WASHINGTON, February 19.-Mr. Burlingame, Chinese Ambassador to the United States and to tho Powers of Europe, will leave China on the 25th instant, with a suite of thirty persons, to proceed to thc execution ot his mission. J. McLeary Brown, late Chinese Secretary of the British Legation, is first secretary; E. Du c hamps, who accompanied him to Europe last year, is second secretary. Two Chinese officials of the highest rank precede him with tho reti? nue. By imperial decree, Mr. Burlingame is placed at the head of the mission, and has let? ters of credence to each of the treaty powers, signed, for the first time, by the Emperor him? self. The mission is to be permanent, that is, to last during Mr. Burlingame's life. Hie sala? ry is $55,000 a year in gold. Hancock's recent removals are still under consideration at General Grant's headquarters. Thad. ?Stevens opposes special legislation for the admission of Alabama. He says that if anything of the sort is necessary there might as well be a wholesale letting in of all tho ?Southern States at once. The Alabama Republican committee are on the floor r f the HOUBO to-day, urging tho ad? mission of that State. Gen. O. L. Shepherd, Colonel of the 15th in- : fan try, is ordered to take command ol the sub? district of Alabama. t D?ring the discussion in the United States ' Senate, in the case of Senator Thomas, Gen- i eral Lee was referred to as follows : ; Mr. I Cameron said that he was informed, by a gen- < tleman in whom he placed confidence, that < General Lee, having received an intimation i that he might have command of the Federal ' army, had assured him of his entire loyalty < and devotion to the country. Cameron then 1 consulted General Scott, who a^roved of { placing Lee at the head of the anny, and the : place wa3 offered to Lee officially, with the < approbation of General Scott; but Lee went to ' Virginia on a false pretense of B9eing his fami- * ly, and never came back. Cameron added 1 that he would have arrested Lee if he had had ! a chance, but never expected that he would - act perfidiously. Mr. Johnson doubted thc truth of this very much. (Laughter). Gentleraen might laugh, t but be would inform the gentleman who in- ' dui ged in merriment (Mr. Conness), that Leo v was as honorable a man as any man to be found in California. CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

HE CONVENTION. CONVENTION HELD BY AUTHORITY OF THE RECONSTRUCTION LAWS OF CONGRESS, TO FRAME A STATE CONSTITUTION FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. The proceedings yesterday were intensely airy-that is to say, the pulmonary apparatus had free phy, and perf jrmed unceasingly. It would not be fair to state that the speeches (vere "full of sound and fury, signifying noth? ing," for thu debate at times exhibited the best powers of tho several speakers. Much, how? ever, was naid for buncombe. The nominating :aucuses are in full blast; everybody ia expect ng an office, and everybody naturally desires :o in-crt his finger in the political pudding and Iraw therefrom a very large plum. In doing ;his a speech is always necessary, and many illowances must be made tor the inexperienced ispirauts. Thero is said to bo no manner of loubt that J. M. Rutland will soon bo the Bena? ir elect, and his speech yesterday in opposi? on to tho very decided majority on the home itead question, shows the metal of which his ?eavy artillery is composed. It hi evident that ie donl't belong to the crowd who tako to 'oonib-proois." About eighty sections of tho new constitu- i iou have thus far boen adopted. The conven- 1 ion cannot' probably get througb with tSo?r7 ? rork in less than two weeks. _ i PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. j THIRTIETH DAY. Tho convention assembled at half-past ten /clock. Prayer by Rev. B. F. Whittcniore. F. J. Moses, Jr., from tho Committee on tho Executive, reported certain amendments to the ! .'onstitution reforring to the Governor and Ljeutenaut-Governor. W. E. Rose, from tho Committoo on Peti ,iont), reported tho action of that committee on ;he subject of tho memorial from Georgia re- I :ommending an application to Congress for i loan of thirty million dollars. The coinmit :ee recommend that the memorial be laid on :1R' table. Agreed to. B. F. Randolph, from the Committee ou Miscellaneous Affairs, introduced the following jrdinance, which was preparod and submitted by Joseph Crews (white), of Laurens. Be it