The despatch from Huntsville, Alabama, of one of the Herp correspondents, giving a vory interesting sketch of the condition of the country and of the present political feeling there, presents a picture in no way flattering to the loyalty, or rather disloyalty, of such of the people of that State as took part in the rebellion. At first, on finding that.all was over with their Southern confederacy, they folt themselves completely humiliated and subjugated, and were loud in their calls on the national government and {ts officers for mercy. But magnanimous treatment appears to bave spoiled them, and they are again be- coming e# overbearing and as imperious in their domands ‘as evor, and now, instead of being con- fonted with privileges, Kaughtlly claim “their rights’? Our correspondent saya that their hatred of the national government is still as intense as ever, and they are determined ¢o control their State in the old secession and rebel interest, They will probably learn the error of their ways before long. Their new Governor, Mr. Par- eons, it appears, has already seen the mistake in this line of conduct. Only about a yweek previous to his appointment, in a speech at Huntsville, ho con- tended that the negroes were not free, as the Emanci- pation Proclamation was only a military measure, und the constitutional amendmont abolishing slavery had mot ye} been ratified by the necessary number of States, and in his opinion would not be. These sentiments ‘were received with immense applause by the people, who for some time after “rolled them as sweet morsels under their tongues,” Governor Parsons has since empbati- cally told them in his proclamation that slavery in their Stato is forever dead.

The Moxican dry ‘bone Amen rattling, and the Mexican dead ha\ ey it credit as genuine what purports to be “@ manifosto of that indefa- tigable old man Santa Anna, issued from his exile on the Island of St. Thomas, This document, though its au- thenticity yet lacks confirmation, bears the marks of emanating from the old chief, since he has ever shown his determination to be mixed up in all the troubles of his country. Having met a rejection of his proffor of fealty from Maximilian on the inauguration of the empire, he has finally, according to thie proclama- tion, after a seclusion of several additional months, put himself again erect on his-one leg, and come out in favor of the republic. He alindes to his early recognth + tion of the empire, and apologizes for it by saying that at the time it appeared to be the best form of govern- ment for the country; but events have shown him the error of this belief; that the national dignity has been contemned,” justice denied, thought enslaved, the most holy rights trodden under foot, prostitution elevated and virtue vilified; and now he calls upon liberals and con- servatives to unite to drive out the invaders, and to joia in the cry of Liberty or Death. The manifesto concludes with the motto, “Down with the Empire! Live the Bib,‘ mip ae Rt, Use Some indication of the & ent of the ptosent traf of Gilt port is contained in the fact that twenty merchant ocean steamships sailed from here yesterday. Of these five were for Europe, four for Now Orleans, two for Charleston, one for Savannah, one for each of the ports of Wilmington, Newbern and Beaufort, N. C., and the others for different places on the Atlantic coast. Seventy- three vessels altogether, of all classes, cleared at this Port yesterday. Of these twenty-three were steamers, two sailing ships, five barks, fourteen brigs and twenty- eight schooners. . ‘The steamship Ocean Queen, Captain Slocum, bolong- ing to the Atlantic Mail Steamship Company’s line, will ‘sail on Tuesday next, August 1, for California, copnecting at Panama with the steamer Golden City. The Occan Queen will sail punctually at noon from the company’s new and commodious pier No. 43 North river, foot of Canal street, This new wharf, which is six hundred feot long and covered with a fine roof, has on one side of it the wharves of the People’s Line of Albany and Troy steamors, and on the other side the wharf of the Inman line of European steamers, all of which are an ornament to the westerly side of tho city as woll as a great conve- nience to travellers, owing to their contiguity to each other. Mr. Joseph Van Doren, a city weigher and guager, was shot and instantly killed about half-past one o'clock yes- terday afternoon, in his office, No. 40 Beaver street. Im- mediately after the report of tho pistol was heard, a man named James F. Oram, who was formerly in tha employ of Mr. Van Doren, but who has recently beon in business for himself, at 61 Broad street, was seon to run out of the place where the shooting occurred, and was pursued, arrested and committed to the station house, on sus- Piciow of being the person who fired the fatal shot. A five barrelled revolver, with two of the barrols dis- charged, was found lying on the floor of Mr. Van Doren’s office. Oram denied having killed Mr, Van Do- ren, but atated that they had had an angry dispute, and that deceased had committed a violent assault on him.

