MAY WE BE THERE TO SEE--It is intimated
by those who ought to know that there Ia to
be In few days a grand velocipede handicap
by and between Mr.. Horace Greeley, Mr.
Henry J. Raymond and Mr.. Charles A. Dana
the. winner TO be appointed Minister to England
by General Grant From the skill shown by
these gentlemen hitherto in running each other
down Il 10 expected there will be rare sport for
the lookers-on. Dana is the favorite at pre-
sent, from the astonishing skill he has shown
in balancing his newspaper between subscri-
bers Of different politics. Raymond's years Of
exercise on the fence, however, win be rare
help 10 him anda man who has won so many
turnip prizes as Greeley may be relied upon in
such an emergency for turn-up worth all the
rest.

There = but little now to chronicle in New
York theatrical movements beyond what the
HERALD has already announced. The sbdics-
tion Of Bateman, the original founder Of the
opera 6oaDs dynasty in the United States, has
been the event Of the week. and we have else
where indicated the marvellous and almost in
conceivable consequences that may hereafter
dow from the accession Of 81. Fisk, Jr., &
Co."to the proprietorship Of the ''Grand Opera
House." Meanwhile, under the management
Of Mr.. Birgfeld, LA Perichole" viii. at
present, remain, thanks to its indisputable sue
cess, the chief attraction. This week the
somewhat incongruous ballet Tin which, how
ever, Mile. de Rosa dances so admirably that
her disappearance will be greatly regretted)
will be replaced by new duo de 6ijoug, just
received from O6fenbach and to be sung by
Nine. Irma and M. Leduc. II is whispered
also that La Fleur de The" is to be rehearsed
in few days at the Grand Opera House.
Splendid costumes for la Fleur de The" are
being busily prepared for Mr.. Grau's French
theatre, in Fourteenth street, where, to-mor-
day evening, Nine. Rose-Bell, having re-
covered from her indisposition, will reappear,
and where Mile. Desclauzas has been lately
winning golden opinions, alike in ''La Grande
Duchesse, " in "Genevieve de Brabant' and in
sL'Eil Creve."
At Wallacks, where ssMuch Ado About
Nothing" is in preparation, 'Money" is UNDER
lined for tomorrow evening. At Niblo's
ssAfter Dark" is in the full tide Of success. At
the Broadway the Emerald Ring" enters
upon its last week. At the Olympic ''Humpty
Dumpty" has been thoroughly reconstructed.
AT the Bowery Palgrave Simpsons London
sensation, the BLACK Sheep at the Worrell
Sisters the 'sField Of the Cloth of Gold," and
at Woods Museum .'Ernani" continue to draw

for the first time, preparatory to the opening,
which is set down for the 25th instant.
Finally, the opening Of Mr.. Booths superb the

in February. With the opening Of these two
theatres the present season will inaugurate a
new and eventfnl era in the history of the
American stage.

Parnguay-Thc Reported Defent or Lopez.
Our telegraphic dispatches report that Lo-
pez has been driven from villeta with heavy
loss, and has retired to the interior. On the
other hand, the Paraguayans claim a great vic
tory, after heavy conflict, in which the allies
are reported to have lost six thousand men.
All this lacks confirmation. We have had so
proven to be bitter defeats that we are slow to
credit any news from them. II Is certain that
Brazil Is on the eve of financial dissolution un-
less some shadow Of victory smiles upon her
efforts in Paraguay. An empty treasury and
the necessity of continuing the war demand
some success If another loan is to be raised in
the European market.
Granting that Lopez is or may be driven
from the bank Of the Paraguay river, we do
not see that the allies have gained the object
Of the war, which was--Article VI Of the bandit
treaty-"The allies solemnly agree not to lay
down arms, except by common consent, and
not until the actual government of Paraguay Is
overthrown," &c. This obliges them to follow
Lopen w sno Hscfioi "no" ho Teurcs Iron tne
river bank. As they cannot take their IRON
clads with them, Lopez will now have but about
half the force to contend against that he has
been engaged in battling for the past three
years. The interior positions are far stronger
than any on the river front and supplies close
at hand. II Is beyond doubt that the war Ia as
far from being ended as ever, unless, as is pos
sibIe, the Argentine Republic should withdraw
from the alliance and leave Brazil to complete
the failure.

