Montry wai'fcafe Mlb hmdV. in thfNorlh ue io( OUR NATIONAL GAME. TME MTIOML SlfMTIOfc The BegistiV Law The Next Oppor. tlinitV. The New York World of this morning contains a spirited appeal to to the Conservative voters of Brooklyn and New York to defeat the expectations of the men who passed a cumbersome and irksome EegiBtry law in the hope of disfranchising aJ large number of the voters ofjlhese two great Conservative communities.

We find no fault with the World in coupling tie names of the two cities in this connection, but it seems to us that the World, and those for whom it speaks can for the present advantageously concentrate their efforts in arousing the voters of New York to a Bense of their duty. The people of Brooklyn have shown commendable zeal in meeting the men who hope, to disfranchise white, voters, on their own ground.

An English writer attributes the success which earned for Daniel O'Oonnell the title of the "Great Agitator" to the fact that he always took care to supply his followers with a political rallying cry short enough to be easily caught up by the populace, and comprehensive enough to explain his purpose to the small minority who trouble themselves about the meaning of party watchwords. Thus his efforts to dissever the parliamentary union between England and Ireland, involved only, as he argued, the repeal of the act of Union, passed in 1800, and under which all legislative power was merged in the Imperial Parliament.

The "Great Agitator" epitomised his plan by designating it as the "repeal movement," and the mass of his followers could explain their object by simply contending that they were struggling for "repeal." "Eepealer" and patriot soon became convertible terms, and no man's cranium was, at one time, safe from fracture in an excitable crowd of Irish patriots FOR COuifiOTOB OF TAXES AND ASSaSSMBMTS.

If the loeaker wore to preabn in tbe South, he would talk mildly to them lest they Bhould Bay to blni; "In what State were you born? and he would be obliged to say with great confusion of face, "Connecticut" (Laughter.) Beferring again to the President, Mr. Beecher Bald that he indorsed President Johnson, yet he would remark that thus far be could not lay his hand upon anyaotof bis whioh did notseem to him to be wise and just and beneficial. THE SPIRIT OF KINDNESS. Tbauk God for the eminentservloos and for the wiBdom of Mr. Johnsonl It is remarkable what a unity there is in the nation as to tho wisdom ol his course.

That those who voted for him should havo confidence in him is not surprising; but that wMoU Wdnldattraot the attention of all was the fact tbat the men that hated him and voted against him aro au now converted, and have'oll adopted Mr. Johnson as taeir President. He' believed that every measure for tuo amelioration or the black race must be dona with tne cordial consent of the gocd peoplo of the rjoath. im mere passing of laws by the government would never better their condition. The kindneBS of the white people of the South toward the blaok is of more value than all the lawB of the nation put together.

In conclusion, Mr. Beecher attacked any soheme whioh would invite tho emigration of tho black race from this country, and urged the policy of giving tho ballot, quoting the words of Sherman The man who carries a musket on behalf of this country has the right to carry a ballot." Visit ol the Tunisian Embassy to Brooklyn The? become the Guests of Hon. Moses F. Odell, and Visit Sands St. M.

E. Sabbath School Address bv General Hashen. Yesterday, the Tunisian Ambassador, Gen eral HoBbem, accompanied by several members of his BUite, among whom were Colonel Bomoro and the Cheva" Her Conto.paid a brie visit to Brooklyn. Mr, Perry' American Consul ot Tunis, acted as cicerone and inter, preter to tie distinguished foreigners. During the oar Her part of the day they were tho guests of the Hon.

Moses F. Odell. In tho afternoon they went to the Sands St, M. E. Sabbath school, where thoy remained during the Bohool Bession.

Tho Bchohrs wero introduced to General Hashem by Mr. Odell, who then explained to the ambassador the charaoter and nature of Sunday Schools, showing how thoy are designed to educato the heart, inot the head. They were astonished at what they heard, and said it was tho first thing of tho kind they had ever Been. They had witnessed muoh that excited their wonder and admiration in this great country, but that men and women should devote themselves to work of this kind without pay: that young people should bo organized and disciplined for such a purpose as had been explained to them, was tho greatest wonder of an. They then went through tho various departments of the school.

They visited tho infant class, larger than all tho Bible olasses put together, and em with manifest pleaeuro the numerous happy faces they found there. General Hashem afterwards addressed the school in Arabic, hie remarks being interpreted by Consul Peny. He said that since he bad beon In Amerloa he had visited some of our charitable institutions, our manufactories, tho Brooklyn Navy Yard and other places all of which had improssed him deeply with the material greatness cf the country; but tho existence of Sundays schools showed that the moral and religious advancement of tho country was equally gieat, all of whleb be was delighted lo know. Ho said, in addition, that in his own land tbe notion that had no religion was never considered of any account. Tho embissy retired highly pleased with their visit.

