THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1867, The Election im Tennessee. , The Tennessee election for State officers and Congressmen takes place ‘to-day. There is great partisan activity and an undue move- ment of military and other armed force, in- eluding the United States troops, the Governor's radical militia army and the municipal police of the several cities. Perhaps there is no more. of this than is inevitable in the circumstances, and in view of the fact that the State has yet hardly reached the equanimity of a peaceable community. We give in another column the names of candidates, the party platform and other necessary information. Tennessee has matured rapidly that political fruit which the republican party, if it follow ita present tendency, may eventually gather over the whole country. For this reason the elec- tion in Tennessee has an interest beyond the limits of that State, It is well worthy the care- ful study of the whole American people; since in observing the position of parties as marshalled for that local straggle men may see in little the operation of the same causes, and may trace the same series of events that will pro- bably produce the next great revolution in the state of parties throughout'the nation. There they may see how the great party that is now dominant, that gained tho confidence of the people in carrying the country through the war, is abusing its strength and squandering its resources, and, scorning to consider the examples that all the history of party might furnish, is forcing into union and vitality tue elements destined to destroy its power. Nothing is so dangerous to party as forcing to their ultimate logical limit points of prin- ciple on which men differ—the more especially when this is done in an offensive, tyrannical, arrogant spirit, Attempting to drive men to the immediate acceptance of dozmas they are inclined to question, and hold- ing up the threat that unless they boltso much ready made political doctrine they shall be treated as enemies, is the greatest of blunders. It at once puts every doubtful man on the other side—it sends many over who are moved by a human spirit of contradiction, and adds to their number all those independent spirits who have a freeman’s hatred to dictation. This operation of party extravagance was seen clearly in the year before the war. Southern orators and writers forced the mass of our people into a position against the South by ignoring the distinction between the Northern peoplo and the abolition faction. They de- clared all republicans abolitionists, and by their own course and declarations made them such. In Tennessee at prosent republicanism and Brownlowism are held in the party as synony- mous terms. They who will not believe in Brownlow—who object to his outrageous char- acter—are abused as rebels or copperheads, and classified as the enemies of the govern- ment. Thus a lerge proportion of the decent mon of the Stats—Union men at that—are forced, out of regard to principle, and to give effect to their opposition, to act with the so- called conservatives. Thy are forced to seem hostile to the govasament-or to assent to Brown- low’s supremacy and let his acts go without protest. Brownlow is %aly the type of the extreme party man, the extravagant, intolerant radical. The course pursued by him and his adherents is the same that republican leaders are following elsewhere. They are laying down as a test fidelity to afew narrow ideas that they call party principles. Ifa man does not come within their litile limit he is tabooed—he is not a “republican ;” no mat- ter what his services to the coun‘ry may have been, the dominant party must leave him alone. This is the spirit which opposes Grant’s nomination to the Presidency because he is not enough a party man. And this spirit must inevitably ruin the party it governs. Tf the radicals in Tennessee are successful under Brownlow’s lead, this party arrogance will grow worse ;if they are beaten, republi- caus elsewhere will see the necessity of modi- fying this tendency, and thus their defeat would not be an unmixed evil. The Presidency and the Press. Among the multiplying symptoms of the in- terest which the Presidential question is al- ready exciting throughout the country is the alarm manifested by certain radical orgaus at what they call the premature agitation of the claims of rival candidates for the Presidency. One of these organs in this city betrays the true secret of its alarm by contradicting the universal expression of the popular will in favor of General Grant. It insinuates that the time has not come to advocate any Presiden- tial nomination. But in the same breath with which it protests against Grant it applauds Sheridan and deprecates the criticism provoked by the Kansas speech of Wade. It is too soon, forsooth, to talk of Grant, but not too soon to eulogize Sheri ian, in connection with the high- est office in the gift of the people. But would it not be well to ask whether the gallant Sheri- dan himself would be willing to have his name opposed to that of his great commander? The aspect of affairs in Europe becomes daily more alarming. During the late struggle, in which were engaged Prussia, Austria and Italy, the blood-loiting, though large, does not appear to have been sufficient to allay the war fever. More blood, it is evident, must be drawn before Europe can settle down into a condition of permanent repose. Our latest news by the Atlantic cable is as amusing as it is warlike. The Prussian papers denounce Napoleon for writing a letter to King William and