In Congress yesterday the Senate adopted a re- solution to terminate the session on the 25th inst» instead of the 18th, as previously agreed upon. The bill making an appropriation for the care and return to Africa of the captured negroes was taken up, but the Senate, by a majority of one, refused to concur in the House amendment in- creasing the appropriation from $200,000 to $250,000. The consideration of the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary Appropriation bill was then resumed, and the amendment appropriating $2,500,000 for the payment of the claims of the Choctaw nation of Indians was rejected, and the Dill was passed. The Post Office Appropriation bili was also passed. In the House the proposition from the Senate to extend the session to the 25th inst. was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The Pacific Railroad bill was postponed till the third Tuesday in December. The resolution reducing the price of the public printing forty per cent was adopted: Tie chairman of the second Conference Committee reported that the committee could not reconcile the differences of the two houses on the subject. He recapitulated the points at issue, and the House then resolved to adhere to their own bill. 8o the scheme is again effectually knocked on the head for a time. In Com- mittee of the Whole the Army Appropriation bill was discussed, and the amendments providing for « regiment of mounted volunteers in Texas and tor fortifications were rejected. The committee rose ard the House agreed to the action of the cc tumittee. Mr, Ely, of New York, made a apeech in opp sition to the reciprocity treaty with Canada. A synopsis of his remarks is given in our report of ile proceedings. We have additional news from Europe by the Niagara, which arrived at Halifax at half-past seven o'clock on Wednesday evening. The reports of Garibaldi’s successes are confirmed. He attack- ed Palermo on the morning of the 27th, and after a struggle which lasted six hours the people were masters of all parts of the town, Garibaldi leading his troops flag in hand. The revolution is spread- ing, and other towns are rising. A despatch from Naples, dated May 30, says that the besieging forces were not numerous, but being commanded by heroic leaders, the victory was obtained. The number killed is reported large. The Neapolitan Court was greatly agitated, and on the 29th the Ministers resigned. The British Admiral had of- fered the protection of English vessels to all the American citizens at Palermo. The royal palace at Palermo had been burnt by the people. Prince Jexsome Bonaparte was dangerously ill, and not ex- pected to recover. We learn by late advices from Hayti that Presi_ deat Geffrard has recognized M. Louis Gaetjens as commercial agent for the United States at Saint Macc. The President continued his journey through the republic. He was everywhere received with the liveliest enthusiasm. Gonaives was illuminated every night he was there. AtCape Haytien the keys of the city were presented to him ona plate of gold. A project ison foot to form an associa- tion for the encouragement and protection of im- migration. The colony of emigrants from Louisia- na, numbering some two hundred, have settled in 8 desirable location near Saint Marc, in the Arti bonite. The Excise Commirsioners held their tweaty- seventh mecting yesterday, and granted ten li- censes for $30 each, which make the number thus far granted the present year 175. The Commission- ers inform us that there are constantly a number of deliaquent liquor dealers, against whom jadg- meats have been procured for selling without li- censes, in Eldridge street prison.

