Tae Aorrviry mv Wart Srrezt.—The speculative fraternity are again astir and Wall street the past few days hag presented scenes of activity which recall the pristine days of “the street.” The Stock Exchange and Gold Room again resound with a hum and bustle to which they have been strangers since the collapse of the gold conspiracy of 1869, which brought quiet and stagnation on the prostrate market. Fisk's Bopy Guarp is busy at present re- teiving three old delegations of military from New England—the Newburyport Artillery, the Amoskeag Veterans and the Putnam Phalanx, all relios of the famous frainbands that New England fostered in the early days of the Re- volution. What these respectable and com- placent old gentlemen can find congenial in the company of the naughty and Irreclaimable Prince of Erie is a mystery. Tue Cxertoat Parry in France are said to have refused to fight under Garibaldi. This would seem: toinvolve no great harm¥to France, Garibaldi was always a showy fel- low, making much sentiment and romance out of his red shirt and/slouched het, and making alson good deal of mischief wherever he went, but he never accomplished anything practical.

At the last session of Congress two ac's were passed which, being approved by the President, are parts of the supreme laws of the land in relation to our political elections, One of these acts is designed to enforce the rights of all citizens, regardless of raco. or color, in elections for members of Congress, and to prevent frauds in such elections, The other act is intended to prevent. frauds at all elections, State or national, upon the naturalization laws. By these. acts— embracing arrests, trials, judgments and penalties—a rigid supervision of the registries and of the elections and electioa returas are givea to the United States courts and marshals and the deputies of snch marsbals, in any number deemed necessary, in all cities of twenty-five thousand inhabitants and upwards, in the prevention of frauds and of unlawful interference with the rights of legal voters, Indeed, if required, the United States Marshal, fn the enforcement of these laws, may Call into requisition the army and the navy of the United States. There is nothing, however, in these laws against which any honest voter, in favor of honest elections, ean or will eater an objection. The constitutional authority of Congress, a3 exercised, ia full and clear. Qongress has the express power to “‘pass a uniform rule of naturalization,” the power ‘‘to prescribe the time, places and manner” of holding elections for Congressmen, excepting only the places where Senators shall be chosen; the power to enforce the fifteenth amendment in reference to the rights of colored citizens at the polls, and the general and comprehensive power ‘‘to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the ferego- ing powers and all other powers sested by this constitution in the government of the United States or in any department or officer thereof. ” These new election laws of Congress, there- fore, for the special prevention of frauds in elections for members of Congress, for the en- forcement of the righta of colored voters, and for the suppression in all elections of frauds in naturalization papers, are perfectly consti- tutional and will be satisfactory to all honest voters if pnshed to the most rigid enforcement, Yet the fact is notorions that the democratic politicians and journals generally, and espe- cially the fire-eating State sovereignty copper- head leaders and organs of this city, are per- fectly furious ia their denunciations of these acts of Congress as radical usurpations and unconstitutional atrocities which must be re- sisted even to the last extremity. One of these copperhead organs goes so far as to advise the democracy that these unconstitutional laws of be enforced Ta short, so un- cratic usages, that its bloody instructions, if followed up, will surely culminate in sangui- nary riots on election day. Nor are we cer- tain, from the existing signs of meditated vio- lence, that the city will escape the disgrace, the terror, the confusion and the general dan- gers of an appeal to mob law in our November election. It is charged that the heavy democratic majorities rolled up in this city are largely the product of fraudulent votes from repeaters and ballot stuffers, false counting and doctored returns ; votes as they have population, vote to every two inhabitants, and many a vote twice or three times exceeding the legal that some districts return as many others one number of voters; that the ascendancy of the democracy in the State depends upon these fraudulent majorities of the city, and that the fear that the party will lose the State ia being shorn of their fraudulent city voies and returns has driven the party managers here to the desperate alternative of resisting these laws of Congress by mob law and mea- sures of violence, We cannot believe that the sachems of Tammany, in tha gloss of their new honors, powers and emoluments, and upon their good behavior as the control- ling’ junta of the city and State, contemplate any snoh desperate expedients as a violent conflict with the supreme authorities of the United States. We cannot conctive that they are such fools as to encourage any such de- signs among their ignorant followers ; but, remembering the July riots of 1863, we know how great a fire sometimes a little spark may kindle, We know that we have “‘the danger- ous classes” in this city as they have in all other large cities, and