Evorybody is fying from the contagion, and the dead bodies aro left as a proy to the dogs. MISCELLANEOUS. President Jobason yesterday addressed a note to Sec- rotary Stanton requesting him to resign his seat in the Cabinet. Mr. Stanton's answer will probably be received toutay. Our Vora Cruz correspondence is dated July 16. Among the Americans resident in tho city great disaifec- tio waa expressed at tho action of Secretary Seward in appointiag Otterbourg, whose commission as Minister, ft was rumored, had arrived by the cutter Wilderness. 1c waa stated that his antecedents were all in favor of the reactioaary party, and, on attempting at one time to eect an agreemont between Bazaine and Porfino Diaz, for the surrender of Mexico city, the latter refused to have anything to do with the matter on account of Ottervourg’s connection therewith. About one thou- eand Austrians were in the country unable, for want of racana, (o got back to Europe. By way of Brazos, news comos to the effect that Juarez had published an address to the people congratulating them on having, anass!sted, brought the war toa successful issue, A general am- nosty, accompanied by a division of the country Into military districts is favored by the press. Admiral Palmer, of the United States navy, had left Vera Cruz oa bis way to Mexico city, accompanied by his staff, for the purpose, it is said, of demanding the person of Santa Aca Marquez and Quiroga had been discovered, bat had cut through their guards and escaped. ther reports state that Juarez is the unanimous choice for tho Presidency, bat that he declines a revomination, be- cause be dreads to be prominent in the storm that he believes ts about to overwhelm the country. Carlos Mira- moa, @ brother to Maximilian’s general, and Marquez himself, are reported to be at the head of large com- mands in the interior waiting an opportunity to avenge the death of their leaders, They were said to be ro- oviving daily large accessions to their forces. The elec- tion (or President was quietly progressing. The steamer Rlzabeth was about leaving for New Orleans, tho Mexi- cans finally refusing to deliver up Maximilian's body. Our Havana letter is dated July 31. Great prepara- tions were going on to celebrate tho iaying of the Gulf cavie, United States currency remained at twenty-five por cont discount, Sugar was quiet. ‘Tho dates from St. Domingo are to the 20th ult. The national Congress had suspended operations for want of @ quorum. The whole country was tranquil.

The import daty bas been varard three per cent. Mr, Pierrepont continued his argument to the jury in the Surratt case yesterday, and will conclude to-day. stated the remarkable fact that Mr. Lincoln told bis Cabinet on the 14th of April that be had bad a dream the previous night which portended disaster to the country, and was iM consequence uneasy about General Sherman, who was then in South Carolina That night (no assassination occurred. Ta the Coastitutional Convention yesterday no quoruin waa present, and a call of the Convention was ordered, Sixty-shree members were absent, and on motion those ‘who were not excused wore declared in contempt. The ‘Sergoant-at-Arms was despatched to bring in such mem- bors as wore then in Albany. A recess was taken, and in the evening session the main business transacted was the receiving of the excuses of recusant members. Negroes who voted the radical ticket in the late Ten- mossee election are being discharged in great imbers by their conservative employers. Judge Lawrence has been appointed by General Carlin to take charge of all Ghus discharged, but it is found almost impossible to nd labor for them. Some of the conservative papers recommend this proscription as a wholesome mode of showing the negroes who are their best friends. Aa altercation occurred between John Minor Botts ‘and Mr. Mawkshurst, both of whom are serving on Jadgo Underwood's jury, in Richmond yesterday, Botts ecoused Hawkshurst of using trickery in the late Con. voation, whereupon Hawkshurst denied the charges, andin @ note to Judge Underwood declined to serve ‘any longer on the samme jury with Botts, The Kentucky State election came off yesterda; salting in a democratic victory by ® majority ‘estimated at from 35,000 to as high as 60,000. The lead. tng candidates elected are John L. Helm, to be Governor, and J. W. Stevenson, to be Lioutenamt Governor, the Fost of the offices contended for being maialy members of tho Legiatatare. On iynday morning » prise Gght, as asual, took place NEW YORK, HERALD, TUKSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1067. back of West Hoboken, during the progress of which one of the pugiliets was strack with a bottie by an outsider for having beon gufity of a foul biow. Agonoral fight onsued, in which fifteen to twonty persona wore badly cut and injured, and a cry of “police” was raised just in time to prevent the killing of same of them, No arrests were made, as the authorities wore too slow, Secretary Seward left Aubura, for Wasbington yester day afternoon. Captain Arm®, of the Tenth cavalry, with about forty men of the samo regiment, bad « gallant fight with a large party of indians on the Ist irstant, im which he was surrounded, but cut bis way out, He rcturaed to Fort Hayes, hotly pursued by the Indians, and obtain- ing a reinforcement started again to give them battie. Acase of alleged crim. con. has been developed in New Brunswick, N. J. The wife ofa promineat manu- facturer was, it is said, recently discovered in a position of undue intimacy with one of the Aldermen of the city, who has been arrested end lodged in jail. A fomale missionary from Boston, of the colored per- suasion, lectured last aight at Richmond on the “Hour ot tho Nation's Opportunity," by which was moant the opportunity of inaugumting a national system of uni- versal suffrage, General Popo has ordered that all sults in civil courts against soldiers for acts performed by order of the military authories shall be discontinued and not here- after entertained. General Sheridan has removed tho city treasurer of New Orleans and appointed Stodéart Howell in his place. A fire occured in Petrolia, Canada, among the oil wolts, on Saturday night, by which ton wells wore destroyed, involving @ loss of $80,000. A young man named Johanson, living in Fairfield, Ohio, recently confessed to having ravished a little girl in that Place, whose dead body was found sovera! wecks ago in Jobnson’s stable, The citizens attemptod to lynch him, but his friends rescued him. Accounts from Charleston represent the crops on Sea Islands as improving. Tho August term of the Gonoral Sessions commenced yesterday, Recorder Hackett prosiding. The Grand Jury will be sworn in this morning at ten o’ctock, The stock market was feverish yesterday, and the fluctuations were wide and frequeat. Governments were steady. Gold closed at 1403. The Great Question of the Day. A portion of the radical pres, afraid of the overwhelming popularity of General Grant, and afraid that he will not be a pliant instrument in its hands, insidiously asrails him and asks for a suspension of public opinion on the ques- tion ot the next Presidency. It says the discussion is premature, that the time has not arrived to nominate a candidate, and that re- construction and the condition of our national finances are first to be considered. This is mere pretence. These radical organs know very well that the Presidential question is up prominently before the country; that it cannot be kept down, and that, in faot, it is the great question of the day, on which all others hinge. The object is apparent; these political man- agers want time to make bargains and to con- trol both the election and the candidate. The chief radical organ of this city, at the same time it uses this weak argument to head off Grant, has an elavorate puff of General Sher- idan. In truth, it pits Sheridan against Grant. Very well. We have no objection to Sheridan. There is a great deal of good stuff in him, and he has a fine military record. He would be acceptable to the people. As to General Grant, we have no doubt he would willingly give way to and cordially support his subordinate officer for the high position. His views have been well defined. He frankly admits that he is sat- isfied with the position he holds, but that if the people wish it he will take that of President. He knows that the office of President could add little. to his fame or elevation. The Gen- eral-in-Chief is little lower than the Presi- dent, and bas much less labor and care. He wants to be wherever ‘he can serve his country, and only there. In Sheridan, as well as in Grant, we should have an uncompromis- ing and vigorous supporter of American nationality, honor and influence. Had the word been given to bim when he was in com- mand on the Mexican border, with thirty thou- sand men he would have whipped the French out of Mexico worse than Wellington ever whipped them, and would have thrashed the Mexicans to boot. Sheridan is a strong card to play, but Grant is much stronger, though some of the radical politicians will not see it yet. But it is said we should settle the questions about reconstruction and the national finances before going into President making. Recon- struction is nearly settled now. The radicals, having control of the negro vote of the South, gives them all they wanted. There will be no longer any motive or reason to keep the South- ern States unrepresented in Congress. Having secured the support of that section, the domi- nant party, of course, will admit the Southern members to seats in Congress at on early day, and thus complete the work of reconstruction. This, then, we regard as a settled matter. As to the question of the national finances, that is another thing. It will take many years to adjust and pu‘ the finances on a proper foundation. The public mind is not educated yet up to this point; the press, and particularly the radical press, knows little about the mat- ter, and Congress is lamentably ignorant. Some time must elapse before this most diffi- cult and important subject can be treated in a statesmanlike manner. It cannot precede, but must follow the settlement of the next Presidency. There is neither the time nor