THE OXFORD AND HARVARD RACE.
From the K. Y. Time.
A cable despatch has told us that the matoh
between the two champion amateur boat
clubs of England and Amerloa is really mvie;
and as It so happuns that these champion
amateurs reprepent two Illustrious oollegafl,
the race itself will exeite an interest far greater
thaneonld any possible straggle of profes
sional oarsmen. .
The Harvard challenge has three times been
lent within two yeas in different forms; and
as Oxford was unwilling to make a match in
TOlrlng the two different styles of rowing,
point after point was oonceded, until now the
race has been arranged wholly on the Oxford
plan. Undoubtedly, at the start, no Buoh race
was contemplated by our oarsmen. Harvard
has about 600 under-graduates to choose a
crew from, Oxford and Cambridge eaoh from
2000 to i!500, and the latter average two or
three years older. What the Harvard Club
orig!nally proposed was to test their plan of
Steering without coxswains against the Oxford
plan of pulling with coxswains. They there
fore desired that eaoh crew should pull the
raoe In its own way, and on its own system;
but at lost they yielded everything. It is
generally believed that, under the present
conditions, Harvard has almost no chanoe to
win, more especially as its new crew have
never till now rowed together at all, while the
"Oxford four" have pulled together in races
for years; but that our American oollege will
do itself oredit, in spite of all odds, is beyond
question; and in conquering it Oxford will
jlave no trivial task.
In any case, the sympathies of our country
men will go with Harvard, and even the
many orews they have so often successfully
met in friendly rivalry, believing them to be
worthy representatives of Amerioan non
professional oarsmanship, will send good
Irishes with them. A single exception, how
ever, is the Tribune's London correspondent,
Who appears to carry juvenile grudges into
inaturer life, and who characteristically tries
to counteract the praise the London papers
Lave given to the Harvard proposal to row
their English oousins in their own waters and
cm their own terms. "The viotory of our
Harvard friends," he writes, "should they
Win It, will be considerably less splendid
than a victory by a crew of eight; but their
chance of winning in a four is beyond ques
tion greater a good eight is the culmination
ef all the soienoe and art there is in row
ing." And again: "The viotory would not be
accepted a decisive," for "the university
whioh has the best eight has necessarily the
jfcest four. Harvard must, therefore, be pre
pared to find the contest they propose con
sidered as an incomplete trial of strength."
This desire to deny laurels cot yet won, and
laurels contended for under such hopeless
odds, is sharply rebuked by our contempora
ries. The llerald pertinently asks why a
'good eight" is the "culmination of rowing"
more than a good "six." The American col
leges pnll six oars, and yet Harvard consented
last year (having a more praotisei crew than
the present) to row Oxford in an eight-oared
boat. The World adds that Oxford and Cam
bridge have "four or five times as many un
dergraduates to choose their oarsmen from"
as Harvard. Even DelVs Life thinks it rather
bard that Harvard, unused to such looal diffi
culties and obstructions, should have to row
the Putney conrse; but the Tribune correspon
dent remarks that "Harvard is olearly right
about that." However, this genial and gene
rous writer need not worry there is little
doubt that Harvard will be beaten in the un
equal contest. However, if, with a crew
thought thus far to be less perfeot than those
Of two years preceding, Harvard makes a
good show against the first team of four that
Oxford ever turned out, on their waters and
on their terms, perhaps a return visit another
year may give a better fortune to the gallant
adventurers.
A CHECK TO PRUSSIA.
. From the y. Y. JleraltL
Many have been the reports circulated by
the European press in referenoe to the magni
tude of the warlike preparations at present
being carried out by Prussia, or virtually by
Count Bismark. Hundreds of men are em
ployed in removing trees around the fortifica
tions and preparing everything for a case of
emergency. Moreover, the King of Prussia is
to go on a tour of inspection to the northern
seaports about the middle of the present
month, from whenoe he will probably visit
the fortified towns along the Rhine. All these
precautions cannot have esoaped the watchful
eyes of interested neighbors, especially after
the publication of Count Blsmark's ideas re
specting the future form to be adopted by the
map of Europe. The city of Mayenoe
is a strong point, and lately has been
particularly favored with the Premier's
attention; in tact, from reports current we
are led to presume that it is at pre
sent ocoupied on a scale equal to that of
a war footing by Prussian soldiers, and the
consequenoe is that Franoe and Austria are
determined to find out what this means.
