We feel that Galileo must have been wiser than he meant, when, on rising from his knees before the inquisitors, he could not help mut in the Chancery Court at Toronto, to recover the rebel privateer Georgian, which was intended by Thompson to depredate on the lakes during the late war.

The stock market was weak and excited yesterday. Governments were strong. Gold was frm and closed at 14056. Owing to the inclemency of the woather there was ‘not the usual amount of business consummated in com- mercial circles yesterday, the markets being exceedingly quiet, though im some there was fair degree of anima- tion.

But if wo remember that Abdul Aziz Khan belongs rather to what is etyled the rational- istic echool of the Montasales, which dates from the eighth or ninth century, than to that of El Ashari,.the father of:the Jater.orthodox theo- logy, aud that he hag not only favored European customs, but has even played Henry the Eighth, by secularizing the Moaque lands in Turkey, we shall not, perhaps, be so much surprised at his declaration of sympathy with the spirit of the present age. It is true that the Koran, the sacred book of the Mohammedan religion, is venerated as the code that regulates all ethical, civil, political, criminal and military concerns of the Moslems, as weil asthe chief literary treasure of the Arabic language; and that the Soona, or tradi- tions, are scarcely less venerated by most Mos- lems, as regulating, conjointly with the Koran, the doctrines, rites and ceremonies of the Mo- hammedans, and determining the interpretation of the Koran. Itis alsoa popular idea that whatever is not authorized by the Koran is prohibited by it, which would cut off at once all realization of modern ideas; and there- fore devout sheiks of the Puritan sects of Moslemism have obstinately opposed every modern invention, from the cut of Parisian coats and pantaloons to American steamboats and telegraphs. Nevertheless, Mobammedans who conscientiously abstain from wine be- cause it is expressly forbidden by the Koran, just as conscientiously get drunk on the strong, fiery liquors which do not happen to be pro- hibited. And surely it will not be impossible for the enlightened Sultan to induce complais- aut sheiks to interpret the Koran in such a way as to facilitate his obvious wish to introduce into Turkey the latest improvements of modern civilization. At the same time—although we remember that Islamiam itself was originally and pro- fessedly an improvement on Paganism, on Judaism and on the effete Christianity of the Eastern Church—we cannot abandon our im- pression that in entering on the path of human progress at thia late period the Sultan is biting his own nose off. We cannot readily see how the fierce religion of the sword can consist with modern ideas of religious liberty, or how a representative essembly can consist with the patriarchal government which led the Sultan’s vassal, the Viceroy of Egypt, on one occasion, when he wished to buy the farm of @ poor Mussulman who refused to part with the in- heritance of his fathers, angrily to exclaim, “But Iam your father !” and to order the canals to be cut off, so that the Innds of his victim be- came worthless and had to be sold. No; we must hold the speech of the Sultan, noble as seems the spirit which animates it, to be the death knell of Islamism. And curiously aos we know ancient systems of error may be ad- justed to the later developments of truth, we cannot hope that “the sick man” ot the East can be cured—at least in Europe, even by re- course to such a desperate remedy as the adop- tion of the modern civilization of the West. “All business or news letters and telegraphic despatches must be addressed New Yor Herat.

The results and developments of the Tennes- see election are well calculated to astonish and perplex the managing politicians and news- paper organs of both the great political parties of the day. Ourdemocratic contemporaries of this city know not what to think or what tosay of this great event in Tennessee, although its meaning is 80 clear and boldly defined that he who runs may read it. The Brooks Brothers, of the Express, sticking like wax to their latest faith of the copperhead creed, are in a tower- ing passion, and flame away, in their real old Southern fire-eating style, against the despot- ism, the tyranny and the Brownlow usurpations of despotic power, which have made this Ten- nessee election an outrage, a mockery and a farce. The usually loquacious and long-winded Mantilini of the World is struck dumb, posi- tively dumb—yea, dumb as an oyster—for he has not yet opened his mouth on this mourn- fully suggestive Tennessee election. On the other hand, the Times, which is astride the republican fence one'day, on the left hand side the next day, and on the right hand side the day after, and frequently on the fence and on both sides in the same act of ground and lofty tumbling, thinks “ that the triumph of the Brownlow faction proves only the success with which it has manipulated the registration of voters ;” that “as an indication of State feeling or policy it amounts to nothing ;” and pom- pously asks, “ With four-fifths of the whites dis- franchised, and with the registration altogether in the hands of Brownlow and his men, what signifies the vote of Thursday last?” Grecley, who, when the occasion suils him, can see through the hole of a millstone, answers this question in the passing remark that “ the result of this clection means tae triumph of the repub- lican party in the South.” This is the perplexing feature of the case to our copperhead contemporaries. Throughout the war, and ever since the war, their game has been to recover to the Northern rump of the old democratic party its old Southern bal- ance of power, and, like desperate gamblers, they have played for these stakes until they have lost everything in capital or credit they could command. They have