Tho managers of the French Universal Exhibition, which Is to open at Paris di the spring of 1867, have consent- ed, at the solicitation of our Minister, to extend the t ime allowed for American exhibitors to send in their lists to the Sist of January next, the 31st of last month having been the limit at first fixed upon. Preparations for the exposition are already going forward actively. The cholera still lingered in Paris at the date of our advices, ‘and was carrying off a number of the inhabitants, not confining its ravages solely to the poor quarters, but invading the homes of the upper classes aswell. The authorities were taking great pains to keep the public ignorant of the extent to which it prevailed. Eminent French physicians have recently stated that the medical profession is no better acquainted with the nature of the disease or the proper treatment of it now than it was years ago, All the wire, necessary materials, &c., for the completion of the Russo-American telegraph via Bebring Straits have been contracted for in Paris, and will shortly be shipped to this country. In Berlin, a8 well as Hamburg, Bremen and other German cities, meetings have been held and arrange- ments made for the purpose of taking up subscriptions in aid of the freedmen of the United States, A history of our late four years war, by a captain in the Prussian army, has just been published in Berlin, and is favorably noticed by the press of that city. A very interesting account of the arrival from Cher- bourg at Brest, France, and movements at the latter place, of Admiral Goldaborough’s United states squadron, is given by one of our naval correspondents. He also furnishes a sketch of the eld town and its grand rock- bound harbor. The Colorado and Frolic arrived at Brest ‘on the 24th of September, and immediately after a series of salutes and visits of ceremony wag commenced. There being a Russian war steamer in port, both the French and Russian flags were saluted by Admiral Golds- borough’s vessels, and the compliment was returned from the fort of the one nation and the ship of the other, about ongpundred and seventy guns altogether being fired in the performance of these ceremonies. The in- tended visit of Admiral Goldsborough’s fleet to the Medi- terranean was delayed by the prevalence of cholera in the ports of that sea, The ravages of the disease in Marseilles and Toulon were fearful. In the latter place nearly allgkinds of business were suspended, and over twenty thousand of the inhabitants fled to the country; but still” the scourge continued its terrible work unabatedly on those who remained, Our corres- pondent, after witnessing the filthy condition of French cities generally, does uot wonder at the headway cholera makes in them. Americans generally, and our wine drinkers in particular, will be interested in the curious and carefully prepared statement of facts regarding the prepara- tion and manufacture of champagne presented / in our correspondence from the old town of Rheims, the headquarters of one of the dis- tricts of France so exclusively devoted to the production of this sparkling and inspiring fluid. The pure juice of the grape has to pass through a num- ber of processes, oorupying altogether about three years, after leaving the wine press, before it is ready for market. After its first fermentation it is flat and disagreeable in taste, and, but for various manipulations and the extrin- sic additions made to it, would never enter the throats or brains of connoisscurs. These preparatory processes are fully described by our correspondent. There have for some time existed difficulties between the Rheims wine manufacturers and exporters and the United States cus- toms authorities, the latter alleging that for years past our government has been defrauded by an under valua- tion in the invoices which bave accompanied it of the champagne shipped to our ports. This the former stout- ly deny, and the trouble still remains open for adjudica- tion. Few people outside of this city, and but few compara- tively of its residents, have any proper conception of the extensive operations of the machine shops of the me- tropolis and the immense quantity of work, of the most finished and elaborate character, they are constantly turning out. Some idea of the proportions of these es- tablishments, the systematic completeness of their inter- nal arrangements, the vast amount of the most skilled labor performed in them, and the busy scenes which their interiors present, can be formed trom a brief sketch of a few of them which wo present in our present issue. The principal of these machine works are located along the North and East river fronts of the city, numbers of them occupying entire blocks each, and some of them parts of two or three blocks. There are