Now York, Tuesday, September 18, 1866. THE NAW Ss. EUROPE. Our advices by the Atlantic cable are dated in Vienna, Berlin and Constantinople on the 16th, and in London and Liverpool on the 17th of September. The treaty of peace between Austria and Italy has.not boen signed, in consequence of a financial difficulty. Austria has taken a position towards Italy which ren- ders her relations with Prussia less friendly, but our doapatches go to show that diplomatic relations have been established between the courts of Vienua and Ber- lin notwithstanding. Tue King of Saxony is likely to be excluded from the deliberations for the reorganization of Germany. North Schleswig votes for incorporation with Prussia. Another great reform demonstration is to be held in London, e Admirat Goldsborough’s squadron is at Southampton, The sultan has gent reinforcements to Candia, whore tho insurgents are in a defiant attitude. A severe defeat of the South American allies by the Paraguayans is reported by way of England. By the steamship Palmyra, at this port yesterday, we received our European files dated to the 4th instant. The papers contain some very interesting details of our cable Teports to that day. Russian journals, published in Moscow and %t. Peters- burg, give a simultaneous expression to the opinion that Europe ts on the eve of another great war convulsion in consequence of the complications already existing and likely to be evolved m the Southeast. Itis intimated: ‘that Russia may wish to be compensated for the “heavy biows"' which have beon inflicted on her interests in the Battic'during the last few years. ‘Tho Exeter Hall radicals of England made a very ox- excited and serious demonstration in London in denun- ciation of Ex-Governor Eyre aud his rule in Jamaica during the late negro revolt, The abolitionists burned Mr, Eyre in eMgy, crying out that “they wished they could do the same in the flesh with all his aristocratic supporters, men who never earned twoponce in their livos,”” ‘The London News, an Exctor Hall organ, warns Presi- dont Johnson of the dangers which may ensue from the conflict between the Executive and Congross of the United States, Gonsols wore quoted at 891;, for monoy, in London at noon yesterday.

The convention of the soldiers’ and sailors’, who aro favorable to a restoration of the Union <n President Jobnson’s plan, met at Cleveland, yesterday. The scenes in that city have consequently been more lively than usual, the hotels being crowded with o'd veterans in uniform, and continual strains of music filling the air from the mumerous bands accom- panying the delegagations, ‘The crowds are en- thusiastic over meeting with old time com- rades again, although the attendance is not so large as was anticipated. On the gssembling of the convention at baif past two Generals Wool, Steedman, Custer, Rousseau, Granger, McCovk, Heath, and others, were greeted with cheers, loud and prolonged, as they sover- ally appeared. On motion, General Wool was called temporarily to the chair, He made a few remarks om the great principles which bad called the council together. Ho said that the brave were ever generous. We had had war.enough. A committee on permanent organiza- tion, consisting of one from each State was then ap- pointed. While awaiting the report of the committee General Thomas Ewing, of Kansas, was loudly called for and addressed tho convention at considerable length. The convention then adjourned until ten o'clock this morning to await the arrive! of other delegations, who have been delayed on the way. In the meeting of the Committee on Permanent Organization, General Granger was chosen permancnt Presideat by a close ballot against General Steedman, his majority over the latter being only one vote.

Tho South States the Constitutional Amendment, The precise question now before the South- ern States still excluded from Congress is whether they shall accept the advantages offered them with the immediate fadoption of the constitutional ' amendment now before the States for their ratification, or remain “ out in the cold” for an indefinite length of time—one, two, five, ten or twenty years, waiting for something more acceptable as the price of their restoration, This is the question, and we now feel it to be our duty, in behalf of the South, the adminis- tration and the country at large, to urge upon the excluded States the saving policy and the great advantages of an immediate adoption of the conditions offered by Congress in this atore- said amendment, The great difficulty in this matter lies in the alternative presented of the admission of the blacks to the elective fran- chise or th€ir exclusion from the enumeration of the people of every State concerned in representation in Congress. The following tables will show how this section of the amendment will work in the excluded or un- reconstructed States, with the denial or con- cession of the suffrage to the blacks, according to the census of 1860 :— The Brciuded or| White Unrcconstructed| Pr Pe ve 2,000; 435,080, 90,357 144) 111,115) 54,053 932| 61,745) 14,347 3,500) 198) 106,366 18,647] 331,726| 50,510 Misstestppi.. 778} 436,631) 69,120 Nort!)

