President Jobnson yesterday settled the controversy regarding the position of South Carolina by appointing Benjamin F, Perry, of Greeuville, in that State, to be tts Provisional Governor, The instructions to the new ap- pointee and the regulations for a restoration of civil government in the Palmetto State are preci-ely similar to those contained in the Presidential proclamations appoint- ing Provisional Governors for other States. Gov. Perry is to make arrangements for holding at the earliest practi- cable period an election to choose members of a conven- tion whose duty it shall be to alter or amend the State constitution, and to take the proper steps for a restora- tion of civil authority throughout the Commonwealth. No persons but those thoroughly loyal to the national government, and who shall take the oath of allegiance, Will be ailowed to vote for members of the convention or to be candidates for membership. By this appointment the only State of the Union now remaining without a Governor, either elected by the people or appointed by the President, is Florida; and no doubt sho will shortly be provided with an Executive.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The government steamer Galatea, Commander Nichol- son, arrived hore yesterday, from Cape Haytien on the 24th ult. Two more railway accidonts of # moat disastrous: cha- racter are recorded in our columns this morning. In the first instance part of a train om the Hudson River Rail- way was pitched over the embankmont at Irvington into the river yesterday afternoon, through the switch being turned the wrong way. One of the passengers, a Gor- man named Hoffman, was killed on the spot, and seven other passengers and a number of returned soldiers were seriously injured, one of them, it is feared, fatally. But for the bravery of the engineer and fireman, who re- mained at their posts and did their best to avert the catastrophe, the whole train would have been hurled down the steep into the Hudson, and the loss of life must have boen fearful, At the time of the accident the switchman, who bears a high character, was away at- tending to other duties at the depot. The second accident occurred on the New Haven and Harlem Railroad, and though less serious in its conse- quences, was equally the result of official neglect. About nine o'clock yesterday morning a New Haven train, travelling at a high rate of speed, was crossing the trostle work bridge near Yorkville at the samo time that a Har. Jem train was crossing in the other direction. The vi- bration and consequent heavy strain upon the timber work caused the bridge to settle, the sides of the cars of the two trains came in contact, and the wood work of the Harlem car was extensively shattered. Several of the passengers were injured, but none killed, At a meeting of the officers of the voiunteer Fire De- partment, held at Firemen’s Hall on Friday evening, re- solutions were adopted, by a vote of twenty-nine to four, after an animated debate, declaring that the present de. partment will continue to do duty a8 usual until the 1st of August, provided the new Commissioners agree to then give honorable discharges to all the members, but that in case the Commissioners will not concede this the volunteer firemen will discontinue service on the 10th inst. The street cleaning under the direction of the new con- tractors was commenced yesterday. They bad but a small force of men at work, but entertain no doubt that they will soon have the necessary number. William D, Mann and Daniel Stratton, Jr., the two men charged with heavy swindling. in connection with the United Service Petroleum Company, have been locked up, in defaylt of fifteen thousand dollars bail each, to await the result of the legal investivation, which will be commenced to-morrow afternoon before Justice Dodge, at the Jefferson Market Police Court. The police magistrates disposed of the following among other cases yesterday :—Jobn MeGoldrich and Jobn Cro- gan were held for trial, in default of twenly-five hundred dollars bil cach, charged with stealing two thousand dollars worth of jewelry from Miss Amelia Rice, of East Twenticth street, during an excursion to Stryker’s Bay, on the 22d ult. A man giving his name as Edward Bar- rett was committed for trial charged with stealing six hundred and fifty dollars from the pocket of Mr. 3. T. W. Sandford, of 215 Fulton street, in a Broadway stage. After his arrest Barrett acknowledged the theft and gave up the money. Another alleged pickpocket, named James Wilson, was arrested after a Jong and hot chase, and locked up for trial, charged with snatching a gold watch from the pocket of Mr. Henry W. Rowland, of Hudson street, while he was entering an Eighth avenue car. The watch was recovered. John Schneider was committed on charge of picking the pocket of Mr, Samuel A. Brown, No, 342 West Thirty-sixth street, of about seven hundred dollars, while the two were sitting together, on Friday night, on a stoop in Sixteenth street. George Deloir, a Canadian, was locked up on charge of stealing about five hundred dollars from Jeremiah Davis, at a louse in Water street, The Schuetzen delegations who are to represent the New York Schnetzen organizations at the German national sharpshooting contest at Bremen, took their ment have disbanded cight companies o” that organiza- tion, The members of one of these, Engine Company No. 11, last night indulged in some disorderly proceed- ings, which, however, the police soon stopped. Adespatch from Lacrosse, Wisconsin, says that a tor- nado yesterday passed over Union county, in that State, which killed seventeen persons, injured about one hun- dred and prostrated fifty dwellings. The minority of the democratic caucus, held in Colum- bus, Ohio, lately, headed by Alexander Long, have issued an official document to the democracy of the State of Ohio, reiterating the old doctrine of State sovereignty. A revolution in favor of organizing the democratic party in the State on the pure basis of State sovereignty was offered in the regular session of the State Central Com- mittee, but after being debated an hour or more was declared out of order, The minority, however, per- sist in the agitation of the question, and agnounce that they will, before the 24th of Angust, hold a State nomi- nating convention, for the purpose of choosing a State ticket which they can support.

