-COLUMBI^. ?$aw&ty-a2^ SKB^^Momiiig, September 83,1866 Elect ionec ring-Irish. CaMliWiwy We ace it stated that a delegation of Irish citizens waited upon Presi? dent Johnson on Tuesday last, and stated their grievances and theil wishes, saying that they had to choose between the radicals and their life-long friends, the Democrats. They wished some change in the Cabinet, and denied that they had ever eommitted- tseaso? against Eng? land. They- adte* io* * netr Minister to England, in place of Mr. Adams, and suggested that - the Alabama claims^be pressed-which, of course, would-be an-admirable means of in? volving this country in a war with Great Britain. They wound up by declaring that there were 750,000 Irish voters in this country, and asked that this fact should be re? membered in parcelling out the offices in the gift of the Government. We think tho Fenian Brotherhood has been most wof ully misrepresented in such an application as that nar? rated. We are glad to see that the President replied sensibly. He felt, ho said, the force of their sugges? tions, and avowed that he was strong? ly tinctured with sympathy for the Irish, and would do all that could be done for them. And now for the consistency of all this. These Irishmen, with theil 750,000 votes, aver that they had not committed treason against England. Did not many of them swear, and act upon the allegation, that the peo? ple of the Southern States commit? ted treason against the Government, because they took up arms in de? fence, as they supposed, of theil constitutional rights. Their case ii precisely parallel, and & little be yond, on the part of the South, a this moment. Ireland is represente* in tho British Parliament-the South ern States^ paying their share of th? taxation, aro denied reprcjgentatioi in tho Parliament of this country the Congress. We wish all success to a people ii their struggles for liberty-we woul< be glad to seo Ireland freo from th "British yoke," as Irishmen aro fail to call the union of their ^ountr with England; but, at the same time we cannot avoid noting that some o thc- leading so-called Irish patriots Shields, Meagher, Corcoran an> others-enlisted to put down a "rt hellion" of a people who desire t havo a Government of their ow framing. This is Irish consistency with a vengeance. Thc President did not commit hii? self in the above interview and we ar glad he did not. He knows full we himself to day, as the great pacif?cate aud restorer of tho Union of thes States, that the people of Ireland politically speaking, i re a thousan tim os better off than ur "> the peopl of the oppressed and excluded Stat? of the South. Tho evils of the forme are for thc most part sentimental an imaginary, while those of the latte aro positive and real. Consistency. The following Act, passed on tli 4th March, 18G2, stands unrepealei "CHAP. XXXVI.- An Act Fixing t) Number of the House of Represent* tires, from and after the third < March, eighteen hundred and sixt\ three. "Be il enacted by the Senate ai House of Representatives of the Uni ti Slates of America, in Congre?* a sembled, That from and after tl third day of March, eighteen hundrc aud sixty-three, tlie number of men, hers of Ute House of Representatives thc Congress of the United shall he li hundred andforty-one; and tho eig! additional members shall be assigne ono each to Pennsylvania, Obi Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesot Vermont and Bhode Island. "APPROVED March 4, 1862." And yet, Thad. Stevens and 1 confreres in the House, repudiate tl Act, by saying that the Southe States are'not entitled to their rig! in that body, and deny admission seventy representatives, in the tee of"the above enactment. A disloyal radical sheet in Indin apolis, shortly before the arrival President Johnson in that city, iu mated that it would bear "with situation" any "dispensation Providence" that would remove P sident Johnson. These, says t Albany Argus, are tho men tl howl about the New Orleans rio They shoot white men in cold bio at Indianapolis, and invite the mi derer* to assassinate the President The New York Maas Meeting. Tho Now York papera, of Tuesday, give full particulars of tho immenso mass mect 1 ing which was held in Union Square, of that city, om Monday evening. The WorVl says that there never \?as a grander ga? thering ia tho city. From tho World'* ro pdft, wo extract tho following: Union Square and tho surrounding streets were crowded, last night, with a hundred thousand of tho many true and loyal mon of this metropolis who want tho Union restored, and want it restored ut once; who want self-government, by con? sent through representation, to continue to prevail in these States, and who do not proposo to subject their liberty to the risks involved in the establishment here of any other sort of government whatever-either a dictatorship or a despotism by rump Congresses. Tito surroundings and decorations of the meeting were quito unequalled as a specta? cle, and speakers of known repute address? ed the thronging thousands from vsrious stands-otu* gallant standard-bearer, John T. Honman, Gen. Dix, Samuel J. Tilden and Judge Comstock, of Syracuse, among tho number. The enthusiasm with which the former was greeted was tremendous. But belter than tho speakers, or tho bands, or tito blazing fire-works, was the sight of tho thronging thousands who gathered under the statue of Washington, and pledged an invincible