YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER. 5, ,1871.-TRIPLE SHERT,, ; Tee Useettied Condities of France—Tho Terrible Spectre of the Isternaticoal. In addition to our special despatch detailing the ominous popular distarbances which on Sunday and all Sunday night last agitated the city of Dublin, we give another to our readers this morning, which conveys a vivid ides of the present unsettled, gloomy and revolation- ary condition of France—poor France. Our correspondent on this aubject says that Paris is occupied by sixty thousand troops, which are constantly patrolling the city; that the government is Informed of an intended demon- stration on the 4th inst, (yesterday) of the International; that stringent orders have been given for its absolute suppression, and that Lyons, Marseilles and Bordeaux are filled with It is, then, the terrible spectre of the Inter- national which bas frightened the Thiers gov- ernment into these suggestive precautionary measures which look like the preparations for grappling with an extensive revolutionary rising. It was supposed that in the bloody suppression of the Paris Commune the radical revolutionary elements of Paris and of France, if not utterly extinguished, had been so severely crippled and so com- pletely demoralized that, perhaps for years to come, they would be powerless to disturb the established order of things in the French capital or the provinces. But the slaughter of thirty thousand Communists in the suburbs and within the walls of Paris, the capture of many thousands as prisoners of State, and the dispersion beyond the borders of France of many thousands more, have evidently failed to shake the powerful organization of the dreaded International, even in Paris. If we measure the danger in that revolutionary stronghold, which menaces the Versailles government, by the strength of the army of observation of sixty thousand men within the city, the danger must be very great, And when, in this con- nection, we are told that Lyons, Marseilles and Bordeaux are also filled with troops we are told that the danger which overhangs Paris overshadows Franco. What, then, is this dreaded International ? It is a protective organization of workingmen of a political character, embracing all the countries of Europe and largely represented by its sections in the United States. Its po-_ litical programme is hardly less radical in its revolutionary objects than the programme of the Paris Commune, though the expression of its countenance is com- paratively that of innocence of any wicked designs. But the Commie was largely composed of members of the Ieternational, The leaders of the Commune were working, as an independent organization, on a more ultra revolutionary platform than that of the International; but the fighting ‘Communists were mostly of the International Brotherhood. The Commune is suppressed, but the International survives; and the merci: less “‘stamping out” of the Commune has apparently created a deadly spirit of ven- geance in the International. It appeara, too, that this fearful organization, present every- where, and openly proclaiming itself and its purposes everywhere, but nowhere visible to the naked eye, is ready for action, and, from the repressive measures adopted by President Thiers, is recognized as holding the balance of political power in France against Bour- bons, Bonapartists or conservative republi- cans of the neutral school of Thiers. Here, then, we have the secret of the con- tinuance of the Thiers government by the present French Assembly. The different anti- radical parties of that Assembly—Bourbons, Bonapartists and conservative republicans— have, first of all, a common cause against the radicals, They each fear Gambetta and the Jacobin elemeats behind him more than they fear each other. The Bourbons shrink from their grand design and desire of the restoration of their bouse, because they fear a combination of imperialists and radi- cals which will put them down. The Bonapartists, comparatively weak in the Assembly, are strong in the army, and are biding their time. The conservative republi- cans are powerless upon their own resources, and so, for the present, through President Thiers, they are balancing between legitimists and imperialists, after the style of the monkey in the fable weighing out the cheese between the two cats. And so the moderate men of all parties in the present “Long Parliament” of France prefer rather to bear yet awhile with the ills they have “‘than fly to others that they kuow not of,” but which they have rea- son to fear may destroy them. But how long can the managers of this French government pro fem. maintain them- selves under this unsatisfactory and precari- ous state of thinss? Their object is to gain time; but are they not losing time? Their great admitted danger is the International ; but can they expect the International to become weaker