It will take a fort? night yet to dispose of the bill. The provision requiring a two cent stamp on receipts has been stricken from the tax bin. .The Radical Convention, at Alexandria, has nominated a negro for Ute virginia Stale Sen? ate. . The Senate refused to sustain the President's suspension of Wm. James, I o te rn al Revenue Collector ai Richmond, Ya. This action rein? states James and ousts General Millford. In. dictmeuts are said to be pending against James, which the Treasury Department will now push. * The Mayor ad interim called the Council to? gether. Finding the chambers locked, they motin an adjoining building, and passed reso . Inti ons requiring officers of banks where cor? poration rands are kept to honor no drafts at present, . Secretary Mcculloch responds to Commis? sioner Rollins, whose resignation is again re? turned: ' "This communication impartial, because it attributes (he present deranged condition of the internal revenue service to the removals and appointments - made by the President, r.. while it must be dear to the mind of the Com? missioner that this demoralization is attributa? ble inpart to the antagonism between the Ex? ecutive and Legislative branches of the Gov? ernment, which has prevented harmony of action. It is unjust and disrespectful to the: President, because the records of the bureau show that the falling off. of the revenues in the districts iii which removals were made by the President in 1866 was not comparatively greater than in the districts in which no changes took place. That in fact the revenues of the fiscal year ending June 30,1867, during which the remov? als were made, were entirely satisfactory, com? ing rip very closely to the liberal estimates of the department, while the demoralization of the service and tho decline of the revenues have chiefly occurred during the present fiscal . year, long after the officers removed by the President h ad beau reinstated, or othcrp, whose i nominations bad been approved by thc QeuaieT" " ? had taken the places of the appointees of 'the President. It waa these reasons, and no other, that the communication could not be received, and was returned to the Commissioner. The return .of it was also justified by the fact that copies of it were sent to the press before it was' handed to the Secretary. It must, therefore, have been intended for the public rather than* for the files of the Department. r (Signed) "HUGH MCCULLOCH, " Secretary of the Treasury. " Treasury Department? June 13,1868."

Louis, June 18.-The Democrats have gained one hundred-electing the municipal ticket in Mound City, Illinois. At Frankfort, Ky., in Jannary. a negro, sus? pected of having committed a rape on an Irish girl, was taken frpm the jail by a mob and hanged. The grand jury of the United States District Court having taken up the case, have summoned the Bev. Lambert Young, a Roman Catholic priest, who addressed the mob in the hope of dissuading them from the murder, to appear and testify as to the persons whom he saw in tbe crowd.. Mr. Young refused to testify on the ground that his presence was solely be canee of his character as a priest and for the nee of biB influence SB a priest, and was tole? rated by the mob with that understanding, and that facts coming lo his knowledge by reason ot" snob presence are therefore sacredly confi? dential and privileged. Judge Ballard, how? ever has dea led that the facts were not made known to Mr. leting confidentially, but were public, and would Jiave been known to any one ?loe who had gone to the piace o: the riot at the tine, and has committed the witness to prison until h e answers the questions pntby tte grand jury. THE PRESS ON THE LATE COLUMBIA CONVENTION, The 3tate papers are beginning to speak ont on the subject of the lato Columbia Conven? tion, whose action appears: to be very far from popular. It does not now seem that any thor? ough harmony bas been secured by its deliber? ations, and it is considered to have been un? necessary, inasmuch as, with or without any representation in the New York Convention, a resolute attempt will be made to poll a large vote for the candidates of the National Demo? cracy. The Orangeburg News says that it can hardly feel satisfied with the action of the Convention, and adds : Representing ODIV a portion of the State, they should not have presumed to pass a reso? lution, purporting to represent the sentiments of the Democracy of the State, on anv question of importance, aird especially by such a reso? lution to come in conflict with a platform sot forth by a convention in which a larger portion of the State Lsd been previously represented. We consider that the Convention m Colum? bia would have done good, but for this mis? take. Now, the Democracy of the State are further from a union, in our opinion, than ever before ; and nothing can unite us but a cene ral Convention, after