MR. DISRAELrS MANIFESTO. The Prime Minister has issued the following address:— " TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF BUCKINGHAM. " Gentlemen, —Since I last addressed you, her Majesty has been graciously pleased, upon the retirement of at illustrious statesman, to entrust to me the chief cc n lucl of public affairs. "Having enjoyed the entire and unbroken confidence of the Earl of Derby for twenty years, during which we worked together in a harmony never interrupted, I was thoroughly acquainted with his policy, and I have pur• sued that policy without deviation. I may, therefore, in asking a renewal of your political support, take a general view of the conduct of affairs since the accession of the Conservative Government to office in 186 G. " The question of Parliamentary Reform had then for a long series of years disquieted the country, and em barrassed and enfeebled successive Administrations, which had failed to lead it to any happy conclusion. We were of opinion that this state of affairs should terminate, and by a series of measures, in the course of two years, we brought about a settlement of the question—broad in its principles, large and various in its provisions, but, as we believe, in unison with the character of the country, and calculated to animate the spirit of the community and add strength and stability to the State. "The conduct of foreign affairs has obtained the sym pathy and confidence of the various Courts and Powers ; the just influence of England has been established, and it has been used for the maintenance of peace and the interests of civilisation. " The legacy of insult and difficulty which had been left us in Abyssinia could only be successfully encountered by a responsibility from which we did not shrink. The result of the expedition to that country vindicated the honour of the Crown and the cause of humanity and justice, and it obtained for her Majesty's forces the admiring respect of Europe. "\Vhen we acceded to office the state of the navy was one which occasioned serious anxiety. The fortresses on which the late Ministry had expended millions were with. out artillery, the British soldier was armed with inferior weapons, and the military service of the country so unpopular, that if no change had been devised we might have been driven to the principle of a conscription. At present, it cannot be denied that the strength of the navy is materially increased, the defences of the country much advanced, the soldier admirably armed, and enlistment become so popular that not only is the voted number of our forces no longer in arrear, but many thousand 'veterans, who were about to claim their discharge, have remained in the army. Such great results have, of course, not been obtained without an increase of our expenditure, but the expenditure has been on objects of the first necessity ; and while it has been defrayed without adding to our taxation, it has entitled no burden on posterity. " Economy does not consist in the reckless reduction of estimates. On the contrary, such a course almost necessarily tends to increase expenditure. There can be no economy where there is no efficiency, and to secure efficiency you must be vigilant in administrative improve neut. Influenced by these views, her Majesty's Govern ment, by placing in the hands of a single individual a control over the expenditure of the War Office, com menced a considerable reform during the late session in the administration of the army, which will conduce to greater economy and efficiency, both in peace and war. " Great public advantage may be anticipated from this measure, and the different departments of the State will be revised in the same spirit. This revision will assist that retrenchment which the pressing exigencies of the public service have alone prevented. "In the government of Ireland we had to encounter a dark conspiracy of foreign military adventurers, acting on the morbid imagination of a limited portion of our Irish fellow•subjects, and whose active combinations, had they been successful, would have led to general disorganisation and plunder ; that conspiracy has been baffled in every instance and in every quarter, by vigilance and firmness, which, being the consequence of conscious power and not of panic, have led to no unnecessary severity ; so that even the discomfited have admitted that their treatment has not been marked by vengeance or cruelty. "Notwithstanding this untoward state of affairs, we have pursued towards Ireland that wise policy of sympathy and conciliation which has been followed by all parties in the State for the last thirty years. Justice has never in that country been administered with more impartiality ; and whether with respect to the tenure of land or the facilities for education, we will continue to give our earnest consideration to every suggestion which is consistent with the rights of property and with the maintenance of our Protestant institutions. " In this state of affairs we had reason to hope, and it was generally contemplated by the country, that we might have tranquilly wound up the business of the late session, and then asked, according to the provisions of the great statute which we had just passed, the public verdict on our conduct. Had it been propitious, we might, by the favour of the sovereign, have continued to serve her Majesty, and enjoyed an opportunity of effecting those legal and social improvements which are so much required, and to the necessity of which we had proved we were not insensible. Had the verdict been adverse we should have retired from office without a murmer, conscious that, when we had the opportunity, we had endeavoured to do our duty, and still prepared, as representing one of the great parties of the State, to co-operate with our rivals in public life for the public good. " This, the natual current of events, was to be inter rupted. The leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons seized the occasion of an expiring Parliament, which had proclaimed its inadequate representation of the country, to recommend a change of the fundamental laws of the realm, and to propose a dissolution of the union between Church and State. " Her Majesty's Government offered, and will offer, to this policy an uncompromising resistance. The connection of religion with the exercise of political authority is one of the main safeguards of the civilisation of man. It instils some sense of responsibility even into the deposi tories of absolute power. But, under any circumstances, the absence or severance of such a tie will lower the character and duties of Government, and tend to the degradation of society. " But it is urged that, in the present instance, the appli- cation of the new policy is only to be partial, and that only one portion of her Majesty's dominions—lreland—is for the present to be submitted to the revolution ; and on this plea--that in Ireland the members of the Established Church form only a minority of the population. " If this numerical test is to be accepted, its application cannot be limited to Ireland ; and if, in a country of entire toleration, a local instead of an imperial gauge be adopted, the religious integrity of the community will be soon frittered away. " Instead