Why don’t some philosopher try the experiment? The machines are said to work dmirably in Paris. But if the cool tempera- e of the past few days continues much longer the ice monopolists will be obliged to Pome down in their exorbitant prices and the foanufactured article be regarded simply as an interesting novelty. Mr. AKERMAN, the new Attorney General, esterday topk his oath of office before Asso- ‘biate Justice Wiley, of the District of Colum- pia. At twelve o'clock he attended a meeting ‘of the Cabinet. This is the first time for many Years that a Southerner has beenfound among the President's counsellors. We cannot but in- ‘Qnige the hope that Mr. Akerman's presence dn the Cabinet will mark o new era in Presi- dent Grant’s administration and restore those fraternal sentiments and interests so un- happily severed by the rebellion. Carryine THE Joke A LittiE Too Far.~ The letter recently published in the Heraty from J, W. Smith, the colored cadet at West Point, touching the personal insults ‘heaped ‘upon him” by the white cadets of that institu- tion, is creating more noise than we suppose they bargained for. White prejudice against the African may be excused; but if Smith's feport of its manifestations at West Point is true the guilty parties have made a poor be- ginning in their studies to become professional poldiers. | Lerma Hinserr Down Easy.—The editor the Mobile Register, in announcing the sus- n of his paper the day after the Fourth, ys he does not do so “in honor of a day glorious memories have been trampled the dust by political vandals,” but for the ‘purpose of “giving aday of necessary rest to is falthful employés.” Well, it don’t make tiuch Gifference, perhaps, #0 long as ‘‘the ‘boys” have @ holiday, But isn’t the excnse w rather roundabout way of acknowledging the glorious anniversary et all? In other words, an easy way for the editor of the }/ logister to let himself down easy from his Meigh percd of Southern ultraism? Republican Party. There seems to be a purpose in the republi- can party to belittle the administration of Gen- eral Grant, as if the politicians were anxious to kill him off in the interest of some one of their number, and measured their acts more by that thought than by any consideration of the national advantage of lending o hearty, honest support to the Executive in the dis- charge of its duties. At the beginning of his Presidency Grant certainly had some grand ideas of the relations of the republic to its neighbors and to the world at large, and was in full sympathy with every truly American pur- pose and every honorable tradition of our his- tory. He was a true type of the people in the unpretentious energy with which he stood ready to assert the rights, the dignities and the better destinies of the nation. It cannot have been forgotten with what electric enthu- siasm the people accepted his opinion of the attitude of France in Mexico at the close of our war as the best utterance of the general thought. It is equally well known that his views in regard to the necessity of making good the Alabama claims against England were not qualified by the timorous thought that weighs the issue of a contest involving the national honor, Nor can we doubt that Cuba would now be free if the President had acted from his own sense of what is just and right on our part. But yet, with a President at the head of the nation who thus takes a large and far-sighted view of national affairs, it is not to be denied that our national councils and conduct are reduced to the smallest consideration of the smallest topics, and that while in Europe we see the statesmen of each nation taking always a con- tinental view of every topic that comes up, here all diseussion is reduced to the level of ward politics, and all expediency is measured by the standards of the ward politicians. What is the reason of this? It is because the line of conduct that General Grant laid down for himself in his inaugural, and to which he rigidly adheres, involves a mon- strous mistake, and the politicians take advan- tage of that mistake. Grant declared that he would have no policy as distinguished from the policy of Congress. Now the fact is Con- gtess has no policy at all, or rather the policy of Congress is that each representative endeavors to secure the greatest number of fat places for his constituents, political sup- porters and personal relatives. That is the policy of Congress, and has been from time immemorial, and will be so long as Sena- tors and Representatives are chosen, From the nature of the case the individual repre- sentative is a small man. It is his funetion to know what Buncombe connty thinks, and he weighs the whole world on the Bun- combe county scales. If one should ask his opinion of the Alabama claims the answer would be that Buncombsa county wanis Jones to have a good Post Office. It is, therefore, exactly because the national policy is accepted from this sort of inspiration that the national councils are pitiful with the spirit of ward politics.. It is a mischievous error to suppose that the Executive must thus put itself in leading strings to Congress and control its course by all the small clamor and mean dispute that Congressmen suppose to be the current of political wisdom. The Execu- tive, also, is representative—only it represents no part but the harmonized whole. It is not supposed to know the little grievances out of which small cliques draw sustenance, but to give effect only to the wise purpose that