M. Rouher's resignation is demanded by the members of the constitutional opposition. The Emperor has not taken any action in the matter yet, but ip all probability will take a definite position within a few days. The Paris Pevple newspaper has another view of the position of both parties, This | journal says that ‘the situation ts not disquieting.” The Great Eastern was expected to reach shoal water yesterday. The Paris journals of last evening announce the resignation of the Ministry. The London Zimes and Star regard the postpone- ment of the Alabama question before Parliament in @ favorable light. Lord Howden, it is said, hus been appointed Minister to Spain. The assignees of Overend, Gurney & Co, will pay a dividend of one shilling on the pound in September, making a full payment of all creditors’ ciaims, with the exception of the accrued interest. The report of the Committee on the Irish Church bill came up last night before the House of Lords, and after some dis- enssion was received. The Spanish Ministry haye been generally con+ demned by the press and the people. The Governor of Catalonia has been dismissed because of his pre- venting a republican demonstration in Barcelona. Miscellancous. General Canby on Thursday expressed his gratifi- cation at the manner in which the Virginia election ‘was conducted, and pronounced It one of the fairest ‘that ever occurred. He says the whole country has cause Of congratulation at the success of the Presi- dent's policy in reconstructing Virginia. Under the reconstruction acts Governor Walker cannot be in- augurated until after the State constitution has been accepted by Congress. Righty-four counties in Virginia give Walker 23,000 majority. The Senate will be composed of thirty-one white conservatives, eignt white and four colored radicals. The House of Delegates will have ninety- seven white and three colored conservatives, and thirty-three white and eleven colorea radicals. The Journeymen Carpenters’ Association of Wash- ington city have ineerted the word “white” in their constitution, thus excluding colored men from mem- bership. Mr. Joho Rose, Canadian Minister of Finance, ac- companied by Minister Thornton, had a long tnter- view with the President yesterday morning. In the evening Secretary Fish entertained Mr. Rose ata dinner party, Which was attended by several promi nent oMcials. ® The Directors of the Buffalo and Erie Railroad yes- terday accepted the proposition to consolidate wigh the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad, sub- ject to the approval of the stockholders. The St. Louis (Mo.) County Court has sent its Presi- Gent and County Counsellor to New York to make some arrangements concerning the protested county bonds. If a proper tribunal decides that the interest ‘upon the bonds must be paid in gold’ the bond nold- era will not be required to wait, but the coin will be paid at once.

Then, perhaps, the popular upris- ing was more violent and more nearly simul- taneous. If at this time there has been less of what we should call unity of effort, and less of immediate and irresistible force, it must be admitted that now the popular discontent is quite as general, and that the expression of this discontent, if less violent, is quite as de- cided as wellas more continuous and more successful. The 1848 outburst was a failure. The popular uprisings of these last two or ihree years have all been more or less success- ful. The British people have demanded two great reforms. One has been obtained. The other is on the point of being achieved. The Reform bill carried under Mr. Disraeli and the extinction of the Irish Church Establishment under Mr. Gladstone have given ample proof to the world that in England the people are now masters of the situation. The resur- rection and reconstruction of Italy, the resur- rection and reconstruction of Germany, the revolutions which have been accomplished in Austria and in Spain, the reforms now being inaugurated in France, not to speak of the changes in favor of the people which have taken place in Russia and in Turkey, show that the European Continent, from some cause or causes, has entered upon a new era less in the interest of absolutism and more in favor of popalar rights. It would not be uninteresting to enter into a full explanation of these changes, to show how tyrannies and privileges are everywhere yield- ing to justice and in favor of popular rights ; but a full explanation is not compatible with our present purpose. This is the less to be regretted that a satisfactory explanation is visible and lies on the surface of things. The secret of the success of all recent popular de- mands is to be found in the telegraph, the railroad, the printing press, and particularly in the newspaper. Formerly it was difficult to get up on any question a common and vigorous public senti- ment. In