Mr, Fessenden'’s Appointment—-The Treapucy and the Cabtnet—Prestdent Lincoln ana the Senate, Very much, no doubt, to the astonishment ot President Lincoln, in the matter of the reor- ganization of the Cabinet, the Senate bas com- pletely flanked him, and proved itself master of the situation. Upon the test question of the appointment of ex-Governor Tod, of Ohio, for the Treasury, es a substitute for Mr. Chase, this point bas been settled, Tod was a blunder, which instantly resulted in a waraiug to Abra- bam Lincoln that the Baltimore nomination had not given him full license to do as he pleased, but that there was still in the Senate “a power behind the throne greater than the throne itself.” This is a good lesson, well applied. Mr. Lincoln’s unconditional surrender to the Sen- ate visiting committee proves it. Mr. Feasen- den ig not his man, but the man f the Senate. This important point galned—the Malakoff which overlooks the Cabinet—the President and bis Premier are as impotent against the Senate as was Prince Gortsobakoff agains‘ the Allies when they had gained tho key to Sebastopol. The Senate may now say to the President, we demand a re- organization of the Cabinet upon the basis of the Baltimore platform—a new and ‘consistent Cabinet, that will be a unit—and “Father Abra- ham” will have to meet the requisition. We have no doubt that the hesitation of Mr, Fessen- den in accepting the Treasary is connected with some determination on the part of the Senate to secure otber ministerial changes, while they have this business in hand. We think it altogether probable, too, as the ground has been broken, and a decisive vic- tory gained over Mr. Seward and his clique, that be and the Blairs, and Madame Bates will next be compelled to walk the plank. A three years’ war between the Chase clique and the Seward clique {s brought to this com- plexion at last; and the position of the Pre- mier, after ousting his adversary, is hardly bet- ter than that of General Lee behind his in- trenchments at Petersburg. But what of the bungling and blundering Secretary of War, Stanton, and that incom- petent old sleepy head, Grandmother Welles, of the navy? Are they to remain where they aret Let President Lincoln answer. He may not only satisfy the Senate, but the country— the masses of the people of all parties—through a complete reconstruction of his Cabinet, from Premier to Attorney General, including Gen. McClellan in the place of Stanton and Admiral Dupont in the place of Welles. A Cabinet re- formation embracing these desirable changes would at once clear the track to Mr. Lincoln, and secure him a smooth and overwhelming re- election. As the contest now stands the re- maine of the old democracy are in a disordered, discordant and broken up condition, and the Fremont radical democratic independent move- ment isa mere make-believe, which, although “full of sound and fury, signifies nothing.” The fusion of all these entagonistic elements against the administration will be a difficult thing; but it may yet be acvomplished, should Prestdent Lincoln fall back upon the unfortu- nate idea that he may safely undertake to defy the demands of the Senate and the country. Let DIM pe W7rned OF tos Gavger, uuu BYOIU it; for thus the way will be fairly opened be- fore him fer another term, with an all power- ful party behind him, Meantime let the new Secretary of the Treasury stcer clear of the shoals and quicksands upon which Mr. Chase has been shipwrecked. Let him act resolutely to reduce, and not to increase, his paper money issues ; let him bear iu mind that in contract- ing a new debt to puy an old one he does not settle the bill, and that promises to pay must be met, and the country will bear him through. We expect great things to follow this retire- ment of Mr. Chase from the Treasury; for wo regard it as a most favorable opening for a wholesome reformation of things at Washing- ton, even under the present administration. Tae Heavtra of THe MerTrorouis ado THE Lets or a Paraberruta Parer.—Elsewhere will be found stutistics of the mértality in four of the leading cities in the Union for the first five months of the present year. From these figures it will be seen that the city of New York stands firat on the list in regard to the healtbfulness of Its citizene, Boston the worst, and Philadelphia next to the“ Hub of the Universe.” This official sintement, proving that New York is the healthiest city of the Union, has, it appears, aroused the wrath of the editor of a eeveu-by-nine medical paper in ibe City of Brotherly Love. He bas been mak- ing a desperate effort for some time past to prove that the records of mortality of thie city are not correctly kept, and that the lerge per- centage of deaths in Philadelphia over this clty is secounted for by that fact. The editor was challenged to examine the records and furnish one instance of their error or omission in the records ‘of deaths in this metropolis. He visited this city; but, instead of availing himself of the opportunity to satisfy him- self as to the correctness of the official records, as urged to do, he placed himself under the charge of some of the office-seeking doctors in the interest of the humbug Citizens’ Reform Association, took thelr diatribes as truth, re- turned home and gave their loose statements as correct. It is well known that certain men, boasting the title of M. D., have been labor- ing for several years past, through special legislation at Albany, to foist themselves upon thie city in some official capacity. To accom- plish this they have constantly made all man- ner of wild statements in regard to the héalth of the city, which bave invariably been dis- proved by the officlal records, and their schemes defeated. They have not been able to find any paper in this city to publish thelr state. ments, and, asa