THE RECREC TREATY.
The strangest" 'development of the war. just
-begun was made yesterday. It was that in
.1560, about the time of the Luxembourg diffi
culty; France proposed a treaty to Prussia, in
which it recognized her acquisitions from Aus
tria, and acquiesced in the union of the North
and South German States, except Austria. In
consideration of this condescension, Prussia
was to facilitate .the French acquisition of
Luxembourg, and' .krance finding it necessary
to absorb Belgium,"•, Prussia was to lend her
'assistance' in that' measure. • now' far PrOssitr
had proceeded in the negotiation of this extra
ordinary compact does not yet appear. But
there is naturally great indignation.' among the
Powers, especially in England, that such a
project should have been proposed by France,
and that it should have . been entertained for
a moment by Prussia. The authenticity of the
proposed treaty is doubted_; but. the Lombri .
Times, which made it public yesterday, declares
to-day that it can give proofs of its: genuine
ness.
A deliberate plan like this for extinguishing
the free, enlightened and brave little kingdom
of Belgium, and annexing it to France, must
be viewed in this republic with even more in
dignation than it has excited in- Europe.
Everybody knows that the Emperor Napoleon
has long coveted Belgium, but no one dreamed
that his desire for it could have been counte
nanced by any other power; and if it shall
be proved that Prussia seriously listeneq, to the
proposal, and took any steps towards making
the treaty,it will excite as much feeling against
her as against France. As Great Britain is the
fast friend of Belgium, and as her independ
ence is guaranteed by treaties, the _secret nego
tiations to` extinguish her are regarded as au
insult to all the other powers, but especially to
England. There is'a - grea't deal of interesting
secret history about this affair which will have
to be brought out, and the hostility between
the two powers that were engaged in the plot•
may hasten its development. It is such things
as these that increase the disgust of true Amer
lam republicans with empires, kingdoms, dy
nasties, and all the middle-age institutions and
superstitions tbat oppress the different peoples
of Europe. Happily, nothing of the kind can
ever exist on this continent.
A NATIONAL VICE
The - Honorable J6lin Morrissey, member of
Congress from New York, encouraged by the
great success of his gambling establishment at
Saratoga during this and past seasons, expects
to increase its attractions in such a way that
ladies will be tempted to visit it and join in the
elegant little amusements of the place, the chief
of which is faro. The Honorable John Mor
rissey hopes •to make Saratoga the Baden-
Baden of America; that is, in the way of
gambling. Enlarging his establishment to the
dimensions of the famous Conversation House
of Baden-Baden, and introducing games, in
addition to faro, that have been made fashion
able there and at Hombourg, Monaco and
other of the genteel hells of Europe, tb
Honorable John Morrissey hopes to render his
country a greater service than he has been able
to render it as the representative in Congress
from the great city of New York.
It is seriously stated that such are the views
of one of the representative men of New York
city, who is the chief lion—or tiger--of the
chief inland watering-place of New York State.
The wonder is that the statement creates no
surprise, for it does not. People have groWn
so used to the idea, if not to the habit, of
gambling, that they would not-be much shocked
if Congress made an appropriation for a na
tional faro bank, or if a New York sensation
preacher delivered a sermon on the pleasures
and advantages of the " sport." Everybody
knows that Mr. Morrissey is a professional
gambler; that he made his fortune in his pro
fession, and that, without that fortune, he
never would have been. elected to Congress.
His case is a fine example to the youth of the
country, showing that if they wish to rise,
grow rich and go to Congress, they must not
follow the precepts of the Sunday school books,
but study faro and learn how to ran a:bank—
in winter in the city and4iu,summer at a fash
ionable resort.
The gambling at faro and at other games
with cards is, however, only a small portion of
that which is practiced in this country. Gamb
ling in stocks and gold is a million times more
extensive, and it is even more demoralizing.
