[PER ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.] LONDON, Jone 9.-It is asserted, on the au? thority of Le Nord, that the opinion widely prevails in Paris that a war will break oat in Europe before the close of next autumn. Prince Napoleon has arrived in Vienna from Baden, and was received by the Emperor Fran? cis Joseph, with whom he held a close consul? tation. The object of. his mission is not known. Bismarck urges the adoption by the nations of Europe and America of an international system for the measurement of tonnage and the capacity of shipping. The North German Confederation is prepared to open negotiations with foreign Powers on the subject. The Emperor of Rna Bia has issued a ukase setting free all persons of foreign birth now exiled to Siberia, and all natives of Russian Poland sentenced to less than twenty years' exile. The Russian victory of the 2d of May and the capture of Bokhara are confirmed, but the death of the Emir lacks confirmation. The Russians have taken, and held at last accounts, the city of Samarieaid. The Pope has sent an agent to the United States to enlist troops for the Papal army. General Napier hoped to reach the Red Sea, at Zo ulla, on the 1st of June. The. English Abyssinian captives had arrived at Suez, Egypt, homeward bound. 7 BRUSSELS, June 9.-The recent riotous demonstrations in Luxemcw~g in favor of France were promptly suppressed and the leaders arrested.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Woolley yielded and answered the questions of the Corruption Com? mittee to-day. His statement is given on the ground that Shooks- evidence relieved him from the confidence involved by profession pl relations. It shows that Woolley was here to influence the Ways, and Means Committee on ^.the whiskey tax in Shooks' interest. Woolie y's proceedings in this respect are not fully stated, but no corrupt operations are shown. Seven teen thousand one hundred dollars of the j missing money are, and have been, in the safe of the Metropolitan Hotel. It appears, from affidavits, that Woolley, Shooks and others were at the Metropolitan Hotel, talking politics and proposing bets. Woolley threw the money on the table, requesting Snooks to hold it, and Woolley left the room. Shooks took no notice of Woolley's remarks or the money. Van Val kenburg, regarding neither Woolley nor Shooks in a proper condition to nave charge of so large a sum, took the money and deposited it with bis own valuables' in the Bate of the Metropoli? tan Hotel. Tbe parties separated, and had no communication during several days, in which time the discordant evidence of Woolley and Shooks was taken. The whole affair amounts to nothing. The Bbuisville Bsard of Trade asked a re? duction of the whiskey tax to fifty cents. The consideration of the Omnibus Admission bill was resumed, and Alibaina was added to the bill by .a vote of 22 to 21. A motion to strike out the provisions nullifying the Georgia relief clause was discussed au day, and the | argument took a wide range. It was claimed that without this clausa the Georgia constitu? tion would have been defeated, and Congress would defeat the will of the people by nullify? ing it. Others argued that aside from its un constitutionality, it wasr the first step toward the repudiation of the national debt.. The i argument indicated that the Senate will un? doubtedly persist in multiplying the relief clause. Without a vote the Senate went into executive session and adjourned. . The follQwing is the bul passed in the House to-day: Be it enacted, ?tc, That the Legislature of each of the States of Arkansas, North Caro? lina, South Qarohna, Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama, elected under the constitution there? of, framed trod" "adopted in pursuance with the provisions of in act for the more efficient gov? ernment of the rebel States, passed March 2, 1867, and the acts .supplementary thereto, be and are hereby authorized to meet on such days as may nave been fixed, either by such constitution or by proclamation of any officer authorized to convene eaid Legislature by the -convention which framed- such constitution, -and if no day shall have been fixed as afore? said, or if the day so fixed for the meeting of the L?gislature bf either of said States shall have passed, or shall have so nearly arrived before the passage of this act, that, in the opinion of the Governor elect, there might not be time for the Legislature to assemple on the day so fixed, such Legislators may bf con? vened within thirty days after the passage of this act by the Governor of said State. Section 2. That whenever either of said States shall be admit tel to representation in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of such State, duly elected ana qualified