Wat Srreet Yesrerpay.—The speculation on the Stock Exchange yesterday was very ani- mated, and, asa rule, a better tone prevailed. The coal stock continued steadier, and there ‘was an improvement inthe trunk lines. Gold declined from 105 to 104%. Government stocks were steady and fairly active, while rail- road bonds were irregular. Money loaned at 21g early in the day, advanced to 5, and closed at 4 per cent on call.

Figures seem to be as profitable as they are truthful. Among the disbursements on account of the Ring suits the largest payment was that made to the accountant who cxamined the city’s books, &c. The whole list of disbursements in these suits is full of curious information upon the expense of getting une’s own after going to law about it. It Is Not StranGet that the Juvenile Guardian Society objected to having its affairs made public by the Examining Committee of the State Board of Charities. The statements contained in the examiners’ affidavit and offered in court yest day constitute one of the severest blows ever dealt at organized charities, and the cruel part of it is that the real sufferers by the disgrace of the society will be the suffering poor. paises pus | THe WeatuEr.—The centre of the depression passed over this city and vicinity last evening, with a considerable barometric rise and a conse- «quent decrease in the wind force. A process of equalization seems to have gone on between this depression and the high area to the north- eastward of it, by which the one was filled “ap and the other dissipated. The rain area yes- | terday mornirtg was very extensive, and em- | braced all the territory castward of a line drttwn from Erie to New Orleans. “Toward evening this area contracted, and soon wus lim- | - jted to the coast and the British provinces, a sharp “‘norther” prevailed at Indianola and a at North Platte. The first was due to the ‘ of a high area following the depression, + and the second to an advancing low barometer from the northwest.

All’s well that ends well, and we welcome most heartily the news that South Carolina is to-morrow or next day to be relegated to local self-government. The Hznaxp, as our readers know, opposed the President's policy of delay; we doubted its wisdom and we dreaded its dangers—less trom dis- turbances in the South than from the gathering storm of the extreme republican politicians in the North, We thought that the President would have been wise to have withdrawn the troops in both the States as soon as he entered the White House and while the country was still in its first burst of enthusiasm over the new policy an- nounced in the inaugural Message. It is but fair fo say, however, that the President's friends urge some strong rea- sons in favor of the delay. They say for him that the withdrawal of the troops is only the first, though of course the most important, step in the new Southern policy: that a thorough reformation of the federal civil service in the Southern States is yet to follow—an undertaking which re- quires a good deal of time and effort; that the President was naturally anxious that his first step should not miscarry, be- cause this would involve failure of all the rest, and that he thought it necessary to make quite sure that peace, order and equal rights would be maintained in South Caro- lina before he proceeded to withdraw the troops. They add further, that he had a strong desire to bring about an amicable and cheerful surrender by Chamberlain, so that the important change should produce general harmony, instead of leaving the defeated party in a state of exasperation. We frankly acknowledge that there is strength in all these reasons, and if all now goes well we shall be the first to praise the politic wisdom of the President, the more as he has undoubtedly sacrificed some of his own personal popularity by his delay. Itis not to be expected that he will publicly give the reasons which have moved him to his course, but he would very greatly please the public and setat rest many doubts which have sprung up by reason of the unexpected delay if, when he orders the withdrawal of the troops from the State House at Colum- bia, he would tell the country briefly that he had always intended so to do, and that his delay was not caused by hesitation as to the proper course, but by a strong desire to make the step safely for all concerned. Such an announcement would renew the enthusiastic confidence which greeted the inaugural Message, and he could make it, not only without impropriety, but with great advantage to the country., There has been a suspicion—unhfounded, we believe— that he hesitated because the pressure of the extreme republican politicians made him uneasy by their attitude. The country would rejoice to know that he was never moved by such fears. We count it a decided advantage for the cause of peace and equal rights in South Carolina, and for the good of the country at large, that the President and Governor Hampton have seen each other face to face. Our correspondents report, what we should atany rate have expected, that they liked each other, and no doubt they parted with a mutual good understanding. Governor Hampton is said to have given to the Presi- dent