By special telegrams through the Atlantic cable | dated in London, Floronce and Paris yesterday after- | noon, we learn that the Italian revolutionary campaign in the Papal territory has not ended, and that the opera- tions of the Garibaldians against Rome are being continucd actively under Menotti Garibaldi, Froquont skirmishes Occurred between the invaders and the Pontifical troops. A Papal force made up of cavalry and artillery attacked the command of young Garibaldi: in their intrench- ments in the province of Frosinone. After a sharp ‘fight the soldiers of the Pope were routed. The Paris Moniteur states that the Papal troops dofeated three hun- dred Garibaidians. ‘The press despatches, dated yesterday evoning, state ‘that Menotti Garibaldi effected a junction of the revolu- tionary force under his personal command with the Givision posted near Vervia. Tne Papal detachment from Rome was assailed by the united body and routed with heavy loss, the Pontifical Zouaves sulfering so- verely. The Garibaidians had five men killed and ff. teen wounded. The nows of the Garibaldian victory ‘was received with great rojoicing in Florence, A Paris telegram states that if the situation around Rome becomes ‘critical,’ the Pope will take refuge in Bavaria. The very latest telegrams from Florence and Paris Tepresens the situation of affairs in Italy as very excit- ing and critical, General Joseph Garibaldi and Joseph ‘Mazzini addressed the Italians, the first advising the @alion to advance to Rome, and the latter calling on ~ the people to proclaim a republic. From Paris we are informed that groat activity pre- ‘vailed in the naval department at Toulon. Consols closed at 93%, for monoy, in London, with the market rather woak. Five-twenties wore at 7i\ in London, and 737% 1n Frankfort, The Liverpool cotton market was stronger at a slight advance, middling vjiands closing at 8>;d. Breadstuffs quiet.

The recent trouble of the Virginia and Tennosseo Rail- road Company with the government has been settled by representations of tho directors’ committee, and the company will go on with the election of officers at the adjourned meeting.

Like a dazzling castle in the clouds, the gorgeous and imposing Presidential structure of Mr. Chase and his followers has suddenly melted away and vanished. From its turrets to its foundations it has disappeared. The late emphatic verdict of the people of Ohio against immediate and universal negro suffrage has, in a word, set aside Mr. Chase as a Presidential candidate for 1868, and brought the great soldier and champion of the Union cause con- spicuously in the foreground as the central figure on the canvass, around whom all other Presidential availables or aspirants are secon- dary and subordinate characters. As it was with Cesar, so it may now be said of Mr. Chase—* Yesterday he might have stood against the world ;” but now, looking to the succession among practical matter-of-fact men, “there are none 80 poor as do him reverence.” Yesterday he had, apparently, the game in his hands against all competitors. Standing on the platform of universal negro suffrage, and strengthened on every side by his financial system, including his national bauks, holding within his grasp the control- ling machinery of the republican party, believing bis ruling idea on suffrage, o foregone conclusion, and having, a3 hé sup- posed, neutralized the claims of Grant, Sheri- dan, Stanton and other heroes of the military department, by jostling their heads together with that of “Andy Johnson,” the rank and file of the republican party were silenced. They saidacthing, because they saw not clearly any way of escape. Mr. Chase, to all appearances, was the com'ng man. This was his attitude on the morning of the 8th of October; but the next rising of tho sun found him in the position of General Lee at Appomattox Court House, and Grant the master of the situation.

