Tho French authorities are interning all Carlista found iu the Southern departments suspected of complicity lu the plot for an insurrection against the government of King Amadcus. The Political Fartici and Their Tliero are thirteen recognized and almost distinct political parties In Spain, the ranK and file of of which are under the control of skilful leaders and able tacticians, both at the electoral polls and In the hall of Parliament. These thirteen parties may be rcducefl to five--Carlista, Alfonzlstas, AmadclsfH, radicals and Internationalists.

Four of them have been--very lately, nt least-opposed to the government of Amadcus. Of the latent of these organizations it may be said, briefly. The Carlista, or legitimists, -want back "the Kiug," Don Carlos. Their leader has been Cadlvo Nocedat. The Alfonzistas favor the candidature of Alfonzo, of the ex-Queen Isabella.

Their chief has been Etaban Collantes, With this party may be numbered, although not with, any great degree of certainty, the ex-Montpenslerlsta. The Duke of Mont- nensler having recognized the Prince of tho Astu- rlas, half of his party are for Don Alfonzo and tho rest are gone over, for the time besig, to that of King Amadcus. Elos Rosas has led this force. The federals under Castelar. Socialists, Internationalists, under their Chief, Oarrldo.

In addition to the above there are Progresslstas (historical), led by Sagasta, who said in tho Cortes that "wished for progress according to history," and hence their name.

Suppression of Smuggling--General Ceballos Breaking Up Gangs of Thieves--Ihe Casino Espanol. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK IIEBALD. HAVANA, Angnst 28, Via KEY WEST, August 27,1872.

The voz de Cuba continues to combat the proposed Issue of sixty millions of bonds. A solution of the financial problem of Cuba Is as remote now as ever. Severe orders have been Issued by tho new In- tcndcuto for the suppression of smuggling, but unless the merchants of Cuba co-operate with the officials their labors in that direction will result in fining the masters of a few vessels. General Ceballos, the Acling Captain General, dismissed several inspectors of the Havana polios and 13 making strong efforts to break up the numerous gangs or thieves and robbers now infesting the city. The citizens are desirous tuat Gene- Ceballos should send some two thousand of the most notorious of these characters! to the Island of Fernando Po.

On Monday evening tho San Francisco Minstrels opened the season In their new uptown hall, whilom known as the St. James Theatre. Three of the old quartette, Backus, Wambold and Birch, still remain, and tho place of Bernard has been filled by Mr. Joseph Norrla, an amusing and fairly talented artist. "The nunkey Doree is a new song, and, as rendered by Birch, is quite successful, and commands an encore.

The other melodies are given with care and effect, and the finale of the srst act--an imitation of birds, locusts, frogs and other animals and reptiles--Is quite amusing. Mr. Beaumont Koed, an English singer, with a voice of power and sweetness, has been added to the company, and his song, "The Cuckoo Notes," is decidedly worth bearing. The melange of comicalities and farce, which forms the second part of this, as of other similar entertainments, contains several novelties. The "Sports of Africa," a negro burlesque, with a characteristic dance, is rendered by Messrs.

Johnson and Powers with much spirit. In tUe oung Actors" Messrs. Backus aud Birch take the liberty of advertising the UEUALD Livingstone expedition, and Stanley's name drew forth a storm of applause. The closing sketch, "Vinegar Bitters," includes all tlie stars of the cast, and is filled with all sorts of telling jokes and really fnnny business. Their removal uptown has only added to the number of the patrons of this favorite troupe.

It is already clear that their old reputation remains as potent as ever. Minstrels, Bryant's began another season on Monday evening, aud, in spite of the heat, is already drawing very fair houses. The old company has been reinforced by several very strong the rest by the well known Leon. The" flrst'part, as usjial, is devoted to the singiug of melodies. Dan Bryant himself is, of course, one of the strongest bulwarks of this part of the entertainment, and in response to the encores of his song "Down by the Weeping Willows" gives some amusing stanzas, containing various local aud seasonable lilts.

Tcmnleton also gives a very good song, "Sweetly Thine Eyes, Love," and hia sweet and fresh voice brines down the house. Jn the second part, there is a budget of amusing novelties. Leon starts off with an act of his own. and Nelso Sey- operetta by Iowa, and includes some sprightly and pleasant music Mr. feteele performs a soJo on the violoncello, which is of genuine merit, and is a new feature in the bill.

The evening closes with a sketch, in three scones, for a Wife," which Is of a little better order of Inn than the usual run-of minstrel hall farces. Brjaut's is fully up to its oid high standard, and will, doubtless, have another successful season. Musical antl Drnmatlc ffoteS. The Yokes appear in Brooklyn on Saturday night.

Constitution then won the third aud fourth, and made a dead heat will).