ordained, dre, That it shall be the duty of the legi&latuic, at its first session hereafter, to appoint commissioners t > investigate and ascei tain what obligations of the State ore en? titled lo be held as valid and binding upon tho State, in conformity to the provisions of this constitution, and the ordinances adopted by tins convention, and to report thereon to the legislature; and until the legislature shall have ascertained the validity ol such obligations, no payment of either principal or interest shall be made on any outatajding obligation created and incurred prior to April 29, 1865. The ordinance received its first roading, was ordered to be printed, and was made the spe? cial order tor Wednesday next at 12 AL Tho convention resumed tho cotiMideration nf tho unfinished business, which was section 35, providing a homestead, ?fcc. Mr. B. F. Whittemore adilressod the body at length. Ho contended first that in its prosent shape the soction was retrospective in its char? acter, and that, beiug retrospective and an tx post facto law, it was unconstitutional. Second? ly, that creditors were cntitlod to as much pro? tection from ibo convention as debtors, and that no ono had either a moral or legal right to step between tho debtor aud creditor and divorce them from their just claims and liabili? ties. For one, he felt as keenly as any member upon tho door for tho distressed and unfortu? nate; he sympathized with tho debtor in his straightened circumstances, and desired to afford every possible means of relief consist? ent with law; nut tho creditor, as a momber of tho community, likewise had claimB which demanded consideration and regard. Person? ally he had been instrumental in aiding mauv of "the planters and factors ot tho State. Thc capital which ho invited hither had boen fur? nished with the confident hope that it would be repaid, and he ct uld furnish letters from the best citizens of the State to show that not? withstanding their temporary misfortune, they did not desire tho convention to oblitorato the honest claims against them. Tho honor of the old Commonwealth, notwithstanding her re? verses, waa not dead yet; and, while he had tho power or influeiico to resist that which tended to throw a blight upon that honor, ho would employ it upon all proper occasions. Too much fooling had boen brought into tho consideration ot this subject; too many ap? peals had been made to feelings and to preju? dices. It was a question only for tho oxerciso of reason, judgment and justice. Measured by theso, the retroactivo law proposed was clearly unconstitutional, illegal, and unjust. W. G. Whipper spoke strongly in favor of tho section as it stood, opposing all change. They were there to legislate for tho people; a large proportion ot that people wi-ro in distress ; they demanded relier ; and the best relief that could be afforded was t.iat which eecurod to them a home? stead which the creditor could not touch, gave to them a fresh sturt in lif and prevenl ed tho homes of the Stale from passing iuto the hands of cormorants and speculators. \V. J. McKinlay, of Orangeburg, spoke in op position to tho section on tho ground of its re? trospective character, but said ho was in tavoi of its general spirit as a measure of relief. Until changed, he "could no: vota for that which ignored the obligations of a large class of thc community, and at ono stroke wiped out so much of the honestly incurred Indebtedness of tho country at the expense of tho cre? ditor. R. B. Elliott (colored), of Barnwell, offered an aniendmont, so that tho 10th lino of the section would read, "It shall bc the duty of the first legislature that assembles after the ratifi? cation of this constitution, at its first session, to pass such laws as may be necessary? to carry this provision into effetfC.