Triplc Alliance Against (he United
States.
The telegram positively announces the in
itiation of a triple alliance, consisting of Eng
land, France and Bpain, against the United
States Government. No donbt most people an
ticipated snefc a movement, but, still, the
prompt beginning of it is a little startling.
Some will say that France came so unsatisfac
torily out of 'her alliance with Spain and Eng
land in I8G3, that she should not have been
in haste to "form another. But in thin case the
reasons for it were peculiarly strong. As the
head and front of them, the parties were al
ready leagued ‘in an agreement to guarantee
Spain in the possession of Cuba, as against the
United States.
Next, the rejection of the Alabama treaty
for the reasons assigned by Mr. Sumner was no
tice in advance to France that she was held in
affront, on account of the recognition of the
Confederacy.
Fully determined to make no further conces
sions in relation to'the Alabama claims, Great
Britain could look for nothing less than vexation
and trouble, in combatting, single-handed, the
further pretensions of our government.
Both of these, great powers have a heavy com
mercial interest in preventing the acquisition
of Guba by the United States, and a manifest
contingent interest in averting the peril to which
snch an acquisition would expose their West
India dependencies.
Above all they-do not mean that this govern
ment shall acquire the absolute control of the
Gulf and Caribbean seas.
So to sum it all up they are going to try the
moral effect of an alliance, offensive and defen
sive in putting a stop to these pretensions and
aggressions. They are going to treat ns very
politely, but let us understand at once that if
we choose to affront one of these powers we
must fight the whole.
And what will'bo tho effect ? Heaven knows
—we don’t Like enough the North is so full of
wind and vain-glory—so stuffed with notions of
her irresistible military prowess, that the effect
of this alliance will be inflammatory instead of
cautionary. The majority of Northern presses
and politicians have committed themselves to
such absurd and highstreng positions upon these
Alabama claims, that they will refuse to take the
back-track, and go ahead in order to show how
little they are to be frightened by the “effete
monarchiesofEurope.” TlieAdministration, too,
is manifestly disposed to belligerency. A good
many people of the North think that a war
might save the country from drifting into a con
dition of anarchy or perishing with the dry rot
of corruption; but whether they will be willing
to take such a dose of war at one gulp is a ques
tion.
The United States is, manifestly to every man
capable of taking an enlightened and Christian
view of the matter, in precisely that condition
when the heaviest kind of a thrashing would do
her good. Reduce her to great distress and
trouble, and she would get rid of a thousand
rampant follies and crimes which are now raging
worse than a pestilence.
But we hope, on the whole, to pass the rest
of our days in peace. We are inclined to donbt
whether Grant, Creswell, Sumner and Wendell
Philips will take hold of these three effete mon
archies or knock the chips off their shoulders.
I>et them, at least, call a special tea-drinking in
Faneuil Hall before they undertake tho business.
Tiet us see what Miss Anna Dickinson and Miss
-Cady Stanton have to say about it. At all
evonts, the tripple alliance will test the diplom
acy of the Fish Cabinet.

No Distinction on Account of Color iu
the Printers’ Union.
Tho apostles of the art preservative of all
arts, are at last, by the action of the administra
tion of General Grant, precipitated into the
bnbbKng and seething cauldron of the “ nigger
question.” The art of “ mixing colors,” which
the administration has been studionsly pursuing
and applying in its official appointments, is now
doubtless to be practised upon its mere labor
employees throughout. It begins with the print
ers, and, we suppose, is to bo run through the
catalogue -of tradesmen and tradeswomen em
ployed by the government. The first notifica
tion we had of the movement was in the follow
ing press dispatch:
Thirty-six typos, mostly veteran Washingtoni
ans, were discharged from the government print
ing office to-day.
This was to make room for the “negro com
positors.” Then came the next announcement:
The Typographical Union is agitated over the
the question of admitting to membership negro
compositors appointed by Clapp in the govern
ment printing office.
To make this clear, it must be understood that
the “Printer’s Union" is a guild or association
among working printers throughout the United
States, by which they pledge themselves to be
•governed by certain rules—offensive and de
fensive. One of these rules is never to work in
an office which employs craftsmen who are not
members of the Union. Now, as the Printer’s
Gnild is also an organization for social and be
nevolent purposes, the question is brought down
to this issue—tho printers must admit these ne
groes to all the rights and privileges of their or
ganization, and “fellowship” them socially and
professionally, or, refusing to admit them into
the Union, they must cease to labor where the
negroes are employed. They must leave the
government printing offices in a body, and tom
the whole business of government printing over
bodily to the negroes.
We cannot pretend to say what they will do;
but if they conclude to stop type setting for tho
government the government must go to ,l rat-
ting"—that is, employing snch strolling white
printers, outside the guild, as shall be willing to
supplement the negroes, or rely' upon the
privileged race alone for doing the printing of
the government. The question, in all its rami
fications, is an interesting one.
Distinction on Account op Colob.—The Re
publican says the efforts of Mr. Cresswell to
make the negro, Sims, postmaster at Savannah,
are clearly an infraction of the civil rights bill,
which declares there shall be no distinction on
the grounds of “race or color.” Sims is a negro,
he has a black skin, and we defy Mr. Cresswell
to say that he was selected on any othfr ground.
He is without businoss qualifications for the
office, and was chosen solely on the ground of
his “race or color.”
The Waem Speings.—This place of popular
summer resort says the Columbus Enquirer,
will be opened on tho first of June, by the old
proprietor, CoL Jno. L. Mustian. These waters
are known from New Orloans to Boston, and no
one has ever spent a month with CoL Mustian
without being almost rejuvenated. They are
situated in tho most pleasant and salubrious re
gion of Georgia, surrounded by an intelligent
and highly cultivated population.

