Governor Hamilton’s message to the State convention ealls attention to the absolate re- quirement of the General Government tonch- ing the doctrine of absolute State sovereignty, the abolishment of slavery, the right of the blacks to testify in the courts of justice, and to be protected in persou and gis ot and the repudiation of the rebel debt. In the conven- tion, Judge Latemer, froin Red rivet, mtro- Cueed the following resolution, the substance of which has betore been given: The people of Texas, in convention assembled, ordsin vod declare the so-calied ordinance of secession, xdopted by the so-called convention ot the State of Texas, at the city of Austin, Febraary 1, 1°61, and all the acts, and proceedings of tre said so-called conyention. shall be, and the same are declared to have been null aud youd, and ofno effect whatever troi the date of their tion; and do hereby further declare that neither the State of Texas nor any other State of the Federal Uniow has the right in the Constitution of the United Siates to secede or withdraw from the Union. A motion of Judge Frazer to lay the resolution oa the table was lost—yens 45. A substitute was offered by Ju kk, deciaring the seces- sion ordinance revolutionary, and therefore void. The resolution and substitute was re- terred.

The Committee of Courts, in the House of Delegates of Virginia, to whom was referred the resolution requesting} Senator Underwood t) resign, reported asubstitate yesterday, de- claring that his efforts to procure the over- throw of the State goverament was wholly inconsistent with the duties of his position, and meets with the unquatitied reprobation of the (yeneral Assembly. No action was taken. The Governor sent a communication to the Legislature yesterday, nominating three judges of the Court of Appeals, and fitteen circuit judges. The nominations are generally ap- proved by the conservative members of the Legislature; but a decided opposition to one or owe of the names is anticipated. The House of Delegates yesterday decided that the Adjutant General of the Commonweaith, heretofore ap- pointed by the Governor should be elected by the General Assembly. The bank at Liberty, Clay county, Mo., was robbed on Tuesday afternoon of $70,000. Twelve men entered the towm abont 2 o'clock, three guarded the outside, nine went to the bauk, seven guarded the outside of the build- ing, while the other two entered and with cocked revolvers at the head of Mr. Baird, the cashier, and his son, forced them into the vault and compelled them to deliver up all the money in the bank. A boy named Wyllon, who gaye the alarm, was shot five times and instantly killed. The robbers mouated horses and escaped. A party of thirty citizens started n pursuit. No captures have been made. The robbers divided the money at Gilead Church. Three of them were recognized as bushwhackers during the war. Therace between the Algonquin and Wi- nooski was abandoned Wednesday night, on account of a storm on the Sound, when the Winooski had three complete heats, and was sixty miles ahead of the Algonquin, and oing at the rate of two anda haif knots P hour. At eight o'clock yesterdxy morn- ing both vessels started for New York, and in three hours the Winooski ran tae zonquin out of sight from her masthead beautifutiy, making twenty-one and a half turns per min- ute, with thirty-five pounds of steam. The Algonquin prebably made seventeen turns per hour. Advices from the City of Mexico to the 27th of January have been received. The Im- perialists bave gained a great success in the <urrender to them of Rapantla by the Liberal Generals Meiriaz and Alalees. The City ac- knowledged the empire. From Mazatlan and Simaloa the news is unfavorable for the Im- perialists. Cortinas holds the mountain passes, and the Liberals are too small to break them. in Michoacan the Liberals were defeated and driven out. In the United States District Court at Tren- ton, New Jersey, on Friday, Dr. Segtriea Newman, charged with passing counterfeit fifty dollar United States Treasury bills, was acquitted. Jerry Cowden, the noted counter- feiter, has been sentenced on four indictments to five years each in the State prison—term concurrent.

