In the rapid progress of events in this ago of steam, electricity, general intelligence and an independent public press, most of the poli- tical questions of the time assume new phases from day to day, and while old issues are con- stantly disappearing new issues are constantly coming to the surface. For instance, from the agitation of the money quostion by the lead- ing politicians and party journals on both sides, it was only the other day apparent that this important issue of the reconstruction of our national financial system would swallow up, like Aaron’s rod, all other issues before the country in our coming Presidential contest. Since the meeting of Congress, however, wo perceive, from the diversity of opinions and theories among the leading minds of the re- publican party and the democratic party, among radicals and conservatives, that no definite programme on our national finances can be expected from either party as a Presi- dential platform. In all probability, there- fore, we shall not have any broadly defined lines of party demarcation on the money ques- tion in this approaching Presidential cam- paign. ; But there is another question which looms so boldly and broadly in the foreground, and which has assumed a shape so definito and substantial, and so urgent and alarming, that it cannot be changed, evaded or post- poned. We allude to the negro question—the question of nogro supremacy or negro subordi- nation, Tha old Southern slaveholding oli- garchy, in its pride and iosolence, fora long time controlled the government in all its de- partments; but, falling at last to control it, undertook the experiment of a separate slave- holding confederacy by force of arms. This rash experiment resulted in the oxtinction of this Southern oligarcly, with tho. institution upon which it rested. now, in its place, we ag gy a pth a of ite four mil- lions of liberated African slaves as a new Southern balance of power in our national politics on the basis of universal suffrage. This is the sum and gubstance of the recon- struction policy of this radical Congress now in full operation in the ten unrecognized rebel States. The experiment has been developed sufficiently to produce already a popular re- action in the North, so powerful, indeed, as to suggest the necossity to the radical party of burrying up their work of Southern reconstruction on this basis of the negro yote, outside rebel States may be restored in season to turn the scale of the coming Prosidential election against an apprebended anti-radical majority from the electoral colleges of the North. We expect to see this purpose carried out, and when carried out we expect a Northern reac- tion hardly less decisive than that which fore- shadowed the speedy annihilation of the demo- cratic white oligarchy of the South in the first election of Abraham Lincoln to the White House. There is something 90 ropulsivo to the Ameri- Io the | quake st St. Yhomas, Thirty persons on the island | In the Virginia Convention yesterday vory little | wereappointed. A resolution of inquiry into the bost | majority of fifty thousand against negro suffrage in Obie, for example, will be maintatned against this experiment of a Southern balance of power in Congress and our Presidential elections, New York and throughout the North, except- ing, perhaps, only Vermont and Massachusetts. Tt was supposed at the time that the suspen- sion of Stanton and the removal of Sheridan and Sickles—three of the leading figures of the war—would operate to strengthen end solidify the republican party in our then impending fall elections. But the results have shown that the eyes of the people have been drawn for the time being from our heroes and the achievements of the war to the unauthorized and unexpected reconstraction schemes of a radical Congress and their dangerous tenden- cies. In view of these facts, and of the election | of 1852, when General Scott was overwhelm- ingly defeated by an obscure New Hampshire | politician, on the bare suspicion that the lead- ing men of the whig party were not safe on the great Compromise measures of 1850, it may well be doubted whether General Grant him- self can be elected if placed on this obnoxious platform of Sonthern negro supremacy, main- tained by a coercive military despotism. We anticipate, then, from the present complexion and shaping of things, a political revolution in 1868 against this substituted negro oligarchy of the South quite as remarkable and effective as that of 1360, which decreed the extinction of the old negro slaveholding white oligarchy. | Geoeral Grant a the War Dopariment. The radical Congressmen at Washington, according to the statement of their, organ in this city, are extremely anxious to get General Grant out of the War Department, and are busily employed in bunting up all manner of laws which they hope may have a tendency to cut short his term of office. One act paesed in 1863, providing that any head of a bureau ap- pointed by the President