A Great ToRNaDo, accompanied by a heavy rain, visited the Hawaiian islands, on the 9th of August, causing immense damage to houses and crops. Tae Wasnixeton Avtnoritizs have deter- mined to suppress all bawdy houses in that elty at once, only giving the proprietors notice to quit. One good effect of independent legis- lation in the District. Tae New Jersey REPUBLICANS have com- menced’ their campaign with earnest zeal, General Kilpatrick, the defeated candidate, has telegraphed his hearty congratulations to Cornelius Walsh, the successful one, and everything is harmonious and promising, As To Pracixnc Sovrn Caroutna UNDER Makrtiat Law, President Grant says nothing will be done at once, because there are fur- ther developments to come, many of them con- tradicting the staiements made in Senator Scott's report. Brn BurLer made a speech at Milford, Mass., last night, which was interrupted by cat-calls and hisses during the greater part of its delivery. The novelty of Ben's address is wearing off now, and peop!e are beginning to weigh him impartially. A Bia Derecation of Southern editors called upon President Grant yesterday and grumbled about the lack of patronage for their papers. The President listened to the grum- blers with his customary complacence, and, naturally enough, gave them no very cheering answer. ps Tux Mourper ar tug Catepoyian Prowio in Jones’ Wood, on Thursday night, was one of the most unprovoked homicides that the records of crime in this city have shown for many a day. The murderer escaped, and is still at large. It ought to be easy enough for the police to secure the young roffians that thus brought ghastly murder into the pleasant enjoyment of a happy festival, and we insist apon their exerting their detective powers to some purpose in this case, Don Carios 1s Derermingp, according to a special despatch to the Heratp from Madrid, to avail himself of the opportunities offered by the amnesty granted to the Carlists by the King of Spain. He bas summoned all bis adherents, and sent a circular to the refugees, inviting them all to return to Spain immediately. Sefior Carlos probably intends to take advantage of the time occupied by the king in travelling, and prepare for a general rising against the government of the young king. He had better beware. Prim's fate is still fresh in the memory of the Spanish people, and Carlos should profit by it. The refugees are rapidly repatriating, Bayonne asd other towzs beinz crewed, ‘Tammany’s Danger and Its Opportunity— The Step That Must Be Taken—Tweed and Ceanolly Must Ge. Judge Barnard’s prompt action in granting the injunction asked for by Mr. Foley is the first step towards an intelligent settlement of the Tammany question. Theze has been 8 good deal of what has been called razor-strop journalism on this subject, which had the effect of selling the razor-strops, we presume. We have been amused by the eager competi- tion between the Tridune and the Times, for instance, as to who prodaces and offers the best article of strop. They are strops after all, and all their clamor is meant to force sales and attract the crowd. The matter is too serious to bo belittled by this eager clamor of news-dealers in a condition of business as- phyzxia anxious to give some new life to their trade, ‘The city’s credit, the honor of the metropolis, the good name of America, are too seriously involved in this strife to permit passion to rule, What is the situation? The present rulers of our city, after a hard contest with corrup- tion, political ambition, the intriguers of the republican party, their own stipendiaries, and the representative of a condition of municipal affairs which really was chaos, obtained an intelligent, logical charter, based upon the principles of free municipal government, All the old rubbish was swept away. The clumsy machinery of “boards” and ‘‘commissions”— wheels within wheels—engines clashing against each other—was destroyed, and we had a smooth, good organization, There was a Mayor at the head, the city’s choice, and as such a responsible, efficient executive, There were men to obey, with the power to compel obedience and discipline, All friends of good government breathed freer and looked with hope to the future. The press, without regard to party, endorsed it, the Tribune and Times especially, which, having just at.that moment no razor-strops to sell, found themselves for once independent. The people of the city passed judgment upon the charter, and, by a most decided majority, elected Oakey Hall Mayor. The work of clearing away the rabbis) has been more difficult than was at avy time ex- pected. Those who have watched the course of affairs in New York for the past ten years will understand how the vicious system of “commissions” and ‘‘boards” degenerated into chaos and robbery. There was no overseeing and responsible power and authority. The building had no corner stone. Democrats planned tax levies which republican legislatures were seduced to pass and republican governors induced to approve, ard the money of the city was swept into the hands of irresponsible, rav- enous men, who squandered it, What they did was-by ‘form of