As there is not likely to be any serions opp tion, we regret that the nomination conld not hav been promptly coufirmed, so that Mr. Smythe could have taken hold to-day, or at farthest to-morrow. It would have very much simplified accouuts if he could bave begun with May. We print this morning a pungent lotter from Wex- pELL Prrinies to Gov. Bullock of Massachusetts, on the banging of Green. The execution of that man was one of the most culpable that any State Las ever been guilty of, and the day is not distant when Gov- ernor and Conncil and Court will be equally glad to escape—if they can—the responsibility for it. Wa believe Mr. Phillips's letter rests on a basis of facts that cannot be impeach We invite the champions of the * Equalization” of bounties to consider the statement, elsewhere printed, of the bounties paid to soldiers and sailors by New- York alone. The amount exceeds Eighty-six Millions of Doilars, and does not include the bouuty granted by Government, which would doubtless bring it up to One Hundred Millions and over. Itis highly credit. able to the patriotism of any State to have raised this amount; but when accepted by tho oldiers as suffi- cient, we see no reason why an increased sumn should o raised three years later. Yet the bill before Con- gress ignores all payments of bounty by the 8' t¢, so that the men who received these Eighty-six Millions will get just as much more from the Governmeat as if the State had not paid them a cent.

No one who knows thing of the interior work- ings of Congress can doubt that a large majority of Dboth Houses are at heart anxions to establish w sal suffrage. decist which each 1o has affirmed the principle in legislating for the Dis- trict of Columbia; the open declarati its favor of many members, from whom opposikion was natur- ally to liave been expec wh, though un- avowed sentiments of other nificant fact that Congresa } h rati ad ary to propose equal suflrage in some form as @ ctly clear that measure of compromis:, make it p the judgment of Congress is decided in favor of the measure, ony of its friendgand its enen iut. It is the burden of the che by the devotees of the Prosident. by all the confidential s and their friends.

As amatterof course, all the New-England 8¢ , except those from Couneeti- cut, favor equal suffrage, that g the rule in their own States. Inaddition to th (ten in number), Senators Foster, Yates, I Kirkwood, Brown, s, Wade, and Howe, are on a matter of principle, making s asto whose views there is no record in its fi 25 ont of 49 8 doubt. pritions in favi 43 & necessary compromi Messrs. Conness, Trum- bull aud She: understood to be favorable, dnd Mr. Morgan rted a proposition for the extension of the hise in his own State. In short, out of 39 Repablica: s, only five are clearly understood to bo opposed, on principle (or interest), to an extension of the suf A similar analysts of the Lower Honse would show a similar result. * Why, then, does Congress hesitate to give effect to its convictions? Why does it not declare plainly nat political as well as civil rights shall be equally distributed? Partly becauso it doubts its power, but far more because it fears that the people of the North will not sustain such a policy. Tho defeat of that policy last Fall, in Counecticut, Wisconsin and Min- nesota, hangs like a nighitmaro upon our legislators. Remembering how recently Tllinois and Indiana voted by immense majorities to exclude colored peo- ple from the commonest rights of humanity, and for- bade them even to enter thoso States, they doubt the possibility of a change so great as to induce their peo- ple to tolerate equal suffrage. Let us, then, look this difficulty squarely in the face, and determine how much weight it onglit to have in the minds of states- men, or even politicians, And first, we beg to remind our Representatives that the question which they need to decide is not whether a popalar vote ean be obtained in favor of equal suflcage as an abstract proposition, but is simply whether & majority can be obtained for candidates who persoually favor and vote for that proposition. We assert that experience has repeatedly shown that thousands of men whose prejudices will not let them vote for equal suffrege nevertheless vote cheerfully for men whom they know to be supporters of that policy. In 1560, for example, tho proposition was voted down in this State by 140,000 majority, while at the same time candidates universally kuown to be in its favor received 50,000 majority. We do not know a single Assemblyman who was defeated upon this is- sue. A great numberof membors who had voted for the proposition in the Legislature were candidates for re- election, and nearly or quite all of them were re- elected, while we never heard of one who lost ten votes upon this sccount. 8o in Ilinois and Indiana: Messrs, Lovejoy and Julian, as to whose views there was not the slightest doubt, were repeatedly elected from districts which never could be got to vote for equal suffrage directly, Tho same thing happened in Wisconsin and Minnesota last fall, and in Counecticat this Spring. Gov. Hawley, it is true, ran some- what behind his ticket in the last-named State; but he was elected, nevertheless, in & Stato which gave 6,000 majority against equal suffrage. Nor is there any reason to believe that he lost many votes on thi ticular ground, A Radical of Parson Brown' :::RP would bave fared no better—probally oot 1an a has su The clections last Fall aro of minor impor: upon this question, for another re. on.

