Interesting letters from our correspondent at Camp Scott, containing intelligence down to 12th uit., are published in to-day's paper. Onur Australian files, dated at Sydney 11th, and Melbourne 15th of April, contain some very inter- esting news, The eight mutineers of the American whaling ship Junior were still in prison at Sydney, awaiting shipment to the United States by our Gon- sul. An advertisement for guards te accompany them to this country appears in the local papers. The crew of the American ship Tornado mutinied on the passage from Liverpool to Melbourne, when three of the men were shot by the second officer, one of whom died of his wounds. Consul Tarleton in- vestigated the matter, and caused the arrest of eight of the sailors previous to their deportation to the United States. The Legislature of Melbourne had taken the subject into consideration, and mem- hers were disposed to question Mr. Tarle- fon's jurisdiction, inasmuch as the ship was chartered by the British government when the alleged offences were committed, and that the men were British subjects and could not be ar- rested on British territory by a foreign official. Cap- tain McGilvray, of the American ship Wellflect, was on trial before the Williamstown Police Court for a breach of the emigration act, in illegally diminishing the number of his crew after the muster of all banfs. The mortality of infants in Melbourne @aring the spring and summer months has become s0 excessive as to cause serious alarm regarding the future growth of a native population. The Melbourne markets were overstocked with imported goods. Advices from Turks Islands of the 19th ultimo, re. port two hundred thousand bushels of salt on bifad. Price nine cents. By the schooner Seaman, from St. Ann’s Bay, we have Kingston dates of the Lith Jane, The papers fare quite bare of interest. A smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Kingston on the morning of the 16th, immediately succeeding an intensely hot day and tremendous falls of rain. Nodamage seems | to have resulted. Schooner Kerr, from New York, arrived at Falmouth on Ith. ‘The Council called to review the recent act of the First Baptist church of Williamsburg, in expelling Judge Culver from that body upon charges of adul- tery, disorderly conduct, Xc., met yesterday at Trenor's Academy, South Eighth street, Witliams- burg. Seventeen delegates, representing fourteen charches out of eighteen invited, were represented, fogether with a large assemblage of church mem- bers and a number of ladies. Judge Culver made a lengthened statement of the facts of the case, and read evidence refuting the charges. Gov. Driggs, of Massachusetts; Gov. Ryland Fletcher, of Vermont, and other gentlemen addressed the Council. The proceedings commenced at two o'clock and did not conclude until 12 P.M. The committee appointed to report, passed a resolution to the effect that from the evidence produced before the Council nothing appeared against the Christian character of Judge Culver or of Mrs. Mary C. Brown that should deter or prevent any other Baptist church from receiving er holding fellowship with them, notwithstanding their expulsion from the First Baptist church of Williamsburg; and that Judge Baker, of Buffalo, Governor Fletcher, of Vermont, and Governor Briggs, of Massachusetts, should prepare a report of the evi dence before, and the proceedings and result of the Council. We continue the publication of our report of the coremonies and festivities at Richmond, Va., on the occasion of the reinterment of the remains of Presi- dent Monroe and the reception of the Seventh Regi- ment and the civil escort from New York by the mititary and civic authorities. The joint Committee of the Common Council arrived in Washington yes terday, and the Seventh Regiment will probably reach there to-day. Capt. de Riveire, the alleged abductor, of Blount, is still at the Napoleon Hotel, fobok the custody of two officers of the Hoboken police. ‘We give elsewhere the particulars of an interview “our reporter had yesterday with de Riviere and Mra. Biount, containing their views in regard to the aMair, also letters of Miss Blount to the captain. At a meeting of the Board of Edacation last eve- ning, $12,942 was appropriated for a new building for primary school No. 49, in the Ninth ward ; $2,743 for furnishing and painting schoolhouse No.7, ‘and $1,336 for farnishing schoolhouse No. 15. The question of reading portions of Scripture in the public schools was again brought up, when the matter was referred to the Committee on By-laws. ‘The Excise Commissioners held a meeting yester day, at which two applications for innkeeper’s li- Censes were presented. Both applications were grant ed on the payment of $30, and the Board adjourned for one day. ‘The Grand