An inquest was yesterday held at 632 Pearl street over tle body of a German named Henry Sante, who committed suicide, while in a deranged state of miud, by hanging himself in his bedroom.

A young man, about twenty-five years of age, named Charles Hider, with a fow aliases, was yesterday arrested and committed in the Essex Market Police Court on charge of having, on pretence of being a tailor desirous of procuring work, received from different clothiers in the city large quantities of goods to make up into gar- ments, which he failed to return. The stock market was lower yosterday, but steady. Governments were dull. Gold declined to 143% 0 144, and closed at that price on the street. Tar Dovetz-Enper Triat.—Mr. Dickerson, to settle with the Navy Department whether the double-ender Algonquin is better or worse than other ships of her class, built by different makers, proposed a trial which should bring that vessel “into comparison with one of her class under the same conditions.” He chal- longed to atrial by an open race over a given course, each ship to carry the same amount of coal, and the two to run until the coal of one ship should be exhausted, and that ship then } to be towed in by the other. This would have been @ spirited affair, and would have fixed very distinctly in the popular mgd wi was the victor. It isa pity that the Navy Depart- ment did not accept it just as Tt was made. The Secretary agrees that there shall be a trial, but prescribes that it shall be made in quite another way. The ships are to lie at either side of a dock, and the coal and cinders of each to be weighed, the power generated in each to be very acourately measured. Scien- tifigall; wil] be a satisfactory trial, and it = pda the ships into compari- son under the same conditions;” but so far as the people see these matters It is not so satis- factory as a teat in the other way would have been. The best test in all those matters is made in the actual service of the ships working in the way in whioh they are to be used. NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JULY Tho Administration and Chicf Justico Chase. The radical negro suffrage agitators continue their intrigues and double-dealing against the administration of President Johnson, and are already trying to prove that his reorganization policy is a failure. In carrying out their pecu- liar tactics they take great pains to present to the public plausible yarns in regard to the ad- ministration, and thus attempt to show that the President will soon unite with them in their policy for the treatmont of the South. The ob- ject of this is apparent to the mere casual ob- server ofevents, They ate aware that Mr. John- son has struck the popular chord and drawn to him the support of the great mass of the people of the North by his wise and practical reconstruc- tion policy. They well know that if they come out boldly and announce themselves direct and open opponents to his administration that they will be so overwhelmingly repudiated by the people that no resurrection will ever reach them. They, therefore, are zealously laboring to cre- ate the impression that the President thinks as they do, and will at some future day adopt their policy. They hope in this way to secure the support of a class of our citizens by making them believe that they are really carrying out Mr. Johnson’s views. But this device is too barefaced to deceive any person. They only adopt this programme in order that they may the better accomplish their designs in prevent- ing the success of the reorganization policy of the government. Under the plea of friendship they are doing all that lies within their power to defeat the adjustment of the South, and con- tinue the whole country in an unsettled and uncertain condition as long aa possible. The whole faction, from Chief Justice Chase down, are devoting their time and energy in assailing the President and his policy in an ab underhand way, auc ict id opporsmnity slip to | denounce his plaps and encompass their defoat. Thus, Genator Sumner, who coupgelled the negroes of Nott Cardlina to exercise the rights of the elective fraitchise, declaring that all who opposed them were tfisir effemies, is now trying to create the impression ‘shat President John- son sanctioned that course. In this he has the double object of trying to cover up the real de- signs of the Jacobin faction and to create a dis- trust in the public mind in regard to Mr. John- son’s course. In all their movements, let their plea be what it may, the same animus underlies them all—and that is, the defeat of the constitu- tional reorganization and early adjustment of the Southern States, To this end all