Then the betting that accompanies every event
of public interest is only another form of
gambling. We all know how even in so grave
a matter as the impeachment of the President
of the United States, there was heavy betting
all over the country ou the result. Of the
bating on elections that goes on all over the
country continually, no estimate can ever be
made. The late steamboat tam on the Mis
aissippi was made the subject of bets said to
have exceeded a million of dollars. On the
ocean yacht race now pending there - is very
heavy betting. People are also beginning to
bet on the European war, as to which party
will win the first battle and which will be the
victor in the end.
Horse-racing, cricket, base ball and other
amusemehts are made the occasion of continual
gambling, or betting, which is the same thing;
for when money is gained or lost without any
exercise of honest industry, or without an
honorable business understanding - between
parties, it is nothing but gambling. During
the last year or two base bidl—in itself a fine
manly game —bas been degraded, by occasional
scandaleus scenes that have lowered it very
much in the estimation of good citizens. Some
of the clubs of professional players, who make
their living by it, are suspected or accused by
rivals of resorting to very
.13w expedients in
order to win money. If this goes on; the
•" national game" will soon become a national
diSerace. • '
Of the smaller kinds jof gamblino• and bet-
ting, such as the bOot-blacks, the news-boys,•
the bre-runners and other youngsters indulge
in, a good deal might be said. They acquire
in, their pursuits in youth a training for the
greater fornis of the vice that are opened to
them when they come -to Intinhood. Another
form 'of gamblifig, in 'which silly women as
well as men are duped,, is - that of ' lottery
Although the business of lotteries oi•
all kinds is strictly forbiden by the laws of (ilk
State, it is carried on to a shameful extent in
all parts ` of 'Philadelphia. No one can
imagine the pernicious effects of indul-.
gence in thii kind of gambling,
the victims
,of which are, unfortunately, the
poorest and most ignorant among the peOple.
Alueh-more might be said by way of-illustrating
the: spread of this habit of gambling, iiu one
77ty or another, among the American people.
It has become a national vice .as much as in
temperance. The two vices, in fact, promote
one - another, for gambling as often: leads to
drunkenness as drunkenness leads to gambling.
if the temperance advocates would take up the
gambling question and fight the two vices at
one and the same time, the effect might
,be
excellent. •
DONE AND TO BE DONE.
, The Citizens' Association, when it brought
its detailed report of the condition of the rail
way tracks of Philadelphia before the public, in
its appeal for relief to the Court of Quarter
Sessions, failed in its immediate purpose; but
succeeded in accomplishing a most important
improvement in the condition of the streets.
Never, since the - . Street :railways began to be
laid down, has.there been such au awakening
among the public-spirited gentlemen who have
so disinterestedly undertaken the development
of the suburbs of Philadelphia, and the intra
mural transportation of the people, all for seven
cents per head. On every line of road, gangs of
men- are at-work,-filling up-the gullleys,-levelling
off the liilloCkS, kind restoring the roadu ay . to a
condition Of good order. That ibis is being
done voluntarily, on the mere suggestion ofThe
Citizens' Association, and not upon any
coui
pulslon, is greatly to the credit of those much
abused corporations, the railway COrupanies.
They seem - to have needed a ..formal reminder
of their.negleceof the provisions of their chart,.
ers, and a specific statement of the work which
was to be done; but this reminder being given,
they haVe gone to
.wolk . vigorously and have
really effected as much of an improvement in.,.
the condition and appearance .of the streets. as
is possible under the cobble-stone dispensation.
The Citizens' Association deserves credit for
What it has done in - this - slirection. Now there
is another important work remaining to be
done,-and needing to be thine at once. Having
persuaded the Board of Presidents to wake up
to their duty, the Association can scarcely do
better than to take another of our Boards un
der -its friendly care. The Board of Health
oilers a wide field for. the energies of the
Citizens' Association, and we invite the imme
diate attention of its officers to some of the
more stilkingPOiiiff - of Aliel:Ward — a Health's
ueglect of duty, hoping for the same happy re
nits in this as in the former case. And we
would recommend the Association to proceed
upon the same principle of action, namely a
publication, in detail, of the work to be don'e
by the Board of Health.
