Seward for the Presidency—New York Programme—Estimates of the Spoils, Immediately after the re-election of Sew- ard to the United States Senate, the re- sult of much tribulation, many troubles, a vast amount of bargaining and selling, and any quantity of hard work among wirepullers and pipe layers, they resolved next to make a State movement in behalf of their champion for the Presidency. This movement is now beginning to be deve- loped. The plan is to carry the Legislature next fall for Seward, and to get for him a le- gislative Presidential nomination for 1856, as the favorite of the dominant party of New York. Everythivg available or accessible is to be applied to carry out this project. Hence the figurings in the Seward journals of the canal revenues, the State debts, the financial policy of the State, &c. Hence the dispensatioas of the spoils by the Clark regency at Atbany, and their estimates of their available assets for fu- ture operations. Hence the Maine Liquor law, tokeep up the temperance excitement in the interior, and the new police bill to turn over thé police corps of this city to the control of the scene shifters and hired ruffians of the Broad- way House. The end justifies the means with the Seward coalition, however detestable or demoralizing the means may be. The following estimates—which were proba- bly p'cked up in the room occupied as the head- quarters of the Seward Junta at the Astor House—will show to the uninitiated reader how very closely al) the party movements of the arcb-agitator ere connected with the spoils, and how nicely arranged ere his calculations of losses and gains for the next fall canvass:— LOSSES.

What they have practiced here- tofore with success, they will try again, All these agencies of corruption, bribery aad ruffaniem, are to be employed to secure ano- ther Seward Legislature nex? fail, and his no- wication by it for the succession. If he gets it, there is a possibility that, amidst the confusion sad numerous candidates of an inevi- table scrab race, Seward may be carried up tothe House of Representatives as ‘one of the three highest candidates from the people—provided, always, that the anti-slavery excitement of the North is kept up at the boiling point. To this end Greeley stands at the bellows, and is blow- ing, and will donbiless continue to bjow, the coals of this new antislavery agitation with ali bis might and main. The post of Thurlow Weed, and the “little villains” in power at Albany, will be to manage the jobbing and trading with hungry spoilsmen and all accessi- ble outside cliques and factions. To defeat this beautiful plot of the Seward ccalition, it is the manifest policy of all the opposition elements in the State, including the friends of Fillmore, Dickinsop, and George Law, to cealesce for the election of an anti- Seward Legislature next fall; and we have every reason to believe that they can and will do it. Seward, defeated bere, is defeated every- where; but give bim the vote of New York apd he may pos-ibly control the balance of power in the Presidential contest. He and his partizans are in the field throwing up their earth works, Let the opposition torces prepare © countermine and biow him up. - a Tur Pronimrony Law.—-Now that this mea- vure is part of the law of the State, it is well to prepere ourselves for i's conseqaences. In the firet plaice, #8 & matter of course, it will throw | out of employment the entire liquor selling class, the heepers of taverns, bare, and drink- i loons ; many thousands of persons in all, t effect the importers of liquor in as se yy. large numbers of the. grocers and importing merchants must be rained by the loss of their profits on the sale of imported liquors, For some years spirituous liquors bave been the most profitable commodity im- poried by the grocers, and it has often bap- pened that they hove relied upon their profits from ibis souree to make up for their losses on all others. They will now lose the whole. Again, | ibe be in nineteen cases out of twenty, vere @ ¥ | must be ruined by the operation of the law. High as the rates of living at first class hotels are, it has been perfectly well understood by those well informed that the most substantial rource of re a hotel i# ths bss. Mary of the i io New York would bare been loving concerns for yeare bad it not of the Spanish sovereignty. are facts which 1 Cube been for the bar-roome attached, where liquor was sold by the glass at enormous profits. All these interests must be destroyed by the effect of the probibitory law. Either the pre- sent hotels must fail, pass into other hands and be re-organized on a new system, or the price of board at them must be raised—in which case the boarding houses will do a good business, and the hotels remain empty. There is ruin obvious either way. The grocers and liquor importers are among the few interests which survived the pressure of last year. When the railroads were breaking, and the dry goods men crashing on every side, people envied the grocers, and spoke of them as though they were destined to stand forever. The prohibitory law willdo their work as completely asa law forbidding printing would destrey newspapers. Evidently this law will not go into effect | without eome trouble. In orderto be prepared before hand, would it not be well tor the hotel keepers, importers and liquor dealers to meet, and take some preliminary steps towards or- genizing for the defence of their rights? The ruin of interests j.volving twenty or thirty millions of dollars, in order to try an experi- ment of reform, is a serious matter. We have had enough of financial crises for the present. Cannot