The New Orleans excitement has ended by the triumph of the Vigilance Committee, and the ap- pointment by them of a special police of one thou- @and men to maintain order and protect the polls ‘and voters from ruffians on the day of election. This will come off on Monday, doubtless without bloodshed or disorder. The command of the citi- zens enrolling themselves in support of the Vigi- lance Committee w.s conferred on Major J. K. Dun- can. He is a graduate of West Point, and served with some distinction in the United States army. On his return from Oregon, in 1854, he resigned his @enmafasion as lieutenant in the artillery, and joined the @libusters under General Quitman, with other army officers. In this service he undertook # peril- ous commission to Cuba, which he filled to the great satisfaction of his friends. He afterwards visited Carvajal and Vidaurri in Mexico, by invitation; bat their views not meeting his approbation, he returned to the United States, and is now employed by the government as superintendent of the construction of the Marine Hospital at New Orleans. Though a young man, being about twenty-eight years of age, his coolness and sagacity in council and energy in action placed him high in the confidence of the councils in Quitman's Cuban organization. The War Department has received despatches from Gen. Harney somewhat confirmatory of the reported expulsion of Gov. Cumming from Salt Lake City by the Mormons. It is supposed, however, that the Governor left the city voluntarily, aa it isknown he promised Gen. Johnston, on leaving Camp Scott for the valley, that he would return in two weeks. Gen. Henderson, Senator in Congress from Texas, died at Washington yesterday. Yesterday was private bill day in Congress, and but little business other than that relating to claims ‘was transacted. In the Senate a bill establishing a steam mail line between New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Europe, was read twice and referred {to the Post Office Committee. The Committee on Ter- ritories reported adversely to organizing Dacotah Ter- ritory at present. In the House the Chairman of the Naval Committee endeavored to introduce a bill aa- thorizing the constraction of ten propellar sloops of war and a side wheel steamer, all of light draft, but leave was refused. Notice was given of an amend- ment to the bill increasing the number of propellors to thirty. The Senate's amendment to the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was agreed to. ‘The House passed the bill confirming preemption rights of settlers in Illinois, and also the bill con- tinuing half pay to certain widows and orphans of Revolutionary soldiers. The bill decides that the pay of these pensioners will commence from the 4th of March, 1848, and involves an expenditure of a million and a half of dollars. Both houses have agreed to finally adjourn on the 10th inst. In exeoutive session yesterday the Senate con- firmed a number of appointments, but the New York nominations were not reached. The Republican General Committee of this city met last evening and organized by choosing the sual officers. A resolution sustaining Senators Seward and King for their course in Congress with reference to the British outrages was discussed, and finally laid on the table. The trial of Christopher Reynolds for the murder of his brother Dennis was commenced in the Kings county Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday. Tne circumstances of this case have already been pub- lished in the Heratp. The Puropean mails bronght by the America feached this city from Bostom yesterday morning. Although the chief points of the news were em- braced in our telegraphic summary from Halifax, we give today some interesting extracta from our foreign files. The concluding scenes which took place in the English Commons on the Cardwell censure motion debate were rather exciting, and brought Lord Palmerston to his feet, when his lordship delivered a very characteristic speech. It is acknow- Jedged by the London Times that the Clayton- Bulwer treaty forms the only bar to North American progress in Nicaragua, which would go on, even to annexation, were it not for the existence of that document. The final meeting of the Councilmen's Committee on Streets, in reference to the extension of Albany street, took place yesterday. Rev. Dr. Vinton ar- ved against the extension of the street through ‘Tri ty choreh graveyard at considerable length. ‘ varties also spoke both in favor of and against ‘be unyprovement, but the action which the commit NEW YORK AERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1868, “tee may take in the question ts @ matter ef uncer tainty. No new points were developed