Jackson in rapport of his views, and arguing that by the pre seAfisyqteui the will of the majority oethe people is liable to be defeated in their choice, the President argued in favor of the election of State Senator by the people instead of. by Legislatures, and limited instead of life tenure of Supreme Judges, and Jointing out the interest the Chief nstice and Vice-Pr?sident have in cases of Presidential impeachment, the President closes his argument oe follows: "Time, observation and ex? p?rience have confirmed these convic? tions, ahd as a matter of public duty, and with a deep sense of onr consti? tutional obligations, to recommend to. the consid?ration of Congress such measures as I deem necessary and expedient^ I submit the acconj panying propositions, and urge the:: adoption and Submission to the judg mont of the people." He proposei the following amendments to th? Constitution : The Presidential tern shall bo six years. States shall b< divided into equal districts, corres ponding with the number of Repre sentatives and Senators in Congress ftnd e*rth rTisfcrict 5h*U count as cn vote for President and Vico-Presi dent, respectively; persons in ead district receiving the highest num bor of votes from v?ters qualified t vote for the popular branch of th State Legislature, within said dh triot, receiving the vote of th district; these facts shall be cert flied to by tho Governors of th States tb Senators in Congress froi snob States, to the President of th Senate and Speaker of the Hons? The Federal Congress shall be i session on the second Monday i October, 18-, and every sixth ye* thereafter, and the President of tl Senate, both Houses being prc sen shall open and count the votes, au the persons receiving tho highe number of votes shall be Preside] and vice-President, respectively, they have a majority of tho vot .cast, otherwise a second election w occur between the two highest fi each office. If, at tho second eic tion, both should receive a like nut ber of votes of districts, the cane date receiving the highest number votes in the largest number of State shall be President, and the sar rules apply to the Vice-Presidoi But in case a second election shall neoessary for vice-President, b not for President, then tho Semi shall elect a vice-President from t two candidates receiving tho high number of votes of districts. ] President or vice-President shall eligible for a second term.

The negroes have sent de replies to the orders from civil off and agents of the Freedmen's Bu to disperse. Only a small squn soldiers were on the spot. A prominent feature of the D< eratic ratification meeting last ni was, that a number of Catholic gyraen and. two colored ropresi tivca of colored Democratic < were on the stand.

In tho Senate, tho rights c turalized citizens abroad wai cussed all day, interrupted or the reading of tho veto, and th sage of the Electoral College bi! withstanding-45 to 8-the Soi Senators, except.

Jones presented a bill extending the provisions of the laws passed July 4, 1884. limiting thn inriRrh>.tir?n nf th* Court of Cl ni ms over North Carolina ; which was referred to the Judioiary Committee. Vinnie Beam has beep restored to Her studio in the capitol, by a resolu? tion. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, asked leave to offer a resolution, requesting the Secretary of War to communicate to the House tho names of all per? sons under sentence of Military Com? mission or court-martial at the Dry Tortugas; the crimes with which such prisoners are oharged; and the names of the prisoners in confinement by order of Military Commissions at At? lanta, Ga,, and Charleston, S. C. Schofield, of Pennsylvania, objected. Eldridge then withdrew the resolu? tion. Lash and Bowen were scated. Mullins, opposing Bowen, said: '.Bowen was born in Ohio, and went to South Carolina ten or fifteen years ago; when the rebellion broke out, he voluntarily weut into Confederate service, and accepted tho commission of Captain. Ho was subsequently promoted Major-probably for his gallautry in shooting down Union men. While a Major, Mullins wa? reliably informed, Bowen killed hif rebel Colonel ; but of that ho woulc not complain; for this act, Bower was incarcerated and put in irons but was released when tho Federa troops advanced. Ho then