Thb New Yoik World in aa artiole under this caption, takes the position that since the peace of NikoL burg a serious check was ad ministered to Prussia by France. "The peatu of NikolBburg," Bay our contemporary, 'was the work mainly of France." We should litca to see some authorities given in suppirt of this. "How seiious a oliMik wa administered to the ambition of Prussia Karop is only just beginning to appreciate. It is true thit for the gravity of the consequences which have since developed themselva from that peaae the vehemenoe and obduraoy of the Prussian Gov ernment In attempting to iguore the state of things created by that peace, must be largely held responsible." Now what are the oonse- ; qnenoes which have sine- dvelopid them selves f We know for certain, although osir ; contemporary makes no mention of this fact, that since that peaoe Prussia, in addition to the territory acquired by the late war, has succeeded in ob taining the command of the Southern Ger jran armies. Thin, of itst-lf is equivalent, to another victory. What las Frauce gained? We are told that the iullu-uoe of PrussU, or rather to use the writers' own words, "The mistakes," as he calls them, without, however, specifying what these mistakes of Prussia are, "might perhaps have been easily killed had the liuiparor Nip pon permitted himself to be carried away either last year or the year before by thj iull aeuoe of the great events in Germany up iu the popular feeling in France." Exicly so. We think the reasou why the Kuaperor Nap-deou did not permit himself to be carried away, is generally con ceived to be Buffioi-ntly obvious. It is uui versally admitted that France was not in a condition to risk a war with Prussia at the period to which our couteiup rary refers. Tue Chasseput ri lit) was just bring introduced; TrnsBia had shown wht her army could do with the needle-guu. Agiin, we know for certain that France met with a decile! rebulF in the refusal of the Ilheuish provinces. Tuis period, it will be admitted, is the most impor tant one. France had just been repulse i in Mexico, or if not repulsed, had accepted oar invitation to leave the couutry. The result is Well known. We are surprised that the writer oerlookel another obvious fact, uules.s lie is sAtuft-il thtt Napoleon can commit m errors. Why did not Louis Napoleon a-ssist AuUria ? lijoausei as lias been admitted by Ufa frieu Is, with Strong reasons for bolieviug it, Napoleon him self said He did not for a moment bilieve that the Austrians would be otherwise than suc cessful. We could scarcely forbear froji smil ing at what we must beg pardon for calling the simplicity of the writer, who gravely tells na that, "fortunately for himself, and for France, and it may well bo for Germany also, he has since had the firmness to adhere to the policy of patitnee, foibeaiauoe, etc." A good reason may, we think, be assigned for all this. When the war between Prussia and Austria broke out, Napoleon took a posi tion similar to that which Iago laid out f jr himself in the memorable fiht that was to come off between Roderigo and Cassio: "If Roderigo kill Cassio or if Cassio kill Roderigo in either case I shall benefit from the result, for a war between two such g,reat powers must necessarily result in great exhaustion to both. I shall then step in and help myself to a slice of territory on the Rhine." We doubt whether Louis Napoleon was ever more dis appointed in the whole course of his life, the Bolongne and Strasbourg expeditious always excepted, as at the wonderful success of Prussia. We do not justify Prussia for attaokisg Denmark, but the conduct of Austria was no better. The reference to Belgium does not help our New York friend in the least. All speculations as to an alliance with Kuglaud on this ques tion are mere surmises. Even if such an arrangement be effected, it would prautioally amount to but little, for England is not in a condition to go to war. S he would never have remained quiet and allowed Denmark to be dismembered had she been in warlike trim. Her power of interference in Europeau affairs is gone, and Lord Stanley's recent and rather ostentatious declaration was passed by un heeded by such a powerful nation as Prussia just now undoubtedly is, as if it had been uttered by a third or fourth-rate power. We think, therefore, that the conclusion arrived at by our contemporary, "that history will give the palm of practical statesmanship during the critical period which has elapsed fcince the thunder-storm of July, 18G6, to the head of the BoDapartes, rather than to the right hand of the HoheDzollern," is erroneous. Wish Pbkcautions. The Sanitary Committee cf the Board of Health on Wednesday reported in favor of the