During the war some Western gestlem en called at the White House and harangued Mr. Lincoln in an excited manner about the omis sions and commissions of the administration. He heaid them: with bis usual patience, and finally said: "Gentleman, suppose all the property you were worth was in gold and you bad put It in the hands of Blondin to carry jcrcss Jiiauara Falls on a tight rope, would you shake tlie rope while he was passing over it, or keep shouting to bim, 'lilondin. stoop a little Go a Utile faster No, I am sure you would not. You would hold your breath as well as your tongue, and keep your hands off until he was safely over.

Constantinople Con Fhllade'phia Telegraph. In March last, when General Grant, in the course of his cruise In the -Kandafta, came to Constantinople, his first visit was paid to the Sultan. Immediately after this interview His Majesty charged Munir Bey, the master ot Ceremonies to present the General with an Arab horse from i tbe imperial stables. Accordingly a number were led out, and one chosen and set aside for him but owing to some misunderstanding the gift horse was not sent, and tbe Vatuialia sailed without him. Recently, the question having been revived, the steed in question was bunted up among 570 horses which compose the imperial stud.

He was found, and accompanied by a second horse also for General Grant, transferred to the care of the American Legation. Arrangements have been made to send them in a few days on tbe Gorman Monarch, a steamer of 2,000 tons capacity, which will probably sail direct to New-Haven. Thoy are to be housed on deck, provided with canvas belts to swing ju in rough weather and treated like salobon rjassenirers. So it is to be reasonably hoped that the end of tbelr thirty days' passage will bnd them both sound In wind and limb. Ono is a dappled gray of fair size, and having all the traits characteristic of, the Arabian blood small.

well-set, restless ears, wide pink nostrils, and large, soft eyes, waving mane, and long tail reaching almost to tbe ground, and a skin of such delicacy that the stroke of a lady's whip is sufficient to draw blood. The other stallion bas all these points. He is a glossy black. witn a wane star on nts loreneod ami white hind When the long forelock falls over his forehead the large, block eyes bave all the expression of a Bedouin woman's. Their gait is perfect, be it either the rapid walk, the long swinging trot or the tlrelets stretching gallop, while a rein of one thread of silk is enough to guide their delicate mouth.

Let one of these Arabs in tue mau rusn 01 a charge or a ngut lose his rider and that instant the docile steed will stop as though turned to stone. These horses are of the famous Saktan race, the purest Arabian blood, oniy found: in and near Bagdad. The dapple gray is appropriately named Dievtan (Tbe Pauthert. and the black Missirli (Tbe One from Caira), which cogno men ho derives Irom the fact that he was bought at Cairo although foaled at Bagdad. For breeding purpose 9 as well as saddle horses their blood and gentle temper are high recommendations, and I have no doubt that our great General will he highly pleased with tlie sultan's girt.

1 TWO XEW BISHOPS. From th Aete- Turk Herald, May 9th. A despatch from Rome was received yester day in this city announcing that the Pope bad appointed the Tery Rev. Lawrence S. Mc- Mahon, Vicar General of Providence, R.

Blsboo of Hartford. and Rev. John Vertin, of, Negaunee, to be Bishop of Marquette. The Rev. atner Aicjianon is universally respected by all who know him in his diocese, and his appointment, a despatch from Newport states, gives great satisfaction.

His knowledge of all matters pertaining to the Church is very extensive. He has a pleasing address! as a preacher and is quite a favorate in social circles In Rhode Island. He was born in in New-Brunswick; He came to the United States when he was in the fourth year of bis age. His early studies were made in the public schools of Boston, Subsequently he entered tbe College of Holv Cross, Worcester, where he re mained till the college was burned down in 1651. He passed his rhetoric year in Montreal and finished philosophy in Baiti more.

From Providence he went to th College of Aix, in France, where he studied tneciogy, ending nis course in itome on jiarc-u 24, 1800. He was ordained pticst during that vear in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. by the Cardinal Vicar of His Holiness tbe late Pope Pius IX. On his return to America Father McMahon was employed: some short time in the uatnedraioi Boston, in looane accompanied tbe Twenty-eighth Massachusetts Regiment of Volunteers as Chaplain, and on coming home was sent to Bridgcwater as its first pastorJ On; the first of July, he succeeded Rev.

j. P. Tallon in tbe parish of New-Bedford." where he has labored; ever since. He built and almost paid for: the elegant Gothic Church of purchased land required for church purposes and established a hospital for the sick, the only one in that city. On the creation of the Diocese of Providence, iu 1872, the diocese comprising Rhode Island and some counties in Massachusetts, be became a subject of- the new diocese and 1 was almost chosen by Bishop Hendricken as his first Vicar-General.

