THE CHOLERA. Tho steamship England, Captain Grace, from Liver- pool on the 28th, via Queenstown on the 29h alt, for New York, was forced to anchor off Halifax, Nova Scotia, yesterday, for medical aid, She is there detained in rigid quarantine, having cholera on board. The disease appeared on Tuesday, the 3d of April, when the first case occurred. Since then there were one hundred and sixty cases to yesterday morning. Fifty persons died. The engivecrs of the vessel were sick and could not move her to the quarantine ground; The ship took out twelve hundred and two passengers and had a crew of one hundred men, Three doctors went on board from Halifax, and the passengers were to be cared for, some in the hospital ship and others in shanties erected on the beach. ‘The passengers are mostly Getmans and Irish. {t is thought that the disease was brought from Germany. by THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. Mr. Wilson, as he gavo notice Saturday, called for the condideration of the Civil Rights bill and the veto of the President as soon as the moruing hour expired yes- terday. A motion to lay it on tho table was lost by a majority vote of eighty-four. The previous question on the passag® of the bill was then seconded, and on the question being put, “Shall the bill pass, notwithstanding the objections of the President?”’ the vote resulted, yeas 122, nays 41. The Speaker dir:cted his name to be called 4s a member of the Hous» and voted “yea,” Mr, Sloan and Mr. Kuykendall, who voted yea originally, were ab- sent, The Speaker announced the passage of the bill, amid demonstrations of joy on the floor and in the gal- leries, and formally declared that the bill bad become a Jaw. I so she lies near the lighthouse. THE PACIFIC. ‘The steamship New York, Captain Horner, from Aspin- wall April 1, ar.ived at this port yesterday morning. In the war between Spain and the allied republics but one event of importance had occurred since In t advices. A Chilean transport steamer, the Paqaete de Maule, was reported captured, with two hundred and fifty troops on doant, by the Spaniah frigate Blanea, off Chiloe Island, The allied fleet were reported blockaded by the Namancia and Blanca in an inlet near Ancud, the scone of the late naval conflict. A Peruvian vessel had been sunk in tho channel and heavy chains stretched across to prevent the Spanish vesscls from approaching. Another revolution had been attempted tn Panama, beaded by a Venezucian named De Goda, resulting in tho sout of the Insurgents with considerable lows of life. ‘The government forces took over one hundrod prisoners, including Do Goda, Order was speedily restored and business proceeded as usual. EUROPE. By the arrival, yesterday, of the steamship England, off Halifax, and the Atlantic and Mansa, ‘at this port, we have news from Europe to the 29th of March, four days later, The German question was still more serious, anda war crisis regarded as imminent, It was thought the financial condition of Austria would compel her to strike quickly after ebe was armed, Italy, It is now aaid, will Preserve a strict neutraiity during the struggle, A special envoy of the Fenian Bead Contre of the 1. RD. ts said to have arrived here on the Atiantio. He ‘8 spoken of as the avant courrier of Mr. Stephena~ Before leaving for Paris Stephens visited London. Tt is claimed by bis agent that half of the British troops in Tretand aro Fenians, and that two hundred and afiy thousand Fenians were standing ready in that country to “gtrike for freedom when the order is gives.” The Fenian authoritics in Union square were dis posed yesterday afternoon to look upon. the news of the arrival of this gentleman as a hoax, and represented it ax such to our reporter. A great many incline, however, to the opinion that “some. Ddody” of the I. RB. landed. Another Fenian armory bad been seized near Dublin. The London Jime corre. spondent in Dublin says that Stephens could have placed a formidable well armed force in the field.’ The London Times hopes that the Co!tet States wilt NEW. YOR “ compensate” England for her passive attitude under the Fenian invasion threats towards Canada, and, edi- torially, expresses its great reliance on Mr. D'Arcy ‘McGee as a pillar of English strength in that colony. The agitation on the Reform bill question was increas- ing in England. ‘The report of an intended ocean race between two of the German steamships, from Southampton for New ‘York, is denied by the Hamburg-American Company.

