The Tunning of trains will be delayed several days, and four hundred meu are thrown out of employment. The total number of voters registered in New York city up to last evening ts 128,006, a cain of 5,864 over the number registered for the November elections last year.

Southern coastwise business is unusually dull for the seazon, vessels leaving with only half and two-tbird cargoes. The first cause on the calendar of the Court of General Sersion of the Peace to be holden to-morrow is that of the Park Bank nuisance.

Free- map, charged with having, in his capacity of internal revenue inspecior, extorted money and accepted a bribe, and whieh has occupiéd the court for the last four days, was, at three o'clock yesterdsy, given to the jury. That body had not agreed on a verdict up to a late hour and wore atill in deliberation. The stock market was extremely dull yesterday, Governments closed strong, Gold gold at 1413, a 140% a 140%. ‘There was but littie animation in commercial circles yesterday, the business being confined to the actual necessities of buyors, and almost all of the markets were depressed. Coffee was less active, but firm. Cotton was in better demand for export and ship- ping, but prices generally receded ic. per 1h On ‘Change the transactions in flour were dimmutive and prices were heavy, though not quotably lower, ‘Wheat opened firmer, holders de- manding an advance of 1¢, a 2c,, but closed tame, Corn was dull and nomiual, and oats were quiet and lower.

On the morning of the first day of election in Louisiana under the reconstruction laws we warned the radicals that the success of their policy in the South would be more than balanced by decisive defeats at the North. We told them that their shouts of exultation at the degradation of white men would be responded to by the Great West in such lan- guage as would unmistakably inform the world whether our recent war was fought for the preservation of the Union, or for the ag- grandizement of negroes and the enslavement of our own race. How well and fully these warnings and prophecies have been realized let the late elections tell. We had hoped that the rebuke of Ohio and Pennsylvania would have taught wisdom to the party in power, and have influenced its organs to cease insulting the intelligence of the whites in these loyal States by claiming victories in the South which were the necessary results of a most villanous fraud upon republican liberty, and that if the farce was to be contunued it would be allowed to do so in silence. ; It seems, however, that the republican party is utterly doomed, and that nothing can slay its approaching dissolution. The negro organ in this city, uoable to repress its joy at the suc- cess of the recent disgusting spectacle in Virginia, came out in a double-leaded editorial on yesterday morning, in which the degrada- tion of the Old Dominion was made the subjec’ of undisguised pleasure and satisfaction. Do the radical readers think that the masses of the republican party sympathize with them? Do they imagine how many of their old political associates exclaimed, when the result was an- nounced, “God help the Old Commonwealth !” Perhaps they do not, It may be necessary that the votes of the State of New York shall be counted, on the 5th of November next, before the fact of how positively they have played into the hands of their opponents becomes fully evident. But even as we warned them before, so do we warn them again. Vir ginia, rebellious and defiant, excited our anger and called forth punishment from us. But Virginia, loyal agd submissive, has our heart- jest sympathies, In no manner and form do the people of the North regard the recent eleo- tion in that State as a triumph of loyalty and a defeat of treason. They see in it only the degradation of a member of this Union, whoy from the establishment of our independence, has been endeared to us by « thousand glo- rious associations. The disgusting spectacle of negroes voting like so many mechanical beings; the keeping of polls open day after day and night atter night for the expressed purpose of ensuring @ radical success; the election to office of such men as Hunnicntt and his gang of negro constitution makers; the antagonism of the two races as developed in the solid manner in which they cast their votes, and the rude and defiant conduct of the blacks, excite our earnest fears and sym- pathies—fears, because from all these things we see another irrepressible conflict arising, and sympathies, because the defeated party is composed solely of men of our own race and of the intelligence and civilization of the State. What, then, must follow those radical exul- tations at Virginia’s degradetion? The ques- tion is easily answered. Obio and Pennsyl- vonia will be repeated on the 5th of November | next; the people will come to the resoue of the couviry. False to the avowed principles on which it trinmphed last fall, the republican | party has forfeited the confidence of the people | ani must be removed from power. The era of | fanatical doc and Otopian theorios coming to an end; aad perhaps it is wothing | tines is | but poetic justice that