WHAT WILL ENGLAND DO?
Mb. Gladstone, the Frime Minister of Eng
land, who has great talent but little tact, is
Badly puzzled by the European complication.
The sympathies of the nation naturally in
cline it to favor Prussia, and his Tory oppo
nents, however false they may be on other
questions, are strongly disposed tp gratify
this sentiment at all hazards, while the manu
facturing and trading classes, who form an
influential portion of the Whig party, are
anxious, in this juncture, as in all similar
Conflicts, to make money out of the war and
to throw glory and duty to the dogs. If con
sols do not fall, and if large cargoes of coal
can be furnished to the French to speed them
on their murderous errand against the Prus
Bian coast, the Mammon-worshipping shop
keepers care but little how the map of Europe
may be reconstructed, or who may win or
lose in the impending conflict. There are
limits, however, even to the degree of national
humiliation to which Great Britain will volun
tarily subject herself. Her pride as well as
her safety is involved in the maintenance of
Belgian independence. The glories of
Waterloo would quiokly pale if the nephew of
his uncle should now seize the historic battle
field, and, once established there, whore can
England, if she continues a policy of cold in
difference intermingled with treacherous neu
trality, look for allies when the modern C&sar
decides that the hour for attacking her shores
and avenging St. Helena has at last arrived ?
The sentiments and duties involved in this
situation are already shaking the allegianoe
of a portion of Mr. Gladstone's Whig
supporters. Lord John Russell declares
for a vigorous policy, and insists that
the Government shall instantly prepare
to maintain . Belgian neutrality by force of
arms, while the Under Foreign Secretary
begs the House of Commons to rest content
With written guarantees which a fortnight
hence may be as worthless as waste paper.
The Tories will be quick to seize the partisan
advantages arising from the present cold
blooded and timid polioy of their opponents;
and if Mr. Gladstone does not quickly change
it, there is a strong probability that he will
be turned out of office, to give way for a suc
cessor . more ready to maintain Eng
lish honor. If the struggle on this
point is protracted, we shall not be surprised
if the publio mind becomes so exasperated as
to demand open hostilities against France,
instead of the mere forcible maintenance of
Belgian independence with which it would
be satisfied now. Meanwhile great activity
is manifested in English ports and djc'x
yards, and if Great Britain doss becoma in
volved in the struggle her navy, at least, will
be well prepared to deal deadly blows, and to
reassert its pre-eminence over that of France.
NEW JERSEY AND TRE NATIONAL
OFFICES.
It is perhaps appropriate, after all, since
Long Branch is established as the summer
capital, that New Jersey should be made a
sort of District of Columbia in the way of
monopolizing official emoluments. In addi
tion to the Cabinet office, the English mis
sion, and the Supreme Judgeship bestowed
upon that potential Republican State, her
useful politicians have also been rewarded
with a mission to Chili, the consulship to
Liverpool, and the 'First Assistant Postuaas
ter-Generalship, besides sundry smaller pick
ings. The favors bestowed upon Penn
sylvania are ludicrously insignifi
cant when contrasted with those
granted to our overshadowing sister, but
then the Keystone State affords at best only
a few days' trout fishing, and the recollection
of this fact should quell all symptoms of dis
content. It is true that Curtin was sent to
Russia, but the main object in view in his
Case was evidently to get him out of the coun
try, and L'nooln's attempt to send Cameron
into exile having proved a miserable failure,
the only true course to be pursued with him
was to banish his son-in-law to Con
stantinople. Since Car tin and Cameron
have been taken care of after this fashion,
what right have any lesser lights to hanker
after rich rewards like those lavished upon
the favored sons of powerful New Jersey?
When we remember how much she does to
nominate and elect Republican candidates,
and what delightful summer resorts she pos
sesses, who will dare to question the wisdom
of loading her down with munificent political
rewards ? -
Martial France must be delighted with
the news so ostentatiously told that the little
Prince Imperial, who is expected to perpetu
ate the Napoleonic dynasty, has "received on
his first field of battle his baptism of fire,"
'as well as the intelligence that "the Emperor,
' since he has been with the army, has kept
one telegraph wire constantly busy with cor
respondence with the Empress.'' This whole
business smacks strongly of the family
egotism of the man who thought that "me
- and my wife, and my son John' were the only
Ljots in the universe that deserved seriom
consideration. It also gives to Frenchmen
significant indications that if Napoleon tri
umphs in the present war he will quickly re
store, in the most offensive form, the per
sonal system of government which he has par
tially surrendered, and that they are therefore
fighting now to put chains upon themselves
as well as upon the Germans of the Rhenish
frontier.
