YORK THEATRE. opposite New York Hotel.— Tho’ epeciat’ object of the extraordinary Chinese mission now here is still shrouded in “harap Roteaeagey “Envoy potentiary for Chins,” has in eloquent and glowing language told us that it means pro- relations of China with the rest of the world; that China is “‘ready to take upon her ancient civilization,” and that she comprehends the necessity of this from seeing and feeling the velopments of the age all around her; but we have yet to learn specifically what China asks and will accept in order to bring her into more intimate relations with the family of nations. True, Mr. Burlingame tells us that Chins asks the Western Powers ‘‘to give to the treaties made with her under the pressure ot war 6 generous and Christian construction, to re- spect the neutrality of ber waters, to leave her perfectly free to unfold herself precisely in the integrity of her territory.” In short, the general object ‘of the mission appears to be to firmly establish and perpetu- ate that co-operative peace policy towards China which this - distinguished ambassador was mainly instrumental in inaugurating some few years ago. But the question remains, how are the Western nations to respond to this ap- peal for a generous and enlightened policy, and what can be done ¢o carry it out? Mr. Bur- lingame cannot fail to do much good in his eloquent efforts to instruct us on the condition and wants of China, and to rally that ‘‘strong- est thing on earth, the enlightened public aen- timent of the world,” in behalf of justice to China; but we suppose he is something more than a missionary, and that, as a minister plen- ipotentiary, he has come to give practical effect to the sentiments he utters through the usual form of treaty stipulations. Assuming this to be the case, or that if the Embassy should only have initiatory powers at present the result must be that in the end, the question arises here, are the people and government of the United States prepared to admit China into the family of nations on the same footing with other nations of the civilized world? That this country is in favor of a peaceful and friendly policy, and that it ear- nestly desires to extend its trade with that vast and populous empire, there can be no doubt. Indeed, Mr. Burlingame, when our Min- ister in China, and the’ government at Washington have shown that the United | States desired to reverse the old policy of force towards China and te establish a peaceful and co-operative one. The American people and government do not wish to use force, do not want to make conquests in Asia, or to break up or weaken the government of China, On the contrary, they will respect the rights and territorial integrity of that empire. More than | that, they will cordially respond to the offer of reciprocal advantages in an enlarged trade and | freer intercourse with the Chinese. In these things there is undoubtedly a disposition to | treat with China on the same footing as with the most favored nations. So far, we appre- | hend, there would be no difficulty in making a treaty. But other questions may arise, though we do not know that they have been raised, which | might not be quite as easy to settle all at once. One might possibly be that of the status of the Chinese in this country. If we expect to treat {| with China on the basis of equality and to have American citizens protected and to enjoy the privileges in that country which they have in all friendly civilized countries, the Chinese government may and would have the right to and similar protection and privileges for sin the United States. To this ab stract principle of fairness, justice and equal- ity no right minded could dem The difficulty lies, in the proju- dice of race. The people of this country | had, to a recent the strong- est pride and prejudice of race. They meant to preserve the unity and supre- | macy of the Caucasian race over all other | races——over Indians, negroes and Mongolians — and there are still existing strong prejudices. Though the negroes, for political purposes and | asa result of the war, have been admitted to civil rights and equality under the law, there | is still a repngnance to putting them or any other people of what are called the inferior | races on an equality with the Caucasian race. With regard to the Chinese or Mongolians this prejudice is very strong in California. They have not had the protection of the laws as | other people have, and in many cases they have been treated in an atrocious manner, The immigration of these Chinese has been very large, and it is estimated there are over fifty thousand in California. The number would increase greatly if they were protected and had the same privileges as other foreigners, but to this the Californians are opposed. There might be a very large emigration to other parts of the country as well, were such pro- tection and privileges conceded to them as other foreigners can claim. There is no doubt they are as peaceable and industrious as any other people, and their labor might be made valuable in promoting the wealth of the coun- try ; still, the question arises, will our people conquer their prejudices and can the federal government extend to the Chinese the protec- tion and rights in California extended to other its st person re however, up period, subjects or citizens of friendly Powers? Will it be practicable to provide for this in a treaty with China if demanded? And would such a treaty be superior to the local laws of the State? We do not know if this question has arisen between the Embassy and our government, but if it has not it may arise at some time should the United States and China enter into tho same relations that exist between the friendly Powers of Christendom. If this should bea point in the negotiations for a treaty, and our government should stand out against it, we may lose important advantages, There is no doubt that England, France and the other Powers of Europe, which have oo prejudices or difficulty about races, would make treaties with China on the broadest and most liberal principle of reciprocal protection and rights to the subjects of each.