Fred Tyler for the fifth. The sixth heat and the race was won by Fred Tyler by a head only. During the third heat Richfield ran into Butterfly and tore the mare's sulky to pieces, throwing W. McMiihon to tlio ground, lie held on to the mare, and fortunately neither horse nor man was Injured. Ilich- fleld's driver, under the belief that his sulky was also Injured, pulled up, as did some of tlio other horses that were behind, for fear of accident.

All horses in the race, with the exception of Constitution, Trod and Butterfly, were distanced, thu latter lieinj; arlowcd to start acraln, as the accident to her was not the fault of her driver. The second race was for horses that had never beaten 2:31, mile heats, best three in five, In liar- ness. There were four entries, comprising M. Ko- Uen'a sorrel gelding Fred w.

Coroner K. was a ftreat favorite until after the second heat. He soM in the pools after the flr.st heat at 100 to 40 over Held, lie won the first heat, but Fred beat him the throe subsequent ones. The race created considerable excitement, as McMahon was tulccn out from behind Coroner K. after the third heat to gratify some parties who had been backing his horse and 1'hlllips put In his place.

In the fifth Sorrel Dan pot the lead, and trotted very well to tne half-mile pole, when he broke badly, and did not again strike a trot during the heat.

The Great Fight Between the niiil Railroad Monopolists at San Kran- claco--Report of the Government Directors or the Union Pacific Road. SAN PBAS Cisco, August The Executive Committee of the People's Committee of One Hundred have rejected tne proposition to compromise the controversy with the Central Pacific Railroad Company by giving the latter a subsidy to build tho Ravenswood Bridge on condition of the abandonment of the Goat Istand project. The committee recommend instead the construction of a new road, between Sau Francisco and the Mississippi Valley in competition with the Central Pacific.

Over two thousand citizens have subs rlbed an aggregate of more than a million ana a half of dol lars towards the capital stock of the proposed Atlantic and Pacific Railroad from St. Louis to San Francisco, via the Thirty-fifth parallel. Tins popular subscription foreshadows tne success of an application to the city for a loan of ten millions in bonds to the same company, in return for its equivalent in preferred stock, by vote of the people at the November elecfion. The Sau Francisco and Colorado Company, a rival to both the Central Pacific aad the Atlantic and Pacific Companies, also applied to the Board of Supervisors last night for aid to the extent of $10,000,000 of absolute subsidy, without return in bonds or stock.

Tho preparations for tho coining Winter are expected to prevent any renewal of the snow blockade. Additional Isboring forces have been p'rovlded, and sheds erected wherever snow difficulties are likely to occur. The government directors also express their confidence that, witli proper management, the road Is capable of doing business enough to meet the mortgages of the company and provide for liquidation of tho advances made by the government.

They sav that tho country tributary to the road is developing rapidly and everything premises well for the future if some existing abuses can be removed and strict business management for the interest of the corporation is onforced.

THE SOLDIERS' CONVENTION YESTERDAY.

An Immense Gathering of War Veterans at Portland. Speeches by Butler, Burnside and Wilson. Torchlight Procession, Music, Bunting Pyrotechnics last Night. and A I I POIITLAND, August 27, 1872. Both or the political parties are making it enter- and lively during the few remaining days of the campaign.

From one end of the Slate to tho other they are endeavoring to stir up enthusiasm and enlighten people upon their political duties. Mass meetings, torchlight processions, tho kiutlrcd elements of a brlsK campaign, have been numerous for a month or more, and it Is safe to us- eume they will multiply In numbers and Increase In spirit daily and nightly until the eventful otu ol Sc-ptcmber, when tho verdict of tho people will be rendered at the polls. Tho republicans have had the most telling demonstration of their party here, in Portland, this afternoon nml evening. It was got up as a sort of soldiers' political expression, the call Inviting all who responded In tho dark days of the Republic to come together and taiur over the present political situation and sec what they hail better "do about It." Only those friendly to the administration wero expected to participate, and these "expectations "were fully realized. There wero perhaps two thousand or three thousand of the old veterans brought together, and besides these the general republican public for many miles around turned ont, in spite of storm and rain, to give pomp, splendor and tclat to the occasion.

aEXHRALS AND LEADERS. Of those most distinguished among the soldiers were General Ilutler, General Hurnslde, and fiene- rul Sclden Connor and fleucrat Fcssenden, of Maine. Senator Henry Wilson and Fred Douglass were also on hand, but they were not recognized as among the heroes who Imperilled their lives that the country might live. Of the rank and file present it is no exaggeration to say that it was probably the largest collection of soldiery since the war; and inasmuch as the demonstration was purely political, the administration party can take a substantial crumb or comfort. The day was Inauspicious, the rain pouring In torrents two-thirds of the time aud rendering the streets most uncomfortable for marching.