The facts and data given by our Texas cor- , in the communication which wo publish to-day, will be found not only interest- ing but of the highest importance, showing, as they do, happy, harmonious and mutual ar- rangements between the late rebel forces in Texas and the imperial party in Mexico. It would seem to be an established fact that each party rendered the other all the assistance in their power, whether the assistance asked was in increasing their respective forces, furnishing supplies in clothing or matériel of war, or trading in cotton. On all these points there was @ mutual understanding—an extensive con- traband trade carried on, which did not even respect the articles contained in the stipulations under the surrender of the rebel forces to the United States authorities, The facts re- lated thus should be officially investigated by the government, in order to let the world seo what the boasted neutrality of the French government has been. Among the mass of facta on this point are several captured letters, some of the number being in, the form of offictal reports, which state explicitly in detail the agreemonts between the rebels and imperialists. Foremost in im- portance are the letters of Brigadier General Slaughter, of the late rebel army, in which it is stated that amicable arrangements have been established with the imperial or Maximilian commander of the port of Bag- dad, on the Rio Grande. In these official communications General Slaughter explicitly states that the imperial commander had agreed to permit all the arms, ammunition and other matériel of war to pass over the river from Mexico to Texas, to the full extent desired by the confederacy. In addition to this, it is offi- cially stated that the imperial officer asserted that “he had received private instruction” to that end. Frorefthis statement General Slaugh- ter philosophizes that the cause of Maximilian in Mexico is identical with the interests of the confederacy, and vice versa. In order that this harmonious arrangement may be more fully shown, General Slaughter further states that he bas received a communication from the im- perialists that a bearer of despatches from the Juarez party to the federal government has passed into Texas, and that “he has sent out seouts to intercept him.” Here, then, is the direct statement that they are doing each other’s work. But all this the rebel General states is only in accordance with his pro- gramme with General Mejia before the late commander sat Bagdad arrived and assumed his duties. These arrangements extended to a contraband trade in cotton. Millions upon millions of dollars’ worth of cotton was run ont of Texas by the rebels into Mexico under this alliance, and immense fortunes made by the leading rebel officials in that locality. When the federal forces reached Brownsville long lines of wagon trains, loaded with cotton, were arriving from all directions, a portion of which fell into our bands. But this being discovered by the rebel speculators, couriers were despatched to meet the trains and turn tbem towards Rio Grande City, where large amount, not only of cotton, but of am- munition and implements of war, which were enumerated in the stipulations of surrender, were passed into Mexico. Since the imperial commander stated that he had private instructions to assist the rebels, the question is, who gave him those private in- structions? Did he receive them from General Mejia, Maximilian or Emperor Napoleon? The letters of General Slanghter state that this offi- cer had recently arrived from Europe, and the inference is that he received his private in- structions from Napoleon himself. Where, then, is the boast of the French journal in this city and the Emperor’s home organs of the strict neutrality of the French government in our affairs? Does this look as though the French had rendered the rebels no assistance? Here is the official statement of a rebel general that all the assistance asked for has been rendered. What has Napoleon to say in reply to these de- velopments? There may have possibly been some excuse to palliate the course ef the French authorities in the case of the Stonewall, but there is no excuse or possible apology for this trade on the Rio Grande. It has been carried on boldly, in defiance of international law and in direct confilet with the professions not only of Maximflian, but of the Empe- ror Napoleon. The fact of the mat- ter is, this Mexican expedition of Na- poleon has been a doublo-faced thing throrghout. He violated his pledges to Eng- land. He represented to that government that it was only for the purpose of settling clalms, and not to inierfere with the local govern- ment. The English government soon saw that they had been deceiv. d and were being used to overthrow the existi ¢ power and establish a monarchy, ond with :ew from the alliance. Napoleon then held cit