Captain General Lersundi had an interview with De 1a Keintrie, the American Consul at Havane, a few days ago, in regard to affairs connected with the insurrectionary movements in Cuba, The Consul stated that some American citizens might be Lmpli- cated in the movement, a8 they generally favored republican institutions, and if they were captared and should be tried and dealt with in a manner that shouid create a suspicion of foul dealing the United States government might be unable to prevent fill- bustering expeditions against the island. The Cap- tain Genera! said all prisoners would be allowed to consult with counsel and would be dealt with ac- cording to the civil law in the case, The Consul subsequently determincd to ask for the presence of @ United Siates man-of-war in Havana, but on pre- paring a telegram for the purpose the Captain Gen- eral requested him not to send it, as it would en- courage the discontented.

Field, of Providence; Judge Bockus, of Saratoga, are at the Metropolitan Hotel. General W. F. Smith anf Genera! W. B, Franklin, of the United States Army, are at the Coleman House, The General Results—The President Elect and the Radical Faction. The general results of the late elections throughout the Union are the election of Grant and Colfax asour next President and Vice President by two-thirds of the electoral vote, and by, say, two hundred and fifty thousand majority of a popular vote of perhaps five millions ; the election of a large republican majority, though not a two-thirds vote, of the next House of Repregentatives; the loss of New York to the victorious party and the re-election of General Ben Butler to Congress by a tremendous majority. At the first glance the popular majorities of General Grant in most of the Northern States are somewhat astounding, but they admit of an easy interpretation. The republicans for their candidate had the most popular man in the United States. The democratic ticket and platform were, trom their rebel affiliations, not only weak but extremely obnoxious to the great Union party of the war. The October elections, though comparatively close, in set- tling the main question demoralized the de- mocracy outside of New York and relaxed their efforts for November, while this fore- shadowing of Grant’s election brought over to the republicans a considerable body of floaters. Lastly, the day was unusually fine over nearly the whole country—a great advantage to the republicans. All these causes operated to swell their vote, and yet with any other candi- date than General Grant they would have been defeated, and even against Grant as the repre- sentative of radicalism, the democracy might have won the day under the banner of Chief Justice Chase. General Grant's popularity as the great vic- torious Union champion of the war has saved the party in power for another Presidential term. fn the elections of 1867 the popular tide had turned against the ruling radicals, and nothing but the name of Grant and a cam- paign upon the issues of the war could have saved them from a crushing defeat in 1868. The election of Grant and Colfax, then, does not involve an endorsement by the people of the extreme measures and programme of the ruling radicals of the present Congress; but it does involve a verdict from the people in favor of a more conservative and conciliatory policy. General Grant was not the choice (except as Hobson’s choice) of the ultra-radical faction. They fought him off as long as possible, and @ lest they adopted him only from sheer necessity, The people have elected him in view of a new departure; they look to him for a new policy, and it is not only his right but his duty to take his position accordingly in his inaugural address and in the selection of his Cabinet, and broadly and definitely in bis first message to Congress, We class the re-election of Butler among the general results of this national fight, for it fa a result of a much broader scope than his Congressional district. His re-election in- volves @ movement on the part of the Massachusetts radicals to make him the leader of the next Congress, as the very man of all men to take the place | ‘The election agony is over, The public Butler has been anyiin. yy mows that General Grant, and it is know., "ToIPPer of all men in the present Congress Butler has proved the best qualified, from his peculiar character, to succeed “Old Thad.” . We saw this on the impeachment trial, in which Butler, thoogh placed behind Bingham and Boutwell, took the posftion, from the sheer force of his indomitable will and superior abilities, as the chief manager of the prosecution, Such a man, in view of the circumstances of his re-election, will be apt to assume the leadership in the new Congress, and to persist in his demand at the risk of o disastrous mutiny inthe party camp like that which resulted from the efforts of the old democratic Southern oligarchy to supplant Douglas in the Senate and put him in the back- ground, ML WHY CVO og . reference to General Gea quostion peesénted in hold the radical faction of Congress in check or submit to its demands. He has said that he will have no policy of his own to push against the willof the people; in which we have a sly hit at President Johnson; buta