Basing their demand upon the cession of the
principality of Hesse to the North German
Confederation, thy ink by what right Prussia
Occupies the fortress of Mayenoe. Bhould this
question be enforced, we may antioipate that
stronger arguments tksu diplomacy will be
brought forward by Bismark, wbirh may tend
to kindle the firebrand of war now evidently
pending in Europe. Such is the dreal of an
early struggle that merchants in Europe re
fuse toclose forward contracts for the purchase
and delivery of goods, whioh must necessarily
be very detrimental to the general interests,
causing a prejudicial ell'dot both to the labor
ing classes and to the capitalists. Count Bis
mark has proved himself an able statesman,
and has doubtless given the matter due con
sideration before entering upon his programme;
but in his endeavors to aggrandize his fattier
land he must not forget the difference existing
between the kingdom of Prussia and the North
German Confederation.

seem difficult at the outcet; but Salmon P. I
Chase in the Treasury did not hesitate to face
that diffioultv, and it is every way better that j
U. Ttnvalf ahnnlil not.
Are we to maroh straight on to national sol
vency and a reduction of the Interest on our
national debt f This is the practical question.
Mr. Boutwell has a bounteous revenue, and a
larger surplus than any Finance Minister of an
indebted government evr carried from year
to year as has here been done. Our war debt
was, for the most part, wisely, and with etates
manlike foresight, so funded that, though the
Government need not pay it till it had run
twenty years, it might pay it after five years.
The purpose was avowed and palpable to
enable the Treasury, after peace, to fa ml at a
lower rate of interest. Yet tbe five years have
expired on many millions of the debt, and we
are still paying six per cent, thereon. It is a
shame that we do it a confession of impotence
and defeat. A great, honest, unselfish finan
cier in the Treasnry, unless thwarted by Con
gress, should have so managed that every one
of these Five-twenties, the moment the five
years elapsed, would have been converted into
a five per cent, running ten years, or a four
per cent, running forty or fifty years. We
think Mr. MoCulloch is a good deal richer and
the country far poorer than if this had been
accomplished.
Mr. Boutwell can so manage the national
finances that capitalists shall be soliciting as
a favor, that we sell them short five per cents,
or long fours at par, and allow them to con
vert their five-twenties into a four per cent,
consol or a short five, rather than compel
them to take the gold for thir bonds, on which
the five years' option has matured or is ma
turing. To do this, he has but to make gold
plenty and bonds scarce. The means are in
his hands; has he the ability and the nerve to
use them steadily, firmly, persistently 7 We
believe he has: and in that faith trust that he
will make few proclamations of his doubts or
his purposes, but act.
TIIE SKELETON "AT TIIE FEAST.
From the X. Y. World.
The Egyptians used to parade a skeleton at
their feasts, possibly as a hint of what every
guesi wouia come 10 wuen tue meat was gone,
and certainly as reminder that the gayest,
most nuarious nours nave tneir drawbacks
In like manner, it may be permitted to at
least one paper while the whole country is

national work, the Paeltb Railroad to tone
down the general enthusiasm by showing that.
great as this enterprise is, it is by no means
ine "Dig ining" it is made appear on paper,
and that serious obstacles interpose to prevent
that success whioh saDguine people look for
at the very opening of the road. Those who
expect to see the silks and teas of China and
Japan and the mineral wealth of the Pacific
slope coming by this highway in untold
quantities this summer, and the coal of
Pennsylvania and the cotton fabrics of
Rhode Island going to the far West by the
same means, will be Badly mistaken. There
is great danger of our over-estimating the
freight traffio to be done by this road, and for
the following reasons: At the start, we con
cede all honesty in the expenditures for and
the equipment of the road. No doubt, the
projectors, builders, and directors have done
all they promised, perhaps all they proposed.
But the construction of the road has been
hasty and necessarily ninny, and it has but
one traok. For hundreds of miles this single
track runs through a wilderness, which would
be a howling one if there were anything to
howl at, and the rails are laid over the other
wise trackless waste, where the first rude set
tlements are yet to be established before the
Poet-Laureate of the West can sing:
"There the red Inilian once took his delight,
There lit und bled;
Now the Inhabitiint.s is mostly white,
With liury red."
