Both branches of the national legislature ad- journed yesterday at noon, leaving much unfinished business. The Post Office Deficiency bill was passed by the House, but the Post Route bill was lost. Another message was sentin by the Presi- dent, recapitulating the grounds of his protest against the proceedings of the Covode Committee. The City of New York arrived at this port yester- day afternoon, bringing files of Earopean papers to the 18th inst. Her news, although four days later than that by the Asia, has been already anticipated by telegraph from the Melita, off Farther Point, The reception of our files enables us to give copious details of important European news to the day of sailing. Advices from San Francisco by the overland route to the 4th inst. have come to hand. The failure of the telegraph at Vizalia, prevented the reception of news to the Sth. Business was brisk, with a declining tendency in prices. The news is interesting. A suit has been commenced against the steamer John L. Stephens, for carrying an excess of passengers on her last trip from Panama. The community of San Francisco wi somewhat excited by reports of anticipated Indian outbreaks, and precautionary measures were being taken. The British Boundary Commissioners were moving up the Columbia river. The An. rican party had left Colville. Ad- vices from Japan to the Sd of May had reached San Francisco. They report that country as in an ‘unsettled condition, a large and influential party being opposed to intercourse with foreigners. A battle had been fought near Jeddo, and a prince killed. The captaing of foreign vessels at Kanaga- wa had been notified to prepare for an attack, as the government might be unable to protect them. The news from Honolulu is to the th. Mr. Fitzpatrick, who received ghe nomination for Vice President on the Douglas ticket, having de- clined the honor tendered him, Mr. H. V. Johnson, of Georgia, has accepted the invitation of the com- mittee to fill the vacancy. A committee from the Chamber of Commerce waited upon the Japan Embassy yesterday, with a view of eliciting such information in regard to the prodoctions and wants of the people of that empire as wonld prove of value in our future com- mercial intercourse with that nation. A great nam ber of questions were propounded, and much vaual ble information gained by the committee, who will continue their labors by drawing up a series of farther questions in writing. As we go to press a tremendous fire is raging in Ann street, at the third door from Nassau. adjacent streets are crowded with firemen, and the steam engines are at work. From present indica- tions the fire will be very extensive, as the efforts of the firemen seem to be of no avail, Full par- ticalars will be given in our evening edition. None of the bodies of the persons shipwrecked on the United States steamer Walker have as yet been discovered. It was supposed that many re-4 mained in the hold of the vessel, as at the latest accounts from Atlantic City none had been washed ashore.

With the disruption of the democratic party, the only way in which Lincoln can be defeated is by a combination electoral ticket of the par- ties opposed”to him in the State of New York. There is a popular majority in this State op- posed to the republican party, and this majority, upon a joint stock electoral ticket in behalf of Bell, Douglas and Breckinridge, may take away the thirty-five electoral votes of New York from Lincoln, which will defeat him. The whole electoral vote of the Union"is, The vote of the Southern States is.. ’ It will thus be seen that while the Southern States cannot elect the President without the addition to their strength of thirty-two votes from the North, Lincoln may dispense with thirty-one of the Northern electoral vote, and still be elected. From the present complexion of things he will not lose the thirty-two votes necessary to defeat him, except with the loss of New York. New York ‘is thus the key of the election. In order to show that by a combined opposi- tion electoral ticket New York may be carried against Lincoln, we turn to the resulta of several of our late elections, begin- ning with that of 1856, which brought the re- publican party into,the field. The popular vote of New York for President, in 1856, was:— For Fremont, republican For Buchanan, democrat. For Fillmore, Know Nothing The | Governor was, in round numbers Repubitoan . Know Nothing, or American ‘ 531,000 —Showing a republican loss of nearly 30,000 as compared with 1856, a democratic gain of 35,000, a Know Nothing reduction to the extent of 60,000, and a deficiency in the total vote of the same amount. Tn 1859, for State officers, the Know Nothings adopted half the democratic and half the re- publican State ticket. The brunt of the contest was for Secretary of State,and the results for this officer were: — For Jones, democratic and Know Nothing vote For Leavenworth, republican. | The majority of the union vote for Jones | the republican vote for Leavenworth was only | some eighteen hundred; but there was a defi- | ciency in the popular vote, as compared with 1856, of 92,000. The republican deficiency was | only some 23,000, so that allowing this reserved vote to the republicans, there was a vote re- | served against them of nearly 70,000. ‘Thus, it appears that in our last November | election, making a fair comparison