Dr. Karl Marx, the great chief of the Inter- national, is dead, as may be seen by our cable news from Europe.

They would, by pursuing such a course, bring to their support a large class of the community which is now alarmed at their dogmas and projects, and which resists their claims. If they were to adopt this line of conduct, and the statesmen of Europe who are at the helm of affairs would promptly concede the reforms needed and demanded, a terrible conflict might be avoided, liberty and progress might be advanced, and, in the end, republican Rejected communications will not be re- | classes in Europe.

These movements have led tothe creation of the International—to the organization and afiilia- tion of-societies in all the civilized countries of the world, and aggregating millions of men, for a common object. London appears to be the centre of this numerous and powerful organization. This is natural, for not only is the capital of Great Britain the most populous city in the world, but there the people have tho greatest liberty of speech and action. London, too, is the city of refuge for all proscribed revolutionists, poli- ticians and political writers, It is the cal- dron in which the advanced ideas of Europe are constantly fermenting. Paris is another centre, and in some respects a more active one than London. At least the International was seen more active there of late than else- where. This arose, probably, from the extra- ordinary state of things into which that city was thrown by the war and the revolution that followed. There is no doubt that it afilliated with, if it did not control, the Commune in the desperate struggle the latter made with the Thiers government. But it is evident the International has its ramifications in all the large cities of Europe as well as in the towas and rural districts. It has connections even Political inequality, oppression and starvation they will not endure. The sooner govern- ments understand this the better. The pro- gressive spirit of the age can no more be quenched than can the light of the sun extin- guished, The Democracy and the Presidential Can- didate. The Pittsburg Post, in behalf of the demo- cratic party, brings out General McClellan as an available man, The misfortune of General McClellan, however—which, we think, settles the case against him—ts that he has been tried in a race over the Presidential course, in which he was signally defeated. The prestige of defeat will not do. No man thinks of try- ing Horatio Seymour again because of his de- cisive defeat in 1868; and yet it was not more decisive than that of General McClellan in 1864, No, neither McClellan nor Seymour, nor any of the democratic old stagers of 1864 or 1868, will answer for 1872—such as Pendle- ton, Hendricks, English, Parker, Packer and Andy Johnson. They belong to an epoch that is past, and their whole record is identified with dead issues.

We cannot tell, The politicians have taken hold of the subject on both sides, and they are all slippery customers. Tur Reser Corron Loan—‘‘MonsieuR Tonson Come Acaty.”—The English holders of the rebel cotton loan bonds, to the extent of some ten millions of dollars thrown away, are, we perceive, still in the land of the living. It is announced from London that the committee of said bondbolders is about to publish its re- port and correspondence, by way, we suppose, of winding up the concern, The report, never- theless, will be interesting as a chapter of Eng- lish sympathy, ald and comfort to Jeff Davis; but we are quite sure that report and corre- spondence will furnish nothing more valuable for them than in any other part of the world. distinguished financier of the war for the The conservative or reactionary press of | Union, and the gallant and popular Union Europe is endeavoring to create alarm of this formidable society, and is calling earnestly upon the governments to crush it. The govera- ments, privileged classes and capitalists are in dread, and would willingly seize it by the throat if they dare and knew how to do so. But they are afraid to enter upon the strug- gle. To them the International is @ monstrous specire, visible everywhere, but intangible, and moving as irresistibly as the winds or currents of the ocean. Is it not the avenging Nemesis which has grown out of modern civilization to punish the oppression of the past, and to give to the mass of man- ‘ind ibis Aba Ng ages OF Ygnorance and darkness? At least such appears to be the fear of the governing few and the thought of the many. The International is the embodi- ment of the revolution which underlies all the governments and society of Europe—the po- litical, social and moral earthquake that has b-en breaking out and continues to break out in one spot or another as the elements prove favorable. The radicals of England, the ultra republicans and socialists of France, the Car- bonari of I'aly, the Fenians of Ireland, the republicans of Spain and Germany, mony of the most extensive workingmen's associations in all parts of the world, the revolutionary so- ciety of Russia, the women’s rights societies and nearly all revolutionary move- ments of the time, are connected, directly or indirecily, with the International. Though the International may act independently of some of these and be a distinct organization, they all are in sympathy one with the other. It is very well to talk about crushing the International, but not so easy todo so. The attempt might set Europe in a blaze of revo- lution. It might overturn the monarchies and inaugurate a reign of horrors more appalling than those in Paris lately or of the first French Revo'ution, Ideas and the aspirations of the masses, in ths age, cannot