The sttuation in and around Rome daily becomes more serious. The insurgen's, headed by the son of Garibaldi, slowly, it is true, but steadily, approach the walls of the Holy City. Fighting in real earnest continues; blood, so to speak, bas been tasted, and it is safe now to take it for granted that the insurrection will go on. Garibaldi is still at Caprera, but bis words find their way into print, and inflammatory ad- awaking responsive echoes in every Italian breast. Joseph Mazzini, who bas never gone in with tho kingdom, and whose hatred of Victor Emanuel is scarcely exceeded by Gari- balli’e hatred of the Pope, sees, or thinks he sees, his opportunity and cails upon the Romans to rise and proclaim a republic. Napoleon, on the other hard, watchful of the movement and evidently biding his time, is getting his ships | in order. Whether the Italian people wil arm at the bidding of Garibaldi, whether the | Romans will proclaim a republic at the bid- ding of Mazzini, and whether French ships will be detailed to points of observation in the Mediterranean aud the Adriatic, are questions mine. Meanwhile, it is safe to ray that the situation of the Peninsula is critical almost be- | yond precedent, even in its own critical and eventful past. How events will issue it would be extremely hazirdous in present circumstances to predict. Any one of many things may happen. The Koman populace may arise and hail the in- surgents beyond the walls as their liberators, which afew days will be sufficient to deter- | ; Charles A. Dana, formerly one of the principal the slumbering energies of the republicans in France. The contagion would sproad itself over the Continent; not a throne wonld be safe; Victoria herself woul scarcely sit secure. The possibility to which we have been re- forring is a possibility fraucht with danger to the crowns and thrones of Barope. The pro- clamation of a Roman republic would, in the present staie of the public mind, be a declara- tion of war against monarchy, and would be Sccepted as such. If, therefore, on the advice of Mazzini Rome is declared a republic, we may expect to hear of the formation of some holy or unholy alliance, and to witness again a hel on popular liberty. Republicanism, if it does at this timo attsmpt to lift its head in Enrope, may again be crushed; bat it may not. Whetber it is crushed or whether it is not crushed, a struggle is possible; and the struggle may prove to be one of the most | serious in which tho forces of Europe have ever been engaged. Curious Movements in Partisan Journalism. The loaders of tho republican organization, in this and other Stites, havo for some timo been rendored very uneasy and discontented by the erratic course of their journals and reputed organs in this great metropolis, particularly their two morning dailies, the Tribune and the Times. Tho Tribune bas been in the habit of endeavoring to run the fepublican machine with all the ridiculous isms of the day as its ' motive power—such as bloomerism, aud wo- man’s rights in genora! ; spiritualism, in its various phases; vegetarianism, including squashes and bran bread ; probibition, Sunday laws, and Fourierism in all its shapes and con- ditions, It has constantly been found flying off at tangents; now up to Niagara to beg peace oi George Sind rs, Jake Thompson aud tue rest, and (o offer four bundred million dollars to the Southern slaveholders as a bonus; and now down to Ricimond to proffer siriw bail for J.ff Davis. The effect o1 ils freaks and vagaries has been made manifest in the recent Sato Aections. The Times, which has never been distinguished for much force of character, has been continually trimming its sails to catch evory anticipated change of wind, and hauling in its canvas in alarm as goon as it has begun to teal the effect of the breezs. Such being the unreliable and vacillating condition of ihe principal republican journals in New York, a consultation was some time since held by the leading men of the party in the city and State, mcluding United States Senators Morgan and Conkling, ex-Mayor Op- dyke, Wiliiam M. Evarts, Marshall O. Roberts, Isaac Sherman, ex-Congressman Frederick A. Conkling, William H. Webb, A. B. Cornell, S. B. Chittenden, Amos R. Eno, William T. Blodget!, aud others of equal prominence, which has led to an important finan. cial combination, by which it ia pro- posed to establish a new republican organ in the metropolis, on a secure basis, free from the erratic propensities of the Tribune and the jumping-jack peculiarities of the Times. The gentlemen who have undertaken this enterprise, having secured the co-operation of the President of the Broadway Bank (which institution enjoys the large profits. of the city deposits), have agreed to subscribe the follow- dressea freely circulate over the Peninsu'a, | ing sums to commence operations :—Messrs, F. A. Palmer and Marshall O. Roberis, twenty thousand dollars each; Messrs, Morgan, Conkling, Opdyke, Sherman, Webb, Evarts, Cornell, Blodzett, Eno, Murphy, Chittenden, Butler, McMartin, Blake and Cowden, ten thousand dollars each. Those parties com- mand a capital of six hundred thousand dollars, which will be doubled if necessary to carry out their purposs. They have purchased Tammany Hall, entircly remodelled the build- ing, and made arrangements to issue a morning paper, to be called the Telegraph, and to commence its sale at two cents a copy, subject, of course, to such changes as may hereatter become advisable. This newr. publican organ will be under the editorial management of editors ot the New York Tribune, in connection with the brother of United States Seaator Conkling. Its object will be to check the tollics, absurdities, vagarics and vanities of the Tribune and @imes, and