The National Express and Transportion Company. This is an action agaiust the Southern Express Company, of which so much has been said, of which Gen, Joseph Johnston was the the President. The action was brought by a Northern stockbol ler in this city to recover the amount ho subscribed, to enjoin them from making a further nsscssment, from earrying out a certain contract, snd for other relicl. The complaint sets out that prior to November, 1865, the plaintiff was induced by representations that the National Express Conr- pany was a corporation with a capital of $5,000,000; that they would guarantee the capital Sgninst Joss; and that the call would not exeved ton per cent, to o 000 shares, and that he has #inoe paid the ton per cent on bis shares. It then alleges that the company was not then incorporated but that the money sub- scribed was appropriated to the use of the company; that in November, 1205, they assumed the name of the National Ex- press Company, and used the funds subscribed inthe Company of fhat name, and were inegrporated on Dee. 12, 1865: that the Company has not complied with the terms of the net $0 as to exempt the subscribers from individual liabil- ity; that the plaintiff is claimed as a stockholder in the pew Company that the Company have made a third eall of five per cent, which they threaten to enforce by the sale of his shares; that the Qanifol of the Company is monopolized by persons in Maryland witl Virgiuia, who have administered its uifuias par- tinlly and unfairly that ne have mismanaged its business aud squandered its means in illegitimate operations that it Lus made an unfair contract with the President; that it is insol vent, and hus been Sompitied to borrew money nnd credit that its in this eity has been attached thut its expenditures excel its income; that it is kept in operation hy borrowing, for whieh large sums are paid. and stock given for less than its value; that the shareholders want it wound up; that the Com: any hs advertised the sale of the shares of delinguent stoek- Potders. and intends to exempt its favorites from the coeraive collection of assessments; that tho Legislature fyhith he Company was incorporsted in W65 wns an unogasti utfonal an unauthorized body, and the act ilegud and inv d. The aflidavit of the plaintiff atirms tho allegations of the complaint and says, in addition, that the Directors of the Com- pany intend the Northern stookholders to bear all the burdens of rd Compan and that it ehnll pass out their hands into tho control and possession of the Southern stockholders; that proceedings have wen initiated in Vieginia to dissolve and Wind up the Compony, and that its continuation I only desired by the tharn stockholders who wish to monopolize its prop- erty, while they would Lold Northern stockholders to their lia- oy on Foul Balis—Staxs 7 times, Randolph 6 times.

On Wednesday afternoon the grand match of the worice was played, it being the contest for the United States prizo—a handsome silver ball—the contestants being the noted Irvington Club of Irvington, N.

On this Somplaint and affidavit an injunction was issued re- straining the Company from collecting this assessment, from borrowing money, from selling stock and from carrying out the contract with the President, and the prepent motion is made by defendants to dissolve or modify the preliminary injunction issued in this ection against suid corporation about the 15th of Aufl last. The motion was made on the originsl papers on which the injunction was obtained, and was heard before Jus- tice Barnar b Taeniay The grounds taken by defendants were: First: That the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action; becatso (1) That it appears by the complaint that the plaintiff is not a stockholder; (2) That he 1s not a creditor-in-law, because ho has wot obtained a judgment agninst the corporation for his alleged claim. Necond That this Court has not jurisdiction, in this action, to grant the final relief upon the facts which the eomplaiut al- leges and demauds judgment for, (1) To declare the defendant, w is a foreign corporation, insolvent, and to ask this Conrt to appoint a ver to wind up its affairs. (2) To de- clare that defendant is not a corporation, for the reason that the Legislature of Virginia, frome whom it obtuined its charter, was not a legislative body, legally organized or convened, and had no authority to create such corporation. (3) To sustain the acts of this defendant, or its officers, in a foreign State, in which it appears to have been created, for the recson that the same is now mismanaged and insolvent, and could not profitably con- duet any further business.

THE ALLAIRE WILL CASBE—THE SUMMING UP OF COUNSEL AND THE JULGK 8 CHARGE. Cricurr.—Before Mr. Justico DAVIS, Francis W. Roe et al agt. A. T. Calicia Allaire, execntrix.— The announcement that the summing up in this case would com- mence Joterday, cansed a larger attendance than usual Several es were among the number present. Mr. Samuel C. Lyon, associated with Mr. James T. Brady, as counsel for plaintiffs, stated that before SUTIAREIID the summing up, the counsel for the contestants requests the Judge to charge: 1st. 1 the testator does not subscribe an instrument in the resenee of the witnesses, and each of them, the signature must ghown to them, aud identified and recognized by the testator and in some sppropriate and proper manner acknowledged by kim as his signature. 2d. That the statute contemplates the subscription, or the acknowledgment thereof, in the presence of the witness, and the tion of the instrument as a will, us two distinet acts, and both are necessary to its due execution, Mr. Lyon referred to the statutes and quoted authorities in support of his request, {x Surrogate Bradiord contended that no attestation clause Was necessary. Mr. James T. Brady then summed up the case on behalf of the plaintiffs. He spoke substantially as follows: This case comes home 10 us, to our hearts, to our sonls. ‘We all recognize the solemnity of death. Mr. Webster said, “Kings or Emper- ors, we all must die, and the act of death reduced us to one level. The testator in this case was u man with whom he had long been acquainted. He was a fine type of the saccessful American mechanic. Here, present, is Lis blind daughter, and be, a mau of wealth, bequeathed her, according to this will what 1 $100. Think of it! look at this blind woman his favor. ite danghter. That is the case in a nutshell. Could this man, this good man, unless blinded by bis second wife, make such a will, under such circumstances! This will was not exccated according to the forms of law, and if it had been, it was oh tained by andue influence. Mr. Brady here read the statutes in relation te the proper attestation of wills, and contended that this will was not executed in conformity therewith. Mr. Brady them recapitulated the testimony of Mr, Hart. Tow could this old man remember wow what he could not re member years ago in this case! His very wanner on the wit ness stand showed the greatest indecision in relation to his memory of facts connected with the case. In 185% he was very undecided in relation to the transaction. He had said at one time that he did pot remember siguing the will, as a witness, at all. He was also very uncertain in relation Mr, Allaire's signa re. Br. Brady read to the jury the propositions which Mr. Lyon had asked the Court to charge, and said if the jury answered those questions as they ought to be euswered the will would be broken, as it ought to be. If this estate was divided, as it ought to have been, In his humble judgment it would have been divided into sixths, so that all those entitled might have re. ceived their due share. Of course all men have a right to do what they like with their own, but the circumstances of this case went to ‘show thet this will was made in gungic} second with what might have been expected. This wife managed affairs so as to make her Lusband con: sider her a necessity to his happiness, and fostered in his bosom a spark of unkindness toward