between the | vote cast and the vote of 1856, there was a vote held in reserve, which, if rendered in according to its party complexion, reduces the republican party in this State to a minority of over 48,000. Surely Bell, Douglas and Breckinridge com- bined can retain this outstanding majority, es- pecially when we consider that the ignominious slaughter-house sacrifice of W. H. Seward at Chicago has alienated thousands of men from the republican cause in this State—thousands of old whigs and republicans, and thousands of 00d Catholics whose hopes were centred upon his nomination. But how is this combination electoral ticket to be managed’ It cannot be managed by the silly stump politicians of the Breckinridge and Douglas factions, for they are no more disposed to suspend fighting each other than the Kilkenny cats, But it may be managed by the powerful commercial classes of this metropolis, whose business interests are so seriously involved in this contest. They could readily produce a million of money in behalf of the combined electoral ticket we have enggested. A State 252.054 convention of each of these parties concerned, appointed at the same time and place, could ar- ange the ticket. If adopted, and successful, ‘The President and the Covode Committee. The most remarkable feature in the proceed- ings of Congress yesterday was the second pro- test from the President against the inquisitorial proceedings of the House in the matter of the Covode Committee, touching the conduct of the Executive in official briberies and corruptions connected with his administration of the affairs of the general governmest. In this second protest the President repeats and enlarges upon the grounds of the first, against the proceedings of the House in instituting, prosecuting and supporting this Covode smelling committee. We give the message in full, in connection with our reports of yesterday’s Congressional proceedings, on reference to which our readers will obtain the arguments on both sides of the question. That the President makes out a clear case of an infringement of the boundaries of his depart- ment of the government by the House of Rep- esentatives, in the matter of this Covode Com- mittee, we think every dispassionate reader will agree ; that his complaints are just against the P ctoral veie could be divided between il, Douglas and Breckinridge, according to the proportion of the electoral tickets cast with their respective names. ‘This is the only remaining expedient whereby Old Abe Lincoln” can be defeated; and if the parties opposed to him refuse to act upon our suggestions, we shall know that their spirit of revenge against cach other has become stronger than their sense of duty to the country. New York Is the key to the White House, and if not seized to shut out Lincoln, it will be used to let him in. The Progress of European Filibasterism— Course of the Italian Question. The state of affairs in Sicily and Southern and Central Italy is of the most complicated and interesting character. European filibusterism, under the lead ef Garibaldi, has triumphed at Palermo, and a movement of the most hair-brained and desape- rate character in its inception may yet rock the whole of Europe with its results. The popular and heroic leader of Italian liberty embarked with a little more than one thousand men in wo small steamers, ran the gauntlet of the nu- merous Neapolitan navy, made a strategic march upon a city held by 25,000 veteran ‘roops, and in thirty days the city has surren- dered, the army capitulated, and a government for free Sicily has been organized. This has been achieved in the face of innumerable acci- dents that might have overthrown the enterprise and consigned all its participants to death. A single man-of-war met upon the sea might have sunk either or both of the fragile steamers, a surprise on a march, the neighing of a horse during the strategic advance on Palermo, a stray shot, carrying off the leader and soul of the expedition, and almost any little adverse event, might have changed the result and de- layed the march of events for years to come. Even now the course of affairs is not beyond the reach of accident in liberated Sicily. Na- ples still holds the strong places of Syracuse, Messina and Agosta, and on the main land no responsive movement has yet taken place, while the Sardinian government has officially an- nounced that a conspiracy is on foot in Tuscany for the restoration of the exiled princes. That immense efforts will be made to resist the further advance of Garibaldi, and the con- solidation of the kingdom of Northern Italy, we cannot doubt. The struggle is the death struggle of that temporal empire of the Church which claims by tradition its establishment by Constantine, and which history concedes to the series of pontiffs from Adrian the First to Hildebrande. The success of Gari- baldi in Sicily must inflame Naples and the whole of Central Italy, and Rome itself can be saved only by the active intervention of the European Powers. Even this can save the tempo- ral power of the Pope but for a few years longer from the march of European progress, and then, if not now, that venerable and time-worn empire will expire, and be decently buried. It will be entitled to a great funeral, and as long a train of carriages as followed the hearse of Bill Poole, but the only hearty mourner in this country