While thoro continued an acti export tin broadatatfs, business in almost all othor ts of trade was very quiot; prices, however, party of the war in the name of General Grant. From Maryland to Missouri, from Massachu- setis to Moatana, from the Delaware to the Sacramento, public meetings and resolutions procleiming General Grant for the succession are orler of the day. At one of these 3 at Philadelphia the other day a of gratitude for pre-eminent public services in the field of war, said that Grant, like Washington, and Jackson, and Harrison, and Taylor, was sure of his reward. But it might have been added that while the people of the loyal States remember that the armies of the Union, scattered about over eight hundred thousand square miles of territory, eclipsed, under Grant, the grandest combinations, battles and victories of the great Napoleon, it will be folly to talk of other can- field. Nor, in practical statesmanship, has any one of the lending politicians of the day proved himeelf the superior or the equal of General Grant in the management, for instance, of this dificult business of Southern reconstruction. In this view, then, a8 o statesman, on his first appearance as a Presidential candidate before the country, he will stand in comparison not only far above Taylor or Harrison, but much higher than Jackson himself; for in the outset General Jackson was known in the East only as the hero of New Orleans, and of some Indian fights in Alabama, and of the hanging of six militia men, and of that fatal duel with Dick- son, and of bloody rough and tumble fight, pistols and bowle knives, with Colonel Benton and other parties, on both sides, in Nashville. This was so; yet, when put to tho test, “ Old Hickory” proved himself more than a match in statesmanship for Clay, Calhoun, Webster and Nick Biddle, separately or combined. Grant presents none of these attributes of the ferocious backwoodsman, | amiable, modest little man. He is a puzzle to experts in character and to the keenest poli- ticians, and yet be stands, like King Saul, a head and shoulders above all the host of ho change except in a few cases, Coffee was Colon was ia fair demand and J40, per ld, mighty men of Israel, We have special despatches from Cuba to the 1th, | camp of the intractable “ troops were expected from Spain. | the manner of the old abolition faction in tueir New revolts were expected ia Venesuela, and the mi | day, Let them go.

The dominant outside, must fall into line or clear the track. Otherwise they will be run down and de- stroyed. The democrats will probably concen- trate again upon General McClellan, and, if relieved of Vallandigham, he will serve as well ag any other man to hold the party in position in view of the campaign of 1872. The prelim- inary skirmishes for 1868 have swept out the radical Jacobins and their revolutionary schemes. They must now drop into the rear or join the guerillas, The vote of New York, in November, will only give a new impulse to these popular movements for Grant, so that, with the reassembling of Congress, the fact we expect will bo recognized in both houses—that the reign of the radical Jacobins is ended, that the reign of common sense is at band, and that General Grant is the coming man. The Commissioners of Emigration and the Affairs at Castle Garden. The Commissioners of Emigration owe it to themselves and to the public to put a stop at once to the indecent and suspicious squabbles that have been going on for some months past between their Genoral Superintendent at Cas- tle Garden and the agents of the several rail- road companies, who have heretofore been admitted to the Garden for the purpose of sell- ing tickets to the emigrants and forwarding them to their destination without subjecting them to the danger of going outside and find- ing their way to tho several railroad offices in the city. It appears, from some unaccountable motive, that the Superintendent has taken it upon himself, or has induced the Commissioners, to exclude trom the Garden all railroads except the New York Central, and the emigrants have, in consequence, been driven to purchase tick- ets over that line or to obtain them outside. The agents of the Erie and Pennsylvania Cen- tral railroads have thereupon obtained a mandamus to compel the Commissioners to admit them to the Garden, and the whole thing will probably result in all the roads withdraw- ing their agencies from the depot, and selling no emigrant tickets except at their outside offices, Under their present management the Com- missioners of Emigration appear to be studying how not to protect the emigrants. Last year they prevailed upon the State Legislature to authorize them to collect an additional amount of commutation tax, and they now receive two dollars and a half for every emigrant who lands at Casile Garden. They have an enor mous balance of money on band, which does not appear to be of any advantage either to the emigrant or to the public, and, with every facil- ity for doing a great deal of good, they seem only to multiply abuses and causes of complaint by their inefficient and extraordinary manage- ment Every day we hear of some case of neglect of or imposition upon emigrants in the institution especially established for their protection; and yet the time of the Commis- sioners or their employés is so wholly occu- pied in squabbling and fighting over the rail- Our special cable despatches from Italy indicate that the revolution is