Sndging only by the present attitude of parties it might bo supposed there was no dif- ference of opinion among the American people, but that we were all ia harmony on every sub- ject ofnational thought. No strife appears be- tween parties, no oppositiva of principles, but party activity is all given to atriviog which one may outdo the other by going to greater length in the assertion of some common and accepted view of public policy. Such definite issue as we have hitherto had, in which one grand division of the people said absulutely yes, and the other a3 absolutely no, to some proposition, does not exist. Here ia the case of Cuba before us, It is the present vital topic and the only subject of national delibe- ration that hag arisen in the Presidency of General Grant. If we suppose the President studying party utterance to kaow how on this subject he may shua the advice of those do- siring the failure of his governmont and best act in sympathy with his supporters, we must suppose him ia a sore puzzle; for on one hand are the democrats, who, coming together to say their bitterest thing about him, can ejaculate no worse gall than that he delays the recog- nition of Cuba to take his holiday, and on the other are the republican orators of the last session of Congress denouncing Spanish dominion in the island with fluent energy, and the whole republican preas that regards racognition as a foregone conclusion, and seems only to wait that the government may open its eyes on an inevitable necessity. On the Alabama claims there is the same agreement. No democratic orator in his extravagance against England will state our case mote strongly than did the radical Sumner, and the Fenian democrats themselves @re not more positive fur the rights of Ameri- can citizens abroad than are the strongest re- publicans ia the Senate and the House. Here is evon the radical doctrine of negro suffrage that the democrats are taking to as if it were their own invention. How are we to explain this nullity of politi- cal difference? Are we so near to the standard of national right as our century sees it? Have we so purged our social system of evil that there is no grand vice, no gigantic iniquity, oppression or injustice for the destruction of which the enthusiastic and earnest will gather on onesido with resolute will, and the interested assemble on the other for equally resolute de- fence? For differences that are merely politi- cal the people do not care. A subject to go deep with them, to take hold of the very life, must have in it an appeal simply to the good or bad of human nature, Anda people hay- ing such a history as ours and bred as our people have been, with revolution in the very fibre of the brain, acting less from tradition and precedent than from philosophic standards of right, will stop at no extremity in the plucking out an abuse though protected by -all law and con- secratedAn the prejudice of generations, Just in proportion as a people beatir themselves with energy in view of great argument so are they passive and indifferent to small disputes and perwit these to fall to professional mon gers of such ware, In this is the explanation of our present position, Slavery was an evilao great without a national injustice. Since the Revo- lutionary War all our political agitation has had mote or teas direct reference to slavery, and in the last thirty years ib was the one topic that was under everything. Maving ac- complished the destruction of that institation the people bave dropped out of the political arena and are already brooding an onslaught at some other part of one aystem that, per- haps, is not got recogalsed as an evil. Our grandiathers, ba it remembered, were quite aatiafied with the hamanity of slavery, Mean- while the platform-makers and orator puffs have the field, and these meroly follow one another up and down the gamut of political dispute in appeal to popular favor. Our political contests will for some time partake of this auctionecring character of higher and higher bids of successive party leaders on the same subject, Iu Eagland we sec Disraeli and Gladstone agreeing iu the necessity of reform. Diaracli takea Glad- stone’s place by adopting his politics and Gladstone gets it again by promising more than he had ventured upon before, only, per- haps, to be outbid by Disracli ia the future. We are moving in the same line. In this systom there is always the guarantee of a certain social progress, since party leaders, caring mainly for place and power, stand on their good behavior before the nation, and, atudying the wishes of the people, endeavor to secure them, evon though they point toward honesty in office. In the present agreement of all parties on the main points of our foreign policy, as the recognition of Cuba, the status of our citizens abroad and the Alabama claims, those ospecially interested may see that it is the opinion of the shrewd ones of both parties that nobody can go so far in the aasertion of our right on these points as to be beyond the people, and this may warn those who would take sidea against us on these points that they would have to oppoge the American people as @ unit, The New Post Ofice. According to the promise of the superintend- ing architect of the new Post Office, to whom the Treasury Department has entrusted the erection of the building which is to be located in the City Hall Park, the first work on that edifice will commence to-morrow, If we can rely upon the statements of Mr, Mullett, and we presume that his intentions in the premises aro sincere, the structure will be ready for roofing in the fall of 1670, He proposes to hold all the contractors to the strict letter of their engagements as to the time of furnishing the material. This will be an important thing to accomplish as a beginning, and if the archi- tect can only succeed in getting the contract- ors to furaish the right kind of material It will be better still, We have a notable example of