If the claims are good they will not suffer from a ventilation by Con- gress; if they are not all correct, so mach the better for the Treasury. That, in a business view, is all there isin the case. Tse Cupans IN Tats C:ty are divided into two camps—the Aldamistas and the Cassa- fistas. It appears that the organization of the former bas been broken up, for their leader, Sefior Aldama, has published a card in one of the Spanish papers in this city dissolv- lng bis connection with the party of the insur rection. Tue Satem (Mass.) Gazette says there is vo doubt whatever that Ben Butler was a party to the understanding that if Dr. Loring with- drew as a candidate for Cofigress in Butler's favor the latter would help him to the Gover- ship. This statement is entirely supereroga- tory. No one believed the denial when Butler made it. It was the clumsiest piece of political chicanery that the hero of Dutch Gap ever engaged iu. Tae CrvurLest Deceiver whose exploits we have yet had occasion to chronicle is the clerk Bloomfield, who, according to the affi- davit of the wronged woman in Essex Market yesterday, made love to a blooming and trust- ing cook of forty years, borrowed her savings to prepare a house for her reception after mareiage, and then married another and a younger woman. What can be more harrow- ing to a well-regulated woman than to pay for the bridal outfit of her rival? Tue Stave Trave Sit FLoveisnine Nn Cusa.—On Monday next, it is given out, the committee of the British House of Commons apon the slave trade will examine the British Consul from Havana, relative to the recent land- ng of cargoes of slaves on the island of Cuba. From this it would appear that the African slave rade still flourishes in that island. The sub- ect is certainly worth a line or two of instruc- ions to General Sickles at Madrid; for this \frican slave trade has become a common uisance to the civilized world and it ought > be abated. Tus News From Mexico.—The special espatch which we print this morning from 1¢ Heratp's correspondent at the city of ‘exico fails to reveal the harmony and good ill which ought always to prevail in a repub- an country after a Presidential election. It not yet certain whether the election of the resident will pass to Congress, and it is even ore uncertain whether a majority of the embers recently elected to that body will vor the re-election of Juarez. Both parties e confident, and in their confidence is the eatest danger to the future peace of the intry, especially as some of the jourpala are easy preaching revolution. Corraptioe—Let Us Fair Play. One of the abominations of our political system is the facility with which corruption creeps in and tarnishes otherwise good reputa- tions. This, unfortunately, is not confined to one party or to another party, to this class of men or that class of men; but the virus of official peculation, once introduced, spreads until finally nearly the whole body politic be- comes inoculated with the disease. Of course, there are many notable exceptions to this rule, and it would be a pity if there wore not ; other- wise our country would go rapidly to per- dition. But while conceding the fact of the presence of corruption in official quarters, we hold to the principle that fair play should gov- ern the actions of those who undertake to make exposures of alleged municipal dereliction, It is in this spirit that we protest against the Times laying upon the shoulders of the present city government the notorious shortcomings and misdemeanors of its predecessors. That there have been stu- pendous frauds in connection with the con- struction of the New Court House no one will deny who looks upon the incomplete condi- tion of the building at this day and reflects upon the enormous expenditures that have already been lavished upon it. That exces- sive overcharges have been allowed, that in ferior articles have been furnished and paid for at firat class rates, that the several con- tractors have considered the building a fat goose, which was presented to them for pluck- ing at their leisure, cannot, we think, be truthfully gainsaid, But let the saddle be put upon the right horse. Tammany Hall has sins enough to answer for without being obliged to bear this extra burden. A little investiga- tion into the real facts of the case will show that to republican legislation are the people of New York city and county indebted for a vast amount of the peculation that is charged in regard, not only to the Court House building, but to the rental and fitting up of armories, the furnishing of new public offices, and in other respects. The Legislature at Atvany has done ali the legislation for the city, until within a year, for a long time past. Its efforts have been seconded by a non-par- tisan Board of Supervisors—consisting of six democrats and six republicans—until the new city charter, by which the old Board was abolished, went into effect last year. To hold Mayor Hall or Tammany Hall responsible for acts committed or depredations connived at