There are no despatches via the cable published this morning. The steamer Dauntless wili arrive by a now arrangement at Aspy Bay early this morning, with despatches received over the cable from Europe yester- day. We have files from Bermuda, dated at Hamilton on the ‘2thof July. The British gunboat Minstrel had arrived from Halifax, Mr. Garton, Gunner of the Minstrel, committed suicide’ on the passage by cutting his throat. The local intelligence from juda is unimportant.

Judge Bills, the Secretary of State of Texas, has re- ceived telegraphic information from the President that the Legislature will be allowed to convene without hin- drance on the 6th. The Governor olect will be inaugurat- ed on the 9th, when the officers of the {provisional gov- ernment will abdicate. It is reported in Brownsville, Texas, that General Sheridan, on his recent visit to that portion of the country, carried official messages to the Juarists, as most of his time was passed in Matamoros. The steamer Star of the South put into Fortress Mon- roe on Thursday to obtain arms, that a guard might bo organized to enforce discipline among about four hun- dred and fifty recruits for the army, on their way to Texas, She sailed again yesterday ovening. An exciting regaita took place yesterday at Totten- ville, Staten Island. There were nine boats entered, including the Anavon, the winner in the last race. The first prize was won by the Jersey Belle, the second by Anavon, and the third by the Lightfoot. The French gunboat La Mégére, which arrived at this port on Thursday, reported having left the United States steamers Monongahela, De Soto, Florida and Mecanico at St. Thomas. She also reports the Bienville to have been at Martinique about the middle of June. ll well on board. The honors paid to General Barry, of the United States Army, who is particularly cherished by the Canadians for his defence of their border against the Fenians on the recent invasion, were very imposing. The troops passed in review before him, woder the command of Major Genera! Sir James Lindsay, and accorded bim a salute, He was to have gone to Quebec last night. ‘The Secretary of State has information from our Con- sul at Toronto that four more of the Fenian prisoners had been discharged from prison, the evidence showing that they were American citisegt,an@ impocent of com- plicity in the invasion. The Treasury authorities tm Cuba have received orders from the department is Madrid revoking the act of the customs regulations which allowed vessels from the United States and Europe arriving at the island to add to their manifests within twelve hours after their arrival in the Cuban ports, The revocation in regard to American ‘veesels takes effect on the 1st of September. By the ‘same order the charge upon the tariff valuation of mer- chandise has been increased from four to sixteen por cent. The Alabama State Convention has appointed the reygisite number of delegates to the Philadelphia Con- ventida, Resolutions approving the President's restora- on policy and accepting the convention invitation were adopted. ‘The Union State Committee, which met at Saratoga yesterday, appointed the Sth of September for the meet- ing of the State Convention to nomimate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Canal Commissioner and Inspector of State Prisons. The New Orleans Riet—The Radical Game the Impeachment of President Johnson. Failing in Congress to carry out their revo- lutionary schemes of reconstruction, in conse- quence of the stout resistance of President Johnson, the baffled radicals have evidently resolved upon a system of bold and desperate expedients for the instigation of mobs and riots in the South, whereby to maintain their ascend- anoy among the Union war elements of the North. Southern “rebel mobs” and riots against Yankees, Soutbern white Unionists and negroes are the very things now most urgently required and desired by Northern radicals for their electioneering purposes. How else can they satisfy the maases of the North that the late rebellious people of the South are as bitterly rebellious as ever, and as unfit to be trusted in the government as when Lee was pushing the columns of McClellan down the Chickahominy, or when Bragg was fulminating his proclama- tions in Kentucky? In this view, the Hon. Mr. Washburne, of Tilinois, has prepared: a fall and elaborate re- port of his investigation of the late onslaught of the “poor whites” of Memphis upon the poor blacks of that place; and we have no doubt that, as electioneering capital against Southern rebels, Northern copperheads and Johnson conservatives, Mr. Washburne’s report will be worked up elaborately on the stump by radical orators, from Maine to California. And the more these riot-inciting radicals South can provoke these outbreaks of Southern whites against Yankees, abolitionists and negroes, the better they will serve the purpose of Thaddeus Stevens and hiscolaborers. Their working political capital has been and must still be made up from such materials. But it is apparent, also, that from these late New Orleans rlota we may look for a case to be made up for the impeachment of President Johnson. This extreme measure of radical hostility was more than once hinted at during the late session of Congress; but the experiment was suggestive of great danger in view of the approaching Con- greasional elections. If, however, by a general hue and cry against Andrew Johnson, as a confederate of ferocious Southern rebels and sympathizing Northern copperheads, these coming elections can be turned ageinst him and « redical majority can be secured in the next Congress, then we may prepare for this threatened case of impeachment. The federal constitution declares that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole power of uepseshpes'” As "Old Thad” de- fines it, in words, the House is the “grand inquest” for the indic' pester? and ond obnoxious federal oles teliese po tion further ordains that “the Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachment,” thet “when the President of the United Slates | he, esd Mall be Justice shall proside;” that “no be convicted without the concit- ns OP twoethirds of the members present,” and that “judgment in ‘cases of impeachment shali not extend further than reifoval from any office of honor. trust or profit