Virginia should give them the fast blow. Upon her soil was per- formed the tragedy whicn placed the republi- can party in power; and it looks very much as if the conclusion of the farce of this week will be followed by the dropping of the cur- tain upon all that remains of a once powerful organization. Austria and the Concordat. According to the Vienna correspondence of the London Morning Herald, even Transytvania, that ultima Thule of the Austrian monarchy, bas sent up a petition to the Reichsrath for set- ting aside the concordat. This concordat, or treaty, was made by the See of Rome with Austria in 1855, afler Hungary had been crushed and Francis Joseph had revoked the constitutional privileges which his uncle had been forced to concede. The provisions of the concordat are now felt to be onerous, even by the sluggish Austrian mind, which has been slowly awakening to a sense of its natural rights ever since the battle of Sadowa dated the period of transition through which Austria is now passing from “a despotism that aimed at supremacy over a vast variety of incongruous and alien provinces by the agency of a great army, a skilful bureaucracy, and, it must in fairness be added, of a kind of hazy benevo- lence,” to the experiment of constitutional gov- ernment. The Transylvanian petition against the concordat 1s characterized by a primitive simplicity in the dictiof mot generally to be found in such documents. In al- luding to. the imperfect state of the schools it says that “at the annual examinations the best children are able to give an account of how things looked in heaven; they know the names of the principal angels, the number of the saints, and they know something about hell and purgatory, and of the torments of the damned. But how things looked in their own land, what it produces, and what might be produced better and cheaper, what is exported and im- ported, &c., of all this they know nothing.” Thus, in Transylvania, as in other paris of the empire—and from all parts similar peti- tions have been presented to the Emperor— there isa growing popular demand for some- thing betier and more in conformity with tho actual political changes which are taking place than the old doctrine and practice prevalent whenever and wherever ecclesias- tical authority is supreme, and predicts anarchy, impiety, social and political ruin as the inevitable gonsequence of any attempt to subvert or weaken it. Of courae the latter view is taken by the majority of the clerical party, naturally jealous of innovation, and anxious to maintain the privileges conferred upon the hierarchy by the concordat. Twentg-» five archbishops and bishops have presented a petition to the Emperor in favor of the con- cordat, asserting that either the rights of the clergy must be upheld or the principles of revolution acknowledged. On the school question they say:—“It is not better instruction which is wanted. What is desired is to attack religion and morality. It is wished to make the school serve to propagate unbelief” Again they say :— “As to what this miserable scream- ing against the concordat betokens no one can any longer doubt. It means we will have mar- riage without solidity and holiness, and schools without religion and moral earnest- ness.” The bishops tell his Majesiy the Empe- ror that “they consider it impossible that a son of the exalted house whieh God has called to govern Austria shoald ever so far forget his mission and the example of bis encestors as to turn the rights wh we given him against the Church of Gea." Mappily, the Emperor in his reply showed that he had a clearer and livelier sense of the changed con- dition of things, and of his own responsibilities and duties in view of it, than his clerical ad- visers. He reminded them distinctly of the fact—which they had seemed to forget—ihat he is now “a constitutional prince as well as a true son of the Church.” The Reichsrath has shown that itis likewise in unison with the modern spirit of progress by appealing to the Pope to sanction such modifications of the concordat as shall harmonize with the response which it bas itself made to the popular demand for the repeal of the concordat. Now that such a demand has become almost universal in Austria, and especially now that railway enterprise is beginning to animate Hungary and bids fair to extend beyond its limits, it is not extravagant to hope that even Austria will at length lay aside every weight and run suc- cessfully the race that is set before her as well as before the other nations of modern Europe. ‘The Georgia Election. The Georgia initial reconstruction election, we presume, but for General Pope’s three days’ extension, would have failed to come up to the law of Congress, which requires s majority of the registered voters to vote in order to make the election good. The voters registered were 95,303 whites and 93,407 blacks, showing a white majority of 1,886, or say 2,000. From present appearances hardly more than four or five thousand whites have voted in the State, so that it will requiro nearly the whole of the registered blacks at the polls to make the voters in this election a