TRIPLE SHEET. Now York, Thursday, April 4, 1867, NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS. MISCELLANEOUS. Our San Luis Potost (Mexico) letters are of various dates, the latest being March 9, and are mainly confir- matory of despatches received previously in relation to the situation at Querstaro, Two letters of Maximilian had been intercepted, in which he intimates that some un- sparing hand has been rifling his treasury. The siege of Querétaro had been actually commenced on the 4th ult, by the advance of Corona, who promised to take it’ ‘by the 11th of March.

EUROPE. The news report by the Atlantic cable is dated to yes- Corday evening, April 3. dent of the Freach Legislative body, in place of Count Walowski. Console closed at 91 for money in Landon, United ‘States Ave-terentios ware at 75 in Londoo, 78.10 Fraak- fort and 64% in Paris. The Liverpool cotton market closed dull, with mid- Gling upiands at 12X4. 012%4. Broadstuffs were firm. A large quantity of California white wheat was sold in Liverpool for export to New York. Provisions were very dull and the produce market generally unchanged. By the steamship Java, at this port yesterday, we have very important mail advices from Europe dated to the 231 0f March. ‘The reports eannot be regarded as in dotait of our cable dispatches, for the Atlantic telegrams failed to convey the serious features of the political Gituation as revealed in the written intelligence. There aro, ia fact, many points of the news—published in the Herato to-day—which have not been touched by the cable. ° War proparations, with the exciting causes of war, ex- Ssted on all sides, Our special correspondent at Roche- fort, France, furnishes a tetter in which he sets forth the immense naval prepafations which were being car- Fied on in that port, besides noticing the unusual activity which prevailed in the other dockyards of the empire. The secret treaties recently concluded between Prussia ‘and Bavaria and Baden and other of the Southern States of Germany had just been published, and this fact may be accepted as accounting, to some extent, for the French movements referred to above. The Prussian publication of these State papers evoked considerable irritation in Paris, where the act was regarded as a bold reply on the part of Count Bismarck to the arguments used in the French legislative body with respect to Germany during the late Thiers’ interpellation debate, A Paris journal says that the promulgation of the treaties, intended at first to be kept secret, just now goes to show te the world that Napoleon is brought in face of forty millions of Unitea Germans, mostly soldiers—a force which will soon be increased to fifty millions. . Austria remained unmoved by the Prusso-German treaties, The Presse, of Vidnna, asserts that the govern- meat of the Emperor was aware of their completion from the first, and sees nothing in the papers at variance with the provisions of the treaty of Prague. ‘The New Presse, of Vienna, indeed, pronounces in favor of an Austro-Prussian Alliance. Mr. Gladstone assembled the opposition liberal mem- era of the British Parliament, numbering over three hhuadred, at his residence in London. The merits of the Derby reform bill were fally canvessed and a general opinion of the inutility of the measure expressed. John jas the reform leagues to “ get rid of thors’ as soon as possible. Goneral Gleeson’s father, aged about seventy years, has been arrested for Fenian treason in Ireland. He pro- claimed that ‘‘he bad seven sons Fenians and glorified in the fuot.’” Our special correspondent in Dublin states that another formidable Foman rising is certain to take place in Ireland, and that even the judicial execution of some of the present leaders will not deter the others Govern- ment bestows the most lavish encomiums on the Irish police force, Many of the men are to be decorated with the Victoria cross for their conduct in the Fenian war, ‘and asum of two thousand pounds sterling is to be divided among them. By asort of Irish contradiction this oficial course ts regarded as evidence that the authorities doubt the loyalty of the nen «nd are about to attempt to bay it, THE LEGISLATURE. 