Some men are popularly supposed to have come into the worid “with « silver spoon’ in their mouths,” and Fortune and the god of rogues, as their sponsors. Everything they touch is converted in‘o gold or its equivalent in greenbacks, But this silver spoon (except probably in the cass of Genera) Butler) is only natural shrewdness and knowing when to suw and when to gather in the harvest, when to invest and when ¢0 back out of a shaky con- cern. The grcater number of our successtul men in politics, Hterature, commerce and traffic bave made their fortunes’ through euch means. Conspicuous among them is Thurlow Weed, who-e versatility and ex:raordinary success in divers ways of making s living are indisputa- ble. Some of his ventures were of the most risky kind, but they turned out successful in the enl. In the dyys of “the good old Phig party,” to quote the language of the venerable H. G., Thurlow Weed was political State barber and bung out h’s parti-colored pole under tho shadow of th» State capitol. Thi'hor resorted all the Jeading politicians of the day, and the astute shaver lulled them with his persuasive eloquence as ho removed the bdrisiles trom their chins, But in shampooing and cropping the locks of power from the heads of some of those political Samsons, T. W. was @ per- fect Delilah in breeches, As his barber's shop was not self-supporting, he charged each of his customers the usual amount, preferring, however, to take it out in trade. The barber's shop drove a stirring business, and the pro- prietor waxed migity and great in the land. We must not pass over his fierce denunciations of Masonry and his identification with the party opposed to tho alleged influence in public affairs of the order of Free and Accepted Masons, Here fortune stood to him again, and pushed him into the Legislature, where @uccess was ever in atienlance on bim, par- tioularly in committee rooms. In the latter resorts his tonsorial abilities stood him in good steal. Few of his fellow members escaped his razor and lobby soap. Then came his con- nection with the Albany Journal, and for many yeara he was like the little joker-—“now you see him; now you don’t see him.” Another ex- amp!e of bis business talents was shown at the commencement of the rebellion. The govern- ment wanted s dozea or more store ships to be anchored off Fortress Monroe. Mr. Weed, fired with patriotism, stepped boldly forward to the rescue of his country and produced the necessary vessels. Tobe sure, they were not new, and old age had come upon them with evident symptom: of palsy and decay. But the patrio‘ism of Mr. Weed stopped at no obstacles, and he presented the ships as an offering on the altar of liberty, merely charging saMoient brokerage to pay expenses. We p.ss over his services to the government, in presenting it with the ship Roman and the steamer Cataline, for « trifling consiteration. But even these acts of patriotism did not escape the ‘sneers of ill-natured people, and hints were thrown out that bran new ships could be bought for half the money charged for brokerag>, and that the ship Roman was a tub and the Cataline a con- spirator against the safety of those on board. But Mr.. Weef folded his arms and looked down on the cavillers with sovereign contempt. His untiring efforts in behalf of free wool and free whiskey are recordd on the pages of the history of his country. But the crowning suc- cess of his life has been in the fron-clad business. The Japanese government, to be sure, grum- bled about some transactions they had with parties in this country about fron-clads which they paid for and which turned out to be shaky old hulks; and the United States government had to compromise matters by presenting the ram Stonewall to them. The Japanese, how- ever, did not spscity any one in: particular in the iron-clai trade, and the ex-barber soon found himself on the top of the wheel of for- tune. After piloting the Dunderberg through the Narrows, on her way to France, with a set of resolutions, in one of which he says he cannot spare Mr.. Webb away vory long, perhaps ‘because there are more iron-clads wanted, Mr. Weed may be reg irded in the iron-clad business as Knox among batters, or Brewster among coach repositories. A large and varied assort- ment of iron-clads, or wooden vessels strongly resembling them, is. always on. hand at his establishment. Governments and individuals supplied at reasonable rates. Old iron-clads taken in exchange. of those who dispute its sovereignty. This ex- travagance of party hate, this sanguinary in- tolerance, this carrying political or other dif- ferences to the last extremity of human fury, is the real ovil, and this is the sign that barbar- ous elements prevail in the national life; for to ‘D8 moderate in success, to refrain from the in- dulgence of navional revenges, to control savage instincts with reason, are the evidences of civilig ition. These indicate 4he greatness superior to that which takes cities; but a3 the Mexioans have only bought cities they can scarcely understand either. Truly civilized peoples, races