The Board of Education had another exciting pession last evening. The subject of their meeting ‘was @ religious one in its bearings, being the reveat dismissal of the Protestant teachers in the Fourth ward. The Board, after much warm debate, adopt- eda resolution appointing a special committee of three to investigate the trouble and its canses. The Excise Commissioners pursue their labors in the most regular and monotonous manner. At their meeting yesterday they granted four thirty dotlars licenses. ‘The regular meeting of the Emigration Commts- frioners took place yesterday afternoon.

A very able and learned oration, on the subject of the phitosophy of history in relation to civilization, was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, Professor in the Union Theological Seminary. At its conclu- sion the Society passed a vote of thanks to the ora- tor, and requested a copy of the oration for publi- cation. ‘The market for beef cattle was heavy yesterday, ata decline of gc. a dc per lb. .

The Baltimore Convention—The Political Parties of the Day and the Spoils. The work of the dismemberment of the demo- cratic party, so promisingly begun at Charles- ton, has been renewed at Baltimore, with every indication of a Mississippi steamboat explosion. The postponement of the Convention from April to June, which the friends of Mr. Douglas vainly imagined would bring “the sober second thought” of the seceders to a graceful surrea- der, has operated only to widen and deepen the chasm which divides the conflicting factions. Mr. Douglas has played a bold, persevering and desperate game. He has lost it. His fatal mis- take, with all its variations and vicissitudes of the last six years, has been that misty ghost of an abstraction called squatter sovereignty, In pursuit of it he has swamped himself and his party. The success of the republican ticket ia November is thus secured, unless in the inter- val some unexpected accident. may interpose to prevent it. But these present discords of the democratic party are not wholly chargeable to Mr. Doug- Jas, nor to his disastrous Kansas-Nebraska pill. These are the more immediate causes of the explosion, but there are others be- hind them which, a little later, would have brought. about the same — result, had the Missowi Compromise remaiaed untouched to the present day. - The spoils, and the ravenous appetites of the party leaders, aspirants, expectants, drummers and trum- peters, sappers and miners, and cooks, scullions and camp followers of the party for the spoils, would, sooner or later, have done the work. The real trouble which has broken up the democracy was introduced as the ruling idea of the party a quarter of a century ago, ia that demoralizing battle cry of Marcy, that “to the victors belong the spoils.” The spoils, in- deed, began to be recognized as the legitimate sinews of war in the terrible struggle of Gen. Jackson with the United States Bank; but it was under the administration of Martin Van Buren that the party in power was first left to stand or fall upon nothing better and nothing else than the spoils. Thus, had the opposition raised no other issue against the democratic party in 1840 than its wasteful and reckless ‘uses and abuses of the spoils, that would have been sufficient to defeat it. As it was, the whig party rode into power as upon a whirlwind; but in t8tf, in con- sequence of the death of Harrison and the quarrel with Tyler, and the Texas annexa- tion question, and the spoils, they were defeat- ed, and the democracy were reinstated around the fleshpots of the Treasury. In 1848 the mili- tary glory of General Taylor, and the rebellion of Martin Van Buren, were accredited as the causes which resulted in turning out the demo- cracy again to grass. But it was the craving desire of the whigs for the spoils that led them to set aside the foremost statesman of the age for “a nomination not fit to be made; and it was the disappointment of Van Buren and his adherents concerning the spoils that ended in his running as an independent candidate against the nominee of the Baltimore Democratic Con- vention. In 1852 Seward and his dangerous sectional programme on the slavery question did mach to break up the whig party; but the party might have survived that defeat—might even have escaped a defeat—but for the distracting canses in the camp concerning the spoils, and the ter- rible pressure outside the camp for a new distribution of the spoils. Soe. in 1858, necessity for a new division of the spoils would have defeated tlie democracy but for the per- sonal popularity of Mr. Buchanan in Penneyl- vanta, and the savdng intervention of Fillmore as 4 third candidate. Had Fillmore withdrawn upon the nomination of Fremont. the fatter would have beam elected; bat Fillmore, like Van Buréo, bad an xecount to settle with some of bis old party associates fn the important matter of the epoile, and. like Van Baren, he settled it. Tn 1857 the quarrel of Mr. Douglas with the present adininistration began. not upon the Le- compton coastitution, bul