Tammany Holl and tho Democratic Pare ty—A Big Movement, We touched the other day upon the danger which menaces the Tammany oligarchy in the German movements afoot to upset the Irish monopoly of the big plums and fat jobs of the Wiswam. These hostile Toutonic organiza- tions are evidently increasing; and from all common purpose among the various opposing fyctions, native and German, they may play the very deuce with the local arrangements of Whetiver she might not asstiue her appropriate posi- | Tammany in our approaching fall elections, But Tammany, meantime, is striking for higher game than our city spoils and plunder, The vote of this city last November, which turned the scales of the State in favor of Sey- mour and Hoffman by majorities which no idea of assuming the management of the de- | moeracy of the whole country. Moreover, the . manipulations of the National Convention of | ;28 to a decision July, 1868, in Tammany Hall, by Seymour and | yfassachusetts Labor Reform Conventh his confederates, satisfied the sachems that “some things can be done as well as others,” if not a good deal better. It was thus made plain that a few shrewd and bold managing men can twist the pliable materials of these national conventions into any shaps they please, Best of all, in this view of the subject, Tam- many has the sinews of. war, and for a grand purpose can raise a million of money upon a day's notice, and without cost to the sachems any sdvances made, ature. Who cares for the twaddling mock It foliowa, then, that Tammany, having the The field, then, is open to Tammany, gained. Tho next step resolved upon is a more active and devoted Tammany man than Mr. Belmont as the head of the National Democratic Executive Committee. The edict has been issued, and Mr. Tweed, head sachem, has been named as the man required. It is the Americus Club against the Manhattan Club; it is democratic Bourbon against aris- tocratic champagne; it is Tweed against Belmont; but it is something more—it is Tam- many moving to take the place once held by the famous Alb:ny Regency. The sachems know very well that in the palmy days of Jackson and Van Buren a little knot of men, with an organ at Albany, known ag the Regency, and with the aid of an organ at Washington and one at Richmond, were the power behind the throne which controlled the affairs of the party, its nominations, elections, offices and jobs, and which regulated the order of the succession. We all know that a meeting thereof and the proclamation of a new democratic departure under the auspices of Tammany Hall. She has the power and sho means to use it, and Pendleton, of Ohio; Packer, of Pernsylvania, and Adams, of Massachusetts, Chase and all other outside democratic aspirants will do well to make their peace with Tammany, The ChinesesKurlingame Trenty—Reported Rejection of It by the Chinese Govern m The telegraphic news which wo published yealerday to the effect that the gevernment at Pekin had refused to ratify the treaty made by Mr. Burlingame with the United States, must be received with a great deal of suspi- cion, It comes from Hong Kong, by the way of London, and therefore through British hands all the way, It has the impress of the old British party in China, which has been bit- terly hostile to Mr. Burlingame and his mission from the first. As to all the talk nbout the mission being inimical to the Chinese people, it is balderdash, The parties who make such representations mean by the people of China themselves, and perhaps a limited number of Chinese at Hong Kong and the seaboard towns aswell, And it {s possible that there may be in the empire a considerable party of old Chi- nese tories, which opposes any progress or in- novation, But Prince Kung, the enlightened statesman, who appointed Mr. Burlingame and gave him instructions what to do, is still the Regent of China, and we know that the government there is absolute, at the same time that it is paternal in character. We believe Mr. Burlingame is too sagacious to exceed his instructions or to do what would be inimical to the goveru- ment he represents. Indeed, the objection made to him here and in Europe has been that he was too much of a Chinaman. Then these reports are more doubtful when we consider that the treaty with the United States was made fifteen months ago and that the text of it must have been in the hands of the Chinese government a year, or nearly so, Would it take a year for that government to come to a conclusion on such an important matter ? Would Mr, Burlingame have been permitted to goon all this time making treaties similar in character with the European Powers? Such the signs of the times, with anything like a | 9 supposition is incredible. Nor can we be- lieve the report that the American Minister at Pekin, Mr. J. Ross Browne, has expressed himself in the manner stated with regard to the Burlingame mission, No man in his sonses in his position would have been guilty of thus acting against the interests of his country and the liberal policy inaugurated by the Chinese Embassy. The whole story has on the face of itthe stamp of a British canard, emanating pruning of alleged frauds could reach, was a | from the old opium smugglers atid enemies vote which inspired Tammany with the grand | both of the United States and Chinese pro- gress. We must regard