determination to put down, Mcally and forever, tho last enemies of the Union which ho aud thc fathers hamed. New York cries aloud to all the nation. Put dow? tho last enemies of tho Union. Let tho nation hear and heed. Gen, Dix, who had expected the nomina? tion which Mr. Hollman received from tue State Convention, was tho first speaker. He took strong ground in favor of sup? porting tho President, his policy, and his friends. The resolutions passed embraced he fol? lowing excellent ones: Resolved. That we regard it as tho great felicity and chief distinction of the Ameri? can people that they aro governed by a written Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, and that thc; co-ordinate branches of the Federal Government, the legislative, tho executive and the judicial, have no powers except those derived from that instrument; while the declaration hy? the majority of the present Congress that the late civil war has invested them with the irresponsible powers of military con? querors, and that they recognize no rules except those by which the conquering sove? reigns of Europe have been accustomed to tyrannize over subjugated nations, is ab? horrent to every lover of Constitutional Government, and if acquiesced in, will re? duce GjOOO.OOO of American citizens to the condition of subjugated aliens, and con? vert ten States into ten Polands, ten Hun garies or ten Irelands. Resolved, That Congress, by an Act de? fining treason and its penalties, expressly conferred upon tho President of the United States tho right to exempt from punish? ment, by proclamation of amnesty and pardon, those who had committed acts ut treason or resisted the authority of tin. United States; that, iti compliance with the authority so conferred, President John? son, at the end of the civil war, issued y proclamation of amnesty and pardon which, under tho laws of nations and th? common law of the land, rehabilitated tin Southern people included in ita provision: in all their rights; and that to disregan this solemn amnesty, which in all civilized nations, would be deemed an "oblivion ti all oirenecs," to persist in their disfran chisement, taxation without representa tion, threatened confiscation, and tho im position of every badge of servitude, is ai outrage on humanity and a violation of tin national honor. Resolved, That the preciso and clear!; defined issue now before tho American peo pie is whether they will elect a Congres; that will respect the imperative command of the Constitution, as to Senators, llopre sentatives, and Presidential electors, o whether they will continue a congrossiona majority in power which gives no guaran tee that it will not by conditions preceden that multiply with the exigencius of party not only indefinitely exclude. States fron the Union, but overthrow our form of go vernment itself. Resolved, That we are profoundly grate ful that Andrew Johnson, in bis high office untempted hythe proffer from Congress i almost despotic power, has maintaine that love for the Constitution of our father which characterizes the true American citi zen; and that in his masterly State paper and familiar conversations with thc peoph ho has demonstrated that he not only cou: prebends the Constitution, but that, tm to his oath of office, he will preserve, pr? tect, and defend it. " Mayor Hoffman then came forwan The whole assemblage burst into the mos tremendous cheering, accompanied b waving of hats and caps, and with ever demonstration of unrestrainablo entlius asm; cheer upon cheer rose for several m ?utes, the cannon opportunely roared ot in unison, and tho band added its accon ant notos to tho triumphant shout. Froi this side and that there carno cries < "Throe cheers for Hollinan," which wei always responded to until tho desire t hear tho voice of tho next Governor ove canto tho enthusiasm at his presence. M Hoffman spoke as follows: My fellow-citizous-["Three cheers fi tho Governor of Nea- York." A grei shout.] I feel that 1 am at home, ami sn rounded by tens of thousands of my friend [Tremendous cheering, "That's so; that so."] I rejoice at this vast assemblage the American people, gathered togeth ou this anniversary of the adoption of tl American Constitution, to ratify and e dorse tho policy founded upon that Coi stitution, and to denounce a policy at wj with it, and with tho best interests of o common country. [Choets.J I rejoice th this is the second time witniu a few da when tho people of this metropolis ha given expression to their opinions upi the great issue of the day. [Applause.

Tho power to keep Stal out of Congress. If they have tho po er to keep States out of the Union, to kc them out of Congress, they have tho pow to put them out of tho Union, and to j them out of Congress. ICbeers, "Tba so."] That, fellow-citizens, is a ph statement of tho principles. Ifapohti majority in Congress can deny to ouoSti representation in Congress, it can exclu another whenever its representation is i in harmony within its own views; ami te ing the Congress by this principle, if tl now say and declare that the people of t Southern States, when submissive to the Constitution, are not hryal, I ask them to let them in, ami if they turn out not to bo so? then turn them out. (Cheers. J Now, fc?ow-citizons, I have said moro than 1 intended to say herc to-night. ["Go on, goon."] I have made a fledge to speak at ?.very stand around tho park to-night, and I mean to keep it.

