Prim reached the capitg! from Paris. The embarkation of Spanisp troops for Cuba continued, Prim had a second audience with Napoleon previous to ms departure from Paris. Lord Clarendon, For- @ign Secretary of England, had also a second audience with the Emperor in Paris. Napoleon has, it ts alleged, telegraphed to the French Minister in Washington that “France desires that Cuba shall be retained by Spain.” The Premier of Austria was expected in Paris. The Duke of Genoa remains a \Ukely candidate for the throne of Spain. It is pro- posed the Duke shall marry the daughter of the Duke de Montpensier. Our special correspondence from Europe supplics very important and most interesting detaus of our cable telegrams to the 7th of September, China. The steamship Great Republic arrived at San Francisco on Saturday, bringing China dates to the 1sth of August. Her freight for New York consists of 131 packages of silk, 5,452 packages of tea and 26 packages of miscellaneous merchandise. The steamer America arrived at Hong Kong on the 4th of August irom New York. The Austrian Embassy, after receiving numerous sitghts from the local authorities, had finally reached Pekin. The second crop of teas, which was coming in, waa most unpro- mising. Some 10,000 families were rendered entirely Gestitute by the overflow of the country near Ching Kiang. The address of the English and American residents to J. Ross Browne and bis reply thereto have been approvea by the Hong Kong Champer of Commerce, Japan.

A party of fanatics made a night aitack upon the foreign settle- ment of Hiago, for the purpose of exterminating the foreigners, but the people were aroused in time to repel and rout the natives.

The Cubans have determined sooner tnan submit to Spanish rale to render the island untenable for the Spaniards, and will destroy all their crops rather than have them seized by their enemies and used as a means with which to carry on the war against them, It is understood that Beo Butler will, early in the coming session of Congress, deliver a scathing speech on the extravagances of several Congres- sional committees which have been travelling across the Continent at government expense. His remarks are expected to upply particularly to the Ways and Means Committee, of which General Schenck is chairman. General Schenck is said to be prepared for his antagonist, haying secured some most dam- aging facts against Bower's connection with certain manufacturing institutions. The President is still at Washington, Pa. He will leave that place on his return to Washington city on Tuesday morning, arriving at the latter piace on ‘Wednesday. Certain pension agents in Pennsylvania recently sppeaied from the instructions of the Commissioner of Pensions, regulating agents’ fees and paying pensions by a check on the Sreasury drawn to the order of the pensioner. The Secretary of the Inte- rior sustains the action of Use Commissioner, and instructs that officer, In case avy agent declines to receive and transmit such checks, to regard all powers of attorney gived him as annulled and to communicate direct with the pensioner himseif. On Saturday morning last a man who had regis- tered his name at the Cataract House, Niagara Falls, as “Carl Schura, New York,” proceeded to the Tavie Rock, at the falls, placed his coat, watch and money in charge of a boy who was standing by end walkea into the water @ few fect from the brink. He was soon carried over the precipice and dashed to pieces in the whirlpool below. Last evening Peter Ahern and Thomas Murray entered the saloon of William Girty, in Jersey City.

