During the week ending at 2 p. m. on Satarday, there wore, ia this eity, 27 doaths, being an increase of 334 as compared with tbe week previous. With the exception of 44 cases of sunstroke and 31 of congestion of the brain, caused by the oxcessive heat, this great mortality of the past week is attribatable to diarcheal diseasos. The mortality of the week ending June 7 was equivalent to an annnal death rate of 35.29 to every 1,000 inbabitauts; while that of the week eading on Satarday was oquivalent to a deatb.rate of 52,20 fu the samo number.

Bpescbes were wade Ly Messrs Doualleon, Stasts, Goff It Steuben Co.) and MoClellasd. Dennison, Speed and Harlan from the Cabinet. The cause of resignation is in each case indubitable, Attorney-General Speed’s letter, replying to Mr. Doolittle's note of invitation to the Convention to be beld in Philadelphia, contrasts strongly with the let- ter of the Secretary of State. Estimating it at the least, it is a grateful recognition of that party, which, having made and diguified several distiuguished men, 10 considerable number of men are able to uumake by degrading themselves. ———— Shylock has again appeared in Court. Mr. Dean, of the township of Romulus, Micbigan, having a tinge of African blood in his veins, was prosecuted for casting a vote in violation of the State Constitution, which confines the franchise to white male adults. The Supreme Court of that State construe the Con- stitution to permit any man who has less than one- quarter African blood in his body to vote; hence, to all purpose, Mr. Dean is a white man. But why a quadroon can be declared white and vote, while one who has less than one-half negro blood in his veins is disfranchised, 1s imperceptible to the finest diserimina- tion. A thimble-full of colored blood Las often dis- qualified a voter where an ounce of brains has been a satifactory qualification for a Copperhead elector. ‘The Judges would have a delicate task before them in weighing brains as they measure blood, and yet the law excluding from representation millions of colored citizens is not one whit more abswrd in its adjudication than would be a Commission charged to determine what weight and measure of brains is necessary to a vote. Inthe Southern States one-eighth and one- sixtoonth negro blood was enough to constitute a maa & nogro sad au outcast; in the Nocthera Stalos s and with what measure the able to weigh and find out with what sc Shylocks of the Court have beea g mete out citizenship. Nothing but impartial suffrage will reliove us from the necessity of carrying ona system of infinitessimal cruelty and outrage against human rights and common-sense. The people who are presumed to act for the Presi- dent make a mistake when they advise the Legislature of Tennesseo not to vote for the new Constitutional Amendments, To show the character of this grave del wo extract from a letter addressed by the Presidont's son-in-law, Mr. Patterson, and the Presi- dent's Private Secretary, Mr. Cooper, to the people of that State: “You are now gravely called upon by the majority fn Coa- gress and his Excellency the Goveruor {o sa; an amend ment to the Foederal Coostitution, which, if ratified by the States, will deprive you of your recognized political powor, on the number of your Ropresentatives in the National ture, unless you shall st their bidding clothe the negro with the right of suffrage. Nothing more is needed to prove that the President himself is throwing obstacles in the way of Tennes- s0e's admission to the Union. The Bourbons, we are told, remember nothing, and forget nothing. It will not surprise Mr. Johnson's agents to hear that tho President himself is responsible for the Constitu- tional Amendment affecting representation. That amendment in text and in substance will be found in his lotter to Gov. Sharkey of Mississippi, and bis official suggestions to Congress. The letter from the city's contracting scavengers to the Board of Health is unsavory roading for these warm days; but it must bs accepted in a sanatige and pub- lic spirit. Messrs, Brown, Devoo and Knapp com- plain with justice, we have not a doubt, that the Board of Health have complained only nine times about them. Why bas not the Board performed its duty, and made complaint ninety-nine times? The con- tractors do well in remipding the Board that when they throw rubbish at the cleaners of the city they are in danger of soiling their own hands. They make plausible objection, beside, that the garbage-boxes are really too offensive to remove. It is asking too much for the money. But no harm is done, we trust, in calling the Board's attention to several sections of the Health