' SPECIAL TELEGRAMS TO THE HERALO, The Bishop of Havana Flanks the Captaia General—Sharp Strategy. HAVANA, March 30, 1868. The Bishop of Havana has completely outflanked the Captain General of Cuba. It will be recollected ‘that the latter gave orders to send the prelate to Porto Rico by way of punishment for his late offence. ‘The Bishop, however, kept away from Havana, ‘but asked General Lersundi’s permiasion to go direct to Madrid. This was peremptorily refused, ‘whereupon the Bishop sent a friend to Key West for the purpose of telegraphing to Madrid the fact of this refusal. In two days the Royal permission was tele- graphed back to the friend at Key West authorizing the prelate to go direct to Madrid. General Lersunat is thus left powerless in the premises, and the Bishop has come back to Havana, where he will embark as soon as he sees fit. It is probable that he will go via New York. Departure of the Bishop for Cadiz. Havana, March 30—P. M. At the Cathedral! the Bishop received the clergy of ‘Havana and made an address to them. He was re- ceived amid the tolling of bells. He afterwards pro- ceeded to the wharf on foot and took passage for Cadiz.

THE NEW DOMINION. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Panic Preparations for a Fenian Raid—Gov- ernment Plan in the Excitement, MONTREAL, March 30, 1868, We are in the midst of another Fenian scare. Pri- ‘vate orders have been issued to all the regiments tn garrison to have ammunition and two days’ rations served out and make ready to march at a moment's notice. The artillery is also under orders. To-day a quantity of “Greek fire’ and phosphorus, stolen from Mr.SLyman, a druggist, has been found stored in Grifintown, the most Irish portion of the city. Considerable excitement prevails in the city. The volunteers in various parts of the country, as ‘well as the regulars, have’ received orders to prepare for duty if called out. The government accounts for these precautions by + the statements that have been received in private re- ports of arms and material of war stored on the fron- tier near Buffalo and St. Albans. Private despatches from the HERALD's Ottawa cor- respondent, received to-day, say all this is only a strategic move to enable the government to carry a militia bill of unusual severity, amounting to a con- scription, during the excitement caused by a ground- Jess agitation. ENGLAND. Neutrality in the La Plate War—Mr. Glad- stoné’s Motion on the Irish Church—The Op- Position Plan of Protestant Voluntaryism. Lonpos, March 30--Midnight. In the House of Lords this evening Lord Malms- ‘Dury disclaimed any intention upon the part of the English government to interfere in the affairs of Paryguay. In the House of Commons petitions in favor of and against the Irish Church establishment were read. Mr. Gladstone, after calling for the reading of ‘the acts of Parliament in relation to the Irish church, moved that the House proceed to consider them. He declared the time had come when the Irish church should cease to exist as a State establishment, He would are no details of the means by which this was to be Drought about, because it was not the duty of the op- Position to arrange them. All proprietary rights should be respected. There should no longer be a salaried clergy paid by the state and connected with thechurch. A fund for the benefit of Ireland should be created from the balances of the incomes of the Church. Mr. Gladstone proceeded to explain that the liberal party had not dealt with this ques- ‘tion because it had never before been presented to them in @ concrete shape as at the present time. Poth parties, he said, were excusable for neglecting ‘the subject, because the public sense had not ‘Defore been fully aroused in regard to it. He repelled the charge of apostacy which had been amade against him. Speaking of measures which should be adopted, he recommended that the «churches and parsonages should be left to the clergy those who chose to maintain them would indemnify ‘the owner of the advowsons. After further arguments Mr. Gladstone closed ‘with an appeal to the House to take some definite ood Stanley replied, opposing too hasty action tn the matter, saying the House should wait until the ‘Commission on the Irish Church should make their ‘report, and concluded by moving his resolution, of ‘which he gave notice last Friday, that the subject be Jeft over for the consideration of the next Paritament. Mr. Oranborne, the member for Stamford, moved tee that the principie of disestablishing the | ir i#h Ohurch be settled now, and the details be left ‘to the next Parliament. The debate was then adjourned. A bill abolishing floggiag tn the army has passed ‘the House of Commons. MISSISSIPPI.

