Tho Senate then took up tho reconstruction resolutions and passed the substitute to the third section by a vote of 32 to 10. Tho substitute provides that no reel who formerly held offic in the United States gov- ernment, orin any State Legislature, or any judicial or executive office in any State, shall be eligible to oilice under the Waited States or under any State, One or two bills were introduced aud reported, and the Sonate adjourned until Monday.

The State of Europe—War Inevitable and Imminent. «Our European news by the Persia somnds like the runibling of a coming earthquake. ‘The next intelligence from the Continent “mary bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms.” War and a general shaking up of empires, kingdoms and principalities, from the Rhine to the Black Sea, are apparently inevita- ble and imminent. It is true that Louts Nu- poleon is professedly lxboring in the cause of peace; bui it is manifest that his purpose ts war and that his camo is to resume his work of European reconsirnction at the point where it was saependod by the peace of Villafranca. Austria so understands it, ag we see, from the concentration of ber two hundred thousand troops in Venetia, all upon a war fooling, and from her encrgetic preparations otherwise for the defence of her tamous quadrilateral. With all the arming, the musterings of men, the threatenings and binsterings in Anstria and Prussia, as against vach other, thero is stilia mutual shrinking and reluctance on both sides in view of the uitimacaum of the bayonet. tween German and German, though of differ- weds and nationalities, there is a family sin favor of peace which would siill prevail but for the intervevtion of a third party, in regard to which the arming for war isin earnest and cannot be mistaken. ‘Th third party is Ialy; but Austria, in that strony- hold of her quad: ilateral might, with less than two hundred thousand men, dety the regular armies of Victor Emanuel and the free corps of Garibaldi combined, but for the palpable visible presence of a fourth party, the or spirit of the whole imbroglio. This fourth party is Louis Napoleon, and Iisiy is but his appointed instrument forthe opening of the ball. ‘This accounts for the heavy military force, in full war fe which Austria las marched into Venetia, white her preparations as aga‘ast Prussia are of that character which admit of some delay. In Prassia, it appears, peace meetiags are ihe orderof the day: that “the wish for peace predomirates over every other feeling,” and that “we shall soon hear that the people will not allow themselves to become the helpless instruments of a despotic annexa- Vou policy.” Bat this popular reaction comes too late, nark, in pursnance of his arrange- men's with Napoleon at Biarritz last summer, hos effected an understanding with Italy, and lialy, railied to the fighting point under the ‘apoleon, fs not disposed to halt for @ reconsideration, Prince Napoleon had returoed from Thaly to Paris with the opinion that “in the actual state of affairs Italy cannot avoid going to war, even should she be left alone to confront the evemy,” the Prince knowing very well that she will not be left alone. Fromm en intelligent souree at Florence We are told that “the general impression throughout Italy is that war has now become absolutely necessary to the national existeace” and that “the aliernative is foreign war or civil war,” which means that Italy is about to Jo. Soe | move upon Venetia by land and sea. Italy, then, will be the first to open fire, ond al rege NEW YORK HERALD, #RIDAY, JUNE 1, 1866. as Napoleon is the backer of Victor Emanucl, whether there is to be peace or war between Prussia and Austria becomes a secondary question. The pronunciamiento of Napoleon from Auxerre, with his detestation of the treaties of 1815, was a formal notice that they are to be overthrown and eet aside—that Austria is to be expelled from Venetia and that imperial France is to be restored to the left bank of the Rhine. The expression of a sin- cere desire for peace, with certain plausible propositions for an accommodation, on the threshold of a premoditated war, is an old Napoleonic device, Hence the movements of the French Emperor towards a confer- ence at this crisis we regard es fying nothing, There is no remedy for his Mexican flasco but some employment to the armies of France nearer home; and through the credulity of Bismark the quarrel between Prussia and Austria over their robbery from Denmark will meet the end desired. As Russia is indifferent whether it is war or peace, and as England is bound to a neutral policy, France stands the master of the situation. The Prince Napo- leon’s return to Paris from Florence wo sus- pect had for its object the information of the Emperor of the day appointed for the Italian army to cross the Austrian frontier. With this appeal to the last resort of kings there is no divining what or where will be the solution of the struggle. It may be in Vienna, as in. 1805, or in Paris, as in 1814 or as in 1815. In any event neither the political principles nor the commorcial interests nor the public credit of the United States will suffer any lozs from another Napoleonic European convulsion. Success ef the New French Theatre— mM for the Future. The success of the new French theatre, on Fourteenth strect, near the Sixth avenue, -is already a thing accomplished. The house has been crowded every cvening since the opening with most fashionable audiences, and the per- formances, both of the French troupe and of the English opera company, have been re- celved with the heartiest applause and laugh- ter. It is probable that this theatre will be almost the only up town establishment tha! will keep open all the summer to profitable busi- nesa. In the face of these facis it is in vain that the Bohemians snarl and carp and attempt to becloud a success which everybody else cordially recognizes. Unable to find anything to criticize in the performances and the man- agement, these fellows have tried %, find fault, with the house. They say that it is new; that it smells of paint; that the corridors are not wide enough; that there are too many door- keepers; that the decorations ure choap and tawdry and that there are foo many caglos perched here and there. The public take a very different view of the mutter ‘and havo unanimously pronounced this theatre"tbe most comforiable and most elegant in the city. But, after all, the Bohemians have some cause for grumbling, and we trust that they may continne to have it, Living as they do upon the oyster stews and lager beer doled out to them by a certain class of managers, they find themselves deprived of their rations at the new French theatre. They quarrel with the building be- cause @ very prominont feature of the old Academy of Music has beon omitted in this new edifice. We refer to that room, just out of the main hall, in which theso Boucmiang used to be fuddled with free lager beer at the expense of the management. So long as that room was kept open and a plentiful supply of beer and cigars provided, so long everything was lovely to the Bohemians. They saw crowded audiencos in the smoke-wresths, if notin the Academy, and the harshest singing sounded harmonious when assisted by the clinking of glasses. It 1s the absence of this apariment in the new theatre that renders the Bohemians so angry with the architect, In order to perpetuate the success of the French theatre it has only to be conducted ia the proper spiri, Manager Juignet bas pre- sented us with a fine ’rench troupe and Me.

