’ —TBLEGRAPHIC FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD ENGLAND. The Irish Land Question Omcially Intreduced. Lonpon, Sept. 4, 1869, ‘Tae Marquis of Hartington attended the Cutters’ ‘Dr Aquet at Sheitleld last night. He made @ speech, He said:— The task for the onaming session of Parliament Would be the settlement of the irish land question. He hoped the subject would be debated with as little litical feeling as je. It had never been the ttle ground of party. Men were comparatively unpiedged, and statesmen of various opinions showed an honest disposition to grapple with the difficulties surrounding this matter. Cardinal Cullen’s Pastoral. The London 7imes comments as follows on Cardl- nal Cullen’s last pastoral and on the claims put forth by the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireiand:— “They demand the overthrow of common educa- tion, and the exaltauon of denominationalism. The language of Archbishop Cullen must provoke resentment. The pretensions of the Catholic hierar- chy toward the State are intolerable. There is mot one of their resolves on education which the people wfl not emphaticaily repudiate, and which, if brought before Parliament, will not be rejected. The leason of the past two years seems lost on these prelates. They have not understood how a proposal of great moderation and acknow: Jedged wisdom proved abortive last session through the profound antipathy of Parliament to applying public money to Catholic uses, The present propo- Sals are about as hopeless as any that‘could be pro- Pounded. England and Scotland will not listen to them. Even in Ireland they wili not command the assent of classes interested in higher education, and in Parliament they would be mentioned only to ve condemned," Canada to be Consoliduted and Developed. Lonpon, Sept. 4, 1869, The London Post to-day has an editorial on Canadian matters, The writer says the consolida- tion and development of Canada are at hand. Im- migration 1s increasing, the government is active, @nd the relations with the United States are in a fair Way of improving. People and money are the great destderata, Let Canada show that these can safely and profitably be sent there and the Old Country will be found supporting and invigoraung the New in a better manner than in supplying her with inade- quate garrisons, The Cotton Supply. LIVERVOOL, Sept, 4, 1869, The imports of cotton from ail ports have been unprecedentedly heavy tor the past few days.. The Byron ‘Scandal? Case. Lonbon, Sept. 4, 1869, Mr, Wiliam Howitt writes. to the London News to-day on the Byron scandal. He says there is little doubt that the altered conduct of Lady Byron to- Wards her husband was the result of her father’s Tepresentations, backed up by some odious story. He traces the conduct of the wife in buying up the husband’s memotr ana destroying it and asks if the evidence of the party destroying the evidence of an opponent can be accepted. The same act of depriv- ing #yron of the opportunity for self-justification deprived the wife of the right to advance fresh charges. The writer feels certain that this will be the ulti- Mate verdict of the puvlic. The Weather and Crops. Lonpoy, Sept 4, 1869.

The festival will continue until Tuesday, when the proceedings will be brought toa close. FRANCE. Bedical Opinion of Napoleon’s Health—Prince Napolcon’s Position—The Senate in Opposi« tate PARIS, Sept. 4, 1800. The Presse to-day says Dr. Nelaton, the Emperor's physician, contradicts the alarming reports which are constantly arising in regard to the health of Na- poleon. Dr. Nelaton declares that his convalescence ‘will be rapid if he takes necessary rest. The Pudlic (newspaper) reports that the Emveror 1s fast recovering, and that he remained yesterday evening conversing with the Empress until eleven a’clock. The Journal Opiciel of Paris reports that the ‘Ministers met in council to-day, but makes no men- ton of the presence of the Emperor. Prince Napoleon to-day had an interview with the Emperor. The Senate by a vote of 113 to 9 rejected an amendment to the Senatus Consultum proposing Uberal reforms in the constitution of the Senate. ‘The amendment was offered by Senator Borjean and supported by Prince Napolcon. Prince Napoleon’s Position. Lonpon, Sept. 4, 1869, ‘The Imperialist journals of Paris express great discontent at Prince Napoleon's speech and declare that he went too far. The general opinion, however, ig that the Prince displayed great ability and a Uberal spirit. The Emperor Remains in Paris. PARIS, September 4, 1869. The Emperor will not go to the Camp de Chalons to-day, as before reported. SPAIN. Another Dynastic Hope.

