An analysis of the August statement of the public debt, issued yesterday, exhibits m reality an in- crease of $8,415,043 since the July statement was issued, but as Secretary Boutwell adds the accrued interest and ignores the bonds issued to the Pacific Railroad, on apparent decrease of $7,485,744 Is shown. The President, witn a numerous party, made the Uttle village of Bricksburg, N. J., perfectly gay with their presence yesterday. Their vielt was paid to Robert Uampbell, stepfather of Mrs. C. A. Stetson, Jr. The villagers were fully prepared for the dis tinguished arrivals, and welcomed them with can- Bon, flowers and a poem delivered by a little girl of tive. The party returned to Long Branch tn the afternoon, and all, the President especially, ex- ‘pressea themselves delighted with the day’s epjoy- ment. A new issue of greenbacks, of entirely different 4esigns from those now in circulation, has been de- cided upon by Secretary Boutwell on account of the umber of spurious tens now afloat.

He resisted stoutly and wounded several of the lynchers, one of them perhaps fatally. Itis believed that most of the gang to whicn the horse thief belonged will bé lynched when caught.

Our St. Domingo correspondent gives in a letter on our triple sheet this morning a highly interesting andgraphic description of Samana Bay. It is evi- ent from his description that not only on account of its proximity to the butressea of the republic ta Samand Bay a valuable acquisition that our govern- ment should secure. Independent of its coaling fa- cilities, the bay is @ land-locked harbor that offers most excellent anchorage for our vessels. President Baez told our correspondent that he had given no powers to any one to negotiate for its sale, and that if the United States want it they must open the nego- tiations with him, “Our Harbor Defences” ts the title of an articiefon in another column, which should be read by ail who fear a war with England. It appears from this that the defences are so complete that they may defy the navies of the world. The modern appliances of war have been fully adopted by the numerous forts that guard the entrances to the city, and new works of immense Strength are being erected on the most ad- ‘vantageous points and crowned with the moat ser- viceable armaments, so that the presence of a co- operating tron-clad fleet might be dispensed with even in the event of war.

Axspy Repivivus.—The last man from Ten- nessee says that Andy Johnson will undoubt- edly make a vigorous effort to secure the privi- lege of presently representing that State in the United States Senate. This ought to be true, and we hope it is. If Andy makes any effort it will be a vigorous one, and we therefore hope he will follow the advice so vainly given to Mrs. Dombey and “‘make an effort.” Partly this hope is selfish. Times are dull now. In- sipidity reigns even at the watering places. There will be spice in the world once more in a moderate way if Andy makes an effort, But partly, also, the hope is patriotic, for Andy, in all soberness, ought to be in the Senate. No man in the United States could be of more use there, and there. is no man whom the radical faction would less like to there. InrorMatION WaNTED.—The editor of the Wilcox (Ala.) Vindicator wants to know what became of the forty-two thousand dollars ap- propriated by Congress for the benefit of the colored people of that county during the years 1866 and 1867. The Mobile Register likewise wants to know what became of the seventy- five thousand dollars appropriated at the same time for the benefit of the colored people of Dallas county. Furthermore, the Register wants to know where the five thousand dollars in gold, lately received at Camden by steamer Emma No. 2, came from, The Register might obtain some information on the latter point if he were to inquire of some of the number one radical emissaries now in Alabama on elec- tioneering tours. In regard to the other mat- ters, all information necessary for the public eye ¢an be reached through any of the white- washing reports of Congressional committees, whose duty it has been to investigate the charges of wholesale frauds perpetrated by those Northern carpet-baggera who have been out South to disburse Uncle Sam's money in all sorts of ways. Tue Raprioat Sprrit.—The programme of Wells, of Virginia, indicates the peculiar direc- tion in which radical fancy ever runs, He has been beaten at the polls, and is nowhere before the people. No matter; he must have the re- sults of victory just the same as if he had the victory, Canby must not announce the result till Congress meets, and Congress must hold the matter in suspense till the session goes over and thus continue in office the present powers, defeating the whole purpose ot the election. This highwayman’s plan eomes from the present Governor himself, Loxa Brancu Discirrine.