What does it mean? many persons are asking. It is the first visit of the kind made by a Russian Prince since the Crimean war. It seems to indicate peace. Peace is the echo of the conference of the Em- Battle in the Empire State. wind of reform which swept over city and We have before us the verdict of the people | State last November was surprise to all par- from the October elections in the great central States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and in summing up the results hardly a doubt can be entertained of the re-election of General Grant in Novomber for another Presidential term. So far the local élections of the year have indicated no losses to him since 1668. New Hampshire, Connecticut, Oregon, North Carolina, Vermont and Maine, and now Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska and Seuth Carolina, have, each in its turn, pronounced in favor of the administration, while on the other hand only the State of Goorgia has de- clared against it, Now Hampshire and Connecticut indicated the solidity of the republican lines in the East, Vermont and Maine confirmed it; North Carolina, the first direct test of the strength of the new opposition coalition, failed to develop any material accessions to the democratic party from the anti-Grant republicans in the South, while in the results in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska we now perceive, from these important elections of Tuesday last, that in the central States and the West the republican followers of Greeley and Brown have failed to carry over to the reconstructed democracy the popular balance of power. The republican party, in short, from these October elections of 1872, holds substantially the samo ground and the same advantages which it commanded under General Grant after the October elections of 1868, and so far the con- sequences to Greeley and Brown in November are foreshadowed in the defeat of Seymour and Blair. Whatever the shortcomings or the mistakes of General Grant in his great office, and not- withstanding the desertions from him of such conspicuous party leaders as Sumner, Trum- bull, Greeley, Brown, Schurz, Fenton, Curtin and McClure, the American people still grate- fully remember the incalculable services of the great soldier who extinguished the Southern rebellious confederacy and restored the Union; and still remember, too, the condition of the national treasury and its administration when turned over to General Grant, and the practi- cal reforms and retrenchments which have fol- lowed under his honest management. But above all considerations, no doubt, which have operated in General Grant's favor in these re- cent elections is the consideration that while the financial and business affairs of the coun- try will suffer no disastrous shock or revulsion from his re-election we do not know what might be the consequences in 1873 of a political revo- lation in 1872, In view of this im- portant matter of the financial and business affairs of the country, the question of a universal amnesty is eclipsed, general as is the desire of the people to oblit- erate all traces of the sectional animositios of our civil war. Indeed, upon this question of Southern reconciliation, if the good work has been too long trifled with and delayed, the fault lies more with Congress than with the President, ag we infer, in the popular estima- tion, and hence the failure of the opposition to make this reconciliation a ruling issue be- fore the people, It is apparent, at all events, from the sug- gestive figures of these October elections, that hardly a doubt can be raised of the re-election of General Grant in November. Nor can it be be questioned that these administration vic- ties, but in this instance the same effects from the same causes will be no surprise to any The trath is that the republicans in con- junction with the ref -m party of the Commit- tee of Seventy, and with democratic diver- sion under O’Brien, count upon carrying the city in November, while from the the demoral- izations of the opposition elements resulting from these metropolitan discords theso Octo- ber elections, these Bourbon democrats and other obstructions to Greeley and Brown, and Cox and Kernan, the party of the national administration now confidently count upon carrying the State for Grant and Wilson, and Dix and Tremain. And of all the discourag- ing conditions of the situation, city and State, to the opposition alliance, the doubtful posi- tion of Tammany at this juncture is tho worst; and in attempting to serve two mas- tera, or to sit upon two stoolsa—Tweed and city reform—Tammany must fall to the ground. The Empire State for November has become doubtful, and New York city itself, through the folly of Tammany, may be lost to the demo- cratic party on the bth of November. The Fall Season of Italian Opera. The new régime of Italian opera in this city is not without the usual difficulties and short- comings. Ithas given us one transcendent artist in Pauline Lucca, and, on the whole, a fair ensemble of artistic merit, besides some improvement in scenery, the choruses and the orchestra; but we shall not be satisfied till the opera is raised to the same standard of excel- lonce in all respects that it has reached in the flrat capitals of Europe. Our people are will- ing and able to pay for that. This has been shown in the liberal support they gave to opera during the last season, when Nilsson was the star, and the season that has just commenced, with Lucca as the great attraction. Admitting that we have not so many first or even second rate artists to draw from as they have in Lon- don, Paris, Berlin or St. Petersburg; that there is considerable difficulty in inducing such art- ists to cross the Atlantic, and that when tempted to come it is only by managers paying them extravagantly for their services, still there are valuable and attractive auxiliaries to operatic performances that may be obtained at not so great a cost. The orchestra, for example, could be made better and the choruses be improved. In some operas a strong and effective chorus is so necessary that without it the whole performance may become flat. This defect has been