* B. F. Raud?lph took th floor in defence of the section without amendment, and spoke long and well. He was followed by Simeon Corley. of Lex? ington, who has only to pour a page or twr. of Webster's Unabridged into a sausage machine, turn thc crank, and forthwith there rolls out a stream of.manuscript, which he cuts off to suit his subject and hearers. Ho read his epistola? ry manufacture as usual yesterday, but it is so difficult to tell which side his apparatus favor? ed, that, from fear of doing injustice to tho delegate from Lexington, we refrain from com? mitting him to the tender m freies of his con? stituents. When we left the hall temporarily he was on a very tall fence. .F. J. Moses, Jr., made the grand speech of the day. Taking the broad ground that this was a poor man's measure; that the circum? stances of thc hour dem and jd it; that it was not retrospective in action; that if so, it was nevertheless legitimate, viewed by tho light of precedents and example; that its results would be beneficial to all tho people of tho State; and, finally, that it would undoubtedly en? sure the certain ratification of the constitution. He held the convention for nearly three quarters of an hour deeply interested* in uvery word that foll from his lips. It was tho ablest speech made on that side of the subject ; it was made with feeliug, and made with a purpose; it told. A synopsis would scarcoly do the speaker or his subject justice. R. TJ. Elliott (colored), moved tho previous question, and the main question was ordered. J. M. Rutland, as chairman of the Legisla? tive Committee, was permitted, under thc rules, to speak fifteen minutes, and he used the opportunity well. Ho planted himself upon broad constitutional grounds, that the proposod retrospective action was all wrong, and tho courts would so declare it. Appeals to feeling would do very well in their place, but upon such an important themo as this, involv? ing so much material interest, so many moral obligations, so much of thc honor of men and tho honor of tho State, something moro than passion should be invoked to decido the ques? tion. The importance of a Homestead la.i was undeniable, and he would go as far as any? body in securing one whoso effect would bo prospective; but come what might, whether weal or woo to himsolf, it should not go forth to tho country that as c. lawyer ?ind a man he had not done battlo with uti hu power in be? half ol' what he deemed right, just and true. '1 ho question then recurred on the several amendments, all of which were voted down ex? cept i he ono offered by Ellioll. as above, which was adopted. Tho thirty-fifth section then passed to its third reading by a vote of-yeas 102; nays 4. Thoto voting in tho negative are J. H. Jouks (white), Y. J. P. Owens (white), Charles M. Wilder (colored), and B. F. Whittetnoro (white). Before voting Mr. Whitemore assigned the following reasons: I vote "no" because the section is proclaimed to be retrospective, and because I cannot support any project that would commit a violation of tho constitution of my country. But I am in favor of a just Homestead act. C. M. Wilder gave similar reasons hofore an? nouncing his vote. The following is tho list of absentees, and all tho remaining members of tho convention voted "aye'1: Arni aa, Bonum, Chamberlin, Chestnut, Don? aldson. Humbird, Jackson, Jillson, Henry Jones, George Loo, Noaglc, Perry, Shrewsbury, Francis E. Wil er. The convention then adjourned. THINGS IN WASHINGTON. GENEB.lL SHERMAN ri BEFU8AL OF PROMOTION-A NEW CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT-POLITICAL ITEMS. Tho Washington correspondent of tho Balli? more Sun writes, under date of February IC: The action of General Sherman in refusing to accept the brevet generalship, and his indispo? sition to take command of tho newly created Dupari nient of tho Atlantic, docs not surprise these who know his indisposition to bo mixed up in political entanglements, and whatever scruplns be may have had on tho subject are said to have been i net eased by tho remonstran? ces sent to him from hore by his brother anil jthar Senators. It is given out from ' 'mt certain promi? nent gentlemen whe ."ure^ in the Philadelphia Conservative Convention of 18oii, contemplate forming a now conservative party. Mr. Thur? low Waed appears to bo the engineer of tho movement, and ono of its objects is to protect the Seward and Weed interest in Now York. Jt might bo added, however, that some of tuc Iq&S ing spirits of tho Philadelphia Couventiou, such as Messrs. Doolittle, Cowan, Dixon and others, have long ago tokon decided positions with the Democratic conservative party. Private telegrams have been received by Radi al congressmen to-day, urging them not to give up tho Alabama constitution. If tho most gigantic fraud can avail to fasten that in? iquitous instrument on tito people of Alabama, it will certainly bo resorted to. 