Democratic niggers are beginning to make c

their appearance at various places down 8outh. 1

Thej have been turning out in such numbers Iin the Mississippi constitutional election as to Imark a reaction which looks very much like Ia revolution. They elected in the late Georgiaelection in the cotton districts several democraticmembers to the Legislature. Theyrecently came forth in some strength inLouisiana, where the oarpet-baggers haveassumed to dlotate the ballot for the blaokman. Even in old Virginia, where, betweenthe radical terrorisms ot Hunnioutt against theold "nigger traders" on the one side and thefolly of the opposition Are-eating white politicianson the other, the lines between thewhite man's party and the black man's partyare very sharply drawn, even there democraticniggers are rapidly increasing. Amongthem has appeared a talented fellow namedBreckinridge, who, in company' with a whiteconservative as "a man and brother," is successfullystumping the State. In fact, the influenceof the carpet-baggers over the Southernblacks is passing away, and if properly encouraged,as recommended by Wade Hampton,the democratic niggers in the Presidentialelection will wield the balance of power inevery reconstructed State.

With the overthrow of the late lighting rebelconfederacy came the confirmation of "de '

blessed Ham Lincoln'* .'mancipation prod a- jmation." This brought over the emancipatedblacks at once en mcus* to Congress and "de 1

Northern gemmen." Senator Wilson, in his 1

"prospecting'' missionary tour among thosefreedmen, from Virginia to Georgia, waa astonishedat their unanimous uprising for the

I republican party. But baring gone throughtwo or three experimental elections,these Southern blacks appear to beconsidering their actual condition ' asworker* of the soil. Many of themhad been led to "great expectations,'' of freefarms, free cabins and mules and wagons as

rewards for their fidelity to Congress, and manyhad been frightened by the terrors of slaveryagainst their late masters. But at last theseblacks are becoming satisfied that their freedomis secure, that their right to vote is safe againstall Accidents, and that those free farina, cabinsand mules promised them are all moonshine.Nay more, tbey are beginning to aee that ifthej can turn their votes to a good accountwith their white neighbors and employers itwill b« so much dear gain.a gain of good willbetween whites and blacks, mutual assistance,assured employment and something that willstick to the ribs. So fbr, indeed, bars thesepractical Southern ideas been gaining ground

r among ths blacks that some are beginning tothink that the Freedmen's Bureau is only forbeggars, and that work and harmony with theirwhite neighbors will oot only bring the Sundaycoat to Pomp, the wedding dress to Selly, and

11K HERALD, THURSDAY,"name as in do old times done gone away," butby and by the farm, the cabin and the mule toiaddy, and the garden, chiokens and cow to the>ld woman, and "none to make them afraid."In this frame of mind the Southern blacks

leed only a democratic Presidential candidateivhose name is'a guarantee that their civil and>olitioal rights oonceded by Congress will berespeoted by Him. Give them such a man andthey will give him the balance of power in every>ne of the late rebel States voting in this election,not excepting Tennessee. There is only>ne man for the democracy who can meet thisrequisition, wHile at the same time ha can furnisha satisfactory record as a genuine Unioniemoorat upon the supremacy of the constitutionagainst the radical theory and practice ofthe supremacy of military law. We haveshown, too, that on the all-important moneyquestion Mr. Chase, the founder of our financialsystem for the war, is the very man to

shape it to the just demands of the people andthe wants of the country under a peace establishment.Thus while he is the most availableman to cope with General Grant In the Eastand the West, Chase is the only man who as

the democratic nominee this year can gain thenegro balance of power in the reconstructedSouth, including North Carolina, Tennesseeand Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,Alabama and Louisiana.

It will be remembered that immediately afterthe collapse of Jeff Davis and his confederacythe Chief Justice made a political or philanthropictour of observation through the SouthernStates.an expedition rendered somewhatconspicuous from his public assurances to theblackB at various pointB touching their freedomand their civil and political rights. From thattime the Chief Justice became a special favoriteamong the freedmen for the Presidentialsuccession, and thev have not fonrotten him.To be sure, theao reminiscenced clash somewhatviolently with the copperhead JeffersonBrick's short catechism on negro suffrage,which winds up with "damn a nigger anyhow;"but we must deal with things as they are.

