(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.

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

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.

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

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

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."

power to. be the next President. This is the
last thing in the.world I: desire. I would regard.

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

* 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

titles, and hope that ihenamea of these delinquents
may be stricken from the roll and give place to

that men who have served throughout the war

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.'
Under tho proposed plan there could be no
frauds practiced upon the companies, unless , the
public ore willing to forego the ’ advantages of
lower fores for which thpy hove been so clamorous.
