MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. From the Anglo-American Times.) PARIS, Nov. 28. You may break, you may ruin the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still. The roll of the artillery has been heard in Paris, but it has been a peaceful roll, being no less than the rolling away, en route for Cherbourg, of the gigantic cannon founded at Ruelle, and weighing no less than 38,000 kilogrammes, or nearly 80,000 lbs. By the way, all purchasers at the Expositiou who have not yet done so are requested to remove their purchases with the least possible delay. I went down the other day to look at what was the Expo sition, but I must leave the roader to imagine the change which had taken place. De mortuis nil nisi &num. I have as yet heard nothing as to whether or not our report has as yet been presented to Con gress; but, as I have said before, I feel certain that it will be a satisfactory one, and afford sufficient in ducement to Americans to enable them to eclipse all the world on the occasion of the next Exhibi tion, the more especially if such Exhibition is to take place in America. I have already expressed my opinion, not lightly formed, that America comes well out of a comparative examination in the pre sent instance, but as every theorem requires demon stration, and every hypothesis proof, I will just venture to glance at Group No. 1 in my present letter, viz., the Fine Arts. It is, of course, well understood that the contributions of American artists are not so numerous in proportion when com pared with those of other nations, but much is not required as a test of quality. As regards paintings, the subjects exhibited may be divided into land scapes, portraits, general subjects, and a supple mentary class, which may be considered as a com pound of the two latter. I am of opinion that landscapes predominate ; but what landscapes, paintings, which have created for America a special school of art, possessing a glorious natural beauty nowhere else to be found, and offering in the soli tudes of nature an inspiration to au artist of genius that the teaching of no master could equal. It is a matter of doubt with many persons whether the palm in this class of painting should be awarded to Church or Bierstadt, though be it understood that there are many other landscapes exhibited in noways me judice inferior to those exhibited by the two former. The subject chosen by Bierstadt is a scene in the Rocky Mountains, the groundwork being a rich meadow prairie, the mountains at the back, a torrent pouring down through a cleft into the lake. In the meadow is encamped a tribe of Indians engaged in their various occupations of hunting, cooking, &c., a gleam of sunlight being reflected with especially beautiful effect upon a re mote group posted near a glade of trees on the borders of the meadow. It is difficult to believe that for beauty of colouring, fidelity to nature, and exquisite arrangement. of light and shade, the picture exhibited by Mr. Bierstadt can possibly be surpassed. Almost the same thing, however, may be said in behalf of Church, who exhibited two pictures—" The Rainy Season in the Tropics" and " Niagara." The former depicts a ravine in the heart of the mountains, a number of whose conical peaks form the right-hand side of the picture. Through the midst of the ravine flows a mountain torrent, on the left side of which, over a rug ged path cut in the scarped rock, bordered with stunted tree-boughs, are climbing a muleteer and his team. A thin gauze-like mist shows the com mencement of the rainy season, in which a rainbow is exquisitely reflected, the varied tints of the picture being clearly lit up beneath the veil of silver gauze, which appears, as it were, to cover it. " The Niagara" is a most elaborate representation of the Falls, with a portion of the shore showing at a reflex angle. It is sufficient to remark, first, that it has been con sidered by connoisseurs as about the most perfect and faithful delineation of water known. Among the artists of the highest order in this class, I must not, however, forget to place Mr. 11. Beard of New York, who exhibits what he denominates the " Bear's Dance." The subject is, of course, an American landscape, the bears being introduced simply as pieces d'appui. In the arrangement of light and shade the scene chosen is fixed in a glade in the very heart of a forest, the natural openings in which afford space for the very original fete ima gined by Mr. Beard. The scene, as I have said, is sup posed to be a Bear's Fete, and long strings of bears —black, white, brown, and particoloured--are danc ing in long strings upon the green turf to the music of two bands, whilst numberless others are lying, sit ting, or rolling about in various attitudes and posi tions, not forgetting those who are at the table of a rustic restaurant, well furnished with wine, fruit, flowers, &c., or those who are under the aforesaid table. A small basket of flowers and fruit, lying as it were by accident upon the emerald turf, has been most carefully elaborated ; the whole picture, in fact, possessing a weird-like attraction, which adds in no ordinary degree to its beauties of execu tion. 1.. R. Mignot, of New York, exhibits a land scape well qualified to bear competition with any in the Exhibition, in the Sources of the Susquehanna. As may readily be imagined, the sources of the Susquehanna must present features of no ordinary beauty. The quiet source or lake is encircled by a border of primeval-looking rocks covered with brushwood, &c., all of which have been most elaborately depicted, whilst the rich gold and purple tints of our autumnal sunset are replaced is dif ferent parts of the tranquil waters with surpassing beauty and effect. I might cite several other land scapes, but will stop my criticism on Group No. 1 for the present, and until the next week, as I must not allow them