pacers f of all the names registered. It is probable, however, that General Pope, in his extension of time, has brought ont a sufficient number of the registered blacks, as was done in Alabama and Louisiana, to meet the terms of the law; and the next thing, therefore, will bean order from the Commanding General calling the Convention together. As it will be all radical and considerably mixed with black, we may expect it to “play such fantastic tricks before high Heaven as will make the angels weep” and the Northern democracy rejoice. After the tragedy comes the farce, — All Quiet on the Potomac, The Washington newsmongers are at dead low water. The President is resting upon bis oars and flosting slong with the stream. Not a voice is heard of any impending changes in the Cabinet, and only three weeks to the meet- ing of Congress. It is understood that Mr, Johnson is waiting to hear from the New York election, and that, should it turn against the radicals, he will do something bold and decisive. We guess not. We suspect that he would like to do something bold and startling, butthat he is puzzled where to begin and where to stop, and is accordingly resting on his oars, So it was with the man who floated down into the rapids of Niagara before he was rouged to action, and then it was too late, Republican Leaders on Republican Policy. Wendell Phillips and Thad Stevens say that the republican party mast do more and go further in the great nigger propaganda, though it has already done so much and gone so far as fo thoroughly disgust the country. Phillips and Stevens infallibly indicate the direction in which the party is to move in the future. Feebler brethren halt and shuffle in party pur- pose, deny the nigger when they dare, and denounce Johnson; but these extreme leaders tell plain truth, and have the one virtue of scorning disguises, It was recently admitted by a republican organ that the Congressional laws to set the nigger above the white man were in defiance of the laws of God. It was admitted that the niggers were “made dominant and held in power by United States bayonets,” but the people wero urged to still support the republican party, because its leaders were awaking to the defects of their plan of recon- struction and would do what the couniry desired if they had another chance. Now we see how much better they would do if the other chance were given. We may view the sketch of future nigger laws in the late speech of Phillips on the dawdling Congress, and in the letter of Stevens to the former member of the German universities, Phillips fills one of his peculiar screeds of bad temper with abuse of Congress for its “ dawdling” policy on the nigger question, scolds his breath away at Congress because its infamous nigger su- premgcy laws were not ten times as bad as they have proved, and demands that in future legislation the politicians shall not sacrifice the nigger to “party necessities.’ Stevens prophetically looks forward to the establish- ment near us of a great nigger republic, and argues the constitution to fiddle strings to prove that the Declaration of Independence gives the nigger that political power that will enable the politicians to control the country by his vote. These are the indications of the radical future—the ideas that people may ex- pect to see framed in laws, unless the people of New York give one hundred and fifty thou- sand majority against the republican ticket on Tuesday next. The War Cloud in Europe. Intelligence received per the Atlantic cable yesterday, and printed in this day’s Herat, shows that our fears of a general European war are far feom groundless. It has for some days been manifest that the real character of this movement could not be fully understood until it was known what course Prussia in- tended to take. It is now undeniable that a good understanding exists between Prussia and Italy, and that Prussia means to stand firmly by the side of her former ally. In Lon- don yesterday it was reported that the Italian Prime Minister had charged the French gov- ernment with violating the September Conven- tion. In monetary circles great excitement prevailed in consequence of a dreaded rupture between France and Prussia. It would be strange if France and Italy should come into collision on the Pontifical territory, and if the crossing of the frontier by the troops of Victor Emanuel took place at the dictation of Bis- marck. We can well conceive how the, Prua- sian government could not give countenance to the irregular and lawless movement ot Gari- baldi. The capture of Rome by the regular troops of the King’s government could be open to no such objections. If even at this late hour the Italian government puts itself at the head of the national movement, and insists that Rome shall be the capital of the kingdom, not- withstanding the presence of French troops, and if the Prussian government backs-up Italy with armed aasistance, one of two things must hap- pen—either Napoleon will ingloriously back out of this Papal business or we shall have a European war. The Great West on the Currency Question— . Ben Butlor tn the Field. The Tribune evinces