from the delay of ‘‘the powers that be” in establishing for France a regular and responsible government? Is not the International becoming stronger in France, and more thoroughly organized for an expected opportunity, from thisdelay? We think it is; and yet the confidence of the French people, as manifested in their unstinted and amazing supplies of money to their present government, would seem to indi- cate that there would really be no danger if Protector Thiers and his Assembly would only boldly strike out for kingdom, empire or republic, ia an appeal to the army or the people, The danger to France lies in the hesitating and temporizing policy pursued by President Thiers. It reminds us of the timid, time-serv- ing and vacillating policy of President Bu- cbhanan in the Incipient stages of our late Southern rebellion, He had the good effects of the good example of President Jackson before him in reference to the old South Caro- lina nullification movement; but Buchanan lacked the moral courage and decisive charac- ter of Jackson, and these deficiencies in poor “Old Buck” made the opening which has given us General Grant, It may be said that even Jackson, in Buchanan's place, could not have “snuffed out” our late Southern rebellion, but that any repressive measures on his part would only have precipitated the irrepressible and inevitable conflict on the slavery question, and that, once begun, the fight would have been, under any Presi- dent, fought through to its foreordained con- clusion—the extinction of Southera slavery. Admitting all this, however, we think that our late Southern confederacy and its corner stone of African slavery would have had but a brief existence and a comparatively bloodless over- throw bad Buchanan been a man of the courageous and decisive character of Jackson. So now we apprehend that President Thiers is playing the negative, timid, temporizing rile of Buchanan, when he should be illus- trating the positive and decisive qualities of General Jackson, It was the delay of the over-cautious Thiers in his terrible conflict with the Paris Commune that made that con- flict so bloody to both sides, so disastrous to Paris, and so damaging in its barbarities to the boasted ‘‘capital of oivilization.” And, yet again, in these imposing collections of repressive troops in Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux and Marseilles against the Iaternational, the real difficulty is not met, and the International is not disarmed. The difficulty is the absence of a fixed and responsible government for France; and where this difficulty remains the invitation remaina to the International to prepare for its opportunity. A coup d'état would be better for France than this state of uncertainty, insecurity and danger; bat an appeal to the French people for the election of what we would call a Constitutional Conven- tion would be better than a coup détat. Here, we believe, indeed, lies the only hope of internal peace to France, in the reconstruc- tion of her goverament, an appeal to the people; and we believe, too, that the longer this appeal is delayed the greater will be the danger to the general cause of law and order for Paris and for France. Mr. Gladstone on England and America Prime Minister Gladstone, as will be seen from a cable despatch which we print this morning, has been making a speech at Whitby. In the course of his speech he took occasion to refer to the Treaty of Washington, expressing his joy that Englishmen can now look upon Americans as friends, and that presamably all controversies between the two peoples were settled. This is the popular language of the hour, The Marquis of Ripon has recently been speaking in a similar strain. In our col- umns yesterday we gave an extract from a speech delivered quite recently by Sir Stafford Northeote to the Exeter Workingmen’s Con- servative Union, the members of which to the number of six thousand had by invitation met at The Pynes, Sir Stafford's Devonshire seat. Sir Stafford, although a tory of the tories, was a member of the Joint High Commission, and his admiration of America and the Americans fs not less enthusiastic than that of Mr. Glad- stone or the Marquis of Ripon. Americans who are now or who have re- cently been in Eugland have been talking in similar strains. It is evident that the Wash- ington Treaty has introduced an era of good feeling, and we sre not permitted to doubt that the good wishes expressed so freely by prominent men on both sides are truthful and sincere. We cannot refuse to admit that all this is well. It would be a world-wide calamity if Great Britain and the United States of America should go to war. It would be a family feud; and family feuds, as our own late civil war and the recent troubles in France have taught us, are of all feuds the most bloody and the most destructive. There is no good reason why North and South should not unite in working