Capitalists are distrustful, as private advices from Berlin to London state that Prussia 4s urging on her preparations for hostilities actively. Two military conscripts of Prussia embarked on oard an American vessel just about to sail from the Port of Bremerhaven.

On the 28th of last month Mayor Hoffman, in view of the recent decision of the Supreme Coart that the law of Phe Legislature transferring the right of giving licenses from the city authorities to the Board of Police Commis- stoners was unconstitutional, asked the latter Board if he @ouid have the aid of the police in granting licenses, but he bas as yet received no answer.

Among the papers captured at Quorétaro, it bas been ascertained, was s letter from Miramon to Maximilian, Protesting against the appointment of Marques to @ military rank higher than his own. Marquez was, how- ever, appointed to such a rank, and this rivalry between himself and Miramon, taken in connection with other matters, leads to the belief that Marquez really waa not loyal to Maximilian.

The commission will probably meet in Au- gust, at St. Louis. General Frank P, Blair was addressing conservative meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Thursday night, when he was interrupted by some negroes and eight or ton shots were fired, and two darkies were wounded. About two hundred negroes, then at church, hearing that their brethren had been wounded, armed and wore proceeding tothe place of disturbance when a Freed- mon’s Bureau agent dissuaded them from any violence. Brownlow’s militia are boing distributed rapidly through west and middle Tennessee and everybody, white and Dlack, seem to be intent.on arming. 4 curious story is current that General Grant recently discovered that bis movements were watched by a dotec- tive, who had boon persistently following him and who, it is further reported, is omployed by a Massachuastts Politician in Washington, The detective, on boing quos- tioned by the Gonoral, said that he was hunting up tos- timony for a Congressional commities, Several desporate bands of negro bighwaymoen are prowling about portions of Virginia and North Carolina, Two of them were recently arrested near Newborn, N.

Another Diack robber was shot by a negro man in Priace Anno county, Va, The cholera is now roported at Fort Gibson. creasing at Fort Harker. Certain parties in Canada who are supposed to be posted state that # scheme for ra abduction of Proal- dont Lincoin was atarted in the South as oarly as 1863, and that Colonel Percy Wyndham, who commanded a regiment im and about Washington, had at one time agreed to deliver up the President and his Cabinot at Richmond, axfd would probably have done so if he had not been suddenly removed. Tho hotels of Richmond, notwithstanding their shaky financial condition, will not admit nogroos as guests under their roofs, and the question has arisen what will the colored delegates to the coming convention do for board and lodging. x A Cincinnati editor mpted to awim acrosa the Ohio river on Thursday night with Aaron Jones, the pugilist, whom he had bantered for « swimming race, but he came near drowning, and was rescued by his antagonist, Davie! Mace, an ox-member of Congress, committed suicide in Lafayette, Ind., yesterday. Judge Underwood has opened his court in Richmond mainty for tho trial of cases referring to illegal rogiatra- tom Tt tg do- General Grant and the Presidency—Sigaif- cant Oppositio On the same day the Tribune and the World Oppose the nomination of General Grant for the Presidency and try to write it down. Never before did a mere coincidence in oppo- sition tell so plain a story in a candidate's favor. For what more oan bo sald in praise of @ man proposed for high position than that he {s hated or feared by those enemies of pop- ular peace and public safoty who hang on the extreme of olther division of political senti- ment and express and show the extravagance of party tendencies? In the days of the war it was eagngh B man’s favor with Union-loving yours the copperheads assailed him wicu an exuberance of abuse and insinuation. But how much clearer is the case when the oppo- sition comes, not only from one extreme, but from both; when in the same breath the cop- perhead objects, and the radical extremist, at the other end of the line, objects also. When such wide-asunder partisans agree the only safety for the nation is in choosing what they oppose. Hitherto these same extremes have agreed on several points. They agreed that the Southern States should be permitted to secede ; they agreed that the war was a fail- ure; they agreed that the existence of the nation was not paramount to all else; but that rather than do certain things we should give the Union up to inevitable ruin. In these points the people scouted their dangerous and treasonable thoughts. Now they add to their former points of agreement a united opposi- tion to General Grant. The lesson the people must draw from this is an easy one. They know now what the extremists do not want ; they know, therefore, what is necessary for the settlement of the couniry, for the harmonizing of those divisions on which the extremists live, for the restoration of national prosperity, and the destruction of all the factions. The factions themselves, with unerring