To monow, Tuesday, tho Tunisian embassy will leave for Washington, where they will remain for a few days, and on their return immediately embark for their own country. Ine First Dutch Reformed Church Introduction of the New Pastor. The Eev. Mr. Kimball, who has accepted a call to the Joralemon Street Dutch Beformod ChuicD.

prcocbed yesterday in that placo of worship. Mr' Kimball is a native of Newbnrgh, and graduated nearly twenty years ago at tho Associated Reformed Theological Seminary then in operation in that city Ho was at first settled at Brockport, and during tie last two years and a half has been stationed ai Fishkill. Wherever bo bas pcrfoimed the duties of a clergyman ho bas met with tbe love and esteem of his people, aud it has always been with great reluctance tbat thoy havo permitted him to leave. Tho membciB of the Joraletuon Street It. D.

Church are particularly fortunate in securing the services of so able and beloved a minister. With quiet, unassuming manners wbon out of the pulpit, Mr. Kimball has all thoso essential qualities which constitute iho elements of a good and laitbful pastor. Though of a retiring disposition, ho has au ex taemely winning way about him. Ilia pleasant amue and cordial greeting make him a general favorite with his parishoners.

As a preacher his Btjlo Is Ibrciblo and earnest, not flowery but impassioned. Yesterday morniug Mr. Kimball took for his text tho 9th vereo of tbo 15tb chopter of St. John, and deiivorcd a short, clear, and concise sermon, without making use oi any notes. The substanco of the discourse was as follows: Commencing with the text "As the Father had loved me, so bavo I loved you continue yo in my love," ho endeavored to describe tho love of Christ, and to enforce tbe neccFBily for our having this lovo as a possession.

First, illusi rating God's watchfulness over us by tbo vision that appeared to Jacob when ho saw tho Almighty with a host ol angels, he tried to show by tnis Incident how little wo realized His power and majesty. Like tho infant in its mother's arms wo did not begin to appreciate the lovo and kindness exhibited towardB us. Wo wero but babes in tho knowledge of this affection. Ono reason for Christ's coming to this world was to teach us the depth of this lovo. The preacher then went on to consider some of the characteristics of Christ.

Tho first was love. We all thought much of tho lovo of our fellow creatures, and even of tbo bruto creation, but how much moro ought we to esteem the lovo ol Christ. Ibis was a lovo otlong standing. It was influitelv better than any other, because it dated from no particular peiiod of time it had endured from tho begining. It was also imperishable.

Mony things of beauty decayed. Tbe pleasure we took in looking at any lovely object of crea tion was saaiy niorreu oy mo mougut ui tin uppruuuuuig diEBolution, but tho love of Christ nevor died. Mountains and bills might topple and fall, tho snn might forbear to give forth its rays, tho pulses of tbo ocean coaso to throb.but the lovo still exists. Besides its inimortali'y it was eminently practical. Whllo Cbirat was on this earth, II was not foi gotten In Heaven, but was over glorified tbere.

Tho lovo of Christ to His peoplo as. Burned different shapes according to their wants. Sometimes it came in tho form of correction or discipline; times it appeared in the time of need or apprehousiun; and sometimes it manifested itself as a consoler in hoars of affliction. Our duty in connoction with this fact, constituted tho second head of Mr. Kimball's disoourso.

"Continue ye in my lovo." It was not sufficient for us to acquire this lovo, but it must remain, abide, and dwell in us through all time to etcinity. In tho faeo of all discouragements, wo must cling to it as tho only safeguard. Notwithstanding tbe poor estimation in which it was held among multitudes of meo, who spurned a way Ibis pearl of great price, wo must continue in tUo faith. HiB lovo was a substantial fabric, and, by no meats, an illusion. We should realise its ceaBolcss outgoings, and learn from tbo story of Jacob that God is ever by us.

It was through this living in Christ's love from day to day that wo mieht know provision was mada for us in another ond a better world. Some peoplo might think they had not strength to abide in it amidst the temptations of this earth. But God had told us to dwell in the lovo of Christ, and it was the only way to Balvation. The richest of rewaids wero in waiting for all who accepted this plan. Wo mast remember tbat God was offering himself to us, and asking us togiveour Boives to Him and bolievo in His word.

This Paper has the Largest Circulation an? Evening Paper published in the United States.

Its yalne as an Advertising Medium, is therelore apparent. The Chicago Platform as a Republican Campaign Document. The Eepublican journals must count largely on the foigetfulness of the American people, or else they have very little respect for their intelligence. Since the opening of the present campaign there is not a Eepublican editor or orator, who has alluded to the Chicago Platform, who has not summarized its terms about as follows: It declared the war to be a failure. It advocated submission to traitors.

