The difference be~ tween Stockton’s democratic principles and the substantial doctrines of the Virginia con- servatives is the difference between the chaff and the wheat. He has thg shadow and they the substance of life and strength in their pos- session, Now, the lesson to bo drawn from this Vir- ginia election is, first, that by pursuing a simi- lar course to that of the sensible Virginia con- servatives the responsible whites of every Southern State, from Virginia to Texas, may secure possession of the State, and in doing it secure the negro balance of power for future operations, Thus, within the short space of a single year, we may have an end in the South of Northern radical carpet-baggers, operating for Southern negro supremacy. Secondly, the democracy of Virginia, ex- rebels mostly, if you please, lamenting tho “lost cause,” have made an example, in the way of a forward movement, which would, if adopted in the North, be rewarded with simi- lar results, They have abandoned their old party notions and have fought and beaten the radicals with their own weapons, They have recognized several fixed facts, and they have accepted the negro as a welcome ally and turned him to a good account, In a word, the conservatives of Virginia have developed a new party organization, which, if followed up by the anti-radical elements throughout the Union, may goon give us the dominant national party of the future, The Great Colorado Canoa—Probable Safety of the Powell Expedition. The story which has been so widely circu- lated of the reported disastrous loss of the en- tire company composing the Powell expedi- tion in the far West is directly contradicted by a letter of Mrs. J. W. Powell to the Detroit Post, who declares that no such person as John A. Risdon, the author of the report and the pretended sole survivor of the company, ever belonged to it, and that the names he gives of the members of the party are, without a single exception, false. The statements of Mrs. Powell, the wife of the leader of the ex- pedition, are indirectly confirmed by a letter from a personal friend of Major Powell, which was published in yesterday's Hrratp. The story of Risdon must be an imposture. Major Powell and several scientific associ- ates some time ago, under the auspices, we believe, of the Chicago Geographical Society, and thoroughly equipped with carefully con- structed boats and all other requisite appli- ances, set out to explore the mystery of the great cafion of the Colorado river. This river rises in the Rocky Mountains, and, swollen by several tributaries, flows in a southwesterly direction about one thousand miles to its point of discharge into the Gulf of California, From the gulf this powerful stream is navigable for several hundred miles up to the great outlet of its great cafion at Fort Colville. The Colorado proper is formed by the junction of the Green river and the Grand river. From this junc- tion down to Fort Colville the distance is lengthened by the sinuosities of the stream to about five hundred miles, through a deep gorge called ‘the Cafion,” with precipitous walls rising on each side from two thousand to five thousand feet in height. The estimated ave- rage elevation of the cafion is three thousand feet. The width of the river at its narrowest point is estimated at one hundred feet, and the line of high water mark at thirty or forty feet above the average stage in Angust. The width of the chasm is, with few exceptions, filled up by the river during the whole dis- tance. The main objects of Major Powell's expedi- tion are to determine the actual course of the Colorado, the character of the great mysteri- ous cafion, the facts of its extraordinary geo- logical formation, with its Jong continued uni- formity of ‘‘white sandstone” and its subse- quent dark, igneous rocks, and the feasibility of its navigation. The results of the explora- tion will doubtless confirm those of the only previous exploration ever undertaken—that of James White, in 1867—and will possess great scientific value as well as much practical in- terest for future settlers. From the successful trip of White with his little raft we are war- ranted to infer the safety of Powell with his far superior boats and other conveniences. The success of Major Powell will be favorable to the development of the almost unknown re- sources of the region watered by the Colorado, and will disclose to the worldyin connection with the Pacific Railroad, oneof the most ex- traordinary wonders of the world. American artists and European tourists in America will not fail to be attracted by the wild, rugged scenery of the cafion of the Colorado. Party Done—The complimentary despatch from the Walker State Committee at Rich- mond to General Grant, in reference to his services towards the great victory of the con- servatives in Virginia. Crry Nvtsances.—We published yesterday the sickening details of the evidence before the Board of Health in respect to the many nui- sances collected in the bone hoiling and fat rendering establishments on the North river, between Thirty-cighth and Forty-sixth streets. We also exposed the condition of one of the worst pest holes in the city at the northwest cor- ner of Broadway and Sixty-eighth street, and ad- verted to others which we had already pointed out on the east side of the istand, particularly Seventy-fourth, Ninety-fourth and 115th streets. With these pest holes in our midst and numerous cases of yellow fever on board of ships lying in our harbor we must again call upon the Board of Health to make im- mediate and thorough efforts to prevent the spread of malignant disease in New York city during the heats of summer. At the same time we heartily commend the increasing dis- position which the Board of Health has lately evinced to do its duty in the premises, Jervenson Davis grows infirm in body as he becomes older in years, He is at present in Paris, from which city his friends in Mon- Tho Irish Church Bil—The Fate of Keclosi« astical Kstablishments, On Tuesday evening, in the House of Lords, the Irish Church bill, having been in a few particulars slightly altered, passed the com- In its amended form the bill will, without delay, be read a third time in the Lords and sent down to the Commons for ap- proval, It is not our opinion that the Com- mons will accept all the amendments; for though the alterations made by the Lords are not numerous, some of them seriously affect the principles on which the measure as & whole is based.

