But it matters little to what clase (he criminais belong if they are allowed 10 soam abroad and put the liver and property of the citizens in constant peril. That is the important point to whieh we would draw atten- tion, There if a very significant fact in con- nection with these crimes, and thai is that in nine ont of ten of the reports we find the extra- ordinary addendum tuat they are commited by persons “well known to the police.” If this be so why are these “weil known” rui- flane permitied to remain at large? Why are they not in Sing Sing, where they can knock down and beat mo one but their fellow ruflans? If they are so well known to the polive it must be because they are habituel crimin and how does it hap- pen that they haye not been arrested tor some of their many crimes and inoarcerated? it speaks very badly for the vigilance of the police that the city should be infested with | cal agitation in the new issue of negro suffra: Jide toye _ the knife or pistol, while they are known to be Profesional highwaymen and burglars, as it *npeare they are.

It is ‘all the same; and it is very poor consolation after a man is knocked down, kicked, beaten insensible and robbed, to be told that it was done by @ fellow “well known to the police.” The conclusion we some to from the repetition of these outrages is that our police system is rotten. We trust that the Commissioners will look after it. a Phe Political Revolution—The Ruling Party ot the Future. The leaders and managing politicians of ovr two presidential parties of 1864 are all at sea. The absolute failure of the peace-at-any-price copperheads and their Chicago platform, that “the war is a failure,” has left the Northern democracy in the condition of a dishanded army, watching and “waiting for something to turn up.” The prosecution of the war to the suppression of the rebellion and. the abolition of slavery, the great issues upon which Abra- ham Lincoln was re-elected, being thoroughly accomplished, the republican party is also left | without a platform, and thus the materials which in. November last adhered to that party |. “aro likewise in -a transition state, ‘The mission’ of this party being fulfilled, it is substantially in the same:condition as the party whose policy has been utterly overthrown and buried among the dead things of the past, The republican policy to be pursued in the restoration of the rebellious States with the | return of peace was not foreshadowed in the Baltimore platform beyond its sine qua non of the abolition of slavery. To this extent Presi- | dent Johnson has fulfilled his obligations as a nominee of that convention ; so that, in a strictly party view of the subject, he is now free to take his own course. Only one of tho declarations of said convention to which he was committed remains on the books agains: him, and that is the declaration requiring the removal of the Emperor Napoleon and his pro- tegé, the Emperor Maximilian, from Moxico. | As nobody doubts, however, that President Jobnson in due time will satisfactorily sett this business, it excites no discussion and needs | no argument asa question likely to affect him one way or the other in the reorganization of | parties... But, although elavery being abolished, the slavery question is out of the way, the irrepres- sible negro question ins new shapo has sialkod upon the stage as the master of ceremonies in this work ofa new formation of par- ties. The leadtag radicals of the aboliti school, who were e@ continual torment to Pre: dent Lincoln in their efforis to drive him be- yond the landniarks of passing events andthe lights of developing public opinion, will not be content to “let weil enough alone.’ They have found a new theme for an exciting politi- on in the reorganization of the rebei Siat iy | President Johnson, taking his cue from the | federal constitution, has adopted a policy of |... the blacks of | eaid States from the suffrage in this great | work.

He will have nded to the work of State reorgan‘za‘for resis’ the application of every State for a readmission to Congress. Upon this issue the radical elements of tho ublican party are rapidly gathering ar jo?

But his resolute and decl- re} sive character and the advantages of his posi. ton will reader hiia a fur more formidable cus- tomer thus to deel with than Captain Tyler.

Fenians—Carrying, the War ante Africa. ‘We published the other day, for the,ediflea- of my Lord Palmerston, he Dritich nation the readers of the Herary in both hémis- pheres, an analytical, historical and highly in- toresting synopsis of the great Fenian organiza- tion which is to pat an ond to British rule in Ireland, place “ihe green above the red” and ake the Emerald Isle the Eastern State of the great repubiic.

And we bave still one or two hundred thonsand more of Africa’s swarthy sons to do the work allotted to them in these marvellous times—to wipe out the last vestige of the slave trade, to substitute Christi. anity for fotichism and to obliterete the human sacrifices and other “grand customs” of Deho- mey, substituting for them ‘evon a rude imita- tion of the religion, the laws, tho agriculiure and the social sciences of civilized life.

