An extraordinary celebration of the Freemasons took place at Baltimore yesterday, the President of the United States appearing in Masonic regalia. P — Woe call attention to a communication on emigra- tion to Brazil which we publish in another column. If the facts are as reported, they deserve the attention of our Government. The death of the Tycoon of Japan is confirmed. The new Tycoon would send an embassy to the Ewmperor of Russia, with the object of defining the boundary between Japan and Russia, and arranging sowe difficulties which are pending between the two Governments. —_— Curious details of the intended flight of Maximilian are published by Sciior Romero. Gen. Bazaine in- sisted that Maximilian must abdicate before he conld be allowed to leave. This Maximilian declined to do, and thus he remained in Mexico, much against his desire. The French Government is reported as pre- paring a conciliatory note on the Mexican question. P ————— The State Equal Rights Ascociation met yesterday, and, after highly intelligont addresses by Mrs. Stan- ton aud Blackwell, adopted a resolution to the effoct that, as the State Constitution *“ must originate with and be assented to by a majority of the people, in- cluding as well those whom it disfranchises as those wham it invests with the suffrage,” women, therefore, should be elected delegates to the approaching Con- stitutional Convention, inasmuch as no ruling class ever can Jegislate wi or o disfranehised class. e . The tenor of onr South American correspondence, published this morning, leads to the inference that the war between Spain and the allied republics will shortly be terminated, Chili having consented, with the ap- proval of Bolivia and Ecuador, to the proposals of the mediators. There appears, however, to be an obstacle n the way of the speedy return of peace, Peru, it is reported, having indignantly rejected the Anglo-French mediation—or rather, Col. Prado, the head of the Pee ruvian Government. The people of Victoria (British North America) are becoming clamorous for annexation to the United States. They sce no hope for the country as a colo- nial possession of England, and desire, therefore, to cut their present connection with all possible speed, and form a new and more profitable one. But will they be allowed to doso? Here is an opportunity for testing the sincerity of that large party in England professing to hold the modern doctrine that colonies are incnm- Drances to the mother country, and ought to be al- lowed to go whenever thoy are disposed to leave. Some of our city journals seem to take literally the announcement, received throngh the Atlantic Cable, on the authority of The London Morning Star that Lord Derby’s Cabinet are prepared to submit to Par- liament, on its meeting next February, a ** brilliant Reform bill. A moment’s reflection would convince them that the expression must have been used iropically. If we are to credit the English papers, this Government project of Reform proposes to confer the suffrage upon every tenant of a house without reference to the rating, provided that the person claiming to vote has resided in the same house for three years previous to the election, To appreciate the value of this concession to the working classes, it has only to be borne in mind that the majority of them pay a weekly rent, and are compelled by thei cirenmstances to change their residences pretty fre- quently. Such a measure, if it were possible to cavry it, would be “‘a mockery, a delusion and a snare.’, Well might The Star designate the project a ** bril- liant " one. ] RITUALISM AND THE CHURCH OF EN- GLAND. The question of Parliamentary Reform is not the only subject that is at present disquieting the English people and “frighting” the conservative **isle from its propriety.” Another disturbing clement has sud- denly wade its appearance, in what the British press designates the Ritualistic controversy, which is agi- tating the religious world of England to an ex‘raordi- nary degree. Bishop Colenso is allowed to enjoy a respite for the time being, and amidst the fierce con- flict which has risen aneut ecclesiastical paraphernalia and modes of worship, the authenticity of the Penta- tench and the inspiration of the O1d Testament prophets are allowed to sleep. The Anglo-Episcopal Churcb, it is well known, is an ancicnt state establishment. Its bishops are ** lords spiritual,” sharing in the outward, conventional dignity of peers of tho realm. It hasa splendid hierarchy. It possesses immense revenues, and its dignitaries enjoy splendid incomes. It is a great and wealthy national institution, existing and supported ostensibly for spiritual pur- poses—for the instruction and training of the peoplo in religious