By special telegrams through the Atlantic cable from Berlin, Paris and Pesth, Hungary, we have interesting Zaropean advices dated yesterday, June 23. We are assured from Berlip aod Constantinople that the Sultan of Turkey has accepted the collective allied proposition for a joint inquiry into the situation in Candia, and that the mixed commission will assemble in Constantinople. Napoleon continues to purchase army horses in Hun- gary. The Queen of Prussia will arrive in England next ‘Tuesday, on a visit to Queen Victoria Count Bismarck isin Pomerania. The members of the “Left” in the Hungarian Legisiature are active in their opposition to ‘the Cabinet. The Emperor of France specially thanks the Council of the Exhibition for its official congratula- tion on his escape during the attempt on the Czar, The Czar Alexander reached St. Petersburg yesterday. ‘The people of Croatia are much opposed to union with Hungary. Five-twenties were at 77% in Frankfort yesterday. By the steamship City of Boston, at this port, we have mai! details of our cable despatches to tbe 13th of June. The main points of the reports were, however, embraced in the compilation from our files by the Ham- monia, published in the Henatp yesterday, The speeches delivered by Earl Dorby and Mr. Disracli tw yutation of ‘conservative’ workingmen in Lon- don, om the subject of the relations existing between the aristocracy and people of England, and in denunciation Of the efforts of the radical reform leaguers to divide the Classes and koep (hém asunder, are quite important. MISCELLANEOUS. Our Mexican news, by way of Havana, contains farther details of the adventuros of Santa Anna. The Proposition of the old general to replace the defunct empire with a republic was made the subject of a coun- cil of war among the imperial officers to whom he broached the question. The majority bitterly opposed the interference of Santa Anna at all, more especially ‘at the hoad of Amorican soldiers, as they were convineod from his own remarks that he had with him a command composed of Americana. The United States government came in for almost uastinted abuse on the part of the Jmperial patriots; and their abuse of Santa Anna was Destowed upon him mainly on account of his having accepted the “protection” of the Washington govern- mont. It was finally decided that he should not be in- vited to land. A subsequent council of war was held, however, and it was determined to pronounce for the Fopablic and Senta Anna; but before the arrangements ‘wore completed Commanders Roe and Aynsley stepped tn and stopped tne game. Our Panama correspondence is dated Junel4 No mews from Bogota hed been received. Lopez, Mos- quera’s general, was operating against the town of Bar- ranquilla, The R. R. Cuyler had been again seized by ‘the Spanish Admiral Chacon, with the intention of kooping her asa Chilean privateer until tnmistakable Proof of her Colombian nationality could be received from Bogota. The secession party in Panama are await- ing evidence of outside sympathy before throwing off the yoke of Mosquera They particularly desire aid and comfort from the United States. The health of the fethmus Was not so good as might be expected. The Montane had lost two officers from fever. The Ossipee fod Resaca were in port. Our Lima (Peru) correspondence is dated May 27. ‘Tho revolation was fairly under way, and the prospect was that Castille would drive out Prado, The proposi- tion in Congress @ reduce the church property had been rejected. Prado asked Congress for extraordinary powers, intimating that he would take them by force if they wore not tendered him by constitutional enact ment, Tu Powhatan was at Callao, By way of Panama we have interesting mail advices from Australasia, dated at Melbourne, April 27; Sydney, ‘May 2, and Wellington, New Zealand, May 8—a month lator. The details—political, agricultural and Goancial— are of an interesting character. Our «pecial correspondence from Japan, Gated a vokohama on the 26th of April, embraces very late and ‘teres ting details of our news telegrams, overiand from fn Francisco, published in the Hemaup some days Moe, The heavy imports of ries to the port of Yoko. ‘Tage produced quite a panic in the trade, Real estate O¥ ore wore slightly nervous as to the effect which the ee eee ee opening of the new port at Osaca may have on tho value of property in Yokohama. There were ox American “managers” in the city making engagements with native juggters and acrobate. The Presidential party visited the echool ship George ‘M. Barnard, lying in Boston barber, yesterday, where Prayer was held and eevoral short speeches wore made, when they returned in the afterncom to the Tremont House. Asermon of @ very impressive nature was delivered Ings evening by the Rev. George L, Taylor, in the Methodist Episcopal church, in Carlton avenue, Brook- lyn, before @ large congrogation, on the “Recent air- gun murder and guicide and other marders.”” ‘The arrests im this city yesterday, under the provisions of the Excise lew, amounted im all to