out the destinies of the greatest republic the world has yet known. There is as little reason why the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon family should not unite and do for the greatest existing race what we ourselves on these shores are doing for the greatest existing nation. Great Britain is removed from the turmoil of European trouble. We are removed from the turmoil of the world. Great Britain and America con- stitute the advanced gnard of civilization. Hand in hand it is our privilege to go forward as the benefactors of mankind. Divided we shall lose our vantage ground, and our work will be undertaken by others. The Washing- ton Treaty will live in history, and so long as the Washington Treaty shall be remembered the names of President Grant and Premier Gladstone will be mentioned with pride. The News from Spain, Affairs in Spain are taking quite a prosper- ous turn. Our special despatch, which gave the first account of the triumphal progress of King Amadeus through the Spanish provinces, is fully confirmed by to-day’s cable report. When we consider that Amadeus scarce one year ago was completely a stranger to the Spaniards, and on his arrival received with cold looks, by many even with undisguised aversion, we cannot help wondering at the complete revolution of sentiment which the King has brought about in his favor; for the fact that be has won the hearts of the large majority, which but a short time ago looked upon him as an alien and intruder, cannot be disputed. It must be likewise a subject of congratulation to the Spaniards that they have found in Ama- deus a far better King than they expected, under whose liberal rule Spain may yet be restored to something of her former gran- deur. It is already a hopeful sign that a nation that had been plunged into desperate financial ruin should make a grand effort to evolve from her chaotic condition. Toward this end have been directed the energies of the present government, which has already promised to equalize the revenue and expenditure of the country. Spain can never hope to attain the foremost position she once occupied in the world, although ber people still possess many elements of greatness; but if Spaniards re- main true to themselves their country may yetenjoy the blessings of peace and prosperity. Tue Perry-Van Buskirk MALpracticg Casg, in Brooklyn, was concluded yesterday, and the prisoners were held to await the action of the Grand Jury, the Judge resolutely re- fusing to accept bail. Judze Troy, in his charge to the Grand Jury, spoke very strongly relative to these cases, and it is probable that we shall have a good precedent from Brooklyn on the subject before the case of Rosenzwei3 comes up for final settlement, Juper Barnarp has ordered that in future divorce cases coming before his Court will not be referred, but will be heard in open Court. Such an order as this is more likely to make husbands and wives bear their ills compla- cently or live together in harmony than any social agitation that hag obtained lately. Art Patronage. There is no subject more intimately con- nected with the progress of art in any country than the question of patronage, for on the nature of the support given by the public will ina great measure depend the quality of the art produced. It is an error to imagine that art pursues its way independent of all lower influences, soaring constantly into the regions of higher thought. Unfortunately, artists are very much like other people, only endowed with finer sensibilities and often cursed with greater weaknesses. And no matter how much their sense of what is right may be out- raged In catering for public taste, their opin- fons must be subordinated to the two great alms of modern life—to live aod get rich. If fame and wealth can be acquired by sacrificing the fature to the present, how many will have strength to resist the temptation? Whatever may be an artist's power, unless he can accom- modate himself to the tastes and prejudices of his time he must fail from a worldly point of view. There are few men with safficient moral strength to throw away a living and enjoyable fame for a shadowy uncertainty in the future. When the mode of human life was simpler, and men had few wants, it was, perhaps, pos- sible to devote one’s self to the pursuit of high art with a certain independence of popu- lar opinion; but to-day patronage can no longer be dispensed with. Few men are pre- pared to imitate Barry's sublime devotion, or, as some have it, folly, and perish of hunger while struggling against the adverse decision of a corrupt public taste. Nowadays people have so much common sense that they compro- mise with their strongest convictions, and accept what appears to be inevitable. The influence of public opinion on art during such an accommodating period cannot fail to be marked, and we have men of. undoubted power, like Frith, casting