volunteering advice in the matter of North Schleswig. The Moniteur, the organ of the French government, gives the lie to the Prussian journals, The Prussian journals again give the lie to the Monileur. Meanwhile, Lord Stanley, in the British House of Commons, in reply to a question whether Napoleon had written such a letter, answered in the affirmative, but deemed it unwise, in present circumstances, to disclose its contents. The Moniteur is again caught at its well known tricks. This time, however, the discovery has been painfully premature. The Moniteur will, no doubt, have something to say in explana- tion, but the world generally will remain con- vaved that it is safest to accept the language of the French government journal in the op- posite sense, y We do not, however, wonder much that Napoleon should have interfered in the matter of North Schleawig. Our wonder rather is that interference has not been general on the part of all the great Powers. Prussia has behaved badly to the North Schleswigers and to Denmark, and unless spe speedily repairs the wrong she has done she will bring down upon her head the indignation of mankind. She has not fulfilled the obligations imposed upon her by the treaty of Prague. The root of the evil, however, does not lie in this matter, The peace of Europe is in danger from other and deeper causes. The North Schleswig question may be got over as that of Luxemburg was got over. Prussia will not submit to dictation from France; but Prussia, at least, is nol unwilling to be reasonable, and the presumption is that the difficulty between her and Denmark will be satisfactorily ar ranged. War between France and Prussia at an early day will not be the less certain that this other pretext for it shall have disappeared. The Moniteur may get out of its difficulty ; the North Schleswig question may be settied ; other falsshoods may be explained away, and other difticulties may be removed ; but still the real difficulty will remain, and the peace of Europe wil! be insecure. Why is it, then, that in spite of repeated assurances {o the contrary, both on the one side and on the other, the world is in almost hourly expectation of learning that the armies of France and Prussia have met in deadly collision on the ancient battle fields of Europe? To this question many answers might be given ; but we know of only one, which is both simple and adequate. France is jealous of the grow- ing strength of Prussia, and Prussia is indig- nant at the haughty pretensions of France. France, with a Nepoleon at its head, is nothing it it cannot dictate to its neighbor. Prussia, young, vigorous and self-reliant, will submit to dictation from no one. France, formerly sur- rounded by 2 number of small and impotent States which had no choice but to obey her, finds it difficult to get reconciled to her new posi- tion, confronted as she is on every side by na- tions as proud and as powerful as herself. Prussia, flushed with success, and confident of her strength, will bow the knee to no one, not even to France. France will not abandon her position asthe umpire of Earope. Prussia will not recognize that position until the right to it be proved. The antagonism is complete. Noth- ing can make the two nations friends but an open trial of strength. France is not unwilling to fight, but she would rather it were unneces- sary. Prussia is fearless and defiant. War, in fact, between the two Powers has become a necessity. Its postponement can have no other effect than to lengthen out @ state of uncer- tainty which will be damaging to the commer- cial interests of Europe and the world. Diplomacy wiil no doubt be willing to do its utmost to avert the horrors of war. The case, however, is one in which it is difficult to see what diplomacy could do which it has not already done. It is doubiful, too, if either party will longer listen to the voice of the peacemaker; nor is it improbable that a vigorous and decisive blow may render diplo- macy as impossible as impotent. If war does break out it igdifficul: to predict what dimen- sions it may assume. The presumption is that the other Powers will remain neutral. Neither Great Britain nor Austria nor Italy have such interes's at stake as warrant their interference. The interests of Russia lie in another direction, and it would not surprise us if, seizing the opportunity, she settled a loag vexed question by marching to Constantinople. en The Alien Oath. In the discussion of the registry laws in the Convention on Tuesday unsuccessful efforts were made to secure uniformity in their require. ments throughout the State. Equally unsuc- cessful were the amendments proposed by Mr. Barto, “ that the oath of the applicant for regis- try as to his citizenship shall be deemed suffi- cient,” and by Mr. Develin, “that no distinc- tion shall be made in any such laws between a native born and a naturalized citizen.” The amendment of Mr. Barto was lost by a vote of 38 to 75, and that of Mr. Develin by a vote of 42 to 75. Mr. Develin complained, not without reason, against our seeking to place every pos- tible obst: in the way of foreigners, whom we invite “to come here to build railroads and canals and to perform our housework.” ‘The oath of an alien is received in all judicial proceedings. Why should it not be equally valid at the registrar’s office? It would be as easy and as eafe for the evil disposed to forge naturalization papers as to swear falsely. The opposition in the Convention to the proposed amendments was no less unreasonable and ridiculously absurd than it was overwhelming. The Redskins. The government