THE NEWS. ‘Tho Presidential party left Springfield yesterday morn- ing for Alton, where they took steamors down the Mis- sissippl, arriving in St. Loula tn the afternoon. Along the route the receptions were unmarked by any of the Unpleasant and disgraceful scenes enacted at ome pointe the few days previously, and the feception st St Louis was one of the grandes: ovations yet received. The boats which con- veyed the party from Alton were thirty-six in number, the largest and finest on the Mississippi, and each one bear- ing the name, temporarily, of a Stato of the Union. In tho city an immense procession conducted the party to the Lindell House, the streets being completely lined with flags, mottoes, devices and tri- umphal arches, All citizens, soldiers, officials and organizations, without regard to _ politics, joined hearttly in the demonstrations Arrangements are being perfected in Cincinnati and Louisville for a grand ovation on the occasion of the Presidential visit to those cities, Mayor Monroo and the other New Orleans ‘and Louisiana civil officials have invited the President by tologram to visit New Orleans on his present tour.

The dupes of the radical politicians cannot see how completely they have been and are being humbugged. The negroes have been coaxed, called brethren and fellow-citizens and heroes, and have been promised political and social equality, and all sorts of things; but the hypocritical negro- worshipping conventions at Philadelphia and Syracuse have cheated the “poor African.” Fred Douglass and one or two other black men were allowed to make speeches at Phila- delphia, were vociterously applauded and were even condescendingly permitted to walk side by side with white radicals ; but that was all. The blacks were not allowed to participate in the business of the convention, and both there and at Syracuse the negro suffrage question was dodged. The same treacherous conduct has been shown to Anna Dickinson and the other strong- minded women who have foolishly confided in these politicians. Under the old constitution women could have voted or have been elected to prominent offices‘had any of the States thought proper to give them the suffrage or put them on the ticket for office. There is nothing said in that instrument about males or females; “persons” is the only term used, xnd women are certainly persons. But a radical Congress in framing the amendment to the constitu- tion, which it passed by an overwhelm- ing majority, very carefully excluded the women by using the word “males.” Wherever the suffrage “is denied to any of the male Inhabitants twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States,” the basis of the representation is to be reduced in that proportion. The women are not count ed at all, and the idea of their having suffrage is utterly ignored. What does Miss Anna think of this? The verlest copperhead Con- gress that could be elected would do more for her and her strong-minded sisters than their pretended radical friends have done. This amendment was passed before they had a chance of going to the polls and running for office; but now they are completely cut off. They ought not to submit to such insults and treachery. They have been cheated and the niggers have been cheated, and the only thing left for them to do now is to unite—to form a combination—white women and black men, and call another convention. Human rightse— the inalienable, God-given rights of hamanity— must not be thus set aside by mere political expediency. To make such a convention complete there ought also to be some of the black sisters side by side with the white men who advocate the cause of universal equality. Greeley and Dinah should be there in harmo- nious union with Anna and Pompey. This and this only is the logical solution of the progressive philosophy of the age. Let Anna Dickinson and all the enlightened sisterhood of Women’s Rights unite themselves to the male niggers, and let our white philosophers take their black sisters into a new grand move- ment. The times are ripe for such a move- ment to remodel the oppressive and unequal laws of society, both political and social. We may then, in the language of Daniel O'Connell, “ agitate, agitate, agitate.” By all means let us have another Convention that will do justice to all. Gown 1 THe Treasvrr—Waat Suovip Be Dons wirn It.—The gold speculators are clamoring for another sale of the gold in the Treasury. There were sixty millions on hand, exclusive of about fifteen millions and a half of gold certificates in the hands of the public. The speculators having reaped such a rich har- vest from the previous injudicious sale of gold by Mr. McOulloch they are naturally intent upon getting more out of the Treasury vaults. The public will remember that shortly after that sale gold run up rapidly and was exported to an unprecedented extent It is hardly pos- sible to believe that the Secretary will, in the face of this fact, commit such a mistake again ; but he has such rude potions of finance and is #0 much under the influence of speculators that we deem it necessary to warn him against com- mitting a similarblunder. With the knowledge that the government has such a large reserve of specie the price is declining in the market, and if it bad double the amount the decline would be greater. This is ® plain and simple proposition which any one with common sense | can understand. The reserve of gold in the Bank of England is the measure of confidence | in that institution. It is the same with the | Kovernment, We do not want gold for the pur- | Pose of trade; the currency answers all that. | Gold is an important measure and standard of exchangeable values, and not necessarily the medium of exchange or trade, All that we | Want to know, therefore, in order to inspire confidence is that a large amount Is on hand T arslali uber seeded, Lei pho woll be Qn kept in reserve, then, though it may accumulate much more, Or if it should become necessary by and by to relieve the Treasury vaults let the specie be applied quietly and steadily to the purchase of the interest bearing debt. Miss Flora McFlimsey’s Wardrobe in Court. We publish in another column this morning & most extraordinary document