fifty-three. Of these nine were for intoxication, one for being drunk and disorderly, twenty-eight for disorderly conduct, and fifteen for selling liquor. ‘There were bat two fomales arrested ; one for disorderly conduct and one for selling liquor, ‘The conservative citizens of Norfolk, Va., recently dis- covered that the registration lists at that piace contained the names of more darkey voters than actually beleaged there, and they offer fifty doltars reward for information leading to the detection of the Individuals ongaged ia the fraud. Genoral Longstreet says that he did not intend to ally Dimeelf with the radical party, but only gave what he thought was the best advice to his Southera brethren in his recent letter. George H. Pondloton entertained Schuyler Colfax and two or three othor radicals at his residence, near Cincin- nati, on Saturday, The pugitistic mania among the “fancy” continues unabated, Two firat appearances in the roped srons took place on Saturday morning, one of them at Hanter's Point and the other noar the Palisades, in which the respective combatants battered ono another with an ardor and zeal that augured well for future tri- umphs io that particular science. Eight or nine buildings im the village of Camden, N. Y., imcluding two churches and the Park Hotel, wero destroyed by fre yosterday afternooa, invoiving a loss of $75,000, An accident occurred on tho Wilmington and Man- chester Railroad on Seturday, by which a train broke through a trestle work bridge, killing two men and wounding several others. The Union Pacific Réilread bas beon completed to Julesburg, 376 miles from Omaba, Four persons have been bound over in Harrisburg to answer a charge of stealing the property of the State from the Capitol, including among other things eight hundred and fifty volumes of the Adjutant Genoral’s report. A secret society in Tennessee, composed of negroes, is sworn to murder any of the members who abandon ita ranks or oppose Brownlow. ‘There are ten more daily republican aowspapers in the South now than there were before the Reconstruction law was passed. ‘Thirty orators, twoaty of whom are colored mon, have been shipped South by the RepublicanzCommitice at Washington. Mra. Maria Gilmore, a widow lady, of Springfield, Mass., sixty-five years of ago, committed suicide yes- terday by cutting out her bowels, which she placed near ber ina pail of water. She lived an hour afterwards, and made her will. She was supposed to be insane. National Bank Monopoly and Corruption. Our expesures of the rottenness and corrup- tion of the national banks have had the double effect of arousing public indignation against the infamous system, and of alarming the mo- nopolists connected with it, This system has been weighed in the balance and found want- ing—found to be full of corruption and oppres- sion, and those interested in it see their doom, like Belshazzar of old, in the handwriting on the wall. In their alarm for the fate of their monopoly they are preparing to head off these exposures and the growing disgust of the people by a combined effort to buy up Con- gress. We have been informed that a circular, emanating from a New York national banking house, has been sent to the national banks throughout the country, assessing them one- sixteenth of one per cent on their capital for this corruption fund to buy up members of Congress, with a view to defeat opposition and perpetuate their monopoly. This is just what we might expect. Such corrupt institutions oan only exist, if they can exist at all, through corruption of the national legislature. The amount proposed to be raised for this purpose is probably only the nucleus of a larger cor- ruption fund ; for the banks can well afford to spend many millions in this way. We have little faith in the integrity or patriotism of many members of the present Congress, and have no doubt that they can be bought. What the price of some may be we cannot tell—ten thousand dollars or a bundred thousand—but whatever it may be the banks have ample means and no scruples about using them. Besidesa great many members are interested in the banks as man- agers, stockholders or directors of them, or in the ready accommodation they get from them to secure their favor and votes. Then that fourth estate of the republic, the Washington lobby, which the banks have beon using for some tim past, will be largely subsidized through the corruption fund. But we give the monopolists warning that all their money, schemes and appliances will be of no avail. Their fate is doomed. They cannot buy the independent pregs, and it will continue to pour not shot into their rotten institutions till they are sunk under the waves of popular indignation. They may buy up Congressmen, subsidize the lobby, rally capitalists to their support, and enter into polilical combinations with Chief Justice Chase, or other Presidential aspirants and wire-pullers, but common sense will prevail. The honest and industrious masses must see and feel the evils of this mon- strous and oppressive monopoly, and