Pamsce Bismance, it is again confidently stated, is about to retire from his post as Premier of Prussia. He will still, however, remain Chancellor of the Empire. The re- tirement of Bismarck, in the sense thus indi- cated, will make no perceptible change in the politics of Prussia, and as Chancellor of the Empire we may rest assured that he will not permit any damage to befall the edifice which he has so laboriously and successfully raised. Brack Famar m tee Sours.—¥ Maryland saw a sorry sight. Two of her citizens, arrested, tried and convicted of horrible murder, were strangled to death. The fiends were negroes, men and brethren, and of that class rightly called dangerous. The story of their strocious deeds is a black chapter in the wide chronicle of the day. Itis most creditable to the people of the neighborhood in which these murders were committed that the law was not set at defiance by any representative of Judge Lynch. Virginia, as our despatches show, had also an oxééhtion, and the narrative our correspondent gives of that terrible kill- ing of two elderly ladies bya half reclaimed gorilla and the subsequent proceedings fn the case will be read with.great interest all over the Union. That these murderers were not torn to pieces by the citizens is a fresh proof to us that the people of Virginia and Maryland are law abiding. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1873—Wittl SUPPLEMENT. py sibs e+ pre bt rad er Wpesay termminadion. We have always in these The Coming to rich MM, coped 0 Gad Grime. ‘The of the / ha Se fe Kate! Stoddard, ‘as, it would appear, cleared up| the mystery in the matter of the killing of Chasles Goodrich, A young woman, named Handley, who was acquainted with the mysterious “Kate,” ‘was sot upon the track, with tkree thousand five hun- dred dollars as an incentive, and, having met ‘Kate’ near the ferry in Brook- lyn, caused her arrest. On discovering the residence of ‘Kate’ her lodging wos searched, and the property of tho murdered man found in her trank—his watch, his ring, his pistol and some money believed to have been his. Such are the bare outlines of the case.as it now stands. At tho adjourned inquest, which will be held to-day, it is con- fidently expected that this emaciated woman will make @ full confeasion of the murder committed last March. With the thrill which the ghastly story is certain to awaken the ghosts of the undiscovered mur- ders of New York will again be called forth as they part company with the case of Goodrich. We learn from our reporters that the police authorities in Brooklyn have felt wounded at the comments of the press on their manage- ment of the case. On what grounds they expect that line of comment, which was not complimentary, to be changed to one of lauda- tion we cannot precisely see. That the woman ‘Kate Stoddard’ is in -the hands of justice does not excuse all the pitiful bungling and vain trumpet- blowing which marked their conduct in the matter when the public was first excited by the murder. The flourish made over. the ar- rest of the woman Lucette Myers and the re- luctance with which they set ber at liberty aro within recollection. The arrests in various places of ‘‘Roscoes,’’ who turned out not to be the Roscoe wanted, are also easily recalled. It is worth while contrasting Lucette’s state- mont that she has seen Roscoe several times since her release with the boastful statements of her having been ‘shadowed’ by the police. Personally acqauinted as she was with “Kate Stoddard,”’ the police do not seem to have attempted to induce her to take any steps in causing the arrest of either the manor the woman, That fine part of the de- tective’s art which stirs up those with knowl- edge in a case to impart it seems to have been wholly wanting. Lucette Myers could have very little feeling in common with the woman accused Of murdering her lover; yet the only impression the police suc- ceeded in leaving upon her mind was that they were bent upon persecuting her. But the most extraordinary part of this strange story lies in the relation of how this woman of many alinses passed the long inter- val between the murder and her arrest. With the murdered man’s valuables in her trunk she quietly took a lodging in Brooklyn, the city where the deed was done, and at the same time pursued her business of straw-hat making in New York or at her new residence. For over three months she continued unmolested, and a chance meeting with Mary Handley alone led to the arrest. Victor Hugo, in ‘‘Les Miserables,’’ dwells with great force on the perfect desert which a man may make for himself in the heart of a ,crowded city. He places Jean Valjean in Paris; but he gives him money enough to live in a house to himself and Cosette and change his outward man consider- ably. For three months this woman lived with a reputation of perfect ladylike behavior in the city where the murder was committed, and passed to and fro by the ferryboat at