EUROPE. ‘The news report by the Atlantic cable is dated yester- day, October 11. The Garibaldian invaders and native insurgents in the Papal province of Viterbo have concentrated their forces at Fornese, where theyvhave thrown up intrenchments. Menotti Garibaldi was marching with his command to join them. Detachments of the Pope’s soldiers bad been despatched from Rome to attempt to dislodge the evolutionists, while a strong force bad been ordered to prevent, if possible, the junction of the younger Garibaldi with them. The garrison in Rome was much weakened in conse- quence and the Garibalaians hope that a ‘‘rising" will take place in the city. The Pope, it is sald, feels cont- Gent that his troops can combat the bands of Garibal- @ians in the provinces successfully, but fears that the King of Italy may be forced by the popular voice to march portion of bis army into Rome A Paris journal asserts that the Emperor of France is quite disinterested in the matter of the reconstruction of Germany.

MISCELLANEOOS. The American Bank Note Company have decided that the alleged spurious seven-thirty bonds are really counterfeit, It is supposed they were executed in Europe. Our Washington correspondent says it is known there that $70,000 worth of. coupons of these fotes has beon redeemed by the Treasury. OMeial returns from forty-nine counties im Pena- syivania, with the estimated returns from others, give Sharswood, conservative, 2,000 majority. His majority in Philadelphia ts officially stated wt 2,487. Bioven return judges of that city have entered a protest against the reception of certain votes cast by the United States soldiers, In Obio, Hayes, republican, is elected Governor by about 2,600 majority. In iowa the coun. ties so far heard from give a majority to the repablicans of over 14,000, A portion of the evidence produced so tar before the Congressional committees charged with in. vestigating the charges of bribery and corruption alleged against W. H. Barnum, one of the Con. necticut Congressmen elect, by his former oppo- neat, P. T. Barnum, is published this morning. ‘The tesfimony goes to show that money was used HMmewhat freely by both the Barnums. One witness tentified that he paid $100 to 8 voter to vote the repub- Hieam ticket, but most of them stated that the money expended by W. H. Barnum was merely for what they termed general election purposes.

The Registry Board in Richmond refused to allow Genera! Imboden to register yosterday, He applied to do so under the President's amnesty proclamation, on taking the oath annexed. Advices from China, by way of the Atlantic cable, state that the rebels had threatened the city of Pekin, af- ter having had successes over the imperial troops. Neal Devenney, who killed bis wife iu Luzerne county, Pa, on the 23d of July, will be executed in the same county on the 12th of November; and Lena Miller, who Poisoned her husband about the same time, will be exe- cuted in Clearfield county ow the 13th of November. General Banks, it ie thought, will sail in the Wilder- ness to-morrow, with Senor Romero, for Mexico, Statistics of colored education in Virginia show that ten thousand megroes im the state have learned how to read during the past year, The Okie Election—A Reconstruction of the Republicaa Party. The trials ot our late stupendous civil war have lifted the people of this country far above the politicians, The results of the late elec- tions, looking simply at the offices involved and the individuals chosen to fill them, amount to little or nothing ; but in a moral and po- litical view they turn over a new leaf and open a new chapter in American history. From Pennsylvania to Indiana, as by a sort of spontaneous combustion, we see the same general popular reaction against the excesses of radical fanaticism ; but in the returns from Ohio, in which last year’s republican majority of forty thousand disappears, we have a splen- did dissolving view of Mr. Chase and his board of radical engineers and their Presidential programme of universal negro suffrage and Southern negro supremacy. This verdict of Ohio, with an emphasis which cannot be misunderstood, rules Mr. Chase and his extreme radical negro doctrines and theo- ries out of the Presidential canvass of 1868. Forty thousand majority in the hitherto im- pregnable radical State of Ohio—forty thou- eand, more or less, against engrafting upon the State constitution an amendment establishing universal negro suffrage—is a Northern protest against this thing which demands nothing less than a change of front by the masses of the republican party and a change of leaders. Messrs, Chase, Wade, Stevens, Sumner, Colfax, Chandler and Company, like the managing copperheads of the democratic party, have been “ weighed in the balances and found want- ing.” The handwriting is fixed on the wall against the demoralizing and disorganizing schemes and dogmas of both these..factions— copperheads and radicals—rejected, each in their turn, by the unfailing judgment of an in- telligent people. Tbe one hundred thousand majority in Oblo against Vallandigham, in the midst of the war, is hardly more emphatic than forty thousand, or thirty thousand, or whatever it may