It has come near us by meansof emigrant ships from Europe, and is very likely to visit us in the course of the ensuing Summer, though we bave a Health Com- mission that is doing ita utmost to keep it away. Ifit does come, our distant readers shall be promptly ad- vised of the fact through these columns. Saturday's flood-tide of talk in the House was ably relieved by the learned legal effort of Judge Shella- barger of Ohio. He holds the belief that the breach between Congress and the President may be healed by recoguizing the loyal people of the States in recon- struction, to the exclusion, disfranchisement and pun- ishmeut of Rebels and Rebel leader: The letter of our correspondent in Maine shows that the Fenian doings on the border amount to nothing in fact and very little in point of vapor. ‘The reported exploits in the streets of St. Stephen's and in capturing the flag of a British revenue cutter, prove eminently not Feuian. Mr. Killian, who ap- | pears to be the master spirit of this inactivity, is accompanied by a convention of twenty or thirty J patriotic Trishmen who are the sole discoverable force of the Fenian invasion. H b —— ~ - The conclusion of the inquiry of the Jamaica Com- wission points to a verdict which will not take the world by surprise. The Commissioners bave dealt firmly with Gov. Eyre, and in the investigation itsell have thronghout acted impartially. The dispute 8s to Confederation in the Province of Nova-Scotia has developed a gpirit not altogether fa- vorable to its future retention by the British crown. | One Member of Parliament is charged with treason, aud ** threats of disloyalty,” says The Toronto Leader, | are bandied backward and forward in a way that is not at all edifying.” ‘ With no respect for, and little belief in, a popular calm when popular interests are concerned, the op- | ponents of the English Reform bill have boen begging a storm. Mr. Bright bas taken the hint, and the cities and counties are waking up in large popular meetings. Now, says The Potteries Eraminer, *‘if | Lowe, Horsman, and their venal and renegade cliquo want the argnment of excitement, let them have it. Such characters are the veriest and vilest anarchists. They can see national improvement only in burning towns and massacre.” This is talk with & wind to it, as Mr. Carlyle would say. I Public whipping in the South, we agree with Gov, | Holden, is impartially set down in the law for of- | fenders, black and white; but what observant South- erver will tell us that there is not a marked difference | in its administering and applying—the greater weight and number of blows for the backs of & greater num- | ber of negroes? The best that Mr. Holden can say of the pillory and whipping-post is that they are rough econowmies for inflicting disgrace while saving the ex- pense of & prison. 'We know that in South Carolina, whore the lash is the common law, there is no peui- tentiary whatever. For this wild-cat state of social discipline, Mr. Holden only pleads that it is ** prefer- able to the alternatives of the Draconian system of hanging all offenders, or suffering the guilty to go free.” Are these the ouly alternatives? Is this the quaint and old-fashioned justice of the South? Then better abolish the whipping-post at once, and set up Jjnils right spoedily. We venture to say that thore will be as many exocutioners Lo reform as convicts. NPAW-.YOKK DAILY TRIBUNE,” BIONDAY, APRIL 23, 1306 and that too much whipping has been cotemporary with too much hanging. OUR STATE LEZISLATURE. Theo late Legislatare of our State is entitled to at Teast negative praise, It was abler and far less cor- rupt than its immediate prodecéssor; it dil not pass atithe of the bad measures that were formidably urged upon it; and the Governor bravely vetoed some of the most objectionablo of those it did pass; so that its volume of additions to the statutes of our State will show but very little that is decidedly objectionable. They, it did several decidedly good things; foremost among which, we rank the Health Comamission accor- ded to our City, and the now Excise Board whereby the Liquor Traffic in this metropolis is to be placed under the legal restrictions which it has hithertodefied with impunity, Henceforth, if almost every corner- grocery shall be a tippling-house and every Babbath a day of especial drunkenness and riot, it will bo the fault of the Health Commission aud the Polico, since they have been clothed with power to enforce what has alwags been the law, but what has never (save for a faw weeks at rare intervals) boen obeyed as such. We reckon it will have {o bo, for at least a yoar from the 1st of May next. If, at our next State lection, the People shall decide to have Sunday thereafter a day of tipsy jollity, of fight and frolie, wo mnst submit, asthe other sort mever did. But let them make a square, open issus, and wo do not fear the rosult. As to general City Reform, a little has been done, and but a little. The Board of Finance or of Control, was beaten, as it should not have hoen. Had it been passed, it would