'lhere is a newspaper statement allott tint Adjutant-General Thomas will soon bo placed upon the retired list ol' army officers. Tho law provides that officers having been in the ser? vice a certain number of years may he retired. The act is not mandatory, but leaves tho mat? ter at the discr?tion of the Executive, who, ?hero is reason tor saying, does not contem? plate retiring General Thomas. The next state dinner at thu White Houso takes place on Friday of this week. Tho in? vited guests aro all of thc loreign diplomatic corps. It is expected that nearly, or quite all of the remaining vacant foreign missions will nc dis? posed of by nomination this week, and among thom the mission to England, to which tlu ro seems to bo no doubt ot' General McClellan's assignment. THE SHEEMAN NOMINATION AND ORDER-HOW IT WAS BHOUOHT ABOUT-HU MUKKI) CORRUPT PRACTICES BY CERTAIN MILITARY OFFICIALS. The Washington correspondent of thc Bal? timore Gazette, writing on thc ICth mutant, says: As great surprise has been expressed ot tho action of President Johnson in nominating Sherman as brovet general without first, ascer? taining his feelings on thc subject, and much curiosity exhibited to learn what tho put poso " ot tho President was, it can be stated, upon reliable authority, that Mr. Johnson did not consider it necessary, saying nothing ot ila indelicacy, to name to Gonernl Sherman in ad? vance and consult him in relation to a nomina? tion designed solely as a compliment to thc General for his militai y services. It can aiso bo said thal thc propriety of con? sulting tho General, both as to his noni ?nation as brevet general and as to thc order detailing him to tho command of tho now Department of tho Atlantic, was suggested to tho Presi? dent by a distinguished gentleman now in this city, who is a near relative ol General Sher? man. Mr. Johnson replied t>> tho suggestion, that so far as tho compliment intended for General Sherman is concerned, it should bc bestowed voluntarily and without his knowl? edge; it being one which ho could not possibly object, and ono which every tino soldier must appreciate. As to Ins being ordered to tho command of thc Dc lartmcnt of tho Atlantic, or any other department, it was enough for him to know that Genend Sherman was a pa? triot, and ready lo servo his country ?ti any of? ficial position to which ho might bo assigned. It is believed this was thc only conference held by the President with any one on the subject of thc nomination or the ordor.and no ono has been moro surprised than -M r. Johnson himself at tho manner in which General Sherman is reported to have received the news, and thc President expresses thc apprehension that some one has communicated to General Sherman state? ments which may have created false impres? sions which will, no doubt, be dissipated when all the facts como to bo known. There arc ru? mors afloat to-nipht that documents are in ex? istence in this city which will soon be made public, estublishine conclusively the corrup? tions of certain late militan- officials who were connected with thu operations of thc amy in the Southwest daring tho rebellion. Among these documents .'ire vouchers signed in tripli? cate for cotton delivered by thc Confederate Government to these military officials during and prior to tho siege of Vicksburg. With funds thus procured, military supplies were purchased by thc Confederate commander of a Federal officer, with whom he held regular meetings on the borders of Lake Ponchartrain. A singlo invoice of theso supplies amounted to three hundred and sixty thousand dollars, thc officers through whom "thc negotiations were made using thc euphonious name of Smith. THE SECOND FAILURE OF IMPEACHMENT/, AND HOW IT WAS BROUOHT ABOUT. The New Yoik Herald's Washington dispatch of the 15th instant says : The desperation of the Radical leaders over the untimely end which has "diaracterizod their boasted second impeachment movement is onlv equalled by the reactionary effect which then failure has had uion the minda of less enthu? siastic supporters of the execution of such an extraordinary and unnecessrry measure of par? tisan animosity. Old Thad. Stevens is in a par? ticularly indignant state of mind, and frames maledictions of novel and forcible diction to convey bis views upon his defeat, lhe old man is the more chagrined as he set out in the frail hope of consomms tin? the revolutionary scheme, and in that view had the disposition of tho correspondence between the President and General Grant as well aB the voluminous impeachment testimony of the Judiciary Com? mittee referred to the Committee on Recon? struction, of