It insulted our soldiers and sailors. It acquiesced in pcaco on any terms As a matter of curiosity and it is little more let us see what the Chicago Platform did say. The first resolution is as follows: Resolved, That in the furore as in tho past, we will adiiero with unswerving fidelity to the Union under tho Constitution as the only solid foundation of onr strength, security and happiness as a people, and as tho frnoio work of government equally conducing to tho welfare and prosperity of all the States, botn northern and Southern. Most assuredly, there was no intention on the part of the men who could speak in these terms of the value of the Federal Union to abandon it and in view of the fact that the sever ance of the Union svould make obsolete every great measure of Democratic policy and was certain to annihilate the party known as Demo cratic. The second resolution is that with which most fault was found, and it is as follows, verbatim cl literatim: Resolved, That this Convention does expressly declaro as the sen; of tho American people, that alter four years of failure to restore tho Uniou by tho experiment oi wat, during which, under the pretence of military necessity, or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself haB been disregarded in every put, and publicliberly and private rights trodden down, and the material property of the country essentially impaired justice, humanity, libcny and the public woltaro demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate Convention of the States, or other ptaceable means, to tho end that at tho earliest practicable moment, peaco may bo restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the Stales.

There is nothing said hero about the war being a lailure, as a war. The platform cannot honestly be read in view of subsequent events. At the time it was written it stated what was simply true, that four years of war had failed to restore the Union. Had the Convention meant to say that in a struggle in which the government, supported by twenty, two millions, had been worsted by opponents numbering less than eight, it could not with any show of consistency or self respect, have passed the compliment, and made tho pledges it did to the defenders of the government in the seventh resolution, which reads as follows: "Resolved, That the sympathy of the Democratic parly is heartily and earnestly extended to tho soldiers ot our army and Eailors of our navy, who ere and bavo been on the field and the sea, UDder the Has of their country; and in tho event of Its attaining power, thoy will receivo all the eare, protection and regard that tho bravo soldiers and sailors of the ltepublic have so noblv. earned." We have said that it is not just to judge the men who framed and adopted the platform at Chicago, in the light of subsequent events.

Political parties that deserve to live must meet questions of public policy as they are presented; this the Democratic party did not shrink from doing in August 1864, any more than it does in November 18G5. Tho supreme issue in the campaign when the Democratic Convention met in Chicago in August 1804, was presented by Mr. Lincoln's famous letter addressed 'To whom it may concern," through the Confederate agents who assembled, under Mr. Greeley's auspices at Niagara Falls in June 1861, In that letter Mr. Lincoln demanded, while tho Government was still exposed to all the hazards of battle, not only acquiescence in the suprem acy of tho Constitution and the consequent restoration of the Uniou, but agreement in the abolition of slavery, under a proclamation regarded by Mr.

Lincoln himself as of very doubtful legality. Mr. Greely, even, was so disappointed by the President in throwing this new obstacle in the way of the discussion of terms of peace, that he abandoned his attempt to bring about a settlement in disgust. The more subservient editor of the JYeits York Times Mr. Raymond declared in his paper, then the Metropolitan organ of the Administration, that Mr, Lincoln was neither bound by his duty to his country nor by his oath of office to make any stipulation as to the teims of Confederate surrender, beyond the restoration of the Union.

Nine tenths of the adherents of both political parties were of the same mind. The Democratic party, in its Convention, met this issue, and in the resolution which we have quoted, declared itself willing, if entrusted with power, to make peace on what terms? the Federal Union of tho States. Had the issue been made up in July instead of in November, and had the sense of tho people been taken upon it then, Mr. Lincoln would not have carried a single State outside of New England. Ah! but it is said the Dsmocracy wore in favor of making terms with rebels in arms.

Well, was not Mr. Greeley was not Mr. Lincoln? The difference between the party in power and the party out, was that the latter was in favor of making peace on the "basis of "the Federal Union of the States," while tho representative of the formtr demanded something more, and in this demand his most pliable and subservient supporters could not sus tain him. From documents which have come to light since, it appears that Mr. Greeley was not only in favor of opening negotiations with "rebels in arms" but was in favor of purchasing assent to the abolition of slavery by paying to the South four hundred million dollars, for every dollar of which the industry of this people was to have been mortgaged.

And Mr. Greeley not only defends his course, in view of all that has since taken place, but claims that if negotiations had been opened in June, 1864, on his terms even, tho nation would have saved $500,000,000, and one hundred thpusand precious lives. Mr. Greeley argues, and we believe truly, all that was necessary at any time after the petulant fury of the Confederates had spent itself, to divide the South and unite the North as one man, was to shoW to the South that all that was asked was the restoration of the Union and to let the political opponents of the administration at the North see that thoso terms would not be accepted by the South. Suppose for a moment that the issue of war had gone against us, who could measure the denunciations which would have been heaped upon those who stood in the way of peace on the basis of the reunion of the States As it is, who can honestly blame the party who stood in 18G4 on the ground taken by all parties in 1861 that the war was waged for the restoration of the Union and ought to cease when that object was accomplished.

The Chicago platform did not go for peace on any terms; it did not declare the war, as a war, to be a failuro it did not insalt our brave defenders on the contrary it pledged them the care, protection and regard" they 'so nobly earned but it did pledge the party that adopted it to make peace on the basis of the Federal Union of the States and if that was treason, we are willing that ous political opponents shall make the most of it." Bents in Eichmond have gone down as rapidly as they rose. As an instanoe, is mentioned that the rent of the Spottswood House has been reduced from $6,000 to $3,000.

