DECLARATION OF THE DUKE DE GRAMONT IS THE
FRENCH SENATE.
Pabis, JHly 15. The following is the text
of the declaration made by Dake de Gramont
before the Senate to-day:
"Messieurs : The manner in which the country
received our declaration of the 6th of July led us to
commence negotiations with Prussia, to secure her
recognition of the validity of oar grievances. Wo
did not treut with Spain, whose independence we
have no wlati to trammel, nor with the Prince of
llohcnzollern, whom we consider to be under the
shadow of the King. Nor have we advanced any
other grievance than the candidacy of the prince
for the Spanish throne. The Prussian MiniHter of
Foreign A flairs opposed to us a determina
tion not to receive our representation, pretend
ing to ignore ihe affair. We thus addressed
ourselves to the King, who maintained that
he was a stranger to the atrair and could not
intervene except as neaa or uie family, duc ne
avowed that he hid instructed Bismarck, we could
not accept that answer, and we demanded that the
King should Influence the Prince of Honcnzollern.
ItBislaiice Un the project came from the quarter
whence it was least expected. We then demanded
that the King should give a promise for the future.
This moderate demand, made la moderate terms.
we declared to be without any reservations. The
King declined to say that he would refuse la
future to Interfere wl.h the candidature, and he re
fused to authorize us to transmit to you a declara
tion that be would In future oppose the caudldature.
tie declared that he reserved to hlmelf the
right to consider circumstances. Lveu after this
reiusu we am not break on negotiations, but ad
journed our explanation to lou until this date,
Yesterday we were apprised that the King of Prussia
had notified our Ambassador that he would no longer
receive him. ana to render a rupture more obvious
he gave notice of his action to the Cabinets of
turope. At the same time he announced that Baron
Werther might take leave, and the armaments of
Prussia had commenced. On our part we yesterday
t ailed out the reserves, and have taken such other
measures at) the interest and honor of the couutry
demanded. A copy of this declaration hat been
presented to the Corns Lcirisiatif by Monsieur the
peeper of the beala. The Government ask a vote of
supplies and a call to arms of all classes owing mili
tary service.
The Corps Legislatif has voted the extreme
demands of the Government, tne Lieu voting
in the negative.

New York, July 16, 1870.
Piety Re a Money- tinker.
The peculiar aptitude which so many minis
ters of religion evince for making money, out
side as well as inside their profession, Is one of
the reasons why the world at large places but
little faith In the spirituality of the pulpit.
Preachers are found to bo so extremely uu
splrltual In their practice, whatever they may
affect to be In matters of faith. The eye which
they have to tbe main chance is far from belnif
identical with that single eye which ba regard
for things heavenly. If they abandon specula
tion in doctrinal matters, it is only to adopt that
equally loose and wild speculation which hai
Wall street for Its theatre and bulls and bears
for its principal actors. They most emphati
cally do take thought for the morrow, and for a
good many days after, too, and mani
fest at leapt as much interest in tha
rise and fall of gold as in the rise and fall of reli
gion. I will not say that with them piety is
not something more than a money-maker, but
it certainly is that, whatever else It may be. The
house of God is also their house of merchan
dise, and tbe communion-table is too often de
graded to the level of a counter. A fair illus
tration of this principle has just been furnished
by the young pastor ot a certain church, whoso
congregation had presented him with a valua
ble lot on Lexington avenue. The lot was suffi
ciently capaeious for him to erect thereon a
large and handsome parsonage, and to surround
it with large and well-lald-out grounds. The
prudent recipient of this present was far too
prudent to do anything of tbe kind, however. He
built upon it an insignificant little parsonage,
hardly large enough to swing a cat in a
mean enough affair, in fact, to be a disgrace to
his congregation, whose feelings may be ima
gined. Upon the remainder of the lot, which is
about ten times the area of that occupied by the
"parsonage, he has erected three handsome
brown-stone fronts, which he hag lately sac
reeded in renting out at an enormous sum. There
is a union of epiritual-mindednoos and fuio busi
ness tact for you ! The property ww Lie own,
you will say, and he had a right to do as he
chose with it. Certainly; but I am afraid the
woras of life and salvation will not drop auy
more persuasively from his lips because he has
shown himself extremely Bharp at driving a
bargain. The aet i3 a very fair sample ot" what
the average New York minister is, however, ujJ
as such deserves mentioB.
ThoHe Hlenned Katlm.
