Our English cousins seem just now to be full of fight, and the San Juan difficulty on one side, and the “oattle of Taku on the other, are sub- jects of comment in very nearly similar terms by the British journals. The United States and the empire of China are both to be brought to strict account by these pen-wranglers, According to the London Post, Lord Palmers- ton’s mouthpiece, England must assail the whole empire of China and storm the capital; and if the Cabinet at Washington does not at once disavow the acts of General Harney, the British government will take immediate and effectual means to vindicate its right to the ter- ritory in question. This is all very well for the London Post, but it is quite another question for England. Shecaught a Tartar at the mouth of the Peiho, and if she chooses she can try her hand at catching another in Puget Sound. Pur- suing her usual policy, she insists that the Chinese Tartar was no Tartar at all, but a Russian; just as, in the last war with us, she was always insisting that it was not Yan- kee, but English sailors that enabled the Ame- Tican ships so constantly to capture the British ones. Now the Chinese can fight their own battles, as Admiral Hope’s report very clearly shows, { whether they do it with eightinch guns or Mandarin diplomacy. But we hope the Cabi- net at Washington will do nosuch thing as disavowing the act of the gallant Harney. If England wants war with us, she can have it to her heart’s content. We will give her a cotton war or asaltpetre and iron one, just as she may choose. If she does not want to go in for the hard hits from the young giant of the-West, we will refrain from hurting her feelings in that way, and wage the battle after a different manner. To oblige her, we not only will keep eur war ships at home, but our cotton ones too. We will makemore machinery, and work up the two millions of bales of cotton that we now send her yearly into yarns and cloths for the rest of the world. We can do it with ease.

Each of these hitherto victimized subordinates, asserted, for once, the right of serving the democratic party in his own way. Fraudulent vouchers of for- mer years; the fact of a prominent Tammany democrat having once paid off a private mort- gage with money given him for electioneering purposes; and the universal discontent which prevails at the course pursued at Syracuse, are ubundant reasons for the refusals that have been given, and they will be countenanced by the superior officers who are responsible to the government at Washington, ‘Tammany will have to take the benefit of some extended bankrupt act.

Inpian Summer Yacurine.—The progress of yachting in this country has been made appa- rent in the increased number and variety of the matches, contests and cruives which have taken place withinthe pasttwo years. Under the old régime the yachting season was confined to tho months of June, July and August; but as Octo- ber affords a fortnight of the most delightful weather for outdoor sports of all kinds, the yacht proprietors have resolved to take advan- tage of it, and are now enjoying a fall meeting at City Island, where the vessels bearing the flag of the New York Yacht Club were directed to rendezvous on yesterday. To-day and the remainder of the week will be devoted to cruis- ing and competition. The cruises will be brief, and the yachts will return to City Island every evening, so that the proprietors can come up to town in the morning and rejoin their yachts on the afternoon of thesame day. This cruise will be distinguished by several races, and among them one between the Maria and the Rebecca. The yachts will cruise down theSound, near the newly discovered oyster bed which has so stir- red up the natives all along the New York and Connecticut shores, and the jourméts of the Club will have an opportunity to report upon’ the quality of the newly found bivalynlar de- posits from actual experience on the spot. With the yacht fleet and the oyster squadron to- gether, the waters of the Sound will present the most animated and beautiful marine tableau that can be imagined. There are, in addition to the Yacht Club proper, a number of other associations of gentlemen for a similar plan and for similar purposes. - Among tham ia the Hoboken Model Yacht Club, which numbers among its best vessels one owned by Mr. Frank Leslie, proprietor of the Illustrated News. There is also a club at Harlem, and a large number of yachts of various sizes, suited to the means and requirements of their owners, and not enrolled in any club. If all these could be joined together for a rendezvous with the parent Club, it would be a fine show of mo- dels for the public information, and cultivate that friendly spirit and good feeling for which yachting men all over the world are so justly celebrated. Tne Maroratrr Execrioy.