re” ments, Such men as the Duke of Argyle, the Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Forster are spoken of as the English commissioners. Now, let us see if we cannot select three states- here to meet them upon this question. ‘We think that such men as Chief Justice Chase, Senator Sumner, and Senater Morton,” of Indiana, would be a good selection,.if the latter gentleman does not occupy the place of Secretary Fish before his services can be required on the commission. However, we are in accord with the idea of settling the Ala- bama claims and all otber pending difficulties upon this plan. We never can get around them in a more simple way. General Butler for the Cabinet-A War with England In Wall Street. The dulness which has for some time pre- vailed in Wall street was broken on Saturday last by the startling rumor among the bulls and bears that General Butler—‘“‘fighting Ben Butler”—‘‘Butler the Fenian,” was booked for the State Department at Washington, in place of the amiable and eminently pacific Mr. Fish. The bulls of Wall street were cowed by the news, the bears began to play the bully, and the lame ducks quacked and fiut- tered. Gold went up to the extent of one half of ‘one per cent, which is a wonderful rise for these days on a mere Cabinet rumor, and that rumor not of an event accomplished, but of an event among the probabilities of a new Cabinet. What, then, would be the effect in ‘Wall street, with the official announcement of Butler's appointment as Secretary of State, if this mere rumor is regarded as a pretty sure sign of an impending war with England? We should no doubt have ‘‘a blue Monday” eranother “black Friday” among the gold bulls, and another batch of good cases for the lawyers from the cheated and cheating gamblers of ‘the gold pool.” Nevertheless, the time has come for some such man as Butler in the State Department— a bold and daring statesman—a positive, active, aggressive and popular politician—a king among the lawyers, anda master in all ihe arts and profundities, and strong points, and quibbles and chop logic of diplomacy. Why not Butler? They have pronounced against him in England because of his resolution in Congress expressive of American sympathy for the exiled Fenians. The thin-skinned Bnitishers construe that resolution as an insult to England or asa demagogical bid for the Irish vote, just as the ferocious Canadians construe General Butler’s Cape Cod programme on Yankee fishermen’s rights as an outrage upon *‘the Lion and the Unicorn,” or as a bit of buncombe for those cod fishers of Cape Cod who poach upon the cod fish of the Blue Noses. But what does all this signify against General Butler's appointment as General Grant’s secre- tary on foreign affairs? ¥ signifies nothing. We go further. We hold that these English and Canadian objections to General Butler are good American reasons for his appointment. In the name of commou sense, what sort of in- dependence is this, which binds us in every- thing we do to consult the wishes and feelings of John Bull? Doe we owe him anything? Are we under any such special obligations to England, or do we so much depend upon her gracious consent for our existence as a nation that the mere mention of the appointment of General Butler to our State Department as a probability frightens all the. old grannies of Wall street? We say that we want just such a man at the head of our foreign affuirs; and we believe that General Butler in this place, just in pro- portion to the sneers and objections of Eng- land, would be met with the approbation of the American peop!e. In this view he is the very man at this crisis for General Grant and the republican party. hrow aside, Mr. Presi- dent, all these old English crutches, and stand uplike aman, ‘‘Let us have peace,” you say ; and so say we; but let us have American inde- pendence, too. We can have both. Don’t be afraid of that old lion. He may growl, but he can’t bite. Darien Expedition—Reported ery of a Canal The reported discovery by Commander Seliridge of a practicable interoceanic canal route from the mouths of the Atrato across the isthmus, the highest points of the line being only three hundred feet above the ocean, will rekindle the ardent hopes which, according to Admiral Davis, this part of the Cordilleras has inspired in the minds of nume- rous writers and explorers, from Humboldt to Kelley and Michler. But it must be remembered that Humboldt, who originally pointed out the Atrato route as likely to afford the best solution of the interoceanic canal problem, did not speak of its alleged advantages from his own know- ledge, but merely from the favorable statements of his native correspondents. Nor can it be forgotten that almost all actual explorers of that region agree in their descriptions of ‘‘the same promising but deceptive appearance of the mountain range when viewed from the ocean.” It is, in fact, this “‘promising but deceptive appearance” which largely accounts for the preference shown to this section of the isthmus by those interested in explorations of a route for a ship canal. If, however, the rumor that Com- mander SeJfridge has really discovered a line, the summit of which does not exceed three hundred feet, he has been more fortunate than any previous explorer, and the scientific and commercial importance of his discovery cannot easily be overestimated. Nevertheless, it will still b2 requisite to refute satisfactorily the objection most strongly urged by Mr. Gisborne against the Atrato route—namely, its great length, which, in his