CORNER OF THIRTERNTH STREET AND FOURTH CALIFORNIA MENAGERIE. TRIPLE SHEET. New York, Monday, aert! 30, 1860, OUR BUSINESS. For the last two weeks we have found it neces sary to issue triple sheets of the New York Heaarp every day; and it is highly probable that, with a few occasional exceptions, we shall be obliged to continue them until after the religious anniver- saries are over. Never before, in the whole history of newspaper enterprise, bave so many papers been pridted in any one office, or such a vast number of advertisements been published daily in one news- paper in this country, within so brief a space of time. In the last two days alone we have issued from this establishment over two hundred thousand papers—the largest number ever issued within that period from-any office in the world. ‘These are facts which speak more than words of the material and intellectual developement of our city. fhe New York Horaid—Edition fer Earope. ‘The Oupard mai! steamship America, Capt.

From an enumeration of the six days’ work just completed by that body it will be apperent to all that very little headway has Dbeén made towards nominating @ candidate for the Presidency. This is owing in a great measure to the school of small fry politicians who have as- Sembled there, most of whom appear to be ab- sorbed in concocting measures for their own Oggrandizement, regardless of the great wante of the nation. A moltiplicity of platforms have been submitted upon which it is proposed the mew candidate shail stand; but none have as yet been accepted—on the contrary, mach controversy and acrimonious debate have taken place thereon, which promise from present ap- pesrances to result in a bolt in the Convention. ‘The vote on Saturday on the question of recom- mitting Mr. Beyard’s anti-squatter sovereignty reso- lutions shows very clearly that Douglas has not a majority, which fact has seriously disconcert- ed his friends. Mr. Barrows of Arkansas es- sayed to make a speech in favor of the majority report of the Committee on Platform, in which he dared the Northern men to reject it. This speecd was decidedly committal to the South, who, he said, bad always been the defender and practiser of democratic principles. He said Douglas was ao enemy to the South, and he would not support him eveu if be were uominated. In consequence of the great press of other matter our St. Domingo and Nicaragua correspondence, received by the Northern Light, sre crowded out of our pews columns. The news from either place is notimportant. Our San Juno del Norte correspon: dent suys the people of Nicaragua are still san. Byine that Commodore Vanderbilt will have his steamers once more plying on the lake and river The uews that President Mora had left Realejo to enter Costa Rica by force turns out to be antrue.

The open air preaching which has been started at the F ve Points bye few Christian individuals was continued yesterday, the Rev. Dr. Bethune of- ficiating. Thoug) the speaker was a well known and eloquent | reacher, the attendance was very emall, and very ‘ew o the inhabitants of the neigh- borbood could be induced to take part in the exer- cises. The shipjoiners of New York held a meeting in regard to an advance in their wages, at No. 70 avenue D, on Saturday evening last. After a dis- cussion of the subject, it was determined to “strike” on Monday, the 30th inst., unless their demands are previously complied with. ‘The cotton market was without animation on Saturday, while the sales wore confined to a few hundred bales, Gloatng without change of moment im quotations.

