Tux Cape May Recartra came off yester- day, but owing to a very light wind was not an exceedingly exciting contest. The Sappho was awarded the Citizens’ prize for schooners and the Gracie for s!oops. Senator Morton is said to favor female euffrage. As General Butler somewhat in- clines to take the same tack, we should like to know if the republican party propose a ‘“‘new departure” on this question. Bowen still in prison, and his devoted wife is wailing anxiously for the pardon which she believes is signed. What the cause for delay may be is doubtful; ‘‘but hope delayed maketh the heart sick,” and it is cruel to keep her in longer agony if the document has really been prepared. Tue PresipeNt bas issued his proclamation declaring the provisions of the Treaty of Wash- ington to be laws of the land, The provisions relative to the Canadian fisheries and canals, it must be understood, however, are condi- tional on their ratification by the Provincial Parliament, and consequently do not go into effect yust vet. Foster's Counset is making every effort to procure a stay of procecdings in his case, The condemned man has but nine days more to live, unless Governor Hoffman pardons him orcommutes the sentence or a new trial is granted. The application of connsel to a Brooklyn Court for a stay of proceedings indi- cates the desperate straws at which the wretched man grasps for life. Gorp anv Ovr Crepir in Evropr.—The gold market makes strong efforts to rise now- adays, but is kept down by the wonderfal im- provement of our credit in Europe, particu- larly since the exchange of the ratifications of the Treaty of Washington. Curiously enough, the new loan is a fizzle, which shows that there is something the matter with the terms of the Joan; for the credit of the government is now fixed on a solid basis. Sucorss or JuAREz IN Mexico.—The peace- fal result of the Mexican election more than the defeat of the Lerdo party seems to hold out the prospect of quiet in that unhappy country, The HERacp’s special correspondent in the city of Mexico sends us the earliest intelligence of the result of the primary elec- tions, and informs us that Congress will probably meet on the 25th, when the Presi- dential question will be settled. The election for members of Congress takes place next Sunday. Tue Peovutiar Conpition of the republican party in New York was discussed by the President, Senator Conkling and Tom Murphy at the cottage of the former at Long Branch yesterday, What result they arrived at is unknown; bunt if Senator Fenton or Horace Greeley had been admitted to the conference doubtless they would have had more light thrown upon the very peculiar, and, indeed, anomalous mixture that now calls itself the party in this city. Tux Revier or Paris—Taz Sizer To BE Ratwev.—According to our cable telegrams the siege of Paris was to be raised yesterday. Since last September the unfortunate capital has been in a state of siege in one shape or other, The Prussians first sat down outside the walls, and subsequently the French them- selves besieged their own capital. Order being ence more restored in Paris and peace brought back with the triumph of the republic over disorder and violence, the city will be relieved of the military restraints attendant on estate of siege, and the National Assembly will therefore resume its labors in the capita) of the nation, ‘The Demeeratic Party and the Prosi- dency—A Ticket with a Cabinet which will be Hard te Beat. Chief Justice Chase and General Hancock, from their admirable qualifications and per- sonal popularity, would be a powerful Presi- dential ticket for the democratic party in 1872. Casting about over the whole field of proba- bilities and availabilities we can pick out no ticket for the democrats which, in our estimation, in prestige and strength would “hold a candle” to the ticket of Chase and Hancock. It is a ticket which, “from the jump,” would rally the democracy as a band of brothers, war democrats and copperheads, Union men and Southern Con- federacy men, high tariff men and free traders, and on the new departure it would draw heavily from the floating materials of the coun- try, and upon all the disaffected elements of the repablican camp, North, South, East and West. We have already, in several articles upon the superior merits of this splendid ticket, defined its particular attractions in the personal strength of Chase and Hancock as representative men, and we need not here en- large upon this branch of the subject. In the present condition of our political parties these two men would make the best and the strong- est Presidential ticket that can be named for the democrats, and that is enough in regard to Chase and Hancock. But this is hardly enough for the democracy, considering the heavy uphill fight they have before them. They want for this uphill fight allthe strength they can get, because they are on a new departure and don’t know where it will lead them. In 1844, when the old whig party was so demoralized and cut up by Cap- tain Tyler that it could do nothing, and in 1852, when the democrats stole the whig thunder of Henry Clay on the famous slavery adjustment of 1850, the