it with great sus- picion and wait for further news before com- The great Labor Congress held in Philadel- phia is certain to inaugurate a series of work- ingmen’s conventions throughout the country. One such convention {3 at present holding its session in Boston, and, like the Philadelphia Congress, seems inclined to advocate a thor- ough economic reform. It professes at the outset that it has no connection whatever with either of the great political parties. Tho reso- lutions proposed are numerous and of a thor- oughly miscellaneous description; some really good, but some so utterly extravagant that we have no doubt as to how the good sense of the delegates will dispose of them. We find, for instance, a sweeping pro- posal made to get rid of the Senate and vest all authority in the House of Representatives. That, however, is nothing to what follows. In order to keep the power more directly with the people it is proposed that every measure of legislation should be subjected to the popular vote before becoming law. A nice muddle that would give us, So long as these working men address themselves to tue subject of the rights of labor versus capital they may raise their own status and add to the general prosperity, but If they take the whole general politics of the country in hand they may very easily get out of their depth. Some of the points were, however, well taken, although perhaps the promovants them- selves are not sufficiently educated to treat them in their complete comprehensiveness. The introduction of coolle labor, the use of labor-saving machinery, with the distribution of the profits accruing from it, and the mattter of the equalizing and defining « ‘‘legal” rate of interest were among the number. The woman's rights question brought trouble, as usual, Miss Collins retired from the State Central Commit- tee, Miss M. M. Wallbridge taking the floor. Miss Wallbridge maintained that the cause of the workingmen and workingwomen was iden- tical, and that female suffrage would come in the Regency rose to this height of power upon a very small cash capital, What, then, may not Tammany do, with her headquarters in New York, and with millions of money at her command, and with city spoils in her con- trol greater in amount than all the party spoils offers of the operators, and wil me work on Monday at an aavance of forty-seven per centon | the wages paid in May last, | The City.

Boat Race Tor Day, At five o'clock this afiernoon the great inter- national boat race between the crews of Har- vard University and Oxford University will take place on the Thames, the course being from Putney to Mortlake, Considerable ex- citement has existed for some time past as to the issue of this friendly contest between the bone and sinew, the skill and mastership of the oar of the two universities, The Harvard crew ure the champion oarsmen in American waters. Tho Oxford men carry the palm on the Thames, It is, therefore, a contest be- tween the recognized best oarsmen on each side of the Atlantic, and henco it is that it be- comes purely international in its character. And hence, also, the event is exciting because of the national pride Involved in the result, Probably no one will be very much disap- pointed at that rosult, whatever it may be, ex- cept those who have money staked on it—and they are legion—but still we feel an interest deeper, perhaps, than we care to express inan event which touches us all, Two weeks ago the bets in Eogland were five toone on the Oxford crew. Yestorday the odds had fallen to the moderate figure of two to one on the English University boys. In New York not many days ago five to one was offered on Oxford; but yosterday the odds were very small on the English crew. This change can probably be ao- counted for by the influence which the opinions expressed by such experts as Kelly, the champion oarsman of the Thames, and Wal- ter Brown, the American oarsman, who has gone over to try his mettle with the famous Ronforth, produced upon public sentimept here, Both of these skilled boatmen, as well as the jolly young watermen of the Thames, are reported to have said that the Harvard boys can hardly be beaten if thelr ooxawain gets them safoly and skilfully under Hammersmith bridge, which is about half way through the course, ahead of their adversaries, After that comes into play muscle and endurance, the athleti- cism of the contest, if we may so call it—the test between the long, sweeping stroke of the English oarsmen, where the weight of the body and the power of the muscles of the back are added to the strength of the arms, and the short arm stroke, from the shoulder, of the American boys, Then will be demonstrated, probably, some indication of the difference in training and in blood between men of the same original stock, but varying in their di- rect lineage. For example, the sons of an- cestors on this side of the Atlantic, who were bred to labor and lived by their own energy and industry, contend on one side, and the scions of an aristocracy which has been for generations nurtured in ease and luxury, on the other, There may not be much in this idea, because the Oxonians are doubtless as muscular and well proportioned as the Ameri- can crew; but yet popular prejudice turns in that direction, and the question bas been mooted as in favor