TRIPLE New York, gatarday, May 12, i86v. In Congress yesterday the Senate passed several private bills, and the Deficiency Appropriation bill. An executive session was then held, and the Senate adjourned until Monday. In the House a bill was reported providing tor carrying out the stipulations of the treaty with Paraguay. The Chairman of the Committee on Territories re ported bills for organizing Terrritorial govern- ments for Idaho, Nevada, Chippewa, Arizona and Dacotab, and they were all laid on the table, ater @ lively conversational debate wth reference to the clause in the bills prohibiting slavery. The Commandant of the Washington Navy Yard sent an invitation to the House to witness the reception of the Japanese Embassy on Monday; but the Houge refused to adjourn for the purpose, and one member expressed himself as opposed to what he called this expensive Japanese humbug, The Japanese Embassy will be formally received by the President on Wednesday next. The entry into the.federal capital will be attended with all the pomp and circumstance that the government officials can muster. They are to be quartered at Willard's Hotel, where ample accommodations have been prepared for them. The Joint Special Committee of the Common Council appointed to adopt measures for extend- ing the hospitalities of the city to the Japanese Ambassadors met yesterday at noon, but their meeting was private. Prom the Clerk of the Com- mittee, however, we have the information that a sub-committee, consisting of Aldermen Cornell and Bagley, and Councilmen Van Tine and Shaw, were appointed to proceed immediately to Wash- ingtom to obtain an interview with President Buchanan, and through him extend the freedom ‘and hospitality of the city to the illustrious visiters. A resolution was also adopted to the effect that the Mayor be authorized, in the name of the Common Council, to receive and do honor to the Oriental Ambassadors upon their retarn from Washington to New York, after which the committee ad- jourued. All the members were present except Alderman Starr. It will be remembered that Councilman Van Tine waa one of the committee who took charge of the Turkish Admiral and suite during their sojourn in the city. Hon. John Beil, the recently nominated Union candidate for the Presidency, was complimented by a serenade, torchlight procession, &c., at Phila, delpbia last evening, and Mr. Poll addressed the people on the political issues of the day. A re port of his remarks may be found in another columa. A large meeting was held lastevening at the Cooper Inatitute, to take into consideration the iniquity of the imprisonment of Thaddeas Hyatt in Washington, for alleged contempt of the Senate, Addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Cheever, Wen- deli Phillips, William Lioyd Garrison, Rev. Mr. Worth and Charles Sewell, Exq. The martyrs Were in fall council. We poblish in today's paper some interesting correspondence from london in relation to the late prize fight, which was still tne all-absorbing topic. ‘The authorities in England are determined to pre- vent a second mecting, and as far as the belt ts concerned it would seem that Heenan stands no chance of receiving it. Both parties, Sayers par- ticularly, were receiving substantial testimonials of the public admiration. Our correspondent says that Seyers will very probably visit the United States this summer. Our Paris, Berlin and Vienna correspondence Will aleo be found elsewhere. In Paris, as in Lon don, the great prize {ight was the topic of general interest and conversation from the aristocratic salons, even from the Empress’ boudoir, to the meanest cabaret. The great event of the day was the Panpress’ Jal Cosiwmé, a very fall description of which ts given in one of our Paris letters. From Berlin and Vienna the news is chiefly political, By the bark Inman, Capt Brooks, we have dates from Pernambuco to April 15. There had been seve. val cases of yellow fever, nearly all of which proved tal, owing, no doubt, to unskilfal treatment. In shia it is feared that the sugar crop will be short, ving to the great want of rain in that province. on same want was reverely felt at Pernambuco, ‘ur intelligence from Buenes Ayres is to March '\, four days later than that previously received Cor-iderable alarm had been caused by an at tat rebellion, which was easily suppressed, « 4 the National Guard remained under arms # Gaya.

