THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1868. FROM EUROPE. Hy Atlantic Cable. London. Sept. B Yesterday Uevcrdy Johnson, the American Minister, delivered nnother speech in Sheffield. Thin addrcsfl whi In reply to nn nil dress presented by the corporation authorities of the city. Mr. Johnson Bald In tho dlschargo of the duties of his position lio anticipated no trouble so far as tho prexervatlon of peaceful relations bo tween the United States and Kngland were con cerned, but the high and deserved reputation' achieved by his Illustrious predecessor, Mr. Adams, bad made difllcult the task of succeeding with equal acceptability. The highest aim of his mission would bo to do as well. He repented what he bad said to the cutlers yesterday, that tho rupture of tho friendly relations now existing between the United States and Great ll.ltaln would be Impos sible, on account of the identity of race, language, institutions and aspirations. Tho character of Queen Victoria forbado the possibility of such a rupture. Kc repeated the as sertion of Mr. Roebuck, one of the representatives in the House of Commons from Shefliold, that the people of the United States were heterogeneous, and maintained tb:it foreign emigrants who landed on the American shores all merged in one great nation, and that nation was Kiiglisli, and they didn't vitiate the community by importing vices with them. Tho Iondon Times of to-day has a longthy edito rial on the subject of Mr. Johnson's recent speeches at Shitlleld. Tho Times comments favorably on bis declarations regarding the heterogeneousness of the American people, and thinks .hat the people of the United States arc as much an English unit as the people of Kngland, whero Irish, Scotch, French and Germans mako so large a tdiaro of tho popula tion. Referring Incidentally to tho general elections soon to occur in Kngland, the Times says: What ever may be tho result of these elections, the same reciprocity of feelings between the United States and Great Britain are certain to ensue. London, Sept. 6 The Standard of last evening contained an editorial article on the non-settlomont of tho Alabama claims. The writer considers it no fault of Kngland, as she is always ready to settle disputes, and Is always ready to return the friend ship. The United States could not complain If tho international relations were not as friendly and agreeable as could be desired, for England has al ways been more disposed to real alliance than the United States have. London, Sept. 6 The report that Bayard Clarke, an American, was among tho victims of the recent railway accident at Abergele was erroneous. Mr. Clarke, though on the train, is alive and well. London, Sept. 8, evening Telegrams from Hong Kong, dated July 21th, have been received hereto-day.

Paris, Sept. 5 Lord Lyons, tho British Minis ter, gave a banquet to Lord Stanley, the ex-English Secretary of State for Foreign Allaire, who is at present in this city. M. Moustier was present, and speeches of a complimentary and pacific cha racter were made and much good feeling prevailed. The 1'mse, the Austro-Catholic opposition jour nal of this city, has another editorial to-day on the matter of the American squadron in Turkish waters. Tho writer says the demand that the United States war vessels should pass the Darda nelles was prompted by Kussia, and that the Sub lime Porte, encouraged by tho English and French Ministers, will refuBe to comply. Pauis, Sept. 5. The Constitulionnel, the semi official Imperialist organ, in its issue of last even ing, repeats In the strongest manner possiblo its assurances of permanent peaco.

The negro's brother went to the town after the ex ecution, and behaved in a very insulting and riot ous manner, using threats against those who had bung liis brother. After bearing his inBults for some time, they hung him also. The negroes of the town and neighborhood collected together to the number of some forty or fifty, and made a gene ral attack on the town, which was mot by the citi zens, with the above result. The crop reports are very encouraging, particu larly in the southeastern portion of the State. Memphis, Sept. (i At three o'clock this morn ing a band of negroes went to the house of T.JA.

Tho public debt statement for August will bo published on Monday. Jt will show an Increase (luring last month of over $10,000,000. Tho reason in part for this Is accounted for by a Treasury De partment (if)icial as follows: The payment of the Alaska purchase, $7 ,2i)0,oo); the largo army ex penses, which are nearly as much as those of all the other departments of the government together, and the decided falling oft' in Internal revenue col lections.

