Reconstruct your Cabinet throughout, Mr. President, as a move- ment against Southern negro supremacy and a Northern moneyed oligarchy, and in favor of a progressive and expansive foreign policy, and lay your case frankly and clearly before the people, and you will at once confuse the enemy and give cohesion, unity, direction and efficiency to this rising reaction against these radical abuses and excesses which threaten us with a permanent despotism, North and South. The country will survive, for the people are waking up. But Mr. Johnson must act, and act at once, or his late half-way experiments will only hasten his downfall. of the North Pole is of considerable interest. Captain Hall, who is possessed of an energy and devotion of purpose rarely found among men, has now completed all his preparations tor the search for Sir John Franklin’s remains. To him is due the praise of having been the first to demonstrate the practicability of sledge journeys to take the place of dangerous and uncertain p2vigetion in ships.

Parting from this point he will probably jour- ney to the north and westward in the direction of Victoria Land. The contributions which he may make to science are varied and valuable. Among them the geography of that ice covered region is as yet but imperfectly known, so im- perfectly, indeed, that it is uncertain if com- merce can at any particular season of the year make use of the numerous bays and inlets which abound throughout the space in British grees north latitude.

The great valley of the | such a distinguished navigator and geographer sand men which are not to be thoughtlessly given up. Where, then, is the remedy? Mod- ern history furnishes no example of a Gespot- ism over @ conquered people more radically revolutionary than this established over our rebel States; and from the very nature of things it is full of dangers to the States as yet: un- touched and to our whole political system. How, then, is this thing to be reached and re- moved? We can reach {t in a warning voice from the people in these coming Northern cleotions, if only loud enough to be heard and felt in Con- gress. That the drift of public opinion is against these disorganizing radical achemes we are assured in the results of the late California, Maine and Maryland elections, Give us re- sponses from Ohio, Pennsylyanis and New York indicating a wholesome and hopeful pro- gress in this popular reaction, and then we may expecta decisive reaction in Congress, meantime, or a new political revolution in 1868. We expeot great things from the great Central States this fall, and to this ond President John- son, even within the short interval to the elec- tions in Pennsylvania and Obio, if he will only exercise his power, may make a telling and effective diversion. net : We have had from time to time, since Stanton’s removal, intimations of a purpose on the part of the President to follow up this move with a complete reorganization of his Cabinet. Why not, and why delay? Has he anything to lose? Has ho not everything to gain by this step? Let him puta vigorous and progressive statesman in the place of Mr. Seward; an active reformer, of broad and sound financial ideas, in the place of McCulloch, the broker; a popular man, who would give strength to the administration in the Senate, for the Post Office or Interior Department, and ® popular and competent man in the place of Grandfather Welles; and let Mr. Johnson, in an appeal to the country, make known his reasons for these changes on the great issues involved, domestic and foreign, and we are confident he will make the dry bones of radicalism rattle again, from the Ohio to the Hudson, in these impending State elections. “In for a penny, in for a pound.” In the removal of Stanton, Sheridan and Sickles nothing has been done, except the making of martyrs of these men for the benefit of the radicals and the special South. ‘The workings of no; Suffrage in the South- ern States are ex: ie purious, and ff the parties who have mado the ,“igbt of the negro to vote a part of the law of th.’ land had not self-interest at the bottom of it tLvy would be heartily sshamed of the ridiqulows results which have accrued. The latest OP! which the negroes had to cast a vote was on the convention in Louisiana, where th ey ©xer- cused the franchise for the first time dm. ing the past two days, The negroes do not appt to bave come up to the polls, and fears wore ©2- tertained by the radical leaders that a sufficis at vote would not be cast to make the call for # convention legal. The fact is that the poor negroes cannot be made to understand the purpose of their newly acquired privilege. Their radical masters are put to their wits’ end to get it into the woolly heads of thelr colored allies that the franchise is a right to be exercised and nota material thing to be sold. Many of the negroes in some of the late South- ern elections brought baskets to the polls to carry home the “elective franchise” which their instructors told them they were entitled to, Some of them brought bags which they thought were capacious enough to hold the precious franchise, Hundreds of them, who found that the inestimable elective franchise had no substantial or marketable form, absolutely refused either to register or to vote without being paid for it They were cunning enough to know that they were entitled to claim pay for the labor which “massa” asked them to perform, and they were not going to register or to cast a vote without an equivalent in cash. The registry process was a stumbling block in the radical path. Aman must have a name to register, and few of these poor fellows had a patro- nymic. Jim,and Tom, and Sambo, and Cuf- fee, and Pompey, and Cwsar were there