unlawful and dangerous powers it means that the acting President of the United Slates, and those whose creature ho 1b. arBsumlng forbidden prerogatives, meaning to wield.ftem not only to the public detriment, but for purposes aimed against the security, if not the existence of the Government: The idea Louis the XIV. "usurping" power is' ridiculous. There was no power in the State which was not in his hands. How can President Johnson be characterized as an "usurper" when the success of his policy clearly involves the surrender of power to the States arid to the people it belongs to Mr.

Johnson and those, who advocate his policy, would say to Virginia, as to New York, control your own concerns, under your obligations to the Constitution. Cori gress says You can manage your internal concerns, subject to our will, and when will is substitututed for law it is usurpation. Again, says Mr. Conkling: In England crowned monarchy as she la there has) not been a veto in 160 years. Britons, though their constitution permits it, will not brook the executive throttle upon acts or Parliament.

Vetoes were hateful to the men who cut off Charles's head, and to the men who dethroned James for granting amnesty to traitors, and they are hateful to the men who are breaking down railings to royal parks and carrying universal suffrage." As a matter of fact, the Third George vetoed Catholic emancipation, a little over sixty years ago, and the Younger Pitt resigned his office in consequence of the bad faith of the King. In England the veto power throttles legislation, and involves a direct issue between Parliament and the Crown, threatening revolution. Here the represent of a century IV ba ottered the people of New York the' best of classical music. Last night now PorfessorDoremns, was serenaded by Carl Borgerman and over a hundred instrumentalists. Professor DoremuB recognized, In a epocch, the compliment tendered to bim, and briefly reviewed the hiBtory of tho Society.

It has now increased its orchestra to one hundred members, and will have Us concerts'and rehearsals in the Academy of Music the coming sea eon. It is expected that Generals Sickles and Hancock will have a reception in Philadelphia. Speaker Colfax is reported as saying, at Wooster, Ohio, that he "longingly counted the days" until President Johnson should be impeached. Tne New York Times condemns this proceeding, and says it 1b very unseemly in the Chief Executive" officer of the House of Representatives to take such a position. It is said that' Queen Victoria is very much interested in the notices of the book of which ehe is the accredited author, and which discloses the details of her domestic lifo.

Of course, most or tho reviews arc decidedly eulogistic. But now and then will bo found one that Is eoverely critical. In the "hugo volume" wherein her Majesty's publishers have collected the frequent mention of her literary enterprise, Victoria must find much that is not pleasant reading. When a queen comes down from her throne and undertakes any kind of buslnesB that ordinary and uncrowned people engage in, she must expect to encounter the criticism that awaits ordinary and uncrowned people. There are twenty seven evening schools in New York.

There is ono High School for males, which will continue in iseselon for the term or twenty four weeks, affording all who may secure a membership an opportunity of pnrsuing the study of tho higher branches of knowledge and some of the arts. During the session af 1860 nearly 800 persons, of vari i ns ages some in their teens, and others tar advanced in years availed themselves of the privileges of this inBtltntitm. The students applied themBolves dill gently to their tasks, and the result, in nearly every case, was unusual success. This was, truo In every department of the Bchooi, as was shown by the exercises before the public on tho concluding evening of the term. The subject of a similar school for females has been discussed repeatedly by the Board of Education, but, as yet, no agreement of opinion has been reached with referenco to the matter.

At tho last session of the evening schools there were 17,000 pupils. ODR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. Amncementa. The Italian Opera. The inauguration of the Italian opera season in Brooklyn took place last evening at the Academy of Music.

The house presented that bright and cheerful appearance which seems peeelble only on opera nigbtB, when the array of beauty and brilliant toilets lends a luatre to the scene, enhanced by the extra row of gaa jots lighted only on such occasions. The opera was "Don Giovanni," a work that will live while the love ot melody exists, and Bland forever a masferplece of perfect musical composition. Tho grand harmonies of Mozart are ever fresh and wclcomo to the car, when interpreted by capable artists like Maretzek'B. The cast of the leading roles was tho same as given lost season, with the exception, of Miss Hauck Miss Kellogg, as Zerlina, and Mile. Ronconi, in place of Miss McCnllongB as Donna Elvira.

Madame Parepa Rosa was tho Donna Anna, Bellini the Don, Roncobl LeporeOo, and Baragli, Ottavio. Madame Parepa Rosa does the fullest justice lo the snperb music, her role, and restores a very difficult aria In the second act, usually omitted. The dramatic requirements of the part aro also satisfactorily fulfilled. Mile. Ronconi filled the light role ot Donna Elvira with acceptability MIsb Hauck made a very pretty and Interesting.

Zerlina, and showed marked improvement of manner since last season. Bellini, whose Binging is always faultless, gives us a manly, vigorous Don Giovanni, which might possibly be Improved by a few Bolter touches in tho love scenes, but on the whole it is by far the best performance of the role wo have seen since opera has been introduced in Brooklyn. The soft, plaintivo melodies of Don Ot lavlo's part suit the capacity qf Baragll's delicate organ. Ronconi's Leporelto needs no praise, except to credit the great buffo with overcoming a habit ho sometimes shows in other roles or belna too obtrusive in his by play, at the expense or other artists on the The chorus was about as usual fair; tho orcnestra was ably conducted by Carl Bergoman.

Both of them might have been dismissed, perhaps, and their places, given to new The Radical party was administering the government and controlling a patronage of hundreds of millions per annum. They had not patriotism enough to resign it. It is vain to attempt to throw the responsibility on President Johnson.

His most earnest co operation could do no more than to make of the ten excluded States what Tennessee is. That they will be to amoral certainty. Two years ago the State Convention of the same party which now denounces the President, endorsed his policy as wise and patriotic. His policy has not changed his party has. If any one has been betrayed it is the President.

