General Thomas Jordan In Chief Command of
the JaHleni Division.
A correspondent ia lluvn.ua writes on the
17th instant:
General Thomas Jordan has been given the
chief command iu the Kaeteru Department, aud
has had a couple of lights with the Spaniards, in
which his Cuban troops acted very well, aud to
bis entire satisfaction, lie has formed a large
camp of Instruction iu .the district of Holguiit,
and is thoroughly organizing, drilling, disci
plining, equipping, and arming some MOO picked
men, divided into battalions of infantry aud
cavalry and companies of artillery, for he has
fourteen Held pieces with him.
While ho is training this force, his generals
and colonels in other parts of tho departmeut
ihave orders to harass the Spaniards, but to avoid
all serious engagements, which accounts for the
Spanish troops not meeting with more resistance
in some of their marches. SViien his picked
force is iu that condition uf . Ilieicncy he waut
It to bo in, General Jordan will then sweep down
unexpectedly upon the many scattered detach
ments of the over-eoulideut riji.tuiards, uud is
hopeful of capturing most cithern, iu detail.
Count de Valmascda is one of those to whom ho
will pay the first military compliments of his
ifighting season.
General Jordan, iu tailing .command of tho
Eastern Department, found the "armies of libe
ration" too abundantly supplied with officers,
psj ticulariy of high grade, so be proposed that a
oertnin number should uptime lower positions,
but have a Lrevet title for the ones they should
vacate. This was ut one n-reoJ to, and the
number of o.flieers, not only in the army of the
cast, but in lUl tho "armies of liberation, was
appropriately reduced. Oi list: six Major-Generals
iu the Easjftrn Department, only lour retain
their positions Marcano, Donato Miuriuol, Julio
Peralia, and Miwimo Gomez; one of the other
two, Modesto Diaz, taking charge of a
brigade, and Figucrdo having Income Governor
of tho Eastern Suite, formed by the lately
adopted constitution of the republic of Cuba.
Mr. Tinker and Seior Ci-neros will soon leave
for Nassau and the United States, charged with
gu important mission, and the bearers of valu
able despatches from President Cespedes. Air.
Fullerton thinks they must now be away lor
Cuba, and that their "important mission ia to
obtain arms and ammunition, of which the
Cubans are yet much iu need. Had War Minis
ter Aguilcra some 30,000 more Jlouiingtou aud
pea bod v ritles, with a corresponding auiouut of
MTimun'ition, in less than thirty days he would

NAPOLEON.
Tbc French Emperor nd the Politic! t'rlxln
1 1. mn rnt on hi Conduct bv both French nixl
Ft ftlih Journal.
The J'atrie (semi-official) says: "The note of
the J'aye is addressed to the majority. Whore,
for the moment, is that majority to be fouudr1
We find at the bottom of the interpellation of
the Xt'cr J'arti the names of 110 deputies.
About 49 belonging to the Moderate left and
Extreme will naturally be added to the group ol
110 names belonging to the Ceutre. Where,
then, is the majority now?"
The Temp (Opposition) writes on the same
subject: "An interesting question, butoue which
appears insoluble, is to know how au Imperial
confession finds itself thus divulged, and how a
note drawn up for the Emperor's personal use
could be made public by the J'ays. Tho inten
tion is not dillicult to discover, it is evidently
with the view to present the Emperor as making
the amnide honorable to the old majority, who
so badly received the engagements of the 19th of
January. The note is, therefore, au advance made
to the ultras of the present majority; uud it im
plies a threat of reaction. Under this
double guise it is especially ill-limed. Happily,
everything leads to the belief that the J'uy lias
been mystified. Tho Emperor cannot have com
mitted such an enormous error of judgment as
to address himself to a majority which no longer
exists. The majority of to-day may alternate
from right to left, aud at tho present moment it
has all the appearance of being with those who
have signed the interpellation. If the Emperor
desires to give tho Chamber a proof of Ins de
ference, it is towards tho Icft Centre, and not
towards the Arcadians, he would turn his eyes."