doctrine and practice—and its means and opportunities of doing good in 1ts peculiar mission and sphero are unbounded. But these things, which prima facie seew to bo all in its favor, are in reality inimical to its usefulness. Its ministers, independent in great measure, of popular control, show by their conduct, as & body, that, with all their pretensions to Apestolic descent, they are but human, and that, despite the virtues which might be supposed to attach to an offico traceable, as they contend, directly to St. Poter himself, they are in no wise superior to ordinary mortals. Numbers of them are just now engaged in fiercely discussing the question of ecclesiastical vestmonte—of **clerical millinery,” as it has been bappily termed—in settling the numbex of gennfiec- tions the officiating priest ought to make in certain given oircumstances, and in debating whether religious service shouid be conducted in broad day with lighted wax-tapers or not. With some of them the old enow- white surplico snd the respectable black silk gown ere at o discounts they must bave green waistcoate, and must be toged in muslin gown with cross em- broidered on the baok. These contend for particular kinds of priestly vestmonts & in o high degree sym- bolio, and would almost class among the mortal sins any departure from the onstoms of the Church of the middle ages in regard to the costume of the olergy- man. Ritualism is, in fact, all the rage now with the High Clurch party in England. The * weightier law" divine are lost sight of; and in- niters o0k stoad of these, attention is exclusively devoted to the tithing of ** mint, anise and cumin.” The Ritualists are uot, howeyer, to be allowed to bave everything their own way. Their conduct has aroused fierce opposition in certain quarters, The Non-Conformist ministers ece danger (o Protestantism in these efforts of the Episcopal clergy to assimilate the worship of the English establishment to that of the Roman Catholic Chureh. Spurgeon, the eminent Baptist divine, has sounded the tocsin, in a sermon he recently preached in London, and with that out- spoken boldness for which he is distinguished, has declared that the English bishops are a useless body of men, who have never done any good service to the church. And among the great body of the people there seems to be a determination to give no quarter to the Ritualists. Disturbances have already oc- curred in several places, and we have before us an account in & London paper of somo very riotous pro- ceedings in & church situated in a village adjacont to that city. 8o serious, says the report, are matters becoming in the village, that several additional con- stables have been sent to reside in it. The clergyman bas been assaulted while conducting public worship, the school-house has been set fire to, and au attempt has been made to shoot the schoolmaster, who, it seems, is a gealous partisan of the obnosious clergy- man. The controversy is,fin fact, waxing furious; and in view of the epirit manifested by the com- batants on both sides, we aro not surprised to find one of the dignitaries,of the fEstablishment, the Arch- deacon of Surry, declaring, in a recent charge o the clergy, that the Church is *reeling to its conter,” and that *“ the hour of its trial is at hand." The quostion of the future of the Anglo-Episcopal Establishment has more than a mere local interest for those immediately concerned in its maintenance or its overthrow, for it touches the cognate question of the usefulness of church establishments in general. ‘Taking o dispassionate and impartial view of the his- tory of this great national institution, it cannot be denied that, a8 an evangelizing agoncy, it has been a woful failure. The child of compromise, as Macaulay in his History of England shows, it has all the characteristic foeblencas of such an origin about it For purposes of aggression upon the regions of vice and crime,its power is painfully small. Its chiel virtue lios in its quict conservatism; but this, which some pronounce its strength, will ultimately be found its fatal weakness. It is evident that cither it bas no proper conception of its mirsion, or no heart for its work. In England, Lord Shaftesbury avers, there are at present 1,200,000 women engaged in unwomanly work, who are for the most part in a savage condition. In the ten chief cities of England, it is computed there are about 300,000 prostitutes. There are, as statistics show, 1,250,000 paupers; and the vice of drunkenness, we are told, 1 rapidly increasing among the lower classes; while there are countless numbers of men, women and children in a state of woful ignorance of their duty both to God and man. And in the face of all this, what are the clergy doing? Why, debating