which he is chairman. The cham? pion considered by such a reference the case was sure, and in this view he was seconded by tho Republicans generally, who voted tor tho measure in thc first instance Those Repub licons who voted no in that case looked with some anxiety upon Stevens'determination, as the question, in tho event of reaching the House, it was feared, would then come in such a shape that to vote against it under the lash of old Thad's authority would be almost equi? valent tl voting for it, in the estimation of their constituents. To this class the failure of tho scheme is a subject of no small relief and self-congratulation. The secret of the second failure, it is said, lies in tho action of Mr. Bingham. This gen? tleman, one of thc ablest Radicals of the House, for some time has manifested frequent inclina? tion to tho conservative view on many ques? tions. In tho beginning of the late affair, Bingham was evidently in favor of the impeach? ment. The solution * of tho whole question rested entirely with the part Grant would take in tho matter. In consideration of tho lively character of tho correspondence between the President aiid General Grant, it was expected that tho latter would bo found in the right frame of mind to furnish tho impeachers with any amount of satisfactory evidence out of which to work up a case. The last lotter of tho President, however, appears to have dis? concerted tho minds and expectations of the opposition. Upon putting heads together it was discovered that Grant was not the pliant tool they looked ror, and was unwilling to sub? mit to play tho part laid out for h:m. This re? buff wa? not expected, and the General was accused of timidity and other failings equally uncomplimentary, by which the disappointed Radicals vented their bittornees upon his de? voted head. This naturally made matters worse, and created considerable sensation among the few perBons who were expected to manage tho whole affair, air. Bingham getting wind of thia difficulty in the way, became him? self less inspired with the ju?tice of the course about to bo pursued, and tacked accordingly. The chango of base on the part of AJr. Bing? ham carried with it a similar inclination on tho part of the remainder of the Republicans on tho committee, except those who continued faithlul to tho last. Mr. Bingham's motion, in committee, to lay on the table the report which Thail. and his coadjutors had most carefully and diligently prepared, was a fatal blow, and put an cud, by ono foll stroke, to tho delight? ful anticipations of Thad, and his supporter*. It is considered fortunato by the moderato Re? publicans not of tho committee, that the move? ment was thus nipped in tho bud. RADICAL VISITORS TO SECRETARY STANTON. Tho Senate not being in sossion to-day, a good many members of that body and several from tho House ot Representatives called upon Secretary Stanton and bad various conversa? tions with him. For some timo tho Secretary was seated in a corner of the anto-room next to his private office, smoking a long bnor root pipo aud looking unusually contented. Ben. Wade, wearing his customary irascible expres? sion, shuffled in about noon and inquired what was the new?. Nothing particular was vouch? safed to him, so old Ben. offered his share, which was put in a congratulatory form and related to thc passage of the act yesterday to supply vacancies temporarily in the Executive Department. "Just the thing that was wanted," remarked Stanton. "Yes," replied Ben., ' ho (meaning the President) will have no six months' occupation for his ..ebel appointments ni future. Tho ten days tho Senate allowed him was too long, in ray opinion. He is able to do moro mischief in a shorter timo than any other mau in thc country." "His capacity for that," re ilied Stanton, "is moro than equal to his means." Hero Senators Ramsay and Pome? roy entered and tho usual congratulations were oxto i dod. Tho sarao fact was mentioned lu Stanton that Bon. Wade so kindly furnished in advance; but it was acceptable nows in the quarter to which it was directed, and a due ap? preciation was dignified. Stanton is evidently nand and glovo with his Radical friends in Congress. ruc Revolution In Japan. .IZUIIE OF THE MIKADO-INTEBESTINQ DE? TAILS-THE NEW PORTS OSAKA AND HIAOO. Tho following more detailed account of tho revolution jn Japan comes by telegraph from Sun Francisco under date ot February lfi: Advices from Yokohoma, of