will de- mand its speedy destruction. Every day or two we have to record the col- lapse of some national bank. The system has only been in operation two or three years, and already about twenty banks have collapsed. Latterly they have been going under more rapidly than at first. It required a little time, but not long, as we have seen, to develop their character and condition. The last smash heard of was that of the National Bank of Vicks- burg, which occurred only a few days ago. Just before that banks at New Orleans, Mem- phis and other parts of the country broke. We need not enumerate all these failures or the bad character of some of them. The public is familiar with the facts. From the astounding and reliable disclosures made by the special ‘correspondent of the Herat in the West we may expect to hear soon of a general crash in that part of the country. Several of the banks there have been driven to the last extremity to meet the demand for even a portion of the gov- ernment funds deposited with them. It is known that generally they have been speculat- ing very extensively in grain, flour and other provisions—buying up everything they could get hold of for the purpose of forestalling and controlling the markets. This was the real cause of the high price of flour and provisions, for there was pleaty in the West, They have been using the people’s money deposited with them™ by the Treasury Department, and the currency, which rightly belongs to the people, but which the government has given to them, for raising the price of the necessaries of life. ‘The working millions of our people have been NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 24, 1567. paying for flour and other things a hundred per cent or upwards more than they should heve paid, because the national bank monopo- lists forestalied the markets. But these specu- lators of the national banks have overreached themselves. With large stocks on hand and with the prospect of an abundant crop every- where, the price has fallen, and continues to fall, in spite of them. The consequence is they ere embarrassed and on the verge of bank- ruptoy. They are atruggling desperately, a8 our correspondent has shown, to keep their heads above water, but, if we mistake not, a good many of them must soon sink, We have heard the rumbling of the storm which must burst over them before long. All this shows that great monopolies, fostered by the government, only create reckless specu- lation. Tho more privileges they have and the more they make the more extravagant, op- preasive and reckless they become. The na- tional banks have a clear gift of twenty millions & year in profits on their currency, every dollar of which belongs to the people, and should be husbanded by the government, besides other enormous privileges, swelling their income to an incredible amount—to an amount approach- ing, perhaps, a hundred millions a year—yet with all this many of them are on the brink of bankruptcy. There is reason to fear that, through the shortsighted stupidity of Mr. McCul- looh in trusting to these rotten institutions, the government will soon find its deposits swept away by the coming storm. It is highly pro- bable, too, that the orash will be so general that Mr. Spinner will not be able to realize enough from the securities deposited with him to pay the note holders, and that the govern- mont may have to make them good if it should be able. Talk of repudiation! Why, we may be nearer that than many imagine, looking at the condition of these national banks, at the increasing burdens of the govern- ment, and at the declining revenue. One of the first things Congress should do on assem- bling in July should be to institute a thorough investigation into the condition and working of the national banks. It will not take long to find out the monstrous evils oonneoted with them. In fact we can furnish the evidence. Then let the act creating them be repealed at once and the whole infamous system be swept away. The New Mexican Ministor.; We publish elsewhere a defence of Mr. Ol- terbourg by a friond of his, who disclaims the report that the newly appointed Mexican Min- ister ever made any attempt to have the em- pire of Mexico recognized. It is not our inten- tion to make misstatements of any kind, and mayhap, in the hurry of the telegram, mistakes crept into it; if so, itis to be regretted. The appointment, however, of Mr. Otterbourg is, at this juncture of Mexican affairs, most inop- portune, and Mr. Seward could not have made @ worse blunder, The naming of Mr. Camp- bell was sufficiently unfortunate. This is the worst blow yet struck at our Mexican affairs, and threatens to throw them into an even worse condition than they were before, With all re- spect to Mr. Otterbourg’s private character as 8 citizen, he is the last man who should have received the appointment. He is a foreigner, speaks the Spanish language imperfectly, and even the language of the country he is to represent is not fluently at his command. Had the appointment been for some