It is to be regretted that this great moral victory of science and skill should be met at the threshold of our own shores by an opposi- tion both unreasonable and unjust. In a pe- cuniary point of view that opposition is un- doubtedly powerful, but in an enlightened and common sense aspect it is unworthy of the con- sideration of a growing nation like ours, The question of landing the French cable on our shores is one not to be settled by any one or any two members of the Cabinet at Washing- ton. It is a question for Congress alone to determine; and, meanwhile, in the interim of the assembling of the next Congress, it is not improper to advise the managers of the French cable to progress in their great work until it shall not only bear fruit on French soil on the Continent of America, but become immedi- ately a native institution by baptism in the waters of the United States, even if it be at the snug little fishing town of Duxbury, Massa- 1867¢ and closed Qt LIT 4s a 1ST Prominent Arrivals ya the City.

Brest and St. Pierre shake hands, and the clink of the jubilant goblet in honor of the event is almost heard simul- taneously in both places, each the representa- tive locality of a hemisphere, Thus is another bond of universal unity established ; and that pation is both craven and wicked that does chusetts. The Chinese Laber Convention. The Chinese Labor Convention which organized in Memphis, Tenn., yesterday, is not, as its title of association would seem to import, an assemblage of natives of the Celestial empire, but an aggregated repre- sentation of American citizen delegates from the Southern and Southwestern States and California, charged to shape and adopt a plan likely to afford the most certain means of obtaining a supply of labor hands from China and India, It is a question of the highest importance, whether it be regarded in an industrial and social point of view in the present or the aspect of its direct bearing on our form of government in the future. Economic and patient, hardy and enduring, speculative and shrewd, the people of China, having once tapped the side of their hoary native land by the march of an emigrant exodus, have been quick in their appreciation of the advantages and profits of the transplantation, and hence have continued to pour into California in very large numbers during the past few years. The aid which they afforded in the building of the Pacific Railroad, as well as the man- ner in which they conducted them- selves during the progress of the work, told in their favor, and hence, perhaps, may be traced, more or less directly; the origin of the present movement. Chinese would no doubt make excellent ‘‘hands” and “cunning” craftsmen in the fields and work- shops of the South. Accepted as a freeman he must eventually become a voter, and then will arise the really important issue which must eventually result from his presence. Will he be for the South or the North ?—a denizen to roam at will or an appanage of the soil? We have liberated the African and absorbed both the Caucasian and Teuton, What will bocome of the Asiatic, or of our race with the Mongolian? not wish good speed to all such undertakings and great joy to all engaged in them. Our citizens remember the excitement that attended the laying of the present Atlantic cables, They recollect how the splendid United States steam frigate Niagara left this port on the 20th of April, 1857, to assist in the great internation’! work of submerging the first cable. They will also remember how the then Secretary of the Navy, the venerable Toucey, who seemed to have no idea above the enter- ing of a caveat fora patent for a newly in- vented wooden nutmeg—how he refused to allow a HeRraLp correspondent to go out in the Niagara, whereby much interesting cable history is lost to the world. They will recol- lect how the Niagara met the English man-of- war Agamemnon, and how they both united their energies for the accomplishment of this sublime endeavor of connecting the Old and the New Worlds, and how, when everything was supposed to be working well, suddenly, with scarcely a moment's warning, the cable snapped—snapping at the same instant the very heartstrings of those whe had watched its progress as a mother watches the dawning mind of a beantifal child. They may remem- ber the descriptions showing how even old oaken-hearted tars sobbed and wept at the disaster; wept as if the tie that had bound them to darling sweethearts and jolly old ship- mates bad been sunderad, smitten, as it were, by a sharp scimitar. They will also recollect the magnificent advertising spectacular procession in this ity om the Ist of September, 1858, in how of the suc- cessfil baying of the cableman event that caused our citizens the loss of the cupola of their City Hall by fire— how the bellringer of the Hall, not Victor Hugo's ‘‘Bell Ringer of Notre Dame,” but a bellringer who cared not a ——~; how he rang out the startling alarm. They will remember how the city was gorgeously illuminated, and everybody was