Fnmthe lime, v Tti bopi'8 ot those who thought that when the ar was over the cost of living woul'l approximate to no. ante-war ataudard were dis appointed in a lame deeree. There have been reductions In manj articles, but the majority of necessaries are very high in puce, and not only wl'hout any occasion thereior, but what Is a much worse feature, ti e people appear totally heed lets of the evils which such a state of thing' Involves, and buy as extravagantly as if money waf.exhauBtless, and the fair days of proiperity never to end. This should be looked to. It Id an unhealthy sign for squandering to become the habit, whether of individuals or society. There is no uee in blamiug those who soil us goods th error is with those who buy. Dur ing; 'he lawt throe years there was a desire ou all siden to prow suddenly lich. The accumulation of wealth wa discovered to be au absurdly slow process; and whila larzo combinations of men or mouey absorbod aud speculated with all that was essential to the comfort (r even support of lite, and so made tb'ir tortuiio, the dealers followed this bright example In a smaller way, by the simple eKpo dient of doubling their rates of profit. In those davs there was much siitlei 1112 and loud outcry, but it was ail borne with, because the thought wits lu the mind of every mid.ile-cla"j and po r consumer that when the war wai over prices would tall. But it seems that nearly everybody is so rich thai, any serious di.sr.ussiou as to what a tanulv should eat and wear is not to be tole rated. There is plenty of money, says every body; and as we can well afford, to pay for whatever we fancy, whose business is it but our own? We say nearly everybody, but that does not meun the great mass of the striving, toiling humanity, to whom every dollar is an important matter. Aud it is tne case of these latter which needs advocacy. They do not mean altogether what are understood as the very poor, bit they include untold thoH'andsof educated, good, aud honorable, but very anxious men men whose appearance is their working capital no less than their skill or knowledge, and to whom a shabby cent is absolute rum. When this latter, whin all the poor felt severely tbereipn ot high prices, tradesmen and speculators found their customers among the richer buyers, aud bated no jot to their poorer. The present eta-e of things is lar worse now, lor the carelessness of those who have money, which it was hoped would be but temporary, has be come, so to speaK, permanent. Tne rule of ex travagance has become fixed, and all its evils stare us id the face. And is there no remedy ? There is, in the inevitable disaster which is always the punishment ot a heedless, giddy people. Those who, by their lavish outlays, keep up the cost of every t Ling which they con sume, by their folly are doing something else they are perpetuating the season ot artificial values, ana during which reverses are always imminent. Tbey keep alive the hopes and the rapacity of speculators, and preveut that general' social relict wmcn peace ana productiveness might bring, by making that rapacity able to perpetuate itself. IIow often we have predicted that general acquiescence in the demands of extortioners would result in apermauent and great advance in the rates of living, our readers well know. To a proper advance, one justified by the various circumstances ot the hour, none can object: but it is intolerable that any article of food or cloth ing should stand, at the price askod when we were in the darkest hours ot the war, and gold was at 270. The remedy is within roach, as we truly bolieve. Those who have to make pur chases can, if they will, use it with full effect. It. simply consists in refusing to pay more than lair prices for what they want, and doing with out if they cannot obtain them thereat. , It is a common tninsr to say that inasmuch as we have a debt of British proportions we must be content to pay as high tor food and clothes as Britishers pay in short, that.the day of cheap living is past with us. Well, the British debt is larger than ours, and our natural resources are inexhaustible, which hers arenot; but no matter We do not pay British prices would that tpe did. The coat we pay $50 lor here is a two-guinea all air in London, or any other English town, and as the two guineas are paid in gold, the price ot gold does not affect the matter. Butter in England would be very dear at an American i . . . i . , . stiver quarter a puuuu, mm lue American loai is a good deal smaller than that at the bame specie price there. And so with hosts ol other things one item, house-rent