(Correspondence of the Fhllidelphl* Evenln* Bulletin.] Lombok, May'.27th, 1868.— A general review of' 'European events presents no striking feature at the present time, and a certain dullness prevails, which may, however, he. interrupted at any mor ment by some startling news from"some part of the Continent. Paris is generally a pretty’ pro ductive soii for extraordinary or spicy events. Thus the Archbishop of Algiers has An Interesting quarrel with the Governor-General of that colony> and appealed in person to tho Emperor, bat nothing has as yet been decided. The sibstonce of the complaint is that abont 1,400 -Arab chil dren, whose parents had perished In consequence of the late famine, and wha had been offered asylums by the clergy, were returned to the na tive tribes by order of the Governor, Marshal Mc- Mahon. The reason alleged for the latter's con duct is the evils that would .be sure to ensue among the Mussulman population from attempts at proselytism; but the Archbishop declares that not the slightest attempt has ever been made; by him or bis clergy at direct or indirect constraint In questions of religion. In Italy the profuse distribution of the newly, created Order of the Corona d’Xtoiia (Crown of Italy) has created considerable ill-feeling among the ambitious, and has been .the object of mnch ridicule among the public and In the press. There is, besides, such a want of discrimination shown in tho selection of individuals, that it is feared the time will soon come .wheff the 'wont: of the Order will baa mark of distinction rather than the pos session of it The Eastern question remains in statu quo. The Turkish Government has much to say about reforms; but reforms in an absolute empire, like that of the Sultan, generally mean nothing but the accession to power and influence of the Sul tan’s favorites, and' the removal of the others. Railroad projects to unite Western Europe with Turkey, and to open the grand route to India and Persia, occupy the minds of the Christian population of Turkey, but it may be many years before such plans con be realized. Russia is building railroads to the south and east of that vast empire with an activity that clearly shows that that the St. Petersburg Cabi net is alive to the requirements of the age and anxious to unite the whole of Russia by means of a net of railways at an early date. . Austria Is still struggling with her financial difficulties. The resolution of the Committee o f Finance of the .House of Representatives to re commend to the House the redaction of twenty five per cent, of the rate ef interest on the nar lional debt has created just indignation over the whole of- Germany. It is rightfully asserted; that such a proceeding shows an utter .want of states manship, and that, rather than have recourse to such an extreme measure, which would be no thing but an open acknowledgment of national bankruptcy, the revenues of the country should be had recourse to by taxation, and only if the last resource had proved insufficient, tho ob jectionable extreme measure should have been proposed. . - 1 The Zollverein Diet at Berlin is adjourned and the members of the Parliament have gone to Tiel on an excursion, to see the North German fleet and navy yards. The impression prevails in Great (Britain that nothing will contribute more to the final settlement of German unity than a sound basis of the commercial relations between the North German Confederation and the Bouthem States. England is the natural friend and ally of Germany, and will rejoice at the efforts and success of that nation towards be coming once more a united people. BELGIUH. Royal Welcome to Admiral Farragut. Qceek’s Hotel, London, June 9,lB6B.—Tele grams from Brusselsjdated in that city this morn ing, have just come to hand announcing that King Leopold H.,with tho Qneen Marla,jiffs wife, had arrived In the capital, from the palace at Lacken, to tender a royal welcome to Admiral Farragut, of the United States Navy, who arrived from Antwerp. A grand banquet will be given to Farragnt in Brussels to-night. ~ Britlsb Comments upon Napoleon’s Past and Present Position—-Cite Policy o* England.. ■ : [Brim the London Times, May £».] The Emperor Napoleon well nnderstood the duties of his position when he proclaimed that not a cannon should be fired in Europe without the consent of the Tuileries. As a keeper of the European peace the French Monarch justly felt tbathe was-omnipotent. The Crimean expedi tion,. as well as the campaign of Lombardv, hod they been undertaken solely In fulfillment' of a pacific mission—had they been wars truly waged • for- an idea—would have won him the blessings of hnmanity. Had he satisfied the world ‘.of his upright ness and disinterestedness,, “the mere lifting of bis little.