a frank, cOrdial and complete assur- ance that he would protect equally the rights ofall men in his State, and would punish promptly and rigorously any attempts of lawless persons against colored people. We have no doubt that he will fulfil this pledge. He is a strong man, a man of great influence in the State, and the best public opinion will back him up in all measures, however severe, which he may find neces- sary to repress and punish lawlessness, if such should occur. He will be conscious that the eyes of the country are fixed upon him and upon the State. A large and influ- ential part of the republican politicians have no faith in the President's Southern policy, and would be secretly pleased to see it fail. They would very quickly raise a storm of prejudice against the President and the South if they could have the chance to prove that in South Carolina, under Hamp- ton, colored men fell short of their rights. We do not fear anything of the kind; but we warn the people of that State to be on their guard, and to regard as their worst enemy any man who harms or wrongs a col- ored man. When Governor Garland took possession of Arkansas, in 1875, under cir- cumstances similar to those under which Governor Hampton will to-morrow take pos- session, one of the first incidents reported to him was an attempt by a lawless vagabond to wantonly kill a traveller on a railroad train. The white people of the county in which this happened turned out en masseand at once, at the call of a colored sheriff, to catch the assassin. He escaped into Louisi- ana, but Garland promptly pursued, and caught him. The firm and prompt attitude of the Governor struck terror into the law- less all over the State and encouraged the good citizens, and Arkansas has been as peaceful as Ohio ever since and far more peaceable than Pennsylvania. We commend this example to the Governor and people of South Carolina. We understand that Mr. Chamberlain re- turns to Columbia, and we trust it is his purpose to frankly abandon his pretensions. In doing so, if he is as able a man as his | friends claim, we shall expect him to ad- monish his followers to accept defeat cheer- fully, and to turn themselves in good faith and at once to efforts to revive the indus- tries and the prosperity of the State. Chamberlain is sti!] » young man, and such a course will win him sympathy and good will, If, on the contrary, he should let his disappointment sour him, and should show by his conduct that his private griefs were more to him than the good of the State, he would justly earn the condemnation and contempt of the whole country, The Northern people will not tolerate any resist- ance down there by the defeated party, and we warn Mr. Chamberlain and his ad- herents that they can do nothing so unwise as to stir up disaffection or trouble among the ignorant negroes, whom they have too | long misled. The moral effect of this order ought to be great in the State still under considera- tion—Lonisiana, It removes all question of the President's sincerity or steadiness, and shows how unjust to him werq the mis- givings caused by his p i He has set the seal of official action to the policy declared in the inaugural \address. Retreat is impossible now. Packafd onght to learn something from the experience of Chamberlain. ‘The President's deliberate slowness, by which they were both so much encouraged, will prove to be as frail a reli- ance in the other case as in the one which has been decided. Packard, who is intelli- gent and shrewd, will now see where he stands. He can no longer expect to be sus- tained by federal troops. He has lived too long in Louisiana and understands the State too well to believe that his government can stand a week after the troops are withdrawn. The period occupied by the President's committee will afford him time for cool re- flection. A sense of the utter hopelessness of his case will probably lead him to submit to the inevitable. An Interview with Wendell Phillips. The lovers of lively reading will find something decidedly ‘‘breezy” in the report given by our Boston correspondent of a re- markable conversation with Wendell Phil- lips. - His recent lecture in Philadelphia was tart enough, but it falls short of the in- terview as vinegar does of vitriol. Mr. Phillips seems to have been stung into rage by the newspaper comments on his vituperative lecture. In this fresh philippic the champion termagant of the century out-Phillips himself. We suspect that the reason why he is so beside himself in this strange interview is that his conscience convicts him of wild injustice to Mr. Devens and President Hayes, and that the criticisms of the press, which he so furiously resents and repels, touched him ona sore spot. Why should this aged orator forget the respect he owes to his own gray hairs and his brilliant in- tellectual gifts and make an exhibition of himself as a mental epileptic? If he had made a personal appearance in public foam- ing at the mouth, gnashing his teeth and dashing his head against lampposts and curbstones every friend he has in the world would lament the physical malady which deprived him of self-control. A kindred moral and intellectual malady makes him