An oficial telegraphic despatch from France yesterday reached the United States inquiring whether our Government intend to levy an adiitional diserfminating ty of tea per’ 4 shipped Ht. Upon to thh yntry in French boltome, This despatch was of course forwarded to Washiigton, but it could not be an- Fwered because the Secretary of the T ury was absent from his post delivering stump es in behalf of President Gaane's rellection. We do not undertake to cstimate the Amount of loss And suieriug to commerce rowing out of the delay consequent upon apeee Mr, Bourwsit's neglect of his official duties, —o A solid candidate: Charles Dovohae for District Attornoy The Mayoralty—Lawrence Steadily Gaining. The clouds begin to lift from the field where the sharp contest for the Mayoralty is fought, enabling observers to form some opinions concerning the chances of the three combatants. Undoubtedly the pros- pects of Mr. Lawrence have brightened day by day k past, while those of Mr. Havemeyes and Mr. O'Brien havo grown correspondingly dim. Shrewd calculators think HAVEMEYER signed bis death warrant by proxy when he loft his name lying around so loose that the Secretary of the Council of Political Reform felt authorized to append it to the pernicious sectarian appeal which Tue Sun published on Tucsday. A large body of Germans, who left their native land because of their devotion to the cause of religious liberty, and who were drawn to the support of Havemeygr for the super- ficial reason that he bears the semblance of # Teutonic name, have taken fire at this appeal, aud abandoned Havemerrn for LAWRENCE. Besides these desertions from Have MBYER great numbers of Mr. O'BRiEN's supporters are going over to Lawnkencr. Many Democrats and some Republicans carly railed to O'Butex when they sup. poswd he was to win by mea the Grantites. But having become satls- fied that no great amount of help can now come from that quarter, they are search- ag for a more hopeful candidate. Utterly hostile to Havemeyer, they of course go to Lawrence, except here and there a Custom House manipulato: The heavier loss to O’ Bares is among Democrats who wish to rebuke Have- MBreR and his partisans for sending forth the appeal ubove mentioned. They are opposed to bringing religious questions into politics. They feel that an attempt to raise this issue against Havemeyer by rallying around O'Buiex would, for oby ous reasons, be subjecting themselves to the very class of objections they bring against Havemever. Hence they go over to LAWRENCE. It now looks as if these desertions from HAVEMEYER, and especially those from O'Brren, would turn the scale very heavily ju favor of Lawre: A solid candidate; Charles Dono tor District Attorney. Neither as Good as Might Be—But Leonard the Better of the Two. A political campaign fs the pleasantest when there is nothing to be said against an opposing candidate, and a good deal in favor of your o We regret that in ref- erence to the Tammany and Republican nominations for Judge of the Supreme Court this is not exactly the case, There isaltogether more than we could wish to be said aguinst the Republican nominee, and not near as much as we could desire to be said in favor of the Tammany candi- date. Every Judge of the Supreme Court ought to be learned on the subject of habeas cur- pus. Judge Leoxanrp, in some opinions which he has delivered, seems to suppose that that great Writ of Right is limited, controlled, restramed, aud hampered in this State by the Revised Statutes, It is dangerous to the liberties of the people for a Judge to entertain such erron views of this most important subject. One thing canuot be objected against Leoxarp which was pressed very bard against Barnanp. It was said that th interests of the railroad corporations were not safe in the hands of Bannanp, There isno doubt that they are, in the hands of Leonanp—especially the VANDERBILT in- terest, the heaviest of all, What with a son-in-law in the Courtof Appeals, and a former attorney on the Supreme bench, the VANDERWILTS Will have a representa- ous tion in the judiciary proportioned to their capital. As to Noan Davis, ifaman deliberating whether he would embark in an ark were to scrutinize his face, he would come to the conclusion that he was a very good kind of 0 NOAH to sail with, ‘There is suid to bea great deal in the association and influence of names, The Christian appellation of Mr. Davis must carry his thoughts habitually back to the Gays of the patriarchs; and this may be the reason why he leans toward pater- bal or patriarchal principles of govern- ment, a contradistinguished from the Aemocratic creed of personal Independence and the largest personal liberty, The course pursued by the Court of Im- Pesohment at Saratoga toward Mr, Davis WA @ Vory Ker erd roflestion upaN bin. He went there to disclose nud testify to a jocu lar conversation which Judge Barnanp had held with him in the Judge's private room, The Court was composed of friends of Mr. Davis, and, tn the main, of bitter theries of Judge BaRNanv; yet such a Fut violation of the social rule and sof aid from | honorable understanding prevailing among gentlemen in regard to ensual, baytering, private conversations could not be tolér- ated even by such a Court; and the Judges unanimously excluded the testimony, They also refused Mr, Davis an opportu nity to explat Tt will be Hocted that Mr. Davis, in # published letter, threatened to prosecute, criminally, partics who had given informa- tion of frauds in the Custom House, and who were specially exempted from Habil- ity Lo proscoution by sittute; thus show- ing that he was either ignorant or disre- gurdful of the law, Perhaps the gravest of all objections te Mr. Davis is his approbation and support of the illegal and tyrannical acts of Gom- missioner DAVENPORT. One thing Mr. Davis deserves credit for, When in Congresy he made an energetic and decided ape h against the income tax, consisting mainly of unacknowledged ox- tracts from the argument of a lawyer of this city, Which wes generally accepted throughout the country by statesmen, lnw- yors, and the press, as establishing tha unconstitutionality of that tax. Weruther think, from this, that tho Tlouse of Repre sentatives would be a very good place for Mr. Davis to render bimsclf useful. On the whole, we do not think it would be wise to place him on the bench, [t was very Injudicious in him to be a candidate; for it enables his enemies to say that he had o sinister motive iu his dishonorable attempt to disclose a private conversation with Judge Bannan, and that his pur- pose was to create @ vacancy on the bench to make room for himself, aud thus to give a darker hue to that ill-advised transuc- tion, It is tobe regretted that those who un- dertook the improvement and elevation of the bench with so much resoluteness and confidence do not present to the public at present the most fluttering prospects of success, They do not seem to have a superabundance of the best material to make Judges of. We supposed that when they convicted and removed a Judge for his jests and his jokes, aud established the principle that only the witless could sit safely on the bench, they had it in contem- plation to bring forward some prominent actors in the Bar Association as candi- dates, In fact, the association has one really good man—Josmru H. Cnoate. But then he would be impeached for his humor and fun, We vannot have all of the Judges just such as would be most desirable, and all there is left to do is to make the best selec- tlon from among the candidates. And, trusting that Judge Leonarp will buy a copy of Cursrerrretp, and also read up on the law of Habeas Corpus, we see noth- ing better to do than to vote for him, tte st enon A solid candidate Charles Donohae for District Attorney. —— shall Civil and Religious Liberty be Preserved?