rapidly pro- gressing to a.serious crisis, Young Garibaldi has not been taken prisoner, but is at the head of a large body of insurgents and gaining ground, An engagement of quite a serious character has just taken place in the Papal province of Frosinone, upon the Neapolitan frontier, about forty-eight miles southeast of Rome, in which the Pontifical troops were badly defeated. Large bodies of insurgents were also skirmishing in different directions. The greatest excitement existed in Europe, and throughout Ttaly the revolution is the great centre of interest, The Pope, it is supposed from a rumor in Paris, will leave for Bavaria, where he has been offered an asylum. It is difficult to imagine a more complicated condition of things for Victor Emanuel and Napoleon. If the Pope leaves Rome the Italian people will force Victor Emanuel to take pos- session of the Holy City and the States of the Church. The Italians, so determined to effect the unity of their countfy, would other- wise force a revolution against thelr King. Louis Napoleon will also be obliged to show his hand, and if he be determined to protect the Roman Pontiff in his territorial rights we may expect such complications in the Roman question as may result in a general European war, Tho very latest advices indicate that the Ttalo-Roman situation is rapidly tending to this result, The elder Garibaldi and Joseph Mazzini have each addressed a manifesto to the Italians, urging a national advance on Rome and the proclamation of a republic, while from Paris we learn that great activity prevails in the naval department at Toulon. Greeley on Grant and Military Popinjays. Greeley is in a dreadful state, and is threat- ened with another terrible spitting fit. It will be remembered with what emphatic froth be expectorated his wrath on the platform of his party when it nominated General Scott, and he now gives “timely notice ” that he will “spit” with more fury than ever upon the nomination of Grant. He perceives that the nomination of Grant is inevitable, and gives the case up in advance. He feols and knows that the popular movement for Grant is so strong, 80 full, so absolute with the national will, that no party machinery can resist it, and that there- fore all old political speculators and bullies of his particular stripe must give place to practi- cal men. He sees that the future is for the men made by the war, not the men who made it, and he declares his intention to give up the struggle. Alas, poor Greeley! He was a fel- low of infinite vanity—a fine fancy for twist- ing things into false lights. Where be now all his quips of statistics, and his gibes of the bad motives of others? It is amusing to note with what characteristic display this great politician, “like a tom cat, dies by inches.” He goes out with an indulgence of impotent insult and vanity, empty philosophy and an almost tear- ful declaration of his humanity. His insult is to the whole American people. He declares that the great soldier who saved the nation is a mere military popinjay. He drags an ancient poli- tician from the grave to throw this insult over his shoulder. Greeley and Granger, it seems, were wondering for what they had been toil- ing just after Seward’s election, Greeley being then as uncertain of his purposes as now. Thus, as the wise men wondered, there came in a popinjay, “in all the bravery of brand- new uniform and epaulettes,” who had just been appointed on the Governor's staff. “There!” said Granger, “I have wondered for what I have been toiling, sweating and road commission business that they suffer these daily outrages to pass unnoticed and make no attempt to apply a remedy. It is clear that there is something radically wrong at the bottom of all this business, The Commissionors of Emigration, as a public body, have two plain duties to perform—to foster the interests of the port of New York, and to extend information and protection to the emi- grants, At present they do neither the one nor the other. They should at once set about reforming their management, ond their first step should be to clear out each inefficient or incompetent officer in their employ and fill his place with a competent man. They have some- thing else to do than waste their time in dis- graceful squabbles over railroad matters, If they fail to make these necessary reforms, the general government should take the emigrant business into its own hands, and a law of Con- gress should be passed giving the whole con- trol over emigration to the United States connected With that bureau, At of Castle Garden are little better than a farce, x | end the whole business is disgracefal to the | tiean speaker, touching upon the popular | Siate and an injury rather than @ benefit to the emigrant. Southern Railronds, Our Washington correspondent informs us . that a number of prominent Soutbern railroad men, including Generals Beauregard and Mahone, have been in consultation with the War Department with reference to obtaining an ex- tension of time for the payment due the govern- ment for rolling stock purchased after the close of the war. It is too well known that, unforta- didates for the Presidency if Grant is in the | nately, since the close of tho war, these railroads have not been in a prosperous condition. In travelling over the Southern railroads one sees that the amount of travel, and even that of the slowly increasing freight, is insufficient to pay expenses. In many respects tho railroads