having a gorgeous time in honor of the grandest achievement of modern science. They wil remember i congratu- latory telegram from Queen Victoria to President Buchanan, and the response from Buchanan to Victoria. And anon flashed other telegrams, sigaed by the memorable De Saaty, or De Sauty—such is fame—when again there was a break, and everything in the Atlantic cable line became mystified and bewildering. Our readers will now pause for awhile, pending our contest for national existence, and then, with a dighttax npon their memo- ries, they will recall the telegram from Cyrus W. Field announcing, on the 29th of July, 1866—eight years after the fret failure—the fact that thrilled the peeple throughout the length and breadvh of the Jand, that tae cable had been successfully laid by the Great East- ern, and signals were perfeat between Great Britain and America. Also how, sur mounting all difficulties and disheartening trials, by the indomitable energies and tireless zeal of Mr. Field, another cable was finally laid, the lost one recovered, and that now, in 1869, we have two lines of cable connecting the shores of Great Britain and Ireland with the Ameri- can Continent. With this Brief and hasty review of what QvEEN VicToRIA AND Mr, GrorGe Pga- nopy.—The kind and gracious letter which Queen Victoria wrote to Mr. George Peabody on his recent departure from England for America is equally creditable to the head and the heart of that amiable sovereign. This tribute of her Majesty to the American philan- thropist, to*whom she offers ‘ther personal thanks for all he has done for the people,” is all the more acceptable to him and to his fellow cpuntrymen from the well remembered fact that Queen Victoria and the late Prince Albert, her lamented consort, proved them- selves stanch friends to us during the doubts, difficulties and dangers of the darkest and most critical hours of our recent war. It is doubt- less due to their united influence that even the Alabama question is less likely than it might have been to involve England and America in a fatal international quarrel.

Tue Turr is ENcuanp—Terrinie Siaven- TER OF THE Aristocracy.—The raid which the British government is now making upon betting houses might well be extended to Tattersall’s, and it probably will be, if it shall be realized that the havoc and slanghter among aristocratic victims of the turf cannot otherwise be stayed. Even the most radical opponent of the English aristocracy must be shocked by the ruin which gambling on the turf has lately spread in its ranks, The fate of the late Marquis of Hastings and the Duke of Newcastle, and the Earl of Westmoreland and Lord Courtenay, é iutit quand, a once threatens and warns their fellow patrician’, When it can be @aid without contradiction that half {le members of the House of Commons and more thah “half the Lords are habitual gamblers on the turf,” itis surely time for the people of England to demand that an evil which has thus assumed almost national proportions should be investi- gated and checked. ———____. Tak Staten Istaxn Horror.—The extra- ordinary double tragedy at Staten Island, which yesterday shocked our community—the murder of a young girl, of eleven years, and the snioide of her murderer—appears to have resulted from a ftof delirinm tremens, This Staten Island horror is a more impressive and, we hope, a more effectual warning againat in- temperance than the most eloquent lectures of Gough and all the probibitory liquor laws of Maine and Massachusetts, SgrviA AwakING.—The little principality of Servia, which recently had her prince assas- sinated, has not been killed by the blow. It seems rather to have been awakened into newness of life, Some few days ago we learned that the project of the new constitu- tion had been completed. The constitution, we were told, contemplated the equality of citi- zens, ministerial responsibility, liberty of the press, independence of judges and autonomy of the Legislative Chamber, We are now told that the first of those reforms has been pro- mulgated by the government. This is good for Servia. It shows us that reform, with Grm and vigorous step, is marching eastward. The Irish Charch Bill ahd the Lorde—The | The Secretary of the TrensuryThe Sink- Bul Read a Third Time and Passed. On Monday evening the Irish Church bill was read a third time in the House of Lords and passed. It will be seen from our cable news that the debate was more than usually stormy. It must indeed have been one of the grandest nights which the gilded chamber of the Lords has Seen in many a long year. There was eloquence—the eloquence of those who look to the opening future and of those who look back and lean upon the dying past— the eloquence of hope and the eloquence of despair. The aged Earl of Derby, once known as the Rupert of Debate—a foeman who has crossed swords with Canning, with Brougham, and with most of the great Parliamentary champions in three genera- tions, seems to have spoken with but a little of his earlier energy and power. Like a