A meeting of the colored people was held at the Shuoh Africana charch last evening, to oxprees sym pathy with certain Philadelphia negro rescuers The attendance did not exceelt thirty persons, and the proceedings were of ne interest to the public. The Quarantine Commissioners have accepted the resignation of Dr. Harris, of the Floating Hospital, and directed; the Seoretary of the Board te dis charge all the employ¢s on the bulk, with the ex- ception of one man, to act as shipkeeper or cus- todian of the property. No funds have been pro- vided to defray the expenses of the Floating Hoepital during the coming season; hence the ne- ceusity of this step. We learn by telegraph from St. Catherines, C. W., that the broken lock in the Welland Canal is repaired—boats commenced locking yesterday morning. The canal is now in good order. We also have advices by telegraph from Milwaukee that the propeller Young America arrived at that port yesterday, with first freight through by canal and lakes this season. iM The cotton market was firm yesterday, with sales of 2,600 bales, closing on the basis of 1134. for middling uplauds. Tae edvancing tendency in Liverpool freights tendea to cheok transactions in flour, and especially for export, Sales of all kinds were moderate, while prices wore without change of moment. Wheat was in fair re- quest, and the market rather firmer, with a fair amount of sales. Corn was steady, and the demand fair. Pork was firmer, with sales at prices gives in another column. Sugars were sold to the extent of about 7008 800 bhds., chiefly Cubas, at steady prices. Colloe was quiet for most descriptions; 1,200 bags St. Domingo were soid at 1246. Freights were drm, and for Liverpool flour cloted at 2s., and grain at 6%d. a 7d. im bulk and ship’s bags. The B more Nominations amd the Poli- tictaa»—a Chance fer the Ohicage Ovum- vestiun. The nomination of Bell and Everett at Balti- more bas been received in a manner that indicates a nervous sensitiveness on the part of ali who are committed to other cliques and political interesta, and a growing conviction that the people will pass judgment on all the candidates according to their respective merits, ratber than according to party lines and party dictation. The metropolitan press, with a single and notable exception, all admit the personal merit aud ability of the candidates, but each brings forward its own exception. The Tribune opines that “it imposes upon the members of the Re- publican Convention at Chicago the necessity of additional wisdom if possible.” The Journal of Commerce, on the other hand, thinks it “has settled the chances against the nomination of apy conservative selection by the republicans at Chicago.” The Times, true to its own in- stincts, says “it is quite evident that some, at least, of the leading members of the Convention did not nominate this ticket for the special purpose of electing it, nor indeed with a settled intention of voting for it themselves.” The Sun believes that “the Convention has utterly disappointed the hopes of the people, whose wishes it affect- ed to represent, and its action will be repudiat- ed and condemned.” The Lzpress only is si- lent. Nota word does it give editorially on the nominations of the Convention, which it has so long pretended to put implicit faith in. Iteurtly announces the fact in three lines in its summary of news, and devotes two co- lumos to @ post prandial ad in favor of Sam Houston, adopted in a meeting at the Me- tropolitan Hotel, two days before the meeting of the Baltimore Convention. These diverse and distinct expressions and indications show the nervous condition of the politicians, and their anxieties during the pre- sent President hatching season. Among all of them there is an earnest desire to bring their personal preferences forward with as strong a backing as poesible, and an undisguised ten- dency to rebel against the dictation of conven- tions, when this does not accord with their own wishes. This arises from the conviction which all of them entertain, that party lines have be- come greatly broken up among the people, and that all of the party organizations are under. going a process of disruption and decay. In such a state of things the masses cannot be held by the cobweb ties of party, and the political leaders and Presidential aspirants are all struggling to place their own personal claims before them to the best advantage. For these reasons no popular verdict will be passed upon any of the candidates presented until all of them are brought forward. Then the masses will begin to concentrate about each according to his antecedents and the con- fidence he inspires. The conservative reaction which has been evinced in the recent elections in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, and the several grounds of preference which are expressed by the various cliques among the black republicans, show that the popular sentiment against the radicals and extremists will have its effect at Chicago, as it has had elsewhere, and it may prodace very important changes in the position of candidates and par- ties everywhere. Success is the aim and object of all of them, and the political managers, knowing the strength of the conservative tide, are all endeavoring so to trim their sails as to catch the rising popular breeze. ‘This fact may produce great changes at the Chicago Convention, and effect a complete revolution in the political aspect of the coun- try. If the conservative elements there resist the dictation