capable ofe) properly comprehending freedom, do not en- deavor to convince men of their errors by the arguments of the executioner. Indeed they sin, if at all, at the other extrem>. iWations of the AnyloSaxon race have carried this pridciple of tolsratinn for national differences 60 far that, even though they go to the extent of war and rend the nation with civil strife, it is barely looked upon as a puniah»ble offence, muon less acrime. In tho great redellion of 1640 the English psople beheaded their sovereign as a point of political prinziple ; but at the close the triumphant party they treated merely ag an error and overlooked as auch the opposition that had kept the nation in arms for years. That is the true Anglo- Saxon way. Our own case is even a more not:ble instine '; for we find it not only impos sible to inflict death, but we cannot even esigb- lish in a court tho"principle that opposition to the government is a crime; an} only the more conspicuous few can be deprived of their prvi- legos atthe polls. From the M>xican stand- point this is due to want of stam’na; but the Mexicans will have to fight as hard in at least one batile as the Anglo-Saxon race has foupht in a thousand before such a charg? cin com> from them with any chance of beng heard. The truth is, that this Mexican civilization is the civilization of the Latin race. We eee it flowering at its best in the mutual proscrip- tions and murders of Marius and Sylla, and concoentra'ing its whole poli'ical wis- dom around the one idea that the safety of power lies in tho destruction of all mon lik-ly to oppes? it with success. It is the same civilization that has mae the his- tories, of Italy and of Spain such bloody r~- cords, and that ia the French revolution c ius*d every important vote in the convention to be followed by the guillotining of the minority. Mexico is in the fall enjoyment of this phase of the c’viiiz:tion of the Lanin race, and this civilization has bronght on ther>a reign of terror that is still far from it: bloody close. ideas are not dressed up in fro hy l-gal en- velopes of too dense a texture for the brain to penetrate, but in the clear logio of conviction, that says more in one line than Jobnson or Stanbery could crowd into six columna, Thé opinion of Gen»ral Grant, clearly stated, is, throughout, in favor of General Sberidan’s translation of the Reconstruction bill; and it is ® good sign for us that the forcivle intellect of our principal gencral bas been found by this correspondence on the side of the loyal States. We like the straightforward lun.uage of Sheridan in speaking ef the reasons for which he removed Governor Wells:—I feel as the people of t .c whole State feel—that we have got rid of an unprincipled Governor and the set of disreputable trioksters he had abou: him.” This says what the author of it means, and it is a proof, too, thit it means what the au‘hor a1ys. It is @ great pity that we cannot have infused into our legislative bodies a little of this frank- ness, We should then have more republican- ism, a better government and less legislation. Gene-al Grant hits the centre of ‘tho target when he ssys to General Ord:—“Tho law, how- ever, makes Di-trict Commanders their own in- terpret-rs of their power and daty under it; and in my opinion the Attorney Gene:al or mys?lf can no more than give our opinion as to the meaning of the law. Noither can en- force their views against the judgmont of those made responsible for the fathful execution of the iaw—the District Commanders.” This is common s2ns°, and bad President Johnson actd upon this view of the g-eit question we should not h:ve had the reconstruction process retarded and an extra session of Congress to screw down the brakes a little tignter, 69 that the people of the South can und-rstand what we mein. The more Mr. Johnson swings round the cirele the more danger tvere is of his flyiny out of hia orbit, or else, the gravitating power of Con:zress losing all control over him, he may, by sliJing off on a tangent, make a final swing. I. is a great misfortune to the country that the acts of the President force us to be more s-vere with the South than we bave any desire to be; and tie more the reconstruction of the coun'ry is retarded by the false position of the Ex:-ou- tive the greater the Sou'h wil suffer. It must be understood tiat the loyal States which have spout so much blood and treasure to preserve the nation intact are determined to have some return for the expendiiure, Lis our right to reorganize the rebel territory and rid 1 of some of the evils that might continue to curse our progress were we to adm't it to the equal en- joym ‘nt of the authority it attempted to usurp. These evils once eradicated, the South steps into the Congress of the nation and rules its destinies in common with us ; bu! it mustcome pur-e | of the disease thit nearly disiategrated the Unit -d'States, Mr. Johnson must under stand this, But it is evident that thos» words which convey an idea to a man of ordinary intellect are not potent enough to act on the dull brain of our