Negro suffrage in the reconstructed SouthernStates is a fixed fact. Negro votes in thoseStates may turn the scale in the Presidentialelection, and turn it against the radical partywith Chase in the field as the democratic candidate.Wo see, too, from various developmentsin the 3outh, that even the old fire-eaters,dyed in the wool, of white supremacy andnegro subordination, get along very well with"nigger suffrage" when represented by demoorationiggers. The only trouble is that uponthe capital stock of negro emancipation and enfranchisementthe radicals South hare securedthe mass of the negro voters against the mass

of the whites. Now, consulting the interests oftheir position in the same community with theirhites, these blacks are ready for a change oftactios. They find that a black man's partykgainst a white man's party is profitless andfull of danger. Give them a chance, and thisblunder will be repaired. Oive them Chase as

the democratic nominee, and in the division ofthe Southern blaoks between the two partieslot only will the radicals be defeated, but bythe very element created by them as a radicalunmuuu vi puvrui, ouu uniuivuj uvuwvuu

Southern whites and blaoka will be eatab-ished. I

The Pope on Befona in Amtria. '

Pope Pius the Ninth has pronounced an alio- Imtion in sweeping condemnation of the mealuresof national reform just passed by the Par- 1

lament of Austria and signed by the Emperor, 1

aore particularly as they affect the Concordatwith Rome, the extension of freedom to the>ress, religious toleration to dissenters, theight of civil marriage and the reorganization>f the system of public education. Hit Holi-less maintains that the Concordat was per->etual and not to be disturbed, and warns "alltersons to beware of the spiritual pains andmnalties attached to violations of the sacredrights of the Church."This proves that the Pope entertains the most

ixtraordinary Ideas of concordance, when heleeka to maintain it by promoting a universalllscordance, both here and hereafter. As to theUivil Marriages bill, the Pontiff has expressedlimself rather late, for the speoial correspondentof the tliBALD in Vienna tells us that a

narriage has already been contracted underts provisions, Meroury and Venns being too]uick for Cardinals Barnabo and Antoneill.What will be done in this case? In thejlden time an Englishman was placed in thepublic "stocks."' A village "shyster" lawyertook up the "grievance," telling thenan, "Government dare not do it,ur; dare not violate your rights; it wouldjause a revolution." The prisoner repliedsalmly, "They have done it; I am In theitocks." So with the Pope. A man and womanare already married according to the newlaw of Austria, and we are now to presumeJiat if their married life prove unhappy thelews will gladden the heart of the Pontiff. The"all persons" doomed to "spiritual pains andpenalties" evidently includes Baron von Buest,the Premier, and the Emperor of Austria. AsBaron von Buest is a Protestant he does not,m we see by onr cable telegram, experiencemuch alarm, and as Francis Joseph said ha"should abdicate or sign the bills," it is likelylie will continue to enjoy himself as well as hecan here on earth, "taking all the chances" inthe other life. Rome evidently requires anotherGalileo, and one may come from beforeLuther's statue in Worms.

Mahonio Celebrations.St. John's Daywas celebrated by the Masonic fraternityjrestenlay with great eclat. At Philadelphiathe corner stone of a new temple was laid,and at Springfield, Massachunsets, there wan

a procession and in the evening a ball. Theday was celebrated at other places, but notto the extent that it was in the two citiesmentioned. The processions were large, theMasons enthusiastic and everything passedoff harmoniously and pleasantly. Of lateyears the Masonic fraternity have maderapid strides in the public favor.

