Recent events, North and South, have won- derfully contributed to strengthen the repub- | lican party on the platform adopted by Con- gress for the reconstruction and restoration of the lately rebellious States. The Memphis riots, the New Orleans massacre, and other scenes of a similar character in different places South, have made a deep impression on the Northern public mind, prejudicial to the confidence policy of restoration. The Phila- delphia August Convention has signally failed in its efforts to organize a new national party, from a fusion of the conservative republicans with the treacherous Northern democracy. The Maine election has shown that the new distribution of Executive patronage under taken at Washington comes too late; and if any doubts still remained that the plan of Congress as against the President’s plan of restoration will sweep the North, from New York to San Francisco, those doubts have been removed by the unfortunate incidents by the way of Mr. Johnson’s late unfortunate pilgrim- age to the tomb of a Western trading poli- tician. Thus the issue between the President and Congress has taken a shape which has strength- ened the republican party on the policy of Congress beyond the largest expectations entertained by its leaders six weeks ago, and has correspondingly weakened the chosen policy of the administration. From Pennsyl- vania westward “the Boys in Blue” replace in 1866 the scenes and gatherings of “ the Wide Awakes” of 1860. The enthusiasm, the num- bers and the spirit of the republican mass meetings, and the still increasing popu- larity of this constitutional amendment before the States, too clearly mark the drift of public opinion to leave a doubt as to the general results of the coming elections. This amendment of the constitution passed by Congress will be ratified by the North, and the Congress inter- ested will be endorsed in a re-election sub- stantially on this broad and acceptable plat- form of “ securities for the future.” Representation in Congress on the basis of suffrage, ag each State may choose for itself; the inviolable obligations of the national debt, the irrepealable repudiation of al! rebel debts and all claims for emancipated slaves; and the exclusion from federal offices hereafter of certain classes of active rebels, until absolved by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress, are the conditions of Southern restoration which will surely be exacted by the North in the approaching elections. And why should the South hesitate in accepting these terms, when in substance they are nothing more than the puiting of the President’s terms into the form of a binding contract or treaty of peace, with a government stamp upon it which cannot be called in question? Why hesitate, when nothing is to be gained, but when much that may be now secured by the South will be put in jeopardy by delay? Why did the Executive require of the lately insurgent States the ratification of the constitu- tional amendment abolishing slavery as an in. dispensable condition of restoration? Becanse, if admitted to their former relations in the government in advance, those States, it was feared, might refuse the ratifi- cation, and might at any time, each State for itself, under the constitution as it was, revive the institution of slavery. The masses of the Northern States entertain the same idea in regard to the national debt, all rebel debte, and all claims for liberated slaves. Hence the resistiess pressure of this paramount idea of a bond in advance, which cannot be hereafter set aside or repealed by a Southern balance of power in Congress. The North says to the South, after fighting for four terrible years as no people ever fought before to destroy their government, after sacri- ficing as you have done in this war a quarter of a million of able-bodied white men, and black slaves as property to the value of twenty-five hundred millions of dollars, and other property and crops and capital to the extent of five or six thousand millions, all gone beyond redemp- tion, we must have a bond in advance before we can trust onr debts and obligations to the chances of a Southern balance of power in Congress. We must have our conditions of security in advance; for we cannot place into your hands the power to reject them. This is a practical view of the matter, which every man of business will readily comprehend, and herein lies the secret of the astonishing popular strength of this regtoration plan of Congress in the Norjh No man who has a fifty dollar overnfnent bond salted down would trust its redemption to the chances of the casting vote in Congress of a Southerner who has lost his thousands in Confederate scrip. We must repeat, then, to the Southern States our earnest admonition that the terms of this constitutional amendment are the best they can obtain; that their true policy is to get back into Congress as fast as possible on the credentials of this amendment, which will bring them in; and that if they permit this golden opportunity to slip away they will ron the hazard of sweeping penalties against treason and traitors, and of univorsal negro suffrage by compulsion, Thi¢ consiitntional amend- ment, in 9 Word, a8 tie witimaium of the North, is the only way of safuty to the South, ‘The Pope of Rome and the Grand Counoll at Baltimore. AGrand Council of the Roman Catholic Church will meet at Baltimore on the first Sun- day in October. This event is of great interest to the whole religious world, and in order to afford our readers all possible information in regard to it we publish to-day an admirably compiled historical sketch of all the previous councils that have been held upon this con- tinent. Our article gives, in a condensed form, a number of facts that will be very uso- ful to the church dignitaries who assemble next Sunday, and we therefore recommend it especially to their notige, of the chief topics which the Grand Council ought to consider is the temporal future of the Pope of Rome. His spiritual future is, of course, safe enough, and if he would only confine his attention to that the world would have no difficulty in determining what to do with him. His most devoted adherents, however, must by this time fully re- alize the impossibility of his remaining at Rome asa temporal prince. For many years his throne has been supported only by French bayonets, and they are now tobe withdrawn. Austria can afford him no protection, for she has recently proved unable to protect herself. Italy is now backed in all her demands by the powerful voice of Protes- tant Prussia, and even Napoleon would not dare, even if he desired, to oppose an alliance 80 formidable. Asa sovereign the Pope has made his rule so obnoxious to his own subjects that, in spite of the religious veneration for his office, he cannot live among them unless guarded by foreign mercenaries. Such a state of affairs at Rome is a blot upon the nineteenth century which must be wiped away. His HHoli- ness must restore Rome to the Italians, and restrict his sovereignty to his own special, spiritual sphere, where he will find every Roman Catholic willing to recognize his author- ity and obey his commands, The dignitaries who are to assemble at Bal- timore should rise to the height of the reli- gious situation and firmly represent these facts to the Pope. He needs just such earnest, hon- est, disinterested and unprejudiced advisers as they are; for he is now surrounded by syco- phants and by those who are living upon his temporal revenues and whose interest it is to mislead him. A strong remonstrance from America would have a decisive effect, particu- larly at this very juncture, when his Holiness is looking to America for funds to support his establishment. Our people have shown that, liberal as they are, they will not give money to sustain the Pope’s temporal kingdom, although they are willing to donate millions for the spread of the Gospel. All Europe must be in the same mind, or else his Holiness would not be sending across the Atlantic to borrow a few millions. Ireland is too busy with John Bright and republicanism to care where the Pope resides, so long as he is well provided for. The Mexicans have almost for gotten their religion in the struggle between Juarez and Maximilian. Canada is the only part of the world where contributions to the Pope’s loan are being made with any spirit; but the Canadians can do little unassisted and need all their pence to guard against the Fenians. Since Jobn Bright has been chosen Head Centre of the Stephens’ wing and Santa Anna Head Centre of the Roberts’ wing, how- ever, the Fenian fever may die out and the Canadians be relieved. But even then they could not support the Pope at Rome, and the only sensible course left for him is to come over here and settle in New York. We will guaran- tee him an elegant palace and a fino income, and the new cathedral on Fifth avenue shall be completed for his St. Peter’s. Let the Grand Council send him an earnest invitation, backed by the arguments at which we have hinted, and there is but little doubt that he will gladly accept. At any rate this Council will surpass all its predecessors by such a bold, practical and original measure. Tar True axp Farse wy Dramatic Repre- SENTATION.—Until within a period of a few years theatrical management in France was in the hands of the government. Theatres had | to be licensed, and a et supervision was | exercised over them. This system worked very well for the managers, because those who were fortunate enough to obtain a license enjoyed a monopoly by which they were ena- bled to use the actors for their own profit. But it worked very badly for the poor actors, insomuch as it made them to a great extent the mere slaves of a set of avaricious task- masters, under whose despotism genius of the highest order was bought and sold at « miser- able rate of compensation. It was a grievance for the public also, because they had to submit to the infliction of whatever class of actors the managers chose to impose upon them. About two years ago Napoleon, secing the evil effects of this system, removed all restrictions upon the theatres throughout all the empire, leaving managers and actors free to make contracts and perform when and where they pleased. Perfect liberty has been enjoyed since then in the pursuit of the theatrical