Nineteen yen in Nashville Russia andthe (nited Mates—The Speech of “ » Prince Gortachakon, Prince Gortschakoif, the great representative statesman of Russia, made a remarkable speech recently ata banquet given to the American officials and navy officers at the English Club in St. Petersbarg, the text of which is furnished by our special correspond- ent in our columns to-day. ‘It ‘embodies an enthusiastic endorsement of the enlente cordiale existing between the United States ‘and Russia from the highest source next to the Emperor in the Russian dominions, and adds consider- able weight to the sentiments of friendsbip and the assurances of sympathy which emanated from so many official, commercial and other bodies at all the leading points of the empire since the arrival of the American fleet. The universality of these feelings, as exhibited by ‘wll classes in Russia upon every public occa- sion is referred to by Gortschakoff as evidence of the genuine sympathy with the interests of this country which pervades the entire vast empire of the Czar, and he significantly took occasion at this farewell banquet to place the seal of his official approbation upon public sentiment in the most emphatic terms. The affiliation of Russia with the United States in the policy of emancipation receives an intelligent recognition in the atatesman- like mind of Prince Gortschakotf—a policy in which those who made sacrifices for it in both countries acquiesced; nor does he lose. sighi of the comparative freedom from dangerous com- plications in Burope with which both coun- tries are blessed. It is trne, he says, that Russia may more easily be drawn into European diffi- culties than America, but she is competent to maintain her dignity, not from her territorial extent, nor the namber of her population, but from the bond which unites the sovereign and the people in the consciousness of a common destiny. He looks beyond the ordinary diplo- matic influences for the existence of the enlente cordiale. It does not owe its origin to prox- imity, because the ocean rolls between the two nations, nor to parchment documents, for none exist in the administration over which he presides, It is providential, spontaneous and reciprocal; the result of the progress of events which have directed the growth of two great countries having many interests in com- mon and enjoying « happy release from foreign entangling alliances. It is true that this “spon- tancous” alliance is not a menace nor a peril to any one, as Prince Gortschakoff pointedly remarked; but nevertheless we observe the Eng- lish press exhibiting some uneasiness, tinder the cover of asnecr, at the hearty ovations which the American visitors received in St. Petersburg, Moscow and all through the coun- try. ‘The earnestness with which the people of Russia, as weil as the nobility, public bodies and official personages expressed their sym- pathy with the United States and their good wishes for the permanent restoration of the Union to its former power and prosperity, has excited no little attention all over Kurope. Napoleon, in his late circular to the fore representatives of the French government, alludes to it In these worde:— their generous efforts on if of races, it in ie with a wise it in reapect of the fu. are, the nations of Central ehould not remain parcelled gut into so many different States, without strength and without public spirit. Here he points to the importance of concen- trating « balancing power in Burope against the friendly combination of Russia and Amorice. We foresce that the ¢nlente cordiale between the two nations is destined to grow stronger and stronger every day. A community of tn- terea‘s, a singular historical resemblance in recent events. and the indenandent oosilioa NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1866.—TRI occupied by both countries with regard to | ified success and as auguring well for cle- their foreign relations, as well as their vast ‘erritory and growing population, are the natural bouds which unite them in the mission of civilization. Untrammetled by the intrica- cles inseparable from dynastic quarrels or ter- ritovial extension which harass the nations of Earope, Russia and America can exercise an influence upon the progress of the human race which is deaied to lesser Powers, no matter how ancient their history or chivalric their descent. In this practical age, when the prin- ciples of common sense sometimes outwit the trickery of diplomacy; when the solid growth of'setence, applied to telegraphs and railroads, leaves speculative philosophy in the rear; when new ideas of the privileges as well as the wants of men prevail, and overshadow the effete doctrines of medieval nations, it can- not be a matter of surprise to recognize in the United States and Russia the colossi of the world, spanning two oceans. Revival of Encing im America—Decline in Trotting and Its Causes. The second and third days of the firsé an- nual meeting of the American Jockey Club have passed. They have equalled in brilliancy, good order and decorum the opening day and have been stamped with the seal of public ap- probation, Thus is triumphantly inaugurated a revival in the passion for a high order of horse racing that has not existed in the United States for a quarter of a century, It is so with almost every enterprise involving amuse- ment aad recreation engaged in by American gentlemen of respectability and opulence. It was so when the late and much respected Commodore Stevens lai the foundation of the present New York Yacht Club, which grad- ually grew up from a single litile yacht of a few tons to the unrivalled squadron of first class vessels it now presents. This success of yachting ia America is in a great measure owing to the personal reputation of those gen- tlemen who auited with the firs: Commodore of the New York squadron in nurturing the undertaking in its infancy. Thirty years ago horse racing was a popular amusement among the most distinguished fami- lies in America, The most vivid seenes in the American novels of those days were those descriptive of the excitement at horse races. What, for instance, would a novel based on I in Virginia at that period have beea without its chapters founded upon the thrilling scenes of the race- course, where distinguished statesmen, the high dames and dazzling maidens of the Old Dominion mingled in the exhilarating amuse- mont of the hour? The same may be said of Kentucky and South Carolina, in the South, at the period we refer to; and then, coming North, we find the -blood of our veteran turf men tingle anew at the recollections of that ex- citing period when the North and the South were for whe first time pitted against each other in the world-renowned contest between Eclipse and Henry. Several other trials, testing the swifiness and endurance of Northern ‘and Southern bred racers, have since occurred here—particularly the famous one between Fashion and Bosion—but