The court, after deliberating with closed doors, decided to grant no further delay of the procoedings than till next Tuesday, and adjourned till that time, THE NEWS.

United States Commissioner Newton, on the facts being brought to his notice, issued warrants for the arrest of the desert ers, and one of them has been apprehended; but the othors, it is alleged, are kept out of the way by certain boarding house keepers, one of whom, known as Prus- sian Charley, has also been arrested, and required to ; give two thousand dollars bail to answer the charge before the Commissioncr, Atameeting of the Committee on Annual Taxes of the Board of Supervisors yesterday Supervisor Davis reported that immediately after the accident to the Harlem bridge on last Thursday night he had set men to work in repairing it by the erection of a temporary structure, which was completed by ten o'clock on the nextday, His action was endorsed by the committee, and the intention announced of making the bridge again substantial aud complete, ‘The steam propeller Oceanus, running between Now ‘Work ard Providence, collided about four o’clock yester- day morning in the Sound, when thirty-five miles frem this city, on her way hither, with the sloop Jacob Dur- yea, cutting the latter nearly in two.

The others were saved by the steamer, The bodies of Mra. Davis and her infant were recovered; but that of the other child could not be found. The wrecked sloop was towed to Glon Cove, and tho dead bodies were brought to this city, where Coroner Collin commenced an inquest in the case, which will be continued to-day.

In consequence of a fight occurring in the alleged dis- orderly house of William E.