will. We aro glad indeed of the arrest, and are will- ing that the Brooklyn police should get what credit they deserve ; but at present cannot be certain that much is due them. The cases of Rogers and Nathan will now loom up once more, as well as the latest case of Kustner, the Stettin merchant, in Hoboken, as the public seizes with avidity on the details of the Goodrich murder, that of o paramour by a discarded mistress. In the Kustner mys- tery, as in that of Rogers, the object was un- doubtedly mere sordid plunder, in the way of which a human life was supposed to stand. The murder of Mr. Nathan, deeper in its mys- tery, bad also the same object—robbery—as its inducing cause. In the case of Goodrich there is a gathering of evil passions which clothes the crime with an intensity of painful inter- est. After the first failore of the police in the case public interest gradually declined regarding the murderer of Goodrich. It was remarked at tho time that the doings of the deceased, as deposed to on the trial, had much to do with this. His life, which while he lived bore outwardly the semblance of respectability, had been one tinged with o stramge, stooping immorality, which was not slow of producing a revolting effect upon the public mind. When it was dé- veloped that the well-to-do property owner in Brooklyn was in the habit of prowling around the poorer streets of New York, following a poor seamstress to her home and keeping up an acquaintance with her which could scarcely have had an honorable intent, @ darker shadow “wad thrown on the murder. When it came to light that the “other woman” was 46 mistress on whom he had desired @ criminal operation to be performed, and on whom, according to report, it was afterwards performed, the public shrunk backward from the murdered man, and pity for his fate seemed almost dead. He had used the mysterious woman and tired of her and turned her away. That he had not done it with a motive in any way creditable is seen in his pursuit of the same means of passionate gratification almost up to the time of his murder. The story is full of warning to the young and giddy of both sexes, It shows how terrible are the risks taken by those who give free bridle to their brutal pas- sions and at the same time eliminate humanity from their breasts. The fate of Charles Good- tich is a ae a ‘Gears to pr who try 3 et Per wardly at péico with Bociety, yot ry reve row under the social crust to reach some stratum of viciousness they would be dis- gtaced if known to indulge in. In the miser- ble cast-off mistress turned out of her hiding place the flerce passion of revenge, the deadly spring of sudden hate, can be generated ns terribly as in any dramatist’s dream. Bell hath no fary like a woman scorned, Nor earth a pang like love to hatred turned, soys Byron.

We present no apology for the crime (of which this woman, so fiery-tempered by ‘report and so. cold-blooded normally, is about to accuse herself, if report be» true. ‘We ere® not willing to look on it as anything but a horrible mur- der, wherein the worst passions that can surge around the human. heart enter as aggravations rather than palliatives. The deep sin which began the criminal relation may have had its abettors on both sides. They defied the possibilities of human fortune by plunging into an abyss where every moral is get at naught, and where the murder of ‘an unborn babe is no more ‘to be unexpected than the murder of a man or a woman. The position which the man Roscoe oecupied in tho story, so far as known, shows that in that direction a murder was ripening, even if Roscoe had no hand whatever in the itaelf. Tho case when fally developed we have no doubt, prove of grenter interest than any in our city or Brooklyn for many years. The Approaching. Marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh and the Grand Duchess Maric, of Russia, A cable despatch, special to the Hznaxp, to be found elsewhere in these columns, brings to us the important intelligence.that the mar- riage of Alfred Ernest, Duke of Edinburgh, and the Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrowna, the fourth child and only daughter of the Czar of all tho Russias, has finally been agreed upon. This marriage, it is well known, has for somo time been in contempla- tion. On the occasion of the recent visit of the Empress of Russia to Italy the Duke of Edinburgh was known to be a constant and favored visitor. Since that time the proposed marriage has no longer been a secret. It was known that some obstacles stood in the way, among others the Prince’s right of succession to the Dukedom of Saxe-Coburg Gotha on the death of his uncle, These obstacles, what- ever they were, have at last been ro- moved; the Prince, it is said, has Tenounced his claim to the Duchy, and the marriage contract was signed at a late hour last night. Tho Duke of Edin- burgh was born on the 6th of Au- gust, 1844, and is consequently on the eve of completing