If thkbb la any portion of the American people who derive information npon pablio Affairs exclusively from Demooratio journal! and orators the will naturally conclude that the Freedmen's Bureau is one of the most useless and expensive departments of the Government. The expenditures for the Bu reau are constantly oited as the heaviest item of Republican extravagance, at a period when hundreds of millions are appropriated anna ally. The real faots as they are given in the recent letter of David A. Wells, Special Com missioner of Revenue, are that the expenses of the Bureau since its organization in 18(itJ, have been, for disbursements prior to Jane 30 1807, 12,402,000; and for disbursements from July 1, 18G7, to June 30, 18G8, $3,215,000, or a total of $5,617,000. The beneficial results of this expenditure are incalculable. It must be remembered that a large portion of this sum was devoted to feeding the people of districts in the South Which were devastated by the war, aud that a large proportion of the applicants for aid were white persons. In the Rebel States little or no provision is made for sustaining al malic-uses, and if the Freedmen's Bureau had not at. the oritioal moment proffered assistance, thousands of persons would have been starved. There were also many sick, old, and infirm freed men, who would have perished if the Bu reau had not extended timely relief. But one of its most important functions was to establish mutual confidence between the employers and the employed in districts where the free labor system was entirely novel, and where the old slaveholders and their former slaves regarded each other with mutual distrust and suspicion. How many deadly quarrels have been averted, how much wrong and injustice has been prevented, how much lias been done to reorganize industry, by the Freedmen's Bureau, can never be accurately known, but in thousands of well-attested oases its influence has been in the highest degree beneficial. It has promoted every legitimate Southern interest, aud is obnoxious only to the desperate and wicked classes, who desire to establish by foroe and fraud, a new form of slavery. Which is the Greatest? There are many who deny that General Grant is a great man. The Demooraoy, over vapid puns, seek to prove that his reputation was luck, his fame the result of chanoe, while he himself had little if anything to do with it. Napoleon deolared as his policy, to aooept no one as his marshal who was not blessed with luck, and tersely added, that the only test of greatness which he required was suocess. In that sentiment is found the favorite stau dard, if not the truest, by whioh we oau de tect gTeatness. That man is so who is tho roughly successful. There may be others of whom we can say, such a man is far abler than his unfortunate rival. But if in vestigated, there is generally some other quality in whioh the fortunate one excels his abler competitor. But to leave metaphysics, there can be no question but that the world aooepts suocess as its standard, and does honor to him who wins renown, be his merits what they may. .Viewed in this light, it is idle to deny that General Grant is the greatest man of his day. lie has been favored singu larly with honors, lie has proved himself a Victorious soldier, and that is a far better claim to military skill than if he had been the ablest general of his day, who wasted in tao. tics what should have been expended in vlo tory. Let the jealous detract as they may, General Grant has the nation's acknowledg ment of his genius; and the carping of oppo sition papers cannot detraot from it. Wuat possible claim, be it luok or merit, has Mr. Seymour ever shown whioh shoald entitle him to the gift whioh he seeks in opposition to the General ? We will not answer that question ourselves, but leave it to some jooose Democrat, when wearied of silly witticisms on our candidate's name, to give ns a brief his tory of what actiun of Seymour he can denomi nate great. Organize I Most of the Exeoutive Committees of the Re publican party from the various Wards met last night, and are now ready to proceed to business. We hope that there will be no Idling away of time most precious to vlotory. The real work of the campaign, its oonduot and its ultimate result depends not on the orators, nor the publio meetings, nor the pro cessions; but on these ward and preoinct com mittees. It is to them is alloted the task of doing the individual labor of the campaign, and it is only through personal exertions that, after all, the real result is attained. Let them then fall not to work; quietly and without ostentation. Let