The Opinion proclaims the Mexi- caa scheme “a bad business’? and insists that there shall be ‘no economizing with the wrocks of the andertaking,” but that the French soldiers shall be re- turned home at once, ‘the Christians in Candia are said to have defeated the ‘T orks in a sharp encounter, Count Bismarck is likely to make another visit to Riarritz, . The London Post, after reading Secretary Soward’s ex- position of the Monroe doctrine, as given in bis circular ou the Spanish war against Chile, expresses the opinion that the European monarchs need not have much fear of the United States in such cases, as “ihe American bark is worse than tho bite.” Our spectal correspondent in London, writing on the ‘Tit of September, treats the reform agitation in Eng- (aud as an unmistakable symptom of a coming revolu- tiou in that conntry; « struggle which will eventuate in the people taking the management of the government im their own hands. The widespread combination of the Woaians in Ireland, the terrible mortality by actual famine in India, with the late rebellion of the Jamaica wogcoes and ite consequences, are cited to prove that the change would benefit the subjects of Britain at tome aud abroad.

Govoral Santa Anna has addressed a reply to Minister Romero, in which he takes the leailers of the present republican goverament in Mexico to task for refusing his services in thoir struggle against the empire. He doctared that thoir refusal will not deter him from doing his best in belialf of his country. How he means to do this, and still preserve harmony among the defenders of the republic, as he avors himeclf anxious to do, is not stated, At all events, the document is characteristic and worthy of study in connection with his previous letter to Romero and the replies thereto, as well as his E!'zabethport manifesto and the actual atate of affairs in Mexico. Mk is also worthy the attention of our government, .

Very naturally the radical copperhead organs and the radical niggerhead organs are acting together in opposition to the conserva- tive constitutional. amendment, just as they aided and abetted each other before the war and during the war. We expected no less than this wheu we rescued the amendment from the oblivion to which it had been doomed by the radicals of both parties and placed it clearly before the conntry as a vital, positive issue. It is because these radicals so bitterly oppose it that the masses of the people are becoming every day more enthusiastic in ite favor. They remember that it was passed through Congress by conservative republican votes and in spite of the open hostility of the ultra radi- cals, like Mr. Thad Stevens, and they know that its adoption by the South now would be another great triumph dver those extremists who desire to keep the Union divided in order to further their phrtisan plans at the next Presidential election. For this reason the more the radicals on both sides say against the amendment the more the people find in it to endorse. The radical copperbead papers denounce the constitutional amendment as “a sham, a swindle and a lie,” The radical niggerhead papers treat it in the same temper and declare that “no leading republican in Congress means to admit the ten waiting States simply on the adoption of that amendment.” This is the opinion of the extremists, and everybody kvows that it is worth practically nothing. We ask the Southern States whether the oppo- sition of the radicals is not one of the strong- eat arguments to induce them to ratify the amendment at once? They have been shown that the constitutional amendmeat was adopted in Congress against the wishes of the radicals ; they bave secn that General Grant approves it ; they have been informed that the delegation from the Cleveland Convention of soldiers and sailors endorsed it in their address to the President, and they have noticed that the Pittsburg Conveution of soldiers and sailors embodied ii in their platform and forced Major General Builer to report it, in spite of his recent ill-disguised hostility to so pacific a measure. The prompt admission of Tennessee has proved to them thata State has only to ratify the amendment to be at once received into the Union. Here, then, ie a plan of immediate restoration which is sanctioned by all the true friends of the South ‘and opposed by all her enemies. Why should it not be accepted? Why do the Southern States hesitate and delay? Js it harder to bo deprived of a few representatives in Congress by denying the negroes the fran- chise than to be deprived of representation altogether? Is it more grievous to give votes to the nogroes, if that alternative be chosen, than to keep all the white men from the ballot box? Will the South accept the best attainable terms as condensed in this amendment, or will the blood aud burning policy of Parson Brownlow be preferred by Southern statesmen ? We tell the South that the conservative people of the North are a unit upon this amendment. It bas been ratified by the Legis- lature of New Jersey, which is the only State about Whose ratification there had been any foubt. In excluding leading rebels from office } and {iuover