Telegraphic advices from Mexico to the 23d ult. state that President Juarez had sent in a message to Congress presenting a cheerful picture of affairs in the republic. It is expected that Congress will ratify the treaties with the United States, The great torchlight demonstration of the democ- acy came off near Union square last night witha vivid display of pyrotechnics. In numbers and en- thusiasm it was the most complete suceess of the kind since the democratic fusion parade of 1859. Tammany Ball, where the great mecting was to be held, was filled at an early hour, letter was read from General McClellan, declining to preside at the meeting as he had determined to take no further part in the political cam; al- though professing an ardent attachment to the democratic party. He passed a cordial eulogium upon General Grant while repudiating the principles of the party that nominated him. General Baldy Smith was chosen chairman in his stead, and speeches were made by Messrs. Sanford E. Church, Heary C. Murphy, John T. Hoffman, Allen C. Beach, Richard O'Gorman and others. Outside there were numerous stands, where democratic rhetoric was Gispensed with a lavish hand by Jack Rogers, Cap- tain Rynders, Green Clay Smith and the leaser lights, Richard H. Dana, Jr., was nominated by the con- vention of republicans of General Butler's district who are opposed to the principles of the General. Resolutions were adopted denouncing General But- ler as misrepresenting the republican idea and as being ® personal enemy of General Grant. Mr. Dana, in being notified of his nomination, made a speech accepting it, Returns from municipal elections in Connecticut show ateaqy republican gains in most of the towns holding elections. Middietown and New London, which went largely democratic fast year, have elected part of the republican ticket. Norwich gains 210 on the republican majority last year and New Haven has elected the democratic ticket by 917 ma- jority, a falling off of 1,336 0n the democratic ma- jority of last year. ‘The election for officers of the school district In Mount Vernon, Westchester county, was held yes- terday. Mrs. McDonald and three other ladies of- fered their ballots at the polis, but were politely told that they could not vote, Some fiveor six votes which were cast for Mrs. McDonald and other ladies for trustees were thrown out in the count. General Butier has written another sharp letter in regard to the Ward-Atkinson opposition to his re- election. He offers a reward of $500 for evidence of the reported corruptions and conspiracies that are taking place, according to his own conviction, in his Congressional district for the purpose of upset- tog the republican party. In conclusion, General Butler asks the question,jwhat will happen to Atkin- son and Ward when the devil gets them? Four thousand stand of arms, consigned to Littie Rock, Ark., arrived at Memphis, Tenn., from St. Louis, yesterday. As it was believed they were in- tended for arming the negroes in Arkansas great indignation was excited among tle people of Memphis, and no boat for Little Rock would take them on any terms. Colonel Wynkoop reports that the Arapahoes and Cheyennes in bis agency had fed south of the Arkan- sas river. They numbered about twenty four hun- dred fighting men and were in a destitute condition through the scarcity of game. General Sully was in close pursuit, having been skirmishing with the rear lor three weeks.

Kellogg, of Alabama, and Judge Theodore Miller, of Hudson, are at the Metropolitan Hotel. The Spanish Revolution—A Grand Opening for Napoleon. The success of the revolutionary movement in Spain, accomplished so speedily and with so slight a show of opposition that it must have had the general sanction and support of the whole people, opens up a new era for that nation. Its effect, indeed, may well spread beyond Spain and extend to the entire Latin race of Europe. It furnishes to the French Emperor an opportunity of repeating, on a larger scale and without recourse to war, the game ¢0 skilfully played by Prussia under the management of Bismarck. That game resulted in combining the various nationalities of Northern Germany into one great Power, under a sort of federal organization of which the King of Prussia is head, with the republican title of President. This one may result ina like federal combination of the nations of the Latin race—France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, perhaps Belgium also— into one great Power, with Napoleon the Third as President. We do not say that the Emperor of the French has any such design at present. We merely express the opinion that if he would checkmate Prussia, as he desires to do, and carry out the great modern idea of bringing into one system of government the various peo- ples of each distinct race, no finer opportunity for doing so can ever be expected. From the temper of the Spanish people toward the late Queen and her family there does not appear to be the least chance for any of them being selected to fill the vacant throne. The choice seems to lie between the King of Portugal, Prince Amadeus Ferdinand and Prince Napoleon. The first and last are sons- in-law of the King of Italy, and the second is his son. This brings