JUNE 25, 1868..TRIPLEDiplanatic Brwbe«,

There is only one thing wrong in the worldjust now. The bloated aristocrats of Europe,Asia, Africa and other places want us to wear

gold lace, and we refuse. We object becausethe thing is against our principles. It isagainst our principles because we are republicans; for every one knows that it is inconsistentwith republicanism for a man to wear

any garments but such as are made of blackbroadcloth, and in the plainest Presbyterianstyle. Just in proportion as a man looks likea sexton dressed for a funeral is he worthy ofhis freedom and capable of appreciating theAmerican eagle.a plain bird, that sports no

gaudy colors. Just as a man gives way to thevanities of dress, cultivates elegance and art,so he falls the victim of luxury and becomesthe tool of the tyrants of Europe, who donothing else of much consequence but look outfor tools te be used against our liberties ; audalthough our liberties have stood it very wellthus far, we cannot take too many precautionsor guard the future too carefully. It was withthis idea that Congress passed a law to stiffenthe backs of our representatives at foreigncourts and keep them in plain breeches.People in Europe, especially kings and queens,have a queer notion that when they invite a

man to a ball they have the right to say howhe shall dress. It was proper for the representativesof the American eagle to assert theirdignity by resisting this, and the law requiresthem to do so.all of whicl is wise and not a

small matter at all, but a subject emiuentlyworthy the attention of a great nation. It iserroneous to suppose that being in Rome we

ought to do as the Romans do. We ought, on

the contrary, to set the Romans a fine example.We ought to try to bring them out of theirancient mediaeval notions, especially on thenuujt'ut ui urcnB, ana uuiiivatu uimi i.t»nre wt

our Btaadard. The moat advanced type of our

standard is the dress worn by the Shakers atLebanon, which is the logical future of our

present coat and breeches and is a dress inwhich no man can find any gold lacery or thefaintest suggestion of that puerile vanity oftaste that Is related to such ornament. Whenwe have made that the court dress of Europewe shall have gotten a great deal of nonsense

out of the way.Several of our Ministers abroad have reportedprogress In this great attempt, and

Mr. Seward has just sent their important lettersto that grave body, the United StatesSenate. Mr. Yeaman declares, all the wayfrom Copenhagen, that he knows nothingabout the law, but perceives that it will have a

very bad effect. He doabtless reached thisconclusion on general principles and a knowledgeof Congress. Mr. Hovey, from Lima,wants to know if he can wear his militia suit,and the Secretary consents. We must regardthis as a weakness on the part of the Secretary.It is a compromise, and as such is unworthyof ua. The Secretary evidentlythought that in the case of a South Americanrepuouc we ougnt 10 ihkp wnai we can get;but we think this ground ought only to betaken in regard to Mexico. In that republicill must consent that the Minister should bepermitted to wear any kind of breeches he can

keep in his possession, or, otherwise, the kindthat is most ingeniously constructed for theconcealment of the pockets. Satisfactoryprogress is reported by Sandford, Hale andAdams at Brussels, Madrid and London. Dixwill write when he has considered how thislubject is touched by the classical authors, andBancroft is understood to be exhausting thematter in a volume that will be issued by a

Boston house in four hundred pages octavo.We hear nothing as yet from the man who willundoubtedly prove the great authority on

this stupendous question. Of course we mean

General James Watson Webb, whose expensivediplomatic breeches were the first thingssecured on the occasion of the famous appointmentto Vienna. Mr. Webb's experiences willmake him peculiarly interesting on breeohes,and his ability in the discussion of diplomaticniceties will give permanent value to histreatise. His letter will be a treatise, ofcourse. Perhaps the heat of the climate inRio Janeiro may seem to him just now tomake breeches of leas consequence than some

other things, and so induce neglect; but theoountry hopes otherwise, and expects greatthings from the illustrious Chevalier.The Brocklya Yacht Clab To-Day.The Brooklyn Yacht Club, in the arrangementsfor their annual regatta to-day, have

introduced a feature that inaugurates an era

in yachting matters in the United State*worthy of general adoption. That a more

general collection of model vessels, underproper auspices, should be brought togetherr. . 4-1.1 .r ihui hu himitnfnni mirlrwl

