The religious ground whioh Mr. Beecber took last evening iu favor of the party most fitted to lead to the ends of justice and peace, will not’add any to his good repute among gospellers who defend slavery, or Democrats who approve the unpunished crime of New- Orloans; but it is a sermon, nevertheless, worth reading. Judge Barbour's decision regarding the Health law, in the Superior Court, on Saturday, may be taken as a logical matter-of-course, but is not the less notice- able. The Judge decides that the Board is a kind of court in itself, and that its judgment as to what is a nuisance and injury to the public health must be considered final, or only to be reviewoed by certiorari, like all decisions of inieriot court For the first time, we publish this morning & letter from Now -Zealand, received by way of Panama, be- tween which place and the port of Wellington there is now a regular mouthly communicalion by steam. The new Pacific line of steamers is an important en- terprise, and as trade hetween this country and Aus- tralasia increasos, its advautages to Americans will become more and more sensibly appreciated. . Advices from the seat of war in Paraguay report severe fighting before the Paraguayan fortross of Cu- rupaity on the Ist of September and the following days. The Allies' forces, after a dosperate battle, took somo of the Paraguayan intrenchments, but the Paraguayans withdrew in good ovder, and Gen. Flores of Uruguay, who knows the Paraguayans and their country better than any of the gencral officers in tho Alliad armw, is not sangnine as to the progress of the Allies. The amount of ready nataralization which & Demo- cratic judge can consummate ia a given time is mus- ceptible of accurate calculation. Thus, Judge Ca:- dogo, author of the ready-mado decision in favor of unlicensed rum-selling, can naturalize 13 men in five minutes, according to actual computation. Germauns are & trific more troublesome to naturalize in this brisk, business-like way; bat on dumb subjects we have no doubt that other judges could equal Cardozo. It is easy as baptizing with the bottle, or making a decision to suit the trade in naturalizations, Montgomery Blair declinos nomination in the VIIth Dintr{ct of Maryland, for a reason almost 0o gbvious to state—he could not be clected. If every one of his chosen constituents could be pardoned five times over and endowed with a post-office, some doubt would remain whether they would not rather vots for a Rebel of the Harris specics. Mr. Blair paid the high- est prige for his nomination, aud is welcome to the pride of baving done av immense feat of retrograde for no roward at all. But if Blair caunot be elected his withdrawal proves his detrrmination no Unionist shall, He has, therefore, made entire snrrender of his good-will to the Harris candidate, Mr. Frederick Stone. The benevolent millionaire, Mr, Peabody, adds to his princely gifts to the world’s poor and to science the sum of $150,000 to Yale College, after having en- dowed Harvard with equal generosity. Mr. Pea. body’s benefactions have been too frequent and wide- spread to make count of their full extent; but no man living has given with a wealth more nobly eamned, and with an intelligence avd humanity so impartial. Tho bounties of Peabody in London and of Stewart in New-York, answered as the latter has been by new proffers of charitable wealth, show that we are fortu- nately living when it scems to be more than ever the luxury of rich men to do good works. That luxury 4 | should be faghionable. The Maryland Police Commissioncrs have refused to answer the sununons of Gov. Swaon, for the rea- son that he may contemplate their arrest in order to put his creatures in their places. But they Lave del- egated their connsel to answer auy charges that he may bring, and to represent their willingness to ap- pear beforg a proper tribunal. Meanwhile, theg re- main in their loyal defgnses at Baltimore, y.mfi. if noed be, by the Mayor and the Union citizens. Gov. Swann's interview with the President is reported as unsatisfactory to the purpose of defeating the Regis- try, and we therefore bope that all danger of the repe- tition of the bloody blunder of Nev-Orleans is at an end. It may be & sign of import in city politics that a Democratic Association in the First Ward has repu- diated Tammany and adopted Gov. Fenton and the gentleman named for Congress by the Republicans of the IVth district as its candidates, At all events, the organized mischicf of Tammany has been many times more popular than it is now; for The Herald, which ought to know something of our political devil- fish, thinks that *‘the success of Hoffmgn is the only thing that could