ordin b Justices Lott and Gilbert, of the Supreme Court (I1d District) of our State, yesterday delivered in Brooklyn opinions affirming the constitutionality of the New Excise law. The precise point affirmed in either case was the right of the Legislature to regulate (not probibit) the traffic in intoxicating Liquors— this being all that was involved in the cases before them—the defendants having been arrested by the Police for selling without license, and having depended broadly on the assumption that the law is unconstitu- tional. Both Judges decide that this will not answer. Judges Lott and Gilbert belong to the Democratic party, but do not seem to consider this adequate rea- son for exalting Rum above Law. And theirs, wo are confidont, is the view taken of the matter in dis- pute by seven-cighths of our Supreme Court and Appeal Judges, and by a vast majority of the people We shall see how far it is respected by Hackett, Car- dozo, and their beneficiarie We have not venture anticipate the falling off of Gen. Dix from the rauks of sincere and patriotic men; but we are not astounded to hear that he has written a letter in support of the RandalleDoolittle scheme. He gives heart, hand, and sword to the ‘* propositions, reasons and objects " of the call for the Philadelphia Convention. It is unfortunate only | for himself that Gen, Dix adds another distinguished makeweight to the gravitation of conservative politics Southward and downward. ‘The Board of Health fakes its turn with the Excise Board in being victimized by small injunctions. From protecting the unlicensed keepois ve £ to cherisbing and fartifeing tha poworful nuisances of fat-boiling in a crowded city is, in aid, at loast, & step for the bettor, and perbaps a march in judicial taste; but it was easy to see that when judges began to defend rum they would ere long be obliged to pro- teet the chol If rum and bone-boiling are pre cious in our courts, wo suppose that the law is after all the ouly nuisance to be got rid of. Mr. Farnsworth of Illinois has offered a timely resolution that the House be furnished with copies of opinions given by ** Confoderates " at or about the time of Johnston's surrender. Theso opinions relate to the effect of the surrender on the political rights of the South, and, of course, caunot fail to be interesting now. Gen. Gantt of Arkansas approves the constitu- tional amendment, although under its strict applica- tion he himself would be one of the disfranchised; and in this view, as in that of impartial suffrage, Gen. Gautt has been consistently patriotic since when he voluutarily laid down his arms and made submission as ngarly as ho could an act of virtue. The Northern Pacific Railroad bill was yesterday discussed in the Scnate, Mr. Sherman opposing the bill because of its enormous grant of means without adequate security. Mr. Sumzer reported favorably a bill authorizing the metric system and the appoint- ment of a special commissioner to promote a uuiform coinnga. The Honso yesterday passed Mr. Raymond’s resolu- tion providing for the appoiatment of a Commission by the President to report to Congress upon some more cheap and speedy meens of transportation be- tween the West and the Atlantic seaboard. THE PRESIDENT'S VETO. The prompt action of Congress in passing the Freed- men’s Bureau bill over the Presidential veto makes that document a mere expression of Presidential opinion. . The bill is a law of the land, aud beyond any argument of ours. We think Congress acted with wise intrepidity, and we ses no argument of the I'res- ident important enough to have delayed the measure a single day. Mr. Jobnson's message is in better temper than most of his publications. He makes the objection that this bill is unnecesary by reason of the Civil Rights' bill, which, although not pleasant to the President, was even more 5o than the present measure. The dangers of military .aw and military tribunals are dwelt upon with an cxphasis that secis strange when we remember that be writer found warrant enough in military judgmet to summarily hang five men and one woman., The President’s dislike to military tribunals receives a certain amount of our sympathy. We sre anxlons to see our army swords turned iito plow-shares and prunivg-hooks, and our gily-appareled soldiers doing good work in tle open farm lands and forests of the North-West We think the Presi- dent could bave done this by giving the negro his only weapon of self-defense~the ballot. A voting citizen is not often oppressed The talisman of suf- frage has a strange influene over politicians and public men. Impartial Suffraje would have made the negro tho equal of the