appointment of two inspectors, whose duty it should be to visit the drove yards of our city and examine all the cattle Lronght to our market. This is a wise pre' caution. Already there is becoming preva lent a foeliDg of uneasiness which is nst warranted by the clrcuinstauces, but which can only be allayed by the assnranoe that the people can have none of the diseased cattle sold to them by reason of official protection. The money txpendud in this matter is wU laid out, and if it gives ooufi lence and also prevents danger, the people will not complain i double the sum be spent. Have We Been Economical? It is the grand key-note of the Democratic party to shout in favor of eoonomy, and to obarge the Republican party with extrava gance. They know full well that there is something peculiarly pleasing in the orr o "retrenchment and reform," and they do not hesitate to make what capital they can out of it, whether they are entitled to it or not. The fact that they are out of office gives them peculiar opportunities to indulge in this ory. Let us see, however, how in our own State the Republican administration have adminis tered the finances, whether during their oon tinnance in power the debt has been increased or diminished, and what sort of an aocouut we can give the people of our ste wardshi p. A number of figures are furnished in the Slate Guard, which serve as a basis ou which to show how we have managed the nuances of the Commonwealth. For many years pre vious to 18G0 the Democratlo pirty hid the control of the State. Nsither Whigs nor.Rs pnblicans had been in power. Under these successive administrations the debt hal amounted to an enormous figure, so that on the 1st of November, 18 JO, Wore Governor Cortin's inauguration, it had reached $'37, !)10,847'50. For eight years the state was in the hands of our political friends, and on the 1st of August, 18(JS, the debt was reduced to :S3,l!l,6:i7-47; or an actual release given to the peopfc of Four Millions Tuber Huhihud akd Eighteen Thousand Two Hundred and Ten Dollars. But not only was the debt reduced but taxation wa3 also. The following figures show how much: The net amount crjnrRonhln to the ci mules auiuial y In lstil, 1801, and mi wits Sl.0j7.3ll 31 'J'Lie bet. amount coHigetitiie inilij r tiuliei muuslly lu isOO, lSG7,aud LOS 3H 222 1ft Annual reduction fcl.Jil.WU II Add lli- Htiiiiuul l t t-tn reduced, from November 30. I8ii, to Augus'. 1. 1808 fil 318 215 01 And we show a reduction of taxa tion htxl debt, la Iims than elitiit jtxrs.t'CcoiuiillHtitd ijy llieltuub lUou pin ty, of. 85.001 392 07 But highly creditable as this seems, it does not yet give the full meed due to our party. The circumstances under which this reduction was accomplished were peculiarly unfavorable. Through the allies of the Democracy we were ULtltrgoiug a fearful and extensive civil war. Vast additional burdens, extraordinary with the occasion which called for them, were in curred. The resources of the States were crippled, and the sources from which profit Hows were choked up. The war expenses from December, ISOO, to August, 18G8, wen $5,040,702-74. Had we not had this war, we would have reduced the sum of our indebt edness that much more. So that in the eight years we would have paid off and relieved the people of nine million nine hun dred and sixty-seven thousand niue hundred and twelve dollars and seventy-seven cents of debt. Can we not with pride point to this record of our economy, and ask the shouting Demoorats, hungry for the spoils of olliie, "where can you show such a balance sheet?" If the Republican administration is continued for eight years longer we can safely promisu that ten millions of the deb1, will be dimin ished. Shall we, then, now change the hands, and let loose on the Treasury a strong and vo racious crew, who will undo all the good that years of economy have done ? On n Taste for Headings Tug old adage, "Tell me what friends you keep, and I will tell you what sort of man you are," can be paralleled by one which asks what books you read, and then from the answer prtsumes what manner of man you are. That was, indeed, the triumph of mind over matter, when Cadmus, the inventor o letters, discovered the noble art of arresting so subtle, volatile, and invisible a thing as thought, and imparted to it an existence moie durable thau that of brass or marble. The feeliDg which a man of liberal educa tion naturally entertains towards the gre.t minds who have written imperishable books, has been bo eloquently stated by one who has himself left works which are likely to exist as loDg as the English language itself, that we cannot forego the pleasure of transcribiug this writer's remarks: "The debt which he