Hunnicutt, tho editor ol the New Nation, who was arrested yester? day ty the civil officers, waa this morning bailed by a Military Commissioner to appear at tho Charles City County Court, ten days after the ad? journment of tho Reconstruction Convention, of which he is a member, and answer to tho indictment already found against him for using incendiary languago in a public speech. The Commissioner stated that General Schofield disliked to interfere in such matters, but he did so that tho accused might attend to the duties of the Convention. His bail was fixe d at $5000. Hunnicutt claims that the indictment is merely a pretext to prevent his sit? ting in the Convention. He volunteered to appear at Court without compulsion before the military took the matter in hand.

The following aro the minority reports of the Judiciary Committee of the House ot Representa? tives adverse to the recommendation for impeach? ment of the President made by the majority, whose report was published in our first edition yesterday; Minority Report of Messrs. Wilson aud Woodbridge. Representatives James S. Wilson and Frederick E. Woodbridge handed in a report, dissenting from the conclusions arrived at by a majority of the Committee. They say on the 3d day of J inc, 1867, it was declarod by a solemn vote in the Com? mittee that, from the testimony then before thom, it did not appear that the President of the United States was guilty of such high crimes and misde? meanors as called for au exercise of the impeach? ing power of this House. Tho vote stood: Yeas five, navs four. On the 21st instant, this action of the Committoo was reversad, and a vote of fivo to four declared iu favor ot recommending to tao House au impeachment of tho President. Forty eight hours h?vo not vet olaosed sinco we were in? formed of tho character of tho roport which repre? sents this changed attitude of tho Committee. The recentness of this event compels a general treatment of some features of ti e case as it is fresented by the majority, which otherwise would ave been treated of more in detail. f "The report of tho majority resolves all pre? sumptions against the President, closes the do,r against ail doubts, affirms facts as established by tue testimony, in support of which there is not a particle of evidence before us which would be re? ceived by any Court in the land. We dissent from all of this, aud from tho temper and spirit of the ?eport. The cool and unbiassed judgment of the fQ ?.ure, when the excitements in the midst of whk>tt we uve BU&^ fiftvo passed away, will not fail to dib^507" tlut thc political bitterness of the present tjjnes has, in no Inconsiderable degreo, given tone' *? tne document which we decline to approve. "Dissenting, aB w* do, from tho report of the Committoe', both to tho law of tho case and the conclusions drawn l^oui the facts developed by the testimony, a due retford for the body which im pojed on us tho high and transcendently impor? tant duty involved hi au iuvsetigatiou of the charges preferred against tho President impels us to present at length our viows of fho subject which has been committed to us by a most solemn vote of the Houso of Repr?sentatives. In ap? proaching this duty we feel that the sp jrit of the partisan should be "laid aside, and that the inter? ests of tho republic, aa th.y are measured by its Constiti?iou aud laws, alone should guido us; and vre most doeplv regret that, in this regard, we cau not approve the report of our colleagues who con? stitute a majority of thu Committee. WhJo wc would not charge thom with a design to act the part of partisans in this Kravo proceeding, we nevertheless feel pained by thc tone, temper and snirit of their report. But" regrets will not answer the demands of the present grave and command? ing occasion, and wo, therefore, respond to them by presenting to the Houso the results of a care? ful, deliberate, ar.d, as we hope, a conscientious Investigation of the case before us." Messrs. Wilson and Woodbridge then proceeded to discuss the constitutional question in regard to impeachment, maintaining that an impeachment cannot bo supported by any act which falls short of arl indictable crime or misdemeanor. English precedents aro referred to at length, and copious extracts are made from tho testimony o? the com? mittee, in order to rofnte tho reasoning and con cl ... on cf t!:o majority. They conclude as fol? lows : "A ^reit deal of the matter contained in thevol of testimony reported to the Honse is of no ..*.;ie whatever.