have savod at least $1,000,000 per annum from the start, and ultimately many millions to our tax-payers. It will be urged again and again, till some eflective barrier against giguuligmcuhlwn shall have been exacted. One of the chicf obstagles to Reform is the char- acter of the delegation sent to Albany from this City. The chief robbers are no longer satisfied with sending adroit, cunning men to watch over their interests: they go themselves, and bargain with every project of venal rapacity or rottenness to save their plunder. To their ignorant supporters here, they clamor against Repwblican commissions and schemes to take patron- age and power from Democrats; but when a wajority of tho Republicans offerad to tako onr now City Hall out of the hands of its present ““no party " (or balanced) managers, and give it to a Democratic Commission headed by the Mayor, erery Democratic Senator helped vote it down. What the Republican majority wanted was to stop peculation; but this was exaotly what our Democratic members did w't want; and they suc- coeded. W venture to say that no bill proposing to raise salaries, build railroads or canals, or incroase ex- penditure generally, has passed the lato Legislaturo, which was not supported by at least three-fourths of tho Domocratic representatives of our city. Yet, had theso very bills became lasgs, the people would have boen exhorted to vote down Gov. Feuton and his friouds and put these Democrats into power, because of the enormous pressure of taxation. We hear that the New Broadway awindle—saddling on the City the expense of a looal improvement for the bonefit of a few speculators in real eatato—was juggled through. If 50, it muat bo resisted in the Courts to tho last extrem Frionds of Reform and Retrenchment ! lat us not be discouraged ! This was our first ayatomatio effort; and we havo achieved some docided and gratifying suc- oesses. Let us rally around tho Citisen's Association, | and preparo to send a better delegation to our next Assembly. THE REPUBLICANS OF EUROPXE, Nearly overy country of Europe has at present | s Republican party, who look forward to the | time when the political education of the pec | shall have made sufficient progress to estal nciple of popular sove inder & republican | form of government. Their orga of ne- cessity, be imperfect so loug na OXI8 tian punishes the atterance of repub! s high treason, and forbids the publ lican newspapers. In most ¢ European avowed Republicans are not’ perwitted to rogl and they mnat seek a refuge efthor tn England or the United States. For many years the Republicana of Europe ha in Loudon a Central European Republiean Con tee, of which Mazzini is Presiden ) wong whose members are Louis Blane, Ledru Rollin, K and other well-known chiofs of the Progres This Committee has made great and incessant efforts | Lo promote political education in t al e of Europe, and to atrengthen tho belief in the & ority of republican institutions During our late war, the cause of a Free Union bad nowhere in Enrope warmer frionda than among the leaders of the Republican par They fully realized the immense importance which tho issue of our con- flict must have for the future of Republicanism in Europa. They were—so far as wo kuow, without a solitary exception—enthusiastio champious of tho ab- olitiam of Slavery and the restoration of the Union, « From the restoration of the great American Repub- lio the Republicans of Europe expect the most power- ful and lasting influence upon the progress of liberal principles in Europe. They are of opinion that a closer union between believers in popular sovereiguty and republican institutions ocould not fail greatly to promote the advance of the common cause in the Old World. They are sufficiently acquainted with thoe fundamental principle of our foreign policy not to ex- pectany armed interforence; but they are satisfied that the peaceable alliance of American and European Re- publicans for the elucidation and diffusion of republi- can principles may exercise a powerful and—in the course of time—an irresistible influence upou tho po- litical destinies of the Old World. The European Republican Committeo of London pasty 0 A | | after the appearance of Mr. Lincoln's proclamations of | would be quite as much concilisted and pleased by For vears, Tne TAr27¥ has been calling for the sale of this praperty—is for it now, and expects to remain s0. But thero will still be City property, and we shall need honest men to mansge it. Whenever it gots into the hands of men who are not honest—who manage it with paramount regard not to the public good, but to their own emolument and that of their confederate thieves—wo shall do our best to get it out of their hands, and to this end shall try one means after another, Henoe our pactiality for *“new brooms.” LET US CONSIDER THE MATTER CALMLY, The N. Y. Times, after quoting what weo said of Judge Sharkey's estimate that half the slaves of Mis- sissippi in 1360 havo since died, and his expoctations {hat the raco i3 destined (because of Emancipation) to become