ERALD NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. at Ems—Historic Toachstones—Kaiser Wilhelm and the Herald. While we are in the midst of the American holiday season it will be found quite Pleasant to read how life goes among the celebrated watering places of the Continent of Europe. Louise Mibl- bach’s highly interesting letter to the Hznaup from Ems, which will be found elsewhere, has an interest that is historical as well as picturesque. When we read the little ro- manees in real life that are braided with the stories of the season at Saratoga, White Sul- phur or Sharon Springs, we recognize for how much the influence of woman counts in the narrative. ‘To drink the waters !’’ How many serious and subtle reasons for a journey to the spas are masked behind that phrase we all know. Suggestive of digestions spoiled and physical systems out of repair as the recourse to mineral waters may be, we all know that debilitated constitu- tions are among the last things we expect to meet around the saline or chalybeate springs. Here and there an individual may be found who studies with live interest the chemists’ analyses of the waters; but to analyze hu- manity and find out whether, according to taste, a man is the “salt of the earth” or has gold veins in him is the occupation of the majority of womankind there. Taere woman studies under conditions not calculated, it is true, to discover the more occult points of man’s nature, yet satisfactory to some; for these minor points are little cared about if the man, like the water, sparkles to the eye and leaves the proper auriferous deposit, At Ems much the same conditions exist as to the studying part of the matter; but the intrigues and events that have made it famous are not of such frivolous kinds as those that are nursed in the memory of our belles long, perhaps, after they have come to nursing of a different kind, and which deck the columns sacred to Jenkins, wherein the cautious on dit begins each item, and the parties of the first and second parts are respectively indicated by an initial letter and some dots, Miss Miiblbach gives us the history of Ems, social and pathological. The posi- tive good claimed by some ladies un- blessed, the pleasant walks in view of the green mountains in the valley of the Lahn, all give place in her mind to the time when certain kings and emperors proposed to make it a trysting place for ao chat about Turopean affairs. Thither came unexpectedly a beautiful woman, an Empress of France and the goddess of fashion, to mar the plan or have a share therein. The goddess went down to the Kursaal and drank the waters, but was left by tho royalty of the Continent to be imperial alone at Ems. The story of Miss Mihlbach raises a corner of the diplomatic curtain of the past, which displays a pretty picture of feminine Machiavelism instructive to contemplate. Russia, Austria and Prussia, heroically speak- ing, were to have gone to the waters with their wives; but the goddess of millinery and dress goods, Eugénie the French Empress, was there before them, ond a very pretty little byplay was the result. The Russian Empress halted at Darmstadt and announced herself sick. The Prussian Queen countermaaded her apartments at Ems and, in fine, the woman who went there to bring French influence to bear on the sover- eign gathering was outwitted by another Empress, but only by a compromise which left some success and some humiliation to the Empress of the French. Whatever was made or marred by Eugénie’s visit, the Czarina in- vented a verb for the benefit of the Impera- trice, which invention, perhaps, had as much womanly pique in it as diplomatic perspica- city. She would not goto Ems; she would not s’encanailler. Woman in diplomacy has exerted greater influence than in this particular instance; but around it clus- tered a number of baffled purposes on both sides, which, if successfully wrought out on either side, might have been causes for the strengthening of more thrones than three, or have hastened the tumbling of afourth. It may, perhaps, yet be a marvel to people now unborn why these kings and em- perors did not all conspire against their peoples instead of steadily attempting each to under- mine the other. The cause will doubtless be found in the fact that emperors have ambitious weaknesses as well as wives, and that the most cautious sovereign must dance at times to the popular passions as rhythmically and fatally as the village children to the piper with the magic flute. Miss Mithlbach from this story of impe- thereof was not lost like an echo in the recesses of court chit-chat or the record buried in the pigeon-holes of foreign offices, to feed the book- worms of another generation. On the 13th of July, 1870, Benedetti, the French Ambassador, after a few moments’ conversation on the promenade at Ems with King William of Prussia, turned away insulted, and the King Lermxc Licer Ixro rae Markers.—The bold, uncompromising and much-needed | action of the Board of Health in dealing with those pestholes of the metropolis— | Falton and Washington Markets—aside from positive and immediate sanitary benefits, | will have the effect of showing these institu- tions in their true light—a disgrace to a city like New York. When shielded by the ob- noxious booths which encumbered the adjoin- ing streets, and which have just been re- moved, there was little opportunity for the public to fully appreciate the deformity of both ‘markets ; but now that light is thrown upon them it would be hard to conceive any- thing more hideous. It is the imperative duty of the New York members of the Legisla- ture at the next session to insist upon a thor- was seen walking along with an access of offended dignity in his bearing. There is a stone with a date now marking the spot where they met. There was an empty throne in Spain then, as there is now, for all the pother about a Hohenzollern accession to the place of Isabella I. Persons passing by the stone would scarcely be able to measure the forces of the circling wave that rolled out from thence and the limit of whose circumference {| bas not yet been reached.

