THE CITY. ‘The Board of Councilmen met yesterday, when a com- munication was received from the Mayor vetoing the Wesolution granting permission to the Harlem Railroad Company to use dummy engines between their freight ‘end passenger depots in this city, on the grounds that the route to be traversed lies through the heart of the city, where the lives of persons would be endangered, the public suffer inconvenience and the value of property ‘be depreciated. : 4& A month or se ago, Mr. Rufus Lord, the victim ia the colebrated Lord bond robbery, received from an un known source $1,400,000 of the bonds that bad been @tolon, It has now been ascertained that they were wont to him through the firm of James G.

Republican ML South-Only Ouo Course for the Southern People. We published yesterday a circu'ar from the Republican Executive Committee of Congress which shows a remarkable degree of zeal, ac- tivity and success on the part of said commit- tee in behalf of the republican party in all the ten States of the five Southern military districts, The committee has the names of twenty thou- sand loyal persons in the South to whom doc- uments are regularly sent, and the list is belng daily angmented. The committee’s correspond- ence is very extensive, hundreds of letters being received weekly from all parts of tho South, It has a republican organization and agents at work in every Southern Stato; Union League councils in all are being rapidly formed. and a largely increased number of in- “TURNISBE.S2, white and colored, could be put in the field at onee, if the committee only had the funds. Hence this circular, in pursuance ofa resolution of @ late republican Congres- sional caucus, pledging the members on their return home to use their beat personal efforts to the work of raising money for the use of this committee. We have heretofore detailed the numerous powerful agencies and instrumentalities through which, within a few months, the re- publicans have organized a party movement in each of the ten unreconstructed States, which, from all the facts disclosed, and all the signs of the times, promises to carry everything before it. We have in this Congressional committee only the central directory through which all these agencies and their operations are carried on. But how has this vantage ground been so rapidly and extensively gained? It has been gained by the republicans through the folly of the great body of the Southern whites of old democratic proclivities, in listening to and in adopting the foolish State rights counsels of Northern copperhead politicians. These per- nicious politicians had much to do in leading the South into the path of rebellion, and during the war and since the war their good offices as peace makers have brought only disappoint- ments and disasters upon themselves and their followers. The consttiutional amendment which was first offered by Congress as a basis of Southein restoration would have answered for all the other rebel States as well as for Tennessee, had they only availed themselves, like Tennes- see, of the easy conditions thus lald down. Unfortunately, however, under the encourage- ment of President Johnson and the copper- head leaders and organs of the North, all the ten remaining rebel States, from Virginia to Texas, indignantly and defiantly scouted what they called these usurpations by Congress of the constitutional rights of the States and the people. The people directly concerned, who ought to have known detter, stupidly consented to follow those howling dervishes for the constitution whose broad and dusty high road is the road to ruin, Thus, with the indignant rejection of the first conditions emanating from Congress by the ten excluded States, the two houses, in the exercise of their lawful authority, proceeded to impose the more stringent and astonishing terms of their Reconstruction bill, placing these ten incorrigible States under military supervision and under a programme of State reorganization, embracing universal negro suffrage—a perfectly appalling innovation and revolution from the old Dred Scott discipline. This was a severe ordeal; but as the rightful authority over this business belonged to Con- areas, and as Congress had manifestly resolved at last that there should be no more trifling with the refractory States wrested from the foreign government of Jeff Davis, the only course of sense and safety to those States was a graceful and prompt compliance with the terms of the supreme law. But again, still adhering to bad advisers and exploded party dogmas and claptrap, the Southern whites, from Virginia to Texas, to a great extent, still looking to President Johnson and the Northern democracy, and disgusted with negro equality, resolved to let the contest go by default “rather than be registered in the same book and on the same footing with niggers.” The results are that Southern registrations of lawful voters according to the acts of Congress show decisive majorities for the blacks over the whites in all the Southern cities and towns from Richmond to New Orleans. And as the Dlacks are en masse republicans, and as only the men registered can participate in the work of reorganizing said rebel States, we eee that the republicans, as matters now stand, hold possession as @ party of those States by default of their white population, who still adhere to the fallacies of Calhoun, Buchanan, Johneon, and the Northern copperhead press. The excluded States have surely had enough of this, Atall events, there is now no other way of political safety and material prosperity before them but the way marked out by Con- gress, and the sooner the people of these out- side States, of all croeds, parties and colors, act upon this conclusion, In order to bo re- atored to the Tnton os fagt ag posalble. the NEW YORK HERALD.