in the argu- mente advanced yesterday. The two charges against Mestayer & Pergeline, importers of foreign goods—one for resisting Cus- tom House officers in search of supposed smuggled goods, and the other for smuggling—have been dis- posed of within the last week by the United States Circuit Court, by the acquittal of the defendants on both indictments, Having given the accusations aga‘nst thoce gentlemen in their preliminary forms, it is but an act of justice to them that in addition to the report we should here state they have been fully acquitted, and that their alleged resistance was justified by the Judge who tried both causes. ‘The annual meeting of the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company was held yesterday, in the new depot at Jersey City, on which occasion they gave a collation to about seven hundred of their friends. A full account of the proceedings will be found elsewhere. Owing to the investigations that have been re cently going on in this city and vicinity, in relation to the source from whence comes a large quantity of the milk which is peddled about the streets and from corner groceries, the subject has already found its way into Cincinnati and Chicago, where the greateat excitement is now prevailing on account of the dis- closures that have just been made in those cities. It appears that New York is not the only place where swill milk establishments flourish. The Westera papers recommend the passage of State laws to pre- vent the keeping of cows on slops. The Board of Councilmen last evening adjourned till Monday for want of a quorum. They will meet every evening next week, except Saturday. We have news from St. Lucia, Weat Indies, to the 10th of April. The weather was dry and the island healthy. The Palladium says:—“A communication has been received by the local authorities from the home government, intimating that steps are being ta- ken to send hither a number of liberated Africans. This will bea real boon to the colony, and, looking at the highly satisfactory condition of those who were sent to this island a few yearsago, it will prove equally so to the immigrants themselves.” At Singapore, on the 7th of April, gold dust rated, Malayan, &c., $29 50, and Australian $31 a $31 50 per bunkal. ‘The cotton market was heavy and unsettled yosterday, while the sales embraced about 900 bales. Prices were irregular. The sales made indicated decline of ab wut ¢., closing at about 11%c. for middling uplands. Flour ‘was steady, with more doing for home use and for export The upper grades of State and Western were in moderate supply and firm, while common brands were unchanged. Wheat was about 2c. per bushel better. The market was active, with free sales at prices given in another piace. Corn was also firmer, with sales of 30,0008 40,000 bush- eis at higher prices. Pork was heavy and lower, with sales of mets at $17 60 and of prime at $14 10 a $14 15. Sugars, on account of the favorable character of the news: brought from Havana, were firmer and more active, while sales embraced about 1,800 a 2,000 bhds. Cuba muscovado at full prices. Adout 750 bags Rio coffee were sold at 1030. and 200 Maracaibo at 12}¢0. Freights were quite heavy, and closed at a decided decline. For partiou- lars we refer to another columa. Our Central American Relations—A Few Facts for Gen. Cass. We publish elsewhere to-day a mass of infor- mation from several quarters, all throwing light upon some of the points of the Central Ameri- can imbroglio. Several of the Commodores, each with a small army of allies, are in Washington, endeavoring to humbug the government into taking some new step in the dark in regard to our Central American relations; and the documents we pub- lish this morning will give Gen. Cass a good deal of information regarding all these schemes, and the manner in which they are played. The fight of the Commodores appears to have been reduced toa contest between Vanderbilt and Joe White—Morgan, having made a compro- mise with the former, has gone to New Orleans to look after his Texas and Vera Cruz lines. He has become sole Commodore of the Gulf of Mexico squadron. C.K. Garrison goes to Cali- fornia to-day, under a treaty of peace, by which he is to pull the wires there and be Commodore of the Pacific squadron. Vanderbilt, having been defeated by Collins in his aspiration to be Commodore of the entire Atlantic squadron, has now to play bis game to become undisputed Commodore of what we will call the Home squad- ron. He and Commodore Roberts are manceu- vring to prevent the creation of a Tehuantepec steam fleet, and when this is done they will fight between themselves for the broad pennant. One of our Washington correspondents inti- mates