They claim that they will ina fow days be again on Mexican soll allied with a powerful party, and under the lead of a powerful chiefiain. Steps were taken in Washington on Saturday evening to or- ganize,o flibustering band, to Join a party which It is believed is already nearly completed for a ‘raid on Mexico. The company, it w reported, isto be called Maximilian’s Avengors. Our special despatches this morning contain news of Genera! Custor’a command to the 6th inst. They were then tn Colorado, forty miles west of Fort Sedgwick, ‘and bad had several lively engagements with the enemy, fm which they had been uniformly victorious The previous reports of the death of Custer and of » defeat Daving deen sustained by bis command are therefore watrue. Tho Indian massacre at Fort Phil Kearny, according to information received at the Department of the In- terior, wasin consequence of the issue of an order by the military authorities to establish posts on the Mon- tana road about Powder river without the consent of the tribes having first been obtained.

One white man was killed and eight wounded, and eight negroes were wounded, three of them mortally. The Lara Society of German singers was to have held & festival, at Landemann’s Park, yesterday, for the commemoration of some unknown anniversary, and, for this purpose, lager beer being indispensable, they bad arranged to have their drinkables transported to the spot eariy in the morning, 80 as to counteract the effect of the excise law. Superintendent Kennedy, however, @aw a large conspiracy to violate the sacred enactmant te (bis newly invented ruse, and issued an order on ‘Saterday night preventing the transportation of Nquor through the streets on-Sanday. He then posted a heavy guard of Metropolitan police at the park to prevent the riot which be probably anticipated im cons-quence of the order; but the Lara Society arranged matters very quietly by postponing the picnic, and mothing was affected under the new order beyond the readering of considerable inconvenience to several dray- men who were hauling empty casks through the streets, fand the granting of a holiday to the police squad, who cracked theirheels im the park all day long in blissful Adloness Advices from Utab state that three of Brigham Foung’s twoive apostles, the president of the dozen among them, have become apostates and have been cut off from the burch. The question ef reconstruction in the South is calling forth opinions and communications from most of the old Leaders in that section, many of whom held bigh rank fn the civil or military service of the Confederacy during {ts brief existence. The latest efusions are from Geno fal Barkedale, an old soldier, and Governor Perry, an ld politician. The former, like his comrades, Long- etrect, Jef Thompson and others, favors reconstructing a rapidly as possible, while the latter, like B. B. Hill, ‘of Georgia, and others, opposes reconstruction under the few, and votes for no convention, It is moticeable fact that the old soldiers and the old politicians are rangiag ‘themselves 08 opposite sides of the question. Information has been received by the Treasury De. partment that the mission of Mr. Wells, the Commis- sioner of Revenue, to Great Britain, for the purpose of gathering facts concerning the working of the revenue syrtom In that country, is meeting with complete ec- coms, the government exteading him every facility and the manufacturers giving him every opportunity to make necded observations, even allowing him to take copies of their pay rolis and have unreserved communi- cation with their workmen on the subject, ‘The State Department learns from the American Con- sul at Port Lous, Mauritius, that the fever is prevailing to an alarming extent im that island, thirty tnourand persons having died since the 10th of February.