thé” olden times nations might struggle for months and even years and the world would be ignorant of the fact. This was not more true of nations in regard to each other than it was true of one section of a country towards every other section. A com- mon sentiment could not be created except by years of effort, and hence a powerful public sentiment was next to impossible. Now all is changed. Nothing is more easy now than to thrill the world with a thought. Steam, electricity, the printing press have destroyed all the ancient barriers, have spanned the deep valleys, pierced the everlasting hills, bridged the mighty wastes of waters—have, in | fact, in the language of ancient prophecy, “made the crooked places straight and the rough places plain”—and thus made the world a unit and brought every man close to the ear of every other. If a great thought now finds expression the world If a great action is contemplated sections and nations can move The success of recent popular ont- bursts finds secondary explanation in the extraordinary success of popular gov- ernment in tht United it is some- thing to be taught what todo. It is some- thing to have the mechanical apphances put into one’s hand to give the lessons received a practical shape. It is another and a more important thing to have set before one a living, powerful, compelling example. Such example the United States now exhibits to the world. Time was when the republic was despised. Later, and before the civil war broke out, it was regarded as an experiment. During the war it was pronoun a failure, Since the war it has universally been pronounced an unquestioned, a complete success. As a people we have passed through an ordeal of fire such as no people have passed through in the world’s history. The nations of Hurope have seen us emerge from the flames with hair comparatively unsingod and with scarcely the smell of fire upon onr gar- ments, Our deliverance has been almost hears it. 43 one man es. NEW YORK HERALD SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1869. as miraculous as that of the three Hebrew youths ‘upon whose bodies the fire had no power.” This does not fully state the case. Not only have we sustained little or no injury. We have growo in might and majesty. We have increased in wealth and influence. The late war revealed to ourselves our greatness; and that greatness is now con- fessed before and admitted by the world. Hence the magnetic power which these shores have over the millions of Europe, and hence, too, the confidence which the peoples have found in themselves. If popular government be such’ a blessing why should not that blessing be shared by all ? this is the revolutionary sentiment of the hour; and the sentiment is as much a terror to tyrants as it is an anchor of hope to the op- pressed. With the growing power of steam, electricity and the printing press, and with the increas- ingly influential example of the United States, we may expect to witness more wonderful changes in Europe. We scarcely know what we are. We can form no adequate conception of what we are to become. With truth we can say all our victories are victories in the interests of Christian civiliza- tion and human progress. All our movements are onward and upward. As we move on the peoples everywhere feel the impulse and take courage. As we triumph liberty all the world over nails victory to her standard. Our success already makes it certain that the time is not far distant when the monarchs, the oligarchs, the monopolists, the tyrants of the Old World, by whatever name named, shall be no more. We approach that grand period which shall witness the parliament of man, the federation of the world. Secrotary Boutwell, the Gold Gamblers and the Shylocks. During the ten or twelve days preceding yesterday the Shylocks of Wall street had been feasting on the necessities of those who were compelled to be borrowers of money. All sorts of extravagant rates of interest were paid, in some instances as high as one hundred and eighty percent per annum. Of course such a state of things would eventually lead to mercantile bankruptcy and ruin; for, while the gamblers of Wall street may venture to psy such figares, they are fatal to ordinary business. The first blow dealt to the Shylocks was a purchase by the Secretary of three millions of bonds one day last week. They were inclined to think this was only a piece of bravado on his part, and went to work tight- ening money again. But he repeated the blow yesterday, ‘much to their consternation and confusion, by purchasing still another three millions of bonds. The money thus added to that in circulation is producing the needed re- laxation of the money market, Secretary Boutwell is only repeating suc- cessfully a piece of strategy which he em- ployed equally successfully against the gold gamblers last spring. When