white, abundantly able to de- fend bimself and fight his vay in the world. The President has refused this. Wi charge him with baving paralyzed the canse of Impatial Suffrage, and made anew contest for its realizaion necessary. He has thrown his Administration aginst it, makingan igno- blo test among his followers,and carrying out if pos- sible, in a more offonsive waj, Mr. Buchanan's policy toward Lecompton. He mde the negro helpless, neither fre nor slave but thy nondescrint frecdman, He placed him in the condition of dependoace that | demanded the protection given by the Freedmen's | Bureau bill. The evil that President Johnson laments is an evil of his own creation. We do not say that the people of the South, as a body, are the opy rs of the black race. We have had too many conspicuous ex- amples of humanity and kindness, on the part of lead- ing Southern men, to permit ourselves to make this | charge. But we have also seen—and the President is a witness—a spirit of caste, of enmity, race warring | upon race, and laborer upon laborer, eading in mur- r and rapine. There are classes in the uth who show toward the megro the euvy that cannot bear to ges its fellows rise, and the chagrin of disappointed masters. Because they cannot own the negro body and soul, they would either slay him, or make his portion miserable upon the earth, If this were otherwise, does the President regard it as good Democracy for one class to live only upon the generosity of another? Is it consistent with Republican institutions for the negro to have no hope of advancement but what rests with the charity of his former masters? How long would it have taken Andrew Johnson—poor laboring man—to have become President if, becauso of his poverty and labor, he had been turned over to the kindness of his rich neighbors? It was because ho received justico that he rose. Give the black man justice and he will advance himself. The crime of the Presidential policy lies in his cowardly surrender to the slave spirit the fruits of our vietory over the slave power. This one step was tho easy, fatal descent. Wo can think of nothing more aptly illustrating the Prosi- dential policy than that of the swine in Holy Seripture, who found themselves possessod with devils. The evil spirit would not depart, and they rushed into tho sea. The President has been heading toward the sea with mad velocity, and this message i3 another sad but unmistakable step. Gov. WARD'S SURP Gov. Seward writes to Senator Doolittle that he is surprised that any one should ask whether he does or does not approve tho call of the Randall bolters’ Con- vention. He has a perfect right to be. No one can reasonably have doubted that one who telegraphed to President Johnson in laudation of his 22d of February speeoh would favor the 14th of August Convention; for these are but two manifestations of ono spirit. It is currently whispered that Gov. Seward wrote the call of the Randall Convention; Why should there be doubt that he favors it? Thereis no room for doubt in the case. But Gov. Seward will gain nothiug by adopting the tactics of the ostrich. There is no question as to the right of the South to be represented in Congress by loyal men. The vital question at issue is quite other than this: Shall the Rebel minority at the South be repre- sented in Congress, to the exclusion and suppression of the loyal majority? Let those whom Gov. Seward most unfairly and unjustly speaks of as the South consent that their loyal fellow-citizens shall hence- forth enjoy equal rights with themaelves, and we will work as heartily for Southern restoration and readmission as he can. But the restoration contemplated and insisted on by the backers of the Philadelphia Convention contemplates the utter suppression of Four Millions of Southern People, not ahundred of whom were ever hostile to the Union, many thousands of whom volunteered to risk their lives in its defense. And this suppression secures the pormanent subjugation also of the White Unionists of the South. The Blacks being voiceless and powerless, tho Rebel secrot organizations which have given nearly all the offices to such ran- corous a5 Mayor Monroe and Sheriff Gen. Hayes of v.Orleans and Capt.

Haviug failed in this, and rebuked by the overwhelming majority against them, our sdyice to them is to | roost lowor. Tecause thoy hastoned to indorss the bloody and proscriptive course of tho Provisioual Goveraor, ho had been appointed over us, aud from whom the people of this State shrauk, as from the touch of some loathsome reptile, we would advise them to roost lower, their hands imbued in fratrieidal blood, holding over By the vei Texns bare derstand.

