Registration Riots in Missouri. It seems that registration riots are occurring in Missouri, a State that is supposed to be free from the operations of the odious Reconstruc- tion laws of Congress. But we expect similar acts of violence will occur in nearly every State where the system of slavery recently ex- fisted and which naturally leaves the turbulent of the two races in a more bitter state of hos- tility than prevails in other or non-slavehold- {ng communities. The man who wasa bad ‘master before slavery was abolished will be s bad map to deal with the negroes now, and the negro who was a bad negro under a state of servitude will be a bad negro now that his freed condition gives him license to indulge his passions, We believe, however, that the leaders and masses of both races of native Southerners are disposed to become reconciled ‘to the new order of things and establish a sys- tem of government which will inure to their mutual benefit. It is mostly the bad masters, the bad savage negroes, the reckless Northern adventurers or the incorrigible bushwhackers and desperadoes who get up these riots and little wars on their own account, encouraged Sherein by the radical Reconstruction laws of Congress. Were it not for these laws the @cenes of anarchy and confusion which we are obliged to chronicle as occurring in the South would rarely be found in our columns. We @re sorry to see that this spirit, confined as we believe it to be, to the restless and unprin- ‘cipled classes we have mentioned, is breaking outin Missouri, a State which we have had Yeason to regard as fast settling down to a condition of acquiescence in the new order of things in relation to slavery and as becoming rapidly restored to her former position of won- erful prosperity. Witt. Some Ong Resign ?—The Hzpress, the Sun and several other journals are anxious that some one should resign. One calls upon Seymour, another upon Grant, to commit poli- tical hari-kari, and each gives cogent reasons for the sacrifice. But we, on the contrary, advise both of these distinguished persons to hold on. Grant, indeed, scarcely needs to be advised, inasmuch as he is proverbially in the habit of holding on. Tenacity is one of his main ‘pharacteristics, as his war record fully shows. ‘But Seymour must be encouraged. Evenin this boyhood, when his comrades used daily to him off the end of the bench, he used lisp- ly to complain that he couldn't “‘sthick on.” At the Convention he had such infinite trouble get the nomination that we adjure him, now what he has got it, to hold on to it to the last. ‘His holding on may keep the democratic party Straight and lay a good solid granite founda- tion for future action. Neither Seymour nor Grant should resign. Tae Muppie ABouT THE Finances.—Wells, Atkinson, Delmar, Washburne, and the stamp orators and press of both political parties have so muddled ¢he subject of our mational finances that they have made confu- ‘plon worse confounded. The whole matter is {plain enough and can be summed up in a few (words. The income from revenue is falling off ‘and likely to fall off more, from the disorgani- gation of the executive departments of the government, from the stupendous frauds and the reduction of taxes on manufactures. ‘Whe expenditures continue to be enormous, es- pecially in the War Department, and are ex- ceeding theincome. Mr. McCulloch’s large money reserve is rapidly wasting away and there is likely to be an empty Treasury before the end of many months. These are the gene- val facts, and all the talk and long-winded arti- cles published about our financial condition amount to nothing. Toe Latest WALL Street Rospery.—The denizens of Wall street are so intent upon ac- cumulating wealth that they seem to neglect the most ordinary precautions for securing the Areasures which they daily rake in, Another Anstance of their.carelessness is afforded by the @aring robbery on Friday, at noonday, of ten thousand dollars’ worth of bonds by a stranger ‘who was permitted to examine a Directory ig on the desk in which the bonds were lacedin a grocer’s office in Wall street. This was fully reported in our columns on Baturday, although it had not been reported at Police Headquarters at a late hour on the previous evening. The Wall street men have the credit of getting all they can; but will they never learn to keep what they get? 1 ACaxt Upon Mr. Purser.—Some time ago, as the agent of one of our Corporation rings, Mr. Georgo H. Purser threatened the removal {a fat job) of all the stoops on both sides of avenue as unlawful encroachments upon ‘that public highway. How is it, then, that we hhave no ring to look after the heaps of bricks, ortar, &c., which almost entirely block up street at the present time? A fat job is one thing anda public right which does not lpay is another. Is that the difficulty ? Tae Uxpercrounp RaiLroap Contracr.— The English engineers who built the under- ground railroad in London have obtained and andertaken a contract for the construction of the underground line which it is proposed to open in New York, and Mr. W.

