If President Thiers makes Paris his official home, and if the re- public lives—and there is no good reason why it should not live—the time is close at band when the Assembly, or whatever the law- making power may be called, must return to Paris. No such radical change has taken place in Paris or in the French character as to justify the conclusion that with Paris restored | to all its honors and privileges the government machine will not again be at the mercy of the Paris mob as in days of old. In most difficult circumstances President Thiers is doing his best. His best is good; but we are far from satisfied that France has sven the end of her present troubles. or that she is on the right track towards a stable and permanent govern- ment. The factions ure not yet reconciled, aud every move made by the government is beset with danger. May the republicans act wisely and may the republic live. Steamboat Racing and Explosions. While the eommunity stands aghast at the two fearful boiler explosions chronicled in yesterday's Hrratp we are called upon to notice the fact that a steamboat race was run on the East River on Thursday last, between the steamers Sylvan Dell and Harlem. These boats carry passengers up and down, and at the time at which the “lively and exciting contest” took place betwen five and six inthe afternoon) are crowded with people returning homeward after the day’s labore. ‘There is, doubt- less, a large class of idiots whose slender stock of sense forsakes them utterly at the prospect of such a race, and even at the risk of being exploded into mummy meat would piteously ask the racing captain if he could only put on a little more steam. Now, to this class of passenger lunatics and to the criminals who direct these steamboat races we say that they shall not be allowed to risk lives, not even their own, on which they set so little value, in these dan- The intelligence that ‘‘the Sylvan Dell reached Harlem bridge five min- utes ahead” may be considered gratifying only in the sense that one of the boats did not go up like a rocket in the neighbor- hood of Hell Gate. But that is clearly something for which we have no right to thank any other than a merciful Providence. With the record of the past year in view, and the fearful instances now before our readers, we do not feel inclined to allow this class of recklessness to go unrebuked. There is surely some law under which these racing captains of last Thursday can be arrested, and if there is we can see no reason for dealing ligitly with men who endanger life without reason. Their punishment, if legally possible, would be awholesome, deterrent act, and one for which aJl sensible people would be thankful, Personal Inteiligence.

The following special despatch to the Hzraip has been received from our correspondent in the capital of Great Britain :— Lonpon, April 12, 1872. The London Times publishes in its issue this morning an editorial on the subject of the Alabama Claims and the question of conse- quential damages as they are likely to present | after the reassemblage of the Geneva Court of Arbitration on the 15th instant, The Times’ writer indicates what the Eng- lish government will and should, in his opin- jon, do in Geneva next Monday. He assumes that the counter cases of the American and British Cabinets will be exchanged, and ex- ! presses an apprehension that the government of the United States will interpret this action as the profession of an intention on the part of the goverument of Her Majesty Queen Victoria to continue the work of arbitration and relinquish its opposition to the indirect damages claims. The significance of the presentation of the English counter case should, he argues, be and weighed by the Minis- ters of the Crown. The Queen’s gov- therefore, well carefully ernment is bound to take care that America shall understand that the counter case is submitted, because the arbitration argument and negotiations would at once lapse if it were otherwise, and also becauso there is another interval of time during which the American Cabinet may still retain its error of consideration of the case. The Washington Treaty, says the London Times in continuation, provides that two months after the exchange of the counter cases the written arguments on both sides shall be presented to the Tribunal of Arbitra- tion, At that stage of the proceedings Eng- land may and must retire from the Geneva Court unless the American government shall beforehand renounce its claim for consequen- tial damages. The Times’ writer holds that the Queen’s Ministers are bound to give the American government notice of such purpose on the part of the Crown, and also to notify the ar- bitrators that the countercase is now pre- sented without prejudice to the agument ; that the authority or jurisdiction of the arbi- trators does not extend to the consideration of the question of consequential damages. In conclusion, the London Times fore- shadows, indeed declares, up, that England will deliver her counter- case at Geneva on the 15th inst., but will not regard this act as prejudicing the position her government has taken in oppo- sition to the Americau claim for indirect dam- ages. If the United States, the article say’, shall not, before the Tribunal is ready with its award, have abandoned the claim for conse- quential damages, then Great Britain will withdraw her ratification of the Treaty of Washington, in its summing Will the Euglist: Arbitrators Go to Geneva ¢ Lonpon, April 12, 1872.