their labors are directed, and their cloak of supporting the President will not suffice to bide their schemes from the public. Chief Justice Chase not only spends his time travelling around the country intriguing against the policy of the govern- ment, but sends his agents to conventions to stir up mischief and endeavors, through the In- ternal Revenue and Custom House officials, to manufacture public opinion and manipulate the republican party. The great object of all the labors of the Jacobin faction is in some way to frustrate the peaceable settlement of our national difficulties, and, under the plea of philanthrophy for the negro, keep up the confu- ton in the South until they can force universal negro suffrage upon the country. Having adopted this revolutionary programme they are endeavoring to secure its success, regard- less of the consequence or effect upon the nation. Chief Justice Chase, in his recent speeches, sneers at the policy of President Johnson, be- cause he sees in that policy a remedy for the evil which he (Chase) desires to force upon the country. Under the lent’s plan of ad- justing the Southern States to the new status of affairs, those States recently under the control of the rebellion will be speedily regenerated, and every possible plea of the radicals to govern them by military force, as a necessary step to the enforcement of their schemes, will be removed; hence the attempt to create public opinion against that policy. ‘What Chase and his followers most desire is to continue against the South the same system of abolition crusade which has been carried on for the last thirty years, and incite strife between the black and white population. In this way they hope to render it necessary to retain the South under military rule, pile up a national debt which will ruin the North and lead to repudiation by enfeebling the power to pay. That class of politicians having got a taste of office, are anxious to retain their hold; but being one idea men, know of. no other way to prolong their rule and obtain political advancement except by a system of agitation and in keeping the whole country in « state of turmoil, excitement and uncertainty. The- nation’s distress is their hour of glory. Peace and prosperity is death to their schemes and destruction to their ambition. Hence it is that we find Chase and his radical Jacobin asso- ciates again agitating the negro question, so as to stir up incurable trouble between the races of the South, and under the cover of philan- thropy inaugurate a demoniac strifo that will prevent an adjustment of the South for years to'vome. If their policy succeeds the people of this country will have their all of the Chase-Jay Cooke national blessing and taxes to their hearts’ content. ‘Tae Couteaute Rows or Honor—Tas Ma- TERIAL or oon ARmigs.—The colleges are this year making a great feature in their commence- ment ceremonies by doing honor to such of their former graduates as have served in the army. Harvard, Union and Yale hold up with com- mendable pride their respective rolls of honor, and point to the hundreds of their students who have served the country in every grade, some as privates, some as major generals. Before the Alma Mater they are all heroes slike; all have used the lessons taught with noble appreciation of the purpose of all teach- ing; all have risked their lives in the common enuse; and while, perhaps, the learned faculty bows a little lower for the stars of the major genersl the simple hero out of the ranks finds appreciation of his services so warm and complete that he feels repaid for all his suf ferings and struggles. : This is just as it should be, and the colleges do admirably in thus honoring the heroes who have honored them. This circumstance is use- ful also as giving one more indication of the character of our soldiers, It shows how largely the soldiers that have saved the coun- try were drawn from all classes of our American society, England, France, Prussia, Austria, Russia, all draw the materials of the tank and file from the laboring classes, and their armica are ontirely made up of the poorer classes of their people. They ere to a large degroe stolid, brutal 3U, 1865. wretches, whose lives, from one end to the other, aro never illuminated by au idea. J'ven when it is pretended that they draw ‘com all classes of society alike it is certain that as! but the very poorest, which are the lowest, escape the burden of the service. But here we see that the men of the highest intelligence, the graduates of the great col- leges, were equally ready to serve the country with the laborer and the mechanic, And these men gave tone to their messes, squads and