the speculators ran up the premium on the importing mer- chants and others having an immediate want for gold he supplied the market from the Treasury and put the price down again. Now that the Shylocks have locked up and made scarce the greenbacks, which ure the founda- tion of banking operations and thus the main- stay of mercantile operations, he is beginning to turn out his currency balance, which, owing to the payments of income taxes at this season, is phlethoric. Secretary Bout- well will make his administration by thus taking the side of the merchants and the pub- lic against the gold gamblers and the Shylocks. Napoleon’s Danger. The governmental crisis which has been in- augurated in France by the Parliamentary ac-' tion of the legislative opposition against the executive tendencies of Napoleon intensifies hourly, and becomes infinitely more serious as it progresses. The radicals now propose terms to the crown, and, as appears from our special cable telegram in another column, will not be satisfied with anything short of the power of. dictating who shall be Minister-in-Chief—in fact, who shall preside over thelr deliberations. They ask that M. Rouher retire from office. Napoleon wishes to please them, but the Min- ister evinces no haste in making his official exit, and the Sovereign does not like to dis- miss him. Ministerial responsibility is de- manded and imperialism compelled to ‘“par- ley” with the legionaries of the advance guard of constitutional freedom in France. In the fruition, as it may be termed, of his youthful dream of the force and grandeur of the ‘‘one- man power,” Bonaparte really experiences the solitariness of the situation. St. Arnaud, De Morney and Mocquard, his early friends, able counsellors and active agents from the day of the coup d'état onward, have been removed by the hand of death, and now come forth the newly enfranchised voices of representative Frenchmen, seeking the official annibilation of Rouher. Will it come to absolute despotism, or the fall of the dynasty? The Emperor can- notrecede. France cannot stand still. Geserat Bram is tie Wrone Suop.—At the meeting of the Army and Navy of the Gulf at Long Branch, the other evening, somewhat, they say, after the style of Andrew Johnson in one of his most remarkable speeches on “our glorious constitution,” General Blair, filled with generous enthusiasm and fraternal affection, proceeded, at this lovefeast and mu- tual admiration society of Union soldiers and sailors, to suggest that “‘we have beard of Far- ragut and Sheridan; but we ehall yet hear of Lee and Stonewall Jackson’—a suggestion which exploded like a bombshell in the camp, and which was, after some confusion, over raled as out of order by Admiral Farragut. We suspect, however, that General Blair, who likes a practical joke, gained his point at the meeting with his startling proposition; and, after all, it was only the squeezing of the lemon over the bowl of punch. Blair's rhetoric, in fact, was the special feature of the festival, Sowrxa tHe Wixo—The British Lords, in their tinkering amendments of the trish Church bill. Let them take care that they do not raise the whirlwind, Nor Cono.vsive.—General Goicouria was released from jail be¢ause the evidence against him was not conclusive that he was a Caban filibuster. Let him see to it next time that it is conclusive, but let it be inside of Cuba. ‘This flibustering on Long Island is a waste of time and money. Expressed or unexpressed, * What the Governor Elect of Virginia « Says of It and of General Grant. The victorious Walker (a New Yorker by the way), the Governor elect of Virginia, is a tramp, a man of decided abilities, and a prac- tical statesman, His congratulatory speech to his friends in Richmond over their splendid triumph in their late election is all that could be desired. He stivks to the principles upon which he fought the good fight, the removal of existing disabilities from white men, test oaths, disfranchisements, &., and says:—‘‘I am now, as I have ever been, for equal and exact justice to all men without regard to race or color.” He has no ill will or resentment for the deluded and misguided radical blacks. He goes for educating them up to the compre- hension of their political rights and duties. That done, ‘‘no more will ignorance be ar- rayed against intelligence, and organized pauperism against property ; but all, without regard to race or color, will strive together in generous rivalry for the common good of our glorious old mother.” This is good, but the Governor elect does not forget to give the honor where the honor is mainly due. He says to “se conservative party that ‘‘you and I stand shoulder to shoulder with the President of the United States for the emancipation of the white race in the South”—that’s the great point; that “Ihave everywhere done honor to the