When Louis Napoleon, in his brilliant Italian campaign of 1859, reached the famous Austrian Quadrilateral and discovered there that with a further advance the war must assume propor- tions which he was not prepared to meet, he wisely sounded a parley, arranged an armistice and made a treaty of peace. This is the lesson which the late elections convey to the adminis- tration. This lesson is the crowning result of these elections, They mark the line of another quadrilateral beyond which it is dangerous to pass, They call for a parley, an armistice and a treaty of peace with Congress. President Johnson in his late campaign through Pennsyl- vania, Ohio and Indiana, on the merits of his controversy with Congress, left the constitution, from point to point, in the hands of the people, and the people, from the Schuylkill to the Wabash, have emphatically decided the case in favor of the Southern restoration plan embodied in the constitutional amendment of Jongress, The case, we say, is decided; for that the elections of November will run in the same channel as those of September and October, and with a more powerful current, there is no reason to doubt. What, then,is the course which President Johnson ought now to pursue in deference to this overwhelming pressure of Northern public opinion? It is fixed that the next Congress will hold to the restoration ulti- matum of the present Congress, so that in con- tinning his fight all the odds will be against him to the end of his term of office, and his administration wifl hardly take a higher rank in history thap those of poor Pierce and Bu- chanan. Brit we regard it as impossible that *s statesman of the strong practical common sense gmd large experience of Mr. Johnson can | adbtre ton line of policy which has mani- featly failed beyond redemption. The coup + | d’éat maliciously hinted at in the late Phila- de|phia gold gambling canard is an entirely ' | preposterous idea ; and yet to do away with such wicked inventions and such unjust suspi- cions it becomes the imperative duty of the President to the country and to himself to place himself at once en rapport with the will of the people. We are pleading in behalt of the adminis- tration. With or without its support the amend- ment must prevail. Mr. Johnson, however, by cordially falling in with it may still secure the lion's share of the glory of a complete restora- tion of the Union. In this view surely the | appropriate hour has at last come for » recon- struction of the Cabinet, a new departure and | a bold and vigorous domestic and foreign policy, including the constitutional amend- ment, the reformation of our financial system | aad a decisive settlement of our outstanding | belanees against Bagiand and France. In this nviting field there is “ample scope and verge enough” for the highest ambition of an active A Franc Movemenr Acaner Tammany.— statesman desiring to leave an enduring mark | The terrible and sweeping list of charges pre- of honor and glory im connection with his nane. But the Grst essential step towards the broad and comprehensive domestic and foreign policy thus suggested is a reorganization of the Cabinet. The decline and fall of Cardinal Wolsey from the graces of “bluff King Hal” was not mere painfal than has been the fall of Mr. ‘Seward in the public estimation. From that ill-starred Chicago pilgrimage he has returned an old man “worn out by the storms of State,” reduced to the drivellings of a mounte- bank. Humanity in his case requires bis re- lease, while sound statesmanship demands a Bismarck in his place in the maimenance and expansion of the Monroe doctrine. Nor is Mr. McCultoch, with his limited and techaical notions of banking and brokerage, the man competent to grasp the management of our financial system as Secretary of the Treasury. In a word, a new Cabinet, from stem to stern, judiciously selected, would be a masterly stroke of policy for Mr. Johnson at this crisis. Starting from the initial point of the late elec- tions and from the apparent public sentiment of the country in reference to England and Franoe, the Cabinet adapted to the ends in view may readily be found. Nor are there any other landmarks by which the shoals and breakers of a perilous coast may be avoided than the lighthouses set up in the late elections, Traty To Take Care or THe Porg.