The Tennessee House ot Representatives has ex- tended the benefit of the new bounty bill to the rela- tives of dead black soldiers as well as white. Last Spring this act of juatice was defeated, and its adop- tion shows a moral progress of which the State may well be proud. The Convention of the American Equal Rights Association, which will meet at Albany next Tues- day, has the attention of many earnest reformers, who desire to remove the prejudice which makes color & bar to full citizenship. The subject of woman's right to vote will also be brought before it. Gov. Fenton has appointed Hon. James R. Whit- ney a Commissioner to investigate the charges pre- ferred by the Citizens’ Association against Street | Commissioner Cornell. Mr. Jno. Sedgwick will, in like manner, inquire into the alleged official mal- teasance of Controller Brennan. Judge Michael Connolly bas been nominated for the office of Controller, by the Independent Democrats of the City, at whose instance the Republicans united on Gen. Halpine, and secured his election as Register. The nomination is therefore backed by a large and very influential popular vote. Judge Connolly is a long-avowed enemy of the Ring. The National Intelligencer, in & more humane article than usual, realizes ‘‘that there mever can be a stable peace in this country until the colored race are made entirely equal before the law in regard to Civil Rights.” The Intelligencer can well afford, after t to take & step further, and trausplant itself from senti- ment to justice. Civil Rights cannot be guaranteed without Impartial Suffrage, nor will any other plan bring perfect healing and forgiveness to the estranged sections. B — Au Atlantic Cable telegraw informs us that the Rebel bondholders are about, to bring their claims to the notice of the British government as & set-off to the Alabama claime. Either the said bondholders are disposed to be facetious, or some wag has been perpe- trating & hoax. As we can hardly imagine that these speculating gentlemen are in & mood for joking sbout their investments in Confederate bonds, we inclive to the opinion that the telegram is a concoction. Possi- bly the report has been set aflost by a bondholder, who, sold badly himeelf, would like in bie tarn to sell a few greenhorn A telegram in The Chicago Times sesures us Southern men in Washington indorse the position lately taken by that paper, preferring tho broad plat- form of Universal Amnesty for Impartial Suffrage t the Constitutional Amendment, Mr. Trescott, well- known in connection with the Rebellion, and es an Agsistant Secretaryjof State under Buchanan, adopts this view as that of his own State, South Carolina. Wo shall be glad if the mass of Southern thinkers presently dgelare themaolves with counl wisdom and s and manufacturers wallowing in wealth, The cap- italist sags ho cannot build or improve bocause labor and materials are g0 dear; the laborer retorts that living is 80 costly that, high as bis wages are, he can scarcely get on. All but a very fow realize that we are in a false position; cach insists that we sball get out of it at the oxpense of somebody else. Tho sky grows 60 squally that business is threat- oned with stagnation. Manufacturers are stopping {Lir works bocause they can mo longer place their goods; mercbants aro selling little in the present, and wish they bad sold less in the past. The Bouth bas been glutted with costly fabrics which she does not noed and cannot pay for; and protests on mercantile papor are uncomfortably plentiful. The eight Wall- stroot firms which regulate the price of gold, making it cheap whon they havo it to lend and dear whon they chooso to call it in, are at their wit's ond to koep up the premiom, and would bo utterly swamped if Socretary McCulloch would only buy up and estin- guish some kind of Public Debt with his surplus gold. “The Corn orop being large, the West is full of Hogs, and the great operators who manago the Pork market daro not buy and pack at the prices of last year, and are compolled to lot the market settle, to their own beavy loss. Nobody wants to hold Butter and Cheese at current rates; Boof and Mutton, though still bigh, aro falling, for Poultry is so cheap and abundant that tho poor can't afford to cat Boef. Our markets are glutted with produco and fabrics; and all know that, unless thero shall bo a frosh debauch of Paper Money, prices of nearly everything must be lower. Now, then, is tho time—if Congress and the Treasury could be induced to think so—to resume Specis Paymonts. Thoso who are not ready never will bo. If a year and a halfl of peace, with an abundant Roevenue and a diminishing Debt, have not sufficed for preparation, twenty yoars would not auswer any better. Infact, thore