of Ireland being made an exception to the fundamental condition of our Constitution. there are many secondary reasons why the Established Church should be maintained in that country. "Its subversion would aggravate religious hostility and party rancour; would suppress a resident class of men whose social virtues are conducive, as all agree, to the welfare of the country; and would further diminish the security of property in a land where its tenure and enjoy. ment are not as unquestioned as they hitherto have been in other parts of her Majesty's dominions. " But even in Great Britain the spoliation of the Church in Ireland would not be without its effect. Confiscation is contagious ; and when once a community has been seduced into plunder its predatory acts have seldom been single. " There are, however, even weighter reasons why this new policy should be resisted. " The religious liberty which all her Majesty's subjects now happily enjoy is owing to the Christian Church in this country having accepted the principles of the Reforma tion, and recognised the supremacy of the sovereign as the representative of the State, not only in matters temporal, but in matters ecclesiastical. This is the stronghold of our spiritual freedom. So long as there is in this country the connection, through the medium of a Protestan sove reign, between the State and the National Church, religious liberty is secure. " That security is now assailed by various means and on different pleas ; but amidst the discordant activity of many factions there moves the supreme purpose of one power. The philosopher may flatter himself he is advancing the cause of enlightened progress ; the secta rian may be roused to exertion by anticipations of the downfall of ecclesiastical systems. These are transient efforts ; vain and passing aspirations. The ultimate triumph, were our Church to fall, would be to that power which would substitute for the authority of our sovereign the supremacy of a foreign prince ; to that power with whose tradition, learning, discipline, and organisation our Church alone has hitherto been able to cope, and that, too, only when supported by a determined and devoted people.--I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your obliged and faithful servant, " Downing-street, Oct. 1." "B. Dlsrunr. EARTHQUAKE 1N MALTA.— 011 the 24th of September, at a quarter before ten in the morning, a somewhat sharp shock of earthquake was felt at Malta, but it was of very short duration, and has caused no damage. THE Ru AEON COLLIERY ACCIDENT. —The inquest on the killed in this accident has been opened and adjourned for a fortnight, after taking some formal evidence. The number of wounded is fourteen, mostly lads. The greater number of the dead are men who leave wives and families. Two of the wounded are in a precarious condition, THE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE PREMIER'S ADDRESS. The acidresi of the First Lord of the Treasury, so long and anxiously expected, has of course called forth nume rous and varied comments from the press. Those weekly papers which are inimical to the policy of the Premier contain no notice of it, but the Imperial Review and the John Bull comment upon it. The former thinks that the Liberals will find very little in the address to reassure them as a party, and that as an appeal to the people it will carry the weight that attaches to the words of one who represents a successful policy and a popular cause. Mr. Disraeli's comments on the inopportune period selected by Mr. Gladstone for his attack on the Church, merely give expression to views that are very generally held by Mr. Gladstone's own followers. That in the last session of an expiring Parliament a recommendation should have been made to change the fundamental law of the realm, and a dissolution should be proposed of the union between Church and State, is manifestly a course that is not to be defended on any grounds of lofty statesmanship or high political principles. The John Bull observes that Mr. Disra.eli's address does not contain one single word which a High Churchman cannot cordially endorse, his use of the word Protestant being carefully confined to its political meaning, in which sense, as we have always maintained, those who value liberty and freedom from the usurpation of a foreign Power should never shrink from its use. We observe with intense gratification that Mr. Disraeli does not refer to the report of the Irish Church Commissioners. All the daily papers refer to the address except the leading journal. The Herald considers the address of Mr. Disraeli an able and outspoken manifesto of Conservative policy. All doubts and misgivings will now be dismissed. Mr. Disraeli shews conclusively that Mr. Gladstone's scheme, if triumphant, would utterly fail to add aught of prosperity or happiness to the condition of the Irish people, and that it would, on the contrary, be most prejudicial ; that confiscation would be found to be contagious, and the spoliation of the Church in Ireland would only precede by a longer or a shorter period the same process in England, and thus the security of property would be permanently diminished. The Herald com mends this important State paper to the careful study of its rea lers, and cannot doubt but that its influence on the elections will be extensive and decisive. The Post remarks that the grounds upon which the Premier claims support for himself and party are included in wide bounds. The Post alludes to those matters in the address which do not refer to the leading question of the day, and, granting to him the credit he claims in these matters, he has still by far the larger part of his ground to cover. The charge of unfairness against the Oppo sition will not stand, as, before Parliament met, Lord Stanley had pronounced the Irish Church the question of the hour; and immediately upon the meeting of Parliament, Lord Mayo made a solemn declaration of policy upon it. Mr. Disraeli con siders the severance of the tie between Church and State would lower the character of a Government. The Post wonders whether Mr. Disraeli remembers the existence of such unimportant places as the United States, Canada, Australia, and Jamaica, and whether the case of Spain sug gested itself to his mind as an illustration. Nothing could be more unwarrantable or more disingenuous than an attempt to inflame Protestant bigotry against the advocates of an act of justice. It will, however, defeat itself by its own absurdity and malevolence : the matter will be tried upon the question whether it is right that the Irish Establish ment should be maintained, and unless better reasons can be given for it than those Mr. Disraeli has advanced, it will most certainly be abolished. The Daily News thinks the address clear enough. The party of Mr. Hardy in the Cabinet has triumphed over that of Lord Stanley. Mr. Disraeli for a moment is a Protestant of Protestants. The destruction of the privi leges of the throne, of the liberties of the people, and of the rights of property, with the submission of England to the Papal sway, are the consequences which Mr. Disraeli sees flowing from that measure of simple justice to Ireland of which his early writings and speeches contain not the