BDITORUL OriSIONR OF THB LBADIirt JO0RSAXB OPOB CDBRBNT TOPICS COMPII.KD BVEBT DAT FOB THB EVENING TBLEOBAPH. Concerning the president. ; From the Tribune. The air is full of Presidential rumors, every onijof which. verges ,10, a point, and that point Jha President's intended departure from Wash jnglon.' Viewed by a too sanguine class of our follow-oiti.en3,i the bare announcement of such an Intention Will wear an illusive cheerfulness. Thousands of his well-wishing countrymen will reoioe in the ; President's purpose to retire, if but for a time, r from the fatigues of office. Thousands will be willing to rest con tent with the simple assuranoe that he is about to quit Washington. But rumor does not stop here. It plots out a ubiquitous Jour ney for Mr. Johnson. He is not only going4to make a tour through the South, but threatens New Kngland radicalism with a visit East, to assist in a Masonic or Temperance celebration which of them we are not exactly informed. There is still another story that he will come to New York on private business only; but there is none whatever that the President will again venture out West, even if the late lamented Mr. Douglas has to be disinterred for the purpose. The anxiety to know where the President is going is only natural. It is not only a ques tion which is to be left indefinitely to the solution of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens or of Mr. Johnson's religious advisers. He is not going the way of all Presidents; and the American publio may, as it pleases, take pleasure or regret from the fact. For ourselves, we have neither one nor the other, but are welling to accept the situation, if the incumbent of the Executive office decides to leave it for any personal or publio good. We think it more diflioult to understand where the President really is than where he is going; but let that pass. The truth of the case appears to be that, in a few weeks, Mr. Johnson will start on a tour through the South, accompanied by Mr. Seward. Why not with Mr. Sharkey f and why not to the American Siberia just negotiated for by our terrible State Department? We forget that Mr. Sharkey is managing the President's cause before the Supreme Court, and that, if Postmaster Nasby's surmises be true, the dreary relio of diplomacy to the south of the North Pole is a land reservation for the benefit of the Blair family. To dwell upon the poeti cal propriety of a tour by the President and Secretary to the lately acquired regions of valuable snow and merchantable ice would be needless. It is endlessly suggestive. If the Secretary should stay there for a year to warm himself with the work of organizing the terri tories if the Blairs should indeed become congealed and dumbfounded in Governorships thereabout if the President should decide to visit this $7,200,000 worth of worthlessness with anything like Executive sympathy or political fellow-feeling if the Hon. Sharkey should form a portion of the ice-bound train, and a Justice or two of the Supreme Court were to wrap himself up in the judicial ermine, and there undergo political torpor the great nation whish has been made the appanage of a sterile, second-hand idea, con genial only to Siberia, and south of the Polar no-where, would at least be amused. The President, however, is resolved to travel South. A Presidential journey through the South at this time will not be wanting in political purpose or significance. Reckoning the ob vious intent of such a journey, is it not strange that one of his supporters should hope that he will feel it his duty not to make any political speeches, because, "though a very eloquent and effective popular orator, Mr. Johnson does not happily combine that character with the dignity and sense of propriety essential to his office." We make no criticism of the conduct of our Chief Magistrate, having to do only with his going, and not with his bygones. But if Mr. Johnson speaks at all, he will speak politi cally; and the South has every right to expect, if it so pleases, an unburdening of the Execu tive mind as frank and outspoken as the blunt eloquence displayed all along the great pic turesque tour made by the Administration to the West. The President will talk, at least, to friends, if not admirers; and, should he talk at all, will do so to purpose. But the Execu tive party will do well to bear in mind that no journey of theirs to the South will be complete without a visit to Fortress Monroe and to Mayor Monroe. It will be very much like taking coals to Newcastle; but it will be in order. The Late War-Panic In America and Europe-The Romances of tho Cable. From the Times. We suppose that the great Franco-Prussian war panic is over for a fortnight, both here and in Europe. It can hardly be believed that Bismark, fractious, choleric, and determined though he be, will again shake his fist in Napoleon's face before