The points to be conferred on relate to the disposition bf the Sea Island cotton lands, The House forbids the surrender of the lands now held by the freedmen wader General Sherman's order, The bill as pasecd by the Senate contains provisions under which the former owners may get possession of these lands, except such as have been sold for United States taxes. The Indian Appropriation bill was taken up The bil! as ft came from the House makes the regular annual ap- Propriation for the support of the Indian Department, the carrying out of treaties, &c. The Sena‘e Finance Committee recommended certain amendments, and after some discussion the further consideration of the bill was postponed until Tuesday. {n the House the bill consolidating the land offices 4n Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Arkansas, and also the House bill entitting to the benoilte of the Pre- emption and Homestead acts citizens of the United States residing tn towns or villages of New Mexico and Arizona, and who are the bona fide owners of the im- provements thereon, were passed. The House, after come further unimportant business, proceeded to the consid- eration of the Tariff bill. Several amendmenta were adopted, and seven pages of the bill were disposed of. Tho report of the Committee of Conference on the Parir Exposition bill, concurring in the Senate imendment, was agrood to. THE CITY. No cases of cholera were reported to the Board o ‘Foalth yesterday. Asmall number of complaints were received, one of which was in reference to one of the crowded and badly ventilated tenement houses for which this city is 80 famous, The Commissioners of Excise have already received $1,100,855 for license fees. Two hundred and eighty injunctions have already been issued against the Com- missioners, of which a very large number were served yosterday. ‘Ihe Joint Committees of the Common Council, Commissioners of the Siaking Fund and United States xovernmont appointed to decide on the aite for the new Post Office, met yertorday in the Comptrolier's office, The tion passed by the Commissioners of the und a few days since to offer the lower part of the City Hall Part to the United States government for that purpose for the sum of five hundred thousand dollars, waa ananimourly adopted. The Postmaster and District Attorney on the part of the government committee both voting in the affirmative, it may be regarded as accepted dy the United States authorities, Yesterday afternoon a contest took place from the cove off the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, between the Mu- taal Boat Clab of Albany and the Atalanta Club of this city. The boats used were six oar outrigger, and were manned by picked crews from both organizations. The distance rowod was three miles, which course was gone over in (ho short space of eighteen minutes and forty- three seconds, the Atalanta proving the winning boat by Gfteon seconds, The return match between these clube will take place within the next fifteen dayr, Thousands of both sexes witnessed the race, Patrick Conway, sailor, dicd at his boarding house, No. 29 Monroe street, it is alleged, from continued brutal treatment while on board the ship T.

The Executive Committee of the West Side Association held a meeting on Friday. Resolutions were adopted re- monstrating against the opening of new streets and other proceedings by the Common Council, in the vicinity of the Park, without the consent of the Park Commission- ers. On Friday afternoon workmen wore busy laying rails for horse cars on 125th street. Tho bill for this road was passed by the Council and vetoed by the Mayor. No further action had been taken legislatively on the matter, aud tho citizens residing on that street, to whom the proposed road was very obnoxious, did not under- stand by what authority the laying of the track was commenced. On Saturday morning the rails were found torn up, but by whom is not known. The stock market was dull, but steady yesterday, Gold closed at 15334 a %. The continued high price of gold rendered the markets firm as a general thing on Saturday, and though com- paratively little business was done the sales were gener- ally at full prices, Commercial values which are affected by the tariff will be likely to be irregular until the bill, now before Congress, shall have become the law of the tand. Cotton was dull and nominally lower. On ’Change breadstuffs were firm, but quiet. Wheat was firm, but dull. Corn and oats were 1c. lower, with only a mode- rate demand. Pork opened duil and heavy, but closed firm and quite active, Beof was steady, while lard was dull and heavy. Whiskey was quiet. Freights were firmer. MISCELLANEOUS.