eaoh preoinot be divided into tlocks, and have every Republican voter at tended to. Let the importance of the result Le impressed on him. Let him be registered, and all the proper preparations made, and with exertion will come victory. Gamblers and Gambling. It is becoming evident from the tons of a number of our exchanges that Philadelphia is rapidly securing a reputation for the exUtenoe of ita caniblinp-hrm. Within trm nut faw wevkjoux ftttwUoa hu lea Mil, .ewal times to articles published in entirely different portions of the oountry, all of whioh refleoted on the laxity with which the, laws against gambling were enforoed in the olty of Bro therly Love. This laxity is gradually be oming an open soandal. Every one knows of the existence of these houses. Every one knows that nightly a score of them are in full force fleecing their viotlms and being a perfeot nicer on the body politic Tet they are not interfered with. It is clearly time that the laws be vindicated. If we have them, let them be obeyed. Better to do away with al1 restriction on this nefarious trade than to have impotent statutes which are only a sonroe of contempt. We hope that, despite the approaoh of a political campaign, the Proseouting At torney will devote time to the punishment of the law-breakers. Thfrb is apparently little doubt that a seri. ous effort will be made to lay down, as soon as possible, a new oceanic cable telegraph be tween New York and Brest, in France; the necessary charters or "concessions" to accom plish this work having been granted by the State of New York and the French Govern ment, and prominent capitalists having oontrol of the enterprise. As it was announced this morning that the original cable of 1866 has recently ceased to work, in consequence, it is supposed, of damages caused by an iceberg, the importance of a new line is iuoressed, on account of the constant danger that the com munication established by the existing line may be entirely destroyed. It is also desira ble that a cable should be established whioh would be free from British influence, for the British Government could at any moment, in cape of hostilities, assume entire oontrol of the existing line. The publio interests would also be subserved by a healthy competition, as it could scarcely fail to reduce the rates now charged for transmitting messages to and from Europe. Gknebal Meads issued an important order on the 30th ult., officially announcing that civil governments have been inaugurated in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, and directing that hereafter civil authority shall prevail, except where the intervention of the military is authorized, by the Legislatures and courts of the newly reconstructed States. The sol diers, however, are not to be withdrawn, ex cept the 15th Regiment, which is to be sent to Texas. The other troops are to be concen trated at Dahlonega, Savannah, and Atlauta, in Georgia; Mobile and iluutsville, in Alabama; and St. Augustine, Tampa Bay, and Jackson ville, in Florida. General Meade announced in a recent speech in Georgia, that he sur rendered his authority over civil affairs with great pleasure, and that he hoped the day would soon come when civil authority would again prevail in all portions of the republic. The only obstacle to the accomplishment of this de ire arises from the continued efforts or Southern Rebel leaders to galvanize the Re bellion. A cable telegram from Paris announces that "the Imperial deoree has been issued autho rizing the issue of a new loan." The constant increase of the debt of France whioh Louis Napoleon has authorized, may prove the most fatal obstaole to the perpetuation of his dy nasty. With all their enthusiasm, the French people are in some respects an eminently praotioal people, and they have a great horror of onerous debt and taxation. The constant loans are evidently made beoause the Emperor feels that his popularity would be endangered if he endeavored to raise annually, by taxa tion, a sum sufficient to defray his enormous current expenditures; but he is evidently only postponing the evil day by his present policy. On the other hand, he has undoubt edly done much to increase the material pros perity of his subjeots by his liberal support of new railway lines and other internal improve ments, and his uninterrupted maintenance of publio order. Bat his enemies contend that he has made some serious blunders in his in dustrial policy, as for instanoe in his commer cial treaty with England. Colonel A. G. Bjonb, who was recently ap pointed Indian Agent for the tribes in South eastern Colorado and Northwestern