extinct—thus comments: “Whether his ‘expoctations’ as to their future extinction is well-founded or not, must depend, we think, upon thoir rela- tions with the Whites. They are adapted to the climate; they understand the work requisite for their support: thoir fabor will be in greater domand and better rowarded than ever be- foro; and there is nothing in_the nature of the case to render lifo more precarious among them now than it was before they wore mado free. But it cannot be denied that the relations which are to exist between them and the Whites are, In this roapeot, s in all oters, of tho utinost importano hould take precedence of all secondary mitters fa the public mind, It is on this account, partly, that wo have questioned the wis- dom of those who demand sufrage for the Southern freedmen &3 tho first atep and condition sine gua non of Restoration. In th present state of the Soutbern wind, universal negro suff. tage forced upon the Southern people would inevitably in- creaso the prejudico and hatred which are assumed to exist toward the negro race, and would thus lead to collisions and conflicts which could not fail to prove disastrous to the weaker party. Now that Slavery is extinguished, thore is no shadow Of Jastics or reason for excluding man merely on account of color from all personal, civil aud political rights enjoyed by the great mass of the peoplo; but there may be very strong reasons for caro and prudenos in the time and mode of con- forring those rights upon men hitherto excluded from thom. First, lot the relations of capital and labor be mntual, cordial and friondly, between the Whites and tho Blaci let these beoome settiod and established, so that the dependence of each upon the other shall bo felt, as it soon will be—and all elee will follow as a matter of course, by the voluutary codperation of both olasses, and will thus give tho bost possible security for permanence and stability. ““Wo nre aftaid that our extremo mon in Congress and olse- whero, who are 80 exacting upon this subject, are beginning at the wrong end, and that their polioy, if sucoessfal, woul prove injurious rather tlau benoficial to tho class they seek to B Comments by The Tritune. Judge Sharkey, it will be noted, ** expects” that the lack race in this country will become extinct any how, e does not say they will, if enfranchised; he is not contemplating that contingency; he oxpects their extinction because they have been emancipated. 1 he is a safo guide in the premises, the only way to save them from extermination is to remand thew into Slavery. The Times, however, is not prepared to advocate this alternative; hence, we submit, it can make nothing out of Judge Sharkey’s expectations. And it seems to us that they make for rather than against Black Enfranchisement. If the negroes are doomed to extinction as unenfrauchised freedmen (as Judge Sharkey and tH® Sharkey tribe ““expect”), then, we suggost, it is better to try Equal Rights; since the experiment cannot resnlt more disastrously than its altornative, if the issue of that shall conform to Judge Bharkey's expectation. Mind: we do not accept Judge Sharkey's prem- ises. Wo do not believe that the Four Million Blacks living in the Slave States in 1860 have been reduced 0 low as Three Millions, Many have died, we know; Dbut a good many have been born also; and we doubt that the mortality among the Southern Blacks has, on the whole, been greater than among Southern Whites. M bave, doubtless, left Mississippi (whereof not half the Blacks living there were natives, and it was never a favorite State with slaves;) Lut thousands of theso arc now in Texas, in Now- Orleans, in Memphis, in Louisville, and in the North. Wo are confident that tho noxt census will show wors than Three Millions of Blacks in this country. ‘The Whites of the South were generally identified in sympathy and effort with the Rebellion; the Blacks stinctively, from the first; ardently, practical Freedom—atood by the Union. There were not, say in 1564-5, & thousand negroes in the whole country who were 10t Uwionists. Yot when The Times speaks of ** the Southern mi ““the Southern people,” it ignores the Logal Millions of Blacks and contemplates tho Rebel Whites alone. We protest that this is ac- ¢ordant neither with fact, with reason, nor with the gratitude which hearty logalty should inspire. o *prejudice and batred” averred by The Times of o3 against Blacks at the South is the prejudice of hose who sought to destroy our Nationality agaiust those who prayed and fought for its preservation. The ** collisions and conflicts” are inspired, or at least intonsified, by this antagonism. The Southern Whitea are no more prejudiced against their late slavos than they are against us * Yauks;” and they our disfranchisement as by that of our Black allies in the late struggle. Yet The Times does not propose to suppross universal Northern suflrago to placate the re- coustru Why not? As to “care and prudence in the time and mode of conferring those rights,” &c., The Times does not need o be told that our only time is