to monopolise the whole of my letter. The evacuation of Rome by the French troops, in accordance with the promise given by the Emperor, has been commenced, and has given universal satisfaction. Garibaldi sailed from Spezzia f:)r Caprera on the 26th, on board the Esploratore. The Presse of Vienna states that France and Austria have succeeded in evercom- ing the objections of Prussia and Russia in regard to joining the Conference ; the great , st existing drawback is supposed to be the difficulty of inducing Italy and the Papal States to enter upon the subject with a sufficiently good mutual under- standing. One meets with ingratitude under so many shapes and forms, that one can hardly fancy the possibility taking any novel appearance. The absurdity, however, of such an hypothesis was very clearly demonstrated last week at the French police court in the case of a farmer summoned by his do mestic for the illegal deduction of 3fr. from the amount of wages due to him at the period of his dis charge. Some little time ago a quarrel had taken place between the farmer and his servant, which had ended in the latter's discharge. On receiving the balance due for wages, he perceived a reduction of 3fr. On inquiring, he was informed that it was in consequence of spoiling a new stirrup leather by cutting it. As the domestic did not feel the justice of this deduction, the case was brought before the police, when it appeared that some time ago the farmer, labouring under a fit of despondency, had attempted to destroy him self by hanging in a hay loft. The servant hap pening to come in just in the nick of time, suc ceeded, at considerable personal risk, in cutting him down. The reader will scarcely believe that the stirrup leather in question was the instrument by which the farmer had attempted his life, and for the spoiling of which by cutting him down he had deducted three francs from his servant's account. It is needless to add that the f armer was ordered to rerund the money, after which he was ecorted to his residence by an admiring crowd, who were curious to observe an instance of such affecting gratitude. " Truly it was a pity I have spoiled that stirrup leather." The receptions at the Tuileries will commence, it appears, earlier than usual. The first Grand Wie ter Ball will take place, it is said, on the 23.1 of December. I learn that W. J. Edwards Hauer, the American pianist, whose playing at the Expo sition was so universally admired, will probably, in compliance with numerous solicitations, give a con wt,:t- ci.r tt !our •. rnoto!_ .en, the appreach;ng 3 (iveDt The wild birds arc app)arii;:;; hoary Jecer earlier than usual, and last, not least, brilliant tar tans and winter Cheviots are beginning to ap' dear. Ex-Secretary Stanton is at Washingto n, en deavouring to move Congress to restore hi - Di to his old place, but it is now said that General M'Clel lan is the man. It is a fact that General Grant's economic administration has injuriously affected Mr. Stanton's interests, as the immense retrench ments accomplished by the General are taken as proof of Stanton's extravagance. It is not likely that Congress will move in his favour. Although General Sherman is expected at Washington, it is denied that he is about to take command of the military district, his business at the seat of Government being solely connected with Indian affairs. Secretary Welles is seriously ill, indeed so seriously that little hopes are entertained of his reco very. Secretary M'Culloch had tendered but with drew his resignation at the request of the President. secretary Se ward is busy with his territorial acquisitions, the cession of St. Thomas being now the most important matter. It is rumoured at Washington that Mr. Thornton was selected by the British Government as Minister, from his knowledge of the West Indies, which will enable him to watch and counteract the tendencies of the United States Government to establish itself strongly there. The Wall-street Journal, alluding to the Great Republic Gold and Silver Mining Company, whose mortgage bonds for £lOO,OOO sterling at 7 per cent. were offered in the London market at a discount of 40 per cent., observes, that the company do not state where their property is, or of what it consists. In this our contemporary is mistaken, as a map of the country accompanied the prospectus, and the locality was very distinctly marked. It is situated in the Manhattan district, in the Smoky Valley, about 70 miles south of Austin, Nevada. What the value is of these lodes is another question, but that the district is one of the richest in the world is be yond dispute. The mines offered in the London market, situated in the Pacific States and territo ries, should attract attention in those territories, as the inhabitants are most deeply interested that no spurious claims should be imposed on the British public. One or two swindlers might benefit, but it would be at the indirect expense of the inhabitants of those States. I.Ve hope soon to receive Commis sioner Ross Brown's report, which, if possible, we will publish. These mines will prove a fund of wealth for judicious investors on this side, and it is for every one's interest that any attempt at impo sition should be exposed and denounced. The Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has arrived in Wash ington, having left Lancaster in a" special car" on the morning of the 13th inst. He appears to be in much better health and in good spirits, which is saying a great deal, considering the reception his last letter has met with. A Chicago correspondent writes :--" The last letter of Thad. Stevens—that upon the currency—has created much surprise. The opinion is quite prevalent that he had better make haste and die, and thus save his reputation. No man can stand and advocate repudiation. The American people have too much honour to permit their Government to violate