under the United States; but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law.” Now, we know that the radicals of the pres- ent Congress have the will and the necessary majority in the House and the two-thirds required in the Senate for the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. It was not expedient during the late session to move in this matter, because it might reactto the advantage of President Johnson in the coming elections for the next Congress. But let the radicals get safely through this contest, and shortly after the reas- sembling of the existing Congress, ia Decem- ber, we shall doubtless hear of charges of im- peachment against the President by the House. _ A leading radical organ thus foreshadows the probable bill of indictment in reference to the late New Orleans riots:—“The more evidence we accumulate, the more we are convinced of the justice of the judgment that the President must be held directly responsible for all that he has done in New Orleans;” that “be engen- dered the spirit which broke forth in riots, murdered loyalists, and finally raised the Con- federate flag;” that said riots “are the result of the President's policy in Louisiana,” and a “fitting sequel to his policy in Tennessee, where the military authorities are prevented trom punishing the authors of the massacre at Memphis;” that the President began his late chapter of usurpations at New Orleans, July 2, “by menacing Governor Wells, a Governor of a sovereign State;” that this lawless and despotic work “was continued by deposing him, and, to make the work surer, by placing the army at the disposal of a rebel officer.” After some other specifications, the radi- cal organ in question asks, “Do we not see this man (President Johnson), while clam- oring against usurpation, performing himself the very highest usurpations when it suits his purpose ?”” Surely here are facts and charges enough, and of sufficient gravity, for a radical impeach- ment of the party accused. Preposterous as these accusations may be, what is the differ- ence to the party accused if his accusers are bent upon his remova!, and have the power in Congress to carry out their designs? The radi- cals profess to be very sanguine of carrying the approaching Congressional elections, sub- stantially as they carried the elections of 1864, If they are successtul to this extent, or even in securing a majority in the next House, there will be reason, we say, to fear the fullest developments of their revolutionary schemes with the reassembling of the present Congress in December, beginning with the impeachment of President Johnson. This, therefore, is now one of the questions to be considered by the people in view of the fast approaching fall elections for the next Congress. ‘Tar Ariayric Casta—Hiaurs Prices WanrEp to Maxe rr Ussrvr.—The great cable between this continent and Europe has now been laid nearly ten days, yet for all practical purposes it remains useless. It is’ very gratitying to Mr. Field, no doubt, to be informed by Mr. Glass that his health was drank ins bomper. “His Honor the Lord Mayor of London” will proba- bly be much by the testimony of “his Honor the Mayor of New York” as to the won- derful things which can be accomplished by “the genius of man aided by the providence of God.” But the public want something more than this, They gre tired of these trifling laud- atory messages. They want work out of the cable. They want to know what the political situation is in Europe—whether peace has been proclaimed, or whether hostilities have been renewed, with France and Russia as additional combatants. All this the cable might tell as; but the wires are choked by stupid, unimpor- tant despatches. The only way to clear them and to render the cable of solid service to the two hemispheres is for the company imme- diately to raise their tariff of charges, Timid people without enterprise are crying out that the scale of prices is already too high. We don’t think so, considering the immense amount of capital sunk. At present the company only charge a hundred dollars in gold for a short message, « rate not sufficient to prevent foolish people asking riddles or sending jokes across the wires. Business messages of vital im- portance to a continent have to wait their turn and take their chance with telegrams of no earthly consequence except to the sender and receiver. It is high time this was changed. Either the company should raise their tariff at once or they should adopt a system by which newspapers or merchants who choose to pay, say double the established rates, can have their messages forwarded before all others upon which only single tariff has been paid. In this way alone, until we get more wires laid, can the Atlantic cable be rendered of real benefit to the community at large. Tas Misswsirret Levex Scusmx.—The appro- priation of a million anda half dollars for re- pairing tho levées on the Mississippi river in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, introduced into the Senate amendment of the Civil Appropriation bill, was non-concurred in by the House. The arguments employed to defeat it were not, perhaps, all sound or logi- cal; but we are glad that the appropriation was not made, for the reasons that, if pamed, it would open the door to all kinds of infamous jobs, involving an extravagant expenditure, and that it would be an encouragement to Von- gress to interpose in the local affairs of the entire country. We object to the general gov- ernment interfering with matters which beiong to States and municipalities, By and by we should have Congress taking care of our streets and houses, our piers and sewers, and cresting jobs for ite friends ell over the country, vith. out any regard to our local interests. General Banks, in opposing the measure, endeavored to show—probably from knowlhdge acquired in his brief military career at the South—that it wae by relieving the small rivers and payous which Sow into the Waster that the difficulties could be removed, ant not by constructing levées at @ vast cost, rmew- me every amounting probaby to pon wihice Baek But we ate MA r to ams the allusions contained in ral Banks’ closing argument, What does he mean by threatening a servile insurrection—e ising of the negro population “ oppremion,” in which tbe negro shall have the assistmce of eat?

