HIE EUROPEAN COMPLICATION.
The late cable telegrams from Europe clearly
indicate that peace has not been assured by
the withdrawal of Leopold as a candidate for
fhe throne of Spain, and a formal declaration
of war is hourly expected, as a ministerial
organ of Taris to-day clearly foreshadows it.
France, always a martial nation, seems to
long for an opportunity to measure swords
with Tmssia, and the Emperor is apparently
disposed to gratify this feeling. Napo
leon has already signalized his reign by
waging successful war against Russia and
Austria, by humbling England in the Crimea,
ly playing the role of protector to Tur
key and Italy, and by restricting
Spain in the choice of a King. Prussia dur
ing this period has not only escaped his as
saults but has greatly increased her territory
while aoting as a lion in the path of French
ambition, and however much Napoleon may
pride himself upon his success at Sebastopol
or Solferino, it remains a disputed political
and military question whether he can defeat
Bismarck in a desperate conflict. The mere
consciousness that any power in Eu
rope holds such a position irritates
the popular mind of France, and
dazzling visions of glory blind the eyes of
Frenchmen to the dangers and diabolism of a
bloody Continental war. Prussia, on the
other hand, has a military record of which
she is scarcely less proud than France. Re
peatedly threatened with annihilation, she
Las emerged triumphantly from all her serious
conflicts, and she has steadily been gaining
relative strength while France has been losing
it. Although not disposed to precipitate war
now if she can honorably avoid it, she is too
proud and powerful to submit to
voluntary humiliation. Her available force
in the impending struggle may be
much diminished or increased by the
attitude she assumes on the questions in dis
pute. If the issue had been so made that
Prussia was apparently precipatating war for
the purpose of pampering the ambition of
the house of Hohenzollern, Napoleon might
well have hoped to carry disaffection into the
German camp, and to detach a number of the
minor German powers from King William.
That monarch was too astute, however, to be
caught in this trap; and from present indi
cations he will be able to make it appear, if
war ensues, that the quarrel is thrust npon
him by France. If he is thus converted
into a champion of Germany, Napo
leon can hope for no allies save
Italy and Austria, and he will And it ex
tremely difficult, if not impossible, to gain
substantial assistance from either of those
powers. Prussia, on the other hand, could
concentrate the strength of a body of Ger
mans nearly as numerous as the population
of France, and if she is hotly pressed, would
probably receive assistance from Russia. If
England interfered actively at all, it would
be in behalf of Prussia rather than of France,
and Spain, smarting under the late insult put
npon her by Napoleon, would gladly avenge
it if an available opportunity was presented.
Besides, the Emperor may encounter serious
opposition from adverse parties in
his own dominions. Already M. Thiers
has warned the chamber that the most pro-
Lable result of a ill-advised conflict now is a
further aggregation of Prussian power; and
there are strong indications that the princes
of the house of Orleans not only instigated
Leopold's candidature, but that they are
anxious to use any complications which may
arise from it to strengthen their pretensions
to the throne of France. If Napoleon wages
an unsuccessful war, they will make despe
rate efforts to profit by his disasters, and the
loss of a decisive campaign may cost him his
crewn.
""Since writing the above a despatch has
been received stating that the declaration of
war has been announced in the Corps Legis-
atif. So the plot thickens, and the mortal
struggle between the mastter spirits of the
Continent, Napoleon and Bismarck, is about
to begin. The future of Europe hangs in
the balance.
MRS. LINCOLN'S PENSION.
The Senate yesterday passed the bill granting
a pension of $3000 per annum to Mrs. Lin
coln, which was promptly approved by the
President. Mrs. Lincoln's conduct when
she was in the White House was not
such as to gain her many friends out
side of the circle of sycophants who flat
tered her, with the hope that they might ob
tain preferment through her influence, and
the opposition to granting her a pension
shows how strong is the feeling against
ker among the public men who
were best acquainted with her
during her term of power. The wife
of the President can undoubtedly exercise a
great deal of influence if she chooses to, and
it is certainly to the credit of the majority of
the ladies who have presided over the White
House that they have refrained entirely from
intruding themselves in public affairs. A
wise and discreet woman was especially
needed at the head of the President's house
hold during the Rebellion, and it was a real
misfortune that Mrs. Lincoln, so far from
leing wise and discreet, proved herself from
the Arst to be weak, silly, ignorant, and utterly
nnsuited for the high position in which bhe
was placed. On numerous occasions Mr.
