Mexico and the Indians—Two More “Twin Relics” for the Next New Party. There are two nuisances on this continent which it is time we should abate, both in respect to our material interests and in the discharge of ihe moral obligations of a civilized people. It was once prescribed as a remedy against the Indians that they should be wiped out. It seems likely that this prescription must become a policy, and it is in no way probable that the continent will be at rest until something very nearly like the same rule is applied to the Mex- icans as they now are. Mexicans and Indians not taxed are the ogres of the hour; and the party that shall come before the country with the abatement of the Mexican nuisance and the Tndian nuisance as the main points of its plat- form; that shall promise immunity to our prairie railway enterprises and security to settlers, with the show of keeping its promises, and that shall also guarantee the good conduct of our mongrel neighbors—such a party will have a better claim to the support of the Amer- ican people than had the republican party, with its famous and delusive fulminations against the twin relics of barbarism. Mexico is to-day just where she was in 1858, when, even under the presidency of the slow and careful Buchanan, the propriety of estab- lishing a torcible protectorate was weighed by the country and proposed in the Executive message to Congress, Anarchy then, as now, was supreme; but even then, though-of course no interest of an American citizen was safer than any other interest within Mexico, no such act was committed as the recent seizure of a passenger from the deck of an American ship. Interference in Mexican affairs was based then upon the broad grounds of international neces- sity. It was argued that the nation was simply & prey to its disorderly elements, and that having in its public conduct passed that line within which regard to the rights of others should have kept it, it must be restrained for the sake of public p2ace. Violent sectional dissensions within our own borde# and the war put an end to all that, and European Powers came forward, headed by France, and inter fered practically, pretending the same motives that urged our government, but actuated cer- tainly by very different ones. Our freely ex- pressed hostility to that interference, arising from want of faith in its purposes, made it ineffec- tive, and its relinquishment and the failure of the empire that it attempted to establish leave Mexico where she was, with, perhaps, the addi- tion to her troubles of a farther demoralization of her people— the natural consequence of war where the masses are depraved and without the tone and elasticity of a high moral character. It is doubtful whether the common struggle against imp rialism has given her any more than a temporary unity. Her peopleare ready once again to fall into parties whose differences can be settled by nothing less than mutual butchery; and as we are involved in these struggles morally and materially—as they trench’upon our rights no less than upon the sovereignty ofall law—we mus: debate seriously the necessity of taking up the Mexican question once more, just where the breaking out of our civil war compelled us to leave it. There is less difficulty in the case with the Indians; for, compared with Mexicans, even the worst Indians of the plains have # moral character, and some respect for obligations once solemnly taken. Indians are the superior race; for in Mexico the miscegenation of In- dian and Spaniard bas resulted in the produc- tion of a mass of mongrel wretches having the vices of both races with the virtues of neither. With the Indian we know what to count upon, and we need not be cruel if we are firm. We had to expect Indian troubles at this time, and could and should have provided against them. The last great advancing wave of civil- ization has filled the red man with natural alarm, and war is his only means of protesting against further encroachment. He is fighting now, not the corruption of Indian agents, but the Pacific Railroad, and we must deal with bim as one of the necessitics for the construc- tion of that road. All this will be easy when the question comes out of the pigeon holes and jobbery of departments and bureaus, and is treated directly by the people. It is time this was done. These questions of Mexico and the Indians have become of such national im- portance that they must take their place in the political issues of the day and be settled by the direct action of the people. The Fourth of July. On Monday last the Board of Aldermen passed a resolution directing the Comptroller to hold twenty thousand dollars of the city contingent subject to the celebration of the Fourth of July. The Board of Councilmen passed a resolution appropriating five hundred dollars to aid the echool children of the Twelfth ward and Randoll’s Island in celebrating the day. In New York, therefore, as throughout the land, Independence Day will be duly honored with its traditional observances, by bells and bonfires, illuminations, processions, oratory end cannon, Modern Idoas, We published yesterday an excocdingly interesting letter from our Florence corre- spondent relative to Italian affairs. It is curi- ous to observe what a struggle is now taking place in Europe between Church and Siate, and how the liberal ideas of the nineteenth century are breaking in upon the faulty points of the armor in which the Church of Rome has encased herself, The great effort of Ifaly to separate the spiritual from the temporal power is taking immense proportions, and even threat- ening to plunge the country into war in support of the advancing liberal sentiment. Still, the old giant fights hard, and, as will be seen by our correspondence, the power of the Pope and the bishops is far greater than we have heretofore imagined—so vast, indeed, that it controls the great house of Rothschild, even to the virtual breaking of a contract, so consid- ered by the Italian Minister of Finance, Ro