If not, what does he HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 000, Freedmen’s Bureau operation is investigated meant His wordsare very strange, and would | the more it is seen that the whole thing iss bear explanation. The Mysteries of the Cable. There area great many who refuse to be convinced that the Atlantic cable is working. There are certainly circumstances which afford ground for this scepticism, and which call for explanation. For our own part we have no doubt as to the fact; for we have conclusive evidence of it in the despatch of our London correspondent of the 28th ult, containing the first announcement of the signing of a four weeks’ armistice. We reproduce it in order to impart more weight to the observations which we feel called upon to make regarding the management of the line :— ecm Loupe, ue 4 20, 1098 di ctinion Oe ee 4 bas been sagued by Prana, Auten ree ca olleme Gm. ‘the propoaons embrace & lating peace over the Europe. whole continent of Lonpom, aly 28-Hewnian. ‘The latest reports from the seat of war state that perce preliminaries between the Powers are pro- grossing, but no details have been received as yet. If we were not satisfied that this despatch was genuine the total silence of the telegrams subsequently received as to the progress of the negotiations would lead us to range ourselves among the incredulous as to the successful working of the line. We have had, to be sure, despatches to the Ist of August giving the quo- tations of the London and Liverpool markets, and an interchange of congratulatory epistles between the great people on both sides of the Atlantic, but they do not satisfy the doubters. They contend thatif the line is “working beau- tifully,” as is asserted, something would be said about a matter respecting which the public care more to hear than even about the prices of cotton and American securities. What, in comparison to it,is the importance of Queen Victoria’s and President Johnson’s mutual felicitations, of the telegraphic enthusiasm of the Mayors of London and New York, and the post prandial eloquence of the cable men? The speculation that as the peace negotiations were only in progress nothing positive could be transmitted over the wires, will not account for the silence observed on the subject. Every one knows that there can always be gleaned from the organs of the European governments sufficient to indicate the direction which mat- ters are likely to take, and consequently people here would have preferred to have had an extract or two from their articles to any- thing that could have been transmitted through the cable, with the exception of the announce- ment of the conclusion of peace itself. There are none more sensible of this fact than the agents of the Associated Press at both ends of the line. Why, then, was no effort made to satisfy the public eagerness in regard to such important indications of the progress of events? Can it be that there are interests out- side the press arrangements which subordinate the latter to their convenience? We should be sorry to be led to such a conclusion ; but as matters stand it would be difficult to imagine any other explanation of this unaccountable reserve. Tus Ravicars anp Gexewat Grant.—The radicals have one answer to cover all their misdemeanors. If you ask them how they account for the wasteful expenditure of the public money on infamous jobs, they will say, “We are going to elect General Grant for President in 1868.” If you follow up this in- terrogatory with a few more and inquire why they have kept the Southern States out of the Union, thereby retarding the progress of the country ; why they have voted thirty millions to the national banks, thus depriving the reve- nue of so much money which the working people have to make up by taxation ; upon what principle .of justice they have made a tariff taxing the necessaries of life at an in- creased rate, and reducing the tariff on luxu- ries ; why they have put three cents a pound on cotton, the principal agricultural product of the country, for the benefit of foreign cotton growers ; why they have undertaken to keep the lazy negroes of the South in idleness at the rate of some ten millions a year, said amount to be drawn from the industry of the laboring white people; why they have flooded the country with taxgatherers, sucking the earn- ings and savings of every household, while there is an overplus of a hundred and ninety millions in the treasury and the national debt still remains ; and lastly, if you charge them with having created the most stupid and disas- trous financial system ever dreamed of, you will b: met with the same answer. They will take you by the button and say mysteriously, “ We are going to elect Grant next President!” Now, gentlemen of the radical republican faction, you are very shrewd ; you have laid your plans and measured your calculations very cleverly ; but this dodge of nominating General Grant does not answer these ques- tions, nor will it serve as a cover for your errors and blanders when the fall elections come about. It will not satisfy the people. If you fancy that you can dodge. behind General Grant and thus save yourselves from the pen- alty of your vices and corruptions, you are mistaken. It may do very well for a while, but it will be of no more avail than the dodg- ing of General Lee at Petersburg and Rich- mond. In the end you will have to fly to the mountains. MaNaGement or THE FreepMeN’s Boreav 1x Texas.