OBITUARY. —p—— MARY TAYLOR EWEN. Mrs. Mary Taylor Ewen died in this city on Saturdey. Miss Taylor was born in this city about the year 1827, ‘When about 16 years of age she made her first public ap- pearaace on the boards of the old Chatbam Thee- ter, and soom rose to be & decided favor ite Wwith the public. After s short and vory auccessful engagement at the Chatham Tbeater, she fallfilled an engagement at the old Olympic Theater, on DBroadway, between Howerd and Grand-ste, then under management of Mr, Wm. Mitehell, which serrod to fully establish ber in the too ofen fickle favor of ibe publie. After this she layed many engagements ot this theater. Her specisl forte was- ‘comedy, and she seldbm essayed other taan this. Many of our readers will remeiuber bher :punu in_the | written ex) ly for ber b) Charles 'M!‘"A‘mon‘ the fF;:;{n which .n!

She few yoplh“.ll equals n light . Bhe had decided talent and s fine aldm gmn once established, she industri- ously strove to meiutain it,and,more than this,maintained an unblemished cbaracter. A marked favorite with ‘he public, ber farewell 1o the stage was received with deep vegrot, and sunouncement of her death will cause sorrow to many friends, 4 Funeral services will be held at St. Mark’s Church, corner of Becond-ave. and Teath-st., to-morrow afternoon, 8t 3 o'clock. Many meinbers of the theatrical profess on will artam in such haste had not his course i the late eleotions secured his party a majority. The election of a United States Senator may be in order. —e—— The Atlantic Cable brings us news of avother revo- lutionary outbreak in Spain, which country seems to be at present in quite & volcanic state. Evidently things cannot remain as they are under Queen Isabella’s rule. The spirit of liberty bas penetrated into Spain, and, unless liberal reforms are conceded by the Govern- ment, revolution will follow revolution until the cause of popular freedom achieves a grand and final viotory. An American colony in the Holy Land! Our eable dispatches announce the arrival at Jaffa of a vessel from Jonesport, Me., with 150 Americans to colonize n Palestine. A most noticeable movement, even in this preéminently colonizing age. The idea is a happy one of planting an orgauized Cbristian community in the birthplace of Christianity, now cursed with Turk- ish domifiation. Tbatthe colonists will have no or- dinary difficulties to encounter, arising from the jealonsy their presence will inspire and the bigotry it will stimulate, we can easily believe; but for several weighty reasons it is to be boped they will succeed in establishing themselves in their new home. ———— To-morrow, at 12 o'clock, at the Governor's Room in the City Hall, the Sonate Committee appointed last April to examine the condition of the piers and wharves of this City and Brooklyn will hold its first meeting and take testimony. The Citizens' Associa- tion, in Angust, sddressed a circular to a large num- ber of merchants and others, and will present im- portant evidence to the Committee. The public is deeply interested in the improvement of the river front, and the Legislature will ne doubt be provided with all the facts and suggestions necessary to estab- lish & system of wharves and piers worthy of the com- mercial greatness of New-York. ——— Gov. Brownlow's message to the Teunessee Legis- lature, of which we give the main portions, deals liberally with the question of negro suffrage, and recommends extension of the Franchise law. He re- peats bis opinion that the opposition to negroes voting comes from lingering disloyalty in the South, and adds the argument that the evils of the restoration of the elective franchise to Rebels should be neutralized by giving it to the Freedmen. Tennessee, which bas now six representatives in Congress, with impartial suffrage would bave nine. Some of the ablest mem- bers of the Legislature go further than the Governor, and intend to propose Impartial Suffrage and Univer- sal Amnesty as a substitute for bis plan, Hon. Lewis D, Campbell, our recently appointed Minister to Mexico, sailed hence on Saturday, osten- sibly for Vera Cruz, in the naval steamship Busque- hanna, accompanied by Lieut.-Gen, Sherman and otherss The Times says: d * Gen, Sherman and Minister C 1o Mexico with z"ntnmu the Gmfim -'aoum-mfny from take with regard to the change MHH bw‘a ‘t:nun‘u-y -h= :t:.m.l. tions bas not yet 1‘-‘(4. it the fact that Gos. rman he city and patriotism, but not of eminent discretion. Minister Compbell bas Gen. Sherman's undetirable qualities without his good ones. We only express what every well-informed person must feel, that the conjunction is ill-starred and ominous of grave trouble, Aud The Times's oracular talk of *‘ future complications” that m ‘nocessitate military ac- tion" is not caloulated to quiet the apprelensions | naturally excited by su xpedition Wo bog leave to remar! should our country e involved in Mexican aflairs as France as been, it will be the fault of rulers and speculators, not of the patient people, who must sweat out the millions of taxes thereby imposed on an already heavily bur- dened country. What right have we to impose the rule of Juaree, or of any one else, on the people of Mexico 1 It is rather