Tory Predictions of the Futvtve of the United States, Mr. Disraeli, tlio leado; 0f tbo Tory party in the English Houso '0f ConinioM, in recent debate on American nffiurst assumes Hint the trouble now 'existing in tbe United States will be settled, under the policy to which the party in has committed itself, and predicts as tho result of that policy, a change in our form ol government a change which will make it conform more nearly to what the Tory party in England contend for as the true form of government that which restricts the governing power to the hands of a class, and withholds it irom the great nmsB of tho people, in whom they do not deem it advisable to place confidence. Mr. Disraeli's opinion on the subject alluded to is expressed as follows: "But, altboilph these ore my opinions eenornlly, I cannot conceal fiom mveelf that very great ebauges havo taken placo in America of lato years, anil theso cbont ca I biivo riMon to boUevc, aro not regarded in (his Ilouso with sufficient seriousness, while in my opinion tbey amount to no less tliau a revolution. I will ask honorable members to recall to themselves tho stato of North America when wo met In this ilouso four years ago.

That portion of tUo world was thou divided among what wo may call three grcit pow MS first, the United States of Amorica; secondly, Canada, and the settlements and dopondenulcs belonging to our own sovereign; aud thiraly, Mexico, a country which certainly did not possess much political power, but wbich in extent, resources, fertility of soil, and mineial wealth, was almost unequoled in tho world. In every ono of theso three divisions there havo been immenso changes. In tho United States a civil war Ins raged for four years, and even if that war should teroii afe, as tho lion, member fjr Bradford safficsts, I cannot bolievo that wo shall Bee tho Bamo socioty and form of government established, or if the form be tho same, the fipiiit will be exiBtod bofore tbo civil wat commenced. (Hear, hear.) We must recollect that even if tho Federal Government should ho triumphant, it nil! havo to deal with most perploilo? questions and with a discontented population. I need not dwell much upon tho then stato of the southern community, but tho elavopopuljtion will then bo no longer slaves thero will bo several millions ot another rice emancipated and invested wilh all the rights of frec roeD, and, so far aa tho letter of tho law is concerned, they will be on an equality with tho Saioa race, with whom tbey can possibly havo no sympathy.

Wo know fnoi experience and practlco that thero is a diflcrence between theso who aro recently emancipated and that I will not cili it a superior race, be cauao that might oflend honorablo gentlemen opposite (a laugh); nor will 1 call it an interior race, that is not identical with the olhcr. Nothing tends nioro to tho disconteot of a people than (hat they ehobld in possesion of privileges and rignts which practically are net recognized aud which tbey do not enjoy. These are tho elouients of political discontent, and it fa possiblo that when this war is over tho American government may havo to deal with great masses of discontented population. To do this sacccBsiully yon must havo a strong government. What does that mean? Why, you must havo a centralisina government; aud the American government havo found it necessary to havo recourse to tho centralizing principle during theso events.

Tho government muBt have an army at its command in order to maintain tiio orier and unity that i( is bound (o uphold. These aro tho elements that cannot fail to produco great diitl cultits in tho Uuited Slates, even if they come triumphantly out ci the struggle in which they aro engaged," Mr. Disraeli leaves out in his calculation a power wbich has ruled, aud is destined again to rule this country. If we attempt to hold th9 Southern States as conquered provinces, we must keep up large standing armies, wo must abandon all idea of relieving ourselves of the vast public debt this war will leave behind it, and we must concen Irato in (he hands of the Executive, powers which will be rendered necessary to keep iu subjection a disaffected population. Debt, standing armies and centralized power are not less inimical to liberty than water is to fire.

The majority of the people of the North are not willing to govern their country as the English Tories desire that they should. This government will return to its normal condition only when wo can baBO it on the consent of the government as of old. The conservative men of the country are willing to give to the South all the rights which wo of tho North possess. Let the Southern people abandon their attempt to secure real or assumed rights by force, let them come insido the Constitution, and wo have no fenrs for the result. Law abiding and 2eaoe loving men can then come to thoir as Bistance.

It is as true now, crippled and weakened as the rebellion confessedly is, as it was when the rebellion was threatened, that this country can be governed as a Kepublican country in ono way, and that way is by a display of a spirit of conciliation, aud by keeping alive and cherishing a sentiment of nationality based on mutual respect and mutual forbearance, stronger than physical force, more powerful lor defence from internal or external foes, than an army with banners. It will re qviire a higher Older of statesmanship than that tho country now employs, to reconcile tho conflicting interests of this people. But the country is not destitute of the men to do it. When the passions which war engenders havo time to cool, the peoplo will find them. He who doubts it never believed in his heart in a popular form of government.