This, among the Southern poli- ticians, may seem a hard condition either way ; but as it is evident that the North will not con- sent to a representation of the Southern blacks in Congress without suffrage, the Southern States must make their election upon this amendment, one way or the other. Nor can we understand why there should be any hesi- tation, under the present state of things, in the choice of the alternative, There isa prejudice of two hundred years’ growth in the South against the admission of the blacks among the Southern whites to a footing of political equal- ity. This prejudice cannot be removed by Congressional legislation nor even by a consti- tutional amendment. It must be left to the changing influences of time. Very well. Even 8o this amendment proposes to leave it. Every State concerned has the choice of admitting to or excluding from the suffrage its black popu- lation; and as this prejudice against the blacks is the prédominant idea among the ruling Southern whites, their only course is to accept the amendment with the distinct understanding among themselves that they will exclude tho blacks from the ballot-box in toto for the pre- sent, submitting to the loss of their represen- tation in Congress, We recommend this course to the Southern States with the adoption of the amendment. They will not in reality lose much in the House in losing twenty members, considering the overwhelming Northern majority against them in that body. By coming in with even forty members they will certainly put an end to the power of the radicals to carry their measures by a two-thirds vote, and we doubt not that upon their extreme issues the radicals will be left in a minority, with the union of the North- ern democrats and moderate republicans with the Southern members, On the other hand, in the Senate these South- ern Slates remain by this amendment un- touched. It is in the Senate, too, that the South, in any event, must henceforth look for its balance of power in Congress; and in the Senate it can at once gain this balance of power by the adoption of this constitutional amend- ment. The struggle between the President and Congress upon this question of reconstruc- tion should have ended on the part of the President with the passage of this amendment by a two-thirds vote in each House, inasmuch as this is the vote which makes a bill a law of the land over the veto of the President. His co-operation now in behalf of the speediest possible ratification of the amendment is his only true course. It offers him the same ad- vantages over the radicals which it offers the excluded States, and his object and their object now paramount to all others ought to be the full representation of all the States in Con- gress on the basis of this constitutional amend- ment during the approaching session. ‘The New York Herald and the Copperhead Radicals. Taking up one of our copperhend radical contemporaries yesterday we were surprised to see in its leading column some really read- able and sensible. paragraphs. At first we were astonished at this phenomenon, never having seen any such paragraphs in that paper before; but upon a close inspection we dis- covered that they were extracts from the Huratp of a week or two ago, and of course this accounted for the difference between them and the customary publications of our con- temporary. These extracts were reprinted tor the purpose of convicting us of inconsistency, although the copperhead radical editor pre- faced them with the remark that “in arraign- ing the Heratp for inconsistency we run the hazard of making ourselves ridiculous’ Pre- cisely #0; but although the e@itor did certainly make himself ridiculous, yet he unintentionally did his readers a service by presenting them with some of the Henan editorials, and that makes the matter all right. Well, we like our articles as republished by our contemporary very well indeed. Like Mr. Beocher, we reiterate and endorse all that we have said before and go on to improve upon it ag events give us morc light. In the extracts reprinted we predicted great dangers to the country if the radicals, like Thad Stevens and the irrepressivle Ben Butler, should get the upper hand at the coming elec- tions, We now repeat that prediction. In order to defeat the radicals we have cleared away the rubbish with which they have en- deavored to conceal the real issue of the elec- tions, and we have brought that issne promi- nently before the people. Ii is the constitu- tional amendment under which Tennessee was admitted to represontation in Congress. This amendment was first proposed by President Jobnson in bis messages and speeches; it was passed through Congress by the more moderate republicans, after being bitterly opposed by the leading radicals, and ander it the Southern States can be restored to their places in the national legislature as soon as they accept and ratify it, Its provisions and conditions are, o& the whole, acceptable, and in the present temper of the public mind they are the best that the South can get. The Vermont and Maine electioas show this conclusively. Now, in conducting a great newspaper, as in commanding sn army, strategy is sometimes essential, The young men who have charge of our contemporary do not understand this, but they will learn it as they grow older. Our strategy, like General Grant’s, consists in get- ting a8 close to the enemy as possible. By means of this constitutional amendment we shall get the Southern representatives into Congress face to face with the radicals, and thus we can defeat the faction which is so dangerous to the country. Our contemporary, on the other hand, is pursuing an ignorant policy, caleu- lated to keep the South out of Congress