SHEET, Amerten ‘at the Vienna World's Pair—Our Prizes and Our Progress— The American Centennial. In another portion of the Hznarp of this day will be found a complete list of the Amer- ican exhibitors who have obtained prizes or medals at the Vienna World’s Fair. In hav- ing these awards transmitted by special cable despatch to the Hznaup we have thought that the énterprise of a great newspaper could be put to no greater service than hastening to our national industrial community tidings of the honors which have been fairly won in the use- ful arts in peaceful contest with the civil- ized nations of the world. However powerful we may be otherwise as a nation, however inspiring may be the example of our popular government to the peoples of Europe, in the industrial force and genius of our nation will be found that on which, above all, we must bring our power to its true test. The awards for merit, for progress won in the land of the Kaiser, have a greater significance for us than for any other people in the world. Teepresented by their exhibitors, the old, old countries of Europe were there with their cumulative wealth and experience ; the coun- tries old in years, but gifted with what seems perennial youth and vigor, such as England, France and Germany, were there; the countries hoary with conservative Asiatic civilization were there; and beside them the young republican giant of the West stood to wrestle for the palm of precedence in the arts of peace that ennoble mankind beyond the parchment, power of kings and bring life in the aggregate towards its acme of mutual use- fulness and in its entities of self-help. It would be out of place here to discuss the con- catenation of unfortunate circumstances by which the display of the United States was made to suffer and which so‘contrived to de- preciate us at the start in the eyes of the world. We must turn for our consolation to the solid array of brilliant triumphs which our inventions, our constructions, our manu- factures, our educational system—in a word, our civilization—brings us from the great World’s Fair by the banks of the Danube. There, in the ten grand diplomas of honor, inthe medals for the various classes adjudged to America, we find something to crush and cover out of sight the pitiful misman- agement, contumacy or worse which pained the nation when the gates of the Exposition were flung open at the Kaiser's bidding only to find the American department closed. This national justification, this Union victory over huge odds, we deem well worthy the labor and cost of laying through the col- umns of the Hzrarp before the American people as soon as the battle was gained, the awards made, As we have already announced through the Henatp specials from Vienna, the awards were finally concluded on as promised yesterday. The official promulgation thereof in the Aus- trian capital will be made to-day. By stroke of Henratp enterprise we are, therefore, en- abled to lay them in full before our readers on the same day they are published in Vienna. The interest attaching to them will be felt in every village of our land. To every class and grade of industry the Hznatp special from Vienna will be of live value. The inventor will pause from his brain work and his models tosee how his ingenuity or his genius is recognized; the manufacturer will scan the list of favored ones with eager eyes to find if the name of his firm figures in the list of honor; the planter in the South will rejoice to find how his cotton is “king’’ in Kaiserland; the farmer in the glorious West will rub the rich soil from the nameplate of his reaper to see if truly the machine that lays low the golden corn, spring- ing where so lately the red men wheeled their horses in savage fight, bears the name that mowed down all pretensions to rivalry where a thousand years ago the old German Empire placed its outer bulwark against the barbarians; the citizen of the Golden State will be proud to learn that California vies with China in her silk cocoons; the sturdy Pennsylvanian iron-worker will ‘‘unbend his ponderous strength and lean to hear” how his State stands outin the “iron age;"’ the working girl and the housewife will smile to know that their sewing machines have wons medal; the tried workman of every trade will read him- self or ask his neighbor how fared his craft in the world struggle for the palm in solid work. The interest will heighten as the awards are discussed in the blunt but clear-headed way that the skilled in all professions, businesses and trades deal with the things of their speci- alty. Few struggles in the Old Werld, the embattled hosts of mighty nations Were engaged in bloody conflict, conld evoke a tithe of the sympathetic comment that the fair, plain list of our industrial garlands will call forth. No list of princely or plebeian “missing” in European battle could cause such keen anxiety as those whose names ure not enrolled in the Henatp’s pages to-day. The very limit to the prizes, by the side of what our possibilitiesin the future are, will cause many