law.” To be sure the law was vicious and corrupt, but the people had made it, by sending men of the lowest class to Albany. They showed the utter absence of public virtue, and suffered for it by the spolia- tions of legislative adventurers, What these men did wasa part of the legacy bestowed upon the present rulera of the city when they came into power. This accounts for the bar- den of what is called the illegal appropriations of money. Since New Year the running ex- penses of the city have been economical almost to penury, The money. paid has been. to sweep away the accumulated rascalities of the republican administrations, of boards and commissions created by republican legislatures and endorsed by republican governors, and of democratic officials who, finding no controlling power over them, concocted all sorts of jobs and plundered the city to their hearts’ con- tent. For much of this Mayor Hall has been held responsible. The razor-strop people flnd that nothing can be done to advance their own poli- tical and pecuniary interests unless he is de- stroyed. Yet every one who knows Mr. Hall, or who has any familiarity with our public men, will understand how foolish and absurd any charges are affecting his integrity. Mr. Hall has never shown himself to be a venal man. His direst foes have always admitted his personal honor. Nor does he belong to that class of men who see in money something to stimulate personal and political ambition, Mr. Hall has been a successful lawyer. The money he has made he has spent. It bas been his misfortune to have had put upon him the burden of clearing away the debris of the old government. While doing this work and doing it faithfally and well, he is suddenly made responsible for its creation. Nothing can be more unjust than this, and the pertinacity with which the razor- strop politicians assail the Mayor Is a satis- factory proof that the loterest of the taxpayers of the city is not the sole or principal object of their clamor for reform, It is notorious that under the administration of the easy and good-natured Lincoln enormous frauds were perpetrated by republican officials, and that between whiskey rings, internal revenue rings and contractors’ rings the Uaited States Trea- sury was plundered of many millions of dol- lars. When accident raised Andrew Jobnson to the Presidency the robbers com- bined to ‘tie his hands and to make a headless, irresponsible muddle of the national government, in order that they might continue their depredations without let or hindrance, The people thought fil to place General Grant at the head of the nation to stop this wholesale corraption and debauchery, and he has proved himself deserv- ing of the trust. Now, what would republican organs have thought and said if their political opponents, under a bogus clamor for reform, had endeavored to hold Grant responsible for the evils he was selected to remove, and had persisted in laying at bis door the frauds and robberies committed ander the administration of Lincoln and Johnson ? While sustaining Mr. Hall until at least it can be shown that one ill-gotten dollar bas gone into his pocket, Tammany must make one reform. Comptroller Connolly has it in his power to end the whole matter by resign- ing. If he falls to resign the Mayor should remove him. Let Tammany compel this, and let the Mayor show bis appreciation of the act by calling upon some eminent citizen, like Mr. Belmont, Mr. Phelps, Mr. Roberts or any one of twenty well-known business men to take the management of the city’s finance, Let Mr. Tweed resign nineteen of his offices, retaining one, and dissolve bis dozen firms, and retire into the enjoyment of his bonds and diamonds and real estate. Let Mr. Sweeny show that he merits the name of Bismarck by throwing more of his personality into the government, Let us really give our remodelled clty govern- mentatrial, It hasnot had atrial, Tammany's failure now and here means that the demo- cratic party, of which it is the soul, cannot com- mand the confidence of the country. The re- tirement of Tweed and Connolly—the unham- pered administration of Hall and Sweeny, aided by some such man as Belmont in the Comptroller’s office—will be a master stroke of statesmanship. And when Mr. Tweed and Mr. Connolly retire let them take with them all of their relations and their wives’ relations down to the latest generation, It is either this or ‘‘chaos triumphant,” as Victor Hugo would say. Tammany cannot sit still and allow its enemies to make up an issue and defeat it without a struggle and a conces- sion, It cannot sacrifice a magistrate who is known to be an honorable and pure man, and who holds his place from the people. On the other hand, it cannot administer affairs with a crippled and suspected credit, and permit every adult and infant scion of the house of Tweed to be quartered upon the treasury. It must stand by the charter, and at the same time enable its ministers to enforce the charter. What seems gloom and disaster may mean victory. Lot Tammany insure victory by re- moving Mr, Connolly and Mr. Tweed and sustaining Mr, Sweeny and Mr. Hall. France and Italy. According to our special