The Liberie (Left Centre) is Blill more out
spoken. Here is its article:
"An Act of Madness. It is asserted that it
is seriously contemplated not to allow the inter
pellation to be brought forward in the Corps
i.egislatif. The President would refuse to re
ceive it on the ground of its being unconstitu
tional. These rumors are as untrue as they are
improbable. Had they the ghost of a founda
tion, we feel sure M. Schneider would resign his
post as President of the Chamber. It is unne
cessary to inquiie whether the interpellation is
unconstitutional or not. Matters have come to
that pass that such a question is an idle oue. To
prate about 'unconstitutionality' iu a couutry
which has witnessed the overthrow of
eleven successive constitutions, and prac
tically illustrated Carlyle's axiom that
'the best of constitutions is not worth the paper
it is written on,' is either silliness or low cun
ning. There is something above all constitu
tions, and especially above that which has itself
loyally declared capable of perfection, viz.: the
decided and clearly expressed will of a great
nation. Well, lie it so; let us admit for a mo
ment that it is unconstitutional. Hut then it is
M. Kouher as perpetual Minister of State; for
w ithout the abrogation of the forty fourth ar
ticle of the Constitution nobody would or could
consent to be deputy. It would be the empire
blocked up. Again we must say the rumor is
false; if it proves to be true, it will be au act of
maducs9."
The Onlv Course I.oft for the Fuuicror.
From the London Spectator, July 10.
We believe there is a course open to the Em
peror which he has attentively studied, and
w hich, if overpressed, ho may at last attempt to
pursue and that is, to try whether iu Fraucc a
lrcc Legislature and a free Executive canuot co
exist. They co-existed across the Atlantic for
nearly a hundred years. In January, 1800, Na
poleon stated in his speech from the throne that
the true analogue for the Constitution of France
was tho Constitution of tho United States,
and several of his utterances at different
times indicate that the peculiar position of
an American President, bo irresponsible within
his sphere, seems to him much less powerless
and pitiable than that of a constitutional
monarch in the English sense. Up to 1800 a free
Executive did get along in America with a free
Legislature, and the Emperor, who at heart be
lieves that a free Chamber is sure, sooner or
later, to make itself contemptible, might not be
disinclined, wanting any other road of escape,
to try that experiment to grant, that is, all
that the Legislature demands for itself,
yet refuse ministerial responsibility. Sup
pose, for example, that he withdrew,
uoncstiy wiinurew, irom au control ot elec
tions, restored the right of proposing measures
to the members, retaining only his veto, and
allowed tho Chamber to select its own ollicers,
he would retain, in the face of a free Legisla
ture, a vast body of power. Ho would bo com
pelled, no doubt, to execute the laws; but he
executes them now, and no new law can be
passed except with his consent. Ho would re
tain the control of the vast machine, the French
bureaucracy, with its all but limitless influence,
would have a direct hold upon the Chamber
through his patronage and his party, and
would be quite as much master of the fore'uru
policy of France as he is now. It is easy to
say a free Chamber could restrain that policy,
but funds for a war once declared are never
refused, except under penalty of invasion; and
the American 1 louse of Kepresentatives has
never yet exercised any stringent control over
the policy of the country. The position would
be a very great one, aud the Emperor's power,
though much more limited than at present,
would still within its limits be real and unfet
tered, while there would be none of the untruth
fulness which Napoleon is accustomed to as
cribe to constitutional monarchy. It is in this
direction that Napoleon, if convinced that he
must surrender personal government, and linally
decided against war, and if resolved on any re
solution ut all, will, we believe, endeavor to
move; and it will Vie curious to observe
whether this kind of freedom will content his
people. We Biispeet it will not; that they will
pronounce it Illogical, as indeed it is; and that
the members will not surrender their highest
ambition that of becoming ministers. Occa
sions of collision will be sought instead of
avoided; tho Republican party will proclaim
itself the Chamber; and tho often repeated, in
exorable situa'ion of France an internecine
quarrel between the Parliament and the person
will once more be reproduced. Still, everv
course now open to hint involves a choice ot
evils, and this one is of all the one which will
seem to the Emperor himself the least humili
ating. A number of the "Annals of Indian Admi
nistration for lbf,7 1808," just received from
India, contains a very elaborate digest of the
most recent statistical information regarding the
numbers, employments, castes, and religious
professions of the inhabitants of tho British
1- nipii'c in the East and the dependent States.
