Oar New Orleans correspondent gives a detailed Account of the late disturbance between the whites | and blacks in that city. The facts are mainly in ae- cordance with the telegraphic reports alr pub- lished. General Rousseau, it seems, appeared at the acene with a troop of cavairy almost as soon tlisturbance occurred and reniained until (he riot was eectually quelled. The Twenty-ninth infantry regiment, mumbermng 800 men, left Washington last night for Nashville vin the Knoxville Rallroad, The brig Sunny South, which was destroyed by fire in the Delaware river recently, was vot struck by Hghtning, as reported at the time. A lamp in the cabin set fire accidentally to the vapor of two thou- sand barrels of benzine, and the ship was thas shrouted in flames in a momert. The pilot wa hull i the captain and ravte were injured, Anotier alleged gross outrage by policemen upon uuoffending citizens was developed yesterday bef Judge Mansfield at the Easex Market Voliee Court Koundsman Kart and policeman Ponght, of the Penth precinct, were charged will) assaulting two German citizens at their pla ence, No. 66 Allen street, and dragging them to the station house, where they were locked up al) night. No complaint was preferred against them and they were «is narged. They are now determined to preter a com. ylatnt against the two policemen. Prarer meeting was held at Joly Allen's yester- ‘ay afternoon. Johnny himself was present, but took no part in the exercises more prominent (han to assist in singing or to help the lady portion of the ongregation to seats. At Kit Burns’ no meeting was beld, probably through some misunderstanding. A fracas occurred in Jersey City last evening, in of res South s cond street, near Prospect, nm wkich aman famed \ tin fatally stabbed one Jonn Rielly.

Working upon the pride and fears of their more moderate associates, and under the plea that such legis- lation wad necessary to insure the enforcement of republican laws, they have succeeded in raising « bulwark around their own partisans in office and have kept them for three years luxuriating in the spoils, The struggle over reconstruction is now over. The Congres- sional policy has prevailed despite the opposi- tion of the President. Wisely or unwisely, constitutionally or unconstitutionally, the ne- groes of the South have been invested with the franchise, and all but three of the ex-rebel States have resumed their proper position in the Union, are again invested with the pre- cious mantle of sovereignty, and claim equal rights and privileges with the loyal States under the bond of confederation. Neither the President nor Congress possesses now the law- ful power to exercise any more authority over Georgia or Alabama than over Pennsylvania or New York. Reconstruction being thus finally disposed of, in what position does the late contest between the President and Congress leave the belligerent forces? Under the operation of the Tenure of Office law the radicals, who filled the greater part of the offices when the struggle commenced, remain in possession of the Internal Revenue Department, the Post Offices, Custom Houses and whiskey rings, while the nomination of General Grant and the near approach of Johnson's retirement been | « the | As things settle into new places in the Southern Hemisphere, and arrange « balance for future stability, it is found that the level of an exten- sive district in one of the larger of the Sand- wich Islands is from four to six feet lower than formerly—a sufficient indication of the the surface carry over to the republican side the few office- holders who for selfish considerations have hitherto pretended to espouse the cause of the President. Thus far, then, the radicals have triumphed. They have won the victory on reconstruction; they have won in the retention of the spoils. On the other hand, Andrew Johnson, having got through fighting over reconstruction, looks around him and finds every public department filled with men whose peculations and frauds have nearly bankrupted the nation, He sees the government of which he is the nominal head, and for the faithful administration of which he is held responsible, stripped of hundreds of millions of dollars by plunderers as desperate as any burglar or highwayman who ever robbed the altar of a church or knocked out a traveller's brains for the value of his wallet. Indued himself with the strictest probity—probably the only truly honest man in public life in Washinton to- day—the President finds himself standing in the midst of a pool of the foulest corruption that ever blackened the character of a natfon from the early days of Rome down to the present age. This is the existing position of «Yuirs, and it is evident from recent occurrences that Andrew Johnson. has been taking observa- tions, and with his inborn love of a and his indomitable pluck, has resolved to renew the struggle with the radi- eal saction and recover the ground he has lost. He declares war against the whiskey rings and their accomplices in the revenue depurt- ment. He knows that he takes upon himself a task as Herculean as a new rebellion; but in | his past tremendous conflicts with Congress he has proved himself equal to the emergency. | Finding that he can do nothing through the | heads of departments, the prosecuting lawyers, | or any of those whose official duty requires | them to keep guard over the Treasury, he bas | determined to break through the forms by which he has hitherto been shackled and to | take a new departure. He has made the Solicitor of Internal Revenue Binckley his lieutenant, and furnished him from the maga zine of the Executive Department with ample ammunition for a brilliant campaign. officer, although temporarily repulsed by the enemy, is now vigorously pushing an exami | nation before the United States Commissioner which takes the character of a reconnoissance in force, and will he followed by sieges, as saults, bombardments ond battles of tremen- | | dons magnitude. His movements have spread | a fearful panic among the whiskey vings and officeholders, and they are using every means * | to