Marshal Serrano, xccompanied by seven generals of the army, entered Madrid to-day in triumph. Great preparations were made for his reception. The streets and buildings, public and private, were superbly decorated, and a large civic and military procession escorted the General through the city. The houses, sidewalks and public squares along the Toute of the procession were crowded with citizens, who received Serrano ana the generals with the wildest enthusiasm. The procession was followed by a parade and re- view of the National Guard. Tnis was a great patri- otic display and was made the occasion of striking manifestations of the popular will, The troops carried side by side with their fags banners on which were inscribed, “Down with the Bourbons,”, “Sovereignty ofthe People,” ‘Religious Liberty,” “Free Educa- tion” and other mottoes of a similar character. At the termination of the review Marshal Serrano made a patriotic address to the immense multitude of citizens and solders, in the course of which he announced that he had united with General Prim in calling Marshal Espartero, the Duke of Vittoria, to the head of the State, The formation of a new Cabinet has been com- pleted. It is composed as follows:—Marshal Serrano, President; Castello, Minister of Commerce; Topete, Minister of the Marine; Aguirre, Minister of Justice; General Prim, Minister of War; Oloyaga, Minster of Foreign Affairs, and Madoz, Minister of Finance. Manuel de la Concha has been arrested. {Biographical sketches of the lives and eminent public services of the Marshal Duke de Vittoria— newly appointed head of the government of Spain— and of Marshal Serrano were published in the HERALD on the 25th of September.) Protest of the Ex-Queen. Paris, Oct. 4, 1868, Queen Isabella has issued a protest against the revolution ip Spain. The document argues that force used by rebels to depose the Queen does not injure her rights to the throne of Spain, and declares that the acts of a junta established by violence are not binding upon the people. ENGLAND. Contracts for the New York Underground 4 Railroad. Lonpon, Oct. 4, 1868. A contract for the construction of the under- ground railroad in New York bas been concluded with the English engineers who built the under- ground railway in this city, and they expect to enter upon the work at an earlyday.

The rumor ts current that the success of the revolu- tion in Spain has had the effect to induce France to mak esome important concessions to Italy. It ts known that Prime Minister Menabrea is expected in Paris, and the supposition is that he comes to conduct the negotiations rendered necessary by the alleged change in the policy of France.

Treaties with New Mexican Indians. Ex-Governor W. F. M. Arny reached here yesterday from New Mexico. He lately had an interview with the Utah, Picarrilla and Apache Indians in the un- explored country west of San Juan river, and his mission here ts to procure the ratification of the treaties which he has made with the Utah and Apache Indians. Operations of the Pension Oftice. The whole number of claims received during the month cf S2ptember at the Pensjon Oftce, original and increase, were:—Of widows, &c., 1,273; invalids, 1,449—total, 2,722, Number of claims admitted, orig- inal and increase:—Of widows, &c., 1,736; of in- valids, 623—total, 2,359. Number of claims rejected, original and in- crease:—Of widows, &c., 170; of invalids, 206— total, 376, Number of claims disposed of during September, 2,735; letters written, 4,348; circulars sent, 12,539, In the Bounty Land division, sixty-six warrants of 160 acres each were tssued, covering 10,560 acres. Original applications received, 87; letters written, 142; circulars sent, 184; claims suspended, 156; du- plicate warrants issued, 2, Number of claims dis- posed of, 2,735; recelved, 2,722. In addition to the foregoing, a large number of claims ‘for arrears of pension, under section six of the act of July 27, 1868, have been adjusted, of which no record has been kept. Indian Agriculture and Manufactures. Mr. S. N. Goodale, who has spent much time among the Indians for the purpose of assisting them in be- ing furnished with hand machinery and materials to enable the Indian women to fabricate portion of their own blankets, is now in this city. He reports that while there ts little disposition among many of the Indian tribes to cultivate the flelds, there is a growing desire among the squaws to engage in indus- trial pursuits. There is alarge increase in the manu- facture of sugar, sorghum, syrup and gloves and