There were seven new cases of cholera reported in this olty yesterday, and five burial permis wore granted. In Brooklyn one death and four new cases were reported. An article giving the history of the churches tn Brook- tyn la pablished in our columns this morning. Their ‘number is one hundred and seventy-five, and that city is called very justly the “City of Charches."' When it was ‘@ more village, the directors of a proposed liquor distil- Mang company, fearing that their veature would prove a fatiure, determined, on the advice of a member, to build @ church on one corner of each block, and a liquor store opposite; and the carrying out of this proposition is sald to be the original canse of the muiltiplicuy of churches and dramahops tn that city.

The procession to the capital was one of the most bril- Mant displays ever witnessed in that city. The arrival at Washington was delayed an hour and a half, but although the crowd in waiting became impatient it suffered no diminution. This delay, how- ever, was sufficient to bring the darkness on before the party reached Washington, and thus destroyed in some degree the effct of the demonstration At the ‘White House tho President reviewed the column as it passed, and in answer to repeated cheers he made ‘an address of thanks for the welcome, ant in the main hall he briefly addrozsed the Veterans of 1812 Secre- tary Seward, still suffering from his attack of tilness, arrived in the afternoon, Strong hopes are now enter- tained of bis speedy recovery. The whole number of killed in the Johzstown accident ts now reported at four, and the wounded at one hundred and fifty, Our special Fashion’s correspondent in Paria, writing on the 3ist of August, furnishes important information as to the approaching revival of the old style of ladies’ costume of that capital as the prevailing mode, The cut and finish patronized by Madame de Pompadour, Madame du Barry, Ninon de I’Enolos and ‘other celebri- ties are likely to be repeated. The latest fashionable dresses seen at Biarritz and in the city are described. During the past week the deaths by cholera in St. Louls numbered 272. Two cases of cholera were reported in Norfolk on Thursday. A correspondent in Haytt, dating at Cape Haytion, on the 224 of August, reports that General Sainave after his capture by General Calral, was confined at Port au Prince and would be immediately oxecuted by order of President Geffrard. Salnave was born at Cape Haytion, is about thirty-five years of age, and regarded as a very humane mao. He bas many adberents and it Is oon- sidered that his death will not impede the revolationary movement in any degreo, The object he had in view, ‘and whvob his party now secks to attain, is the deposition of Geffrard—who has assumed dictatorial powers—from office, and the elecuon of a uew President by universal suffrage. Cleveland is already filling up with delegates to the Soldiers’ aud Sailors’ Convention which moets there to- morrow, It is supposed there will be five thousand del- egatos in the Convention.

Arrangements are being made for a grand display and the boya in blue are organizing for tho occasion. The Ohio river steamboat Allena May exploded a jler near Gallipolis, Obio, yesterday morning, by which three persons were killed and twelyo wounded. Ayoung man named Frank Rounds had a difficulty with Adolph Proger, a merchant, by whom he was em- ployed, in Boston, yesterday, in which the latter was shottwice. The difficulty was in relation toa young lady. The wounds are sorious, but not dangerous. Rounds was arrceted. A shoddy factory in Northboro, Mass, vas destroyed by fire yesterday.