temporarily impart galvanic motion resembling life to the corpse of Tammany. Every citizen, therefore, who desires to sce Tammany finelly disposed of, the Corporation Ring broken up, corrupt officials removed, snd honest and economical govern- ment restored, should settle the matter in November,” The agitation for Parliamentary Reform—in other words, for impartial suffrage—is rapidly spreading in England, and assuming an aspect caleulated to awaken serious alarm among the Tory monopoliste of political power. Their representatives in the Press are already feeling the pressure of public opinion, and adopting & more moderate tone than has bitherto marked their discussion of the sulject. They are learning to speak respectfully of the working-classes, and actually to admit that the masses have some political rights to be respocted. This is a point gained; but evidently the battle has but just begun. It is cheoring to note the spirit in which the fight js waged by the Reformors. Bright and his coadjutors s=tho leaders of the movemont—gro evidently in carnest, and 80 aro the people. The Lecds demon- stration, of which we publish-a brief account this morning, was an imposing. demonatration. Wo give an extract from Dright's speech on the occasion, which shows that tho English Reformers feel that they aco fighting in the same cause with the party in this country who are demanding equal rj for all, —— Tho fall official vots of every co unty of Peonsyl vania exoopt Pike, has beon reccived, and according to it, the majority of Gov. Goeary will be 17,700, This, it will ba seen, slightly diffors from the count of the Democratio politicians in New-York and Philadelphia, who for soveral days after tho election persisted in estimating the Republican majority at 5,000. The table of estimated majorities published in Trg TRB- uNk on the morning aiter the election, fixed the ma- jority of Geary at 17,000, thus approaching, it must be admitted, vory near the truth. In Obio, the Democratic newspapers aro atill talking of majoritios. Tho Sonth American Ropublics seem to be waking up. Spain's wanton attacks upon their independence bas roused them to a display of energy which tho world hardly gave them crodit for possessing. It is also drawing them moro closely togethor. The com- mon danger with which thoy aro threatencd makea them feol that they have a common canse, and that to be prosperous and powerful they must codperate to promote those objeots in which they have a comuion intereat. Ropublicanism is eminently fraternal, and wo rejoice te find the spirit of brotherhood alive and operative among the South Pacific States. The nows from that quarter we publish this morning, though brief, is chooring, The Exocutive Councif of the colored men of Now- Jorsey havebegun throo suils, two in the Supreme Court of that State and one in the Cirouit Conrt of the United Statos, to test whother a black man has a right to the franchise, and contend that any Stato dis- franchising its citizens on account of color **is.in that respect anti-republican and in violation of the Con- stitution of tho United Btates, which guarantees a republican form of government to every State.” The ocolored men havo thus taken the wisest and bravest means to ereot thoir cause firmly in the public mind and conscience; and we believe the moveme: eral among the most influential colorcd me country to bring the su of their denied the test of a legal as well as moral agitation TROUBLE IN MARYLAND. “The danger of a clash of arms in Mary is, wo trust, mach exaggerated. At all events, we cutreat our friends in Baltimore to keep rigidly within the letter of the law. The law will vindicate itself in due season; and a trivmph by frand or violenoe will prove no triumph at all. Meantime, lob us under- stand clearly the matter in issue. The Sunday Mercury impudently says: * The Amorisan people have bean called upon to witness, of o perversion and abuse of this fnstitution upon ole political fabrio rests. The Adm of was notorious for opea_and persistent a on the ballot-box. The alightest disaent from his mout illegal acts weas tregson, and all guilty of it wers driven from the poils at the point of the bayonet. * On this grovnd, the majrity of the Moryland. which State never sceaded n . weere digfranchiand for the trenson of que of the illegal outrapes of the Lineoln Adwinistratios Do just os fair and of usurpers to 1t would i for Prowisdeat Jolinson, 3 be hiad & Con ok him up, to disfranchise the entire Le publican party as traitors for onpasing bis administration.” —Itis necessacy that such villainous calumnies on the doad and the living—and the whole Copperhead press now reeks with them—should be