Jury of the Court of Sessions was em pannelled yesterday, and were briefly instrncted in their duties by Judge Russell. A few unimportant @anes were disposed of, and on motion of Mr. Lar rowe, the trial of Leroy Rascher, for murder, was bet down for Friday The Commissioners of Emigration met at the Worth street office at three o'clock yesterday. A return of emigrants arriving at Castle Garden from the Ist to the 90th of June, inclusive, was laid before Bhe Board. It showed that forty-one vessels had arrived from Europe, bringing a total of passengers Of all classes, bondable and not liable to bond, of 9,790. The usual weekly return of emigrants ar rived was also presented, and the Board soon after adjourned. The Commissioners of Health met at noon yester. day, his Honor the Mayor presiding. The porte of Ponce and Cienfuegos were declared to be infected ports, and it was resolved that all vessels arriving with hides shall be compelled to lay in the stream wontil their cargoes are examined and a permit given before they are allowed to discharge, after which the Board adjourned. The Board of Ten Governors met on Tuesday evening. A resolution for the fixing of the rates of wages to the masons employed on the Island Hospi tal wae agreed to. It was also resolved that the ( ommittee on Island Hospital be instructed to make ertangementa for laying the corer stone of that | jestitution oa the 16th inst, when the Mayor and | Common Councilsrill be present, and the Preaident will deliver an appropriate address, “The weekly statement was presented, and some matters of minor importance disposed of, and the Board adjourned over for @ fortnight. ' The constituents of Elijah Ward honored his return from Congreasfto thia city by a brilliant sere- nade last ¢ He delivered an eloquent address on the * which was received with the greatest enthusiasm. A report of the proceedings will be found in another columa. The receipts of beef cattle at the various yards daring the past week amounted to 2,974 head, an increase of 233 head as compared with the rev ceipts of the week previous. At the market yester- day the demand was fair, and prices advanced half a cent per pound, the quotations being 7§c. 9 9}c., ac- cording to quality. Milch cows continued dull at $20 a $65. Veal calves improved a trifle. Prices ranged at 4c. a6}. Owing to heavy receipts sheep and lambs were more depressed in price, $4 75 being the average, while $3 a $8 are given asthe extreme quotations, Swine were moderately active, at a slight advance in rates. The receipts continue heavy. The sales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,200 bales, closing steady at aboud 123,06. for middling up- lands. Flour was steady, with a fair amount of sales to the domestic trade, including eome purchases for export, Tho sales of wheat embraced about 30,000 bushels, at Prices gives in another column, Included ix tho transac: (ions were new North Carciina red at $1 20,a0d new white do. at $1 40. Corn was steady and in good de mand, while prices were without change of importsace: Rye sold at 69%¢c.a70c. Pork was more active aod firmer, with sales of meas at $16 60 a $16 60, and of prime at $13 £0 a $13 63. Beef and lard were also firmer and in good request. Sugars continue firm, with sales of 800 » 900 hhds. and 75 boxes, at rates given in another Place. Coffee was quiet, as dealers are waiting for the Pablic sale of Santos to come off to-day. ‘Freights were quite steady, while engagements were moderate. The political parties of the country, in refer- ence to 1860, are, at this juncture, in a most glorious state of demoralization, disintegration, doubt, uncertainty and confusion. Hence the party managers and pipe-layers, of high and low degree, bave all lost their reckonings, and know not whither they are drifting; and hence there is a prospect that, in regard to Mr- Buchanan's successor, the masses of the peo- ple, who are not the slaves of any party or party junta, will hold the election in their hands. We are, in this view, decidedly in favor of a free election; or, if you please, a scrub race. And why? Because our nominating party con- ventions have degenerated into the most corrupt aseemblages of trading party hacks, loafers, and spoils gamblers in the civilized world; because these conventions are in the power of faithless and treacherous demagogues; because their nominations are the mere bargains of spoilsmen for the spoils; because they usurp the rights of the people, and reduce the great principle of popular suffrage to a mere mock- ery; and because, where they nominate one man of the capacity of Mr. Buchanan, they set up two or three of the calibre of poor Pierce. Take, for example, the three party conyen- tions of 1856, Excepting the Tyler Baltimore Convention of 