—_— — nationa! debt, if not a blessing, may become far less inconvenient or oppressive. Accumu- lated capital not employed in business would be invesied, as in the English Gonsols, for se- curity and a certain income. Speculation in governments, which now amounts to reckless gambling, would cease comparatively and there would be a steady market for legitimate ‘and secure investment. The present high in- terest only fosters gambling. Let Mr. Bout- well, then, turn his attention to this subject and mature a plan for utilizing the national debt as far as possible in the hands of the American people, and prevent its being used, as at present, for speculative purposes and to oppress the industry of the nation, The Religious Aspect—President Grant at Charch, The daily record of events which we pre- sented to the readers of the Hzratp each morning during the past week was, as usual, comprehensive, diversified, piquant, melan- oholy in many instances, instructive in all, and exciting. It embraced the history of New York during a period of seven days, and, con- sequently, represented, to a very considerable extent, the progress and tendency of the coun- try at large and its people, as set forth in our telegraphic reports from Washington and the metr opolitan centres of outside commerce, our notices of the dissolution of the Presbyte- wian Assemblies, our pen and ink pictures of the scenes and sport at the Jerome Park races, ‘nd our announcement of the arrival of the elepha nt—a huge fellow of his class—in the Park. Crime, irade, industry, the labor question, folly, dissipation and fun were noted prominently in our pages; but of religion— that grand essential so necessary to the com- plete development of the good and so useful for the correction of the bad in the different phases of life—we had but little. We supply that want to-day, presenting society in its re- ligious aspect as will be seen by a perusal of our telograph and mail accounts of the church services aud ceremonials which were performed and observed y.sterday within tangible dis- tances of New York, in the city proper, end Brooklyn. Fine weather, fashion- able dresses, flowers, pulpit elo- quence, Bible inspiration, the love of theological disputation, combined with the powerful and attractive influences which arise from the desire of political notoriety and an ante-mortem acquaintance with the affairs of the other world, brought crowded congrega- tions to the churches, eloquent preachers to the altars, with subtle metaphysicians, female and male, to the lecture halls. Washington was particularly pious, as be- comes the habitation of justice, legislation, glory and aspiring hope. President Grant, with quite a number of Senators, Congressmen nd government officials, were attracted to the Methodist Episcopal church to hear a sermon by the Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman on the subject of the Encyclical letter of the Pope convening the council in Rome. The building was crowded toa remarkable extent. The preacher opened the exercises by offering up a prayer invoking God to grant mental and physical vigor to Pres- ddent Grant. Having thus intimated, perhaps, ‘the requirements of the head of our executive, hhe went on to show what the Pope did not nd did want, denying the apostolic commis- Bion claimed by the Catholics for Peter and bis successors ; for Christ may as well have waed the words ‘‘Get behind me, Satan,” as “Peter, a rock;” and if he did so, by parity of reasoning all the Popes, to the present, Would have been devils. This style of logic, ‘ith the inference, provoked much laughter. The reverend preacher went on to describe Pius the Ninth as a “‘sovereign beggar,” who could be made a much better man by having ‘is tiara torn from his head and being sent out to preach the Gospel to the “‘deluded” Italians, @he Catholic claim 6f authority to ‘‘bind and oose” leads to a sale of indulgences to com- it sin. All this could be reformed, according to the preacher, by breaking up the religious rders, the marriage of monks and nuns, and ‘and in other ways. He would “reform” the \Oatholic Church, but not ‘‘destroy” it. In New Work Archbishop McCloskey spoke against societies, particularly Freemasonry, lay- the foundation of a Young Men’s Mutual Association, without regard to religion, ‘ather Farrell was effective in a most able lec- . The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was in Ris happiest and most Christian mood in klyn, announcing that he had been se- Weoted to preach before the graduate cadets at ‘est Point—a call which would not certainly we been made on him ten years ago. The jnéstion of ladies’ voting at the election of lay r tatives of the Universalist church was i—and it may be said, indeed, that there searcely a requirement of man, temporal or which was not referred to, trom New- , N. Y., to Bridgeport, Conn., with the intention of convincing the people that Rheir time here is short, while their reward or (Punishment hereafter will be eternal. Seathern Railronde—Enconragement Immigration. The happiest results have thus far followed je unanimous adoption at a convention of ern railways, held last January in tlanta, Ga., of a resolution, offered by Golonel FE. Hulbert, superintendent of the estern and Atlantic Railway, that excursion ites should be issued at a reduced rate Xo partios visiting the South for the purpose of Personal observation with a view to personal ettlomont or investment. Twenty-seven rail- ‘ways have already entered into this arrange- Went, and others are preparing to enter into The holder of the certifleate—which is not ‘gota, but is issued to any one who, in good ith, proposes to travel South to invest or to Rettlo—tm entitled to a reduction of the fare to cents per mile until July 1, 1869. A number of hotels have agreed to deduct e-third from their usual rates for the samo ime. For actual settlers the fare has been uced to one cent per mile per head for all 48, allowing eighty pounds of baggage per ead. There has recently been such a marked dd Steady increase of southward travel over @ railrowls which have agreed to this wise Bystem for the encouragement of immigration te the Northern States and from Europe, nd the prospective advantages which not bnly the South, but the railways themselves, Will reap from it, are so great as to lead us to hope that the experiment will be continned beyond tho Ist of July. During the heated of summer the travel must slacken som NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1869.—TRIPLE what, but it will revive and rapidly increase during the ensuing fall and winter if the same system be maintained. This judicious reduction of fares on the South- ern railways must directly promote and facili- | tate Northern and foreign immigration to the South. Immigrants, with their capital of money and skilled labor, can nowhere find more desirable homes or more profitable re- turns than in the vast territory embraced be- tween the Potomac, Ohio and Mississippi riv- ers and the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. Within these boundaries there is such a diver- sity of surface, soil and climate that most of the fruits and all the grains—in some localities two crops of certain varieties of corn and fruits annually—can be successtully and profitably cultivated. The central and most elevated re- gion, including portions of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, in particular, for salubrity of cli- mate, grandeur of scenery and abundance and purity of water cannot be excelled. With its deposits of gold; of iron equal in fineness to any in the world; of coal, copper, marble, granite and slate; with its. immense water powers, in many instances located in the heart of the cotton-producing belt ; with its almost limitless foresta, including all the varieties of wood used in the mechanical arts; with its cotton, rice, sugar, oranges, grapes, and, in the higher regions, its grain and stock tho South offers to labor and capital the most splendid promises of immediate and prospec- tive profit. A full development of the ex- traordinary resources of the South would in a few years largely increase the taxable property of the country and materially lessen taxation. The South is capable of sustaining a hundred fold more than its present population. Immigrants will now be heartily welcomed by the Southera people. The national wealth would be incalculably increased by turning immigration into Southern channels. Every bale of cotton raised by those who should settle on the cotton lands of the South would pay tribute to the general government, while the grain growers of the West pay compara- tively nothing. It is of national interest and importance that immigration to the South should be encouraged. A Suggestive Fact from the Sultan. That the constant improvements in the in- struments and agents of modern warfare, rifles, cannons, iron-clads, &c., have im- mensely increased the expenses of every State “anxious to preserve its rank, and to place itself in a position to defend its rights.” This is true, and so has it happened that during the last three or four years the debt or the taxes, or both taxes and debt, of every State in Europe have increased and are increasing. Hence the strong pressure on all sides for peace when there is a speck of war in the horizon, because the feeling prevails over the Continent that a little war will inevitably spread into a general war, and that a general war will be universal bankruptcy, repudiation and financial chaos. And yet the chances are atleast even in favor of a general European convulsion and financial collapse before the expiration of General Grant's present term of office. The remotest point in the future to which we may count upon peace is that point which will mark the end of the splendid reign of Napoleon the Third. After him, we fear from the signs of the times, as after Louis the Fifteenth, comes the deluge.