The advices by the Bremen will be three and those by the Damasous five days later than the report of the Java, Our Florence correspondent, writing on the 11th of June, states that Italy, with all ber nattonal enthusiasm and fire, had decreed that Venetia shall be free. She accepts the issue of war with Austria full of hope and after a mature consideration of the dangors which must inevitably result to her from the continuance of a state of armed peace. It was proposed by Parliament, and certain to be carried into effect, to abolish all the religious corporations in the kingdom and apply their revenues to state uses, ‘The law which exempts the clergy from military service was likely to be repealed; and as there are one hundred thousand priests in the country it was thought the ecclesiastical body would furnish quite a respectable quota to the army, Garibaldi was as popular as ever, and Victor Emanuel was just about to start for the front. We publish this morning a map of the Vene- tian Lagoon, with its islands, towns, forts, and ali that is interesting stragetically, Our special report of tho latest Paris fashions, dated on tho 15th of June, conveys in very animated language an excellent idea of the condition of what is known as ‘society’ in the French capital, as well as a description of the prevailing styles of ladies’ dresses. Strange to say, there was nothing moro in taste or newer out of doors than what was to be sven on ® singer from the Opéra Comiquo and a dancer from the Chatélet when enjoying themselves in the company of a baron, @ leader on the turf. The wardrobe economics practised by one of these ladies and reported in the dialogue which wo publish indicate at least the possession of a good deal of prudent fore- thought, while her plan of regulating her dress by the state of the thermometer is certainly amusing. Our Freedmen’s Bureau correspondent gives an inter- esting letter from Grenada, Miss, There are more in- stances of outrage, bitterness and lawlessness in that State than {in all the othors combined that have been visited by General Steedman on his present tour, An officer of the Bureau was recently called out of bis house and shot through the head by two persons whom the authorities are unable to discover, The headquarters at Meridian wore broken open and the officers also fired at, <A reign of terror is established at Grenada by the guerillas of the war, whose supposed leader is a brothor of General For- rest, of the rebel service, There are no troops whatever at Grenada, and General T. J. Wood does not appear to have done anything more than offer reward for tho arrest of the officer's murderers, Tho official report of Admiral Godon, of the United States squadron off the Brazilian coast, confirms the nows published yesterday concerning affairs on the Parana He says, in addition, that the allies, by the “secret treaty,"’ are pledged not to treat with Lopez, and ho will not willingly give himself into the hands of his enemies so long as he can maintain himself at the head of an army. Tho practice fleot for the use of the students at the Naval Academy sailed from Fortress Monroe yesterday. They will cruise two weeks and then rendezvous at Port- land. The United States steamer Lancaster sailed from San Francisco Juno 27 for Panama, The New Party Move at Wi tom and the Administration. We learn from Washington that an address to the people of the United States has been agreed upon by the democratic and conserva- tive members of Congress, that it is now being signed by them, that it fally endorses the pro- posed national convention of conservatives to be held at Philadelphia August 14, and urges participation in its proceedings, and, finally, that this forthcoming address will be headed by the names of Senator Guthrie (democrat), of Kentucky, and Representative Niblack (democrat), of Indiana—the grand idea of this movement being a fusion or co-operation in the approaching elections for Congress of all the opposition elements against the party in power. On the other hand, it appears that within a few days past a series of caucuses have been held by the leaders of the radical party of Con- gress, and that they have agreed to “calla convention of the States now represented in Congress early in September, at some place yet to be designated, which convention shall fix a platform for the party now in antagonism to the Executive and put in nomination General Grant” as the radical candidate for the succes- sion. It farther appears that it is the purpose of the radicals strenuously to resist any and every movemont designed to give to the ex- cluded Southern States a voice in the Presidential contest of 1868; and hence this carly movement to secure the namo and co- operation in this scheme of General Grant and the army. Here, then, upon one question at least, are two strongly defined antagonistic party move- ments f@& the next Presidency, and especially designed for the preliminary work of the com- ing elections for the next Congress. The demo- erates and conservative Johnson republicans stand forth for the immediate readmission into Congress of the lately rebellious States, and of course for their participation in this next Presi- dential election. The radical republicans hold the ground that the excluded States are not sufficiently reconstructed to be readinitted into the government, and “old Thad Stevens” and his followers are undoubtedly resolved to ex- clude said States, at all hazards, from any voice in our nationai affairs until after the election of our next President. This is the main issue ceed ee between Thaddeus Stevens and Andrew John- her, | son and between the opposing elements which they represent. But this question must be determined by the NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JULY 1, 1866. States now represented in Congress, and in these States, if we may judge from the last Connecticut election, this issue will not be suf- ficient for the defeat of the Congressional