1844, was there ever a more ridi- culous astemblage of broken down political hucksters and camp followers than that at Phi- ladelphia, which eplit to pieces upon the slavery questien, leaving the Seuthern seceders the duty of pominating Mr. Fillmore as their national candidate. The spoils jugglers at Cincinnati were more harmonious; vut wicir parmony, and their candidate and their platform were forced upon them, and they had no other alternative of escape. The same may be said of the Seward aud McLean managers at the Philadelphia Re- publican Convention. Fremont was not their man; they were compelled to take him by the pressure of public opinion. But the Seward ecene ebifters, though they could not arrest Fremont’s nomination, still had the power to defeat his election, and they did it. Again, the Fillmore and Webster managers of 1852 were active participants in the Whig Convention which nominated General Scott; but where were they in the election? The Van Boren delegates and drummers were at hand at Baltimore in 1848; but how fared the nomina- tion of General Cass at their hands? The old whig stagers at Philadelphia in 1848 found it hard to relinquish their favorite, but, after dropping their first choice, what would have been the fate of General Taylor but for the unexampled magnanimity of Henry Cloy’ A single word from him would have demolisbed old Lough and Ready much more effectually than General Cass was de- molished by the defection of Van Buren. It was thus only the magnanimity of Clay that prevented the election of 1848 from being a eerub race all round. In fact, since the full developement of these spoils gambling concerns, called nations! conventions, with Martin Van Buren’s first nomination, the evils which have grown with their growth and-strengthened with their strength have been party demoralization, the rascality of cliques and tndividuals, official looseness and official corruption in every shape and form. Such are the evils which, originat- ing with these national conventions, have come down to the bruisers of Tammany Hall and the gallows birds of our primary elections. We should like to see this whole system of party ruffianiem, jugglery and roguery broken up, under which the free suffrages of the peo- ple have been usurped and are controlled by this or that set of political pawnbrokers, usurers, lazy loafers, old hacks and confidence men; and we should like, of all things, to have once more a free Presidential election by the people. We have said that the dismantled and demoralized condition of our existing political parties opens up a fine prospect for such an election in 1860; but still we see that, while all sections, factions, and cliques and leaders of the democracy have their eyes fixed upon their next National Convention at Charleston, the republi- cans and the rump of the Know Nothings are as firmly impressed with the notion that they can only secure their candidate and their prin- ciples through the paltry devices and pipe- layers of a National Convention. In this connection the present movements of the Crittenden Koow Nothing managers on the one hand, and of the Seward republican wire- workers on the other, though only partially dis- cloved upon the eurface, are very amusing. Crittenden thus fur appears to have the inside track by all odds; but let his friends look sharp, or when least expected they may ftnd him Isid out by the Seward eappers and miners as cold as they have laid out Mr. Douglas. With regard to the democracy, as their three last candidates— Cass, Pierce and Buchanan —were all from the North, their national convention nomination will, in all probability, in 1460, be a Southern man From this view we may, perhaps, explain the Northern exposure upon Kaneas of Gov. Wise ; for next to “a Northern man with Southern prin- ciples,” a Southern man with a good Northern exposure will be found available, Upon the same NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1858.- theory hostility of the Southern ult pris ited peace with Wiee and hsnext flead, Me we oan readily understand ‘the intense November, however, will have an oppor- tanity for the rectifloation of thia great mistake of regularly thrusting the judges of the law The game of the fireeaters is to keep open | into the dirty arema of party politics by the this breach im the ranks; for thus they will | time they are warm in their seats; and we bope increase their chances of controlling the Charles- toa nomination. They will certainly have it all their own way when the casting Presidential vote of a Northern State or two shall with them bave ceased to be an object. In any event, as tbe fire-eating managers hold the whip-hand over the democracy in the South, they will pro- bably, under the two-thirds rule, hold the ba- lance