that will pass from the Heratp into history and be quoted and referred to by authors, moralists, satirists, philosophers, reformers and modistes all over the world for at least a century to come. The document in question is an authentic schedule of the wardrobe of a young lady of this city in this year of grace. It came into our posses- sion in a perfectly legitimate but very curious manner. The lady is the daughter of a pro- fessional gentleman, well-known by his ex- tensive advertisements, and her wardrobe was destroyed by recent fire. Her father had effected an insurance upon this valuable pro- perty, however, and applied to the company for the money. The company, professing to be astounded at the amount demanded, resisted the claim, and the case was carried into court. The list of articles consumed or injured is one of the necessary papers in the case and was drawn up under the direction of the young lady herself. It is very easy to say that a wardrobe like that enumerated in this schedule is extrava- gant; but the fact is that the list scarcely gives a full idea of the extravagance of Ameri- can toileHes. Twenty-one thousand doilars 18 an immonse sum to have invested in clothing ; but it must be remembered that the original cost of these articles was much more than twenty-one thousand dollars, Many of the dresses, shawls, bonnets and other portions of the young Iady’s costumes had been more or less worn, and the prices effixed only represent their values at the time they were burned, which is all that the loser has the right to recover. For example, “nive pairs of boots and shoes” would be very cheap at $45; « “dust wrapper from Cashmere,” could hardly be purchased for $18; “tour magnificent opera cloaks” are valued at $175, when one of them would have cost that sum if new; cloth cloaks at $8, $10 and $12 must have been much used to be worth only that amount of money. No fashionable milliner could sell “four bonnets, some exceedingly elegant,” for $100, but would charge as much for. one elegant bonnet. It is evident, then, that to get at the real cost of the wardrobe of @ young lady of fashion in this metropolis we must add several thousand dollars to tho amount claimed. The articles when first pur- chased must have cost $30,000 at least. We learn from this schedule that to make a figure in the fashionable world a young lady requires twenty six robes of silk and satin, two of velvet, twenty-four dresses of poplin, cash- mere, grenadine and Swiss and India muslin, with underskirts and bodices of silk; nine jackets to wear over these dresses in the house, seventeen cloaks, montillas and capes for outdoor wear ; fifteen muslin skirts, besides the underskirts already enumerated ; twenty- one sets of flounces and capes of lace, of all qualities, from Honiton to Maltese ; and, in ad- dition to all these, a quantity of worn dresses, cloaks and jackets too numerous to mention and too comparatively insignificant to be estimated. We must take iuto consideration, however, the fact that the lady was probably not deprived of all her clothing by the fire. The schedule shows what she lost, but we have no means of ascertaining what she paved. Yet it is only by getting at this un- known quantity that we shall be able to realize the full extent of the young lady’s require- ments, At present we really tcel that the list we publish does her some injustice. Twenty- sixwilk robes and twenty-four other dresses would not satisfy any but the most reasonable and economical Flora McFlimsey. There are houses in the Fifth avenue that could reveal much more extensive wardrobes. The jewels and jewelry, too, which cost more heavily than dresses, as many a husband and father knows, are not set down in this list, which must con- sequently be pronounced inadequate. Still it will serve to convey to the uninitiated and to posterity some conception of the expenses of American fashionable life. We are not disposed to improve the occa- sion, as the parsons say, by preaching a sermon upon dress and extravagance. If the figures do not sermonize sufficiently for themselves no comments can give them additional force. It is a fact worthy of notice, however, that this schedule will be read abroad with much more astonishment than it will excite here. The American women are infinitely more ex- travagant than the English, the French or those of any other nation. With all the fine talk in the papers and in the novels about the magnificence of the toilettes of Paris, we doubt whether any French lady, except of the very highest rank, could display such « wardrobe as that detailed in this schedule. The Ameri- can ladies, when they go abroad, outdress the continentals unon their own ground, although hére we have not the advantage of those here- ditary fortunes, jewels and laces which afford foreigners #0 fine a capital to start with when they enter fashionable life. But, on the other hand, no Europeans would be so reckless in their dressing as Americans are. You will never see rich silks sweeping the streets or draggling unheeded over the carriage wheels in London or Paris; but these sights are so frequent upon Broadway and the Park drive that promenaders now scarcely notice them. Few European ladies would crowd s number of worn dresses, cloaks and jackets into one trunk, as the heroine of our schedule seems to have done. In short, if the women of the Old World have fewer dresses than ours, they take better care of what they have, and are never obliged to utter careless Miss Flora McFlim- sey’s complaints of “nothing to wear.” “Ou Taap Srevens” iN THR Fiein.