had om of two things to do-either be hung or join the Federal forces. He di? tho latter, and Mr. M. was informe? by General Sickles himself, that ii the Federal army Bowen acted s badly, that ho had to be incarcerate! by tho Federal authorities. Whe: tho war was over, he became a radi cal, and adopted the faith of frai] Chiso for tho black man. He had n disposition to oppose the pardon c men who exhibited proper penitence but he would not reward treason b making these people rulers over ui as soon as they came back. H doubted much whether tho Hous was pursuing the proper policy i this matter. The Electoral Colley bill was passed-131 to 36. Seward has addressed a letter "3 whom it may concern," stating tht Congress, in June, 1868, passed a r< solution, proposing tho amendmei known as the 14th article, which 1 quotes. Seward states that the A of 1818 requires the Secretary i State to publish amendments wh< adopted; but no Act authorizes tl Secretary to determine and decii doubtful questions as to authentici of the organization of State Legisl tures, or the power of any State L gislaturo to recall previous ratifie tions. Twonty-threo States have ra fied tho ameudment, and also bodi avowing themselves as the Legis] tures of Arkansas, North Carolir Florida, Louisiana, South Carob and Alabama. It appears forth that Ohio and New Jersey have wit drawn their assent; but tho efficacy this withdrawal is doubtful. T whole .number of States is thirl seven. He then proclaims the amer ment adopted-provided the origil resolutions of Ohio and New Jurs nre voted, notwithstanding the wi! drawal. In vetoing tho electoral college b the President maintains that 1 Southern States were never out the Union, and asserts that they w practically and constitutionally stored previous to March, 18 Narrating the provisions of the Ci st i tnt ion, the President says: "*] joint resolution, by implicatiou least, concedes that these States w States by virtue of their organi tion, prior to tho vote of Mar 1867; but denied thom tho righi vote in the election of President i vice-President of the United Sta It follows cither that this assumpt of power is wholly unauthorized tho Constitution, or that tho Sti so excluded from voting were ou the Union by reason of their re lion; and have never been leg restored. Being fully satisfied I they were never out of the Un and. that their relations thereto h boen legally restored, I am force tho conclusion that tho joint res tion which deprives them of right to have their voto for Prasii and vice-President received counted, is in conflict with tho ( 8titutiou, and that Congress hat more power to reject their votes 1 thoso of tho States which havo 1 uniformly loyal to tho Federal Un It is worthy of remark, that if t States, whoso institutions were cently in rebellion, wero legally constitutionally organized and stored to their rights, prior tc 4th of March, 1867, as I am sati thoy wero, tho only legitimate ar rity under which tho votes ic olection for President and Vice sidont can be held therein, mui derived from tho governments i tuted for that period. The Presi proceeds to argue, that while people of tho Southern States not iu robellion, some peoplo ol Northern States wero in rebel and that tho pretext for exclusio ?lies logically and equally to ork and Virginia." Tho me concludes thus: "If Congress wi grovide that tho votes of none c tates Bhould be recoivod and c ed, if cast for a candidate wh fercd in political sentiment v majority of both Houses, such lation would be condemned b country ns an unconstitutional and revolutionary, usurpation of power. It would, however, bo exceedingly difficult ?o find in thc Constitution more authority for the passage of the joint resolution, under the Constitu? tion', than for an enactment looking to the rejeetion of all vote? not in accordance with the political prefer? ences d' n majority of Congress. No power exists in this Constitution au? thorizing the joint resolution or tho supposed law. The only difference being that one would be more palpa? bly unconstitutional and revolution? ary than the other; both would rest upon the radical error that Congress has the power to presoribe terms and conditions to the right of the people of the States to oast their votes for President and vice-President."

