Again we have a report irom Washing on that Mr. MeVulloch is about to leave the Cabinet. For two y we herve been hearing rumors of changes in tle Cabinet. It has been a stock theme all along for Washington correspond- ents, who rung tie changes sometimes on one secretiry and sometimes on another, and occa- sionally on all the Cabinet at once, Nor have these reports been without foundation at times, 80 far as the wishes or intentions of the Presi- dent wens. But most of the old Cabinet have remained, and those members of it especially who should have been removed long ago. The President bas been vacillating and undeter- mined, badgered and threitencd by his ene- mies, and pulled this way and that by his pro- fessed friends till ho know not what to do. The consequence is that Mr. Soward, Mr. McCulloch and Mr. Willea have hung on to their places. Had Mr. Jobnson made a com- plete change at the commencement of his administration be would have saved himself and the country a great deal of troable. But that is past, The question now ia how far the evil cau be remedied and what course the President should take hereafter. These old members of the Cabinet have neither the confidence of the people nor of Con- gress, except, periaps, that Mr. McCulloch is insidiously supported by the Chase radicals and the national bank men. Yet this is about as strong a reason a3 the President could find for dismissing him. Welles is a nonentity ; Seward is a trimmer and a mayrplot, and McCulloch is running the country into financial embarrassment by his incapacity and impracti- cable theories, They are all a positive weak- ness to the administration; but McCulloch is more than that—he is a great caamity to tlie country. The Secretary of the Treasury is simply the creature of Mr. Chase and his frfonda, He runs the Treasury machine for their benefit. The complicated system es!ablished by Mr. Jhase and perpetuaied by him provides places for an army of tuat portion of the radical party and creates colossal fortunes for the Jay Cookes and national bank capitalists, Two objects are reached by th’s Treasury machinery and finoncial policy, if policy it can be called. irst, Mr. Chase und bis friends and partisans are made rch at the expense of the people, and, second, a powerful combination is estab- lished for the purposs of controlling political afairs and placing the Chief Justice in tue White House. When we look attho menner in which our national flaances have been managed from tho time Mr. Chase wen the Treasury Depart- ment up to the present time, we are foreed to the conclusion that the objects have been as we have stated. It has been one system all through, asystem to enrich friends and parti- sins and to create @ moneyed power in the republic. Mr. McCulloch has faithtully carried out the purpose of his chief and patron. Bank- ers and politicians from Ohio, Indiana and other parts have had control of the Treasury and the resources of the country, What that has cost the people it would be hard to guossa. The sum must be stupendous. In fact, our enormous national debt is the consequence. We need not have been burdened with this debt. If any debt had been nocessary it would have been comparatively small had Mr. Chase followed the advice and accepted the of- fers ot the New York bankers at the beginning of the war, as it was understood he agreed to do. A bundred and fifty millions in gold was raised for him by tho bankers then, and had he sold bis securities for what they would bring in the market at the timo, as he had been advised to do, the capitalists of this city and other parts of the country would have fur- nished all the money he requirod. But this would not have made Jay Cooke and other friends rich, nor would it have erected a moneyed power in Mr. Chase’s inter- est. We should bave had no suspension of specie payments and a comparatively small debt; but Mr. Chase would not have attained the object he had inview. Mr, McCulloch is but the agent and tool of Mr. Chase in perpetusting the ruinous Gaancial system originally establish- ed. He is merely a small couatry banker, bas no idea of national dnance, and only follows his master, Sucl is the Secretary of Treasury with ‘a great country is cursed. We are losing ions through his ineapacity. Uniess he be removed wo shall be plunged juto dresdful faanoial disasters, If the Presi- dent has not courege or sagacily enough to re- move the other old Cabinet officers he should, at least, request Mr, MeCulloch to resign, and ap- point some alie man in his place. We neod a statoeman, and nota small couutry banker, at the hoad of the Treasury Department The Democratic State Convention. The Democratic State Convention presents a ‘ieket and a plaiform—the latter containing some satisfactory dgc!arations on subjects of iinportanco to the people at the present hour, as the national finances, negro suffiage and the Excisa law. But it is, In truth, of com- paratively small consequence just at present what may be said by any mere party machina, The canvass in this State, as between the parties, amounts to nothing; and whichever one m:y win, the result will settle no point in the national struggle that is really worth thought. Yet, though the party issues are not worth consideration, the opinions aud views of prominent men have their own significance, and this gives a certain value to the speech of ex- Governor Seymour, delivered in the Conven- tion om Thursday. We have now had