a man of thought to take the les- son of this Exhibition to heart in a manner which we should be glad to see impress itself onthe entire people. In merely beholding the contest between the nations we shall learn not merely how far we have gained in the arts of lifo as compared with them, but we shall grasp more effectively the finer secret of how these arts may be applied, so that the free scope which our freedom gives may be made the means of enhancing the comfort and the well-being of the entire people. Conscious of the warm, coursing blood in the national veins, and steadied by the years that have been at times so rude in their lessons to us, we see to-day how others seo us asin our noblest desires we would wish to be seen—a free, industrious, nervo-filled, striving people. To this end let the nation study closely our material victories in Vienna, as we studied our moral ones not a decade ago, when the Union was resting from an affright- ing civil war, The story to-day is the story of peace, and that alone is subject for pto- found and heartfelt congratulations. There is another point to which this list of successful exbibitors at Vienna calls immediate attention—namely, our own World's Fair, which is to mark the completion of a century of national existence. They are the profitable outcome of our taking part in an exhibition divided, so far as articles go, into twenty-six grand groups, with no fewer than one hundred and seveuty- two subdivisions and probably over a thousand kinds, Uader the obstacle-croating circum- ‘stances of distance, poor management, fears concerning patent rights and 60 forth, these ranges of display were far from satisfactorily covered, and in many instances, doubtless, not covered at all where they might have been. We print a full list of these groups and their minor divisions, that our American manufacturers and artisans may not only see the points where we were strongest at Vienna, but the entire field, of which we must not leave an inch uncovered in 1876 at Philadelphia. The signs of awakening enthusiasm in the grand project of the Cen- tennial celebration are not wanting, as it be- comes clear to the working millions of the nation that we have no time to spare and that our prestige, our industrial honor, is staked on the event, which will be an omen in other ways of the power of the people working for the people through a completed cycle. It would be premature to say how in the present case we compare with the nations of older growth. Deeply as it may concern us, we are now dealing with the lesson that our industrial successes have for ourselves alone. It is as though the brazen wall that Jonathan Swift supposed to be built around a country existed, when the question was, How would the nation then live and fare? Happily this incommunication is unlikely to be applied to us, but it may give food to more than casuists for digestion. In 1876 we shall invite the world to come to us, as though that isolation had existed for a century. Lot the earnest effort of our industrial myriads answer how the world will find us in 1876, French Policy Towards the Carlist Belligerents in Spain, A telegram from Don Carlos’ headquarters in the field, special to the Henatp, which appears in our columns to-day, conveys the important and quite interesting intelligence that the government of the French Republic is prepar- ing for a complete recognition of the Spanish Carlists as belligerents in Spain. The report states that the initiatory step towards a decision to this cffect has been already taken by President MacMahon. Orders have been issued to the French customs officers permitting the transit of arms and munitions of war between the Custom House lines of the two countries in the south of France. A French decree of the year 1805, which prohibited the traffic, is thus rescinded, and the officials of the Re- public serving on the dividing border line have been duly notified of the fact by circular from Paris. This action of President Mac- Mahon will serve to relieve the anxiety of the Bourbonist commissariat officers both in tho field and in foreign countries, particularly in England. Under its operation they can dis- pense with tho use of steamships, and con- sequently forego the heavy charges of a perilous means of transportation, as well as the risk of capture by the Spanish navy. Don Carlos’ troops, which now muster twenty-six thousand men, will receive fresh inspiration whon they are informed of such a substantial exhibition of French fraternity. Tbe act of President. MacMahon, although not an act of full belligerent recognition to the Carlists, is a very significant wink in favor of monarchical restoration in Spain. The doughty Don who claims the throne of Ferdinand and Isabella will be placed on his mettle in a still more animated manner, and it may be that he will claim that in his expression of hostility to his dynasty M. Thiers did not represent the sentiment of the French people, but merely gave vent to his own ill fecling. Madrid has already expe- rienced the