Tae Prosprcrs or THE Granvinie-Fisu Sunrenper.—The Senate debated the Gran- ville supplemental rule to the Treaty of Wash- ington for five hours yesterday in executive session, and’ rose without coming to a final vote. Our advices create the impression that the English demands will be complied with, although there is to be some pretence, for | political effect, at alteration of the phraseology. | The surrender is nevertheless to be complete. | Yet the timidity, hesitation and cowardice of | the Sonators‘are of themselves sufficient to | prove how sensible they are of the degrading | part they are enacting. Is mae Canuist Insurrection Expep m Bram ?—We are told one day that the Carlist movement in Spain has been effectually stamped out by the King’s troops, and again, perhaps the next evening, that there has been | The Effect of the Political Convul- sions on Congress=Good and Bad Legislation. It is curious to observe the effect the political movements of the day are having upon the re- publican Senators and Congressmen who have been doing their best for the last twelve months to weaken, if not to destroy, a strong and hon- orable administration, The nomination of Horace Greeley at Cincinnati, and the undeni- able influence and respectability of the liberal convention, seem to have suddenly opened the eyes of these politicians to the necessity of car- rying out by legislation the well known views and repeated recommendations of the Presi- dent, and hence we find them in a single night rushing through the Senate such measures as the Amnesty and Civil Rights bills, which, during months of the session they have stu- pidly embarrassed and obstructed. In his in- augural address, nearly four years ago, and in his subsequent messages to Congress, General Grant urged, in strong language, the removal of all disabilities imposed upon those who took part in the rebellion. In these official recom- mendations he only adhered to the generous and wise instincts that prompted him while at the head of the army of the United States to grant honorable terms to the Confederate soldiers who lay at his mercy at Appomattox; that in- duced him to protest emphatically against an attempt to indict General Lee for treason in contravention of the conditions of surrender, and that led him, in his report on the ‘condi- tion of the South, shortly after the restoration of pence, to condemn a policy of oppression and revenge. If the narrow-minded politi- cians in Congress, who profess friendship for General Grant's administration, had faithfully carried out his views instead of following their own intricate plots and intrigues, they would have done, months ago, the work they accom- plished in last Tuesday's night session of the Senate, and they would have made it more complete and satisfactory than it now is. The Amnesty bill, which was passed in the shape in which it came from the House, was promptly signed by the President and is now alaw. It continues the existing disabilities in the cases of Senators and Representa- tives of the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses, officers in the judicial, military and naval service of the United States, heads of departments and foreign ministers of tho United States who took part in the rebellion. These will number only a few hundreds, in- eluding Jefferson Davis and John C. Breckin- ridge. The excluded are set down in the party organs as about two hundred, which is, how- ever, too low an estimate, and it is claimed that the exceptions will meet with general ap- proval. On the contrary, we regard the re- striction in the law as inexpedient and un- popular. The great value of amnesty was not that it would remove political disabilities from a certain number of ex-rebels, more or lesg, and enable them to hold office, but that it \ would bury the dead past and blot out forever | the last bitter remembrance of our civil strife. | In order to thoroughly accomplish that good work amnesty should have been complete and | | universal ; there should have been no excep- | | tions whatsoever, so that the very name of po- litical disability might be obliterated from the | constitution and laws of the country, and die | out from tho memory of men with the | | events that gave birth toit. The people now | desire to forget the rebellion and all connected with it, and hence we regard the exceptions made by the present law as objectionable on principle as well as absurd in their practical | operation. Genezal Grant has himself con- demned the policy of excluding certain parti- cipants in the rebellion from full pardon and restoration because they happened to have been previously of sufficient standing and character to be elected to prominent positions, | and he would no doubt have preferred that the law he has just signed should have been unre- stricted in its operation. Nevertheless, the action of Congress in passing the law in its present shape is a step in the right direction, for which we may probably thank the political convulsions which are evidently reminding our representatives of the duty they owe to the people. The practical benefit of the law was | made pleasingly apparent, immediately the | intelligence of its signature by the President was received in the House, by the prompt swearing in of one of the members elect from North Carolina, who had previously been | unable to take his seat on account of disa- bilities, and by the gratifying announcement that every State and district is now fully rep- resented in the national House of Representa- tives, for the first time since the commence- | | of a general amnesty law the colored citizens will find as many and as warm friends in the South as naturalized citizens now meet with in the North. Political parties in any South- ern State will then as soon think of excluding a negro, on account of his color, from any of the privileges enjoyed bya white man as political parties in New York now think of excluding an Irishman ora German from the Common Council on account of his nativity. Indeed, the chances are that political honors will before long be forced upon the colored citizens of Florida and South Carolina as libe- rally as they have for years been forced upon the Irish-born citizens of New York. There are many persons, however, who have no belief that the former slaves