Tho returns of yestorday’s election, received up to the hour of publication this morning, are sufficient to show that the State has been carried by the democrats by a majority pro- bably larger than that obtained by Governor Fenton one year ago. The radicals who con- nominating convention their councils the con- their party and to go | before the people on the issues of negro | Supremacy and a national bank oligarchy ; and the people of New York, like those of Cali- fornia, Ohio and Pennsylvania, have repudi- ated them and rendered an emphatic verdict against their violent, revolutionary policy. In this city, the great commercia! centre of the Union, the majority against radicalism amounis to over sixty-one thousand, slthough the radical press and politicians exerted their u‘most-energies to avert such a result, New York, with her large financial interests, de- | clares against the party of debt and taxation | and rebukes the attempt to place the Southern Siates of the Union under the heel of African barbarism. The false cry of fraudulent regis- tration, the free use of money, the presence and influence of the Governor of the State, and | the efforts of all the political commissions iorced upon the city by republican legislation, were powerless to prevent this Waterloo defeat. A ‘vote of about twenty-five thousand, in a poll of one hundred and | twelve thousand, is all that the national banks, the State administration and the political com missions, including the Police and Fire Depart- ments, can muster for the radical negro su- premacy faction in the great metropolis of | New York. With these figures before the people it will be useless for the radical organs to raise the cry of illegal voting, rum influ- | ence, apathy, or anything else, to account for their terrible overthrow. The fact is now es- | tablished beyond controversy that the citizens | of the loyal States, and especially of the city | of New York, repudiate the financial and re- consiruction policy of Congress, and demand a change. The decision of New York State in this year’s contest has been looked for with anxiety aH over the Union, It has been generally admitted that her vote would de- | cide the complexion of the next Presidential | campaign ; and the loss of the State by the 8 will be more effectual than the nd radical falling off in Ohio, in | Hnally disposing of Mr. Chase and bis national | bank and negro supremacy platform. Ever sinee the war, with’ the exception of the elec- i trolled the republican | chose to exclude from | servative element of tion of Horatio Seymour under the temporary reaction of 1862, the State of New York has voted steadily on the side of the republican | party, and ber verdict now is against the revolutionary policy of the radical Congress, rather than an endorsement of the democracy. It is a triumph of the con- servative sentiment of the country which last year endorsed the constitutional amendment a3 a final settlement of the question of recon- struction, and now rebukes and repudiatos those who, disregarding the popular voice, re- opened the agitation for the purpose of forcing negro rule upon the South and securing a negro balance of power in the national govern- ment, It is @ final and cmphatle declaration that the people will not suffer the government of the United States to pass into the hands of tho violent men whose principles are em- bodied in the policy of the prosent Congress, and that the republican party must discard such leaders if it hopes to retain tho powor it HERALD, W EDNESDAY, The Election in New Jersey. One of the most significant signs of tho elec- tions yesterday was the result in New Jersey. Tt will be seen that the democrats have se- cured a majority on joint ballot in the Legis- lature against a republican majority of eleven last year. In this State there were no side issues like tho Excise law; but the plain ques- tion, “For or against negro suffrage?” was bluntly put to the people, and we have sven the result. The quesiion has been answered as positively in the negative as it waa in October by ths people of Ohio. i The Result in Massachusetts. Massachusetis adds her voice to the general chorus of States in singing the downfall of radicalism. The republicans claim a majovity of about twenty thousand for their candidate tor Governor—a falling off in his last year’s vote of forty-five thousand. Governor Bul- lock is as popular now, personally, as he was in 1865, when he carried the State by forty-nine thousand, or in 1866, when his majority was over sixty-five thousand. But the splendid majorities of the last six years are destroyed by the folly and recklessness of radicalism, and by the fanati- cism which marks republican rule. The Logis- -lature is reported to be anti-prohibition. Garibaldi and Rome. A second time Garibaldi has attempte! to give Rome to Ialy. A second time he has failed. It is hard to kick against the pricks. A defeated cause, however, may be noble ; and it is safo to say that whatever men may think of Garibaldi himself, nine-tenths of the intelligenca and com- mon sense of mankind have decided in favor of the cause which, worthily or unworthily, he represents. The cause of united Italy has again suffered defeat; but defeat has resulted, not from the weakness of the cause itself, but from insufficient strength, It is the old, old story—might has prevailed against right. It is difficult to foraseq what new hase the question is about to present. If it prove true that Napoleon, as our despatches inform us, has delivered his ultimatum to the Italian government, requiring the soldiers of the King to evacuate the Papal territory before Thursday