them- selves down and worshipping in the dust the fdol that brings gold to its votaries. Here we have an excellent example of the power of patronage over art in tempting men with really noble powers from the higher paths to make them minister to the corrupted taste of the times. Year after year we see paintings witkont aim or lesson come from Mr. Frith’s easel to be received with acclama- tion by the public, whose vanity is flattered at seeing its own shadow cast upon the canvas, Wonderful as most of these paintings are from the technical point of view, there is little thought behind them, and we have to regret the waste of powers that might bave produced something worthy to live forever. Patronage, to be useful to the higher interest of art, must be dispensed with knowledge and discrimination, so that artists shall be con- vinced that their only hope of saccess shall in future be in conscientious work. At present we fear that not so much attention is paid by a large class of purchasers to the artist's work as to his reputation, and this roaning after fashionable artists is as much the result of ignorance as of taste. Unable often to distinguish a good work froma bad one, the patron sees his only guide, and it is not a bad one, in an artist's reputation. No doubt it is wiser for a man with money and without taste to place himself in the hands of a popular artist, than to trust himself to the tender mer- cies of picture dealers; but we quarrel with the custom on public grounds. Once an artist feels that his name is sufficient to sell his work, independent of its intrinsic. value, the chances are that he will be tempted to neglect the careful, conscientious execution that made his reputation. Tuere is another and infinitely more injurions patronage ex- tended to men of mediocre talent, or of no talent at all, by the influence of cliques and coteries, who take up certain unappreciated genius that is sure to be the victim of the malignant envy of his brother artists. Did we not know how successful humbug and impositions of all — kinds are with the simple, good-natured public, we might be astonished at the wonderful reputation enjoyed in small circles by men of genius whom an ungrateful world ignores. Some people seem to forget that we live In an age where talent is a commodity that the public are only too willing to pay for, and that it is no longer possible for a man to have real genius and remain unknown in the domain of art. In order to encourage art intelligently it is necessary to possess a large amount of tech- nical knowledge, combined with refinement of feeling and love of what is beautiful and true, These conditions are so seldom found com- bined, even in people of the highest culture, that it is no wonder the majority of those who buy art works do so with the vaguest ideas as to what cohstitutes their real beauty and value, If paintings and sculpture were only pur- chased by people of esthetic taste from pure love of art, the number of our artists would be very much diminished, and, we feel compelled to add, their quality greatly improved. As long as mediocre works find a ready sale among aclass in the community who have money and vanity and little else, we shall continue to be afflicted by the presence of gaudy clap-trap paintings intended for this class of buyers. It is absolutely painful “sometimes to find one’s self in the gallery of people without taste, and to be obliged by politeness to look solemn while the proud possessor eagerly exhibile yards of painted rubbish. To this class of patrons it is that we owe the existence of flashy salerooms where sham art woiks are disposed of to silly people, who really deserve to be punished for their want of taste. How any one who ever saw a bit of sky, or enjoyed the bright, peaceful sun in the verdant fields, can buy the unnatural looking wooden daubs to be found in these places must remain a puzzle. One of the most important questions affect- ing the future of art in America is how to lessen the evil influences of the abuses we have glanced at, No doubt increase of know- ledge will bring with it a purer and more elevated taste ; but it depends very much on those who desire the development of art feeling whether the change will come in our time or not. After all, the principal cure lies in the hands of the rich; if they would only use more discrimination in their patronage a great improvement would soon manifest itself, In cases where a person feels a want of taste or knowledge he should consult some friend upon whose judgment re- liance could be ~ placed. But, above ell things, the patrons of American art ought to insist on consctentious work and « choice of noble and elevating subjects. Art, which aims at nothing but the cunning repro- duction of some material form or color, fails in its great aim, which is, to suggest noble and elevating thoughts, Art that speaks not to the soul is dead and