Mr. Carrington then opened the argument before the jury, speaking for three hours, when the court adjourned till Monday. He will resume @gain on Monday, the counsel for defence will follow Rien, and Mr. Pierrepont will close the arguments, which ‘will pronabiy occupy ail the week. A correspondent who bas just returned from a five monthe’ trip on the Plains states, that in the event of a Goacral war the United States will have fifty-eight @housand Indians to subdue, and as it is utterly impos. sible to meet them in pitched battie in accordance with the set rules of war, this achievement will require a Great deal of time and money. The original cause Of the war was the want of good faith on the part of United States Commissioners in making a bogus treaty Telative to @ road to Montana, and sending troops against the consent of the Indians to occupy posts along the Foute thus opened. In conclusion, our correspondent Yecommends a radical change in the management of the Indian Breau, and, if possible, the location of the ‘tribes on reservations and their instruction in the arts of peace. General Sheridan has issued his order authorizing the Board of Levee Commissioners for Louisiana, appointed ‘dy himseif some time ago, to resume their duties: Their functions were recently suspended by the Presi- ent, it will be remembered, on the application of Gov- ernor Wells, Ata mooting of republicans in Richmond yesterday, to appoint delegates to the August convention, the ad- bereats of Hunnicatt attempted to effect a division of the party by objecting to the report, and making a mass Amstead of a delegate convention of the one about to be ‘heid.

A Fenian died at Buffalo yesterday from the effects of ‘wounds received at Ridgeway in June, 1566. + Important evidence was taken yesterday tn the case of fhe newsboy killed by being ran over by a street qr on {he Forty-second and Graad street line. The driver, Who bad been arrested, was rolensed on $2,009 bail and ‘the further investigation was postponed. ‘The Sanitary Inspector who was sent by the Metropol. {tam Board of Health, to report upon the sanitary condi- tiot of Westohester, states that the condition of that ‘Village t¢ euch that immediate action is required to pre- steady yesterday. Soveraments were dull. Gold closed, at 140%. Domestic produce was in fair demand, but the leading articles wore @ trifle lower. Merchandise remained steady and firm, but in limited request. Cotton was quiet, bute shade Armor. Coffee was moderately active at unchanged prices, On "Change flour was quite freely disposed of, but at prices indicating a decline of 10¢, a 200 per bbl. generally, Wheat was in more demand; prices were 20. to 3c. lower, however. Cora advanced 1c. ; while oats were firmer, Pork closed buoyant and firm, while beef and lard ruled firm, Whiskey was dul! and nominal.

Our telegrams from Columbia, South Caro- lina, inform us that the State Republican Con- vention assembled there had chosen a negro vice president and ‘9 negro secretary for that body, and that the former was actually presid- ing over the Convention. The colored citizens of African descent are advancing rapidly to power, and they seem to be fully conscious of the position they occupy, as, for example, in the case of this negro presiding officer, who haughtily told a white delegate that resigned because he could not subscribe to the platform adopted, that “he was glad to accept it (the resignation) as he did not want a Judas among them.” How strikingly this Incident shows the extraordinary revolution that has taken place in the South, and particularly in this aristoeratio capital of the proud State of South Carolina? Who could have dreamed a few years ago of a negro presiding over a State Convention at Columbia? Who could have imagined that within so short a time a man of the slave race would preside over and address in such a manner the white master race? The negroes, under the guidance of a few of their own people more intelligent than the rest, and the manipulation of white radicals, have become ambitious, and are likely to play an important part in reconstruction as well as in the politics of the country for the next fow years. In three of the Southern States, Louisi- ana, Mississippi and South Carolina, they are more numerous than the whites; at least they will have more votes. It is also not improba- ble that in nearly all the rebel States they will have a majority in consequence of the apathy or wilful abstention of the whites ia not registering. Admitting this to be the case, several interesting questions arise as to the cause and consequences of such a state of things. First, then, as to the cause. We think it may be found chiefly in the white people feeling uncertain about the course they should take, and in being timidly cautious about making a mistake and thus hindering their restoration. There are undoubtedly a fow violent rebels who, in their recklessness and hatred to their conquerors, would throw obstructions in the way of reconstruction; and there are others so broken down by the war that they have be- come éullen and indifferent as to the fate of their country. Bat the mass of the people, with nearly all the leading. rebels, and particu- larly those of the army, desire to help