Their Artillery and Stores Captured by the Spaniards. INDIAN BUTICHERIES IN KANSAS. SPAIN. The New Constitution Read to the People— Serious Riot in Madrid—Two Men Killed and Several Injured—Imposing Demousira- tion—Serrano to be Regent. Maprip, June 6, 1869. The new Spanish constitution was promulgated with great pomp and ceremony to-aay. At about half-past one o'clock in the afternoon the members of the Executive Council of the nation, together with the deputies to the Cortes, sallied out of the chambers ona platform which was erected in front of the halls of Congress, After the deputies had taken their allotted places and silence was obtained the secretary commencec to read the constitution, which was received with loud cheers by the great mass of people assembled in front of the stand. On their return to the chambers the deputies took the oath to protect the constitution and the laws, When the deputies were retiring a tumuit broke out, consequent on the utterances of hisses by a number of persons tu the crowd. The disturbance increased in spite of the efforts of the troops to put down the demonstration. ‘ne trouble continued for some time, until the military @overnor of the city appeared, and with great presence of mind rushed in among the foremost of the rioters, shouting, “Viva Soverania Nacionale !” This changed the sentimenis of the mob, and the crowd took up the cry and joined in loud cheers. Two men, however, were killed in the disturbance, and a good many persons were se- riously injured, The deputies subsequently returned to the plat- form, when the troops outside the building, to the number of 30,000 men, filed past in marching order. Great enthusiasm was manifested by the spectators who congregated in the streets. None of the repub- lican members, it was noticed, participated in the ceremonies. A salute of fifty guns was fired in honor of the oc- casion; fireworks were discharged in the evening in prominent places in the city, and a grand banquet was given, which was attended by the notables of Madrid. Fully one hundred thousand people from the coun- try poured into the city and participated in the de- monstration during the day. A mortuary statue, executed in the medieval style, was uncovered, and the remains of the celebrities whose names were en- grossed on it arrived for deposition in the Pantheon. To-morrow the majority in the Cortes intend to present @ bill creating Marshal Serrano Regent of Spain, but declaring that he shall not have power to sanction laws or dissolve the Chambers. One hundred and thirty deputations from the pro- vinces witnessed the proclamation of the constitu- tion. To-night the streets are crowded with per- sons. The Cuban news is extremely unsatisfactory, and the wildest reports are current about the islana. General Dulce is expected on the 18th inst., when, it is hoped, he will be able to explain the situation of affairs, Daily dea- patches are received across the cable by the government, but their contents are unknown. This reticence of the authorities 1s greatly censurea by the press and public. Captain General de Rodes starts for Cuba on Thursday, and takes 5,000 troops with him. Rumors are current that the insurgents have met with great success. Reduction of Colonial Taxation. MADRID, June 6, 1869, Direct taxes in the Spanish colonies have been re- duced one-haif, and a smaliexport duty on sugar, Tum and tobacco has been imposed. ENGLAND. The Trish Church Bill—Conscrvative Lords in Caucus—They Determine to Kill the BIll, Lonpon, June 6, 1869, A meeting of conservative peers was held yester- day to determine what course should be pursued in regard to the bill for the disestablishment of the Irish Church. Lord Cairns urged that opposition be made to the bill on its second reading, and that it be finally re- jected. He said the leaders of the party did not wish to dictate, and were anxious that the judgment of each peer should remain unfettered, He felt that, as the country had never pronounced on the present bill, and as the feeling of the House of Lords was 80 opposed to it, the most politic, con- sistent and best course to pursue under the circum. stances would be to repudiate the measure. Lord Salisbury deprecated the course recom- mended by Lord Cairns, The agitation which would follow the rejection of the bili would be most disas- trous to the country, and would do nothing to save the Irish Church. It would be better to accept the bill and modify it in committee than to renew ill feeling and excitement. Lord Carnaervon supported the recommendations of Lord Salisbury. He urged the Chamber of Peers, now that it was able, to make terms for the Irish Churck. They might not have an opportunity here- after. Lord Derby was in favor of the rejection of the bill, contending that personal fears should deter no one from doing right. The majority of the Lords present approved ot the views of Lord Derby, and it was agreed that the second reading of the bill should be opposed. It is estimated that there will be a majority of eighty against the Irish Church bill on its'second reading in the House of Lords, IRELAND. Public Meeting to Protest Against Disestab- q Dustin, June 6, 1869. An immense public meeting of persons opposed to the Irish Church bill has been heid in London- derry. Nearly 12,000 were present, A protest against the bill was adopted, and will be sent to the Honse of Lords, FRANCE. Political Conspiracy Discovered=Persons Are rested. Lonpon, June 6, 1869. Some arrests have been made in Paria within the last two days, in consequence, it is reported, of the discovery by the police of @ new political con- epiracy.

