Turkey aud Grcece-Thrcnseoed Collision


Our cable dispatches Of yesterday warrant
the inference hat hostiities by this time may
actually have broken out between Turkey and
Greece. The Panhel!enion, Greek ship, has.
for some time past in variety Of ways, been
rendering very elective assistance 10 the rebel
Candiotes TIE Turkish government has
hitherto been pleased to wink at the matter.
II appears, however, that the doings Of the
PanheIlenion are no longer TO be tolerated. A
Turkish man-of-war has been sent out in pur-
suit of her. The capture OF The PanhcIlenion
does not necessarily imply that war shall be
the result. II ID extremely difficult, however,
TO conceive OF a collision Of tho two ships
apart from The actual commencement Of war
between the two Powers. II Turkey and
Greece do go to war we may safely say that
we have Witnessed the beginning Of what may
prove to be the end OF the Eastern Question.
We shall see

The Steamboet Expias,nu on the sIississsppi.
We published yesterday the painful news OF
the explosion OF the steamboat David White
on the Mississippi river, by which thirty per
sons were known TO be killed and sixty-6vc in
all were missing. Steamboat explosions on
the Mississippi or on our other great rivers have
becn too frequent at oil times. There has
always been TOO little attention paid 70 the con-
dition Ct the boilers and machinery and too
much recklessness of human life, especially on
the Western waters. Life hss been held very
cheap there. But there must be greater dan
ger now OF such fearful accidents. A great
many OF the steamboats,. particularly on the
Mississippi must have got greatly out OF re-
pair during the war. A good many Of these
probably have been put into use again or kept
in use when totally unsafe We want a strin-
gent inspection Law, with heavy penalties for
violating il. II should be known that every
steamboat is perfectly safe, in boilers, ma
cainery and hull, before il is permitted to leave
port. Unicss something be done TO prevent
such catasirophcs rs that Of the David White
we shall hear Of many more among the old
wornout steamboats, plying on the Western
rivers. We call upon Congress to look into the
matter and give us proper inspection law.

The Raid Upon City Property-A Hitch I'm the
New Pest Once lob.

The Raid Upon City Property-A Hitch I'm sbe
New Pest Once Job.
There appears TO be some hitch in the new
Post Ohice job which Mayor Hoffman has had
under his especial charge since the last State
election. The proposition to sell a portion of
the City Hall Park for onesixth of its value,
and to choke up with buildings one Of the few
breathing places of the city, has met with
popular opposition not anticipated by the
originators Of the scheme. In the Board OF
Councilmen yesterday Mr.. Gilmore presented
a resolution to rescind the resolution adopted
by that body in December last, ceding TO the
United States the lower end Of the Park as
Post O6ace site for the sum Of five hundred
thousand dollars, for the reason, as set forth in
the preamble, that this amount is not equal to
0ne-ffth Of the value Of the property, and that
the proposed location, from the noise, bus
tie and confusion, and from the danger
Of the crossings, would be inconvenient
and unsafe for the public. Certain Of
the Councilmen offered a strong but futile
opposition 10 the resolution, motion after mo-
ton to get rid Of it being hurriedly made and
lost, and il was referred 10 special committee,
consisting Of Councilmcn Gilmore, Lamb and
Hart
II IS 10 be hoped that the Board of Council
men win adopt the resolution, when it is re-
ported back iavorably by the committee, with
out any unnecessary delay. The Job should
be nipped in the bud. and it can be done in
this manner without the trouble and expense
OF legal proceedings. The proposed site is
found 10 be undesirable in every respect inde
pendent Of The unauthorized and outrageous
attempt to dispose OF property set apart for
the health. and recreation Of the public and
pledged Tor shc nhy debt, at one-sixth of its
actual value. The architects find that no fitting
building can be erected there without setting
il back further than the site extends Every
person OF common sense perceives that
with the crowd of stages, cars. coaches,
trucks and other vehicles constantly passing
The lower end Of the Park on both sides
Post Cfficc built nearly even with the street
would be inconvenent, and at the busiest
times Of the day almost inaccessible. The
Board OF Councilmen cannot do more popu-
iar or more proper act than to rcscind the
resolution agreeing to the sale of the site.
The Post Office Department should set about
finding some other location for the new Post
Office at orcc. Whatever expense they may
incur for plan, !or the Park site will be thrown
away. The Asor House or 81. Pau!'s chapel
would be convenient .. approach afford ample
room for dre building, witt N inner court

approval. Stcwor;s building ON The corner Of
Chambers street has also been spoken OF. and
either OF these would make mere desirable
location than The Park, even II al! the difficult
ties 10 the way OF tho sale OF the property
conld be removed. A

DIR MEHICAN POLICY.

