The decline yesterday is only enother lesson to those who think the high road to wealth lies through Wall street. Maxt Taz Pay.—Suits have been ordered by the Treasury Department against thirty ex- collectors of internal revenue for a gross amount of nearly three million dollars. Much of this, it is said, is for uncollected taxes, the lists of which the collectors in question have turned over to their successors in office. This will make a precedent that the officials must either collect the taxes or pay them themselves.

NEW YORK HERALD TUESDAY, The Settlement at Last. Our nows this morning regarding the Iberian Peninsula is full of interest. A cable despatch from Paris has it that letters from Madrid con- firm previous reports to the effect that Prim and Saldanha have an understanding and that the understanding points to an Iberian union, Such is the news. If the news is true it is good, If itis not true we must still eay it is the best thing that can possibly happen on the Peninsula. We have no means of knowing what is the value of an arranzement come to by Prim and Saldanha, or whether there is any such arrangement. This, however, we do kaow: that an Iberian union is the one thing most likely to settle the Spanish throne question and to give peace and prosperity to the Peninsula, For a time it was our opinion that Napoleon might do well to place himselt at the head of the Latin races. If Italy and Spain and Portugal could agree to make up their own differences and then jointly to make up their difiyrences with France, no better arrangement than a grand Latin union could be conceived. The march of events has not encouraged us in the belief that any such union is immediately practicable. Mexico, somehow, spoiled our dream, A Latin union for the present is not practicable. In the interests of humanity and civilization, in the high sense, it is not even desirable. But an Iberian union, though a lesser triumph, points in the same high direction. We have no choice, therefore, but to give it our hearty encouragement, Such a union would be a good thing for Spain, a good thing for Portu- gal, a good thing for the so-called Latin races, and a good thing for modern progress. Ifa union of the whole Latin family is not now possible, a union of certain subordinate sec- tions of that family is at least hopeful and full of encouragement. We look upon the present union movement in the Iberian Peninsula from the point of view thus indicated. We wish to see the peoples uniting. We wish to see national bar- riers breaking down, prejudices yielding, and languages ceasing to act as dividing forces. We wish to see not only the union of nations, but of races, and, indeed, of the whole human family. Every barrier that is broken down, every prejudice that yields, every dividing force that loses its energy, is a gain to civilization. For these reasons we some time since rejoiced in the successes of Prussia, because they pointed to the unification of Ger- many. For the same reasons we encouraged Napoleon to put himself at the head of the Latin races. And later, for these same rea- sons, when Spain was experiencing her first dfficulty in filling the vacant throne of Isa- belia and when her eyes were momentarily turned to Portugal, we advised Prim and the rest of them to follow the example of the Eug- lish people, who, on the occasion of the death of Elizabeth, inviied King James of Scotland to London and thus harmoniously and happily made Scotland and Eagland one. We are not ixnorant of the fact that it was difficult then to take our advice. Spain was not prepared, and Portugal was not ready. Now, however, after a year and many odd months, Spain still begs fora king. Tae princes of Europe will not have the crowa. Spain has come down so low as to offer the crown to her own subjects, but even they object. Espartero does not care for it, and Serrano is sick of his empty honors. It has always been a matter of surprise to us that Portugal did not catch the conta- gion of revolution from her neighbor. It now appears that our was not wholly without reason. If our news proves to be correct there has been a quiet understand- ing between a powerful party in Portugal and the leaders of the Spanish revolution. Aé all events this does appear: Prim has been in correspondence with Saldanha, This also is undeniab'e: the Iberian question, through the Spenish revoluzion, has reached a point which offers a solution of all existing trouble in the Peninsula. The settloment of the Spanish throne ques- tion is now, in our judgment, made easy. The King of Portugal is a young and highly re- spectable sovereign. With the materials at his command he has governed wisely and well. Spain cannot do better than offer him ; the double crown. Luis can reign as well in Madrid as in Lisbon; and if Portugal becomes a second Scotland and Lisbon a» second Edin- | burg neither Spain nor Portugal will have any cause of complaint. The union of the two kingdoms in the Peninsula has become a ne- cessity, and a better opportunity than that which now promises to offer itself will never be presented. Divided, the Ibevian Peninsula is weak. United, Spain and Portugal would be a force in the modern world. If Spain is wise she wiil offer her despised crown to King Luis of Poriugal. surprise THe OUBANS IN THE Fratp.