At tb? openftjg* of Cbn* gras he remitted, to 4jtu& body-~the | entire question of the au misti?n of members. The power is vest?d in each bodyly the Constitution to dOj eide, under thc i imitations .o? th: a instrument, the quaJirksations of their ' members. Each body for. Itself ha?, the right -to admit ox exclude- pei- ? *oos presenting themselves Vitli cre? dentials of appointment or election, but tbis right is restricted, by -1 he Constitution. Neither of them lui ve. a right to erect any other taSt than J that furnished hythe Constitutum., but they have ' assumed 'to make others. The President says that they7* ore wrong in so doing. Ho is. with- ' in the sphere of his duty,'attempting to convince them that they are in error, and that they arc noting un Vieely for the best" interests of the country; and is endeavoring to cul? tivate a public opinion that aril be stron;-' enough to compel them to do' right. This is his privilege And his duty. In his office, he has not at? tempted to interfere willi Chem, or -intimated a design to intimidate or coerce them to adopt his view. They are conscious that he-h?s power with the people, and they know that the Jrablic judgment condemns thc delay u the restoration of the Uaiou and the return of peace which they have cati sed. They are -maddened at the . appeal which the President has taken -to the people against them, and this ' is the explanation of the vindictive course they ore pursuing towards hint: "Against Congress in all it? mis? doing the President opposes the Con? stitution, and that alone. He feels confident of ultimate victory il the people will be true to th? Constitu? tion, and when they are not, the days pf both President and Congress are numbered. A dictator or a direc? tory will take the place of all in' such ga event!" This is all right, if he had a con? stitutional Congress to deal with. Our own opinion is, he ought to have closed ap both houses of Congress long ago-by force, if necessary. He has told Congress, on several occa? sions, the Acta they passed were un? constitutional. Why, then, did he recognize them at all as the Congress t?f the United Statos? We still have great faith in the President, and believe that, to-day, be is master of the position. Public Meeting.

Ho wa? brit tho nor vant of the law-making power, rt? had no more right to say what ghoul* ho dono outside- the law cf tho lam than any other cirixen, aud ho (Mr Hamilton) characterized the 'line >> poliey~of tho President ?f the Unitei Stated as the foolish ebullition of : privat" citizen who could lund u< ono. He continued nt great lengtl iu the S? i ul o -train, eulogire'l tb black moo, and thanked Cod that th' I bin jof rieht? passed in Congross ii j spite of tue Executive resistance. II was loudly condemnatory ot ?ll trai tors, especially Jeff Davis, and all tb rebels of the South. The pttbli ??nd was iamili irized with rc vol il tion, and it would be well that (JOB gress should still remain iu. aeaaioi and protect the interests ot the na tiou against a dangen ms minority. ? The chairman, in announcing Ibu Lugan, made a few introductory n marks, in the course of which heal hided to the President asthegenth mau who presided at the White Hou> of Southern affairs. Af the close <: the war, the rebels asked what the should get, but now it was what the shall have, and it, would not be lou until it would be, ' what shalt we a low the-Yankees to have?" Th amendment to tho Constitution seen: ing liberty and eqnal rights to al and most of all. equal rights of repr< seutation according to votes, to th people of all the ?States throughot the hind, had been submitted for r. tification to tho Legislatures of tl . States. Tennessee had boen at WOT j on that amendment, and her Souat< I some days since. I>y a largo majority give their concurrence to it. to 1 incorporated forever hereafter, a* ai other portion ol* tho ?harter of ?be ty, in the great arganic law of tl land. But there werediirienl ties in tl Hons?- of Representatives of the Toi hesaee Legislature. He could in say how these difficulties might ha' been increased-, if not originated, 1 the manipula*iona of small politician here at Washington. That diffieo! i had now ceased. 1 He here roa t Brownlow'^ telegrui j and predicted that Congress won admit Tennessee the next day (yr terdny.l Ile thou introduced Ge Logan, who WHS received with bo applause. I He said thc questions that wore j discussion . before tho country nr I were certainly of such a'character I would require groat thought and ca ' on the part of the people. It seeuv j strange that they assembled togeth ! now, since the war had closed, i j the purpose of discussing the que j tion as to what was the proper mo* : or manner of restoring the politic relations that formerly existed t j tween the people of the States ai ! the Genera] Government. If th j would only go back some three four years, he believed they con ? lind tr? man in the land, who claim to bi1 a loyal man, while the war rag from one end of the land to t I other, while blood flowed iii the Ian i and while they e nid hear the wa ings anti weepings of widows a orphans, who would attempt to rai a discussion as to the proper mode manner of restoring theGovernmei ' should Hie rebellion be put dqjf H?' had not heard, nor did he duri the war rind, one mun who claim to be loyal and true to .he Gov?i meut, who did not believe and ad^ dated the ulna that when tito rel? drew t?o-ir sabres against this ( ' vornimmt, that they, by thai act J defiance to the Government, its i ? thority and laws, claimed no fnrtl I protection from it. He then went j to argue that it was a great stretch I tho magnanimity of tho Federal ( vern ment not to kill nil tho rob when tiley lind them iu their pow ; But there was a change in the l i now. The Executive then wanted be the Moses leading the slaves fr 1 bondage, bat ho (Genv Logan) coi I not see it. Tho President bad I i l>is way, and power had been ham ' over to tho rebels. ' ..

There should be ! nb .objar.ti.oo tri this constitutional amendment. It waa just and right, , ?iud m> mau, no cabinet, should be opposed to it. The man1" that said I that "treason Sliould bc made <>diorts , and .traitors shoaid he punished," doubtless now thought that the l>ost way tw raak** the leading traitors 'odious wis to put them in othcc. ns that was, probably, in the mind ni thc President-, the I>?ost way to ?Us gra<*e a man. Gen. Logan could not Widerstand s ?oh a Jtue of poliev, unless it was for the purpose of muk : ing loyalty' in the hind disgraceful, i and to inak? treason respectable.

