From the commentaries of the public press in all sections of the country, we see that the late extraordinary and lamentable events in this city have made a profound impression upon the public mind of the United States. We perceive, too, from the temper and the drift of the republican journals, in their discus- sions of ‘this bloody business,” that they are determined to make it a party issue in our ap- proaching fall elections, They have already pretty broadly indicated their line of attack. They intend to open a general fire upon Tam- many Hal! as the head and front of the demo- cratic party, to show that Tammany is in the hands of the Irish Catholics of this city, and that to retain the political balance of power in the city and the State embodied in the Irish Catholic vote Tammany made the surrender of American liberty embraced in Police Order No. 57, and was only saved from its enforcement by the intervention, at the eleventh hour, of our patriotic Governor. It will be argued, as it is already argued by the republican press, that there is no safety for equal rights in the United States so long as Tammany Hall holds the city and State of New York and aspires to the Presidency, through her local Irish Catholic balance of. power. Meantime, in advance of these late exciting and impressive events in this city, what was the general outlook in reference to these approaching fall elections ? From all the indications, East and West, the democracy, on their ‘tnew departure,” in order to gain a solid foothold for the Presiden- tial coutest of next year, had resolved upon a vigorous offensive plan of operations in order to carry off the trophies of victory in these coming elections, They were hopeful, too, in the general results of these elections, to find occasion for great rejoicings, and for a burning of gunpow- der anda parade of enthusiastic roosters as noisy and extensive as the cannon firing and chicken crowing which followed their unex- pected victory of last spring in New Hamp- shire. It was apparent that in their common cause against General Grant and the party in power such things as side issues, personal dis- affections and local divisions would not disturb the general harmony of the democrats in these coming elections; and it was as apparent, on the other hand, that the internal disaffec- tions and local divisions among the wrangling leaders and cliques of the republicans would operate to produce discords, divisions and apathy in the ranks of the party. The result of the State election of August in Kentucky will undoubtedly be a democratic victory ; but, in the general estimate, Ken- tucky is of little consequence, because from her overwhelming democratic majority sbe is never in doubt. In September we have the Vermont and Maine elections, and while Vermont, like Kentucky, may be compared to the handle of a jug—‘‘all on one side”—the fluctuations of the popular vote in Maine from year to year are sufficiently uncertain to be held as indicating the general current of pub- lic opinion throughout the country. Thus, in 1856 the September election in Maine, with its decisive result in favor of the republicans, was held as foreshadowing the inevitable election of General Fremont as President in November, unless the democracy could manage to save the State of Pennsylvania in October for Buchanan, By the most industrious, not to say the most desperate, efforts, they did man- age to save Pennsylvania in October by a majority of some two thousand votes, and so they saved Buchanan. But Buchanan would have been heavily defeated had not Fillmore, asa third candidate, carried off the opposition balance of power. Since 1856 the republicans have held fast to Maine by handsome majorities; but for the last year or two the temperance question and other side issues have been weakening the party, and the disastrous effects of the exist- ing tariff upon the shipbuilding interest of the State have been seized upon by the democrats in this campaign as a powerful argument in favor of the most advanced democratic ideas of free trade. At the same time, relieved of | their dead issues by their new departure, the Maine democracy were evidently preparing in this State campaign to “carry the war into Africa.” The general results, therefore, of the coming September election in Maine will be apt to show with some distinctness whether the democracy, looking over the whole politi- cal field of the United States, are gaining or losing ground in reference to the great Presi- dential contest of 1872, In October Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi- anacome to the front; and the elections in these great States, on the verge of a Presi- dential campaign, are always of commanding importance. Ohio—a State which has been ! overwhelmingly republican—has become de- | batable ground; Pennsylvania is subject to astonishing fluctuations, and Indiana is very close. In 1867 all three ot these States were substantially carried by the democracy, although in Ohio they lost the Governor. This year, from the dissensions, discords and apathy among the republicans, there was a fine