There is treachery in the citadel. e very atmos- 1s now pa of our city, se long loaded with frau d with murder. The Catholic Review discourses on ‘Papal Excommunications’’ and other matters, and furnishes its usual variety of well-culled for- eign religious intelligence. The Boston Pilot (Catholic) is inclined to be humorous when, in referring to the Crédit Mobilier matter, it says: —“Evidently the Vice President doesn’t believe in confession,” and adds: — He means to wriggle out some way or other; but he cuts a poorer figure to-day before the country than even Ames or Brooks, who will, we hope, in élinking out of Washington, after expulsion, be in Ahe pious company of Colfax and Patterson, The Jewish Times refers to the movement to -Christianize the federal constitution, and reit- erates that it has “too implicit confidence in the good sense of the masses and the high intel- lectual accomplishment of the majority of our legislators to entertain any fear as to tho result of this mischievous agitation.’’ It calls the attention of its Christian friends to the fact that in His Christian Majesty’s most Christian government of Prussia it is the Jewish repre- sentative Lasker who exposes jobberies, swin- -dles and corruptions in the highest govern- ment circles. Do you want, demands our Jewish contemporary, ‘to furnish our repre- ‘sentatives one cloak more wherewith to hide their iniquity, and haye our Congress com- posed of noiie but saintly Pomeroys? bw Church and State is disposed to deal gently | with some of our criminals, and expresses its conviction that, ‘notwithstanding the excited state of the public mind, there is little fear that & man need have for his life who is upright, keeps out of bad company, and relies upon no defence but his consciousness of rectitude, the safeguards of law and the protection of the ‘Providence of God.” This depends a good eal upon what kind of company o man is ‘obliged to keep in a horse car at certain times, Still the good tide of religious revivals is rolling on. We hear of its steady progress in various parts of the country. The End of the Ball Season. With the entertainment given by the Lied- erkranz on Friday evening the ball season may be said to have come to an end. We should say that it had been a merry season did we not believe that we should thereby lay ourselves open to be called to account. For what is merriness? Is there any clement of true happiness in it? And what sort of enjoy- ment is that which feeds upon displays of rich diamonds and handsome dresses, eats and drinks at midnight after the stomach has done all the work that can reasonably be required of it, and goes to bed, wearied and spiritless, at an hour when the mower whets his scythe and the man of action and ambition is up and ready for his cold bath? In a certain sense much of what the newspapers have said in their reports of the balls of the season is true. People of fashion, wealth and style were there—people whose approving nod the strag- glers in society madly covet. Money was there, and art was exhausted, and the latest inventions in dressmaking were taxed to the utmost. All that upholsterer, scene painter, caterer, florist, jeweller and mantua maker could achieve was absorbed, until not o surplus particle remained. Gilded youth and silvered age met as usual. The dancing floor—that marvel of wooden lubric- ity—was arabesqued with gorgeously cos- tumed women, the divinest expositions of society and our New York Worths. The choicest restaurateurs supplied the bills of fare, | and Nilsson Hall repeatedly beheld the lively moral spectacle of ethereal girls gorging them- selves on chicken-salad and accummulating something like a leer from one glass too much of Moet and Chandon. Blood mounted to many a beautiful, youthful cheek, and sensu- ous tremors passed their enervating magnet- isms through the round dance. Ladies’ dresses were described in the morning papers with a technical precision that might have | brought tears of congratalation to the eyes of- Madame La Modiste, and the names of distin- guished guests were printed with all the pain- ful accuracy bestowed on the report of a Con- | gressional vote. Most of our Metropolitan | journals devoted column after column to the | entrancing theme as spontaneously as the | widow gave her mite, and relays of reporters crowded the private rooms of the Academy, while the entire auditorium was pervaded with reconnoitring scouts. And when each fresh ball was over how we all felt as though a gor- geous storm had passed over our heads, of ‘which we could remember nothing but music, satin, champagne and chandeliers! How we all insisted that each affair was more brilliant ‘than any of its predecessors, secretly conscious ‘that the whole thing was a sham at heart ; that our satisfaction was hypocrisy, our pleasure factitious, and the felicity with which we looked forward to the next entertainment a humbug and a fraud! And now, here is society arriving at the close. of the season, qwith Lent at hand, and her prayer-book and pocket handkerchief piously up to her eyes. Fasting, instead of fast, is the pending condi- tion of every girl of the period who respects herself. Fashion prepares