Spanish Interests at Halifax—An American Ste Overhauled and Searched. Hairax, N. S., Sept. 4, 1869. The American steamer Hornet, which arrived at this port a few days ago, has been selzed by the cus- toms authorities of the Dominion of Canada, and 13 now lying at the Queen’s wharf, discharging her coals and stores, which the agitated Consular repre- sentative of Spain and the lynx-eyed official of the Custom House suspect of concealing arms and am- munition intended for the Cubans, There is con- siderable excitement, and the street is filled with rumors which are generally wide of the truth. The Hornet was formerly the blockade runner Lady Sterling. She 1s owned by William Rand, of Portland, Me. Her seizure was undoubtedly made at the instigation of the Spanish Consul, upon the affidavit of a sailor to the effect that her supply of coals covered arms and ammunition. When the Hornet fret came into port she was boarded by the Custom House officers, and carefully scrutinized and pronounced free of suspicion. Her papers were ex- amined and nothing irregular was discovered, She had cleared at Philadelphia for Queenstown via Halifax, and there was nothing to show that her voy- age and destination were not legitimate, The allegation that munitions of war were concealed under her coais was denied under oath by the officers of the Hornet. Every laciiity was afforded the customs authorities for making @ thorough investigation, ‘This did not sat- isfy the Spanish Consul, aud he demanded a more rigid search, which has been acceded to by Collec- tor Barney. It is reported that the Dominion re- quired the Spaaish Consul to furnish securities to the amount of £30,000 sterling before proceeding in the matter, but this cannot be traced to any relia- ble source. Judge Jackson, the American Consul, has, I under- stand, entered his omecial protest against this later proceeding, as he considers the evidence tnsuitl- cient to sustain the allegations and the seizure un- warrantable under the circumstances. No doubt, ere this, correspondence has passed be- tween Secretary Fisn and Judge Jackson. ‘lhe pro- vincial government of Nova scotia has refused to assume any responsibility, and the onus of the affair will rest entirely upon, the Dominion government. The capt:m of the Hornet, W, H. Esling, 1s per- fectly cool and confident. He says that nothing be- Side two pistols can be tound on board, and is san- guine of making the British government pay deariy tor its precipitate action. The investigation will not be concluded before Tuesday, and is pretty sure to end iu ue release of the Hornet and in showing that et has committed a foolish and costly under.

The Test Oath Question—Opinion of Attorney General Hoar, RICHMOND, Sept. 4, 1869, The following is Attorney Genera! Hoar’s opinion, received this morning by General Canby :— ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, WASHINGTON, August 28, 1309, To the Hon. Joun A. RawLins, Secretary of War:— Sin—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July 27, 1899, in which you request my opiniou “upon $o much Of the questions sud- Mitted in the letter of the Commanding General of the First Military District, dated the 10th inst, and accompanying papers, copies of which are enclosed, as refers to the legal Qualifications of oMicers to be elected under the pro- posed constitution of the State of Virginia; and especially upon the question whether persons elected to office in such State, under said constitution, are required, by the supplemental reconstruction act of July 19, 1867, to take and subscribe to the oath pre- ‘scribed or referred to in section two of sald act, be- oe entering upon the duties of their respective offices. ‘The latter question 1s the only one indicated with such distinctness as to enable we to be fully satis- fled that ite purport is apprehended, and I there- fore confine my answer to that. By the statute of April 10, 1869, the registered voters of Virginia were authorized to vote on the question of the adoption of a constitution for the State, and at the same time to elect officers under it, subject to the approval of Congress, The vote bas been taken in pursuance of the provisions of the act, and the election held, and some parts of the constl- tution submitted have been adopted by the people and others rejected. The parts of the proposed con- stitution thus adopted, if they shall be approved by Congresa, Will be the constitution of Virginia, under which all ita oiticers will be required to act, ana the qualifications as weil as the duties of these officers will be determined by 1t, When Virginia ts restored to ita Droper relations to the country usa State ot the Union its oMicers and Legislature will be sach as the constitution of the State provides, deriving their edhe! from that instrument, and tt will clearly not in the power of Congress to impose any require- ment of additional qualifications upon them dif- ferent from those, which, under the constitntion of the United States, may be required in all the States, If, therefore, any tests were to be imposed upon members of the Legisiature not provided by the constitution of Virginia, or any restriction tmposed upon the people of the State in their choice of officers, not recognized by it and now made applicable under the legitimate powers of Con- gress to all the States, the Legislature and officers would not, in my opinion, be the Legislature and ofiicers of Virginia under its constitution. 