TELECTAM TO THE WHEW YORK HERALD. Lonbon, April 12, 187: In the House of Commons tis eveuing Mr. Rari- BonK, Memover for Liverpool, asked whether the government had sent or intended to send tts coun. | ter case respecting the Alabama claims to the Geneva Board. Mr. GLADSTONE replied that the case had been pre- pared and despatched to Geneva. ‘Touching the | contents of the document, he would say there was nothing relative to the claims for indirect damages, | A nore accompanied the case containing a decla- ration on the part of the government for the purpose of reserving all rights ap pertaining to the Queen in this arbitration, se that in the future the government would not be } fettered by any implied compromise. Mr, Schenck, tho American Minister, bad been duly informed of the course taken, and notified Lord Granville tiat there was no objection to it on his part. The American counter case would be presented to the Geneva Tribunal without prejudice to the rights of either party. alr, Schenck had since in- formed Lord Granville that the goverament of the United States concurred in the view that the pre- sentation of the counter case Would not affect the position assumed by Great britain on the question of the indirect claims, Mr. DISRAELI wanted to have the papers pro- duced, and asked whether the Lord Ciuef Justice Cockburn was to resume his duties as a member of the Geneva Board ? To the latter question Mr. GLADSTONE replied af- firmatively. He promised that the British counter- case would be laia before Parliament at an early day. He praised the House and the people of England for their torbearance, and the people and Congress of the United States for refraining from attempts to embarrass the question.

TELCERAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpoy, April 12, 1872. During the sitting of the House of Commons this evening Mr, Cochrane, member from the Isle of Wight, denounced the International Society and asserted that orders to burn Paris and massacre the hostages held by the Commune emanated from the central body of the International in London. He sentations of other Powers that England was the asylum of the Internationalists. Mr. Eastwick, mber for Penryn, also protested | against allowing England to become the refuge of the political agitators of the world, He characterized the publications of the International Society a3 revolutionary and blasphemous, and declared them hable to suppression under the law, Mr. Henry Fawcett, member for Brighton, de- fended the society. Its principles were not revolu- tionary. It was designed to protect women and children in factories and to destroy monopolies. Other members spoke in detence of the trades unions, with which it was charged the Interna- Uonal Society was allied.

When the reply was received, no one would’be more willing to make the House com- pletely acquainted with the aetails of the negotia- uons than himself. Mr. Disrak.t said he wanted to impress {t pon the government that the country was desirous of clearly understanding the conditions under which the government sent its counter case to Geneva. This very act admitted on the surface (he justice of the American claim for indirect damages. Mr. GLapsTone made no further repiy, but again | promised that the documents would be speeuily forthcoming. In the House of Commons later in the evening Sir WIL¥RED Lawson, member for Cartisie, moved | an address to the Crown praying that measures may be taken for the withdrawal of Great Britain from any treaty binding her Ww interiere with other nations by war, After @ protracted debate the motion was nega- | lived by a vote of 126 to 21. In the House of Lords to-night Earl Gran. | VILLE made replies In subsiance the samo as those ol Mr. Gladstone to questions put by Lord Stanhope. Care had been taken, he sald, to so frame the counter case and accompanying docu- ments as to jeave to Great Britain the right to with- draw from arbitration should the differences on the subject of indirect damages not be settled, Karl Russeve thought the government had fallea to escape from the difficulty, He declared that they oaght not under any circumstances consent fo the consideration of the claims for indirect losses, Lord Russell then gave notice that on the 22d Inst. he should bring in a motion for an address to the Queen praying that fastructions be given that all proceedings before the arbitrators at Geneva be suspended nntll the United States withdraws their claims for indirect damages, The Duke of RicHMoND wanted to have an un- derstanding, 80 thal there would be no possibility of the arbitrators saying to England, “You com- plied with the treaty; you entered your counter case} therefore we shall proceed to a decision.” Karl GRANVILLE suggested that whether the counter case was presented or not the arbitrators might go on with the business of arbitration, Lord WESTBURY Wanted the jJurisaicuion of the Geneva Tribunal determined, Earl GRANVILLE reiterated that he had been care- ful to put the point so that Knuland would noi be compromised in the matter of the indirect claims, and that the United States government had signt- fled its agreement to this understanding, The MARQUIS OF SALISBURY regretted that the gov- ernment had abandoned the last chance of protest- ing against the exercise by the Geneva Board of Jurisdiction over the indirect claims, because the arbitrators might award a lump sum without speci- fications. The Duke of SOMERSET said the governments course seriously lmperilied the country’s position. The goverument should have refused to present its counter case until the claims for Indirect dam- ages were withdrawn. This, lie declared, was the intention of the nation. Lord PENZANCE gathered from what Earl Gran- ville had said that the government was free to witndraw from arbitration if the reply of the Amer- ican government to the noble lord’s last note per- sisted in the determination vo preseni the indirect claims, ‘his, Lord Peazance concluded, was suf- cient.