be, from the same people, against Mr. Chase and his congeners in the midst of peace. The voice of Ohio on this direct test of uni- versal or unqualified negro suffrage is the voice of the North, and it is given as a warning to all concerned in the coming Presidential contest. What, then, are the sensible, practical men, rank and file, of the republican party called upon todo? They are simply called upon to reorganize and take a new departure, men and measures, for the Presidential campaign. Uni- versal negro suffrage, rejected by Ohio in 1867 by thirty or forty thousand majority, must be superseded by the constitutional amendment, endorsed by Ohio in 1866 by forty odd thou- sand majority. In 1852, on Henry Clay’s great compromise measures on the slavery question, poor Pierce and the democracy against the conqueror of Mexico as the whig candidate, carried the country, North and South, as by acclamation. But, departing in 1854 from the instructions of the people, and persisting in this folly, the democracy, on the slavery issue, were torn to pieces in 1860 among the clashing ele- ments of their Charleston convention. The great body of the republican party, in being carried by their radical leaders to the oppo- site extreme of negro worship, are now warned of the same danger, and in season to avoid asimilar disaster. Their safety lies in casting out these impracticable and implacable radical leaders, in cutting loose from their destructive schemes and fallacies, and in recog- nizing and following the instructions of the people. The republican convention of Maryland, in nominating General Grant as its Presidential candidate, points out the way of safety and success. General Grant may be pronounced the embodiment of the genuine Union sen- timent of the country. Above all the disturb- ing factions, elements and embarrassments of the hour, like a commanding and well known light house, through the fog and raio and darkness he looms up in bold and cheer- ing relief. Resistless in the field, sagacious in council, cool and collected in any emergency, and practical in everything, he needs no in- geniously constructed platform to rally a great national party around him. In the very fact, however, that he is unacceptable to the radical fanatical school of Chase, Phillips, Sumner, Stevons and their brotherhood, lies his greatest strength. On any other candidate, and with any other platform than that embodied in the name and patriotic record of Genoral Grant, the conservatives of the republican party run the hazards of being divided upon two or three candidates, as were the disjointed de- mocracy in 1860, and as were the distracted opposition elements in 1856 and in 1836. The conservative Union republicans and democrats of the great Union war party of 1861 will cut loose from Chase and his bank clique, from visionary copperheads and radical Jacobins, and will rally under the banner of Grant, as the old democracy rallied under General Jackson, cut Nick Biddle and his bank, Calboun and his nullifiers, and sent them all adrift and marched on to victory. This is the road to the reconstruction of our political parties, and of the Union, and of our domestic and foreign policy, under a new dispensation adapted to the demands of the age and the great revolution through which we have passed and of that into which we are now passing. This is to be the sequel of these late elections and of the impressive verdict of Ohio against universal and immediate negro suffrage. It all means # new national party in the name of the Union and General Grant, his election in a popular whirlwind, and a seitlo- ment of all our present difficulties under his edministration, Our City Amuapmenta. The fall season of amusemen's has so far been very successful, especialiy with those managers who have spared. no expense or troublean bringing out novelties, both musical and dramatic, and placing them in a complete manner on the stage. The most striking examples are Ristori’s Marie Antoinetie and Tostee’s La Grande Duchesse, The former is regaining her old popularity and crowded houses, which she was in danger of losing en- tirely by commencing with the oft-repeated plays of last season. The latter has taken Gotham by storm, and promises to have a run @ la Black Crook. The advent of Leopold de Meyer is a decided novelty in concert, and crowds throng to Steinway Hall to hear his wonderful pertormances.. Italian opera has also a novelty in the person of a great tenor, but the public do not as yet seem to be aware of the fact. Now, if we had had the management of the opera for the last two years we would not have suffered such en institution, when presented by good artista, to hide its light under a bushel of empty benches and slim receipts. Maretzek has been boiled, fried and fricasseed, and finally reduced to skeleton proportions, while he was in the hands of Bohemians. Under our management his fortune would have been made, especially when he possesses a tenor with a voice of gold, as far as the power of attraction goes. In point of amusements the metropolis is plentifully supplied at present, and vast sums are weekly expended in this way. There are about twenty-five theatres and