After disposing of Miine general busi? ness, the Convention was brought to a close by singing the doxology, and a hene dictio.i*. The correspondent of the National Intelligencer, from whose letter we have condensed the above, says: "The closing scenes of this Convention wore grand and impressive beyond all description. The whole proceedings had been dignified and orderly, bullmore enthusiastic than any but a body of soldiers could make. them. POLITICAL RIOT IN Hissorm-BLOOD sHF.ii.--A St. Louis despatch says: After thc adjournment of the Platte County Radical Convention, at Platt?- City, Missouri, ?>:I Saturday, a drunken Union soldier, named Dunuegan, made some noise on the street, and flourished a pistol about, when Sheriff Ogdon took his pistol away and told him to be quiet. A'shorl time afterward, it is alleged, a returned rebe!, named Callahan, and Officer I Marshall, with a posse nf ten men, de- i manded thc surrender of Dunuegan. A : scoble ensued and pistols were freely I Used, result mg in tim death of three or I four men and thc wounding of eight or ten others. A number of the delegates who had started for home, hearing the tiring, re? turned to town, and were fin d on, anil several of their horses killed under them. Callahan is said to have tired twice at ono delegate who was lying under his wounded horse, and was tired on in return and killed.

SODA, Milk, Butter, Lemon and (linger Snaps, received this day. Sept 23 JOHN C. SEEGERS & CO. The Herald to the President? The New York Herald, of Watta vs ?<lay, in a leading editorial, gives tho following advice to the President: Since the appalling tragedy where? by Andrew Johnson becania Pre? sident of the United States, wo have cordially supported him and his Southern policy against tho extreme reconstruction programme of thc Northern radicals. From recent events, however, South and North, including the New Orleans massacre, tho Maine election and tho President's Western excursion, and from all tho passing indications of Northern pub? lic opinion, we are satisfied that, in opposing the constitutional amend? ment adopted by Congress, Mr. John? son, in tho approaching Northern elections, will be defeated. In the widening of his conflict with the radicals to a conflict with Congress, he has evidently been very unfortu? nate, and, in the further prosecution of this contest, there is but a gloomy prospect of his ultimate success. ? As a man of the people, therefore, as- a believer in the doctrine of a cheerful submission to the will of the people, and, as a sworn defender of the Federal Constitution, President Johnson, in our view of the present crisis, has but one course to pursue. It is to take up the constitutional amendment, now before the people of the North, and push it through all the still excluded Southern States as rapidly as possible, so that, during the approaching hist session of the present Congress, those States may be reinstated in both houses. In this way, tho Northern radicals and South? ern radicals may bo speedily silenced and put down, with the practical re? storation of the Union on a solid ?ind satisfactory constitutional foundation. A little pressure upon the Governors of the Southern States concerned, like that which was applied in behalf of the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, will do the work in regard to this new amendment, anti when done by Virginia, South Caro I linn, or Texas, these States will sundy meet with the recognition and re? admission into Congress accorded to Tennessee. ANOTHEK RADICAL ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY -THE RADICAL PLATFORM. A special from New York to the Wash? ington Republican, states that the National (radical) Union Committee have issued a long address to the American people, signed by dov. Wart!, of New Jersey, chairman, and the representativos of every Northern State and those of Delaware, Mary? land, Tennessee, West Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Virginia and Florida. Thc committee recommend the fol? lowing live conditions of reconstruc- i tion : First, that all persons born or nat u ral i zed in this country are hence? forth citizens; second, that represen? tation shall hereafter be based on the number of the people, of whatever mee or color; third, that rebels shall not hold office until Congress .shall remove the disability; fourth, the j national debt shall not be suspended; I fifth, Congress shall have power to enforce the above. The committee* lind encourage? ment in the recent elections in Maine ] j and Vermont, and expect their j friends ia other States to go and do J likewise. GENERAL G KANT'S VIEWS.-Thc New York Keening Post, of Monday, says : General Grant lias authorized ai writer, whose letter appears in another part of this sheet, to make a statement of his views on public affairs. It is j to the following effect: That next to the President, he is the head of the I anny of the United States-not the j leader of a political party; that he | does ni il consider the army a placel for a politician; that ho will not per- j mit himself to be committed to any party, and that the army shall not ! lie mailea political machine. THE INDIA COTTON CHOP.?