Tue Yacut Livonia arrived in the lower bay last evening, after a stormy passage of | $wenty-nine days from Cowes. ‘ Pad “Boss” Twrev has been pronounced the “Cmwsar” of the democracy. of this city. There are a good many other democrats here who may justly be called the seizers of the age. ‘ the State universally endorse the republican ticket—and also those in the metropolis, for that matter.

Mr. Boutwells Financial Exposition aud Special : Fh ra The Secretary of the Treasury is a better partisan stump speaker than statesman in financlal matters, We have rarely seen a finer specimen of political special pleading than bis speeches delivered at Cincinnati and Cleve- land, Ohio, which were published in our issues of Friday and Saturday last. Indeed, the administration is fortunate in having several Cabinet officers possessing like qualities. Mr. Delano made an able and ingenious speech in Ohio a sbori time ago of the same character and tenor. Another Cabinet official, Mr. Robeson, it is announced, is also to stump that State. From the speeches delivered by Mr. Delano and Mr. Bontwell we may antici-~ pate what the other Secretary will say. These speeches appear to come from the same mould, and, no doubt, were carefully concocted by concert in Washington as a part of the ad- ministration business and with special refer- ence, first, to the election in Ohio, and next, to the fall elections generally. They will doubtless be widespread as campaign docu- ments, and the government presses, probably, will be kept active in printing them. With all our desire to do the administration and the Secretary of the Treasury justice tor the good done or contemplated in the manage- ment of the national finances, we cannot allow the fallacies and special pleading of Mr. Bout- well to pass unchallenged. The Secretary claims great credit for paying off $251,340,699 of the public debt since General Grant came into power—a period of two years and six months—which is at the rate of a hundred millions a year. But by his own showing tho administration of Andrew Johnson paid off in four years two handred and sixty-five millions, which would be at the rate of over sixty-six millions a year, True, Mr. Bontwell makes an insidious qualifying statement to exalt the administration of General Grant over that of Mr, Johuson, that a portion of the money obtained by the Jonson government was from the sale of war material. Woe have no data to siow what amount was realized by the sale of war material, but_it could not have been com- paratively @ Very Inrgé sum. ‘Then there was a vast amount of floating indebtedness dis- charged by the Johnson administration, The expenses of the government, too, were neces- sarily much greater than since General Grant has been President. Besides, Mr. Johnson had the enormous corrap! jobs of a bitterly hostile Congress to meet, and was rendered utterly powerless to prevent them. He was badgered and thwarted at every turn. Yet his adminis- tration, which the republican Congress and party repudiated and embarrassed, accom- plished more really in paying off the indebteduezs of the government than General Grant's has, ootwithstanding the far more favorable circumstances in which Grant’s ad- | ministration bas been placed. The figures from which we make this deduction are Mr. Boutwell’s, and, therefore, cannot be ques- tioued as far as the Comparison goes. On the last day of July, 1865, he says the ascerlained public debt was $2,755,995,275. This was when Mr. Johnson was in the Presidential chair. On the first of March, 1869, when Mr. Jobnson went out of office, the debt, as Mr. | Boutwell shows, was $2,491,399,904. Now, } considering that the burden of taxes has been | kept up—for it is only through the acts of the last Congress, which now begin to operate, that taxation bas been reduced—and that the War Department and every other depart- mevt of the government needed much less moncy than in the former administration, we think Mr, Johnson did as well as General Grant, or better. But, after all, what credit is due to any ad- ministration for paying off the debt when the money is wrung from an overtaxed people and the revenue comes in like a flood at the rate of four hundred millions or soa year? Mr. Bontwell could not help paying the debt unless he had thrown the enormous surplus revenue that came to his iands into the sea. The real question at issue is, has the Secre- ‘tary made the best use of the means ! at his disposal? Tle has kept over a hundred | miltions of unproductive capital