4 NEW YORK HERALD, JAMES GORVUN BENNETT, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR were charged with having illegally removed three bar- rels of distilled spirits from No. 31 Abattoir place. The spirits had been seized by an officer of internal revenue. The accused have beoa held to await an examination, Roger Lang giving bail in the sum of $1,000.

Gold closed at 134% @ 34. The condition of general open engagement the Turkish forces had been successful, we have no reason to believe that the insurrection there will be more easily sup- pressed than in Crete. Outbreaks in other di- rections are likely to take place immediately. While these things are going on the European Powers, one and all, seem to be at their wits’ end to know what to do, Now we are told they are all perfectly agreed and that non- intervention is to be the ble and uni- form policy. Then again we learn that while Russia, Prussia and England are as one as to the course which should be followed, there is a growing disposition on the part of France, Austria and Italy to adopt a course which is altogether different. How the muddle is to be cleared up and the question finally settled we profess not to know. That it ought to be settled, and that it might be settled in some such wayas to promote many existing European interests and to ad- vance the cause of Christian civilization in the East, there can be no manner of doubt. Mo- hammedanism in Europe must be got ridof. Its Presence on the western side of the Bosphorus is a standing insult to the Christianity of the entire Western continent, and so long asit is tolerated can act in no other way than as a barrier to the progress of modern ideas. The question which has to be solved in the interests of Christian civilization and with a tru: to the welfare of mankind simply is whether this insult is to continue—whether this barrier shall remain. We have already suggested a solution of the difficulty. We suggest it again and commend it to the special attention of the puzzled mind of European diplomacy. Let the Holy Father in- voke the Catholic Powers to aid him in a new and grand crusade. The idea, if encouraged by Napoleon, the eldest son of the Church, will give unity to Catholic Christendom. Austria, Italy, Spain and Portugal will all heartily fol- low his lead, and volunteers by thousands will swell their ranks from all the ends of the earth, The grandeur of the enterprise would startle and astonish the world. Success would be inseparable from the undertaking. The re- sults, both immediate and remote, in their variety and in their magnitude, would exceed all, even the most sanguine expectations. The internal disorders of the nations would be healed. Fenians and reformers, absolutists and republicans, Carlisi and Christinos, abandoning their paltry platforms and for- getting their party names, would rise to the level of a grander cause and enier upon a nobler struggle. The trembling infidel, abandoning houses and lands, mosques and minarets, would disappear for- ever from European soil. The long dethroned emblem of Christianity would again surmount and adorn the dome of St. Sophia. With Ccn- stantinople again for its centre the lower em- pire might arise fresh and vigorous from the ruin of centuries. The year of the Papacy’s greatest humjlity might prove to be the year of its greatest glory. Napoleon would have established his claim to the honored name he bears and would have fixed his thrope on firmer and broader foundations than ever. Pio Nono, having accomplished bis mighty task and restored the fortunes of the Church, would go to his rest leaving behind him a reputation more brilliant and enduring than that of any of his many illustrious .predecesaors. And when the great work should have been done it would be found that it was ‘not the least | im- portant of its many results that it had given an impulse and an energy to human thought and enterprise such as had not been feltatace the time of the great Reformation.

Our Washington correspondent writes that the politi- cians of Virginia are exultant over the passage of the Supplementary Reconstruction bill, as not over five hun- dred persons in the State will be disfranchised by it, office holders not having sworn allegiance to the United States since 1849. In the other Southern States, how- ever, the bill will disfranchise a large number, General Schofield has issued an order prohibiting the whipping of any person forerime. Tho law of Congress disbanding the militia of the ten Southorn States is also Published for the information of all concerned. Tho report of the Committee of the Virginia Legislature recently sent to Washington, speaks favorably of the reception they met with from the mem- bers of Congress.