its solemn obligations." A newspaper in Washington, it is stated, has an obituary notice of the hon. gentleman in type, suffi cient to fill several columns. Thaddeus Stevens might have played the same trick attributed, if our memory serves us, to Lord Brougham, who, anxious to anticipate the post-mortem verdict of the Press, allowed his death to be announced, and quietly read the obituary notices, which must, indeed, in the case of great old men, often be in type all ready, or they could not appear so promptly as they do iu the dailies. The tax on cotton is at present engrossing atten tion in the United States. From all the Southern States come news that the planters, heartily sick of the heavy losses they have sustained by the staple, have turned their attention to wheat. The trial has shown that corn has proved in the South a remunerative crop. A large area, hitherto devoted almost exclusively to cotton, is now being prepared for grain. The subject will be fully discussed in the present Congress, and a large reduction advo cated on the tax not only on raw but on cotton and woollen fabrics. The Hon. David Wells recommends the repeal of the Cotton Tax, if accom panied by a corresponding reduction in the tariff rates on the manufactured articles. Nothing can have such effect on the price of cotton in Liverpool as a reduced production. If that price, instead of being remumerative, leaves the producers losers, it will quickly correct itself. The facts now trans. pining furnish a strange commentary on Thaddeus Stevens's theories. A newspaper announced some time since, under the title of the United States of Europe, has been published at Berne, under the direction of M. Jolissaint, member of the Government Council of that city. It is the organ of the Swiss " League of Peace and Liberty," under whose auspices the late Peace Congress met. The publication has for its object the pacific solution of all politiCal, econo mical, and religious questions by means of a free interchange of opinions, and the establishment of a Republican Federation iu Europe. The rival league, founded at Paris last summer with a similar object, under the title of "the Parisian League of Peace," has also a representative in the press, called the Peace of the rVorld. It is published at Geneva, and edited by M. Pascal Robert. On the Pacific side of America, where it is diffi cult to recognise anything English through the haze of a vast distance, the Irish have picked up an enemy on whom to vent their spleen. They must have something to kick at—whether it be the pricks of British power, or the shins of the Chinese. In Europe they have selected the greatest nation of whom to make an example, and following the tra- ditions to which they are so attached, the inomen they lave their feet in an ocean which does hot wash the shores of the tyrant country, they select the greatest of the countries it does lave, on which to wage war. In San Francisco they rob, beat, aye, and even murder the Chinese, almost with impunity. Their avowed object is to drive these useful labourers back to Asia. The alliance of the Irish with the Democrats enabled that party to carry the State, and their allies demand, as the price of their assistance, the control of the police, by whom they have hitherto been in a measure re strained. If they succeed in this they will either generate a servile war, to the frightful injury of the State, or injure it in scarcely a lesser degree, by barring it to that industrious and intelligent race whose labour guided by American skill would in the natural course of things quickly elevate California into an unequalled material prosperity. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, following a system daily growing into fashion, has published a conversation with the Hon. Ben Wade. He describes old Ben " as large as life, and twice as natural ; head and tail erect, as full of snorting defiance as if he had won instead of lost." The correspondent was informed by the "old horse" that he "would not back a d—d inch" from the position on universal suffrage to which tho Republican party was committed. " lle had not made up his mind exactly whether he ought to vote for Mr. Sumner's Suffrage Bill or not ;" that " if it had not been for that infernal thing of office-getting the Impeachment would have been settled last winter, as it ought to have been, " that Mrs. Lincoln's story that Mr. Lincoln left little or no property behind him was a d—d lie, and that Thaddeus Stevens's Confiscation Bill was d—d foolery." It will be seen that these profound remarks were uttered in choice language, and doubtless Ben Wade swill owe an in populari;y to his friend the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial. We would suggest to Senator Wade a supplement to the little project to which he alluded in his Kansas speech. After an equal redistribution of the property of the States, and when all are fairly started, that those who most quickly reach the goal of ruin should be nominated to office as they arrive in the race. If old Ben were there to receive them and pro claimed the winning candidates as they came in, the nation would have no further trouble, the competi tors showing their qualifications in this expeditious and natural manner.