an object of more melancholy pity. Mr. Phillips raves’ like a madman. When a brilliant man becomes a lunatic the vagaries of his disordered intellect may be amusing by their cleverness, but it is only the heartless or the thoughtless that can de- rive any pleasure from its erratic sallies, “Now this, though it may make the un- skilful laugh, cannot but make the ju- dicious grieve, the censure of one which must o’erweigh a whole theatre of others.” The obrilliancy of Mr. Phillips as an orator has always extorted the admiration of many who have no sympathy with his sentiments. His most determined opponents have found his speeches an intellectual repast, but we ven- ture to suggest to him that he is now going beyond the limits of courteous in- dulgence. A court fool, with his cap and bells, his licensed tongue and satirical gibes, his pungent wit and freedom to lam- poon his betters, is tolerable only while he has the grace of youth. When an old man, whose years should render him venerable, plays such tricks he afflicts us with a pain- ful sense of incongruity between his abusive sallies and the wise moderation and mellow tolerance which would better suit with his age. It seems too much like a withered and superannuated spinster affecting the hoy- denish airs of a girl still in her teens. It would be a waste of logic to undertake aserious refutation of Mr. Phillips’ intem- perate tirade against Attorney General Devens and against President Hayes and the other members of his Cabinet. Mr. Devens fought in a cause for which Mr. Phillips only spouted. Mr. Hayes is recciving the hearty approval of at least seven-tenths of his coun- trymen for pursuing the policy which Mr. Phillips denounces. Mr. Phillips’ crazy ob- jurgations amuse the public for a day, but the wise and sagacious policy of President Hayes which causes this outpouring of venom will be approved by posterity when the name of Wendell Phillips is forgotten. Dogs in Harness. In a short communication from Mr, Henry Bergh, which will be found elsewhere, there are several points that need explanation. It is said that the man who was the yoke- fellow of the dog was arrested by ‘‘a person unknown to and acting without the au- thority of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.” By what au- thority, then, did that person act? Mr. Bergh further says, “It is evident that race of animals (the dogs) was not de- signed as beasts of burden.” If the gentle- man has any evidence on this point it is his exclusive property, and he must possess it in virtue of some confidential relations with the powers that planned the creation. In the light of his special knowledge on this subject what is his opinion of the Esqui- maux dog, that stands to a whole race of human creatures precisely as the horse does to us? Moreover, what is the evidence that an animal is designed asa beast of burden unless it be his possession of the necessary strength of muscle and his adaptability to the labor; and are not these as plain in their degree in the dog as they are in the horse or ox? In this case Mr. Bergh simply reasons from his own foregone conclusions and narrow views, in which there would be no harm if it was merely his character for wisdom thut was at stake; but it becomes very mis- chievous when on such erroneous views of the relation of man to the animals proceed- ings are initiated that involve the rights and liberties of persons» Hereupon Mr. Bergh intones a sermon in regard to the cause of his society as one ‘‘based upon the best in- stincts of our nature.” That position we deny. His society is not ‘‘based upon the best instincts,” &c.; it is based upon a mor- bid development of emotional sensibility; it is the result of a kind of emotional insanity, Instead of being based upon the best instincts of our nature, it is based upon a perversion of those instincts by which the kindly sen- timents which should be directed toward a | fellow man are turned to some one of -the lower animais, Nearly all men famous for fiendish cruelty toward other men have been justas famous for their “tender hearts” toward their pet animals, Y, APRIL 3, 1877.—TRIPLE SHEET, Insidious Opposition to Rapid Tran- sit. There is pénding in the Assembly a bill, introduced, we regret to say, by a New York city member from whom better things were expected, which, under a mask of zeal for private rights, aims a deadly stab at rapid transit. Members from this city who act in such obvious complicity with the horse car companies ought to be well paid by their clients for forfeiting the confidence of their constituents. Certain it is that no member from this city who, eitber openly or covertly, obstructs rapid transit will ever again be put by New York votes in a posi- tion to abuse a public trust. The foes of rapid transit in this city are only a few hundreds; its zealous friends are numbered by hundreds of thousands. The hundreds may be rich enough to buy recreant Assem- blymen, but the hundreds of thousands possess votes enough to prevent the re-elec- tion of any man who is false to their inter- ests, They might perhaps be deceived if the press were not so vigilant; but the sleepless press of this city is nearly unan- imous in support