Consequently, it dees not need even a rail
road man to see that sack a road through
suoh a region will waste an enormous propor
tion of its power in running itself. Double
track roads in oivilized and settled seotions
and all railroads whioh pretend to do a pay
ing business are doubled-tracked have wood,
water, machine shops, locomotive stations,
and general material to refit at proper inter
vals along the route, and, in common phrase,
"everything is handy," meaning literally at
hand. But this road, running through the
wilderness and over wastes, must expend
a great deal of its power in oonveying men
and materials for repairs fromne point to
another, in some places even in carrying
wood and water, and henoe will be unable
to utilize itself to any great extent for
other purposes. If we should reckon the
power of a double-traok road in a favorable
locality at 80 parts out of 100, the power
in proportion of this single-track road
aoross the continent would not be more
than 5 or 6 parts out of 100. The rest
would be watted on itself in carrying men
and materials for its own repairs, and wood
and water for its own consumption. So that
we need not look at the present oertainly not
till two tracks are laid, and they in the most
substantial manner ior the wealth of India
and China and the riches of the West to bs
brought over the track now laid. Two traoks
are necessary to make the joad eiUoient for
freight traffio. Even then the rates of freight
will necessarily be so high that we can ex
pect only the transport by this route of bul
lion and costly articles for which there may
be a pressing demand, while for many
years to oome, perhaps till several roads
cross the oonntry to the Paoifio, the bulk of
thtse things, as now, will come by sea. That
there will be a lively passenger trade over the
new track, especially during the coming
summer, and in spite of the high fares, there
is no douV- Curiosity and the spirit of
speculation will draw many men from 'the
East to the far West by this road. But the
first snow will check even this tide of travel.
which will tbea be attended by many discom
forts and much danger; and the amount of
ireigut brought or carried over the entire
length of the line for the few coming months
will be quite inconsiderable. We do not write
theee words to diD&raue the srreat work.
which was so well begun and has bsen so suc
cessfully concluded, nor to dishearten thoHa
who have full faith that the road needed but
to be opened to fulfil at once all that they
hoptd or dreamed. But it is well enough to
state the actual situation pretty muoh as it
really is, and to anticipate the howls of dis
appointment whioh some of the most san
guine believers in this scheme will be sure to
set up next November.

officious sympathy with Spain which would deserve
1 ho fit erni Ht condemnation of the Amcricau people.
JV. 1. Hun.
W must illuminate ths Sun I
Th re Is no sympathy in the United States
for the Spanish government of Cuba, and ne
likelihood of any. An admirer of General
Daloe would be a diffioult person to fiud
among the citizens of this country. It is
therefore easy and safe, so far as popular
approval goes, to denounce Spanish rule in
Cuba.
The Cuban insurgents need arms and men.
There is no legal obstacle against their pur
chasing as muoh of the former in this market
as they can pay for, and even more, provided
they can get credit. Our manufactories and
warehouses are wide open to them. And no
Federal officer has a right to prevent the
shipment of these arms, or stop their de
parture, unlesp, by combination with persons
or things, they rise to the consequenoe of "a
military expedition or enterprise." Collector
Orinnell cannot refuse the clearance of a
vessel for Cuba merely because she has arms
on board. He can only detain a vessel mani
festly built for war purposes, laden principally
with arms or munitions of war, when he is
satitlied she is to be employed against a friendly
power.
There is no law either to prevent as many
men as see fit from leaving this country
voluntarily, unhired, unengaged, and unen
listed on our soil, to fight against Spain or
any other foreign country. During our own
war, the Government tried to stop citizens
from going away to avoid the draft. But now,
anybody can expatriate himself who chooses
bo to do, and carry a gun, a sword, a dagger,
or a 300-pounder with him. There is no pos
sible municipal or international difficulty in
Mr. Dana mounting his velocipede to-morrow,
and, with a first-class Parrott gun iu his coat
tail pocket, skimming across the waters to the
aid of General Ceepedes or General Duloe. It
is not a crime for Mr. Dana to leave this coun
try with intent to enlist in a foreign military
service, nor to transport persons out of the
port of New York on his velooipede.with their
consent, who have an intention of so enlist
ing. It is a crime, however, to hire or enlist
persons, or to be hired or enlisted, in the United
States to go abroad with a purpose to serve
foreigners in war.