between twenty and thirty of them that employ each from five to six hundred men all the year round, and some of them have now fully employed from seven hundred to one thousand workmen, their department of industry having recently experienced a considerable revival, and giving prom'se of even busier times during the win Wisional Governor Holden bas received instructions from tecrotary Seward that he is to continue to exercise ex- | eoutive functions in North Carolina until specially , relieved by President Johnson, notwithstanding the | ‘act that another Governor was elected by the people | of that State on last Thursday. It be | remembered that in the interviow which the North arolina delegation had with the President on last Friday he informed them that Mr. Holden would be so in- <tructed, as have also been the Provisional Governors of Mississippi, South Carolina and Florida, ‘Thus it will be sven that the President is not disposed to allow the peo- ple of the States lately in rebellion to assume unrestricted control of their affairs until, by complying with the terms which he demands, they demonstrate their loyalty | to the government beyond a doubt and give security to keop the peace in future. Their Legisiatures must ratify the slavery probibition amendment to the national con- will The new Catholic church of St. Gabriel, a large and Deautiful structure, in Thirty-seventh street, between Fiset and Second avenues, was dedicated yesterday fore- noon, in the presence of a crowded congregation. Arch- bishop McCloskey, assisted by other eminent clergymen, officiated on the occasion, and the sermon was preached by Bishop Lynch, of South Carvlina, Bishop Potter, of the Episcopal Church of this diocese, officiated at a public contirmation yesterday morning in the Mariners’ floating church, Pike slip, of seven candi- dates for admission to church fellowship. The proceed- ings were of an interesting character, and the sermon preached by the bishop was listened to with great atten- tion by the congregation. A very large andience at Dr. Choever’s church Iast ovening listened to addresses from the Kev. Mr, French and General Fisk on the condition of the freedmen in the recently rebellious States, The direct object of these addresses was to stimulate the congregation to take measures for the amelioration of the condition of situation, | Some additional curious developments illustrative of | Kagland’s self-styled neutrality daring our recent con- | test with tue rebels have recently been made, and are | wet forth in the despatch of one of our Washington cor. | respondents, A list, which is said to have been derived | from rebel sources, is given of a large number of English | firms who were engaged during the four years of the war sa supplying the insurrectionists with goods, mostly con- the blacks, who in many portions of the South are repre- sented to be in a state nearly bordering upon starvation. ‘The proceedings closed with the unanimous adoption of a resolution asserting the perfect equéity before the law of the white and the black man ‘and thut the peace and honor of the nation and the interests of justice require that the right of saffrage shall be tnconditionally secured to the latter.

There was prosent aarowded assemblage, which was addressed by Governor Fenton and ‘the Rev. Thomas E. Hastings, John Cotton Smith aad Joseph T. Duryea. All spoke in favor of the {nstitution, as being of great benefit to the country at large, and urged its extension. A discourse by Professor Facchella, on the condition of Italy, was delivered in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, yos- terday, and an appeal was made for aid in support of a religious periodical published at Milan; but the appeal did not meet with success A very interesting address was delivered last evening by Rev. Richaré Parker, a clergyman from England, be- fore the American Bible Mission, at the corner of Eighth avenue and Eighteenth street, The lecturer spoke at some length on the duty and mission of all true Chris. tians, and made a strong appeal to the religious zeal and faith of his hearers. ‘ A deaf and dumb man, namod William Bennett, was run over and instantly killed, his body being terribly mangled, on Saturday evening, at the corner of Hudson and Desbrosses streets, by a freight car of the Hudson River Railroad. The driver of the car was arrested and committed to await the result of an inquisition. The quarterly reports of the captains of the Metro- politan Police give the number of persons arrested in the city during the three months ending on the Sist of October as twenty-two thousand two hundred and eighty four, of whom sixteen thousand four hundred and seventy-three were males and five thousand eight hun- dred and eleven females, A man vamed Stephen H.