the National Convention in July. For ourselves, we recognize no platform but the resolutions of the first Convention; and will recognize no other, until it comes to us as the authoritative expression of the opinion of the Democrats of the State. The Barnwell Sentinel talks very plain Eng lian. It says : The action of the State Convention recently held in Columbia, in regard to negro suffrage, was most unfortunate and ma), apropos, tend? ing, as it does, to cause a division among the whites, when unity in purpose and action is of the utmost importance. That each State is to decide for itself the qualifications of its elect? ors', is a received 'axiom of all Democrats, and when we have the rights and privileges of a State it will be time enough to d?cide on who axe or are not to vote. In the meantime, it be hooves us to look at mattera practically instead of theoretically. Instead of looking abroad for help, let the white men put their own shoul? ders to the wheel, in an effort to prevent the disasters that must ensue if they continue the policy heretofore pursued in South Carolina. The experience of the past should teach us a leeson for the future, and no time should be lost in perfecting an organization, so that in future elections we maybe prepared f,r effi? cient action. TIB true that it will be difficult to arouse the people to a sense of the impor? tance of taking an active part in political mat? ters, but efforts should De made. The clubs should invite pulilic speakers and prominent men to address the people and invoke their aid. POLITICS IN THE STATE. LANCASTER. ID this district the Conservative ticket was elected by a handsome majority, being a gain ?MU votes .since the April elections. The elected candidates are : Probate Judge, D. A Williams; Clerk of Court, Thoe. H. Clyburn; Sheriff, J. D. Caskey; School Commissioner, W. J. White; Coroner; William M. Adams; County Commissioners, L. J. Ferry, Wesley Hilton and ! i B.C. Potts. Lancaster District has nineteen organized Democratic Clubs, all in good working order. CLARENDON. The Radical county ticket was elected. About ] four hundred Conservative votes were polled, but the white people did not toro out as th ey t should have done. * < ---- _ ??riOH. _ _ ^ Th1* Buco?ssrul'^orislervatrv'e "county candi- 1 dates are : Probate Judge, T. J. Greer; Sheriff, jj J. B. Bogers; Clerk, A D. Spears; Coroner, E M. Gregory. FAX?FIELD. ( The Radical majority is four hundred and 1 thirty-two. About one thousand persons did not vote, including at least two hundred and j fifty whites. The WinuBboro'News says : . { ' ' Had they all come up to the polls, and each have secured one extra vote, the result would . . have been quite different We sincerely hope ] this indifference is not characteristic or sym- |; pa thy with the Radical party. The news from other districts conclusively proves that we can carry the State in November for the Presiden? tial electors. The Democratic clubs of freed? men have done well, and are daily increasing their number. The white voters who refuse to register their names as members of the Demo- ? , eratic clubs are leBS worthy than the freedmen, 1 and will be so regarded in the future by every true Democrat in the district. KEESHA W. The Columbia Phoenix says : A Democratic Club bas been formed at Lynchwood, Ker? shaw District, The Club was eloquently ad? dressed by our friend, the true-hearted and gallant General Kershaw. When the Conser tive Democracy of the State is represented by such men as Kershaw, who is no trading politician, we have additional faith in our suc? cess. BaJtKWZLL? The Sentinel says : By proper andjudicious measures much mav be? lone in influencing the colored population. In Edgefield District at one poll seventy-six votes were cast, of which seventy-three were Democratic t Why cannot a like result be ob? tained in other precincts ? Aid and encour? agement should be given to such negroes as would ally themselves with the Democratic party, and in employing workmen the prefer? ence should be given to those who would act with us. At Aiken an auxiliary Democratic Club, composed exclusively of colored persons, is being formed, and the members are furnished with a neatly printed card of membership, commending them to the Democrats of the State. If this course was pursued throughout Barnwell District, and proper encouragement Sven to those who adhered to the party, by e fall elections we would be strong enough to protect ourselves from the outrage of being governed by carpet-bag poUricians. It rests with the white men of the South to control their own political destiny. This can only be done by active, energetic and united action. Even those who axe disfranchised can aid by their influence. THE OMNIBUS BILL The following ?B a correct copy of the Six State Southern Admission bill, in the form in which it wae finally passed by