4 CHSARISM. The Project to Overthrow the Republic. Further Opinions of the American Press on Grant’s Proposed Third Term. EE [From Frank Lealie’s Hnstrated Newspaper.) Unusual attention has lately been called to the probability of an effort to elect General Grant to a third term of the Presidency. Had the people really credited the possibility even of such an attempt, when it was asserted in the canvass of last year, he would certainly have had @® much smaller majority. Butit is the nature of Ameri- {o believe implicitly in the permanence of the blic, notwithstanding all the warnings they have had, of whicn the war was the atest, and to treat their military heroes as if they were saints, incapable of an ambitious dream. General Grant was anything last year that his admirers chose to make him—a modern Cincinnatus or a second Washington. His military tareer atoned for al) his civil errors, Mr. Greeley, pn the other hand, who had during a@ long life of temperance, industry and true philanthropy labored in the cause of the people, was suddenly transformed into their enemy, and pursued to his grave by the meanest and cruclest slanders of the age. Byt both the praise and the blame Were so extravagant and unjust that the sound common sense of the country begins already to’ NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 15; J873—TRIPLE and that he thoronghly understands them. To-day 8 majority of voters at the North are not republi- cans, They wanta ‘strong government'’—some- thing centralized—and they are prepared to vote for any man who will give them this, President | American Diplomacy in the Halls of the Montezu- | president Sarmiento’s Grant is the embodiment of centralism. Noman in the United States can be found to fill the position Of Omaar with s0 much satisiaction, He believes in popular suffrage only 60 far as it elevates him and his creatures to ofice, and he does not hesitate to crush the popular voice when he finds it antagon- istic to his views, Such a man, then, bas every chance of a third nomination, and—we seriously fear—of a third election. There is nothing in him Of the lofty contempt of office which characterized Washington, and he has nothing in common with Jackson. Pretty much ail of Grant’s patriotism is centered in his own fortunes. It may be that he would not even dream of the imperial purple, but that he expects to remain President of the United States as long as he lives we have not the slightest doubt. We agree with the New YORK HERALD that the re-election of Grant will inaugurate an era of Owsarism—perhaps it would be better to gay, would develop into full force tho Casarism Of the past tenyears, Those will be wise who pre- Pare in advance for it. No special prescience is required to see that the old republic of the United States is dead. Here in the South is the last stronghold of republicanism in this country. Some day 1t will assert itself and overthrow Omsarism, but not before the ceniralists of the North have saceceded in capping the pinnacle they have erected, with the oligarchy more odious than Rome or Venice ever possess¢d—more odious because the present age is enlightened and Americans en- Joyed unrestricted liberty for eighty-five years be- fore the republic of a voluntary. union was de- atroyed ana the so-called repubho of force and un- revise the judgment of the polls, and the hero- worsbip of the soldier declines just as the respect for the statesman iticreases. Whus the people are by no means as ready to give Grant a third term as they were to give bim a Second. There was illustrious precedent for the one, there is none for the other. No President ever held his ofMce for twelve years, but, on the vontrary, Washington, Jefferson and other great leaders of the Repubtic warned the people against the dangers of the perpetual re-ellgibility of the Executive. Lincoln, even in time of war, held fimilar opinions, Jemerson believed it would result in Inaking the office one for life, and after. wards hereditary. Thus, last year the cdantry w@vos convinced that Grant’s second term would be, a8 a matter of course, his last; they scouted the idea that he might seek to elect §$uimserr again and treated all who asserted the pos. ibility of such a scheme as idle or malicious alarm- sts. That the people do not think so now the resent political condition gives sufficient proof. ‘he third term question is the question of the day. In the first place it must be conceded that there no other candidate in the republican party ex- epting Grant. Mr. Blaine and Mr. Morton are ‘aguely talked about by small factions, but the party Btself has no more present idea of nominating either fthem than it has of bestowing the honor upon } rge Francis Train. With all their decided bility, these gentlemen have only remote and mtingent expectations, like distant heirs to a Toperty. The great Mr. Conkling, who wonld therwise have Presidential aspirations, sees his, and fixes his eyes upon the high judicial eat which Mr. Chase left vacant, and the bold General Butler contents himself with visions wf Senatorial splendor. Grant is the man. The Rwhole army of politicians look to him as Wheir leader; he is the open choice of the offlce- holders, to whom a third term means continua- Mion in place and power. He is the master of ‘the republican party, having put down with an Jron hand every rebellion in its ranks, and having Worced out of its councils all who dared to oppose ‘bis will. He is just as strong now for the third ‘Berm, with the politicians, as he was last year for the second, but we greatly mistake if he is not much weaker with the people. Those who doubt this, and have so much conf- dence in Grant that they think he would sternly refuse @ third candidacy, and retire, like Cincin- Batus, to his plough, or, like Washington, to Mount Vernon, shonid ask themselves if he bas ever refused anything. Has not his ‘whole career revealed a determination to jp power and hold it? We doubt if the orst of his predecessors in the Presidency would Wave sigued a bill doubling his own salary, accom- panied, as the Grant bill was, with the disgraceful @ack-pay steal of Congress, We know that the preat men with whom Grant is sometimes com- ‘pared—Washington, Jéferson, Jackson and Lin- goln—would never bave violated, as he did, the Bprit of the constitutional olause which forbids the Bncrease of a President’s salary by a petty evasion wf the Ictter. Nor has Grant ever intimated the slightest objection to a third term, though he is the first President who has been accused of Beeking it. He has had and has now the opportu- ity of removing this growing fear of the country Bnd vindicating bis character with a word, but ‘that word he evidently will not speak until he ts compelicd by public opinion—that is, if public opinion has compulsory power any longer. Yet in spite of this ominous silence of himself, ‘More alarming because of the loud advocacy of the Bcheme by his partisans, we hesitate to absolutely accuse Grant of a design to seize the Presidency by 4he aid of the patronage of the government and of ‘B great and weil trained organization. But we do say ‘that his actions and his policy have subjected him %o the susprcion that he entertains this criminal Project, and that this is beginning to be generally believed by all parties. Souniversal is this opinion that ip the past two weeks even the HERALD, which has always sustained him, bas declared to the country that the danger exists, and bas, in ali Kindness, called upon nim to destroy it. He has ‘been warned by it that to persist would be to earn for himself a place in our history with Burr and Arnold, as the enemy of republican institutions. This is true, but tt is needless for us to point out in how mauy ways a third term would threaten the fabric of American liberty. Where is the American who does not know that a permanent Executive anda free democracy cannot exist together, and Who that truly loves his country would let love of party persuade him to sanction the experiment? . * * * * * The New York Henan is greatly worried at the @rospect of General Grant receiving a third Presi- Sential term, That General Grant wants such a term even his friends do not deny; and he has all ‘the power, prestige and patronage of the govern- ment to aid him in obtaining it, What Washington, Jefferson and Jackson did not desire he would have. JSo long as he has ene skiliul political retainer in every State, capable of manipulating its political elements, he is safe in carrying his estimate of his power and his ambition for tenure of office to any pxtent. Kellogg, he thinks, can manage Louisian: Cameron and Hartranit can manage Pennsylvan: Conkling can manage New York, and Morten can manage Indiana, We do not doubt, at this dis- tance from the contest for the Presidential succea- Aion, that Grant will be renominated. But his re- jomination will seal the tomb o! the republican yy. Centralization can have no more slarming Pec, than the nomination of a President for a third tem.'; 4nd the people do not think any Ameri- ban worthy, ot that honor, [From the Atlante’ (Ga.)