at noon, the Italian government will find itself in most awkward circumstances. It will be a mos! bitter pili for Victor Emanuel to swallow. Swallow it, however, he must or fight. These are the alternatives on which the immediate future of this question depends, To yield to Napoleon would disgust the Ltslian people; it might evon ruin the dynasty. Not to yield will bring down upon Italy the weight and strength of France; and whatever be the ultimate result, or who- ever may tak» part in the struggle, the immediate consequences will be disastrous to the kingdom. Alone, she is not @ match for France; and even if, with foveign help, she were successful in the long run in expelling tie invader, it could not be until her towns and cilies were demolisted, her plains deluged with blood, her population wasied and the progress of the country thrown backward for some generations. There are other questions lying behind these alternatives, but we care not at present to enter upon them. It is quite possible that Napoleon may be holding somo proposal in reserve, compliance with which would render the position of Italy less difficult, To the September Convention, which has been a curse from the first, all this misery is to be traced. We are willing to believe that its days are numbered, and it will bo best for all par- ties if no such unholy compact is again entered into. The Case of Jef Davis. We are assured from Washinglon that the case of Davis is to be once more deterred, and will not be called till May next; that the No- vember term of the court before’ which he gave bail will be permitted to go by, in order that ho may come before Chief Justice Chaw next year, and in order that another indictment may bo framed—and so on. Fifty reasons could be given, no doubt, each more ridiculous than the other, and all tending to confirm the prover- bial notion.of the law’s delay. It is to be hoped that Congress will end all this pitiful trifling by declaring the national will on tho case of this distinguished offender, and recognizing that it is not a case for the | courts. Nothing is clearer than that disputes between separate nationalities, as well as all questions arising out of the collision of armed poweis, must be determined in accordance with those rules of natural right that we call the law of nations. And since events them- selves pushod us from the position of regard- ing the late war as an insurrection; since the Confederate States were belligerents, recog- nized by foreign powers and by ourselves; since they had so distinctly a separate national life that in our reconstruction we treat them as conquered country—therefore, questions aris- ing out of the collision of such a power with our own must necessarily be considered as in the sphere of the law that regulates the rola- tion of sovereign and independent States. To treat the case of the head of a government with which we waged four years’ war as a case to be svitled in our domestic courts is to stultify ourselves beyond all ex imple. The only pieiext on which the court would pretend to try the case of Davis is to find and fix the laws of treason; but the dimensions of bis acts went so tar beyond that that we broadly recognized they, were of another character by armivs and ambassadors. As for the fact of his aitempt,to subvert our govern- ment, we do not need tho finding of any twelve nobodies in Richmond to tell us of that. Genoral Grant and his army were the jurors who found the facts of the case, and it is only lett for Congress—tho treaty-making power— the power having cognizance of war and all tho relations arising under it—to determins what shall be done with our enemy, now that he is in our hands, For Congross to do this would bo in accord- ance with the precedents of history—in aocord- ance with natural law and common sense, Let Congress, therefore, declare the will of the nation, which, doubtless, would be that the culprit should be sent out of the country; to stay out for some fixed period—as five, ten, or, for that matter, fifty years. Such a decision would be satisfactory to the country; and Congressmen would be better employed ia making it than in turning somersaulis over the constitution, so that, like Thad Stevens, they cannot tell from day to day whether they are inside or outside that remarkable inatrament, es The Great Mogul of the Natiounl Banks. Mr. Jay Cooke has earned the above title from the position he occupies as s banker under the national bank from the colossal fortune he has made out of it, and because he has become the chief defender of the system. He owes whatever fame he has, as well as his fortune, to Mr. Chase’s pet institutions and the war from which they sprang; and his attain- ment of this position shows how little ability was noeded to be successful during the period of his elevation in the financial world. Though he is by common consent the Great Mogul among national bankers, and their leader, he bas not the ability of Nick Biddle, the head and defender of the old United States Bank. Still, he takes upon him- self a similar réle, and, like Biddle, issues -his manifestoes, assumes to instruct the sovereign people and the rest of mankind upon national finances and talks as au‘horitatively to states- men and Congress. As there may be some curiosity-to know who tais new man of a new order of things is, this man who suddenly blazes forth like a meteor among the solid, fixed stars of our political fir- mament, we are happy to say we have been furnished with the information by some ad- mirer too modest to give his name. In this communication we have the important infor- mation that Mr. Jay Cooke was born in