—It ts stated in our late news from Europe that an understanding has been come to between Napoleon and the Italian government—that the latter is to maintain the Pope in safety at Rome in his full dignity as head of the Church after the French troops are withdrawn. This is just as it should be. There is no reason why the Holy Father should leave his chief bishop’s See and become a pensioner upon any Protestant country, although no doubt he would be well provided for in any country. For example, the United States would willingly give him a hospitable welcome and a secure home. The representative of the Church has presided over an old, but now almost effete, religion and civilization for many centuries, He has done much to redeem Europe from barbarism, and Europe is not likely to forget it, . But a new order of civilization has sprung up, and we gee the temporalities of the Pope yielding to its inevitable influence. Charle- magne invested the Pope with a policeman’s baton, but the latest successor of that great monarch’s family—Francis Joseph, of Aus- tria—can do nothing to preserve it. Napoleon, who no doubt would like to be the successor of Charlemagne, is in a similar position. It is eminently proper, then, that Italy, the home of the Popes from all time, should take care of Pius the Ninth, who is a venerable, benevolent and most excellent prelate, and keep him still in Rome, the centre of Catholicity, in ease and comfort for the rest of ‘his days. Nationa Respecrasmiry axp How Ir 3 Sacriricep.-The bitterness and general mis- conduct of the radicals and copperheads during the late political canvass have given our neigh- bors on each side of us @ pretty idea of our stability and respectability. The indignities heaped upon President Johnson during his late tour to the tomb of Douglas by ‘the radicals, and the indecent prominence of copperheads at the North and secessionists at the South in the reconstruction of the democratic party on the President’s plans, have induced Maxi- milian, on the one part, to think that we are on the eve of a revolution, and our Canadian friends on the other, to imagine that the cop- perheads are bent upon rising in arms against Congress. Max thinks the impending revolu- tion is a good thing for him, and our Canadian friends are actually getting troops from Eng- land to aid the copperheads. We can assure Max and the Kanucks that their hopes and their friends are imaginary. Though the radi- cals and copperheads form a revolutionary element, the main body of the people have no revolutionary tendencies. In the late war the radicals and copperheads did no fighting, and they will be found in any future revolution a very poor class of allies. The hopes of our neighbors would be only amusing if they did not cause a blush for the unpardonable misconduct which has prodaced the comments which we have noticed. The contemptible factions headed by Ben Butler and his ilk on one side and by Hoffman and such material on the other, have created much froth and fury, but it signifies nothing save only our disgrace. The respectable portion of the country will have to ignore these factions and insist on decency in Congress, the Execu- tive mansion, the Gubernatorial residences and among the people themselves, or we shall totally sacrifice our good name for respecta- bility among nations. Mars. Exizaneta Capy Stanton vensos THE Hon. James Brooxs.--That smart, intelligent, enter- prising and fascinating lady, Mrs. Blizabeth Cady Stanton, is up for Congress against the Hon. James Brooks. Againat such a competitor what ought Mr. Brooks to do? He is a Indies’ man, and common gallantry requires his re- tirement in her favor. “When there's a lady in the case, Of course all other things give place."’ Mr. Brooks, then, ought to surrender grace- fully and graciously in favor of the first petti- coat for Congress. Why not? He did the best he could do at the last session of Congress to assiet Thad Stevens in behalf of negroes’ rights and negro suffrage ; and Mrs. Stanton will do this, if elected, with far greater ability ; and in addition to this she will stir up every spark of gallantry in Congress in behalf of woman's rights and woman suffrage. Moreover, with an influential lady in the House of Representa- tives, the ronghs of that body would 20 longer make it Tammany Hall. Let Mr, Brooks re- tire. Proposey Great Porrricar, Matieee.—Why does not Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Starton call a great mass meeting of the ladies somewhere and have Anna Dickinson make a speech and address the meeting herself, and thus open the great campaign for woman's rights in a proper way? Mra, Cady’s only opponent is Mr. Brooks, who is going to run against her; bat he is far too gallant to stand in the way of s lady who wants to go to Congress to make gentlemen of a set of fellows there who sadly aeed some- thing of the kind. A Monet Potrticat Srercu.—The spege, of Father Grant at Cincinnati the atber4vening Tet) ' waa a molol for all our political O4tors. * thom study it well and imitate [94 they oxo sented to Governor Fenton against Street Commissioner Charles G. Cornell and his deputy, Supervisor Tweed, is the most power- ful flank movement against Mr. Hoffman that could possibly have been made. Tweed and Cornell have been for some time past the backbone of Tammany, and the patronage of the Street Commissioner's office, charged to have been so corruptly and unscrupulously used, has been the main reliance of “the ring” to keep a party at its back. It was, their infu- ence that made Mr. Hoffman Mayor and de- prived the city of a very good Recorder. In the Democratic State Convention at Albany they made a successful effort to get Mr. Hoff- man nominated for Governor over General Dix, in the hope of