—There is more fuss and noise &bout the election to the Mayor- alty than about the State election or any other. The reason is, that Fernando Wood isa demo- cratic candidate, whether the democratic organi- zations will or not. He is an independent can- didate. We rather like this movement of his; and it would be a very good thing if other can- didates would follow his example. We would thus get rid of the primary nuisances, and have afar better chance of getting good offi- cers than by the present corrupt system. The republican pressis very anxious to sup- ply a candidate for Tammany Hall. Now, we in return would suggest the names of three candidates for the republicans. First, there is Horace Greeley, who has been already in pub- lic life—a member of Congress, in which he learned to say “aye” and “no,” and spinayarn about mileage, and be has been for twenty years the head and front of the anti-slavery movement. He would be a good man for the party, and would gather around him the debris of all the isms, from Fourierism to spiritual- ism. Why not put him on the slate? Then, there is Booby Brooks, who has be- longed to all parties in turn, and is now without @ party, and in search of one. He would do very well for an independent republican candi- date. He, too, has been in office—a member of the State Legislature, in which he made some speeches to Buncombe. He might possi- bly take with him the rag-tag and bobtail of the rump of Americanism. And last and least, there is Raymond, another quondam official, known in the voodbulary of the Tribune as “the little villain.” It is true he is as tricky as the “little joker” under the three cups, and when you think you have him, you were never more mistaken. He is as slip- pery as an eel which glides through your fin- gers. He gave the slip most beautifully to the temperance folks. Yet he would make a very good canuidate for the republican party, for by securing him the nomination he would proba- bly be secured to the party, at least for a time. At present he is floating about without chart or compass. The republican nomination to the Mayoralty might possibly serve as an anchor to fix him. Otherwise he may drift among the rocks and shoals of democracy, or Heaven knows where. Here, then, are three journslists, all former officeholders and up to trap, who would serve the turn of the republicans; and we would sug- gest that to prevent jealousy the Nominating Convention should draw lots between them to determine which shall be the candidate, Or still better, why not do the fighting on their own hooks, and, throwing the rascally conventions overboard, put their heads together and draw lots to see who shall be the champion, and then let the fortunate individual go forth like Fer- nando Wood, untrammelled by hampering or- ganizations, and proclaim himself the indepen- dent republican candidate. After the State election Wood will probably come out with an address to the democracy. We do not see any reason for the choice of the republican trio we have just nominated waiting so long. Let a cau- cus be held instanter, and let the lots be drawn, and the address of the lucky dog be published immediately in the three journals, There ig nothing like taking time by the forelock. The New Filibuster Movement—Walker, His Destination and Destiny. The successful escape of Walker on another expedition against Nicaragua, or some other of the Central American States, has taken the public by surprise. Vague intimations, it is true, have been current for some time past at the South and West of a concentrated move. ment on the part of the great filibuster and his followers, but no one really supposed that the thrice-baffied adventurer could command either the men or the money for a new undertaking. The government officials, as well as the general public, seem to have regarded him as “ played out,” and, as faf as his position was to be esti- mated by ordinary and rational standards, he was “played out.” Too cold and selfish to command those warm attachments which often give brave and generous men a train of unfal- tering and devoted adherents; with no prestige except that of disastrous failure in all of his enterprises, it really is astonishing that he should be able to make any new and serious efforts in the direction of his former ex- ploits, Walker's only great quality, of which this last movement is but another proof, is an indomitable, and, to borrow a term from the latest political vocabulary, “irzepressiblo” persistence, or rather obstinacy. This always commands a certain degree of admiration, but rarely any great degree of confidence. We must look, therefore, to other motives, im- pulses