Admiral Thatcher reports that he and General MoCook, Minister resident at Hono- lulu, visited Lahama, one of the Hawaiian islands, and wore escorted to a Christian church, where tho Sunday achool children sang numerous Union war eongs tn tho Hawalian language, and “John Brown's Body” and “The Star Spangied Bauer’ in English, Further particulars of the loss of tho Dean Richmond leave but little doubt that the number of lives lost by the disaster is greater than at firat reported. It is stated by @ waiter that when the after cabin, below the main deck, was half full of water, he saw only one Man come out, although poople were sleeping there, A fireman, named Ryan, and a waiter, named Mannus, are reported missing.

Tho Corstitutional Convention met yesterday, called the roll, discovered thore was no quoram present, and adjourned. General Schofield has directed that the ballots of white and black voters shail be taken separately in the coming Virginia elections. The China has arrived at San Franciaco. The reported new islands in the Pacifio are not a myth, after ail. The United States gunboat Lackawanna is at anchor off Brooks’ faland, which ia reported to be situ- ateg in the 28th degree of iatitude, with good anchorage for \tho China Iine of steamers in eight fathoms water. Tt will be used as a depot for these steamers, anda Johnaoa conservatives—the whole batch of them, And well may the people be sick of this Gsht of the factions and “the powers that be,” whon, at the same time, under the laws of Conzress, and undor the nose of the adminis- tration, fraud and corruption, in full feather, in high and in low places, stalk forth in broad daylight, and combinations of ravenous rogues revel upon the spoils and plunder of the publio Treasury. ic whiskey frauds, cotton frauds, tobacoo trauds, petroleum frauds, and in every possible class and modification of frauds upon the in‘ern.l and external revenue, the aggro- gate losses to the Treasury, pocketed by thieves and r-oeivers, can not be less than one hun- dred and fifty millions s year, Indeed, we bave seon this figure set down Yor whiskey frands alone, and it is possibly below the mark. And then there is the financial system of Mr. Chase, Including his legion of national banks, compared with which, in its means for spolia- tions, briberios and corruptions, the old United States Bank, under Nick Biddle, was a mere ponay whistle. x Thus, while on the one hand wo are men- toed witha flood of financial spoliations and corrapiions which may overwhelm the coun- try in panic, revulsion and financial chaos, unless seasonably checked, we are throatened, on the othor band, with all the political domor alizations and confusion foreshadowed in the radical scheme of negro supremacy. Thess thins, we hold, are beginning to tell upon the public mind, and are beginning to be felt in the movements of public opinion, A counter- revolution, then, we may say, is setting in, and we look to the law-abiding and orderloving men of the republican party to lead in the great work of réformation. We look to the 8o!id Northern masses who carried us through the wir to make good the Union on the genu- ine issnes settled by the war. Lot us, in these coming elections, have an emphatic rebuke, in majorities of ton, twenty, and thirty thoasand, against the disorganizing schemes of the ram- pant radicals, against an intractable adminis- tration, against all the corruptions of the powers that be, and against all the discordant and mischief-making factions of the day, and the work of organizing a new and successful national movement for 1868 will be half ac- complished. Mephistopheles Amoi Statesmen. Whether Mephistopheles always lives, whether there are more than one Mepbislo- pheles, or whether Fanst’s fast friend has or had any blood relationship with Dante’s Devil or Mil'on’s Satan, are questions which we have never heard or seen fairly and fully discussed. The questions are, no doubt, importaat, and to many minds interesting ; but we do not feel at present that we have either time or space to answer them. Snflico it, therefore, to say that Mephistopheles is a wonderfully kind, genial, sprightly, playful and natural creation, and that, if we are not privileged to look on the individual himself, we are not denied the honor of looking {rom time to time on charac- JAMES GORDON BENNETT, PROPRIETOR. 4AMES GORDON BENNETT, JR.’ MANAGER.

On the other side, however, we have two undoubted specimens. We do not say which is No. 1 and which is No.2; which isthe greater and which is the lesser; which in his day has done the greatest and which tho least mischief; but we may venture to say that the one may be described aa the heavy and the other as the light Mephistopheles. We refer to the hero of Ham and Diszy the Jew, the author of the coup d’état and the father of the British Reform bill of 1867. The Counter-Kevolution—The Approaching State Elections. The radical organs here and throughout the country are beginning to realize the dangerous situation of their party. Pleading for unanimi- ty against Andrew Johnson and his alleged revolutionary designs, they plead for the abandonment of all personal squabbles and all side issues, such as the Sunday lager beer question, the tariff question and the financial rpoo! coon market was quiet, with middling {.