opening for a democratic victory in Penn- sylvania. In Ohio the probabilities were clearly against them, while in Indiana the chances were in their favor. Unquestionably, if the democrats carry, even by default in this year’s local elections, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, they will have cause for high re- joicings. If they carry Pennsylvania it will be a great democratic gain; if they carry Obio it will be a heavy republican defeat ; and if they even hold Indiana they may count it a gain made good. It may be safely said, too, that down to the llth of July the advantages for these general fall elections were with the democrats, and | that nearly all the disadvantages were with | the republicans. The democrats, no matter how much they were divided on their ‘new | departure,” were united against their common enemy, while the republicans were cut up by personal feuds and factious squabbles, from | New York to Missouri, and from Maine to Texas; and, moreover, they were, as usual, indifferent as to the general results of elec- tions of a purely local character. Such was the condition of things down to the eleventh day of this month in reference to these ap proaching autumnal elections. The field | ome open to the democrats for a vigorous aggressive campaign against the party in power, and with this party thrown upon the defensive. there was @ prospect for jmportant_ democratic Agia and great rejoicings East and West, and for corresponding losses and de- moralizations to the republicans, But these terrible and momentous events in this metropo- lis of this month of July have changed the whole face of things ia regard to these coming Siate elections. The democracy were prepared to take the offensive in these State skirmishes; in- deed they had taken the offensive ; but now they are thrown back upon the defensive. They had opened the campaign pretty actively against General Grant and his administration ; but now they will be compelled to waste their precious time and strength in defending Tammany Hall, in explaining bow and why it was that the famous Order No. 57 was issued, and how it happened that our patriotic Governor first heard of all this melancholy business at the eleventh hour, just in time to save himself in saving the city from the disastrous surrender proposed in Order No, 57. Unquestionably the late Orange procession and its politi- cal surroundings and its bloody conse- quences and its political bearings will tend and are tending to unite and harmonize the republicans and to embarrass and weaken the democrats. It is evident that in this city and State the late wrangling and fighting repub- lican cliques and factions are beginning to harmonize against Tammany, and that they will not only make a bold push to carry our State Legislature in November, but will pro- bably succeed in their efforts. Mr. John Quincy Adams has defined the Ku Klux bill of Congress as the act of a despotic power and General Grant's adminis- tration as only a little better than a military despotism. But the question involved in this New York Orange procession overshadows and supersedes the Ka Klux question, and the general political agitation of Tammany’s affiliations with the Irish Catholic vote will surely make its impression upon the Protes- tant elements of the city, the State and the Union. There would have beea no hope for the democracy had not Goveraor Hoffman interposed before it was too late in behalf of the great fundamental rights of the American people. As it is, the mischief done to the democratic party will hardly be repaired in these coming fall elections, while the vantage ground gained by the republicans so far strengthens General Grant in his administration and as a canditate for another term as to remove, for the present, all doubts upon the subject. Mr. dstove und the Right of Purchase in the British Army. The House of Lords has refused to pass the government bill which has for its object the abolition of the right of purchase of commis- sions in the British army. It was not to be expected that the old fogies in the House of Lords would act otherwise. The British army has always been a convenient asylum for the younger sons or younger brothers or nephews or cousins of noble lords. The Premier, how- ever, has fixed the aristocrats, if report speaks truth. The right of purchase in the army ‘is no right. It was originally an abuse, It has become, by toleration, a sort of privilege, It is a custom which has been winked at rather than sanctioned by law. Mr. Gladstone, it is said, has informed the Lords that he will take advantage of a Crown warrant, which Her Majesty, we take it, will net be unwilling to grant, and thus, without their consent, abolish a custom which, though con- venient to the aristocracy, is at once offensive to the great body of the peopie and unconsti- tutional. This announcement of the Premier will embitter the fight, but Gladstone means to and must win. More Bioopy Work 1x Cona.