or attractions than Walker himself can inspire in order to account for the successful getting up and departure of this new, and, as we fully believe it to be, disastrous expedition. That the imaginations of many young men, and the ardor of many of our adventurous and reckless spirits not over young, are greatly ex- cited by the prospect of a country of bound- less resources and inexhaustible wealth, and moreover occupying the finest geographical position in the world, lying at our very doors, is not surprising. The coolest and most con- servative among us cannot contemplate its fu- ture without a prophetic glow. We can readi- ly understand, therefore, that the spirit of well directed and earnest, as well as lawless and reckless adventure is, and must continue to be, directed towards Central America, until it is brought into new relations with the world, possibly under the dominance of a new race, and made to take the rank marked out by its geographical position and the variety and ex- tent of its resources. But we have no faith in Walker—less even than in the system of which he is the present exponent. Whatever may have been his oppor- tunities—and they were great—they have been lost. He once had it in his power, when in the undisputed control of the government of Nica- ragua, to have identified himself with the liberal sentiment and progressive spirit of Central America, and to have built up a party in the country itself which would have worked its rogeneration and commanded the respect and sympathies of the civilized world. But he chose to rely on the revelvers of a few hun- dred reckless followers—useful, perhaps, in tear- ing down dilapidated structures, but incapable of building up new ones—under the mistaken belief that with these, decimated every ninety days by rum and riot, he could hold in subjec- tion a population of two millions of people. Perhaps he has learned wisdom since Captain Davis “ plucked him as a brand from the burn- ing” at Rivas, but the evidence is wanting. The same defects of character and wantof judgment which have hitherto caused his failure will ruin him a fourth time, when there will be no Davis, not even a Paulding, to save him from the consequences of his folly. We believe Walker will fail now, not only from the causes which occasioned him to fail before, but also because he has greatly enhanced difficulties to encounter. Should he direct his course to San Juan del Norte, he may be fortunate enough to find the English and American vessels, which haye been watching that port for the last three years, absent on some cruise of health or exercise. The chances are ten to one that such is not the case. If any are lying there, they will cer- tainly prevent his landing. If not, they will almost as certainly return before he can effect a departure for the interior. And even if he should succeed in going up the river San Juan, it can scarcely be doubted that both the Eng- lish and American forces would consider them- selves justified in following him into the very heart of Nicaragua. We say nothing of the chances of his defeat in the country itself, where he would be thrown on his own re- sources, and compelled to depend on the men he may succeed in introducing, for it is ob- vious that no reserves would be permitted to join him. It has been suggested that he has proba- bly gone to Omoa, for which his sea com- mander, Maury, once started, but was fortunate ‘enough to be wrecked on the way, and sent home, with his followers, by the British Gover- nor of Belize. Should this be the case, he may possibly effect a landing. But he could not ven- ture into the interior without first reducing the Castle of San Fernando, the fortress of Omoa, and one of the strongest defences south of VeraCruz. Before this could be done, ad- mitting the assault to be in every way success- ful, the news of his landing must reach Belize, one hundred and eighteen miles distant, where a considerable British force, land and naval, is always kept up, ready to pounce down on his rear. But the mere posscasion of Omoa would effect nothing in the way of a reduction of, Honduras, still less of Nicaragua, from which he would practically be further distant than in New York itself. As for reaching Nicara- gua across Honduras, admitting that there were no opposition, the attempt would be simply impossible. The whole party would starve to death on the road—at least all who did not pre- viously die of exposure and fatigue. For a hundred and twenty miles, over the worst roads conceivable, there are scarcely any inhabitants, and even these are half of the time on the verge of starvation. Moreover, Gen. Guar- diola, an old enemy of Walker's, is the actual President of Honduras. Anelection is pending; he is a