baron of the olden time, and like the old French guardsman, his words in this life and death struggle were “‘No-surrender.” Find- ing bis cause hopeless, and still unwilling to yield, he announced his intention to protest against the passing of the bill, and when the bill was passed the protest of the tory chief was formally presented, The first fight of the evening was on the question whether or no the Irish Bishops should retain their seats in the House. It was keenly contended that they should, but when it came to a division it was carried by a majority of one hundred and eighty against eighty-two that they should not. The next great fight was on the ques- tion of concurrent endowment—that is, that the money obtained from the sale of the church property be used for the purpose of equally endowing Catholics, Presbyte- rians and Episcopalians. On this question the whole weight of Eurl Russell was thrown in the scale against his an- cient friends, and when it came to adivision it was found that the principle of concurrent endowment was carried by o majority of seven, The bill was then passed. Having now been carried through the House of Lords, the bill in its amended form will be carried down to the Commons. How will the Commons act is now the great question, We have no idea that the decision come to by the Cabinet on Saturday will be departed from. Disendowment in fact—as well in fact as in name—must be complete. Concurrent en- dowment is opposed to the fundamental princi- ple of the bill, On this point, therefore, we may expecta further fight. The decision of the Lords on this particular question is simply absurd. The Catholics have again and again said they do not want endowment. The Earl of Dunraven on Monday evening, speaking in their name, very properly said that concurrent endowment meant not disestablishment and disendowment, but disestablishment and re- endowment. Even Lord Cairns, the Tory leader, could not agree to such an arrange- ment, believing as he did that indiscriminate endowment was unsuited to Ireland. We shall now have lively times in the House of Com- mons. MoperN Morro oF AMERICAN CIVILIZA- triox—Bring on your cables. Tue MISSION OF THE GREAT EAsTERN.— When the builder of the steamship Great Eastern launched her he supposed she would be the marvel of the commercial world. In this capacity she proved almost a complete failure and a ruinous loss to all who had a pe- cuniary interest in her; but her mission upon the waters has been found in her vast capacity to lay the chain that binds humanity together—an underwater highway that makes the nations of the earth a common brother- hood. Her name should be changed from the Great Eastern to that of the Great World. Tenement House Nvuisances.—The graphic description of the filthy, ill-ventilated, dan- gerous and overcrowded tenement houses of New York which we published yes- terday is but continuation of our efforts for many years past to have these hor- Tible nuisances abated. The whole commu- nity is deeply interested in this object, inas- much as the pestilence which is born and bred in these dreadful sinks of poverty and crime may at any given moment rise with giant strength and fury and stalk through the town, slaying thousands of every class. We again invoke the expression of public senti- ment in condemnation of the heartlessness of avaricious landlords and the culpable negli- gence of the authorities specially charged with the duty of enforcing the laws, which require that all our houses—tenement houses included—shall be properly built and ven- tilated and provided with means of escape from fire. It is inexcusable that in any city in this country the poor should be exposed tothe evils which are the reproach of Londen and other centres of dense population in Europe. Loogma Arrer Treasvry Fravps.—iyo ing Fusd. Secretary Boutwell flanked the Wall street jobbers, hindering for the present all further artificial attempts to tighten money, giving everybody a fair chance and precluding any charge of a leak on the part of Treasury offi- cials, by the selection of Sunday evening— when Wall street was silent and deserted—as the time to make public his order for the pur- chase of three millions of bonds weekly during the rest of July. The order itself—which will, by nine millions for three weeks to come, swell the total purchase of bonds for the month to sixteen millions—is another bold and judicious step in the line of the states- manlike and apparently permanent policy de- termined upon by tho Secretary of the Trea- sury. The three millions bought the other day are not to be added to the sinking fund, but are to be set apart to await the action of Con- gress at its next session. Congress, however, cannot fail to endorse Mr. Bontwell’s policy of devoting the proceeds of the Treasury sales of gold to the purchase of the five-twenties, in accordance with his double authorization (sec- tion 5, act of February 25, 1862, and section 1, act of Jnly 11, 1862) to make purchases of bonds, employing his large