NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, The Situation im France-A King or @ Republict—What Is the Future? In the tempest and uproar which have swept over our country like the recent mid- summer cyclone, which had its terrible will on the North Atlantic, we are apt to overlook the important events which control the Continent of Europe. Weare not inclined to think ealmly upon matters interesting to the French and the Spaniards when surrounded by the wrecks of the financial storm. But the nations are so bound together that whatever concerns France cannot fail to concern the United States. France is now solving a problem in which her peace and prosperity are largely involved. Great as are many of the events in her late history no event will have a broader meaning than the result of the deliberations at Ver- sailles, And weare assisted in comprehending the problem by the intelligent and keen analysis of it which we print this morning from our correspondent in Paris. We are liable to mistake the historical mean- ing of an era when we are near it, just as we lose the expression of a countenance or a pic- tare when our eyes look at it too closely. What is a momentous event to the American people this morning, asserting its historical value in wide, endless columns of newspaper narrative and commanding the attention of all men, will be forgotten to-morrow; while an obscure, unseen record in a corner may tell in two lines an event that history will dwell upon for centuries. The fall of Sedan was an extraordinary circumstance. The world looked at itin terror and awe. Theologians opened their Bibles and told us that the battle of Armageddon, as written in the prophecies, had at length been fought; that Antichrist had fallen in the person of the third Bona- parte; and that we were coming upon the ful- ness of time when the prophecies were to be allfalfilled. It seemed so. The battle was a tremendous event, and the fall of the Empire awakened echoes destined to resound through the ages; and we could not but marvel at the wonderful dispensations of Providence and that we had lived to see them. But now that we look at it with clearer eyes and a better perspective, as it were, Sedan was not as great a battle as many that preceded it, Moreover, what remained to the Bonaparte Empire but that it should fall? It was just and wise and necessary that Germany should be a nation, German nationality and the dynasty of Napo- leon were antagonistic. They grappled, and the dynasty fell. We see now what a rotten thing it was, and marvel that it stood so long. In the vast pine forests of the Columbia River there are trees whose majesty pierces the skies and astonishes the eyes of men with their beauty and strength and vigor. We look upon them with the interest and pleasure invariably inspired by unusual manifestations of nature. A storm comes, and with the first blasts the tree falls, and we see that its core was only hollowness and decay. Then we learn that in that land aninsect so minute that it can scarcely be seen will bore its way into the stateliest trunks and exhaust their life and fruit We learn also that the comeliest trees in the grove are mere shells and apt to fall before the | first uneasy gusts of November. This illus- tration reminds us of the French Empire. If Napoleonism had been a healthy growth of France Sedan would never have overthrown it. If it had even possessed the rudest vir- tues of a monarchy it would have lived. Na- tions are not apt to overthrow their rulers in } a time of national disaster. Jena only made | the King of Prussia dearer to his people. | When the Russian Alexander was over- whelmed the people assisted their Emperor to burn their capital. Austerlitz did not destroy the loyalty of Austria towards the Kaiser Somehow a people, no matter how restive under a ruler, will not abandon him when he makes war for the nation. There wero many. Americans who censured | Mr. Lincoln for the defeats of his generals, | but when they were asked to supersede him and choose McClellan we know the answer. So that there was no life in the Napoleon dynasty that was not artificial. There was no real, hearty, natural relation between France and Napoleonism, not even the relaticns of the root and the evil. The Empire was gaudy and vast and attracted the world’s con- stant attention. But it was builded upon the sand, and when the tempest came it fell, even as houses on the sand were said to have fallen in the Scriptures. Our correspondent gives us many logical reasons for believing that the Count de Cham- bord will return to France and sit on the throne, and his views seem to be strengthened by our latest cable despatches. We shall not enter into these reasons, except to say that no matter what the result may be, no political in- cident of the modern