—We announced, a few days since, that the investigation of the affairs of the Freed- men’s Bureau in Texas revealed the fact that it was in a worse condition than in any other State. The agents there were engaged in all manner of speculations and outrages upon the negroes. A few days subsequent that state- ment was contradicted by an associated preaq despatch, and all the radical papers, taking their cue from that despatch, at onge com- menced denouncing the Heratp. This was followed by the appointment by General HoWfrd, of the mh charge in Texas to one of most important positions in hia depastmient, We have since published the letters of our correspondent travelling with Generale Steedman and Fullerton, in which we find all our former stalgments more than corroborated. The agents of the Bureau there 4 themselves to one p! fanta- tion, as In South Carolina, bub run fifteen or twenty. Not havitte time to look after the negroes and so lf plantations at the same time, they have turndd the latter business over to old planters and sesidenta, secesh at that. Now, if the planters and old residents of Texas can be trusted with the management of the negroes under the Buresu, why can’t they be trusted without the Bureau, and thus save all this expense? coi |e monster job, run to squander money and enrich a few favorites. What is more, General Howard seems to have a special fancy to those whose records as freedmen officials is the most suspicious. Governor Fenron’s Fauyps Exrosiva His Iwecirry.—The leading radical organ in this city devoted over a column yesterday in show- ing up the way in which the public have been ‘swindled in “ working the Eighth avenue as a country road.” The reckless expenditure of money is given in detail, proving conclusively that the Street Department is squandering the public funds in the most outragous manner and that the city is being robbed with a boldness that has no parallel. The fact that such things exist here is proof positive of the imbecility and utter unfitness of Governor Fenton for his position. Under the law of the Legisla- ture he was given fall authority to examine into the workings of all our city departments and correct the abuses. This made him re- sponsible for the deeds of our city officials, No better evidence can therefore be furnished for his utter incompetency and unfitness for the office of Governor than the expos¢ of the Tribune of yesterday in regard to the Bighth avenue swindle. If Fenton had performed his duty those things could not have taken place. The Governor's own friends are furnishing the evidence which ought to turn every honest tax- payer in the State against him. No man has ever had such an opportunity to serve the public and protect the interests of the people, and yet we never had an official who has done 80 little or exhibited so clearly his own imbe- cility as Governor Fenton has in regard to our city matters, Nearo Inpotence anp NorTsern ENTERPRISE in Concress.—There are more steamships sail- ing between this port and Europe at the present season than at any previous time, which proves that we have trade and resources enough to keep the Atlantic a crowded high- way of steam navigation. But, singular to say, out of the forty or more steamers crossing the ocean only two or three are American vessels. This is a striking commentary on the action of Congress. Whila they have appropriated a sum of from seven to twelve millions per annum to support impudent and indolent negroes under the Freedmen’s Bureau they have not voted a dollar to sustain the industry and enter- prise of the white people of the North in fitting out steamships to oarry the mails and compete with the owners of foreign vessels, who carry our commerce and our mail matter, greatly to their profit and to our disgrace. It appears that Congress can recognize no interest but that of the negro, with the salaries of Con- gresamen thrown in. These two claims being . settled and a grasp of power retained, the in- dustry of the country, its position on the ocean, the honor of its flag, and all such minor mat- ters, may go to the dogs, for all the radicals care, and yet they hope to be re-elected in the fall. Maxuaman on Conriscation.—It is stated that Maximilian, by imperial decree, bas confiscated the estates of Santa Anna in Mexico. This is the result, no doubt, of Santa Anna’s bold enunciation of liberal sentiments in this country in regard to Mexican affairs. ButSanta Anna may have occasion, ere long, to retaliste, not only by confiscating the entire dominions of the usurping Emperor, but by levying upon his crown and other jewels and valuables as indemnity for being so long deprived of the benefit of his Mexican estates, Wanrap—Sovrugrn Riots to Heir ram Rapi- cars.