Going further, the HERALD does not het ‘ate to declare that the re-election of Grant will usher in an era of Cwsarism and virtually destroy the Republic. The fears expressed by our New York contem- porary are precisely those we expect to see Fealized. There is no constitutional prohibition of ® third term, and if Grant can work his numerous ‘Ofiice-holders dexteronsly, we see no reason why he should not be the nominee of the radicals again. President Grant is an ambitious man, and an able man, too. Silent and reserved, as he may be, he is @ close observer, aud we have no doubt that he has thoroueniv aounded Northerp sentiments quenchabdle animosities substituted. {From the Lynchburg Virginian (dem.), July 14.) Believing that the country is in danger from the Cesarism of the dominant party that has made an idol of its military chief, who, in conjunction with his pensioned ofMice-nolders, will neglect no effort to bring the whole patronage of the government— now immense and increasing—to bear upon tho question, and to promote his interest and theirs, by keeping the administration of affairs in tho hands of those who now govern; it behooves the independent press of the country to warn the peo- ple against the evils with which they are threat- ened, wrod ties (From the Paducah Kentuckian, July 11.) The remedy (for a third term) is, of course, that advocated by Horace Grecley and endorsed at Cin- cinnati and Baltimore—a constitutional amend- ment making the President ineligible for a second term. What the country needs, aud what it must have at an early aay, if our republican liberties arc to be preserved to us are, the amendment spoken of, acapable and patriotic Chief Magistrate, an honest Congress and a thorough and genuine re- form in the civil service, Untill we have all these the country cannot be satisfiea that we have a re- publican form of government which is not liable to be overthrown at any time. (From the National Union (democratic), July 12.) The question of a third term for Grant is begin- ning already to assume considerable importance In | the discussions of political coteries. There is no denying that Grant is very willing to accept a nomination for @ third term, and that he has the power to force this nomination from his party. The only question with him is as to the result of such @ nomination. Ifhe can assure himself of an election there ts little doubt that he will be in the field. But itis by no means certain that the rank and file of the republican party can be brought up to his support for a third term, while there are a few prominéht men inthe party who think they deserve something and may possibly hold back from his support in the event Grant forces his Romination. A significant article on the subject appears in a late issue of the NEw YORK HERALD, which will assuredly attract attention unless the American people bave lost all regard for our repub- lican form of government. (Frem the Washington Sunday Chronicie (For- ney’s), July 13.] The New YoRK HERALD says that we are gradually drifting into Cwsarism, owing to the corruptions that have crept into public life. The people have the remedy, and, when found necessary, will know how to apply it. They disposea of one system of slavery and will hardly allow another to get con- trol of our body politic. The Spread of Ceesarism. To THE Epitor or THE HERALD:— My attention has been much attracted by your able articles upon the spread of the spirit of Cesar- ism in the minds of a large portion of our peopie, and Ishoula be much obliged if you would give me the opportunity through your columns of point- ing out the danger to liberty of such a spirit. I think your remarks about Cesar, Cromwell and Napoleon are quite apropos, in proof that history repeats itself, Have we not seen the Republic of France merge into an empire during the last twenty-five years? Now what other reason can be assigned for it but the fact that the great mass of people are the same in every age and nation? Consequently the question arises whether wo are to be considered anexceptionr It now remains to be seen whether our people are so blind as to endorse the third candidacy of any one President. To ry mind @ third term is only vhe germ o/ an empire. It General Grant 1s elected to a third term it will be tantamount to a public endorsement of his policy in Louisiana and a it approval of the overthrow of the liberties of other States. When the franchise becomes a farce we are ripe for an empire. | was much pleased at your s atizing the Crédit Mobiller scandal as of the spirit of Cesarism; yct I do not think any of the perpetrators of that dis- graceful crime have the mental! force to make them aspire to rival Cxsar, Cromwell or Napoleon. No doubt there are many im this country who aspire to the power and dignity of an imperial crown, ‘The hope Ihave that this Republic will not merge into an empire is founded on the public spirit of the ‘armers of the West. I and many others woud like an expression of opinion from you of what will he the ultimate results of that movemen' especially if the manufacturing and mechanical elements of the country co-operate with them and augment their power. Do you | think they will steer clear of demagogism ? Or, if they form a new party with issues of vital importance, involving the perpetuity of the pe do you think they have men in their ranks that may be elected to oilice who correspond with the officers of Plato’s Republic, so tncorrupti- ble, £0 disinterested as to love their country better than themselves, and legislate for the beneft of the whole people? An independent paper like the HERALD, untrammelled by party, ts of inestimable vaine in pointing out the dangers which beset our Republic. Now is the time for the good and true | men of the country to exert themseives in check- ing the spread of rism, if our present office- holders have brought disgrace upon us in the eyes ofallthe world, Would not the Republic, lost in | an empire, not only make angels weep, but even mar the happiness of its founders in their enjoy- ment of the delights of heaven? 1| am, sir, most respectiully, R.