On the 18th the allied armies captured one of the enemy's tntrenchments, The Brazilian papers denounced the reported offer of mediation between the allies and Paraguayans by tho United States. There was considerable excitement at Buenos Ayres by the discovery of a conspiracy to over- throw the government, and several arrosts were made. The revolution in the Argentine Confederation had not been suppressed, the force sent against tho rebels having been defeated. The Buenos Ayres papers bitterly oppose the conunuance of the war, and denounce the alliance with the ‘nigger empire,” as they term Brazil. They advise the acceptance of United States mediation. Tho news of the ocean yacht race had created much interest among Englishmen at Rio. The electious in Brazil had resulted in the success of the conservatives, The gov- ernment of the Argentine Confederation was taking vigorous measures to suppress the rebellion.

The customs returns from the whole island of Cuba during the mont of Fobruary amount to $1,110,620, which shows a net increase of $116,279 over the amount collected in February, 1866, without including $323,146 lost by the revenue in consequence of the exemption of the export duties, In the sugar market the last quote- tion of 73¢ reals for No. 12 has been easily sustained. despite the unfavorable advices from Europe.

By the Atlantic cable we have news reports dated yes- terday evening, March 16, Turkey is relaxing her hold on the people of the East, Earl Derby announces that Servia 1s practically free, the Sultan's troops marching trom Belgrade. The Porte Consents, it is said, to the return of the Candian exiles, Despatches from Vienna report that the Turks have Gained another battle in Thessaly, ‘The British Cabinet expects that a rising of the Fe- nians will take place all over Ireland to-day, St, Pat. rick’s festival; but it is “believed”? that the gov erament ‘Will be ‘able to suppross it before it asgumes very for- Midable proportions,’ The exodus of large numbers of Irish from Queenstown to America, including many known Fenians, is supposed to evince a desire on their Part to-escape from the scene of bloodshed. A strong force of military is stationed in Liverpoo! in anticipa- ¢ion of a Fenian insurrection in thetown. Many more Fonians have beea committed on charges of high treason ‘fn Ireland, The Paris Moniteur says that Marshal ‘Bazine completed the evacution of Mexico on the 10th of March, leaving himself with the last of the French @oldiera, The Spanish government has been generally eustained at the elections in Madrid and the provinces. Consols closed at 91 for money in London. United States fivo-twenties were at 743; in London, and 77% in Frankfort. The Liverpool cotton market closed firm, with mid- @ting uplands at 13344. Breadstuffs firm and quiet Provisions unchanged. Our epecial correspondence from Paris, with the news- paper mail details of our cable despatches, contain mat- er of considerable importance and much interest. CONGRESS. In the Senate yesterday resolutions were presented for the improvement of the Mississippi river, and for aid in the construction of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. A resolution was adopted instructing the ‘Committee on Retrenchment to make an examination into the methods adopted by the Treasury Department ‘of printing bonas, notes and securities. The resolution directing that the coin of the Richmond banks @hall be paid into the Treasury was passed. A resolution to define the meaning of an act relative to property lost was passed. The Supple- mentary Reconstruction bill was then taken up and de- Dated at length. An amendment to alter the oath of allegiance to be taken by electors was lost by a vote of 18 to 19. Another amendment to make it necessary that the constitution shall be ratified by a majority of all the The Fenians on the Border—Movements of the Canadians. The Fenians all along the border have ex- cited another panic among the Canadians. At Ottawa they were startled with the news of another mustering of the terrible Fenians at St. Albans, Vermont. At Montreal the author- ities were mustering infantry and artillery, regulars and militia, against some apprehended invading force, of the materials and where- votes rogistered was also rejected. Mr. Ed- A Cattle merchant named Kilgour was run over by a tick munds’ amendment that one-balf of the regis | train near Steubenville, Obio, on the 14th inst., and lite- punter bagels on aor jee mrt win tered electors shall vote on the question of | rally cut to picces, His head and both legs wero entirely | 'Ormation. ‘oronto the military authorities were very active. They had sent fifty infantry to Brantford, and two troops of horse were to join them in a few days, and they were to be farther strengthened by a whole brigade of regulars and volunteers, cavalry, infantry