that there isa new Commodore preparing to come into the field, and we have some rea- son to suspect that this is Commodore Law. We hope the government will not heed the contradictory statements of “gentlemen of wealth, influence and high social position,” who are continually going on from New York to pour the most conflicting misrepresentations into the ear of the Secretary of State. We have received from Central America reeently much more information than the crowded state of our columns would permit us to use; and we have studied the condition of things there attentively and minutely. We have no hesita- tion in saying that the condition of affairs there is not only not permanent, but it contains the germs of an early and porhaps bloody revolution at no distant day. Mons Belly seems to be carrying everything before him; but his sympathies and his efforts are directed entirely to the perpetuation {n power of the old servile faction, represented by Mora in Cos ta Rica, Martinez in Nicaragua, and Carrera in Guatemala. Under the state of feeling engen- dered by the folly of Walker and the intrigues of the Transit route agents on one side, and the hope of material ald from Louis Napoleon on the other, this may succeed for a while. The Belly diplomacy, with ite post prandial oratory, will go on ewimmingly for « short time, and if we do not undertake to diminish his allowance of rope he will soon hang himself. Among our reasons for entertaining this con- viction we may cite the following facte:—The French idea is to re-establish the old Central American republic under the rule of the ser- viles—the same party that caused {te breaking up in violence and bloodshed years ago. In Costa Rica there is a strong feeling against the policy of Mora in making himself supreme there; and it is well known that his own brother-in-law, Gen. Canas, entertains forebod- ings of ill from it. In the recent negotiations with Belly and the Nicaraguan and Costa Rican governments Gen. Canas does not figure at all, but seems to have subsided into retirement. In Nicaragua the old feud between Leon and Gra- nada is more bitter than ever, and the former is preparing to resist openly the servile party who now rule in the republic. One of our correspondents writes to us that? the people are all tired of Walker, but that if General Quitman will come out there every one will join him. General Lamar, our present Minister, has failed in his mission, and in disgusted and about te come home. Hondo- tas has enjoyed peace for a long time, and now looks forward with hope to the completion of her railroad from the Atantic to the Pacific, which is a rival to the Nicaragua route; and she is not likely to look favorably on the Freveh projects and policy, Carrera is now supreme in Guatemala ; and besides, he is grow- ing old and not likely to accept # diminution of his position, or the barden of new cares as chief of a new Central American republic. Here we sce abundant reasons why the French project of » Central American republic should fall to the ground, and for the breaking out of civil war between the serviles and the liberals of Nicaragua, and its possible extension to Costa Rica. We therefore advise Gen Cass to delay all action in our Central American re- \ations for the present. Let Gen. Lamar come home and tell him all he has seen and learned, aud let Mons. Belly have all the rope he wants, and hang himself. Let the Commodores con- tinue their internecine quarrels; let the Tehu- antepec mail contract be signed, and a rival route be opened; aad let matters in Cen- tral America come to a ripe head. By the time the fever season is over and cool weather sets in, our Central American relations will be io a very different position from what they are to-day. Yacatra to Somm Purross.—It is pretty generally conceded that our wonderfal regatta the other day, was nothing more than s chil- dren’s frolic. There was no wind, there were no waves to test the sea-going capacities of the several yachts, and the comparative seamanship and nautical discipline of which each is pos- sessed. The whole affair, from beginning to end, was, indeed, very tame, and would have been exceedingly flat, according to the most re- liable accounts, but for the oysters and cham- pagne. But why can’t we get up something here that will rival or surpass the memorable race of that famous yacht Amorica around the Isle of Wight? Why not? What is there to prevent our spirited young gentlemen of the Yacht Club of New York from organizing a race around the entire circumference of Long Island—starting from and coming in at Hobo- ken? Suppose, for instance, they give us a trial of wind and bottom over this course be- tween the swift-footed Julia and the sure and long-winded Rebecca, taking the weather, winds, waves, calms and storms as they may come? The professors of the turf would set down the late general affair as a quarter stretch scrub race; and they would say that many a quarter horse, in such a ran, would show off handsomely, that would be left out of sight in a four mile pull and repeat, for the best two out of three. What say, then, our young men of the Yacht Club to a special race of two or more of their crack vessels around the breezy circum- ference of Long Island? Tus War Question.