Mr. Southworth, President of the Board of Police, has called upon us to announce the purpose of the Board to issue, in time enough for the edition of the morn iDg papers, a circular explaining the course of proceedings and intentions of the Board, with a view to allay the apprehensions which prevail in regard to removals and appointments to the police. He assures us that there ill be great caution used, and the existing laws be faithfully followed as to the qualifications of the police, that no removals will be made without cause and trial, and that appointments will be invariably made from supernumeraries, and that promotions will be invariably made from within the existing force and never from without. The whole will be explained at length in the cir cular we are expecting, and the assurance of what it will contain, if there be no ulterior purposes, may be well calculated to soothe a part of the uneasiness which is now very prevalent. ttF The clear sky and bright sunshine of this morning seemed more delightful by con trast with yesterday's gloom.

The wind hanled round to the northward last night, producing a most uncomfortable feeling, and this morning, though the sun shines as fiercely as ever, yet the atmosphere is somewhat tempered by the cool breeze This is just the weather when it will pay to be careful.

The report treats of a subject which will be generally interesting. Will some members of the Council look it up The Festivals That Did Not Come Oit The weather, yesterday, pat a damper upon all outdoor sports.

So continuous a rain as poured from early morning until quite late in the afternoon, is very unusual at this season, and we have no doubt the firemen, who have been making such persistent efforts to hold their Grand Festival, with its "Caricature Tournament," think themselves exceedingly unfortunate. A pions old lady remarked, yesterday, that perhaps the heavens frowned because the Sabbath was the day selected for the festival, and suggested that some other day be tried. We give the firemen the benefit of the sug gestion, entirely free of cost, and think it at least deserves their consideration, as the old lady was doubtless sincere, and we know sympathises deeply with the gallant men of the department. The firemen were not the only ones disappointed. The Grand Catholic Festival was postponed in consequence of the weather, and it would be difficult to estimate the thousands of persons who, having made every arrangement for a day of frolic in the open air, were compelled to stay within doors.

Would it not be well to consult some oracular almanac before fixing upon another day for a festival? Ep Thei apathy which has been mani fested in regard to tbe late brutal murder of Major Frank Manney, in Victor's restaurant, on Canal street, is most astonishing. If any steps have been taken having in view the arrest of Quintero, the assassin, they have been taken with such mystery and pro found secrecy, that no one outside of the Chief of Police's immediate circle of friends know anything of them. It is asserted by some that Quintero has never left the city, but imitating the example of the notorious burglar, Charley Gordon, has hidden himself away to await some favorable opportunity to escape anno ticed. This, of course, may be all supposition, but certainly something should be done at once to track the assassin to his hiding place. It is rather surprising that no reward has been offered by the Governor for his arrest, As money is a great incentive to energetic ex ertion, perhaps a reward would stimulate the police to some action in the matter.

France and Italy have really been in a diplomatic correspondence abont Italian organ grinders in Paris. Some have already been sent back, and.

the rest are to be dealt with in like manner. THE MECHANIC AND THE PARMER There can be no question that the actual condition of the mechanic and the laboring fanner have greatly changed, in ajmaterial point of view, for the better, within the last quarter of a century, thongh it may seem that, in a pecuniary sense, there has been no improvement. Yon will be told on the one hand that the wages of mechanics are very high, and on the other that the price of provisions, clothing and of masy necessaries, are still higher proportionately. The stun total of the cost of living will be thus shown to be so great that there is little in the pocket or in the savings' institutions at the end of the year. Is the mechanic or laborer paid then too much, or is he made poorer than ever by the cost of living So far as this cost is absorbed in taxes, and in the fees and of revenue collection, and its private and public disbursement, this may be considered a loss to both the industry and capital of the country, but so far as it does enable and has induced these classes to enjoy more and better the luxuries of enlightenment and culture, and the comforts and solace of a home, there has been great gain.

A quarter of a century ago very few practical fanners or mechanics enjoyed a to the of the pleasures now almost universal to their class in all well settled regions. How different now their intellectual condition How much more varied and extensive their reading 1 How much more they enjoy the productions, not only of fancy but of positive knowledge? Then the piano forte was heard only in the parlors of the rich merchant or old and successful practitioner in the learned professions while the ambitious young man, who undertook to have it, was regarded as presumptuous and liable to failure in his business because thereof. Now the har monious strings are heard in one continuous jingle, along the streets occupied chiefly by our mechanic classes, while few farmers' houses, in regions accessible by rail or water are without this former test of gentility." So too there were few practical mechanics who then owned the houses in which they dwelt, while now the exception is, unless when the trades are migratory, that the resident mechanic, in villages at the least, does not live permanently under his own vine and fig tree, with none to make him afraid except the tax gatherer and the political missionary. There is no doubt that the mechanic and the farmer can now, with this increased enlightenment, better than ever make themselves the in the country. most independent people Their numbers are such easily control it by their that they could votes.