complained of in the perform- ance of “L'Africaine,” notwithstanding the superb singing and acting of Pauline Lucca. Though we could hardly expect everything to run smoothly and entirely satisfactorily the first few nights of the season, for both the orchestra and choruses have to become well drilled, yet the public have a right to require greater efficiency, and we hope the managers will not disappoint expectation. Then, again, some of the artists who take first or important parts, except Lucca, -have not been careful enough with their voices. Making every allowance for the effect of our capricious climate at this season of the year, and upon these strangers particularly, the public have just reason to complain when these artists do not avoid taking colds and sing hoarsely and indifferently, When they do so the weight tories will exert a powerful influence upon New York, in common with all the other States of the Union. General Grant is strong among the people of this State, and there are good reasons for believing that he has been rather gaining than losing ground from recent events in this quarter. The re- publican State ticket, headed by the popu- lar names of General Dix and General Robinson, strengthens the national ticket of Grant and Wilson. But above all, tho dis- tractions and divisions among the demoerata of this city promise them anything but those heavy majorities required to overcome the republican strength of the rural districts, In 1868, under the imperial sway of the old Tam- many Ring, with its unlimited command of money, the democracy of this city rolled up the startling majority of some sixty, thousand for Seymour and close upon seventy thousand for Hoffman, whereby Seymour secured the Presidential Electors of the State by ten thou- sand, and Hoffman was elected Governor by twenty thousand majority. Now, is there any prospect fora metropoli- tan democratic majority on the Presidential or State ticket of seventy, sixty, or fifty thou- sand in the coming November? Tammany has been reconstructed on the basis of reform; Tammany professes a repudiation of Tweed and all his ring confederates and all their works; Tammany claims to be a reform organization, and yet Tammany in her preliminary movements for these ap- proaching elections is evidently falling back into her old ways. Had Tammany boldly perorsat Berlin. It is well that the Sultan should be assured that the Berlin Conference meant no harm to Turkey. All this is well ; but somehow our faith in princes is not great. Friendly visits have too often preceded serious war. What with the settlement of the Geneva Court of Arbitration and the peaceful results of the imperial conference, there is really some good reason to hope that an era of peace has dawned upon the world. This visit of the Russian Prince to Constantinople is in good time and in good taste. Repumt Cxicaco CereprateD YESTERDAY and bravely entered the field for reform with William Butler Duncan as her candidate for Mayor, and had she consistently followed up this reform nomination by others on her city tickets, known of all men as honest and fear- less reformers, she might have fused around her city candidates the rank and file, with few exceptions, of all the anti- Grant elements of the island. But Tam- many halts upon the mayoralty, and hedges to the back track on the judiciary, and in other things she betrays the handiwork of the scene-shifters of the old condemned Ring. What prospect, then, is there for a demo- the anniversary of its terrible fire, which hap- pened just a year ago. The details of that calamity are yet so fresh in the minds of the that the notes of thankfulness and rejoicing over the new city rising from the ‘ashes of the old will be hailed all over the world with a heartfelt sympathy for the Queen of the West aud her daunt- less children, The magnificent building of the new Chamber of Commerce was thrown open with appropriate ceremonies; the people appeared in their holiday habit, and the journals of the city came out in new and enlarged dresses also. This, indeed, is some- thing to be grateful for. Civilization rushed with one accord to the relief of the city in its hour of agony ; but the greatest triumph of all for humanity is that which shows in the rising structures on every side how nobly, deter- minedly and undismayed tho sufferers applied the words of Longfellow :— Trust not the future, howe’er pleasant; Let the dead past bury its dead, Act, act in the living present— Meart within and God o'erlicads cratic majority in this city sufficient to weigh down in November the majorities for Grant and Dix from the interior, the northern, western and southern counties of the State, stimulated as the republicans everywhere will be, and disheartened as the opposition forces must be by these October elections? We can only answer that the prospect in New York State is vastly improved in favor of Grant and Dix, and that under all these distractions and divisions among the democrats of the metrop- olis, and from the suspicious proceedings of Tammany, the city itself may be carried by the reformers outside the Tammany organiza- tion, Let us suppose that the reformers of the Committee of Seventy and the Grant re- publicans have united upon Havemeyer for Mayor and an acceptable city list of reformers; that the anti-Tammany democrats have nomi- of the performance falls upon the prima donna, and however ably she may do her part, it is unfair to her and unsatisfactory to the audience. Another drawback to first rate opera, as well as a great embarrassment to the managers, is the interference of certain cliques with the management. They have the absurd pretension to dictate what shall or shall not be performed and who shall or shall not per- form. They even engage the Bohemians, who are affiliated with them, to threaten and em- barrass the managers. They forget that the opera is for the public gratification and cultivation in music ond not merely to gratify their conceit and pretensions, The season has opened well, with the exceptions mentioned, is well supported by the people and fashionable society, and: promises to be a brilliant one. We are always: disposed to give the