CORNER OF FULTON AND NASSAU STB ‘olume XXX New York, Tucsday, June 27, 1865, FREEDOM OF COMMERCE President Johnson has issued @ proclamation, which is published in this morning’s Heap, removing all re- strictions on internal, domestic and coastwise intereourse ‘and trado in that portion of the country lying west of the ‘Mississippi river, lately in a state of insurrection, except- dng in articles already declared contraband by previous proclamations. Thus freedom of domestic commerce is ‘again established throughout thefentire Union, and after ‘the first of July all our ports will be once more open to foreign trade.

Goneral Hartsuff, commanding at Yotersburg, Va, has forbidden, in an official order, the holding of any more meotings by the planters to establish a fixed price for the labor of the nogroes, or to make distinctions prejudicial to thetr interests, and no difference in rate of compensation for the same labor by whites and blacks ia to bo allowed. The Virginia Legislature adjourned sine die on Friday evening last, after a session of five days, Nearly all the measures required by Governor Picrpolnt to assist him in the work of recoustructing the State government wore passed, cliciting little or no debate in their passaze. The most t of these was that extending the franch’se to persona who were excluded from it by the Alexandria Constitution.

The committee of the Common Council appointed to make areangements for the celebration of the Fourth of July met yesterday in the City Hall.

There was 4 considerable meeting the other day in Faneuil Hall, Boston, om the “reorgan!- the right of suffrage to the emancipated blacks in this work, as the vital question of the pre- eent crisis. The resolutions and the speakers on the occasion were built upon this text and addressed to this object. From these and other proceedings of a similar character in other parts of the country we can understand very well what is coming. The republican radicals against President Johnson are organizing upon their old platform of rule or ruin, and negro suffrage in the rebel States is the issue upon which they expect to control him now or to supersede him in 1868. » Mr. Theophilus Parsons, chairman. of this Boston meeting, opened the ball’ in favor of negro suffrage in this business of Southern reorganization upon this ground— | first, that unless the suffrage be given to the loyal blacks, the disloyal whites of every rebel State will have it all their own way; that thus the Southern States, looking to the repudiation |, of their rebel debts, and to the federal war debt |; as @ debt incurred in their subjugation, will form themselves into a solid phalanx to repu- diate it likewise, and will be supported imthis: movement by their old party associates of the North, and that thus the most disgraceful and ruinous consequences to the country may well be apprehended. Mr. Parsons next contended that without the power of self-protection, which the right to vote will give them, the Southern blacks, nominally free, will soon be reduced again practically toa state of abject. slavery under the white race, and shorn of all’ the: rights of freemen. Mr. Richard H. Dana, Jr., however, .was the prominent orator of the day. His speech was the great speech of the meeting. He dis- cussed several propositions in support of the: suffrage tothe Southern blacks. He contended, first, that towards the rebel States we stand upon the groand of war, and have the right to exercise the powers of the victorious party over the subjugated enemy; that “we have the right to hold the: rebeis in the grasp of war until we have secured whatever we have: the right to require.” Secondly, that we have thus the right, aud it is our duty to the Southern blacks, to. require that they shall have the right’ to hold Jand, the right to testify in tho: State courts, the right to bear arms, and the right to vote. He-demands this upon the principle that’ the right to: vote should be decided by “the greatest good of the greatest number,’ and’ upon the ground of the public faith and the public safety. He maintains, tov, that “if we- do not secure thia right now, in the time of revo- ‘Williamsburg, at night, some of them got up eafight in « NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNK 27, 1865. dreamed of ex months ago, as the next thing in order after the collapse of the rebellion. We hold that the President is acting wisely in deolining to assume the power over this. question of megro suffrage in the late rebel States, It is a subject which expressly belongs to the States, The new ers upon which we Bave entered, however, demands a new and uniform regulation of this right of suffrage in «n amendment of the federal constitution, and it ; ought to be made eo as'to give am extra vote }or two im certain cases, according to the measure of the taxation of this or that indi- tion’ go together.