President. The nation, in good solid English, told Mr. Johnson what was is will at the last session of Congress, Robin- son Crusoe, bowever, finding that he could not launch his canoe in the loyal tide, called in his man Friday, whose opinion on such weichty matters appears to have confounded his master and rained his hopes. The people of the North, the great loyal ele- ment which has fought out this contest with such terrible earnestness, are disposed to ga‘her some results from their sacrifices, They endorse the clear-beaded and laconic explan:- tions of the reconstruction act by Grant and his generals; and now, through Congre:s, find- ing that the Chief Magistrate is not equal to his task, they are about to place the power in the bands of those national scrvants who are willing to do their duty. Trouble in Austrian Poland. In one of yesterday’s te'egrams we had it announced .that a serious disturbance hid broken out in Gallicia, Austrivn troops sent to quell the disturbance had been defeated, and as the G llicians claim kindred with the so-called Slavic race, Russian intrigue was strongly suspected. It is impo-sible to discon- nect this movement in Gallicia from. the revo- lution which has swept with slow but cortain and irresistible force over the entire European continent. Modern thought and the appli- ances of modern science have been and in some places atill are at war wilh the senti- ments, customs and applixnces of ‘a semi- barbarous past. England, France, the Nether- lands, Prussia and, liter, Italy have yielded to the influeace; and in many substantial forms they are now reaping the reward. The press, the telegraph, the railway and the various* appliances of the steam engine have in one generation revolu- tionized Europe, and the strangth and promise of the different nationalities are in fair pro- portion to the presence of these modern forces. Of all the nations of Western Europe Spain alono is stationary or retrograde, and that because she remains persistently attached to the prejudices and practices of an obsolete past. Austria, since the battle of Sadowa, has: openly accepted the fact that the world marches on, and that her only hope of salva- tion is to march along with it Recent events prove that Austria bas been a gainer by her change of policy. Hungary, so. long @ thorn in her side, is now contented and loyal. A recent enactmest, by which ministers are declared responsible to the legislative body, proves that, cis Joseph is not unwilling to reign over tho various nationalities which com- pose dis empire as their constitutional sover- eign. Austria, however, has her difficulties in the East. Slavism and the Greek Church, which Ruasia is so industriously tarning to her own advantage, promise to be a fruit BROADWAY AND ANN STREET.

CONGRESS. In the Senate yesterday the report of the conference Committee on the additional Reconstruction bill was agreed to by a vote of 31 to 6. Mr. Sumner gave notice that he would ca!l up his Universal Suffrage bill on Mon- day. A Dill appropriating $1,648,777, for purposes of reconstruction, was ordered to lie upon the table, In the House, a motion to suspend the rules to enable Mr. Munger to 6ffer his resolution asking for an mn- Vestigation into the treatment of rebel prisoners in Union prisons during the war, was rejected. A resolu- tion offered immodiately afterwards by Mr. Washburne, to the effect that the House will entertain no resolution inplying other than humane treatment towards rebel prisoners, unless accompanied by a responsible charge that they were treated otherwise, was agreed to under a suspension of the rules by a vote of 108 to 16 Tho report of the Conference Com- mittee on the additional Reconstraction bill was then ‘agreed to by 111 ayes to 23 noes, So the bill now goes to the President. A bill appropriating $1,775,000 for the exponses of reconstruction was introduced under a sus- pension of the rules and passed. ‘The Reconstruction bill as passed by both houses was submitted to the President last evening. MISCELLANEOUS. Our letter from Camprachy, Mexico, dated June 15 gives an account of the adventures of Sania Anza after hhis capture at Sisal. Me was marched to prison through the crowd, which was clamorous for his immediate estruction. A report was current that his baggage had been broken open on board the Virginia, ana numerous articles of great value extracted. Our series of letters from Mexico CHy continue in detail the story of the siege, surrender and occupation of that place. The star- vation in the city previous to the surrender is depicted as terrible, twenty or thirty persons dying daily for want of food, Mr. Utterbourg, the United States Consul, gave notice to the American citizens that he would be com- polled to leave the city for want of provisions, and all of them that desired would be permitted to do the same, On the arrival of the liberals, Fatber Fischer, Maximilian’s private secretary, was orrested and placed in close confinement Generals Tabera and Vega ‘wore paroled, and the French Minister M. Dand, on ask- Sng for