last resert, have formed on alliance with ap unbeard of sheet in the City of Brotherly Love. The editor, like all Philadel hians, gladly seizes this opportunity to ex- hibit Lis jealousy by defaming New York. In doing this he praises the Citizens’ Association, which is the machine now used by these stary- ing office-seeking doctors through which they hope to ride into power. The fact of the matter is thnt more pals and labor and better care are taken to make the records of this city perfect than In any other city of the Union. The offorts of the office-seeking doctors in our midst, and their allies in Philade!pbia, only react upen ths In. stigators and Increase the gieZiet of our citi- zens. Natnre bas made ths one of the health. lest points to the eopntry, gpd the soreheads hed better Conse trying to kick against the Pricks, and, instead of iaborlag to defame tha city, seek some legitimate business by which to earn thélr bread and butter. The Da Question. The Conference held in London to settle, if possible, the vexing questions between Den- mark and Germany had not, at latest dates, efMfvoted aught continuation of the armis- tice. The Prussian journals lay stress upon the fact that Prossia agreed to the prolonga- tion of the armistice merely to gratify neutral Powers, and state that this is the last conces- sion Prussia can or will make. In fact, the tone of the German papers {is such as to cause fears that peace is not likely to be made. The German Powers insist on the separation of both the duchies from Denmark and the formation of a new, independent State, under the rule of the Duke of Augustenburg. The neutral Powers propore the cession of part of Schleswig and all of Holstein. It is asserted, however, that France is in favor of allowing the people of Schteswig to determine what their destiny shall be; bat Prussia and Austria are averse toany such course. With all these conflicting views to conciliate, the task of the Conference is an arduous one—all the more go as the Danes are roused to a state of fury and advocate war to the last. In England the feeling in favor of Denmark is growing stronger, and, should a change of ministry take. place, there can be but little doubt that a great effort would be made to in- duce Napoleon to join England in maintaining Devmark against united Germany. What the success of such a move would be remains shrouded in doubt. It is asserted that France refused to co-operate with England in making 8 naval demonstration in German waters, and, from the tone of the semi-official organs of the French government, it may be concluded that “perfide Albion” will be left to fight it out unaided if she draws the sword for Denmark. Lord Palmerston, who would most likely give way to popular sentiment on this Danish ques- tion, and protect the weaker party at all hazards, has bis hands tied, it is alleged, by the determined opposition of the Queen, whose prejudices are all in favor of Germany. The | English people, with whom the Queen is now less popular, feel that the honor of England demands a bold courae in aid of Denmark; and this feeling is strengthened by the increasing attachment of the masses to the young and beautiful Princess of Wales, the future Queen of Great Britain. Urged on by popular will, and held back by his sovereign, the Premier is in a most perplexing dilemma. Hence the rumor of a obange of ministry, it being supposed that such a change would inaugurate war policy. The Emperors of Russia, Austria and the King of Prussia were to meet at Kissingen for the purpose, according to popular impression, of settling in some manner the Polish and Davish questions. The London papers, in noticing this meeting, assert that the different European questions are so linked with one another that undue prossure In one instance may cause trouble in other directions. This is @ monace as regards Poland, Hungary and Italy. Itis feared, probably, in England, that the imperial and royal meeting bodes no good to the Danish question. To resume the posi- tion of affairs in Europe as at our latest dates, the probabilities of a renewal of the Danish war were very great, with every appearance cout Digiwuu WUUIE Lave te sid Denmark, on stand confessedly before the world as shorn of power and influence. The attitude of France was strictly neutral, Austria and Prussia seem- ing desirous of war, with every show on the part of Russia of a desire to side With her Ger- man partners in the usurpation of Poland. It may thus readily be understood that the re- sumption of the Danish war menaces the peace of Europe, as all the great Powers are likely to be drawa into the quarrel. Tue Gotp Brt.—The mischievous and silly Gold bill has been repealed after an existence of just ten days. It became a law on the 20th ultimo. No more severe commentary could be made on the character of our national legisla- tion than the simple statement of the history of tiis bill. In that history we see a deliberative body convicted by its own acknowledgment of the most reckless meddling with affsirs that it did not understand, and that it would not take the trouble to study. We see a collection of wnen—gathered promiscuously from lawyers’ offices, farms and shops—deranging the com- merce of the country, merely because some one has told them that their fiat was more pow- erful than the laws that commerce lives by— just as some fool told Canute that his command was superior to the law of natare that compelled the tide to rise. Buch events as this humiliate Congress and the country In the eyes of all civilized men. Legislators always were and always will be sufficiently foolish and disposed to do too much. Some wholesome restraint upon this tendency of lawmakers is absolutely necessa- ry, and the best restraint is that of modesty. Englishmen are not proverbially modest; but