upoa the question of the division of the spotls of victory accraing to the State of Illinois, In 1855 the New York demapracy throughout the State was split lato two very nearly equal parts upon the para. mount isque of the division of the «polls NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1860. ° of our Custom Mouse by Collector Bron- Son, and the party bas never recovered from that rupture to this day, Thus it will be perceived that from the time of Gen. Jackson down to this hour the spoils have been the underlying and controlling elemeat of all our political elections. Party leaders and party managers live and labor only for the spoiis. The obedient party masses ave trained by platforms and constitutional ab- stractions to their duties of patriotism, in order that their leaders and managers may fatten upon the spoils. Down to and including the administration of Joha Quincy Adams, when the whole expendi- tures of the general government did not ex- ceed thirteen millions a year, wheu official sala- ries were low, and when there was an ualimited tield to other employments, the spoils were but as a feather in the scales of our political atrug- gles. Now, with an annual distribution of spoils of one hundred millions a year, with largely increased official salarigs, fat jobs, the modern institution of the lobby, and with the prevalent evil of lazy and luxurious habits among our young mea, the power of the spoils over our politicians and parties has tacreased to a degrce which is irresistible. . It is upon this rock that the democratic party is breaking to pieces. Coupled with this disas- trous condition of the democracy, the grand idea of a new division of the spoils will, in all probability, make “Old Abe Lincoln” our next President. But as the scramble for the spoils in the case of poor Picree broke up his party in the first summer of his administration, and ag the same debasing squabble over the spoils resulted in a conspiracy or two to rule or ruin Mr. Buchanan before he was inaugurated, so we may expect that before Mr. Lincoln is warm in the White Honse chair his party will be scattered to the four winds, and all because the supply of offices will be less than one to ten of the demands. The disappointed will bolt for a new division; the outside party will next suc- ceed; and this, until the demoralizing influences of the spoils shall have hurried us into dissolu- tion and anarchy, or a military despotism, promises henceforward to be the established order of things. Mr. Douglas is only repeating the role of Van Buren, and the fire-eaters are only retorting upon him the game of Greeley—nothing more. But that will do. Seward and Douglas will re- turn home in the same train. The Sicilian Revolution—Reply of the European Powers to the Demands of Naples. By the arrival of the steamship United King- dom we have two days later news from Sicily. The capitulation between Lanza and Garibaldi had been formally concluded, and the par- ticulars in brief have reached us. The state- ment that the King of Naples bad invoked the intervention of the five great Powers to guarantee the integrity of bis dominions, and to use their influeace to prevent Piedmont from favoring an insurrection on the maintand, is confirmed. The answer of Louis Napoleon, whose interference was more particularly so- licited, was prompt aud characteristic. He re- plied that mediation was only possible between two Powers, and uniess the King of Naples offi- clally recognized the Sicilian revolution he could not undertake to mediate between him and its chiefs. England returned for answer that she did not intend to interfere in the con- flict, except to stop the effusion of blood, and that without taking part on either side; but she promised to recommend Piedmont not to aid in fomenting insurrection in the peninsular posses- sions of the King of Naples. The other Powers, with the exception of Austria, which holds no diplomatic relations with Piedmont, replied in nearly similar terms. From the tenor of these declarations on the part of the great Powers, it is evident that the Bourbon dynasty has nothing to hope for from foreign interference. Nothing could have saved it from the forfeiture which it has so justly in- curred by its crimes but the energetic interpo- sition of France and England. Austria dares not indulge the inclination she feels to furnish it with material aid. In the first place she would, by doing so, again bring herself into conflict with France; and in the next she is her- self compelled to make concessions to the popu- Jar demands in Hungary to avert a similar out- break there. She has, therefore, been obliged, much against her will, to act in concert with the other Powers, who have shown a proper deference to public opinion by leaving the quarrel between the King of Naples. and his subjects to be adjusted between themselves, When the people of Central Italy extorted trom the European Powers a passive admission of their right to annex themselves to Sardinia, it was felt that on Important