are to-day more debt and moro pecumiary interest in the way o Resumption than there woro in June, 1865, We shall nover resume unless wo try to; and whenever wo really try wo ahall resume. And, sinco wo are to have a season of declining prices and stagnant trade, why not resolve to go down to lard-pan at once? Lot us resumo—there i3 nothing wanting but tho will—and have Specie prices for Labor, Produce and (loods. Then, thousands will invest in railroad- making, building, &c., &c., who aro now deterred by the considoration that what costs $15,000 will be worth but $10,000 when we get down to rock-bottom, as we surely must and aball. Do let us descond from the clouds and stand onco more on terra firms. If this was over right, it is right gonerally, and is espacially right now. ——— A COUPLE OF BROKERS. That ths spirit of spoculation, which is now #o rife, ahould Iay bold on the wise men of Washington, is not surprising; and no one would bo astonished to loarn that membors of the Cabinet, and oven Mr. Johnson himself, now and then, hazard their little Dalancos on the little kite-fiying of the innocents of Wall-st. Human natore is weak, and even the chastening effect of & roverse viow of the Fall eloc- tions may not suffice to restrain great statesmon from a gratification of their natural passion for the rovge et noir of tho stock market. It is sad to think that those whom the nation holds in such unlimited estoom are thus weak; but wo ocannot expect to get all the virtues for tho meager salaries of our ohiofs. They will bave their littie fling; and we can only ask that they venture thoir own mouvoy and cover their own ** shorts."” In the abstract, they would, doubtless, concode the justice of this proposition; but if rumor is to be bo- lioyed, they aro setting up business on Governmeut account, which may prove anything but satisfactory tothose who are to furnish tho *‘margin." Mr, Liout.-Gen. Sberman and Mr. Minister Campbell have gone to Mexico to represent tho nation in & transaction of very questionable promiso and atill more questionable justice, It is reported that they are to open shop at Vera Cruz, and tbat this opulent and unembarrassed people is to put up s margin of 50,000,000, more or less, for a apeculation which will, at least, bring ua diversion, if it do not bring us profit. Ewperor Max is said to be tired of his con- tract, aud to be on bis way to the shades of Miramar. All this is very well: and, if left to themselves, the Mexicans will adjust the matter to their own satisfac- tion, in their own way. They may not do it very sucoessfully, but that is their business. If they choose to continue their old dissensions, we may pity them, but we have no right to interfere with them. Let us wish them well, and give them our friendly | assistance; but, in the name of common decency and of common prudence, let jus not do what we seom about to do. Itis currently believed, in well-informed businesscir- cles, that the Administration brokers are to negotiate big thing in Mexicans—Dbeing sent for that purpose on the shrewd hint of M. Montholon that there is chance for a corner. Divested of blatherskite—such 88 ** Monroe Doctrine,” ** Protection to a Sister Repub- lic,” ** Sheltering folds of the American Flag," and similar twaddle, the thing is as follows: The Mexican people are to be assumed (by what authority is not stated) to owe from fifty to a hundred million dollars to France, as & compensation for old claims, and for an ineffectual attempt to enforce those claims by bloodshed and usurpation. France, having fought for ber money and been whipped on a field of her own choosing, would be naturally glad to "get the money, nevertheless, and to be paid for the whipping into the bargain. Campbell is supposed to play Diplomat mirabile dictu—and suggest to Mexico that she ought to pay the money, and that be will kindly arrange with Mr. Gen, Castelneau to accept his millions in the form of United States 3 per cent. bonds, which will be issued for the sake of peace, humanity, conciliation, and all that sort of thing, yon know, and Lower C fornia, Sonora, Chihuabua and Coabuila. At this point in the negotiations, Sherman comes forward, as Big Injun, which he knows how to do, and lends the mysterious aid of his gentlo iufluence, to the confusion of whom it may concern, to, at least, a belief in the prudence of quiet concession. With good backing at ‘Washington,the thing will work, and the outrage will be accomplished, because Mexico is in no condition to resist the blandishments and threats which will be implied or expressed by our agents, while Juares is in condition to buy our assistauce at a high price. 