The Inclement weather also rendered it necessary for the speaking to take place In the City Hall instead of the open air, as originally Intended. The edifice was filled to its full capacity, and many wero unable to gain admittance. A baud was present to enliven the occasion, aud the generally were characterized by enthusiasm. (7ENEB.il. BURNSII5E AX1 HIS C03IHADKS.

General Selden Connor presided aud made a strong administration speech, aud then introduced General Uurnsido, or Ithode Island. The General said the great political question or the day would be discussed by those better qualified than himself, lie should address what he had to say to Comrades. Little did tlio carucTM 01 what the noiuiers left wueu they went to tho field, and he felt that everybody would bear testimony to the general well bearing or every man who weut to the war, aud that they did well to meet together aud again express their sentiments, tnelr loyalty. Some of those who carp say there is 110 harm lu old soldiers and sailors meeting together to talk over their campalaas, but there 18 Harm In their talcing political action lu these meetings. The only criticism ou his being President of the Plttsburff Convention had come from a personal friend, llis position as Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic does not prevent him from attending any political convention or joining with old comrades In any political action they might think proper.

He could not understand how anv Union soldier or any confederate soldier could" vote lor Greeiey. He referred to Grant's magnanimity to the confederate Generals so long as they kept their parole, and contrasted his conduct to that of Greeley, who went to Canada to meet tlio traitors to their country. He begged the soldiers not to falter In supporting those who had always stood by tlieir country--such men as BLYSSES S. GBAJiT AND BENSY WILSON. He spoke of Grant's care of the finances reducing the public debt, his Indian policy and diplomatic policy preserving peace with the whole world.

Those who are malcontents know little or war who would plunge their country into it. His amnesty wai the most magnanimous ever known. He prayed his t. no all tliey can to avert such a cnlamity as the elecuvu or eeiey would cause, and to try and induce even soldiers to support the magnanimous Grant, anu after they had accomplished these good results, then he felt assured all will go well with the country. Major Haggerty or General Kilpatric'i cannot carry a soldier's vote, neither the oue the Irish nor the other the American, as long as EilpatricK slanders bis worthy coief.

There are, no doubt, thousands of democratic soldiers who believed in tha Baltimore Convention, bat the speaker thought they would change their minds and voce for Grant when the time came. BUTLER FOLLOWED the Rhode Island General at some length. In presenting him to the audience the Chairman said that he should not introduce him aa the "hero of New Orleans," but as the "hero of New York," for was the only man who ever gave that city a fair election. The General was received with warm applause and rousing cheers, and in presenting hia well known political views he found a hearty aud enthusiastic approval Trow all who listened. The great hullabaloo of the occasion was reserved until evening, wiienatorchlight-iprocossionaeouple of miles long, fireworks, salutes, brass bands and illuminations, with all the usual appendages of a grand political rally, were brought into requisition, and everything passed off with a lively and satisfactory enthusiasm.

Thousands of people were ont until midnight, and it was long after that hour before the pyrotechnical displays and the inspiring strains of campaign music had During these outside demonstrations Senator Wilson and Fred Douglass held forth in the City Hall to a large and enthusiastic audience. The following resolutions were read to tne meeting and unanimously adopted jij. That Convention does, soldiers or the continued success ot the republican party is me sole SL'Curity of rctonn and progress. Resolved, That the moJest pretension, earnest purpose, sacacious judgment, practical wisdom, incomparable integrity and illustrious services of Ulysses S.

Resolved. That when Horace Greeley declared at vicks- hurg, In 1871, that "he hoped the time would come -when tho soldierwfto foughtwfthl.ee and Johnston will occupy Its proud a position In the hearts of tho people aa the soldier who foucht under Grant and Sherman, ho forfeited all claim to tiio support anil estacm ol teal great body of men who maintained the nation's Honor oil a hundred bloody fields.

Tho omission of the endorsement, of Governor Perlmm in tha foregoing resolves is said to have been intentional and not accidental It is understood that Wilson and Douglass will continue as political instructors here in Malno until after tne election. General Butler will also.maka a few more addresses here, following up Ids effort or to-day with another at Bath to-morrow evening, abandoning entirely all efforts for tho Gubernatorial nomination at the Massachusetts Republican Convention to-morrow.

Davida, after whom one of tho yachts was named, are well known residents or NKW ttoCIIKLLE, this match was a subject of general conversation, and the respective merits of the two boats were carefully discussed. Everybody bets in this neighborhood, and consequently innumerable $5, $10, $20 and $50 beta were planked on the renult. The Maude being a tried sloop yacht, while the W. F. Davida had always been sailed before under a cat rlst, made the former a slight favorite.