Victor Emanuel and his kingdom into the closest possible relations with and gives him the deepest interest in the ques- tion of the Spanish succession. His obligations to the Emperor of the French, to whom he is indebted for his kingdom, and the influence which Napoleon wields in European politics will serve to make the latter the real master of the situation. Following out the plan adopted by himself in France, the choice of a ruler will probably be left to the popular vote—the plé- biascite in Spain. * It is not venturing too much, however, to predict that the candidate who will have the support of the French Emperor will be the successful one. That candidate will be almost certainly one of the three whom we have named. His elevation to the Spanish throne will be a bond of union between the rulers of France, Italy, Spain and Portugal; and it is certainly in accordance with the spirit of the age and with the example set by Germany that the people of those countries, identical in origin, in religion, in language almost, and occupying contiguous territory, should be grouped together into one imperial republic, of which the French ruler should be the Presi- dent. Aglance at the map of Europe will show the importance of this combination. Assum- ing the annexation of Belgium, in which the French is the prevailing language, the terri- tory of this Latin republic would extend from the mouth of the Rhine nearly due south through the Adriatic Sea to the Mediterranean, without stopping to take into account the French colonies in Africa. In other words, it would comprise the whole southwest of Europe, the region of vines and olives, of oranges and citrons, of silk and cotton. It would contain a population of about eighty-eight millions (French forty, Spanish and Portuguese twenty, Italian twenty-five, Belgian three), or about one-third of the entire population of Europe. Its shore would be washed by the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the English Channel and the Adriatic. Its military power by land and sea would place it pre-eminently first among the nations of the world. Its revenue, on the basis of that now collected in those countries, would amount to six hundred and fifty millions of dollars, Its expenditures might be dimin ished to an extent that would redeom Italy and Spain from bankruptey and place the general finances ona sound basis, because the inhe- rent military power of the republic would be an all-sufficient guarantee of peace and would permit a general or at least partial disband- ment of the army. In every aspect, of peace or of war, the importance of the movement called to the stand on Saturday night. He testified to having examined the intestines of the body of Mrs. Gamble without finding sufficient poison to occasion death. The argument in the case of John Morrissey against Z, B. Simmons anil others, a suit in relation to twenty-six and @ half shares in 4 common lottery which we are outlining cannot be overestl- mated, Is there any improbability that this grand scheme of empire or something approximating to it will be carried out? Difficulties there may be in it, as there aro in all groat movomonta, but none that cannot be removed. It is so ob- viously the interest of all the nations concerned that, while proserving their local self-govern- ments, they should form one united Power in all that appertains to their foreign affairs, their trade, commerce, customs duties, finarces, army and navy, that the assens of the mpsses of the people may be safely caleutsted on. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1868.—TRIPLE SHEET. The British Prees on the Obinese Embassy. If we may judge from the language and spirit of the British press on the Chineso Em- bassy, and particularly from the organ of the Disraeli Cabinet, Mr, Burlingame will have the cold shoulder held to him ip England, In- deed, up to this time he has been treated | with © the greatest indifference, an’ even palpable insanity of the republicans by ex- hausting all their powers in a cent per cent argument about bonds, gold and greenbacks.” He tells us that the Chicago platform says nothing about the constitution, that ‘‘states- men have abandoned the constitution,” and that the Union can be restored only by return- reignty, including the right of secession, shall be, as it was, the supreme law. The demo- What if the proposition should not meet the favor of other nations? They might grumble, but they would be powerless to prevent. Be- sides, a8 we have intimated, the me herein outlined is in keeping with the double tendency of the age—towards grouping the various nationalities of each race, where they are territorially contiguous, into one govern- ment, and towards liberalizing polit insti- tutions. We see evidences of the first in the Pan-Slavonic, Germanic and Scandinavian movements to effect a unity of govern- ment; and we see evidences of the stcond in the gradual abandonment by European na- tions of their antiquated dogmas about mon- archical rights and in the recognition| of the opposite, the American principle of popular rights. In fact, the two ideas go together. No people will voluntarily abandon their na- tionality to be absorbed into a greater nation unless they can