The first Monday in December next, the 4th of the month, is the appointed day for the meet- ing of the new Congress. If the Southern States, therefore, engaged in the work of re- construction, desire to have their members on hand at the organization of the two houses they must accomplish their work of prepara- tion within the brief remaining interval of three weeks, The States of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi- ana, Tennessee and Arkansas have elected their members to both houses, and before the end of November we expect that Georgia and Flo- rida will have done so, leaving only Texag still under an unmixed provisional military gov- ernment, So far, then, as the admission of the late insurgent States to their old places in Con- gress will depend upon the election of their members Texas probably alone will be behind- hand. But in connection with these elections there are certain conditions attached which must be met by the States concerned before they can be accepted by the President as qualified to resume their relations of members of the Union in good standing. What is their situation? They lately belonged to the rebellious league of the so-called “Confederate States.” Under that rebellious league, by force of arms, for four long years they devoted all their means, resources, forces and energies to the task of an independent Southern confederacy, resting on the corner stone of African slavery. They plunged into the rash experiment of war against the sovereign authority of the United States to make good their assumed right of secession and to perpetuate their institution of slavery. The redemption ot the debts of their league incurred in this war was made dependent upon their success, Their armies, however, were beaten and dispersed, their Southern confederacy collapsed, and the States concerned were thus reduced to submission to the Union. In this condition, and in the absence of Con- gress, they fell into the hands of President Johnson. His immediate predecessor in the White House had made the extinction of slavery & war measure in behalf of the Union. Thus this Gordian knot of fslavery was severed by the sword, while, with the downfall of Jeff. Davis, the debts and doings of his confederacy, and of each of the States as members of the league, and the dogma of secession which gave birth to their conspiracy, all went down to- gether. The armies and fleets of the United States had made clean work of their branch of the business, which was the tearing down the Southern confederacy, root and branch; and it was so recognized by President Johnson. With this clear understanding of their sitn- ation, President Johnson assumed the task of reorganizing the late insurgent States. They were not destroyed, but they were in chaos. They had rejected their loyal State govern- ments, and their rebellious governments had been put down by the strong arm of the Union; and so they were left without any local gov- ernment whatever. We need not recapitulate here the progressive steps pursued by the President in his programme of reconstruction, / It is sufficient for our preseut purpose that he asks no more and will accept nothing loss from the several States concerned than what they have justly lost by their rebellion, and what the Union has fairly gained. He thus demands from each of them as the conditions precedent to their restoration to the national councils:— First—As indemnity for the past, the recog- nition, in the new organic State law, of the abo- lition of slavery. Second—As security for the future, the ratifi- cation by the State Legislature of the amend- ment to the federal constitution, prohibiting, for all time to come, the revival of slavery anywhere within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States. Third—A clear declaration, as the voice of the State, that secession is a nullity, and that all its doings, debts and obligations ure null and void. These are the casential conditions, resulting from the war, from which the Southern States directly interested cannot escape. There is not the remotest prospect that a solitary mem- ber from any State concerned will be admitted or recognized by the President as eligible toa seat in Congress short of the fulfilment of these conditions. His late instructions to the parties engaged in the work of reorganization in North and South Carolinas, Florida and Georgia leave not a shadow of doubt upon the subject. We have lately, on several occasions, argued in favor of the admission of the members elect from the South, by the Clerk of the House, upon his roll of members regularly elected. But unless before the 4th of December, or on%that day in season, in some official proclamation from the President, the eligibility of said mem- bers is recognized, the House Clerk can do nothing for them. He can only say that he has no official information that any of the late rebellious States have been fully released from the pains and penalties of the rebellion. From present appearances, those States will be wholly excluded from the roll of the Clerk, which will form the House for the election of the Speaker. After that election. under these cir- cumstances, it is morally certain that the condi- tions laid down by President Johnson will not be mitigated, but will in all probability be re- produced in a more rigid shape and with addi- tional exactions in the legislation of Congress. Consulting their own best interests, therefore, the several State Conventions and Legislatures of the South engaged in the work of reconstruc- tion will do well to fulfil, if possible, the con- ditions laid before them by President Johnson in season for a recommendation from him in their behalf on or before the day of the meet- ing of Congress. Puaxtnrory is Hron Praces—The ex- ample set by the highest lady in France in visiting and comforting the cholera patients at the Paris hospitals should not be lost on those of our city. There isa vast amount of benevolence and humane sympathy among our American women, which is lost for want of op- portunities for its development, or which is wasted on objects that do not legitimately call it forth. If the sentiment that was expended on the movement in favor of Jeff. Davis with the President the other day were directed to other ehanneis n Tast amount of practical good might be effected. Why cannot, for instance, the ladies who were pnrtics to it follow the ex- ample of the Empress Eugenie, and assist in guarding against the approach of the cholera ~vq visiting the neor and sok th of Congress—The | houses and endeavoring to improve their con-| which the disease has been raging, to their dition? This would be a mission more fitted to their