halls in this city, the average weekly receipts of each ranging from three thousand to ten thousand dollara. If we add to this about twenty thou- sand dollars for expenses at each house, both of managers, actors and audience, we sball not overestimate the amount weekly expended on amusements in the metropolis. Election—Whe Shall Be Mayor? Much more than the usual degree of interest already centres around the coming election for Mayor of this city, and the struggle prom- ises tobe an exciting one. The old Tammany ring—the Tweed and Sweeny machine—will carry Hoffman if possible; though the new Tammany ring of McLean and Connolly, sensi- ble of the deficiencies of that candidate, are afraid of his very name and eager for any other. But while these parts of Tammany dis- pute their case, Fernando Wood, to the aston- ishment of every one, has come ont with as much vitality as if he had discovered a foun- tain of political youth. He has been around “buzzing,” organizing and making pretty speeches in all the wards ; he has visited all the grogshops, ail the prayer meetings, all the eburch conventicles, festivals and lovefeasts, all the gambling houses and all the lottery shops, and has thus stirred up the elements of Political power to a tremendous extent. He has discharged a perfect deluge of ridicule upon Hoffman in all these comings and goings, especially upon the vetoes of our Illustrious, incomparable, incorruptible and otherwise funny Mayor. It has occurred to Fernando, as to others, that the Mayor’s vetoes formed ® chapter in his history not sufficiently known ; and thus it has been shown exactly how Hoffman protects the public interests~-how he vetoes every scheme that threatens to rob the public purse of sums between sixteen cents and a dollar, while if there comes along @ job with millions of corruption in it he reso- lutely shuts his eyes, and there is no veto! Fernando has done wonders in showing up all this, and hereupon we must give the Tammany leaders some good advice, for if they don’t take care Wood will make himself Mayor with the assistance of all this newly prepared machinery. How can this be prevented? For we do not want to see Wood in his old piace again, though, indeed, we would rather see a man of his efficiency and force of character there than to see the place held by a humbug and a nonentity. It is, moreover, to be said for Wood that under him the city expenditure was only eight millions, while under those who have been put in the same place since on the score of economy and honesty the expendi- ture has risen to over twenty millions, But Wood is not the maa, nevertheless, and there is but one way in which Tammany can prevent his election, and that is by taking up such a sound old democrat ss John Anderson, a man on whom all the gcod elements of city politics can concentrate and against whom the rings and cliques of plunderers can make no head- way. This is Tammany’s only safety. The Charter Discentent in Great Britain, Fenianism is folly. It bas made plenty of noise, given plenty of annoyance, robbed a sufficient number of servants and wasted enongh of money; but it has done, after all, literally nothing. Fuss !—it is all fuss. Feath- ers !—no, the feathers have to be concealed. At the same time it is not to be denied that Irish disaffection is a tact—a fact which is making itself very plainly manifest. The in- surrection in Ireland, which at one time, in tho estimation of its friends and promoters, prom- ised so much, never amounted to anything. It was stified in its cradle—if in its march to ma- turity it can be sald to have reached that stage. In connection with that threatened rising there are two things which it is impossible to re- fase to admit—that the insurrection has been hopelessly put down, and that the insurrec- tionists have been leniently, even mercifully, dealt with. Still, the suppression of a rebel- lion and the merciful treatment of the offenders do not necessarily imply that rebellious feel- ing has béen extinguished. The “ Irishry” are not confined now, as they once were, to Ire- land alone. They are abundant in America, in Australia, in Scotland and in England. Tne “Trishry” have a grudge against England—an old gradge, well nursed and not a little mag- nified. Wherever the “ TIrishry” are that gradge is to be found. It is found in the United States, in Canada, in the Australian colonies, in Scotland, in England—wherever, in fact, Irishmen of the Roman Catholic per suasion exist. So powerful is this feeling that on the first occasion of England’s difficulty with any foreign Power the Irish element will be found to be a source of serious danger. The disaffection which at the present moment exists in Great Brttain is purely Irish—Irish in its origin and its objects. It is not Scottish—it is not English. It may be a foolish thing, this Irish disaffection, but it exercises such a dis- turbing influence, and threatens, in certain possible circumstances, to be so serious that it is unquestionably the first duty of English land cannot be’ let ‘loose from the British em- pire, and as Ireland, in her present state, is only & cancerous sore, it is impossible that the disease can be too soen