Jjincoln was serioualy compromised by her
conduct, and throusbout the entire
fo&flict f&4 more than expected.
of being in sympathy with the Rebellion. So
far as her own merits are conoerned, she has
no claims npon the generosity of the people
of the United States, but with all her short
comings, it Bhould be remembered that she
is the widow of Abraham Lincoln, and his
eminent services and his tragic death demand
that ample provision should be made for his
widow and children. The discussion of Mrs.
Lincoln's claims in the Senate has not been
particularly edifying, and it would have been
far better for that body to have quietly voted
in the first place not to grant the pension,
without dragging to light things that had best
be forgotten, than to have allowed it to come
up Bession after session for unfavorable and
insultiDg comment. We are glad, however,
that a pension, and, under all the circum
stances, a liberal one, has finally been granted
to Mrs. Lincoln, and the action of the Senate
yesterday is not the less a matter for con
gratulation that it puts an end to the further
discussion of an unpleasant subject in Con
gress. inE NA TUIL 1 LIZ Al ION LA W.
The Democratic papers have been endeavor
ing, with very little effect thus far, to excite
a prejudice against the naturalization lnw
recently passed by Congress, and against all
attempts to regulate the subject of
naturalization, by bringing against their
advocates the charge of Know-Nothingism.
This will not do. because the movement now
in progress for the reformation of the enor
mous frauds and abuses of our naturalization
system or, rather, want of system has
nothing whatever in common with the offon
sive features that caused the downfall of the
Know-Nothing party. If that organization
had simply confined itself to the better regu
lation of naturalization, it would have con
ferred a real benefit upon the country;
but instead of doing this it commenced
a crusade against all foreigners; it introduced
the religious element into politics, and in a
most offensive manner; and, lastly and chiefly,
it endeavored to gain the control of the Gov
ernment by means of a secret, oath-bound
brotherhood. These were the reasons for the
failure of Know-Nothingism, and so far from
doing any good to the nation, the perform
ances of the dark -lantern party only served to
send the whole foreign vote over to the De
mocracy and to throw an obstacle in the way of
all future legislature with regard to them. It
is too late at this day, however, for the Demo
cracy to raise the cry of Know-Nothingism
when an attempt is being made to prevent
the fraudulent granting of naturalization pa
pers and the swamping of honest votes at the
ballot-box by those of aliens who have no
right to exercise the prerogatives of citizen
ship. The proceedings in the Supreme Court
room of this city two years ago, were suffi
cient to convince every impartial and unpar
tisan citizen that a great and radical
change in the naturalization laws was needed;
and although the States have hitherto exer
cised this power, it was felt that it ought pro
perly be in the hands of the United States.
Congress has therefore been endeavoring to
legislate on the subject during the whole of
the present session; and if the bill finally
passed is not as satisfactory as could be de
sired, it will be accepted by the people
as a step in the right direction, inasmuch as
it gives to the United States Courts jurisclic
diction over cases of fraudulent naturaliza
tion, and provides pains and penalties that if
properly enforced will do much towards put
ting a stop to such practices as those which
took place in this city two years ago. This bill
is very much inferior to the one originally in
troduced, and which failed because weak-
kneed members were afraid to do their
duty for fear of losing the foreign vote; but it
is a beginning in the way of reform, and it
may lead the way to something better in the
f utui e.
So far from opposing any attempt to regu
late naturalization, we are confident that in
telligent foreigners who have been admitted
to the rights of citizenship will cordially sup
port any measure of the kind, which a mo
ment's consideration will convince them is as
much for their benefit as for that of native
citizens. In fact, the only real opposition in
the future as in the past will come from those
politicians who make use of the most ignorant
clasB of foreigners for their own ends, and
who drive them like herds of cattle to the
polls. Citizenship is a privilege to be granted
tq, not a right to be claimed by aliens; and
when this is clearly understood it will be
prized and appreciated more than it is now,
when a regular mill for the manufacture of
citizens is run by politicians before every
election, for the sole purpose of securing
their own selfish ends and of overpowering
the votes of those who are best able to judge
of the men and the measures whose merits
are to be decided upon at the ballot-box.