other country we could not have complained; for we know that Mr. Seward is little disposed to have as a foreign minister any one who dares to think for himself, and who is other than a mere clerk of the State Department. The present appoint- ment is nothing but ruin to our Moxican inter- ests, and Mr. Otterbourg can only show his good sense by refusing a commission which the Senate cannot ratify if they have the slight- est respect for our relations with our sister re- public. At this delicate point in Mexican affairs, when a minister has to grasp and shape the policy of our government for the next century, we want one of our best, our ablest mon. We want a man, moreover, who stands high with the Mexican people—one whom they can re- spect, and one whose dignity of character and personal attributes will enable him to handle the great questions that are to arise in our Mexican contact. The liberal government, although spurred almost to desperation by the demands of the nation to shoot Maximilian, have risked being overturned by the popular clamor, and, at our request, have retained him 8 prisoner, evidently awaiting the arrival of a proper minister from the United States to con- fer with us relative to the fate of the royal filibuster. The first thanks we give them for acceding to our request is a gross insult, by the appointment of a man for whom they have but little respect, who cannot represont us as we should be represented, who speaks neither our language nor theirs, who understands nothing of the great questions which are wait- ing for settlement, who can only damage American interests throughout Mexico, who will not receive from the Mexican people that honor due to our national representative, and who can only, in fact, misrepresent the United States. We already have a sufficient number of ministers abroad to damage our contact and commerce with other countries more thao the next ten administrations can repair; but this last act of the State Department, in reference to ® country that requires one of our ablest men, is worse than all the rest combined. Mr. Seward must have experienced an unusual scintillation of genius when he made this ap- pointment. If the brain of the United States Senate is hit by the same spark truly we shall despair of the nation. Reviving the Old Game. the same time that New England philan- thropists and politicians were ringing the changes on the barbarism of slavery New Bng- land shipowners, it was known, were engaged in the elave trade, Brother Jonathan impar- tially making his game on both sides of the grest question. It would seem now also that New England exercises a double activity through her deep interest in the nigger. New England radical orators are preaching politics all over the South and telling the niggers how to vote and who to vote for. Other Now Englanders, convinoed that Sambo was happier in slavery, are doing what they may to make him happy from their point of view. Negroes from the Southern States are said to have been started ostensibly for Liberia and landed and sold for slaves in Cuba “by Boston skippers.” This story comes from North Carolina. Boston will deny it, of course; but that city ovght to have an investigation, to whitewash all its skippers very nicely, and prove the ‘sory hor- ribly and terrifically false. Party Disorgaaization ta tho Seuth. there will come increased confidence and a The Union league councils in the Southerm’, seneral revival in the trade of the country. States, which for some time past had been forced into existence, like exotics, in the radi- cal hothouse, appear to be dwindling away. We notice by some of the Georgia papers that the leagues in that State are dissolving them- selves by almost unanimous votes of the mem- bers, who assert that “they were deceived in regard to the end and aim of the organization, and will not consent to do what is required of them.” Now the question is, what was required ofthem? What was the object held out to them as an inducement to join or form these clubst What were the conditions demanded ofthemt If it was represented by the poli- ticians that the easiest way to reconstruction was through the channel of the Union league organization, many honest Union men might have been led into it who have since learned that it meant party aggrandizoment rather than the good of the South. Many Union leagues also may have discovered that the or- ganisation was getting to be too mueh under the control of federal officcholders, a.clacs of men in the South who are playing fast and loose with Congressional intrigue and Presidential patronage, who are radicals of the first water to the radicals, and good Johnson men to those who expect to find a Southern Moses in Andrew Johnson. Almost every one of the two classes comprising the officeholders and the radioal leaders not “in office is an aspirant either for a seat in Congress, which he hopes to obtain when the South is reconstructed, or for some preferment in the line of federal patronage, such as registrar of election, assessor or col- lector