WHAT RIGHT ¢ The Lrening Post, inan appeal to * Tho Union Party,"” forcibly says: “That the Iate Slave States should confor the Hlfil of Suffrage to the Colored race on the same terms as they allowed to the White, 18 a whioh we buve always maintaioed and maiutain ‘We hold, moreover, that to permit a State which only allows the Right of Suffrage to the Whits man, while bl its inhabitants are Colored, (o send to Congre.s twice the numbar of represeatatives that are elected by a State which bas the same number of White citizens and no Colored inhabitants. is an inequality which is in o bigh degree unjust. If the late Rebol States are permitted to send representatives to Congress without any change intheir laws relating to elections, 8 double wrong will be committed—a class of men worthy of itical rights by their devotion to the Union, if by no other title, will remain disfranchised, and the States in which they live, the States lately in open and criminal rebellion, will be admitted into the Union with a_reprosentation in Congre and A vote in the election of President, which the most zealo; friend of Southern interests eannot deny will be vastly larg than the proportion of their constituencies. ‘The Slave Stat witkout any incrense of their real constituency, will large increase of representation. —Yet, after this unanswerable presentment of the real gist of the matter, The Post turns a short corer, follows: view of the matter that in the ease which we have supposed, the wide of the Rebel States. It which will have aa un stage in the representation; it is they which will ba obstinately wit trom the colored race the but let it be considered ! il be on tion, TOWin gle, to see justice done them. We wmay be g 1075, if we choose, iu the surrender or bestowal of our own right to an equal voiece in the Government wo bave rescned from the deadly elateh of red-handed Treason atits throat; but itis not so clear that we may just fiably win credit for liberality by giving or siguing away the rights of others. If the Blucks should see fit to say, * our late masters come back into Con gress with two votes each—one for themselves, one cast as for ns—while we have mo votes and no rights but such as they may choose Lo accord us"— that might be ever so weak aud short-sighted, but it would certainly have a flavor of real generosity; but * | for us to offer to waive or surrender the rights of those whose efforts and whose blood were whose praye: would evince a species of generosity which is far more common than proper or admirable. We pray The Post to reconsider the mattersin the light of the grudging, higgling ;Black legislation of the reconstructed States, also of the recent develop- ments at Norfolk and Memphis, and ba convinced that there is nothing safe nor truly magnanimons that does uot secure All Rights for All. Daring the quarter ending last December, the losses in 110 considerable fires throughout the conntry are reckoned above $20,000,000, and those for the whole year double the year previous, and far ex- coeding many former years. This is accounted for by extraordinary losses in certain fires, such as the burn- ing of cotton, and Government and city warehouses, aud one or two extensive factories, Seventy-five fires ocourred in New-York State, with a loss of nearly $5,000,000. Twenty-five houses were destroyed iu a single fire at Lima, N. Y., and 100 in Belfast, Me. The severcst loss of life during a fire occurred at Charleston, where a score of people were killed by falling walls. Cotton burned at store and on ship- board amonnted to about 7,000 bales. In nine years he tota! in fires of $20,000 and npward falls short of 72,000,000, We aro here generally estimating only land and house fires, and perhaps not in all respects from an insurance point of view. Let us add a review of the recent qnarter, ending with the last of April. 1In 3% | fires of $100,000 loss and npward, the total destrue- ! tion amounted to $10,670,000. We compare this | with the former quarter, in which 3% fircs of the i game degree oceurred, with s general reported loss of | more than ®18,000,000. The chief losers have been the Cities of Now-York, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Buflalo, the Oil Regions, the Michigan Central and :l'cuu"lv;\nit\ Railroads, and the General Goveru- " ment. Cotton, amounting to between three and | four millions of dollars, was burned in Mobile. | Pike's splendid operabonse was lately destroyed in Cincinnati; and in the last ¢ months, chic the quarter just past, a score of fires dried as many wells in tho oil regions. Fires on ship, steumboat, and railroad have not yet been reckoned, but make up a large supplement to the other volume of losws by fire. The amount of cotton thus destroyed in the last two quarters would easily reach 12,000 bales—a fact of further wirning sgainst careless shipment aud storage. ok ics of railroad disaster ave still of prevailing | interest, end full of gravesuggestion. From Septem- | ber to January, the number of accidents, involving loss of property and life—say at least an average of two deaths (o excl occurrence—were 76, of which 23 were ontright collisions. In eight cases trains were precipitated; eight more wero explosions; in three, bridges broke down; in four, switches were misplaced, and in one or two instances the cars ran off trestles. On several railroads as many as three or four locomo- tives were destroyed in twenty-four hours. The rail- roads of New-York were debited with twenty acci- deats. On all the railroads of the country, estimating | of Music in Washington; to reorganize the Pay Depart- | was introduced, | ibiting deposits of public funds except | freely and fervently given to the National Cause, ' | i | from the quarterly figures, tho accidonts werp not far loss thau 200 during the year 1865, Coutrasted with this statement, the qum*or gone by shows either impiovement or good fortupd in the munagement of the roads. We count ol acei- dents, the worst of fliem two collisions on jrailroads vew-York, and one caso of bridge-hreaking; the 1 a loss of between fifty and ~(-\‘(‘F | A phenomenal crinte, the attempt by one person to | cause a train to be thrown off the track, whs lately frustrated on the Shore-line Road. We see that in | eight wonths very uearly one huadred railTnd acci- dents take place, more than one-fourth of the number coliisions, and at legst one-tenth explosions. | Here it is worth while making a general count of explosions. Out of 31 which vecurred betiyeen Sep- tember and January, 8 were on railroads, 10 on steaw- boats, 8 in shops and factorics; 4 were fom gun- powder, and one from glinoin oil, or nitro- Iycerine. Between January a 4 May occurred 23, so of them of most terrible character, and nearly all dxplosions of engine boilers, By the explosions of thd steamers Missouri and Miami, and the steamboat Cnrdvr, ou the Ohio and Mississipgh Rivers, more thau 400 lives wero lost. The new exjlosive essenco, known|as nitro- o,has already cost three accidents, ahd nearly . By 56 explosions, in the last eight months, it is not improbable that 1,000 persons have been killod. This dry stitement is the index off most ap- palling catastrophes. | Steumboat accidonts and losses have a similar painful vaziety. Ot of 70 boats lost or {lestroyed, principally on the ‘Westorn rivers, 13 had céllided, 10 exploded, 7 were birned, and nine lost throgh leak- age. Fivo disasterp took place ou the Laked, for 7 or 8 on the Mississippi; 12 steamboats and bnrgob were lost by the 8t. Louis ice-gorge. By the explosions and coltisions probably 500 lives were lost. fu tho suc- coeding quarter we reckon 42 steamers lost; but these include such foarful disasters as the burnings and ex- plosions of the stéamers Missouri, Minmi, Carter, and Lockwood, with an aggrogate loss of about 500 lives.

But the march of centuries lias changed all this. Instead of now looking for the' robber to ply his calling along the lonely country road, those who have had to deliver their purses the oftener to our modern highwaymen—those who have thh money to lose, and upon robhing whom the thieves are bent— | know full well that the highwaymen who are now the most audacious and most formidable are to be found in the Common »'ouncil of the City of New-York. We do not exactly know the power of the Police in the premises—1we aro not sure as to the limits of their authority—but we respectfully offer the suggestion for | their serious consideration, that they have the like- nesses taken of the ** Ring” members of the Common Council, to ke hun_ np among their fitting companious in the **Rognes’ Gallery." These highwayaen, who preyed upon individuals beforo they warn clocted to office, but who have preyed upon the phiblic since, are now bent upon cou- summating another scheme of gigantie proportions, learned no doubt from their able and accomplished preceptor, Capt. Boole, and which is worthy, per- haps, the inventive genins of that most wonderful man. This schenje is as follows: It has been the pustom of the Common Couneil, in violation of law pnd against the public interest, to allow persons to incumber the sidewalks 1.ith stands, wigns, &e., for somo of which permissions it is well | known that tho Alderman or Councilman who pnshed | through the job receive a largo annual rent. The | practice of introducing separate resolutions in each cnse, allowing Mrs. Flanagan or Bridget Moloney to sell poanuts at a aross-walk *‘during the pleasure of the Common Council,” and permitting Mr. Smith to have a soda-water stand on a certain corner, or to extend a sign over the sidewalk, had grown so irksomo and so expensive, and oonsumed so much time, that, by a resolution adopted not long since, a new desk was created in the Mayor's office to have chatge of granting all such permits; but “ the Ring” took care to look out for its pecuniary interests at the same time, for they resolved, also, that no ruch permit should be granted unless the signatures of the Alder- man and Councilnan residing in the same district as the applicaut shonld first be obtained. But, asintheold fable ** Much wants more," some genius among our City Fathers thonght it would be a good thing to imitate the old system of Boole's Health Wardens, and create about forty-four new officers at large salaries to have charge of supervising this matter of granting permits, to incumber the sidewalks, to be sinecure jositions for favorites. But tlere arose a difficulty—there was an obstaclo to be got over. The desk of grauting per- mits had been created in the Mayor's office, and it was feared that Mayor Hoffman would be too mindful of the interests of the City to fill the offices, if the measure shonld be passed over his veto, with the creatures of the Common Council. 