One of them presented him with a badge of membership and another with a photograph of the members in a group.

A novel race, in which the pedestrian Griffin at- tempted to run five miles while the trotting horse Cap- tain McGowan trotted ten, took place at the Mystic Park, Boston, yesterday.

There were thirty-one interments from yellow fever in New Orleans yesterday, nine in Memphis and four in Mobile. A despatch from St. Louis states that the report that two companies of Montana militia had turned robbers is denieu, Ovening of the The Republic: tate. The republicans opened the State campaign on Wednesday night by s grand ratification meeting at the Cooper Institute. The evening was fine, the occasion was somewhat interest- ing to radicals and conservatives perplexed with the significant results of the late elections, the music and the fireworks were attractive, the place was convenient, and so a consider- able créwd was drawn together. inside and outside the building, to witness the proceed- ings. There was nothing in them, however, very remarkable, except upon one very im- portant matter, to which we shall presently allude. Mr. Spencer, chairman of the Republican General Committee of the city, opened the ball, and to this effect, that “ the negroes’ rights will be maintained : that the policy of reconstruction of the radical Congress shall be maintained, and the political treachery of Andrew Johnson unqualifiedly and indignantly condemned;” and that “all these findings it is the stern de- termination of the radical republicans of New York shall this powerful State in November make.” Senator Morgan next, having been appointed to preside, vindicated the policy of Congress and urged upon his party the neces- sity of fighting their batiles through in a care- fully weighed but rather heavy speech. Next, a letter abounding in adjectives was received from Governor Fenton, and read, with letters of apology from numerous other parties, in- cluding the great Miltonian radical orator of our rural districts, Senator Conkling; the un- fortunate “ Old Ben Wade,” of Ohio, and the redoubtable Parson Brownlow, of Tennessee. Then the venerable Horace Greeley brought in the ratification resolutions, which included thanks for the extinction of slavery, thanks to Congress, « lick at Andrew Johnson, thanks to Generals Grant, Sickles, Sheridan, &c., a puff for the republican State jticket, and a hint that “a slecpy canvass and a light vote will not answer” for the State of New York, alter what has happened elsewhere. Satisfled, ap- mm in New York— the Cooper Inati- | parently, with this achievement, Greeley sub- sided, and Mr. W. M. Evarts made long speech, in which all the ingenuity of a cun- ning lawyer was employed to cover up or dis- guise the great issues of the day in the history of the copperhead democracy., Senator Nye, of Nevada, then appeared fn his usual character of jester of the ring. As utual, too, he excited some laughter, though his jokes wore not particularly spar- kling on this occasion. But to this point the pulse of the house on the great leading idea of the day had not been touched. No name had been mentioned aq that of the standard- bearer of the republican masses in the great national battle of 1868. Grocley, Spencer, Evarts and others of the radical managers of | the meeting evidently intended to leave this | an open question, still dreaming, perhaps, of a possible chance for Chase. The marked feature of the ovening, there- fore, was the speech of General John Coch- adaptability for which he has long been dis- tinguished, declared in distinct) and emphatic terms in favor of Grant for the next Presi- dent of the United States, His ‘announcement that Chase, Wade, Butler and the rest were being “retired” .by their friends, and that Ulysses S. Grant was beginning to “ occupy all hearts and thoughts and tongues,” awoke the rat real burst of enthusiasm that bad been manifested during the entire evening, and re- deemed the meeting from the ¢haracter of a cold, tame, spiritless affair. . Attorney General Martindale, who followed Gegeral Cochrane, continued the excitement by alto declaring for Grant “as the leader of the future as well as the past;” and at the close of }is remarks the leaders hastily adjourned meeting, ap- parently not overpleased atithe turn which General Cochrane had given td its character. The closing incidents of this radical ratifica- tion meeting are significant of the irresistible force of the popular movempnt in tavor of Grant for the next Presidency, and illustrate tho unimportant character of the pending elec- tion, so far as the future position of the State is concerned. The people are about to vote simply upon the question of who shall fill a | few unimportant local offices, which, under the present construction of the State government, can exercise no influence upon its policy one way or the other. It is a matter of perfect in- difference whether these places swe bestowed upon half a dozen negro suprenacy, Sunday law radicals, or the same numberof rebel sym- pathizing copperheads. The fac stands forth plainly and distinctly that the popular move- ment in favor of General Grantwill next year sweep all