Did not both parties in this State endorse him two years ago, when his policy was as well defined as it now is Is it expected that the popular memory is as convenient as that of the politicians Mr. Conkling is right the people demand that the statesmanship of the country shall be turned to other issues than than those the politicians throw in the way of reconstruction. The way to accomplish our purpose is to show the Radical leaders by our votes that the party which cannot give us repose, must give way to a political organization that can. That the people of this State will do this in November, now seems to be as certain as any event in the future can be. 'Flie Newsboys' Borne.

We have received from a correspondent who is generally well informed and just and liberal in his views, a letter which we do not publish in full because it does injustice to a worthy institution and the class it benefits. Our correspondent thinks the Newsboys' Home is a "mistaken and soft hearted charity," which is working evil instead of good to the community. In what way we let our correspondent tell in his own language The boyB are given supper, lodging and breakfast for ten cents, or supper and lodging at five cents. The institution has now been working about one year, and the rcBults are apparent. Every one has noticed who notices anything, the gradual increase of boyB around Fulton Ferry without any apparent occupation, except blacking boots or Belling somo miserable penny sheets during the day.

These boys mainly belong to the NewaboyB' Home. They can all without any trouble make their ten cents, and dunng the remainder of their time can loaf, steal, or be up to some mischief. They aro a nuiBance to every one woo has occasion to pass up or down Fulton street. Ladies are constantly insulted by them, and they are Impudent at all timed. These hoys, the worst in the city, know that they can get their lodging and Bupper for nothing, (for the Newsboys' Home will take them on trust) and consequently feel Bupremely independent.

Now had these boys to pay a fair price for their board and lodging they would have to earn it, and any too lazy for that, would go where they really belong to the penitentiary for vagrancy, where, at all events tuey wouiu do made work. Another evil brought on by this system is terrible in its depraving effects on boys, Bomeof whom are honest and well meaning. It is the inducement set forth to tbcm to run away from their homes and parents. These are coaxed by somo boys who stay at the Home to go with them for only one night, and this one night cxends indefinitely, and they soon become lost to oil goodness, for the associations they are brought into tho worst possible, as no amount of badness is enough to exclude a boy from the Home, and as no religious instruction is given of course there is no chance of reformation. We have known personally many cases where boys, runaways from home, have been found by their parents at this institution, and some when It was too late to regain what was lost.

We have also known of caseB where police oilicerB have gone to seek juvenile thioveB at tho Home, and they have invariably been found there. In fact, now, it is the llrst place to which detectives go when they are looking out for young criminals. Sometimes boys escape from the Truant Home and they immediately go to the Poplar street institu ion, and are there harbored and fed. We do not mean to say that the Superintendent knows all these tilings, but we do say that no means are employed to ferret them out. These charges against the newsboys are grossly unjust.

As a class, the newsboys are honest and industrious. They work hard to pick up a flaw pennies by selling newspapers, braving all inclemencies of the weather, laboring for many hours each day. cannot be charged with idleness, and industry and vice do not go hand in hand. The newsboys have their minimis avjets; so has every other calling; but because some ragged urchin is occasionally caught pilfering, it is cruelly unjust to fasten tho stigma upon the whole class of newsboys. That the number of newsboys has greatly increased of late years is due to other causes than the establishment of theNewsboys' Home.

The war depriv ed many poor families of their natural protectors, and by increasing the burthens of the community and the cost of living made it necessary for every member of the family who was able to try and earn something towards his support. Selling newspapers is the readiest thing boys can take hold of; they can do that when they get employment at nothing else. It is an at tractive business for boys it has freedom from restraint, and out door, activity which suits their disposition. The newsboys are generally of poor parentage, have not been brought up with much restraint, and their education has probably been neglected, but it is not Irom their ranks that the criminal class is recruited. The Newsboys' Home, of which our correspondent has so poor an opinion, we regard as a truly benevolent and worthy enterprise.

It is arguing against nature and experience to assert that giving a boy a comfortable lodging and a good meal of victuals will incline him to vice. The Newsboys' Home is not so attractive to boys who are really vicious as our correspondent infers, the restraint there is irksome to them and they prefer the streets. Our correspondent's misunderstanding of the subject he writes about is surpassed by the novelty of his ideas. He thinks that if the boys had to pay more for their board and lodging they would become more industrious and more virtuous, which involves the proposition that to elevate the moral character of the poor we should increase the cost of living and close all our charitable institutions. It is a fact to the credit of the managers of the Newsboys' Home, that they will not turn a boy away because he has no money to pay for his tood and lodging, or because somebody may say he is a bad boy.

It is the experience of all practical philanthropists and missionaries that if you would accomplish any moral improvement you mus first make the class you appeal to physically comfortable. The newsboys are a useful body, and have grown to be indispensable and are entitled to as much consideration as any other class that serves the community. They are bright, quick witted little fellows, capable of appreciating the interest that is taken in them, and the philanthropic efforts to make them happier and better boys will not he thrown away. We can cite our own experience of the newsboys who sold the Eagle at the ferries and through the streets irom ten to twelve years ago, and who have since grown to man's estate. All whom we recollect, and are now living in Brooklyn, are reputable and industrious men.

Not one that we know of has deliberately gone to the bad. For boys of their condition in life, growing up under so little restraint and exposed to such temptations, the newsboys as a class have turnod out remarkably well; their habits of industry, self reliance and hard experience in life, serving to counteract many of the evil influences by which they are surrounded, and which alarm people like our correspondent, who are hasty in their views and uncharitable in their conclu Blstorlcal Blunders. Senator Conkling, in his speech at Syracuse, said: more than trimph in elections. It must mMfrt nius for administration, and capaclt, for 'toffig equal to the occasion it accepts' buimuuiu There is no sounder axiom than this, but in laying it down, Mr. Conkling challenges a discussion which can hardly help his party.