repudiating the rebel debt, it givos a just those kuafantéas (Br one {ususe pence and security that the North inexorably demands, _lis provision in regard to the apportionment of representation affects the Northern States as woll as the Southern. If we accept it, why cannot the Southt ‘The time hae nassad whan | Northern voters will sabmit to sce the negro | The Rusce-American Banquets—-Thoir E@oct counted as a man or three-fifths of a man when representatives are apportioned, but treated aa ® nonentity when the votes are taken, Ono theory or the other must be abandoned. Either the negro must not. be counted or he must vote. We should like to hoara single reasonable argument against the justice of this provision. Tho South ought to be willing to acoept it even if it wore not a condition of reunion, Under the ciroumstances it is not only a condition, but it is the best attain- able condition, If the Southern people wait for something better they will be forced to take something worse. Let them re- fuse this amendment, which leaves the ques- tion of negro suffrage with the States, and the next move of the radicals will be to force upon them unconditional negro suffrage, with the alternative of continued exclusion or perhaps the bayonet. The South was not satisfied with the Missouri “compromise The same error must not he repeated now. In case a moro radical Congress is elected this fall, the mild terms of the constitutional amendment will be superseded by more horsh conditions, and then what can the South do but submit? There can be no second rebellion, and we no longer care for the bombast and braggadacio that used to affright our politicians, But ifethe Southern States ratify this amendment their | representatives will be at once admitted to their seats in Congress and will hold the balance of power. On the one side are incalen- lable evils; on the other a palpable advantage. The enemies of the South are those who urge the rejection of (he amendment ; the genuine friends of the South urge the acceptance of tho beat attainable terms in order to a speedy reatoration. What will the South decide to do ? Her fate is in her own hands. The Appolutment of General Dix as Minister to France, General Dix is a lucky man. Office seekers, at least, will so pronounce him. The demo- cratic managers of the late Albany Convention, in flatly refusing to listen to the advantages suggested on behalf of his nomtuation as a conservative Union candidate for Governor, did a bad thing for themselves, but an excellent thing for the General. Thoy stupidly cast aside the man and the opportunity for a great success in the Empire State, and so far us he is personally interested the General ought to thank them for it. Yésterday we published the fact that he had been appointed to the de- sirable and lucrative position of Naval Officer of this port, and that in the United States Court of Judge Betis he had entered into bonds for the faithful discharge of the duties of the office. This, considering his cavalier treatment by the democratic managers of the Alhany Con- vention, was glory enough for one day ; but the same evening we received the information, positive and direct from Washington, of his sppointment aq Minister to France, in the place of Mr. Bigelow, who had ragigned. We are now qualified to say that, in order to settle the question satisfactorily as to which of these two offices he will accept, General Dix last evening left this. clty for Washingtoo, to have a personal conference with the Presittent. There is the greater distinction in the mission to France, and there are the larger financial profits of the Naval Office to be considered. But there are ‘Still higher considerations in- volved which will mont probably determine the question in favor of the acoepiance of tho French mission. General Dix, a6 a schotar, a6 a statesman of many years experience in various positions, State and federal, executive and legislative, and as an active and highly serviceable Union soldier Guring the late rebellion, is eminently qualified for the mission to France. His ac- ceptance of the appointment at this crisis in our public affairs will be especially satisface tory to the country iu view of his well known opinions touching Mexieo and ihe Monroe doc- trine, He believes, with General Grant, Gene- ral Sheridan and other distinguished Union soldiers, that the shortest and best way to set- tle the Mexican difficulty te to deal pleinty and positively with Louis Napoleon; and this is the general sentiment of the people of the United States. We think that in this imporiant view of the subject General Dix ought not to hesitate in his decision, We dare say that President Johnson is satisfied that Mr. Seward’s rose-water do-nothing policy has heen saffi- clently tried to be abandoned; that nothing short of an emphatic notice to quit will pat an end to Napoleon’s “grand idea” of a perma- nent foothold on the soil of Mexico, and that to this end General Dix has been invited to go to Paris. We also incline to the opinion that the considerations involved in this solution of the Mexican imbroglio will prevail with Gene- ral Dix in the choice from the two