both Housee of Congress : An Act to admit the States of North Carolina, Sooth Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida to representation in Congress. Where&f, The people of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida have, in pursuance of the provisions of an act entitled "An act for the moro efficient government of the rebel States," passed March 2d, 1807, and the acta supplemeotary thereto, framed constitutions of State government which are republican, and have adopted Baid consti? tutions by large majorities of the votes cast a the elections held for the ratification or rejec Lion of the same; therefore Section 1. Be it enacted, ?co., That each of the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida shall be entitled and admitted to representation in Congress as a State of the Union when the Legislature of such State shall have duly rati? fied tho amendment to the constitution of the United States proposed by the Thirty ninth Congress, and known as article fourteen, upon the following fundamental conditions : That the constitutions of neither of said States shall ever be so amended or chang? ed as to deprive any citizen Or class of citi? zens io the United 8tates of the right to vote who are entitled to vote in said State by the constitution thereof herein recognized ex? cept as a punishment for such crimes as are now felonies at common law, whereof they shall have been daly convicted under laws equally applicable to ail the inhabitants ot said States ; provided that any alteration of said constitutions, prospective in its effect, may be made in regara to time and place of residence of the rot ers ; and the Stale of Georgia shall only be entitled and admitted to representation upon this further fundamental condition : that the .first and third subdivisions of section seventeen of the fifth article of the constitution of said State, except the proviso to the first subdivision, shall be null and void, and that the General Assembly of said State, by solemn public act, shall declare the assent of the State to the foregoing fundamental condition. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That if the time fixed for the meeting of the Legislature of either of the said States by the convention thereof shall have passed, or shall have so nearly arrived before the passage of this act that there shall not be time for the Legislature to assemble at the time fixed by the conven? tion of said State, such Legislature shall con? vene at the end of twenty days from the time this act takes effect, unless the Governor shall sooner convene tbe same. Sec. 8. That the find, section of this act shall taite effect as to each State, except Geor? gia, when such State shall, by its Legislature, duly ratify article fourteen of the amendments to the Constitution of the United States, pro? posed by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and as to the State of Georgia, when it shall, in addition, give the assent of said State to tho fundamen? tal condition hereinbefore imposed upon the same; end thereupon the officers of each State, duly elected and qualified under the constitu? tion thereof, shall be inaugurated without de? lay; but no person prohibited from holding office under the United States or under any State, by section three of the proposed amend? ment to" the Constitution of the United States known as article fourteen, shall be deemed eligible to any office in either of said States, unless relieved from disability, as provided in said amendment. And it is hereby made the duty of the President, within ten days after receiving official information of the ratification of said amendment by the Legislature of] either of said States, to issue a proclamation announcing that fact. POLITICAL SUMMARY. mn OHNIBUS BELL--SPICY DEBATE EH THE HOUSE-THE BELL PASSED-WELL THE PRESI? DENT VETO IT?-THE BILL TO PARTITION TEXAS. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes under date of the 12th b?tant : The debate in the House of Representatives : o-day on the admission of the Southern States, mown as the Omnibus bill, was spicy, inter? esting and suggestive. Bingham sprung the bill upon the House unexpectedly, and Paine, rf Wisconsin, was the first to assail the amend? ment of the Senate, which includes the State rf Florida. He attempted to show that the [Konstitution was not such as Congress should ipprove as it created eight hundred officers, with an aggregate of salaries of nearly $800. X)0 per annum. He was unwilling to saddle ?he people of Florida in their present despoiled md embarrassed condition with such a tax. Again he complained that nearly the whole 9i these officers were to be n pp Dinted by the Governor, the -people having a voice mly in the selection ot Govern r, Lieuten imt-Governor, Legislature aud County Consta? bles. Butler contended that the constitution tvas eminently