have shared the misfortunes of the people at large Short crops, floods, pestilence, and political un- certainties still more fatal in their influence, have all combined to aggravate the situation. This state of things demands the sympathy of well-disposed persons of every shade of politi- cal complexion, North and South. It is obvi- ously the true policy of the government tq favor inevery way the development of the ma- terial prosperity of the South. This largely de- pends upon the prosperity of the Southern railroads. The government well understands this, and it is gratifying to know tbat General Grant, to whom the representatives of tbe Southern railway interests have appealed, will lend his influence in their favor, The Henatp, which has always strenuously advocated all movements tending towards reconstruction, He is # quiet, | does not hesitate to advise q liberal polley with reforencé io the Soathérn railroads. It fs | of no little historical interest to find distin- guished ex-generals of the Confederate army consulting with General Grant upon the best | when our party is out of power.” worrying in political strife these twenty years ; but now I see; it was to make that young man feel as well as he does to-day.” And Greeley applies these words to his present situation. Grant is the popinjay and Greeley the great man. Greeley modestly admits that he made the war; that he conducted it to a successful issue ; that he alone carried the country on his shoulders, “toiling, sweating and worrying ;” and now, after all this, he sees that popinjay Grant, that more vanity of the popular will, “in uniform and epaulettes,” striding into the Exec- utive chair. What wonder that a great man, taking this view of life and history, should full to cursing and express his readiness to die—somo death not very painful. Having reached this heroic point in his resolution the poor old fellow indulges the philosophy of the “outs,” and lays down the heads of a chap- ter on the advantages of failure. He would rather be beaten than not, which shows a | wonderful peculiarity of disposition on his part that he should “ toil, sweat and worry ” against | the result that would be most agreeable to him. “Personally,” he says, “we have an easier time, with far less anxiety and trouble, | Here he | goes into # sirange confession, telling the | world with bold impudence that when a party | he opposes is in power, then, if “public money | is stolen (as stolen it is and will be), we can | pitch into the powers that be for putting thieves into office, or keeping them in—an easicr task than to defend them.” Here is an exact measure, on the best authority, of Greeley’s honesty. Here he confesses, lays his whole soul bare and tells the people what his motives are and always have beea, and what is his standard of public virtue and the duty of a journalist. It is a party business entirely. Thieves will rob the public treasury any how; | if the thieves are ours—if our party put them in, says this pure sage, this lecturer of public morals, then it is our duty to “defend them;” if the thieves belong to any other party than ours, we are at liberty to “pitch in” and clamor with might and main against the rob- bery. Here ia the code of political ethics by which this saintly creature trims his course. We doubt if those who have thong) the worst of Greeley ever thougut anything so bad as ; this, Three Card Monte on Wall Street. We yesterday published an interesting letter on the perils of Wall streot, The instance given where a young business man from St. Louis tried to make @ corner is only one of the numerous tricks which are played upon unsuspecting travellers, who fancy that for- tune awaits investments in the bubbles which glitter at the broker's touch. A man may try his band among the old gray wolves at the stock board.

It is @ notorious fact that nearly all the stock brokers who bave figured for fifteen or twenty years in the stock market have come out as poor as they commenced. In fact, Wall street is an extensive three card monte table. You are willing to bet your whole pile that you can tell where the right card is; you stake heavily; the cards are turned up and—“ you’ve lost !” paul eset The Opening Day of the Jockey Club. The opening day of the American Jockey Club’s autumn season was ushered in yester- day with all the splendor of October sunshine, lghting up the panorama of nature in which the Jerome Park is centred. Nature, more brilliant in its animated form than the mantle of foliage that enwraps the Park, was there too, reproduced in the thousands of beautiful women who thronged the stands, filled the carriages, and helped, with delicate and jew- elled fingers, to empty the plethoric baskets ingeniously stowed away to supply those material comforts for which neither the beauty of the weather nor the excitement of the occasion can provide a substitute. Fashion held its place, and curiosity was abundantly satisfied. All classes wero represented, and people of all tastes found room enough to indulge their peculiarities. Tho scene, upon the whole, was one of those kaleidoscopic views of New York life peculiar to our metro- politan civilization—gayety in its gayest cos- tume, and sorrow in its most sombre robes. But as there is rarely to be found in human life a chapter unalloyed by some gloomy incident, 80 the races yesterday left one item upon their record throwing a cloud shadow behind it—a jockey was killed riding over