—We publish oa another page an interesting description of the progress of the Cuban revolution. The ac- count is from a gentleman who has had ample facilities for judging by personal observation of the prospects for the success or failure of the revolution. Fora time he was with the insurgents, and is, therefore, in a position to inform us pretty clearly of how and where they live and their manaer of conducting the cam- i Oar informant also explains the manu- ure of the so-called ‘Spanish victories” which since the outbreak of the rebellion at Yara we have been accustomed to hear of on an average of twice each week. Why the Cubans will not fight is accounted for in avery satisfactory manner, and their judgment is certainly not in error in the adoption of such a course, all things considered. FreepomM oF Conxscrence IN ENG@LAND.— University tests (religious) in Great Britain was debated at its second reading in the Bri- tish House of Commons yesterday. Messrs. Newdegate, Walpole and Mowbray opposed it warmly, The measure passed the second majority of 125 notwithstanding. Looks bad Nor Quire Esover.—And now the cry is raised by the Jesuitical daily which shines for ing, either for honor or profit, and it is uttered | a8 a reproach that we do not make an Irish- man either Mayor or Governor. So the public may make up its mind that these places are wanted also for some new cousins from the old god. va Neen eer IEEE Spanish Throne~A Prospect, ef =| The Fifteenth Amendment—A Genoral Eloc- tle Law from Congress. : The bill which has passed the United States Senate to enforce the fifteenth amendmnsnt is a bill to protect honest voters and to punish per- jurers, repeaters, ballot staffers and forgers in our political elections, It is a good bill for honest men, but a bad thing for knaves. Some general law of this sort from Congress is very much neoded, and especially for the restoration of passably honest elections in this city. From all that we have heard of it our late election on this island was a grim joke, and an amusing farce to the repeaters from beginning to end. According to the free and easy sys- tem of this election the democracy have only to say the word to the repeaters, and they can roll up any majority in this city that may be called for to carry the State, and we believe that even honest republicans consented to this repeating in order to make up a clear case for Congress. At all events, so notorious is it that our metropolitan elections have fallen into the con- trol. of gangs of repeaters, and so notorious is it, too, that our Siate laws and city ordinances, by general consent, are disregarded and treated with derision and contempt, that only a United States law and the national authorities in its enforcement are competent to reach and remedy this demoralizing state of things. The New York republicans are so bewildered by our elections of the last three years, and 80 corrupted and demoralized, that they are powerless to help themselves; while the demo- crats are very naturally satisfied with a sys- tem which still increases their majorities. Nor are these election frauds limited to this city or the democratic party. The party which has the power and the machinery in this State or that State, here or elsewhere, no longer scruples at any means whereby an election may be carried. Here it happens that the ma- terials, the appliances and the temptations for fraudulent practices being most abundant, these practices are more glaringly developed than anywhere else. It is only the old story, that “where the carcase is there will the vul- tures be gathered together ;” or where millions of spoils are involved thousands of votes may be manufactured. A general law of Congress and the United States authorities to enforce it, embracing the President and the exercise of his power to call in the army and navy when necessary to cute the law, will, we believe, be a good thing for the whole country. As for State sovereignty, that absurdity went down with the rebellion, and as for Siate rights, they will not be damaged or endangered by a national law providing the ways and means for enforcing the simple rule of honesty in our political elec- tions. Railroads and telegraphs, indeed, have brought the remotest States of the Union so near to the common centre, and have so inter- woven all the Siates with each other, that nothing but the general regulation of our elec- tions by some uniform law of