REPUBLICAN OR COSSACK? THE AT- TITUDE OF RUSSIA. From (heN.Y. Herald. Our despatches from Europe again mention the great diplomatic and military activity of the Russian Government. Early last spring, ere there wan a sign of trouble directly be tween France and Frussia, we repeatedly called attention to the niancuvres of armies going on throughout tho latter kingdom, and that, too, while the remainder of the press, British and American, Boomed to ignore them. We now remark the very peculiar attitude of Russia, and find in it Rowing symptoms of a far wider catastrophe than has already taken Europe by surprise. The well-known Russian organ Le Nord has distinctly intimated that the equilibrium of the Continent, endangered by the culpable ambition of one power and by the blind ob stinacy of another, must be secured by the intervention of a State sufficiently strong to make itself respected by both parties, and yet not liable to be suspected of sympathy for the passions or the projects of one or the other. This is plain and pointed talk, and, to back it, we hear of the Czar concentrating nearly five hundred thousand of his best-drilled troops toward his western frontiers and summoning his terrible Cossack riders to the field. Com mon sense tells us that this muster is not made for the protection of his Prussian neighbor, since the utmost that France could hope to do, for the present, would be to raise the siege of Paris. It is not to shield Russia itself from Prussian invasion, since the Northern winter, which no foreign foe would dare to brave, is at the door, and, moreover, Prussia has not completed the heavy task that she is nnwisely enlarging in France. The po litical wisdom of Prussia, disguise it as she may attempt to do, has been alarmed, and a rumor came weeks ago from Berlin that in order to secure the Caar's consent to the dismemberment of France she was willing to give that potentate the two duchies of Mecklenburg, and to com pensate the ruler of these minor principalities by forming the conquered provinces of Alsace and Lorraine into one grand duchy under his immediate control, as Governor or Viceroy. But there is another solution to all this imbroglio, and it is comparatively close at hand. The secret of that solution will be found in the memorable words of the great Napoleon, which we do freely into English from the exact text of his memorial, written at St. Helena: "Ere fifty years shall have passed," said the imperial political soothsayer, "France will be republican or Cossack. Then, if my son be alive, he will be oalled to the throne amid the acclamations of the people. If he be no more France will again become repub lican, since no other hand would dare to granp the sceptre that he could not uphold. "The Orleans branoh, although acceptable, is too feeble; it partakes too much f the other Bourbons, and it will meet with the same fate, should its members not prefer to live the life of simple citizens, no matter what changes may intervene. Once again France will be republican, and the other countries will follow her example. Germans, Prussians, Poles, Italians, Swedes, and Hus sions will nnite with nor in a crusade in favor of liberty. They will take up arms against their sovereigns, who will hasten to make concessions to them so as to retain a part of their old authority; they will oall themselves constitutional kings with limited powers. Thus will the feudal system receive its death blow; like fog in the midst of the ocean, it will vanish at the first rays of the sun of liberty. "But things will not remain there; the wheel of revolution will not stop at that point; its impetuosity will multiply fivefold, and its rapidity will increase in like proportion. When a people has regained a part of its rights it becomes enthusiastically inspired by victory, and, having tasted the sweets of liberty, it grows the more enterprising in order to obtain the more. Tho States of Eu rope will for some years, perhaps, be in a state of continual agitation, like the soil at the moment which precedes an earthquake; but at last the lava will burst forth and the explosion will terminate everything. "The bankruptcy of England will be the lava which is to shake the world and swallow np the kings and the aristocracies, but will cement the interests of the democracy by its eruption. Believe me, Las Casas, in like manner as the vines that cover the foot of Etna and of Vesuvius produce the most deli cious vintages, so will the tree of liberty be come fixed and not to be cast down when it shall have its roots planted in that revolu tionary lava which will have overflowed all the monarchies. May it bloom and flourish for ages ! These may seem strange senti ments for you to hear from my lips; however, they are really mine. I was born a republi can; but destiny and the opposition of Eu rope have made me an emperor. I now await tne luture. Such was the impressive language, in many places attaining the grandeur of prophecy, in which Napoleon, from the calm heights of contemplation, after having held the fate of Europe in the hollow of his hand, announced the inevitable changes visible to him from the summit of his political Pisgah. The fifty years have rolled away; a nephew (not a son) of the Emperor sat for eighteen years upon the throne of France, and has fallen from it. France is again republican; the nations of Europe are preparing to follow her example: the lava of revolution begins to grow hot be neath the feet of Prussia and to throw its warmth into the palace of the Russian Czar. The Cossacks are summoned to extinguish it. Hence the armaments, henoe the diplomatic agitation, hence the hurrying to and fro, on every road and iron rail from the Black Sea to the Neva, and from the Neva towards the Danube. The hour is coming; the supreme conflict is