It will be seen that he opposes impartial euffrage, and, as ever, asks for more.

Chief-Engineer Craven of the Croton Aqueduct De- partment retorts to Controller Brennan's statement of defense us to the price of pavements under his oper- ation, The Controller states that it had gone from $15.to $50 per yord. Mr. Craven states that the bighest prico was $2 97 per yard! There is just the difference of $47 03 between this figure and the Con- troller's, We spare comment, e Major-Gen. Benj. F, Batler speaks -this evening in Brooklyn on Executive Usarpation and its remedies. ‘We shall probably not sgree with Gen. Butler as to the present application of those remedies; but we in- sist that those who wish to hear him shall be nowise disturbed nor prevented by those who do not. If (as is whispered) any Should attend this Lecture with in- tent to interrupt its delivery, we trust the Police will be on hand in stch force as to protect efficiently the parsmount rights of those who attend in order to hear. The publie will ses that the long postponed trial of Controller Brennan will commence next Monday, Mr. Brenpan will then have an opportunity of show- ing whether or mot he has administered his duties bonestly aud faitbfully, and the gentlemen who sigoed the card of the Controller oan test their judg- mend in asking for him » new lease of officey Very properly and decorously, Mr, Brennan repeats olse- where that under no circumstances can he be a candi- date for reélection. ‘We hope m:m nominations to be pre- seuted by the City Convention will bo in advance of the exlsting slas of our sghoo] rulepsy Ty 10 more g<sculinl in pome Tegpects that we should havs good &chool offfoets thiah a falthful Contraller. We defy any voter to show that his children should he misgoverned and mistanght; and, if he caanot do that, 1t him certainly seoto it that good wen for Commissioners are nominated, and the wost rospecta- ble chosen. A Conseryative ** Army and Navy Union® in Washington, reprosentative of the soldiers who s sombled at Cleveland, have addressed an appesl to their affiliations of the press and the army for the ex- tousion of Tmpartial Suffrage in the Soutl in prefur- ence to any other plan of reconstruction. The proof accumulates that the sentiment of all partios is be- coming more disposed to leave the narrow coursos of uncertain political restriction, and sail into the broad and peaceful waters of Amnesty and Suffrage. e A corrospondent asks for information as to tho comparative expendituro for the eivil service of the Governments of the United States and Groat Britain. The aunual expenditure of the latter is noarly £73,000,000, and that of the former about $20,000,000. As to the actual outlay of the respect- ive countries, the proportion stands as five to two againat Great Britain; but bearing in mind that the population of the States is at prosent Inrger than that of the United Kingdom, the disparity will appear yol more marked. Judge Richard Kolley, who has been nominated by tho Republicans of the City for the offico of Controller, secured a competency as a prévision merchant on Third-ave., and eight years ago was elected a Police Justice by the voters of the Eighteenth and Twenty- first Wards, a distriet which has always been Demo- cratio. Two years ago he was redlected on a Citi- zons’ and Ropublican ticket, mnning sixor seven hund- red votes ahead of it. He is now President of the Fifth Nationa! Bank. Judge Kelloy has ripe ex- perience, business and civie respectability, and thongh a Republican, has unquestionable personal popularity with the Democratic massas. A dispatoh from Washington to a Philadelphia pa- per states that President Johnson has concluded to withdraw his opposition to Congress, and will give his reasons therefor iu his Annual Message. Weo might hesitate to accept this report as entirely true; but it is nothing strange or too sudden that a Prosident popularly elected, should bow to the expressed will of the people, reénforced aince the elections by the voice of his own partisans in favor of Impartial Suffrage. ‘We shall not hesitats to say, that any stop of his toward a reconciliation, comprehending jostice as well a3 magoanimity in its plan, cannot be otherwisa than advantageous to himself, to Congress, and to the peace of the country. _— 5 that the labor market of this ¢i srstocked, aud yet wae hear of a large + coming hither iu search of emple doed, be a real kindness to part in the country who may be tempted to try the metr olis for work, to let them know exactly how matters stand here. Mr. Halliday's card, which we pablish elsewhere, sounds & timely note of warning, and the press would be doing good service by giving it s wide circulation as possitle. The Buperintendent of the Five Points House of Indu is an ant subject to which his card refers, and it would be wise to give heed to his words of caution. 