and artillery. At Ogdensburg, on the American side of the St. Lawrence, the Fenian excite- ment was up again, and at Port Wellington and Prescot, across the river, they were pre- paring for war, as Prescott is regarded by the provincial authorities an “objective point of the Fi ”’ Besides this “an immense num- ber of strangers are travelling that way,” and they may be Fenians in disguise; and then the St. Lawrence, three miles above, is still frozen over so solid and strong that a ae army might cross on the ice. And yet the dhly evidence of the presence of belligerent Fenians is furnished from the other end of the line at Chicago. There, on Friday evening last, a monster Fenian meeting was addressed by President W. R. Roberts, of the Canadian scheme, and a Fenian regiment pa the stroets amid the wildest enthusiasm; and here is, perhaps, the secret of all these apprehen- | sions among the Canadians, We can assure the Canadians, however, that the Fonians have neither the wings nor the ballogns necessary for carrying an army, through the air so as to drop it down from| the clouds upon Montreal, Ottawa or Toronto, | and that, therefore, as the Fenians in under- taking the invasion of Canada will have to move by the ordinary means of transportation, they will hardly be able, ten thousand strong, to get over Lake Erie or the Niagara or St. Lawrence rivers without being seen by some- body in time for her Majesty’s loyal p vineials to get the alarm and to prepare to) meet the enemy or run away. We are sure the Fenians can’t be digging a tunnel any ratification was agreed to. The amendment of Mr. Drake | severed. Deceasod resided at Port Washington, Ohio, that the votes of the people should decide whether a convention should be held or not was agreed to, Several other amendments were disagreed and agreed to, and upon the question being taken the bill was passed by 38 yeas to 2 nays, Mr. Johnson voting yea and Mesars. Buckwew and Hendricks nay. The other democrats ‘were absent. The Senate then adjotrned at twelve o'clock, ‘The House heid no session yesterday, THE LEGISLATURE. ‘In the Senate yesterday bills to amend the New York Pilot law; to discontinue a portion of Second avenue, Brooklyn; the Erie County Poor bill, and other local Dills were reported favorably. A majority report was made iu favor of prohibiting the use of steam cars below Seventy-eight street, unless the Yorkville cut shall be built up and covered over. Also in favor of changing the route of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Rail- roa, The Sevave then adjourned. In the Aseombly but little of importance was done. Mr, Ransom, by unanimous consent, introduced a bill authorizing the constraction of an underground railroad in New York. Resolutions of thanks to Goorge Pea- Dody for his donation to the South were adopted. Sev- eral reports were made and a number of bills of a local nature advanced to a third reading. The Assombly then adjourned, a THE CITY. To-day being St. Patrick's Day, all of the Catholic churches will celebrate the event by appropriate cere- monies. ‘The Board of Education are busily engaged in increas - ing the accommodations in the primary schools of this city, One new house hasbeen finished inthe Fifth ward and others are being erected.

In to-day’s issue we publish a series of tele- grams relating to the affairs of the East. Ser- via, if this last cable announcement proves to be more correct than the many which have preceded itto the same effect, will at last be relieved of the hated presence of Turkish troops. Since the ascendancy of Turkish power in the West the Ottoman Porte, regard- ing Servia as an important outpost of the empire, has always maintained on her soil a number of powerful and well garrisoned fortresses, of which Belgrade is the largest and most important. The Servians, who have for some time enjoyed a nominal independence of the Porte under the reigning family of Obrenovitch, have never ceased to regard those fortresses with their garrisons as a stand- ing menace to their liberty and as a barrier to their fature progress. Since this last revival of the Eastern question they have continuously and persistently demanded from the Porte the complete and final evacuation of these for- tresses. From time to time we have had it re- ported that Turkey had consented to withdraw her troops. Subsequent information has uni- formly convinced us that the question was still pending. From the fact that this last announce- ment has been officially made by Lord Derby it is more than probable that on certain pre- scribed conditions the Sultan has at last agreed to the demand of the Servians. Another item of our cable intelligence is to the effect that the government of the Sultan hastens the reforms which It is intended shall be granted to the Christian subjects of the em- pire.