ability to take it up before that event, though it ought to have, and probably will have, an important bearing on the issue. Looking at the utter incapacity of Congress and the want of knowledge in the press and among the people, our national finances—cur- rency, debt, revenue and everything else per- taining to them—should be left as they are till after the Presidential election and the restora- tion of the Southern States. If the subject be taken up before we are prepared for it—if the on to specie payment cry of the radical press should be heeded before Congress and the country understand the question—greater dis- asters will follow than those that followed the “On to Richmond” clamor of the same radical organs. The first thing in order, as they say in par- liamentary proceedings, is the next Presidency. That is the great question of the day. After the settlement of that will follow naturally the other great issues before the country. The public mind is aroused already, and nothing can subdue it till the event is determined. Congress will engage in hardly anything else next winter than President making. The con- ventions wil! meet in the spring, and the election will take place in little over a year from the present time. Let the people and Con- gress decide, then, to postpone the considera- tion of other important matiers till General Grant be elected, or, if the radicals will and have the power, till Sheridan be elected. Then there will be leisure and the opportunity to consider deliberately those matters that relate to the national finances, and for the reorgani- sation of parties on the natural issues growing out of the material interests of the people, Secretary Stanton Called Upe: The rumors that have been flying about for the last ten days in regard to the removal or resignation of Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, have at last received authoritative confirma- tion. President Johnson has called upon Mr. Stanton to rosign his offlce, and should he decline to do so Is prepared to remove him under the provisions of the Tenure of Office bill. Secretary Stanton’s reply has not yet boven reocived, but is expected to be laid before the Cabinet meeting to-day. This action of the President, though it has long been expected, will produce no little commotion, and proba- bly will be followed by other changes. The martyr ticket for the approaching Presidential canvass is in danger of becoming inconve- niently crowded. As to Mr. Stanton’s suc- ceasor, no appointment has yet been made. It is understood, however, that General Grant -will be requosted temporarily to discharge the duties of the office, aad i is oven surmised that the President wisbes to make Graat Socro- tary of War permanently. The Democracy and the Teamesser Blection- The democratic journals, in their efforts to explain away the decisive and significant re- sul's of the Tennessee election, give full vent to their wrath against Brownlow—tho raffian, the usurper and the despot—and his tyrannical administration, depriving the people of their rights, And then we are told that peace was maintained on election day only by tho presence of an imposing military force and the supremacy of military law. Next those democratic philosophers, turning to the negro vole, say that it is a matter of no consequence, that it surprises nobody, that everybody expected it, and that the unterrified democracy will not be hurt by it. On the contrary, they say tho inevitable excesses and foilies which will grow out ot this black republican party in the South will eo far demoralize the whole re- publican party in the North as to change the balance of power in favor of the democracy. There may be something in that, but it is look- ing some distance ahead for a drop of comfort. With regard to the ruffiiniem and despotism of Brownlow, and the violent measures of his ultra radical administration and followe:s, our indignant democratic journals leave one-half the story untold. Brownlow is a violent, ruf- filanly, boisterous demagogue, and his leading ‘Tennesseo partisans are rough customers, But are the so-calicd Tennessee conservatives any better? We guess not. According to the facts and the testimony on both sides they are just as bad and viciously inclined as Brownlow and the radicals. Senator Patterson, for example, is not a man who could be taken as a much better model of Christian forbearance, charit y, moderation or patience, than Brownlow him- self. On the score of law and order, morality, sobriety, and such like old fashioned virtues, there is not much to choose between the two parties of Tennessee; and it ie surprising that these so-called conservatives, afier four years of training and practice under the terrible des- potism of the rebellion, should whine end snap and gnarl so savagely when the tables aro turned against them. The tremendous majorities of the Tennessee radicals are not due to the merits of Brownlow or his government, but to the great ideas and programme of Southern reconstruction which they represented. The intelligence of the people, whites and blacks, rose above all this clamor