—It is proposed that General Grant should take a long branch of birch and make the backs of the Spanish interlopers in Cuba tingle for their utter dis- regard of American rights and interests. people. and short-sighted conduct of the administra- tion is generally condemned and affords a good subject for democratic thunder, pendence and acquisition of Cuba is a political issue that will last some time. Cuba is free and annexed, should that be ac- complished, it would be excellent political ma- terial for whatever party might be most in- strumental in securing the freedom and an- nexation of the island, just as the results of our late war have been the best political capital for the Domecracy. After months of repose anda state of un- Certainty as to what course could be taken to revive the hopes of the democracy, Tammany last night was aroused again to action, The sleeping, or, rather, the smothered volcano burst forth once more, and a great noise it made, as may be seen from the full reports published in another part of the Herarp to- day. | It has yet to be seen, however, whether anybody was hurt or terrifled. The gathering had all the éclat of a meeting during a politi- eal campaign, and was presided over by Mr. A, Oskey Hall, the Mayor of the city, The first object appears to be to exercise some influence over the elections to take place in several States this week, though rather late for that, and the second to lay down @ platform for future action. The resolutions adopted at the meeting may be regarded, therefore, as the platform and new departure of Tammany in the fight to be made on the administration and with the domi- nant radical republican party, The rights of naturalized citizens abroad and the protection of all Americans in foreign lands are the leading ideas proclaimed in the resolutions, And these are made the basis for assailing the administra- tion for its shortcomings and neglect to protect our Irish-American citizens who have been imprisoned by the British government, and the Americans who have been executed by the Spanish authorities in Cuba, manded that the United States government shall make an issue with England on its old tory dogma of ‘‘once a subject always a sub- ject,” and insist upon the same rights for adopted as for native-born citizens. The ad- ministration is denounced for not doing this, as well as for truckling to Spain and suffering Americans to be executed or treated with great cruelty in Cuba, Strong ground is taken also in favor of the Cubans, for the Tammany democrats say that they will, as far as they can without rendering themselves amenable to the neutrality laws, endeavor to succor and comfort the struggling people of Cuba. It is de- This platform ig calculated to catch the Irish vote as well as that of other adopted citizens, But with regard to the recognition of the right of expatriation or change of allegiance there will be shortly no issue at all. are conceding this, and the old dogma of once a subject always a subject is practically given up. Even England, which has held it so long and tenaciously, is preparing to surrender by some legislative action or dq@paration of the government. so inimical to the enlightened spirit of the age, pression among our zens that the administration does not act with vigilance and boldness in protecting them when they are on British soil, and this will have its effect, But the issue is not broad and comprehensive enough, and will not last long enough for the platform of a great national party. With regard to the question of C. ba there is more vitality in that. The people of all classes and sections, native All nations She cannot maintain a doctrine Nevertheless there is an im- Irish-American citi- It is a live one. and adopted citizens, sympathize with the heroic Cubans struggling for freedom. The issue between the colony and the mother country is fairly made, and the insurrection is sufficiently strong and has promise enough of success to call for the sympathy and recog- nition of every republic and republican On this question, too, the weak The inde- Even after for the republicans. This, then, we regard as the best plank in the Tammany platform; only the democrats did not make as much of it as they should have made. Still, this new departure of the democracy is not sufficiently broad and comprehensive. It is too negative. Denunciation of the admin- istration is not enough. There is not in the resolutions any question of great national policy with a view to the future, The reduc- tion of our burdensome taxation, the best and easiest way to pay the debt, the stupendous national bank monopoly, the currency ques- tion, the policy of the republican party in pro- tecting special interests to the injury of the mass of the people and ruinof our mercantile marine, the lavish grants of land and money to the Congressional and lobby monopolists for internal improvements, the reckless extravagance of the republican party since it has been in power, and numerous other subjects of vast import- ance, affecting the welfare of the country, were all ignored. It seems, really, that the politicians of Tammany have no comprehension of important national questions, and that they are only playing a little game of their own to secure the spoils of this city and State, just as they did in the last National Convention, when they insisted upon the nomination of Seymour. ‘The democrats have a prospect before them if they will look only to great national ques- tions and interests and make their local schemes subordinate to these. Their plat- form must be comprehensive enough to satisfy the democracy of the West and South, as well as that of New York. They must leave the dead issues of the past and adapt themselves to the new state of things and the require- ments of the future. In short, the democratic party must have a broader platform than that laid down at Tammany last night, and become, as it used to be, entirely national, or it fails, Poutttoan ComMuNisM.