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, June 6, 1869, A report has reached here from the interior that an Englishman and his family have been massacred by the natives in Abyssinia, CUBA. Spanish Account of the Battie at Nipe Bay— Filibusters Surprised—Their Arms, Ammus nition and Supplies Captured. WASHINGTON, June 6, 1869, A letter from a Spanish source which may be re- garded as semi-ofticial, dated Havana, May 30, speaks of @ recent encounter with filibusters in the Bay of Nipe, somewhere about the 11th of May. They were, tt is said, surprised and dispersed by one of the Spanish military columns, Three or four of the invaders, designated as foreigners, the only prison- ers taken, were summarily shot. It is added that the cargo of the vessel in which the filibusters landed fell into the hands of the Spantards. It consisted of twelve pieces of artillery, 150,000 cartridges, with other ammunition, and a large number of barrels of hard bread and potatoes. THE INDIANS. The Savages Devastating the Frontiers Panic Among the Settlers of Northwestern Kansas. LEAVENWORTH, Kansas, June 5, 1869. The Times and Conservative has atspecial despatch from Ellaworth which says General Miles’ couriers have arrived from the Saline and report that two additional bodies were found, making thirteen killed. ‘The Indians are devastating the settlements on the Solomon and Republican rivers, Adjutant Gen- eral Moorehouse leaves to-night for the Kepublican with twenty-three scouts, recruited here. He re- cetved despatches to-day notifying him that the In- dians had been in the vicinity of White Kock and Lake Sibley ail the week in large numbers, killing and destroving everything. Major Cox, of the Tenth cavalry, has arrived from Camp Supply. He reports ail the Arapahoes and 400 Cheyennes at that post hungry and out of am- munition, Colonel Nelson, the Superintendent, is there, with a stock of provisions and goocs for their beneflt. ‘The same paper has news that the colonies in Jewell and Mitchell counties, in Northwestern Kan- sas, have been driven into Republic and Washington counties, and twenty persons were kuled. Mr. Wintelpeck, an old citizen, was killed while cross- ing Republican river. There is a panic among the settiers in that part of the State. NEW JERSEY. Fire in Camden—Loss $50,000. PHILADELPHIA, June 6, 1369, The saw and grist mills belonging to McKeen & Bingham, in Camden, N. J., were destroyed by fire this morning. The fire originated io the rear of the saw mill, and in a few minutes the buildings were enveloped in flames. A large amount of grain and flour, stored in the grist mili, was destroyed. The flames communicated with several piles of lumber in close proximity, and before they could be checked no less than $50,000 worth of property was de- stroyed. The buildings and stock were partially in- sured, but not sufficient to cover that amount. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an in- cendiary. VERMONT. mannan Large Fire in St. at $50,000. ST. ALBANS, June 6, 1869. About two o'clock to-day a fire was discovered in the millinery rooms of Miss Appleton, on Main street, which consumed the stores of Mr. Hunting- ton, jeweller; J. F. McGowan, dealer in hardware and carpets; Bedard Brothers, dealers in stoves, & the County Clerk’s office, Masonic Hall and several offices. The loss is estimated at $60,000, which is parually covered by insurance. EUROPEAN MARKETS.

Hervé. ‘This is not opéra bouge music in any sense of the word. After a careful examination of the score we feel impelied to classify tt rather with the music of the comique. The orchestration and chorusses in particuiar are of a high order, such as Jacques Offen- bach never could write. The overture is the pret- tiest and most sparkling plano work for the salon that can be found in the wide range of opéra douse or comique, It consists of a waltz and a poika pre- ceded by some very effective introductory measures. ‘Then comes eight pages of music after the rising of the curtain, mostly of Druidical recitative, and there- fore strongly copied after Bellini. The waltz of the overture next turns up in the “Legend of Chilperic.” It is @ reminiscence of Strauss and Godfrey com- bined, The Hunter's chorus is rather too heavy and Jabored for the subject, and Chilperic’s firat song is another reminiscence, but a good one at that, ‘The followt quartette does not belo at ail vo opera bow It ae et singers of high calibre to do it justice, and is worthy of Auber, Thomas, Maillard or Adams, The finale of this act commences with iiiant polka, Whose measures are, how- ever, A beautiful minor theme, sung by Chilp x next, and then elaborately worked septett and chorus.