JAMES P. WILSON, FREDERICK E. WOOLBRIDGE VIEWS OF MESSRS. MARSHALL AND ELDRIDGE, DE CHATS. The undersigned, agreeing with om- associi of the minority of the Committee in their vi of the law, and in the conclusion that the evide before the Committee presents no case tor the peachment of the President, might, if they 1 stopped there, been content simply to have joh in the report wnich they have .submitted. Bul they, as well as the majority, have felt it their d to go further and express their censure and c demnation of the President, we feel that it is < to ourselves and to the position we occupy to j sent as briefly as possible a few additional rema for tho consideration of the House and of country. Having determined that the evidence does show that the President has been gnilty of t act or crime for which, under our Constitution t laws, he can or ought to be impeached, this ci elusion, as it seems to us, is the determination the whole question submitted by the House to t Committee. It is the commission by the President of an i peachable offence only that can subject him to c official jurisdiction, or justify us as a commit of the House of Representatives, or even the Hot itself, as Buch, in challenging his official acts, the report of the majority does not charge t President with any act recognized by any statt or law of the land as a crime or misdemeanor, can but regard the charges preferred as a politii or parti zan demonstration intended to bring h into odium and contempt. The Executive is one of the co-ordinate depa: ments of this Government, invested with certa defined constitutional powers and prerogativ over which tho legislative has no control, and wi the constitutional exercise ol which the legislati department has no right to interfere. The origin source of all executive and legislative power is tl same-tho people; the warrant and measure those potrero the same-the Constitution. In b constitutional and legislative sphere, in the exe eise and conduct of his department, the Preside! is as free to act and as independent as the Co: grcss while acting within the bounds prescrib? for it by the Constitution. He is no more accoun able or responsible to Congress than Congress to him. O ngress has no moro authority to cei sure and c< ide mn him than he has to censuro an condemn ( .ingress. The onl; question with reference to which tl Committee were authorized to inquire was if th charges against the President were true, and coi 6titutcd an offence subjecting bim to impeacl meut. Certainly, if this is not the only questio referred to the Committee, it is the only one whic the Committee as such has investigated. Tb political propriety of the acts of the President ha not tor ono moment engaged the attention of tb Committee. Not a wituess was called or examined with an view to proving a case for merely censuring o condemning thc political action of the President No suggestion was made or intimation given b the majority of the Committee till the resolutioi of censure ."as offered that there was any pur pos of considering as a Committee any but the quos tion of impeachment. Nor was thi re then, as w understood it, any purpose of reporting sud r?solution to the House for its off.cial action. Hence we insist that if thc committee had th right and jurisdiotion (which we deny) to examin into the political and d scret onary acts of th President, with a view to his < ontjemnation, tba it has not in any legit mate md proper manne investigated or attempted to consider that subjeo? Tho l're8idont was not tte President of ou choice, and was not elected r ? our votes, n ir is i necessary that wo should agvc with him or ju?tif or approve all he has dope. The Presidents greate c offense, we appiehend will bc found to be that he has not been able o willing to follow those who elected him to his ol fic? ? their mad asear its upon and departure fron tho const:!Ution?l government of the tathers o * Vanti?g himself finE** aud Immovably upon hi position, he has in Wd the 5?* malignan hatred and opposition of ail those w_'? cu^m' u virtue of the alleged conquest of the temtoT** aU( the subjugation of tho people of tb o late rebellious States, the power and right to dictate to them tb< constitution and laws they shall live under and tin liberties they shall be permitted to enjoy. In this diffcronco between Congress and tho President and tho desire ot each for thc adoption by the countrv of their respective viows, is, wo suspect, tobe fouudnot only the cause for the movemeul to impeach thc President, out of his censure anc condemnation. But tho conjure of the President, either by tln. majority or the minority, is, without our jurisdic? tion, not justified by tho facts, unbecoming one de? partment of the Government toward the other, and calculated to bring reproach upon tho committeo, the House, and the nation. Antagonism of one dopartment of the