The ex-Minieter of the United States, Thomas A, Nelson, made his retiring, farewell address to the Execative of the nation, President Lerdo, at noon to-day, and was duly replied to. Hon. John W. Foster, Mr. Nelson’s successor, presented his cre- dentials, with a suitable address, and was also re- sponded to Wy President Lerdo de Tejada. THE AMERICAN ADDRESSES, The following are the addresses pronounced upon the occasion, with a translation o! tho replies of President Lerdo:— HON. THOMAS 1. HaLeon THE MEXICAN EXECO- SBNOR PResipENT—I have to fulfil my last oficial obligation as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America near the government of Mexivo, placing in the hands of Your Excellency the letter of the Presi- dent of the United States announcing that he had acceded to desire to return to my country, and in which I am instructed to repre- sent to Your Hxcellency the assurances of the sincere wish of my government to con- tinue the friendly relations which happily now exist between the two governments; as also his desire to secure for the People of both republics the continuation of the benefits which have resulted from such relations. On the occa- sion of my official recession, four years since, I had the honor to assure the predecessor of Your Ex- cellency that I would endeavor to tighten the bands of sympathy and interest which ought al- ways to unite sister republics so similar in origin and institutions, and that the government o/ tho United States would make no demand which shonld notin itself be most irresistibly recom- mended to the most clear Perception of Tight and justice, No one better knows than Yous Excel- jeney rece these prot! S$ have been faithfully complied with during a period of service greater than that which has happened to any of my prede- éessors icr more than @ generation. It has ber my duty, as also my, Pres, "nate isfaction, individnaly as “Wel iMetally to udeavé¥ to “remove every cause ot Cdhiplaint; to present damages in @_dimin- ished character; to remove false impressions, And to place our government and our people in their true attitude, which is more elevated than that of @ mere conventional or commercial amity, frater- hal not alone tn {ts diplomatic sense, and com- pletely American tn the broad, liberal and conti- hentai signiication of the word. I wust sincerely that such efforts have been crowned with good re- sults, at least to a certain extent, and vhat the re- lations between our respective governments and -people will be always as cordial and friendly as they should be between neighboring and sister Republics. My most vehement desire is that each one of these to nations may receive the beneiits and advantages which are siwaye the result of reciprocliy and of mutual good disposition, sym- pathy and interest. And now, Mr. President, it only remains for me to give to Your Exceliency and ail the members of your government my sincere thanka for the in- Lumerable personal and official distinctions, the memory of which will remain with me to the latest moments of my life. My most vehement prayer is that Mexico may continue to make rapid progress in its material weliare, and in the consolidation of its wise ete institutions, to the end that it may verify and maintain within its own autonomy the elevated position to which it ts entitled among the family o! nations. PRESIDENT LERDO replied as follows:— Mr. Mrnister—I receive, with true feelings, the letter in which His Excellency the President of the sae Sion theme ety to your de- sire, has ng ted the mission which you have so ORY filed utr Ne jovetnment of Mexico for four years. The assurances which, at fhe commencement of pour mission, $6u niade to my illustr! oun DS lecessor have been, in fact, constantly sustained, for you have not reserving the friendly relations only succeeded in which happily existed between Mexico and the United States, but you have been careful to make them more close by the moderation and good-will with which you lave directed the various matters which have occupied your attention. By procuring the removal of all cause of com- Ppiaint and false impressions, you have placed the government and the people of the United States in ie poston, wien pelon to brotherhood, not cay gest at of ideas and noble aspirations, which is, without doubt, the most sold, base of harmony between two people united by the sim- ilarity oi their institutions, from which both may look for the increased development of their elements of material wealth and the constant prog- Tess of civilization, The benevolent expression of gratitude which you manifest to the government of Mexico ts re- sponded to thereby, and will always keep in mem- ory your grateful memento, and that your last prayers have been for the prosperity of the Mexi- be nation and for the consolidation of her institu- Aon, HON, JOHN FOSTER, Here this gentleman placed in the hands of the Mexican Minister of Foreign Relations the letter which accredited him as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, addressing President Lerdo as follows:— SzNOR PREsIpENT—I have the honor to present to you my credentials as Envoy Extraordi- pary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America