At Schenectady they were ‘welcomed by the Mayor and Council in an address, and the President was about to make a reply when 29 plat- form on which the party were standing gave wag, and they were floored for a time. No one was hurt, how- ever, and the President spoke as though no interrap- tion had occurred. Ho made short speeches also at Fonda, Herkimer, Utica and other towns on the route. On the arrival at Auburn the party were received by the Mayor, when the President again speke, and then an excursion was made to Willow Grove, on Owasco lake, ‘where an elegant dinner was prepared. During the ‘banquet General Grant proposed a toast to Ssnor Romero, the Minister of Mexico, and ‘‘the success of the cause he resents, ’? = THE CITY. ‘There were five new cases and four deaths from cholera reported in this city yesterday.

The news of the abandonment of the war by Spain had boon received, but peace was not expected immediately, as it was the intention of the al lied republics to make retaliatory war upon Bpanish commerce, Tho 28th of July, the anniver. sary of Peruvian independence, was colebrated in grand style on board the newly arrived iron-clade Huescar and Tadependencia. Admiral Tucker, the ex Confederate, who had been placed in charge of the Peruvian navy, is ill stoutly opposed by Admiral Montero, who has command, and refuses to permit any observance of Tacker's orders. It is reported that the banks have agreed to loan the government $6,000,000. The impor- tations from the United States amount for 1865 to $1,006,094, boing much Jess than those from England Gad other European and South Am>rican nations. Bust (Qean was dull. Brom Paname, wader date of Aucust 23, r*tious tome of news in the State of New Gronada and New Zealand have been received. Tho rebels in (biriqui, New Gronada, had possession of that entire department, in- cluding the capital. The cause of the rebellion was over taxation and the policy pursued by the present govern: ment, From New Zealand the latest dates were to July 24. Parliament was opened on the 34. The Maori warwas being prosecuted to a successful termination, Several dreadful murders of gold diggers for their money had been perpetrated on tho west coast by Australian crimi- nals, A band of desperadoes attacked and routed a negro camp meeting at Shiply’s Woods, near Baltimore, on Thursday mght, The negroes, it seoms, were holding a camp meeting under the auspices of white Methodist ministers, a white camp meeting being in progress at the same time. During the day suspicious looking young men were seen about the grounds, and at night the attack was made by firing among the negroes while they wore at their devotions. The blacks resisted and the fight became general, the darknoss of course in- creasing the confusion, The fight finally ended by the negroes, at the advice of the white preachers, seeking safety in flight, The tents, bundles and trunks belong- ing to them were then piled together and burned by the white assaHants, One white man was killed and several negroes severely wounded, At Connersville, Ind., a radical, who had been in the army and deserted, took some exceptions to the speech- making at a democratic meeting and fired four shots in the crowd, severely wounding an old man who had been crippled in the explosion of the 8t. Joba. ‘A meeting of the delegates tothe Radical Southern Convention, who have already arrived at the appointed was held in Phitadelphia last evening. Judge Kelly and Thomas J. Durant—the latter one of the New Orleans conventionists—entertained the elim audience agsembled by unqualified abuse of the Presi- dent and bis policy, Mr. Durant varying the programme by giving a new history of the free State Convention of Louisiana. There wero six deaths from cholera in Cincinnati on ‘Thursday, and nine doaths from cholera and two from yellow fever in New Orleans on the same day. In St, Louis there were thirty-seven deaths from cholera. The new Internal Revonue law goes into effect to-day. It particularly affects the distilling of whiskey, and in consequence of its stringent regulations a number of distilleries will ccase operations. A despatch from New Orleans says that a strong guard of United States (white) soldiers are on guard night and day at the private residence of Governor Wells, at his own urgent request. The Cundidate for Governor—General Dix the Man for the Crisis, The enthusiasm which the tour of the Presi- dent and his party through the State has cre- ated among all classes leaves no doubt as to the result of the political canvass in this State. The radicals have shown by their loss of tem- per that their case is hopeless, At all points the reaction has commenced against them and is making rapid progress. The uprising of the people already signifies a change in the char- acter of the representatives in Congress trom the Empire State. The public are fully aroused to the necessity of repudiating those who be- trayed them in Congress, and there is now no further danger but that the Congressfonal dis- tricts will be attended to. The work in this direction will, however, be made much easter if a wise selection be made and the right kind of @ man be nominated for Governor.. Any person possessing the requisite intelligence and ability will dd for Congress, provided he endorses the restoration policy of the Presi- dent, the platform of the Philadelphia Conven- tion and is opposed to the revolutionary policy of the radicals. But we want a man for Gov- ernor who wil. give something of the dignity to that office which existed