be crashed ont under the tread of colossal armies or by the repressive, reactionary measures of gov- ernment. Admitting that the character, object and conduct of the International have been mis- represented to some extent by the govern- ments of Europe, their agents and a reaction- ary press; that the International has been blackened by the advocates of despotism for political effect—we cannot close our eyes to the fact that this society holds some theories that may prove dangerous to order, progress and the rights of property. The dogmas of socialism and communism, which some of | the Internationals, at least, hold, could not advance the cause of civilization. The at- tempt to enforce them would prove as disas- trous as monarchical or military despotism, and would break up the whole framework of civilized society. Is there no middle course, then, between the impracticable theories of a Iarge number of the European revolutionists | and absolutism or class government? Let us | hope such a course may be found. A terrible | condict appears to be imminent, when the pro- phetic words of the great Napoleon, that | Europe would become either republican or | Cossack, may be fulfilled, statesmen and governments of Europe make lution, either anarcby may reign or liberty bo destroyed. t seems to us that Europe is marching toward republicanism; but if this should be resisted 4 (outrance by the so-called conservatives and reactionary governments, a republic very different to ours, republics that would lead to destruction and horrors and those based on socialism, might be inaugu- rated, To escape this dilemma the Internationals and all the republicans of Europe should drop their socialist and communist theories, should than its practical illustrations on a large scale And unless the | timely concessions and wisely guide the revo- | under no circumstances be destructives, and should confine themselves to political objects soldier whose services in the field, especially in the grand campaigninto and from the Wilder- ness, can never be forgotten. This is the ticket for the democracy on their new departure; and they would not be so perplexed as they are to-day about their ticket had they tried the Chief Justice in 1868, AvNoTHER MarpraoricE Dey has been brought into public aotice by reason of the death of another victim. A young woman, named Mary Russell, died at her brother-in-law’s house, No. 21 Ridge street, yesterday, having first confessed that she was suffering from an_ operation, performed _unan hee he ~ hirs. Burns, who ‘eeps in Clinton street, In this case the police, having sufficient clue to work on, have arrested every one concerned— the seducer of the girl, one Henry Pullen, of No. 101 East Broadway, who is also charged with having induced her to go to Mrs, Burns; a girl named Nelly Ryan, who went with Mary Russell to the den and remained In the house, it is believed, while the crime was committed ; and Mrs. Burns, the female ‘‘doc- tor” herself, who was found in her country resi- dence on Long Island, where she was attend- ing three or four other girls who were living with her in order evidently to receive the benefit of similar medical services. These are the ones whose deeds make up the sum of guilt that led to Mary Russell’s death, and the Jaw will find material among them for testing and trying all the phases ard degrees of com- plicity in the crime. Tne Forton Ferry Company bas paid no attention to the notice of encroachment sent to its Superintendent recently by the Street Commissioner of Brooklyn, informing him that the new ferry house at Fulton street, Brooklyn, encroached upon the street. The Corporation Counsel has now advised the Street Commissioner that unless the obstruc- tions are yemoved within five days a force ought to be sent to demolish the structure, It is well to give these tyrannical corporations a hearty lesson now and then, if only to re- mind them that the people are sovereign; but it is a pity to pull down so handsome and well appointed a ferry house as the company has nearly compleied. The fact that they have provided chains to restrain the hurrying crowd that rushes to get on the incoming boat before it is locked to the bridze or the crowd is safely off her ought to serve as a mitigating circumstance, although the lesson, sternly and strictly administered, is like'y to result in excellent fruits. Tue Masonry or THE Ferenc AssEmBiy does not relish the idea of transferring its seat to Paris. It is probably haunted by appre- | hensions of the fate that befell the Corps | Législatif after the collapse of the empire. The revolutionary spirit of Belleville and Montmartre, so the majority argues, may | break out again and the sovereign Assembly be at the mercy of any mob that might suc- cessfully invade it, If the National Assembly | Values its safety so much it had better remain | at Versailles, for Paris is a volcano always | ready for explosion, Yet it is doubtful whether the real capital of France will quietly | resign herself to being decapitated and super- seded by Versailles. The refusal of the As- | sembly, when at Bordeaux, to sit in Paris | was one of the principal causes that led to the Commune. So between the two evils the least the Assembly could choose would be, perhaps, its removal to Paris, Tne Paterson Common Covuncit must be a bright body of men, There is a tie vote be- tween the two parties composing it, and the other night, on a question of suspending all street operations until a republican Superin- tendent of Streets is appointed, one of the democratic Aldermen voted with the republi- cans, through mistake, as he claims, being of the truth of the old maxim that ‘the fool | only.