their aquatic reunions, this club, without distinctionand without the least reservation, savethat their own sailing regulations shall governthe race, invited all yacht owners

of kindred associations to join them.This desire to bring our jrachts together in a

manly, true, yachtmanlike manner, sprungfrom the wish to farther the pastime alone,and it is peculiarly gratifying that theresponses to their novel and kind Ij invitationhave been numerous. Thirty-six boatshave entered and will compete for the prizesoffered, which are of a design and value worthythe occasion.The founders of the New York Tacht Club,

the parent aquatic organization, when on

board the Gimcrack, off the Battery, twentyfiveyears ago, never imagined the rapid stridesthat have been made in the pastime ofyachting, nor pictured such a successionof brilliant novelties as have recentlyinterested the thousand votaries ofthe sport in New York harbor. The Brooklynclub, nlthough numerically less than the parentclub, possess the viru to carry to a grandsuccess all that tbey attempt, and to-day'sregatta promises to be one of the most impor-tant and exciting contents of its character tbathas ever started in our waters.

Telegrams from London announce, the receiptin that city of despatches from the Continentreporting tyiat the Italian governmenthas addressed an offlcial oircular to the representativesof the King at the different courts ofEurope declaring the intention of his Majestyto maintain a strict neutrality in the event of awar between France and Prussia. ThisintAlliorAnrtA !a intArnmUd Avidantlv inthe sense of meaning that a conflictbetween Napoleon and North Germanyis near at hand, and hence Italy definesher position. The report is scarcely entitledto such serious consideration. Franceand Prussia may engage in a deadly struggleat a moment considered opportune by eachfor an endeavor to obliterate the memoriesof the respective occupations of Parisand Berlin and of the critical, butunwelcome, appearance of Bliicher at

Watertyo; but the date of that giganticand, for the Continent, disastrous undertakingwill neither be accelerated nor

delayed by the circulation of documentsfrom Florence.

lors with a correctly prescient anticipation ofthe coming scourge. Anathematized to a sortof earthly purgatory by the Pope, with Garibaldigrumbling, French engineers working atthe fortifications of Rome, the September Conventionunsettled, Austria going "ahead"with reform, and Germany, it may be, offended,it is no wonder if Italy has declared herselfneutral for war.

No Protection for American FlbheRiBri..Wehave a statement from Washingtonthat the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairswill report adversely to the bill recently passedby the Houbo authorizing the President tosend a war vessel to the Gulf of St. Lawrencefor the purpose of affording protection toAmerican fisheries. The reasons assigned forthus ignoring the claims of an importantbranch of our commerce are that the measure

is unnecessary and that it places power in thehands of the President to involve the countryin a war with Great Britain. This last mentionedreason is undoubtedly the main one.The desire to vest as little power as possiblein Mr. Johnson.not to mention the takingaway of as much of his constitutionalauthority as could be prudently done.is thewhole animus of this coming adverse report;and so because the Executive of the republicis personally and politically obnoxious to a

majority of our Senators he must not beauthorized to adopt measures looking to theprotection and preservation of Americancommerce.

The Arkansas Delegation..Yesterdaythe radical delegation from the now reconstructedState of Arkansas were, after a resolutionadopted for the purpose, sworn in andtook their seats in the House of Representatives.Subsequently a protest against theiradmission was presented and read. It was

signed by all of the democratic members ofCongress, and denounces the Reconstructionlaws and the means by which the new Representativeswere elected. Arkansas is now

ftilly represented in the oouncils of tl)e republic,and as the Omnibus bill will be returnedby the President to-day, either with a veto orwithout his signature, it is reasonable to pre-ume that all or toe otner aoutnern states, exceptingVirginia, Mississippi and Texas, willbe represented in Congress before the end ofnext week.The News from Mexico..Our special

correspondence from the city of Mexico, publishedthis morning, confirms the estimate wehave made of the' sort of republicanism thatprevails in Mexico. The head of the JuareeCabinet held on to power until the SupremeCourt made the issue decisive. The consequencewas that a crisis took place in the Cabinet,and the excitement ran so high at the capitalthat a revolution was feared. However,the adroit ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs hasso managed that power remains in his hands.How long this is to continue depends entirelyon the activity and energy of the rebel chiefs,who are even more numerous and active nowthan in the most flourishing days of Mexicananarchy.The Eight Hour Stbtem fob Government

