were responded to by repeated cheers.
p Some of the most interesting features OF

An Ocean Race.

Three American yachts, the Vestd, Hem
riettd and Fleettcing, which have summer
pleasure sheds in New York harbor, were
to have started, yesterday, from New York
on their race across the Atlantic to Cowes
ISle of Wight. The stake is S90,OO0. Each
o. the daring little vessels has been distin-
guished in various regattas, and is backed
for heavy amounts by its friends. Each
will carry IL crew OF fourteen men, two
mates and boatswain. The Vesta is q
yacht of 2Ol tuns, the Flcetwing and Hen
rietta each 205. The last is owned and en-
tered by JAMES GORDON BENNETT.
The possibility Is that they may be heard
from, one of these days, by Jottie-dis-
patch.

The .Jacobin Spirit,

'OHIo" thus writes from Washington tC
the Cincinnati Enquirer respecting the
spirit of the Iacobins:
It is understood that leading Radical
Congressman have given the British Min
lister here assurances that the President
does not represent the wishes of the people
of this country toward Great Britain, and
that no attention outside of diplomatic
courtesy should be paid the Presidents de-
mandS for payment of the Alabama claims
The Radicals dread foreign war simply
because they fear it will restore the Union
on basis they are opposed TO. and, may be
deprive them of political power.
IL Is plain to be seen that, while thi,
feeling exists here against the President
on the part of Congress, that we cal
neither Vindicatc our claims against for.
eign government. nor SECURE stability nj
home. Like all intestine divisions ours In
vites outside aggression and contempt. II
is charged that the President wants u for.
eign war, and that Is reason enough fol
every Radical to be content to submit t.
any foreign humiliation that may be I'M
posed on us. The Radicals have become
the foreign party because the President |,
the champion of American rights agains
all foreign powers. Such Is the tendency
of malignant partisanship.

The Healthy Ffnancial Point.

The Secretary OF the Treasury urges n
return to the specie basis, at an earlier day
than many, who regard themselves rs pro-
found in the science of finances, are will
ing to sustain, as II matter of sound policy.
The Indications are that he will not be sus
taincd ny the Congressional Radicals
they rather are that he will be assailed by
At least an influential portion Of them, and
probably have his policy thwarted. The
vote of the House, on Monday, was qnite
significant OF this result; and IL was as
suggestive, that instead OF allowing the
volume OF national currency 10 be dimin-
ished thus removing serious obstacle to
specie payments it was In the interest OF
the REPRESENTATION party, who are com
bined on scheme for the creation of more
National Banks, aud the Issuing of one
hundred millions more of their irredeeInable
trash.
But, even with unanimous Congress to
sustain the Secretary, in his specie restO-
ration policy, to bring about the healthy
financial point which all the genuine inter
ests Of the country so urgently ueetfs, how
cOnld it be successful so long rs the doml-
nant party keeps its iron heel so firmly set
upon the necks of the impoverished South I?
To get back to sound currency, even
without obstacles of political character,
like the Radical spirit exhibited during the
last session Of Congress, and, at so early a
day, conspicuous in this, The road to II is
one of great pecuniary embarrassment. We
are on that road now, bnt what we shall
experience in trayersiBg 10 to the desired
point is difficult to foTetell. As cotempo-
Fary says, on this direct point, when we
bear in mind that IN years past the West as
wella the East, sold largely tO, the South,
and that the real aud solid growth Of the
North depends mainly upon the renewed
prosperity of that same South. the picture
which TINT section presents affords poor
encouragement for our future. With the
loss of labor they have sustained, theil
farms must dlapidate, their fields remain
untitled, their granaries continue empty,
and their progress In developing their re-
sources must be arrested. The political
condition of the country, the intolerance
of the conquerors, the prescription to
which the people are subjected, lntimidate
capital, paralyze enterprise, disOrganize Ia
Dor, and destroy hope and confidence. The
enormous tax on cotton diseourages pro-
ductlon and aggravates the financial em-
barrassments ofthe people. All this must
be changed before the North can recuper-
ate.

IsadIcaI Punishment of Radical

The dispatches, general and special, the
other day, astonished the country with the
announcement that the renowned, the loyal,
of the Freedmen's Bureau, for some Kind OF
misconduct, had been ordered. through n
branch of the War Department, to be
"rcprimnded," which had been done-ln a
model way, to-be-sure.
1t seems that at n recent court martial,
held at Raleigh, General wHrrrLEsEY was
sound guilty and sentenced to be rcpr-
manded on Il charge the first specification
OF which states that while he was Assistant
Commissioner of the Frcedmen's Bureau
for the state of North Carolina he became
pecuniarily interested in the cultivation of
II plantation, upon which were employed
0ie hundred HRd forty freedmen then under
his charge ~ II Bureau officer, he becoming
thus Interested, for his o,rn Jriodte profit and

rebuke General HOWARD advances the
novel doctrine that the cORpiction of an
officer is of itself sufficient punishment OF
the offender.