Our Mexican News, We publish to-day a batch of news which, like much that we have received from the Rio Grande, beara tho impress of rebel manufao- ture. Tho idoa that Cortina fs in that disirict is simply ridiculous. At last accounts he was detailed to whip out the remnant of the empire in Westera Jalwoo on the Pacific coast, Gomez is in Southwest ‘'amaulipas, with the force that lately held Tampico, Ortega, far from being able to head a revolution, is @ prisoner at Monterey in close confinement, and, with scarcely a friend, will soon be tried by a court martial. In Northern Mexico there are proba- bly not two thousand men under arms to-day. With reference to the imporial prisoners, thoy re treited with the utmost consideration by the republican government, and the moat liberal orders have been issued with regard to them. Far from Escobedo issuing such orders 48 are attributed to him, we are woll informed that the policy of the Mexican government with reference (o foreigners is now almost as liberal as our own. That government has ro- peatedly by its decrees, its acts, its announced policy in public speeches, shown a hearty good will towards any foreign clement that chooses to dwell peaceably within its borders, Prosi- dent Juarez himself at Zacatecas, not long since, at a public dinner, expressed himself as opening Mexico “to every foreigner who chose to make it his home—to concede all political privileges, even that of becoming President of the republic.” There appears to be a systematic effort in rebel circles to create false impressions with reference to Mexico—a determination to raise @ war cry under false pretences. The unanim- lty of the rebel press on this subject is very marked, All efforts of this kind will, however, prove abortive; for our own national wounds being as yet unhealed, we have no fancy for solving problems in political surgery for our neighbor. A new Congress has boen convened by Preai- dont Juarez, and we shall now have a new elediion for President. Juarez will, un- doubtedly, be elected; but it is quite certain that he will resign soon afer, as he is how sixty-one years of age, has been President nine years and is thoroughly tired of political duty. In electing him, however, the Mexican people will give the best possiole endorse- ment to all his acts and to the republic. Now, if ever, we should have some one to attend to our Mexican affairs, already too much buried in the shadow of our State Department. Tho Senate having on Saturday rejected the new ap- pointment for Minister to Mexico, and, having adjourned, the present Secretary of Legation, Mr. E. L. Plumb, becomes Chargé accord- ing to law. We hope that he will proceed im- mediately to his post and endeavor to untangle some of the knotty subjects which com- plicate our intercourse with our neighbor. Mr. Plumb is probably better posted upon all questions that relate to Mexico than any minister who could have been appointed. A long residence in that country, an acquaintance with the leading men, a knowledge of the language and many personal qualities that command respect are evidences that our Mexican affairs will not suffer if left entirely in his hands. We absolutely require some one there who will properly represent the United States at this crisis in the history of that coun- try. We may then assist in shaping its future in harmony with our own. The Austrian Mission—| Queer Diplomacy. The appointment of Horace Greeley as Min- ister to Austria was undoubtedly made with the concurrence of Mr. Seward, if, indeed, it was not altogether his act; for, besides that the President would scarcely name one to such a position without conference with the Secre- tary of State, the paternity of the nomination is put beyond all doubt by its queer features. Indeed, this is the most singular appointment that has been made since the year 1852, when the firm of Seward, Weed and Greeley was broken up because Greeley could not be made Postmaster of this city. It may be that this appointment is intended in the light of a pro- position from the senior member of the firm for the resumption of the old relations. Greeley’s stock has risen greatly since that rupture, and if this be a bid for the reopening of the old books, it gives a measure of Greeley’s in- creased value; for the difference between the old and the present price is doubtless exactly as the difference between the position of Post- master in this city and that of United States Minister to Vienna. It is droll world, and though old Thurlow—the once potent member of the firm—is