Commissioner Rollins, of the Internal Revenue De- partmont at Washington, has decided that the issue of such fare tickets as the Dry Dock and East Broadway Railroad Company have irsued is an agreoment which requires a five cent stamp affixed to each of them, and the charge of twe conte extra for a batch of twenty tickets, claamed by the company to cover additional ex- pense, is a fraud. Some new developments came to light yesterday in fogard to the late Lord bond robbery In Exchange place. Two men, named Howard and Pettingill, who are be- leved to have been the main manipulators in the trans- action, were arrested on the 15th inst. Ennis, who was arrested and escaped, porformed tne diplomatic part of tho work, being assigned to the task of interesting Mr, Lord and attracting his attention while the others ab- otracted the bonds, A fourth party is still at large who acted as receiver of the stolen goods. Further disclosures concerning the workings of the detectives in this city are being made public daily. Two ‘statements are made this morning which still further implicate Captain John Young, the detective. Anothor murder was committed in this city on Wod- nosday night,on Eighth avenue, near the corner of Twonty-ninth street, the victim being Thomas F. Wright, employed as a mossonger in the Chemical Bank. The alleged murderer was John J. Skehan, and the fatal act ia said to have been the result of some jocular remarks mado about @ lady's hat. Both parties were somewhat undor the influence of liquor. Bernard Friery will be executed this morning at the Tombs, for the murder of Harry Lazarus, if’ no reprieve should come from Govornor Fenton, who bas been ap- pealod to by the friends of the condemned man to spare his life, Some particntars respecting the conduct of Friory in prison and his interviews with his mother and friends will be found in another column.

We have a report from Paris of the 15th, by the Atlantic cable, that the French government had abandoned the idea of ex- tending the frontier of France by the an- nexation of certain German provinces on the Rhine. Napoleon may have caused certsin hints to be thrown out in this direction in order to gain time or to sound the public opinion of France in reference to the back- down suggested ; but his detestation of those treaties of 1815 no doubt remains the same as when he made that audacious little speech at Auxerre. He there proclaimed himself the champion of the imperial programme of his uncle ; he intended France so to understand him, and his speech was so understood and accepted by the French people. They have accordingly been expecting great things either from the diplomacy of the Emperor or his splendid army—from @ European Congress or & campaign on the Rhine, On the ofher hand, it may be said that when Napoleon finds himself in an untenable or dangerous position he does not hesitate to withdraw from it; and his peace with Austria in 1859 of Villa Franca, and his retirement from Mexico, may be cited as examples of his prevailing prudence under the strongest temp} tations for rashness, But the abandonment of the idea of the extension of France to the Rhine, under the present situation of things in Europe, involves such a loss of prestige and popularity to Napoleon and the empire as to make his surrender quite as dangerous to him- self asa declaration of war. It is a question which will probably take as much time for a settlement by negotiation as by the sword. We apprehend, indeed, that the sword will at French government, upon twenty-four hours’ ti bles upon which thoy feed are i NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1866. da lon and helplesanees, te be on the verge of a genoral break-up through a revolu- tionary of her various. “ peoples,” especially the herolo and republican people of Hungary, who in 1849 were only checked in their victorious march towards independence by the intervention of Russls with an atmy of nearly two hundred thousand men. That Hungarian revolution was eet in motion by the French republican revolution of 1848, resulting in the exptiision of Louls Philippe, and in the setting up of that experimental povtioal republic of Lamartine, which was first secured and then od by the present Napoleon with bis coup d’dat and the empire. Bat why may not the revolutionary con- tagion spread from Hungary to Franoe, ag woll as from France to Hungary? When the loyal Austrians proper of Vienan meet their “hitherto venerated Kaiser with the ory of “Abdicate!” “abdicate!” when thou- sands of brave Hungarians taken as prisoners of war by Prussia, in his service, accept with gratitude their release on the condition of undertaking the independence of Hungary, we may well pause to inquire, is Austria to go to pieces from this disastrous confiéct, or will ehe still, survive, even’ as a second rate power, through tho helping hand again of Russia? ‘This, too, is an interesting question, and one which will depend as much for its settlement upon the movements of the revolutionary clements of the Con@iti@mt as upon the manag- ing statesmen of thé Great Powers. We aiill hold to the impression that peace is not