Nothing more ran be done with the latter nuisances, and it is astonishing that they have not succeeded so far increating a pestilence. It will require all the vigilance and exertions of our sanitary guardians now to keep even the neighborhood of both markets in a tolerable state of clean- liness, There are no more dark nooks and corners for filth to accumulate, and the sun will prove an unerring detective should the manufacturers of filth resume their pesti- Agatial course, German war it is something to turn back to the haul ton quiet of Ems after three years have | flown, and see the King, nowa Kaiser in his | gray overcoat and white hat, handing a | bunch of roses witha smile to the friiulein | by the glass dealer's counter, as be passes in little surprises of history that show how human saints. sages and heroes are after all. clining to take part in the demonstration which enthusiastic Germans made around the stone in the promenade.

The con- queror of France, doubtless, saw in it a tri- umph of peace as well as a tribute to German genius in the persons of Auerbach and Miihl- bach, and to the Germans in America who could make an enterprise of the kind profit- able to those undertaking it as well os a pride and a pleasure to themselves, He could see in it the great Germanic people powerful at home and prosperous abroad. The mission of the independent press, which makes such slow progress in countries like "Germany, may have been a cause of wonder, even to him. Revealing a social and political condition wherein there was neither bond nor free, but all alike, he must have looked on that issue of the Herarp with an interest in our Republic which an emperor, surrounded by all the attributes of direct power, can seldom be induced to feel. It shows how the influence of the independent press leaps over the bar- Tiers of classes, castes and races as it does over continents; how it tends to knit man- kind in firmer bonds of friendliness ; how its feats appear great in the eyes of even those accustomed to great things. So in this water- ing-place story there are many lessons and much suggestiveness. The fine touch of the celebrated German story-teller will be felt in her recital, which, if froma woman's stand- point, is firmly told and worthy of study. The War in Spain. Telegrams from Spain, special tothe Hrratp, which appear in our columns to-day, describe the situation which existed at many prominent points in the peninsula to the morning of the 3dinstant. The detail is not encouraging by any means to the cause of civilization, nor in the slightest degree consoling to the apostle- ism of democracy as it is professed and prac- tised after sudden and perhaps unreasoning and selfish revolution, The natural con- servatism of our common humanity ap- pears to have revolted against the acts and rule of the Spanish Commune, and this teel- ing operates very sensibly and diffusively in favor of the government at Madrid as an authorized exponent of order, although falli- ble in very many respects as an executive administrator under the constitution. And why should this not be so? Our despatches from Cadiz, Valencia, Barcelona and Madrid present the reply. Valencia is, or just has been, under bombardment by Spanish guns. Spanish cavalry charged through the once peaceful streets, routing Spaniards, who, in their turn, endeavored to slaughter the sol- diers from behind street barricades. Deeds of great gallantry were performed on both sides; but the heroism .is valueless be- cause its exponents are pointless in their aim and enervated in mind by the demoralization of party politics. Rural retreats, quiet little hamlets, are wrapt in flames and made desolate by the fire of artil- lery. Hundreds of lives have been lost within a couple of days. It appears as if Spain proper cannot foresee or foretell the probable moment of the termination of this terrible national contest. Great Powers from a dis- tance are moving toward her enlightenment. An insurgent Spanish frigate is held at Cadiz under the guns of the American war ship Shenandoah—a neighborly piece of naval policement for which it is to be hoped that the European royalties will be duly thankful. But the monarchical cabinets are themselves diplomatizing and acting in this direction. An _ Italian fleet has been ordered to make ready for sea and move to the coast of Spain, in order that its chief officers may take part in the foreign naval council which is about to assemble there. This council idea may eventuate in restoring peace to the Spaniards; but the peace can scarcely be lasting, inasmuch as it will have been imposed by means of outside pressure in- stead ot having come from a spontaneous act of native patriotism. Then we are told of Don Carlos and other Bourbons. They are in the field and pressing on towards their objective centre, Madrid. Don Carlos has pledged him- self by oath to respect the right of the Spanish provincialists—a dynastic placebo which will aid his cause vastly, particularly in the midst of scenes of alarm and death such as are set forth to-day in our telegrams. Our special correspondence by mail from | Prats de Llusanés, dated July 12, presents a most revolting picture of the terrible atroci- ties committed by the republican troops. It is a story which recites every crime which the brutalized nature of man can inflict. We simply refer those who are curious to the fate of one family as described by the HemaLp correspondent, where neither sex, age nor in- firmity were respected. A curious story is also related by the Henan correspondent at Malaga, under date of July 17, in which he } describes a conspiracy, fathered by Serrano and Caballero de Rodas, to seduce the Carlist and republican troops from their respective leaders, and, after getting control of the army, | to reduce Spain to obedience. Post OMce Keform in This City. The present Postmaster of this city, Colonel