democratic party could afford to run such an obscurity as Polk or Pierce, because the party was strong and each of its regular hold-over candidates was weak; and because with a new and obscure man, bound to no faction or section, all fac- tions and sections of the party with his elec- tion might hope to gain something. But the party is not strong enough now for any such make-shift expedient as Polk or Pierce in 1872. Not only will the crisis demand of the party a strong ticket for President and Vice President, but all the incidental supports that can be given to the ticket by the national party convention. In this connection it has occurred to us that the nomination of their Cabinet for the succes- sion with their Presidential ticket would be an excellent thing for the democrats, Of course the appointment of the Cabinet belongs to the President; but who or what is the President but the servant of the people, and, if you please, of the party electing him? Let us suppose, then, that the democrats are in national convention assembled (say in Cincin- nati, for we think those Western men of the “Pendleton Escort” bave had enough of Tam- many Hall); let us suppose that Chase and Hancock have been agreed upon as the demo- cratic Presidential ticket, and that the con- vention has passed a condition precedent designating the Cabinet which the democratic party would like to have appointed by Mr. Chase in the event of his election, what then ? We have only, then, to get the consent of Mr. Chase to this Cabinet, in order to proclaim it as the Cabinet which will come isto power in the event of the election and inauguration of Mr. Chase. And would not Mr. Chase or any other man pledge himself to a Cabinet named by his par:y in national convention in con- sideration of being himself nominated for the White House? He would so pledge himself and gladly, too, and under the same high obligations so would any other man. With this solemn compact entered into be- tween the democratic party and their Presi- dential candidate, they would proclaim their Presidential ticket, with a Cabinet, perhaps, somewhat afier this fashion :— NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For President. mon P. Chase, of Onto. For Vice President—General W. Pennsyivania. For the Cal S. Hancock, of t, in the event ol the election and inaugurat of Chief Justice Chase as President of the Unt States— John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, Secretary Of State. Jonn T, Hoffman, of New York, Secretary of te ‘Treasury. t Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, Secretary of the nterior. ; General Frank P, Blair, of Missourt, Secretary or Gilbert G. Walker, of Virginia, Secretary of the “Gfoface Greeley, of New York, Postmaster General. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, Attorney General. Would not the official proclamation of this Cabinet, with their Presidential ticket, rally the democrats of all sections, in the greatest enthusiasm, to the support of the common cause? And would it not bring over all the sore-headed republicans in the country to its support, and a great many sound-headed ones, too? And why should not the party, through its National Convention, dictate to its Presi- dential candidate his initial Cabinet? Unques- tionably, the rule applied to General Grant in 1868 would have saved him a world of trouble in 1869 in the matter of his Cabinet, and he would have been exceedingly thankfal for it, too. In our selection above given of a Cabinet to run with Chase and Hancock we have fol- lowed the rule adopted by that shrewd politi- cian and philosopher, Abraham Lincoln, in the appointment of his initial Cabinet. This rule was to gather around him as far as possible his rivals for the Presidential nomination in the national nominating party convention. Seward, Chase, Cameron and Bates were Lin- coln's chief competitors in the Chicago Con- vention of 1860, and in 1861 Seward became Secretary of State, Chase Secretary of the Treasury, Cameron Secretary of War, and so on. Now we hold this was a beautiful idea of “Honest Old Abe,” and the best of it is that, barring some bitches and breaches, it worked splendidly. Mr. Seward, for instanoe, as Sec- retary of State during our great rebellion managed to avoid a conflict with England and France, which both France and England did their best to provoke, while Mr. Chase by bis famous and popular “‘greenback’’ paper money system supplied all the necessities of the largest army in the field of modern times, the Union army, which was swelled to an active force exceeding eleven hundred thousand men before the rebellion collapsed. In adopting ‘‘Honest Old Abe's” rule as a | Oabinet maker we think we have made a splendid Cabinet for the democrats, and that each man named will, in his own State (if named in advance as one of the Cabinet of NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1871.