, nnobjectionable to the dominant party In the North—clear the way for taking their seats, if elected, without opposition. In order to fight out the disabilities question on constitu- tional grounds it would, no doubt, be a grand thing to be able to do so on the floors of Con- gress; but the trouble is to get there. There- fore the advice of Mr. Stephens, however well Antended, must be regarded as unfortunate, and calculated to keep alive a spirit of acri- mony between the North and the South which should be allowed to subside, in the hope that 4t will eventually die out forever, French Demonstrations in England. The popular voice in favor of the French -eepublic, as demonstrated in an enthusiastic mass meeting in Hyde Park and an equally earnest assembly in St. James’ Hall, speaks in behalf of a policy with regard to France and Prussia which the government of England do not seem disposed to adopt. The people of England evidently demand something more vmanly than the present course of her Majes- ty's government. In short, they want the immediate recognition of the French repub- lican government, without any regard to per- ‘sonal interests, predilections or prejudices which may exist in the bosom of the royal family or any tender sensibilities on the part of the aristocracy. [et us look at the aspect which this great demonstration assumed. It ‘was openly charged by the speakers that the Queen was in alliance with the King of Prussia in his design to crush out the republican gov- ernment established by the French people. The principal speaker, Professor Beesley, said :—‘* What the freemen of America recognize and applaud the aristocracy of England support a queen who deserts her post in aiding to stifle and suppress.” ‘The name of the Queen, for the first time, we believe, at any great public assembly, was ‘‘re- ceived with a tempest of hisses.” An allusion to the Prince of Wales produced an expres- sion of hostility—a series of groans, in fact— which was ‘‘universal and passionate.” The general feeling in London, we are told, is ex- tremely bitter against the government and the royal family. In this agitation, which is but the straw that shows how the wind blows throughout the whole of England, how is the cabinet to ex- plain its position so as to soothe the popular indignation? Gladstone must not dally with the question of the hour. He must place England plainly either for or against the new life which the French people have created out of the decay of the Napoleon dynasty. The ministry are expected to be prompt, straight- forward and honest in this matter, regarding the will of the English people as paramount to the whim of the English sovereign. This is evidently the light in which the masses read the condition of things. There 1s not an Interest among the English people in common with the cause of Prussia and King William. Whatever sympathy exists in England appears to be confined to the royal family alone. If the Ministry should be weak enough to yield to that influence, in defiance of the popular will, it cannot hope to hold power very long. The Ministry may find that it made a blunder by hesitating to acknowledge a republic in France when it was duly proclaimed and accepted by the people. But it is traditional ‘with English cabinets always to blunder in the incipiency of great questions, but in such cases the popular remedy is always promptly applied. The people throw the ministry overboard. That is the remedy. And this will probably be the case with the Gladstone Ministry if they do not speedily retrieve themselves by adopting a more liberal policy toward France. Neither the influence of the Queen nor Earl Granville, who are alleged to have controlled Gladstone, can save them from the torrent of popular indignation which seems to be surging through and upheaving the minds of the Eng- lish masses. The state of affairs in England just now is critical both for the people, the Ministry and the crowa. Cuorororm iv Haneina.—A poor wretch ywas hung in Missouri the other day after having endeavored to cheat the hangman by taking chloroform. He was, however, guffi- ciently resuscitated to go through the ceremo- nies, and thus was enabled to tell his friends in tthe other world ‘“‘whathe knows about hanging.” Af prisoners sentenced to the death penalty are allowed to enjoy the benefits of anesthetics just prior to their final taking off, as was the case some time ago in the interior of this State, would it not be well to amend the law and allow judges to sentence criminals to die by the administering of chloroform? It is said to be a much easier death than to die by hang- ing, and the corpse presents a far more pleasant appearance, which is always a consideration ‘among the friends of the “lamented deceased.” A Soup Dugt.—France and Prussia have been engaged in a pretty heavy duel in Europe, fin which nearly two millions of men were en- gaged. It is natural that the influence of that grand campaign should touch manly hearts on. this side of the Atlantic. An evidence that these sublime feelings of patriotism exist ‘was furnished in a Washington hotel a few days ago, when an irate Frenchman, affronted by some derogatory remarks of an inflated Prussian, smote the subject ‘of King William upon the head with his soup plate and baptized his shirt bosom with some excellent pea soup. ‘The soup being only the first course, we may expect to hear of several others, in the shape of short swords and pistols, to follow in order, It is to be recorded, to the credit ofthe French and German citizens of this country, that there are so few hot-headed individuals to be found among them as this pair of soup duellists in Washington. THE SSION TO ENGLAND. CHICAGO, Sept. 12, 1870.