1t is notori at present o 7S, OUR DIPLOMACY ABOUT MEXICO. The Times of yesterday, under th f tons Information," answers our qu the rumored arrangement with Fra which the expenses of France were 10 be the territory of Mexico partiti by which The Times charn adjoct scarcely suggestive of imme is not partioul gracious, its reply is, to a certain extent, satisfactor; and & such we accept it with tha After referring to “ the wnawthorized assurances which eur Minister at Paris, who is now to be superseded by Gen. Dix, was reported to have given to t Freuch Government," The Times expresses its belief that no treaty of the character reported, by which we were to receive Mexi- cau territory or to gnarantee or pay the French claims, “has been negotiated by Mr. Bigelow," and adds, ““that it has not been sanctioned by the ernment we are confident, and that it will not be submitted to the Senate for confirmation we feel quite sure,” This reply is sufficiently definitive to relieve the public anxiety in regard to the consequences of any thorized assurances” which may have been given by the superseded Minister to France; and the further language of The Times, based upon a wisreading of s sentence in Tue TRIBUNE, exhibits a right apprecia- tion of the scheme which the canard of The Herald had attributed to the State Department. The Times, after referring to Mr. Seward's volumi- nous dispate agaiust foreign intervention, aske: “With all this before us, why should even embodied malico itself accuse the Department of which Mr. Seward is the head, of complotting with the Freach Emperor to ‘trample on the Monroe Doctrine’ and to | effect other analagous purposes dishonorable and | treasonable 1" Tur Trisrse had referred to “‘the thickeniug rumors that we had consented”—not to trample-ont the Monroe Doctrine, but *“to assist the French Emperor to wring from the people of Mexico the expense he had incarred in his bold attempt to trample out the ionroe Doctrine”—but we do not regret the erroneons impression of The Times, since it has given it the opportunity of denouncing the suggoested schome of our assisting Louis Napoleon to recover the expenses of his invasion as “dishonorable and treasonable.” The Times closes its article with declaring that “when the documents setting forth the more recent negotiations respecting this Mexican matler cgne before the country—which they wm ]lo—}i 2‘1{1 e seen that there fias bedn 1&“1:” avont our diplomacy from begiuning to end, such as has char- acterized few mnegotiations of an equally important Ant; :\rfulnnmd kind. It will be found that the interests and hoRor of mwungry and the traditions and senti- ments of 13 pedple havg been no less rogarded and firmly upheld throughodt, rights of Mexico. If this prediovion i confirmed at the opening of Congress, the countr;” Will be satisfied; but at fhis Than the Just &vll«null | idowd is fully satiaficd -that ; the nfe%, wetfase p0d bappiness Of tho United States wol be more' ¢f* foctually promoted if the former sbould reaiy its ocomplete integrity and independence, than they oewid bo by any dismembermeont of Mexico with o transfer or diminution of its sovereignty, even though thereby & portion or the wholo of the country or its sovereignty should bo transforred to the United; States them- sclyes.” Mr. Corwin was instructed to impress‘upon Moxico that *“the existing polikical organization in this country affords the surest guarauteo Mezico can have, that her integrity, union and independence will be rospocted by the whole peoplo of the American Union.” Iu the name of Mr. Lincoln he was also to say that Mexico aud the other American States “are entitled to & greater forboarance and more generous sympathy than they are likely to receive from any other quarter.” These solemn assurances, made not lightly, but when w6 as a nation were domanding—almost solicit- ing—the non-intervention we promised to observe, are recorded in the memory of men and on the page of history, and if ever as a uation we violate these promi- s6s, we will incur the infamy that belongs to violated faith, and our moral influence on internatioual neu- trality will fade, as it has faded from every Court in Europe. Qur pledges would seem to have been already bro- Kon by the intervention of Gou. Sheridan, in arresting Citega, which an artiC y e Pica- yune, quoted by The Journal of Commerce, intimates was done in pursuance of a plan adopted by the Gov- ornment at Washington, looking to an active inter- vention in the affuirs of Mexico in behalf of the pre- tensions of Juarez. Au intervention which, if sincere, “will ultimately assume the form of a protectorate,” “Wo have therefore,” adds the editor, arrived at what may be called “*a new