According to its provisions the tax on whiskey is fixed at fifty centa for every proof gallon, and all spirits in bonded warehouses must be withdrawn within six months and pay a tax of four dollars per barrel in addition to that of fifty cents per gal- lon. The system of bonding is abolished, and henceforth the tax is to be paid at the distil- lery. The tax on tobacco is fixed at thirty-two cents for chewing and snuff; five dol- Jars per thousand for cigars, cigarettes and cheroots, and two dollars and a half per pound and twenty-five per cent ad valorem on foreign cigars, this latter being a reduction from the present duties. Contrary to what was expected, the bill is “not devoted exclu- sively to whiskey and tobacco. The tax on banks is also regulated. This is fixed at one per cent per annum on private deposita, three per cent per annum on public deposits, and the balf of one per cent per annum upon the capi- tal employed by banks and bankers, A strong effort was made to levy a tax upon the interest received by the national banks front the bonds held by them, but it failed. The Park for the Samar The Park, the pride of the city, is now in all its summer glory. The trees, the shrubbery and the flowers, the mall, the ram- ble, the lakes, the museum of animals, the hall of statuary, the playgrounds, summer houses and refectories, the terrace, the bridges, the hills and hollows and shady nooks and corners, make the walks and drives and sails and rest- ing places of this grateful summer retreat sources of never failing recreation and whole- some enjoyment. It is especially so because of the admirable reign of law and order within the charmed circle of these beautiful grounds, and because of the perfect sense of peace and security which visitors of all races and condi- tions—men, women or children, equestrians and pedestrians, on foot or in carrfagea—feel on entering those inviting gates. For this we are directly indebted to those faithful guardians, those quiet and polite men in gray, the Park keepers, as our fellow citizens and the thou- sanda of welcome strangers mingling with them in these public gardens will cheerfully testify. These Park keepers, therefore, ought to be at least reasonably paid for their services; but two dollars per day for twelve or even eight hours of their services is hardly (air, In truth, the Commissioners ought to "be ashamed of it, and they should make it more without another word on the subject. Another thing. Dodworth’s band on Satur- days, in the afternoon, is a great treat; but we think that during the summer we might have music also on some other day in the week, as they have ia Washington. We preanme that the city railroads would be glad for this pur- pose to assume and pay without chaffering the expenses of the United States Marine baud from Governor's Isiand, or that of the receiv- ing ship North Carolina, and would have no objection either to meet the cost of an occa- sional festival of some singing society in the Park, inasmuch as every railroad line con- cerned is getting rich from the Park, and would reap an immense profit from these enter- tainments. We submit these hints to the Com- missioners, respecting the Park keepers and the music, and tite railroad companies, and particularly that this good old maxim, appli- cable everywhere, ought to be a fixed law in the Park, that the faithful servant should be well paid. Tue News rrom Mexioo.—The news from Mexico published in this morning’s Heratp shows that the rebellion in the State of Puebla is assuming alarming proportions. General Alatorre, who succeeded General Porfirio Diaz in command of that district, has been called to the capital for consultation and is to take command in the field. The press is still be- rating President Juarez, his Cabinet and Romero especially. The American legation receives a share of their attention. There is every likelihood that the present rainy season will find tho tierra caliente all ablaze with revolution. Some of Romero's financial policy is laid bare in a communication to the English bondholders. A noteworthy item is the an- nouncement that suicides are becoming fre- quent in Mexico, Im a country where tho taking of other people’s lives has been 80 frequent and common, it may be looked upon as a favorable change that the greasers now turn to taking their own lives. A Lares Horivay’s Worx, Evas For AnvY Jowngon.