At 8 o'clock, last evening, the Democrats, according to previous notice, held a popular meeting at Davis* Hall. The simple announce? ment that Robert Toombs and How? ell Cobb would address the meotiug, was all sufficient to arouse tho heart of the Democracy. When the popu? lar favorites entered tho hall, they found at least 2,000 white men already there to greet the old cham? pions who led them in tho past, and they were greeted with a shout that had in it the "ringof the old metal." The enthusiasm was unbounded. When Mr. Toombs arose to address the assemblage, we can compare tho scene to nothing less than a stupend? ous camp meeting, where everybody is converted and vieiug with each other to seo who can shout the loudost. Mr. Toombs arose, ma? jestic us of yore, und entered at once upou tho ono great subject which had brought tho party together-tho ratification of tho New York nomi? nees. Tho highest encomiums were pronounced by the elegnnt speaker upon the nominees-Seymour and Blair. He had known them in tho past, and was willing to risk them in the future. General Blair had dis? tinguished himself in the armies of tho country. True, ho had fought against the South in war; but ho was now an advocate for peace-peace for the whole country. Radicalism, the greatest criminal tho world ever saw, is now on trial before the grand inquest of the Democratic party. Men of tho South should fly to the arms of Northern allies to assist in crushing the viper out of existence. Mr. Toombs spoke only about twenty minutes. His tone was much more moderate than we expected it would be, from what wo had heard of his usual style whon addressing the masses. Mr. Cobb's speech was moro lengthy. He made ono of his happi? est efforts, and addressed himself more particularly to the political issues now presented to the people of Georgia. Grant and the Chicago platform were seared with the fires of his indignation. Tho election of such a man, upon such a sot of principles, would bo the greatest calamity that could possibly befall the whole country. Members of the Legislature wore reminded that they would soon be called upon to elect men to represent Georgia in tho Senate of tho United States. Would they elect to that position a man whoso principles are in harmony with those enunciated by tho Chi? cago Convention? Would they elect a man who is willing to confess that a negro is equal to a white man in Georgia, but uuequal to a citizen of Ohio-a man who acknowledges his own infamy to the white population of the North? Ho advised them, by all moans, to vote for any good appointee of tho Governor to any of the judicial or other offices, but never for a man for anything who had assisted in tho building of the Chi? cago platform. Mr. Cobb's speech was received with enthusiastic cheer? ing. He made some capital hits, and we have not the slightest doubt that more than one radical member of the Senate of Georgia went to bed with "a flea in their ear." [Atlanta Constitution, lOUi. PARSON FRENCH BAS A VISION. The Columbia correspondent of that Sterling old journal, tho Charleston Courier, writing under date of the 16th, about the recent Senatorial canvass, in whieh the celebrated Parson French was an unsuccessful aspirant, tells the following incident, which bears repetition : Just here, because it finds a proper place in the history of this never to be forgotten soramble for unmerited honors, permit me to cite a case iu which either Providence or Parson French was sadly at fault. With the balloting of yesterday, fresh on tho tablets of his memory, and strength? ened by the persistency with which his twenty-four good virginal backers stuck to his cause, the immaculate Chaplain approached Mr. Sawyer, with countenance demure and an elaborate paper containing sixteen defined propositions >vhich he offer? ed for his mature consideration. I regret very much that the modesty of Mr. French has denied me the opportunity of spreading before you what must undoubtedly be one of the greatest State papers of the day; but I have ascertained enough to syuopiso as follows: "I, Mansfield French, candidate by tho choice of a large portion of the people for the distin? guished position of United States Senator, have, after prayerful invoca? tion of the aid of the Almighty, been convinced: First, That tho true in? terests of the people of this State, demand that they should bo repre? sented in the Senate by one of un? doubted loyalty, unquestioned ability and unimpeachable Christ ian virtues. Second, That I, Mansfield French, am thc individual referred