—It is somewhat remark- able that, while the leaders of the republican party in the United States Senate—Seward, Hale and Wilson—have been among the most clamorous for a war with Eagland in defence of the national honor, the leading organs of the same party here should be denouncing the bare idea of such a war as something “unchristian, inhuman and immoral” to the last degree. But the truth is that nobody believes in the exist. ing probability of a war with England— everybody considers the whole of this agi- tation of the subject as involving a vast amount of humbug and stuff for Buncombe. And eo it does. There will be no war with England this time. Every man who remembers the terrible epoch of “fifty-four forty or fight,” can have no doubt upon the subject. The views of Mr, Mason, Chairman on Foréign Relations of the Senate, settle the ques- tion. He is considerably behind Mesers. Seward, Dougiar, Toombs, Hale and Wilson; but it is very likely that he knows more of the upshot of this war question than all these belligerent gen. tlemen put together. Let, then, all our fright- ened old fogies of the peace party take a cup of warm tea, go to bed, and make themselves per- fectly easy. The war may be considered as having blown over. Tas Wosertr's Pons Ixvestieation.—The investigation by a committee of Congress into the facts connected with the sale to, and pur- chase by the government of Willett’s Point as asight for « fortification, has resulted in no very astonishing disclosures, after all. The sale and purchase seem to have been a regular busi- ness transaction—the sellers trying to dispose of their property at the highest price, and the agente of the government endeavoring to buy at the lowest possible figure. Very likely had the government wanted the land for nothing more than a cabbage garden Mr. Floyd could have secured it for perhaps half what it cost him; because there are other lands all over Long Island that would answer just as well for cabbages as Willett’s Point. But it so happen- ed that Willett’s Point was a good site for a fort, and the very site the government wanted in that quarter, and #0 the holders made Mr. Floyd pay ® good round price for it—an every day transaction among private dealers in the sale of town lots for this or that particular pur- pose, according to the advantages of the lo- cality. This, we believe, tells the whole story of the sale of Willett’s Point. We apprehend, however, that the Hon. Mr. Haskin, chairman of the committee in the inves- tigation of the subject, has been actuated more by a desire to damage Collector Schell, and to defeat his confirmation in the Senate, than by any other con- sideration; and there are others concern- in this business whose special ob- bas been « breach in the Cabinet, through regular dead set at the Secretary of War- Mr. Floyd survives the Willett’s Point, the Snelling and the Mormon war contract ac- cusations ; and we suppose that his enemies, in- side a well as outside the democratic camp, will now give it up thet they are beaten. As for the issue between Mr. Haskin and Collector Schell, that also, within a day or two will pro- bably be settled to the satisfaction of the de fendant. We are sorry for the Hon. Massa Greeley ; bat we would recommend him to fall back upom Matteson and “free wool.” TH Tur Rows ayy Rerrians or Kaysas.—Our black republican cotemporaries are working desperately to get up a little breeze of excite. ment concerning the late border ruMan out- rages in Kansas; but it ie no go. These recent outrages were confined to two hostile bands of fierce banditti, the one headed by Capt. Hamil. ton, pro-slavery, and the other by Capt. Mont- gomery, no slavery, They came into a colli- sion rather unexpectedly to the latter party, and the consequence was that some ten or a dozen of them were rather unceremoniously killed amd wounded. Had both parties been exterminated in the encounter the people of Kansas would have bad occasion to be very thankful. And this, we believe, is the whole matter in a nutshell. The Kansas agitation is played oat. ‘The Insac’- ction at Hew Orieans. ‘The outbreak of s portion of the people at New Orleans, of