ruined themselves, they have ruined President Johnson, and now they cannot fail to see in this Tennessee elec- tion that they have turned over the South into the hands of the Medes and Persians. Hence the wrath of the flery Brooks Brothers, the sul- len silence of Monsieur Mantilini, and bence, too, asa tight rope walker with his balanc>- pole, the pooh-poohing of the dignified little philosopher who has slipped on the editorial jacket of Greeley’s “litile villain.” The essential point which all these partisan critics ignore in this Tennessee election 1s the negro vote. It matters nothing, looking to this negro vote, whether four-fifths or nine-tenths of the whites were disfranchised. The negroes were allowed the suffrage; they were free to vote as they pleased ; and we are assured by intelligent eye-witnesses that the Tennessee conservatives left no stone unturned to gain the support of the negroes, and yet en masse they have gone for Brownlow and the republi- can ticket. In this thing lies the significant and imporiant fixed fact of this election, The solid vote of the negroes of Tennessee for the republican ticket unmistakably foreshadows the same unbroken front of the blacks in every other Southern State, It has been shown, too, from the registration records of each of the ten outside States that there is but little doubt that with the solid negro vote the republicans will carry them all, from the first jump to the last step in the work of reconstruction. The Northemm democracy, then, looking to the next Presidency, have nota leg left them to stand upon or e peg to hang by, and so the sooner, a3 a separate party, they are disbanded and reconstructed, the better it will be for them. Nor have the Northern republicans any alternative left them now but equal rights in the way of negro suffrage from Maine to Cali- fornia, And while they are about it they might just as wel! put in the Indians and Chi- nese as to postpone their equal claims as citi- zens. If whites and blacks are made equal, why should the yellow and copper skins be ex- cluded? As the constitution now stands, or will etand with the pending amendment adopted, we are not sure that Sumner is wrong in his theory that Congress has the power over this subject. In any event, this Tennessee election, in settling the “manifest destiny” of the Southern States, winds up the Northern rump of the old democratic party and whittles down the Pyesi- dential issue of 1868 to the narrow point whether General Grant as a candidate will unite or divide the republicans in the election. We think that, from the pressure of public opinion, they will be compelled to unite upon him, as the whigs were coerced to unite upon old Zach Taylor in 1848. We think it proba- ble that Grant in 1868, like Monroe in 1820, will be elected as by general consent. If so, then, as after that fasion of the old parties on Monroe, we shall have the beginning of a new organization of parties, with new leaders and neW issuce, adapted to the new departure of the Union restored and regenerated on tho Ddasis of antversal liberty, and adapted also to meet our financial embarracsmenigs NEW STADT THEATRE, 45 and 47 Bowery.—Tae Pexe or Day—Cousin ScuNxtpER.

When the enterprising firm of Ticknor & Fields became publishers of the North American Review they saw the necessity of having more vitality infused into it than its decorous dulness had previously admitted. They wished ‘to extend its influence somewhat beyond “the vicinity of Boston,” which, according to a re- cent definition, includes the whole of Massa- chusetts. Accordingly they selected as its editor James Russel Lowell, the successor of the poet Longfellow as a Professor at Harvard University, himself a poet of distinction. His connection with the University, it was thought, would retain for the North American the suf- frages of the old fogies who had been in the habit of dozing over it all their lives; while the younger generation of the Brahmin class in New England, as well as the public at large, could not fail to be interested by the author of the “Biglow Papers” —those very clever and patriotic pamphlets in verse which have made him known as a sort of poeti- cal Jack Downing. His pen had been sharp- ened, moreover, by his experience as a jour- nalist of the radical wing of the anti-slavery party. He soon succeeded in raising the Re- view from the obscurity into which it had fallen. But, not content with giving greater variety and more interest of what the French call actualité to the pages of the North Ameri- can, he panis after the notoriety which is so often mistaken for fame, and with the advice and consent of his brother professors he has invoked the aid of certain anonymous contri- butors, who are specially hired not to praise Boston—which, to the true Bostonian, is ineffably high above all human praise— but to curse and abuse New York. These Bohemian contributors, whose quar- terly tirades are redolent of ager beer and tobacco, come down like night upon New York, its society, its press, its Corporation, its judiciary. The ridiculous mistakes which they make ia treating of all these topics betray the foreign origin of writers who find that it pays better to do their dirty work here than in London. Their prototypes in Grab street were less lucky than they are. But their blunders remind us of the prayer with which « reverend and witty American reviewer concluded his notice of Harriet Martineau’s account of her tour in the United States, The reviewer prayed that it might be long before we should be visited by another euch an infliction—a spin- ster to instract our wives as to their household duties, « free thinker to preach to our cergy, end @ deaf woman to criticise our ortors.