govern? ment toward another will ultimately produce enmi? ty and open hostility aud aggressions which must result in the destruction or one or more depart? ments, and, as a consequence, destroy our system of government altogether. The report goos on to say that Mr. Johnson is censured for things that Mr. Lincoln was applaud? ed; that Mr. Stanton gave his approval of acts for which Mr. Johnson is arraigned, and adds : The President has used o vt ry means within his power to bring the great State prisoner, Jefferson Davis, to a speedy trial, and yet he has been denounced throughout the land for procrastinating and pre? venting the trial, while the judges and prosecu? ting officers having entire control of the matter have boen deemed worthy of the most honored plaudits. The President is gravely arraigned for arraying himself against tho Lyal people of the country in voting the miscalled reconstruction acts of Con? gress. Congress itself has for these same acts first received the most withering and indignant condemnation and rebuke of the entire people, trom alaino to California. Tho impeachers, tor getting that they have been themselves impeach? ed, and that thc'vordict of the tribunal of last ro sort has already been renderod against them, still persist in trifling with the peace, safety and pros? perity of the country, by perpetrating upon it the dangerous question at a "tune so critical as this. Vre cannot doubt that the evidence herewith this day submitted will be received with one uni? versal b irst of indignation by the American peo pie. If they retain any just pride in their country and its institutions, they will blush to find that th? chief officer of their Government has for ten mouths been subjected to the scrutiny of a secret Star Chamber inquisition unparalleled in its churacter iu the annals of civilization. A drag? net has been put out to catch every malicious whisper. Spies have been sent all over the land to fiud something that might blacken the name and character of tho Chief Magistrate ol our couu I try. Unwhipped knaves have given information ot fabulous lettors and documents that, like the ignis jaiuiis, eternally eluded the grasp of their pursuers. That most notorious character. General L. C. Baker, ."chief ol tho detective torco," even had :he effrontery to insult the American peoplo by placing his spies within the very walls of the Ex? ecutive mansion. The privacy of the President's home, bis private life and habits, and most se? cret thoughts, have not been deemed sacred or exempt trom invasion ; the members of his house? hold have been examined, aud the chief prosecu? tor bas not hesitated to dive into loathsome dun? geons and consort with convicted felons for the yaroole ot accomplishing the object of arraign? ing the President on a charge ot infamous crimes. C mcerning Detective Baker s testimony, tho report add* : In every important statement he is contradict? ed bv witnesses of unquestioned credibility, and there eau bo no doubt that to his many previous outrage? entitling him to au unenviable im? mortality, bc hun added that ot v* ?ll?'iil and de? liberate perjury, and we aro glad to know that DO ono member of the committee deems any rt' itcment made by bim as worthy of the slirht <Ht credit.

Wo give below the views of several prominent journals of tho reports of the Judiciary Committee mail" to the United Staten House of Repr?senta? tives on Monday : [From the Philadelphia Ledger, Iudependeut.] This proceeding, Tthe proposed impeachment.] even though it should fail to receive the endorse? ment of the House, can hardly fail to disturb the business interests of the country. They aro now so seriously unsettled and embarrassed that even adverse trifles aggravate their condition ; but thia I step, on so exciting a subject, is by no means a ( trifle. And all to what end ? The belief is general t that tho sense of a considerable majority of the J House, although much incensed against tho Presi? dent, is against impeachment. But the immedi? ate effect will bo to p; capitate Congress into a passionate partisan debate, when tho minds of all thu members should be devoted to a cool and dispassionate consideration of the trreat needs of the industrial and business interest of the whole country. At thiB time, when so man;1 fac? tories are closed and closing; when so many oeo ple are out of employment; when so mauy of those who are employed are either working on short timo, or are threatened with reduced wages; when tho currency, the debt and the revenue need so much care and attention; when so many men who are in business, and who in ordinary times would regard themselves as prosperous and sate, are ap? prehensive that some adverse political blast may crumble their substance and their busine s into ashes. At such a,tune these interests should have the earnest and important attention of Congress, to the