The Atlantic cable news despatches of yesterday's date had net reached us when the Henauo went to press this moroing. After midnight we were informed that the Newfoundland telegraph wires had been down all day yesterday, and that communication with Heart's Content could not be restored for many hours, By the steamship City of Antwerp, at this port yester- day, we have special telegraphic and newspaper mail de- tails of our cable despatches to the 19th of September, including « fuli report.of the speech of the King of Bolland to the Parliament at the opening of the session in the Hague, an account of the Fenian rescue riot in Mancester and the shooting of three officers by the insur- gents, a special review of the state of trade in England, ‘and the condition of the breadstu™, gold and cotton markets, with other interesting matter, THE CITY. General Sheridan was received by the Union League Club last night at their club rooms in Union square. ‘The butiding was completely crowded and the address of welcome was made by Mr. John Jay, the Prosident of the Cieb, At eleven P.M. the General reviewed the Procession of veteran soldiers and sailors and addressed them from balcony of the club house, A reception will be given him by the authorities of Brooklyn to-day, and he will bo re- colved at the City Hall by the Mayor. On Thursday next he will receive the ladies of New York at the rooms of the Union League Club, and the same evening wil! leave for Newport on board a revenue cutter. The Board of Aldermen had no meeting yesterday for ‘want of a quorum. ‘The Boatd of Councilmen met yesterday and adopted a Fesolution, by a vote of eleven to eight, tendering the hospitalities of the city to General Sheridan, and offering the use of the Governor's Room to receive citizens. Phe Corporation Counsel was requested to inform the Board what steps he has taken to prohibit the laying of rails in West street and on the Battery. The Brooklyn City Council yesterday refused to tender the hospitalities of the city to General Sheridan. The Board of Audit did not meet yesterday for the ‘want of a quorom. The calendar to come on to-day is 186, 198, 104; 184, 190, 186, 150, 165, 199, 200, ‘On the Fashion Course yesterday Lady Thorn trotted against Mountain Boy, Lucy aod Brano, winning the race iD three closely contested heats, her best time being 2:24, which, considering that the wind was blowing almost a hurricane and the dost was fying about tn clouds, is considered good time. ‘The case of ex-Collector Cailicott and others came up ‘Defore Commi moser Newton in Brooklyn yesterday, when all the parties accused waived an examination and were held in the bail already given to await the action of the Grand Jary.

The radical party in Richmond is threatened with another split, The white man’s wing denounces the secret action of the Union Leagues, and Hunnicutt and his adherents denounce the white men, Ward meetings were hold last night in the interest of the white men’s party, but they were packed in some instances by Hun- nicutt’s followers and did not work harmoulously. The election for a convention in Alabama takes place to-day, and similar electioos take place in Mississippt and Florida on Monday next. General Grant's father, in his recent speech to a demo- cratic meeting in Cincinnati, advised his hearers, if they were crats, to vote for Smith, who happened to be the ea ato of the other party. jrant recently refused to issue artillery to the a, and Governor Swann has consequently ries of twolye-pounders for the three Baltimore, dent stated to @ friend yesterday that he would resist any effort of Congress to remove him during bis wrial on articles of impeachment, The vote in the Louisiana election has not yet been received in full, In New Orleans and a few of the parishes adjoining, the vote fell far short of the required majority; but slight returns from the interior parishes indicate a heavy polling of the colored votes in favor of the Gonvention, Since the election the municipal imbroglio in Nashville Appears to have become even more complicated than ever. Application for an injunction to restrain the now officers from being inducted into office nas been made by the authorities now in possession, and it is believed that the old officers will dnd themselves bayonetted out if they do not vacate soon of their own accord, Advices from Alaska and our Russian possessions state that the inhabitants express great gratification at finding themselves annexed to the United sates. Busi- ness is rapidly extending In New Archangel, and although leather money still predominates coin is being gradually introduced. A northeast gale sprang up Sunday night and lasted with unabated fary all day yesterday. Considerable damage was done to yachts and small boats on the Hud- son, aud the wreck of the Dean Richmond was knocked about so much that it was feared she would fall to pieces before morning. Her cargo was floating from her, and the shore at Port Ewen was strewed with butter and cheese, Three inches of snow fell in Nelson, New Hampshire. The rebel General Beauregard visited tho city of