covering up their tracks and quasbing this terrible indictment. But the Citizens’ Association have resolved that they shall not escape by any such strategy. The eharges have been made and the trial must take piace; for it would be political ruin to Gover- oor Fenton to neglect or delay the investiga- tion, and the developments will entail an awful exposure upon Tammany and “the ring.” In view of this unexpected blow, Mr. Hoff- man would do well to quietly quit the stump and retire from the field. There is no possible chance of his election. He has established a good reputation as Recorder and has made a fair Mayor. There can be no possible pre- tence for postponing the trial of his friends and backers on the specific charges made against them, and if he desires to save the reputation he has gained he had better cut loose from them at once and give up the contest. Burriz—Tae Sarateca or Evropz.—The little watering place of Biarritz is likely to be come as historic as Ghent in the way of con- ferences and alliances between sovoreigns, statesmen and politicians. It was there that Bismarck outwitted Napoleon while concocting the plans which led to the late German war and the reconstruction of Europe. Now we notice tbat a general gathering of important personages is about to take place there. Napo- leon, Gortschakoff, Bismarck and other notables are about to meet, for the ostensible purpose of arranging the Eastern question and discuss- ing the fate of Turkey; but there will be prob- ably many other subjects on the tapis also. They will talk a good deal about the Turk, but they will be thinking a good deal about them- selves. The watering place of Biarritz is the Saratoga of Europe, where, as at our famous springs, all the politicians go to consult and square up matters, Tue County Nominations.—Tammany has not yet made her county nominations, but a great many of the outside. organizations have already put their candidates in the field. Mr. Hackett has been nominated for Recorder, “Miles O'Reilly” for Register, and Gideon J. Tucker for Surrogate. These nominations are all popular and are stronger than Tammany herself; and as it is necessary for “the ring” to do something, in view of the Street Com- missioner exposé, they had bettor take them up and endorse them, and by this means cover their retreat. Tas AssocuuTED Press anp THE CaBLE.— Why have we had no Atlantic cable news lately? We once stirred up the Associated Press with the cable and it got along very well for a while. Shall we have to stir it up again and make it pay the expenses? There is an African in the fence somewhere, and he must be hunted out. Are there no private de- spatches received and used in Wall street? Is there any connection between these private despatches and the suspension of the Associ- ated Press reports? We want information about this matter as well as news by the cables. How is it that we receive fewer mes- sages now that there are two cables than we did when there was only one? Something is wrong. Tae Last Puraperrata Canarp.—It is now evident that the Philadelphia canard about the President and the Attorney General was con- cocted, like the Howard proclamation, for effect upon the gold markets. But we call the attention of the executive committee of the Associated Press to the fact that this fabrication was telegraphed by their agent to all parts of the country except the city of Washington, where it might have been promptly exposed. This matter demands an immediate investiga- tion, The Associated Press has been pretty badly managed of late, and this last offence ought to secure a reform. Tae Rosstan anp American ALttance.—The talk about this alliance is all buncombe. There is a sympathy between the two coun- tries, but there never can be an alliance. Rus- sia’s interests are Asiatic and ours are Ameri- can. We want no foothold—not even a little island—in Europe, and, therefore, have nothing to gain by an alliance. Russia bas a vast con- tinent to civilize and develop, and as it is already under her control and nobody wishes to dispute her power, she has no need of an alliance. Nations, like individuals, may form friendships without becoming partners in, business. Tar Srreer Commisas Triat,~-We hope that Governor Penton will do hig daty promptly in the matter of the terrible charges preferred against Street Commissioner Cornell and have the investigation commenced at once. Has he fixed the time for the trial of the case? If not, we trust be will do so forthwith. Ovr Ctams Acaisst Exorann--Is it not time for the President and Mr. Seward to make & peremptory demand for the payment of our claims against England for the depredations of the Alabama? Have they forgotten that? Save Yorr Monegy.--There is no use in any one taking campaign documents or subscribing for the support of any of the candidates at the coming elections in this city and State next month. The whole thing is decided. Save your money. NEWS FROM CALIFORNIA. Reported Extensive Defnleation—Rejoicings of the Republicans Over the Late Victoriés, &e.