States adopted it, the footsteps of their representative** shoidd never enter the threshold ol Congress, and if they wished to star ?sit in the cold. >?o far as representation is concerned. ^<> they might?' we could pet on with , out thom, us we did for four years. There was to IK? agreat assemblage in Philadelphia very soon; for the pur E*je of-what? Nothing more noi ?'ss than flt" destruction of the Uni?n organization nf this country, and put ting traitors into powe? iu this land. There would ht* soldiers there am i copperheads, but he [Gen.

Philadelphia Convention . : copper heads and traitors looked like, scheme for the President's re-election and that the men who would go ther , would go not as loyal citizens of th Government, hut as loyal only toon mau; uud if tho overturning-of th I Government were again attempted, i would bring about a revolution thu I would not commence like the last, b : gentlemen telling what they wer g??iitg to do. hut if would comment' j by the uprising of th?* whole America ! people, wh??s? vt??o would he hear and whose hands would be felt.

We extract the following fro ! John Mitchell's last letter to tl N'ew York X>:u s: Paris illuminated herself last nigh and, gleaming in th?> gas-light, we? more tri-color tk\gn than 1 thong] had existed in the whole world. Pe haps the rejoicings for a peace we premature, as 1 ?hall presently e plain; but, in thc meantime, it w? ' very nut ural that the French peop should feel proud ?>f the superb po? tion occupied at this moment by tlu country. In truth, theannounceme: in yesterday's Moniteur, that Austr makes n present of Venetia to tl Emperor of the French, and, nt tl same time, places herself in his han to proctire lier an honorable peace with the further statement that tl fcjntperor had at once communicab with Hie Kings of Prussia and ital with ft view to procure a cessation hostilities--al] this was very well ci ciliated to produce the impressi? that n general peace was already .good ns concluded. So, these d monstrative French folks set no lin to their enthusiasm. Behold Euro pacified, mul by the side influence ' France! behold thc glorious work 1H5'.1 completed in Italy, und withe , shedding ono drop of French blot Another magnificent provine.- dre pod into the hands of France, tl ?he may complete lier generous tu ' of completing the Italian kingdo : and without the horrors of a Magei 11 or ii Solferino! So the worthy 1 ' i risians draped their house? n I . burned gas without end. But there in no peace yet.

But supposing that -the Emperor SajK leon is really proposing a. gene? ral armistice, iu Germans oswell as iu Italy, \v*ith a viev. to brinn about a general pacification; and assuming that Prussia accepts, and enters iut<? negotiations, then comes in this other consideration. France, by receiving the handsome present of Venetia, and thereupon Rssuming-the part of advo? cate for Austria, is bound i<> obtain for her client an honorable peace; boulai to resist any pretensions of Prussia which would be too hnmihat? ing to her rival; bound, for example, to resist the avowed design of Prussia to exclude Austria from the new Ger- - munie body altogether*. And suppose that h?ng William, strong in his mi? litary successes-and with Bismark at his elbow-should not choose to yield the terms and conditions pres.-;- j ed by France -what then?

There are indications that the great . agricultural producers of the West ! are already alive to the benefits which j will redound to them, both in tina? ! and money, from the completion of I the Newport News Railroad and its ! connections, leading to the Jvfissis j sippi and its tributary streams. And not only are the shippers of the West I beginning to appreciate the superior > advantages of such a route to the sea.. j bnt Etiropean capitaliste, who ana {? iroverbially keen and far-sighted, are oohing to the windward of their I interests. The advent of the Ephesus j to our waters was nothing more than I un attempt, on the part of trans-At : lantic capital, to grasp tho coming trade by this fore-stalling effort. ! When it is reflected that upon the i completion of that line from Cinciu ? nati to the sea; of which the Newport ' News Roiul is a liuk, we shall then ; have a communication from the Ohio j to tho Atlant iv- over this route 1W) miles shorter than by any other, it I cannot be doubted what course West i ern trado and travel will take. Under the compulsion of interest, Western 1 producers will, of course, select a i route which will enhance the value of j their products by diminishing Ihe j cost of traiisportatiou. FROM CHARLESTON.-A fire occur j red, on Sunday night, in a closet ad j joiniug the milliner/ rooms of Mr?. Cotc-hett, on King street, over Reid's fancy store. Tho damage waa small, and mostly from water, as the fire j was soon extinguished. Another fire broke out yesterday ; morning, in a fruit-store on the bay, j occupied by Mazyck & Craeser, and 1 was still burning when the Grittier I wont to press. An inquest was held over the body of an old freed woman, found in au old well, at the race course. Three freedmen have been arreated on sus? picion of murder. NRGROES META-MOJRPHOSED INTO IK iuAN'a.-The New York Neirs says the negroes West of Arkansas, \*^? wei formerly held as ?laves by the Choctaws and Chickasaws, have been metamorphosed into Indians by thc terms of a recently promulgated treaty with the tribes mentioned. All negroes resident iu the nation are incorporated into the respective tribes, and are to have and enjoy all I the rights, privileges and immunities : enjoyed by the Choctaws and Chickn . saws themselves, including a forty I acre farm, aud the right of tribal mi I frnge. The funny part of it is, that while the negro, as negro, can claim the benefit of the civil rights bill, a? Choctaw he can't. In becoming an Iudiau, one of the real original Ja oobsee, he ceases to be n citizen of * the United States, and gets beyond the pale ofTadica! philanthropy. New Orleans has three or four timen aa man; negroes as it had before th?? war.