under the constitution thereof, may be inaugurated without delay, and the government of such State shall thereafter be transferred to the civil authorities thereof. Section 8. That it shall be the duty of all civil and military officers, exercising authority in either of said States, to afford all practical , aid and protection to the officers of such State 1 in carrying out the provisions of this act, and ! i any such officer who shall wilfully withhold such aid and protection, or shall wilfully pr event, hinder or delay the meeting of either of said Legislatures, ' or the inauguration of any of said State officers, or if any or either of said State authorities shall be guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof, before any Federal or State Court of criminal jurisdiction, shall be punished by im? prisonment not exceeding- ten years, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars, at the discretion of the court. Woolley is still confined awaiting Butler's convenience. The proprietor of the Metropoli? tan Hotel had Woolley's seventeen thousand one hundred dollars in the committee room. Butler counted it. Municipal affairs are s'atu quo. PBOOEEDTNOB OF CONGRESS. IN THE HOUSE, the Chinese reception attracted an immense crowd. The usual pro? ceedings occurred. Beaman reported a bill from the Reconstruc? tion Committee dividing Texas into three States, which was ordered to be printed. The bill inaugurating the Southern State officers was read, and pissed by a vote of one hundred and fifteen to thirty-one. A bill was reported for the construction of a railroacTand telegraph from Mobile to New Or? leans. The Tax bili was resumed and continued to the hour of adjournment. IN THE SENATE, Mrs. Eliza Potter, of Charles-? ton, S. C., petitioned for the reimbursement of $40,000 expended for the support of the-Union prisoners by herself and family during the war. It was referred to the Committee on Claim?. Tlie Louisiana Muddle. NEW ORLEANS, June9.-The Republican, in its idime of to-morrow, will contain a procla? mation by the Convention Registration Board, asserting its authority as paramount to that of the Commanding General. It charges that the latter bas transcended bis prerogatives in pro? mulgating the election of State, Parish and Municipal officers, and in naming eaid officers, and directing them to qualify and take posees sion of their offices; in assuming power to convene the General Assembly; in assuming power of appointing persons to fill offices where the persons selected cannot qualify, and by re? fusing to send the election returns to this Board; and concludes by notifying all per? sons whom General Buchanan's order haB declared elected, that the Constitution of Louisiana, meaning the constitution adopt? ed by the late convention, requiring them to qualify and enter upon their offices as set forth in the former proclamation; and that any orders from any source directing the contrary are illegal and not binding, and that parties so attempting to take office will lay themselves hable to action at law by the parties ejected, as well as risk the certainty of their removal from office. General Grant's interferenc? with and sus? pension of General Buchanan's action in the election matter has led to this open defiance and contempt of the authority of the Command? ing General. bots of the Steamship Nerada. NEWBEB?T, (N. C.) June 9.-The steamer Terry from New York, arrived here to-day, re? ports the steamship Nevada of the New York and Mexican line, which left New Tork on the 3d instant, went ashore at Hatteras on Friday and sunk on Saturday in t?n fathoms of water. The passengers and crew were saved except one of the latter, who was lost in an attempt to get out an anchor. The passengers lost most of their baggage, and the vessel and cargo were totally lost. Two of the lady pas? sengers have gone to Norfolk in a steamer. The rest of the passengers and the Captain of the steamer will be here to-night. CaHleot & Co. in Jug.

Colonel Alfred Shat: Sm-Mr. Harlebton has done me the honor to deliver your note of this date, in which you object to "the tone, temper and language which characterize" an article which appeared in THE DAILY NEWS of this morning. To yourself, as an individual, there is no re- i terence whatever in that article, and I may add, that I have never regarded you as one of the editors of the Mercury. The article is simply the comment of THE NEWS, upon the conree of the Mercury, whether well or ill founded it is for impartial persons to determine; and having neither impugned the motives nor reflected upon the actions of indi? viduals, I cannot acknowledge that the article devolves upon the editors of THE NEWS any personal responsibility. 7ery respectfully, Your obedient servant, F.

