The Threatened Enropean Wai The Intest deenatches from Europe, thoujeli apparently bringing intelligence of the definite withdrawal of LEoron as 4 candi- date for the Spanish throne, do not indicate an abatement of the war feeling. Last night the Paris Bourse Has again greatly agitated, and Rentes went down. 4} Navo.Eon continues his war preparations, Belgium and Spain are organizing their ar- mics, Prussia is defiant, and Austria is lean- ing toward France. It is perhaps significant that Don Cantos has sailed from Bordeaux, and that his partisans are again active in Bpaiv. But if Navonnon really meaus war, be is evideutly losing time in not beginning it at once. . ae The Mim Park Riot. There is no true Irishman but must hang his head with shame at the disgraceful scenes which occurred at Elm Park and along the Fighth avenne on Tuesday. To the Catholic party belongs the guilt of making a murderous assault upon a mixed crowd of men, women, and children, hours after even the show of provocation had been received. The Protestants may be censured for using imprudent language during their march. Their enemies say they did use such language, thongh they aver that they did not. One thing, however, is indisputalile. Tho Irish Protestants have the same rights in this city as the Irish Catholics, If it is right for the Catholics to parade with mu: and banners oa the 17th of March, it is right that the Protestants shoald be accorded the game privilege on the 12th of July. And it is the business of the authorities to protect both in their legal rights. If the City and Btate Governments do not guarantee this liberty, it may fall upon Congress to protect the Irish Protestants from the fury of the class of persons who have disgraced them- selves and their nation by this horrible massacre, One cyil the misguided Catholics who took part in the riot have done, which they probably did not think of. They h brought a large amount of odinm upon their religion in the minds of unreason- Ing people. It will be said, and with con- siderable force, that If Catholic teachings pro- @uce a class of men who are converted into wild beasts whenever their prejudices are assailed, there is not much value in them. Areligion which does not render us tolerant and patient of abuse, especially when we are in the right, does not amount to much. Of course the great body of Catholics know this, and deplore the events of Tuesday more bit- terly than Protestants do. It must be hard indeed for them to think how grievously their Church has been injured by those who preteud to act in defence of her honor. a —— The Brooklyn Ring again: Attorney Morris, Gov. Norrman has taken notice of the ebarges made by Huon McLavou.in against District Attorney Monnrs, and Mor- RIS appeared yeste! n Albany to answer them. It will be remembered that part of the Democratic ticket in Brooklyn was defeated last autumn, notwithstanding the. unparal Jeled frauds committed by the inspectors and eanvassers of the election. No doubt Gov. Horrman will admit that frauds on the bal Jot box are the greatest of all political effences. To elect a man by false re turns, is to strike down the will of the people. To support those returus by per Jory makes the crime still more flagrant. The fact that sixty-two Democratic officers District of election were engaged in these acts, shows the corruption of the tes. No com munity is safe if such criminals are tolerated ‘To stay the sword of justice against thom is en offence against society. But what willbe waid ifthe Governor of this State should ro move the District Attorney after he has con victed half a dozen of those uinals while fifty more are awaiting trial? Will it not be believed that it is done from party con- siderations ¢ In the Brooklyn election of Inst autumn Mr, CONNINGUAM, the Democratic caudidate for Sheriff, was defeated by Mr. WALTEns, the Republican nominee. It is generally be- Heved the whole Democratic ticket was de- feated, with the exception of Mayor Kaun. WLEISCH, upon whom all classes of cltizons, got under the control of politicians, united. To elect CUNNINGHAM, an organization had deen formed, out of which the officers of the election were chosen—principally employees ef the Water Board, the most corrapt Com: mission in that city, and from several other @opartments under the control of MeL Avan uin’s Ring. It was publicly announced thet Cuxnincuam would Le counted in, no mat. ter what mojority wainst him. Thousands of votes were miseounted, and a Great number of ballots were destroyed after the polls closed, and never counted, All through th» city tho eanvassers made false returns under oath, thus showlug the extent ef the conspiracy, District Attornuy Mon.

Soon he would be alone, like Mantes amid the reine of Carthag Adjournments and new trials would amount to nothing if Morris re mafned in office to continue the prosecution. Asn last resort he preferred two charges against Mornrs: one for retaining « portion of aclérk’s salary ; the other for compromising a forfeited recognizance, and not paying over the balance to the City Treasurer. This bal- ance has since been paid. Upon these charges Mons ie arraigned before the Governor. The object is to remove a man who, if left in office, will convict the remaining fifty can- vaseers of election, and vindicate the rights of an outraged commanity. Not many years since a vigilance commit tee was formed in San Francesco, on elighter ground, to remedy astmilar mischief. Th France, NaroLgon with all his power dare not change the result of the vote of Pari which went against him at the Inst election: What a despot there, commanding half a million of soldiers, dare not do, was done by the Ring in