clear understanding of the will of the people will still enable Grant to maintain the dig- nity and the constitutional rights of his office much more successfully than they have been maintained by John- son, The people have not approved the radical processes of Southern reconstruc- tion, and they expect some wholesome reforms in the enormous corruptions and abuses which have marked for the last few years the collec- tions and disbursements of the Treasury. In short, having rewarded to the utmost General Grant for his great services in the field, and having given him their fullest confidence as the proper man to repair the blunders of Johnson and of Congress, the people expect him to avoid both extremes and to give us a sound, progressive, decisive and yet conciliatory and conservative administration. Meantime the democrats, with New York, the Empire State, as a base of operations, have secured a strong position for a reorganization of their forces for 1872. The Situation in Spain. In the Heratp of yesterday we published a number of letters from our special correspond- ents in Spain—letters in which we have 9 fuller and more detailed account of the situa- tion in that country than has appeared in any journal on either side of the Atlantic. In Paris, according to another correspondent, English and American readers were more in- debted to the New York Heratp for news and intelligent reviews of the Spanish revolution than to allother sources combined. This, how- ever, is no longer a novelty, Our enterprise in connection with the Abyssinian expedition astonished Europe and the world, and com- pelled the admission everywhere that as the American people were the most advanced in enterprise of all peoples on the face of the earth, so was the New York Heratp in ad- vance of all journalism. We take to ourselves no praise. It is our business-to give news and to give it as intelligently as possible. The situation in Spain isdfi many respects peculiar, It is certainly deeply: interesting. As wehave sald again and again, Spaniards | are entitled to great praise for the quiet and dignified manner in which hitherto they have conducted the revolution. Whatever may be in store for Spain, however matters may be complicated or bungled, history wil] be com- pelled to admit that up to this date the revolu- tion has been a'success. It is an old saying, however, that it is more easy to pull down than to build up. It has ever been 20; it ever will be so. The pulling down process has been easy in Spain. The building up pro- cess promises to be more diffic Spain has dethroned her Queen, exiled the Bourbons and set her heel on despotism. The victory is com- plete, and the long oppressed people hold jubilee, The jubilee, however, cannot last. The nation is bankrupt, the harvest is bad, the peoplé, are starving, there is virtually no government, and terrible reality cannot much longer be concealed. It will out, and Spaniards of all ranks and classes must look facts in the face. In other words, the whole question of reconstruction has yet to be grap- pled with, and grappled with in by no means favorable circumstances, The letters of our correspondents make it abundantly plain that Spaniards do not exactly know what they want, Some are for a republic and some are fora kingdom. The republicand the kingdom are equally beset with difficulties. Every- thing now depends on the elections which are soon to come off. If the national representa- tives can act harmoniously Spain may easily get over all her trouble. If they cannot agree it is impossible to foresee what trouble is in store for that country. What with unionists and progresistas, monarchists and republicans, Carlists and Isabellos, not to speak of the church party, Old Spain has enough on hand. Still it must be said that the Provisional gov- ernment at Madrid so far is getting on re- markably well. In the disgussion of Grant's Secretaries we have heard Sherman named as the man for the War Departmept ; but we rather incline to the thought that Sherman should be made General of the Army and that Schofield should stay in the War Office, a place in which he fite won- derfully well. Porter will doubtless be Secre- tary of the Navy, as he ought, and for Secre- tary of State we will be sattsfied with eliher Charles Francis Adams or Motley. For an office in which the national character may be maintained abroad by clear thinking, strong speaking and enlarged views of national polity, such & shallow pate as Sumner must not for a moment be named. Doubtless the South should appear at the council board, and Holden, of North Carolina, might have a seat as representing the Department of the Interior. Anybody may have the Post Office that is satisfactory to Grant. New York, as the great financial centre of the nation, is entitled tohave the head of the Treasury, .and there could not well be a better head than Henry G. Stebbins, a practical maa ahd a financier of enlarged views. Tux MOUNTAIN AND THR Movst—The ¢re- mendous uproar of the grand Tammany Con- vention about a change in the powers that be, ending in Hoffman's election as Governor, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1868.—TRIPLE SHEET. i snl one >icss estore a mal ee RS Now for.a Revival of Business.