exclusion of everything calculated to em? barrass their action by arousing partisan passion. These are matters that the toiling millions should think of and impress their representatives about, for thev are of infinitely more impor.ance to them than the question of who shall distribute official patronage for a few months or a year or so. (From th National Intelligencer.! The report is truly the most ridiculous and dis? gusting compound of unblushing effrontery, igno? rant conceit and feeble attempts to gloss over a wicked revolutionary design that ever was pre? sented to a grave, deliberative body, lt is humil? iating to every Amorican citizen that there can be found in tho national halls of legislation mon so lost to every sentiment of honor, justice and de? cency as to" affix their signatures to such a dis? graceful document. [From the New York Times, Republican.] Unless the evidence gathered bv the judiciary committee embraces facts altogether new to the country, the report recommending impeachment will amount to nothing. Tho allegations on which Mr. BoutweU, as tho mouthpiece of the majority, relies to justify the measure and insure its success, are merely a rehash of charges again and again preferred during the progress of thc reconstruc? tion controversy, and always for political effect. No striking accusation appears-no tet se state? ment of facts that can arouso popular feeling and reconcile it to a formal arraignment of the execu? tive. The prevailing hope is that the moderation and good sense of the majority of the House will tri? umph over the intemperate counsels of tho ex? tremists, and so bring to naught, an agitation which menaces with ruin every financial and com? mercial interest. The public are evidently un? willing to assume that tho Republican party will be mad enough to precipitate thc crisis which im? peachment involves. Lpon this point tho Wall street barometer is conclusive. Gold rose a frac? tion or two under the momentary excitement of | the nows on Monday, bnt quickly subsided to the figuro at which it opened. The same skepticism exists everywhere. The country has not much faith in the judgmont of many of the leading spirits of tho House, but it is not propared to be? lieve that the dominant party is intent upon com? mitting suicide. [From the New York Tribune, RadicaL] Tho wholo question of impeachment must bo considered, not as party policy, but as national duty. Congress must cuter into this investigation, determined to shrink from none of inresponsibili? ties. There is no law moro plainly written than that which provides impeachment, and it is the only law thal stands between the country and a dictatorship. We cannot impeach Mr. Johnson because he bas left the Republican party. If he has been merely such a President as McClellan or Pendleton would have been, thon impeachment is a political menace and amounts to nothing. On the other hand, if the evidence warranta it, wc must not refuse to proceed, because, perchance, we may lesson our majorities at the next election. Let there be no passion in thc matter. The pre? cedent we mako will last for all time. Tho Fede? ral Executive office is necessary to tho harmony of ojr system, and it must not be rudely assailed. We have not vet seen evidence enough to make up our mind in favor of impeachment, and we shall wait and see what now evidence has been ob? tained. I From the New York Herald,] Manifestly tho object of the Radical soreheads is to divert the public attention fi om their revolu? tionary doings in Congress to tho alleged usurpa? tions of the President, if they can do nothing more. By the general verdict of this year's elec? tions they stand condemucd from Connecticut to California", and back agam to iNew York, where a popular anti-Radical majority of filty thousand stares them in tb" 'ace. Brit this cuttle-fish de? vice of darkening io water will not save them. There is a danger in it to the Kdpublicau party which its thoughtful and cool-headed men will, if possible, avoid; for if Andrew Johnson's impeach? ment and removal bo niado a party test, the result will bo a disruption of the party. We have had this result foreshadowed in ult these late olectious; for this thing of impeachment, we repeat, was among the deadweights thoroof which the Re? publican party had to carry. The terrible drama of Radical tuuuticism has hero degenerated into a miserable farce, and the farce will soon be endod. i'hc radical programme for the succession has OOll&ps.d. Thu eleven rebel States, deluding Ten? nessee, reconstructed on tho basis of negro supremacy, will doubtless all be hurried up and hurried into Congress in season for tho presiden? tial election, aud they will all bo radical Stales. But they will not be sufficient to save thc Radical faction. On the programmo ot universal negro suffrage, and on Mr. Chase's ultimatum of gold for tba bondholders and