Tanns is a vngue idea in many minds that it onaM to l.e a part of our national policy to extend our boundaries m every direction Until we absorb tbe whole of the North Ame rican Continent and the adjacent islands, the propriety of annexing Month America being a Latter for future consideration. I his is the "manifest destiny" doctrine, which fortu nately has bocome a mania with but few, the majority being satisfied that we will get all we Imagine we ought to have in good time, and that we can accordingly afford to wait, only taking care to keep out intruders. Whether we would be benefited by the acquisition of f-rrilory to any great extent, is at least open to question. Our empire already includes the choicest section of the continent, that tem perate zone which experience hus amply proved !s l ost fitted for the most perfect development , r (ho human race; and but for the facilities , ! two possess for rapid intercommunication, y, i v extent of our dominion would be a - , C 1... c ("Si ; (,f difficulty, ami a source oi weakness m of strength. ... , it. . i i . There are some tilings aoom me minis Dlh 9 north and to the south of us which v.,iild make them desirable possessions, but ; ie 8re also objectionable features that per l. s more than counterbalance these. During iV.o liitcr years of his life Mr. Seward appears i have been bitten with the annexation uaaia; and although his performances in the .ay of gotting for us new territory were more ridiculed than praised, yet it is certain 1 hat hia ideas are in the main endorsed by probably a majority of the people of the country. Mr. Seward has just taken a trip across the continent on the Pacific ltailroad, and his ideas of boundless empire appear to have been enlarged by what ho saw. In a speech recently at Sacramento, ho reiterated his opinion that we were to preserve what we have, and add to it whatever may be properly annexed. Now, leaving the British provinces out of the question, we have Mexico, Cuba, and the West India Islands, upon which longing eyes have been often cast. Is it worth our while to gain those ? They will give us fertile coun tries, and with Cuba we will be able to con trol the sugar trade and have command of the Gulf; with Mexico we will get the silver and gold mines and other sources of wealth. These countries, however, are in the tropics, where white men cannot labor with effect, and where, in a comparatively few years, they degenerate in energy and vigor. They are already inhabited by turbulent races that have never been able to govern themselves or to dovelope their resources; and to keep these in subjection, at least until our political ascend ancy was secured by a large increase of the Anglo-Saxon race in their midst, would be a difficulty of the first magnitude. Our own territory presents all the varieties of soil and climate suitable for the most perfect development of the human race, and it is a serious question whether the ac quisition of new territory, especially to the south of us, would be more of an advantage than a disadvantage. At least, under existing circumstances, it does not seem worth while for us to make any movement towards the annexation of either Mexico or Cuba. There is a strong probability that the natural course of events will throw the latter into our hands, and then we may tako it and do our best to reform the abuses of the Spanish rule. On serious consideration, the only territo rial acquisitions that seem necessary or im portant are such as will give us the comni ind of the St. Lawrence river and the Gulf of Mexico. The mouth of the former is now under British control, and sound statesmanship points plainly to the expediency of our ob taining possession of one of its banks, at least, at as early a day as is practicable. Any over tures, therefore, that may come from the dissatisfied provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick ought to recoive attention and encouragement. We also need a strong naval fetation in the West Indies, that will enable us to control the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. The need of such a station was severely felt during the Rebellion, and in event of a foreign war our deficiency in this respect would be even more plainly demonstrated. Beyond these two points it iscertainly doubt ful whether we require any now territory, and we can at least afford to wait until our neigh bors are ready to come to us of their own accord. "Manifest destiny" is a very capti vating watchword, but the practical ex pediency of our absorbing the whole conti nent presents some doubtful points that are entitled to consideration. NO no OM FOll "ONE MORE." It has passed into a proverb that "there is always room for one more" in an American u"""" VI CUV liahKpllrrnr v,. il..... vt Other civilized people on the face of the earth would peacefully submit, for a day, to the in convenience and suffering which How from the practical application of this doctrine. In several European countries the number of passengers is strictly restricted to the number of Seats, and railway companies cannot vio late this rule without subjecting themselves to an action for damages. In Philadelphia the custom prevails of crowding into a car as many persons as it can possibly hold, aud some of the conductors have become so ex pert in tHe art of packing human beings closely together that they could have fur , jifiticd instructive hints to the old slave-ship captains who invented the horrors of the middle passage. It is well known that at cer tain hours of the day on various routes the ordinary car accommodations are lamentably deficient, but it seems to be the settled poliey of the companies to persistently refuse tt in crease