near the govern- ment of the United States of Mexico. in doing g0 it becomes my pleasing duty to assure Your Excellenoy of the earnest desire of the President of the United States that the most peaceful and cor- ial relations may continue to be maintained between the two republics. I trust the govern- ment and people whom I represent have, in the past twelve years, given suflicient evidence of their sympathy with the present !iberal und con- stitutional government 01 Mexico as to render it unnecessary for me at this time to give any re- newed assurances of their desire for the stability and prosperity of Your Excellency’s administra- tion, They regard the principies for which the two republics contended in the bioody conflicts from which they so ig tale emerged as akin. It was the contest of modern intelligence and equality against ancient injustice and intolerance, whioh ages of law ana erstition could not ren- der sacred, and which the spirit of republican jus- tice could not tolerate. As an evidence, therefore, of the complcte tri- umph of the principies of liberal constitutional government and the laws of reform, the people of the United States will hail with pleasure the recent oMcial announcement of Your Excellency, that there does not exist throughout the length and breadth of the nation a single armed band in hos- tility to law and authority, and that the entire Republic is enjoying the benefits of peace. I con- gratulate mysel! that I can enter upon my official duties near the government of Mexico in a time of peace and stability, and I entertain the hope that my mission may result in the promotion of more intimate political and soctal intercourse and increase of our commercial relations and the dis- appearance of whatever of prejudice and suspicion may have existed in the past. THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO replied as follow: MR, MINISTER—I receive with Much satisfaction the credentials you present as Envoy &xtraordt- nary and Minister Pienipotentiary of the United States of America, and the expression of the sincere desites Which animate your government that the most pacific and cordial relations may be preserved betweeu Mexico and the United States of America. The sympathies which the United States of America have ‘or a long time manifested for the constitu- tional government of Mcxico assure us of the truthfulness of its desires for the stability and pros berity of the peers administration. sim- liarity of the principles which both repubiics sus- tained in their bloody struggle, and in which both the cause which was deiended was the cause of Justice against abuses, of liberty against tyranny, of modern civilization against old prejudices and of truth against errors fruitful of all kinds of evils. The consolidation of liberal institutions and of the laws of reform will be secure under the aus- Pices of the peace Which to-day is enjoyed thro out the Republic, Ithank you, Mr, ie slneere desires, and trust that your m: contribute very effectually, not only to main- tain the good relations between Mexico and the United States of America, but to tighten them d: by day, in order that both nations may march on- ward without obstacle or gh aed and withour Ley A ills, upon the road which should conduct them to the mos Seagicce prosperity. y, Cee ads Meet See Obes SE THE GREENBUSH (N, Y.)

By mail from South America we have a full report of the special message which President Sarmiento devered to the Congress of Buenos Ayres on the subject of the Lopes Jordan war in Entre Rios, The language of the Executive is ex- ceedingly strong, and the principle which it enunciates quite novel among the people of the distant democratic confederation. President Sarmiento’s Message. To THE HONORABLE LEGISLATIVE CONGRESS :— ‘The Executive has the honor of informing your honorable body that Entre Rios is in open rebel- Hon against the provincial and natio: authori. ties, that rebellion being set on foot and influenced by Don Ricardo Lopez Jordan (complicated in the assassination of (a Gene- ral Don | Justo has invanes, that armed force, depending upon accomplices in the interior, and threatening, by inducements to revolt, or by other means, the other two provinces of the Lito- ral, which places the nation in danger, and, in the opinion of those whoare acquainted with designs of the invader, imperil the institutions of the coun- try which have become the first boast of ail patri- otic Argentines, The former rebellion having been suppressed by the national arms in conjunction with the National Guard of that province, in 1871, alter @ very serious outlay of funds which was destined by the Treasury for other pur- poses. a general amnesty was declared in favor of those who had takon part in that outbreak, and not one of its promoters was cither expelicd the gountry or submitted to the proper authorities for trial. For the purpose of clecting a Governor, the law of Congress which ordered the reprcssion of jhe criminal atsemps of Lopes Jordan had sus- pended the state of sicge, and the loyal militia, ris pad 80 valiantly contributed towards the re- establishment of order, were disbanded and paid, thus causing @ disbursement of several thousand dollars.