the London Peace Con ference meets on the 15th of this month; and it must be doubted whether the French troops, headed by that formidable telegraphic figure, "Marshal McMahon, Duke of Magenta," who have been hotly engaged for ten days in "grinding their swords," like our own volun teers before the battle of Bull Run, will con tinue to carry on their operations as fervidly as they did a week ago. The "war" was sprung on us so suddenly, and in such a terrible and unaccountable manner, that we were not only startled, but in danger of being quite upset. One telegram hastened after another from Paris, Berlin, and London all proclaiming a gigantic war to be imminent and certain; and if lor an hour these three capitals failed to sound the alarm, the lesser political centres, like Berne, Amsterdam, and Stuttgart did what they could to supply the deficiency. Our markets, and especially our finances, were excited as never before from Europe. 7? S4' may k said that we have now, for the first time, learned the quick and tremen dous influence which European movements, acting through the agenoy of the Atlantic , Cable, must henceforth exercise upon all American interest. The critical history of the recent "war Tanio," as it was wrought up in this country, , a.nd as it actually xitrl i 11 1'n.At..i .... n.wvf yet be fully unfolded. But on some voint3 i. ..,. n.l.r Y.nA ' The first startling and unexpected shock through the niagnetio wire readied Amerioa on the 12th of April, from Berlin. We had been hearing daily about the squabble te : tween Spain and England on the Tornado ,.,1,I,.1 ilia 1'r'thim Anil Worlil Alan liurol.1.,.1 proclaimed that Warn ark had just despatched Napoleon's reasons for the sudden arming which is taking place" declarjng, that be (the cholerio Count) would hold France "re sponsible for the serious consequences which may ensue," and requiring at the same time the "instant cessation of Napoleon' warlike preparations." This, as we have said, was the first sensational dispatch, which was im mediately followed by others, deflnito and in definite, announcing the sudden march of Prussian troops to the frontier, and a general warlike hullabaloo which almost lod poople U imagine that before another day the Prus sians would be- in Paris, the French in Berlin, and the Dutch in Holland. Not till Friday last were we abW to tell the foundation for this initial terrible. telegram. The Berlin letter in the Herald of that date Bevvals the secret. The writer of the letter was the author of the despatch. And how did he acquire his diplomatic knowledge on such an immense question of Btato f Did it oome from the irascible "Count" who wrote the belligerent note, or from the Emperor Who received it f Was it reached through a keyhole or by a subterranean telegraph, or from Bismark's footman or the King's fool T "The source," says the author, "from which this startling piece of news is derived, is one which I have always found well Informed, and to which in this Instance I cannot help attach ing still more weight, as it tallies with what I have heard in other quarters." The source, we are further led to understand, is "an ac quaintance of mine, who is on an intimate foot ing with Bismark," who, moreover, is an "en thusiastic patriot," and who has various other characteristics which make it very likely that he is just the precise and particular person whom Bismark would intrust with state secrets. The correspondent, however,' Inad vertently weakens our belief in the authen ticity of his awful news, by subsequently alleging that not only the "highest political circles" refuse to credit such things, but that even the "King and Crown Prince" are opposed to them the King having, as we are assured, a "vivid recollection" of all the history of Prussia, which the correspondent proceeds to narrate in a manner which makes it certain that none but the "King" himself, while under the influence of lager beer, could have furnished the facts. It was, then, this pre posterous despatch, from this ridiculous "source" a source so well known to some of our newspaper correspondents which was Hashed across the Atlantic Ocean, startled half of America, and created a panic among the "shorts" in gold I After this stunning affair, there came for a series of days masses of cloudy despatches which were portentous as the "war cloud" itself; but the next really fearful and positively definite thing reached the American continent a week after the first, or on the 19th April. It was dated "Berlin, April 18 Evening," and excitedly set forth the report that Napoleon was strengthening his forces and military posts on the frontier, and placing his artillery on a war footing; that large numbers of ambulances (subsequently corrected to horses) were being purchased, and that the French reserves of 1808 were presently to be called out. This seemed to put out of question