which the public will find the of any political party which renders it peculiarly obnoxious to the reproach of municipal misgovernment than any other. The imbecile and corrupt rulers of New Orleans Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Louisville, Cincinnati—have systematically neglected their duties, robbed the public, and fostered a state of society under which neither property nor life has been secure. The cause of the phenomenon is as plain as the consequence is obvious. In all our great cities the taxpayers, as a body, have made a practice of abstaining from the elections. They have left the centrol of the elections and of the city government to the most worthless and depraved claas of the com- munity—to fellows without property or calling or stake in the community—to the rowdies, shoulder-hitters and vagabonds which abound in all large cities. For years this clags has ex- ercised @ control more or less complete over the municipal governments of all our large cities. Sometimes they have called themselves demoorats, eometimes Know Nothings, some- times republicans. Everywhere their aims have been the same—plunder; their means identical—violence and fraud ; their fruits si- milar—anarchy. In San Francisco, which for many years con- tained more than itsshare of vagabonds from the Eastern cities, this pestilent class exercised s0- vereign rule until the people, whose patience was exhausted and feelings desperate, rose suddenly and subverted the constitution and the laws in order to get rid of the curse. We now see that the example has been followed in New Orleans. Tt is not necessary to enlarge upon the fatal tendency of Vigilance Committees. In @ coun- try like this, where there is no standing army to enforce obedience to the laws, the safety of so- ciety depends upon the readiness of each citizen to be bound by the laws which he has helped to make ; illegal insurrections against the consti- tuted authorities must—if they be successful— prognosticate speedy ruin to the institutions and stability of the country. The hour when our people begin to appeal from the ballot box to the barricade—as the French do—will not be far distant from the end of liberty in the United States. At the same time, we cannot wonder at the conduct of the people of San Francisco and New Orleans. In the latter as in the former city, we hear that the leaders of the insurreo- tion are men of standing, respectability, means and character; they seem to have been driven to the step they have taken. There is very lit- tle doubt but we shall all be driven to adopt a similar course if our taxpayers persist in their present foolish course with regard to municipal affairs. If the taxpayers of this city would anite together before every municipal election, and nominate good men—taxpayers—for each mu- nicipal office, witheut respect to political party, there would never be any need of Vigilance Committees here; if the taxpayers persevere in their absurd relinquishment of municipal privi- leges to the rowdies and shoulder-hitters, there must come s time when we, too, shall have to choose between a revolutionary Vigilance Com- mittee and fatal anarchy. Tar Cass or Ma. Dwiont.—The examination of Mr. Henry Dwight on the first charge of per- jury arising out of his connection with the Chi- cago, Alton and St. Louis Railroad, was con- cluded before Judge Rusell on Thursday, and Friday next has been fixed for rendering the decision. This is but the first of a numerous catalogue of criminal charges against Mr. Dwight, arising out of alleged frauds in the management of this reilroad, of which he was once a director, and of which, according to the theory of the prosecution, he had always nearly the whole control. Each charge will be taken up in succession. They comprise two charges of perjury, one of embezzlement, aud one or more of fraud. The substance of the charge just investigated is, that Mr. Dwight did, in an answer put in in a certain euit brought against him and wife by Brown, Brothers & Co., to foreclose a mortgage on their homestead at Barrytown, wilfully and corruptly swear, “on information and belief,” in the usual form, as a part of his defence in that suit, that the Browns bad for a long time desired to get possession of the railroad for the purpose of securing debts due them therefrom, and to that end had induced one Hamilton Spencer to procure a lease of the road and as sign the same to them. It is alleged by the prosecution, which is conducted by Oakey Hall, that Mr. Dwight knew this to be untrue; that it was he himself who induced Spencer to get the lease, and that his motive in charging this fraudulent conduct, as Mr. Hall describes it, to the Browns was revenge, because