The Philadelphia correspondent of the Times says —"The President evidently fears that he may have some trouble with Congress, for he is reported to be quietly increasing the military force in and near Washington, and he continues, with Grant's ap proval, the disarming of the negro military organi sations there, that the Radicals can control. It is quite probable that in his present mood he will not send any Message to Congress at its November Session, but will delay his Message until the regular Session begins, on the first Monday in December." The coloured Militia companies in Washington amount, we believe, to about 300 ill-armed men. Their commanding officer has replied to an order from Mr. Johnson by sending in a report on the object of the organisation, and no further steps have as yet been taken by the President The 7 ivies correspondent has exaggerated the position. He seems to consider that " Stevens, Wade, Butler, Sumner, Chandler, Boutwell, Ashley, Schenck, Colfax, and several others, in late speeches, have been even more Radical in tone than during the last session, and they are determined to push extreme measures at all hazards. The elec tions have rendered them desperate, and they de mand impeachment, confiscation, and negro suffrage with furious zeal." The whole question hinges on the tone of the Legislature. These leaders derived their strength when the war raged from the fact that they were honest, earnest, and, above all, courageous men. But they are extremists, and the people have emphatically declared their intention that the Government shall act with moderation, a hint not likely to be lost on Congress. Thaddeus Stevens is nobody without his tail, and where is Thad's tail? The approaching struggle for the mayorship of New York is between J. T. Hoffmann, the present mayor, and Fernando Wood. The former is sup ported by the Tammany Democracy, the latter by the Mozart Democracy. Fernando Wood has issued an address, in which he says that the people " must take him as he is." His previous record is known, and "if the old charges are brought up against his character, he will not attempt to refute them, only telling his accusers they have not found out half." It is thought he will be elected if the pre sent mayor does not receive the Republican support. The news from China is to the 15th October. The heavy typhoon which passed over Hong Kong on the Ist Oct. did more damage on shore than in harbour, the casualties among the shipping not being numerous. The Great Republic, from San Fran cisco, arrived on Oct. 5 with 600 returned China men in the steerage. The United States squadron sailed for Formosa to co-operate with Chine troops under General Legendre, American Consul at Amoy, to punish the savages who massacred the crew of the Rover. Manilla seems to have been heavily visited. Two earthquakes occurred on Oct. 4, and fearful inundations are reported to have drowned more than 10.000 Indians. The mining interests of the Pacific States are now attracting so much attention iu Europe that we transfer to our columns a very interesting summary of their progress in commerce and finance from the Commercial Herald and Market Review. News from Lisbon last Tuesday tells us that a contract has been signed between the Portuguese Government and Mr. Rose, civil engineer, for a telegraphic cable from Lisbon to Gibraltar. reported in favour of impeachment. Stranger things have happened than such a revulsion of feeling as would re-seat ANDREW JOHNSON for another term ; and, if it bo possible to effect such a change, the course indicated by this proceeding of the Judiciary Committee would be the best calculated to effect it. But the battle will be fought on the main issue of Negro Equality and Universal Negro Suffrage. It is in this fact that the true strength of the Democratic party lies, for it is more negative than affirmative in principle, contesting those of the Republican but enunciating none of its own. The Republicans are committed to Negro Suffrage, while the tide of public feeling runs daily stronger against it. Thus it is not likely that any reflux can occur before the coming Presi dential election, but the reverse. It is now generally conceded that the ballot must not be regarded as a mere natural right, being a means of governing others, and that no one has a personal right to this until acquired by training and character, as well as by the years the law supposes to give discretion. The ex traordinary spectacle of whole States of the South being in the hands of blacks, whose loosened fetters are as yet still lying at their feet, has sunk deeply into the Northern mind, for not only do the votes of the enfranchised slaves affect their former masters, but they may affect and perhaps neutralise a Northern majority. Thus it is brought home to them ; and they see the value of TII A.D. STEVENS'S exclamation, " that the man who denies the right of suffrage to any being to whom GOD has given immortality must be an impudent citizen, and ought never to profess to believe in the existence of a DEITY." Carrying such a view to its legitimate conclusion, he must enfranchise women, idiots, and criminals, as well as emancipated slaves. The Northern people have, however, taken up an opposite view, and it is around the standard of suffrage that the unflinching leaders of the Radical party will rally and die. A liberal construction of the Reconstruction Acts is recommended as the best policy for the Southern Conventions, embodying universal am nesty and universal suffrage, so that nobody be disfranchised. It is an outrage on Northern opinion to deprive the Southern whites of the privilege to which they were born of voting for their rulers, even on the plea of rebellion, while conferring it on those who now justly term themselves the freedmen. If these Conventions do not take the hint it will be the worse for them, and they will become the authors of the ruin of the extreme party to whom they owepower. The New York Evening Post, the Albany Evening Journal, the Springfield Republican, the New York Nation, and other leading Republican organs, unite in urging on these Conventions the most liberal ideas on which to base the new constitutions, and should they neglect the warning of their best friends, they will hereafter meet with as little mercy as they would thus show the inclination to bestow. It is clear that the split between the sections of the Republican party is so widening that Radical and Republican will soon signify opposing principles. Whatever may be the result, the Republican party will not endorse the Radical programme, and when the debates in Congress reach this country it will be seen that, however furious the zeal of extremists, the tone of the Legislature is strongly in favour of moderate measures.