has et length hit upon the brilliant plan of crowding all the Indians into Northwestern Texas. Commissioners are to meet early in August at St. Louis and arrange the details. Of all the blind schemes that have been proposed this is the blindest. Apaches, Comanches, Arapahoes, Blackfeet, Crows, Kiowas, Cheyennes, Gros Ventres and Sioux are all to be crowded in together—a glorious happy family. Scalps, with the ears and eyes on, will be cheap in the market when this arrangement is effected. Before these unman- ageable fellows can be caged it will cost usa war of fitty years’ duration. The Indians are not fools, have some courage and outfight our regular troops. It is estimated that the whole cost of caging them will not exceed the ex- pense of a year’s warfare against them. Who has made this wise calculation? We call for the mathematical data upon which it may be based. We cannot take care of the few North- western Texas tribes that already inbabit that frontier. Mexico is to-day rolling up « fearful bill of reclamations against us for depredations committed by our Indians. Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, Cohabuila and Northern Durango have been swept clean of pastoral wealth by our Comanche, Apache and Lipan tribes, who make periodical inroads upon Mexican ter- titory. One hundred millions of dollars demanded to corral the Indians! If we are to expend that amount, why not spend it sensibly, in Hatching an Addied Ege. The fuss made by the copperhead papers at this particular juncture about the exchange of prisoners during the war is an attempt to throw dirt where none will stick. Their right bower, Ould, as a high controlling authority in the disposition of Union prisoners, was mixed up, no one can say how far, in the atrocities of Andersonville, Salisbury Pen and Libby Prison. His oath cannot be received against that of any decent man. Ould is emphatically & bad egg. All the batching in the world will | society? At present they produce tbsolutely Aothing, and it costs, dirootly and indixecdy.an enormous amount to support them. If they be penned up, a8 suggested, in the deserts of Northwestern Texas, it will be making a bad matter worse, and our Indian war will be far from finished, The time has come when the remnants of the tribes which inhabit the United States territory must incorporate themselves into the communities of whites as these settle their lands and build cities around them. Al! plans which have not.this object in view only occasion a useless expenditure of the public money and a constant turmoil upon our frontier. This plan will satisfy the philantbro- pists and the extermination theorists also ; for the Indian will soon die out in contact with the white, while the extinction will take place in a eufficiently peaceful manner to please the most flighty poet. Let us adopt the incorpora- tive plan, and we shall soon have an end of our Indian difficulties. The Abu of Momey. The plethora of money just now in all the great centres of commerce is remarkable, and probably unprecedented. The Bank of Eng- land, which is the unerring barometer of the financial condition of Great Britain, has its coffers so full that the rate of interest is reduced to two anda half per cent, with some talk of reducing it to two per cent. It was the same with the Bank of Franoe. Tho, former had twenty-two and a half millions sterling in its vaults and the latter over thirty-three millions sterling. This extraordinary accumulation of specie shows 2 wonderful change since a year ago, when the Bank of Engjand rate of interest was ten per cent, But such is the abundance of money outside the banks, as well as in them, that itcan be had both in London and Paris from other parties at one and a half per cent interest. Here, too, in New York, though the interest is almost always much higher than in Europe, money is very abundant, and may be had at five per cent. In fact, a few days ago it was only four per cent on government securities, The United States Treasury has probably as much specie in its vaulis as the Bank of Eng- land, or more. The July statement has not yet been mide, but the probability is that the amount will be equal to twenty-three or twenty- four millions sterling. Thus, there is at present accumulated in these three great national in- stitutions the enormous amount of about four hundred millions of dollars in specie. This, however, represents only a small portion of the money in various forms that is afloat. What isto be done with all this available capital? The holders are looking out for op- portunities to invest it. If peace should be preserved, France may find opportunities for a large portion of her surplus money on the Continent of Europe, though a portion of that even may find its way to this country, on ac- count of the superior advantages and higher interest here. Should there be war between France and Germany, as how appears probable, the government will absorb a good deal, and a portion will be hoarded, while some may fly to this and other foreign countries. But what is to be done with the abundance of money in England? The United States ig the propor field for British capital. Although we have at this financial centre just now an easy money market there is a demand for capital through- out other parts of the country beyond the means New York has of supplying it. Besides, the interest which would not satisfy our capi- talists would be large for the Europeans. A thousand legitimate and paying enterprises can be founi here. The country in every section is tecming with undeveloped wealth, waiting