least able advocacy. Perfectly to appreciate Mr. Dis raeli's manifesto of 1868, it should be compared, however, with his manifesto of 1865. Mr. Disraeli is now in office; he was then in Opposition. Even now he speaks as if he were Lord Derby's deputy, but it would be more becoming to boast of the confidence of the House of Commons than of any peer, however illustrious. Mr. Disraeli's shew of resistance is only a shew. He cries "No surrender" most loudly when he meditates unconditional capitulation. The weightiest reason of all for the maintenance of the union of Church and State, the Standard notes, is reserved for the last, and its statement by the head of the Government will be received with great satisfaction. Mr. Disraeli has on several occasions referred to it, but now that it is clearly and unequivocally put forward, not in the heat of debate but in the solemn declaration of a policy, it appears to have double weight. The religious liberty enjoyed by all her Majesty's subjects is owing to the Christian Church in this country having accepted the principles of the Reformation. On that basis Mr. Disraeli places his claims to govern the country, and appeals to the people of England for their approval and support. The address, the Star says, will disappoint those who supposed Mr. Disraeli was about to turn statesman, and will realise the contemptuous anticipations of those who felt sure he would address his constituents in the tone of a melodramatic ecclesiastical alarmist. Anything more purely histrionic than his appeal to the electors of Bucking hamshire has never been known in the history of politics. The Star thinks that the paragraph as to the Queen's supremacy must have been written by the Dean of Ripon. If the address be not despised and scouted throughout the length and breadth of England as utterly beneath the notice of intelligent men, we shall say that the Premier ship of Mr. Disraeli casts a gloomier imputation on the good sense of the English people than we have ever supposed could fall upon it under any circumstances wnatever. FOUR CHILDREN SHOT AT LEICESTER. A very wanton and cruel case of shooting has cccurred at Leicester. It appears that the teachers and children of the Bishop-street Wesleyan schools had assembled for their annual holiday in a field near the Abbey meadow, which is near the canal. Between four and Eve o'clock the teachers were startled by hearing the report of a gun and the rattling of the shots on the windows and roof of a factory hard by, and on going towards the canal they found four of their scholars had been shot by a youth, who was in charge of a boat that was passing along the canal. Medical assistance was obtained, and it was found that a boy called Brown was suffering acutely from numerous wounds in his face, one shot having entered just beneath the right eye ; another had penetrated the hall of the left eye, one of his front teeth was shat out, and nine shots had entered his cheeks. One Emma Food was not so dangerously wounded, although one of the shots had entered her face near the right eye. Two other boys—Shelton and Bull—were both shot in the face, but their injuries were not of a serious character. The youth who fired the gun was followed and arrested. He appeared the worse for drink. He gave the name of Charles Mitchell, and said he came from Cleethorpes. and was 17 years old. On hearing the charge against him, he stated that he was passing along the canal by the side of the field. The children threw stones at him, and, as they took no heed of his remonstances but persisted in annoying him, he took up a gun, which lay loaded in the boat, and fired amongst thorn. Prisoner was brought before the magistrates and remanded. A performer in the late musical festival at Gloucester writes : " The principal artiste at the recent `Festival of the Three Choirs,' read aloud in my presence, from a leading journal, a criticism on her singing, in a piece which she never sang at all. Alas for the composer, the singer, and the public !" Yesterday a large congregation as.sembled in the Church of St. Edmund-the-King, Lombard-street, for the purpose of hearing " Father Ignatius" preach ; but pre vious to the commencement of the service it was announced that the rev. gentleman would not officiate. Soon after this intimation many left the church. We were informed that Mr. Lyne was so indisposed that his medical man had ad vised him to visit the Continent. RECOVERY OF ANOTHER BODY FROM THE OAKS COLLIERY.—During the week another body was recovered, which was identified as that of Richard Oakley Nichols, a married man, who resided at Hoyle Mill. It was found in the new south level. The total number of deaths by the accident in the Oaks Colliery is set down at 360 ; and although twenty-one months have elapsed since the explosion, there yet remain in the pit 240 bodies. CAPTURE OF THE CHESTERFIELD MURDERER.— on Friday morning a telegram was received by Superin. tendent Wheeldon, from Barnsley, to the effect that s man answering the description given of the murderer, George Hughes, had been apprehended in that town, Superintendent Wheeldon at once proceeded by train tc Barnsley to identify the man. The prisoner, when charged, partly admitted the crime. NOMINATION OF SIIERIFFS.—In accordance wilt ancient cust3m, the annual ceremony of nominating tilt sheriffs for the several counties of England and Wales, with the exception of Lancashire and Cornwall, tht sheriffs of which are nominated by the Crown, and Mid, dlesex, where the sheriffs have been already elected bj the livery of the City of London—will.be held in the Court of Exchequer of the 11th proximo. being the morrow el Martin, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVE.NING, OCTOBER 3, 1868 MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (From the Anglo-American Times.) His Excellency REVERDIT JOHNSON has been among the speakers at other banquets than Shef field. The last was given by the Mayor and Cor poration of Worcester, when he paid a very grace ful compliment to Lord NAPIER OF MAGDALA. His Excellency and Lord STANLEY have accepted an in vitation from the American Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool to a banquet on the 22d inst. To read some of the comments ou the Sheffield affair by the American papers it might be supposed that it was Mr. JOHNSON'S business to demand a list of the guests before he accepted the in vitation, and to refuse unless certain names were struck out. He had no right, say they, to be found at the same table with two such bitter ene mies of the United States as Lord NVIIARSCLIFFE and Mr. ROEBUCK. How could Mr. JOHNSON know who he was to meet, and how could such a party have been formed at Sheffield without asking these objectionable gentlemen? The one was the repre sentative in Parliament, the other was a magnate of the county. If both took strong partisan sides with the South, still Mr. JOHNSON represents the South as much as he does the North, and, like a true Representative, prefers to meet friend or foe really interested in his country to people wholly indifferent. If the British Minister at Washington was only permitted to meet at dinner those who had never spoken ill of England his society would be in the highest