despatch from Versailles yesterday, stating that Chevalier Nigra, the Italian Ambassador, and the Prest- dent of the French republic, have had another lengthy interview, it is evident that the diffi- culties existing between the two countries are in course of a satisfactory settlement, France, always sensitive and fearful of the machina- tions of her neighbors, imagined that she had received an insult from Italy, which, despite her present prostrated condition, she felt in- compatible with her honor to leave unex- plained. But the representative of Victor Emmanuel at Versailles has distinctly told Pre- sident Thiers that so far from seeking to quarrel with France, his government had forwarded him the most concise and clearly defined in- structions to the contrary, and that all his negotiations are to be based on those grounds. In reality the offence is of the most trivial character, and its recital, as put forward in the despatch, will be the easiest method of explanation. Some weeks ago some of the surveying envoys of the Vatican were engaged on French territory surveying a Roman convent. Some of the dele- gates of the French Legation interfered, if not loudly denounced the envoys, avowing that it was a violation of the treaty between the two nations, and that it might be inferred they were sketching French territory and mak- ing maps of the roads, to serve in case of war. Atthe time the surveyors felt aggrieved at the attitude of the French officers, and omitted to state, whether intentionally or otherwise, that they were not attachés of the Italian government, Hence the diffi- culty between the two countries, and, but for the timely elucidation of the mat- ter, simple as it may appear, war might have been the result. The Executive at Rome doubtless received a somewhat colored ac- count of the rencontre and were prejudiced thereby against France, France, on the other hand, proud, excitable and jealous of the least rivalry, sent a hasty despatch to Rome de- manding immediate and full explanation of the affair, leaving the unpleasant inference that if Italy could not satisfactorily clear up the mishap she would appeal to force. It was highly. probable that the Italians would resent a note so hasty and unwarranted, but that they intended in the first place to create @ rupture has been denied in the most unquali- fied terms, France cannot, however, expect to overrun her smaller neighbor, notwithstand- ing that the occupation of Rome might be still the smouldering spark employed to bring about the explosion of friendly relations. She must yield a little in behalf of Italy—she will have todo so. She can afford to be magnani- mous in this at least, After the manner in which President Thiers has received the Italian representative, listened to the recital of his in- structions and the overtures of peace from Rome, it cannot be doubted that the coolness between the two governments will soon sub- side, and in a short time the stream of events will flow more pleasantly. France would re- ceive no sympathy if she took Italy to task too severely under such a pretext, and it is to be hoped that, after the bitter lessons taugbt her at Sedan and Paris, she will seek a just cause before she again throws down the gaunt- let of defiance. The British Press on the Railread Legis. lation of Illinois. It will be remembered that the Legislature of Illinots passed an act lately to regulate the fares and freights of railroads inthe State. It was, in fact, an act to prevent extortionate charges being imposed upon the people by railroad corporations—an act much needed in that State and in most of the States of this republic. It was an agreeable suprise to learn that any State Legislature had the inde- pendence and courage to grapple with the most powerful monopoly of the time. It seemed to be the commencement of healthy legislation under difficult circumstances, to protect the public from the grasping cupidity of railroad corporations. But much as the action of the Illinois Legislature gratified the American people it has not met with the approval of the British press and British holders of American railroad securities. Of course those abroad who bave bought the rail- road securities of this country want to make the most money possible out of them, and care little at what cost to the people here, Foreign purchasers get these securities at a low price generally, and with an understanding of the riske or contingencies of legislation. They ought not, therefore, to complain of such a just act as that referred to, The public have rights as well as railroad’! bondholders and stockholders. We hope the Legislatures of other States will follow the example given io Illinois, and protect the people from extor- tionate charges for freight and travel, Tue Mexican Leaation at Wasmixaton thinks the pirates who attacked two American barks recently were irresponsible persons, and that Mexico will certainly secure them and turn them over to the law. It will be well for her to do so, and also to guarantee us some security againet similar outrages by irrespom gible persons in the future. The California State Election—The Strength of