—The news from Cuba this morning is of the usual bloody and conflicting character. We have some de- tails of the landing of Quesada’s expedition near Santiago de Cuba, and of the engagements in which the Spaniards, who attempted to pre- vent the small force of Venezuelans from com- ing ashore, were severely punished by General Gomez. Then we have the usual reports of insurgents captured and shot as soon as caught; but by far the most important event, if true, is the reported surrender of General Agramonte’s secretary. These men are all fearfully untrastworthy ; but the surrender of the secretary to the Cuban General-in-Chief is an event that forebodes ill for the republic in any case. A New Mernop or Srovurmse Sympatay for Mrs, Fair, the murderess, has been inati- tuted by her friends, One of them, a woman, has made a statement to the police that she was knocked down while returning from a visit to the mother of Mrs. Fair, and that she has reason to believe it was done by Mrs. Fair's enemies, The police doubt the story, asshe wae uninjured. It seems to be a foolish woman's weak device; and yet there is no kaowing what effect such simple stories of wrong like this may have upon the rough chivalry of the San Franciscans. Tue Starvina InpIANs OF OREGON have presented their case very touchingly to the authorities. They have sent a woman, the daughter of their chief, to Sacramento to ask food for them of the military, and she bas written a very forcible and well considered | letter to General Ord on the subject, The letter was forwarded, strongly endorsed by both Generals Ord and Scofleld, to the Depart- ment at Washington, and the desperate situa- tion of the Oregon Indian tribes is so touch- ingly depicted by this Indian woman that it is to be hoped the Department will give them some relief. J. Procrorn Kxort, who created so much fun in Congress last session by his humorous | description of the mushroom city of Duluth, is, according to the Louisville Journal-Courier, not on the high road to the United States | Senate, to which he aspires, nor to any other political haven—unless it be as ambassador from the Corncracker State to the fabulous Western mart he so pungently and glowingly photographed. Mr. Knott is not for the new departure, Heace the Louisville paper leaves him high and dry on the dead issnes beach, A Case or Hyprornosta, replete with all the horrors attendant upon that strange malady, has appeared in Hudson City, These are the days when dogs are dangerous, and the authorities should be vreparing their “dog orders.” A Scoro of pt Bi Ge A dacks acd un Imperial Jackbox. It is the characteristic of that comical toy, the jumping jack, to leap out of its box when its appearance is least expected. There are men exactly like this wicked little wretch of the playhouse, Ia every cabinet of curiosities there is some memento of these chaps, and ' even an imperial jackbox cannot be opened without displaying their ugly and grinning countenances, Take for example the notable and worthy General James Watson Webb, an old man and a travelled man, who would call with the grandest formality upon a wash- erwoman if she passed herself off for a queen. He is ubiquitous in a personal sense and omnipresent in the epistolary way. There is not a bundle of old letters in existence which does not contain some contributions from his pen, And then there is the immortal Judah P. Benjamin, who was formerly a Secretary of State somewhere. No collection is complete without a few specimens of his bold and beautiful copper- plate, Then, again, there is a firm known as Mason & Slidell, having some connection, it is generally understood, with the older house of Mason & Dixon, the partaers of which have been in the habit of sending their business let- ters all over the world, for the honor of having them filed away with those of the Count Joannes and other distinguished and tilled aristocrats. Indeed, there are about a score of people who are always writing ridiculous let- ters that the world may laugh at them. We are moved to these reflections by the batch of curiosities recently extracted from “the cabinet of the Emperor,” which we place before the readers of the Heratp this morn- ing. Nobody, except very young children, cries when the jumping jack emerges from his box—nobody need lament very sorely at the reappearance of these American jacks from the imperial jackbox. They are the same crowd of ridiculous old mountebanks who are always turning up when they are least ex- pected, and the show to-day is very like the one they have been advertising for the last forty years, The correspondence written by Mr. Harry P. Seymour, of No. 15 Canal street, New York, to ‘‘His Majesty, Louis Napoleon, Em- peror,” has nothing so funny as the superserip- tion; but we have po space to refer to this idle talk about Masonry while the rich fields opened up by Slidell, Mason, Benjamin, Gene- ral Webb and the Count Joannes are waiting for us, The latter are the great masters of the epistolary jumping jack business, and they demand our exclusive attention, Slidell always was a wonderful sort of a person, and his habit of constantly referring to himself as ‘‘the undersigned” reminds us of a most modest gentleman who always spoke of his