the old party cliques and factions out of sight, whatever may be tl reault of the November scramble; and the rabid radical and fence politicians who on Wednesday even- ing twisted and turned and temporized and pettifogged at the Cooper Institue, if they are possessed of one grain of commen sense, may read the handwriting on the wall from the in- dications at their own grand hitial ratifica- tion of the republican State ticket. Important from Italy—French {ntervention in the Rom Diticaty. The cable despatches from Eurype yesterday bring highly important news, Frince has defi- nitely declared her intention to intervene im- mediately for the settlement of tbr Roman ques tion. This resolution was made at a council of Napoleon’s Cabinet held on the 16th inst., the Emperor presiding in perso. The Italian government is completely ignorai in this impor- tant step of Napoleon, and his beling towards his former prot¢gés unmistakwly expressed in the Moniteur, which, on the sme day that the council was held, contained} leading edi- torial reproaching the Italiahs f¢ violating the law of nations, disregarding the »bligations of the most solemn treaties, and fosering a dan- gerous spirit of republicanism in their midst. At the same time the Monitewr sttes that the Romans are loyal to the Pope, ajd only need assistance to drive the invader from their soil. The financial depression oi the Bourse and the decline of the rentes an significant results of the serious aspect of affats in France and Rome at present. In the meantime the Garibaldiais continue their operations with activity and success at the seat of war in the Papal territry. They have taken possession of the town of Nerola, near Rome, and have entrenched tiemselves, awaiting the arrival of reinforcmments to enable them to make a further advance and a final dash on the Eternal City. Their com- mander-in-chief is one of the deputies of the Italian Parliament, which may be inter- preted by the French government as a con- clusive fact that Victor Emanuel’s govern- ment is acting in concert with the invaders. The result of this new aspect of affairs is certain to lead to fresh complications, and may bring on a general European war. The progress of revolutionary ideas and the up- rising of the spirit of republicanism in Italy will alarm every cabinet in Europe, and per- haps lead to a conflict between the newly awakened people and thdr royal rulers. The success of the Garibaldins would be like a spark in a magazine and tend to enkindle the | flames of revolution in many parts of Europe. The solution of the Romar question will, there- fore, be anxiously looked tor, and in no coun- try more than in France. Tho Public schods. Nothing is more important than popular education ; for in those days of transition— when so many are inclined to doubt the real benefit and value of institutions founded on popular sovereiguty ; vhen all the legislation for this city practically denies the power of | the people to govern tremselves—all classes | of theorists and reasoners alike come to the determination that all the evils of our political | system result from the masses becoming the dupes of ambitious partisans, and all agree that the remedy for this isin universal and good education—education that will teach the Tho Consequences of Nogre Ascon@macr A — tm the Seah. We bogin to realize the evils in this coun- try which all other countries have experienced where the colored or inferior race bave acquired power. Ineurrections, conflicts be- tween the races, revolutions, and decline in material prosperity, ending in the destruction of constitutional government and the estab- lishment of despotism, are the inevitable ro- sults of placing the balance of political power in the bands of the ignorant masses of an in- ferior race. Universal equality ise fine thing in theory, and might be practicable if nature had made all the races of mankind equal. But ithas not done so, Physiology, history and allexperience show there is great difference in the intellectual and moral character of the races, and, consequently, in their capacity for self-government. Yet we are endeavoring to form an equality, against the laws of nature, be- tween the lowest and the highest types of man- kind—between the negro and the Caucasian races—between a people who have never shown themselves capable of government or even of emerging from barbarism unaided by a civilized people and the most civilized race. What monstrous folly! What an ab- surd experiment! What a dangerous policy ! History teaches by example, it is said, but not to the radicals of this couniry, nor to the radical revolutionists of any country. Fanatics are never taught. They have but one ides. Theory, with them, usurps the place of reason and ignores the lessons of experience. The information we are receiving from the South, and particularly from our Virginia corre- spondence, shows that the negroes are becom- ing, under the lead of unprincipled white demagogues, revolutionary and brutal. In Eastern Virginia there was, the other day, a serious émeute among the negroes to hold possession of the lands on which they had squatted. They armed themselves to resist the agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau and the rightful owners from taking posseesion of these lands. At another place, near Norfolk, the negro squatters refused to evacuate the property they took unlawful possession of. Some three hundred of them were armed for resistance, and one of them, in a speech to the government agents, said they did not carea fig whether the President had pardoned the owner of the estate or not; that the recon- struction acts of Congress did not recognize pardons by the President; that this property was theirs now, and that they were deter- mined to hold on to it in defiance of all oppo- sition. He said “the Indians were driven of these lands by the whites, and that they (the blacks) would now take them from the whites.” “We have suffered enough,” he exclaimed ; “now let the white man suffer. The days when the white man could say, ‘Come here, Jobn, and black my boots,’ are passed. The times have changed, and now the time will come when I can say to the white man, ‘Come here, John, and black my boots,’ and he will have to come.” Receiving frequent applause from his audicnce, he warmed up and declared that “he would never be satisfied until the white man be forced to serve the black man, that the whites must be driven away from the lands or must remain as servants, and that neither secesh nor Yankee should drive them (the negroes) off the land.” Such is only a specimen of the harangues and conversations of the negroes in this and other parts of the South. These ignorant and deluded people have been excited to the point | of resistance and insurrection by the teachings of radical emissaries in the South. Hunni- cutt, who ought to have been arrested for his incendiary language a few days ago, not only told them to arm, but went so far as to tell them to take the torch in their hands. The speech delivered by this revolutionary incen- diary at Richmond on last Monday night, to- gether with the speeches of other white and negro ofators, were full of the seme sort of mischief. Truly, these wretched demagogues are firing the negro heart, or, rather, the negro passions, for a terrible purpose. Negro supre- macy is determined on by the radicals, or, failing in that, the ruin of the South. In this the Southern radicals are aided and encouraged by the radical party of the North. They are re- solved to maintain their political power in the republic through the ignorant blacks, though the white people of the North may defeat them at the polls, Since the late elections they ayow their main reliance to be on this negro balance of power. Even the Times, the lesser organ of the radicals in this city, which pretends to be conservative, declares it as necessary now to secure this negro balance of power. Let insur- rection come, let a war of races take place, let the South perish, rather than lose political power and the spoils of the government, is the cry of this infamous party. St. Domingo, with all its horrors; Jamaica, with all its desolation; the South American republics, with their everlasting revolutious—all the re- sult of elevating an inferior race to hold the people to do their own thinking. Therefore | balance of political power—afford no instruc- the more schools we have, and the more in- | tion to our radical revolutionists.

Tho “old man eloquent” of Virgials, in an address at the opening meeting of the Horti- cultural Sooiety of that State, in Richmond, last Wednesday evening, presented quite a gloomy picture of tho situation. At the same time he indicated, as a happy issue out of the present distresses and difficulties which environ the Virginians, “an absolute change in agricul- ture—a change from the plantation to the farm- ing system.” This requires, he added, a new mode of culture, new laborers, new implements, new crops, more various, on @ smaller scale, more contracted and concentrated, exacting more skill, more care, and yielding the most profit on the smallest space. After expatiating on the favorable geographical position of Vir- ginis, her soil, climate and mineral resources, exGovernor Wise advised the landholders of the State to give every encouragement to their own white labor, and the young men of the State to apply themselves to the study of agriculture as a socience. He strongly recom- mends this as “far moro honorable than to skulk into professions by the back door and become pettifogging lawyers and quack doctors, who practise their arts to rob clients or kill patients, or to seek places in clerkships, or by drumming, or running, or standing and waiting at the beck and call of somebody else’s business, It is much moro respectable, and certainly more independent.” These are wise counsels, worthy the attention of young Americans in every State as woll as in Virginia. But we cannot accord such unqualified praise to the implied motive by which young Vir- ginians are urged “to adopt agriculture asa business.” Ex-Governor Wise says that “ Vir- ginians, if they would not be driven out from their own inheritance, should themselves do this work of farming for themselves, They must not call on Hercules, nor freedmen, nor German, nor Swede, nor immigrants from any clime.” In a certain this, too, is