-finger/’-WOuld have been sufficient -to prevent both the" invasion of Denmark' and the AUstro-Frussian war in' Germany. Unfortu- , nately, however, he did not come out of Italy/ with dean hands,’ and: ho had all but sold his neutrality in Germany by his premature demands for territorial compensation. - The would-be ■. Mediator and Arbiter appeared/ not untainted with selfish partisanship. The vol unteer policeman was no safer than the/suspi dons characters'he had set himself to watch and control. Indeed, since the formation of a United Italy and of a Confederated . Germany has smoothed /over' the- greatest - difficulties with which the Treaties of 1815 ’ had' trammeled mo dern diplomacy, the greatest danger to European tranquillity has arisen from ■ the so-called “sus ceptibilities” of,the French people, and from the hesitation and inconsistency of their Imperial rnler. The necessity for. .a return to .the princi ples of 1815 is, therefore, alt, the more urgently felt; a return to the ideas of that European com pact which made the independence of each State the object of the common solicitude; and denounced any attempt at a breach of the peace against one os tantamount ; to a declaration of war against oil. Where the high preponder ance and, as- it - were;/ the protectorate of one power falls short, .there the.cooperation of great and small should step In,: No one can' be omni potent against all. There always'was, and is, and must be a majority of nations and Govern ments in Europe interested in the .preservation of peace, audit Can only be from ; improvidence and want of organization that the - many allow themselves to be disquieted by tbe threatening preparations'br the secidf'designs bfihSTowv''Ah insatiable promoter of “bloated armaments” may come to be considered as great a public enemy as a perpetual quarrel-seeker. Tho author of the anonymous pamphlet reckons on the neutrality of England as a matter of course; He might with greater confidence rely on England being, inva riably found on the side/of , the peace-lovers and peace-makers. England is at this very moment giving proofs of a disinterestedness /which ap peared fabulous to most of her neighbors; Shots spontaneously retreating from a country which PHILADELPHIA, WBDNESD AY, JUNE 10, 1868. an easy though not Inglorious victory had laid at her discretion. , Many years ■ have not passed since she paid her homage to the principle of tun Hpnality by .withdrawing from the' protectorate of thsTonlan Islands. Even more recently she testified her readiness to accede to the doctrine of non-intervention, by abandoning all reversionary claims to the Crown of Hanover. But by these very acts, by which England has given such tan gible proofs that she renounces all Ideas of con-' quest and aggrandizement, she has also proved what store she sets by the blessings of peace. THE FENIANS. General O’Neill’* Secret Circular to th« Fenian Centres. [Wuhiuston (May to Correggondsnee of the London I have received lafhrzhaUoh which convinces me that the Fenian movement' against. Canada will be resumed in June or July—perhaps shortly after the meeting of the, Democratic National Convention on the 4th of July. O’Neill’s pur pose Is to take advantage of toe political excite ment of the year; he "reasons • that party leaders will not dare to oppose him at the time when votes am sought at any sacrifice. Ho continues his tour of the States; he'addressed; the Fenian ‘‘State Convention” of Pennsylvania yesterday, in the State Senate Chamber; forty-nine “circles’’ were represented by delegates; ah address of- the .customary sort was adopted; I have obtained a copy of a secret circular forwarded by O’Neill to the.Fenlan “centres.” Itcovers eighteen pages. I present the concluding portions, which may be accepted as a genuine expression : of O’Neill’s views abd purposes: - “And now, brothers; on you rests the respon sibility of success or failure; Fight we will, in any event; and If you but do your duty success Is sure to crown our efforts. Bat you mttßt do it at oace; the hour Is propitious. ' Obey the orders aod instructions sent yon from; these headquar ters. . Pay no attention to counsel or advice from any other Source. Beware of political tricksters who' may want to join our organization for their own selfish purposes; they have worked much mischief in the past; have nothing to do with them in the future. Our organization has only one mission—the liberation of Ireland. All side Issueß, introduced by designing men, areaimpiv meant to detractor mislead from the original purpose, and must bo avoided. No man travel ing around, not authorized from these head quarters; has any right to organize circles, and should not be permitted to address Fenian meet ings. No matter what ontside recommendations he may have, or who he may know, ■or what name he may assume, authority must come from the proper Bource. Men who form what they call ‘independent circles’ are not Fenians. All who are entitled to the name of Fenians must conform to the Fenian constitution, which is the only guide for all, from the President down, and no man' has a right to step outside of it. 1 would particu larly caution you against agents who are going around the country organizing *seeret Oath-bound organizations.’ They mean no good for Ire land. Brothers, it has been stated, falsely, that we are ‘too virtuous’ to revenge the death of ibemartys who were murdered at Manchester. ‘We are not in favor of shedding blood.’ ■ Be lieve it not, brothers. On the night of the Ist of June, 1866, your present executive, or ‘leader,’ as some would call him, had 500 men without artillery, under his command at Frenchman’s Creek, C. W. He knew he was being closely snrrounded by nearly 5.Q00 men. Did lie then give any proof of being afraid to ‘shed blood?’ N'o; he was willing sacrifice himself and every man that he commanded in 1 fair and honorable fight.’ You know the. result. On the following , evening,, after marching nearly forty miles without a mouthful to eat, and having had two engagements with the enemy; he had a little over3oo men at Fort Erie, ana had positive information that the enemy, numbering between 5,000 and 6,000, were within an hour’s march of him; their drums and bugles could be distinctly heard in his camp. Did he show any signs of be .tag afraid to ‘shed blood?’ No brothers; he then believed that the great , movement for Ireland’s redemption was going on elsewhere; and the men are living to-day to whom he sent the following message: / “ ‘lf the movement is going on elsewhere. I will remain here until to-morrow, and will make this old fort a slaughter-pen, which I know 7 it will be, for 1 will never surrender.’ / “But when word was brought him that the movement was stopped through the interference of the United States authorities, he then de manded transportation for himself and his men. When no good to the cause of Ireland'could re sult from it he was ‘too virtuous’to ‘shed one drop of blood,’ either of his own or that of others. He is now. Waiting to shed rivers of blood in ‘fair and honorable fight,’ for he firmly believes that rivers of blood wlii have to flow ba-_ fore Ireland can take her place among the na tions of the earth; but not one drop that he can prevent shall ever flow by the 7 dagger of the as sassin. Revenge sure and certain, not oblv for ihe murders of the Manchester martyrs, and the cruel treatment of the other Irish patriots, who are now pining in British dungeons, but for all the crimes that England has perpetrated upon Ireland for the last /700 years. But it shall be done in ‘fair and honorable fight,’ and in no other way. “Brothers, I have spoken plainly, and per haps you will say/tod strongly; but lam In ear nest, and shall act np to what I say. I have a lifetime and an/existence to devote to the cause of Ireland; but I have not one moment of time to fritter away at the whims or fancies of any man or set of men. -1 am ready for the work. Yon have brought us face to face to face with the enemy, Let who will go back or desert, we in tend to go and fight. On yon be the responsibil ity of mccess or failure. But I have no fears, brothers; I know you will come to onr assist ance/ and participate in, the glorious work, for which millions yet unborn will bless both you anp üb, and a just God will smile upon your ef forts and crown them with success. / " Fraternally youre, 7 • . John O’Neill, President Fenian Brotherhood. POLITICAI. An Old Democrat lor Grant—An In foresting JLetter. Colonel I. N. Morris, of Quincy, 111., well known in former years as a prominent member of the Democratic party, made a political speech in that city on the 30th ultimo, in which he came out boldly, and unequivocally in favor of the election of General Grant to the Presidency. The Quincy Whig publishes a full report of his speech. In tne conrse of it Colonel Morris read the following letter from General Grant, written in 1864, when the people were already looking to bim in connection with the highest office in their gift, Colonel Morris had written to him to know if, under any circumstances, he would allow the use of bis name as a candidate. To this commu nication General Grant replied as follows : Nashville, Tenn., Jan 20, 1864,—Zfon. /. Y. Morris : —Dear Sm: Your letter of the 29th of December I did not- receive until two days ago. 1 receive many such; but do not answer. Tours, however, is written m such a kindly spirit, mid as you aßk for an answer, I will not withhold it. Allow me to say, however, that l am not a politician, never was, and hope never lobe, and could not writo a political letter. My only desire is to serve the country in hot present trials. To do this efficiently it is necessary to have the confidence of the army and the people. Iknow no way to better secure thls end thauhy 'a faithful performance of my duties. So long as I hold my present position Ida not believe that lliave the right to criticise the policy or orders of those above me*or to give Utterance to views, of my own, except to the authorities at Washing ton, through the General-in-Chief of the army. In this respect I know I have proven myself a “good soldier." In your letter you say that I have it in my power to. be the next President. This is the last thing in the.world I: desire. I would regard. -such a consummation as bring highly unforth OUR. WHOLE COUNTEY. nate for myself, If oot.for the country. .Through Providence I have attained to more thau T ever hoped, and with the' position liiow hold in the regular army, Hallowed to retain lt;I wißßemoro than satisfied. ; I certainly shall never shape a sentiment, or the expression of a thought with a view of, being a candidate for office. I scarcely know the inducement that could be held out to me to accept office,and unhesitatingly say that linfin- Itely,prefer my present position to that bf Any civil office within the gift of the people. Tala is a private letter to yon, not intended for others to see or , read, because I want, to avoid being , heard from by the public except through : acfsjn the performance of my legitimate duties. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your, obedient servant, u. 8. Gbakt. * As Col. Morris says, this letter of General Grant portrays his modesty, his wisdom, his de votion to dnty,: bis unambitious nature, his fidelity to the public Interest, his simplicity of character, his firmness, his unerring foresight,: his greatness of soul, his .moralgrandeur of war- , acter. He could not, indeed, then have been spared from the army. He 1 had a great work to perform, and no allurement of civil promotion could tempt him firom it. But tho war is now cnded. and the, people demand that in the some spirit with which he . subdued;the rebellion, he shall take charge of the civil administration of the government. They know that he will be a safe depository of power, and oh his election the hopes of the nation depend, v Ho w Ltmjr Halt To 7 The Democratic party are banging, like Mo hammed’s coffin, .between the heaven of princi ple and the earth of lo w influences; drawn np by the aspiration for truth, and down by the gravi tation of vulgar habit. It is bCautiful to see the party organs hanging In space! Tho strict; Im partiality of the World, tar instance, between the opposite poles of political belief, is a phenome non . unparalleled in the annals of po-; litical astronomy. No World- that Swings in space, perfectly .balanced by conflict tag attractions, ever held Its even way with more rigid absence of deviation towards either. It does not know whether It is to believe in the absolnteproßcription of all races but one, or in the absolute equality of all. .. It does not know whether it is to favor gold payment of the debt, or[to denounce it as oppression. It does not know whether it is to support unlimited green backs for five-twenties,or to spit upon the notion as repudiation. It does not know whether it is to advocate Salmon P. Chase or, George IL Pen dleton for the Presidency. It cannotknow,until after July 4th, and meanwhile itmuat be talking, without precluding any of these contingencies. 8o this morning we have an elaborate argument to prove that both these candidates, being states men, And men of .positive views; are therefor so nearly alike that it really makes no-difference which. The trifling circumstance that they are diametrically opposed on every important ques tion of public policy sinks'into nothingness, in the view of the gifeatparty whose motto iff Wat’s is “Principles, not men.” —New York Post.

Card from tub President of the market Street Railway. " Office West Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company, June 9, 1868. — T0 the Editor of the Erelong Bulletin —Sir : In accordance with the announcement,made last week, we yes terday introduced the. receipting system in con nection with the collection of fares.; The trial did not prove conclusive, partly on account of a mistake made in printing the numbers on the checks, and partly on account of thC-system of fares now existing among the several roads, which prevented Us from placing a value on the check, which would have operated as a reduction of fare, as an inducement for passongers to insist upon receivivg them. The crude working of the experiment, however, has demonstrated the fact that the plan will be a good one when properly adjusted, audit is our intention to intrO duceit in a practicable form at the earliest' mo ment. The public are aware that railway com panies lose heavily by dishonest conductors, and that all their receipts pass through the bands of these officials without any check whatever upon them. While the great ma jority are worthy, Upright men, yet ■ there' is' a largo minority who cannot resist the temptation to apply the money of the com panies to their own nee. The probability is that if all Die earnings of the several companies went into their treasuries they would bo en abled not only to reduce their fores, but to give honest conductors the remuneration they ought to receive for- their 'hard services. We believe' that under the proposed plan of checking, fares could bo reduced to six cents,. without affecting the .dividends of ..the,, companies. W? hope shortly, with the co-operation of the other roads, to introduce the system upon the following plan, namely: To abolish the present ticket system altogether, and establish,- a uniform six cent rate for all fares; conductors' to issue checks for every fare they receive, which ehall be Worth to the passenger three-fourths of , a coot-' Eight of these to be accepted as a fare, and.anew one given from the box, the ; same as' if It were a cash fare; thuß the rate wonld be p'rac tmally reduced to five and a quarter cents.'
