The TROUBLES or ORR New YORK SEWARD
REPuBIIcANs-A Car IN THE MEAL TuB.-
While the Gerrit Smith movement is threaten
ing the loss of the balance Of power to the
Seward republicans Of this State, Thurlow
Weed has just discovered still greater danger.
Read the warning and its vouchers, which we
transfer to these columns from the Albany
Journal. Thurlow says there is on foot "a con-
certed movement, extending from Staten leland
to Buffalo, to pack the State Convention ire
publican) through the agency Of secret socie-
ties !" and the evidence which he produces from
Rochester, Buffalo, st. Louis and Washington
county, gives strong coloring Of FEASIBILITY
10 this declaration. Master Weed further says
that the facts stated In these letters, care con-
frmed verbally by friends whom we meet
almost daily Thus while the Temperance
and freedom faction are operating against the
right wing Of the Seward party, the sly rogues
Of the dark Lantern are stealing into Me camp

GREELEY on FREE WooL.-The Hon. Massa
Greeley at last has given us an exhaustive es-
say On "free wool;' and the figures with which
he has interlarded il show conclusively that in
this important matter Of free wool statistics
Thurlow Weed can't hold candle to him. In
fact, Massa Greeley is perfectly at home on the
"free WOOL question, and we can now appre-
ciate the wisdom Of Matteson (Orsamus Bena-
JAIN in proposing to Lawrence, Stone Il Co. q
"free WOOL lobby deposit with the Tribune 60
between Of twenty-five thousand dollars, as
fund for the al free WOOL enlightenment of some
twenty-five members Of Congress, al q thousand
dollars head. To be sure this was bringing
down the cash value Of q member Of Congress
TO the average price Of niggcrs in the South !;
but this coincidence, we suppose, can be settled
upon the black republican doctrine that a
white man is as good as a niger II he only be-
HAYES himself"
Before diminishing the subject, we must say
that Greeley has brought out his free wool
statistics" day after the fair. Had he pa.
raded his statistical powers before Lawrence,
Stone 4 Co., as Thurlow Weed did pending the
agitation of the "free wool" tariff bill, Massa
Greeley might have pocketed the Eve thousand
dollars which were bagged by Thurlow. But
so IL often happens that a man who Is great
finsncier in theory is good for nothing when re.
duced TO practice.

The India Problem for Ensland-1iow Go
Solve IL.

Several years ago one Of the English chess
magazines presented to its readers problem,
In which white was to give mate to black In
certain number Of moves. The amateurs and
chess notabiliies attacked it with spirit each
confident that he would soon find the solution.
But for month after month the "Indian pro-
bem" stood upon the cover Of the periodical,
the solution being withheld, till one after an
other the Swans and amateurs gave it up. and
people generally came to believe that it had no
solution whatever in fact that white could not
give mate to black. Then the moves were
given. A bishop was sided off on one side. an
ancient castle that every one thought could not
he safely dispensed with, was showed aside on
the other couple Of pawns were pushed for
ward and eheckmate was the result.
There is very similar Indian problem now
on England's political chess board, and the
amateurs and savants that at first were so conf
dent Of solving it, are gradually giving II up.
II has become evident that what was proclaimed
as being nothing more than mutiny Of an
army is really a popular rebellion No sooner
are the rebels conquered on one side than they

ing of cannon, and powder in abundance, are
found in the recaptured forts. Splendid caval-
nv is more numerous than ever among the in
surgentr, and women are seen in the embrasures
assisting to work the guns. The resistance is a
desperate one. But worse than the rebels is the
climate 10 the English troops. With the Their
mometer at 1874 degrees In the shade, they are
marched backward and forward, till they drop
by the roadside, by the scions of the aristocra-
ey who have purchased rank. The blunders OF
the Crimea are evidently being repeated In
India In many instances. Yet we believe that
In the political, as in the chess-Indi problem,
white can checkmate black. We have conf
dence In John Bulls pluck and tenacity Of pur-
pose; but II is evident that India has 10 be

The ALLIED OPERATIONS IN CHNA.-The sd-
vices from China received by the Persia go to
show that the English commanders there are
making very nearly the same bungling piece of
work which they did in the Crimea. We have
not yet received the French accounts of the
proceedings at the mouth Of the Pei-Ho; but it
In evident from the correspondence OF the
English press that matters were sadly managed
on the part Of john Bull. With some twenty
small gunboats, only two--and those Of the
largest class-were at first taken with the expe-
dition TO the shallow Gulf of PecheH. When
these stuck on the bar, while the French went
into the river, Lord Elgin sent to the south for
some OF the smaller vessels. The telegraph
now announces that the forts at the mouth Of
the Pei-Ho have been captured. What will be
the next step Of the allies is not clear. They
may advance on Pekin, or they may wait for
commissioners to be sent down from the Vel
low Throne to treat with them.
At Canton they seem 10 have done no better
than at the Pei-IIo. An attempt to drive the
Chinese soldiers from the heights In the neigh
horhood had failed, and the braves we're