Everybody la the vicinity came down to see the regatta, and the little bay In front or tho Neptune was dotted all over with sailing crart, each carrying a goodly freight. The guests of the Neptune House, which, by the way, has been crowded since the Messrs. Kelly came Into power, were nearly all ont to see the race. Some were accommodated ou the steamer Norwalk, which came up with an EXCLUSION PARTY from Now York, while others more fortunate were the invited guests of Mr. Morris on board the tug Hoses Taylor or Mr.

Davids on board the William Fletcher. Mr. Dickerson, of tho schooner yacht Fleur dc LIB. also took out a large party of ladles and geutluuien to see the race. Shortly after eleven the two competing yachts, each manned with eleven or twelve men and freighted with a countless number of sandbags, started on" to position alongside or the yacht neur do Lls.

The Judges, Messrs. K. M. Sawyer and Stephen Van Kos- trund, and the referee, Mr. Thomas Thorne, were on board the William Fletcher.

The first question which caused trouble was, "What Is the course As the wind waa northwest It was not easy to sail ton miles to windward and return without striking ISLANW, but finally they agreed to sail a southeast conrso about live miles distant and round tho wiuiain Fletcher laying on" Cove dock, return and repeat.

Morris 27.10 I SO 00 The tldo was just In the last of the ebb, and with a fresh northwesterly breeze both yachts started oft witli their booms to starboard and their jibs set with a spreader to the port side. They had countless white- winged pilots tliat spread across the bay ahead, but the racing yachts soon began to show their speed, and gradually walked through the fleet of spectators. Tlio baud on board Mr.

Davida' steamboat, the wir.i.iAM Ki.jfrcnER, livened up things considerably and lent that peculiar charm that music always has on the water. The first five miles before the wind allowed that on that point of sailing tho boats wero evenly matched. The Davids came up first and Jibed round the stake- boat, making a stretelioir on the starboard tack; aud the Maude, coming the other side, tried to go round inside of the Davids, but, suddenly catching a flaw, luffed up too soon and fouled the bow of the William Fletcher. One of the crow jumped ou board the Fletcher, aided in pushing lier oir and hud to run to the stern of the Fletcher to jump on board again. The Maude did not auifer much damage, only staviug in a portion of the guards of her port bow.

She then held on towards MATINNICOGK on the port tack. The Davids shortly afterwards slayed-iioout a mile to windward of the Maude ai'd ii'iter the yachts had been on the same tack for about teu minutes It became apparent that the Maude was clawing up to windward of the Davida. They both tacKed together, the Maude about three-quarters of a mile astern, and ou the next tack the Maude appeared to be doing very good work. The Davids tacked and passed to the eastward of Huckleberry Island, while tho Maude stood on, and, staying to the westward of the latter spot, tacked aeam In front of the Davids and rounded the stakeboat lu the first ten miles one minute and forty-uve seconds ahead. TUe run down to HLEN COVE proved highly Interesting, as the breeze freshened so much that the Davids could not carry ner can- vus, aau after lowering mainsail took in jib also and aeudded under bare poles.

The Maude also took in, her mainsail ana came down free under jib alone. Just before rouadinB the Fletcher to beat home she set a reefed mainsail, and when on the wind she had to let down her jib, as that sail proved to be more than she could carry- The Davids rounded about fifteen minutes later under reefed mainsail. The beat tiorae without a jib proved racher tadlous. work, especially to the Davids, who had to lower her peak every time before she would stay. The boats were both Knocked down several times, but managed to recover cleverly.

They arrived home as jS, Maude 27 W.T.Davids 8 00 Now began the tug of war, and the judges were certainly not in an enviable position, as opinions were very diUerent as to what yacht was entitled 50 the stakes. Every man who had a couple or dol- it-wa viet on tut; acquit "nmethinsr to say; but the decided to wait until tunj ik tho sailing reeulationa before giving their decision. It appeared by these articles that the boats were sailing under no recognised rules, and consequently the fudges gave the race to the Maude, who, therefore, wins the stakes and beta. There was considerable excitement in the neighborhood of the Neptune House, pending the decision of the judges, and the Messrs. Kelly prudently closed their bar to prevent their guests being annoyed by the aoisy element of the New YorS excursionists.

Another terrible warning of the unchecked use of firearms occurred yesterday in the office of the Eveniny Express, situated in Park row.

It appears that shortly before ten o'clock two messenger boys, named James Hart, aged nineteen, a resident of No. 8 Albany street, and James Corrlgan, who Is i despatch bearer from Police Headquarters, had, it is surmised, a quarrel in the editorial room, for on entering the place at the time James Hart was found with a hole in his cheek, made by a pistol bullet. The ambulance was speedily summoned, and the poor boy was taken in it to the Park Hospital, where hia wound was examined vaudewater, who pronounced It to be 01 a fatal character.
