Maxnatun Prerarma to Laave.—Re- liable private advices from Washington in- form us that Maximilian has expressed to the officers of his household his determination to abdicate at once unless the Empress shall re- ceive from Napoleon the renewed supplies of men and money which sbe requests.

The Atlantio cable are 80 contra. and Bogus Heroes. On Monday ovening as those of our citizens who reside in the vicinity of Union square were enjoying the cool breeze and and the cause is one which soldiers and sailors support; but although the evening was clear and beautiful and the fireworks lit up the square, no soldiers and sailors could be seen. These brave fellows have more shrewd com- mon sense than the managers of this meeting give them credit for. They are not going to turn out and hurrah whenever any politician chooses to call for them. They knew tbat the management of this meeting had fallen into the hands of some of those military politicians or political soldiers whom, above all others, they most detest. The Cleveland Convention is very well, although it would be better if the repentant rebels were admitted to a share in in its deliberations; but these preliminary gatherings will all be failures unless they are intrasted to the real soldiers and sailors— those who fought during the war and earned for themselves an bonorable fame. There are no characters more contemplible than those bogus military men who never saw a battic, who constantly flourish a title to which they have only a political elaim and who won tixir promotion, not by sermee in the field, but by playing the sycophant to some official in the War Department. These fellows are despised by all true soldiers and laughed at by civil- ians..

The protessional politicians were wise enough in their day and generation, to exclude from their conventions weak andl obnoxious individuals whese presence aml prattle would inyure the cause. We hope te find the soldiers and sailors ai least equally discreet. But if matters are to take the diree- tion indicated hy the meeting on Monday even- ing, then it will be better tor the soldiers and sailors io give up the idea of « convention altogether, and leave the politicians io conduct the campaigu without any of these blunders which, at this crisis, are worse than crimes. Nomixations von Coxcrrss.—-The develop- ments in every part of the country furnish wn- misiakable proof that the conservative move- ment now in progress he really taken the character of a general uprising of the people. A revolution ia the palitics of the country will unquestionably follow. This fact has become so apparent that Secretary Seward has predict- ed that this Siate will give forty thousand ma- jority against the radical pariy. We do not expect so large # majority as that, for the rea- son that the canvass is too short; but we do not think that the Empire State will give less than twenty thousand for the conservative party. We shall be satisfied with that figure in the State, with two-thirds of the members of Congress. This much can be secured if the nominations for Congress on the conservative side are judiciously selected. On this point a great deal depends. The same men who have forced the republi- can party into ite radical and revolutionary attitade at this time were the ruling spirits in Congress during the first two years of the war. They pestered and annoyed President Lincoln and threw so many vbstacles in the way of a vigorous prosecution of the war that he was almost powerless, A reaction took place, and notwithstanding all the excitement about the war and the power that was used for the radicals, the Central States, in the eleo- tions of 1862, repudiated the radical repub- lican party and gave majorities in favor of the democratic candidates. Unfortunately scv- eral of those men who turned up on this tide and rode into office by this political revoln- tion, betrayed the issues of the canvass and re- pudiated their pledges the moment that they were aworn in. ‘This fact alone gave the radi- cals new life and furnished them another op- portunity to regain their Jost prestige. Had it not been for the course of the two Seymours, the Woods, Vallandigham and that claes who managed to get into official positions by virtue of the of 1662, the radical faction ennld saver have obtained the sapregngy again | in the political affairs of the country. That election would have been their death blow. It becomes important, therefore, that such men should be prevented from again betraying the interests of the country. In the nominations now to be made for Congress these men should be repudiated, The Woods, the Seymours and the Vallandighams must not be permitted to Tide into power on the popular tide that is now setting in. Their nomination for office now, if not disastrous in the election, will be in the re- salts that will follow, by again opening the way for a radical triumph in the future. They have betrayed the people often enough; now let them remain in obscurity. Our city Congressional conventions should also repudiate the claims of all such men as Brooks, Chanler and the other