BEVOJWJTION nt CENTBAL AMEBICA. From Omoa, Honduras, by way of Havana, we are informed of tiie sudden occurrence of a revolution iu thfi Central American. Republic.

Tlie movement was attended by the capture, imprisonment and ransom with foreign gold, of political enemies of leading men in public life. General Chamoro was executed, and General Medina carried off a prisoner from the protection of the English. The foreign residents, Americans, English and Spanish, in the towns suffered heavy losses, and a general alarm prevailed under this fearful exercise of democracy, demoralized by ignorance and passion.

We cannot believe that Cardinal Antonelli has quarrelled with the Pope. It is not possible. If it be so, as our news seems to imply, the end of the world must be dose at hand. We have some faith in the Pope, but we like AntoneUTs pluck. THE Dirassrtso ox BTXT.

GATE. We are glad to announce to this community that the work of deepening and widening the ship channel of Hell Gate is, under the supervision and direction of General Newton, progressing Admirably, and that his excavations under those hard, primitive rocks are regarded by many as really more wonderful than the catacombs. of Paris, the Suez Canal or the Hoosac Tunnel. A RSASWG ACT-- The visit of the venerable" Thurlow Weed to his old friend, Mr. Seward, distinguished es-Secretary of State and Oriental traveller, at his home at Auburn.

We imagine the happy time which these twofold jjentlemen, retired from the political have had together in righting their battles over again and in discussing the Presidential prospects of one of the original mem- bets of the firm of "Seward, Weed Gree- las ARBBST or JAMES H. IHGEBSOI. -Great excitement was created yesterday in the Court of General Sessions in consequence of the arraignment of James H. Ingersoll, the Tammany cbaiimaker, on two indictments for forgery. Crowds thronged the court room anxious to see the elegantly dressed prisoner, who is charged with having pocketed incredible sums for chairs and other cabinet ware furnished to the city, and no little indignation was indicated in the remarks of citizens as he appeared at the bar and by his counsel offered bail to appear for trial after having pleaded not guilty to both charges.

In consideration of the fact that Ingersoll is already bailed for half a million dollars in a civil action on behalf of the people, Judge Bedford fixed $10.000 as the boil in these coses. 1 Tho I.Me-ml Kcpab- llcam Importwwce of Howl The democrats and liberal republicans lii'-ve agreed to hold thulr Stato Conventions at Syracuse on tho 4th day of September. They will meet iu sBpurato bodies, and while the uomiuutious will no doubt be loft to tho democrats', to be endorsed by the liberals, the Convention of the latter party will afford some. test of tho extent of tho secession from the republican organization in this Stole. The ticket will, of course, be headed by a democrat for Governor, probably a liberal will be taken for tho Bocond place, that of Lieuteuaut Governor, although it is understood that no claim to such a concession is raado on the liberal side.

An the chances favor tho success of the Greoley pixrty iu New York, it is important that good nominations should be made at Syracuse, and that tho promise of reform, which is thostrenf-th of tho now political movement, shall bo practically fulfilled in tho charoctej of the men selected for office. Governor Hoffman, who is now filling his second term, is out of tho field in view of the "one-term" priuciplo on which tho opponents of General Grant aro fighting ihoir Presidential battle, hence- there is im opportunity to make an entirely new ticket, froe from the most remote connection with tho old Tammany politicians, who met their overthrow last November. This is generally conceded to bo fortunate chauco, nnd tho only question is as to the nominee who will givo most strength to the catiso in tho Stato. With a thoroughly capable and honest candidate for Goveruor, aud with carefully selected nominations for Congress and tho LegislaUure, as well as for Judges and charter officers in this city, there is no good reason why Farmer Greeley should not receive the compliment of very largo majority in his own State, whatever may be the grand result of the Presidential contest. Party conventions aro invariably ruled by the politicians, and as these managers have their own interests to serve and their own plans to carry out it is seldom profitable to offer them advice.

But if the lesson of last year has not been thrown away they will have learned that, while they mny manipulate conventions and control nominations, they cannot always insure the success of their candidates at the polls, however seemingly large may be tlicir political majority. The revolution which overthrew the onco powerful Tammany King and defeated its most influential nominees was the work of the quiet, independent voters, who went to tiie polls resolved to sweep away the men who had proved unfaithful to their trusts. The press did its part in exposing the frauds that had been prac- tised on the people by dishonest officials and their associates in rascality, and the rival politicians, who sought to benefit themselves by a change of programme, helped on the movement, but their share in the result was comparatively small, and oil their efforts would have been fruitless but for the solid strength of the intelligent, thoughtful citizens, who for once took the management of their political affairs into their own hands. This same undemonstrative element is at work to-day, and it is the more resolved upon making its power felt because it sees that its brilliant victory of last Fall was in a great degree nullified by the subsequent action of the political adventurers who availed themselves of tho reform movement to advance their own schemes and interests. It will noi do for the managers of the dual Syracuse Conventions of September 4 to ignore these plain facts and to winnoeB trreeiey ticket and the large vote called out by the Presidential contest will carry them safely through, regardless of the character of their State nominations.