no longer distant. Republican or Lossackr wnicn snail win.' "THE LEAST OF THESE LITTLE ONES From the N. Y. Tmits, "Margaret waters, the baby-farmer, was exe cuted on I uesaaj." London J'ajjer. When shall we have to record a 'similar event in New York? We have offenders enough. If any ene doubts the fact, let him turn to the advertising columns of the lower class of bunday newspapers, and he will find evidence more than enough. Even the pages of certain morning dailies are not free from the occasional taint of the hideous trafflo, It flaunts in open day, and finds a location in Averv anarter oi una creat city, i rom "palatial mansion" in Fifth avenue, down to wretched chambers in the slums of Chatham street, there is accommodation for he perpetration of infant murder suite! t j every rank and condition of life. The fee demanded of the fine lady would probably be considered a fair provision for the rearing of the offspring of the servant-girl, but each of tLem gives, according to her condition, a sum which is perfectly well understood to be an equivalent for puttiDg Borne poor child out of the world. Nor is the Arcadian sim plicity of the country at all free from parti cipation in the gains of infantioide. In the rural districts of this State there are quiet, unpretending cottages which seem, amid embowering foliage, the chosen abode of innocence and peace; but from these places wasted baby-forms are carried into nameless graves. The'offense is rank and smells to heaven." Why is there no hint of its punishment? Are the police under the delusion that they are appointed merely for the purpose of dealing with open and public offensos Can they not move before the exposure of some infant body is folly brought home to an individual I onenuer, or before a Coroners jury nnda some patties unknown guilty of causing the death of Bonie clandestinely born child? Would it be expecting too much of the ener gy and ability of our detective officers to call on them to reply to some of the numerous advertisements, addressed under some transparent t periphrasis or other to 'ladies who have been unfortunate.' If they find that the sum de manded for relieving the mother of her un welcome burden is such as to leave any other alternative for the disposal of the child but murder, we shall concede that there do exist benevolent persons whose anxiety to befriend unfortunate children is beyond all praise, and whoso profession we have entirely misunder stood. The case is easy of proof. There are people who publicly advertise their readiness to take care of mother and child for -a sum which will, on inquiry, be found insufficient to maintain the latter for a year. These peo ple either dispose of their charges tosome other philanthropic individuals, or they retain them in their own houses. If they part with them, where do they go? The number of tender hearted couples who would willingly adopt as their own the offspring of strangers is, it need hardly be said, not very groat in New York. There need be little difliculty in tracing the mode of disposing of any child. If by any one of the hideous devices known to the pro fession" the progress of life is arrested, the course of inquiry is equally open and equally imperative. It is useless to talk of such matters with bated breath, or to seek to cover such terri ble realities with tho veil of a false delicacy. In impudent dehanco of all morality, law, and decency a trade of murder is known and acknowledged to be practiced in our midst. Can it be that tho social degeneracy which follows political corruption like its shadow has already overtaken us, and that we have become callous to the plague-spots that infect society ? Has the flaunting vice, on which our city rulers smile, deadeued the public sense of all goodness and decorum, and lowered onr standard of social morality? The fact would not be without example if it were so; but unless on the strongest of evidence we cannot accept such a conclusion. Respectable citizens have merely ceased to express indignation because of a mistaken belief in their utter powerless ness. From a lethargy like this it is time to rouse ourselves. The evill that is tolerated is aggressive; if we want the good to exist at all it must be aggressive too. The ax is laid to tho upas tree of corruption which threatens to overshadow us, and there are strong and willing hands enough to strike it home, if they were roused to a consciousness of their power. MASSACHUSETTS, THE CENSUS, AND THE QUOTA. From the N. T. World. One of the greatest indecenoies of the cau vass is the fact that General Butler and Senator Wilson are hanging about the elec tion districts of this State. If justice was done, they would hang elsewhere. The leading rogue and dullest blookhead of Mas sachusetts have been seen here before. At an&ther time they were active in forcing this city to do more than its share of fighting, as they now are to take from it a just right of voting. The following offloial statement will show how their own State shirked during the war, and how it grabbed the spoils of victory. We do not include the General's private plunder: Massachusetts, with ten Congressmen and a population of 1,231,000 under the census of 18C0, had to furnish, under a call for 300,000 men, only 15,120. The first nine Congres sional districts of New York Cincluding the city of New York), with a population of 1,218,949, were called upon for 25,106. But now the census is taken the country is astonished to learn that Massachusetts is rapidly growing in numbers, while the city of New York is . standing still. So much for being in disfavor with census-takers. About the time the General Government was calling for men it was giving out valuable banking monopolies. Massachusetts, which claimed it had but few men able to fight, showed