remarkable that while the Tory and pseudo-Liboral English journals are abusing John Bright as a traitor to his country, because he avows his admiration for the Government of the United States, the members of the prosent Derby Ministry are vieing with each other in their expressions of re- gard for the Republic, and of warm desire that feelings of cordial amity might provail between Great Britain and this country. A short time ago we had Lord Stanley, the Foreign Minister, touching in a speech on the relations existing between the two countries, and giving utterance to the hope that peace and con- cord might be the order of the day. And row we have the Premier himself, the Earl of Derby, express- ing similar sontiments. What docs all this n? If we aro to believe the anti-Bright men, Eogland is in immingnt dauger of becoming ‘* Americanized,” through the efforts of those wicked agitators of the Reform League. And yet here is one member after another of the Tory Government doing his best to olevate the American nation in the eyes of the British people. What, we repeat, doos nll this mean? Burely, + there is something in it,” which time will develop. WENDELL PHILLIPS. The Boston Journal reports Mr. Phillips, in his latest tirade, a8 saying: Tk TRIBUNE of to-day says: * Wo don't know whether the negro is entitlod to a vote, whether he has intelligence enough to vote, but, until we go into an_idiot asylum, we will maintain that 'while he does n't vote ho sball not ‘be_counted to increase votes against us; and on that position we fight this battle,” —The readers of these columns know how thoroughly mistaken this is. So long ago as 1346, we did all we could, whetber in these columns or elsewhere, to carry Impartial Suffrage, whon it was voted down by 224,336 Nays to 85,406 Yeas. In 18589, the question was revived, and an amendment seouring Equal Suf- frage carried through two successive legislatures; but, whon submitted to the people for ratification, it was voted down by 337,934 Nays to 197,503 Yeas. Since then, we have been doing our utmost for a Constitu. tional Convention, which we trust is now carried. And we shall do our best to elect & Convention which shall establish—not Negro Suffrage, nor White Suffrago particularly, but Manhood Suffrage, exclud- ing all allusion to color as & basis of, or barrier to, political power. How eéarnestly we labored to induce Connocticut to accopt Impartial Suffrage last year, some of our read- ers may remember. If Mr. Phillips had seasonably given a month to canvassing that State, we might possibly have had better success. But he made no sigo. Last Summer, when the Southern Loyalists met in Philadelphia, we did our best to persuade them to adopt Impartial Suffrage. Perhaps Mr. Phillips did more: if 80, we havo forgotten it. We aro doing all we know in favor of Impartial Suffrage, profoundly convinced that it is a measure of peace aud beneficence. We believe it will benefit North aud South alike=that, combined with Univer- sal Amnesty, it will form the basis of & hearty recon- ciliation aud a genuine concord between the recently warring sections of our country. Mr. Phillips pro- fesses also to desire Impartial Suffrage; but hear him: “‘The White race is not converted. You cannot govern the South against its educated classes with their social prestige. If they cannot be hung por_exiled. they must be fanked. T that element £ the South; how can it be balanced ¥ Not by the negroes. Four millions of pnoducated negroes. with none oF it character which resaits from position. with none of that weight that cowes from one or two generations of recognized manhood. cannot eutweigh that element at the South. 1f the White men at the Sonth huve their lives sparcd, then the Government st hold that territory by the sron arm. of wilitary despotism for vome years to come.” —This programme of boundless subjugation, im- placable hostility and iron-armed despotism, 1s to us most revolting. It imperils all that has been gained by our great struggle, and opens & boundloss vista of snarchy, poverty, aud bankruptey. Should it be in. sisted on, the wise and moderate of all parties must and will unite to defeat it. The faot that the Four Millions of Blacks at the South cannot **outweigh Six or Seven Millions of Whites, proves no necessity for such a policy. The Blacks, if enfranchised, ean at Jeast protect themselyes by their votes; they can and will, by acting with the better portion of the Whites, preserve the integrity of the Union, aud command general respect and deference. Iu other words, they will exert 50 much power as their numbers and abili- ties entitle them to; and that is all they can ask. ‘There are restless spirits in all parties and sections who mean to keep the country distracted and agitated indefinitely; but they are a very small minority of the whole people. Faction and folly may give them s temporary ascendancy; but the great majority who anxiously desire peace and general contentment must be badly misled if they do not soon achieve the fru- ition of their hopes and efforts. THE CONTROLLERSHIP. The first fruits of the defeat of Hoffman and the election of Gen. Halpine are already realized. Mat- thew T. Brennan declines to be again