Rich- mond, Va, for the first time in his life on the 26th ult, ifa rapid passage from one depot to another just pre- vious to the Bull Run fight is excepted. He visited the theatre during the evening, but, although everyone ap- peared anxious to see him, his personal acquaintance with the citizons was so limited that no demonstration was made, Hoe denies that he was hissed in the New York Gold Exchange. Our Southern letters relate to matters in Virginia, North Caroliog and Florida. Judge Rice, of Montgomery, Alabama, one of the dis- franchised, has recently taken the oath prescribed in the Amnesty proclamation, and intends to contest in the courts his right to vote if he ts refused that permission atthe polls, He holds that the amnesty is superior to Congress, and if the election judges refuse to allow him to vote, whether he has registered or not, they can be sued for damages. Itis still considered certain that Jeff Davis will be tried at the November term of the Richmond Court, with Chief Justice Chase on the bench. The friends of Davis, in case he fails to appear, will ask a continuance im order to avoid bringing the case before Judge Under- ig Don Luis Molina, the representative of Nicara- gua and sevoral other Central American governments at Washington, presented his letter of recall to the President yesterday, and formally took bis leave of his omMeral duties, The funeral of Sterling Price, ex-Governor of Mis- souri and lately a general in the rebel army, took place at St. Louis yesterday, and was the largest ever seen in that city. Bradley, a colored Boston lawyer of some notoriety in Georgia, addressed a congregation of country darkies in Savannah yesterday, when a disturbance took place and the military and police were compelled to interfere. The negroes nearly all carried rifles or musketa, Nu- merous arrests were made, and during the night the military were kept under arms. The cashier of the First National Bank of New Mil- ford, Conn., is alleged to have abseonded with $40,000 of the funds of the bank. A negro has been appointed upon the Capitol police force at Washington, The Issue Before the Country. Two years have passed since we closed the war of the rebellion. The people have waited with patience for the country to be restored to something of its former glory. They have anxiously watched every political movement until hope has grown faint under the hands of the wreckers, Jobnson and Congress. Have they given us peace, restored confidence in public enterprise, thrown vigor into our com- mercial development, made us respected abroad? Not one of all these; but, as if to make the picture still darker, they have given us the reverse of what the nation has had a right to expect. When the first gun against Fort Sumter threatened the disintegration of our territory, we as a people sprang to arms, and, high above all petty and partisan feeling, pro- claimed the preservation of our nationality to be the gage of battle. Four terrible years and victory welded the States together. The cause was won. We emerged from the contest still vigorous. The mountain of debt wo had assumed—the price in treasure pald for terri- torial unity—we thought lightly of. We had not been fighting for the negro. The negro was a side issue, and came in like many other secondary elements whose fortunes hung on the results of the war. The men in power have, however, in their political madness, com- pletely lost sight of the primary object in pursuit of an inferior one. Their minds have been unable to grasp the great problem; and it is in the negro alone that they find national consolidation, national greatness, national de- velopment, and something which, of a kindred nature, suits their calibre. Is the nation to centre all its future hopes upon the ability of the black man to govern it? Are we expected, in the light of the intelligence of this century, to believe that any body of men, be they the Congress of the United States or @ body of mythological gods, can, bya simple legislative fiat, lif the negro from bar- barism to the summit of civilization? And yet this is what the radical party is trying to make us believe. Not only this, but in the face of every acknowledged truth they would per- suade us that we have had the madness to fight for such an idea. A revolution must be judged by its results, An equation is solved when we all agree that the result is correct. Now if we, as the people of the United Staces, permit the fanatical factioniste of North or South to bury the great golden principle of our battle under the secondary idea of negro ele- vation, then we sadly reduce ourselves in our own estimation, and admit that this was the maximum bonum of all our bopes—that this virtually is the solution of the revolutionary equation. But how many of the people of the United States are willing to admit that this is the solution—that this is all that they fought ir? The people, are beginning to think of these things; and we tell Andrew Jobneon and our Congress that they musi not be blind to the fact that for the people to think in the United States is for them to act. To