republican in form, because it ivas modelled after the old Constitution of Mas? sachusetts, with the principle of free suffrage ingrafted thereon. Farnsworth (Republican), rf Illinois, asailed it because it was tho work of :arpet-baggex8, through violence and under the protection of bayonets. Hulburd (Radical), rf New York, explained that it was necessary to give the Governor the power of appointing ill the officers to prevent rebels tr ona securing certain local influence, as there were counties n which the "loyal" element were in the mi? nority. Bingham followed with an appeal to ois party to admit Florida as necessary to se :ure au adoption of the fourteenth amendment o the Federal Constitution. To this Brooks Democrat), of New York, replied that be ad? mired the audacity which prompted the gen- : ???mu; - ? -i?iit_>K?- ''..i-Z^nr?,y-jr~-~ ?urjrnacr n including Florida in the oui, and agreed i hat they might admit Florida and the other I Jouthern States with any. constitutions they i Dleased; the time was not far distant when i hey would find all those States with Demo- < :ratic representatives on the floor of Congress, i is the great law of nature would prevail, and i he white man would me the negro element i igainst the reckless party jow in power. Bing- i nun alluded to the President as the "apostate" i tt the White House. Brooks protested: against c retch language, as impeachment was over, i 'No. ' said bingham, "it is not over; it is yet < o be brought before another tribunal." t Brooks, pointing to Heaven, ?replied : "It will i ?nell terribly before it reaotrjs that court"- f dluding to a caricature now sold upon the e streets here, styled the "Smelluvg Committee," t n which impeachment is represented as the ( :arcass of a norse, with tie managers gather- c id around it holding their noses. Bingham a evidently felt the allusion amid the laughter of t the House. Brooks' Bpeech wat listened to ' with much interest by loth sides of the House. After a protracted delate the bil] was finally ( poseed, admitting Nortl Carolina, South Caro- t ina, Louisiana, Georgia Alabama and Florida t bo representation in Cosrreas, as States of the Union, after the Legislature of each State shall bave ratified the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution, ?he bill goes to the " President this afternoon 'or his sigaature, and n there is much diversity f opinion as to what ? the action of the Presiden wm be. Ho disap- 11 proves of the terms and ^strictions imposed a on these StateB, and believe them unconstitu- lf tional, and consequently vjd. He is exceed- t! tngly anxious to have tbestgtates again rep? resented in Congress, and n>]y expresses the opinion that wb?n once thei} the States will be able to protect themselves, it i8 therefore " thought the President will silo the bill to be? come a law. ci The bill proposing to divide T?as into three * States meets with a decided ophion m the u Radical ranks, on the ground itu these new C States would be likely to send Dermatic aD(i al not Radical Senators to Congret stevens al will continue to press the bill, but >ere jg no tl probability that it will be passed at t, preaent D session, although there is a loree >DDV 0f k Texas Radicals here urging inunediaUaction 11 BO that all of the truly loyal may ha\ P0Iue ff office. u tl SENATOR TATES ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE -HE B^g n OUT THE SEN ATO RIAL FOXES-SUMNER DELHT. ED-THE GRANT TICKET EN ABAD WAY-BU,B8 OF CABINET CHANGES. ^ A Washington letter (June 12) to the Ba. more Gazette, says : al The speech of Senator Yates to-day has gr b' en bis party great uneasiness. An effort hal fi been made to keep him quiet, and it was suc-ti cessful, until after the Omnibus bill for the ad-bf mission of the Southern States had passed the V Senate. This morning a motion was made to ; reconsider the vote by whic i the bill was pass? ed last night, and this motion was for the pur Eose of enabling Yates to make his speech, umner seemed to be the only senator that knew exactly what was coming, and he urged Yates to insist upon his right to be heard on the bill, even after it bad passed the Senate. AB soon as Yates announced bis several politi? cal propositions, the Radicals, with the excep? tion of Sumner, exhibited alarm. Yates was about to explode a bomb in their camp, at least so far as illinois was concerned, which would blow the Grant ticket sky-high. The key note of Yates' speech was a tull recognition of negro equality, and he declared that it would be useless tor parties to hide their heads in the sand, supposing they were concealed from the pursuers. Universal negro suffrage North ana South was demanded at the hands of Congress and Congress would have to grant it. This declaration brightened up the coun? tenance of Sumner, but the party leaders look? ed fretted and alarmed. Here was the negro