of rapid transit, and is spotting every man in the Legis- lature who cares more for the horse car companies than for his constitu- ents. If any such man should hereafter be a candidate for re-election to the Legisla- ture or for any other office the press will put his conduct in such a light that voters will repudiate and humiliate him. We accord a space for repentance to members who have acted well in other respects; but we warn them that they need expect no indulgence if they persist in the bad course on which they have entered. Of course, nobody contests the principle that when private property is taken for a public use its owners are entitled to com- pensation. But this principle must be taken in its ordinary and just sense. The streets of this city are not private but public property. When public property is applied to a new public use not inconsistent with, but in pursuance of, its original des- tination, it is absurd to raise the question of compensation. The streets belong to the public ; they are devoted tothe convenience of travel ; they are not diverted from their proper use by making them the medium of additional facilities for transit. But it is pretended that steam railroads in the streets are an injury to the property which fronts on such streets. This idea would not have occurred to the property owners if it had not been drilled into them by the agents of the horse car companies. Steam railroads are in truth no more an injury than the horse railroads. They injure property for some uses, but greatly enhance its value for other uses. People who are at all fastidious or love quiet do not prefer to reside on a street which is sub- ject to the perpetual noise of a horse rail- road. But, on the other hand, the occupants of stores select such streets by choice. A business location is valuable in proportion to the number of people who pass. The whole route of the Third Avenue Railroad from the City Hall to Harlem Bridge is a continuous line of stores, and the same is true of the Sixth, Eighth and Ninth avenue routes upto Central Park. The rents received for such property is altogether higher than it could be for mere residences. Rapid tran- sit will cause still greater multitudes to throng, during all hours of the day, through the streets and avenues which have this ad- vantage, thereby adding to the value of property for business purposes. At present the ground floors on the avennes are occu- pied as stores and the higher floors as tene- ments. With rapid transit the second stories will be deserted as tenements and oc- cupied as stores, to the great advantage of the owners. No family wishes the passen- gers on an elevated road to be constantly peering into their windows, but shop- keepers court what is so annoying to fami- lies. The stories on the avenues which are on the same level with tho rapid transit cars will be filled with goods offered for sale, and the attention of passengers will be solicited by showy displays in the windows, As the horse cars have trebled the rent of the ground floors by converting them into shops, so the elevated roads will do the same service for the next floors above. The private families will be driven out, involv- ing some loss of rent during the transition period, and their places will bo taken by a more profitable class of trading tenants. Ther ultimate effect on property will be highly beneficial. The interests of its own- ers are not identical with those of the horse car companies, but with the success of rapid transit. It is always difficult to credit the actual occurrence of an event which, having been often chronicled, has as often failed to hap- pen. Prince Bismarck’s “forthcoming re- tiremont from public life” has been several times announced in various forms, but at the last inoment the Prince's ‘‘inflexible” purpose has always seemed to give way on this head, and he has not troubled the Em- peror to appoint his successor. It was the same way with Thiers, who, while President of the French Kepublic, threatened to resign about oncea week, and was finally horrified when the Chamber turned him out, But there appears reason to believe that finally the Prince has so positively deter- mined to have rest and quiet, and perhaps to sulk at Varzin, that he will not forego his intention on any account. It appears even that the case is so bad between him and the Emperor that the usual imperial request for the Prince to withdraw his proffered resignation has this time been made by the Crown Prince and not by the Emperor himself. It is believed that the immediate course of events in the Von Stosch incident. One day the Prince said in the Parliament that the imperial Ministers did not lighten his ease of Von Stosch, Chief of the Admiralty, who refused to reduce the estimates at the Chancellor's request, and forced upon him an arduous correspondence, but reduced the same estimates almost without objection when they were challenged by the liberals in Parliament. Thus called by name, Von not accepted. Emperor William became a peacemaker, but seems to have found the Prince obstinate, and the Prince seems to provocation for the Prince’s act is the | labors as they should, and he instanced the | Stosch