—W the democratic President if elected), will greatly strengthen the general cause in the Presidential election. Adams, as its incoming Secretary of State, will be a tower of strength to the party; Hoffman, named for Secretary of the Treasury, will bring out all the forces and enormous financial resources of Tammany Hall, and Greeley, named for Postmaster Gen- eral, by and for the democracy, will bring over to them a powerful host of those rural district republicans whose knowledge of men and things is limited to what our venerable philos- opher knows about farming. Let it not be forgotten that in 1860 Mr. Greeley left the po- litical firm of Seward, Weed and Greeley, and fought Seward and Weed to the very last, and all because this aforesaid Greeley had not “had a show” from said Seward and Weed in their divisions of the spoils and plunder. Ard what show has Mr. Greeley had from General Grant? Not much, as Collector Murphy can testify. We are sure, then, that in submitting the name of Mr, Greeley for a position in the Cabinet of President Chase, if so elected, we hit the nail on the head ; for is not Mr. Greeley a Presidential candidate, with all the rest of the Cabinet we have suggested? Is he not in open rebellion against General Grant, and may he not be relied upon against Grant to support the Chief Justice as the democratic nominee and even as a free trader? Let Chase and Hancock be chosen the demo- cratic Presidential ticket; let the Cabinet we have named—including Horace Greeley for Postmaster General—be proclaimed as the Cabinet which Mr, Chase is bound to appoint if elected, and, our word for it, Mr. Greeley, from the ‘thayloft and cheese press” republi- cans, will bring in a host of recruits to the democratic party and the democratic cause. The Fourth Am the Mormons. The miniatare rebellion which Brigham Young has been nursing for so many years almost came to a head onthe Fourth. The Mormon militia, called the ‘Nauvoo Legion,” which is composed of polygamists, rank and file, and which represents the entire grand army of Utah and the chief military arm of the Mormon Church, was ordered to muster on Independence Day by its Lieutenant General, although the proclamation of the acting Gov- ernor had already been issued forbidding any assemblage of the polygamic soldiery alto- gether. The Lieutenant General and the acting Governor are both determined and hot-headed men, and as the latter immediately summoned to his aid the United States troops stationed near the city under General Detrobriand there would certainly have been bloody work had not General Detrobriand and some of his offi- cers acted the part of peace-makers before- hand and induced the Mormon commander to countermand his order, by informing him that unless be did so they would take the greatest pleasure in riddling him and his command with grape and canister. Mormon discretion triumphed, and the Mormon troops, instead of parading with all the pomp and circumstance that militia alone can bring to bear upona holiday parade, contented themselves with watching the less enthusiastic evolutions of the regulars, who, under cover of celebrating the Fourth, entered the city with muskets and cannon to take part in any “‘tilt” that the militiamen might inaugurate. The policy of suppressing the Mormon pa- rade is exceedingly doabtful. Itis not scemly nor politic that any display of militiamen or of people living under the broad egis of our Union should be forbidden, under any cir- cumstances, and much less when the object of the display is to celebrate the Fourth. It is rather better that everybody of all political complexions should be encouraged in its cele- bration, for outside of the distracting effects of fire-crackers and Union torpedoes the com- memoration of the day is truly inducive to patriotism and brotherly unity among us. If the Mormons have shown themselves lacking in these qualities they should have been in- vited, rather than forbidden, to make themselves enthusiastic over the glorious anniversary of our national dawn of free- dom. If any dread was entertained of a riotous demonstration or an outbreak against the government—and such seems to have been the idea—there were evidently enough United States troops on hand to put it down early in its inception. But the Mormons certainly in- tend no open and violent rebellion against the United States government. They can secure all their ends by quieter means, and doubtless do. But of one thing there can be no doubt. The proclamation of the Governor, having been issued, should have been enforced as it was, and with actual force of arms if neces- sary. Weare glad to see that the Mormon commander was the one to back down rather than the acting Governor. It reminds us that one lesson taught by our war was that our government is no longer afraid to shed the blood of its own people. It has recovered from the insane tenderness of 1861 and has had so much sterner stuff infused into its ma- terial by the experiences of our civil war that it will no longer compromise and dally with rebels. It will put them down at once with ball cartridges instead of trying to frighten them with blank.ones, Let the Mormons learn this much from their lesson of the Fourth, and if they ever contemplated open rebellion let them give up the idea, Wuy Drv Not Victor EMMANVEL Make Ir tae Fourrs?