plausible theories to our government, pledging neutrality, which now appears to be of the same character as the pledges to England, and only a cover to more ensily aiding and assisting our enemies. The daily developments are constantly adding to the evidence that the Mexican enterprise of the French was not only for the purpose of upset- ting the republic ot Mexico, but through it to render all the assistance possible to those in rebellion against the United States, and thus destroy and break up the largest and strongest republican government in the world. In this he has failed, and now the tricks and devices of | Napoleon are becoming knowa, and will soon be brought home to him with the force of revo- In the meantime we trust that President Johnson will lose no time in in- vestigating these developments on the Rio Grande, and, if proven true, in calling Napoleon to an account for his double dealing.

The civil war which lately rent our country is now happily over, but the days of restored peace find us far from being in the same posi- tion which we occupied previous to the strug- gle. The leaders of the South, though failing in the object for which they threw their section into revolution, have not failed to revolution- ize both the political ideas of our people and the future destiny of the States. By the courage of our soldiers, the organizing industry of the War Department and the genius of our generals in the field, we have brought back the Union and enthroned it again in paramount authority; but let none be weak enough to imagine that our national government. of the again be, “the Union as it was.” The Union of the old constitution lived its day, falfilled its mission, became inadequate to the expand- ing wants of the country, and is now no more. It was of admirable model for that period of our national in- fancy to meet whose needs it was created; but in the eddying whirlwind and earthquake of the late rebellion its delicate adjustment of machinery proved unequal to the strain, and our rulers were obliged from time to time to supplement its failing powers by the arbitrary enactments of what was called “military ne- oossity.” To save the national life and keep its current flowing full and free, it became re- quisite now and then during the deluge of civil war to break down some of the constitutional limitations which were its old banks or boun- darios; and the mistake of our Northern copper- heads lay in this, that they mistook the mere dead and motionless banks on either side for the living and resis'less current, and cried that our liberties were perishing, when in fact the rushing volume of the American or democratic idea was only spreading over a wider extent of space and channelling out a broader, deeper and loss obstructed course for its future pro- gress. While certain technical violations of the old constitution, however, were thus essential to the salvation of the country during the past four years, and were therefore justified, it is clear that such violations, now that we are again at peace, should be brought to an ond as rapidly as possible. The laws, only interrupted by force, should be allowed to: re- sume thelr normal sway; and every effort of the national Executive be directed to clearing away the wreck and restoring the old ship of State to that goodly and gallant trim in which: she rode when the tornado of domestic strife first struck her quivering hull. The jury-moats of “military necessity” should be replaced by the spars and rigging proper to the dignity and essential to the orderly progress of the vessel in her new career;, and, since it has been proved that the old constitution is inadequate to con- trol or cover the present developments of our national expansion, no time should be lost in taking the requisite steps to secure a new, im- proved and enlarged chart for our future guid- ance. Ina word—to quit metaphor—the ad- ministration of President Johnson should take steps at the earliest possiblo momont to se- cure a revision of the organic law of the land,- so that hereafter we may not be compelled to persist in certain technical violations of the ex- isting constitution, but may be provided with a now and amended instrument, wifose pro- visions will be adequate to all the emergencies, and in harmony with the new ideas which the: subsiding deluge of civil war will be found to have deposited over the political surface of the: country. The objects for which the Southern leaders plunged into revolution were twofold; the first being to retain political ascendency for their section, and the second to enlarge the area of remit in only making bad worse is equally cleer. But while thus leaving to each individ- usf the right of suffrage as at present, might it not be well in framing the new constitution which i# a0 urgently needed, to create in the revised! instrument some provision for giving