about the color and the eut of priestly vestments, about the vir- tues of wax tapers in religious services, and the use of silver spoons to fish flies out of the sacramontal wine! The Church of England, as a State establish- ment, scems doomed. A process of disintegration has already set in, and it is evident the structure can- not stand much longer. Let Parliamentary Reform be carried, and religions freedom in the fullest gense must soon follow. The ballot-box will do for Eng- Jand what the Declaration of Independence did for the United States—free the country from ceclesiastical trammels, and open a new field for religious enter- prise and activity. The beneficial results of such a reformation, will not be a doubt(ul question. com— RAILROAD CHARGES AND PROFITS, Cheap transportation is so esseutial to the growth and prosperity of every community in any country, that the subject has recently beew most thoronghly investigated by the ablest economists both in America and in England, It has ever been the policy, rigidly enforced, of all railroad managers to conceal from the public the actual cost of moving trains and carrying freight per wile. Given charges to pas- sengers and shippers per mile upon & road equipped to do all the business that can af- ford to pay the scheduled rates, returns a satis- factory dividend to stockbolders. A larger outlay of capital, upon the enlargement of power and facilit, and a reduction of rates to increase trade, might make the same return, but would not increase the monthly dividends. It is not, therefore, the interest of the ow 3 and of roads to in- crease the outlay of capital and enlarge the traftic by a reduction of charges, if the dividends per centum, on the investment, are not there larged. But to the puldic it is of the most vital inters if railroad corporations refuse to reosgnize aud respect the rights and interests of the people in the transac- tion of businese, as public carriers, it will become the duty of the sovereigns in this country to enforce their claims for cheap carriage upon the companies they have themselves created. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts bas taken the initiative in this work of reform. At the last session of the Legislature of that State, a joint Special Com- mittee was instructed to investigate the management of the reilroad counccting the cities of Boston and Albany. Inthe report, the Committee charges the mavagers of that road with having limited the pros- perity of the peopie, and having impaired their reputation for enterp) The State advanced its money and loaned its credit to establish direct and economical communication from the West to New-England. The ** Western Railroad " was completed, and traffic at once set in, and rapidly increased with the growth of the Western States. From 1556 to 1864, eight years, the through managers tunpage arriving at Albany had increased 149 per cent. During this period the road ruuning from Albany to Springfield added to its equipment 212 freight cars, and the Wor- cester road added none. During the seme time, the New-York Central Railroad, which ix a continuation of the line from Boston to the great lakes of the West, added 2,095 cars, and increased its business 400 per cent, while that of the Massachusetts road had in- creased only 62 per cent; and as the increase of local business excceds this, it appears there ™ not been added one car to accommodate the through freight between HBoston and Albany. This utter failure to meet the require- ments of the public, and to comply with the eriginal intent of the incorporating act, Las determined the peopleof the Commonwealth to move in the matter, and to force the resumption of the franchises of the road by the State, to be managed by the people for the people. A special meeting of the Boston Board of Trade was Leld on Monday aiternoon to listen to & communica: tion from the Hon, Josiah Quiney, on the subject of devi ‘ng means for increasing the facilities for com- municating with the West, In the course of the investigation Mr. Quincy thorougbly examined the railroad systems and man- ageruents in Europe and America, and bas succeeded in finding ene case, and one case only, in which the manager of the business of & rallrosd company in bis roport entered fully into the detail of expenditures and receipte, thereby showing the actual cost to the company of conveying coal on its road ard incidentally on any other road. Upon this road coal was carried from the mines to the metropolis, and all trains were returned empty, thus greatly adding to the cost of trapsportation, Trains of 30 cars each, and carrying 190 tuns, were run at a cost that euabled the con- tractor to carry coal at a cost of 32 cents for 100 