instioct, point to Grant as the man they dread. Why do they dread him? Becauso he is a strong, honest, fearless, straightforward man, who commands the respect and has the confi- dence of the whole body of the people, and who, in virtue of the strength derived from the people, will reconcile all honest differences, pacify the country and destroy the dema- gogues. In his candidacy there will be not a shadow of a chance for party bargains. The exireme radicals do not wanta man to settle the country ; hence they do not want Grant. It is their policy to keep up division, to keep up agitation and bitterness, and by means of these to drive Southern men to new acts that can be held up as aggression, and so toeput new disabilities upon the South and force their ultimate purpOscs of a division of land for nigger voters, by whom they expect to con~ trol the government indefinitely. This is the broad radical objection to Grant; he is too strong and honest for this plan to thrive if he is President, Short of the radicals, who op- pose Grant for this reason, there isa vein of opposition from certain republican party man- agera, These do not want Grantas a candidate, because his success is beyond doubt Party managers make their games in the region of Goubt, and have a guaranteed equivalent for promised support. Such persons see that Grant {is out of their reach. His strength with the nation is such that he may ecorn all mancuvres, and bargaining with him is thus, for all reasons, out of the question, On the other hand, the copperheads know that they have n0 chance with e man whose whole record is so distinctly against them, and they fear that the republicans should get a candi- date who will leave no possible opportunity for @ division of the national voice, They know tbat with Grant ap they cannot confuse the people, whatever they may gay. Alto- gether, this simultaneous objection to the great candidate is a most instructive coincidence. Never wore the games of sharpers 90 revealed by any cudden exposure of cards as the games of these political are by the accident of their giving vent to their {ll-will on tbe ama dae. . The Indispensable Otierbeurs. ‘ Our Washington correspondence informs us that Mr. Otterbourg will be trusted with the management of our Moxican affairs until Con- Grease reassembles and confirms a new Minister to Mexico. We gravely submit the following questions :—Is Mr. Otterbourg a representative man of the United States? Can he speak or write Engliah? Can he speak Spanish? Has he shown any intellectual power which fits him for the management of our intricate Mexican affairst Has he the personal bearing that would prevent his being mistaken for a dealer in old clothes? Did he ever do any brilliant act which entitles him to especial considera- tion? Did ho, last fall, come to the United States for Maximilian and in the interosts of the empire, while, at the same time, it appeared that ho was sent for by the State Department ? Is he interested with Mr. Arnoux and others in several imperial concessions? Are there par- ties in intimate relationship with the State De- partment who press hia claim to manage our Moxican affairs fora short timet Have Mr. Otterbourg’s friends represented that he oan get the Tehaantepeo Company out of ita difi- culty for having its charter renewed under the empire instead of the republic? Doos there really exist an imporial oxpress company which is worthless“ unloss tho indispensable Otterbourg can worm out of the republic a new concession? Are there any litue jobs to be covered up which oan only be smoothed over by tho little indispensable man? Have the members of the New Orleans ring really carried their point, and will the little indispensable man bo intrasted with power just long onough to entangle our affairs be- yond remedy? Did Mr. Seward aay two weeks ago that Mr. Otierbourg was indispensable t that he was in intimate relationsbip—God save tho joke—with President Juarez? Is not tho man who has been hand in glovo with the empire the very best exponent of a mean in- sult to the republic, to the United States, to our Congress? Our Mexican news gives us overy reason to believe that tho country is settling down into quiot. The onthusiasm that welcomed Madame Juarez upon her landing at Vera Cruz was not the less boisterous in vivas for the United States. In the city of Mexico ordor reigns, and the merchants have voluntarily come forward with large contributions to the support of the republic. On the Fourth of July the American flag floated’ sido by side with the Moxioan banner from overy Mexican flagstaff. The warmest expressions of good will to Americans wore heard on all sides. In fact, from Presl- dent Juarez down there appears to be a de- aire to open the most cordial relationship with the United States, owing to the national—not State Department—encouragemént we haye always given them. By neglecting to have a Proper representative there the State Depart- ment oauses.a loss of millions of dollars in the development of our commerce, fails to link to- gether republican interests on this continent, which are now clashing, and gives an oppor- tunity to our commercial rival to regain her hold upon the supply of Mexican imports. In most instances an American travelling abroad is disgusted with the men who