by the thousand—entirely too numerons to mention; but a distinctive namo not one in a thousand could boast of; so Smiths, Browns, Joneses and Robinsons were supplied ad libitum to get over the difficulty. This was an easy matter; but when a rollicking nigger came along to the polls with his basket slung on his arm to take home his “elective franchise” to Dinah, here wasa fix! And just this fix occurred in Louisiana. “No money, no vote,” said Sambo. « Where is the elective franchise you promised us?” said Pompey, flourishing his basket, “Me no vote till I get that.” Not leas ridiculous is the condition of things all over the South. The negroes in the mass have no more idea of the privilege bestowed upon them than so many cattle; yet radical madness has made them masters in the South. A few intelligent colored men in the principal cities of the South are paraded by radical poli- ticians as examples of negro intelligence, but we see by present as by ‘past experience that they are not types of the race to whom the government of ten States of the Union has been handed over. At an election in Charleston not long since the Post Office boxes were found to be filled with ballots deposited by the negroes who had been supplied with them by radical agents, but knew not how to dispose of them better than by dropping them into the Post Office. To such a measure of intelligence it is that the affairs of the South are entrusted, and this the people are asked to endorso as one of the most efficient modes of reconstruction according to the radical plan. We are disposed to think that the intelligent American people do not geo it in that light. Our Arctic Explorations. Our special correspondence from the vicinity Our Amusemente—The Opening of the ‘Twenty-third Street Grand Opera. New Yorkers are.at length ready to have the pleasure of secing at home an Opera House entitled to the name, and are to be indulged with performances of Grand Opera done in a style worthy that magnificent entertainment. As this will be a treat altogether fresh, we may predict that the opening of the new Grand Opera, to take place in November or December, will be, in fashionable circles, the great event of the season. It is true that we have had in this city plenty of theatres, and plenty of opera houses, and plenty of dramas and operas, and all that; but their glories were like circles in the water, and the water wasa very poor little puddle, They are passing away, like the old wooden pumps of fifty years since, or like honest aldermen, or packet ships, or mail coaches, or religious newspapers, or pious parsons—one lingering here and there to stir the wonder of the boys or move the mumbling reminiscences of garrulous. centenarians. For forty years we have had theatres peculiarly our own—dingy, mean coops, like cockpits, into which men and women were crowded by mercenary managers dill they experienced as many miseries as Dante saw all his old ac- quaintance undergoing in the vats of hell on that memorable occasion when he met Maro, and they went round together and made a night of it, Dante being green and Maro mellow. Our theatres seem to have been con- structed principally with a view to retaining the foul air to poison the people, or to tortur- ing them out of the form of humanity with uncomfortable benches, or to preventing their escape in case of fire. We have also had the drama and opera’ managed on strikingly original and, indeed,; indescribable principles. Lately there has been an attempt to establish the lyric drama by prime donne selected fcr their weight. We have had, in fact, an avoirdupois opera, and the only scale in vogue has been that honest old article that required sixteen ounces to the Three hundred pounds has been a light weight. Imagine the dainty Rosina pre- senting herself to the public in the form of Falstaff, and imagine the happy barber calling her a “ragazza spiritoss.” But this sort of idea will pass away in the whirl of the winter’s splendors, and may be knocked down, if not dragged out, at the Devil’s Auc- tion, though the Devil’s Auction, from appear- ance, has daintier ware to tempt the public fancy. Ristori will keep on with us, and will to-morrow night try the fiery Italian muse of Alfieri in {ts interpretation of one of the grand themes of Hellenic thought—Ristori and Alfieri. ‘There is progreas-in this toward loftier ideality than the stage has been used to since it coased to be the fane of a temple. Then we have our exquisite Grand Duchess of Gerolstein to lighten all this into the laugh of infinite nonsense, in the happy, rattling way that only the very genius of absolute fun can venture. With so many real attractions present, and the Grand Opera in the near future, we shall make out the soason very well, Agrand opera that may Repulse Bay, near which Captain Hall bas America bounded on the south by sixty de- Mackenzie river and the great Slave lake dis- trict on the east slope of the Rocky Mountains, and all the territory on the west slope north of fifty-five degrees. north latitude, are controlled by our new Russian coast ine. It would be wise on the part of our government to employ as Dr. Hall to explore all this region, including Russian America. Our special correspondent would from time to time report progress and give the earliest accounts of the results of the expedition. Bogus News from Constantinople. Some few weeks ago our contemporary, the Tribune, published an alarming special tele- gram from Constantinople. Russia, in an ulti- matum, had demanded the consent of the Sul- tan to the annexation of Crete to Greece. Con- sidering the power and pretensions of Russia, and the present excited condition of Europe, the word “ultimatum” was sufficiently