all doubt about the coming Franco-Prussian war. The Em peror had "got his back up" as well as Bis mark; and now let the world look out for the clash of "mighty opposites." No wonder that after this we learned every day that "war now seems imminent," that "war is now regarded as almost certain," eto. etc. 1 Now, what was the "source of this start ling Berlin despatch of the "18th, evening," which was suddenly shot hot over to the American continent 1 In the New York Times of last Friday there will be found among our European extracts a letter of the Paris cor respondent of the London Times, dated the 12th of April, in which are contained the de tails, word for word, of all this Berlin news. Now, if this news was so important and authentio that it had to be projected over here when the "war panio" in Wall street was its height, why was it held back in Europe for a week ? and how came it to be sent on the 18th instead of the 12th, and from Berlin instead of from London, where it was first published? The English correspondent who first gave this news to the European public, derived it, as he tells us, "from a private letter of a person in position (which I prefer not alluding to more particularly) not far from the frontier." The "source" in this instance is of the most mysterious possible character; but spill we consider it as much more trustworthy than the "source" of the first belligerent despatch, as the news is less ridiculous in one than in the other. It is neither possible nor is it worth while to enter into an investigation of the "source" of all the Cable despatches that were published during the late severe war panio. fl'Ur.t.r. ,n Voir a OTinl-on rx( uraya tor ilia rvinot important in themselves, and produced the most profound sensation and the heaviest pecuniary losses here. Many of the others, especially the harrowing "specials" given by some of our contemporaries, needed only to be looked at to be laughed at. We have no doubt that, in case of the next war in Europe, parties who are interested in the accuracy of their Cable despatches will scrutinize them more intelligently than the Wall street gudgeons have done those of the last fortnight. The Approaching Prealdentlal Contest Air, ttewaid' Uetlremeut. From the Berald. Mr. Seward has returned to Washington and the cares of state from his semi-annual visit to his quiet home at Auburn. Heretofore this pilgrimage has been marked a9 a publio event in a speech on the political situation, and in a reading of the politrcal horoscope to his neigh bors by the learned Secretary. On this occa sion there has been no speech, no demand for one, and no disappointment anywhere from the omission, because "the Governor" has ceased to speak as one having authority, ne has fallen from grace as a party leader, and has lost his prestige as a prophet. He read3 in "the Book of Chronicles" that his political career is ended, and he bows to the decree of fate. Thus, ceasing to be a candidate for the Presidency, he has no more speeches to make on political affairs, no more party favors to ask, nor frowns to fear, no pipe to lay, no in structions to give; nothing, in short, to do but to put hie house in order for the evening of his days. We learn that Mn Seward has decided to re tire from publio life as soon as the Southern States are represented in Congress, or, at the latest, with the present Administration. He wisely considers the Presidential succession a foregone conclusion, so far as he is oonoemed, and, therefore, he withdraws, after quietly dis missing all his followers, even to his faithful Sancho and his lamenting good man Friday, lie has no further use for them, and bo, like Adam and Eve, they have "all the world before them where to choose." But what an instructive example of disappointed ambition is here I ' Like Clay, Calhoun, Webster, and others, Mr. Seward has devoted himself through many years of hopes deferred to that one grand object of aspiring politicians, the White House. Clay, with all hU honors and all his achievements, died a disappointed man as I a Iwioe defeated oan.ildatt before the people for the Presidency. Calhoun, soured by the terrible consequences of the wrath of Old Hickory, finished his career in plots and movements looking to a Southern Confederacy; and Webster, like Douglas, after serving the Southern wing of his party In the cause of slavery, never recovered from the shock -of Boo thern ingratitude, as made mani fest in the noinniation of Ueneral Bcott. In deed, there would seem to be no limit to the revenge of a man cheated out of what he claims ns his right to the While House. Thug, Van Buren, who claimed a Second term, be came as spiteful in being tricked out of it as was Calhoun in being superseded by Van Buren as the anointed heir to ther snooessioir, and thus Tyler and Fillmore, in their nmbi" tion t get a term on, their own acoount, be-, came