They rival each other in sustaining the President and his policy, and each is begging to be adopted by him. Apart from the extreme factions, which both have sloughed off to some extent, they do not differ professedly in their principles (if either have any besides the loaves and fishes) or in their platforms, Old party names and claptrap phraseology, by which they endeavor to make a distinction when there is no differ- ence, amount to nothing. The only real issue before the country consists in sustaining the President’s restoration policy. or opposing it. And upon this both agree. ‘The republicans claim Andy Johnson because he was taken up by them and elected Vice President by their votes, which brought him, by the accident of Mr. Lincoln’s death, to the Presidency. They look upon him, as all political parties in this country have been in the habit of looking upon the Presi- dent of their choice, as their property inheri- tance and agent for dispensing the patronage of government. And, according to estabiished precedents, they appear to have some show of reason for their claim. The democrats, on the other hand, go back to Mr. Johnson’s antecedents, and appeal to his dectarations of principles and policy to show that he always has been, and is now, a thorough going democrat. There is no doubt this party has the best of the argument on this ground. They assert, too, consistently enough, that the President is not a man likely to change his political creed like changing an old garment, as so many of the politicians do. Upon this view of his history and character they base their hopes. The struggle for ascendancy and to mono- polize the President is not one of principle, in reality, but for the sake of power and the spoils now and hereafter. It is a mightgstake, and the plotting, scheming and labor em- ployed to obtain it show the magnitude of the prize. This, in fact, is all the principle there is in the contest, as far as these partics and the politicians who manage them are con- cerned. We suppose, consequently, the mass of the people will not feel a great deal of in- terest in it.. But, as regards the President, the success of his wise and conseyative restoration policy and the welfare of the country, it may be a matter of some consequence as to which” shall succeed, Looking carefully over the whole ground, and being altogether independent of these parties, we can form an impartial opinion as to what would be best under the present slate of things. We think it would be best if the democrats should triumph in our State election. The copperhead faction is small and has little or no influence, nor is it likely-to have, in the democratic party. As that party stands to-day ote in the State it is far moré conservative and re- liable than the other. ‘The republicans, on the contrary, are still much under the influence of the radicals, Although their Convention ap- peared to give the cold shoulder to. these extremists and disorganizers, the success of the moderate men must be attributed more to able management than tonumbers. Greeley claims that there was a majority of fifty of his stripe—that is, radical opponenis of the Presi- dent’s Southern restoration policy—in the Syra- euse Convention, but that they were over- slaughed by trickery. How far a convention composed of such elements was sincere in its declaration to support the President or of ap- proval of his measures is a question. At all events it is evident that the influence of the radical faction is still great, though latent, and it may yet gain the ascendancy in the republi- can party. Should the republicans succeed in the elec- tion in this State it would have a powerful effect in strengthening the party everywhere; for New York is the heart of the whole coun- try, and ils pulsations reach all the extremities, In that case it is reasonable to suppose the large party of radicals in Congress, particularly in the Senate, would be so elated that they would probably show their teeth to the President, embarrass his administration, keep the Sonthern States out of Congress and throw the country into a state of agitation and disorder. If the republicans should be de- feated it will have a happy effect in subduing these Jacobins, or at least in making them comparatively harmless, On the whole, then, it is. desirable that the democrats should wjn the race. The small copperhead portion of them can do no harm. On the other hand, the powerful radical faction of the republican party, which is so strong in Congress, if warmed into life by the success of the republicans, may be very troublesome to the President and the country. Braam, Nor roe Piace.—It has been reported that, in consequence of the abolition of slavery, considerable numbers of recent slaveholders in our Southern States contemplate a removal to Brazil, where the African race are still kept under the restraints of the “peculiar institn- tion.” But to all parties who entertain this idea of finding the slavery of South Carolina down under the equator the testimony of a writer in the Mobile Advertiser on the subject will be found worth considering. This writer, from a residence in Brazil of many years, says that, though African slavery is recognized there, it exists ina very “mild form;” that the laws regulating it “are humane,” and that “free negroes, of whom there are many, are politi- cally upon an equality with the whites, and many of them socially.” The Southern man, therefore, who goes now from Virginia, Geor- gia or any other of our late slaveholding States to Brazil in search of his Jost institution of slavery will go “out of the frying pin into the fire.” Brazil isno place for him. [t will be best for him to remain where he is, and ac- cept the results of his Southern confederacy experiment just as he finds them, Having eaten his cake, it is useless to cry over it A Swinxotx.—Greeley says the democratic “Albany demonstration is a swindle”—that Haskin’s statement proves it so. But this is a | mistake. Haskin’s “affiddvy” proves that | there was an attempt by the copperheads to swindle the party with their base coin, bat that it was defeated, and that the swindlers of the party were tarned adrift “with their carpet bags fall of old editorials.” A Goov Test.—On the 2d of October the people of Connectiont will vote on the question of negro suffrage in that State. The issue is yonsidered doubtful, aud the reat, if againat nogro suffrage, will be very question will then follow, if the people of Con- necticut, relieved of negro slavery for nearly a century, are not yet prepared for negro suf- frage, how can we require the Southern States to grant it right away, which were relieved of slavery only yesterday ? The Religious Teachings of the Tri- unos Blin juades.”* We hardly know sometimes whether to em- ploy censure or indulge in ridicule when refer- ring to the teachings of the Tribune. It is read, doubtless, by numbers of people, who look upon it as sound in its opinions, and venerate the old white coat of the editor as the Mussul- men do the green breeches of their prophet, Mahomet. . In politics, in political economy, in philosophy, it takes delight in uttering the wild- est opinions, and now and then complacently treats us to a little gratuitous skepticism, if not infidelity, which its readers are expected to gulp down without change of countenance, and cry for more, as children do for candy. In that journal of a few days ago we find an extraordinary article of an editorial character, being a pretended review of a late number of the Christian Examiner, and made up of startling propositions, which we commend to the thought- ful consideration of all reflecting and Christian people. While it is well known that the Haraxp is not seciarian in its views, but is always liberal and tolerant of opinion, yet it is always a respecter of conscientious morals and religious creeds. Certainly, however, not even a latitudinarian spirit can be very indifferent to the broad, barefaced and indecent avowals which were made in the Tribune, much less those who recognize and yenerate the Holy Scriptures, which were given for our learning. That we do not color this view of those propositions beyond their real hues, nor deal with them unfairly, we make the following extracts:— “The authority of the Bible as the ultimate ground of our belief is aksolutely destroyed for modern thought, and nother must be found, for religion is indestructible.” “The soul itself, taken in its nature, history, develop- ment and prophetic latencies, ig the only possible basis of a rational theology.” “When in later times Christianity slipped its moorings and anchored to the Church, the Bible, or to Jesus himself, it forgot its own inherited law, and made a fatal change of base, which modern theism is destined to reverse and rectify.” “In taking the soul itself as the ultimate ground of religion and court of appeal, theism but re- turns to the Christianity of Jesus himself, and ot every other pure and devout theist; it bui reforms a corruption of the historical Church. Ontbe goul alone can be reared a theology rational alike in its basis, its method and its results. Mankind needs this rational theology, which, like a powerful engine, shall crush the quartz of history, and sift out from the debris the gold of universal trath. We cannot quench Sur spiritual thirst with the dry sand of facts. The yisions of the poet af a thousand fold truer than the uncertain chronicles of the his- torian, or the dreary figures of the statician.” “The soul itself, its nature, history, develop- ment, and its latencies, is the only possible basis of a theology.” This goes further than anything from the school of infidels of which we have any ac- count, Not only derying the authority which the Christian world has for thousands of years acknowledged with devout submission, no mat- ter what its differences may have been on minor points, we are now told that the soul itself is “the only basis of theology.” Whose soul we should like to know? The soul of the pagan, of the cannibal, of the dirt-eating Hottentot, or of the man who even in civilized couniries breaks loose from all restraints and makes a higher law for himself? Or is it Grecley’s soul that is to become the chief stone in the new corner? We should rather distrust this foundation, or even that of Theodore Parker’s laying, the cleverest of the whole gang of theists or atheists. Who is to be the judge of the correctness of this wonderful soul’s new theology? Any religion founded on the dogmatism of such a teacher would be rather a queer one. Its maxims would everywhere be different; virtue and vice, of which there is yet some idea among men, would be confounded in a thousand ways; and the difference between the new anthori- ties—the souls which crush out the “quartz of history” and repudiate “the dry sand of fucts”—would be doubtless content to adopt the “Arabian Niglits” or any other similar work of romance and exaggeration as its catechism. Now we inquire whether the rotten, baseless and immoral teachings of the Tribune in this, if not other matters, are to be sacecepted in this community as truth? Whether it is willing to give up its regard and veneration for the Bible, which has evidently reformed the world as far as it will be reformed, and adopt this new theory to carry them safely through this life and hopefully into the next? A journal that can put forth such destractive doctrines cannot possibly have even “a decent respect for the opinions of mankind.” So far from this, it must inevitably léad its followers into a dis- regard and contempt for a history that has withstood the severest scrutiny of scholars and profound thinkers, and which has been a beacon light in all ages, towards which the poor tempest-tosged mariner of this life has always turned his hopeful eyes. And are the American people, or even the party which the Tribune affects to” lead, ready to embark with it in the whirlpool of doubt, on this sea of infidelity, and pin their faith on the sleeve of the old white coat? We should hope not. For ourselves, we think it much wiser, much safer, to place it on Him who wore an un- sullied robe, without a seam. Moxey in THe Sovru.—The return of peace has already developed the fact that there is a good deal of hard, substantial money in the South, consisting of parcels put away at the outbreak of the war and now bronghi out into active service. With their cotton, their ensh and a pretty good corn crop there is a fair prospect that the Southern States will be able to weather through the winter with a little asststance. Tile Sauxt-ree-Suext Democracy.—John B, Tluskin not only admits that he slaughtered jhe shent-per-shent leaders of the democracy at the Albany Convention, but he glories in the deed. A snecessfal Indian war chief of the Tammany tribe, he carries a sample with him of the blood of bis victims in « bottle, and their scalps in a string around bis neck as an ornamental neck- lace, Stand back, coppethoads—big chiof coming The | The Coming Blection—Let Us See the Representative Candidates.