Havemryenand Mr, HoorenC, Van Vonst among its members, have sent a circular to the Methodist clergy of New York city calling upon them to interfere in the election of next Tuesday by preach- ing on Sunday upon the following among other topics: “A special reason exists for this Interference In the present aspect of the political situation In that seciartin werues have been wickedly thru into the present gubernatorial contest, threatening our aa of popular education and the tradi. tional independence of our public policy from any soctarian bias of coinplication.. {nthe desperas tion of party extremity, the denominational pro- 1 ices of the ignorant masses are appealed to lor party It ts the obvious duty, we think, ij pat responsible for general in- telligence and our religious liberties to sum- mon thelr friends to their defence. ‘the justloe of our is not asuficient security against the combinations of its enemies, These must be met by an organized defence. To this circular the following names were attached as its authors and signers, though several of them have since said that they had not authorized it: W. P. Haveweyen, ©. 8.

Burns, Secretary ex opiclo Thongh no names specified Lor proscrip- tion in this circular, it is well understood, aud is not denied, that it means Francis Kernan, the candidate for Governor put in nomination by the Democrats and Liberal Republicans, The reason for this attempt to proseribe Mr. Kernan is that he does not share the religious views of Messrs, Bexns, Have- meyER, VAN Vorst, Wermonr, JACKSON, aud the rest. That is the whole of it, Against the man himself nothing can be said, Ho is known to be a good citizen, and compe’ ent for the duties of the office. He is able beyond the measure of men in gen- eral; he is upright, no stain of dishonesty, political, pecuniary, or social, ever having mn cast upon his name, He iv likewise a jan of firmuess and courage; so that his qualifications for any office to which the people may wish to elect him are complete und unquegtionable, But he has not shaped his theological opinions to cult these gentlemen, and they propose to make his religion @ reason for voting against him; and they invite the Method- ist ministers to aid in their crusade by preaching! One of the falsehoods of this clroular is the intimation that Mr, Keenan's clection would threaten our plan of popular educa- tion, The truth is that he has been all his life a conspicuous advocate of the common school system, He has been for years an ptioor of that eyotem in Oneida county, where he resides. His children have been educated in the public schools, and there ls no man more identified than he with their prosperity, their improvement, and the attachment of the people to ther, Another faleehood of the same nature is the assertion of this manifesto that Mr. Kenvan's election threatens “the tradi- ffonal independence of our public policy from any sectarian bias or complication. This ## notoriously untrue, Mr. Kernan was a member of the Convention held in 1867 to frame a new Co stitution for the State of New York, and in that Convention he contended for the adoption of a clause forbidding the appropriation of publie money to any sec tarian institution, or to any sehool or char- ity belonging exclusively to any special chureh or any sectarian association. The are facts known to all who know anything about public affairs or public men. But what do these gentlemen aim at? Do they desire to revive again in our coum- old war between members of dif- ferent churehes and communtons, and to convert our elections from peaceful strug- 8 for the prevalence of opposing politi- principles and fdeas into fleree and bloody battles for the predominance of this or that form of religion? Would they array the Presbyterians and Methodists And Catholics and Unitarians and Buptists in arms against each other? Are they so much wiser than our forefathers wire made the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of New York that they pro- pose to repudiate that beautiful rule of tol- eranee, equality, charity, and peace, which is proclaimed and consecrated in those in- struments? And by what right do they ‘ume to proscribe any tudividual or any number of citizens for differences of re ligious belief, and to say that men, intell gent, conscientious, faithful to public and private duty, shall no longer enjoy the equal rights and privileges which the C stitution guarnntees, because they will not adopt just such a religion as they may dic- tate? It will be a sad and fatal day for this country if the views of this circular should ever prevail, and the barriers and guaran- tees of the Constitution be obliterated and destroyed. a — A solid candidate for Dist A Parallel, | Gen.

We pre- sume he will not accept the compliment, Tu 1866 he was run for President in earnest in the better days of the Republican party, when it was full of enthusiasm for noble purposes, and had not yet been stained by any of the corruption of ite later years. What a glorious and memorable campaign it was! It was the first real beginning of that warfare against slavery which culmi- nated in the downfall and removal of the justitution.