Mr. Disraeli's reference to the negro is not unworthy of the consideration of those who believed that tho negro problem could bo solved by a paper proclamation, or even by amending tho Constitution aud forcing it as amended upon thoso who nro not willing to accept it. The question of Slavery would havo been settled as good men desired it should be, if we had patience and faith iu our fellow citizens, and more than all iu the principles of liberty which lay at the base of our government, Tho problem is yet to be solved peacefully aud gradually. If the party iu power are left to settle it, it will be settled undoubtedly as the enemies of popular government deairo that it should be, but wo have still more faith in tho American peoplo than in either the English forks or their predictions: "The darkcBt hour of night is herald of tho morning." Contraband Trade With the Rebel States Profitable aud Mysterious Husi aese. Some weeks since, it will be remembered, the rebel authorities sent a large quantity of tobacco to Fredericksburg to be exchanged, it was said, for bacon for the use of Lee's army.

There was nothing singular in the fact that the rebel authorities should desire to make the trade; nor did it oxcite surprise that there were parties on this side of the hne willing to to engage in it, if the profit was in proportion to tho risk run in giving substantial aid and comfort to the enemy, But the singular part of tho story is that when the tobacco was BDized and destroyed by order of Secretary Stanton, the Richmond journals stated that the tobacco was protected by a permit signed by the President of tho United Status. The Tribune's Washington correspondent gave currency to tho rebel statement, and gave it a ciuosai endorsement at the same time, but Mr. Lincoln has given no denial to the report of a transaction which the Tribune might woll claim to be mysterious. It is known that permits to trado with tho rebels aro dispensed to political parasites and favorites, and the trade is beneficial aliko to tho politicians and the rebels. Gen.

Grant, in view of tho advantage to tho enemy growing out of this trade, took upon himself the responsibility of revoking all permits, no matter by whom issued. In this he baa, it is bclioYcd, the approval of Secretary Stanton, among whose faults peculation is not numbered, we bo liove, by friend' or foe. Gen. Grant has displayed as much courage in braving the venal and powerful politicians as he would in leading a charge against a masked battery. Under ordinary circumstances an order from a military chieftan Betting aside the acts of the President, would be regarded with universal disfavor, but in this instance his condnct secures tho approval of every honest man.

The second of the course of four popular lectures, in aid of Missionary work, wbb given last ovening at the Central PreBbytoihra hurch, Soherraorhorn Bireet, by tho Rev, Chares S.

Iu dis ciiEsing the merits of the prlico recruiting system, as illustrated in tho investigation of the chargo against Sergeant Haggeily of the 4ud, wo did not cutor into the peraonai features of that case, becauso tho Commissioners havo it stiii under consideration. Sergeant Haggerty, however, desires to mukc a statement on his own behalf, and wc give him the bonellt of it. lie Bays that acting under tho orders of his captain he assisted in maklog tho arrests, collecting tho evidence, and took tho priso. nors into court, doing all in his power to havo the caso fully investigated. The accused persons wero discharged becauso sufficient evidence could not bo procured, Tho case appears to have been rather troublesome ond complicated.

Alter tho prisoner Brownrigg wa3 discbargod he went back to tho station house, staid all night as a lodger, and went eff the next morning announcing his intention to culiat. Sergeant lioggerty says ho did net enlist the man, or attempt to do so, and bow nothing of him after he left the station house; but Dunn, tho com. plaining officer, heariug Brownrigg Bay ho wanted to be enlisted, jumped to the erroneous conclusion that he, Haggerty, had enlisted the man, Brownrigg who might have eet the question at rest, could not bo found. The following is statement from Judoo who was engaged as counEel for the complainant against Brownrigg: III the matter of Sergeant Tinner makes an affidavit, which has been left with Mr. Bergen, in v.hich it is positive sworn to that he, Turner, made a coiuplalut on outh aguinst Brownrigg Det'oro Justico Perry, chaigiug him with having passed a counterfeit ten dollar Treasury nolo on defendant; tuat tho notowas produced in Court before Judgo Perry; thut Serneant Hageerty did everything in his power to hold Brownrigg, by hunting up testimony, subpenoing witnesses, kc, ond he, deponent, also said on the trial, before the Commissioners, that Dunn, tho complainant, was the one who appeored to be trying to enlist Brawti rigg.

Maior's Office, Cm Hall, i Bbookxtn, March 27, 1865 To the Board of Aldermen Gentlemen Herewith I transmit you a communication fiom Charles KelBCy, who visited tho Doth Regiment in the field for tho purposo of delivering to its officers and men the stand of colors ordorcd to be pre tented to them by your Honorable Body, also a letter from Colonel Shaurmtn commanding tho same, acknowledging the receipt or tho flags. I would suggest that it be referred to tho War and Military Committeo of your Honorable iioilj.to devise, if It be possible, somo action whereby the ranks of the 90th Regiment may be recruited, ReBpeotfully yours, A. M. Wood, Mayor. Referree to the War ond Military Committeo.