Recenetraction—A Practical Bil! and a Shert Session. . Congress seems inclined to practical purposes and moderate views, and its tone on the impor- tant subject that has: induced the summer ges- sion is such as will be satisfactory to the coun- try at large. From the strength of its position we might have expected nothing leas than the wise moderation exhibited in its persistent re- fusal to even hear the extravagant proposals and plans already sketched out by the revo- lutionary dreamers and agitators, who find that their occupation will be gone it they are not permitted to excite the country on some theme newer than the nigger. By distinctly shelving the class of visionaries who become dangerous only when Congress, by listening, sends their wildness to the country with a quasi endorse ment, it gains the confidence of the people, and will carry with it in whatever it does the moral support of the whole nation, The people are disgusted with Congressional philosophy aud want no more of it, whether it come from Sum- ner, Wade or Stevens, whether itbe a new nigger notion or agrarianism in any shape. They want business, and a Reconstruction bill that will settle the country and do away with all possible vetoes by interpretation. It is said that the House Reconstruction Committee has already agreed upon a bill and will present it to-day. The outlines given in- dicate a practical measure. Kjrst, wo have a declaration that the military government is supreme in the Southern States, and that all other existing governmomts are superseded, or if continued are continued by the authority of the commanders and subject to them for all purposes; second, a clause declaring valid all acts of the commanders done under the laws ‘hitherto passed ; and, third, an obliteration of the Attorney General’s iaterpretation on the question of the registry ef voters, making the law the guide of the regiatry boards and giving those boards the power to erase any names al- ready on the roll in cases in which there is reason to believe thé oath was improperly taken. Another clause puts it out of the power of the President to remove at his own caprice any one of the military commanders. This last clause, taken with the previous vote sus- taining the. generals, indicates how strongly they stand before the country and how fully it approves of the energetic, earnest and conscientious course they have pursued in the discharge of their high duty. With their acts thus approved and their position made more positive, they will doubtless go forward in their fmportant labors immensely encouraged and strengthened by such unequivocal evi- dences of the national confidence. Judging from only this outline of the bill, it is intended to present, it seems, sufficient for the purpose, and it should pass with only enough debate to try the strength of its several provisions, that we may be sure it will not be so easily broken through as the former bills were. Such a bill passed, the main business of the session would be done, and Congress should adjourn with as little delay as possible, Above all, it should waste no time and give occasion for no violent harangues or President- making schemes on the topic of impeachment. With o satisfactory law and the commanders out of his reach, the President will be quite unable to throw any fresh obstacles in the way of reconstruction; and as impeachment would be, therefore, unnecessary, even the discussion of it in Congress would do evil by stirring fresh agitations and excitements to disturb the commercial and other relations of the country with European Powers. The National Banke—Congrese and the Cur- rency. Twenty millions a year, devoted from the national income to a sinking fund, would wipe out the national debt im @ century. No one advocates, however, such a use of any portion of the national wealth; for men are unwilling to add any additional burden to those already borne by the country, even for 80 good a pur- pose. Yet this very sum—twenty millions a year—is now actually given away, not to wipe ont the national debt, but simply to enrich the lucky politicians who own and run that magnificent fluancial machine, the national ‘bank system. There never was each a piece of jobbery and robbery, such open plunder of the people, in the finances of any other nation under the sua. Common people understand common finan- cial problems very well. If man goes into & shop and buys © coat, there is never any doubt in hie mind as to which way the.money ball go that changes bends on the occasion. If one rides up town im the cars he knows that he is to pay six cents, and never has any notion that the six cents is to be paid to him. Horses land wagons hired for drives on the road are paid for by those who hire them. Whoever heard of gne using « horse all day for his plea- sure and then declaring ot night that tho owner should pay him the amount of the hire, and not be the owner? Though the people see all this clearly in common transactions, they be- come blind to these same points when they occur in national finances; and it is the actual practice of the government to reverse all plain problems of buying and eelling, as directly as if they should make the seller pay the buyer. National banks Have the full use of their capital in their ordinary daily business, and by their transactions with their customers thoy get their interest and profit on it; yet on this same capitel on which they are geting their datly interest and profit the government is paying them another full interest, and the people endure a burden in the taxes of twenty millions ® year for this iniquitous purpose, Be ee \' gold transferred t6 the government, the NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 8, 1867. Paper circulation is, in the firat place, based on the fact that gold isim the vaults; and the Paper is not