a candidate for Controller of our City Finances. *The king is dead: live the king!" The man is changed the system remains, The Tammany and Mo- art machines will combine to nominate 8 successor pledged to continue and to cloak the monstrous malversatiens and pecalations whereby the cost of our city and county government is swelled by stolen millions—enough being paid for the annual repair and maintenance of a mile of ordinary bighway to build and equip & mile of first-class railroad. *The Ring" will have its candidate for the Controllership, and will give him the nearly solid vots of the Five Points, Macker- elville, and Colaer's Hook, no matter what may be his name or Lis antecedents. But there are enough independent, intelligent, tax-paying voters to beat him, provided they can be united in the support of 8 proper candidate. And they must be. The anti-Ring nominee must bea Democrat; if not, the party goug will be sounded with effect, and he must inevitably be beaten. And, as the office bas no Jegitimate political character or influence, wo trust no Republican will object. All we ask is, that the nomi- nge should use whatever power and patronage the office may give him, not to build up and strengthen any party, but to save the public money and enforce accountability and integrity in every branch of the pablic service, ‘We expect to support such candidate as the Citizens Association shall present; and we entreat the mem- bers of that Association to commence now an earnest inguiry a4 to the fitness and strength of those persons respectively who are or may be proposed for this nom- ination. Do not leave this great responsibility to s clique, & bandfull, but let each member of that intelli- gent and powerful body consider himself bound to make due inquiry and be prepared to exert his proper influence in deciding the choico, Simply as our con- tribation toward the common stock of knowledge on thig subject, and without intending to indicate any preference, weo append & faw notes. George G. Bamard, one of the Justices of our ‘Supreme Court, is prominently com- mended for this post. Mr. Bamard s & native, we think, of Dutchess County. He mwigrated, soon after he was called to the bar, to California, and was successful there, Ho returned after a faw years' practice, sottled in this city, and was very soon chosen Recorder, and thence trsns- ferred to the bench of the Buprema Court. His abil ities aro of a high order, and he has found occasion to ovince remarkable energy and decision. He knows the ivs and outs of our City Government very thor- oughly, and could tell, within threo or four, just l how many of our high functionaries ought this mo- ment to be catting stone at Sing-Sing. If he should be placed in_the Controller’s office, he could at once reduce the cost of our City administration by at lcast One Million Dollars per annuu. But would he? We believe he would, especially if he should be nom- inated and elected distinetly as a Reform candidate. And we doubt that there are three men in the city who know how to do as much good in the Controllor's office as e does. - - Smith Ely, jr., was clected Supervisor by the Democrats in 1862, By what accident or hitch in the machinery he was nominated, we cannot say; but that he has been for four years & Supervisor and is not yot a thief is, howeveramazing, & notorious, incontesti- ble fact. Mr. Ely has had & most vexations, thankless, fruitless task, to sit in that Board and protest against robbories and expose swindles which were certaiu to bo put through the moment he¢ eat down; but he has done his work bravely, unfalteringly, unweariedly, and has thus contributed very signally to the abundant knowledge and wholesome public sentiment regard- ing municipal affairs now pervading this community. Should he be made Controller, no dollar would leave the treasury uncarned while he had power to pre- yent it. Michael [not “‘Slippery Dick"] Connolly, now and for many years a Police Justice, is akeo suggested. He is & man of decided shrewdness and energy, widely popular, and a determined foe to the corruptionists now raling in Tammany Hall. = He ran independently for Sheriff at our last election, and polled a larger vote than any other man could bave done on his personal strength. And there is probably no other man whose eloction, if he were the Reform nominee, and heartily supported by the tax-payers, would be so absolutely certain as that of Michael Connolly. We have heard one or two others suggested, but do not know that they will be seriously presented. 