We publish elsewhere today Horace Gree ley’s letter to Mr. Seward, which has been the cause of 60 many contradictory statements by the black republican journals, and the edito- rial comments thereon, published by Greeley in 'a Tribune. The latter is important, as it shows to the world the inner man, without dieguise or | tergiversation. It is an honest ecknowledg- ment, on the part of Greeley, that from the beginning of bis editorial career in 1834 unt “Sat. eve. Nov. 11, 1854,” he was not at heart a tariff map, ora temperance man, or a socialist, or a Fourierite, or an abolitionist, or 8 philosopher, or a journalist, but oaly a poor, degraded, kicked, cuffed and neglected office seeker. After Seward and Weed hired him, in 1837, to do their dirty work io that campaign, his firet aspiration, when he return- ed from the field of battle to his garret and his crust, was for the way of official pickings which Governor Seward was dispensing, “worth from $3,000 to $20,000 per year.” After. the campaign of 1840 his aim rose to be Postmaster of New York, and in 1848 he aspired to be Governor, or at least Lientenant Governor, of the State of New York. He got none of these, and his anger led him to abandon office seeking, and to take, unwittingly, in 1855, the independent course which has given him the power, in 1860, to crush out Seward. There is a philosophy in these movements which the parties themselves seem to be incapable of perceiving, and it therefore beoomes our duty to couch the blind. Greeley’s great mistake was in believing that he was a junior partner in “the political firm of Seward, Weed and Greeley.” No such con- cern ever existed. When Seward and Weed, in 1837, ‘sent for him to come to the City Hotel, and hired him at the rate of twenty dollars a week to edit a campaign paper, it was because they saw in him a fit instrument for their work. He set his own price, and they agreed to pay it. After that engagement expired he continued to work for them with- out any arrangement, his indacement being the same that leads hundreds of others to slave in the service of selfish politicians—self-conceived hopes of obtaining office. He came to consi- der himself a part of the firm, but the real partners never looked upon him as such, and shared none of the profits with him. At last he determined to dissolve this imaginary partaer- ship, which determination he carried out in the letter now brought to light, formatly announc- ing “said withdrawal to take effect on the morning after the first Tuesday in February,” 1855. The period which he thus selected unwit- tingly, and purely from a motive of personal resentment, was singularly propitious for his new enterprise of an independent journalist. The imbecile and wavering policy of poor Pierce and his Cabinet had led them to commit the folly of the Kansas Nebraska act, and to reopen the political discussion of the slavery question. Greeley went into it with zeal, but blindJy, and completely ignorant of the results at which he must necessarily arrive. The old whig party had been crushed out by the election of poor Pierce, and all the ele- ments for a new political organization existed... The folly and blindness of the then existing ad- ministration opened the path, and Greeley pur- sued it, Mainly by the efforts of the Tribune the black republican organization was formed, and that journal became a power in the party which neither politicians nor cabinets can ignore. It was now in Grecley’s power to pay old debts, and he has paid them by consigning Seward to the shades of private life. The still service bound journals of the black republican politicians—the Times, Courier and Enquirer, Albany Evening Journal and others—are now prosecuting the war against the independent. Tribune, because they know full well that if that journal maintains a true independence it can crush out Lincoln and bis administration, as we crushed out that of poor Pierce, should he be elected, and submit to the dictation of a set of selfish, intriguing and corrupt politicians. In pursuing this independent path since 1854, the Tridune has done what we have been doing for the past twenty-five years, and in its independence lies the secret of its pros. perity and its power. This it must not eacri- fice to any politician or to any politics! party. In the natural order of things politicians and parties become utterly selfish and corrupt, and forgetfal of the professions of love for the public good which marked their early days, and gave them strength in the hearts of the people. It was this state of things, and the honest independence of the New Yor« Heratp, which enabled us to crush out the old whig party in 1852, and the administration of poor Pierce in 1855; and It will enable us to crush out the existing factions of the old democratic party, if its political managers per- sist in pursuing at Baltimore the advancement of the selfish objects of the politicians, instead of the true interests of the whole country. There ia, a philosophy in these facts which may be studied with profit by journalists and by politicians. The independent press of the