to take the position of the recognized republican organ in the State of New York. This important political enterprise is backed monarchical coalftion attempting to sei its | ‘Tho secretary of the Howard Association at compelling, or permitting the Pope and his | by # large majority of the leading men of the Cardmals to flee for their lives, The insurgents, | republican party. ‘l'ho first movement made without even the intervention of foreign aid, | by tho contemplated. new. orgaa was to apply may be defeated, and this grand movement of | to the old Associated Press lor the privilege of the party of action, st one time so big with promise, may result in a miserable fiasco, Nicter Emanuel, hurrying his troops across the fro.Niers, may make himself master of the entire Papal territory, Rome included, and, by an appeal ‘0 Europe, may compol such an ar- rangement’ shall be satisfactory to the Italian nation and vonformable to the demands of the age. Or, again, the Emperor of the French my tand an arty on the Papal territory and by a second occupation of Rome beget diffi- culties Bnropean in “he range of thelr influence and disastrous beyon’ all precedent in their results. Any one of bese, to say the least, lies within the limits sf the’ Bossible. There is, however, ano possibility suggested to us chiefly festo of Mazzini. The Romans ma,¥ themselves in favor of a republic, or an. which some think is only another name wa republic. The Italian liberals, sick (as man of them are known to be) of the shiltless and indeterminate poliey of a ruler who is but a | toolin the hands of the imperial master of France, may join the ery of the Roman patriots, and compel Victor Emanuel to keep Pio Nono company in bis unwilling and un- happy fight. This possibility is not discour- aged by 9 careful consideration of the state of feeling which ia prevalent in Italy, which is leavening the masses in Spain, which is crop- | ping up in France, and which, of late, has been making itaelf very visibly manifest in the declare ‘was restricted by the excecdinaly bigh rates of (reight, toffee was quiet and Reavy.

The revolutionary ware has again swept over her. What was felt in 1789, in 1820, im 1832, in 1848, has again been making itself felt in 1866-7. The people have again, #0 to «peak, been aroused from their slumbers, ond with fearless energy have commenced to sasert public mind in Europe that constitutes the danger. A republic in Italy would be imme- diately followed by @ republic in Spain. The examples of the two neninsalas would rouse purchasing their stale, stereotyped reports. Fortunately for the parties interested, they were posiiively refused admission into the Association, principally through the jealousy, alarm and narrow-mindedno<s of the Tribune and Times. Since theirapplication was rejected ® number of ons connected with tho press and the telegraph lines have, we under- stand, formed a new and live association for the collection and sale of nows, free from the absurd restrictions and selfish regulations which characteriza the old Association—of which we are « member—and have chartered their company under the laws of the State of Connec- ticut, with a capital of one ,hundred thousand thet possibility—a | dollars, to be increased to one million it neces- by the mani- | sary or desirable.

Abnioment of the Yellow Fovor ia the Seuth. We recorded yesterday with pleasure tho fact that the yellow fever is abating rapidly everywhere in the South, On Tuesday, up to noon, there had been but seven deaths in Memphis, In Vicksburg there had been no | deaths within the previous forty-eight hours. | During the same period there were only four deaths in Galveston ond only two in Mobile. New Orleans has ‘Yolegraphed that no further contributions are* needed, inasmuch as the number of victims of this fell disease is daily decreasing. In fnticipation of the com‘nz frosta It seems to have already stayed its course, although we must warn those who havo fied northward to escape from it not to venture to return south before the frosts have actully appzarod and the newspapers of the infected districts have. wholly ceased to roport deaths from yellow fever. The epidemto bas this year been of a somo- what peouliar type, ard has upset many pre- conceived notions regarding its origin and spread. Singularly enoxgh, it bas for the most part originated in interior towns and villagus which have had no communication with infeoted ports. In Louisiana it made its first appearance at the little village of New Iberia, and spread thence with amazing rapidity over tho country. I: hid already done its fatal work in several places before a single case was reported in New Ozlesns. In many marked partioulara it has beon quite unlike any preceding epidemic, Tha! of 1853 is the only one to which it can be compared. But never before has the yellow fever been 80 prevalent. In New Orleans alone there have been between fifty and sixty thousand recorded cases, The proporiionate fatality, however, has been less than ever. This may be owing to the peculiar typs of the disease or to the increased skill of the physicians in its treat- ment. It is noted among its peculiarities this year that it has attacked young children and even infants, persons born in the city, and, in some instances, those who have previously had it, a8 well as @ large number of unaccli- mated Northerners and foreigners who have arrived in Now Orleans since the close of the war. In Mobile there have been but few cases, and in the cities up the Mississippi the fever has not been severe. Texas, however, has sul- fered terribly, and few of its healthiest interior villages have escaped the scourge. For some time past the weather bas been cool and favor able to the