profession. It happened that just at this same time an association of managerg wos formed in this city for the purpose of 4etab- lishing a despotism in the theatriog) Dusiness, with a view to control the price of labor among the poor musicians and actors. Under the old system in France actors or actresses were hard set to fip’d employment, no matter what their talent might be, because they were restricted to ‘the licensed theatres, and the managers of these establishments alone had hapgains with them. What the law in this tountry did not establish the Managers’ Asso- ciation sought to accomplish. The managers, acting in concert, would not permit the em- ployés of any theatre connected with the “asso- ciation” to better their condition by acoepting employment in another house at an tncreased salary, and thus they exercised absolute con- trol over the actors and musicians, and could command their services at the price the man- agers chose to affix to them. What meener motives than theso? This attempt to reduce the value of labor In the theatrical profession was resisted by soveral of the managers, who refused to join the coalition, and they have been the gainers singe their Lonest repy2iation of this odious monopoly by the increased patronage which their establishments have en- Joyed. The associated managers endeavored to obstruct the progress of the legitimate drama in every way, and they have succeeded, as far as their own theatres are concerned, in exclud- ing oven Shakspere from their boards. No aclor represeniipg ihe great apostle of the drama can get an engagement in the theatres controlled by the associated managers. Their Objeot seems to be to demoralize public taste by substituting trashy, and not unfrequently immoral, representations for the higher class of dramas. Therefore it is that we find Ristori playing to the cream of society in the French theatre, and the German tragedian, Dawison, at the Stadt theatre, and Hackett, a recognized representative of Shakspere, giving us his in- comparable and always welcome impersona- tions of Falstaff at the comfortable little Broad- way theatre, where the Keans received so many ovations from the New York public—not one of which establishments is connected with the “Managers’ Association.” Thus also we observe that when one of the managers of the Broadway takes an actor from one of the “com- bination” theatres or the Bowery and exhibits him in Brooklyn there is a fiasco, although the efforts of the same manager were eminently successful at Mr. Wood’s theatre, The infer- ence from all these facts is that an intelligent public like ours know full well where real merit is to be found, and that they are not dis- posed to patronize those houses where only second or third rate talent is employed while the perfection of art can be realized elsewhere. The Mexican Muddle, The Mexican correspondence which we published yesterday shows conclusively that affairs in that region are fast approaching a crisis. Maximilian’s empire is crumbling so rapidly that his stay there must be of short duration. In fact it seems that the great ques- tion now is who is to govern the country when he takes his departure. The different factions are at work, and the intrigues between the chiefs of each remind us of the former events in that country. The generals are quarrelling with each other about who shall be recognized as President of the republic. The vicinity of Monterey is especially agitated over this question. General Ortega is now on the Rio Grande, pressing his claim for the Presidency on the ground that he is the only constitutional and legal official of the government. Juarez, in the meantime, prompted by his prime min- ister, holds on to the office with great perti- nacity, and is removing generals and issuing proclamations against all of those officers who are suspected with favoring Ortega. But in the face of all this the latter appears to be mak- ing considerable headway, and his adherents are daily increasing in numbers and becom- ing more powerful. The whole district of Nueva Leon, it is sald, will soon pronounce in favor of Ortega. This will give that claimant a foothold that will produce a marked effect upon the contest between the factions, and will soon decide whether the people of that coun- try are desirous of recognizing the constitu- tional President or are determined to adhere to Juarez. While all this is going on among the liberal factions the French troops are making prepara- tions for another battle, as if they did not in- tend to leave,.as arranged and announced a few months since by Napoleon. We are also furnished in our European advices with the details of a financial convention between Maximilian and the Emperor of the French, in which the latter is to take charge of the custom houses of Mexico and to collect the duties through agents placed under the pro- tection of the French flag. The time that these agents are to remain there is to be de- termined by Napoleon. All this looks as though the French Emperor were preparing the way, not to withdraw his troops, as hereto- fore announced, but to prolong their stay until he reimburses himself out of the duties collected