proffered his resignation, which was | have been greatly dissatisfied that the Em- peror did not support him entirely. In our despatches will be found the names of the nubodies who are to “fill” Bismarck's place ; but the times are stormy in Europe, | and it is very possible that, with his em- pire shaky under his feet, the Emperor may presently wish he had given up all the Von Stosches in Germany rather than his great Chancellor. England and Russia. Six of the European Powers have signed “a protocol which does not bind any Power to do anything in particular,” and the in- terpretations of the possible consequences vary greatly. One authority is of opinion that inasmuch as this document implies that Russia will disarm if Turkey does certain acts, there is involved in this the counter implication that if Turkey fails to do these acts then Russia will not only be absolved from her engagement to disarm, but will, by recognition of the pro- tocol, be authorized to coerce Turkey. There is but one point upon which all agree in re- gard to the effect of the protocol, and this is that it does not greatly improve the pros- pects of peace. ‘Were Russia really anxious for war some weeks or months hence,” says the London Times, ‘she would not be barred by anything in the protocol. The value of the protocol depends on the disposition of Russia herself.” By insinuations of this nature, put forth in advance of the time, it seems to be the cue of the English news- papers to throw upon Russia the responsi- bility for the apparently inevitable failure of the conditions of the protocol. Here isa document signed by the six Powers which isto have no binding force till Russia dis- arms : but Russia will not disarm till three things happen. First—Turkey must make peace with Montenegro ; and Turkish obstinacy as well as international com- plications seem to oppose insuperable obstacles to that peace. Second—Turkey must show some disposition to en- force reforms in the government of her Christian subjects. Third—Turkey must initiate disarmament. It is in the highest degree unlikely that any one of these things will be done, therefore the conditions of Russia’s disarmament will not be fulfilled ; Russia wili not disarm ; the protocol will be waste paper, and the English newspapers will shout over the bad faith of Russia. But the tact will be all the time simply that England required of the other Powers an agreement that implied faith in Turkey's pledges, which agreement was, therefore, foredoomed to fail.

GERMANY AND BISMARCK. The Chancellor Tenders His Resignation Azein, bat Gets a’ Year's Suspension. SMASHED AGAINST STOSCH, Dangers of a New Hand at the Head of the Empire THE ENGLISH SIGNATURE. Peace Not So Probable as the Protocol Promised. [BY caBLE TO THE RERALD.] Lonpon, Aprii 3, 1877. Ali day long the metropolis has been full of rumor regarding the dissensions in the German Cabinet. Late in the evening the rather indefinite informa- tion that Prince Bismarck had taken a long vaca- ton was published. The HERALD’s correspondent in the German capital wires information which, when made public in London to-day, will produce a profound sensation. Berlin is wild with rumor. ‘The clubs, cafés and hotels on Unter den Linden are scenes of mad dispute. All the usual sources of information fatied to establish anything more than that a grave crisis had arisen in the Cabinet. Many persons declared that the Emperor had rebuked Bismarck; others that the Chancellor had merely taken a vacation for his health. After the most rigid investigation the true version is be- Neved to be as follows:— EFFORTS TO OUST STOSCH. Prince Bismarck sent, to the Emperor on Friday a request that the adjustment of the differences between him and the Chie! of the Admiralty, Gen- eral Stosch—which His Majesty had hoped to bring about—having failed, tt became imperative that the resignation of one or the other must necessarily follow. This was, it is unnecessary to explain, intended to imply a request for the re- moval of General Stosch. The Emperor immedi- ately acknowledged the receipt of the communica- uon from the Prince Chancellor, but up to yester- day morning took no action. The desires of the Prince iu regard to the quarrel about the estimates were perfectly understood by the Emperor. THE SAME OLD GAME. ‘The climax came at noon on yesterday, when the Prince sent his resignation of the Chanceliorship o.’ the Empire to William I. Tne act ts declared to have been a great surprise to His Maj- esty. The Crown Prince and the Chancellor were summoned, The resignation was declined by the Emperor; but it was only after considorable efforts on bis part thatthe Crown Prince Frederick William succeeded in obtaining Bismarck’s temporary withdrawal of the resignation and that the Prince was indlaced to consent to a year’s leave of absence. It is not known whetber the result was otherwise satis- jactory to Prince Bismarck or not. WHO SUCCEED HIM, Baron Camphausen, Vico President of the Prussian Ministry, temporarily replaces Bismarck as Chancellor, Baron Von Biilow, Prasstan Secretary of State, directs the Foreign Affairs, Thus, at least, two men are required to even wuominally supply Bismarck’s place.