that it had many men able to grab the spoils. They were so vigorous and able bodied in this way that we get the following curiousresults: The average number of men furnished by Massachusetts, under a call for 300,000, from each Congressional district was 2107. The average number sent by each Congres sional district in Illinois was 4004. The amount of cuirency given to Massachusetts under the banking law, with a population about one-half that of Illinois, was about $50,000,000; the amount given to Illinois about $9,000,000 or, in proportion to popu lation, about one-twentieth. Currency was given to Massachusetts at the rate of $52 to each inhabitant, and to Illinois at the rate of to, and the same rate to Wis consin and Michigan. The results are that Illinois has to pay 12 per cent, to get currency, while Massachu setts pays bnt b per cent., and has the most men in proportion to brag or loyalty, as they did not go to the war and get killed. When the enrolments were made for quotas the Massachusetts Senators hung about Washington to get construction and rules which would lessen the calls upon that State. The official returns show how well they succeeded. They claimed that every man there, from Senator Sumner down, was suffering under "physical disabilities," or that its population was largely made np of gar rulous old women, like Wilson, who in the Senate is constantly suffering under the pangs of parturition, and each day giving birth to litters or bias wnicn are remorse les&ly drowned by his associates,, as if they were blind puppies, j ueiariu men of New England, having killed the commerce of New York, now call upon itu merchants to crush its political rights. Will they be guilty of this suicidal policy f FBENCH JEALOUSIES. Prom Ik A' Y. 2"rtUT. It is to be leared lUat some or tne vices Appropriate to the Empire &U& lodgmeat ia the French Republic. Suspicions and jeal ousies, at any rate, such as are naturally en gendered in an Imperial court, have already grown up around the tribune of tbo people. At an early dato Trochu was aoensed of sym pathy with the Orleanists, and he was put in charge of the fortifications of Paris so as to keep him out of the politics whih Favre expected to control. The peace mission which Favre himself undertook in some measure owed its failure to the fact that there was no plan agreed upon; the other rulers of Franoe not being willing to int rust authority to the one whom they permitted to talk with the enemy. Thiers, notoriously, was Bent abroad iu order to get rid of him. Gambetta left Paris with scarcely a bon voyage from his associates, and found at Tours so faint a welcome that he en vied Garibaldi the honor of that day. Keratry, disgusted with the slackness of his companions, proposes to exchange his share of the sceptre for the sword, and will com mand in person the forces he is raising in Brittany. Fourichon, a blunt old sailor, is reported to have been fairly elbowed out of the council-rooiu. Perhaps he unamiably ppoke of foots; for, of the naval performances of the Republic, the reoord is a blink. Not only at sea is nothing done, but even the gun boDts of the Seine are silent, and Prussian forces cross French rivers without encoun tering these "floating castles." The generals of the republic seem to pos sess rather less of her confidence than those of the empire excopt, perhaps, Trochu, who is regard d as keeping tho Prussians at bay. General Ducrot, escaping from Sedan, found himself viewed with disfavor in Taris; and undertaking a battle rather in contravention of Trochn's plans, closed his reoord for the present at Chatillon. General Cambriel was relieved of his command on the score of ill health, after the loss of Besancon; but it is noticeable that, though his army intrenched in the passes of the Vosges was the chief bul wark of southeastern France, it only num bered 35,000 men. General d'Aurelles, com manding the Armv of the Loire, which is the only protection of Tours, is kept vibrating between that city and his head quarters, in the vain effort to suit the notions of bis masters; while his army rests in en forced inactivity and a bad military position General Bourbaki, who has just taken com maud of the army of the North with a grand flourish of trumpets, is suddenly compelled to resign on suspicion of treachery. Meanest of all, Garibaldi, lured from his retirement to fight for freedom and the Republio, on account of Gambetta's jealousy is left with a pitiful force of 5000 men to accomplish lm possibilities. Are these coincidences, in the dankest hours of France, accidental ? or are quarre's, suspicions, and jealousies between their leaders to be enumerated among the much-discussed characteristics of the Latin raze ? DR. LANAHAN'S SUSPENSION. From the MethodUU The Book Committee, we are informed by telegrapn, nave suspended JJr. Liananan, with a view to the trial of charges against him. Mne oi their number voted for suspension, four against and two were absent. The charges are mainly those which were before the com mittee last June. One more specification of fact has, if we are correctly informed, been added. The effort to secure suspension has been conspicuous since the meeting of the committee in November, is;). A conside rable part of the investigation in February, 1870, was directed to the ascertainment of grounds for suspending. In June last the com mittee assembled for that object, but their courage failed them. They have since beoome reassured, and have consummated what one of their number, in February last, spoke of as their original purpose." Grave doubts are entertained by some of our best legists whe ther tbo Book Committee nave authority to receive charges against a General Conference oilicer. It is held that the committee, not being a judicial body, are only authorized to