachems are jubilant, for from present appearances they willcarry New York in November by at least fifty thousand majority. Senator Conkling, down at Long Branch, has been talking over these troubles with General Grant ; but we fear they are too much for Senator Conkling, and we fear that the only way whereby a Custom House treaty of peace can be made is the way of the Joint High Commission on those Alabama claims, Let this plan of arbitration be adopted, with a share of the spoils to Senator Fenton and a sop to Mr. Greeley and the country, and our precious institutions may be saved. Other- wise let General Grant prepare for a scrub race for the Presidential succession, with half a dozen Richmonds in the field. ‘‘The cohe- sive power of the public plunder” is well known, but its explosive power is awful, and here at once lie the safety and the danger of the constitution. The Connecticut Murder Trial—The Duty of Physicians. The testimony in the case of Mrs. Sherman, of Birmingham, Conn., charged with the murder of her husband and two stepchildren, shows that the three victims died at separate times of symptoms that the physicians attending them at once recognized as those of arsenical poisoning. The daughter, a girl of fifteen, died first, and the physicians suggested to Mr. Sherman, her father, that they ought to make a post-mortem examination, but he objected on the ground that he wanted to bury her on Sunday, although she had died only the day previous, The boy, a baby of eleven months, died next, but no post-mortem examination was made in his case either, and it was not, indeed, until six months after, and after Sherman himself had died with the same symptoms, that any post-mortem examination whatever was made. Without venturing to discuss the guilt or innocence of the accused, there is one thing made plainly evident by the testimony thus given, The post-mortem examinations should have been held at once, whether the father objected or not. The symptoms were such that suspicion of foul play was inevitably engendered in the minds of the physicians, and their duty to the community at large demanded that suspicion should be rendered a certainty or a nullity. No question of family consent or of medical etiquette should have been allowed to inter- fere in the matter. Indeed, it seems probable that had a post-mortem examination been held upon the body of the girl the other two mur- ders might have been averted, Tus Most Bravtiru.
