It is true that England’s responsibility for the welfare of countries subject to her dominion sits lightly enough on her conscience. Millions aig , may starve in the terrible famines of India which could be in great degree prevented if the revennes of the country were properly expended on public works and not diverted to swell the enormous wealth of England; yet the starvation of those millions dis- tresses England only in its humanitarian aspect, as it distresses human creatures in any other. civilized country. Yet she.has in material respects a responsibility for India and for Australia and for Canada, and it is not always in proportion to the ad- yantage she derives from her relation to those countries, She has duties often more than equivalent to her rights. But in Egypt she is under neither moral nor material ob- ligation. For the shortcomings, the follies or the crimes of government there the world may point its finger at Cairo or at Con- stantinople, but not at London, An insur- rectidn might rage to any extent short of general ruin and England could not be called upon to give a cartridge to suppress it, while if the Nile should spread devasta- tion instead of iertilit¢ she might only write it down in her accounts as a bad year for interest payments. Yet England, thus absolved from all hold on one side, holds Egypt on the other as completely tied to her by her pursestrings as any metvopoli- tan Power ever held its provinces. This anomalous relation is made strik- ingly apparent in the changes in his ad- ministration that England has recently compelled the Khedive to necept. She has practised upon him a sort of politico-finan- cial foreclosure. She has reduced him ata stroke from the condition of an Oriental | despot, absolute within the capricious con- tro! of the Sultan, toa quasi constitutional ruler—a prince dependent upon the favor ot Wr money magnates for the retention of his sovereign attributes. In all the rev- olutions that abound in Egyptian history there has been none completed with so lit. AMUSEMENTS _T0-NIGHT, GILMORE’S GARDEN —Tn Thomas’ Coscerts.

But the Khedive has recognized his position in a Parliamentary spirit; and, as it anxious to constitute himself a convert to Western ideas and to assimilate the spirit of his government with those ideas, bas accepted a ministry from the side of the prevalent opinions just as Queen Vic- torin might have done before a change in the Parliamentary majority. He has not only made an Englishmen his financial Min-' | ister, and given him full authority to en- furce principles determined upon in Eng- land, but hé has done this because England and not Egypt or her ruler had coniidence in this Englishman. And for the same rea- son he has put at the head of his govern- ment w'man hitherto an exile, aud has thereby abdicated all that part of his sov- ereign authority that is inconsistent with constitutional government, Egyptian finances have been somewhat of a puzzle hitherto, even to the financial world of Europe that was best acquainted | with them, because it, was apparent that the public expenditures did not account | for the enormous revenue, which yet con- sequently proved insufficient for these ex- penditures.

On this point he was at last compelled to give way, and then the secret came out, Throughout his reign the Khedive had been doing just what Abbas Pacha had also done in his time—acting on asecretive and miserly impulse and put- ting the public money away on private ac- count. Enormous estates had thus been pur- chased with the money that should have paid the expenses of government and pre- vented the accumulation of debt; and while the country publitly regarded had become burdened with extreme obligations the Khedive had become the proprietor of one- sixth of the land in Egypt. Naturally no financial system could ge and no credit could'stand in the tno! ‘Ot ‘such a diverticu- lum, and the financial experts recognized this and declared it, and France joined with England in the agreement thatall that system must come to an end, and that the Khedive must give up his pander. or lose the coun- tenance and support of the Western gov- ernments. In other days the Khedive would not have given up. He would have sent a few millions to Constantinople with the expression of his opinion that these financial infidels of the West were liars and sons of liars, and would have gone on indefinitely in the same groove. But this is a critical time. Tt would be « hard fate to lose the confidence of the Western Powers just now, because, in fact, the coun- tenance of the Sultan is of no great value to anybody ; and a prince in the position of a viceroy in Egypt needs rather the sup- port of others against the Sultan than of the Sultan against the others. London, not Constantinople, is the source of support to him who has become merely the keeper of the locks in the Suez Canal; and the Khe- dive therefore bows to the strange decrees of destiny—hands over his great estates for the benefit of the nation’s creditors, and even surrenders his kingdom as to all money aspects to assignees who have the confi- dence of the creditors, and sits down to watch the edifying spectacle of the pay- ment of his debts. A Royal Seldom has the mysterious and the roe mantic braved the sunlight of our literal age and country as it did yesterday at Day- ton, Ohio, where the gypsy tribes in the United States gathered to bury their queen. ‘The occasion was to many people the first intimation they had ever received that Funeral in America. within our national limits there existed®| a kingdom and a_ royal couple, to whom implicit obedience was rendered by thousands of people acknowledging no