THE NEWS. Lieutenant General Grant arrived in Detroit yesterday, | Our Richmond correspondent states that the trus- and was, of course, enthusiastically received by the peo- ple. In the evening he had a reception at one of the princtpal hotels of the city. Canadian affairs are assuming an aspect interesting to ‘the people of this country. The Provincial Parliament is now in session at Quebec, and portions of its proceedings and the goneral seutiment of the members, as described by our correspondents, are significant. The feeling in favor of annexation to the United States has grown rapidly of late. It is sid that one-third of the Parlia- mentary members are in favor of it, and that all that is wanted ta carry the project through to success is a bold end firm Joader. The speech in the lower House in fesponse to the Governor General’s address was particu- Jarly complimentary to the valor of the United States in war, and its strength and power in peace, and was fre- quently greeted with the English “Hear, hear!” excla- mation. In tha midst of the excitement and varying feeling, the Ministry have become somewhat alarmed, and will, it is understood, abandon for the present ses- sion both the confederation and the frontier defences schemes. : Governor Brownlow, of Tonnessee, in consequence of having received intelligence that the franchise law was not complied with in many places in the recent election im that Stato, has issued a prociamation making provi- sion for propounding certain questions to county offi. cors, for the purpose of ascertaining the facts. He also asks for information from loyal citizens on the matter, and assures them of his determination that they shall not be cheated by any evusions of the act alluded to. The plantere of some portions of South Carolina hav- ing forgotten that the negroes have been lately freed, have takon to their old trick« of applying the lash to those who wore latoly their slaves. General Van Wyck, commanding the Westinoreland district, has consequently doomed it necersary to imprison some of the offending chivalry, and to issue an order warning all others of them against similar conduct. Our correspondent at Matamoros, Mextco, gives further particulars and an impartial version of the late attack by Cortina on an imperial army train between that place ‘and Monterey, the account of which from the journals of the former town we have heretofore published. It was nothing like so formidable an affair as the latter repre- wonted it. He also gives in full the imperialist proclama- tion ostablishing @ passport system at Matamoros, already noticed in the Henan, The republican soldiers under Cortina are described as groatly lacking in discipline and organization, but still as being quite well fitted for their ehosop work of continually lartesing Maximilion’s troops on the Rio Grande border and keeping them close- ly confined to Yesterday had been appointed for the examination, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, of the extensive Phe- nix Bank defalcation; but, after some conversation be- tweon counsel and Justice Ledwith, a postponement till ‘Tuesday next was agreed upon.

The meeting was well attended and the racing throughout excellent. The running yesterday comprised a hurdle ace, a walk over, # mile dash anda mile handicap race. The latter was the feature of the day, no less than seven heats being run before the contest was decided. The owners of Fleetwing challenged Kentucky to run a four mile race on Monday; but the challenge was declined. No further details of the disastrous collision on Lake Huron of the steamboats Meteor and Pewabic have been received. As s singular sequel to it, however, a Detroit despatch, without giving partioulars, states that the former vessel caught fire on Friday night in the St. Mary’s ship canal basin, was scuttled, and sank, but that this latter disaster was not attended by any loss of life. We transfer to our columns this morning from the Liverpool Post an article ‘of considerable interest on to the assemblage of the ships of England end Franee at Plymouth, it is mentioned as a curious olroumstance that both nations are mainly indebted to this country for the marine models which they are pow endeavor- ing to perfect.

Tho Virginta educational institutions, though pros- trated and almost annihilated by the war, like the civil government and all industrial onterprises of tho State, are already easaying the feat of the fabled phoonix, and commencing a new career of usefulness and grandeur. tees of the ancient College of William and Mary, at Williamsburg, have determined to renow its regular ses- sions this fall, undor the guidance of an able facuity, and thas the University of ‘Virginia, at Charlottesville, will again commence iis regular courses on the Lat of Oc- tober.

Neoro Sorrrage anp THE Canvass 1x Onto.— When the republican convention in Ohio nomi- nated General J. D. Cox as their candidate for Governor they believed they should find in him a man moulded to their own political views, and that he was especially sound on the ques- tion of negro suffrage. The convention failed to put in the platform a plank endorsing that motion; but the radical press expressed satia- fection with, the candidate, and the radical speakers av@wed their faith in him. Educated in Oberlin College, with its deeply dyed aboli- tionism, and allied by marriage with one of its abolition professors, how could he be anything else? That is the way nigger worshippers argued, but events have shown that they were mistaken. In selecting Géneral Cox as their candidate for Governor they selected a man with good sense and firmness, and one not likely to be wheedled by any Chase or any other negro equality agitator. The experience of General Cox in the Southern country, during the most trying periods of the war, has satisfled him, like General Sherman, that the idea of negro equality is an absurdity; and in his letter, which we publish to-day, in answer to one from ® committee notifying him of his nomination, he has demonstrated very oloarly that he has no sympathy at all with the radicals on this quostion. On the contrary, he declares his earnest disapprobation’of their views, and proves logically and clearly that, as “the Anglo- American and Anglo-African races now stand face upon the thern gol in irrecon- pt 3 ait “€ Tomoyenity of political rights ts a natural impossibility.