of internal revenue, or commissioner under the Bankrupt law. The Union leagues in the Southern cities, being composed mainly of these classes, can- not be expected to become very popular with those who really desire to accept the situation, and to eee their section restored to ita original political status. Thus it appears that the radi- cals have hit upon the wrong kind of ma- chinery, and it will not work. There are other ‘roasons, perhaps, for the failure of the Union leagues in the South, and they are to be found in the inevitable discord between the races, which is manifesting itself by the unwilling- neas, in most instances, of the white agitators to admit the blacks into their councils, and the counteracting efforts of the nogro agitators, many of whom are men of great intelligence and acumen, to form exclusive black organi- gations, 6f a secret and, it is alleged, an oath bound character, in which the right to hold office, eit on juries, and exercise other newly acquired privileges, are not only vigorously asserted, but made the sine qua non of negro support of the radical platform; although the recent action of the colored people in Mobile, in declining to accept office, would seem to show a more sensible spirit in that class in this particular locality. ‘ To this mixed up condition of political soci- ety in the South may be attributed the misad- ventures of the radical programme, which seem to be gathering pretty thick about that party, and may leave them, after all, with an indis- posable elephant upon their hands, in the shape of negro suffrage. Our Maimed Soldiers. Throughout our States, and especially in New York city, we are constantly meeting with mon some of whom have lost an arm, others a leg, and others who have, in defending their country, been unfitted for gaining a liv elihood after being mustered out of the United States service. If anything were required to make a men disgusted with his country and its govern. ment this would be sufficient. On all sides of ‘us we find the men who staked their lives for the upholding of our nationality now blacking boots, peddling neckties, or frequently obliged, after saving the life of the nation, to beg of the cowards whose courage did not permit them to enter the field. “Beg or starve,” says the United States to her brave defenders, and beg or starve is forced upon them, while there are thousands of petty offices in the gift of the gov- ernment which might be filled by these maimed heroes whom the government loves to dis- honor. Not only is this the case with the sol- diers, but with the wifes and children of the dead men who, by yielding up their lives, stretched a bulwark of blood along the line of secession. Their wives are now, in hundreds of cases, supporting their families by washing, sewing, or in menial employments, while han- dreds more have, to the shame of the nation, died in almshouses, and some have even starved to death in their fraitless attempts to get the miserable pittance allowed them by the country in the form of a pension. We want such institutions asare found in the Old World for the care of our soldiers who have lost their limbs, and there is room for justice, not benevolence, in the treatment of the widows and orphans of those who have died on the battle field. Give us more legislation in behalt of justice and less in behalf of corrup- tion and contracts, otherwise the people will begin to make comparisons between monarchi- cal and republican governments that will not be favorable to the latter. The Crops. The accounts of the crops which we continue to receive from all parts of the country are of the most cheering character. If we do not have too much rain within the next fortnight the harvest will be one of the most abundant that has been known for many years. In the South the grain crops ‘promise to more than supply the wants of the population, # larger quantity of land being sown with cereals than is usual in that region. The importance of this fact will be appreciated. It will do more to forward the work of reconstraction than all the efforts that the politicians are making. As regards the country generally, the prospect brings with ita strong sense of relief. Speculators had driven the price of flour to such a point that the work- ing classes, in spite of increased wages, found it difficult to make both ends meet, The mono- polists have had their turn, and now will have to disgorge some of their ill-gotten gains. Unless they are sustained by the national banks in the effort to hold back stocks the price of flour must continue to tumble until it reaches the point at which it stood at the commencement of the war. If the national banks assist them in trying to arrest this downward tendency they will add to the disfavor with which they are already rogarded. Their aid in the matter could in any case be only temporary, and their managers will do well to reflect on the consequences to their own interests from the pursuance of so unpopular course, With abundant craps North and South 4 he difficulties