influence of the French decree, The Ministry of the Spanish Republic en- deavors to combat its consequences by antici- patory denunciation of the influences which, as it alleges, have produced it; but despite this the great fact remains. The renewed muster of the foreign fleets on the coast of Spain goes to. show that it is expected to produce immediate fruits, so that, perhaps, the great national imbroglio of that country has reached a crucial point forissue. It is not difficult to see the truth of the Spanish gov- ernment’s allegation, that this action of MacMahon is intended to give an impetus to the cause of the Bourbon Chambord in France. A Bourbon king on both sides of the Pyrenees is doubtless the programme. The Crowbar Still Busy. Reform was busy yesterday exposing tons of reeking filth beneath the sidewalk and gutter booths about Catharine Market. Thanks are due to the Board of Health for the prompt, bold manner in which it is dealing with nuisances which had become powerful, if not reputable or deeent, by age. It has vindicated the rights of the public in tearing away the obstructions which gathered about the mar- kets—fruitful seeds of disease, to poison all who deal in or visit these great food depots. To-day it will use the crowbar at Centre Market. In turn all the sources of foul air about other markets are to be similarly treated. It is to be hoped that while thus busy in exposing and cleansing the sources of disease, for which individuals have been to blame, the Board will not lose sight of the monstrous evil of a manure and garbage dump in immediate contact with our chief wholesale market on Vesey street pier. When that offensive insti- tution is in operation the dirt carts going to it with their loads of abominations must pass in effect through the market, dropping samples of their nauseous contents to taint the air. This the Health Board has the power to pre- vent. Its own action, declaring the dump a death-threatening nuisance, shows a clear understanding of the case. If the refuse of the lower wards had to be carted to Harlem it should be done rather than that its foul odors should be allowed to poison our food at Washington Market. Not Very Grateful Neighbors. We mean Mexico and the Sandwich Islands. The first we saved from utter destruction as an independent American nation, and have borne long the breaches of good neighbor- hood and friendly obligations, as well as the violation of treaties on her part; and yet she manifests unfriendly feeling and jealousy con- tinually. By the latest news from the City of Mexico we are informed that the majority of the new Congress will be opposed to all con- cossions to citizens of the United States, and this is a Congress in harmony with the Lerdo administration. This is the sort of gratitude we get from our Spanish-American neighbors. Then there are the Sandwich Islands, which have been civilized. as far as they are civil- ized, chiefly by Americans, The man-eating Kanakas have, within a short period, been rescued from barbarism by missionaries, tra- ders and others from the United States. In fact, the government, while nominally native, was really foreign, and made up principally of American citizens, We have fostered, pro- tected and done much every way for those islands, and the natives—yes, were absurd enough to recognize and support a sort of breechless royalty, a miserable pinchbeck imi- tation of monarchy; and now “His Majesty the King,” the chiefs and natives, are united in refusing to cede a small island the United States wanted and needed for naval purposes. What a farce! What pretence and ingratitude on the part of these Kanakas! The time is not distant when these conceited and ungrate- ful neighbors will be made to learn to respect more the forbearance and power of the United States. The Latest Railroad Disaster—Who Is Responsibie and What Is To Be the Cure? This morning we give further particulars of the railroad disaster which took place on Sat- urday night on the Chicago and Alton Rail- ro2d, between Willow Station and Lemont, at @ point distant some eighteen or twenty miles from Chicago. It is one of the worst cases of which we have any recollection, and it carries us back to Carr's Rock, to Angola and to other scenes of equally painful memory. Coming so suddenly on the heels of the Wawaset disaster and of the recent smash on the Hudson River Railroad, and occurring at a season of the year when a large and most important section of the American people are literally living on the steam car or on the river boat, this latest disaster is fitted to in- spire us with the gravest alarm and to awaken the most serious apprehensions. Is this state of things to continue? Is our Summer travelling, whichis, with this people, so much of a necessity, to become an annual source of sorrow? Are our railroad cars and our steamboats heneeforth to be regarded as so many infernal machines? The Hudson River Railroad affair was bad; the Wawaset business was shocking; but this fresh railroad disaster is in many respects worse than either. In