Tbtbunb vs. Eagle A Pleasant Encounter on Saturday, seleoted nines from thoEioiKand Tritane offices met on the Star Grounds, when a friendly game of base ball ensued, resulting In a marked victory for the Eaole. The Star Club generously donated tho use of the ground, but unfortunately no ono was pre. sent to givo the use of the bases, and thoso unnecessary appliances were, therefore, dispensed with. Tbe game jws an exceedingly friendly ono, and in players, scorers end Umpire, represented newspaper men.

The fielding: of tho Tribune nine Iwas very good) many handsome fly catches being made. Tho EagX nine were hoavy at the bflt doing muoh execution thereat. At tho conclusion of the game tho Trititne nine ond friends were genorously taken in band by Wm. Hester, Cashier ol the Eiole, and spont a couple of hours very pleasantly at the Merchant's Coffee House, comer ot Court and Ealt'c streets. Hero amid tho festive enjoyment, bourb, Speeches, ensued.

Mr Micbaclis, of thejrriftajie, sang the Marsollsles, in tbe native dialect, nicely. Other songs followed, when tho TriLune nine wero formally welcomed by Mr. Sutton, who spoko of the extreme difference of views of their respective Journals and tho perfect homogenloty of the two nines. Not a Jarring noto of discord, or nn. pleasant reminiscenco remained of tho day's enjoyment, and he hoped tho fuluro contests might bo ovoc as friendly as the present ono.

Tubman is a colored lady, of 35 or 40 years of ace; Bbe appeared before tboie present with a wounded hand In a bandage, wbicb wound sbe stated was oiused by maltreatment received at the bands of a conductor on the Camden and Amboy railroad, on het trip from Philadelphia to Now York, a few days sinco. Her words wero in the peculiar plantation dialect and at times woro not intelligible to tbe white portion of her audience. Thoro wat notblne particularly impressive in her remarks; sbo was born, Bbe said, in tho eastern part of the Stato of Maryland, and wanted it to bo distinctly understood that she was not educated, nor did sboreoolvo any "brouRht en up;" "Bhe camo up." Thereforo, she oonoludod, she was not St to mix In political matters.

John Brown was ono of her particular friends. Her master vub a good man, but sho knew that God had directed her to perform other works in this world, ond so sho esoapad from bondage. This was nearly 14 years ago, since then she bas aBBisted hundreds to do the same. Her narration of her sickness, previous to her escape, was filled with nepro phrases and elicited shouts of laughter Irom tbe congregation, tho entering most heartily into it Mrs. Tubman stated tbat she was known as Mosos, having received tbat name from Lloyd Garrison, and sho went on to speak of her experience In the hospitils aud of tho sufferings of tbo soldiers.

At tbls point, an alarm was raised among those present, by the report that tho nailery was falling. Too utmost excitement prevailed for five or ten minutes, during which women screamed, men shouted and children bawled, and few succeeded in eseapinc from tho building. Order was at last restored, when it was dlscoverod thot the trouble originated by some person leaning against the stove pipe in ono corner of tbo cburob, aud a portion of tbo plpo eavo way, causing considerable noise, which resulted in tho alarm about tbe gallery. Had it not been for several persons, who retained ttietr presence of mind and quitted the grouodleeB fears of theso present, less of life might have ensued, as iu tho panic ensuing many might havo been trampled to death in endeavoring to escape from tho building. The leoturer closed her remarks soon after ordor bad been restored.

Kev. J. M. Williams, pastir of the church, then arose, and after a brief introduction, come down to the point by aeking all to "come down" with their greenbacks, which was done. He went on to pralso Mrs.

Tubman, spoke of her medioine, which was extensively used among the poldiers with vast benefits, and wound np by having hiB llltlo fling at President Johnson, whom he ccnsideredagreotloverof the rebfls, because he granted them so many paraous. air, uiiimuiuuiuuutiiaBtnis, and expressed considerable indignation at the course of the Executive. Mr. Will ama was followed by Mr. Johnson, a colored map, who made a few remarks In behalf of Mrs.

Tubman. Tbo meeting was dismissal with tho benedlotlon. City Mobtalitt. The following were the principal causes of death daring the week ending 31st Consumption, 10; Convulsions, Typhoid furor, Marasmus, Dysentery, and of various otbor dlBeases 66. Total 08.

Unqualified Bnteemcnt of President Mnson, For some time past, articles in the Inde. pendent bavo appeared as leading editormk which wero supposed by many to havo been written by Kev. Henry Word Beecher, of this city. The spirit of the articles, and the peculiar pains token to arraign President Johnson and to endorse tho wiloeat utterances of theradloals, rendered it necessary, that Mr. Beecher should express his real views on the present condition of affairs, in order that tho artioles attributed to mm miRnt no dlsnroved and passed over to their proper autnor.