not named at all in the present arrangement, that is no evidence that he is not init and that it is not his acity, after all, eto ASR YE " that has brought about this proposition to close up all old troubles and return to specie pay- ment. Of course, if Greeley goes, there is no chance left for Raymond ; and it is not yet certain that Greeley may not go; for though he himself treats the nomination as a practical joke, that may be due to his great modesty, Had he been confirmed he would have thought the joke much better. He would have been confirmed, too, by all appearance, but for the Tipton Slasher. This illustrious namesake of a once honored representative of the P. R. could not see the propriety, and there was no Parliamentary Tom Sayers present to open (or close) his eyee with convincing argument; so one man’s opposition carried the business over, under the rules. But it will come up again in December, and the Slasher may be either con- yinced or settled with before that. of Seward’s Stale News of the Associated Press, On the 24th of June last, nearly « month ago, we published the following cable de- spatch, under date of Berlin, June 22:— Persons just wenres bP colt a, ba “4 pa ad —¥ ie ass of the French arany on a ‘arge scale ip that country. On Sunday last the Associated Press sent us the following, bearing cate Paris, July 20, which they Intended that we should accept as a fresh cable telegram:— The Emperor Napoleon still continues to buy large French sand Tameeruary workabops im France are overtasked’ with work. Does the Associated Press imagine that the public can be gulled by bogus commercial re- ports, hambug despatches, unimportant an- nowncements. and news @ month old? What 'o De with the Indiana’? Tae President has at length signed a ‘ill which is to dispose of several of tho loading tribes which are now waging war against us. Tho sam? old Rip Van Winkle policy—nogo- tiations, beads, pocket kaives and calico tresiies that neither party can understand, a little fortification whiskey, and @ reservation, with appropriations of government funds to support the lazy redakins, are the sum total of tho plan, Shall we nover have an Indian policy based on common aense and the new de- manda of our progress that is marching West- ward? It was advocated ia Oongreas recently that the true way to settle our Indian troubles waa to incorporate the different tribes into our own communities and make them useful in- stead of useless. It is by far the wisest pao yet suggested. It is the wildeat dream imagi- nablo to carry on our presont Indian system. We have driven the aborigines from the At- lantic coast acroas the Mississippi, and rolled them up at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Tho civilization of the Pacific coast, impinging upon the tribes of the western slop, drives thom ecaaiward. Threo great Pacific railroads dash through their reservations and scatter them north and south by tho irresistible march of modern civil gation. Territories and States are carved outin their midst. Driven to the last extreme, influenced by bad men, made the tools of army contractors and unprincipled Indian agents, tho savage lakes up the knife and determines to die where he can no longer live as he has been living. He is desperate. He may well be so, He can no longer tead the old lite of indolence and be fed from the public purse. We open no other channel of life to him, no other means of self-aupport. We have tried to humbug him with the reservation system until he will no longer be humbugged. The true way now is to give him his rights in the movement of the age, and let him be in- corporated into the great family of the nation. We have given his inferior a position and rolled up an immonse national debt to accom- plish it. In the case of the Indians we are showing our inconsistency in attempting to double that national debt by exierminating them. We have, sooner or later, to occupy all the Indian territory. As we are advancing to-day the nation is engaged in @ war of ex- termination of the American tribes, has been for the past fifty yeara and wit we for the next half century, until no remnant remains of int boid race whose courage challenges our admiration. A Responsible Ministry in France. Daring the protracted d'scussion of tho budget in the Corps Législatif the opposition have uttered not a few unpalatable truths, and offered some by no means welcome sugges- tions, On the 9th of July the Mexican expedi- tion was freely discussed. In the course of bis remarks M. Thiers traced all the evils