act now os they think is to mike a clean eweop of officials, mt iown to t lo that sucks at the national hfe. disgusted—is fairly recling under the blows given to it by these political wreckers who have raised the black flag against our progress. The people now cry, “Down with them!” And down they must go—down to the level of the intelligence of that element which they would use to prop up their falling fortunes. Let the President and Congress leave the work which their brains cannot comprehend. From first to last their policy, on both sidea, has been ruin. Not alone the loyal North, but every true lover of his country, has looked on from day to day, for thv past two years, only to see the seeds of new revolution planted and fostered. We have seen the President reduced so low that even in a graveyard, with five thousand dead heroes lying around him, he has descended to party spleen in speech and act. We have seen conduct on the part of tho radical leaders no less disgusting. The nation now, drugged to surfeit with such things, demands a change. Change must come, for in it lies na- tional preservation. We fought four years against one party that we might preserve our national unity, We won the battle. The party in power now make it essential that by the ballot we shall again do battle for national safety. Every act of Congress indicates the necessity of this ; for within our Congressional halls are enacted laws that would disgrace the legislation of the Common Council of New York. The people and their generals put down the rebellion and then turned the political elements into the hands of the politicians. These have gone on from bad to worse with their work until there is no longer any hope for the country, unless the people assume the power that belongs to them and again come to the rescue. This must be done. In all future elections let the strong, clear heads of the country be placed in responsibitity. Let the demagogues sink to that level from which they arose to curse us with what they call legisla- tion. Their last hope now is a lease of power through negro supremacy. Are the people willing to grant this, and force to the surface a new revolution? Let every man understand that herein lies just as much of the future wel- faro of the United States as ever hung upon the bayonets of our armies during the rebellion. The new war is to save intelligence from the flood of ignorance that the radicals have loosened to the attack. These are the true issues before the people, and the ones which must soon be decided. Andrew Johnson’s Organ. Who, what and where is Andrew Johnson’s organ? It has been supposed in some quarters that Andrew blev his own trumpet so vigor- ously that he had no need of an organ, and consequently left himself without one. Others have thought that an odd machine in Wash- ington was his organ—a notable instrument, giving out queer sounds, ranging from the squeal and hum of the hurdy-gurdy to the monotonous monotone -of the penny whistle, but cracked all over and sadly in need of repair that should replace all the important parts, frame, barrel and bellows. But it appears that that organ is not considered adequate to the occasion by the men who manage the solar system. Greeley, who, in the absence or retirement of Weed, has been keeping things together and apart, and preventing the wolves from eating up the moon on the cool nights, and who, with Jeff Davis on one hand and the high flavored nigger on the other, has disported himself as the very Apollo of political drivers— this illustrious person has perceived, with the sagacity of a man who does corporation adver- tising, that Andrew Johnson is in need ofa new organ, and to our astonishment has named the Hzratp for the place. Well, we will take it, supposing, ot course, that the nomination will be confirmed by the kitchen cabinet, if there is a kitchen cabinet, and that the Jupiter Tonans whose red-hot thunder we are to handle and launch will agree to our terms. Our terms are—illimitable power to make salutary changes in the domestic establishment. Our first requirement will be that Seward be sent home—washed, shaved, in a clean shirt and shiny boots, with a new speech to be delivered to the rustic multitude in the vicinity of “fair Auburn, loveliest village of the plain.’ Next to this, Weed must be cleared out of the Custom House, the Revenue Department, the Naval Office, the Surveyor’s Office—out of all possible bays, inlets, creeks, nooks, crannies and corners into which the golden stream of the national treasure flows, and from which the national till may be tapped. Old Welles must get out of the Navy Depart- ment, of course, because the Navy Department is not one of the Pyramids of Cheops and is no place for mummies, and is a place for Porter or Farragut. We rather think, also, that we should relieve Grant from the durance vile in which he is held, putting Sherman in his place, supplied with a long pole, and having tied on at the end of that pole the pen with which he once wrote a letter to the Mayor of Atlanta, or some other obsolete and calcined city. He would stir up the