of the Americans upon the score of endurance, We are speculating upon the probabilities, however, only a few hours in advance of the certain result, As we have said, the race will come off at five o'clock to-day. It will proba- bly be decided withla twenty-five minutes at furthest, considering that the Harvard men have already gone over the distance in a fow seconds more than twenty-one minutes on one of their trial trips. Therefore we may expect to learn the,result by cable, if there is no unusual delay, between {wo and three o'clock, New York time, or two hours before the boats start, according to London time. It is needless to say that the result of this international trial of skill will be looked for with much interest, It isa far more pleasant incident in the way of news from Europe than the reault of a bloody day at Sadowa or Sol- ferino, There will be no memories of sorrow connected with it, although there may be some twinges of disappointment and some unloosing of purse-stringa, The tone of the English press, we notice, has of late been rather favor- able to the Harvards, guaranteeing, at least, a fair field and no favor, and inclining to the honest English toast, ‘May the best man win.” And go say we. Very Frenchy. Bolineau, ® Frenchman, has addressed to the White House at Washington a letter requesting the President of the United States to issue a charter authorizing him to establish in New York city a gambling house, to be regularly licensed and placed under the surveillance of the police, to con- tribute a portion of its profits to the govern- ment and to be managed in all respects like the gambling houses of Baden Baden and Wiesbaden. It is manifest that the gambling fraternity in Europe are disposed to take time by the forelock and to secure in America a wider field for their operations than is offered by the German watering places, where their special privileges may possibly, but not pro- bably, expire in 1870. But what ia peculiarly Frenchy about M. Bolineau’s project is the implied idea that the personal government which exists under the shadow of the Arch of Trinmph at Paris and throughout France is possessed by the President of the United States, - who, he supposes, can authorize such ad- ditions to the already acknowledged attractions of New York asa summer resort as to afford subjects for @ new picture like the “Tapis Vert,” which Gustave Doré painted and which he not long since» unwisely destroyed. Boli- neau will not easily understand that neither Presiden(Grant, nor the Hon. John Morrissey, member of Congreas, nor Wall street, nor the Union League Club, nor the Manhattan Club, nor Tammany itself, can possibly encourage his ambitious &nd very Frenchy scheme.

Here is a chance for Andrew Jackson Davis, if he is not an ar- trify the world, Spain and Cuba, . All our news from Spain and in relation to Spain is of a picce, The present government is a failure. In its beat moments it waa but a timid and rather cowardly comprowise. But for the hold which it had on the army and the navy it could not have lasted a single day. Our latest telegrams go to sow that the Carlists are not put down, but that, on the contrary, armed bands are still traversing the provinces, The Isabella party is quite as hopeful as the Carlists, Meanwhile the Ministry is in danger of being divided on the Church question. Zo- rilla has been severe on the bishops, and To- pete, who was one of the original forces of the revolution, threatens to resign if the Church ig not more mercifully dealt with, Internally, all things considered, Spain is as bad ag any coun- try well can be. The condition of Cuba aggravates the situa- tion in Spain, The insurgents in Cuba main- tain their ground. Spanish forces and Ameri- can neutrality have both failed to make an end of the insurrection. The-Cuban patriots are more hopeful to-day than they have been since the commencement of the revolution, The latest threats of the patriots are alarming. An island so beautiful, so rich, to be made a desert is, perhaps, more than can ba done by man; but the process threatened makes one’s blood run cold, Spain can be benefited and so can Cuba by one sensible transaction. Spain needs money ; Cuba wants liberty. Both can accomplish their end. Tho United States are not unwil- ling to give Spain money if Spain gives up Cuba, All the world is of opinion that Spain can make no more use of Cuba, that she has sucked Cuba long enough, and that henceforward Cuba must suck Spain. There is one proper end to the dificulty, but only one, Let Spain name her price. Let the price be reasonable, and the difficulty is ended. Spain will be richer and less distracted. Cuba will be hap- pier and more prosperous. The world gen- erally will be better for the change that must follow.

The robbery occurred abou four o'clock on Tnurscay. Mrs. Schank, hearing a noise up stairs, proceeded to the room, surprised the thief, who jumped from the second story window to the garden and escaped with his plunder, Late yesterday Sergeant Vosburg, of th second precinct, accompanted by Mr. Scha: at the Central Police Office with a white cap thief had left behind him. From Mr. Schanck it was ascertained that tho robber effected an entrance through tne front door, that a servant had carelessly left ajar, and proceeded to the second foor.