a@ speech from a distinguished democrat in the convention of hia party, as we had the other day from a distin- guished republican in the convention of that party; and if these efforts are to be taken as comparatively representing the intellect of parties in this State, it is clear that the weight of brain is immensely against the radicals. Mr. Conkling’s speech was as pitiful a piece of party {ume as ever came to the dignity of print, while Mr. Seymour’s gives a vigorous, clear, siatesmanlike view of the condition of the country and indicates the real points of importance and danger in our future. Had Governor Seymour adhered to the principles on which he was last chosen to high office his pos:tion to-day might have been a commanding one ; but he got lost and has been wandering for five years. He sees daylight again now and struzgles toward it well; but he is not out of the woods yet, As for Mr, Hoffm in’s ajpearance in the State Convention, it is said (hat he went to be endorsad, that he might bo accepted by the men who are to make the next Mayor of this city. Ho will fiad that so far from having beea endorsed he has been desivoyed, The Disturbance in Italy—What Will Be- come of the Pope? The movements in Italy are beyond all police power. Movem:nts of the people originating. in @ sentiment common to every man and boy—a sentiment ready to flame into onthu- siastic and universal expression—can only be controlled by larze masses of soldiery. Aud whence are these to come? The Pope has none of his own that are worth mention. None can come from the kingdom of Italy ; for though the King of Italy arrested Garibaldi, it was only because Garibaldi was violating Italian neutrality. With trouble in the Pope’s own territory Viclor Emanuel has nothing to do. And even if he desired to interfere he dare not ; for iv is more than probable that any attempt on his part to save the Pops would only involve his own rule in the Pope’s ruin. Can troops to save the Pope’s temporal power come again from France? It is next to cer- tain that Napoleon can only save tho Pope at the expense of his own throne; for sn imperial war against the Roman people would be a moral Mexico, and, what is more, would be Prussia’s opportunity. When the Chassepot rifle is seen on the Iber the needle gun will be seen south of the Main, - And this is the pos- sibility that may keep France away. Left to the mercies of his subjects, the Pope’s reign will be but short, He will have to accept the century and the ideas against which he issued his encyclical letter, or he will have to leave. Where will he got? What will become of the head of the Holy Catholic Church? Only two lands can afford him an asylum—France and the United States. He may go to France and be re-estab- lished at Avignon, and thus furnish Napoleon a chunce to attempt, wich variations, the part of Charlemagne in the endeavor to reshape Euro- pein politics, with the Pope as a moral centre ot all systems. He may come to the United States, where his iollowers and adherents are more respectable, powerful and wealthy than in any country in Europe. We have hitherto proffered h.m a home at Fort Washington, and we renew the offer.. His Holiness will not find there as fine a palace as that at Avignon, but he may there enjoy finer scenery than can be found in the length and breadth of France, and he will be able to breathe in an immensely fresher and freer atmosphere, The Park Bank=Directors Stock- holders. The Park Bank corporation is showing the power of wéalth in our metropolis. To the glory of the directors, they are erecting a fine marblo monument to financial greatness, Doubtless the names of the directors will be cut upon a block, and this, prominent upon tle front of the building, will preserve their mem- ory from oblivion while the lotiers last. Suc- ceeding generations will look upoa the edifice and praise the generosity of the stockholders who have so freely contributed their funds to so laudable a purpose. Here we have, in fact, a great bank which runs iis front into the public street, obstructing the main thoroughiare where it is always the most crowded. It a one-armed veteran, who fought for a miserable pittance to preserve the life of the nation and the property of these finance lords, asks, for room to stand in, that he may sell some little article that will keep him from starving, he is rudely thrust aside. This is what we call justico—liberty! We recommend the stockholders of the Park Bank to make ample appropriations for their casket, for they can then admire their imposing front, the projection into Broadway, and the names of the directors conspicuously carved. Thus they may declare an extra dividend of beauty instead of an extra dividend of cash. versus The Cuba C We publish in another column a commu- nication from the President of the Interna- tional Ocean Telegraph Company, explaining tho causes of the delays In the transmission of messages between New York and Havana and other obstructions to the working of the line during tho twenty days of its existence. Tho explanation of Gonoral Smith is hardly necos- sary, in view of the fact that the public know perfectly well that the yellow fover was raging in the region where the telegr.phic line was in {te most active operation, and that many of tlle operators upon whom the Company depended wore victims of the scourge. We can appre- ciato the difficultles which the Company bad to undergo from the fact that our own