achievements as if they were the achleve- ments of somebody else. But Slidell did not let the Emperor off so easily, but tortured that venerable potentate as ‘‘the illustrious historian of Cwsar” and bored him with a “very superior map on a large scale of Virgi- nia” because His Imperial Majesty had con- fessed to not having a ‘‘good map of the seat of war.” John was too astute, however, for even “the sagacious and comprehensive mind of the Emperor,” and he failed to get more than “marks of good will” from His Majesty. But it was the literary and newspaper peo- ple who got off the best things in this wonder- ful correspondence. General Webb reminded the Experor that it was at Webb’s table Mr. Bonaparte had dined on the evening of his arrival in New York, when the aforesaid Bona- parte was probably very much in need of a dinner; and then he proceeded to inform His Majesty that’ he had a cannon to sell—and a newspaper, The gun wouldn’t go off, and the newspaper was not worth buying, so the Gen- eral had to be satisfied with ‘‘a letter in an amiable way” from the Emperor, which Napo- leon signed in place of a check. But there were other newspaper fools besides Webb. Mr. Hiram Fuller, not unknown iu New York, wanted pap for his London journal, the Cosmo- politan, to ‘keep it from falling into the hands of the Orleaniats ;” and Mr. George W. Searle, of Boston, desired His Majesty to read his editorial article in the Post of December 16, 1863—for what purpose is not stated. And then Woodhull & Claflin, two ladies who ap- pear to have had sinister designs upon His Imperial Highness, sent him a few copies of “our Weekly,” hoping he ‘‘would be good enough to read and judge them.” They inform the Emperor that they are ‘‘making a great step forward” and ‘‘would like to secure uni- versal approbation.” There can be no doubt whatever that the Emperor didread and judge the great journal of woman's enfranchisement, and itis more than probable that it was the fear of Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews’ Pantarchy which drove him into the war with Prnssia, It will be observed that the Woodhuil & Claflin let- ter was dated June 16, 1870, and as it was re- ceived only a few days before hostilities began the war can only be attributed to a natural de- sire on the part of Napoleon to forestall An- drews as Pantarch of the Universe. In case of success he would have provided for Vic. and Tennie as he provided for Miss Montijo when he became Emperor of the French. ‘The aristocratic as well as the literary class is represented, and, we add, well represented, by Mr. George Jones. He calls himself Count | Joannes, né Jones, while the Emperor calls him the ‘Count Jones.” Jones is a great friend of the Emperor, and he is also one of the humorons outside correspondents of the Hera, treating great Bubjects as only he can treat them, When Napoleon left New York Jones walked several miles out of the city with him. For this and his ‘“‘chivalric defence of Lord Byron Jones wanted the Cross of the Legion of Honor. The Emperor remembered the walk, but be failed to make George a Ribbonman, and we believe Mr. Jones has not yet been deemed ‘‘worthy to be nominated with that Legion where bonor lives founded upon merit.” Napoleon had many American adwirers, but Jones and the Rev. John S. C. Abbott are the greatest of al of them. These would do honor to any throne, and we are glad that Alphabet Abbott's letter is not wanting in this collection. It is a gem in ite way, and deserves as big and fine a frame as ‘Arry Sey- mout’s certificate of Napoleon's honorary mem- bership of the Sovereign Sanction. The Texas business is a delightful picture from history. And Benjamin's and Lubbock’s and Oldbam’s correspondence in regard to it -WITH SU PPLEMENT, is 80 Ingenious ana so clever that we all owe Napoleon a debt of gratitude for preserving it, But the whole collection is rich and rare, It was very silly in the Emperor to preserve all this trash; but he evidently did it for the amusement of depressed mankind after his dynasty had failed, Through his care a score of epistolary jumping jacks have been able Yo spring from the imperial jackbox, and will to-day be the surprise and delight of thou- sands of innocent children son h yolous men, The British Census for AN71—Very Tater= esting Statistics, On Sunday, the 3d day of April last, at midnight, of Great Britain, Ireland, the Channel Isles and the Isle of Man was taken, and the fol- lowing are the aggregates of population re- ported as the results of this midnight enume- ration of the people:— BE ae Isle of Man, 5, Navy and Merchant at rine abroad... Army, 207,195 ‘The United Kingdom... ste eeeeee Thus it will be seen ane the popul: the British islands proper in 187Lis not much in excess of the population of the United States in 1860, and is about eight iiilions behind our population of 1870, Our increase, then, in our last decade, in spite of ‘the war,” has been about eight millions, while that of the British islands has been only some two millions or thereabouts, Immigration, to a great extent, will explain our gains, and emi- gration