The four stories of the Vienna Exposition, despatched hither through the cable and pub- lished in yesterday's Heraup, were a journal- istic triumph that the world had never before witnessed. ‘Two of them were in English and two in the German language. The sale of the Huratp yesterday, as a consequence, was 198,400 copies, with a large demand left un- supplied. We publish to-day translations into English of the special Hznaup despatches of Berthold Auerbach and Louise Miithlbach. Yesterday, in the German language, they, were addressed to our fellow citizens of German birth; to-day they will be read by the English-speaking peo- ple of this great Continent. The occasion celebrated was one of joy, of pride, of hope to the peoples of the earth, The opening of the Vienna Exposition to all the peoples of the world was an event instinct with significance to all mankind, Pomp and pride of imperial and royal houses were there to bring new glories on great names, and to win new ac- claims for aright lordly respect of progress. In the half-sighted view of antiquity the mag- nates of the earth alone made history. Yes- terday the Henaup accorded to the actual Em- peror of Austria, the prospective Emperor of Germany and the coming King of England their prominent places in the festival. To-day we print in English the words of Berthold Auerbach and Louise Miihlbach, giving the place of honor to the peoples. From Gerns- bach, in the depths of the Schwargwald, Ber- thold Auerbach writes with a gifted pen his seer-like sentences of recognizing the democ- rac} in this great festival. Touchingly he draws the distinction to our German fellow citizen between the motherland of his birth and the childrenland of his posterity. We are reminded of the link that binds us to the Old World, where the presumptuous micro- cosm of the Exposition beside the Danube lifts its imperial crown to the skies. The chord of race that vibrates to the master touch of Auerbach is not stretched alone with the limits of the German's Fatherland. ‘Where German is the name for friend and French- man is the name for enemy’’ is too narrow a space for the sympathies of a philosopher whose philanthropy embraces the world. Mingling in the ocean of thought America is blended with Europe. The crested waves of progress gleam in the sunlight of universai love, and they advance on tides that should not recede, The ocean of thought rises above the rocks of hate and error. They are overwhelmed and hidden. The voices of the waters in a glorious diapason become the symphony of labor. This is the grent-hearted Germans’ dream of the World's Fair from the depths of the Black Forest. God grant that it may prove a reality. The world has had war and horrors and gory glory enough. We can ask for peace, and may it be the peace of the free. Brimful of legend the idyll of Auerbach flows along. The Argonauts of inquiry seek their Golden Fleece of wholesome thought, of valuable information, at Vienna. The Cinderella of Labor is lifted from the ashes to be glorified amid the world’s wonder beside her gleaming sisters Science and Art. The three combined are to be the Graces of the new dispensation.

Edmund Yates and Fohn Russell Young. A Leomiative Buunper.—Another remark- beet ee Be eee Be TS able ‘sxample of the demoralized condition of the present Legislature and the unsatisfactory form in which they have left the charter is given in our news columns this morning. It is immaterial, as regards the general effect, whether it is a blunder or a sharp piece of political jobbery. It will be sufficient for the people to know that, should the power of the President of the Board of Aldermen develop it- chainer of the lightning, beside Guttenburg, who unchained the Bible and set the prisoner, Knowledge, free. The juxtaposition is beautiful, for Auerbach could scarcely have spoken thus through the Henranp to his brethren in America if Franklin and Gutten- burg had not been. Force, thought and feel- ing united to produce our civilization, and Auerbach sends mankind to school at Vienna, there to learn of civilization ata glance what no man knew before. With idyllic tenderness he pictures Franklin walking with sorrowful musing among the terrible instruments of war, At the sight of the Star-Spangled Banner his heart is reassured that progress and freedom yet will mean peace. This is his grateful and heartfelt tribute to America, the land that nourishes so many of his brethren, the home of hope to all the downtrodden peoples of the world. From Vienna speaks the sweet story-teller of Germany, Louise Mihlbach. With the first dazzling impressions of the World’s Fair upon her mind she, through the Hrratp, greets her German sisters on the other side of the wide Atlantic. Famed as she is in story, and honored by the recognition of kings and princes, her next thought is to pay a tribute tothe independent press. The Khedive of Egypt had asked her to picture in German the wonders of the land he ruled, and she regarded it asa high honor. But higher and greater she thinks the call of the Hzraup to tell her story in her native tongue by the lightning’s and the printing presses’ aid to her German sisters so many thousand miles away. ‘To-day