Dawson: Sra-Your note of the 3d of June, in reply to mine of the same date, has been received. - IQ regard to the position which you take in relation to myself personally, viz: that you never regarded me as one of the editors of the Mercury, it is sufficient to say that my con? nection with that paper, as one of its conduc? tors, entitled me to make the iaquiry which I addressed to you. To thc question propounded to you yester? day, I regret to say that lam unable to regard your note as a reply, lt was not charged that you had "innujued the motives nor reflected upon the actions ot individu?is ;' out the oo jection was expressly stated to be the tone, temper and language which characterized the article referred to, and my note contained a simple inquiry, whether it was intended to be offensive. The editorial of THE NEWS was in reply to a statement in the Mercury as to its condition,, without any reference to THE NEWS or any other paper, and it was in an answer to an arti? cle such as this that you thought proper to in? dulge in a strain of ridicule, sarcasm and gen? eral disparagement of thc conduct of that paper, lt is unnecessary to specify the partic? ular passages in which ?xik appear?, as very few could be selected in which it ie not sonspicuously prominent, and therein consists the offensiveness complained of. Having thus directed your attention to the particular point in question, I would respect? fully add that I am under the necessity ol re? seating the inquiry containeu in my note of 3d nstant, whether the article was intended to be )ffeHsive.

My objection is one of principle, for I can? not admit the right of yourself, or any indi- "j ridual, to hold me personally accountable for "the tone, temper and language*' of an article of THE NEWS which is not personally defama tory or abusive. To do so would, in my opin? ion, ba to compromise that independence and freedom of the press which I, in common with my associates in tbe management of THE NEWS, am determined to maintain. As the tendency of your demanda cannot well be misunderstood, it is proper for me to say now that, being a member of the Catholic Church, I cannot, under any circumstances, en? gage in a duel.

Is is with gratification that we are enabled to announce to our readers and many friends a largely increased extension ot our subscription lists this year. Without bavins lost subscrib? ers anywhere (except in a very few cases ot pecuniary reed), we have ste.idify advanced in the number of our issue. We have now no hesitation in saying that wc have tho^argest number nf permanont annual and semi-annual subscribers of unj journal in South Carolina. Our subscription lift is ft solid, fixed, bona fie circulation that can be relied on, aud does not fluctuate or go back. In epite of the terrible disasters of the past season amongst our friends-the planters-they have still found means to retain the Mercury amidst the wreck of their fortunes and the pressing personal wants that invest them. Their sturdy fidelity in all issueB has ever been powerful in mould? ing the actions and general thought of the State. They havo ever adorned its history, from the days of Rutledge and Marion to those of Calhoun and Hampton. Their support of the Mercury has always been warm, and is now equally cordial. Within the city, our subscription list has steadily advanced* in numbers. To intelligent business men, whether merchants, lawyers or tradesmen, it is all important, not merely that news should be given, but that an intelligent analysis of the momentous events now daily transpiring should be placed before them. For by these not only are the general interests of the country peculiarly and materially af? fected, but their direct operation upon busi? ness of every sort, in the present and in pros? pect, is of tue last importance. It is a very silly, contracted and shortsighted view of business to suppose that it can be disconnected from the great events that rock the foundation upon which the country itself and all within it stands, or can be unmoved amid the storms ot commotion, violence and change, which threaten every interest and effect every trans? action. The Charleston Mercury from the time of its erection, has always under the influence of the great minds of this State been pre-eminently the practical daily expounder of the great ideas which have governed and directed the course of this State and of all the Southern States. Prior to the war, in the hands of its present editors, we believe that it maintained its influ? ence, and did not lose its prestige. Its circu? lation from Carolina to Wisconsin and Texas, was wider and larger than that of any paper south of Richmond and east of New Orleans. Since the closff*?f the