Stewart Brown surrendered Mr. Dwight into the hands cf the Sheriff at a time when he was his bail in a case of debt, and that Mr. Dwight was incar- cerated in Eldridge street jail The defence set up by Mr. Stoughton is that the matter to which exception is taken by the Browns is not material to the pleadings, and therefore does not constitate perjury in law; that it was sworn to on information and belief, in the ordinary legal mode in defending a suit in « court of justice, and that it cannot be shown that Dwight knew it to be false; that the wit- nesses for the prosecution have proved it to be true, for the Mesers. Brown, whether they desired to procure the control of the road or not, did actually get possession of it; that the Spencer lease was drawn up by their lawyer, Mr. Potter, at Stewart Brown’s direction, and the assignment of it made in the same way; that the lease is not fraudalent, having been adjudi- cated upon by the Supreme Court of Illinois, and declared valid; that the answer was drawn up for Mr. Dwight by « lawyer in such 8 condi- tion of mind as to border on insanity—as admit. ted by himself—the drawing of the answer post- poned until the very last day when it could be served in the cause on which Dwight’s home and property depended, and signed in great haste, Dwight himself remonstrating with his then incompetent attorney against the very paragraph alleged to be perjury, The defence farther sets up in reply to the charge of malice, that on the first opportanity Mr. Dwight caused that answer to be withdrawn and an amended an- ewer put in, without this paragraph chargiug the Browns with an ect which he feared might be deemed dishonorable. Such are the facts as claimed on both sides, upon which we desire to make no comments, further than to remark that we fear many such cases of wilful and corrupt perjury pass under the eyes of our lawyers every day, in defending euite in our courts, without attracting much at- tention. The examination has ably con- ducted by counsel on both sides, and we have no doubt that the Judge who is to pass upon the testimony will not fail to de even-handed justice in the matter. Many interesting facts in the management of railroads were developed during the examination of this charge, but they are nothing to what may be anticipated from the others. Conrmven Dect iv Taape.—The importa- tion of foreign goods continues to decline. During the month of May just ended, the total importations at this port were only eleven mil- lions and a half, against eighteen and three- quarters during May, 1857, and eighteen anda half in May, 56, The imports for the year thus far, compare as follows with the two last years:— inctud! for Sanaeey to May (talento) 1806". stent Seo td ASE Do. 00., 1857 ..++. 105,500,501 Bo. do., 1868... ik 61,668,193 In other words, we have taken less than half as much foreign merchandise this year as last. Our exports compare as follows:— Do. do, 1868... Altogether the prospect is that by the month of August or September we shall have a pretty lively trade springing up, as people must be clothed, and prosecute their trades, and as the country must be getting bare of goods. The reduction of fifty percent in our imports is a grand eign. If we could keep up the reduction to this rate for some years, this would become the banking centre of the world. Tue Centra Parx.—Several days have now elapsed eince Mr. Dillon’s amendments to thé accepted design for the Central Park have been presented to the Commissioners, and we would like to know what they are going to do with them. The public, who own the park, and who have the most vital interest in its proper and speedy completion, are by adecree of the Com- missioners kept entirely in the dark as to their proceedings. Sitting as they do with closed doors, excluding the reporters and conducting their business generally in the dark lantern fashion, nobody knows what they intend to do except themselves. That they have done very little up tothis time except providing for the political friends of the majority, and pipe-laying for the next election, every one is aware. We have before expressed our views on the amendments suggested by Mr. Commissioner Dillon. They are precisely what are required; and we repeat, if they are not adopted a great public injustice will be done. Meanwhile much valuable time is being frittered away in the po- litical dodging of this secret council, and the people, we opine, will have to wait a long time for their park. THE LATEST NEWS. ‘The News from Utah, Wasmuscton, June 4, 1868. ‘The Secretary of War to-day received a telegraphic Gespatch from General Harney, dated Leavenworth, in which he says the express has arrtved, and reports Gov.