are found in official positions misrepresenting his country. Mr. Seward ap; Mwhe Mvatvy my were pa rule. The Coolie Trade in the South, The American brig W. Robertson has just landed twenty-three coolies near New Orleans, Other cargoes have been previously imported, and others are soon expected. All this in face of the acts of Congress of February 12, 1862, and July 4, 1864, Tf anything were wanted to Illustrate the horror of the coolie trade, the mathematical facts in our special correspondence from Havana yesterday are sufficient:—“ The num- ber of Chinese coolies that died on the passage to this port between the years 1847 and 1866 was 11,291 out of 90,019 shipped from Macao. Out of 11,462 shipped this year from February 2 to June 30 the number that died at sea was 1,360 souls. In one instance only 140 arrived out of 320 shipped.” When the coolies arrive at their destination they are jammed into sheds, and die like rotten sheep. In some cases the mortality after land- ing has reached seventy-five per cent of the cargo. Inno case does it average less than thirty-three per cent. Such is the picture in Havana. Shall wo photograph it for the United States in the face of our efforts for the negro, who was treated like a god in comparison to the coolie? The coolie is generally engaged, for a short term of years, and in that period the owner—no other term but owner applics—true to the inexora- ble exactions of his money in its efforts to gain interest, crashes out and demands every unit of physical force that can be found in the bone and sinew of the worse than slave that yields to his power. Torn from his home under false representations, packed into the pestilential hold of a ship for a voyage of four or five months, fed frequently on putrid beef and worm-easten biscuits, brutally abused in most cases by the officers of the ship, landed in the old slave marts of the West Indies and our Southern States, and doomed to see his fellow sufferers sink around him at the rate of one ont of every three after landing, we can find the misery of no living human being that cries to humanity with a louder voice of agony than the coolle. Another Political Riot in Tennessee. They bave bad another riot in Tennessee at ® political meeting, the sport being commenced by a radical shot at Emerson Etheridge, the conservative anti-Brownlow candidate for Gov- ernor. Radicals and conservatives, it appears, went to the ground armed with guns and pistols, and, the signal being given, the shooting commenced, and was not suspended until two men were killed outright, seven mortally and about thirty slightly wounded. The moral of all these bloody disturbances in Tennessee is this—that Tennessee was too loosely and too hastily reconstructed. Thus the party animosi- ties of the war, instead of being done away with, have been aggravated, until a stump speaker on either side brings both parties to the ground armed fora fight. These elements of violent party hostility exist in the unrecon- structed Southern States, but they are kept down, at last, by the controlling military suthorities of the United States. We hope that by the time the work of these authorities shall be finished the people and the political parties of the several States concerned will be ine beiter frame of mind for self-government than are the fichting factions of Tewneaseo, As the NEW YORK HERALD. SATURDAY, JULY 37, 1867. case stands to-day the rebel” States uasder military authority are far better off, in refor- ence to law, order and the safety of life and property, than the State of Tennessee, fully reinstated in the general government. Tho President and the Five Military Com- mandors. The National Intelligencer announces, in an ominously oracular way, in an article printed in another column, that “the position of the ad ministration has been substantially taken in the matter of the reconstruction statutes.” We ex- pected nothing less. The President bas made up his mind; but how? In a very dangerous shape for the President, if we are to believe the Intelligencer. It will be remembered that the President’s clearest objection to the last Reconstruction bill was that it deprived him of the power, as Exeoutive, that the constitution always contemplates as strictly bis; but the President did not venture to say that he would, for this reason, use what power he had to nullify the law after its enactment. He left this that it might be put forward as a feelor on the vague responsibility of a quasi organ. Following out the President’s point that the law tends to deprive “him of his author- ity, the organ says:—‘‘The Executive office is @. unit, and consequently there can be no legitimate Executive action but that of the President. As an inevitable consequence, any provision of a statute which contravenes it is not law, and should be prevented from being carried into effect.” If these words have any significance they moan that the position which the President has “substantially taken ” is that upon this pretext he will use any possible means to prevent the execution of this law. There is oven a further declaration, that he will not “ become in any degree or under any circumstances the instrument of his own over- throw.” And this is not only a new declara- tion of war against Congress, but it is a