greatest encouragement to this delightful and refining amusement, and: in pointing out what improvements are needed we do so both in the interest of the public and for the benefit of the management. And here we must give the managers due credit for abolish- ing the claque and other kinds. of clap-trap, which heretofore was a nuisance, as well as for suppressing the vast and. indiscriminate dead-head system. It is a good indication for opera in the future when the managers are resolved to let it stand upon its merits. In Lucca they have all that could be desired in a prima donna. She has real genius, has no superior, if an equal, in the world, and both her singing and acting are exquisite. Let us have the orchestra and the choruses as good as they can be made, a conscientious per- formance by the other artists, and, if neces- sary, afresh supply of artists to aid those already engaged, and the season cannot fail to be successful and profitable, Mr. Lowz on tHe Geneva Awanp.—Tho British Chancellor of the Exchequer was recently complimented at Glasgow by a pre- sentation of the freedom of the city, Of course he made a speech, As this was close upon the arbitrators’ decision on the Alabama claims he alluded to that subject, declaring he had no doubt in the world that, as a mere question of the law of nations, England was not responsible for a penny of the claim, but, as friends might who had quarrelled, the two countries agreed together to establish certain rules in adjusting the difficulty and named certain men who were to apply those rules, say who had been in the wrong and what satisfaction should be made. He deprecated the delivery of an adverse judgment by Chief Justice Cockburn, thinking that when the matter is decided all are bound to act on it and none are justified in stirring up and renewing the strong argument against the American demand. The Chancellor advises the prompt and cheerful payment of the award without murmur or complaint. As he, doubtless, speaks tho sentiment of the gov- ernment of which he is a member, it is prob- able that, though the British public may read with interest the editorials which abuse the nated popular city candidates, headed by O'Brien for Mayor, and that Tammany has a list of candidates more in harmony with the policy of Tweed than with the cause of reform, arbitrators for their decision and applaud the Chief Justice for his obstinate dissent, the sooner the fine is paid and the matter forgot. ten the better will Joba Bull he oleaseide American jourzalism are rapidly bringing , about a change in the slower and less wide-| The news given in another column from one awake organs of Europe.

Among the English jour- nals one only has had the manliness to ac- knowledge the influence that American jour- nalism and American thought are exercising on tho Old World newspaper; but then the Daily Telegraph, a8 the most successful of all the London papers, can well afford to make the confession. Indeed, the success that has at- tended its career is in no small degree due to its having closely modelled itself on the Ameri- can press. Perhaps the best example of the growing in- fluence and importance of American journal- ism in Europe is furnished by the success of the American Register in the capital of France. Until a few years ago the only journal in the English language published in Paris was the English organ, the Galignani, which monopo- lized the patronage of the English-speaking people; but, in order to obtain a partial sup- port from the French population, one-half the paper was printed in the language of the coun- try. From time to time efforts were made to es- tablish an American paper, but the attempts had in every instance before the appearance of the American Register ended in failure. This was, no doubt, in great part due to the inexperience and want of training of those who undertook to carry out the project. Of course the diffi- culties to be surmounted were considerable, and at first sight the results to be obtained, even with success, seemed inadequate to the labor involved in the undertaking. Matters remained in this condition until the arrival in Paris of Mr. Ryan, the present editor and pro- prietor of the American Register. This gentle- man had been connected with the Hzratp, and received a journalistic training while on its staff that stood him in good stead when he prejudice. We see the staid and pretentious | North.

One expedition, under the lead of M. Pavy, is the only representative of those sciontists who think the true approaches to the Pole lie to the northward .of Behring Strait. This latter hypothesis was ably sus- tained and would have been gallantly tested by M. Gustave Lambert, the French savant, but that his life was sacrificed to his country’s defence in the late Prussian war. It is a great pity that there was no interna- tional concert in planning and despatching the present expeditions, one of which ought, by all means, to have been sent north of Behring Strait, if for no other purpose, to gather the harvest of magnetic, meteorological ond other scientific observations so much needed by the whole civilized world. We are not disposed to gauge the merit of any enter- prise by its merely pecuniary returns ; but the interests “of navigation alone require that every ray of light that can be collected should be brought to bear on the mysterious varia- tions of the mariner’s needle and the general physical phenomena that mark the high latitudes of the globe. The excellent experience afforded and the tone of hardy and skilful seamanship infused into a navy by such daring exploits as those of Wilkes and Ross, of Sir Edward: Belcher and other naval commanders of Arctic fleets, will amply warrant the government in sending out, at no distant day, an Arctic Surveying Expedition into the waters as yet almost unfurrowed which lie beyond Behring Sea. The subject may well engage the attention of our. naval authorities, There are doubtless great discoveries awaiting resolved to found an American organ which | the explorer of this unexplored region, in should rival the long-established but some- | which for the botanist, the naturalist and the what slow Galignani.