locked up in | the Treasury all the time, which, had he used | properly, would have saved to the nation since | he has been in office twenty millions of dollars. Then he attributes a part of hia debt liquida- | tion and his financial success to what he terms ~ | the appreciation of the government credit by ; making the whole debt payable in gold. We | will not here diseuss the specie paying or reenback paying policy, for we regard this | matter as settled by the action of the govern- ment; but we may inquire whether a larger | amount of the public debt would have been | liquidated or not had the five-twenties been made payable in legal tenders, as Thaddeus | Stevens and other siatesmen claimed they should be paid, The national creditors would | ave had no cause to complain and would | | have been well paid had the five-twenties been liquidated in legal tenders. It would have been undoubtedly according to law, and the creditors would have received much more in principal than they loaned, We think the debt would have been reduced several hun- | dred millions more than it has beeo reduced had the policy of Thaddeus Stevens been car- ried out, We thinks, too, that instead of im- pairing the credit of the government that would have risen under a larger reduction of the debt and a uniform legal tender basis. Mr. Boutwell’s policy hae foreed us to a specie basis nominally, while thé cur- rency is depreciated to the benefit of the bondholders and loss of the taxpaying com- munity, Indeed, we know not when we can | reach a specie basis under his policy, The drain of gold will continue, and increase from year to year, It is doubtful if we have in the | millions of coin, while there is seven hundred millions of currency. disproportion will grow greater, for the drain augments continually in spite of the produc- tion of our mines, debt Mr. Boutwell has failed. Out of the fifteen hundred millions of five-twenties to be funded he has only been able to dispose of | two bundred millions of five per cents, if, The probability is the MHW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, UUCTOBER Syndicate, which, by the by, he does not even name in his speech, three months’ inlereston a hundred and thirty millions, Thus this favored Syndicate, or, in other words, a few favored bankers, are given one million six hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in addition to the one-half per cent commission to do what the Treasury conld have done as well or botter. It is not certain yet that this Syndi- cate will not fail, and in that case the govern- ment would undoubtedly be the loser. The Secretary is doing his utmost to save the speculators, but circumstances may prove too powerful for him and them. At all events it is a great job at the expense of the Treasury. As far as Mr. Boutwell’s promises go to re- duce taxation and the yearly amount applied to the liquidation of the debt they are good enough, but it remains to be seen if he andthe party will carry out what is promised. We have urged this policy over and over again upon the administration and Congress. Let us hope the present talk about reform may not be an electioneering dodge. The truth is the policy of the republican party and Mr. Bout- well is to keep up taxation and a large reve- nue as far as possible in order to afford pro- tection tothe manufacturers. The Secretary said nothing about onr shipping interests, which continue to decline from year to year. In the foreign trade of the country the Ameri- can tonnage is scarcely over half that of for- eign tonnage, and is becoming less-relatively every year. Of this Secretary Boutwell and the republican leaders have little or nothing to say. Were it not for the wonderful resources of the country and surprising industry of the people Mr. Boutwell would find himself in an embarrassing siluation, Whatever good he may have done has been forced upon him, As a finance minister he is incapable and o failure, ieee Tour of King Amadous Bolstcring Up menage tte Monarchy, 202,” The Baie aoc gable despatches from Madrid show that the managers of the Spantsh monarchy are striving earnestly to render the star actor of their company, the young King Amadeus, popular with the people over whom he has been calied to rule. The provincial tour which has been arranged for him, and which is now being made, is managed with an adroitness and enterprise worthy of profes- sional showmen, and, according to the glowing accounts of our special correspondent who accompanies the royal excursionists, it