era in our international rolations.” Shouid we, by imprisoning Ortega and his adher- ents, and supporting by our army the claims of Jua- roz, givo to his Government a temporary stability, Napoleon may retire, satisfied that the agreement of Juarez to pay his debt must be recognized by all suc- ceoding Governments, if not as entirely well ploased as ho was with Mr, Bigelow's volunteered suggestion that, as soon as his troops had gone, wo should recog- nize the Empire of Maximiliau. The Evening Post last evening, in noticing the re- tiroment of Mr. Bigelow, spoke of ‘“the final adjust- ment of the Mexican question as now having been accomplished.” Will both The Post and The Times allow us to ask if its adjustment by American inter- vention and an Américan proteotorste, however de- manded by apaculators or jobbers, wonld, in their opinion, accord with the faith, the interests and the honor of the American people ! WHITE OR BLACK!? Good Justice Sutherland, who rles in the Suprome Court, may or may not have a wart upon bis nose; and & wart on one's physiognomy may be eithor a well-spring of pleasuze or a blot of defilement, accord- ing as the wearer thereof is convivially or m: ously disposed, A molo ou an open countenance has been rogardod os proof of long-lost brotherbood of some kind or other; but we have never heard that wart or mola were Crowner's proof that the spotted person had committed a murder, and deserved to die in a ditch. temote contry districts have haen worked upon in- ternally By the baleful squint of the evil eye; swine and kine are said to have becn dispirited out of all flosh by the rolling sorcery of this terrible optic; but wo are not aware that the most * gloare-eyed” of v has yot been challengad at the polls. Judges have been known to grow red in the face, and talk objurgatively, but no one supposed that they were Indian AgCS. It is common for epicures, rum-dealers, bibbers of long-stand 1, yn, sprout, and turn all sort: of ¢ 'y or on emotional provo- sensitive pl unless ar- rested for ng up too much of the side-walk; and no one bas seen fit to question their right to the fran. chise when they have carried their baggage and colors victorionsly to the pe Men have turned blue in certain erises of fortu ties yellow; but the former were never accounted negroes, or the lat. tor mulattoes. All sorts of excrescences have grown on the haman frame; and flesh has been heir to many ills which are no part of the natural constitution; yet the man who has a tumor en his leg, or his nose out of joint, or an eye put out, or his face in & furnace of [trial, may travel to the polls, and, in very spite of his comfort and other men's, voto the Democratio ticket in onder to put down the Health law, A man without a sealp is now and then in great request among prairie politicians, and men without heads are always in demand on olection day to vote a bad ticket. There bas been no restriction of the franchise as regards that influential portion of our fellow-citizens having buld heads; the story of the forty bears and the Constitution have conserved for them alike the veneration of the young aud the middle-nged. Hair long and black may be taken as proof of Indian or Italian birth; hair crisp or curly may siguify aristocracy or vulgarity; red hair is said to have been worn by Queen Eliza- Dbeth, and Mary Queen of Scots bad & great deal of hair that may be said to bave been wavy; but veither hair, or no hair at all, ean be pightfully adjudicated as @ disqualification for the franchise. In short, the Luman form and countenance have gone through all varietios and shades of individusl temperament and emotion without eliminating its right to face the polls. If this were not the case, the Hon. John Morrissey, or any other man of psychological and physical power, might disfranchize a voter by putting him out of coun- tenance. We hold these truths to be as self-evident as that g}l men were created free and equal. Wo be- i1e7e that 1k Resiaratio Yu: founded on thom; aud we have gone to t o?mu o to statg them thus seri- ously at lefi ih, lest a good-natured Justice of the Su- M "Court should rashly undertake to deoide, on +personal ‘“'WfiOG" of another person’s hair, whether he s entitled to vots, 1.2 Subject of the Judicial eyo i & gentloman, denied registry vy, 0% he 18 alleged = ' *ha indis- to be a nogro, the only suspicion Whersot 18 w.. . tinet and somowhat elicato conception that he has \.r:&\'_\‘ far, X N -pfixfi and intelligent citizen is thus doomed, as other mon have been saved, by the bair of ks head; and a grave question now perplexes the heed of th Judgs, to the very roots of bis hair, # or nuisance or balloo and dy moment it is contradice®d by the still nnexplaived and most extraordinary act o Military interventjon— the imprisonment of Gen.