Our National Finances and the Gold Question. ‘There ia a vast amount of popular miscon- ception regerding the condition and prospects of the public finances, which nothing but pro- longed experience will, in all probability, be Previous to the rebel- lion we had been so little encumbered with debt and taxation that political’ economy was a neglected scleace among our public men; so that when we found ourselves in the midst of a gigentic war, with enormous expenditures to meet, the government hardly, knew which way to turn for the first fifty millions of dollars. Mr. Chase proposed the Legal Tender act, and it was obsequtonsly passed ‘by Congress, since which time our debt bas gone on increasing at the average rate of more than two millions a day. We have in consequence a national debt of gbout three thousand millions, with a large amount ‘of claifis’still to “he adjusted, and our current expenses exceeding the revenue at nearly the old rate,’ At ‘the same time we’ find* ihat our’ foreign trade was such during the war that we exported from the port of New York alone, between the beginning of 1862 and the end of May of the present year, $164,764,174 more of gold and silver than we imported. How much remains in the country it is difficult to estimate exactly, but it is probable that the amount is much less than is generally supposed, and doeg not exceed sixty-five millions in all the States under the operation of the Legal Tender act, North and South, including boards. This drain of specie has been owing to the. decline in our exporis consequent upon the withdrawal of labor from productive pursuits to the army end navy. With re- gard to the cotton trade, the supply in the Southern country, cast and west of the Missis- sippi, is estimaied to be jess than a million of pales by professed)y competent judges, and the crop of the present year at about three bundred and fitty thousand baies, The crop of 1366 is as yet a maiter of uncertainty, owing to the ebange in the system of labor and the disorgani- zation or absence of capital, Yet under these conditions of the country, with an. interne) revenne which produces little more than two hundred millions a year, thero are many who wonder what keeps up the price of gold. They overlook the fact that the so-called balance of trade is ai present against us, and | tha’ we can only pay the difference by shipping gold or securities, But the Jatter are oaly a temporary substitute for the other, and we are exposed to the davger of having them sud- denly returned to us at any time, while those which remain abroad till maturity will then bave to be recvemed in gold, and thus the foreign holders will reap a profit which m‘ght bave been secured to our own people. How far political agitation of the financiai question hezeafter may infu- ence the return of five-twenties remains to be seen; but that it will not contribute to the ap- preciation of the currency is more than proba- Wie. Meanwhile specie, which is already 80 scaree in the country, will gradually hocome more so till we havo fll crops North and South For thisreason among others, there- : fore, the banks of this city which bave gold lodged with them by their customers should keep it in their vaults, and not speculate with Joan ib lo speculators; and they should, fur- i thermore, not make ‘a pretence, as they do kiy, of having more gold than they really | have—for the time may como when they will of thonsends and millious of peacefal | ho, ODUnIE. tones ae se oke nenyorionee The vasi resources of tke country will, afier due time, enable us to so far increase our sup- piy of specie that we can resume coin pay- ments with a comparatively jight commercial shock to the conntry; but ‘here will be danger at some futnre time of a panic and resump- lion ef specie payments arising from the very searcity of specie in the country; in which case the resumption wiil be premature and the shock disasirous, a3 i, woud involve » heavy depregiation, of all paper money noi converti- bio into gold, and bring down the prices of government aad other svourities in a manner which would prove rufnovs to a large portion of the people.

The President Can See No Reason for Granting Their Request. A PLORIDA DELEGATION IN THE FIRLD, , &e., ken, > &o. Wastaxotos, July 9, 1865. A VIRGINIA DELEGATION SHRKING THE REVOOATION OF TUR TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLAR EXCEPTION. President Johnson was waited on yesterday by Mogsrs. James A. Jones, R.A. Lancaster,Wm, H, Haxalland J, L. Apperson, representatives of merchants and others of Virginia, who wished him to amend the amnesty pro- clamation by striking out the thirteenth exception—the twenty thousand dollar clatise. They represented that this foature interfered with the development of industry by binding up capital, and in this way oppressed tho ‘poor, and that when they endeavored to borrow money +) in the Northern or Middle States they were at once met + by the objection that perhaps they had over. twonty thousand dollars, and, if they had, the accommodation could not be extended, so that they wero unable to give work to the poor men who called upon them, &o. The Parapet reminded them that the amnesty pro- clamation did not causo this distrust; it was the commin sion of treason and the violation of law that did it. The amnesty proclamation left these, men just whero they -wore before—it did not. add any disability to them. If they had committed treason they ‘were amenable tothe ° confiscation law which Congress had passed, and which bo, as President, could not alter nor amond. In the amnesty proclamation he had offered pardon to some persons, but that did not injure any other persons. Would they like to have the amnesty proclamation re- moved? Would they foe! any easier in that case? ‘ A Durncate—No; but it would assist us vory mach if you would extend the benefits of the: proclamation ta porsons worth over twenty thousand doliars. ‘The Presipeyt replied that in making that exception, ho had acted on the natural supposition that men had aided the rebellion according to the extent of their pecu- nary means, Did they not know (his? A Drincate—No, I did not know it. The Presipewt--Why, yes, you do. You know per- fectly well it was the wealthy men of the South who dragooned the people imto secossion. I lived in the South, and I know how the thing vas done, Your Stato was overwhelmingly opposed to secesmon; but your.rich, men used the press and bullies, and your little army, to force the State into eecession, Take the twenty thousand: dollar clause. Suppose a man is worth more than that now the war is over, and the chances are ten to one that he made it out of the rebellion by contracts, &c. We might as well talk plain!y about this matter. I don’t think you aye 99 very anxious abont relieving the poor, ‘You want this clause remfbyed #0 as to be able to maka moaey, don’t you? If you arevery eager to /help the poor, why don’t you take the surplus over the twont? thonsand dollaty you own, and give it to them? In that way you wil! belp thom, and bring yourselves witht the benefits of the proclamation. 4 am free to say to you that i think some of you ought to be taxed on all over } twenty thousand dollare to-heip the poor. When I waa Military Governor of Tennessee I assereed such taxes om those who had been wealthy leaders of the rebellion, and it Lad a good effect. | A Detxoate—It ao happens that none of us were lead- ers.