mittens, for the production of the ma- terials of which the women do all the work. They exhibit much taste and ingenuity, both as to design and coloring, in the fabrios which they weave by hand loom, and are apt scholars, and are perse- vering and industrious, Mr. Goodale, in his repre- sentations to the government, says the men will soon appreciate the value of the manufactured blankets, &c., as articles of sale, and this will stimu- ulate them to grow the wool, they being fited for the shepherd's life. Through the efforts now being made to encourage such industries it is believed that New England manufacturers will, at no distant day, receive large supplies from the Indian tribes, who now have a precarious and uncertain depend- ence on the chase. Indian Schools. Statistics in the office of Indian Affairs show an increase for the last year of twelve schools, twenty- nine teachers and fourteen missionaries in the Indian country. The amount contributed by all religious societies for education was an increase over the pre- vious year of only $1,164, while the increase by indi- vidual Indians for the same purpose during the same time amounted to $3,266. Minerals in New Mexico. Mr. Arny has with him some extraordinary speci- mens of gold, silver and copper ore, which had been discovered in the San Juan, Santa Fe, Cimaron and Ute Creek regions. He says that the country is filled with the richest ores in the world, but that they cannot be developed so long as the Indian tribes are permitted to ravage the Territories as they are now doing. The Indians expressed to him their willing- neas to dispose of this country and go on a reser- vation outside of the settlements, but positively de- clare they will not allow the white men in their country to mine or settle till they have a treaty with the government and the country is opened for set- tlements under the law. Baptism of the Heir te the Greek Throne. Letters have been received here stating that the baptism of the new heir to the Grecian vhrone, ac- cording to the rites of the Greek orthodox faith, was celebrated with great splendor in the Athenian cathedral on the 3d of last month.

Admiral Farragut was most cordially entertained at the Court on the same evening, and the next day the King and Queen visited the United States steam- ship Franklin, and remained there over three hours under the American flag. Assurances of friendship and sympathy were exchanged. The Athenians did everything in their power to show their admiration for the naval hero and their love and gratitude to the American people, who have always 80 generously succored them. The Admiral’s stay was one unin- ovation, The new Prince, who has re- ceived the name of Cons'antine, is also to bear the title of Duke of Sparta. Railroads in Greece. ‘The construction of three lines of ratiway travers- ing Greece in three different directions has just been conceded to a Belgian company.

Waliack’s theatre continues to attract large and fashionable audiences to witness the inimitable acting of Mr. J. W. Wallack and Mr. Charles Fisher in their respective in “Simon Bernard” and “Dearer than Life.” A new drama of thrilling interest is in active preparation at this estabilsh- ment, and on Thursday evening ‘Love's Sacrifice” is Fromised, with a powerful cast of characters. “No Thoroughfare,” as produced at the Broadway, 1s a success which does credit to the management, actors, scenic artists and all concerned, The piece * \ Dey ene RELIGIOUS. eee Plymouth Charck. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher preached yesterday in the forenoon to # large and fashionable ¢ongregation at Plymouth church, Brooklvn 75 took for his toxt: F in Jordan, confessing the z auvered 8 a ectial not the mere af BIS en ecomings and of- “and they were bér sins,” upon whit be to show that <onfession ~. in the ears of a PTiest of one’s shu... fences, but the prsctical exhibition of @ a. * spirit anda sincere repentance of one’s conacio~ wl habits of infirmity, was an eminently good and wholesome practice. He said there were many sins which men comnrit daily which they feel ashamed to acknowledge—sins which might be classed under the head of mesannesses—sins which fill the air lke the mephitic and impalpable es sence of a pestilence which — permeate the entire body social and sometimes like ® mania seize upon s whole community and even on a whole nation. It might be paradoxi- cal, but was nevertheless tru, that men were faetle in confessing their sinfulness, but not In confessing theirsins. One of the reasons