James, gave an interesting account to one of our reporters of the reiorms and changes effected by him during the first three months of his term of office. His first labor was in perfecting a system of discipline in all the departments—n much needed institution in the Post Office. It seems that the force in this city had become seriously demoralized and that numerous complaints were daily sent to the Postmaster. Filled mail bags were stowed away in corners, on the pretext that there was no time or opportunity for deliver- } ing the matter they contained, A rapid de- | livery system was at once inaugurated, and even in limited and cramped quarters, and with comparatively slender resources at his command, Colonel James has instituted such reforms as leave little room for complaint. By concentrating all money collections under one head, more security is attained and irregu- larities are easily discovered. The city rail- roads are made available for rapid mail trans- portation, and the various stations connected with (he department bayg become once moze reliable in speedy delivery of city letters and newspapers. This is decidedly an encouraging view of a situation which has been anything but satisfactory heretofore. The thanks and good wishes of the community will be ten- dered to the Postmaster for his system of reform. A Bourbon and Orleanist Combination. There is no longer any doubt, it is reported, that the Count de Paris has gone to Vienna to visit the Count de Chambord. It was under- stood some time ago that all intercourse be- tween the two monarchical faction leaders had been broken off. It is only a few days since it was announced that Marshal MacMahon would, preparatory to a monarchical restora- tion, resign his position as President of the Republic and resume the command of the army. It was significant that during the late festivities in Paris in honor of the Shah of Persia the President appeared with the Duke of Aumale by his side and occupying the post of honor. One hundred Deputies of the Assembly have sent a formal address to the Pope, in which they acknowledge their allegiance and declare their devotion to his interests. It is difficult to resist the convic- tion that an attempt is about to be made to restore the monarchy. How the Bourbon in- terests are to be reconciled is a question rather for the legitimists, the Orleanists and the Pope than for us. The compromise long ago suggested is that the Count de Chambord should ascend the throne at once, and, as he is childless, that the Count de Paris should be his successor when he dies. The evacuation by the Germans has commenced. Early in Sep- tember it will be completed. Then must com- mence the tug of war. We must wait to see whether the Republic is equal to the test, and whether, in the event of its failure, the le- gitimists, the Orleanists or the Bonapartists will win. All we can now say is that the facts of the moment point in the direction of a Bourbon restoration, Marshal MacMahon playing the réle of General Monk. The importance attached to this meeting is seen by the vigorous action of the republican vigilance committees of the Left and Left Centre. Whether o coup d'élal will be at- tempted or the more dangerous process of in- citing the ‘reds’’ to a fresh demonstration that would throw France into the arms of the reactionists, or whether the majority in the present Assembly will simply take the risk of declaring the monarchy established, will de- pend on the counsels, more or less violent, that prevail among the royalist factions. If MacMahon has lent himself to this con- spiracy, as has been freely averred in certain quarters, the combination will be formidable. It is, nevertheless, we fear, unlikely that the change, if attempted, will be effected without bloodshed and prostration of industry. The Transatiantic Ship Tracks. Nautical meteorology, though comparatively in its infancy, is fast becoming one of the most accurate and advanced of modern sciences. The latest and most valuable addi- tion which it has received is from an able and exhaustive discussion of the winds and storms of the North Atlantic, together with the ice-bearing currents which threaten the mariners’ track between New York and the English Channel. This work emanates from the laborious pen of the eminent German scientist, Von Freeden, and is based upon the protracted observations of the North German Lloyds’ steamships. Its facts are so explicitly brought out by the testimony of the log-book that they need little elucidation, and afford the seaman anxious to make the most rapid time across the Atlantic the data whence he may deduce the courses of fastest sailing and learn where his ship is most likely to find streaks of good luck. It has always been found that vessels crossing the Atlantic are greatly exposed to the violent storms which rage along the line of conflict between the opposing ice current and Gulf Stream and the similarly situated boreal and equatorial air currents of the North Atlantic. The great and resistless ice stream, or cold water current, emerges during the whole year from Buaffin's Bay and flows southwards through the channel between Greenland and Iceland over the Banks of Newfoundland into the region of the Gulf Stream, and there partially sinks beneath the blue, tepid waters of this “river in the ocean.” In certain months and years, as when ice floes and ice- bergs have been alarmingly numerous, our shipmasters take roundabout courses to avoid the perils of the ice passage, and often make long detours by indirect courses free of ice, not knowing how wide a berth it is necessary to give these frozen monsters. It now appears, by these beautiful and benign labors of the German geographer and scientist, that the ice- bearing current is concentrated between forty- six degrees and fifty-one degrees west longi- tude, and ice is more rarely observed to the westward