—Anglo-American Times. the sanction of the United States, but in direct opposition to its wishes. Had Maximilian really understood the position he would have proceeded from Miramar to Washington, and abandoned the vain attempt, if he there found it impossible to re concile the United States to an Empire in Mexico. What lent point to the resolve at Washington that his government should cease to exist was the fact that it had been established in defiance of the United States at a period when the national existence was in jeopardy. It was a terrible blunder, for which Maximilian paid with his life; and Americans have not only forgiven him, but per haps in few other countries has he found more ardent admirers and more generous sympathisers. As Admiral Tegethoff has telegraphed to Vienna that he left Mexico on the 18th inst. with the body of the Emperor, the last relic of Maximilian has been removed from that soil, save the blood shed at Queretaro, which centuries hence will be renowned as the spot where the tragedy was enacted.—Anglo- American Times. THE LATE ELECTIONS. In the leader of the Times on Wednesday on the late elections in the United States we notice a blunder, as illustrating the carelessness with which the articles on America are often written. " New York and New Jersey have entirely gone over to the Democrats, carrying with them 59 electors, sufficient to turn the scale, supposing the two parties had been at all equal in strength before." Fifty nine electors ? What can the Times mean ? New York figures for 33, New Jersey 7—total, 40. Puzzled, we turned back to the correspondent's letter, evidently the figures on which the Times worked. There they were accurately given. What then suggested 59 to the writer ? but here the enigma was solved by Pennsylvania being quoted next to New Jersey, and as that State is next in strength to New York ; the former being 33, the other 26, which suiting the writer better than 7, he transferred them, and so obtained 59. In the same article Mr. TIIADDEUS STEVENS is said to be in favour of paying the interest on 5-20 Bonds in currency instead of is gold. The foundation for this is known to all who waded through THADDEUS STE VENS'S letter. If the writer of that article did, then he has simply falsified a document which is suffi ciently plain whatever may be its faults. As the correspondent's statement is not accurate, the article grounded on it cannot be correct. The Republican defeats have resulted more from the members of that party declining to vote, than from the gains secured by the Democrats. Last year about 60,000 Democrats absented themselves from the polls, who this year cast their votes in favour of their party. And on this oc asion 160,000 Republicans refrained from voting, who last year swelled the Radical majority. The real gain to the Democrats by deserters from the Re publican side, did not exceed 50,000. As the cor respondent explains, " the PRESIDENT is chosen by a majority of the electoral votes, and each State is entitled to as many electors as it has Senators and Representatives in Congress, while in each State the electors are chosen, not by separate districts, as the members of Congress are, but each voter votes for all the electors, so that the majority party secures the whole number." Now, if these electors had been chosen at the recent elections, the result would have been as fol- lows : " REPUBLICAN.—IIIinois, 16 ; Indiana, 13 ; lowa, 8 ; Kansas, 3 ; Maine, 7 ; Massachusetts, 12 ; Michi gan, 8 ; Minnesota, 4 ; Missouri, 11 ; New Hamp shire, 5 ; Ohio, 21; Rhole Island, 4 ; Tennessee, 10 ; Vermont, 5 ; West Virginia, 5 ; Wisconsin, 8 ; Nebraska, 3 ; making a total of 143. " DEMOCRATIC.— -California, 5 ; Connecticut, 6 ; Delaware, 3 ; Kentucky, 11 ; Maryland, 7 ; New Jersey, 7 ; New York, 33 ; Pennsylvania, 26; Ore gon, 3 ; Nevada, 3 ; making a total of 104." Should the States stand as they do now, this would be the result. But it is not impossible that the Southern States may be admitted in time to cast their influence into the opposing scales. Judging by the late elections, the result, according to the Nation, our authority in this matter, would be as follows : " REPUBLICAN. Alabama, 8 ; Florida, 3 ; Louisiana, 7 ; Mississippi, 7 ; South Carolina, 6 ; total, 31. DEMOCRATIC.—Arkansas, 5; Georgia, 9; North Carolina, 9 ; Texas, 6-; Virginia, 10 ; total, 39." Presuming that there be no change in the law of suffrage, the result in Georgia and Virginia, if all the inhabitants were polled, would be doubtful. The parties are becoming so evenly balanced that suc cess may depend on the personal popularity of the can didate each selects for the Presidency. Supposing General GRANT declines the nomination, the struggle will then in its uncertainty become highly interest ing. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Com mercial lately reported Senator WADE as saying— " I tried to see who the devil he was for ; but as quick as I talked politics he'd talk horses ; and he could talk for hours on that without getting tired. Horses are very good ; but in these times a man may be all right on horses, but all wrong on politics." GRANT has steadily managed to " talk horse" to all who have attempted to pump him on politics. The 1V e w fork Tinses reports him to have said :—" The office must seek him. lie cer tainly will never seek it. As between his present position with its duties, honours, and prestige, added to the opportunities it affords him for the en joyment of the society of his family, and that of the Presidency with its responsibilities, labours, and deprivation.: of social and family enjoyment, he infinitely prefers the former." We have all along thought it doubtful whether GRANT would stand. And if he steps off the course then will come the tug of war—CHASE versus HORATIO SEYMOUR, SHERI DAN Versus I\I'CLELLAN, BUTLER versus PENDLE TON ; with such names as those of CHAS. FRANCIS ADAMS, Goheral SHERMAN, ;mil molera.te, sound Inca of that elas., not one of whom, we fear, I had a chance. The Judiciary Committee have KANSAS, ON UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. The vote of Kansas against equal suffrage has been an " eye-opener" for the Republican party. It was the most distinct and emphatic condemnation of the principle advocated by the party, of admitting coloured citizens, without education, to the Suffrage. It is interesting to analyse this expression of opi nion. Of all States Kansas has suffered most in the cause of emancipation. It was founded by free soilers—the advanced guard of the New England settlers, who for six years bore the brunt of that sanguinary strife which so shocked the world and was a prelude to the great American War, earning for the State the mourning epithet of " Bleeding Kansas." The free soilers conquered, carrying their territory into the Union, as a free State, January 29, 1861. Since that eventful period Kansas has been earnest in its support of the Northern cause, steadily advocating every liberal measure connected with the race on whose behalf the early settlers had suffered so much. Nowhere else are the coloured people better treated ; in no other State have they been so hospitably wel comed. ,Thousands of negroes are settled on the soil, where they have been received with such conspicuous kindness and sympathy that it is an object of ambition to the race to secure a place in a State offering them such advantages. Schools and churches have been established for their welfare, and the leaders who most influence the destinies of Kansas, see around them on all sides the spots associated in their memory with the fierce conflicts of those days when they upheld with bowie-knife and revolver the right of all men to be free. Three side-issues came before the people ; the first was Woman Suffrage; the second, Negro Suffrage ; and the third, the Disfranchise ment of rebels. Each was separately submitted, that the people might express their opinion on each point unbiassed by the other, and beyond the power of any to reason away the result secured. Two Senators and one Representative in Congress had proceeded through the State to support the equal suffrage theory. The Republican party was committed to it, and the mass of the people were Republicans. The newspapers of that party earnestly advocated it, and all its conventions and caucases had resolved in favour of it. So little had the people given expression to their opinions that the leaders were confident of carrying the measure by an overwhelming majority, and they went to the polls to receive a lesson which they are not likely soon to forget. From 21 counties in Kansas, official majorities have been reported, to which may be added the ascertained majorities of six others, the most populous iu the State. For, negro suffrage 4,995 persons voted ; against it, 13,563. For female suffrage, 5,043 voted ; against it, 13,498. For the disfranchisement of disloyal persons, 9,253 voted ; against it, 8,603. In estimating the value of this decisive verdict, we must net overlook the relations we have described as existing between whites and blacks in Kansas. It was no tide of opinion against the Republican party, for the representative districts have, we believe, returned 60 Republicans against 25 Democrats ; and the Senate will, it is supposed, contain 20 Republicans against five Democrats. The argument of the people of Kansas appears to have been this :—Of all citizens of the United States we are the best placed to judge of the fit ness of our coloured neighl. ours to exercise the franchise. No doubt we could influence their votes, just as we could those of our children, if the franchise were extended to them. But the object of the privilege would be defea si ted if the recipient is incapable of judging for himself at least to some degree. Now, the negroes are docile, happy, and comfortable ; will suffrage—which at present they are as unfit to exercise as our children—add to their happiness? or, may it not introduce an element of future strife? Kansas has, in truth, delivered the distinct opinion of that section of the American people best able to judge, that negrocs, as yet, are not fitted for the franchise, and, whether consistent or inconsistent with Republican theories, 'it is not expedient to confer votes on unqualified men. Regarding the second issue, we believe it resulted mainly from the indifference of women to the privilege, those who rule, as the ladies do in Kansas, being well able to despise such baubles as ballots. SUSAN B. ANTHONY, LUCY STONE, and ELIZABETH CADY STANTON having failed in Kansas, are proceed ing on a grand tour in behalf of the cause. Their times and places are announced as fol lows :--Buffalo, New York, November 30th ; Ro chester, December 2d ; Syracuse, 3d ; Albany, 4th ; Springfield, 6th ; Worcester, 7th ; Boston, 9th ; Hartford, 10th ; Philadelphia, 1 lth; and New York, 14th. In Kansas they received a fair hear ing, and there can be little doubt that had they been able to enlist the sympathies of their sex the result would have been different., for no one denies that women can do almost anything they like in the States of the Far West, if they address themselves earnestly to the task. It is not, however, woman suffrage that we are here considering, but the im portant principle whether the franchise is a natural right.

