Dr. Hayes, panion of the lamented Kane in the expedition wuich shed “a lustre on the Ame- rican name in connection with Arctic explorations, met a large number of friends in the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, who assembled to take fare- well of him prior to his departure, There wore two flags presented him—one by the members of the Kane Masouic Lodge, emblematic of the order of the mystic tie; the other was a boat ensign, which had seen service in the Wilkes expedition, aud sub- sequently in the Kane expedition. Some neat speeches were delivered on the occasion, a report of which and the proceedings generally will be found in another column. The Senatorial Central Park Investigating Com- mittee closed its labors yesterday, without proving any of the series of charges against the Commis- sioners. They will meet some time in September to draw up their report. Full reports of the tosti- mony taken by the Commissioners are given else- where ia to-day’s paper.

Arrangements were made to sail to-day, but it is not quite certain, we be- lieve, that they will be ready to depart at the appointed time. Much of the pleasure which the Ambassadors derived from their visit, and of the success which may ultimately crown their mission, is due to the course pursued by the naval officers to whom the government ¢o prudently entrusted the care and comfort of our Oriental visiters. Fortunately for them they fell into the keeping of gentlemen—men of education, refinement and good breeding, who knew how to minister to the tastes of a reserved and dignified class of | people, like these Japanese princes and nobles, and whose constant presence and attention | served as a wholesome restriction upon the | proverbial rudeness of our municipal autho- rities.

At Charleston and Baltimore they were the body guard of the politicians, ready to do their bidding, no matter what. It may be very appropriate and becoming fer blacklegs, gamblers and prize fighters to féle the distinguished men of thelr own class. But for persons who oecupy official positions to do so is disgraceful tn the last degree. There is a sad degeneracy creeping over our public morals w@n such things can happen among us. The only men of the governing classes who retain the ancient dignity of the republic are the gentlemen of the Army and Navy and Supreme Court. The system of rowdyism and brutality, endorsed and patrouized by men of means and of official standing, is driving this government to perdition; and unless the law- abiding citizens, the friends of deucscy and order, unite to crush it, the day is not distant when they will find themselves hopelessly under the feet of these Prectorian guards, who already sell the public offices, and henceforth will dictate schedule of short excursions, up and down the revolution may be the election of Lincoln river and bay, and around into tho East river, as President, and the apparent triumph of the at so much for the round trip, according to the | black repub! @istance.

Of course the administration: i» dew@ against "Douglas, as Douglas and his supporters, since 1807, have boon dead ‘ogainst’ the: adhainistra- ition. The Washington Constitution, @onbtless by authority, on “Wednesday last hoisted the aug of Breckiwridge ani Lane. Ia a leading editorial artide on the scbject, said paper fully Jpstifies the seeession of the eight: Southern ‘States from the Conventida at Charleston, and the larger and more powerfal-soecssion and op- Besition of é#egates representing, in: whole or impart, some twenty-two States, from: the gene- ral Convention at Baltimore. The Charlcston act of secession is,jnatified on the ground ‘hat s factitious-or fictitious majori- ty of the Coavention there. “forced, upon the veal majority .a platform of principles ly ambiguous in its terms,and, ly ob- noxious to tg democracy of seventeen States, because its dectrines would: destroy: the consti- tutional rights of every Southern. State.” The Baltimore rebellion is next justifed on the ground that every principle. of justice and honor revolted against that act of the factitious majority which excluded the. rightful demo- cratic delegates of several Southern States, and gave “their seats to persons never appointed by any authorized Lody in the States which they faisely pretended to represent.” This. will do; for surn and twist it as we may, the Danglas party went down. to Charleston to nominate him, maze or break; and the anti- Douglas forces went there. equally resolved to break him, even at the cost, if necessary, of breaking up the party. Both sides have suc~ ceeded. Douglas is nominated, make or break; and Douglas is broken ia the act of breaking up the party. ‘ Tas SapsaTa Comsrrseanp THE CENTRO Parx Comaussionens.—That body of pious. Pu~ ritans, seMf-created and self-styled “ the Sabbathe Committee,” have addressed a long communi- cation to the Commissioners of the Central Park, officiously dictating to them the discipline which they shall establish in the Park on Sun- Inasmuch as the Commissioners of the Central Park have not only been aetuated by a right and just spirit in the management of the affairs of the Park, but have succeeded in con- ducting them in a manner conducive to the greatest amount of public enjoyment within their power, and to the eatire satisfaction of the people, this interference ou the part of tha “Sabbath Committee”—an irresponsible and unauthorized body—is, to say the least of it, gratuitous, if not offensive. ‘The Central Park Oommissioncrs b» ve afforded our citizens, of every class, means of recreatfon of a healthy, and clevating and refining charac- ° ter never enjoyed before in this metyopolis. They have given an example of police disci- pline which might serve as a model for larger communities, Ato period of the year, or un- der no circumstances, have disorder or riot, or anything “to offend or corrupt the public con- science”—to use the language of the Sabbata- rian Committee—been permitted within the precincts of the Park. The Commissioners. we take it, and their subordinate officials, under- stand their duties perfectly well, and require no meddling or dictation from the “Sabbath Committee” as to the mode in which order and decency shall be preserved within the limits of the Park. : The paramount fear which seems to haunt these pious gentlemen is, that our foreign bora population, which includes the hardest worked class in the community, should have any en- joyment on Sunday—their only day of rest— and they express a prospective horror at the idea that any amusements or refreshments “in- ducing to the enjoyment of secular pastimes” — even boating on the lakes—may be permitted on that day, and thus “afford the warrant of o high example for a general desecration of sacred time.” Now, thie great mess of our people to whom the Central Park is to be the great elevator and civilizer, which is to tempt them out of the sloughs of vice and contamination in which the city abounds, can never enjoy tho charms of nature and art which it presents on any day except Sunday; and are the recreations and re- freshments which are afforded to the wealthy, the comfortable, and, let ns ad, the pious part of the community, on every 4ay in tho week, to bo shut off from the poor hard worked me- chanic and laborer om their only day of rest enjoyment? ar adeno fear that the Contmaesoniers will corer sanction any demoralizing plearures in the Park on Sanday or any other day; and thus we consider this eddrers of the “Sabbath Commit.