his twenty-ninth year. The Grand Duchess Marie, the bride elect, isin her twentieth year, having been born on the 17th of October, 1853. Both from a family and political point of view this pro- jected marriage must be regarded as highly important. By marriage the royal family of England and the imperial family of Russia are now closely allied to most of the reigning houses of Europe. The Guelphs are German pure and simple, and the daughter of Queen Victoria, if spared, will be Empress of Ger- many. The Romanoffs are more German than Russian, and the daughter of the Czar is the present Queen of Greece, The imperial fami- lies of Russia and of Germany and the royal families of England, of Denmark and of Greceo aro all most intimately related. In view of present complications it is im- possible not to regard this marriage as a guarantee of peace While the world has been dreading a conflict of arms between Ruasia and England in the East, tho two governments have been quietly negotiat- ing a friendly alliance of the most tender and interesting kind. It will be the first alliance of the kind ever consummated between those two Powers. That the young couple may live long, prosper and be happy, will find few objectors anywhere. Royal alliances have not always kept nations at peace, and this one may not make the Asiatic or Turkish ques- tions a whit the clearer. If, however, that or any other “royal road’’ could be found to make peace universal we would consent to the marriage of every prince and princess in the world, The Orange Parade. In honor of a decisive triumph in Ireland one hundred and eighty odd years ago of Wil- liam of Orange, a Dutch Prince, established by successful revolution as King of Eng- land, the Society of Orangemen, from the “ould sod,’’ in part a political and in part a religious organization, will have a parade in the city of New York to-day. They say that it will be in commemoration of the principles of civil and religious liberty, established in England, and especially in Ireland, under the aforesaid Prince of Orange, the fighting King William the Third; but as all these princi- ples of civil and religious freedom and a good many more never dreamed of by William and his supporters are embodied in the constitu- tion of the United States, including the thir- teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, these questions recur:—Why have not these Orangemen in this country merged their Trish 12th of July celebration into our American’ Fourth of July? What have wo to do with this old Protestant and Catholic quarrel be- tween the adherents of King William and the followers of King James? And what good is the object or the expectation of these Orange parades in this country at this late day? We may be answered that one object is to make good the great principle of equal civil and political rights ; that another purpose is to keep the fires of liberty kindled in England and in Ireland one hundred and eighty odd years ago brightly burning. But this is all moonshine, The object, we fear, is rather to keep alive those deep and bitter religious enimosities which, for hundreds of years, have been fruitful only of bloodshed and confusion in England and Ireland, ond in this country, too, when it should be the object of all patriotic Irishmen, Protestants and Catholics, in becoming citizens of the United States, to sink their Old Country feuds and factions on the American altar of universal Foyy. and equal rights, Nevertheless, this is 9 free country, in which the battle St the Bet The siege of Limerick, the siege of Derry, the advent of William the Filibuster, the fail of the Bastile, the crowning of the First Napo- leon, the downfall of the Third, or anything else may be celebrated in public meetings or processions, and so these Orangemen, with the rest of them, have the right to their parade and a claim for protection if threat- ened with violent opposition from any hostile quarter. This being clearly understood on all sides, We presume that the procession of the Orange- men to-day will suffer yo digturbaneg—that liam in their court dress will keep away from them and let them. severely alone. We dare say that after two or three parades of this sort theso Orange societies will disappear, for if the combustitles tpon which they have flourished are removed their vocation will be King James the of England will be permitted to rest in peace)” The Comptrelier’s Litigation Policy as Seen at the City Hall. It does not in the slightest. matter to us whether Judge MeGuire, who has a judgment against the city, belongs to Tammany Hall, to Apollo Hall or to the Custom House “Ring.” We cannot see what it should matter, either, to the Comptroller. It is doubtless right that our public servants should be watchful: to prevent fraud; but no mere head of the'Finance De- partment can constitute himself the final ar- biter between honest and disSonest claims. When he refuses to pay .