That the baths are blessings is proved daily
by the hundreds of men, women, and children
who throng to them. They are used and
enjoyed to an extent surpassing the expecta
tions of the Board of Public Works, which
erected them. It is now proposed to increase
their number indefinitely, aud finally, as cir
cumstances may warrant, to provide stone
wharves and immense stone reservoirs until the
beauty, efficiency, and durability of such struc
tures shall rival those of the antique. After all
there is something pleasantly "naked, natural,
and Greek" in these hourly facilities for
bathing, in which each sex and ever? ao
can indulge. The sights and sounds of this new
institution are worth tbe sacrifice one makes of
one's exclusivlsm in attending them. ft is
something to know that the duty of being
cleanly is iecognlzed by the multitude and ap
proved by the Fathers of the City. Among a
perspiring crowd one feels a sweeter comfort in
the sense that it Is no longer an unwashed one.
It is soothing to realize that you belong to a
community which reposes faith in the tle.su
brush and confidence in the crash-towel, Soap,
even if it be yellow, rubs a better sentiment
into dirty people with the sediment it rubs out,
and I am convinced that the better minds amon j
the lower orders of the community experience a
growing attachment to the batb-tub.
Poor Muperlnttndrnt Jourrtun.
Since Superintendent Jourdan has held his
present position as head of the police he has
had no easy time. He doubtless brought to his
work the same disposition which is said to make
a new broom sweep clean, and it was manifestly
his Intention to sweep very clean indeed. To
this end he has worked day and night, tighten
ing relaxed laws, and satisfying himself by a
persona round of visits in various quarters of
the efficiency of their operation. Under hii rule
we have had quieter and more peaceable Sun
days than under the last days of the reign of
Kennedy. During the last fe w weeks, particu
larly, the excise law has been made more strin
gent in its operation. The countless saloons
which had begun to steal open on the Sabbath
were instantaneously closed, as though they had
one door. If he had turned as much of his
attention towards the disreputable doings on
Canal street, he would have accomplished a
more important work. For instance,
during the last few months f,he
streets in that vicinity have been literally honey
combed with those wretched little cigar-shops
the name of which is merely a euphemism for
almost every kind and degree of crime. Females
accomplished in the last degrees of vice have
sprung up there like fungus, and during their
short reign have converted Canal street, between
the Bowery and Essex street, Into a locality less
tolerable than the Five Points. The cleansing of
this and kindred localities is part of the . work
which Superintendent Jcurdou finds himself
unequal to perform. Not the consciousness of
having performed a good aad noble mission,
not tbe emoluments or honor of his position,
not the support he has received from the re
spectable press, can reconcile him to reinainiug
in this notoriously ungrateful post. His resig-
nation, accordingly, will take effect from the first
of next month. He has discovered the police
euperlntendency to be eminently unfavorable to
his health, his hours of labor lasting from an
early morning hour of one day till after midnight
of tbe next.
Amusement.
Tbelanncr ballet troupe has not been as
evenly successful as it was natural to anticipate
it would be. on account of the illness of Madame
Lanner herself- That lady had been working
extremely hard, superintending rehearsals, aud
taking a laborious share in everything in which
her own reputation and ambition were concerned,
and broke down under the trials of a new
climate. Her illness has lasted but u day or so,
but it materially interfered with the pecuniary
interests of the management. Mr. Gayler's play
of Fritz, written to order, like machine poetry,
attracts pretty good houses at Wallack'e.
Buckley's Berenaders, which assume to be the
original ones, are stationed at the San Francis
cans' Hall, doing an extremely meagre business
Among other theatricals the extremest dullness
prevails.
Ia It la be a Alabtlle i
Judges Barnard and Cardozo have stepped in
and prevented Commodore Vanderbllt from an
proprlating thirty-three lots near Fourth avenue
and Forty-third street. In 1809 Vanderbilt sue
etcded In getting permission to use that pro
perty as a depot for the Harlem Railroad, vmt
tain commissioners, appointed by the Commo
dore and approved by Judge Ingraham, fixed
tbe amount of compensation to be paid the city
at tbe low sum of 125,000. Judges Barnard and
Cardozo have appointed other commissioners
to make a new valuation, and parties have since
bt en found to offer 1 1,000, 000 for the properly
which the Commodore hoped to secure at about
one-fortieth that amount. It is rnmored that
tbope who have thus grasped at the property
Intend converting it into a Jardin Mabille! It
is to be hoped so, for the sake of those who are
forever lamenting New York's lack of such a
charming necessity. AuBara.