President ;” that ‘‘we are indebted to the personal efforts of the President to-day that the manacles have been stricken from the limbs of thirty thousand white Virginians.” And again, ‘You have made concessions un- paralleled in history,” but “‘you have redeem- ed Virginia,” and ‘“‘she is just about to start upon a new career, glittering like the morning atar, full of life and glory.” Thus, then, we understand the whole case. The radical car- pet-baggers in Virginia, and the misguided black element behind them, are swamped, and the white elements, representing the intelli- gence, capital and property of the State, with the intelligent black balance of power in their support, have secured the State, through the election rules ordered by General Grant estab- lishing fair play upon the special issues before the people. Forney is sorely distressed ; but Forney will have to look sharp or he may before long find himself cut loose from the administra- tion. The day of Southern negro supre- macy is gone, and the day of the emancipation and supremacy of the Southern whites has come; and, according to Governor Walker, its inauguration in Old Virginia is mainly due to President Grant, and it is a towering feather in his cap in the illustration of his reconstruc- tion policy. More Horrors of the Middle Passage. The appalling outrages that occurred on board the James Foster, Jr., are yet fresh in the memory, and again we are shocked by an ac- count of the treatment experienced by immi- grants on board the Alexander Marshall. It is true that the blame this time is laid upon the ship’s servants, and the account mentions that the captain, tho officers and the doctor were kind. This is very well as far as it goes ; but considering that those officers, espe- cially the captain and the doctor, are the most responsible parties on board of an emigrant ship, the responsibility falls back directly upon them. The case of the Alexander Marshall, if the account handed to us is correct, has the look of forced contributions levied from the poor immigrants by the parties whose duty it is to see that the government regulations are duly complied with, and it behooves the cap- tain and doctor especially to see that they are properly carried owt, and these officers are liable for any infringement that may be made by the cooks or stewards to the detriment of the passengers. The matter of good food, properly prepared, on board of an emigrant ship, is the most important feature—the more so when delicate women and children are in the case. Considering the great impulse that has been given to immigration and the induce- ments that have been held out for foreigners to come to this country, it becomes the bounden duty of the authorities to look after and pre- vent the repetition of such cruelties and bad treatment. The horrors of the old slave trade, so ably commented on by poets and philanthropists, fall into the shade before these emigrant ship cruelties recently brought before the notice of the public. It is to be hoped that the proper authorities will take cognizance of the occurrences on board of the Alexander Marshall, and if the reports are proven they should mete out suitable punishment, not only to the actual culprits, but also to those whose duty it is to rectify any abuses that may be committed by their servants. Mr. BuRLINGAME AND His Mussion.—Mr. Burlingame, we are glad to learn, is now fully convinced that his mission will be a complete success. The encouragement he has received in London and in Paris inspires «him with the highest hopes. He anticipates no difficulty in St. Petersburg. Petty opposition has baen got up against him by both Americans and Euro- peans fn China, and much has been done to in- jare him both at the Court of the Tuileries and at the Court of St. James. All opposition has failed, and we are glad to think that Mr. Bur- lingame has the prospect of seeing his noble mission crowned with success. A Demooratio Viotory.—One of our New York copperhead journals having taken one day to explain to the Northern democracy why the Walker party in Virginia accepted negro equality, negro support, negro votes, negro candidates and the fifteenth amendment providing for universal negro suffrage, comes out next day and claims the result in Virginia as a democratic victory. But is Tammany Hall ready to follow this example? ‘That is now the question. Surely the great victory in Virginia points the way to the ruling party of the future. To Au Wuom rr May Co: Citizens leaving town, in leaving their houses without a trusty guard, should remove their valuables to some place of safety ; for the burglars are not asleep. TENNESSKE AND Mississipr1.