his ehildren by his firet wife. The most absurd reasons are advanced on the other side for the making of this extraordinary will. The most trivial disputes or differences between Mr, Allaire and his children are magnified iuto causes sufficicut to cause him to make this will. For years he was never permitted to be alone with any of his children by his first wife. This second wife said before the will was opened that she did not know its eon- tants, but subsequently, and before it was opened, said she did, Mr. Brady then read testimony from Commodore Vanderbilt to show that the greatest kinduess existed between Mr, Allaire and his children by his first marrioge, before the second mar riage took place. Mr. Brady ciosed by asking the jnry to act in this matter accordifig to the dictates of their heads and earts. Ex-Surrogate Bradford commenced by allading to the Van. derbilt’’ evidence, and said that the smuidifg up by Mr, Brady was credit to him, but that he had omitted touching on some of the points that he consilered it was essentiul to evidence. There were circumstances in this case thot should make us careful how we set. There are skeletons in all homes, Each man is the best judge of his own fimily affairs, and if we are to take it upon ourselves to break wills, made by persons iu sound mind ant leaving their property to those whom they prefer, then there is no use of testamcutarylaw. Throckmorton, the eldest son, does not contest the will, neither does Mrs. An- drews, one of the daughters; of all the children by the first wife, Mrs. Roe alone, 80 to speak, contests the will, These children did not met, neeording to the evidence, as they ought to act. ‘They did not visit thelr sick mother dming her fies they did not visit their father to comfort kim.

The question is, was this will made in substance sccordmg to the statute? This will wns sub scribed, it is coutended, in presence of at least two wituesaos. The attestation clause of the will is properly drawn by a per gon evidently qualiidd. If will be your dnfy to sa it was executed iu the presence of Mr, Helsoy, Ast Mr. Hart, the pooond witness to the will, the question is, takis testimony into consideration, what weight shonld given to it? Mr. Hart testifies that tho testator wroto his name to the will, or apparantly did so while standing on a form, so that the witness could not see what ho wrote, bus that immediately after writing he asked the witnosses to append their names. all the circnmstances of the case into consid. 1 believe that the will was proporly executed, substantially according to the statute. testimony somewhat shaken by his timo ago, that he had no remembrance of tho signing the will, but ho frankly admitted that to recollect the circumstance, and had in a The credibility of this witness is not ques uedtion for you to determine, If you are ony, you will be able then to say that resonce of both these atham, he is a wit Jury. Mr. Brady thon said statomont some circumstance of he had endeavor measure succeeded. tioned, but that is a satisfied with his test the will was substantially executed fn the witnesses. As to tho last witness, Mr. ness who has entirely forgotten the transaction. Dnt that would not be material if others gould provo his presence. Mr. Halsey cannot prove that, neither can Mr. Hart. Mr. Hart says that Mr. Tatham was not there at the timo of the signing. The question then is, can his signature be proved 1f his sig nature is proved it affords a presumption that he signed it, in the absence of any dircot proof that he did not. Mr. Hart testifies that he was not present when he signed. Yet Mr. Tatham may havo grad his name olsewhers, and the will would then, in that cass, have been properly attested if ighud in the of Mr. Allaire; but ii'makes no mnterial y ence about this witness's signature, if those of tho other wii nesses are considorsd satisfactory. In relation to the charge of under influence. Tt must he proved, to substantiate that charge, that the influence used was such ns to causo the [tin wot upon to act in the same manner 1s the enon would not who is attempting te control the person actad upon. To determine this it is necessary to take ail the circamsiances of the case previous to the making of the will futo consideration. All the evidence gous to prove that Mr. Allaire was a man of consider- able wental caliber and force of character and vot likely to bo swayed agninst his judgment. He is conce od to have been a man of vigorous mental power, a business Man and a mcchanie of gening. Ho lost his first wife is 185. Tho lady who alter rd bocaune bis wife was an inmate of the family from 1828, being thon "18, She continued an inmate o his family till 1847, when she 1 od him. At some period of this time he Lecame attached, perhaps doatingly attached, to this lady. Sho became his wife and the mother of his child, and he became very fond—and perhaps foolisidy so—of her. On sch evidence alone io Jury would be entitied to ove rthrow the will. The exorcise of wife's power in gaining the afisction of a husband, in caring for him and nursing him, is not undue inflo- ence. Sho may be very affectionate, and draw to her the whole affection of her husband. But it is the policy of the law to en- coursge such attachments. Chancellor Kent had laid down this na 4 The acquirement of wealth aud the desis of shar it 1s ono of the shields of old age. Tt wing for it that kindness of treatment which it requires when other attrictions are failing, Tho absolute power of the disposal of goods, con with the desire of gain, is a great inducement to its kind and affectionate treatment. That is not undue influ ence in itself, but the state of mind may be con sidered, in connection with other maticrs, as bearing on the nestion. This will, ‘made in £50, left to one son by the first wife a farm worth $18,000; to the other chil dren by tho first wife 8100 each to the second wifo his whole boat with these exceptions for her life with a remainder to wr child. This will looked from their standpoint being indis- creot. Our sympathies were exeited by the position of Mrs. Roe, a blind widow, the deughter of this rich nan, leit to strug- glo with poverty. But it was pot a question for the jury to ia- quire into whether Mr. Alleiro noted justly and kindly. That was no reason why they should interfure. They could only in quire whether this or was Mis will. And in considering the circumstances attending it they were to remember tho will was made in 1850. All circumstances after that time had no eflect but hy way of relation and illustration of the testator’s mind nt that time. The testator kad made before this two wills. One in 1841, iving but $100 to one child and cutting off Lis son James abso- utely, with no more show of angry feeling than it wus customary to find in wills, and giving the balance among his other children. The will of 1845 gives bis property mainly to his son Throckmorton and Mrs. Roe to the other children $100, nnd also cuts otf James absolutely, It is clearly apparent that he was a man of strong likes and dislikes. He was angry at a grandehild forgiving him a finger instead of the whole hand, at one child for express lng doubt of his marriage with his second wife, Even before 1841 he had a great dislike for his son James, It is manifest that Mr. Allaire hud, from some circumstance, taken an aver sion to mest of the elildren by his fist wite, thinking that they neglectdd him and were wanting in filial duty and tilid feeling toward him. It is claimed that all this arose from the influence of this lady who became kis second wife, und from her poisoning his mind aginst them. Unless yout are satisfied that such undue influence was used, and amountad ton substi tution of arother mind for bis mind, you must sustaia the will The Court then explained to the jury the form of the special verdict, the tuoi relating to the execution of the will be ing answered on the spot, sod directed them to bring in a sealed verdiet this morning SreciaL Trey Before Justice SUTHERLAND, A QUESTIUN OF PRACTICE.

