A MOST EXCELLENT RACE “FINISH” AT MON- such other things as he is ordered to do by the Executive. The! other Cabinet officers hold similar relations to the President, and there is no difference except in degree between the heads of departments and the heads of bu- reaus. In every administration, and especially in times. of great political excitement, even the Attorney General is apt to construe the law in obedience, to the Presidential whim, and if the President had power to keep him in office during his life every enactment of Congress would be found to fit the Executive purpose, A great manufacturer, with mills and machine shops, and banks and stores amd lines of transportation, does not control his vast enter- prises more absolutely than the President 'con- trols the machinery of ‘the government of the United States. Every Oustom House officer in the country, every assessor and collector of internal revenue, every postmaster, every petty feeder on public patronage, can be reached by the President as readily and directly as Governor Sprague reaches his cotton spinners and madder mixers. Even the Supreme Court is not beyond the impress of the Presidential finger, and if the term of office of our Ohief Magistrate were for life that august body would soon feel the whole weight of the Presidential hand. No violent changes in the Constitution are required for the reign of a Omsar. Not even Congress would need to be abolished by an absolute tyrant; for, with a chief law clerk to construe Congress enactments and a. Supreme Court to endorse his constructions, it would not be necessary to'incur the danger of destroying a body that could exist without hurt. All these considerations are of the most startling charac- ter and add to our fears of the spirit of Crosar- ism which seems to be growing silently but surely. We are apt to speak in raptures of the wisdom of the fathers and their states- manlike foresight in framing the Consti- tation. But we stand aghast at their work when we find how thoroughly fitted it is for the designs of an ambitious President.

Mansnat Sersano’s Lors m Danczr.—An attempt has been made to assassinate the dis- tinguished Spanish soldier and statesman, Marshal Serrano, at his place of exile retreat in France. The assassin, who has been ar- rested, made the assault while Serrano was en- joying outdoor exercise in the grounds attached to his villa. The demoralizations of Spanish politics are tending rapidly towards national degradation. A Quick Trr.—The new Inman steamship City of Chester arrived at this port yesterday from Queenstown, making the run ina little over eight days, This, for her first trip, estab- lishes the fact that this steamer possesses the requisite of ‘‘speed’’ in a high degree. We hope that the equally important essentials of “gafety and comfort’’ will not be forgotten hereafter by her officers in their’ ambition to make “good time.’” We have wrecks enough for one season on the rocks of Nova Scotia of ships sacrificed to good time. Tax Faexcn Repusucan Pouce Uxozn | MacManon is, o8 it appears from our news despatches, gaining more and more in favor with the nation. M. Jules Favre assailed the home policy of the Executive in very bitter terms during the session of the National Assem- bly yesterday. The Parlioment was deeply excited. A vote of confidence in the govern- ment was proposed. This was carried by 400 voices against 270. This large majority is regarded as a very significant utterance.of the national will of France, It betokens an era of order, with conservatism and unity, and the gradual decay of party faction. Oxz Day's Faratrrms m Bostox—A man stabbed, a man killed by falling from a-win- dow, @ child killed in being run over by @ hack, a woman killed by suicide and man drowned. Yet they tell us that Boston is a model of good government, law and order and of security to life and limb. to our Chief Magistrates would be a sufficient safeguard against such ambition. . It is idle to trust in the former of these hypotheses, for the three names we have so often sited show how hard it is when absolute power is within one’s grasp to put it away and say— I'l not betray the glory of my name; ‘Tis not for me, who have preserved a State, To buy an Empire at so dear a rate. The fact that time-servers and politicians speak of according a third term to General Grant proves that the latter hypothesis is equally untrustworthy. There was no danger in the past, because it was always taken for granted that no one would aspire to more than two terms of the Presidential office. But because no politician in the past was base enough to propose a third term for Jefferson or Jackson it has not prevented bad men from suggesting it for Grant. The magnanimity of the President and the pstriotiam of the people, we believe, will prevent any such consummation now; but in the suggestion itself isthe proof of possible danger in the future. It is not every President who can follow Washington's ex- ample or faithfully preserve the traditions of the Republic. The man who can justly claim to have preserved generally desires to rule the Stale. History is fall of instances where the pattiot of one day became the tyrant of the nex. Marc Antony, according to the poet, at proved that Cesar was not ambitious, every ruler that Rome had after him wag a Cesar. In ourown dayan Emperor write life of Cmsar to justify his own and thy more brilliant Cesarism of his uncle, Y¥@ neither Ceasar nor Napoleon had such at his hand for making and perpetuat- int his power as has every American Presi- dqt.