—The King of Italy formally occupied Rome on the 3d of July as the capi- tal of the Italian kingdom. Our telegrams from that city represent that there was great rejoicing on the occasion. It was a great his- torical event and full of significance. But as Victor Emmanuel came so near the Fourth of July in celebrating formally the unity of Italy and taking possession of Rome as the capital, why did he not wait one day longer and make bis entry on that glorious day on which the libertios of America and of mankind were inaugurated? We think this would have suited the Romans and the Italian people. Victor Emmanuel is a liberal monarch, and, perhaps, comes as near being a republican as a king can come, just as he came near the birthday of republi- can freedom on this occasion. Still there is a long stride to make from monarchy to republi- canism even in Italy. Perhaps it will not be many years before the Italiana will have their Fourth of July, especially if the revublic be firmly established ia France, The young King of Spain is evidently determined, if hard work and sympathy with the Spaniards can do it, to win the affections of his people, increase his popularity and give to the country which has chosen him as its King a good, secure and strong government. The task which he aims to accomplish is dif- ficalt and one full of peril, So far he has done well; but there is no denying it that he has made but slow progress in securing the popularity at which he aims. The party lines in Spain are all strongly marked, and there is a deep-seated feeling toward the young foreigner which time can not efface. The Carlists, the republicans and the adherents of the Duke de Montpensier are all arrayed secretly, if not openly, against him. Even the fallen Isabella, or the Prince of Asturias, her son, are not without friends in the kingdom. Large numbers of the clergy sympathize strongly with the Carlist faction ; and this is a power not to be despised. The recollection is still fresh in the minds of every intelligent reader of the Carlist raids in differ- ent parts of Spain prior to and after the detbronement of the late Queen. Constant announcements were made of considerable bodies of men crossing the French fron- tiers to join the Carlist bands dis- tributed all through the provinces of the Spanish peninsula, These raids had the effect of continually stirring up commotion and keeping the government in a state of feverish anxiety. What transpired then may be re- peated again by the Carlists. The letters of the Heratp correspondent in Madrid, which we publish this morning, exhibits the sad state of affairs in the capital and the increasing boldness of the dangerous classes. The repub- Iican party of Spain to-day is stronger than ever and is on the increase. From the recent con- versation which the Duke of Montpensier had with a representative of the HERALD we can judge of the estimation in which the scion of tbe house of Savoy and his government is held by his Grace and the party which clings to him. Though all these parties are hostile to the young King they are by no means friendly to each other. The Carlists are as much op- posed to the republicans as the Montpensiers are to the government of Amadeus. No fusion is possible betweenthem, In these dif- ferences there is some security, In the mean- time the young King is laboring hard to win his way to popularity by kind acts, personal attention to duty, mingling with the people and overlooking many little political short- comings. He is doing his best to establish himself in the confidence of the nation. This course so far has worked well; but will it continue? No ruler could have done better than he who now occupies the throne of Spain; but that throne stands by no means on so secure a foundation as might lead the well- wishers of Amadeus to believe that it could sustain itself against the shock of revolution. The Last Days of the Empire. The secret correspondence between the Tuileries and the Emperor Napoleon during the campaign of 1870, of which we present a translation in another column, will form the most valuable material to the future historian of the fall of the second empire. These de- spatches show how frivolously the war was undertaken and speak with a cruel eloquence against their authors. They at once give an idea of the sad want of unity in the council and conduct of the war. Orders cross and contradict one another. The Empress Regent and her advisers and the Emperor and his staff at Metz were at variance in almost everything except in the resolve to repair the disasters. The plan of campaign, if there was such a thing, was made subser- vient to the latest caprice of the Empress and her advisers, The misdirected energy of the Empress and the impotence of the Emperor shine out plainly from these despatches. The first despatch—that of the Prince Imperial to his mamma—is strongly suggestive of opéra bouffe. To this Princelet the war was only a continuation of the reviews in the Champ de Mars, and the soldiers are ‘‘enchanted,” he says. For his special military education is organized the little affair at Saarbriick, and the despatch announcing this feat of arms is communicated to the press—but not in fall—for the original outdoes in folly the