seems to promise success. The latest and probably the best hit in the programme. has been achieved in the visit to the home of General Espartero, and in the little speech which that old hero addressed to his imported sovereign, “If the enemies of the country endeavor to destroy its liberty and independ- ence,” said he,-in a gush of spontaneous enthusiasm, “‘let the youthful monarch place himself at the head of the army, and I and my comrades in arms will follow him.” We are told in our special cable despatch that this outburst of loyalty bas created a sensation and ‘‘will materially aid the cause of the monarchy,” but we may take this opinion with some grains of allowance. Tremendous success and un- bounded enthusiasm are stereotyped phrases in the descriptions of most public exhibitions, and it is easy to fall into the common habit when resting under the subtle influence of a grand display. Espartero’s honesty is well known, and his patriotism, from his own point of view, is undoubted. When the crowa of Spain was at his foot he re- fused to place it on his head because he did not believe that be could wear it with advantage to his couotry. But he bas from the first been the friend of Amadeus, and it is precisely because there are so many Span- iards who do not think that the liberty and in- dependence of the Spanish nation. are securod by calling a foreign Prince to ite hend that we are disposed to doubt whether the generous words of the old hero will really have the ef- fect to strengthen the cause of the young King. The working of republicanism in Spain is secret and steady. Its champions are un- wearying in their labors, and there is ample evidence of their power in the immunity that has attended many of their boldest acts. The efforts of the monarchists to gain popularity for King Amadeus is in itself a proof of their uneasiness as to the future. The King is no donbt chivalrous, as are most of his race, and may have in him the elements to win the esteem of mea. But he has a difficult anda dangerous task before him, and it will take more than the brave and loyal words of an old soldier to place on a firm basis the throne’ of Spain, whose occupant is not of Spanish blood. Tur Pacirication or Cuba is complete. According to our special despatch irom Havana telegraphic communication has been re-estab- lished between Puerto Principe and the capital across the territory called the Camaguey, which, until lately, was the seat and last stronghold of the insurrection. — It is evident that the Spanish authorities now reign supreme in the island, for they could not keep the tele- grapic line to Puerto Principe for an hour in working order if the country were not free from insurrection. The struggle in Cuba, never a real warfare as recognized by civilized nations, had of late degenerated into mere rourder and incendiarism on the part of the Cobans, to be invariably followed by cruel re- taliations on the part of the Spaniards. Now { toes the insurrection bas been, subdoed the liberal government of Spain will probably be disposed to right the just grievances of Cuba and thus prevent the reopening of a struggle which has desolated for three long years the Gem ot the Antilles, } A Great Cacm has failen upon the Magsa- chusetis Puritans since the blessed defeat of | General Butler at Worcester.

One by one the many musical attractions promised us in the beginning of the season, are being unfolded, and the public are nobly responding to the exertions of our numerous impresarii. To-night the doors of the A: siomy of Music will be thrown open for the English Opera season, and Mme. Parepa-Rosa will easay for the first time the sparkling réle of Maria, in “The Dauzhter of the Regiment,” with a strong cast to support her, consisting of Tom Karl, the new tenor; Mr. and Mrs. Aynsley Cook and Messrs. Ryse and Hall. To-morrow evening will be devoted to “Martha,” and on Wednesday Mile. Clara Doria will make her American débi¢ in ‘‘The Bohemian Girl.” Mlle. Vanzini makes her bow next week in Balfe’s beautiful opera of “Satanella.” The season opens with the most flattering prospects of success, as the company is an extremely strong one, and the people are all on the gui vive for opera, - The success of Wachtel, the German tenor, has been of a character unprecedented in the annals of opera in this country. He came bere unheralded, and, to the mass of theatre-goers, unknown. He made his first appearance under the disadvantage of a very limited musi- cal education, for operatic singing at least, and the