-Advices from India via England predict that the cotton crop of that country the preseut year will show a material fulling off as compared with the year i just closed, the inducements to plant, so far as tho price is concerned, not being so groat, and the recent panic in England, which seriously disturb? ed money relations with India in connection with cotton, aiding asa check to the free and unrestricted growth of the staple. (Jen. Geo. N. Moody, a brother of ? the Rev. Geo. Granville Moody, was shot dead by an nuknown assassin, in his office ut Port Gibson, Missis? sippi, on Saturday night. Gen. Moody had lived tn Port Gibson for twenty-nine years. He was a lawyer j by profession, and had attained wealth and eminence. He served four years in the rebel army, com? manding the artillery in Longstreet's j corps. The Knoxville Commercial pub- ' lishes the official record of tho in? dictment and trial and conviction of NV. G. Brownlow for libel, in the Su? perior Court of Macon County, N. C., in ls:W. lt is a long time since, and would not weigh much against! him, if his subsequent life had shown | any improvement. As it i?, it shows j a lawless disposition, which has only intensified. An English writer says, "President Johnson has done more public busi? ness in one year than Queen Victoria has done in twenty-nine." and has done it bettor. COBTOBATION NOTES NOT TAXABLE. -It has been decided that the issues of corporate bodies (outside of bank? ing institutions) do not come under the ten per oent. tux. A city or town can therefore issue bills of circulation at pleasure, and the same be as free from taxation as the universal green? back. NORTHEN PBEACHEBS ON A STBIKE. -A number of the ministers of the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, recently held a meeting iu Sabini, and resolved, after earnest discussion, that they would decline taking appointments the ensuing year unless they were assured a salary of at least $1,000. Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, re? ports in his annual address that the theological department of the Ver? mont Episcopal Institute is withont students. The Treasurer also says in his report: "There are no young men in the diocese looking forward to tho ministry, or preparing to enter it." George Peabody has recently been at Fort Mills, in Thetford, Vt., on a visit to an aged aunt residing there, and has given the citizens of the vil? lage ?5,000 for a library; $2,000 is to be a permanent fund, the interest to be expemled yearly in the purchase of books. A library building is to be erected immediately. Colonel Benjamin H. Smith, Demo? cratic and Conservative candidate for the Governo rship of West Virginia, has challenged Governor Boorman to discuss tho political siuation through? out the State. Boorman sent word in rci>Iy that ho was "not prepared to make any answer." Lord Derby, who has been in oflice two months, has already had tho nomination to four judgeships, a bishopric, two garters, and two lord lieuteuaucies, while he has created six poors, three baronets, and a dozen privy councillors. The excitement ot Madison, Ind., consequent on the President's visit, did not at once subside on his depart? ure. Later in the day there was somewhat of a row on the levee. Tho Johnson men's cannon was thrown into the river. The London Times 'thinks that Italy can get along very well with the Poppas Chief Bishop of Rome, the temporal power being abandoned; and i indines to the belief that the Italians would not fix their capital at Koine under any circumstances. A Western young lady, while on her way to be married, was run over and killed. A confirmed old maid sagely and savagely remarked, "She has avoided a more lingering and horrible destiny." The Montgomery Advertiser esti? mates the population of that city at 1(5,(100, of whom one-half are pre? sumed to be colored, leaving a resi? d?an of ?,000 whites. Fremont has five mon and a wheel? barrow at work on the South Branch Railroad in Missouri. An exchange says li?; will put it through if it ruins the wheelbarrow. The annual consumption of intoxi? cating liquors in England amounts to 6100,000.000. This consumption produces nine-tenths of the crimes. A radical paper in Michigan calls Doctor B. F.

LIVELY TIMES IN NEW YOBS.-The New York correspondent or the Philadelphia Ledger writes, under date of the loth in? stant: It is a long while sinco the city was so animated as it is at present. There is no running off out town now on Saturdays, the hot weather being disposed of, and, for the first time in a long while, thc mansions nf the rich folks in the up town avenues are thrown open for parties, receptions and the like. Next week, at 1er st half a dozen fashionable weddings aro on the tupis; and Drown, tho Grace Church sex? ton, says bc is kept as busy as a bee, night and day, preparing cards, sending out in? vitations, Ac. A great deal is making of Madame Ristori, but as yet nobody lias been fortunate enough to induce ber to accept an invitation to "spend the even? ing. Politics interfere with fashion a little, in so far as thc masculine gender aro kept out late of nights attending mass meetings; but as the country must bo at? tended to as well as fashion, the politics must bo endured. The merchants generally give a good account of the fall trade, which is still very active. Some of the dry goods houses have their clerks and employees at work until long after midnight niling orders. The Charleston and Savannah steamers leiving to-day had to refuse some freight. The hotels are all full and running over, from thc big bouses iii Broadway down to tho little roosting places in Courtland meet. The same observation holds good is to tho theatres and other places of pub? lic amusement. In short, everybody is busy, and everybody, for once, is making money.