ABATING A NUISANCE.
General Grant was less of a mere party can
didate than almost any publio man nominated
for the Presidency since the days of Wash
ington, and while it was expected of him that
he would faithfully support the principles
and policy of the Republican party, it was
also expected that he would endeavor to
reform some of the abuses that have grown
about our political system, and especially
that he would make a vigorous and persistent
effort to do away with the infamous scheme
of. dealing out the publio offices as rewards
for political services, that has been the curse
of the country ever since General Jackson
devised it. That General Grant intended to
inaugurate this reform is certain, but no
sooner was it known that he was elected than
he was beset by professional politicians of
every degree, from the ponderous Sumner,
with his claims to the privilege of arranging
a slate for the best foreign missions, and the
'bottled-up" Butler, whose friendship and
support could be purchased if he were un
corked and allowed to select a few snug
berths for his personal friends, down to the
smallest of the wire-pullers who were ready to
take anything, and who, if they could not get
into the Cabinet, were willing to put up with
the perquisites of porters in the custom
houses or sweepers in the public offices.
Grant found that there was more vexation of
spirit in fighting an army of politicians hungry
for the spoils than there was in conducting
a campaign against the Rebel hosts in the
Wilderness and the swamps of Chickahominy,
and the consequence was that he made a half
surrender which was if anything worse
than a total defeat. Some of the President's
independent appointments were not such as
were calculated to strengthen his administra
tion, and a few unfortunate blunders gave
the enemy an opportunity of which they
were not slow to take advantage; and by
compromising with sin he lost a great por
tion of the moral support which citizens of
all shades of political opinion, outside of the
political rings, would have given him if ha
had persisted in his determination to effect a
reform in our civil service. Although the
President has not come up to the expectations
of his best friends, in regard to this one mat
ter at least, he has nevertheless shown him
self lo be restive under the dictation to whioli
he is subject, and any effort on his part or on
the part of any officers of the Government to
abolish the existing abuses is entitled to
cordial support and encouragement. It is
with considerable gratification, therefore.
that we find Secretary Cox. of the Interior
Department, protesting against the tax im
posed npon the clerks in his office by the
Congressional Campaign Committee. This
committee, it seems has determined to abo
lish the tax of one per cent, hitherto im
posed, and to make an assessment instead at
the rates of three, four, and five dollars,
according to the rates of pay of the clerks,
and to this assessment the com
mittee "expects that every clerk
will promptly respond" a very plain
hint to pay up or put.
To this demand of the Congressional Cam
paign Committee Secretary Cox has replied
that he could not possibly object to an appeal
to the liberality or party zeal of any employe
n his department, but to tax them in a man
ner different from that in which other citizens
are taxed, or to attempt to enforce its pay
ment by political penalties, is, in his opinion,
a political immorality of which he cannot
approve. "
We hope thafc'Seoretary Cox feels strong
enough to brave the wrath of the Congres
sional Campaign Committee for this inter
ference, as he will undoubtedly be made to
suffer for it, as other independent Cabinet
officers have been made to suffer when they
refused to bow the knee to Baal. He will be
attaoked openly and covertly on the floors of
Congress, his appropriations will be cut down,
charges of fraud in the management of the
bureaus of the Interior Department will be
made, ana he and his subordinates will be
"investigated," offices now under his oontrol
will be abolished or transferred to other da
partments, the newspaper correspondents will
be inspired to write him down, by inform
mg the country that he is incapable; that
he behaves with inoivility to Congressmen
who visit him on publio business; that
the President ' is losing confidence in
him; and that he is altogether in such a
bad way that his instantaneous removal is
necessary for the peace and prosperity of the
country. These tactics have been tried
before now with success; and with the case
of Attorney-General Hoar before his eyes,
it is certainly remarkable that any other Cabi
net officer should pretend to have an opinion
of his own with regard to the regulation of
the Government patronage. There are indi
cations, however, that the backbone of the
administration is beginning to stiffen; and if
the President and his entire Cabinet on the
principle of better late than never deter
mine to hang together in this matter, and to
fight the whole race of professional politi
cians until they succeed in making our civil
service a little better than it is, they will
m il 1 1 1 a
deserve we eternal gramuae oi tneir coun
trymen.