seoured in Europe; that war ontside of France has become a necessity to Louts Napoleon to avoid an internal revolution, and that while courts and cabinets are discussing the rectifi- cation of their boundaries, “the peoples,” as in 1846-9, and with more system and force, may rise and change the whole programme from France to Hungary, or from Hungary to France. The Radical Bid for the Irish Vote. Tho radicals have fairly commenced the campaign for the fall elections, Their leaders are already on the stump, and the first element they have selected to appeal to is the Fenian Brotherhood. The Fenians no doubt number a great many votes, though they are not all naturalized citizens yet. The radicals evidently calculate on securing a largo Irish vote on tho ground that President Johnson interfered with the late Fenian atiack on Canada and blocked the game. In this they may be mistaken, for, however disappointed the Irish portion of our population may be at the course which the ad- ministration took in the Canadian affair, they have always been among the most conservative of the people, and regard the general interests of the country too highly to assist in keeping its destinies any longer in the hands of the bloodthirsty faction which, after prolonging the late war two or three years more than was necessary, heaping up taxation and obstructing the restoration of peace, have the impudence to ask for an extended lease of power. « The so-called Fonian picnic at Chicago the other day, at which, even according to radical accounta, only “a fair portion” of those present wore Fenians and their friends, Gov. Oglesby, of Itinois, Speaker Colfax and Gen. John A. Logan, the radical candidate for Congress, in- dulged in the most violent and beastly abuse of the President, and made a direct proposal in a series of the morest clap-trap, buncombe speeches for the Fenian vote. Governor Ogles- by, who denounced the Chief Executive of the nalion as “the scoundrel who stumbled into the Presidential chair,” conjured all Irishmen to vote for the radical “party of liberty,” pro- mising that this party, which has kept our own country in the vassalage of fanaticism for the past two years, would help the Irish people to obtain their liberty, and swore before God that he would utterly annihilate the bloody British government. After a good deal more blarney and blackguardism, ingeniously mixed, the Gov- ernor of IMinois gave place to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who, after making as much capital as he could out of the Fenian raid and abusing the President of the United States to his heart’s content, declared that the radi- oal Congress was in favor of Ieish independence, and promised that the Irish should have « par- liament of their own on “Dublin Green,” wherever that is; at which shallow nonsense of course the Irish part of the meeting laughed and cheered immensely. General Logan fol- lowed in the same strain of stump oratory, boasted of his Irish origin, and, we regret to say for the reputation of a brave soldior, made statements with regard to the President’s en- couragement of Fenianism which are not borne out by facts. There is no better evidence of the desperate straits-to which the radicals are driven than this attempt to capture the Irish vote. We ex- pect to see a great many other picnics got up during the campaign, of which “a fair por- tion” of the participants may be “Fenians and their friends.” The radical orators will be on hand, of course, and they may help to foot the bills. The Irish people are always ready for fun and enjoyment, but they are too sagacious to be duped by such humbug as was furnished by the stump speakers at Chicago. It is much easier to get them to laugh at the transparent blarney of these men—who they know well enough belong to the same class that led the Know Nothing, anti-Irish faction «few years ago, and would head another now if they could make political capital out of it—than to in- duce'them to vote against the welfare of this country, in which they have a strong and en- during interest, It may be that there are men prominent among the Fenians who have been in the Senate and the House by Mr. Wilson and Mr. Colfax, willing to: make a bargain of the Irish vote if they could accomplish i. But we hardly consider such a thing possible, judging from the antecedent action of Irish citizens, which has been slwaysin favor of con- Adjournmeat of the Philadelphia Convention— Te Pectaration of Principles and Address. The popular gathering at Philadelphia has concluded its labors and adjourned. The cam- paign for tho restoration of the Union is now fully inaugurated. That ithas an auspicious | beginning is evident from the panio exhibited by the radioal organs, Thelr efforts to preju- dice the public mind against the Convention by the publication of frlee and malicious re- ports show that they belleve that the ment bas taken a deep hold with the The writhings and agony exhibited by prove that they are afraid of the people realize ‘that the Convention ‘has touched popular heart in manner that will mee! cordial response throughout the length breadth of the land.