General Grant’s Admioistration. The republicans, as by # reactionary political whirlwind, have handsomely carried the State of California, including the election of their candidate for Governor, Newton Booth, by three or four thousand majority over Haight, the present democratic incumbent, who was elected in 1867 by nine thousand five hundred majority, In explanation of this significant defeat of the democracy it may be said that Governor Haight, in his railway and other speculative affiliations, had made himself un- popular with the rank and file of his party; that he had thus alienated from his support some of the most active democratic leaders in the State and their followers; that the ‘‘new departure,” moreover, instead of harmonizing, has operated to distract, divide and demoral- ize the party; that Tammany Hall has been to the party, even in California, what ‘‘the Old Man of the Sea” was to Sinbad the Sailor, a deadweight too heavy for the carrier; and that while Governor Haight had become a wornout politician the republicans, in Newton Booth, as the head of their State ticket, had the great advantage of a popular champion fresh from the body of the people. That all these causes have operated to bring success more than they had hoped for to the California republicans, and defeat worse than they had feared to the democrats, we can readily believe, We can understand the apathy and the disgust of the old demo- cratic Bourbons concerning this ‘‘new depar- ture,” and how difficult it is to reconcile them to our new national constitution of ‘nigger equality” and ‘‘nigger suffrage,” after fighting these radical ameadments, hit or miss, sink or swim, for the last ten years; and we can understand how the hard-working California miners would be apt to express themselves in reference to these charges of the corrupt appropriations of millions of the public money by the present democratic administration of our city affairs; and yet the main secret of the success of the republicans in this California election remains to be disclosed. It is neither the loss of popularity by Haight, nor the com- manding popularity of Booth, nor the new democratic departure, nor the hue and cry raised against Tammany Hall; but it is the strength of General Grant’s administration with the people. In this late California canvass, on leading local questions, and especially upon “‘the Heathen Chinee,” both parties occupied sub- stantially the same ground. And while it is true that on their Governor and on national issues the democrats were somewhat demoral- ized, divided and despondent, while the repub- licans were united and hopeful, the fact of paramount importance is this: that the repub- licans were united, and fought the battle upon the merits of General Grant’s administration, and upon General Grant os their candidate for the coming Presidential contest against the field. Hence it may be truly said that if Booth has carried the State for Grant it was Grant who carried the State for Booth. Upon this point our philosophers of the Tribune are too modest by half. They beat about the bush; but they studiously evadea recognition of General Grant. Mr. Greeley has made up his mind that General Grant must be cut off with one term, The President has committed the unpardonable crime of putting Mr, Murphy in the Custom House and of keeping him there in disregard of the wishes and remonstrances of Senator Fenton, and that is enough for Mr. Fenton’s henchman; and so Mr. Greeley has undertaken the absurd experiment of playing “Hamlet with the part of Hamlet left out.” The republicans throughout the country, in their State conventions, State by State, have planted themselves upon the substantial and acceptable platform of General Grant’s admin- istration, the platform of economy, the reduc- tion of taxation, the payment of the debt and peace at home and abroad, including his great peace treaty with England. We see, too, that in North Carolina, Kentucky, Dela- ware, Wyoming and California, from these late lons, that the republican party, ond e banner of their national admin- istration and with General Grant as toeir acknowledged standard bearer for 1872, are strengthened fn every section, and yet, in being denied the full control of the fat pick- {ngs of the Custom House, Senator Fenton stands afar off, and to the Senator's ‘good man Friday” the little figare of General Grant is eclipsed and made invisible by the portly presence of Collector Murphy. But this sort of child’s play, this miserable bushwhacking against General Grant by our sub-soil philosopher will never do, There is nothing in ‘What I Kaow About Farming,” nor in what anybody knows of sub-soiling, deep ‘ploughing, under-draining, irrigation, manure or phosphates whereby a republican candidate opposed to General Grant can be made to blossom in the national party conven- tion of next spring. Nor is there anything in all the devices of political pipo-laying and undermining whereby General Grant can be supplanted in that convention. Andin a com- mon sence view of the subject, after his ex- perience in his opposition to the renomination of Lincoln in 1864, it is impossible.to