But what of thatt If the Judgo is resolved to decide on inspece tion, he may make bis vietim turn almost any color' And it is 50 much worse for the gentleman who, putting so white a face on the matter, audd- ciously contests his right to the ballot if he shows any sign of biliousness. The plaintiff 's counsel, Mr. Gil- bert, denies that a Board of Registry have the right to look in & man's face and decide that his complexion conyicts bim at o glance or two of—n."! murder at all nim to a dis- —but of the crime of Negro, and dooms b. e | (ranchisoment. from which Jail-birds are sonitimes permitted o escape. The quegtion now comes v, whether a buman being can be 8o convicted “ on in- #pection,” 0¥ only by & jury on argument. The in. quiry expands into ouo of races, of blood and of hair, in whick doctors and etbuologists may lose them- selves, and lawyers aud judges can only grope be- fogged. For the question is, in short, when does a colored man—no, we mean 8 white man-—cease to be & negro. In fine, it is pot whether a black man is black, but whether & white man is white, In the per- plexéd light and shadow of this awful question, good Justice Sutherland may well look a little cloudy, & colored public grow white one blush. WHEN DID THE REBELLION END? in the U, 8. District Court in the State of Delaware, a decision has been rendered by Judge Hall, releasing from imprisonment in Fort Delaware four persons, who had been arrested, tried and convicted by the military authoritles of the United States in South Carolius, in December, 1865, The prisoners had been foind goilty before & court-martial, of which Gen. Devens was Prosident, of having voluntarily aided in the assanlt made on the United States troops stationed At Brown's Ferry, 8. C., in October, 1865, Judge Hall ordered the discharge of the prisoners on & writ of haboas corpds, on the ground that the Mili- tary Commission was without jurisdiction in the case; declaring it s bis opinion, that the rebellion bad coased in April, 1865; and, inasmuch as the Presi- dent's proclamation, issued in June, appointing a Pro- visional Governor for South Carolina, ordered * the District Judge for the district in which that State is included, to proceed to hold courts,” the State was in the exercise of all its civil fanctions before the issuing of the order for the organization of the Commission by which the prisouers had been tried and condemned. The points of greatest interest in the decision of Judge Hall ars, that the Rebellion bad ceased and the autbor- ity of the United States was acknowledged in South Carolina in April, 1865; and that, after the appoint- ment of a Provisional Governor for any State, by the President, the military forces of the United States were without authority to arrest and try persons be- fore military commissions. The practice of the Gov- erument officers in all of the Southern States during the past year and a half, both under the Freodmeu's Burean bill and Gen. Grant's Order, are decidedly against the position taken by the Delaware Judge, It is not likely, therefore, that he will be sustained. i ——— THE FLOUR TRADE. That New-York millers make an article which they braud superfine, and sell in the market as euperfine flour, at half, or less than half, the price of good, fair, wholesome family flour, isa truth too notorious for denial. That sach misnamed superfine flour is put forth under a feigned name or brand, and does not Dear the name or braud of the miller or vender, is also true, Of what material is this spurious superfine flour made? Ask a miller or dealer this question, and he will tell you, if he tells you the truth, that it is made of unsonnd wheat, poor Spring wheat, or the refuse of the grindings of other wheat—of one or moro of these ingrediouts, or of allof them mingled together, Ask further what becomes of this counterfeit super fine flour, and the auswor is the notorious fact that it is sold to shipping merchauts and bakers—to the former for exportation, and to the latter for mixing with other flour, and thereby to reduce the average cost per barrel of their stock. What bakers are they who practice this dishonest policy, and permit their avarice to subvert their moral principles? Itisto be hoped that the great body of them are not chargeable with this offense; but many of them have been, and some of them still are, Wit. ness the flinty *hard tack,” so called, furnished to the brave soldiers who put down the late Rebellion; witness, also, many families who use bakers’ bread now. Bread has been often returned to bakers by their customers, some of which was made of materials unfit for human nse. If tho officers of the Board of Health bad, last Summer, scrutinized the flonr-stores aund bakeries of New-York as sharply as they did the ment-shops, they would have found large quantities of bad flour and some bread as unfit for human food as the tainted meat they seized and took from the butchers. Fevers of a typhoid, or weak, low, linger. ing charaoter, are said by some physicians to be, or tg have been, prevalent during the present Antumns, What effect bad bread, or bread made of unsound gratn, may have in indueing or aggravating such, or other diseases, the able physicians of the Sanitary De- partment are abundantly well qualified to judge. The malignant fever in Philadelphia in 1620 was, in a great degree, and with mueh plausibility, aseribed to vegetable decomposition The yellow fever in New- York of 1522 came almost immediately after the im- portation and grinding of the bad bag-wheat. What influence it may have had in producing or continuing that calamity, may never be known. Our Sanitary Board appear to be on the alert, and will unquestion- ably use due vigilance in the preservation of the pub- lie health, SOUTHERN PAPERS.