1f accomplished, the United States will have added largely to her territory, which is already too large on that boundary; will have acquired a large Spanish- speaking, * Greaser” population; will have opened an aceount, of which the first millions will be only an item; will bave decided that Mexico ought to pay to Franee a snm which France fought for and could n't get, and which Mexico thinks she ought not to pay; and will have expressed approval of the high-handed measure by whieh Napoleon, in our days of sorest trial, attempted to insert s wedge which should aid in severing the Union. Somebody will grow rich and powerful through this stock-jobbing, and Mexico will foot the bill—or else we shall. The late canvass in our State was remarkable for fullness of attendance at the meetings, at least of the Republioans (perbaps at those of the Democrats also), and for the patient and sager interest wherewith the peopls listened to apssochos not alwavs lively, but which they rarely soemed to find too long. Never beforo wero the calls to ““Goon,” when a spoaker soomed about to close, so general and hearty. i who Among the 1ds in need from other States, powerfully aided in our canva of this, the Hon. Hawnisan Hamuin of Maine, Warrer Harer- MAN of ahire, Gov. Josern R. HAWLEY of Connec s, AxpREW G. CURTIN and the Hon. G. A. Grow of Penusglvania, the Hon. J. M. Asm- LEY, Gen. CARgY and the Hon. SAMUEL GALLOWAY of Ohio, wers preéminently offective. ~There were others from abroad who did us good scrvice—to say nothing here of our own speakers—and doubtless some whom wo have not named werc es effective as some of those instanced above; but we happen to recall these brethren to whom the Republicans of our State are under lasting obligations. New-Ha “ IWHEN THE DEIL WAS SICK." The Sun, though profossing independenco of par- ties, gave John T. Hoffman o sealons and offective support throughout our late contest. Whilo avowing a zealous devotion to Manbood Suffrage in Great Britain, it did its best to defeat Manhood Suffrago in the United States. But the election is now over; and it recognizes the fact that some issues have been set- tled by it which cannot bo revived—that the Demoe- racy of the Future must be quite other than the Sham Democracy of the recent past. Horo is its warning to the party which has jist been beaten i spite of its support: ‘ TR DEMOCRATIC PATIENT. The Democratic doctors are now engaged in an interesting Qiscussion upon the chances of saving the life of their party Sowe of them seem to think that there is still enough vitality inthe old body to admit of its restoration to politic health while others ure inclined to think that the late elections gave it backset from which it_cannot possibly recover. Tho docto therefore. disagree in the case, n doctors proverbially do, an {his makes the subject all the more worthy of examination. It will be admitted, at the outset, that tvurfil!nng should be done o wuve the old party and restore it to the youthful vigor aud urity which it enjoved in its palmy days. ~ But, is it possille l’u #0 restore it1 'That can be determined only by a thorou diagnosis. If corruption has not entirely eaten away its vitals, we hetfeve that it might be saved by a skillful r*n\!rwul}-nlllifll modieation. There is no doubt that it is corrupt; for, dur ing the long period when 1t had possession of the Government, it lived m;i and indulged in dissipation. Still, wo believe that ity caso is not hopeless. 1t is very low, to be sure, and hus Darely urvived the lute elections, but &' good prescription and caroful nursing might yet bring it back o 1ife of uscfulncss and reinstate it in the atfections of the people. But, in order to nd chariatans who haye been pouring their the last fow yoars must be atonce dis hat be done, the coraments might as well be An entirely new courss of treatment, do that, the quac o Findad npon pructical common sense, and in keeping with the progress of the nge, is what the Democratio party needs to ro wioro it o the healthfol condition which it once enjoyed. Lustewd ights liniments, of being doctored with Slavery pills, an ourse of s it has been for years past, it must now medication, and stion. It must now chooss whether it will accept ohange or not. There is no other slternative—no other hope. Nothing clss can save it from going to the bourne of oblition 10 which, in its day. it has consigned many other parties. ¥ the sake of what che old party ones was for the & of what it might yet become, ‘we say, st it live the quacks who have controlled it for years past be enst nside, lot it turn from tho ways of error in which it o walked, lot it discard the course of nction which has brought it o the verge of dissolutior., and let it atart ¢ a now point of departure, with the beacou of liberty lighteument for uide.