the case of the Wawaset the company was greatly to blame for carrying so many more passengers than the law allowed; and the seventy-five dead bodies, not to speak of the sufferings of the unfortunate victims and the scarcely less poignant sufferings of the almost equally unfortunate relatives, reveal the ghastly fruit produced by the cupidity of the owners. It was a sad and wicked busi- ness—all the more sad and all the more wicked that not one of us can tell how znuch we are at the mercy of equally conscienceless scoundrels and how near we are, every one of these Summer days, to the same melancholy fate. The terrible event of Saturday night has robbed at least twelve persons of sweet life, and that without any note of timely warning, while some thirty-five are seriously injured, not a few of them maimed and otherwise rendered helpless for life. The cause of the catastrophe—for we cannot call it accident—is plain and intelligi- ble to the merest child. The conductor of the freight train is, no doubt, greatly toblame. He knew that if he could reach the switch before the passenger train he could do so by the merest chance. He knew that a collision was possible, and he knew also that the lives of many unsuspecting persons were put by his rash act in the balance of seconds rather than minutes of time. It was not necessary for him to be in such hot haste. He created the difficulty and then braved it like a madman. He put on the steam and rode to death and ruin, The conductor cannot certainly be held guiltless ; but what shall we say of the station agent at Lemont? Mr. Huston will find it difficult to exculpate himself. He knew that the passenger train was due and that if the freight train could reach the switch first it could only be by a sort of miracle; and yet he allowed the freight train to start. No doubt he will have much to say in his own vindication, He will tell us that he expostulated, but expostulated in vain. Before he can be held guiltless he must give good and satisfactory proof that the conductor of the freight train put on the steam and moved on his perilous and destructive way in direct opposition to his positive orders. In this case, however, as in all those which have gone before, responsibility will, in all likeli- hood, be shifted from shoulder to shoulder— the station master will blame the conductor, the conductor will blame the station master, the public mind will be bamboozled by con- flicting testimony, the guilty will escape un- punished and steamboat and railroad compa- nies will go on in their work of slaughter with impunity. What is to be done? We recur to the ques- tions with which we started. Are wo to re- main at the mercy of theso soulless corpora- tions? Is this wholesale slaughter to con- tinue and no one be held responsible? It is not so in monarchical Europe. Why should it beso in republican America? If we have laws to punish the offenders the laws should be rigorously and without any show of lenity enforced. If the laws existing are not equal to the situation let our legislators do the needed work—let laws be enacted adequate to all such cases. It is not our opinion that the mero punishment of agents of companies will rid us of the evil. To our gigantio rail- road and steamship monopolies what signifies the imprisonment of a station master, the re- moval of a conductor or the disqualification of anengineer? Such sacrifices are so easily made that they can afford to be indifferent, and to go on proudly pocketing rich revenues and recklessly ruining human life, Let the laws be levelled at the managers and owners, not at the paid hirelings; let the penalty be made in every caso equal to the offence, and the recklessness will be discontinued, the evil complained of will cease. We see no reason why tho companies should not be. held re- sponsible for the life of every passenger they carry, or why they should not be compelled to pay down a given sum for every life lost through their inefliciency or mismanagement, and a given sum also, properly proportioned, of course, for every injury sustained. It is an old story that public bodies have no con- science. Tho truth of the old adage is receiv- ing daily ond hourly illustration. As our railroad companies cannot be reached through their consciences let a vigorous attempt be made to reach them through their character of our modern monopolists, and mistake also the character ot the American people, such an attempt, wisely and deter- minedly made, would do » world of good, As it is the life of a human being is deemed of less value than an old rail or an old carrisge wheel. A fifty thousand dollar fine for each life sacrificed, and a twenty thousand dollar fine for every injury sustained, and common sense and watchfulness and economy of the right sort might return to our railroad and steamboat management. A great Republic like this should not exist solely for the benefit of irresponsible monopolista. The time has come when the evil of which we complain can no longer be endured. Our people must not for- get that the