of the radicals, which, if submit} ted to, will involve them all in hopeless de- feat, and refuse to adopt an ultra nomination, they will be supported by the large class of people in the North who reject alike the idea that slavery is a righteous and just institution, that must be supported, and the fanatical theory that ft is an evil anda sin which must be destroyed. There can be no doubt that the great mass of public opinion in the Northern States is antagonistic to the idea of slavery, but it is equally opposed to making ft a matter of civil war. So evident is this truth, that the conviction is very generally entertained ‘that the slave State line would have retreated south- ward lopg since, under the operation of natural causes, had the subject not been made one of political discussion. There is, therefore, « strong tendency among the Northern oppo- nents of slavery to throw it ont of the politt cal arena altogether, and permit the nataral influences which can, and will eventaally con- trol it, to operate. ‘There is a set of managere among the black republicans who see these thfhgs very clearly; and they have been laboring to bring about the nomination of Bates or McLean by the op- position Convention at Baltimore, in the hope of having the nominee endorsed by the Conven- tion at Chicago. No reason exists why the Bell and Everett ticket should not be adopted by the twenty-five cents a gallon; in casks, fifteen cents, and all other spirituous liquors, thirty per cent ad valorem. All kinds of tobacco are subject to anad valorem duty, except segars ‘ eame conservative section of the black repabli- may be sald that they belong to the old fogy school of politicians, but this is a pointless ar- gument, brought forward only when no direct charge can be sustained ; and besides, if they belong to an old school, both Bates and McLean belong to one much older. In the present con- dition of public sentiment, both North and South, with a conservative reaction in full tide against the fanatical and radical black republi- Cans, and a wearisomeness everywhere of the squabbles and spoils hunting of the democrats, the conservative elements at Chicago could not do better than to unite on Bell and Everett, nd let the ultra radicals go off on some other candidate. By such a course and a judicious campaign, they might sweep the country and elect their ticket by the popular vote. But they cannot carry the weight of the radicals. In 1852 the people refused to accept and vote for Gen. Scott, the best known and most trust- ed man in the country, solely because they be- lieved that he was under the control of such ultra men as Seward and his clique. The next few weeks will show which set of political managers has the sagacity to see, and fall into the track of, the impending political revolution. Tue New Tariry Brt.—The new Tariff bill, which passed the House on Wednesday, under the title of ‘A Bill to Provide for the Payment of Outstanding Treasury Notes, to Authorize a Loan, to Regulate and Fix Duties on Imports, and for other purposes,” combines the princi- ples of specific and ad valorem duties. The bill suthorizes the President to raise a loan of a sum not exceeding twenty-one millions of dol- lars, to be applied to the payment of appro- priations made by law and the balance of trea sury notes now outstanding, and for no other purposes. After prescribing the mode ia which the stock shall be issued, &c., the bill goes on to fix the rates of duties upon foreign importa- tions from and after the lst of October next, the principal articles of which we shall enume- rate:—On raw sugar, the muscovado or brown, it fixes a specific duty of one centa pound, and the same rate upon syrup, concentrated molas- ses, sugar cane, white and clayed sugars, when not advanced beyond the raw state above num- ber twelve, Dutch standard; above that stand- ard, one cent and a half a pound; refined sugars, two cents and @ half a pound; refined sugars, tinctured or in any way adulterated, five cents; and on confectionery and other kinds not provided for, an ad valorem duty of thirty per cent. The duties on brandies, spirits, wines, cor- dials, are epecific, as enumerated, thus:—Bran- dy, a dollar a gallon; other spirite, forty cents; cordials and liquors, fifty cents; arrack, ab- synthe, kirschenwasser, ratefia, and other like liquors, fifty cente; Madeira, sherry and port wines, seventy-five cents; champagne, Burgun- dy and hock, in casks, fifty cents; claret, Tene- rife, Sicily and Canary wines, thirty cents; and all other wines not enumerated, thirty per cent ad valorem. Ale, porter and beer, in bottles, of all kinds, which must pay fifty cents a pound and ten per cent ad valorem; snuff, ten cents; unmanufactured leaf, twenty per cent, and all other tobaccos, thirty per cent. On bar iron, rolled and hammered, including iron less finiehed than bars and more advanced than pig fron, the duty is fifteen dollars a ton ; railroad iron fitted to be laid down without fur- ther manufacture, twelve dollars a ton; boiler plate, twenty dollare; iron wire one-fourth of aninch in diameter or less, seventy-five cents per one hundred pounds, and fifteen per cent ad valorem; on all other kinds of rolled or hammered iron, one dollar per one hundred pounds. The list of manufactured fron is quite too long to enumerate here—the duties varying at specific and ad valorem rates. On all unmanufactured wool or hair, the va- lue of which at the last port from whence ex- ported exceeds sixteen cents a pound, the