declino of this disease. Frost has already reached as far south as Corinth. Within a few weeks we trust that Yellow Jack will have been utterly vanquishel by Jack Frost, The retarn of health will brighien the prospects of the. South; and we. hope that there may be ere long a political convalescence which shall brighton the prospects of the entire country. Our City Politica. We publish to-day a fail and final review or the political situation in the city prior to the nomination o1 the various candidates to be voted for with the Stato ticket next month. There is a remarkable lack of interest and ex- citement about the result in ths Siate, the general fecling being that it matters little which of the two lists of copperhead and nig- gerhead politicians shall be put into « tew unimportant offices, when it 1s certain that in three or four months’ time the popular organ- ization for Grant for the Presidency will sweep all the scismbling factions out of exist- ence. But with regard to tho city election a very different state of feeling exists. All the interest with lrawn from the State centres on our city affairs, and the nominations and votes in November for county officers are watched with eagerness as indicating the probable result ot the Mayoralty struggle in December. At present Fernando Wood is doing all the ‘active work, and appears to be the foremost eqndidate. Hoffman, who isa nonentity, only serves as a foil to the bolder rascal, and is really helping Wood and advancing his pros- prets of success. If Tammany should yield to Sweeny and Tweed, and nominats Hoffman, the chances will be all in favor of Wood's election, unless the people should solidly unite on a third candidate. He will beat Hoffman out of sight. Although Wood would certainly be the preferable candidate in the choice of the two evils, wa sbould regret such a result. We do not want either @ nincompoop with a ® black mustache, or s magnificent rascal with a white mustache, at the head of the city government. We hope, therefore, that Tam- many may yet be wise enough to throw Sweeny, Tweed and Hoffman overboard, and to unite wilh the citizens in the nomination of some sound, respectaile, practicable man, such as John Anderson or John Kelly, for Mayor, and thus render Fernanlo Wood's defeat o certainly, The New wm Bridge—Tho Job Finished at Last. The country wayfarer from Westchester county must have been considerably aston- ished yesterday to find the long expected and seomingly endless job of the new Harlom Bridge completed sufficiently to enable bim to cross, without trusting himself on tho rickety wooden affnir beside it. The anti-excise devotes of lager and whiskey, whose Sunday Mecca is Westchester county, will be also astonished and delighted at having safe toot- ing and plenty of sea room to wend his zigaag way New Yorkward on Sunday night, Every citizen in the metropolis, and visitors from the “perth country” lying beyond Harlem river, will breathe easier and hobnob together with beaming countenances, because there is one job disposed of and one leak less in the State treasury. A great principle is settled—namely, that there can be an end, some time or other, to a job of the Corporation spoilers. Of course the obstacles to be surmonnted in building this bridge were enormous. There was a mighty stream to be crossed, although some ill-natared people call it a good sized ditch or drain, and insinuate that a person can almost waie over itinsummer. Then, three years were necessary for the Commissionera in charge of the work ‘\‘e deliberate before they commenced it. Alter- ati*0s were also made in the design and mate- rials °f the structure, until it seemed to be a ponitive examelson, At length, after seven years, the main part of the work is finished, and there ars decent means of communication between Gothem and the mainland, Some American Continent have boon spanned by the greatest bridges in the world in less time than it took the Harlem Brilgs Commissioners to get through with their job. However, the public may be that jobs sometimes end, and hope that by the end of the present cen- tary the new Court House also will bé at their disposal. Tho Lute Elections—Uurions aud Inetruc- tive Resalts. As wo get nearer and nearer the actual figures of the late elections in Pennsylvania and Obio the results become more and more interesting and instructive. Thus, in Pennsyl- vania, it appears, the only real gain on their vote of last year made by the democrats was in Phila lelphia, where they gained somo 3,000 votes, The vote of the two parties in 1866 (not 1865 as the Tribune has it over and over again) and 1867, in the city, was as follows :— Repu lican Vo'e. Democratic Vote 54,205 1866 48.817 687 1367. 2 O72 O18 Gal Hers @ republican loss of 4,000, excepting | observed that the people aro lef out of sigdt | | election in Ob'o. Who hie he:rrd from Chaso since the great disaster? Is ho among the killed, the wounded, or is ho only missing? Perhaps he has fallen into the bands of tha embalmers, and this is why the radical orzan begins to chant « funeral eulogy of his vires and his greatness. ‘ Advice ef Politicians te Graat. It is astonishing with what solicitule the politicians watch over the fortunes of the great soldier, now that the people have so clearly de- clared for him as the next President. A cop- perhead journal warns him to beware of the republicans making him the victim of factious tictics, It ways that though Le may be tho candidate of the conservative element of th> party the radicals will run a candidate in op- position, and that between these two and the democratic candidate there will be no cholco before the country, and the election, thus fall- ing into the House, will go to the radicals.