war, and the reopen? ing of the Mercury, we have under all issues leut our strenuous efforts to sustain the State against false advisers at home and reckless violence and illegal legislation from abroad. Many months back, when the South was rocking m doubt and groping in blind darkness, with mu >.h of the press and many of our public men urging the State to come for? ward with her own voice and make legitimately her own tho mongrel bastard of Northern fa? naticism and negro miscegenation, we urged and implored the people of the State to be silent. When others advised them to stretch out their own bands and to affix the Beal of their own doom to eternal degradation and ir? reclaimable ruin, we begged them, with evexy argument that tune has sustained, to be still, and not to touch the foul thing. Foremost, we advised the very policy by which the negro con? stitution of Alabama was defeated, and (hid our advice been followed in this State) by which the menagerie at the Club House might never have been collected together. We found public opinion in tho State and in the South confused and despondent. We tried to blaze out the path of duty and safety. We found the constitution ignored throughout the the land. We tried to hft it up and again give it respect and vitality. Amidst the despair of friends, and the scoffs of mercenary penny-a liners, we steadily appealed to its grand au? thority, until the North rose up gradually to the solemn conviction that if the constitution was lost all was lost. Steadily the Radicals fell away. Steadily their Congress has been forced into more and more lawlessness in the effort to carry out their scheme of subversion and Africanization. Steadily the policy of the Mercury on all the great national issues has been daily more and more clearly vin? dicated, and its judgment sustained, until at this day the whole Democratic and Conserva? tive party of the North stands fixed aud reso? lute upon the identical platform announced by the Charleston Mercury firteeu mouths ago And to-day the South is nearer to her redemp rion than* at any period since the battle ot Boon>?gville. Deeper and deeper with each effort is sinking in the slough of lawless violence and revolution the manv-headed monster of Black Republicanism, whilst from the dust and clouds of war is rising up, with more and more clear ness and power, the intelligence of the North, for the salvation of their endangered interests and liberties. w [From the Daijy Sews of Wednesday, June 3.1 In the Name of the Prophet-Br.ig ! The Mercury is very funny and does not know it. Now it takes to task one of its modest contemporaries for describing, with native simplicity, the brilliancy of its fortunes or tho fruits of its own "unaided enterprise,"-now it hurls its paralytic thunderbolts at all who dare to deny that the World is great and the Mercury is its prophet. It fumes, and frets, and ruffles its feathers in a very "dem d moist, unpleasant" way, and when it has lectured its rivals sufficiently upon the duty of being dumb to their own glory, bursts out with a COCK-A DOODLE-DOO which would put the Herald to shame and bring a sigh of envy to the lips of the virtuous Forney. Tho Mercury crows lustily, and its brag is unlimited. It brags of the fact that it has lost no subscribers except those who were hard up, and it might be a very good thing for our ?ocular neighbor if it would strike from its roils all its subscribers who cannot pay. It brags that the Mercury has been retained amidst the wrsck of fallen for? tunes, and leads one to the inference that ruin and the Mercury are in some sort synonymous, l: brags of the" Ruth dges and Hamptons, and throws up its hat for thc idol of their heart the Mercury. It brags of its city subscription, and suggests that politics is busme- i . i is own business is politics. It brags wit., i ^liable drollery of the great minds which have influ? enced it, and boasts with queer diffidence that in the hands of its present editors it maintain? ed its influence and did not lose its prestige. It launches out into a recapitulation of its own doughty achievements, and hints that if thc State hath hearkened to its counsel thc Club House Convention would never have been held. It alludes to its appeals to the constitution, and finally-with a great flipping of wings crows that the policy of the Mercury has been adopted bv the whole country, and that the whole of the United States are, iii fact, no? thing more thau the tin kettle which clatters at thc heels of the Mercury, as it runs up and down every lane and alley of the great "Has been." All this is a good joke, but we submit to our contemporary that this warm weather is hardly a flt time to kill one with laughter. Of course, it