in former times, before it was degraded by modern political charlatans. Who shalt it be? Several gentlemen ef more or less promi- nence are being urged for the nomination at the approaching Union Democratic Republican Convention. We notice among the number the name of ex-Governor Seymour. But his political record is closed and sealed. We elected him Governor in 1862, through the con- servative movement inaugurated at that time; but no sooner did he assume the duties of the office than he repudiated his pledges and betrayed those who elected him. He was elected on @ war platform, but on coming into office turned against the war. He delivered an address before Tammany Hall, in which he labored to prove the war a failure, and that, too, at the very hour when we had news of the great victory at Gettysburg and the capture of Vicksburg. In short his course has placed him outside of the list of available can- didates and his nomination will be dis- astrous to the great conservative move- ment now sweeping over the Northern States. Henry C. Murphy, of Brooklyn, and Mayor Hoffman, of this city, are also urged for this position by their respective friends. Neither of these gentlemen is well enough known or sufficiently prominent- among the people to justity his nomination for the first office in the State. The only thing known of Murphy, besides his being a member of the State Senate, is, that he was at one time in the Sugar House government mission at Hague, and came within one vote of being the caucus nominee for President at the convention which brought pour Pierce forward. Had he purchased a lottery ticket he might have come within one number of drawing the prize, and Ben Wood could then no doubt tell him how he happened to miss it. As to Mayor Hoffman, he made a very good Recorder, and was generally con- sidered a young man of great promise until the Corporation ring took hold of him as their last card to save themselves trom ruin. As such be was elected Mayor, and since he has been in that office he has been making « great noise about his purity and integrity, and bas flourished » few vetoes to keep up the appear- ance of not being @ tool of the ring. But the motive for all this is too apparent to deceive anybody. Anexamination of his record in that respect will reveal the fact that he has vetoed the small schemes which amounted to nothing, and let all the big jobs go through without raising the first objection. If he can only be made Governor the Corporation ring will be in cestasies, and obtain a new lease of power under his rule. The great conservative movement of the day must not be loaded down and encumbered with any such men. The interests of the country are too important to endanger them by nomi- nating a man thus identified, as Mayor Hoffman is, by being the last card of the City Hall clique in this metropolis. The only man on the list mentioned who is fitted for the po- sition is General Dix. He is a representative of that class of men who gave dignity to our public offices, and is about the only one of the class left. In his long public career not one whisper has been heard against his in- tegrity and purity of character. In this respect he stands ont in bold relief above all his com- petiiors. His opening speech at the late Phila- few words, handled the great questions of the hour in a more comprebensive manner and treated the issues now before the country in @ clearer and more forcible style than anv delphia Convention embraced more in a | speech or address during the sitting of the | The Black and White Convention—Progress Convention or since its: adjournment. It em- braced every question—the action of Congress, its jobs and schemes, its financial misdeeds, as well as the question of restoration. He stands before the country in that light and occupies a position which makes him, above all others, the candidate for this contest, and the proper man for the office. If the managers of the forth- coming Union Demooratic Republican Conven- tion, which meets at Albany on the 11th inst., desire to play their strongest card, and have the cause which they pretend to support at heart, they will make General John A. Dix, the warrior and the statesman, their standard bearer. If they are wise enough to place him at the head of their ticket success will be cer- tain and the victory won without a struggle. Great National Importance of the Presiden- tial Tour—Its Extension Southwards. However modest may have been the views of President Johnson before setting out on his pious pilgrimage to Chicago, he must have realized ere this, as the people at large have realized, the great significance, in a political or rather national point of view, of the en- thusiasm which has attended every mile of his progress. Nothing like it could have been anticipated. All the party prejudices which have been so reckleasly cultivated and en- couraged for the last eighteen months seem to have melted away before the warmth and geniality and good-natured common sense of the man, as the frosta of an autumn night melt under the influence of a warm sun. Every ay of his journey rectifies the evil wrought by weeks of the late radical Congress. As he intimates in one of his speeches, it seems to be his mission to bring balm from Gilead and pour it with all its healing influ- ences on the atill open wounds of the country. He well fulfils the mission of peace on which he has started; and it may, without any irre- verence, be said of him that he goes about doing good. It would be a pity if the influence which he