EUROPE. Our special telegrams from Europe by the Atlantic cable are dated to noon of yesterday, Friday. The ad- ‘vices, which are important, embrace news from Russia, Austria, Prussia, Bohemia, Italy, Bavaria, France, Switzerland and England. Peace is regarded as accomplished at Praguo. The Prussians are evacuating Bohemia rapidly. Austria is removing all her valuables and mementoos from Venice. The lower branch of the Prussian Chambers has on- dorsed the war policy of the Crown. : Russia continues to fée the United States maval off. cers, diplomats and sailors in the imporial palaces and at Cronstadt. The Czar has again pledged Russia and the United States in an after dinner toast. The special correspondent of the Hrratp with the Amorican squad- ron has been presented tothe Emperor and imperial famiiy. ° Switzerland has discontinued her measures of frontior Gefence. ‘ The Empress of Mexico has gone to her home at ‘Miramar from Paris, Napoleon refuses to use the French troops in Mexico further in ald of Maximilian, pleading the “ necessity of keoping faith with the United States’ in the matter of their removal. Bavaria cedee an extensive territory to Prussia. The King of Italy has proclaimed a general amnesty for political,offences committed within his dominions, Josoph Mazzini ts included. It ts dented that Garibaldi has tendored the resignation Of is commission. { The London money market was casior yesterday (Friday.) Consols closed at 833; for money. Ameriean securities were firm. Five-twenties were at 704. The Liverpool cotton market was unchanged at the Close yesterday. Middling uplands were thirteen and three-fourths pence. Breadstuffs were dull. Provisions were without material change. THE CITY. ‘There was no material change in the cholera yesterday, wo far as an increase or decrease was concerhed, Eight new cases apd seven deaths were reported in New York. In Brooklyn the disease continues to abate gradually. On Thursday there were thirty-one deaths in Srook- lyn, of which seven were from cholera» The bids for tho building of the new quarantine hospitals at West- bank were opened, but the contract was not awarded. It was stated that one of the bids would be accepted this morning. The arrangemente for the reception of President John- son on his arrival in this city on Wednesday next, are still progressing, and, from what we can learn, they will be of a very imposing character. The New York Com- mittee of Recepiion held two meetings yesterday on the subject, but as they were of an informal character the proceedings were not made public. The Committee will complete the programme to-day, and it will! be promuk gated to-morrow. Major Generai Sandford has issued new orders in regard to the parade of tho troops under his command, Tue Common Council of New Haven have invited the President to visit their city. The ar- rangements in Chicago, Detroit and elsewhere are pro- aressing finoly, ° RSATILE COMPANY OF twice Open from 8 ‘Tho United States gunboat Muscoota arrived at Pensa- cola from the Rio Grande on the 20th inat., with seventy cases of yellow fever on board and the surgaon dead. ‘The official correspondence in relation tothe recent convention riots in New Orleans 1s published in’ our columns this morning. It includes the instructions of the President to the Lieutenant Goyerngr of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans, as well as the letters. of Governor Wells, General Baird, Goucral Sheridan and others on the occasion, bat few of which have been made public before. Casper Direcks, who was convicted by Lynch law of the murder of a boy named Hamilton in Nebraska City on the 16th of August, was hung*by a mob in that placo on the 27th. He denied tho murder, but confessed to stealing cattle which belonged to the boy. Two other mon were in complicity with Direcks; but they saved themselves by turning State's evidence. Samuel Covert, who was found gu'ity of the murder of the Rooga family, at Deerfield, Ohio, in Decombor, 1864, ‘was hung at Lebanon, Ohio, yesterday. Ho declared to the last that he was innocent, and met his death calmly. A negro name Taylor killed the wife and daughter of a Mr, John Buok, noar Lansing, Mich., yesterday. He ‘was puraued and arrested. ‘The Labor Convention was again in session at Balti- more yesterday. A sories of resolutions was