New Mex ico, is a grand-son of the famous pioneer, Daniel Boone, and like his illustrious ancestor, has always had a fondness for frontier life. Forty years ago he led the adventurous life of a trapper and hunter in the Rocky Mountain regions, and he has for a long period resided in Southeastern Colorado, where he formerly discharged, in an aeoeptable and satisfactory manner, the duties with which he has reoently been entrusted. Colonel Boone is well ad vanced in years, but he retains in a remark able degree the fall possession of his faoalties, and he promises to become a worthy suooessor of Kit Carson in paoifying the Aborigines. TnHUmvEKSiTY or Michigan, after being the scene of an earnest and hard-fought battle between the Allopaths and the homoeopaths, has finally settled down on the bide of ortho doxy in medical matters. In the circular announcement for the term to open In Septem ber, the University authoilties say: "In conse quence of an Act of the Legislature of Michigan at Its last session, granting aid to the University on the condition that a Professor of homoeo pathy should be introduced into the Medical Department, much agitation and annoyanoe have been experienced by its friends; but the Faoulty are now happy to announoe to the medical profession and all the friends of legltl mate medicine, that the Board of Regents, who control the University, at a reoent meeting re solved, with but a single dissenting vote, that under no circumstances shoald such Professor be introduced into the Medical College at Ann Arbor; and the Supreme Court of the State having since decided that all previous aollon of the Board making provision for the establish ment of a school of homoeopathy at another place, is not a compliance with the law, and such aellon thus becoming null and void, the Faculty are enabled to assure the profession that the Hectical Department of the UnivertUy of Michigan it entirely free from the remotest conneo' Hon with homoeopathy UisX its curriculum will I not Le cLiiugcd, uud that it will i cmuln as hire ' fflnSwXucfi ftDT Iorm 01 lmalM Thb Howard Uhivemttt, an Institution located on the out-skirls of the olty ot Wash ington, Is now In a fair way of beoomlng suc cessful. It was ohartered at the laid session of the Tbirtynlnth G.mgress. The aot of Incor poration provides for the establishment of the following departments: Normal, collegiate, theological, medloal, law, and agricultural. Soon after the passage of theaet, the corporators organised by tbe appointment of a Board of Trustees, prominent among whom was General O. O. Howard, of the Freedmen's Bureau, la consideration of whose disinterested services in behalf ol the instllntlon, It was given his name, Tbe normal and preparatory depart ments of the Institution were opened on the first tf May, 1867, In a building la the city. The collegiate, theological, and law departments, Will be organized as soon as circumstances will permit, and tbe condition of tbe university re quire. The medical department Is already organized, with a faonlty of competent Instruc tors In their respective branches, and will be opened for the reception of students In Ootober next. This Department of tbe University presents unequalled aovantages, as the students will have free access to the Freedmen's Ueneral Hospital of Washington for clinical purposes. Boon after tbe organization of the Board, a fine tract of land on a bill commanding a prospeot of tbe clly of Washington was pur chased; but already a sufficient quantity to defray almost tbe entire cost of the property, and not needed lor the purposes of the Univer sity, baa beeu disposed of. On this site, in tbe centre of a beautiful park, tbe University buildings are now being erected. The principal building U f ur stories lu height, aid contkiDS a large number of commodious rooms for lectures, recitations, offices, libraries, and a Chapel. The doi milory, aojolulug It, Is three stories In height and Is calculated to accommodate two hundred students with both rooms and board. Both buildings are almost completed, and will be ready for occupancy in the fall. The University Is Intended for tbe education of young men without distinction of race or olor, and under tbe management of such men as General Howard It Is destined to a career of well-deserved prosperity. Thb "Legion or Howok," founded b7 the first Napoleon, supplied nothing more than a decorative distinction, but was reorganized by the present Emperor In 1852, and endowed with annual allowances, ranging from 250 to 3t)00 francs, besides pensions. " The cost of the order would be easily calculable If any