Th s was forbidden at common law, and mora particu- Liizaboth and since. lrlnly«rlnllun of live shoep, or emba ship, to be enforced in the Southern States. Many thought that such a vote would operato as & censure upon Mr. Johuson; and they were unwilling to make an issue with him upon that point. No semsible man can doubt that, if the President had insisted upon equal suffrago at the South, it would have boon adopted by decisive majorities at the North. In the next place, we ask consideration for the ob- vious fact that the doctrine of equality is rapidly and surely gaining ground. Qyten as it has been defeated, it has with every succeeding election received a larger proportion of the votes cast. It is absolutely certain to win in the end; and no shrewd politician will un- dervaluo the importance of anticipating a little the ultimate popular verdict. Nothing gives such lasting popularity as the courago aud foresight which enables a man, known to be practical, to go patiently under 8 temporary cloud, if he is finally proved to have been right. Trimmers and shufflers are not respected by any party. Is thero any issuc before the people which will more certainly compensate for a brief period of unpopularity than that of which we now speak ? Tt ranst also be remembered that the people never fight long overa dead issue. Whon a question has renlly been irrevocably settled, those who do not fully approve of the seitlement nevertheless speedily acquicsce, and forget thoir resontment toward those who achicved the work, This has been illustrated a hundred times, and is again proved by the present disposition of the pro-Slavery Democracy to make pets of Democrats who voted to abolish Slavery. Now, if there is any one thing which more than all others is irrovocable, it is a wide extension of the elective ichise. If the mass of the colored people are once endowed with the right of suffrage it will be as im- wosaible o take it away from them as it would be to Jrive the waters of the Atlantic from their bed. The work ouce done would be done forever. 1f, then, the Southern States were restored to their places with equal suffrage established by o constitu- tional Congressional evactment, it would be impossi- ble to maintain any long controversy upon the sub- ject. The worst conceivable result would be a defeat like that of 1862, having no permancat effect, and fully recovered in the course of a year. Such an oc- casional defoat must be sustained under any imagisa- ble poliey. Uniform and unbroken vietory caunot be boped for by auy political party; indeed, it is vot really desirable. On the other hand, who can esti- mate the permanent addition to the strength of a party which creates 600,000 new voters by 8 single measure, all of whom know that they owe to it every privilege that they enjoy? Contrast with this prospect the chances for a plan of mere oxclusion. Such a policy must of necessity e trausitory. What strength will it add to the parly enforcing it? Whose affections will it win? Who will remember it with any personal sense of pleasure or pride? Consider, too, that one disastrous election would suffico to break down the whole scheme. Even during the brief period of its existence, it would be in continual peril, The mind of tho country would never bo at rest. Either branch of Congress might at any moment nultify the most stringent laws of exclu- sion, and in a day undo the work of years. And here the very converse of what we have said concerning equal suffrage is true of o gystem of exclu- sion. Ounce broken down, it could never be re- stored. A single defeat would be cortainly fatal to the policy, and probably fatal to the party which supported it. It would be as absurd to try to deprive cleven States of their represeutation, after it had onece been conceded, 85 it would bo to attempt te take the from a vast class of men who hadonce franchi exercised it These reflections lead us to the conclusion that the ereat want of our statesmen at tho present moment is courage. They are afraid to trust the people npon aplatform at all in advance of the current popular .utiment. They arevin danger of drifting behind the tido through fear of putting up their sails, They dread to be in advance of their age; forgetting that they are roally behing the massof the party which elected them. Real prudence now consists in the ut- most boldness for a godd canze. If a general waited for Lis troops, or even for bLis officers, to ‘become una: mons in favor of a forward movement, when would he attack the enomy ! If he waited for all the stragglers o o in, when would he marca? . Gentlemen of Congress! youaro the leaders of the Union army. It looks to you for the word of com- mand. If you wait for its unanimous advice and con- sent, you may wait forever. Seven-eighths of therank and £le, you well know, desire a broad and enduring policy. The minori 1 hold back, and will threaten disaffection, and even desertion, so long as such threats will avail. Bat you should not fear such mut- torings, Lead the battle—do not follow in it morely. Commit yourselves to docisive action, according to the dictates of your conscience and your judgment. Learn wisdom from the children of darkness. What carried the South into and through four years of desolating war? What brought about the marvel- ous unanimity of its Whites? What but the daring, the boldness, the audacity, of its political leaders? Imitate the example in a better cause. Your con- stituents cannot and dare not desert you. The mass of them have no disposition to do so; and they will bring up the fow stragglers. Victory will surely at- tend bold and comprehensive measures; whilo timidity and temporizing will lead to irretrievable defeat. THE LEFT HMAND (UT OFF AND NAILED ve! British-Free-Trade-McCulloch states in his Com- mereial Dictionary that **from 1660 down to 1525 the export of wool from England was strietly prohibited That was Protection—one hundred and sixt years of protection, in one direction, of a single British manufacture. McCulloch tells us that the Parliament of England was moved to this legislation in favor of the cloth-making interest of the kingdom by “* the notion which grew up toward the end of the 17th, and contiuued to gain ground during the first half of the last cen- tury, that the wool of England was superior to that of every otlier country—thnt long wool could not be produced anywhero olso; and thatif e succended in keeping the raw matorial at . we should infallibly command the warket of the world for solon manafactures. In consequonce, innumerable statutes were passed—the enactments in some of which were the most arbitrary aad severe that can be {magined—to pre. vout the clandestine exportation of wool,” And he adds historically, ** The. improvement of ma- chinery, by enabling short or clothing. woal to bo ap- plied to most of those purposes for which long or combing wool had heen exclusively appropriated, had annihilated the only apparently tenable argument on which the prohibition of exportation Lad even been in- dicated.” That is, protection had déne its full work by permauently establishing the woolen manufacture, and the doors were thrown open and all nations wero invited to it down in England to tho Freo-Trade feast which had been 165 years cooking for them. * Arbitrary and severe enactments” of British Par- lisments to build up the woolen manufacture, con- fesses MeCulloch, He draws language mildly. “Owl- ing" was the name given by statute not only, but by the common law of England, to Free Trade in wool, before England was prepared for Free Trade by hav- ing acquired snperiority over all the world in ma- chinery, and obtained control of the world's commerce.

