The vessel upon which, it is alleged, these savage cruelties occurred is the ship Sunrise, and, as it appears, they were perpetrated in the course of a long voyage from this port around “the Horn” to San Francisco. We agree with our San Francisco contemporary that this matter calls for serious and strict examination, and that if the accused officers are innocent they owe it to themselves to prove it. In any event we trust that these horrible accusations against them will be sifted to the bottom, and that justice will be done according to the law and the testimony. mow ¢tme Nations Are Coming To- gether—The Evangelical Alliance— Hungary and Austria—Silent Prog- ress of Internationalism. The presence in this city of the various repre- sentatives of Protestantism from the four quarters of the globe, in the sixth General Conference of the Evangelical Alliance, na- turally carries the mind away to other instru- mentalities co-operating in the great work of bringing the nations together. Having, in several editorial articles already given our readers on this Evangelical Conference, fully presented the cosmopolitan character and ob- jects of this religious assemblage of learned men, we may turn to some of those other in- strumentalities engaged in other forms and ways in the same high and sacred cause of our common humanity. The universally popular institution of these international exhibitions of the world’s industrial products is one of these other agencies which, since the memorable year 1851, has been, from year | to year, bringing the nations nearer and nearer to each other. The latest of these world’s fairs, that which has just closed at the far distant city of Vienna, has, in many respects, been the most remarkable of the series, particularly in bringing the peoples of the West into fraternal communion with the tribes and races of the Orient. And this, in connection with the late visit of the juries of the Vienna Fair to the ancient city of Pesth—the beautiful capital of Hungary—re- calls to us, in the new reunion of Austria and Hungary, the great results in bringing the nations together achieved by the political forces steadily tending in this direction. Many men in this generation not yet in middle life will remember the enthusiasm with which Louis Koesuth was welcomed in the United States. Kossuth had led the rebel- lion against Austria in 1848, when the great revolutionary movement was sweeping over Europe. He had failed, and the failure had been visited with circumstances of atrocity on the part of the victors. We do not suppose that Haynau and Radetsky and the other vic- torious commanders were in any sense more severe in repressing rebellion than our gener- alsin the South or active generals anywhere; for this business of murder has few alleviat- ing traits, whether we call it massacre, assas- sination or war. But Austria had a new Empress, then scarcely more than eighteen, and her councils were under the influence of the school of Prince Metternich, who was the inspiration of the Holy Alliance, a disciple of the law of severity and reaction, one of those famous and gifted men who aimed to over- throw the French Revolution by engrafting the ideas of the Middle Ages upon the nineteenth century. So Hungary was harshly punished. Her leaders were shot or hanged. Kossuth fled in exile. Andrassy accompanied him. Kossuth came to America. The splendor of his eloquence, his felicitous and extraordi- nary command of the English tongue, his en- thusiasm, what he aspired to do, what he did, what he failed in doing, our fondness for a new name and a new face, especially if they came as champions of republicanism, all combined to render the welcome of Kossuth an extraordinary event. Nothing came of the welcome but champagne and eloquence. America would not send an army to restore Kossuth to the government of Hun- | gary. We believe that Mr. Webster, in one of the last acts of his long and varied career, ex- pressed the reasons for our government's re- fusal, and Kossuth, bitter and disappointed, retired to Europe to live in an exile which he maintains in his sad old age. The gates of Hungary have long been open to him, but he will not return. It is nearly a quarter of a century since Kossuth and his comrades made their un- availing effort to free Hungary. Then came the years of oppression and tyranny—the strenuous effort to reduce Hungary into a nameless, shapeless, soulless fragment of the Austrian Empire; a mere segment of a Power which despised it and aimed to control Germany and Italy. But Austria found weak- ness in this success. First came the war with France, the overthrow of the Austrian power in the lesser Italian States and tho first steps towards Italian unity. Austrian statesmen then saw weakness that came from discontented Hun- gary, and the Emperor relaxed his rule. The constitution, going back fora thousand years, and which had been declared forfeited on ac- count of the rebellion, was restored. This was after Magenta and Solferino. Then came the last Austrian struggle