The niau from Kio Janeiro brings liri a pieco of
news ai HiguiGcant ko it ia pleasing. The Kmperor
of Hnuil ha* just liheiated the national llSTM, the
jirnfits of whose labors bclong'd t?? t!;< Crawaj and
large _Ulfl_b_n of the freodmen, v,o Itali, have
entered tho anny, and are berne fonraried in
?imei.ti? to the nent of war. '1 tim Itskl like tl.e
lir?t step toward general emancipation in Hra/il-at
least, it is so regarded hy the Abolition party of the
Empira. The Emperor of Hra-il ia known as one of
the moat enlightened and liberal rulers of th" age,
and thero can be no doubt that he sincerely deaireri to
seo the fine country wlm h h" govoni? delivered from
th? incubus and stigma of Slavery. In liberating the
national slaves he has, in oiled, entered a quiet but
telling protest against tho "institution,"' and the in?
fluence of hid example t an hardly fail to prepare the
wey for the emancipation of the slaves throughout
th? Empire. It strikes us that the court.? pur. ?n-d hy
the United States Government in our civil uni h.i
had something to do with the Emperor's action in
freeing the Crown -laves. At any rate, it is remarka?
ble, that, as in our case, Hraul accepts the services of
the negro as a soldier, to fight the battles of Iris coun?
try, putting the sword into hands from which the
manacles bave jost f?llen.

"his line of duty, in resisting this atrocious
"fraud. A week or two after his election, and
" before be had leen sworn into office, he entered a
"formal protest against the completion of
"any suoh leaae by the Controller. After enter?
ing office, the lease, as drawn up in con?
"fortuity with the resolution of the Common
"Council, was submitted for his opinion, and he dis?
approved of the same and refused to lend it his
"sanction. Shortly before lsst 1st of May,
"Mr. 0Gorman atado official application to
"the Controller for new offices, elsewhere
"than m Mr. Wood's buildings, for the
"use of his two Bureaus-that of Publio Adminis?

"peremptorily refused any reliuf by that official.

Tiio Prasddeut, by an order d_tod Dec. 88, has dis?

statistical fu? Is atoal the armier. ?.I the two aoiUltlto
will ahow thal I French had very weighty reasons
for taking Ulli subject into MrriOM i-??ii-i?.?*rn.tron. The
population of Franc, la 1868, ?' Bstlmatad at about
87,668,088, pipe the sain?) year, the ?'lleetiM- falta
of th?' anny, on a t ace footing, was
.. | ut I'si.iss), while an the war f??ot?ng
it wo ild amount to 787,717 inen.s^r
in 1866, had a pnpnlattoi of 18,666,666, or j .ist atonl
one-ton of ito population ??f France, lu timo of
p?'oco it* standing army was 208,578, about one-hulf
of the French army, and tlnr? f? re lu tto .?ame pro?
portion to tto total population) but whenever it
should lu-, omi' i.ii i- iry to put th.? army ?m a war
footinf, Pruaria aould within a tor meka bring iuto
tka Bald a thom ?ghly diadpliliad army of 888,808, or,
if tka taratta mt pa w.-n- addad, ef 714,661 aran, thus
? l i ti.i,i? 11 un ? in the number of tot soldiers, not*
. Hiding tho double number ol' inhabitants in the
latter country.
lu aanaafaanaa of the war, lo.otS'.ooi? of other
Qaaaam are to firm, with Prun-ia, the North-Herman
Confederation. TIM most inipi?rt?nt object I'ri-.a
h ?d in view in establishing this confederation was the
incorporation ti the army <?f the minor .States with
that of Prussia. Thi? point has been se?iir?-.l evou
beforu tim tni't'ting of the North-Herman Parliament,
and Prussia M a military power represents, therefor",
a population of 18,886,881 of men. Hhu is straining
every nerve to complete the iutrodui tiou of hor entire
military system into the minor Stat.'?. This b.'iiig
accomplished, Prussia w?iuld have on the paaaa foot?
ing an army of over :UK),<M>??. and in time of war an
effective force of more than 1,(KLK),IK?0 nun. No
one, moreover, doubts that the South! ?orman States,
which have a population of 8,888,880, must v.?ry soon
drift into a union with the Northern Confeileration,
and in case of a foreign war, they would even now be
almost sure to go hand-in hand with Northern
?Jermony. Their annexation would raise the Prussian
Army to the grand total of 1,888,888.
We can hardly be mistaken if we ascribe the f
turn which was all at once given to the foreign policy
of Frauoe, m irrest measure to a consideration of tho
above figures. I'pon the establishment of the North?
Cern?an Confederation, Franco became, as a military
power, decidedly inforiorto Prussia. To change this
humiliating condition was the task imposed upon the
Military Commiision. The report of the Comumsion
is not yet before us. Rumors come by the Atlantic
cable that it was intended to raise the French Army
(including reserves) to l,_tXi,?0<M) men, hut that the dis?
content with this moa.ure was so general among all
classes of the population that it had to be abandoned.
Thus on the one side is the military superiority of
Prussia, and ou the other, the universal dissatisfaction
of the French people with the proposed increase of the
standing army. Ileset by these two difficulties, the
Kmperor has to s?ljust a polioy of military reform
which shall eels? his Dowe, to a level with \JjxX o\
PrusM*. aud still keep peace at home. On his ability
to do it the stability of hi- Oovenunout may largely