flows from an enlarged view of every case. General Grant will be recreant to his high trust if in his hands the Executive is reduced toa meaner function. It will be drawing very left-handed wisdom from the errors of Andrew Johnson if the fear of collision with Con- gress—the fear of having a policy—shall sub- stitute the small local view of every question for that which is large and national. Congress, also, may be wrong, and when it is collision with Congress may be the President's duty. It is clear that just now Congress is politically an assemblage of cliques, and these cliques each assume to control the Executive on some special subject, from the annexation of St. Domingo to the appointment of a Collector for the port’of New York. These cliques must be broken down or the administration will become ridiculous in the eyes of the people, and the now dominant republican party will split into fifty factions with fifty Presidential candidates. Andrew Johnson differed with Congress, and the disastrous results to him apparently stand as a bugbear in the way. So do demagogues make examples for tyranny. But Andrew Jackson differed with Congress also, and Presidents must prefer his plan. The folly of Johnson led him to make issue on points that necessarily arrayed the people against him, and thus he strengthened the hands of his enemies, But a strong Executive that keeps in view the dignity of the nation and holds the views of the people against the factions, the place-holders aud the malcontents will put them down at the polls, and thus give the only effectual deathblow to the forces that operate against it. An issue with the cliques is what | the Executive must desire rather than fear, H ~asnaliaienniainetattateninninn | Sirver From Canapa.—The New Dominion | on our northern frontier, in addition to the many other grievances that have vexed her young life ever since she became a Confedera- tion, has been suffering for a long time from a dropsical tendency to too mugh silver. She has, in fact, had so much silver about her house that she is now at work to get rid of it at a loss, and since March last has succeeded in buying up six million dollars’ worth of Ame- rican silver at eight per cont discount, and ship- ping it to the United States. An agent of the government is now busy buying it up at six per cent discount, and at this rate the influx of our much desired silver pieces may be greatly in- creased. We look to our brokers and mer- chants, therefore, to put this returning silver on the market, circulate it, give it a healthy ventilation, and let the mass of us enjoy once more the musical chink in our pocket which seems to have become such unbarmonions dis- cord in Canada’s, i] Keerinc Taem Ur—Indian peace confer- ences and festivals at Washington, and Indian massacres on the Western Plains. One or the other of these things, either the feastings of these Indians or their butcheries of the whites, should be stopped. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1870. Generai Grant and the Politicians of the | In the Evont ef War Botwooa France asd Spain What Will Become of Cubat The question of the accession of a German prince to the Spanish throne involves one con- sideration of vast importance to the United States which requires the immediate and serious attention of the government. If the Spanish Cortes accept Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, a war between the Ger- manto Confederation and Spain on tho one side and France on the other will be the immediate result. One of the first movements of such a contest would undoubt- edly be a French expedition against the Span- ish Antilles, and the speedy occupation of Cuba and Porto Rico by and in the name of Napoleon, The transfer of these islands to the posses- sion of a first class European Power, whether by purchase or conquest, has long been con- sidered by our wisest statesmen as a measure fraught with danger to this country, and there- fore to be resisted at all hazards, In the present condition of affairs we would be pow- erless even to protest. The government at Washington persist in recognizing Cuba as a Spanish colony, although the power of Spain in the island has notoriously ceased. A military expedition, therefore, directed against Cuba by any Power at war with Spain, would give us no legitimate ground for interference, We would be compelled to look on in silence, while the means of controlling the Gulf and the Ca- ribbean Sea passed from the failing dominion of the Spaniard into the vigorous grasp of France. Therewith would terminate forever the dream of Cuban independence or annexation, while the United States would remain, with the power of England on the north and France on the south, Cabin’d, cribbed, confined, Failing in achieving the independence which they are contending for, the Cubans would not regard as wholly unwelcome the establishment of French authority in the Island; and the establishment of such authority would clearly be one of the first results of the war now im- minent in Europe. To this threatening danger we call the grave attention of the government. There is but one method of averting it—the recognition of the Cuban insurgents, This measure, if adopted, will alter the essential features of the case. It will give us the right to declare against the permanent occupation of the island by the French and to insist that the war in the Gulf shall be directed only against the military power of the Spaniards and not against the people or the independence of Cuba. The great importance of this con- sideration is apparent from the mere statement of the facts. It has been through a mistake, long per- sisted in by our government, that this question now presents itself in such a dangerous and embarrassing form, Statesmanlike action in regard to Cuba taken a year ago in conformity with the popular sentiment would have enabled the Cubans to establish their independence, or would at least have left us in a better position to adopt the measures which the present occa- sion demands. 