she speaks in the English tongue to the men and women of the world, and the great outflow of her thought will strike responsive echoes in every heart. The noble woman’s heart of Louise Mihlbach swells with cC@hscious pride as she imagines her words read lovingly so far away. And it is a day of pride for the Herstp that the opening of the Vienna Exposition has given it the opportunity to awaken an international sympothy in a great occasion pregnant with good to the whole human race. The moving deeds of man in the stern days of war, she says, have been the objects of Henatp énter- prise ; now she glories in the thought that she ig to note for the Heratp the deeds of man in the peaceful combat where the victory is with labor and ideas, present these beautiful thoughts surrounding the solid facts that the Hzrarn printed yester- day in its special despatches detailing the opening of the Universal Exposition. The issue containing them numbered 198,400 copies, which the public seized, still asking for more. We have had many instances in the history of this journal showing how the public greeted enterprise. The work of the Herato staff in many fields of danger and many golf into the proportions which the charter per- mits, the appointments to be made by Mayor Havemeyer are in a fair way to be set aside. ‘This blunder in the charter makers becomes even more vitally important when it is re- membered that it will legally invalidate all bonds and bills signed by the present Mayor, nd may thus temporarily embarrass the Guancial effains of the metropolis, paths of difficulty has brought its reward. The news of mighty struggles in our own and We are proud indeed that ours is the task to | it never has been before, Nearly two hun- ded thousand copies insured, from actual perusal of the Henan, two million readers at least. ‘To these the story of the Ist of May in the capital of Austria is now as familiar as to any person in or out of Vienna who did not witness the celebration with his own eyes. The translations elsewhere will speak for themselves, To those not familiar with the German language they will show how the hearts of the literary thinkers of Germany beat in unison with our own. They will form a brilliant supplement to the dual descriptions in the Hzmaxp of yesterday from the pens of Messrs. John Russell Young and Edmund Yates. The mechanical achievoment of the Henaxp in successfully securing the transmis- sion of so much news over the cable is one the difficulties of which few outside of the first order of journalists can comprehend. It was achieved, however, and tho result in the Henatp of yesterday was recognized by the public, who purchased and read with avidity the enormous issue of one hundred and ninety- eight thousand four hundred copies. Such are the substantial victories of peace. To have been the foremost journal in war and the fore- most in peace insure the Henaxy’s being fore- most in the appreciation of the nation. It is a lesson in independent journalism that all who run may read. . The Imprisonment of the Herald Commissioner in Cuba—Demands of the British Authorities. A telegraphic despatch from Havana, published in yesterday's Hzraup, conveyed the intelligence that the commander of the British gunboat Plover, after consultation with the British Consul at Santiago do Cuba, had arrived at Manzanillo, where the Hzratp commissioner, Mr, James J. O'Kelly, is now imprisoned, and ‘politely asked’ the Spanish authorities to release that gen- tleman, on the condition that he should be conveyed to Jamaica by the Plover and should not return to Cuba. The Manzanillo authorities, we are told, com- municated the British officer's message to the new Captain General at Havana, and the latter replied that it was impossible to accede to the request, that he was powerless to alter the laws of the country, and that the trial must proceed according to law. A later despatch from Havana advises us that the commander of ths Plover ‘has demanded the removal of Mr. O'Kelly to Havana for trial, an immediate change from his present unhealthy place of confinement and other measures for the mitigation of his imprisonment,"’ The response of the Captain General to the “request’’ of the commander of the Plover is unworthy of the position of that high official. It is a palpable evasion of a responsibility which he has no right to refuse to accept. He is the military autocrat of Cuba, and his decision in all such matters is final. There is no pretence that Mr. O’Kelly has violated any law of the island. The most that has been laid to his charge is that he has broken extraordinary military rules, only en- forced on account of the existence of the in- surrection, Over these rules the Captain General, as supreme military head, has abso- lute control, As a new ruler over the island and as the representative of a not too secure Republic, he may fear toincur the enmity and opposition of the bloodthirsty volunteers whose excesses have outraged civilization. Cowardice may thus have prompted his reply to the British commander; but the assertion that, as Captain General of Cuba, he is pow- erless in the matter, isa palpable falsehood. His order would release Mr. O’Kolly