Notice has also been received at this Department that papers purporting to be passports issued by tho Mayor of New Orleans, and vised by the Span ish Consul there, are rejected, under tho bet'oro nientioned regulations. Notice has also been received that persons resid-. ing in L'nited States seaports, who call themselves passport agents, are in the habit of giving certifi cates, in which it is stated that they havo applied to the Department of State for passports, and that those certificates, being vised by a Spanish consul, and presented as passports in Cuban ports, are rejected there, under tho samo regulation before mentioned. (Signed) William II. Seward. From Nashville. Nashville, Sept. 5. The following Is a copy of General Forrest's letter to Mr. Woodward, corres pendentof the Cincinnati Commercial: Memphis, Sept. 3, 1808 1 have just read your letter in the Commercial giving a report of'our conversation of Friday last. 1 do not think you would intentionally misrepresent mo, but you have done so, and I suppose because you misunderstood my meaning. The portions of your letter to which I object are corrected in the following paragraphs: I promised the Legislature niypersonal influence and aid in maintaining order and enforcing the laws. I havo never advised the people to resist any law, but to submit to the laws until they can be corrected by lawful legislation. I said tho militia bill would cause no trouble, unless they violated tho law by carrying out the Governor's proclamation, which I believed to be unconstitutional and in violation of the law, in shooting men down without a trial, as recommended by that proclamation. 1 said it was re ported, and I believed the report, that there are 40,000 Kuklux in Tennessee, sand I believed the organization was stronger in the other States. I meant simply when I said that tho Kuklux recog nized the Federal government that they would obey all State laws, and that they recognize all laws and will obey them so I have been.informed in protectingypenceablo citizens from oppression from any quarter. I did not say that every man's houso was picke'ed, and I did not intend to convey tho idea that 1 would raise any troops; more than that, no man could do it in live days, even if they were organised. I said General Grant was at Holly Springs, and not at Corinth. I said the charge against him was false. I did not utter the word "liar." 1 cannot consent to remain silent iu this matter, for if I did so, under an incorrect impression of my personal views, I might be looked upon as one desiring a conflict, when in truth I am so averse to anything of the kind that I will make any honorable sacri fice to avoid it. Hoping that I may havo this ex planation placed before your readers, I remain, very respectfully, yours. (Signed) N. B. Forrest. Nashville. Sept. 5. The committee appointed by the Legislature to wait on President Johnson consists of Senator Wlsenor and lteprcsentatives A gee and Hamilton. The militia bill cannot pass the Senate in its present shape, and will probably fail altogether. From Georgia. Atlanta, Sept. 6 Tho Senate to-day brought up the bill for the relief of debtors and the adjust ment of debts on the principles of equity, and, after a long discussion, it was passed by a vote of 18 to 17. The House took up the bill authorizing tho Gene ral Assembly to elect a Superintendent, Auditor and Treasurer of tho State ltoad. A majority of the Judiciary Committee favored the bill, and the minority report opposed it. A substitute was ottered and adopted that the General Assembly elect five Commissioners of tho State Koad, whose duty it shall be to elect a Superintendent, Auditor and Treasurer. This will come up on Monday, and will probably be passed. A resolution was offered, but not acted on, de claring negroes ineligible to any and all offices of the Slate, and that all offices of tho State now filled by negrscs be declared vacant by reason of ineligi bility , and that the Governor bo directed to havo such offices filled in compliance with the code of Georgia. The Governor and other authorities of the State are instructed to refuse commissions to all persons of color that have been or may be elected to any office in this State until tho Supreme Court of the State has decided on the eligibility of co lored persons.