will be Archbishop Hughes. This event will produce a marked effect on the temporal as well as on the religious affairs of the world. The Church of Rome was the preserver of the science, literature and philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome. During all the dark ages that followed the irruption of the barbarians into Southern Europe and Northern Africa, when the ancient lights of mankind were extinguished, the Church carried them in her bosom, but she knew not what they were. From the monastic cells that harbored them sprang modern civilization and philosophy. Luther, by their light, gave the first blow to the accretions which centuries had piled round the old Church; and to-day Euro- pean filibusterism comes to finish the work. Its performance will help to clear the political as well as the religious atmosphere of Europe, but the great principles of government and religion will remain purified and unscathed. These changes and possible complications will make the coming season in Europe one of intense in- terest to the whole world, although, from present appearances, it is not likely to result in a general war, as England and France have had the good sense to keep out of the Italian complications. Partisan Powtrenrss.—One can’t help being with the delightfully urbane manner in which the leaders of the rival cliques at Baltimore observed the convenances which usually obtain among gentlemen in political as well as social intercourse. The playful epithets used by Congressmen, such as “liar,” traitor,” “scoundrel,” and similar gentle phrases ia which the English language abounds, were thrown about with a degree of looseness that must have been perfectly charming to a spectator, but not quite so agreeable to the persons at whom they were levelled. This state of things was observable at Charleston, but then it was accredited by some old fogies, who called it disgraceful, to the heat of the weather, and the length of the ta- vern bills which delegates had to suffer. We find, however, that when the scene of the con- vention was moved to a city further north, and where the hotel keepers have more liberality than at Charleston, the cursing and fighting element becomes more prominent than be- fore, and that the Northern men are even more pugnacious than the fire-eaters. If the code is adhered to in every case, we may expect to hear of as many as a couple of dozen duels growing out of the Baltimore rencontres. We opine, however, that the quarrels commenced at Baltimore will not be settled in any case by a resort to arms. The combatants will take it out of each other on the stump, or in the party pa- pers, which should be especially lively between this time and November. Posrrion or Mr. Bucwaxax.—Now that the inharmonious democracy have placed their plat- forms and candidates before the people, we may reasonably expect that the partisan war which has been waged with so much malignity against the President will be suspended. The black republicans will now tarn their batteries agains Douglas and Breckinridge, and leave Mr. Buchanan to the future historian. When his administration comes to be examined by an un- prejudiced and capable critic, its record will be found to compare favorably with that of any of Mr. Buchanan’s predecessors. The yery same men who led the opposition against Mr. Polk now stand ready to canonize him as a saint. ‘That will be the case with Mr. Buchanan, and history will say that his administration was characterized by eminent ability, wisdom, pru- dence, forbearance and moderation—prime re- ' qvisites for practical etatesmansbip, cred this Covode investigation, no intelligent eader can deny. Nor can any doubt be enter- ained that the hostile majority of the House, which has prosecuted and sustained this inves- tigation to this point, will sustain it to the end. Mr. Buchanan, however, is not without his reasons for exultation over the indefatigable re-" searches and curious discoveries of this Covode experiment, Thus, he declares, “I have passed triumphantly through this ordeal. My vindica- tion is complete. The committee have report- ed no resolution looking to an impeachment against me ; no resolution of censure ; not even a resolution pointing out any abuses in any of the executive departments of the government to be corrected by legislation.” But still, in the pame and as the representative of the people and standing upon the ramparts of the consti- tution, he “solemnly protests against these un- precedented and unconstitutional proceedings.” This protest is well applied, for the manner in which the President has been triedefore this committee has been about as fair and legitimate as would be the trial of a man before a grand jury for a high crime, and that, too, in advance of the bill of indictment. We have no doubt that the question at issue will receive at the next session of Congress that serious considera- tion which it demands, but which at this session has been denied. Meantime, we apprehend that the purposes of this Covode investigation have ceased to exist. The committee and its “drag net” were created under the idea that the democratic party and the administration would be a unit in this Pre- sidential campaign, and that thus anything and everything that could be raked and scraped together smelling of spoils-corruptions on the part of the administration, would be good