A cable despatch from London, which we print this morning, more than indicates that the reforms granted by the Emperor are win- ning their way into popular favor. Tho fuller account of which we are now in possession does not induce us to depart from the judg- ment we pronounced yesterday. The Emperor does not mean that power shall depart from his hands, As we have said already, tho Senatus Con- sultum embodies reforms which show that the Emperor has get before him the British consti- tution as his znodel;—‘The Corps Législatif and ‘the Senate are no longer to be puppets. They are tohave the right and privilege of initia- tion, The same power is soccorded to the Senate. Each assembly is to be complete in itself. It will henceforth be competent to the Corps Législatif or to the Senate to introduce new measures, But the Emperor is to be no mere figurehead. He is willing to rule with the assistance of ministers, The ministers, however, are to be under his control. to be responsible for their own acts, but they are to deliberate in council under his presi- They are dency. When ministers shall happen to run counter to popular feeling and when impeach- ment becomes necessary they can be impeached only by the Senate, One other pecullarity deserves to be mentioned: ministers may be members of either house of the Legislature, but it is to bea special privilege of ministers to defend or prosecute their measures in either house as occasion may require. What, then, do those reforms amount to? Autonomy is granted to each of the two branches of the Legislature, It will be competent to each to institute any measure. The decisions of the lower house will be subject to the revision of the upper. It will be necessary, on the other hand, for any measure latroduced aad carried to the upper house to obtaln the sanction of the lower. In all matters the government, before taking final action, reserves to itself the right to refer difficult questions to the decision of a committee. The Emperor will be his own prime minister, and will, of course, preside over the council of ministers, It is not to ba denied that in all this we can discover a certain amount of substantial re- form. ror, in granting those reforms, has been care- ful to make such provisions that the govern- ment machine, though it will be a little more complex than of old, will be entirely under his control, perhaps, than any man now living, and all the caution he is now manifestly exercising may be necessary; but we cannot say we ad- But it is just as evident that the Empe- The Emperor kaows France better, mire the wisdom which he has revealed in Prove dangerous to the dynasty of Napoleon. One thing we will say: the form of govern- ment now recommended cannot be final; it is 8 vory imperfect copy of the original. I¢ is at best but a tentative process, and its success is doubtful. It is one of the live questions of the day, which every passing hour will help to solve. Meanwhile, Napoleon and his reforms are likely to command quite as deep and as general interest as Pius 1X. and his council ot bishops. The world moves on {a spite of Popes and Emperors, GrauVa Present of a Farm. The newspapers for the past few days have been illustrating the phrase. which Shakspeare has mado immortal by the title of bis play— “‘Muoh Ado About Nothing.” They have been ringing the changes upon the supposed gift of a farm in Now Jersey which is said to have been presented to President Grant at Long Branch on Monday, upon the occasion of a very pleasant lit- tlo private excursion to the village of Bricksburg, an offshoot of our general progress—a settle- ment, in fact, of not quite three years’ growth, in a thriving agricultural and tron-bearing region. Well, we have no doubt that the exoursion was very agreeable, Indeed, we have the assur- ance of our correspondents that everything weut “merry ag a marriage bell,” that tho company was of a very “social character and the villagers were happy; but it anfortunately happens for the veracity of the papers which havo invested tho President with a valaable fifty aore lot near Bricksburg that he has ac- cepted no such present from the owners of the land, but on the contrary, we know from the best authority that he firmly and kindly de- clined to become the proprietor of a New Jersey farm ander the circumstances. So much for the good-natured or malicious congratula- tions (as the case may be) of the newspapers who have circulated this rumor, The Presi- dent informed the public in his brief farewell speech at Long Branch that he had become the purchasor ofa pretty cottage within view of the ocean, and that when his lelsure can be en- joyed cum dignitate—that is to say, when the country does not imperatively require his wer- vices at Washington, -he-will become a Long “Brancher—a genuine salt—during the future summer solstices—a fact which will no doubt be gratefully appreciated by the residents and visitors in that locality, . In other words, the President has bought his own seaside home, including his own-vine and figtree, which he intends to pay for with his own money. The Endical Conspiracy in Tennessee. We published yesterday a telegram from Louisville, Kentucky, purporting to make some startling disclosures about a conspiracy