re- publicans, The old antagonisms against rebels and copperheads. are still strong among the rank and file of the Union party of the war. Something more, then, than the immediate re- storation of the South to its constitutional rela- tions in the government is needed for the plat- torm of this national Johnson party movement; and it is wanted from the administration. The present Cabinet holds the Executive in subor- dination to the radical faction, and while it is continued the idea of an effective popular Johnson campaign against the radicals appears to us perfectly absurd. After the fashion of General Jackson, therefore, in cutting loose from Calhoun, Mr. Johnson’s position demands the bold proceeding of a complete reconstruc- tion of his Cabinet. And still another Jacksonian stroke of policy fs needed, in a requisition upon England for the indemnities due for those aforesaid Anglo- rebel spoliatiots upon American commerce; and still another, upon the great money quea- tion of the day. With all the efforts of the radicals to keep the negro question in the foreground, it must very soon be overshadowed by the mignitude of the money question, in prices, taxes, currency, inflations, &c., all over the country. President Jackson secured his .| re-election from his declaration of war against the old United States Bank and its branches, as constituting a financial monopoly dangerous to the liberties of the American people. The people rallied to Jackson’s support, and that terrible bank monster, with its thirty millions of capital, was put down. But “Old Hickory,” in attempting to supply the place of that dreaded national bank witlthis pet bank sys- tem, only went from bad to worse, as was proved, first in the facilities and in the rage for speculation which followed, next in the grand financial collapse and revulsion of 1837, and then in the flooding of the country with ir- responsible and worthless shinplasters, the issues of cities, villages, corporations, factories, distilleries, grocery stores, and crossroad taverns. Hence the tremendous popular re- vulsion against Martin Van Buren and the democratic party in 1840. Now we contend that the clements as a mo- nopoly held by the old United States Bank put down by Jackson, and the elements of corrup- tion, financial ruin and universal distraction developed in the “pet bank” system pus down with Martin Van Buren, are ail embodied in the p-t bank system of our present national banks. All the evils, all the dangers of those old pernicious financial experiments, we say, are twenty times over embodied in our existing national banks. Their name is legion, they are still increasing, and they are corrupt from first to last. In the privileges of their circula- tion they take, we may say, from twenty-five to thirty millions of money annually from the public treasury; and altogether they form a moneyed oligarchy compared with which “Nick Biddle” and Company were a mere bagatelle. Let President Johnson, in addition to the other things suggested, strike at this mon- strous national bank system and its evils and make its overthrow an issue with the radicals, and his administration may realize in 1868 the popular vindication of that given to Old Hickory’s in 1833. ‘The Cholera Scare and Its Lessons. We presume that the cholera scare may now be regarded as at an end. During the past few days the thermometer has been among the nineties, but instead of developing the cholera this intense heat seems to have annihilated it by giving the public something else to talk about. A week ago there were a few supposi- titious cholera cases in and about the city, but now’ the panic-mongers are so destitute of ma- terial that they have had to invent a story about an old woman in some impossible part of the island to give even a color of plausibili- ty to their theories. In point of fact there lias not been any cholera in New York this season, and there is no likelihood that we shall have any more trouble about the disease. People in the country who have allowed themselves to be frightened out of their small wits by the reports published in the sensation papers, may now resume their visits to the city with im- punity. The excitement about the cholera has taught us sevegal valuable lessons, however, although it has not quite reconciled our citizens to some of the operations of the Board of Health. In the first place, it has shown that the personal cleanliness and the neat habits of the Anglo- Saxon race are to 9 great extent a preservative against those terrible epidemics which de- vastate Oriental and European cities. The cholera raged in Turkey, in France and in Germany, but did not infect England, and it died out as soon as it was imported into the United States. Communication between England and the Continent was uninterrupted; but still the cholera did not come. Ships loaded with cholera patients arrived at this port; but still the disease did not extend to the shore, It has been previously noticed that the cholera breaks out in filthy localities and avoids the better portions of most cities; but it now appears that this characteristic is equally remarkable upon a large scale, and that cleanly countries, as well as cities and wards and houses and individuals, are comparatively safe. A distinguished traveller relates that in Con- atantinople, while the natives were dying aroand him by thousands, he preserved him- self, his family and his servants from the chol- ora by the constant use of the bath. This case is worth noting; for it suggests an easy and a sure preventive against almost all conia- gious diseases. Cigantiness is not only next to godliness, as the Scriptures declare, but it is also agreat deal better than doctors. We are not advocating the cold water cure, which is bathing carried to excess and is often as+ian- gerous as too much medicine; but we do recommend the establishment of public baths and the passage of a law compelling the loca- tion of one or more bathing tubs in every