surplus of tunds in such a manner as to economize expenditures and improve the public credit. The acts above cited were practically “a dead letter on the statute book” until Mr. Boutwell became Secretary of the Treasury. On the 12th of last May the Secretary inaugu- rated the purchase of government bonds in the open market. The entire amount pur- chased in May was $3,070,000. Since the 1st of June, according to tables which we published on Monday in our Washington cor- respondence, the amount of the sinking fund on the 30th of June was $8,862,810, including the full value of the bonds purchased and $171,810, the interest saved on them. Since the 30th of June another million of bonds has been bought and added to the sinking fund. At this rate the taking in of bonds will soon lead to an im- mense saving of interest. Moreover, it has been well said that ‘‘the spectacle of a country reducing one per cent annually of its debt is something so uncommon as to have a very direct tendency to enhance its credit.” Mr. Boutwell’s financial policy is commendable as tending to make money easy, to save interest, to reduce our national debt and to enhance our national credit, The large surplus of funds which enables him to pursue such a policy in- dicates the incalculable resources of the United States. Von Beust and the Ecumenical Cofncil. The Ecumenical Council has frightened Prime Minister Hohenlohe of Bavaria. He is a man of liberal ideas, but evidently somewhat fearful. He dreads the possible doings of the Ecumenical Council. He has in consequence addressed a circular to the Catholic Powers requesting a congress and advising joint action for the sake of protection. We have referred to this subject before, but the latest news invests it with fresh importance. It appears that Von Beust, the Chancellor of the Austrian empire and the responsible adviser of Francis Joseph, has replied to Prince Hohenlohe and has refused to take any partin the proposed congress of the Catholic Powers, for the very sensible reason that he has no right to antiei- pate the decistons of the Council. In his opinion it is time enough to interfere when the decisions of the Council shall be found to be against the rights of States. We have always looked on Baron Beust as one of the great- est of the statesmen of Europe. Since Sadowa he has even more than Napo- leon been the rival of Bismarck. He has saved Austria, He has done more— he has given Austria a new lease of life. This reply which he has sent to Prince Hohenlohe is, nevertheless, the most convincing evidence we have yet had of the man’s superiority. It shows us that he thoroughly understands the character of the times. Church and State he sees aré no longer one. Each has its separate sphere and its separate functions. We now understand the reason why Von Beust can be personally a Protestant and officially the Chicf Minister of one of the greatest of Catholic States. Von Beust evidently understands the meaning and comprehends the value of steam, electricity, the printing press and, especially, the newspaper. He is one of the few states- men who are worthy of a great position in a great nation in this go-ahead hge We wish Von Beust success. As to Prince Hohenlohe, who is also doing a good work and in a similar direction, we would only say:—‘Have less fear. The tyranny of popes and ecumenical councils is a thing of the past. The narrow way to heaven is no longer their exclusive property. Do well and have faith.” Two Great SUCCESSES As JupitEEs—The Methodist National Camp Meeting at Round Lake, New York, and the German Saengerfest contraband whiskey distillers have been sent [ at Baltimore. Amen, up to the State Prison in Pennsylvania, and, moreover, the emissaries of the Treasury De- ‘eared are actively at work among the raddulent sugar dealers along the line of the Mississippi, and ‘also among the cigar mer- chants of this city and elsewhere. We are gratified tn these things to perceive that ‘‘an honest collection of the revenues” is not for- gotten by Mr. Boutwell. In short, in his general management of his important depart- ment, he is getting on as wellas could be expected and much better than was generally predicted. j Cvna.—From our latest accounts from Cuba we judge that the liberals are bravely not only holding their own, but still gaining ground, Let them do so for a month or two longer and they will in all probability some fine morning hear great news from Madrid. Frarrvt Morrariry—That among the Washington newspapers, Under the present administration their sops and crumbs from the government kitchen have been cut shot, and now, in addition to the old Intelligencer, the Great Republic and a Sunday tender of the Intelligencer have come under the hammer, Tre PRNNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY are ex- pected to define their position to-day, and they are expected to call upon General Hancock to lift them upon theis legs once more, as the Ohio democracy have oalled upon General Rosecrans. We shall have both political parties in the fall in a very fauny state of oon- fusion, from presant appearances, ——— Tar ‘Ymanm Exgcrioy.