These facts, although they may prove the inexperience of the inhabitants of the Province in question as regards the election of the person requisite for the circumstances, show, at all events, that said election was the true expression of the popular vote, without any attempt at coac- tion or the exercise of any tyrannical act. The national government, foreiga to all these local proceedings, maintained @ small force of the lino to preserve public order, which was continually threatened by fresh rumors of revolution under the direction of the man who had been declared a rebel by your honorable body, and who was reclaimed by Justice as a traitorous assassin, EXCITING CAUSES AND IMPRRATIVE CONSEQUENCES. es The origin of this rebellion, which no apparent cause appears to bave warranted, has, in the opinion of the Rational government, a tendency so anarchical, that were it leit unchecked, it would endgngor the institutions which have been the of the last twenty years, with the overthrow yrant in the first place, with the incorporation ofa of Buenos Ayres in the next, and lastly, with that yeconciliation which has. citly been agreed upon | by the federal ana unitartin -rarti 8.

Uniortunately these which he turned to account for his own personal aggran- dizement, which murmured and clamored for former military sway, which he himself had abdi- cated and abandoned in obedience to the national Gonatieutlon, to sirujnation and to the public liberties of the people. Entre Rios for twenty years was tradition- ally organized, not by civil law, but as a vast military encampment. Upon the formation of the trst Spanish and English Colonies in North and South America, under the dominion at that time of the wild Indian, the colonists, as a condition of existence, hud to arm themselves repeatedly to drive back the savages who sought their extermi- nation, The community of danger made soldiers of them all, and victory gave authority to the most daring, or to the first who gave vent to a bellicose ardor of expression, clothing themselves in @ garb of military pre-eminence, Such is the origin of the American militia, Upon the Sate ot of the colonists, the English portion produced a Washington, chief of a fortunate expedition, detached agalast the Indians. In this country the first CLE geo of any organization of the nature referred to may be found in the proceedings of Artigas, followed by those of Quiroga, Lopez, Resas and Urquiza him- self, assassinated by Lopez Jordan, should not be excluded, the latter of whom has basely taken advantage of elements Cape eapicrae and by one decisive blow, however 1 nal, has brought to his standard those, who, abandoning civil- ized life, depend for their support on a state’ brought about by terror and pillage. Ths is not an imaginary picture, but the real cancer which or upon the vitals of the Republic; he militia, converted into @ warlike element, fatal to all pastoral pur- suits. The history of the country abounds in similar examples. ost filty years of continual struggle have been employed by our predecessors against Quiroga, Ramirez and Artigas. The tyranny exercised subsequently by Rosas will not be readily effaced, and whatever claims may be urged to civilization and advancement there is yet much to be done before the Argentine nation can sit quietly down to partake of the banquet at MY the principal nations of the world reciaim a sea Such, in a few words, is the situation and dan- head that the -xecutive now lays before gress, in order that the latter may accept the melancholy but inevitable task of carrying on the self-imposed duty of their forefathers, the struggle of civilization against barbarism; of terminating @ civil war which has no other object than the lust of an irrational ambition, and the retended soldiers of which never presented their jaces to the enemy in Chicabuco, Ituzaingo or Paraguay, and whose only proceedings, to their lasting disgrace, were their insurrections in Basu- oldo and Toledo, the greatest dishonor that could have been inferred upon the Entre Riano militia, When the flag has been triumphantly unfarled by San Martin and Rivadavia, to whica Urquiza became convert in the latter part of his life, ia again shaken to the breeze, Argentines forget their dissensions and become the re nowned champions ot civilization and liberty. This was proved yesterday in the