Their necessity to the rest of the community is such that their will could easily be made law. But to become and remain independent they must aim at constantly increasing moral, intellectual and material improvement. They must frown upon vice and vicious indulgence, and refuse to consort or to allow their families to consort with it. They must promote education; useful, prac tical education, and they must become more and more their own landlords, and when they till the soil make this more and more independent of hired labor. It is only when thus independent that they either can or ought to rule others.

No country is so rich as that where the poor are comfortable and independent, though there be few very rich persons inhabiting that country. Riches, after all, are relative. That man is rich who has all he needs and can enjoy all that others do around him. No farmer or mechanic in Louisiana need be poorer than this, provided he first resolves to live within his means, and then to so intelligently increase them that he may add out of them, and not by running into debt, to the comforts and enjoyments of his household.

Proposed Reciprocity Treaty with Prinze JKdward Island. Washington, July 6. The reciprocity bill affecting the United States and Prince Edward Island, introduced by Gen.

Butler in the House to day, is designed to secure our fishing vessels from the onerous restrictions now imposed by the authorities of that island, and prepare the way for its annexation to the United States. The correspondence on the subject shows that in 1851 one hundred sail were damaged and three hundred Uvea lost, their commanders preferring to trust to the sea than to go into port and subject their vesselB to detentions or seizures. Hesu Reverdy Johnson's Valedictory. Washington, Jnly '9. Mr.

Johnson asked permission of tbe Senate to trouble them with a few words. He had committed to writing what he desired and would ask his colleague to read them. Mr. Vickera then read the manuscripts of Mr. Johnson as follows Mr.

President May I be excused for arresting for a moment or two the ordinary business of the Senate by a few words personal to myself Having agreed to accept a public trust abroad committed to me by the President, with the approval of the Senate, I am about to resign my seat in this body. Having been a member for nearly six years, and contracted friendships which have been a constant source of pleasure, and which I shall ever value, I cannot retire without the deepest resrret. Durinsr the period of my service a civil war of unexampled magnitude was waged, threatening our national life and its successful termination by arms. The consequence of the conflict have not wholly disappeared. In both periods questions of the greatest importance, involving the powers of the Government and the reserved rights of the States, have been discussed in this chamber with a solicitude to uphold the Government in all its rightful authority, and to restore the entire country to its wonted prosperity.

In these discussions I have more or less participated, and, although widely differing with a majority of the Senate and supporting my opinions with earnestness, it will always be a great gratification to me to remember that at all times, by every member, I was treated with uniform courtesy, and I need hardly say, Mr. President, that such courtesy 1 never failed gladly to reciprocate. In tbe new office of public duty on which I am about to enter I may find subjects of controversy that for a time (as they have already done) may more or less distract the friendly relations between the Government of Great Britain and our own. But that this disturbance will be temporary, I do not doubt. Tbe interests of both nations are so firmly dependent upon a mutual and friendly under standing that the people of each cannot fail to see the duty of having it observed, and I be lieve this can be accomplished by the mani feetation of reciprocal good will, as our Government is, actuated by such a feeling.

The complication of the present time, I am satis tied, will soon be removed, and in whatever part, nnder instructions of the President, I may take in the regulations preliminary to such a result, I shall be influenced by a sincere wish to secure to both Governments an adjustment honorable to both, and I have every reason to think I shall be met in the same spirit by the Government in all that I may do. I shall look with hope to the approval of my associates in this body, and although I may fail in some respects to meet with it, I cannot be mistaken in thinking that they wjll do me the justice to believe that I have been governed throughout by an earnest desire to maintain all the rights and protect the interests of our beloved country. It is not at all probable that I shall again be a member of the Senate, and it oppresses me to think I may never, after I leave the country, halve the pleasure of seeing again all its members. But I beg you, Mr. President and them to be assured that whatever distance may separate us I shall never cease gratefully to remember the kindness evinced for me in this chamber, or to hope for the happiness and prosperity of its members.