metropolitan city of New York constitates an independent Congress in permanent session. At all times i, is the great ques- tions of public interest, and filling, the minds of the people with ideas, whether the Congress in Washington be in session or not. Here exists the true arena of debate for all qnestions of popular bearing—politics, religion, industry, finance, trade, society end government; and here is the helm which guides the ship of State, directing the thought of the people, and through that controlling the action of parties, and of the government. To acquire influence in this arena, something more than intellect ts required. The journalist must have, beeider, in- dependence to enable him to grap the trath, and firmness to maintain tt agairsterery foe apything in |. NgW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1860. Through an iadependeace forced upoz him, Greeley has been able to crush Seward, and cecome @ miguty power ia his party. This power he can maintain as long as the party exists and he maintains his iadependence. But (f the Tribune wishes to become a real power in the country, it must emancipate itself from parties aa well as from politicians, The mis- sion of the independent press is to preserve the country from the tyranny of all parties as they become corrupt, and to give order, direction and power to that eclectic national sentiment which has grown up in the country, and which holds the common good to be superior to party ties, to the claims of individual politicians, and to the selfish aims of intriguing cliques. Tus Jaranese wv New Yore.—Tho Japanese Embassy will arrive in this city to-morrow, and, as will be seen by the programme, they will receive a grand reception. This is a novel event—the first visit of princes high in rank, representing « great Qriental nation, thirty centuries old—a refined, dignified and sagacious people, who have selected this country first of all the countries om the globe for the inaugura- tion of friendly. relations, commercial inter- course and a personal interchange of good feel- ing. It is eminently proper, then, that their re- ception im the intellectual, commercial and financial capital of this great republic should be of the most courteous and dignified cha- racter. At: Washington they were received very re- epectably fer a village of its dimensions and importance. His Majesty the great American Tycoon welcomed them with becoming grace At Baltimore, notwithstanding its Piug Ugly no toriety, their entertainment was decent and un- objectionable. But it was reserved for Phila- delphia—the city par excellence of brotherly love, of peace and of propriety, the offspring of Quaker parents, a city which has more piety and decorum than it knows what to do with— it was reserved for Philadelphia to receive the Japanete in a coaree and ruffianly fashion, at the hands of its governing classes, which is a diagrace to the whole nation. In different quar- ters of that most respectable city they were re- ceived with hootings and insults, and such fra- ternal epithets as “nigger,” “monkey” and so forth, which must have impressed them very forcibly as to the refinement and hospitality of ita inhabitants. We trust that our governing classes, who, though wild enough at times, know how to contro! their rowdy spirit on occasions like this, will demean themselves toward the Orien- tal princes with propriety. We hope thet they will act with as muoh decency as they did at the funeral of the great r@wdy and pugilist, William Poole, as decently as they did on the visit of Kossuth, as decently as they did at the ovation to Jenny Lind, amidst all the exciting Barnum hubbub. Bat especially do we hope that our. Alder- men will school themselves with good maanere, abstain from the use of tobacco and spirituous liquors, and keep their faces clean. They will find that by drinking less champagne, taking fewer chews of tobacco, and smoking less bad eegare, for about a fortnight, their sanitary con- dition will be greatly improved, and they will bein far better condition fer conducting the fight at the coming election of the next Ameri- oan Tycoon, or old coon, as the case may be. .We hope, in fact, that our reception of the Japanese Ambassadors will besuch as to eetan example—not to Philadelphia, for the rowdy classes of that village seem beyond the force of example—but to the whele civilized world. London and Paris are the only cities with which we condescend to cope in point of intellectuali- ty, refinement, morals and good manners; as for Philadelphia, it is beneath our notice. We are certain to do full justice to the Japanese, if the Aldermen only conduct themselves with as much propriety as we have no doubt the rowdy classes will, now that we have called them to order. SeETTLEMENT OF THE Frence CLaims AGatyst Perv—The last steamer from Aspiawall brings advices of the arrival at Callao of a line-of-battle ship, with Mons. Lesseps, the French Chargé, sent out to demand a eettle- ment by the government of Peru of the claim of Durhin, a French subject. It will be recol- lected that the French Minister at Lima de- manded and received his passports some months since on account of this claim. On Mons. Lesseps’ arrival at Callao he sent a pe- remptory demand to the Peruvian govern- ment, and named the term of six days for com- pliance. Before this period elapsed, he had op- portunities to verify the representations that had been sent to France, and the result was that without waiting for the expiration of the term he had set, he presented his credentials to Tax Posr Orrice Deratcations.