uprooted. If skill and effort are not at once directed to this evil the world will cease to. sympathize with England in ber Fenian troubles. What Should the President Det The President must now be fully convinced that the people demand a change of policy on the part of their rulers. It needs nothing else besides the late elections to demonstrate the fact. It therefore becomes necessary for the Executive to. listen to this, order and obey it The first action demanded is s change of the Cabinet, Now ia the proper time to effect that change. The fossil remains of the would-be statesmen who fill the Cabinet offices are no longer suited to the times. They must give place to the great representatives of the con- servative element which is now preparing itself to take charge of the future destinies of the ceuntry. But in making Cabinet changes Mr. Jobnson must be governed by no party passions; for it is the exercise of these passions on his part and on the part of Con- gress which has so deeply awakened the people to the necessity of governmental change. Let the new Cabinet be selected irrespective of party, and the country will applaud. A Cabinet change effected, Mr. Johnson should send a message to Congress, at the open- ing of the coming session, which, free from sec- tional feeling, sbould take in the wants of the country as 4 nation, and which, in the great issues incident to general progress, will bury the minor and petty questions which radi- cal, democrat and copperhead have thrown in to stir up the political sea. Let the message indicate a pause in the proconsular system of reconstruction, and show a desire to return to the principles of the constitutional amendment which, last year, drew to its support the whole common sense of the Union. The advantage which the President will gain by going back to this will be immense. It will be a complete overthrow of the radical programme, and wi!l restore to the Executive a support which he sadly needs to prove to us that he is » third part of the governmont. The State Election. The election in this State to take place next month has but little importance in any respect. There is no issue before the people to call out & positive expression of sentiment, as there might have been if the frightened radicals had not kept their nigger suffrage conatitulion in a safe place. Neither are the officers to be chosen of such consequence as to make it of any moment what party the supporters of the candidates shout for. From present appear- ances there is a probability that the result here will be the same as in Obio—that is, that the democratic candidates will go in, not be- cause of the strength of the democratic party, but of the apathy or defection of the republi- can voters. In both Pennsylvania and Ohio there was a visible withdrawal from the repub- lican party of its voters, and full returns will eventually show that the aggregate vote in those States is far less than a fall one. It will be the same here. Republicans, disgusted and alarmed at the dangerous tendencies of the party that has hitherto had their confidence, yet not willing to act with the democrats, will stay at home and lei the election go by de- fault. But, this election over, there will begin @ real reconstruction of partiee—a grand rally of the conservative elements around a great candidate fcr the Presidency. With the name of Grant borne aloft in the name of peace and safety we shall see the formation of a new and glorious constitutional party, and the destrac- tion and disappearance of all the plundering and pitiful factions that now roar for popular favor. The Maryland Nomination of General Grant. The Republican State Convention of Mary- land, which met in Baltimore on the 10th inst. adopted among its earliest resolutions the fol- lowing :—“ Resolved, that the republicans of Maryland, in convention assembled, recom- mend to the republican party of the Union General Ulysses S. Grant as their candidate for President of the United States.” It is not surprising that such a recommendation should be made by republicans who live on the verge of what was during the war the enemy’s ter- ritory,and who are consequently more familiar than it is possible for their brethren further north to be with the actual exigencies of the situation. The Maryland republicans feel the indispensable necessity of proposing as a can- didate for the next Presidency a man whom all sections respect and confide in as irwpired by patriotic motives, as free from bitter parti- san prejudices, and who is as judicious and magnanimous as he is firm and heroic. If the republican party of the Union heed this recom- mendation, and repudiate utterly and throw overboard all such Jonahs as Chase, Sumner, Wade, Stevens and the rest of the malignant crew who have mutinously usurped the com- mand of the ship of State, we may yet hope to escape the breakers ahead and sail safely on towards the haven of national peace and Prosperity. The Jerome Park Races, The races at Jerome Park, which is now the finest race course in the country, open to-day. The presence of ladies, attired ac- cording to the most brilliant fashions of the season, and the splendid drive afforded by the avenue opened from Harlem river to the Park—an avenue wider than the finest within the city ot New York—enhance the attractions of the programme, which is itself unusually tempting to turfites, many of the very best American horses having been entered for this occasion. If the weather is propitious a day unprecedented even in the annals of Jerome Park may be anticipated. FRENCH THEATRE--RISTORI AS MARIE ANTOINETTE. In spite of the bad weather this theatre was filled last Right to witness the fine drama of Marie Antoinette. Though acted in a foreign language, it wasso well done all through that the interest of the audience never flagged. Ristori's personation of the besutiful and anfortusate queen has hardly ever been surpassed on the stage of thie or any other country. 