From tho City Trearrarcr in conformity with a resolution of tho Common Council, requiring him to report the amount of monies belonging to the dty, deposited in the various Banks in tbo city of Brooklyn, Betting forth that the amount of thogoneral fond remaining In the Tieisuryat tho close of tho transactions upon tbe day of the dato of his communication $777,703 05 The amount ot the speoial fund so remaining st the same timo was 10,610 21 Amount of these two funds $818,898 76 The amount of money In the sinking fund at tho same time was, 3,810 10 Total on depot it 5821,211 80 Aid. Taylor moved to refer back tho report to the Treasurer with instructions to report tho names of tho his name in this connection. It is even said that his visit to Grant's headquarters iB not disconnected with an attempt to secure a revocation of Gen. Grant's order, which is significant in its terms, as nullifying all permits, no matter by whom issued. If the rebels can keep open this trade, Loe's communications aro comparatiyely unimportant to hjm, There is plenty of cotton and tobacco in the South; it the rebel authorities can seoure military supplies in oxchange for both or either, then Lee's army will not lack provisions for some time.

We trust Gen. Grant will remain firm. The people are with him in this matter, and he can defy the men who are fattening on the country's misfortunes, no matter how high the official" is, who attempts to sustain thorn. It is true that the politicians nullified McOlel lan's usoiulness becauso he would not make tho war a tender to political caucuses, but despite of all they could do, hey could not prevent two millions of his fellow citizens uninfluenced by power, and uncorrupt ed by patronage from voting for him for the first place in the gift of the people, nor can they now displace him from the position he holds in the esteem and affection of a majority of his countrymen out of office. Appointment to West Point from the Third Congressional District.

Hon. Moses F. Odell has closed his Congressional term by an act which will seenre unlike most acts of Eepresentatives in Congress warm approval from fair minded men of all parties. As is protty generally known, appointments to West Point and to the Naval Academy, aro apportioned by Congressional districts, and are at tho disposal of tho CongroBsmen, irrespective of politics, who represent tho several districts when vacancies exist. During Mr.

Odoll's first term a vacancy existed in tho Naval Academy. Instead of giving the appointment to personal or political friends, Mr. O.lell offered it, through tho Board of Education, to the public at large, or at least, to the boys who are depondont upon our publio schools for tho means of education. The boy soleeted by the Board of Education, though entirely qualified for th dutios required of him, found the dilcipline too strict to suit his temper, and was compelled to resign. Meantime the war had broken out, and Mr.

Odell concluded to fill the vacancy irom the class who had suffered most by the war the families of our soldiers. The appointment was offered to a boy whose father had fallon in the service of his country. Mr. Odoll was enabled, happily, to remedy a hardship porhaps inseparable from the arbitrary character of military discipline. Captain Sullivan, who had been for many years identified with local military affairs, enlisted at the outset of the war in the 90th Kegiment.Col.

Morgan. Whilo sta tioncd at Key West, owing to some difference with his commanding officer, reflecting no discredit upon Captain Sullivan, Captain Sullivan was suspended, and in the meantime died of yeliow fever. Under the rules of tho servico, Captain Sullivan's family of four or five children wero not entitled to the usual pension. Mr. Odell conferred tho appointment upon Captain Sullivan's eldest son, and he is now in tho service of the government and in a position which is coveted by sons of families of the largest means.

Towards tho close of Mr. Odoll's second term, a vacancy occurred at West Point, and Mr. Odell has filled it in a similar way. His choice in the second instanco has fallen upon Edward Polouze, who has earned, not alone by the sacrifices made by bis father, but by his own services, a recognition at tho hands of the country, Captain Polouze, father of the boy Edward, was mustered into tho service aa Captain of Company Corcoran Legion, After securing the approval of his superiors for skill and courage, he was killed on the battle field of Beame's Station, loaving a wife and five children Edward being the eldest. Edward joined tho 13th Regiment, of this city, as drummer boy, iu I860, at the age of 14.

Aftor the outbreak of tho war, he went with the 13 th to protect tho capital, and to aid in suppressing the rebellion. He served during tho three months' campaign, and on his return re enlisted as drummer bof in the 87th New York, Col. Dodge. This regiment was consolidated wilh the lOth Now York in 1862, and with either regiments Edward was present at the battles of Williamsburg, Pair Oaks, and in tho Ssv en Days' Battle," under MoClellan. At the opening of the campaign in 1864, under Gon.