—There {s not one of the exposures made before the Co- vode Committee which is at all to be compared in gravity with the facts contained in Postmas ter General Holt’s letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives on the recent Post Office defalcations, Here we have a state of things deposed to which, we will venture to say, does not find a parallel under any other admt- nistrative system in the world. For the period of five years, according to Mr. Holt’s statement, these defalcations have been carried on, without the heads of the Department being in the least aware of them. The first deficit ocourred in December, 1855, and from that time until the suspension of Fowler from his pogt it was steadily increased, and the abstraction of the money concealed by applying the deposits of the revenues of one quarter to extinguish the liabilities of the previous one. This, of course, could not occur without the knowledge of one or more of the other Post Office officials. In fact, it ought not to have occurred at all without the heads of the Department arriving earlier at a suspicion of it. And yet not only for this long period of five years do they remain unconscious of the fact, but an officer of the Treasury Department, whose special duty it was to bring these irregularities under the notice of the authorities, became afflicted with a eimilar blindness. And all this took place under a system of financial checks which, although it may not be perfect, is still eufficiently elaborate to prevent the commission of frauds, if those who are charged with carry- ing it out pay proper attention to their duties. We must say that a more remarkable case of ignorance and incompetency on the part of public officials has never been brought to light. It is calculated to shake all con- fidence in the honest discharge of the business of the several departments; for of what use are administrative laws and regulations if those who are charged with the duty of pat- ting them in force not only select subordi- nates unfitted for their posts, but themselves neglect to give that close superintendence to their proceedings which is necessary to secure efficiency? We are afraid thet the facts admit- ted in the “Postmaster General’s explanation will furnish a complete legal defence to Fowler's sureties. How can men be called to pay up forfeitures that had already been in part incurred when they signed the bonds? Besides, these instruments were themselves drawn up in a manner that would almost lead to the inference that it was intended to afford the parties signing them a means of escape in the case of a breach of trust by their princi- pal. This affair altogether reflects the greatest discredit on the manner in which the business of our public departments is conducted. The evil is in part attributable to the too frequeat displacement of the clerks in the public offices, and in the appointment of inexperienced and incompetent persons in their places, merely on the ground of their political claims. But its main responsibility lies on the shoulders of the men who accept positions of great public trust, without either the capability or the de- sire to perform efficiently the duties which they undertake. Tar ConrgssionaL or Pottriciaxs.—We be- Meve that if the revelations made in the con- feesional to the Roman Catholic clergy could be made known, they would disclose some of the moet astounding cases of depravity and wickednees that the world has heard of. The Covode Committee has served as a confes- sional to the politicians, the difference, how- ever, being, that in owning up their sins to that body the culprits have also been com- pelled to let the public into their confidence. Here, one after the other, office seekers out at elbows, pauper journalists and spoilsmen, have made a clean breast of their delinquencies. A more remarkable expos! of personal meanness, dirty intriguing, corruption and petty rascality has never been made in the anaals of political knavery. Bat one of the most amusing and impudent featares connected with this investigation was that presented by the evidence of Forney. The unblushing narra- tive of such a career must indeed have been highly instructive and edifying. What are the facts which this witness had to depose to before the committee? After the election of Mr. Buchanan he aspired to be re- turmed as United States Senator from Pennsyl- vania, and failed in his election from the defec- tion of his own party, who had ceased to have any confidence in him. Then he endeavored to get appointed editor of the organ, Priater of the House, and head of the Kitchen Cabinet, the profits of which he had