The best haters of Napoleon III. are always prepared to credit him with one good act: “He made Paris the most magnificent city in the world.” He may have cheated the people; he may have set back the cause of republican- ism in Europe half a century; he may have been selfish, tyrannical, unscrupulous; but he swept away the dark, narrow passages, the foul gutters, the uncouth cobblestones, the filth, impurity and disease of old Paris, and gave to the Parisians in their stead broad avenues, picturesque parks, matchless roads, fine structures, light, cleanliness and health. For these boons he receives blessings from many and commendations from all, even now that the hour of his pride and power has, per- haps, forever passed away. We are told that the evil that men do lives after them, while the good is oft interred with their bones; but the refugee of Chiselhurst is a living proof that at least after a political interment a man’s good deeds may survive and be remembered to his credit. New York, old New York, is sadly in need of a Napoleon, and it is to be hoped that the historical fact we have here put on record may incite some of our ambi- tious municipal rulers to follow the example of the ex-Emperor, and, like him, to leave one bright line to be inscribed upon their political tombstones. Modern New York, thanks to our Park Commissioners, promises to be all that can be desired. Our new boulevards and our Central Park give assurance that the upper part of the city will, in a few years, outrival even Paris before the Commune in healthfulness and beauty. In the older portions of the me- tropolis the altered condition of the Battery and of the downtown parks affords us a slight conception of the improvements which may yet be secured by enter- prise and energy. But much remains to be accomplished. The horrible con- dition of a majority of the thoroughfares in the most frequented parts of the city, the filthy streets, the dilapidated roads, are a scandal to the country. No great cily in Europe is disgraced by such marks of penu- rionsness and neglect, Any half doz2n New York avenues, taken at hazard, will furnish evidence of as many differant jobs in paving, outrivalling each other in badness. To. drive across town is to risk life and limb, to say nothing of the less important considerations of wheels, springs and horseflesh, To walk through many of our most public streets is to encounter odors which defy the principles of hygiene and hold out the promise of a rich harvest to cholera and fever. London, not- withstanding its magnitude, is everywhere well paved and almost everywhere well cleansed. Paris, despite its crowded popula- tion and its system of ‘‘flats,” has good roads and clean streets. Berlin also can boast of well-kept roads and streets. Yet not one of these great cities possesses more enterprise and liberality than New York, and not one has so much to hope for in the future. There is no good reason why the metropolis of the Western Continent should Not surpass them all fe tweety wut VUUrIVal them ant ia the condition of her roads and in ber general sanitary arrangements. It is the peculiar privilege of New Yorkers to grumble and growl over alleged municipal extrava- gance and corruption; but we do not believe one citizen out of ten thousand would object to being taxed far more heavily than he has ever yet been taxed to secure a thorough reform in the paving and cleaning of the streets, This is the direction to which our municipal rulers should now turo their thoughts. Let them study the condition of European cities and compare their systems of paving and cleansing with our own; let them go resolutely to work to give us gond, clean thoroughfares in every direction at any reasonable cost, including royalties and percentages, and we can promise them that even should they fall before the assaults of out-of-office reformers they will at least enjoy the satisfaction of extorting a good word from their enemies after they shall have retired to the shades of private life. An Anti-DramsHop Coyvention is called to meet in Syracuse to-day. About this time every year a batch of cold water philosophers gather together and put themselves in the way of attracting the attention of political parties for the purpose of selling out to the highest bidder. There is, no doubt, a large number of sincere temperance men in this State whose opinions should command respect; but when they suffer themselves to be led by the nose by a set of peddling demagogues and lantern-jawed ranters, in and out of petticoats, they fritter away their strength, and all their noble and philanthropic intentions come to naught. What is wanted to aid in a sound temperance movement is the example of the leading men of the day—not only politicians, in the strict meaning of that term, but states- men, professional men, prominent merchants, master mechanics, clergymen and all who are in a position to exercise a commanding influence in society, Let such men go to work, and, in addition to their example, secure by legislation all that legislation can secure in the matter of ridding the community of the scourge of intemperance which now so terribly afflicts it. Tur Democratic Con@ressionat CoMmMIT- rTeE has become frightened at the brochure entitled ‘Concession, or How the Lost Cause May be Regained and the Independence of the South Secured,” which was published in the HERALD some days ago. The committee claims that the radicals got it up to disgust the new departure democrats; but that can hardly be, for Alex. Stephens, certainly a Bourbon democrat of the first water, was bim- self disgusted with it, and indignantly denied its authorship. Divorce Rererges.—So far as Judge Bar- nard is concerned he bas decided against these referees, and that divorce cases coming before him shall be settled in open court; and some years’ experience in these referees fully justifies this open court system as really necessary for the security of innocent and unsuspecting parties against outrageous frauds.

