a races, but in the true spirit of cosmopolitans we shall labor for the unity of the race. Then the millennium will not be far off. ‘The Voxed Question ef the Post Office. The agitation on the new Post Office site appears to have subsided, and we presume that nobody regrets it. The location which the Com- mon Council were generous enough to tender ‘to the general government for one-fifth of its ‘value is universally regarded as wholly unfit for the purpose, and even the few sensitive old gentlemen who were so nervous about the opening of Ann street begin to see that if the Post Office were built in the City Hall Park the opening of Ann street would ‘become an imperative necessity, arising from the immense increase of travel in that vicinity. For our part we do not care ® straw whether Ann street is widened ‘or not; but as a matter of public comfort and on sanitary grounds we seriously object to putting up a pile of buildings on one of the most important breathing spots in the city. ‘We object, furthermore, because we do not be- lieve that the Post Office busigess could be carried on there for the convenience of the public. If it is necessary to locate it in this neighborhood at all, why not take the Five Points, and thus remove an evil as well as con- struct a handsome public building on its site? St. Paul’s church or the Astor House, or Stewart’s marble block, could be purchased, and with a little modification either of them might be converted into a Post Office at an ex- ‘pense very small in comparison with the cost of a.new building.’ In fact it should be an ob- ject to give us more breathing room in the ‘City Hall Park, rather than to encumber it with piles of brick and mortar. It would be a Breat blessing if the few sickly trees there which breed an annual plague of worms were all cut down and one of those fine open plazas, ‘such as are common in Paris and London and ‘the cities of Southern Europe and South Ame- ica, substituted for the abortion of a park now existing. The Croton Aqueduct Department. The bill in relation to the Croton Aqueduct Department has passed both houses of the Legislature and has been sent to the Governor for his approval. As he will certainly sign it, vanless he has already done so, it may be re- garded as a law, and it will give very general tatisfaction to the taxpayers and all rospect- able residents of the city. It continues the present Board of Commissioners, Messrs. Ste- vens, Darrow and Craven, in office for five years from the Ist of January last, and pro- vides that any vacancies in the Board shall be filled by the remaining members. It settles the controversy imposed upon the city by the action of Mayor Hoffman in endeavoring to override the law passed by the last Legisla- ture, and confirms Messrs. Stavens and Darrow im their offices. TheCroton Department is one of the few city departments that has been Ahonestly managed, with a view to the interests of the city, and the people will be glad that it is still to be kept out of the clutches of the palitical “rings.” Street Booths. The State Sen2te has, we see, passed the Dill authorizing the eiccton of booths and stands in the streets of New Yor* snd Brook- lyn. The incorporation of “a soldié#?’ ii paper company” is made the pretext for most objectionable measure; but it will be presently seen that its object is to benefit, not the soldier, but a few greedy speculators. The disfigurement that the erection of these shanties will cause to our streets is not to be compensated for even by a benefit to our dnvalid veterans. It takes us back to the time of the middle ages, when regular mar- kets did not exist and when such obstractions ture he will make a summary disposition of it, —— er A NOVELTY IN THE ART OF NAVIGATION.

Redtapeism, which prevails here in the highest de gree, oullifies all efforts to get at the bottom of the alleged difficulties between General Sheridan, Military Governor of the Fifth district, and the executive officials €m puissance at this capital, That a lack of concerdance ‘on the subject pf the administration of affairs im Louisi- exists between the parties mentioned seems to be Admitted, but the powers that be excuse themselves from furnishing official explanation on the ground of with the public service. It is even hinted that the want of acoort may become so marked ‘a8 to require the removal of ‘Little Phil” from his mili- tary governorship, and the subetitatton of » more pliable personage in his stead. It is true that a correspondence has occurred between Generals Grant and Sheridan about the removal of civil officers in Now Orleans, but General Grant, Secretary Stanton, President Johnson, and “Little Phil’’ himself, dectine to allow the letters or telegrams to go before the public. At the headquarters of the army your correspondent was met with the reply that it was against rules to allow copies of official corres- pondencé to be taken, except for official superiors. At the War Office the Hon. Secretary answered every inquiry with the emphatic monosyliable “No.” At the White House a more civil, but equally decided negative was afforded, while at the Attorney General's office the desired correspondence was non est, and had not been seen even, So the result is, after all, that the gontle public must wait the tremendous developments of red tape, and revel in some other sensations for a little spell longer. The Impeachment Investigation Suspended. The Judiciary Committee of the House have tem- porarily suspended their investigation in matters presi- dential, and the members constituting it have gone home.