account for Mr. Greeley's equally impotent efforts to supersede General Grant in 1872. Can it be that the first requirement with Mr. Greeley is the righting of his imaginary wrongs? If 80, our venerable philosopher has still his first im- portant lesson to learn in party politics, which is a lesson applicable to all things and all con- ditions in human life—viz., that important les- son that ‘‘no man can serve two masters.” Or we might put it in this form, that a lame gen- tleman cannot conveniently carry water on both shoulders, But with these essential facts established, that the republicans are strong and united on General Grant's administration as their plat- form, and upon Grant as the head, the embodi- ment and Presidential candidate of the party, while the democrats are demoralized and divided upon local men and national issues, the question recurs, How can the national democracy be reorganized and put into a good position for the Presidential campaign? They are without any recognized leader here, there or anywhere, and without any common ander- standing upon measures or men. They are an army without generals and without « plan of operations ; they are a ship's crew without officers, and the ship is adrift, What can be done for them? The best that we can do is to advise them, through its president, Mr. (Belmont, to call their National Executive Committee together in order to try if this com- mittee cannot, in a well-considered manifesto, harmonize the party upon the “new departure” and the new order of things generally, As things are going now the Presidential elec- tion, like the California election, will be carried as by a whirlwind for General Grant. The Ecclesiastical Conference at Fulda, The North German bishops have certainly rushed matters throngh at Fulda. We are informed, by a special despatch to the HERALD, that the conclave of the ecclesiastics has been short, decisive and effective. Hav- ing considered the manner in which they in- tend henceforward to celebrate divine service, anf set aside restrictions that have hitherto bound them against what their opinions dic- tated, they have come forward boldly and pub- lished their'resolutions, The great question of the hour—the {nfallibility dogma—has re- ceived their attention, and, though nothing is positively known of the details of the discus- sion upon the subject, itis patent that in a measure they have repudiated it by setting aside and omitting the high mass in their morning services, without con- suiting = His. Holiness. “aon —the change. Yesterday, a preamble and resolutions were brought in and laid before the Bishops. These resolutions wore like mortars heavily charged against the Prussian Minister, Mubler. They charzed this states. man with mercenary motives in his condem- nation of their actions, and not only do they dispute his right to interfere with them, but they positively repudiate him; and in all their future deliberations on Church questions they ‘are determined to disregard his decrees, no matter if they are forwarded from the Privy Council in Berlin, with the seal of the Emperor still wet upon them. In addition to the strong language employed in the first portion of the resolution they are determined to petition the Reichstag, and have ordered that two copies of the petition be prepared, the one to be laid before the Reich- stag and the other to be personally presented to the Emperor of Germany, demanding redress for the insults they have received at the hands of his Privy Councillor, This means the removal of Mubler, who musi be replaced by a man favoring the views of the Bishops and ready to progress with the march of civi- lization, The practical results of this gather- ing of the heads of the Church at Fulda appear to be a remodelling of the Church ser- vice anda review of the relations between themselves and the Vatican, a denial of the right of the Prussian Cabinet to interfere with matters connected with the Church and an endeavor to have Minister Muhler replaced by a Minister ready to concede instead of im- peding. Walt Whitman. We have doubted the poetical abilities of Mr. Walt Whitman, but since he calls the Muse of Poesy a ‘famous female”—‘‘ever youthful, ’cute and handsome”—we can doubt no longer. We were always willing, as a matter of course, to concede a more far- reaching and deep-searching vision to Mr. Whitman than to any one else, and, modest man that he is, we are glad that he at last claims it for himself. The Muse, or more properly Mr. Whitman’s ‘famous female,” must be an extraordinary bird—she cannot be acommon dunghill fowl, for the poet asks her to ‘‘migrate” from Greece and Ionia, Still, how are we to reconcile this bird idea with some of Mr. Whitman's other notions? He asserts of this ‘famous female,”,in lan- guage wonderfully poetic, but fearfully un- quotable— Yes, if you will allow me to say so, I, my friends, if you do not, can plainly see Her. But he cannot only, ‘‘plainly see Her,” but he hears ‘‘the rustling of her gown,” and has visions of her washing bills. It is not bonest, however, in a man of his sterling worth to ask her to Cross out, please, those immensely overpaid