adopted declaring the grand desidoratim to be the adoption of the cight hours system; that the prevailing system of prison labor is detrimental to the producing classes; that a speedy restoration of the agricultural interests of the Southern States is of vital importanco to the laboring men of the North; that a reform is needed in respect to tenement houses; and thatthe public lands should be disposed of to actual settlers only. ‘The British Provincial Confederation schome, the suc- cess of which was at one time thought to be onty a ques- tion of time, has met with a serious drawback, Prince Edward Island bas instructed her dolegation to England on that subject to protest against Confoderation and to state that the colony will not agree to it on any condi- tion. This is thought to be a virtual dofeat of tho propo- sition, asa popular yote on it, to which the action of Princo Edward Island stronsly tends, would negative it forever, An accident occurred on the Saratoga and Troy Rail- road at Saratoga yestorday, by which two car loads of freight were smashed up, but no person Tnjurod, The President and Thad Stevens—The Moral and Social Effect of their Political Course on the Country. During tho Inst session of Congress the chiefs of the radical party denounced the President in the coarsest Janguage. Thad Stevens spoke of him contemptuously as “the man at the other end of the avenue.” They have called him “traitor,” “scoundrel,” and other vile names, and have gone so far even as to say that in other times he would have lost his head like Charles the First. These implacable Jacobins and their satellites. are pursuing the same course at present in their barangues to the people. The language of Governor Oglesby and General Logan in Mlinois lately was of the same character, as well as that of Speaker Colfax and other prominent radical poli- ticlans throughout the country. When we see the Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, governors of States, generals who have distinguished themselves in the war and the leaders in Congress of a powerful party descend to such base and false denunciations of the President, what can we say but that we have fallen upon evil and dan- gerous times? Such discreditable and debas- ing conduct in political life must lead to great social demoralization. In the early period of our history refinement of manners and courtesy universally prevailed. However opposed the public mon of that day were to each other on political questions, they always behaved like gentlemen.

The influence of the leading men of a country is necessarily powerful either for good or evil. It has always been so, We have striking evidence of that in the demoralizing influence of the Jacobin faction during the first French revolution—a faction which was really in a minority, but which hed the power for the time. That party corrupted the public mind of France to such a degree that there was a perfect saturnalia of crimes and vice in the country. We ,are on the verge of a similar state of affairs, and nothing can arrest it but a signal defeat of our Jacobin radicals at the approaching elections. Should they be ‘suo- cessful, which we do not expect, we may look for a reign of terror and demoralization like that which prevailed during the first French revolution. Preparations for a Grand Mass Meeting. A movement is on foot for an extensive mass meeting in this city to ratify the proceedings of the Philadelphia Convention. The following call is being circulated, and thousands of our citizens have already signed it. Among them are many of our leading merchants and busi- ness men :— New York, =e a 11, 1866, To General Joux A. Dix, Hon. Samumt J. Tupax, Hon, Huvay J. Raymon, Hon. Cuanus P. Day, and other delegates to the National Convention residing in the city of New York :— GentLEMEN—Wo have been highly gratified with the proceedings of the National Convention lately assembled at Philadelphia; we think thoy have been conducted with admirable discretion and good sense, and cannot fal, in our judgment, to exert # most salutary influence npon the whole country, in again uniting the people of All the States and ‘Territories in a common bond of Union, thus restoring substantial peace and prosperity to our boloved country, But to accomplish these results effectu- ally we suggest that the