CRIMIN A, COURTS. wn I———— COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, [Before Recorder Hackett. The more serious cases have not yet been called on by the parties intercsted in their trial in this Court, Yesterday John Hilley, a pickpocket, pleading guilty to a cherge cons ist- ont with his recognized profession, was gent to State Prison for two years. Kate Ackerman, guilty us attempt at larceny, was scitonood to two yoars in ohn Gould, Chas. Walker and Thomas H. Polheravs plead gulity to an attempt at burglary in tho third and were cach seatonced to one year iu the Penitentiary.

The calendar yesterday footed up only 43 cases, of which there wore complaints for assault and battery, 17; petit larceny, 20; violation of Health law, 2; abandonment, 1; sus- pendod casos, 3; total, 43. A WAR OF Races.—Mr. Nathan Alford, a colored man, brought into court Mr. James Riley, of tho ordinary Caucusian complexion, on a ckurgo of assault and battery. Tho trouble seems to have grown out of the old and nover-satisfied antipathy which obtains botween the Celtic race and their fellow-citizens of African parentage. Tt is only too true that most, by far the most—in fact, probably as many as 9 out of 10—ef the asscnits committod on unoiondiog blacks in Now-York are perpetrated by Irishmen. The social, national, political, moral, pugi- listio or other reasons of this seemingly universal prejudice are beyond our personal and individual ken, und it is doubtful whether any man alive can plain it. Cer- tain it is, however, that whenever a negro and an Irishman come into any sort of personal contact, a quarrel is almost ia- variably the result. The fatal effects of some of these fights our city has seen only too often. Yesterday, a colored man named Nathan Alford brought a complaint against moan named James Riley for au unprovoked assault snd robbery. Mr. Al ford stated his ease thus that he was on the corner of the street waiting for the next city railroad ear, which was fast approach- ing, when Mr. Riley, with whom the complainant had no pre- vious acquaintance, approached him, and atter s few insulting words, struck him in the face. The assault appears from the evidencodo have been entirely gratmitous, phy the belligerent Celt was fined $20, CHARGR OF VIOLATING HEALTH Law. —A Policeman charged Miles Murphy with violating the Health Ordinance of the city by burning oyster shells into lime at a time, place and under circumstances which constituted the act a nuisance. Owing to wants! positive proof the complaint wos dismissed. PEruArs NoT 10 Brame. ~A little boy not 7 years old, named James Park, whose whois appearance was that of an uncared- for and ntterly neglected waif of the streets, was brought upon the accusation of Mr, Williyn Brown for steeling a pair of shoes. The shoes were fowal in the child's possession, sud there was no doubt whatever of his guilt. There was nlso Tittle dopbt that the unfortunate child bead been instructed by an older person to commit the Jarceny, Seutonoe was deferred for the prosent, but should no parent or friend of the little fellow appear in his bohalf, ho will doubtless be sent to the house of ge, which will bo the groatest boon that could be bestowed on kim. Mork Live X18 Mex. —Officer William McTaggart brought a complaint egainst Jobn Hardy and Wiliiom MoCabe, for burning oyster-shells into lime against the stature in such case mode and provided. In defense it was attempted to show that the two men wore simply employés and not responsible for the acts of their employers. In the second place they said that on the day specified inthe complaint there was no fire in the fur- nace at mny time. The magistrate, however, considered the proof sufficient, and they wore fined $25 cach. Cay AN Ex-Coxvier Tester '—=In a charge of as- sault and battery, made by Thomas Hadden against Patrick McCaffrey, an attempt was made by counsel to bar Hadden from the privilege of testifying in his own behalf, on the ground that he had, as aileged, served one or more terms in the State Prison for felony, and was therefore not a competent witness in nny case where a citizen of good charnetor was o party. It was alleged that Hadden had been coavioted mud sentenced for the larceny of £206 iu gold, several years ago, which sentence he is said to Lave served out, and that afterward he was accused of “shanghai-ing'' a sailor. and was on that charge nlso convicted and sentenced, but was afterward pardoned by the proper authorides, This crime of Shanghai ing” is one well known and formerly very often practiced by shipping masters bofore the passage of the various acts looking to the wore perfect protection of the seamen. The plan is to make a sailor drunk, (ither by fair drinking, or by giving him drugged quer and then putting him, in that state, on board an outwuid-bound ship. The man does not recover from his stupor until the ship is well under way for the three or five years’ voyage, aud then comes to his senses to discover that his “advance’ has been poid to the rascally shipping master, and that he himself is bound on a trip which will require years to necomplish. Of this crime Mr. Hadden was charged, aod n conviction was had, but by the interferenco of some powerful friend ho was saved the necessity of serviog his time ia the Peuisentiary. Yesterday, the counsel for tho defendant, MeCaffroy, objected to the swearing of Hadden, on the grounds that a man whe bas served a term in a public prisos for a felony is forever after disqualificd to speak as witness in a court, and isin fact debarred from exercising any of the rights of eitizenship. The counsel roused a record of the indictment, trial, seatence snd notice of penitentiary service of a certain “Thomas Hadden," but could not positively identify the complainant in the present cnse as the “Thomas Hadden of the indictment, aad in conse quenee of the fallure to supply this very necessary link in the chain of evidence, Mr, Hadden was permitted to testify. It wis proved that MoOaffrey, who has tho appearance and the record of belug a “Fourth Ward striker,” usd assaulted snd Hadden on divers wil beaten Mr, suinlry oveasions, and had made threats of repenting the same friendly overtures as soon ns be could “cateh Hadden alone.” There ean be no doubt that MeCutheey is a bad man—indeed, it was stated that ho had made an attack upon Mrs. Haddon the day after his difienity with her husband, and bad knocked her down, MeCatfrey was fined 0 and was also required to give bail to keep the peace for a year. This latter restriction will probably somewhat impair the efficiency of Mr, MeCaifrey during the impending election nnd its many and various preliminary rows. His political friends will probably not allow him to remain iu prison for lack of the necessary fun Tue Presevenine Poricesax.