Bread- stuffs were dull and provisions quiet and steady, The markets in Liverpool and London closed for the Easter holidays from Good Friday to Monday, April 2. CONGRESS. ‘There was no great amount of business transacted in the Senate yesterday. The only action of importance was the passage of the Loan bill, after considerable de- bate, in the same form as it passed the House, by a vote of thirty-two yeas to seven nays, In the House the call for reports of committees was the first business, but no reports were made under the call, The consideration of a resolution, lying over under the rules since January 10, declaring that the House cherish the utmost confidence in the President, and Pledging its co-operation in support of his reconstruc- tion policy, was postponed for two weeks. A resolution was offered instructing the Judiciary Committee to in- quire whether there is cause to believe that Jefferson Davis, Jacob Thompson and others are guilty of con- spiracy or treason, and whether any legislation is necessary to bring them to trial in the district where the crime was committed. A resolution was offered that as the President had doclared the insurrec- tion in Virginla to be at an end, he be requested to take steps for the speedy trial of Jefferson Davis in that State. It was referred to the Judiciary Committeo, A resolu- tion was adopted instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the expediency of extending the rights of naturalization to persons enlisted in the navy, the same as those enlisted In the army. A resolution to the effect that the tax on incomes should be removed as soon as the ordinary branches of revenue are sufficient was laid on the table.

It was usual in civil cases after the evidence for the prosecatjon closed, and the defence propored to call no witnesses, for counsel on the other side to submit to the court the proofs upon which they felled for jndg- mont, Counsel submitted these proofs, after which counsel for the claimants made a statement of the points of law in the case on which they relied for the release of the vessel.

The war cry of the aboli- tion faction was, “no union with slaveholders,” and that of the secession faction was “no union with Yankee abolitionists.” The journals and newspapers of these two sec onal and dis- union factions thus playedjin') each others’ hands, until the combustible political elements ot the South were lighted up in the flames of the late terrible and bloody civil war. For the preservation of the Union we have had to fight the most formidable and tenacious rebellion in the history of any people: a re- bellion entered inio for the perpetuation and expansion of slavery under & separate govern- ment. That rebellion has been put down, aid in putting it dowa we have swept the cause of all its woes, the institution of slavery, from the face of the land, and have rendered ils re-esta)- lishment in any State impossible by an amend- ment of the federal consiltution. Under this con- dition of things the masses of the people, North and South, are disposed to meet again in har- mony under the oid flag, and gradually work out the solution of the great problem of the future political and social status of the eman- cipated black race in the reconstracted South- ern States. But while honest men are crying “peace, peace,” there is no peace. The radical aboli- tion faction, and the radical press of the North, are as clamorous now for the subjection of the South to the emancipated blacks as they were before the war for emancipation or disanion. The Southern radical faction and their firc- eating journals, on the other hand, are equally furious against any fusion or reconciliation with “the hated Yankees,” In every possible way are laboring to keep alive the bitter enmiiies and revenges of the war. Thus at every point they are embarrassing the generous efforts of President Johnson to thape their State legislation and public opinion in harmony with his general plan of restora- tion. Thus upon every issue of reconstruction the Southern fire-eating radicals are furnishing capital to the Northern abolition radicals, and weakening the cause of the South. We would again call upon the sober, sensi- ble, thinking and responsible men of the Southern States to take these fire-eating seces- sion radicals in hand, and turn them from their career of madness and folly; otherwise the conservative men of the North will nlead and confidence towards the excluded Southern There isa great deal of mystery about Sec- retary Harlan remaining in the Cabinet and at the same time using his position to thwart the measures of Mr. Johnson’s administration. The fact that he does remain there, and is co- operating with the radicals, is proof of the po- litical demoralization among our public men. He not only retains his position-in opposition to the wishes of the President, but uses the patronage of his department to assist the radi- cals