tao failure to do this in the contracts for tho iron work in the new Court Houge—that monu- ment of fraud, extravagance and procrastina- tion. The plans which Mr. Mullett has adopted em- brace many desirable points, particularly the idea of a rapid distribution of the newspaper mails by means of pneumatic railways running from the publication offices to the Post Office, It is designed by this means to save time in the sending off the mails by ths early trains is moat pressing on the Post Office employés, Such a process would undoubtedly be a great saving of tine, The details, however, are matters for future consideration, The important fact to be accomplished now is the immediate erection of this much-needed Post Oflice. We hope that Mr. Mullett will be able to fulfil his promise, if it is only to show howa public building of this character, which we kuow by the plans and drawings will far exceed in architectural beauty aud elaboration the Court House in the same park, can be erected in a tenth part of the time, under the prompt whip and spur of the federal government, which it required our corrupt city government to half complete the Court House structure, The Fashions, Our Paris fashions correspondent has dis- covered that the clergy have either set the present stylea or are following those set by the Parisian éhgantes, “The abbés have plissé white loose tunics, lace over violet, lappets under the chin, the scarlet waistband and no ends, no crinoline and buckled shoes.” But few Parisian élégantes, however, are now visi- ble at their devotions in the Madeleine, St. Roch or Notre Dame. Most of them are at the seaside. Princess Clothilde and her small family are at Villera-sur-Mer, where Priace Napoleon bas chosen a residence. In this con- nection we may add that Carlotta Patti, ac- cording to a private letter which we have just seen, “‘is living like a princess at Boulogne- sur-Mer, where she has a pair of ponies which she drives herself, to the admiration of every- body.” Carlotta Patti, we may further add, willleave by the steamer Ville de Paris on the 26th of August for New York, where she will give, with Theodore Ritter, orchestral concerts under the direction of Max Strakosch, who is now in Paris. The costumes of the Parisian sea bathers are duly described by our cor- respondent, who dwells particularly upon the convenience and Oriental beauty of the pied- a-terre, which “‘has not yet got to Newport,” but might well be adopted there and at Long Branch, Cape May, Coney Island and Nahant, —_—— Tox Brrmsu Press on Cusa.—When the London Morning Star and the Daily News counsel Spain to sell Cuba they only reflect what public opinion is coming to throughout Europe. That Spain cannot continue to hold Cuba is the conclusion freely expressed in every European capital except Madrid, and even there there is a party that has the courage to pronounce the war against the Cubana @ hopeless one, With so many causea of anxiety at theie cwn door, with three or four aspirants for the vacant throne and a law- leasness little better than anarchy reigning everywhere, Serrano and his Cabinet have decided to continue the atruggle, They are sowing the wind and will reap the whirlwind, instead of the twenty million dollars that ia the opinion of the London Daily News would prove a fair compensation for the losa of the island, Spain has ladeed acted foolishly ta rejecting every effort made by General Sickles to briag about a compromise, When the British press counsels a course that practi- cally means the annexation of Cuba to dur republig she may woil consider her case ‘hat by comparison with it we agem to ho | hopelens. The Kolipse. An eclipse of the sus, visible over the en- tire tervilory of the United States, occurred yoatarday, commencing and progressing to ils termination in the order and within a period duly announced after astronomical calculation. It was seen—where the sky was wnobscured by clouds—on a regular line running from central point in Alaska to the coast of North Carolina, and is reported by observers in New York and other places with varying success and in very interesting form. It waa @ total eclipse of the great luminary—the second aad last of the present year, and the last ono of the same class which will be seen during the remaining term of the nineteenth centuly. Its appearance elicited no expression of uatwsual wonder, excited no feeling of superstitious awe. It was accepted io a spirit of educated adii- ration as an attestation of the divinity of that Power which holds the planets in their apheres and “glasses itself in tempests” on the ocean, It was the “‘light shining in darkness” as in tho beginning, and rendered more enlightoning to humanity as it is to-day by means of elec- tricity subdued to the wae of man, the types, the printing pressea and steam power of the great representatives of the modern news- papers, The savans viewed the pheaomenon through their teloscopes, while the public at large, from the aged parent to the most juvenile mombers of our public school classes watched it through pieces of smoked glass—an article which was in universal demand on the streets and the housetops. The eclipse is conse- quently chronicled in all its phases, so far as observed, in our pages this morning, and re- corded for passage into history in our columas, Our reports go to show that at Wash- ington, an important point, the obsorva- tions of the eclipse were to a groat ex- tent incomplete. The scientific preparations for the purpose were ample, but ren-~ dered worthless e along the solar disk, ‘“‘rushed,” aa it is termed, over the face of the sun, and remained there just long enough to prevent the astronomers Indeed, it may be averred with great truth that Washing- ton is unfortunate in the matter both of me- teors and eclipses, just as if her illuminati are either unwilling to stand forth in the full from making their calculations. light or afraid to fall back into total darkness.