aa unmanageable as Calhoun or .Van Buren. To poor Pierce the White House was so much clear gain, and so, even for one term,' he justly thought he had cause to be not only astonished, but thankful. As for Buchanan, after thirty years of intrigues with and humi liations before the Southern slave oligarchy for the honors and powers vt the Presidency, we daro say that his four Presidential -vttn.ru of fear and trembling tinder the rule of Jetf.. JJavis, Lobb, ployd, Thompson, Gwin, Mason, and Slidell have made it infinitely worse for him than it would have been had ho been re jected like Calhoun, or defeated like Cass. Mr. Seward, thereforo, in failing to reach the Presidency, may console himself with the reflection that, though his record as a disap pointed aspirant is not so grand and glorious as that of Clay, it is (Russian America) not so birren of substantial fruits as that of Calhoun jr Webster. Nay, more; he ought to be grate ful that, in escaping the responsibilities of Buchanan, he has escaped his humiliation and disgrace to say nothing of Andrew Johnson. Philosophy is a good thing under irreparable losses of any kind, and Mr. Seward is not only a philosopher, but an optimist. Alexander Pope had it that "whatever is, is right;" but our happy-minded Secretary has it that "whatever is, though it may be wrong, is the best." Leaving him in the full enjoyment of this dogma, we are called to inquire what be comes of the Seward faction of New York with his retirement from the political field ? There is nothing remaining of this faction to damage even a town election. It ha? nearly all melted away and disappeared. What is left of it, like the silver-grey clique of the old Whig party, and the Brooks detachment of the old Know-Nothing party, will probably be absorbed in the omnium gatherum of the forlorn Democracy. With the retirement of Mr. Seward the fierce animosities and faction fights that have fol lowed the dissolution of the firm of Seward, Weed, and Greeley ought to end. The chief organizer of the Republican party is pretty much in the condition of the chief organizer of the Irish Republic he has (barring Russian America) nothing but his disappointments, his mistakes, and his failures to leave to his dis ciples. There need not, then, be any trouble touching the succession of the prophet's man tle. Mr. Weed may take it and sport it in the halls of the Manhattan Club; or Mr. Raymond may hold it aloft, like the trowsers of Maho met, among the sachems ef Tammany, and it will do no harm. As the Israelites wandered about forty years in the wilderness befor they were permitted to enter the Promised Land, bo the New Yorkers have for forty years, more or less, been travelling behind the banner of Seward, the fife and drum of Thurlow Weed, and the ghost of Morgan. Let us rejoice that, with Mr. Seward's retirement from the camp, we shall have a fair field and a new departure for the Presidential succession. A NEW BUSINESS. HELPING LADIES TO HUSBANDS BY CONTRACT. Three men, Fred, and William Edwards, and Griffin, were arraigned in the Chicago Police Court on Saturday morning last, when the following singular statements and explana tion were made: "Drunk and disorderly, your Honor.' They were also charged with being vagrants. The officer swore that he had known them by sieht over a year, and that thev had no visible means of support. hey were af wavs well dressed, however. Mr. Fred. Edwards spoke: "These two gentlemen and myself are the firm of Edwards & Giitho. I regret that I cannot tell you our business. We will be sent to the Bridewell if I don't? Very well, sir, your curiosity shall be gratified. We are proposers. By that I mean we propose to young ladies and help to get them married. We are benefactors. When we see a youne lady who is not, and never has been engaged, one of us says to her: 'We will get you married lor $, payable after marriage.' Ot oour.e she sayu yes. For the time being one or us is considered as engaged to her. We trumpet the fact abroad. Whenever the other two of us meet ft youne man w bo Is not engaged, we say: 'What a lucky dogUriffin is! He has won Miss X.' And we praise her. We encourage tbe young man to go in and cut Griffin out, for the fun of the thing. Being a fool, like most young men, he docs it. He pro poses to Miss X., knowing that she is engaged to Griffin, and hardly expecting that she will accept him. But she always does. And be can never cut loose lrom her. Ho must marry her or be tried for breach of promise. I myself have been engaged twenty-five times during the last year. We are doing so woll that we think of hiring a cleric to do part of the work for us. I should not have told you this but for your atrocious threat aoout Bridewell. But, as we have given false Dames, it does not make much ditlerenee. 1 trut that the reporters will say nothing about it." NEW PUBLICATIONS.