1 do not see (hat Congress can undertake to furnish the State with a suitable Legislature to start with, or to exer- cise any control over tts composition which could not be exercised over sunsequent Legislatures. lam therefore of opinion that the oath prescribed by the statute of 1562, and by the statute of J 19, 1867, chapter 30, section 9 re quired to be taken by all persons ‘elected or a pointed to ofice in the said military districts, under any so-called State or municipal authority,” is not to be required of the officers of the State of Vir- ginia, or members of the Legislature elected under the new constitution. It does not seem to me that the provisions of this ninth section, which are appli- cable to tue government of the State under military authority, were intended to apply to the Legislature and oMcers under whom the State is to be restored to its proper relations to the Union, and by whom the government of the State is to be administered alter its restoration. ‘This opinion ts strongly confirmed by a reference to the second section of the same act, which artho- rizes the commander of any district named in the act to suspend or remove from office or from the setae of official powers any olticer or person olding or exercising or professing to hold or exer- cise any civil or military office or duty in said dis- trict under any power, election, appointment or authority derived from or granted by or claimed under the so-called State or the government thereof, and to detail a competent officer or soldier of the army to perform such duties. It would be impossible to suppose that Congress could intend that a Legis- lature, under the constitution of a State, could have its members appointed by a detail from soldiers of the army. The reasonable concl a seeins to me to be that tt was not intended that any sueh Legisia- ture should be allowed to exist and act until recon. struction was completed, except for the limited and qualified purposes requisite to reconstruction; but, on the other hand, [ fully concur the view of the General Command! in Virginia; that under the reconstruction acts o Cony no officer or legislator 18 competent, or should be permitted to exercise any of the functions or power of his office within that State, except so far as those acts themselves provide, without taking the oath which is referred to in the statute of 1867, above quoted. The act of Aprii 10, 1869, requires the lature to mectat a time which it desig- nates. That it is to meet implies that it is to come together for sume purpose. It is required under the previous law to act upon the question of adopt! @ filteenth admendment to the constitu- ven of the United States before the admission of the “pte bo representation in Congress. tem of opinion, therefore, that it may come to- getver, organize and act upon that amendment; put it unt! Congress shall have approved the consti- vation and the action under it, and shall have re- stored the State to its proper place in the Union by recognizing its form of government as republican, and admitted 1t to representation, the Legtsiature is not entitied and could not, without violation of law, be allowed to transact any Dusiness, pass any act, or resolve or undertake to assume any other function of a Legisiature if the test oath has not been required of its members; and that no omcer elected under tho new constitutton can enter upon the duties of his office without taking the oath while the military government continues. Very reapect- ly, E. R. HOAR, Attorney General. The Legislature to be Called About the 15th inst. RICHMOND, Sept. 4, 1869. General Canby will issue a prociamation for the election about the 15th inst. He is delayed by dis- puted returns from one county.

RICHMOND, Sept. 4, 1869, Toe papers to-day state that the Norfolk and Great Weatern Railroad Company concluded tts deiibera- tions in that clty by entering into a contract for the sale of 50,000 acres of land, now heid or hereafter to be acquired, to the Vir- ginta International Land Company, composed of anumber of wealthy gentlemen of New York, several of whom spent two weeks in the early part of June in the examination of the country aiong the line of the proposed railroad, Another important matter brought to the consideration of the Norfolk and Great Western Company was the subject of the consolidation of their line with the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Railroad. The directors had an inter- view with a member of the executive committee of the road, aud took the initiatory step for the pur- ose of making their road part of the Southern Proiae road, Acommittee was appointed to confer with @ committee of the Southern Pacific to make & contract for the consolidation of the roads, George Peabody’s Gift College. RICHMOND, Sept. 4, 1869. The Richmond £nquirer of this morning, speak- ing of George Peabody and hia recent donation to the college over which General Lee presides, says:— His latest gift to this great interest ts peculiarly gratifying to the Southern people. The South has ‘watched with most appreciative interest the labors of General Lee to establish for her benefit a first class college. Nothing in the grand career of her favorite son has endeared bim more to his coun- 4rymen than the self-sacrificing zeal in their behalf with which he has prosecuted this object since the war Mr. Peabody, following the promptings of a high-minded libera ity, has donated $60,000 to Wash- oa College to be appiled by General Lee tn car- rying out his plans for the extension of that institu- tion. The generous donor could not have appiled the gift in any way in which it would have conduced more to the object in view, nor could he have done au act more gratetul to the whole South. Even his princety donations to Southern common school education have not aw ed such @ feeling as will the comparatively email one to Washington College. The former were iaced mainly in the bands of men not of our sec- on, strangers to us and to our needa, and conse- ently it required time for us to be made to rea. lize the high purposes of the giver. The latter has been destowed upon one of the leading institutions of the South and placed in the hands of gancrai Lea to General Lee’s 1369.—TRIPLE, SHEET. SENATOR FESSENDEN.

It was further found that @ warehouse in course of erec- tion on Irving street, owned by Mr. Kelsey, Sr., en- croached upon the sidewalk, which was ordered to be corrected. Yesterday morning the Street Com- missioner, accompanied by a squad of policemen, visited the place ahd ordered the work to be discon- tinued. Young Kelsey thereupon seized hold 0: ar. Furey and attempted to e;ect him from the premises, but was arrested by the police. Both the accused will appear for examination on Monday next.