specifically, conclu- sively met. Their authors are deliberate, willfulliars. They know that ** questioning some of the illegal out- rages of the Lincoln administration” is not, aud never was, aground of disfranchisoment; but complicity with armed treason is. Here is the section of the present Cdnstitution of Maryland which trying to subvert: prurpose of adbering to said St who has given suy aid, com thoso engaged in arimed Lostil manner adhered to the e contribating to the cucmies of sending within the lines af s letters or information, or who tion with the coemicg of (i any person to enter the s Ppeinon so to ente wdh the United States or in any of the Unitd States. either by 0 United States, or unlaw fully s money or goods, or wwally held communica atitled to vote ot auy election or to hold any office of honer, profit, or trost under the laws of this State, unless alnee sueh unlawful wets he shall have volugtarily two-thind I rqus erson offering to vote the follow r aflirw that 1 om o ¢ b phy o and that I wi reservation or Aud any perse et 1 0 This article was adopted in Convention by a vote of 53 to 27; and the Constitation itself adopted by 53 to 2. And 35 members of the Convention—all the pro- Slavery men elected to it—united in a protest against the Constitution, alleging its overthrow of Slavery and disfranchisement of Rebels and Rebel-sympathizers a3 theix chief objections to it. They carried their resists ance to the polls, and were there beaten—tbe election being held through two days (Oct. 12th, 13th, 1=64:) the vote standing: For the new Constitution, 30,174; Against it, 20,799: Majority for it, 335, They now appealed to the Governor not to pro- claim the Constitution adopted, becango the mejority by which it was ratified was made up of Unica sol- diers voting in the field; but Gov. Bradford overruled this cavil. They then made a case,and took the question up to the Court of Appeals, aud were there beaten—Justice Bowie prononncing the opinion of the Court adverse to their demand. The new Cousti- tution thercupon Becatio the established orgavic law of the State. All that the loyul men of Maryland ask or need is that the Constitution be now respected and obeyed. The Copperheads, ou the other hand, are determined to evade or defy it, and thus carry the State by Rebel and Rebel-sympathizing votes, * Peaceably if wo can; forcibly if we must,” is their motto. A Copper- head dispatch of Saturday night says: “‘The real fight i for the control of the coming clections, which can be reackied thiough the Police Commissioncrs, who appoint the Judges of election. The rioting Iugbear rafsed by thie extreme Radicals for political cf but have now gone 80 far that it fs very doubtiul whetlier those who Lave raised the gevil can lay him again, Everything depends upon the Goverdor's action on Monday. The Mayor and city authorities are hand-in-hand with the *hoys in blue;' but the Southern element immensely outnumbers them." —** The Bouthern element” has not been 0 ram- pant in Baltimore since Ben. Butler first wrested her from the contro! of the Rebels, after their massacre of the Massachusetts men in April, 1861, Treachery in high places bhas given it a sudden’elation; but it has much yet to do and dare before it has Maryland once more in its cluteh Let the loyal wait and watch. When It was proposed in Congrees in the Winter of 1846 to purchase flour and corn to send to the starving poor of Ircland, Mr. Andrew Johnson objected, as ha now objects to aid the loyal men of the South—on Constitutional grounds. Mayor Hoffman, when ap- pealad to take part with the Irish in opposing the frand of British noutgality, vopliog by tolling Lis quostiongr to ““be, gono!™ ' Naither of thesb facts will bo de- nied, and it -is dmportant to observe that ucither of the gentlemen mentioned ate Radicals. If records aro o, any aceount whatever, and if the Irish vote is necessary to aid Mr, Hoffman to Mr. Jobnson's advantage, Irishmen have good cause for disenchant- ment beforo the day of olection. We are not mendi- cant toward any man’s vote; bat we are not certain that Hoffman, Tammany sad the Ring are sorupu- lous on that poin POLICY-MUTTERINGS, We print the nows (rom Washington with sowe de- greo of reluctance. Itis of so important a nature that we should like to have official assuranco of its truth, Failing in that, as official assurances only come from Washington in a whimsical and selfish way, we take it from those wo are acoustomed to trust and give it for what it is worth. The whole scheme of attempting to bully England into payment of a debt, tho validity of which she does not admit, is false and insincere. The President has no more idea of going to