proceedings of the Convention be followed up by popular demonsirations of approval. We take leave, therefore, to recommend that a public meeting of ail citizens Who are disposed to ratify the proceeding of the great National Convention be forth- with called by tho delegates to that body, to be held in the city of New York, at such time and place as tho del- egates may designate, Not only are our citizens endorsing the moye- ment, but they are showing their earnestness in the cause by subscribing liberally to aid in the campaign. Ii is understood that one hun- dred thousand dollars have already been prom- ised for the purpose of paying the expenses of circulating documents, sending speakers into every section of the North, and for other legiti- mate expenses of the campaign now upon us. We have no dout® that if a proper effort is made half a million of dollars can be raised without any trouble to assist the conservative party in the Northern States. The questions at issue are 80 momentous, the prosperity of the country and our commercial and business in- terests are 60 affected by the result of the poli- tical contest, that those who have their capital invested in that direction have too much at stake to stand idly by and allow the radicals to destroy their future prospects by forcing upon the country their revolutionary schemes, Our capitalists put their shoulders to the wheel and responded liberally to every call of the gov- ernment for means during the war in order that tho rebellion might be put down and peace again reign in the land. Now that the Southern insurrection has been crusbed, they are anxious for the peace which they labored for and are ready to use their influence against any party or faction that may attempt to deny this boon to the country. The mass-meeting movement has already made sufficient progress to insure that it will be a grand success and one of the largest gatherings ever held in this city. It will show that our people are in earnest and that they are just as determined for the restoration of the Union now as they were for the overthrow of the rebellion in 1861. We are not aware that the time has been designated for holding this mass meeting, but it will necessarily be at an early day, when the city of New York will speak on the issues now before the peaple in no uncertain tone. Itwill show to the radicals that the Philadelphia Con- vention has aroused the people and revived that latent sentiment for the Union which has for months past been abiding its time and waiting for an opportunity to exhibit its power. It will reveal to the revolutionary faction which controlled Congrew the utter disgust and contempt which the people have for the action of that body. Already we begin to see some of the results. The bare mention of mass meetings bas caused (most of the radical jour- nals to lose their temper and indulge in lan- guage that they could only have obtained in the infernal regions from the mouth of Satan himself, A few of the more moderate papers on that side are, however, advising their party to abandon their extreme measures and throw overboard such men as Thad Stevens and Ben Wade as the Jonah of their ship. But we fear that it is too late to save them; for the radical craft is so far at sea, the storm is so severe and the extreme m&n have obtained such complete| control that no mutiny on board will be able to put down these leaders, The only salva- tion, the only hope for those who see the danger is to desert the ship as soon as possible, and give their support to the great conserva; tive movement now sweeping over the country, This is the only way that their efforts will amount to anything, and it is the only course that will accomplish the overthrow of ‘the radical usurpers. Political affairs have pro gressed so far that either the radical usurpem must be repudiated or another civil war—a war of races—will soon be forced upon the country. How Exrneuzs Meet.—Both the New York Tribune and the Richmond Hnquiter denounce the late Philadephia Convention, but from different motives. Thus these sheots pre again playing into each other’s hands the as before the war. Neither has léarned by the stern events of the last four years, and they are now labor together for the nent disruption of Union, and doing all they can to foreg upon us anarchy andicivil war.