Act. ing upon this view of tho case, Mr. Beecher improved the occasion of a very large congregation to reviow tno National Situation at some length. He selected, as the basis of his remarks, me lollowing verse, from 1 Samuel, viii 12 ThMi Rnmiifll took a Rtonfl. and sot it up betwoan Mfoiutth and Shen.

and oallofl the nam of it Ebea ezer, saying, Hitherto tho Lord hath helped us." Tvnm tiits ir. Ttfifirhpr cinimcd that the signal inter position of Divine Providence, as shown when tlie Ark of the Covenant was restored to tho people of Israel, had been repeated unto us If ever a nation had oocasion to exclaim: "HITHERTO THE LOUD HATH HELPED OS. It is this people, and it wero a fitting thing for us if wo were to set up the corner stone again of the edifice of our liberty and make it a stone of witness and a memorial and write upon it, "Ebenezer," for hitherto tho Lord hath helped us." And this would be not only a grateful recognition oi tne past dui uupem'. yiovi ui tha ftihirn. nhiiRtian men in this land ought to recog nize God's hand by a religious, cheerful trust in regard to tbo future, uur aiuicutties are uuieuueu a wuuu know; but what are thoy now as compared with thoso through which wo have triumphantly passed? compared with those four years ago threo years, one year ogo 1 It is a remarkable factthat hitherto no statesman has ap.

peared who haB been able to lay down betoreliand any principle or plan of action. Question upon question, like trunks ot trees in a forest, have risen beyond each other, and no one has been able to give a probable solution to them in advance; and yet, as wo drew near to them wo began slowly to Beo the way In each instance how to overcome them. One by one the differences were slowly surmounted, and as it was in the days past bo we have a right to believe it will bo in the days to come. li is unfitting in us as a nation, after what has passed, to indulgo in ono momen'ts doubt, or fear, or despondency; for despondency is ingratitude, and hope in God is worship. CONCILIATION TO THE SOUTH.

An have not failed hitherto to be persistant in de nouncing in advance a threatening wronfr, so now I am glad, on the other hand, to be persistent In advocating lenity, charity, sympathy toward our Southern brethren, and so far as wo may, conEistently with our duty for gelfulness. Hitherto, when slavtr? was a power in Iho land, Hue men In the North were obliged to be stern and unflinching; there was no room for charity wnen every instrument of charity was employed tor our destruction as a witness for slavery. Now it is different. But circumstances have changed, and if wo aro wise wo shall adapt ourselves to these circumstances, and adopt a kind and conciliototy policy toward tho South, llotvcanit be cxpi cted that thoBo who have beon grasped by the red hund of war forget in a sin do hour their enmity and their chopnn their lire long prejuaices. wo aro to remember that convalescence, often, is slower thanjtho run of the disease itself, aud it is asking too much of men to expect that in a few hours they will bo sitting, clothed in their right mind, side by side with u.

Nor aro wo to demand the surrender of tbelr philosophies and morals as preliminary to our confidence and trust. Tho leading men of the South have made no profession of giving up the theory of secession; lor ray own part I Bhould have baa less trust ia them if they bad professed to givo up that convict on, All wo ought to ask is tuat they shall accept as a fact tho polisy oi Union as tho settled condition of this Government en this continent hereafter; do this, and they may keep as many theories as they please. I only ask toom to accept the ot the Union, inseparable and foiever. FBEE LABOR ITS OWN GUARANTEE. Nor do I think we Bhould distrust tho profession of thoso who, in tho Soutb, profess to desire concord and union.

It is said that they want to get back, and when olcc icinsuitea tneir place again tuoy will do as tnev please. How do you propose to romedy tho matter? Somewhere man is to be believed and trusted, or all possibility of co operatii government is at an end. But it is said that wo should receive guarantoo lor tho future before we receive them back. What guarantees? How are wo to eucuro tuem? 1 tmnk tno best guarantee that can be given is tho utter destruction of Blavery. Man is under tho influence of organic laws, and the Southern neoDle havo beon and ore what ttioy havo been made only by tho power of the institutions under whioh thoy lived, wnicu oouna mum unu pusueu tuem as iiuus im amps on shoro.

Now, slavery being destroyed, tho cause of collision is uestroyea. l'reo mou, pursuing iree lanor in tbo Scuth. and what ouaranteo do vou want? Wo do not get into collision wild Canada nor with the States of tno west, wnero luuur is uui it is saiu mat tuero should be a spirit of bumility shown by tho Sooth in coming back. It is said that God does not receivo sinners back until they aro humblo. When you aro God you need not take them back until they are humble.

I think he will be the wisest statesman wdo knows how to carry them through this perilous transition with tho least eaoiifice of their pride. EXTENDING THE HAND OF GREETING. For myself, I would go backward and throw a mantle over their nakedness, and givo them all tho help I could until they shall stand erect in tho full manhood of American citizenship, I don't want to seo these men humbled moro than war has humbled tbem. We glory in our lost, in thoso who perished in a cause which has triumphed; but through all tho South tho mourning is that their loved ones hove perished in a causo which has perished; and do I hear men standing beBlde thatgiean tic waste Bay, before we receive them back to our confidence, let us seo them humbled? I am anxious that thoso who hove hitherto been most active for freedom should produce tho first impiesion on tho minds of our Southern citizens ot kiujiy feeling toward them. I am very thankful tbat Mr.