political animals in lively style, having received trom partial Nature a very pretty gift of surly rhetoric. McCulloch should be cut loose from the Treasury Depart- ment, or the Treasury Department from Mc- Oulloch, whichever were most convenient, and started on an indefinite financial voyage of discovery, with a Chatham street watch for a compass, one of his own reports for a cork- screw and Munchausen’s Travels for a specie payment Bible. With McCulloch we would send the harem of nine hundred beautiful wo- men who charm away the idle hours in the Treasury building. We would thus deprive Washington of the great sight it has every day at three P.M., when all this beauty comes from its arduous labors to the open air—n sight supposed to surpass anything seen on the Golden Horn, and to be more tremendously splendid than the charge of the light brigade. These are our terms. It is evident that they are reasonable. On these terms only will we consent to become an organ. Shall we be in- stalled? We pause for a reply. More Rumere of Changes im the Cabinet. Reports from Washington ef Cabinet changes are again current, but they attract very little attention and fail to produce a serious thought, The fact is, Mr. Johnson’s inflnence for good or bad is lost, and the people do not care now whether he makes any changes or not. He may turn out the present members of his Cabi- net if he chooses, and appoint in their places Chevalier Wikoff, Horace Greeley? George Franols Train and Colorado Jowett, without orenting any more sensation in the community than do the Pre 1's everyday movements, These rumors are ali bos Reconstructing the South. Reconstruction! What a misapplied word! What an abuse of the term to call the process now going on in the South under the acts of Congress and the five military dictators recon- struction! It should be called destruction. That is the proper word. The so-called recon- struction acts of Congress are fast destroying that fairest portion of our country, and unless a thorough change be made in the policy of the government the South will be destroyed more completely than San Domingo or Jamaica was by similar radical legislation, But that is not all, fearful as such a state of things must be. The North, the loyal States, will also suffer. Our liberties will be endangered by maintaining a military government over s0 large a portion of the republic, and a military government will become a chronic necessity under the policy pursued by the radicals. We shall lose the valuable productions and trade of the South. The expenses of the government will be enormous and the public debt will be- come burdensome beyond endurance. Let us look at the present condition of the Southern States. The negroes in nearly all of them, if not in all, have the political power in their hands; and though they are too ignorant to use it (at least for any good), it will be used under the direction of white demagogues and political knaves for evil. The greater part of the intelligent white poople are excluded from the exercise of political privileges. But few of those to whom these privileges are allowed are capable of making laws. The highest legislative ability is required in framing or- ganic laws; yet we see the forming of new State constitutions committed to a mass of poor, ignorant negroes, who hardly know their right hand from their left, and to the lowest and least cultivated portion of the whites. Even the few intelligent whites who are per- mitted to vote take no part in political mat- tera, because they see they would be powerless to do any good. If, therefore, a sufficient num- ber of votes can be obtained under the pro- visions of the reconstruction acts of Congress to hold constituent conventions and to form State constitutions, these new governments will be made by the ignorance and not the intelli- gence of the South. It seems, however, look- ing at the vote in Louisiana, that the negroes have not sense enough to know what voting means or what they are voting for. With all the radical machinery put to work, with all the speeches of radical emissaries and with all the promises of confiscation and power, it is doubtful whether the mass of these poor creatures know yet where they stand or what to do. It would be strange indeed if these millions of benighted blacks, who were slaves & year or two ago, did know anything about using the elective franchise or making a gov- ernment. The radicals may say that the negroes not voting, as in Louisiana, arises from apathy; but it is evident that utter ignorance of what to do is its real cause. But suppose a sufficient number of votes should be given—-that is, the majority of those registered, for holding conventions, the negroes would have the political power. Would Con- gress approve of State constitutions formed thus and admit the States to representation under these circumstances? Is Congress pre- pared to admit negro supremacy in the South, negro conventions, negro representatives to Washington, a negro balance of power in the republic, and, may be, negroes to hold the highest offices in the government? Yet