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 4, 3867. | WASHINGTON. cy aaa 81 city. The trash with which Mr. Lowell, the re- sponsible editor of the North American, permits them to defile its pages is unworthy of serious reply. It offers but a handful of grain with o bushel of chaff, For the same price, and from the same hands, might be purchased equally violent diatribes against the society and insti- tutions of Boston or any other city. Indeed, it need cost nothing for the editor of the North American to learn that many severe things might too truly be said of the morals, or rather what @ certain judge used to call the im- morals, of Boston and its vicinity, including the clergy, and not excepting the unhappy parson who was lately allowed to resign his seat in the Massachusetts Legislature; that |, rowdyism may be exhibited as shamelessly by college boys at a regatta as by Bowery b’hoys; that corporation “rings within rings” are by 20 means wholly unknown oatside of New York ; and that in the vast population of this metropo- lis, notwithstanding all that may be said against it, there must be more of those right- cous ones that save a city and greater product- ive energy in business, manufactares, science, literature, art and every other ephere of legiti- mate human soctivity, than in Boston and Cam- bridge both rolied into one. Kessuth Tarned Up Again. The Atlantic cable brings the sews that Louis Kossuth has been chosen, without a dis- senting vote, to represent the city of Waitzen as a member of the Hungarian Diet. Now, Kossuth prides himself, like Lamartine in France, as being “a man of 1848,” and conse- quently, as an extremist, must regard Deak, through whose instrumentality the actual re- conciliation of the kingdom of Hungary and tho Austrian empire has been brought about, with even more bitter hatred than he regards the Austrians themselves. He might, therefore, prove a firebrand in the Hungarian Diet, were it not that he has probably lost all but the memory of his once powerful revolutionary presiige. Included in the recent amnesty to political exiles, he has returned to his native country, and his election as a member of the Diet is rather a compliment to him as having acted @ conspicnous part in the past than an earnest of any Influence which he is likely to exert as a popular leader in the present. SYMPATHY WITH THE PATRIOTS OF SCHLESWIG. The sympathy which has already found expression among many of the nationalities of Eurepe for the peo- ple of the Danish nation wilt ere long find a sincere and generous response from the people of this country. Ever alive to the sufferings of any people, and ready to bestow, even with a lavish hand, assistance when help is needed, it 1s hardly possible that the address of the Scandinavians of the United States will be allowed to pass without an expression worthy alike of the Uaited States and the courage and patriotism of the Danish population of Schieawig. The Prussian government, in refusmg to carry out the stipulations of the treaty of Prague, by which the division of Schleswig was bound to bs decided by a popular ‘vote of its own people, has awakened a feeling of bonest indignation throughout neaply the entire of Europe for the suffor- ings of this courageous people. Debarred from the privilege of choosing their own rulers, subjected to per- socution for their loyalty to Denmark, they have been reduced to the necessity of forsaking their own nation- ality and becoming the vassals of a Power with which they have no sympathy and in whose government they bave oH coniidence. a ray! through her Corps Legis- latif, has already 8} io their 3 Peo- ple a on to their feelings in the mat- share in an expression on a subject which attracts the atiention of the whole civilized world. Jt is certainly not too much to ask that a people shall be allowed tho vote of a choice of country, and when a portion of the Danish people dosire that ili shall be their privilege, a denial on the part of that Power which sooms to controt thoir free and untrammelled vote tinctures highly of an act of unjustifiable usurpation, which caunot be allowed to pass unnoti The appeal, therefore, of the =can- dinavians of the United States in behaif of the sufferings of the patriots of tneir mother country will not fail in moeting with that sympathetic aid from all true lovers Of the liberties of this Scandinavian poopie, THE FRENCH IRON-CLAD ONONDAGA. @he return of the monitor Onondaga, which was re- cently sold to the French government and started on her passage Europe, has given rise to many rumors about her. surmise incidentally mentioned in yes- terday’s Heratp as to the reason of ber return is sub- stantially correct; but there were other causes which prevented her from prosecuttng her voyage, From inquirtes made on board the monitor berself, and information obtained from the French frigate Thémis and the Mercedita, which vessels accompanied her, it ap- pears that the Onondaga really started for sea on Wed- nesday morning, the 3lst ultimo. She weighed anchor at seven o'clock A. M. ang left Sandy Hook in tow of the Mervedita at about eight o'clock A.M. The wind was light and the sea calm, but the weather was generally showery and variable, The rate at which the monitor pursued her way was rather siow, «3 sue only made about some two and « half miles per hour, the Mercedita being unable to tow her any faster, as she was di laden with coal; besides, the tow rope, a sixteen inch bhawser, was, it is said, too weighty for ihe pur a wind an the Onondaga would not steer at all. She yawed from side to side repeatediy, along nearly at rigl dita, This caused innumerable bights to bawser and diminished the already vessels, On gaining the open sea clear over the Onondaga, made a aft, end poured down inte ber nold. are used to fill the boiler would not some eighty miles from had been about twenty-nine This was at half-past two o'clock On had the Western Branch of the Pacific Railroad.’ San Francisco, August 2, 1867, ‘The United States steamer Resace has arrived here from Panama, with yellow fever on board.