burden of neatly half a cen- tury in age. Yet his phenomenal voice, which bas no living rival in Europe or America, and bis excellent acting, overcame all obstacles andcommanded such a recognition from the public as has rarely, if ever, been accorded to an artist before. Three thousand dollar houses speak in eloquent terms of the faror created by Wachtel. He appears this week in “Martha” and ‘Fra Diavolo,” and next week in his greatest réle, Arnold, in ‘‘William Tell.” The next musical attraction will be presented to us on Monday, October 9, when the English ballad troupe, consisting of Miss Eaith Wynne, Mme. Patey, Mesaré. Santley, Cummings, Patey and Sloper, will make their first appearance at Steinway Hall. Of these artists Santley is the bright particular star, and bag sung for years in London without meeting a rival wortny gf dim, After the English opera, which lasts three reeks, comes the Swedish nightingale, Christine Nilsson, whose appearance in Italian opera is as anx- iously looked forward to as was the début of her fair prototype, Jenny Lind, at Castle Garden many years ago. Then our young countrywoman, Mrs, Moulton, whose singing created such a sensation at the soirees of the Empress Eugénie, also makes her début in a few days at Steinway Hall. Her voice and school of singing have been so ex- travagantly praised by the best composers and critics in Paris that we may predict for her a success of no ordinary description in musical circles. Meanwhile Thomas has taken his magnificent orchestra to the provinces, and Bullman has already won the most substantial acknowledgments of the popularity of his Vienna Lady Orchestra by crowded houses in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. After a long sleep the Philharmonic Society are awake and have their prospectus in the field for their six conceria, There are rumors of another Italian opera company in the field, but nothing is decided as yet about it. It will be seen, therefore, that music entirely over- shadows the drama and other amusements this season. About Christmas we may begin to look out for managerial wrecks, as the field ig rather overcrowded. Already two of the minstrel troupes bave gone down with all hands on board, and they will likely have more companions in misfortane before many months are over. Tax ALGERIAN INSURREOTION.—Late ad- vices have it that the Algerian insurrec- tion is creating trouble on the frontier line. of the territory of the Bey of Tunis, This is not much to be wondered at. The French forces are putting down the insurrec- tion, and the insurgents, naturally enough, are roshing out of the way. What a pity it is that the north of Africa, which at one time was so grand, so powerful and so full of wealth, should have for so many centuries been a mere waste! Time was when Carthage was the rival of Rome. Time was again when the Moors made the same regions flourish, and when they threatened to become the masters of Europe. It is a shame to the civilized Powers of Europe that the southern shores of the Mediterranean should remain a barren waste, What they once were they must yet become, The mutual jealousy of the Euro- pean Powers alone stands in the way of a re- sult which must be reached sooner or later, “On, Waat A Fati!”—The fall in the de- mands of the lenton-Greeley faction, They went up to Syracuse resolved that nothing should be said in the Convention platform about General Grant; that the Conkling-Mur- phy men should be turned out; that Mr. Greeley should be brought to the front, and that the President himself should be put in a back seat. But, with the turning of the tables upon the Fenton-Greeley men, they accept the situation, the State platform which glorifies General Grant and ignores Mr. Greeley, and the State ticket chosen by the Conkling-Mur- phy men. But there is one point upon which the Fenton-Greeley bolters are inflexible and another point upon which they will accept no compromise, They will have ihe head of Col- lector Murphy at all hazards, and they will have their revenge upon Senator Conkling. What » model of patriotism, amnesty and philanthropy is Mr. Greeley as shows up at Syracuse! ‘‘Ob, what a fall was there, my countrymen!” Srorm AND SHIPWREOKS ON THE Britis Coast.