of that expedition, which from the outset had the ap- proval of no one in France, to the system of irresponsible government which now prevails in that country. According to M. Thiers the form of government towards which France must advance as speedily as possible, in the interest of government and the country, is that of limited monarchy—the chief of the State acting through a responsible ministry, which should be subject to the control of a repre- sentative assembly, faithfully giving expres- sion to the popular wll. In other words, he advocates the adoption of the English system. We are not called upon to say whether the adoption of such a system would or would not be for the good of France. We notice this sng- gestion of M. Thiers because it indicates dis- satisfaction with tho existing system, and because it involves an experiment which is altogether new in the history of govern- ments. Respensible ministers, natural and even necessary to a government limited by constitutional forms, do not appear in theory to harmonizs well wiih a system of government based on univer- sal suffrage; nor, so far as we are aware, has the theory ever taken practical shape. It has no precedent in the history of France itself ; ithas none in tho history of England ; it has none in the history of the United States. The experiment would be valuable and in- stractive, and if France and Napoleon are in a mood to make it we shall watch it with in- terest. It is little likely to be made here, for the simple reason that it is unnecessary. The worst rulers we can have can reign only for four years, and if, from abuse of power or from positive unfitness for their post, they make themselves particularly offensive, we can impeach and remove them at will. Universal suffrage has shown itself compatible with Cesarism, as in Rome and in France, and with limited Presidential terms, as in the United States ; but it has not yet heen seen flourishing side by side with a so-called responsible min- istry, Napoleon is litfle likely to put himself in the hands of any ministers. France is as little likely to recede from universal suffrage. M. Thiers’ proposal is, therefore, besct with some difficulty. Gerrit Smith's Libel Suit. The Chicago Tribune settles a libel suit by a formal agreement to publish its prosecutor as insane. Sach is the result of Gerrit Smith’s suit against that paper—probably the most re- markable case on record ; for it may be safely assumed that no man ever before entered a suit to secure the deliberate announcement and publication of his own mental incapacity. To charge unsound mind as a cause for odd acts may even be libellous ; and bere is a case where the requirement is so contrary that the announcement of unsound mind and conse- quent intellectual and moral irresponsibility is accepted in liew of damages, As a further con- tradiction, it is even quite possible that the man would have a case against us if we should declare that thie very course is an evidence that his mind is not all right now, or should advance the idea that his entering as a bailor for Jeff Davis was an insane act. This case is a noteworthy example of how far men may be carried in the pursuit of abstract right ; for, after all, this strange requirement is @ result of Gerrit Smith’s efforts to defend himself from a charge that affected his reputa- tion as an upright man. He had relations with old John Brown; and, whatever they were, his mind was so deeply affected by Brown's fi ¢ that he became insane aud was consigned to an asylum. The Chicago ‘Tribune charged that this insanity was feigned and a ruse to es- cape the consequences of aomplicity in Brown's acts. Thus Mr. Smith mast either stand before the world under the imoutation of knaverr. or a seoure the publication that his disoase was real. He chose the latter ; and this, in view o€ the prejudices of the world, is bold ; for, conMidering the horror that surrounds intelloc- tual disease fn all men’s mind, it is probable that most would prefer the obloquy of a mild type of knavery. JeM Davie in Cannda. {t will be seon by « letter from our Montreal correspondent that the reception which Jef Davis met with on his appeurance at the thea- tre there assumed quito tho character of an offensive demonsiration against our govern- ment, The feeling which his presence elicited is described as having boon extravagantly en- thusiastic, and that among an audience which was composed of “the élife of the city.” The Canadians may indulge in o¢ much of this sort of thing as they please. The time has prssed