opinion, would of necessity compel the use of tuge for sixty-five miles against stream, and which induced him to add that he thought it would be cheaper to transship goods for Culi- fornia and India over the Panama Railway, if good harbors were constructed at both ends. In view of the great length of the Atrato route, and the vast expense of labor, time and money required in order to excavate bars, dredge streams, tunnel solid, primitive rock and create or improve harbors—in fine, to com- plete the construction of the canal—it is not to be wondered at that many intelligent persons adhere to their preference for the Nicaragua route, particularly recommended, as this has been, by the ex-Emperor of the French and by other eminent authorities. Nature itself has seemingly made advauces in fawar af the The Discov- Route. NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1871—WITH SUPPLEMENT. latter ronte by offering the water communica- tions of San Juan and the lakes, which reduce the isthmus to one-tenth of its whole breadth, Without indulging the extravagant expecta- tions which the Nicaragua route has encour- aged, it may not be unreasonable to believe that renewed and thorough explorations will yet revive the special favor for a long time enjoyed by the project of a transit from ocean to ocean on a line following the river San Juan del Norte, either in its bed or on its banks, crossing Lake Nicaragua and thence to the Pacific. ind Senility of the gious Fress, The record of the past week, we are sorry to say, furnishes no new evidences of the infusion of the true spirit of grace and enthu- siasm among our religious contemporaries, The Observer fails to put in the usual amount of brimstone Presbyterianism ; the Zoangelist has suspended its flight ef javelins upon the poor, good old Pope; the Independent is remarkable only for the pressure upon the “publishers’ department” in the shape of advertisements, conspicuously displayed, of financial ventures of doubtful integrity and medical manifestoes of peculiar morality. Henry Ward Beecher’s Christian Union is prolific in ‘‘Letters of Marque,” which have ne letters of mark at all except those of “Your Uucle Dudley,” together with a lengthy and labored editorial advertisement, written by Sam Wilkeson, in favor of Jay Cooke's new Northern Pacific Railroad, from Lake Superior to Puget Sound, and a number of sentimental sketches from the wives, sons, daughters and brothers ef the Beecher- Stowe and the Stowe-Beecher happy families. The stanch old Methodist, the devoted advocate of lay representation, has hardly a word that might be likened to divine inspiration, unless it be the inspiration of the ‘‘almighty dollar.” The Tablet (Roman Catholic organ) exhibits the most spirit. It is lively in defence of what it calls, with no little truth, the ‘‘mighty demonstrations of Catholic sympathy for the Pope ;” but it for- gets its gravity and descends tothe scurrility of some of the lower grade of the secalar press when it refers to the ‘whipped Christian Intelligencer.” The Freeman’s Journal (Cath- olic organ) consoles itself with the fact that Pope Pius IX. has already reigned longer than any ether Pope except St. Peter. The Jewish Messenger would be nothing were it not essentially Jewish, and it is, therefore, Hebrew and nothing else, all over. It talks of ‘real improvement,” and it is to be inferred that it means real estate improvement, for it begins at once to talk about the ‘camp of Israel,” just as A. T. Stewart would of his fine plantation at Hempstead Plains. The Messenger is also crabbed because some of its Christian brethren—the Protestant Church- man, the Christian Register, and so on— cribbed a sketch of Rabbi Chonia, which was originally published in and copyrighted fer the Mvssenger. The Jewish Times is stirred in regard to Hebrew literature and ad- vocates the establishment of a Hebrew library, which is just as important and a far more useful matter than the getting up of the famous annual Purim balls by our Hebrew fellow citizens. But, between the orthodox Jews and the reform and progressive Jews, our Israelites are getting into a serious muddle. Still, the support of a movement to restore and cultivate Hebrew literature is wise and beneficent, and we hope there will be no division among the Jews on that question. The most tender recollections and the most exalted aspirations of the Christian world are associated with ancient Hebrew literature. Without it the world probably would never have enjoyed that pyramid of wisdom, divine and human, the Holy Bible. The Hebrew Leader urges that energetic protests be en- tered against the Immigration bill now before Congress. Our distant religious contemporaries, in- cluding the Baltimore Zpiscopal Messenger, the St. Louis Christian Advocate, the Chicago Standard, which is the consolidation of the Christian Times, of Chicago, the Witness, of Indiana, and the Christian Herald, of Wiscon- sin—a trinity of established religious ex- cellence—the National Baptist, of Phila- delphia (which publishes an appeal to the Baptists o America from the missionaries of the American Baptist Missionary Union in Barmah for material aid), the Christian Stand- ard, ef Cincinnati, Campbellite Baptist ergan, regales us with a few pleasant ‘Walks About Jerusalem ;” but, as if it were also de- termined to divide with its secular conte: poraries the honors of “‘undignified journal- ism,” preaches to the Hxaminer and Chronicle a homily from the text:—‘‘Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.” These of our distant