—Officer John Shea, whose name must be familiar to the readers of THE TeimoNe's Police reports, for Lie has been in Conrt on police trials nearly every session for a month or three, again bronght up Mrs. Ellen Davenport for an assault gnd battery. Mrs. Davenport is white woman, bnt her husband is a black man, and he was arrested by Officer Shea a short time since on a charge of bat- tery, but was set freo, The testimony going to show that Davenport was not the man who struck the officer, Davenport brought Shea before the Police Commission amounting in all to §150. The defendant claims that in th. Summer of i864 he made an agreement with the plaintiffs by whifib they were to deliver to Lim wilk pure as it came from the cow, that the milk when delivered to him was found upon ex- amination to contain from three to four quarts of war per can, thereby reducing its value 1 gent per quart that dedocting this amonni from the whole quantity of milk delivered leaves the plaintiff indebted to him in the snm of $15 over and above the amount claimed. The plaintiffs in answer claim thot thet delivered the milk in the same condition that they received it from the farmers. The jury retuned a verdiet for the plaintiffs for $150, L.

A written agreement for three years was made out, but was never signed by the defendant, who is President of t he road, although it had been submitted to him and corrections had been made in it at his suggestion; upon this understanding, the plaintiff, believing himself to be a tenant from year to year, went to some expense in fitting hig place up. The defendant, however, understood the matter differently, aud, having heard several complaints with regard to the conduct of the p: fut ify, potified him to remove his goods; this be refused to do, assert ing bis right to remain until his your was out; the endant thereupon ejected Lim from the premises.

Mr. Frederic H. G. Brother ton brought into court Mary Cassidy on a charge of assault and battery.

To this the driver responded by grossly abusing Mr, Crocker, and tlireatening to break the head of any pervon who should attempt to take the tubs from the eart. 1t was evident from the testi- moay that the driver knew that he had more Jroperty on his than be was entitled to.

Dana, Jr made spooch against whe President's policy. Ho stated that he arrived from Europe on Friday, aud on Saturflay, Le sent to the President his resignation of the office of District Attorney. Gen. Alfred Dockery has declined the nomination of Governor for North Carolina, He was selected without a dissenting voice to represent the Union sentiment of that State. All candidates for Congress who caunot take the proscribed oath are advised by him to withdraw. A large and enthusiastic Republican meeting was held in Sing Sivg on Wednesday lust. Speeches were made by the Hon. Henry 8 Swith, and Gaylord B. Hubbel, e8q.. both of whom were loudly and frequently Next woek another meeting will be Leld, when the Hon. Nelson H. Baker will speak. bi At a moeting of the Pepubliean Union Association of the XX Ist Assembly District, a rosolution was passed in- sisting upon the cxelasion from the Association of all those members of the Republican party who bave been elected by it to office, or appointed to ofiice by the Admin- istration of the Government it has placed in Joven who bave gone over to Andrew Johnson, and his Jopperheund associates, This evoning the Fenton and Woodford Club of the Nineteenth Ward hold a ratification meeting at Terrace Garden, coruer of Fifty-ninth-st, and Third-ave. The Hon. William A. Darling, Judge Hicstand of New-Or- leans, Col. A. J. H. Duganne and others will speak. Active preparations ave being carried on for the great mass meeting to be held in Union-square on the 15th inst, On Monday next the Committee meet to wake final arrangements. 19" On the inside pages of to-day's issue will be found an interesting account of a Base Ball match; Law Re- ports; Police Intelligence; a review Mr. Baneroft's new volume; Commercial matters, and Market Reports. It is reported that Mr. Alfred Dockery, nominated for Governor of North Carolina, by the Unionists, has declined. Gen. Barlow, our Secretary of State, gives notice from Albany that by the act of 1866 the third meeting for registry of voters (Monday before election) is abol- ished. There are now but two meetings—the Tuesday, three weeks before election, and the Friday just pre- ceding the election. This advice is highly important to voters, and journals throughout the city and State should give it circulation. We are informed that the Hon. Coles Bashford, Congressional Delegate elect from Arizona, is a na- tive of Wayne County, N. Y., was in good old days a Whig, bas been a Republican since the organ- ization of that party in 1856, and was omce elected Governor of Wisconsin on the Republican ticket. While east of the great plains, he adhered with unswerving fidelity to the party, and bis friends in this State still claim him as true to his principles, and hence opposed to my policy.” It is expected in England that both Mr. Glass and Mr. Canning will be knighted for the part they bave taken in carrying out the Atlantic Telegraph Cable enterprise; and it is suggested by the English press that Capt, Anderson, of the Great Eastern, onght also to receive some honorary mark of distinction for the services rendered by bim in the geod work, This is as it should be; for certainly the men who bave been instrumental in completing one of the greatest under- takings of the age .are worthy of all honor, and de- serve more substantial rewards than any mere title implies. But what of Mr. Cyrus W, Field, to whom the enterprise is more largely indebted for its success than to any other individual? If the sovereign of Great Britain is about to confer distinction upon the Englishmen who took a leading part in that enterprise, what ought the people of the United States to doin the case of Mr. Field? Surely, there ought to be some public—some national—recognition of the in- valuable services rendered by this gentlemen to an enterprise so preguant with benefits to the country, and what promises to be so useful an agent in further. ing the cause of civilization. We honor and retard the soldier whose victories subserve our national in. terests, illustrate our greatness, and adorn our an- nals. Let us not be unmindful of the claime of men whose genius renders splendid service to civilization on those bloodless ficlds where every victory achieved is a positive gain to humanity, THE MORAL OF MURDER. The World—carefully concealing from its readers the Report of Gens. Mower, Quincy and Gregg, of the result of their Military Investigation of the New- Orleans Massacre—says: “@'he invaluable New-Orleana riot is every week or two dished up by them in some new form te enable them to keep it eonsta yeford the public. Ever and anon, It has to be ‘in- vestigated’ anew, with a view, as they say, to fix the responsi bility and they have now hrought outda report, by a pretended milifary board