Jessup, of Philadelphia, and that what with Spanish pride and Amorican sympathies the situation is very critical. Then, in connection with this excitement in Spain, we hear of the government sending vessels of war and additional troops to Cuba. times, as well as individuals, and Spain has been famous for that in her disastrous wars lies, the excess of their pride and chagrin at the prospect of losing Cuba may talk of war; but woe have no idea that Spain will venture upon a conflict with the United States, for there would be neither honor nor profit in such a conflict. She would lose all her remaining American pogsessions and get nothing in return but defeat and an enormous increase of her debt. deed, she has not the means to wage such a war. European journals says, “that Spain, with a divided people, a brankrupt treasury, one colony in revolt, others to lose and nothing to win, can seriously contemplate war with one of the greatest Powers on earth,” have to declare war against the United States. Our government has been active for a year during the struggle in Cuba in favoring Spain by suppressing expeditions to aid the Cubans. It has indirectly aided Spain by permitting arms, ammunition and supplies to go from this country for the Spaniards, while it has been vigilant in preventing any leaving for the Cubans. tion to publio sentiment here in the desire to show its good feeling and honesty to a friendly nation, has been prolonged for a year, the atrocious conduct has the Cubans all the time, and when the insurrection pro- mises to be successful, our government offers itself ag a mediator to settle the difficulty. Is that a cause of war? Is the offer to guarantee @ hundred millions of dollara to Spain for the independence of Cuba, when by simply being passive or inactive Cuba would be freed with- out paying a dollar, an unfriendly act? Can this moderation and liberality of the United States be construed into a cause of war? The Regent Serrano certainly did not so consider it, for he thanked our government, through Mr. Sickles, for its offer of mediation. went so far even as to submit a modified pro- position to that of Mr. Sickles for the settle- ment of the difficulty, having for its end the independence of Cuba, Though the terms of his proposition were extravagant and could not be entertained, the fact that Spain con- sented to negotiate for the independence of Cuba at all was important, and showed that the action of the United States could not be regarded as offensive. will probably look at the matter in the same light their government does after the first ebuliition of excitement subsides, they act as sensible men they will do so. special telegram from Washington, published to-day, goes to show that the opinions of the British and French newspapers on the subject of Cuba count as nothing in official circles, and that the Cabinet cannot understand why the Spaniards should become so intensely excited over the offer by General Sickles of a good round sum of money for the island, with the chance of being freed from the care of a people who, it appears, do not want them. diplomatic action in Madrid conveyed no threat, but, on the contrary, much excellent advice. gerous in this case—a fact which is confirmed by the enunciated resolve of the Cubans that NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET.

We wish to remain on friendly terms with Spain; but we cannot sup- port her any longer in a cruel and hopeless war upon Cuba, Whatever course the Spanish government may take, the time is near at hand when the United States will recognize the Cubans as belligerents or independent, That, we have no doubt, is the determined policy of the administration, as it is certainly the wish of the people. This subject will come up probably in Cabinet council soon after General Grant and his Secretaries return to Washington the present week, and we may expect to hear something more decisive, The President is nota man to back down. Send- ing of more Spanish war vessels and troops to Cuba, or the warlike tone of the Madrid press, or Prim’s interviews with Napoleon, or Napo- leon’s despatches to his Minister in Washing- ton, will not turn him aside from his purpose. Nor will the people of this great country give up their policy or the object they have in Cuba—The Excitement in Spain. A telegram from Madrid which we pub- lished yesterday, says the Spanish preas has been in a complete ferment of excitement and indignation since the presentation of General Sickles’ notes to the government, Sickles him- self comes in for a share of abuse as well as the United States government. It is sald by the excited press that he was sent to Madrid because he was known to be a strong partisan of Cuban annexation. The press of Spain, England and France is much occupled with this subject also. While there is still some of the old jealousy of the United States apparent view at the threat of war. But th in the articles of the London and Paris newWs- | will be no ae The Let an papers, the Cuban question and difficulties has only to be firm, and the Spanish are in general fairly discussed. This change of tone is significant and indicates the drift of public sentiment in Europe on the subject. There seems to be an impression that war between Spain and the United States ts possi- ble. One of the London journals says the war enthusiasm is gathering fast in Spain, and government and people will. come to their senses, The present excitement in Spain is simply a little storm, which has been raised probably for political effect, but which will pass away and leave the horizon clear for a seitlement of the Cuban difficulty. The Surplus Revenue=What Shall Be Done with Itt The Secretary of the Treasury has over a hundred and two millions of dollars in coin in his strong box, including the outstanding gold certificates