It is impossible not to see in the disturbances which have lately occurred in Irefand something more than the outbreak of transfent popular passion. For some time English statesmen and publicists have been busily engaged con- vincing the world that all the oppressions and grievances of which Irishmen complained tn the past had been removed. But in spite of the assurances of English officials the temper of the Irish people towards Enzland seems daily to become more hostile and the desire for separation more pronounced. Whatever the cause or the effect of the late colll- sions with the Dublin police, there can be no mistaking the determined spirit of resistance to English power which they evince, That the struggle in the streets of Dublin did not take greater proportions nor end with any known loss of life is due to the extraordinary forbearance of the authorities in not calling out the military, and to the want of arms on the part of the people, No doubt the slowness of the authorities in Dublin Castle to employ the soldiery was dictated by prudential reasons, as a massacre in the streets of an unarmed crowd would only serve to further embitter the Irish mind and perhaps lead to deplorable conflicts all over the country. Accustomed to judge the depth and reality of the sentiment of Irish nationaliiy by the conduct of certain Fenian leaders in this coun- try, the American p2ople have not fully recog- nized the intensity of the desire in Ireland for self-government. Misrepresented by the all- powerful English press, the real sentiments of the Irish people were unknown until the Irish republican movement, which culminated in the abortive attempt at insurrection in 1867, re- vealed the true state of popular feeling. Feeble and badly organized as was the insur- rection on the 7th of March, 1867, it proved the readiness with which thousands of men in all parts of the country were ready to risk their lives for the overthrow of English power. Want of arms and the absence of competent leaders prevented the insurrection of 1867 from taking dangerous proportions; but the English government, in spite of its assurances to the contrary, were frightened at the danger they had escaped. Though the resulis of the last Irish move- ment, in a military point of view, were unim- portant, its political effects were very great. The fall of the alien Church establishment and changes in the land laws, that had been per- sistently and scornfully refused to the peaceful demands of the Irish people, were hastily granted to the men who had burned powder and sullenly announced their intention to burn more unless their demands were acceded to, Even the concessions offered by the English Parliament were rejected as insufficient, and the demand was then publicly made that Eng- land should prove the reality of her desire to conciliate Ireland by releasing the political prisoners, It had been admitted by Mr. Glad- stone, in the House of Commons, that had it not been for the action of the Irish national party and the anxiety of the English people to avoid acivil war the passage of the Church and Land bills would have been impossible. Dis- ravi, In Dis place in tne x1uuse, had de- clared that the oppressions suffered by the Irish people more than justified rebel- lion, In presence of this testimony the people demanded that the political prison- ers, who had only done their duty in endeavor- ing to redress the wrongs of their country, should be released, as a pledze that henc forth Ireland should be governed according to the will of her people. The answer was a refusal, and a threatening howl from the English press, which elicited a prompt defiance from the Irish masses, The secret revolutionary organization known as the I. R. B. was supposed to have been com- pletely crushed by the failure of the 1867 movement, and the announcement was more than once triumphantly made by Her Britan- nic Majesty's Ministers that ‘‘Fenianism”—by which foreign term was meant the organized Trish national movement—was dead. It was, therefore, with considerable surprise and un- easiness that the government saw the amnesty movement organized, and hundreds of thou- sands of stalwart men assembled at the bidding of a few leaders without name or position. Evidences of genera! organization proved that the revolutionary body was not by any means dead, and that it was controlled by a power which kept itself carefully from the public view. As, however, the language of all these vast assemblages was respectful, though firm, they afforded no ground for complaint, and the government took the oppor- tunity ina short time after to release a large number of the political prisoners, Unfor- tunately, the resolution to continue the punish- ment of a part of the prisoners, while the ac- knowledged chiefs of the conspiracy were set at liberty, destroyed all sense of gratitude in the popular mind, and the present troubles have grown out of the resolution of the people to insist on the release of the remaining prisoners, It is evident, from the temper shown by the people, that England must make up her mind to grant such large and liberal concessions as shall satisfy the Irish people. Things cannot remain as they are, with a nation in a state of chronic rebellion, without eventually leading to formidable civil war. Wedo not see what England has to gain in a struggle with Ire- land, and there are many reasons why it would be her interest to avoid civil strife, by restoring to the Irish people their independent Parliament, of which they were deprived, in