miles. The ‘ English Board of ‘T'rade,” in Londoo, bas taken up the subject, aund wupon full ex- WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2I amination reports that the average expenditure por train per mile, for all the railways in the United Kingdom, has been 62 conts; this includes all trains, freight or passenger, carrying between 200 and 300 tuns cach. The estimate is made to cover expenses for *maintenance of way and works, locomotive power, repairs and renewals of cars, general trafic charges, Government taxes, compensation for per- sonal injary and losses, legal and Parliamentary ex- penses, and miscellancous and working expenses not included in the above.” By the statistics of competing lines of road, Mr. Quincy shows that, in goveral contests for the traffic Letween common points, fares were reduced from 14 10 to $1 BO, and freight charges experienced a like reduction; yet, at the end of the year, the compa- nies found no reduction in the revenue, but still ro- ceived a not profit of about 250 per cent o the cost of running each train. Assuming that the average prices por train in En- gland are app'icable in this country, and challenging those who dispute to show bow they differ, Mr. Quincy eays, *“a train carrying 200 tuns of freight or passengers could be run between Boston and Albany at o net cost of $150 50, The charges on this road aro $7 por tunm, or $1,400 for one train of 200 tun: of freight, or 6,000 for Las- songers, at $6 each. In the evidenco appended to the legislative report appears tho fact that froight is carried from Western cities to the aeaboard, a distance of 1,100 miles, at & charge of §10 per tun to the shipper. This is less than ove cent per tun per mile, which is a paying rate, and profitable to the carrier. The charges, therefore, between Boston and Albany should be reduced from $7 to §2 per tun; and in order to accomplish this, and a corresponding reduction in passenger fares, Mr. Quincy proposes that the State shall, as provided forin the charters, purchase the connecting hnes between Boston and Albany, reduce the echedule of prices to one-sixth of the present rates, and place the management of the roads in the control of the Boston Board of Trade. If it be true, as asserted by Mr. Galt, an experi- enced railrond manager in England, that a passenger can be conveyed 100 miles at a cost of 6 cents, cer- tainly the people in this country are most outrageously taxed for the support of monopoliea. If for 10 cents a passenger can be conveyed from Boston to Albay, and for 55 cents to Chicago, the charge of 60 times these sums will not long be endured by the people. It is undoubtedly true that low rates of transporta- tion increaso trade and promote the growth of popu- Jation and wealth, and is, at the same time profitable to the public carriors. The action of the people and Legislature of Massachuselts should etimulate in- vestigation in other States, g0 that, if possible, the burden that hangs like & mill-stone on the necks of people and communities distant from commercial centers may be specdily removed and the tyrauny of monopoly be destroyed by appropriate legislation. — e THE TRIBUNE AND THE UNION €AUSE. To the Fditer of The N. V. Tribune, Sir: Politicians, of the Democratic persnasion especially, have been surprised with the result of the eleetion of Inst Tuesday in this city. The defeat of the Democrats has been attributed to several causes, namely : the quarrel between the two wingy, and the disgraceful proceedings at their last public meeting, at which the Hon D, L. Seymour was fo woved _from p—the disgust of the Fen anperior organiz industry of the Repub- liean party, &e., & cause acting quietly and silently for the last twelve months has been either unkuown or over- tooked. I refer to the distribution of Tuk WERKLY TRIBUNE among the workingmen of Troy by the proprictors of some of the large manufactories. An smount of influcnce has been ex erted by this that it is difficult to estimate. Having consider able communication with the recipients of the weekly monitor, Tean only say how gladiy It is received, how perseveringly read, and how much it is the topic of conversation. The gain in the Republican vote in the Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Wards of this city, 1 feel conyinced is mainly to be ered ited to this source. 1 know of no publication that for o small a sum imparts so ek solid information. Yours Troy, N. Y., Nov. 10, 1866, Now AND THEN The following statement of our circulation iu a few of the Counties in this State serves to illustrate the influence of Tie TrIsUNE in aid of the Union cause.