before they came into power under the re- form charter is unfair and unjust. The Board of Supervisors, exercising control of the affairs of the city, under the fiction of a county or- ganization, provided for the New Court House, the armories, &c., and they, with the republi- can Legislature at Albany, should be held ac- countable for whatever spoliation upon the city treasury has been committed according to the allegations preferred by the Times. The fact is there is really nothing new in the Times’ controversy with the city officials, except its startling type and head lines. The matters referred to by it occurred in 1868-9, Have when the extravagance of the Supervisors and some other officials was exposed by the HERALD, a paper which even at that date pro- tested against the action of the Board in squandering the public money and demanded that the Board be abolished. At that time the Times defended the Board, while the 7'ribune discussed the matter in a milk and water style. The millions of debt heaped up in those years from the Court House and the expenditures for armories and drill rooms were all com- mented upon in the aggregate by the Heap. The Zimes is now splitting the millions up into fractions and doing sums in addition for the purpose of elongating the sensation and amusing its subscribers. Except in promising to give the people all the information at his comm and, we hardly think Mayor Hall was justified in allowing himself to be drawn into the fight. He was elected in the autumn of 1870, and all these alleged enormities of former years were brought up against him and Tammany at the reform meetings of that day. They formed the basis of the Young Demo- cracy and rep ublican coalition against him. The people voted for him and his alleged associa tes of the ‘“‘ring” with just as much knowledge of the charges as they have now. This rak ing up in detail and fighting over dead financial issues and past alleged rascalities is puerile and nonsensical, especially when the field was gone over by the Heracp at the time they were supposed to have occurred. And as we said then, so do we repeat now, that peculation in official places should be promptly exposed and those guilty of it be held up to popular conte mpt and scorn, But the old Board of Supervisors, which should be first arraigned, is dead and buried; the new charter killed it, and with it were buried the history of many of those schemes of private profit and personal aggrandizement the resurrection of which seems to have quickened into vitality our usually composed and phlegmatic contempo- rary. The Legislatures which misgoverned our city for so long a time are also things of the past, and to rake up their decaying bones at this late day is a sin against humanity. Let the dead past bury its dead. There are frauds and corruption continually at work in both our federal and municipal governments, and if the Times would lend & hand in sweeping venality from the halls of legislation, both here as well asin Albany and Washington, it would be doing good service in the cause of official reform. But whatever it is inclined to do, let fair play be its guide. Let it apply the birch of correction upon those shoulders best en- titled to bear it, and it will find, we venture to say, that its own political friends will come in for a good share of the smarts inflicted by its chastening rod. ‘The News from Spain. The programme of the new Spanish Opbinet, as given in a special despatch to the Her ap from Madrid, is a promising one; but new governments are often rich in promise and poor in performance. We are, however, hopefal that Sefior Zorilla, the President of the new Ministry, will carry his utterances into practice. He is known as a just and liberal man. In the dark days of Bourbon misrule he was among the foremost champions of constitutional liberty, and if he remains trae to his past career, and the reactionary elements in the Cortes do not thwart him, there are good prospects of pros- perity for Spain, Beyond dispute reforms are needed in Spain, but most of all financial re- NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1871. Ef trenchments; and these we earnestly entreat and advise Sefior Zorilla to begin at once by stopping the nefarious slave trade in Cuba. England has already lost patience with the lukewarmness of the Spanish government in that direetion, and the United States fay fol- low suit, It is bad enough to have slavery at all in Cuba, but worse still to imoreage and perpetuate the evil by new additions, The programme further announces that the com- plete pacification of Cuba must be achieved, cost what it may. The Cuban insurgents will do well to take warning. They have tried conclusions and they have failed. Further resistance will only add to the sufferings of their unfortunate country without obtaining any material advantages for themselves. The Lessons of the Persian Famine. We publish to-day a lengthy special de- spatch from London in regard to the horrible famine now busily working its