THE TRIAL. Tn the trial of the assassination conspirators yesterday Some very important evidence was produced by the prosecution rolative to the burning by rebel agents of national army hospitals and steamboats on the Western and Southwestern waters engaged in carrying troops and army supplies. Edward Frazer, a resident of St; Louis, testified in regard to these matters, giving the names of the in- cendiariea, who had authorizations for their work from Ricumond, and who were also members of the Order of American Knights. Frazer also gave the names of tho steamers which had been burned by these men. For burning the army hospital at Nashville, Tenn., in the 1864, one commissioned rebel incendiaries, a man named Dillingham, pre- sented claim to the rebel government in Richmond. Frazer stated that he was in Rich- mond in August, 1864, in company with bome of thease rebel agents, and had conferences with Jeff. Davis, Benjamin, his Secretary of State, and Seddon, Secretary of War, in regard te these incendiary operations., One of (ho claims for steamboat burning was seftled by Ben- femin for fifty thousand dollars. Davis wanted the Dborners to take thirty thousand dollars for their job; but thoy would not. Witnesses were produced by the defence for the pur- pow of showing that Dr. Mudd had expressed regret at the President's assassination; that Atzerott was a coward, and therefore not likely to be engaged in such a plot, and that Daniel J. Thomas and Marcus P, Norton, two witnesses for the government, were not to be be- hevea. year of these his THE SITUATION.

In addition to the regular rosidonts and visitors at that popular resort, the people of the entire surrounding country appeared to have flocked in to get a view and shake the hand of tho nation’s great military chieftain. The veteran Lieutonant General Scott, as a mark of particu. ar respect to his younger but distinguished foldier confrere, donned his full military dress, and Btood on the porch of his hotel awaiting the arrival of General Grant.

The Maria came in first, the Magic second, and the Annic third—the two last winning the prizes, the Maria’s excess of tonnage giving the advantage to the Magic. The wind was light and variable all day. The distance of the course was about forty miles, but some of the yachts must have gone nearer sixty. Yesterday was another very hot day, The mercury in the thermometer, in the shade, stood at eighty-cight de- grees at noon, and at four o'clock in the afternoon at eighty-six.

The political. gathering at the Cooper Insti- tute on Wednesday evening was one of the most @ingular domonstrations knowm in the history of public meetings in this city. It was started for the purpose of glorifying cer- tain politicians, but resulted in their being completely extinguished. It was called under the pretence of endorsing President Johnson, but, as the sequel shows, with the real intention of dictating a policy to him. In this they were most decidedly defeated. The whole thing, in fact, was the first public movement of tho Chase politicians in this city since the close-of the rebellion, and the commencement of another chapter in the game which Secretary (now Chief Justice) Chase attempted to play on President Lincoln during his administration. These-poli- ticians, under the lead of Mr. Grinnell, seized upon. the opportunity to steal’ march upos the other wing of the party by holding the frst Johnson meeting, and proving tothe G that the Custom House was the great political power in New York. They supposed that it was important to-prove this point; in the-first Place, in order that they might maintain their positions, and, in the second place, to obtain, if possible, the control of President Johnson's administration. In order that the meeting might be successful in point of num- bers a committee was sent to Washington to invite General Grant and other war-worn vete- rans to be present. This was intended simply as an advertising dodge—just as the showman secures some new lion to attract attention and draw a crowd. It appears that the committee-had considera- ble trouble in drawing General Grant into their movements. He at first refused to see them, and did not wish to have anything to. do with political meetings. The committee, in their perplexity, called on the President for relief. They found Mr. Johnson so much ab- sorbed in his reconstruction of the Southern States that he had no time to pay any attention to movements of the politicians in the North. They, however, managed to secure a letter from the President to. General Grant, through whieh they obtained an interview with the latter and his consent to attend the meeting, in company with General Logan and other officers. It will, therefore, be scen. that Generals Grant and Logan appeared in New York at the suggestion of the President, which renders their utterances of double importance. The hour fixed for the meeting arrived, and with it @ crowd aroundithe Cooper Institute. of all classes, such as is seldom seen in that lo- cality. The politicians imagined that their cup of glory was tull, and at once proceeded to organize. This accomplished, a series of reso- lutions was presented, but the audience evi- dently did not care anything about. the re- solves; for they kept up a confusion, calling for the generals during the reading. The read- ing of the resolutions was hurried through, nobody understanding their purport, much less .caring what they contained, They were at once adopted, more for the purpose of getting them out of the way, that General Grant might be presented, than anything else. The Chicago platform, or any other prepos- terous resolutions, would have been adopied just as readily as those which were presented. The people gathered there were intent on see- ing Grant, and were anxious to get all superfin- ous rubbish out of the way aa soon as possible. They did not stop to consider whether the reso- lutions reflected upon Mr. Johnson’s policy of reconstruction and negro suffrage or not. If they had, it would have been impossible for them to have told what the rpsolutions con- tained on those points. If there was any doubt as to the temper and object of the audience, that doubt must have been removed by the reception of those poli- ticians who attempted to address them. The moment that Mr. Dickinson commenced his speech there was a universal demand for Grant. Scriptural Dick ranted, scolded, quoted poetry, tried to be comical and then mournful, but it was of no use. He was compelled to give way to General Grant, who was received with in, describable enthusiasm. One of the orators of the occasion declared that it was no use to attempt to speak as long as the soldiers were on the platform, and General Grant was imme- diately taken out of the back door. Dickinson then endeavored to conclude his speech, but the people refnsed to listen, and called for Logan, Mr. Dickinson finally gave up in despair, made way for the heroes of the war, and saved the balance of his speech for some other occasion. General Logan adopted every possible device to avoid making a speech, but @ speech they would have. When he com- menced, instead of the confusion which greeted the politicians, he was listened to with marked attention, and every word that he uttered care- fully weighed. Instead of following the theory marked ont in the resolutions, which were ex- preasly worded to dictate # policy on reconstruc- tion and negro suffrage to President Johnson, he boldly announced the President's real policy on those points. He refuted the theories of the radicela, and was applauded to the encore at every siep. There were, it is true, one or two feeble attempts on the part of the politicians to hiss, but they were immediately frowned down. The reception which he received proved con- clusively that he spoke the sentiments of the people. The resolutions they refused to listen to, while they paid the closest attention to every word that General Logan uttered. His speech, therefore, and not the resolutions represents the sentiments of the meeting. In short, the politicians attempted to glorify them- selves and dictate a policy to President John- son under the shadow of our military beroes, But it resulted in their being completely foiled in the latter—totally eclipsed and lost sight of in the enthusiasm for the generals, President Jobnson’s policy was fully endorsed in spite of the politicians; and their radical resolves ignored. Never were schemes of politicians so disastrously spoiled, or the policy of » chief magistrate so emphatically approved. The managers of the demonstration saw their mor- tifying defeamt and the dilema in which they had placed themselves, and were glad to adjourn as soon as possible. The President, in sending Generals Grant and Logan here, checkmated the Chase radicals in their schemes at their own meeting, and oxtinguishod thom in this localitw. ‘The In of our Bucress im Prance.* ‘Tie results of the war are net to be confined to this side the Atlantic.