democrats here who voted with Thad Stevens in the present Congress and allowed themselves to be made tools in the hands of that radical leader, to whip the con- servative republicans into the support of his schemes, negro suffrage and all others includ- ed. The very fact that they consented to be- come the tools of Thad Stevens in this busi- ness is sufficient evidence of their incapacity and want of. ability to represeut the interests of this metropolis in a crisis like this. They should now be compelled to retire into obscu- rity and some more reliable and trustworthy men elected in their place. The best men, such as will comprehend the issues of the hour, whose ability will command the respect of all classes and whose standing in their districts will remove all fears that their influence will be cast on the wrong side, should be brought out in every district. If this course is adopted throughout the State there will be no difficulty in the conservatives securing two-thirds of the dele gates to Congress. ‘w Game Be- The Emper- The European Situation—The tween Bismarck and Napoleo or’s Health, There are two or three interesting facta in our late despatch through the Atlantic cable from which it is apparent that in view of a reconstruction of the map of Europe Bismarck and Napoleon are now playing for the conti- nental balance of power held by Russia, peace or war, In the first place, the resignation of Drouyn de Lhays, as Napoleon’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the appointment in his place of the Marquis de Moustier, who has had some personal training at St. Petersburg in the diplo- macy of the Czar, may be fairly interpreted as a deliberate movement on the part of Napo- leon for more intimate relations with Russia than he has to this point maintained. On the other hand, it appears that at a meeting of the Chamber of Deputies at Berlin on Saturday last Count Bismarek made some remarks to the members, in the course ef which he Gaid that the views of the Executive and those of the Deputies on the situation of affairs (the local affairs of the new German Confederation under Prussia). were not so much opposed to eact otter as appeared at first sight, even on the leading question of internal revenue ; but that the most important task now devolving wpow the government was in the management of its foreign policy. What the sagacious Prassian Prime Minister’: means by this is broadly hinied in our despatch dated Paris, September 3, (Monday last) in whieh it bs eaid that Count Bismarck is endeavoring to-form an alliance between Prussia, Austria and Rassio. Aw alliance with Russia, therefore, in. view of a definite Exropean seitlement,.ia the new game of diplomacy entered into between Napoleon and Bismarck. Meantime reports and rumors are thickening that the question of the gradually failing health ot Nagoleon is fast taking precedence among the friends and enemies of bis dynasty excr all other questions—that he has been obliged to give up the waters of Vicby,, that he is. suffer- ing from a formidable chronic disease, that he hws been constrained to forego his accustomed review of the Camp of Chalons, and that, in short, bis physical conditiow,. in spite of out- ward appearances, is such as to warrant the gravest apprehensions. It is inferred, too, that hereim lies the secret of his conciliatory course and pacific protestations in regard to Prussia, Belgium, the Rhenish frontier, Italy anda gen- eral European settlement. He wishes, it is conjectured, to strengthen himself in Prance, in view of a quiet transfer of the empire to his son, rather than run the naaard of outside com- plieation, which, in the event of a probable catasirophe within a short time, might precipi- tate enother French revolution. ‘There may be a basis of truth underall these speeulations. It seems to be the prevailing opinion on the Continent that though “the em- pice is peace,” internal peace io France while Napoleon lives, his death will be the signal for chaos to come again, “After me,” said Louis XV., “comes the deluge.” But Louis Napoleon has given no sign of any such revolting convie- tion or apprehension. He has labored and is laboring to establish bis dynasty apon the strong foundation of the will of the French peo- ple; and he may succeed in this great object to the confusion of his enemies. The “Napoleonic ideas” of the first empire—those ideas of the imperial ascendancy of France so lately reaf- firmed as ‘in the recent speech of the present Emperor at Auxerré—must at all events be snb- ordinaied to the paramount ides of the peacefal succession of the throne. Hence we conclude that whatever may be the exact condition of Napoleon's health, it is sufficiently doubtful at hie ‘ime of life to warrant the conclusion that it has had much to do with bis late and present pacific and coneiliatory course in all his foreign relations, trom Mexico to Germany and Italy. In this view, as the prolongation of his years to 8 ripe old age will not only be a blessing to France, but to all Europe and the world at large, we trust that bis reign may still be long and prosperous.