forward the work of restoration. They, however, for the most part, do not know which ‘is the...best. course to take— whether to register and take an active part in the elections and conventions, or to let the radicals and negroes together do the whole business. They are aware that the question is wholly a politicalone; that they will be re- stored to the Union and to their former privi- leges if their States become republican and support'the republican party; and they have teagon to fear they will be kept out should the contrary be the case, It may be asked, then, why do they not support the radical republi- cans, seeing they have so much at stake? It might be better for them to do ao in the present crisis. But we can hardly expect a whole community—the mass of honest people—to gulp down at once political dogmas and plat- forms that have been like poison to them all their lives. We have no doubt—and, indeed, there is ample evidence to show it—that they will willingly lay aside or bury their own old political notions for the sake of restoration. Still, it would be unreasonable to expect them to swallow, without a wry face, all the nauseous radical compound offered to their lips; and if they were to swallow it with apparent plea- sure their honesty would be questioned. On the whole, many of the well meaning Southern people think it best to let the radicals and negroes together reconstruct the South with- out their assistance, believing that will sooner réstore the Union. They would take the other course, however, if they thought that best, Everywhere the question is asked, is it best to register or not? Is it best to take an active part in reconstruction or not? Such is the dilemma they are in. Such is the cause, doubtless, why many of the whites are not registering. To all appearance just now the consequence will be that the negroes, under the guidance of the radicals of the North, will hold for a time the balance of political power in the South. We think the expectations of the whites that they would be able to control the votes of their former slaves will not be realized. It is quite likely there will be several negroes elected to Congress, and probably Senators Sumner, Wade and Chandler may have ebony fellow citizens sitting beside them in the Senate Chamber. When a negro is chosen to preside over a State Convention in South Carolina is it not reasonable to suppose several may be sent to Congress, especially when we consider that in many districts the negro vote is overwhelm- ing? The Southerners probably anticipate such @ result, and expect a reaction of public sentiment at the North in consequence. This may be the reason in part for their apathy. But we would advise them not tp calculate too much upon @ revulsion of public feeling here. We are going through a great political and social revolution, and it is hard to say where it will stop or how far it may go. The true course for the Southerners to pursuc is to rogister and take part in the reconstruction and restoration of their States, manfully and honestly supporting the measures of Congress, and leave party political questions to the fature, By the time they become represented in Congress again new parties, on the new and great issues that are beginning to loom up, will be formed, and then they can take their stand where their interests may direct.

SUNDAY, JULY 28, "1587. Model Literary Inctitutions of New England. ‘For more than" century Harvard and Yalo have been eulogized as our Oxford and Cam- bridge. During the present commencement season their claims to holding the same rela- tions to the United States, and especially to New England, which the Iast named universi- ties hold to Old England, have been abund- antly commemorated in prose and verse, both in what the late Mr. Marcy called the “Ameri- can” language, and in what Gulielmus Magous- Humilis, alias William Biglow, of facetious memory, used to call lingua latina porcelliana, vernacularly “hog Latin.” If we are to judge from the Bowery-like rowdyism of which too many undergraduates of Yale and Harvard are said to have been guilty during the recent re- gatta week at Worcester, in Massachusetts, we must reluctantly infer that in the old days of the Mobawks the English universities cannot have let loose on London a bigger set of bad boys than those who are reported to have made night hideous and the hotels uninhabitable in the quiet town of Worcester last week. Of course all the young gentlemen who assisted at Lake Quinsigamond in those athletic sports, the introduction of which into our colleges we have so often recommended aa a healthful and desirable adjunct of collegiate education, and as tending to secure the mens sana in corpore sano, are not to be confounded in tho public censure which has boen provoked by the ill behavior of their comrades. But bad enough as some of the fast men of Oxford and Cam- bridge have appeared on some of the frolics in which they have emulated the eccentricities of the late Merquis of Waterford, we cannot help thinking that the fast men of Oambridge and Yale have distanced them and disgraced inex- cusably cach of the colleges which they ro- spectively hail as alma mater. But, after all, what can we expect from the offspring of these two colleges, which