candidate; and to insure a perfectly free expression of opinion, he has just puta large body of troops under’ arms, more than sufficient to crush out and literally squelch, in a broken country like Honduras, any body of men Walker might be able to get into the in- terior. Similar objections lie against the hypothesis of his landing at Chiriqui lagoon, with a view ofat- tacking Costa Rica from the south. A vast tract of wild country intervenes between that point and the nearest Costa Rican settlement, which the best equipped and best supported expedi- tion would requize many weeks to traverse, to say nothing of the unfit condition it would af- terwards be in to encounter such a force as that State could concentrate against it, ‘Two other suggestions have been thrown out, viz:—That Walker has sailed either for Blew- fields, on the Mosquito shore, or for Tehuante- pec; in the former case, with the view of as- cending the Blewflelds river, which is said to be navigable up into the district of Chontales, and within forty miles of Lake Nicaragua ; and in the latter case to cross the Isthmus of Tehuan- tepec, and after effecting a junction with a cor- responding expedition from California, to pro- ceed down the Pacific coast to Guatemala, San Salvador, Nicaragua or Costa Rica, as circum- stances might warrant. As regards Blewfields, we doubt if the at- tempt will be made there. The British have generally some veesel of warat that point which would oppose a landing. And furthermore, to say nothing of the difficulties of getting up the river through a complete wilderness, itis more than likely that the British officers on the coast, always within easy call, would feel themselves justified in following the adventurers as intru- ders, if not of British soil, of territory under British protection. Whatever his follies, Walker 1s far too wise to put himself in a position to justify the open hostility of anew and over- whelmingly powerful enemy. We are therefore driven to belicve that if Walker has not taken the chances of slipping in at San Juan, he has directed his course to Tehuantepec. The Tehuantepec mail contract has expired; the works commenced there have been abandoned, leaving a number of boats and other materials of transport useless, and, what is of more consequence, a considerable number of disappointed adventurers and em- ployés out of money and work on the Isthmus, ready, from one motive or another, for any en- terprise, and just the kind of material for aug- menting Walker's force. With these, and the facilities on hand, there is no doubt he could force his way across to the Pacific in the face of any local opposition. But he will doubtless claim that he and his men are simple emigrants, bound for California, and are peaceably and lawfully making the transit. And in view of the numbers and equipments, it is most likely the Mexican authorities will accept the pre- tence, and allow them to go on without inter- ruption. This hypothesis involves the supposition that an expedition has sailed about this time from San Francisco to Tehuantepec, with men and further means of transport—a supposition very well warranted by the recent mysterious visit of Walker to California, and the long visits and reconnaissances of Natzmer and others of his leading adherents at Tehuantepec. Should this prove to be the case, and a steamer or other swift vessel bo on the Pacific side, ready to secure him, there is no doubt that Walker could come down on any of the Central Ameri- can States like a hawk, by surprise,and strike a sudden and powerful, if not effective blow. But the success of this arrangement will de- pend on its rapidity. Thesteamer which sailed yesterday will convey the news of his depar- ture to Panama, whence it will be rapidly spread up the coast by the Panama Railway Company's coasting steamers, which connect with this departure. In two weeks, or eighteen days at farthest, every State of Central Ame- Tica will have had warning and will be on its guard, prepared to give the expedition a warm reception. Ifhe has really gone by Tehuante- pec, Walker’s arrangements were defective, in- asmuch as they did not fix the day of starting just after the departure of the Panama steam- ers. Had that been the case, he would have had a clear start of a month. Asitis, his intend- ed victims will get the news of his movements as soon nearly, if not quite,as hecanreachthem himself under the most favorable circum- stances. His chances of success will diminish precisely as they happen to be forewarned. On the whole, therefore, and quite apart from Walker’s defects as a leader, we believe that circumstances and the chances are all against him, even to the small extent of effecting an entrance into either Nicaragua or Costa Rica. Should he do so hy a lucky accident or sudden dash, we doubt equally his ability to sustain himself or produce any serious impression. And it will be assuming a great deal to sup- pose that he will a fourth time escape the con- sequences of his rashness. Certainly no man of ordinary spirit would suffer himself to live to return a fourth time with bedraggled plumes, a luckless and disappointed adventurer. Per- haps we can wish him no better fate than that he may “die in the arms of victory.” A Lame np Imrorent Concrvston.