‘OF the stockbolders and people against the present direction, the Attorney General should ‘withdraw so much of his proposition and leave his repeal of an offensive and unjust law pure and simple. Let us have no quibbles or eva- gion in this Erie legislation. Senator O'Brien's | Bill to repeal the Classification act and the General’s bill to repeal the Non- suspension law should both be brought to a yote on their simple merits alone, and then ‘we shall be able to see what members of a re- form Legislature have been influenced by the @ame powers that debauched’ the infamous Legislature of 1870 and 1871. A Rofermer’s Way of Reforming. Mr. Senator Tiemann is a distinguished re- former, elected to purify our State and muni- cipal government. If he knows anything, it is that we have had no corruptions more offensive than those connected with the widening of ‘boulevards, the extension of roads into the subarbs, and the opening of new thorough- Yarea, He should know also that this whole usiness, in its way.a business necessary to the improvement and embellishment of the City and the development of its resources, should be made a subject of careful study, and provided for by a general law having a care to private and vested rights as well as to the improvement of the metropolis, ‘This being the case, it is not without regret that we observe that Mr. Tiemann has intro- Guced a bill into the State Senate to open and extend 127th, 128th and 129th streets. The first impression produced by this is that many Sitizens holding large interests in Manhattan- wille are not above the desire to have their baa improved by a law of the State. We not for a moment think that 9 Senator who Soin Tilo thes ah the record of Mr. Tie- will yield to a temptation which has Beata many another man who entered Senate with the most virtuous resolutions. t Mr, Tiemann set his face against this ‘peclal legislation, withdraw his bill and show ‘fhat he is in earnest in the work of reform by fupporting » general pill on. this subject, and ‘pot gne meant to improve real estate in Manhattanville at the expense of the public 0 employ a phrase from the “Shoo Fly” @ong, there is statue in the air! Everybody Js about to give somebody else a statue, Statues are expected to arise in every public place, like mushrooms in an orchard. Time_ (ras when New York possessed only one _Ptatue. This stood for nearly a score of years do the City Hall Park. It was a mysterious -one. It came like a thief in the night, and it " Aisappeared as suddenly as it made its start- Ting début, Who made it, who it represented, or why it came or went are questions yet perplexing the shoeblacks and philosophers of Printing House square. Although this was the only statue it proved as serviceable as twenty. Wayfarers got accommodated with Any identifying name which arose to the lips of a questioned policeman. Men died believ- ing it to be Greeley, or Fernando Wood, or any of the early fathers, or Rip Van Winkle. ~ But when this quieting statue walked away, ike the Commendatore in the opera of “Don Giovanni,” a desire for other statues seized apon our citizens, until now the fever has attained the dignity of a mania, First we had Sohiller, appropriately hidden away ina Central Park maze. Next we beheld at the Park*entrance one of Humboldt—presentiag the appearance of'a bronzed head from Temple Bar after the axeman of the Tower era had per- formed duty. Soon afterwards the telegraphers deservedly dedicated a statue to Morse. Then the Scotsmen laid a corner stone to the Wizard pf the North. Until April showers fall the Shakspeare statue, in a box at the old | Arsenal, awaits inauguration. Last week the {printers listened out in the cold to panegyrics about Franklin, and scores of people who wore not printers ate a Delmonico supper in honor of the new statue on Printing House ‘equare. And now a jocular contemporary daily sends around the hat to raise yet another statue in the same square to the living philoso- pher who recently sent up his reform kite and retrenchment key into the Washington clouds and brought down the sharpest kind of light- ning into the New York Custom House.

Herald Special Report from Paris. Immediate Payment of Three Thousand Five Hundred Millions to Germany. The Rothschilds and Other Bank- ers to Supply the Money, « CONSIDERATION.” THE Tho Tobaceo Monopoly Farmed Out to Rothe- child and Associates for Thirty Years. A LOTTERY PLAN. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The HgRatp correspondent at the French capital has forwarded to us the following special despatch :— f Parw, Jan. 23, 1872, The ‘firms of Rothschild Brothers, of Paris; Simon Sina, of Vienna; Thomas Gibbs, of London, and a German house in St. Peters- burg have proposed to the French government to pay the whole war debt on easy terms, and thus rid France of the German occupation, which is becoming more and more intolerable on accoupt of the recent circular of Prince Bismarck threatening seizure of hostages and worse retaliations for every unpunished mur- der of German soldiers. AOOEPTANOE OF THE PROPOSITION, President Thiers and M, Pouyer-Quertier, the Minister of Finance, after some negotia- Sa ee AD ao dangéta arising from the bitter hostility of the people toward the Germans in the occupied provinces, which is at any time liable to in- flame into the murder of isolated German sol- diers and to provoke disastrous consequences to France at the hands of the German govern- ment, ARRANGEMENTS FOR PAYMENT. Mesers. Rothschild and asssociates are now making arrangements for the immediate pay- ment of the three milliards owing and payable to Germany by the year 1874, according to the additional stipulations of the Treaty of Frankfort, This newa has been denied by the organs of the French government; but there is unquestionable authority for stating that it is positively true. THE “CONSIDERATION.” The impost on tobacco forms the basis of this financial operation, The French govern- ment wielding the entire monopoly of the tobacco imported to France this impost yields to the government two hundred and four million francs annually, clear of all ex- penses. The benefit of this revenue will be farmed out to Rothschild Brothers and_their associates, above mentioned, for the period of thirty years, on condition of immediate payment by them of the three thousand mil- lion franes, and in addition to this, the sum of five hundred million franos also due to Ger- many on May 1, 1872. ANOTHER PLAN FOR RAISING MONEY. Another project for raising revenue toward the payment of the German war debt has been proposed tothe French government. It is to be a lottery, with four drawings yearly, for the period of fifty years, after the system existing in Austria and Turkey, The lottery is to be on the following basis:—Each ticket will be valid until drawn, and then it will retara to {ts holder double the purchase price, Thus a ticket may be drawn the first year, and may not be drawn until the end of fifty years, It is proposed to issue these tickets in different amounts, so as to enable workingmen as well as capitalists to make investments in small or large sums, according to their means, FRANCE.