from his unjust imprisonment to-morrow if he had the courage and the honesty to doan act of jus- tice to an innocent man, The ‘‘demand’’ of the commander of the Plover is full of significance. The British nation has not heretofore been in the habit of demanding justice for a British sub- ject.as a mere matter of form and then leaving him to his fate. Its polite requests, when made through a man-of-war, have generally been backed by cleared decks and shotted guns, and thus have always been effective. It remains to be seen whether in this instance the subterfuges of the Captain General will be accepted as satisfactory, and whether the re- quest for the release of an unjustly imprisoned British subject will be abandoned on the first rebuff. Mr. O'Kelly has broken no law of the country in which he is imprisoned. His own published correspondence, written before his incarceration, triumphantly establishes his in- nocence and vindicates his honor. His déten- tion ina Spanish dungeon is a gross outrage upon his person and an insult to the powerful nation whose protection he claims. The Spaniards cannot afford to protract the farce and the wrong of his imprisonment. Every hour of his unwarranted incarceration is a dis- grace and an injury to his jailers. The action of the commander of the Bntish gunboat im- plies that the English government is not dis- posed tosubmit patiently to the insult put upon it by Mr. O’Kelly’s arrest, and the sooner the prisoner is set at liberty the better will it be for Spain. There is no just cause or excuse for Mr. O’Kelly’s further detention, and the Spanish authorities should certainly under- stand that an arbitrary exercise of their power over a defenceless prisoner will only be re- garded by the world as a proof of the weakness of their cause in Cuba, Tae Hovse or Commons aND THE TREATY or Wasminetoy—Anotuer Tory Grown— In the House of Commons last night a vain ang foolish debate took place on the decision of the German Emperor on the San Juan boundary question. The debate was com- menced by the member for Middlesex, who called attention to the naturo of the ref- erence to the treaty of 1846, which, under the Treaty of Washington, was submitted, together with the Northwestern Bound- ary question, to the decision of Em- peror William. Several members, as will be seen, took part in the debate. After several tory gentlemen had vented their wrath Mr. Gladstone rose. He contended that restricted arbitration was better than none, and that although the decision had been against England it had removed all causes of irrita- tion from and restored friendly relations between two great nations. Mr. Gladstone's speech seems to have acted like oil on the other lands has caused a sudden demand for the Heraxp, which, at the time, seemed mar- vellous. Here, however, in the case of a festival of peace, when men were busy with trade and not timorous that this or that interest of theirs was about to be imperilled, the enterprise of the Hunai is recognized ag troubled waters, for the subject was imme- diately dropped. It will be well if the oppo- sition henceforward leaves the Treaty of Washington alone. What is done cannot be undone, Well enough done, too! But the tories cannot forget that the Treaty of Wash- ington was not their work, Extending the City Limits and Open- ing the Harlem River for Naviga- tion, Two questions of great importance, con- nected with the interests and future of New York, are now looming up. These are relative to the annexation of Westchester county, or a part of it, to this city, and the widening of the Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvil Creek for navigation, The former is now pending be- fore the Legislature and has called forth public meetings and petitions favorable to the proposition, as well as some opposition from a few short-sighted and interested individuals. The latter is engaging the attention of the Chamber of Commerce. Both projects will soon become necessary, if they be not already, and have a close connection with each other. The parts of Westchester county bordering the Harlem and East Rivers, and for miles into the interior, contain a large and rapidly inoreasing population, a population which, in fact, is metropolitan and inseparably united in business and interest with the city of New York. Miles of street railroads extend from Harlem Bridge and cars run continuously in connection with the city railroads, There are all the elements of a great city on that side of the river. A stream of rs6ple cbbs and flows these hs along some of our principal thorough- fares, On Sundays especially the vast crowds crossing the Harlem Bridge and moving along the streets on the Westchester side give one the impression of being in the heart of a great city. Why, then, should not this population be citizens of New York? Why should they not share the burdens, as they have the advan- tages, of the city? The people of Westchester for the most part aro in favor of annexation because they know their property would be enhanced in value ond their business im- proved, and that these considerations out- weigh the inconvenience of a little additional taxation, even should their taxes be