exercises in such a magnetic manner over the people among whom he passes should be con- fined to the towns and cities lying between Washington and Chicago. We should wish to see the same influence exercised in a still wider circle, The States of the Northwest, up to the head of navigation of the Mississippi, would be equally benefited and delighted by a visit from President Johngon; and the States of the Southwest, from Missouri to Louisiana, would hail his presence as a har- binger of peace and good will. And why should these communities not be gratified in this manner? Why should they not have an op- portanity of evidencing their admiration of the man and their love for the great principle of which he is the impersonation—namely, the complete restoration of the Union and the renewal of brotherly love among the citizens of all its sections? We earnestly appeal to Mr. Johnson and ask him, for the sake of the country at large, not to weary in the grent and good work which he has undertaken and which is already producing such bappy result. Let him accept invitations to traverse the States of the Northwest, up to St. Paul, and to descend the great river, made free by two of the distinguished men who are his fellow pil- grims—Grant and Farragut. The people of that region want to see their benefactors; and no such opportunity may ever again present itself. Let the party visit St. Louis, Louisville, Memphis, Vicksburg, Jackson, Natchez and New Orleans, not forgetting to call at Island No. 10 and Pert Hudson, and the other points along that historic riyer where the two great commanders of the army and of the navy won such honor. Coming northward, they would have a grand triumphal procession through the States which, once hostile, are now peaceful, loyal and true to the Union. Visiting Savan- nah, Augasta, Columbia, Charleston and Wil- mington, their last stopping place on their way to the capital would be Richmond. In this southern part of the tour the President would be able to undo much of the evil which the present radical Congress has done, and to wipe out the feelings of estrangement and bitterness to which it has given birth. We put it most earnestly to Mr. Johnson not to forego this grand opportunity, but to avail himself of it in the interests of the nation; and we run no risk in predicting that, when he gets back to Washington, he will have given the death blow to the radicalism which has proved so disas- trous to the reunion and prosperity of the States. F Mexico axp Her Leavers.—We believe it is not regarded in official quarters that Napoleon intends to procrastinate in the withdrawal of French troops from Mexico. For ourselves we are not disposed to believe it without further confirmation. We hardly think that the rumor to thie effect which reached us two days ago from Europe, and which has its source in an English newspaper, tallies exactly with the ex- pression recently attributed to the Emperor, that a “necessity” existed for keeping the peace with the United States, Meantime there are some curious events transpiring on the circumference of Mexican affairs, We understand that some movements will soon be made both by Ortega and Santa Anna in the neighborhood of the Rio Grande. What they are exactly we do not know. Juarez and some of the other prominent leaders may also turn up in that direction, and perhaps some junta may be agreed to between them all for the rescue of Mexico from foreign domi- nation. A settlement of some kind by which conflicting interests may be harmonized and ancient hostilities fused into a common sense of patriotism is the only plan whereby Mexico can be restored to peace. If this is not adopted the abdication of Maximilian will leave things in a worse condition than ever, and unfortunate Mexico will be torn into fragments by con- tending factions, In this event it may be necessary for our government to send General Sheridan in there and proclaim martial law all over the country. He has shown his capacity to govern New Orleans, and he would pro}a- bly not fail in Mexico, Sheridan has a pet scheme of overrunning all Mexico with ten thonsand cavalry. He is a great man in the saddle, and when mounted and leading a few thousand United States regulars, can do more to pacificate Mexico than all the Mexican | leaders put together. If the government | should be compelled by the force of circum- stances apising in that country to put the matter in the hands of Phil. Sheridan and big gallant ten thonsand he will probably give Mexico a better government than she ever had hetote, : r NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1866. of the New Civilization. The black and white or mulatto conven- tion which is to assemble at Philadelphia next Monday, under the auspices of Fred Douglass and Jack Hamilton, will inaugurate a new era of civilization. The ambitious and intelligent blacks and the mean and ignorant whites will meet upon the same platform for the first time in the history of this country. The great reform which has been progressing for the past five years will then reach a very advanced stage of development, and the social and political supremacy of the blacks, for which all trae radicals eagerly wait and hope, cannot be much longer delayed. This new civilization brings darkness instead of light; but whether it comes from above or below is a question upon which authorities differ. Be its origin divine or satanic, however, it elevates the blacks and degrades the whites another step in the scale of humanity and points with prophetic finger to that