Mechanics..By a decisive majority the Senateyesterday passed the House bill providingthat eight hours shall constitute a day's workfor the mechanics and laborers employed bythe government. As it is understood that thePresident is in favor of the movement we supposethat he will sign the bill, and that henceforthall the men employed on mechanical laborfor the government will go to work at eighto'clock in the morning and cease their laborsat five In the afternoon. In the meantime a

severe struggle is going on in this city betweenthe master masons and the journeymen bricklayerson this very question of time, with theadditional subject of compensation.

that if within a few days to oome we have disastrousexplosions there and fires involvinggreat loss of property no one need deem itstrange. Perhaps we will in time learn byexperience to keep these articles out of the oityaltogether. Men do learn some things by experience,if they can get enough of it.

Superintendent Kennedy'sorder in relation to the Fourth is very good,and will have one humane result, in preventingthe mutilation of many boys who blow theirhands off with fifty centpiBtola when left aloue.We hope the Superintendent has not forgottoathat we will have a large influx of the unterrifieddemocracy from every part of the countryon the Fourth, and4hat the greater number ofthese will perhaps be sublimely patriotic before .

the day is over and need attention.

Emigration from Hrrmany l» IfnllodNtate*.

Emigration seems to have become epidemicin Germanv- From a letter written, by our

special correspondent in Berlin, which we pal*-'lished in the Hkrald of yesterday, it appearsthat from January 1 to May 11 the number ofemigrants who started for the United States Ufway of Bremen was twenty-three thousand fthree hundred and fifty-six. Between May 11and May 31 some four thousand more sailedfrom the same port for this country, thus makinga sum total from January to June of more

than twenty-seven thousand. This, however,is not all. At the beginning of June some

nine steamers were advertised to sail froarBremen for New York and Baltimore, and some!seven thousand were known to be making applicationfor passages. Our correspondentmakes mention of a fact which very strikinglyillustrates the improved and improving characterof the times. An arrangement, it appearshas been made between the agents in Hamburgand the agents in New York according to'which the passenger, by the payment of thre*thalers, secures the right of having his arrivalin New York announoed to his friends in Germanywithin twenty-four hours after his landing.All this is praiseworthy and encouraging^'The manner in which affairs seem to be maaagedat Castle Garden, as will be seen froaanother article In this day's Herald, is a disgraceto New York city, to the United States,to the nineteenth oentury. We are glad t*notice that German emigrants are beginningto direct their attention to the South as a fieldof enterprise. In many important respects theSouth offers superior advantages to the industriousand thrifty emigrant than are offeredby the West. We oommend the South to theIrish and the Germans both. The South need*their little oapital, needs more their labor, andthe rich and teeming soil is ready to rewardthem. Besides, a flood of Irish and Geraaaemigration to the South would soon settle thanegro question and determine the balance ofpower.Another or Skorbtary Wki.lis' VnrTURK8..Agreat deal of puffing of the new

war steamer Ammonoosuc is now going oa.We have reports from all quarters ecstaticallydescribing how many revolutions per miautawere made and how fast she travelled, aadany person not acquainted with the facts wouldsuppose this steamer to be about the best erarbuilt. The truth is that there is more romanoathan reality in the present stories. The Ammonoosuowent to sea without her ordnanoaand with barely sufficient coal on board to takaher to Boston. At the start she may haramade a passably good rate of speed, but whatshe did afterwards could not be ascertained,by reason of the loss of "log chips and muohof the line." We venture the prediction thatthis new vessel will prove as great a humbugas any of the other extraordinary looking andworking crafts constructed by authority of thaancient and venerable Secretary of tha Navy.Hats or Ron and Nkw York..We are