—Tho Tribune of yesterday contained a leader, a col- umn and a half long, headed “The Party of Fraud,” and giving an account of all the ras- calities of the democracy for the last three or four years. There is much truth in its atate- ments, but some errors; for instance, that the Henavp is a “democratic organ.” The Hzratp never was party paper of any kind; it is inde- pendent, and means to continue so. According to the showing of the Tribune the two parties now contending for the ascendancy are too profligate and corrupt for any decent journalist to have anything to do with them. After giving a history of democratic corrup- tion and villany, the Tribune winds up with an extraordinary conclusion, of which the cap- tion of the article affords no indication. It says that bad as the rascals among the democracy are, there are worse to be found among the republicans, and that one of th being in an evenly balanced Board, soit himself and his party in the matter ofappointing the registrars, thus giving the preponderance to the democracy. “Among the twelve,” says the Tribune, “was a Judas, who has been bought and paid for as of old. The'parallel is complete, save that the oathsome villain has not yet had the grace to hang himself.” The vilest character in sacred history can only be the parallel of this repub- lican. “By his execrated connivance,” con- tinues the Tribune, “the frands of former years will be repeated this fatl.” We suppose this description, coming from an organ of republi- canism, must be correct, for tt isto be presumed that it best knows its own party, and speaks with intimate knowledge and from good autho- rity. Tims the Tribune sets out by asserting one thing and concludes by proving another. Its theme is the corruption of the democratic party, the beginning and middle of its article consist of a tissue of democratic frauds, but the end is « demonstration that republican frauds and bri- bery and corruption outstrip all that the demo- crats have ever accomplished in that way; in other words, that the republican party is en- titled to be called by pre-eminence “the party of fraud.” After that we have some hope of the Tribune becoming an honest journal at last cea ngs i SPR DE RE 22 oA SC: RR Ra aa mg a a SON nn a Ee Da meen RE SS LT TO TET LE TE I DOT Nar LE Ee CEE EE <A ES RN SNEED Data SE it Be ke ee dos epee eneennSyaee netbeans eens en —_ ‘Ts Mozapt Democracy First nv THE Frey. The thin coat of whitewash which @ batch if affidavits had managed to give to the Mozat people, on the charge of rowdyism amd violence, at Syracuse, seems in a fair way of being peeled off by their conduct at home, The Episcopal Convention, managed the case of Bishop» On- derdonk much better. Their very respec\‘able, absolution, was so respectably pronounced, in such a reapectable way, by so eminemfly respectable a body of the ex-prelato’s co-ne- ligionists, that the inconsisteney of Eplecopat Protestantiem gilding itself with Papal gold, ia most gracefully disguised. Mozart democracy” becomes brutal by the contrast. The cloven foot of corruption and self-interest, in the pro- ceedings of night betore last, must frightem away every respectable citizen, every stickler for the independence of the Judiciary, from a faction which could pursue the course which was dictated by the Mozart leaders, in their re- cent nominations. It involves all the prinoé- ples of demagogueism, rowdyism and shoulder- hitting-monopoly, which are most to be con- demned, and should be reprobated by every good citizen, There is not a civil Judge on the bench, either in the city of New York or elsewhere, who has adorned his position, been more uni- versally respected, and presented to the world a more brilliant reflex of the best days of American courts of justice, than Judge Roose- velt. The impartiality of his decisions has been acknowledged by friends and foes. He has been equally irreproachable in public and in private life. He is benevolent, kind hearted and upright, and his learning is disputed by no one. His reputation is not merely local—it extends throughout the land. Nota respectable, high- minded gentleman in the community, if appeal- ed to, would fail to say that he, of all other men, should