the number of cars at such period. They nppcnr to r-ly upon ovorcrowding at these times for increased profits, and to cal culate confidently upon extracting dividends from the misery of , thoir customers. It costs them no more for "horse, feed," horses, drivers, and conductors whon they carry sixty passengers than whon they carry twenty, and the extra sum derived from the forty unfortunate victims who are jammed together in the most uncomfortable attitudes affords a margin for profit which they eagerly clutch. The conductor continues to cry out, "Crowd up there," "Make more room," "Step forward," and to announce to anxious in quirers at the crossings, "Plenty of room in side," at times when the horses are staggering under a load too heavy for their strength, and when dozens of sick or delicate persons in the cars or on the platform are g.isping for breath, or Buffering acutely from fatigue. The whole thing is an outrage on the good nature and genial feeling of the public. They submit to the overcrowding because they wish to accommodate those who desire to become fellow-passengers, and in cases of emergency the average American is always willing to display courtesy of this nature; but it is infamous for the companies to spoeulato npon this generous feeling, and to systemati cally charge full faro for a square foot of standing-room, at hours, times, and places when they know that the prevailing habits will inevitably lead to an ovorcrowding of thoir cars. , The first signal for a systematic assault upon this oppressive custom has at last been given. It has been made in the interest of the horses by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, but jammed-up humanity is also incidentally benefited by the victory won in the courts yesterday; and there is a promise of relief for tired men, feeble women, aud sick children, as well as for overtasked brutes. On the trial the charge was made, and proven to the satisfaction of tho jury, that the con ductor and driver of car No. 2 on the Union line were nuilty of cruelty to animals, because they made two horses, one of which had an exhausted appearance, draw up a heavy grade, at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a loud of sixty grown persons and six or seven children. A verdict of guilty having been rendered, a fine of $-'." and costs was imposed, the gist of the legal offense being the sufferings inflicted on the horses. The most important result, however, is the probable bearing of the trial on the public, and their partial deliverance from the sharp game which the companies have been playing upon them. Judge Peirce, in his charge to the jury, very properly said: "Persons who pay for a S3at in cars have the right not to be incommoded by being jammed or pushed against, or gene rally inconvenienced. It would be much better if the railway companies would en deavor to furnish accommodations to enable every one to ride with comfort. On the ar rival of steam cars, or at times xrhen there is a (rent tnnmit ot certain poiutx, it would be far better if additional cars were in readiness." The passenger railway companies cannot act too promptly or too fully on this hint. By doing so they will please the public, and in the end increase their profits. But if they refuse to perform their duty, we hope the foes of the present system will continue their efforts to reform it. AUSTRIA AND THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL. The contest between Prussia and Austria which grew out of the Schleswig-IIolstein affair, although there was nothing praise worthy in its origin, has produced more im portant results than any European war of our day. Short, sharp, and decisive, it humiliated Austria and consolidated the petty States of North Germany into a great empire, which disputes with France for the position of the great leading" continental power. Tho war demonstrated to Austria her weakness, and it led to reforms that could probably have been brought about by no other means. Hungary was pacified by wise concessions, which ap pealed to the national pride of the people: the concordat which placed the civil as well as the religious government under the feet of the Vatican Cabinet was ab rogated, civil marriages were made lawful, and free schools were established indepen dent of Church control. These reforms were due in a very great measure to the firm but wise policy of the Protestant Minister, Baron Von Beust; but such a strict and bigoted Catholic as the Emperor is entitled to credit for having the courage to take such a man into his councils, aud for sacrificing his per sonal feelings for tho sake of benefiting tho country. It may bo said that it was only his duty to do this, but when it is considered how few monarchs have been able to distinguish between their duty and their prejudices, espe cially when religious considerations are in volved, Fjancis Joseph is entitled to no little praise, especially as he has shown a dis position to continue tho good work so auspi ciously begun. It is anticipated, with good reason, that the (Ecumenical Council which has been sum moned by the Pope will be specially marked in its action towards the Catholic powers, like Austria, that have discarded tho yoke of Home; and a conference of the Catholic powers has been proposed, to tako action in ainuuce with regard to the anticipated deci sions ot tuo council. Baron von Beust has replied to this proposition, refusing on the part of Austria to participate in the conference, on tho plea that it will be time enough to take action when the council declares against the rights of States. It is certain that this is tho politic course to pursue; and if the Catho lio governments of Europe will only be