fell mission of misery and death in Persia. The details are too appalling to be easily credited; but even a slight familiarity with the revolting recklessness to human suf- fering that marks Oriental rulers is sufficient to convince us of the probability of the terrible picture that our correspondent has so vividly drawn. ‘‘Men with hearts of stone and features of brass ;” wretches so utterly selfish as to be dead to every sentiment of sympathy and kind- ness; monsters inured to every form of pain and want and cruelly—this is the correct de- scription of the fiends who wield an iron sceptre over the groaning millions of the largest of the five continents. Foremost among all the beneficent features of modern civilization is the utter absence of these horrible massacres by starvation that stain alike ia the past and the present the sway of Eastern despots. We may surely make this ‘boast without incurring the reproach of national vanity. These hideous orgies of famine and pestilence we may with- out complacent boasting charge to the account of reckless misgovernment, and not to that of a beneficent Providence. Communists may endeavor to substitute science and knowledge for religion; but in our happier lands these things go hand in hand, and we remember with pleasure that the enemies of law and order must go to non-Christian governments for the worst examples of the horrors of fanaticism and tyranny. Our telegram shows that this famine, like all others, might have been prevented by the foresight of a thoughtful administration, Even after the accumulated stores of provisions were exhausted the government made no effort to replenish them. Let us suppose that by some awful calamity our own people had been placed in a like terrible danger. Thanks to our perfect means of communication both with the outside world and throughout our own land, succor from more favored countries would have been hurried to the scene of suffering with a promptitude that would have chal- lenged the admiration of the entire world. It is almost absurd, however, to cherish the hope that the Shah will be taught even by this terrible lesson to embrace the teachings of civilization. Mussulman preju- dice is too crass and embittered to be con- quered even by what many would regard as a judgment of Providence. These lands are, indeed, absolutely beyond hope, unless a Christian Power, forced by the exigencies of ambition, pierces them with the railroad, as it has already done with the more frivolous abomination of the telegraph, and imposes upon them, even in the teeth of the Koran, the blessings of modern civilization, they may languish for ages inthe pangs of a painful death in life, the monotony of which will only be relieved by grim horrors such as that which we to-day record. A Cor ist Colony for Arizona. By special telegram to the New York Heratp we learn that the French government has given its assent to a scheme which will draw from France a large number of the Com- munist prisoners. The readers of the HeraLp will recollect that a short time ago we pub- lished an announcement that a project, of which Henry D. Poston, ex-Delegate from Colorado to the United States Congress, was the head, was being perfected. Now we learn that the plan is complete, and by special despatch and the letter of our correspondent in Paris we are enabled to furnish our readers with the plan which was suggested by an American and assented to by the government of the French republic. There are over forty thousand Com- munist prisoners at the present time at the disposal of the French authorities. These prisoners are divided into three classes—the violent class and those guilty of crimes, who are sentepced to hard labor for life; those of the dangerous class, who will be sent to a penal colony, and those who, though neither violent nor dangerous, have committed such offences as justifies the government in suggest- ing to them a change of residence. These are the people who are to come to America to help to develop the resources of Arizona and to live under the republican insti- tutions of free America. The actual num- ber coming has not yet been stated. Mr. Poston says that forty thousand can be accommodated; but we do not anticipate that anything like that number will have an oppor- tunity of casting their lot in the new colony. Should they come, however, they are welcome. There is plenty of room for them, and in the development of the resources of Arizona they will find plenty of work, and labor, too, which will reap a rich harvest, If they desire an occasional fight they will have an opportunity of testing their ability with the noble red men of the Plains, who in Arizona foot up the respectable figure of fifty thousand. By mining and agricultural pursuits, by the build- ing of railroads and through other means, the French colonists will have an opportunity of winning for themselves a competency and making in the far West a happy home for themselves and their little ones. To numbers of them employment on the projected