For the information of our readers at this important crisis in our poli‘ical affairs we re- publish this morning the text of the constitu- tional amendment adopted at the late session of Congress, and now before the country nematling she Mint teak of entification DY Tiree- fourths of the Legislatures of the States com- posing the Union, in reference to the recon- straction and restorstion of the lately rebellious States, Believing from the results of the late Vermont and Maine elections, and from all the signs of the times, that this amond- ment will be sustained by all the Northern States in the elections yet to come, we hold that the true policy for the sdminis- tration and the Southern States directly con- corned is to move for the speediecst possible ratification of said amendment, in order that with the reassembling of the present Congress in December the excluded States may present 8 claim for admission which cannot be resisted by either House—the claim which secured at once the admission of the members from Ten- nessee. The rupture between Congress and the President on this question of restoration was unwise, and has proved unfortunate to the administration. The quarrel between these two departments of the government has been mis- chievous, and can result in nothing bat mis- chief so long as it may be persisted in. The bandying about between the President and Congress of charges of usurpation, despotism and despotic exercise of power wil! only make the matter worse the longer this worse than useless conflict is continued. Under the ex- traordinary war powers given to the President for the purpose of suppressing the rebellion he had, in the absence of Congress, an almost unlimited margin of discretion in the reor- ganization of the States rescued from the re- bellion. But with the reassembling of Congress this business constitutionally reverted from the Executive to Congress, the law-making de- partment of the government. Upon this point there should have been no controversy, elther an to the discretionary powers assumed by the President in the absence of Congress, or as to the right of Congress when in session to legia- late upon Southern reconstruction, Nor can we comprehend now what sacrifice of principle or consistency the President will make in sup- porting this constitutional amendment, when, at the utmost, it only proposes to fix in the supreme law of the land conditions to which, in some shape or other, he stands committed as holding them necessary for the future peace and security of the Union. The fiest section of this amendment declares the equality in their civil rights ofall persons, of all colors, born or naturalized in the United States and subject to their jurisdiction. It strikes us that as the institution of African slavery and all its collateral securities have been wiped out of the constitution by the amendment abolishing slavery this new amendment, in its first see tion, is only a reaffirmation of the instrument an it now stands; for in taking out slavery no distinction in relation to the Africas race remains in the constitution—none whatever. The second section of the new amendment pro vides that suffrage and representation shall go together, and that as the respective States shall abridge the suffrage to males of twenty-one years in reference to the elections of federal and State officers the enumeration of their peo- Ple for representation in Congress shall be cor- teduced. This is a pretty severe teat, as we have shown, to South Carolina ; but, on the other bend, if she ean exalade ber four hundred thousand blacks from suffrage, and give to. her three hundred thousand whites a representaton In Congress of seven hundred thousand people, it will be pleaded that seven white men in New York or any other*Northern State are reduced to the level in Congress of three white men in South Carolina; and thus this distinction, while it lasts, will be made a theme of mischievous sectional agitation. Under the constitution before the rebellion only three-fifths of the slavesof the South were allowed in counting the people for representa- tion in Congress, but this was among the con- ceasions to slavery which strengthened the hands of the Northern abolitionists. Section three of the new amendment ex- cludes from any federal office hereafter, until relieved by a two-thirds vote of each House of Congress, certain parties who, in the service of the United States, had sworn to support the constitution and afterwards joined the rebel- lion. This may seem to many generous minds too sweeping in its exclusions; but as it is apparent that it meets the prevailing tone and temper of the Union war party of the North the best the South can do is to accept it, and trust to the healing influences of reunion to obliterate in a general law of Congress by a two-thirds vote all distinctions between rebels and Unionists of the late war. We dare say it will very soon come to this with the adoption of this amendment by the Southern States, But section four, in regard to the