The Sun reminds us forcibly of that old Joo Millor touching the rural lout who, baving got blind drunk, and been for several hours utterly oblivious, at longth awoko to conscionsness and a perploxity which he thus elucidated—" Bs T Giles Scroggins, or be I not? If I be Giles Scroggins, I 've lost six good oxen; if 1bon't Giles Scroggins, then I *ve found a cart.” Mr. Webstor in '45 insisted that, if the Whigs were to join the distinctive Free-Soilers of that year, the party would still be the Whig party; only Martin Van Buren would be the head of it. Lot us suppose that the so-called Democratic party should frankly accept The Sun's counsel — should oschew henceforth both “*Slavery pillsand State Rights Jinimenuts,” and instead “swallow good, large doses of Equal Rights, Freedom, Patriotism, National Progress and Advanced Civilization "—it would doubtless win back many who bavo renounced it and win over aome who have steadfastly opposed it; but would it bs able to bold those who mnow rally around its standard? How would Petroleum V. Nasby and bis very numer- ous disciples relish the chavge. * When I was l! boy,” grumbled an old fogy, **they taught us to love rum and hate niggers: now, they want us to hate rum and love niggers: for my part, I greatly prefer the old discipline.” There was o great deal of human nature, and especially of Democratic nature, in that old fogy. And it will be found a difficult job to con- | vineo the burners of negro orphan asylums and school- houses, the assailants of negro camp meetings in prayer-time, that a party which rejects ** Slavery pills and State Rights liniments,” aud stands for * nal | Rights, Freedom and Advanced Civilization,” is that on which their *‘young affections” were lavished. Does The Sun imagine that ' such a party, with such principles, as it con. templates, could carry the Five Points, Mackerelville, the Hook, and the Dead Rabbit district, by a vote of | more than ten to one? Ifit does, it is sorely mistaken. | 1t is its supposed leniency to vice and crime that gives | the Sham Democracy sostrong a hold on the depraved | and profligate quarters of our City. Take the brothels | and grog-shops out of our City, and no man on earth | believes that it would give anything like its present | Democratic majority. 1 We would not discourage The Sun in its efforts | to improve the Democratic party; but we have no | faith in their success. That party was long since deserted by thousands of its best and noblest sup- porters expressly because, after long and patient ef- fort, they were convinced that it would not and could | not be made what The Sum seems to suppose it may | be. Perhaps The Sun may have read an apothegm | touching the expediency of putting new wine into new bottles, which seems to us to shed light on the i | matter. e | THE COURSE OF TRADE UNDER RESUMP- ; TION. Attempts are made to strengthen the waning specu- lative feeling in all commodities, and of stocks in par- ticular, by parading the prices paid in March, 1364, | just before the panic of that season. A more correct idea of the value of property is had by comparing prices in 1859, when specie payments were the fashion, and the financial affairs of the nation undis- turbed by the ixsne of a thousand millions of irre- deemable paper, circulating as money. To make this point clear, the following table will be found com. . plete. The first column shows the prices with gold at, ' par.

NOVEMBER ' 17, 1866. ble, the Tulip mania, the Morus Multicaulis fover, and Maino wild lands, are nOW. No one can read the reports of Seeretaries Chase, Fes- senden and McCulloch in regard to the demoralizing effect of paper money, and not fail to see that their statements were within the truth, and acknowledge with them that no time shonld be lost in regaining the old and sccure basis of specie payments. This return to pecie payments hias numerous opponents, and with reason. To the debtor for commodities bought with gold at a premium, it insuzes certain los; and this class resists it, to gain time enough to get out. But, while one prudent man gets out, ten “‘en- terprising men" go in; and specie payments will surely find in existence a large class to be broken. This fact does not make it less imperative upon the Government to resume at the earliest possible moment, allowing the few to suffer in order that the many may go forth upon their business engagements on a solid basis. Tt is uscless now to call in question tho expediency of any financisl plan adopted to preserve the life of the Government. ‘What Congress has to do is to relieve the country from the effoct of “necessary evils.,” Its plain duty is to fund at the earliest moment all the 7.30s and compound notes, and to destroy every dollar of legal tonder it can get into its possession from its excess of income, above interest on the debt and an econom- ical administration of the Government, The re- cent announcement that the Secretary of the Treastiry has canceled four millions more of legal tenders, and that he will not use the fifty millions of reserve, is the most gratifying statement the Treasury has made since 1862, when the desperate resource of manufacturing legal tenders was sanctioned. It should be regarded as a final warning, to debtors and speculators upon borrowed money, that the Govern- ment