Seven years ago the Republican party entered upon the administration of the government. In doing it accepted the occasion and undertook to deal with the obstacles in its way. Slavery was one of them; The temper of the Southern people, whether it was good or bad, was also to be considered The Republican leaders told 11 that U.A u9jr uou that thev couiu wjiue me oniy aisturoing ehynent in our politics.

Hannigan m. Lazarus and Meyor Israel. This suit is brought by IiarinlgaD, to recover a balance of fcmo $1,700 for work and matorials cx nended in constructing a stnblo for the defendants in Carlton avenue, near Myrtle. They seek to bo exempted from paying II, on tbo ground of a breach of the contract as to the time tbo work should bo com pletcd, and, furthermore, on account of certain defects in the work, and variations from the plans and specifications. Tbcy claim that tbo mason work, covered by Hannigan's contract, was not completed for about five months after time, that he laid stall foundations in such a manner as to necessitate making tho stalls over a foot too short, and tbat tho rear wall of tbo building and an area wall in front have bulged in such a manner as to show tho workmanship not to bo good.

A number of minor defects are also asserted, and, upon tho whole, they tblnk he owes them, rather tban they bim. On the other hand Uan nigan produces tho architect's certificate as to the goodness of the work when finished, and brines testimony to tbow that the defects mentioned in the walls wero cmsed by the weather since. He attributes the cfclav to them, charging that their carpenter delayed the work by failing to put on the floor beams in time, and so threw him into cold weather when Mb men couldn't finish the job. Tne variations from tbe plans, he claims, were made under arrangement wlth'them. The testimony adduced wbb very lengthy, and included the opinions of several experts who had examined the work.

SVass. The defendant in this case is tho proprietor of the well knoBD "People's Express." In last May he took possession of the store on tho corner of lied Hook Lane, bavinc leased it for an express office from the plaintiff. He soon after put up a large slzn, fifteen feet long by three feet and snnic inches wide, acrosB tho front of the building, and painted another on the side of the store looking on Red Hook Lane. Soon after, the plaintiff's husband, who was a painter, set up hnslness in the basement, and placed a large image sign on each side of the railing of the basement stairs in tho lane, in such a nay as to obstruct the view of Mr. Wass's bulletin board.

In the window above tho stairway, lir. Wass objected, and tarre tbo quarrel appears to have commenced. Mr. Handley took down a laie pien over Itae front door, one day, iu tne absence of Mr. Wass.

Tho latter, on his return, caused It to be replaced and on this occasion there was a bit of a row, which brought the parties Into tho Police Court. After that the eiea was taken down, and a temporary injunction against It obtained from Judge Thompson. All that part of tho side wall sign which projected above the level of the second floor was also painted over by the plaintiff, and has since been modified so as to remove It from the dispute. Mr. Wass claims that tbe plaintiff agreed to let him put up largo BlgnB if tbcy did not interfere with bor windows, and he eaid tola one did not.

On the other hand, this argument was denied, and it was also claimed tbat this particular sien did obstruct the view from the window to bucIi an extent as to conceal tho sidewalk on tbat Bldo or the street. Therefore they applied fora permanent Injunction. Whether it will be granted or not yet remains to be seen. The case Is to bo argued to morrow by the respective counsel. H.

The game resulted In a very bad defeat for the Unions, the score standing at the cluso of tbo ninth Innings 39 to 1. Tbls is one of the worst defeats the Union Club has ever sustained. The day was ono that ball playcra delight in, clear and cool, and a large concourse of spectators visited the enclosed grounde of the Irvington Club.

By. the time tbo third innings had closed, it was seen tbat the Union Club was decidedly overmatched. The swift pitching or Walters was entirely too much the generally heavy batBmcn, Swcezy, Stockman and Campbell, especially distinguished themselves on tho part or tne Irvinglons, and McAlee and 8.

"A Brooklynite" takes up tbo cudgel in behalf or the Haymakers, as will bo Been by the following communication To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle In your issue of the 25tli inst. I noticed tbat you speak in very severe terma of Mr. Cravcr, the; catcher of the Haymakers' Club; now, although I cannot justify in lull the actionjor which ho was guilty In tbe late match with the Union Club, Btlll I tnink'you ought not to have been quite bo soverc, because there was undoubtedly great provocation for the act. Among the crowd or people that occupied the seats iu tho rear or tbo catcher's position were a number or the rough element who embraced every opportunity or annoying Mr. Cravcr by insulting remarks; and at tho time the action occurred Mr.

Cravcr was running to catch a very difficult foul lly ball these persons were shouting and hooting, in order to confuse him, so that he would lose it under these circumstances. I tblnk. there was some extenuation for his fault, in regard to his play, I cannot agree with yon, as I think tho display he made was decidedly superior to that or Mr. Birasalf, of tho Union Club. A BiioOKi.rNiTE.

With all due respect to the opinions of tho "Brooklynite we can see no excuse for the act of Mr. Cravcr. No matter what the crowd did or said, he should have preserved his dignity as a ball player, and sb catcher of the celebrated Haymakers' Club. His policy should have been to hare paid no attention to the roughs, but by his disgustintr action he put himself on a level with those who insulted him. With regard to tho comparative merits of tho two catchers, Birdsall and Cravcr, it is a mere matter of opinion.

Mr. Birdsall catches from a Bwift pitcher, while Mr. Cravcr catches from a Blow one. With everything in favor of Mr. Cravcr, in the late game, we still thlrk tbat Birdsall'B catching was tar superior to tbat of Craver'f Pacific (of New Utrecht) vs.