The Order Remeving General Sheridue Roady te be Issued—The Heasone Assigned for His Removal. ; It was rumored to-day that the order removing Gen- jasued by President Johbngon. 1 have it on the best that such is mot the fact; but I have good reason to believe that the order is all ready, and would have been issued some time ago but for some little hitch that bas not yot been removed. After all I believe that there is s lack of backbone in quarters where great stiffness was expected. Combina- tions have been formed that embarrass the President in bis policy and render him uncertain how to act, whether eral Sheridan had to push forward boldly or to recede. Is to rumored now that there is s defection im the Cabinet, and that another member besides Stanton has Kicked against the anti-Sberidan policy. However this may be, I believe the President will not yield in bis determination to remove “Little Pbil.'’ The order will assign as a cause for the stop that Sheridan himself ie an tmpediment in the way of rational and constitutional reconstruction, and that, therefore, he should be re- moved in the same way that Sheridan himself removed Governor Wella, of Louisiana. It will direct General Hancock to assume command of the district, and to 60 adrataister the taws of Congroes as to conflict as little an ‘tmaay be with the letter and apiritof thecoustitution. ‘fhe President belidves that, though the recent asta of Coa- gress clothe military coinmanders with absolute power, silt these commanders should use the utmost inoretion and exercise their powers 60 a to bear as lightly @s possible upon the people, and so aa to give satisfaction in their districts. He considers that Sheridan has not thus actea; that he bas been unwise, arbiirary without cause, and in many instances despotic in the exercise of power. Some other person, he there- fore considers, equally petriotic and far more efficient and discroet, should be substituted§for him as com. mander of the Fifth Military district, In Genoral Han- cock be believes such a man will be found. The Proposed Assembi manders at Washington. ‘The difficulty in the way of Sheridan's removal has suspended for the present the project of summoning all the military commanders to Washington for a gen- eral conference, The idea, however, has not been abandoned. of the Military Com- No Complaints Against Goneral Pepe. Statements have been made recently in some of the New York papers that a deputation of people from Ala- ama waited upon the President and preferred com- plaints against General Pope. The only knowledge the President has of the matter is the statements of these Rewspapers. No such committee waited upon tho Presi. dent, and no recent complaints have been made against Pope, The Civil and Military Authorities in Wil- mington, N. C., Variunce—Precesses of Chief Justice Chase’s Courts Obstructed by the Milltary. Marshal Goodloe, of the district of North Carolina, bas reported to the Attorney General that the process of the United States Circuit Court lately held by Chie! Justice Chase is obstructed by order of Lieutenant Colonel Frank, commanding tho post of Wilmington. The ground is expressly mentioned in the order to be that in each of the cases obstructed the cause of action adju- dicated by Judge Chase accrued between the 19th of December, 1860, and the 16th of May, 1865, General Sickles’ Order No. 10 having forbidden judges to enter- tain any suits for matters accruing between those dates, The Marshal supposes that General Sickles did not mean to inclade the courts of the United States, but those of the States. Colonel Frank intorprets the order differ- ently, Marshal Goodioe has suspended action until he hears from Genoral Sickles or receives instructions from Wastington, being anxious to: avoid collision, but firmly resotved upon his duty. Chief Justice Chase isin Washington. This matter is regarded asa very grave event, although the impression prevails that the commandant at Wilmington has acted without the knowledge of General Sickles, who is confidently ex- ected to disapprove his action, The Marshal’s course has been approved at the Attorney General’s office, but ‘no steps will be taken until time shall have elapsed for ‘& report from the commanding general.