national war debt, all rebel debts and obligations, and to compensation for emancipated slaves as a measure of security for the future, embodies the great secret of the strength of this consti- tutional amendment in the Northern States. Herein lies the great power of the republican party in the North, though cut off from the administration. It is the power of three thou- sand millions of dollars diffused in the national currency and securilies broadcast over the land. Hence we say that sound policy and wisdom call upon the administration and the South to accept and aid in the ratification of this constitutional amendment without further loas of time. EThe Keconstruction of the New York Democracy. ‘When Dean Richmond died the rump of the old democracy in this State was left without a leader. The discussion in regard to his suc- ceasor was very general, and we participated ia the speculations and sought to give them a practical direction. We suggested that Com- modore Vanderbilt, with his team of three rail- roads, tandem ; or George Law, with his admin- istrative talent; or Chauncey Vibbard, with bis knowledge of locomotives; or A. T. Stewart, with his large cash capital; or Weed and Cag- ger, who would make a good manager if rolled into one, might be called upon to fill tho posi- tion which Dean Richmond’s death had vacated. The sore needs of the politicians proved more influential than our advice, however, and we learn from the News and Tribune that the office of the leader of democracy was conceded at the recent Albany Odnvention, not to any of the gentlemen whom we have named, but to that famous individual, John Morrissey, Esq. The new political fim that is to take the place of the old firm, dissolved by the death of Mr. Richmond, is consequently composed of John Morrissey, Seward, Weod & Co. The startling antecedents of Mr. Morrissey, the his- torical record of Mx. Seward and the legislative experience of Mr. Weed make a very strong combination. Their fret campaign will test the question ; but at present wo have no doubt that the reign of this new regency will be briet and brilliant, The plans already sketched by them are certainly very bold and original. Mr. Morriasey is to go to Congress, from some safe district, carrying in with him the Hon. James Brooks, whom he has taken under his wing. Mr. Seward is to remain in the Cabinet and manipulate matters a@ adroitly as possible for the benefit of the firm. Mr. Weed is to be the outside partner, with one eye upon Albany and the other upon Washington—e railroad bill in one hand and a foreign contract in the other, and his: right coat-tail pocket stuffed with copies of the Times containing articles against Greeley, while his left coat-tail pocket is full of copies of the Tribune, containing articles by Greeley which he has yet to answer. The first public act of the now firm, intended as a sensation advertisement of their copartner- ship, was the nomination of young Mr. Hoffman fer Governor. This was accomplished by Mr. Morrissey, while Mr. Weed looked on in speech- less admiration of the audacity and skill of his confederate. It now devolves upon the firm to elect their candidate, and it will be curious and interesting to observe their methods of procedure. We should not be surprised if, by laying their heads together and pulling with a will, they succeeded in giving Mr. Hoffman forty thousand majority in this city and vicinity. Mr. Morrissey has control of several banks full of money; Mr. Seward can operate upon certain federal officoholders here, and Mr. Weed has not quite lost his old ability to promise everybody evorything, But-and it is this but that will be fatal—their forty thousand majority here will be buried beneath sixty or seventy thou- sand radical majority in the rest of the State, leaving the firm of Morrissey, Seward, Weed & Co. bankrupt by about twenty or thirty thou- sand votes. This will end their short but gay career, and we shall have a grand funeral in Tammany Hall, where the business office of the firm is now located. It is a pity that the courteous and gentlemanly Rey. Mr. Brownlow will not consent to preach the funcral sermon. But, although the splendid rounds which Mr. Morrissey fought in the convention—by which all the other candidates were made to throw up the sponge and Mr. Hoffman was nominated by acclamation—will thus be nullified by the un- fortunate aceident of an overwhelming radical victory at the polls, we do not at all despair of having a very funny and exciting canvass. Mr. Morrissey is too game a manager to relin- quish the battle because the odds are against him after he has once shied his castor into the ring, and Messrs. Seward and Weed are now struggling for life. Still, the disorganization of the democracy is too serious to admit of a doubt as to the result, Since Tammany Hall has connected ite fate with that of the State tickot nothing can save it from destruction. Tho city is all right and may turn outs vast crowd of mourners; but that will not avert the blow. Mr. Bill Poole’s