Thus, in 1862, the de- mocracy carried the State with about ten thou- sand majority, In the Presidential election last year the republicans were successful, and secured a lit:le over six thousand majority. To accomplish the latter result the republican party had the entire influence of the national government, with all its extensive power and patronage lavishly bestowed, and to a greater extent than was ever before known in the bis- tory of the State. If, then, with all this infla- ence and patronage on their side, and at a time when the general government wielded greater power than at any period since the foundation of the government, the republicans could only carry the State by that meagre majority, the inforenge is that they have not in reality any preponderapce in their favor. These facts must lead ali observers of events to the con- clusion that the two parties are eo nearly equal in strength that the success of one is just as likely as the other, and that the whole question rests upon the skill of the managers in hand- Mng the'questions at issue. It is now considered. quite cértsin® that there will be no issue in this State on national ques- tions of any moment, and that the election bo-. ing merely for minor State officers and the Legislature it will be fought out on local issues pure and simple: Both parties manifest their approval of President Johnson's reorganization policy, and are equally anxious to render him their support. This fact alone precludes the exercise of the power of the national adminis- tration in the coming canvass. It is true that the radicals in the republican party are bitter against the President, and that the copperhead element in the democratic party is also in- clined the same way. But the vast ma- jority of both parties decidedly approve his course, while the copperhead ond the radical republican elements balance each other, giving to neither party the advan? tage on that score. This position of affairs we consider very fortunate for the people of the State. During the excitement over national questions which preceded the war, and the in- tense anxiety which has existed in the public mind for the preservation of the Union through the four years struggle with the rebellion, many abuses have orept in upon us in our State and municipal governments which need correction, and this furnishes the people an opportunity to, attend to this. important. work. We have no doubt that the scheming and corrnpt ‘politicians in this city and elsewhere will do all that lies in their power to force upon the party conventions some national issue, to divert attention from their work and enable them to continue their operations un- molested for some time to come. But in this we apprehend they will signally fail. , What, then, is the duty of the ‘party mana- gers under this condition'of affairs? We have on several oocasions shown the necessity for reform, both in this city and at Albany; and this, after all, bids fair to become the issue upon which the contest is to be conducted in this State and the voters marshalled to the.’ ballot box in November. Our only reliance in correcting the evils complained of ‘ts in the selection of a better clase of representatives in the Legislature, and in the adoption by our lawmakers of measures that will take not only this olty but all similarly misgoverned in the State out of the hands of the cliques whiotf are now plundering the citizens right and left. It will make no difference which party inaugurates this movement. That party which shows the best disposition to bring about the much needed reform will have the support of the people and carry the State. Our only hope in putting an end to the corruption in this city is in the bold action of the Legislature, and in its selec- tion ,of four or five of the best and most efficient men to be found and appointing them commissioners to take charge of the city government. They must have full power to discharge all the duties of the present officials, and continue the exer- cise gf that power until a charter suited to our neocksities can be prepared. This is the only manner in which we can secure the necessary checks and the adoption of a system which will place -the responsibility of the city government where it can be reached, and some persons held amenable for the misdeeds of our officials, To accomplish this purpose it is. essential that the managers of one of our great political parties shall raise the standard of reform, not enly in this city, but throughout the State, and place men in nomination pledged to vigorously carry out that policy. The people are ready and ripe for the movement. All that the party managers have to do is to inaugurate the move- ment, see thet the right kind of men are placed ple and public opinion will take care of the rest. . The French Pr Importal—Dynastic Children. The recent ifiness of the French Prince im- perial, a lad of eight years, and said to be sprightly and intelligent, is known to have created for some days an intense anxiety in Europe. ‘The author of the “Life of Julius Cesar” does not wish, like his hero and man of destiny, to leave no successor, for families and dynasties cannot go on without children, end should, as in the case of the First Napoleon, there be no son succeeding, all the grandeur of the empire would have been heaped up in vain. And on the other hand the millions who have accepted the present Napoleon, seeing the link of de- scent and succession snapped by death, might be indifferent as-to the future occupation of the throne, as they have at various poriods of re- yolution shown themselves to he. The public mind was evidently disturbed by the indispo- sition of this child, the public funds gave way under the effect of apprehension, the move- ments of the Court were interrupted, the press became reticent, Parle talked and uttered its as it will do in spite of the Bastile or the guillotine, or death itself, and evidently it was possible that the whole futare of the empire bung in susperse on the beatings of a child’s pulse. All this is suggestive. It shows on what a falee theory that government is founded, when on the life of any man, or any boy, which is still worse, its stability and influence depend. When « nation rests upon its base it may be firm, bat when it stands upon tts apex it Jo inse- cure.