political capital against the powerful demo- eracy, like the White House silver teapots and gold spoons discovered there by one Paul Pry Ogle, of Pennsylvania, about the year 1840, But all this is changed now. The powerful democracy have gone to pieces, and such swift witnesses for the uses of Covode as Forney and Wendell, in their shocking testimony of moral degradation, have only convicted and disgraced themselves before the world. Bowman, of the Constitution newspaper, and Rice, formerly of the Pennsylvanian, have also shown themselves to be mere hucksters in the spoils of office. The whole batch have proved themselves such a nui- sance that the administration has suffered in giv- ing them any countenance whatever from the moment they began to chaffer and wrangle over the spoils of the public printing. They should all have been sent off to Coventry with Forney. ‘The dissolution of the democratic party places Forney and all his anti-Lecompton brethren who have been warming themselves in the re- publican kitchen at a discount in the market. The republican party can do without them, will not want them, and will whistle them down the wind. As for the administration, it now comes forward to the judgment of the unpre- judiced historian. Relieved of the demoralized and disjointed party which has given him so much trouble—having no more favors to ask of it, and nothing more to fear from it, nor from any other party—Mr. Buchanan is free to pursue his own course for the remnant of his term. On its expiration he will return to Wheatland with something of the grateful emotions of a be- wildered traveller escaping from a nest of thieves to the shelter of his own roof. ———— Party Coxtests 1x Exoiaxn.—The resistance offered to Lord John Russell’s Reform bill by the rump of the old whig party, in combination with the Derbyites, has compelled its with- drawal for the present session. This, with the defeat of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s pro- position for the abolition of the paper duty, will probably lead to a fresh organization of the Manchester league and a series of violent de- monstrations against the enemies of popular rights. The opposition think they have accom- plished a triumph in the defeat of these two measures; but before Parliament meets again they will have discovered their mistake. The postponement of the concessions demanded of them will only increase the amount they will ultimately have to yield. They can no more avoid a cheap press and the extension of the franchise than they can set bounds to the march of public opinion. Should they be infatuated enough to persevere in their resistance to them the effect will be to virtually throw the govern- ment into the hands of the Manchester men, for no Ministry will be able to retain power for a single month withont their support. As the re- sult of their labors during the present session, the Derby-Disraeli faction may count on their own future exclusion from office and the early infusion of radical elements into the adminis- tration. Too Mucn or a Goon Tutwo.—The leaders of the democratic party were very much blamed by the masses for the absurd way in which they managed matters at Charleston, The delegates were chosen for the express purpose of nomi- nating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. They were entrusted, like mem bers of Congress, with limited powers, and dele- gated to don special act. Owing to the per- sonal quarrels of the party leaders the Conven- tion did everything which it ought not to have done, and left undone the particular duty for which it was created. The contrast between Charleston and Baltimore is a very strong one. As if attacked with the most severe compunc- tions of conscience, the Baltimore patriots were not satisfied with putting up one candidate for the Presidency, but they must needs nominate two. Some people may call this a gente) suffi- ciency, but we believe that the friends of Messrs. Dozglas and Breckiaridge already begia | } | | | unscrupulous partisan malignity which has gov- | to think it.an uncomfortable surplusage, As too many cooks spoi! the broth, so too many candidates may ruin the campaign so far as the terrified democracy are concerned. Cuanacrertstics or THE Comtsg Campafen.— The action of the democracy at Baltimore makes an entire and most important change in the ar- | rangements for the Presidential campaign. In- | stead of being, as usual, a pitched battle be- tween two great parties, it is to be a sort of gue- rilla warfare between half a dozen cliques, repre- sented by no less than four candidates, with a fair prospect for a fifth. This multiplicity of , candidates complichtes the game of the poli- ticians very much, and they will need all their skill wherewith to play it. Wehall, therefore, hear less of the personal merits or demerits of the candidates, and fewer stories as to their youthful peccadilloes or maturer sins. All the nominees are now pretty well known to the people, and the campaign must be fought on the merits. The leaders will see the necessity of extreme caution, as the field of battle cannot be brought down to the limited space of one or two doubtful States. As matters stand now nearly all the States are more or less doubtful, and the result cannot be predicted with anything like certainty, or even probability. The smallest accident may turn the scale in the most unexpected direction. So the battle will be one in which the best tacticians and the finest strategists will have the advantage. We can all afford to look at it | with complacency. Out of the mouths of a multitude of counsellors, saith the Scripture, comes wisdom; and from among all these can- didates we shall be quite sure of getting a Pre- sident. Meantime the country is safe, and even prospers in the face of the ruin which the poli- ticians predict. The only real sufferers we know of are the camp followers, who are a good deal puzzled to ascertain under which banner they should enlist in order to be sure of a chance at the spoils of victory. Movine Ur Towy.