If the Citizens' Association will take up a
single branch of this work at a time, it will be
easier for it to procure publication in the daily
papers, for any single general statement of
diese delinquencies would be too much for any
ordinary daily paper. And to begin with, we
call attention to the condition of most of the
unimproved lots within the limits of the built
portion of the city. These are usually made
the dumping-ground for all the ashes, kitchen
,dlal and other garbage of the surrounding
neighborhood, becoming gradually heaped up
with these deposits until the sidewalks are in
vaded and eventually obliterated, covered out
to the curb with a medley of 'uncleanness
which constitutes a first-class nuisance. As an
illustration; selected from hundreds of similar
cases, there is such a vacant lot as this on
South Twelfth street, between Shippen and
Fitzwater streets. For years past this lot has
been a favorite receptacle for all such rubbish
as we have described, the side-walk being
covered with it, at some points quite out to the
gutter. Last summer we devoted several
weeks to an experiment upon the Board of
Health, the object being to ascertain if it was
possible to get that particular side-walk opened,
and that particular nuisance suppressed. We
made the case Very fsmiliar indeed to the Board
of Ilealth. For a matter of six weeks that lot
was the subject of oral and written communi
cations. We made it matter of public interest,.
We - made it a matter of personal favor. We
invaded the sanctum sanctorum of the Board,
and lavished the most persuasive diplomacy
upon Presidents, Secretaries, Clerks, Inspec
tors, Committees. Nor Were we ungraciously
received. Our statements were booked.
Elaborate notes were takeu. Orders
were issued to the placid Inspector who was so
accustomed "not to do it." After a lively
campaign of several weeks we gained an im
portant point. Notice was given to the owner
to clean and fence . llis property ! At last we
were approaching success. It only needed
now to await the expiration of the legal time
of notice, and the Board of Health was to
march in, spade, scrape and fence-rail, and oc
cupy the ground. We reposed upon our arms,
with the comfortable consciousness of having
done at least one good deed for our country.
The days passed on, and so did the summer ;
and then our dream of good deeds accord
plished Was rudely_broken- by a visit --to:our
lot. re There it lay, sweltering in all its old
filthiness; and . there it is; to-day, uglier and
dirtier thah ever, a perpetual protest against
the neglect of the Board of Health.
This case is'not at all an exceptional one.
Scores or hundreds of similar ones can be
found in 'Various parts of the city, and as they
involve not only the question of, municipal
Cleanliness, but that of serious obstruction of
the sidewalks, they dome fairly under the juris
diction of the Citizens' Association, and we
hope they will receive its early attention.
PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, TUESDAY - JULY 26,1.870.
, .
would be well if the inspectors of the ,Associa
don were to prepard , a list of the properties
whose owners thug habitually violate the city
Ordinances, and the publication of such a list
would be sufficient, in many cases, to rddress
the evil, while it would prepare the way for the
prosecution of those who can only be ap
proached throUgh the fear of impending dam
ages.
DEAD MEN'S SHOES.
There is something peculiarly repulsive in
that eager thirst for office, which, setting aside
that decent regard for the solemnity 'of' death
which is one of the characteristics of all human
nature, starts in pitrAtit of theemottunents.and
hondrs of every vacant . position before the
breath is fairly out of the dying incumbent's
body, and besieges the appointing pdwer with
petitions that - are often the first intimation
which the Executive receives of the death 4
some faithful , public officer. A few years•ag'o;
this ilidecent haste shocked the sensibilities of
those who witnessed it, and shamed the few
hungry aspirants who . practiced it. :But.. time
and custom have - barilened- public, t .
sentimen
on the subject, and public sentiment'. is the
worse, as it always .js, for every indurating
process.
The last illustration of this undue haste to
wear " dea&men's shoes," which we`haye had
in this community, is in the case of the death of
General Wm. A. Leech, the late • Register of
Wills. General Leech's term of office has only
six months to run, and the natural' Suggestion
was immediately made that during this -short
• time his wife and children should continue- to ,
receive the emoluments of the — office. This
seems due, not only on account of the excel
lent character of the deceased; and -•the - high
reputation which he enjoyed as a patriotic and
valuable soldier during the Rebellion, but also
by reason of the fact that - the lond: contest at
finally terminated in his favor, de
prived him of a very large portion of the le
gitimate '.ernoluinents - of the" - office:: , Under
these circumstances there was a manifest -pro
priety •in letting this dead man's shoes alone,
and allowing his family to enjoy whatever
proper income belongs to his office for the un
expired term.