is that men will not confess their sins where the confession confiicts with their vanity, pride, or inte! but they are never- theless ready for @ general admission of the sinful- ness of life. If sin only became conrmon, allowable and fashionable, then they have no objection to con- fesa. The general custom approves the vice, and men evince no feeling of shame in admitting their icipation in what the prevailing sentiment of the ime may be weak en: to endorse. There were pen instances of wh nations practising and persisting in wrong, but there were instances also where the tortw consciences of thousands re- volted against the enthralment of vice and error and told a grand confession of their sins. The Water atreet movement is an instance of a sudden revulsion from the ways of sin and death, and ayan exhibition of impulsive repentance and confession of wrong it ig one of the most extraordi- nary events that has.occurred, But then the parti- cular cause which {s predominant in this case may lead us to fear that the reformation of these men and women 1s not of a pecasnens character. it is nota little surprising that men in the very midst of their transgressions should thus stop suddenly short, and if there is anything to admire in it, it is that a soul away down in the depths of depravity should at one effort come boldly up to the level of virtue. Genuine reformation, however, in such instances must be continued through a long series of years. Confession, as the experience of the world demon- strates, is a hard task to most people. This man, ‘with all his show of piety, will not confess he slan- dered his neighbor’s character. That man wears @ garment of dececny to conceal hisshame. He deceives himself and hides out of sight in the receases of his heart the evidences of hissin. ‘-Confess your sins one to another” does not imply that one man shall tell in the ear of another the offences of which he bas been guilty; but if you have done wrong, or thought wrong, admit it, confess the fact and relieve your burdened soul. Conscience will sometimes cry out In spite of oneself; it will make itself heard even to the ears of others. Of course it would do no good for a man to go out in the streets shouting forth “I have been drunk; J have been drunk.”” Better for him that he should go quietly to work, put the inebriating bowl away from his lips and show in the subsequent tenor of his life the sin- has been mounted ina superb manner, and from first to last the audience never weary of the actin, as the interest in the prece is never permitted to fa; Mr. Florence's Obenreizer is a capital personatio: and bears evidence of careful study. The Lydia Thompson English soe, Combina- tion Company have suddenly become favorites with the American public, and are nightly delighting large audiences at Wood’s Museum with their local- izea_ version of the wickedest man in mytholory— “Ixion, or the Man at the Wheel.” The piece is one of the best of its kind that has ever been presented to New Yorkers, and will unquestionably have a long and successful run.

The new Bethel Mission of Plymouth church, sita- ated on Hicks street, near Fulton, Brooklyn, was formally opened yesterday afternoon, a large attend- ance of ladies, gentlemen and children connected with the mission being present, The exercises were interspersed with singing, reading the Scriptures and addresses. Mr. George A. Bell, Superintendent of the mission, read the Scriptures and conducted the exercises. A historical statement of the origin and growth of the mission was made by Mr. R. S Bussing. The school was established «in 1841, when they took an old stable on Main street and fitted it up fora school room. Soon after their organization Father Burnett took charge and Mr. Elwell acted as superintendent for one year. Very little progress was made for the following seven yeara, In 1848 the school was fortunate in electing Mr. A. A. Smith as the superintendent, for the result was the filling up of the school. Good teachers came in, weekly ayer meetings were established and the mission to prosper. In 1865 a room was engaged over the oid James street market, where they reruns for several years. They afterwards took a hall in Poplar street and tn 1862 Mr. Smith resigned and Mr. Bussing was elected as superintendent, The ‘school continucd to increase and they finally found it necessary to have a larger place. ferred to the circumstance of le then refe their attachment to Plymonth church, and remarked that the first subscription to their new building was made by Mr. J.

