The Jockey Club Opening Day.

The April weather of yesterday, with its
alternate sunshine and show ers, was at first
somewhat discouraging to all who are looking
for glorious time at to.day's opening sports
of the American Jockey Club; but, upon re-
Election. it was generally decided that we are
all the more likely to have bright skies to-day,
while the thorough sprinkling conferred by
yesterdays showers will have thoroughly laid
the dust and freshened the verdure. There
fore, should the Clerk of the Weather not
frown again to-day, his gloomy fits Of the past
week will rebound to the general advantage
and call 60 merry as marriage bell"
The Belmont, Jerome, Littell, Morris, Deni-
son and other horses of nearly equal celebrity,
are entered for the grand Belmont Stakes,"
the third race of the afternoon, the competi-
tors booked amounting to about fifty in num-
ber. The hurdle race and "Fordham Stakes" I"
which lead the programme of the day, will
also be dashingly contested. The Board Of
Stewards for the spring meeting COM
annals of good fellowship are each Of them
'sworth O thousand men" and if misty old
Pluvius, god of the rain, will but gallantly
yield the course to ruddy-faced Flora the
scene of to-day will surpass all like occasions
that have preceded it. Extra trains in abun-
dance, special horse cars cars on all The cohverg-
ing lines, hacks, cabs wagons and "shandey-
dams" will convey the multitude and no
doubt the procession of elegant equipages
occupied by our republican creme de la creme
will be something bewildering. Diana and all
her nymnphs in the l latest t styles and tissues,
whirling past with landau and four, and
Adonis, in white hat and gloves couleur dc
5uerre frais, will compose most Arcadian
picture, truly. All the youth and beauty OF
the great metropolis who can get away this
morning will be up betimes and vending gayly
forth to the groves and glens of green old
Westchester and its hippic Eden in Jerome
Park.

clearly points out in the present crisis in that
island, to show that we ought to give all the
aid possible to the insurgent patriots; but oil
this is apparent to every right-thinking and
patriotic American.
The able report of General Banks, which is
highly creditable to his head and heart, cannot
fail to have a great influence upon Congress
and the people as well as abroad. 1t will
cnlighten and convince European nations as to
the feeling and position of this country on the
Cuban question. 1t will inspire the Cuban
patriots to renewed exertions. 1t will 60 far
to convince Spain that she must part with
Cuba. 1t may lead to change in General
Grants Cabinet; for how can Secretary Fish
presume to hold Office with such damaging
record against his un-American and weak
policy in this matter? Both the American
people and foreign nations will look with deep
interest upon the action Of Congress when the
report Of General Banks from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs is reported.

ANOTHER FINANCIAL PANAoEA.-The agent
of the Free Banking Association of this city
was before the Committee on Banking and
Currency yesterday with proposition to fund
the public debt, stimulate industry, protect
labor against capital and to establish uni

objects the Free Banking Association think
can be accomplished by adopting their views,
but the Banking and Currency Committee ap-
pear to be oblivious of the fact, and accord
ingly gave the bill the go-by.

AMENDMENTs TO THE TARIFF LAws.-As
there is no possibility of passing any new
tariff bill this session General Schenck will
to-day introduce into the House, as an amend
ment to the bill reducing taxation, PROPOSE
ton materially reducing the duties on imports.
The amendment comprises sub stantially the
tariff bill as agreed upon by the House in Com
mttee of the Whole with an extended free
list, including drugs, chemicals and articles
not produced in this country, or which do not
enter into competition with American indus
try. The duties on tea, coffee, sugar and
other articles Of prime necessity are greatly
reduced, as are also those on iron and iron
manufactures, steel and other goods of general
CONSUMPTION.

OUR SPECIAL EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE
supplies very interesting exhibit of Old
World affairs as they presented to our writer's
on the 2lst of May. From Rome we have an
important statement regarding Napoleon's
latest effort to influence the Council fathers by
means of his peculiar system Of politico-re-
lgous propagandism-a pamphlet" issued
from the hands of the State printer in Paris.
England's tendency towards legislative de-
mocracy, which will reflect the wants and feel
ings of the masses in representative body
similar to the United States Congress, is also
noted.

Congress Yesterday.

The reported massacre of Jews in Roumania
excited the sympathies of the Senate yester-
day, and Mr.. Sumner offered resolution call
ing upon the President for any information In
the State Department regarding these reported
outrages. Mr. Spragues great financial mind
fully compr ehended the situation, and he pro-
ceeded to enlighten the Senate on the cause Of
these difficulties which arose from the fact that
the Jews of Roumania possessed all the brains,
all the lands and all the wealth of that coun-
try, while the Gentiles were poor, ignorant,
hard-worked, imbecile set, envious of the sue.
cess of the Israelites-a fact which afforded
food for reflection for our own countrymen.
This little agrarian harangue from the Rhode
Islander, however, was lost upon the Senate,
which disregarded the warning and passed
Mr.. Summers resolution. The Indian Appro-
priation bill was taken up and amended by
appropriating six hundred and forty-five thou
sand dollars for various purposes and passed.
In the House, during the morning hour,
Mr.. Winchester offered o resolution disap-
proving of the outrages upon the Jews Of
Roumania, which was, on motion Of Mr..
Schenck, referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. The bill to reduce internal revenue
taxes gave rise to protracted and acrimo-
nious debate over proposed amendment tax
ing government bonds, the tax to be collected
at the Treasury at the time of paying the
interest. General Butler sustained the amend
ment with bis usual vehemence, and fairly
rivalled the democrats in his opposition to the
bloated bondholders. The amendment, how
ever, was defeated by vote of ll0t to 70, and
the bill went over for further consideration.
The effort to repeal the income tax was also
unsuccessful by most decisive vote.

other facts are needed to show that the Cubans
are entitled, according to the practice and
law of nations to recognition as a belligerent
power.
But there are other considerations which
should have weight with Congress and the
administration at Washington. The war, as
conducted by the Spaniards, is brutal in the
extreme. Their conduct of it ought to place
them in the position of barbarians and outside

If nothing else could induce our government
to interfere these should for we, as one of
the great nations of the world, should defend
the rights of humanity and principles of civili-
cation. Then, our own citizens in Cuba have
been outraged and massacred by the Spaniards
with impunity. The representatives of the
American government even have been COM
under q foreign flag. Our weak and timid
Secretary of State was compelled to admit in
despatch to Mr.. Sickles at Madrid, dated
June 30. 1869, that ''the Spanish authorities
in Cuba are impotent for the protection of the
lives of our citizens" Never was great