lines of railroads through the Territory is already guar- anteed. From what we know of the French emigrants in this country at present we may form a'fair estimate of those who are expected to emigrate for Arizona. They will prove, if we mistake not, a hard-working, industrious people—just such a class as are wanted in a new Territory. Let them come, then, and under republican laws and among a free people make homes for themselves and their families, and in ploys his in visiting cattle shows and cricket matches, of the republic are now directed. the prosperity which their own industry will realize for them they will soon forget the red flag of the Commune under which they fought for the phantom and not the reality of liberty. The Latest News from France. The resignation of Jules Favre as Minister of Foreign Affairs is announced. He vacates the Foreign Office, and the position which he 80 ably filled is now occupied by M. Goulaud, one of the negotiators for peace at Brussels. While we regret the retirement of Favre from the French Cabinet we are pleased to know that his successor has already served the re- public to an extent which justifies President Thiers in calling him to take charge of the Foreign Office. Favre's loyalty to the repub- lic is andoubted, and whether in or out of office he will labor for the prosperity of France under a republican form of government, Every day gives strength to the new order of things in France. Since the late proclamation of the Count de Chambord about the white flag of his grandfather and the sword of Joan of Arc we hear little or nothing of the fusion between the Bourbons and the Orleanists. From all accounts it would appear that it has proved a failure. Napoleon, too, seems to be lost sight of, and the ex-Emperor now em- leisure time in England taking a peep at a dockyard in one place and a look at an industrial exhibition in another, and spending his days principally as a gentle- man of elegant leisure, Moreover, this kind of life agrees with him, if report speaks cor- rectly, The Empress still takes an interest in European politics, if we can credit the Paris Avenir, which say that Eugénie has written a letter to the Czar urging him to maintain friendly relations with France, This, however, may only be the friendly solicitude of a woman for a country which she loves and a people who have ever treated her well, While emperors and empresses and kings and counts are thus lost sight of by the French people, we perceive that over three hundred Deputies ‘até pledged to the prolongation of the term of Thiers as the chief executive of the nation, The cry, too, whigh at ong time was started against President Thiers, that he was only biding his time and was awaiting the proper opportunity to throw the republic over- board and come out in favor of the re-estab- lishment of the monarchy, is dying out, and it is now pretty generally understood that the President is resolved to stand by the republic and transmit his name to posterity as the Washington of France. This is a noble ambition, and we wish him well in the accomplishment of his work, The reor- ganization of the French army is a subject to which the thoughtful minds France must be strengthened, and have an army which, when the time again arrives and the clash of arms becomes inevitable, will save the tri-color from the fate to which it was subjected under the rule of Napoleon. The lesson which Germany has taught the French nation will, we feel assured, not be lost sight of. The rumor that the German troops in the vicinity of Paris are to be withdrawn seems to be devoid of foundation. Not until the con- tract be fulfilled and the moneys due at the time appointed be paid over will the soldiers of the conqueror be called home. Political Affairs in the City. Local politics are at a white heat just now. Between the Tammany misfortunes of alleged fraud exposures and the riot, the republicans think they see their way clear to victory, provided they can harmonize, are straining every nerve to attain that union and they in which there is strength. For meeting was held at night, where more this purpose. a Apollo Hall last peace and good will was exhibited than has been the case among city republicans for many a long day. It was decided to form one General Committee from all the straggling committees throughout the city, and although each one claims to be the only genuine Simon Pure republican organization now extant, a strong disposition to concede and compromise Kittle differences was displayed. Indeed, there is some probability that the republican union will be effected unless Tammany comes down with unusual liberality and scatters dis- sension again. On the democratic side the disaffection shows no signs of abatement. The Irish Democratic Union, at a meeting last night at Masonic Hall, denounced Governor Hoffman and the militia and approved the action of Mayor Hall relative to the riot, while it inci- dentally threw a bomb into the camp of Stephen J. Méany and his co-operating