star- tling to all who did not know better. We have waited with patience for the reply of the Sul- tam. But hours, days, weeks have passed, and the Tribune has not published it. At last, however, when everybody had forgotten the “ultimatum,” we were informed that General has returned to Constantinople, that the Osar declines to seo the Sultan, and that neither party recedes from the position. Very alarming, indeed. What is the inference? We do not say that these telegrams have been concocted in the Tribune office—along the wires they may have come ; but we do say that more absurd messages never found their way into print For the sake ofthe Tribune we hope that they have been paid for, and by the kind and intelligent correspondent on the other side. It is bad enough to be hoaxed ; it is worse to have to pay for it. That the public may judge of the value of the messages we print another telegram which appeared in yes- terday’s Tribune from the same source. We make no remark on it, It speaks for itself:— REPURLICAN MOVEMENT IN GRERCE. Accounts from Athous estate that » large party in Greece favors deposing the King and prociaiming & re- protectorate public ander the of the United States. or fnnox it as three States inflated currency that is doing the mischief. If it were not for the abundance of money the revenues of the government would be insuffi- cient and the Treasury bankrupt. It is not few copperhead politicians that are hurrying us on to repudiation ; but it is the radical party in power thatis bringing us to a state of things where the people will not be able to bear the burdens pat upon them. If we would escape the disgrace of repudiation we must reform our financial system and its management, Mr. McCulloch must be removed and an able atateeman put in his place, and the people must choose more capable and honest repre- sentatives to Congress. This, and this only, may save the country from the evils which the radical press hypocritically pretend to fear. The York, which takes place on the first Tuesday in December, will be a very mixed and com- "plicated affair. While in the general election for State officers in November the vote of the city will be cast with unprecedented unanimity against the party of negro supremacy and Puri- tanical legislation, in the local charter election it will be divided up among three elements which will enter into the contest independent of the ordinary political divisions. One of these three elements will be composed of the débris of Tammany, with Hoffman as their candidate ; another will comprise that portion of Tammany engaged in an attempt to re- organize the inside rings under new leaders, together with the most important portion of have the name of Fernando Wood at the head NEW YORK.

Developments of Neare Suffrage in the | present ca such artists as Lagrange and Brig- | Ue with the candidate opposed to tho noli—that wii have no subsoribers and no ex- Clusiveness—that will be conducted on real American principles, without fear or favor—is something to look forward to hopefully even from the midst of the delights we have in full posseasion, The Question of Repadiation Among the Politicians. Tt appears that some of thé copperhead Politicians of the Wost have béen talking rather freely about repudiation. Some pf the radicals, and especially the radical press of this city, have seized with avidity this incl dent to parade their pretended honesty and patriotism, and for the purpose of damaging @he democrats in public estimation. Now, wile we have no doubt that some few of the secession sympathizers of the copperhead persuasion would like to see the national debt repudiated, the conservative portion of what was the old democratic pariy entertains no such purposs or wish. Nor. bas the mass of the people of any party such # thought. If the question of repudiation jshould ever be raised seriously, it will not be because the American people favor in the least such a course ; but it would come only through the reckless and extravagant maladministration of the parly in power, making the burdens of the people too heavy to be borne. The radical editors and politiofans who open their eyes with affected indignation at the idea of repudiation care nothing about it except for party purposes. Their declama- tions are sheer hypocrisy. They, of all others, are bringing us to the very state of things they pretend to deprecate. legislation and Mr. Chase, the chief leader and head of the radical party, the man whom that party swear by and desire to make President, was the author of a system of finance which would have ruined any other country. He, in two or three yéars, created a stupendous debt equal to that which took ages to accumulate in the most heavily burdened countries of Europe. It has been shown since, from the enormous revenues raised, that by a proper system of finance almost all the ourrent demands of the government for carrying on the war could have been met without creating adebt. Had we raised five or six hundred millions a year, as we have raised since, there would have been a small debt remaining. But incapable and reckless as the administra- tion of our finances were under this radical Secretary of the Treasury, our radical Congress has, if possible, shown greater incapacity and recklessness. The creation and perpetuation of the national bank system, by which the people are defrauded of more than twenty millions a year, all of which should go toward paying the debt; the fearfully extravagant legislation for bounties and numberless jobs, during the last two or three sessions of Con- gress, and the frightful frauds in the revenug committed by radical officeholders forced upon the government, are the causes that may lead