immense funeral did not restore bim to life. We notice that many shrewd men are anticipating this breaking up. Messrs. Belmont and Barlow, finding politics more expensive than dinners and not half 90 enjoyable, have quietly withdrawn, and will devote themselves to the “shent-per-shent” business infutare. The Hons. Ben and Fernando Wood are going to try to get into Congress. as their Jast chance, having sold the News to a couple of active, enterpris- ing and ambitious young men, who will make it a first rate local newspaper, and crush out two or three of our sickly contemporaries, Tammany Hall itself is to be bought up by an express company, and its odd collection of scalps, tomahawks and platforms will be presented to the Park maseum. Then, with this clear- ing outof the democratic rump, we shall probably see better times in our local politics. At any rate we cannot possibly see any worse, : The Prospects of the Theatrical Senson. With the début of Ristori at the French thea- tre on Thursday evening the theatrical season will commence. Its prospects are on the whole remarkably brilliant, The arrival of the great Queen of Tragedy has been, as we anticipated, the signal for a general revival of public inter- est in the drama, and has occasioned unusual activity among the managers. At almostevery theatre something .popular has boen prepared for the new season. Some managers may desert the legitimate drama for circus performances, and others for still more objectionable repre- sentations; but at nearly every house the public are sure of being amused, and, after all, that is the object of amusements. Wo expect to see a very bright and dashing winter in the metropolis this year. The thea- tres will be crowded, and there will be innu- merable balls and private parties. Fashiona- ble society will miss the opera, of course; but the Academy of Music is far from being rebuilt, and ought to be surrounded with a board fence and exhibited as a ruins at twenty- five cents a head. The spirit of the season will be gaiety and glitter. People begin to feel that there may be trouble ahead, and are determined to enjoy themselves while they may. It is useless to deny the fact that per- petual war would be a very good thing for the theatrical managers. During the rebellion they grew rich and independent; but the return of peace has thinned their audiences, emptied their pockets and reduced them to the patience and the misfortunes of Job. In troublous times people rush to the theatres to forget their cares and laugh away their fears. They did so in Paris during the great war, and they followed this historical prece- dent here during the civil war. Since the managers, like doctors, lawyers and divines, prosper upon the miseries of the rest of man- kind, the universal blustering and threatening which now alarm timid people will serve to crowd the theatres, and, unless Providence helps us out of our national muddles, we shall have @ very lively and delightful time this season. Who can tell what under the sun is going to bappen amid the whirl and the worry of this distracted and distracting country? Here is the Rev. Mr. Brownlow going sbout from town to town trying to raise « radical army to invade the South again, kill off all the Southern people, burn up all the houses, barns, chicken-coops and fences, and stake off the ground In village lots for the intelligent and industrious freedmen. Here are the Fenians skirmishing about and evidently contemplating another raid upon Canada, which the old lady Britannia has sent over one regiment of beef- eaters to prevent. Yonder are those dreadfal Kanucks, who have organized a socicty called the U-E-lians—or the U-LI-eans—to devastate our border towns, 2 last. Albans, and keep the New England Fenians busy in defending their own homes. Then all Europe is begin- ning to talk about an alliance for purposes of offence and defence between the United States and Russia, and will not allow us to have little island for a coal depot in the Mediterra- nean, lest our government should meditate joining Russia in a free fight with the balance of the world. Besides this President Johnson, looking at affairs through the medium of the Vermont and Maine elections, is reflecting that it is time for him to rouse the British lion again by demanding indemnity for the Alabama damages, and also to give Mr. Maximilian a parting kick in Mexico. Worse than all, a contemporary, pever before noted for its enter- prise, has actually discovered s mare’s nest, with four negro regiments in it, in this city ; and no good ci can now go to bed with any certainty that his head will not be chopped off before morning by some, big, black revoln- tionist. Tho times are out of joint, and the only way to set them right is to go often and early to the theatres and get as much enjoy- ment as possible out of the fleeting moments, We believe that the people will heartily adopt this philosophy during the coming season. Tar Track on Broapway.