to win ascendancy in Germany, its failure and the fall of Sadowa. One of the schemes of that campaign was to march a Prussian army corps into Hungary and proclaim its independence. Austria saw this danger—saw in it no less than the dissolu- tion of her Empire, and made peace. The German dream was broken, and the Emperor fell back upon Hungary, which he had per- secuted, to be his bulwark and mainstay. The ancient and renowned kingdom, almost as populous as Spain, or as Prussia when she claimed to be one of the great Powers of the Holy Alliance, was restored. She had her own government, her own army and her own King. The Emperor was compelled to assume the special vows and dignities of the Crown of Hungary. To make them snrer he went to Pesth, the ancient capital, and was crowned King of Hungary with the venerable and fabled crown of St. Stephen. Riding to the crest of a mound composed of soil brought from the various battle fields and sacred places of Hungary, he pointed with his sword to the north; the sonth, the east and the west, and aloud made oath to defend the kingdom from all enemies, no matter whence they came. Nor was the union simply in name. Hungary is to-day the most powerful kingdom in the Austrian Empire. The men who were exiled for their effort to win Hun- garian freedom in 1848 are to-day high in station under Francis Joseph. His Prime Minister (Andrassy) was exiled until 1861, when he returned to take his part in the new time, and to rise from a condition of outlawry to be the chief servant of the Empire. The man whom Francis Joseph would have gladly hanged in 1849 presides over his Ministry in 1873, Truly it may be said that the stone which builders like old Metternich rejected has become the chief corner stone of the Empire. What wo see in all this is another advance in the direction of kindness among nations and liberty to the people. Every day the nations drift more and more steadily, surely and irre- voeably towards the dreaded dontrine of Inter- nationalism. This is the phrase at which kings are supposed to turn pale. It is the same as Napoleonism and Robespierreism in other days. And yet what is Internationalism but what we seo in Vienna, what wns seen in Pesth, what we hope to see in Philadelphia in 1876? The world is coming to it as surely as it came to the dreaded doctrines of Robes- pierre—as it came to accept the instructions of the French Revolution on the questions of Property, equal rights, Church and State. It is the law of these conflicts that what we first re- ject we are swift to accept when need comes, just as Austria was glad to accept Hungary and concede more than she demanded. This Vienna Exhibition, and these interchanged courtesies like the visit to Pesth, show the progress of events—that politics and state Policies follow the railway, the telegraph and the press. With light comes strength, kindness and friendship, and as the peoples in Europe gain more light they ask questions which the kings cannot always decline to answer. Why is it that a half million Prussians are kept under arms to kill a half million French- men—no anger between them—with wives and mothers to love and lands to till, ready to murder one another when one emperor has a distemper and another is trem- bling for his crown? This question and others more serious are being silently answered. We are becoming international in ‘spite of our- selves. The tawny Mongolian and the swarthy Moor hurry to Hungary to receive a Magyar’s welcome. We sing revolutionary hymns and float rebel flags in honor of the Emperor. We unite in world exhibitions to see that the world is large enough for all of us, and that, if we cannot have peace with the kings, then peace without them. It would be the oddest lesson in modern history if an Austrian kaiser in a world exhibition had done more than any one else to teach this, ‘The world moves,” and in its evangelical alliances, its international fairs, and in the ennobling ad- vances of their governments, and in their social and commercial relations, the nations are coming together. * The Yellow Fever at Shreveport and Memphis. The yellow fever at Shreveport, wa are happy to say, from our latest accounts, be- gins to show a marked abatement in its ray- ages. The new cases reported on Saturday last were not only less than those of any pre- ceding day since the general development of the epidemic, but were of a milder type. The total interments in the City Cemetery since the commencement of the disease were, on Saturday last, five hundred and twenty-seven, which, for a population of say five thousand, is a rate of mortality which would take off over a hundred thousand souls from the pop- ulation of the city of New York. From this application the reader will be enabled to form an idea of the dreadful sufferings and desti- tution which have fallen upon Shreveport from its deadly pestilence. We have no exact reports of the present state of the disease at Memphis, Tenn., but from the quarantine precautions adopted at Little Rock, Ark., and from the relief