The regiment is taking steps in the matter, and a few days ago @ Board of Of. Core were appointed to make an estimate of the probable expenses of the trip.

The following are the facts to which the committee respectfully invite your atten- tion 7 ig the earnest desire of Americans xeclgent, in Paris and London that the Seventh regiment should visit those cities in 1867; that the French and English govern- ments view the proposed visit with favor, although no official invitation has been ten orcan be ex} l. The in. formation on this point is obtained from Colonel Charles Norton, U. 8, Cor er to she Exposition; that the proval of our State and National governments can be ly secured; that a cordia! reception Ra the National Guard of Paris and by the Volunteers of land, is i and pesos § assured; that the proposed rp would occupy not toe sixty days; that the trip should not be undertaken with leas than ‘a0 officers, non-commissioned officers aud privates. The band and drum corps, armorers and company servants, would number at least 8 men—minimum num- ber of men for the trip, 685 men; that the expenses of the trip would be as followa:— Steamer to Havre and return. nses for transportatiol Franee and England... 115,000 Band and drum corps, armorets, &o. 15,000 New full dress uniform (600 men) 35,000 Sundry expenses 10,000 Total. ...... $300,000 ‘This is the’ maximum ‘estimate; the minimum’ estimate $275,000, Prominent merchants and citizens have tary offered te eonteibute large sums to defray the es of the trip, but said offers have not yet assumed reliable or tangible form. ‘rom the facts above atated,- the committee arrive at the following conclusions:—That ‘although it is probable that six hundred of the active and exempt members of the regiment would be willing to devote the time and labor necessary to prepare for the trip, it would still be necessary that ‘the hearty co-operation of the merchauts and bankers of this city should be secured, in order to obtain a leave of absence for sixty days ‘to such of their employes as are members of the regiment; that itis not probable that any considerable number of the members of tle regiment would be willing to expend the amount required by the above eati- mate—viz , $400 to $5W per man—in addition to the time which would necessarily be devoted to the trip and to preparn- tion for the same; that the regiment is under many obliga- tions to the authorities and citizens of New York for their uniform kindness and favor during the past half century, and could not ask, expect oF consent that they should con trite anything fo its expenses on such a trip unless they were convinced that by #0 doing the regiment might ad something to the glory and honor of the city, State and na- tion: that the project should be abandoned af once tf It ts to be regarded as a pleasure excursion simply, and unless the ment can carry with it abroad the endorsement of the public that it is to some extent a representative of Ameri- ‘an character and American interests. ‘At present the committee can only submit to the active acid exempt members of the roglment the following ques- jons:— Are you willing to accept the invitation above referred to to visit Paris in 1867, und to devote the time and labor neces- sary to prepare for the trip ? ‘Are you willing to assume the pecuniary obligations ren- dered necessary by the above estimate, and if not, what part same? ‘The committee furnish herewith to the active and_ exempt members a blank form, with the necessary questions upon the subject of this report, which questions mem! .

Mr. Mozier, an American artist, lately returned from Rome, where he has been studying for the last twelve years, exhibits a collection of statuary in the gallery of the Studio Building, Tenth street. There are seven groups, the Return of the Prodigal Son, Il Penseroso, Jephtha’s Daughter, Undine Rising from the Castle Well, The Peri, Pocahontas, and the Wept of the Wish Ton Wish. The first of these is the principal work of the artist. The grouping and anatomical study of the father and his long lost child are good proofs of the artistic abilities of Mr. Mozier. It is a very elaborate work, and must have cost the artist many years of continued painstaking ap- Plication. Il Penseroso ts the beaw ideal of Milton's melancholy gocdesa. One of the best anatomical figures ‘wo have seen in the metropolis, and one which breathes in marble, 1s the Peri, or Eden Regained. The subject is well known to the myriad readers of Lalla Rookh.

