generally is a reproach. It will be to the honor of the Presbyterians of the United States if now, or at an early day, they merge their dif- ferences and present to the world a grand ex- ample of Christian unity, Such an example ‘would prove contagious. Other unions would follow, party strife would die away as the union spirit developed itself, and Christianity, and through Christianity human society, would gain by the result, A Democratic Organ Wanted, but What for? The democracy of this State, it appears, are in want of an organ—an organ that they can rally upon and rely upon in defeat and re- treat, as well as in victory; an organ that will stand fire and stick to its colors and crow till everything burns blue; an organ that will ex- pand and expound the ‘time-honored princi- ples of the party,” with some regard to the ‘fact that party principles which are dead and ‘buried it is useless to dig out of the ground. Governor Hoffman and some others of the democratic nabobs of our State authorities re- cently issued a begging letter in behalf of Mr. Alphabet Barlow’s late organ as the very thing for the democracy, not only of the State, but of the whole Continent ; but the great body of the faithful, remembering the October bolt against Seymour and Blair, are not as enthusi- astic as they might be in sending in their con- tributions. We infer that the begging letter aforesaid has failed from the fact that the democratic members of the late Legislature have issued an opposition begging letter to re- vive the Albany Argus as the proper demo- cratic organ for the Empire State. And yet again, it is said that Peter B. Sweeny and gome other sachems of Tammany contemplate the experiment of a new concern in this city, and upon the idea that, as without the demo- cratic vote of this city and the spoils of Tam- many the party in the State would be nowhere, Tammany Hall is the rightful successor of the Albany Regency and ought to rule the State, In none of these movements for a new party organ do we hear Brick Pomeroy mentioned ; and yet among the unterrified Brick is held as preaching the gospel according to Vallan- digham, and holds among the hard-handed and fhard-headed of the rank and file the balance of ower. His style asa teacher, however, is oo rough and rasping for the kid-gloved mag- hates of the inner iemple, including the élite of the Manhattan Club, and so they cut him, and, heads up, pass by on the other side. It is the difference between Western whiskey in ® home made goblet and Manhattan champagne in Bohemian cut glass. Your “bloated bond- holder” soon learns to turn up his nose at Wis- consin bourbon in a Pittsburg green glass éumbler. In any event, the New York man- agers of the party, city and State, have, as by common consent, agreed that Wisconsin de- mocracy, as expounded by Pomeroy, is too ¥resh and hot from the still for the longitudes between Dunkirk and Montauk, and so Brick Nis to be left to look after the horses. He may do the rough work of the aristocracy of the party, and he may be admitted to a snack in ‘the kitchen; but he must not presume to bring jthe smell of the stable among the invited guests inthe parlor. Brick understands it; ‘but if he does not make these high and mighty turtle soup democrats sweat for it we shall be disappointed. , But what do the democracy of this State, or yany State, or of the United States, want ‘with a party organ? There wasa time, and it was under Jackson and Van Buren, when itwo or three little coteries of party ‘managers, with an organ at Washington (the '@lobe), an organ at Richmond (the Hnguirer) jand an organ at Albany (the Argus), managed ‘the candidates of the democracy, the order of ,@uccessfon and the government of the United States. But when this sort of government hunder Van Buren had abolished specie and polvent bank notes, and had substituted a gen- ‘eral circulation of wild cat and red dog paper and irresponsible shinplasters in countless mil- lions of such rubbish, the third estate began to /be shifted and was soon removed from these managing party cliques and their’organs to the Andependent popular press. With the fearful financial revulsion of 1837 the democratic «egencies were thrown upon their beam ends, and in the sweeping political revolution of 41840 they were cast ashore, high and dry. From that day down to this cliques of party managers and party organs have been steadily losing ground, and the power which they have dost has been settled round the independent press. The dissolution of the old whig party after its killing defeat by poor Pierce in 1852, the collapse of the old dictatorial democratic party in the disastrous Charleston Convention of 1860, the terrible rebellion of Jeff Davis and his experimental slaveholding Southern con- federacy, and the tremendous revolution and reconstruction which have followed, from par- ties and party platforms up to the constitution ftself, through all this mighty chain of grand events the American people have more and more learned to think and act for them- selves and to look with contempt upon party directors and party journals. What, ‘then, do the democracy of New York want ‘with a new party organ? Nothing that such @ drivelling machine can supply. They have been dragged through the mud and mire of twelve years of disgraceful defeats by their party managers and organs, and if the party would get upon its legs again it must be through the help of the independent masses of ‘the people and the independent press.