—Tennessee will be carried by the republican conserva- tives and the democrats, after the fashion of Virginia, and in Mississippi even the radicals have taken ground in favor of white emancipa- tion, So much for the decisive example of Old Virginia, with the helping hand of Presi- devs Grant, The Mismonagement of Sing Sing Prison. The Hera has from time io time of late had occasion to refer to the management of affairs at the Sing Sing Prison. Reports de- tailing how the affairs of this institution are conducted have found due prominence in the columns of this journal, and to judge from the exposés which have been made we feel in- clined to the opinion that the practice pursued in reference to the treatment of prisoners in- carcerated there is far different from what should exist under a proper administration of prison rules. As the management of this es- tablishment rests wholly with the prison in- spectors of the State they are responsible for the loose manner in which the business of the institution is conducted. It is no uncommon thing to find that individuals who have been condemned to a term of imprisonment within the walls of this prison are permitted to visit, whenever the keepers may consent, the village in the immediate vicinity—roam at large, as it were, and to all intents and pur- poses, for the time being at least, act as free as those who have never been brought within the pale of the law for transgressing any of its provisions. ‘That this state of things exists we are credibly informed, and it reflects severely on the management of the institution. Why, prison life under such circumstances iis a farce, the law a burlesque, and the incarceration of criminals under such a rule a miserable mockery. The people of this city are under the impression that, once a prisoner is con- demned by a legal tribunal for the offences with which he is charged, and ‘“‘sent up” to spend a specified term of months or years, as the case may be, under no circumstances should he be permitted to leave his prison, unless by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, the pardon of the Governor, or when his term of imprisonment has expired. These and only these are the conditions of his release. Yet how loosely are the legitimate expectations of the people carried out. That prisoners are allowed too much liberty and that the employ¢s of our prisons are lax in their duties we are compelled to admit. Just fancy a number of prisoners taking possession of a vessel and attempting to escape under a proper system of discipline; or imagine the same class of people committing or attempting to commit outrages outside their prison walls, if ordinary prison rules were observed. Why, these things would be impossible. It is not our intention to yrge severity, but to claim justice—justice to honest people by the proper treatment of prisoners according to the require- ments of the law during their term of service. Only this and nothing more. Tue Cattrornta DEMOCRACY ON THE Ne- GROES AND CuiNEsE.—The democrats of Cali- fornia, at their late State Convention, resolved to rely upon ‘‘the white people of the country to administer and control their government, without the aid of either negroes or Chinese,” and that the subjection to the negroes in our Southern States of the whites, and the disfran- chisement of the whites ‘‘and the denial to them of all those sacred rights guaranteed to every freeman is an outrage,” &c., and that ‘the labor of our white people should not be brought into competition with the labor of a class of inferior people, whose living costs comparatively nothing.” This is a hundred years behind the age. We can tell these Cuali- fornia democrats that negro suffrage is a fixed fact, and that the Southern democrats, under a new organization, are using it with success, and that the Chinese are coming, and that it is sheer nonsense to fight themin California with democratic resolutions. | Have these Cali- fornia democrats heard of the Pacific Railroad and who built it? Looking at the facts around us we must pronounce this California platform the stupidest thing out sinoe the secession or- dinance of South Carolina. Minister Motiey.—Mr. Reverdy Johnson made a muss of things by eating too much plum pudding and roast beef, and by drinking too much wine, while acting the part of United States Minister in England. Good din- ners make men talk often a little too much and often unadvisedly. Minister Johnson’s mis- sion was a failure. Minister Motley knows the reason why. Rumor has it that Motley has fallen into Johnson’s error. We hope not. It will be well, however, for Mr. Motley to be on his guard. Unguarded speeches, though spoken in private, sometimes reach the public ear. A word to the wise is enongh. Tue Party Press oN THE New Powirican Revotution Down Sourn.