And thia influence will be felt go strongly that it -will originate an intellectual revolution. This influence will be felt on every political ques- tion and in the whole social life of the people. The entire-upheaval of Europe ‘in the thirty years war, the changes brought abont by the French Revolution, were not more great and positive than will be the intellectual, world- wide revolution due to this struggle. Already the keener spirits are preparing to take this tide-in the affgirs of men in the hope, to rise with it, They feel’ that the-old ques, tions are done withy and. that’ there are new. ideas in men’s is. Candidates for popular: favor aro excellent barometers of ‘popular, thought, and their conduct'will tell'to a nicety: the exact feeling on any given topic. One ofthe most remarkable of these just now is the Prince Napoleon. The influence on this gentleman of the-settlement of the questions involved in the war threatens to cause-a schism in: the im- perial dynasty. Some time ago a monument was erected at Ajaccio, in Corsica; tothe first Napoleon. It was uncovered with some cere- monies, and the Prince Napoleon was: the ora- tor of the occasion. His address was appro- priate, dealing with the career and’ achieve- ments of the great founder of the family. He naturally alluded to the sale of Louisiana to the United States, and this induced’ the con- sideration of American questions, and the rela- tions between the two countries.. He repro- sented the first Napoleon—a man of the great- est political wisdom—as ready to maite immense concessions, and ever sacrifices, to preserve the friendship of the United States, and de- clared' that they were “narrow minds” who did not see the wisdom of such @ course. By this means he contrasted the greatness of one Na- poleon in relation to Louisiana with the short- sighted: blunders of another Napoleon in rela- tion to Mexico; and though the contrast was only implied, it was none the less clear. He referred to. the fact that one of the commission- ers for the purchase of Louisiana was “Mr. Monroe, the celebrated stateaman who has given his name to the doctrine propeunding the prin- ciple that the governments of Europe must hold no possessions in North America;” and he closed by a reference to the United States as “the most liberal and the most respected Power of any in the world.” For all this he was censured by Napoleon, and on the receipt of the letter of censure immediately resigned his position as president of the conacil of regency appointed to govérn France in the absence ot the Emperor. He resigned with the alacrity of 4 man who thinks leas of what goes than of what comes. He gave up some empty honors, and seized at once the leadership of all that is enlightened, liberal and progressive in France. He gave up a tradition and seized a reality. He is per- secuted for a few words spoken in favor of « people who have fought for popular govern- ment, and he becomes the leader of a people who sympathize with that cause. He will head them in a crusade against the government on the American question; and thus we see re- peated once more in France a singular fact, that has been seen in more than one popular sirag- gle. The position that Prince Napoleon now holds is historical. rom the Gracchi to Mira- beau the leaders of the people have come from the ranks of their enemies. Philip Egalité held this position before the Prince Napoteon. He threw himself on the popular side and opposed the throne for the sake of the suceession; and since Prince Napoleon does the sume now we may aceept the fact as his deliberate jndg- ment that the influence of our triumph will be 80 great in France that there may be a change of rulers, and so a chance tor ambitious aspi- rants. Sournenn Rraurs—With the extinction of the Inte would-be Southern confederacy we are getting some new illustrations of Southern rights from the rebel leaders and their trum- peters. The late rebel Governor Vance, of North Carolina, for instance, with the downfall of his protector and patron saint, Jeff. Davis, issued his proclamation to the people of the State under the new order of things, just as if, according to Southern rights, his authority un- der Davia was beyond the reach of the author- ity of the Prosident of the United States. Tho late rebel Governor Magrath, of South Oaro- lina, of course proceeded upon the same theo- ry; but both these expounders of Southern rights have since had their conceit pretty thor- oughly taken out of them. They have found out that the Southern rights for which thoy fought through their rebellion have gone down with the rebellion; that, having eaten their cake, they muat digest it, But they have still a number of followers whose impudence calls for the aame remedy. The case of a rebel edi- tor, for example, who is as coolly transplanted from a rebel journal at Richmond to a rebel organ in New York—as if Southern rights under Jeff. Davis had absorbed the North- ern States by conquest—onght to be looked into. Otherwise we may next find the terrible Toombs calling the roll of his slaves on the steps of the City Hall, the rebel Generals Lovell and Gustavus Smith claiming their old corporation offices in this city, Breckinridge demanding the post held by General Dix, and Jeff. Davis himself setting himself up as a can- didate for the Presidency on the platform of Southern rights, the payment of bis Southern confederacy debts, and the repudiation of those contracted by the Union in the late war against “Southern rights.’” New York Orry anp tae New Yore Orry Democracy.—New York city, with its money, ita shipyards, its ships, and its soldiers and sailors, has been the strong right arm of the government in the suppression of the rebellion. Hence the efforta of the rebel leaders to destroy this city by such remorseless contrivances aa bloody insurrections and organized banda of incendiaries. Now York is @ democratic city by an cvorwhelming majority, aod from her democratic masses have been drawn the bulk of tho two handred thousand soldiera and aailore which tho olty bas contributed to put down therebellion. But wimt can we.say in behalf of the leadess of these loys] and patriotic dewocratie masses ae patriotic mea? Nothing. ‘These copperhead leaders of the Tammany, Mozart ond*Gunther thotions; from their sym- pathies anPafiliasioas with Jef— Davis and his agents and emissaries,.have: brought defeat and disgrace upon their party, whem they might have had victory, pewer and! glory as sup- porters of tho war for the Union. They failed in dénoun@ing the war as a fail- ure, and they are disgraced for their cffurts to make it a faifare. Now tlie masses of the party ought to cast these false leaders: aside, turn them all adrift—Tammany, Mozart and Gunther sachems—and reorganize the party vpon anew | platform, with» new: men and’ new principles.