Uneasiness of the British Press Regarding the Situation Between America and England— The Peace Society Anniversary. LONDON, May 19, 1869. The London Times to-day continues to discuss the relations of Great Britain and the United States, After tracing the feeling of the Americans towards England in past times and the conduct of England during the late rebellion, it says:—**The Americans know that conduct was, or was intended to be, void of offence. If priate opinions and sympathies are to be made the subject of international liugation Americans must consider what counter charges they are lable to. In a cause so founded the wiser course would be to put aside such matters and con- fine the negotiations to affairs witnin the cogul- zance of public law.” The Daily Telegraph also pursues the same theme. It says:—‘Having made our protest we may be well content to wait. It is undesirable to jeave the question open; but in the present condi- tuon of American feeling no possibility of a speedy and satisfactory settlement is apparent. Beyond the desire to act justly this country has no interest in concluding @ convention, save that such agree- ment might protect our commerce hereafter from such depredations as tnose committed by the Ala- bama. A convention not cordially accepted by the Americans as @ full discharge of their supposed grievances would be valueless; and the execution of such a compact, if made at the present time, would be exceedingly doubtful. His honest and faithful exposition of the views of each nation will pave the way to conciliation and settlement.” ‘The anniversary meeting of the Peace Society was held to-day. Resolutions were adopted regretting the rejection by the United States Senate of the Alabama claims treaty; hoping, if the statesmen of the two countries are unable to grapple with the emergency, that the reason and Christianity of the two great Anglo-Saxon nations may interpose to prevent war, and rejoicing in the activity and ear- nestness of the peace societies in america. IRELAND. Fatal Riot in TraleoThe Police Interfere and are Attacked by the Riotere—One Man Killed=A Number Severely Wounded. Dusit, May 19, 1869, Aserious riot has taken place in Tralee. It com- menced ina fight between two mobs. The police interposed, when the opposing crowds joined against the police and threatened to overpower them. The latter were compelled to use their frearms, and dis- charged several rounds from revolvers and muskets into the crowd with fatal effect. One rioter was in- stantly killed and several wounded. Of the police three were wounded; one of them is not expected to recover. The mob dispersed soon after the firing commenced, but not before several of the rioters had been secured and taken to the station. The town is now quiet. A number of arrests have since been made of men prominent in the disturoance. FRANCE. Mr. Burlingame Submits the Pret a Treaty to tho Foreign Minister. Parts, May 19, 1869.

Rebellion in Miniature—Resistance to the Metropolitan Police Bill—Fight Between the Rival Police Authorities of Jefferson City and New Orieane—United States Troops Quell the Disturbance. New ORLEANS, May 19, 1869, Until last night the adjoining city of Jefferson, though included in the Metropolitan Police district, has refused to accept the Metropolitan force, offering armed resistance to every attempt of the Metropoli- tans to exercise the functions of their offices. Last night the Metropolitans of this city mustered to the Dumber of 300, under a captain, and detailed to take charge of the Jefferson precinct, made a movement about ten o’clock on the municipal buildings in Jeferson, which were filled with armed citizena A small battle ensued. Twelve or fourteen Metropoli- tans were wounded, two of whom are thought dan- gerously. The police retired, and Governor War- moth called upon General Mower for troops. One company, which was furnished this morning, marched quietly to the municipal buildings, meeting no opposition, and installed the Metropoiitans in jion. The citizens of Jefferson are much ex- cited, and the soidiers are still on the ground. No demonstration was made against the troops. though the police force was driven off, though four times as large as the body of soldiers. No citizens are known to be hort, having been protected by the market house and police buildings, ‘The action of the Jefferson authorities in resisting the Metropolitan Police was SOnPay wrone, im view of the tact that the Supreme Court had decided