blissful future when the negroes shall administer the government and the poor white trash shail be forced to labor to support'a noble colored aristocracy. The Union League Club of this city, true to its vefined and cultivated instincts, has, ap- pointed a delegation of sixty members to attend the black and white convention. Governor Fenton, fally alive to’ the progres- sive spirit of the age, has ordered Senators Morgan and Harris to represent this State. Rochester has chosen Fred Douglass to appear on its behalf, and the Tribune of this city recommends that he be made an officer of the convention. We second the suggestion, It and nominate him for the presiding officer. is fit that the head and front of the convention should be black; and the fact that the President of the United States, with Grant and Farragut, is honoring the white Douglas at Chicago while the radicals are honoring the negro Douglass at Philadelphia will significantly mark the differences between them. Conway, ex-agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau, has elected himself a delegate from this city, and ought to be chosen as one of the Vice Presidents. The Union League of Philadelphia, which closed its doors against President Johnson and induced Mayor McMichael to run away, will receive the black delegations in high style and extend to them all its hospitalities. An extra supply of whiskey has been laid in for the occasion; but we hope that the negroes will insist upon champagne. Let there be no Pennsylvania penuriousness about the reception. The club steward ought to have carte blanche, even if the guesis are black. We have before us a list of the poor whites whd are to go on to Philadelphia and worship the ebony idol that radicalism has set up; but thenames of the black representatives of the sunny South we find it impossible to ascertain. The fact is that so many of the Southern negroes have the same names, and so many are named after their masters, that con- siderible confasion will inevitably ensue, 'and the Cimmittee on Credentials may be aston- ishedto see the card of a full-blooded rebel presented by his ex-alave—one of those loyal negrées who assisted us to put down the rebel- lion }y raising food and fodder for Lee’s army. But here will be blacks with patriotic names, classical names, and scriptural names. When the Hack and white delegates enter the con- venbn arm and arm Peter Cooper may find himelf mated with Jim Madison; Bethel Fiskr Butler may pair with Julius Cesar; Hoace Greeley, who was born black (vide Paron’s Biography), may be linked with Scigo Africanus ; Wendell Phillips, the modern patiot, may walk with Georgey Washington ; Tha Stevens may appear with an intimate boem friend called Desdemona ; John Jacob Aste, Jr., may be appropriately matched with TomJefferson; Dr. Cheever may parade with BobLee ; George W. Blunt may rejoice in the comanionship of Numa Pompilius: George Wilks may be improved by association with Dowing, the oysterman ; S. B. Chittenden, who piouly objected to La Traviata at the Brook- lyn Academy, may exchange religious views with the Rev. Highland Garnett; General Hirm Walbridge, who has tried in vain to win’ position among men of his own color, mayind his level by the side of some equally militry Pompey, while the mass of black Han- nibas, Petes, Steves, Bills and old Joes may prownade with Congressman Dodge, Frank How, Sinclair Tousey, Jackson Schultz, George Cabt, William Blodgett, Willard Parker and the ¢her Northern representatives. Tb resolutions adopted by our Union League insig that the biack and white convention is to be {place for speech, and not for silence.” Thisseing the case, we may be permitted to exptss our surprise that Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Staxbn, Lucy Stone and other able and promi- nenj emale advocates of women’s rights have not\leen included in the call, and that the spidnalists, Fourierites and free lovers, who arefso notorious talkers, have been excluded. It ifiot yet too late to remedy these defects, howver, and we have no doubt that any of thelrethren and sisters who put in an appear- andat the convention will be made welcome. Weriall take care to have an extra force of content reporters present, so that none ot themterances of this remarkable assemblage shall be lost to the Heratp and w history. Welope that the Northern delegates, to whose long tongues the public have grown somewhat acautomed, will not do all the talking. We waitto hear from our future statesmen and leg#ators, the negroes of the South. Let us seelow their logic, their rhetoric, their elo- quece and their humor will compare with tho} of a Sumner, a Wade and a Wilson. Itis saicdthat the negroes have been shamefully mistpresented upon the minstrel stage; that theyhave no patois, but speak the purest and mos musical English, and that, instead of wasng precious time in dancing the juba and playng the banjo, they bring the forces of their masive intellects to bear upon the most abstuse problems of finance and political ecowmy. If this be trae we ought to know it. Let s no longer blush in ignorance of the real charcter of the race that is to govern this counry, but let this grand convention give us 8 clar and definite idea of the mental calibre of th blacks, and win new converts to the new civilization by introducing us to those maste minds—safely lodged in thick skulls, proteted by wool ‘asheed of hair—which are to deide upon onr destinies snd amalgamate us int one black and white nationality, indi- wisibb, inseparable and eternel.