No day passes over the South wherein the spirit which breathes through the above article does not claim its victims from among the loyal people of the South; and it will never be satisfied till it has ground the whole class to dust under its feet. And against this spirit, backed as it is by the Federal Executive, thero is no offective barrier, and will not be till the loyal men of the South, irrespective of color, shall have been armed with ** the right of self-protection by the ballot.” All this Gov. Seward sees; but he thinks the Free North can be so blinded to it that a Copperhead | triumph here way prepare for a Rebel triumph in Congress, whereby the Southern loyalists of all races | shall be_fast bound under the feet of their implacable | enemies. His *question of the day " nowise con- templates the enfranchisement or protection of the | Blacks; his *“reconciliation between the alienated masses of the American people,” leaves Four Millions of the ““masses " utterly without rights and without Lope.

The cession of Venetia to France is no doubt merely a prelimiuary to its incorporation with the territories of Victor Emanuel; and even if it be true, as it is ru- mored, that the Island of Sardinia is to be given to Napoleon in exchange for it, the King can well afford to make such a bargain, by which he would gain five subjects for every one that he surrenders. At any rate, the Austrians arg driven out of Italv and tha work which has cost 30 many revolutions is doue at last, We know of no parallel to the rapid development of | the new kingdom of Ttaly, except in the growth of | some of our American cities, When the present King came to the throne in 1349, his domini an island in the Mediterranean, and o eral third rate States on the mainland. He rules to-day overthe wholo peninsala, except a small territory to that of the five great powers of Europe. He has gained all this not by conquest, though he has hal to fight for it. But he kas shown the Italian people the examplo of a liberal administration and a prosperous and contanted kingdom, and they have come to him of their own accord as fast as they could shake off their old masters. Victor Emanuel’s work, however, if he aimsat a complete national unity, is not yet finished. lu Italy itself there are more than 700,000 Italians who yield reluctant obedience to the Pope; and in the Austrian dominious 350,000 Tyrolese, and 150,000 of the inhab- itants of the Adriatic coast near Trieste are identical in raco and langnage with the people of the peninsula. The Swiss of the canton of Tessin, aud the population of the French island of Corsica also belong naturally to the now kingdom. To unite all these scattered peoples into one great nation is a task worthy of a lofty ambition, and the man who performs it will loave a mighty name in history. THE EUROPEAN WAR. Widely as the organs of public opinion in America and Europe differed in their views on the war to which the great battle of Sadowa seems to have put an ond' they all look with equal surprise at its brief duration and its sudden end. Ever since the revolutionary yoar of 1343 had pushed the question of Italian and German unity into the foreground of Kuropean politics, a war between Austria and Italy and o civil war in Germany had come to be looked upon as the inevitable transition of those countries from the condition in which they had been piaced by the Treaty of Vienna into a con- dition more in harmony with the popular will. The conflict, it was thought, once started in Italy and Germany, would not fail to involve the neighboring countries, which, either, as Poland and Turkey, had the same question to solve, or like France, were sus- pected of a desire to turn a general European war to their own advantage. The German-Italian war has thus for many years been looked upon as the ** irre- pressible conflict ' of Europe, and the entire press of America and Europe have for years been anxiously waiting for ** the first shot,” and been speculating on its terrific results and far-reaching consequences. After such_anticipations, it is naturally difficult to realize that the great war which was to usher in the new era in the history of Europe should close about a fortnight after its opening. We have not scen a single prominent paper in either hemisphere that was prepared for such an unparalleled success of Prussia,or 50 sudden a collapse of Austria. Italy, we doubt not, would have justified the fondest hopes of its millions of friends, but the war closed before she bad Lad a fair opportunity to mature and oarry out her plans. As regards the Prussian victory, it may ba said to be without parallel in the history of Europe. When Prussia, on the 14th of June, treated the famous reso- lution of the Fraukfort Diet as a dissolution of the Confederation and a declaration of war, she