1f thoy are, wo shall speak of them hereafter. —e THE FAMINE IN INDIA. An appalling calamity has lately befallen s portion of British India. Famine has been making fearful ravages in the Bengal Presidency, and in the Madras Presidency tho distress from the same cause is described as only less terrible than that in Bengal. Residents on the spot—trustworthy witnesses—in endeavoring to give some idea of the extent of the calamity, depict scenes of the most harrowing char- acter. - When the famine was at its hight, the starv- ing poor, we are told, crowded into the stroots of Caleutta, and it was estimated that no fewer than 20,000 to 25,000 starving people were wandering about the capital. At Mullick's Ghat, where the Bombay merchants raised a fund and distributed food, there was at ene time 7,000 famishing applicants crowded up. They were described as placed in order upon an open space waiting for the distribution. “On one side nearly 4,000 Hindoos, each with a leaf platter Dbefore him, were scattered on the wet ground, hastily partaking of the scanty dole they received. On the other side were thousands of famishing Musselmans ranged in like manner, and watching with silent and greedy eagerness the meal of their Hindoo brethren, and counting with bitter lopgings the minutes till their turn should come, Under the shelter of the Ghat crowded the women, girls and childres.. Opt- side the gates were hundreds and hundreds who bad {ost their chance till the next distribution. But over all a horrible dead silence. No chattering or con- verse, hardly a sound, excepting when at inter- vals some wrotch threw up his arms with an ¢jaculation to Heaven, wrung from him by the unappeasable pangs of hunger.” More than this, officials wrote home descriptions of meeting dead g L e Iy o K | two years longer. Mr. Pullman has done our prop- erty-owners and the whole people of our City great good by his earnest cousse s a member of the Board of Councilmen. He has always been at his post com- bating, by his voice and vote, the many iniquitous schemes of the * Ring"—and when these have proved neffectual in preventing the attempt of the corrup- tionists to heap new burdens upon the people of our City, he has had the courage to resort to the Courts, and, as in the celebrated Gas Injunction suit, has brought the whole * Ring” in subjection to his foet. We caution citizens of that Ward ageinst signing recommendations for any one else, no matter how plausible or specious the reasons assigned. There should be no hesitation, no doubt whatever, in the premises—for Christopher Pullman has proved bimself the very man to be Alderman of the Twenty-first Ward, | e THE MAJORITY FOR GOVERNOR. The returns reported from all the counties make Gov. Fenton's majority 15,462; the official canvass will bat slightly change these figures; they are not, therefore, likely to be reduced below 15,000 Majorities for Governor, partly estimated.

Am eminent advocate of the Boston bar once ob- served, after the loss of an importaut verdict, that *‘he had nothing to do but to go into the country and ex- perience religion,” In view of the recent elections, the President hus certainly need of all the philosophical consolations which he can muster, and we are, we con- bodies in every morning's ride—bodies lying in the road, with the village dogs eating them at leisure. A Calontta journal statod that in Balasore, having a population of 12,000, the deaths amounted to 300 & dayy eud on the Government demanding of its officials o report agaiust the libel, the Collector of the District repliod that on the 8th August he had 245 deaths in the city, on the 9th, 151, and for the weck ending the Oth 126 a day, the bodies sometimes remaining unburied for three days. The province of Orissa suffered the most severely, one paper declaring that 400,000 souls have perished in maritime Orisss alove. Indeed, o telegram from India announces that balf the popula- tion of Orissa have perished in the famine—that is, fully two millions and a half of people! An English jour- nal remarks: ** It is impossible, inconceivable, incred- ible that so transcendental a horror, one 5o utterly be- fess, agreeably surprised to find one of his ergans in this City playing ounly the most resigned and pastoral tunes. The advice which The World gives to Mr. Jobn- son is really so good that we fear for it the usual fate of sensible admonitione. Instructed by disastrous ex- perience, and warned by majorities nncommouly ad- verse, the President is admonished to mind his own Dbusiness hercatter, and to let Con- gress severely alone. No course, we are sure, could be more prudent: for if, a8 The World admits, **it wonld be futile for him longer to contend with the Radicals,” the enly thing for him to do (88 he may learn by consulting Mr. John Morrissey) is to ery **enough,” and betake himself to the private embrocation of his bruises. His pet journal is right when it says that in this way Le *“will best consult the dignity of his office.” - It is rather late in the day yond all precedent, so utterly beyond imagination, shoold actnally bave oceurred;" yet the same journal expresses serious misgivings, that when the truth shall | have been fully ascertained it will be found that the | estimate here given of the desolation wrought by the famine was not, after all, greatly exaggerated. It is thus it puts tbe matter: **Two millions and a half of people! twice the population of Denmark or of Greece, eight Suffolks, six Hampshires, five- | sisths of Scotland, dead of hunger. * * * Two | millions and & balf of men, and women and babies, our subjeots, dead of hunger! Why, we are Chris. tians, and If but one womau so dies, move the whole | force of the State to secure inquiry and relief from a borror which chills the warm comfort of our wealth, 1t is & lie, incredible end absurd.” **And yet—and yet—aud yet,” it significantly