—The cable news telegrams from Lon- don which appear in the Hera to-day bring melancholy confirmation of the extreme vio- lence of the storm by which the coast of Great Britain has just been visited. Steamers and ‘sailing vessels were wrecked or | disa- bled, with all chance of aid to their drowning crewa cut off by the force of the gale,” Sixteen porsons perished in the Hum- ber by the foundering of a Sunderland steamer and an Italian brig. Telegrams from Grimsby supply harrowing details of wrecks which occurred in the very sight of the people on shore, An American shipmaster, the com- mander of the Bertha Thayer, was swept from the deck of his vessel and lost, and the ship forced to put back into Penarth Roads, Apsournen~-The mutual admiration Com- mercial Convention at Baltimore, Z, ISTL—TRIPLE SHEEY. Tho Sermons YesterJay. “Remember, man, thou art but dust.” this spirit, if not in these very words, was the missionary adjuration addressed to the Chris- tian congregations of New Yor yesterday from the palpits and altars of the metropolis |: of America, The words of warning were re- peated in the suburban temples and re-echoed in the churches of Washington and other dis- tant municipalities. They were spoken by the clergymen with the single apostolic object of weaning the minds of their hearers from a love of the things which are of time and flect- ing, and thus fixing their thoughts on matters which are of the other world and eternal. This consoling conviction is made patent by the ample reports of the church services and sermons which are published in the columns of the Hxzratp this morning. It will be seen that the clerics have put away all the little bronchial affections and gastric irritations of the watering places with a will, donned the surplice and the stole with excellent grace and @ quiet but resolute fervor, and again com- menced to assail the arch enemy of the souls of men with a degree of energy which is highly creditable to the successors of Paul as he labored in the vineyard of the Lord after his miraculous conversion. Such, and in sach direction, was the work of the anointed trum- peters of the words of Heaven by giving invita- tion to repentance for the sins committed’ in the flesh, words sent forth in a voice so loud as to assure sinners, of every degree and grade of criminal lapsus, that the watchmen sleep not on the walls, however the unfortanates themselves may attempt to stifle the accusa- tions of conscience or to close their eyes against the consequences of that future judge- ment which is unerring as it is unalterable. Rev, Dr, Morrill Richardson was after the “city thieves” again, He interpreted the text, ‘Oh, house of David, thus saith the Lord, execute judgment in the moraing,” with all the acerbity of an old true. Jew England “blue light,” toned dowa 'S little by pootry, sentiment 42d the Tefining influences of the voice of a mag- nificent choir, The Doctor was exceed- ingly dangerous to the ‘‘Ring” men notwith- standing. The Baptists dedicated a splendid new church on Park avenue, Rev. Dr. Ander- son giving glory to God in words appropriate to the event, The Irish Methodist Conference furnished an eloquent missionary laborer in the person of Rev. Thomas Guarde, who deliv- ered a really eloquent sermon in the Cen- tral Methodist Episcopal church. The Cathedral, St. Francis Xavier's and other churches of the Roman Catholic order were made resonant during the morning with the most sublime strains of sacred music, the rev- erend fathers subsequently exhorting their flocks with their usual energy and in telling words of pulpit oratory. But ‘‘greater far than this, than these, than all"—to the hearts of thousands at least—the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was at home. He appeared in Plymouth church. He stood on the platform (not pulpit or altar), smothered almost in flowers, surrounded with velveta and rich cloths, smiled on by sunny eyes and cheered by church music—joyous, robust, and giving joy. His sermon was quite refreshing, strengthened as he has been in body by the use of salt water and pure air. The text was, “Bat my God shall supply all your need, ac- cording to His riches in glory, by Christ Jesus,” Mr. Beecher did full justice to the sentence, drawing his hearers still closer to himself and thence directing them heavenward by words of sympathy and encouragement, instead of the language of severe aot a heartening reproof, Rev. Dr. Newman, o c ‘ethodist Epis- copal church, preached in Washington, taking for his text, ‘A hoary head is a crown of glory if it be found in the way of righteous- ness.” The reverend gentleman drew some excellent every-day deductions from the words, but, as will be learned by the Herap telegraph report of his sermon, they were scarcely equal to the beauty and gloriously simple sentiment which is expressed in the Bible. It will thus be seen that the reverend pas- tors were diligent and animated at all points yesterday, and that vast progress must have been made in neutralizing the dark work of that vengeful Spirit of Evil who knows no rest io the land—more particularly about election time, Cuorera RavaGE IN CONSTANTINOPLE.