in their efforts to defeat the policy of the administration of which he isa member. This is the first time in the history of our govern- ment that a Cabinet officer could be found who would openly oppose the policy of the Presi- dent and yet retain his position in the Cabinet, At no former period have our public men shown so great a want of self respect as to remain in office under such circumstances, A disa- greement with the Executive on even a trivial matter of policy by a Cabinet officer was always followed by the resignation of the latter. That course was considered absolutely neces- sary to protect their own honor and retain pub- lic respect. But it seems that this rule no longer exists. Instead of resigning their posi- tions the modern politicians only take that as an excuse to cling to their offices with all the greater tenacity. Such appears to be the rule which governs Secretary Harlan in his political career. Not only does he conspire with the radicals in Congress to defeat the policy of Mr. Johnson’s administration, but his own subordinates go about the streets of Washington and openly denounce the President as a traitor. All this takes place every day, and yet Mr. Harlan offers no rebuke, but to all appearances en- courages them to indulge in such demonstra- tions. He, at least, gives them an excuse by his example. They know that he will find no fault in their saying what he, by his acts, ap- proves. The Secretary knows that he holds his office, even if the President removes him, until his successor is confirmed by the Senate, and upon this mere circumstance he holds on in order to accomplish all the mischief possi- ble. Mr. Harlan, we believe, once claimed to be a minister of the gospel, or, at least, took upon himself the duty of pointing out to sinful man what was necessary for him to do to secure the salvation of his soul. Having taken upon himself that highest of all duties the public supposed that fie would have too much sense of honor, of consistency and of respect for himself to pursue the course which he now does. We are surprised, therefore, that a man of his pretensions to purity and ability should stoop so low as he is now doing. But President Johnson is treating the dis- cordant element in his Cabinet with altogether too much leniency. They are embarrassing and weakening his administration, and if they cannot be brought to recognize the fact that decency and propriety call, for their voluntary retirement, then he ought to remove them at once, and let the Senate take upon itself the responsibility before the people of rejecting them if that body choose. A move of that kind would strengthen the President and increase his popularity. Let him try the example on | one or two members of his Cabinet by remov- ing present incumbents and appointing conser- vative republicans in whom the public have confidence, and he will soon find that a refusal to confirm will arouse a storni of indignation I fhroughout the country that eved tha Senate cannot resist, Mr. Johnson has everything to gain and nothing to lose by a move of that kind. He cannot commence too soon for bis own reputation or for the success of his admin- istration. ‘Tue Astatio Cyorrna ar Tlatarax.—The ac- counts given this morning of the arrival of the steamship England at Halifax, bound to this port, with a number of fatal cases of cholera on board dispels the hope created by Jate news from Enrope that the cholera had halted in iis Western march, if it had not made a retrograde movement.

Moreover, this intelligence should epur our Health Com- missioners to renewed and vizorous efforts to cleanse the city of everything likely to en- courage or to breed contacion. They havo done vory well so far; let them go on in the good work. Prestpent Jonson axp Tur Vereraxs.—In a circular issued to the heads of department the President wisely declares it to be “emi- nently right and proper that the government of the United States should give earnest and sub- stantial evidence of its just appreciation of the services of the patriotic men who, when the life of the nation was imperilled, entered the army and navy to preserve the integrity of the Union, defend the government and maintain and perpetuate unimpaired its free institu- tions,” He therefore directs that in appoint- ments to office in the Executive departments preference shall be given to such meritorious and honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, those who have been disabled by wounds received or diseases coniracted in the line of duty, as may possess the proper quall- fications. In this order the President bas ex- hibited his high appreciation of the services of our veterans, and we hope it will be carried out, both in letter and spirit, If any of his Cabinet officers demur at it or refuse to put it into execution, such contempt of the President’s wishes should be promptly and decisively met by the Executive, Baffalo.
