The city tax levy of twenty odd millions is enough to show it; for Tammany rules the city, and the city has become strong enough to carry the State, and the State is the mainstay of the democratic party of the United States. Hence the outgivings of Tammany on the political situation mean something. Accordingly the party views, doctrines and hints thrown out from Tammany on the ‘‘glorious Fourth” are entitled to special attention, foreshadowing, as they do, the present position and future course of the irrepressible democracy. First, then, after a solemn, a very solemn ode from De Witt Van Buren—and there is a poet among the Van Burens, as there have been statesmen, politicians, wits and philoso- phers—after a poem from a Van Buren, calling us to Look where broken laws, neglected oaths and shat- tered States proclaim The a of the hollow heart, the glory of its shame, that he will be thoroughly roused by the com- ing fall elections. Berrer Taan a New RatLRoav. to THE Pactrio—The conservative victory in Vir- ginia. The Spanish Regency. In the Herap of yesterday we printed a long and able letter from the pen of our special correspondent in Madrid. The letter givesa full and a very instructive account of the political situation in that country, including the installation of Marshal Serrano as Regent of Spain and the popular estimate of the regency. it would seem from the letter of our corre- spondent that the Spanish people are by no means a unit in the matter of the regency. There are some who regard it with bitter hostility. There are others who regard it as a temporary expedient which may last six months, but which can scarcely last longer. The republicans are evidently dissatisfied, and the scornfully eloquent speech of Castelar, with its numerous and pungent historical refer- ences, will unquestionably echo and re-echo over the length and breadth of Spain, awaking in many cases memories not favorable either to regenoy or monarchy. It is undeniable, however, that Serrano has been pushed into this high position somewhat against his will. No one, not even among the ranks of the republicans, has ventured to impugn his motives. Personal ambition, which has frequently been charged upon Prim, has never once been mentioned in connection with Judge Garvin proceeded to the nomination of | the name of Serrano.

Having thus cleared the ground for Governor Hoffman and his foreign policy to the satisfaction of the assem- our domestic affairs in foreshadowing the democratic programme for 1872. Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, was assigned to this important duty and dis- charged it with the ability of a regular old time democratic constitutional expounder, He took the ground that from the mode adopted hy Congress of enforcing upon the the adoption of the fifteenth constitutional suffrage of all colors, the ratification of this amendment will be null and void, “and the attempt to enforce it revolution.” Speaking of the States required by law to adopt it Mr. Stockton said :—‘‘These States are deprived of a free vote. They are to be coerced to a vote that alters the constitutions of the United States and of New Jersey fundamentally,” and ‘‘f pronounce it violence and revolution.” He further said that ‘the question of who votes and who does not vote sinks into insig- nificance compared with the fundamental alteration of our system of government which is proposed, and the fraud and violence by late rebel States the condition precedent of | promptly and with effect. amendment, establishing universal manhood | dency as to lapse into monarchy. thoughtful and the most respectable portion of the Spanish people. The comparative in- difference which was manifested by some sec- tions towards the installation of the Regent is no doubt to be explained on the ground that many of the people, and these of all shades of political sentiment, are of opinion that the regency is but a temporary arrange- ment preparatory to the enthronement of a king. It will not be a surprise to us if the re- bled sachema, another step was taken touching | gency remains a permanent institution. There must of course be an executive, by whatever name named. In the absence of a king, and as the nation has declared in favor of a mon- archy, the regency is just as good a name as any other. The Regent is the elect of the Cortes, and the Cortes is the elect of the people. The Cortes can remove the Regent at will, and the people can act upon the Cortes It will be just as natural for the regency to become a presi- If it works well with Serrano it may last for many years and furnish the world with a new example of constitutional government. Just Like THeM.—The slippery democratic organ which last fall, in the crisis of the battle, proposed to dismiss General Frank Blair on account of his disastrous pronuncia- miento declaring the Reconstruction laws of Congress ‘‘unconstitutional, revolutionary, null and void,” the very same organ now finds the same views from Senator Stockton worthy of lauding to the skies, “Ue!