of twenty-one millions and up- wards. It is estimated, too, that the excess of revenue over the expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, will be more than a hundred millions of dollars. Never was a financial minister in a more happy condition. Indeed, the prosperity of his department has become embarrassing. Money—yes, coin— accumulates in his hands to such an amount that he hardly knows what to do with it, The bulls and bears of Wall street gore and tear him in such a way to hold on to his cash, or to let it out in a perfect stream, that he is in an agony of suspense and doubt. In one breath wo might exclaim, happy Secretary! and in another, uahappy Secratary! such is the quandary in which his plethoric money bags place him. Now, if Secretary Boutwell will pay no atten- tion to the gold gamblers, either bulls or bears, and will simply consider what are his specific duties as the financial agent of the government, he will have no trouble. It is outside of his duty entirely to pay any attention to the pri- vate affairs of individuals or to the gold and stock operations of Wall street. He should not listen for a moment to the representations of any gold, stock or individual financtal operators, To do so would not only be estab- lishing a dangerous precedent, but would be entirely beyond his duty. He has simply to collect the revenues faithfully, to pay the current expenses of the government, to economize in every possible way in his pay- ments, and to apply the surplus income of the Treasury in the best manner to reduce the debt, according to law. Beyond this his first object should be to reduce the debt as much as possible with the enormous surplus on hand, and thereby save the interest, and if there be no specific law for it he may assume the authority and Congress will ratify his action. He has this discretionary power, and if he will use it both Congress and the people will commend him for his wisdom. There is no use in keeping such a vast sum of treasure locked up and unemployed. The revenue will come in faster than the disbursements, Why, then, not buy up the debt and save tho inter- est? As to the idea of keeping a large re- sorve of coin to keep down the premium on gold or to facilitate specie payments, that is a delusion and has proved futile. Tho magni- tude of the debt stands in the way of specie payments, and the more that is reduced the nearer we shall approach to a specie basis. Let Mr. Boutwell pay no attention to private interests and only to the interest of his depart- ment and the public at large. Let him save all he can by a judicious application of hia sur- plus funds to the purchase of the debt and re- duction of the annual interest, and both Con- gress and the people will approve of his action, Governments do very foolish things some- with the South American colonies and repub- The Spaniards are very proud, and in In- “It is difficult to believe,” as one of the Nor do we see what cause Spain has or can Tao fact, it has gone in direct opposi- And now, when the war in Cuba when of it by Spain shocked the clvilized world, when have been gaining ground He The people of Spain Indeed, if Our Tue Income Tax.—The Treasury returns show the probability that for the current fiscal year there will be a surplus of one hundred millions. With taxes as they are the govern- ment collects one hundred million more than it spends, and when economy has been applied to its full possibility it may spend fifty million less than it now does, adding that sum to the ex- cessofincome, Atthe same time we hear of a disposition to enforce more stringently the col- lection of the tax on incomes, Certainly, while the taxstands, justice to those who pay requires its full application to all properly subject to its provisions. But the excess above stated shows that it will be quite safe to abolish this tax altogether, and as it is one peculiarly odious to a free people, from the very nature of its imposition, we trust that Congress will be moved to relieve the nation of this now unne- cessary burden, This tax is not only odious to the people, burdensome and superfluous, but it is also pre-eminently demoralizing, and exposes common humanity to temptations too great for resistance, For all reasons the law upon which it is based should be repealed, Our It intimated that delay was particularly dan- the growing crops shall be destroyed and the island rendered desert by their own hands before they shall submit again to Spanish rule. But the excitement spoken of in Spain seems to arise from the apprehension that the American government will go further and recognize the belligerent rights or independ- ence of Cuba. And there is reason for this, even if our Minister at Madrid has intimated to the government there that such might be the case, Well, has not the United States a right to do this? Do not all nations act so in the case of civil wars when their interests, human- ity and State policy lead them to such a course? Has not Spain herself done #0? We might refer to the hasty recognition of our Southern States as belligerents by the Euro- pean Powers, of which Spain was one, and to many other cases ; but no argument is needed, Our goverament hag heqy mozg forbearing Acoountep For.—It has been long a puzzle to this community how it could possibly be that so many men consigned to the retirement of Sing Sing return to their special haunts within variable periods of a few weeks or months, when it was supposed they had been made eafe for years, Since we fiud our ami- able aushoritics had given the pardoning power to @ convict the facts are no longer and waited longer In the caso* of Cuba—yos, | incomprehensible. even against the sentiment and feeling of the American people—than is genorally the case Mexico Simmertna Dowy.—Our latest where national interests and policy are in- volved.