11 is not too late, however, for prompt and decisive action, and we doubt not General Grant will recognize the advantage which his administration and the country will derive from a brilliant and vigorous stroke of policy such as we have indicated. Of one thing he may be well assured, that the people of the United States will never consent to permit Cuba to remain even nominally in the feeble grasp of Spain when that nation is about to engage in hostilities in which two of the great Powers of Europe are the chief actors, Claim te KightyeTwe Millions Property in New York. We learn from Georgia papers that two claimants to property located in this city and estimated to be worth the snug little sum of eighty-two millions of dollars have turned up in some obscure Georgia village, and that able counsel have been engaged to press the claim against the present occupants of the premises, This property is said to be located at the cor- ner of Broadway and Canal street, and to have been held only under a hundred years’ lease, which has recently expired. ‘‘If our memory serves us”—to go no further back—the locality referred to was, a hundred years ago, a dismal swamp, a ntrsery for mosquitoes, mud turtles and pollywogs, which nobody but an idiot would have thought of leasing for any purpose whatever except for an aquarium or a floating bath. Therefore if the present heirs prove their identity they will also prove themselves to be descendants from a race of idiots, and their claims must be thrown out of court on the grounds of insanity. In the meantime we would not advise the present tenants, the Brandreth House being included in the estate mentioned, to ‘move out” until more is heard from the counsel of these Georgia heirs. Ie 1t a Tempest IN a TxAPoT?—Some of the dissatisfied republicans in Alleghany coun- ty, Pennsylvania, have just held a convention in which the formation of a third party, or the purification of the old one, under the moral reform and anti-corruption dodges, was advo- cated. Nominations for Congress were an- nounced and an effort made to wriggle General Negley, present incumbent from the Twenty- second (Pittsburg) district, into the movement. The General, feeling secure of the regular nomination aud probable re-election, would not allow his name to be ‘used; and “other prominent republicans adopted the same course. Alleghany is considered the Gibral- tar of Penfityivania republicanism, and among the stanchest in ber loyalty to the princi- ples—the loaves and the fishes included—of the party. As far as the present disruption is concerned it seems nothing more than a very gentle tempest in a very little teapot. And influential republican pa- Commercial endorse the Hd fly the nominations at the head of their columns. As the showman says, “We shall see what we shall see.” PapaL INPALLIBILITY AND THE PorE.— Judging by our telegrams from Rome, pub- lished this morning, Pope Pius the Ninth will proclaim the dogma of infallibility at an early day. Next Sanday week, the 17th of July, is named indeed asthe moment for the cere- monial, This will be a very grand affair, taken in the light of the Roman Catholic Church, in the eyes of Christendom. St. Peter’s chair will be used on the occasion and the religious services be wound up with salvos of artillery. Congrese—Removal of Disabilitiee—Ceolle La- bor Contracte—Ropublican Boonemy. The siecessity for 4 general law, generous and comprehensive in character, removing po- litical disabilities incurred by participants in the rebellion was plainly shown in the Senate yesterday. The bill removing disabilities from some five thousand persons in different South- ern States was taken up and passed, as was also the bill for the relief of seventy-five Ken- tuokians. Among the names in these bills were those of A. O, P. Nicholson, former United States Senator from Tennessee, and Gen- eral Gustavus W. Smith, former Streot Com- missioner for this city, Mr. Nicholson having left his seat in the Senate, and General Smith having resigned his position in this city to take part in the rebellion, their names were stricken out and both bills were passed. A general ainnesty act, excepting but very few classes, would be a fitting finalo for the pre- sent session of Congress and do more to restore fraternal feelings among Southerners than a hundred private relief bills such aa are now being pressed upon Congress, The Georgia bill was taken up, but the Senate refused to concur with the House amendments and referred it to a conference committee. The House seems determined to adhere to its amended Dill and will resist any attempts of the Senate to alter it. In the evening session the bill to prohibit the enforcement of servile labor contracts was taken up. John Chinaman found a champion in Mr. Howard, who eulogized Chinese civili- zation and good government. Mr, Sumuer also came to the rescue of the Celestials by renewing his amendment to the Naturalization