in an emergency shall not serve for a longer period than six months, ia regarded as applicable to the acting Secretary of War. If this should be found inoperative in his case, then an act of 1867, providing that no detail shall be made by the President, as Commander-in-Chief, that shall extend beyond the space of six months, is re- lied upon as terminating General Grant’s term | of office in the War Department in February | next. In the meantime, while the radicals are diaplaying all their restlessness, jealousy and annoyance, theearmy estimates are cut down under Grant’s admirable administration nearly sixtcon million dollars, This amount is saved to the country ina single year by the acting Secretary’s system of retrenchment, while the efficiency of the army is increased instead of diminished. The fact is, Genoral Grant has long been satisfied that the offices of General of the Army and Secretary of War should be united in one person. When he commenced his work of army retrenchment, immediately after Lee's surrender, he found himself suddenly checked by the authority of Stanton, backed by the approval of President Lincoln. It had been the desire of Grant to put the army, without any loss of timo, as nearly upon a peace foot- ing as the then condition of the country would warrant. To this end be proceeded rapidly with the work of mustering out the volunteer regi- ments, cutting down and disposing of army supplies, and getting rid of a host of volunteer officers who had no commands and whose only duty consisted of drawing their pay. Quarter- masters, commissaries and. other epauletted idlers felt the effect of bis pruning knife. But 8 political pressure was brought to bear upon Stanton and Lincoln, and the work of retrench- ment was stopped. As soon as Grant obtained possession of the War Department it was re- sumed, and the result has been an immediate saving of nearly sixteen million dollars from Stanton’s estimates for a single year, and the curtailmont of expenditures in every direction in equal proportion. These practical results will satisfy the people that there is sound sense in Grant’s views in relation to the union of the two offices of General of the Army and Secretary of War. The former, as the head of the military of the United States, subject only to the Commander- in-Chief, should not have a political power ex- ercised over him to cripple his plans and interfere with his administration. The General is the proper adviser of the Prosident on all army matters, and should be a member of the Cabinet. Now that such an office has been created a Secretary of War is no longer necos- sary. General Grant’s course bas entirely dis posed of all partisan agitation 6ver Stanton’s removal, and the best thing Congress can do is to provide for the abolition of the office of Sec- retary of War, and turn over all the duties of the Depariment to the General of the Army. Our West Iodian News. Onur special telegram from Ha) ana, printed in yesterday’s Henao, giving » detailed ac- count of the violent convulsions of nature which have just been experienced in the West Tndies, must have boen read by many with in- tense interest, A more extraordinary budget of news has rarely been finshed across the telegraphic wires. The events of which St. Thomas and others of the West India islands have been the scenes find their parallel only in the terrific earthquake which took place in Lisbon in 1755, when 9 large portion of the city was destroyed, and when sixty thousand people perished; in the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and in the awfal fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admab and 7) im, the celebrated Cities of the Plain. ch fearful convulsions occur but at rare intervals in the world’s history, and are generally, when taken in connection with their accompaniments, of sufficient importance to mark the close of one and the commencement of another epoch. “Blood, fire and vapor of smoke,” the pre- dicted signs of changes in tho latier days, have all been witnessed in these West India @isasters. It is « singular cireumstance that these signs should have made themselves manifest at this peculiar juncture. St Thomas surely can have no serious objection to transfer its allegiance from Denmark to the United States. St. Thomas, perhaps, is rejoleed at the change. In eithor case, whether joyful or are more likely to to himeelf than benefit to the people in whose name he acts. The Latest News from Mexico. The special telegrams from Mexico which we published yesterday show that the voléanic fires of revolution have by no means been ex- tinguished in that unhappy country. The causes of internal discord and commotion which have been at work more or less actively for fifty years still exist to an alarming degree in Mexico. The most honest intentions on the part of President Juarez to reorganize the chaotic elements of political and social life must be thwarted and their fulfilment delayed by the fury of