the comparative loases of Great Britain. From those two prolific little islands in the | North Atlantic, mere specks upon the map of world, the streams of emigration which, for two hundred and fifty years, have been going ont and peopling and building up the waste places of the earth, have, during the last decade, rather increased tban diminished in all direc- tions, to the United States, the New Dominion, Anstralia, New Zealand, South Africa, the West Indies, the East Indies, &., &e. Mainly from emigration, and chiefly to the United States during the last fifty years, the popula- tion of Ireland, which was eight millions, has been reduced to less than five millions and a half, The whole of the total increase of the population of the British islands for the last decade from this census of 1871 we find is in England, aad one-half of it belongs to the city of London, The population of London, the the greatest on the globe, in 1861 was, in round numbers, two millions eight hundred thousand; in 1871, within the police circle, it is three millions eight hundred and eighty thousand, The general increase of the population of England is due to her commercial and manu- facturing centres. Her great cilies have mostly grown and are growing rapidly, while her agricultural population is comparatively declining. Her rich landholders are becoming richer, and her poor landworkers are becom- ing poorer, while pauperism in her great cities is increasing with their population to a fearful extent, and especially in Loadon, with all its wonderful prosperity. A New York city Directory or Corporation Manual, without going turther, will explain what has become of the natural iacrease for several decade the popalation of Ireland, The canses of this transplantation we need not here reproduce. But the most remarkable feature in the cen- sus returns above given is the excess of females over males in all the British islands, from Great Britain to the little Isle of Man. Emigration will explain this excess of females, although we had supposed that the emigration of females, from Ireland at least, bad for many years been equal, ar nearly equal, to that of the males. The excess of males in the thirty- one millions of population of the United States in 1860 was 730,000, while in the twenty-nine millions of population of the United Kingdom in 1861 the excess of females over males was 877,000—an excess which is but little dimin- ished in 1871. The figures upon which we are speaking indicate a condition of things in the British islands calling earnestly for some system of emigration which will give the women concerned something like an equal chance in the matter of that greatest and most important of all the rights of woman, her right to a husband. The general subject of this British census is, in other respects, very inter- esting, and we | shall refer to it again, THe Crssto’ N OF Guinea AND THE DuTOH ParitaMEeNt.—The Upper Chamber of the Dutch Parliament has by a vote of sixteen to fifteen postponed indefinitely the farther consideration of the treaty for the ces- sion of Guinea, on the west coast of Africa, to Great Britain, A majority of ono, even an Upper Chamber, cannot be said to settle any question, The dying nationalities of Enrope have not yet subordin- ated pride to common sense. Spain will not part with Cuba, Great Britain clings to the New Dominion, and Holland, by a majority vote of one, refuses to cede Guinea to Great Britain, But Cuba mast be let loose from Spain, the New Dominion must find out for herself separate career, or become an integral part of the United States, and Guinea must ally herself in the future with Australia, the growing giant of the Sonthern seas. Guinea will be ceded to Great Britain in spite of this majority vote. in Wart Street Aximatep.—The Stock Ex- change was qnite excited yesterday, the ‘‘bulls” and ‘‘bears,” after their summer doze, getting into one of their periodical wrangles and fighting the quarrel out desperately. It is thought Dan Drew is the man who stirred up the animals by selling the ‘‘boys” some of ‘‘them ‘ere sheers.” As there hasn’t been a live “bear” on Wall street since last winter the advent of such a polar animal, suggestive of frigid cooiness in this warm weather, was very refreshing. The brokers were in doubt about their ability to take a run to the Branch or to Saratoga, but the commissions poured in yesterday, and they are in great glee.