means to do ita duty in’ this matter, and teach them prudence. As specie payments approach, the buying power of money will steadily increase, and the price of commodities of all kinds doclino. Ot of debtis out of danger now, with more truth than ever. —_— THE FLOUR TRADE. Forty-six years ago, in 1520, the character of New- York Flour was below that of the States of Penn- sylvania, Maryland and Virginia. There was an in- spector, but his standard was regarded as neither very high nor very uniform. Some of the New-York mil- lors then made good flour, above the standard, and doubtless found their interest promoted by keeping up tho credit of their brands, But in general, the orodit and character of New-York Flour, at home and abroad, was below that of the other States before named. In the year 1821, or early in 1322, John Brown, a baker, and an excellent judge of flour, was appointed to the office of Inspector ot Flour in New-York. He raised the New-York standard of Iuspection up to that of any, and above that of most of the Southern Inspectors, The grades of wheaten flour wero five: Superfine, Fine, Fine Middlings, Middlings and Ship Stuff. Somo of the millers, when they considered their flour to be of superior quality, would puton their Lrand twice, which was called tbeir double brand, and which would command a more ready sale, and sometimes a bigher price, but not often au ad- vance of more than twenty-five cents per harrel. Whoever then bought a barrel of Western or Troy Flourfor a family at a cost, perhaps, of from $5 to $7, had as good bread and pastry from it, as can now be made of St. Louis flour, costing $17 or $18. But little was thon beard or thought of ertra flour, and nothing of the numerous extras that now figure on the Dbarrels, and crowd the daily market reporta in the newspapers. Some millers kept their mills running upon standard flour, such as would pass inspection as superfine, and did not aim higher. Occasionally they would run too near, or even against the standard, and then John Brown's deputies would cut off super and leave fine, which usually redaced the price from 25 to 50 cents per barrel. Fine or superfine, it was a good whole- some article for bread, and was in good repute both at home and in foreign markets. Temptations assailed some of the millers then, as possibly they may incite some of the fratervity now. A large quantity of foreign wheat had been stored in bond in England, where it had lain several years, and had become unsound—musty. It had a peculiar, dank, malarious odor, and was called Bag Wheat, having been imported in bags. More than one of the New-York millers bought some of this bag wheat, and ground it with sound wheat, to the material injury of the quality of their flour, and the reputation of their brauds. When very lightly sprinkled, the mixtare being mostly of sound wheat, it did sometimes escape | the critical examination of the deputy inspectors, and | pass their ordeal. But it was not safe- then. Alittle leaven of that kind was sufficient to leaven the whole lnmp of the barrel, and insure its return to the ven. der. In the Summer of 1822, the yellow fever, so-called, appeared at the foot of Rector-st., and about Albany Basin. The lower part of the City was nearly de- serted, and what business was left to it wasdriven up | town--up to and above Spring-st. As vessels could not be furnished with elean bills of health, the foreign business, so far as exports were concerned, was broken up. The price of flour was so low, that many thou- | sand barrels, prineipally of Troy and Western brands, were sent to Philadelpbia, and there sold at a profit, The barrels and the branding were not in conformity with the requirements of the laws of Pennsylvaniag but the friendly and lenient inspector forbore their rigid enforcement, giving notice to the New Yorkers, that if they should come another year, they must ex- pect to comply with the laws of bis State. The quality of the flour was 0 decidedly above the Pennsylvania standard of inspection, that some of the western fine was fully up to Pennsylvania superfine, and passed as such there. The good people of Phila- delphia were not backward in appreciating this supe- riority, and, for a long time alterward, took care to be supplied with the better brands of New York Westermn Flour, How isit now ! How is New York Flour ap- | preciated in our own market ! The market report of Tuesday, November 13, 1266, quotes: Supertine State. . Exira State (unsou Extra State ¢sound)..

Does the miller put his name on the heads of his barrels of flour which he sells at $350? If Le does go, and if his flour is good, people will know where to go for good, cheap, half-priced flour. If he does not pat his name on his barrels, why not? Must the State of New- York have the credit or the discredit, as the fact may be, of indorsing and sending forth under its own |- name, holf-priced Slour which the manufacturer of it will not indorse with Ais own mame! Possibly the Legislature may have something to say in answer to this question, ! ‘We re, to notice a di tio) the part ER IR E SR T ey Asaociated Press, “Thare Is iothiag like compotition in busi Kow.Fork Cit: i wlh s of 1o gonera paalo hat Mr. Croig ALy v i ~The Washington Chrowicle bas, it will thusbe seen, rotired from the Associated Press.