tenement house. Cholera or no cholera, such simple measures as these would greatly benefit the public health at all times. In this country every well appointed house has its bathroom, and indeed few private residences, no matir, how cheaply constructed, are now built wiP,out this convenience. The greater part of our population is, theréfore, already pryyided for in this respect, and we believe the’, this has had {| mach to do with keeping UW: cholera away from ws. But the poorer vy asoa of poople, who 1 cannot ‘Lio ooy fi“ hathing at a harher’s, have no bath rooms at home, and those capi- talists who erect tenement houses will never furnish these or any other sanitary indispensa- bles unless they are compelled by law. Give us such a law and a few large public baths for our floating population, and the city will then only require @ careful quarantine—located elsewhere than at Staten Island—and the ordi- nary regulations of the sewerage and the streets to become perfectly healthy. If the Board of Health and the doctors would address them- selves to this subject, instead of scaring people with long documents and bogus reporis about the cholera, they would do the city a greater service, The Evils of the National Bank System. We have from time to time exposed the evils of the National Bank system, and although there is a powerful moneyed monopoly inter- ested in perpetuating the monstrous fraud upon the country, we see that Congress and the people begin to get some correct ideas upon the subject. Notwithstanding the efforts that are made to cheat the public as to the real character of this fraudulent and dangerous sys- tem, some of the public men at Washington and a@ portion of the press of the coun- try have taken a bold stand against it. Tho more we reflect upon the matter the more ex- traordinary {t seems that such a system should ever have been put into operation. In ordi- nary times, as in times of peace, this could not have occurred. But designing politicians and shrewd speculators seized the opportu- nity, when the public mind~+ was ab- sorbed by the war, to foist their ruin- ous scheme upon us, Congress was as ignorant as schoolboys of the great ques- tions of national finance and currency, and was carried away by scheming politicians and financial theorists. But the time has come when this gigantic swindle must be seen in all its detormity. We have shown that the people are cheated out of some twenty-five millions of dollars a year by giving the so-called national banks the benefit of a circulation which the government ought to have. Let us state the case again, for it will bear repeating, and ought to be im- pressed upon the minds of the people. The national banks have a circulation of nearly three hundred millions, and it is contemplated to increase this to four hundred millions. The profits on the existing circulation are at least twenty-five millionsa year. The banks are private corporations, and of no use to the gov- ernment or country, but, on the contrary, are dangerous nuisances; yet this immense sum, a sum that afew years ago would have paid all the expenses of the government, is given freely to these private corporations without the least consideration. This is an indirect tax upon the people. But, it may be said, the country must have a currency, and somebody must profit by it. Very well, then, let the govern- ment profit by it, and let that amount be saved and applied to the liquidation of the national debt. What more natural, reasonable and simple? Who would not rather have legal tenders than the national bank notes? We know that as long as the government exists the former will be good; but we do not know how far the latter would be so in a great finan- cial crisis, when the securities of the banks might be thrown upon the market like a flood. This, however, is not the main point we aim at. Our point is this: the three hundred millions of national bank circulation could be withdrawn and the same amount of legal tenders substi- tuted in its place. The volume of currency would not be increased, while by issuing these three hundred millions of legal tenders the same amount of interest bearing bonds could be cancelled; that is to say, buy up the bonds now deposited by the national banks for their circulation, or an equal amount of other bonds, by this new issue. Thus the volume of currency would not be increased, we should have a better currency, and we should at the same time reduce the interest bearing debt three hundred millions. [t seems to us that this proposition is so plain that a child might understand ft. The danger to our political system of per- potuating this enormous monopoly of the na- tional banks we have spoken of before .and need not repeat what we said. The old United States Bank, about which there was such an outcry, was not half as dangerous. Theso national banks should be regarded with suspi- cion and apprehension, however, in another point of view. We refer to their power in fore- stalling and controlling the markets and busi- ness of the country. The farmers of the West, the planters of the South, and the business of the country everywhere are at their mercy. No class or interest of the community could resist their influence or thelr combinations to monopolize. We complain of high prices, and justly; but the cause of these high prices is neither the premium on gold nor the difference between gold and the currency, but the mono- poly and influence of the national banks. They control the markets for their own benefit. The capital which the government literally gives them enables them to forestall the markets, keep up high prices, and oppress the people. In whatever point of view we look at them they are dangerous and monstrous evils, without any redeeming quality. Is it not high time, then, that the whole system should be abolished? If these banking associations or corporations choose to do s banking business let them do it on the circulation of government notes—on legal