We extract a lew details touching the last of
these subjects, as it is one on which trustworthy
accounts have been altogether delicient until
very lately. Out of more than 150,000,000 in
habitants of tho couutry under direct British
dominion, 110,000,000 are Hindoos, 25,000,01X1
Mussulmans (a much smaller proportion than
was popularly supposed); while 12,XXI,0(K)
belong to those strange tribes who de
scend from the occupiers of India before
tho Aryan immigration (as it is now called)
took place; pdma-val men, who lived and wor
shipped before the great religions of our days
bad their origin. There are ulso 4,000,000 of
Buddhists and a few Jews and l'arsees. The
I'lOinaii Catholics claim (it(),(XH) native adherents;
these are chiefly found iu tho extreme south of
the Peninsula, uud descend from the ancient
community known as tho Christians of St.
Thomas. 'Tho Protestant missionaries estimated
the numbers attached to their persuasion at
2L'J 000 in 1802; but the total is thought to have
trre-ittly augmented since the date of that esti
mate fhiclly by conversion among the aborigl
nul tribe in remote parts of India and in Bur
.....i, Tim Christians of European aud mixed
I utia are 0,nui"tsd at ubout IW0.000.

IIabiusbvko, July "'!. The School Superin
tendents' Convention was again in session this
morning.
A resolution providing that School Directors
shall be sworn ollicers was carried.
Mr. Morris, of Chester, introduced a resolu
tion that, in the opinion of this convention, the
law exempting mortgages, judgments, etc., from
taxation for school purposes, is found to be de
trimental to the interests of the common schools,
and that we respectfully ask for its repeal. Car
ried unanimously.
Mr. Boyd, of York, submitted a resolution
that the school law providing for the support of
county institutes be so amended as to enable
county superintendents to apply a portion of the
funds received from the county in defraying the
expenses of local institutes. Adopted.
Mr. Majfce, of Centre, introduced a resolution
that this convention recommend such a pro
vision of the school law as to afford relief to
poor districts by a more uniform system of tax
ation. Adopted. '
State Superintendent Wickcrsham addressed
the convention at length, promising every aid
in hie power to the county Buperintendouts. He
wanted the common schools in Peausylva iia
the best in the United States. He Ual now on
his desk the draft of a new school law, to be
submitted to tho next Legislature. The West
ern States arc even now looking to Pennsyl
vania for educational improvements. It was
now not even second to Massachusetts. Ho out
lined what he deemed proper for a common
school system for this., State. It should gather
children of all classes, races, colors and condi
tion, into the school room. This was the only
just busis of a common school system. He
wanted academics and high schools encouraged
by the State, and over and above academies he
wanted all the colleges thrown open, aided ma
terially by the Commonwealth. He contem
plated a few years hence a free UState niversity,
free to every youth iu Pennsylvania. We must
look beyond and above reading, writing,
arithmetic, grammar, aud geography, in our
free educational system. (Applause.) In the
next Legislature this would be pressed to an
issue. We have a right to aim high iu Penusyl
n i a. She must take the lead in education.
Mr. Douthctt, of Allegheuy, offered a resolu
tion for the, increase of the minimum of tho
school term to six month throughout the State,
and asking an additional appropriation for tho
purpose. Adopted.

1 on now, July 21. The die l cast, and the
struggle between tho Lords and the couutry has
finally come to an issue. In conscipicnco of the
abrupt termination of the debate last night, in
tense excitement has prevailed among political
circles during the day.. The Cabinet has been
in session all this afternoon, and a report is
afloat that great dissensions exist In the Coun
cil. Messrs. Gladstone, Bright, Lowe, and all
the strongest members insist on an immediate
withdrawal of the Irish Church bill, on the
ground of the obstinate resistance of tho Peers
to tho principles which renders a direct conflict
between tho two houses of Parliament Inevi
table. Some members of the Cabinet, Ird Cla
rendon among the nuinbcr,advocated more mode
rate proceedings, such as letting the bill take its
course and only abandoning it at the lat mo
ment. The insulting language used by Ixird Salis
bury tow ards Mr. Gladstone, joined to the large
jiiajority cast against the preamble, however,
show that all attempts to effect a compromise
arc useless. There is little doubt but that Mr.
Gladstone will carry his point of withdrawing
the bill immediately. This will be followed by
u speedy adjournment, and calling another ses
sion in August, and creating a large batch of
new peers, sufficient in number to overcome the
present Tory majority. Placards have been
posted oil the walls to-day, headed,
" Shall the people or the lords rule?"
and calling a mass meeting at Arundel
Hall for to-morrow. This will be followed
by a monster open air demonstration. Rumors
are afloat that the Duke of Cambridge has
openly expressed his indignation at the radical
ism shown by the Ministry, and he hopes that
the Queen will refuse to sanction the coercion of
the peers. The present crisis promises well to
open the ball to sweeping reforms In England,
commencing with the virtual destruction of tho
hereditary legislation.