breach of a most solemn compact, by treachery, force and fraud. Among the nationalists there is a large and influential class who strongly deprecate hav- ing recourse to physical force unless all other means fail; but, owing to the little attention paid to Irish demands in the English Parlia- ment this peace party exercises but little in- fluence over the masses, If England were wise she would see that her true interest lies in encouraging the repeal movement and pre- paring to make the best possible terms with the Irish nation. In these days it is no longer possible to suppress opinions with bayonets, and every year seems to add intensity to the natural desire of the Irish people for self-gov- ernment, England has eo long tried unsuc- cessfully to crush out the spirit of nationality in Ireland by force that she ought to be con- vinced that she can never succeed. True statesmanship would point to an al- lignce of the two people, based upon mutual ws Interes.’s and a complete forgetfulaess of the past. Un.'e8s some aolution that will satisfy the Irish peo, "!e be found England is likely to find herself serk.%3!y embarrassed in the next foreign war; and a.* P?4ce is not likely to be eternal, England won.'d do well to put her house in order, or, like .*omba at Naplea, her tardy concessions may come 00 late, Uta Troubles. A telegram in yesterday's Heearp from our special correspondent at Salt Lake, again apprises us of threatened forthcoming trouble: with Brigham Young's Territorial officers,\ over the old wrangle of disputed jurisdiction, | It seems as if *‘the Old Man of the Mountains™ meant to fight every step of the federal gov- ernment for supremacy in Utah, During the last twelve months the Supreme Court there has decided, with perfect una- nimity, in every instance, against the Territo- rial Legislature's election of officers who have heretofore usurped the offices in that Territory which were filled by the appoint- ment of tho President and confirmed by the Senate. Notwithstanding all this ex- perience, the last of the Territorial creations that is left to Brigham, the Warden of the Penitentiary, repeats the same offence as the other Territorial officers, and withstands the officers of the government and forces one of the federal Judges to hold the Territorial Mar- shal and the Territorial Warden both to bail for their appearance at the next term of Court, “for resisting United States officers and con- cezling prisoners.” Brigham has had things so long his own way in that country that he is only now, and very slowly, awakening to the realization of the fact that thera may be a government over this nation and that Utah may be a part of the republic. It is to be hoped that the next Congress will take such proper steps as will press this home upon his mind and place this Utah trouble forever out of the list of periodical uprisings, and make the Prophet fully realize that he can enjoy any shade of Christian faith be prefers, but that in the last half of the nineteenth century the barbarisms and despotisms of the far-gone past cannot be repeated even in Utah, This Territory is now attracting the capital of Europe as well as of our own country, and there is gathering into the mountains of the Great Basin a large and respectable body of emigrants, who must be protected. Besider, hundreds of thousands of persons are annu- ally passing from sea to sea aud calling in at Salt Lake City. There should be no longer tolerance for this dualistic farce, which hae thrown upon the government derision, perilled capital and engendered fanaticism, It is vory gratifying tolearn that the federal officers are united in dealing with this folly. Backed, as we are assured they will be, by tha power of the nation, these oflicers have only to advance with a firm step, affording the fanatical no groundwork to cry out ‘‘Persecu- tion!” and the-work will ba speedily and well doue. Our correspondent’s letter in thts morning’s issue is a stray page of the dark history that has marked the existence of the Mormons in isolation, and it is much to be desired that the notorious murderer Hickman will make a clean breast of it and reveal the damning facts that have banished Mormonism from Christendom, The Autumual Milirnry England, Since Germany began to reveal her saperior military organization and discipline on tie field of battle England has been turning her attention to herarmy, The British govern- ment is eternally pottering with the army and navy—particularly with the navy; and yet, when a great crisis arises in which the army or navy is needed or expected to be needed, it is invariably found that the army and navy are not ready for immediate action.

According to a new arrangement a force of thirteen thousand men marched frou the camp at Aldershot te Sindyburst, where they pitched tents, cooked and ate a meal, and rested fora time, Tents were then strack and the troops returned cheerfully to Alder- shot. The distance accomplished was eighteen miles. All this is well; but we expect greater things than these under the newsys- tem. Why should not the S:cretary of War make a sham fight of the imaginary Bit!le of Dorking? It would bea real sensation, and it would be much better for the soldiers thia this idle wandering and cooking and restinz. The Battle of Dorking is as yot only a dream. It may hereafter be a reality. Meanwhile, the soldiers might do worse than make themselves familiar with the ground, Manenvros in Tue Wyomine Exnrction is remarkable merely because there are women voters in (bab Territory.