duty fixed at eight cents a pound; and skins with the wool on, fifteen per cent ad valorem. On all manufactures ef cotton, not bleached, co- lored or printed, and not exceeding one hun- dred threads to the square inch, and exceeding in weight five ounces per square yard, one cent & yard; on finer and lighter goods, two cents, and so on,in proportion to fineness of tex- ture ; and twenty-five per cent ad valorem upon all cotton goods the value of which shall ex- ceed sixteen cents the square yard. These comprise the leading articles of importance in commerce. An ad valorem duty of ten per cent is levied upon articles in the crude state for purposes of manufacture ; twenty and thirty per cent on articles, manufac. tured wholly or in part, according to clasai- fication. The list of articles exempt from duty is quite large, and comprises those for the most part included in previous tariffs. ° This bill was introduced by Mr. Morrill, and passed the House by 8 vote of 89 to 37. Waar Tue Homestrap Bus, Provinrs For— ‘The Homestead bill, which passed the Senate on Thursday by a vote of 44 to 8, provides that any person who is the head of « family may, after the act becomes a law, enter one quarter rection (160 acres) of vacant and upappropri- ated lands, or any less quantity, to be located in a body, in conformity with the legal subdi- vision of public lands, upon making affidavit before the Register that the applicant is head of a family, and is actually settled on the land, and that the application is made for his or her benefit, and that of no one else. The final cer- tificate, or patent, shall not be issued for five years after the date of entry, and not before it is certified by two credible witnesses that the settler has erected a dwelling house and resided upon the land for the five years; whereupon the patent aball be issued upon payment of twenty- five cents an acre. The land thus acquired shall not be liable for debt until after the patent is seued. In cases of false swearing upon making the entry, or abandoning the land for more than six months at one time, the band shall re- vert to the government. The rights conferred by this act are extended to inchoate citizens who have declared their intentions, as re quired by the naturalization laws, before the issuing of the patent. Nothing in this act shall be construed so as to impair the existing pre- emption, donation, or graduation laws, or to embrace lands reserved to be sold or entered at the price of two dollars and fifty cents an acre, The President is required to order ali surveyed public lands into market, by procla mation, within two years from the date of this aot, except engh as are reserved by the govern- ment for any purpose, All lands within the Mmit of any State which have beea subject to sole at private entry, and which shall remain unsold after the lapse of thirty years, shall be ceded to such State, upon the Legislature as- senting to the cession; but the cession shall in Bo case invalidate any inceptive pre-emption right or location, nor any eale which may be made by the United States. This is about the substance of Senator Johnson’s Homestead bill. 4 Grand Opening tor the Chicage Con- vention. Onur black republicaa frieads, who will meet at their Chicago wigwam bright and early next Wednesday morning, are understood to be in & terrible quandary as to the candidates whom they should select, and the platform which they should manufacture. Their maio party difioulty, and one that is aggravated in the present condition of political affairs, is the taint of sectionalism, Helperism and Spooner- ism which has been fastened on them by the Seward clique, and which is especially dis- tasteful to the conservatives of the Central States, who have the final decision of the mat- ter in their hands. While these conservatives are bitterly opposed to the extreme fire-eating democracy of the South, they do not accept the Helper doctrine of stirring up the non- slaveholders of the South to promote insurreo- tions, and put down the peculiar iostitution, nor do they agree in Mr. Seward’s theory of the “irrepressible conflict.” They consider that the radical republicans have placed themselves in an attitude as dangerous and treasonable asthe Garrisonians, and will hesitate a long while before they place the government of the country in their hands. Some of the managers of the purely political spoils-seeking section of the party found that this feeling existed some time ago, and it was for this reason that old Blair and Hon. Massa Greeley trotted out Madame Bates, while somebody else mentioned another splendid antique—Judge McLean—who has been ready to run for the Presidency, upon any ticket, any time these five and twenty years, and who has been politically dead two thirds of that time. It was noticed, however, that the attempt to galvanize these political relics did not excite any very great amount of enthusiasm in any part of the coun- try. So the reprfblican leaders concluded to wait and see what was done at Charleston. The result of the Democratic Convention distressed the wirepullers on the other side terribly, and they are really on their beam ends, without chart or rudder, and not knowing what to do. In this state of things, we feel moved to help our black republican friends out of their trouble, and point out to them the broad and easy road to victory and one hundred millions of spoils per annum. Listen: if there is anything, Messieurs Republicans, fer which you are distinguished (according