indefi- nitely, and is, consequently, aiding and abet- ting the radicals in their schemes. The Manti- lini at the bead of this copperhead radical organ ought to study our course more atten- tively and follow it more steadily, if he wants takoep up with the people. Instead of that, whenever he aces us executing some splendid flank movement, like that which we have just explained, he becomes bewildered, stops in the middle of the road and cries out that we have “flang ® complete summersault,” charges us with having stabbed the democracy under the fifth rib, and loudly accuses us of “ treachery.” We might reply to thia that it is nobody's busi- ness whethor we wiab the democracy or not, What did the democracy ever do that we should hesitate to strike them when they get ia the way of our progress towards reunion? How can we be guilty of “treachery” to a party when we were always and avowoedly independ- ent of all parties? Such talk as this about “treachery” and “summersaults” may apply toa mere partisan organ, but it cannotapply to the Haratp. In this spirit wo might have answered the clamors of our contemporary ; but happen- ing to be in a very good humor, we have taken the trouble to give him a lesson in political and newspaper strategy instead. We hope that he will study it and adopt it, but we are afraid that, like the original Mantilini in the novel, his intellect will be too weak for the task, and he will be unable to comprehend “ the demnition total.” ‘Will the War in Europe Be Renewed? The latest news from Europe by telegraph with regard to the negotiations between the pelligerents in the war just ended appears to indicate an unsettled state of things still and a possibility of the war being renewed. Indeed, from the tone of the cable despatches published yesterday, war would appear to be quite proba- ble. Itis stated that the negotiations fora peace between Austria and Italy had come to a lock in consequence of the former Power resisting the demands of the latter with regard to giving up certain property in Venetia and on the question of indemnity. It is even etated that the homeward march and demobilization of the Prussian troops had been stopped in con- sequence of this new difficulty, and that Prussia had notified Austria that she should stand by Italy, her ally, even to reopening the war, if Austria should insist upon claims that are in- admissible. We think it will turn out that these views are sensational and have little foundation in fact. The fundamental basis of a treaty of peace must have been well understood before the sword was sheathed, and it is unreasonable to suppose Austria would risk a war again on & mere question of details about indemnity or certain property in Venetia, We have no idea that there is any very serious difficulty making a renewal of the war imminent. It is not at all unlikely, however, that there may be at the bottom of these reports some diplomatic mancenvring on the part of the Emperor Napoleon, in order to get his hand in the busi- ness and bring about a general European con- gress. He may have stimulated Austria to make a hitch in the negotiations for this pur- pose. After having assumed so much and fiaitered French vanity with the idea that he was the great arbiter in the affairs of Europe, to be set aside ao coolly in the extraordinary changes that have taken place is very humiliat- ing. Prussia, with her ally, Italy, went on breaking up the old order of things and the old map of Europe and rearranging the map of central and southern Europe as if no such per- son as Napoleon was in existence. In a fow weeks’ campaign the prestige of Napoleonic and French power, which had kept the Old World in dread previously, was utterly destroyed. Even his favorite scheme of a congress of great Powers was scouted. It would be natural, therefore, for Napoleon to put his hand in the present negotiations, if possible, in order to regain some ot the prestige he has lost. It is not unlikely he may be using Austria to bring about a congress in which he may hope to make a considerable figure. Still, we do not think the war will be renewed; nor havé we the loast idea Napoloon would go to war him- self. The condition of his health and dynasty would deter him from war. The great world’s fair to be held at Paris next year, from which the Parisians and all France expect to gain a great deal, would be prevented should he go to war. He hastoo much at stake to take such ® dangerous step. In fact it would not be to the interest of either France or Ausiria to re- open @ conflict of arms. Nor does Prussia or Italy desire it. If France were to draw the sword in the present temper of Europe, thore would be, in all probability, sach a combina- tion against her as would create a revolution and destroy the empire. ‘Taking all theac things into consideration, we think the war will not be reopened, at least not for thé causes spoken of in the cable despatches. Politics in the Pulpit. The parsons having returned from their summer vacation resumed their pulpits on Sunday for a new political campaign. They appear to be refreshed with the waters of fashionable resorts, salt and fresh; but the “waters of life” do not appear to have inspired them very much towards the fulfilment of their supposed mission—the spiritual regeneration of their flocks. With few exceptions the sermons preached on Sunday were political barangues, some covert and insidious, some open, bold, and almost blasphemous. Henry Word Beecher, more cunning than the rest of the political preachers, did not refer directly to polities, but the whole tenor of his address had a marked political significance. He dealt rather with historical ideas and the great men of history than with