Misccilancous. A number of Jewish rabbis from the principal cities of tho Union are in conference in Philadelpnia en the subject of reform in the Jewish Church, They adopied resolutions abolishing the use of prayers in the Hebrew tongue, as unintelligible to the maszes; disclaiming the doctrine of bodily re- @urrection or the removal of the Jewish state by a Begrogation from all other nations, and declaring the Aaronic priesthood, and the Mosaic sacrificial Worship to have been merely preparatory steps to Terael’s national priesthood and therefore things of ‘he past, to be mentioned in prayer only in their educational capacity and not to be practised. Judge Johnson, of the New York Supreme Court, yesterday filed his decision in the case of the Albany @nd Susquehanna Kaliroad Company. It requires aint the interest due on coupon bonds and vonds the receiver to pay tho current expenses of the road loaned the company, and authorizes him to receive @il balances due the company. He is forbidden to borrow money for the company without judiclal authority. Durmg the month of October the deposits in the Branch Mint at San Francisco were 89,000 ounces of gold and 67,000 ounces of silver, Japan furnished 22,000 ounces of the silver for recoinage.

General Walbridge addresved the President and expressed the sati-faction of the Convention at the course of the administrauon, and in his reply the Prosident took evcasion to say that he had no aspirations for a second term of oifice. ‘The tariff meu and Jree traders have already com- menoed interviewing the President in order to obtain his views on the tari@.

The elevated Railroad Company have beea delayed in their work recent!y by legal controversies and a lack of capital, but both diMculties have been sur- mounted and the work of extending the Greenwich street railroad to Thirtteth street is now being so diligently prosecuted that the company expect to have it finished that far by the end of next month, A case came before Judge Fithian yesterday to which Patrick O'Toole, a lad of eighteen, sued the managers of the House of Refuge for $10,000 dam- ages on account of bad treatment in keeping him in a close room on insuMcient food, in consequence of which he got the itch and became muoh debili- tated. The managers contend that there ts no cause for action, because children are sometimes abso- lately committed to their charge, and they are no more liable to a sult than a judge or jury in a civil action. The Judge reserved his decision, Madame Anna Bishop, the cantatrice, has returned to this city after a four years’ absenee, in which she has made a tour almost round the world and encoun- tered adventures as romantic as those encountered by Robinson Crusoe. Colonel Clarke, formerly of the Thirteenth (Brook- lyn) regiment, was before Commissioner Osborn yesterday charged with engraving plates for manu- facturing counterfeit currency.

The elections which have just taken place in the State of New York and other States, as well as the previous elections within the last few months, show that the democratic party slill holds 9 strong position in the country. They show, in fact, that, with all the blunders and short-sightedness of party managers, this old and once overwhelmingly powerful organ- ization continues to have great influence over the masses of people. The principles of the democracy, apart from the anti-war oopper- headism of a faction and the objectionable party machinery, are in harmony with the sentiment of the country. The record of the elections, as published yesterday and to-day in the HERALD, indicates this to beso. It is unnecessary to recapitulate the details or to make any argument here; the figures speak for themselves. Tho falling off of the vote in these local elections and the usual party re- criminations about corruption, ‘“‘repeaters” or false voting, one side or the other, amount to nothing. The significant fact that the demo- cratic party is stil strong and has a great hold upon the people stands out prominently in the result of the elections, Still the republican party remains in the ascendant, It has a large majority in both houses of Congress, a majority of the State Legislatures oud the administration, with the most popular man in the country for Presi- dent. Indeed, General Grant has been the saviour of the republican party. It was tho use of his great name that saved the party from defeat and dissolution, for it has no fundamental platform of principles to stand upon. The old anti-slavery and protectionist elements of Massachusetts politics have con- trolled the party, but the great West, from which it derives its real strength, doos not and cannot, from the nature of things, cordially act in concert with the protectionist radicals of New England, except from political considerations of party expediency for a time, There can be no permanent union between the people adhering at present to the republican party in the agricultural West, whose intorests favor a free trade policy, and the New England radicals, who are manufac- turers and in favor of protection, The Presi- dent is a Western man and in