The scare over the arrival of a few hundred troops at Washington is subsiding. Tyn Sentinel talks about the interest the city treasurer receives on his balances. It doesn’t seem to know that all interest is turned over to the city.
The New York World thinks it has “a big thing” in that Vermont electoral
case, but condescends to make a little j .nd that without any probability of its
ordinary honesty ia concerned. Parties ara made up from the whole people and partake of the characteristics of the people. They are controlled to a great degree by the opinion of the people, and being directly responsible to them, pay a decent regard *e it aa a general thing. There never was a time when public men ware bald to stricter accountability than they are now. Their actions were never eritimed * more freely ; they never were more sensitive to the wiahee of the }*eople, and they will be very carefal about doing anytbiag that will bring politiml destruction upon themselves, not to speak of personal infamy. One great characteristic of this people is its love of fair play, aad while a large number of any party might be ready to approve an unfair and dishonest act, there would be a very large number who would condemn it And they would not oaly condemn it, but follow it up and punish it. If either party in the present exigency obtains the control of the government without a fair appearance of right at least, that party bad better make the most of its opportunity, for at the next election there will be no room to doubt which party is eacsessful. These considerations will not be overlooked by acute politicians accustomed to feel the public pulse and dependent upon public approval for support. They know, just as well as any man can know that power unlawfully secured in this country will scon be taken away,
threat that “we have pickle for you yet.”

The czar denies any desire to posaess Constantinople or to make aggressions against India, liis tone is all that could be wished for, and he seems earnest to preserve the peace, - greatly deprecating the feeling manifested in England.

speedy return, for party sins are not soon forgotten as the last four or five monflis have shawn. Nothing but the stresff of hard times making plain the necessity of reform to secure relief, gave the Democrats such accessions of Strength. In ordinary times the strength of the Republicans would not have been shaken greatly, even had their abuses aad blunders been greater. In the present contest there is a good deal of wrong mixed with some right. Neither side is free from the one nor lacking in the other, but however much they may denounce and abuse each other, both will be careful, we think, what they make themselves accountable for. Until they do wrong, there need be no gloom
or foreboding of evil.

Reporter.] The preparations for the cremation of the body of the Bavarian nobleman, Baron UtPaltt, at Hr. LeMoyne s furnace are alruort complete, and very soon after Thanksgiving day the body will arrive and be placed in the furnace. The cremation of the two sheep was a highly euccesafcl experiment, from which much information was gathered, and a few slight changes will be made when the ba’•on’s body is to be reduced to ashes. 7 a readers of tbe Evening Itacorter will remember that when the bneep were cremated a rmafl vent or peep hole was described ts admitting a little cold air Into the retort and allowing a glance at the prccets going on 3 inside. Tuis vent did not admit a euihcient amount of air to secure the perfect incineration to fine ashee, as was deeired. Tbe exclusion of air tended to reduce the body to the condition coal is loft when coked, or that of wool when charcoal Is marie, rather than its pulverisation into ashes. This vent has since been enlarged to admit more air, ard also to allow a more perfect view of the body during the cremation pro-
cess.
Another chaage has been made. An iron frame or griddle for the body to real npon iu substituted for a cofflu. This r.ists the corps* two inches above the floor of the retort, and allows a draft of air beneath it, affording more thorough combustion. In the experiment it was found that tbe bettom board of the cotfia on which the bodies had rested was not r*dir«d to aaln •, but remained in flakes or pieces of charcoal. This was for want of air—aad the new plan remedies this
defect
Barr n DcFnlm wes a Bavarian, but had lived in this country for some years. Last spring be died, and as he directed in his will, his body wns embalmed for the purpose of awaiting the erection of a furnace that it might be cremated. His executor hearing of Dr. LeMoyne’e efforts in this direction, made application to have the body cremated here. Tbe doctor at once assented. Tte result of the cremation of this body will be locked fer with great interest all over the world. The proceas will be watched by a number of scientific men, who will engage in a full discusdon of tl e matter in all its bearings. The discusrion will take, place, in town, so that fd can hear. The hoards of health of PbiladtlpLis. New York, Boston and Washington City have expressed their determination ta send eminent phys cians to represent them on the ooasiqp. Many prominent journals will also send representatives, so that the whole question will
be fully ventilated.
Whether cremation is practicable will probably be decided by the second experiment. Whether it will become popular time alone will determine. But aside from the objections ariiing from tbe prejudices of education and long custom, we have noticed no good reasons given against tbe system in all the newspaper articles upon the subject that have come
under our observation.