VENETIA AND ROME. The annexation of Venetia to the Kingdom of Tialy snow an accomplished fact, as the plebiscitum or popular vote on the question bas resulled in 641,754 votes being cast in favor of aunexation, and only 63 against it Such a unanimity is without parallel iy modern history. Before the election, it bad begn re. ported that many Republicans on the ove sids, and many Ultramontanes on the other, would yots against anpexation, The former, it was would be influenced by the emphatic refusal of 2ini to recognize the Government of Victor Emangel, while the Ultramontanes would decline to vote for an excommunicated prinee. The result of the eleotion shows that both these parties have sacrificed their grievances and complaints upon the altar of their common country. They not only did ot vote against annexation, but they cast their votes for it. Thers were hardly any abstentions. With about equal to that of Ohio, the vote cast almost equals the highest vote ever cast in the State of Now- York. Thusthe plobiscitum of Veuetia will stand forth in bistory as the most empbatic and most nnai- mous expression of a national will that Las ever béen made. The verdict of the people of Venetia forsshadows the fate of Rome. In the course of about a month the French will bave evacuated Papal territory, and the Romans will then find an opportunity to express thoir wishes. The threat of excommunication sgainst every one who will, in any way, colperatein the over- throw of the Papal rule, may somewhat increass the negative votes, but that an imuiense majority of the ivhabitants of the Papal territory will vote and, if necessary, fight for annexation, admits of no doubt. As the withdrawal of the French troops, is near st hand, wa shall soon hear of a manifestation clearly showing the sentiments of the people of the Papal dominions. HIGH PRICES OF PROVISIONS. It is useless to call in question the fact that the pros- ent enormous prices of food, a3 well as of other articles needful tor the supply of human wants, are vory much enbanced by speculations stimulated by an inflated, and ever fluctuating curveney. Our our- rency is onr medium of exchange, but it has becoms a vory uncertain measure of value, Borrowers of money in the Cily of New-York, on good collateral security, can be supplied at five or six per cent.; while borrowers in Cincinnati, Chicago, and other interfor cities whers provisions are collected, and more or leas stored for an advance, have to pay 10 or 12 per cent.; and sometimes, as Moses has it in the play, when they want the money very much, ihoy aro charged double. 8o long as speculators can borrow at these rates of usaucs, they will run up prices by competition with each other, aud with- hold their corn from the market, until a more strin- gent money pressurs shall compel them to sell, with or without a profit; not unfrequently from deteriora- tion, unsoundness, and a declining market, at a heavy loss. The late decline in price of a few articles, al ready indicates the possibility of such a condition of things. The Secretary of the Treasury may promote it, if ho will reduce the volume of the currency aud prepare for specie payments. Let us urge Congress to be prompt with the enact- ment of a good Bankrupt Law. The speculators, it they cannot pay 300, bad batter pay 75 or 50 per cent., and bagin again on a better and safer foundation; er Detter yet, tarn their attention to the more substaatial blessings and solid rewards of Agriculture. The ten- dency of our inflated carrency, by raising prices, is, to discourage and diminish our exports, and to impair, if not to deatroy, what protection our laws afford to Domestic Industry generally, aund in particular to Domestic Manufactures. Other things being equal, the Nation that has the best, the most stable currency, enjoys the most effsctual protection. —_— Many of the leading men of South Carolina, includ- ing Gov. Orr, sustain sn effort to educate the 4,000 colored children of Charleston, and prepare the best of them for teachers. We are heartily glad to hear this; for all the Blacks need to obtain their righta is education enough to prove them. David Walker, the father of Edw. Garrison Walker,recently elected to the Massachussetts Legislature, aud celebrated as the suthor of * Walker's Appeal,"—a work circulated among the slaves in 1830—thus urged the necessity of education on his people: 1 would erawl on my hands and knees through mad and ofa man, where I would sit and hombly supplicate bim to instill into me that which men nor dev:: could remore only with wy life.