to attire herself in sackcloth (with a silk lining) and regrets that her ashes of mourning cannot be ashes of rose. Flirtation flatters herself that she forsakes the pride of life wher she merely exchanges it for the vanity of religion. . But it is far from our desire to write bit- terly. All the world cannot be a conversa- sione where scientific wits utter epigrams which beautiful blue stockings inspire. Balls -will continue to be a popular institution so Jong as that much-criticised atem, the averaga and the opera bouffé tag-rag the one extreme is glorified by the pervasion of a noble senti- ment and the other is not so ruffianly and obscene as it wasa year ago. Let us rejoice that the Firemen’s Ball has enjoyed so many and such well-attended anniversaries that it can now afford to die of good old age, and that the oblivion into which it will sink is not dishonorable. Of the Arion and the Lieder- kranz it will perhaps be sufficient to say that they do not improve with time, and that the discontinuance of neither would inflict an irreparable injury on the community. Will- ingly a week or two ago we paid our tribute to the French Cooks’ Ball, taking off our hat and making our little bow, with a sense of the genius of Blot and Francatelli, and a cordial concession that the man who could cook well hada peculiar right to make merry and be glad with Terpsichore. Of all vanity and vexation of spirit the greatest is the habit of declaring that the world is full of them. Let us not carp too much at a certain portion of society for professing to find more gratifica- tion in the periodical twirling of its toes than it really does. The ball season is a season of show and sham ; but who shall say that the Lenten season immediately following is en- tirely destitute of these characteristics ? Another Cold Blast Threatened. Again we are to have another freezing spell, as predicted by the weather prophets, who yesterday announced very cold weather on the Lower Lakes. The reports from the Northwest have indicated a recurrence of the intensely cold Arctic blast of December last, with thermometers twenty and thirty degrees below zero. The Winter may be near its close, but we may expect some rude manifes- tations of its rigor before the Spring is es- tablished. Last year one of the most terrible frosts and colds of the season visited this sec- tion on the 2d of March, and, for the time, nipped the buds of Spring and put its seal upon the water courses. We may take warn- ing from the proverbial uncertainty of the March weather. The country north of us, beyond the Lakes, must now be covered with ice and snow in solid sheets, and with every blast that blows from the far North we may be deluged with this Polar afr, In the East- @iind Middle States it is too early for the fruit to be affected; but if the cold should again be as great in the Southern States as it has been this Winter it must be very destruc- tive to the outcropping vegetation. Appeals to Mercy Versus Appeals to Justice. When the public voice is raised against an astonishing growth of crime the safety of a society which is menaced must be respected. Regarding certain of our criminals under sentence of death endeavors are being mado to invoke the power of mercy as against the right of justice. Mercy, we are told, falls like the gentle dew from heaven, and its quality is not strained. It“is an appeal which touches all hearts with a single throb of humanity in them. The life of a human being is a sacred thing, and its cutting short by process of law something deservedly hedged in by grave limi- tations. The judicial killing of a man, apart from the awful nature of the punishment itself, entails such consequences of sorrow and shame on those near and dear to him that one would be stony-breasted indeed to say they had no weight. But it will be re- marked that, whatever moving power these arguments may have, they apply with equal force to human life and its entwinings, for which the mur- derer is called upon to suffer. Spare the murderer because of the pain his hanging will inflict upon himself and those that love him is an argument that must be placed beside the fact that the murderer when he slew his victim was deaf to such a thought as mercy or com- miseration. It brings back in all its painful force the unworthiness of the slayer to any consideration on that score. With him alone, after all, must society deal. The issue cannot be shifted from the killer and the killed to the families or friends of the one or the other. As it would be a manifest injustice to make a man’s crime the greater or the less on account of the class in society on which he had inflicted a loss, so is it absurd to think that the man’s social surroundings should influence the pun- ishment meted out. It is hard, pitiless logic. But let us see why it should be grimly carried to its conclusion. In New York, as we have often pointed out, the crime of homicide has been frightfully on the increase. We have also observed that in proportion as the execution of convicted mur- derers became a rarity homicides grew in numbers. It therefore becomes evident hat either murder should be encouraged by a o- laration that punishment