HOUARD, WASHINGTON, April 12, 187: WASHINGTON, April 12, 187: The House Catiing Down the Civil Ser vivo Keform Appropriation—The Grounds. To-day the House refused to give $50,000 to carry out the President’s wishes in regard to the civil ser- vice reform, giving only $10,000 in its stead. The failure of the House to grant this appropriation will | not, however, prevent the President from carrymg out the instructions given to him by Congress in this regard, and the rules will be put tnto force on the Ist of May, The regulations have been modified and many of the objectionable features recon- sidered, Filty thousand dollars was given to pub- list the laws of the United States, which is looked Uupod as nothing more than government pap. ‘There are certain country newspapers whose life has to be kept up by this aid or these lummaries would fall. After years of agitation upon the subject of con- demning and appropriating two squares around the Capitol for the enlargement and beautifying of its grounds, the House to-day voted to buy them, | but limited the sum to be paid for it at $400,000. Mr. Brooks succeeded tn getting his resolution in regard to Mexican outrages offered to-day and re- ferred to the Foreign Affairs Committee. Consider- aole business was taken trom the Speaker's mole, and a large number of bills and resolutions offered for reference, Dawes and the Diflculty with the Committee § of Ways and Means. The difficulty which occurred yesterday morning in the Ways and Means Committee, when Mr, Dawes refusea to present the Tariff bill to the House, as decided upon by the committee, seems to be yet unsettled, although the committee are at work completing the bill, The action of Mr. Dawes has been much commented upon to-day, and 13 regarded as wholly without warrant. The declaration of Mr. Dawes that he woud not report the bill was wholly unexpected by the committee, as up to that time he had never made violent opposition to the efforts of the majority of the committee for @ reduction of tho tariff; but on yesterday Mr, Dawes, secing a reduction inevitable, made a move which, if it could have been carried, would bave settled the Tariff question against a reduction, His little game was to get the Internat Revenue bill reported separately and acted upon independently of the ‘Tarif? bill, The revenue reformers knowing well that should that course be taken there would oe no chance for a re- duction of the tariff this session, Mr. Burchard Moved to amend Mr, Dawes’ motion so as to re- quire both bills to be presented at once, that one might help the other. This motion was agree to, Messrs. Burchard, Finkeenburg, Kerr, Beck and Brooks voting in the afirmative. Whereupon Mr. Dawes grew excited and declared that he would not report the bill. ‘fhe same spirit of conciliation that haa = actuated this = majority during the preparation of the bill was again evinced, and efforts made to pacify Mr. Dawes. Every propost- tion made to him was rejected, and up to the pres- ent time he declares he will not report the bill, although strenuous efforts have been made by his political friends to Induce him to do so, Tne other side of the question 1s equally firm. They declare that they havo given away much for harmony, and that the present bill falis far short of their desires and the demands of their friends and constituency, and that no more conces- slons will be made, It 1s most likely that this con- dition of things will continue until Monday, when Mr. Burchard will report the bill as prepared by the committee, which ts very moderate in tone, when Mr. Vawes and his friends will either report a sepa. rate bill, as has been intimated, or fight the majority report. The conduct of Mr. Dawes in this business 18 extremely unsatisfactory, and the colored accounts of his action to prevent a reduction of the tariff fail to teil the waole story, ‘The contest 1s as much between Blaine and Dawes as between the protectionists and the revenue re- formers. The Speaker deliberately made a Revenue Reform Committee of Ways and Means, and has had long conferences with Burchard and Finkein- burg, the revenuo reform republicans on the committee, His purpose evidently was to destroy Dawes, by making his leadership ot the House a fallure, and Dawes, in his anger, retorted by destroying a tariff bill which reduced the duty on woollens and in other respects lightened the public burdens, In this course he is supported by all the protec- uonists, and Secretary Boutwell, it ts understood, expresses tne hope that the bill as framed by the Committee on Ways and Means will not pass, consoling himself with the thought that if Congress should adjourn without modifying either the Tariff or Revenue bill he will have an opportunity to continue his pet theories for the reduction of the public debt, In any event Mr. Dawes appears willing to defeat the Variff bill by the trick of want of time after the passage of the Revenue bill, or to destroy both by his violent course in the committee. The Bowen-De Large Election Case. The House Committee on Elections having over- ruled the motion of De Large's counsel to dismiss Bowen's contest of the seat from tie Second dis. trict of South Carolina, on the ground that Bowen's occupancy of @ seat in the Legislature of that State disqualifiea him from the contest, the committee will resume the consideration of the case early next week, When It is thought another motion wil, be made by De Large’s counsel to effect the same object. ‘he sundry Civil Service Expense Approprin- tous. The House Appropriation Committee to-day com- pleted the portion of the Sundry Civil Expense bill relating to public buildings. The estmates or the ‘Treasury Department were substantially agreed to, amounting in all to about $2,000,000. The princk- pal items are $1,000,000 for the continuation of work on the new State Department building, and $470,000 for the continuation of work on the Custom House at New Orleans The other néms are $100,000 for a Custom House in Charleston, 8.