national bauk rags for the peop'e, the popular reaction developed in Ohio and New York will sweep, next Korember, tho Cen? tral States and tho Wost as a tire sweeps over the prainos. From tho signs in tho heavens and the earth Massachusetts and Vermont will, perhaps, be left as the only remaining monuments of Radi? calism in the mighty North. The Freedmen tu the Sugar Region. THE PRESENT CONDITION AND PROSPECTS-LTTEH DE MORALIZATION PBEVAILING-CACSES OF TDE CHANGE - DISASTROUS RESULTS TO THE PLANTERS. A correspondent of the Now Orleans Times, wri? ting from near Baton Rouge, La., gives a plain, un? varnished, truthful and impartial statement of thc condition of affaira on tho sugar plantations at thc present time. After stating that he writes from a position peculiarly favorable for just and fair ob? servations and correct conclusions, he proceeds to say : This is one of the largest, best conducted and equipped sugar plantations in the delta of the Mississippi. The proprietor ha8 boon engaged in thc business more than twenty-fire years. In that time ho has managed, by energy, in? dustry and skillful management, to accumu? late a very largo estate-to erect extensive mills and machinery, and all tho necessary buildings; to construct l?veos and canals; to perfect a thorough drainage, and to provide an abundance of stock and eve rubing essential to tho conduct of a large sugar plantation. Thc land is the richs3t on tho continent, high and well situatod, with thousands of acres of the best wood, both for lumber -ind fud Bat ono hundred milos from tho city, there ia ajmosi hourly connection thorcwith, and tho receipt and delivery of supplies arid products is as easy as fror; a store on Tchouphoulas street, to the steam? boat landing. The List crop on this plantation belore the war amounted to 1200 hogsheads ol sugar, 2d00 barrels of molasses, and corn and potatoes enough for the consumption of the plantation. Unlike most of our plantations, the cultivation ot this was not suspended during thc war. The owner was never enticed into tho ru D ouB culturo of cotton on the lowlands. He has stuok to sugar through all changes. His crop fell during the .\ar troubles from 1200 to nbom 1U0 hogsheads, and sine'.' then, by incredible exertions, he has raised the product to ,'luO. and this year he fondly imagined it would exceed that figure, but from present indications baa good reasons to believe that it will not reach that number. And yet he is feeding the s.nno numbei of hands; and has as many men in the field u.s hu had when he raised and shipped the 1200 hogs? heads ol' 1800, and had not to buy un ear of cum. Tnia year he will have to send tu the atv for ul least hail of his corn. The hands uro paid I In? most liberal wages of any agricultural laborers in the world. There is a (,'oocl supply of them. Crowds of ragged, poverty-stricken,' wrotched luoking negroes wander about tue country begging for employment. With the same amount of seed cane and other advantages enjoyed by the proprie? tors of this place, and with a like number of lund* under a good and reliable system of labor, a yield of 800 or a 1000 hogsheads "would bave been a fair product and profit on tho investment ni a planta? tion like this. Why then this great failure'i Why ?s it thal the laud which used to yield easily two"hogsheads to the aero can no? bo made to produce only haifa hogshead ? Why i., it that the cane which used tu be so large, rich and juicy, has shrunk into dry. spindling, short-jointed stalk.-?, the grinding ?ii' which frequently stopa and disarranges the strongest machinery? Alas, there is but one auswor lo this question. Tu appreciate its loree und truthfulness it in univ necessary to go to ;ho quarters of tho uogrous and comparo them with the hearty, butty, indus? trious peoplo, whoa.* merry songs andlanehtoi used tu render our plantations su h cheerful anil happy scones in the olde:: time. A most Morrow fui change has como over this people. Then >i boou ot american citizenship und Republican :iiffiage has proved a verilablo Neseiao shill lu these unhappy victims of partisan solttsbiivtw and ambition, iheir cabins, oucu HO neat ami <-..in lurtable, are now dens ul filth, misery and iljn-.'ugl ing vice. The women, nu longoi working iii' thi held, either because they have boouiuo UM! IU?MHI or because their labjr is not remunerative *u in their cabins, bedecked with some- miserable remuant ot finery, or half clad in Home wretched shoddy clothing, of once bright colors, but now worn 'to transparent shreds. Here thev spend their davs and nights in idleness, filth "and low debauchery. The marriage lie, which, under tin old system the planters found it so much to their interest to encourage and preserve, is utterly disregarded. Family ties and affections appear to be neirly obliterated. There is no longer the largo increase and prolificness which eharactjr i2ed