the present. If we do not secure enfranchisement for the Blacks in the pro- cess of reconstruction, we never can. The moment the Southern States shall have - passed tho ordeal of Congross, we shall be told, ** You are too late! The matter is settled. You can neither amend the Fedoral Constitution nor exact Black Suffrage in any form. The subject is disposed of.” Those whom The Times called *“ extremo men” did not * begin at the wrong end.” They began by treat- ing the slaves of Rebels as *contraband of war.” Neoxt they abolished Slavery in the District of Colum- bia. Then they enrolled and armed the Blacks to fight for the Union. Then they abolished Slavery by Constitutional Amendment. At length, they have placed the Civil Rights of the Blacks under the pro- tection of a Federal statute. And now they propose to crown the edifice by securing to them the Right of Suffrage. You see, they began at the right end, and od. have sent over Mr. Louis Bulowski to this country, in order to lay their plans and their hopes before the American frionds of republican institutions. Mr. Bu- lowski has been in Washington, and there discussed the subject with some of the leading membors of the Senate and House of Reprosentatives, who cordially approve the propositions of the European Committes The first step toward effecting an American organiza- tion for the purpose of cobperating with the European Republicans was taken in this city on Thursday night, when a committee, with E. A. Stansbury as chairman, was appointed to propare a reply to the address {rom the European Committee to the people of the United States. The New York Committeo will also make the nocessary proparations for calling public meetings in the large citics of the Union, to discuss the subject and pass appropriate resolutions. The proposition of the London Committee is one of great importance, and only noeds to be fully under- stood to meet everywhero with cordial approbation and warm support. The Commercial Advertiser abaundons its “new- broom" position by a flank movement, saying: “Tug TRIBUNE advocates new Boards of Commissioners and new men to administor this vast property picrs, wharves, markets, &c.,] which now brings little or nothing into the Emlu lnunl{. The Commercial, on_tho coutrary, advocates 0 sale of all ihis vast property, and the application of the proceeds to the payment of the city debt. Such measure will relieve the oitizens of the beavy taxes now levied to al- minister this vast property, and’ tho eity debt, as well 84 thoss n to provide for the ‘interost on the latter. This wil m the 840,000,000 y its fair mnrm of the publio expenditares, thns further roliovi owners of other property, and this wili leave markot: piers and wharves to the management of private ladividuals, . stimulated by competition and self interent, would soon farnish us with markets and docks end piers unsurpassed in any city in the world.

It seems to them that the true way to ‘‘make the relations of Capital and Labor mutual, cordial and friendly,” is to place both under the protection of Equal Rights and Equal Laws. That is the course pursued with the relations of White Labor to Capital, and it has worked well. Then why not extend it to Black also? What reason can be given for leaving this grave matter to the uncontrolled discretion of the lato slave-holding Rebels that would not have bheen as kood a reason for loaving the Abolition of Slavery to their discretion as well 1 CABLYLE, Mr. Carlyle's discourse meets with two sets of critics in England. The LondonStandard, in behalf of *‘super- lative worth and power " againat * the dull average of common-place people,” says: **Mr. Carlyle does not believe in Democracy—no real man of thought does.” The Star, on the other haud, feels ** disappointed that Carlyle has nothing to tell us beyond the old story that the rule of despotic streugth is mankind’s sole order; that everything new is contemptible; that only by dictatorship of great, domineering, Cromwellian minds can humanity bedriven to any goal worth reach- ing.” 8o, in fact, runs the current of a great part of the Lord Rector's speech—the wisest and kindest eynic- ism, in its way, that has been heard for many years, All that he said about the virtue of study, the holiness of health, the wisdom and duty of silence and reverence, was wholesome and timely to his audience and the hour, and perradingly reverent of those institutions under which he held his Reotorship; but otherwise, and aside from his well-known bias, his remarks may mean avything aud evorything, aud we doubt tleir | Who was Oliver Cromwell? In short terms, an ugly brewer, sprung from *“‘the dull average and decapitated “‘superlative worth and powor” with. out compunction. And John Knos, Mr. Carlyle's other favorite, was much the same sort of good fellow —a violent popular reformer, with a bony nose and big knuckles, who wrapped his demands out on the Queon's table. But the philosopher opposes having any more Cromywells and Knoxes; conveniently stops hero-worshiping at two centuries ago, and forgets, while