to by Divine indication. Third, That all other contestants should, from con? siderations of patriotism and au ear? nest desire to see the material, social and political prosperity of South Carolina fully and freely advanced, immediately withdraw in my favor," and so on ad nauseam. Do not re? gard this allusion to the prouuueia mento of the spotless French, as a jest; it is hard, earnest fact, and the only surprising circumstance in con? nection therewith, is that Mr. Sawyer and his friends failed to perceive thc presence of the Divine inspiration suggested by Parson French, and re? fused to compromise. HENRY WARD BEECHER IN A HEAT. The Herald, of Saturday last, de? votes three columns to the effects of tho intense heat in that city, and in? cidentally tells tho following amusing anecdote of tho great seusationist, Henry Ward Beecher: "Even that brilliant and versatile politician and preacher, Kev. Henry Ward Beecher, it is related, did not disdain taking the cause of the ex? altation of the mercury in the tube as the text on which to found ono of his instructive semi-political dis? courses. Entering the pulpit on an excruciatingly hot Sabbath morning, his congregration 'numerous' as usual, he slowly advanced to tho desk, the thumb aud fore-finger of his sinister hand inserted between the collar of his shirt aud the cuticle of his thorax, and while he vainly essayed to koop these at a respecta? ble distance-i. e. tho throat and the collar-tho 'sisterhood' seated before him, meanwhile, assiduously fanning their blushing, peach-like cheeks, he opened his mouth and said, in those soft, clear aud yet resonant, tones, so peculiar to him when wholly self-pos? sessed, 'Brethren and sisters, it is d-d hot!* "On the instant, tho fans wero sus? pended in mid-air, and several of the 'sistern' came near going into a state of coma or hysterics, (which is not tho same thing,) while tho more pions of tho 'brethering,' with a cry of horror, sprang to their feet, and there stood, like so many statues, while tue perspiration, streaming from every square inch of their bodies, rippled as it fell to tho floor in little streams towards the desk, concentrating upou it in one great volume, as though they would wash out forever the very emphatic adjec? tive which the groat apostle of Ply? mouth Church had just uttered. Tho self-possessed teacher did not seem to notice the state of consternation into which ho had thrown his audience, and as, for the second time, he jerked at tho flacid collar of linen, he repeat? ed, 'Brethren and sisters, it is d-d hot! Such,' hq continued, in mea? sured speech, 'were tho profauo words that not an hour since saluted my ear within the very shadow of this temple, dedicated to -.' Hero the reverend gentleman was inter? rupted by a chorus of 'Ohs!' from tho ladies, who re-commenced tho operation of fanning, while the gen? tlemen, in unison, as they slowly re? sumed their seats, oried 'Ah!' iu swelling, organ-like tones. "It is said that on that Sunday a sermon was preached at Plymouth Church that edified the multitude 'muchly,' making glad the hearts of those who, oven to this day, canuot approve of the text, as it was some? what 'warm.' " From the Zeitung, we learn that three members of the Charleston 1 delegation to the New York Sch?tz? enfest, were honored with prizes, viz: ? Messrs. J. C. H. Claussen, Tork and F. Wehmann. FIRE ON MOUNT PLEASANT.-On Friday morning, about 2 o'clock, the building on Mount Pleasant, situated on the iront beach, and belonging to the estate of tho late John Seigling, waa discovered to be on fire. Prompt measures were resorted to by the i Lowus-peopio to subdue the flames, but without avail; and iu u short time the entire building and out? houses, together with tho adjoining out-houses on the lot of Mr. Carri?re, were completely consumed. It is not known how the fire originated, but there aro good reasons for supposing it the work of an incendiary. The house and out-buildings of the estate of Seigling, were insured for $2,000, in one of the agencies in this city. We learn that the out-houses of Mr. Carri?re were not insured, and the damage suffered by that gentleman amounts to about $700, which is a total loss.-Charleston Courier, 20th. COTTON FTRE IN NEW YORK.-The New York Tribune, of the lGth inst., says: "About ll o'clock last evening, a fire broke out in Cyrus Olmstead'i two-story ""storage warehouse, Nos. 502, 504 and 500 Washington street There were iu tho place 1,500 bales of cotton, principally owned ty Sawyer, Wallace <fc Co., of No. 41 Broad street.