The Twelfth Ward Awakb Thcro was an immense ltepublican meeting on Saturday night at tho corner of old York road and Crown street, in tho Twelfth ward, on the occasion of raising a Grant and Colfax banner, probably the largest in the city. It has a representation of the Goddess of Liberty in the centre on either side of which are features of Grant and Colfax. Beneath these are the names of the various ltepublican candidates. At 8 o'clock the vast assemblage was called to order by Conard S. Grove, who nominated for President Moses A. Dropsie, Esq. This being agreed to, Mr. Dropsie read the names of the following gentlemen as the other officers: A ico Presidents E. A. Talmage, M. Hall Stan ton, Dr. Jos. Delavau, John H. Siner, T. Chalkly Wood, Kudolph Swartz, Price L. Patton. Secretaries Wm. Krety, Frederick Breitlngcr, Albert Potts, Jacob Kaiguel, Wm. N. Neill, Julius Stein, James Swover. Mr. Dropsie then said it was a pleasing duty with him to mingle with the residents of tho Northern Liberties. There wero no resolutions to bo offered to-night, as those who were the originators of tho meeting believed that all those present would go home resolving to support Gen. U. S. Grant and Hon. Schuyler Colfax, as well as though it was read from paper. It was unnecessary to say that we were on the eve of an important election. He had not come here to heap abuse upon the candidates of tho opposition party, but had concluded to spend a short time in convincing any doubting one of the necessity of supporting the entire Republican ticket. He then spent a long time in discussing the ques tion of slavery, showing that the Republicans, in overthrowing that institution, had elevated tho dignity of labor. He then invoked his listeners to enter the canvass with a lively spirit, and let the world see that the party who had so wisely and dis creetly held the reigns of government since 1850 could as well manage the allairs of the nation In the future. The Hon. Charles Gibbons then addressed the meeting, and said the ticket presented by the lte publican party for the support of the people was one which challenged the respect and should re ceive the suffrages of all who desired good rulers, good olliccrs and a good government. Upon it were the names of men who would be faithful to the in terests of the country and to those of the tax-payers. He would not refer to himself iu auy manner what ever. The speaker then, in a powerful and argumenta tive speech, commended tho acts of the late ltepub lican Congress, the wisdom of tho acts of recon struction for the southern States. He commented upon their regard for the manufacturing interests, in the reduction of taxes, and in their reducing the tax upon incomes. He showed how they had re duced the public debt, and the rate of interest upon the same. They had legislated for the poor as well as tho rich, and they deserve tho thanks of our people. He then referred to the acts of General Kosccrans, and his attempt to make capital for the Democracy by confer ring with those who had been our coun try's worst enemies. This act was deserving of the condemnation of all Union-loving men. Hisspccch was truly a masterly effort. It was clothed in chaste and elegant language, betokening the well read lawyer and brilliaiitorator. Ho was frequently interrupted by the cheers of his hearers. The President then introduced William B. Mann, Est)., w ho was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. He said it had been his fortune to address his fellow-citizens in different sections of the State dur ing the past month upon tho issues of the day, and t lint he had found the people wero alive with en thusiasm, and would rally to the support of tho candidates of tho ltepublican party. The import ance of the coming election was felt upon every hand, and the same spirit of energy prevailed as when in 1800 and 1804 the martyred Lincoln was elected to the Presidential chair. From every por tion of the Stato wo hear glad tidings, that tho great ltepublican party the party of freedom will be sustained; that its success in October is be jond doubt. That success will prove a sure fore runner of the ignominious dufeat of tho so-called Democracy and its rebel supporters in November. (Cheers). It has been given out and circulated throughout tho Keystone Stato that this city will be carried in October by the rebel ticket. This, my friends, is but a game of brag, und intended for the purpose of covering up frauds, to encourage ballot boxstuf fers and repeaters, and to fix up things. Freemen be on your guurd. Look out for fraudulent natur alization papers. Bo of good cheer. The true hearted patriots who fought for the preservation of this Union will watch the ballot box as they never watched it before, (cheers,) and I think that many of those who attempt to defraud tho people of Penn sylvania will be furnished with quarters at the pub lic expense, where even tho sun of Democracy can not shed a ray of light upon them. It is an insult to the fair fame and patriotism of tho citizens ef Philadelphia to say that a rebel ticket can be oar ried here. Best assured rebel calculations will fail. Tho ltepublican ticket will be carried in this city next October by 5000 majority. (Great cheering.) Mr. Maun then referred to the candidate fur Dis trict Attorney, Charles Gibbous, Esq., who had Just addressed the meeting, and said that this office was of the highest importance. I t should bo tilled by a citizen of unsullied integrity, and one of the highest legal attainments. Such a candidate you have in Mr. Gibbons. He is known to you all. He never sought tho office. His nomination was a tri bute to bis merit, lio has ever been the defender of human rights, of the p.or and down-trodden of every nation and clime, the champion of liberty and freedom. The speaker made a powerful ap peal upon his behalf, and also for the election of the Hon. Leonard Myers; and in rcsionse to the question whether they would elect these candidates, Mr. Mann whs greeted with shouts of "We will, we will." He then closed amidst hearty cheers, when the meeting adjourned. Tuo-boat Owners' and Captains' Mrrtino.

Bethany Mission.--To those of our readers who have never visited this live Sabbath School organization, at the corner of Twenty-second and Snippen streets, we advise to take the earliest opportunity. It will be profitable, in teresting and instructive. The building ti superior to any Sabbath School room in Phila delphia; the arrangements tor tbe Infant de partments, adults, the Bible and other classes, are convenient and admirably adapted to the various purposes, and, indeed, there is no feature ot Beth any but what designates matured judgment and skill in the preparation of the entire s'.ructure for an active school. A pleasing Incident of yesterday's session was tie usual collection lor missionary objects, which is taken upon the first babbath ot each month. The different classes make their own collections and send them to the Superintendent's desk, where the number of class, teacher, and name of class is read aloud, with the amount contributed for the month. The offerings for Ausust were fifty dollars, a large amount for a Mission School to contribute during a single month of summer, but smaller than the general average ot Bethany. It is a noble work, aud exhibits what the energy and determination of a single person can do in the cause of Christ and in gathering the little children lor instruc tion in thote great Bible truths which, when adopted aid followed, prepare us for eternity and insure us a home in heaven. John Wana maker, Esq., projected this enterprise, and to him alone is due the credit ot its success and usefulness. He has gathered around him a band of faithful teachers, who are amply rewarded for their labor in the continued extension nnd strengthening of Bethany. Mr. Wanamaker is fortunate in having such efficient, aid us our friend Charles B. Mount, Esq., can aud dies reader tbe mission in his omcc of librarian. The only diawback to Bethany is the music. They have a good organ, and many very fine voices among the children, but no apparent interest is manifested to have them sing in time or with expression or effect. A little care will remedy this serious detect, and when accom plished this mission school will become the meet interesting Sabbath afternoon reiort in Philade)phia. A Pkobablk iMrosTon.