his passports was told that he could not depart the country ander any circumstances, as Mexico bad an account to settle with France. Rivera, the captor of Maximilian, has resigned, alleging as his reason that the ‘war is ended, but It is supposed that it was on account of his detestation of the wholesale executions at Queré- taro, All the remaining convents had been confiscated, Juarez has given orders that no more execations should ake place until his arrival tn the capital. Our Rio Janciro correspondence is dated June 8. It ‘was reported from the seat of war on the river Ptate that the Paraguayans bad been repulsed with great loss ‘on (he 2ist of May. It is further said that all hope of taking the present position of the Paraguayans has been given up by the allies, and thoy will probably attempt to ascond the Paraguay river by means of the fleet. A treaty had been entered into between Brazil and Bo- livia, by which the right of navigation of the tributaries to the Amazon is settled, The people of Rio Janeiro bad been fiercely excited over the wrongs received by a ‘woman at the bands of three of her brothers, and # riot had ensued in consequence. Two of the brothers were arrested, and the pelice and soldiers coming in contact ‘with the people a Sight took place, in which six persons ‘wore killed. Our Panama letter, dated July 2, says that the Colom- Dian Congress had been summoned by General Acosta ‘The P. ical Prespect in the South. The collapse of President Johnsoh’s South- ern policy was a death blow to the hopes of the Northern rump of the olddemocracy. The copperhe:d leaders of this p:rty, wth the suc- cess of the President’s restoration procramm>, counted confidently upon the restoration of their old Southern political balance of powsr. Quite as confident, too, appeared the fire-eating school of leading Southern politicians tht in a short time, with the restoration of the Bour- bons, things would be reinstated subst in‘ially as they wera before the war; that the South would again control the government in man- aging the nominations and elections of the democracy as of old, and that even i) regard to negro slavery the institution wou!d be sub- stantially re-established in th» subj ction of the black race to a system of peonage or a coolie system, utterly ignoring the negro in polii al affairs except as an element to be counted for white representation. Such, we say, were the estimates of Southern fire-eating politicians and Northern copporhead politicians of the old Bourbon democracy, rest- ing upon Mr. Johnson’s chirming policy of Southern restoration. Mr. Johnson himself, we dare say, shared in these deiightfal Bourbonic calculations. But the reconstruc ion plan of Congress intervening, scattsred them to the four winds of heaven. They are all gone. The last ghost of a chance of a Bourbon resto- ration vanished into thin air with the rocon- straction bills of Gongress. Th» old Southern democratic balance of power being thus ex- tinguished, the Northern rump of the old de- mocratic party must go the way of all created things. It is defunct, end it will soon go into the political graveyard where lie the remains of the old federal party, the old republican party, and the anti-Masonic, whig and Know Nothing parties, and there will be a recon- struction of parties, North and South. First, however, under these Southern reson- struction laws of Congress, from all the resul's before us, and all the signs of the times of the practical working of those laws, the republican party, with the solid nezro vote and a consid- erable and very active portion of the white vote, will most probably carry six, seven or eight of the ten excluded Southern Sta‘es in carrying them through the appointed ordeal of reconstruction. The republicans will thus, perbaps, secure seventy or eighty of about one hundrea of the members of the lower House, which, it is calculated, will come from the rebel States, with the addition of those two- fifths heretofore excluded in the counting of the people for representation in Congress. Thus the prospect is that the republican party will be immensely strengthened in both branches of Congress with the reconstruction and restoration of the outside rebel States, But with these acquisitions of strength the work of disintegration and of a reorganization of parties will begin. The negro question being settled and out of the way, there will be a new division of parties on the great money question, involving banks; bonds, tariffs, taxes, and everything else. Upon this great and all absorbing money question all existing party lines will be wiped out and new lines will be Mexico and Its Moral Position Before the Civilized World. Mexico is so far disgraced by the recent acts of her recognized government and the apparent assent of her press and people that she has for‘eited all title she may ever have had to resvect or sympathy. Surely a people have sounded all the depths of dogradation when their chosen administration leads the way and sets the example in those excesses that it is the first province of