1t becomes @ reality inthe minds of the audience, for we see evidences of deep emotion, It is only such genius as Ristori’s that can move the passions in such a manner, Besides, she is well supported by ® good and well trained company. The drams bas been cut down since its first representa- tion, which is an improvement, for it was too long, Even now there are too many long speeches im the dia- fogne, When time shall bave brought out the defects and improvements the drama of Marie Antoisette will romain @ popular one, for it ts full of thrillins incidents stategmanshin (9 unroot it if it cam, As Ire | of nunery NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBEK 12. 1867. WASHINGTON. ‘Wasurvcron, Oct, 11, 1867, 11:30 o'Clock B, M. } The Spurlous 7-30 Bonde—Seventy Thousand Dollars Worth ot Them Redeemed. It is the opinion of experts connected with the Trea- sury Department that the counterfeit plate of the seven- thirty imitation bonds was not made ia this couniry. Suspicion as to their genuineness was first excited by the duplicate numbers, when by a close inspection with the use of & microscope and a comparison of the geauine with the their true character was discovered. About seventy thousand dollars worth of the spurious bouds were previously redeemed at the Treasury; but the government, it is ead, will lose nothing by this transaction, as it was the receipts of the various parties Presenting them. The Chief of the Loan branch, Mr. Andrews, to-day refused to furnish information on this subject, saying he di@ mot feel at liberty to do so under the recent order of the Secretary with regard to furmsh- ing information to persons mot connected with the de- partment. It is understood, however, that a report of all the facts will be made to the Secretary, when appli- cation will be made to bim fers copy of it for publi- cation, Cabinet Meeting. The regular meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day. All the members were present except Secretary Seward and Postmaster General Randall. Mr, F. W. Seward, Acting Secretary of State, was present. The Interference ef the War Department with the Election ef Oficers of the Lynch- burg Ratiread Company. ‘Much surprise is felt here and throughout the State at the course of the War Department at Washington in in- terfering with the election of a President for a provincial railroad in the Western part of Virginia, running from Lynchburg to Bristol. On Thursday, as the company owning this road, assembled in annual meoting at Lynchburg, was on the point of electing General Wil- liam Mahone its President by a large majority of the private stockholders, am order came in from the Post Commandant forbidding the election of any President, except the present incumbent, until a debt of about $55,000, due to the United States by the company should be paid, or until further orders, The friends of General Mahone immediately con- ferred together and raised the amount of debt, but on application to the Post Commandant by ‘a committee, the meeting was informed that they should ‘Rot proceed with the election, even though the dept was paid. This is a private corporation, having n0 political character, and much surprise is felt that the military authorities at Washington should have consented to be- come parties to a personal contest for the presidency of ‘& private corporation, in which the business qualifications Of the candidates were the sole test, No doubt ts enter- tained among intelligent persons that the War Depart- ment has been imposed upon by cw parte statements, Tne stockholders of the company adjourned over for a few weeks, and appointed a committee, with Colonel Gitbert C. Walker, of Norfolk, as chairman, to confer with the department on the subject and ascer- tain the nature of the statements upon which the order in question was based. This committee have arrived in Richmond and will confer with General Schofield to- morrow, who will return to that city to-night. It isto Honnicutt continues nis incendiarism.

Punched Coupons. Notwithstanding the repeated reminders given by the Secretary of the Treasury and Mr. Spinner to sub- treasurers and banks, the latter still persist in punching coupons, when presented for redemption, in such a manner as to punch out the numbers. This carelessness eccasions considerable trouble to the department, and coupons so cancelled are invariably returned to the per- sons who sent them.