—Montezuma, when Cortez was around, did not sieep upon a bed of roses, and since the time of General Jackson the Presidents of the Uniled States, alwaysexcept- ing John Tyler, have had about as hard a time of it as Montevuma, In the more drudgery of the office it requires a strong con- stitution to survive it. Thursday last, for instance, in consequeuce of the marriage festi- val of Senator Henderson, was ® sort of official holiday in Washington, and yet on that day “Andy Johnson” saw the members of lis Qebiovt discharged bug usual routine huginess “Medes,” on the 20th of September, 1866, was ‘an event in the annals of the American theatre, and her last appearance, in “Elizabeth,” on the 26th of June, 1868, will be equally memorable. “Madame Ristori has given three hundred and forty-nine representations in the United States, Canada and Cuba. She has been gpplauded in New York, Brooklyn, Newark, Boston, Springfield, Lowell, Providence, Hartford, New Haven, Albany, Troy, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Erie, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Louisville, Memphis, Mobile, New Orleans, Richmond, Baltimore and Washington; in Montreal, in Guanabacoa, Marianao, Cardenas, Matanzas and Havana. She has appeared sixty-two times in ‘‘Marie Antoinette,” sixty-seven times in ‘Mary Stuart,” and ninety times in ‘CElizabeth.” Her repertoire hag consisted of ‘Medea,” “Mary Stuart,” ‘Elizabeth,” ‘‘Giuditta,” “Phedra,” ‘‘Macbeth,” ‘Adrienne Lecou- vreur,” ‘‘Pia de Tolomei,” Debora,” “‘Camma,” “Myrrha,” ‘‘Angelo,” ‘Tiran di Padua,” “Jean d’Arc,” ‘Francesca di Rimini,” “Marie Antoinette,” ‘“‘Norma,” ‘Sor Teresa,” “I Pazzi per Progetto,” ‘‘Les Jaloux Henreux,” “Rossini a Parigi,” ‘Cuoco @ Segretario,” ‘‘Teamonto del Sole,” and “La Colle- rica.” She has played in all these pieces at New York, except the last four, which were represented in Havana, and one, ‘‘Jean d’Arc,” a scene from which was given at Chicago. We-need not repeat the eulogies which we have constantly bestowed upon Ristori ever since, at her first appearance in New York, she awakened public enthusiasm by her transcend- ent genius. Our opinion of the versatility and the intense power of her genius has been uni- veraally endorsed. Even the obscuring veil of a foreign language could not hide the pro- digious talent of the most gifted and moat accomplished living actress; and our American public has exhibited in its turn the remark- able talent of appreciation for which we have always given it credit, Our people see and ad- mire instinctively genius of the highest order. They are yearly becoming more capable of con- ferring fame as well as fortune upon the very best artists that the Old World can produce. Ristori, indeed, brought to this country a name celebrated throughout Europe; but she would have won here only a mere ‘‘success of curiosity,” as the French call it, had our people been incapable of deciding that she worthily’ sustained her brilliant reputation. Moreover, certain circumstances, independ- ent of the personal merits of Ristori, have con- tributed to the immense success which she has won. Her first arrival in New York was opportune, She came at a time when, after an eventful and peculiarly unlucky career, Italian opera, as an agency to promote a taste for entertainments of a high order and to multiply the refining influences of elegant social life, had utterly failed. Our readers are familiar with the history of the vain efforts to establish Italian opera in this city—a his- tory almost entirely of losses, disaster and ruin, from the days of Palmo through those of Patti-Sanguirico and Fry and Maretzek (excepting the brief period when we congratulated ourselves that his early promise might not prove de- lusive); and the Havana troupe, under Marty, from the Tacon, when such names as Salvi, Marini, Badiati, Bossio, Steffanone -and Tedesco did not prevent a loss of forty thou- sand dollars; and Hackett, who lost twenty thousand dollars even with Grisi and Mario; and Ole Bull, and Maretzek again, ond‘ Ull- orann, and Strakosch, down tothe dark days of folly and impudence om the part of Max Maretzek and his one hundred and ninety-nine and a half stockholders, who fell into a silly struggle with the press, resulting fatally but naturally enough for the Italian opera and its self-constituted supporters. At this desperate crisis in the affwirs of the Italian opera, and at a moment, too, when the