Brooklyn; and a public prose- cutor bold enongh to arraign the culprits is under trial before the Governor on frivolous charges, and is in danger of being removed. To remove him is to stifle farther proseen- tion, to embolden all such criminals, and ren- der elections a farce. If McLAvantin suc ceeds in getting him removed, it will be an official approval of the villainy—an Execu- tive sanction of future frauds, We do not believe Gov. Horran will permit himself to be used as a catspaw for euch purposes by Boss McLavonin and his Ring. —- Deserters from the Army. We have before us the descriptive lists of deserters from the army, as published at the Eastern Superintendency of the General Re- cruiting Service for the period embraced be- tween April 30 and June 20, 1870. These lists aro published hero every ten days. That for May 20 is missing from our file, but we find by taking the average of the other lists that the approximate number for that day was forty-three, Adding that number to those given by the other lists, we have three hundred and forty-seven as the whole number of deserters reported at the Eastern Superffitendency for the two months ending with the 20th of Juno last. If now there were #0 many reported at the Western Superintendency at Cincinnati in the same time, we would have a total of six hundred and ninety-four desertions from our little army in two months. One would think this quite bad enongh ; but itisnot all. Acareful examination of these papers shows that, of the sixty batteries in the five regiments of artillery, and of the three hundred companies in the twenty-five regiments of infantry, only sixteen batteries and twenty-three companies respectively have deserters advertised at the Eastern Superin- tendency. Are we to infer from this that de- sertion is exclusively confined to these thirty- nine batteries and companies? It is not to be supposed that there are in the Amorican army thirty-nine captains so peculiarly unfit- ted for command as, by their conduct, to drive three hundred and forty-seven soldiers from the service in the short space of eight weeks. Nor, on the other hand, docs it ap- pear that either the locality, the climate, or the occasional bullets of the Indians have much influence in swolling or diminishing this exodus of patriots ; for inside of a month we find nine men deserting from a single battery stationed in New York State, and twelve men within fifteen days taking French leave of one company in far-away Idaho. ‘The fact ts, the whole army is suffering from desertion; and while every company commander is obliged to report to Washing- ton the number of desertions from his com- mand, he ig not obliged to render these re- ports to the Supcrintendents of the Recrult. ing Service by whom they are made public The consequence is, but few commanders wke these last reports. It is but fair then to suppose that the remaining forty-four batterics of artillery, the two hundred and soventy-seven companies of infantry, and the one hundred and eigliteen companies of caval ry, whose designations do not appear on these lista, lose just as many menu as the thirty- nine companies whose lists are 80 frequently published at the New York Superintondency. Assuming this to be the case, and tal five as the average loss for each company every two months, we have a total loss of 20 men by deseriion every two months from our army. So much desertion in time of peace is simply monstrous and disgraceful. An evil 80 gigantic and wide-spread indicates that its ca al as they are severe in their effeets, Ww hether the evident dis- taste of the soldiers for the uniform, which a few months’ service seems to develop, has its origin iu individual 11 treatment or in the broken pledges of the Goveroment, as the recruit understood them, the subject calls for the closest scrutiny and immediate action by the General commannding the army. mm Another Outrage in St. Domingo. We give place in another part of this paper to tif statement of Mr. J. M. Corommant of ‘an outrage lately inflicted upon him by Pres- ident Barz of St. Domingo. It seems that he went down there for the purpose of working certain copper mines in which he is interested, As soon as he landed he was arrested by order of the Government, cast into a lontheome prison, refused any ex- flanation of the reason of his arrest, and finally sent out of the country with what is 2e8 ore AS gi culled a “passport of ejectment.” At the same time he was informed that if he should attempt to return, he would again be put in prison and subjected to the same process of banishment or not, as the Government might determine Tt appears that this gentleman ia an American citizen; that he was in St. Do: mingo upon legitimate business ; that he was not in any way concerned in any political controversy belonging to that country; and that he did not desire or dntend in any man- ner to interfere with the action either of the Government of Baxz, or of the revolutionary party which is opposed to it, His only pur jose was to work the copper mines to which he had a lawful title. Nevertheless, from motive of jealousy, or from some im- of caprice, he was subjected to the out- ich we record, and was banished, > intimation that it would be in vain me pule for-him to avempt to return, unless the treaty of armeration should be approved by the Senate at Washington. Ts it too much to ash that the Administra tion should pay some attention to tho wrongs which Mr. CoLomBant bas suffered ? Or will it prefer to treat them as it has treated the similar case of David Hater, likewire an Amerfean citizen, and Tikewire arrested and imprisoned without cause by the authorities to whom Gen, Grant has just paid $150,000? ‘The