Now that we have partially recovered from the excitement caused by the fight for the championship, people will naturally be in- clined to look towards Charleston, where the fight for the Presidency has set ia with all its usual severity. ‘The Convention has already been in scssion one week, and has done just nothing at all to- wards accomplishing the objects for which it os‘ensibly came together. The time has been occupied in fruitless debate on the platform, and the making of speeches, such as new mem bers of Congress work off in Committee of the Whole. The democracy has not been lamb like at Charleston. The weather is hot, the hotel charges are excessive, and as the bills swell the temper of the delegates grows no sweeter. Consequently we are not surprised to hear of several personal rencontres on Fri- day and Saturday. No one was killed nor in- deed harmed, so far as we can ascertain. As to the platform matter the Convention has not advanced a step. After a very severe strug- gle, all the reports were semt back to the Committee of Resolutions, who worked them over again, split a hair here and another there, but could not agree upon either set. The whole matter having given rise to a very heated discussion, the Con- vention concluded to sleep and pray upon it, and adjourned till this morning, when, at ten o'clock, a vote will be taken upon the matter. The Convention now finds itself in the posi- tion of the asa between two bundles of hay. The committee has given the party too much of a good thing—two platforms at once. The truth about the matter is, that all the fuss that is made about the platform is bosh, gotten up to conceal the war that is going on between the friends of the rival candidates. The peo- ple of this country know very well what the distinctive principles of both parties are. They know that it has been the theory of the repub- lican party to present the question of slavery as the predominant issue in the canvass. The republicans have forced Mr. Seward’s irrepree- sible conflict doctrine upon the country, and upon that platform they must stand or fall. On the other hand, the democrats, through their public speakers and writers, assume entirely opposite grounds, and are too bappy to protect the South in al) its institutions, as guaranteed by the constitution. The people have to make their election between the republicans and the democrats upon this iseue. All the resolu- sions about the annexation of Cuba, the iron impost, the Pacific Railway, are stuff and non- seuse; they deceive nobody, and: the time for such unmeaning trash has gone by. All the bair-splitting over the plattorm is done by po- litical confidence men, who are endeavoring to gain time and favor some particular candidate. Many people think, from the row which the fire-eaters have kicked up, that there willbe a bolt, That, we believe, isan error. There is acertain class of political adventurers in the South who are always at the head of some tre- mendous movement for secession, or Dbolt- ing, or something of the sort. But the movement, somehow, never appears on the surface. The democracy will, in con- sideration of the spoils, become a happy family again. The sooner they stop speech-making and go to balloting, the better it will be for their nominees, who have still to appeal to a power bigher than any party convention. All that the democratic masses wact trom Charleston are the names of the candidates, Every man will fix his platform according to his own conscience, and the conduct of a hand- {nl of email politicisns , attempting to dictate a political creed for as many as two and half millions of democrats of every section in the couniry, and swayed by a thousand vaned preju- dices, affections and inclinations, is utterly ub- surd, jf not extremely impudent. Neither ‘he candidate nor the party cares sixpepce for the platform, whatever it may be. Tue CHarLeston CONVENTION AND THE On- SERVANCE OF THE SarbaTH.—It appears from our despatches from Charleston, that, after great excitement and a desperate struggle—which only fod a parallel in the recent international prize ight—tke Convention now sitting in that city edjourned on Saturday at ten o’clock until Oday (this morning), very much to the ratis- iaeGon of the Charleston people, who are very ‘ar trom desirons of seeing their city turned into a bear garden on the Sabbath day, by scenes of excitement ané contention which are very like- ty to end in unpleasant consequences. It is seriously to be hoped that yesterday's peaceful Sabbath, coupled with the quiet and religious stpect of a Southern city, and the instructive services of its numerous churches, will have a mollifying and beneficial influence on the minds of the delegates, so that when they reas somble at teu o'clock this moruing they may, without farther wrangling, be uble narae nionely to agree ons Common platform, if the, will have ono, and to select their canditus without trouble. Then jet them go home Parts Imvestigations—Washing the Nactopal Dirty Linem tm Congress. Acoording to a well informed Washington Correspondent, we bave not yet come to the end of the wonderful investigating committees which are