bill, extending naturalization to all foreigners alike, civilized or pagan, regardless of race or color. Other Senators, however, less philan- thropic than Sumner, preferred to let the subject rest until the result of Oriental immi- gration was further developed and Americans become better acquainted with Chinese cha- racter. Mr. Dawes appears anxious to be consid- ered the ‘‘watchdog of the Treasury.” Every appropriation bill is carefully scanned by him, and nothing which looks like a ‘‘job” escapes without an attack from the Massachusetts economist. The House called up and passed the River and Harbor Appropriation bill, in- cluding the Senate amendments, in spite of Mr. Dawes’ protest, who took the ground that such appropriations should be confined to the im- portant channels of trade, and not frittered away in improving small streams which have only local importance. An amend- ment to the Additional Deficiency bill to pay certain clerks of the House an additional compensation of twenty por cent for the Thirty-ninth Congress was also strongly opposed by Mr. Dawes, and gave rise to a warm debate, in the course of which he severely rebuked his republican friends for their useless expenditure of the public moneys, and said he would go before the country and expose the extravagance of his party. Mr. Dawes, in thus cutting himself loose from party control, shows a commendable zeal, even at the expense of his political desertion; but his previous efforts in this direc- tion do not augur well for his success. All the proposed appropriations were passed by a large majority, in spite of the throats and opposition of the Treasury's self-consti- tuted guardian. An effort was made by Mr. Brooks, backed by Mr. Dawes, to reduce the expense of publishing the Congressional Globe, by leaving out irrelevant and uninteresting matter; but members are too desirous of see- ing their names in print on all occasions, and this measure of economy also failed, and the bill passed. An important bill was introduced by Mr. Bingham and rushed through the House, under a suspension of the rules, regu- lating the mode of determining the ratification of amendments to the constitution. This bill effectually prevents any State repealing its ratification to constitutional amendments un- less an amendment for the repeal shall have been first proposed by Congress. Rep River.—The war cloud on our north- west border has blown away, and our Cana- dian neighbors can once more rest in quiet, undisturbed by visions of Fenians pouring across the Yankee lines, or of Riel and his ruthless Winnipeggers rising in their might and overwhelming the New Dominion. Riel has made his peace with the Dominion gov- ernment, and has graciously permitted the Winnipeg Legislature to accept the terms of confederation proposed by the Dominion Par- liament, This is a great victory for the half- breed adventurer. The Dominion government has acceded to almost every proposition he dictated. Doubtless his next move will be to have himself returned to the Confederation Parliament as the representative from the Province of Manitoba. JouN CHINAMAN AND THE SPANISH QUES- tion.—John Chinaman has experionced a decided sensation in Paris. He has been actually frightened and slightly in danger. The Parisians were deeply excited over the news of the massacre of their countrymen in Pekin, and John became decidedly unpopular. John did not run the gauntlet of the public gaze, however, but remained quietly within doors. He waited; perhaps prayed. How long he would have had to keep so was very doubtful, when up springs the Spanish throne question, and poor John, to his immense relief, was forgotten. The “‘checks and bal- ances” system of nations is very curious, Justick To Ireianp.—The Irish Land bill was passed in the British House of Lords yes- terday. We are rejoiced at the news on account of the people of Ireland, always pro- vided that the new measure will bring them avy good. The feudal barons of Britain have delayed so long over it that the outside world had almost forgotten it, The passing it just now, when Europe may be regarded as being on the eve of a general war, will merely strengthen the conviction which has been entertained so firmly and proclaimod so loudly by the Irish that “England never did an act of justice except when she was afraid of war.” Sorry to Hear Ir—That the Delaware peach crop will be short this season. Wo half suspect, however, that this report comes from speculators in the article, and that they are operating for a rise. Wo shall know, how- ever, very soon, full crop or short crop, with the bringing of the peaches to market, ‘The Spanish Throne~Frauce and Prassia. Judging from our latest despatches from Europe the Spanish throne question stil! gives trouble. It is » doeply significant fact that the rentes touched the lowest point that has been reached in many years. This shows that France fecls keenly. There is no longer any mystery about the situation, The Prince Leo- pold has consented to be a candidate for the vacant throne. The Spanish government has 80 notified France and all the great Powers, France atill talks loudly and wildly against the new man. The French government is in active telegraphic correspondence with all the govera- menta of Europe, The result is as yet imper- fectly known to us. The governments express sympathy; but what the sympathy means we do not know. Prussia, it seems, has answered the note of the Fronch government. The answer, it is said, has