local events, prospects or issues, but nevertheless there was no mistaking the direction in which his thoughts were turn- ing while his philosophy was relieving itself im eloquent words. His sermon was a calm, dignitied and stateemanlike effort, altogether at variance with thode of the other pulpit ayita- tore. Beecher’s discourse indicates the man of thought; those of the others the effusions of men of froth, cant and illimitable uncharitableness. Take, for example, the language of Dr. Bellows, who oughi to have sense enough to appreciate the duties of his profession as he once before appeared to comprehend the value of another cailing a8 an elevating element of education and morality. Dr. Bellows, while taking bis text from the Bible, descanted, not upon the duty of man to bis Creator, but upon the elec- tions, dragged into the puipit “ the glorious news from Maine and Vermont,” speculated upon the prospects in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and concluded by a prayer to-the Almighty that He might guide the people vote the radical ticket at the coming elections. Such language. one might beg oh ge in the gatherings at street corners or bar- rooms; ‘Wut your political parson thinks that they are subjects good enough for the house of God. These rejoicings over elections past and prophetic auguries of the remit of elec- tions t© come were mixed up with the most undignified abuse of the President of the United States ond bis administration. Are there no souls at all to be saved in Dr. Bellows’ “Church of All Souls?’ Are the ways of the politicians of more importance to his congregstion than “the way, the trath and the life” which he tw supposed to lead them lo? Rev. Theodore L. Cugler, too, opened bis discourse with « prayer thet the Prosident may be led “through dark- ness which envelops the upholders of the con- stitution to the ethereal light of radicalism, with its symbols of blood and fire and s new civil war. The other political preachers were more delicate in their allusions. Dr. Tyng in- formed his audience that he had his tirade bottled up, but would open it on a future occa- sion, With such an example before them in the pulpits filled by white preachers we cannot be surprised that the poor blacks of Zion Church were entertained by their colored pastor with somewhat similar, though much more moderate and Christian language; nor that when he announced that the Saviour had died for colored as well as white sinners, one of the congregation cried out “Bully for Him,” and the whole. crowd rose to their feet, shouting, stamping and screaming. This was, no doubt, most unseemly conduct in a church, but nota whit worse than the indecorum of the white parsons who introduce politics, profanity, a spirit of uncharitableness and a firebrand of discord into their pulpit speeches. It is the goneral opinion that the business of ministers of religion is to save souls and promulgate the doctrine of charity to all men; but ministers of Dr. Bellows’ and Dr. Cheever’s and Dr. Tyng’s stamp despise all such old fashioned notions. They evidently regard the pulpit asa political rostrum, and instead of being the mouthpiece of the Gospel they have become the agents of the politicians and the Evil One. We notice with some surpriso that the clergy of the Catholic Church—an institution which always attended to its legitimate business, the cure of souls, and shunned politics alto- gether—show symptoms of meddling with that dangerous and not over clean subject down South, as between the negroes and the whites. So, at least, we judge from the recent pastoral of the Catholic bishop of Sa- vannah, encouraging the interference of the Church with the condition of the South- ern blacks, and intimating that the National Council of Bishops about to assemble next month at Balumore will take special action upon the subject. We have no other evidence that the bishops intend to travel out- side of their accustomed track go far a3 to med- dle in politics except the pastoral address of the bishop of Savannah, and we hardly think they mean to do so. The Catholic Church has maintained its influence for more than eighteen hundred years over the consciences and spiritual conduct of its followers. In this country it is remarkably prosperous and pro- gressive just now. Ithas always kept aloof from politics, and that may be one of the secrets of its success. We hope that it will not follow the oxample of the political par- sons, but will adheré religiously to its old policy of saving souls and ‘eave politics and the politicians to take care of iismeelves. Radicals North and Seuth. Our country has the misfortune at this time of being obliged to bear the infliction of two extreme parties inimical to iis intercats and aiming to attain the same object, namely, to distract if not to dissever the Union. These parties are the radicalsof the North and tho radicals of the South. The radicals of the North comprise such violent men as Sumner, Wade, Thad Stevens, Schenck, and others in Congress, with Wendell Phillips, Horace Gree ley, Rev. Drs. Bellows and Cheever, Theodore ‘Tilton, Fred Douglass and others of thoir com- plexion, as the outside shows to the regular menagerie. These Northern radicals com- menced their crusade against the South during the sittings of the Reconstruction or Destruc- tion Committee last winter in Washington. The only olive branch they had to offer the South was a firebrand, in other words, the “torch anddurpentine.” They declared for con- fiscation and destruction. To burn and de- stroy and to obliterate the Southern white race was the plan of these extreme and vindictive men. By their efforts the issues became so mixed up that it was difficult to disentangle