raised by Congress with » great deal of facility, but not easily got rid of. The Co- vode Committee, we are told, will again sum- mon Robert J. Walker to the stand, and» they are believed to have evidence tending to prove the corruption of several members of the last Congress. So we may be prepared for more astonishing revelations in a few days, or 48 goon as tbe Charleston Convention is over. The investigations which bave attracted the attention of the country, and gained for the wodel republic s large number of left-handed compliments in foreign parts, have been made by two committees—one a eelect committes raieed on motion of Mr. John Covode, and the other a standing committee of the House, of ; which Mr. Haskin is chairman. The idea of the Investigating Committee for the mannfacture of p olitical capital is not new. The business is carried a little further now. That is the only difference. In the last Con- grees the democratic party were in the ascen- dant, and they, through investigating commit- teea, expored the corruptions in the republican party. They found a fine old bundle of dirty linen, among which was Matteson’s famous league of members who pledged themselves pot to vote for any bid unless they were paid for so doing; Thurlow Weed's five dollar speculation in free wool, and that mysterious Fort Des Moines draft which Greeley carried for eo long in his breeches pocket. Thus the demoorats exploited the corruptions of one of the great parties, but kept their own foul linen packed away out of sight. When the republi- cans gained control over the House, they im- mediately engineered the two committees we have alluded to above. They have succeeded, not only in proving that their opponents are corrupt, but that the republican party is getting worse than ever. They bave proved that both parties are utterly demoralized, and that our politicians are more corrupt than apy others on the face of the earth. The Haskin Committee confined its attention to the printing job, and had before it men like Wendell, Bowman, Defrees and Tom Ford. They testified to what everybody knew before, that the public printing waa a political job; that the printer charged fifty per cent overs tair price, and divided the profits among people who helped him to his place. Thus we bave no doubt that Wendell bought votes outright, and operated in Congressmen as he would in fancy stocks. Tom Ford, it appears, bas agreed to give a part of the pro- fits of the job this year, to help in the election of the republican candidate for the Presidency, and doubtless to assist in the return of those members who voted for him. A political edi- tor said in evidence that party papers were mis- erable property, unless they got subsidies from the government, and showed that they are mis- erable things, living from hand to mouth, and doing what they are told by the lobby, with- out a moment’s hesitation, and in mortal fear for their bread and butter. So it is all buying and selling, and intriguing and lying, and washing the dirty linen of dir- tier politicians and dirtiest parties, and bargain- ing and corruption of all kinds at Washington continually. ‘While the Haskin Committee was dealing with the small fry, poking its nose into ‘the printing flesbpots, and smacking its Itfa over, the savory odor which they gave out, the Covode Committee was flying at higher game. These philosophers obtained from the House a roving commission to inquire into the condition of the national linen, bigh and low, and they attained & degree of importance which the others could only sigh for a long way off, by obtaining the evidence of such exalted politicians as ex-Gover- nor Walker, of Kaneas, and others of the same elevated character. Then it was ascer- tained that all the chicanery and or- ruption was not confined to one depsrt- ment of the government. Then suspicion was thrown upon very high personages, and more dirty linen was washed before the world. It was 6 great time for the Covodes when they pointed to their immense wash. The dirty linen came from the top and the bottom, from Governors, and Senators, and Repre- sentatives, down to chevaliers like Tom Ford, All parties, al! branches of the govero- ment, were implicated; nor were the conatitn tional advisers of the President without an ac cuser. Curiously enough, however, the of- ficial persovage at whom the Covode resolution was especially levelled—the President of the United States—comes out of the affair with- out a stain upon his political or pri- vate character. Although surrounded by corrupt apd unscrupulous politicians, al! of whem were exerting themselves to hum bug, cheat and deceive bim, the President pursved the even tenor of his way, carrying on his part of the government calmly, quietly and conscientiously. The pure morality, high character and practical experience of Mr. Buchanan stood him in good stead during all the turmoil which be has parsed through. In some minor matters the President may have heen mo- mentarily deceived by those in whom, from their position, he was compeiied to place confidence. It would be remarkabie, with eo much lying and intriguing about him, if this hed not.bap- pened. But, if we examine the evidence ever so closely, we shall not find a tittle ofit which militates against Mr. Bucbanan in any “way whatecever. No better testimony conid be af- forded as to the prudence, esgucity, wisdom and purity of bis soministration than that which is ufforded by the investigations. of bis enemies. Tak Two Great Excrrements ov Te Day.