which, according to Tne TRIBUNE, Jastens the whole Ware of the upon Mayor Monroe. We do not deem it necessary, now and hye to contest the correctness of this conclusion. It seems important to show that, even nd- nitting the fact to be ns the Radicals would have it, they are not warrauted in making o casus belli going the whole White population of the South. Why should six or eight millions of fone be held responsible for one man's wisdeeds! Even if yor M is regarded as the representative of those who elected his uct would inculpate only the dity of New- Orleans; apd there is still the injustice of making the whole South answerable for cocurrences in a single municipality, over which they have no sort of control. —The World knows better than the above, but means that its readers shall not. It knows that we have a hundred times shown that the whole blame of the riot” does mot rest on Mayor Monroe—_that he was but the organ of the Rebel sentiment of New- Orleans and of the South. We are for Negro Suf frago—the way they suffered in New- Orleans” —was em- blazoned on one of the banners carried in the late grand procession of the Democrats of Baltimore, And Andrew Johnson predicted to Frederick Douglass in a Juli Mange that the Southern Whites would the Blacks if the latter should claim and attempt to exercise the Right of Suffrage. Monroe, with his Thugs and Hays's brigade,” were simply fulfilling Johuson's prophecies. The fiendish butchery of Dostie, Henderson, Horton and their compatriots, differed in mo essential impulse from the slanghter of the Massachusetts men in the streets of Baltimore, April 19th, 1861. Each wag in. tended to prove ours a White man's government,” no business tointermeddle. Slavery was the real murderer either case, as truly as in the martyrdogy of Elijah Lovejoy thirty-one years ago. And such murders will continue to be until our that a man's color does not define flor cironmacribe 1ifs rights—that the safoty and well-being of each requires tho concession of All Rights to All AFFAIRS AT THE GULF. The special telogram from New-Orleans whieh we print to-day gives us a remarkable sequel to the offi- cial revelations contained in the report of Gen. Sheri® dan's Military Commission. A year ago, Gen. Sheri” dan obtained knowledge of the existence of sooret societies in his Department, and disbanded several as- sociations of Confederate soldiers. More recent .developments have added to the stock of information in possession of the military, and we again bear of an extensive secret society, not in Louisiana alone, but in other parts of the South, and even in New-York. What is the cause of Gen, Sheridan's concentration of troops we shall not strive to conjecture; but the late massacre in Now-Orleans, and the turbulent and im- placable spirit of which the events in Texas are in- dications, may be good reasons for the strongest and safest measures which Gen. Sheridan can fairly take. Col. Mason, the commander of the soldiers charged with the burning of Benham, declares his belief that the citizens were the aggressors, and that the town was fired by them. Gen. Sheridan has instructed Brevet-Major Smith not to permit himself to be arrested by any civil authority, and a dispatoh to the Associated Press (probably from an ex-Rebel correspondent) states that this officer has proclaimed martial law and ordered the disarming of the citizens— a story whose perfect truth we have some reason to doubt. In a letter to Gov. Throckmorton, Gen. Sheridan explains his great anxiety to have peace, but doubts **if much justice can be done in com- munity that compels our own men to remain inside the defenses thrown around their camps.” We have this from Gen. Sheridan, who is too good an officer to deal in exaggerations, The crimes of the Rebellion, whose infamy Memphis and Now-Orleans have not suffered to sleep, will not permit us to doubt the latest news from the Gulf. MR. HOFFMAN'S PLATFORM DURING THE WAR. Mayor Hoffman has said repeatedly, since his nomination for Governor, that no public or private act of his could be held up to censure. He made this assertion in his late speech at Sing Sing, and un- wisely, for it must have recalled his address at that place a few days before the last Presidential election. Leading citizens, whose honor and memory are equally above question, quote Mr, Hoffman as having said that *‘Democtats only had gone to the war,” and that “volunteering stopped when Lincoln declared for an Abolition policy.” He believed that the “Southern people were entitled to sympathy,” and charged that ‘‘the war was carried oh for the subjugation of 5,000,000 of people.” This is bad enough. But Mr. Hoffman went farther. He affirmed that Lincoln was as great a traitor to the Constitution as Jefferson Dayvis"—a charge loudly applauded by the Copperheads to whose passions it appealed. Then came the following decla- ration, which we are assured is literally reported, word for word, as Mayor Hofman uttered it: “If Tennesseo is not allowed to vote in the Electoral College, and Lincoln should be elected, I would advise revolution and resistance to the Government, and you may know which side to find me on.” These ure grave charges to bring against a man who would become the Governor of this State, but they are not lightly made. HOW ARMORIES ARE FURNISHED BY THE SUPERVISORS. The Board of Supervisors, at its last meeting, ap- propriated an additional $35,600 for Armories and Drill-Rooms. Jobbery under this head is of recent origin—the power having been conferred upon the Supervisors about three years ago; but it has grown with surprising luxuriance, and bas been accompanied by circumstances of such reckless profligacy that we deem it proper to invite to it the particular attention of the public. The financial operations of certain members of the Board connected with the procurement of premises for the various Armories we design to veatilate here- after, limiting the present article to showing the man- ner in which the fax-levy has becn swelled by this new swindle, SRE Prior to 1263, the duty of supplying the militia regi- ments of this City with rooms devolved upon the Common Council, who discharged it to the satisfac. tion of the regiments aud, undoubtedly, with gome small profit to themselves. The pickings, however, must bave been moderate, The Armories were located over the markets and other public buildings, and the whole expenditure did not exceed $5,000 for any one year. The Board of Sapervisors, however, induced the Legislature to transter the business to them; and, during the past three years, its duties have been com- mitted to a special committee of that body, consist ing of*the same individuals, with one exception, who compose the notorious Conrt-Hbuse Committee. Since then this placer bas been worked in a man- ner calculated to astonish an old-fashioned pecu- lator. The Controller, in his budget for 1864, estimated that $20,000 would