alone, will suffice for all the rest agood house, one that costs $2000 a year or more in New York, brings less than a third that sum in London, and less than twenty per cent in other localities, and if the comparison excluded New York because of its alleged over crowding, it would not show much better for our side of the case. In short, in our desire to be magnificent, we are laying ourselves open to tue charge of being absurd. ... . The War In Europe. trom the Tribune. '. The abandonment of the Peace Conference Is regarded by all Europe an a virtual declaration of war. Nothing was wanting to the actual beginning ot hostilities but a pretext. This pre text, it seems, has now been found in Holstoin. Tbe Austrian representative in the Feleral Diet of Frankfort stated on the 1st oi June that ' hid Government, having endeavored in vain to come to an understanding with Prussia con cerulng the Duchies, would now leave the whole matter, and In particular the question of succes sion. In the hands of the Diet. This step Prus sia maintains was a violation of the agreement between the two great powers concluded in Jan uary, 1864, which stipulated that all future airaugements of the affairs of the Duchies should be dependent upon a mutual understand ing between thorn. This violation of the truaty, Prussia further contended, put an end to the Convention ot Gastrin, of August 15, 1805, by Tit tue ot which Austria took provisional posses sion of Holstein, and Prussia of Uchleswtg. Prussia, therefore, claimed the right to occupy henceforth, conjointly with Austria, the whole of the Duchies. Rumors were circulating that Prussia would treat the Austrian declaration in Franktort, and Austria the entry of Prussian Uoops into Holstein, as a casu$ belli. No one, at a time so momentous as the pre sent cares to examine the validity of the Prus s'.an or the Austrian arguments. Prussia , promptly followed up her declaration by march ing, on June 7, a body ot troops Into Holstein. Hhe avowed no intention to expel the Aus'rians, but only to assert again her joint right of pos session in Holetein its well as in Scbleswig. The Austrian General- in Holstein, being without instructions, evacuated the places which had bein occupied by the Prussians. Thus, both armies were brought face to face. Every moment might bring a declaration of war from the one party or the other. But both still seemed to shrink trom the odium of hpins the nrst to declare for war. Both continued t make professions ot pacific intentions. Count Bismark, uuwever, in a circular uespatcn, which ;was . roamed Dy an extraordinary severity In its declarations against Austria, denied ihe com- petency of the Federal Diet to decide the ques tion or the Duchies, but offered to have it peaceably settled by a German Parliament. , Italy was ready to begin hostilities the mo ment war should be declared in Germany. No trustworthy Information has vet been obtained concerning the iutenriousol France. Rub-is. and other neutral powers; but Russia is generally uenucu hj icau iu iue blue OI AUSUl'l. The War In Europe -Historical Parallel. From Me Htraid. The latest news from Europe, which we pub lished yesterday, is very warlike. The scheme ot a (.eace conference having been abandoned, Prusela has marched her troops info Ilolsteln, Austria has concentra ed her forces, and Italy Is all ready lor the struggle. It is probable that the rext steamer will bring the announcement of a battle, and soon all Europe will ring wltu the clash of resounding arms. When hostilities are actually commenced it will be exceedingly difficult to tell when and where they will termi nate. Eng'and, France, and Russia, now neu tral, mav at any lime be brought into the fray, and the' European deinociacy, who have long a ullcd their opportunity to strike, may at jonie unexpected moment take sides in the con flict and overturn the tottering thrones ol impe rial despots. The curious repcMtions or parallelisms of his tory have become proverbial. Napoleon, who has stirred up this war lor ceitain mot ves of his own, is playing the same came with Germany now that Richelieu played with Charles the Fifth, The Reformation inauguiated bv Luther was political as well as religious. - Richelieu secretly took part in the troubles which arose, and aided the Protestants In Germany while he was putting them down in tavor ol the Catholics in Fiance. Charles the Fifth, then Emporor of Germany and King ot Spain, a sovereign who toasted that the sun never set upon his domi nions, was constantly harassed by attacks from all sides, now from a poweriul rival, aud no