— All New York was in a fever of excitement ou Saturday and yesterday over the two great battles of the day—the interpational contest of wuscle between the British Lion and the Ame rican Eagle, and tbe political contest at Charlesion—the issue of one beivg the cham pionsbip of Exgland, apd tbe other the cham- piovsbip of 4werica. But the arrival of the Veo Gerbilt on Saturdey murning created such » furore that, for the time, public attention was drawn off completely from the political arena at Charleston to the prize ring in the Engtieh county of Surrey. The excitement, however, baving bow partially subsided, the Coarleston Convention again regains its place in the popular mind. Some ides of the extent of en thusiasm abich prevailed throughout the city on the receptive of the news trom Engtane way be formed from the tmmen-e wombers of Brraip which we were compelled t seove for the last two daeye, oll of which were sore an eogerly bougbt up as fast as our presses could throw them off. Notwithstanding that extras containing am account of the fight were printed in England and sent cut here by the Vander- bilt, and that every sewspaper in the city published some kind of an accouat of it on Saturday, the circulation of the HuzaLp was . 104,160 copies. Sunday... ++ 97,080 “ And our circulation yesterday would no doubt have been quite as large as on Satur- day, only that we were unable to get our paper to press in time, owing to delay in re- ceiving our despatches from Charleston. Tue Great Ficut Acaw—Comments or THE Brrrisa Prees,— We close up to-day ourrecord of the greatest event of the age—one that has made as much talk as the Atlantic tele graph, and a great deal more than the Japanese Embassy, or the visit of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales—of course we allude to the international muscular contest between the champions of the British Lion and the American Eagle. Included with our extracts of today will be found a very graphic description of the fight taken from the London Times. It is done without slang or coarse- ness of any kind, and may serve as a model for some reporters on this side of the water, who seem to think that the more incomprehensible they can make their accounts ofeporting events the cleverer they are. We also print an elabo- rate article from the London Chronicle, which takes ground in favor of the muscle men, and gives out that the Prime Minister of England himself is not averse to manly sports. The London Daily News has some indignant com- ments upon the barbarity of the fight; but the general tone of the British press seems to be favorable towards the gladiators. We presume that it would be of ne.more use to preach against prize fighting here than in - England. Pugnacity runs in the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic blood, and comes out in the extremi- ties, Everybody fired up when the news by the Vanderbilt was promulgated. Everybody who had not time to read the papers on Satur- day took them home and devoured them ali on Sunday. The fight was the theme of discussion everywhere, from the Baptist Mission in the Five Points up to the portico of Grace church. The softer rex seemed as much interested in the matter as the lords of creation. There must be & reason for all this. It is the hereditary feel- ing of rivalry between John Bull and Brother Jonathan sticking out in the old fashioned way. Jonathan says to Bull, I can make better clucks, build faster ships, con- struct more effective telegrapbic apparaégus, and the country is interested, so far as it knows any- thing of the specialities mentioned. But when Jonathan takes off his coat, ties the stars and stripes to @ stick, and says, come, old fellow, I can thrash you, then everybody is interested. Every little boy anderstands the argumentum ad hominem—the logical sequence which is pro- pelled in a straight line from the shoulder. So everybody got desperately interested in the Benicia Boy, and desperately disgusted with the British swell mob who broke up the fight to eave their money. As for the representa- tives of the British Lion, whe have been brag- ging in a characteristic manner about Heenan’s being whipped toa dead certainty, they are deeperately ashamed of themselves. As for the poor old Lion himeelf, we suggest that he should be permanently attached to the-Zribune office, and fed upon vegetables for. the remainder of his Gays. It will not be safe for him to lay down with a lamb of ordinary pluck now. Tax Next Democratic Convention.