Garrison and others havo beon found pleading for lenity, and I would that this spirit wero more univorsal, and that we did not stand demanding justice whilst those men in the North that hove stood aaainst tho Government oxtond tho nana of giejling to tho Soutb, and pioduoe tho feeling that they alouo are the trnofriendBoftho North and South. I cannot read, except with disapprobation, much tbat has been written with regard to tho stato of things at the South. A KINDLY VOBD FOR GEN. LEE. I was pained with many of tho criticisms that were passed upon General Lee upon bis assuming tho presidency ol collego.

When our history comes to bo written it cannot bo covered tbat General Leo committed himself to the cauBO of rebellion; but, since that tlmo, his course and career, on behalf of those whoso service he entered, have been devoid almost ot reproach. When the war ceaBed who could have been more modest? Who coaid have been moie truo to his word and honor than he? And when called by his fellow citizens to bo president of a collego, ttteso carping criticisms aro in dulgedln. Must ho not do sometmng lor a living? For my own part I was thankful tbat be was called to that presidency, and I have reason lo believe that the young men who graduate under him will in tbo main be true and faithlul to the Government ho lives undor, and that ho will set them on example. Tho injurious criticism is not magnanimous; wo aro tho stronger party, and if there iB to be magnanimity anywhoro wo aro to show it. Just now the TWO GREAT PRACTICAL QUESTIONS are: First Tho admission of Southern States and Southern citfzons to a participation in our national affairs, and, secondly, a complete and permanent restorati jn of tneir rights to the black men of our country.

It Is desirable on every account that the blaok man should bo restored at the earliest moment to tho full enjoyment of bis rights as a citizen. Tbe cause of our trouble must be destroyed. It is right tbat tho State Conventions which have been called in tbo South should abolish slavery. Certainly it is right that wo Bhould soy to them on tho threshold coming bank If you aro to participate in this Government again you must swear never avain to attempt to destroy it, and by your Constitution must Bet forever at rest ail possibility of secession and disunion. I think that those Conventions should certainly have prescribed for and establish the condition of tbefreedman.

They Bhould have establish tho condition ot tbo freedtnan. They should bavo established his right to labor, and bis right to property wben acquired; and to acquire as much as other citizens. Tbat is the first thing tbat should have been done in giving him his freedom, and it should have been done by their Conventions. Be Bbculd have beon made tbo eqnal of tho wbite man before tho courts and in tbe eye of the law. Be should be as much a witness as the white man that assaults him.

It is part of his emancipation to put him under the protection of tho law. POLITICAL, NOT SOCIAL, EQUALITY DEMANDED. I bold, also, that it would have been wise to have given him tbe suffrage, because it is always un wis i and inexpedient to deny to man the exercise of his natural rights. If there be any such thing as a natural right, it is the right lo vote. It is said toat the right of citizenship Is an acknowledgement of civil equality.

Do you BUppose tbat you are all equal to eaoh other In a social sense? I conieES that I am so far under tho Influence of old prejudices, yet, tbat I have never wanted to many a black woman. (Laughter I have said often and often again that If there is to be an inter mingling it ought to bo under marrlago and not concubinage. COosa men who hold up this bugbear of miscegenation before us are tbo men whose offspring is scattered upon every plantation in the South. I do not, therefore, hold that the black man Is socially the equal of the white man that is edu cated ho not being educated and refined. With theae provisions in the several constitutional conventions of the Southern States, guaranteeing the citizenship of the black man, I think that all difficulties would abate; but without any Buch guarantee, there is very muoh mischief that may arise, and that probably will arise.

It will boa trouble, however, which will only affect tbo South. These lour millions of people are not in onr midst; thoy are for the most part in the Soutb, and if there is any collision, it will bo there, not here; in their own bowels will be these cramps and colics, not In ours. I do not know what the President's mind is in regard to this matter. THE PRESIDENT'S BETIOENOE. Much complaint baB been made of his retloanoe, but if a man bas nothing to say it iB wise to keep silent.

Mr Beecher then adverted to tbe President's loterview with the delegation from South Carolina, a Stale whioh bo termed (ironically) fingularly diffident tnd modest, whatever else may be said of it. South Carolina sent a delegation to advise the government what to do. The remark then made by the President would be remembered By all. Bethought the Chief Magistrate of the doUod then tpoke wisely, and he was willing to trust him with the rest. Ho believed that eajh question came up, it would bo solved with wisdom, and mat the on the registry lists of this city thirty five thousand names are rccoroeu.

ut, uiu utu thus displayed must not be suffered to flag. At the last election there were forty four thousand votes cast in this county. The names of several tnousana vuieis mo still missing; we must not rest con. nntil evfirv voter in Brooklyn has gone through all the formulas necessary to enable him to cast his ballot on election day. The law is aimed more especially at naturalized citi zens.