—The Irish home revolutionary sympathizers had a “‘great day” in Limerick yesterday. Twenty thousand persons marched in procession through the streets of the city. Tho demonstration was in advocacy of the release of some political pri- soners of that nationality now held in the jails of Great Britain, The assemblage was orderly. A letter to Mr, Gladstone, setting forth the object of the promoters, was adopted. Contem- poraneous with this we have our report of the meeting in Tammany Hall last evening—a move in the same direction as regards impri- soned Irishmen and Cubans. Submarine cables may tend to revolutionize our political system more completely und inaugurate an era of world-wide ¢itiaen communism. The August Elections. The election for State Treasurer and mem- bers of both branches of the Legislature took place in Kentucky yesterday. The State has , gone largely democratic, as was to have been expected, the majority for Seymour at the last Presideatial election being upwards of seventy- six thousand over Grant. Mr. James W. Tate, the present incumbent, has been re-elected State Treasurer by a very handsome majority. The Legislature, it is stated, will be composed of an unusual number of men of ability, seve- ralable gentlemen having accepted nomina- tions and been elected who have eachewed politics for several years past, among them General Joseph H. Lewis, of Barren county. The democrats hold the reins very tightly in Kentucky, and with their immense majority no especial significance can be attached to the vote yesterday other than that the party in possession intend to bold on to power so long as the people shall vouchsafe to permit them to do so. : The election for six memberssof Congress takes place in Alabama to-day. The following is a list of the candidates of the two parties, conservative and radical :— ALABAMA BLECTION—FOR CONGRESS i Radical, Alfred E. Buck. . 0, . -Charies Hayes, 0. W. Dustan, 6.—Peter M, Dox... ‘all .C, Haralson, 6,.—William 0, Sherrod.J. J, Hind, There is a very good prospect for the suc- ceas of a conservative majority of the delega- tion, as the radicals have split among them- selves in at least two of the districts, while in the others the conservatives have acted with an unusual degree of liberality towards the colored voters, and will, no doubt, win ao large number of them to their side. At the last registry the negro voters outnumbered the whites by a little over sixteen thousand. In the last Presidential election the State gave a majority of three thousand two hundred and twenty-one for Grant, The result in Alabama excites no little interest, and the campaign has been conducted with considerable spirit. If the conservatives succeed in carrying a majority of the Congressional dele- gation it may be regarded as an echo of the conservative triumph in Virginia— in effect an endorsement of General Grant's reconstruction policy, the policy pursued in Virginia being as much his policy as that of any mefnber of his Cabinet. He only wants to see how it will work, and how the conserva- tives in Virginia behave themselves under the new order of things, in order to recom- mend a similar policy for adoption in the re- maining outstanding States. Alabama, how- ever, is in the Union, enjoying all its benefits— particularly that of helping to pay the enor- mous public debt—and may not feel inclined to follow in the footsteps of the Old Dominion in shaping her future political destiny according to the standard of Virginia, But she wants liberal and able men in Congress to look after her own interests and to restore her to her former proud degree of prosperity; and from all indications that duty can be reposed in the hands of the conservative candidates with greater assurance of its being faithfully ful- filled than if, the State throws her strength away again in the scale of the radicals, The election in Tennessee occurs on the 5th inst.