hen I return from my embassy I trust and believe there will be an enduring peace between ourselves and the other nations of the world, and this I am sure can be secured by a firm and courteous maintenance of our own rights and a scrupulous regard for the rights of others and above all, I' trust that all the troubles incident to our recent domestic conflict will then have totally disappeared, and we shall be in the uninterrupted enjoyment of that unity of government which, in the parting words of Washington, "is the main pillar in tbe edifice of our real independence the support of our tranquility at home, of our peace abroad of our safety, of our prosperity, of that very liberty which we so highly prize. These ends being accomplished, imagination itself will be at a loss adequately to portray the future greatness of our land. And now, Mr. President, I leave the body with one more word, but a word which, to friends, is ever most painful to utter farewell. The Senators generalty flocked around Mr.

Johnson to bid him farewell. He was visibly affected. An Earnest Johnson Man. New York, July'J. In Convention, on the 1 8th ballot, Illinois, which had persistently adhered te the fortunes ot Mr.

Pendleton, cast her vote for Hendricks. A member of the delegation said he was not prepared to vote for Hendricks, and he would not allow the chairman of tha delegation to determine his vote. Efforts were made to choke down the dissenting member, but he was not of a stuff to be choked down. He maintained his position, and said he was for the man who had proved himself the guardian of the constitution, the champion of the Union, the protector of the South. He gave his vote for "Andrew Johnson," and when he did so the enormous audience rose to their feet, and, with one long roll and roaring thnnder of approbation, signified their sympathy with the man who wanted to cast his vote for the excellent President, Andrew Johnson.

It was a very remarkable scene, and the Illinois delegates, while disposed to cast their vote for Hendricks, could not but have felt the most earnest sympathy with the member of their delegation who desired to pay to Andrew Johnson the tribute of his admiration and approbation. Dir. Pendleton's Letter Authorizing the Withdrawal ef his Name. The following is a copy of the letter read in Convention by Mr. Vallandigham Cincinnati, July 2, 18C8.

Wachtneten McLean, Fifth Avenue Hotel My Dear Sir Yon know better than any one the feelings and principles which have guided my conduct since the suggestion of my name for the Pretidential nomination. Yon know that while I receive the good opinion of my countrymen, and would feel an honest pride in so distinguished a mark in their confidence, I do not desire it at the expense of one single electoral vote, great applause, or of the least disturbance of the harmony of oar I arty. I consider the success of the Democratic party in the next election of far greater importance than the gratification of any personal ambition, however pure and lofty it might be. Loud applause. If, therefore, at auy time a name shall be suggested which, in the opinion of yourself and those friends who have shared our confidence, shall be stronger before the country, or can more thoroughly unite our own party, I beg that yon will instantly withdraw my name, and pledge to tbe Convention my hearty, and lealous, and active support of its nominee.

The Feeling In Washington Over the Nominations. 7 Washington, July 9. The announcement of the nomination of Seymour was received here with gTeat rejoicing, the cry in everybody's mouth being. We may now hope for a return to civil government." The friends of Hendricks and Hancock feel disappointed nevertheless, they are most enthusiastic in applauding the selection of Seymour, who is admitted to be the ablest statesman of the coun try, and equipped and forwarded to the field more men, during the war, than any other State Governor. The nomination is regarded by the whole conservative element here as to amount to an election, and judging from the pulsations at tbe great heart of the nation, the country already breathes freer, and the military despotisms will soon give place to civil government.

What Hancock Saya Hancock expresses himself delighted with tbe selection, and says the Convention evinced wisdom by nominating a statesman instead of a Boldier at tbia critical juncture. Hendricks cordially indorses tbe nomination, and expresses entire confidence of triumph under bey mour. A Sick. Langh. The Radicals profess to laugh at it as a good joke, and express great sympathy for the Democracy on making a selection so unwise and impolitic.

Whether they will laugh in No vember next, remains to oe seen, The Presidential Ci is considered here as fairly inaugurated. The fight will be for Ohio. New York and Pennsylvania are regarded as certain for the Democratic ticket, and these, together with Ohio, will secure the election of Seymour without a single Southern State. If Ohio is lost, then it becomes necessary to divide the Southern vote. Whether this can be done depends upon the machinery pnt in operation by the carpet baggers to prevent a fair election.

It Is the expression and determination of the Democracy on the outside to have a fair election. All the necessary step will be taken, and violence and fraud will be resisted and exposed. An impression prevails among Southern delegates that a fair election will result in securing every Southern electoral vote for the constitution and restoration to civil government.
