THE TOSITION OP ENGLAND.
From the If. Y. Timet.
' There is boiuetbing ominous in the criti
cisms which are heaped upon Queen Victoria
ly the recognized exponents of moneyed
and mercantile opinion in England. Attacks
upon royalty are not new, and, in the quarter
from which they have at most invariably pro
ceeded, not specially significant; but when
the organs of capital echo complaints against
the Queen and pass severe judgments upon
the attitude of the monarchy under the influ
ence of a shock which shakes Europe to its
centre, we may conclude that the public feel
ing on the subject is neither slight nor
evanescent in its character. The war has
everywhere brought discontent to the surface.
The possibilities of the Crimean war led the
late husband of the Queen to declare that
representative government was on its trial.
Now, the probabilities of the Franco-Prussian
struggle compel English respectability
to arraign the apathy of the Queen aa a dis
grace to herself and a source of weakness to
the country.
The heart of England is given over to what
is called "neutrality," which, practically in
terpreted, means the systematic profiting by
the calamities of others. While the ocean
outlets of Germany are closod by French
fleets, and Germany in turn is tearing the
throat of France, England proposes to make
money at the cost of both. She tried it once
before, when the American Union was battling
for its life, but the experiment on that occa
sion was not remunerative. England made
enemies of North and South, and ran up an
account whioh she would be very nn willing to
settle. Despite that experience, she has played
the same game now, and, according to pre
sent appearances, with a prospect of a similar J
result. Une power sees in England's cold,
calculating spirit a sorry return for the fidelity
with which French statesmen have cultivated
an English alliance. The other resents as a
wrong, to be hereafter redressed, a version of
international law which renders neutrality a
cloak for sinister and unfriendly transactions.
England will probably for the sdoond time
discover that her theory of neutrality "does
not pay."
The prospect of a reckoning of the most
unpleasant kind is net the only consideration
which renders England uneasy. She is mor
tified and humbled by a consciousness that
her influence in the councils of Europe is on
the wane. The avoidance of the responsi
bility whioh attaches to power has been con
strued as a sign of want of spirit; the eager
ness to assume an attitude of seeming fair
. nesa to the belligerents has been rewarded
with contempt. The conviction spreads
that the Eb gland of to-day is not the 'Eng
land of other days. In its worship of
mercantile interests, it has sacrificed
many of the conditions of national great
ness.. Its business ledger has absorbed its
attention until the grand idea of national
obligations has been lost. The sneer of the
First Napoleon has beoome a fact. The
England which once played a proud part in
European affairs has sunk into "a nation of
shopkeepers." The policy of the Govern
ment is characterized most of all by timidity
it is a policy in which fear never ceases to
be apparent. And the sovereign who might
be supposed to share some portion of the
national responsibility thinks more of her
German relatives than of the English people,
and hurries off tn a Knnttinh nmnr nrif.h
disregard of impending danger whioh soarcely
comports with sanity. Governments based
on principles dictated by "shopkeepers" have
at last brought England to a pitch of degra
dation she has never touched before.
We state the case as it looks at this dis
tance, and as it appears both in Germany
: and France. The Hamburg BoraenhaUc
alludes to "that social decomposition whioh
now threatens the social existence of
England" as something whioh Germans have
been slow to acknowledge; but the course of
the English Government during the last
two months has made further skepticism im
possible. What others see, England begins
to feel. And the feeling manifests itself in
the first instance by complaints against the
Queen and attacks upon the Government.
England's "herculean efforts" at this criti
cal moment are tauntingly represented as
having "succeeded in restraining Greece
from hurling her vast energies into the con
test." That seems to be the measure of
England's diplomatic influence. A hint that
it contemplates an attempt at mediation
elicits from Germany a defianoe whieh
frightens Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues
out of their wits. There is now no Pitt, no
Palmerston even, to suggest a polioy. Mr.
Gladstone's soul shakes within him, and his
knees tremble. Prussia might swallow
France, for aught that England dara say or
do to prevent it. At the same time, England
has not made a friend of Prussia. In fact,
she is without a friend in the world.
, The English people are complaining of the
humiliation their rulers have invited. While
the Government stands with folded arms, and
the Queen slumbers in the seclusion of Bal
moral, the people begin to realize the dan
gers which the spoliation and subjugation of
France may entail upon themselves. The tide
of popular sympathy is turning. For a time
it flowed towards Prussia. Now it ebbs in
the direction of France. The meeting at
Newcastle-on-Tyne, is but one of many
tokens of the change. The sympathy is
partly with a republio for its own sake.
When will a republio be declared in England?
She will never be great again until that new
era arrives.
EUGENIE.
from the a. Y. Tribuns.
The truth must be told: we do not relish
that pioture of Eugenie on the back-stairs.
We are ready to cry La decheanct! with the
loudest Republican who yelled Vive VEin.
perrvr yesterday so long as it includes only
the Emperor; we can hear of "the convulsive
quivering of bib waxed moustache," or see
him "wipe away the tears with his glove,"
and smile with stern composure. It is the
progTeBS of free ideas, we say, that has over
thrown this Dagonof tyranny. But let us be
honest when free ideas drove the Empress
in a shtbby cloak into a hackney-coach across
the quay, they nauseated us. She is no Dagon.
