What was deemed an impracticable Political experiment in 1776 has in this year of our Lord 1868 proven to be the solution of a sublime political problem—to wit, that man is capable of self-government, that a modern republican form of government can be as firm, powerful and enduring as that of any monarchy, and that the spirit of republican liberty is bound ere long to prevail most of the civilized world over. Tue Fatt Openinc.—The fall opening of the fashions and of the theatres antedated what was the real fall opening under the aus- ‘pices of Jack Frost last Saturday. During that day a terribly cold wind blew over New York from the north and the northwest. At inid- night the mercury had fallen as low as thirty- eight degrees. We heard of snow at Owen Sound, im Canada, where it was four inches deep; at Bangor in Maine, Concord in New Hampshire, Worcester in Massachusetts, ‘Rochester and Buffalo and Yorkville in this State, and even at Philadelphia and Harris- burg. Saturday night we were visited by a regular old fashioned October frost. But this frost will only have tinged the foliage of our forests with autumnal beauty. It will be speedily followed by that most delicious season of our American year, the Indian summer, and our unrivalled Park will then become more Sloriously attractive than ever.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 1865. The Proposed Reciprocity Treaty with the British Proviuces—Present Status of the Subject, So many contradictory statements have appeared regarding the position of the question of trade with the provinces of British North America and a settle- ment of the fisheries disputes and the free navigation of the river St. Lawrence that tt was considered Proper to obtain correct information upon the sub- ject. The matter stands thus:—Mr, Thornton, the British Minister here, addressed @ note to Mr. Seward in July last, calling his attention to the distressed condition of the people of Nova Scotia {n couse- quence of their exclusion from our markets consequent upon the termination of the recl- Procity treaty, and asking him to enter into negotiations. Mr. Seward referred Mr. Thornton's communication to Mr. McCulloch, the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. McCulloch re- Plied that, the treaty having been abrogated by the legislative branch of the government, he considered it would not be advisable to resume negotiations until! Congress should give some intimation of its desire that they should be reopened, and at the same time expressing bis (McOulloch’s) opinion that tt was forthe interest of the United States that the ques- tion of trade with the British Provinces should be adjusted in some definite manner. This correspond- ence was sent by Mr. Seward to the Committee of Ways and Means just before the July adjournment. In reply to an inquiry by members of the Committee of Ways and Means Mr. Seward informed them that he was ready to open negotiations for a mew reciprocity treaty whenever the committee should refer the subject to him. Messrs, Hooper, Allison, Logan, Maynard, Brooks and Niblack, of the committee, agreed to make such @ report and General Schenck was willing it should be made. Mr. Griswold was absent. The adjourn- ment, however, took place so early that there was no opportunity of putting the report before the House, and hence the matter goes over till the reas- sembling of Congress, with the knowledge that the Committee of Ways and Means are nearly unanimous upon the subject and that Mr. Seward will open ne- gotiations as soon as the committee are enabled to report. In the Senate the question has also been referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and it is known that the chairman, Mr. Sumner, is strongly in favor of negotiations, Mr. Sumner has frequently stated that he reported in favor of terminating the old reci- procity treaty, not because he desired a cessation of trade with the British Provinces and a reopening of the fisheries diMiculties, but because he did not con- sider the treaty as auffictently comprehensive or beneficial to the United States, and that he believed the proner course was to abrogate that treaty in- stead of attempting to paton tt up, and then Kezotiate @ new treaty of a comprehensive character, which should include manufactures and should be made in the interest of this country and not, as the former treaty more for a political object than as a com- mercial necessity. ‘Tho New Yerk City National Banks, Abstract of the quarterly reports showing the condition of the national banks of New York city on the morning of the first Monday of October, 1863:— Overdrafis ....... er 249, U. §. bonds to secure circulation, 42,296,950 U. 8. bonds to secure deposits. 4,049,000 U.

In aconversation with John Quincy Adams, who Was on the cars on his return home, be satd, “The Southern people were as loyal as any people in the North. The two races he found friendly disposed towards each other, and the negroes were peaceabie in all cases, except where they were incited or influ- enced by carpet-baggers, Nothing was calculated to do greater harm than the disfranchisement of the whites, which was more extensive than he ever had any {dea of, and if tho peopie of the North could see the condition of the South as he had, reconstruction Would soon go to the wall. The negro now ruled the South despotically, hut that could. not last, for when the people were properly appealed to on that question, the North would never submit that ten of our beat States verned by an {g- norant and somtbaroaroue race Ms .