enjoyed under the administration of poor Pierce. This the Presi- dent would not give him, but offered him the Consulate to Liverpool, his political friends the government, was officially received, and whea the mail steamer left, he had called the French residents together and assured them that there was no cause for apprehension, as the matter was ina fair way of amicable ar- rangement. It seems to us that, if our govern- meat were to pursue a similar course to that of France, our claims on Peru might be settled with equal ease and rapidity. It is evident that our Minister at Lima has exhausted his in- fluence for obtaining such a desirable result; but the appearance of a new and sensibleCom- missioner, such as Mons. Lesseps seems to be, would no doubt p,odace s beneficial change ia the aspect of our dilatory and unsatisfactory re- lations with Peru. Wao Wit. Rive tae Donxry?— The greatest question of the day among the black republi- can politicians is, who will ride the party donkey on and after the 4th of March, 1861? They have quite eettled the matter that “honest Old Abe Lincoln’’ is to be elected, and the question now is who shall direct his move- ments after be has been comfortably installed at the White Houre. Dogberry says te Verges that when two men ride a horee one must go behind; but the republiosn donkey cannot carry double. If Greeley keeps his seat on Abe Lincoln's back, Seward and his henchmen Webb, Weed and Raymond, must hang on at the donkey's tail, where they will be liable to get more kicks than coppers. The arrange- ment will hardly be a pleasant one to any of, the parties concerned except Greeley. As for the donkey himeelf, It does not appear that he has been consulted about the matter at all; but if either Greeley or Seward get once firmly seated on his back they will ride him through his whole foar years race. We are very curi- cus to eee how the preeent contest will tara wut, and who will ride the donkey. Just now Grecley eeema to bea little ahead, and is con fident that he i the chosen manager of O!d ave's administration, We shall eee. being ready to make up the salary to the same amount as that of the Executive. He declined this excellent offer, as also one or two diplo- matic missions which were subsequently pro- poeed to him. Haunted by the desire to wreak on the President the animosity excited in his oreast by the want of confidence exhibited towards him by the Pennsylvania democracy, he opened negotiations with the opposition, it is supposed through Greeley and Haskio, and, as the result of his bargain with the black republicans, was chosen Clerk of the House. Ia the event of Lincoln being elected it is fairly to be presumed that he will get the appoint- ent of Printer to the House, and his old and favorite post of head of the Kitchen Cabinet. Can anything more strikingly illustrate the mo- rals of politicians than Mr. Forney’s sketch of himeelf given before the Covode Committees. Coxrmuation or tar News or Ganmator's Eyrry Into Patermo.—The Niagara brings us che confirmation of the capture of Palermo, on the 27th, by the revolutionary forces. The conflict with the royal troops was, it appears, a deeperate one, and lasted for more than six nours, The troops had retired to the palace, Custom Honse and castle, but ithe former was taken by the people in the evening, and burot down. On the 28th Garibaldi commenced an attack on the castle, and in the meantime a Seree bombardment was kept up on the city: oy sem and land, by the goverument troope, nd was being continued at the last accounts, The Epglieh Admiral had offered his proteo- ion to the American residents.

But there appears to be a gloomy foreboding in the minds of most of them that there isa crisis at hand which cannot be averted, and which is pregnant with the most tremendous results. The Douglas delegates are resolyed not to admit the seceding dele- ented, as far as they bave the power to exclude, but to admit in theif stead bogus delegates appointed te fill the vacant places. Very much depends on the aelegation from New York, which holds the balance of power. That am explosion will take place is almost certain, and it will be brought about in this way. Judge Smalley, the Chairman of the Commitiee of Arrangements at the Charleston Convention, who acted so unfairly im excluding the Wood dolegation from the floor, claims the right to \auue tickets for the Baltimore Coavention. That claim is dented, as his powers ceased when the Charleston Con- vention orgamized. But the new National Democratic Committee was not appointed, om account of the sudden breaking up of the Convention. Under these circum- stances, Mr. Caleb Cushing, the chairman of the Convea- ton, has the right to issue the tickets, and he will issue them. There will be thus a double set of tickets issued. At all events, Mr. Cushing will supply the Southern seced- Ported by a majority of the House in claiming his rights, he now chooses to resign his seat and goto the poople again, and receive their verdict also. . them whether they will be bound by the decision of tne Convention if Dougias should be nominated?