The proceedings of the Senate to-day were particu- larly dull before the Executive session, and what trans- pired afterwards is contraband.

It seems to be the general impression that the session will last through next week, ‘and probably longer. Among the missing Senators is Mr. Cameron, who is off in Harrisburg, arranging a slate, it is supposed, for future Pennsylvania appointments, Appointments Confirmed ar.d Rejected. ‘The Senate confirmed only a few, comparatively small nominations to-day, and rejected, Adolphus E.

Ex-Senator Nesmith, ‘of Oregon, has, it appears, been rejected for Austrian ‘minister, the principal reason as- signed being that be would not accept if confirmed. The Senate he's confirmed Henry G.

The worthy Senator, it appears, has fora long time contemplated seriously the notion of giving up legislative honors altogether and retiring to ‘the shades of private life.

Movements of Santa Anna. ‘The Mexican Minister has received reliable information that a secret movement bas been for some time under the auspices of Santa Anna, having in view the organiza- tion of @ fillibuster force for the invasion of Mexico. ‘The facts were some time since placed before the State Department by Mr. Romero, and a promise was obtained from Mr. Seward that the movements of the suspected Parties should be closely watched. The organization, which proves to be extensive, embraces among its other military notables, a well known filibustering general who figured Inst year ina raid across the Rio Grande, and it is even stated that a distinguished ex-United ‘States Senator, who acted as a Confederate agent in Mex- foo during the rebellion, has been occasionally seen at tho residence of Santa Anna on Staten Island. The head- quarters of the parties havo been at Eddington, im Pennsylvania, where they are known as an “Emigration society,” covering their real de- signa by @ show of agricultural and other in- Gustriat implements, Many curious facta are being elicited im reference to the affair involving the sale Dy Santa Anna of valuable real estate in St. Thomas, and the hypothecation of his extensive haciendas at Jalaps, with which to raise the necessary funds, It is no longer doubted that whatever strength in the way money, arms or political influence Sants Anna may pos- sees, has been tendered to Maximilian, and that these pervices have been, or soon will be accepted. Two im- perial agents have recently arrived in the United States, and are known to have visited the General’s headquart- ors at New Brighton. A number of military adventurers are often seen at the house, Additional facts tend to show that Senta Anna is in continual correspondence ‘with military chieftains along the Gulf coast of Mexico, with whom he bas s perfect understanding.

No official information has reached the Commissioner of Indian Affairs yet that contains any allusion to the ru- mored captare, and {t is generally believed here among ‘Western men that the ramor is only another cry of “Wolf,” from afew needy traders with s dusty, worm- eaten stock of goods to dispose of to the troops.

Desperate Effort of the Imperialints—They Make a Sortie from Queretaro and are Re- pulsed—A Doer Open for Max to Escape— Heavy Loans Levied by the Liberals—Trade Prostrate, d&o. Sax Low March } Potosi, 26, via Gauveston, April 6, 1867. The imperialists at Querétaro are making the most desperate efforts to keep the liberals at bay. On the ‘22d they made a sortie in the direction of Zelaya, for the purpose of capturing # provision train belonging to ‘the liberals, They were, however, driven back to Querétaro after five hours of hard fighting. This movo- ment would lead to the belief that the imperialist troops engaged in this sortie were sent out to check Corona’s advance and prevent his junction with Escobedo in front of Querétaro, and that instead of attacking him in front fell upon his rear. It can hardly be supposed that Max’s force is strong enough to allow him to repeat the mistaken tactics of Miramon when he meade his flank movement on Zacatecas. The besieged have been receiving small bodies of rein- forcements, and Escobedo is also having his forces rapidly increased. Préstamos, forced toans are being levied on all the liberal cities to sustain the war, and no stone is left unturned to finish up with the empire while its head and tail are almost caged in Querétaro, However, I must state that Querétaro is not entirely surrounded now, owing to Escobedo’s way of concentrat- ing his forces, The southeast mountain road is still left open to Maximilian, and he can escape through there with the larger part of his forces at any moment, Trade {s entirely prostrate and everybody awaits the solution of this Querdtaro problem, which has evidently become the hardest nut to crack. On the 3d of April several Amoricans wero arrested at Bagdad and taken prisoners to Matamoros. They had attempted to land at an irregular point and were fired upon by the Mexican guard, whom they at once assaulted in return.