—The party press does not understand it. The Virginia battle perplexes the politicians of both parties North. To the radical ultras it is an ugly defeat of men with the success of negro equality. To the copperheads it is a success over the radi- cal ticket, involving a surrender of the prin- ciples of the democracy. But it is for all that the inauguration of a new political revolution, with a new Southern balance of power. THE CUBAN FILIGUSTERS, The Expedition Not Entirely Broken Up—Three Hundred Men Encamped at Gardiper’s Island. It was thought that the United States authorities in this city had completely broken up the Cuban expedition, and that the tugs seized up the Long Island Sound contained all that remained of the organization, This, it seems, is a fallacy. It is re- ported on good authority that upwards of 300 men, under Colonel Ryan, are at present encamped at Gardiner’s Island, Long Island Sound, They are comfortably situated in huts made of brnshwood and are in a good state of discipline, They have drawn pretty heavily on the farm product of Colonel Gar- diner, the owner of the island, but the commandant of the expedition has part for all the suppites his men liave taken, THE GERMAN CENTRAL SCHOOL COMMITTEE. man clubs of the Ninth, Tenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Twentieth and Twen- ty-second wards, for reform in the public schools and introduction of the German language as a regu- jar branch of instruction, met at the Cooper Insti- tate, in room No. 24, last night. Mr. Py Ewing called the meeting to order, Lists of the delegates having been presented and read, Mr, Ewing wae elected president and Dr. A. V. Hofer secretary of the meeting. On motion delegates of an independent German ciud of the Tenth, Eleventh and Seven- teenth wards were admitted to the floor, but without votes, On motion Mr. G. W.

WASHINGTON, July 9, 1860, Radical Alarm at the Aspect of Affairs at the South—Mississippi Election Deferred Ua- til November, Amorg matters discussed at the Cabinet meeting to-day the election in Mississippi and Texas ta said to have been the only one of importance discussed. ‘The interest centred in the election in the former State and the time of holding it. Before the Cabinet met a delegation of Misstssippians had called upon the President to consult as to the time for holding the election in vhat State. After a full exchange of views the Preai dent came to the conclusion that the best time would be about the 1st of September. This suited the Mis- sissippians. They had explainea to the President that this was the best time, when the laboring inter- ests of the State needed least attention, and whea the negroes could best be spared from the culti- vation of the cotton crop. They left the President with the understanding that the 1st of September would be designated as the time when the election should take place. When the Cabinet met the rresident brought the subject up and presented his views, which were the same, it is understood, as he had stated to the Mississip- Pians. The extreme radicals of the Cabinet took exceptions to the 1st of September as the time for the election. They thought it should be poal- Ponea to a later day. Mr. Boutwell, i& 18 understood, led off in advancing this opinion, and was seconded by Mr. Creswell. In the course of the long discussion which followed the result of the re- cent election in Virginia naturally came in for com- ment. The radical members of the Cabinet did not seem tobe pleased with the result, They thought ts effect upon the elections to come off in the Northern States in the fall would be bad for the republican party. The indications were that in moat of the States, espectally Pennsylvania and Ohio, the elections would be clogely contested and the republicans could not al- ford to lose any ground. It was conceded Missis- sippi would follow the example of Virginia and give a large majority for the conservative ticket. Texas, oY course, would do the same. This would tend to increase and intensify the effect produced by the Vir- ginia election. Mr. Boutwell, it is stated, suggested that, in view of all the circumstances, the best policy would be to postpone the elections in Mississippi and Texas until after the elections in the Northern States. In this he was warmly seconded by Mr. Creswell. The last Tuesday iu November was proposed for the election in Mississippi. The President and one or two members of the Cabinet thought this would be too late. Mr. Boutwell, however, argued his point so persist- ently that he succeeded in getting a majority of the Cabinet on his side, and the proposition was finally agreed to. The Mississippians are very much disappointed at and dissatisfied with this arrange- ment. They say it will interfere to an alarming ex- tent with the material interests of the state. The time fixed upon occurs in the mid- dle of the cotton-picking season, and the negroes cannot be spared from the cotton fields without detriment to the crop, The result politically, they say, will be the same whether the election takes place