In 1873 he received from Rome tbe degree of Doctor of Divinity, an honor which his scholarly attainments and great piety justly merited. 1 A PLUCKY; W0 JIAX. I -j -r Lady Layard, the wife of the iBritish Am bassador at Constantinople, is a handsome woman, gifted with a large heart and great. energy. Jler kindness tbe suffering Turkish refugees has won from them: the most en- gratitude.

And it is hot in Turkey only that her self-devotion and courage are appreciated. While her husband was stationed In Madrid as British Minister, Marsnai Serrano, the ex-Regent, pursued by the Republi cans on an accusation of conspiracy, sought relttge at ide untisn negation. as mis residence was. considered unsafe ifor him, the Layards earned bim In disguise to bantanuer, On arriving at tbe railway station tbe Mar shal eave his arm to Mrs. Lavard.

while Mr Layard walked behind with the bags, and in this manner tbey got safe into tbe train through a crowd of excited Republicans. At the Driuclnal stations on the road the Reds searched the carriages, but Mr. Layard stood at one door of their compartment and Mrs, Layard at the other, and prevented the men from entering, claiming the right of free passage as British representatives. At Saa tandcr a tug was engaged to take Serrano to ltiarritz. and at tbe last moment two civil guards came up and demanded permission to search Mr.

Layard stood in the gangway and refused to admit them, saying that tbe strange passenger was a messenger being sent by the British They desisted, the tug started; and Serrano was saved. For tbe Dart she had taken in the matter Mrs. Layard received the thanks of the British Govern ment in a special despitch the only instance on record of a lady being eo honored. POISONED BY A SEW KMFE. i From tit Detroit Host, May 5.

The many frieuds of ex-State Treasurer CoL YT. B. McCreery, of Flint, will rcitret to learn of a misfortune which lately befell him. While in New-York, recently, Col. McCreery nrchased a small pocket-knife, and in band-ng it scratched tbe back of tbe second finger of bis right band.

He thought nothing of it at the time, and soon after started on his return While en route the finger became very painful, and upon bis arrival at tbe Russell Bouse his hand and arm bad swollen to nearly twice their normal size. Becoming aJarmed, Col. McCreery summoned a physician, and was shocked to learn that, mortiliation had set in and bis finger would bave to be amputated in order to save bis lie returned to his borne Saturday, where it was expected tbe operation would be performed. Tbe only theory advanced for this singular case is that some poisonous substance had found a lodgment on the knife blade witb which the scratch was made. SOT APPRECIATED.

From the Cincinnati Oommereuil. It is to be regretted that through mismanagement Mr. Waliack aod the people of Cin cinnati are not becoming acquainted. If they could have been properly introduced they would bave enjoyed each others society very much. The Cincinnatian who goes to New-York and does not see Waliack at Wallack's, has to answer to the charge of misspent time, but Waliack cornea to Cincinnati and tbe event does not seem to be appreciated.

It is a ease in which there is an artificial barrier of some sort between the demand and the supply. SCARLET PETER. F) otn th Jvewv York Bun, May 9th.

Ms. Tai.m agk came out of bis- trial before the Presbytery with flying colors, being acquitted of tbe charges brought against him, by a vote cf against 20 for conviction. lpon the announcement of the result, Mr: Talmage made a very effective speech. In which he declared that he had no hard feelings and only wanted to be.

let alone. I preach the best I can," be said. "Yon can not stand to hear me preach, and I would not for a salary of five thousand dollars a year s't anil hear: sofL'e of yo preach." To tbU candid confession we dd a few char acteristic remarks, which are in tbe preacher's test vein: i Tbe thumb screws are goi.ig out of modern ecclegiasticism. There have things transpired in this Presbytery that are no more Presby-tcrianism than they are Sooth Sea cannibal ism, jnore iiDerty ol tnoutrea, ami deed hereafter in Brooklyn WecanDotali work the same war. My way of preaching is poor enough, but I know theirs will never save the world.