Instead of this, General Leech was scarcely
dead, before petitions for his !‘ shoes."_began to •
pour into Harrisburg, and long before he was
buried; tidily applications had - been made by
or in behalf of different persons, eager to grab
the six month's emoluments of his office. Iflt
were attainable r it would be a- good thing to
publish a list of these .applicants •for -an--office
whose incumbent was scarcely yet cold in death.
Not that the -- case • is exceptional,-foritistin
fortunately„
. the fashjsm of the day ; but it is
such an, exceeding bad fashion that whatever
„would tend to discountenance it and break - It
L T would be an advantage to our public morals.
Who these particular thirty applicants
for " dead men's shoes " are we do
not know or wish . to know.
They.have only followed common precedent
in their conduct. Each has done what he
knew all the. rest. would do, and will- justify
himself accordingly. But Governor Geary will
do himself honor if he makes this case the op
portunity to establigh-a:new precedent, and to
rebuke a practice which can scarcely be called
- thoroughly 'decent. - If he will ignore every ap
plication sent to him prior to General Leech', ,
Itmeral,,antl-carry-o t_the-suggestion—made-in
this paper several days ago, by making such ;Ili
arrangement of the office of Registerof Will
as will secure its profits to the widow and chit
dren of the late incumbent, he will effeet tier
double good of doing an act of justice to a
worthy officer and rebuking a growing practico
which ought to be broken up:
FIREMEN'S RIOTS AND INSURANCE
Under the laws of this State, and probably
of all others, a city or borough is liable to p.ty
for all loSses of property caused by riots within
its boundaries. Such laws are salutary, and
indeed essential; for every municipal govern
ment, with the knowledge of such a law, takes
measures to keep the peace within its limits,
and by maintaining a police force sufficient to
control all riotously-dis Posed persons, is able to
preserve property Pima destruction, and thus
avoid damages. Philadelphia, in times past,
has had practical illustrations of the operations
of the law.
Philadelphia is likely to. ;have new illustra
tions of the law, though under a somewhat dif
ferent phase. It will be remembered that early
in the morning of Sunday, July 10th,there was
outrageous rioting among our volunteer fire
men, and, as part of the revelry of the preced
ing night, an incendiary fire occurred ou Broad
street, near Vine; which destroyed a great deal
of valuable property. One piece of this propert
was insured to
. a considerable extent in au
Eastern Company. That Company, we un
derstand, refuses to pay the amount claimed of
it, taking the giound that the fire which de
stroyed the property was the result of a riot,
and the city of Philadelphia is responsible for
all destruction of property, within its limits,
that is caused by riots. It is probable that
there will be litigation in this matter, and tli
public will await the result with considerable
interest. If it shall be decided that the city is
to pay for all losses caused by the disorderly
volunteer firemen and their followers, it will
probably be thought that a Paid Fire Depart
ment would be cheap if it were to cost ten
Limes the amount estimated. The question
raised by the insurance company we have re
ferred to is a very interesting one ; so teach so'
that it is a wonder it has never been raised be
fore; for our firemen, even when not incen
diaries, are often nothing but an undisciplined
mob of rioters, who destroy with water as
much property as they save.
We see it stated that 20,000 Germane in New
York are ready to volunteer for the service of
Prussia, and.that General Sigel offers to lead
a division of volunteers. In a descent on the
-French coast. Of course:snch statements 'as
this are to be taken with great allowance. But
we rather think if anything like volunteering
for either-Prussia or France were undertaken
in any part of this country, 'President Grant,
whose duty it is to see that the neutrality laws
are not violated, would have something to say.
Let Germans and Frenchmen go to their re
spective countries and volunteer, if they wish
to; but organized expeditiOns from. this
con nnty cannot be tolerated. As for General
Sigel's proposed filibustering movement, it
may be set down as all gammon.