the system of the Eoglish Parliament is excel- lent in this respect. By that system itis as- sumed that a man does not become possessed of the whole range of human knowledge the moment that he becomes a member of Parlia- ment. On the contrary it Is assumed that he has no knowledge at all, or very little. As a consequence of this assumption # is the custom, when a new law on any important sub- ject is proposed, for Parliament to appoint a commission to get knowledge on the subject. This commission has before it every one likely to be affected by the law. It hears what they have to say, takes the testimony of all familiar with the matter, and accumulates all the real knowledge of the subject that is accessible and ‘embodies it in a report. We have a large num- ber of these reports in our library, monuments of the industry of English legislators. Such reports are made the basis ef the law required, and laws #0 made never have to be repealed in ten days after. We commend this system to Congress, which, in the light of its recent ex- perience, must now be ready to admit that there is at least one aubject that it does not know all about. Tua Mvppie or THe Orrosition Coxaress- Men.—The representatives of the democratic party in Congress are in @ docided muddle and hardly know where they stand. About baker's dozen follow the lead of Vallandigham and Fernando Wood for peace on any terms, and the balance are for suppressing the rebel- lion by force of arms. In this plight they are watching and waiting for the Chicago Oonven tion, utterly at a loss as to what they will do at that gathering. Now that President Linooly has commenced remodelling his Cabinet, be can make a ten strike by placing General MoUlel- lan at the head of the War Department and some live man in sleepy Gideon’s place in the Navy Napsrtment. In pursuing « atep like this he will again secure the confidence of the peo- ple and cause @ general desertion of the Chi- cago Conventi A Onanon or Misisrey Exrgoren mm Ewya- LAND.—The latest advices from Europe go to ehow that the Palmerston Ministry is likely to break up on the Danish question. It 1s sup- posed that as @ result the Derby party will ob- tain power, and that the policy of the English government will then be warlike. The friends of Davis, as well as his European sympathizers, suppose that the Derbyites would act with France fn recognizing the Southern confedera- cy, as the prominent members of this party are known to be in favor of such a move, We do not believe that any such event will take place, as, once in power, the Derby party will wish to retain their places, and are well aware thata war with us would be unfavorably viewed by the masses. England may, under the guidance of Lord Derby, go to war with Germany on account of Denmark; but even this we deem highly improbable, as John Bull has evideutly great fears of engaging in any struggle, lest France should selze the occasion to pay off the Waterloo grudge. John Bull knows that the entente cordiale is very weak, and that he cannot count upon it. He also is well aware that we should like nothing better than to equip several hundred privateers and cut up his commerce, and he will keep out of all danger of a war with us. Davis need ex- pect no aid from that quarter. Palmerston or Derby, it will be all the same to the so-called confederacy. Tae Last or tHe Iron-Crans Lavncery.— The second and last of the so-called ocean iron- clads was launched yesterday. Those who were present at the ceremony witnessed the finale of the glory and magnitude of the great Monitor interest. Now that we have all the iron-clad rafts needed for harbor defence, let us have some seagoing armored vessels, so that we can carry on war at sea as well as on our coast and in our harbors.

The brave army of G Grant will feel, by the ar. rival of the ateamor Belvidere at City Point, loaded with the choicest vegetables and fruits, that their patriotic services in the gauge of the Union have not been forgot. ten by their friends at home. If the capacity of the vea- sel had been equal to ths patriotism of the people, the gallant boys who have shed fresh lustre on the flag of their country would have been furnished with a suffis clent quantity of the choicest viands to subsist upon for the next three months, The steamer was announced to sail at an early hour yesterday morning; but, owing to the fnet that the treight did not arrive ns fast as was expectod, ber departure was delayed till three o'clock in the a‘ternoon.- Up to that hour upwards of five thousand paokaxes of goods were received, marked “U, 8. G.,”? and were shipped with all possible despatch, as the officers of the veesol as well as the donors were anxious that the foe, should reach their destination in time for tho Fourth. The principal portion of the cargo consisted of omtons, potatoes, turnips, cabbiges und lemons, all of which will be gratefully received by the soldiars, whose heroic courage apd endurance for the pist two months entille them to the over! isting thanks of their fellow citizens. At three o'clock, everything being ready, the Belvidere cast off her moorings, and, amid the cheers and congratu- lations of hundreds of people who bad assembled to wit ness her dearture, she gracefully glided into the river and started on her patriotic mission. To attomps to give a list of ber freight would be merely impossible, as a large portion of it was private contribations, and tho officers of the vessel even could not toll the contents of these packages. The vessel will reach City Point this evening in time to distribute her cargo among the army, who will be enabled to eat their Fourth of July dinner from the ample supply of good things which has been furnished by the people of New York, whose confidence in the noble Army of the Potomac is still unimpaired.