The political feature of the Cincinnati movement is the one that is constantly before the eyes of the people, and the estimates of its strength or weakness axe generally based on political calculations. These are altogether deceptive and cannot be relied upon. There may be a large accession of strength on one side to the liberal cause, while there is a quiet leakage to an almost equal extent on the other side. If the movement is to succeed at all its success will be due to its acceptance by the independent people as a movement of reform--of reform in the treatment of the Southern States; of reiorm in the public departments and in the personal surroundings of the administration; of reform in the conduct of our foreign relations; of reform in the character of our representatives abroad. To inspire confidence in the sincerity of the pledges upon which the campaign is conducted it is necessary that men of acknowledged worth and capacity shall be alone put forward by the liberal reformers for all offices of responsibility and trust.

Public sentiment seems to have pointed to Judge Church as a desirable nominee for Governor, and there is no doubt that his name would add strength to the Greeley ticket, especially in the rural districts. In. the election for Judges of the Court of Appeals in 1870, Judge Church received two hundred and forty thousand votes out of three hundred and ninety thousand polled, and was highest on a ticket embracing such names as William F. Allen, Martin Grover, Rufns W. Peckham, Charles A.

Kapallo, Charles J. Folger jaud Charles Andrews. Of his capacity" aud t-f I honesty there can be no question, and his opposition to the old Tammany corruptionists was never concealed. There is, however, a movement going on among the politicians in favor of the nomination of Horatio Seymour, and it is being pressed with vigor by those who favor it. It is urged that Seymour has always sustained his popularity before the people on the numerous occasions when he has been a candidate for office, and that his only enemies in the democratic party have been the men who were so signally rebuked by the vote of last November.

Oil the other hand, it is argued that the nomination of Seymour would revive all the old stories of the draft riots and the Cooper Union speech; but this is met by the plea that the present election ie intended to obliterate oil the memories of the war and its incidents, and to blot out the records of individuals in that trying period of our history. There are many, however, who will remember that last year Governor Seymour had been so busily engaged in putting a new roof on his house as to have heard nothing of tho Turn- many troubles in New York until the Democratic Convention met, and it wns found that the doom of the old rtgime was sealed. It is also suggested that in the event of Sey- monx'8 nomination a bosh batch of awkward paragraphs from the IHKW would niako their ippearaiK'o iu tlio Grant organs aud wrve to urther embarrass tho new relations between tlio domocracy aud thoir old opponent. Tlw spirit of tlxe present campaign domain's tlio selection of candidates tolerably tree froui entaugloujout in the party ISSUCH ami internal quarrels of old. Although tho chances favor Greoloy's success in tho State, it is not sufficiently certain to warrant inconsiderate nctiou in tho oonatruction of the lioket that is to run with him in November.

The strength of such men as Fonton, Alvoid, Littlojohn, CwJirane, Waldo Hulchiiis, Geucrals Merrill and Palmer, and others in tho liberal movement ia uudouiable, to say aothing of Grecloy himself, with his "What IKuow About Fanning" and his famous white nat and long-tailed coat. We place little reliauo oil tho rumored democratic defections in tht interior of tlio State, because tho "struightbul" Louisville movement is sneh a clear frjud or folly thul 110 man of common sense will io cajoled into the belief that ho is upholdng democratic principles by throwing hg lime or vote away upon such a silly afl'ar. Nevertheless there aro no doubt many inlividual democrats, especially among lira mmeyetl who will support Gr.int in profeince to Greeley, and there aro uniuistokatte indications of a serious intrigue in this city tliat is likely to talto over Io Grant tlio strength of tho old Tammany rings, together with tho Police Department, the liureau of Elections, the Public Works Department, tho Street Cleaning Bureni, a majority of Iho Police Magistrates, tie Health Department, besides the great personal strength of Senator O'Brien. Hence we oiutiou Mr. Greeley and his friends, including regenerated Tammany, that, while tho Stato promises well for their candidate, tho fight ij not likely to bo won save by hard work anl under acceptable leaders.