at the principal ports. A! this the toadying policy of Secretary Seward mate- rially assists,and enables Napoleon to calcu- late with a certainty upon the extent which he can go in his treatment of Mexico. But the appointment of General Dix as Minister to France will now convince Napoleon that the President is determined to turn over a new leaf in bis Mexican poliey, and that he can no longer rely upon the assistance of Seward to get him out of his entanglements and ruin- ous speculations in that quarter. The affairs in the interior of the country are, in the meantime, in a sadly confused state. Anarchy and ruin prevail everywhere, com- merce is obstructed, and the business of the country either prostrated or else sanbjected to risks and hazards which deter even the most venturesome from engaging in mercantile and other pursuits. This cannot long continue. If the people have any spirit lefi they will soon shake off this load, risein their might and relieve themselves of the incu- bus waich is now destroying the life of the nation. A few weeks must, in the very natw™ of things, reveal exciting times in that tor;ntry; for between the struggle to get 139 of Maxi- milian and the French, and the ®ntest for the supremacy between the Jp%rez and Ortega factions, a crisis must. foon be reached that will be decisive €q % the fate of Mexico. ‘The governors of thp States have all, throughout the strugglewith the empire, kept up @ war- fare in, %ehalf of the republic on their own respGneibility. They have maintained their pos ions unaided, even while Juavez has been travelling around trying to escape capture, It is this action of the governors that has given the guerilla character to the warfare. If it be true, as now asserted, that the governors of the several Siates are about to proclaim in favor of Or then we may soon expect to see a concentration of forces under his lead that will soon obtain supremacy in that coun- try and put an end both to the empire and the wrangles of the factions. This just now is the drift of events. Time alone can tell how far it will be successful. Avericay Ampassapors Anroan.—We pnb- lish elsewhere a note from our late Minister in Switzerland, Mr. Theodore S. Fay, in which that gentleman expresses his doubts about the accuracy of the reports relative to the unpopu- larity among Americans of our Minister at Vienna, Mr. Motley. We have ne authority at hand to confirm these reports, and therefore accept Mr. Fay’s defence of Mr. Motley as justi- fiable and exculpatory. But even merely touching upon the subject of American am- bassadors abroad suggests a text for the con- sideration of our people Asa general thing the of our government in foreign do not carry with them a proper idea of the dignity that should be attached to such important positions.

The toadying policy has marked the oareer of the present administration to a sufficient extent already. It is time it were checked or peremptorily stopped. No minis- ter to a foreign court should be allowed to retain his place if found incompetent or swerv- ing from his plain duty towards the govern: ment and the American people. We want conscientious, high-toned and educated gentle- men to represent us abroad, such as we have in Major General Dix, who has been tendered the mission to France. We have no doubt our Minister at Vienna will in due time personally explain away the unpleasant reports respecting his conduct as our official representative at the Court of the Hapsburgs. Rar Increase IN THS PoPULATION OF THE Unrrep Srares.—Returns lately sent in to the Census Office give us an interesting glimpse into the growing prosperity of the country, It Would seem from these returns that, notwith- standing the terrible ravages of our late war, the population of the United States has been and is increasing at the rate of a million a year. The Western and Northwestern States are mainly absorbing this added population; but after the South has accepted the constitu- tional amendment and re-entered Congress a strong tide of emigration will set in southward. Colonies of Scandinavians are already leading the way. The climate of many of the the Southern States is prefer- able to that of the Northwest, and in the variety of their products and the fertility of their soil the Southern States have great additional ad- vantages. Emancipation opens the way for immense changes ;and developments in the South. The Old World system of agriculture which slavery perpetuated must disappear. Agricultural machinery and white labor will gradually supplant, in fact is gradually sup- planting, the uncertain hand labor of the negro. The effect of such a change will be to multiply almost indefinitely the producing power of the country. There is a grand future before the South if she does but recognize her true in- terests,and a grand future before the country at large. Our population to-day is probably not less than thirty-five millions. In 1870, when the next government census is taken, it will probably exceed forty millions.

During the pres- ent week the other cholera hospital, located in the City Park will be taken down. It is now closed against the admission of new patients.