by when it could disturb our peace of mind. Seeing that it can no way ruffle us, we wonder that their admiration of Davis does not take a more practical direction. Wiy, for instance, do they not make him a member of their Cabi- net? Astatesman who exhibited such skill in wrecking the fortunes of the Southern confed- racy would be just the man to pilot the new dominion through the dangers that are likely to beset it, There is but one diffoulty in the way. It would be inconvonient if, afier bis appointment, our government were to demand his surrender; for the straw bail that was given for his appearance would not be worth the for- feiting. Seriously speaking, the fuss made over the arch rebel on this oceasion proves that the Canadians are in a very bad condition of mind. They won't recover their equanimity until they are formally annexed to us, As it is “at pre- sent situated Canada is little more than.a sort of Botany Bay for the United States, All the would-be.distinguished persons who have no legal ataning here find themselves great men among the Kanuoks, just as the equally aspir- ing individuals who quit Great Britain “for their country’s good” become eminent among the inhabitants of the penal colonies, A Tompest ia a Teapot. We notice that some of the Bohemian papers are publishing sensational accounts of a diff- culty which is said to have occurred between Mr. Cyrus W. Field, one of the proprietors of the Anglo-Americaz telegraph, and Mr. George Jones, one of the owners of the Times newspaper | of this city, and tho affair has even boen cari- | extured in some of the trashy pictori als which now fio2d the metropolis. There was nothing about it of sutcient importance to base even a newspaper paragrn, ~h. It was merely 8 slight me * occurred ata dinner difference of opinion whic. < party. Mr. Jones stated that .'° Associated Press was receiving over the cable uo’ an @ hundred words a day, which Mr. Field, from aknowledge of tho exact amount of cable matter which was daily sent from Europe, felt himself called upon to dony. If Mr. Jones in- tended to include the special cable telegrams of the Heratp, which he had no right to do, or if he meant to embrace the bogus commercial reports which are manufactured in this city and sent to the papers as cable despatches, his estimate was rather under than over the mark; but Mr. Field, in denying the statement, had reference only to such despatches as are sent by the Associated Press agent in London through the cable to this city. Whatever the number of words may have been, whether Mr. Field or Mr. Jones was right, we claim that the Heraup has far outstripped the Associated Press in cable dospatches, not only in amount, but also in importance and re- liability ; which fact can be partially attested by a certain Down East college Professor of Astronomy. The Next Presidency. The two greatest supporters General Grant has for the next Presidency are Ben Butler and Wendell Phillips, both of Massachu- setts. They bitterly assail him and lose no opportunity to pitch into him, right and left; but as such opposition really helps the cause of General Grant, those men must necessarily be classed among his supporters. Greeley is also opposed to Grant, but his opposition is of lit- tle consequence one way or the other, as it is pretiy well understood that since he put in straw bail for the head of the rebellion be is in favor of Mr. Jefferson Davis for the Presidency. If Greeley succeeds in getting Jeff nominated his candidate will, accoMing to present ap- pearances, receive the unanimous vote of Canada, The Associated Press Cable News. Europe furnished three items of news to the reporter of the Associated Press yesterday— the passage of a bill for the abolition of im- prisonment for debt in France, the re-estab- lishment of the Provincial Assembly in Russia, and the adoption of the Italian budget by Parliament. He transmitted this matter by the Atlantic cable. Was there nothing of more importance transpiring around him? Daring the past week the Associated Press agents used the cable to inform us of the ex- istence of a financial panic in Frankfort, of the march of the Garibaldians to Rome and an en- gagement between the revolutioniste and the Italian troops, and that the Empress Eugénie was to arrive at Windsor Castle, on a visit to Victoria, last Sunday. They have not referred to either subject since, althongh the know- ledge of the termination of any of them would be of far more interest to our readers than the cable news given to-da; GENERAL GRANT AT LONG BRANCH.