—The official returns show that the Virginia election, after all, was a pretty sharply contested battle between the conservatives and radicals, and that the registered negroes were more nearly represented at the polls than the registered whites. Thus the general results show that in their concessions to the blacks the conserva- tives gained the negro balance of power. But will they now seek to hold it? That's the question. GenegraL Grant ror Lona Branon.—Gen- eral Graat, it appears, will leave Washington to-morrow in a war steamer for Long Branch (by way of New York, we suppose). Those aplendid drives of the Branch over the Jersey plains are an attraction which General Grant could ngt resist, He has tried them, and they say that he says they are very fine, the anost in the country in July and August, with a fresh afternoon breeze from the sea, Mr. Van Dyox Att Ricut.—In counting up the money turned over to General Butter- field, the new Assistant Treasurer, from Mr. Van Dyck, late Assistant Treasnrer of the United States tor the Sub-Treasury of this city (nearly one hundred and three millions in gold coin, gold ingots, silver and nickel coin and paper money), it has turned out all right to @ penny in the tally between the actual cash on hand and the books, This is sufficient honor to Mr. Van Dyck for a lifetime and longer too, and we expect the same report in his turn in honor of General Butterfield, LT Woman’s Rights aud Fema’ juffrage. After twenty years—an unmentionable pe- riod in the lifetime of an ordinary woman—of active outdoor agitation Miss Susan B, An- thony finds herself in Convention at Saratoga. She is looking for woman's suffrage or the right of ladies to cast ballots at elections and play ‘‘short boy” round the polling places, instead of rocking the cradle, mending the baby’s stockings, or taking a due and natural care that these interesting resting places are healthily filled with the feet of infantile natives, instead of our remaining dependent, to such extent as we are just at present, on foreign emigration for the men and women of the future. Miss Anthony was supported yesterday by the veteran reformers, Celia Bur- leigh and Mrs. Gage, with Mrs, Wilbur, Mrs, Martin and other well known universalist libe- rators, Millard Fillmore, a very nice old gen- tleman, was present, in the hope, it may be, that he would catch an idea or two of progress from the utterances of the ladies, spinster or matron, no matter which, so as the thought was happy and likely to be utilized with advantage ia the future. Having proclaimed the perfect acquaintance of the ladies with the “machinery of conventions,” Miss Anthony made the startling announcement—startling in a day of telegraphs, penny postage, penny newspapers, evening tea parties and Methodist camp meetings—that ‘‘wo- men had no means of communication to enable them to advise together;” and then went on to state the object of the Convention in the words that it was for the removal of all “constitutional and legal barriers,” so that “women may have an equal right to work or starve, according to their talent.” The Fourth of July celebration in Buffalo was conducted, she said; by women, and they will not be “treated as dolls” or with ‘‘small talk” any longer. ‘To a heretic mate, who inquired what was to be done with St. Paul's assertion that ‘women should be subject to their hus- bands,” Miss Anthony replied, “The same as men do to others of his sayings—pass them by.” Liberated from St. Paul, the Bible and home duties, and with the negro free and a voter, there is no doubt but Miss Susan B.

Tue War IN PARAGUAY. —By way of Lis- bon and through the Atlantic cable we have a brief telegram purporting to report the pro- gress of the war in South America to the 16th of June, The despatches state that the Con- federate allies had fought a decisive battle with and achieved a complete victory over the Paraguayan army. This is not, as will be seen, asserted positively, but said to have been “yeported” as news at Rio previous to the de- parture of the mail. It must consequently be taken cum grano salis, awaiting our special correspondence in detail at that port. We re- collect the ‘“‘reliable contrabands” of our own civil war. Tur Hon. Reverpy Jonson's Dyspepsia Too much English roast beef and plum pud- ding.

Foreseeing the requirements and studying the comforts of a travelling public, Mr. James Fisk, Jr., has takea a step that cannot fail to be duly appreciated by all, The new cabs, or stages, running between Fifth avenue and the Twenty-third street ferry are a boon to the public, and the new feature of taking pas- sengers free of all charge will doubtless secure considerable patronage. Mr. Fisk has proved that he studies the wants of the public in more instances than one, and on our onward margh of progress we want such men, and it were advisable if other managers of public enterprises were to follow his example.