declara- tion that where the will of the President and the will of the people conflict it is the will of the Prosident that must prevail. There is an especial fulmination against General Sheridan in this latest piece of Exgou- tive wrath, so that it is mot easy to tell whether the law or Little Phil is regarded as the greater abomination. We are told that if the President should determine to supersede Sheridan “it would be an act clearly within the operation of the principle” of the Presi- dent’s constitutional power, and one “from which ho could not deviate.” Therefore, if “ the further insubordination of General Sheri- dan should throw impediments in the way of executing the statute consistently with the constitution of the United States,”. then down goes Sheridan. Now, if the statute in its nature is so inconsistent with the constitution 68 the President argued in his message, how can it possibly be executed: consistently with that wonderful document? Apparently the Presi- dent and his friends are inconsequential. But porhaps Sheridan is to be removed in any event, and all this is merely a eorap of pretended argument thrown out to justify in advance an act that itis felt would be dangerous. This is the more probable in view of the announce ment hitherto made that General Meade has been designated to succeed General Sheridan, when the President seta ready to move in the matter. Here the shoe pinches. Mr. Johnson may have good personal reasons for disliking Sheridan and Sheridan’s policy ; but as Sheri- dan was tho first of those five military com- manders to be endorsed by Congress, the policy of his removal becomes a delicate ques- tion. We apprehend that it will not hurt Sheridan at all, but that it will prove another and a very serious blunder on the part of Mr. Johanson. Tho Rodman Gua. By the Atlantic cable we learn that on Thursday, by order of the British War Office, @ trial of the American fifteen-inch Rodman gun was made in the presence of s number of naval and military officers and experts. “It was proved by the teststo which the gun was submitted that no iron or steel armor yet in- vented is capable of rosisting its shot.” The result of this trial is but a fresh illustration of the manner in which almost every important American invention has been received in Eng- land. Whatever it may be, it is at first quite universally criticised, but it generally ends by being endorsed and adopted. Particularly in the case of inventions in naval architecture and in gunnery, there bas always been in the begin- ning » determined opposition to American im- provements on the part of the Board of Admi- ralty and of ordnance officers, as well as of the press, which echoes their prejudices. But, after all, John Ball is in favor of fair play, and Brother Jonathan can count upon the success- fal result of anexperiment to which any of his really valuable inventions is subjected. Tho result in this particular case of tho Rodman gun need not excite any apprehension that the day of iron-clads has already passed, and that England and other nations may as well return to the old “wooden walle” for protection. In the history of inventions the means for attack have always been in advance of those for defence. Thus Vauban, the famous French engineer, was able to besiege and take the very best of his own fortifications in thirteen days. If the boast that American iron-clads are still safe against the Rodman gun be well founded, the British government may yet be constrained to adopt our system of plating. Even ifthe boast should prove unfounded, we may be sure that American ingenuity will be equal to more mar- vellous improvements than it has bitherto wrought, The Indian Vote. We rapidly advance, On the broad princi- ple of equal rights to all men—a principle which, in this country, notwithstanding our professions, we have as yet but very imper- feotly practised—we are now making catisfac- tory progress. Negro suffrage we may now consider as all but settled all over the Union. Woman suffrage, though it has got the go-by in certain conventions, is s coming question which, sooner or later, is likely to be answered in the affirmative, If the “nigger” has « right to vote, why should not woman! Not for the want of brains, certainly. If the nigger has established his right and the woman bas all but established hers, it is difficult to understand on what principle the Indian should be denied hiss To leave the woman for the present aside, it is extremely dificult to understand on what principle the “aigger” should be pre- ferred to the Indian. The Indian is @ man, as woll ae the “nigger,” If there be any difference it is in favor of ‘ne Indian, 19 poigt of braips the Indiep hag the advantage, Jn point of die- ern eUnae we - nity and native’ solf-ro,400e the Indian is the superior. In point-of prior. ‘¥ of right there ts no room for . The .2dian, at loast, is indigenous. The “nigger,” at bes.’: only an exotic. It delights us, therefore, to lo\rm that in the Miohigan Constitutional Conventio.. the rights of aii male Indians to the suffrage have been fully recognized. Michigan has taken a step which is logical and just, and which is certain to be extensively followed. Tho Fashionable Watering Places. Most of the fashionable places of summer resort are slimly