For this purpose we see their ete lio their own desperate condition. the gods would destroy they first make mad” was never more spplicable to a set of men than to the radical leaders at the present time. As it is the only result will be to strengthen the movement and convince the publio of its necessity. This alone is sufficient to secure its auccess at the pells, Contrary to the predictions of the radical organs, and in spite of their efforts to create disturbance, arouse the jealousies of the dele- gations and excite wrangling’ in the proceed- ings, no convention ever assembled in this country where harmony, good feeling and mutual confidence existed to the extent that was manifested at this gathering’ in Philadelphia, From the hour of the arrival of the delegates down through all its proceed- ings, including the adoption of the declaration of prinoiples and the address, the most perfect harmony was exhibited. No untoward circum- stance arose to mar the occasion. All present seemed to feel the importance of the move- ment and realize that momentous questions were at atake, involving the peace, the pros- perity and the future greatness of the republic. In this very fact are important lessons for the public. In this circumstanee is to be found evidence of the changed condition of the coun- try by the abolition of slavery. It proves that thero isno longer such a thing asthe North and the South, but that we have become a homogenoous people. The abolition of slavery has wiped out the distinction between the two sections. It has removed the line which divided the North and the South and hag made us a people of like interests, like aims and like hopes. This fact the Philadelphia Convention forcibly proves. But the radicals assert in reply, that all this excellont spirit manifested by the Southern delegates is only superficial and for effect. Nothing can bo further from/| the truth than this charge. The Southern people have everything to gain by a cordial support of the government, full adherence and p cheerful acquiescence in the verdicts of the war. While the North may be benefited com- mercially by a restoration of the Union and relieved of some of its burdens of taxation, the very existence, the life, peace and pros- perity of the South depend upon its amicable relations with the government and the union of States one and inseparable. With all this at stake how can they do otherwise than labor to bring about harmony between the two sections. There is nothing whatever to pre- vent this now, while everything tends to lead them in that direction, The argu- ment of the radicals, therefore, has néither force, logic nor reason to sustain it, and can have only originated in fear of de- foat. The fact that all the speeches since the Convention has been in session, whether delivered by men from the North or. the South, breathe the same spirit and exhibit a full con- currence in sentiment shows the strength of this movement and will give it great weight with the public. The same harmony also existed in the adoption of the address and the declaration of principles, leaving no room for those who oppose it to cavil on that point. We are unable to find in a careful perusal of the ten specifications of the declaration of principles a sentiment or assertion that cannot be cheerfully subscribed to by every friend of the Union or supporter of the war in the North. It acknowledges the full success of the war, that the emancipated slave should receive equal protection with all other citizens in every right of person and property, declares the debt of the government incurred by the United States in putting down the rebellion to be sacred and inviolable, and fully recognizes the services of our soldiers and sailors. What more can be asked by any party, except they may want the s*doption of some scheme that will keep them in office to tho injury of the country. The address treats at some length the question of the right of the South to repre- tion and as great an effort to overthrow the government as was the armed rebellion, The” ances that have occurred gress ate not shown up with the strength and earnestness that they should have been, n: the dangers to the financial interest country which will follow a the restoration of the country, Ub a a amen ten that the people of the North will realise quicker than any other, for it is being brought home to them every hour in the day. would suit the radicals better than to divert the issue from this point. Bat the public have the ‘records of Congress and usurpation and civil war before them. now are presented with the address and thé resolves of growing out of the uprising support of the Union and To them these records ‘are i E the Prussia for her valor in the war, the prompt- ness of her war policy and the gallantry of her generals ; but we cannot look upon the course she is towards the city of Frankfort without a suspicion that she is endeavoring to carry things with too bigh a hand. The object of levying an immense tax on the citizens of that free town, and threatening to enforce it by arms, would appear to be to break up the moneyed interests there, with the view of transferring them to Berlin, as well, perhaps, as to wreak vengeance upon Frankfort because it was in that city the Diet met which voted so many of the German States on the Austrian side in the late contest. If these be the motives, they are unworthy of the now great ruling power of Germany. We perceive that the American residents of .Frankfort have claimed and ob- tained the protection of our Consul there; but. of course he is powerless to protect the German portion of the population from the oppressive acts of Prussia, ; Very Remarcasix.—Mr. Seward has been on another visit to Auburn, but has returned to Washington without making his usual Auburn speech.

Among other expedients to realize pecuniary profits resorted to by somo of the railroad companies of this olty is one, lately adopted by the Dry Deck and East Broadway Company, in order to compensate in full measure for the recently established Inter- nal Revenue law, which compels companies to issue pas- senger tickets at the rate of five conts each, adding only the revenue tax of one-ciglith per cent, The company alluded to issued an agreement in the form of a cow ‘attached to their tickets, which was to be detached by the conductor only, and not transferable.