that the Metropolitan organization was legal. It is stated, however, that the police commenced firing on the Jeffersonians last night without stating their business or who they were. It appears, from all accounts, that the number of Jeffersonians engaged In the mélce last night were only eight or ten. A large number of citizel however, were assembled this morning, ut, on learning of the approach of the military, dispersed, Accompanying the infantry were two howitzers, all under the command of General Mower in person, accompanied by Governor Warmoth and Police Superintendant Cain. After the Metropolitans ob- tained poueeeeion: they proceeded to revenge their defeat of last night upon the unoifending bystanders, a number of whom were badly beaten with police- men’s Clubs, and citizens were indiscriminately ar- rested. Among those beaten were an old I. headed man and a butcher who was standing quietly at his market stall. The violence of the metropoli- tans was entirely unprovoked, and was directed against unsuspecting and unarmed bystanders. This took place after the municipal officers had disappeared. Considerable excitement yet exists in Jeilerson and one company of troops remains there. MARYLAND. Bold Robbery of an Express Clerk—816,000 Stolen—Mutineers Convicted—Society of the Cincinnati. BAutrmorg, May 19, 1369. This morning, between half-past eight and nine o’clock, Richard Pattison, money-delivery clerk of Harnden’s Express Company, took a package of money for delivery to George Howard, on the third floor of No. 16 North Charles street. As soon as he entered the room he was seized by two men and gagged and robbed of $16,000, which he had for delivery to different houses in this city. He was locked in, and the robbers escaped. Howard engaged the room on Friday last, and re- ceived a package irom the express com- pany. on Saturday, when he informed the messenger e expected another this morning. Howard was not present when the robbery occurred. No. 16 North Charles street is a few doors from Fayette street, and at thetime of the robbery was filled with peo- le, The messenger gave the alarm and was rescued rom the room a short time after the robbery took place.

The Cornell University—Goldwin Smith in Reply to Senator Sumnet Speech on the Alabama Treuty—Englund’s Course Vindi- cated. Irmaca, May 19, 1869. Professor Goldwin Smith, to whom Senator Sum- ner alluded in his recent speech on the Reverdy Johnson treaty, delivered a reply to that speech this evening before the members of Cornell University and a crowded assembly of citizens, among whom were several distinguished men from different parts of the country. The address was very able and com- prehensive. Mr. Smith premised that he spoke both as an Englishman atill loyal to his country and also as one Rong to make his home for many years in America. le first palegy reviewed the re- lations. between the Uni Staves and England during the late war, and then analyzed Senator Sumner’s speech, argument by argument. He denied that England in any way lad acted in bad faith, and asserted that the Palmerston govern- ment, like the Gladstone government, was only anxious to do justice to this country. England was willing to let Canada go when it pleased. Every- in Great Britain would consider the loss of the West India Islands a gain, and he, if it could be roved that Ireland would be happier disunited from england, would vote for her independence. But no Englishman would ever consent to relinquish any of these countries as an equivalent for such claims as those set up by Mr. Sumner. Senator Sumner had not treated England justly. Heomitted to state tnat England rejected the offer of France to join in a po- litical recognition of the confederacy; this was se- cretly done to offset the escape of the Alabama. Senator Sumner throughout was influenced by his hatred of slavery, and lugged his rancor against that dead institution into every political sphere. His taunts against England have strack a strong blow at the very men, like John Bright and others, who have always opposed slavery and been the warmest friends of the Union. They would fee) its etfect, while the tory party, the enemies of America, would be encou by the speech. He closed with a banete 8D) for justice and peace, amid earnest ap- plause. George William Curtis begins his series of lectures before Cornell University to-morrow evening. Pro- fessor James Russell Lowel! and Theodore W. Dwight commence theirs next week. EUROPEAN MARKETS.