from a confederation ol Gorman princes, until at tbe end ol the Tuirty Years' War he was glad to ald'cate, and retire into a monastery. In many respects his position resembled that of the pre sent Emperor of Austria, auainst whom similar coalitions are forming, and whose object, like that of Charles, is to cstabl sh aud strengthen the power of the Pope by repressing the ambi tious advances of Italy. Prussia and Italy now occupy the position held by the opponents of Chnrlcs. Napoleon, l.ke Richelieu, stands be hind the scenes fomenting the various Intrigues. England, then neutral because or her own trou bles with the Commonwealth, is now in nearly the same attitude. Finally, the democratic ele ment, then unknown in politics, has taken the place t)t the religious element once so potential. After the battle ol Lut.en Richelieu secured for France the pri.e tor which he had been scheming the felt b;iuk of the Rhine aud it is more than suapeced that Napoleon is now anxious to acquire the same territory. Tne singular lact that Richelieu a-s.sted tue Protes tants is paral.eied by the assistance which Napo leon notoiiouslv gives tbe democrats wherever he thinks he can control tue:n, and whenever he fudges it to be to his advantage. A wise man uses his enemies to further his osvn plans; but, alter all, it is a dangerous game, and one in which the erpinecr is olten hoist with his own petard. Richelieu succeeded in his itnmedia'.e plots; but he gave Protestunism an impetus which bottling has since been aole to check. Napoleon may find democracy a tool equally dangerous to haudle. Should fhere be a revolu tionary uprising in France, his crown will be one of the hist to tremble, it' not to tall. To complete the historical parallel, it is only necessary to consider the asppct of affairs in England, where the Reform bill now being de buted will probably be defeated or postponed, and the people, tired of waiting loi the recogni tion of their rights Dy a Government which has many faults and few recommendations other than that of custom and tradition, may take affairs into tbeir .own hands and establish another commonwealth or republic. We cannot anticipate another Thirty Years' War, since wars are shorter in these days; but it u possible that an entire reconstruction of the map of Europe and the overthrow of several ancient dynasties mav precedethat peace of fatigue and exhaustion which will close this contest as it did the wars of Charles the Fifth. Upon this or any other result Americans may look with complacency, for our troubles are over, and we shall certainly be bene fited by those in Europe The Late General Cass. From the World. We recollect that, many years ago, when we first began to feel an interest In newspapprs, we chanced to read a Washington letter sketching prominent members ot the American Senate, in which General Ca?s was neatly hit off as "a heavy edition of Benjamin Franklin." The contour of General Cass' head and face bore, rndesd, a considerable resemblance to the por. traits of Dr. Franklin, a resemblance which also extends to the breadth and portliness of figure common to both. In tbeir mental lineaments there was no great similarity; General Cass having little of the Inventiveness which, in Iran Klin, amounted to genius. Both, trom a buyhoo.l of povetty, rose to wealth aud distinc tion; both were Ministers to France; both died at an advanced age. Any further parallel would be lanciful. Franklin ranked next to Washington among the founders of our inde pendence, and has a name in philosophy which will never die. General Cass belonged to the higher cists of second-rate statesmen, and out of politics was merely a well-cultivated gentleman. General Cass wag born about the same time with Web9ter, Clay, and Calhoun; and his grade as a statcsauu t an be tuct determined by comparing bira with those three, who, by coin- n.on consent, held the first rank. Each of this distinguished trio impressed himself deeply upon his age; and if we measure tneir Influence y the permanence of its results, Webatcr over topped them al). The vigorous acuteness of Calhoun impressed on the Southern mind a theory of the Constitution which united the South, almost as one man, in the late terriole struggle for Southern independence. It wa& tbe massive eloquence of Webster that overbore the subtle louic of Calhnim, and erected a barrier against any considerable spread of the secession doctrine in tlie Nortbi-m 8tates. The Intellec tual part of the late struggle was fought in the preceding generation, between those powerful chumpions, each tixmir the belief of bis own