Ben Butler, and by the let- ters of Lady Anne Barnard and Lady Byron, furnished the London Times by Lord Lindsay (which we published yesterday), the mystery of Byron’s abrupt separation from his wife still rewains unsettled. What was the special cause of this separation? The Count Johannes says it was some taunting remark of Lady Byron touching ‘‘the devil's foot” of her husband; others say the cause was the cut- rageous demoralization of Lord Byron and his general badness. But still none of these expla- nations are conclusive. The lawyers repre- senting the interests of Lady Byron say that the Stowe explanation is not complete, in which they leave us to the inference that it may be partially true, Even in Lady Byron’s letter of 1818, supplied by Lord Lindsay, the reader's curiosity as to the real cause of the separation is rather intensified than satisfied, The mys- tery still remains unsolved. In this dilemma a certain Major Byron comes to the rescue. We published last Sunday week a statement from the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald to this effect :—That the writer, while at Barnum’s Hotel, St. Louis, in the fall of 1861, waa attracted by the name of George Gordon D. Luna Byron entered upon the register; that he was a man advanced in years and dressed in the uniform of a federal officer; that he bore a striking general resemblance to the portraits of Lord Byron; that he was one of the many foreign officers attached to Gene- ral Fremont’s command; that he said he was born in Spain and educated in England; that in undertaking to prosecute his claims as a Byron he was met by the family, provided a pension and sent off to the army in India; that during Lord Byron’s first visit to Spain his lordship met, loved and married a Catholic lady of good Spanish family; that the mar- riage was kept a secret, to be revealed only on his return to England; that the first beauty Byron met in Greece made him unfaithful to his Spanish bride ; that absence and forgetful- ness followed, and after his return to England Byron declared his intention of disavowing the marriage as void under the law of both Spain and England; that the secret was falth- fully kept, however, by the deserted wife, whom pride would not allow to prosecute a hopeless suit; that of this marriage a son was born, and that ‘‘Lady Byron, aware of her hus- band’s many infidelities, and insanely jealous of his sister, inan unfortunate hour discovered a portion of his correspondence with his Spanish wife,” and hence the separation from Lady Noel. Now if this story be true it is a per- fectly satisfactory solution of the mystery of the separation of Lord and the Eng- lish Lady Byron and of the silence of both parties as to the special cause. And why not true? This Major Byron in St. Louis in 1861 is represented as wonderfully familiar with the family history of Lord Byron and lady, and as possessing many interesting souvenirs, such as portraits, locks of hair, memoranda, &o., of Lord Byron. In support of this state- ment concerning Major Byron we published the other day a-communication from a person in this city with the additional facts that Major Byron is now in France, that he held the Hon. Mrs. Leigh in the highest esteem and never mentioned her but with the utmost reverence ; that the Major named his first child after her as a small mark of bis regard; that the Major's wife is still in this city and is the mother of six children, and ‘‘was well aware at the time she married the Major that he was then proseenting his claims to his birthright, and was acknow- ledged by most of the Byron famfly and the then existing contemporaries of his Mlustrious father.” We have only, in conclusion, to repeat that if this story is true it completely solves the mystery in question, and that now is the time for Major Byron to establish his rights and to settle conclusively and forever all doubts, conjectures, delusions and inventions touching the great cause of Lord and Lady Byron's separation, Anornger Case oF Mistaken IpeNtITY.— The most difficult of all knowledge is evidently to know “who's who.” Here in Broadway the other day the wrong man was shot, and now the wrong woman has been buried, Before this the wrong man has been hanged, too, and transported and kept in prison for a lifetime. In the infinite variety of Nature she does sometimes go so near to our exact phy- sical duplicate that common inspection cannot detect the difference. So the daughters of Mrs. McCaffrey now believe, having incurred a debt of two hundred dollars to bury a woman they supposed to be their mother, with the mother alive and well. Sprore PAYMENT..