other Contrasts and contradictions were strong and peculiar. Ruler only of a band of scattered outcasts, the dead que en and her reyal consort could trace their, lineage farther back into the ages+ than any sovereign of Europe. The iuneral cortége, which civilized people would have invested with many attributes of gloom, seemed to be made almost joyous by. the flowers and gay colors which decorated everything, even the hearse itself. Believers in no re- ligion, unless it be a corrupted fragment of tradition handed down by the priests of ancient Egypt, the gypsy mourners listened respectfully to a funeral ser- vice conducted by a Christian minister, though the words of faith, hope and censo- lation probably never fell upon ears less competent to understand their precious im- port, Yesterday this strange nation within a nation had visible shape ; to-day it wiil disappear so thoroughly that only frag- | ments of it will be perceptible anywhere, and even then be undistinguishable from other unattractive wanderers. Were it not that the obsequies and the mourners were | beheld in broad daylight by thousands of clear-eyed Americans the whole affair would appear like a misty dream of an ancient day and an unknown land. Domestic Tragedies. In the Billings murder case, in the in- vestigation of the death of Mary Stannard, in the case of the murder mystery at Gravesend, we have typical instances of a species of tragedy that has become almost a. common feature of our American life, These are so many terrible dramas of passion, confined generally in their development to the domestic circle or within a narrow sphere beyond it, but within that limit working on day by day and year by year with an ever growing intensity of fierce hates and des- perate impulses that end logically in the last terrible act, which is the first that forces the interference of society. Crimes like this are, paradoxical as it may sound, characteristics of civilization, and are inseparable generally from a certain amount of what is called respectability, and from a | regard for the opinions ot friends and neighbors and a morbid apprehension of scandals, Barbarons men also kill, as well as civilized men, their wives or the women they love, but not in this way. They beat them in savage rage, and sometimes the vio- lence carried too far ends fatally, or they murder them outright before the world in jewlous fury, und the savage society then murders the murderer in precisely the same way. But this horrible family tragedy of the Billings’ is a case of two fierce and bit- ter enomies tied togethér for a lifetime by marriage, and the rights of the woman under the law and before society virtually compelled its continuance. Flagrant out- rage on his. part ‘to fight it out,” as men and women do in the slums and alleys, would have called in the police, which would have been scandalous and horrible ; divorce and alimony would have made a dreadful pull on the keen husband's purse, and hence the continued attempt to keep as fair a surface as possible and plan a secret and desperate solution. In these murders that are reasoned upon for months, per- haps years, before they are committed, there is no doubt that the common miscarriage of justice in murder trials acts as a direct in- centive and encouragement to the criminals, It is commonly said by opponents of capi- tal punishment that the dread of the gal- lows does not prevent murder; but how do they know? But for the gallows every case of assault and battery would be a case _NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY; SEPTEMBER 16, 1878.—TRIPLE SHEET. of murder, perhaps, There might be a hun- dred murder cases where there are now ten, and we believe that crimes like those to whieh we refer would be less common if a man proved a murderer had more reason to dread the gallows than he now has. A Critical Week for Butler. At present and for the next two days every pofitical telescope in the United States will be directed toward General Butler and his transit across the Demo- cratic State Convention of Massachusetts with the same eager alertness with which astronomers watch a transit of Venus. The great Butler transit to-morrow will enable politicians to solve as many interesting problems as astronomers ever solved in their own science by means of a well ob- served transit, But instead of a transit it may prove to be a-total eclipse, as in- structive in its way as the remarkable one which happened this summer, and which, among other interesting results, led to the discovery of a new planet. ‘The affair at Worcester to-morrow is more likely to be a total eclipse than ao transit. The broad disk of Butler, as it passes over the orb of the Massachusetts democracy, may be of sufficient magnitude to cause a total ob- scuration. All the political astronomers are preparing to watch it and compute it and to found calculations on it respecting the orbits of parties. It will serve as a basis for many inferences respecting what is likely to take place between the present time and the great national contest of 1880. Genefal Butler does not intend to leave his democratic friepds to act without his counsel and assistance. He has engaged parlors in the principal hotel at Worcester, which will be the political headquarters of that large proportion of the democratic dele- gates who have been instructed to vote for his nomination as the democratic candidate tor Governor. Whatever else may be said of Butler it cannot. be denied that “he has capacity to inspire. personal de- yotion and enthusiasm, nor that he is gifted in ‘all the arts of manipulating a political assemblage. The chances are that he will outwit and overmatch