history of France has as many curious phases as the movement to restore the Count de Chambord. It is our custom to believe, or at least to say, that we are enlightened men, living in an age of light. And yet, in the brilliant civilization of France, we see it possible for a narrow- minded, respectable, ecclesiastical gentle- man—‘‘a slow-witted, brooding man,’’ in the middle age of life—to demand that France shall come to his feet and accept her freedom and her honor from him as gifts. Because he happened to find his being in the loins of a prince who died centuries ago he claims that France shall go with him back to the medisval times, and, in giving him an absolute throne, give him also the power to restore the Pope to his dominions; to increase the prerogatives to overthrow the Spanish Republic, and, above all, to take down and furl away the flag of Valmy and Marengo and Wagram—the flag which French valor carried into nearly overy European capital—qnd in its place unfurl the er of the Middle Agos, which has no meaning to modern France, and typi- fies alone the misfortunes and crimes of the later Bourbon kings. Nothing in the mock- ery of Rabelais or Voltaire or Swift is s0 amus- ing as the situation of the Count de Chambord and the French nation. And yet this is not the fancy of the satirist, but the actual state of France at this hour. As if to add to the wonder, there are many contingencies less possible than that France will take this nar- row-minded, pure-souled enthusiast at his word, and make him her absolute, gracious King. As our correspondent, with great dis- cernment shows, the French are apt to yield to surprises, They are nervous and sensitive, and have a hysterical, passionate desire for a stable government—to ‘bring back,” in our correspondents words, “the peace and se- of Catholicism in France ; to aid Don Carlos | curity, the splendor and prestige, which are as the bread of life to Frenchmen, and appear inseparable from a monarchy.” We do not surrender our freqnontly ex- pressed conviction that any government in France but that of a republic must of neces- sity be provisional. Count de Chambord may come to the throne in all the majesty of the Middle Ages, He may think that his opinions are incompatible with those of France, and abdicate in favor of his heir, the Count de Paris. Or there may be enough magic in the name of Napoleon and enough tact in the men of the Empire to bring the young Prince to the throne. Any one of these results is possible, and, in the present hysterical condition of France, none more so than the recall of Count de Chambord. It will only postpone, not destroy, the Republic. The war, the Com- mune, Napoleonism, the German occupation, have so much exhausted France that any ruler who will give her peace and satisfy a part of the people will be welcome. Above all, there are no longer dynasties in France—only parties, There is no supreme house, at its head a God-given king, and representing the traditions of the nation. Each dynasty is only a party, and the effect of the most recent events is to make each one more and more republican; so that the change from Bourbon to Orleans, and from Bona- parte to Bourbon back again, is little more than the changes from whig to democrat and from democrat to republican which are geen in our own country. We have seen also that this transfer of power from one section of citizens to another has been wise. New men bring new ideas to power, and the dignities of office in time are shared by all parties. We shall probably see the same result in France. Whether Bourbons, Bonapartists or Orieanists, it will be Frenchmen governing France all the time, and all alike sharing in its dignities and glories. In the fulness of time the dynasties will lose their meaning ; their pretensions will become traditions. Instead of monarchical contests we shall have genuine party rivalries; the monarchy will linger only asa name, and France, greater than any crown or king— France herself, as a republic—will be served by all her sons, haying learned that patriotism has no higher form than republicanism, and that too often loyalty to a king means dis- loyalty to freedom and the nation. The Fever at Memphis and the Ap- proaching Frost. Yesterday’s weather reports brought the good tidings of severe cold in the Northwest, and if, as seems likely, it extends southward, it promises early and effectual relief for fever- scourged Memphis. The very remarkable and widespread area of low temperature in the region named, with the thermometer reading congiderably below freezing, inspires the hope that the Frost King will to-day visit the whole Central Mississippi Valley. If this proves to be the a8 we suggest, the reign of the deadly pestilence must be speedily under- mined, and a brighter day will to-morrow dawn on Memphis and her neighbor cities. The prevalence of such cold northwesterly winds through the country north of Arkansas and Tennessee may be almost said to insure such ao result. The relief, however, will be felt slowly, and when it comes will find a people fearfully stricken and desolated by the plague, and the survivors exhausted by pro- tracted panic and toil. The cry for help— pecuniary help—must reach every heart in every corner of the Union, and we earnestly trust it may be responded to in the most gen- erous manner. Let our Christianity show what it is by meeting the dreadful emergency in our sister city. Tne Hoty Farner anp THE CxuRrcH.