took up the gauntlet against an Empire number- 35,000,000 people and a Confederation containing 15,000,000 more, as all or nearly all of the States, it was thonght, would be compelled by the majority to fight for upholding the authority of the Diet. Against this power she had only a popu- lation of 19,000,000 to fall back upon. Austria, it ¥ to continue the contaet. She has agreed to surrender Vonotia to Louis Napo- leon, in order to obtain his powsrful mediation, The question herealter is only what conditions of pesos the victors will impose. Austria can no longoe ob- tain anything by hersel(; but whatever concession she may get she will owe to the intercession of France. The permanent results of the war will partly de. pend on the diplomatie negotiations which will now ba resumed; but it is already safe to say that the map of Europe will undergo, in consequence of this war, the most important change which has been made in it since 1815, We present to-day a plea for the emigrant—the most powerful of pleas, because it it is the simple record and report of facts which every ono acquainted with the subject can verify in its general aspect, it not in some of ita most painful details. How emi- grants are robbed, starved, seduced, and subjected te nameless insults and injuries is not a mew story. On the contrary, this system of naturalizing the foreigner is so long established that we musk tell the story again and again, till some public sympathy broader and deeper than sny which as yet been extended to the emigrant rightly appreciates the necessity of thoroughly reforming and purifying the whole system of emigration to thesa shores. Castle Garden has only met an emergeuoy; the crowded arrivals at this port, in no year growing less, demand better accommolations than any we have to offer. The laboring emigrants, if we know how to treat them, are more important to this country than gold. Let us be prepared in the future to give them welcoms proportionate ta their value, and worthy of the free country which in- vites them. We have revived the notorious Vills franca case in order to show what class of evils tha new laws covering emigration must remove befors the poor mau's and woman's voyage to New-York o Y The Citizen aunounces another bargain between Tammany Hall and Fernando Wood for the Falkeloc- tions—the latter to get the Ragistor, Surrogats aad three Congressmen in November, for his promiso of supporting the present City Controller for reélection the month following. Wood's Congressmen, says The Citizen, ate to be Brother Benjamin Wood, in place of Morgan Jones; Johun Morrissey, & powerful and striking candidate, in place of Nelsou Taylor; and James Brooks, in place of Wm. E. Dodge. The Sarrogateship Mr. Wood is supposed to want for bis brother-in-law, Mr. Riohardson; but, as Fernando is alleged to hold a large pecuniary interest in the Reg- istership as at present filled, it is belioved he will not seek to disturb Mr. John McCool. Make your gams, gentlemen, while the ball is rolling ! We shall bave a word to say upon all these points at the proper time. pi . S The Citizen—in roply to our objection to Mr. Cor- poration Counsel O'Gorman’s passing a virtual gift by the Common Conneil of valuable City real estato to the Sisters of Mercy, statea that two grants were made at the same timo to Protestant institutions, Then the case is just thrice as bad as we suppesed. We did not objeet particularly to the giving away of City property to Roman Catholics—we object to ita being given away at all. And wo beg The Citizen to point us to the authority of the Common Couucil to ‘What Mr. Raymond Says he Said. The part taken by Mr. Henry J. Raymond in the proceedings of the Congrossional Cauoas 03 Thursday, we pro- duce from the report authestieatad by thaugentioman himeoll in the columns of The Times. Mr. Kelley of Penasylvania having said that The New-York Times, although it had not gons so far in support of the Phila- delphis Couvention as The New. York News and World (whiok was thought, would keep strictly on the defensive in Italy, and hurl the bulk of her army, reénforced by the whole Federal army, upon Prussia, in order to crush her before she could get relicf by the aggres. sive moyamants of Ttaly. 