which embarrass us in counec- tion With the South will vanish under the influ- ence a ‘his prosperous state of things, and if we can ox "!Y steer clear of external complica- tions it wit) take but a few years to relieve us from the loss! of taxation which now op- presses us. Maximitian and f,'¢ Ministere—Latercepted Letvers. In yesterday's Hutiat we published certain letters relating to the affains of Mexico, one of them from Maximilian to Lares, President of the Council of Ministers in Mexico; another from Lares to Maximilian, both, on the authori- ty of Minister Romero, declaret to be genuine. If these letters are what they pretend to be, then it is manifest that as far back as the be- ginning of February Maximilian was convinced of the hopelessness of the cause which he represented and of the worthlessness of éhe men on whom he was forced to rely. It seetus to us equally clear that the reason why the struggle was not then abandoned was less on account of any false pride or unworthy ambi- tion on the partot Maximilian than because he felt unwilling to abandon the men who bad acted with him to a fate which, it seemed to thom, it was impossible to escape. Pity it is that Maximilian did not take advantage of the opportunity which then presented itself of making good ‘his escape, and thus of leaving Mexico to settle its own affairs. But that he did not do so is not to be set down to any un- worthy motive, but rather to a chivalrous sen- timent which high-minded men everywhere will be willing to acknowledge. If Maximilian ever finds his way back to Miramar, we advise him without delay to give to the world a full and faithful account of his Mexican experi- ence. Unless we greatly mistake, such a work would win for him a greater and more enduring reputation than his briefand undignified tenure of the imperial crown. Ex-Gevernor Brown en Recenstruction. Ex-Governor Joe Brown, of Georgia, is evi- dently one of those men who understand what “taking time by the forelock” means. In his recent speech in Milledgeville he proclaimed himself in favor of any party which, after the admission of Georgia into the Union, should show the greatest disposition to stand by prin- ciples which would tend to restore the pros- perity of the South and the whole country: «In this he has set his foot dowa upon a very safe base; but he more wisely defines the position which Georgia and the whole South should oo- cupy when he says that in selecting a party for support in the future he shall be guided by none of the predilections or prejudices of the past, as the war had settled all the old issues upon which parties were based. Herein he refleota in a great m*asure the opinion of the best minds in the South, who regard the result of the war as a finality in matters of opinion upon the right-of secession and other questions arising out of it, but are not quite prepared to swallow radical dootrines any more than they are disposed to oling to the old democratic State rights idea, which has vanished with the war. It is a now party which must reconstruct the country, and that party is not to be found in the ranks of the radicals or the democrats, but must be constituted by the people, with a popular leader like General Grant at their head. When such a party presents itself par- tisanghip will have to give place to the broad expression of popalar will, and Governor Brown and the other prominent men of the South, by following its standard, will find themselves on the safest and quickest road to reconstruction. The Indian Scalp Dance. From the music that reaches us from the Pisias, from Colorado and Nebraska, it is evi- dent that the war dance has commenced, and several thousand wild savages have opened the ball. Army contractors, Indian agents, commissioners, and 2 tivusand other hangere- on, have at length succeeded in bringing the only too willing savage into open hostility with our troops and the frontier settlers. How the war was brought on is not now the quos- tion. Tho problem is how to finish it in the best manner. Certainly, as the whole frontier is aware, itcan no mere be finished by regular troops than could our late rebellion; and the only method is by the volunteer system, as proposed by the Governors of the frontier States. We believe in fighting Indians in the manner that they themselves fight, so that they will appreciato our efforts. It is a well known fact that they laugh at our regular army, which rarely captures or kills anything but sick squaws or tired out old men. Four or five frontier regiments of men who understand Indian warfare, and have an interest in seeing it ended at the earliest possible moment, are better than the whole regular army to place on the warpath. The latter are too fond of their comforts, and think that It is just as well to take it easy and close up the affair in two or three years as to hurry up. Let us have organizations such as Governor Hunt, of Colo- rado suggests, and we shall make short work of the redskins, The country then will not groan so heavily under the expenses.