Orviero, Sept. 12—Noon, An insurrection has broken out in the province of Viterbo against the Papal goverament. The people are armed to a considerable extent and move about to the cry of “Znviva ire d'itaiia.” The insurrec- tonists observe the rules of military order and dis- cipline. They have formed in guerilla bands and harass the Papal zouaves who are intrenched at Viterbo, Montefiascone and Valentano, The mem- bers of the gendarmes force have veen disarmed and the entire population all over the Papal States demand a reconstruction of the government for the restoration and maintenance of order by constita- tional guarantees given tn the name of the King of Italy. The democrats nail exch other from the turreted halls of Viterbo, built by Desiderius, the last Lom- bard King of Italy, and in the public square where the Emperor Barbarossa humiliated himself before the English Pope Aarian 1V, These very memories excite the population, who appear determined to unify Italy and repair a governmental system which has been vitiated by the Papal executive since the days of the twel(th century. The agitation is becoming universal in Italy. It radiates from Rome and spreads all over the coun- try. Telegrams from Florence, dated on Sunday, the 11th inst., in the evening, report that the movement is extending. The Italian fags have been displayed in the territory and placards inscribed with the words “Long live Victor Emanuel” posted every- where. In Modena and away north to the boundary of the Lombardo-Venetian territory meetings are being held urging the occupation of Rome by the King of Ttaly—the assemblage which took place in the city of Modena being of a most enthusiaslic character.

General Cadorna has addressed a proclamation to 4 the Roman people. There 1s great enthusiasm and excitement among the troops and people. A correspondent at Florence saya:—The troops are violently excited and impatient.

Four regiments of grenadiers passed through France to the frontier. France has recalled all the French soldiers under the Papal flag, 2,000 in number. Many towns of the Papal States have already pro- claimed provisional governments, The Italian War Minister has just resigned, and Recotti has been appointed his successor. The Italian Ministry is discordant in its views of the situation. The Uttimatum of Italy—No Temporal Power, but Pontifical Independence. Lonnon, Sept. 12—Evening. Advices from Florence are to the effect that the Italian troops enter Koman territory to-day. Italy's ultimatum substantially strips the Pope of his temporal power. The local authority of the Italian territory, how- ever, remains undisturbed by the Italians, and the government announces its wish to concur with any Power in guarantecing the independence of the Pontiff. The Papal towns are sending petitions to the Italian government for protection. Naples urges the King not to hesitate to make Rome the capital of the nation. The official Journal of the government at Florence justifies the occupation of the patrimony of St. Peter, maintaining that it is as necessary for the Pope as for Italy. The journal hopes the Pontiff will accept the guardianship of the Italian government. It is said that the Pope is considering offers made to lim of a refuge on board one of the British frigates off the Tiber. A Plebiscitum. Lonpon, Sept, 12, 1870, The Daily Telegraph has a spectal despatch stating that an arrangement for the occupation of the Papal territory has been agreed to.

Return of the Prussian Exploring Ship Gor- mania—The North German Flag Taken Towards tho Worth Pole—His tory of the Enterprise. A cable telegram, dated in Berlin yesterday, Sep- tember 12, reports to the HERALD thus:—"Tne Ger- mania, of the Prussian exploring expedition to the North Pole, has returned.” The Germania has been absent during the greater part of the past two years, engaged in a voyage of polar exploration, Her report will no doubt be of a most interesting character and highly useful in tts contents. This German expedition left Bergen, Norway, on Sunday, the 17th of May, in the year 1863, for the = dirst time. It was commissioned to proceed to the eastern coast of Greenland, and there explore the Arctic regions north of the seventy-fifth degree of north latitude. The vessel in which tne expedition sailed was the Germania, built expressly for the pur- pose, She 1s of eighty tons burden, and carries the flag of tne North German Bund. It returned and set out again. The commander of the expedition, Captam Charles Koldewey, was instructea to return to Bergen, if possible, in from three to four months, but could not.

The train had left Catasauqua but a few minutes, when it ran over acow. The engine, baggage car and first passenger car passed over successfully, but the rear car was thrown over the embankment, and a number of passengers in the car, mostly Phiiadelphians, were seriously injured, One lady had her whole upper lip cut off, and another was severely cut about the head. §S.