all his ideas and views affiliates with that section, He was chosen for his high office by the party, not because he was the representative of any principles of national policy, but because he was necessary to keep the republicans in power. The only platform they had to stand upon and the only one they dare venture to make was made up of the issues of the war. They resuscitated the dead past—the issues of the war—and had the sagacity to take Gen- eral Grant, the representative man of the war, as thoir candidate for the Presidency, Upon this alone, and not upon any principle of great Result of tho Political was seized by the English au- yh orea, lumber, &0., has national policy applicable to the present or the future condition of the country, they suc- Spey ae Fe Grant, his strength lies upon his splendid military record and the issyucs of the war. But this stato of things cannot last. Tho past cannot be evoked to gerve political partios forever, The peoplo become tired of that. There are great and living questions that must come prominently in the foreground, and it is upon theso that parties must be organized and exist hereafter. General Grant may make a record during his administration, and probably will, that must make him the candidate of the republican party for 1872, He may, in the economical administration of the government, in, closing up the Southern reconstruc- tion question, in placing the finances of the country on a good foundation, and in seltling the Cuban question so as to extend the area, grandeur and commerce of the republic, raise new issues for the next Presidential election, He may, in fact, make a platform for the republican party as well as for himself, and become the most formidable competitor for the Prosidential race on that side in 1872. The republican party has nothing to stand upon but General Grant, and therefore we con- clude he must be the Presidential standard bearer for the next term. How is it with the democratic party? It is, as we have remarked, still strong, With pro- per management there is a fair prospect before it, But it is ina critical situation. With all its strength it is on the eve of dissolution un- less it abandons past issues and adapts itself to the spirit and exigencies of the times. The late war weakened it, and has kept it out of power because it opposed popular opinion in the prosecution of the war, and has not acquiesced in the unalterable revolution pro- duced by that event. It is much in the same position as the old federal party was which opposed the war of 1812, The Hartford Con- vention and opposition to the war against Great Britain broke the federal party to piecos, After the second election of Monroe, in 1820, it ceased to exist, The consequence was that, there boing no regular organized parties in the residential election of 1824, it was a scrub race and resulted in the choice of Adams by the House of Representatives. In 1828 Jack- son was elected, and then were formed the democratic party and the national republican party which was afterwards known as the whig party. With varying fortunes, but mostly in power at the White House, the democrats ruled the country till the slavery {ssue mado Mr. Lincoln President in 1860 and brought on the war. Since that time they have neither had the administration nor any con- siderable party in Congress. They had some chance in the Presidential race of 1868, but they lost their opportunity by adhering to thoir old dogmas and not frankly accepting the issues of the war. They have one more chance left in 1872. If they fail then the party will follow inevitably the fate of the old federal party, and cease to exist, They must have a candidate capable of competing with General Grant both in his war record and upon the living issues of the day. Wo did think Chief Justico Chase was the man, and had he been nominated in 1868, instead of that old fossil, Seymour, he might possibly have been lected. But his day fs past. He ts worn out. The only one to nominate as a competitor with General Grant, who has a chance of success, appears to be General Thomas. His war record is scarcely less distinguished than that of General Grant. He won the first really great and important battle as well as the one most decisive of the war. He fsa man of splendid acquiroments, solid and large brain, a high-toned gentleman of irre- proachable character, and a Virginian who could probably carry the whole South, negroes and all, in a Presidential contest. Such a ticket as Thomas and Hancock for the demo- cratic party, with @ platform based on the living issues of the day, would be hard to beat even with General Grant as the opposing can- didate. What do the democrats say? Will they abandon their old party backs and dogmas and take up such a man as General Thomas for 1872? Or will they cling to their folly and idols and suffer the fate of the old foderal party? Thoy may learn wisdom, but looking to their history for the last eight or ten years wo have little hope for their future, Sue Brats BARNuM.