act upon facts which come directly to their notice, in the process of their examinations. The power to suspend is deposited with them to be used solely in view of immediate peril to the interests of the concern. Of course, no such peril is now pretended. The charao ter of tho concern, moreover, makes both the agents corporators, and specifies the duration of their office as from one General Confe- ence to another, without reference to an intervening book committee. The legal aspects of the situation both under the terms of the charter and the phraseology of tne Discipline will need to be carefully con sidered. The time chosen for suspension is singularly inopportune. The senior agent. Dr. Carlton, has just presented to his confer ence (the Genesee) a glowing aooount of the prosperity of the Book Concern. He claimed that its business was good and its credit un limited. The sales for months past have been satibfactory. Dr. Liananan was proving him. self more and more to be a vigilant and en terprising administrator. The list of valuable publications was increasing as it had never beiore in the same space of time, and the literary men of the Church were beginning to feel a just pride in the crowing book list of our publishing house. The charges will, or course, be looked at by the Church in their connection with the history of recent events. They come at the end of a persistent effort made by Dr. Lanahan to explore and correct, wuui u ueemeu to uo vue irreguiari ties in the administration of the Book Con cern. Tho committee, at the close of their first investigation, 6o far agreed with him that they found "great raismanaucment and serious losses' in one department of the busi ness, inis was, of course, an ample lustin cation of Dr. Lanahan's proceedings. By a strange mutution of events, the committee have changed front, and Dr. Lanahan finds himself the subject of charges for what he has done. This is not a very cheerful hibtory, but it is history nevertheless. Of course he will meet the charges like a brave and honest man as he is. The bishops have been requested to determine who and how many of their number Bhall preside. The law provides that "by the concurrence of the bibhops present and a majority of the com mittee, he (the accused officer) may be re moved from office in tho interval of the Gene ral Conference. ' An early dato ha been determined"for the trial. We now ask that the trial bean open one. It is unjust that the room in which the investigation is held should be filled with attaches of tho Book Concern As far as is cpnbi&tent with the convenience of tho court, the proceedings should be as open as the day. HON. COLUMBUS DELANO. Prom tie Cincinnati Gazette. Hon. Columbus Delano takes the place of becretary cox, in tue interior Department and at the same time a seat in President Grant's Cabinet. As Commissioner of In temal Revenue, Mr. Delano proved himself a good officer. To reform the abuses iu that department which had obtained during J (.tenon's admiDi6tratin was a task that uiobt men would shrink from, but Mr Dtlano was equal to the occasion, and while fiauds upon the revenue nve not been en tirely fcuppreebf d, they have teen nearly bo, and it has become dangerous to commit them. This is evident from the largo in crease in the revenue, notwithstanding a general reduction iu the rate of taxa tion, lor this success Mr. Delano deaerven credit, and it prepares the publio to place confidence in his ability to manage tne all airs of tho Interior Department, and his firmness to resist tho efforts of land rings, patent nogs, and Indian ririfcs, to obtain access, throngn that depart ment, to the publio Treasury. Oox was suc cessful in conducting the business of the several bureaus under his control in the in terests of the public In doing so he en countered the opposition of the whole army of corruptioniats who closured to obtain a fresh opportunity to swindle tho Indians by means of treaties and contracts to seoure, fraudulently, tho extension of patents; to get hold of publio lands and to fill the various offices with incompetents. It remains for Mr. Delano to continue the policy of his pre decessor. He is more of a politician tb.au Cox and is more politic. Ha may therefore be able to carry out the work of reform and at the same time outgeneral such rascals as Cameron, who hoped upon the retirement of Cox to have a good old time in the various branches of the Interior Department. De lano, in the Internal Revenue Department, made a good reputation, and we look for him to maintain it in the now position in which he Los been placed. It is also to be expected that Mr. Delano in the Cabinet will enable the President to avoid the rocks toward which he has been drifting of late, lie is far better posted in regard to publio sentiment and all that is calculated to give strength to the Republican party than the President, and he will be able to advise tbe latter that he can not touch pitch without being defiled, and that be must, therefore, keep clear of such political prostitutes as bimon Cameron. The record of Grant's administration is, bo far, good. Tho people appreciate the honetty and economy that have characterized it thus far, and they will be glad to be able to continue their confidence. There is no desire for a change in the administration. On the contrary, the people who elected Grant are anxious that he shall in every way continue to prove himself worthy. This anxiety aocounts for the general uneasiness expressed upon the retirement of Cox. It was not on account of the man that the peo ple became alarmed, but because of the causes that led to his resignation. The re tirement of Cox was undoubtedly a triumph for the corruptioniats; but it remains to be seen whether they shall gain anything by the chan ge. SPECIAL NOTICES.
