General Antenio Lopes de Santa Anna and the Chevalier George Francis Train. That astonishing will-o’-the-wisp, the Cheva- lier George Francis Train, has been making ‘a bold stroke for the Presidency. In being arrested in Ireland as a Fenian and in being prisoned as filibuster in Cork he has got is name into the newspapers of, al! parties in fboth hemispheres, The time was propitious, jend fn seizing the opportunity he has shown pon what small things a nine days’ wonder ay be blown upon the world. His.release m limbo through the ‘intervention of Mr. Adams with Lord Stanley hus.saved our enter prising obief engineer of the Ciédit Mobilier in *Omaha and of women’s rights'in Kansas from ‘the fate ofa Fenian martyr ; but his imprison- ment by “‘the minions of British tyranny” has ‘or all that, made him a Fenian hero, His ‘claim for damages in, one bundred thousand ounds sterling may be thought a big figure; ut Train neverdoes things by halves. Why ot @ hundred thousand as well as a hundred? reover, who shall sayto s man who has oth hemispheres to look after that.a hundred ‘thousand pounds for the’loss of even a day.or Rwo is too much? A man’s damages must .be auged according to the scope of his business soperations.. As it stands, at all events, this of Train’s at Queenstown and Cork iss hit. It puts him far ahead of Colorado jewett as a regulator of the nations and brings within striking distance of ‘the Chevalier " ‘The only independent Presidential candidate bof this day who can hold » candle, to Train. is ishobbling off the stage of public affairs, hile Train is just dashing on “at the rate of ona plank road.” The old Mexican, President and Dictator and as the head of tions, has been fifty years in hot water; 4 ; fallof fire and mettle, head and ll “up, is only, beginning to snuff dis first attle afar off.

Aside Ge the disputes'as to wh shall be Secretary War, what Johnson will do and what cindi- ‘ante bas tho best chance for the Presidency, the rand. object of all legislation and all political tivity is to put the nigger above the white in over one-third the area of this Union. uch @ policy was surely never before enter- ined by any governing power of the civilized orld. Jadging from all the knowledge ofthe elations and development of races that {3 yet ‘attained, this policy-is o direct violation of the laws of God and nature. It is not only an pian to amalgamate socially races that only jhe crimes of men have brought together, but B® is an attempt to so bind society yp in laws a to secure the supremacy of the baser and ‘more brutal race.

Such is the actual position of the radi- party.