degree " select ;" but he would not then be a very useful Minister. Why, it is to the lost sheep that a Minister is sent, and it is especially his business to influence the leaders of public opinion and those who control the Government in favour of the views taken in his own country. Our friend the Spirit, who shows an unaccountable spirit of animosity against Mr. JOHNSON, says " That he must have landed at the docks at Liverpool with his hat in his hand as if looking eagerly around for some live lord before whom he might go down on his marrow-bones and ask forgiveness for being an American." As it happens, Mr. JOHNSON did not land at Liverpool at all, but if his object had been to get hold of a "live" lord he would there have gone to the wrong shop. Perhaps the Spirit means a " cotton" lord, which we venture to say is a more interesting animal to the American Minister. If Mr. JOHNSON cannot control the invitations, he is even less able to put a gag on the mouths of the guests. Any one sitting next to Mr. ROEBUCK might have pushed a roll down his throat, and thereby have brought his oratory to an ignominious close, exhibiting him in the guise of a " dumb founded" Spaniard ; but Mr. JOIINSON could not thus act. The question is, What was a gentle man to do under such circumstances ? and we believe that few gentlemen have the slightcst doubt about how they ought to act. The essence of the subject is in the intention not of the speaker but of the host, and generally of the party. The Speaker may be an ill-bred fool, per haps unconscious of the import of his wirds ; he may be—drunk; or he may be a vicious, ill-con ditioned whelp, glad of the opportunity of pur chasing a little cheap notoriety. Ia the two first cases it is the host and not the guest who is to be pitied ; and the guest endeavouri;l'hy his Matiner, to set his entertainer at easalayfshowingoriOn. - though it be a feint, how lightly he regards the contretemps ; in the last, if the Minister retires I with ruffled feathers, he does what the other wants. Unfortunately, the desire of effacing Mr. ROE BUCK'S speech induced the English papers to give it a prominence of which it was wholly undeserving, and thereby to call American attention to what otherwise would have passed with scarcely any no tice. Mr. JOHNSON has been a leading party man, and the organs of the other side are always ready to pick up everything which tells against him. Although there are few men in America more generally respected, and against whom less ani mosity is. directed, still the price of the posi tion is a certain measure of detraction, and Mr. ROEBUCK furnished them with the opportunity for an attack. We do not know whether Mr. ROE BUCK got what he wanted, bat if he did his tastes are so peculiar that he is not likely soon to find an imitator. We hope that Mr. JOHNSON will continue to use every opportunity given by his high position to strengthen the bonds of union between the na tions, undeterred either by attacks in England or attacks from home. At present, in Lm lon, there are two Americans representing great nationalities —the one received with lavish cordiality, the other with buckets of cold water. Bat we are thankful to say that they are fatly up to the position—the one neither elated nor carried away by flattery, nor the enthusiasm of the other camped by neglect ; because both are men of sense and good breeding, as well as men of the world. The reason given for the attack of the whites on the negroes at Camilla, Georgia, is not bad in its way. It is that the blacks were infringing the law, as they were carrying arms. To preserve the law the whites not only carried arms themselves, but shot all the negroes they could, covering the ground with their bodies as in a hardly-contested action. This is what they call preserving the law in Geor gia. The President has, however, ordered an in vestigation, and what the Sheriff says will be tested, that he was merely attempting to disperse negroes, who provoked the fate they met by firing upon the whites and wounding six, simply because a drunken bystander discharged a shot at them. Although a Republican procession marched unmolested through New Orleans lately, it is evident that the Clubs are making up for this forbearance. A fight took place on the night of the 22d Sept. between the Republican and Democratic Clubs, and though no casualties are reprted a renewal of the disturbance is feared. The other items of intelligence brought by the Russia are the following :—The Georgia Legisla ture has rejected the suggestion of Governor But ock to ask for the aid of national troops to pre serve the peace of the State. The prosecution in the Surratt trial has filed a demurrer to the appli cation of the counsel for the defence for the dis missal of the conspiracy charge under the provisions of the annuity proclamation. A large and enthu siastic Republican meeting was held at the Cooper Institute in New York last evening. General Fre mont was among the speakers. The cotton reports from Tennessee continue unfavourable. Wright's report states that in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida the cotton is much damaged by worms and rains. The action which was to decide the fate of Queen Isabella was fought at the bridge of Alcolea, near Cordova, between Marshal Serrano, commanding the insurgents, and the Marquis de Novaliches, commanding the Royalists, who was defeated, mor tally wounded, and sent back to Madrid, where he died. The news caused a rising in the capital, when the troops and people fraternised. Marshal Concha resigned, and the revolution established a new Government. The Junta declared for the downfall of the dynasty, universal suffrage, and a Cortes. The Royal arms were removed, and the Queen's busts and statues descended into the gutter. The Official Gazette contained a proclamation of the Provisional Govern ment pronouncing the deposition of Queen Isabella, asserting the sovereignty of the people, and conclud ing with the words, " Down with theßourbons." Prim and Serrano are united in opinion. Elections were about to be held, the National Guard was being organized, and already a loan had been tendered to the Government of 160,000,000 reals. The Queen finding her cause hopeless slid down the Pyrenees, and " sloped " into France, while the nation took up the Yankee cry of " Let her slide." We are sorry for a lady in misfortune, though we cannot but rejoice at the success of the re volution. It has been almost bloodless, while had the Royal cause prevailed we have a sample of what would have happened in the action of General Calonge, who, on the capture of Santander, imme diately shot 21 of the inhabitants. He was ar rested at Duenas, as the people did not wish to " let him slide" after the Queen into France, as he had to answer for that little affair at Santander. It is a pity that he could not earlier realize and sympathize with the feelings of people ordered to be shot, as he might then have escaped the opera tion himself. We fear the Spaniards will find it easier to get rid of the Queen than to establish a firm and satisfactory Government. The Louisiana Legislature has passed a bill which has become law without the signature of Governor `Yarmouth, and we give its main