PATERSON RACES. Second Day of the Mecting—Plenty of Rain and Little Racing. Racing went on over the Paterson Course yester- day—that 1s, one race was run and one only—the selling race. All the races announced to take place would have been run, howevpr, had it not been for amistake by the management in making out the conditions of the handicaps, which were that the acceptances should be in writing. Those who de- clared out sent in their declinations In writing, while those who were supposed to have accepted omitted to state their willingness to run with the weights allotted to them. It was not until after tne bills had been printed and the public—who were led to believe that the racing would take place— had assembled in considerable numbers on the course that the blunder was detected by there not being a horse ready to start in either of the handicaps announced to be run. This created great dissatisfaction among the spectators, who were sorely disappointed at the turn events had assumed. They had come to Paterson under the im- preasion that these handicaps would be run; for in former days @ postponed.race on that track was never thought of. It isno wonder that so much dissatisfaction was expressed; for men had left their business and had gone there on one of the most dia- agreeable and rainy days that we have had this spring to witness what they hoped would be the victory of some favorite horse. The condition of the track, the weight-carrying power of every horse and their individual capacity to win under the cir- cumstances had been carefully weighed and calcu- lations made, based upon what they considered their best judgment as to the probable result, The day was most unpropitious; the rain poured down incessantly, and the track was miserable in the extreme, while the drenched spectators presented a ‘woe-begone aspect as they endeavored to sheiter themselves as best they could from the storm—some under their umbrellas and others where they could best fina shelter. They seemed to bear up cheerfully under their difficulties, however, and had tl come off as anticipated, would no doubt have gone home delighted with racing on a rainy day, Racing men are somewhat noted for thetr equanimity of tem- per; they are exposed to vicissitudes of fortune as well as the elements, and graduaily acquire a philosophic indifference to the current of ordi- nary eventa. By way of compensation for the disap- pointment of yesterday, and before the race of the day began, it was announced from the judges’ stand that four good races would be run to-day, rain or shine, as no mistake had been made in regard to the entries for all the purses offered. The four races alluded to as being certain to come off to-day are a steeple chase or hurdle race (we do not know which itmay turn out to be); a dash of a mile and @ quarter for three year olds, a half mile dash between two year olds; and a handicap race for ali horses that lave run during the meeting. This should make an interesting day’s sport; but as the track will not be in the best condition possibie for last runuing we would advise betters to be on their guard and be careful in their speculations on tame, If it con- tinues to rain the track will be very heavy, and should the storm subside and the sun shine it will be worse, " The race that took place yesterday was what ts called a selling race—that is, the horses that were to be sold immediately after the race for the highest rices had to carry the heaviest weights. The con- iat ut ae ppt ae shoul eir proper Hi be allowed five pounds; those for $500 to be allowed fourteen pounds; those for $300 to be allowed twen- ty-one pounds, and those for $200 twenty-eight nds. ‘The highest priced horse in this race (Ego- Eis was valued at $600, and he had accordingly to carry 110 pounds; Gerald, valued at $300, carried 100 ‘pounds, while Urbana, pane valued $200, had Loge it pounds allowance. It wi thus be seen tl ey were all lightly weighted. ‘The race was won by Gerald, who to carry his burden quite handily. Urbana, with ninety-aix pounds on his back, was second in the race. The weight he carried did ‘not seem materially to impede 18 progress, and his defeat may be attributed more to a want of condition and a weakness of one of his. fore legs than toanything else. Distance, probabiy, told more heavily on Egotist than the weight he ces- ried; for in the mile race of Tuesday he carried four- teen pounds more weight without apparent distress, Still, as be carried ten more than the win. ner, that may have been quite suffictent to have tn. sured his defeat under any vircumstances. Weight has t influence on the speed of a race horra, small matter of a single pound being thought sufl- cient to decide @ closely contested race where the merits of both horses are equal. Every korse has his maximum of weight-carrying powers as well as his distance, and the sii excess either way ts certain to exhibit h tour, and are now Paterson pre; wo thetr start for ta perrarne S con- tests for the purses to be run there, — a iy ormpria Privateer, Bayonet 4 si mprises Stonewall Jacksony Cotterill, carrie P., Foster an McC! y.

The last pools sold were as follows:— Egotist. 45 65 9 15 30 33 40 21 38 22 THE RACE. When the horses were brought on the track it was raining quite fast, and the track had become heavy and consequently slow. The horses were taken down the stretch after a slight slow gallop to the three-quarter pole, that being the etarting place for the race. After a short ‘delay the horses got away to an even start, and they came up the stretch ataclipping pace, Gerald on the lead, Urbana sec- ond, Egotist ro gi | ae the rear. As they the stand erald passed was leading two lengths, Urbana second, three lengths ahead of Egotisy. § G around the turn Urbana closed up to the tail of Gerald and Egotist came a little closer. At the quarter pole Gerald led one length, Urbana secona and Egotist three lengths be- hind. Going down the backstretch Urbana made a dagh for the lead but found he could not succeed, Egotist also made his run before getung to the half- mile pole, but closed up a length only. Urbana made @ charge at Gerald again on the lower turn, but was again unsuccessful, aud as they’ entered the home- stretch Gerald had the other two beaten and he came up the stretch the easiest kind of a winner, and won by four lengths. ‘The struggle for second Place was not much of a contest, as Egotist was worse off than Urbana, and he could not overtake him by four lengths. Time of the dash, 2:224;, which was very fair time fer the distance, considering the condition of the track and the easy manner in which the race was won by Gerald. Afler the race was over the winner was put up at auction, to be sold according to the conditions of the racing programme for $300, The bidding was very limited.