The returns so far received of the election in Virginia yesterday indicate a decisive con- servative victory. The election embraced, first, the ratification of the State constitution adopted by the radical State Convention some two years ago; secondly, the question of the ratification of the fifteenth amendment of the federal constitution as required by Congress; thirdly, a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and State Legislature ; fourthly, members of Congress. On the constitutional question, under the authority of Congress, General Grant ordered & separate vote on the rebel disfranchising and one or two other clauses of the State con- stitution before the people, and it is upon this disfranchising clause that the two parties have been mainly divided. The radicals, in- cluding the bulk of the blacks, have fought the battle for the constitution with this rebel disfranchising clause, the conservatives for the constitution without this obnoxious clause, The conservatives accept the fifteenth amendment and the — situa- tion generally, the great issue being the question of rebel disfranchisement. Walker, the conservative candidate, is a mod- erate republican, and what is known as a car- pet-bagger—that is, a Northern man, Wells, the radical candidate, is also a carpet-bagger. The conservatives, it will thus be seen, have accepted the new order of things, and have undertaken, in good faith, to secure the State onthe terms laid down by Congress. If, then, they have carried the State, in- cluding the enfranchisement of the hitherto disfranchised rebels, they have the State henceforward for a long time to come, and so of the reign of the radical carpet-baggers South we have here the beginning of the end. General Grant, under the laws of Congress, has given fair play in this contest, and, so far as we have seen, he has not shown himself an active partisan, and we presume will not be seriously disturbed by Walker's election. As- suming that Walker is elected and that his party have won the State on the constitution and the Legislature and on Congress, the re- sults show how the whole South may be won by the Southern conservatives, and how the conservatives of the North may in due time sweep the country from New York to Califor- nia. On this line, before they get to the end of it, they may also find themselves in accord with the administration, Who knows ? pope A Frank MovEMgNT ON THE ADMINISTRA- vIoN—That proposed by Mayor Hall in Tam- many Hallon Cuba and the Alabama claims in our approaching November election. Old Tammany has the fuel and is firing up, and the track seems to be clear through to Buffalo. The Postal Telegraph in England. The British government has taken an im- portant step by annexing the telegraph service to the Post Office Department and buying out the interest of the well known Reuter’s Agency for the sum of some three millions and a half of dollars. The telegraph service is but a system of accelerated communication, and should be placed under the same jurisdiction as the Post Office. Moreover, it is but right that such important services to the community at large should be placed beyond the influences of private speculation and competition. Most of the European nations have adopted this plan, and, in consequence, enjoy much cheaper rates of transmission for messages and a more reliable administration than we can boast of at present. The question has been ‘sifted by competent men, from reliable statistics, and the result proves decidedly in favor of the service being carried out by the government. At the present period, when really ‘‘time is money,” this question is all important, espe- cially to the commercial world, and recent events in connection with private undertakings have proved that the service should be freed from such fetters. There is no reason why the telegraph, if added to the Post Office and pro- perly administered, should not in time become the most important branch, and with an equi- table scale of charges would doubtless soon become a conspicuous source of revenue. The immense distances to be traversed between our principal points of commercial interest render this question of more importance to the United States than any other nation in exist- ence, and call for immediate consideration. Let us prove that we are not only a nation of inventors, but that we can also successfully apply our inventions when made. Bap vor ALL THE Sournern Carprt- Baaorrs—The Virginia election. It tells them that their reign is over and their time has come. Tue Press iN INpIANA.—They have estab- lished a new system of censorship of the press in Indiana. Our despatch from Terre Haute shows how it works, a policeman named Erny having maintained a running fire from revolvers, with a succession of smashers with a “billy,” on the two editors and proprietors of one of the city journals. One of the newspaper men is mortally wounded. It is not stated why the policeman acted in sith fashion, Most likely there was no cause to state, Fined ‘‘two days’ pay!” Tue Ne@ro PosTMasTER At Macox.