NEW YORK: HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST, 25,, 1866... Revival of tho Fall Trade. abuse of] From all the indications around us we are justified in anticipating.one of the finest trades this coming fall thatwe have had for many years. It is evident from the late letter of Secretary McCulloch that the currency is to Temaingsteady for two years at least, which, in commercial trangactiona, renders paper cur- rency just as good as specie payments for all practical purposes, As long as¢he basis upon which contracts are made remains unchanged there can be no confusion nor loss to the parties predicating business transactions upon currency, which, if subjected to any sudden variation in value, might lead to serious embar- rassments, No doubt the business men of the West and South are now assured that Mr. McCulloch. has no power from Congress to make any immediate departure from the pre- sent value of currency by a hasty return to specie payments—a fact which would go to show that Congress knows more about finan- ciering than Mr. McCulloch—and therefore they are flocking into this city to make their fall purchases. It isan encouragement to the business community to know that for two years at least we are likely to have a steady cur- rency, and we see the result in the promises of our fall trade, The importations are immense, and there is every reason to believe that the demand will be commensurate. Our merchants are ready to offer probably the largest'stocks of goods presented in the market for many years, and we are glad to see that buyers are coming in from all quarters. The absurd excitement about the cholera has altogether abated, having been proved nothing more than a false alarm; consequently nobody is afraid to visit the metropolis. Perhaps the best indication of the business condition of the country is the Hera; and w? find an index to its present prosperity in the fact that we print three solid columns of business advertisements now more than we ever did at this season of the year at any pre- vious period since the paper was established. And these are genuine business advertisements, condensed into as few words as posable, and occupying severally as little spaco as the objects of the advertiser éan be effected in—for our space is costly, in proportion, of course, to its value, as business men know. They are not like the advertisements in other papers; they are not hand-bills, nor show-bilis, nor diiai20- tive issues of illustrated newspapers, with pic- tures of circuses, or churches, or acrobats in impossible postures, or women in gauze stand- ing on their heads, nor still-life portraits of stoves, rifle guns, trusses, revolvers and paper collars; nothing of all these, but substantial announcements of legitimate business in a terse form; a history, in fact, of the progress of enterprise, the wants of the people, and the places where these wants can be supplied. “These crowded columns tell beyond peradven- ture how the business of the metropolis is thriving. The prospect of a full restoration of the Union before long is stimulating the com- mercial community in the most healthful fashion, Gold, too, we perceive, is returning from’ Europe in small quuntitics to be invested in United States bonds; but this is probably only & sporadic case, like the importation of flour to this country previous to the panics of 1837 and 1857. The flow of the precious metal must natarally be the other way for some time, as long as our importations of foreign fabrics are as large as they are at present. Looking at the existing condition of things from every point, we ara led to anticipate a most prosperous business this fall. ‘Tae Canpipates vor Governor.—The calls for the two’ political State conventions have been issued, and the local conven- tions are now being held throughout the State to elect the delegates. This has caused a great deal of , Caucusing and manipulation among the politicians, great and small, over who shall be nominggd for Governor. It seems to be generally conceded that Governor Fenton will be renominated by the radicals, He is a very fit representa- tive for them; for they asa class know more about other people’s duties than their own, snd Fenton has shown himself to be proficient in the art of neither understanding his duties as Governor nor discharging them, while he has shown himself ready at all times to dabble in the dirty pool of politics down In Dixie, and respond to the efforts of Jack Hamilton and his associates to. breed discontent in the South- ern States. His record as Governor, in signing bills which he admits he did not know the natare of, such as the mrchandise brokerage tax swindle, and in utterly neglecting to ex- ecute laws enacted for this city, as well'és in trying to empty the State prisons and turn the convicts loose upon the people, is sufficient to secure his defeat without his radical heresies and disunion sentiments. Nothing will please the conservative element of the State better than the renomination of Fenton by the radicals. Among the most prominent candidates for the nomination by the Union democratic republican party, are Mayor Hoffiaan, General Dix and Judge Allen, of this city; Henry C. Murphy, of Brooklya; David R. Floyd Jones, of Long Island, and John Ganson, of Buffalo. They are all good men and would make excel- lent executive officers of the State. They were all, we believe, war democrats, and have been found on the side of the Union and the consti- tution on all occasions. Tammany Hall will press the name of Hoffman with all its power, and will be backed by the German interest, which is now repudiating the radicale. Other political interests are urging the nomination of Marphy with equal seal. The prominent part which General Dix has taken in the great con- servative movement of tho day has placed him in avery strong position for the nomination. We are not sure but that he will be the most available candidate in the emergency. With him as a candidate, his speech at Philadelphia |: is the only platform neoded or required, Goon Stoxs im Tae Raptcat, Raxxs.—There appears to be the mischief to pay in the ranks of the radical fection. They are in the midst of terrible ‘thempclyeq all over ao ope. ile ho ae especislly.