hs- child declaring “that ho never intended to become the instrument of the Italian govern- ment for persecuting and ruining the clergy.” In the meantime a threat on the part of the Italian government to expose what they con- sidered the bad faith of Rothschild and Fremy is answered by a retort which threatens ruin to Italian credit, The government, at this, bow to the power of cash, and acknowledgo their impotency in contact with it. It is evi- dent that the Roman Church in Italy has gorged so much of the wealth of the country that the nation finds itself absolutely upon the verge of bankruptcy for the want of revenue from theee very estates which religious corruption has absorbed. For centuries the accumulation o! th ing until, as is | °* soathesaar acl as Man ain cdinety | this, It enters directly into competition with the case in Spain, the Church holds all the sinews of the State in mortmain, and hangs like a dead weight upon its progress. Taxa- tion of these estates means the ruin of the temporal power of the Church; as, once they are taxed inan equal ratio with other property, the Church can no longer hold them; for the curse which the spiritual power throws around temporal progress in Europe will force it, much against ils will, to advance with the age and seek modern advancement, if they would make their property self-sustaining. Baffied in the attempt to effecta loan on Church property with the Rothschilds, Ratazzi has negotiated a contract for that purpose with the houses of Erlanger, of Paris, and Scbhréder, of London, these houses having combined for the purpose. Fould and Oppenheim, it appears, cou!d not be engaged, being subject to the same influence that controlled the Rothschilds. There has been nothing which has yet come to our notice in this century which, like this, so betrays the mighty temporal power of the Catholic Church in its struggles against modern advancement. Its half-century contest against civilization in Mexico and South America has been rather outside of the track of observation, and, there- fore, less noticed; but here we have it, in its own great and original stronghold, threatened by a powerful blow which is struck at it be- cause the wants of the age make the impera- tive demand. From the first attempt to tax the Catholic Church property in A. D. 359 to the present time the ecclesiastical rulers have preferred to cut loose from the teachings of the Bible, bare the sword and pour their whole power into the spiritual as well as temporal effort to preserve their estates from contributions to the general welfare. The world is round, however, not- witastanding the religious decree to the con- trary, and it moves in Europe despite the tre- mendous break which the Church has put upon its progress, and which, in the removal, now threatens Italy with war. Foremost among the leaders Garibaldi is once more preparing for the field, and he shows his appreciation of the merits of the contest by such words as “All my gratitude is yours for the happy augury of contributing to level with the dust that taber- nacle of corruption and lies which calls itself the Papacy.” These words will go far towards opening the eyes of the Italian people as to the merits of the stragzle now taking place be- tween Church and State. The Roman Church, however, is powerful. We see it on every side. Our New York riots of 1863, when the Catholic Church did so much towards restoring order, the bold opposition and upsetting of Fenian- ism, and its wonderful success in swaying a Rothschild from his grasp, when his hands were already on its property, all indicate that the fight will continue so long as the people permit the accumulation of great uniaxed wealth by the clergy, or of the absorption of immense estates that imme- diately become so many curses upon the pro- gress of the country in which they are situated. We live in the days of the telegraph, steam- boat and railway, and the Pope and the ckrgy of Rome must open their eyes to these ficts, The great gathering under the shadow of the Vatican should now be moved to action by the ideas of modern times, The Pope should lift himself up to the level of the times; the great council acsembled at his bidding should aid him inaleap from the days of Constantine, who first united Church and State, and throw him into the orbit of the nineteenth century. This moment for the Catholic Church may be made the most glorious in her history. Shaking off the corruptions that political ambition first wove round her, and relying entirely upon the great moral sentiment of the age for fi support, she may crystallize about her eviry- thing that is high and puro in devotion; wiile, at the same time, if she steps aside as|the stumbling block to civilization, mankind Will no longer look at her as the greatest cirse upon progress. The world will then mara in accordance with the demands of the time; the Church of Rome, regeneraied, may nt the spirtual element alone; and the tempjral element of every nation will thereby reclive the most powertul religions impulse tovrd civilization and morality that has ever jyet blessed it. Squatter Sovereignty. The several railroads of the enst jide of town have seized and appropriated, wth- out any authority or legal warrant, the most valuable piece of lind in the fty, the open space at the foot of the Hrk, where the great avenue from the east rents all its tributary travel, empties into Broadyay. One of these lines runs ils cars almost intothe Heraty office, and others obstruct the wiole space with half a dozen cars standing they at all hours, Thero is such a maze of at this point, and such a jumble of coming going cars that other vehicles are entirely (hut out, and have the use of the dtreet at that pint only by the gccasional suferance of # car | driver more amiable than the rest. Thisis @2 | VICE PRESIDENT WADE CCRRECTS THE intolerable evtl The companies should be compelled to buy land, construct depots and run their cars into it, as they do at the other ends of their