He condemned the platform of the democracy more than the candidates, and ti a the only issue upon which they should have gone before the people was reconstruction. The finances and other matters should have been left for future settlement when peace aud the Union were restored, In reply to a Lager whether Frank Blairs letters and speeches id not Gere injure the democratic party, he’said he had not read_his speeches, but his head letter was certainly indiscreet ‘and had dat aged the party. He considered it, also very unfor- tunate that such men as Wade Hampton, Forrest and others like them ever participated in the campaiga, shongh of Hampton he had the highest opinion as a gentleman and a good citizen, who against his own wiil had been forced into politics, From the admin- istration of General Grant he had the best hopes that peace would be restored and that this question of negro domination and consequent. ruin in the South would be speedily disposed of, and that ere long we Would be again living under the constitution as it was. In regard to his own chances for the Governor- ship of Massachusetts, he said his nomination was more of a compliment to him than anything else. He had not the slightest expectation of being elected.

Mr. Rosenberg’s “Long Branch by Moone light.” Rosenberg’s painting of “Long Branch by Moon- light” has passed from his studio into the hands of @ purchaser. Mr. Derby has secured it as one of his leading attractions for the gallery of the Derby 4tbepewn, which he will shortly open. The artist has fepreséfited & coo! and fresh summer moonlight, with the quick and chafing breeze blowing from the sea and ruffling halr.and drapery among the usually thronging visitants of that favorite place of summer resort. The long Western man and the short city one, the fatr-haird damsel from the East and the chestnut-tressed girl from our own State, the lover and the man of fashion, the soldierly and the business Idler, the laughing maid and the teasing boy, are all mingled in this strangely novel painting in amanner which must stamp the painter not merely as an able artist but as one of decidedly most exceptional talent. The sky and distance—especially the hazy condition of the lower atmosphere— are rendered with @ fidelity to nature which is the more remarkable from its being evi- denced in @ composition which must necessarily take rank as @ figure painting. In addition, the whole of the drawing. with very little exception, is very flue, and when its various merits—we ought specially to mention its very palpable relief—are con- sidered, it must command a more detailed and less grudging praise at the hands of the critic than he ts ordinarily enabled to give any work in what 1s, at ali events 1 this country, a comparatively new line of art. We have formerly auluded to it cursorily while it was in progress, and muy frankly say that asa finished production it exceeds our icipations, warm as these formerly were, and more than justifies the large price which we jtand Mr. Derby paid the artist for it.

The words ‘of both poems are familiar as ‘household words.’ The two pictures appeal to strong natural feelings in all classes of the community.

The first picture had the merit of faithful resenting the home of the late Mr. Woodwort! e late Mr. Howard Payne was, angularly enough for the author of such apoem ag “Home, Sweet Home,” auring @ large portion of his life,a homeless man.