In every point of view, then, there is reason to expect public tranquillity and the end of our political and sec- tional troubles. This happy state of things will be felt in all tho business and industrial interests of the country. We may confidently look now for a TOVive. « and ni breadth of WHS "iindbronghout, the length city, which is the centre of trade. The Ameri- can mind is intensely active, and when freed from political excitement will find occupation in business enterprise and industry. The South will increase its energies in planting, so as to restore its mate prosperity and to become independent in everything required to sustain life; the agriculture of the West will be stimu- lated; the manvfactures of the Hast and North will take a fresh start; mining and railroad enterprises will be promoted, and our mercan- tile and shipping interests will feel the general impulse of peace and prosperity. The trade of New York and the rush of people here will be far greater, probably, within the next six months than has ever been known before. The world has been as- tonished at the recuperative power of the United States after going through the most terrible and exhaustive war ever wit- nessed. It is surprising even to ourselves. Lookj for example, at the South, utterly desolated atid impoverished, its implements and appliances of industry destroyed or worn out and its whole labor system revolutionized ; yet it raised last year # crop of cotton worth over two hundred millions of dollars, bedides fine crops of sugar, tobacco, rice and enough of other produce to live upon. But we shall see now a still greater development of our won- derful and varied resources throughout the whole republic. The truth is, there is no limit to the growth, wealth and industry of the country, Still muth depends upon the action of the government: hereafter. We shall have, as we said, afresh and good start with the settle- ment ot the political excitement and election of General Grant to the Presidency ; but the prosperity of the country may be retarded by unwise legislation or a bad administration or advanced by wise measures. The new Presi- dent and Congress should turn their attention to the financial situation of the country and to relieving the people of the present enormous weight of taxation. Taxes to the amount of four hundred millions a year in time of peace cannot and will not be borne. Such taxation is monstrous. From two hundred to two hun- dred and fifty millions a year would be ample. The current expenses of the government, in- dependent of the interest on the debt, ought not to be over seventy-five toa hundred millions, including pensions and everything else. The expenditures of the government must be brought down a hundred and fifty to two hundred millions. Then the whole revenue system ought to be changed so as to bear lightly upon industry and the industrial classes. Revenue should be raised from a few articles of luxury only and from the wealth of the country. There should be a uniform ad valorem tariff. At present the system of raising revenue, both by internal taxation and duties, is cumbrous, com- plicated, very costly and oppressive. It might be simplified so as to cost not a third of what it now costs. The army of hungry and thieving officeholders in the Internal Revenue Department and Custom Houses might be reduced to one-fourth the number and a more vigilant eye kept upon those that wonld, jin. The national banks, which are devouring nearly all the profits of industry, should be abolished or be reorganized so as to make them give up the twenty millions a year which they now draw from the govern- ment and public through their circulation, The bondholders should be made to beara proper share of the public burdens, The na- tional debt should be consolidated and the in- terest reduced, and it should be either utilized or put under a process of liquidation. The American people will not be burdened with perpetual debt. It would be contrary to their views and habits and to the spirit of our insti- tutions. Then, with regard to the currency, any attempt to contract that, as the resump- tion theorists advocate, would create general bankruptcy and paralyze the business of the country. We should suffer more than the British did when the government, yielding to the clamors of the bondholders and capitalists, attempted to force specie payments after the wars with Napoleon, because in this vast coun- try and with its widespread interests there is agreater necessity for an ample circulating medium. Contraction of the currency would ortly be of benefit to the bondholders, national’ banks and large capitalists. The mass of the community would suffer. It would make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Let General Grant, then, prepare to comprehend these great and vital questions of taxation, finance and currency, in order that his administration may not be used for the benefit of a privileged few, but that it may be a blessing to the whole people. thirds vote is to overcome vetoes, and since thy majority, having its own President in power can sea%cely expect many vetoes. majority having its own President may % interpreted in different ways. Grant is cet tainly not the Prowdent of the radical choir and if the party in tna majority is as ox*¢me in its tendencies as it wa>in the Fetfeth Cor- gress it may find that the President it was compelled to nominate is an Eyecutive it will ve compelled to respect, fadioul'-m there cannot be that harmony that pupposes @ Plc... for beiweent OF party projects ; 38 Namie ers in such projects and aiasteotive is no sympathy and no common understand... The