January 25th, state that a revolution had broken out in con? sequence of tho opening of tho new ports. The young Mikado was seized by Ibo principal princes ol tho empire, Satsumaand-.The ute ShoROOii had fled from Rioto, tho eapital, and shut himself in the castle at Osaka, under the protection of the dcut of the allies. A dis? tinct and solemn assurance had been mado by (bc ministers of tho treaty powers that they would not in any way interfere in tho struggle'. Thc Shagoon was collecting forces. Tho cou fedora'cu Damios proposed i othing, and thc foreign minis.ci? wore unlikely to ttko any steps until af .T thu assembling bf thc nobility ot thu Lin ire in council. Meanwhile thc country was without a recognized head. ibo disturbances at Ye ldo wero serious. The palace and chief enclosure of tho Shagoon's cutio and residence of tho ladies ot Ins court were burned on tho loth inst. Tho palace is said to have boen destroyed by Satsuma's poo plo whilo attempting to rescue a aisier of this prince's wife. Two days after, Satauma's chief palace at Teddo was attackod and destroyed by thu Shagoon's troops, with considerable other of his property. The Shagoon disavows any quarrel with Satsuma, but declares that he only wished to dislodge a band of robbers located in the places destroyed. It is reported officially that one hundred and forty robbers were killed and ono huntlrod and sixty wound? ed. The government loss was between titty and sixtv lulled and woundod. Tho survivors mado their .ray to a small sicamor, belonging to Satsuma, and steamed out of the harbor, followed by a war vessel of the Shagoon, which got the worst in a tight. Satsuuia'B steamer escaped. Tho new ports Osaka and Hiago wero for? mally proclaimed open on tho 1st instant. There was no trade worth mentioning. The condition of tho first Bettlers was unpleasant. The houses wero of au inferior description; scarce aud dear. Provisions commanded ex? orbitant prices. Tho main settlement had been placed at Kino, a miserable fishing vil? lage two miles from JJiago. General opinion censures Hie ministers lor selecting a site so inferior in every respect. CLAIMS AGAINST CONFEDERATE AGENTS.-It is understood that the Unitod States authori? ties arc making rapid progress in getting claim? against thoso Confederate agents abroad who disbursed funds sent them from Richmond during tho war into the proper shape for pre? sentation before tho foreign courts. In Franco .-oino of these claims havo already been argued, and property amounting to somo seven mil? lions has been attached. Thc government holds that these persons sending public moneys abroad were subjects of tho United Stales, and that they could convey no titlo with tho ships ur other public property of thc Confederacy sold. Tho amount of the claims against Mc Rao has been approximately ascertained tobe twelve militons. In addition, it bas been prov? ed thal he sold to various partios sonic twenty six ships, tho present owners of which aro known, and it is understood that tho proper proceedings to recover Hiern will soon bo in? tituled. - Wat>httig'on Express. RAT ON A Srn.EE.-Thursday morning, as a clerk in a Syracuse ding store entered tho liquor cellar for thc purpose of drawing somo liquor, he discovered a large rat standing on his hind legs, drinking whiskey as it dropped from tho fan?t, that "had not btfan properly closed. As he neared thc rat, he made a very awkward effort to escape, but ho reeled and staggered like a drunken man. Tho clerk, pleased with the comical predicament of the unfortunate '.animal" allowed him, after seve? ral zigzag movements, to enter his hole. -A Corrib!1 earthquake has occurred at For? mosa. Three thousand persons are said to have perished. THE ACTRESS AND THE COTTON TBADE.-A Montgomery, Ala.; correspondent of the Cin? cinnati Commercial writes under date o? the 10th inst., aa follows : "Anything in the shape of a personal budget from Montgomery would be sadly incompleto without mention of Miss Charlotte Thompson, tho actress. Miss Thomp? son owns a plantation five miles from town, where she spends her time with lier mother, when not on professional tours. She has about ono thousand five hundred acres, two-thirds of which oro devoted to the cultivation of cotton. She has the reputation of being a remarkably capable woman in business affairs, though with all her tact and executive talont, sho has made nothing from her crops during the past two years.