have been solicited to retain the position he now holds, until the day of his death. Yet the very first action of the Mozart Hall democracy, after having received their thin coat of whitewash, with respect to matters at Syracuse, was to repudiate this good man and excellent Judge. And on what grounds? Upon the complaint of whom? Who are Judge Roosevelt’s ene- mies? Ilis enemies are confined to a few news- paper editors. The first of these is a man who was tried before Judge Roosevelt, for gross corruption, while acting os an alderman, and who only escaped conviction and the peni- tentiary by the skin of his teeth. The second has been under indictment for fraud, at Washington. The third is the notorious editor, who was the depositary of one thousand dol- lars for lobby purposes. These are the porse- cutors of one of the most eminent and incor- ruptible Judges in the State of New York. The pretext of their opposition—and they can find no otber—is that he claimed the full amount of his salary under a law of the State! Was there ever anything more infamous? And yet the demagogueism of Mozart democratic and rowdy misrule, kas hoped to make capital out of this limited hostility to Judge Roosevelt, of a few individuals whom it would not dare to endorse by name. The Mozart faction have nominated, also, in the place of the esteemed and honored Judge whose name we have mentioned, a wholly un- known individual. It is difficult to pick him out, even in the Directory. He has no public reputation, no available antecedents, and, how- ever reputable his private record may be, he can claim no support on the ground of services rendered to the State and city. His name is never heard in the same rank with our first lawyers, and to have placed him in competition with the present incumbent of the place he aspires to is not only a farce—it is the result of the wildest fanaticism of a brawling, selfish faction. Mozart Hall has begun badly—very badly. It has aimed a suicidal blow at its own reputation in doing what it has done, from which it cannot easily recover. While the Mozart democracy have thought to throw Judge Roosevelt overboard, they have re-nominated his colleague, Judge Daly, who ought to have been replaced by a better man. Asa clique, they have been doubly im- politic. They “have done those things which they ought not to have done, and have left undone thore things which they ought to have done, and there is no health’ in them. There is not a word to be said in favor of this first step which the Mozart democracy have taken. Tux State Exection—Tae Cacorr Ratirica- tion Mretixo aT ALBANY.—The meeting at Al- bany, called by Peter Cagger, chairman, and Clinton Cassidy, secretary, to ratify the doings of the rowdy convention at Syracuse, did not amount to much. The proceedings we pub- lished yesterday, and the only practical speech, the only one to the point, was that of Mr. Dix. It is true that it was just what we have been saying all alongin the Hera, and it contained nothing new; but it was up to the mark and germane to the matter in hand. It took the right view of the nature of the issue in the State election, and of its aspect upon the des- tinies of the country. The wandering, incoherent speech of Mr. Dickinson, on the contrary, missed the mark, which may be accounted for partly by the fact that he is a candidate for the Presidency, such aspirants being generally very unlucky in their speeches. A rival candidate for the distinc- tion, keeping quiet himself, could not ‘breathe @ more appropriate ejaculation than this:— “Oh, that mine enemy Would make a speech or write a letter!” Webster, Clay, Scott, Dong- las and Wise have been killed off by their speeches and letters. Dickinson, if there is any vitality in him, is likely to share the same fate. His speech at Albany deals in generali- ties wide of the question, and it is so interlarded with religion that onc would think the speaker missed his professsion, and ought to have been a parson. No doubt many of those to whom he addressed himself, including Conft- dence Cassidy, Cagger & Co., are sadly in need of religion; but he might as well have poured water on a duck’s back. They are proof against all religious influences, and the introduction of such topics was mal apropos. Perhaps he was anxious that pious Seymour, who went to the American Episcopal Convention ‘in Vir- ginia to cultivate the religious interest, should. not get the advantage of him. But mixing up religion with politics in his speeches is a hobby of Mr. Dickinson. The real candidate of the Regency was not present, becanse he did not wish to make a speech. More cunning than Dickingon, he feared he might say too little or too much. He thought the safer plan was tg keep in the back