—The se- lection of Charleston for the place of holding the Democratic Convention gave rise to a good deal of discontent among the delegates and others who were soxious to be present at that exciting and momentous affair, from the fact that the metropolis of South Carolina wasrather en out-of-the-way place, very hard to get at trom New York and Washington, and posseps- ing very emall advantages for the accommo- dation of an unusual number of visiters. Des- pite al) remonstrance, however, the Convention has met there, and so far things seem to have gone on pretty well. We do not bear much grumbling about bad fare, short allowance of provisions, or extortionate prices; but at the sume time it is clear that Charleston is not the place tor euch an event to come off in. New York is the most fit and proper location for the Democratic Convention, and we would suggeat that when it meets again, four years hence, it sha)] sesemble bere in the great commercial me- tropolis of tbe republic. Thies isthe centre not love of commerce, but of political eentiment. Everything which contributes to the greatness and importance of the nation is concentrated here; moreover, every one wants to come to New York; there is ecmething to be seen and teard in the metropolis that possesses interest jor everybody; its means of accommodation are uplimited, end the influx of ten times as many as the Copvention might call together would not make the slightest difference in the hotel charges or anything else, The Conven- ticn now ip session contemplates empowering ihe Natioval Democratic Committee to appoint sbe time and place for the next Convention. This is the mod& adopted by the republican party, and it is undoubtedly the correct one. We hope that the commiitee will see the wis- com of electing the city of New York as the place of meeting for the Democratic Conven- tion of 1864. Horrors or THe New Stave Trapa.—Old Exgiand and New England entered into a com bination some years ago to abolish the African tlave trade, and the philanthropists of both countries left nothing undone or unsaid to re- present it in features of the moat appalling cha- racter, Old England sacrificed her West India colonies and a large portion of her trade at home to break down the system, and New Eng- jand seriously damaged her carrying trade and many other commercial interests with the came object. But, finding that it was an unprofitable phase of philanthropy, they have both com- bined now to establish another kind of slave teffic, known as the coolie trade—New Eng- tend supplying her ships for the purpose, and Oid Engtend her money and her influence in China. France, too, suffered so much by the abolition of the slave trade that she thought seriously of reeuming it recently, but she has made some kind of compromise with Great Sritan, and will probably go asdeep into the coo.le business as the rest ‘This new slave tude bas proved to be a more nefarious and raei affuir than the old.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 30, 1860,—-TRIPLE SHEET. men into this involuotary servitude in Cubs, and the shocking system of torture to whiob they are subjected by the kidnappers, showing that the horrors of the coolie trade far surpass the worst agonies of the middle passage in the African slave trade. We publish to-day a let- ter from the Chinese allied Commanders in- Chief to the foreign Consuls in Canton upon this eubject, which furnishes evidence enough to brand this entire system as an atrocious oat- rege and fraud, and to convince any one that the philunthropiets who made euch a fuss about the slave trade on the coast of Africa, and new aid and abet in s system of stealing coolies from Chins, under the moet inhuman circum- stances, are the greatest humbugs of the day. Tue Anniversary SEason.—The anniversa- ries commence to-day, two meetings being an- nounced to come off; after which the campaign will be suspended until the 6th of May, when it will be resumed in full blast, and continue until the 17th, We observe that there are more than the usual number of ‘anniversa- ries to come off this year, from which we ar- gue that the funds are getting very low, for it is well known tbat the real object of these an- nual gatherings of the sanctimonious and phi- lanthropic philosophers is to extract money from the plethoric pockets of the citizens of the metropolis. It is quite probable, however, that the excitement which the Charleston Con- vention is creating will take away a good deal of interest from the anniverearies—politics being more absorbing than religion or philamthropy just now, pending the great quadrennial atrug- gle of the country. TraveLTo Eprorg.—The usual summer travel to Europe seems to be fairly setting in. The Persia, which left here on Wednesday for Liver- pool, took nearly two hundred passengers, and the Arago, which sailed on Saturday for Havre, took one hundred and fifty—over three hun- dred passengers in one week. In all probs bility the number of visiters to Europe this year will exceed considerably that of previous eessone. People have plenty of money, and it ie characteristic of Americans to spend it freely when they have it. The visit of the Prince of Wales to this country, and the arrival of the Japanese Embassy, will no doubt’contribute to induce a large counter emigration of tourists from Europe; eo that this year promises to be a very stirring and profitable one for the trans- atlantic steamsbip interest.