—We are not afflicted with a very curious disposition, but we should really like to know what is the meaning of that railroad track on Broadway between Union square and Thirteenth street. Who does it belong to? What is it doing there? For about a year it has lain In the street, looking as if it had been dropped by mistake. It does no good that we can see, and, as it catches every passing omnibus, makes the drivers swear, and tosses the passengers about, we suggest that it had better be taken up, unless it be placed there for an important object. Is it intended as « constant menace to Mr. A. T. Stewart? Our citizens look at it as they come down town in the morning, and look at it again as they go up town at night; but, finding that it does not grow, they soon cease to notice it, Perbaps some shrewd fellow has planted it there with the idea that by and by the people will get so accustomed to it that he can add another block of track, and then another, and another, until finally we wake up and discover a railroad from Union square to the Battery, with six cents fare, straps to hang np the poor passengers, and all the other modern improvements. If this be the design we should like to know it; and, in order to develop the intentions of the honorable gentlemen who put it down, we move that it be taken up asa nuisance. Tur Price or Oats.—What is the price of oatst In July, 1864, when gold rose to 285, oats went up to one dollar per bushel. Upon this rise of oats our city stage companics finally succeeded in raising their fare from six to ten cents, Now gold is down to 146, and oats can be purchased in New Jersey at forty-seven cents. The stage companies, bow- ever, still charge ten cents for an omnibus ride. We are, therefore, « little carious to know, in behalf of the public, what prevents a reduction ia the omnibus fare. Will any stage company please inform us, so far ae it is concerned, what fe the price of cate? A Reomenr or Hossans vor Canapa.—lIt is quite amusing to notice the acale on which the military movements of England are made, and the tremendous flourish that is kept up about them. The universal world, and especially the Yankee nation and the Fenians, are notified that a regiment of hussars has been shipped by the Cunard i Europa and Tarifa from England to Canada, The Canadians will feel proud of this, and will bristle up with immense military ardor. A thousand hussars—splendid looking fellows, with their jackets, which they had not time to put on at the battle of Water- loo before going into action, atill hanging off their shoulders, magnificently mounted on the best English horses, and commanded by offi- cers who never smelt gunpowder, and who belong to the first families of the aris- tocracy—it is supposed, will terrify the Fe- nians and oheck the aggressive Yankees. Now, while we can pity the weakness of the old lady across the herring ppnd whom we used to call mother about her ridiculous mili- tary movements and pet regiments, we deem it our duty, out of pure kindness, to inform her that her regiment of hussars, or many such, would be of little consequence in a fight with veterans on this side. They would be gobbled up in no time, horses, jackets and all, by the Fenians, if the United States should not inter- fere. These Fenians are federal and Confeder- ate soldiers, who have been tried in a hundred battles, Fighting is sport to them. They souff the air with ferocious impatience for the fight, as the war horse snuffs the battle afar off. We say nothing of the United States, Canada and all the British troops that could be sent would only be a moutaful to our armies. We mention only the Fenians, and warn the ele- gant, mustached young aristocrats who com- mand tho hussars to keep as far away from these federal and Confederate voterans a3 possible, THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION.

The Park Concert. As (he season wanes tho number of visitors to the Park, especially to the Saturday concerts, increases. On the first Saturday of the present month the pedestrians num- dered 20,569, equestrians 241, and vehicles 4,619. The following week there were 22,446 pedestrians, 243 eques- trians, and 7,433 vehicles, Yesterday the total number of visitors was computed at 40,000. The coolness of the weather compared with preceding woeks brought out all the Park Aabitués to the concert, It is gratifying te see the improvements that are daily in operation in an@ around this beautiful garden of New York. If some lems stringent rules regarding walking on the grass wore adopted by the Commissioners it would tend to make the Park more popular and more enjoyable, No eae on a sultry day in summer delights to saunter around gravelied and unshaded walks when an inviting commen ia before him. fGaturday is the only day on whieh visitors can enjoy this privilege, and on Sunday, the day of rest for the masses, they are debarred from that pleasure, The Park is exerting a powerful influence in reclaiming the waate tracts of land in its vicinity. AL- ready swamps are being filled up, rocks removed, some buildings erected, and