MAXIMILIAN IN MEXICO. " The Court of Mexico" is an account of the early days of Maximilian in that country by the Countess Paula Kollonitz, one of Charlotte's ladies in-waiting. The book has been translated by T. E. Olivant, and is published by Saunders, Ottley, and Co. The countess accompanied the Empress to Vera Cruz, where their places ought to have been supplied by Mexican ladies; but as none were forth coming the Austrians remained. The " Kaiser Max" appears to have had sad forebodings as he bade farewell to Miramar. On receiving an address from the citizens of Trieste he burst into tears, and he was much affected, when Le left forever his na tive land, at the demonstrations of affection shown by the people. Throughout his subsequent career he never lost this feeling of impending evil, which more or less marred every enjoyment. The Em press, on the contrary, looked most hopefully to the future. She knew nothing of the character of the people she had undertaken to rule, and probably with womanly vanity she was captivated with the dig nity of her new title. Both threw themselves with extraordinary earnestness into their task, studying maps and reading books to gain as intimate a know ledge as they could of the country. Both were animated by pure motives, and both regarded the acceptance of the throne as a solemn contract on their part to fulfil at all perils what they held to be the duties of royalty. Maximilian's career in Mexico is the tragedy of the centary which speaks most powerfully to human sympathies. There is no ab stract reason why the execution of a monarch should excite more sympathy than that of one of his sub jects. But the world steadily holds to a different idea, and sympathy is accorded very much in proportion to the rank of the victim. A thou sand soldiers fall in the very van of the battle unnamed, but the last moments of the General are everywhere rec)rded— his statue adorns the public places—and his story is told for the emulation of the young. Even in a Republican country this is the case. What acts of heroism, what se''f-sacrifice, are buried in oblivion, that carried the war of the Union to its successful close ! But one man's name is immortal, his portrait hangs on every wall, his story will continue to be told in every American home, and with Lincoln is coupled the name of martyr, though his death was as unex pected as unsought. To aid our sympathies in Maximilian's tragic story, we have a people putting to death a ruler who had sacrificed the last years of his life in his endeavour to elevate them. About Maximilian's motives there is no question. He was a just and conscientious man, and would, had the Mexicans allowed him, have established a beneficent rule in their country. On landing at Vera Cruz the countess was unfavourably impressed by the reception of the royal party. Not the slightest notice was taken as the steamer cast anchor, and they were coldly received on landing. As they proceeded inland, however, their reception was more cordial, and in the city of Mexico they were warmly welcomed. The Empress was in a state of enthu siasm, of which, says the author, I never could have imagined so quiet a person capable. But her husband saw more clearly ; though not wishing to damp the rising spirit of his wife, he concealed his anxieties from her. From Chapultepec he went every morning to the city with the Empress, and there worked hard at his duties, and with an earnest endeavour to inspire confidence, to disarm hostility, and to reconcile the people to the new rule. In this he was greatly aided, at least, to those around him, by the ingenuous disposition, the kindliness of heart, and the overflowing generosity of Char lotte. One Mexican, at least, was really inspired with an earnest loyalty and love of those to whom he devoted his services. Mejia met the cortege at San Martin, and took his last farewell of Maximilian at Queretaro, when both stood before the firing party to receive the volley that to them was a funeral knell. At that awful moment, with his last breath, Mejia exclaimed that he gave his life gladly for his master. Ihe countess describes him as " a young man of large stature, bronze-coloured complexion, dark sparkling eyes, smooth black hair, and strong fea tures, but with the child-like, simple ways which betray Indian descent. This young man is highly esteemed even by the French, because he unites a trusty character to great personal bravery." The countess wrote before Maximilian's story had ended in the dark tragedy of Queretaro, and it is there fore all the more valuable. She appears to have been impressed with the dislike generated by the French to the foreign rule in Mexico. Maximilian's posi tion was peculiarly unfortunate. Ere he appeared on the scene the deepest prejudice had been excited against his supporters, and the arrogance of the French commanders roused in Maximilian the greatest irritation. lie was therefore cut off from throwing himself on the people, at the same time that he was far from being on terms of friendship with those on whose support rested his throne. Between his earnest efforts to trust the natives, and the re spout,ibility that attached to his Government for the acts of the foreign troops, he fcll. In both he made sad mistakes ; but the blunder which crushed every chance was in entering Mexico, not only without NEW I ORK MARKETS. (From Correspondent of the Anglo-American Times.) NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 1867. Though trade is far from satisfactory, the money market has improved—the terms now prevailing on call being from 7 to 7f per cont., with nothing under 6 even, when covered by Government's. Discounts are firm at from 7 to 9 per cent. for the best paper. Remittances of currency to the South have increased as well as receipts from the West. The largo sums demanded to move the heavy crops have left the Now York banks in a better position than expected. Popular distrust, however, is in no degree abated. Several prominent petroleum dealers have sus pended. Tracey, Irwin, and Company, dry goods