adds, proceeding to adduce facts and figuree calculated to show that, after all, the estimate might be nearer the ruth than | the British people imagine, or would be willing to | admit. For truly this famine—this fearful, desolating ca- lamity—involves a terrible reproach to the Govern- ment of British India. India is ruled by the English on virtually despotic principles, the despotism being qualified professey by the ' paternal” element, The Government exercises, in fact, absolate power over tte natives, It bas a vast revenue at command. It employs ahost of officials in every district. It is backed by an immense military force. It rules as it pleases, without regard to the prejudices or the wishes of its suljects, | It is all powerful in its sphere; and being so an occnr- rence like this famine cannot be regarded otherwise tban as a deep national disgrace. The famine might have been foreseen and provided against. In the die- trict where the suffering and the mortality was great- est, the crops, we are informed, failed almost entirely for three successive years. In 1864 a cyclone worked terrible ravages, driving masses of sand over the rice plains; the crops of 1865 were worse than those of the year before; and this year there have been none, an jnundation haviog swept away the last chauce of the wretched cultivators. Yet | the Government, at the time the calamity | fell upon the country, was busying itself with measures for increasing taxation, and drawing larger rentals from the natives; and while the famine was doing its work of death, depopulating whole die- tricts, the Governor-General of India and the Lieuten- ant-General of Bengal, it seems, were in the pleasant bills of the Himalayas, enjoying the cool climate, and “ordering stately ceremonials.” And it is thus that British Indis is raled! England, we are told now-a- days, holds India by a moral tenure, snd for woral purposes; and by this argument it is attempted to just- ify what would otherwise be utterly indefeusible as & monstrous usurpation. But if the sad history of the famine be an illustration of the way in which the country is governed, we fear the rulers of British India have yet to learn what their responsibilities are to the people of ono of the most splendid regions of God's earth, 1f the electors of the Twenty-first Ward, irrespect- ive of party, could prevail upon Councilman Chris- topher Pullman to allow Lis name to be used an- didate for Aldérman in the ensuing Charter Election, | the tax-pagers of our whole City would probably have | the benefit of his energotic ayd honest sorviges for | | taking for the President to aspire to dignity, whether | whole political and then the whole physical power of | disposed of by the remorseless locomotive. It is not for the consultation to begin, and¥t is a bold under- personal or official, after the forensic humiliations of his Western progress; but, as octogenarians have heen taught to read and the chimpanzee to dive like a Christian, it is possible that the President may learn to treat his opponents with the respeet of silence, especially when they bappen to be the jmmediate representatives of the great Ameri- can people. To persist in a moral usurpa- tiou after such a warning, would be to defy first the the country, saving only lean minorities and illegal factions. The President may not be very wise; but Le is wise enough to avoid & collision by which he would be erushed, as fleas are flattened between finger and thumb, or as somnolent inebriates on railways are merely that he is numerically outvoted; the best mind and heart of the conntry have declared against him upon | the merits of the case, and the decision is oue from which there can be no appeal. It comes from acourt of final jurisdiction. The result of the elections, unless the President shall prove incorrigibly wrong-headed, will be to force him back to his true personal position as an executive officer. He now learns, by a rough bat sal- ntary experience, that be is not the fountain of fun- damental law; that, while he is entitled to his opinion of the Amendment, his opinion is of no more value than that of any other citizen; and that, while Con- |. ‘grea- las the right, it has also the power, to exclude from membership of that body all those failing in cer- tain qualifications by Congress. itself to be deter- mined. It may be hard for the President to abandon his dream of abgolute power, and to stay the hand which has iusanely grasped at legislative autbority; but he must do this, or he must do worse; he must do this, or he must openly defy the laws by an assault upon the very existence of Congress. But let us hope for the best! Let us trust that the advice which bis newspaper has given to the Presi- dent will be cheerfully, or at least stoically, followed, and that he will hereafter confine his struggles to what his menter calls & **candid codperation with Congress on neutral questions.” Private swearing and closet wrath we do not object to; but let us bave an end of public maledictions and after-dinner phil- ippics! Let us mark with continually ivercasing satisfaction the progress of the President in dignity! Let us witness his sublime abnegation of the dear delights of the veto!