At ono end is the Speaker's chair olevated on a platform and covered by a canopy. At tbo other end is the mace which lies on the tablo during tho sittings of Parliament.

Opposite the Ministry are the opposition; benches. The leader sits on a seat corresponding to that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Below the gang way on that sldo sit the Liberals, who support the opposition measures when they please, bnt who do not always follow the loader. Tho dissatisfied of this party brought the Derby Ministry tnto power and keep it there. The poers have scats assigned them on the floor, but they are be.

hind tho Bar. No peer of the realm Is allowed within the Bar while the House is in session. It is a little curious in building the Parliament Houses, which cost millions of pounds and took nearly a quarter of a century to build, tbc Queen's Entrance Is so Bmall that the state coach cannot pass through it, and the rioaee of Commons will not hold its members, and neither can be enlarged witbont taking tbo buildings down. NO ROOM FOR LADIES. Ladtea arc admitted to debates in tho House or Lords.

They occupy the gallery, and, by courtesy, the placo allotted to the Commons on the floor. But tho Com. mons. Trom the time or William RufUs, have refused to admit ladies into Ibeir chamber. Behind the Speaker's lebair there a little den orcagc assigned to them.

The front 1b covered with fine lattice work alter the manner of convents. This den will hold stxtcen. No one entere it without a special permit from the Speaker. No occupant xf the box can be seen from the House. The old theory that women would exert an improper influence over legislators keeps them banished from the floor.

They may hear the debates but they must continue Invisible. THE SPEAKER. The Speaker embodies the dignity of the Houso. He usually serves six years, although ho Is chosen for life, ne is generally made a peer and is removed into the other House. The office is not political, and the Speaker does not.

retire with the dissolution of Parliament. He lives in a sumptuous house, magnificently furnished, at the expense or the nation. His coaches and horses and footmen, which arc assigned him, rank next to the Queen's In magnificence. The plate with which he givcB the accustomed entertainments, lo Parliament, costs the nation a nv.lilon of dollars. The Speaker's salary Is $35,000 per annum, besides the hoiBCB, servants and plate.

The House opens at five o'clock. The Speaker walks from hiB aportment to his chair, in Btate. Crowds assemble to see the procession. First comeB a warden dressed in tho fanciful costume or Henry VIII, who cries: yes! yes! Make room for the Honorable Speaker In his robes, with his huge wig, with great dignity ho sweeps along through the corridor. The great gold mace, as much as a man can lift, is elevated before him.

The State eword, six feet long, with gold scab bard and jeweled hilt, double bauded, after tho fash ion of Richard of the Lion Heart, Is home by his sword bearer. Two men follow, holding up the Speaker's train. A full rigged chaplain completes tho procession. Ail persona tall hack and uncover their headB as the Speaker entera and takes hia seat. By consent no buslneaB is done the first half hour.

This gives time for prayers to be said inside by about a dozen "miserable sinners," and for a talk outside Members sit with their hats on, which they lift from their heads if they move from their seat or address the Speaker. MARKED MEN. DiBraeli leads the ministry. He is a small, dark complexioncd man, with black, kinky hair, a Jewish lace, that yon could recognize in the dark; he stoops. Ho has a clear shrill voice, speaks with great delibera.

Hon, and even drawls; usually his right hand rests on the table, on which he not nnfrequently leans. He is shrewd, talented, unscrupulous, without a particle of shame or fear, i or years he stood knocking at the door of the nouse ot Commons demaudlue admission wbich.was cloBcd against all Jews. When, admitted, and members turned their backs on him while he spoke, he shook his long bony lingers at the scoffers and said lo them, "The time will como when I'll com. pel you to hear mo." He is now master alike of the Commons and of the Lords. Gladstone leads the Liberal Party.

He 1b tall and light complexlonod, and there is an air of gallantry and fairness about htm that wins you at once. On rising to speak ho generally clnlchea the table with two bands and totters forth from heel to toe. Hia voice is good and bis utterance rapid. He iB freo from all tricks, and his marked candor gives him great influence. John Bright, who "sits below tbc gangway," IcadB the Democratic party in the House.

He Ib a short, stout, thick set man of tho genuine English build. He has more of the Amer ican style or oratory about him than any man in Ena land. He leads tho advance guard or the Liberal party in England, and bas always been an open and stead fast friend of America. Besides these men there is no speaking in the Houso that deserves the name. The oratory is as bad as bad can be, without sense without distinctness, It is positively painful: DrV ISION OP THE HOME.

This may be called for on any question at any moment. Surrounding the House or Commons is every conceivable convenience for its members. A dining room In which all the liquors or the season are served at a moment's notice drinklng rooms smoking and lounging roomB rooms for conversation for reading aDd writing can be found. Connected with tbeso rooms are thirty six bells which can bo touched by tho whipper in, who sits behind the Spcakor's chair. On a division being called for, the Speaker turns the tbreo minute glass that stands before him.

To get the members together before tho sands run out is a difficult task. Tbo thirty six bells are instantly rung members scramble from ail sorts of places to get Inside the House before the three minutCB expire. When tho sands run out the doors are closed and no one is admitted till tbo voto is taken. Tho rule is Inexorable The Queen herself could not get in. By sharp practice with the division, the Ministry have often been defeated.

A division Is made by tho yeaa and nays filing out of different doors, going through different passages, having their names written twlco and returning at different ends of the room. No man Is allowed to make a note or use a pencil in the Houso. Vfgtlant eyes are upon every corner, and a man with a pencil is immediately expelled. It costs a Bmall fortune to get into the House and a fortune to stay there. It Is a position of some honor and no pay.