such would be the consequences of reconstruct- ing the South under the present acts of Congress and the military dictators. We hardly think this radical Congress is radical enough for such a revolution. Certainly the people of the North are not prepared for it. Reckless as the present Congress is, it will hardly risk the everlasting infamy of turning the government of this great republic into a negro government. Should the Southern States be reconstructed by the benighted and de- graded negroes, as they would be under the present arrangement, Congress would find some excuse, probably, to still keep them out. Thus, in whatever point of view we look at the matter, it is clear we shall have to support ® military government over the South unless the radicals be driven from power by the voico of an indignant people. The alternative is, then, negro supremacy in the South with a negro balance of power in the republic, if the Southern States be reconstructed under the present radical plan, or continued exclusion from representation in Congress with as despotic military government over that entire section of our country. Who can contemplate the fearful consequences of such astate of things without alarm? We should be disgraced in the eyes of the whole world. Republican institutions would be despised. The South would become depopulated and ruined, as San Domingo was ruined. The white people would fly from it and the negroes become depraved, idle, and die out, The North would soon lose its liberties under the use and influence of military government over so large # portion of the republic. Our burdens would become unbearable and repudiation would follow. Such are somo of the evils we have every reason to fear from radical rule. Such will be tho inevitable results of the so-called reconstruction acts of Congress unless the people elect other and better men to harmonize and save the country. What Will They Dot What will Weed and Raymond do in regard to the ticket nominated by the radical conven- tion at Syracuse? The Convention not only refused admission to the conservative republi- can delegates, of whom Raymond was one, but treated with insolence s proposition to allow the New York conservatives an opportanity to be heard in support of their right to be con- sidered a part and parcel of the republican organisation. Raymond says that his name was used on the delegation without his know- ledge end suthority; but this was not known to the Convention when they kicked him and his associates out of doors and hissed dowa « reso- lation to inquire into the diffioultics existing in the city organization. To-day the conserva- tives stand outside the party, repudiated and repulsed by the republicans of the whole State, and only at liberty to vote the radical ticket ‘ae repentant sinners willing to occupy ® back seat for many years to come, Will they be willing to eat this humble pie? Will they support the nominees of the men who have treated them with all this contempt and indig- nily, or Will they show Greeley, Spencer, Abbe and their associates that they cannot run the radicalism? If they have any manhood or self-respect -remaining they will assuredly show their teeth. Another Bourbon and Bad Brandy Trip. One hundred and fifty editors are to leave Chicago some time in October and start on a bunt for the base of the Rocky Mountains. Plenty of sleeping cars—plenty of rations— plenty of whiskey, liquor and license illimit- able—photographers to take everybody’s por- tralt—no women present—no restraint of any kind on the exuberant flights of editorial tem- per. Such is the outline of another excursion of the same character as ihe one not long since made by distinguished Congressmen and others, who all got illustriously tipsy and made wild and foolish speeches which they hastened to deny when they got sober. Ben Wade’s speech on the iniquity, tyranny and general evil of people owning things will be remembered as a satisfactory specimen of the lot; and Ben also exhibited an exceptional speci- men of consistency in subsequently refusing to own his own speech. We suppose there will be just as many foolish things said and done on this excursion as on the former peri- patetic tipplings, and there may be the same escapes, For instance, the Indians nearly caught the other party, and they may nearly catch this one. They may quite. Ifthe spotted tail Turkey will be gobbler enough to take this editorial party he will do the greatest thing ever done by an Indian; for with so much “influence” in his possession—such power over the press as he would thus have— it is quite probable that he might secure peace on his own terms. All these drunken excursions are gotten up by that intractable cold water man, George Francis Train, who keeps the railroad men ina ferment and gets up rows here as he did in England. He had to be driven out of England on account of his genius; for the John Bulls were afraid that he would steal the British con- stitution and bring it over here cut up in strips to petch up the bad places in the constitution of the United States. Train is a phenomenon of knowledge