—Mr. Spinner, of the Treasury Department, apparently believes in a sort of Cerberus of resumption with three heads—the government, the banks and the people. He believes that the three “would be proof against any pressure” in the difficulties of a great financial crisis. But this only occurs in a letter, given elsewhere, which he has evidently penned to get rid of an editorial bore who has written @ tremendous article on resumption and wants Spinner to read it, Evropeans begin to call the question between Spain and the United States regard- ing Cuba “‘a difficulty,” and this is significant. All their relations with us, however, are apt to be difficulties for them. Castte §=GaRrpEN—ProtgctioN To Emt- GRANTS.—The Commissioners of Emigration have adopted and promulgated a budget of regulations intended to secure protection for emigrants at Castle Gardon, It would appear from the tenor of these “regulations” that the employ¢és of the Garden have not been very effective in the performance of their duties. For {gstance, intoxication and disobedience of orders, neglect of duty and absence from one’s post are set down as causes for dismissal in future, Courtesy and kindoess to emigrants are also enjoined, as well as respect to visitors, One might have thought that with the long experience of the Commigsioners all these @sirable points would have beep covered up long ago. The necesaily Jor issuing these reg- ulations at this late day would seem to imply that matters at Castle Garder were rather loosely managed heretofore. However, better late than never. If employés have been getting intoxicated, disobeying the orders of the super- intendent, absenting themselves from duty, ill- treating the emigrants and acting discour- teously to such visitors as have legitimate business on the premises, it is well that the Commissioners have taken measures to reform these abuses, The Spanish Throne—Still Another Candle date. We are told by cable telegrams that King Victor Emanuel of Italy has given his con- sent to the acceptance of the throne of Spain by his nephew Prince Thomas Albert Victor, Duke of Genoa, son of Prince Ferdinand of Savoy and his wife, the daughter of King Johan of Saxony, and again we hear that since Prim’s return to Madrid from Paris the Duke is not likely to meet the ap- proval of the Spaniards. This young gen- tleman was born in the year 1854 and is fourteen years old. It is proposed that during his minority, which will endure for the next two or three years, according to the new constitution the government of the country shall be conducted by a regency, composed of Montpensier, Serrano and Riverg. We are re- joiced to think that Spain is likely to settle the throne question. If the King of Italy has really taken the subject in hand it will most probably be settled. His Majesty is well aware of the advantages of dynastic extension, as his fore- fathers have almost always gained advantages by fishing in the troubled waters which sur- rounded them, And such an ancestry! Why, the Spaniards will be suited to the letter, and even the ancient Bourbons appear the veriest parvenus in their eyes when they come to trace the white-banded Savoyard to the fountain- head of his family, And where is the foun- tainhead? Away back with Umberto Blan- comano (Humbert the White Hand) in the year 1207, when receiving the land of the “county” of Savoy and the valley of Aosta, with other territory included, from the hands of Rudolph the Third, of Transjurane Bur- gundy, and Conrad the Second of Germany for services rendered in war. The descend- ants of Humbert have employed thelr swords in war pretty much ever since his day— now on one side and then on another— and have been ever fortunate in the obtain- ment of substantial rewards as the result until after the present King of Italy fought side by side with Napoleon the Third, when the account was footed on the other side, the King losing Savoy and Nice, the very cradle land of his race, Here it was like Scott's Dal- getty, and not at all like Humbert, It is » “running account,” however, and may be squared with Napoleon's sympathy in favor of the Duke of Genoa in Spain. A young Savoyard, read in the history ot his house, the Duke will not, most likely, be at all afraid to go to such a fine old fighting land, and it is probable that if Montpensier, Serrano, Rivero and the rest find a fixed monarchical rallying point they will endeavor to live in peace, The Emperor Napoleon will be friendly, and with Prince Napoleon it will be quite a family affair, as his wife is cousin to the Duke of Genoa; so he could have a “‘free run” of the Basque provinces and read just as much of the language and about the traditions of the people as he pleased. If, after the formal installation of the young King, home troubles should break out in Spain, why, the Emperor of France may be ‘“‘invited” to march his troops to the peninsula, so as to regulate the voting of a plebiscite, The Duke of Genoa appears thus as the coming man. Ono of hia most illustrious progenitors was King Emanuel Philibert, styled the Iron Head and “the prince with a hundred eyes.” That's just what's wanting