is a thing of tt past or else that law in all its fore, and majesty must be upheld and the criminals made to suffer. To the latter alter- native public opinion has with single purpose directed its attention. People the reverse of bloodthirsty applaud the sentiment of justice, and ruffianism begins to feel a check upon its lately unbridled career. Now we may feel assured, should public sentiment allow itself to be stemmed by illogical appeals to mercy, or should justice halt in the path it has entered, that ruffianism, ever on the qui vive for its opportunity, will take a new lease of life. The principle involved in the punish- ment of murderers has its roots in the deepest secrets of human nature. It is the deliberate condemnation by the better part of the worst part. The access of brutality which results in homicide must need a stern repressor, like the death penalty, or murder in the best civilizations will be regard¢d as of no greater consequence than other crimes, for which imprisonment or fine has been thought sufficient. For these reasons we say that when man is by law found guilty of murder he should be hanged, whatever his social posi- tions, surroundings or connections. The sentimental appeal to mercy must be unheard where the appeal to justice is so grave a necessity. . OBITUARY, William H. Mason. William H.

TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Mapr0, Feb. 22, 1873. The Zmparoctal to-day announces that the Minis- try have before them, for immediate consideration and decision, questions of the gravest importance, the settlement of which will involve a Ministerial crisis. Itmay be that the crisis will be averted with the loss to the government of the services of General De Cordoba, Minister of War; but ft is thought probable that all the Ministers who adhere to the radical party will resign. The idea of a federal republic, conservative in general policy, is said to be gaining ground in all portions of the country. Sefior Figueras, President of the Council, is in- disposed. THE ARMY. Thirty-two colonels and forty lieutenant colonels of artillery, of the regular army, have resigned their commissions and their resignations have been accepted. LOYALTY TO THE NEW REGIME, The authorities throughout Catalonia and of other sections of the country have reiterated their Notices of adhesion to the government of the Re- public, The statement that French Communists have en- tered Spain is declared to be untrue.

No progress reported MINISTERIAL STATEMENTS OF THE CONDITION OF THE REPUBLIC, During the sitting of the National Assembly yes- terday Sefiors Castelar, Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, and Echegarry, Minister of Finance, made statements with reference to the condition of the Republic, tending to allay apprehension concern- ing the movements of the Carlists and the course of reactionary partisans, The Ministry presented a proposal to apply ten million reals from the war fund for the purchase of improved small arms. Ministers also declared that the government will punish, with proper severity, all excesses on the part of those who persist in insurrectionary violence. CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM, Sefior Nicolas Saimeron, Minister of Justice, has prepared and will shortly present to the Assembly a bill for the abolition of capital punishment for any offence whatever. The Situation at Barcelona and Among the Suburban Population—Contradic- tory Statements to Paris and in Madrid. PARIS, Feb, 22, 1873, Reports have reached here of serious disturb- ances at Barcelona, the cause and extent of which are unknown. No particulars of the nature of the trouble have been received beyond the statement that they involve both the citizens of Barcelona and the troops of the regular army in garrison there, and that the, red flag of the Commune has been displayed, not only at Barcelona, but at seve- ral other towns in the province, Spanish Official Explanation and Cavinct Satisfaction to the People. MADRID, Feb. 22, 1873. It is officially announced that there has been serious agitation at Barcelona, growing out of the withdrawal from garrison there of favorite troops. No violence was resorted to, however, and quict has been restored without resort to forcible meas- ures on the part of the government. The report that the red flag was displayed at Barcelona or elsewhere, is denied. Later advices from Barcelona give particulars of the origin of the troubles. The Captain General, during a temporary absence, left his second officer in command of the garrison, The temporary com- mander, suspecting that the officers of the munici- pal government were in the interest of the Al- Phonsist party, assumed entire control of the municipality, suspending the functions of the civil officers, and establishing a substantial condition of martial law. The troops of the garrison were placed under arms and reviewed, but the majority of the men were in sympathy with the people, who were unwilling to submit tothe measures of the military commander. Under orders trom Madrid the officer abandoned his interference witn the municipality, and quiet was restored without any disturbance of a serious nature.