is admitted that the Mercury is a very decent average newspaper, but when it leaps at one bound into the heavens of biggest circulation, it must expect to be taken at its word and chal? lenged to thc proof. T?ie Mercury says : "We have now no hesitation in saying that wo have tho larg? est uumber of permanent annual and semi? annual subscribers of any journal in South Carolina." This is very "fogey. What does it mean ? Does it mean that the Mercury has a larger daily circulation than any other paper in South Caroliua? If so, il had batter not try to count chips with THE CHABLESTON DAIL? NEWS. Again : what does it mean by a bona (ide circulation ? THE NEWS understands a oona fide circulation to be-THE NU3IBER OF COPIES ISSUED DAILY FOB CASH, OB TO SUB S CE IBERS WHO HAVE PAID IN ADVANCE, accord? ing to the published terms of the charleston newspapers, if this be the wav our funny neighbor understands it, THE NEWS denies that t:<e Mercury has the largest daily bona tide circulation, and is ready at any time for a show of hands. ISIPOBTANT ABBES rs.-Three white men, liv? ing not far from Whitaker's turnout on the Wil? mington and U'eldon Railroad, have been ar? rested on suspicion of having caused the rad road accident near that point a few ni?hts since, aud, after uudergoiug an examination before the military, have been committed to await trial for the offence, the data obtained being sufficient to justify this latter course. The men arrested are T. K. Kidder, his father in-law and brother-in-law. The former is a discharged section master, and has entertained afirudge against Conductor James Borden, whoso life he has several times threatened! Captain Borden should have brought the train dowu on that night, but made an exchange at Weldon with Captain Geo. Morrison. Thf so facts, coupled with the circumstances that the rail had been evidently moved byan expert, caused suspicion to fall on Kidder, who was, consequently, arrested together with tho other two men, who were also suspected of being at least accessories beioro tho fact. The evi? dence afterwards collected by tho military seemed sufficient to warrant their committal lor trial.- Wilmington Slav, June. 9. -We see that a Boston publisher announces among thc works now in press P volume enti? tled ' The Lifo and Services of Major M.

THE GATHERING OF THE CLANS-HARMONIOUS FEELING-ORGANIZATION OF THE CONVENTION -SPEECH OF COLONEL SIMON TON-HON. JAMES B. CAMPBELL'S RESOLUTION-A CONFERENCE AND ITS RESULT-THE NEGRO SUFFRAGE QUES? TION TO BE IGNORED FOB THC PRESENT, AC [FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. 1 COLUMBIA, June 8.-Whatever may be the upshot of the Convention that will meet here this evening, there is no question that the pur? pose of the delegates ii to reconcile conflicting opinions, and as far as is compatible with a sense of duty, to smooth down whatever asperi? ties may have arisen from the action of the April Democratic Convention, in committing twenty-four of the districts of the State to the principle of qualified negro suffrage. The politicians of Columbia have been ap? prehensive of much opposition-of that direct, incisive, demoralizing antagonism which, when pertinaciously exercised by shrewd, influential men, is generally productive of damaging re? sults; but the frequent personal interviews and interchanges of thought that have taken placo since our arrival, seem to satisfy tho Columbi ans that the danger they snuffed in the breeze is still afar off. The chief point of difference appeare to be as to the expediency of saying anything about ne? gro suffrage. Thus far it has been urged as a principle, it has been made a bobby ; but I think it will appear after mature deliberation that the former committee will concede the propriety of leaving the opinion of every rep? resentative of the State in the Kew York Con? tention unfettered by any resolution or plat? form that may have been adopted. Even at ;his early hour-? o'clock P. M.-a member of .hat Executive Committee has shown me a se? ?es of resolutions that have received the con? currence of others of its members, and which >mphatically express the views I have heard ut ered all day. They signify plainly that the rreat heart of the State beats with but one JU!se, and that if there bas been any yielding )f principle, it was only to meet a temporary tontingency, and was not intended to bind the ?tate to a denned line of political action. With inch a concession it is evident that the Co? ombia committee is fully prepared to co-ope ate with the Edgefield and Charleston move neut, and to elect only such delegates as will epresent the true feeling of South Carolina, intrammelled by any of the clap-trap by which rotes are caught, ll P.