—next Thursday—and has awakened more than ordinary interest and excitement, drawing out members of the Cabinet—Boutwell and Creswell—in favor of their man Stokes for Governor, and causing those two amiable twin-relics of political barbarism in East Tennessee, Andy Johnson and Parson Brown- low, to range themselves side by side on the same line in favor of Stokes’ opponent, Senter. This isa very neat arrangement for sound cudgelling on both sides, and one in which the indifferent spectator might stand aside and not care a copper which side whipped. This is probably the way President Grant views this fight, But the manifest impropriety of members of the Cabinet taking sides in a purely local squabble—for both Sen- ter and Stokes are or claim to be republicans— is calculated to do more injury than benefit to their candidate, besides arousing their party organs in the North, as has already been seen, to some severe and well-merited scoldings in reprehension of the intrusion, All accounts, however, go to show that Senter, the candi- date of Andy and the Parson, will be tri- umphantly elected and the “‘Old Bald-headed Eagle” (as he is called), Stokes, be permitted to seek his eyry at the crest of somo lofty crag among the mountains of his native State, In 1867 Parson Brownlow had nearly fifty-two thousand majority for Governor, and in 1868 General Grant's majority was over thirty thousand. It will be seen, therefore, that the republicans have everything in Tennessee pretty much their own way, but it will be interesting to know which way the majority lean, to that of enfranchisement and liberality ‘on the side of Senter or to that of political ostracism and stinginess on the side of Stokes, In Montana Territory an election will be held for Delegate to Congress on the 10th instant, which will conclude the August races over the political course. The present demo- cratic incumbent, Hon. James M. Cavanagh— or plain ‘‘Jim Cavanagh,” as he is called by his intimate friends—is a candidate for re-elec- tion. He will probably walk over the course and display some remarkably ‘‘tall walking” at that. Taxina Boxps Hgtp ABRoaD.—The pro- posal to deduct a tax from the coupons of all bonds that are held abroad is likely to come under the consideration of Congress next ses- gion, The present state of the law unques- tionably tends to make foreigners our principal bondholders—the worst we could have, as they yearly drain the country of its gold. We do not see why they who reap the profits should altogether escape the burdens begause they chance to be foreigners; and since the holders of bonds in this country pay a tax on the inte- rest, it is neither just nor reasonable that the others should be exempted, Congress, we hold, has a right to impose such a tax, and there are few who will question its expediency ag @ measure tending to keep our bonds and our gold out of the hands of foreign specula- tors. * Like Unto Like.—The stomach of General Grant's defunct mare is to be preserved in alcohol. That always hag been a favorite method of preserving the stomachs of London Aldermen, with the addition of a gentle cata- plasm of green turtle soup, Emlgrades. 4 The stream of emigration from Europe that keeps pouring in upon our shores is a gratify- ing proof of the confidence felt in the resources of the country and in ite repablican form of government. This stream still increases, inso- much that the number of arrivals this year exceeds that of the corresponding period in 1866, the great immigration year. So long as the supply continues to pour in as now from Europe we have nothing to fear from the threatened influx of Chinese, These last, within the ten years preceding December, 1868, contributed only sixty-five thousand to our population, and of these not a few returned to their own country. In the same period the number of emigrants from Europe to our shores is calculated at two millions five hun- dred thousand. It is to this influx of Europeans that we owe much of our power and prosperity, and by it we have grown, within the last eighty years, from a nation of three millions to one of over forty millions, The moral is evident—if we wish to develop the immense resources of this country, let us continue to en- courage European emigration, On the Cau- casian element only can we hope to build up such an empire as the world has never seen. Chinese may be all very good, but Europeans are at least ten times better, Besides bringing money into the country emigrants increase the demand for every arti- cle produced, add their own share to the pro- ducing power and take their portion of the taxes of the country. Two-fifths of the emi- grants are Germans, than whom we could not wish for a better or more industrious class of citizens. Ireland sends the next largest num- ber and England takes the third place. The following countries—Sweden, Scotland, Den- mark, Switzerland, Norway, France, Holland, Italy, Wales and Spain, contribute their quota to the ethigration list in the order in which we have named them, making up a heterogeneous mixture as diversified as the sources that con- stitute our language. The savans at Pough- keepsie have just been telling us that this last ia superior to any language, ancient or modern, and we hope that the different nationalities among us will keep up the analogy. It is often puzzling to know what becomes of the thousands that land at Castle Garden. Two-thirds, we are assured, leave the city almost