— A cable telegram from Constantinople, pub- lished.in the Heratp to-day, reports the sad fact that the cholera has invaded the Turkish capital in its gaunt strides through the East- ern countries, Its first effects have been of a very fatal character. Seventy persons died of the disease last Saturday, The weather was extremely hot, and the supply of water in the city scanty, as usual, so that two causes most favorable to the propagation and contin- ued duration of the epidemic were present. We ragret this exceedingly, more particularly as the poorer classes of'the Turks in Constan- tinople have suffered 80 severely of late from confiagrations and other calamities. The health authorities here will doubtless make due note of our news advices, “Tue Youna DeMooracy,” acting upon the time-honored maxim that ‘‘Tammany’s diffi- culty is Ledwith’s opportunity,” are coming to the front_in fall regalia, war paint, beads, feathers, brass bultond, Yealps"Nnd scalping knives, tomahawks, rifles and revolvers. Their war whoop is ‘Down with the Ring!” “No more repeating and false counting!” “No more swindling and stealing!” ‘Down with Tweed!” ‘Down with Sweeny!” ‘Down with Connolly!” Down with Hall!” “Down with them all and their confederate robbers!” “Down with the rascals and thelr rascalities, and up with honesty and honest men!” “Equal rights and no swindling!” ‘‘Hurrab for Jackson!” Against this terrible war cry from the braves of the ‘‘Young Democracy,” as they charge along the whole line, Tammany must go down, as of old the blowing of the rams’ horns brought down the walls of Jericho, for the age of miracles has evidently come again, OctopEeR opened yesterday beautifully and full of promise, It was a lovely day for our churches, and Fifth avenue bloomed in beauty like a flower garden. But what will the month bring forth in our political affairs? Two days hence the democracy, in solemn conocil at Rochester, will have their hands fall, for that Convention will be “big with the fato of Cesar (that is, ‘the Boss’) and of Rome. m| THE CHUNEY CONTROVERSY. Efforts of the} edith Bishops to Preveat a Schism. INTERVIEWING HR, CHENEY. Bishop Whitehouse Urgea Modify His Sentence. CuicaGo, Oct. J, 18TL ‘The correspondence which took place some months since between Bishops Lee, of Iowa; Whipple, of Minnesota, and Whitehouse, of Mlinois, in relation to tho trial and degradation of Rev. Charles Edward Cheney, is published in the 7/mes this morning, ant makes three columns and a half. Number oue isa letter from Bishop Whipple. to Bishop Whitehouse, in which he says:—Feeling tne deepest sorrow at even a possibility of any schiam in the Church, he concluded to come to Chicage and have an interview with Bishop Whitenouse. At his request Bishop Lee, of Iowa, came with him. They found Bishop Whitehouse absent from the city. They then held an interview with Mr. Cheney, whicn lasted tnree hours. Of this ta- terview Bishop Whisple says:—The arguments which 1 uscd were the blessed doctrine of unity tn the Church and our relations as brethren; the love which ought te bind Christian hearts; the readines# to give up our free will-everything for Ubrisi’s sake; that he had the example of eminent evangelt. cals in the use of words; that he must admit that our blessed Lord said expressly that these children might be admitted to the Kingaom of God; that Kingdom of God, which was the net and fold, was the-visible Churek.

The Church generally, ad tar as I can judge, looked only for a sentence of oflicial admonition, the future to take care of itself so far as anv repetition of the offence was concerned, and especially as tus was the first trial of the kind in the United States. Mr, Cheney intimated to us that hia disregard of the sentence of suspension was occasioned by its conditions, —_witt which he could not comply. At the close of nis letter he says, “I may add here that notwithstand- ing own freedom from scruples in regard to the oftice in quesuion, I am strongly in favor of alfording some degree of relief to those who feel that they noed it and must have it, and I believe it is very ible fo grant such reliel without any real compromise of the doctring of tae Church.