position of the republican party is pe culiar in this respect. Butler is the real repub- lican leader in Congress. He will not only claim and assume the position with all that aggressive audacity which has distinguished his conduct everywhere but in battle, but.a large following in Congress itself will in all probability concede that he has fairly won it. An irresistible fact is that in full view of his course on impeachment, and opposed by a con- servative republican, he is returned by a very large majority in a State that gives the largest proportionate majority for Grant. He is the best expression of the radical spirit, and will force himself. to the front place. What sort of relations can there be between this republican leader in Congress and the so-called republi- can President in the White House? More than this, the outside exponents of radicalism accept Grant quite as little asthe hero of Fort Fisher is likely to, All men remember how absolutely Grant’s nomination was forced down the unwilling throats of the radical doctrine pedlers in the republican press, from Wendell Phillips to Theodore Tilton, With the irascible character of these people and their dictatorial spirit it is hardly possible they can avoid collision with the great captain, who will not be driven by them, and is not likely to accept their visionary views of national policy, and who will relentlessly put down all their corrupt practices. Grant is not the property of any party, nor the President of any party. He was nomi- nated for the Presidency by the HERALD, was forced upon the republicans by the popular response to that nomination, and has been elected without opening his mouth. He has no debts to pay, and has the opportunity, as we believe he has the principle, to show by his conduct adhesion to the grand idea that parties are done with the day after the elec- tion. He will be the President of the whole nation. As such he will collide with the radical machine, and there will be vetoes inevitably. The democratic seventy-five will therefore bo an important quantity, and it may rest with these members to shape the course of the coming Congress. President Johnson and the Corruptions of the Treasury Department. We have reason to believe that President Johnson is about to signalize the close of his administration by a coup d'état that will astonish the country and create a profound sensation from Maine to California, wherever the name and fame of whiskey rings and reve- nue frauds have reached. Some short time ago Solicitor Binckley, with the consent and approval of the President, commenced a prose- cution before a United States Commissioner in this city, embracing in its scope the heads of the Internal Revenue Department. This move- ment apparently failed; but there is reason to believe that it was designed simply as a pre- liminary skirmish, and that it fully answered the desired end. Its object was to take sound- ings prior to entering the main channel of in- vestigation, and to discover exactly what officials were favorable to a thorough scrutiny of all the acts of the department and by whom inquiry was evaded and obstructed. It was, in fact, a trap into which more than one unfortunate victim fell, Since the close of the Binckley prosecution the President has been employing agents in the several cities of the United States, and especially in New York, to secretly search into the alleged frauds and cor- ruptions going on among the revenue officers and the outside rings with which they work. These agents, lawyers of ability, firmness and integrity, have done their duty quietly but effectively, and are now prepared with affi- davits and evidence showing the most startling frauds throughout the entire Internal Revenue Bureau, and implicating a large majority of those holding positions of trust under the Treasury Department. They are at present in Washington arranging the preliminaries for the grand raid soon to be made upon these who have been engaged in robbing the government for the past four or five years. We understand that President Johnson, satisfied with the cases presented to him by his counsel, has determined to make a clean sweep of the whole Treasury Departinent, from top to bottom. Exercising the power still re- maining in his hands under the Tenure of Office law, he will suspend all the prominent officials on the ground of incompetency or active par- ticipancy in the revenue frauds, by which two or three hundred million dollars have been diverted from the national Treasury. Secre- tary McCulloch, who, as the head of the de- partment, cannot evade the responsibility for these frauds, will head the list of martyrs, and he will find in his company Commissioner Rol- lins and a goodly list of superintendents, collectors, assessors and district attorneys, more numerous than the ghosts that passed before the eyes of King Richard on the eve of the battle of Bosworth fiold, President Johnson will no doubt state dis- tinctly the grounds upon which he suspends these incompetent or dishonest men from office, and will set forth in @ practical and striking manner the damaging character of the Tenure of Office law, under cover of which these enormous frauds have been consummated almost without a decent pretence of conceal- ment. It will then be.geep whether Conarasa ImporTANT ANNOUNCEMENT—That of Messrs, Morgan and Schenck, the authorized joint committee of on the subject, sub- stantially giving it as their opinion that from the results of the late elections Andy Johnson may be trusted one month longer, and that, accordingly, the two houses will not reassem- ble till the regular first Monday in December.