If they would make certain of New York for their candidate they most plaTO in nomination for Governor and Mayor citizens of knovrn worth and integrity, whoss records aro clean on the subject of reforir, and whose names are guarantees of honest liberal and energetic government. Kuropr-atn to IlenxltVn African Explorer We learn witli great pleasure England that Mr. Stanley, commander of tho successful Livingstone Search Expedition, has boon tho recipient of marked honors at thr hands of the Koyal Geographical Society. At the meeting which was convened at Brightoi this year tho HKKAUI'S commissioner was received with great enthusiasm by tho menbers and visitors. Mr.

Stanley reviewed his travels iu Central Africa, and dwelt length on tho condition iu which ho found Dr. Livingstone. Tn conclusion, he gave tho Doctor's views on.the still disputed point--the source of Tho Havana then attacked the subject, and left'it, we may suppose, pretty well where they found it. Aside from the merits of this question, we are pleased to note the warmth and earnestness with which, tho people of England recognize sterling work in the cause of progress. Nor are other lands behindhand in their testimony to tho expedition and ita leader.

The Geographical Societies of St. Petersburg and Florence, repre senting respectively Russia and Italy, have each sent a gold medal to Mr. Stanley. Ami the throng of distinguished visitors at Brighton who applauded the TTMHT.TI commissioner wa the ex-Emperor Napoleon. The illustrated English papers contain many fino represents tioiis of ol the THE SQUELCHINO or THE Piuzz In the arrest of those professors of the manly art of Mace and O'Baldwin, the stoppage of their proposed "mill" by United States District Attorney Pinlmey a Baltimore, it is to be hoped the prize ring auc its brutal scenes in this country have been effectually squelched.

Had the champions me and punished each other scientifically on the sacred soil of the Old Dominion or the classi shores of My Maryland" the decent portion of the community would have had no sym pathy for the vanquished and no pride in thi prowess of tiie victor. Its verdict would have expressed regret tint the fight had not been as mortal as the clastic one of the Kilkenny cats But had the affair come off as per programme it would without djubt have led to many sub. sequent testa of vexed question of superior skill and endurance in a disgusting contest. Many doubt that fight was really intendec by the principals, tiough they bear each other no good will. In tie majority of cases speculation has much to io with fistic exhibitions, the design of the rilg being to pocket dollars rather than decide rival claims to the belt.

Mi. Piakney merits thanks for putting the brake upon tiie spirt." Mnr.po AND His The leaven of progres is producing wonderful changes among our Japanese neighbors.

In ill department? pf the realm reform and improvement are the rule, anc everywhere the wish appears to be to adopt at once all the beneficent Jesuits which centuries of experiment in Europe and America have been able to produce. Our country, as the nearest transoceanic friendly Power, is most directly interested in tht striking modifications at work in Japan, and we hail joyfully each forward step in her march of reform. THE DECISIONS or THE GENEVA TETBTOIAI. made up to the present are said, in a letter received at the State Department from Bancroft Davis, to be all in favor of the United States. This will be cheering news if true, but in view of the fact that we do not know what has been under decision, it will be safe to, withJjold oui joy for the present Wo have so often been informed in omcial quarters that the progress of the Treaty was a-perpetual triumph to America that we may be excused for a trifb of cynicism on the matter just now.

We canaot forget that at the very time America was about to be humiliated by the State Department ii the indirect claims business everything was reported from there as looking coufeur fc rote. The arbitrators still continue their meetings, preserving strict secrecy. Kxtraorrilnury turua--Kquutorlul Ilrjttu, Tlmuiftr and Polur Meteorologically speaking, the last fortnight in these parts" has been distinguished oyoud anything we have known before in August by the most extraordinary combina- ious of equatorial thunder storms aud 'olor Lightx. Usually with us a heated term if two or three days brings on ft rouud of rat- ling thunder showers, which refresh the iarth and cool and purify tho air. Usually hen wo have a visitation of the Northern lights tho night is chilly with tho current of cold air brought down from tho icebergs loyond the Arctic Circle.

But this season, ft-ith tho hitormost summer bents, we have had succession all round the country of rattling storms and no abatement of the heat whatever, and throe or four exhibitions of the Northern Lights, with tho thermometer bard upon tho nineties. On Wednesday night last, while lightnings and thunders were incessantly pliiyinR among tho heavy clouds around ho horizon from midnight till daybreak, tho Northern Lights were streaming up from tho dark mountains of clouds which liuug upon the Hudson Highlands with won- ilert'nl brilliancy. Them was thus a blending of tho electricity from the icebergs of the frozen North and of tho electricity evolved from our burning summer skies, for which the records can hardly produce a parallel. Tho accompaniments or overtures to theso phenomena, in different places, have been the heaviest summer rains and hail storm of the season. Thus, on Tuesday night last, at Poughkeepsie and up aud down the Hudson from that point, there was a most terrific thunder storm.