The election in thig State occurs to-morrow, The following 18 a list of the candidates, It will be use- ful for reference, but not for much else, probably, so far as the democrats are concerned:— Republican, Democrat. Governor .....Amb. E, Burnside, Lyman Pearce. Lt. Governor..Pardon W. Stevens. Gideon A, Durfee. Secret’y State.John R. Bartlett. No opposition. Att'y General,. Willard Sayles, George N. Bliss. Treasurer......Samuel A. Parker. James Atkins, The following is the vote by counties last year:— ELECTION IN RHODE ISLAND—1867, Burnside, Dem. Pierce, 403 210 151 833, 870 274 4,084 1,046 1,264 415 3,178 Whole vote, 10,550; Burnside over Pierce, 4,194. It is a somewhat singular fact that the democrats in Rhode Island cast more votes for McClellan in 1864 (8,470) than were cast by the republicans for Burn- side during either his term in 1866 (8,196) or in 1867 (1,372), Thewhole number of voters in the State is probably about 25,000, If the democrats do no worse to-morrow than they did in 1864, and the republicans no better than they have the past two years, the former will, of course, carry the State. General Grant and Negro Suffrage. Touching the matterof General Grant’s notions about negro suffrage, the Cincinnati Commercial, republican, March 28, mentions that the statement of Hon. D. W. Gooch, of Massachusetts, relative to a conversation had with General Grant in April last, in the course of which the General ex- pressed himself in favor of reconstruction, with negro suffrage as a condition of it, reminds it of another conversation with the General at a dinner party, given while he was on a visit to his former home, in Brown county, two years ago Jast summer. It will not be improper to say, re- marks the Commercial, that suMcient was sald to convince us that General Grant was fully up to the most advanced ideas of that day on the question of suffrage, and that he was unqualifiedly in favor of giving the ballot to the negroes who had entered the service and fought on the side of government for the salvation of the Union. We never doubted from that moment where General Grant stood. If our recollection is clear General Sherman held the same opinion at that time; and we have no reason to think that either of these distinguished men has ever changed his views. Letter from Ex-Governor Seymour. Urica, March 28, 1868, DEAR StR—You will show some surprise that I have taken no notice of @ silly falsehood put out by the Ohio State Journal, and going the rounds of the republican journals, that I am not a candidate for the Presidency, because there is proof that, in 1864, I was in confidential correspondence with the rebel commissioners in Canada. I have found that putting down one siander always gives birth to another, and they always rise in degree, You see that lam now charged with open treason. The story ts absurd on ita face. Some one claiming to have been an in- former says he sent sworn statements, showing gulit on my part, to the State Department, which were not believed. ‘This telis the ckaracter of the man. Mr. Seward’s hostility to me is well known. The State Department would not trouble itself about the perjury if there was plausibility. The man who was convicted of faise swearing against Colonel North was tracked to that office, when it procured his imprisonment and that of other innocent men. I never had any confidential correspondence with Mesara. Clay and Holcomb. Ido not know them. IfT ever, at any time, wrote to either of them, it must have been some merely formal matter, of which I have not the slightest recollection. What was sworn to or made up by Mr. Seward's spies I do not know; but I think the Paes would be interested by a view of the system of informers and perjury in use during the past seven years, I hope it will be laid bare by anew administration. HORATIO SEYMOUR. Wentchester County Politics. A large and influential democratic mass meeting ‘was held at Tremont last evening for the purpose of rallying the party and taking steps for the approach- ing Presidential election. Ex-Congressman Rogers, of New Jersey, spoke at length on the subject of the impeachment of President Johnson, and urged upon his hearers the policy of all composing the democratic party in the States working together to ensure the downfall of the radicals. All the evils of civil war, undue taxation and depression of trade that had visited the country originated in the dissension that had fallen out among the democrats, and the Convention of Charleston had sounded the tocsin for the disruption of the party and the triumph of the republicans, There was a time when the govern- ment would have been ied from one party to another as intact as they had received it, but now a wer was at work which waa bent on tearing down the proudest principles of the conatitution and de- stroying the My fabric of the government. The English House of Paritament that beheaded Charles the First was the champion of liberty in comparison with the present Congress of the United States, Mr. Rogers then went on to speak of the terms of the constitution with regard to the rights of individual States, referred to the unjust character of the so-called Reconstruction bill, _adverted to the able administration of Andrew Johnson, and concluded by urging apon his audience their duty to stand by their party. The democrata might not be successful at once, not even in the forthcom- ing Presidential contest, but a time was coming when the radical party would meet with their deserta and when every democrat would take up arms if necessary and shed his blood in the defence of that liberty which was jeopardized by the mad At the conclusion of Mr. Rogers’ speech Mr. Scott R. Sherwood and other gentlemen addressed the meeting, after which a@ series of resolutions were passed condemning the tm hment committee and advocating General McClellan for the coming President.