Panis, Sept, 14, 1866. Prussians, short petticoats, long trains and shooting parties have necessarily been the topics of conversation this week. The Prussians had it all to themselves till the new fall styles made their appearance, and if carie- atures could have exterminated Mr. de Bismarck, he would as gurely now be “done for’’ as he has fairly “done” & party I could meution, but will not, it being forbidden to talk politics. However, I may, in a feminine way, say that caricatures will not undo what he did very neatly with his needle guns, and that although the lat- tor have quite gone out, they have left an epidomic stitcl, on this sido of the Rhine which will not be eased untif one or two pills have been administered hence with thas power of persuasion so peculiar to Dr. Armstrong. But, leaving the faculty to settle that question, I must give yonr readers an account of the shooting and sporting costumes as i viewed them few days ago in the fields and ccna round one of the most hospital chatesus ta Fraa®®, and which will til! cue sid of October be the rendezvous 6f All those who are, or who pretend to be, capable of shooting ‘‘a bit.”’ This pretension is also em- tertained by ladies, who, in these days of female eman- ) cipation, consider that the right they have acquired to wear jerkins and top voots entitles them just as well to “gbouldor arms,” “fire arms,’ &c. Some of the coe tumes ordered for the occasion [ allude to were so very curious that, had [ been arabbit, I should have forgotten to run away in the enjoyment,of a mental survey of the wearers thereof. I thought, as I looked at the whole party assemble before starting, on the terrace which runs round the chateau, that the game stood less chance of # doadly shot than the friendly guests themselves, who did not seem to stand in mines Gs rs each other's weapons. Some of the grandsons of im) ing substantial cloth and gaiters, bad too m velvet and the Mousquetaire le about them, Others, despising aught but the logen- dary brown "Holland suit, looked killing, fierce and murderous, and were provided with bags, perhaps not big enough to contain a sult but certainly too spacious for all the winged and ground game they could kill. Their mustaches were twirled into long, stiff spikes; their nostrils expanded, and altogether they looked more blood-thirsty and snuffed much more air than the high- bred pointers straining in leash behind them. These ferocious instincts were more subdued among the ladios, whose sex, a8 we have all been taught, is gentle. They paced up and down in tiny-footed high boots, and the favorite colors of their attire were russet brown, emeraid green and ruby. Two of these shooting costumes, worm by very illustrious dames, deserve special record. The emerald green was composed of a satin jerkin, out out in five square wines round the waist. It was close fitting, and fastened down the front with round gilt Aligres buttons. The over skirt was made of velvet, cut in battlement squares, on an underskirt of emerald satin to match the jerxin. The boots, gloves, gauntlets and belt were fawn colored. A small velvet cap and ostrich feather, fas- toned with a gilt fox, was jauntily placed on one side of tho head, the chignon was confined in a gold thread net. The ruby colored costume I caunot better deycribe than by calling it a “garde Francaise,” It was come posed of a velvet skirt and velvet jacket, with ruby satim facings called ‘revers’’ on the front and back basques. Chamois leather boots, gloves and belt, a Highland vel- vet cap, in which stuck ono pheasant feather, the costume. Most of the merry party thought thas the best part of it was certainiy the ‘getting up’? process; but lookers on with a taste for the ludicrous moss en- Jjoyed the field of action, when one of the fair sporte- ‘women actually came across a bare. She took her ti deceived by the calm composure with whiok the nimbie- footed quadruped sat on its hind insulgingly brusb- ing its whiskers. When at last the preliminaries had been gone through, the lock of the = clicked, the Indy closed her eyes and fired upwards!

Ten of them met thus under a wide-sprading cedar within view of the park. they examined each other, shook out their skirts, re- adjusted their caps, and set up a simultaneous burst of — laughter. . very pretty ‘chatolaine, in Magyar boots and white Astrakan facings on light gray, was the first to sit down and to assumo the right of 5; “Ladies, we are cowards; we should all die of hunger if we were sea- tenced to live on what we kill; but wecan never go to the chateau and be laughed at by those of our sex who would blush to be seen in an innocent garde Fy id Unanimous assent greeted this short speech. ‘I pre- pose," continued the chatelaine, ‘‘that we should not return till we are joined by our lords; for, as a better an than we are, William Tell, observed in the y, “through this narrow passage must they come." “But what shall we do?’ asked the prettiest little Diana possible, in porcelain blue, taffeta petticoat and blue cashmere overakirt, with a good many more white chenille arrows worked over it than she would ever want to look killing “Let us talk about the fasbiona,”’ cried at least six. At this all sat down in a circle. “Who begins ?’’ asked a Wonde in black corded silk, faced with crimson.