of power in the convention; but, to “make aseurance doubly sure,” their present. policy is to purge the party of all such aspiring Kansas heretics as Wise and Dougias. That the fire-eaters will fail in this enterprise we bave every reason to believe; but we can- not determine their ultimate course for 1860 short of some new “aggression” apon Southern righta. It is enough now to know in behalf of the democracy that very little reliance can be piaced upoa these Southern ultras in reference to the Charleston Convention; and enough to know, in regard to the republicans and the | Kuow Nothings, that no movement, nor has.any man been broached by the managers of either side competent to unite the two parties, North aad South. We cubnmtit, therefore, that the very best plan for every aspirant for the Presidency, of every party, is to try his chances directly before the people, wholly regardless of any national party convention. Thus the people will be given an increased number of chances for a good President, in the increased number of chances before them; thus all the existing corrupt and rotten machinery of party spoilsmen, loafers and gamblers, caucuses and conventions, will be demolished, and a free election will be se- cured. To be'sure, the result of such a con- test will, most probably, be the casting the election into the House of Representatives ; but in that body there is some responsibility, and there, from the three highest candidates from the people, we may anticipate a choice which will illustrate a proper estimate of this responsibility. Finally, it is the duty of the people, above all things, to repel and repudiate this absurd and insulting idea that they, of any party, are not competent to choose their own Presidential ticket, but that it must be thrust upon them by the decree of a pack of irresponsible spoils- men, loafers and hucksters, in the shape of a National Convention. Taxrarers anv “Tax Earners.”—Elsewhere we give place to a communication of a “Tax Earner ”—the meaning of which title is not very clear, unless it be a contractor who de~ vours the taxes—with reference to the inde- pendent taxpayers’ party. The writer is a little at fault as to who the taxpayers are; and if he will take the trouble to look over the tax list, he will find that the bulls and bears af Wall etreet are not in a majority there, and that the “ office holders who have fattened themselves on frand and perjury” make but a very miserable representation indeed. We have demonstrated before now that but a very small moiety of the office holdersin this city pay taxes at all; and we have pronounced the system of giving the | wuteel vf suc puuuc moneys to a set of men who contribute nothing to the expenses of the city, and have no stake in it, as unwise and mischievous. As the best evidence of this, look at the way they have been acting. They have been plundering the treasury without mercy for the last ten years, anti] the weight of tax- | ation has become unendurable. The tax levy for this year is very nearly sixteen dollars on the thousand. Up to the | present date eight millions and a half have | been drawn for the expenses of the city. Be- fore the year is out it will be nine millions; next year it will be ten, and the next probably twelve, and so on. This ix very pleasant, no doubt, for the “tax earners,” the contractors, surveyors, inspectors, office holders and corrupt politicians generally, who have the handling, but not the paying, of the money; but it is something that the taxpayers should not, and will not, submit to. They see the remedy in our suggestion of an independent party ; and if they do not adopt it they deserve to bo ewindled—that’s all. Messrs. Cusutsa any Croats ano THe How. Massa Grexiey.—The patriotic and conserva- tive Fourth of July orations of Mr. Choate in Boston, and of Mr. Cushing in thie city, par- tioularly the sharp and well directed shots of the latter at the anti-slavery demagogues and fanatics of the day, have warmed up the wrath of the Hon. Massa Greeley to the boiling‘point. He cannot, for the life of him, comprehend how those old Massachusetts whigs, at this time of day, should be anything elee than the blackest of black republicans, dyed in the wool (free wool), except upon the principle that they have counted upon a better market among the de- mocracy. Well, whatever may have been the causes which induced these men to join the de- mocracy, we have no doubt that their services at the right time will be remembered. Thus, we should not be surprised if General Cushing were to turn up a prominent figure on the poli- tical chess board of 1860; and as for Mr. Choate, a little more abuse from our anti- slavery disorganizere will bring him also into a very good position. In this respect, the bold defiance