increased. Then, with rapid transit, which must come soon by one plan or another, many thou- sands of the working classes and people in moderate circumstances will seek homes in Westchester. Annexation, therefore, is # matter of public interest and necessity, and cannot have associated with it any job. The other project, to open the Harlem River for navigation, has been under the considera- tion of a Committee of the Chamber of Com- merce. It has, however, been seriously con- sidered for some time past} by speculators, for selfish purposes, and notably by members of the late Tammany Ring and their friends. The report just made to the Chamber of Commerce shows that the gentlemen having the matter in charge understand the importance of it. They are not ready to give their views lully upon the subject, and ask for more time, but they properly tecommend that the Legislature shall repeal all acts in favor of the Tammany Ring or others which make the opening of the Harlem River a job ora private enterprise. This great work is almost national in its char- acter, if understood and carried out right, and should be undertaken by the federal govern- ment, the State or the city. If a deep and broad ship canal from the East to the North River were made more com- merce would pass through it, probably, than through any canal in the world. And if there should be capacious docks in connection with it, as there ought to be, a vast saving would be made in the shipment and transshipment of produce and goods, and a revolution be effected in the business of the city. If this were accomplished, and the railroad system, the State canals and river trade were concen- trated at that point, the cost of shipping and transferring produce and merchandise would be greatly reduced and would do more to advance the commercial interests of New York than anything else. We hope the Cham- ber of Commerce will urge this matter and that the Legislature will act upon itin o broad and liberal spirit. Murrrany Monarcus at a Warn Lecgure.— The Emperors of Germany and Russia paid a visit during Thursday to General Todleben, the defender of Sebastopol, at his residence in St. Petersburg. Their Majesties remained while the General repeated his lecture on Sebasto- pol during the Crimean war. The subject is a gloomy one at all times, and must have been particularly so on May 1, 1873, by contrast of its leading past incidents with those of the great industrial history of the present hour. The Russian General is an accomplished scholar and soldier, and doubtless rendered his theme as attractive os possible to the dis- tinguished audience by which he was sur- rounded. He isa gallant gentleman, also, so that it may be accepted as certain that he did full justice to the bravery and dash of the French heroes who carried the ensign of their nation to the height of the Malakoff, even despite his knowledge of the fact that it has been since lowered in war, and lowered even in Paris, Tae Manvractunens anpD MencHants’ Bang, which was subjected to a slight run the other day, owing to some idle gossip in Wall street, invited an examination by the Clearing House, and demonstrated its complete sol- vency. The standing of this bank, as well as that of the Continental, was impugned at the time the Atlantic Bank collapsed, and hence the action of both institutions in soliciting an investigation at the hands of the Clearing House. No harm has been done by the sus- picions which gave rise to such measures of self-defence. On the contrary, they have re- sulted in clearing the financial atmosphere and restoring public confidence in the banks, News rrom Mexico.—A Herazp special telegram from Mexico, dated at Matamoros on the Ist inst., reports that the treaty pro- roguing the sittings of the Claims Commis- sion with the United States has been approved by the Congress of the neighboring Republic. The Lozada revolution has declined almost to the shadow of a shade, but the leader of tho movement is still at large. Mr. Hatch, father of the American Consul at Merida, is dead. Tur Scranton (Pa.) Times (republican) says ‘free trade never has been and never can bea question on which the democratic party or any other party can be solidly united.” When Pennsylvania politicians have any other view on that subject “expect larks when the skies fall.” The way for the ‘democratic or any other party’ to be united on free trade is to ignore Pennsylvania and her coal and iron interests positively and peremptorily, and never count upon her vote ina Prosidential election. YORK HERALD, SATURUVAY, -MAY 3, 1873.