than to the eastward of this belt. But the significance of this ice region to the mariner lies in the great physical fact that “the storm is the child of the ocean,”’ and the cold water torrent which flows over the New- foundland banks brings with it a mass of air which falls into the track of the sailor as far as thirty-five degrees west longitude and be- tween forty-five degrees and forty degrees north | latitude. The Polar air-stream seeks out the warm southwest equatorial air-current which accompanies the warm Gulf Stream and im- pinges on it at right angles, bringing the | wind vane quickly around, and the conflict is soon followed by the gale and tempest. The barometer rapidly oscillates along the line of | the aerial battle while these invasions of the northwest wind into the region of the | southwest current, ever on-flowing, con- tinue; and it is found by the silent but unerring tale which the mercury tells that on the passage from England to New York the ship is running from one field of combat to another and passing through successive storm eddies which chase each other over the Gulf Stream track. For the passage from New York to Liverpool, it appears, on the contrary, that the uniform range of the barometer indi- cates that the ship nearly keeps pace with the storm. One of the invaluable features of Von Free- den’s work is its exhibit of the distribution of winds, currents, cyclones and storms accord- ing to latitude and longitude for each season of the year, the phenomena which are peou- liar to every mile of the track across the stormy North Atlantic. As a general result of this ex- hibit it is seen that, on an average, homeward bound vessels should keep to the southward of fifty degrees north latitude, where they on- | McClellan as embarrassing the party in 1864 counter the northwesterly gales, and outward bound vessels from New York should stand to the northward of that parallel. The October tracks derive special importance from the fact that this is the first month in which the out- ward passage from this port to Europe should always be more northerly than the return. The resulta arrived at by the distinguished author cited justify his pungent but judicious remark that it will be far better for professed meteorologists to limit their labors to indi- vidual districts of the ocean instead of follow- ing the omniscient diletlanti on the field of philosophical theories. The new German con- tribution adds an important chapter to the physical geography of the sea. The Ohio Bemocratic Convention. The State Convention of the democratic party of Ohio will meet in Columbus for the purposes of nominating a ticket for’Governor and other State officers and promulgating the platform of the party for their approaching October State election. There will evidently be three parties in this contest—the national administration or regular republican party; the party of liberal republicans and exhausted democrats, which, we believe, has assumed the style and title of the people’s party; and, A dail will be given in their honor by the Provincial: government on Friday next, General Myer, of the Signal Service Bureau, is: Preparing @ pleasure programme for the Sixty- fifth regiment, N.

(Louis Philippe Marie Victor Leopold), the Count of Flanders; Her ex-Majesty the Em- press Marie Charlotte of Mexico, Duke Philippe of Wurtemburg and Her Royal Highness Marie Clémentine d’Orleans—all these kings, princes, ‘rectus in curia,” the democratic party, ‘un. mixed with baser matter.’’ The liberal or third party has held its convention and is before the people of Ohio on a composite platform of democratic and Cincinnati principles and with a mixed ticket of democrats and liberals; the regular democrats will, of course, pro- claim their adhesion to the general policy of the national administration and nominate an out-and-out administration ticket, while the democrats are expected to cut loose from their late entangling alliances and to reaffirm their ad- hesion to and faith in the old democratic party as their ‘‘new departure.’’ Numerous ‘old line democrats’ have been suggested, cach by one or more of the party journals of the State, as the proper man to be nominated for Governor as the party standard- bearer in this campaign. Conspicuous among them are William Allen, an old democratic wheel-horse, and John N. McMahon, a chief among the tribe in Dayton. The latter is re- commended as sound in the old party taith, inasmuch as in‘enumerating the men to whose bad faith in regard to democratic principles and platforms may be charged the heaviest disasters of the party he names General by his repudiation of its platform; Horatio Seymour as guilty of the same offence in 1868, when Judge Chase should have been nomi- nated, and Horace Greeley, who was the em- bodiment of protection and represented the odds and ends, which the democracy always detested; and in Ohio General McCook is named as a candidate who, in departing from the ‘‘new departure” of Vallandigham, demoralized the party in their last State canvass. These are the views of Mr. McMahon, and the Cincinnati Hnquirer, the leading demo- cratic organ of Ohio, says that from the demo- cratic party, as their candidate for Governor, “the times demand a man who entertains just such views.’’ From these and other fore- shadowings we infer that the Ohio democrats, from their Convention, which meets to-mor- Tow, will proclaim a new departifre under the old party banner; but we suspect at the time that the old platform will be repaired in the substitution of new timber for some of the old worn-out and worm-eaten uprights and planks of the old concern. At all events, from its bearings upon the reconstruction party for 1876, this impending Ohio Demo- cratic State Convention will be a political as- semblage of more than local importance, Buteuam Youne’s Divorce Surr has ap- parently been cleverly quashed.