message to your hon- orable chambers; let it now be proved by a strict adherence to the principles we proclaim, suppress- Ing anarchy wherever its fangled head becomes apparent. No State is entireiy free from internal turmoil. In the same way that Holland may become a victim to inundation by the de- struction of a pile, so also have the United States experienced the most disastrous civil war, simply because their forefathers, 300 years belore, introduce: to the pulation. In the same manner France Ba suffered the greatest humiliation and loss, frightful even to contemplate in a mistaken opinion regarding true military glory and moral worth, In the self same manner we, We also, have to undertake # crusade against our own country- men unless we are prepared to deliver ourselves over to @ state of barbarism and the most frightiul riod of retrocession, as the first inhabitants of ‘his country Were aset of barbarians, but becoming mixed with those of European descent, a change of government was gradually introduced and a state Civilization supplanted one of pillage and biocod- shed. Such is the character oi the insurrection promoted by Lopez Jordan, the three-fold as- sassin of the family of Urquiza, and now the cut- throat and coniiscator of property; as he may capriciously determine upon, ne kxecutive, in ‘use of the facuities wita which it is invested and in protection of the public peace, have determined on placing in the fleld a certain number of the Natlonal Gu declaring in a state of siege the rovings now threatened, and purposes requesting rors, ear honourable chambers the organization Of other powertul means of action, until the ruth- Tess Invasion by the crirainal Jordan o¢ entirely stamped out.

Bulletins of Battle with Insular Bra- very Regulated by Prudence—“The War Which tor a Space Did Fail”— Sharp Action in the Central Depart- ment—Rumors Like Unto Contraband. Havana, July 8, 1873, The news from the fleld of operations is very meagre, and affairs in the rebel districts offer no important changes. Sanguili, it appears, has taken the command of the insurgents in the Central De- partment. There is no foundation for the report Published in the Spanish Havana journals and transmitted to the press of the United States, that on account of rivalry in the succession of the va- cancy left by the late insurgent General Ignacio Agramonte, aduel had been fought by Sanguili with Reeves, or any other of the chiefs of the Camaguey districts. If only one-tenth part of the rumore—most generally canards, daily circulated by the Spanish genius of invention—were to be Doted and wired, it would be expensive play to contradict them by the same method the day aiter. A BHARP ACTION. The Dtfirio ds ta Marina reports @ well disputed engagement in the Central Department. The {ol- lowing are the details as officially reported, and must be accepted, for want of more reliable infor- hidtion, with the usual allowance :—_ The column of in‘antry, composed of 315 men of the “Rey” regiment under the orders of Major Andrés Moreno, has just sustained, in the savan- nah of Bermejo, a very severe encounter with a party of the enemy, composed of nearly tour hun- red mounted men, headed by the chief Sanguiti. After the extreme vanguard had gustained several skirmal hes an the Ou pos aro ae insur, pore the main body rebels made their appearan on the plains ay han 3 or the indicaton savon- nah. The fire opened in different directions; the enemy endeavored to surround our column repeatedly, putting in play their weil known strategy of feigned attacks and retreats. The column of the “Rey” advanced with dash and without hesitation, deceiving, by changes of iront, the tricks of the insurgents, who persist- ingly gave the cry of ‘To tac machete!” without daring to execute it, in view of the gallant firm- ness of the soldiers, who, fighting with spirit and Lipa ground, got complete possession of the eld, the enemy retiring aiter having completely exhausted their ammunition, ‘The total duration of the firing lasted about one hour and a quarter. Our column occupied the insurgent encampment, composed of about flity huts, with sleeping accom- modations for 300 persons. ‘Fhe enemy's losses are calculated (?) at no less than twenty, leaving on the field, besides tivo horses Killed, two horses wounded, several arms and the portfolio of Sanguili’s ald-de-camp.