According to the French accounts of the
battle yesterday, they have taken the initia
tive by crossing the frontier and invading
Prussia. The engagement lasted but two
hours, and it amounted only to a driving in
of Prussian outposts by a superior French
force. This seems to be a small affair for
the Emperor and Prince Imperial to engage
in. Their extensive military experience
should be reserved for the heavier work in
at ore when armies of real magnitude meet in
dedly conflict.
Hon. T. Dwiofit TnATcnsn, who Is well
known In Philadelphia journalism, is now
editing the Lawrence, Kansas, Hepubllcan
Journal. Mr. Thatcher, who Is an eloquent
speaker as well as a forcible and elegant
writer, delivered a Fourth of July oration at
Lyndon, Kansas, which the Signal of that place
says was replete with the soundest lessons of
practical statesmanship,, and earnest lessons lo
preserve the liberties which were acquired at
the cost of eo much blood. Mr. Thatcher is a
man who cannot fall to make his mark either in
the editorial chair or on the stump, and his
sound practical ideas on political subjects will
give him an immense influence in a new and
growing State like Kansas, and place any posi
tion to which he may aspire easily within bis
reach.
A despatch from Paris states that Russia
demands an explanation from Austria as to
why she is arming. The Czar is probably
disposed to keep out of the fight on condi
tion that Francis Joseph is also neatral, but
ready to take part in it, in defense of Prussia,
if Austria seeks to improve the present
opportunity to avenge Sadowa.
CHARLES DICKERS WILL.
Provisions of the Docmnrot TiPtrnrV to
rrlena uirrriiona lor ilia joicniifint, r.ic.
The will of Charles Dickens is published in
full in the London papers. It is described as
having been written in blue ink on a sheet of
ordinary letter paper. The main body of the
text was evidently copied from the careful draft
of a competent legal man. A provision of the
interest on eight thousand pounds for life is
made for Mrs Dickens. To Miss Hogarth ho
gives eight thousand pounds and all his per
sonal jewelry except his watch ("the gold
repeater presented to me at uoventry h wnicn,
with "the chains and seals asd all append
ages," he bequeaths to John Foroter, who is
also the legatee of such of the rnauuscrlpts
of his published works as remained in bis
possession at the time of his death. To his
eldest son Charles he bequeaths his library of
printed books and all his engravings and prints.
For the other legacies, "Miss Ellen Lawless Ter
nan, late of Houghton place, Ampthlll Square,
in the county ot Middlesex, receives one thou
sand pounds, and all the servants who have
been in the family for one year have nineteen
guineas each. In a codicil the property in "All
the Year Round" is given to "Charles Dickens,
the younger, ' a designation ot ns son which
would feeem to imply that he desired this gentle
men to assume such a title rather than "Charles
Dickens, Jr.," in like manner with the younger
(Jolman.
After having fully expressed his Intentions in
legal technicalities, Mr. Dickens concludes his
last will and testament as ioiiows:
And lastly, as I have no set down the form of
words which my lecal advisers assure me are ne
cessary to trie plain object or tnis my win, i solemnly

THE UMYERSAL PANIC.
The Panic la the London Money Market.
The London Times of Monday, July 19, in its
"City Article," says:
A severe panic prevailed in the stock markets
to-a ay, ana a most important lau occurred in quota
tions. Many stocks were again quite unsaleable,
notwithstanding the'extent of the rcceut reduction.
The markets were more particularly influenced by
tne announcement oi tnree iresn iauures in tne
Stock Kxchange. and the stoppagd of the Norwich
Crown Bank. In connection with these diillcultiea a
very large amount of stock was thrown upon the.
market u e., many recent speculative accounts lor
a rise were ciosea.
Among the other unfavorable features were the
advance in the value of money on the Continent.
and a decided rise in the price of wheat. The up
ward movement in the corn market will soon bo
felt throughout France, and will, doubtless, tend to
dampen to some extent the enthusiasm prevailing in
connection with the war. A large amount of money
is waiting to be invested, but the public pause for
tne moment, apparently uouoting wnetner we nave
yet seen the lowest point. It may be remarked,
however, that the fall fn some of the foreign stocks
during the last fortnight has amounted to about
fifteen per cent. The Kngiish funds showed extra
ordinary depression, and after falling two per cent.,
closed one and five-eighths lower, lu the foreign
department violent agitation was observable, and
the closing prices, though not the worst of
the day, were very much below those cur
rent on Saturday. Turkish stocks were forced
for sale, and declined three to six per cent Bra
zilian of 1865, Buenos Avres (scrip), Egyptian. Italian.