'1 lie Council of ftlinlntrm-No Definite Couxhc
ItcMolvcd I'pon.
The Cabinet Council this afternoon was an
unusually protracted one, and did not break up
until a late hour. No definite result was arrived
at from the deliberations. The final decision
und future course of the Ministry were reserved
until to-morrow, wheu another Cabinet meeting
will be held.
The latest rumors afloat are that the Govern
ment will make one last offer for a compromise
before it resorts t extreme measures by the
withdrawal of the bill.
Lords Granville, Clarendon, and others, it is
said, made earnest appeals for moderation,
urging the extreme danger of giving reins to the
revolutionary sentiments of the masses at the
present moment. Notwithstanding the hesita
tion of the Ministry, the conflict between tho
peers and the people is inevitable. The crisis
will be delayed only from a knowledge of the
momentous character of the undertaking. It is
rumored that a disruption of the Cabinet may
ensue.

HiockinR ltnllroad Accident Tw o Men Crushed
VeKpatch to The Evening 7'elegraph.
Indianapolis, Ind., July 21. A terrible rail
road accident occurred iu this city last evening
by the curly express train from Chicago. As it
crossed Georgia street, two men, named James
M. Williams and Samuel Monroe, were run
over. It appears they were asleep upon the
track' having been intoxicated when they laid
down the prexious night.
Monroe's right foot and ankle were crushed
entirely to pieces; his left thigh was badly hurt,
an artery being cut, from which he suffered
great loss of blood. Williams' left leg was
crushed from the knee down to tho foot, and
the right leg broken between the anklo and the
knee. All efforts to create a reaction in his
system sullieicut to permit amputation were
unavailing, and he died at VI o'clock noon.
-Monroe seems to be doing very well this after
noon. An old lady, seventy years old, died yesterday
from the effects of a kick from a cow which
she was milking.
Two ;irln Attempt to Commit Snielde.

rescued from a watery grave. Mis McCoy is a
young girl about 10 years old, while her com
panion Is several years her senior.
IHrirry or Die.
One of the principals of our city schools has

ployed a young lady as teacher. She was of
rather fine uppearunte, which attracted his at
tention, uud he soon won her affections and
finally seduced her. This reached the ears of
the young lady's father, and it is stated that he
has informed tho principal that ho must marry
her or die.

A correspondent of tho Allgemeine Zeitung
at Nagasaki gives some curious information as
to the present state of affairs in Japan. Ho says
that, although the principal daimios have all
agreed to abdicate their power in favor of the
Mikado, their acts are not in accordance with
their professions, and it is probable that before
long Japan will again be plunged into a civil
war as disastrous us that which has just termi
nated. Many of the daimios and Satsuma in
particular, are deeply involved In debt, notwith
standing which they continually buy arms aud
ships iu large quantities. The real reason of .
the submission of the daimios, was that the
princes of the south, who led the rebellion
against tho Tycoon, and eventually conquered
him, wire unable to agree ' i to the
division of the spoil, and conse
quently made over tho Tycoon's revenues
to the Mikado. Most of these revenues pro
ceed from confiscated property in the north of
the island, where many of the daimios are secret
adherents of the Tycoon; and the southern
princes knew that if they divided1 this property
among themselves, they would not bo able to
defend it against their enemies. As it is, the
Mikado is totally dependent on tho southern
daimios, who furnish him with the funds ueces
sary to carry on the Government, and any dis
putes among them are just as likely to prodnce
a civil war as before. Under the "now system
the Tycoon, or temporal sovereign, is to be
abolished, and a confederation not unliko that
which formerly prevailed in Germany to bo
created, with the Mikado, or spiritual sovereign,
at its head. This arrangement, though it pro
mises little for the maintenance of order, has at
least one advantage for European merchants
in Japan. Instead of the two sove
reigns, with powers and responsibilities so vague
that no European could understand which of
them was really responsible for the duo execu
tion of treaties'and the conduct of officials, there
w ill now be a single government with a tangible
head. Europeans may now expect some reform
iu the system of currency, which has brought
on them so many severe losses. Under the
treaties of 1800 the silver coin (boo) was to bo
1114 grains in weight, nine-tenths of which were
to consist of pure silver; but tho quantity of
silver in the coins actually In circulation has
always been much less. The reason of this is
that hitherto there has been no Government
mint, the money having been coined uader the
direction of individual daimios, who of course
do not consider themselves bound by treatie.