something be done to prevent the bank and money convulsion which must grow out of the law! The Late Bioody Doings in Caba—The Pevtls of Spanish Terrorism, The late terrible executions of Pinto and Estrampes at Havana have produc-d here, as they must everywhere produce, a profoand sensation of pity and horror. The effect has been such as to paralyze for the moment any general expression of public opinion through the newspaper press. From the article, however, which we copy to-day from the Charlestoa Mer- cury—a remarkably conservative journal upoa the Cuba question—we doubs not a correct judgment may be formed of the sentiments of the mass of the American people touching thece late bloody doings of the Cuban authorities, A despotic mockery of justice and law, and of all the forms of criminal trials, as recogaized amcng civilized nations, can be nothing else than repulsive to any intelligent people. But the reaction from such bloody terrorism as this of Cuba upon the public mind in this country— considering our delicate and critical relations with Spain—is full of peril to her coatiaued sovereignty over her “ Ever Faithiul Island.” Experience should have taught the Spanish authorities the wiser policy of moderation. The summary execution of Crittenden and his command, of the last filibusteriag expedition of Lopez, and even the garroting of Lopez, had lees effect—much less—in repressing the fllibus- tering spirit in the United States thaa the sub- sequent clemency extended to other prisonersof that expedition by the Captain General, and by Queen Isabella. In fact, we have reason to be- lieve that revenge for the hasty slaughter of Crittendon and his companions constituted a primary incentive to the organization of this more formidable scheme of invasion and revola- tion, which has lately been detected and de- feated through the most remarkable and ex- traordinary vigilance of the government at Washington. That this conspiracy embraced a large aud influential body of Cuban creoles there can be little doubt ; that is involved a very formidable secret volunteer organization in this country there can be no qnestion ; that the conspirators contemplated a hostile invasion of Cuba, and a co operative internal rebellion, and that they aimed at the violent overthrow appear to have been well ascertained. The ieland leaders in the movement, also, may pos- eibly have intended the assassination of the Captain General as the signal for a general rising, or as a@ coup d’état; bat of this we have no proof, What we have had, has been the arrest of a number of suspected creoles and Catalans by the Cuban authorities, and the execution of several, under a system of indictment, trial and condemnation which renders unsafe the lite of every man in the island, and of every visiter there, who may incur the suspicion of an in- former, whether such isformer be av hovest msn or 2 convicted felon. We, theretore, repeat that the facts and cir- cumstances of these late executions at Havanain. stead cf repressing, through terrorism, the epirit of filibusterigm in the United States, will only operate to strengthen aud extead it. To the adventurous young men of the South and West, full of the propagandism of republicaa opiaions, and intensely hostile to the domineering French and English protectorate over Cuba—to our reckless military spirits, ambitious of glory as the liberators of a suffering people—to unem | ployed heroes and patriots with an ee to the | spoils——the bloody despotism so s*rikingly con | firmed in the fate of Pinto aud Estrampes wili be recognized as a fall justification for the | overibrow of the sovereignty of Spsiv, at the first opportunity, with or without the authority | of our federal goveroment, It is possible, in- | deed, that such may be the effeot upon the American popular miod thas our government may be ultimately compelled to fal! back upoo the Jast alternative of the Aix-la-Chapelle mani festo—the seizure of the island. At all events, there ie great danger that such an impulse will | be given tofilibasterism from the late barbarous | proceedings of the Caben authorities, as will, | in the event of @ hostile irruption or revolation in the island, render the governmeat at Wash- ington powerless to arrest the emigration of revolutionary reinforcements by thousands from our shores. It is a great mistake to suppose that the dis- covery and defeat of the late projected foray and insinuation has broken up and dispersed the filibustering branch of this conspiracy in the United States. On the contrary, we are credibly informed that this secret orgeniza- fion continues snbstantially intact—that it numbere come thousards of able bodied young men; that it hes a fund of nearly two millions of dollars, partly collected from the creoles of Cuba; that it has from four to halfa dozen ewift steamers already chartered, and a good store of arms and munitions of war. We are also advised that the leaders of this or genization are impressed with the idea that it je importan’ to sirike another blow for the liberation of Cuba, before England and France are relieved of Russia; and that our flibuacters are confident ‘hat the present Relgn of Terror | will react to their'advantage upon the slightest prospect of deliverance from a liberating in- vasion. It Je not in the natare of things that a despo- tiem Jike that of Spaio can much longer con- | inue to exist so near the liberal and inviting | siitatione of the T of Cuba, cannot Such barbarisw as resist ite daily contact with the ited States, ae the Island | / hat which rules | } forms and usages, the blessiogs and: advan- tages, of a high civilization. The