a great deal of svnsitive- ness and nervousness about the comments of the Henratp, and the position of Pendleton, Vallandigham and Henry Clay Dean in regard to the currency and the national debt. It as- sails these gentlemen very fiercely for their proposition to reduce the national taxation and to pay the national debt in the currency in which it was contracted ; but at the same time it has not the courage to say a word about Ben Butler, who is the head and front of the financial policy against which its wrath is ex- cited. The recent election in Ohio, it is said, was decided mainly upon this issue ; and the falling off of forty thousand in the republican majority, on & full vote of the State, is alleged to be principally due to the radical endorsement of the proposition to pay the interest and princi- pal of the United States bonds in greenbacks, and to sweep away the circulating notes of the national banks. If this be so, it is clearly demonstrated that Chase, who is the creator of the national banks and the advocate of a heavy national debt, payable in gold, as a national blessing, will stand no chance of success in the West as a candidate for the next Presidency. The financial issue is even more fatal to him there than the negro issue. But the radicals of the West will not go for Pendleton, Vallandig- ham, or any other recognized copperhead, how- ever entirely they may agree with such men on questions of finance. It is evident, therefore, thut the radical Ben Butler will be their can- didate against Chase for the Presidential nomi- nation. He is sound on all the issues of the war, and is with the party heart and soul in all their reconstruction policy. As the pioneer in the great financial revolution, which will take its first start, as it has its main strength, in the West, they will put him forward as their repre- sentative man, and will run him as their candi- date against Chase in the next republican national convention. In view of this fact it would be well forthe Tribune to turn its atten- tion to the radical Ben Butler, who is the real rock ahead in the Chase radical course, instead of wasting its time upon Pendleton, Vallan- digham and the rest of the Western copper- hoads. The Sandy Hook Pilots There is, perhaps, no class of men more indis- ble to the commerce of New York than the Sandy Hook pilots. The entrance to our harbor being both intricate and dangerous to those who are not fully acquainted with its various channels, no mariner can venture to bring in his vessel without the aidof one of these skilled pilots, who know every change and turn fn the harbor, and are a daring, hardy race of men. The whole pilot sys tem, which is admirably organized, is laid vefore our readers to-day, together with the names of the Commissioners, the pilots and the boats. It will be found of great interest to the mercantile claases especially. The Pirates in the Indian Seas. The United States steamer Maumee sailed last evening for China and Japan. She is » light draught screw steamer, carrying six guns, and is destined to pursue the piratical crafteup the small inlets and into the narrow bays which, on the East India coast, have heretofore afford- ed such excellent shelter for the Chinese and Malay pirates infesting thbse seas. The com- mander of the Maumee, Lieutenant Cushing, is well selected. His daring exploits during the rebellion, including the blowing up of the rebel ram Albemarle, indicate that the pirates may expect some hot work. It is but a short time since that we gave & very long and tedious report of the bombard- ing of the island of Formosa by the United States fleet in those waters, The natives were naturally delighted with the pyrotechnic dis- play, and imagined that the “outside bar- barians” were doing them much honor. The United States Treasury paid for the demonstra- tion, and the results were zero. The Secretary of the Navy has, however, arrived at the same conclusion that forced itself upon us when we commented upon the folly of such expeditions. The despatching of the Maumee indicates this. Lieutenant Cushing should, however, have a roving commission to do just as much wild work among the pirates as he can possibly at- tend to. He should be completely freed trom the trammels of the red tape which is wound all around the East Indian squadron, and which composes more than half of its rigging. A free commission for the Maumce, and we warrant a warm season for the pirates and more security for our East India trade which is now taking such immense proportions, Something Good Out of Nazareth. Senator Patterson, of New Hampshire, is accounted a radicdl republican; but be seems to be one who is not to be carried away by all the fanatical notions of Sumner, Stevens, Phillips and Greeley. Senator Patterson, on the question of suffrage, in the course of a late speech at Boston, said, “That the obstinacy of the rebels forced us to give the ballot to the negroes, as the only alternative to keeping a standing army in every Southern town. But, while a strong advocate of impartial *suffrage, he said he did not favor manhood suffrage except through manhood education. It