Union State and Connty Commit are obligml to collect and spend large sums of money just.previous to each important election. This is all well, but one-half the amount spent a year in advance to disseminate good newspa- pers would produce a better and more permanent effect, Every earnest Republican knows one or more maderate Democrats or doubtful voters who would be glad to learn the truth through a weekly newspaper, and who would not only vote right, but would en- lighten other men of their class. As the Winter is the workingman's reading season, this is the time to commence the canvass for the next election, Let each Union man see that at least one honest Democrat has the reading of THe WEEKLY TRIBUNE regularly or oue year, and it will tell when the votes are —[ Ed. Tribune _— THE BASIS OF SUFFRAGE. To the kiditor of the N. V. Tribune. Sin: Have you thoughttully considered the idea exf' pressed in your article to-day on * The Right of Suffrage,” ** That an annual poll-tax of a dollar or s0—to be paid some months before voting—would prove a far better safeguard against improper voting than any intelligence test that could be devised I Would ot such a *safeguard” prove s new and prolifio source of corruption by the use of money! It scems to me, from past experie in political matters, that all, or nearly all, vagrants, paupers, and the whole of the erimi nal class (whom you think would be cxcluded by such a safe- guard) would demand to have suck @ tax paid by the managers nother of the political parties. o the candidates for h were in nomination; while, on the other hand, and well-meaning, but poor men, would be thereby o nsk others to pay such tax in order to secure theiy he uwe of money—the demand for money by the voters for their votes—is slready fearful, 1t seems fo be growin moro and more dieult for .,{mr man, bhowever wel qualified. to be elected to auy office of lonor or profit, and Whatever tends to increase this difficulty, it seems to me, onght 10 he avoided. Truly yours, T Paterson, N.J., Nov. 16, 1866, Aunswcer.—~What we suggest is the payment ot a tax wmonths before au election—eay in November or Decem- ber of this year to qualify as a voter next year. How could **candidates” be expected to pay voters' taxes months before they became candidates ! Nor would vagrants aud criminals be registered this year, even if it were not forbidden—in order to get their votes next year; because they would not (prob- ably) be forthcoming when wanted. The investment would be of the sort known perhaps to one of our new Congressmen, where ‘‘the more you put down the less you take up.” Twenty dollars may be offered for a vote on election day by one who would not have paid twenty cents to register the voter ten months before, . It seems'to up esseutial that voters should be sepa- rated from non-voters by a Lroad, clear line, which could not be evaded and would forbid the partisan man- ufscture of voters on the eve of an election, And as the tax would be absolute, while voting would still be optional with the voter, we do mot see bow he could expect or ask any one to pay it for him.—[Ed, cont The Constitutional Amendment bas had a curious history in the lower branoh of the Oregon Legislature. The telegraph first informed us of the ratification of the Amendment by both Houses of the Legislture, 1866. Later we learned that two Union members of the Houso having been unseated, aresolution was adopted by that body declaring that the * ratification of the Amendment did not express the will of the House, as it now stands, after being purged of its illegal mem- bers.” This resolution was passed by 24 Yeas against 23 Nays, one Union inember, Mr. Rosenheim of Port- land, voting with the Democrats. A fow days later, a motion to reconsider the disapproval of the ratifica- tion was passed, Mr. Rosenheim returning to bis party, and on October 10 a new and final vote on the motion to disapprove the ratification was taken, and the motion nogatived by 24 Yeas against 23 Nays—a strict party vote, Thus Oregon maintains its claim to be one of the States which ratified the Amendment, while Mr. Rosonheim has established for himself an unenviable reputation of imbecility. P —— TRUE. Our Southern exchanges bring us the most cheoring intelligence. Leading Virginiays are enthusiastic in organiziog a State Agricultural Society. A call is made for & meeting of all concorned at Riohmond, on BROTHERS the 20th inst. Railroads return members free. In North Carolina a State Agricultural Society is to be organised at Raleigh on the 27th inst. At New-Orleans a_ great Mechanics' and Agricul- tural Fair commences on the 20th and continues to the 20th. All steamers return passengers and goods free, evon as far north as Cairo and St. Louis; also, as many as 12 railroads, some of which are in Iowa, New-York and Vermont. On another