embarrass and defeat the investigation be | Twenty-five million dollars | | has set on foot. will be The ablest counsel in the conatry are jon. ppropriated, if necessary, to crash it | ont. employed to throw every tee! The Congres chment rushes inte the field to renew its, selfassumed funetions the way siorial Committee on Retro of the prosee! and to create courts. Congress itself provides for a meet ing in October in order that the whole legiste- | tive power may be invoked for the protection | of the revenne rings. ' We caution the President that he has a harder fight before him than when ‘he measured swords with Congress on the issue of reconstruction, The men ‘against whom he now takes — the field have money without end; they have a majority in Congress, delegates in every | Legislature, tools in every court and witnesses | for every emergency; they have the power to make and to break reputations through the agency of a suborned press; they can blast | with slander, reward with office, buy with money and appall with violence—all without personal responsibility. There is a freema- sonry between the separate rings or combina- | tions that binds them together as one in influ- ence und means when the safety of either is threatened. Under these circumstances sue- cess must seem very doubtful; and yet An- drew Johnson has it in his power, by one adroit movemont, to make himself master of That | the situation and to gain a decisive victory over the radicals, who have been a thorn in his side and the unrelenting enemies of his administration, Let him at once unite Gene- ral Grant with him in the purification of the government. Whatever may be the result in the courts, the present federal officeholders stand convicted at the bar of public opinion of the most stupendous crimes ever committed against a government. Let Andrew Johnson sweep them all away by the power of suspen- sion still invested in him and consult General Grant as to their successors, Congress would not daré to restore the plunderers to office or to remove the nominees of General Grant. President Johnson can have no sympathy or consort with the democracy, and he possesses the power to shape the conservative character of the next administration. As soon as Grant is elected public sentiment will demand the repeal of the Tenure of Office law; but Andrew Johnson has the power to take the lead in the great work of reform. The magnificent covp d'état we have suggested would at once purify the government, relieve the Treasury, crush out radicalism and probably compel Seymour to withdraw from the canvass. It would en- able Andrew Johnson to close his present term of office in @ brilliant and popular manner, and would open to him a hopeful future, Let us see whether he will neglect the splendid opportunity, The Insurrection in Spain. The cause of Queen Isabella seems to be becoming daily more hopeless. The rising becomes more and more general. When we consider that the telegraph wires have been cut and all railway communication seriously disturbed, the news must be admitted to reveal a state of feeling all over the country which is fatal to the prospects of Qneen Isabella. Hatred of the present government rather than any desire for constitutional reform seems to be the dominant characteristic of the reyolu- tion so far as it has gone. No cry has been raised in favor of # republic, nor has the popular voice yet pronounced with distinctness the name of a substitute for Queen Isabella. Thus far the revolution, though it has been general and somewhat determined, has been wanting in point and purpose. It is not enough to be decided on the removal of the Queen and her hated ministers; there ought to have been some agreement among the rebel leaders as to the kind of government which should succeed. It will not surprise us if this want of definite aim and purpose proves fatal to the hopes of the revolutionists. That some change will be effected there can be no doubt, but the danger is that the change will not be sufficiently radical to allay discontent and to render future risings unnecessary and unwise. So far as we know the facts but one definite . proposal has been made, and that has been made by the friends of the Queen. We refer to the proposal that the Queen should abdicate in favor of the young Prince of the Asturias, the Queen’s only son and of course the heir to the mon- archy. We have no notion that such an ar- rangement would satisfy the revolutionists, We are less satisfied that it would give lasting peace and contentment to the nation. The Prince is only in his eleventh year, His ap- pointment, therefore, could have no other effect -than to revive all the horrors of the regency of which Spain in the early years of Isabella had such bitter experience. There are two other candidates for the throne—the Prince de Gir- genti, who is married to the Queen's eldest daughter, and the Duc de Montpensier, who is the husband of the Queen's sister; but as the one is a Neapolitan Bourbon and the other a member of the House of Orleans, Napoleon is little likely to sanction the appointment of either. The only other possible clainant is the heir of Don Carlos; but bis chances are amall, A few more hours will in all likeli- hood set the entire situation in a clearer light. Effect of the State of Things on Sonthern Credit. It appears from a letter published in yester- day's Henatp, in connection with our Georgia correspondence, that Northern capitalists are afraid to credit the South under the present disturbed state of affairs, The cashier of the National Park Bank of this city, in reply to an application from Atlanta for negotiating a loan of money, 8a, ~“In happier and calmer times we sh ve been glad to entertain the negotiation: but in the present state of things, political and commercial, our board is adverse to taking risks out of the pale of ordi- nary mercantile transactions.” This is the re- sult of radical reconst om and misrule ic | attempting to overthrow the laws of nature and | common sense by putting the ignorant negroes as a governing power over the intelligent whites.