movements undertaken in St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville and other places for Memphis, it is evident that the fever has there, too, been a fearful scourge. And it is particularly severe upon Memphis, inasmuch as that city had not yet recovered from the ravages of the cholera when this yellow pestilence came in. We are-gratified to note the generous move- ments entered into here and elsewhere for the relief of these two afflicted South- ern cities. We hope that their immediate wants will thus be fully supplied; for when men, women and children are dying from pestilence, helplessness and famine within their doors, the first duty of their neighbors is relief, and all are their neighbors who are within reach of them in their sufferings. But, in the next place, the sanitary lessons so forcibly pro- nounced by these sufferings at Shreveport and Memphis cannot in those cities be too soon or too earnestly studied and applied. Shreveport, though up in the northwestern corner of Louisiana, lies in the midst of a region of miasmatic swamps and lakes, and, from the malarious diseases of every form to which the locality is naturally subject, extraor- dinary sanitary precautions are required to head off or to baffle such a dreadful visitor as the yellow fever. The | same may be said of Memphis, a city that, not- withstanding the high bank of the Mississippi upon which it is built, is badly drained, and which has, since the war, been sadly neglected in the cleaning up and washing out of its pestilential holes and corners. In the great practical work of Southern reconstruc- tion one of the most important duties de- volving upon our Southern people is the re- construction of their towns and cities and of their municipal governments, in reference to pure air, wholesome water and all the precau- tions so urgently demanded in the South against epidemics and the whole list of mias- matic diseases. Genmaxy—Tue Oxp Catuonic Bisnop Rem- EKNS.—It will be remembered by our readers that, some few weeks ago, the Old Catholics in council elected a bishop in the person of Dr. Reinkens. By this act the Old Catholics have proclaimed themselves an ecclesiastical soci- ety separate from Rome. It has already been announced that the election was approved of by the imperial government. It now appears that Bishop Reinkens will appear in Berlin on the 7th of the present month, and take the osth of allegiance to the German Empire, Tae Pourrtcan Muppiz m Mussiserert.— Governor Powers, of Mississippi, has issued a proclamation pronouncing the proposed State election this fall illegal. The Ames faction (Butler and administration), however, pro- pose to go to the poles, while the conserva tives will keep aloof, and it is generally sup- posed that federal power will be exercised to put Ames and others of the “elect’’ in office, as was the case in Louisiana, The Alcorn faction swear “by the Powers!’ the Ames faction by Ben Butler and General Grant. Derictent Hanvests are reported for the great grain producing districts of Hungary. With short crops in England and France, added to these deficiencies in Hungary, Europe will evidently need an unusually large pro- portion for the coming winter of our surplus breadstuffs; and, thanks to a bountiful Provi- dence, we have a surplus from which all the wants of Eurona mav be supplied. Views and Opinions of Foreign and Local Preachers. The grandest array of pulpit talent that has ever gathered together in this city is now here, and our people have had and will still have ample opportunities to compare the the- ologians and the theology of the Old World with those of the new. Very much of our religious reading to-day is the product of the Alliance delegates, and their utterances show maturity of thought and simplicity of presen- tation, coupled with an apparent earnestness of faith in the truths set forth, But we have among our own divines men able and learned also, whose lips drop fatness and whose words are like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Perhaps the most eminent ecclesiastio at present here as a delegate is the Dean of Canterbury, who preached yesterdav in the Church of the Ascension on the “Unity of the Spirit and of the Church of Christ.” He deprecated the religions controversies which have produced so much misery and discord among Christians. The unity of the spirit or spiritual unity exists among all lovers of God, and His infinence strengthens the bond in the unity of peace. The strongest evidence that has ever been given to the world that this union does exist is now presented in the gathering from the four quarters of the earth of the Evangelical Alliance. Among the eminent Methodists now here none stand higher as preacher or orator than Rev. Dr. Rigg, of London, who addressed St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church on Chris- tian charity—that charity that never faileth. The discourse was a running commentary on x, Corinthians, xiii., and there was little or no opportunity for the display of depth or