victory bad been gained over the traditional policy of the continental so- vereigns. The old theories which had governed the international relations of Europe were vir- tually set aside by their toleration of that act of popular self-assertion. But it remained to be seen whether their inaction was compelled by cir- cumstances, or was the result of convictions brought home to them by the events of 1848 and the inauguration in France of the principle of elective sovereignty, as exemplified in the per- son of Louis Napoleon. The declarations just made by the great Powers fn reply to the de- mands of Naples would go to establish the lat- ter conclusion. They acknowledge, if not in ex- press terms, at least by implication, the right of insurrection as the last resort of the people against oppression. When a clear case of unendurable wrong has been made out they will not interfere te protect its authors against the punishment due to their wanton abuse of power. This is all that the friends of poptiar liberty ia Europe have ever sought. Had tt been conceded sooner it would have spared a vast amount of suffering and blood- shed, by holding before the tyrannically in- clined the prospect of being brought to a oer- tain and severe acconnt for their misdeeds. It was the conviction that, as parts of « system, they were necessary to what is called Euro- pean order, which rendered so many of the petty continental despots indifferent to public opinion, and induced them to persevere fa courses which have resulted ia bloodshed and anarchy. The reply just given to the demands of Naples extinguishes any further delusions of this sort. It admits that, in diplomacy as well asin the conduct of private affairs, principle should be placed above expediency. and it recognizes the revolutionary elemteat as one of the great European powers. The triuaph thus gained is an tmportant one for the cause of butman liberty. It mot only ratifies the suoc- cesses it has recently achieved, but secures in advance the objects that it bas still in view The Eastern Question Again—The Sick Man, the Christians in Turkey, and the Holy Places. Whesever the governments in Eastera and Western Europe begin to express great concern for the condition of the Christians ia Turkey, we always kaow that “the sick man of Europe” is experiencing another relapse. Such is the case at the present moment. All the Cabinets are on the anxious seat regarding the proposed intervention between the Sultan and his Christian subjects; and the inquiry which the Russian government desired to have placed in the hands of the Consuls of the great Powers has been for a while headed of by the spontaneous action of the Turkish go- vernment, volunteering to take upon itself the whole labor, and to make all the inquiry with- out any foreign assistance whatever. Lord John Russell and the London Post assume to believe that this is very generous and noble on the part of the Turk, and must be quite satisfac- tory to Russia and all others. The vigor of the Turkish official, when he chooses to be vigorous, is frankly acknowledged, and the belief is expressed that “evil cannot lie deeper han is within the power of the government to remove,” although, perhaps, against “insubor- dinate officials and a half fanatical minority ‘of the civil populace.” There may be people who will agree with Lord John Russell and the Post as to the ge- nerous offer of the Turk to relieve the Christian consuls of all the trouble of making an official inquiry into the condition of their coreligion- ists in Turkey; but we hardly believe that Prince Gortschakoff or many other Russians will be found among them. The affair looks a little too much like the jailor volunteering to relieve inquisitive visiters from the necessity of looking into the condition of his dungeons and the conduct of his turakeys. Some of the curi- ous inquirers may think their own eyes and ears will do just as well, if not a little better, than the unaccompanied “vigor of the Turkish official.” Then, again, there are certain points in the matter which lead us more strongly to this opinion. The Russian Cabinet made a formal communication to the representatives at St. Petersburg of the parties to the treaty of Paris on the Sth of May, of the points it bad raised with the Sultan, and Sir John Crampton thought the subject of sufti- cient importance to remit the entire contents of the Russian note to London by telegraph. The points raised are: first, that the condition of the Christians in Turkey has become intolerable ; second, that an inquiry must be issued jointly hy the Turkish officials and the cousuls of the tow Powers ; third, that the organization of the treaty of Paris being inefficient to protect the Christians, a new one must be provided. The proposition of Russia here is unequivo- cal, the proposed method of verifying it seems fair, but the remedy is ambiguous. In the first place, no concern is felt for the Christiaas else- where than in European Turkey; then, the in- sufficient organization of the treaty of Paris