fire- brands. But the most significant movement of the season is the organization of German citizens, who express themselves dissatisfied with the ruling politicians of the city, and who propose to form a German party, by which the immense German vote of the city may be consolidated and directed to their own benefit. A meeting with this end in view was held on First avenue last evening, and was very enthusiastic and zealous. It was evident that the Germans mean business, and intend no longer to fritter away their political power. Under all these circumstances the republi- can party of the city may well feel sanguine. The promising opportunities which presented themselves to the democracy are being us»- lessly thrown away, and with the disaffection of the Irish and German voters the republicans need only harmony and hearty good will to bring them to the front again. Tur Two Necrozs who escaped the gal- lows by a few minutes in Virginia some months ago—the Governor having respited them after the ropes were about their necks—were finally executed yesterday. The display, though so long delayed, lost none of its interesting horrors ; for they both died hard and struggled to the full satisfaction of the assembled wit- nesses. It added something of a zest to the occasion to know that the evidence upon which they were convicted was rather inconclusive, and that many of the individuals in the crowd who were posted upon the facts of the mur- der expressed the opinion that the real mur- derers had not been t@ken. ‘Tre Saem (Mass.) Observer, hitherto one of Ben Butler’s warmest friends, can't swallow him for Governor. Butler says if he is elected he will make but ono swallow of the rumsellers of Boston, The Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruption of the Philippine Islands—What Next? From the details given of the recent earth- quakes and volcanic eruption in one of the Philippine islands, the spectacle, of its kind, must have been one of the sublimest and most terrific known for many years in that vast volcanic archipelago of the Indian Ocean to which the Philippine islands belong. As a local disaster, if the whole of the little island laid waste and depopulated by this fearful visitation had been sunk in the sea it would have been an affair of small importance to the world at large; but when we look iato the ele- mentary causes of these earthquakes and vol- canic eruptions, in connection with all the strange phenomena of the last few years, or even of the last few months, ‘‘in the heavens and in the earth and in the waters under the earth,” occurring here, there and everywhere, all round the globe—considering all these things this awful scene of thunder, fire, lava, ashes, flaming rocks, sulphur, opening chasms and streams of boiling water in the distant Philippines becomes a matter of great moment to all the nations and tribes of men upon our little planet, Within the last few months there have been disastrous floods in Australia and in other islands of the Indian seas, destructive typhoons along the Japan equatorial current, severe earthquakes on the western frontiers of China, ominous shakings along the volcanic chains of South and Central America and Mexico, and some little tremblings of the ground at yarious points between San Fran- cisco and our North Atlantic seaboard. Ruinous inundations from extraordinary rains have been reported from Oregon, while fierce simoons, almost of African temperature, have swept up from Mexico along the flanks of the Rocky Mountains, giving 105 degrees in the shade at Denver, nearly six thousand feet above the sea. Meantime a desolating drought has brought upon Persia all the horrors in their worst forms of famine and pestilence, and Buenos Ayres has just passed through the terrors of a plague which has swept away one- fifth of its late population. We mention this plague as due to atmos- pheric causes, and as therefore in tho general category of the atmospherical, electrical, fluvial and subterranean elements we are considering, in reference to these droughts and plagues, or floods and hurricanes, or earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, recently occurring in various parts of the globe. That these extraordinary phe- nomena in the physical world, including the moon in conjunction, exert a powerful influence over the minds as well as over the bodies of men, cannot be doubted. Hence the wars and revolutionary commotions and the general development of the fighting propensities of men in both hemispheres in these latter days. Men of the mildest disposition heretofore, such as Brigham Young, of Utah, have become aggressive and pugnacious. Or take the ven- erable Horace Greeley, for instance—by instinct a meek and lowly vegetarian—and what do we find him now? He hascome back from Texas armed to the teeth, aching fora fight, a thorough believer in Jeff Davis, the Ku Klux Klans and the carpet-baggers, and a real bellicose bushwacker, rampant in reference to General Grant, Senator Conkling and Col- lector Murphy. Once