to your own account) over and above all other factions and parties, it is your unswerving loyalty to the constitution, your unvarying fealty to the Union, your rigid determination to assist in the enforcement of the federal enactments, and to sustain the compromises and guarantees of the famous instrument which forms the organic law of the republic. You, conservative repub- cans, ignore Helper and Lovejoy and Seward, and all those pestilential fellows, and declare yourselves to be pure patriots, as immaculate as the lambs who have been seven times washed in Jordan. You declare that youre is the party of union; the democratic organization that of disunion. Very well. You make this pro- fession of faith to catch the votes of the conser- vatives in the Central Siates, but they must have something more, Platforms are nothing, Tesolutions trash, political principles’ bosh. What is required is a ticket in which people can have confidence, and that is made to your hand. The Baltimore ticket is just the ticket for you. Never mind about Mr. Bell's age or Mr. Everett’s mild and undemonstrative amia- bility. It is very easy to cry old fogy; but, in the opinion of many solid men hereabouts (and some of them have been younger once than they are now), am old fogy is better than a young fool or a middle aged trickster, Both Bell and Everett opposed the Kansas-Nebraska bill, the first party capital obtained by the republicans, amd as good as new in the back districts yet. The very best thing, then, that the conservative republicans can do at Chicagoisto take the Bal- timore ticket and platform, smashing all the slates, breaking up all the combinations, and going before the people with a clean ticket. Such a course would go far to convince the people, who are stupid enough to be somewhat skeptical on the point, that the bulk of the party is sound on the great question of the day. Such is our advice gratis to the Chicago Con- vention. Will they take it? As that venerable patriot, Ritchie, would say, nous verrons. Persovat, Anvse vor Party Pcrresrs.—It ie to be regretted, for the credit and respectability of the press, that party animosity should ever induce it to enter into personalities. In ite columns at least political controversies should be carried on without a resort to such weapons. ‘The course pursued by the Times, the Tribune and other black republican papers, in refer- ence to a recent appointment by the President, is one which cannot be too strongly condemned by every decent journal. The spirit and lan- guage of thearticles that they have published on the subject are such as would disgrace a Five Pointe barroom. Such language used towards the Executive would at any time be indefensible, but it is doubly 80 when it is po- litically objectless. The President is near the close of his term, and bas neither the intention nor the desire to enter upon another contest. His political life will soon be at an end, and there is nothing to be gained by following him ap to the period of his retirement with such ma- lignant, unscrupulous and persevering hostility. Some respect should be paid to his years, if not to his office. Whatever may be the disfavor with which his acts are viewed by those politically opposed to him, it should be remembered that he is at the age when the judgment is ripest and responsibility most felt, and that younger men should, in differing people? In what degree of respect will statesmen be held abroad of whom we speak ia such lighting terms. The effect may be es timated by the anecdote related by Mr. Ba- chanan the other day. “If we were to judge by the language of your newspapers,” said aa English gentleman to him, “we should take the men whom you select for positions of high political trust for the veriest scoundrels in society.” Too LaTe ror Insertion ms THe CoLuMn oF Wants —The applications that we daily receive from persons having wants to satisfy would make a curious chapter if published.

As to choosing an editor for our correspondent, we have too much to do to attend to our own concerns to undertake such a task. If he will take the usual business course, and advertise for one through our columns, just as people do for waiters and chambermaids, we have no doubt that he will soon get supplied. There are plenty of idle editors floating around New York, whose political convictions are not like- ly to stand in the way of their advancement.

Let our correspondent and his assdciates, there- fore, bag the money first and make their ar- rangements afterwards.

Indeed, some of theee men openly and above board proclaimed them- selves the confidential agents of that candidate, and in their blind confidence of success, or their skill in playing political’ bluff, denounced and defied the administration, misrepresented newe- "papers, and acted generally in the most reck- lees manner, under the very nose of the Col- lector of the Port, who was present at the Con- vention; and these men still retain their situs- tions in the Custom House, after so shamefully abusing their trust, and abandoning their do- ties to fillbuster against the government, and sting like vipers the hand thet gives them their daily bread. ‘Laces Kemwe’s Temaree—Lasr Niort or ras Grason — ‘This evening Miss Laura Keene anpounces es the inst night of bor preseat seasoe, the third of ber very elegant ‘and popular establishment.

New facts are continually coming to light illustrative of the utter profligacy of the conduct of the Richmond, Oag. gor & Co. faction at Charleston.