be necessary for Armories end Drill-Rooms during that year, and inserted that amount in the tax-levy. While the document was lying on the table in the Board of Supervisors, some liberal-minded patriot secretly altered a figure, and thereby converted $20,000,into $40,000; but the frand being detected by Supervisor Purdy, the original amountéwas restored. At a sub- sequent meeting, however, a majority of the Board passed a resolution raising the amount to $50,000, and afterward added to it another $100,000; go that the amount anthorized to be spent for Armories during that year was $150,000! The Supervisors proved fully equal to this increased responsibility,and soon managed Lo expend the amount; also $125,000 which was after- ward obtained. Funds being lavishly provided, pro- fitable jobs were abundant. Bills for fron-work on an Armory, amounting to about $40,000, being pre- sented to Mayor Gunther, he referred them for ex. amination to two, of the most respectable iron-dealers in the City who certified that the work was not worth over $16,000; but the bills were finally paid in full, as all bills’ are which are duly certified by the “Ring.” For the present year, the Controller estimated that 280,000 would be sufficient; but the Board exhausted Sat amount during the first six months, and have since added to it another $80,000; so that the expen- ditures on Armories during the last nine months have been at the rate of more than $200,000 per apnum! Let it be remembered that this expenditure is for a branch of the publie service which, three years ago, cost the City less than one-twentieth of the sum, The money is distributed among the retainers of the Board, without warrant of law, in payment for jobs at rates varying from one to two hundred per cent above honest prices. As a specimen, we quote the following item from the Controller's report: “Paid for fitting up 224 Regiment Armory......... $80,206 88" DAfring the present year, a combination of certain al-cstate owners with members of -the Board of Supervisors has foisted®ipon the City leases (having five and ten years to run) for various premises to be ocoupied by the militia. The Controller reported in May last that leases had been executed by the clerk of the Board, the rents of which amounted to $53,400 per anpum. Since then additional leases have been executed to the extent of about $30,000; thus perma- gently saddling the City with over $80,000 per annum for rents. In making the preliminary arrange- monts for these leases, the jobbers in the Board forgot their usual caution, and it is rumored abput the City Hall that they have committed themselves in a very sad laws sball have beea fully conformed fo the EERE Sp A 4 to breuoh of priblio robbery whose wagnitide and wickedness is fast rivaling the Court-House and Harlem Bridge swindles. CONNECTICUT. Wo have roturns from 109 towns in Connecticut, of which 67 have gone Republican, 36 Democrat, and 6 are sot down as divided. To prove our general esti- mate, we give an alphabetical list, complete to date, jtalicizing the towns which, on comparison with the figures of the election for Governor last March, can bo justly claimed as gain to cither side. The Connecti- out papers reckon gains in Republican majorities for 20 towns, and but three or four are claimed by the Democrats: REBUBLICAN.

In Canton and Glastenbury gains are claimed by tho Democrats, and in Windsor Locks and Bouth Windsor by the Republicans. We count thus far a ma- jority of 31 towns for the Republicans, the Democrats claiming at the utmost but one or two more towns than their opponents will allow them, That the cause of Congress against the President has gained largely and most significantly in Connecticut dees not adwit of dispute. KANSAS. We are glad that the Radicals of Kansas have wisely renominated such honest public servants as Gov. Crawford, and their present representative in Congress, the Hon. Sidney Clark. As Gov, Crawford had a majority of 3,753, out of 19,733 votes, upon the popular ballot for 1364, his chances for reledotion are the best, Mr, Clarke was chosen in 1864 over Abert L. Lee, the anti-Lane” candidate, by 1,504 votes, and we assume that he will be redlected over his Conservative qpponent, Gen. L. W. Blair. The following are the rival State tickets: Radical, Conservative, Governor. 8. J. Crawford. J. L. MoDonnel. Lieut. -Gov.o..us.. Major N. Green. Major Jos. R. McClue. Sec'y State. R. A. Darker. Auditor. J. R, Swallow. N. E. Gosa. Treasurer......... Martin Anderson, Supt. Educat'n... Peter MoVicker. Jas. H. Bond. Att'y General, ....Geo, H. Hoyt. Ross Burns. Chief Justice. ....S. A. Kingman. Nelson Cobb, Excepting Goss and Cobb, all the candidates on the Conservatiye sidg wt bg recreant Republicans, Gov. Crawford, who heads the Radical ticket, entered the war as a captain under Lyon, and after brave and daring service was promoted to the command of the 2d colored regiment of Kansas, George H. Hoyt, nominated for Attorney-General, was volunteer counsel for the martyr John Brown. On the success of the Radicals, of whose defeat we have no fear, de- pends the character of the United States Senators who are to succeed Mujor E. G. Ross (now filling the unexpired term of the late Gen. Lane) and Mr, 8. C. Pomeroy. Both branches of the Legislature are Radical. “MY POLICY.” The Elmira Adrertiser, by the pen of the Rev. Trnouas K. BeecneR (brother to Ward), thus sums up the issue between the President and Congress: For the Preeidont to originate a policy and use every In. fluence at bis command to carry it through, eontrary to the will of Congress, is unconstitutional, however customary; aad in a high degree dapgrrocs in its tgodougyr~ The powers of government are classed under three heads— Legislative, Executive avd Judloial, e duties and powers of each are clearly defined by the Constitution, These cannot clash, except by one or the other overstepping its constitu. tionel bounds, The President is the executor of laws—the nation’s right band. He Is not law-maker. Cougress is the sole law.maker. Shall the hand say to the head, “I have a thought of my own 1" The band way send juformation to the bead. but the head directs the hand. A President may ‘‘give information” to Congress, He may “recommend” laws and messures “to their vousilerativn" But surely he can constitutionally do no more than this, Shall Speaker Colfax dictate decisions to Judge Chase? Shall Judge Chase reverse military orders issued by the Pres. ident? ay Congress meddle with Court or Court with Con- ess? As little way the Premdent interfere with either ourt or Congress, The parmanence of our Government de- pends upon each department respecting the digoity of the other two, and thus avoiding collision, What shall we say then when a President's polley seeks to preoccupy the place of a Cougreesional polieyt 1 reply that the executive is not charged with the duty of policy-making. Tts duty is to