jobbers, have failed. H. J. Shuttleworth, banker, of Buffalo, Now York, and Messrs. Pancoast and Warnock, auctioneers, of Philadelphia, are among the number. Also Messrs. Sene ca] and Migs, of Montreal, with large interests in the United States' lumber trade, stopped on Nov. 9, with liabilities estimated at $400,000. The meeting of the creditors of Robert S. Taylor and Henry W. Hubbell on Nov. 6 has been satisfactory. Another will be held to day. if thepriuted reports of Mr. Taylor's assets and lia bilities are reliable, he can pay nearly three times what he owes. The assets amount to $1,650,932, and the liabili ties to $599,705. His connection with 11. W. Hubbell has involved him to the great surprise of all, and few me❑ have ever more justly meritel sympathy. Mr. Hubbell's liabilities are given at $1,874,150, and his assets at $506,615. Charles P. Bayard, of Philadelphia, has settled in full with his creditors at six, nine, and twelve months, with interest. A Lard fight is anticipated in Congress between the advocates of contraction and inflation, and it is thought that Secretary M*Culloch's plan of redeeming $4,000,000 per mensem will be temporarily suspended. The inflation party derive their chief strength from the Western mem bers, and they are also greatly aided by the desire of all to take the easiest present course without regard to the future. Inflation means temporary prosperity—contrac tion, heavy depression, anetfailures ; and though the ad vocates of contraction have honesty and common sense on their side, they will probably be beaten by their oppo nents. There is, however, some truth in what they urge, that the surplus revenue should be used in redeeming the interest-paying debt, which would quickly advance the price in Europe, and enable the United States, with the consent of their creditors, to fund it all and reduce the interest. The 10-40's are a great success, and as they ap pear to be growing in favour in Europe, it is rumoured that the Secretary will apply to Congress for leave to issue a loan specially designed for the foreign market. With the permanent funding of the Debt another question ' will come prominently before Congress, and that is to put an end for ever to the power the Stevens, Butlers, and Pendletons have exercised to the damage of the United States' credit, by passing a resolution that the Debt, prin cipal and interest, is payable, and will be paid, when due, in coin. Gold has slightly advanced, and is firm in anti cipation that Congress will stop further contraction. Yes terday the price opened at 141, fell to 1401, rose to 1415, and closed at 1405. Thaddeus Stevens's letter has caused no excitement in the gold market. There is a falling off in the receipts of bullion from San Francisco, which is, in a measure, accounted for by the new line now in full opera tion from San Francisco to Hongkong. Direct shipments of silver can thus be made for Chi nese produce, and it is cheaper and more convenient to give bills on San Francisco than, as in the old course of trade, by the purchase of bills in London. American sil ver is 41 to 5 cents below gold; Mexican dollars 1025 to 103 in geld. There has been another jump in some of the railroad stocks, and on Wednesday New York Cen tral had a great rise. This was due to the publication of the correspondence between Vanderbilt and stockholders representing $13,000,000. The prestige of his name has a favourable influence, now that his power is confirmed. The St. Paul and Chicago Railroad Company has been reorganised, five of the old directors have withdrawn, and the following gentlemen elected in their place:—William H. Ogden, Lowell Holbrook, M. S. Sykes, M. F. Young, and John Farrington. The fight among the proprietors over the direction of the Pacific Mail Company will, it is thought, end in a victory for the present board. Express Stocks are improved. Adams, 745 to 745 ; Americau, 725 to 73; United States, 74 to 75; Wells, Fargo, and Co., 535 to 535 ; Merchants Union ($35 paid), 335 to 335. Petroleum stocks are steady. Mining stocks show little animation, and business is nominal. Manufactures remain dull, and many mills in Now England are running on short time, and the manufacturers now believe that the increased tariff has been damaging to their interests. Flour and grain have de,dined, the markets being fully supplied. A summary of the commerce of New 1 ork for the year, up to October 31, shows a total of imports of $171,458,669, a decrease of $43,000,000 as compared with 1866, and a' total of exports of $152,036,524, about $20,000,000 less than last year, though a very marked improvement has been visible duri❑g the past month. The receipts from duties were $101,879,476, against $114,655,329 for the first ten mouths of 1866.

Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have improved 1 per cent. They aro now 18 tul9. (From E. P Salterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, Nov. 27 .) Our advices from New York per Russia are to the 12th instant; they a report a steady market for all descriptions of Government securities, with an improving tendency. In Railroad Shares there had been more activity, but with out any material advance, notwithstanding the favourable traffic returns for the month of October. State Stocks and Railroad Bonds wore more inquired for, and all offer ing were readily taken at slightly enhanced quotations. The usual monthly return of the Treasury shows some important alterations ; nearly thirty-one millions of 7-30 Treasury Notes had been exchanged for long-dated gold bearing bonds, the total increase in these securities being $32,914,850, while the debt carrying a higher rate of in terest in currency had decreased $34,306,010. The total decrease of debt for the month, less coin and currency in Treasury, was $3,511,700. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. (Coimnitteo of Administration.)