Like the y Register, it includes only the line and f-—the heads of departments and bureaus their chief clerks—tho rank and being omitted. It is astounding many names the book contains d what complicated machinery is necessary ran the government, The Treasury De- ent has four comptrollers and six itors. Each of these hasa large staff of tants and a battalion of clerks; and they not compose a third part of the official ghinery in tho Treasury building. The ores’. ents are manned with corre- spnding attength. The Navy Department, for ivtance, has a‘ Many subordinates as would brequired in tim.? of war, while the Depart mnt has less work t.’ Perform than the Light- Board. The Custom Houses are or- on the same libera: basis, and New rk city to-day swarms qit, federal off All these, and office-holacts of all ds, are practically the fifenu’ of {s the Govermmental Machinery of | fices all the same in the name of an emperor as ma chinery existed in.the-time of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln; if it was good then, it must be good now; if it is dangerous now, it must haye been dangerous then. But there is in this only the color of truth. A thing may have the elements of danger always and yet be innocuous for many generations. Though the organization of our government is highly favorable to the sway of Casarism there is mo harm while the spirit of Cesorism is absent. It is only when power begins to sing slumber songs to liberty that we see that the department and the de- partment bureau, the custom house and the custom house clerk are the adjuncts of the one and the foes of the other, When men begin to talk in favor of centralization and a strong government, to advocate long terms of politi- cal office-holding and. to deprecate frequent changes in official position, we open our eyes with amazement to find that the power to support a throne already exists, and only the throne is wanting. Through long years an official class has been growing up among us— @ class of barnacles, which civil service re- form will fasten immovably to the ship of state, This class has the disposition to hold office forever and to govern us forever. All it needs is a life President, and then it is sure there will be mo more rotation in office, and xno tremblings over the results of a popular election. The dear people have no interest for the perpetual office-holder after the people cease to be king. ‘The placemen always turn to the Cesar of the moment and worship liberty or adore tyranny as their interests may require. Our Cmear, should he ever come, would ‘find them in their places ready to welcome him. Indeod, so far as governmental machinery goes, our Cxsar is already come. The President rules his Cabi- net, and the committees of the House and Sen- ate rule Congress. Already there is too much centralization, too much concentration of power in a few hands. The Congress com- mittee must not much longer be a secret conclave. fostering and aiding corrupt legisla- tion. The Cabinet must owe some ministerial responsibility to Congress and the country, and we must in some way neutralize the power for evil of the bureaus which are preparing for the coming king. Samuel Baker’s Heroic Campaign im Central Africa. From a special correspondent at Khartoum, onthe Upper Nile, we published yesterday some exceedingly interesting details of Sir Samuel Baker's late heroic campaign among the hostile slave traders and savage tribes of the Equatorial basin of the great river of Egypt. It thus appears that Baker Pacha penetrated as far south as Mosindi, or Mo- shande, which lies one degree south of the Equator, between the lakes Albert and Victoria Nyanga and on the western border of the Victoria Lake; that from this point, by ® powerful, treacherous and murderous com- bination of the slave traders and their savage allies, he was compelled to turn back; that for seven days in his retreat northward he, with his small and exhausted force of Egyptians, was sorely harnased by his swarm- ‘ing enemies; that further on towards Gon- dokoro he and his party were again attacked and thirty of his men slain, but that, turning upon his assailants, he completely defeated and subdued them and brought the wholo country around Gondokoro under the govern- ment of the Khedive. So far, then, Sir Samuel returns, crowned with greater successes than were expected, in the enlargement of the territories of the Khedive to the Equatorial lakes of the Nile and in breaking up the river depots of the African slave trade. With regard, however, to the important geographical discovery reported as having been made by