The lightning was of the most fearful nature and appalled tbo stoutest hearts as it flashed athwart the sky iu forked tongues and jaggod chains, frnd these fearful illuminations were each followed by rattling and stunning volleys of thunder. On the sainc evening there was a tremendous thunderstorm at Owego and along tho Susquelmnna in that quarter, and a terrible thunder shower passed over a largo part of Connecticut, aud others in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Ou Thursday night they had a similar visitation in AVashington, and on tbe night preceding a very destructive downpouring at Louisville and thereabouts, in Kentucky. Houses were blown down in Louisville, and the whole surrounding country was flooded, and crops, fences nrid outhouses were washed away. On Wednesday afternoon, while a violent thunder storm was raging in Amesbury, tho poet Whitticr wus prostrated in his house (though, we are glad to say, ho wus not injured) by a lightning bolt which struck tho building, and four other buildings in tho little town were struck during the storm, but without material injury in any case.

In short, ntnco Sunday last, there has been. Bast, West and South, a succession of these summer thunder storms, as remarkable for their number as for their violence aud yet, since Sunday lost, from day to day, iu this city and itb surroundings, tho busy portion of the, day has opened with the mercury among the eighties, to be carried in the afternoon high up among the nineties. Usually, wo say, such a succession of fiero thunder storms, over such an extensive area as that covered by the storms of the presen week, brings ou immediately a refreshing conl ness and purity in the general atmosphere But down into the afternoon of yesterday then was no relieving mitigation of our Angus "heated to the sweltering tern XJClU-Uro wr tHa or those awful Equatorial African swamps crossec by Stanley in his search for Dr. Livingstone And, without dwelling here upon what fol lowed this sweltering heat of yesterday, return to the question, why tho continuance for so many days of these fearful tropiea heats, notwithstanding all these heavy thun der storms This is an interesting question and one to which we would call the specia attention of our Signal Service Bureau, which has proved so signally serviceable to th country us to command the universal approva of the public. If Professor Plantamour's comet, with a fiery tail stretching over half the semicircl of the firmament, were within or near the orbi of our little planet we might settle this ques tion at once; but as no comet is just now with in the range of our longest telescopes the cornel explanation must be dismissed.

The trouble, as defined by the Italian astronomer Secchi, must be in the sun. He appears to be fired up with an immense outflow of incandescent magnesium to a degree of heat that is positively startling. But whatever the causes 01 the extraordinary phenomena in question we can only hope that the consequences will not involve the destruction of our helpless little planet until we shall have had a judgmem from the people of the United States as to which is the better man--Grant or Greeley. THE YELLOW FEVEB FLEET gained another unwelcome addition yesterday in the arrival of an infected brig. There nre in the Bay four "Vessels horrible disease on board.

A HORRIBLE WIFE AN IMPERIAL VISTTOB TO THE UNITED are specially informed by a telegram from St. Thomas that His Imperial Highness the Duke of Saxe has embarked at that port and is now journeying by steam to tbe United States.

There is little doubt that the occasion will be very agreeable, to its moment of termination, on both sides--an opinion which is strongly fortified by the existence of the facts which we append to our news report. THE SWOED TTJETOD INTO A EEArrao Hoot-The English government has marched a number of soldiers to Oxfordshire, to be placed at the disposal of the formers in aid of the work of harvesting the crops.

Last Monday morning the Hrst really UaugiM-ous symptoms exhibited themselves. Just as Mary was leaving for her work, Klanniuau, who was eatiuc his breaklast. arose from the table, and procurine a large shoe knife, simlUr to that with which Jack Reynolds performed his bloody deed two years ago in Ilni'son street, walked up anil down thft room, brandishing it in a decidedly inenaeiug manner and mutf-'ring to himself. Mary was so much iriglit.Mipd that she threw oir her hat shawl, and remained home all day watrtiinx her fallier. The neighbors were informed of tlie conduct or man.

but yet no steps were taken to have Him removed to an aavium or any other place 01 safety. Towards evening he bacame perfectly quiet utul docile, and the mother and children fondly indulged tlie Hope that he would recover, uut tueir Hopes were destined tu be soon rudely torn asunder. Last evening about five o'clock, when tlie oldest boy, Mack, returned from work Ho thought He detected something very umuual In tlie looks and general appearance ana actions ofhis father. He said nOllilng, however but started to go to the street for the purpose of His younger brothers aud sisters to supper when, on passing tlie door of the bedroom iu wllicll His father Wiis, he saMr Him tearing the bedclothes.