—The arrest of Turner, the negro Posimaster at Macon, Ga., for complicity in stealing un- signed Treasury notes at Washington and pass- ing them with forged signatures in the South, is a sad blow to the negrophilists. Coming as it does so soon on the heels of his appoint- ment, and before the accusations of a similar character made against the Pennsylvania colored appointee are forgotten, it will form a text everywhere for the opponents of the darky. We do not know whether it is the na- ture of the colored citizen to steal, and that he cannot help it, as some insist, or that he has learned too much from the carpet-baggers and white politicians he has associated with since his emancipation. Be it which it may, we advise Sambo to look sharp at those he puts forward as his representative men in office. Stealing may be one of the qualifications for that profession, but a quickness at being found out is not. Titxas, with ber luxuriant fields and bound- less herds, must follow the example of Vir- ginia, and, when her time comes, go in like a prairte on fire for Hamilion and the conserva- ve tioket, Now Aystom of ‘Transportation. Considerable interest is being awakened in England in a new system of transportation for short distances and in places where railroads are not applicable, by what is called a wire tramway, providing a simple and cheap sub- stitute for a line of rails. An endless wire rope is suspended on a series of pulleys, which are carried on posts like those of the telegraph. Boxes are hung on this rope by a pendant which is ingeniously arranged to pre- serve @ perfect equilibrium, and at the same time to pass without hindrance over the sup- ports. The motive power is supplied by a small stationary engine, the wire rope running round a drum, and the boxes carry from one hundred to six hundred pounds of merchan- dise. It is stated that a wire tramway, capable of transporting fifty tons a day, with the necessary motive power and rolling stock, can be constructed for two hundred and fifty pounds per mile, and one thousand five hundred pounds per mile would build one equal to the transportation of one thousand tons per day, at a speed of six miles an hour. The experiment is now being prosecuted with complete success between some Leicoster- shire stone quarries and a railway station three miles distant, and several on the same model are said to be in course of erection in France, Italy and Spain. The most important point in the invention is the method of passing the points of support, which consists in so curving the frame of the truck box as to make the centre of gravity come under the rope. So admirably is this managed that prominent engineers are now discussing the possibility of constructing a wire tramway be- tween Dover and Calais, Such an invention will find multitudinous forms of application in this country, and ingenious engineers will, no doubt, soon be pushing it upon public atten- tion, basing its claims to favor upon its cheap cost. We see no reason why the grain ele- vators of New York should not be permanently connected by this style of carrier with those of the West. Now For Mississtret.—Mississippi must fol- low in the wake of Virginia, and roll up a vote like a spring freshet for the conservative can- didates, The Irish Republican Convention. fhe delegates to the Irish Republican Con- vention which assembled in Chicago on the 5th inst. have agreed on the platform of poll- tical principle which we publish in the HkraLp to-day. It is as comprehensive in its friendly range as is an Irishman’s heart, and as decisive in its declarations in advocacy of universal freedom as have been the swords of Irish- men on the battle fields both of the Old and New Worlds. The delegates claim ‘‘the right of all to perfect liberty, without regard to race, color, creed or sex.” Negroes, tho ladies—“‘God bless them!”— with the worshippers of the unfortunate Established Church, are all embraced in the affectionate grasp of the Irish Americans, while Cuba and Ireland, with the oppressed nationalities of every other clime, receive words of encouragement in their struggles for the right of self-government. Loyalty to the Union, with a protest against the ‘‘presence of the armed despotisms of Europe on this Conti- nent,” is next enunciated. The Alabama claims, with the repeal of the neutrality laws, also received attention. Perhaps the dele- gates would undertake to collect the former. Senators Sumner and Chandler and President Grant, with the Governor General of Canada, will read and make notes. A Mormon Organ on Chinese Lmmigration— Poor Sambo! The Salt Lake Zelegraph—Mormon organ— says the Mormons do not object to the influx of the Chinese into California and Nevada, or to any other part of the United States, to setile; and as to John Chinaman’s devotions, our Salt Lake contemporary shrewdly suggests that the sectarianists should be really glad of his saying his prayers to anything as long as they were actually the prayers of his heart; and as to his idols, if they are ‘mean looking” sorae inventive Yankee will assist him in far- thering his ideas of architecture ; for instance, the altars and interiors of some of the fashion- able churches of the present day would be very appropriate. ‘‘Yes,” says our Mormon friend, “let him go where his inclination prompts him, and if he is treated as his station only demands, rest assured he will not en- deavor to get seats in Congress, ask to be appointed Minister to Hayti, Postmaster at Macon, Ga., without any bondsman, or com- mit outrages upon defenceless females.” These dagger thrusts at Sambo show how much he is esteemed among the Mormons. What a singular moral spectacle this whole question its. These Mormon people, raised in this country in many instances among a profuse negro population, prefer the influx of the Asiatic element even into their own settlements to that of the blacks. The fact is Sambo and Dinah have been getting along a little too fast in this country within a very few years past to suit the interests of any class of people. In the end the blacks, as laborers, will find them- selves crushed’ between tha upper and nether millstones—the Irish, German and other Euro- peans on one hand, and the Chinese and other Asiatic immigrants on the other. Even the once despised Mormons do not come to the rescue of the negro, now clothed in all the glory a state of freedom can confer upon him, Vinainia Fiants 1 Our on Grant's Ling, — All honor to Grant for his second Appomat- tox victory. Tne Inisn Cavron Brit.