All this extensive piece of other such issues that will be raised during the | sround 1s rapidly assuming the appearance of finished canvass, is for them both to appear in this city on the same rostrum at the Cooper Institute— not at the Academy of Music, which is reserved for squalls and squalicrs—and let the peopic meet them face to face, In a close canvass the slightest circumstance often decides an election. We remember one Congressman who used to get ahead of the opposition candidate by kissing all the babies in his district, clean or dirty, fut or lean, sour or sweet, ugly or handsome, imps or cherubs. Henry Clay owed his election toa lacky rifle shot at a Kentucky shooting match. The use of hard cider as a beverage made Harrison Presi- dent. Fremont made a splendid run because he had a charming wife, whom the people called “Our Jessie.” Buchanan owed his sue- cess to the fact that he was a bachelor, and all the women wanted him elected so that they might have a chance to marry into the White House. A hasty plate of soup destroyed General Scott. The phrase “Honest Old Abe” elected Mr. Lincoin. But it is useless to multi- ply instances. Everybody knows that many a man has attained high honors, wealth and posl- tion on the strength of a clean collar, a new pair of kids, or a benevolent smile, and that many a politician has been killed by a nick- name suggested by some of his personal habits or peculiarities, and applied ot the right time. The people take likes and dislikes easily, and their prejudices for or against certain charac- teristics often seriously affect the result of an election. It will be seen, then, that very much depends upon the popular impression made by the two generals who are ranning for Secretary of State. They must come prepared for ihe closest inspection, and ready with a brief, telling and patriotic oration apiece. The cut of Slocum’s coat may lose him votes, and the style in which Barlow wears his hair may tell powerfully for or against him. We neither defend nor de- nounce this system of judging of the merits of a candidate by. his personal appearance or his ability to speak glibly. We simply record what every one knows to be a fact, Mhd.that Is that such trifles do infiuence the public mind. To deny this is to fly in the face of the history of the past and the record of the we call attention to it asa matter of vital in- terest to all concerned. It is not for us to say whether Slocum or Barlow is the superior man.

Haskin, that “with me the paramount idea—and it induced me to go to the convention, in view of the curse of the Chi- cago platform—was to avoid the Bourbon-Val- landighamism of the Ohio, the Jerry Black Buchananism of the Pennsylvania and the Camden and Amboy Rip Van Winkleism of the New Jersey democratic platform,” is too much for the Hon. Ben Wood. He says that by this treacherous Albany platform “our gallant brothers in the cause in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey” are “insulted and betrayed,” wnd that “we (the Hon.

At the north,tas. at the lower end, the hand of lavor has ably carried out the ideas of science and art. ‘The glimpses which can even now be obtained of the partially completed design serve to give a good idea ot what the whole will be when fountains, cascades, moauments, rustic cottages, bridges and other atiractive and beautiful adjuncts are completed, In this part of the Park ars Mount St. Ving cent buildings, aud also a block house used during the war of S12, It is intended to have a maze here, and « site bas already been selected.

The first question has been long and widely discussed ; but the two last are comparatively nety, The association / compiains that graduates of Sing are pernrtted to compete with the respectable om of the laboring classes, and that, owing to the inefficient ayetem of ap- pisaticsabie, the paumber of good workmen in every inch of mechanical art is rowing less year By ear.