This guest was so far pleased with a particular variety as to pronounce it a rare and ripe old article. “You may well call it rare-ripe,” said the General, “for it belongs to a box given me by a friend when I was on duty in New Orleans. My friend hed brought it over from Bermuda, and said if was over a hundred years old.” The guest jreplied that this statement was probably true; but, said he, “for such a rare old wine you ought to Why not call it the Bermuda Rapica. Dergat in Ipano.—We learn by despatches from San Francisco that the demo- cratic candidate for Congressional delegate from Idaho has been elected over the radical by a majority which is computed at 650. It is probable that all the Territories will go the same way when candidates for Congress come before them. We also look for radical defeats in all the Western States. The Western men do not forget that the obnoxious ultra tariff is no question more hateful or irritating to the grain producers and cotton and woollen fabric consumers of the great West than the inordinate rate of duty imposed upon foreign fabrics for the benefit of New England manu- factures. In counting upon the votes of the Western States, then, at the ensuing elections, the radicals may reap a bitter disappointment. They may find a Waterloo in every one of them. Generat Ben Burter’s New War.—General Butler threatens a new civil war, unless the radi- cals can have everything their own way. Per- haps the late New Orleans riots show where this war is to begin. Ifso, who will take the radical command at New Orleans—General Butler or General Banks? And will the opening campaign be for silver plate, includ- ing the spoons, or for the Red river cotton, with the cotton wagons in front of the advanc- Andy Johnson, in his familiar and convincing off- hand speeches.

Secretary Stanten’s Troubles only Com- menced, It tp understood that the fact of a sult for damages having been commenced against Secretary Stanton was kept q uiet by the government in order to prevent tho institution of numerous other similar suits; but the Huratp having smoked the case out, despite the _reti- cence of tho government, the courts of the District aro already threatened with a surfeit of business growing out of suits against this oficial. Summonses in suits for damages representing sums varying from $10,000 to $50,000 have already been issued, and others are threat- ened, A number of suits against the same personage have been commenced in Pittaburg and othor parts of the country. The long pent-up animosity of the people seems suddenly to have been let loose, It is, however, but proper to warn parties who consider themselves aggrieved by Mr. Stanton’s official conduct during the war, that there need be no haste in getting their claims into court, The principle that is to determine the pere sonal responsibility of officers of the government for extra legal conduct during the war will be settiod im the Smithson case—which will probably be tried in Novem- ber—and then other aggrieved parties can guide them- selves by that decision, and save delays and coats to themselves, Judge Edmonds will immediately assume the dutios of Postmaster of the United States Senate, to which he has \ been appointed.

The De- partment was closed at one o'clock, and at balf-pasttwo the clerks and other subordinates called on the retiring Secretary at his private room and presented him with an elogant set of silver, consisting of sugar bowl, cream pitcher, several elegant large ladles and spoons, a dozen silver spoons and other pieces of uniform design, and also a handsomely made album, in Morocco binding, contain- ing an address of regret at parting and appropriate kind wishes, signed in autograph by all the clorks of the De- pariment.

A disregard of this injanction in many instances, subjected this and other of of the it to inconvenience, inasmuch as. coupons the dates or numbers of which have, been thus removed in the process of punching have delayed, if not entirely ted, the reimbara- ing the Treasurer his payment of the same.

For several months past the officers of the Nassea Bank, corner of Beekman and Nassau streets, have from time to time noticed deficits in the accounts connected immediately with the Clearing House department ia their bank, and have also had reason to suspect that some one, if mot more, of the employés of the bank was drawing more than his legitimate salary. ‘TRE PERGON SUSPECTED, At the time that the deficiencies were oecurring was a young man named Affliick, one of the newest employéa in the establishment, and for some time his movements were coatinually watched by the direction of the officers of the bank. No evidence of poculation or malfeasanos in office could be proven which could fasten the guilt upos Mr, Afflick; pat the money would go, and asthe oth er employés, being mostly old hands and well known by the officers, were thought to be above suspicion, and ‘as Mr. Afflick was the latest and least known he was ad- vised to resign his position and ultimately left the city. THE DISCOVERY of the true defaulter was made by some of the detect- ive officers, who had observed a gentlemanly man, and one who apparently held a good position in society, fre- quenting the leading gambling ‘hells’ along Broadway, and who, they were given to understand, was an officer Shortly after it was discovered that the person referred to Was Mr. HK. Briggs, paying teller of the Nassau Bank ; and biel of one of the leading banks in this city.