The President Takes a Drive to Red Bank, and His Family a Trip to New York—Signor Garcia, the Colombian Minister, a Guest at the Presidential CottageWhat the President Thinks of the French Re} licThe Engtina Embassy in Statu Quo—Sensible View of Long Branch by Sensible People. LONG BRranou, Sept. 12, 1870. The President drove to Red Bank to-day, drtving his favorite team, and going by himself. Driving along with ribbons well in hand, at a steady, square trot, and occasionally dashing into a good three minute gait, he of course made short work of the drive, and wasearly back aguiu. Meanwhile, ex- cepting the presence of Gencral Dent, whom outside ailurements very rarely entice away, the Presidential cottage was quite deserted, Mra. Grant, Miss Nellie Grant, Ulysses 8. Grant, Jr., and Dr. Norris, @ late guest at the cottage, and General Porter, the President's private secretary, having gone over to the city for the day. Accompany: ing the latter was also Signor Garcia, Colombian Minister, wife and daughter, who yesterday dined with the President, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Despatches emanating from Washington during the receut visit of the President at the national capital give out, very many of them, the impression that the President has not much faith in the stability of the new French republic. Itis very positive that the President has never given utterance to any such opinion, On the con- trary, despite the antecedent political history of the French people, despite their strikingly mobile and vacilatory charactertstics and despite their para- mount revolutionary tendences, he has strong faith that the republic now established will prove itself fouuded on a firm and solid basis, such basis being the strong will and determination of the controlling masses. It was this faith that impelled his prompt iustructions to Minister Washburne to recognize the repubite, The act was @ spontaneous and co! dial welcome from our repubile to a sister republic an act of inspiration and courage to the lawer—a re- cognitton of another link in the grand brotherhood of natonal republics. THE ENGLISH EMBASSY. The position of Ambassador to the Court of St. James is not going a-begging, notwithstanding ‘the refusdl of Mr. Frelinghuysen to accept the proffered mission, It is believed to be now pretty well set- Ued, however, that Minister Motley will continue to hold over for some time to come. Aspiring candi- dates there are on every side, and the names of sey- eral are preseated who, in filling the position, would do ample credit alike to themselves and our government; but no one has yet been positively se- lected for the nomination, aud more than likely wiil not be until the reconvening of Congress. LIFE AT THE BRANCH. It 1s certainly dull here; dull ro what it has been; dull as some people interpret dulness. That great caravansary of the busy season, the Continental Ho- tel, closed t-day, and so too the United States and the Mansion House. The old densely thronging crowds have gone; the old perpetual tooting of bands, the oid nightly hops, the six and four-m- hands, the ceaseless round of datly and nightly disst- pation. But with the going out of the oid lite has come in a new and better one—a life quiet, peacelul, restful. The only mu- sic one hears here now {8 that grand | diapagon of nature, the mustc of the ocean; those | sweiling symplonies give giowing expansion to thought and feeling; the perpetual hymn of the infl- nite, the unceasing, mystic refrain of the far away, unattained aud dim. And what glorious weather | by day, the sky cloudless and the bracing air electric | with itt , and what splendid moonlight nights! This 4s the month of ail the year to be here, and it 1s not dull to those who are here, not dull to the cottagers who have the sense to remain and enjoy it, not dull to the guests at Howland’s, who with like endowment of sense still linger to enjoy the bril- liant beauty ofthese golden ey days and the glorious splendor of these moonlight mghts, The bathing, too, was never better than now, and tt is daily enjoyed with irrepressible gusto by' the guests | at the latter hotel. Most of these guesis, by the way, are Philadelphians, who happily for tuemselves are not the siaves of fashion, as are our New York peo- ple. The only pity is that there are not more sensttie New York people like them, who would fll for six weeks yet ail the hotels, AMUSEMENTS.