special correspondent, who was keeping the public in- formed of the workings of the Ouban Tele- raph lino, was stricken down with yellow ver and ts cow at Lome on furlough, ondear- | oring to recover his hoallb, Tho hardest times having been passed, the Company claim to be now in a position to transmit all the messages entrusted to them, despite the yellow fever and the stormy season which has recently pre- vailed in the wooded and almost impassable regions of Florida, The Unimpertance of. the Present State Elect Our conservative republican contemporary, the Times, declares that the issue involved in the present election in the State is the ques- tion of the reconstruction of the South. If the Times is correct, then we are only voting over again on the same issue on which we voted last year. The people then, with a remarkably unanimous voice in every State, endorsed and confirmed the basis of settlement embraced in the constitutional amendment, and returned to Congress a sufficient majority of the professed supporters of that amendment to ensure the immediate reconstruction of the South uider its provisiuns, Since the fall election of 1866, however, the radicals in Congress have disre- garded the decision of the people, abandoned the principles laid down in tho constitutional amendment, and launched out again into an open sea without chart or compass. They have passed aso-called reconstruction law, in which, ag one of their own oxgans declares, they try to “circumvent God.” But it is a law which only increases the former confusion and disor- ganization by revolutionizing the government, virtually abolishing the executive department, and establishing in place of our existing consti- tutional system, in one event a military des- potism, and, in the other, negro supremacy. Under the legislation by which they have over- thrown the constitutional amendment there is no escape from one or the other of these two resulls, The Times is well aware of these facts, and occasionally admits that the radicals have abused the power ont!rustgd to their hands and plunged the country unnecessarily into renewed trouble and contusion. Bub it fails to adhere consistently to this or any other position, and heace affords no aid to those who would remedy the evils of radical mia- rule. If, aa it says, the issue in the approaching election is reconatraction, it is only a proof of the utter failure of the republican party to carry out the previously expressed will of the people. But the truth is, the present election is merely a fight between copperheads and radicals for a few paltry State offices; and, whatever may be the result of the scramble, it will have no manner of effect upon the real issues of the day. When it is over, however it may terminate, then will commence the great independent cons‘i‘utional movement, which, in the Presidentiil election of next year, will spread over the whole country, carrying Grant and Sheridan into power, and sweeping the small, scrambling factions who are now fighting over a handful of insignificant offices, into eternity. Tho Immediate Necessity for Paving Madi- sou Avonue. For mont’s past large building opérations have been carried on in Fifth avenue—opera- tions which were necessitated by the gradual spread of tie city towards the Park—the effect of which has resulted in gradually blocking up the roadway of that large and handsome thoroughfare. Vehicles have been compelled in their progress, after getting above Forticth street, to procee.l in single file, on account of the buildings and building materials which jut out into the roadway and fill up all the inter- mediate space. There ia no need, however, that these hindrances in Fifth avenue should seriously interfere with public locomotion. Immediately adjoining and running parallel to the former thoroughfare is the wide vista of Madison avenue, which, by a recent enactment of the Legislature, has been opened up from Forty-ninth street to the region adjacent to the Park, Why, therefore, should not this thoroughfire be made available to relieve Fitth avenue? ‘The only thing wanting is the paving of Madi- son avenue, whieb has been neglected for some time, owing to the dilatory ways of the city authorities, There is such stoppage to transit, such inconveniencs to the general public through (he blocking up of the Fifth avenue boulevard, (bat we unbesitatingly recommend that Madison avenue be immediately paved and opened for general triffic. Lot the author- ities put aside their quarrel as to the relative merits of the Belgian, the Nicholson or any other pavement, and put the streot at once in condition for travel, no matter what system of pavement is employed. In fact, the new tho- roughfwe affords them an opporiunity of test- ing one or more of these rival pavements without delay, and to the great advantage of the public, Tho Newspaper Press and Frauds, There scems to be a mysterious connection between the whiskey frauds and certain repre- sentatives of the newspaper press. It is said that the National Intelligencer depends entirely on this mysterious connection for its support From the fact that the Tribune was the chief endorser of Callicott we know very well that it must also have had a finger in the pie, Thus two journals, as opposite as the poles, the one @ pro-Jobnson organ, the other an anti-John- gon organ, meet as extremes proverbially meet, and both derive inspiration from the same source, the Whiskey FIRE AT ST.