, G LEA Et OF . , ISE.% SE.,
Our Pottsville - correspondent - mentions to- -
day, the. forMation of a. new Union among
the German miners who haire "bolted" from
the Workingmen's .13,enevolenr, Association,
and determined to' adopt the ,admirable princi
ple• of attending to their own business and' let
ting their 'employers attend to theirs. They
propose to make their Union honestly a hone-
fief - alOne; organized for the relief ottheir
the burial of their dead, and - the support of
their ,These ininers are thoroughly
sick of the lawlessness and violence' of their
restless Celtic associates, and have become con
vinced that their true interests do not lie in the
direction of cOntributing of their hard-earned
wages to support other men in idleness and to
stir up, dissention and ill-will between the em-
Ployers.and the employed. Such a Union as
the German. miners propose to form. is based :
upon sound,fatienaLOnciples. if its Tem
hers have the cbtirage- and good sense to carry
out, their present design,they will find their ad-,
vantage in it; in more ways than one. They
will.save their money for their own proper
benefit. They will cultivate good- whole,
some feeling of fellowship among themselves.
And they will .win the respect, the sYmpathy
and encouragement of their employers.
,
The German
: miners have a hard vein to
work,.in setting_up for themselves, .against the
arrogant tyranny
,of-the old-Union. - They-will
be met by threats and violence from. the more
brutally-disposed, and by plausible sophiStry
and cajolery from the intriguing demagogues
who usually control the trades-unions for their
own ends. If they can" maintain themselves
agth*,oiese combined hostilities, they will
accomplish an amount of good which will not
only reward them in direct benefit to 'them
selves, but will also exercise a most powerful
influence throughout the entire coal region.
They deserve-- every, possible encouragement
and support from the coal operators , and froin
the people of Schuylkill county and the adjacent
mining districts, If they can achieve their in
dependence of the old trade tyraimy, they will
set an example Which will, sooner or later, .be
followed by the best men in every branch of
the trades-unions of this country.
Why should the marriage of Senator Ames
to Miss Blanche Butler have been made a sub

Itiers Case.
Nxw Yonic. July 26.—Jno. Riel, at the
Tombs, awaiting the rapidly-approaching day
of b execution for the murder of Officer
Smedick, has issued an address to the people
of New York in which be reiterates the
charges against his victim, Smedick, often re
peated by him to the reporters. He says
Officer Smedick frequently ill-treated him, and
says, while he is anxious to live, he is still pre
pared to die. He denies having shot Smedick
in the back, and nays the officer beat him and
he shot him in return.
The Dilingtsra of the Future.'
One Dr. H. H. Guernsey has been to Niagara
Falls, and makes the following predictions,for
whose fulfillment we are patiently waiting :
" As the Falls recede a little less than a foot a
year—about a mile In five thousand years—by
examining the character 'of the rocks and the
dip o the strata, we can predict the' appear
ance4.which Niagara will present for two hun
dred centuries, providing that in the mean
time no change takes place in the present or
der of nature. Thus, in five thousand years
the main fall will be a little above the head of
Goat Island ; the American Fall will have dis
appeared, and Goat Island will be an island
no longer. The height of the fall will then be 20
feet less than it now is. Another five thousand
vearsrand_the height of_the fall will then be re.
duced by forty more feet. In ten thousand
more years the- gorge will -have ; -lengthened
back to the head.of the rapids, and all that
constitutes the present Niagara will have dis-
ippeared. 'There will be no great Gataract,i)ut

I From the N. Y. Herald of to-day.J
osiu.v, July 2.3:—T0-day goes uon the record as Me'
f the dullest of the year. • Bulls' and " biiars sue
climbed to the heat, and only lazily stirred themselves
in the law rare moments when orders were to be ex
ecuted. The only activity was in the forenoon, when
gold advanced tram 1193 ii to 12134 on the report that Eng
land aid Prussia had secretly concluded a treaty of
aili
ence, N% bleb WAS followed by the announcement that the
Bank of England was likely still further to advance"the
rate of discount. Bonds coming better in the afternoon
there was a decline to 1313 e:, which was assisted \by ra
more of peace, based upon the republication of \an old
treaty proposed In • 1866 by France to Prussia,
and which, by a curious misunderstanding, NilikEl
hOven as a recent document. a The Lotaren
uarkets were unsettled at the close, and
bonds yielded to 5134, which again advanced gold to 121.