will ever be voluntarily accorded equal civil rights in their old States without the aid of a strong law at their backs. To such men a Civil Rights bill appears a necessity and an act of humanity and justice. But if it be so, it shonld be made sweeping and comprehensive, and not cramped and limited as is the bill passed by the Senate. It seems, indeed, from the sharp trick prac- tised upon Mr. Sumner, as if the Senators were influenced by political considerations in their action on the Civil Rights bill rather than by any regard for the measure. It is to be regretted that while thus pushing through the Amnesty bill in such hot haste, after the temporizing and delay to which it has been subjected all the session, the Senate marred its work by simultaneously passing the bill authorizing the continued extension of military law over tho Southern States during the recess of Congress. There is no danger that tho power thus placed in the hands of Goneral Grant will be improperly used, and the fears expressed by the opponents of tho administration, that the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus and the use of bayonets at the polls wil? render tho Presidential election a mockery in the Southern States, is more political rhetoric, used for effect in the campaign. Nevertho- less, tho principle, the precedent and the effect of such a law are offensive and danger- ous, Tho cry of military usurpation raised against the administration, groundless as it is, has, beyond doubt, had its effect, and the true policy of the friends of General Grant is to remove all pretence for such unfounded charges, It does not reflect credit upon a party to hold out amnesty to the Southern States with ono hand und military law with the other, and it creates the impression that tho former boon was granted only for politi- cal effect, It does not help the credit of the nation abroad or inereaso its self-respect and fraternal fecling at home, to publish to the world the belief of the Congress of the United States that the States recently in rebellion still require to be held in the strong grasp of military law, and cannot be entrusted with the great safeguard of a people’s liberties, the writ of habeas corpus. It is the honest belief of the country that tho South, if left alone, will bo as law-abiding and as loyal as the North, and it is notorious that the turmoil and trouble yet existing in some portions of the Southern States are the work of carpet- Daggers and scalawags from the North, and not of the Southern citizens themselves, Gen- eral Grant is fully aware of this, ond did not fear to publish the fact at a time when it was more dangerous than it is now to speak tho truth about such matters. [He would be tho last himself to counsel or desire the law just passed by the Senate. The House has yet to act upon the bill, and it is possible that it may not be reached, or may be defeated. It will be well for the administration if it should fail to be- come a law. General Grant is strong enough without the aid of such measures, and he would not avail himself of them under any circumstances. But the odium of their enact- ment falls unjustly upon his administration. Universal amnesty has been advocated by the President from the time of his clection up to the present moment, and its success in Con- | gress is his triumph. Let it not be marred and disfigured by the passage of a law so of- fensive and unnecessary as the Habeas Corpus Suspension bill. ‘Let us have peace,"’ New York Rapid Transit-The Bills Signed by the Governor. Now that Governor Hoffman has signed two bills passed by the Legislature which promise rapid transit to New York, we wish to see the corporations on which the proper powers have been conferred get speedily to work. The west side three-tier plan seems.a very am- bitious and hazardous experiment, but if its road on the east side and the three-tier road on the west, running fast trains day and night, at low fares, it remains to be seen whether the Vanderbilt road will not be forced, for mere profit sake, to adopt a similar scale. We may here say that we have no strong faith in any other force than that of lively competition bringing about a reduction of fares. We must not for- get, however, in the midst of our fare-y specu- lations, that not a single sod has been turned in City Hall Park and not a single brick displaced by the sky-parlor three-tier corporation. Our efforts for the present, then, must be turned to urging on those who now have the requisite authority to lose no time in giving us rapid transit in some form or another. We shall be glad to note from time to time what is being done in the matter. Heraid African Expedition to Join Sir Samuel Baker. On another page of this morning’s issue we publish a letter from the Hzrap correspond- ent sent out to join the Egyptian expedition of Sir Samuel Baker, in the interior of Africa. Some time ago, it will beremombered by our readers, it was reported that a mutiny had broken out in the exploring army, and that the indomitable commander was assassinated. Subsequent reports corrected this impression, and we have now the letter of our correspond- ent to prove that Sir Samuel and his heroic lady are alive and safely established at Gondo- koro. By the date of the letter published, the Henarp correspondent, after crossing tho Nubian Desert and touching at Berber, had arrived at Khartoum, at the junction of the Blue and White Nilo. From this point he in- tends to push on for tho expedition of Sir Samuel, which he calculated to join in about three months from the date of writing. Second only in importance to the researches of Dr. Livingstone, who by this time, in all prob- ability is on his way to the coast with Stan- ley, who commands the Hrraup's expedition sont out in quest of the great traveller, is the undertaking of Sir Samucl Baker. With a well-equipped army under his command and the munificent aid of the Viceroy of Egypt to sustain him, it is to be hoped that the enterprise will prove in every way a success commensurate with its outlay. We may form some idea of the terrible nature of the task un- dertaken from the sufferings of those who have essayed it. The rigors of climate, the ob- structions of nature and the ferocity of the un- civilized savages all conspire against the pioneers of civilization