The Mayor, Comptroller and Corporation Counsel Arraigned Before Governor Fenton. We understand’ that a series of cliarges are being prepared against Mayor Gunther, Cor- poration Counsel’ Develin and Comptroller Brennan, which are to be laid before Governor Fenton, at Albany; during the present week, in connection with a:‘memoria! praying for the immediate removal of those officials. Thus the rapid revolutions of ttie-wheels of polities bring about many curious and remarkable changes in the political fortunes of our city politicians. But a short time ago: the friends of*Mayor Gunther, and, in fact, tie Mayor himself, were busy trumping up charges against City Inspec- tor Boole, and importuring Governor Seymour for his removal. Mr. Seymour listened ‘ atten- . tively to their speeehes and recitations of affi- davits, as well as to Boote’s rejoinder. In ac- cordance with his usual’ custom of trying to please both sides, he mad both parties believe that he would decide in their favor. Thus the affair drifted along until’ the Governor went out of office, without being decided either way. The Legislature: then took uy” the charges, and, efter many long hours of serious ‘investigation, dismissed the case. Now we find the tables have turned. Some of those very men who were co-operating with Mayor Gunther agninst Boole are now connected with the movement in filing charges against Mr. Gunther himself, and have included the Comptroller-and Corporation Counsel in thelist. It is altogether probable that they will meet with a different .Tesalt before Governor Fenton. He is-a dilfer- ent kind of a man from Governor Seymour. His fault, instead of delay; is in making up his miird too soon. He is expected to decide at ‘sight, and remove those- officials at once. Tho ‘first notice that they wilf receive wilt undoubt- edly be that their heads: are in: the - chip , Basket. It is reported that among the charges’ enu- merated is one to the effect that Comptroller | Brennan, after issuing a notice that the- fund for the payment of advertising was exhamsted, signed a warrant for tite payment of a bill of , thirty thousand dollars-presented by the - Daily News proprietors, whieh warrant’ was counter- ‘signed by Mayor Gunther and cashed | iu Wall lution, it cai never be secured except by anew: revolution.” At the lasi resort, he says, from the war powers which the rebellion has given us, we hold “the political systems of the robel States at the discretion of the republic.” year.

According to the hints thrown out by Mr. Dana there will be a fight in Congress by the radicals against the recognition of any rebel State reorganiza- tion which shall exclude the blacks from the rights of suffrage, and it is possible that this fight may last for two or three years to come in both houses. According to the apologies from all those speakers in behalf of Andrew Johnson, they intend to support him; but according to the general drift of their speeches and letters they mean to rule or ruin bim with the fierce party excitements of another violent fgitation of the negro question, which nobody scenes over the reorganization of the eity gov- ernment. The twistings end turnings for the spoils under the new régime will present many curious features, Already we have epecule- tions as to the probability of Governor Fenton including negro suffrage in his. reor- ganization policy.

Tax Crovan Hoor.—An Englishman,.s mem- ber of Parliament, in his address to an audience, bas finally dleclosed the real character and purpose of all the interest that England felt on the cide of the South, end of all the bitterness with which the leaders of the English people have opposed and misrepre- sented our efforts to put down the rebellion. Earl Ruseell, Lord’ Palmerstoa, Gladstone, Disraeli, the London: Times, and other London papers have epoken’om this subject often. ‘They have sometimes made'a total denial; at other times they lave given’ reasons—faise, of course. Mr.. RoeBuck is t¥e'first man whe has had the bad Doldwess to tollithe truth om this subject, and let out! the wiiole animus that England fecls against us. Ho’ said on the-Sth inst’, at Shef- field, that England’ ought to Have gone farther in the same direction—ought to have recog- nized the confederacy, and le was oatiafied that if che'‘had “great good would have been done;” and’ the grest good wae this: “the arro- gant, over-bearing and great repubtic’ of America would have been split in two.” That ‘is the point. The~ power whose growth and “greatness England" fears woul@ have been broken down. While Lord Brougham is telling ws what “our best friends” advise, and while 80 many others of our English enemies are be- sfavering our success with the flankey adula- tion that is 0 perfectly Bnglish fv spirit, it is worth whileto keep in mind Roebuck’s decla- ration, whiclt is thoroughly English too. Roebuck’s animus is ‘apparent enough; but his: argument is: absurd. The recognition of the confederacy by England would’ not have split us in two. Itwould have split ‘Englund in two. It would have made an immense issue between the Exiglish aristocracy and the Eng- lish people; and the aristocracy would have gone down, while five hundred Amorican Ala- bamas would’ have swept English commerce from the seas.