equality issue not only presented OB a plank in the Radical platform, but an issue which Yates claimed was in the power of Congress to docide. This is the real issue for the peo? ple in the next election, and os presented by their Senator it cannot be misunderstood by the people of Illinois. The only difference be? tween Senator Yates and the other Radicals of that body is, Yates hod been bold enough to avow their position on the negro equality is? sue, which tue others would avoid by dodging behind the Chicago platform. Let the issue be made upon the power of Congress to force uuiversol negro suffrage upon the States, and Grant will fight a losing contest. Let this is? sue be presented fairly to the people of the several States, and a defeat awaits General Grant similar to that which overtook General Scott in 1852. It is not to be wondered at that Sherman and Morton and Edmunds and senators of that class did not wish Yates to speak ; yet he did speak, and he presented the negro issue plainly and boldly. There can now be no dodging and the result cannot be doubtful. 1 The streets are again ulled with r amors of Cabinet changes and resignations. It was said to-day by a distinguished senator, sup? posed to be in the confidence of the Adminis? tration, that Secretary Browning would tender his resignation to the President io less than a week. The same senator discredits the report that Mcculloch would retire. Prominent poli? ticians announce to-day, after a^ong confer enc3 with President Johnson, that the entire Cabinet would be changed' before the fourth day of July next. On tbe other hand, a prom? inent friend of the Administration in the Sen? ate thinks that the President will have his hands full to fill the office of Attorney-General without creating other vacancies, which would only result in having his nominations rejected ana his friends mortified and insulted. Such are the conflicting statements to-day about the Cabinet. , A CHASE MEETING DH PHILADELPHIA. On Wednesday a meeting of citizens of all political parties throughout the country, favor? able to the nomination of Chief Justice Chace as President of the United States by the Demo? cratic Convention which meets in New York on the fourth of July next, was held at the Conti? nental Hotel in Philadelphia, The Age says : On motion of John Welsh, Hon. Frederick P. Stanton, of Virginia, was called to the chair. A committee of three was appointed to select german eut officers, who reported for president [on. William S. Price, of Pennsylvania; vice presidents, John J. Cisco, New York; Chas. D. Freeman, Pennsylvania; Enoch T. Carson, Ohio; W?bam Prescott Smith, Maryland; Hon. Frederiok P, Stanton, Virginia; John Paul, M. D., Illinois; Amasa Sprague, Rhode Island; T. H. Swcetzer. Massachusetts; Hon. James R. Doolittle, Wisconsin; General Arah L. Jeffries, District Columbia; Edward T. Latham, New Jersey; Hon. James Dixon, Connecticut; Gen? eral S. W. Crawford, Kentucky. Secretaries John W. Frazier, Philadelphia; William How? ard. Pmladelphia; John J. O'Brien, New York; William J. Hawley, New York; John Oberly. Illinois. A committee of nine was appointed on resolutions, consisting of Chas. D. Freeman, David W. Sellers, Alexander Long, Frederick P. Stanton, William Howard, J. P. Tucker, Ed? ward T. Latham, FrederickSchley and William S. Hawley, who reported the following, which were adopted unanimously : Whereas, We; as citizens of the several States, irrespective of our.political affiliation, believe that tbe learning,' experience, ability and purity of Chief Justice Chase are an assur? ance of an administratiomccnformable to the constitution, if he should ba chosen President; and that we believe, if presentid to the people of our country for their suffrage, they would cordially unite upon him aspee in whom they might hope for a happy recoiciliation of the people of all tho States under the just and be? nign provisions -of our federal constitution. Therefore, -1 Resolved, That we desire Chief Justice Chase for the next President of the Union, as the man best entitled to our confidence and support, and that a committee of ate hundred be ap? pointed to promote bis nomination by the De? mocratic Convention, whioh meets in New York sn the 4th of July next. After which, a committee of one hundred, with Charles G. Halpine as .chairman, was ap? pointed to convey the proceedings to the De? mocratic Convention in New ?ork. The meet? ing then adjourned. CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE ASS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION - CONSTERNATION" IN THE RADICAL CAMP. ' 4 The Cincinnati Commercial (Republican) has ;he following from Washington: If Chief Justice Chase is nominated at New ?ork-a likelihood which is rapidly being transformed into a certainty-his thanks for :he honor thus conferred upon him will be due, not so much to the