San- dusky, Ohio, 1822, The day and hour are not given. He was, “a self-reliant and energetic boy,” and he commenced his business life at the age of thirteen in a mercantile house. The first three years he was employed in Sandusky and St. Louis; then, at seventeen years of age, he entered the banking house of E. W. Clark & Co., Philadelphia. At twentyeone he became a partner in the house, and shortly the manag- ing partner. In 1860 he established the bank- ing house of Jay Cooke & Co., Philadelphia. After the war broke out, in 1861, he was em- ployed to negotiate the first seven-thirty loan. This, through Mr. Chase, gave him that lucra- tive connection with the government finances which in three or four years made him a mil- lionnaire of the first rank. Jay Cooke soon es- tabl'shed a hou-e in Washington, 22 "dition to iou-e in Washington, .. - the one in Philadelphia, after he became the financial agent of the government. After the war closed he opened a house also in New York. His rise has been as surprising as that of Mr. McCulloch, and both from the same starting point and through the same agency. Both were small country bankera or tankers’ clerks in the West, both were tha friends and instruments of Mr. Chase, both were elevated by him, and both havo shown their gratitude by faithfully supporting his financial policy and pet national bank system. They owe a great deal to Mr. Chase and litie to their own abilities, In any oth-r period of the history of our country the sudden elevation of such a man by such means to an immense fortune and financial power would have been impossible. There were giants in those days; but in these wo havo pigmies, and the pigmies rule the land. Mr. Jay Cooke, in all probability, will be the champion of that vast combination of national banks and bondholders which begins to set itself up above popular sentiment and which will soon assume to control the govern- ment itself, These national banks are prepar- ing to wage a more determined war for their privileges and aginst the people than the old United States Bank ever did, and Jay Cooke, though a much inferior man to Biddle, is des- tined, probably, to be the commander-in-chief, If he can bear the weight of his honors with- out being too much puffed up, without burst- ing with inflated importance, and should not write too many manifestoes, he may become very conspicuous, if not groat,in the ex- citing financial agitation that is about to com. mence in this country. However, he had better say nothing more about a national debt being a national blessing, but stick to his proper réle as defender of the national banks. American Prime ia Europe. Europe was very kind some time ago in sending us some choice specimens of prime donne. We are now returning the compliment by supplying the Continental market with a few superior articles in that line. Among them ! we may mention Mra. Jenny Van Zandt, who created quite a furor in Polish Russia, and | who is now en route for Milan, as the bright particular star of La Scala, the Patti sisters, of whom Adelina has been crowned quéen of the opera and Carlotta empress of concert, Louise Kellogg and Laura Harris, It appears from the cable telegrams that another American prima donna, Miss Kellogg, has achieved a success in London in-the réle of Marguerite in Faust, in which Patti, Nillson, Lucca and Titiens appeared last summer in the same city. When the details of her début reach us and confirm this news, i: will be gratifying to those interested in American art. There is a peou- liar quality about our climate tuat undoubtedly gives these ladies that unwonted freshnoss and brilliancy of voice that Paris, London and other operatic centres go into ecstacies about. We have a clearer, brighter atmosphere than even the shores of the Mediterranean are blessed with. It gilds woodland and meadow with more intense and marked coloring, tinges the cheek of beauty with moro brilliancy, and lights up the eye of blonde or brunette with more radiancy than ever did Italian, Grecian or Bosphorus skies, The voice of the prima donna here acquires a rich flavor and pure, bird-like quality, influenced, probably, by this climate. Our contraiti have a sympatietic tone of voice that is seldom hoard on the other side of the Atlantic. It is a cheering indication of the progress made in tie divine art io this country to see so many American songstresses preside at the first opera houses in Europe and receive the proud title of La Diva in Paris and Milan. The full, rich voice of Mra, Van Zandt .ond the nightingale tones of Adelina Paiti are exclusively American and have their models here whenever an Buropean impres- sario takes the trouble to find them out in this city. Making a Haul. Rev. Newman Hall, an English preacher, is hero collecting money to build a church in London. Thero is plenty of money in London to build churches for as many people as desire to go to them, and those who prefer it can go and hear preaching at the theatres. It would be quite as polite and just as reasonable for us to ask the Rev. New- man Hall to go back to London'and collect money for ns to build churches in New York aa for tho Rev. Newman Hall to ask us to give him money to take out of the country with him to build churches in London, NOVEMBER 6, 1867.—TRIPLE Mexican Affaire. 