desirable offices to which within two days he has been appointed. The mission to the Hague, to which he was appointed and confirmed some few weeks ago, was a position which suggested his retirement from our public affairs, foreign and domestic; but the mission to France is a pro- motion in which General Dix may win the highest honors for himself, the administration and the country. Tax Crors anv tas Magxers,—From all the evidences it appears that the damage to the crops by the late floods in the West has been very general; but the amount of grain de- stroyed will not be more than the groat excess of the crop over those of former years, The grain crops of 1866 bade tair before the Inte rains to be immense in value, and in spite of the late destruction we shall have more than an average crop., Our European information states that the grain crops there have been comparatively failuces, This fact, and that of the Inte wars in Europe, will create an immense demand for our grain, and our farmers may look forward to « brisk demand and high prices, Frenca Rapicaté on AMERICAN PoLitics,— The defunct Loyal Publication Society of this gliy he ; galvanized into tempbrary ox- istence for the purpose of issuing @ lettor writ- ten by French radicals on the subject of Ameri- can politics.

The brochure takes the extreme radical view of political questions before the country at the time it was prepared, and were ii not for the fact that it bears some finger marks as ® transatlantic production, we might surmise that it was concocted in the attic of some local radical Bohemian of the Tribune school. It will no doubt be extensively circulated a4 4 radical campaign dooumeny ia Kurepe. The newly comonted alliance between Russia and the United States is troubling the Powers of Europe. Prince Gortschakoff’s declaration that the entente cordiale waa not to be regarded asa menace, coupled with his insignificant remarks at the banquet givea by the nobles to Mr. Fox. in St. Petersburg, reported in our columns to-day, has set them all thinking that it is to beso looked upon. Accordingly they are trying to make light of it and to pare down ile importance. The Landon Zines, with pon- derous jocularity, talks about “Hail Columbia ingoribed in letters of fire on a témple of glory,” and the Paria Zemps, following suit, speaks of the manifestations of friondship exctanged be- tween Mr. Fox and his Russian entertainers as “jhe transports of a violent passion during the early days of the honeymoon.” But while thoy thus affect to laugh there is much anxiety behind their levity. Prince Napoleon’s Opinion Nationale discusses the question whether this alliance embraces the idea of interference in the affairs of the European continent, and comes, on the whole, to the comfortable conclu- sion that it doés not. It would be a very awk- ward thing for thowe people whoconceru them- selves about maintaining the balance of power if it did. Russia and America would be two pretty big weights to throw into the same scale, and would be very likely not only to send up ail the other little princes, potentates and Powers, but also to throw the weighing machine con- siderably out of gear. Fortanately for all cou- corned, it is not our policy, nor is it the habit of Rassia io interfere perpetually in the internal affairs of Europe. Russian influence is fol just as American influence is (lt, but Russian inter- favence is very seldom exerted. We have nothing to gain by We do not want terri- tory. Our horders keep widening by that mysterious law which natural philosophers would call the attraction of affinity, and our power is constanily increasing ; but we do not want territory for its own sake. Weeach have too vast a country and resources too immense to covet greatly the poasessions of other Powers, and we have both loo much to do in managing our own enormous business to take upon ourselves the task of looking ailer the affvira of everybody else. Ruasia and the United States stand the Colossi of the Kast and West, Secure in themselves, self nt and independent, neither of them seeks to control the polities of Europe. The game would not pay tor the candle, But thongh our European friends may calm their fears of a direct intervention in their affairs on the part of either Russia or tie United States, there is a light in which the Russo-American alliance is a formidable thing for them. The Paris Temps holdly states it as follows:— ‘The two countries whieb bave now formed an alliances have had reuson at the se! 2d pean diploma which unites them is the coincidence of their hatred such a diplomacy. ‘This aliiance is not a direct it has not yet entered so deeply into the inner senti- ments of the two peoples as the orators of Moscow ave made it 5 bul wie a warning of which we should We are So much attached to the ftotions of end the banquets of Moscow warn us terrible changes of power ana inilrence amury tule place tn the wield. ‘Those changes are not tex off. Our war and the immense development it gave to our mili- tary resources has placed ue foremost among the Powers of the world, With a slower growth the Russian empire is also gaining in siwengih and solidity.