In ditfcbarg icse duties, which have devolved upon us, it important that we should keep in view two tidinal principles. The first is an active, de sled adhesion to the principles which govern ie Democratic party of the United States of merica. This devotion must be without quali ..ation-without reservation--without re? action. We are invited to assist in this Con ?utiou, although at present we do not pos :ss the right to vote, and possibly we shall cot assess a vote at tho time of the election, ith which to aid the success of the candidate, pon the North depend the results of this mtcst; to them beloi.gs the issue of this great .niggle, aud to them alone must be awarded ie victory we he pe to achieve. We shal.' meet, at all. ni thc Nd York Convention as guests ivited to a council, and it should be our aim ) act only as such, and trusting to the faith nd character of the gi eat Democracy of the orth to submit to their hands the decision of ur destinies, l'he direct issue before us is ie defeat and destruction of thc Radical party -a party which has now been iu possession ot ic government for eight long years, and hich seeks uncontioiled and uncontrollable espotism over the country. Already it has rippled the Executive, and holding in its hands ic reins of un almost imperipJ despotism, it jeks to obliterate State hues, and placo in the ands ol Congress that control which, since je organization ot the government, has been [aimed for tbe States, lt ie only by the de? duction ot such a party that we can preserve AI V oe in th sti th lei il CK ra or Bi iu til Bil I on of ba ha foi Hi Ye so an sh of OR ed so tb S mi Mt ou ho he ye th im Hi vo Tr tb ka thi rhi Ht Ti "?ll I wi so Co he on E?c on crt rai thi ev/ tel :hese rights. Before determining questions ol State policy, therefore, it is important that we moola first become a State. It will then be :ime enough to commit ourselves to the 'banges that may be demanded by the circum jtances of the hour. The other cardinal point is that there mast ie no division in South Carolina. [Applause.] rho Democracy of South Carolina must be a mit. Whatever individuals may desire, what? ever the passions of ono, or the prejudices of mother, or the impracticability of another may >e, the great heart of South Carolina cannot lyrnpathize with measures which tend to divide md alienate her people. [Applause.] I thank you, gentlemen, for the compliment phich you have paid me, and invoke your as istance iu presiding over your deliberations. Applause.] Mr. John Hanckel moved that the rules gov irning the House of Representatives of the ?tate be adopted as the niles of the Convention, [he motion was agreed to. Mr. Campbell. I hold in my hand a resolu iou which has been prepared by one of my fiends, and which meets my hearty approba ion. I offer it for the consideration of the Con ention. Tv7?ereas, It is understood that the execu ive committee, appointed by the convention rh ich assembled in this State in April last, de ire a conference with this convention for the urpose of producing harmonious action by he Democratic party in this State; be it Resolved, That a committee of seven be ap ointed by the President of this Convention, jr the purpose of conference with the execu ive committee, and that the result of that ODferenco be reported to this body.