sex and tenderness of heart than inter- ference in matters of public policy of which they are necessarily but indifferent judges. North and So American Ware—A Con. tinental Republic. The States of Northern America, the Re- public of the United States, have just passed through a tremendous war, and the States of South America, including republics and so- called empires, are now in a fearfully tumultu- ous and warlike condition. Frightful as it was in its details, the war in the United States re- sulted in the vindication of the authority of the government and the firm establishment of re- publican principles in the northern part of the American continent. What the results will be in the South and Central America remains to be seen. The war in Mexico is a contest for supersed- ing a republican by a monarchical form of government. In this war are enlisted the sym- pathies and material aid of the imperialists of France and Germany. At the latest accounts the leader of the republicans, President Juarez, was still warring against the imperialist forces, and with success, In the Haytien republic, formerly the empire of Soulouque, President Geffrard is laboring hard to put down an in- surrection that has risen against his govern- ment, and in which the English are reported to have intervened, after the manner, but upon e smaller and a different scale, to that of Napoleon in the affairs of Mexico. In St. Domingo the republic has compelled Spain to withdraw her troops. Further south, on the Atlantic slope, the allied Powers of Brazil, Uruguay and the Argentine Confedera- tion have been fighting the brave Paraguayans. On the Pacific slope Chile and Spain are at war. Spain is endeavoring to blockade the Chilean ports, and to exact concessions, which the Chileans are not disposed to yield. And on the same shores there is trouble between the government and revolutionary spirits in Peru. How far Spain, under the direction of Napoleon, may be concerned in fomenting dis- turbances in Peru, and how far Napoleon may be charged with encouraging the warlike demonstratipns of the Spanish Admiral against Chile, will be matters that must be developed in the progress of events. The new and energetic Minister to Chile just appointed by President Johnson will undoubtedly be prompt in unravelling all points involving American interests, not only in the issues be- tween the Chilean and Spanish governments, but between those of all other Powers that in- terfere with the republican institations on the Pacific sid¢ of South America. Thus we see that fighting is going on upona large scale nearly throughout the southern portion of the continent. Certainly will the people of the Union regard with deep interest the struggles of their republican brethren in South America and in Mexico in their efforts to free themselves from foreign oppression and to restore domestic tranquillity. In the meantime what are the policy and the duty of the government of the United States? These were foreshadowed in the recent address of President Johnson to the Minister of the Argentine Republic. In that address the President said “it was a source of enduring gratification to the people of the United States that they have framed for them- selves a constitution for their civil government which so many of the new, enlightened and en- terprising States which are growing up on this continent have thought ‘worthy of being adopted by them asa model.” In expressing his regret that the Argentine Republic is now encountering the evils of a foreign war, Presi- dent Johnson expressed the “hope that its calamities might be mitigated, and that the issue might involve no detriment to the republio or. the cause of republicanism.” Here we find an index to the course the United States govern- ment will pursue, under the administration of President Johnson, when the time arrives for decisive action upon the Monroe doctrine. Here is an indtcation that republicanism will, in a few years, be stretched from one end of the continent to the other—trom Canada to Pata- gonia—followed by the erection of a system of grand continental republics that will endure for ages. Meanwhile republicanism will continue to spread in the Old World, slowly but surely, and the influence of our great success on this continent will extend that potential aid to those suffering under the tyranniés of Europe which will help them immeasurably in achiev- ing their final emancipation. Tae Cnorzra—Ovr QuaranrinE Reavza- Tions.—The appeal of the cabin passengers of the Atalanta published in our paper of yester- day discloses a case of considerable hardship. From the commencement of the voyage to the present time there has not been a single case of illness among them, with the exception of that of a passenger suffering from consumption. Since the arrival of the vessel here she has been thoroughly furhigated, and all the sick steerage passengers have been removed to the hospital ships. No fresh case of the infection has broken out since Saturday, and, to all ap- pearances, all danger in connection with the vessel has passed away. The cabin passengers are, nevertheless, confined on board, and no steps have been taken to improve their condi- tion. . It is natural that they should feel restive and impatient at a state of things for which there is no apparent reason. The health off. cers have no doubt their own motives for their retention on board, but it is difficult to conjec- ture them. If the national and State Legisla- tures have failed to provide the proper quaran- tine grounds it is no reason why the passengérs arriving at our port should be put to all this inconvenience and suffering. Once the neces- sary measures for the fumigation of an Infected vessel and the removal of the sick to hospital have been completed, the healthy passengers should be conveyed to some place on shore where they could be isolated for a short time previous to their being set at liberty. Thus ail danger of their carrying the infection with them would be guarded against and the dis- ease be controlled in its different stages, It will be answered to this that the Legista- ture has failed to provide the ground required to carry out these regulations, and that we shall have to wait until it moots in order to ob- tain an appropriation for the purpose. We see no necessity for the delay. It is competent for the Board of Health to buy or hire such a loca- tion on shore as will be temporarily auited to the purpose, should be done at once, for it is intolerable that healthy passengers sbould jm our tenement} continno jw we ovoowd pp IQ tap Vosesls on MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. ~~ Musical Intelligenve. * CONCERT AT ST.