Rivals-altke in the management of Hotels, the euphony of titles and the speed of yachts, they put up on the last named issue a purse of $100 a side, naming tor the sailing course the same as that for third class yachts in the city-regatta of the 4th of July. The general. course describes the outlines of a triangle, two sides being straight, and the third waving somewhat, in order to avoid City Point, which Is the extreme projection of Boston's territory to seaward. The es jength of the Course 13 nine and one-half miles, The juages were Captain J. W. Pierge. ol the Boston Yacht Club, and Captain W. Kier, of the South Boston Yucht Ciab, their yacht, the Carrier Deve, being stationed one-lourth of a mue southerly of City Point. At two o'clock precisely the competing yachta were off. The Daisy being to windward got a siighe Saventane as the two stood off to the southward under a light easterly breeze. The breeze proved treacherous here as afterwards, and the Brillani, catching a puff from the northwest, shot across the bows of the Daisy and rounded the first potat of the triangle, buoy No. 4, thirty seconds ahead. Both got the northwest breeze after rounding the buoy and kepton at a pretty even pace tll again baitied by meeting an easterly breeze. Two lacks wero made on this and the Daisy gained on her rival suiliciently to round tli Xt point of the triangle, buoy No. 6, @ little over @ minute in advance. ‘The easierly breeze beid them well together after the turn as they sped away before it Of Fort Independence the northwest current again revaiied, and by keeping the north channel the riiliant waa lucky ehough to get @ comfortabie land puff from over Governor's island. The Daisy lay meanwhile half becalmed nud channel with & strong ev) -tide against her. Captain Macomber here experienced anvther disadvantage tn the eftort to leave buoy No.9 on dis port band. This was ® misund anding On his part, a8 the course here Was discretionary. [is competitor improved her opportunity, and with the northwest wind nearly abeam shot away for the tuird poiut of the triangie, buoy No. 11, on the north of South Boston pentnsuta, Rounding this with the wind nearly asterm th> Brilliant stood away on the homesiretch, verging & little to avold the point, and passed the judges yacht thirty minutes ahead of the Daisy, the ume bemg two hours and fifty-seven minutes, The race was given to the Briliiant, and Captain Macomber renewed lis challenge, pledging & sunilar suin to sail tea wiles to Windward und the same to leeward, Brooklyn Yacht Club Regatta—The Course Regulations, &c. The Brooklyn Yacht Club heid a meeting last evening and admitted several new members, besides adopting rules for the regatta of the 29th. ‘The club invite all yachts of recoguized clubs to enter for the Union regatta. Yachts to be classified as follows:— Schooners—First ciass, two prizes, one by the ciub and one by th us of brooklyn.

Second, third and fourih Class sloops to Southwest Spit and return, all yachts to pass to the eastward of West Bank buoys going and returning. Schooners may carry a!l iower fore and aft sails, with main and tore gatf topsaiis and staysails. No restrictions as to canvas for sloops, the esUmate of ail allowance of time to be based on the greatest areca of square feet of canvas the yachts in each class may carry at any one time during the race. ‘The starting signals will be—First gun, ready; sec- Ethiopian shrine of Kelly & Leon, It now looks bright and fresh as any one could wish, and the opening last night was attended by an audience that Jeft neither seat nor box un- occupied and very litile standing room. Tue Dill consisted of the capital burlesque of | “Black-Eyed Susan,’’ preceded by one of the dreariest comedies tt has ever been our lot to wit- ness. The name of this funereal affair is “A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush,”’ and the perpe- t ator is called Frederic Phillips. The only one that eulivened it was Mr. Harry Jackson, who appeared &s a scheming pettifogger, and even he needs toning down in some of his lines, Misses Amelia Harris and Lille Eldridge had nothing to do but to look— the one portly gna the other pretty and interesting, Mt is Was Satisfactory with both ladies, Mr. Walter Grisdaie appeared to mistake his part for that of heavy and he spoke lls lines and stratted in a styie which would have excited the envy of Eddy or McKean Buchanan. But the real enjoyable part of tle p_r- formance was the buriesque. | Stuart Robson's Cap- tain Crosstree is too well known to theatre goers to need comment here, and Miss Edwin and Miss Clive were sprightly and amusing as Susan and Wiliam. The scenery, mounting and eon of both pieces were admirabie, and » J. B, Donniker’s orchestra was handled in the most satisfactory man- ner, The chorus 13 well selected and the dresses wetty and becoming. Nothing more is needed for a buriesque, But the comedy should be shelved at the earliest opportunity. NibLo’s THkaTRE—LotrTa.—This charming little comédienne was welcomed back to the city last evening by a large and enthusiastic audience, who crowdea the theatre in every part, and testified on several occasions during the evening in the most unmistakable manner their admiration for the little lady and pleasure in her reappearance on the me- tropolitan stage. Bouquets and floral offerings enough were bestowed upon her to stock a first class conservatory, and encore after .encore tried her patience sorely responding to the demands of her auaitory. Lotta appea.ed in a new drama, entitied “Heart's Ease,” in which, unlike most dramas written lor “stars,” the action does not depend entirely upon hers: The piece, in fact, 1s quite interesting apart trom Lotta’s specialties in it, and has @ most amusing Yankee, who shares the honors with Miss Lotta in her character scenes. An impossible Irishman appears at tue start but is soon happily extinguished. Theodore Hamilton has here an opportunity for the display of his careful and well-conceived acting.