# salary or.e bill. the claimant has his remedy in the Courts, and when tho highest Court is reached the Comp- troller has nothing to do but ‘abide by the judgment... Not so Mr. Green, With an as- sumption which looks) very like .imper tinence he places himself above all law, and soon appears in a position which is ab- surd and ridiculous, so far as he is concerned, but humiliating to a great city like New*York. We are not aware that if Mr. Green pro- elarmed himself Emperor of China and dressed himself up as the Grand Turk any one outside of Bloomingdale Asylum would experience any feelings of sorrowing astonishment or profound regret. That he should, however, play these fantastio tricks with o quiet smirk of self-gratulation, and in the name of the city of New York, is nearly intolerable. We do not propose here to enter into any discussion of the miserably fitful and whimsical manner in which. the de- partments have been paid since Mr. Green's accession to office, or of the troubles of the “big pipe’ and “little pipe’’ men, tho ‘scrubbers’ and clerks, Mr, Green’s Fabian tactics in these mat ters have caused much inconvenience and suffering to the poorer class of officials and employés; but the case of Judge McGuire belongs to a different class, In the former cages he brought down on himself an unpopu- larity which, as a politician, may:prove his bane hereafter, and'so his war with the labor- érs had a sort of cheap heroism about it. In the latter case he causes a litigation which may be profitable to.certain lawyers, but is a dead loss to the city. Like the thunderous-worded village schoolmaster, “even when beaten he can argue still,"” convinced that somebody will recognize his ability in that line, although his amusement is a tax on the community.’ Now, itis well known that whenever this Chinese- minded Comptroller chooses he can deny a claim until it reaches a certain point—namely, the hands of the Sheriff. We are certain that there are a hundred high-spirited lawyers in New York who would, if they had any influ- ence with Mr, Green, follow every claim against the city through all the Courts and have no objection in the end to allowing the Sheriff a share in the profit. Hence, through mingled desire for the public and tho lawyers’ good, and possibly to spite some political clan—whether Apollo, Tammany or Custom House does not matter—Mr. Green persists in debasing the good name of the Empire City, until he has placed it in the equivocal posi- tion of a dodging tradesman’s pettifogging reputation, The shameful absurdity of the scene in the Governor's Room at the City Hall yesterday, with a Sheriff's posse taking possession of the pictures and furniture, is such that we could afford to see the Comptroller piloried for permitting it with a feeling of joy. City creditors generally pre- fer the seizure of the historic relics in the Governor’s Room, because they belicve that the proceeding will raise an out- ery from which a satisfaction of their claims will ensue. They have humbled the city, however, and that is of more account than the preservation of the objects that are worth so little as mere cabinet work. It is difficult to. blame the creditors for seizing what will insure payment of their claims with ag little trouble as possible to themselves ; but we can and do declare our contempt for the figure which the Comptroller makes in the matter. No merchant or tradesman could successfully carry on his business who re- sorted to every loophole and legal dodge to postpone or avoid the payment of his liabili- ties. Mr. Green, by his persistence in refus- ing to adjust such claims, attempts to swell himself up so as to usurp the prerogative of the highest Courts in the State, and returns only to his proper sphere on being brought up against the Sheriff's truncheon. Will the citi- wong of Ney York be content to look on at this preposterous windmill fighting in their name? Will they pay all these lawyers’ bills and Sheriff's fees with any other feeling than one of disgust? Spain—Another Carlist Victory. In another place in these columns this morning will be found a special despatch from one of our correspondents at Madrid. From this despatch it appears that the Carlist army has won another great victory over the gov- ernment troops. The battle was fought near Ripoll, in Catalonia. The Carlists were led by Don Alfonso, brother of Don Carlos, and the now famous leader Saballs. The combat seems to have been more than usually severe, At the close the Carlists were completely vic- torious. One hundred of the government troops were killed and wounded and not fewer than eight hundred were made prisoners. Two of the government cannon and all their bag- gage were captured. From another source we learn that the Carlist force which captured esa in Navarre were speedily driven from beta town and that the governmént troop fearful revenge upon the unfortunate The town seems to have been given ap to the brutality. of