All this would be very well if these recent elections had turned upon side issues.

In both cases patience, perse- verance, watchfulness, cunning, deceit have been necessary; and in neither have these qualities been wanting. The one, to give effect to bis purpose, landed on the coast of France with a tome eagle in the one hand and a golden eagle in the other. The attempt was unsuccessful; but even in Ham the purpose lived. Tho other made his maiden speech in the House of Commons amid derisive cheers; rs preseut for their mutual protection, to guarantee ont of whiskey taxes to the government and the Revenue Department in the detection of and schemes of the present Congress, we shall not be surprised if, in the coming October elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio and in the New York November election, the resulis will be such as to open the way for a new and auccessful movement against the radicals in 1868. It will not meet tho case to say that the State elections of the present year, from Con- necticut to Maryland, have gone by default. The republican who stays at home on election day this year, from indifference or disgust, will most likely be among the voters on the other side next year. (eneral apathy in a political party marks that turn in the tide which, in most cases, swells into @ general reaction. There has been something of this general apathy among the republicans in California and Maryland, and we have had something of this general reaction in Maine in an increased democratic vote against a decreased republi- can vote. We look for larger reactionary manifesta- tions in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York. Among the noisy radicals Johnson’s impeach- ment is the hue and cry. He mast be impeached and removed, we are told, or in one of hia fits and starts of wrath and vengeance he will turn the present Congress out of doors at the point of the bayonet and order # new election, including the rebel States, on the Jobnson platform. We are not alarmed, nor are the intelligent people of the Northern States, by any such silly threatenings on either side. Woe have seon enough to eatisfy us thes Mr. Johnson knows how far he may ventare towards the lion’s mouth and when it is absolutely necessary to stop; and we have seen enough to “be convinced that in reality the radicals have no idea of killing the goose which lays their golden eggs. In all bis attempts to set aside and supersede the doings of the radicals of Congress Mr. Johnson has gone just far enough to serve their purpose, and in all their movements for his impeachment they have gone just far enongh to encourage him to other experiments of resistance for their benefit.

Na poleon has had for fifteen years the reputation of being one of the greatest monarchs of his age. Disraeli, if not a monarch, is at least the most illustrious subject of the greatest mon- archy in existence. How much France will ultimately owe to Napoleon, and how much England will ultimately owe to Disraeli, and what will be the effect of their example on the world at large, are questions which it will be safe to leave to time to solve. Meanwhile, the suecess of these men is a fitting theme for the philosopher and likely to command the atten- tion of future aspirants to political fame. Of both of them it must be admitied that tenacity of purpose has been more conspicuous in their career than bightoned Consistency and lofty moral purpose. Still, there is a lesson in their lives for those who can rend it. Why Should the President be Impeached? There is a general noise on the impeachment MISCELLANEOUS.

Panama is won to our commerce. We yes- terday published the entire contract lately concluded between the Panama Railroad Com- pany and the Colombian government. The extension of the franohiso is for ninoty-nine years. The price pald may appear largo to those who do not grasp the extraordinary value of this great transit, whiob, in our hands, makes the world pay tribute. The battle for the possession of this route has not been merely a contest between rival pri- vate interoste, The bidders have been nations on one side, against s powerful railway com- pany on tho other. Diplomacy has played ite part; France and England have thrown all their secret influence into the struggle. They have used their gold to turn the tide in favor of ‘their own commercial interests. Govern- ments have deen upset, revolutions at- -tempied, battles fought, bayonet and ‘bullet freely used. In the face of all this, however, American -en‘erprise has conquered; and to- day, through the offorts of a pr.vate company, we control the key point of the world’s com- merce. Our shortsighted and sluggish govern- ment can claim no share in the success. In all battles for commercial development and the conirol of the trade currents of the world we are obliged to fight our State department quite ag muca as we are the rival commercial inter- ests of Europe, The full value of the new contract can only be appreciated by readinz a portion of Arncia 2. The government of the repubiic binds itaelf, during the poriod that this exclusive privilege granted to the company for the working of the raitroad remains in force, not W construct itself, or concede to any person or company, in any way whatever, the right of construcing any otner raliroad on the Isthmus of ama; and tt is aiso atipulated that while tho aforesaid privilege eris's, the government cannot undertake, nor permit any person whatever to undertake, without the perm ssion or Cou. sent of said company, the construction or working of any ocean canal that may put in commuaication the two oovans across the lathmus of Panama, to the westward of a Ino from Cape Tiburon on the Atlantic and Point Garashino on the Pacific, It is thus observed that American capital has enlire control of the Isthmus and the vast trade that, in a constantly increasing stream, is flowing over it—flowing to and from the west coast of South America, our Pac.fic coast, the East Indies, Australia, and the other islands botween us and Asia. Besides Panama, the main commercial key, there are o'her valuable interoceanic routes soon to be brought into more prominent notice. Some of them have already made considerable commotion in financial and even in diplomatic circles. Among th so the Nicaragua transit isin fair-way to be built,and thore is now no dispute over the franchise. Not so, how- he is fit neither for heaven, nor earth, nor hol.” Scurrilous abuse of political opponents and blasphemous appeals to Heaven are to be found in abundance in the s2me speech. When, however, it is borns in mind that we are deal- ing only with one speech, it will be admitted that our quotations are sufficiently numerous. We make an appeal to the American public. We ask them if they consider the dignity of the republic reflected in such language as that we have quoted. We ask the honorable and edu- cated men of the United States if they are willing that it shall go forth to the world that the men who use such language are the repre- sentative men of the Union?