respective lines, The New Radical Organ. About the middle of Septomber the new radi- cal penny paper, which has been talked of for some months past, will, we understand, cer- tainly make its appearance. After such long Promise we are entitled to conclude that it will not disappoint the expectations of those inter- ested in it It will be edited by Mr.C. A. Dana, formerly managing editor of the Tribune, who, so tar as the executive details of journal- ism are concerned, brings to it fair share of experience. Of his political views it is not necessary for us to speak. It is to be pre- sumed that, extreme though ‘icy are, there must be a considerable number to sympathize with them; otherwise, so smart a business man as Mr. Dana would not embark ina speculation so hazardous. We have a radical morning paper which occupies a portion of the ficld intended to be covered by Mr. Dana’s labors, and this new paper will supply the evening demand for that kind of political reading. Between the two the good people of our city will have a plentiful dose of it. It remains to be seen whether they may not get more than they want. In that case one or other of the rival journals must go under. The new paper is to be a penny one. On a general question of competition that tact would not be in its favor. If it was intended to run it against the leading dailies it would fail in the effort, simply because it could not stand the expense. It does not profess to do one of them only. Its projectors are under the impression that they represent more correctly the views and aims of the party than the con- ductors of the sheet in question. If they are correct in this opinion they will succeed in spite of their modest beginnings. It may cost them a large outlay; but in these times people who start newspapers must be prepared for such Tisks, The Herat in the commencement led Off as apenny paper. At that timo enterprise sup- plied the place of capital; for enterprise was unknown to the press. We did not, like Mr. Dana, propose to run the machine on party tracks. We know better than that, We saw a field before us that was unoccupied, and we plunged confidently into it, An independent journal was then the great want of the coun- try. The appreciation of the fact and the con- sciousness of the ability tosupply it stood us in place of capital. Our success raised a host of competitors. About twenty penny papers were started, with more or less money to back them. Of all these the Sun alone remains. Our rivals endeavored to imitate us in all but the essential point. They forgot that it was to our independence and freedom from party ties we owed the greater share of our success, and they fell into the hands of political schemors. The result was, of course, failure. The oppor- tunity which they lost they can never recover. The Herstp occupies exclusively the ground which they might have divided with it, It is only possible for a new competitor to strike in among the party organs, and this merely where tho feeblenass or crotchets of the existing jour- nals afford a chance for rivalry. Thie is the opening which Mr. Dana and his associates believe they have found. It remains tobeseen if they are correct in the conclusion. ‘The Hangarian Coronation. In yesterday’s Herat we published a long, able and exhaustive letter from the penof our special correspondent at Pesth, in which we have a minute and graphic description of the pompous ceremonial connected with the coro- nation of the Emperor Francis Joseph as King of Hungary. The substance of the letter formed one of our special telegrams, and was printed in the Heratp the second day after the event. Some were weak enough and envious enough at the time to question its authenticity; but this aside. The coronation pageant bas also in these columns been duly commented upon. Itis not, therefore, as a piece of news that we now call attention to our correspondent’s letter. Onur object is different. We call attention to it because it seems to us to be rather a striking exemplification of anew and improving feature of American journalism. If we speak of the merits of this letter we do go less in the inter- ests of the Hxratp than in the interest of all the leading journals on this side of the Atlan- tic, When it is remembered how far Pesth is removed and how difficult of access from the great European centres, we have said enough for American enterprise. But this is not all. At the outbreak of our great civil war, and for some time alterwards, the inefficiency of Amer- ican correspondents was astanding joke with our friends on the other side. It isso no longer. The enterprise which has of late been mani- fested has begotten a correspondence which will compare favorably with the best which can be shown on the other side. It is to be borne in mind, too, that the journalism of this country is as yet in its infancy. Greater things are manifestly in store for us. Tounage Duce on Yachts. Congress, in an act passed in 1848, gave the Custom House authorities power to license yachts to pass from port to port without going through the formalities of entering or clearing. ‘This was coupled with the conditions that they should take neither freight nor passengers for money, and, to insure compliance with the law, the owners are compelled to give heavy bonds to that effect. Notwithstanding the clearness of the intent thus indicated, tonnage dues to the amount of $50 each were claimed of the yachts that returned from the great ocean race to Cowes, and two of them, the Henrietta and Vesta, were compelled to pay them. As they carried neither freight nor passengers in the sense specified by the act, the exaction was plainly illegal. The matter has been appealed to the Secretary of the Treasury, who evidently knew nothing about it, and who no doubt will set it right. A decision so absurd could only have emanated from one of the superannuated clerks in the department, whose brains have gone wool-gathering, or got muddled in some other way. ‘THE DOMINION OF CANADA.