And yet on this repose the tranquillity of a groat nation, and possibly tsp peace of Europe. F No more striking illustration can be given than this of the shallowness of the principles on which the dynastic governments. of the old world are based. When the illness of a child causes alarm throughout @ country, institutions must be feeble and ments must be and official opinions of little force. And this seems to be the case at this moment. We have observed for some time past an uoderourrent of sentiment that sometimes comes to the surface and makes a sensible ripple in French politics. There is an uneasiness which displays itself through the press at the shackles imposed upon liberty of speech and freedom of discussion, discontent with the long and expensive occupation of Rome by French armies, 9 conviction that the ‘Gla results; a cortainty that the interference in Mexico—originating in # claim for money which has been settled by Maximilian at sixty per | cent discount—is an unfriendly act towards this ‘country and 4 foolish one for France, prey- ing on the popular mind and producing discon- tent, In this condition of things the only secu- rity for-internal peace. is the life.of a child eight years old. No wonder the French people have been distarbed by his recent indisposi- tion, and have regarded the future with anxiety. Whether France will ever prefer another system than this, depending on such contingen- cies for continuance, it is impossible to fore- see; but this we may say, that we may much prefer institutions like our own, where the life or’death of individuals, even of our best and wisest men, never retards for a moment the national march, and never for a day interrupts the development of our resources or power or Progress. Greeley, Raymond, Marbleu and Jew- ett in an Independent Peint of View. The. great effort of the partisan papers in this city is to say nothing. We will do them the oredit to acknow! that they succeed in thelr undertaking. Duller reading than the editorial pages of these journals cannot possi- bly be imagined. A twice-told tale is absorb- ingly interesting in comparison with their plat- itudes, It is for this reason, perhaps, that Messrs. Greeley and Raymond have revived their old squabble about the Niagara peace negotiations. Mantilini Marbieu, of the World, who is sadly in need of material to fill up vacant columns, reprints all that Greeley says and all that Raymond says about these nego- tiations, and then indulges in a long article of his owa upon the'same obsolete subject. Never was drearier reading foisted upon a suffering Public. It is worse than the senseless pratile ot ‘& once popular writer who ‘has had his day, has. fost his brains, and is trying to eke out a livell-' hood ppon a name and a forgotten reputation. It is worse than the bosh of the drunken Bohe- mians. We observe that this old humbug of a dis- cussion about the Niagara negotiations is always dragged out whenever, from one cause or another, the partisan papers are afraid to apeak their minds about the vital topics of the day. Mr. Raymond, for instance, would like very much to attack the radicals tooth and nail, and smite them hip and thigh; but his party leaders and Weed, his managing director, deem it more pradent to keep quiet and create no disturbance in the republican camp. There- fore Raymond stirs up Greeley with three or four columns about Niagara; and they have a harmless little tussle, with a great deal of wind, consid: dust and nobody hurt. Mr. Greeley vowel csicent Johnson about as dearly «as Satan loves holy water, and aches to apply to him a few elegant epithets, and give him a sound drubbing, in print, for not granting immediate and ani- versal negro suffrage ; but the radical leaders and Chase, the head of the sect, think that the quarrol had better be postponed a little while longer, until the Congressional combinations are fully arranged. ‘Greeley ts consequently kept muzzled, and falls back upon the Niagara fiasco, which smounts to nothing and pleases his vanity at the same time. As for Mantilini Marbleu, he never has any ideas of his own, and his proprietors do not think it good policy to abuse President Johnsen just yet, and so he is only too happy to scribble nonsense about Niagara whenever anyh ody else suggests the. topic. One of the muin differences between the in- dependent press and the partisan press is that the fornier is always at liberty to express its opinions unreservedly upon any subjects worth treating, while the latter is compelled to be especially silent at the very time that, accord- ing to the code of good journalism, there is the most to say. The former can allow events to stiggest its topics, but the latter is obliged to pick and choose its way as gingerly as a man walking over a floor covered with eggs, lest it should offend some partisan or break up some partisan scheme. The former cares only to please the public, but the latter must try to please the politicians, the officeholders and the public at the same time—an attempt whic is generally unsuccessful. The Hxnatp is the reprosentative of the former class of journals, and the Tribune, Times and World are exam- ples of the other class. From our standpoint we are able to judge what public opinion is, and to influence and direct it. Independent of everybody and everything, we can set forth our views with perfect frankness and impartiality, and are not afraid of losing votes and offices for this or that party by telling the trath about them all. The partisan journals never under- stand public opinion; they only know the opinions of the corrupt cliques of party leaders. They are bought up by giving their editors offices, by sllowing them to print the oorpora- -tion advertisements and ia « dozen other dif- ferent ways, and are thus kept chained and gagged upon every question of real intorest to the public, for fear that they will injure the party which owns-them by some chance word or unfortunate phrase. Their ill success, when compared with the Hazrat, is therefore ex- plained, since the people want a paper as free and as unbiassed as is possible in this queer world. With the above philosophy and its moral we dismiss these pertisan journals for to-day; but let us say to them, in conclusion, that the only man who gained any credit in the Niagara affair was Colorado Jewott. He in- his employer, Sanders, and Greeley invoigled tems immature; govern- | ocoupation of Algeria has produced no benefi- j- velfled Greeley into it, at the solicitation of at first perceive whether the basiness was a joke or not.