Democrats who confer it, is to the Radicals whose demoralization at the nere suggestion of his candidacy has gradual y attracted Democratic attention, and ti nally rilled. Dom ooratio determination. There are a few cae*4 in the political history >f the country which parallel this in the mat? er Of the success or defeat of one party being io utterly and confessedly contingent upon the action ot the other party in its nominating t onvention. And I do not base this assertion t tpon Democratic belief, but upon Radical . ?onfeesion. Let the doubter come to Wash Dgton and take such mes as Waahbume, .nd Scheuck, Yates, Sumner, and Fessenden | ? uto a quiet corner for a quiet talk on the poli ti al prospecto, and he will find ont how strong s the belief that as between Grant and any ither man but Chase, there is no noubt entert? ained of Grant's Buccese. But if Chase is I lomiuated at New York, "it will be a bard I ight," say somo-"he'll beat Grant," say otb- j rs, and the wisest of them. It is this condi- j ion of things, and not any special love of Mr. Jhase for the Democratic party, or the Demo- 1 ratio party for Mr. Chase, that has brought bont what maybe termed a quiet little revok? ion in the ranks of the Democratic party. 1 She stoops (o conquer." I have good authority for the assertion that ieneral Grant bas sairJ, since his nomination, hat Chase "is the only man who could make he fight a lively one." MB. CHASE'S FLATFORM. ], The issues of the present campaign, accord- i ig to Mr. Chase's idea, do not require a whole ewspaper column for their setting forth. "The ontest is a great one, but it may be put down i a very few words-it is law against force, nd I am for law." If anybody can state the ?sues of the campaign in fewer words, let bim ry it. THE CHASE MOVEMENT IN NEW TOBE. A New York letter (June ll) to the Philadel hia Ledger save: I g The "Chase movement" (so called) in your | I ity attracts some attention here. It is a note ortby tact that there has been no effort to get ta public demonstration ion behalf of the ief justice here-except. the one which was duded to in this correspondence a day or two go, and which was so summarily nipped in ie bud. The older and more wary of the lemocratic politicians are afraid to openly p lentify themselves with it, especially since K ae publication of Mr. Chape's recent letter in j, ivor of universal suffrage, an idea which, it is rtred, does not at all harmonize with the ?eorv that "this is a white man's govern lent." RADICAL EXTRAVAGANCE. The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun rites : The Paymaster-General has thrown a b"mb ?ell into the very heart of the Radical camp v demanding an additional appropriation of 15,000,000 tq enable him to pay the extra botin? es authorized bv acis of Congress to be paid | ft ?tween now and the 1st of December next, his demand, and the necessity for an imine ate compliance with it in order to keep faith th the soldiers, upsets completely all the h promises of retrenchment and reduction of gi een?es made early in the seesiOD.

A medical gentleman inquires "if the Resolvent ls i cure for Spermatorrhea, Impotence, and Discharges [rom the System, that threaten dissolution," kc The RENOVATING RESOLVENT, when prepared under the old process, cured many persons in this :lty and elsewhere, who, from self-abuse, had almost placed themselves beyond the reach of cure, but who ?rere cured and since married, and have children, rbis is good evidence of its powerful curative and fruitful efficacy. As a Blood Purifier, it is superior to all Sarsaparil B8-these decoctions are mere washes compared to the powerful, stimulating, strengthening and life* invigorating effects of the true S ARSAP A RILLI A N RESOLVENT. So quick is this remedy in passing nto the circulation that it may be detected in the Blood and Urine in ten minutes after lt is taken. In ordinary Pimples, Blotches, Worms or Insects n the Skin, Black Spots, Sores, Eruptions, Ac, a few loses is sufficient to make thc skin clear, smooth and leal thy.

It is acknowledged to be a superior, a safer, and nore rapid cure than Buchu, Juniper, C?beos, Tur len tine, Copabia, Ac, for all diseases of the Urinary, Hadder, or Uterine Organs, and the only sure care ar Ulceration and Degeneration of the Kidneys, >r. Radway his for several years given special et? an ion to diseases of these organs, and his trea tse on Kidneys, Bladder, and the Urine in "False nd True "ie the most thorough and explicit of any lublished. THE SARSAPARILLIAN RESOLVENT is the bes emedy in tie treatment of Consumption of the /unge and Bronchitis. It purifies the blood and josens the phlegm, so that expectoration ie easy, t supplies the waste and decay of the body with new nd healthy material, and repairs the emaciated body rita new s'rength-lt secures a good appetite, and hecks tr. e waste and dissolution of the lungs.
