CUU? or the North. The Richmond 7??nes has the fol? lowing cutting remarks: On tho Fourth of July, ? patriotic Urchin threw a pop-cracker into a carpenter's shop, in the beautiful oity of Portland, and from thence arose a mighty conflagration, which de? voured "150 acres of public and pri vato.'tfnildings."- -"--I : _ Tho . calamity waa appalling?- and a relief committee of the leading men. of tho unfortunate city are appealing to humane people, North os well as South, for contributions of money and provisions 'to ike thousands who have losfr everything.". The committee assert that tho Uta maa by far tue most "calamitous that has ever occurred on this continent," Never "before "were- a people wo ter? ribly scourged as those of Portland. " We sincerely hope that these appeals will not be made In vain to'th?'chari table.. people of the United States. But the members of the relief com? mittee cannot .jr ntl)! tilly claim for .Portland a monopoly of the terrible "suffering inflicted by ?reat CO?flagra tions. Atlanta was. as large and flourishing a city as Portland, and yet, after the Confederates had evacu? ated it, it was burnt down in cold blood by Sherman. Its inhabitants, were ?ot even allowed the miserable privilege of lingering near the ruins of their once happy homes, but were driven forth by tjie destroyer. The humane and charitable North greatly honors Sherman for this splendid act pf- Christian generalship, which de? prived 20,000 people of their homes. The city of ( -cdnmbia was almost as populous and a far more beautiful city than Portland, but that city was destroyed byHhe infuriated soldiery of the destroyer of. Atlanta, Charleston was a cirv of twice the population of Portland*, yet for two years after its fortifications rendered its capture impossible, the Federals exhausted the resources of modem warfare to reduce the city to ashes, and left that lovely city a hideous and unsightly ruin. . Rome, Fredericksbnrg, aud a score of other beautiful Southern towns were ruthlessly destroyed during the war, and a mere list of burnt villages and hamlets would fill the editorial columns of this paper. If Gen. -Sherman, for the benefit of the "unhappy city of Portland," will deliver a lecture upon the "burnt cities, towns and villages of the South," l?e will .satisfy the public that he inflicted with tho torch a thousand times moro suffering upon the Southern people than Portland has suffered. The pretensions of the boy who fired Portland with a pop cracker to be regarded as a more re? nowned incendiary than Sherman, is absurd. The Richmond Examiner pays the following tribute to Gen. Sherman : Sherman is taking a tour for the purpose of being congratulated on his public services. He makes speeches ou all occasions that offer, and tho staple of all his remarks is himself. No doubt the subject is very interesting to himself, but we doubt whether it is so interesting to his hearers. Wo have no respect for Sherman. We detest him. We kuow of no armed ruffian iu tho history of the world who has performed more atro? cities thau lie has. When we reflect upon the burning of Columbia, we have a loathing for the very name of Sherman. History records many de? vastations, but wo find none whose deeds of desolation exceed those committed by the vain and heartless | wretch, who, beginning witli the de? struction of Atlanta, and making a waste and ruin throughout his line of march, ended with the pitiless burn? ing of South Carolina's most beauti? ful city. The barbarous ages of the ! world will have to bo hunted to find a parallel to his infamous march through Georgia and the Carolinas. ALTERATION'S DJ THE WHTTE HOUSE. The White House is ut present under? going repairs and alterations. The room hitherto used as tho ante-room is being fitted up for the use of the President, as his reception room, in the future. Tho partition that for? merly divided the room, to form a screened passage from the West wing to the late Executive Chamber, lias been removed, and a blind door will be placed at the entrance to the hall entrance, to permit a free circulation of air. The room hitherto used by tho Pre? sident as au audience chamber w ill be fitted up to receive tho President s secretaries, and tho room formerly occupied by them will be devoted to j the use of the Executive clerks. j Thus, all of tho officers are brought into connection, which will prove much moro advantageous and conve? nient than when separated from each other by halls or passages. The ante-room for the use of the ladies who are waiting to see the Pre? sident, will henceforth be the room opposite the one formerly used hythe President, und will bo much larger, lighter and cooler than the room pre? viously used for that purpose.