attended this year, and asa natural consequence the hotel keepers, hack- mon, boatmen, and all others whose business depends upon crowds of visitors at this season, look very glum. There are a few exceptions, such as New London and Long Branch, where there have been or are special attractions. At New London there have been, in addition to its natural advantages, the New York yachis and yachtmen to attract the fashionable mammas and their beautiful daughters. Long Branoh, besides being one of the best seaside localities in the country, has the advantage of being near the great metropolis. The mer- chants and tradeamen of New York can come from and go to this place every day by one or other of the many steamboats and the rail- roads; thus, while enjoying a change of air and scene with their families, they can keep an eye on their business. Then Stetson, who is a sort ofmonarch among hotel keepers, and who has ® monopoly of oustomers and friends enough to people a good sized town, bas opened a magnificent hotel there this season. Besides the Astor House, the hotel in the Park, and wo know not how many others, he has now the Stetson House, at Long Branch, capable of accommodating a thousand to fifteen hun- dred guests. With keon foresight he know where basiness would be good, and has con- tributed nota little in making it so at Long Branch. But this last week thora has been an unusual attraction in General Grant being there. The greatest goneral of the age and the next President of the United States no- cossarily draws a crowd after him. Univer- sally, admired for his splendid services in putting down the rebellion, as well as for his fine traits of character and simple republican manners, his follow citizens, and particularly the ladies, delight to do him honor. Then the hordes of politicians, who are ever on the lookout for indications of the future, see in him the coming man, and follow his move- monts like birds of pray. If the hotel keepers at other places who are pining over their empty houses could induce him to visit thom all round in turn, we have no doubt the tide might be tured in their favor. Among the causes which leave ths fashion- able places of resort desolate this yaar may bo mentioned the attractions in Europe. Tie Paris Universal Exposition has taken away great aumbers. The flight of Americans across the Atlantic is unprecedented. Never before was there anything like it. There has been a sort of mania to visit Europe. While this iss great lose to the watering places at home the present season, it will be an advan- tage next year if the hotel keepers know how to profit by it, By “and by the thousands of Our citizens will return disgusted with the ex- tortions they have endured sbroad, and while they may feel bound, for fashion’s sake, to talk largely of Europe and their travels, they will in their hearts come home more satisfied with their own magnificent country. In fact, we look for such a reaction that few will go abroad next year. But there are also causes for this decline of businéss in these places themselves. The extortionate charges and bad socommodation at most of them have driven people to country farm houses and more retired spots, where they could get comfortable rooms, good milk, butter, meat, fruit and vegetables, and were not insulted by impudent servants. Now, we advise the*hotel keepers at the water- ing places to dry up their tears and to put their houses in order for @ better time next year—that ig, if they can save themselves from bankruptcy this year. But they and their establishments have to be reconstructed, as well as the South, before they can expect to prosper. There are many thousands of people who would visit them that do not now if the charges were more reasonable and the accom- modation better. The American people are liberal and spend their money freely ; but they have become tired of being cramped up in little stiffing closets called rooms, iu being stuffed with unwholesome food, and all this with bad attendance and frightful charges. There is no reform in our social life more needed than this; for, independent of the de- sire to change our residence during the lot summer months, we ares gregarious people and flock together at the fashionable places. Still we may be driven to spread ourselves over the country and among the farm houses if there be not a reform at the hotels. We advise the hotel keepers, therefore, without charging them for it, to brash up aad recon- struct their establishments upon a proper basis ready for a better season in 1863. Decidedly Outflanked. The politicians of all parties in turns have been trying their coquettish arts with General Grant, to make him the candidate of this or that faction, but he keeps silently on the even tenor of his way without committing himself to any ofthem. This has put some of them in a rage, and their newspaper organs have begun to assail him. He can outflank these politi- cians justas neatly as he outflanked General Lee. “Why does the heathen rage (the radical and copperhead press) and imagine a vain thing?” General Grant is the choice of the people, and the assaults of political gamesters will only serve him. Ramored Sappression of the Insurrection ln Candia. It is announced per the Atlantig cable that the war in Crete is ended.