Another Legislative Job. We see that a bill has been introduced in the Legislature for the creation of the office of Metro- politan Fire Marshal. We had been under the impression that we already had a very capable and energetic officer of this kind. He certainly has had no fault found with him, except, per- haps, that of not being a politician. He in- vented the office, if we may use the phrase; saved millions of dollars to the public and to the insurance companies by the vigor and in- telligence with which he discharged its duties, and did more to arrest the crime of incendiarism than all our judges and police magistrates put together. He ac- complished all this without putting the city to 8 dollar of expense, the instifance companies CITY INTELLIGENCE. Tus Crry Tax Levy Aproven wy tas Mator.—Ou Bat- urday Mayor Hoffman approved the City Tax Buiget as and adopted by both branches of the Commom amended Council, and the document was went W the The Mysteries of the Telegraph. At the banquet of the American Chamber of Commerce in Liverpool in honor of the promoters of the Atlantic cable, on last, Mr. Cyrus W. Field declared that the existing cables were perfect in construction The principle which is recognized in railroad business—the greater the traffic the greater the profit—holds equally good in telegraphing. We confess, therefore, that we are at a loss to discover why the directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company should fix a limit to their business so far short of the | clubbing together to pay his salary. It is pro- | Tia typhoid have coomros; botheof shee nated ence capacity of their lines. posed to do away with this valuable officer, to | ering Tha fortnight; but this is 6 mail ao ot In this statement of Mr. Field, however, we find the explanation of an event which has excited’ s good deal of speculation, namely, the abandonment of the Russian line by the directors of the Western Union Telegraph Company. That project was entered upon before it was known thatthe Atlantic cable would be a success, It was subsequently taken up by the Western Union directors with a view to speculation, and after forcing the stock up to the point at which it suiged them to dispose of it, under the pretext that the Atlantic line would not suffice for the requirements of the European business, they sold out all they held and then stopped the further construction of the work, leaving in the lurch all the smaller holders of the stock. The reasons assigned for this dis- creditable proceeding were that the natural difficulties in the way of the construction and maintenance of the line were so great that it would be impossible to carry out the under- taking. Now, these points had, it was sup- posed, been settled by the surveys, and the stockholders bad no reason to anticipate failure from them. Even now they do not believe any more than we do that the line is impracticable, or that, sooner or later, it will not be completed. The Western Union specu- lators knew, however, that the Atlantic cable more than sufficed for the present European business, and therefore got out of the concern satisfied with the pile they made and content to sacrifice all those whom they had deluded by their representations. These facts go to confirm the views to which ignore the services that he has rendered the community and to put a trading politician in his place. And this is to be done at the ex- pense of the city, which is to be called upon to pay his successor a salary of five thousand a year, with probably a couple of thousand more for a deputy to discharge his duties while he is attending to political matters. It would be a waste of breath to expend indignation in denouncing so disgraceful a job. The repub- lican whippers-ia in the Legislature will drive it through in spite of all that can be said. Specs Payments.—Greeley insists upon it that the immediate resumption of specie pay- ments would be the easiest thing in this world. Why, then, does he not prove it by setting the example and proving his theory by immediate resumption in the Zribune? Let him begin, and if successful he will soon have a host of follow- ers. We have no faith in his theory, and 80 we prefer to await that more ¢onvenient season when we can be paid as well pay in specie. Proressor Loours.—The democrats confi- dently predict that Barnum, the showman, and the men on the radical State ticket will see such a shower of stars on the night of the Con- necticut election that they will think the day of judgment has come. What says Professor Loomis? Will he be good enough to figure up his calculations on the subject from the longi- tude of Greenwich, by way of the Atlantic cable? Nor Leaving Eupry-nanpep.—We perceive by a despatch from Paris that an imperial ‘Tas Srrest CLeanina Commission.—A meeting of the ristial which was recent! monk ie cocmadelar of fe collision’ with the ‘seamanip orth America. Tas Wreck or tae Sreamer Frawsxav.—The stew- ard, W. Phillips, and crew, twenty-eight in number, pe- longing to the steamer Flambeau, wrecked a short time ago near Fort Fisher, arrived at this port last Thursday by the steamship Fairbanks, of the New York and Wil- mington line, They were taken on board by the Cap- tain, Honter, who gave them a free to this city, and treated them, as did all his crew, during the voyage very kindly and in a most praiseworthy man- ner. A New Hose Carniacr ror Conumar, 8. 0.—It is stated that arrangements have been made by the Now York Volunteer Firemen’s Association to havea new hose carriage built for presentation to the firemen of one recently f'n to steduer Andalusia. It is expected to be completed in about six weeks, at a cost of $2,000. EXPERIMENTS WITH TAR PORTABLE Fine ExtinGotsuER.— Levy’s fire extinguisher was yesterday subjected to @ series of very interesting experiments, at the Battery Barracks yard, before Charles C. Pinckney, President of the Fire Commissioners; Elisha Kingsland, Chief En- gineer of the Fire Department; Mr. J. L. Dougtas, om behalf of the Underwriters, and several officers in the service of the Pactfic and North American Mail Steam- ship Companies. Several fires, some of them consisting of tar barrels saturated with kerosene, and some of planking, over which morphine and coal tar had been poured, were lighted, and after the element had become thoroughly rampant, the engine was able to quench it; we recently gave expression in regard to the | steam transport has just arrived from Mexico | in afew Seconds in 8 most satisfactory manner.