RUM AND WATER. A Temperance Meeting Turned Into a Liquor Gathering anda Souffle in Consequence— Indignation of the Cold-Water Men. Workingm PrrrsBorG, Pa., Feb. 22, 1873. There is considerable excitement in this city to- night, and early this evening a conflict was threat- ened between a number of the most prominent citizens of Pittsburg. The friends of temperance and dealers in spirituous beverages as well are just now greatly interested on the subject of Local Option, and neither side is halt- ing in preparations for the conflict at the polls, which is expected next month, The temperance men have been considerably encouraged by the result in several districts where they had no expectations of success, and the other side, as an offset, have also had triumphs; while the results in all cases where the matter, thus lar, has come to an issue have created an in- tense interest in the final test, and have caused each side to redouble their exertions to accomplish their ends. The attention of the temperance men is directed to the fact that THR LOCAL OPTION LAW has been so clumsily drawn that it becomes a very serious question whether, under its provisions, there could be a vote taken in this and in some other counties for the next three years, The ques- tion thus raised was considerably discussed, and the result was difficulties. The ambiguity of the law was perceived, and it was brought to the at- tention of the Legislature in a proposed amend- ment, which passed without opposition through one branch, but has been very considerably delayed in the other, 80 much so that some of its advocates begin to fear that it never will be ratified. For some days correspondence has been pub- lished in the daily papers relative to a mass meet- ng for the expression of public opinion upon the Local Option law. A call was issued signed by the most prominent merchants and manufacturers of the city, requesting Mayor Blackmore to fix an evening for such a meeting. He did so and this was the the nature of the correspondence, The meeting was to be. held at the City Hall to- night, and as the call was for a mass meeting of citizens, liquor men considered their rights there as great as any other persons. So ai the time fixed for the meeting representatives of THE LIQUOR LEAGUE who have been bold and bitter in the fight with the advocates of cold water, crowded into the hall, and in a twinkling of an eye the large edifice was filled to overflowing with those opposed to temperance. W. D. Moore, who was Chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee, was on the stage, in a moment called the meeting to order, and officers were appointed comprised of men of high standing in the com- munity. The President then commenced to read the resolution denouncing a restriction of the liquor interests, and had got half through, when a brass band in the employ of the temperance party poured out music so loud that the audience could not hear a word that came from the stage. A rush was made for the musicians, and they were FORCIBLY EJECTED FROM THE HALL and quiet for a time reigned. The resolutions were them finished and unanimously adopted. At this point the temperance men endeavored to be heard insisting that the hall had been granted for a dif- ferent purpose than that to which it had been put to use. James Park, Jr., a wealthy steel manufacturer and an advocate ot temperance, succeeded in get- ting a foothold on the stage and endeavored to speak. His voice was drowned in hoots and yells, and he was finally compelled to yield. Excitement ran very high and several scutiies took place in dif- ferent parts of the hall; but the liquor imterest was too strong, and these opposed to it lemgth re- luctantly withdrew. jut half-past ene o'clock the temperance men secured another hall, where they held a meeting, denouncing the action of the liquor men as mean and cowardly.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALS. Lonpon, Feb, 22, 1873. An interesting suit, involving the question ot property in telegraphic news, has just been decided on an application for injunction before one of the Vice Chancellor's Courts. The Telegraph Despatch Company, an organization for the transmission of news and for other business connected with tele- graphs, is plaintiff, and James McLean, until recently manager of the company, is defendant. The directors of the company, believing that their manager was using the connections and facilities of the company for his private advantage and to their detriment, removed him from his position, A chancery suit was then brought by the company, to recover damages from McLean for his past operations, and also to restrain him from competition with tbe company, in which, it was alleged, he would use the news facilities and connections of the company of which he had obtained control while in its employ as manager. The Chancellor granted an order restraining McLean from engaging in any manner in the busi- ness of sending telegraphic news, The defendant in the action is the London agent of the American Press Association at New York, to which he has hitherto sent news.