country will await the action of the Government upon this case with considerable interest. The confidence of the people that citizens of the United States will be protected im their }awful pur suits in foreign countries has been greatly diminished since the present Administration came into power; and for that reason, if Gen. Grant is wise, he will improve the op- yortuotty now offered him by compelling Baxz to make a suitable apology td Mr. CoLomBant, to pay him a proper indemnity, and to give hhm the neccesary assurance of immunity in the prosecution of his businces in St. Domingo. ae eeree Inland Transportation of Bonded Goods —A Constitutional Difficulty. The House of Representatives concurred on Saturday with the Senate in the adoption of an amendment tothe Tax bill, by which foreign goods imported into New York, Bos- ton, Portland, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Port Huron, may be immediately transported in bond to certain other ports of entry named, mostly inland. The purpose of this measure is to avoid the vexatious delays to which merchants in the interior, importing goods from Europe, are exposed under the present system. These merchants complain that their importations are detained at the sea-coast custom houses for wooks and weeks, to their great detriment, and to the corresponding advantage of more favored rivals, Should the proposed enact- ment provail, it will, in effect, make of the cars of certain railroad lines, to be designated by the Secretary of the Treasury, bonded warchouses during the period of the transit of the goods to the interior, and the work of appraisement and liquidation of duties will be performed at the place of ultimate desti- nation instead of that of landing. In the course of the debate on the amend- ment in the Senate, Mr. Bayanp raised a question of constitutionality, which, thongh rather cavalierly treated by moat ot his fel- low Senators, is not without weight. The ninth section of the first article of the Con- stitution of the United States provides that “no preference shall be given by any regu- lation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one State over those of another.” To enact, therefore, that goods may be imported into a port of one State for the purpose of trans- mission on land to the interior, when they may not be imported for that purpose into the ports of another State, is plainly, in Mr. Bayann’s view, giving a preference—and a very important prefereace—to one State over another. The answer made to this argument in the debate wi first, that the object of the section quoted from the Constitution was merely to prevent a higher rate of duties be- ing exacted at one port than at another; and in the second place, that if Mr. Barann's doctrine was sound, it was unconstitutional to make one port a port of entry while an- other was not a port of entry. For clearly it is a privilege for a port to be a port of entry ; and if this privilege is not to be conferred on the ports of one State to the exclusion of those of another, then our custom-house legislation has been unconstitutional all along. Accordingly, Mr. Bayanp, though supported by Messrs, CoNKLING, EpMuNbs, and Howe, was voted down, and the ques- tion will probably be left to be decided by the courts. ee Ee We publish in another column an tm. portant letter from the Hon. Epwanps Pienne- vort. It relates to # statement which has been made in Washington, that Judge Pirrarront’s contribution of $20,000 to the Grant election fund in 1868 was not really paid, but was» sham and a delusion, This imputation Judge Preene- proxr denies and disproves by conclusive evi- We have seen the check for the sum of 0,000. It is upon the American Exchange Bank, dated Oct. 10, 1868, and payable to the order of A, T. Stewart, Chairman, It bears Mr. Srewanr’s endorsement, and the stamp of the bank showing that it bas been paid. If any one has ever believed that Judge Pienueront’s donation to this fund was not made in good faith and the money really furnished, that. belief was utterly mistaken. — - An interesting question, which has occa sioned a great deal of discussion during the past ten years, was raised anew in the Senate, by Mr, Tuveman of Ohio, on Monday last, T bill granting lands to aid in the construction of the Sioux City and Columbus Railroad, in Nebraska, was before the Seuate, and Mr, Tavaman moved to amend it by inserting a provision, “that suid Company shall at all times transport troops, munitions of war, and public stores of the United Btates free of change.’? This amendment was op- posed by Mr. Pomtroy of Kansas, who moved to iusert in its place the usual provision, “that this road shall be free to the use of the Government for the transportation of troops, munitions of war, and public stores.” This, Mr. Poweaor said, was what had always been required of railroad eom- panies receiving land grants, Its effect was to make their roads free to the use of the Govern- ment; but it required the Government to find its own rolling stock, end do all its own work, Mr, Tuya an contended that Mr. Pomunoy’s pro- vision amounted te wothing at all; and that in ‘any case of need the Government would be ob- liged to hire cars and locomotives and men to run them from the railway companies, and to pay for them just what the companies might choose to demand. He contended that if such bounties were given toa company, the least that it could doin return would be to transport troops of the Cnited States, munitions of war, and public stores over the road free of charge; and that nine times out of ten every necessity for sending troops, muni tions of war, and public stores would be a neces of defending the road itself, When