Italy and Spain. In tho Heraup of yesterday we printed a cable despatch which indicates the relationship ow subsisting between two peoples at one ime deemed the most Oatholio of all the Cath- lics. Italy, amid all her varying fortunes and spite of her unbappy divisions, has hitherto, erale, remained faithful to the Holy Seo nd more or less devoted to the person of the loly Father. In this particular she has been xcelled, if excelled at all, only by Spain. Cir- amstances have for the present made. the talian goverpment and the Holy See repre- mtatives of rival interests. True to her old Hegiance and to her hereditary character, pain stands forth as the friend of the Pope, nd {na recent manifesto, as well asin the lew Year's spoech of Queen Isabella, promises aterial aid, if need be, to the Papal govern- ont in defending itself against its Italian ene- ies. This is more than Italy in its present yexcited State can bear. General Menabrea has yeccordingly addressed « sbarp note to the ‘overnment of Queen Isabella, bidding it Ind its own business, and informing Bt that Prance, and France alone, rwill be allowed to stand between Italy and Rome. Italy can well afford so to speak, for, with the exceptions of France and Spain, the ‘Ttalian people may now count with safety on the sympathy or noutrality of tho rest of Europe. Itill becomes Spain to offer to inter- fere. If Spanish rulors will only open their eyos they will find enough todo at home It le not to be doniod that Spain haa for some years back boen making advancoment tn material prosperity, and that she has tri- omphod over various’ attompts at revolution, padi aa i 3 5 E i : Bs i NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1668—TRIPL® SHEET. It is not the less true, however, that Spain has nothing to gain and: everything to lose by going to war. The insureectionary spirit which is merely held in check would burst forth with greater violence than ever. In such a case the throne of Queen Isabella would not be-worth an bour’s purchase ; and Cuba and Porto Rico, the last lingering remnants of the once splendid Indian empire, would be gone forever. General Menabrea, who knows all this, has done well to resent Spanish impu- dence. . Vagderbilt’s Opportunity. Commodore Vanderbilt has now the con- trol-of four of our principal railroads and is already introducing many excellent improve- ments in the management of those lines. He bas ap opportunity, however, to serve the interests of the travelling public to a atill greater degree by establishing cabs or like means of conveyance, at the various depots for the benefit of passengers. Every traveller on our railroads has had experience of the tender mercies of the importunate hackmen who besiege each railroad depot. The most shameless extortion is practised by these Jehu harpies. It often happens that after entering into an agreement to be conveyed to his deati- nation at a certain price the traveller finds himself in some out of the way place, with the driver at the door, protesting against moving another step without being paid more money. Another objection to the present hacks is that @ traveller always runs the risk of getting into one.in which some person afflicted with a con- tagious disease had been previously conveyed. Ladies, unaccompanied by gentlemen, dare not, as a general rale, trust themselves in one of those miserable conveyances after nightfall. The cab system has been long in operation in England, and has proved very satisfactory. | Why should not our railroad directors provide their numerous patrons with proper means of conveyance to and from each depot, and not leave them at the mercy of irresponsible hack- men? Commodore Vanderbilt has the reins of hig four railroad team in his hands, and it will add considerably to his reputation asa railroad manager if he establishes a line of cabs at each depot, and thus settles this matter to the satisfaction of the public. It will also be a source of considerable profit to the rail- road company, for they can charge @ fixed and reasonable fare for each passenger. The drivers, being the employés of the company, will be responsible to the public, and insolence and extortion on their part will be checked. One Good Specch tu Congress. ‘Mr. Cary, of Obio, fg an independent repub- lican, who evidently does not give up to party his right to think; who is not driven by radical ‘clamor nor deceived by its sophistry. He de- livered in Congress on Monday the best speech to which reconstruction has yet given rise. It was a criticism on those points of the new law that make Grant dictator.

We need hardly say: that Mr. Bingham, in bis closing argument, made no respectable answer to Mr. Cary. He regretted that “his colleague hed deemed it his duty to make such inquiries,” and he said that Congress had power over Grant, for it had made bim Gene- ral. “The breath which made him General may unmake him to-morrow.” What sort of time would the breath that mado Cromwell General have had in unmaking him when his soldiers were shutting up the House of Par- Mament? ° CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION. 6 Committ Discussioa. , Aumany, Jan, 22, 1568.

Havana, Jan. 22, 1868, We have further details of the news from Mexico. A-seat on the bench of the Supreme Court had been offered to Sefior Matias Romero, who was still undecided as to whother he should return to Washington a» Minister or remain in Mexico. Congress seemed inclined to force Minister 8. Lerdo de Tejada to give up either his portfolio as head of the State Department or his seat in Con- gress, The extraordinary powers which President Juarez had surrendered to Congress on his in- auguration have again been authorized by Con- gress for a limited time in view of the Yucatan insurrection, A secretseasion was held, in which the publication of a manifesto declaring the policy of the majority in Congress was approved. There were rumors of an appropriation of $440,000 to erect a monument in honor of the he- roes of Mexican independence. How this is to be done out of an empty treasury forms a difficulty. Congress has lately been stirring up the English company holding the concession to finish the rail- way between Moxico and Vera Cruz. A emelling committee had been appointed to find out what means were used to secure the concession. - A grand review of the military forces forming the division of the centre had taken place at the capital. An attempt had been made to kidnap General Carvajal, but he escaped after killing the leader of the kidnappers. The Monitor Republicano publishes an extraor- dinary alphabetical memorandum book found in Maximilian’s private cabinet by the police. It abuses and exposes every influential and famous man in Mexico. The reports from the Real del Monte mines are unfavorable.