SVPERVimG SIVIS?LES.
Wu lately called attention to the action of tho TW?r..
of ?Supervisors, who, at their meeting on Wednesday,
added $'?00 to tho salary of each of the 101 attendant s
on the City aud County Courts, thus putting $?0,200
?uto the annual tax-levy. The announcement that
N largo a number of panant, in addition to ti o regu?
lar corps of clerks, librarians, stenographer-, orinrs
and interpreters, aro employed ra Court attendants
at a cost of moro than 9186.666 per aunum, has sur?
prised many of our readers, it being well known t"
those who aro familiar with the Courts that not moro
than one-third of that number discharge any duly
beyond drawing their ?alan?s.
Tkaaa supernumerary attendants have been ap?
point?.] by the Hoard of iSup?'rvisors (most of thom
during the last three years), in dehanco of tho opinion
of Corporation Cauneel Bronson, ?ho ri<x*idod that
suoh appointments were illegal. Tho number afttoM
extra attendants has been doubled in consequonco of
tlie peculiar con.struction of the Hoard of Supervisors
-that body being composed of an equal number of
oach political party. This non-partisan arrangement
necessitate* a trade being made upon every job, oithor
largo or small, that is put through the Hoard; so that
whenever a Democratic ?Supervisor lindj it desirable
to provide for somo pugilistic sat?illite by placing him
on the pay-roll as an attendant on ono of the court,?,
a similar compliment mu?t be paid to a K? publv an
8 ipervisor in order to koop tho account even. Bttl h
arrangements keep mattors moving pleasautly in the
Hoard, but are not profitable to our tax-payers. In
illustration ti thi? subject, a circumstanco of rec? nt
occurrence may be interesting to our readers.
During the past two years there have Leon eu
.ving pay as regular attendants ou tho
Court of BeaaiaWs, tot ia aannrajwnaa of the non
attendance of most of these gentlemen, ?lie .lu.!
tin Court bund ttotMalraa in want of a couple of
officers to convey prisoners to and from the Tom!'-.
Fully understanding what was uocessary to obtain
their ?Wires, the Judges sent a communication to the
Supervisor? asking for the appointment of four addi?
tional attendant?. The communication was r .
and referred to u Ceraraittue. Wto in due tune n
porte?! favorably, and submitted a r??iolution appointing
tto 'o r extra men, at a salary of $1,000 per annum
forea?h. The 'King" in the Hoard, however, desired
to give it a further nursing, and the resolution was
laid over until tho next meoting, at which time the
matter was again consiilored, th? word "four" was
stricken out and "ten " substituted, and the resolu?
tion this aarandad UM paaaad ami .??'tit to the Mayer.
Bil Honor, Mayor Hollinan, not ?leeming ten additional
attendant! iiei-es-ary, ralaad the, nraintfan and re"
turned it to the Snpervi.-ors, who are holding it until
the proper time arrives to pn?s it over the veto. That
Ikara t?'ti men will cventtially be saddled upon the
??ullin treasury may be inferrod from tho course pur?
suod in regard to a similar veto of tho Mayor'?,
which was sent to the Board on the 15th ol
August last, and waa pa?.so.l ovor the
Vaia at their last meeting. This resolution
appointed Jotiu Hogan Clerk of ono of the Courts,
at an annual sal.iry of $3,000. Tho objections of
Mayor Hoffman were: Firtt, That the appointment
.t li?i/ally made; ami Second, That the Ta?-lovy
?Mpr? -ly provide? that " no liability atoll bo incurred
"m inw of tto appropriation," and that there was no
appropriation from whii h the sal.iry could be paid.
-Nothwiihstamling these objections, the resolution was
again pa?mod by a vote of eight against two.