The Union Pacific Railroad was blocked for a few hours yesterday with snow. The trains to-night are again on time, THE GRAPHIC, A GREAT UNDERTAKING. The Daily Graphic=The Wonder ot Modern Journalism. (New York correspondence of the Louisville ee ecee As a matter of public interest I propose to give in this correspondence a short account of the new newspaper enterprise about to be startea in New York city. I allude to the illustrated evenirg Pace ich ig announced to appear early in jarcl The name of the newspaper that is to present this novel phase of journalism is the Datly Graphic. It is to be an evening paper somewhat larger than the New York Ledger, making eight pages, one-half of which will be filled with pictures and the other half reading matter and advertisements, and will be sold at five cents per copy. The managers of the new enterprise are J. H. and C. M. Goodsell, who have had long experience both as journalists and publishers. According to the claims of the proprietors of this journal, photo-lithography has reached a point where it is now, for the first time, under complete mechanical control, and hence its application to journalism 1s feasible, and a dally illustrated news- aper is at last a brilliant possibility. We have Rete the means of giving the daily current events to the eye as well as to the aya aaiceret Several new inventions have rendered this pos- sible. In the first place, the application of steam to lithographic inting bas worked a@ revolution in the business of printing from stoi With the old hand-presses it was idle to expect y great or rapid multiplication of copies; but now it ig possible to strike off the impressions by and get as good pictures as were produced by hand. As yet Mthographic printing by steam is not so rapid as rotary or cylinder press work; but a single steam lithographic press working @ single stone is capa- ble of producing from 1,000 to 1,: impressions of the largest sized sheet per hour, and by multi ly ing the number of “‘transfers’’—using six or aig t diferent stones on 48 many different presses—th publishers of the Daily Graphée will be able to pro- duce from 10,000 to 15,000 copies per hour. Recent inventions in photography, \- cially the transfer of the photographic picture to stone—have marvellously cheapened the whole system of copying illustrations. By certain pro- d by the Graphic Vompany it is now possible to take a printed engraving or an ar- tist’s sketch and have it transferred to the litho- ‘aphic stone in from twenty minutes 0 ours. Indeed, it is claimed by the proprie if this new paper that the artist can e the ilius- trations Of an event and the workman transfer the picture te stene as rapidly as the reporter can write and the compositor ‘set up”’ hi: copy, and that in the same paper will appe le vide, the report of some remarkable eve ad the pic- torial illustration of that event, and that neither ene nor the other will have any advantage in pea of execution. But it is asserted that not only are these things mechanically possible, but that, in point of cheapness, the processes are incomparable, and that the cost of phy | the picture upon the stone is actually no more than the cost of putting the type upon the press; in other words, the artist and the transforrer will cost no more for the same amount of space than will the reporter and the type setter. hs an instance of the wonderful results to be at- tained by tunis process the invéntors say that if such a work as Dickens’ “Oliver Twist” were just received in New York by steamer an enterprising Pane might, by the aid of this invention, hrow upon the market, within @ week, @ large rfect fac-simile of the work—letter- press, Cruikshank’s illustrations and all.