—Mrs, Stowe is pos- sessed of the genius for advertising in an emi- nent degree. Her vampire assault on Byron's sister is comprehensible, now that she explains that she has a book in press relating to Byron. She wanted to make a grand preliminary ex- citement to attract attention to her book, and did not care what woman's good name might stand in the way. What must the world think of a moralist who thus deliberately sacrifices the reputation of another woman simply to put money in her own purse? Creatine Born Canpipatss.—According to Rufus Andrews, Benedict, the regular republi- can nominee for the Supreme Court, was driven to resignation by treachery in the house of his friends, and then, according Pi Spencer, Judge Clorke was deserted. Tam- many can afford to Inugh at such tactics. Count Bismarok has, says a Paris semi- offictal journal, ‘lost a great portion of his former influence in German politics.” Should this assertion prove true we fear that King William of Prussia is becoming indifferent to the glory of Sadowa, and that th Pope has overslaughed the great North German Premior in the matter of that new Berlin carpet for the Vatican, and that Napoleon knew all about it, which is, perhaps, the worst of all. Repustican Apatny.—Too many of the electionecring men of the party provided with snug offices were satisfled, while the disap- pointed office-seekera were indifferent, and so our rural districts were only indifferently stumped. Greeley’ worked like a beaver; but even a beaver can work only on one dam atatime, This may be cold comfort for the defeated party, but it is the best we have to give. Tag New Srate Constrrution has evidently failed, bob and lino, hook and sinker. If any part of it has been saved it is the judiciary article; but the statement of Charley Spencer of the republican bolt against it in this city throws some doubt over this article, As for nigger suffrage, it will be fixed in the fiftoonth ceeded, Nor has the party to-dey any plat- | amondmont to the pational conatitution. The Proposed Oggadian Pacific Rallway— A Hint to the Company. The Canadians have promulgated their acheme for a Pacific railway from Ottawa to Vancouver's Island. The length of the line will be eome twenty-five hundred milos and the capital is fixed at one hundred millions of dollars, For the present our neighbors might save a thousand miles in the building of this road by beginning at the west end of Lako Superior and running thence a connecting road with Lake Winnipeg, and thence by adopting steamboats to the head of navigation on the Saskatchewan. Under this plan tho short connecting line suggested would bring the great, fertile and beautiful basin of the Saskatchewan within easy roach of immigrants from the British islands and within some eight hundred miles or less of the Pacific coast. At the same time, with an attractive immigration policy on the part of the home government, all the cities of Great Britain might be profitably emptied of their surplus drones and paupers in the settlement of that beautiful Saskatchewan basin and in the building of this Pacifo road. In this matter her Majesty's government has been remarka- bly short-sighted ; for millions of its subjects are starving in England, while she has lands enough between the city of Ottawa and the Rocky Mountains for the com- fortable subsistence of a population greater than that of the United King- dom. If tho parties directly doncerned in this Canadian railway oan appreciate the value of this hint they will submit it to the consideration of Mr. Gladstone and John Bright ; for with the hint reduced to practice, as wo have found in our Pacifico road, a way traffic may be established in the building of this Canadian line which will more and more aid in its construction as the work goes on, and make it a great financial success from the day of its completion, We, on this side of the frontier, want to see this Canadian road pushed through, because, among other reasons, we know that from the new centres of population which it will establish we shall derive a good share of tho advantages, and because we foresee that in the future the road, with all ita tributary settlements, will be absorbed under the flag of the Union. Meantime the enterprise might be made a beautiful solution of the alarming question, How is England to provide for that great and still increasing mass of her home population, dependent upon the workhouse, beggary and crime? “Taffy Was a Welshman.” By patient and accurate inquiry man, ‘the servant and interproter of nature,” may get at the antecedents of evon the gypsum giant. It seems that when this fellow was overtaken by the accident of petrifaction he had about him some money coined in Wales. There is no question about the authenticity of the coin, for it has on it the inevitable “‘ap.” We need not inquire how the rogue came by this cash. All emigrants, the commissioners tell us, come with some coin, and Evan-ap-Gypsum was like the rest, But what we should like to know is how he carried it. Money supposes pockets and pocketbooks. Where are these? Hitherto we have found no fault with this giant for having been petrified in a stark naked condition, He seemed to be sucha very ancient chap that we thought he had come into the world and laid himself down in mineral water before man had acquired the prejudice of clothes, But when man begun to buy and sell he had discovered his nakedness and took pains to cover it. Therefore we refuse to accept a giant with money and nothing to carry it in. Give us his wallet, if it's only a petrified sow’s ear; or, if not that, at least his travelling money belt. In the absence of these we shall hold to the theory that the money was lost by the chaps who planted the giant. In fact, as the town in which he was found is called Cardiff, and as that neighborhood is extensively settled by Welsh, we don’t know that we need a better theory just now. Tae Reawrry Law.