1a the Senate yesterday the bills incorporating the Montague Theatre Company of Brooklyn, and to create & department of charities and corrections in Kings county were reported. Bills amending the Metropolitan Registry law ; for suppressing the trade in obscene litera- ture; increasing the common school tax in New York city to ton dollars per pupil, with an amendment appro- priating fifty thousand dollars for schools for colored children; and to incorporate the Crosstown Railroad, in Now York, were passed. Several bills of an unimportant character were advanced to « third reading in the even- ing session, and the Senate adjourned. Tu the Assembly the Annual Supply bill was made a special order for this evening. The Broadway Railroad Dill was considered in Committee of the Whole and ordered to a third reading. Bills for the payment of the claims for the war expenses of the State agninst the United States; to amend the General Railroad law and for other purposes were passed. The bill for the con- struction of an experimental railway in New York and ‘Westchostor was reported. The bill to facilitate the con. straction ofthe New York and Albany Railroad was lost, Dut, on motfon, the vote was reconsidered, and the bill ‘was laid ou the table. THE CITY. ‘A special meeting of the Union Republican Cet Committee was held at their headquarters, at Argus Hall, last night, Resolutions providing for tho election of ologates to the Syracuse Convention were adopted, and ‘a communication from the Executive Committee of the Union General Committee of conservative republicans fequesting a fusion of the two branches in the soma Saag Mr, Spencer, the chairman, had provared a reply, characterizing the conservatives as @ The Tax en Mining and on the Coiunge of E B i : i i es-ault on the Oth. The advices from Honolulu, H. 1, are tothe 1ith of March, and contain no news of importance. An arrival from the Clarion Islands reports a large whaling fleet there and at the Gallapacos Islands. < The United States Senate, in executive seasion the common platform of Southern interests. There was a banner at this meeting with the motto, “If we (whites ead blacks) must live: and vote together in the same State, let us be friends.” This grand idea controlled the meeting, and this banner was hailed with cheers from more than = thousand voices. Make way, then, ye Northerm radicals and-cop-: perheads, for am intusion of Southern ‘Black men in Congress. And why not? Is not, for instance, this black man Turner, in intelligenea, integrity, true statesmanship and refinement, equal:to the calibre of John Morrissey, Fer- nando: Wood or Ben Butler; if not a peg or two above them? Verily, the Southern States, with the political fusiom of their whites and blacks, have the: future: political Lalance of power of this country in their haude. Legislative Covruption. Bf we are to believe the reports from Albany the operations of the lobby in the present Legislature surpass the experience of any for- mer session. It is said. that scarcely’ bill is brought forward that-is not pounced upon by these gentry and made to pay from five thou- sand dollars upwards before it has a chance of success. The members are generally cheated by the lobby, who keep all.they get for them- selves. The former owe it to themselves an@ their families to look into this matter and’ make the “ third house” pay up. The lobby demand money upon every bill, ander the pretence: that they pay it out to members, and the mem- ders should therefore insist upon having “the © game as well'as the name.” restrictions upon miming enterprises, a repeal of all charges at the Mint, and especially the abolition of the tax at present Ievied on foreign bullion. He shows quite conclusively that notwithstanding the aggregate of one thou- sand millions of dollars ‘of bullion pro- duced during the past seventeen years by California and the adjacent States and Territories, mining is to-day, as it always has been, “a fascinating illusion,” and that ® complete: abrogation of all taxes and re- strictions upon it, and a repeal’ of all charges atthe Mint, would tend to develop the country and enhance the value ofits products. He also demonstrates the very serious fact that the present tax levied upon foreign bullion, natu- rally drawn to this country for: assaying, refin- ing and coinage, amounting to: one and three- quarter per cent on gold, and two and a half per cent on silver, has the efféct to repel the products of Mexico and British Columbia, and other metalliferous regions, and force them into foreign channels. He adds that “the coinage of money is a necessity of the govern- ment and a benefit to the whole community, and its expense: should not be: borne by the few who produce the material. Other govern- ments have long since restricted their mints to coinage only, and if the Seeretary of the ‘Treasury will contract with private refiners for an exchange of crude for refined bullion and throw the small expense of coinage upon the Treasury, the results which will arise in the reduction pf the. price of gold,.and the conse- quent advance in our national. securities, will much more than compensate for the loss of revenue from: this source.” The views of Mr. Garnett are worthy of consideration. The sbo-- | lition which he proposes of the tax on foreign: bullion would: have the effect of increasing the volume of specie in the country, particularly the silver, which it