immediately, betaking themselves chiefly westward, the States of Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota having the prefer- ence; but there are many also who settle down in Pennsylvania. The remainder leave later or seek for permanent employment here, some, however, going to swell the ranks of rowdyism or struggling poverty. There are, in truth, thousands in this city and all the sea- board towns who would willingly go west- ward had they the means of doing so, and who would supply the scarcity in the labor market so much complained of. We cannot see why something might not be done in this way, both to assist the poor emigrants themselves and to relieve the city of its pres- ent burden. We commend the suggestion to the delegates who constituted the Chinese Labor Convention at Memphis, and who were 8o eloquent in crediting John Chinaman “with every virtue under heaven.” They know but very little about him, or they are anxious to get cheap labor meanwhile, no matter what the future consequences may be tothe country, The Theatres, At length the blonde burlesque, as repre- sented for forty-five consecutive nights at Niblo's by Lydia Thompson’s troupe, has bade farewell to New York and retired, like opéra bouffe, into unlamented exile. Hn revanche, Booth’s theatre has welcomed Joe Jefferson in his classical character of Rip Van Winkle; Dan Bryant, Dominick Murray, Rose Eytinge and Miss Fiddes have appeared in ‘‘Arrah na Pogue” at Niblo’s; John E. Owens and Miss Annie Deland in the comedy of “Self” at Wallack’s; Sophie and Jennie Worrell in ‘‘Lalla Rookh” at Wood’s; Lucille Western in ‘East Lynne” at the Grand Opera; Kate Fisher in ‘Jerry Le Drew” at the Bowery; George L. Fox, the inimitable, in ‘‘Hiccory Diccory Dock” at the Olympic, and Sam Collyer, the champion athlete, at Tony Pastor's. Mlle. Janauschek has arrived, and Miss Bateman and Miss Hen- riques are expected to arrive in time to assist at a brilliant inauguration of the theatrical season of next fall and winter. Even now, amid the heats of summer, the “stranger within our gates” cannot complain of any lack of dramatic attractions in New York. More- over, the joint entertainment offered this week at the Fourteenth street theatre by the French actora of the New York and New Orleans com- panies, who will produce that charming piece ‘“Gavaut, Minard & Co.,” will be an earnest of the hope that the French stage has been perma- nently erected in this city. On the whole it is safe to predict that “‘the season” during the ensuing fall and winter will not be unworthy of the well-earned reputation of New York as the theatrical metropolis of the United States, Fivg-TWENT188 are likely to increase in value with so good a customer in the market as Uncle Sam promises tobe. Six millions are to be bought in the month 8f August. Land Joss AND Paoirio Raitroaps.—A Washington correspondent has given an expo- sition of a big land job connected with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and we have little doubt there is something in it. But has there not been the biggest sort of land jobs with all the Paclfic railroads, and, for that matter, with many other railroads? It is quite possible there may be a job even in this apparent hostility to the Southern route and company on the part of the other great Pacific Railroad land jobbers. We are against all land@obs, but think the Southern Pacific is the best route and entitled to as much con- sideration from the government as the others, MistakkS oF GoveRNMEeNT A@ENTS.—A large amount of sugar has been seized in Chicago and New Orleans by government agents for alleged infraction of the revenue laws. It seems from the recent testimony of a sugar expert in New Orleans that it is diffi- cult for an inspector to tell whether certain grades of sugars are imported or are of do- | mestic manufacture. Therefore the subject should be handled with care, The internal revenue laws are sufMfoiently rigid and burden~ some without having them unjustly and im- properly enforced, especially upon an article that enters go extensively into family consump- “ae a UES > eS LR} aes wrongs of Ireland, with all the usual changes that | Tammany Arousing Itself—A New Departare The Gitnation ta Spain. Our cable despatches from Madrid are not 80 reassuring as they once were regarding the final success of the present revolutionary movement. We cannot refuse to admit that the party now in power have worked wonders. They have accomplished a great revolution, and, for the first time during one hundred years, a Spanish revolution has been attempted. and accomplished without immediate anarchy. Those who remember the revolution of 1812, and the anarchy that followed, making the re- turn of the King a seeming blessing, the revolution of 1820, and the anarchy that fol- lowed, making the occupation of the country by the French under the Duke d’Angouléme seem 8 happy deliverance, and the later revolution under the Carliste, which, though it cost Spaim much blood and treasure, was yet a signal failure, can- not deny that the