The mlachief of this political rowdyism in a clty like New Orleans ia that it excites outbrenks, in which the unfor- tunate freedmen are certain to be the sufferers. The Jacobins who profess so much concern for the negro lead him into trouble, and then leave him to meet the danger alone; while hot headed fire-eaters who still believe in “South- ern rights” are always found ready to avail themselves of all such opportunities to wreak their vengeance on the unfortunate blacks. Yet tho whofe pack of negro philanthropists at the North will open cry at this report, and urge Governor Wells to persevere in bringing this new danger upon the freedmon of New Orleans. Errecrua, Brockape or Broaspway—Taar Trorovanyare Given Ur to rae Sraert Ra Roap Corrorations.—Another huge swindle on the down town merchants and citizens of Brooklyn, Jersey City and Staten Island was perpetrated during the qniet of Sunday by the laying of a street railroad through and across Broadway at the already overcrowded in- tersection of Park row, Fulton street and Broad- way. This point has for years been the chief interruptton to city travel; “jams” have been more frequent and accidents to limb and life more serfons here than at any other point. Greater efforts have been mide to repair the difficulty, by proposals to bridge the streets, throw open the City Hall Park as a paved plaza, to be used by vehicles, and to widen Ann street. But while these actual and necessary improvements have been discountenanced by the City Corporation, because the “Ring” saw no jobs in them, Broadway and Fulton atreet—the two most crowded thoroughfares of-the city and the only available outlets for the crowded pop- ulation of our suburban cities in Jersey and Leng Island—have been completely and effect- ually blockaded by the Legislature:in author- izing this unnecessary extension of the double track of the Dry Dock and East River Railroad not only across but through Broadway. Tho impossibility of runuing cara through Broad- way ought to have been apparent to anybody with any knowledge of the frequency of “jams” at this point, and will’be made evidence before the: day is over to the corporation which has disfigured and obstrucied the street On an. average one car every threo or four minutes will attempt to cross Broadway, going in either direction, and the result will Be one interminable covfosed jam, delay and confusion. Not only this, but he place will become still more dangerous to foot passengers, and it will be next:to impoasi- ble to pass in safety. No such obstacles in cenirat and crowded localities ought to be per- mitied, and this new. obsirnction to Broadway travel ought at once toberemoved: For years the citizens bave been endeavoring to prevent the mutilation and. obatruetion of Broadway by the Inying of street railroads im it; but the soulless railroad corporations, in defiance of the well known wishes of the people, have | lately obstructed it at Houston, Grand, Canal ‘and Leovard streets, and now the blockade is completed by the laying of the road through and across Broadway atits most crowded part. An injunction should at onee be placed upon, the nuisance, and the rails skould be removed. Tre CoxsnyvtionaL AMuNp MENT In Trxas.— We have a coport from Texas that “a proclama- tion has been iseued by Governor Throckmor- ton, dated October &, declaring the proposed amendment to the consiitution to be ratified by the people of Texas,” and that “he reports the vote of the State to be 28,119 in favor of and 23,400 against the amendment,” but that the Legislature has rejected it by a vote of 67 to 6. The Gulveston Bulletin, in commenting upon this action, says “the day may come— and that day may not be far distant—when the members refusing to ratify the amendment would be glad to undo their work, though we are afraid it will be too late after the discovery fs made that the South will never get any Detter terms thon thove proposed in the amend- ment.” Now, occorting to this Intelligonee, the sucndment hay been put to the test of a popu- lar vote in Texas ag a guide for the Legisla- ture; but the Legislature has flatly refused to be guided by this verdict of the people. We conclude from this that the Legisisture of Texas is almost entirely composed of the unconvinced and implacable leaders and adhe- rents of “the lost cause” of Jeff Davis, and that, on the other hand, © decided majority of the voting white population of Texas recognize the grear issnes decided by the war and are In favor of the constitutional amendment as the basis of @ restoration to Congress. From this example, too, we may safely infor that fn all the othey excl States the masses of the pedple ore far abead of their old hide-bound, fire-eailny, State rights and constitutional potti- fogging and quibbling politicians, who have Yet to learn that in the late deluge of fire and blood oll their old dogmas and doctrines rest- ing upon State sovereignty or slavery have been consumed or buried. The copatitutlousl amendment marke the opening of anew chapter and @ new era in the bistory of the United States. It involves the necessity to the Southern penple sod the Southern Siates of casting nside alt their old notions and old leaders and of beginning the world again under now ideas, new leaders and new politeal clothiog from head to foot This is the fight which they must now fight out with their old incurable fire-caters. It may ocenpy them two or three years, but we can wait. When this business shall have been settled to the South we shall have « decisive contest and settlement with the radical divorganizers of the North; but we nmust first get the South into Vine before we van make this fight effective, Ax the matior now standa, the old fre-eating Sonthern uliras sre playing their old snioidal gamo of wid and comfort to the Northern redicel Jacobine, and the honest masees of the South, as usaal, will have to pay the corte. Taw Trovrye Apoor tim Wan DeranrMsxt.