and confusion of parties; and so we see in the results of this Tennessee election that the question of the Southern balance of power is settled; and the Northern de- mocracy would do well to cast about fora new departure and to prepare for the great change in our political parties and party issues whioh is sure to come. The public have been complaining for some time about the exercise of av'hority by the police in making arrests and subjecting people to unnecessary annoyance. For example, it was but too common for parties to be grabbed up upon the mosi frivolous charges, or no charge at all, and incarcerated in a station house for a whole night, and when bronght before a justice in the morniag to be discharged without any case being made out. This system is a grievance. It tends little to the end of jus- tice and adds greatly to the inconveniences of the community. We are glad, therefore, to observe that Mr. Kennedy bas issued an order requiring officers to siate on the police records, upon all occasions, the full particulars of each arrest, and the result as developed in the police courts. There have been many im- provements of late in our police management. Under the able guidance of the Commiasion- ers reforms have been accomplished that render our Metropolitan Police bardly second to any in the world, and this late order shows an advance which it is agreeable to chronicle. It was much needed, and will be hailed with general satisfaction. Superintendent Kennedy is apt to blow off too much steam now and then, but in this case he managed to do the right thing, as the order presents a splendid contrast to all those that preceded it. The police system, as now estab- lished, is the best we ever bad, and we hope that the Convention now in session to recon- struct the constitution will endeavor to estab- lish @ similar system all over the State. They bave a model in the Metropolitan Police which it would be well to follo Sou M ctures. We think it strange that we do not hear of extensive investments, powerful companies and great schemes for the introduction of manufac- turing establishments in our Southern States, from cotton and woollen factories, from iron and steel, to leather, boots and shoes and farming implements. The South bas not only the finest region in the world for cotton culture, but the best facilities and the greatest advantages for cotton manufactures to any extent, From its generous soil and mild winter climate men can live more cheaply and reslize larger profits from their creat agricultural sta- ples in the South than in the West, and vastly larger profits from manufactures of all kinds than can be made in New England or Old Eng- land if they only go properly into the business. To men of capital looking about for investments our Southern States now offer the most inviting field, and Southern manufactures, not less than Southern agricultaral products, offer the surest and largest returns on liberal outlays of cash enterprise and skilful labor, Restan. | The Constitutional Convert The Stale Convention is a failuro—am ahso- lute, hopeless, ridiculous failure. Not one member of the whole beily appreciates bis position or haa any clear idea, much less any broad and statesmanlike view, how the Con- vention may perform the duty the people expect of it. Itis an assemblage of pettifog- gers, mon whose nataral capacity fits them to be Tombs lawyers or ward politicians, and who seem to have carried into their present position no other thought than how they may reorganize our government to secure the auc- ves of some jobs or schemes of their own, how they may build themselves or their friends into office. We have seen how corrupt Legislatures reorganised our government into commissions only to put into position men who could not be voted in by the people. And this Conven- tion is of no higher calibre than those Legisla- tures were. It has the same instinots and the same objects, Its members are abusing their positions, bartering away popular right for personal advantage; not taking care to secure government wader whioh the people may be happier and whose burdens qill bear with tho loaat possible weight upon all mon, but simply taking care for their own messes of, pottage, making their games with party leaders and cich corporations. It ia over two months since the Convention met, and it has hardly touched its real duties, Tt has occupied tho greater part of that time calling for “persons and papers” and informa- tion in various other shapes on aubjects of such common knowiedze as the corrupt manage- ment of the canals, subjects of which no ogo outside the Convention is ignorant. It has discussed the nigger for weeks, that its members might air their vapid rhetoric; for a practical convention would have settled the nigger question in half an hour. In the same way it has rambled and dawdled over an infinity of subjects, some even out of its sphere; but the practical work ex- pected of it it bas left alone. What the people require are those simple changes in our con- stitution that will give asa government with an effective head. We want an Executive pos- sessed