present revolution has been wonderfully successful. For a little while it did seem as if the success were com- plete, We have no reason to say that there are any signs that indicate immediate faflure. Serrano and his colleagues seem to hold the reins with firm hands, But this Carlist rising, although it has not yet had any marked suc- cess, somewhat blurs the perspective. It is notorious that the Church is with Don Carlos and that his return is earnestly prayed for by all those who go in fer the divine right of kings. The will of Ferdinand VIE, has beer winked at by Prim, but it has never been formally sanctioned. When we take into con- sideration the financial condition of Spain, which is as bad as it well can be, a Carlist rising may yet plunge Spain into the wildest anarchy and leave it open to Napoleon to play the part which was played by the Holy Al- liance in 1823, and to restore Isabella to her throne, We have no great faith in the Car- lista, but we dread anarchy and we cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that if the Carlists are at all successful anarchy is cer- tain, We wish well to Spain; but it is because we wish well to her that we cannot call the present state of things satisfactory or the im- mediate future hopeful, Movements of the President. - General Grant naturally does not like the city of Washington at this season, however he may when the weather is cooler; and he has spent summers enough in hot places in the national service to be fairly entitled to spend one where he pleases just now. He chose wisely in giving a good share of his furlough to Long Branch, where the air is cooler, the cookery finer and fashion better bred and the horses faster than at such resorts generally. He will change his recreation this week, as our chronicler tells us, in a visit to Secretary Fish, This may to some seem like a giving up of the holiday. It may be thought that heavy problems of State—reconstruction, and, above all, our foreign policy—are to be discussed between this visitor and host; but there is no danger. Secretary Fish has so slight an ac- quaintance with these topics that he will naturally lead the conversation into other channels, and Grant will be too polite to do anything but smoke and follow. We know nothing about Fish’s stables, By the 20th of this month Grant will be at Saratoga, and we trust he will take plenty of the water. It has the happiest possible effect on the liver, and as Grant has now been President five months his liver must need attention. Rourat Scenery is protected by statute from the impudent boldness of the bill posters, but alas! no spot in the city is equally well cared for. Some time ago we called attention to the way all parts of the Park gates were hidden by the stratification of the posters, and there was a spasmodic and futile attempt to abate the nuisance. Now we invite the official eye to Tompkins Square. Around that seeth- ing waste there is a handsome railing, with granite posts of reputable appearance. These posts are fast disappearing under that dreadful visitation, the advertisement of quack reme- dies. Quaoxery.—We are told that the state of the law is to blame for the flourishing con- dition of quackery in this city. If this is so the law should be amended and the Board of Health should amend it, That body was cre- ated to have the charge of all matters relating directly to the public héalth, and possesses legis- lative power within its sphere, It can make such regulations in regard to persons treating disease as will rule imposture out of the field. Swakine Up tHe Quakers.—Some of the Shakers who conduct manufactures on the communist plan have returned the income of their society in one sum, as they keep no indi- vidual accounts, and they claim that they are entitled to an abatement on this of the thou- sand dollar allowance for each member of their body, but the authorities allow only the allowance for one person, as it is only one ac- count, The difference will be very great. Certainly. the government decision is not strictly just, and the authorities have no right to discriminate against communism, as they seem to by this decision, Sounp on Mississipri.—Grant’'s position in regard to Mississippi, as given by our Wash- ington correspondent, is good, He desires the success of the party that will carry out in good faith the reconstruction acts, ratify the fifteenth amendment and give protection to life and property in Mississippi. We have never had occasion to complain that Grant was given to talking one way and acting another, and we hope we shall not have to begin that com- plaint just now.

J Last evening the inquest on the bodica of the three workmen who were recently killed by che fali- ing of an arch at the building of the new church was resumed by Coroner Warren, Mr, Wilham Sewell was recalled andsworn, Alderman Hogan and Joseph Andrews, the superintendent, were aiso called to the witness stand, and they ail testified to the same effect—that there was negligence shown by prematurely removing the support from the arcn.