Whe Effect of Our Peace im Furope. ‘The nows fromEurope reiative to the manner in which the question. of indemnity for the pira- cies of the rebe? steamer Alabams on our mer- ehant marine -wae-treated im the British Parlia- ment by Lord Palmerston shows the effect which the triumphant termination of the war is likely to produce upom: the-poliey of foreign Powers towards this government. Without entering now upon the: possible issue of the pending negotiations in: this-affair, which Lord Palmer- ston assures us: are: conducted on the “most friendly and amicable terms,” we cannot help remarking thet; the: results of the recent war, now so: gloriously coneluded, will have as marked an effect on Europe as on this country in the reconstruction and reorganization of parties, the dawn: of new iieas, the assertion of new or revived principles, and the shaping of the policies: of governments towards the | people. The success and permanency of democratic government, just established under the most’ trying. circumstances, will infuse fresh life! into the. democratic element in Europe, will strengthen. the popular mind, and crowned? heads must govern their domestic policy, aceordingly.. In their dealings with foreign nations, and cspecially with this country, it effect will be still more distinct. England bas now an opportunily of making: amends for alt the d»mage done to our com merce: by the spoliations of the rebel picates fitted: ont, armed and manned in her ports; and permitted to sail thence to prey upom the merchant ships of a country with which she wae at peace. ‘The consciousness of our ability to compel an equitable adjusiment of our-cinims will very probably ensure a satisfactory arrange ment of thet affair at no distant day. England has also a chance to form an entente cordiale with auch a powerful ally asthe United States against France in insisting upon carry- ing out ber own Canning-Monroe- docivine, as laid down by the former ststesmar fo Mr. Rush, and demanding, in conjunction with.our govern- ment, the removal of Maximilian from Mexico. This, of courae, Prosident Johuson will feel bound to require. A Mexican: empire with a European ruler at ita head is #aenomaly which cannot be sanctioned. The suppression of a republican government ou Ameriean soil by foreign arms is hostile to the-spifit of our insti- tutions; and though it was: permitted to be attempted while we were engaged in a greai domestic war, ita consuramation will not be submitted ‘o now that wo-are at peace. There- fore it will be but a graceful and most oppor- tune act on the part of Mngland to unite with us in demanding from France the withdrawal of the Austrian Emperor from Mexico, with ali his foreign hordes and royal state. in many other respects, the reaulis of our glo- rious peace will work marvellous changes in the: policy, foreign and domestic, of the Europeans nations.