The material taken amouuts in valno to 850,000. r .?iiiiiTirr mn ll? -r A CoavertatSon witt President John A gentleman who had a free con? versation -wtth Prerideiit *John SOn, a short-time since, informs ns that ho found bim hopeful, in good spirits, and unhesitating ia the expression of his views, fie does not anticipate anything like a Democratic majority in the next House of Representatives, though the number of representatives of that party will doubtless be con? siderably increased. But he does 'count confidently on the return of a majority of moderate men, who will be prepared to deal? with the people of the Sooth, as all honorable and high-minded nations deal with their antagonists alter Laving, beaten and disarmed them. And in districts and ! States where the Republican party I fail to nominate such men, he thinks D?mocratie candidates will be likely, ; in a majority of cases, to be elected over radicals. L "'ix ? President ia unhesitatingly of ! tl e oj ?inion that the only safety of tho nation lies in a generous and ex fiaxnire plan of conciliation, and the o riger this is delayed the more difficult will it be to bring the North and the South in harmony. If the suspicious, tyrannical policy is too long pursued, the population of the I South will become as hostile in time to the North, as the people of Ire I land are towards England, adding to this evil of hereditary and growing animosity an ability for revenge a hundred-fold greater that Ireland possesses. In regard to the blacks, tho Presi? dent says they will find work enough, and for many years to come probably better remuneration than any other class of agricultural laborers in the country. The competition of capi? talists and land-owners will insure good treatment and good pny from the placers. That there will be much disorder is to be expected; but there will be no more than there would be at the North, were the number of black laborers sufficiently numerous to enter into serious rivalry with the white laborera The President ia confident that nothing can be safely and perma? nently done in regard to restoring tho currency, diminishing taxation, and establishing the prosperity of the country on a sound and enduring basis, until representativas from all the States, are present in Congress. The idea of legislating for one-third of the population of the country, and passing constitutional amend? ments without allowing them any voice in the matter, or paying any attention to their wishes, is full of danger to tho future peace and wel? fare of the nation. They cannot bc treated as a subjugated people or as vassal colonies, without a germ of hatred being introduced which will some day or other, though the time : may bo distant, develop mischief of tho most serious character. With regard to the basis of repre? sentation, he denounces this as a mere bugbear. It cannot and it will not be permanently settled until all the States are represented, anti no 1 increase in the numbers of represen? tatives in consequence of the emanci? pation of the slaves can in any event occur until the census of 1870 is taken, until which time, of course, the three-fifths provision is in forco under the last census. There is, therefore, ample time to settle this matter between now and 1870, and it is unwise to agitate it until other matters which cannot be delayed are Bottled. - The President does not admit that he has been inconsistent. He is os much opposed to treason and traitors as ever ho was, and for punishing them severely. Bat there is no treason and no traitors now. The enemy has fully and fairly surrender? ed, and is powerless; and a foe thus situated should be magnanimously treated. A generous and self-reliant warrior, always restores his disarmed enemy his sword, and trusts his parole of honor. - The idea of muzzling the press and tying the tongues of the people of the South, after the manner of the. suspicious tyrants and the Holy Inquisition of tho Old World, he denounces as absurd. A people should be allowed to grumble who havo suffered so much; and they would be unworthy the name ol' men, if they did not respeet the bravo officers who have suffered with them, and honor the memory of their gallant dead who sleep on a hundred battle-fields around their homes. [Boston Evening Commercial. Gov. SHORTER AND THK PHILADKE PHIA CONVENTION.-Ex-Go v. John Gill Shorter, of Alabama, has written a letter to tho President of the Na? tional Union Club at Washington, iu which he acknowledges the receipt of a copy of tho call for the Philadel? phia Convention, and adds: "Having been identified with the secession party until the close of the late unfortunate civil war, and be? lieving that I fully comprehend their animus, past and present, I avail my? self of this opportunity to say that I they will, in my opinion, hail with \ satisfaction this avowal for the har? monious co-operation of all sections in support of the President's just and wise policy for restoring the federal relations of all the States of the Union."