section so unHlterablv that onlv a coutlict of arms could decide which theory ot the Constitu tion suouia prevail. It is impossible not to do homaae to the intel lect Jul power which produces eucli mighty re sults; and we uppose tuat tne nnai prevalence ot Mr. Webster's doctrine must stump til in a tbe greater statesman. Mr. Clay concerned himself more witn tbe temporary questions wbicu be lonced to his generation; and his political economy being derived lrom the outgoing instead ot the Incoming school, he was in no respect in advance of his age, and in most a little behind it. lie wat an uniivalled party chief and practical administrator; a man born for ascendancy over contemporary nrnds. In all the great controversies of his time except the master one of all, which wenls to the roots of our Government, and which, in tact, belonged lens to uii time man to tbat ol bit children Mr. Clay was not only tbe acknowledged leader on one side, but the very originator either of the question quarrelled over, or ot tbe adjustment. The Tariff question, the Dank question, the In ternal Improvement question, were launched by him into the stormy waves f political debute, and were tbe ruling 1-sue during the greater part of his active caieer. In the questions between the North and South, Mr. Clay was the author of the Compromise of 1820, oi the Compromise of 1833, and of the Compromise of I860, by all of which dangerous controversies were temporarily adjusted, and the tluul trial of strength between the two sec tions postponed. Judued by whit transpired merely in his own time, he ai the irreatest American statesman ot bis ace; but belonging only to bis age, he lacked the penetration winch enabled his great rivals to descry and debate the most deep-reaching question ot the age that was coming in, and to Identity their lame prin cipally with if. When we descend to statesmen of tbe second older, amoue whom General Cas, Mr. Benon, Mr. Buchanan, Bilas Wright, and even Mr. Van buren (though bis retirement from public lite so early as loll is perhaps all tuat prevented hia r sing Into the first rank) belonged, we find a set who rather followed than led public opinion, and (except Mr. Van Buren) favored party tendencies as a means of personal Influ ence. General Cass, like the rest, bad not suffi cient ability to have been either tbe founder of a party, or to have given a new and original turn to the polllicsl thinking of bis contempo raries. He floated oh the disputes which others bad raised. While Minister at Paris, he pub lished a clever pamphlet on the right oi search, which bad a Euronean circulation, and pre vented, or assisted to prevent, the lunction of France In a quintuple treaty sanctioning the rlpht of search as u part ol European public law. This was an old question, but he did good service by the vigor with which he reargued it. On the Oiegon boundary question he took extreme aud untenable ground, prompted by the anti-BritUh feeling which was tho mo.t per sistent of his political passions. On the Texas question he was an annexationist, moving witn the general drift of Democratic public sentiment, and on that ground he prevented, in 1844, the nomination of Mr. Van Buren. though unable to secure his own: and Mr. Polk wag made the Democratic candidate. Near the close of 1847, w hen Pissidential candidates began again to be canvassed, and the Wilmot provi-o was the exciting topic, General Cass sought to turn the flank of a question he did not erne to meet in front, by his lamous Nicholson letter, in which he propounded the doctrine of territorial, or as Mr. Calhoun called H in derision, "squatter" soveieignty. It was, in fact, the only solution of the slavervquestion which could have avoided the territorial conflict which was even then ripening. On the strength of that letter he was nomluated for the Presidency, but lost the election mainly In consequonco ot Mr. Van Burcn's tunning as a third candidate. Territorial sovereignty was the only original idea ever Introduced by General Cas into our politics; and tor a while it had considerable vogue among the Northern Deiioctacv. But when, seven years later. Senator Douglas carried tt to its logical fonseonenre. Dv reuealmi? the Missouri Compromise, it did more lo precipitate a nosuie collision man any political theory ever broached among us. It inflamed the anti slavery fanaticism, f-plit the Democratic party, and deluged the laud in blood. Its practical result has been, not to award sovereignty to the Territories, but to eclipse it in the States. General Cass whs a zealous and leading promoter of the Compromise