With the exception of the guberratorial chair, whose incumbent, Gov.

Now when the control of the State has again passed from their hands, they have come to the conelusion that the only way to restore the loyal element to powar is to enfranchise the colored population, who, in Arkan- 888 a8 elsewhere, are loyal to the Union. i The Unionists are aware that they cannot rely on* sid from the Executive ot Washington, They have consequently called a Tnion State Conventior, whigh 15 to moet at Fort Smith on the 13th of December, to, invoke the aid of Congress. The Convention will ps- tition Congress *for an Enabling Act, permitting the truly 1oyal people to form a Goverument in accord- ance with Justice, Freedom, and the inalienable righta of man.” The call is numerously signed by prominent Unione ists, chiefly of Western Arkansas. RISTORI'S BENEFIT. The best andience, both for character and number, that we have scen in’the French Theatre, was assembled to say farewell to Madame Ristori on the occasion of her last evening-performanes in this city before leaving for hd;’l:hll. Baltimore aud Washington, Ristori yed “ Medea,” and efterward gave the sloep- sccpe in * Macheth.” Respecting her « Medea,” we have nothing to add to what we said about that performance sfter seeing it for the first time. It is a part peculiatly suited to her powers,| and must rank as her third best persovation; Eliza beth being the first, and Mary Stuart the second.’ Thore are portions of ** Medea” which . are as full of wer and passion as anything Ristori does; and thers Eln wild and sumptuous magnificence about many of tures such as we haye never seen and never expect to sce approached by any other ao- tross. The tenderness of Lier parting with the childrem, is 8o deep and true that it is imposeible not to be moved b{,,": it is simple nature, uumnadnrlxz:d. rlm;lm.t a trace exaggeration _or sentimentality: true to human nature and to the character mn A passage, too, never to be forgotten, is that whero she describes to Crhf:n what she vll!ll g‘i! lhfllltlllu(! 'éhl: the object of her jealousy. Al panther in nl'\ll"::filll barbarian sorceress comes ont in its full bloodthirstiness; as she tears the imaginary viotim of ber fury limb from limb, her eyes burn like conly of fire, her cheeks grow livid, her lips eurl back from her teeth in a white horror, and she seoms to lap Creusa’s blood with delirious joy. But all this tumalt of passion, all this deep and tendec feeling, are exp: without once violatiug in the slighest degreo the beantiful modesty of nature. There is no ranting, no stage strut, no gasping nor faming; & fine restraint touches all the movement of the body, and every gesture, with its charm, and when rage aud jealousy, love and terror shake the soul of this wild woman with their fury, we are borne along unresisting and unconscious, swept by the aw- ful silence of the storm. Would that Ristori were always so_great; would that she never were to assume parts for which she is unsuited. In a cer- tain field she is great; but that field, though splendid, is limited, and she unnecessarily injures her fame when she steps beyond it. Madame Ristori was most warmly and enthusiasti- cally received last night. The audience for onee wers fairly waked up, and seemed to have a dim conscious- ness that they were seeing something memorable. It is profoundly to be regretted that Ristori is not better supported, especially by those characters who are brought into intimate relations with her part. Mr. Carboni is insufferable as a rule, but his *‘ Jason™ is intolerable, and not to bo endured. We must again praise the acting of the little Ly- caon; many of his elders might take a lesson from hiy natural and simple personation. ‘At tho conelusion of the performance, Madame Ris. tori was called before the curtain, and made the fol- lowing speech of thanks in Enfli-h: Lavies axp GESTLEMEN: Tt me sad to say adien to New-York, aud can you wonder!