ADJO URNMENT OF CONGRESS.
Afteb a session of more than seven months,
Congress adjourned at 2 o'clock P. M., to
day, and the members can now escape from
the heated atmosphere of Washington to
luxuriate at the watering-places or com
mence the more onerous task of settling
accounts with their constituents and preparing
for the fall elections. The two most impor
tant measures of the session were the bill
to reduce taxation and the bill to
fund the national debt, both of
which have been signed by the President.
The currency bill may also prove useful to the
South and West in increasing their banking
facilities. On the whole, the Bession has been
rather a dull one. It has not been enlivened
by open struggles between the two endd of
the avenue, like those which occurred during
the last administration, but minor points of
hostility are gradually swelling into impor
tance, and before Grant's term closes he will
probably be compelled to confront sharp
Congressional antagonism.
A Navt Yard Gbievance. A great deal of
complaint exists in the Philadelphia Navy
Yard owing to a recent regulation which re
quires the employes to be at their posts
ready to go to work at twenty minutes before
the tuul hours, viz.; 8 A. 1. and 1 P. M.
The regular working hours are from 8 until
12 M., and from 1 to 5 P. M. By being
obliged to put in an appearance morning
and afternoon twenty minutes ahead of tiire,
they lose in the day nearly three-quarters of
an hour. During the busy times of the
war it was practically demonstrated that if
the bell rang for work five minutes before the
hour all went well, and none of the working
time v as lost going to the shops, and if any
one was late of course the loss was his, and
not that of the Government. This ne order
is particularly hard on a very large number of
men who live within a reasonable distance of
the Navy Yard, and under the old rule had
time to go home to dinner and take their
meals with their families. But now their
time is so short that their dinners have to be
brougLt to them at the yard. If the Govern
ment saved anything in time or money by this
arrangement the order would be well enough,
but, as it is, the men lose their time, put
their families and themselves to loss and in
convenience, and all without any benefit to
the Government, as between the ringing of
the bell and the working hour the men must
remain idle. This is a matter which may
seem of little consequence to outsiders, but
the persons who are put to unnecessary in
convenience and trouble by it feel it severely.
Doubtless the order in question emanated
from some of the heads of bureaus in the
Navy Department, and we trust the Secretary
of the Navy will revoke it as soon as his at
tention is called to it.
Mh. MOTLEY'S RECALL.
The flrst announcement of Mr. Frelinghuy3en's ap
pointment as Minister to Great Britain, in place or
Mr. Motley, was only premature. Yesterday after
noon the name of the new Minister was sent in to
the Senate, ami Mr. Motley's diplomatic oareer Is for
the second time abruptly termlnattd.
John Lothrop Motley was born at Dorchester,
Mass., on the 15th of April, 1914. His family, which
is of English origin, has been settled In Massachu
setts since the seventeenth century, his maternal
ancestor, the Rev. John Lothrop, having been one
of the original Pilgrim Fathers. His early education
was received in turn at the Latin School, Boston,
and at the Academy of Round Hill. He then en
tered Harvard University, from which Institution he
graduated in 1831. On leaving Harvard he went
abroad, passing a ye In study at the University of
Gottingen, and another jear at the University of
Berlin. Then he travelled for eome time through
the South of Europe, principally In Italy, returning
to the United States at the end of the year 1S35.
Turning his attention to the law, two years were de
voted to its study, and in 1SST he was admitted to
the bar.