talking against *“wind and talk,” that a great many mora people are able to talk than were two centirics ago. Now, if we should search for the re- mains of the better spirit of Cromwell and his saints, would it be with Lords Derby or Malmsbury in the House of Lords, or with John Bright in the House of Commons ! USELESS OFFICIALS, If anything were wanting to prove that our City and County Government is a perfect farce, that fact might be settled conclusively by an observer who should bave taken a trip to Albany avy day during the past month. At times nearly every prominent office-holder in the City Government was away from his post, and to be found in the State capitol, The Street Commissioner, Mr. Cornell, has been absent from bLis Department all the past three months, sitting as & Senator from the Fifth District. His salary, $7,500, is regularly paid him, and his De- partment takes care of itself. The Surrogate, Mr. Tucker, has been away from his court more than three mouths, sitting as a Representative in the Assembly. His salary is duly paid, and the dead men, widows, orphans, executors and administrators to wait patiently upon the leisure of this icial legislator. In eddition to those, hordes of Aldermen, Councilmen, subordinates from depart- s, Clerks, Commissioners, Members of Boards, Deputies, Assistants, and what-not have been throng- ing the lobbies of the Logislature, day after day, utterly noglecting thoe interests of the city and entirely ab- sorbed in farthering their own. And yet New-York City appears to be not a bit altered on this account. It scoms to get along as well as ever, and some earn- est, practical persons have seriously proposed. that we should double the salarics of such officials, if they will only keep away altogether. One thing, however, ia proved by all this: that we have about four times as many rulers in the City Government as are neces- sary; that heads of departmonts can be spared; that Common Councilmen, Clorks and Deputies can be spared, and that if the salary roll of this City Govern- ment were cut down three-quarters, we should save money directly and indirectly here, and prevent the corruption of the source of law at Albany. The colored people of Norfolk, Va., recently formed in procession and marched ‘through the streets, in honor of the passage of the Civil Rights bill. Certain badly reconstructed White rufians attacked them on the way, intending to break thom up, but got the worst of the fray. Whereupon says The Express: “ The News oites the recont massacre of Whiles by the negroes at Noifolk, as the natural reault of the pernicious teackings of Undor proper discipline, the negro is dooile and manageable; but, pampered and spotied by indulgence, he soon becomes arrogant and insubordinate.” — Thank God for the Civil Rights bill, and for every measure that tends to protect the poor and the humble against such rutlians as assailed the Norfolk procession, and such villains as are allowed to pervert the columna of journals to throwing the blame of their ruffianism on the objects of their brutal antipathy ! ‘Who ever heard of Blacks assailing a White proces- sion ? The Daily News hasa letter from an ox-Rebel in West Virginia, who—in opposition to the Coustitu- tional Amendment disfranchising Rebels—says: “1t is & notorions faot—as any Federal officer stationed in West Virginia during the war will testify—that two-thirds, if not four fifths, of the intelligence and viztuo of the State were on the side of the Rebellion.” —As the vote of the Counties now composing Wost Virginia on the question of ratifying the Secession ordinance of the Virginia Convention shows a ma- jority of at least two to one for the Union, this writer makes **intelligence and virtue " scarce articles iy West Virginia.

Naval Tatelligen AFPAIRS AT PORTSMOUTH (. ) NAVY-TARD, Naval matters at this station have been in staguation for a considerable leugth of time, b the past weok an unwonted dogree of activity b manifested in pushing forward the repairs apon the vesse now at the Navy-Yard for that purpose. W hat the reassa for this bustle 1s, can only be conjectured, but it is - rally bolieved that it is owing to the difliculties whic expected to arise from the termination of the Reciprocity treaty with Canada. The tone of the peopl terested in matters portaining to" the fishe: this quarter, i3 quite belligerent, and notlfing would, -ppmml{., be more accoptable to them than & war with England, which would enable them to retaliats for the injuries inflicted on American commerce during tha Rebellion by the British built and British mauaed priva- toers furnished to the Rebels by that power. Another subject much canvassed here is the Fenian demonstratisn agninst New-Brunswick and the Canadas. The Fonians are decidedly in favor hore, not so much from any great respect or love borne by the natives of this section foc “ Ould Iroland” as from a desire to ‘soe the Bluenosos, who permitted the organization upon their svil, of the raids on our froutier towns during the late war, repaid in their own coin.