the application of that surplus money found in England. The South, particularly, is full of natural resources. Money is much needed, and if used there now will in a few years re- turn immense profits to those who invest. Thatsection, beyond all question, is the richest portion of the continent. Its political troubles are approaching a settlement; and when these are sottled, slavery being abolished, both capi- tal and emigration must naturally flow there. Here, then, ia the best field for the employment of British as well as American capital. And now, while money is so much needed, 2nd be- tore the full tide of prosperity sets in, is the time to make the best bargains and to secure the greatest advantages, Lot the capitalists of England, who can get only one and a half per cent for money, and in the best times not over three to five, bring it here, where they can ob- tain a much higher interest in the safest in- vestments. The Old World is approaching the limit of development, while we are just begin- ning. Money will double itself here in a third the time it can in England. This is the natural outlet for the surplus capital of Europe, as it is for the surplus population. Theatrical Revival. The prospects now being held out to our theatre loving people are encouraging in the extreme. The old fashioned, uncomfortable and ill ventilated: houses are disappearing one by one. Newtheatres, more adapted to the wants of the day, and for elegance and com- fort unsurpassed even in London or Paris, are soon to take their place. Pike’s Opera House, which when finished will be one of the finest theatres in the world, is being hastened for- ward. Stuart, we understand, is about to build ® theatre which it is intended shall be the favorite home of the comic muse, and where, we trast, he may make many even more suc- cessful hits than he has now made in securing the little favorite Lotta. Of Booth, it ig ru- mored that he means to build a house which is to be the home of tragedy. Manager Grau, who hagreleased the French theatre, brings back to us Ristori. Bateman has just retarned full of hope and enterprise for the coming winter. He has engaged a splendid French operatic troupe, and has brought with him o large collection of Offenbach’s finest pieces. The promise certainly is good. Let us hope that the success will be such as shall reward meritorious enterprise. Mere Mexican Steries. In the Mexican official correspondence we give elsewhere will be found a remarkable -statement with regard to Marshal Basaine. General Diaz says that the French soldier offered to band over to him Maximilian, Marquez, Miramon, and the cities of Mexico, Puebla and Vera Craz, on conditions that be tejected because they were dishonorable.

The remains of the deceased arrived at the church at eleven o'clock, when @ procession formed in tho following order:— OMctating clergy, Rev. Dra. Dver, Higbio and McVickar. Pull bearers, Judge Rooasvelt, Hamil- William Betts, Prof Drosier, Dr. Tenay, ‘ Strong, Judge Hoffman, 0.

Hin- ton, the facuity of Columbia College, atumat of Colunbia College and friends of the deceased. After the impres- sive burial service tho face of the dead was uacovered, and as the concourse of scholars and friends passed up the aisle and looked for the last time upon the strong features—not unlike those of Emerson—of the karned man, the sceno was indeed solemn and impressive. Tho Tomains were interred in the cemetery adjoining the church, and the cool morning, tho beautiful place of in- terment and the large concourse of scholars and friends in attendance, ail impressed one as especially fitting to the conclusion of such a life. Coroven Messmore Convatescina,—-Yesterday morning the Heratp announced tho illness of Colonel J. KE.

At tho latest accounts last evening the Colonel was progressing favorably, and his physician says that he will be able to resume his official duties in about a week's time. Metrorouitan Fire Commissionans,—The Board of Fire Commissioners met yesterday morning, tho President in the chair. After the roll was called a number of unim- portant papers were read and referred to approprialo committees.

The police, who are always on the lookout for the many sailor runners and water thteves who lurk about the ships freshly arrived in quarantine, perceived at an early hour a suspicious look- ing boat near a ship that had jast hoisted the yellow flag, started in pursuit, and the boat mare off immediately in the direction of Delaware Bay straight across the wide strotch of water ii bay. A “stern chase’’ is proverbially ‘a long one,” and the present was no ception to the rule, but the police, who were the stronger crew, gradua'ly gained on the other, Just, however, as ‘were hauling up to them, a steam tug which was near at hand threw out @ line to the other boat, and took off the pirates triumphantly from thoir pursaers, ‘The police, of course, thea gave up the contest, vowing, however, to take it out of the other men some day when they could manage to caich them, SvProsep Surcipr.—Roundsman Deever, of the Elov- enth precinct, yesterday afternoon found a suit of clothes on the pier foot of Sixth street, Fast river, and in one of the pockets of the coat a note, of which the following is a copy:—‘“Charley—I have resorted to every means of getting work, but do not succeed. Yes- terday I was examined for the army, as 1am compelled to do #0 on account of not getting work. I Lavo been compelled to walk the streets for the las: two nights, having nowhere togo. I did not eat a movthfa! ail day yesterday. I have to report to-day at two P.M.