We remember at onoe that we are men and
ahe is a woman. More than that i woman,
itih woman. In these days, when oar
wives and daughters have in turn each been
"a spirit yet a woman too," and a broker
and promulgator of infinite truth into the bar
gain, what a relief our souls have received
afar off in the wife whom Napoleon had hap
pily found, with her wonderful beauty and
small cunning, her extravagance and fascina
tion, her bigoted devotion to her church, and
her large, clear-eyed devotion to her huabaad
and her child. The old-fashioned types of
woman have matched each other on the three
adjoining thrones in the profligate Isabella,
the dull, domestic British matron, and this
rare plebeian Spanish girl, who bore the crown
of Charlemagne with a royal grace such as no
Bourbon ever lent to it. Let her have credit
for so much. Let ns comfort our republican
souls as we will with the truth which this great
drama over in Europe teaches that monarchy
is a crumbling sham, and kings are but pup
pets, wh6se strings work more awry with
every year. This puppet, at least, while her
partner could be Been of all men to be but
decayed wood, wore the golden rigol with
queenly spirit,' impregnated her royalty with
her own life and beauty and grace. We re
member, long ago, to have seen a photograph
of a young girl, half Irish by blood, just past
childhood, in a simple dress, a handkerchief
closely knotted about the throat. The por
trait was shown to us because of the wonder
ful beauty of the faoe and the singular fore
boding of the eyes, prophetio of ill fortune.
It was Mad'lle de Montijo, unknown to fame
or the world. We should be glad if the eyes
could plead for the woman with the world as
they do with us. Our judgment, of course,
applauds those far-sighted thinkers among us
who have been sniffing the air as tainted for
months about the Napoleonic dynasty, and
launching herculean invectives at Eugenie's
paniers and puffs; our conscience also must
approve the rejoicing of the advanced female
pointing her moral with the fact that this
goddess of dress was forced to leave all her
trunks behind her. "Where be your jewels
now ? Your hundred milliners ? Your
flashes of, genius in robe or coiffure that
were wont to set the world of women in a
flame ' Not one now to mock you ? Quite
chapfallen ? Now, get you to every woman's
chamber and toll her, let her paint an inch
thick, to this complexion must she come at
last." We know this sermon ought to be
preached by every sound female thinker on
next Sunday. But we are unsound. We
protest that this poor lady, who used her
beauty and her skill in dress for the service
of her husband and her child and her church,
with such persistent purblind fidelity, is
one of the most pathetic and picturesque
figures in history. Republicanism is a great
and good thing. But a fair figure regally
draped, giving the world a glimpse of refine
ment and grace, has it not also its uses? We
do not choose to give it up. Are all men and
women made only to shove on liberty and
progress? Were Cleopatra, and Helen, and
Eugenie born to be bashed up into morals
to feed our children withal? We will not
look at her in a hackney coach, nor grin
when her trunks are left' behind. We
choose to think her refusal to allow her
claim to be forced on the people "I can
bear their pity, but not their hatred"
a right royal utterance. Better, in that
mood, she had died; "a Queen, a name for
ever." We enter protest in the name of the
eternal fitness of things against her life end
ing in that free land where, as Lime, de Stael
testifies, the exile's pain takes the shape of a
fat paw on one's shoulder or a glass of beer
by one's plate. We will not have her at
Newport and Fifth avenue, growing stout and
vulgar under our eyes. . Has Wilhelm no St.
Helena ? Or must she get her to a nunnery ?
Let "Louis and I" turn into British cttizens
or be chopped into wurst no matter. But
let history keep the shadow of this fair, sad
eyed woman undisturbed, and when her epi
taph is wiitten let Gradgrind stand back and
uncover his head.
AMERICAN RECOGNITION OF THE
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
From the N. Y. Herald.
The prompt and decisive manner in which
General Grant, as President of the United
States, has instructed our Minister at Paris
to duly recognize the new provisional gov
ernment of Franoe is an additional claim to
the approbation of the Amerioan people.
Moreover, it is but a proper acknowledgment
of the enthusiastic feeling with which our
flag has been hailed by the people of Paris in
the moment of their great transition, and the
promptitude of Jules Favre to inform our
Executive of the great event. At the same
time it is a just rebuke to the petty renegades
who, nurtured and fed under republican
forms and by republican toleration, lose no
opportunity to sneer at similar institutions
when established by any other people. .
. "That banner of stars," said the venerable
orator and writer Victor Hugo, at the ovation
offered him in the French capital on Wednes
day last "that banner of stars," he Baid,
pointing to the American flag, "speaks to-day
to Paris and to France, proclaiming the
miraolea of power which are easy to a great
people contending for a great principle the
liberty of every race, the fraternity of all."
And, let us add, Franoe needs now but a fair
chance to shape her own destiny, without in
terference b reactionary intrigues, at home
or abroad, in order to show the world that
the republican form of government is for
Ler, aa for us, the only true and stable one.
