The DUBLIN BANQUET TO john BKr0HT.-The
dinner rendered to the great English reformer
in Dublin has brought out the important fact
that not only the people but the Catholic
hierarchy and clergy are entirely with him in
the movement that he has commenced. Letters
have been received from Archbishop Cullen,
DR.. Cantwell, Bishop Of Meath; DR.. O'Hea,
Bishop Of Ross; DR.. Walsh, Bishop Of Ossory;
DR.. Conaty, Bishop Of Fillmore; DR.. Delany,
Bishop Of Cork; DR.. Feeny, Bishop Of Kilfencra;
DR.. Keane, Bishop Of Cloyne, and . number
Of other high ecclesiastics, heartily approving
his course and thanking him for the service he
has rendered to Ireland. Thus endorsed, Mr.
Bright's mission to Dublin cannot fail to be a
highly successful one. The unanimity mani
tested in his regard by the Irish people is .
proof that the movement that he has COM
mencsd is not considered . sectional one, and
that II will speedily absorb all others. By the
time Mr.. Stephens arrives on Irish shores he
will find that his occupation IS . military
organizer Is gone, and that his Quaker rival
has cut the ground from under him. John
Bright Il not less Of . revolutionist than Ste
phsns, but bis ways are practical ones and
compromise no interests save those opposed TO
popular progress. Under his guidance the
Irish people can be trained into the habit Of
independent political thought and action, the
only things that have been hitherto wanting TO
render them happy and prosperous

INDICTMENT or STANFORD CoNovER."-Justice
Is likely to be meted out to one Of the prin-
cipal conspirators who is alleged to have been
employed by Judge-Advocate Holt in the
scheme to connect JEFF Davis with the assas-
sination Of Mr.. Lincoln; for We observe that
the Grand Jury Of the District Of Columbia
have indicted the redoubtable Sanford Con-
over (alias Dunham) for perjury. The facts
in this case are, doubtless, remembered, and
no one will regret to see brought to punish
ment such an infamous character as this man,
who, IL he was not the concocter OF tho hor-
rible charges against Davis, was, at least, the
plant and willing tool Of persons in q higher
sphere and the principal agent in the dis
graceful transaction. Wherever the blame rests
for concciviug and working up this conspiracy
against the life and repatstion Of the ex.Presi-
dent Of the so called 6onfsderacy, II is morally
certain that the man Conover did his part Of
the business boldly and unscrupulously,
though The dtnoucment proves that he was moi
quite, Is reliable or IS cunning o. his en-
ploJers supposed.
The intimate connection Of Judge Holt with
this disrsputable affair has been the sub.
ject OF much comment The authenticity OF biz
letters TO Conovcr, which are In our posses.
sion, was al nrst denied by Judge Holt, but
upon comparing his note Of denial with the
letters to Conovcr, We found the handwriting
to be marvellously similar. Since We made
that fact public, which We did at the time, no
attempt has been made 70 deny the paternity

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE OPENING CHINA TO THE
WoRLD.-The cable kilograms published in yes
terday's HERALD announce the concession to
Americans by the Emperor of China Of the
right to lay cable from the mouth Of the
Amoor river to Shanghae, thus connecting that
commercial city with this country and Russia
by means Of the Collins line from San Fran
cisco to 81. Petersburg. A few years more OF
American enterprise like that OF the past do
cade will throw all Japan and China open 10
the world and develop an immense traffic with
those countries Doubtless further conces-
sions will be made by the Chinese for interior
telegraph lines, 90 that the news Of the whole
empire will eventually become public to ell
mankind, and the Chinese wall will be practi-
cally levelled. The action Of the Emperor In
this matter marks IN important era In the
progress Of the world and Of American enter
prise which ought not to pass unnotiosd.