Bubleioh. Democratic General Committee. The Democratic General Committee met last evening, the President, James B. Craig, in the chair. The minutes of tho previous meeting were read and approved, after which tho credentials wore received from the delegates elected to the Convention for tbc election of delegates to the State Convention.

There were no contestants trom any ward, and the elections were all confirmed. On motion, Herman L. Qnck. Alderman of tho Sixteenth Ward, was elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by tho resignation of James It. Jurgens.

THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION. Mr. Kalbflelsch I understand, Mr. Chairman, that there Ib to bo a Judicial Convention held at Nowbnrgb on the Stb of October. I would like to know what action the Committee proposes to take In the matter.

Tbc Chairman stated that no course of action had been determined on. Mr. Kalbflelsch moved that the delegates elected to tbc Slate Convention be empowered to act in the Judicial Convention. Mf. Hugh McLoughlin (Becond Ward) movod to amend, by appointing a committee of one from each assembly district, to nominate delegates to the Judicial Convention.

Mr. KalbfleiBch accepted tbc amendment, and aflora slight discussion it was adopted. The chairman then appointed the following committee First District H.McLougblln. Second Henry Powell. Third Thomas Foran.

In contrast with this style of literature there Ib a ceaseless issue of indecent publications of different grades of obsenlty. These books are printed in secret, bound fn BecreL and gold in secretjBnd yet the police are cognizant of these operations, knowing both the parties and their places of work. Tho rea Bon why this cursed trade is not broken ud Ib tbat the police are paid enough to keep It quiet. It iB forbidden to an attorney to take money from both parties in a law suit but a policeman enjoys a peculiar exemption from this limitation. He receives a snug salary from the public to walk tbo street in a dignified manner, and with Ub cap and uniform he makes i varv creditable appearance as ho assists some lady through a crowded thoroughfare.

The public, however little dreams that this man is recelvinir a subBldy from gambler, pickpocketo, dealers fn counterfeit money, and villains of all classes, among whom are those referred to. A policeman makes no arrests except when oblured to do his duty by some superior motive, OTwhenhedevotos Borne wretch to JuMico because th latler ceases to be profitable.

WANTED A SITUATION BYA Rl i pec tablo woman at wet curse at her own ret Itto paper bas tne liarsest Circulation ran? Evening paper published In the United Statoa. If value as an Advertising Bledlum la therefore apparent. Senator Conkling at Syracuse. Senator Conkling, in the prepared speech which he delivered in assuming the chairmanship of the Republican State Convention, on Wednesday, may fairly be accepted by both parties as giving "tone" to the approaching campaign.

At all events we are justified in assuming that ho has presented in a general naj, wutx jaaues upon wfiica the political or. ganization for which he spoke, solicit the verdict of the people of the State of Nrw Vnrt We regard Senator Conkling as clearly, sharp ly unu.upon tne whole, tairly stating the main question, and we.trust it will he kept prominently before the people trom now until the day designated for the rendition of the popular We quote from Mr. Conkling's speech: "The issue, between distraction, commotion, and exhaustion on the one Bide, and on the other union, tranquility, and prosperity. The country wanta roposo; wants an end of reconstruction; not only for the sake of reconstruction, hut for the eako of the inter esta which lie behind the statesmanship or the nation is needed for other questions the commercial and industrial affairs of the country the Interests of Amori la treatment. Taxes press vponthe people prices are tj4J7 cwe.

xieiiei is rasi ana reasonaDie aemand, and it can be fonndboth In legislation and administration, if we can but get rid of the needless political conflicts and collisions in the Government, which jar into ceaseless commotion the minds and energies of all concerned. We need measures of retrenchment and reform, of honest and exact administration, of thorough application and development of our resources and thus it can be made easier for every human being in the land to live and lo advance in the best aims qf life." This is a fair statement of the wishes of the people and of the needs of the hour. The people desire to get rid ot the question of reconstruction they emphatically want reconciliation between the two sections, and consequent repose. If the Radical party had any hope of either to offer, we believe it could count on the endorsement of the people of the Empire State this fall. Despite of the clamor which is being raised over the enlightened and liberal policy which the party in power is credited by Mr.

Conkling with enforcing, every man who lives by labor finds that it is every day becoming more difficult to live on the earnings of his toil. Capital is also harrassed by taxation, while the avenues for its profitable employment have been greatly lessened by the fatal national policy which looks for ascendency by keeping a whole section in turmoil and poverty. Objectionable and repugnant as are the means pursued for restoring the Southern States to the Union, the people would even endorse them, if repose was even likely to follow. But is it? Negro ascendancy is provided for tea States of the Union The relations of the two races are reversed. The negro is enfranchised the great mass of the whites disfranchised.

The fundamental principle of government is overturned. The whites of the South own ninety nino per cent of the property within the excluded States. The polit cal power of that section is placed in the hands of a class who have everything to gain and little or nothing to lose by revolutionary legislation. The men who would naturally have the chief interest in the stability of the government, will have the strongest incentive for desiring its overthrow. At a time when the best statesmanship of the nation is required to lift oppressive taxation from the shoulders of the people, the experiment of adding six hundred thousand ignorant negroes to the voting population of the country is about to be tried, with the certainty that this addition will afford stock in trade for demagogues, with which statesmen may be powerless to contend.

Prominent and restless men, without regard to party affiliation, already whisper the word "repudiation." On such a question how will six hundred thousand negroes vote who have nothing to lose, and who are not influenced to any extent by that feeling of national honor, in which the public creditors have their best security To the negroes the old Republic is indeed a "new nation." They are not moved by the old traditions they do not share in the past glories of the Republic they would never have occasion to hang their heads in shame when in a foreign land the charge might be made that we were a nation of swindlers. The complicated question of the desirability, even in a pecuniary sense, of patiently submitting to taxation, rather than break our plighted faith, is one which the negroes cannot be expected to comprehend, not alone because they are negroes, but because they are ignorant and incapable of coming to a conclusion which implies the possession of the very highest political education. It has been doubted that a nation of white men would freely tax themselves would submit to bur thensome taxation. The experiment is about to be fully tested. Does any fair minded person believe that at such a time it is politic throw the votes of six hundred thousand ex slaves into the balance In this negro question it is a mistake to suppose that the South is solely interested.