valuable in itself, but is only valuable as it represents that gold, and the paper is only good if one may have the gold on demand. Bui now the gold is wanted to defend the nation, is drawn out from the vaults, and a national promise to pay, pledging all the property in the land, is put in its place, and in consideration of this the nation makes 8 law relieving the banks of the necossity of Paying specie on demand. It is a fatr and equal exchange of one article of value for another, Thus the banks are enabled to keep their representative circulation afloat, to get their regular interest and ‘profit; yet at the same time they require interest from the nation as if it had not given « full equivalent for the metal loaned. If the banks are entitled to interest on the future destiny was to be linked to Prussia or to Denmark. A year has since elapsed, and the promise then made and embodied ia the treaty bas not been fulfilled. Not only so, but many of the inhabitants, impatient of delay and opposed to Prussian rule, have abandoned their homes and crossed the Danigh frontier. Against such and all who would imitate their example the most ve measures have been adopted. It is ly becoming more manifest that Prussian statesmen know of no rights but the rights of Germans, and can afford even to be oblivious of these except when they contribute to Prussian aggrandizement. Prus- sia, with her grasping greed and high-handed tyranny, threatens to overreach herself and ignobly to undo much of what she has nobly done. She is doubtless more than a match for Denmark; but Denmark has many friends. A double alliance connects the reigning houses of Denmark and Russia; @ Danish princess is the prospective Queen of England and the “mother of her kings that are to be.” Nor is Napoleon indifferent. It was at his desire that this special article was insorted in the Prague treaty. Prussia will no doubt consider well before she allows to come down upon her the combined strength ‘of England, Rusia ond France. It would bo strange if Napoleon should yet obtain—ovtain evem with the con- sent of England and of Russia—the long and the ardently coveted Rhine provinces. Strange, certainly, but who sball say it is im- possible? Thon, indeed, his mission would be complete, and he might with justice proclaim himseltSthe man of destiny. Not to speak for the present of the Eastern and other questions, we have said enough to jrstify us im concluding that, though there is no immediate and pressing cause of war, there are ominous specks on the distant horizon which prevent us from misunderstanding this proposed reduction of the French army and which bar the prospect of long continued peace: im Europe. government is entitled also to interest for what alt has given as the equivalent of the gold, and which evidently answers the same purpose as th, basis of their representative circulation. @°ongress should destroy this game and ewa\ this grand piece of demoralizing job- bery| by the immediate passage of a law depxiving the banks of the privilege to issue’ | notes on its bonds, and cancelling the bonds themselves by issuing an equivalent amount of greenbacks in their siead.

Nasuvitix, Tenn, July 7, 2867, John Trimble, candidate for Congress, and two candi- dates for the State Legislature, all radicals, had an ap. Pointment to speak yesterday at Franklin, Williamson county. A large number of persons, white and black at- tended, among the latter, members of aloya! league, ebout eighty in number, who paraded the streets in regalia, with @ band of music, and armed, csvssionsily Griag a salute, The candidates wers heard without interrup tion, the speaking lasting until about half-past four’ o'clock. Subsequently, however, Trimble, when not Present, was denounced on the public square, and one of the legislative candidates badgered for something he had eaid. Much excitement’ arose, and symptoms of Ill fecling between some of the whites and colored Leaguers were developed. The Leaguers retired in bad humor toa grove, where they were fol- lowed by ason of Dr. Cliffe, who in a conciliatory ad- -dross advised them te disperse. They agreed to do this, and marched back to their ball, By this time aight came on, and after stowing sway their regalia, &c., they left the hall and returned to the Padlic square, where a collision immediately oceurred. It is alleged that thoy weré fired on by a party of white and colored conservatives, a man named Cady, a livery stable keeper, firing the first shot. Tho fire was instantly returned, The affair lasted but s few moments —baif a minute, perhaps, There appeared to be a vol- fey im attack and a scattering reply, resulting in the death of Cady, who was shot through the heart, and the wounding of eight whites and eightecn biacks. Three of the latter are mortally wounded, Some of the wounded Diacks are conservatives. The radical blacks were much exasperated, and threatened to return and renew the fight; bus Dr, Ciifle wnterposed, and prevailed upon them to desist, Ap official investigation will be necessary to fix the responsibility for this murderous affair. On one hand it is charged that the colored Leaguers were armed, were menacing in deportment and desired a fight; on the other that they had been previously and repeatediy assaulted and they were armed in self defence, and the attack evinced a preparation and design to do so, It was apprehended that the difficulty would be renewed to-day, but all is quiet, Acompany of the Forty-Afth rogulars left this place this afternoon for Franklin, to maintain quiet. The affair is deplored by all parties. On Saturday one of a company of militia, stationed at Tullahoma, was shot and killed by Dewitt Bonnet, a captain in the late rebel army. Inspector General Hunt thes taken steps to preserve the peace there and to havo the murder investigated. THE INDIAN WAR.