Congress will preserve to the people that great power of last resort which they hold in the elective fran- \ chise. As our cities and States, too, become more and more densely populated we see that the ne ity of a general law for the regula- tion of our elections more and more increases, We live in « new age of steam and tele- graphs, a new age of concentration of thought and centralization of material and moral forces, and the action of our national govern- ment must be shaped to meet this new order of things. We are no longer and can be no more a loose confederation of discordant States, but we are a nation of States, the com- mon sovereignty over which lies in the people and in their representatives in Congress. An Ivfernal Crime. The crime charged against a man named Lange, a dealer in picture frames in this city, is one that should give him a pre-eminence in the criminal catalogue for diabolical intent. He shipped a box in April last on the New Orleans steamer and secured an insurance on it of one thousand six hundred and fifty dol- lars, and the box proved to have been pre- pared with explosive and inflammable material, and was only prevented from burning the ship by the watchfulness and activity of the cap- a In the box were vessels of alcohol, | gasoline and turpentine, and fire was appar- | ently to have been set to these by a chemical | that would explode with slight friction. The | friction was provided for by mice shut in a box, who, in gnawing their way out, were to | fire the train that might have destroyed the | ship and all her company at sea. Here, then, is, if the charge prove true, a man who delib- | erately contrives that awful calamity, fire, on | a ship at sea—contrives the possible frightful | death of tweaty or thirty persons—to secure | the small prize of sixteen hundred dollars in- | surance money. He should be tried by a jury ; of sea captains and sailors. It isa remarkable coincidence that this crime was attempted | against the steamer George Washington, while some years sinc the same nature acrime of was contrived in the shipment of goods on the Mississippi steamer Martha Washington. “No lus Neep Apri ‘The San Fran- cisco Monitor, organ of the Irish adopted citi- zens in Qulifornia, has taken a list of the county and city officers of San Francisco, with the nativity or birthplace of each man. From | this it appears that of the one hundred and | twenty officers in San Francisco city and | county there are only ten Irishmen. The I Monitor claims that if the Irish had the pro- | portion of the offices their numbers entitle | them to they would certainly have between , one-third and one-half instead of less than a } twentieth. Unlike the democracy of New } York, it is intimated that in the ranks of the | party in California there exists an element hostile to the Irish which keeps them down. This is certainly an anomalous condition of things for the democracy anywhere. But per- | haps the California democrats are looking after | Johnny Coolie and letting honest Pat go by the board. They had better stick to Pat. Prestpent Geant still firmly believes in the St. Domingo treaty, and will soon send to the Senate an additional article of the treaty, ex- tending the time for closing the stipulations, and a statement giving in some sort the views of the government in regard to the matter. The President would do well to give a full statement regarding the views of the govern- ment, as the treaty is one of the most impor- tant of administration measures, and will only gain friends by a thorough ventilation. | count of being henpecked ? India Cotton and the Mediterrancas Ports. _ The Suez Canal, so long decried, begins at length, even after but a few months of regular service, to reveal its immense utility. As tele- grams from London now frankly admit, one- half of the cotton that is sent from India to Europe already passes through that new channel of trade. Weeks ago we had occa- sion to note the wonderfal rapidity of the transit by which the raw material from Bom- bay reached Liverpool via Suez, was manu- factured into cloth and was reshipped for the return trip within the lapse of forty days from its first embarkation, But now appears another remarkable feature in this surprising change, By the admission of the British mer- chants themselves not one-half of this cotton now goes all the way to England, but is taken up and consumed en route at the Mediterra- nean ports, We feel safe in suggesting that the Adriatic cities Ancona, Venice and Trieste also come in for a goodly share. The Italian and Austrian merchants were in the ficld at the first moment, and have established regular lines of trading steamers between their ports and the Egyptian entrepét at the mouth of the canal. The Italians, particularly, are exhibiting-unex- pected enterprise in this matter, and the new- born activity of their