Her' provisional government has been com
bined without one single act of violence,
and its preliminary acts, so far as internU
management is concerned, are marked with
moderation and wisdom. Even the yelping
curs of monarchical conspiracy are abashed
and silent at Paris, and the chief of the Pro
visional Ministry, there reoeives "with pro
found gratitude and emotion" the intelligence
that the great republio of the West holds forth
her hand cordially and, unreservedly-to her
young sister in the East. This promptitude
is one of the best Amerioan characteristics of
a most timely and worthy American act.. The
mutual memories of 1776 are thereby fully
revived and warmed to fraternal heat again.'
May they never more grow cold !
SHAMEFUL TREATMENT OF MR.
GREELEY BY THE REPUBLICANS.
From the jr. Y. Sun.
The defeat of the Hon. Horace Greeley at
Saratoga astonishes many people, and no one
more than the distinguished victim himself.
Next to Governor Seward and perhaps the
historian will place him in advance of that
eminent statesman Mr. Greeley was the
founder and builder np of the Republican
party. His then influential journal, widely
circulated throughout the country, was for
twenty years recognized as a power in the
land, and prepared the opponents of the
slavery propagandists to accept "the irre
pressible conflict" as the leading issue of our
times. And the editor, through good report
and through evil report, without favor and
without fear, continued to tight it out on
that line until, in the closing words of the
Buffalo platform, a glorious victory crowned
his exertions.
And what reward has Mr. Greeley received
for those days and nights of devoted toil ?
Since the organization of the party Seward
has been twelve years Senator and eight years
Secretary of State; Chase has been Senator,
Governor, Secretary of the Treasury, and is
now Chief Justice; Colfax baa been Represen
tative in Congress, Speaker, and Vice-President;
Sumner has been kept all the time in
the Senate; office after office has been showered
upon Hamlin, Cameron, and Wade; Fentoa
Las been Representative in Congress, four
years Governor, and is now a 8enator; Lin
coln was taken from the wilds of Illinois, and
given an almost peerless place in history;
even Hamilton Fish is Seoretary of State;
while Grant, who was never a Republican, is
President of the United States. We might
extend this catalogue through a column, but
this will snffioe.
And during these sixteen years what has
the Republican party done for Mr. Greeley ?
Nothing absolutely nothing except to
allow him to run for Comptroller in this
State last fall, when he was certain to be
beaten, and when he would have been as
signally destroyed as was MacMahon at
Sedan, but for the reinforcement of ten thou
sand Democratic votes secured to him by
the Sun in this city and its surroundings.
During this long period, throughout nearly
the whole of which the Republicans have
controlled this State, and for half of which
they have ruled the nation, has not Mr.
Greeley been worthy of the honors of the
party which he did so much to found, erect,
and crown with triumph ? But, instead of
honors, he has hardly received from its
leaders a look of recognition; while its
masses have seemed to think that it wat an
ample reward for his great services to shout
over him whenever his benign countenance
graced their platforms. Is not Mr. Greeley
the peer of the most eminent names we have
mentioned? Is is he not in many respects
the superior of nearly all of them? Has he
not done his best to elevate the whole of
them to those places of command whence
they have been too apt to look upon him
with cool, calculating eyes; while he fought
on as a private in the ranks ?
And what did Mr. Greeley, after all these
years of neglect, ask from his party? Simply
that he might lead its forlorn hope for Gov
ernor of this State. Was this unreasonable ?
Rather, was it not modest? He would have
been utterly defeated at the polls, and for
this reason we opposed his ' Nomination; and
to will be his opponent a man not worthy to
unloose Mr. Greeley's Bhoe strings as a poli
tician who bore off the palm at Saratoga;
but it was nngenerous, cruel, to beat him iu
the convention with such a man. If the
thing was to be done, it should have been
done with heavier timber.
We ihink there has been ' double dealing in
this slaughter of the philosopher of Ciiap
paqua in the house of his friends. A. tele
gram from Chicago appeared some time since
in the public journals to the effect that Gen
eral Grant, then in that city, had pronounced
in favor of Mr. Greeley for .Governor; and
thereupon his confidential advisers took cour
age and placed him conspicuously in the fiold
as the administration candidate for the nomi
nation. But at Saratoga the Hon. Thomas
Murphy, the Collector of this port, and who
has recently been in conference with the Pre
sident at Long Branch, was among the most
conspicuous of those who shouted over the
success of Woodford; and it is now asserted
that General Grant never made any such
declaration at Chicago, but on the contrary,
that after listening to General Woodford's
speech at Woodstock, on the hot Fourth of
July, he privately assured Woodford that he
was for him.
It would seem, therefore, that Mr. Greeley
owes his terrible defeat at Saratoga princi
pally to General Grant. Mr. Greeley should
now insist that these contradictions be recon
ciled and these complications cleared np, or
in the interest of fearless journalism and
common honesty, he should expose the plot
and denounce the conspirators.
There is but one safe and honorable course
now left for General Grant. He should im
mediately repair to Washington, summon
thither Hamilton Fish, remove from the
State Department Bancroft Davis, who made
$ GO, 000 by a single bribe, and appoint Mr.
Greeley, who was never bribed at all, as
Minister to England.