of the radicals in Tennessee to defeat the expression of the popular will should the election to- day go against them. It fs said that Mr. Stokes will make the revolutionary movement of assembling a legislature of his own faction at Nashville and establish a separate State government, and that by the aid of the militia and federal authorities. “This seems almost Ancredible; and yot, looking at the bitterness and unscrupulous conduct of these Tennessee politicians and the revolutionary times we live in, such a desperate movement is not very im- probable, But should it bo so we cannot be- lieve the President will countenance the conspiracy. Whatever defects General Grant may bave, his whole public life has been dis- tinguished by a strict adherence to law and respect for the expression of the popular will at the polls. Should the radical members of his Cabinet even be unscrupulous enough to favor such revolutionary action he would, we think, set his face resolutely against it. Of course it would be a bitter pill for the admin- istration should the opposition succeed in Tennessee, and particularly if the elections should result in returning ex-President John- son to the United States Sonate; but that nor anything else would justify revolution or the interference of the federal government in the local political affairs ofa State. The rumored” Aesperate expedient of the radicals to bring about a conflict, and thereby to call for the in- terposition of the administration and Congress, cannot, and, we boliove, will not, be tolerated by General Grant. However, the election takes place to-day, and we shall soon know both the result of that and the truth or false- the making of them. If there Is a bookseller in the number there is gure to be an unusual amount of jobbery in the purchase of schoolbooks, and if there {s a stationer it Is the same with sta- tionery ; while if thore is a builder, a painter, a coal dealer or a stovemaker, each claims the monopoly of furnishing the schools with what he deals in at twice the price another would demand. Brooklyn ts getting this experience dictment of the character and results of that movement must have great effect. opinions could be held as to the right and ob- ligation of the Spanish people to purge their country of the abuses of Isabella’s reign; and now we are told by one who must surely know that the abuses of the revolution are greater and worse than were the abuses of the Bourbon dynasty. Who, then, shall purge the country of the revolution ? everything, and so the people must combine against the coal combination, They have begun in Baffalo, where they find it intolerable that the people should pay ten dollars for necessities worth five dollars. agitate for repeal of the duty on coal, the Cuban ‘commanders as we observe on the sary to build them. By this blow, therefore, she will be very greatly crippled, and upon this failure and the encouragement it will give to the republicans there will follow, porhaps, such an assertion of the Iberal strength that all nations will justify our recognition of Cuba, The Schleswig and Holstein Canal. This age will leave \its mark upon history, more by its railroads—suoh as our Pacific— (ts land and aubmarine telegraphs, and its ship canals, than by all {ts political revolutions that attract at the time so great an amount of atten- tion, These last are often succeeded by others uadoing the work completed; but it is different with the achlevements of acience we have spoken of, for they never retrograde. It would indeed be hard to overostimate the effects of the Suez Canal on commerce, and through commerce on history ; and the projocted canal du Midi con- necting Marseilles and Bordeaux will operate in the same direction. Yesterday's telegram an- nounced that the preliminary surveys of the Schleswig-Holstein Canal were completed, and that the Prussian government was expected to undertake the work. A glance at the map will show how much time and distance will be saved by such a canal to all vessels sailing be- tween Hamburg and the Baltic, instead of taking the present dangerous and circuitous route by the Cattegat and Sound, The nata- ral consequence will be a stimulus given to commerce, drawing more effectually the sur- plus produce of the regions bordering on the Baltio and the Gulf of Bothnia, Politioally, howover, its importance to Prussia will be still more considerable, The Prussian Baltio fleet will thus find a passage exclusively its own to the North Sea and the Mediterranean, thereby making the power of Prussia felt by sea no less than by land, How powerful she is by land we already know, and asa proof of the importance to which her navy has risen may be montioned the fact that Russia will no longer suffer her fleet fn the Baltio to manceuvre in company with that of Prussia, as such a demonstration exhibits ‘too plainly her own comparative weakness, Within the last few years Prussia has indeed made the most extra- ordinary efforts to raise a fleat second to that of no other European Power, and her success in this has beea proportionate to that good fortune that attends all her undertakings. This Schleswig-Holstein Canal is another develop- ment of that progressive spirit that now ani- mates united Germany, and