Hover.—When our report elosed yesterday, the House, in Committee of the Whole, had under consideration the miscellaneous appro- priation bill, which failed to become a law at the last seseion. The Clerk having read the clanse appropri- ating $46,000 to enable the Commissioner of Public Butldings to properly furaish and re- pair the President's House. Mr. Stevens explained that heretofor 2, before the incoming of a new sdmiuistratio: tain sam was appropriated for a similar pur- pore. Anitem was inserted in the miscelia- neous bill, which all knew failed to become a law, owing to un amendment made tothe bill on the motion of Mr. Davis, of Moryland. Du- ring the period between Mr. Lincoin’s deati, and the leaving of the White Honse by Mrs Lancoln, who was detained there by sickness, the building was left a prey to all comers. When President Johuson took posse ssion, there was searcely anything left; spoons, linen and bedding and other articles having been taken away, the house having been open to every- body. The steward was responsible bat had failed in hisduty. The President's family hac tried to get along with great economy. Some $15,000 of the former appropriation of £31,000 was anticipated. The sum now sposed was necessary for the purpose indicated. Mr. Schenck offere adiment for the Temovil of the doubd! i or fence in the old Hallof Representatives, and, after debate ofa humorous character, it was adopted, with an Rmenciaent also providing for the removal be the huckster stands im tue balls or corri- dors, Mr. Ingersoll offered an amendment appro- Priating $1,000 for grading and graveling I7th street, in tront of the President's grounds, down to the canal. Mr. Conkling offered an amendment thercto, that no payment shall be made on account of any appropriation to reimburse the city of Washington for improvements heretofore made in front of or throug’ the public grounds until the accounts shall be audited, as to their legality and proper amounts, by the proper officer of the Treasury. He said if there was any place for which the appropriation should not be made it was the city of Washington, both frora motives of economy and self-respect. It was but to augment the imposition here practiced. The amendment, as amended, was rejected— 4 againet 63. Mr. Washburne, of Llinois, moved to reauce the appropriation for lighting parts of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, from $53, to $45,000. He was willing to vote a reasonable suin for lighting Penneylyania avenue, 4 street, and the President's Honse and the Capitol. Mr. Kasson replied by saying that this was a mere matter of safety, to guard against robbery and murder. Mr. Schenck said a practice prevailed bere of relying on the moon, whether it shines or not, and also of putting out the street lights at an early hour in the morning, asmnch az to aay to the robber, who is seldom, if ever, dis- turbed by the police, you can do as you choose in the dark, After further debate, Mr. amendment was agreed to. bill makes appropriations for yarions Maneous objects, including the coust the lighi-honse establishment. &c so, $40,000 for defraying the expenses at- tending the funeral of the late President Lin- cotn.

Mining shares though a little lower, active, especially the gold stocks, which baye lately received an impulse upward, .in consequeuce of the new value given to some of the ores by the new method of desulphurizing. The rates for call loans were somewhat easier at six, with a ten- dency towards five per cent. in ¢ertain cases: and choice commercial paper more in demand at7a.

Mrs. Swiesheim, for instance, —- more than her in an easy, ieaeaty sort of a way, but it didn’t work— in% look natural—wanted the manly coat tails to give the easy grace to the “posish.”” She said there was a very general feeling in this country that all direct political action 1s ee tone woman who w ow OF care any" about poli herself and becomes a timate © ~~ or aunnee’ abuse. Any interest sne takes in the sabject is regarded as an imperunent meddling with @ matter which does not concern her, aad any disposition thus to meddle is looked upon as & modern invention of women’s rights con tions. Than this there can be no greaver take, unless we except the enrrent definition of the word polities. She proceeded to protest against Horace Mann's definition, who pro. nounced it a etygian pool so corrapt that womer must Avoid it as imevitable moral degradation. She accepted ‘ebeter's defini- tion. It wns indeed as he defined it, a subject of vast extent and importance, so Vast as to jeimente and control every conceivable human ‘hterest ond relation, and as such woman had proper share in it. It was politics which de tbe war and was responsible for all the nage and misery. The ignorance and in- difference to all questions of statesmanship which have so sedulously been cultivated in the women of the free States was the real canse of the fatnity with which Northern men disre- garded the warnings of the coming earthquake. They were deprived of woman's in quicker perceptions in judging q which the existe safety o tons on ce of the Goverament, the y home clepended, and the want of this alliance cost us just the war, and in prosec « it millions of money and thousands of lives. While t ration of Southern women wi men of their section enabled them to prolong a war for years which would have ended in as many * if Southern women had eu of that section as thorough poli- asthe men. Entirely relieved from the domestic drudgery which encumt Northera women, they have given their ime and atten- tion to the science of Government, and have governed not only their own St but the United States, notonly their own statesmen but the statesmen of the North, whose wives and daughters were at home “in woman's sphere, darning stockines.” while NSouthera thisses and matrons were moulding the desti- nies of the nation. Southern men have gratified their love of power by oppressiung the negro and ruling cougbfaces, While northern men have grat. fied theirs by keeping their wives and daugh- ters is level with, or rather below, free ne. grocs, idiots and Indians. Ail of the proper:y righ's of w: g from northera men in a few of the an Agitation in which womanhood was ham»! graced, were freely accorded by southern men long before that % began. Southern women placed on a property eqaality with the men, and taken into ther? political ecan- cils, ve been and are the soul of the south. ern system, while northern politics, deprived of this intelligent co-operation, have nad a preponderance of brain ower heart power. The heart was beginning to assert itself, because the exigencies of the war had forced northern clergymen a men into the areaa of poli- d@ and manhood dis- ties. In every northern home, for five sad years, the policy of the Government, past, present, and future, have been fireside ques- ons, and we see the reeult in the evidences t the history of ne » doughfaceism has ched its finis. M. Women of the north ght to think of and take interest in questions that history would never have been written, and no President would have found in any Congress enough unbaked bread in the faces of northern members to make one little donghnut. No wonder South- erners, with their shrewd female ailies, used every shaft of ridicule to keep northern women ent of politics. A northern member, whose wife was at home inthe kitchen, was much an if she Bad beep at business. While the united South was saying to evil “be thou am good,” the divided north was sleeping in indifference. While southera wo- men were prompting to trenson, northern wo- men were securely ralled in woman's sphere, and conld not perceive the inseparable con- nection between the House of Congress and the kitchen fire. Swisshelm here cited numerous bis. xiumples to show that women have the Tight and ability to take direct and positive action in the Government of nations, and en- larged upon the history of notable “strong- minded women of the past, parheularly Isxbella of Spain.” whose biography she © am brief but graphic style, concludiag th: tion of her address with the question: “Ig nee on record of & man doing public weltare !"