limitation were set upon new decorations. This was at tempted under ihe Restoration, except for tho class of chevaliers; but such bas been the Impe rial liberality that the plan then determined on has nearly d ublid, so that It now contains 34,000 Legionaries, or, adding the civilians, 63,000, with 37 0U officers and 000 commanders. The medalists also, who belong to the army solely, are estimated at 40,(X)0; and these, If pri vate soldiers or non-commissioned officers, are entitled to a pension. Tbe army, aw mignt havo been expected, and not Ihe civil list, basuwolleu the expenditures of the past ten years, and raised the total from 4,197,UtJ0 francs In 183d to 18,425,000 francs In 1808. M. de la Tour, who bas taken pains to collect these statistics, protests against tbe vulgarizing of bis order, and pro" potes tbat an obsolete regulation of 1852 saould be revived, prohibiting future aeooratlons lu any Instance exoept where there are two vao in- ol toy a.t.k. or UuradaMo!l. To tLU M. mala. Blzoln bas offered as an amendment, that the Cross of the Legion of Honor be given to who ever Is willlDg to pay for it, Democratic okatoky has received a bril liant acquisition In the person of one John H. Thomas, oandldate for Congress In tbe Seventh Ohio District. In response to nis nomination, Mr. Thomas let himself loose after the follow ing fashion: "I have never aspired to that dig nity and gtandeur which enables the orator to express in words or beanty, aud with gorgeous Imagery the gratitude whioh obligations con ferred bestirs within him, and cannot, there fore, on this occasion thrill your bosoms with delight whilst returning thanks for th6 honor you have done me." This was oertalnly re freshing, with the thermometer at ninety-four degrees In the shade. Some or Blair's Doings. Major Evans, an Indiana officer, at a recent meeting In Indiana polls, in the oourse of a speech, said that the only Independent work he had ever known Blair to do as an army officer was his maroh down through lower Tennessee and Mississippi when Grant was besieging Richmond. When afcked by Grant If he had taken any prisoners, he replied, "No, but I have burnt a sight of houses, and captured all tbe niggers." Blair's revolutionary tendencies at tbat time were directed against his present friends and ad mirers. But the Demooraoy are acoustomed to forgive their enemies, Chief Jubticb Chase Is in a bad way. Dis appointed in not receiving the Tammany nomi nation, his disposition has beoome completely fcoured. Tbe Cincinnati Gazelle which has lately denounced him more bitterly than any other Republican paper, now reports a conver sation In which the Chief Justice spoke strongly against the Seymour and Blair tloket, saying that if these men should be eleoted, all tbe fruits of the four years' war against the Rebels wouid be lost. At the same time Mr. Chase spoke severely against the policy of the Repub lican party during tbe last few years, AN Alibi. "J. B. S." writes lo the World his opinion that Chief Justice Chase had nothing to do with forming tbe Demooratio platform Probably about these days Chief Justice Chase would be very glad to have that alibi esta blished. A "Gap." The Cnloago Pott makes this point: "There Is a hiatus In General Grant's blstory say the Democrats. That may be; but It Is nothing compared with tbe hiatus he made In the Demoeratio party at Vicksburg In 1803, or at Appomattox In 1805." AMUSEMENT NO TES. Tub Walnut Street Tubaim was formally opened lor the season last evening, by tbe re production ol Mr. J. K. McDonough's specta cular combiuHtion of drama and ballot, The Black Crook. The ballet, under the direction of Mr. Georuo W. Smith, lccluded Madlles Mor lacchi, sometimes called "the Great," Leah, and Diani, all of whom were received with hearty rounds of applause, as on their previous appearances In this city. In tbe dramatic cast, Mibs kannte Siocqueler appeared, lor the tint time in Philadelphia, as "dtalacia," sinking the dtflicult aria ot li Baccxo wita acceptable execu tion. Mr. J. W. Jennings sustained the role of 'llertzoif," Mr. W. A. Chapman that of "Greppo," and Mr. 8. K. Chester that of "Ru dolpbe." As last evening was the tir.t represen tation of the spectacle at this theatre, Ihe perioral ance was somewhat hindered by the difficulties of a first nigbt, but all these draw backs will doubtless be overcome ia a fewdavs. The audience was a large one, and uppareutly well pleased with tbe perforruaece as a whole. Tbe theatre has opened the season in earnest, and under the bu.luess management of Mr. T. J. HcDij hill aLd tbe stage ivanaqement of Mr. YV. A.