provi sions here, instead of under the heading of the " Southern States," as it is proposed to adopt its provisions throughout the Reconstituted States. It is directed to the revision of all existing laws, both class and general. The Louisiana Legislature joins a House committee of three with a Senate com mittee of two, appointed by the officer presiding in each assembly, who sall sit during the recess, and select those who are to simplify the language, cor rect the incongruities, supply deficiencies, and re duce to order the statutes of the States under the supervision of the committee. Five thousand dol lars have been appropriated for the purpose. Same curious statistics have been published by the Freedman's Bureau. Lieutenant Brown re ports that in Tennessee, during the year ending Ist July last, action had been taken by the civil authorities on 162 murders, which, up to 25th August, had been increased to the number of 179. In 76 of these cases the civil authorities did not attempt to bring the perpetrators to punishment. Eleven out of the 179 murders are shown to have been com mitted by blacks, leaving 168 that were committed by whites, upon whites and blacks. Seventy-three of the persons murdered are shown to have been whites, and 106 to have been blacks. But, bad as Tennessee is, Texas, according to a former statement, is worse, and we can but hope that a change will occur after the elections, when the country will be settled for a few years, at least as regards the President. A letter from Little Rock, Arkansas, states that iu Columbia County 19 Republicans were assassinated within ten days, one of whom, for shouting Grant, was riddled with eleven bullets. Commander Jeffers, of the U.S.S. Swatara, has reported to Secretary Wells an interview with the Liberian Government. The Liberians heard with astonishment that the negroes of the Southern States had been admitted to the franchise. " We," said they, " do not allow the natives to vote unless they have been educated in our schools." This has been used as a campaign document, which the Democrats profess to consider will be difficult to answer, though few unprejudiced and thinking men will find any difficulty in the matter. All object to the voting of ignorant negroes, but many consi der that of two verygreat evils the renewal of slavery is the more dangerous. They set the injury which may be accomplished by the former against what might happen, supposing the negroes to be deprived of their vote, and select the most promising horn of the dilemma. The position of Liberia is wholly diffe rent, fur there are no white men there against whom it is necessary to arm the negroes with political power. It is a pity that this, the essence of the subject, is habitually avoided by the Democrats, for though the English might be imposed upon by dropping the necessity, and discussing the objectionable remedy, yet the citizens of the United States can not be thus deluded, therefore it would be better boldly to meet the difficulty, and aid in working out a remedy. Senator Morgan and Representative Shenck met, and drew up the following letter regarding the re assembling of Congress on the 21st. September Washington f H. 11-4*.2r.- 0.41,007. of ~ t he Senate and the 81)eak e t:i o pIi k e- Wimp 'O.-APiirre4eatEl.ttv were, Toy .tOtoitition of'-Congress; 'to/ p•Glinittn their respective-dionses until the ,third. Monday of September, 1868, and on that day, unless then otherwise ordered by the two Houses, they were directed to further adjourn their respective Houses until the first Monday of Decem ber. In accordance with the request of the Republican members of the XLth Congress, the undersigned decide and respectfully recommend that there be a full attend ance of both Houses of Congress on Monday, the 21st day of September instant, promptly at 12 o'clock noon. It is not expected that general legislative business will be entered into at that time, or that the session need be longer than necessary to provide for another adjournment. It is important that there should be such general attend ance of members as will secure the presence of a quorum in each House,. E. D. MORGAN, Chairman Union Republican Committee. ROBERT C. SCHENCK, Cbairman Republican Congressional Committee. The moment the call was made public a general rush of office-seekers set in towards Washington, but it was soon known that Congress would do no business, merely meeting to adjourn. Senator Mor gan immediately after left Washington for New York, but he was to return for the 21st September. General Schenck was likely to be detained for a short time after the adjournment on business con nected with the Republican Congressional Com mittee. Speaker Colfax was to be back by the 19th September, and also Mr. Wade, President of the Senate, and the latest reports announced the arrival at Washington of both. Professor Agassiz has been travelling in the Rocky Mountains, and is only, as we write, on his way back to Boston. He has been charmed and amazed by what he has seen, both the plains and the mountains furnishing him with numberless ob jects of intense interest. Brazil was as nothing, he says, to what he had already seen in crossing the plains, though not yet brought face to face with the Mountains. He finds abundant material to sustain his glacial theories, and in his opinion the vast elevated plains from the foot of the Rocky Mountains to the Missouri river, and from Montana to Mexico, are deposits of great fields of ice resting upon the hills, and washing down their heights. If so, it is curious to know what the appearance of the Rocky Mountains at one time was considering their present grandeur after centuries of such waste. The Professor's route is through Colorado to the end of the Pacific Railroad track, which will bring him within 300 miles of the Mormon city, and he may therefore call on Brigham Young ere his return early this month. A very curious . circumstance has occurred at Hartford, Connecticut. It appears that a bill passed the Legislature amending the law of neutralization. The clerk in the Secretary of State's office en grossed it accurately after its passage when it was examined by the engrossing Committee, who found it to be correct. While the Committee were iu the office, by some skilful manipulation another was substituted with the vital part omitted, and taken table. The document was to the Speaker's either mutilated or changed, for there was a whole section expunged. Governor English vetoed the Bill, and two-thirds of his message was made up of a laboured argument against the clause which had no place in the law as it now stands. As sent to the newspapers from the Secretary of State's office and published, it is correct, and people won-. der who was at the bottom of the fraud. It appears= that the new Election law-was before similarly tam pered with; though detected and corrected in time. The Republicans say that the Secretary is a Con servative, and that the object is to secure the State for the Democrats. The Ward brothers, who are probably the best rowers in the world, challenged the world for a four-oared race for $5,000. This was taken up by the New Brunswick crew, who were victorious at Paris in the International Regatta. They proposed that