—The republicans are beginning to discover that the Registry law is a machine which is used by rogues at the polls, while it operates as an obstruction to honest voters. Perhaps the makers of the law may be ablo, with the help of the democrats, in the new Legislature to amend it or abolish it alto- gether. Something must be done for the pro- tection of honest voters, if nothing can be done to head off the rogues. Tur New Britisn Post Orriog Tatrarara System.—The firat surveys for telegraph extensions under the Post Office Telegraph acta of 1868 and 1869 are now taking place in Ireland. ‘‘Our telegraph lines,” says the Dublin Times, “are to be connected with the existing wires of the telegraph companies, and the whole is expected to be handed over to the Post Office authorities by the first of January.” As much of the extension work as possible will be completed by that date, and the general plans of the different companies amalgamated so that this great system of Post Office telegraphs will, it is believed, eventually embrace in cheap and efficlent telegraphic communication every money order office in the United Kingdom. We have frequently adverted to the prodigious advantages which must ultimately reoommend and {asure the adoption of a similar system in the United States, Tax Prosrgot or Rerorm at ALBANY— Pretty much the same as last year. Money makes the mare go, and where there is money even reformers can be bought, The morals of mon must be measured by the age in which they live—and this is the age of money, more than any other age since the flood. Men go to Albany, as they go to the gold diggings, to make money, and for something more than three dollars a day, We must take things as they come. 4 Just So.—A Dutchman once upon a time was asked how much a fat pig weighed that he had just butchered. Hoe answered, “It did not weigh as much as I expected, and I always knew it wouldn’t;” and he fought ‘‘mit Sigel.” A Canaptan Rawroap DrommEr.—The president of the Grand Trunk Railway of Oan- ada is ont in Missouri trying to arrange with the Western Hnes to carry grain to the Atlantic seaboard. Very good, If his competition with our American Unes prevents anpressive ; freights, all the better. Let the grain go by the cheapest route. But wo ‘suspect that if |. this grain did not have to. leave the United States and then re-enter it—thus crossing the frontier twice on its way to Portland—tho labor of the president would be easier. Wild Beasts for Italy—Compliments from Egypt. The Viceroy of Egypt has tendered a special and most peculiarly marked compliment to the King of Italy. His Highness a few days since placed his fine steamer Masz in complete order and despatohed her to the Mediterranean, the commander having in charge to deliver several decorations of the Medjidie to distinguished Persons at the court in Florence, and to pro- sent at the same time to Victor Emanuel eight fine horsea and several wild boasts. This appears at first sight to be a rather extraor- dinary blending of dignity, utility and danger; and that, too, in a manner likely to recall to mind many of the most remarkable and excit- ing events narrated in the most hoary histories of the East, The medals and ribbons we understand easily as tokens of a fraternal sovereignty, The horses can be explained on the ground that King Victor Emanuel pays great attention to his stud, that he has anample and excellently well regulated one, that he is a first rate horseman, and that the Egyptian steeds will be quite at home in his stables, as he already tnaintaing an Arab groom, turbaned and on suite in his ménage. We are puzzled, how- ever, about the wild beasts, Are they really still wild or only partially tamed, and if so aro they intended merely for exhibition in the zoological garden at Florence, or for a more direct and really alarming purpose? Has the King appealed to the Viceroy in the matter of the rapidly approaching events of the Papal Council and the threatened bull of excom- munication against him and obtained the ‘‘wild beasts”—royal tigers and lions we presume— with the intent of slipping them sud- denly on the assembled prelates of the Church and thus oausing them to “break up” in @ hurry and adjourn sine die? It may be so, a8 we live in an era when recourse is had daily to the most extraordinary agencies—‘‘gold rings,” ‘‘poli- tical rings,” stone giants and specie from Wales—to effect