manufactures may be in- ferred from their ready and large consumption of the raw material. Palermo, Naples, Leg- horn and Genoa are regaining their old pros- perity and energy, and thus we see commerce and industry going hand in hand with science and free institutions. In a word, the projectors of the Suez Canal wrought even better than they knew, and henceforth, whatever may be the difficulty and expense of keeping this great water highway of the East clear of the desert sand, the golden profits of the splendid new trade that it creates can well afford » percentage for the purpose. When the ship canal across the Italian Penin- sula, now taleed of by engineers, shall have been carried through, and the Mont Conis tunnel completed, as it will be in another twelvemonth should no fresh turmoil in Europe arrest their operations, we shall behold the Levant, the Mediterranean and the Adri- atic swarming with busy steamers, and the whole East on fire with the life-giving and not destroying flame of modern progress. The Universal Evangelical Council in New Work. Our cable telegrams from Europe indicate that the religions and Christian mind of the Old World is being directed still more devoutly towards New York. The Lord Mayor of London presided over a meeting in the Man- sion House yesterday, at which action was taken with regard to sending a British deputa- tion to the World’s Evangelical Council which is to be held in New York. The assemblage was brilliant, devout and fervent in expression. A delegation will be sent to New York to speak in the name of the Church of Great Britain. This assemblage will take the “shine” off the Papal Council completely. It will be a World’s Church Council, not a Council of the Vatican, and held in New York instead of Rome. Had Pope Pius IX. attended to the advice of the Hrraxp, and held his Ecumenical Council in this city first, he would have ‘headed off” the opposition evangelists to some ex- tent. His Holiness is too late now. The Old World evangelists will come and deink at the New World fount and centre of inspiration, and return from this city to refresh religion in Europe, Asia and Africa, The delegates will slake their pions thirst in the consecrated wells of the island of Manhattan—‘‘the holy wells, the aged, yet fresk and pure”—and then proclaim to the regenerated old lands: ‘A thousand ages rolled away and still these founts endure.” The Pope made a grand mistake in clinging so pertinaciously to Rome. “Tur Boor ox tHE Orner Lea.”—Recently a wife belonging to one of the upper crust families in a town in Lowa sued tor a divorce from her husband, alleging cruel ill-treatment, &e. On the trial it appeared that the boot was entirely on the other leg, and that if either were en- titled to a divorce it was the husband, who was in reality the outraged party. The appli- cation of the wife was thereupon refused. Would it not present a novel state of society if it were possible to procure and publish a list of wives abused by their husbands and the | number of husbands who are henpecked and otherwise maltreated by their wives? Wao ever heard of a man claiming a divorce on ac- And yet, from all accounts, the henpecked husband suffers the most excruciating domestic tyranny conceiv- able. And it is precisely in these upper crust circles, a8 we find in this Western divorce case, that these instances of donfestic infelicity occur—especially if the husband be a poor, im- pecunious fellow and the wife a rich heiress, A “Hrarruy” Caxpwate For a County Juver.—The Portland (Oregon) Herald, hav- ing endorsed the claims of one J, Henry Smith as the democratic candidate for Judge of Mult- nomah county, the Daily Oregonian (repub- lican) wants the Herald to furnish its readers with an account of J. Henry's trip to San | Francisco in 1863 to see a ‘Dr. Brown,” stat- | ing fully the facts about the fifty thousand | dollars to be obtained of “Dr Brown” and to be used in Oregon to earry the State out of the Union and into the ‘‘Pacifle republic” | ; scheme. There are probably many other as- pirants for public office on the Pacific slope be- | sides this ‘J. Henry Smith” who engaged in the treasonable project of erecting a ‘Pacific re- public” when the Union most needed friends and -eoldiers,. Their names ought to be pil- loried and their political career punctnated by full stops. Brienam Younes, even with the number of wives he has, is not afraid. He has chal- lenged Dr. Newman, of Washington, to deliver a sermon against polygamy in the Mormon Temple at Salt Lake City, and promises him an attentive and orderly congregation. Dr. Newman has accepted, and will go there in August... The whole need not a physician, and why shonld he preach against polygamy in Washington, where there are no polygamists, when he can go to Salt Lake and catch a whole temple full of avowed and haughty sinners at the firat preaching?