8o, on Wednes- day of last weck, & resolution or ordinance was intro- duced into the Board of Aldermen creating what for the purpose of granting these permits. The positions which this resolution proposes to cre- ate would not cost much—only the paltry sum of sixty thousand dollars per year, a mere trifle in these times—and then it would be such a fine thing to have Masters murching in horse-manure, forty-four Gr | arow. | Traly, Gallilso was right when be swid ** The world ! moves.” Are we not right when we call the men highway- men who attempt to perpetrate these wrongs! Do they not lie in wait to rob the tax-payer? Is it not their zole and only business to devise schemes where- Ly they can fill their purses and yot keep themselves ontside the clutches of the law? Citizens' Assodiation, preventing the creation of any | more offices, if the Common Council should pass this nefarions scheme, we call upon Mayor Holfman, be- Lands a sufficient ti take full legal effect, so that onr City Fathers cannot, by passing the measure over his veto, make it effective in spite of the Legislature, This scheme can very easily he passed over the Magor's veto; for the Boayd of Aldermen is all one way save Aldermen Varnum and Gedney, and in the Board of Councilmen is a ** Ring” compored of Demo- crats aud Republicans, that will pass any scheme that pays, no matter how ontrageons. In the Board of Aldermen we look to Alderman Varnum to ventilate thematter, and in the Board of Councilmen the frionds of Leform and of honesty look to Councilmen amounts to & new bureau in the Street Department | forty-four Grand Inspectors of peanuts, doughnutsand | Now that the Governor has signed the City Tax | | Levy, which contains & provision int;oduced by the | fore ho returns it with his veto, to retain it in his | to allow the new Tax Levy to | | | with particular re Pullmon, Whits, Kollogg, Thomass, Roborts and Tyng to fight it with all their energy. When we donounce the Board of Couacilmen as a body, the above-uamed gentlemen must not think that we do ot draw a distingtion between the very few| honest men and the very many rogues that compose it. In a fow days we way open fire upon those Republican and City Reform members of that Board who have s0ld themselves for gold and whose pockets are well filled with their ill-gotten gains. We have & record of the conduct aud votes of these traitors to party, to pledges and to honesty; and that record shall soon be held up before the public. “At any rate, the Republi- | | can members of the * Ring” need not flatter them- selves that they are avoiding observation, or that we will allow their conduct to escapo the notice of their constituents, In the meanwhile we would encourage the fow bonest men fu either Board to persevore in their efforts, as heretofore, in endeavoring to protect the rights aud intorests of our citizens. THE BOMEARDMENT OF VALPARAISO. The offioial dispatch on the bombardment of Vulpa- raigo, from the commander of the Spauish squadron, which we give this morning in another column, far- nishes a fuller account of the negotiations which, im- mediately before the bombardment, were carried on betweon the Spanish commander and the repre- sentatives of the Foreign Powers—especially those of tho United States—than any heretofore published. Whether the account is correct in all its details it is impossible to say befors hearing again from the other parties concerned. In one very important point there is a signal discrepancy between the dispatch from Admiral Nuficz and that from Commodore Rodgers. The latter, which was pub- lished in Tne TRiUNE of May 3, contains the following statement: “Upoa my arrival in this port with the squadron under my command, 1 called upon the English Admiral, who bad ia- formod m that ha intended to prevent any sudden bombard- ment, and would only suffer it after mn%l: notice, To this I made no reply, but, ‘nlng considered the matter, sought the ocoasion the next day to say that I would ioln bim in prevent- ing any sudden bombardwent, and that T would also go as muok further as he chose. “* T assured bim that tae Monadnock coall take care of the Numanoia; that from target experiments I had witnessed, [ Was absolctely cortain that in not less than thirty seconds, and not more than thirty minutes, the Monadnock herself, entirely Unassstod, woubd leave only the mastheads of the Numaocia above wator, and that our wooden vessels, English and Amer- ican, oould 100k out for the wooden vessels of the Spaniards.” Nothing in the dispatoh indicates that Commodore Rodgers subsequently changed his opinion, and he whas, therefors, generally understood to say that if at any time before the bombardment the English Ad- miral had declared his readiness to resist it, the American vessels wonld have joined him in the. at- tempt. Admiral Nuiier, on the contrary, asserts tlat Com- modore Rogers ohanged bis opinion. He says: *On the same day, the 23th, I was once more visited by the American Commodore, accompanied by the Seerstary of Lega- tion, with the apparent purpose of hauding the reply to my tommunication. Om doing 0, he said that he bad intended to oppose tie bumbardment of Valparaiso by force, because ho was at the time convinced that Spaiu_could not lawfully do so, and that Chili was in the right; but that subsequently ho Lad arrived ot the concluaion tat right, moderation and dignity were on the side of Spain; wherefore, Le not ouly should not opposs auyibing, but that his ships wonld move out of the way at 8 o'clook on the morning of the Jlst.” The country will expect from Commodore Rogers an explanation relative to this serious discrepancy. —_— TENNESSEE. The Legislature of Tennessee having passed an act more completely disfranchising Rebels, a meeting of Union members was held on the eveniug of the 3d inst. to exchange congratulations thereupon; at which Gov. Brownlow spoke as follows: “Bat a short time since, T was visited by & Tennesses oflicer in an Arkansas Rebel regiment, who told me that the Rebels 1ad po right to complain of the franchise bill; that he sub- mitted cheerfully, and it was within his personal knowledge that, if the Confederates achieved their independence, it was their purpose to disfranclise every Union man in the South.