The Star says that the magistrates engaged in the in- vestigation of the riot at the camp meeting at Shipley’s Woods, have committed five negroes to the Annapolis jail to answer the charge of being concerned in the affair, and have issued warrants against several white men who took part in the affair, one of whom acknowledged to a party after he left the camp ground that he knew all about it the night before, It having been charged that the nstigators of the riot wero the Conservative men of Anne Arundel, they are making every effort to bring all who participated in the affair to Justice, and it is believed that before the magistrates’ investigation ts over the larger portion of these who took part in the alfray will be arrested and brought to trial. More Defection iu the Republican Ranks. J.J. Coombs, of this city, bas tendered his resigna- tion a3 a member of the Republican Union Executive Committe, on the ground that he holds views on the subject of the relation of the Inte rebellious States to the Union, and the rights and duties resulting therefrom, which are not mow regarded as orthodox by a majority of the republi- can party, although perfectly consistent with its repeated solomn declarations of principles during the existence of the late war, and until the rebellion has been completely overthrown.

The State Council of the Loyal League bas been in ses- sion here all day. Tho attendance has been quite large. ‘They have spent nearly all the time thus far in deaoune- ing the President and Raymond, and are this afternoon busy circulating a report that General Grant and Admi- rai Farragut refused to accompany the Presidential party any farther than Cloveland. The cause assigned is dis- gust of Seward. The dénunciation of Raymond arose from a telegraph from the bojters from the National Republican Commit. tec, in session in Philadelphia, asking that some one may be named to serve on that committee from this State in the place of Raymond. A discussion teok place over who should be designated as Lis successor. As a matter of course, cach delegate had to give his opinion of Ray- mond's action before they could say who they favored for his place. There was a strong {feeling man- ifested in favor of desiguating Greeley, but it is understood that he doves mot desire the position, preferring to ho a member of tho State Central Committee to be appointed by the Convention ere to-morrow.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK WERALD. Sa, Jouxs, N. F., Sept. 4, 1966. ‘You have already had a brief extract from Mr. Dean's diary of the “picking up” expedition of the old cable to the time of the departure of the Terrible from the Grom Eastern for Heart's Content. According to that authority the cable was first brought to the surface of the water at ten o'clock and forty-five minutes on the morning of the 17th ultimo, causing great enthusiasm, which lasted only a few moments; for scarcely had the cheering died away when the fact become known that the cable bad noiseless!y parted from the grapnels. Mr. Doan describes the incident of tho picking up, thus dealing with the main incident of that morning. Let us go back to the day previous and see what the Chief Engineer had been doing. ‘At one fifty o’clock P. M. he gave instructions to pay out the grapnel rope, which was on the ground at foar forty-nine, About seven o'clock P. M. they commenced to heave &, and at nino o'¢iock they had hauled in one hundred fathoms, or thereabouts, One hour afterward they had payed them back agaim and then hung on by the rope until daylight iu the morning, when the heaving up went on cantinuodsty. At seve o'clock A. M., one hundred and ten fathors being in, there was a strain op the dynamometer of 10.4, and when but three hundred fathoms remained to come up the instrument indicated a strain of 8.2, with a calcu- Jated strain of 6.7 on the electric cable. - We signalled to the Terrible to send us bows, and her two cutters came, into each of which Mr. Canning put: Ieuding cable hand. The bows took up their positions, the oue on the starboard, the other on the port bow, se 80 as to be ready to put the hawser stoppers ou the cable if it should comeup. By half-past ton o'clock A.