facts, the London TINES comes 10 the
conclusion that English affairs In China are
not in the best hands II SCENE that there are two
heads to the English forces there, and that d.
vided command produces lie usual results.
Wherever the British act in conjunction with
the French their usual stupidity and want Of
fertility in resource seems 10 stand out in much
bolder relief than Il does where they act alone
We cannot but compare the proceedings Of
the allies in the invasion Of China with those Of
our troops In the invasion Of Mexico. As soon
az General Scots forces were ready, Commo-
dore Conner laid his plans and landed them
near Vera Cruz in a few hours, without o
casualty OF single blunder. They took the
city and then marched into an cnemy's country
ten times as well defended as China, without a
repulse, ending by capturing the capital In a
few months we penetrated that republic farther
than France, with all her appliances, has pene-
trated Algeria In eighteen years With equal
delay in making preparations, the allies do mo-,

haps however, they will now march forward
and occupy Pekin. as we did Mexico. weshall

The ENTENTE CORD1ALE IN THE TELEGRAPH
SoUADRoN-when the Atlantic Telegraph feet
sailed from Plymouth previous to the last unfor-
tunate attempt to lay the cable, the London
Times came out with severe criticism on the
capacities of the United States frigate Niagara,
in comparison with those of her Majesty's ship
Agamemnon. The remarks Of the London jour
nal were not complimentary to the Niagara
She was pronounced an old tub, wholly unfit for
the service she was engaged in, and the worst
representations were uttered about her. The
terrific gale through which she passed so gal
lantly, and in which her consort suffered so
badly, tested her qualities pretty fairly and
put the critics of the Times to the blush. SO no
more of that. The correspondent Of the Times
on board the Agamemnon, in letter which we
publish to day, INDUCES in good deal Of bus
ter about the "cruel calumnies' and "injurious
statements of parties on board the Niagara,
relative 10 the conduct of the crew of the Bril-
fish vessel during that storm. Whether these
statements were true or false, or whether they
emanated from the Niagara or not, is matter
of very little moment but the spirit of the
Times correspondents letter suggests the ques-
tion-Can the cable be laid while such feeling
exists between the two ships? Does it not de-
monstrate that one ship only should be en-
ployed in the undertaking? While jealousies
and chickering's exist between the crews of the
two vessels all that science and skill can accom-
plish will be in vain.

The TEMPERANCE AND FREEOoM" STATE
CosvEN1Iok--GERRT SMITH Cooked AND
PRIMED-Ths Gerrit Smith Z" Temperance and
Freedom" Convention meets at Syracuse to-
day What this convention may be, and what
i. may do, we csr hardly venture to conjecture;
but from the temper of Mr.. Smith, the cham
pion of the movement, we think we may safely
predict that he will be run for Governor on the
independent radical out-and-out platform Of
tempe rance and freedom" At the late county
mass meeting of his partisans at Peterboro'
Mr.. Smith said: think there will be an indie
pendent nomination, and welcome it. think
it is needed to defend the right. have regret
ted to witness to day 60 much difference to
party" {" 1t is said this movement must not
be regarded as Of any moment, unless approved
and sanctioned By the Republican Convention"
but Just 60 fast as we baniah this despotism OF
party, we rise to the level Of our manhood"
Coed, Mr.. Smith, very good; but from the
black republican wolves in sleeps clothing who
were present, endeavoring to shape the action
of this Peterboro meeting, it is quite likely they
will be present in still larger force at
Syracuse to-day. The txeacheries and stul-
ti6caticrs of the Seward clique upon tempe
rance and freedom" have disguised very con-
siderable body of their sincere antiAlavery and
auti-liquor followers. The Seward managers
know 1t, and they cannot disguise their anxiety
concerning this Temperance and freedom"
convention. We hope, however, that the sim
cere believers in the bad faith Of the Sewardites
on the rum question and the fugitive slave ques-
ton will stick to Smith, and make him their
candidate for Governor against the field, 80
that we may have distinct issue with the black
republicans upon their favorite hobbies Of "ten'
perance and freedom" Give 1t to them, plump
and square, and let us see exactly where they
stand. In this view, whatever may be the issue
of this Smith Syracuse Convention, let Mr.
Smith stick to his Independent ticket, and one
good effect at least will be achieved in the
wholesome Lesson which will follow in Novem
Der to the treacherous and trimming Seward
pipelayers and caucus and lobby managers.