Difficulty Between the Spanish Authorities and the French Consuls—Caused by the Escape of @ Cuban and Several Negro Slaves on Board a French Steamer to Jamaica— Engagements Between Spanish Troops and Cubans. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. HAVANA, Jan, 22, Via Key Wast, Jan. 23, 1872. A correspondence has taken place between the government of Santiago and the French Consu) at Santiago de Cuba) relative to the escape of a gen- tleman named Figueras and several negro slaves to Jamaica on a French steamer. The Consul denies all responsibility on the part of his government, because the police remain on the steamers during their stay at Santiago de Cubal The demands of the government have now reached the point that they tnform the French Consul that the Spanish Consul at Kingston has been instructed to procure from the government of Jamatca the return of Figueras and the negroes, and in the probable case of tne request not being com- piled witn it witl close the ports of the island to French steamers. The idea of reclaiming political prisoners and three slaves from the British government is consid- ered absurd, The general. impression prevails among intelligent merchants that the threat to close the ports 1s mere biuster and that its execu. tion is impossible. ‘The Cubans on the 14th captured and burned the town of Gutsa, ktiling a pumver of volunteers and regulars, The Spaniards sent for retnforcements, and occupied the ruins on the following day, A party of Cubans captured a convoy of fortv carts near Las Tunas, Several were killed on both sides, The Cubens outnumbered the Spaniards, The steamer Havana, {rom New Orleans via Key West, has been quarantinea, owing to the preva- lence of the smallpox at the latter place. CATACAZY’S CASE. Text of the Note of Prince Gortschakoff to Nin. ister Curtin. St, PETERSBURG, Jan. 4, 1872, To-day's Opictal Measenger publishes the following note of Prince Gortschakoff to Mr, Curtin, United States Ambassador to the Russiaa Court, It must be remarked that documents of this sort are seldom publisned in Russia except when the government has some particular aim in making them known to the public:— y NOTE OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE RMPIRE TO THE (ORTH AMERICAN AMBASSADOR, MR. CURTIN. St. PeTeRspuRG, Dec, 21, 1871 (Jan. 2, 18724 Srr—I had the honor to receive the despatch ad- dressed to you by Mr. Fish on the 4th (16th) of No- vember last, a copy of which you were inatructed to leave with me, The painful affair of M, Catacazy began ana grew up during my absence. On my return to St. Petersburg I took care to make myself acquainted with all its detatis, [ound that the pro tempore Minister of Foreign Affairs, Privy Councillor Westmann, without repudiating the re- quests of the United States government, expressed only the wish that, for the sake of decency and con- ventence, M. Catacazy should continue to perform his duties during His Highness the Grana Duke Alexis’ sojourn in the United States. Your govern- ment accepted these considerations, and M. Vata- cazy received consequently orders to return to Russia a8 soon as tne Grand Duke should have left America, and it was also tntimated to him that he ‘would no more return to his post, It seemed to me that, after such an acquiescence on the part of the Imperial Cabinet to ail that was asked for in the ree quests of the United States, the whole affair ought to have been considered ag one finally settled, ac- cording to the rules of courtesy in force between Cabinets, It was, therefore, not without regret that I learned of the correspondence that was going on on the spot—a correspondence which, in my opin- fon, was quite purposeless, and in wDich neither sufictent attention nor respect was shown toa Rus- sian Ambassador still performimg his duttes, ‘The communications you made me, in accordance with Mr, Fish’s instructions, consist of two distinct parts. The one contains the request to recatt M. €atacazy, witn reference to which, as I sald, we have already given our acquiescence to the wishes of the United States government. The other con- tains the complaints against our Ambassador. This second part makes tie imperial Cabinet a judge of THE JAPANESE EMBASSY. BANQUET IN SAN FRANCISCO LAST NIGHT.