we know that in times of great political excitement a few reckless demagogues may lead these dangerous classes into mischief. We know, too, that the deme- cratic party in this city has a large body of followers from these classes who follow only “their own sweet will,” and that these dis- turbing elements have given to our city elec- tions too much of brutal control and too much of the character of a mockery and a farce. Still, the question recurs, will the democratic managers of this city submit to these election laws of Congress? I'rem the action in the Philadelphia election on Tuesday last of the party managers in that clty we cannot tell what here will be done. It appears, however, that in one district in Philadelphia the depu- ties of the United States Marshal appointed to ‘watch the polls and to see that the colered voters were not excluded were themselves arrested by the municipal police and that the colored voters were then excluded till the way was reopened for them to the ballot box bya detachment of United States marines. Jt far- ther appears that this proceeding is denounced by the democratic journals of “he city as “The Philadelphia outrage—Bayonets at the polls,” and from a fire-eating copperhead organ here we have the cry, “Philadelphia carried by bayonets.” This ory is suggestive of mischief here on the day of our November election, It is a ery intended to “‘fire the heart” of the roughs for the violent remedy of mob law, and to prepare them to carry the election by violence or to throw the city into confusion, The whole course of teachings and preachings of many days past from the sacae quarter lead to this conclusion, But may aot a disgraceful election riot be prevented in this city by the exhibition of a strong hand from the local or national authori- ties in behalf of law snd order? Yes; but) the local authorities will evidently do nothing but trust to luck, and the national authorities appear to have oo conception of the measures necessary on their part to keep the peace, in the enforcement of these laws of Congress, so obnoxious to byllot stuffers, repeaters and all their confederaics, From present appear- anees, therefore, we have reason to fear that from the incitements and instructions of un- scrupulous partisan jourvals against these now election laws of Congress the clty of New York, on our November election: day, will be ascene of election riots ‘and confusion dis- graceful to the cily, the State, the United State’, and to our democratic institutions. The War News from France. The military situation presents no change of material importance to-day, though it teems with accounts of skirmishes and miuor on- counters, which will never serve to subjugate France on the one hand nor to rid her of the Prussians on the other. The bombardment of Paris is likely to commence at any moment, many of the siege guas being already in posi- tion. Inside the city all remains orderly and vigilant, the troops expressing thempelves anxious to huve tho Prussians attack. The opposiag forces at Orleans remain es they were reported in the despatches in yeasterday’s psper, and heavy rein- forcements are belng continually for- warded from Tours. General Paladine has been placed in command of the French forces, but it is intimated that Garibaldi will super- sede him. General Bourbaki has been restored to the confidence of the gov- ernment, he having shown that 60 far from envouraging the Empress in her hopes of establishing her son on the throne he had informed her bluntly that no one in France would tolerate even his presence. These are the most importand changes in the situation. Otherwise the record is filled with the achievements of uhlan raiders, the deeds of franc-tireurs, detached engagements be- tween small bodies, the presence of a grim epidemic produced by dead and decaying animals around Metz, and one or two barba- rous reprisals, which show us how rapidly the war is verging towards organized assassination. The Coolie Insurrection in Pera. The coolie insurrection in Peru on the 4th of September—of which we yesterday published @ thrilling account by our Lima cqrrespend- ent—was quelled by two brave men. The atrocities committed by the coolies and their destruction of a million’s worth of property illustrate fearfully the eruel nature of the degraded class of semi-barbarians who bave emigrated from China to Peru. Not a few of this same, degraded class will, perhaps, form part of the increasing Chinese immigration to the United States. But here a large number of representatives of higher classea—the class of bankers and merchants, and especially the class of skilled laborers—has already and will hereafter come, Here also the Chinese immigrants of all classes are far from being exposed—except on the part of certain rude follows and political demagogues of the baser sort, in California—to anything like the harsh treatment to which they have been subjected in Peru. We have tho testimony of our Lima correspondent to the fact that slavery in its most revolting form is certainly preferable to the manner in which the Chinese sre treated on some of the sugar haciendas in Peru, Moreover, in the United States the rest of the population is so overwhelmingly dispro- portionate to any number of Chinese immi- grants that are likely to arrive here during a long pgriod of time, that if two thousand rebel- lious coolies can be put to flight by two brave men in Peru very little danger is to be appre- hended at any point whatever within our borders from