THE PROPOSED OCEAN YACHT RAoE.-We
publish to-day from our London files some in
teresting correspondence in relation to the
ocean yacht race recently proposed by Mr..
Ashbury, of the English yacht Cambria, with
few referential remarks of those papers. Mr..
Ashbury seems very anxious to sail Mr.. Steb-
bins Phantom, yacht smaller than his own,
but is not so eager to tackle any Of the other
vessels belonging to the club. We propose
that Mr.. Ashbury send direct challenge to
Mr.. George Osgood's Fleetwing, which is about
the size Of the Cambria. We are willing to
trust our laurels to the Fleetwing in an Attain
tic race, and will leave the Phantom to take care
of the America cup in our home waters. The
Fleetwing is not unknown to fame. She sailed
in the famous race in December, 1867, and
many still think that she would have been vic
torious in that contest had it not been for the
unfortunate accident that befell her of losing
portion of her crew.

Mr.. HENRI DE RocHEFoRr, Of Lanterne no.
toriety, is reported to have arrived at Florence
en- route for Madrid, in order to be present at
the meeting Of the constitutional Cortes. A
Diogenes has long been wanted in Spain, in
order to find the ~s'right man for the right
place." and perhaps this may be the object
of the author of the Lanterne's visit to that
country. He has our sincere wishes for his
success.

A MUss IN HIGH LIFE.-Recent dispatches
inform us that the Minister Of Greece has
been refused participation in the Conference
Of the great Powers, now sitting in Paris.
The Minister alluded to is Mr.. Rangabe, who,
when on diplomatic mission to the United
States some time back, made use of rather
vehement language at an official reunion held
in New York respecting the Emperor and his
policy in the East. Napoleon has good
memory and faithful reporters, and doubtless
has not forgotten this incident.

BEUsT AND BIsMARcK.-It is evident that
Baron Beust is "a source of much un-
easiness to the Prussian government. Bis
marck has regarded him unpleasantIy for
some time past, and the rumor that the Aus
trian Prime Minister intends to encroach on
the Principalities, to make up for past Austrian
losses in venetia, is not calculated to promote
friendly relations between the two governments.

The SPANISH ELEcTroNs. Atlantic
cable dispatches received last night inform us
that the elections In Spain, so far as heard
from, show large majoritics for the government
candidates. This was to have been expected,
and the fact that the elections were attended
with no act Of violence---at least none are re-
ported to have occurred-indicates that the
sentiment Of progress auimates the Spanish
people.

, NOMINATION OF Ex-Governor FENToN FOR
UNITED STATES SENAToR.-It will be seen by
our Albany dispatches that Ex-Governor
Fenton has been nominated by the republicans
in caucus as their candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed Senator Morgan.
The vote stood fifty-two for Fenton and forty
for Morgan. The vote was finally made unani-
nous. This is triumph Of the anti-Weed
faction. Weeds acrimonious and calumnious
assaults upon Governor Fenton undoubtedly
contributed to this result.

Negseiaesoa.
The cable despatch tells US that the treaty
between the United States and England for the
settlement Of the Alabama claims has been
signed. This b the end Of the dining and
wining that have been going on for some time
in England between Reverdy johnson, in the
character Of Brother Jonathan, and John Bull
in his most complacent mood. John buu
Is willing to pay the Alabama claims on
condition that we let him Off from the
acknowledgment that he was wrong In con-
ceding belligerent rights to the rebels.
He il willing to give up the spoil, but the
principle sticks in his crop. He is somewhat
in the predicament of Falstaff when pressed
by Prince Hal on the robbery question
though reasons were as plenty as blackber-
ries' he would not give one upon compulsion.
We are not sure but this Is the best plan
to settle the question on, for the simple reason
that 1t gives us our due and leaves the princi-
pie in the exact position that will enable us to
take satisfaction in kind whenever an oppor-
tunity may occur.
The treaty has yet to pass its final ordeal
before tho Senate Of the United States, to
which body it was yesterday transmitted by
the President, and we do not feel at all
assured that it will be permitted to pass
without question. We have held to the
position that it was for the highest interest
of Great Britain to settle the belligerent
rights question in q sense opposed to
the granting Of these to minor combatants.
In that way the great commerce which
the British flag now covers on every
ocean would have received new guarantee
and sailed in greater safety. Now we have
only to grant belligerent rights to any petty
community that chooses to resist Englands
power, and the sea may swarm with cruisers
like the Alabama and rovers like Semmes.
They will find British ship almost upon
every wave and may gorge themselves with
prey. This will be the shortest and cheapest
way to restore the carrying trade to our flag
and our seamen, and John Bull may find that
he has made as great mistake with Dandy
Johnson in England as the radicals found they
had made with Andy Johnson in the White
House.