The bears held high carnival in the Gold | Room last week, and just in the nick of time | for them the Treasury sol@ about a quarter of @ million of its coin reserve. Why the Trea- | sury selected a time when a bear speculation was ia active progress for this purpose, when it had not sold any gold before for months, passes ordinary understanding, unless we ques- tion the motives which influenced it. The bears, as a matter of course, exaggerated the amount the government had sold and was to sell, and in the midst of the consequent ex- citement gold declined to 141} and values of all kinds in the various markets were unsettled, while the fall trade, which had been going for- ward prosperously, received a check and im- porters and the mercantile community were involved in considerable losses. This sale on Wednesday last was made se- cretly through a broker, although an act of Con- gress, passed just before its adjournment last summer, prohibited the payment of commissions upon the sale of gold or bonds, thereby mak- ing it incumbent upon the Secretary of the ‘Treasury to make all such sales direct—that is to say, without the intervention of a broker. This act failed to receive the President's sig- nature, and has, therefore, not become a law ; but it none the less expresses the sentiment of Congress and the people on this subject, and Mr. McCulloch should have voluntarily acted | upon it, instead of which he adheres to a course which has brought much scandal upon | his department, both on the score of its ex- travagance and its favoritism. The sooner Congress puts a stop to this clandestine method of transacting this branch of the business of the Treasury the better; and the people have aright to demand that such sales be made both publicly and economically. And in con- nection with these gold sales we may inciden- tally remark, that the more the Treasury suc- ceeds in increasing its coin reserve the nearer we shall be to the resumption of specie pay- ments, and the more it is reduced the more remote will be the prospect of resumption. General Prim. The revolution now in progress in ought to develop, if well contested, some mili- tary features which for dash and strategy will be new to the Iberian peninsula. General Prim, the leader of the Spanish revolutionists, it will be recollected, after his return from Mexico in 1862, whither he was gent with a portion of her Catholic Majesty's army, paid a visit to the United States, the motive of which becomes now pretty clearly apparent. He sought out McClellan, at the head of the Army of the Potomac, learned a great deal from that offi- cer in reference to American warfare, studied the character of American strategy, became acquainted with all his leading generals, at- tended carefully to the details of army organization, and entered with the en- thusiasm of a student into the ac- quirement of all the military know- ledge which the bloody campaigns against Richmond were capable of affording. He passed afterwards over to the Confederate lines, where he was received with all the courtesy and consideration which one of his distinguished rank might anticipate. On the other side there was no less material ready at hand to furnish him with new ideas of army organization and of army movements. Stone- wall Jackson's series of brilliant achievements were exactly in the line of his studies. The havoc that officer made of an army much larger than his own and far more effectively equipped formed ample food for reflection, and must have suggested to the mind of the pros- pective leader of the Spanish revolutionists the feasibility of one day being able to accom- plish something similar by usingthe same means, the same dash and daring in a quarter where he could only expect to meet the old, cautions, regular tactics which Jackson neutralized and defeated by the simple use of energetic, in- trepid and unexpected advances. The part of the country in which the Spanish revolution- ists are now operating should be favorable to that particular kind of warfare which Stone- wall Jackson used with such tremendous effect. It is woody and mountainous, and if Prim can only succeed in getting together material but half as brave and enduring as Jackson had there will be little doubt, if he uses his experience to advantage, that the royal troops of Spain will fare badly at his hands. Just a small share of Phil Sheridan's pluck and unhesitating spirit used in the right measure by Prim will make the royal standard flutter tremulously in a fight and tie royel Dons show their coat tails to the revolutionists. Tue Pevaccies or Disreipurine tHE Spoms.—lt isa very comfortable thing, an- doubtedly, to be the happy recipient of official spoils, but judging from the troubles of the President and Collector Smythe it is not so in distributing them. The Collector just now is being raked fore and aft by hot shot from both the democrats and radicals for using or not using the offices of the Custom House as they | want.