and meteoric intellect. He knows more than Greeley, which is saying the most that can be said; for Ben Wade, who is a competent authority, says that Greeley knows more than any man tbat ever lived—a convic- tion that forced itself upon Wade’s mind after vainly endeavoring for eleven successive hours to understand an election table in the Tribune Almanac. Train, as we have said, is great. He is better than Socrates on philosophy and long-winded argument, better than Confucius on moral precepts, and if he were two thou- sand years old—which he will be if he sticks to cold water—the Hindoos and Chinese would worship him instead of Buddh», Indeed, an acute intellect could traco many similarities between Buddha and Train, the more obvious of which would be that both are so far above ordinary understanding as to be incomprehen- sible alike tn silence and in utterance, and that both concern themselves in human life for no conceivable reason, and mix up bewildered humanity in inextricable puzzles of action, no one can say to what purpose. Doubtless this excursion means more than mere getting drunk, and we shall wait with impatience tor Train’s speeches, to see if we can make out what it does mean. The State Ticket—Hulburd the Representa- tive of the Party of Corruption. The leading man on the radical State ticket is the candidate for Comptroller, Calvin T. Hulburd. All the rest a:e mere leather and prunella, and count for nothing. Hulburd, who has been twice elected to Congress from St. Lawrence county, has a very curious Con- gressional record, his labors in the capacity of Congressman being confined almost exclusively to hunting up charges of corruption against Collector Smythe. He was the chief scout of the Smelling Committee employed for that pur- pose, and he certainly gave evidence of extra- ordinary sagacity in the performance of bis duties. He obtained a good deal of informa- tion about the ladies who visited the White House, watched their comings and goings, and could dedoribe their toilets minutely. Mrs, Perry, of Ohio, came in for his especial sur- veillance. This kind of business would seem rather to belong to a Mantilini or a Jenkins than a member of Congress. However, Hul- burd went into it with a gusto that would have belittied these historic individuals. There was nothing too small for him to poke into, and he was rewarded for his enterprise by discovering the corruption after which he was sent, for did he not find forty cents’ worth of corruption in the shape of candy given by Collector Smythe to a lady of the President’s family? This was the very purpose for which he was appointed, ‘and he came out triumphant, Could Fouché or Vidocq boast of greater successes in the detective art? Bat it is curious that while Hulburd was hunting up this forty cents’ worth of candy with so much assiduity, corruptions the most in- famous were being perpetrated under his very nose. We know from other sources that some hundred and fifty millions of dollars wero being stolen from the government just about this time. Greeley and Callicott and the rest of the gang of leading republicans have admitted it. They volunteered the inldtmation that Hulburd could not discover, or, if he dis- covered, he concealed it, so intent was he upon inculpating Collector Smythe in the small matter of torty cents’ worth of candy. And this is the leading man on the radical State ticket. Yea, verily, Hulburd is the ticket, for there is no other name on it worth forty cents in candy. Asplendid and fitting representative, truly, of the most atrociously corrupt party ever known to the world. This is the ticket which the the people of this State are impudently asked to vote for as the best that could be offered for their acceptance. Jehe Mitchel’s New Paper. John Mitchel announces the publication of & new weekly paper in this city on the 12th of October. From its name--the Irish Citizen—-we presume that it is to be devoted to the interests of the Irish people; but suppose we were to strike ont new path for Mr. Mitchel by sug- gesting that as so many of bis countrymen have been for years past in the enjoyment of good offices there might be a fair chance for bim in the same line. He cannot fail to observe that hia fellow countrymen, O’Gorman and O'Reilly and O'Kelly, O'Brennan, O’Lyneb, O'Shannon and O’Brien, are, or have been, ot hope to be, the possessors of fat offices and large emolu- mtents, Some of these gentlemen have already y ast y successfully on the contracted bagis. of ; hold the office of Sheriff, the most profitable in | Kaswe Company at ie new the city, and others of them are candidates for the same place. Why not O’Mitchel have a fair chance, if he only has the same genius for getting hold of it? There isa fortune in one term, and it would be much better than that farm in Alabama which he once jocularly wished for, but never got. CITY INTELLIGENCE. ‘Tae WeaTHER —A decidedly cold snap has been the se- quence, if not consequence, of the gale of Sunday night All day yesterday blue noses and warm overcoats were the indispensable concomitants to a promenade in the city.