been evasive. If it be true that Prussia has said that she will stand by the Prince Leopold if the Cortes elect him, and that until the Cortes meet she has nothing more to say, it must be admitted that she has acted with consideration and becoming dignity in the premises, A fuller answer is expected from Prussia. Much depends on what Prussia may say. It is possible, however, that this tempest which brews so wildly will not burst until the Cortes meet. If the Cortes do not elect the Hohenzollern Prince matters will remain as they were, and a general European war will be put off for an indefinite period. American Claims Against Venesuela. For the past few years attention bas been called at various times to the claims of Ameri- can citizens against the republic of Venezuela. According to a commission which was organ- ized in 1868, and which held its session in Caracas during the summer of that year, the amount claimed by American citizens amounted to $4,828,273 31. Of these but $1,253,810 80 were allowed—$749, 122 resting on the award of the umpire. Upwards of three and a half millions of dollars claimed were disallowed. In the memorial which has just beon presented to Congress from the claimants it is shown that the claims, which date back as faras the year 1811, arise from many causes. Some are for war supplies furnished Venezuela in its struggle for independence; some for acts of forcible appropriation of property, and others for acts of outrage-and murder perpetrated on citizens of this country. There are others, but these will suffice to show the nature of the claims. After the adjudication of the demands by the mixed commission, and the time agreed upon for the payment settled apparently to the satisfaction of all concerned, it was thought that we had heard the last of the Venezuelan claims, and that tho Central American republic would discharge its debts, Events have proved otherwise. Two instalments of prin- cipal and three of interest upon the awards fixed by the commission have matured, but the Venezuelan government manifests not the slightest anxiety about the matter. It does not seem to give itself the smallest particle of uneasiness. It ignores the affair altogether. So the matter rests so far as the Venezuelans are concerned. Now while these lovers of liberty, truth, justice and republicanism have practi- cally repudiated their indebtedness to the citi- zens of a friendly nation, it is about time that the American government should apprise them of the fact that their seeming forgetfulness will not be overlooked, and that American citizens will have to be indemnified for their losses, The citizens of a nation that can afford to go to war every three or six months, upset the government, sack towns, close ports, destroy corn fields, burn valuable forests, and slaugh- ter, rob and pillage indiscriminately, can afford to pay its just debts, and the Venezuelans should be given to understand that these claims of American citizens must be paid peaceably if possible, forcibly if necessary. Tae Rep May, as a beggar, has proved a great auccess. . Spotted Tail and Red Cloud, with their wives and long retinue of braves, told pitiful tales of their poverty, coupled with instances of their friendship for the white man, which so pleased their Great . Father in Washington that he sent them home with gladdened hearts and plenty of ammuni- tion and scalping knives, with which to culti- vate more intimate relations with the settlers on the borders, Another delegation of red- skins yesterday poured into the ear of Commis- sioner Parker the story of their wrongs,- and wrung from him a promise of wagons, horses and everything else necessary for an Indian paradise. Of course these noble sons of the forest were all peaceable and quiet mortals, and scalping settlers was not at all in their line; but in reply to the question whether their people, who are now upon their summer hunt, had gone ont solely for that purpose, one of the chiefs naively said they did not go out for war; he supposed, however, that while out they would indulge in that harmless recreation to a limited extent. Tur Suiowe or James W. Lixearp.— The announcement that J. W. Lingard, the well knowa theatrical manager and actor, bad committed suicide created a sad sensation throughout the city yesterday. In theatrical circles particularly the tragic end of this once popular man was almost the only subject of conversation. Deceased may have had his faults, but thoge who knew him best speak of him as a man of generous impulses and free nature. He was liberal to @ fault, and when fortune smiled upon him his hand was ever ready to share with others the favors it con- ferred on him. Since the loss of his theatre by fire, in 1866, Mr. Lingard has had to struggle with adversity. This no doubt preyed upon his mind, but it is to be feared that other circumstances more grave impelled him to the commission of the act which has so hurriedly called him from the stage of life. Tue Spanish T'Hrong QUESTION AND THE Porz.—Suppose that a war between France and Prussia follows the proclamation of a king for Spain, is it not morally certaia that this war will rapidly spread into a general Euro- pean conflagration? And if so, with a general rising of the Italian “reds,” what will become of the Pope? This question, too, is some- thing for Napoleon to consider.

AN OFFICIAL RUFFIN. How Order is Preserved in Morrisania~The Preas Defied by a Belligerent Dogberry= Assault on a Herald Reporter.