worthless. But when it conveys to the mind lessons of love and hope, and tells us of the eternal grandeur of the Creator, we feel our souls moved to higher aspirations. This is the mission of that high art which we desire to see encouraged and de- veloped among us, shadowing forth the noble thoughts of noble men and awakening within us an enthusiasm for whatever is beautiful and true in creation, The Coal Fields of Euginad. It will be remembered by our readers that Mr. Gladstone and Mr, Mill startled the Brit- ish House of Commons, and, indeed, the whole empire, by urging the payment of the national debt while the country was able to pay it. The coal fields were rapidly being exhausted. A royal commission was about that time ap- pointed to investigate and report. The report is in the last degree discouraging to those who hope for the continued prosperity of the Brit- ish Isles. Muking allowance for waste, it is estimated that there are accessible, or may be 80, 90,207,000,000 tons of coal—in other words, that every householder in Britain has “potentially” 88,000 tons in his cellar. These figures concern solely the coal flelds lying above the permian old red sandstone and other contiguous formations, Under the permian formation, at a depth of 4,000 feet, it is esti- mated that 56,273,000,000 tons might be dug. The total available for use does not exceed 146,480,000,000 tons, At the present rate. of consumption and increase of consump- tion this would last only 110 years. Mr. Price Williams makes the assumption that the maxi- mam consumption of coal per head has been reached, and that as the consumption of coal for the future will: follow # diminishing ratio there will be coal enough to last for 386 Years. The two extreme estimates are 360 years and 110 years, It is not to be forgotten that 56,273,000,000 of the whole 146,480,000,000 lies at the depth of 4,000 feet; and it has yet to be proved whether, in consequence of the excessive heat at this depth, the coal could be dug. The deepest mine in England to-day is that of Rosebridge, near Wigan, which is 2,376, feet from bank to “agump.” We have no means of knowing whether the miner could live and work at a greater depth. It ts calculated that ata depth of 3,240 feet, with present appliances for ven- tilation, the temperature would rige to ninety- eight degrees, or blood heat, ‘To say the least, work at such a depth would not be comfortable, All things considered the pros- pect is not bright for England. Coal has been to her more precious than gold. Unless science comes to the aid of the British people their glory four hundred years hence will have departed, and our children of the tenth or twelfth generation will be able to speak with- out joking of sending coals to Newcastle, Tae Riot in Dupin was continued on Sunday night with desperate fury. According to our special despatch the fight assumed ter- tible proportions, The police were at different times completely overpowered by “the crowd and had to retire into their barracks for safety, It is fortunate that the military was not called upon to interfere, for the slaughter would have been fearful. What will be the upshot of this riot? For the present it will certainly not lead to the liberation of the Fenian prisoners, for which it was avowedly intended. If it will do nothing else, it may arouse the British government to a sense of danger. Tite Demooratio Stare ComMitrer meets in Albany to-morrow. It will, no doubt, be a very interesting sitting. The wires will have to be arranged for the next State Convention, and some of the planks seasoned for the forth- coming platform, Whether that will or will not be of the ‘‘new departure” pattern is a du- bious matter. That departure cuts like a two- edged sword. The subject of the republican fightin the citadel of the democracy—New York city—against Tammany may come In for a share of the Committee's deliberations. As a skirmish before the general action of the State Convention this meeting of the Central Committee to-morrow ts invested with more than usual interest. Oor St. PrrersBura CorresponpENor sete right the various rumors regarding the recall of Minister Catacazy which have been pub- lisbed recently. It appears that the relations between Swcretary Fish and Minister Catacazy were unpleastnt, and the former asked for the Minister's recall, but, in the absence of Prince Gortchakoff, the acting Premier of Russia de- clined to recallhim. In the meantime Minister Catacazy, in view of the unpleasant relations here, asked to be recalled; but his request is not likely to be complied with, at least until the viait of Prince Alexis is over. Tue Westourster Granp Jury have re- ported upon the Sing Sing escape and find nobody to blame therefor, although they state that there are not guards enough for the large number of prisoners, and that too many pris- oners are allowed to loiter unattended about the wharves.