! when they talk of such evils, do not without a particle of odor or a single dia-
know the temper of the Americans. The government is themselves, and for that reason they bear iu infirmities a-td evils all the lo»ger. They Jtave a part in it, and know that if it does not suit it can be charged before long. Com-bined-witb this is the Anglo-Saxon regard for law, firmly fixed in the popular mind by generations of education and not to be effaced by the blood and thunder of a dozen campaigns. There nerer was a people more alert and watchful, more bent upon selfgovernment and more powerful to maintain it. The liberties of such a people nrver were taken away and never can lie while they remain such. Fanatics, lunatics and constitutional prophets of evil may preach to the contrary, but while speech is free, tbe remedy of law is right at hand, and Americans are as vigilant and courageous, there need be
no fears.
The Sentinel don’t see why the city treasurer should keep money on hand to pay. interest on the bonds due in January. Well, the reason is the city provides for her indebtedness as any prudent business man would do. It is of the greatest importance that her interest should be paid promptly and her credit maintained. But little money comas into the treasury at this season of the year and if the amount or a portion of it was not retained, when the day ca ne around we should have to borrow and pay interest on interest. The Sentinel may say that this makes no difference, as ti e money would be used in taking up debts bearing interest. The debts Ix-ar six j er cent, and money at that seaton could not bo borrowed tem-

Tbe bitterness of party spirit heated white by the struggles of the cauvaas shows no eigns of cooling among those who make politics a business. The uncertainty ot the result and its dependence for settlement upon the votes of i South Carolina, Florida and Ixmisiana j has intensified passion rather than allayed it. The partisans of neither side | are willing to concede that those opposed to them are anything hut infamous scoundrels, totally destitute of honesty . and rrspect for law. Accusations of fraud, in every conceivable shape, flow ; with the greatest freedom.

The crematory is built of brick, one story In height, with a roof of corrugated iron, and is provided with three chimneys. Tbe building is divided into two rooms, the reception room and the furnace room. Ti e reception room is auoat twenty feet square, and is furnished in the simplest manner. In the centre there is a catafalque upon which to rest the body, arm about the room some chairs for . tbe accommodation of tue fi e..«is of tbe departed. A door from tbe reerption room leads into the furnace room, which in size is about ten by twenty leet In this room there is noil.mg but the furnace. Tbe retort in which the remains to he cremated are
I placed was made especially for his put-
post. It ts seven and a half feet in length, tw enty inches in height and twenty-eight
j inches wide, and somewhat ap^eiubles a

Oloott wants it understood that this is not at all a religious ceremony, but purely sciantificand experimental. "The body of the late baron," be says, “is in as perfect a state of preservation as when he died. It has been covered up in an antiseptic powder. It will be reduced by cremation to three or four pounds. A man of 150 pounds weight can be reduced to that.” Col. Olcott takes no stock in the stcry of the French marquis who wore th# remains of bis cremated wife in a monruing rieg. He does not belleye it possible to reduce a body below three pounds. A great many savana have beon invited to witn*ts the ceremony, and some of them will probably delivar addresses. The colonel himself meditates a long historical discourse on cremation. Where all tbe people who are going are to stow themselves he can’t imagine. The room attached to Dr. LeMoyne’s crematory will not hold above twenty persona; while enongb have signified their purpose to be piesent to fill two large halls Thia is the second cremation in the United Btates. The first was that of Henry Lanrens, of South Carolina, fifty years ago. Mr. Laurens succeeded John Hancock as president ot the continental congress. Before he died he directed his son to burn his body, upon pain of disinheritance, and the son finally obeyed. It is understood the cremation will occupy about five hours. The body will be inclosed in an iron retort, which will then be placed in a reverberatory furnace, so that all gas's, etc., will be entirely destroyed. Tbe cnnulsti Dream.