ver- sion which had been communicated. He took it so cool that ‘he seemed to be promenading in the Bois de Boulogne.” These despatches acquire a peculiar significance since the last speech of Trochuin the National Assembly, whose defence, up to the 4th September, they fully corroborate, The confidential informations of Pietri on the health of Napoleon are also of historical importance. We get a clear insight into the character of the Empress. A haughty, domineering disposition, a quiet contempt for her husband, tempered with womanly devo. tion—these were the qualities that influenced her whole conduct. Tue Porrticrays of the ‘‘Hub” seem to be having a nice growl of it all among themselves about the way the Post Office affairs of that little village are being managed—or misman- aged, as the case may be. It is alleged that Postmaster Burt has used his official position to shield from punishment a reputed dishonest employé, and had two of his assistants ousted because they would not keep their hands off. The whole row may after all be onlyone of those pretty little quarrels which take place so often between the “‘ins’’ and ‘‘outs” of gov- ernment snuggeries ; bat if it should turn out to be true that the Postmaster has in any way abetted malfeasance in office he should be dealt with yustas though he had no political backers to make a stout fight for him and his mess of pottage, and had never seen Boston in all his lifetime. Tue DisturBaNces IN BrussEts.—The HeRaALp's correspondence from Brussels which we publish in another page of this morning's issue gives the particulars of the recent riotous proceedings in the streets of the Belgian capital. As is usually the case in outbreaks of this character, students had a hand in the disturbances. They took offence at the demonstrations in honor of the Pope, and disturbed the peace of the city by noisy dis- plays in the streets, At one time it was feared that a serious riot woyld be the conse- quence, but the whole affair simmered down into a row, in which cracked heads and bruised limbs were the only result ITH SUPPLEMENT. King Amadeus and His Government. Evideaces of a Progressive Demecracy= Jupaz Dowzine has heen treated tos noo- McClellas, Hoffman, Adame. The democratic party continued to tie itself to issues that had passed out of politics for so many years after the new conditions brought about by the close of the rebellion were irrevocable, that when the recent ‘‘new de- parture” was announced the radicals derided it as insincere, and even independent democrats doubted whether it would be generally accept- able. But so many democratic conventions have endorsed it and so many leading men in the party are urging it that it would now be more remarkable if the democracy should go backward instead of going forward. The evidences of a progressive spirit in the demo- cratic party are accumulating, the latest utter- ances of three leading men being especially noteworthy at this time, when, if the democracy is to succeed in the next Presidential canvass, it must prepare the way for such standatd bearers as Chase and Hancock, with a platform as liberal as the candidates. Tammany Hall signalized its celebration of the ninety-fifth anniversary of American inde- pendence by reading letters from General McClellan, Governor Hoffman and John Quincy Adams, in which this purpose was clearly declared and the evidences of a pro- gressive democracy demonstrated. We have already referred to the Governor's letter, the others being similar in their scope and charac- ter, and all enforcing the policy of the ‘“‘new departure” at the same time that they insist on the integrity of the States and of the Union. “Let us leave behind us the dead issues of the past,” said General McClellan in his Tammany letter, ‘‘and look only to the pres- ent and the future.” No misrepresentation can do away with the effect of this declaration or make it possible that it should be mis- understood. Looking a little further, we see in the letter of Governor Hoffman what it is in the present and the fature to which the party purposes direct- ing its energies. In that letter is a declara- tion that the Union can never he torn asunder, but that it must be preserved with the same wholesome principles which governed its creation, And John Quincy Adams, writing in the same vein, invoked a kindness for the whole American people as comprehensive as the Union and a love of local self-government as sturdy as the foundations of the Siates. In these letters are enunciated all the prin- ciples which should animate a political party to-day—oblivion for the past, fidelity for the present and watchfulness and wisdom for the future. The love of that local self-government which Mr. Adams counsels cannot be too often inculcated. That there is some ground for the fears Governor Hoffman expresses of a tendency to centralization of power in the government at Washington has confirmation in the Galesburg speech of Senator Trumbull, which we print this morning. Trumbull is a man capable of judging of the political ten- dencies of the times—a man of large legislative experience and great moderation on constitu- tional questions, who never