Fenton anp Morcan.—Among the dead logs swept away by the elections are Fenton and Morgan, the rival radical leaders in this State. The result in New York shows that neither of them represents the people and that neither is fit for the Cabinet. They are sham politicians, repudiated at home and incapable of bringing any strength to Grant's adminis- tration. They have not even the slight recom- mendation of making blank verse orations, such as Roscius Conkling sometimes delivers. We should like to hear either of them speak @ speech capable of being rendered into the metre of Milton’s ‘‘Paradise Lost,” in two ver~ sions, as was tho case with Conkling about a year ago, Fenton and Morgan are dead cocks in the Cabinet pit. A New GovERNMENT For Cusa.—See the terms of the decree of the provisional govern- ment of Spain, embracing the instructions te General Dulce, the newly appointed Captain General, for the reconstruction of the govern- ment of the island on the basis of popular rights, including the liberty of the press, From the petitions flowing into Madrid for the abolition of slavery in Cuba we have no doubt that the new Cortes, when assembled, will wipe it out, In other respects the provisional’ home government in its instructions to Dulcs has hit upon a plan well calculated to hold the mother country and her colonies together under the new dispensation. But nows verrons, Drraios or raz Sroris.—On the whole the result of the elections must satisfy all parties in the State of New York. Republicans, of course, will be contented with the vast patron- age of the federal government, while demo- cratic politicians will find it easy to console themselves with the rich spoils of the State and the metropolis. The possession of the State government will prevent any more radical raids upon the city department in the shape of Albany commissions, and the local patronage will be quite sufficient to keep the ‘“‘fierca democracie” well supplied! with clean shirt collars, whiskey and cigars until four years more shall have revolved, affording them another and a better chance at the federal goose. ; Tue Prestpent’s .Orrnion.—The President, it is reported from Washington, has expressed the opinion that if Andrew Johnson had beea nominated by the Tammany Convention in- stead of Seymour there would have beens different result. We think so too, but not much, NOTES ABOUT TOWN. What will now become of the acres of bunting ana ail those big transparencies which have adorned 80 long the headquarters of many a political club? Heaven be praised, we are now rid of torchlight processions, stump eloquence and, above ail, of that dreadful registry bell! Let the bunting be de- voted to circus purposes, as it has before been used in the service of the “ring.” ‘ Harvey Dodworth has hung his harp on a willow tree in the Park for the winter, and the Mall re- echoes no longer with the sweet strains of his band. Why do not the Park Commissioners devise some equally attractive entertainment during the long winter months? It is by no means agreeable or safe to occupy @ ’ position of responsibility at present in this city where money or valuables are entrusted to one’s care. Burglars, robbers and murderers prowl around, often in broad daylight, jemmy or pistol im hand, and every day we have some case of murdere ous assault. The janitor of a Broadway bank was the , last victim, Whaton earth are the police doing? If Tammany Hall becomes a pretty waiter girlg? saloon will it be necessary to put gauze skirts and tights on the “Big Injan’’ overhead? When shall we have a decent water front, docks, basin, &c., to New York? Nothing could “‘spile’? the appearance of our harbor more than the present Wretched “slips” and piers. ‘The “liftle joker,” Erte, is bobbing up and down in Wail street and changes from cup to cup with astonishing celerity. The whereabouts of the little rascal is a matter of general interest, and for a week past anxious inquiries are. made after its welfare. The barroom of the House, where betting men have mostly .@uring the - sige presented @ busy scene yesterday which roe minded one of Tastersall’s on the day after the Derby. ‘The excitement attending the election baving com- menced to settle down the betting men are busy settling up. ‘The question has recently been asked, “Will the coming man drink wine?’ but as, up to yesterday, no one knew for certain who was the ‘coming man’? the question had to pause forareply, It may now ' be taken for Granted that the coming man will not, only drink wine but will amoke any quantity of tobacco. ————————— oo