in Spain to-day—an ‘‘iron head” and a “hundred eyes.” Tue Fat Borers, Tok BotouErs AND THE Boarp or Heartu,—It is said that a formid- able organization, called the ‘‘Butchers’ Asso- ciation,” threaten to defy the Board of Health in the matter of abolishing those horrid nui- -sances, fat boiling establishments, now existing within the limits of the city. The Butchers’ Association means money, and they promise to spend plenty of it in court suing out injuno- tions against the Board. No doubt they will get all the injunctions they want and the lawyers will get afl the money, which will be a very good thing for the lawyers. Meantime, we hope that these law proceedings will not stand in the way of the ordinance which com- pels all these detestable, evil smelling and sickening establishments to move out above 110th street by the Ist of next month. There may be people in authority who regard these fat boiling houses as very healthy and agreo- able to the nose, just as a certain official once insisted that the swill milk of stump tailed, diseased cows was most nutritious; but the public olfactories suggest a different opinion. It is desirable, therefore, that the Board of Health should be sustained in their effort to have the nuisance removed, Tux Loxpon ATHENa&UM hopes that Mra. Stowe did not receive pay for her Byron article. Mrs, Stowe’s Hartford organ replies that she did not—in a Pickwickian sense ; that is, she receives no specially superior price for it—nothing more than the ‘‘ regular terms” of the magazine publisher. Asthe regular terms are a pitiful compensation, just next to nothing, it may be set down that she was not paid, A Poutricat Katerposcors.—We call the attention of our readers to the copious extracts given to-day from our exchanges in regard to the political situation in certain prominent parts of the country, Coming directly from the home organs of the people, these reflections and views may be regarded for the time being as a kaleidoscopic display of the political situation in those sections, Prayep Ovr—The democratic pipe-laying game of Tweed against Belmont, Our small beer ward politicians had better give it up.

' Our Coming State Conventions. On Wednesday next the State Democratic Nominating Convention will meet at Syracuse. Tammany will send thereto some of its strongest representative men. It is more than probable that the new Regency has everything cut and dry for the prompt action of the Convention, 80 far as the offices are concerned. But there is a question far more important to the Regency and to the party than is involved in the mere distribution of offices, Specific action must be taken and a policy adopted with regard to the negro. On this question Tammany has been lagging behind the age in view of the new departure of the Southern democracy in favor of negro suffrage, the reconstruction acts of Congress and other kindred measures, Then comes the resolution of the Wisconsin demo~ cracy, breaking new ground and taking the wind out of the sails of any democratic party North that hopes to run on the old track of opposition to the negroes. As between the rival parties in this State, the probabilities are that there will be a preity closely contested fight fn the November elec- tion, The result will to a considerable extent depend on the way the Ohio and Pennsylvania elections will go off in October. On the great national questions involved the republicana will look for and receive the support of the ad- ministration—a support which they have not had since 1865, when Andrew Johnson commenced to throw the weight of his influence on the side of the democrats, With the powerful aid of President Grant and his administration, and with favorable results in the coming elections in Ohio and Pennsylva- nia, the democratic leaders of this city and State will abate somewhat of the exultation they at present feel in anticipation of a demo- cratic triumph in the November election. They will require all their strength and all their political resources to carry the State, and may fuil at that. In the week following the holding of the Democratic Convention at Syracuse the republicans of the State will hold their Conven- tion at Albany. We presume there will be no difficulty about either their nominations or their platform. The latter will simply be an endorsement of the action of Congress on the reconstruction, financial, retrenchment and foreign policy questions, a vote of confidence in the President and a pledge to support his: administration as at present conducted. Some- difficulty will no doubt be experienced in. reconciling the clashing and ridiculous cliques. and factions of the party in this city; but this: once effected all the rest will be plain sailing. It remains to be seen whether the lager beer and liquor questions will come up for promi- nent discussion and consideration before the’ Democratic Convention.