execute laws and measnres, not originate them, He may recommend this or that “to the consideration” of Congress, But It is impertivent and uneonstitotional for the President to endeavor to carry bis measures through Congress. I know that it has been for wany Joon customary for Presi dents to do so. I know that since Martin Van Duren taught Audrew Jackson how to use Presidential patronage to intimi- date Congressmen or hay them, it has come to be a thing of course that the President should endeavor to mold legislation and dictate lows in tifisunconstitatioual and indirect manner, But all this is wrong and dangerous. It will eventuate sooner or Jater ina collision between the pation’s head and the nation's Rand—leuving Governwent stanned as to wisdom, aud helpless #5 to strength. A President should not make decrees directly or indirectly, And when, as now, a President, during recess of Congress, devises a pollgy npon questious of vital and permanent mo- ment, and next bastons to execute it without any advice or suthority from Congress; and next imparts it to Cougress as “my polley,” working finely already; ond then, when Con. gress would examine thoroughly and deliberate on the matter, 18 vexed and angered by criticism and delay, and at last undertakes to be himself a tribune of tbe people, and speak maledictions on the people's chosen representatives, and by argument, threat andspateonage endeavor to carry out “my joy” rather than aid avd execute the laws and resolves of Congress! Itis time for eitizens to be startied, and by agober and respectful admonition declare that legislative power be- longs exclusively to Congress and does not belong in any degree to the Executive, Congress may err, no doubt, The President may be wise and Congress volish. But o tem: rary error of Congress does not threaten such wide di r as an overshadowing executive power prophesies. A Congressional error is bat a blunder. A law-making President is a revolation, When in 1#61 the nation was cannonaded at Charleston, and her very Capital threatened by gathering lg, the modest President called for 75,000 troops, to serve three months and keep the peace against insurrection. And in the same prools- mation he called also for Congress, Come, come as quick as you can, and give me the laws by which to raise sn army and save the vation. Con came. And in his first messes the President apo for the vast responsibility be had taken, pointing to the crisis that compelled the act. Congress peop y legitimated all his proclamations and orders, and toned respectfully to his recommendations,” but in 1 another President startled the nation by the baste he made on matters profoundly intricate and momentous —the readjustment of a whoie nation, hut yesterday convulsed and sweating in the egony of war, Wait! ob wait for Cou. gress! or at least ask counsel. But no. Whereas one President. when duty was simplest and most emphatic, did the very least he dared do and then apologized; the other when duty was most complex and diffi. cult wade baste to do all that be covld do, hurrying lest Cos. gress should weddle with the plan. N Thus Abraham Lincoln showed himself a constitutional ruler, even amid war's explosion; whilé Johnson has shown himself unconstitn in the use of power—just when peace was {sing abundant time for deliberatjon. His intentions, I doubt not, have been honest and patri- otic. But bis haste bas led him into a very conspicuous a Mad onatom must not plead its age as reason for longer life and larger tisl interference with Con- growth, il 1s toda tartli Ba A even though 1 approved the Presiden sident's as wiser Congress fact, they are very the samo) should ote uphold Congress because in hint ors when he socounts fn any sense a tive of peo: Hl Sept oT tn en the Constitution, If he does Le fu is acting unoonstitus tionally, alone, and the Président, A eag roaken Jows and eetablinbes policies. The American Freedmen’s Union Commission have undertaken as 8 special work the ‘establishment throughout the Republic, upon permanent founda- tions, of common schools, for the education of all, without distinction of sect, caste or color.” The education of the freedmen it considers a truly religious work, none the loss so because it is andsnominational, For this ugpose they commission 2a 4sachars persons possessing the spirit of ire religion, but jealously maintaifl their unsectarian character, nog allowingithe peculiar tonets of any particular denomindtion to be tanght in the schools.” This is the right way to work, and the only way in which the Society can obtain national support. IRON-CLAD FOR® AND EARTHWORKS. The experiments which Gen. Barnard has conduot- ed at Fortress Monroe are additional evidence of the greater defensive value of earthworks as compared with stone fortifications. A stone target, eight feet thick, iron-clad, and in some places supported by a heavy granite abutment, was completely ruined by oleven shots from large Rodman guns of fifteen-inch smooth-bore and twelve-inch rifled. Blocks of granite, weighing hundrods of pounds, were thrown fitty yards from their placés, and had the target been a casemate of a fort, its defenders would have found the flying fragments of stone and iron more dangerous than cannon balls, The effect of the projectiles is described as astounding. The experiment was intended to test the power of resistance in an iron-clad wall. The result shows that the strength of an iron-clad vessel is no standard for the strength of an iron-clad fort, Had one of our monitors steamed up and down before these Rodman guns, and been subjeoted to the same fire, within the same range, though she might have been damaged, the injury would have been far less than that inflicted on tho mrget. An iron-clad vessel has the advantage of motion; it is in a yielding elemont, and something of the shock of a projectile must be communicated to the water. In the case of the target it was transmitted to the abutment, which was moved from its place. We believe that a monitor of half the resisting power of an iron. olad fort has, by reason of its motion and position, double the actual strength, But however this may be, the experiment has shown that stone-work receives no protection from iron sheathing, and that it would be useless for the Government to attempt to strengthen by such means the old stone and brick fortresses cof structed along our coast before the war. Fort Hamil- ton and Fort Wadsworth, on either side of the Nar- rows, might, in case of attack by an iron-clad fleet, repeat the lessons of Vicksburg and Samter. The earthworks of the ono would be tenable long after the frowning buttresses of its companion were dostsoyed. Their comparative strength no experi ment was needed to ascertain, but the Board of En- gipeer Officers have demonstrated that we cannot patch up our stone fortifications by iron plating. The emphatic teaching of the war is—Iron for the ocean, and