wo truat the onal will prove a eacooastul uadertaking. Such works as these that stimulate oommerce and shorten, if they do not annihilate, space are always, sooner or later, a benofit to mankind, Boarps or Epvoation, it would soem, ought to be made up with astonishing discrimination on the part of the people or whoevor may have and New York has never been without it, Iv THe Caprain GENERAL oF Maprip is a man not to be suspected of a purpose to favor the foes of the Spanish revolution, his grave in- No two “CosmpmaTION” appears to secure nearl; P' Lot the people Is Cusa, with auch tactics on the part of all stored—the inestimably valuable time neces- Grant, dence of the Secretary of State or return to the home Moro of Opera Beufld Jourention. this city to the effect that Governor Hoffman had promised to pardon Edward B. Ketchum if his friends would abandon the proceedings for a habeas corpus, recently pending before Judge Barnard. The statement is pronounced without the slightest foundation in fact. This is a fair sample of opéra bouffe journalism in New York. Notwithstanding the extravagant language aud buffoonery with which they sur- round a simple fact so a3 to make that fact almost indiscernible, they have also the habit, aa has been seen in the case of the unfortunate Ketchum, of representing apocryphal intelli- gence as matters of fact and creating a corres- ponding amount of mischief and unhappiness among its class of readers, [t was not long since these opira bouffe papers took the Heraco to task for announcing that the Span- ish government were building thirty gunboats in this oity and in a thriving shipbuilding port in Connecticut tor operations againat the Cuban revolutionists, The Herato's report was pronounced untrue, probably because the journals in question had an inte- reat in hoodwiuking our government in regard to tho secrot manmuvrings of the Spaniards in a noutral nation in a matter af- footing belligerent rights. The Heranp dis- played the inconsistency of the American gov- ernment in seizing vessels and imprisoning men for alleged infractions of the neutrality laws when it apparently permitted such in- fractions to go unnoticed and unpunished when they were committed by tho foes of republican liberty on this Continent, What is the result? The public have already seen the fact an- nounced that the administration of President Grant has been aroused to some sense of in- dignation at the course of the Spanish govern- ment In attempting to make the United States an arsenal and a navy depot for operations against a people’s struggle, and has seized a number of the gunboats before mentioned, some nearly completed. -and others on the stocks, It is thus the public receive through the columns of the Heratp intelligence upon which they can rely for its acouracy, while that furnished through the medium of the opéra bougfe preas is only to be takon as the fabulous representations of burlesque journals, unrelieved by any sound, reliable or sub- stantial surroundings.

WASHINGTON, Augast 4, 1600, Excktomont Ovor tho Seizure of Spanish Grune bants at Now York--ladignattou of the Spane inh Ministor. The nows of tne seizure of the Spanish guaboate by the federal authorities at New York created quite A sensation whea is reached the Spagwh Legation yosterday, The proceeding seams to have beon as unexpected by the Spanish Minister, M. Roberts, as was the imprisonment of the Cuban Junta some weeks ago to the Ouban sympathizers. M, Roberts Was first notifled of the seizure by a aespatch from the Spantah Gousul at New York, which he received yesterday about noon. He immeiiately mado ar- rangements to proceed to New York, and left kere last evening, accompanied by his first Secre- tary of Legation, The members of the Spanish Legation are at a loss t know what prompted the proceeding oa the part of Marshal Barlow, but they shrewdly auspect that it waa a aot Up Job between the Cubans and their now South Aume- rican ally, Pera, It will bo remembered that when the Peruvian government purchased certain tron- olads from our government the Spanish Minister in- alsted that Peru should enter into obligations not to use the iron-clads against any nation with which the United States waa at peace until they had beem first moored in Peruvian waters. Subsequently, when tho Peruvians showed some delay in getting the iron-clads to Peru and kept them foating in the waters of tie Caribbean Sea, the Spanish Minister called the attention of our Secretary of State tothe ~ deiay on the part of Pera in taking tho iron-clads home, At that time, and indeed ever since, the Spanish Minister has had an tdea taat these Pern- vian tron-clads would turn up some day a3 unwel- come visitors to the Spantsn feet lying in Cuban waters, Besides this, it will be remembered that when Peru recognized the belligerent righta of Guba the Spanish Minister complained of that action to Secretary Fish, aud insisted that as the United States: bad undertaken to interpose its friendly ofMtces tn the quarrel betwoea Spain and Peru our goverament should take some action which would resent the conduct of Peru. M, Roberts regarded the action of Peru in recognizing Cuda as one hostile to Spain, and it ia probable that but for the fact that Spain had