them—to draw out from the knotted masa the thread of the real issue botween the North and the South on the subject of restoration. It thus required no little effort to view in the Congressional amendment now before the country a fitting panacea for the disorders which oppress the nation. This measure was not the offspring of the altra radi- cals, It was adopted im Congress in despite of them, and they are now the bitter opponents of a policy endorsed by a republican Congress. While the radicals of the North are thus Iaboring to obstruct the. work of restoration the radicals of the South are striving toreach the same end by means equally as violent and reprehensible. The Southern radicals may be divided inte two classes, the copperhead fire-eaters, like those represented by the Richmond Mngquirer, the Mobile, New Orioans and other journals, who want no reunion whatever with the North, and those stumping itinerants, like Brownlow, Governor Hamilton, Judge Warmouth, John Minor Botts and others, who are going about the North kindling the worst pas- sions and inciting the Northera people to renew the war and to imitate the horri- ble tragedies that crimsoned the career of the French Jacobins. This wing of the Southern radicals do not hesitate to proclaim their policy to be the utter devastation of the South, burning and rapine, and the division of the lands between the negroes and the Northern conquerors. While the rebel papers in Richmond and other Southern cities, with the exception of those in the city of Charles- ton, are more intolerant and violent than betore the war, these stumping Southern radi- cals are more inflammatory in their language than they were at any period while the war was being waged. The difficulties surrounding the question of restoration can never be amicably settled if such men as we have described have the arrangement of them. The last Congress re- jected their schemes and adopted the consti- tutional amendment. This is the real issue before the country, By it the question of Regro suffrage is left with the States, their representation in Congress to be governed accordingly. This was President Johneon’s original policy, and it is the best policy for the South that can be expected at this time, The radicals will endeavor to mystity the question; but the (rue method tor the sincere friends of @ epeedy and harmonious restora- tion of the Union to adopt is, to have ‘his question put bluntly to every candidate for Congress this fall :—“Are you in favor of the constitutional amendment!” If the answor be “ves.” vote for him: i “nav.” vote against can hold the radicals to negro suffrage or not “* at any time, just as they choose or as their interests may determine. As the case now stands it is manifestly the policy of the South to accept the constitutional amendment as it passed Congress and has been already en- dorsed by two State legislatures, They will not assuredly obtain fairor terms if the ultra radicals, North or South, should succeed im obtaining the reins of power. Rapicars on Bors Swwrs.—The Tribune isa niggerhead radical and the World is a copper- head radical. Both of them go to extremes upon every political question and thus miss the mark. The masses of the American people are too sensible not to know that what Shak- spere calls “the golden mean” is the true course for all intelligent men. The radical Tribune and the radical World play into each others’ hands to the injury of the country ; for, as the old proverb says, “ extremes meet.” . The First Ticket Day in New York. au was very generally known that the public would ‘have an opportunity of purchaaing tickets for Madame Ristori’s first three performances by applying at the office in the establishment of Messrs. Chickering & Sone yesterday morning, Bofore eight o'clock an immense crowd assembled. Captain Caffry, of the Fifteenth pre- cinet, with a posse of policemen, was obliged to koop the purchasers in order and form them {nto line. The spece- lators wore in fuj] torce, but such were the arraage- ments that they did not obtain any great number of tickets. By noon the whole of the boxes and the par- quet were sold, and nearly all of the dross circle. ‘Only admission tickets for the first night could bo ob- tained at the close of business, The sale of tickets for the second and third nights was also very brisk. Yeaterday morning Madame Ristori sat for a series of pictures, At three o'clock she was at the rehearsal of Marie Stuart and Elizabetta, The same discipline was. observed as at the first rehearsal, and occasionally the great tragédionne gave a taste of her quality, boing vory. impassioned hersel?, while she seemed desirous that those who are to assist ahould act with such power as to enable her to judge of the offects that will be produced. ‘The rohearsal lasted till five o'clock. In the evening Madame Risiori recelved numerous visitors, 0 whom she oxpressed horself as delighted with the eager man- ner in which the public had come forward to welcome hor on the stage. ‘The costume of Madamo Ristori yesterday was very plain. She wore a purple Jace hat, ising cloner, to her head, and arranged ea large braids of at the back and hoar the brow. The dress was of light brown, made plainly, but exceedingly becoming, showing off her beau- tiful dnd still youthful gure to advantage. She wore no ornaments, ‘The subscription is to be continued to-day for » few seats which have been retained for the eighteen ai and the easier: third and representations wil y ie opinion is very properly quuing ground that the enthusiasm will increase aftor the first formance, ae there is more to be admired than even the most laude. tory pens have yet announced, AMUSEMENTS, Broadway Theatre.