The following despatch was received at the State Department a few days ago, a copy of which has been transmitted to the Treasury Depart. ment:— “Consul Maloy, at St. Johns, N.

In their last report to Congress the Commissioners esti- mated the total number of ciaims to be filed under the act at 19,000, and the amount to be claimed at $50,000,000 in round numbers, ‘The extraordinary exertions of tne claim agents, however, when they itound that the time jor filing claims was not likely to be ox- tended for the present beyond the two years originally fixed by Congress, resulted in a consid- erable addition to the estimated number and amount of the claims to be filed. No less than 1,278 Claims, representing, according to claimanta? figures, considerably more than taree million dol- | lars, were fileg under date of March 3— the last day allowed by law tor tne presentation of claims. Many more were shut out ‘rom pres- ent consideration by the somewhat unexpected termination of the right to present them, and tuere are believed to be several thousand persons yet im the late insurrectionary States who, despite the exertions cf the government agents and the at- torneys, have not even heard of the act of Congress passed jor the benefit of such of them as were not adherents of the confederacy. Claims are pre- sented daily to the Quartermaster General and Commissary General by residents of the better informed loyal States, who have but just learned that Congress passea @ special act nearly ten years ago to pay for prop- erty taken for army use in States not iu rebellion. General Meigs, the Quartermaster General, will not recommend a statute of limitations for clanus com- ing be:ore him, as in the case of claims before the Loyal Claims Commission, and the Commissary General believes, from his daily experience, that Such @ statute, Whenever passed, would be certaim to exclude some meritorious claims against the government irom just settlement, and that in the case of the Southern claims Congress mus¢ either extend the time for filing them pefore the Commissioners or submit to the alternative of re- ceiving and considering them singly, under the constitutional right of petition, as all the ex- cluded claimants have already signified their in- tention of prosecuting their claims directly before the Claims Committee of the two branches of Con- gress, Under the settlement so far made by the Commissioners about one million two hundred thousand dollars have been distributed among some fourteen hundred claimants, scattered alt over the eleven insurrectionary States, tne awards, except ina comparatively small number of cases, being for a few hundred dollars each. at the coming session of Congress they expect to award about one million dollars, to”be similarly distributed, and will then have disposed of about twenty-four per cent of the numuer of claims filed and twenty per cent of the amount claimed. Now that all the claims are before them that can be presented ander the original act of Congress, the Commissioners have had prepared and have in press @ full digest of the claims, giv- ing by States and counties the names of claimants and the amounts claimed, accompanied by the ex- planatory statement that the names are those of citizens of the Southern States who have, within the past two years, declared themselves tohave been devoted adherents to the Union throughout the late war, and the amounts and | vaiues set by claimants upon the supplies contrib- uted, voluntarily or otherwise, for the use of the Union forces operating in the South, but not tbe damage, logs and destruction of real and personal property suffered through the casualties of war or the unauthorized spoliation and depredations of the troops and camp followers. This list of claims and claimants has veen prepared chieny to meet the applications of former officers and soldiers of the Union army curious to know wha among their Southern acquaintances of the war are now claiming to have been both loyal and opulent ten or twelve years ago, But the Commissioners, for the sake of the information to be obtained, | Intend to send the pamphlet free of charge to au who apply in person or by letter, Honors to a State Department Clerk, A meeting of the oMcers and clerks of the State Department was held to-day, at which resolutions 3,000 thalers toward the buildin of a Russian church there, ‘The Kari and Wountess of Duffen were present DLs ReoMpRA ds comeert wt Halli last even of respect and honor to the memory of the late Ohtef Clerk Chew were adopted.