of Cushing is much more to the pur- pose than the generous forbearance of Choate. The man who can draw upon himself the hot- test fire of the nigger worshippers is most apt to be the Incest of politicians. ‘Tak State Procrine Qvestion—Tue Annas Scrremn Court on Bora Sipes or tae Fryer. According to the reports received, the Supreme Court at Albany, in the matter of the State printing, has refused the injunction asked for by Thurlow Weed & Oo., of the Albany Journal, to restrain the publishers of the Argy»-Adasfrom the execution of the State printing; but at the some time the Court has decreed that to the Journal Yegally belongs the office of State printer. According to this double faced decision both parties are authorized to fill the office in dispute, and the result will probably be snother Conover and Devlin operation upon the public treasury. ‘Thoee and other decisions of our courts, high and low, apon great aud emall issues, during the last two or three years, have given uaa world of instruction upon the foflics aud mischievous consequences of an elective judieiary for limited terms of office. Our cougis and judges have thus been placed under the watchful guardian ship of political cliques and the managers and bruisers of our primary clections; so that we may now eay, without much exaggeration, that sa impartial and independent elective judge has become aa exeoption to the gene tal gue. The people of the State, ia" partioutar, this opportunity for « wholesome reform will not be thrown away. Let the people, by o strong vote, demand a new constitution; and then, in the election of delegates, let the friends of law and order follow the great saving prin- ciple of the judicial tenure of office lsid down in the Constitution of the United States, and our courts will be brought back to the good old system of an independent administration of jus- tice. Otherwise, the decisions of our courts upon civil and criminal cases, more or less, will continue to be perverted or paralyzed by the preesare of party expediencies and election ruffiens, Yacuts ano Yacutwe.—Since tho great race around Long Island, which created so much ex- citement, the squadron has been scattered here and there, up the river or in the Sound, the own- ers of the yachts celebrating the Fourth of July in-the-usual manner, Many of them are’ now off upon pleasure oruises, andin. this way will pass the time until the beginning of August, when there will be a general rendecvous at Threg’s Neck, for a cruise down the Sound to New London, Newport, New Bedford, «c., &. The midsummer race is appointed to come off early in August, at New Bedford, which has been of late years chosen as tho racing ground. It would be much better, how- ever, to make the starting point at Newport, the yachts to sail around Biock Island. This race could be easily sailed in one day, and it would be much more exciting than @ contest in the harbor of New Bedford. In ad- dition to these facts there is the further recom- mendation for Newport that the first of August is the height of the season, and the yachtsmen would be warmly welcomed by the society then gathered at the chief seaside resort. Later in the season there should be an ocean yacht race down to Cape May and back—a splendid course for the display of all the best qualities of the yachts, speed and seaworthiness. The tworaces which we have named would settle all dis- puted points. Block Island is just a conve- nient distance from Newpert, and there the yachts will almost always find a breeze anda heavy sea. Down to Cape May ‘there is a fine stretch of Atlantic coast and plenty of sea room. In this race there would be a fine chance for a display of seamanship and some excitement, The contests in the harbor of New Bedford or around the Soathwest Spit in our lower bay, are of the dullest kind-—in fact they are not races in any sense of the word. The New York Yacht Club should do something novel, bold and original. Now is the time to commence a new era in the yachting history of America. Pus, Doc.—Cvurious Sraristics—We find in the Mississippian the following table of “pub. docs.” and speeches franked by Senators, North and South, during the first five months of the late seesion of Congress: The different items in this list are very sug- gestive. First, it will be seen that the docu- ments sent out by the free State Senators are in the proportion of nearly six to one a, those distributed by the slave State Senators. We may charge this disparity, first, to the comparstively emal! white population of the Southern States; and, secondly, to the fact that in the South they manage their political af- fairs more extensively by word of mouth and from the stump than by printed speeches and documente. Of the Northern Senatore, Mr. Douglas, with