Manifesto of Disaffected Southern Politicians. Governor Seymour in Conference With the National Committee. DECISIVE DECLARATIONS ON BOTH SIDES. WASHINGTON, Oct, 18, 1868. Some prominent democratic politicians from the South and West have reached here to-day, and from conversations with them I gather that the change of front movement is not yet quite abandoned. They consider that much ts to be gained, even at this late day, by putting up new candidates, Provided Chief Justice Chase can be prevailea upon to co-operate in the movement and that Seymour and Blatr wilt with draw. About the latter point they seem to be thoroughly satisfied. ‘They assert that Governor: Seymour’s letter of resignation ts positively in the hands of some of his friends in New York city, and that General Blair has entrusted a similar letter to a friend out West, to be used in case Seymour's with- drawal is accepted. Both letters are said to be very decided in terms, and Seymour's declination this time is declared to be a positive finality. “No go back this time,” they assert, “with Seymour.” I do not know how true this is, but it appears to be well founded. In answer to all the objections argued against the movement they say this:— We know Judge Chase will work with us, He need neither assent nor dissent. He has no right to refuse to have his name used by the people in con- nection with the Presidency. If the people choose to nominate him he cannot be so ungractous as to decline. Again, as to the difficulty in getting the Democratic National Committee together, they reply that such a gathering is not necessary, It will be enough to have a working quorum of the Executive Committee, which consists of nine, who can bo got together inaday. No change of Presidential elec- tors is necessary. All that need be done fa simply to telegraph to the State organl- zations The fact that Seymour lair have withdrawn, and that the names of Aand B or Chase and Franklin, or Chase and Adams, have been substituted. Such a programme they are con- fident would be acquiesced in readily and heartily all over the country. Even supposing, they urge, Judge Chase cannot be élected—which they carnestly deny—the use of his name Will, at all events, help the democratic Congressional tickets and secure at least @ one-third of conservative members in the next House of Representatives. This is an object worth while trying for. The politicians who are working up the movement here will leave for New York to-morrow to urge Bel- mont and Company to accede to tlie new programme. One of the parties wrote yesterday to Mr. Belmont, appealing to him to co-operate in the plan, or at least to call together the executive committee for consultation. The leading Southern democrats who are now in the city have prepared the following peper on the Political situation, which they desire to spread be- fore the public. I send it to you just as it comes to hands. It is as follows:— Ever since the close of the war the Southern peo- ple have trusted their case implicitly to the demo- cratic party of the country; but they now see that the present party nominations and platform will be rejected by the people of the North and West,| Re- Hef is the supreme question for the South, and at the same time the highest interest of the whole country, and unless this reliet can be secured through their friends sooner or later they will be compelled to ac- om what they can obtain from. litical op) nts bitnded by the passions an terests Of party and largely controlled hy those who cherish towards Flier people feeiings of the bitterest hostility. y therefore feel justified in asking that their democratic friends make prompt efforts and sacri- fices to secure this relief, which lies in accepting the demands of the American people either from friends or from enemies. #Chief Justice Chase and General William B, Franklin would be friends, and the Chase platform, while democratic, embraces substantially all that American people demand of the South, Nothing is wanting, therefore, but that the demo- c Presidential electors already nominated be yess, if elected, to vote for these candidates, mour and Biair should throw the full weight of their influence promptly in that emt For our leaders to stand in the way of this Would be a cruelty to the South and a great crime against the weifare of this nation which political wire pullers might forgive, but which the people would in the nature of things terribly punish, ‘ith these candl- im appeatiag 1 the magnauimiy” of th people. of a magnan! 0! ol the North and West, and especially to the Union soldiers of the country, and imploring them to take the heel of power from the neck of a crushed, im- poverished and prostrate people, and give that Kn led ae A to the South, so essential to the jure-welfare of the whole nation, and so certain to ensure the lasting gratitude of those who ask that relief. hots May convictions, they appeal to their friends at the North and West for prompt and decisive action. It is said that before the late elections Governor Seyiuuur deotared his intention of positively resign- ing in case of the faliure of the aemuuary to reun. sylvania, Indiana and Ohio. A member of the Democratic National Committee wrote to Mr. Seymour some weeks ago, stating that there had been no meeting of that body since the ad- journment of the New York Convention, and that while Tycoon Belmont was luxuriously rasticating at Newport, the interests of the democratic party were entirely neglected. Belmont and his chums seemed, he wrote, to be depending upon the sublimity of the occasion, and trusting to luck and bad weather for the success of the ticket. The strongest efforts, he urged, were required to carry Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohto, for if those three States should be captured by the radicals, then the game might be considered up. To this Mr. Seymour replied, assenting to the conclusions of his cotrespondent, and promising to havo a big exertion made to carty those three States. Some of the democratic politictans here are abusing Belmont soundly for his alleged inertness, and charge him with even worse, for they say he has sold out to the enemy and that his continued refusal to summon the committee together is explainable on that theory, There really seems to be some bottom to the move- ment to-day, evidences appearing of concert of action and settled pians which before were lacking. By Wednesday next, it is expected, the plan will come to a head or be blown up like Butler’s powder boat. From that time to the day of election they consider there will be ample time to work the matter issue. for the Presidency in case of Mr. Seymour's with- drawal are without foundation. There is the best authority for saying that President Johnson has neither approved the proposition to withdraw Sey. mour’s natye gor intimated a wish to be nominated or willingness to acéept such @ nomination; but, on the contrary, has looked upon the proposition fora change of candidates as injurious and ill-timed. Interview Between Governor Seymour and Members of the Democratic National Com- mittce—Declarath Regurding Governor Seymour’s Wi wal. Urica, N.