[a tho fall Juignet is to strengthen his troupe with several importaiions irom Paris and Madatae Ristori is to appear with a full company of her own selection. sarfo Grau is organizing on Italian troupe, headed by the beaut Everything, therefore, looks promising for the fuinre. Lut we desire to impress upon all concerned the necessity of pre- senting only the very best portormers to the New York public. The days of trickery and shams are passing away ond a new era of art has been inaugurated in this country. The Daly-Bateman eait exposed to the public the devices by which bogus reputations have been manafieinred, and we sincerely hope that all this sort of rubbish has beon buried in the ruins of the old Academy, There is a great lemond here for the very highest order of taleat, especially in opera, The American people are rich and they are willing to pay liberally for their amuscmonis, There is no veason why third and fourth rate singers should be foisted upon them any longer. This is the only country that supports opera inde- pendently by direct popular patronage. In Kurope the governments give a subsidy or the aristocracy make liberal subscriptions. Here the people go to the box office and pay down their money to the manager, who receives no pecuniary aasistance from any other quarter; yet unter a good manager the performances are always remuncrative if the performers are worth hearing, Instead of having the worst artists we ought, therefore, to have the best. We have really sent better singers to Purope than we have received from that half of the world. If perchance a singer wilh a great repulation is engaged by our managers it is when she has been completely used up ia the other hemisphere, and, laving exhausted the patience of every little town and village, desires to come to America as @ Inst resort. Ja the bad old times this swindic was permit ted, but now our public is suMeiently edu- coted-to distinguish between voices and repu- (ations, aud our managers must take the pick of the Buropoan warkot instead of the leaving By continuing to pursue the system agaty which we protest the Academy management repeatedly failed; and because we detormined to expose iis endeavors to impose worn-out artists with cracked and uaknowa artists with no voices upoa the most generons and liberal public in the world, that exlablist, opera Bosechett!, voloes not to sanction these artistic swindles, and the unprecedented increase in our circulation proves that the public have also resolved to support us in this crusade to establish a new era of art, Let the management of the French theatre, which has begun s@ auspiciously, avoid the errors of the old regime. Seoure the very best artists, lyrical and dramatic, and the public will most heartily sustain the now theatre, More Cruelty to Animals—A Quter Gas- tronomie Revolution. The Socicty for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals continues its marvellous work of ‘eform. After having stopped the pinching of the necks of the feath6red tribe aad demanded ® more speedy means of dissolution, such as death by the guillotine or axe, it has now, we observe, devoted its attention to the cruelty practised upon that delicious and imperial roature of the sea, the green turtle. It seems that the captain of s vessel from the coast of Florida has been held for examination on a charge “that in the hold of said vessel » num- ber of turtles were confined in a cruel manner by lying said turtles upon their backs and bor- ing holes through their flesh (fins f), and’cords run throngh said holes for the purpose of se- curing said turtles.” The bad grammor in this affidavit is excusable in consideration of the momentous character of the subject in- volved. Here we see the beginning of a gas- tronomic revolution that must in the end change the entire sysiem of luxurious dict in- dulged in by our opulent epicures and con- Noisseurs of good living. Shade of the immortal Sandy Welsh, who whilom appeased the generous appetites of our mediwval knickerbockers in thy glorions “Terrapin Lunch,” see what innovations have been made upon thy kingdom of especial sub- jects by the progress.of the age! Hear, oh! living Delmonicos, the fiat that has gone forth against the royal family of your peculiar realm! What was Sandy Welsh without green turile? What are the Delmonicos without green turtle? What is Longhi, John Napo- leon, Prime Minister of the Dellas, without his green turtle? What are the great gastrono- mers in all the shades of exuberant and volup- tuous life without their green turtle? Where are the members of the Society for tho Preven- fion of Cruelty to Animals «themselves ? Where is the rich-living agent of the Roths- childs? Where are the ‘redundant merchoot millionaires, with tastes so exquisite and 50 generous that tho “best any market affords” cannot satisfy them? Where are those necia- rian bowls of rich green turtle soup, too afluent to mingle with plebeian appetites; where thoze melting turtle steaks and turtle broils that excite tke palate they pretend to appeuse? Alas! echo, who has a charming epicurean taste, answers “Where?” What is now to be done with the lobster, which, by a singular misapprehension on the part of a European prince, was onge termed the “Cardinal of the seust’” ~The wearinj of his green is s matter not to be put on and off, one day or another, except when the pot boils. The cruelty of boiling creatures like those alive is an atrocity which not even the most callous among the members of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruclty to Animals can reflect on without sympathetic emotions, Where are all you members of the finny tribes—since turtle belong to you, according to.the ploa of the de- fence set up in the case before us--why do you not protest against being caught in the throat by sharp hooks and cast, like “animals” with- out sense of feeling, out of your native ele- ment and upon the coals of a heartless grid- iron? Where are the members of this ulira humangsociety in regard to this cruel busi- ness? Is it not as inhuman to pluck ono sort of an “animal” by the throat aa ii is to pinion another through a fin? All these creatures may be “animals” jn the view of the society; but it would be cult to prove that « hippo- potamus ia a fish because it is amphibious. Here, then, are all the lovers of good und delicious things either in a mess, a stew or likely to be roasted. Further remark is soup cr crogatory almost. The Board of Heal has already stopped our oysters and deprived us of our wing and beer. That Board has es- chewed our “veal,” und the Socicty for the Pre- vention of Cenelty to Animsls vays we must “whoal” But, whether for weal or woe, we hope all these reform boards and ec ‘ will not carry their measures so far as to com- pel the people to adopt a vegetarian dict, like Nobuchaduezzar, Cosrom Hovse Arraims.—Collector Smythe has at lasi commenced removing the radical ofiiccholders in the Custom Honse. He was very slow in beginning his work of reform, bat now that the ice is broken he will no donbt make quick work of if. He has an excellent opportunity to exercise his power in this line, for it is safe to estimate that at least nine-tenths of the old employes are radicals of the strictest type. It will, therefore, be bard work for him to go amiss. Ifhe will only energetically con- tinue this work he will soon see that it will have a good effect upon the radical Congress at Washington. It is reported that the long delay of Mr. Smythe in commencing to apply the guil lotine created some suspicion on the pari of the President that he had been captured by the radicals, ‘The new Collector was therefore sent for and no doubt received positive instractions during his visit at Washington; for immediately upon his return the decapitation commenced. This is all very well; but wonld it not have been much better for President Johnson to have set Collector Smythe an example, by removing his Cabinet and appointing military and naval heroes in their places? A move of that kind would certainly have had a better effect upon the country and shown to the public that the President did not wish his subordinates to do what he refused to do himself. The removal of the radicals in the Custom House is all very well; but ii Mr. Johnson intends to make his administration successful be must comm litle higher up. It is all folly to remove men from minor offices when he retains men in his Cabinet guilty of the same offences.

Now it is cortain that such representations of pestilence and danger can only be mischievous in their effects to the city and the country at lerge in exciting and spreading extravagant rumors, reporis and wpprehensions, We think that the people of this metropolitan district and of the country need not feel any alarm in reference to the cholera. From the several ships which reachod our Quarantine some months ago with the dis- ease on board to a considerable development nota single new case has arisen except among the passengers of those ships, and even among them the disease, if not entirely, has slmost wholly disappeared. In the same way we have reason to believe the disease on board these newly arrived ships, or on any others that may come, will be held to the Quarantine Limits. There is no cholera in this oity nor in any of its suburbs, nor has there been any from this new campaign of the peatilonce, from Mecca westward. Moreover, since its passage across the Mediterranean from Egypt, it has gradually assumed in its European progress a milder type, until it has almost faded out. The disease is now understood and is easily managed, except in the steerages of crowded emigrant or passen- ger steamships, in the poisonous atmosphere of which down below very often the most deadly diseases are generated, cholera or no cholera. We are not aware that any of the cabin passen- gers on these infected cholera vessels have suf- fered from the contagion; a fact of itself which shows that where the atmosphere is not actually saturated with poison there is very little danger. They had the cholera last autumn in Paris; but while it did not interrupt the immense flow of passengers of all descriptions between that city and London there was no alarm in the latter place and no outbreak of the cholera. We believe that as our Board of Healih and our co-operating civil authorities have succeeded so far in holding the disrase at the Quarantine, they can still hold it thore tilf it totally disappears. We. believe that the offi- cials concerned ure doing their duty, that they will be supported in it by all concerned and that in all probability the city, its saburbs, the State and the Union will escape the cholera this summer, with perhaps a few exceptional cases here and there. Let the public be as sured that in the circumstances attending the disease on board these passenger vessels there is not the least occasion for avoiding. this city or flying away. Mausteal, ENGLISH COMIC OPERA AT TH® FRENCH THRATEE, Tho third repressutation of the Doctor of Alcantara was a considerable improvoment on the two preceding ones, as far as the music wont.