origin- ality of thought in it. Faith, he remarked, be- longed to spirits dependent upon an independ- ent God, and as long as there is a mission to be performed hope must remain. Charity or love, which is a reflection of the divine nature, must also remain; so that these three, faith, hope and charity, as the Apostle declares, do “abide’’ and will abide forever among men. A vision of heaven and of the glory of the better land ought, indeed, to nerve any man to bear, to suffer or to endure anything for the Lord Jesus Christ, even to the laying down of his life. But it should, above all things, so inspire man’s soul that he could, like Stephen, pray for his murderers. Under the influence of such a vision of the ineffable glory he, the first Christian martyr, was enabled to spend his latest breath in prayer for his enemies. This was a manifestation of love for humanity second only to the love of Christ. This was the vision and the theme presented yesterday in the Scotch Presby- terian church by the Rev. Professor Smyth, of Londonderry. The evidences of Christianity, what are they? Are they sufficient to answer and to satisfy the sceptieal inquiries of the present age? Rev. Dr. Coullin, of Geneva, thinks they are, and#hat the manifestations of God’s presence are numerous enough for those who wish to be saved, without adding any more. Were God to verify His truth now by miracles or ghostly apparitions they would have no more effect upon us than they had upon the Jews eighteen cen- turies ago. The frequency of supernatural revelations would in the end work nothing but indifference, and it is doubtful if real manifestations would be of any service to reclaim men from sin. The indifference of the world is its worst sin. That is it, ex- actly. Not the absolute rejection of Christ and His salvation, for no man wishes to die unsaved; not the absence of desire heaven- ward or the lack of interest in the future, but the putting of it off to a more convenient sea- son, which to too many persons never comes; that is the greatest and most terrible crime of humanity. And Dr. Coullin made but a rea- sonable and proper request when he asked his French Evangelical congregation yesterday, and all others who may read his discourse in the Hznatp to-day, to despise the riches of divine grace no longer, but to seek the Lord at once. The Rev. Narayan Sheshadri, one of India’s converts, preached in University place church, and, while expounding a portion of Paul’s experience, set forth something of his own in illustration of the truth that unconverted souls are dead in trespasses and sins, but that when quickened by the spirit of Christ they become new creatures in Him. Hence, as he declared, the very beau ideal of humanity is a truly converted man. Among our local orators and preachers Rev. O. B. Frothinghoam takes no inferior rank. His discourse cannot be called a ser- mon, though it had a text as a figurehead. It was not an exposition of Scripture traths, but it was an exposition of the designs of the Catholic pilgrimages from this preacher's standpoint. He is evidently not favorably impressed with them. They are not under- taken alone by the ignorant and the super- stitious. The noble and the learned of Eng- land as well as the poor and illiterate of France engage in them. There must be a reason for this. What is it? Mr. Froth- ingham thinks he has discovered it. At the bottom it is political—it means the restoration of monarchy in France and the preservation of monarchy in England through the power and influence of the Roman Church. That Church is despotic. It has no sympathy with republican government. There is a great essential difference between republicanism and Romanism, Mr. Frothing- ham honors the Church of Rome for her hu- mility, devotion and self-conservation; but her purpose is not to lift humanity to higher aspirations, to inculeate broad, sweet charities, but rather to overthrow repnblicanism and to establish a great Catholic empire, and therefore he was opposed to it and he would have others like minded with himself. Per contra, Dr. McGlynn thinks the object of the Evangelical Alliance is to obstruct the progress of the Catholic Church—the Church that raised the ancestors of these delegates from besotted savages into civilized beings, that gave their countries saints and intellectual giants compared with whom these Christian young men and old men are mero toddling infants. The Doctor wished to raise at least one voice here to proclaim that there are hundreds of millions of true Christian hearts that cannot be weaned from _ allegi- ance to the Catholic Church—that Church which the Evangelical Alliance vilifies as superstitious, These men have the hardihood to call by the name of superstition the religion of the one Holy Catholic Church that bas given them all they possess of Christianity and of civilization. The Doctor { struggie tw save tne government of the pédple. thinks the true status of these gentlemen is that of recalcitrant children of the one Catholic Church of Christ. If the