the sol- diers. Factories were burned, women were insulted and other deeds of violence were committed. At Alcoy there has been a serious tising of the International, The Mayor has been killed and sixty houses burned. Look at the news from what point of view we may it is impossible to beliove that the condition of Spain is improving. It is only o few days since we were told that the government had decided to adopt vigorous measures with o view to bringing the Carlist rebellion to 4 eee 8S columns used kind and encouraging words towards the Republic. In the interest of thé republican cause throughout Europe we have desired this latest 8; ta succeed. “We have hoped against these reported ‘atrocities at Sanguese have actually been committed the Republic must be taught at once that this is not the way'to win. Such brutal conduct is of this pllpmiilp. oe _ tt will most certainly have the effect of wi wing from the Republic whatever public sympathy it still commands. ‘A government which is incompetent to establish authority, and which is weak and wickod enough to take such mean revenge on innocent and unoffending citizens, will soon losa ita power when it has lost self-respect. The Release of Our Cuban Commis- stouer. Time brings its revenges, The sweetest morsel under the tongue of the calm observer of the world’s doings for many a year is that furnished in our special despatches from Spain this‘morning. Our'special commissioner, Mr. James J, ©’Kelly, who, in the discharge of an important duty for this journal, and acting in the interests of civilization, went to Cuba to write of the condition of the island and let the world ‘know the state of affsirs in that much wronged and lovely satrapy of decrepid, tottering Spain, has at length gained his free- dom. Arrested without cause, incarcerated in a vile'prison without due process of law,-and “@eported beyond the seas’ to humor the whim of a scarcely recognized Minister, he hag quietly, bravely and with matchless dignity performed his duty. Up to this time his tongue has’ been tied ; the over-prosent Spanish spy was at his elbow when he desired to write, but he has patiently awaited his opportunity, The opportunity is now at hand, ..Aware of the ridiculousness of their position; conscious of the fact, © too widely acknowledged even by Spaniards, that the retenfion of our commissioner any longer.,in. a Spanish dungeon for the crime of telling the truth concerning Cuba would cause them greater injury than they could well bear, the high and mighty hidalgos have decided ‘to let him go. The owners of Gibraltar are not usually indifferent to the ill- treatment of their subjects. We are not dis- posed to utter premature congratulations. The ways and means of Spanish treachery, darkly hinted at in back-page history and too well known in our day, are suchas to suggest .cau- tion and give merit to circumspection iu words. The case of Mr. O’Kelly is, however, in the hands of a power swift to punish and ready to reward, and we will not allow ourselves to doubt the early and safe return of our gallant and able commissioner. Mr. O’Kelly’s arrival im Néw York will be the signal for hearty con- gratulations from all quarters, for truly he has suffered much and heroically borne privations, not only in the cause of the Henatp, but in the interests of American journalism. Lord George Gordon. The Gordon case still commands the att en- tion.of our friends on the border. Great excitement prevails at Fort Garry, Milwaukee and other points. It is a splendid case for the lawyers. Gordon is known to havo plenty of money, and, according to all accounts, he is likely, before this little affair isended, to be well “bled."’ © His is 9 peculiar and somewhat dangerous position. Heis wanted in the United States and he is said to be wanted in England. Notoriety, we should suppose, at the present moment, is about the last thing he cared for. Most certainly he could not be anxious to fall into the hands of the law. It is not at all un- natural in the circumstances that the officials on either side of the border should be con- siderably excited. It is not, however, a Mason and Slidell case, and we are but little disposed to think that there will grow out of it any alarming war. If Lord George Gordon, 80 called, is brought to justice we shall have no cause for regret ; and if both United States and Canadian officials are tanght hencefor- ward to act within the bounds of the law in the discharge of what they call their duty, the result will be a gain to both peoples. Too much zeal is sometimes quite as dangerous as too little, Tue Sraxtse Orv, Wan.—An interesting survey of the field of the Carlist rebellion in Navarre will be found in another portion of the Hzrarp. The views of the Spanish dons on the Cuban and other questions will be read with a live interest here. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. David A. Weils was, while in London, the guest of the Cobden Club.