Bosrox, March 30, 1868, The leading members of the Radical State Commit- tee have no hesitation in repeating more emphati- cally than ever that Senator Wilson will be nominated on the Grant ticket at Chicago, They assert that the only opposition of any account will come from the friends of Colfax and Wade, and claim that the strength of both of these ta daily growing stronger.

SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, The Bloodgood Injunction—The “Absent”? Di- rectors, The case of John Bloodgood va. The Efie Railway Company, Daniel Drew and others—a suit brought by the Vanderbilt inte: and the counterpart of the Schell actlon—came before Judge Cardozo yesterday morning on a motion by the defendants to set aside and vacate the injunction granted therein by Judge Cardozo, After some little discussion, of no general importance, the court declined taking any action in ‘he matter until the hearing of the appeal which has been taken to the General Term, ‘he injunction still remains in force, Before Judge Barnard the pluries attachments issued at Jay Gould, James Fisk, Jr., and J. 8. Eldridge were returned, the Sheriff stating that he had nable to find the parties within the limits of his bailiwick. Henry C.

The Erie Railroad Bill Signed by Governor Ward, of New Jersey. TRENTON, March 30, 1868, ‘The long suspense is at an end in the matter of the Erle Railroad. Governor Ward has signed the bill conférring on the Erie Railroad Company all the privileges they possessed in New York. When the Legislature assembled this evening the probable fate of the bill was the exclusive topic discussed among the members. Erle had been badly treated in Albany, and it would be ungenerous, as well as preju- dicial to the interests of New Jersey, to consign the corporation to the rapicious maw of the Vander- bilt monopoly, The fecling against the monopoly js go strong here that in tne event of a the bill would be taken up and passed through both houses over the veto before noon to- morrow. Camden and Amboy ts the ruling spirit in Jersey, and Camden and Amboy has declared most emphatically inst Vanderbilt. The time is at hand when ‘the wolf and the lamb shall lie down ether.” Monopoly and anti-monopoly here shake hands, but nothing is new under the sun, least of all in Jersey. The sympathy extended to Brie in this State will Sagi compensate for reverses in other quarters. ie reported departure of Mr. Gould, one ot the directors, with a large amount of funds in his eget gave rise to much comment at the State House this morning, but @ satisfactory explanation was given to-night. The directors have sent him on @ special mission to contract for the lay- ing of the broad guage on that portion of the road m Akron to Toledo, which has given rise to the whole < . From the introduc- tion of the bill to ite passage the Erie agents isplayed @ shrewdness and strategy checkinated their opponents at every step. Senator and members from Hudson county held a caucus this afternoon, when it was resolved to push the biil through without delay in case of a veto. The Vanderbili party have been incessantly on the watch to, obtain the slightest advantage. In the State House, at the hotels and in the lob6y they were in desperate earnest. So carly a8 last Tuesday they were informed by the few members they had enlisted that success was impossible. On the other side Sen- ator Winfleld carried a resolution rescinding the yote for adjournment next Friday, on the ground that certain bills might have to be acted on in case of the Governor's veto, This resolution cut the last plank from under the feet of the opponents of the measure, and the result was foreseen. Mr. Eldridge, President of the Erie Ratiroad, attended from day to day, and satisfied himself that evory point of atiack was duly covered, BROOKLYN CITY.