owes to them is incalculable. They have guided him to truth. They have filled his miud with noble and graceful images. They have stool by him in all vicissitudes comforters in sor row, nurses in sickness, companions in soli tude. These friendships are exposed to no danger from the occurrences by which other attachments are weakened or dissolved. Time glides by; fortune is inconstant; tempers are soured; bonds which seem indissoluble are daily sundered by interest, by emulation, or by caprice. But no Buch oause can affect the eilent converse which we hold with the high est of human intellects. That placid inter course is disturbed by no jealousies or resent ments. These are the old friends who are never seen with new faces: who are the same in wealth and in poverty, in glory and in ob scurity. With the dead there is no change. Plato is never sullen. Cervautes is never petu lant. Demosthenes never comes unseason ably. Dante never stays too long. No differ ence of political opinion cau alienate Cicero. No heresy cau excite the horror of Bjssuet." It is no detriment to the noble writer whom we have just quoted, to say that the Bame thoughts can be found in one of our particular favorites, Montaigne. It detracts not iu the slightest degree from his originality, for old Montaigne got his ideas from the ancients, an 1 the modern writer has merely expanded the sense ,of the Frenchman. How true is every line I and how the advantage is shown to be possessed by those who read the bast produc tions of all ages, to the ephemeral trash which the Minerva press is constantly producing in such abnndauce. Charles Lamb said, in his own quaint, delightful way: "At tho hazard of loairjg some credit, I must confess that I dedi cate no inconsiderable portion of my time to other people's thoughts. I dream away my life in others' speculations. I love to see myself in other men's minds. When I am not walklDg I am reading. I cannot sit and think; books think for me." It must bs ad mitted that such a course will suit many who can read and think too; but of the numerous class who only read worthless fiction, such a life is almost useless. We know many who read novels by the cart load, and yet remem ber nothing. They read only for pastime. It is Shakespeare's comparison of pouring water into a sieve. Good old Charles Lamb was only indulging iu his nitsch'evous vein when he said he oould not think he was right in saying that he had no repugnances, but he bad for all that. It almost provokes us that he did not like Byron; be must even quote Shakespeare's liue to confirm his distaste : "I love yon not, my Lord Biron; but why stop to point out spots on the sun." Honest, admirable Lamb I His care for his parents, bis noble devotion to his sister, hid essays in more than one respect unequalled, his genuine taste for literature 1 Then his com panions I Who ever tires of thiuking of such friends as Coleridge, Uazlitt, Wordsworth. Hood, and Talfourd f What memories do such names coDjure up I Then we too remember that if we had not their personal acquaintance that their works are as well kuowu in this country as iu Eoglaol. How every sorap of theii writings and letters has been treasured ! It is by the fetndy of such authors as these that a genuine, wholesome love for literature is attained. This is part of the company that the late Mr. Thackeray recommends his young fiieuds to keep. Keep the best oorapany. By that phrase he meant, read the best authors. Do not imagine you oan always obtain access to such company. You niUft early have been introdnced to them, if you imagine that you can plod at money-making up to a certain age and then Bit down to enjoy such acquaintances You may find too late that the taste for such society is wanting. It is only by cultivating this faculty at the age "when the heart pro mised what the fancy drew," that a store of pleasure is laid up which lasts for life, a peren nial Eource which will never fail. Tiik Plot Hatciif.:. As we stated yester day, the gathering of railroad (?) men at the bite Sulphur Springs meant mischief. Sj then has that statement been confirmed. General Rosecrans, an obedient slave of the President, acts as carrier, to briDg to the Democrats at Washington the soothing address of their brethren of the South to the agitated minds of the Northern people. We now pre dict that it will paint the condition of that sec tion in glowing colors. Peace, fraternal feeling, and growiDg prosperity are the blessings showered on the South. War ! Insurreotion ! Murders I Preposterous! there are nothing of the kind, and as to uniting by the bayonet the State governments, such an idea is not entertained. Let us see if this is not the tone of the address.