—The members of the English House of Lords have come down from their class dignity and abated their sys- tem of Senatorial obstruction to the progress of popular reform very considerably. This is prudent, even if not noble, The Lords are after debating the clauses of the Irish Church bill just like ordinary mortals, calmly and critically, have passed the measure in com- mittee. Private rights and corporate privi- leges are cared for, while ecclesiastical monopoly and episcopal and glebe lands engorgements find but few defenders. This is as it should be. Freedom in religion, with every man to pay his own parson, will secure peace in Ireland. Voting in support of such a remedy for the ills of the island may insure the Lords a longor lease of the law of entail in property. Se Ee eS ‘The Labor Reform Quomion. Thomas Carlyle has somewhere said that the food quostion—the right to eat—which is synonomous with the labor question—the right to work,-untrammelled by “the. combination forces of monopoly”—is at the bottom of every popular revolutionary movement. It is, there- fore, not surprising that in the present awak- ened condition of the working classes through- out the civilized world the labor reform quea- tion should be the question of the day. At the recent convention of the Typographical Union, at Albany, delegates were appointed to attend the Labor Congress, which is to be held at Pittsburg, In Pennsylvania, on the 3d of August. And it is significant of the unsolf- ish purposes of American workingmen that these delegates are especially instructed to urge the passage of resolutions in favor of & project of universal interest—namely, the entrusting of the management of a general postal telegraphic system to the United States government. This project, as the Herar has often conclusively shown, should commead itself to citizens of all classes in our com- munity, Despite all the extravagance and nonsense which found vent yesterday at Harmony Grove, in Framingham, Mass., the labor question was logically discussed there, and an earnest desire was manifested not to pro- voke a useless quarrel between capital and labor, but rather a reasonable equalization of their respective interests for their mutual benefit. There isa certain enthusiasm which cannot fail to excite popular sympathy in the final resolution passed at this convention of the Labor Reform Leagues in the old Har- mony Grove, however much people may differ as to the point of woman’s claim to the privi- lege of voting. This resolution declared that in denying the ballot to woman; in advancing interest on money; in aiding great railroad usurpations to plunder the public ; in refusing, while granting endless privileges to chartered capitalists, to incorporate workingmen for the beneficent purpose of co-operation, the Massa- chusetts Legislature is guilty of high treasom against freedom and honesty, which next No- vember must be rebuked overwhelmingly at the polls. Another resolution inveighed against an exclusive currency, whether of gold or paper, which it charges with enabling the privileged few in control to make interest and prices high, wages low and failures fre- quent, and therefore advises that by remon- strauce we petition and by ballot earnestly second the demand of the National Labor Union for immediate withdrawal of the notes of the national banks, to be replaced by Trea- sury certificates of service, receivable for taxes and bearing no interest, and the provi- sion of free banking associations, whereby money based on commodities. can be pur- chased at cost. The resolutions to which wo have alluded indicate the drift of feeling and opinion which find expression at the nume- rous labor conventions now being held through- out the United States. In Europe as well as America the labor question is, afier all, ‘“‘the qu ion of the day.” The succession of dynasties, Cabinet changes, diplomatic difficulties and all other political questions are really insignificant ia comparison with this question, and at any given moment may have to give way before it. At the fourth annual Congress of the In- ternational Workingmen’s Ass a, which is to assemble at Basle, in Switzerland, ou the 6th of September, the following subjecia will be presented for deliberatio First, tho question of landed property; second, the right to inheritance; third, to what extent oan credit be immediately utilized by the working class? fourth, the question of general educa- tion, and fifth, the influence of Trades Unions upon the emancipation of the working class, All of these questions are of vital importance, and their intelligent discussion by representa - j tives of the classes directly interested in (hom cannot but result in advantage to all clasaea in society. We must, therefore, regard such labor conventions as those which are to be held at Basle and at Pitisburg as healthy tokens of the good time coming, when labor and capital shall at length leara that there is no irrepressible conflict between them and that mutual benefits will ensue from an equita- bie adjustment of their respective rights.

Tae MAN For THe CrtNEsE.—Various movements are afoot for the introduction of Chinese labor, in the South and Southwest, on railroads, levees, cotton plantations, &c., and the first thing needed, after the organization of a company, in view of such labor and the de- mand of the needful capital, is a competent agent to go out to China for the laborers.

He has spent many years in China and the Oriental nations thereahkouts, and among the islands of the great Indian archipelago, and knows all about all those people, He is the autocrat of an island in the Indian Qoean, which he would sell to the government for @ naval station.