— Recent reports from Rome assure us that the Holy Father has somewhat recovered from his indisposition and that he is able to receive visitors. On Saturday last a delegation waited upon him, and, in his reply to their address of sympathy and devotion, His Holiness said ; that, “humanly speaking, the triumph of the cause of the Church was very distant.’’ These are, considering their source, words of great humiliation. They seem to imply that, after scanning the situation all around and with great care, the venerable Pontiff does not feel satisfied that there is any immediate prospect, so far as human intention and human means are concerned, of the deliverance of the Roman See from its present troubles, There is more truth and wisdom in these sentiments than in all the blustering talk of Spanish Carlists or French legitimists. The Holy Father has admitted a truth which many devout Roman- ists are slow to acknowledge—that the aggres- sive forces of the age are not altogether in sympathy with Rome. Mysterious, however, are the ways of Providence, and the tide may turn in favor of the Church, as it has often turned before. Tae Incezase rm THe Crry Dzpt.—Ac- cording to the Comptroller's figuring the increase in the city debt since January 1 last, or in nine months, is within a fraction of twenty million dollars. There is reason to believe that this statement does not show the real indebtedness of the city. It is said that there are claims against the Treasury, laid aside by the Comptroller and not taken into account, amounting to several million dollars, and these should be added to our indebtedness, for they are not the old fraudulent claims, but debts which must eventually be paid with in- terest and probably with costa. The Commis- sioners of Accounts shonld satisfy the people on this point, and should scrutinize the Comptroller's books in order to ascertain, if possible, whether the other items of indebt- edness are correctly stated. But even from this partial exhibit we find that our city debt has increased in ning months twenty millior Pa a pg mtg and this is not very creditable to the charac- fer of a “reformed’’ city government. A Neat Brr or Stratray,—Major Graham, late of the United States Army, having turned brigand, and having attempted the highway robbery of an army paymaster, and having been riddled with bullets in the attempt, and carried off to a hospital at Denver, and learn- ing there one day that next week he was to be taken to the County Jail, contrived to get the information to his friends, and 80 one even- ing @ half dozen solitary horsemen pur- rounded the hospital, took possession, carried out their man, put him in a wagon and dis. appeared in the shadows of the Rocky Moun- tains. Moral—A regular soldier knows when and how to rotroat, OCTOBER 7, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. Ex.President Johnson and His Sixty Thousand. It appears to be established as a fact that in the suspended First National Bank of Wash- ington (the QOooke's) ex-President Johnson had a deposit of sixty thousand dollars, the bulk of his savings of many years. It is re- ported that next week he will visit Washing- ton upon this business, but we fear that the journey will be profitless, beyond the infor- mation that in common with tho other de- positors he must await the settlement of the affairs of the bank, Should his deposit prove a serious loss surely some of the many friends enriched in the day of his power through his official favors will remember him and come to his rescue. Doubtless with tho meeting and organization of the now Congress there will be an investigation ordered into the late financial relations of Jay Cooke & Company with the government, and how far the government may be held responsible by Cooke & Co.’s unlucky depositors will probably be made o duty of the committee. In this view there may be stilla hope for Mr. Johnson, Otherwise he must resign himself, we fear, to the idea that his aforesaid unfortunate deposit is ‘gone where the woodbine twinoth."’ The Farmers’ Movement—How it Is Progressing. Let the politicians say what they please about it, the farmers’ movement is going ahead like a prairie on fire out Wost, whether the organizations in the Exst be shams or not. Several representative Missouri papers at hand speak the sentiment of that region. One says:—The nocessity for that reform in political admiuistration which tho united effort of the farmors of the country, especially of the West, can alone obtain is so urgent that it cannot fail to be recognized by evon the most superficial.’ Another—‘“This movement of the agricultural interests of the country has not commenced a bit too soon, and, however modest and timid may be their first action, they will soon find themselves caught up in the whirling tide of State and national poli- tics, and will be compelled, whether they wish it or not, to consider all the grave problems now before the country.” Still another— “The farmers’ war, as it is sometimes called, is destined to havea great political influence.” A Nebraska paper asserts that the grangers are making rapid progress in that State. Common cause is there taken with the farmers of Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota and other States on all questions affecting the farmers’ interests. Another Western paper declares that “the whole race of dishonest politicians stands in awe of this great move- ment,’’ which is no doubt the truth A St. Paul paper says it now looks as if the ‘potato bugs’’ (grangers) will prove a lively crowd in Minnesota. An Illinois paper declares ‘‘the movement to be an independent one, commit- ted to no one and to po party, but commend. ing itself to all” ‘The Catholig farmers of Olmstead county, Minnesota, although not members of the Order of the Patrons of Hus- bandry, express themselves warmly in favor of its principles, excepting its secrecy. In short, there seems to be a general stampede out West in favor of the movement, regardless of religious predilections or previous political affiliations, Toe Exammation or THE BuppinaTon Parry promises to be more interesting than that of Tyson and his heroes of the ice floe, The death of Captain Hall and the alleged in- subordination on board the Polaris while she was heading toward the North Pole will form the chief points of interrogation by Secretary Robeson and his court of scientists from the Navy Department. As will be seen by our special despatches from Washington to-day Professor Henry scouts the idea that Dr. Bessel ever dreamed of taking any foul advan- tage of Captain Hall, althongh not a believer in the enthusiastic commander. Again Com- modore Reynolds repeats his questioning of Tyson at the former examination, and believes that the charges alleged against Buddington by him were simply the results of an over- excited imagination. Whether the separation was intentional or accidental there appears to be much in this regard for Buddington to explain. Tue Kerszy Ixramy.—The farce of the Kelsey investigation goeson. The witnesses who were examined yesterday went through the process of prevarication and evasion now so familiar to the public. Mrs. Oakley, Dr. Banks anda brother of Royal Sammis were on the stand, but nothing material was elicited. This disgraceful sham of an investigation should be brought to a close, and all the par- ties implicated in the alleged crime should be put under arrest and held for trial. There is enough circumstantial evidence to warrant criminal proceedings, and itis as idle as it is disgraceful to prolong the Pema farce, Tarr An# Yo Sez rae Insrrrvnions.—Ii deference to a message on the subject from Mayor Havemoyer our Board of Aldermen have invited the delegates to the Evangelical Alliance to visit our public institutions. All right ; but ‘how the old time comes back” with this announcement, when every distinguished stranger and body of strangers were taken round the circle of our institutions, and when, in every case, the little bills for carriage hire were positively sublime! But that was before the epoch of city reform. Tuunpen Suowers mm Ocrozer, in theso northern latitudes, are held by many old- fashioned weathor philosophers as a sign of a warm sutamn and a mild winter. If these old-line weather prophets are correct in this matter, then, in the thunder shower which passed over this city yesterday afternoon, we had a good sign and 9 cheering promise for the pitt of our groat cities especially, which we hope may be fulfilled. MISS MINK ON TRIAL FOR MURDER. ROCKLAND, Meé., Oct. 6, 1873, The trial of Lucy M. Mink for the murder of Dr. Payton K. Baker was begun here to-day, Miss Mink was brought into Court at ten o’clock, but, as all the extra Jurors who were summoned had not appeared at eleven A.

Is the barbarous practice of corporeal punishment still in vogue in the “Land of Steady Habits?” No won- der “Little Delaware” glories in her whipping post, The Chicago Times states that Joseph F.