the race should be rowed on the Connecticut River at Springfield for $l,OOO. To this the Wards ob jected after discussing the subject at a meeting held in New,York. The disputed point was the amount of the stakes, as the Wards declined to row - for less than $2,500 a side. Speaker Colfax again met Frank Blair at Denver, and on the eve of the Colorado election. Mr. Blair, at considerable personal inconvenience and exertion, reached Denver to speak for the can didate of his party, Mr. Belden. The Democrats are running a man, the Republicans are running their principles. Mr. Belden is thought very highly of throughout the Territory, but Mr. Bradford, we believe, is not. The result, then, of the election has shown Republican strength, as in spite of the repeated error of the party they carried the election of the inferior against the superior candidate. The account from Denver showed how doubtful the re sult was considered, and it was said that if Brad ford carried the election it would indicate more than appeared. on the surface. He was elected, as we elsewhere state, by a majority of 142, being 25 increase on the vote of 1866. The fright in Ireland at the cattle, disease, which, acting on the Privy Council, lel to the exclusion of American hay, has checked a most promising export. In the United States the Order in Council is considered to be wholly unnecessary, as there is no chance whatever of the disease being communi cated through such a medium. Ireland prefers the import of Fenian notions, revolvers, green uniforms, and secret instructions ; for, though the Emerald Isle screams at the shadow of an injury, it has al ways eagerly bolted the substance. John Quincy Adams has accepted the Demo cratic nomination for Governor of Massachusetts. His letter, published at Boston, September 18, de clares two matters of the greatest interest to be in volved —" one important, the other vital. The former, he says, which I take to be the financial question, was not treated by the National Convention in New York in a manner which satisfied my judgment. By providing for a payment of the bonds known as Five-Twenties by surplus revenue alone (thus ignoring what seems to me the valuable part of Mr. Pendleton's plan, withdrawal of the issues of the National Banks), the Democratic party appeared to commit themselves to an in definite extension of the intolerable nuisance of an irredeemable paper currency. lam too much of a Democrat to regard any such prospect with patience. I believe in hard money, and therein hold myself to be a true Jacksonian Demo crat." The vital question is Reconstruction. The late Mr. Stevens said—" Only two fools in the party believed the Reconstruction Acts to be Con stitutional." Mr. Adams neither believes they are, nor in the permanent domination of the African race in any State :—" But the Republican party is irrevocably pledged to this idea. They have staked their existence as a party on its triumph; to this idol they have sacrificed their constitutional obliga tions in the past, and for it they must find fresh offer ings in the future." Mr. Adams makes this curious admission about his party :—" It is true that the Democratic party in success may violate the pledges of adversity, and again subvert the organic law." (!) The reply is, that he need not be uneasy, for the party has little more chance of power, than he has of being elected Governor of Massachusetts. It is not surprising that he thus deplores the decay of ancestral reverence, considering whose son, grand son, and great-grandson he is. " The teachings and the practice of Radicalism have destroyed much of the old reverence for the precious legacy of our ancestors. We may dread lest they should do this thing, but we do certainly know that the Re publican party has already done it ; at least it is a chance, a last chance, of salvation. If that fails us—if we must submit to the whims of a majority without appeal—it matters but little to me whether it rejoices in the name of Republican or delights in the title of Democrat." Who is it that makes up the matter for Reuter's telegrams on the arrival of the mail steamers at Queenstown? When the City of Baltimore brought the news up to the 19th Sept., it was telegraphed that the Republican majority in Maine was a gain of 8,000 over that of last year, making a total ma jority of eighteen thousand. Of course, all the Eng lish papers accepted this statement, and every where circulated it, although 8,000 added to 11,614, the , Republican, majority of last year, makes more than 18,C00. Nor was the 8,000 even correct, as the majority had been increased by the districts then heard from up to 21,448, and it was estiffip,ted,to, exceed. 23,000. This .:boars out' our allarYetift as our readers will g t e , p:tiy:if,,refeieriCe to the aiticlo on. the Verianni ; ,ar0„1/iiiitle - electiona ip our issue of Sept 19..' is curious, too, thA the' Republican triumph in Colorado should have been disputed, as Bradford was elected deleg de by a majority of 142, being an increase of 25 over the majority of 1866. " Granny" never loses an oppor tunity of going wrong like the Irishman's pig, and she made her error so conspicuous that all might see it, calling attention to it in a leader. On the 18th Sept. scarcely a dozen members of Congress had arrived at Washington, although the Legislature was to open on the 21st Sept. But though the members came slowly to the Capi tol, the " lobby " posted there fast enough, the more so as it was rumoured that the President would send in nominations for a large number of vacant offices, among them one for the post of In ternal Revenue Commissioner. If a quorum could not be got together ou Monday, the 21st, there was to be a call of the House, and it was fully expected that by Tuesday, Senators and Representatives enough would have gathered, when an extension of the recess would be agreed to. Attorney-General Evarts returned to Washington, Sept. 18. Except Secretary Browning all the members of the Cabinat were at the meeting that day. Marshal Parsons, of the Supreme Court, also arrived on the 18th Sept. The news from San Francisco is dated 17th September. It tells us that a fire, covering an esti mated area of 200 square miles,was devastating both sides of the Columbia River, between the mouth of the Chowlitz River and the junction of the Willa metta with the Columbia. St. Helen's and Astoria were in danger. The destruction of timber and other property was enormous. The steamer Idaho, with a cargo of sugar, had been seized by the Custom House authorities. One of the San Francisco re fineries has been importing large quantities of sugar from the Sandwich Islands and adulterating it with powdered charcoal, and passing it through the Custom House as "low grade sugar." The United States Consul at Honolulu ascertained the facts, secured the necessary testimony, went there in the Idaho, and complained to the revenue authorities. The result was the seizure of the steamer and the sugar. The China steamship Great Republic, then three days over due, had not arrived at San Fran cisco at 8 p.m. on the 17th. Mr. Colfax had returned to Washington to be present at the opening of Congress on the 21st September. Ills party arrived at Chicago more than a week