FKOM WASHINGTON. IMISSION OF SOU THERN 8TA ILS-DEBATE ON THE ADMISSION OF ALABAMA-IHE ARKANSAS BILL-THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTS OF CON? GRESS A GOD-SEND TO THE DEMOCRACY-EE CONSTBUCTION OF THE UNIOS UNDER CONSTITU? TIONAL PRINCIPLES. Tho Washington correspondent of the Balti ore> Gazette writes under date of tho 7th inst. : It was thought a few days ago, by some Dein rala in Congress, that the apparent muddie the Senate in respect to the admission ot | j e Southern States, under the atrocious coe- ' ittitions adopted by the carpet-baggers and i ? eir negro dapos, might lead in some way a: I ' ist to postponement until after the election. I ' lis idea was founded upon the equally lalla- ? 1 DUS hypothesis) that a majority'of the electo I vote's of those States, even as at present j ganized, might, in the opinion of leading ? J idicals, be cast for the Democratic candidates \ 1 November. These notions were ail given to | J e winds oh Saturday. There had been exhibited a manifest dispo- . ion, for some cauje or other, to defer the j J osent admission of Alabama by the House of jprcsentatives. That State Vas accordingly 1 utted in the Omnibus bill. The amendment 1 Wilson to iuclude it has given risc to the de- 1 te in which the Senato is now engaged, and 1 a met the strenuous opposition of three or ur Radicals of the straightest sect, including award, of Michigan, and Cockling, of N.w irk. It was thought, with some show of rea- . 0, that inasmuch as these gentlemen, one ? ( d al!, affirmed that suth an act would be a cor and fradulent breech ol faith on the part Congress, they would record their votes auist it in whatever shapei: might be present . This consideration had weight, *even with me of the moro verdant Republican senators einselvoa. Accordingly, Mr. Frehnghuyseu posed the amendment on the grouad that the ?ole bill, if vetoed, as it assuredly would be, gbt eventually be defeated. In this view jrton, of Indiana, concurred on Friday. But tho day following, having "counted "noses,; unceremoniously rose in his place " to Bay had become convinced that ho was mistaken aterday in concluding that the opposition to o admission ot Alabama waa SO strong as to peril this bill by including Alabama in it. ;had, therefore, changed h;s mind and would te for tho amendment." Simultaneously with these proceedings Mr. nmbull rose in bis place to announce that B " committee of conference " on the Ar nsas bili had agreed to ie:ommend that B Senate recede from its amendments and it the bill bo passed as it came from tho JUBC. In that shape it forever prohibits ibo opie of tue State from altering their L'on tutio'i so as to deprive a single negro from B right of suffrage. rhe StateB named in thc lil] undoubtedly II therefore bc admitted the K^'Stnt session", far aa the unconstitutional action of this ngress will finally avail, and ii is regarded re as a God-send to the Demotracv, viewed ly in a paity sense. For it is looted upon as cul i arly fortunate that an issue shall havo enjoined at this particular juncture, which tue one hand drives thc insincere late re iit8 to quasi..?niisci vatisiri back into the I F lits of thjjtr flwlwve, and on the ether it is j sught^pt ol the greatest c;nsequencc that rs 'fiemscives eo opportun !..' warn eei- , ff^tud-bo leadeis of the Democracy of| tue ratter impracticaDinty or compueanng me party in any ?cheme of compromise of principie op?n grounds of expediency. It has frequently been hinted that it was feared by many Democrats in Congress that by some hocus pocus the hangers upon the verge of both parties would contrive some cheating plan which would seem, i rly divest the monstrous outrages committed against j the Southern people of their more glar? ingly flagrant features, at the same time re taming this vital enormity. It has long since been known that certain stock jobbers, profess? ing to he life-long Democrats, and occupying conspicuous public 'positions, were not unwill? ing to dilute, if not sacrifice the essential prin? ciples of the party, to make assurance doubly sure ol the success of men willing, and con? sistently able, to secure others of minor impor? tance. To all such plans the recent and fur? ther action of Congress must forever put an end. The Democracy here, and (so far as the correspondence of public men here indicate the general feeling) everywhere, will demand a res? toration of the Inion upon strictly constitu? tional principles, and consequently an utter sweeping from the statute hook of every ves? tige of the legislation of Congress embraced in au the acts and doings of every kind compris? ing the infamous "reconstruction''* system. Unless the opinions of the representatives of the party now congregated in Washington are greatly at fault, the platform to be adopted ou ie 4th proximo