ahurdle. That was the only drawback to the first day’s pleasure. There are many more days to come, when, no doubt, the sport will be quite as attractive; but let us hope that it will not be interrupted by the untoward accident of yesterday, The Whiskey Seizures in Philndelphia. The whiskey bibbers of the City of Brotheriy Love are sorely troubled by the United States authorities at the present time. On Monday afternoon the revenue officers, assisted by a large force of marines and police, started on their weekly raid against the illicit stills in which Philadelphia seems to abound. The guerilla patrons of these lawless establish- ments hovered around the attacking force, but used no other weapons than scowling looks and tongues well trained in invectives and curses. The whiskey army was neither clean nor respectable, and the fair sex was misrepresented on the occasion by ragged and unfeminine looking specimens, who dragged along still more wretched looking children. The casualties were confined to the demolition of hogsheads of “molasses mash,” and the trophies were two tin pails and some stills. One Irighman alone made a stout but unavail- ing resistance, and the expedition returned crowned with curses instead of laurels, Many of the troops suffered severely in the olfactory organs, for “molasses mash” is not particu- larly sweet scented. There isa great difference between the plan of campaign adopted by the foes of illicit whiskey in the Quaker City and that in vogue in this olty. Instead of a charge of bayonets, we capture the enemy by a charge of greenbacks, and our revenue officers are received with smiles and outstretched hands instead of frowns and uplifted weapons, The receipts of the Internal Revenue may not be aided as well as by the Philadelphia tactics, but then both parties are in better humor, and the officers of the government pocket a great deal more money. The hogshead of “molasses mash” is not spilled on the ground, but only emptied into the stomachs of the hostile forces, and illicit distillation goes on and revenue officers build themselves brown stone mansions in con:e- quence of this convenient mode of wartare. We fear very much if some of the Philadelphia revenue authorities were to come here with their force of marines they would be aston- ished to find their brother officials and the distillers hobuobbing together, and the government cheated out of thousands of dollars every day. The votes of the whiskey population of Gotham, and expected douceurs, have a great deal to do with this state of | affairs. The Pope's Allocution, In the Heratp of yesterday we printed the text of the allocution delivered by Pio Nono, | in the Consistory at Rome, on the 20th of Sep- tember last. The Pope, poor man, feels sore because of his position. His enemies! He On the suo- Alpine government he lets fall his heaviest malediction. It is curious to notice how easy and Indifferent Catholic Italy feels under tho anathemas of the “Holy Father. Even Victor Emanuel endures excommunication with wonderful equanimity. The Pope talks of bis right to avenge the Church’s wrongs. In the mouth of the Vicar of Christ the word avenge is unfortunate. What government now fears his vengeance? How changed are the umes since the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa humiliated himself in the public square of Viterbo, by falling on his naked knees before the English Pope Adrian IV.! But Pio Nono and his advisers will not admit the change. They still live, or rather believe they live, in the Middle Ages. From our point of view we wonder that the Holy Father should plaguo himself with such baubles as the temporal power and Italian Church property. These are not essential to the existence and even suc- cess of the Papacy. Pio Nono, good and amia- ble as he is, is too old to learn, Of this the allocution before us is sufficient proof. With the advent of his successor we may expect the commencement of a new era in the history of the Papacy, The Park Bank Encroachment. The Grand Jury having cognizance of the subject, have agreed upon the presentment of the Park Bank encroachment as a nuisance. We may 200n, therefore, expect dovisive notion against it, We have, at all eyynis, no reason to doubt that the nuisang will be removed The Steau*oat Richwond Disaster. The farce of an iii2uest, held up the Hudson river, over the remains Of one of the fromen murdered by the “culpable negligence or wilful design” of the officers of one or other, or both, of the steamers Dean Richmond or Vanderbilt, should not serve to divert the public mind from that disaster. It amounts te nothing at all. A few witnesses on one side were examined, the verdict of the Coroner's jury put the blame on the other side, and the other side comes out and denies its culpa- bility. It ts just such « trick as is frequently resorted to in similar cases to make the pub- lic suppose that some sort of a conclusion bas been arrived at, that the affair has not been suffered to pass unnoticed, and leaves the guilty parties unpunished, while each side sat- isfes itself with its own explanation. The people care very little about the con- troversy between the rival lines, as to which boat was the most to blame for the collision. They know that it was the result of wicked and criminal carelessness, and that it wasa disaster that, but for a miracle, would have been attended by a terrible loss of life and have spread sorrow into hundreds of happy homes.