upona time our now fransmogrified philosopher held a loaf of bran bread and a bowl of Westchester butter- milk to be a dinner fit fora king. Now one would think he had travelled a year or two with the King of Dahomey, who eats his nig- gers, or with the fiery Toombs, of Georgia, and that he had been initiated into the Ku Klux brotherhood, and that he lunches upon tiger steaks and apple-jack seasoned with gun- powder, so terribly rampageous do we find our hitherto mild milk and water philosopher. The causes of this strange transformation are in the air. They come from these visible and invisible natural forces in the atmosphere and the earth, and the seaand the moon, of which we have been speaking. They may also be due, to a great extent, to the peri- odically recurring spots on the sun, which are now showing themselves again; for men of science inform us that these spots on the sun have much to do with the cold winds and clouds and heavy storms which have marked this month of July as the coldest and wettest July in these parts of many years. Unques- tionably, with the physical perturbations that have for some time and are still operating over the world, in droughts and famines and hurricanes, floods and earthquakes, the minds of men are affected, and nations feel these shocks, and the spirit of war is roused, in one form or another, and prevails from our West- ern Indians to New York, from New York to Rome, and from Rome to the inside barbarians of the Corea. Such are the reflections suggested by this terrible outbreak of volcanic forces in the Philippine Islands, for the causes of this calamity underlie the earth’s crust and are in the enveloping atmosphere of our globe every- where over the land andsea, The next shake may be in Japan, or at Jerusalem, or Naples, orin Peru or Mexico; but still we have our fears for San Francisco. The Southern Democratic Press on New York Riot. The Southern democratic press is begin- ning to wake up to a lively sense of the late riot in this city and its probable effects upon the national democratic party. The Rome (Ga.) Courier thinks it promises to create a new issue in politics and to disorganize the present party combinations. The radical poli- ticians are seizing the circumstance, continues the Courier, asa means of creating a division inthe ranks of the democracy, and to that end are busily fanning the worst passions of the Irish element and denouncing the democratic Governor for his order protecting the Orange- men in their right to parade in public on the 12th, “Foolish Irish demagogues,” it goes on to say, “are encouraged by this effort on the part of the republican press to foment strife, and are ranting the most furious aud bitter threats for vengeance. These miserabie fools forget that the democratic party stood forth in the days of Know Nothingism in their defence, and through its strong conserva- tive influence the rights of Irish citizens were saved, They forget that the war they are making upon Governor Hoffman is nothing but a reopening of the old Know Nothing issue, and in reopening it they are doing the very worst thing which they could do for their own safety, The principles of Know Nothiugism are not dead; ee only sleep, and it is a dangerous thing for the Irish to arouse them up again, The South stood beiore 16 as a bulwark he aed its spread, but the South now would be unanimous in its favor.” Wo hardly share in the apprehensions of our Gooraia contemporary. No one can fully esti- mate the commotion that would ensue if the old bitter Know Nothing spirit should be revived and the secret political tribunals be organized as they were in 1854-55. But the wise and conciliatory course of the leading Catholics, including the Archbishop and the respectable Irish clergy generally, on the occa- sion of the recent trouble in this city, affords pretty good evidence that the Know Nothings will not, at this time at any rate, have an excuse for the revival of their old organiza- tion, If such a thing should be attempted it would only be founded upon the crazy conduct of certain irrepressible Irish patriots who do not seem to appreciate the difference between a British dungeon and the free air of America. Governor Hoffman assuaged the rising temper of the native American belligerent element, and by his timely order above referred to prevented a disturbance of the public peace more calamitous, we venture to say, than that which unhappily occurred on the 12th instant. Tne Trarrans of this city have determined to celebrate the unity of Italy by a public parade on the 25th of August, The right of all hands to parade through the public streets was pretty thoroughly settled on the 12th inst., and so we suppose the Italians have right and principle on their side. The pro- cession will probably give offence to many Roman Catholics, who forget that the Italiana who captured Rome were as orthodox Roman Catholics as themselves, but, if so, they must stifle their feelings as much as possible and avoid the route of the procession.