But he displayed but little liking for the drudgery
of the profession, and practiced but IP-tie, even at
that early period of his life. Literary pursuits had
a stronger attraction, and turning his attention to
them, he made hiB first venture as an author by the
publication in 1S39 of a novel entitled "Morton's
Hope, or the Memories of a Young Provincial." It
was issued anonymously at New York, and made
vp principally of sketches of German University life,
based partly on his own experience, with a mingling
of pictures of the Revolutionary War. Although the
book was well written, It did not give much promise,
and attracted so little attention that it soon found
its way to the back shelves of the booksellers. His
success with his first venture was bo poor that ten
years elapsed before Mi. Motley again attempted a
romance. He then drifted into diplomacy, being
appointed by DanlelSVebster, thenSecretary of State,
to the position of Secretary of the American Legation
at St. Petersburg. This was In the yearisu, and
before the close of the year Mr. Motley
had resigned and was In Boston again,
busily occupied In contributing to the Xorth Ameri
can lieriew, the Sew York lie view, and other periodi
cals. Among the most noticeable of the fugitive
pieces which came from his pen during the Interval
between his first and second novel was an article on
Peter the Great, in the Xorth American Revieie for Oc
tober, 1945, the result, doubtless, of his observations
and studies while residing at the Russian capital.
In 1S49 he again Indulged in fiction, but with no bet
ter success than in the first attempt. His second
novel was entitled "Merry Mount, a Roiuauce of the
Massachusetts Colony," In which the redoubtable
Miles Standtsh, afterwards so forcibly delineated by
Longfellow, figured as one of the characters.
Merry Mount" shared the fate of "Morton's
Dope," but their author was not discouraged. He
became interested in the study of the history of
Holland, and devoted several years to Its most care
ful and laborious Investigation. The idea of writing
a work upon the terrible st ruggle waged by the
Netherlands agaiuBt the overshadowing power of
Spain In the sixteenth century was scarcely formed
however, when be was told that frescott was already
engaged upon flie same subject. His 11 rat thought
was to abandon his project, but he concluded to
visit the great historian, to whoa he was altogether
unknown, before doing bo. The result of this Inter
view was so encouraging that he pressed the work
forward with all his energies, removing
to Europe and residing for five years In
the neighborhood of the scenes he was
depicting, for the better prosecution of his work.
On arriving In Europe, In 1851, he became dissatis
fied with his labor as far as It bad progressed, and
threw it all away, commencing his task anew, and
going from Berlin to Dresden, and from Dresden to
the Hague, In the search for material. In his exa
mination of manuscript, as well as printed autho
rities, he was equally Indefatigable ; and as his work
approached completion, Prescott generously came to
his help, and in the preface to his "History of Philip
II," after remarking that the revolt la the Nether
lands was deserving of separate and Independent
treatment, announced that such a work was In pre
paration by Mr. Motley, and expressed the belief
that be would "do full justice to his important but
dinlcult subject."
These anticipations were found to be well estab
lished when, In 1866, "The Rise if the Dutch Repub
lic" was given to the world, In three octavo volumes,
published simultaneously in London and New Yore.
The work embraced the period from the abdication
of Charles V in 1555 to the assassination of William
the Silent in 1684, and the exciting events which ren
dered it one of the flaest fields in history for effective
dramatic wrltlDg were used to such excellent advan
tage that Mr. Motley at one stride found himself the
peer of Prescott and Bancroft, The work enjoyed a
large circulation In both Great Britain and the United
States, and was received with the
highest praise by the most critical
journals of both countries. It was reprinted In Eng
lish at Amsterdam, besides being translated Into
Dutch under the supervision of Van den Brink, the
celebrated historian, who prefixed an Introduction.
A German translation was published at Lelpaio and
Dresden, while a French translation was brought
out at Paris in 1859 from the pen of M. Gulzot.
Other substantial tributes also fell to the lot of the
new historian. The various learned societies of Eu
rope and America hastened to elect him to their
membership; the French Institute bestowed upon
him the corresponding membership made vacant by
the death of Prescott In 159; and in I860 the Univer
sity of Oxford, England, conferred upon htm the de
gree of D. C. L , Harvard In the same year tendering
him I.L.D., and many other Amertcan colleges fol
lowing these examples.