ac- counts, Having escaped the fury of the washer- woman and the activity of the police, he brings her over in the steerage, and we are then as- sured that it is ‘With many @ squeak (in meter choice), from Bos! New Yorks Pi cine, London; : sie As she, tne illustrious Emigré (having, it ts true, in her day, although the same, changed, journey’d considerable) Making dit for this rendezvous—vi; a @ path for herseif—striding through a on By a of machinery and shrill steam whistle un- mi Biuif'd nota bit by drain pt jometers, artificial Nation y Pipe, gas b Smiling and pleased, witn palpable intent co s1 She's here, iustali'd amid tue kivenen wate 1? These specimens will illustrate what wretched trash Mr. Whitman perpetrates in the name of poctry, and show somewhat para- doxically, to use one of his own forms of poetic expression, that his verses ought not be ‘aid on the shelf”’—they had better be kicked under the ‘table. From one end to the other of the “poem” which he read at the opening of the American Institute Fair there is scarcely a poetic ides. He steals names from the my- thology of ‘‘Grecia” and “Roma,” and, after sprinkling in a few others from Tennyson's “TIdylis of the King,” he catalogues the whole into harsh and irregular lines—bad prose badly arranged—and asks us to accept it as inspiration, Obliging as we are, this, we think, is a little like imposing on good nature, We are willing to admit that Mr. Whitman bas seen more of his ‘famous female” than we have; but we don’t want him to come any confidence games over us, Even Dr. Johnson never asked anybody to accept his dictionary a8 blank verse, and neither ought Walt Whit- man expect us to call his catalogue of names and his array of words poetry, though they are about the blankest verse we ever saw. The Engliah critics pretend to find in Mr, Whitman America’s true poet. He accord- ingly reposes faith in the English judgment; nor are we discontent that he shall say or sing :— 1 iat 5 ane for far, superber themes for poets and To sing, in songs, how exercise and chemical life are never to be vamed; Baldizse shee, America, to-day | and thee, immortal To Practical, manual work, for each and all—to To p ni at Toad the tree, the berry, vegetables, For eve! sign to Bog to it that he really do some- tang. every woman, too; To use the hammer ant the saw (rip OT Cross-cxt) or plastering, To cultivate a turn f ntin, i To work as tail joresa, nurse, hostier, porter, To invent a ede Sormerete ingentous—to aid the ing, cooking, cleaning, And hold it no disgrace to ake @ hand at them themselves, We think, however. if he cultivated his Poctic powers less, and his “turn” for the useful arts more, it would be better for him and for us. When it comes to making verses Mr. Whitman had. better leave ‘them them- selves” alone, and instead of “singing” he might exalt the present and the real by getting © down to honest work. The Dellinger Movement im Germany. It would seem as if at last the Dillinger party bad triumphed at the Bavarian Court. « It bas been known to us that for some time past the young King and bis Minfsters were undecided. The Dillinger movement brought about a crisis in the Cabinet and led to a change of Ministry. Tbe new Ministry is of a more decided type. One of its first publie acts reveals its character. - The Bavarian Minister at Rome was opposed to the “old Catholics,” and of course in sympathy with the Pope and his Vatican decrees. His, suc- , cessor, Couat Trautmansdorf, belongs to the party of reform. His appointment to Rome fs an emphatic protest against the dogma of infal- libility Pan! the Vatican decrees generally, The Yai a8 is § f wild alarm, The blow ‘is felt. saa pone thus so em- phatically declared herself it is feared that Austria will follow, and the danger is all the greater that the immense power of North Ger- many is on the side of the refqrmers, It will not be wonderful if we have another eiicyoli? | cal from the Holy Father full of laudations of (the faithtui and as full of denunciations of the unfaithful. Rome is ina new danger, a dan- ger still greater than the loss of the temporali- ties, and itis no longer doubtful that either Rome must yield and go back upon the Vatf- can decrees or a new Catholic Ciurch will bo established in South Germany, The venerable and much-respected Head of the Church of Rome will no doubt protest; but his protests, no matter in what language couched or how, multiplied, will have no power in resisting the inevitable march of events. A grand new sensation is evidently in store for us. Toe Brooxixyn Jury have found that Mise Post came to her death by brutal and inhuman treatment received at the bands of Dr, Perry and Mrs. Van Buskirk, and the two were held to await the action of the Grand Jury. The father, mother and brother of the victim were severely censured in the verdict for their un- natural conduct in sending their daughter to an abortionist; but it must be remembered that they placed the girl there not to have an abortion performed upon her, but to screen her from the shame of her guilty commerce by keeping it secret from her neighbors in the little gossiping town where she lived.