hundreds of thousands of China- men. Our police forces would quickly put an end to whvtover insurrectionary movements they might attempt, without being obliged to invoke the aid either of the militia or of the regular army: How to ee OVE THE ait —Under the proposed change in the guperiatendency of police, by creating three distinct divisions, with a responsible head in each, would it not be well for the Police Commissioners te select men now outside of the Police Department ? For example, take some good army officers of tried ability, discretion and firmness, and place them at the head of the several divisions. General McClellan bas been made Chief Engi- neer in the important Department of Public Docks, and, we believe, performs his duties-ac- ceptably to the Commissioners and the public. Why not, therefore, have military men in the more important positions of chiefs of police ? We don’t want any military martinets selected for the positions, but good, sound, resolute men, who, having been trained and disciplined in a proper school, are capable of managing what are called the ‘‘dangerous classes,” as well as preserving the peace and protecting the lives and property of our citizens, Tax InpIANA ELzotions.—Later despatches from Indiana indicate that the vote through- out the State is exceedingly close. Senator Morton himself saya the State has gone demo- cratic by about 2,000 majority, but that the Legislature is still indoubt, Upon that question ofthe Legislature, it must be remembered, hangs Morton's mission to England, for he some time ago announced his determination to keep a democratic Legislature out of the privilege of electing a United States Souator to succeed him. Thus a local State election away out in the wilds of Hoosierdom affects the national government's choice of on ambassador, the personnel of the foreign diplomats at the Court of St. James, and may in consequence affect the final settlement of the Alabama claims. A Pournoat Issue of a suggestive kind has arisen in New Jersey. Jt is Sisk—our own Fisk. The same political evil that aMicts oar own body corporate afflicts New Jersey. It seems that Visk has heretofore been holding Jersey City as one of bis pocket boroughs, and by its aid has succeeded in securing many privileges for Erie that have weighed aa bur- dens on the people. But Jersey has rebelled, @ people’s candidate has been nominated to defeat Fisk's member, and it is probable, from all appearances, that the Erie plebiscite will be sajapied ks asrcided volo The War Question in Europo aod Ks Y Political Foatures. The report of M. Jules Favre on his mis- sion to tho Prussian headquarters, the text of which we published yesterday, shows more clearly, what was apparent before~the implacable character of the war on the part of Prussia. {t ig now, to all intents and pur- poses, a war against the republic of France and against republican tostitations and ideas, It is just euch a war as the Holy Alliance of monarchs waged against the first French re- public, only in’ the present. cage, the King of Prussia is fighting is single-handed and has no armed allies, though he has the good will and moral power of the crowned heads and aris- tocracies of Europe to back him. {t is the same spirit which led. the English monarchy, the French imperial government and other wouarchical governments of the Old World to favor the rebellion in the United States, with the hope of seeing this great republic destroyed. This course is natural enough, however im- politic it may tura out; for repnblicanism is a standing protest against the ruling monarchical families, absolotism and privileged orders, which regard the people as their inheritance just us men do their real estate, ‘ Count Bismarck has seid that Prussia is not making war on the republic. If we can rely upon the reports he has been careful to reiterate that on several occasions, as if he were conscious of the enormity of fighting the Mberal ideas of the age and saw the necessity of appeasing the rising indignity of popular sentiment ia the world. But his acta, or the acta of his master, King William, show the contrary—show, in fact, that the object is to break down the republic in France. King William does not fear France so much as he does the republic. No doubt he is greatly em- barrassed as to whattgovernment can be estab- lished there and the part he should take in de- ciding such an important and delicate question. Though he made war at first against tho Bonapartes, and though it was said he did not wage war against the French nation or people, only as a necessity to put down Napoleon, whom he designated aa the disturber of the peace of the world, there seems little doubt that he would now gladly restore the Bona- parte empire, if that were possible, or he would recognize an Orleanist or any other royal pre- tender rather than seo the republic established. But he cannot see the way clear to any such result. The consequence is he continues this frightfally bloody war against the French na- tion after the firat and only avowed object was attained, Tt might have been possible to have main- tained an imperial or royal government in France had the King of Prussia megotiated a peace with Napoleon immediately after the ‘battle of Sedan. Or if the Emperor had declined to negotiate and preferred to remain 8 prisoner in the hands of the Prussians until the war should be absolutely closed, either from fear of returaing to Paris or to embarrass the situation of things, there was the regency to open negotiations