his old-line democratic opponents. The Executive Committee in the ukase it pro- mulgated from Boston forbidding the ad- mission of Butler delegates to seats in the Convention committed a palpable blunder, which Butler is shrewd enough to turn to his own advantage. Every representative body is the proper judge of the election and qualifications of its members—a princi- ple so ubvious that Butler will have no difficulty in convincing the delegates who have been instructed to vote for him that the Executive Committee has made an un- warranted assault on their rights. From the towns sending Butler men there will be no contesting delegations, aud more than half the democratic constituencies will be | distranchised if the Batler delegates’ ‘tre excluded, making a rump convefition whose authority will be ‘disputed’ * and derided throughout the State. As a matter of practical management fhe State Committee cam shut the doors against the Butler delegates if it chooses to go to that extreme. ‘he State Committee hires the hall and can control its use. It will have the same power over it for the one day of its engagement that its proprietor has on days wpen it is not leased. Itis the usual practice for the State Committed 'to issue tickéts of admission to the delegates, and if the committee refuses tickets to the Butler delegates the latter cannot force their way in any more than they could into another building which they had no legal | claim to occupy. Bat if tickets are refused to the Butler delegates they will assemble in some other place, and may form a larger convention than the body which claims to be regular. The conse- quence would be a unanimous nomination of Butler by a convention of regularly ap- pointed democratic: delegates outuumber- ing those admitted to the hall of the State Committee. The orthodox nominee would be laughed to scorn as a rump candidate, and no democrat would be restrained from voting for Butler by the terrors of party discipline. In such circumstances party discipline would be defied and scorned and the democratic organization be shiversd into fragments—one portion vuting for Batler with enthusiastic zeal and the other portion going straight over into the camp of the républicans. fn that event the Butlor movement will be a total eclipse of the democratie party of Massachusetts. Rising of the Nile, Apparently the meteorological disturb- ances that are so’ widespread on our side the globe this year are severely felt on the other side also, for the continuous reins of which the report comes from Khurtoum, in Africa, and wich seem likely to fill ‘“Afric’s sunny Jountuins” uncomfortably tull must be regarded ds a similar expression of Nature's tendency to an extreme departure from averages, But incessant rains in the Soudan mean in Egypt a rise in the Nile of from six to ten fee: beyond its usual height between the 20th and 30th of September ; and Egypt can stand that even less than we can stand the greater number of the remarkable con- sequences of meteorological derangements we have seen in recent seasons. In most countries in the world farmers and others dependent’ upon the early and the later rains for the fertility of he soil and a good yield of the fields have grumbled from time immemorial at the machinery that Nature had thus pro- vided for their good, and have cavilled that she was niggardly in one year and super- aboundingly, even ruinously, plentiful in another, ‘hey have complained that the mischief caused by a drought was not com. pensated by the flood that came a year later, and the millions dead from famine in Hin- dostan and China in these recent years are evidences in support of that opinion. All the grumblers at Nature's rain system, as found in temperate countries, have been dis- posed to wish that she had supplied the world at large with the scheme and appa- ratus given to Egypt. All Egypt's rain falls in far away countries, wheré it does not hurt any one’s good clothes, and comes down the river conveniently at once, “pooling its issues” oll over Egypt's four thousand square mites of arable land, This system rae asimple and beautiful appear- ance, but it is liable to derangements as ruinous as our own system. Even old Father Nile has his vagaries and comes down from time to time too full, or not full enough. Less than a fair moiety of his years are good ones. In Joseph's time the average was apparently seven good and seven bad; for in Pharaoh’s dream “there came up out of the river seven well favored kine and fat fleshed,” and “seven other kine came up after them out of the rivor ill favored and lean fleshed.” In record of sixty-six inunda- tions in modern times only thirty are classed as good, the others being insufi- cient or excessive. An insufficient inunda- tion isa cause of scarcity and famine, and an excessive one causes such material dam- ages as result in every country from floods in the rivers. It will be especially unfor- tunate for Egypt if a great calamity comes in the very year when promising attempts to reconstruct her financial system are on foot. i A New Spirit in the Vatican. The sagacious ecclesiastics who at present direct the purely worlly or political for- tunes of the Catholic Church in Europe seem likely to regain in » short time all the material advantages which the blundering non-possumus policy of the ultramontane leaders under Pius IX. had lest to it. Those who have carefully watched the cur- rent of religious events on the other conti- nent for the past six months must have seen that anew spirit has descended upon the Vatican, and that Leo and his ministers are skilfully handling the silken threads of diplomacy. Germany and Rome are closer to-day