TIE COhPTROLLERsHR EL5CTI0E.-One thing
has already been decided about the approach
Ing election for Comptroller-vis: who Is not
going to run. Brennan, the present ineum-
bent, has very properly and prudsntly de-
slined to be candidate for reelection, and
the "ring" d thus LEFT altogether in doubt q
to whom It shall nominate. Several persons
have been named, In the press and elsewhere,
In connection with the ONCE; and among these
are Mr.. Michael J. Connolly and Mr. Richard
B. Connolly, better known as "Blansying
Nike" and "slippery Dick" These gentle
men are very clever, genial and jovial Irish
men, first rate fellows ct st. Patrick's dinner,
friendly wake. . primary meeting or ward
election; full Of talent Of q peculiar kind that
makes them "just the mon for Galway" but
not for the Comptrollership. Financially, mem
tally and morally, they would be found incom-
potent for the position, which is entirely out Of
their line +; and our sensible citizens would de-
cldedly refuse to elect them, particularly
after the awakening at the recent elections.
The importance Of the office Of Comptroller
of this city and county cannot be over
estimated; and person should be selected to
oil 1t who combines personal integrity, fnan-
cial capacity, administrative ability, political
independence, a legal education and
thorough knowledge of the tricks, schemes,
devices, intrigues and knavery of the "ring"
and its supporters. There are many gentle
men whom we might name who have one or
two or three Of these indispensable qualiHca-
tlons; but we know Of only . single
candidate who has all of them and
Is also possessed Of q private fortune
sufficient to place him beyond the reach Of
temptation and above suspicion. That candi-
date is Judge George G. Barnard, native OF
this State, resident Of this city and in every
way an irreproachable nominee. He should be
Immediately nominated; and the late election
shows that be can be easily elected, in spite of
that opposition from the ''ring" which is to be
expected as the consequence Of Judge Bar
nard's hostility to corruption Of every kind.
This candidate has already been before the
people in that most trying of all positions
judge in our courts, and he will be as honest
and able Comptroller as he is learned
and upright judge.

The ATTEMPT TO ASsAssINATE COUNT
BIsMARCK-The name of the man who at
tempted to take the life of Count Bismarck,
the Prussian Minister, was Blind. Of him
and his attack ON the Minister newspaper

He must have been a most resolute charae-

OF the most frequented thorOughfares of the
capital, but, as appears from the more explicit
particulars which have but now appeared.

several persons who actively endeayOred to
seize him. The first ball he fired when the
Count was walking directly in front of him.
Before he could discharge his revolver a
second time tradesman of the name of Ella
had caught hold of him. While trying to
shake HIM off he fired his second and third
balls. Then Count Bismarck threw himself
upon him, holding down his right aim. Blind

against the chest of his intended victim, fred

armed Blind, who had still one ball left. He
had not been many hours in prison. when,
eluding the vigilance of the constable, sitting
by his side, he managed to commit suicide.

Letter from thu National Capital.
WASHINGTON, May "a, 1866.

WASHINGTON, May "a, 1866.
To the Editor of the Press:
The debate in the Senate upon the Consti-
tutional Amendment recently passed by the
House, has thus far progressed very leisurely,
and has excited no very great interest. 1t was
opened upon Wednesday the 23d inst, by Mr.
Howard of Michigan from the Committee of
Fifteen, in speech able and well considered,
but delivered with somewhat less than his us
ually rather formal precision and exactitude OF
expression. He is one of the abest members
of the Senate, and in the logical strength Of
his arguments he is equalled by few, and sur
passed by none of his fellow Senators. He
was followed on Thursday by Senator Stew
art, who having several times recast his plan
of reconstruction has brought it into genera.
accord with that of the Committee, except as
to the third section of the latter disfranchis-
ing rebels. 1t was well known before hand
that this section of the Committees Constitu-
tional amendment would not find general ia
vor in the Senate. 1t is worthy of notice that
each and all of the six amendatory PROPOSE
tions already brought forward in that body
discard this section; that of Senator Wilson
which provides that no 'person who has re-
"signed or abandoned, or may resign or aban-
"don, any office under the United States, and
"has taken or may take part in rebellion
against the government thereof shall be ell
"igible to any Office under the United States,
"or of any State" and that of Senator Clark
which provides that "no person shall be SEN
"ator or representative in Congress, or permit
tied to hold any Office under the government
"of the United States, who. having previously
"taken an oath to support the Constitution
"thereof, shall have engaged in any insurrec-
"tion or rebellion against the United States or
"given aid or comfort thereto" going farthest
in that direction. The other sections of the
proposed amendment seem likely to pass tbe
Senate. as they came from the Committee and
were adopted by the House. Although this
plan is not all the friends of freedom desire,
yet 1t appears to be as much as those very able
aud reliable statesmen, who have had the sub
ject under earnest consideration for months
deem it safe to attempt at the present june
ture. As between this scheme and the imme-
diase and unconditional restoration of the late
rebels to power proposed and urged by the
President, the loyal people of the country will
not need long to choose.
The Freedman's Bureau bill reported in the
House on the 22d by Mr.. Eliot has been yerv

that it can be passed by two-thirds vote in

the same great common principles.