retain their own local institu- tions and local forms of government, and when they do this the divine right of kings ceases to be recognized and the right of the people to choose their rulers is substituted for it. Whether the title of the ruler be president, king or emperor, the rule is republican, In the case we are supposing France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium might retain their present modes and forms of govern- ment, while the whole combined would con- stitute a republic. We know that the great Napoleon, with his wonderful powers of obser- vation, foretold that Europe would become either Cossack or republican. His prediction is in course of being verified. The march of the Russian power is in Asia; Europe is being republicanized. Ben Hill, of Georgia, Constitution. We publish to-day a letter from the Hon. Ben Hill, of Georgia, on the political situation, from which it appears that both our great political parties in the North are off the track. Mr. Hill says that while the great and over- shadowing question of the day is whether, with all the late slaves of the South set free, ‘‘this great system of government can be again made harmoniously stable and the freedom of the white race maintained and of all races perpetu- ated?” Mr. Hill says he finds ‘‘the republi- cans meeting this great question by proposing to maintain and perpetuate measures which are outside of the constitution,” &c., and that he “finds the democrats meeting this most with -intimations that he will be utter!¥ ignored as the envoy of China. Mr. Burlin- game is sneered at as a Yankee and his mis- sion as ‘‘a Yankee trick.” British pride and conceit have been touched to the quick by the appointment of an American citizen to repre- sent the empire of China. This is the sort of love England has for America and Americans, and we call Mr. Reverdy Johnson's attention to it. This jealousy of and hatred to America are intensified by the fact that the Burlingame mission, which has been approved of and rati- fled by the United States, upsets the whole British policy with regard to China and the East. Should the government of England act towards the mission as the press speaks and as the official organ indicates there is a very serious difficulty looming up between that country and this. The policy inaugurated by the treaty made here lately between China and the United States is sure to come in conflict with the old British policy on Chinese territory. We shall not permit England to treat China as she has treated Hindostan—to coerce the Chi- nese and swallow up their territory piece by piece. We are bound to see that the inde- pendence and integrity of that great empire, numbering» more than a third of the human race, be maintained. By the treaty made with us China has entered into the family of civil- ized nations and must hold that position in perfect equality hereafter. The next war be- tween this country and England will be fought, probably, in Chinese waters and on the soil of China, and we may be nearer that than many suppose. In our domestic war the com- mercial marine of this country suffered terri- bly, chiefly through the unfriendly action of England, and the British shipping more than doubled. A war on the Chinese question would reverse that state of things and would enable us to fulfil our destiny by absorbing all North America. The future is evidently not so rosy and peaceful as Mr. Reverdy John- son and Lord Stanley would make it appear. The Hon. on the The Haytion Man-of-War Galatea. From a cable despatch published in this morning’s HERALD it will be learned that the Haytien man-of-war Galatea, so well known in New York waters for some months back, had arrived at Petit Goave, in the bay of Gonaives. She attacked the two rebel war vessels Sylvain and Liberté, both of whose crews destroyed the vessels sooner than allow them to be captured. This is s loss to the rebels, it is true; but not so great a one as would at first appear. Both vessels had been captured from Salnave’s forces. Considering the large and powerful armament that was taken aboard at this port by the Galatea just before her sailing, some few weeks ago, we can- not but be surprised at her not having made a haul in the engagement in Gonaives Bay. On the other hand, the rebels must have little enterprise, or this Galatea might have been made a prize before reaching Haytien waters. But what else is to be expected of the degene- rate race that peoples that and its neighboring black republic ? The President had taken three hundred men aboard of the Galatea and sailed to bombard Miragoine. If the rebel cause has not lost its popularity the revolutionary party can yet capture the Galatea as they did the other ves- sels, and probably Salnave with her. ing to the constitution. In fact, the constitu- tion is the text and argument of Mr. Hill, and he contends that nothing else will give us peace and sectional harmony. ‘ Very good. But what constitution is it, Mr. Hill? Do you mean the ‘‘constitution as it was" or ‘‘the constitution as it is?”