A fleet of American built iron-cladé at New Archangel, with some of those improved gans we are now making on board, would contest the Fast Indian, China and Pacitic trade and place British and French commerce at the mercy of Russia and the United States and render us the arbiters of the world. No wonder that the growth of Russien power is-watchod with unconcealed anxiety in Europe, and that a proposition of the United States to bay a small naval station in the Haat has called forth vigorous protests from both England and France, CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.

A sense of the proprieties of life ohtiis their enthusiasm, seem as though they did oot always know when i \ proper to applaud, oF respectable to preserve a rigid ia? difference, We notice these generalities now ony te observe how little of them were visible in the audience of tast aight. The applause bestowed upon Ristor! was gonial, frequent, welt dispensed aud far more wares (than that which greeted heron any night in New York, Tho Brooklyn people aspired to au opera house, and they got one, remarkable for its beauty, comfort and good acoustic properties. But when it was completed the Over-sensitive portion of (he city of churches, hesitated between its disposition as a goodly theatre or # godly preaching house, endeavored to clip the wings of the {ofty muses, and exciude overything from the atago oxcept the most astraight-lace¢ moral drama, autor! which of course was a failure; aud had not the genius of art overcome the spirit of cant, with the ald of the good sense of the majority, we would never have seen Ristori on the hourds of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, But there sho was last night impersonating a human demon with the powers of & superhuman artiste. And there waa &° Brook- lyn audience fairly redeemed and disenthrailed (rom Prejudice, recognizing art in ite highost form, thougts picturing the worst and most terrible passions of bu- manity. From scene to scene, ax the character of Modem was developed in its hideousness and intensity, softened now and then by those matornal instincts which neither evil passion nor the influence of tae tacensed gods could subdue, Ristori wrought up the euthusiasm of her aude ence and held them in the bonds of intense and absorb- ing interest. She was recalied after enoh act and re- ceived a :nost unequivocal outburst of approbation, The opportunities afforded the whole company to render the drama with spirit on the fine ataga of the Academy were in strong contrast to the restrictions undor which they labored at the Thoatre Fraugais. The improvement im tho scensry, too, was most marked, We observe that Mary Stuart is announced for ‘Tuesday evening in Brook- lyn, a fact upon which we congratulate the citizens of thatsaburb, There isa feast in store for them whic thoy cannot realize by anticipation, Iistori's Qnoon of Scots is unquestionably the grandest pises of acting ta this ago. AMUSEMENTS. Me. Bogumil Dawison as Shylock. Mr. Dawison appeared last night tor the Courth time in America in the great character of Shylock, in the Merchant of Venice. It would be diffeult to fod « more Atting representative of tho Christian-hating, mer- ciless, revengeful Jew. From the first dialogue witht Bussanio—“three thousand ducats for three montha’— until, baffled and tottering with emotion, he leaves the court, murmuring in broken acceuts, ‘I pray you, give me leave to go from hence,’’ tie looked, acted and spoke the grasping, hoertiogs usurer, The cringing meoknes® with which ho groeied Antonio; tho fiendish calculation of the bond; the half suppressed rage and venom that accompanied his rojation of Antonio's indignitics towards himsetf, the implacable hatred of Christians shown in his parting words to his daughter, the outburst of indignation that followed ie railleries