the ion was tuken Mr, Tuvnman was defeated, proposition of Mr. Pomeroy was adopted by 81 yeas (o 16 nays, The licons, and the nays contained abou mixture of members of the two parties. sity yeas were all Repub- This subject was frequently brought up in the House of Representatives during the rebellion by | Mr, Wastnease of Hingis. ‘That gentleman was an opponent of the Ilinois Central Railroad, the first iaportaut corporation that received @ laud grant from Congress, It had claims for transpor- tation against the War Department amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, Mr, Wasu- BURNE argued that they should not be paid, but should be treated simply as an offset to the land grant, This view, however, was constantly re- jected by Congress, and the claime were finally pid. The Somte Is mow evidently of opinion that in granting lands to aid fn the eobstruction of new railroads in the far West, ho ‘conditions should be imposed on the grantees except those laid pow similar corporations in other parts of the coun try. The different railroad corpe! atl dela in this country —always excepting thet of the Brie Rail. way—lone over @ million of ¢ liars every year by not advertising sufficiently. The great inass of truvellers have no ready meens of obtaining the information they want as (o the departure and arrival of traina, an { ¢ rates of fare, except through the newapaper., which are always the first authority they consult, The people have no time to run round and inquire a’ the hotels for what they want, and would rately get either cor- rect or civil answers if they did. Individuals have generally the sense to advertise their busi- ness; but corporations, as a rule, are aa devoid of sense 43 of soul, The matter is of much more consequence to thé railroad companics than to the newspapers, and concerns the public far more than either, If railroad directors Knew how many complaints are received at every newspaper office fn town as to the diffeutty of obtaining ac- curate information about their roads, possibly they might learn a little wisdom. —_— By writing preseriptions in Latin, phy- sicians, aw wo remarked a few days ago, have been the unintentional cause of many serions blunders un the part of drug clerks, But it is not from this alone that mistakes ariee, How frequently do illiterate servants Iny hold of the wrong bottle and administer « fatal dose to them- selves or their helpless charges. Some drug- gists write merely the name of the poisonous con- tents on the vials that y sell, Others, more careful, add the word poi ; but what good will either do in the case of a servant who cannot read? Many German drogeists in this city, ad- hering to a custom that is prevalent in Germany, make use of labels bearing large skulls and eross- bones, printed in staring colors, to prevent the misapplication of poisonous compounds, The hand of a Kaffir or an Ethioplan sauvage would be arrested by such a warning as th Why should not all druggists adopt 40 excellent a custom ? a Ata reeont meeting of the Commissioners of Emigration, His Honor Mayor O' Hawt offer- ed resolation providing ‘that the subject of the appointment of physicians for the Lunatic Asylum be referred back to the Ward's Island mend to the Board for such positions only such physicians as are conversant with the English and German languages.” This resolution was adopted ; and it now appears that the Sachems of Tammany, who have forgotten the manly speech of the forefathers of the tribe, and have perfected themselves in the dialects of Ulster and Connanght, and have mastered the intricacies of the Saxon tongue, are anxious that their em- ployees sali be versed in what old writers once called the langue de Jah, But if it is necessary for the physicians in the Lunatic Asylam to know German, why should not our judges, aldermen, and policemen know it as well? Why should not a knowledge of the guttural language of Scmitse and Gostus be required of our Sheriff and Comptroller, and the offiters and laborers employed iu and by the Department of Public Works? And seeing that we are soon to be overrun by hordes of copper- colored people from the Celestial Empire, is it not the bounden duty of Tammany to provide for the introduction of the Chinese classics in the municipal curriculum, to the end that Ah Sing, snd You Ret, and All Right, and the other thou- sands of lallatiag Mongolian may not find them- selves at sea when they land on our shores? It is said that Mayor O'Haxt’s resolution has already had the effect of sending Commissioner Twenv, Judge Boswonrs, Henny Surra, M. T. Buexxax, Comptroller Coxxonuy, and other graduates of Tammany Hall back to their books again. There is latont dread that in some future time, not far distant, more sweeping reso- lutions will be passed, and that a system of com- petitive examinations in the modern languages will be ordained, and that a fuilure on the part of 4n office-seeker will doom him to dire disappoint- ment; wherefore Commissioner Twen is over- hauling his German Primer at Greenwich, and the other lenders are delving daily deep in the pagesof Ollondorff's interesting treatise, in the hope of soon being able to hold their own in ama- bwan contest with the most voluble Teuton that ever cursed Kaiser or poured libations to the Lager King. ———E The Herald is responsible for the state- ment that a young lady of one of the most aristo- cratic families in Boston has had her ears made smaller by a surgical operation, The name of the young lady should have been given, because all thoso of the aristocracy whos naturale ly small will now remain under the snapicion that their ears have been razeed. 8 Ar 1 the Grant To the Editor of The Sun.