his 198,000 documents, o., beate, by a long odds, every other Northern man, or all the Southern Senators combined. That Kansas- Nebraska bill has made him a working man, and no mistake; for he who is working upon an issue of life or death is an earnest worker. Next to Douglas stands Mr. Bright, of Indiana, with his 100,000 documents and speeches; and the reason is that Bright, for Lecompton, has about as hard a battle to fight to keep his head above water as has Douglas, aati-Lecompton. Mr. Seward comes next, with bis 63,750 speeches and documents; and we have no doubt he bas distributed them overf very wide arca. The smallest accounts on the Northern list are those of Afien, of Rhode Island, and Jones, of lown—the former at 500 and the lat- ter at 880 franks of printed matter; and the reason for this marked economy in the labor of franking may be set down to the fact that bod, there gentlemen have been placed upon the re- tired list by thelr constituents. The same may be said of Gen. Houston, who has heretofore been an industrious man with his documents, Altogether, the table in gjuestion is a funny thing, and is full of instructive contrasts and comparisons. Where ts tae Cevrnat Park '—It is now several months since the plan for the Central Park has been selected, and we would like to know how much has been done towards laying it out, besides building » wall and breaking stone. Clearly the first thing to be done is to lay out a waik for pedceffians, & ride for eques- trian excercise, and @ carriage drive, These are the carlicet practical purposes to which the Park would be put; and these works could be made available ina month if all the force of labor at the disposal of the managers was put upon them. The ornamental part—the fancy lakes, oaecades and groves—of course will take time to complete, but the park might be put to some useful purpose in a very short time by proper management. If theee roads were made people would soon flook there to avail themselves of them. A good carriage drive is absolutely necessary in New York at present, and we would impress upon the Commissioners their obvious duty ia this Let the poople have a smootd road around the park for driving, and a premenade to pao oe where they cam eojoy the fine sir eweeps across that section of the island from river to river, and the arboretum, artificial water falls, ckating ponda, parade grounds and kiosks can be constructed afterwards. Summer Resorrs.—The seazon at the fashioa- able watering piaces promises to be short, and not over sweet for the hotel keepera. In ad- dition to the fact that the financial revulsion of last year has made it requisite that almost every merohant should practice economy, there is the further circumstance, that within a few years the extension of railways and other facilities of travel has opened up new places of health and pleasure within a more convenient distance of the metropolis than Cape May, Saratoga or Newport. All along the Lines of the chief rail- ways one can find a quiet, pleasant retreat, within an hour’s ride of the city proper; and the shores of the Sound and the East river are dotted with landing places for steamboats, which -ply-at proper. hours, 0 that- business men -may really reside in the country and attend to their effairs in town as. usual. When one can enjoy the eame ioxuries at Shrewsbury, Glen Cove or ‘Islip, a8'at Newport, at less expense of time and smoney, it is patent that Newport must go to the wall. As for Saratoga, the difficulty of getting decent apartments, the extortions of the ser- vants, and ‘the impertinence of most of the ta- vern keepers, with their exorbitant charges, has driven away many people. It is ascertained that New York is almost as prolific in mineral springs as is Germany. The railways have brought as many’ds thirty spas within a day’s ride of this city, and there can be found this year at Sharon, Chittenango, Richfield, Avon, Columbia or Clif- ton, many of the old habitués of Congress Park. Not that the fashionable places will fail to keep the lead, and to attract the floating tourists, but quiet people, who live within their means, will choose some more quiet resorts. There are plenty of them; the only difficulty is in knowing which to choose. The usual rule at Saratoga and Newport has been that the public was patronized by being allowed to sleep in bad apartments and to eat bad dinners, The public has begun to grow sceptical on this point, and to feel inclined to demand something for ita money. Let the hotel keepers take heed in time and reform the abuses in their system at once and altogether. Just now the emigration to the smaller summer reeorts is heavy, while the fashionable places are almost deserted. THE LATEST NEWS. THE ATLANTIC CABLE. No News of the Fleet.