have been bepuffed for a hundred yeara a3 fountains of science and literature and piety ? Look at Yale and admire (in the true etymo- logical sense of the word) one of its principal professors, who at first astonished the world by a false prediction’ as to an expected meteoric shower, and afterwards, when a telegram by the Atlantic cable had demonstrated the falsity of his rash predictions, most gratuitously wrote himself down an aga by discrediting tho nows and bringing railing adousations against the Hznatp, which had the enterprise to secure it for the public benefit. A’ Loomis, who, like a lilliputian Titan, flings defiance at the HeraLp and the heavens, and @ Calhoun, who re- belled no loss vainly against the laws of politi- oal gravitation and cohesion that bind the Union in its orbit, are heavy weights enough to be millstones about the neck of poor old Yale, without the: additional burden of young scapegraces whose badges should not have, saved them from tho severest penaltiés for their indecent conduct at Worcester. And, setting aside the juvenile scapegraces, with the father of all the lies of nullification and seces- sion, and the undovout astronomer who, on high poetic. authority, is mad, what can we say of one of Loomis’ colleagues who 40 far demeaned himself and the dignity of his position as to ran as a candidate for Congress on the same ticket with the showman Barnum, of woolly horse notoriety, but that he was most deserr- edly consigned with the spouse of the Feejec mermaid to disappointment and defeat by the good sense and discrimination of the people of Connecticut t So much for Yale. Now look at Harvard, with its constellation of bright and shining stars, dimly visible, indeed, beyond the limited horizon of Cambridge and Boston, but refulgent there, at least with the mild reflected beams of Everett, the laudator of Washington. What do we here see to make us surprised at the de- generacy betrayed by certain harum-skarums of the Hasty Pudding Club, in emulation of the enfans terribles of Yale, the natural children of @ reaction against the old blue laws of Con- necticut? We cannot forget that Harvard lends the most liberal aid and encouragement to the North American Review. This ponderous quarterly has lately struggled with desperate effort to emerge from the dull oblivion into which it had fallen; and, in order to regain public attention, has poured torrents of abuse upon New York city, intermingling libellous at- tacks towards its Corporation, violent diatribes against its judiciary, and scandalous impertt- nences upon its press. Tho editor of the North American, Jawes Russel Lowell, is, in fact, a Profeasor of Modern Languages in Harvard University. That he is not unfamiliar with the language of Billingsgate is obvious from the fact that its vocabulary seems to have been ex- hausted in the recent wordy warfare waged by the North American against New York; and that he has apt pupils is but too well shown by their vulgar profanity at Worcester. A portant Fact. Mr. Horace Greeley is never going to speak to Mr. A.J. &. Duganne any more. Not be- cause he finds it so difficult to remomber all his initials, but because Duganne voted the wrong way in the State Convention. This is Greeley’s ides of freedom. If a man does not vote his way he inflicts upon him what he conceives to be the greatest possible privation. What Mr. Daganne pro- poses todo in this case—whether, losing all ambition and desire to live, he will give himeelf up to ruin and rum, and, deprived of the lofty teachings of the philosopher, go “gwiftly down the slippery ways of vice”—is at present not known; therefore we cannot say what awiul effects may follow Greeley’s dread resolve, But Duganne ought not to be utterly demoralized. He may find « remedy, If he must have twaddling philosophy, and can- not have it directly from Greeley, why not buy Greeley’s paper’ That's the next worst thing. We throw out this idea in a spirit of pure humanity, and as judging that a man who has enjoyed the feast of Groeley’s reason—leaving Greeley himself only the crumbs—must not be let down too suddenly to live on worldly com- mon sense. In Styria the mountaineers eat arsenic, and do not die. Thoir systems take up the poison—as Duganne did the wisdom of Greeley—and they thrive on it. But they must keep it up—such @ pill of such size every day—for that is the condition of safety ; and when for any reason they are suddenly deprived of their rations of poison, they die in agony. It will bo the same with Duganne, and Greeley, knowing the secret of his dreadful power, knew this. There is no help for Duganne but to read Greeley’s paper; that ts the only possible substitute; for the Lime Kiln Man is dead and George Munday bas not been heard of for balf a centurp, ‘ Tho Case eof the Rev. Mr. Tyag—“ From Hatred, Malice and all Uacharitublences, Good Lord Deliver Us.” It is held in the Episcopal Church, it seems, that there may be too much preaching, too much praying and too much performance of the Church service. As to the preaching, sen- sible people generally will be of the same opinion ; but it is not commonly supposed that the dignitaries of the={Church can be brought to formal admission of the truth of these points, But this is the simple significance of the steps taken for the trial of Mr. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., for performing service in a parish in New Jersey when that parish was already in possession of another parson. It matters not that the Jersey souls might have been very ob- durate and required a great deal of saving; it is a grave offence in the eye of the Church that there should be two parsons in « parish— sufficient for the parish is the parson thereof— and as Stephen scorned the law, the reverend culprit must answer. What the world will suppose better and better on the part of the offending parson, and what the Church perhaps regards as worse and worse, is that he per- formed the service in a Methodist church, Here the adventurous gentleman probably saw a good chance for missionary effort. He was not cramped by any narrow sectarian notions; he would as lief instruct and help Methodists as others, perbaps rather, as thinking their need greater. Besides, as the place was given over to Mothodism, was it not wise to give it the benefit of a little sound doctrine when the opportunity was afforded? It is tobe regretted that the Church does not see things in this light—that its rules sympathize with the spirit of the regular parson of the parish, whose pious zeal insists upon having all the law, even if there is leas gospel. General Grant and the Mysterious Detective. That is a very extraordinary story indeed which we published yesterday from Washing- ton concerning that mysterious shadow which p. sues General Grant wherever he goes, sup- posed to be a special detective in the service of an enterprising Massachusetts politician. That such base means should be employed to catch something or make up something to the prejudice of General Grant in connection with the Presidency it is hard to believe; and yet the story isa plausible one—that this mysterious shadow has been detected as a paid detective. We suspect that there are several politicians in Massachusetts so bitterly hostile to General Grant’s promotion to the White House that they will leave no stone unturned and no device untried which may contribute to do- feat the movement set on foot looking to ‘his election. Yet, against the overshadowing achievements and popularity of our General- in-Chief, all the miserable tricka of mousing politicians and hireling spies and eavesdrop- pers to damage him are like throwing dust against the wind. But for all that things have come to ® pretty pass if, in addition to being mercilessly tortured and worried night and day by his admiring friends, General Grant is to be dogged and noted in all his movements and all bis conversations by hostile spies and informers. Can this atory of the detective be true? Who can tellt Rumors of War. One of yesterday’s cable despatches informs us that “war between France and Prussia is imminent.” It is notorious that France and Prussia are not on good terms. The London Conference ataved off rather than settled diffi- culties. The visit to Paris of King William and his henchman, Bismarck, was, as is now well known, very much of a farce. It was bar- ren of good frait'; it began in coldness and ended without enthusiasm. The truth is France and Prussia aro little likely to become good friends until they have dealt each other a few hard blows. It is not easy, however, to see how, in present circumstances, a fight can be got up. The violation of the London treaty will, in spite of Lord Stanley’s ingenious ex- planations, bring both England and Russia as ex-signataires into the field. The only possible casus belli at present is the North Schleswig question. On that question, however, Prussia is already yielding, and Denmark will not be unreasonable, Although, therefore, we do not consider war to be impossible, we can discover no immediate and sufficient cause. The East River and Holl Gate. We have lately been obliged to chronicle several accidents which have happened to ves- sels passing through the East river channel to and from Long Island Sound. It is possible that the authorities are patiently waiting until some one of the numerous floating palaces is wrecked, with the loss of several hundred lives, before they make any effective movement towards clearing out the obstructions. There is no passage from the ocean to our city that will admit vessels of such great draught of water as the East river channel. One hundred thou- sand dollars Properly expended at Hell Gate and its vicinity would give an increased value to our harbor and its wharf privileges of many millions of dollars. It would also settle the troubles between the pilots and the towboats; it would greatly enhance the value of all the East river property, and, above all, it would show that our people have a lively sense of the value of the commercial interests which are the life of the city, and that they live in the pre- sent century. ’ Wonderful Discoverics ta the New Dominion. They have been making some wonderful discoveries in the new Dominion of Canada, sc- cording to « late despatch from Ottawa to the Associated Press. It thus appears that a sur- veying party sent out to ascertain the length of the great Ottawa river encountered large quantities of ice in Lake Gros, on the 24th of May ; that in that