The opponents ol tins ciass iaiseiy us sume that tho adopted citizen takes so little intfirfist in his vote that he will not go to the trouble to get his name on the poll list. Let the adopted citizens snow mat none vtuua more highly than they do the privileges our free and liberal constitution confer upon them. If your name is not on the poll list betore the day of election, you cannot deposit your ballot. you have neglected your duty at the first meeting of the Inspectors, which was held on Tuesday last, you can attend to it on Friday week, the 3d of November; on Saturday, the 4th of November, and on Monday, the 6th of November. Personal attendance on the part of those who desire to get their names registered is absolutely necessary.

Adopted citizens must produce their certificates of naturalization, or if lost, be prepared to show that fact. In case this is done, the affidavit of the citizen will be taken as proof of his citizenship. The Board of Eegistrars will meet at eight o'clock in the morning on the day we have named, and will continue in session until nine o'clock at night. One more effort on the part ot the friends of full and free election, and Brooklyn at all events will be safe. Let us see to it that every one of the forty four thousand voters who took part in the last election, are prepared to doposit their ballots on the 7th of November next.

There are over nine thousand names still missing. We must see to it that they are recorded Eeader! ifyouaio one of the delinquents, see that you aie prepared on Friday week to get your name on tho list. Call the attention of your neighbor to the law, and prevail on him to attend to its provisions, if possible, on the first day Tuesday, the 3d of November. By doing so once, we can wipe tho burthen some law off the Statute books forever, and give the lie to those who assert that the Democratic majorities always given by King County were due to fraudulent voting. Young Men's Christian Association Social Ite Umon To morrow Evening.

Culpable Recklessness. On Saturday morning a propeller named tho Thomas Connell, ap proached the drawbridgo over Newtown Creak, at Bhss ville, L.

without blowing tho customary signal for slacking her speed. Michael Wonderly, who, attends tho bridge, at the approach of the boat ran to open tho draw, but before ho completely effected this, the vessel had reached the draw, striking it violently and smashing ono of tho gear wheels. Wonderly's wifo camo to his assis tancc, when a rope attached gave way, striking them in such a manner as to knock them down in an insensible condition. The propellor now proceeded on her course, nono of tho hands even offering to assist the injured par ties. Sergeant BocU of tho 4ith precinct police, with eral others, procured a boat, and Wonderly and his wifo were conveyed from tho bridgo and medic 11 aid summoned from Greenpolnt in tho person of Dr.

Snell Wonderly is now rccuvcring, but his wifo who was the mCBt severely injured, is pretty Eeriouely hurt, and in ci cat pain. Let tho police keep an eye out for tuts pro pellor, and see then if tho pilot can't be severely pun ished for his dangerous proceedings. Since writing the above it has been learned that Wonderly died yesterday afternoon at about 6 o'clock from tho effects ot his injuries. He had been injured internally. Sckeogate's Coubt.

The citizens of the 4th Ward rcsidingin tho vicinfyof Bridgo and Tillary streets, are much excited just now in reference to tho niacin of a pump ot tho junction oi tnese street, a.

short time since the Common Council appropriated tho sum of $100, to clean out and repair the pump on tho corner of Bridge and Tillary street, which had been use less for some tlmo before, although it was ranch needed in the neighborhood. Tbo contractors for the work, removed the pump from its former location to tho middle of tho sidewalk, where it now stands, a most unsightly and dangerous nuisance, fraught with danger to pedes trians at night, and a probable source ot suits against tho City. ItiB claimed that tho contractor had no right to place tho pump In tho middle of tho sidewalk and tho residents of tho neighborhood aro clamorous to havo it put back in its old location, and will probalby bring tho matter before tho Common council at us next meeting Judge Edmonds has published a formal aban donment of the Republican party, and joined ma as sociates in tho Democratio party, which he believes has been puiged by tho death of slavery. Moreover, he save: You will not Question the sincerity of my action when jou reflect that, in both instances, my change haB been from tbo party in power to tho party out. And you must not regard my willingness to return to the Democratic party as the result merely ot habit.

I have long looked upon that paity as identified with tho prosperity of the counlry. For half a century its principles guided our government, and led ns in that time to become the mighty nation wo bavo shown ourselves to bo. It was ever faithful to the compromises of the Constitution. It alwiys was carclully regardful of tho rights of the States and oi inuiviauais, it was uiwaye uuamu imminent danger of centralization of power, and it was al ways patriotic. Extensive Burglaby ik Flushing.

At an early honr on Saturday morning last, tho office of tho Flushing Railroad in Flushing, was entered by bur ho tYienno nf nnwdflr blew onen a Wllder's guuc, nuu safe, and abstracted therefrom. Mr. Eonert White, the Superintendent, owned $2,000 of the stolen atr ft 'rti twrt Hermans ware arrested at mout jr. i Hunter's Point, who had come from West Flushing, on suspicion Of being burglars as tuuy uiu erj ouo i.i irhovvmn taken to the 47th nraoinot JllVlUIUUIIIJUUt station bouse, where they were searched, but nothing wis fonnd that would tena to enow tuat me were.iiu plicitea in the burglary. They wero accordingly ais chirged, tnero being no evidence against them.