and help to keep fast bound the secrets of the unknown interior of the African Continent. The labors of the in- defatigable and bold explorers who have gone before, as well as those now engaged in tho task of learning what may bo learned and see- ing what may bo seen of the primitive lands and the uncivilized people who inhabit them, had not, up to this, been thoroughly appre- ciated by the great public of civilized nations until the press, through its correspondents, came to their aid. The works of Livingstone, Murchison, Baker, Speko, Grant, Burton and other brave travellers who have trodden the unbeaten tracks of these regions have helped to enlighten us and teach us what we know re- garding them ; but for the one who had read these works there are a hundred now who anxiously watch and learn from the corre- spondents of the great journals of the day in- formation which was previously a sealed book for them, With the idea of carrying out its great mission the Hrranp despatched two of its correspondents to Africa—one to learn of the whereabouts of Dr. Livingstone and the other to join Sir Samuel Baker's expedition in the interior of Africa. After a year of anxiety the glad news that Livingstone had been found reached us from Zanzibar, and probably by this time the Heratp’s other correspondent has joined the expedition of Sir Samuel Baker, at Gondokoro. From what we have already ascertained the Baker expedition has experi- enced the greatest hardships, and death and disease have made sad inroads in the ranks of those composing the exploring party. Poison- ous miasmata and the fierce heat of a tropical sun have dealt death with a lavish hand on all sides. With decimated ranks and reduced stores the expedition arrived at Gondokoro, there to find the Bari nation of savages ready to give the expedition fresh trouble, A month’s campaign was the result, and the savages met with chastisement for their temerity, Whether Baker has pushed on further or is still halting at Gondokoro there is no information. From The Car Question. When the public were startled a few weeks ago by the publication of a code of regulations intended to effect a revolution in the trimming and general getting up of the street convey- ances some sharp people shook their heads suggestively. They had become so used to be let severely alone by the Health Commis- sioners that they had almost forgotten such a Board existed. It was, however, shrewdly sur- mised that there was something behind that did not meet the public eye. For though poli- ticians of all shades are known to be trimmers on occasion there seemed to be no good reason to suspect them of knowing anything about upholstery. Unkind people have been offering all kinds of unsatisfactory explanations for the decree of the Board. Enthusiastic re- formers pointed to it as another proof of our rapid return to republican simplicity since the ever-to-be-remembered overthrow of Tammany. Less credulous people touched their noses sig- nificantly and murmured something about jobs, inquiring feelingly if there was any green in the Commissioners’ eyes. Rumor with her thousand evil tongues whispered that there was in existence a certain cute Yankee, not in- terested in upholstery, but who has some notion about arnew style of carseat. It is admitted on all hands, however, that the Health Board never heard of this invention. It is merely one of those coincidences that ‘no fellah can understand.” The time selected for the issuing of the orders relative to the car cushions displays a creditable considerateness for the opinions and purses of the railroad companies, Simple people might imagine that some loss would have been incurred by these corporations, but care has been taken to guard against anything of the kind. Yor the most part the upholstery of the street cars is in such a state that of necessity it would have to be removed or replaced, and, as the former is much the cheaper, it will be to the advan- tage of the corporations to adopt it. It is therefore evident that the change is not alto- gether in tho interest of the people. ‘To say the least, it is very lucky for the Yankee inventor that the change takes place at this moment. He will have a much better chance of improving his fortune, and, we hope, our comfort, than otherwise would have been his lot, The fact that he has no friends among the Commission- ers will also be a strong recommendation for him with the car companies. This reflection will, doubtless, tend to mitigate our feelings while we sufier the pangs of the bare-board experiment, and look forward with longing for some benefactor of mankind to come forth and save us from the inhumanity of ‘Health Commissioners and railroad corporations. We hope that no bashfulness will prevent the Yan- kee gentleman to whom we have alluded com- ing forward boldly with his inyention, Let there be no delay. We want to be saved from sinking into barbarism. We might have looked for conservatism from a Board of Health, but the tendencies of the present body are so subversive of what woe have been accus- tomed to regard as evidences of civilization and progress that there is no knowing where their rage for republican simplicity may end; for the argument brought against cushions will apply with equal force against coats or other superfluous habiliments. Hence we look forward with some apprehension lest we may some of these mornings find ourselves com- pelled to adopt the fig leaf or other severely primitive mode of dress in obedience to an | ukase of our Health Commissioners. The National Centennial Celebration— Information Wanted. In four years more the American republic will be one hundred years old, and the event will be joyfully celebrated in all parts of the world wherever one of her citizens can be found. The central point of attraction, how- ever, of all the different celebrations, will be Philadelphia, since it was in that city that the first grand Declaration of Independence was Fead and signed. In ordersthat the Quaker City shall be fully prepared to deck herself in gala attire for the great event a commission has already been formed to attend to the mat- | ter, The members of this Commission want money in order to commence operations, and, | of course, Congress is the most natural source to look to for the necessary funds.