certain purposes of gain, ambition or surprise, King Victor Emanuel is well read in everything relating to Danicl and how pleasantly he fared with lions, and as his Majesty ranks in the “Index Expurga- torious"” as a pretty prominent doubter in church matters it may be that he proposes to try if the faith of the prophet still lives in the Church as it did at that time, in the period of the wild beasts at Ephesus, or the moment of the martyr struggles of the early Christians in the Roman Coliseum. A most extraordinary revolution, both in public sentiment and matters of faith, is pro- gressing in the Old World. The mind of the millions is turning to the East. The Empross of France has had homage on foot from the Sultan of Turkey, visited the harem, attended mags and patronized Catholic schools in Con- stantinople, She is determined to pioneer the revolutionary current of travel and trade through the Suez Canal; the male crowned heads are journeying towards the land of the Pharaohs; mitred patriarchs are moving from the East towards Rome; princes are ambi- tious to sit amid the “bricks of Nineveh ;” the telegraph is coiling the eastern peoples in one and resurrecting the great mind which has never really died in these old lands. 80, por- haps, is the King of Italy about to return toa first principle and test the faith of the modern holy Job failed not in hope, when Daniel felt fo fear, and when their more immediate pre- decessors were assured that they ‘‘could walk on the waters” if they only possessed faith. King Victor Emanuel is just the man to apply an original crucial test, and the ‘‘wild beasts” may, therefore, be very useful and in place near Florence. The Viceroy of Egypt is both thou ghtful and courteous, Republican Sentiment Spain—Our Spe- cial Correspondence. Our columns were enriched yesterday by the fullest and most exhaustive letters which have yet appeared, perhaps, in any jour- nal, cither in the Old World or the New, re- garding the outburst in Saragossa. Since the Abyssinian war, when the New York HgRALD wasa thousand miles ahead of all other jour- nals on cither Continent, we have had no such letters as those which have given us a detailed account of the heroic and henceforth memora- ble struggle of the people of Saragossa. Not to dwell on the merits of the letters, we look upon the news they convey, and, indeed, upon all our latest news, as proof positive that there is a republican clement widely diffused over Spain which cannot much longer be kept down. All the recent risings have been republican, In Barcelona, in Malaga, in Valencia, the voice that has been heard is the voice of the republic. The same voice would have been heard at Madrid, and as loudly, but for the centralized strength of the army. The risings have been put down all over the kingdom, but the spirit which created and gave them force remains; and notwithstanding the great strength of Prim the republican element, against which he has very unnecessarily com- mitted himself, must at no distant day burst forth with new and redoubled energy. The placing upon the throne of the Duke of Genoa will not pacify the republicans, while it may ruin the monarchy. Spain is not in the condi- tion in which England was when she invited to the throne William of Orange, or in the con- dition of Belgium when she gave her crown to Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, or in the condition of Greece when she crowned Prince Otho. or Prince George. With but one or two excep- tions—and the exceptions are becoming every year loss and less possible—foreign princes have proved failures, We write strongly, but not too strongly, when we state that Spain has no crown to offor. Repgatgrs.—Some twenty persons are in custody or under bail bonds charged with attempting to register and vote illegally. By keeping these cases in sight the press may secure an enforcement of the penalties, and such enforcement will have a salutary effect, perhaps, for the future. CONSOLATION FOR GREELEY.—It might “ave been wors® Never despair. Better luck, perhaps, next tag. The election of State and county officers in tho struggle of Tuesday was a matter of come parative indifference, because the results were protty clearly understood. The voters who fought with Sigel and drank water with Greeley: are nowhere. The democratic ticket held tha field against all odds. In this ofty Tam- many was the great “I Am,” and P. B. Swoeny was his prophet. Therefore Tam- many carried everything before it, The out- siders made no show at all. They went dowa like the cohorts of Sennacherib before the blast of the Tammany trumpet, But there is more interest concentrated upon the Legislature, The balance of power there is all important to the interests of the State, because it involves the future existence or the immediate extinction of the different com- « missions which are now governing this city and Brooklyn, besides controlling the Speaker= ship and the committees of the Assembly. Hence popular interest centres upon tho Legislature. Woe give to-day a full list of the members elected to both houses according to latest reports.