—TKIPLE SHEET. $$$ $$ The Trouble im the Holy Land—The Hastern Question Again. Our news of this morning*is to the effect hat the trouble between the Latin and Greek monks at Bethlehem has partially subsided and that order has so far been restored. We are not, however, permitted to think that the difficulty is ended. Russia, it is said, de- mands the punishment of the offenders, but the Porte hesitates to comply with such demands. The question is understood to be before the Great Powers, but so far as is known there is but little disposition to approach so delicate a subject. Would it be wonderful if, in spite of thé great peace demonstration at Vienna, the holy sepulchre difficulty should afresh kindle the flames of war in Europe? The Latin monks at the holy placed miss Napoleon. A champion for the moment is wanted. Italy, however, is agitated, and all the indications are that the war party will win. The Porte is taking alarm and making preparations for contingencies, as is evidenced by extensive purchases of war material. Russia must not be too daring and the Porte cannot be too cautious, fora Latin crusade in favor of the holy places is still a possibility. A gigantic war turning upon this very Hastern question is, perhaps, not far removed from us in point of time. On this question at least the Latin races could unite. Such a union, once effected, might be a lasting gain. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour is at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

Rochefert and other communists are reported to have been concerned ina plot to escape from St. Martin de R¢. They had almost succeeded in their purpese when their work on the prison walls was discovered. . Kemal Bey and Tevilk Bey, editors of Constanti- nople newspapers, have been arrested and their journals suppressed for advocating unsound prin- ciples, Kemal Bey is well known as a writer and was formerly Governor of Gallipoli. A prisoner lately before the Court of Sadne-et- Loire, France, persistently refused to state his name or antecedents, “It is for the honor of my family,” he replied to questions about his silence. His filial piety was not heeded, and he was sen- tenced to fifteen years’ imprisonment, M. Segher’s suspension from the duties of Com- missary of Police at Courtrai, Belgium, has raised a serious religious controversy. The liberals say that the Commissary’s only offence was in éating meat on Good Friday, while the Church adherents declare that his drunkenness on that day was a public scandal and that he should be dismissed. How nice it must be to be bandaged and poul- ticed when you are not unwell, and only that med- ical students may practive upon you! Yet that is how persons only slightly ill are treated who apply at the Liverpool (England) Royal Infirmary, ‘For,” sald the chief surgeon of that institution lately in court, “‘we must humor them, and it affords the students goed practice.” Mr. Price, of the Manchester (England) City Council, overcome by local prejudice, observed in that body, on the 16th ult., that “it was all very well for Liverpool, getting large sums of money by questionable means to expend it upon qnestiona- ble purposes, Liverpool, sitting astride the in- dustry of Lancashire, was growing rich on the proceeds of her nefariously gathered—although they might be legal—rates.” The Mayor and others disclaimed these sentiments, and so far in- fluenced Mr. Price as to induce him to say that ifhe had said anything which reflected on Liverpool he withdrew it at once. A GREAT NEWSPAPER, [From Peterson’s Philadelphia Counterfeit Detec- tor, May 1.) The New York HERALD is now confessedly the first newspaper in existence, Every day in the 865 of every year it embraces tho very latest intel- ligence from the four quarters of tne globe, This enterprise is appreciated by the wide-awake busi- ness men of New York, who rush to its office with advertisements in such number as to frequently compel the issuing of a quintuple sheet. A paper of this colossal size involves a bill of $5,000 to the type-setters alone, uses up 5,624 pounds of metal in stereotyping, and keeps a paper mill busy, The enterprising proprietor and publisher of the HERALD, James Gordon Bennett, deserves the great patronage bestowed upon his mighty enterprise, for he is a faithful servant of the public in every particular, despatching his writers far and wide to obtain the best authentic information of what is transpiring from the Nortn to the South Pole. The HrkaLp’s editorial columns are as bold, frank, honest and outspoken as its news department 18 extensive and fresh. There is but one NEw York Heraup, and James Gordon Bennett is its pub- lisher. (From the Watertown (N. Y.) Reformer, May 1.) Sunday's Nsw York HgRaxp is a quintuple sheet, comprising twenty pages, or 120 columns. Nearly eighty of these columns are devoted to advertise- ments. If that is not success then it 1s difficult to know what success means, OBITUARY. George B. Hicks.

San Francisco, May 1, 1873, The following despatch was received from Yreka this afternoon :—Captain Silva and Mr. W. S. John- 80D arrived from the front this afternoon, having left General Gillem’s camp on Tuesday morning. Mr, Johnson believes there has been nothing done since the battle of the 26th inst. Everything was quiet, and no different line of policy in fighting the Modocs had been settied upon, THE REGULAR CAMPAIGN A FAILURE. The opinion prevailed that it would be perfect folly to attempt to whip the Modocs after the man- ner pursued thus far. No scouting has beem done and nothing heard from Lieutenant Cranston and the missing men, whose bodies have probably been burned, THB BODIES ON THE FIELD, Eight bodies are known to be still on the field of battle or burned, Captain Mehdenhall’s command arrived in camp on the 28th from South Tule Lake.