will not only insist upon this, but upon a full recognition of those inherent rights of the States which were never denied until the late unfortunate war placed it in the power of conspirators to dispute them, and a denial of which under no other circumstances would have been for an instant tolerated. GENERAL THOMAS. Whose fingers were used to pull the chesnuts out of the fire ? This is a question in which General Lorenzo Thomas is interested, and one which he may soon be able to answer. The manner in which he was ordered first to re? sume his duties at Adjutant-General of the army, and then to act as Secretary of War ad interim, ie already well known to the whole country. General Thomas was the agency through which the Stanton imbroglio was eventually brought te a termination, and as such he was assailed by the impeachers in the most scurrillous manner. He was den ranced for everything that waa wicked, and was styled the co-conspirator with President Johnson. The President wins, impeachment ie de? feated, and Stanton is forced to "re? linquish the Department." But what be? comes of "old ad interim," as the Bads call him? Does he now assume actively tho duties of Secretary of War ? Oh, no ! He was advised and directed not to take possession of the department after Mr. Stanton left, although ordered so to do while Stanton was there. Does he resume his duties as Adjutant-General of the army? Oh, no ! General Schofield tells him he had better wait a lew days lest people say he nae too anx? ious to get back into office. You can wait, General, but you will not assume the duties of j Adjutant-General. Grant does not want you there, since you aided in ousting Stanton, and you will be sent on another inspecting tour to the South, during which you will have time to solve the interesting question propounded above. Assistant Adjutant-General Townsend will be assigned to duty as Adjutant-General of the army, and General*Thomas will be-eecom modated with another roving commission. His motto isto obey orders without complaint, but eome of his friends will complain of such treat? ment to an officer who has stood firmly by the President. THE CHINESE IN WASHINGTON. The House of Representatives has resolved to give a public official reception to the Chi? nese Embassy, on Tuesday morning, at ll o'clock, in the" hall of the House. A copy of ] the resolution was transmitted to Minister Burlingame yesterday, and the invitation for Tuesday wa? accepted. As there is thc great? est curiosity to see these CelestiaL:,.|thp .ash to thc capitol "is expected to be very gieni. The servants of the embassy travel about the streets at will, but the dignitaries keep them? selves secluded as much as possible from the public gaze. Since their presentation to the President thc officials of tho embassy have made calls on the Cabinet officers, foreign ministers, on Mr. Wade, Chief Justice Chase, General Grant, Senator Sumner and Mr. Col fp.r, and last evening they were at a brilliant i ?"eption at Mr. Seward's house, where many ladies and officials and diplomats were pres? ent. Tue house and grounds were illuminated, two instrumental bands were in attendance, and Miss Richings and other members ot her company gave a parlor en'ertainmenfc. To? morrow the strangers will go to Mount Ver? non, and on Tuesday attend a state dinner to be given by the President in their honor. Democratic Victory in Oconee. The Democratic ticket for county officers has been elected by ajnajority of about three hun? dred and fifty votes. The officers elect are as follows: Clerk, Jessie W. Stribhng ; Probate Judge, Richard Lewis ; Sheriff, James H. Rob? ins; School Commissioner, R. S. Porcher; Coroner, S. B. Mauldin ; County Commission? ers, A. Loy, W. R. Davis and James Zachary. Our correspondent says : Democratic Clubs are still being formed here, and I think Oconee County can say she has more clubs than any other county in the State. A club Has been formed here for the colored people. Wallace Hicks, their president, made Borne very suitable remarks at their first meet? ing and "gave them some very sound advi?e. It would have done some of the fe a mic good to have been present. They are leaving the Union League colors and joining the Demo? cratic ranks. They say those are their only | ? true Iriends, and what ia good for the white mau is good for them. Last week another league meeting tookplace. One of the officers boupht a galion of whiskey co treat on. Some of the colored Democratic folks, being in town, got wind o? it, went up ind joined them, but only as long as the whis? key las? ed-when that was gone they were gone Loo. Cue p ?or ieiiow who had left his bag of :oru dows stairs to get his Irink, found it gone, .u rather found it not at all, when he came lowu. Jukes are played un the Union League ill '.he :.ine.