For 165 ycars the meat-ax of British law chopped off the Englishman's left hand that so much interfered with England’s pro- teotion of one of her nnestablished industries, as to carry on board a foreign-bound ship a aingle lock of wool. And this infloxible purpose, this merciless de- termination, ever waited on by jealousy and vigilance, characterized for two centuries of time the continnous protection, by Parliaments and courtsof justice, of all British manufactures.

Wo aro to have yet another opera season, W will carry onr musical sngagemests nearly into tie month of June.

Oue wis the breaking up of an old established custom, Which was very opprossive upon operatic managers, namely, the ogether to purchase boxes for the season. Thus, two familics buy oue box, using it alternately, deprive the management of just on balf the pstronage, and hal? the emolument, e persons enjoying ¢ operatic season at the price for four. This custom was also opp ive in many ways, and Mr. Grau's agent, Mr. D2 Vivo, detormined to br up. He called a consultation with iufluential gen leaders of the pross, and explaized bis intentions to them. They pronounced it impracticable, an tnnovation that lio wou!d not tolerate, aud advised blm not to attempt Le was determined, and zot them at last to promisafaot to op- sent to the Press.

OFf severcl, raport speaks very highly, more eapectally of Signorina Boschotti and Siguor An astasi, who were tho especial favorites of the Havanese, The company is composed of the following artists: Soprani—Mme, Gazzauigs, Noel Guidi, Boschotti, and Si- wons-Muzio, Contralti—Mme.

Mr. Leonard Grover's opera season of two weeks closed with the Matinée on Saturday last. Sandwiched be- tween the last nights of Maretzek's and the first nights of Grau's opera, the Gerwan cowpany necessarily bhad many chances agaiost them, Thelr success was, consequently, only moderate, whilo their merits deserved a much more brilliang result. The company contains many excellent, though not first-class singers, but all are musiclans and earvest, pains taking artists. ‘With less brillisuce than the Italian’ artists and voices inferior in quality, they siag and act with spirit and fidelity, presenting with the other departments, so excelient v every respect, an ensemble so satisfying, that we are content to put up with the want of high individual excellonce.