As the basis of exploration regarding “the @,2°2- ing of the sixth seal,’ the advortised subject of &° aftarnoon’s discourse, Bishop Snow, the veneriwie thowth modern expounder of ancient prophecies, took for his text the Revelations 6, xii, to xviL verses inclusive, These verses, he claimed, slowed and pnociaimed the final winding up of the may\ortal world. With this winding up of the affairs of ¢his world there were, however, promises to mank.\a@ involving their existence in the world hereatter,. 1 ¥6 proceedad to show how, after the fall of Adam, Go, € interposeal a special dispensation whereby he and his * descendants could obtain eternal life. He called this the Adamite dispensation, and next spoke of what he termed the patriarchal, Noahic, Abra- hamic, Mosaic and Gospel dispensations—six dispen- gations algogether. There was another dispensation, the seventh and final one in the list tofollow, Of the coming of this last dispensation there were abundant prophecies in the old and new scriptures. St, Pau called this dispensation the dispensation of the fulness of thetimes. The taking off the seven seals described in the Book of Revelations refers to this dispenia- tion. He described the opening of these seals and the developments that respectively succeeded. The opent the first seal signified peace, the second seal war, the third seal famine, the fourth seal lence and the fifth seal the martyrdom of the salnta, The opening of the sixth was followed by an earthquake. This was figurative language, @ sym- bol indicating a mighty convulsion of the kingdoms and governments of the worid, as the govern- ment of Spatu, for which God be thanked, was now being overturned, The speaker digressed here on one of the audience going out and urged that those who hated the truth would leave at once. ‘Go, go,’* said he, “we don’t want you here,” and as tne per- son leaving reached the door he hurled at nim “Go, ye cursed.’ Returning to the opening of the sixth seal he talked at trightful length, and no doubt with frightful effect upon some of the audience, of meteorio showers, cyclones and earthquakes. The sixth seal he insisted was now being opened. In stating this he wished to be understood as making no new reve- lations. He was not a woman and could not boast of new revelations. He only plainly interpreted the revelations of the Bible. =A morat night overshadowed the earth. Popery was gaining a stronger foothold every day. False religions were on the increase.

It is perbaps the occult working of retributive Justice that drives such intellectual phenomena as Henry Ward Beecher and Anna Dickinson to write novels, They have @ great bubble of reputation as persons of startling genius in virtue of the praise of deluded admirers; and though they would like apparently to live on that reputation yet they fall ia- to the folly of bringing their abilities to a simple test, and put pinholes in the bubble of their fame thu thi Pa eo tT ox daa their intellectual range to be not very nna’s novel amounts to this:—There was a young man of great wealth, social position, beauty, genius, and who was sound on the everiasting Sambo ques tion. He believed that the degraded position of the negro in the world was not due to his inferlority or to his failure to keep up with other men, but was the result simply of “prejudice.” It will be seom that this young man was just exactly as rational as Anna is, Then there was& young women, irresist- ibly attractive—a marvel of style, pride and spirtt— and who wrote for her school composition a thesis on “Slavery.” This fair creature was of dusky lineago— the daughter of a mulatto. But that did not appear among her acquaintance, and the young man was Born, eo in love with her without suspicion of adulterated blood. In other words, Miss Dickinson, for the sake of fancy, commits herself to the falai that two generations are sufficient to eradicate trace of ican descent. Naturally the giri’s de- scent became known and the young man’s only ob- jected to his taking a wife from that race of the many in our midst that has the largest share of bad qualities and the smaliest share of goodones, Never- theless the young man marries her in hia height of love and moral heroism, and then is killed by the mob in the _ riots. This, it will be seen, is the inevitable nigger coming up in the novel as he comes up everywhere else, and the novel is merely a jejune restatement of the now familiar thought that everything to which the ni r lovers object is the result of “prejudice.” There is nothing In the novel to give it character as a work of either constructive or picturesque art. It has neither dramatic power nor delineation of rs sonality. It has not even @ good narrative, and its dialogue 1s the last extremity of trite pert ness. Above all, startling as it looks at first glance, it is not even origin: The central thought, that passion recks not the outrage of any con- ventionality, {8 a8 old as love stories, and Miss Dick- ingon's phase of it is essentially identical with Dumas in the “Dame anx Cametias.”” Pata wi who ts a aoctal outcast by the vices and condition her race, in the place of the one who is @ social out- cast through her personal vices, and you have & all, Nothing ts ch: but the cause why each ip Miss ‘kinson an outcast. parodies Dumas, an@ as she belongs to the class of people with one idea, created some- she fits her idea in and fancies she has thing.