of 1850: but that temporary arrangement was a mere breathing-spell in the political part of the struggle. General Cass' political career, though dis tinguished and honorable, was, on the whole, a failure. He aimed at the highest post in our Government, ana never attaiuea it; but in this ret-pect he did not differ from the most distin guished statefineu who were bis contemporaries. But, unlike them, ho was nut compensated in influence lor what be tailed to galu in official position. He carried no great measure in his own lime; he impressed no permanent ideas on the succeeding; bis Influence expired before him. It was his mistortune to hasten the terrible cou llict which Iihs tilled the country with graves and put the Constitution itelf in peril; first, by preventing Mr. Van Bui en being nude Pre-udeut in 1844, and secondly, by broaching the doctrine ot territorial sovereignty. Mr. Van Bureu's election in lts44 would have ciianged the whole course ot our subsequent history. It might not bne shut the door again t Texas; but it would nave prevcutea tne Mexican war, and the conse quern acquisition ot temtory which moved a Pandora's box to the country. But after the new territory was in, the doctrine ot squatter sovereignty, when carried to ns logical conse quence in the repeal of the Missouri Compro mise, broke up (he fountains of the great deep and bi ought on the deluge. As General Cass and his contemporaries be lorar now to history, we have ventured to speak of them with historical freedom. 0'ie by one the links are breaking which connected this political generation with the last. When Mr. Bu chanan and John Bell have followed General Cass there will be lctt among us no considerable representative of the American Senate as it ex- iuled. in its "high aid palmy da," at dawn of the anti-slavery era in our politics. tlio Americans Abroad. From tlie Daily Hews, The pending war in Europe seems to have aioused tbe desires of vai-t numbers ot Ameri cans to visit tbe Old World, and to share in the excitement and interest attending upon the hostilities about to commence. Tne state-rooms of the steamers are engaged lor weeks before hand, and more passports to visit Europe are issued by the State Department to Americans this year than on any previous one. The Yunkee desire to "see sights" will doubt less be r rati tied by "following the drum" in Europe duiing this summer aud fall in more ways than one. The Amencan Consuls aud Ministers abroad, especially those near the scenes of action, will have tbeir hands full ot business in extricating intrusive and me.ldie eonie tourists trom the wrathful hands ot field marshals andeenerals commanding; and it will be a special blessing if, in the confusion and the uncertainty that are sure to prevail, a half-a-dozen adventurous Americans be not shot as spies for prowling near outposts, or catechi.ing cavalry ollicers at farm-houses over a bottle of bad wine, or, like the Iribune correspondent on the Canada border, lor sportiug au opera glass and being suspicious geueiully. In view ol tbe national character, it Is not too much to anticipate that. In the very imminence ol the conflict, whether between Fru?siaus and Austrians or Austrians and Italians, or both Prussians and Italians against Austrians, a wild, enthusiastic American on horseback may De seen flying about tbe field, with note-book in band, ihtowing brigades into contusion, discon certing plans of battle, and arousing the sur prise of the combntants themselves pursued, perhaps, by a troop of cavalry, and seeking shelttr in either aimy indiileretitlv to be finally captured by somebody, after a hot chase, lodeed under guard, tried by drum-head court-martial tbe next morning, in company wiih a batch of spis, deserters, etc., and duly shot before doc tor's call. Then, as might be supposed, a great deal ot red tape will be put in requisition, blustering old omcers will write curt lettfrs on tne suo ect, politic ministers will smooth over tbe un fortunate occurrence with many reerets, and It will finally be made to appear that tne lamented decenscd brought his late on his own head, and the matter will die out of tlie public mind until another tourist will be caught, hsncintr around the Hunks of an army and will sutler the same fate, accompanied by a voluminous correspond-r-nce, wherein everything will be proved to have beeu legally, and according to military law performed in the unfortunate man's case. Whilst this latter fuct mav CO far to mitigate the oflense. it will still not atone in the mind of tne victim for the presence of the corporal and his flip nt m.