is likely we- shall need more: than. gold. Good Prospect for a Binek. Mayor in Waskr- ingten. Under the: law of universal suffrage in Wash- ington the registry of voters is going on there, and as far as it has progtessed (three wards out of the reven) the registered negro voters are largely in the majority. The population ot the city, in round numbers, is perhaps sev- enty thousand whites to thirty thousand blacks, The whites, however;.it is reported, are so largely disgusted with negro suffrage.and the oath of loyalty that they are letting the registry go by default. If they ehoose to continue this game, the noxt thing-will be a negro. Mayor for ‘Washington by default of the disgusted whites. An@ if they will have it so, even so. let it be. The national capital is the proper place for the practical inauguration of the new epoch of political equality, and an American Mayor of African descent would not be a bad begin- ning. If we are, then, to have the millennium thus inaugurated in Washington, is not Andrew Johnson at hand ready to volunteer as the orator of the day? A Query for Govornor Fenton. A great many persons are at a loss to under- stand and curious to discover the reason of Governor Fenton’s hostility to Police Commis- sioner Acton. Acton is the most efficient mem- ber of the Metropolitan Police Commission, and he is remarkably faithful in the discharge of duties, He deserves to be sustained. rather than to be snubbed and opposed by the Execu- tive of the State. We hope that Governor Fenton will give this subject serious consider- ation, and that he will be willing, upon reflec, that the public voice is loud in favor of resto- | &teater than from Cape Hatteras, oer pe aa gmaven Binh ys " compelled to follow the current.

Armed Processions—The Right te Boar Arme. The riot which took place in this city om' Saint Patrick’s Day,and in which so many. policemen. were wounded, has naturally led to the suggestion of measures for the prevention of similar occurrences. The bill introduced im the Legislature by Mr. Berryman:is not, how- ever, one that is likely to meet with much favor. It sets out by violating a constitutional right—that of our citizens to. bear arms. Under a despotic: government the prohibition which it makes would be rational and logical;, but it is not so here. If a despotism restricts. individual liberty it gives in return protections for life and property. Can we-be said to enjay” Fashionable Amusements at the State Capital. Keno is said to be a very popular game in Albany this session among the general resi- dents and visitors of the capital, although the aristocratic Senators and members, with the representatives of the New York “rings” and railroads, still adhere to draw poker. The regular lobbymen scout both these pastimes, and have no taste for anything but the fiercest of tigers. Apropos of poker, will Jacob Sharpe Jet us know how much he lost or gained in his tilt with Ben Wood a few nights since? Infor mation and figures are wanted at No. 1,999 Broadway. - Large Receipts from Customs. The receipts from customs during March were unusually large, amounting to sixteen million dollars. Last year during the same month they were ‘only « trifle over eleven million dollars, This great increase isa sure sign that our merchants have felt encouraged to prepare for an active and extensive revival of trade. The Lesson in Connecticat. Greeley insists that there is clear majority of republican voters in Connecticut, and says that but for “the infidelity of @ fraction of its members” it could have “carried everything but one member of Congress.” Just so; but it was that one candidate for Congress that operated as a dead weight upon the party and caused the defeat, not only of the whole State ticket, but of two additional candidates for Congress. The lesson will not be thrown away. murders are almost of nightly occurrence To deprive men of the means of defending: themselves without first taking care that the neeessity shall not arise would be a manifest injustice. While, however, we would not interfere with the constitutional privilege conceded to the individual citizen, we would be gind to see a stop put to the abuse of it in the carrying of arms in public processions. This the second and third clauses of Mr. Berryman’s bill would, do. We would even go further, and prohibit the occupation of the streets by publie proces- sions at all, with the exception, of course, of the military turnout on the Fourth of July. There is nothing more absurd than the ob- structing of the business and passenger traffio of a city by such displays, They serve no useful purpese and are often produetive of much misehief. If there be really need of any such demonstrations let them be made outside the city ona parade ground specially allotted for the purpose.