God seems to have blessed my work as much -as tie bas theirs: bnt I vrill make a bargain, with them: I will let them bave their wav. if tbev will let me have mine. It bas been sad on this trial that I bave ec centricities. If so, tbey are natural. I have never cultured but one eccentricity, and that is, never to pursue any one engaged In Christian work! It makes but little difference to me whether a fisherman uses Conroy tackle iWlth fly of golden pheosart, or a crooked stick which he cut out of the woods with his own jac'ikuife, if be only catches the fih.

Get mei Into the kingdom of God. Who cares about the way you get them in Is man the only creature sin the animal kingdom to whom is vouchsafed immortality all the other myriad forms of organic life parish witli the fleshi while man alone survives in a spirit life The question is an old one', and! can only be a subject ot vaguest peculation, but tbe affirmative side, has bad eminent advocates. ait the arguments or philosophy in favor of the immortality of man apP'y equally to the permanency of the immaterial principle in other living says Agasslz.

It is undeniable that the Democratic managers are deter- mined to entirely "reorganize'. the Police Force, from Superintendent to patrol-mnt), the Force will be subject to thorough Deraocratio overhauling. Superiors Bnd subordinate will sooner or later have to walk the plank, unless they pronounce the Democracy's local party Xo matter what an ofticer's record has been; no matter what a patrolman's fidelity, or a doorman's good behavior, if he is not a reliable Democrat, he will in due time be made to stand aside and give his place to some true-blue Democrat who is anx iously waiting for it. This is on the slate, and it is not surprising that the good citi zens of Buffalo are indignant and distressed upon contemplating such a pro posed prostitution of the City's best interests to inexorable partlianship. It is doubtless true that the best men in the ranks of the local Democracy -we do not mean the best workers, but the.

tax payers and law-abiding' citizens who do not want to see the municipal government converted 'into a mere party machine, and worked by unscrupulous partisans sin- ccrely deprecate theroposed demoraliza tion of the Police Force. They know that as administered during the past seven years the Police Department has be come a model for effective administration, thorough discipline, and vigilant service. It has been iu 110 way embarrassed by or subordinated" to party influence. The Commkrcial stated the other day, and it is a fact not to be disputed that today 'there are asi many Democrats on the in and in subordi- nate, position, as there are Itepubli-' cans." But all this is to be changed. Under 'Democratic management the De- partment will te made an instrument for the party's tjse.

There has been more party influence, brought to bear upon the: Commission in the two weeks since the! election of a Democratic Commissioner than has been manifested at any time within the past seven And now the Mayor and his party colleague on the Commission are beset night and day by the Democrats who want places now filled by men who are conceded to be capable, faithful and impartialJ We fear that the Democratic Commissioner and the Demo cratic Mayor will not te able to resist this parly even though they have to yield agijinit their 0W.1 personal conj vktious. We fear they will feel obliged as jjpodij party mcn to consent to iho appointment of Democrats who are- utterly iiicrnipf tent to till, any place ou the Police Force, and who are urjjed for, the places solely upon the ground of their being good Democrat The sensible men among the party managers realize that this is bad policy; they know that the! citizens generally will denounce such outi rjgeons demoralization of a how perfectly police organization. But they openly confess that they can not stand tljie pressure fhatthe boys insist up' on using jthe Force to serve their ends. aiid that the Police Department must go" to destruction, at least while the insatiate Democrats are in the enjoyment the power to do as they like. It is not a pleasant prospect; on th contrary it has a most discouraging effeci upon the lovers of law and order.

It di gusts aud grieves the Intelligent tax-paye to learu that a reliable and excellent Po4 lice Force must be ruined in order thai Democratic local politicians may profit the sacrifice. But among those who will thus deprecate the pernicious influence 'politics," will! be found Republican -who are to some responsible foi the evils which they now mourn over. The; were ivarneu at tne election lor fllayor an City officers that, if they deserted can didates regularly presented by thejr owi party, they -ran the. risk of turning th City overj to the Democracy. They were warned that a Democratic victory would be followed at the earliest opportunity by a complete subversion of the Police De partment, and of the JJire Department -r two institutions which the Republicans had brought up to a remarkable degree ol efficiency, and kept i as far as possible from improper partisan But such argument and warning hau little influence upon 'Republicans Jwho were imposed tipon by those who.