The high favor with which his first historical work
was received encouraged Mr. Motley to follow up his
labors In the same proline field, and In I860, having
paid a short visit to the United States two years be
fore, be published the first two volumes of his "His
tury of the United Netherlands," the remaining two
volumes not appearing nntll 1866. He had originally
j liiUrUdtd to LltbJ Uoviu tlid ULUrjof Ue Dutch
J Kepnbjc 14 taia. WW! to the Synod of Doit, but Ha
found It more convenient to stop at the Twelve
Years' Truce, In 1809, reserving the narrative of the
Thirty Years' War and the conclusion or the civil
and military events In Holland down to the Peace of
Westphalia, for another work which we may yet an
ticipate from bis pen. The "History of the United
Netherlands" detracted nothing from the reputation
achieved by its predecessor, but tended to establish
on a still sorer basis the author's reputation as a his
torian and a master of the most graphic and attract
ive style.
It was simply on the basis of his literary reputa
tion that Mr. Motley, urged for the place by the
New England Senators, was appointed by President
Lincoln American Minister at Vienna on November
14, 1861. The position was almost a sinecure, yet
the gigantic struggle on which the nation was about
entering rendered It desirable for as to be repre
sented abroad by men of unquestioned patriotism
and liberal culture. Mr. Motley performed what
little diplomatic duties fell to his lot acceptably
during Mr. Lincoln's administration, being at leisure
and enjoying enviable opportunities for prosecuting
meanwhile his historical labors. When Andrew
Johnson came Into power he remained undts
tnri)ed for a couple of years. But at last, in 186T,
one George W. McCracken made the tour of Europe,
and among the representatives of the nation whom
he reported to the Btate Department as being inimi
cal to the policy of the President was Mr. Motley.
Mr. Seward, as Secretary of State, addressed him a
remarkable letter Inquiring as to the truth of the
reports which had reached him from McCracken, to
which Mr. Motley responded by a letter In which,
after administering a dignified rebuke to the Secre
tary for the means adopted by hlra to bring our
foreign representatives Into public disgrace, he ten
dered his icsignatlon, and Boon after, in the fall of
1S67, returned to the United States, to be received
by the Republican party universally as a martyr to
the treachery of Johnson and 8eward.
Mr. Motley did not take any prominent part In
public affairs after his return, but on the evening of
December 16, 1868, he delivered an address before
an Immense assemblage In New York on "Historic
Progress and American Democracy." This address,
and his previous martyrdom, made him Minister to
England, to which position he was appointed by
President Grant on the 12th of April, 1869. On the
following day the Seaate rejected the treaty nego
tiated by Reverdy Johnson, bis predecessor, for the
settlement of the Alabama claims question, and Mr.
Motley found this vexations subject on his hands.
His appointment was received with general favor In
this country and Great Britain, and it was hoped
that he would succeed where Mr. Johnson had
failed. But the President was of the opinion that
the further discussion of the questions at Issue
should be carried on at Washington, and during Mr.
Motley's residence in London he has been called
upon to do but little in the matter, having, conse
quently, but little opportunity to accomplish any
thing. On the 13th of May of the present year, how
ever, he completed the negotiation with the late
Lord Clarendon of an Important treaty upon the
subject of naturalization, based upon a protocol
npon the same subject signed by Reverdy Johnson
and Lord Stanley on the 9th of October, 1863. By
this treaty Great Britain at last renounced her fa
vorite theories on the subject of perpetual allegiance,
and acquiesced fully and candidly In the American
view.
For about a month past It has been understood
that the President was dissatisfied with the course
pursued by Mr. Motley In England, although the
exact grounds of this dissatisfaction have not yet
been made public. It is even said, before Mr. Mot
ley took his departure for England last year, there
was manifested such a divergence between his
views and those of the administration as to cause
dissatisfaction on the part of the latter. It is also
said that his removal was decided npon as long ago
as November last, In consequence of his having
violated his Instructions on the Alabama
claims question. As soon as the purpose of the
President to supersede him became known, his
friends, especially the New England Senators, made
the most strcnuons exertions to keep him In his
place; but their efforts have proved unavailing,
and his recall has finally been officially promulgated.
Without taking Into consideration the merits of Mr.
Motley's successor, his removal will be received
with general regret throughout the country, espe
cially as It Inevitably involves his retirement from
public life for some years to come, if not forever.
There have been few men of his dignity and attain
ments In the diplomatic service of the conntry of
late years, which renders bis removal even more to
be regretted.