For good or evil these hundreds of thousands of negro voters will influence the destiny of the whole country. It is a great mistake to suppose that we are merely punishing "rebels" by placing ten States of the Union under the dominition of negroes. The unnatural relation of the two races, which the Radicals are intent on establishmg in the South, is one which cannot be maintained without outside interference. The people are firmly of the opinion that no reconstruction will bring repose, except that which will neither require nor provoke the constant interference of the Federal Government in the internal affairs of the States. Negro ascendency will provoke opposition.

It may be contracted and fitful, but in the face of it a constant supervision must be maintained over the South, and the only agent the central authority can employ is the army. This would involve a condition of quassi war, and would be utterly incompatible with the economy and repose which Mr. Conklin truly says the people are now intent in insisting upon. Fortunately for the country, and unfortunately for wretched Tennessee, the people have a living witness of the result of reconstruction in that State. We are obliged so maintain a standing army there every necessary election brings with it the threat of a resort to arms.

Capital shuns disorder if it exists surrounced by it, it slinks from the public view, and the safest and best thing a resident of Tennessee can do with his personal wealth is to hide it, or to run away with it to a more favored section Industry is paralyzed in such a society. The emigrant shuns it, and we close not only against the wealth of foreign labor, but against our own enterprise. The people want repose; Tennessee is reconstructed after the Radical fashion. There is no repose there, and the State, instead of bearing its share of the public burthens and easing our shoulders, is a so'urse of expense and danger to us. What Tennessee is, the Radicals intend that the South shall be.

To keep the peace in ten such States would tax the statesmanship of the country. It could not address itself to those questions which Senator Conkling confesses demand attention. Radical reconstruction ia not repose it is not. peace it is only provision for perpetual turmoil, and it had its inspiration in the base motive of securing a single party victory in the South, with tho assurance that the elements which contribute to it win De aiine Deyond. the control of both the existing political parties, immediately after the negroes are assured of a power, which when once conferred can neither be modified nor taken away.

In negro ascendancy in ten States of the Union, there is no "guarantee" for the future. Republican government is gone, it those who admimnister it are right in concluding that it is impossible to base it on the consent of the race, which established it. We will not admit any such conclusion. Both North and South yearn for repose. Will qny one say that it is not within the reach of a statesmanship intent on securing it The Radical leaders acknowledge that if a settlement can be effected, party will shiver into pieces.

A settlement was within our reach two years ago, and one year atives of the people are assigned the power of overriding a veto, but they are restricted by the terms of the Constitution. In overriding it that body has assumed the authority which cost Charles the First his head. Charles troubled Parliament with no vetoes, but he defied the fundamantal law of England, which establishes the principle that the people shall not be taxed except with the assent of their representatives. The South is now taxed, and is not represented. So were the American Colonists, and they rebelled against what they claimed to be a tyranny unknown the government of Great Britain.

James II. was not dethroned "for granting amnesty to traitors." His nephew, Monmouth, excited a rebellion agamst him. He was overthrown, and on his knees begged pusillanimously for life. His supplication was refused, and himself and hundreds of his followers were executed under the pretence of securing guarantees for the future. James the Second was dethroned becaues he sought to violate the Constitution of the realm in admitting Catholics he himself belonging to that religion to the same privileges as his Protestant subjects.

It was the fashion at that time to look upon all of James' religion as traitors. Senator Conkling is probably tho only living man who is so ignorant or so stupid as to give currency to what every modern English historian admits to have been a calumny. The people of England clung with great tenacity to established law. If a Parliament of England attempted to exclude ten' English counties from representation in it, revolt would follow in twenty four houra.

John Wilkes was excluded from a seat in Parliament on personal grounds. He was, in truth, a worthless fellow, but a great principle was violated in his person. His immediate constituenls elected him again and again, and the people stood by him against Parliament and King. Another Death from Whisky. A dispatch from Washington says Secretary McCollocb has Bent a message to Colonel Messmore, Deputy Commipsioner of Internal Revenue, informing the latler that his resignation would be accepted if proffered.

It is also known that three members of the. Metropolitan Revenue Board of New York have demanded that Mr. MeBsmore be withdrawn from the membership of that Board, or they will themselves decline to continue in it. We trust that Mr. McCulloch will now abandon the experiment of appointing one set of officials to watch another.

He has the power to dismiss dishonest men from office. His appointment of double sets of officials is a virtual acknowledgment that he fears to do so. If Mr. McCulloch has any ground for suspecting any of his Collectors and Assessors let him remove them. If they are dishonest men, they ought to be dismissed if they are honest, they ought not be insulted by having spies placed over them.

We told Mr. McCulloch that his Revenue Board would not be in existence six months when he would require another Board to watch it. If the action of the Board was determined by a majority of its members, how comes it that the majority resign? or how is it that Messemore is alone responsible? Let us know why the three members propose to resign if Messemore is retained? There is evidently something rotten in the Commission. Its light ought not to be hidden under a Temperance and Politics. The Tribune is in a quandary.

The Republican State Convention passed a resolution which seems to pledge the party to re peal the existing Excise law. This is calculated to drive off the temperance men, while it will not conciliate the liquor folks. The Tribune desires to get the votes of those who want laws prohibiting the sale of liquor, and of those who don't. To this end, it says, that every Republican is tree to be or not to be a Prohibitionist." All that is asked is that all shall vote the ticket. This would be an admirable solution of the difficulty if it were not for the fact that wherever the Republicans have secured a majority they at once establish Prohibition.