Passing over @ couple of medi- ocre aifs we come to a beautiful song, romance style, sung by Landry (soprano.) The succeeding duet (soprano and,tenor) does not call for special comment. Galsuinthe makes the entree in a charm: ing bolero, entirely Spanish in character and style, at the Francais by - and as it was sung clauzas, it was irresistible. Two numbers of clever ballet music follows, and then Frede- sings an aif from the ‘‘Vepres Siciliennes.’’ The act closes with some genuine can- can music. The last act commences with a dashin 6-8 time chorus of pages. The trio by Ricin, All and the Great Historian is good, but a remi- niscence. An Accompanied chorus behind the scenes in this act is of rare merit aud worthy of the grand opera. A duet between Gaisuinthe and Chil. peric is also one of the features of The operg ends With a tame, commonplago Gallic march which ts unworthy of the rest of the/music.

WASHINGTON. * Wasminero, June 6, 1369, The Cause of the Indian Troubles. Major Rankin, who arrived here to-day from Fort Hayes, says the immediate cause of the late murders by the Indians was the fring upon a squaw by some setulers, Eleven persons are known to have been Killed. In this, as in most other cases, the whites appear to have been the aggressors. Virginia Politics. Governor Wells, of Virginia, arrived here to-night and 1s stopping at Willard’s. Some men of his own Party, also here at present, now regard his chances of election as very precarious. Walker is said to be gaining strength hourly, and his friends are very confident of success. Statistics of our Commerce and Navigation. The monthly report (number twenty-four) of the Deputy Special Commissioner of the Revenue, in charge of the Bureau of Statistics, showing the Statistics of our commerce and navigation for the months of October, November and December, 1863, and for the year ending December 31, 1863, is just out, from which the following synopsis is made:— Imports, Exports.

In my despatches last night I briefly alluded to the tact that Dr. J. ©. C. Kennedy, who may be called the father of the census law now in force, and who has twice executed it, had made a state- mene before the Census Committee on Saturday, criticising severely the next plan proposed to ve adopted. Mr. Kennedy expressed strong reasons in opposition to avy change in the period of making the enumeration, and contended that the United States marshals had heretofore proved eiicieat agents of the Government in taking the census and should be continued. Mr. Hough, who has recently been appointed to the charge of the census records, has sent in a memorial to the Censtis Committee, which was printed as a House document, the purport of which includes a general assault upon the law of 1850 and representations to discredit it, Mr. Hough, in his document, had urged that the idea of Provost Marshals, “in the minds of the lower classes,”? and the fear of enrolments would interfere with the use- fulness of the marshals, as to some of whom “there was a general unfitness for character and honesty,” notwithstanding which there was not “a single in- stance on record of the penalties of the law having been enforced.” He represented that the assessors or special appointees should take the place of mar- shals and their assistants. Mr. Kennedy insisted thatthe United States marshals aifordea the best agency, because of their relations to the gov- ernment. to the United States courts and to the department; aiso in their being bonded officers with convenient places of business, having Jurisdiction wherever the laws extended; as a class having the best knowledge of the people aud geogra- phy of their districts, obtained in summoning juries and witnesses and serving writs. He asserted that they had generaily heretofore performed their duties very satisfactory, and the fact of there never having existed any occasion to enforce against them the laws for penalties supplied the best reason for con- tinuing the use of an agency which bas been avatied of for three-fourths of a century; that they were not feared as much as the tax gatherers’ assessors, who had work enoygia on haud and who must negiect the revenues or the census, and probably both. Mr. Kennedy, not know- ing Dr. Hough and igncrant of his presence in the committee room, proceeded to a scorching review of his document, which he declared to be {ull of mis- representations of the law of 1850 and illustrative of the visionary theories of an unpractised mind, and if the committee should be influenced vy its recom- mendations the consequence to the United States census would be such as had attended a recent one in the State of New York. He proceeded to show the unreasonableness of the numerous attacks upon the Census law of 1850, which he deciared to be not only misrepresented, but misquoted. Mr. Kennedy was not heard through for want of time, but will appear again before the committee the present week in continuation, No Tax on Dairy Products.