Our true safeguards against visitstions of this sort are personal cleanliness, regular living and sanitary municipal ordinances, enforced under severe penalties. If the Legislature will only do its duty, and pass laws compelling the owners of tenement houses to pay proper atten- tion to the condition of their buildings, we be- lieve three-fourths of the danger would be averted. A revision of our system of public drainage and a atrict fulfilment of its duties by the Street Department would accomplish the rest. Congress and the Currency. In the next Congress thére will probably be two parties, favoring diametrically opposite ideas on the policy necessary to be pursued in relation to the currency of the country. One side will come out flat footed for contraction, and insist upon an immediate restoration of the metallic standard; while the other will, no doubt, be clamorous for further inflation, and attempt by argument to show that the con- tinued prosperity of the people can only he secured by the adoption of such # course. We are of opinion that the judgments of both will be wrong, and that if the policy of either is adopted we cannot hope to escape a devastat- ing financial crisis. If we allow the sentiments of the former faction to be put into practical operation, unprepared as we are for so sudden a change, we will be forced to witness, as we have before” attempted to show and as the financial records of other nations fully prove, the cramping of our energies and the crippling of the enterprising spirits of the people. . If those who will be likely to adhere to the latter policy should succeed the day of reckoning would be postponed; but when the time should arrive for a change from ephemeral riches to substantial wealth a crash would attend the transition which would spread devastation and ruin over all the commercial centres of the Union. Secretary McCulloch, we have reason to be- lieve, ignores the ideas of both the extremist factions on the question of financial ecenomy, and favors the pursuance of an intermediate course. He desires restoration of specie pay- ments as soon as it can be done practically, and in fact, and not nominally, as was the case with the Bank of England from 1817 to 1825; but he also wishes that it shall be effected gradually and with as little stirring of the ele- ments that produce financial revulsions and panics as possible. He favors the funding of the currency in a quiet and easy manner, con- suming a period of five or six years in the ac- complishment of the work; at the end of which time he anticipates the complete reproduction of a healthy state of finance and a permanent restoration ‘of the bullion basis, without being forced to undergo a series of disasters such as England encountered from 1815 to 1825 in her attempts to emerge from her depreciated paper money condition. " If this policy be pursued, and the natural course of trade, nursed and strengthened as it will be by our growing wealth and increasing population, be kept tree from legislative en- actments for the advancement of particular in- terests, we shall have no fears of the result, and we do not hesitate to predict that our cur- rency will assume, quite as soon as the neces- sities of trade demand, its normal condition. We would recommend Secretary McCulloch, therefore, to place in his annual report very few financial theories before Congress, but simply ask to be permitted to quietly pursue the course he proposes to adopt, and to leave the people to solve that great financial prob- lem, to wit: how the specie basis can be re- stored without producing rovulsions. Present Jonyson’s Opinion oF THe Cor- PERHEADS.—The appointment of General Kil- patrick to the important position of Minister Plenipotentiary to Chile may be regarded as indicating President Johnson’s opinion of the copperheads. The gallant General won his military distinction and promotion by fighting the Southern rebels, and now the President of the United States honors bim with a first class ambassadorial mission as a reward for thrash- ing the Northern copperheads. This is » warn- ing to all copperhead office holders and office seekers. In attempting to bag Andy Johnson they will find that they are altogether mistaken in their game, and, like the radical republicans, they will be left out in the cold, to make way for the steady and trivmphant march of the new party of the people, the President’s firm and honest backers, Iumroration To tHE Sovra.—We see that among the immigrants arriving here a con- siderable number are bound directly for the Southern States. There are parties whose destinations were fixed before they left Europe, and who do not include the immigrants who came here without any settled plans, and who were subsequently influenced to proceed in the same direction. The fact is a sighificant one, and is full of promise for the South, It is well known that but few immigrants arrive here with- out bringing some little capital with them, and no doubt most of those who started with the idea of settling in the restored States are provided with larger sums than usual. At the South the amounts which they bring will, in gold, purchase ten times the land which they could buy at the North for the same money. Thus we shall have introduced at once into the Southern States an agricultural element that will replace negro labor, and that by ita introduction of capital will also replace all that has been lost by the war. Skatina.—This favorite amusement promises to take a development during the present winter that it has not before reached. Several new skating ponds are about to be opened in New York and Brooklyn, and wo shall soon bo in the midst of a carnival season unprecedented for ite gayety and bril¥ancy. From indications that reach us the winter promises to be an ex- ceedingly cold one, so that there is but little danger of the cholera arriving to mar the gene- ral appetite for amusemeat.