Return of the President to Saratoga—Closing of the Season—Pollticians—Gratifying Con dition of the Revenue [mprovements at the Union. Sararoaa Springs, N, Y,, Sept. 3, 1369 The return of the President, rejoining bis family, who remained at the Union during his absence off cially in Washington, has revived the attraction of Saratoga life, and, notwithstanding the incorrigible , fall in the temperature, a few new arrivals are noted on the registers daily, There is, however, a lament- able tuinning out of the fashionables, at least so the ladies think, One of (hese interesting representa- tives of the human family last evening, while sitting in front of a blazing fire in the hotel parlor, with a heavy woullen shawl drawn about her shoulders, with her eyes vacantly fixed upon the cheerful embers, with a countehance drawn out in sympathetic unison with her feelings, sugwesting forcibly the last rose of summer and the rapidly fleeting days of the season of gayety, ta sollloquizing sentences and shivering accents ex- claimed, “Oh, dear me, how short the summers are. Everybody is going away. They go by hundreds and come by units, How dreadfully lonely itis gee ting. Taree hundred from one hotel ina day. Only three arrivals to take thelr places, [ wish it were July.” The words of the fair soliloquiat here be came inaudibie, a few broken sentences occasionally, such as “Go home," “Last days of tae season,’ +1870," Xt summer,” “Fine time,” “New fash- tona,"’ “Gayest season of all next year,” and #0 forth, Wound up her lamentations. ‘Those Who are how arriving, after the butterflies have gone to their winter homes, come here for & brief pertod to partake of the health-inspiring waters of the springs, and to enjoy, unemoarrasaed by the crowd, a few days of reai recreation, ‘The Preaident, in visiting here with his family at this stage of tho season, fairly anticipaced much benefit in regard to heath and rest. He finds fre- quent opportunity of driving out and enjoying hum- self quietly in his own way. A few political intruders, however, followea him up on the train yesterday, and up to a very late hour last night and at a very eariy hour this morning these individuals might have been seen with wise faces and im occasional mysterious consultations in retired corners standing about the hotel watching forachance. A card drawn up in due form asking the President to name an hour for an interview was formally presented. These individuais have been waiting hourly for a reply ever since yesterday, It is very singular that a President cannot be allowed the ordinary privileges of other men, but that he must be bored and hunted down at ail times and under all ctrcumstances, If the President wished to be annoyed in this manner be might have put up with the confusion of reno- vauon going on in the White House, paid no attention to the great coal, iron and ratiroad interesta which he has been givi his personal attention; he might have sacri- ficed the pleasure of mingling with his fellow ctu- zens, learning their wishes and consulting their necessities in the prosecution hereafter of the detatia of the home policy of his administrawon, and given his summer months to listening to the selfish inter- ests of politicians, and neglected entirely the good of those over whom he rules. If politicians had the common sense of other people they could easily see that they are not only injuring themselyes but very much marring the peace aad enjoyment of the Prest- dent. . One of the subjects which received the attention of the President during his recent visic to Washington was the working of the revenue, He waa exceed- ingly gratified to find that where less than $6,000,000 were collected on spirits during the latter part of the late administration over $59,000,000 have beer collected from the same source so far under the new order of things. Everything else in regard to the proceeds of internal revenue ts in propor. tion, From present indications next winter will see a thorough modification of taxauion—the effect of the many reforms already set in motion by direction of the President, ‘The industries of the country will be benetited; the people will be relieved of tne burdens imposed upon them by the irregularities which characterized the last days of Andrew Jonn- son’s term of oftice. The government already shows a healthy administration, and the whole laad will be restored by its purifying influence, ‘The irrepressible Lelunas having catered to fash- fonable circles tn the conveniences and accessories of gay life, in numerous masquerades and balis, aud atthe game time filled the public, &) well ag 5e.ect stomacna, from their capacious larder, and addiog & few stone to the heaituy dimensions of one of the brothers particulariy, have taken to the pick and shovel. Two days ago an army of sappers aud miners were recruited and mustered on the grounds of we Union, To-day the work of improvement shows rapid strides, and by next summer, in addition to a large increase of ‘quarters,’ visitors here will be surprised tosee the Union receiving them with @ smiling front of marble. In view of 1870 being the “biggest” season of all the past, the Union musi be equal to the occasion, and accordingly the new tin- provements. ‘One of the surgeons to the Empress Eugénte was here several days ago, and after overhauling the Union gave assurance tnat two of the cotuages at- tached to the hotel were just what would suit the Empress, He said the Empress would visit Saratoga next summer, Last a about an hour afier his return, the President, Mrs. Grant and the two children spent several hours at @ private party at the residence of Jon A.