with. Had the King acted on the spur of the moment then he might have treated with the regency in Paris, ‘or, at all events, before it left the soil of France, But after the Emperor became a voluntary prisoner—for he could have fled to Belgium— and the Empress, with the Prince Imperial and the whole of the imperial government, had abandoned France, what was thera to treat with but the provisional government of the newly proclaimed republic? The opportunity was lost to the King, and the prosecution of the war from his standpoiat then became neces- sary. The character of the war was changed at once. It was, as we said before, no longer against the Bonapartes, for they had all fted, but against the nation and the republic. Our remarks with regard to the embarrass- ing situation of affairs ‘caused by tha hostility of the Prussian monarch to republicanism apply also to the great Powers which have refused to recognize the republic. England, Russia and Austria must bo blamed, and especially must England, for the continuance of the war and the present embarrassing situa- tion, Had these Powers, or had England even, followed the example of the United States, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, in recognizing the republican provisional gov- ernment, Prigald ‘fold not have refused to treat with it. And why shéuld théy not have done so? It was the only government pos- sible. It was to all intents and purposes a de facto government, to which the whole French nation gave virtual adhesion and support. Had it been a kingly government instead of a republican one neither England nor the other Powers would have found any difficulty in ac- cording it recognition. We may regret that Jules Favre and his colleagues did not accept the terms Bismarck said he was willing to grant for an armistice, exacting and humiliating a3 they were. But why was the Prussian monarch so inexorable? He had nothing to fear. His position gave him ample guarantees without demanding humiliating terms. His conduct has all the appearance of a purpose to crush the republic by embarrassing its government and reducing the French people to the most miserable con- dition. He may fail in this, however; fer the very means he uses te that end may arouse the heroism of the nation and consolidate the republic. Why, after all, need there be so much fear of a French republic? There is no more conservative government in the world than that of the United States or of Switzer- land. The French of the present day are more instructed in the matter of government than their ancestors, They have been taught by long and sad experience to appreciate libera! institutions, and under a republic now they may become a blessing to Europe as well as peaceful and prosperous among themselves, Let them have a chance. They are among the most advanced civilized nations of the world, and to attempt to destroy them would be an outrage, and must react fearfully upon their implacable enemies, Let the French follow the example of the great American re- public, and assimilate their institutions as much as possible to ours, and then they may establish a lasting republican government, There is no reason why such a goverament shonld not be the means of securing the peace of Europe, as well as its progress in liberty and civilization. How ro Improve Tag Poros Supgrinren- pyeNnoy—Divide the city into three distinct po- slice districts, with a quveriniegdent ia cach. ond all three responsible to the Board of Pol Commissionera for good order, disciplin: cleanliness, and ‘the absence of roguery in their several divisions. A bill meeting this measure, wo suggest, shoald be deere to the next Legislature and passed. ; Presidential, Waroing to Feeiaus ‘aia Cubans, ] President Grant has issued a proclamation, which will be found in our columns this morn- ing, the contents of which it will be well for the members of the Fonian Brotherhood and of the Cuban Juuta to ponder carefully, It is hard tosay at which of those bodies the pro Gamution is more directly aimed, for it applies to both with equal force, describing them as “bodies pretending to have powers of govern- ment over portions of the territories or dimin- fons of Powers with which the United States are at peace.” We beliove that both the Irish and Cuban republics have their govern- ment organizations in the city. of New York, and thus far the proclamation applies to both ofthem. They are both ‘also included in the recital that they coltect money for the pur- pose or alleged purpose of carrying on military enterprises and of equipping armed vessels for hostile purposes. The President notifies them that all such acta are in violation of law and are condemned by all right-minded and law-abiding cltizons, and he gives them fair warning that hereafter all persons found so violating the neutrality of the United Statea shall be rigorously prose- cuted and need not expest any clemency from the Executive, It may be that the proclama- tion, coming out simultaneously with the re- ported pardon of O'Neill and the other Fenian officers who have been undergoing imprison- ment for the late ridiculous raid on Canada, is intended to assure the Canadian authorities and people that such an exercise of Executive clemency is not to be taken as evidence of any sympathy on the part of our government with that absurd enterprise; or it may be that. it has some connection with negotiations in re- ferenoé to the purchase of Cuba. But what- ever be the secret motive for it, it will be generally