before, where they separated, Mr. Bowles going to Springfield, Massachusetts, after furnishing the Republican with some very interest ing letters descriptive of his tour. The Republican now announces the Speaker's engagement to Miss Nellie Wade, a niece of Senator Wade of Ohio. She is described as a sweet, sensible, attractive lady of thirty, well educated, and worthy of the posi tion. Her father died several years ago, and her acquaintance with Mr. Colfax began two years since in the house of her uncle the President of the Senate at Washington, where she spent a winter. She accompanied the Speaker, as we before an nounced, on his trip to the Rocky Mountains. We congratulate Mr. Colfax, although we should be sorry ourselves to go through two such campaigns at the same time as the struggle for the Vice-Pre sidency and marriage. Yet the one may neutralize the other, butwheuboth are over life can scarcely f4il to appear hum-druni after such tremendous eXcitement. Ex- Secretary Stanton expects to start west fin mediately to take part in the campaign. He will speak at Pittsburg, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Cin cinnati, and Dayton, and possibly at a few other points. He then intends to visit New York in time to enter the field there. He will visit . Philadelphia before going west. Senator Wilson will stump the South after the October elections. He has just proceeded from New York to Phil adelphia, Mr. Alexander H. Stephens arrived at Wash ington from the North on the 18th September, in excel lent spirits and health. The death of Major Joseph M. Bell is announced. He was 44 years of ago, and formerly on General Butler's staff.

(From the Springfield Republican, Sept. 19.) Another six days of work is done, and nothing yet seen of the monetary stringency predicted. Money con tinues to rule easy; and the supply is perhaps oven better distributed this week than last. The idea of " seven per cent. in gold" is pretty generally given up by this time. The banks of New York still hold nearly $20,000,000 in excess of the 25 per cent. of lawful money security re quired by law ; and, should the drain of currency to the West continue, they have forty millions in three per cent. certificates which they can exchange at the Treasury for lawful money. These considerations make it certain that the supply is far above any demand which it is reasonable to anticipate. Indeed, the'demand from the West, in stead of being heavier, as was generally expected, has been even lighter for the week, the decrease in deposits and greenbacks at New York being under two and a half millions, and hence inside the probable esti mate. Iu some cases previous orders have been countermanded by telegraph. Those who based their calculations of stringency "about this time" on last year's experience, and made their minds up for seven per cent. in gold, are beginning to appreciate the difference between this year and last. In the first place, the banks began to meet the Western demand better pre pared than last year. In the second place, there is an un precedented amount of foreign money balances in New York and of credits, which can be drawn upon, if the mites of money improve. As money is a positive drug at 1-,1 to 2 per cent. in London, and the accumu lation at the Bank of France continues under the increas ing apprehension of war, the capacity of the market is greatly increased from this source. It is even reported that Canada banks are employing their funds to a consi derable extent in New York. In the third place, the sub- Treasury holds $15,000,000 or less of legal-tender notes, against $35,000,000 at this time last year, the balance being in use, it is fair to presume, somewhere. In the fourth place, the purchases of goods for the West and South this year will come nearer in amount and in time to the indebtedness of the East for grain and cotton than last year. It would not be difficult to exhibit other points of difference all to the advantage of the money market the present year. Anyway, the fact remains that September is more than half gone, without the banks of New York losing ono half what they ought to have done, if there is to be any such stein gencyns it. has been popular to predict. The scarcity of small notes is being more and more felt at the West, and the banks East are not able to furnish them to their cor respondents. The Treasurer at Washington has given notice, however, that every facility will be given ix making the exchange, or " change," at the department. At Boston the market is working rather closer, with not much room to spare. Money is worth 5 to 6 per coat. at call on Governments, 7 per cent. on good 60 days' paper, and 7i for anything longer. The street rates are 71- for tire best signatures, and 8 to 9 for good average double names. At New York first-class houses have no diffi culty in getting money on call at 3 to 4 per cent.; some borrowers have to 'pay as high as 5. There is quite a dis position to borrow on 30 or 60 days, in consequence of the predictions so persistently made of a pinch to come soon. Discounts are freely made at 6 to 7 per cent. Money is rather easier outside than at the banks, which are expecting further orders from the West, and in clined to keep their funds well-in-hand. At Philadelphia the 'decrease in deposits and legal tenders this week is rather larger than last. At Cincinnati the drain of cur rency to the interior is perceptibly checked. The demand for discounts is full and rates are strong. At Chicago money has worked easier during the week, and the move ment to the country has totally ceased. The banks have stopped ordering currency from New York, and in some cases orders have been countermanded. The demand for currency from the South. has not yet begun to tell very heavily. The movement of the cotton crop will require a censideraible,Ainotmt of currency, and it is likely to be hbrOughi<fer4fdly: Under the apprehension of a decline. _'.:Foreign"'3ltehtitige id inactive and prices are less firmly ! Gold has remained without much fluctuation during the week ; but its firmness, under the repeated assaults of the bears, is ominous of an early rise. 141 seems to be " bot tom".for it just now; and we shall look to seek it turn and go up before long. The business demand is heavy, and importers are generally securing themselves at present rates, in preference to borrowing. For prompt delivery gold is in only moderate supply. The export continues to be trifling. The New York, World remarks that there is no doubt the greater part of the November interest is already sold. Governments have advanced a fraction on most of the denominations. The results of the Maine election had chiefly been discounted beforehand, with the improved feeling in political circles ; but the whole line could not help recognizing the tribute paid to national honesty on Monday by advancing, though less than was anticipated, on Tuesday. In London the price has ad vanced to 721. At New York the out of town orders are all to buy, and foreign bankers continue to purchase largely of the later issues fur shipment. There is also a brisk inquiry for the registered Five-twenties of 1862, which have been selling as low as 108 k to II- with accrued interest, which makes them the