It is ‘understood to be the purpose of the government to as. ume the entire control of the Japanese, so far as expense ® concerned, while they are guests of the United States, which will be until the time of their embarkation. ‘This will not, however, prevent State or city govern: ments from extending to them any civilities additigual, end temporarily becoming their hosts. Capt. Dupont will act as cicerone while they are in the country, and will have entire control of their movements. THD RARDINIAN MOREON, ‘The Chevalier Bertinatti, Sardinian Charge de Affaires, accompanied by bis secretaries and attachés, recently made a formal call upcn the Hon. Anson Burlingame, of the Bouse Committee on Foreign Affairs, to acknowledge in behalf of his government his indebtedness to that gen. tleman for bis efforts in bringing forward a meaguro rais- ing the representative of the United States to Sardinia from a Charge de Affaires to a first class mission, thereby recognizing by the United States the government of Sar- dinia as one of the great Powers of Europe.

I learn that there is evid@ipoe to show that this opinion of Lieut. Dudiey fs » mistake. ‘A SEW TERRITORY. I learn that the Committee on Territories in the House are ‘considering the subject of a new Territory, to be Composed of the upper portions of Dacotah and Nebraska, to be called Chippewa. In that event, the fame committee will report in favor of or. gacizing Dacotah out of ths southern portion of the Territory of that name and a part of Nebraska. Should Congress ostablish the Northern over- jJand wagon-road, it will pass clrectly through the centre of the proposed pew Territory of Chiopewa. The commit- tee are of the opinion that goveroment can better protect ihe overiand mail routes and tbe lives and property of pioneers by organizing the Territories than it can with the army. % ABUSES IN THE NAVY YARDS, The civil officers, mechanics aad laborers In the various yards of the United States are a good deal exercised in consequence of the report of the Board of Nava! Officera, who were directed by the Secretary of the Navy ia 1859 to inquire tnto the abuses of the Navy Yards. The Board were ordered to make the examinstion of atx of the most extensive yards in the country, in the month of April, In little over two months they made an ciaborate report, covering eighty document pages, asserting that thoy have copeluded on all tbe yarde, and endeavored to give au impartial view of matters as they exist uncer the present system. They enter into the minutest dotatls of the various Gepartments of the yards in expreaaing opi iors, but ¢o not exh bit much kuowledge of the branches of business of which they a*sume t2 speak. They copcemp and censure, reemingly without limit, and Apslly recommend, in order, as they assert, to Insure greater efliciency and economy, that the navy yards be placed at once uncer strict military rule, and that the Commandant slone be held responsible for the faithful erformacce of the duties of ali thoge under his command. Although this report was made to the Secretary of the Navy nearly one year ago, it never caw deylight unt recently calied for by a reeoiution of the House, and tia- mediaiely upon its being printed the copics dissp- petred £0 fast that it is almont impossible to obtain one tp Waghington. The news that the Board recommended the yards to be piaced under sirict military rule soos reached the hundreds of artists and mechanics in the va rious yards, and an avalanche.of pro ests, momorials ant petitions, it ts sald, wil) be the result. Toe ijea that aship builder most take bis instractions how to build a ship from a military officer is pronounced s piece of wild non- tense. The House bes called for the testimony upoo which this absurd end anti-democratic piece of tyracy ts bared, which, report anys, will afford a feild of informa tion, The changing the superintend of the armortes of the United States from the miitery to civic rale bas proved too great a success for a suggestion like thet made by the Board to receive avy important attention. ‘WB DIRCOVEREKS OF GUANO ISLANDS.