this race under the old syi.tem. On this plan? tation, where there used to be a yearly increase of ton per cent., there luis been born no child which has lived three months, and the young ones who were alive then have since all died off. Instead ol' the hospital and primary which constituted so useful an institution under the old system, tho negroes now claim the right ol' doc orin g them? selves and their children. They buv every wretched nostrum which is hawko'd around bi? s?me Yankee peddler, and give ami take medici nos without the slightest knowledge of their nature or effect. Their medical system partakes of tho grossest superstition. They believe in charms s nd incantations. There is no efficacy in tho medicine itself, but it depends cn God or the devil with whom they imagine there is a fearful conflict over the unfortunate patient. Ia medicine, as m religion and politics, they arc no longer willing to loon to their old masters for instruction. On tho contrary, they distrust every? thing that is said or offere.l to them by their em? ployers, except the money which they get for their labor. Their religion is the most wretched, un? meaning, besotted and demoralizing caricature of Christianity, or rather compound ol' a very low, ignorant and vague idea of Christianity, intermix? ed with soiuo of the grossest features of barbaric idolatry. It is impossible to learn what tho dis? tinctive features ol' their religion arc, but it is very' obvious that truth, honesty, temperance, chastity or virtue, form no part of (heir system, and aro not regarded as obligations thereof. They are never 'aught or inculcatua hy their preachers, their shepherds and shepherdesses, whose howling jargon and shoutings constitute thu only religions teachings to which they will hear? ken. These preachers and shepherds and shepherd? esses are invariably the worst negroes on the plantation-the qualities most needed in them be? ing hypocrisy, cunning, glibness, audacity and loud voices. They have no sort of relish for* white preachers, even though of the Abolition persua? sion. There are few while men so degraded as to be able to suit their notions of religion. All iden.; of the Lord, of an immortal spirit, of virtue, charity, good will, of the rewards of a pious aud honest course of lifo are utterly foreign to or in? comprehensible by them. Tho grossest material? ism pervades not only their relisions but political ideas. And as thc agents of the Freedmen's Bureau, and the emissaries ol' Radicalism on polit? ical questions, address themselves to their mate? rial ideas and interests, their political harangues are listened to, whon their religious teachings are utterly disregarded. The only interest they have in politics, the great tie which binds them to the Radicals, arise from tho constant promises which are made to them by the rascally poetical preach? ers, of a division of the lands of the white proprie? tors, and an eventual allotment, to each one of them of a fully equipped farm. You have no idea of the extent to which this deception has been carried. Nearly every adult necro has his certificate for 160 acres of laud, for which ho has paid some Radical emis.-a ry two dollars and a half. Thoso who aio wdhng or able to pay $5, obtain a staff enveloped in a pa? per United States flag, which at a certain timo will entitle thc holder to stick it into the ground, and to claim all thc ?and within a certain area. It is thus the poer ncgroos aro filchod ouc ol' tlieir wages. The preachers, tho quacks, tho political emissaries and club managers get tho largost share. Next comes whiskey-which claims tho great majority of them as its constant votaries and early victims. Thc prevalence of drunken? ness-of constant tippling-the excessive use of tho vilest compound of alcohol and nicotino-is beyond all imagination. Nogrocs who, under the old system were sober and industrious (generally those of the best class, tho mechanics and head workmen!, have since emancipation become incur ablo drunkards-have been driven from tho planta? tions, and their places arc supplied with white men. With so many drafts on thoir wages, the freedmen have little left to promote their comfort-to pro? cure good comfortable clothing-ta lay bv for a rainy day. Their general destitution leads to a wholesale system of thieving and pilfering, which has produced two roBultf, both very prejudicial to the welfare of this people. They no longer culti? vate patches of corn and vcgetaoles, because tho industrious and thrifty aro preyed upon by thc lazy and thieving, and tho planters lind it moro eco? nomical tu buv corn and potato'. . than to raise them, to bo stolen by the negroes who keep horses and pigs to bo fed out of their masters1 cribs. I have only given you thc outlines of one of the saddest recites of chance, desolation and demoralization which tho history of modern times presenta. ?