Earthworks for the land. The Congressional elections present an issue between the People and Andrew Johnson, not between Con- gress and the President. And the issue which the People have with their traitorous, usurping servant in the White House is the simplest ever presented in a national canvass, It is: Shall the country be governed by those who fought to destroy it, or by those who fought to save it? Shall it be governed by its friends or its enemies 7” That ’s all there is of it. Andrew Johnson's purpose is to put the law-making and executive powers of the Government into the hands of unchastened, unrepentant, malignant Rebels. The People, through their loyal Congress, oppose this crime; and on this issue, presented singly, they cai elect their candidates in every Congressional District from the Atlantic to the Pacific, beyond the shadow of a doubt; yes, and carry every office, from Gov- ernot to Patbmaster, in every Northern and Western State. i. a Threo thonsands millions of debt, half a million of soldiers’ graves, two and a half millions of the people clothed in garments of mourning, surely are solemn monuments of the earnest purpose of a nation to save its life. A “policy” that will waste this sacrifice—a political policy that will voluntarily surrender the fruits of such a costly war and give to the Rebels the advantages and power they failed to conquerby arms— such a policy, argued to tax-payers, cannot but be accepted as treason—urged upon the relatives of the slain, mast be felt to be blasphemy—pronoanced in the hearing of the world, surely will be considered the phenomenon of insanity or idiocy. Tire New-YOrK TRIBUNE patronizingly refers to North Caro’ lina agriculture as being seriously injured: First, br the perse- oution of Union men; and second, by the refisal of rs of large plantations to divide then into small farms and sell them. Both these alleged causes are baso and deliberate lies, Yut there is no advantage gained by denyiog them, What does THe TRIBUNE care for the exposure of the falsehoods concocted by that paper?! What do the mad and brutal Radicals care for the contradiction of those falsehoods? [Richmond Dispateb, Our iuformatiom upon the first point, the persecu- tion of Union men, is too true, and the epithets which The Dispatch applies to the Northern people in this very article—* mad,” brutal,” “besotted,” *“‘hell- born and hellward bound’—are proofs of the Rebel spirit. Upon the second point—the land question— our facts were directly supplied by natives of North Carolina, and by the North Carolina papers. We should be glad indeed to find them untrue, but want better authority than the ravings of Rebel papers, Mr. Johnson has rarely received censure more severe than the following compliment from The Atlanta (Ga.) Era: “The friends of Mr, Johnson are glad that he has returned to Washington, Thoy are glad be was not assassinated, They are glad be was not rotten-egged by the negro suffrage rabble at Indianapolis. But they are especialy gratified at the evi- dences of improvement in the temper aud style of his speeches. His address to the Committee who waited upon him on the 25th, to present the proceedings of the Cleveland Convention, 1s a decided success im its way. It looks statesmaniike; it looks somewhat scholarly. There is no gross violation of good taste or grammar in it, It looks dignified. It looks sober. Men are never'too old or too wise to learn, The trouble is, that some men never learn and never forget anything. Not $0 with Mr. Johnson; he lives to learn, and he has learned muck, He will continue to learn. He will learn that silence is sometimes more eloquent than words, He will learn the unprofitableness of talking to a drunken rabble, He will learn how bopeless it is to reason with the hoosiers and pork-eaters of Indianapolis, Indeed, be has already learned this, Andrew Jobnson addressing the rabble and Andrew Johnson address- ing gentiomen, are performances spltogether dissimilar, He kuows bow to do but, as President of the United States, some people think he ought to quit exhibiting to the rabble.” The World says that we affect to consider Federal office-holders ‘‘the most contemptiblecreatures in exist- ence,” On the contrary, we had a great respeot for most of those whom Mr, Linceln appointed, and re- juice to see them justify our good opivion. A Federal office-holder who obtains or retains his place by apos- tasy, hypocrisy and baseness, is contemptible—who doubts it 1==but a majority of those left in office by Mr. Lincoln have honored manhood by their fidelity to their principles and their convictions. The Bread- and-Butter renegades are a very decided as well as detested minority. Without cause, against right, deliberately and wick- edly, the Rebel Representatives and Senators walked out of Congress into the battle-field, aud fought till they were exhausted to destroy the Government and conquer the Free States. They went out when they pleased. Is it not right that they should ceme back when we please?

WASHINGTON. re PERSONAL, Wasiixoron, Thursday, Oct. 4, 1866, Wm. P. Atwell, late captain in the Thirty-Seventh Wisconsin Volunteers, has declined the appointment of Consul at Maracoclo, Venezuela. Thurlow Weed arrived bere this morning and returned to New-York to-night. Being at the State Department during the day, ha was met by a prominent Republican, who asked him how My Policy was going in New-York State. Mr. Weed shrugged his shoulders, looked askant, aad replied, “JXt's all going one way.” A prominent Republican says that he did not say which way, but the inference was perfectly plain. The numerous anxious friends of the Marquis de Monthelon, whose son was supposed to have beem captured and executed by the Liberals in Mexico, will be gratified to learn that letters received from the young man this morning give evidence of his entire gafety, BOUNTY FOR COLORED SOLDIBRS, Auditor French has decided in the case of colored soldiers, not marked as slayes upon the rolls at the time of ene listment under the recent act of Congress, thet it will not be necessary to affirmatively establish their being free, because freedom is pr d.

Postmaster-General Randall has received from Special Post-Office Agent Lawrence, a box containing speei- mens of mouuntein salt from the “Pat Ragegat' Mining Regions. They are fine, pure, and almost transparent, One of the pieces shows the face of the mountain from whieh alls are taken. The other pieces were taken back from the surface. This salt came from a mountain of pare salt several layers in extent, and several thousand feet in hight. It is situated inthe extreme southern part of Novada between the 115th and 116th degrees of west longitude. Mr. Lawrence says these pleces are not sent as fair specimens, but in Lis next trip to that region, he will undertake to procure a block of a foot square, of such transparency that a newspaper can be read through it.