Congres:—The Fifteenth Amendmont and the Diplomatic pprepriation Bill. The fifteenth amendment, which we warned Senators some time azo was being killed by too much nursing, had its first symptoms of trouble in the Senate yesterday, Mr. Casserly, on a motion of privilege, claimed that the seo- tion alluding to the rights of Chinamen had not been adopted in the bill to enforce the amend- ment as passed in the Senateon Friday, Some debate ensued on this, but the Chair decided that the section had been passed with the rest of the bill, and that John Chinaman was as good as the darky. The Legislative Appro- priation bill was discussed at length, and the women advocates received a rebuff in the most praiseworthy element of the woman question—that of equal wages with men for equal work, An amendment to give female clerks in the departments as much money for their work as if they were males was rejected by a vote of six to thirty-eight. In the House, among a number of other matters, a motion was made to suspend the rules in order to put on its passage the bill for an air line railroad from Washington to New York; but the motion was rojected. A similar motion in regard to a reduction of im- port duties on coffee, tea, pig iron and other articles was served in the same way. The Army Appropriation. bill, which appro- priates nearly thirty million dollars, was introduced and made a special order for to-morrow. But the House did not feel in- clined to do much of anything op account of its restless anxiety to get at that exciting topic—the Diplomatic Appropriation bill, It went at it early and pitched first on the Roman bone of contention. Mr. Dawes, in order to explain his remarks about Mr. Brooks’ alleged Know Nothingism, had a clerk read a number of extracts from speeches made by that gentle- man during the Know Nothing excitement; but Mr. Brooks explained all these things away so smoothly that no one with any belief whatever id the Surity of the human Face could bear him without feeling a profound conviction that Mr. Brooks was a slandered martyr. He mede all those speeches, he said, out of regard for Millard Fillmore. Mr. Dawes, on hearing this, retracted every- thing he had said, extracts included, and made the amende honorable, whereupon good feeling was restored. Tien Mr. Degener, a German from Texas, rose and protested against Mr, Voorhees’ slanzy mode of inti- mating that the ‘‘Dutch” vote could be manipu- lated. A very dignifled explanation, too, Mr. Degener made, but he must have become mud- dled in the midst of it or allowed his indigna- tion against Mr. Voorhees to include the whole United States, for in protesting against inde- cent languaze in the House ho said he looked upon Congress asthe drawing room of the nation—a simile which, followed ont, would imply that the nation kopt a very disorderiy house. Another German, Mr. Finkelnbarg, followed Mr. Dogener in ao similar vein, and then Mr. Cox, who is almost as good as Mr. Batler in the comic line, suggested that Mungen, of Obio, address the Housv in Ger- man. Business was resumed on this being objected to, and the motion to accredit a Mia- ister Resident at Rome was rejected. Appro- priations, however, were made for Ministers Resident at Hayti, Uraguay and Paraguay. The Louisiana election case was concluded and Mr, Newsham was sworn in without much trouble. Thereupon the House, which has felt all along a little ashamed of this Louisiana business, adjourned, A New Oxper or Panui Turrves,— *“Anonyma,” that wonderfal enchantress who, in London, has turned the heads of all the young men, taken them away from the less piquant society of young ladies of good char- acter, and, in sort, is accused of undermining what little morality is left ihere, has found a formidable rival. Some men have been arrested at the theatre disguised as women, whose houses, upon examination, proved to be grand reservoirs of women’s wearing apparel, perfect arsenals of the weapons with which women make war upon men, from dimity caps to bewildering forests of flounces. These fel- lows were doubtless thieves who simulated the charms of tle sex to inveigie the victins whom they had picked out for plunder. In fact, they were playing something rather larger than the “panel game,” but not altogether unlike it, Perhaps the exposure of their operations may benefit London morality ; for who wilk be led astray by Anonyma when she may at any moment turn ont to be a strapping rascal dis- guised for robbery ? Ovr Evrorran Dzsraronzs By Mat.— The Huropean mail of the 10ta of May was delivered at the Meratp Building yesterday morning. Our special correspondence trou Paris published to-day is of quite an important character. The writer exposes the designs which were entertained by the French radicals and ‘‘Reds” n_ their opposition to tie plebiscitum, He shows that they contemplated and had arranged for a revolution, entirely regardless of the consequences. It is made patent, aiso, by our special letter, that the French people— the industry, education, morals, finance and capital of the millions—were directly opposed to disorganizers, and hence the triumph of the | preseat Bonaparte dynasty as the executive ex- | emplar of law and order, Our European mail budget supplies also other interesting details of our cable news telegrams of the above date.