Peruvian, l'ortuguese, and Ruuaiau also gave way
to a serious extent. Spanish securities were com
paratively steady, a hope prevailing that this country
may manage to noiu aioor irora me war. rne re
duction in English railway stocks was also import
ant. United States 6-20 bonds declined 1 to 2 per
cent , owmg to large gaies on uerman account.
Illinois Central Kail way shares were also 4 lower.
Most of the American securities disposed of here or
late have been subsequently despatched to New
York, and this fact tends to explain the recent iru-
fiortant rise in tna gold premium and tha increase
n the remittances of gold to this country from the
United States. Nearly all the foreign railway shares
receaeu ; me most important movement (l ion.)
being in Great Luxemburg. A reduction took place
in banking, miscellaneous, ana teiegrapn snares.
Effect, of the War an the Grata Market and
shipping.
The rumor which caused so much agitation in
London on the 18th ultimo, that KusBia had de
termined to loin the war, it is stated emanated
from the Baltic Coffee House, and was put in
circulation at exactly the right moment to exert
a powerful influence on the corn market. The
first effect was to raise the pretensions of
holders ot wheat to an extravagaut degree, and
an advance of 8s.(a10s. a quarter was asked
from purchasers. Xransactlons were in conse-
mmvtsuk KvMtfyhfr o 1 mnaf t a ctanrtatill Hut . 1 I
mately factors abated their demands. The rates
of Dreutium against war risk on vessels at sei.
or about to sail, also rose, and an enormous
business is reported to have been transacted at
Lloyd 8 and with the various marine insurance
companies.
Haw the War Interfered with Emigration to
the Lulled Stale..
The Liverpool correspondent of the London
Daily Aetoa writes:
'A vear or two ago enormous numbers of German
emigrants were in the habit of proceeding, via Liver
pool, to the United States, particularly during the
autumn. More recently, however, that branch of
emigration has been conducted from Hamburg and
other Uerman ports, so that the emigration trade
of Liverpool will not Sustain auy serious diminu
tion from tne impending war, unless, indeed,
Denmark, Sweden, and Norway (from which
two countries emigration via Liverpool has latterlr
been very extensive), be drawn Into the conflict. It
is anticipated that, notwithstanding th restrictions
on the Continent, large numbers of intending U fir
man emtgraals will pass the frontier into Holland
and Belgium, and take naosuge theuue to America.
couaitltraoltj emigration iroin stance via Havre
has been latterly going forward through Liverpool,
and large numbers of emigrants have lon booked
to proceed by steamer sailing this mouth : but the
emigrant ofllclais at Liverpool have received Inti
mation that many of those contracts cannot
be fulfilled, In consequence of the demands
be nome lor tne services or atie-ioaien
men. In support of the statement that
France has been for a considerable time preparing
for the war, it may be interesting to notice that dur
ing the lost three months largo quantities of wheat
and breadstufl's have been purchased in Liverpool.
The partial failure of the French harvest was made
the ostensible pretext for these transactions. The
Exchange at Liverpool was perfectly paralyzed by a
report that Russia has resolved to Join Prussia in
declaring war against Franco. The cotton and
snare markets were thrown into a great state or
confusion and panic, and sales were made at tre
mendous reductions. Later in the day the rumors
ss to HnsHia were announced to be a 'mistake,' but
tne contradiction came too late to uo auy real
good."
THE CHINESE IN LOUISIANA.
The New Orleans papers give an account of a
disturbance which occurred on the Wlllaudon
Plantation, between the Chinese emnloved there
and the contractor who has them in charge, or
rather who contracts with the laborers on the
one hand and the plantation owner on the other.
The Chinese had been indulging in cabbages;
not exactly forbidden fruit, but articles not
down in the contract; and the planter, Mr.
Merrill, declined to pay the bill. The Chinese
seized the contractor, himself a Chinaman, by
name Cum Wing, and carried him bodily to
their headquarters. What they proposed to do
with him is not clear: but tne police were
sent for, and, upon their interference, he was
liberated. It is quite evident that cabbages are
at the bottom of the mess, but the exact com
position of this celestial sauer-kraut is not ex
plained even by the aid of an interpreter. It
seems to have settled itself. At all events the
Chinese are at work again, so far as can be as
certained, in "statu quo antebellum."