Baker Pacha—viz., the dis- covery that the supposed independent lakes Albert and Tanganyika are one continuous navigable inland sea, seven hundred miles in length—it does not appear that Baker has established the fact from actual observation. He did not, so far as our reports from Khar- toum cover the explorations made on this expedition, get one of his steamboats into the Albert Lake; but that he traversed the country between it and the Victoria some two hundred and fifty miles southward, more or less, and that, accordingly, his statement that the Albert and Tanganyika are one lake is only aconclusion drawn from information from the natives, and that the honor may yet fall upon Dr, Livingstone of definitely settling the mystery of the Nile sources. But within a few days we shall probably hear of the return of Sir Samuel and Lady Baker to Oairo, and then we shall doubtless have the evidence upon which the intrepid white Pacha supports his conviction that the Albert and Tanganyika lakes are one and the same lake, We know that he isnot given to the habit of declaring even an opinion upon ques- tionable testimony, and we therefore still en- tertain the hope that his statement to our cor- respondent at Khartoum that a ship may sail from the Albert Lake district of the Nile up to Ujjiji will be established, and if established this will be one of the most important discov- eries of modern times to science and to civili- zation. Convertixa Cororapo Desert Into an Ine taxD Laxz.—The San Diego Union states that 4 party, witha complete outfit fora stay in the field for eight months, has left that city on an exploration of the great Colorado desert, with the view of ascertaining the fea sibility of converting it into an inland lake by turning in upon it the waters of the Colorado River. It seems to us thatethis is a business about which Uncle Sam himself ought to have something to say. But if the interests of com- merce and the progress of civilization demand it, it does not make much difference who accomplishes the work, whether it be done by private parties or by the government, .

No wonder the Cockney complatas.<f “the blasted The Shah im Paris ana tne Shab in Teheran—Three Stories of the Per- sian. His Shabship’s reception in Paris gives us the opportunity to present our readers with @ dual description of the scene from the‘acile pens of Mr. Edmund Yates, the English novel- ist, and Mr, George W. Hosmer, of the Hzmap | staff. In addition we present a highly enter- taining sketch of court and diplomatic life at Teheran from the pen of a new contributor. Mr. Grenville Murray, to whom we allude, is 6 gentleman of vast experience in English journalistic and diplomatic circles. Orig- inally appointed to the London Foreign Office, Mr. Murray has served as attaché to several English embassies and as Her Britannic Majesty's representative in more than one quarter of the globe. The literary result of these experiences was first given to the world in a series of admirable papers, entitled ‘The Roving Englishman,” which appeared in Household Words, and which ao delighted the late Charles Dickens by their graphic fidelity as to induce him to offer constant employment to the gifted writer. The pen which Mr, Murray wielded -was, however, not merely # fluent but a very bitter one. Under the title of “Sir Hector Stubble” he produced a pen portrait of the English Ambassador at Constantinople, Sir Stratford Canning (now Lord Stratford de Redcliffe), which, while ludicrously exagger- ated, was so wonderfully lifelike as to cause a great sensation among those who knew the original. This and other perpetrations of a similar nature served to make a breach between Mr, Murray and his official superiors, which ended in his retiring from the Foreign Office and devoting himself to literature. Of late years ho has resided in Paris, and, being thoroughly acquainted with the arcana of French society, has under- taken to elucidate them for the benefit of English readers. His sketches of Frenchmen and French social life (‘Men of the Empire,” “Parisian Journalists,"’ ‘The Member for Paris,” &¢.), published in the Cornhill Maga- sine and the Pall Mali Gazette, are universally acknowledged to be singularly able and true ; and in retaining Mr. Murray’s services for the Henarp we feel that we have added a worthy collaborateur to an already brilliant band. Having followed the steps of that flerce ‘fittle dark man in speoctacles,”’ the Shah, through the great shows and side shows which England got up for his gratification and her own, our trusty correspondents succeeded once more in “bagging him’’ as he was drawn up the magnificent avenue, having the Arc de l Etoile in its course and all Paris beyond, as you enter the city from the west. If the Shah's visit to Europe produced nothing more than the observations made by shrewd judges of men concerning the effect of this barbarian monarch’s appearance upon the different peoples, it would have served a good purpose. Everybody has been doing his best to astonish the Shah; and when men strut before others, clad in their darling vanities, the little side of greatness is often painfully apparent. Thus England set herself the task of ‘‘impressing’’ herself as well as the Shah, and when the typical Englishman has reached the sublime height of the superlative in self-esteem the valley of the absurdly ridiculous looms by as provokingly as the grinning mouth of Punch- inello does to his heroically Roman nose. Naval shows for a king without a navy, operas for a man who hates singing, and balls fora man who can’t dance, are things funny in themselves, but absolutely comical moval of Nuisances. The health authorities have at last made a move in the right direction in the removal of remonstrances of marketmen, who prefer to wallow in filth rather than surrender grace- fully to sanitary demands, The work, how- ever, is not yet complete. The street should be cleared to the curbstone instead of removing only five fect from the end of the market. Indeed, the sooner this ill-drained, badly ventilated nuisance of a market is entirely done away with the better it will be for the health of the city. The gutters and sewers around it are but stationary receptacles of filth and disease and need a thorough cleans- ing and repairs. Tho whole building is ina state of noxious decay. After two months’ warning to the bone boilers and fat melters up town the Board of Health give the gratifying announcement that the police will begin to-day to root out their foul smelling establish- ments. This will be welcome news to the entire community, especially to those who live in the neighborhood of such nuisances. The insolence of the bone boilers towards the health authorities would lead one to suppose that they had on their side some quibble of law to enable them to continue their horrible business right in the midst of a crowded city. But it is to be hoped that the Board of Health will not flinch fora moment in their determi- nation, for they have the good wishes of all with them. These nuisances have been per- mitted to remain too long in this city, and the wonder is that the people did not assert their ‘own sanitary rights, as was the case a few days ago in St. Louis.. We want to see this good work brought toa successful close, no matter what the threats or remonstrances of a few unscrupulous individuals may be. The Prorogation of the British Par- Mament. It is now positively announced that the British Parliament will be prorogued in the first week of August. Somehow the British Parliament, this session, has but little in- terested the world. Mr. Gladstone meant to make another great sensation when he intro- duced his bill providing for Irish university reform. From a variety of causes, however, the Premier's pet failed. The House of Com- mons would not have it. The Prime Minister showed, at once, his high spirit and his great strength by resigning, and the House of Commons expressed its good nature as well as its incompetence to find a successor by wel- coming him back to place and power. The session since has been dull, for the reason that the government has pushed no new or daring measure. As yot, however, although the Par- liament is comparatively old, there is no sign of @ dissolution. It is said that the liberals are losing their hold on the country; but it will not be at all wonderful if, in the next ses- sion, Mr. Gladstone introduces a measure when supplemented by a sparring match at Buckingham Palace between two noted “bruisers.”” The popular mind which goes Shah-mad to-day as it went Sayers-and-Heenan- mad twelve or thirteen years ago, and will go anything else mad to-morrow, was well worth the attention paid it by our correspondents during the London fever over Nassr-ed-Din. It is not a very great distance from London to Paris, but the transfer of the Shab as a sort of popular loadstone from one city to another at once draws forth shades of difference in char- acter that are extremely curious. The impres- sion that the French are a volatile people leads to many false conclusions, as does the idea that which will give him a good right to appeal to the country, and so inaugurate a fight out of which he will come forth victorious. As a Parliamentary leader he is to-day without a rival. Important News rnom Spar.