Now, both the liquor men and the temperance men have a right to know before going it blind," what is the position of the party on this question The temper ance men were satisfied, but the resolution of the Syracuse Convention will drive them off. Failing in its effort to ride both houses, tho Tribune on the whole, is inclined to abandon the Germans for the temperance folks. It says Nnwthenartv is menaced and assailed from the other side. Tho liquor men gay, virtually, "We are "not content with being allowed to favor or oppose prohibition as we see nr. iyo insist tnat you shall act as we think on this question if not, we shall turn against and upset tho Republican party." And thiB they have done in California, and vainly tried to do In Maine.

They tried it and failed in our State last year. Tet ono of them crowded a re snlvfl nmhodvfnff bis own views through the late Re publican State Convention at Syracuse, in the confusion of its dying moments. Such a resolve is not worth the paper on wlucliit was written. It willblindnobody, satisfy nobody. When the German citizens or California see lit to vote solidly the Democratic ticket because of their lovo of Liquor, we need not try to se enre their yoIcb.

The Democratic General Committee, last eyening, under the assumption that the call of Mr. Cristie for the meeting of the Judicial Convention to nominate a Judge of the Su preme Court on the 8th of next month did not afford sufficient time lor tne holding ot regular primaries, arrogated to itself the right to appoint the whole delegation. A committee of nine was selected to monopolize the representa tion of Kings County: The emergency may have required so extraordinary a proceeding, and this committee by the selection of a reputable delegation taken mostly from the profession best qualified to control a judicinl nomination may acquit itselt to the satisfaction ot that large body of the party who are interested only in fair dealing and upright courts. But if, on the other hand, the decision of last night should prove to be an intrigue for the promotion of the interests of a combination of men seeking judicial patronage and in fluence, to the exclusion of the earnest and laboring democratic members of the of this city, as well as in violation of the desires of good citizens, it will afford another evidence of the blindness of political leaders, and another indication of their speedy dis comfiture.

For a quarter Wabhihqtoh, D. Sept. 25, 1867. GEN. HANCOCK AND THE OBAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.

Dear Eagle In my last I noticed an apparent oversight in the arrangements made by the Committee of the Grand Army ol tho Republic in omitting the names of Major General Hancock from the list of distinguished officers to be serenaded by that organization on Monday night last in this cltv. The feeling on the subject ran so high that about three or four hours before the serenade took place the programme was so far changed as to Include the General's name in tho list. A band was provided for the occasion and with it at its bead, the Grand Army of the Republic, composed of about three or four dozon hungry looking office seekers, started from tbeir headquarters for Willard's Hotel, where General Sheridan was stopping. Here Borne eighteen hundred or two thousand persona had assembled, about one third of whom were decidedly Arican.incInding the Black Zouaves, "folly armed and equipped as the law directs." The General was loud ly called for and finally made bis appearanco amidst the most deafening cheers. General Chipmau tho Judge Advocate, who tried Wirz, of Andersonvlllc notoriety presented him, and in doing so alluded to his military career In neat little speech.

The General, who was attired in civilian costume, blushed considerably, but managed, alter quiet was restored, to Bay a few words of thanks foi the kind manner in which he bad been received, bowed several times and retired. GEN. SICKLES MAKES A SPEECH. From Willard's the band, Grand Army of the Repub lie and the crowd, moved around to the Ebbitt House where General Sickles is stopping, and in a few mo menta that officer made Mb appoarance, attired in a major general's uniform and leaning on crutches, and after the noise and confusion incident thereto had Bub Bided. General Farnsworth introduced him to the assemblage, and Sickles immediately opened bis gnus on the Executive, not by name but by insinuation, and attempted to defend his course while in command of the Carolines.

He extolled the darkeys for their "loy alty" during the war, and advocated their enfranchise ment and the disfranchisement of the Southern whiteB; complained of the injustice done him, and stated that his business here at this time was to vindicate his character, which, he believed, had been assailed. Du ring the delivery of his Byeeeh it was remarked by many that he was more of a politician than a genera? and tbcy deprecated the making of Buch speeches by ofllcers of the army. There were Beveral, too, who when he spoke of jus tice thought ol the Key murder, and murmured that if ho had had a little of that article dispensed to him a few years ago, he would not have been able lo make the speech he was then delivering. His good man Friday was bebindbim during the time he was speak ing, prompting him. As the crowd was of the Radical order, the General was repeatedly interrupted by hi, ni'B and cheers, ma speech will he used for election eering purposes throughout the country, and will be swallowed by the unsophisticated who.

do not know his record as well as the people of New York Slate do After leaving the Ebbitt House, many crowded their way to their homes, but a large number, preceded by the band, moved on down to the Metropolitan Hotel where General Hancock 1b stoppm, and brought that officer out. Being no politician he, like General Sher idan, blushed Borne, bowed several times, thanked them for the honor shown him aud retired, whereupon the crowd dispersed, and thus ended the Radical serenade. With the exception of Sickles' speech, the Grand Army of the Republic accomplished nothing In the way of a committal of Sheridan and Hancock to Ub heresies. During the three serenades above mentioned, An drew Jackson Johnson was repeatedly and enthusiastically cheered, showing that tho President was not for gotte ANOTHER SERENAOEi. Last night there was a white serenade tendered to General Hancock by his admirers, without regard to politics.