factions, by the bitter antipa- thies of mixed races, by sectional jealousiea, by despotic military regulations, by forced loans, by the lack of convenient means of com- munication, by the raids of mountain banditti (who, it would seem, might at any moment, by co-operation, replace Juarez himself with a dictator chosen from among themselves), and, finally, by the almost universal prevalence of ignorance and crime. With an empty treasury and an impoverished people Juarez cannot hope to carry out more successfully in his second | than in his first Presidential term the reforms which he promised to attempt. One ugly symptom of the general disorder in Mexico is the fact that only half of the deputies elect to the Mexican Congress were present when the first quorum assembled on the 20th ult, Seve- ral deputies are in prison, and many others are said to be hiding away from the authorities in the fear of being arrested and thrown into jail the moment they show them- selves. At the latest dates the State of Guerrero and the district of Tepic remained unsettled. There had been inundations in several distri¢ts of the State of Vera Cruz, and trade was paralyzed, The embalmer who is charged with having desecrated the remains of Maximilian and trafficked in the relics of the deceased Emperor has ‘been prosecuted as a common thief, The traitor Lopez is renewing his attempts to establish his innovence. In tho midst of all this news of private and public confusion it is ludicrously incongruo:'s to read that the Mexican government is me. ‘tating a war with Guatemala on account of the tisputed boundary question, and that ata splendid jau- quet offered in the city of Mexico to Romero, the late Minister at Washington, General Escobedo proposed to take with fifieen thousand men the island of Cuba! [t might have been supposed that Juarez would have enough to do to reconstruct Mexico and attend to its domostic concerns, without engaging in any foreitn war. > At this particular moment all the vigilance of the Mexican President must be required to prevent an explosion, which may occur at any time, destroying his slender authority and aggravating the anarchy that fatally curses Mexico. Tho British Press on Measaae. We see by our telegrams from England that the London Times attacks the President’s Mcs- sage. It says, “Mr. Johnson has learned nothing, that he transcends himself in impru- dence, and that he regards his office as abso- lute sovereigns do their prerogatives.” Other journals use similar language on the subject. On this side the press of all parties, except the ultra radical, look upon the Message as the best Mr. Johnson’ ever sent to Congress, and, while firm jn tone and consistent with his position all along, as eminently moderate. We think we understand the matter quite as well, or a little better, than the British. Perhaps these London critics had not scen the Message, or but a few extracts from it, and have taken the opinions expressed from their correspond- ents, who, for the most part, are notoriously radical. But we rather think the Message is very distasteful for reasons not ex- pressed. The ground the President has taken with regard to the Alabama claims touches the English ina tender place. This is where the shoe pinches, and this is why Mr. Jobnson is regarded aa having learned nothing, as forfeit- ing respect and as assuming sovereign preroga- tives. Had he yielded to English views upon the subject, or had. ho been silent, he would have been an amiable gentleman and a wise President in the eyes of the British presa, Wo expect the President will be still more abused, and that before long, when he shall insist upon prompt payment of these Alabama claims. the § President's THE ST.

In my last I informed you of the arrival in this re- Public of the ‘advanced guard’’ of an American colony from the State of Georgia, and more partioulariy from the vicinity of Atlanta, They have settied in the valley of Sula, adjoining the town of San Pedro. Unfortunately they came rather late in the season to acoomplish much in the way of planting, although they have about eight hundred acres of cotton in, and with that they are highly delighted. Our aea island seed for tho first, second and third planting, is in all respects equal to the ortvinal, and has gol% im Liverpool for the sao> pciee; the fourth, fifth and sixth is as fine in but not quite so long, This is only the caso in the valley of Sula. There is ne doubt but that in after yoars this vailey will compete seriously with the Southern States, There is ap addi- tion of a hundred families expected every day. These who are now coming are men of means, who bring with them saw mills, cotton gins, and, in ‘all the ‘machinery required for other purposes. The capitalists of the colony intend establishing a line of steamers di- rect from Mobile to Puerto 10. The republic donated to the colony a very large tract of land, and has given them the freo navigation of the river Chimmolicon for ten years.