There never was and never will be any great political reform which has not been or will not be bronght about by women meddling in poli tics. nh alone is incapable of accomphiehi: any great moral object. If men could beliew that honesty is the best policy, they weald haye no objection to women and angels becom- ing poMicians. This orator of mischief delivered a charac. tic lecture on Tuesday evening, before a audience, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music—his subject being “The Duty of the Hour.’ In the course of his remarks, the speaker said “that some concede to the negro bis rights as afayor. He was reminded of the man who told him that he allowed his wife to «0 to chureh, to which another replied, “And does she let you go!’ Andrew Johnson does not believe that God made the negro perfect, when he, himself, declared itso. Mr. P. then wenton to say that this campaign had to be fought against Andrew Johnson; the last had to be fought against Lee. In the last, Graat headed the Northern host, and Lee the South- ern, and Graut whipped him. To-day, Congress heads the Northern host,and Andrew Johnson the Southern. Unless you stand behind Con- gress and encourage it, the conntry 1s not safe. The South for years ruled the Norih by saying “i will risk,” and it was now for Congress to Say, as they have said, «1 wil! risk.” and they would have their way. For the first time in this country, & Congress stands against 2 Presi. dent of its own party. Now, their word bas to be accomplished, or the object of the North through the war must for 2 time be frustrated, + Who brought us here !” Who put that tenant into the White House! It was the journals of New York. The capitalists of the South, be- tore the war, disliked the negro because he was black, they now hate him becanse he is free, The Alabama scheme was then referred to, and was disapproved of. They had no right to ask 200,000 black men where they wo go. Andrew Johnson does not belieye in the possibility of black men living here, because he doesn't believe in the equality of all men before the law. The lecturer, who was repeately cheered, concluded a lengthy address in remarking that the Sonth would never settie down into Con~ gressional life until the negro question was setiled. We have made the world our vassal, and now the South must be on the same model with ourselyes. South Carolina raised the is- sne,and had it tried in ber own time and fore her own tibunal. She raised it and she failed, nnd now it is for the North to say that the norihern idea shall stretch over the whole continent, and that from the lakes to the Gulf this cont.nent shall be governed by the north. ern idea. The following extracts give in words the pith of Phillips’ address : “The campaign of Virginia was er against the eee rebel Lee. resent campaign is fought against Andrew Jonnson, who leads the hosts of the Confed. eracy. (Applause) The question has sb from the camp into the foram: ft has from the cannon into ideas: and the great momentous diecrimination needed to-day is where the party lines run. * * * We bave crushed South Carolina, and now the President means to crush Massachusetts. Well, we accept the war.