The street is still distracted by conflictingfable quota
tions of the European markets, and the Ei glish cousots
were to-day given one per cent. lower than the actual
price. The special committee of the Gold Exchange re.
ported to-day-that the an pposed-friiudulent quotation
five-twenties last Saturday Was duo to a blunder in
translating the cipher.
The stock market was weak - in' the .forennon.and
prices declined an average of about throe-quarters per
cent. on the more active Phloxes. The weakest stock:4
were New. York . Oentritl. Lake Shore and Ohio and Mis
sissippi. Witffi the improvement in bonds. abroad the
market rallied and closed at a reaction of about a half
per cent. trout the lowest prices.
• The money market was easy at five to six per cent. on
call, with exceptions at fojtr and seven per cent.
Foreign exchange was dull. Sixty-day • sterling was
quoted at 1091.itt110, and sight 111Pia1lit1,i. Cable
transfers were quoted 11138.
The government market advanced' about three-quar
ters per cent, on the first reports of a more bnoyantmar
ket for five-twenties abroad, the 67.'s selling quite freely
at 1U8;{ at the last board. Later in the day the improve
ment was partially lost.

Great Sale of Votive Treasures.
In Saragossa, the wealthy capital of the an
cient kingdom of Aragon, a sale of memorial
relics was • made recently, which at first blush
might look like sacrilege; but which, unlike
the sale of Dickens's treasures of art, was jus
tified by necessity and by an appropriate use
of the proceeds. in Saragossa is a superb ca
thedral, the Nuestra Senora del Pilar—the
Cburch•of our Lady of the Pillar—the princi
pal altar of which is built entirely of
alabaster, in the purest Gothic style, and
-which contains a figure of the Virgin on a
marble pillar,' that is believed by the
faithful to be the same on which she is sup
posed to have made her appearance in Santi
ago. In the depression of the Church,incideut
to the ecclesiastical commotions and civil
revolutions of Spain, the treasury of Our Lady
of the Pillar was exhausted, and it became ne
cessary to dispose by public sale of the works
of art which have from time to time, during
the lapse of centuries, beengiven to the
church as sacred memorials of - devotion and
- votive_olleffits.of faithful Worshippers. The
articles sold were jewelled ornaments of every
kind, some of them very ancient and curious
—from diamond crosses, which cost MO guineas ,
to humble rosaries, worth a shilling. There
were diadems, given by queens, and little
rings, presented by the bumble peasants. It
appears to have been altogether the most re
markable collection over offered for sale. There
were gorgeous reliquaries, enameled pendants,
medallions covered with precious stones, and
calliers, some of them . the gift of per
bons of historic fame, such as Philipe IV.,
who lived 600 years ago and was celebrated for
his avarice—for which the gifts toAhe church,
perhaps, were to atone—Marie Christine de
Bourbon; Charles IV. and others:- - A.. brilliant
spreY; for Med of sold - for $3,500;
pendant reputed to be the work of Colini, of
the 16th century, for $4,000; a. watch, an offer
ing of Philippe IV., for 5700 ; and so on, the
sale_occupying many days and -consisting_ of

Report Denied
The assassination of the Cuban General
Perro, reported in a Havana despatch yester
day, is denied by General Jordan, of the

The Junta received despatches from Gen.
Perro to-day. He says he is the most popular

low him even to surrender if he desired it.
Last April ov,ditures were made to him by
the Spaniards, but he spurned them.
The report that the chiefs Fortuna and Co -

Junta, while Chief Trere, reported as having
also surrendered, is unknown, and no such
person has been engaged in the war on the
Cuban side.