Shortly after the recent illness of John Hickman Washington Townsend called on him, and, wishing to encourage him, remarked:—“Well, Hickman, I can’t see that your appearance need trouble you.” “No, Townsend,” replied the invalid, “it doesn’t; it is my disappearance that troubles me," $250,000 Paid for the Residence of thé Late Peruvian Minister Barreda— Wrecking the Schooner Joseph Baxe ter—The Late Rear Admiral Winslow, Newport, R.

BRADLAUGH ON IRELAND. “The Englishma: View of the irisk Question”—Eng Denounced for Tyranny—What Boglishmen and Irish: men Can Gain by Compining To gether Against Oppression, Mr. Bradiaugh lectured last evening at Stetm Way Hall, the subject being “The Kngtishman’t View of the Iris Question.” Owing to the rats storm the hali was but only about one-third occu pied. The speaker, on appearing on the staga was quite warmly received, He began by sayin; that Mr. Stuart Mill, ina treatise on Ireland, hi remarked that once at least in every generation the question what ts to be done for or with Ireland was made @ part of the councils of the Britis! government, As for himseli he did not propose tt put the Irish question in that way. He woult simply ask what can Irishmen do for Ireland! What ought Englishmen do for ber? In the lan guage o! Charles James Fox, he would ask, had Eng land the right to rale Ireland, if she can’t do tt by other means than by force. Fox said if she could nol be ruled by affection she had no right to hold het by force, This was Bradlaugh’s view of the gues tion, and his opinion was that Ireland was deserw ing of the sympathy of the world, No one coulé doubt the exercise of the serflaw tn Ireland wht had ever travelled through that unfortunate coun try. Englaud had done all she could to prevent Irishmen in Ireland from following any mechanica pursuit, any trade requiring skilled handiwork. was true the laws which made this stat of things possible had been repealed, but the habit of lie engendered by these laws remain. They were made to crush out every hope of cempetitic with the English tradesmen. And in the face all this there were men who sneered and talke¢ about the want of industry of the Irisn peopie The tools were taken from them, the itactori closed and then the poor people were pointed as those with whom thriit never could find at abiding piace, The speaker touched upon TAR LAND QUESTION. He spote of the confiscations aud the a dispossessing tenants which has prevailed, He an gued that frechold rights were rights that ough Rot to be maintained as against flesh and bloo¢ rights. Whenever freehold rights endangerea tht welfare of the people at latge he believed tho; should go to the wall. He next spoke of Mr Gladstone’s efforts in behalf of Ireland He acknowledged that Gladstone had don much for the Irish tenant, but that ht ought to have done what had been done tn Prussis and even Russia—given the tenant a chance ta own the land he tilled. . ‘This he had not done, an in point of fact, with all the taik about Gladstone’ etforts for Ireland’s tenaats. they were, to-day; worse off than the serfs in Russia. He said thal the razing the houses in the past, the outrage ing of women and the murders done by THE BRITISH SOLDIEKY, in what was called tue enforcement of the lawa called loudiy for revenge, and had he been an Irish man and lived when these things were done ht would have preached rebellion froin one end oi the land to the other. He, for one, did not agree witl Daniel O’Connel! that dtherky, was not worth spile ing blood for. He believed that any people ought to rise up and figit and spill the last drop of th hearts’ blood of those who dared to take away frou them any of their liberties, He, as at Englishman, was opposed to separating Ireiani from England; sor “nglund would not be strony enough without Ireland, The one he believed t¢ be indispensabie to the other. He wanted to havi HOME RULE FOR IRELAND, but what he wanted also was jor the Irish peopl andthe English people to work in harmony tor ¢ common cause, The day was not far distant, hd believed, When the very liberties Ireland stoo¢ in need of, and the liberty the Engltal people were seeking would be obtain ed. The work belore the two peoples was the same. To win the battie the two must bt one in heart, and by working together success wat sure, The speaker closed with an earnest exhorta tion for Irisnmen and Englishmen to make commos cause against a common ioe—the laws whose ew forcement oppresses anQ makes slaves of thost who should be free men.