AMUSE | Musical and Thentrical Notes. “Barbe Bleue” has reached the “last nights” of hie | mucced@all career at Niblo’s, and his piace will be usurped by the “Legitimate.” On ‘Thursday evening, October 8, thé last “Barbe Bleue’ performauce will be given at this establishment, and as that charm- ing opera, after its withdrawal, will not be performed again in this city, for #ome* months ut least, it is more than probable that the house will be crowded du- ming the few remaining nights. Mr. Bateman’s op/ra bouffe troupe opens at Pike’s Opera House on the 14th of October; with the “Grand Duchess.” Mile. ‘Tostee will assume her original rove of tue Duchess, with Mile, Lambele as Wanda, M, Aujac as Fritz and Messrs, Leduc and Duchesne in their original char- acters of Prince Paul and General Boum, ‘The Wallackian season, which was so auspiciously inaugurated at Wallack’s theatre of Wednesday evening last, promises to be one of the most bril- hant in the annals of the stage of that popular theatre. Every piece that will be produced during the present season at this establishment will, as heretofore, be mounted in the best possible style and careful and discerning judgment will at the same time be bestowed upon the cast, For the present no change will be made in the programme at this house, and therefore “Simon Bernard’? and “Dearer Than Life’ will continue for another week’ to amuse and instruct large and fashionable audiences, ‘To-night the Florences commence an engagement atthe Broadway theatre, where will be produced for the first time im America the retransiated dramatization of Oharles Dickens’ last Christ- mas story, entitled “No Thoroughfare.’’ This play, which is now being performed in Paris, has already passed the Rubicon of its one hundredth representation, was first translated and dramatized ior the /rench stage, and it is a retransiation into English of the French version that is to be brought out this evening at ever popular Broadway, Great care and attention have been observed in the mounting of the piece, and it wiil doubtless prove the great attraction of the hour. ‘The Bowery theatre offers an excellent programme to its patrons for the present week. The new Irish drama of “A Dark Hour Before Day,” which has been placed upon the stage at a great expense, will form the first partof the evening's entertainment wad will be followed by the standard bowery drama of the “Forest of Bondy,” in which latter ‘trained dogs" will assume the principal roles, At the Olympic “Humpty Dumpty,” reconstructed and mute at lus stupendous success, continues apon ‘the bills, aud this fact, together with the nightly an- nouncement of “standing room only," 1s a suilicient of iis popularity and success, ‘ie New York theatre announces the ninth and last week of “Foul Play” and the third week of the underlining of Charles Gaylor’s new sensational drama of “Out of the Street,’ which is to be pro- duced on Monday evening next without fail. ‘The irrepressible Tony Pastor, the great theatrical Mogul of the east side, 1s out with another new sen- sational drama, entitled “fhe Fairy Shamrock, or the Lakes of Killarney,’ which has been placed upon the stage in astyie never before attempted at this theatre, “Tony” himself has added the “Wickedest Man in New York” to his “Grecian Bend,” and tt 13 anticipated that the Bowery “revivat’’ will be some- thing “scrumptious.” At the Theatre Comique the inimitable Lingard will do the “Grecian Bend” to perfection and many other novelties have been added to the bills, The Vaudeville style of performances as given at this esiablishment have become an institution in this city, as fully attested by the large audiences that nightly crowd this beautiful tempie of the muses, r Blitz, the father of wi is, presents the public with an entire change of programme this week, and continues the attraction of the “Doubie Headed Sphinx.” Kelly & Leon's Minstrels have changed the first and second parts cf their entertainment, but still find tt profitable and pleasant to continue their laughable travesty of “Barbe Blue” as their grand tnale, “Lucrezia Borgia” has proved an immense success at Bryant’s, and will be continued until further notice, Aside from this adimirable burlesque many new features have been added to their programme. -. uvszizNts. | WASHINGTON.

Mlogal Congressional Legislation. Smee the meeting of Congress, on the 21st inst., prominent democrats here have severely commented on the statements made in the Senate by Senator Anthony during the discussion raised by Senator Buckalew, who offered a resolution calling upon the House to report to the Senate whether or not they had @ quorum present. Mr. Anthony said, “It is known that one half of the business of Congress was transacted without a quorum. Very important bills had been passed when a quorum was not present. He had known indian treaties negotiated when only tree members were present.” They claim that this admission of Senator Anthony that Congress has been guilty of illegal legislation is fully as damaging to the radical party as the assertion of the late Thad Stevens, that if they were not acting outside the constitution then they were working to no purpose. Stagnation at the Capital—The Internal Reve- aue Muddle. Wasiington has relasped into duines« again. Public atfaivs seem to have grown stagnant. The last Congressman has finished up all the little jobs he had to attend to for his constituents and has gone. The “carpet-baggers’ have generally fol- lowed the example of the ‘“grand-trunkers,” and nearly ail the ofiice hunters have bundled up their* rolls of recommendations and have gone home to wait for a more convenient season. A few of the latter genus still remain, one-half of whom are manceuvring for Supervisors of Internat Revenue and the other half are mining and countermining for the Commissionership. It is probable now that even: these gentlemen will leave, as the revenue tangle does not show any near prospect of being straight- ened out, Mr. Rollins having gone to New Hamp- shire and the President meditating a tour in some direction in‘o rural solitude.