Y., Oct 16, 1867. The accounts of the Chamborlain or Comptroller of this city were found, at a meeting of the Common Coua- Second Congressional district of Obio on the | cr iast evening, to be deficient and wholiy unaccounted greenback issue, as it is called, and not on the negro question. There is no doubt that tne anbject of our national finances is looming up greatly in the West, and will soon become the most important one before the people. The Eastern press, in tho interest of the national banks and the bondholders, misrepre- sent the reai issuo about paying the debt in greenbacks, and improperly call it repudia- tion. It is not proposed to issue wholesale a flood of greenbacks with which to pay off the debt, but the mass of the people in the West, and, we believe, throughout the country, want the debt paid off as fast as possible while there is @ depreciated and an abundant currency. They do not want the currency contracted until a portion, at least, of the enormous weight is removed from their shoulders.

Moral Aspect of the Thentres. ceeded to The various places of amusement in ifs | and high poss ciy are at present developing tastes and pro- pensitics of the most opposite nature among their patrons. While such pieces as the Devil's Auction end the Black Crook are acting as powerful agents in the cause of immorality, we have, fortunately, in drama, what could not be found in Sodom and Gomorrah, namely, ten just people. The example of Ristori, Janauschek and such artists, is doing much to check the demoralizing influence of undressed ballet on the stage. The high, pure tone given to drama by its legitimate representatives will, it is hoped, be sufficient to stem the torrent of immorality before all our theatres are wrecked init. The very play in which Ristori has won her highest honors, and which now attracts hundreds of admirers to the French theatre, 1s typical of the stato of the stage this season. Legitimate drama is like Marie Antoinette, as itis gow hemmed around by the sans culotles of bafict and spoctacle, and is jeered at in burlesques of the broadest kind. Let us hope that it will not suffur ber fate. Miss Fanny Janauschek, a German iragedienne of the very highest order, is also doing good service in the cause of drama, oth artists appeal to the intellect and the purest feelings of the mind, while the tinsel, scanty drapery and miserable twaddle of the spectacular drama, excite only the grosser passions of human nature. The isaue of the contest is yet doubtful. Chief Justice Chase’n Ball Kan, Chief Justice Chase’s services in crushing the rebellion “were more arduous ond re- quired a more original genius than those of any other man.” So says the great radical organ, which, of course, ought to know. Chase, in fact, did manage the war at the commence- ment. He organized the first Bull Ran, He had the army in his hands; McDowell was his manand the Tribune was bis penny trampet. Through that trumpet he blew the “on to Richmond” signal tor many days, and by his own “arduous services” and “ original genius,” exerted in all ways and shapes, precipitated the army into its first disaster. He was the author of that Bull Run. Now there has been another Bull Run, of which he is both the aucbor and tho victim, This last Bull Rua, ond | from for inthe sum of $30,954 Mr, James B, Brewer, the Chamberiain of the city, has for some time publicly an- pounced his intention of resigning bis position and making the tour of Europe, and to this end bis resigna- tion of the office was some timo since placed in the hands of a committee of the corporation of Troy?wee withheld it trom the Board for the purpose of affording an opportunity to investigate the accounts, Subsequent to this a commitiee was appointed, and expert account- ants, comprising two cashiers of city banks, were em- loyed to scrutinize the accounts and unearth the al- jeged deliciencies, Tne report of the committee of the Common Council was submitted to the Board tast even- jog by Mayor Flagg, chairman, and shows thas there is a heavy doficitt im the tax accoutas of the years 1864-'65 and '66, which, taken in conzeo tion with an fiem of interest money di Mr, Brewer u} the sums deposited by bim in tho Hanoveb Bank of New York city, accruing from the four per ceas interest paid by the bank to Mr, Brewer upon this des posit, amounting to $17,009. renders a ae of bi alleged deficiencies the sum above mentio! 01 $30, The foliowing is an unofficial schedule of the items ing up the ea’ defci Tax 1864, Total of taxes.