We have, no reproaches to make. The Republican! who Were lad away in the "independent' movement have to eat- bitter fruit; bat they plucked it with their eyes open anjd tasted it in spite of all remonstrances. They were urged not to jeopardize the best interests of the City Government, In chasing a W'ill-o-the-wisp, which was represented as the bright and shining light of 'reform." And now they have an opportunity to repent of their folly. Had all Republicans, putting aside personal prejudices, resolved to stand, by their party's candidates deeming it wiser so jto do than to run any risk of turning the City over to the Democracy the Police Department would not be in the condition in which it is found today in tlic hands of unscrupulous and Insatiable Democi-atie will not be satisfied until every place on the Force filled with men of their own stamp and political creation.

I THE ALVORD AMENDMENT. I The more carefully we examine the provisions of the so-called pending Alvord canal amendment the less we are pleased with it.i It was adroitly framed, and, apparently, with the design, of conveying he impression- that material coin-cessions were: made to the canal interests, when in point of fact very little is conceded. What is to be gained by It? It is true, the first and second sections of Article; VII. are abrogated. But these two sections are already rendered obsolete because' the debts under them have been fully paid except the turn of which has been provided for, and no longer: remains a.

lien on the revenues. Again, the Alvord compromise wipes out appropriated from the revenues to the General Fund by Section but the canals have not paid this item for years, and1 cannot pay it in, the future. Hence it is no compromise, but a submission to what is inevitable. Further it relieves the canals from the canal debt. But that can scarcely be regarded as a concession, because the Constitution as it stands, provides for the payment of that debt, principal and Interest, by a tax, if the revenues cannot pay it.

This is the manner: in which it is being paid now by a tax. The substitute of Mr. Alvord, in th judgment of many, Is a long stride in the' wrong direction. It is simply framed, as its author stated, to prevent the active opposition of the most stubborn opponents of a liberal canal policy, and what these gentlemen are willing to grant or do notj consider worth offering, may be put down as scarcely worth accepting. A close examination of the proposed compromise leads to the conviction that there is but one provision that can be called an improvement when compared with the existing article, viz the ono authorizing the Legislature by a two-thirds vote, to appropriate $500,000 to meet an extraordinary case.

Even this provision is so guarded that it would be of no avail 'except in rare cases. The meney can only be used for the purpose of "reparation and restoration words which fully explain OL OS IMG OUT OUR ENTIRE BTOC to the General Fund from the fund crcat- from the tolls, and in preference to any-other claim upon such fund. can it be returned from the revenues except by A strict compliance with; that clause which Mr. Alvobd retains in his compromise, namelyi The of toll on persons and property transported; on the canals shall not be reduced below those for the year 1802, except by ithe Canal Board with the concurrence of, the Bgislature Ih No provision, temporary or otherwise. 1 made to supply a deficiency in.

the revenues to meet the ordinary repairs of he canals. In other words the present obnoxious and dangerous, limitation clause Is retained in the proposed com promise, except in case of a break. An acceptance of Mr. Alvord's proposition Is simply the execution of bond, without adequate consideration, In which we obligate ourselves to discontinue all further efforts to maintain the commercial supre macy of the State. An-unqualified repeal Of that clause which that.

'thereafter the Expenditures- for collet tion-rsurierlntcndencc. ordinary and ex traordinary repairs of the canals named lit this section, shall not exceed, any year, their gross receipts for the previous with a positive provision for the maintenance of the canals In case of defi cient revenues, is the only compromise the State of New-York can, afford to make From the excellent service that Mr. Alvord lias rendered in the cause of low tolls, we had supposed that, although: he la indentifled with the railways, he was intelligent and far-seelns euouirh to cover that the cause of the canali and of the railways in New-York is identi cal, and that he favored a liberal policy fbPthe former! But we fear that, 1 under the) the ctilse of frienclshin. he has been doing i i canal "cause a great injury, pending Amendment is certainly not what the conditions tf the case Idemand; lint what! is beet to do under Ithe eiivum stauces, we inust leave for the true friends of the canals ih the Legislature to decide. It is believed by many intelligent canal nien tli.it it would be better to be defeat ed in a fair and square fight for the Hates Amendment than to accept aud pass the pending one.

if UNJUSTIFIABLE VETOES. Mr. Robinson is prostituting the alted position that he occupies for partisan urposcs in a way that ewj if any of liis predecessors have done. He seems to" look at everything that comes before him through partisan It matters ot how deserving or necessary a measure lay be, if it has the slightest political hearing, and is not likely to prove advant ageous to the new Albany Mr. Robinsoh Is certain to veto it.