—for, after all, this is the main question. If you mean the “constitution as it was,” then you demand that the war shall go for nothing and that the Union shall be as it was under Buchanan, excepting the actual abolition of slavery ; that State sove- cratic platform issued from Tammany Hall proclaims all the reconstruction acts of Generat MoCLetian AND THE Demooracy.— Congress ‘unconstitutional, revolutionary | How does General McClellan stand towards and void.” This, it may be logically the parties that have the future of the coun- try in dispute? No one would fail, we suppose, ‘in respect for any man’s silence, if a man wishes to be silent, but with the democracy and their brass bands claiming a distinguished soldier, and the soldier saying nothing, curios- ity will inevitably press certain queries. Is General McClellan's silence of the kind that “consents” in view of the democratic claim, or is it of the kind that merely does not wish to be rude in plain speech towards former asso- ciates? Is he forGrant or Seymour? It is a less crime to be wrong than to be neutral in con- tests in which the welfare of the country is at stake ; and in this view it may be doubted if any public man has morally the right to withhold such force as his name would give to the national cause. It would be the last blow to the Seymour men in Pennsylvania if McClellan were positively known to be the other way, and it would give a new fling to the detractors of the soldier of Antietam if it could be known that he was arguing pros and cons which side he would pronounce for. He ought to come out straighforwardly and not Jet his name be used where he cannot approve the use. held, includes the constitutional amendment, Article XIV., establishing equal civil rights and certain conditions of suffrage and repre- sentation, &c., and also the amendment incor- porated as Article XIIT., abolishing and inter- dicting slavery ; for if the one be unconstitu- tional because of the Southern ratifications resulting from the reconstruction acts of Con- gress, the other must be so from the coercive reconstructive policy of the President adopted in the absence of Congress. We dare say, therefore, that the constitution demanded by Mr. Hill means the constitution of 1861, in which Mr. Buchanan could find no authority to coerce a seceding State. But we can tell Mr. Hill why the Northern democracy do not care to fight just now for that constitu- tion. It is because of the lessons taught them on this subject in the Northern elections of 1863, '64, '65 and '66 ; it is because the North- ern democratio leaders do not care just now to make a fight upon the constitutionality of the amendment interdicting slavery, nor against that other amendment, Article XIV., unani- mously approved by the Northern States in 1866 by heavy popular majorities and declared in 1868 by the Secretary of State, by Congress and by Chief Justice Chase, of the Supreme Court, officially part and parcel of the federal constitution. We have only to say, in conclusion, to Mr. Hill, that before he can rightfully demand of the republicans or the democrats a battle for the constitution he must tell them what con- stitution he means—the constitution of Bu- chanan or the constitution proclaimed by Mr. Seward as Secretary of State and recognized by Andy Johnson, We incline to the opinion that this constitution will hold good, inasmuch as the official vouchers of the Secretary of State have so far been the law to the Supreme Court in the matter <7 constitutional amend- ments. At all events it will be useless for Mr. Hill to waste any further ammunition on the constitution until he distinctly defines the con- stitution he wants. Reverpy Jounson In ENGLAND.—Our new Minister to England, Mr. Reverdy Johnson, is making himself ridiculous and lowering the dignity of his position. The British have no love for this country, watch its progress with intense jealousy, and never lose an oppor- tunity to throw themselves in our path. What sickening twaddle and humbug, then, is all this after dinner talk about the relationship of the two nations and the affection of England for America! There is other ahd more serious business for Mr. Johnson to attend to, and, judging from the tone of the British press on the Chinese Embassy and question, it will not be long before both he and Lord Stanley as well as the English press will change their tone. Tur Progress or THe Spanish Revoiv- TION. —The revolution in Spain up to the present moment has been satisfactory in the extreme. All things have gone on well. To liberals all over the world it must be a source of gratifica- tion that the veteran Espartero has been named chief of the State. Now that the capi- tal is in the hands of the revolutionary generals and that the ‘‘sovereignty of the people” has been proclaimed interest will centre in the election of the Constituent Assembly. It is not beyond the power of that assembly to name Espartero permanent chief of the State or First President. Which- ever course be ultimately adopted the public will await with wnxioty the assembling of the Cortes, Tae New York Unperorouny Raunoap.