Everywhere we. find ns and Dbickerings in the radical ranks, which éhows that somebody is trampling on their toes. Per- haps the energetic manner ip which the Presl- dent is cutting off the heads of officeholders has a good deal to do with this state of affairs, Within a few days he has dismissed no less than four assessors of internal revenue, and as many postmasters*ior their radical and uncon- stitutional propensities. Whatever may be the cause, it is a good and healthy sign to see this dangerous faction qnarrelling among them- selves. The country is likely to be the gainer by it. We hope the President will keep the official guillotine in motion. It may have an excellent éffect upop the “cohesive power” . Which keeps the radicals loyal to each other. The Pope and His Manifest Destiny. It ig understood that the Emperor Napoleon will shortly relieve the Holy Father of Rome of his temporal power, turn over the so-called Papal States to the King of Italy, with Rome for his capital, and withdraw the French troops that have for so many years stood between his Holiness and his disobedient, contumacious and rebellious subjects, In a word, the Pope as a temporal sovereign is to beset aside, his dominions are to be turned over to that prodi- gal son of the Church, King Victor Emanuel, and his Holiness is to be exclusively limited to his spiritual functions, He- will, no doubt, be generously provided for in this capacity by Napoleon, “the favorite son of the Church;” but whether in Rome, Avignon, or elsewhere, we cannot positively say. We presume, how- ever, thapduring the lifetime of Pio Nono he wiil be retained, and ina style consistent with his spiritual dignity, in Rome, and that even atter his death some concordat or compromjse will be agreed upon whereby Pope and King the spiritual and temporal sovereigns, the Holy Father and the prodigal son—may live together in peace and concord in the old im- perial city. pit Taat Napoleon has long contemplated this thing we all know; that the time is at hand for carrying out his great design we cannot doubt; that he will get some territorial compensation from the prodigal son in exchange for Rome and the States of the Church is morally cer: | tain; apd that herein lies the whole secret of his good care these many years of the Holy Father we verily believe. The day for this re- construction of the Papacy cannot be far off, and in the meantime, ip order to meet his ourrent necessities, the faithful should not for- get the Pope’s loan. By thus assisting him they will, we dare say, be “laying up for them- selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal.” The temporal ‘power of the Popo was first established A. D, 755; under the auspices of King Pepin; who bestowed on Stephen ILL. the exarchate of Ravenna. In the year 800, under Charlemagne, when the new Empire of the West was founded by him and when he was crowned in Rome by the Pope, King of Italy, Germany and France, the Pope (Leo IIL) pro- claimed the spiritual separation of the Western from the Eastern Empire, and became supreme Bishop of the Western. Thus the Pope of Rome, as a temporal and spiritual sovereign combined, has survived the vicissitudes of over a thousand years, the term to a nation anala- gous to the seventy years allotted as the ordin- ary limits of the life of man. The temporal sovereignty of the Pope, therefore, cannot be expected to last much longer, and would have perished sooner but for his spiritual powerover the crowned heads around him. At one time and for a long period their imperial master, he has at length, as a temporal ruler, become a dependent upon their charity and especially upon that of Louis Napuleon. But why should we repine? The head of the @atholic Church, in being relieved of his earth- ly crown, will shine in brighter effulgence in his pure and unspotted spiritual crown, and the heretic’s cry of “The scarlet woman of Babylon” will be heard no more. This will be a reconstruction of Mother Church equal to the reconstruction of our Southern States, shorn of the sins of African slavery and South Carolina State Rights. And so we have no tears to shed over the manifest destiny of the Pope, beoause we believe it will be for the good of the Church. ILLNESS OF DEAN RICHMOND, - His Precarious Condition Last Night—Ne Ex- Pectation of His Recovery. Dean Richmond is at present lying at the residence of Samuel J. Tilden, No. 15 Gramercy piace, under the treatment of five of the most eminent physicians of the city, who entertain but very slight hopes of his recovery, The Dean's condition last night was con- sidered 80 precarious that the continual attendanee of two physicians was deemed necersary.