companies. They made the best of soldiers, because they looked at their duties intelli- gently, and they communicated this intelligent spirit to their comrades. It was this that made our armies the admirable organizations they were, and that made it impossible to demoral- ize them, even when defeats were piled upon one another until the cause seemed desperate. The bayonets thought; they saw the reason always, and they never lost that hope and faith in the cause that made them conquerors. And this will always be the difference between American armies and European armies: there is only stolid, brute force in one, and there is intelligence in the other, And this intelli. gence, this reasoning sense of discipline and duty, will make us invincible if it shall be necessary for us to fight armies from the other side of the Atlantic. Iuprovina THE Urrger Part or ras Crry.— ‘The Legislature, at its last session, in an act providing for the laying out of the upper por tion of the city, very judiciously conferred upon the Park Commissioners authority to establish the grade of the Sixth avenue from 110th street to the Harlem river, and all the intermediate streets, extending to the Seventh avenue. The Common Council, however, either ignorant of that fact or determined to seize upon the 17th instant, AW Ordinance, subsedontly signed by the Moyor, directing the Street Com: missioner to advertise for proposals for the grading and regulation of a valuable job in disregard of law, adopted, on | | Pipes e Sixth aveniie from 129th street to the Hartel diver: Since the Commissioners of the Park, under thé pro- visions of a previous act, are now engaged in fixing the grade of the Seventh avenue, it is obviously important that it should be made to harmonize with that of the Sixth avenue, and any interference or conflict of authority can only result to the serious damage and expense of the property owners, and in marring the beauty and utility of those noble avenues. On inquiry we are gratified to learn that the Cor- poration Counsel, in accordance with his duty, has communicated with the Street Depart- ment on the subject, and the public, at least in this instance, are likely to be protected from municipal ignorance or cupidity. Tus Mercanrie Bank anp THE Brrrisn Jury.—Mr. Charles Windsor, formerly paying teller of the Mercantile Bank of this city, was recently tried before a London jury. He left the city suddenly, it will be remembered, at about the same time that the bank missed the sum of three hundred thousand dollars in greenbacks and gold. His friends felt hurt at the imputation that he had taken the money; and the pablic were assured that the occasion of his sudden departure was his consciousness that the bank officers had him in their power and would ruin bim—but not a consciousness of guilt. The London jury, however, having heard all the facts, found Mr. Windsor guilty of theft. So that settles the question as to the tender feelings of bis friends. The jury, hav- ing done its duty very well so far, then went out of its way to perpetrate a piece of Bunsby- ism in the acknowledged style of that great institution, a British jury. It censured the bank for the lax manner in which it did busi- ness, and the censure may have been de- served; but the coolness of the jury in the matter is none the less remarkable. Only imagine the British superiority with which they burl their sneer at our American bank three thousand miles away. With what calm com- placency they seem to invite a contrast be- tween such management and the management of British banks. Was there ever an instance known in which an English bank was robbed by a dishonest employe? We have some faint recollection of hearing of such cases involving very large amounts of money. We have also heard of “laxity” in other high quarters in England—even going as high as Lord Chancel- lor. But this British jury, with its little remark Launch of the Steam Ya Rose. ‘The screw steam yacht Gilbert H. Rose was launched yesterday afternoon from the New York Iron Shipyard, J. 8. Underhill proprietor, at Greenpoint, L. Though the launch had been advertised to take place at an early hour, it was fully three o'clock before all the necessary Preparations were completed, and at that timo a tolera- bly large assemblage had gathered to witness the more or leas exciting spectacle. The word was theo given, and the yacht, gently gliding from the stocks, shot out {nto the stream ami the prolonged cheering of the spec- tators, who warmly congratulated Mr. Underhill on the City Intelligence. ‘Tas Hear.—Yesterday was another of the ‘hotest the Hsnatp office stood at eighty-five degrees; at noon it had to: it three P.