—We publish to-day @ report of a campaign speech of “ Old Thad Stevens” in Pennsylvania, The old implacable radical leader seems to be as savage, as remorscless and insatiable in his revenges as ever. He howls over what he denounces as the usurpations of Andrew Jobn- son, the cleaning out of radical officeholders, the Insolence of Southem white rebels and the rights and wrongs of Southern black loyalists, and he threatens to try again tn Congress his favorite reconstruction policy of Southern con- fiscation and subjugation by extermination. But the fierce old fanatic seems also to be in s melancholy frame of mind, as if disheartened at the prospect before bim, and with the rough road he has bad to travel. In fact, from the aannral L. we iafor thas be let not altogether sanguine of a great radieal vic- tory in Pennsylvania, and so is rather disposed to mourn than rejoice. Poor old man! The Consolidation of Germany. Bismarck, the inexorable, continues to prose- cute his ambitious plans for the consolidation of Germany with an air of firmness and deter- mination which seems to insure his success, The weak German confederacy has been ob- literated forever, and a strong, albeit compul- sory, union of the German States, with Prussia for the central Power and Bismarck as the con- trolling genius, is rapidly succeeding. It is the empire of Frederick the Great which is being re-established. As that old military despotdis- missed the ministers who had ruined his father, and with only his own indomitable will to coun- sel him, restored at a blow the powerful empire of his ancestors, so Bismarck, scorning the petty restrictions of the constitution and banishing the constitutional advisers of the Crown, has wrought out a new Power in Europe. The liberality which characterized his first actions and declarations is not evincing itself in his final settlemonts. The confederation which was to have been formed of the States north of the Main proves only to have been a passing thought in the mind of Bis- marck ; those States have already been ab- sorbed in Prussia, and our yesterday’s advices by the cable stated that the bill submitted to the Prussian Legislature, having for its object the annexation of Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Nassau and Frankfort, had been adopted. Of course it was adopted, just as the bill legal- izing the unconstitutional acts of the King anterior to the war was passed ; in fact, just as Bismarck dictates, But Bismarck is not content with these petty additions, Schleswig-Holstein is also in his power, and he is preparing another bill annexing that province to the kingdom of Prussia, And not content with this he lays all Saxony under martial law and proceeds to the work of bringing that kingdom gradually to be a part and parcel of Prussia, The per- sonal friendship which King William enter- tains for King John of Saxony, deters the Prussian Minister from such summary action as that visited upon Hanover; but gradually that monarch will also find himself robbed of his possessions, which will be absorbed by Prus- sia. So far he has only been made to pay a portion of the war expenses, and to give up the important fortress of Kénigstein; but his kingdom is still in a “state of siege,” his peo- pie are forbidden to hold public meetings, and virtually the territory of Saxony is a part of that of Prussia. Her southern frontier of mountains, her numerous fortresses (like that of Kénigsteim), are oo important to the safoty and the harmonious configuration of the new German empire of Birmarck’s conception to be given up now that they are held by the grand army of the Prince Royal. Before the state of siege of Saxony is finished there will be one reigning king less in Europe, and his name will be recorded as that of the ex-King John of Saxony. Droummsa Hearts oy tan Eurzron Napo- teon.—Our telegraphic despatches trom Europe lately have informed us of the declining healt’ of the French Emperor, and the despatch in yesterday’s paper stated that probably he would not go to Biarritz on that account. In our remarks from time to time on European affairs we have commented on the effect this was hawng and might have upon the political situation of the Old World. Great events some- times turn upon circumstances which the mass of mankind do not see at the time. The world has thought it strange that the Emperor yielded 80 roudily to the new order of things in Europe brought about by the war without aggrandiz- ing France either by territorial acquisitions or through a decided policy of intervention. The press has spoken of the needle gun and mili- tary ability of Prussia, of the strength of the Prussian-Italian alliance and of the weakness of Austria, as upsetting Napoleon’s calculations and changing the political status of Europe in spite of him. We are disposed to think his non-intervention and acquiescence may be attributed to his health as much as to anything else. He is no longer a young man, and the vicissitudes of his life and the weighty cares of State tor eigliteen years are probably bring- ing bim near to the grave. Under these cir cumstances he naturally desires peace for his empire. His son is a child yet, and a regency is always perilous. A general and prolonged European war, which would in all probability be the result of French intervention, might leave his son the inheritor of insurmountable difficulties. When, therefore, he continues to reiterate “the empire is peace,” we think he is looking chiefly fo the perpetuation of his dynasty. In this point of view the Emperor's bad health may be the best guarantee of Ger- man consolidation, Italian unity and estab- lished peace upon the new basis of political power in Europe. Tae Rapicats anp THe Fenians.—We are in- formed, through our reporter's reports of the Fenian Congress at Troy (the Roberts Fenians), that a dead set has been made at them by certain leading radicals, with promises of finan- cial and political aid if they would only join in with the radical faction in theapproaching State election. We further understand that two or three of the managers of this Fenian Roberts organization have yielded to these radical approaches and are preparing to march first into the political field against Presi- dent Johnson before they again try the for- tunes of the battlefield against the despotism of the hated Saxons. This appenrs to us the height of foolishness, . What confidence can be placed in any promises of the radicals to Irish- men when we see how coolly they turn their backs upon their promises to the black race? The Fenians may rely upon it that these smooth-voiced radicals in their approaches to serve the Fenian cause, intend only to use the Fenians to serve the radical cause and then to whistle them down the wind. Old birds cannot be caught with such chaff, but the younger ones may need looking after.