The Herald, noticing the report that Napo-
leon is about to send feet to Vera Cruz to
inquire as to the health Of his Minister In
Mexico, says:
eff 1t be tho intention Of France. backed by Austria
and other Powers, to reopen war against Mexico, IL
will be impossible for the United States to look quietly on
and see neighb0ring republic crushed by the onsa1gns
OF European monarchy We shall be forced TO order Gen
Grant 70 cross the Rubicon and make fnai ana Dod
stand in assisting Mexico to fight out ON her own sO ne
wage for the overthrow OF the progressive civilization OF
this continent"
Have MT we had about enough OF Mexico
After the kicking that Juarez has just had 80
scientifically administered. it does seem that
we might revert to the good old George WASH
ington policy of minding our own business Tor
at least year. Mexico has just told us, in the
face of the world. that she owes us nothing
that she resents as insulting our interference
TO save the life of one of her prisoners-that
she has thrown off the yoke Of France and
Austria by her own valor. and will manage
her own affairs without giving heed to our inter
meddling. Suppose we allow reasonable time
for dgesting this dose before we squander the
lives and treasure of our people in lighting
Europe in defense of such progressive civlll-
"zaton" as has just been evinced In the
butcheries of Zacatecas, Queretaro, and the
Mexican capital-what would be the harm

The Presidents invention should now be ex-
hausted. His Message to Congress, which we
print to-day, furnishes the last argument
against the Reconstruction laws that industry
could manufacture. 1t is a financial argument,
and 40 extraordinary and original that Mr..
Johnson deserves especial compliment for in
genuity. The United States, it appears, in es-
tablishing military rule in the South, is to be.
come responsible for all the debts incurred
by the ton States before the Re-
bellion. We are in for $lOO,O00OOO
more. A terrible dilemma Is presented to Con
gress-if we assume obligations so large, the
credit of the nation will be seriously impaired ;
if we don't our action will be a violation OF
good faith. The country is to be ruined OF
disgraced. Seriously, we believe that there are
few men in America who would have the
effrontery to send such Message to Congress,
and are not surprised that in the Senate not
one Democrat could be found to sustain Mr.
JohnsOn's ridiculous hypothesis.

CALIFORNIA.

George C. Gorham, the Republican Union
candidate for Governor of California, was
nominated, after desperate struggle, 10y 167
votes to 134 for John Bidwell, late Representa-
tive in Congress. Mr.. Gorham was opposed by
most of the wealth and nearly all the journals
of the party, and there was considerable dissat-
isfaction when his nomination was announced,
and an effort to get up rival Union candidate,
which we believe has subsided. Some of the
old Dons will probably vO.e the Democratic
ticket; yet we feel quite confident of Gorhams
election. The boys like him. and will work for
his triumph, because it is their own. The
Union candidates for Congress appear to be
able and popular.
New-York tribune., 1867-07-16

M. Rouher, in the name of the French Gov
eminent, has declared in the Corps Legislatif
that France h indifferent TO German unity.
This probably means the withdrawal of all
protests against the reunion of Bavaria, Wur-
temberg, Baden, and Hesse- Darmstadt with
the North German Confederation, which began
with the military conventions cOneluded in
August, 1865, and was advanced by the new
Customs Treaty few weeks ago. The eau
tious, and therefore slow progress toward the
reunion of South and North Germany, was
solely due to the expected opposition of France.
If the formal consent of France to German
unity has been secured, it is possible that Prus-
sa has likewise made some concessions on her
part to France.

THE NEu.JpRsEY SUFFRAGE CONVENTION

THE NEU-JRRSET SUFFRAGE CONTENTION
On the Odd of this month the people of New
Jersey will hold at Trenton q State COnven-
ton. for the purpose of discussing the question
of impartial suffrage, and deyising measures to
strike from their laws all political prescription
ON account Of race or color. This il tho result
of the failure Of the House OF Representatives, Mt
ils late session, TO strike the word white from
the Constitution. April 10, the resolution TO
that effect was def eated by vote OF y TO 70,
thirteen of the opposition being. to the dis
credit of the party. Republicans. This failure
inspired the friends of justice to more ener-
getic action; they resolved TO appeal from the
minority of the Legislature TO the people, and
early in May State Convention was called TO
meet at Trenton. June T. Delegates were
elected from many counties, and the local Re
publican organizations generally sustained the
principles. May Il, the Republicans of Bergen
adopted the following resolutions. fairly repre-
senting the growing sentiment throughout the

objects of the Convention, decided that June