government to moderate, and prevent, and when the only utterance of the masses that can make itself heard is exul- tation in thit shame. Governments cannot with impunity give themselves up to factious slaughterings; they cannot steal the livery of the law to cover the murders of prrty passion, and then plead that they had provocation in the evil done by others. Beyond all doubt the intervention was guilty of similar acts—the French followed the same course with terrific cruelty and to their deep diszrace ; their acts moved the execration of the world, and they were denounced both in the United States and in Europe in phrases that men did not stop to qualify with “ifs” or “buts.” Legislative bodies in Europe discussed them, and the United States addressed the government of France on the subject. In fact, much of our sympathy for the republican cause originated in our disapprobation of those acts. They were terrible blunders and terrible crimes on the part of the French; and the same terms must describe the same acts when committed by the liberals, Indeed, the same acts are so much worse in them as their standard is higher, since they profess to be the party of freedom and the other was only a party of power and plunder. So far from the crimes of the French being a fair plea in justification of the crimes of the liberals, the latter are by this defence convicted of doing what they had ‘themselves reprobated, and their guilt is seen to be deeper since their protest against the imperial massacres had shown that they could see and appreciate the ruinvus criminality of such acts, We will set aside entirely the case of Maxi- milian, admitting for the time that his pres- ence In Mexico was not defensible, that he never had any right there, and that his death was a consequence of his own negligence or foolhardiness in remaining after the departure of the only armed force adequate to his defence. We will also set aside the idea that respect for the request of the United States should bave controlled Mexico, sinco it is denied that she was under any obligation to us, though no Mexican champion has yet shown how the liberal causé could have been successful if the position taken by the Amer+ . Ear! Russell on tho Irish Church. The motion brought forward by Earl Russell in the House of Lords on the 24th of June, in favor of a royal inquiry as to the nature and amount of. the property*and revenues of the Established Charch in Ireland, with a view to their more productive management and their more equitable application for the bene- fit of the Irish people, is an important sign of the times. The noble Earl foresees that the great change to be anticipated in the entire basis of the construction: of the House of Commons will lead to an inquiry into what is amiss in British institutions, with view, more- over, to: subject them to a thorough amend- ment. We deems it wise in Parliament to look these things in the face, to see what is ahead, ‘and make some provision. against the storm. Especially would he counsel provision against the revolutionary effects that may be wrought by what short-sighted politicians style the “sen- timental wrong,” which oocasions the discon- to convene within forty days from the 234 of May, the | can people had not forced tho withdrawal of fants of the proclamation, A series of experments in | thirty thousand French soldiers—enough men to | established, which will transfer the helm of the | ful source of annoyance, though om | tent of the Irish at seeing one-seventh of the diving for pearls with @ submarine boat, the Explorer, | whip all the armies that Mexico ever mustered. | ship of State from New England to the great | smaller scale, to Austrian as well as people in possession of all the revenues of the had proven aniformiy successful.

Earl Russell's plan for promoting so desira- ble @ consummation is one in which he things thore are to be found many pefsons and avon some minister of the Es‘abtished Church whe would see no Songer any profanation or im- piety, namely, ena.*wing tho Roman Catholie Church, provided tuat the revenues of the Eu tablisbed Caurch wore set in any way affeoted This p'an would 6 immeasurably eu- perior to the proavnf unjust sys- tem. But if Earl Russell had thoroughly studiel the voluntary system a8 suco- cessfully in operation in the United States he could not have failed to anticipate the stil more sweeping measure of reform which the fature has yet in store for Great'Britain. He would have boldly proposed the abolition ef all religious en iowments by the State, the coms fiscation of Church property, and its applioa~ tion to the reduction of the national debt and the amelioration of the condition of the impev- erished olasses—in a word, the total separation of Church and State. The time is speedily apy proaching when in every country the voluntary, system of religious denomizations will be adopted—whon all will enjoy, without State interference or State patronage, equal freedom to worship God, and Church officers, practising what they preach, and remem-! bering that their