might do in New England, but it would not do for California, with her ninety thousand China- men. He would not have suffrage exercised by Indians or Aztecs, and he believed that the man who is to help govern a nation needs in- telligence in order to properly discharge the duties vested in his suffrage.” Mr. Patterson thought the subject could be very wisely left to the several States,and we think so too. Light is beginning to break into the republican camp. Who speaks next? Marriage of the King of Greece. On Friday, November 1, George, King of Greece, was married at St. Petersburg to the Grand Duchess Olga, eldest daughter of the Grand Duke Constantine, brother of the Czar. It has long been customary to look at royal marriages from a diplomatic point of view only, and to take for granted that certain diplomatic consequences must, may or ought to follow. It is too often forgotten that in consequence of the limited list from which roya®brides and bridegrooms have to be selected, royal mar- riages are as much and as often the result of convenience or necessity as of calculating na- tional or dynastic policy. The peculiar con- dition of the East of Europe, and the known sympathy of Russia for the Greek kingdom, and especially for the members of the Greek Church, do invest this marriage with a certain special interest. It can scarcely fail to bring the Courts of Athens and St. Petersburg into closer relations. In future complications inter- est will be found on the side of sympathy. Roman intrigue will find a useful ally in Greek ambition. The insurrectionary spirit among the Christian subjects of the Porte will be more warmly encouraged than ever. To say that this marriage bodes no good to Turkey would only be giving expression to a conclusion which many have already arrived at, and which cannot be said to be unnatural. Southern Representation—! ipey and Cesar im the Ascendant. Who is there but feels proud of the history of the country and of the array of intellect in its annals, when he runs over the names of the men. that in the past represented only the South in the councils of the nation—Jefferson, Madison, Randolph, Lowndes, Pinckney, Hayne, Calhoun? One might ran the list to. noble length, and mention only men who had earned worldwide fame and were worthy of it. But if one indulges these remembrances he is likely to be called « Rip Van Winkle, it is such an age of progress, and we have so changed all that What are the glorious names that are likely to be associated with Southern representation in the future? Quashy, Cuffee and Sambo! Elleck Johnson, Pompey Smith, Cesar Jones and Cicerocs, with every’ possible addition, are to be the future Senators, “speakers and eloquent orators from States whose annals are splendid with the names of the founders of freedom. No wonder the republican party vaunts its achievements, when it can show results as great as this! Petty Taxes. While the aggregate taxation upon the people is everywhere recognized as a griev- ance, and, in these times of peace, an unneces- sary grievance—a great evil, in fact, which would not be endured in any other country of | the world—the mode of levying petty taxes is irritating and offensive to a degree that is be- ginning to be felt by all classes, and which will certainly lead to the utter rout of the party to which the country is indebted for the expensive nuisance. There is not a thing, from 8 lucifer match to a diamond necklace, that we have not to paya tax upon, and for what? Not for the support of the government, surely, for we ought to havea cheap government, if it was properly administered, and we would have economy and honesty in high places and @ moderate internal revenue law, if there were honest men in office. Upon a close computation every man, woman and child in the country is now taxed at the rate of forty dollars cach per annum, which weighs oppressively upon heads of families where the product of one man’s labor has to bear the whole burden, These taxes are paid Ho thousand pmall and yexatious wavs that come home to every household. In ~ alll are the most heavily and unjustly taxed people in the world. Now, what is the remedy for all this? Clearly, it is to put out of power the party that bas laid this infliction upon us; to get rid.of the faction that has kept our ex- penses up to.a war standard during more thar two years, since peace was consummated at Appomattox Court House, in April, 1865. That is the only method whereby to get rid of the evils of petty taxes, national banks and inordinate levies upon the industry of the people, INTERNAL REVENUE MATTERS. Some excitement was created yesterday owing to the fact that the proposed change in the Cabinet would have its effect upon the Revenue Bureau. If the indices of yesterday are to be believed, Commissioner Rollins will be dismissed ; and of course all those who hold positions by favor of the Commissioner are naturally excited. But very few seizures were reported yesterday. Eleven cases of tobacco were found at No, 65 Water street, and seized for alleged non-payment of tax, Two illicit stilis were seized at Jamaica South, on the farm of one A.
