RATHER LATE IN TBE DAY.-That remarkable
political and moral reformer, the Chevalier
Webb, has at last taken up the subject Of our ap-
preaching municipal election in the right spirit,
that Is to say, independently of all party lines
and party tickets But we fear that our Wall
street recruit comes into the rather late in
the day 10 do any good. Between the separate
tickets Of the anti-Tammany, the republican, the
Know Nothing, the taxpayers and other odds
and ends Of the opposition to Tammany Hall.

wan, after the old fashion, will walk over the
course If one-half the spirit Of union which was
brought to bear against Mr.. Wood last Deem
Der could now be brought into active operation
against the real abuses, criminals. rogues. row.
dies and rowdy tactics by which we are ruled
and pundered we might hopefully anticipate
wholesome revolution. But IL IL really too late
to attempt an active movement In this direction
a sort Of independent taxpayers and peoples
party organization mixed ticket which
will combine all the various parties and factions
opposed to the old rotten Tammany clique In
solid phalanx? We fear II Is, and yet the expert
ment may result in some valuable steps towards
reform. If not in the total overthrow OF the old
rowdy system. What say the taxpayers?

outrageous in the extreme; but above all, il has
exhibited cool and studied insolence In its in
suits to the American Minister in Mexico, after the
close ofhis relations with that government and du-
ring his journey to Vera Cruz to embark for home.
These insults must be atoned for, and the 90
vernment should be prepared with feet in the
Gulf to demand instant apology and reparation
the moment that the Spanish vessels succeed in
delivering over one of the ports to President
Zuloaga. He has no seaport now, and counts
upon security from the fact that we cannot reach
him without first getting an act through Con-
grcss, and then invading the country. This he
well knows will enable him to escape with the
money be has robbed from the public treasury
and the people, and his equally guilty ministers
and partisans will escape because the prime
rascal cannot be caught If fair promises, how
ever, can induce the President to postpone for
little season the proper action in the Mexican
imbroglio, the European plotters hope to gain
their points without collision with us and
when their European protectorates are once es-
tablished in Central America and Mexico, we
will have to become the ostensible aggressor in
order to resist their hostility to us
The conferences at Madrid prove beyond
peradventure the completely of England and
France with Spain in her designs upon Mexico,
England has far more reason than Spain has
to bring the Mexican government to an &C
count for insults to its flag and outrages
upon its subjects. But England well knows that
she could not carry her action against Mexico,
farther than demanding settlement, without
serious expense and danger to herself But
Spain can be egged on, while she keeps up to us
the fair show of promises and good faith in order
to prevent our taking right view of the COM
bned projects. With Santa Anna once in power
he could soon have European force at his back,
and then the plans of the allies to counteract
the growing influence of the United States
might hope to prosper
In this complication Of affairs the President
should at once ask of Congress the authority to
act energctically in the questions of Cuba,
Mexico and Central America. The true policy
of the country, the policy towards which we are
drifting without steerage way upon the ship of
State, should be authoritatiyely announced by
Congress and acted upon by the government
We have got to control the affairs of all those
States, and the sooner we announce our intention
to do so, the easier will be its accomplishment
and the more perfect its effect.

W. II. SEWARD REPUDiATED.-In various quar-
tiers, We perceive those organs Of the republican
party whose great object is success, and not de-
feat, in 1860, are quietly and coolly repudiatng
the bloody Rochester abolition manifesto of w.
H. Seward, as utterly impracticable for Presidcn-
tial purposes. For example, the New Haven
Conn., Journal and Courier, while admitting the
truth of all that Seward says in reference to the
proslavery aggressiveness Of the democratic
party, still declares that
lie embarrasses the republican party when he links
its fortune With the abolition Of slavery through the
several States operating with the Federal government
and acting in strict conformity with their respective
stutons The party has adopted any such idea ia
its declaration OF principles and strong ground ap
pealto countensnce and support national party in the
savehodng States, has always been that sturdiy
slected the rights OF the Sates and designed in no way
whatever TO interfere with slavery the States where
existed by virtue Of local laws and Il would suffer
seriously from any well grounded suspicion that pro
posed crusade against slavery wherever and whenever
found We do not suppose that Mr. Seward thus
unite republcanism and aboitonism, but unfortunately
his Rochester speech furnishes prcex for dishonest
liicians 70 charge such intention him. and tho
republican party and throws upon his supporters and
friends dsagreeable duty of explanation and contradc
ton.
A truthful and sagacious view Of the case.
Perhaps that Rochester speech may have been
simply intended to cut out and bring over the
abolition vote Of Gerrit Smith to Morgan; aud,
perhaps, the main object may have been an anti
slavery position by Mr. Seward in front of all his
republican rivals for the White House. In any
event, that Rochester manifesto has done the
business for Seward or for the republican party
should they nominate him. Lie cannot be elect
ed. and we think cannot even be nominated in
1860 He has ovcrleaped his horse and has fall

Dr. GuIIARpET AND ORR PRISON PRIVILEGES
The escape Of DR.. Galliardet from the officer hav-
ing him in charge, while on sort Of free and
easy" tour of visitation round the city, opens up
the whole schedule Of the discipline, privileges
and perquisitcs of our city prisons, and at a
glance we perceive in the premises very
broad margin for reform. Why, for example.
should a prisoner with money at his command
be allowed the privilege Of daily or nightly
frolic round town, under the wing Of an accom-
modating policeman, while the pennilcss vagrant
under detention for a similar offence is denied
the liberty Of passing beyond the walls Of the
Jail? The rule should be uniform. and the
prisoner, with or without money. until released
on bail, should be held as prisoner within the
prison walls In this case Of DR. Galliardet.
whether bis escape was due to his superior cum
ming or to the stupidity or cupidity of the
officer, we have the proof Of the mockery of sofl.
eniRg an arrest for a criminal offence with the
Inequalities due only to a distinguished visiter
or a very particular friend. Int this and some
other matters affecting our criminal calendar we
hope some inquistive city member Of our State
Assembly will make IL his special business to in