2 Our dates trom Monterey are to Octobor 12. The clection returns in Northern Mexico show @ very large majority for Juarez, and even his proposed liberal amendments to the constitu- tion are very generally supported. We give a more detailed account of the terrible hurricane which levelled Matamoros with the ground. The storm raged for three ‘hours from the northward, and, after a lull of half an hour, blew with equal fury from the south. The city must have been very near the focus of the tornado, as must have been Brownsville, on the east side of the Rio Grande, which suffered almost equally, Succors were being hurried from the interior of Mexico to the relief of the sufferers as rapidly as possible. Our correspondent details a very interesting interview which he had with General Escobe- do. Although we have not much faith in whatever comes from such a Jesuitical nature as Escobodo possesses, still, we know that the opinions which he enunciates are those of Mexico, of which, in his reported conversation, he was but the mouthpiece. With reference to the party lately overthrown Escobedo says :— The rotrograde party, always conquered, morally and hysicaliy, by the great livoral party, numbied by pub- tc sentiment, which abhors it, has no other resource left to gratify ite vile vengeance than (to misrepresent abroad what passes here, Its worthy only of contempt. In reference to religion tho policy of the republic is simply this—to tolerate all; not to protect any one especially, and @ complete separation betwoen Church and State, This has been really the key-note of the whole Mexican struzgle, and now that the separation of Church and State is effected we have hopes that attention will be turned to peaceful pursuits. This, however, requires the most thorough protection of whatever capital may be invested in that country. Foreign capital has, with very rare instances, always been perfectly safe, even amid Mexican revo- lutions, but the native capital has been very heavily drawn upon by fcrced loans, which were in many cases almost ruinous. The res‘oration of confidence in commercial enter- prises, then, becomes one of the first problems for the Mexicans, Speaking of this in connec- tion with the financial question, Escobedo nase Pt eee. ae exceptional ciréumstances in which, unfor- he country has been involved have nderstand that tiie system of forced loans will no lénger avnoy tho mercantile community or land- holders. Theso measures, so aunoying even to bim who was compelled to dictate them, were necessary, considering fhe object to be attained, which was no other than the egalvation of Moxican independence, They are so no longer; for, the republic being re- stored to tranquillity, exporionce has showa us that the government has been able to meet th very large disbursements to establisl istration in all its branches, supporting two armics, the conquering and the conquered, making the neces- Sary expenditures for the support of those incarcerated in prison, and at the same time sustaining the army actually on foot, without having. been obliged to resort to violent measures, For this reason 1 ain convinced that the finances of the country can be organized on a firm and prozperous basis, This is one of tho principal points which should, aud doubtless will, occupy the at- tention of the Congress eoon to assemble, And again, referring to the question of the expulsion of foreigners, he said :— The reports in reference thereto are ane the vile calumniesagainst Mexico set in circulation by the mal- contenis. LIsay to you Wye d T have had occasion to ‘be in all the well informed circles of the republic, and I bave never heard this advocated or suggested, The people, too, entertain no such lasues. The best proof of this that can be given is the tranquillity which foreigners enjoy and the guarantees which they all have, without distinction of nationality. There are now among us innu- merabie individuals who, after making war upon us, are now peacefully engaged in those branches of industry to which they dosired to dedicate themselvos. Much of the discontent against foreigners which has been reported has arisen from the complaints made by native merchants that foreigners were exempt from those burdens which were so heavily foreed upon the couniry by revolution. It gave foreigners certain ad- vantages which made it very hard for the na- tive Mexicans to compete with them in trade and different enterprises. We can but feel assured that our neighbor has a brilliant future of peace and prosperity before her. Thus far she has astonished those who have predicted the opening of a new war immediately upon the close of that of the French intervention. We again reiterate that there is no great principle in the foreground ot Mexican politics which can force two armies into the field. The country is almost uoani- mous in support of the principles which are embodied in the constitution of 1857, and how willing the people are to listen, without mur tur, to any new reform, is shown by the elec- tion returns which we have noticed in the opening of this article. : In view of the peaceable condition of our sister republic, we should immediately take advan- tage of the position we occupy toward her relative to our support of her government in its struggle against monarchism, and make a liberal commercial treaty. This will give us an opportunity to reap the splendid advant- ages which present thomselves in the reopening oi her commerce with the world. tunately, away, Lu he public admin- Impeachment, It is givon out from Washington that on the day of the reassembling of Congress (21st in- stant) the Judiciary Committee will report on impeachment. A majority report against the experiment, and a minority report in favor of it. The committee consists of seven republi- cans and two democratic members, four of the republicans being for impeachment; so that the majority report will be from a minority of the dominant party represented in the committee. What the vote