Alliance wants to find the road to true unity, un- shackled liberty and perfect charity the Doctor thinks they can find it only in the bosom of the Catholic Church, whither the humblest priest would gladly lead them. If Mr. Beecher, who is back again in his ac- customed place, had not told us that there is a most striking contrast in the spirit of modern science and the spirit of the New Testament we should have believed it from what our eyes see and our ears hear. But we have a double assurance now, coming from such excellent authority. But in nothing is this contrast so apparent as in things that relate to man. The picture of the gradual rising of man through the possession of the graces and gifts of the Spirit from mere sonship to the complete and perfect likeness of God was one worthy of Mr. Beecher, and was full of divine influences and inspiring hopes, Rev. Thomas Penrose and Rev. John Ash- worth, both English delegates to the Alliance, preached in Lefferts’ Park yesterday on present salvation—immediate conversion. The general addreases and proceedings of the Alliance last evening will be found in other columns of the Hznatp to-day. Complaints Against Board. We are continually receiving communica- tions referring to the Lighthouse Board and intimating that the members are somewhat remiss in the performance of their duties. One correspondent complains of the want of a lighthouse at Hart’s Island (Hell Gate), and states that although the construction of one has been commenced at that point the work has been suddenly suspended, and, it is feared, will not be resumed nor the lighthouse finished before the storms of winter set in. Another correspondent refers to the great necessity for properly marking the highly dangerous shoal (lying, as it does, directly in the track of at least three-fourths of the vessels of all classes in the entire coast trade of the United States) at Winter Quarter, off the coast of Virginia, by establishing a light- house or lightship there. It will be remem- bered that about a year since the Lighthouse Inspector of the New York district informed our readers, in response to complaints then made on the subject, that the Lighthouse Board had the matter under consideration at the time, and that he could confidently assure those interested that this light would promptly be erected. But another winter is upon us, with its bad weather, thick fogs, &., and there is“ no light and no _ appear- ance of a light or a _ lightship at Winter Quarter shoals yet. The Lighthouse Board at Washington cannot plead ignorance of the urgent necessity of a light there, for, besides the fact that a number of peti- tions have been sent to the Lighthouse Board for this light, a list of losses, wrecks, and other | disasters occasioned by the shoal has been forwarded officially to the Board. It may be here observed: that the light at Chincoteague, Va., is eleven and a half miles distant from Winter Quarter, much too far, except in the clearest weather, to serve both places; whereas a light at Winter Quarter could be passed close to on either side and thus the shoal there, as well as those at Chin- coteague, could be avoided without the neces- sity for burning coal and expending time, as is now the case, to keep off much beyond a straight, and, if a light were there, a safe course. The soundings thereabouts are irreg- ular and uncertain, and cannot, therefore, be depended upon in thick weather. We trust the Lighthouse Board will give their earliest attention to the above suggestions and by prompt action save a vast amount of property, and perhaps a number of precious human lives, before the gales and tempests of the fast approaching winter are over. the Lighthouse Tho Trial of Marshal Bazaine. The trial of Marshal Bazaine, which com mences at Versailles to-day, is an event that will attract the attention of the whole civilized world, In the ancient Trianon of Marie Antoinette the Premier Marshal of the Em- pire will have to listen to much that will recall with painful vividness the humiliating disasters to the French armies before the un- yielding hosts of Germany. The whole history of the terrible campaign may have to be repeated. But the pain of recitation is not the worst that may arise to the accused soldier. The present condition of affairs in France may somewhat mitigate in his favor, but Marshal Bazaine is too well versed in the his- tory of his country not to know that the predominant military chiefs of the moment will demand a rigid investigation of the fatal failure of Gravelotte and the subsequent fall of Metz It may appear somewhat strange, in a country where the sentiment of military glory has reached so far, that the soldier should be held to so rigid an accountability for his acts in the field; but it remains a fact that on almost every occasion where a Marshal of France has put his namo to the recapitula- tion of on army, the sentence of death has followed a trial by military tribunal. Death or expulsion from the army is the penalty for the offences charged to Bazaine. The