recognized by the American people asatimely and proper warning to all who would violate our neutrality laws. Very Small Indeed. The death of General Robert E. Lee bas impressed the public throughout the entire country with general feelings of regret. Old prejudices and party bitterness, if any re- mained up to this time, seem to have been forgotten at the announcement of his demise. The State of Virginia, now loyal and republi- can, proposes to give him # public funeral. The Governor addressed a message to the Legislature to this effect, which was at once responded to. by s unanimous epproval, and committees of both houses were appointed to make the necessary arrangements, All the cities of the South are wrapped in mourning for a great public citizen, cultivated, highly gifted, Christian gentleman, who, if he erred—and no one believes that he erred consclously— sarvived the error, lived a noble, dignified life, and died in union with the whole people. Was it not a very small business, then, for the Collector of Savannah to cause the flag on the custom house there, which, in unison with the feeling of the community, was placed at half- staff yesterday, to be hoisted to its original position? Oollector Robb telegraphed the in- formation to Secretary Boutwell, alleging that the mark of respect to the dead was paid by his deputies without consulting him, and stating that much bad feeling existed among citizens at his conduct. Secretary Boutwell approved the conduct of the Collector, for which he may not be blama- ble, assuming that the honor was intended to be paid to General Lee as Commander-in- Chief of the Confederate armies; but it doea not appear that this is the case either in Savannah or anywhere else. General Lee was a great citizen of America, whom his own people especially had learned to honor. Mr. Robb might have shut his eyes to that flag at half-staf’ and not bothered the Secretary about it. It is such very small matters that keep up the acerbity which every honest man in the republic desires to see abandoned. Freuch Artists Coming to the United States. We see that several French artists, devotees of the easel, are about to come to New York, including Rosa Bonheur, Jerome Meissonier, Galant and Saintrine, There is no field for their talent in Paris in these ‘‘ parlous” times, so they are going to enjoy an armistice in Ame- rica, We shall be delighted to receive them. Our millionnaires and connoisseurs have still plenty of room in their private galleries for something new from the divine pencils of these artists. They may find some fresh inspiration here—for instance, charming little groups in social life for Meissonier and splendid studies of cattle for Rosa Bonheur’s superb talent to delight in. But why should we not have at the same time an influx of the dramatic and operatic artists of Eurepe, many of whom are just now ‘‘out of place?” Paris is sealed up from its former theatrical enjoyments. The gay Parisians are only thinking of how long they can exist upon the provisions stored within the walls, They have no time nor spirit for frivolity. Berlin, mourning over its dead, is in no better mood. Our managers should, therefore, avail themselves of the opportunity to import the best talent of Europe, and give us such a glorious theatrical season as we have never enjoyed before. Nilsson, Seebach and Janauschek, three bril- liant stars, we are already possessed of, but, like Oliver Twist, we ask for more. Scrgrimrexpent JourDAN, whose mourn ful obsequies were yesterday solemnized by a vast multitude of sympathizing friends, would probably -have been’ alive and-in good health to-day had not the accumulated duties and responsibilities of his office crowded upon and overwhelmed his brain, The business of Chief of Police for so great a city as this is too extensive and laborious for any one man; therefore the proposition to divide the city into three separate police districts should meet with favor. Szorerary Fisa has had an interview with Minister Thornton relative to the Cana- dian fishery question, and, though nothing definite is known of the result of the inter- view, it is considered probable that some decision ia regaed to the rights of our fisher- mou in Canadian waters wag arrived at. aol is Tae Rocorioca Asavor gion, Atthe annual meeting of this datelaten st Boston on Wednesday a wordy debate ag 3 the respective rights of male and paca | bers of tho society occasioned a great deal of nonsensical talk, but resulted iu a, unanim vote adding two ladies to the Board. What more important, as showing that the associa. tion is not neglectful of practical tnterests, was! the mention in a report by its late secrotary, Mr. Henry Villard, of a handbook for immi- granté to be shortly Issued by the society, and. designed to prevent imprudent immigration, to furnish immigrants with such information as will enable them to,cross the Atlantic and find) new homes and profitable occupation in tho, United States, in the clhieapest, safest and quickest manner, and also to fit them better to, become good. citizens. A special fund has been subscribed for the compilation and publl- cation of this new emigrant handbook, which cannot fail to be both interesting and useful. TOE GUESTS OF THE NINTH Arrival of Military Visitors from the East~ Their Reooption by Fisk's Invineiblee— The March Up Brosdway—Reception by the Ninth at the Twenty. second Regiment Armory, The Erte-presmbie Colonel of the Ninth regiment seems determined to keep his command before the Public.