The fact of insurrection or no insurrection
does not ohange the law or the obligations of
neutral powers. Nor is an illegal enterprise
or expedition, starting in fraud or violation
of neutral lawa, made legal by sailing for an
intermediate port like St. Thomas. Mr.
Train is perfectly correct in saying that wha,
it was criminal for the l-Vnians to do in re
aped to Canada, it is equally criminal for the
moan insurgents in JNew lork to do in re
spect to Spain.
But while it is quite legal for citizens to de
part from the United States under the restric
tions we have laid down, either singlv or in
numbers, organized or unorganized, for mili
tary aid ot the insurrection, they must re
member that they thereupon cease to be en
titled to the pro'ection of the Government
they leave behind if caught by General Duloe
as combatants. And it u of just this that
General Grant ought to admonish all persons.
If a hundred young men from this city leave
to-morrow, in a legal manner, for Cuba, and
are captured on the island while assisting
the tebellion, by the Spanish forces, does
Grant intend to in'ervene and save them from
the cmelties of war ? If he does not, then he
Bhould say so by proclamation.
OUR BILL AGAINST ENGLAND THE WAY
TO SETTLE IT.
From the X. Y. .S'ioi.
There are indications in various quarters
that Great Britain is sounding pablio opinion
on the subjeit of settling the Alabama claiois
by ceding to tne United btates some portion
of her North American territory. The visit
of Mr. Thornton, her Ambassador at Wash
ington, to the Canadas; the significant utter
ances of some of the provincial journals con
cerning the growing desire of portions of their
inhabitants for annexation to the American
Union; and the undisguised anxiety of the
Gladstone Ministry not only to avoid a rupture
with us, but even to stand well with the great
republio, all indicate the steady, though doubt
less slow, drift or the tide toward this peaceful
solution of our international difiioultie3.
Time was when England carried herself
with an arrogant and insulting air toward this
country. All that has disappeared. Her dis
mal failure as a military power in the Cri
mean war, and the gigantic force we exhibited
in our late conlliot, have brought her states
men to a very serious and salutary frame of
mind respecting the inevitable result of an
attempt on our part to conquer the Canadian
Dominion. The prompt and almost defiant
rejection of the Johnson-Stanley treaty has
taught England that we are in no mood to be
trilled with. She knows that there is no na
tion on earth with whom the masses of our
people, both at the North and at the South,
would so heartily go to war as with that
double dealing Government which, during the
Rebellion, deeply offended the North by pro
mising to do nothing while it did bo muoh,
and keenly disappointed the South by the
firomise to do muoh wbile in fact it did so
ittle. In a war, therefore, for a redress of
grievances, the North would delight to pun
ish England for her hypoorisy, while the
South would be eager to scathe her for her
treachery.
English statesmen are well aware that we
should not fight our main battle on the sea,
where her equality with us, possibly her
superiority over us, would be of avail to her,
but on tbe land, and right at our own doors,
where onr superiority both of resources and
of position would tell against her with tremen
dous odds. Of course we should not wholly
neglect the element where Farragut, Porter,
and their compeers won 'aurels; though our
iron clads would be chii lly employed in aiding
land batteries in defending our harbors and
coasts, while swift privateers wauld be cbasing
British merchantmen in whatever sea they
dared to unfurl the Union Jack. The great
contest, however, would be waged in the pro
vinces lying north of the bt. Lawrence and
east of the bt. Croix. In three months after
the commencement of hostilities, three armies,
eaoh numbering at least a buuirei thousand
men, would Invade Canada West and Canada
East, and New Brunswick, again&t neither of
which could ICugland bring half so heavy a
force in double the time. In a word, we should
overrun the British provinces, and hold every
strategic point there, ere the close of the first
summer's campaign. And lu such a contest,

be almost enfli jientto fill up armies which
would be led to victory by some of the bravest
omoers who fought in onr civil war.
So obvious is this that Eugland will never
drive us to arms to vindicate our rights and
punish her wrongs. The people of the United
States do not clamor for fighting, nor ask even
for an apology according to the sentimental
suggestion of Senator Sumner. They simply
want their pay. We would take it in oash,
but the British Chancellor of the Exchequer