cure is in their own hands, If the evil continues the blame will be theirs, The War in Spain. Atelegram from Cartagena, special to the Heznatp, which we publish to-day, reports the progress of the Spanish war as it was con- ducted at that particular portion of the terri- tory on the 16th inst. The account is not pleasing or by any means encouraging to the cause of the people as it is championed by the Spaniards. Democrats, radicals and ‘‘reds’’ were in partisan uproar and engaged in a political strife leading to actual hostilities against life and property. Non-combatants were fleeing from the tuwn in great numbers, Estate and industry were affrighted and the idea of a general distribution of wealth and capital advocated by the Communists, In- transigentes’ gunners fired on a Spanish gov- ernment squadron. Murcia was taken by the republican army. The fate of Berga remained somewhat uncertain; its battles and capture and reca; were being fought over and over again in paper bulletins by democrats and Bourbonists. Evil-minded persons promulgated the idea of incendiarism in the towns by means of petroleum. The Internationalists at Barcelona discouraged the plan of firing the factories in that city—not, however, under any precept of Christian duty or respect for the law of meum and tuum, but in uccordance with the spirit of an economic confiscation, which leads them to hope that the property will fall to themselves as proprie- tors at an early day. It is not to be wondered at that, under such circumstane:s, the foreign Powers turn their eyes still more anxiously towards the const of Spain. The outside governments are mustering their navies in sight ofthe shore, The flag of the United States is represented among the ensigns, England, cautious against the advent of any new com- plication, has despatched the captured Spanish iron-clads Vittoria and Almansa under guard to Gibraltar. These vessels aro by the act of Great Britain put out of the way certainly, but whether the neighboring States will approve of the place of British policement remains to be seen. If it has been executed with their consent, why, it is well; but, if not, it may appear as if Her Britannic Majesty had be- come anxious to make an opportunity for the securement of the famous fortress Spanish assault on the land side. Very bold ideas are frequently generated in the mind of a nation when it is in hot citizen ferment, and the Spanish radicals may call to mind the fact that even Prim deemed the reconquest of Gibraltar to Spain a military possibility.

Norra Conway, N. H., August 18, 1873, To-day the President, who has certainly enjoyed @ delightful six days’ sojourn among the hospitable people of Maine, left the State with many regrets, and invaded the domain of Governor Straw, of New Hampshire. Colonel H. 8. Osgood, who has 80 acceptably succeeded Mr. Burt, of Boston, as manager of the details, bad telegraphed ahead and effected all the arrangements to the satisiaction of the President’s party. DEPARTURE FROM AUGUSTA. At nine o’clock this morning the President and lus family took their adieu of Augusta, where so many pleasant associations centre, and, embarking on & Special car, left for this point, They were ac- companied by Mr. Blaine and family, Colonel R. B. Smith, Deputy Collector of Portland, and a few other gentlemen. The party were comfortably located in a palace car, under the direction of Conductor Nuth, of the Maine Ventral Railroad, and made no halt until they reached Brunswick, where wood and water were supplied to the engine. There a few persons, hear- tng of the approach of the party, had collected at the depot to see General Grant, whose name had become a household word, and when he arrived a¢ the depot they crowed eagerly about the car to get. a look at him. Some were success{ul, others dis- sppoinied but there was no demonstretion made, either o/ delight on the part of tae more favored or regret by disappointed. ARRIVAL AT PORTLAND. The train arrived at Portiand at about hall-past eleven. Here @ crowd had also collected at tue depot, and the appearance of the Chief Magistrate was the signal for a hearty cheer. The special, aiter a brief delay,started over the Portland and Og- densburg Railroad, up the picturesque Valley of the Saco, which, for rerery of scenery and grandeur, can ‘hardly be surpassed in New England. ‘Tho road runs along the line of the river and the towns. are sparsely settled, yet at all the stations there were collected curious coe to see the Presi- dent’s special thundering by. But two stop- pages were made—at Sebago Lake, a lovely sheet of water a few miles from Portland, and Fryeburg, some forty miies from Portland, At both of these pisces the populace crowded around the car, and faint eheers were heard. THE RECEPTION AT NORTH CONWAY. ‘The train arrived at North Conway about fifteen minutes after one, having made the sixty two miles in one hour and three quarters, Carriages were in waiting, and the party were driven to the Kearsarge House, where suits of rooms had been taken for them.