Grant, Edward took part, with his regiment, in the battles on the Eapidan. Previous to tho battles of tho Wilderness, Gen. Birney desired to conler the position of mounted orderly on young men whoso services merited such a distinction. Edward was warmly recommended by his colonel, and served as mounted orderly to General Birney in the severo snd sanguinary battles of the Wilderness. His conduct secured the approval of General Birney, and Edward was advancod to the responsible position of Private Orderly.

In this capacity he remained until General Birney's death. General Mott retained Edward as orderly, and under him ho took part in all tho general engagements under Grant down to December of last year. Despite tho hazardous nature of his dutios, Edward was but once wounded and then but slightly. Iu December last, on tho application of his mother, Edward was discharged from the service with the vory highest recommendation. Edward is a bright, determined looking lad, and means what ho says when he affirms in his quiet way that, "If I do not succeed at West Point, sir, it will not be my fault." We trust that the boy will live long enough to be a Major General, and to thank Mr.

Odell in that capacity for the opportunity givon him of being an eduoated soldier of tho Republic, The War News. Later dispatches show that the fighting on Saturday before Petersburg was more severe, and the losses hoavier on the Union side than the first dispatches led tho public to expect. General Grant's first dispatch gave his loss at "800, and brobably less." The actual loss now foots up 2,088. All the other facts given, in tho earlier dispatohes are affirmed. There were reports of a general engagement on Monday, but up to noon we have no account of it.

There is every reason to believe, however, that important movements are on foot, From North Carolina we havo unofficial ac counts that Sherman, Sehofield and Torry had effected a junction, ilia official accounts lent through Goneral Grant aro down to the 22d insi, as lato as the newspaper dispatches. No mention is made by General Grant of intelligence of the assumed junction. The unofficial news is very probable, however. Sherman states his loss since he left Savannah is but 2,500 men, which proves vory clearly that the reported rebel victories were minor af fairs, interrupting, but nothing seriously inter fering with Sherman's progress, The corres pondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer under date oi "Kinston, 22dinst." cives. on the an thority of an officer of Sherman's army, reports that tho battio at Smithfield, on the 19th, was very severely contested, and that the loss on both sides was very heavy.

Gen. Lee himself is reported to be in command of tho rebel force in North Carolina. This raport is at variance with Gen. Grant'B despatch. Wo give the account in our tolegraphio colnmn for whatever it may bo worth.

THE LOCATION FOR fHJj STATE CAPITAL. IMPROVEMENT IS TUB WTF HALL, CASH ACCOUNT OF THE CITY. At the meeting of the Common Council held hurt evening, a considerable nmonnt of routine tuslnesB was transacted, but hardly anything of general publio interest transpired. 1BON FEBBT HOUSES. Somo months since a movement was started by a number of nronerty holders in Atlantio street and else where, to induco tho Union Ferry Company to creot iron ferry honsef at tbo Atlantic street forty on tho Brooklyn aide, undor tho belief that tho business of tho neighborhood would bo much imptovod thereby.

On consulting with the Terry Company it was found that they wero unwilling to riakmaiing the improvement un less the city should give thorn a guarantee, that in the evmt of any other partios obtaining tho lease of tho docks, tboy should bo compelled to purchase the improvements mado by the Union Ferry Company. A petition was Bont to tho Common Council, and the matter bob referred to tho Committeo on Lands and Buildings, and last evening tho Committee presonted a report in favor of leasing tho dook at tho foot of Atlantic street to the Union Ferry Company for a period of nix years, renowablo on tho same terms at the end of that time, at a yearly rent of and that tue jock hould not bo given to any other partios, unless they ahonld consent to purchase at a fair valuation, tho im provements made by tho Union Ferry Company.

Tho Committee on Publio Lauds and Buildings, it appears, had the somo anbject under consideration, and Inst evening presentod a lengthy report, in which all tho possible and impnBsiblo, real and imaginary ad'aulages whloh lirooklyn possesses over every other city in the universe, wero feelingly dopl'tcd, and tho document winding up with an offer of Fort Greene for tho State Capitol. The report was adopted as a matter of course, and it was ordered to be CDgrosscd and sent to the Committeo at Albany. THE OITICE OF THE COLLKCTOB OF TAXES. For a long time past tho want of proper accommodation in the office of tho Collector of Tavcs, and tho exceedingly inconvenient arrangement of the offico internally, has been tho subject of goneral complaint, and ono of tho most grateful changes mado in tho City Hall by the removal of iho County officers will bo in that department, The Committeo on Lands and Buildings last evening reported in favor ot appropriating tho sum of for tho necessary improvements, but tho report was lost, and subsequently, on motion of Aid.