The people commenced assembling at the Metropolitan Hotel as early as six o'clock, and by half past nine they numbered fully four thousand. The front of the hotel wbb brilliantly illuminated with Chi nese lanterns and fireworks wore discharged from tho roof. The gettors up of the affair proved themselves adepts at tho reception business, and I heard several say that they must have received their schooling in either New York city or Brooklyn. At the last mentioned hour the people clamored so much for Hancock that that distinguished General was brought out and introduced to them by General Amasa Cobb, of Wisconsin, who served under Hancock during part of the war. The General, fearing that his remarks might bo misrepresented, had taken the precaution to.

write and have them printed, and upon appearing before the vast assemblage, proceeded in a clear, distinct and loud voice to deliver them. (The speech was sent over the wires by the Associated Press last night, consequently there is no necessity for giving it here.) During the delivery and after he had finished, the demonstrations of approval were of the most hearty and unqualified character, showing that the gallant commander of the 1st and 2d Corps had a large place in the hearts of his countrymen. After bidding the assemblage good night he retired to the reception parlor and thoro received his friends, who wero lavish in their exppressions of approval of the remarks which he had just uttered. There were no comnlaintB made, no nnllHea tnnphnri nn Tin 'spoke and acted as a soldier. On the balcony I noticed Hon, R.

J. Walker, Hon. W. E. Robinson, M.

Brooklyn, N. and many other distinguished officers and civilians. A VISIT TO THE PRESIDENT. After the ceremonies were concluded the major part of the crowd, headed by the four bands which had been provided for the occasion, marched to the White House and woke up Andy, who presented himjsoir and "said Mb say," after which they quietly dispersed. Thus ended tlte serenade of the season.

It was a success In every sense of the word. THE NEGROES ARMING. That alarmist, who prints two newspapers, both daily," in his cffortB lo inform his friends that the people or Maryland are organizing regiments of militia for, as he asserts, the avowed purpose of assisting the President to rcsiBt impeachment, should it be attempted, has faded to inform them there are numerous negro organizations forming in this city and arming themselves. I have been in their meeting rooms, and have endeavored to learn the source of authority for thus banding themselves together, but without success. The Bubject should receive the attention of the proper officers of the Government.

THE NATIONAL BANKS AND THE OHIO ELECTION. It is not generally known that the powerful combination of national banks is being used to carry the Ohio State election tor their interest, but such is the fact, and Jay Cooke ana Judge Chase are on the ground working for the election of the friends of Governor Dennlson, to the end that that gentleman may be elected by the Legislature as the United States Senator, vice Ben. Wade, who Is opposed, to the national bank system, and thus furnish Senator Sherman with a powerful aUy. On Friday and Saturday last heavy drafts ero made on a national bank in this city and were cashed and the money forwarded to Ohio. When it becomes necessary to use such means as is here related in order to obtain supporters for the national bank system, it ib about time the people should know something about it.

There is "something rotten in Denmark." I nave the best authority for stating that the President has concluded to await the results of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio elections, before be takes further action on removals and appointments.

ProfesBOr Niekle bas invented a puzzle which is one or the most ingenious and amusing things of the kind yet produced. A Fruit and Floral Festival. A very time waa had by the congregation of the State Street Congregational Church, last evening at that church: It was occasioned by the holding of a fruit and floral festival. The doors of the church were thrown open at half past seven o'clock, and before partaking of the fruit which was spread in the basement, the congregation seated themBolves iu the auditorium of the church to listen to music and speecbcB.

These exercises were opened by the introduction of Mr. Buckalow, who FaDg very nicely a song entitled "A Father's Love." He was followed by the Rev. Mr. Howe a city missionary, who was not very judicious in his remarks, and who seemed to think that he was addressing a political assemblage and not a social gathering. In fact, hiB epeech was very much of tho Bpreaa eaglo order, His audience was not sorry when His place was taken by Mrs.

Phillips. She eaug a very pretty little song called "Como Sit Thee Down." The gem ol the evening, was Miss Coola's song of "Oh I Ye Tears." This music she rendered in an cxquiBite manner, and received considerable applause. She was followed by Mrs. Phillips in tho "Mabel Waltzes." The applause following her fine effort had subsided, when Mr. Buckalow appeared and Bang "Oh I Take Mo to Thy Heart Again." At the conclusion of this song, Mr.

Harvey, the paetor of the church, made a very humorouB speech, managing to get his audience in a very good humor; he closed by inviting all to go below and partake of the refreshments thcro spread out for them. Thisrwas in the Sunday School room, and tho tables wbicb were Stretched on three sides of tho room were loaded down with luscious fruit and fragrant flowers. The centre table, was beautifully. decorated with flowers, and was presided over by ladles, whose beauty varied ns tbat of the wares they sold. The festival may ho considered in evory way a success.

Attempt at Arson at Poughkeepsie. An attempt was made on Wednesday night to fire a Iarpc and valuable building situated on the northwest comer Main and Bridge streets, Poughkeepsie. The lower part of tho building was used for stores, and the upper nart. was occupied by families. The fire was discovered by Ofllcers Furman and Hamlin, of the night police, and Mr.

Andrew Moore, an owner and occupant of one of the stores. Andrew Dolls, a confectioner, conducting business in one of tho stores, was arrested on suspicion of setting fire to tho building; the fire was found on his premises. There was an insurance of $2,300 on Mr. Doils's stock, which, it Is Eald, did not exceed four hundred dollars in value. Upon examination, it was found tho fire had been built in a coal bin, made of wood, and within a foot of the floor above, which was cleared and blackened for a space or four or five reet around.

Four auger holes had been bored through the floor for a draft. In the store above all the gas had been turned on to assist the flro in spreading. However, the attempt was frustrated, as, Instead or burning, the shavings smouldered and gave forth smoke only. Dolis is committed to await examination. Had tho attempt been successful, no doubt a great many deaths would have occurred, as the means of egress from tho building are very limited.