of ample powers—to have the appoint- ment of all State officers and all judges, and to have algo all police authority in his hands—and he must be elected for one year only, that his direct and obvious responsibility to the people may be some security against the abuse of his powers. This is the most important change needed. We need a change similar in character in our municipal system—an Executive with power to carry on the government and directly responsible to the people. We should have a city council also to act with this Executive in the practical discharge of city affairs--just as the board of directors manages the affairs of any private corporation; and this council and the Mayor should have the whole municipal government in their hands. With such changes fa the charactor of the respective executive offices--with the judiciary rendered non-elec- tive and city councils organized on this simpte plan--ihe people would have a better chance to be well and honestly governed than they can in any other way, and the sooner the Con- vention embodies such changes in a constitu- tional form and goes home the better. Blexicaa Jobs Coming to Light. Now that the triumph of tho Mexican repub- lic has been secured, there is a number of Mexican jobs of all sorts and sizes which will be brought out of their dark pigeon holes to be worked up. The scheme for buying Lower California is one of them ; Clarence Seward’s express business is another ; the Tehuantepec railroad a tuird. Some thirty or forty million dollars are involved in these jobs, and they take every possible shape, from a mere private speculation, a telegraph concession or a silver mine, up toa grand international colonization scheme. Most of these projects were foisted upon the country when the Juarez government was ina marching condition. They ought at once to be rescinded, now that the necessities which called them into existence have passed away. The first duty of the Mexican republic to itself and to the world is to put down State rights and the State rights generals, and to re- store industry to its peaceful channels. Till these things are done they had better let the jobs and the lobbyers severely alone. Views of General Grant. Among the mass of correzpondence we have received about General Grant and the Presi- dency is the following unique and classical nole:— New York, é Mr. Bexwert—Every one mays yon nee Stompoestok, shrewd old cuss, and can see as far into the future as the pext man. Now, that may be eo; but, James Gor- dov, ain't you a little fast just now on Grant? Ho is good enough in bis line, but can be “keep a hotel ?’’ What we want is 4 man who knows no North and no Youth, nor no nothing, but will acknowledge as his only master the party that elects bim, or clse one who is no new convert, but whose politics and views are 30 well known and prominent that you can bang your hat on any point. Now, if you can bring Grant to the ecratch, ail right; if not, then he can’t have our vote, not even to please the HaRato, MC, Jeeeees, This correspondent has hit the nail on the head when he says he and the partisan politi- cians want a candidate for President who knows nothing. They want a mere tool, who has no ideas, principies or views of his own— one who will adopt any platform they make, do as they bid him and provide offices for them. General Grant does not sult them, be- cause he does not come up to this miserable and corrupt party measure. This, however, is the reason why the Heratp nominates him and why the people will elect him. Where Will They Got The old conservative party in England are much perplexed with the question, What will these elght or nine hundred thousand new voters do which the Reform bill proposes to bring into the field, and where will they go? In the same way our ‘conservatives have been puzzled concerning the new voters, five or six hundred thousand of them, coming into the political arena with negro suffrage. The Ten- nessee election has settled the question for us for the present, and we presume a single elec- tion in England will indicate the drift of recon- struction over there. These old time conserva- tives on both sides of the water must prepare to shove off with the tide, or they will be left high and dry on the sands till the next change in the movement of the waters. Government and Private Shipbuilding. The ram Dunderberg, sold to the French government, was built by Mr. W. H. Webb, A private shipbuilder of Now York. She has just arrived safely at Cherbourg, making the passage across the Atlantic in fifteen days—an unpreoodentodly ghort (me for @ mouitor. The iron-clad Onondaga, purchased by the same Power, was built by government, and, like most of the government work, turns out a fail- ure. After the exposure we have had of the Onondaga’s unseaworthinoss, we earnestly ad- vise the French authorities never to put to sea in her again, The best thing they can do with the vessel is to hire her out as @ Sunday excur- sion boat, putting unlimited quantities of whia- key on board, and then if she should happen to go down with all bands there will be no great harm done.