We trust that the Rhind-Hamilton controversy will not lead to ‘‘pistols and coffee for two.” “Paris 18 TRANQUIL,” but “a great crowd is assembled at Montmartre,” andthe police are held in readiness, That is, thorefore, a rather uneasy tranquillity—a slumber that covers the nightmare, AMUSEMENTS. TAMMANY.—An entertainment of the usual varied character 1s offered this week at the renovated Wige wam, and of such merit that the theatre has been crowded every night since the week opened. The main attraction 1s offered by the Hanlon Brothers, who, after a somewhat long absence from this city, made their reappearance at this theatre on Monday night, The brothers Alfred and Frederick Hanton, assisted by a young boy namod “Little Bob,” appoar in what the brothers choose to call thelr “Great Act,” This performance 1s too complicated to make it feasible to give anything like a fair description of it, Itigof the trapeze order and requires consid- erable skill and great nerve for its performance, and consists mainly of throwing the boy a distance of some thirty-five feet from one brother to another while upon a trapeze erected within a few feet of the ceiling of the house. In the course of the transit through the air the boy throws somersauits and turns compietely round, The performance ig intensely exciting, but no dal oF accident seems to exist, as a strong net ie terete ed under the trapeze suiliciently near to provent the posaibility of the boy bein, yer In addition to the act the Hanlons appear in a daring entertainment. Several good ballets are introduced into the pro» amme under the supermtendence of the Laurl Eoupe: Professor French exhibits his trained dogs, Professor Sylvester gives @ shadow pantomime, and the performance wiuds up with a balie: aciion. STEINWAY HALL—“MANFRED."—Everything oon- sidered, there was a fair attendance at Steinway Hall last evening, the occasion being the recitation of Byron’s poem, “Manfred,” by Mr. W. H. Pope, with original music by Mr. George W. Morgan. To be sure, Mrs. Stowe’s quaint and problematical reve lations contributed somewhat to augment the num- bers congregated at the hall, “Manfred” and the jady’s announcement being comparatively specu- Inuives ‘but apart from the curiosity that attracted go large an attendance, the recitation aud the organ performance agreeably repaid a visit. Mr. Pope, & young actor of great promise, comprehensivences and undoubted ability, acquitted himself very credite ably, and although at times somewhat overstrained and, perhaps, a little too “stagey” as a reader, ho bevertcloss created a favorable itipression. ‘Man- fred on the Mountains’? was very clearly recited, but the taient and artistic skill of Mr. Pope were dis- Played to greater advautage in leas demonstrative Passages. Altogether, Mr. Popo, undertaking a3 he did a heavy task, fully merited the approbation be- stowed upon his courageous effort, ‘Tne appropriate music furnished by Mr. Morgan wes thorough! ap py. and gave an additional charm to Mr, ‘Opes SUCCESS, Musical and Theatrical Note>.