kingdom ie not. of this world, will lay. up treasures in Heaven, “where nelher moth mor rust’ doth cerd rupt, and where thieves do not bréak through and eteal.” Meanwhile, it would be an im- mense-stride in the right direction if the British government were to equalizs-the dis- tribution of the enormous revenues of the Es- tablished Church, so far, at least, that an Irist archbishop, with the cure of scarcely a single foul besides bis own, should no longer receive alarger income than the Archbishop of Caa- terbury, and that the princely income of the latter prelate, for instance, or any other equally’ well paid prelats, might be devoted to the au p- port of a few scor: of starving curates. A French Fleet tor Mexico, By the cable we are informed that it is the intention of the French Em- peror to despatch a fleet of war vessels immediately to Vera Cruz to demand the French Minister, Mr. Dané, who, it is sap- posed, is a prisoner in the hands of the Mexi- can republic. If it be the intention of France, backed by Austria and other Powers, to reopen & war against Mexico, it will be impossible: for the United States to look quietly on and see ® neighboring republic crushed by the on- slaught of European monarchy. We shail be forced to order General Grant to cross the Rubicon and make 4 final and bold stand in assisting Mexico to fight out on her own goil the grand battle which Europe is apparently. determined to wage for the overthrow of the progressive civilization of this continent, ‘The Crops and Business of the Country. The country is just now in this anomalous condition, that while the goverament appre- hends a deficiency in the revenue, and is likely te be embarrassed in consequence, the trading and commercial -interests are doing very well and are on the eve of a great revival. “Every< where the crops promise an unusual, abun- dance in grain, corn, hay, fruit, and even ia cotton, compared with any year since the late war commenced. The mey suffer’ through the gross mismanagement of the Trea- sury, through the robberies and frauds. in the: revenue, as we have heretofore shown, and may even come to the verge of bankruptcy, but the resources and progress of the country are euch that business generally will be prosperous, Political economists and even some statesmem may eee in this an anomaly and a problem that they have not heretofore understood. Theyy have been in the habit of associating the pros- perous condition of a national treasury with the commercial or trading prosperity of country, and vice versa. With us at the present time this theory is entirely reversed. We have abundant crops and a. healthy state of trade, with the best prospect of a good time coming, while with the Treasury all looks gloomy. The truth is, the vast and varied resources of this ! mighty continent, developed as they are by aa. energetic people, are independent of and can-: not bo seriously checked by the financial! agency of the Treasury Department It is! possible for the government to be bankrupt while the people are prospering in their busi- ness. * _ At the time the war commenced and in the early days of it a vast amount of produce, and of cotton, particularly, was brought out which astonished the world. Hardly any one had an idea of these latent and reserved riches, They proved immensely valuable at the time. As the war progressed, however, production and the means of getting at it were checked. For several years we felt the pressure of this state of things; but now we are rising above it, and are returning to our normal condition. How different is our situation from that of England! There they have reached the limit of production, and are governed by an artificial financial system. At one time the rate of in- terest at the bank is ten per cent, and a few months after, as at present, it is only from two to three per cent. The slightest disturbance there creates a great change and produces. serious effects throughout every branch of business and every class of society. Here the mass of the commymnity and business in genoral would be affected very little, Wf at all, from similar causes, because our well being rests upon a more solid foundation—the vast and varied productions of « great continent: Yee- terday, for example, there was skipped from this port for Europe in the Erin, Sexonis, City of London, and Ville de Paris, "upwards of three million two hundred thousand dollars in gold, and this will mot be felt in the great business transactions of the country. Ten times as much would not. The gold and stock jobbers in Wall street may try to get up ® son- sation for gambling purposes, but the shipment of this apecie, on, as we said, ton times es much, cannot materially affect the business of the country. Im England the drain of a few' millions of specie creates panic ; here it is of little or no eonsequence. With a sufficient government. eurrency and with the ordinary and natural development of our wonderful resources, the people can prosper when other nations rank, or whon Mr. Secretary McCullooh may find his Treasury empty.