opposes issues which do not exist or invokes fears of imagi- nary evils. His words show the wisdom of those whom Tammany invoked as her coun- sellors, and the utterances of the three men to whom we have referred point to a bright day for the democratic party. It would be a sad day for the people of the United States when the imperialism which would grow out of centralization should assert itself. To oppose all such ten- dencies in their incipient stages is a glorious mission for the democratic party— a mission which will keep both of our great political parties alive to the living issues of the day. Had the republican party gradually drifted into the exercise of too much power, as has sometimes been the case with its leaders, the democracy would not have been free from blame. The empires of the first and the third Napoleon would not have been possible had not the Bourbons shown that they were as incapable of forgetting as of learning. A “strong government” would sooner find advocates in the United States if the de- mocracy should cling tenaciously to the issues which are dead and persistently ignore the principles which are living, Political advance- ment is what the party needed, and we have at last strong evidences of a progressive de- mocracy. In all this there is cause for congratulation. The country needs peace and freedom from discussions which only influence the multitude without effecting any practical good. It was difficult for the democracy to yield up ideas to which it was wedded by its traditions and its pride, but it will gainin vitality by the lopping away of the dead branches and the setting of fresh grafts in the live trunk. The republican party, too, will gain in the life which is more precious to the nation than perpetual political success, and once again the country has the prospect—Grant and Chase leading the two great parties—of an old-fashioned presidential campaign after the fashion of the days of Jef- ferson and Jackson. Govsrvor CLaFLIN’s Witaprawat from the race for the candidacy of the Governorship of Massachusetts leaves the field open to three strong men—Loring, Washburne and Butler. If the Gloucester fishermen, the Irish Fenians and the strong-minded women could have their way Butler would certainly be carried through triumphantly; but as there are many voters in Massachusetts who favor the new peace guarantees with England and solid political method rather than the fantastic tricks of statesmanship that Butler calls honest politics, the Sage of Essex will probably have to content himself with representing the Gloucester fishermen’s district in Congress, The free, untrammelled rights of a Congress- man to play the gymnast and act as a harle- quin are more suitable to his cheerful tempera- ment than the sober, dignified duties required of a Governor of the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts. Geyerat Stoxies is in London and pur- poses going soon to Germany. There is evi- dently nothing of importance agitating the Spanish Cortes or the Spanish Court that the United States is interested in, such as the reported Cuban negotiations, or General Sickles would not be away from his post, As it is the warm weather and the happy idea of cele- brating the glorious Fourth along with General Schenck and the Joint High Peacemakers furnish sufficiently strong reasons for bis trip to Londom 7 turnal surprise party in London, says our cable despatch. The burglars of New York, who have a sort of sneaking kindness for the Judge, have probably notified their brethren of the crowbar across the sea of the departure of their distinguished Mentor; and those Lon- don worthies being alive to the honor of the occasion, may have sent a deputation to wait upon the Judge in their own quaint fasb- ion; or perhaps some of his old acquaint- ances who, like our politicians, have crossed the Atlantic for a change of scene, or to recruit their bealth or to improve their gen- tle art by travel, chanced to behold the beam- ing countenance of the Judge, and wished to test his much vaunted memory by intruding upon his privacy at the witching hour of night. At any rate they must have been jolly bur- glars, They could not have had a serious purpose, for the Judge “‘unaided beat them off.” Moral—That international courtesies are practised even among burglars. O'’Kz1, Tox Broker, convicted of recelv- ing and selling stolen bonds of the Norwalk Bank, was sentenced yesterday to five years in the State Prison. The crime of dealing im stolen bonds has such a respectable appear- ance about it that there is reason to believe that it is becoming very prevalent among that apparently honorable class of brokers who, while fixing up gold or stock corners to make fortunes on their neighbors’ ruin, would yet scorn to handle a “jimmy” or forge @ signature, and it is high time some example was made of these criminals. The sentence of O’Kell, who has heretofore borne a high character for honesty and has eminently re- spectably family connections, will serve that purpose fully. Personal Intelligence.

Extensive Confingra’ at Tarrytowa—Dee straction of a © fe Factory — Lees $35,000—Supposed Work of an Incendiary.