Why, it is The Board of Health and the Streét| The Tobacco Quéstiom’ Among the Methodists. Tobacco is an Indian weed, It was the devil sowed the seed. Such is the device which a large party among our friends of the Methodist persua- sion have inscribed on their banner. With that wide-awakeness to guard against the wiles of the Evil One which marks the true Christian, those fighters of the good fight are resolved not to be caught napping at their post. Recognizing that the ways of wicked- ness are many, they look with suspicion and even with aversion on the treacherous narcotic weed by whose aid the Old Boy would seek to wrap their senses in oblivion. To their minds the fires of the pipe bowl are like unto the fires on the altars of Baal, and they fly from the unholy influence of the smoke incense. Unfortunately opinion is divided on the sub- ject, for weak brothers have listened to the insidious promptings of the senses and are fast bound by potent tobacco spells. No rea- son can convince these wanderers from the straight and cloudless path of unsmoked Methodism of the error of their ways, and they march on to destruction stubbornly in a cloud of their own making which prevents them from perceiving the abyss that lies in their path and is visible to their clearer sighted brothers. The anti-smokists were not inclined to be as consistent as men ought to be in the cause of virtue; for we must regard the attempt to pass a resolution recommending .“young”’ ministers to abstain from the use of the dangerous and enticing weed as @ com- promise with the enemy unworthy of such high moralists. Why abandon the aged smokers to their fate? The thought was un- charitable and unchristian. Then the younger members might well feel aggrieved that the elders hoary should be allowed to enjoy certain questionable privileges from which their more youthful brethren were excluded. This proposition very nearly produced a re volt, and though the managers of the Confer ence are pretty well used to stormy scenes they found it necessary to abandon their com- promise and to make their recommendation to abstain apply to all classes of the ministry. Not without considerable opposition did thoge who see damnation in cigars carry their point. While these denounced its baneful influence the smoking brethren proclaim with no uncertain voice its virtues, Father Richardson stood forward boldly as the champion of the weed; for sixty years ho had found it a sovereign remedy for almost every kind of disease. He said Shakspeare knew nothing about it, or he would never have recommended spermaceti. Not alone would he strongly advise the rising generation to smoke, but to smoke largely, and even to chew. This was carrying the war into Africa with a vengeance; but the band of Christian men who wish to see Methodism without stain or smoke rallied and overthrew their octogenarian foe. But victory was not yet, for Osborn took hold by tho teeth and carried on the tobacco war. Not alone had he found it good for the gencral health, but invaluable as a preserver of his ivorics. Three times hud he abandoned the weed, and each time had he been punished by the loss of a tooth. Iaving now arrived at that stage when he could no longer afford to make experiments of this nature he was resolved not to aban- don his pipe under any consideration. But the dental appeal of the good Doctor was with- out avail, and the holy men voted pipes an abomination without any saving clause. This new dogma of Methodism will be hailed with delight by tha ladies whose parlors are dese- crated by the all-invading cigar, but we fear it will prove a hard matter to make the more muscular part of the Christian community accept the new article of faith, and as the Conference can put forth no claim to infalli- bility there is reason to believe that the tobacco resolution will end in smoke, A Mrnisterian Crisis rn Sparn is again puz zling Amadeus. His Majesty is engaged in looking around fora Premier. The exciting cause of his present difficulty appears to exist in the fact that it Whs charged against the ad- visers of the Crown that a large sum of the public money which had been appropriated to the use of the secret service of the State had been diverted to party purposes and squandered during the recent elections, This is an old story, end will not, it may be, convey the idea of any great crime to the minds of the surrounding ministers.

This is on the route from our Pacific oust to Australia and New Zealand.

This acquisition, sual though it be, may load to important results, it to its original condition. If passed at ail, like the Amnesty bill, there is no reason why it should not have been made as comprehen- sive as its projector desires. The expediency of the law is a question on which aj great difference of opinion exists, but, if wise and just, its mutilation by the Senate is to be condemned. Every fair-minded person must concede the pro- priety of insuring to the colored race the fall advantages for which we fail to see completely the compensating public benefit, and in which the travelling public, in whose interest it is supposed to have been drawn, will be placed to a great extent at the mercy of railway rapacity.