Bright skies and » bracing atmosphere greeted the thousands that attended the concert at the Park yester- day. It is interesting to watch the promenaders on the Mall. The majority belong to the fair sex, and they are the most demonstrative of Mr. Dodworth’s audience—not, indeed, in paying attention to the music, as they are too much preoccupied in conversation with their attendant cavaliers; but in vivacity and ubiquity they are like the feathered songsters overhead. Now and then an envious criticism on a rival fall bonnet, or a waterfall, was min- gled with disquisitions on parties, balls, picnics, and last, though not least, “‘beaux.’’ In the immediate vicinity of the stand were those who came to hear the following excellent programme ;— . ‘Viva Italia—March. new Twenty-second it Pe Tagamet meme Fest March and chorus from Pavilion Galop It would be unfair to expect in an open air concert and without a regular orchestra, anything Ifke Gnished execution and coloring in some of those works; but, taking these things into consideration, they were very fairly rendered. The national potpourri, as usual, ter- minated the concert. Arion Midsummer Night’s Festival. Belvidere Lion Park was all abiaze on Thursday night, and shone with « radiance that Pau! Falk never before reamed of in his philosophy. The long path leading up from the Eighth avenue to this shrine of music and pleasure glittered with a thousand Chinese and Japanese lanterns, while the immense piatform was a constella- tion of light and beauty. The blinding glare of caloium lights, the myriad gas jete springing forth in every part of the grounds, the constant flash of fireworks, thunder of cannon, and the lurid face of the artificial moon rising beyond the Park, all heralded forth to the people of Gotham the glad tidings that the jolly Arions were hold- ing high carnival in the redoubtable Falk'sdomain, Pass- ing tho enchanted portals, which were guarded by tall Fatherlandors, clad tn shining armor, with tinsel greaves and innocuous swords, the visitor was greeted by the name of the society, blazing out in front of the platform, and seemingly suspended in mid air. At ten o'clock the platform was crowded. The last strains of that most cbarming of waltzes, “Die Ersten Curen,” rose on the night air, and exhausted couples were gradually dropping out of the whirling throng, when the display of fireworks took piace. Some of the pieces were very fine, and oo Fourth of July dispiay at the City Hall could match the scene and its accossories, ‘The flight of a rock~t at Lion Park, the blue and red fire illuminating the picturesque grounds, the wheels, wind- mills and other paraphornalia of “villanous saltpetre’’ Se very different there to what they do in the crowded ‘The concluding pioce, “Arion on his Dolpnin Rid- rer ‘Through the Waves," elicited applause frm ali. Mr. Krolipfeitter, the manager of the fireworks slso adopted another ingenious plan. On an eminence in Central Park, ‘At somed'siance from Falk's, a large transparency, re- Presenting the rising moon was placed on the top of a igh pole, It could be seen for a long distance on every tide. The cadaverous-looking residents of theshanties in the vicinity could not well make out at firat what it was, A vonerable grandmother of Milesian prociivities crossed horself plously aud ventured an opinion that it was “the day of Can aor at which her son, Phelim, laughed incredulously, asking her ‘did she niver hear an ayclips.”” ‘Ihe apparition of a very black man imme diately in front of the phenomenon produced @ third Y inion that “it was the divil himself or De.