Duc d’Aumale, who is not a military gen- eral, has been called upon to act as president of the tribunal—a fact that will probably call forth strange commentary at the present time; for who can fail to remark that a son of Louis Philippe is to sit in judgment on the first marshal of Napoleon the Third? Or who will fail to discover that wider questions than the guilt of the favorite marshal have received new and astonishing interpretations? Tur Sravcore iw THe Frencn Assempry. — Our French telegraphic despatches disclose the imminency of an earnest struggle which threatens the life of republican government in France. A firm league of monarchist Deputies in the Assembly in favor of the accession of the Duke of Chambord to the French throne as Henri V. is said to number three hundred and fifty in a cham- ber of seven hundred and thirty-eight members, Another report assumes that the monarchists have an undoubted majority of the Deputies, In this state of affairs all the republican elements in the several sections of the Left are marshalling themselves for the defence of the Republic in opposition to the monarchist reactionary effort. French patriots appeal to the republican sympathy of the United States for aid and comfort in their They should not not appeal in vain. in vain. Ta Inmnansicmyres Faeznod Frexpoorma. —The intransigentes aro still giving the Spanish government trouble. The crews of the war vessels—the Tetuan and the Fernando el Cato- lico—have effected a landing off Gawachu, for the purpose of procuring provisions. It is feared that they intend to plunder the silver mines in the neighborhood of Tierra Alma- grera. The British squadron has sailed in pursuit; and so also has the Spanish squad- Ton, under the command of Admiral Lobos. The intransigentes are not wanting in pluck, but they are evidently getting into tight places. They will find themselves in a fix if, when they return to the shore, the ships are missing. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, Admiral Polo de Barnabé¢, the Spanish Minister, and his son, Sefior Luis Polo, have arrived at the Clarendon Hotel. The Rev. James McDevitt, late assistant pastor of St. Matthew’s church, Washington, has been transferred to St. James’, Oliver street, New York. The nineteenth baby took the premium at a baby show out West. One would have thought the Parents old enough to have had a little more sense than to make such an exhibition of thelr own flesh and blood. Mr. E. Welby Pugin, an English architect and archeologist of some note, arrived on the Calabria. Mr. Pugin is a son of the gentleman who, with Barry, designed the present Houses of Parliament. Charles A. Lewis, of New London, Conn., has pre- sented to the library of Trinity College, Hart- ford, a valuable collection of works in French literature, about 300 volumes in all, uniformly bound tn calf. Dr. Pichler, the German philologist, who was last year transported to Siberia for purloining books from the Russian imperial library, has been par- doned dy the Czar, at the request of Prince Leopold of Bavaria. The Patrons of Husbandry are to start a new organ in Milwaukee, Wis., to be called the Mowing Machine, Timothy Hay, a relative of John Hay, author of “Little Breeches” and other poems, it 18 said, is to be the editor. Monsignor Falcinelli, the Papal Nuncio at Vienna, asked leave from the Pope to absent himself from the Austrian capital during the visit of Victor Em- manuel, but Cardinal Antonelli decided thatit would be suffictent for him to be “indisposed” through that period, The Sublime Porte complains of the conduct of the Emperor of Austria in receiving the Prince of Servia, whoisa tributary to the Sultan, without an introduction by the Turkish Ambassador at Vienna. Ink is flowing in torrents, but no blood- shed is anticipated. Archbishop Manning has replied to an imputa- tion of disbelief made by a writer to the London Times that he has faith in all the seventy miracles upon which is founded the ‘Devotion of the Sacred Heart.” He says, however, “they are not, and cannot be, matter of divine faith, because they do Not rest on the revelation of God,” The Chieftain of the Glens or Bogs has had a hard time in his travels through Tralee, Ireland, to solicit suffrages. Here is an extract that describes one of his experiences:—“Amongst the missiles heaped on The O'Donoghue were numerous rotten eggs. While passing Bridge street an empty flour sack was shaken at him, and porter thrown at him on soliciting the vote of a publican in Castle street. A pail of water deluged him Just at this instant, ag he was passing the hotel.” LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. A New Vouume of ‘Transatlantic Travel” will shortly be published by Joan Erastus Lester, M, A. THE ROYAL GROGRAPHICAL SocreTy has pub- ished a new work on Southern Central Africa, en- titled “The Lands of Cazembe.” It embraces a translation of Dr. Lacerda’s diary, by Captain Burton, giving an account of the former's cele- brated visit to the Kingdom of Lacerda, where he died.