A cutting wind swept down Broadway and the parallet streets, causing business men, as they wended their way down town, to wish, with the rustic market women, ‘thoogh with more reason, that the wind would change before the hour for their return system. The doctors maintain that it is a fruitful cause of dyspepsia, that direst of the ills that afflict hamanity.

To-day the Catholic Charch celebrates the festival of St. Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint; but, Inasmuch as the festival falls on Sunday, there will be no special ser- vices in any of the churches except in St. Patrick's Cathedral in this city, In all the churches, however, the occasion of the anniversay will be alluded to, constitutions is certainly very edifying on the part of our radical legislators. Does it not strike them that a little of the same consider- ation for the constitutions of their constituents would be equally in keeping with their obliga- tions? Article Three of the Rates and Prices of Hacks. For conveying a passenger any distance not exceeding one mile, fifty cents; for conveying two passengers the oe Jemrogest Nea ere cents, He hi Fae anda thirty-seven and’a bateesa aR pee Thus reads the first section in the article of the ordinance regulating the rates of fare for hacks. The fourth section reads :— For conveying one passenger to Fortieth street and Hemp) half an hour and returning, one dollar and a half; for every additional } fifty cents, The penalty for demanding more than the legal fare is a forfeiture of any sum whatever for services, and for refusing to show the num- ber and badge a fine of $10. If the hackman insists upon his unlawful demand it is the duty of any policeman to arrest him upon applica- tion of the party so attempted to be defrauded. With these plain rules of law we cannot see why the grievances so frequently complained of against the system of hackney coaches may not be put a stop to by citizens themselves. A case occurred not long ago at one of the wharves, where a hackman demanded an exorbitant fare froma gentleman. The case was promptly referred to a policeman, and upon the gentleman giving his card and promis- ing to make a complaint the dishonest driver was at once arrested and carried off to the thieves, who broke open ber trunk and made off with several dollars in bills and several Opher articles of value.