Every inhabitant is interested in the fate of the victim, and every one there will probably see to it that justice is done to his alayer, The murder of Mr. Swinton was a most aggravated case. The Coroner's jury have declared that the crime was committed wholly without pro- vocation, and upon this verdict we can presume that the law will vindicate itself should the murderer aurvive his injuries. in Mobile—The Irrepresatble Conflice Agata. ne aerions riot in Mobile, of which we pub- lished a telegram report yeaterday, is but one of many similar occurrences in the South, It is the natural frait of radical reconstruction. The efforts made by Congress to reconstruct the Southern States in a manner to secure the political power of that section for the radical party have failed, but have left a terrible leg- acy of disorder and bloodshed. Setting aside the native and intelligent white people and crushing them to the ground, while placing their late slaves, a semi-barbarous and igno- rant race, in power, could have no other result. It was the moat monstrous political experiment ever tried. The crazy, levelling dogmas and frightful course of the sane culotte régime of the first French revolution never exceeded in folly or recklessness the radical in the South, Nature, common sense, the experience of the world, all protest against tho insane attempt to govern the South through ignorance and a semi-barbarous race, and to make tho intelli- gent majority of our own superior race political helots on their native soil, What could come of such 9 monstrous and desperate policy but conflicts between the races? But such scenes as this one at Mobile might have been avoided had there been no ontside {nterference in the local affairs of the Southern States and had the white people of that sec- tion-—the former masters of the negroes—heen permitted to exercise a healthy influence over the ignorant blacks. Even with the ballot in the hands of the negroes these riots might have been avoided; for the white Southerners could not have failed to see that it must be for their own interest as well as for that of the blacks to give their former slaves good advice and to harmonize with them. But this was not al- lowed. A radical Congress and the radicals of the North were determined to destroy the influence of the Southern whites in their own Sates, and hence radical carpet-baggers poured into the South and by misrepresentation and bad advice arrayed the negroes against their old masters and beat friends, These emiasarics of disorder are the cause of the riots and other troubles that afflict the South, They have in- augurated an irrepressible conflict between the races, and so long as the intelligent whites are deprived of political power and these wretched Tho Riot early hours of the morning, when the work of while at Vincennes, Indiana, it was noted under the most favorable circumstances, the total obscuration enduring for the apace of two minutes and thirty seconds. At Terre Haute, in the same State, the time of totality was two minutes and thirty seconds, the appearance being exceedingly beautiful. Boston was un- fortunate. The eclipse could not be observed in the “Hub” owing to the cloudy state of the weather, but the Bostonians having bad a Peace Jubilee must not expect to enjoy many other “great events” before the termination of the year, The eclipse was seen with good effect in Albany, and ia Augusta, Ga. Satisfactory observations were made in Wilmington, N.C., the duration of the total phase being one minute and thirty seconds, The fowls were more obedient to the influence of the natural law in that city than in Wash- ington, retiring to roost forty-five minutes earlicr than usual. From other central points we have accounts of the appearance of the phenomenon, valuable or the reverse accord- ing to the state of the weather, location and means of observation at hand, all of which are published to-day. Science is thus enabled to elucidate, as it were, @ heavenly eternal spark which has shone, despite the denials of the ignorant and the attempted. veilings of superstition, from the moment when the continents were rolled from chaos to the time of Copernicus, and thence to that in which Galileo, la his mar- tyrdom, proclaimed that the “world goes round,” and onward to the confirmation of the grand truth, fromthe simple incident of the fall of an apple, by which Newton wae enabled to illustrate tho law of gravi- tation, Scripture history goes to show that Joshua, the uccessor of Moses, an ardent military commander and exceedingly anxious to ‘‘fight it out” on a certain “line,” bad not swung “round the circle” of sclence even when be ‘“‘spake to the Lord” and said, “Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, moon, in the valley of Ajalon;" nor was his chronicler more correct when he said, ‘‘And the suo stood still, and tho moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves ;” as- sertions in such authoritative contradiction to the revelations of science that they may be regarded by many as a sort of Biblical excuse for the fulmination in after days of & Papal Bull against a comet, as well as of the many inconsistencies of subsequent Bulls issued against the acceptance of the truths of philo- sophy ; church errors which have been and aro condoned toavery gratifying extent by the valuable researches, observations and contri- butions made and published by the learned Father Secchi, of Rome, in an opposite direc- tion. Future