war with England than ho bas of making war upon New-Zealand. Ho has no idea of enforcing his demand=, But he knows that, in the absence of any positive statesmansbip, it is perfeotly safe to bully Eogland, Tuisthe cheapest and most popular act that any Prosident can try, is always in order, and generally serves its turn, The misfortune is that it is not very respectable. When an Administration has nothing left bus menace, it becomos disreputablo and weak. ‘The story about tho Fronch claims is of the same natare. Mr. Seward, Mr. Johnson, and Gen. Grant, talking over Mexican affairs, aro of no more conse- quence than any other throe gentlomen conversing on that subject. They have no power to pay the French claima, nor to accept any territory from Mexico. That is the duty of Congress. At the same tiwo, the Prosident may mako it a **policy,” and entrap the unwary and heodless. Wo certainly do not want any Moxican land. Wo have enough to sell, without adding to our possessions. Nor do we caro about paying French claims which we cannot verify, and the justice of which the Juarez Government has always disputed. We have enough debt of our own, enough of afalse, irritating, inflated currency to manage, without borrowing money to bribe Frauce. This now policy—if policy it really is—is a2 bad as anything that Mr. Johnson has dono. He might bave asserted the honor of America toward England during the Fenian troubles. e had an opportunity to com- mend to England the chalice she so persistently preased vipon ua Curing the war, Ie might at least have shown soma rospect for the rights of his American fellow-citizens, if not for the feelings of a large body of them. This would have been the true way to bave asserted the Alabama claims. Insteal, however, he sent his chief officors to the border, burried off troops, arrested American citizens, seized the tele- graph wires, and riflad private express cars, to please England. President Johnsou showed the real bent of his mind then, and his tricks now are too transparent and false, and necessitous, too much inspired by politica! design, to W@ accepted in good faith. Tho Administration must do better in the *“ poliey " busi- ness, Those springesnay catoh woodcocks, but will not carry New-Yock. THE CANADIAN PRESS AND THE TIMES ON THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. ‘The Canadians are evidently puzzied at the course recently adopted by The London Times toward the United Btates, especially with reference to the claims of Americans upou the British Goverument in con- nection with the depredatiops of the pirate ship Ala- bama. They scem not to know what to make of the change which has come over the leading organ of English opiuion in its sentiments on American affairs; and rome of their journals go so far as to charge the groat Jupiter of the European press with “truckling™ to the United States. The conductors of these news- papers, in the pitiful enmity they still mavifest toward oor Government and people, appear to be indignant at the idea that they should be so0 incoutinently deserted by their powerful friend,” and hitherto fast and valued ally. Aund we are bound to admit that at the first blush their case does seem & bard one, provocative of com- wiseration. By the defoction of The Times they bave lost more than half their stock in trade. While The Times continned defiant in a grand way, they could be safely boastful in & small one. While The Times argued loftily agaiust the ¢! in question, they could afford to ridicule the idea of Americans presum- | ing to seck compensation for their heavy losses. But | now that the utterances of the oracle have chaoged to tones of apparent amity, they must perforce give up their little show of antagonism. They will have no | friend now of any respectability to keep them in conutenance. We bave it in our power, however, to give these disconsolate and deeply injured journalists a litthe con- solation in their trouble; at least, we inclive to the opinion that what we are about to state will have a decidedly soothing effect npon their ieritated feelings. And it is just this: there is no sincerity in The Times with regard to the Alabama budiness; by trhich we , although yielding to the force of m- as changed its tactics, its real sentiments ct remain to-day what they were from The Times understands thoroughly It knows when to mean, th it stance: | on the | the beginning. the doctrine of expediency. disparage and affect to despise, and when to flatter ond profess to homor. It knows where | resistance ought to end and concesslon to With regard to the arficle on tho Als bama claime, of which so much has Deeh nxmfi-. the motives which dictated it a et