none ever produced the intense and universal exciiement aroused by that. between Eclipse and Henry. At that period the best families in New York exhibited a lively interest in racing. The Livingstons, Hamiltons, Roosevelts, Stuyvesants,, Quacken- bosses and all the heads and scions of the old Knickerbocker houses, were prominent in their personal efforts to make the sport at once healthful, respectable and elevating. Gradu- ally, however, the umusement fell into careless hands. Innovations were allowed to creep in in the shave of gambling, drunkenness, quar- relling and fighting. To “throw” a race became as common as to throw dice. The era of trotting horses then came in, flourished as a creditable pastime for a while, but like racing, the interest in it by respectable people fel! off, until, with a few honorable and notable excep- tions, it has become an amusement principally indulged in by betting men and professional gamblers, and the coutses are,so frequently overwhelmed by rowdies, pickpockets and other chatacters of a low class, that it is dangerous for honest people to visit them. Evidences of the immoral and criminal tendency of some of these modern horse trots we have lately seen in the atrocions murder of a prominent owner and trainer in Chicago; and again, quite recently, in the assassination of a well pnd favorably known trainer at our own di treville, L. 1. No calling or pursnit can maintain itself or he supported by decent le if these outrages are allowed to oceur ; unless there be a radical reform ia the management of trotting courses, and vile and notoriously dishonest and disreputable persons are prohibited from occupying respon- sible positions in them, we fear the days of trotting in America aga popular amusement are numbered. How vastly different is the management of the grounds of the American Jockey Club! Here not the slightest disorder has thus far been je; but everything has been con- ducted gpon a style so clegant and refined that a gentleman need no more fear insult in taking & lady to enjoy the excitement of a nobly race than he would in taking her to new French theatre to see the peer- less Ristori. In this respect the Jerome Park throws tompletply in the shade the manage- ment of English racing grounds. There it is no uncommon thing for visitors to be beset by gypsies and other vagabonds and to encounter discomfort and annoyance from a class of peo- ple who would ‘not be tolerated upon the new and admitable fourse of the American Jockey Club. Therefote the highly respectable gen- tlemen who have the present control of the Park at Fordham may congratulate them- selves upon hating established a racing insti- tution in At that can be accepted with infinite advan' asa model by any of the most jockey clubs in Europe. Mueh of the| good order maintained at the Jerome Park isno doubt attributable to the efficiency of the police, as well as to the judg- rs or stewards of the club. ‘er, the police could not have jient at some of the trotting of rowdyism, gambling and highway rébbery bave occurred that have culminated in recent cruel assassinations. But we are to acknowledge their agency in doing good and maintaining order anywhore, and|in that spirit hope they will continue to signalize their eMfciency in other fields than thatjof the Park at Fordham. racine in Amedea to be hailed os an aa rat In all reapotta, therefore, is the revival o \ vating the tone and character of the turf sports of the present generation. Gaxerat, Dix anp rue Faxncn Misson.—t{t is understood that General Dix assames the charge of the Naval Office of this port for a month or two, and that then he will take upon himself the duties of the mission to France— a simple solution of the problem, how is be to fill both these desirable offices? It further appears that for this appointment to France he is indebted to the Secretary of State, a fact which is somewhat remarkable when it is re- membered that the views of General Dix on the Mexican question are, or at least have been, in direct antagonism to the masterly iu- activity and soothing system of Mr. Seward. The question naturally follows, therefore, how happens it that'General Dix should be selected by Mr. Seward at this crisis as the man of all men for the mission to France. We conclude that, from the unsatisfactory results of his soothing system, and from the pressure of public opinion, Mr. Seward has become convinced that a more positive and decisive policy is demanded to meet this case of Napo- leon’s Mexican usurpation. But whatever may have been the motives of Mr. Seward in this appointment, we are at liberty to accept it as the turning over of a new leaf and the opening of a new chapter in our foreign rela- tions, and that General Dix’s arrival in Paris will very soon be followed by Maximilian’s departure from Mexico, unless, from the force of circumstances beyond his control, poor Max may be corstrained sooner to pack up and turn irom the perilous “Halls of the Montezumas” to rejoin his amiable Empress in their more com- fortable and peaceable chateau on the Adri- atic. When Geaeral Santa Anna and Mr. Roberts make up a coalition of Mexican liberals and fighting Irish Fenians for the expulsion of the foreign intruder from the soil of Mexico, the thing will be done regardless of the policy of Mr. Seward ; but if it be true that ard isalsb a party to this coalition, iced, we may rejoice at the change which has come over him. Whata featver in his cap it will be to find that his blandish- menis towards Louis Napoleon and his flunkey- ism towards England have been abandoned for @ vigorous and decisive American foreign policy ! The wise statesman shapes his course to the course of events, and if circumstances demand it his favorite theory or grand idea of yestei- day is to-iay abandoned. So we would apply the change indicated in the policy of the foreign department at Washington to the do- mestic policy of the administration. ‘enacity to a grand idea is a good thing ; but when it has manifestly become a hopeless enterprise it is not only the pari of prudence but of true heroism to abandon it, The Bourbons were hurled from power in France becanse they could not at last be made to. learn anything or to forget anything. The marvellous success of Louis Napoleon, on the other hand, is mainly due to the fact that, with all big “grand ideas,” he has caretully noted the drift of passing events and has advanced.or fallen back or stood still im this or that undertaking as the developments of the day encouraged or admon- ished him. This is the policy for the adminis- tration. Gratitied to believe that Mr. Seward, _in adopting it, is about to change his system of diplomacy from soft soap to sulphur, if neces- sary, we still entertain the hope that the admin- istration will in season adapt not only its foreign but its domestic policy to the inevitable course of events as marked in the drift of the ruling public opinion of the country.