revelations will afford atill more enlightenment as scientific investigation pro- greases, until the human mind, once appalled by a flash of lightning, will stand forth in its majesty, ‘redeemed and disiathralled.” carpetbag offscourings of the North are per- mitted to deceive and influence the passions of the negroes there willbe trouble and blood- shed. But what do these wretches care if they can accomplish their political objects? In the conflict the negroes must go under, and if, un- fortunately, it should be continued long, they will be swept out of existence. That must be the inevitable result. That is what the so- called Northern philanthropists and radical levellers are bringing upon their deluded protégés. The negroes are the victims of un- principled carpetbag politicians, and the sooner they discover the fact the better for themselves andthe country, The Saratoga Races. Wednesday, the opening day of the sixth annual meeting of the Saratoga Racing Asso- ciation, will be memorable for its bright, ex- hilarating weather; its numerous entries, which indicate that ere long the entries at American races will equal, if not surpass, those at English races; its extraordinary ex- hibition of speed (two out of its three contests having been the fastest that ever took place in this country), and, finally, its crowded assem- blage of representatives of beauty, fashion and wealth. On Thursday, another delightful day for racing, the weather being fine and the track in excellent condition, three capital races were run, but the beautiful contest for the Saratoga Cup was unhappily marred by foul play, which required and received strict and immediate investigation, In consequence of the proved fraudulent riding of Vauxhall's vider, who, it was manifest, designedly lost the race, it was decided that ‘‘all bets, pools or otherwise, on or against Vauxhall, or a pool of horses in which Vauxhall is included, are declared off, and the rider himself is ruled off and will not be permitted to ride again on the course.” One notable incident of Thursday is that a leading fashionable lady yon five thousand dollars on the first race and lost it all on the second, On Friday the interest of the spectators was concentrated on ‘“‘two races and a walk over,” and yesterday three of the most exciting races of the week came off, Fashion displayed again her lateat novelties and the streets and hotels of Saratoga pre- sented the same animated appearance as on the previous days of the meeting. The per- fect order and decorum which have prevailed throughout the mecting are subjects of uni- versal comment, For five years past the Saratoga races have steadily grown in popular favor. They have fully reaped the peculiar advan- tages of being held at a favorite summer re- sort for visitors from every section of the United States. They have now so firm a hold upon the interest of all classes in our commu- nity, and so vast a capital is directly or indi- rectly devoted to sustaining them, that they have glready become almost national in their character, Our Saratoga correspondent says that the success of this opening day consists as much in the promise it gives of the organiza- tion of a natioual racing association there as in tho brilliancy of’the occasion itself, We take pleagure in watching the growth of an in- terest in horse racing as one of our noblest national sports, because we hope that here it may be freed from evils incident to the English turf, but by no means insepara- bly connected with it, The ruin wrought by these evils to many English noblomen and to many more victims of bumbler rank, has recently been illustrated by shocking instances which seem almost to justify the late poot laureate’s tirade against horse races, But Souther should casher bare diseated bia tirade The Port Jorvie Murder. The sudden cutting off by a pistol shot in the hands of a worthless rowdy"of a respecta- ble citizen of Port Jervis is one of the tragic events which do not frequently occur-ta our country villages, It only proves that the game causes produce like effects, whether in the country or the city, Drunken ruffians shoot down unoffending people here almost every day, and the incident is hardly taken notice of, We might cite here the case of poor Mr. Rogers, and the impunity of his murderer, There is, of course, an account of it ig the papers, and there is a temporary bustle at Police Headquarters, A few do- tgotivas axe on the track of the murderer, and against the guilt and misery that artae from gambling. Thia, in fact, must have beea what he had in mind when he said that “horse races excite evil desires, call forth evil passions, encourage evil propensities, lead the innocent into temptation and give opportunities to the wicked.” In almost the same breath he said, in allusion to the meeting of families at the Don- caster races, “Kt is not to be disputed that such an assemblage contributes greatly to the gayety and prosperity of the town itself and of the country round about,” and be admitted the good which arises from such amusements, either ag mere amusement (which is in itsolf unequivo- cally a good, when altogether innocent), or by cirqulating money in tho neighborhood, or by tending to keop up an excellent breed of horses for purposes of direct utility. The severest moralist could not deny that the aal- mated acenes at the Saratoga races are en- couraging, Brother Jonathan is manilostly beginning to leara that “all work and uo play” is not the thing.