re- ligious contemporaries—and we have only included those just at hand—show that there is a lack of warmth, enthusiasm, of a will and a determination to carry out the natural mis- sion of the religious press. Instead of preach- ing peace and good will they defile their brethren of the press by bandying opprebrious epithets; instead of advocating morality they publish advertisements of a questionable purity; instead of being the Mentors of a positively correct and healthy religious sentiment they are too apt to squabble about paltry temporal affairs and thus leave the high and noble principles of a sublime Christianity to be scattered to the winds. In short, they ‘‘swap” dollars for souls, and think they are doing a handsome thing by the exchange. Fortunately for the religious world, and for the progress of Christianity generally, inde- pendent papers, like the New York Herarp, have entered the field, and, bearing aloft the lustrous banner of the Cross, are prepared to fight and are now engaged in fighting—as will be seen from the comprehensive reports we give to-day of religieus services yesterday— old Beelzebub in any shape he may appear, Again we appeal to our religious contempora- ries to arouse from their languor and join us The Lauguor Rell- in the great work spread before us, Russo-GerMaN UNton.—A cable telegram from Vienna, by way of London, reports that the most influential and direct pressure is being breught to bear upen Prince Charles of Roumania with the view of causing bim to abate his movement for the accomplishment of aa independent rule in the Daaubian ter- ritery, and In advisement of his being content with his aresent suzerain ponition toward Turkey, Austria, England, the father of the Prince and the Prussian Cabinet are active in their diplomacy lest the Eastern question should be revived, We are told, however— and this is the important point of the Vienna news—that even if the others fail, ‘‘the pacific disposition of Russia and Prussia favors a satisfactory settlement.” Austria knows all about the matter; no doubt it is just as the Austrians say. Russia and Prussia, in “pacific disposition,” conveys the idea of o Russo-German alliance, and this alliance may become at any convenient future moment just as warlike as it is now said to be ‘‘pacific.” There’s the danger. EnGLaNp's Mrurrary Necxssiry.—The Brit- ish Parliament is about to reassemble. Britain, alarmed at the wenderful military revolution which has been accomplished on the Continent, comes out with a prefatory plaint en the subject of her unprotected con- dition, both at home and abroad. This plaint is destined for the ears of her legislators who, as itis hoped, may do something to remedy the causes which excite it. The truth of the matter is, as will be seen from the news illus- tration which we append to our cable telegram, that ‘‘John Bull” anticipates a coming danger— a danger from war in Europe after the termi- nation of the Franco-Prussian struggle. Com- plications are feared which may imperil the very existence—not the glory—of ‘‘the flag which braved a thousand years the battle and the breeze.” SPAIN. The Parliamentary Elections Canvass—Platform of the Republicaus—Ihe Dethronement of King Amadeus a Point of the Manifesto. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Feb. 6, 1871. Ihave recetved telegraph reports from Madrid, dated inthe Spanish capital on the 3d instant in the evening. Iam thus enabled to state that the parliamentary elections canvass is being prosecuted with great animation by the leaders of the different political parties in Spain, who are becoming aimost unscru- pulons in the pomts of issue which they present to the voters, particularly in the city of Madrid. From that influential centre the republican depu- tles of the Cortes have sent out a manifesto urging their party in the electoral struggle to support can- didates pledged to the repeal of articie 83 of the constitution and to the dethronement of the Savoy dynasty in Spain. The deputies also ex- press ardent hopes ‘of tne ultimate success of the French people, now victims of the ambition of the Brandeburgs, the crimes of the Bonapartes and the ingratitude of the House of Savoy.” THE ROUMANIAN QUESTION. Anxious Efforts of the Great Powers for a fettie- ment—Foreign and Home Advice to Prince Charles—Russia and Prus- sia Calm but Pacific. TELEGRAIA TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Loxnon, Feb, 5, 1871. Interesting advices on the subject of the Eastern question, as it 1s likely to be affected by the Rou- Manian dificulty, reached this erty during the fore- noon to-day. The despatches, which come from Vienna under date of the 4th inst., report as follows:—The appre- heasions which were first felt that the Roumantan question will effect tne peace of Europe are disap- pearing. The Powers still hope that Prince Charles will be persuaded to remain in nis position as Hospaday in the princivaiities. The efforts of Rus- sla, Austria, Prussia and England are powerfully supported by the father of the Prince; but should ali this fail the paciiic disposition of Russia and Prussia favors a si A BITING DAY. Jack Frest Abroad with a Vengeance. The church bells rung out yesterday, but not with their usual soft, joyous peal. A hard, discordgit clanking struck upon the air, as if those monitors of duty were shrivelied up in their towers with the bitter cold without. . Kitchen belles, hurrying to answer the call to prayer with florid faces, rubbed their ears and wound themselves tighter into their faming dorsal