streets graded on every sie even as far as 100th streot, But of all the improvements in the vioinity of the Park the most imporiant is the Projected “Garden of Art" on the North river, Thi new garden is partially modelled after the Crystal Palace gardens at fydenbam, in England, and will, when com- pleted, form one of the grandest public resorts in the city. It occupies a space of seventeen acres, extending from BSixtieth to Hair epanee street, and from ‘Tenth te Eleventh avenue, nds possess many natural ad~ vantages, and will be out and eml with welled walks, terraces, lakes, running streams spanae@ aviaries, conservatories, cascades, &o, Pig alg fountains, many of whi oe now fa! wi Placed in various of the grounds, The landscape gardon will Deoasanenas with matey. The proposed buildings are very numeroms, and will be principally devoted to art. The garden will be ready for opening next summer. Mr. Du- {rene, the projector, has already commenced operations on the perenne, which are themselves very picturcsqee and well adapted for such a purpose, On the nearest em- trance to the park from the Garden of Art—the Kighth avenue gate—the most extensive improvements are cea- templated by the Commissioners. Mr. Harvey Dodworth's absence from his band yester- day at the concert resulted in many of the pieces on the ppm being rendered in a very bungling manner, t tg strange that such pieces as the Allegr: from the eighth symphony by Beethoven, and Weber's overture to Preciosa, should be attempted im an open alr concert and by a mere band. The result was what might have been expected—a very uneatisfactory affair. Nothing short of an orchestra, and a full ono at teat can do justice to such works. The grand solection from Ballo in Maschera wns very poorly played. Not a tinge of color or appreciation of the ideas of the composer were perceptible, The reat of the programme —light, popular marches, quadriilos and galops—were very fairly given, A band should remember the ada euter tira orepidam, and leave orchestral pieces Tike those of Beethoven and Weber to those for whom they were compored. Theodore Thomas’ Concert at Terrace Garden. Those successful concerts are now drawing to a close, The cool weather and chilly breezes are decided enomiee te open air concerts, The eighty-cighth of tho season, which took place last night, was transferred from the pleasant garden to the capacious hall adjacent, though for such an orchestra as Mr. Thomas’ it is by far too small. The programme opened with a polonaise oy Hoffman, Five Hundred Thousand Devils, the ouly originality of which lay in the name, The overture Merry Wives of Windsor, played in fine style, was © pleasant change. Part IL. comprised as many things as could reasonably be expected and more Turkish March, by Mozart, it i quite unnecessary toe raise; ite exeoution was remarkable. A fantasia for Freee horn, The Tear, played by Mr. Henry schmite, was an exquisite piece of mournful and melody. Mr. Schmitz, who quite often performs these solos, is worthy of all praise for the manner ta which he bandles bis Laer ‘*>’Hoamweh,’’ with D Africaine. elsewhere; but we cannot help saying that a greater amble of sounds we have seldom heard. There wea, el something missing; it must have been the “ship and tree,"’ ut which the opera lones itm principal offect. Besides this the smaliness of the ball tor such powerful volume of sound was palufolly per. ceptible, The gem of the ast part was ‘ Dissol' Views," by Lumbye, in which the “ Zitter” was bi in with & peculiarly sweet eflect. A galop, ‘Terrace Garden," closed the concert. Signor Maccaforri’s Farewell Concert. ‘Wo wore surprised last evening at Irving Hall to see a number of prominent Italian vocalists appear in scenes, Fomanzas and cavatinas from operas, which were never intended to be sung with # plano sccompeniment is @ concert hall There are hundreds of concert piecw which an audience can enjoy and which will do more Justice to the artiste themselves. Signor Maccaferri, the Dénaficiatre, was assisted by Signora Boschettl, Mile. De a and Signors Oriandini, Yppolite, Amtonucc!, Mas- and Weinlich. A chorus of ten voices, aified bya small orchestra, sang the everiasting Soldiers’ Cherua, irl: ibis 7 i : ; i f if § bi ine i g § . opera than {a concert.

Irving Hall Sacred Orchestral Concerts. The programme for the concert at Irving Hell th eveping is far abead of anything ever attempted before in these conserts, Beethoven's immortal symphony ia C entire, the Turkish March, by Mozart, the overture ee the Merry Wives of Windsor, and a fantasia om the Tana- hauser will be performed by Mr. Thomas’ sdmirable ew ohestra, The will be Madame Jobannsen, Ms. Mathison, ; Mr. Letech, trombone, and Mr. Heind’, flutist, adh ooncorts and such artists cannot fall te command the attendance of the music-loving public, Second Grand Sacred Concert iu Brooklys. ‘The second gramd sacred concert in Brooklya wili take place thia evening, at eight o'clock, in the Athenmum Tae following artista will appear:—Madame K W.