—It baving been deemed necessary to re- peat the old game of “biéeding Kansas” in order to humbug the Northern voters at the coming elections, a number of riots are desired at various prominent points at the South, such as Richmond, Mobile, Memphis and New Or- leans. If twenty or thirty negroes, martyrs to liberty, can be killed at each of these places, #0 much the better for the radical cause, For farther particulars, terms of compensation, &c., apply to Old Thad Stevens, or any other mem- ber of the Reconstruction Committee, CAR FARES, Disregard of the New Law By Some Compa- nies—Compliance With It By Others—How to Receive Cheap Rides—The New Rail- roads of Brooklyn, &c. The Interna) Revenue law, under which city railroad companies are obliged to sell tickets by the dollar's worth, with only two and a balf per cent tax added to the legal rate of fare—five conts—is, so far, disregarded by the companies in this city. Three of the companies, as far as we could learn—the Third, Sixth and Eighth avenue lines—are certainly offering tickets at the rate of twenty for $1 03, or forty for $2 06, but those tickets can only be obtained at the ap town offices of the above com- panies, which aro by no means convenient points. Some of the other companies promise to have the tickets ready in a few days ; but they will be for sale only at therr offices in the upper part of the city. On the Seventh avenue line applicants for tickets were informed that the company had none for sale and that tne fare would be six cents as usual. The Fourth Avenue Railroad Com. pany, not being obliged by its charter to the same condi. tions as the other companies, will not issue any tickets.

The two years men, he saya, received 8 bounty of $100, and he thinks they are em titled to something more, notwithstanding they did mes vote at the last Presidential election in accordance wit the ideas and plans of certain radical politicians, These two years men volunteered in the service of the country before draite and large bounties were talked about, and the writer thinks their services were as valuable to the nation, at least in the proportion of one to twenty, aa those of the men who voted an addition of $2,000 s yeas to their salaries, The Garbage Box Nuisance. A resident of the Fifth ward says, why in the name of common sense and decency do not the Board of Health mitigate to the extent of their power the garbage box nuisance, Why let them stand so long, he asks, with their reeking, seething contents, mixed oftentimes with the foulest fluids and filth, in the hot san, polluting the atmosphere, Let the boxes be cleansed and disinfected ‘at least once a day, and especially on Saturday nightn ‘This could be done without fear of injunctions from Cas doso judges, and the Board of Health should not let aa- other day pase without issuing the necessary orders fer carrying out the object herein alluded to, Shall we Eat ¢ A gentleman wif seems puzzled about his dict things it would be a good plan for the Board of Health to issme @ list of what kind of provisions we should cat ia these cholera times, Let them state what veg- etables we can copsume with impunity, end what are dangerous; what meats we can eat with safety, and what kinds would be likely to Prove injurious; and let thom also state what effects ces- tain meats and vegetables produce upon thesystem. He goes further, and thinks the Board of Health could far- nish us a list of drinks, and tell us what kind of beverages to avoid. Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroad. A resident of Red Bank, N. J., complains of the above road, inasmuch as they start their boat from this city be- fore time, and their trains on the road considerably after time, and that they charge seventy-five cents fare te Red Bank and only twenty-five cents to Long Branch, which is seven or eight miles further. Employment for Disabled Soldiers. There are thousands, says one of the number, of men who have served their country and become disabled by leaving a leg or an arm on the battle-fleld, who are forced to throw themselves upon the generosity of the public for a living. Something ought to be done to re- Heve them, by giving them such employment as they are able to perform. The veteran who thus writes says in our up town parks there are stout, healthy men em- ployed as keepers. In Washinzton park there are sevem whose duties are simply to sweep the paths and keep the place in order, for which they receive three doliare each aday. These duties, ho says, could be performed by crippled soldiers, many of whom have families de pending upon them, and who are unable, by their dis ability, to do the work of laborers. Stale Vegetables and Unripe Fruit. A physician is fearful that the attention of the Board of Health has been diverted from the enormous rales of stale végetabies and unripe fruit which are made daily ta this city, He says if the sale of such trash is prohivited there will be a decrease of at least one half the sickness ‘We cannot opea eur columns to a controversy between: firemen, or any other class of aggrieved persons, but ws publish the following contradiction ia order that the pabite may not be misinformed in‘ relation to the rules of the | ‘The above practice has been repeatedly complaised by citizens who are annoyed by it.