legitimate drama seemed to be at its lowest ebb, Ristori arrived in New York and inaugu- rated a healthy reaction against the depressing influences which threatened the American stage. Her consummate acting at once opened the eyes of the public and enlisted their sym- pathies. High dramatic art was again in the ascendant. The theatre, which, in its degrada- tion, was fast being deserted by persons of cal- ture and respectability, was again thronged by them, The entire community has been sap- plied with loftier standards of taste by ths ex- cellent impersonations of Ristori, whose p arify- ing and elevating influence will direct! y and, we trust, permanently affect the Araericau stage. It detracts nothing from the paerits of Ristori to add that her success, which has aided in tho reconstruction, as it were, of the American stage, is also targely due, to the skil- ful and energetic management of Mr. Grau. To the lack of superior manage ment must be ascribed the failure in Americm of Rachel, notwithstanding all her indisysutable genius, and the more recent failure of Janauschek, the admirable German fragécenne, Janaus- chek did comparatively well when she courageously tried the experiment—at best & doubtful experiment for any artist—of managing for herself. Grau has shown how good management can enhance the succeas of even so great an artiat as Ristori.

The latest indication is the attempt of the roaring radical organ to conjure up & candidate in the person of that unselfish states- man, the Hon. Horatio Seymour. Anybody will suit them better than Chase, and thus @ne organ urges Pendleton as their only man, another sets up Ohase, and a third seems to fancy that the democrats have no particular need of any candidate at all. It is astonishing what an interest the radicals take in the welfare of the democrats. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. 'The New York Democratic Organ, the Albany Argus, Out for Judge Chase—The Pro- gramme for the Convention. (From the Albany Argus (democratic organ), June 26.) ‘THE TWO-THIRDS RULE—THR VOTE BY STATES. The Convention thus called will proceed to its busi- ness in the accustomed way, and make its decisions according to the law of its organization and in con- formity with unvarying precedents, A convention called to restore the constitution and set up anew the bulwarks and safeguards of State rights and personal liberties cannot commence its work by disregarding the limitations originally incorporated at itsown constitution. It was the condition upon which the democracy of the smaller States, and Lt. tieniarly the democracy of the South, consented to accept the conventional system of nominations, that the minority should be protected from the dictation of a mere majority. There were analogies to the two-thirds rule in the federal and State con- stitutions. To overrule the veto, to confirm treaties, to convict upon impeachment, requires a two-thirds vote; and in the State conatitu- tiops similar requirements are ini to defeat combinations voting appropriations of public money, The tendency has been in the re- modelled constitutions of the later years to nullify these upon the absolute power of the majority, It is pecultarty suitable that this rule should be retained at this time in the nominating convention, a8 without It it would be easy for States having no prospect of contril to the democratic electoral vote dictating the nomination, and 0 declaring it as to defeat tie hopes of the States most reliable for democratic ata) The two- thirds rute was the fundamental law of the first national convention of (when a Vice President only was nominated), and was reitefated in 1836 and 1840 and 1844. It.was made the cover in the last named Convention for the defecuion that defeated Mr. Van Buren’s renomina- tion, and it owes much ofits unpopularity to its abuse on that occasion. But it ty the organic law of demo- cratic conventions, not to be set aside, except by a power as high as that which originated it; and all that the Convention of 1868 can rigntfully do to change it is to submit a proposition to that effect to Democratic Conventions of the several States, to be pasaed upon with a view to future action, ‘the Convention will vote by States, as herstofore— each delegation casting the whole vote upon q tions and candidates, or dividing it, according to views of members, a8 the delegation itseif shalt de- termine.