Yesterday was made memorable at Niblo's and at the Théedtre Frangais by two entertainments in honor of Mr. John Brougham, who is about to leave the shores of the Atlantic for the golden slope of tha Pacific, where the honors which ke has here won will doubtless be renewed without stint or abatement. The matinée performance at Niblo’a yesterday con- sisted of an admirable representation of Sheridans famous comedy, “The School for Scandal.” The cast was excellent—so thoroughly excellent as to fillevery part of the house with an audience in every respect worthy of the occasion. In spite of a driving rain storm every seat was occupied, and not even standing room was to be had for the asking after the play commenced. The comedy was performed in a style that ought to convince managers that there are legitimate entertainments which may incite public interest more than the most gorgeous of the meretricious shows to which too many of the theatres of our metropolis have for a long time been devoted. Mrs. D. P. Bowers person- ated Lady Teazle with rare grace and power. The rich, full tones of her beautiful voice, her remark- ably One poiwe and aplomb, told with the happiest effect upon the auditors, and she was summoned to return to the stage by universal applause at the close of the screen scene. Mr. Gilbert as Sir Peter ‘Teazle was the finished gentleman of the old school and the complete artist at every point in dialogue and action. Charles Surface found a fitting person- ator in Mr. Edwin Adams. Sir Oliver Surface was never better acted than by Mr. Brough: and long vefore he had completed his task he was called be- fore the curtain, and, in response to a demand fora speech, gracefully postponed it till the close of the play, when he made one of those humor- ous, ironical, egotistical addresses which have made him a welcome talker to the public. He warmly thanked everybody for the kindness dis- played towards him, and touched pathetically on the last journey of all that would take his gratitude away along with him, thanking the company for the cordiality with which they had volunteered their ser- vices in his behalf, Praise is due certainly to all of them for that and for their histrionic skill as dis- played throughout the comedy.

In the evenining there was another immense audience at the Thédtre Francais. Every seat and all available space was occupied. Mr. ©. Eytinge forcibly and poetically recited verses, national and personal, to the delight of the audience, and “The Secret’ was then represented by Mr. George Hoi- land, Mr, E. M. Holland and others in an admirabie manner. After that Mr. Dan Bryant and Mr. Neise Seymour sang ‘“‘The Two Gendarmes” in such a man- ner as to secure @ vociferous encore. As acceptable as any part of the performance was the representation of “The Irish Lion,” in which Mr. and Mra. Barney Williams were as amusing as ever. They were heartily appiauded. The entertainments included, aiso, Mr. Brougham’s appearance in the comedictta of “A Gentleman from Ireland," and a specimen of Japanese dexterity on the part of Hamicari and little Ali Right. Mr. Brougham was called before the curtain at the close of the performances and re- cetved an elegantly fashioned harp made of the choicest flowers, when he made a speech similar in substance to that which he delivered at Nibio’s. It ‘was as follows, or, as he would have said, “it should thus have been given: — Lapins AND GENTLEMEN—You can readily imagine eo feel more than ja Q) thongh it is, yet ihe contemp! 7 praudring been without tte drawbacks Bap nd T thought Brilliant as the antict nificent n, & 1 ther has had no powerty di- tulalsh.

This French troupe is one of greatest novelties of the modern stage, and has performed with uninterrupted success at the Chatelet, Port St. Martin and Gaities theatres ta Paris, and at the Princess tneatre in London they made the decided hit of the season. West Point is already preparing to receive the gay birds of fashion, who every summer desert the dusty and heated metropolis for the sequestered nooks im the “Highlands” of the Hudson, where they cam enjoy the purer and more Sxhitaradng. air of the mountains. Several of our leading citizens have taken cottages at West Point whither they will shortly migrate, and a number of other families in ‘this city contemplate spending the summer months in the same delightful and picturesque region. From present indications the el peerersig aeason at this place promises to be one of unusual briliiancy and fashionable gayety, and preparations have been made upon an extensive scale for man- gurating the season at an early day, ‘Ihe opening hop at Cozzens’ Hotel comes off on Monday even- ing, the 31st inst., and it will doubtless be welt attended by the youth, beauty and fashion of this city.