benighted region the natives are Pagans, and the men have a plurality of wives. We should not wonder, however, if it were to turn out that in this despatch the press agent mixed up his news from Gros Lake with some from the Great Salt Lake and the Mormons, although it is nothing new tofind savages Pagans or the men of a tribe of Indians blessed with a plarality of wives. Bruiser Bradley. Again blinstering and bullying take the place of gentlemanly conduct at the Surratt trial. It is painful to see a lawyer, prominent in a very important case, bringing ‘us into dis- repute and staining our courts of justice with tho bullying tone of a pothouse politician. It ls to be regretted that Judge Fisher has not ere this given Mr. Bradley « severe roprimand. Wore it possible it would be mo more than Tight to have him jacapacitated from prose- cuting @ suit in any American court. Such men bring a deop stigma upon the dignity of the law and make our courts in the United States a mockery abroad. Let us have justice carried out with dignity, coolness, logical argu- ment, and whatever commands respect and bestows honor. Let us not descend to such scenes as would disgrace the lowest court of a semi-civilized people. Garibaldi and Rome. Garibaldi, who is a Bobby Walker sort of man, is always ill at ease unless engaged in some species of filibustering. The Papal Con- vention has not ended to his satisfaction—-the Pope has not been advised to abandon his temporal power. We regret this for the Pope’s own sake. Garibaldi more than regrets; he insists on revolution. In this he is encouraged by the ex-triumvir Mazzini. There js one se- rious difficulty in the way ; the King of Italy is bound by a treaty entered into with France to protect the Holy City from all filibustering attacks. It is not impossible that Garibaldi may attack Rome. It is absolutely certain that in that case Victor Emanuel will occupy Rome. It is difficult to predict what will follow. Garibaldi may come. to grief, but Rome will be in the hands of the Italians. Whether they will retain their hold or quietly abandon it are questions which it will be safest to leave to time to solve. Rommacive.—A certain party inquired yester- day of another if any European despatches would soon be sent up to the Associated Press. “T guess a0,” responded the party addressed, “for I saw ‘em a little while ago in the office rummaging over the London Times.” CITY INTELLIGENCE. Tas Lars Yacut Disasrer on tus Norra Rivex.—Yes- terday William Mosher and James Van Elton, the cap- tain and pilot of the steamboat J. W. Baldwin, which on Friday last run down the yacht Lady Herman, were brought before Judge Leonard, of the Supreme Court, on @ writ of habeas corpus, and a motion made for their discharge. Captain Petty, of the Fifth precinct, arrested the pilots shortly after the occurrence referred to. Im- mediate application was made to bail them, and Captain Petty took them before Judge Dowling, who said he had ‘no jurisdiction, and referred the care to the Coroner. Then a new difficulty arose, the Coroner having no ju- risdictibn till the body was found. In the meantime it had been reported that some one had been picked up by a barge. None of the justices having juriadiction and Captain Vetty's power being limtted to arresting the rties, application was made to the Supreme Court by _— corpus. The accused were held in $5,000 bail each, Tum Caarge Acawer Rev. Mr, Trsc, Jr.—Rev.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TD THE HERALD. ‘Teor, N, ¥., July 21, 1867, Tock FM} It appears, upon trustworthy information, that the managemont of the Unadilla National Bank has been of aa exceedingly reckless character. The managers of the bank owna large majority of the stock, and it is ‘understood that they have lost it in extravagant mining and produce speculations. In doing this they have nog only used up the capital of the bank, but have also takea the special deposits, at a very heavy rate of interest, from all the old farmers and other confiding people in the neighborhood. On these special deposits they have paid seven per cent interest, while the usual interest upon such deposits ranges not to ex- coed five per cent, and oftentimes as low as four pee cont. L also learn that many of the merchants in and around that neighborhood have been sending certificates of depoatt on this bank to pay their debts in New York, which, having been returned to the bank for New York funds, have remained in the hands of the Unadilla Banc unpaid, It is probable that the hoiders of these cert:4- cates will be compelied to await the action of the receiver, to be appointed, before they can ascertain what proportion of the assets they will receive as dividends For some time the authorities of this bank have struggied to get back under the old State‘system, to the ond that they might administer their affatrs much more economically and with less on go suspicion, O8 course the innocent people of all that section of the country are in the highest state of alarm and indigna-' tion at the tne been ~— fe chia Correspont roughout the coun ic! have sont the Unadilla item for collection, ‘have im for some time Hence it has been found necessary to send special ts to Unadilla to asceriain the true status of ire.