1t snch was the piln OF Ausuis wuw wve wvessws Confederates, there has never been in modern history a more signal failure, A few days after the passago Prussin had control of fully four-fifths of all the States of the Confedoration, and before the Federal army had been fully collected and organized for battle, and even beforo the Diet had formally declared war against her the Confederation was actually dissolved, and Austris, her ouly ~ protector, conquered. Such was the disgraceful termination of a disgraceful existence, and if anything can soothe the violent animosity which the people of the Southern German States feel against the Prussian ascendancy, it must be this most inglorious end of the Old Confederation. The fute of the Confederation was in accordance with the common expectation of the German Liberals. Great as has been the want of harmony of the political partics in Germany, they were united in their opposi- in the history of Germany except to impede its political progres. . But expectations quite different had been enter- tained with regard to Austris. She was believed to have a larger army aud better generals. If defeated in a great battle, she was supposed by her friends to find it easier to recruit her armies than Prussia. When Prussia entered Saxony it was expected that | Benedek was fully prepared for the campaigu and would get the start of the FPrussians in oceupy- ing Dresden. His plans, which were said to | embrace the separation of the two great Prussian armies, the occupation of Silesia and the march upon | Berlin, were more eagerly canvassed than the plans of { Prussia. Nothing can be more mortifying for the friends aud adwirers of Austria than now to compare their speculations on the opening of the campaign, with the subsequent occurrences. Bepedek was not ready to defend Saxony when Prussia was ready to attack her. Ho even was unprepared to dispute the passoge of (he whole of the two great Prussian armies through the mountains which coustitute so formidalle a defense of the When, finally, the advancing hosts of the Prussians had to be encountered, and bloody and desperate battles ensued at Nachod, Skalitz, and Trantenau, with the Army of Silesid under the Crown Prince, and at Munchengriitz, Tur- nau, and Gitschin, with the Army of the Elbe under Prince Frederic Charles, tho issue was an un- interrupted defoat of the Austrians. After some attempts to disguise it, tie official telegrams of Austria at length admitted what could no longer be concealed. Benedek found out that, in his address to his army, he had made a frightful mistake in underrating the effect of the breach-loading rifles of the Prussians, The bayonet was not found, as he bad predicted, an cquivalent, aud too Jate did be dis- cover that he had nothing to parry their wonderful efficiency. X The first great object of the operations of Benedek —to prevent the junction of the two Prussian armies— was found to be a failure. The army of Silesia moying westward from Nachod and Trantenau did effect a junction with the army of the Elbe, after the capture by the latter of the town of Gits¢hin, To arrest and repel them, one other great effort was risked. The Austrian army, which had been con- centrated between the fortresses of Josephstadt and Koniggratz, met the cowbined armies of the enemy on the 3d of July, A momentons battle lasting all day, was fought, chiefly at a little place called Bado- wa, on the road from Koniggratz to Giteahi- T Austriang fought bravely, but the issue broke her power, annihilated her hopes and laid her prostrate at advocated it as a means of destroying the Union party), yet The Times upheld and fayored tho Convention; thoreupon Mr. Raymond replied: A S Sir. Kelley had not the fadow of a right to attributs to The Times any such parr_se or motive as breaking up the Union party. His insiaation to that effsot was utterly untyus, and was tho most unganly way of making an injarioas and nojust liahiéd by ihe Convention, and o " fed ‘ubt; ‘v om ooneurred in_ the views exyressed by those aronad: b He believed that, properly managed. ‘the Convention would strengthen the Union party, instead of destroying it. 80 as hwld reason to think so, he should coutinue to fl'x it Whenever he saw reason to beliave that it was to be used to destroy the Union pdty, meither Zhe Zimes nor its editor would support it. As to the gentleman's assertionthat the President regards everything Congress bas done fa the ab- sence of eleven States as null and void, I beg to ask him how bo reconciles that statement with tho fact that the Presideat has signed gearly every bill Congress has passed ¥ Mr. Anderson, of Missouri, subsaquently conourrsd with other members of the cancus 1u denouncing the President and. the Philadelphia convention, and all who eupportad or farorsd either.

He regarded it as & menace; aud 5o far as it was a monsce, and as such directed against him, he regarded it with no otkier fesling thao one of utter contempt.

When either of thess aatborities saw fit to ex- pel bim or o exclude him from tho party, he would give heed to the exclusion, for he recoguized their autbority. But the sotion of that caucus in regard to his wembarship of the Union y was a matier of entiro indifference to him. When the Philadelphis Coaveation was firet summoned. he believed it would have a good effect in national- izing the Union party, and in placiag its action upos a b t basie.