The Bohsmlsns have made . bad job Of IL n
endeavoring to blaokmail or ebuse Dslmonico,
whose long experience in the restaurant busi-
ness has rendered him familiar with suoh
scamps and their operations, and who has
frequently had occasion to drive them from
his lunch counter. One of the organs ol
these Jeremy Diddlers has recently got itself
into hot water by general raid on the busi-
moss men Of the city, commenced about tho
time Of the holidays, in order to enable it 70
pick up few dollars and to lay in stock Of
groceries and whiskey for New Years. Among
others this Bohemian crowd endeavored to
ssstrike" Delmonico, and, not finding him a.
easy victim, slandered him in shameful
manner by charging that he swindled his Gus
toners by selling spurious brandy and Other
bogus liquors in place Of the genuine articles.
In pretended analysis Of some Of Delmonico'a
stock these blackmailers gave the following
false description -'sName Of proprietor, Del
monico; location of business, corner of Cham
bers and Broadway; description of liquor,
brandy; contents, fnsil oil; quality, bad; re-
marks, an imitation brandy" The Bohemians
also described Delmonico's whiskey as con-
tanning 'sfusil oil" and .sbad" in quality.
Of course such well known business man
as Delmonico, who has made half dozen
fortunes through his honorable dealings and
the superior quality Of his wines and iiqsors
during long business career, would not be
injured by any such slanders, but he neverthe-
less determined to bring the blackmailers to
their knees and to compel q retraction and
apology. These have been made in an humble
enough manner, under penalty Of split ears,
but still the Bohemian organ has not published
Delmonico's letter. Delmonico should compel
them to do this, and should be satisfied with
nothing less. The assault upon him and other
honorable merchants Of the city was most
scandalous, and no amount Of whining retrac-
tion should save the blackmailers and libellers
from the consequences of their rascally con-
duCt

: CreasIng the wheels.

One of our Washington correspondents has
given full account of Mr.. Martins promised
or threatened revelations as to the Alaska
'job" According to this account while the
Alaska treaty was being negotiated Mr. Sew
ard advised Baron Stoeckl ''to do something to
oil the wheels of legislative machinery" so az
to multiply the chances of getting the matter
through Congress. The following are men
toned among the items Of expenditure in the
case TO an ex-public printer, to the Wash
ington correspondent of New York radical
morning paper, to the Washington special cor
respondent of Baltimore paper, and to Chi
cago democratic morning paper, five thousand
dollars each; to Washington correspondent,
who is on the list as belonging to the HERALD,
but who is known to be attached to Cincinnati
paper, ten thousand dollars; to representa-
tive of the Jones family, and to an ex-Commis-
sioner Of Pensions, ten thousand dollars each;
to conservative morning paper in Baltimore,
twenty thousand dollars; to an Eastern Sena-
tor, who had influence with prominent Jour
nal, twenty thousand dollars; to near rela-
tive Of old Thad Stevens, forty thousand dol
lars; to an Eastern member of Congress, one
hundred and ifty thousand dollars to another
Eastern member Of Congress, two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars; to the chief Of
Washington diplomatists. two hundred thou
sand dollars, and to the New York Lobby
King, five hundred thousand dollars. But this
last item looks fatal to the authenticity of these
revelations. Martin must have stumbled into
mares nest He can never make the public
believe that Baron Stoeckl would have deemed
IL necessary to devote half . million dollars to
securing the presence of old Thurlow Weed At
Washington and his promise to say something
to somebody in favor OF purchasing Alaska
In proportion TO the other alleged payments
FIVE thousand, or even five hundred, would
have been nearer the mark than five hundred
thousand dollars for the superannuated "King
Of the Lobby" Our Washington correspondent
is fully warranted in saying that Martins story
seems cxtravagant throughout