— The news trom Washiagion shows thore ls some trouble about changing the head of the War Venoriment, lh wee madecptoed phot Mr. OCTOBER 29, 1866 Stanton was to leave and that General Sherman was to be appointed Secretary, either regularly or ad interim, Thore is no doubt some movements have been mede with a view t» making this change, and Genera! Sherman’s presen? in Washington gives strength to tho opinion, Bat it is said General Grant demurs to lds distinguished fellow officer and subordi- nate being placed over him as Secretary of War. He weuld not object, probably, on any other ground. Such an appointment would not seem to be appeopriate or according to the et quette of milfiary rank. In this view the appointment of Genen*! Sherman as Secretary of War would make tt necessary, perhaps, that elthor be or GenerabGratt should resign his position in the army. This «'ifficuity may have caused a chango in the purpom? of the Presi- dent and may prevent a change in the War Depariment at present, Tue Mextoan Muppuw ann tue Mexican ‘Moppurrs.—We have privete informatkon from Washington, which we deem reliable, ¢o the effect that M. Castelneau, the agent o¥ the French Emperor to Mexico, carries with Yim strong advice to Maximilian to abdicahg, and positive orders to bring home the Fren troops, As there is little doubt that Moximil- ivn will leave as soon as the French soldiers are withdrawn, the Mexican muddle, so far as the empire is concerned, may be considered near its close, and the sooner the finale comes the better. At the same time, Phil Sheridan has disposed of the Mexican muddlers in his famous letter a few daya since. The stout old General Santa Anna, whose communication we published yesterday, may as well return to St. Thomas and devote himself to the care of his famous game chickens. Ortega, who is repre- segted as waiting to know whother his head- quarters will be permitted to enter Mexico, had better settle down quietly at New Orleans, where business will no doubt be brisk and profitable as seon as the people have disposed of the radical copperheads and copperhead radicals, who are disposed to keep: them in hot water. All the Mexican muddlera had better keep out of Phil Sheridan’s way; for he will cut them off as surely as ho cut off Lee and his army at Five Forks, “ Tas Rive”—Tar Great Devare BETWEEN Joun Morrwsry any Yankee Svurtivay.—In view of the important position held: by Mr. Jobn Morrissey at this crisis in our public af- fairs, and the great influence which he wields as the right hand man of John. Hoffman and the banker (faro)-and ring master of the Tam- ‘many rump, the people are becoming interested in his antecedents as & public man. In order, therefore, to gratify this laudable curiosity, we reproduce in our eolumns to-day our original graphic report of the great debate at Boston Four Corners, on-the 12th October, 1853, be- tween Mr. Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan in the ring and on “the manly art of self de- | fence.” Mark the contrast between the “short, eharprand decisive” knock down arguments exchanged betweon Morrissey and Sullivan in this exciting debate and the comparatively tame-and tedious constitutional chop-logic of the long electioneecring diseussion of 1859, be- tween the late Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas. . Boston Four Corners will speak for Jobn Morrissey and his antecedents in de- mocracy and as to hie wind and muscle in support of the democraiic platform of the Tam- meny rump. Going back io the first princi- ples of the ring, what a pygmy es their cham- pion is John Hoffman alongside of John Mor rissey. | Tae Fenn Trurs i Canava.—We notice | by our despatches from Canada that the trial of the Fenians has been postponed till Wednes- day next, in order to allow the counsel for the prisoners time to bring up their witnesses, In the meantime there is a great deal of bitter feeling and excitement growing up in this country against the British colonial authori- ties, The Canadian government would act wisely to postpone the trial indefinitely and let the prisoners out on nominal bail. It seems strange that only the non-combatants—a priest and a newspaper correspondent—have been tried yet. If the Cauadian government should execute these men, and particularly if it should execute the priest, it will raise sach « furious storm, both here and among the Catholics of Canada, ag all the redcoats and militia in the colonies will not be able to allay. We cannot thimk it will be so crazy. The best way to pre- vent Fenian raids is to be magnanimous after having @rmally vindicated the law; the surest way to create more and greater trouble is to sacrifice the prisoners and thus make mariyre of them CITY INTELLIGENCE: Caving 11 OF 4 Samp Bare—A Man Senioveny Levorzy.— While an excavation was ta progress in the rear of No, {21 Fourth avenue, for the purpose of laying the foundation of A house, on Saturday evening last, the banks suddenly coved f of the laborevs, © man Maased: Willems ‘Dorry, veaiaiug, tn West Forty seventh street.