in September or November, so that on that account nothing can be gained. It is expected that the President will issue his proclamation ina day or two ordering an election in Mississippt in ac- cordauce with the decision of the Cabinet. Interview of Colonel Warren With Secretary ¥ Fish—The Fenian Question Before the Cabi- net. Volonel John Warren, the famous Fenian, who suffered tmprisofment in England and was released through the interposition of our government, had an interview with Secretary Fish to-day. Colonel War- ren represented the cases of several American citi- zens incarcerated in England on charges of Fentan- ism, and urged prompt interference in their behali. Some of the Fentan prisoners were tried and con- victed for acts done and words spoken in America, and not for any treasonable conduct on British soli. Colonel Warren told Secretary Fish that in all such cases the American government should make a «e- mand for thew immediate release. If Ameri- can citizenship was to be no protection abroad the fact slould be understood, so that foreigners may know hereafter what it is wort to them to swear allegiance to the United States. Secretary Fish asked Colonel Warren what he woula have the government do in case England should de- cline to release the prisoners, “You should insist upon it,” answered Warren. “But suppose England should still refuse” sug- gested Fish. 4 “Why, then, you should fight for it,” replied Warren. “You have promsed protection to naturalized as well as native citizens, and you should extend itto them at every hazard. England haa always protected her subjects under sisaliar circum- stances, and has @ more glorious record in that way than America.” Secretary Fish promised to lay the matter before vhe attention of the Cabinet, and itis understood that the subject was among those discussed at the unusually protracted meeting to-day, The Cabinet remained in session until four o'clock in the afternoon, a fact which has ‘ed to various rumors as to the subjects that occupied so much attention. One authority has it that the Alabama claims were discussed, in conse- quence of certain supposed information that a des- patch had been received from Mr. Motley detailingythe particulars of an interview with Messrs, Clarendon and Gladstone. Another declares that Cuban mat- tors were the great theme of discussion. Still an- other has it that all the talk was about what waa io be done with Virginia—whether the Old Dominion was to be considered constructed according to radical requirements, and whether Walker could be al- lowed to officiate until Congress should declare the State properly restored. Yet another makes War- ren and his Fenian demands the great question of the four hours’ conference; while lastly, there are @ few who lean to the opinion that reciprocity witt. Canada monopolized pretty much tne entire sitting of the Cabinet. The truth is, perhaps, that all these subjects occupied the attention of the meeting, but how and to what end of course is not known, Interview of the Canadian Minister of Fle nance with the President, Hon. John Rose, Canadian Minister of Finance, who is supposed to have come here with a view of sounding our government relative to a new reci- procity treaty, had an interview with the President to-day in company with Mr. Thornton. The inter- view extended to the hour of Cabinet meeting. Mr. Rose is accompanied by his son. It will be re- membered that Mr. Rose is also commissioned on the part of Great Britain touching the Hudson's Bay claims. He will probably remain here for some days, This evening Secretary Fish gave a dinner party in honor of Mr. Rose, at which Mr. Thornton, Assistant Secretary of State Davis, and other om. cials were present. It is understood that the busi- neas on which Mr, Rose visits the United States waa informally discussed, Excluding Negroes = Fr Aasocin Some of the workingmen’s associations here, warned by the troubles of the Printers’ Union, are taking measures to keep the negro out of their merm- bership. ‘The house carpenters held a meeting (ast evening, at Which a constitution was adopted, wherein the word “white” was inserted in all places where the character of the members of the associa- tion ia described. Some objection was made that the word was unnecessary, because if the name of a negro was presented for membership he could be re- jected by a vote of the association. A majority of the members, however, thought that it was better to make assurance donbly sure, by providing that negroes wauld be ineligible co membership, and thia ‘was finally agreed to, It is sald that other working- men’s associations will take similar action, Executive Appotutmenta, Coartland ©, Lements has been appointed Sur veyor General of Utah, Bara Farrington has boea appointed Postmaster at Newburg, New York, vice Joseph Lomar, suspended.