of the House, therefore, will be, on these reports is not so certain. It seems that President Johnson still has bis apprehen- sions that impoachment is to be pushed for- ward ; but we dare say that the impeachment branch of tho committee and. of the House will have to be content with their impeach- ment report as an electioneering document, for what it will fetch in the market. Very Absurd. It is reported from Washington that the President has been calling the attention of General Grant to certain unauthorized black militia organizations in the District of Columbia, and that Mr. Johnson has his fears that these military darkies have some design upon him in the event of his refusal to abdi- cate, should Congress vote to suspend’ him. This is as absurd as Forney’s twaddle that the new Maryland white militia organization is designed for the expulsion of Congress. The Outside Southern States to Be Hare ried Up. From all the signs of the times in the North the radicals will need the support of the ten outside Southern States in the Prosi- dential election, aud it is altogether probable, therefore, that under the present system of reconstruction they will be hurried through the mill and reinstated in Congress in season to vote for President next November. The late Southern elections make this the safe policy, itis thought, for the radicals, and they begin to perceive that further delays may be dangeroug, ‘ ation, making - on Saturday evening last a farewell dinner was given to Charles Dickens at the Freemasons’ Tavern, in London, in anticipation of bis ay- proaching doparture for the United The great novelist, Bulwer, now Lord Lytton, presided at the table, and many of the literary friends of Dickens, Bohe- mians of higher and of lesser degree, were present. The compliments which were @x- changed at the dinner must have reminded Dickens of the ovations which he received nearly a quarter of s century ago, when he made his first visit to America. Almost every- body went crazy over bim when he arrived im this country. But of all who were thus de- mented at that time, and who recovered their senses only after his return to England and the publication of his “American Notes for General Circulation,” and then wondered why in the world they had gone crazy over him, scarcely any now survive except Prosper M. Wetmore, William Niblo, ourself, and a very fow other representatives of a former generation. Almost everybody else is now sleeping in Greenwood or in some other green place. On his second visit to America Mr. Dickens will find here a new generation. This time, more- over, he will have to share the honors of hig reception with anew candidate for the favor- able suffrages of the American public, the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton. Theresa Yelverton and Charles Dickens, male aud female as created in the Garden of Eden, repair together to the Eden of America. Both, we hope, will be as successful here as they expect to be. The dinner at the Freemasons’ Tavern fa London shows who are the endorsers of Charles Dickens, It itbe asked who are the endorsers of Theresa Yelverton we may reply, the general public and the high courts of justice in Great Britain, Judges and juries and the public at large not only endorsed but wept over her case. Even the House of Lords, with all its frigidity, could not help melting into tears over it, An extraordinary instance of an actor and an artist in real life, Theresa Yelverton calls to mind the fascinations of Sappho, of Hypatia, *Ueloise, She has signified her willing- and o1 B ness to read the cel rated letters of Heloise, although she is somewhat delics.* Sout reads, 2 ing her own, which are no less remai~@ble,” and which curiously illustrate a striking dif- ference between her and her rival lecturer, Mr. Dickens. While the latter has been revelling amidst ou'-of-the-way scenes of low life in England, the former has soared to the empyream and floated in the most spiritual and ethereal atmosphere of fancy and love. Witness the extracts, which we publish elsewhere, from hor letters, These two rivals, Dickens, a sort of Aristo- phanes of modern society, and Theresa Yelver=- ton, the antetype of the impassioned Sappho, will traverse the whole country, and cannot tail to excite great attention and enthusiasm. We trust, however, that the present generation of Americans will not go so crazily wild over them as to insist on taking their horses out of their carriages and making fools of themselves generally. Let us be content with buying their tickets, even if sold at three dollara apiece, and giving them a full house at each and all of their readings. The novelty of the entertainment which they offer will doubtless secure for both Charles Dickens and Theresa Yelverton a hearty reception and a popularity that will astonish the English, who will wonderingly ask, “What will the Yankees do next?” Bread Riots in England. A despatch which we print in to-day’s Heratp shows that in some parts of Great Britain very considerable distress prevails, At Exeter serious riots had taken place, Bakers’ and butchers’ stores were gutted and the premises of some corn dealers were destroyed by fire. The militia had been called out, and troops had been sent on from Piymouth. It is manifest that matters are not altogether right in the Old World. Hungry people will fight for bread. Good and regular wages are better than reform bills; but wages depend on trade, and trade is not encouraged by the continued ©. terror of a European war. If this war panic ~ do not soon subside Napoleon’ will bring dowa upon his head the execrations of Europe, AMUSEMENTS. French Theatre.