—Telegrams from Madrid inform us that the crews of five Spanish vessels of war have revolted against the Republic. The Madrid government has issued a proclamation declaring the men Pirates, and authorizing their capture and treatment as such by any fore'gn power on tho high seas, This news is not only im- portant, it is alarming. Have the Spanish the English are dull, morbid and taciturn. No populace can relieve the monotony of every- day conversation with a howl of delight equal to that of London. Shakspeare drew-his idea of the “‘aniversal shout’’ that made the yellow Tiber ‘tremble underneath her banks’ when Pompey appeared, from the English cheers of the’ prentice boys by the banks of the Thames whéh Queen Bess went to the City. Well, therefore, may Mr. Yates lament like Rachel, and refuse to be comforted for the loss of the “Hip, hip, hurrah!'’ of England, or the ec- static “tiger” of this Republic, as ho observes the Shah passing up the Avenue be- tween crowds of silent people. Mr. Hosmer dips into the reasons for this indifferentism, and finds that an unrepublican hungering after the glitter and glare and fanfare of the Em- pire, of which the Shah’s reception forms itself into a ghostly resemblance, is at the bottom of it. French crowds, however, are never so vociferously choral as English ones, The latter will cheer when their feelings are wrought upon. The former are rarely demon- stgative in this particular, their very vive le this or vive la that being sufficiently indicative of-their inability. An English eating house isas quiet ag funeral ; « French restaurant is a Babel of sound. Per contra, the finish of a horse race in England brings a thunder of ‘cheering; the same exciting moment in France would not be vocally different from the interval between the races, so far as the spectators are concerned, but for the for- eigners. We fear, however, that the observa- tions of our correspondents on this head of French undemonstrativences have a serious truthfulness, We can hardly, © indeed, understand how gay-living Paris can be so soon reconciled to its republican simplicity ; but regrets for the rainbow colors that danced upon the bubble of the Empire before it burst will do them no good, particularly as they are not sure of anything but that the Assembly is still at Versailles and the Germans in the pro- vinces yet, Mr. Yates, we may add, repeats the amende honorable which he handsomely made to America upon the opening of the Vienna Ex- position, apropos of our odd inauguration spectacle, He now admits that they manage those things no better in France than we do here. Mr, Murtay’s sketch of the capital of Persia and how the Frank diplomatic moves and hes bia being there will be found naval mutineers of five really powerful vessels gone to sea in their lawlessness? Are they about to do so? Is there danger of their hoisting the “black flag’ on the ocean, and has the Executive of tho Republic invited, by its acknowledgment of feebloness, the active interference of a foreign police in the matter of the internal affairs of Spain? If the despatches are worded correctly we incline to the opinion that these questions must be answered in the affirmative. If so, Spain has arrived in reality at © grand point of a public crisis. Surrounding peoples will, perhaps, commence to inquire if their particular property can remain safe while their near neighbors ignite and maintain a national con- flagration. Perhaps tho navy has declared for Don Carlos. Ifso Barcelona will be in danger of capture. Tue Cnonena iN THe Sours anD Wzst.— Although the danger is not entirely over, yet apprehensions of the spread of the cholera in the South are not so alarming as they were @ week or two ago. The disease seems to have in some degree subsided in places where it was most virulent, and to have disappeared altogether in localities whore it made its ap- pearance ina mild form. This, however, is unfortunately not the casein the West. In the interior of Ohio and Indiana *the cholera has broken out with some violence, and the most energetic sanitary measures are required to keep it from spreading and becoming epidemic. Hence it behooves our city health authorities not to halt fora moment in their efforts to protect our city from a visitation of the dreadful pestilence. Thero is no knowing at what day or hour it may be among our People, and it would bo criminal to miserably economize in the matter of placing the metropolis in as sound and healthful a condi- tion as it possibly can be. ponte.