Corretpondence of the Telegraph.]
Louisville, May 9,18G9.
AN AWFUL NIGHT.
Our city was visited on Tuesday night last by
the wildest storm of thnnder, hail, and rain,
known in this section for many years. For a time
it really seemed as if heaven, earth, and a cer
tain region that shall be nameless, had all gone
together at this particular juncture, determined
to settle the little difference of opinion long
known to have existed between them, as regards
several great moral questions. From all quar
ters of the compass the heavens were in a blaze
of light, and such crashes of thunder as made
the stoutest heart.quake with terror. The sullen
roar from “ Gettysburg” was the mere sport of
boys, in comparison to this awful clamor of the
elements. Then came the stirring rat-a-plan of
hail, followed soon by whirling, eddying sheets
of rain that in a short time made sober old Lou
isville, with her wildly flaring lamps, gleam from
the darkness and sweeping waste of waters, like
glorious Venice throned on her hundred isles.
A great deal of damage was done to persons and
property; and yet it was, after all, a blessing in
disguise; accomplishing more for the future san
itary condition of the city than all the bogus
measures of all the health-commissioners for a
twelve-month past or to come.
A CARNIVAL OF PLEASURE.
The coining week promises to be the gayest
of the season. To-morrow (Monday) evening
the invincible Ole Bull will again wake from the
ocean of immortal harmony many of his most
bewitching melodies. Almost inhearing of him
Blind Tom will again recall to mind the drums,
the trumpets, the deep thunder “peal on peal
afar” that, under the burning sun of July, ’61,
shook the red field of Manassas. Louisville has
at all times an earnest welcome in store for this
poor sightless child of Ethiope, whose vision
was doubtless veiled in deep shadow by the Di
vine Master, only that his soul might become a
living opera of beauty and harmony that should
move all hearts as they were never stirred be
fore. Lucille Western, the beautiful and gifted
young actress, will at the same time offer an
irresistible attraction at the Opera House; while
lost, but not least, the mammoth circus and
menagerie of the great “Forepaugh” will draw
off thousands who prefer that class of amuse
ments. So witlj all these magic influences,
to say nothing of the nightly velocipede drills
and parlor skating exhibitions, we shall, at the
end of this “carnival week,” be at no loss what-
aver to account for any remarkable depletion in
either our private or municipal exchecquer.
MAY IN LOUISVILLE.
Should you ever have occasion, either from
business or pleasure, to extend your travels
thus far, allow me to suggest that you mnke
your arrangements to visit us in the charming,
delicious month of May. At this season you
will find our countless shade trees in full leaf.
It will afford ns pleasure to stroll with you by
many a flower garden redolent with beauty and
balm. The skies that now bend above ns are
serene and beautiful as those that charmed my
senses while I lingered in your own bright
clime. Yes, visit us in the flowery month of
May, and you will understand, almost as by in
tuition, what we are scribbling about when we
say that Fourth street especially offers attrac
tions to a 6tranger, which he will find it im
possible to resist. We hazard nothing and
speak by the card when we affirm that, during
twelve hours on any bright day in the month of
May, a greater number of pretty girls trip light
ly along Fourth street, Louisville, Ky., than
through any other thoroughfare in the known
world; and so strong are we in the faith, that
we unhesitatingly throw down the gauntlet,
prepared to fight anything or anybody upon the
question in debate.
The business of the city still continues very
lively, and improvements in every part of the
town go steadily forward. We are happy to
state that several of our staunohest capitalists
are at th9 present time seriously considering the
project of starting one or more large factories
near the falls of the Ohio. Were a scheme like
this once realized, onr progress as a city would
be unprecedented. It is strange, indeed, that
the wonderful natural resources we possess have
not long since been brought into requisition.
“More first-class funerals” is the daily prayer
of those whose energies are fettered by the
lords of the soil, whose obstinate purpose seems
to be to do nothing, sell nothing, nor improve
anything. Men of this class may possess money
and property qualifications, yet they are only
the ponderous clogs, the deadweights that hang
heavily upon the wheels of progress, occupying
the space that would otherwise bo taken by the
brawny shoulders of the man of life and ener
gy, who would urge the glorious car onward to
the noblest heights of enterprise and success.
Then let the “ te deum” be sung, we say, when
ever or wherever one of these mortal clogs re
linquishes his deadly hold and drops out of
sight forever.
We are waiting, Micawber-liko, for the full
blown development of several important news
items yet in embryo, and which will, we hope,
Mrm the nucleus of a communication hereafter.

clusively to a retail trade, but it is active and steady.
We have not a change to note in financial and
monetary affairs since our last weekly report. Tho
stock and bond market continues almost perfectly
lifeless, and wo have not heard of a half dozen
transactions in this class of securities during the
whole week. Money is still abundant at the hanks
for all first-class borrowers, with an ample supply to
meet the demands of all legitimate business. We
give carefully revised quotations :