This declaration, just at thia moment, looks aa it the old company was at work again, and as if its agent, Mr, Otterbourg, whom it aasisted in forcing into an official position, has made good use of his time. We shall not be surprised to see a new Tehuan- tepec charter issued by the Mexican govern- ment at any moment; perhaps a revamping of the old one. The old ono can scarcely be restored entire, since its holders have forfeited it by having it extended under the Maximilian government instead of tho republic. Meanwhile, Tehuantepec appears to be in the market—a prize for which the last holders, as well as former claimants, are dis- posed to do batile. So long as American capi- tal wins it we are content to let Mr Seward write about it, Marshall O. Roberts wished for it, and sot Otterbourg to fish for it. Tho last company claims it, andeverybody fights for it. In the commercial control of the United States and Mexico it must remain. In common with the other routes, it is part—the larger part—of our Monroe doctrine. Again, there is another interoceanic route— the Vera Craz and City of Mexico Railway.

Like the Indians of the Plains, for their hunt- ing grounds, the Mormons, for their favorite n- stitution of polygamy, seem resolved to fight it out against the Gentiles. In the Tabernacle ut Great Sait Lake, the other day, Brother Sloane, of the Deseret News, flourished his tomabawk as a warrior of Brigham, and declared that “he had violated and would continue to violate the laws of Congress prohibiting polygamy.” He denounced the government as “tyrannical and unjust,” and as having “no right to make laws for the saints.” He is a full believer in the largest exercise of squatter sovereignty. He, moreover, urged upon the saints the practice of polygamy as necessary to uphold their com- munity and to secure their individual salvation. Elder Kimball (the right bower of the Mormon Prophet, High Priest and Dictator,) next came forward and endorsed Brother Sloane as sound. He (Kimball) had seventy children already, Disiri William Coit, delogates; W. P. Libby, W. and James Berrey, alternates. Pourth District—Joveph H. Van Brant, d B.

This may be considered as involving a pro- nunciamiento from Brigham himself against Congress and the’ Gentiles, What, then, will Congress do? The republican party, in its first general convention, in 1854, gt Pittsburg (if we are not mistaken), pledged itself to the abolition “of those twin relics of barbarism, unerring finger of fate points to us, as we stand between Europe and Asia, as the fature great financial as well as geographical centre of the world.

The duty, then, devolves upon Congress, net only to provide for the peaceable abolition or re- moval of this scandalous Mormon iastitation, but for some show of common justice and hua- manity to the Mormons themselves in the settle~ ment of the difficulty. That they will again be burned out, hunted down and driven away by The Prussian Circolar. Count Bismarck bas issued a circular in response to that of the Marquis Moustier, The Marquis had said that the Salzburg Conference was in reality a pledge of peace to Europe. Couat Bismarck is not unwilling to accept it in that light. It is manifest that, in spite of this additional peace manifesto, Europe is by no means reassured. Pertaps tho most nataral light in which the conduct of France and Prussia can be viewed is that of two pugilists, who have actually entered the ring and who are shaking hands and vowing friendship before proceeding to blows, We may soon see a sharp and vigorous fight and the shaking ot hands again at the close.