From t Gilbert H. ‘~ the Park in THR CROWDS UNDER THE SUMMER SOLSTIOR— MUBIO WITH THB MBROUBY af WINBTY-THRED DEGRERS. ‘The usual musical programme was given yesterday af- ternoon, and although the weather was exceedingly hot— the thermomoter standing at ninety-three degroes—the number of visitors showed no falling off on acoount of tke heat, and were not to be deterred from a pleasant afte,"a00n's enjoyment. Froni @n carly hour in the afternoon the avenue and Broadway oars began to pour into the Park their loads of human freight, and at half-past fotr the number of peo- ple estimated to be in the Park was from fifteen to twen- ty thousand, including some two hundred carriages, &c., ‘and as these were spread over a great part of the Park the number did not look so apparent, about three-fourths listentag to the music of the band, and the remainder en- Joying themselves in various ways about the Park. Among the hills a frosh breeze coming from the west gave some relief to the excessive heat, and sensible people mado their way out of the sun as sooa as possible to the high grounds. ‘The appearance of the Park at this season of the year fo all that can be desired. Many of the shrubs and “flowers are now in full bloom, giving to the walks and lawns quite a gay appearance; indeed some of the lawns ‘eppear to be surrounded completely by blooming shrubs and flowers, and is made a place of favorite resort to ‘visitors. ‘The roads and walks are all kept in excellent condition, the drives being watered several times in the day to keep the dust down, and therefore a deal of anroyance in @onsequence avoided. ‘The lawns were nearly all open to the public yoster- day; a board having been placed on the edgesof the grass to this effect, advantage was very soon taken of is acceptable liberty to have a roll on short, smooth a wef tyes Lagoa Sg oy Poraing Fare e ae sun under no sunstro! which might be tho case otherwise. orton During the course of the afternoon the fine band of the Park, under the leadership of Mr. BH. B, Dodwortb, performed, and the visitors showed their approbation of ‘the masterly manner in which it was perf< by on- coring several times. The programme was as follows: — PAR? L March. 1. Overture—The Fairies of the Lak 2. Morceaux Obligato, for cornet. 3. March from the Enchantross—! Interval ten minutes. 8. saat mt... Ragixcttt. 10. Quickstep—Annio of the Vale Danley. 11. Waltz—Dream of the Ocean. The Union. Standing under the canopy of canvass near the Casino the view of the lake and surroundings ts it, and can hardly be excelled for beauty and varicty of scenery and objects taken in at a g' by any other patk in the world. One can fi ine here the scene to be Stalian, with the pure blue sky over head and the little gondolas flitting about on the surface of the lake, and only needs the guitar and serenade to complete the picture. But the sound of our own Park reminds us where we are, and we do not regret it. ‘The noble flights of steps ruuning down to the water's edge, and the fountains, .too, would help to complete this picture. A group of sculpture by Richard Thompson, on the grounds behind the refreshment rooms, was a source of constant admiration. The subject represents ‘‘Auld lang syne.” Inthe centre stands a wooden table, on which is placed a jug. On the right is seated an old man, who aj by the carpet bag at his side, to have just returned from a journey. On the other hand sits a Scotch shepherd in his native costume (his plaid being thrown over the back of his chair), and by his side lies his true and constant com- is dog. They are drinking to each other the ‘Days of Auld Lang Syne,’ and underneath is inscribed the words of the never to be forgotten of Burns, Ths sujet ota ht very eed sn nd hears a vory one, and the hag done it all the justice it deserves. Al ther the afternoon was very pleasant one, and we did not hear of one case of misconduct. Towards six o'clock the visitors began to towards their various homes, each seeming satis! with the day’s amusement, and no doubt feeling better for a littie re- Jaxation from business.

The crowd of sight-seors was infinitely greater than yosterday in point of muscle.

He turned the upper stake first, how- ever, and came home an easy winnor in 15:15; Beglin, of New York, second, in 16:30, and Radford third, im 16:48.