representation to property? Let each voter as now qualified retain his vote and use it as he pleases; ButJet the tax lists of the country be made a basis on which each mun’ holding pro- perty, in a greater or less degree, shall cast ad- ditional votes: im somo established’ ratio with his possessions: This, in its present’ form, is. a mere suggestion, but will be found to'merit the’ profound attentiom of the best intellsets in the land; for unless some bulwark can be' raised within the next tem or half dozen years, to’ serve as & breakwater between property snd the power of individuals, the capital so lavishly and patriotioally invested in the support of the: war, will, at the end of the time named, be’ completely at the meroy of a majority, kaving no knowledge of any personal interest in its- Preservation, and eager'to repudiate it as‘am unrecompensed burden. Some of the Curk from the Income: Liste. The income lists for 1864, now in course of: publication, present. some very curious facts, By comparing them with the returns for the previous year we obtain many queer develop- ments. For example, one man who had no income in 1863 now returns nimety-four thou- sand dollars. Another, under the same cir- cumstances, returns eighty-eight thousand. On the other hand, the incomes of regular business men, like Moses Taylor, vary very little. Mr. Taylor returns about five thousand dollars less than in 1863 on an income of over five hundred thousand. Take the cases of two of our leading dry goods merchants as instances of curious fluctuations. One merchant returns an int come of six hundred thousand for 1864. His sales were over forty-two millions of dollars. The next highest sales in dry goods were over thirty-nine millions of dollara. But the mer- chant through whose hands this immense amount of money passed returns an income of only three hundred thousand dollars. The previous year he returned an income of one million eight hundred thousand dollars—the: largest in the: city. This tremendous fluctua- tion startles everybody and shows to what changes our business men are subjected. Astor was generally considered the richest man in the city, aad people were astonished when, in 1863, he-returned an income of only eight hundred thousand, and was eclipsed by the: dry goods merchant with his million of dollars more: But the present returns show that the merchant has fallen to three hundred thousand, whereas Astor, whose property is in real estate‘and bonds, and is never diminished or increased by speculation, will appear at the old figure, or possibly a little higher. It is evident that many persons return larger incomes than: they actually possess, and pay the taxes on'them; too, in order to maintain a business or a social standing, and to get credit. A pork dealer who has recently eloped to Eu rope, and. carried with him, it is said, half a million of dollars-of other people’s money, re- turned an income of fifleen thousand in 1863, and of thirty thousmnd in 1864, Really he had, we presume, no: income at all. Again, there are persons who live at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, keep thoir carriages, and have a box at the opera, and yet only return an income of six hundred dollars, This is jocosely accounted for by the-fact that every man has a right to deduct his House‘rent from his income, and by the supposition:that each one of these persons deducts tlie rental of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Matrimonial! alliances are often based upon the income lista, some adventurer being willing to pay the tax upon fifty thousand dollars in order to: get a rich wife.

In those objects they failed; but the rovolution which they set in motion for their own ends accomplished ite career, though producing results directly the opposite of those which the originators hoped. Slavery, which the framers of our present con- stitution found existing om this continent os an institution of foreign growth, in place of be- ing strengthened by the rebellion is now utterly extinct; and the extreme theory of State rights, which the fire-eaters of the Gulf States invoked as the palladium or magna charta of their trea- son, now slinks into a corner with crippled wing, and is in such bad repute that even its good qualities are likely to be improperly overlooked and disregarded in the general detestation of the errors which it was strained to cover. If only for a final settlement of the slavery question, with its incidental correlative of negro sutfrnge, a deliberate and authori. | tative utterance of the American people in the shape of a new constitution is urgently needed; while for the re-establishment of relations be. tween the revolted States and the national gov- ernment, and for the exact demarcation of the Just limits of State sovereignty in the future, the measure we advise becomes a paramount | necessity.