cheapest bonds on the list. The stock market has in general been steady. The transactions have been unusually large, the aggregate number of shares disposed of showing an increase of twenty-five per cent. The loading railroads have been firm at the full rates of last week, and in increasing demand. St. Paul, common and preferred, have been steady, closing at 951, being a rise of 4 per cent. during the week, and making a total rise of 21 on the common and 15 on the preferred within a month. This extraordinary advance is mostly genuine, though it has no doubt been helped by shrewd manipulation. The road has this ad vantage over the Chicago and North Western—its rival in the affections of the market, its late rival it might be called—viz., that while both companies represent several original corporations, the North Western operates a great part of its line on leases, for which it is subject to a con • stant and heavy drain, while the consolidation of the Mil waukee and St. Paul is genuine, and all pardons of its line have a common interest, making it a far more com pact and available property, though still much encum bered with lawsuits, if not with leases. North Western shares, both common and preferred, are also in active in vestment demaad, having risen nearly three per cent. within the week. The defeat of this road, in its contest for the Pacific Railroad business, does not seem to have lost it the confidence of the people. On the contrary, its resources have been so strikingly illustrated during the present sea son as to justify the hope that even with its gigantic bur dens it may be lifted into the dividend paying class. To ledo, Wabash, and Western has advanced to 63, a rise of 6 within the week, and 13 within the mouth. This road is now earning a dividend on its stock by the simple in crease of its traffic over last year. For the first week in September its earnings were $113,466 against $84,375 the same week last year, an increase of 33 per cent., and for several weeks the exhibit has been nearly or quite as good. The road is frightfully mortgaged, however. Fort Wayne and Rock Island are also being absorbed by the invest ment demand, and the amount now held for speculation is much less than last year. Chicago and Alton, and the Michigan Southern also show a gain. Reading is at a fraction above 90. The report of diffi culties with the coal miners is given in explanation of the continued decline. New York Central sold up to 127, but closed lower. It is said that this stock is being withdrawn from the street. The Times, which is decidedly in this interest, speaks vary glowingly of its prospects: believes that all that was ex pected of the Vanderbilt management will be realized ; that the present value of the road is 35 per cent. above the amount of its stock (not a very wide margin, at 127), and that it will earn net two millions this year more than in 1867. Erie has advanced a fraction under a largely in creased demand. It is said that the amount taken on English account, since its decline to 431, amounts to 150,000 shares, or one-third of the stock. The London Economist, in view of this heavy importation, suggests the formation of a protective association to look after the in terests of holders. Pacific Mail has steadily risen until it has reached 1091. There is plenty of explanation offered for this movement. The only question is, whether it is correct. The general belief connects it with the Webb opposition in some way —many regarding an accommoda tion as probable—others looking to see Mr Webb's enter prise crippled by the abandonment of the old Nicaragua route. It is fully as likely to be a reaction from the exces sive depression of steamship stock five months ago. It is believed that at the annual meeting in November a very satisfactory statement will be made of the affairs of the company. The once famous but long despised and ne glected Mariposa mining stock has manifested a surprising degree of activity during the week, and has advanced 5 or 6 per cent. on the preferred, the number of shares sold being very largo. The American Journal of Mining pub lishes a report upon the property, said to be by an eminent geologist, in which ho takes the ground that it has been unnecessarily depressed ; and that, particularly with Chinese labour and the recent improvement in mining, it can be worked to profit. The import entries at Now York for the past week amount to $4,227,255, against $4,583,556, same week last year. The export clearances of domestic produce to $3,074,642 against $1,789,050. The export of specie $329,525 against $325,328. The gold value of importations of foreign. merchandise at that port, since January 1, are $179,472,214 against $191,784,658 for the same period in 1867 ; the currency value of exports of domestic produce and miscellaneous goods $112,416,665 against $126,920,720; the exports of specie $65,313,052 against $41,340,548 ; the deliveries of California gold and silver $30,508,180 against $21,254,501. The increase in export is noticeable ; with the great accumulation of grain and provisions at the ports, and the rapid arrival of cotton, coastwise and by rail, taken , in connection with the uncommon meekness of holders, this year, it is likely to continue through the next two months and perhaps do some thing to restore trade to its proper balance. The export of hay to England is unfortunately threatened by an order forbidding its introduction into the kingdom without a license from the Privy Council. This is on account of the reports of our cattle plague. How much of au Qb stacle this will prove practically it is hard to say. AdviCe s from England remain unfavourable to the export of cheese, though a few choice lots have been sent out during the week. The export of petroleum since January 1 now aggregates 67,921,296 gallons, against 41,949,820 in 1861. The export demand for cotton remains dull, owing to the complete derangement of the market. Prices broke first at the Southern ports, and middling uplands have suffered a decline of 3to 4 cents. a pound. The receipts thus far are large for the season of the year, and the crop is being hurried in as fast as possible, which helps to explain the fall. It is a matter of regret that this crop should have to be sacrificed as it was last year, and seems likely to be this. The general trade of the past week has been more satis factory. The West is feeling confident from the unek ampled abundance of the crops, and the merchants along the lake ports are forwarding very heavy orders to New York. At the East trade is slower to revive, bu t the increase in activity is still noticeable. In dry goods at Now York a good business has been dono in all depart ments, and prices have held steady, except in domestic sheetings and shirtings, which have suffered a decline ill consequence of the fall in cotton. Woollen goods are selling better, especally cassimeres and fine clo tkings, and in foreign goods the transactions aro large and prices fully maintained. In provisions there has been no marked change, except that pork has advanced slightly upon 1 0 previous high figures, owing to a decided scarcity in the supply. Breadstuffs aro dull, except for new wheat and flour from it. (From the Wall-street Journal.)