There Is not a very sharp demand for money to
day, though the offerings at the banks are cousitler
ubly lu excess of their ability to accept, and very
many applications are rejected from day to dav,
which gives a lively uppcurunce to the street, where
our business men who are not so fortunate as to be
creditors of the Oovernment are forced to betake
themselves for temporary relief. Under these cir
cumstances it is not strange thut the tone of our
money market continues strong, ami tho rates,
espeelully iu the street where ull the discounting is
done, should exhibit no sign of relaxation. Call
h mis are mude at 7 per cent, on the best collaterals,
and A 1 business names are discounted ut from 8(ojl2
per cent., according to credit und necessities.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
The following extract show the state of the NeW
York money market yesterday:
From the Herald.
"The money market to-day was very steady, and
tho rate ou cull still ranged from six to seven per
cent., according to the class of collateral. There
are us yet no execums ut tho lower ruto upon
stocks, but the Instances at six per cent, arc quite
Ireiiuent on pledgt s of Uovernment bonds. The
currency movement with the Interior is r-porled
about even, so that tho Treasury dis
bursements are the present M.mrce of
increase to the loanable funds of the banks. The pur
chases to-day have added; nearly four inilll us of
dollars to the currency of tin: eilv, but the sale of
gold to-morrow w in withdraw nearly a million and a
half Bguln. Some curiosity is manifested to kno.v
w hetlu r the (iovemmi nt put chases of bonds, lu ad
dition to those for the Sinking Fund, will he con
tinued next month. We have reason for Intimating
thut Secretary Boutwell will be gifideil by the con
dition of the money in irket at the end of ,tilv. As to
Increasing ills sub s of gold, it Is hardly probable
that he will diminish his store lurther than by the
nun. mils already advertised to lie sold. The Novem
ber Instalment of interest Is a very heavy one,
and will need economy of the gold receipts
of the (iovernnient durii.g the ensuing three mouths,
the large gold balance lu the Treasury being Illusive
as it is largely n presented by gold certificate,
l urelgn exchange wus dull utter Wednesday a
steumer, but the demand wus even less than usual.
Hates were Ilrmly held, and for prime bunkers' ster
ling ranged from IIO1.1 litu, forslxtv-day and llOUito.
lto,S for sight bills. Commercial puperwas quoted
at 8 to 12 per cent, as the extreme ranire forsivtv.
duy and four months prime notes and acceptance's.
"The (iovernmeiit market, while favorably affected
by the Treasury purchases und the Rdvunce to K3S,
in London, w ns irregulur at the opening and after
wtirds fell oir a fraction upon the announcement
that the proposals to sell embraced a total of nearly
twelve millions of bonds. This figure shows thut
the supply on hand m thecitvls larger than wa
supposed, and hence a yielding in obedience to the
mevitable law took place. Agalu the foreign de
mand is entirely cheeked, because ihe home market
has been run up so largely by these weekly pur
chaser It should not be forgotten that the foreign
market wus a greater support than is the buying of
the Oovernmenr, for while the latter takesonly three
millions a week, the former was lu the habit ol re
quiring as many by eveiy prominent steamer. The
demund iu the one case was Invisible; in the Gov
ernment purchases t'lere are a parade and pub
licity which have unduly stimulated prices and
drawn u great many bonus from tho country. With
the noon price lu London ut S3 there was a yielding
in the general list, which curried the t7s down to
120 1-16. The weaker feeling In gold ut this period
wus almost operativ e upi n the market. Later in the
dny there was a reacnon and a general improve
ment, prices on the street closing steady.
"A Washington sp clal says thut tue public state
ment for the present nioiiin will show a gratifying
reduction In the total itiuount of the debt. The re
ceipts from customs and Internal revenue will In the
aggregate amount to thirty-eight or forty millions,
and the debt will lie dinniiislie.i about teu millions
of dollars. It is expected by the Treasuay ornciuls
that the exhibit for August will likewise show a
further reduction of tlie debt, while the statement
for September will probably increase the amount of
the debt a few millions, ou account of the heavy
falling otr in receipts and the anticipated large dis
bursements to meet the expenses of the War and
Navy Department."