The following letter is one of many we have received regarding the demand for the Henatp outside of the city of New York:— PHLapecruta, July 1, 1ST. To THR Epiron or THE HERALD: Owipg vo the superior ences York news agents, who now monopolize aud control the news business of this city there Was hot a copy | of to-day’s HERALD obtainable Ofteen minutes after jt arrival, at any news depot im this city, ana fabatous prices Were offered for tt, Fifty cents Wasa common figure, and at one store five dollars Was odered for one. That any such price should be charged by a newsdealer for papers upon which at the regular prices they make a fair profit is an outrage that should not be encouraged. The news agents should see that their supply is equal to the demand, aad that specalation be left to those who are not legitimate dealers. It certainly is gratifying to know that those who outside of the city desire to have full and reliable information of events transpiring in New York, as well as in every part of the world, look to the Heaton for it, and to know that they will have the Heraxp at any price. We see by this that our labors, our enterprise and our great outlay of money are known, understood and fully appreciated. Large as | the cireulation of the HeRaLp has been, of ! late it has excelled itself, aud has grown to proportions so large as to astonish those who have been satisfied with anything under a hundred thousand, This is a significant fact. It shows fully that the free and independent course pursued by the Heracp on all matters | appertaining to the public welfare is approved. ‘The masses of our people see in it a journal that is not influenced by party patronage or prejudice, They know that it takes the ground of the good of all and not of any particular class or sect. Hence it is that all must read it, To those in New York the | Henan serves as the companion of the break- fast table, and out of the city—say within two hundred miles—it is the great appetizer for dinner, The people will possess it. You find it everywhere—in the palace and the hovel, among those of high and low degree. The cost for it should place the Heratp within reach of every one, and we hope iu futare that news agents will so arrange that every person desirous of procuring a Herarp can do so at no more than the established price. Phillips on the Rampage. Wendell Phillips is out in the National Standard with charactvristic virulence on the riot of the 12th inst. He goes back to the riot of 1835 in Boston, and draws a com- parison between the conduct of Mayor Lyman in Boston then and the conduct of Mayor Halt in the riot last week in New York. The com- parison is not favorable to the latter. He proclaims that ‘‘New York is a vile city, ita private life corrupt, iis Exchange a den of thieves and its government a foul conspiracy.” He is especiilly complimentary in his way to the newspapef editors, as will be seen by the following extract from his acrid manifesto :— There is tyranny in party; the tyranny of capital is cruel, and Jam not sure that the tyrauny of labor will not be more cruel still, But the most cruel, cowardly, selfish and demoralizing of ail tyrants 13 rise of your New Wendell Riot and a times as much house beside.

Ax Ausurp Rusor,—Minister Washburna, according to a cable despatch which we print this morning, has assured the French government that no person convicted of criminal acts in Paris against the National Government during the reign of the Com- mune will be permitted to reside in the United States. We are disposed to regard the rumor as unfounded. We cannot believe that Minister Washburne would make any such statement—at least not withont qualifications, Members of the Paris Commune are in London and safe. Members of the Paris Commune, if they come here, will be safe. Great Brituin does not refuse asylum to political offenders, neither does the government of the United States. If Minister Washburne made any such statement as that which is attributed to him he must have referred to criminals of the ordinary sort; and of course we shall give up all murderers and thieves and incendiaries and forgers and the like. A Frenchman whose | only offence is that he was or is a Communist may come here, and we shall not send him back. Caprain Perry made a frank acknowledge ment of his indiscretion in publishing resolu- tions of censure against the militia before the Commissioners yesterday, and the charge against him was at once dismissed, It would. have been injudicions indeed to have thrown away the valuable services of Captain Petty merely for a wordy indiscretion, especially a# he established a new claim to manliness by his straightforward acknowledgment of error. Sergeant Quinn, who ventured to argue the right and wrong of the matter before the Com- missioners, was fined ten days’ pay. Tae Tarp Triat or Buckuovt, the Sleepy Hollow murderer, has terminated in his being. found guilty as charged in the indictment. From the conclusive nature of the testimony offered by the prosecution it is difficult to con~ ceive how a similar result was not attained when the accused was first placed on trial, The'prisoner’s crime, in killing two persons and attempting the life of a third, is one of un usual atrocity, and it now remains to be seem whether or not he will be made the subject of Executive clemency. Generat Hancocs has been nominated the Presidency by a party of gentlemen at Alum Springs, Virginia. The Lynchburg Vir- ginian says this reminds it of the meeting of the tailors of Tooley street, London, who re- solved that “We, the people of England,” &c. Not exactly, “Tall trees,” you know, “from little acorns grow”’—if not stunted in their growth, And has not Virginia long borne the reputation of being the mother of Sintes and statesmen ag well as of Pregidont?