— A cable despatch states that a contract has been concluded with the English engineers who built the London Underground Railway for the construction of the road from Cham- bers street in this city to Westchester, author- ized by our last State Legislature. The con- tractors are ofcourse practical men, with ex- perience in the building of underground roads, and 60 we may reasonably expect that the work will be entered upon without delay and pushed vigorously forward. The sooner we have this impartant queation of the best mode of locomotion for New York definitely settled the better. Relief for South Americ. The heartronding scenes and the misery that accompanied the earthquake of August 13 on the west coast of South America muss ouch the tenderest chords in American bearts. is scarcely necessary to allude to the aid which was sent from the United States for the relief of Ireland at the time of the famine in 1947 to show how the native goodness of the American pecple acts in such cases. The distress created by itis Southern convulsion is, perhaps, not so great as in the case of Ireland, but that matters not. It suffices for us that there is distress, and there is no need of reminding Americans of what their present duty is. All that is required is to impress on them now that their relief should be speedily afforded. We are bound by commercial ties with South America; hence our own interest demands that we, be ahead of nations further removed from thé scene of distress than ourselves. As the centre of the New World’s commerce New York should be foremost and prompt. Our country is the home of philanthropy, and New York is the heart of America. Let the ready and efficacious pulsations of that charitable heart force a lively response from all sections of our Union. Americans and republicans are in distress—afflicted from the hand of God. PraocTicaAL PatLaNturopy.—The Catholic Synod has promulgated the decree of the Plenary Council at Baltimore urging the im- mediate establishment of schools for eolored children in the Southern States and also of asylums for orphan colored children. This is @ praiseworthy step in the path of practical philanthropy. The number of orphan colored children has fearfully incroased during the great social revolution which is still in progress in the South, and it strongly appeals to the pro- verbial charity of the Catholic Church. Catholic teachers, moreover, possess exceptional quali- fications for the training of children of every class, and those who will be designated to teach the Southern colored children will be far more likely to educate and instruct them in such a way as to fit them for happily fulfilling the duties of the station in life in which Provi- dence has placed them than the Yankee schoolmistresses whose only experience in teaching has been confined to the schools of New England. Dinah will be taught to cook and sew, and Sambo to hoe and plough, as well as to recite, parrot-like, the alphabet and the mul- tiplication table. Both Dinah and Sambo will learn that they have duties no less important than their newly acquired rights. Tae APPROAOHING Episcopal. CoNVEN- TI0N.—To-morrow there is to be a grand Episcopal convention in old Trinity. The clothes question wil! be much discussed. It seems to us that these clerical gentlemen would be better employed making surplices than wasting precious time in fruitless discus- sion about wearing them. They resemble no class of people so much as women’s rights women. The one in petticoats and the other in breeches, it would be difficult to distinguish the Episcopal clergy from the women or the women from the Episcopal clergy. Butter For Conersss.—It is announced that Richard H. Dana will accept a nomina- tion for Congress from the bolting republicans and tag, rag and bobtail of all parties who desire to beat Ben Butler, and will contest the district with that remarkable hero. This is all wrong. If Dana and his friends hate radi- calism the wisest thing they can do is to ellow Butler to go back to Washington. He will carry the radical party to perdition with greater speed and more certainty than any other man, CONNECTICUT TOWN ELECTIONS. Large Republican Gains in New Haven, Nore wich and New London. HartForD, Oct. 5, 1868. The election to-day for town officers resulted in the success of the democratic ticket by 738 majority, which is about the same as last spring, counting the relative gains and losses of both parties. The proposition appropriating $500,000 from the town treasury in aid of two new railroad projects is carried by a large vote. The following is the result of the vote:—For Connecticut Western Road, 4,028, against 319; for the Connecticut Valley Road, 4,094, against 515.

Election in Mi: Vernon—Ladies Ex- cluded from the Polls. ‘The annual election for oMcers of School district No. 40f Mount Vernon was held last evening. At the opening of the polls Mra, Macdonald, Mrs. Far- rand, Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs. Thirsa Clark entered in a body and offered their ballots, when Mr. Philip Lu7as, Jr., one of the inspectors, cited the State law to show that male citizens only were entitled to votes, whereupon Mra. Macdonald facetiously remarked, “Yes, drunk or sober, that the gentlemen had treated herself and the ladies with her with marked courtesy, for which they desired to thank the gentie- men.’ As the ladies retired from the hall Mrs. Mac- donald remarked that they would not disgrace the itiemen, which elicited a laugh amd some sarcas- 10 observations.