We must elevate the laborer, and give him a share in the of bis labor, The man who successfully solves that roblem will do more for the world than avy man that as lived in it since the days of Christ, I believe, how- ever, that the shadow of the great struggle ts upon us, and we must meet it, There is deep discontent the masses, and they will shortly demand that their condition made more comfortable, both in this country and England.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Renomination of Governor Chamberiain— Speeches of Ex-Governor Cony and Ex-Vice President Ha on Presidential Usurpation aud Obstruction of the Laws. Avavata, Me., June 27, 1867. 7 o'Clock P. M. Dologates of the republican party from all sections of the State of Maine assembled here in Granite Hall to-day, and nominated Governor Chamberlain as tho candidate to be supported at the ensuing eloction. Ex-Governor Samuel Cony presided over the Conven- tion, and made a brief speech. Upon taking the chair, having returned thanks for being elected as presiding officer, he continued as follows:—Wo assemble here to- day, the representatives of a powerful party, composed of individuals who, prior to its formation, had been the members of all the various parties bitherto existing in the Stete, but, prompted by love of country and the im- minently fearful peril with which it was threatened by traitors, casting to the.winds the cherwhed prejudices and minor differences of old times, they came togethor to protect and defend the nation.

The question is asked on every hand, “Will the Coming session be a long onet” and the re- plies most frequently given indicate the prevailing be- lief to be, that the session will be short, Tho membors already here, with one or two exceptions, have ex- pressed hopes that the business before (ongress may be speedily disposed of, and tne majority of the letters from members at a distance express decided opposition to a protracted summer session. Several morsbers have written that they will be in their seats when the roll called, but will not promise to remain to legislate upow ‘sny other question than that of reconstruction. The impression now exists that nothing more will be doue during the session than passing an act defining and pwr- fecting the Shellabarger-Sherman laws and voting an ad ditional appropriation to carry them into effect, It is well known bere, however, that the champions of impeach- ment are whetting their knives for anothor attack, and the friends of financial reformation are aiso on the qué vive for an expected opportunity, The Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee are in session to-day. Mesems. Boutwell, Williams, Lawrence, Thomas, Marshall aa@ Eldridge were present preparing a report for Congroas. The Lnterposition in Bebalf eof Maximilian.) The statements which have appeared im most of the newspapers of the country in reference to the action of England, France and Russia, in roquest- ing this government- to interpose again in behalf of Maximilian, have created a false impression.

In the course of the following day the Russian, French and English Ministers received sucees- sively from their courts telegraphic instractions to apply to the Secretary of State, requesting the United States government to exort its good offices once more to save - the life of Maximilian, Those gentlemen, It is stated, executed the mission confided to them with great zeat and ability, and received from Mr. Seward assurances that all should bo done that was possible to secure the object desired. Movements of the Greek Minister. Mr, Rangabi, the Greek Minister, continues to be the recipient of numerous attentions from government officials, diplomats and citizens. Mr, Rangabi enjoys = very high reputation as a aman and @ scholar, and he is also honored from the sympathy felt for Greece and Candia, At the Columbia College examination yes- torday Mr, Rangabi received a flattering ovation, the de- gree of Lu. D. having been conferred upon him. The feel- ings of regard entertained in this country towards Greece and her representative were fittingly expressed by the President of the college, The Minister also called apom and had a very interesting interview with General Grant, who manifosted quite a lively interest in the increasing power and importance of Greece. The Work of the Patent OMice. The work in the office of the Commissioner of Patents is still very heavy, and, if anything, is on the increase.