The news we published yesterday, both from Paris and London, indicates that these Powers are fully alive to the importance of the question, We learn that nearly all their representatives at Constantinople had urged the Sultan to a course of conciliation and mederation, and that the difficulty botwoen the Porte and the Khedive of Egypt is in process of a satisfactory arrangement, ie The firman granting the privileges to Egypt which the Sultan throatened to withdraw bears date February 13, 1841. By that instrument the government of this province of the Turkish empire was conferred on a Pacha of the family of the late Mohammed Ali and his then living family, the members of which were to succeed him by seniority. By the said firman the Governor of Egypt was to recognize all laws and treaties enacted and concluded by the Porte; the imports aud revenues wero to be collected in the name of the Sultan ; one-fourth of the revenue was to be transmitted yearly to Constantinople; the army limited to eighteen thousand men, and all officers above the rank of major to be appointed by the Sultan on the nomination of the Pacha, and sbips-of-war to be built only by express permission of the Porte. The non-fulfilment of any of these con- ditions authorized the Porte to cancel the con~ cessions then granted. The revival of this firman, many of tho con- ditions of which were supposed sto have been materially modified by concessions in 1566, which accorded the right of succession ina direct line to the Viceroys of Egypt and the power of wielding absolute authority over all the territory under their dominion, indicates the determination of the Grand Vizier to exer- cise something more than mere nominal con- trol over a country whose commercial impor- tance promises so much as the result of the great canal enterprise soon to be completed. We have before expressed the opinion that the Viceroy of Egypt was playing a game for independent royalty, backed possibly by the promised sympathy and support of soma. powerful European friend. His continued snubbings of the Commander of the Faithful lead one to believe that he is not only aware of his coming importance, but feels himself already strong enough to defy Turkey. The late difficulty, considered in connection with the recent visits of the Pacha, the unqualified sympathy received at several European courta, the rumored arming of Egypt and the undis- guised jealousy of the Sultan, proves that any- thing but pacific relations are existing be~ tween the Suzerain and his subject ; indeed, decisive measures of Turkey might provoke a rupture and complications compromising the peace of the Continent at any moment. European Powers are interested alike in the commercial future of Egypt, the uninterrupted operation of the Suez Canal aod the welfure and protection of a sovereign under whose auspices and geucrous patronage the desert tlelds of the first Jewish wanderings are being converted into highways of commerce, aud aa era of new civilization inaugurated. Should a struggle be commenced by Abdul Aziz, in an attempt to compel the submission and humiliation of Ismail Pacha, it would hardly be carried on without the active intor- vention of other Powers. It is truo that the Viceroy unaided would be unable to contend against the formidable forces of the Porte; but it depends whether or not he feels author- ized to rely upon foreign aid in any attempt to throw off the Turkish yoke and strike for independent royalty, or make the explanations demanded of him by the Sultan. The repeated provocations of which the Sultan is complaining have their signi- ficance, and in awaiting other developments we are constrained to construe it, as before stated, in meaning that the Viceroy is not acting unadvisedly and with a certainty of humiliation, If such be not the caso we may expect ample apologies to be made and satis- factory relations again restored, as is now iati- mated, between the Porte and Viceroy. Tar Internationa, Boat Race.—The Harvard boys appear to be picking up on the Thames. Report says that they improve ia the rapidity of their stroke with every day's practice at the oar, and that thelr popularicy among the London sports is gaining strength. They will have to contest the honor of cham- plonship under difficulties—a fact which will make their success all the more glorious should they be fortunate enough to win the race, There seems to be & great deal of good feeling existing towards them in England, not the least demonstration of which is the inter- national comlty extended by the railroad companies, who pass the crew free on their roads in special cars.wherever they want to go. This in itself, though trifling, is an indi- cation that our boys will be likely to got, not only fair play, but a good-natured recognition of their pluck and skill to the full extent of their capacity to illustrate these qualities. We wish thom good luck. Let them stick to their oare until they can master the muddy waters ead currents of old Father Thames, vemember- log alware that “‘aragtion gages pocieat.”.