institutions ot Cuba must be moulded by Spain to suit the preesure of the superior influences which eur- roucd them, or they must be sooner or la‘er extinguished in a bloody war. The dibkral policy of Eogland towards the Canadas, resulting from the revolutionary ous- break there in 1837, should have taught the government of Spain, ere thie, her true course for the preservation of the brightest jewel inher crown. The adverse policy of crushing her Cubax Creoles into passive submission, of sup- pressing filibusterism by lawless acts of bloody vengeance, and of bo!d defiance, under the pro- tection of England and France. against our gov- ernment and our people, cannot last. The fee- ble administration of Mr. Pierce may succumb, for the sake of peace and the quiet enjoyment of the spoils of office; but even he may yet be compelled to play a bolder hand thao pas sive insctivity. Io a word, neither the tranquillity of Cuba, nor the peace of the world, is calculated to gain anything from such acts as the executions of Pinto and Estrampes. Their direct tenden- cy is to widen and deepen the disaffections ex- isting in Cuba, and to give an increased energy, activity and pressure, to the tilibuetering socie- ties in the United States, from New York to Texas, and from the sources to the mouths of the Mississippi. Under its present auspices, it is doubtful if Cuba can exist another twelve- month: without a terrible reactionary move- ment, from within and from without, against the darkest and fiercest deepotiam of modern times. Paciric Rathroap—Survey oF THE SouTHERN Rovte.—We have received a small volume in manuecript, abounding in beautiful pictorial illustrations, and embiacing the results ofa topographical reconnoissance of the extreme Southern route for a railroad from the Miesis- sippi valley to the Pacific ocean, by A. B. Gray, late U. S. Surveyor of the Mexican Boundary Commirsion, This manuscript we shall publish as soon as we can conveniently make room for it in our columns. It the mean- time, we can promise our readers that this re- connoissance will give all the practical infor- Ttoation desired in reference to this Southern Pacific route. These notes include an examination of the entire Southern line, from the eastern limits of Texas westward to the Rio Grande and El Paso; thence through the defiles, and over the depressions of the Sierra Madre, or Rocky Mountains, into the elevated table lands of the Gadsden country; thence in the general direc- tion of Col. Cooke’s wagon route to the Pacific. The advantages of this route, as showa in the late report of the Secretary of War, over all the other Pacific routes for a railroad, are that it is fiom five to eight hundred miles shorter than any other, that it is entirely free from the obstructions of snows and freshets, that it will require no tunnelling, very little bridge building, and that over the greater part of it the cross-tics and rails may be laid dowa with little or no grading, and that there are very few points where any heavy grading will be required. The dieadvantages of this route are the general absence of timber, the general scar- city of water, and the predominating desert-like character of the country, from one extremity tothe other. These drawbacks, however, exist on every other route, in addition to the obsta- cles of vast chains of snow-covered mountains, volcanic defies, deep ravines and water courses, anda great increase of the length of the jour- ney. Were other things equal, the single item in favor of the extreme Southera route, of a raving of at least five hundred miles over aay other from the Mississippi valley, would be conclusive. But it has advantages in respect to climate and topography equally decisive, It turns the vast mountain barriers, which, by all the otber routes, will have to be climbed over or tunnelled. Nature and the topograpbical engineers con- cur in favor of this extreme Southern route. There is, and can be no other practicable route | » for @ Pacifiie raijroad for balf a century to come, within the limits of the United States, short of the annexation of Mexico. And, as tae next Congress may be called upon to decide whether they will devise the ways and means for the Pacitic road, or consent to the loss of a}l our Pacific territories in the establishment of an independent republic, the road by this Southern route, a8 the only really practicable one, tuggests itself as a great Usion measure, and an imperative public duty at any cost.

We briefly alluded to the death of this emivect citizen in yesterday morning’s edition, in comnectiua with pud- lic demonstrations in honor of his memory. We to-day give further particulars regarding bis family history and of his public services, ‘The family of Jones, from whom he eprang, originylly came from Wales, and settled at Oyster Bry, Queens county, Long Island. Among the first of the family who came over was David Richard Jt |, Who settled on @ tract of land near Oyster Bay, where it is believed the family obtained a patent for a considerable body of it. The father of Walter R. Jones, o: Walter Restored Jones, was John Jones, who bore « commission, and served in the American revolutionary army. His mother was the daughter of John Hewlett, an old north of France (or probably a Briton) name, and whose father ‘was at one time a Commissary in the British army. ‘The micdle name of Jones occurred in this wise. The first born son was called Walter, who, when s promising boy, was thrown from a wagon and killed. When the subject of this notice was born, his mother from a desire to restore or reinstate the name in the fa’ mily, named him Walter Restored Jones.