firm in resisting any interference in their affairs by the council or the Vatican Cabinet, they can very easily make it a necessity for tho Pope and his ministers toattenl only to thoir 1 igitimato business of evangelizing th a world, instead of making trouble for themiolves and others by meddling with civil affair. THE NEW ATLANTIC CABLE. Br the despatch dated from Brest yesterday, the Great Eastern was yesterday morning off Newfoundland, and only thirty miles distant from the place where tho splice was to be made. At this writing there can senrcoly be any doubt that the new ocean cablo has been connected with tho American shore, and that we have now threo magnotic currents engaged in transmitting intelligence between tho Old World and the Now. The completion of such an enterprise as this is really a grand event, that ought to occasion a profound feel ing of rejoicing in tho hearts of all who can appreciate the importance of a rapid spread of intelligence, and tho influoueo of such means as this for promoting enlightenmont and proclaiming liberty throughout the world. It need bo no figure of rhetoric to say that these wires sunk in tho bod of the ocean, and bind ing the Old World with tho Now, will vivify Europe in its decay with Homo of tho frosh life of America, and will serve to enkindle the firo of liberty on her altars. The more rapid the means of spreading intelligence through out tho world, the better will tho people know what the requirements of the ago are, and be able to shake off the old despotic sys tems that have descended to thorn from tho dark ages, and tako tho power in their own hands. The American terminus of tho new cablo is at the island of St. Pierre, one of a littlo group of rocks to (lie south of Newfound land, which now almost alone rem tin to ro present the once enormous possessions of tho French in America. Those islands have an area of about ono hundred and six square miles, n population of about two thousand, and they are only valuable on account of tho adjacent fisheries. The United States termi nus will le at House's Hummock, a conical shaped hill of thirty or forty acres in area, situated about two milos from the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts. In consequence of tho decision of Attorney -Goneral Hoar, that it was not lawful for the French cablo to be landed in the United States without tho au thority of Congress, the Legislature of Massa chusetts has granted a charter to the Ocean Telegraph Company, who will carry out a line beyond the jurisdiction of tho United Statos, and meet the French cablo. From Duxburv on independent lino will extend to Boston, and from thence will communicate with all parts of the United States. THE EASE-BALL SEASON. Thk season for base-ball matches is again at hand, nnd the reading public is regalod with elaborate reports of the heroes who hit, make runs, throw, catch, niun, etc. The extra ordinary popularity which this game has at tained appears to be one of the legitimate consequences of the movement for muscular development which has exerted such a marked influence in every ramification of society, and which has given a wonderful impetus to all the favorite forms of exercise. It is better that young men should learn to row boats, play ball, dance, and skate than that they should fall early victims to sedentary habits; but one extreme may prove as dangerous as the other, and the base-ball furore is earned in some directions to undue limits. The gambling tricks and associations connected with some of the exciting matches are especially repre hensible, and the public cannot too strongly condemn the tendency displayed in various quarters to intermingle with these contests practices as disgraceful and dishonorable as the jocky intrigues which have made the turf infamous. The new Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Robe son, bespeaks for General Grant's adminis tration a judgment founded on its fruits rather than its professions, and he states that it "endeavors quietly, persistently, and hon estly to perform each day the duties which it each day finds before it," and hopes "to pre sent the country restored in all its parts, with credit re-established, and industry reinvigo rated through all the channels of national prosperity." The people are well disposed to give it a fair trial: they would much rather see it a success than a failure, and they will not be slow to render praise where praise is due. Knowing that it was impossible to avoid personal disappointments, they will evince little sympathy for those who suffer the pangs of baffled ambition, but they have the right to expect that care will be exercised in ex cluding from important representative posi tions aspirants who are positively objection able, on grounds patent to the nation, anil we hope that no more high honors will be conferred on such men as the newly-appointed Minister to Spain, General Daniel E. Sickles.

Perryvili.k Station, Pennsylvania RR.,1 June 12, lm f Messrs. Parrel, Hbrrino A Co., No. 629 Chesnut street, Philadelphia. Gents : A persistent but unsuccessful effort waa made on the night of May 29, 1369, to drill the Banker's chest received from you a few menth ago. From facte that have come to our knowledge, it la evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill it useless, the effort was then made to break the lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it to arise from the railroad men replacing a defective rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the construction of your Chest. That they failed Is another evidence that your Banker's Chests are .what you claim for them, Bur- glar-Proofl Respectfully yours, i 6 15 4p J. BALSBACK, Agent.