of Solanio and Salarnio on tuo flight of Jessica, the waking of the domon of revenge in lis breast when Tubal ac- } quainte him ‘with tho misfortune of his Gonded debtor, the eager and devilish joy with which he hailed the pre- limieary exposition of the law by Portia, and the vorri- bie reaction when he hears the wornts “This bond dots give thee here no jot of blood'--ail were the very im- personification of dramatic goniaa. Ag lo the dress and appearance of Shylock, there is « tendency in many otherwise good actors (to tmeke the Jew a grovelling specimen of his f.ee, Shy- lock is a representative of the wealthy cles, aad although a grasping usurer and miser to some extent, atiithe should exhibit in person something above the mean vordor of dilapidated clothing that others would make bim. Mr. Dawison, without detracting from the conception of the great autnor, appeared as a weil to de descendant of the ten tribes in Veuice. There was is «ome ‘a little too much stateliness of man- ner as henasalanetie the goueral idea of the but it goon subsided into the crafty, revengeful rey who would bave his pound of flesh even if ov ducat in ten thousand ducats offered him were in six parts, and every part « duoat, The and passion wiih which he receive bal the news of the loss of the mercha@t’s argo- gies was terrible. Tho words “(thank God! I thaak God!” were given with electrical efect, each word four score dacats at a sitting in Genoa, and @ ring for ® monkey—ho winced as if onthe rack. There was little or no parental love shown by him, for he made r. thing subservient to the one ruling ides, rev to landation of Portia, “A Daniel come ' LS a rape — ——— ery oligh oo! seme i» is eyes and lighted vp his withered ‘countenance as he whetted the knife on his sole and looked hungrily towards the spot where his expectant yet defiant Fretion stood. Broken down with the unexpected disappointment of his bopes of revenge, he tottered feebly Trove the hall of justice, every movement and look speaking the feel- ings tbat convulsed him. The outhusissm of the aa- dience at the close of each scone in which he appeared was even greater than on any of the ae eee te of his 01 t. The value of the appiaase which he rece was the greater when the character of the rest of the cast is taken iuto consideration. A worse support could scarcely be given in @ third rate country theatre, It is the -more airango a@ many of the sors Bt ing him acquitted themselves creditably on previous occasions, ‘Tuere was one honorable exception to the general oority of the cast: Mr, Fritve made cn excelient and ae ont horny beaches Miss Rhode was ev mer More wninteresting in Portia thas she was in Amalia, in the Robbers.

The son Lanncelot, Mr. Reifforth, waa dressed like Handy Andy or Shaun o' the Post, and made melancholy atte at witticisms. We don’t wonder that Shylock war giad to tranater him to Bagsanio, who was not, to judge from his acting, deserving of winu'ng a rich heiress, He waa vory pearly ing her as it was, for he opened the wrong casket at first, The reat of the characters — bd rame Kes ress iow those ladien and gentiomen vi some talents ip Narelsse and = the ‘ovbers, aud — thy oseek certainly be capable of # lishing more t whee they did last ni; The example of such a great artist it to inspire them and rouse t Careft atdy of the. oh ia. whic sy careful sti the characters in are him, Mr. Da nent oy 4 posed to support will be in Dr. Gutzkow's comedy, on Saturday next. te as he undoubtedly is in of Ristori and bim we m raised from ita previous dinm for convey: hrighost thoughts ¢ Thalia Thoatr There was & larger atteudance a thie theatre leet evening than there has been for several weeks; but it is @ remarkable fact that although the Stadt theatre ia nual y full when Dawivon appears, the attendance af the Thalia is best on those eveniags.