There is a great advantage in epitomising a political purpose in a single phase, providing that the stamp of popularity can be secured for it, and an equal advantage in fastening upon opponents a name which, whether just or not, iB accepted as odious. For a quarter of a century the name of "Abolitionist," among us, passed current as covering every conceivable turpitude in the citizen upon whom it could be fastened. It was unnecessary to discuss the right or wrong of slavery; once raise the cry that its opponents wore "Abolitionists," and no further argument was necessary to gather a mob about the ears of those upon whom the accepted stigma could be placed. With a full recognition of tho value of a popular name, the Eepublican party had hardly secured power when it abandoned the title under which it had attained it, and adopted the name of the "Union" party. This was shrewdly done, in view of the fact that it was shown by the test of war that love for.

the Union was a passion with three fourths of the American people, In this way the Eepublican leaders retrieved, in a measure, the mistake they made while seeking for power, in belittling the value of tho Union, and in stigmatizing as "Union shriekers" and "Union savers" their polical opponents, who rested their claims upon peculiar devotion to the Union of the States as the first of political blessings. They were equally fortunate in fastening an oppiobious title upon tho Democracy. The man who first applied the word "Copperhead" to the Democracy is not, we believe, known to fame, bat it is not too much to say that ho did more for the Eepubli cans than has been accomplished by half the journals in their interest and three fourths of the orators who speak in their defence. The cessation of hostilities has indeed enabled the Democrats to shake off tho stigma fastened on them for a time, and to go further and show the injustice of the epithet by securing at their call the most successful of our military chieftains as their leaders the very men whom tho "Copperheads" were alleged to be bent upon defeating. This sort of business may bs properly called tho clap trap of politics.

The Eepublicans have been so successful in it, that they have a natural reluctance to abandon it. As it would not be decent, and, possibly, not safe, to keep up the clamor, of Copperhead" against a political party led by men to whom the country owes its salvation, the Republican leaders in the present campaign in this State, are falling back on the assumed iniquity of the Chicago platform, and, by keeping it before the people, they hope to blind them to the fact that on the living issues of paramount importance to the American people, tho Eepublicans are not united, and are, therefore, not entitled to claim the confidence and support of the people of the Empire State. Asa question of practical importance, tho Chicago platform is of no more interest to the people than the predictions of last year's almanac. But, as an illustration of a phase of political clap trap, the use that is attempted to bo made of that platform, is worth considering. A stranger among us, who knew no mora of tho Chicago platform than he was enabled to leorn from Eepublican journals, would bo inclined to assume, at once, that the document was so iniquitous in its terms that it was at all times universally odious to the American people; and yet, in this State, tho party that adopted that platform, came within seven thousand votes of currying the election, and would have carried it by 25,000, had fraud, deliberate, determined, high handed, not been resorted to in changing and keeping back the votes of the soldiers of the Army of the Potomac.

The party that succeeded in the last election, as against that platform, secured' a less majority in the nation than there were voters the employ, or directly or indirectly under the control of the Administration. Had the untrammelled voters of the Northern States alone decied tho last election for good or evil, General Geo. B. McClellan would be President of the United States to day. It is an ugly bird that befouls its own nest, and in stigmatising the Chicago platform as traitorous, very nearly one half of the Northern people who supported it are charged with treason, at a time that seven millions of the people of the Southern States were waging war against the Government.

In view of tho result of tho war and the sacrifices made in its prosecution by the people of the North, this assertion is so absurd that it carries with it its own refutation. If there ever was a campaign in whioh the clap trap of politics ought to bo disregarded it is the present. There are questions of momentous concern before the public. It is apparent to all men that the leaders of the Eepublican party will not and cannot heartily support the President. The patriotic position taken by the Democracy in supporting the policy of a President elected in opposition to them, has compelled the Eepublicans to givo the President a partial and insincere support.

The buccbss of the Democracy of the Empire State will show that the people are with the President and that it will be vain for any party to oppose him in Congress. The Public Health. A meeting of the Board of Health will be held this evening in the Health Office, City Hall, to take into consideration the sanatory condition of the city, and what measures are necessary to be taken are interested in this vital subject are invited for protecting the publio health. Citizens who to attend the meeting, give their views, and whatever assistance may lie in their power. Attention has been called in the columns of the Eagle to the danger we are menaced with from the defective construction of the sewers.

This danger has assumed alarming proportions in connection with the prospective visitation of the Cholera. We hope our citizens will show a proper interest in a matter that so deeply concerns all, attend this meeting and lend what aid they can to ensure the necessary precautions for protecting the public health. Opening foe Capital. The Irish Eepublic and the Mexican Eepublic are both in the market for a loan. The prospectus of Juarez's financial agents has been published.

Thirty millions of dollars is wanted. The bonds are to be redeemed in twenty years, in gold. Here is a chance for anybody afflicted with a superfluity of greenbacks to sink their capital Ten millions will be sold at sixty cents on the dollar, which appears quite reasonable, and ensures the purchaser plenty of paper for his money. The immense peat bogs of New England are much talked of, as a source for the supply of fuel. ALES, PORTER AND EXTRA STOUT.