Prince Czartoryski, the acknowledged head of the Polish refugee# in France, in a letter to a friend saya there is not th* slightest foundation for the reports of au impending insurrection in Poland. He states that the country is perfectly tranquil, and that the “Emigration." a large body of influential refugees settled in Paris, is lew disposed than ever to encourage an insurrectionary movement The British foreign office publishes a despatch in which Lord Loftus, British embassador to Russia, reports in detail what passed at the audience he had with the czar November 2d. Hp reports that the czar said he bad amt «tbe ultimatum to the port# because he feared the diecomfiture of the Servian army might be followed by atrocities. The Porte had, by a series if maneuvers, frustrated aii attempts at pacification. The present state of things was intolerable. Unless Europe was prepared to act firmly and energetically ne would be obliged to act a one. He regretted to see that inveterate suspicion and fear of Russian aggression still existed in England. The czar reminded Lord Loftus that he bad, on several occasions, given most solemn assurances that he desired no conquest. He had not the smallest wish or intention to acquire Constaatinop!e Buch acquisition would be a misfortune for Russia. The following are the exact words of that portion of the dispatch referring to Constantinople: ‘‘The czar pledged hisaacred word of honor, in a most earnest and solemn manner, that he had uo intention of acquiring Constantinople. If necessity should force him to occupy a portion of Bulgaria, it would only ba provisionally nnul the peace and safety of the Christian population were eecnred. The cz.x could not understand, when both conn trie* had a common object, namely, the amelioration of the condition of Christians, when he had given every proof that he had no desire for conquest, why there should not be a perfect understanding between England and Russia, based on the policy of peace which would be equally beneficial to their mutual interests and to the interest of Europe generally. The czar said nothing could be more absurd then tbe intentions attributed to Russia of the future conquest of India, which was a psrfect impossibility. Hn deeply dtplored the distrust manifestetl by England, and earnestly requested me to do my utmost to dispsj it, and charge! me to convey to her muj sty’s government the solemn nrsurauces be had given mo ” The dispatch also states that in regard to the rumors that Benia and Roumaoiaa' demanded that they ahould be erected into independent kingdoms, the czar said that there was no intention of establishing any of such kingdoms, and such a courte would be folly. Tue czar explained that he permitted officers to go to Serviajprovided they let the Russian service in the hope of calming agi- % taiion in Russia. Tbe foregoing dispatch was verified by Prince Gortschakoff before its transmission to Lord Derby, and approved as correctly giving the views expressed by tbe czar. Lord Derby replied, irsiructhig Lord L6ftua to Inform the czar and Prince Gortachako? that the queen nnd her government received the czar’s assurances with the greatest satisfaction. The Rusaian government having requested tbe publication Of this correspondence, as it contained assurances of a nature to tranquiiizs public feeling. Lord Derby informs Lord Loftu* that he granted this request, considering the publication as opportune in view of the mobilization of the Russian forces and the issue ot a loan
Hebrew Morality. [London Letter.] One Jew killed another last week, and the astounding fact has been developed that this is the first case on recored [record] in Great Britain in which one member of the Jewish persuasion has been charged with the wilful murder of another of the same religon, and another equally extraordinary fact that no Jew has been executed in this country for a period of 200 years. The last one who suffered the penalty of death was hung just two centuries ago, and then not for murder but for forgery.