Unlike its rival the Register is wholly written ix English and relies for support on the English-speaking population. While preserving the valuable qualities of the American newspaper the Reg- ister has been somewhat modified to suit the habits of thought of the society for which it is written. It has therefore adopted some of the peculiarities of the French press, but this very adaptability is the best test of the abil- ity of the gentleman who controls its fortunes. He is not one of those unprogressive pvople who are unable to recognize that the chief merit of a newspaper is in reflecting accu- rately the state of society in which it existe, The tone of the paper is essentially Ameri- can, and the freedom an@ ability with which alt subjects are treated place the Register in the front rank of Parisian journalism. We are proud of the success that has been won by American energy and intelligence, and espe- cialfy proud of Mr. Ryan as an old attaché of the Hzraxp. When we consider that tie American Regis- ter yields little in the enterprise of its manage- ment to the best class of New York dailies we shall be able to form something like a correct idea. of the number and importance of the American colony in Paris upon whom it must rely for support. The attraetion of Paris for the transatlantic traveller seems to be irresist- ible,.and the growing popularity of European travel promises to furnish a:constant stream of readers toan American paper in the French capital. Mr. Ryan may, therefore, look for- ward to reaping a rich harvest in the future as the result of the enterprise and ability he has displayed in founding and managing his paper so as to place it in a position where it need fear-no rivalry. Indeed we: look forward to the day when the American Register will take the; place of the Galignani, or-at least so dwarf the.other, the older paper,. that its importance as anorgan of the English- speaking residents of Paris will be at an end. The work already sccomplished excites our admiration, and we recognize in it signs of the influence that the press literature of America, is destined to exerton the journalism of, the: There are other achievements for our national ships besides those of war; and, if the standard of excellence is to be kept up, the gallant men who man them, as some one has said, must have something else to do than to pick oakum or run over the masthead after topgallant yards. eyes Monarchist and Harry Bussett. The race at Jerome Park on Saturday last between the two great Lexington colts for the Maturity Stakes, was not merely a surprise in its result, but, as a closely con- tested race, has perhaps never been surpassed in the interest it suddenly excited while the running was in progress. Before the race the betting on Harry Bassett was ten to one,. with few takers; and, even on the second mile, though barely leading by a neck, the: sporting fraternity held their faith in his powers,.only to be: mistaken. The event was hailed with wonder, not unmingled with delight, that something had beaten the favorite; for fame on the turf is fickleness itself. It will, therefore, be of interest to: all who dote on.the chestnut King of the Turf, albeit dethroned, to learn that he will contest the crown. with Monarchist on Saturday next. They are both declared positively as starters in the: four-mile race for the twelve hundred dollar: purse. As Bassett was declared some- what out of condition on last Saturday every effort. is being made to bring him up to the required form for the coming stretch. Mon- archist, too, is receiving the close attention of his trainers, and we may conclude that they will| meet in excellent condition on the day aftento-morrow. The prospect of this meet- ing.of the two great horses at Jerome Park.is exercising all who admire speed and beauty in horseflesh, and as the money usually follows varieties of opinion in such matters we are sure that large sums will be changed there- anent.

Our State Tax. ¢ Comptroller Hopkins has issued a circular’ announcing that the Board of Equalization of ‘Taxes have fixed the sum to be raised by tax in the State for 1872 at $19,580,882 30, the levy being at the very high rate of 9§ mille. ‘This rate is high beyond precedent in the hia- tory of the State of New York, the highest ever known before being in 1870, when it was computed at 7 41-156 mills, In 1871 it was 5 79-120 mills. This heavy taxation for 1872 is made necessary by the deficiency of six anda half million dollars, by which sum the Legislature of 1870 and 1871 exceeded in appro- priations and expenditures the amount of the State's revenue for those years. ‘To cover this deficit calls for an addition of 34 mills te the levy for this year, which aside from that would be 5} mills, a fraction less than in 1871, and 1} mills less than in 1870. By an act of last Winter's Legislature it was proposed to take a vote of the people this Fall upon an amend- ment to the constitution creating this six anda halt million deficiency in the budgets of 1870 and 1871 a bonded debt, payable in three instal- ments atfour, eight and twelve years. Careful lawyers pronounced this proposition unconsti- tutional, because our fundamental law pre- scribes that only one proposition for an amend- ment to the constitution shall be submitted to the people at any one general election ; and a few days after the passage of this law relative to the debt the Legislature enacted that at the November election the vote shall be taken on an amendment extending the term of the Com- mission of Appeals, The latest act stands; so the former must fall. For that reason our taxes for this year are increased by about fifty per cent.

Four indictments were found against each and Judge Bedle increased the bail to twenty- eight thousand dollars.