It is ru- mored that he is to take command of that De- partment, and that General Portilla is to be re- moved. The Fepabitoan press have of late severely at- tacked the last-named General, accusing him of monopolies and peculations, as well as of havin; disobeyed certain orders issued by Captain General Pieltain. General Portilla, however, is the idol of the oligarchist of the Cinco Villas and of Havana, and trouble is auticipated if his removal should be attempted, TURKS ISLAND, cine Arrest of an American Captain by the English Authorities for a Debt Con- tracted in the United States—Protest of Mr. Driggs, the American Consul—His Appeal to Washington tor a United States War Vessel. Turks Island is apparently in’a fair way of enjoy- ing a sensation, and the manner in which the all- engrossing subject of salt is being temporarily for- gotten isin this wise:— An American schooner put into this port lately for fresh provisions, her commander and owner being man named Rowe, The vessel was bound for St. Domingo, and was laden with guano, Upon the captain putting his foot ashore he was arrested by the English authorities, according to instructions sent outby a New York firm, viz :—Wilson & Asmus, of 51 Front street, the indebtedness being to themselves, The American Consul (Mr. Driggs) protested in the most emphatic manner against Captain Rowe’s arrest, and by the steamer Perit, which takes this communication to New York, a request goes forward to Secretary of State Hatniiton Fish, praying thata United States war vessel may bo sent to Turks Jaland to investigate what Mr. Driggs believes to be a breach of international Salt six cents a pound.

The Appointment of the New President Shortly to Take Place—Great Political Excitement — Politics and Shooting Irons—Large Fire in Gonatves—Fight. ing in St. Domingo—A Distinguished Departure for New York. PorT av PRINCE, Hayti, June 30, 1873, The opening of the Legislature is shortly ex- pected to take place, but it is prophesied that when it is opened bloodshed will inevitably occur, so intense is the party hatred which has been begot- ten oat of the recent elections, which are admitied to have been carried on in the most fraudulent manner possible, The only comparison Ican make to convey to your mind any idea of the factionary spirit which has been begotten here is to compare it to the recent electioneering strife in Louisiana, The Chambers will appoint ihe new President of the Republic, so that the interests in play are many and diversified, , LARGE FIRE AT GONATVES.

He then avowed his political creed, which was ‘Offensive to those present and the epithets ‘cur,’ wn wretch,” &c,, were frequently invoked by both sides, At last when patience had ceased to be a virtue in their eyes a personal encounter took | Place between the two gentiomen mentioned, and Adam found himself bottom dogin the fight and Mr. Pardire about to put a bullet through him. pardire fired, and the ball wounded Adain lightly in the side.

The proceedings of the Board of Aldermen yew terday were watched with great interest by an immense lobby, who expected some decisive action on the Police Justice nominations, The President, Mr. Vance, took the chair at three o'clock, when Alderman Lysaght introduced a resolution transfer- ring the markets from the control of Comptroller Green to the Commissioner of Public Works, the new charter providing that all the public buildinga shall be under the jarisdiction of the last-named oficial. Consideradle routine business was dig posed of, when Mr, Morris introduced his stereo- typed resolutions to take from the table the Mayor’s nominees for Police Justices. When he did so there was enna in the lobby, which the dignified President quickly suppressed. The dis- cussion on the proposition to take from the table, was interesting, Mr. Optengorrer I ading off, but as he turned his face to the lobby &nd his back upon the chair, as is his usual, but Sninten to jal custom, none of the English-spes) Ing réporters Could catch his words, which wore, It was Mhderstood, in favor or taking fr e table and rejéoying or confirm. ing, ag the case may be.

He declared that he ould prove that a party inthe confidence of the nom!- nating power had promised him ali the patroneee he wanted. It was, he said, against his principles to do any act not open to the fullest scrutiny, and his votes were actuated by the full conviction that the Police Magistrate law was unconstitutional; that he was acting in the interest of the people in opposing confirmation, as, if they were confirmed, there would be endless litigation. He reierred to the new law for the appointment of a Commis- sioner of Jurors, and stated that had the Mayor's nominee been confirmed ali Court proceedings taken under the acts of the new incumbent would have been contested, and he felicitated the public upon the nou-coniirmation of the nomination for Com- missioner of Jurors. The gentleman, who spoke with much earnestness, closed by declaring that if he was not convinced that the law to appoint new Justices was coustitutional he would not vote for the confirmation of the names laid on the table until they rotted. These were the closing words of Mr. Kebr, who took his seat; but the last sen- tence seemed to electrify the lobby, and cheer after cheer followed, which was finally suppressed by President Vance.