For evidence of this It is only necessary to cite the measures local to this County that he has vetoed. The despatches in yesterday's Second Edition: announced that he had stricken from the Canal 'Ap propriation bill a number of items for Erie County aggregating in all nearly a hundred thousand dollars. Among them was the appropriation pf $25,000 for Con structing a viaduct under Black; Rbck harbor to provide an outlet for the North- side Trunk Sewer, the need of which is so severely felt by the 'residents' of the Seventh and Eleventh Wards. The other items are for necessary canal work. He advances as reasons for disapproving jhe.se items that it is unsafe to deplete the canal revenues to this extent, aud that the im provements are not needed.

1 'How much 'orce there is to the first objection is shown the fact that an unexpended bal- uce of $00,000 was left over from last ear. 1 As to the second objection, quite as good udges as Mr. Robisson have decided hat the improvements were necessary. regard to the sewer aqueducts lie: say hat it is questionable whether the! Iiegls- ature has a right to provide sewerage ny City. On the contrary it is certain hat the State has no right to interpose bstacles in the way of the natural sewer- ee of any City.

Buffalo existed- before hs Erie Canal was constructed, and by its construction the City's sewerage was cut joff. It is only reasonable therefore tb-ask ithe State to provide an outlet for' the -main sewer under the obstruction it has jplaced in the way. A Republican; Legis lature saw the justice of the-demand made by the distressed people of the Seventh and Eleventh Wards, and made the appropriation, but a Democratic Governor struck it from the bill. are facts that the electors iu these Wards would do well tp keep in mind. But we are informed oh good authority that the inwardness of the veto may be found in the fact that the money so appro priated is to be expended under the (direc tion of the State Engiueer, who is an Antl Tlldenlte, instead of by the Superinten dent of Public Works, who is a thoroug' Romnson-Tilden man.

I Another very pointed illustration Mr. RobinsoVS ultra partisanship: found in his veto of the bill empow ering the judges of the Superior to appoint Commissioners for the City and County Hall. The desigij of the measure was to remove costly and yaliiable building from the arena, of active politics, The judges were to appoint a nonHpaj-tisan Commission, two members of which! were to be taken from tlie country. Not hing fairer than this could be asked. But the Governor vetoed it on the; ground! that judges should not be asked to meddle in politics, and that the towns Would hot be represented in! the This last objection indicates that Mr, Robinson did not even take the trouble to examine the bill, but took the say so of some local politician.

As for the chief objection that the Court should not be required jto make political appointments, we have! only to go back a few years to find good Democratic precedent for all that was proposed and more too. IThe- last time the Police Force went into the hands of the De mocracy this same Court appointed the The gentlemen selected were Messrs. Cor rt Cutting and Best, all extreme partisans. The'; only difference between the bill passed bjr the Democrats at that time the oue jus vetoed is that under the former ultra Democrats were appointed to Office, while the latter representatives of both parties would have been selected. The true reason for Mr.

Robinson's action is found in the fact that as matters now stand, the Mayor, the Comptroller and the Chairman of the Board of Super visors all Democrats will have control of the bulldinj-, and the City Hall will be'eonverted into a Democratic machine just as the Fire and Police Departments have been. I 1 1 Senator Edmunds made a superb speech yesterday in support of sound Republican doctrine, in defence of the purity of the ballot-box, and ih vindication of the rights of free-citizenship. The Senator from Vermont Is always eloquent, always logical. What he said yesterday will have its influence" upon the thinking men of the country, thongh it failed to persuade the caucus-bound Democratic Senators. When the returns are received, however, in the National election the defeated Democrats will regret they did not heed the handwriting on the wall, to which Senator Edmunds, and other earnest Republicans nre now calling their attention.