tenders—but not on a currency given to them by the government without the least equivalent. Will Congress take steps to save twenty-five millions a year in the way we propose, or continue to throw it away by fos- tering a monstrous monopoly? This is a ques- tion of far more importance than that of negro suffrage or of mutilating the constitution for | the sake of the negroes, } Tur Frerpwey’s Bureau Aare, —General Saxtom has followed the example of other agents of that abominable institation, the Freedmen’s Bureau, by writing a so-called reply to the Guarges brought against him by Generals Sedan and Fullerton, the Commis- sioners appointed by the President to investi- gate alg work. Of course he grows very enthu- Sigaye in his own defence, The worst offender, even when caught In the act, can always plead not guilty and tell « plausible story to excuse bis misdeeds, The reply of General Saxton is of jost this character, and can weigh nothing with the President or the public against the official statements of the competent and an- prejudiced gentlemen who have been oxamin- ing the practical workings of the Buytau. But if General Saxton thinks that he has a g00d explanation rendy. and can @lear hi if from the responsibility for the conduct of freed- men’s affairs in South Carolina, let him demand ® military court of inquiry and face the facts bravely. To be sure this remedy is very dan- gerous, for General Saxton would probably be disgraced and dismissed if found guilty; but if he is as conscious of his own innocence as he professes to be he will not flinch from this risk, We can assure him that the pub- lic regard him with distrust, and that the report of Generals Steedman and Fullerton upon his case is universally secepted as cor- rect. He cannot alter this popular verdict by | simply saying that he is not guilty; but he may do so by presenting evidence before a court of inquiry. At any rate we are in favor of let- ting him try it. Tam Pennsyivanta Central Monopoiy anp Sm Morton Peto’s Prosect.—We gave in our telegraphic reports yesterday the substance of a decision in the courts of Pennsylvania in regard to the controversy over the Catawissa Railroad, between the Pennsylvania Central and the Atlantic and Great Western companies. The courts, it seems, have confirmed an old lease or contract made between the Catawissa and Phil- adelpua and Erie Railroads in October, 1860. The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad is owned by the Pennsylvania Central, and the declara- tion that this old contract is still valid and legal cuts off the subsequent contract made by Sir Morton Peto and his party. Such, at least, is the inference that we draw from the brief synopsis of the decision furnished us by tele- graph. This, we take it, puts an end to the extension of the Atlantic and Great Western to the Atlantic seaboard over that route, and effectually defeats the project of Peto and McHenry to secure original property as a basis for the issue of new bonds that were to rescue the firm of Peto & Co. from their financial embarrassments. ‘Tue Presipine Orricer or THe Senatre.—We have the rumor from Washington that the ques- tion of superseding Senator Foster as Presi- dent of the Senate has been revived at Wash- ington among the radicals. It must be remom- bered that, as things now stand, in the event of the death or impeachment of President John- son, the President of the Senate would become pro tem. President of the United States. Mr. Foster, as President of the Senate, has shown himself a little too conservative to please the radicals, and it is not improbable, thorefore, that he may be shelved towards the close of this session, He has laiely received one un- mistakable radical rebuke in the Connecticut Legislature in being rejected as a candidate for re-election, and it ia quite likely that he is markod for the bowstripg at Washington, Canisa Uron Hercvtes.—The venerable po- etical and political editor of the Post, who, since the fights over the protective tariff of 1828, has stuck to the democratic faith upon free trade as expounded by Calhoun, is shocked at the Tariff bill now before Congress. He hopes that, if the bill passes, it will be vetoed, and he cannot see how it can get the approval of President Johnson. The veto of the Civil Rights bill, in the estimation of the Post, was an awful blunder; but “circumstances alter cases.” The venerable Bryant, like the rest of them, does not hesitate to call upon Hercules when his go-cart gets stuck in the mud, Popular Ideas. ACCIDENTS ON THE SECOND AVENUE RAILROAD, Julia, a Indy sufferer on the second avenue cars, is Pleased with the Hxmatp articles on railroad accidents, buat is pained to see that those which occur on the Second avenue, caused by the “dummies,"’ are not referred to. She says that the accidents caused by frightened horses, broken carriages, and people killed and injured by the dummy engines are of almost every day-occurrence. Julia's complainta, however, do not end here. She says the dummies area nuisance and they render it impossible to live with any degree of com- fort on the upper end of the road. The steam and smoke Hl the houses and the noise makes the people nervous and deprives them of their regular sleep, which, of course, must be detrimental to health. OVERCROWDING THE THIRD AVENUE Cans. Another up town resident desires to enter a comp!aiat against the management of the Third avenue cars. He says that a stranger who attempts to work his way up town by these conveyances, in the neighborhood of six o'clock in the evening, will find it # hard road to travel. He thinks that the company should pat om more cars at the particular time when travel is the greatest * It is his opinion that if sickness sbould come the Third avenue cars would be the mediam of spreading the disease, THE PRIZE TIGHT ON WARD'S ISLAND.

REFORM NAKDED ON THE SOUND STRAMERS. A moralist is very anxious that something should b done to rid the Boston boats of lewd women.