wise counsel, but it is, neverthel so worded as to suggest a suspicion that the ex-Governor would discourage immigration. Yet one of tho first of the manifold advantages of immigration from the North and from Europe would be that it could not fail to stimulate young Virginians to heed and follow the advice of ex-Governor Wise, and industriously apply themselves to agricultural pursuits. This he seems to recommend them to do chiefly to “gave the real estate of their fathers and keep sacred the altars of their own birthplaces and homes.” Honorable and praiseworthy as this motive may be, it is urged in such @ manner aa to bring to mind the bitter and jealous spirit which still prompts too many Southern men and women to wish to build a Chinese wall of exclusion against the entire outside world. It were a pity that this inhospitable spirit should receive the slightest encouragement from so influential a man as ex-Governor Wise. From his unquestioned devotion to his native State we should expect him to favor immigration as one of the surest and speediest means of re- storing the State of Virginia to the prosperity of its palmiest days. But we fear that, with all the solid good sense that underlies the most fanciful crotchets and the strangest preju- dices in the mind of ex-Governor Wise, he has by no means lost the erratic character by which he has been distinguished throughout bis long and active public life. The fatal obstinacy that prevented him from listening even to the advice of Fernando Wood and sparing the life of John Brown, of Ossawattomie (to the heroic elements in whose nature, by the by, he ren- dered the fullest justice), does not guarantee us, any more than bis military blunders during the war, in ascribing infallibility to Henry A. | Wise; and he will cortainly be guilty of a grave error if ho opposes immigration. The Final Grand Indian Pow-Wow. . “The Peace Commissioners have arrived.” ‘Five thousand Indians have assembled at Medicine Lodge creek, in Kansas.” Now for another grand pow-wow. The Cheyennes are there, with beggarly families at their heels. The Comanches and Apaches are on hand, with a goodly store of Mexican horsés, stolen from the Mexicans in their last foray over the border. They have all assembled in the glory of paint, rags, deerskin leggings, vermin- covered blankets and dirty bodies, never washed except by the rains of heaven. The poetic feeling for the red man will doubtless find fall play. The ceremonies should be opened by reading a chapter from Hiawatha. Then the preamble and resolutions of the late European Peace Congress should be read. This done, it is expected that the following speech will be delivered by the leading member of the Commfssion :—“ Brothers, your Great Grand- father is very angry with you. He is dis- with his red children on account of the depredations they have committed on the frontier. You did wrong to do these things, and you must expect no muskets, powder and, shot, blankets and beads, unless you do better. With a desire for your welfare, we propose to supply all your wants. Agents of fortified honesty will come among you to distribute the bounty of your Great Grandfather. The con- tractors, with honor lying deep in the interests of our red brothers, will make every effort to furnish the best supplies for yout use. Our railroads which run through your bunting grounds are absolutely necessary to our goneral welfare, You need havo no fears; we will take pacifico measures to satisfy you, Your Great Grandfather is anxious that you should be removed from your present hunting grounds to new reservations, where you will be permitted to enjoy yourselves and live happily upon the annuities furnished to you. No work will be required of you; but your generous white brothers will labor for your comfort and supply all your wants. These are the conditions that your Great Grandfather imposes, and it ouly remains for you to say if you will do him the honor to accept them.” It is supposed that at the close of this speech Spotted Tail, followed by Green Leg, Stick-Your-Nose-in-the-Ground, Painted Belly and White-Squaw-Soalpor, will step to the front.

A few days ago the Commissioners of the Fire Depariment adopted a resolution prohibit- ing the members of the Department from taking active part in political meetings and primary elections. This action was generally approved, and met the approbation of the press. It was felt that the firemen, whose duty calls upon them to protect the property and lives of all citizens, should be selected inde- pendently of any political considerations, and should not be auffered to take the cbaracter of @ partisan organization. But it is now stated that the Commissioners have authorized « blackmail assessment upon the Department to contribute towards the expenses of the radi- cal campaign in the State, and that sums of money, varying in amount from one hundred to five dollars, are demanded for that purpose from all tho employés, This is certainly any- thing but fair play to the firemen. If they are to be compelled to pay the political piper out of their hard-earned wages, they should at least be permitted to take a band in the dancing. CITY INTELLIGENCE.