than they have been at any time in the last ten years. Bismarck is not anwilling to court the alliance of the Church against the socialists, nor is the Church unwilling to withhold the awful thunders in her ecole-. siastical arsenal which he is so anxious to harl at the would-be king slayers of the Empire. In the extreme North the Pope of the Greek Church sends the most loving greeting to his brother in Rome, and both are quietly arranging fora religious parti- tion of Poland. Our cable despatches this morning show how Swiss Calvinism is melt- ing in the soft religious sunshine that streams from the seven-hilled city, and, as described by our correspondent yesterday, the funeral pageant of Thiers in the splen- did Cathedral of Notre Dame was really the bridal ceremony of the young Republic with the political power of the Papacy. It is sweet fo see so many religious and political brethren beginning to dwell together in peace, Another Battle Questioned. General Grant’s destruction of the ro- mance of the ‘Battle in the Clouds” ‘is fol- lowed by a denial.on the part of a number of witnesses in the Fitz John Porter case ofthe correctness of a despatch sent by General Pope to General Halleck on August 30, 1862, giving. an account of an alleged ‘terrific engagement” with the enemy on the previous day,.on the ‘‘identical battle field of Bull Run.” The witnesses posi- tively swear that there was no general en- gagement on August 2), and that the firing on that day was confined to occa- sional dropping shots from the lines of skirmishers and a little artillery practice in the evening. This is very remarkable tes- timony, for General Pope's despatch states that the battle raged from daylight until dark with ‘continuous fury ;”’ that the Union loss was eight thotsand men in killed and wounded, and the loss of the enemy not less than two toone as compared with our own. It seems that the witnesses who flatly contradict the story of a battle must be mistaken, inasmuch as the Con- federate chronology of the second year of the war, records on August 29, 1862, the “battle of Groveton, between Generals Jackson and Longstreet and the federal army under General Pope.” But the en- gagement is not spoken of as a severe one, having been mainly skirmishing attacks, and General Pope's official report of his campaigh in Virginia, made in January, 1863, while enlarging on the operations of the 29th; scarcely carries out the idea of the “terrific battle’ which, according to his despatch of the following day, ‘lasted with continuous fury from daylight until after dark.” Indeed, in his more careful official report General Pope states that “from twelve until four o'clock very severe skirmishes occurred constantly at various points on our line,” and that at half-past five o'clock Generals Heintzelman and Reno were ordered to attack, when a “sharp con- flict of an hour and a halt” occurred. This is not consistent with the story of a ‘“‘ter- rific battle,” which “lasted with continuous fury from daylight until dark,” as told in the Halleck despatch, ‘There was, no doubt, a fight on August 29, but it was probably magnified in importance by General Pope, It is singular, however, that in the highly eongratulatory despatch sent to General Halleck on August 30, in which the “great captures” made on the preceding day— ot the extent of which General Pope declares him- self unable then to form an idea —are alluded to, no mention whatever is made of any dis- appointment at the tailure of General Fitz John Porter to arrive on the field of battle. On the contrary, General Pope promises in that despatch to “push matters in the course of the morning (August 30), as soon as General Fitz John Porter comes up from Manasses,” The Tramp Nuisance, A new tramp law having just come into operation in New Hampshire some of the sturdy beggars and loungers have gone to State Prison and others are leaving the State—it is simply impossible that any of them are wilfully going to work. It is time that New York took action of the same sort, and this city, with its six or seven thousand male tramps and about one-tenth as many vagrant females, is the proper place to be« gin. No new law is necessary ; the existing Vagrant act is sufficient if the police courts will enforce it. In New York the tramp is even a greater curse than the Street Cleaning Commission. “ He infests every aren and doorway ; yet if food—the only charity which summer beggars should expect—is offered him, he either curses the givet or throws the food into some convenieat alley or va- cant lot. What he wants is money, with which to buy rum ; what he does not want, and will not under any circumstances a¢- cept, is the chance to work. His proper place is the workhouse or prison, where he may be kept from mischief and compelled to earn his own living, and -we have enough of laws, courts and jails to provide for him according to his deserts. Can the Police Commissioners drop politics and personal squabbles long enough to see that the law against these nuisances is enforced f They are more annoying than confidence men and more feared than burglars; yet there is not the slightest reason, except in the gross negligence of police officers and pohce magistrates, for their existence at oll within the city limits. The law should be enforced at once, if only to dis- courage the regular winter incursion of these rascally nuisances from the rural districts ; but cure is as necessary as pre- vention when an evil has been allowed to go unchecked as long as this has. The peace of a single householder is worth more than the lives of the entire fraternity of tramps. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