The figure is nude, typical of innocence, and in pose, character and finish, is a work of the highest art, The other works of Mr. Mozier aro also excellent, and enti- Ue him toa prominent position among American aculp- | tors, both at home and abroad. LIFESAVING WATER TANKS. | 70 TRE BDITOR OF THE HeRALD. {Tn roading your paper of to-day I saw a very distress. | ing account of shipwreck and loss of life. Complaint | was mado that the lifeboats capsized and that more lives were lost thereby. I would suggest to your notice the fact that there is no passenger vessel which carries boat room sufficient for the number of souls usually on board. They cannot do it, not having the room. Captain Faunce mentions a raft invented by in Frazee, Tt is a ver, good thing, no doubt, but it not what is required It takes up room and is of no use exerps to save life. I would suggest to you, and ql! others who are in- terested in maritime aiai method by which vessels may be supplied wth the means of saving all on board in case of gon’, (other than blowing up), and yet not have apy room lost or extra weight carried. ’ TO THE #DITOR OF THE HERALD. On reading your report of the Alice's challenge I am | tempted to express my regret that hor owner did, not for tbe honor of our flag, make his challenge an even one. You are no doubt aware thas in making it to English yachts of hie own length he bas practically confined it to vessels of little more than half her size—Johnny Ball's craft being all so nartow. I see that the Alice was measured and entered for ofe of their club races where she would lave nad « chance of testing ber powers ton for ton, but for pome reason or other she did not start The Britishers have shown thomeelyes real mean in the way they have writfon of the little Red-White-and- Blue asa cheat that crossed the Atinntic as a, passenger, bat let us give the devil his due; if we challenge him Jet us do it fairly, and if we whip bim, as we did before, let it be without odds, KEEF CRINGLE.

Interesting Statistics of the United States. The following interesting item of statistics was pre- pared in the United States Census Bureau, Department of the Interior, and taken from a roport in reference te the area, populavon and density of population of the United States:— Tho land and water surfaces of the United States are equal to 3,250,000 square miles—land 3,010,370, watee about 240,000 square miles, The States embrace 1,804, square miles of landed surface and the Territories sgh miles, as exhibited by the eighth census of 1860. The nurnber of inbabitants in the United States returned in 1860 was31,443,321—in the states 31,143,046, and 296,275 in the Territories—thus showing an average of seventeen inhubitants to each square milo im the States, while in the Territories there are four square miles to each inhabit and exclusive of the District of Columbia the territori area would represent five and one-fifth square miles to each inhabitant. In 1860 Massachusetts had 157, Rhode Island 138, New York 82 and Pennsylvania 62 inhabitants to the square mile, which rate appled to the United States would give 472,000,000 in Massachusetts, 400,000,000 in Rhode Island, 246,000,000 in New York and 189,000,000 in Pennsylvania, Belgium, England and Wales and France in 1855 had 897, 307 and 176 im- habitants to the square mile respectively. If the United States was ae densely populated as France our population would number 528,000,000, or if populated aa densely as England and Wales 924,000,000; and if ae- cording to Belgiam’s density of population (397 to the square mile) the United States would contaim 1,195,000,000, which is 110,086,000 more than the entire population of the world in 1866, The Indinns in Colorado Territory. Governor Cummings, of Colorado, informs the Com- missioner of Indian Affairs that General Carson, com- manding at Fort Garland, thinks that he can, by carefat management, prevent the hostile feelings now existing among the Utah Indians from spreading to the Tabagua- chi-Utes of Colorado, who have been quite restless of late, on account of delays in the receipt of their promised annuities, The goods had arrived, and Governor Oum- mings intended to distribute them at once.