and kindred subject the South is alive, that is, to a more varied industry. They propose to cheat the Government out of the tax on cotton by having it manufactured at home. This tax shall be a blessing in disguise. They can afford to bid high for the labor of factory girls from New-England, and they say that these girls will be the Sabine women whose children will conquer the world. They see that when they bogin to manufacture, emigration will flow in, and not before. No longer will thoy look to the Dem- ocrats or the Presideut to save them, They willsave themselyes, Instead of tryingto reform the North, they will reform the South. These ideas appear in all the leading Southern pa- pers. There is another subject on which they dwell. They say the day of large farms is past. There can be no successful farming if the owner is not his own superintendent, if he does not stay in the field from morning till night, and if be does not have as much practical knowledge as any hand. Forty acres will be as much as any one can manage. When farms are of this sizo, population will be dense. Then there can Dbe schools and a bigh state of civilization. The New- Orleans Commercial says: ** Right or wrong, moral or immoral, just or unjust, possible or impossible, we must help ourselves.” These are the brightest days the South ever saw. Give us your hand! e RECEPTION OF THE BROOKLYN ART-ASS0- CIATION. The Brooklyn Art-Association held a reception at the Academy of Music last cvemng, and as usuz!, the large Hall was crowded with tho invited guests, The nicht was beautifal, with a splendid moon, and mavy New-Yorkers Dbraved the dangers of the deep aud crossed the ferry to sce if there were veally any good thing in Nazaroth. Forone thing, they found elean aud peaceful streets leading to a handsome building, to wit, the Academy of Music, ono of the best works of Leopold Eidlitz, of which Brooklpn is very properly proud and which we are always glad of an opportunity of getting inside of. Incredulovs New-Yorkers found, 100, in the great hall examining the pictures, or in the boxes of the theater chatting and listening to the 1music, a8 many pretty girls and bandsome women and fine- Jooking men and boys as could bave been mustered on their own side of the river, for all the best of Brooklyn society is interested in this association’s work, and in everything that belongs to education and culture, He had leisure to refiect, too, that his own city has not, and stands no chance of having, an opera house inany way equal, either for beauty or convenience, to that of Brooklyn. She has foolishly decided to rebuild her ugly, inconvenient opera house exactly a3 it was before, and to take ber place again behind Boston, Philadelphia, and her own suburb Brook- Iyn, and this, too, with such men as Eidlitz, Wight and Mould among her architects; men, any one of whom could bave given her & design that might have put her before all the cities of the worid. The exhibition of the Brooklyn Art Association is by 10 means a3 good e we had hoped it would be. There are not, wo are sorry tosay, more than a dozen pictures on the walls that are worthy of the place. We are sure that if the Association would pgl¢ worg vigorovs efforty they eould sccure the loan of enough gom] pictures, native and foreign, to mako their exhibition of real value and interest. But, if they cannot, then it is both their interest aod their duty to refuse poor pictures, and decline to in- creaso the size of the catalogues at the expense of good taste, We would not demand an absolute rigor, be- cause people wust be taught, and one cannot always say what will serve as schoolmaster to unaccustomed eyes—but there canmot be too many good pictures, nor too few bad ones. A greast many of the pictares exhibited last night ought to bave been inconti- nently rejected, and among them Mr. Leutze's * Lady Godive.” Many of the pictares which we would havecon- demned to exclusion failed from inexperience, from incom- petence of the hand te carry out the intention of the mind, but Lere is a man of the highest pretension, of the loudest self-assortion, whose work is beneath contempt in concep- tion and in execution, There was & time when such works did harm, because people belioved that a great reputation must necessarily be founded on real performance, but they have been taught many useful lessons, and braggart impu- dence no longer walks unchallenged, We wish the Brook- Iyn Art Association success, and trust that tbat they will do their best to deserve it. They bavo a field before them white with harvest, and have nothing to do but to put in their sickles, THE FENIANS. —— MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS IN CANADA—RAID ON NIAGARA VILLAGR ANTICIPATED.