The Moscow Gazelle says: Kassia does not desire any change in tho present state of things iu Europe. If Austria and Prussia will render them? selves tools of France, Russia can uo longer depend ou them us heretofore. Venetia, without Rome, would con? stitute no progress for Italy, and the submission o? Austria to France is *not advantageous, but dangerous to the European equilibrium. The su-, premacy of Prussia in Northern Ger? many narrows that of Russia in the Baltic Russia's love of peace does not sanction efforts to attain supreme power. England's' interests may make her Seek" an alliance with France and Austria on the Eastern question, but tho dictatorship of France in Italy aud Germany cannot meet with her support. All soldiers on furlough in Russia have been call? ed in, and every day military trains start from Warsaw to the frontier of Silesia and Galicia. ' THE CESSION* OB VENE'I I A. - A despatch from Florence, July 13, says: The Court of Berlin has de? clared to the Italian Cabinet that an armistice ou the basis of the cession of Venetia is admissible (inadmissi? ble.) The Italian Government, in ? reply, is said to have, announced its resolntion to continue offensive ope? rations against the Austrian Emperor without relaxation, in conformity with the engagement mutually enter? ed into by Prussia aud Italy, until both powers have obtained from Aus? tria satisfactory terms for the conclu? sion of peace. CONDITIONS Ol" AN* ARMISTICE. . The Naci<m, of Flore neu, of July 1 12, publishes a statement of the eon- j ditions for an armistice stipulated by j Prussia and Italy. The former power i demanded the exclusion of Austria I from the Germanic Confederation. J The Naci?n adds: This w?is admitted by France, who undertook to obtain the assent of the Vienna Cabinet to the evacuation by Austria of the Ans- j trian provinces occupied by Prussia : during the armistice. On tho part of j Italy, the conditions were the cession ; of the Italian Territories under Ans- i trian dominion, including the Italian j portion of the Tyrol. Austria was to make the cession direct to Italy with ont compensation, and not to raise the Roman question during the nego? tiations for peace, lt appears that these conditions have been lound in- i admissible at Vienna, and that the Austrian Government has resolved to ! try tho fortunes of war.

The following is from tho organ of Sena? tor ?Si:unisr, in Massachusetts: THE 4 ?tiygTDENCY OF THE SENATE. . Iii view of tito possibilities of the near future, and the w?akuess o? the present incumbent, is it not desirable that ive have some chango in the officer who presides over the Sonate? Mr. Foster, tho present iuouuibent, has tho confidence of few. Those who believe in his party integrity do not have fuith in his courage. A majority of Senators doubt both. Senator Foster, I have reason to know, has been offered a .foreign misti?oh when ids tenn is completed, on the sirrgle condition of his re? maining quiescent in the Senate, whatever may occur. Mr. Foster-has accepted! Were it not ? mere ques? tion of etiquette, a false idon of deli? cacy, the Senate majority would immediately elect another president. Senators Sherman, of ( >hio, Anthony, of Rhode Island, and Pomeroy, of Kansas, ure candidates. ( ti the three tho lutter is the best, because most trnly radical, lint the ?aaain view of the possible emergency is Senator Wade. Ho has the requisite ability, skill, and, "above all, the courage.

[New Yuri.- Express. -? ?? ? >- - TYINC Till". PRESIDENTLVE H ANDS. Short-sighted and petty, indeed, must bo thc minds ol' public mea who cannot se;' that disgust ruther than satisfaction will bo excited by their ellbrts to forbid President Johnson's exercising the executive right of re? moval from offiee in thc interval be? tween tho present session of Congress and the next. The matter was tho? roughly discussed in un ? ?illy Admin? istration, and tliti President's prero? gative, derived, like the legislative authority ot Congress, from the Con? stitution, was tlu n conceded on u.11 sides. Since then, the practice Im? abundantly confirmed that, early de? cision of the men who took part in the framing of tho Constitution and in setting it in operation. At first, thc power of removal by the Presi? dent extended to judicial us well ai executive officers of the Government but that was afterwards changed, thc reason being that, since the Presi? dent was responsible to tho country only for tho conduct of the Executivf Department of the Government, and not of the Judicial, much less of the Legislativo, he ought to have anc should 1 \ tn ?disoluto power of re moval. lu th; icson's Administration, tin hampering proeess was again tried, and a great stir was made over his re moval of Secretary Duane; but aftei all the debate and excitement, it wai conceded by leaders in the opposi tion, like Mr. Webster, that Presiden Jackson had exercised n<> other righ than one which was his under tin Constitution. But the resth . s anc reckless radicals of to-day seriously propose to legislate so as to forbit President Johnson's making a singl< removal.