—We understand that after the close of this season Wallack’s theatre will be taken down and stores erected on its site. We are also informed that Mr. A. T. Stewart, who owns the property under the Metropolitan Hotel, is about to sweep away Niblo’s Garden and everything under the hotel, and convert them into vast stores, extending from Broadway to Crosby street. After this season, then, these theatres will have to move up town, and the most down town theatres will be Laura Keene's and the Winter Garden. In the course of time these houses also will have to give way to the march of trade, and retire up towards Union square. It was said some time ago that a new theatre was about to be erected on Union square, some- where in the neighborhood of the Union Place Hote], and we should not be surprised to see all our principal theatres centred there before long. Ina few years from now Union square may be- come to this metropolis what Leicester square is to London—the centre of theatres and exbi- bitions of all kinds. Ovr Trave wira Japax.—Elsewhere will be found an interesting article on Japan, from Har- pers’ New Cyclopedia of Commerce. It pre- sents the most comprehensive view of the histo- ry, vital and commercial statistics and govern- mental system of that empire that has as yet been published. It is only by making ourselves acquainted with the facts, grouped together in articles of this kind, that a proper estimate can be formed of the advantages that we are likely to derive from the friendly relations which we have succeeded in opening with the Japanese. The habits and bearing of the Asiatic popula- tions are so unfamilar to us that contact with our present visiters may lead many to under- rate these prospective benefits. They will find it difficult to understand that a race so physically inferior to ours, and apparently so primitive in their habits, can ever become great producers or consumers for our markets. A perusal of the facts contained in the article referred to, will at once convince skeptics on this point that there is no limit to the trade that may be developed by the application of our scientific and mechani- cal knowledge to the natural resources of Ja- pan. The present Embassy will carry back with ita due appreciation of the superiority of our different systems of manufacture, and jt is not to be doubted that steps will sooner or later be taken to confer upon that country the ad- ‘vantages which have been made #0 manifest to its representatives. Coxreston ms Tammany Hlari.—The action of the two Conventions at Baltimore has knocked Tammany Hall all of a heap. The Sachems do not know what to do, and the General Com- mittee is ina dilemma. Who is to be the man for Tammany—Douglas or Breckinridge? Some of the props and pillars of the old Wigwam are for Douglas, and some go for Breckinridge, and between the two there must be dire confu- sion, Meantime, Fernando Wood and the Mo- zart Hall men can look on and laugh at the fun. But the worst part of it is, that Tammany will get no money for the next election. As there is no prospect of electing a democrat and securing any spoil, the usual contributors of course will not come down handsomely this time. Besides, Mr. Buchanan may find it ne- cessary to remove some of the office holders. We do not know how many heads may fall be- tween this and November. Truly, Tammany is in a bad way. Orp Ane’s Castyet.—The friends of Old Abe Lincoln, considering his election certain— as perhaps they have some grounds for doing under the circumatances—are already begin- ning to arrange his Cabinet, thinking that there is nothing else to be done now after the denoue- ment at Baltimore. It is thought that Mr. Seward will be offered a place in the Cabinet, as a compliment due to his position and talents; and if he does not accept it—which he proba- bly will not-he may be tendered the mission to England, It is probable that Mr. Lincoln will endeavor to get some man from one of the States on the Southern border to take a seat among his constitutional advisers, in order to. give a tinge of nationality to his administration, There is no dearth of able men in his party at the North and West. There are Chase and Wade, of Ohio; Banks, of Massachusetts; Trum- bull, of Mlinois, and others. But what is going to be done with Massa Greeley? It will never do to leave him out. He is not asking fora place—he never did in his life; but we know by that letter, written six years ago to Mr. Seward, that he expects it, and always did expedt it, though he was too modest to ask for ft. If Old Abe does tot know the place Massa Greeley wants, we can tell him. He wants to be made Postmaster General; and ff ke dees wale Inquests. river.