Like Grant in his early campaigns, he “pegged away” at the gold and stock gamblers and got @ great deal of experience, doing better, and will be able to manage his department with increasing satisfaction.

The position of the Secretary of the Treasury at thia period of our history requires the exercise of a patrioticand honest desire to pay the nation’s debts, While Mr. Boutwell seems anxious to do this he should ‘‘make haste slowly ;” for already he has occasioned so rapid a fall in gold that He should remember that the road to specie payment ought not to be strewn with the wrecks and bankruptcies which sudden resumption would certainly facts of modern times, He is gradually years—not the Pacific Railroad, which «is finished, nor the Suez Canal, which is not fin- ished—reveals in so remarkable a manner tho progressive character of this age. sight, sufficient to give fame to a century, to see the descendants of the proud old Norman Barons deliberately striking at the foundations on which for so many ages they have so se- curely rested, This is what we now see; for the pillars of a privileged Church and the pil- lars of # privileged aristocracy are one and the same.

And this oration was hailed in Tammany as the gospel of de- mocracy according to Jefferson. Now mark the position of the Chief Justice.

The Great Eastern, with her mighty cargo, has arrived in American waters, and the new French cable is therefore likely to prove # complete success. Many stockholders in tho new enterprise are also interested in the ex- isting Anglo-American Atlantic Telegraph Company, and it is feared that endeavors will be made by them to buy up the new cable and thereby monopolize the means of communica- tion between the two continents. All free and independent enterprises, and especially those tending to the public benefit, must be, however, allowed free scope in this country, and it is to be hoped that the promoters of the French cable will not listen to any overtures tending to maintain a monopoly. Experience has proved, both in respect to steam communica- tion and the electric telegraph, that the re- quirements increase in proportion to the facili- tics placed at the disposal of the public, In matters of such vast import as the Atlantic cable the public will not be backward in favor- ing the enterprise which endeavora most equitably to satisfy its requirements. Let each undertaking retain its own ground, and if the new French cable remains untrammelled we augur well for it. Important Decision, General Butler, as executor of the estate of his deceased brother, Andrew Jackson Butler, has recently, under an order of the Surrogate of this county, filed a sworn inventory of the property belonging to the estate in Californie and Louisiana. A. J. Butler died in this city. The General made a return of all the assets within thig State, but the court required a re- turn of the whole property, without regard to location, so long as it lay within the limits of the United States. General Butler appealed, and the court of last resort sustained the order appealed from, and the appellant was a snfli- ciently shrewd lawyer to see that it was no use flinching any longer, although, under his privilege as a member of Congress, an attach- ment agatnst his person would be a tronble- some remedy to apply. This case, then, finally settles the question that the property of a person dying within the jurisdiction of a county official in this State must, if required, be brought into this State for adjudication, even though such property be located in an other State at the time of the testator’s de cease.