em- braces only Moldavia and Wallachia; and, finally, it is pretty evident, from the antecedents of the case, that no organization to protect the Christians in Turkey will be held by Russia as entirely satisfactory unless it extends the sove- reignty of the Czar over them. Under these circumstances we cau hardly believe that Lord Jobn Russell and the London Post are sincere in affecting to consider that Russia will be satis- fied with the volunteer offer of Turkey to look into the matter by herself. We more incline to the belief that the motives which have stirred up this question about the Christians in Turkey have more to do with their political thaa with their religious condition. The “sick man” is in a state of relapse, his ex- chequer is bankrupt, and any attempt to ame- liorate the condition of the Christians will make the government peculiarly unpopular, and at a dangerous moment, with “the insubordinate officials and the half fanatical minority of the populace®” The Christian pilgrims are pouring forth from Turkey, and preaching a religions crusade through all the southern aad middle provinces of Russia. The war in the East for the holy places is not yet over. A worn out Islamism must retire across the Bosphorus, and still resist, if it can, the retura of the banners of Christ to Bethlehem and Jerusalem. When the “sick man” retfres who shall inherit the broad lands he now rules in Europe? That is the question which all are preparing to answer. Russia stirs the religious zeal of the Greek Christian, and strives to bind him to the Russian church by moral ties which tura the edge of the sword that would separate them. France secks to cut through the Isthmus of Suez, and to fortify herself opposite to Aden at the mouth of the Red Sea. And England is oc- cupied in Jaying from island fortress to island fortress, along the bed of the ocean, the electric cable that shall safely bind her distant posses- sions to the British isles. She sees the elements of a continent struggle preparing against her in the East, and she turns her hopes to the ocean, and westward to the land which she knows will not fail her when she is in the right, and when the foes of freedom are her foes. Excrrement ts THe Rewiowors Worto—Arcu- wisnor Hvcaes axp tae Crrr Lysrector.—The correspondence between the City Inspector and Archbishop Hughes, relative to the registry of marriages by the Catholic clergy, is creating quite an excitement among the religious com- munities and the clergymen of the various Pro- testant denominations. These gentlemen are not content that one religious body should be exempt from the fulfilment of the law in this particular, and many of them are determined that unless Archbishop Hughes is compelled to register the marriages celebrated by bis clergy in the City Inspector's office, they will not do soeither. The Archbishop declares that he is “ready for the prison or the scaffold” rather than obey the law, and i appears that there are a dozen or more clergymen of other persuasions also ready for the prison or the scaffold, if any favor be shown the Archbishop. What is to be the result of this? Suppose that Archbishop Hughes is tolerated in his course, and that the clergy generally refiuse to be bound by this law, and that they are sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars for every happy couple whom they unite ia the sweet bods of matrimony, aad, on decliuiag to pay, are ea into prison, our pulpits will soon be all empty. and what will become of our morale? Really, Archbishop Hughes ought to think of this, tt is a very serious business, The Protestant clergy, perhaps, do not care so much whether Gatholic marriages ave regis- tered ta the City Inspector's ofice or not, but they look upon the Archbishop's refusal to comply with the law o¢ the eateriag wedge of the Catholfe church to obtain more power ia this community than the churches of other de- nominations; and, viewed in his light, the pub- lished correspondence of the City Inspector and Archbishop Hughes bas been the means of creating uo little excitement. Mesic ry tax Centrat Panx.—Among the most charming feateres of the Central Park recreations last summer were the Saturday evening concerts. The people went up there by the thousands to listen to the delicious strains of Dodworth’s band, and the Park was perhaps more familiarized to the public by those enter- tainments than anything else. Now the people visit the Park every day in the week by tens of thousands, attracted by its owa beauties— the lovely scenes presented on every side of lake and grove and avenue—and led thither also by the increased fuctlities of approach by railroad, on Sundays as well as through the week. The season at present is most auspicious for renewing the concerts, and we hope soon to see the band reinstalled in their old position every Saturday evening. Large as the number of visiters is now, the addition of the regular weekly concert would multiply it tenfold. REVIVAL OF THE TARIFF BILL, Progress of Congress on the Ap- propriation Bills.