then and has had aince as much on haud as sho oould comfortably attend to en attempt would have been made to renew hostilities with Peru and puntah her for her temerity. Tnese facts, which wore woll knowe to the Peruvian Minister, may have induced him te believe that tne gunboats being bullt at Now York for tho Spanish government would probably be used agalnst Peru as well as Cuba, and tnis may have stimulated him to lodge the compiaint with the United States Marshal which led to their seizure, 16 was known here some time ago that certain mom- bers of the admtnistration were violently opposed to the building of the Spanish gunboats at Now York, and it wua darkly hinted that they would never be allowed togoto sea, It was stated by a Cabinet oMcer that the President had been heard to say that thoge gunboats might de de built, bat they wouid never be allowed to ledvé American waters. Meport of the Board of Visitors to tho Weat Point Academy. The report of the Board of Visitors to the West Point Military Academy, received at the War De- partment, states among other things that although the institution nas effected much good, it does not moet the requirements of ‘the present day, aud should therefore be raised to @ standard ungur- passed abroad. They recommend that the academy be enlarged and the number of pupils moreased. Tue board find that, considering existing obstacles, wonderful resulta have been attained under the present organization aud that many defects in the organization can and should be remedied. A Dangerous Conntorfeit Greenback. New developments are being made daily concern- ing the new spurious ten dollar greenback, spect- mene of which come to the United States Treasurer's ofiice every day.

We cau see both branches in collision with the executive, We can see Napoleon dissolving the chambers and appeal- ing to the people. We cannot say we see beyond; for it is Just as possible that the people may go against the Emperor as that they will go with him. It is gratifying to be able to write that the press gonerally takes 9 favorable and hopeful view of the course pursued by the Emperor. The general opinion is that he haa ylelded with a good deal of grace, and that if he has stooped under the violence of popular de- mands, he has so stooped that he remains atill master of the situation, The difficulty of the situation, ia our judgment, consists in the fact that Napoleon has yielded, It is not impossl- ble that ooncession may lead to the crowning of the edifico ; but neither ts it impossible that concession may lead to abdication or worse, Napoleon, by his skilful use of the army, hae for many loug years kept France at bay. The French people for tho first time sinoe 1848 have felt their power. Will they use it {a their own interest or in the interest of their master ? New found power is always dangerous, We have no good coason to aay that it will not great revolution who committed such atrocities now know that Spain will see nothing, but will insist on keeping up in our neighborhood a hopeless war in which our very word could tarn the balance against her. We must now adopt toward her those very measures which European Powers adopted toward us in our recent war, without giving us even the grace of a fair chance to try what we could do. No doubt the seizure of the Spanish war vessels constructing here fs the initlation of this policy, and our firstreply to Spain's insensate determination to pursue her present futile endeavors to crush Cuba, This first act is a good one, and opens our case boldly and clearly, inasmuch as its direct consequence is that Spain cannot wage war this side the Atlantic without our consent, Three thousand rolles 1a too far to send war ships and too far to send soldiers, as England found some eighty yeara ago. There must be » base of opera- tions nearer the objective point for any efficient action, and this Spaia cannot have if she can- not have it here, She has limped through a whole summer in the fancy that she had It, and now, just as her ships aro ready, she finds that they are taken from her, and with thom fo taken, of course, what can never be re- under command of Sansterre. In these cases the butchering element always comes on the stage in the guiso of tho military force organ- ized to preserve order. “May tax Best Maw Win.”—That was what they all said in England over Sayers and Heenan, and although there is no fair com- parison between that and the Harvard-Oxford matoh, yet the English note has much the same tone now. RK Sweven is a country from which we have had some happy inspirations, and now comes one on the very unlikely subject of pavement. In Hoboken they have recently had laid down a plece of pavement of a kind found very effective in Stockholm. It is of the same class asthe asphaltum pavement—that is, the ma- terial is put down ina liquid state and dries to a proper degree of resistance. Hitherto most attempts with this sort of pavement here have failed from the difficulty of making a composition that would stand our winter's cold without melting in our summer's heat, Tho Stookholm pavement is said to aglve this pro- blem, The material is gallod carbo japanis, and family, John M, Kead, Uni nied ‘Stales Consul Gen- oral, aud family. bg PE eg 8.