and palpable, | 1t Les been penned avowedly with reference to the contingency of Great Britain’ becoming involved in war, aud to the reprisals which wonld in that case bo made upon Biitish comwerce. The Times thinks it sees danger ahead from the present state of parties in this country, “The exigencies of party warfare,” it , “‘have always influenced the foreign policy ofthe Upited States. They are just now peculiarly urgent; the Irish vote will probably tum the Autumn elec- tions, and the sdne motives which have apparently led Mr. Seward to wink at the transport of warlike stores to Mexico may possibly tempt, and almost force him on some futare occasion to revive the dor- mant Alabama claims.” Ob! that “Irish vote!” This is where the #hoe pinches, It is casier to pay the Ala- bawa claims than to do jnstice to Ireland. It is not then any consideration arising oat of the fairness of clsims that has moved The Times in this the matter; it is apprehension, rather, of the possible consequences to England of a political exigency in America, rendering it necessary for the Government to conciliate the Irish clement. We do not quarrel with The Times for using that discretion which, by popular verdict, is pronounced ‘‘ the better part of valor,” and we shall rejoice to see the Alabama busi- ness amicably settled, as wo hope it will be; but at the same time, for the special consolation of the anti- nerican portion of the Canadian press, wo feel bound to declare our honest sentiments on this sub- jeet. Let our brethren of Canada be comforted: at Leart, the old god of their idolatry is still with them in their jealousy of the United States, and their dis- like of our institutiol begin, The card of explanation from the Commissioners of the Croton Aqueduct Department, whioh will be found clsewhere, takes up, seriatim, the objoctions upon which Controller Brennan has seen fit to suspend nearly all the necessary labors of this Board, by refus- ing to be present at the opening of bids for contract- work, a8 requiced by law, The Board show olearly in their card, that (the Coutroller's allogod reasous tor bis gogloet of duty, or rather refysal to gorform it, aro wholly, groundless and untenable; but they” sbould bave gone a step further, if desirous of making the Pub- lic understand what azo the real reasons for Mr M- T. Brennan's conduct, by which scorca and hundreds of worthy mechanics and laborers aro kept ont of em- ployment, or vainly waiting for money which they lbave fairly earned. The true cause briefly is, that the Croton Board will not allow Controller Bren- nan and his confederates of the Tammany *‘ Ring" to dispense the patronage of thils Department—will not allow him to create and fill sinecure Inspectorships with ward bullies and grog-shop politicians, dovoted to the redlectiom, at all hasards, next Decomber, of M. T. Brennan, end to his eleotion of the Albany State ticket in November, provided that doing 50 may be mado conducive to the main end of rotaining Mr. Brennan as Controller. Who ever heard the Controller protest against tho frandulent contracts of the Street or City In- spector's Departmont for work *nover done, and never intended to be done? Who over heard any objection on his part to paying the salaries of sine- ours or othor office-holders who had been ap- pointod or wore working in tho interest ot the Tammany *Ring?” The Croton Department and the Central Park are the most oreditable of [ tration, that we should pay tho French elaime territory in our public works; and the mers fact that Alfred W. Craven is Engineer in charge of tbe former should be more than a sufficient reply to the malig- | nant insinuations of onr suddenly economical Con- troller. The true crime, and the only crime, of tho the Croton Board is, that it will not let its patronage be used toward strengthening the Tammany candi- date for Controller in the next Charter eloction—an issue 80 much more importaut to the *“Ring” than the State contest, that the State Ticket only seems to be of any consequouce As a means for promising to secure Matthow T.

It has raised its rates of transportation on the farm- ers along the line from 50 to B8 per cent., on the score of earning a fair retwrn on its capital, But Mr. Parton undertakes to prove that Tilden's ** Ring” has added twenty millions of certificate capital which has no pasis in fact, and that to tax the farmers to pay dividends on that is simply absurd. Mr. Parton intimates that there are several millions of * margius” appropriated by the * Ring," and that some of the money goes to pay McClellan's expenses sround Enrope; and also, that money in large gums can be raised by the * Ring” to carry elections.