wrappers as they sniffed the frosty air. “What do you think of this, driver ?”” “Think, sir? its a sneezer."” And he jumped off the platform ond ran behind his horses for half a dozen blocks. The conductor followed his example, and 1t seemed hard work, indeed, to get lis pedal extremities into anything luke a comfortable glow. Ladies tmckly velled had miniature icebergs on their gossamers from the respirations. The mounds of snow on both sides of the street were hard and crisp, and tricky as a foothold. The tall parson, with long beard and enormous nose rouging at the extremity, conducting home his better half after service, has forgotten the differest littte inatten- tious of particular members of his congregation in the all absorbing topic of the weather, and madame and he moan the intense cold in concert. Every now and then one comes upon a party of warm and gally clad damsels, talking loud and fast and all together; they carry little parcels—skates, of course—and are going to the Park to disport their limbs upen the trozen bosom of the lake, It’s very cold—of course itis; but what do they care? Redolent of health and full of spirits, they are bound to have & jolly time. And they will have it. The almost entire absence of the usual tradesman, with his Sunday suit, taking an airing and an occasional lager, told most emphati- cally the state of the atmosphere out of doors. People who had tasted the acidity outside quickly retreated within the limits of their homes, and dls- posed themselves affectionately to the firesides. ‘The dismal, deserted scene 1n the street was sum- cient evidence, were any needed, of the extreme cold, and showed most distinctly we had fallen upon the severest day of this the severest season in @ number of years. ‘Tne following record will show the changes in the temperature for the past twenty-four hours in com- parison with the corresponding day of last year, as indicated by the thermometer at Hudnuv’s Phar- macy, HERALD Building, corner of Ann street:— 1870, 1871. 1870. . 12 3PM. eo 6 6PM. 9A.

He expresses bis conviction of the advantages of monarchy for France, and proudly compares France during the reign of Louis Philippe with France of the present day.

TOE BURNING OF THE ADELPHI THEATRE, Additional Particulars of the Conflugration— No Lives Yet Known to Have Been Lost— Carelesaness the Cause of the Fire. Boston, Feb. 5, 1871. There are few particulars to add to the Heratp’s despatch of last night concerning the burning of the Adelphia theatre. The fearful apprehensions that several persons perished in the flames have proved, very happily, without foundation. All those who were mussing last night turned up this morning, and an examination of the debris failed te discover anything to give sus- picton of a loss of life. The fire is ascertained to have originated in the work room of the theatre, in the rear part of @ building, and where @ steam en- gine and several furnaces were located. The night being an unusually cold one @ more than ordinary fire was built, and carelessness in looking after it was undoubtedly the cause of the conflagration. It is not likely the theatre will be rebuilt as a temple of amusement, for there has been for a long time .a surfelt of this character in Bos- ton, This had been closed until recently, and the old opera house of Morris Brothers, which had been shut up for along time, bas been trans. formed into a hotel during the past few weeks, and the Olympic theatre, which has also been suspended alternately ever since tt was built, 15 likely te be de- voted to other business purposes at an early day. ‘There is talk of a benefit for the actors and ac- tresses who have lost situations by the burning of the Adelphi, and it will probably take place during the present week. The Park Heuse was not wholly destroyed, except in the rear; but a deluge of water nearly rulued the other portions of it. THE COAL STRIKES.

Fifty Killed and Many Prison- ers Taken. ANOTHER IMPORTANT SURRENDER TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The Heray’s special correspondent at Havana sends the following important infor- mation respecting the progress of the war against the rebels in Cuba, and the surrender of another insurgent of importance :— Havana, Feb. 5, 1871. The continued successful operations of the Spanish forces in the field against the rebels still in arms is hurrying matters to 4 crisis, and gives further evidence that the final sur= render cannot long be delayed. We have just learned that the insurgents have beem attacked in their stronghold at Najasa and entirely defeated, Their loss was fifty killed, many wounded, and a large number of prisoners were taken, together with many of their families. The affair was very decisive, and the result, though not unexpected, will be crushing to those who still hope against hope, and who appear determined to seek death by the bullet, the bayonet or the garrote, instead of giving themselves receiving the pardon granted to others who, seeing the utter hope- up and lessness of their cause, have voluntarily sure rendered. We also learn of the coming in of another insurgent of importance, whose surrender will doubtless have an important influence with others and induce them to do likewise, Jesus del Sol, chief of the Cinco Villas, has givem himself up to the Spanish authorities, and will have the same treatment as that extended to Porro and his associates. The surrender of others of equal importance is now looked for daily. AUSTRIA. The Retirement ef the Premier Rumorede BRUSSELS, Feb, 5, 1871.