to repudiation. Mr. McCulloch, whose igno- rance of great national finance is costing the country at least a hundred millions a year, is the creature of Mr: Chase and his party. Hoe has no system of his own, is incapable of making one, and is enly carrying out their crade and ruinous system. the course of No, it is not what the radical press calls an Next Contest for * York. The next election for the Mayoralty of New Mayor of New the outside democratic organization, who will of their ticket. The third element will consist ofall those democrats who desire to cleanse and purify Tammany by overthrowing all the old leaders and rings, and of the citizens gen- erally who stand aloof from politics, and only wish to secure an honest and independent city government by the election of good men to office. This latter party will put John Ander- son or some such man in the field as their atandard bearer. The fight will, therefore, be a triangular one,and will be fought out on local issues, without any reference to general politi- cal divisions, With regard to Fernando Wood, it is very doubtful whether he is to be considered a real candidate for the Mayoralty. He has probably made a show of going into the contest for the purpose of effecting other purposes than an election to that office. He has certain valuable leases yet unsigned by the Compiroller, in- volving an amount of some two or three hun- dred thousand dollars, and he desires to have them signed and delivered. Then he has been accustomed to receive a species of black- mail or percentage out of some of the city offices, and he is not willing that the remunerative positions of Sheriff and County Clerk shall be given away without allowing him a finger in the dainty dish, To accomplish the ends he has in view it may be useful to him to place himself in the field in order to enable him the better to drive his several bar- gains, and in that case it will be immaterial to him who may succeed. His object will bo to make the best terms he can with either party, and the probability is that, from the necessities of the case, he will Gud that his real interests ring of Tammany, > There is one consolation im {his yeneral scramble and hubbub for those whe look | quietly on as mere spectators, withow any other interest than arises from a desire ti seo the city government placed in honest hadg! and that is, that whatever the result may an army of political edventurers, place huntes and manicipal paupers will be knocked & pieces.

This might te @ very good reason for expluding the correspond> ent of that paper, and there may be other igaorant or corrupt Bohemians in Washingtog who are not Gt to enter any decent place; but that is no cause for excluding the respectable representatives of the press or of the press generally. In fact it is a piece of presymption and impudence in Mr, McCulloch to forbid these gentlemen entering the department. The Treasury be- longs to the people and not to Mr. McCulloohg yet he acts as ifhe were lord and propricter of it, He is only the servant of the peopld They have a right to know through the what is going on in the department. The rep- resentatives of the press have a right to entee the department to obtain information for the purpose of spreading it before the publie. If any individual correspondent behaves badly) as in‘the alleged case of the Boston man, let him be excluded, but not the rest, Mr. McCulloch has grown too big for hie breeches. All such small men, when elevated oa high position they are unfit for and never dreamed of obtaining, play fantastic tricks an@ become presumptuous, Is there not some other! reason than that given for keeping the affairs of the Treasury secret? They have been so grossly mismanaged that the Secretary may well fear the light. The department has become really a monstrous gambling institue tion, as demoralizing every way as John Mam rissey'’s faro banks or Ben Wood’s lotteries. The two hundred millions constantly held ig: the Treasury is used to bull or bear the mare kot for the benefit of @ certain set. Is it this’ with all the other irregularities and frauds, makes the Secretary so afraid of the press Having such an incompetent man at the of the department, it is the more that the people should know what is going It is impudent presumption Ie es aac, tad servant of the public, to say the representar tives of the press shall not enter the Treasury It for nothing else, though there are plenty other reasons, the President should remo Mr, McCulloch at once. He has always beeal totally inefficient and an encumbrance, aad now he assumes to be an autocrat, EN “ 4 On this ticket Congresaman Hulburd is to run, it appears, as candidate for the office ef Comptroller of the State of New York, A St Lawrence county politician, Mr. Hulburd hag mainly acquired his legislative experience the House of Assembly. In Congress, he is now serving his second term, he chiefly distinguished himself by getting up thé Smelling Committee, of which he was chain man, and by the aid of which he undertook, a few months ago, to run the New York Custom House, The labors of this Smelling Committee, which strove to make mountains of mole hills, and which held its solemn investigation at the Astor House during the palmiest days of the Black Crook, resulted in no more startling charge against Mr. Collector Smythe than thag he was suspected of having presented to q member of President Johnson’s family somé forty cents’ worth of candy. If the “nigger’™ proves no better investment for Congressmam: Hulburd than the forty cents’ worth of candy with which he hoped to revolutionise the Custom House, his chances of running success: fully for the office of State Comptroller will be slim indeed.
