The conscrip- tion was in active operation in Brazil, all idlers and ‘those who could not show exemption being gathered up by the police and hustled into the army, and it was thought that oxemptions would soon be completely swept away, as the Emperor bad called imperatively for thirty thousand additional men. A reviow of all the allied armies at Concordia, consix'ing of twenty thousand troops, took place on the 23d of July, and it is ald they were in & splendid condition and presented a fine appenr- ance. The people of Buenos Ayres are much rejoiced over ‘the prospect of soon having rogular steam communica tion with New York, the Buenos Ayrean Congress having granted an annual subsidy of twenty thousand dollars for the extension of the New York and Rio Janciro line 0 that place.

Tho old Pro-slavery and secession spirit was expected to show itaelf in the State coavention, as some of the delegates wore congratulating thomselves on their belief that slavery is not yet dead. An interesting insight of the motives and feelings which governed the directors of the Danville Railroad Com- pany, of Virginia, during the rocent meeting, Ifsting some days, in the election of a President, is furnished in our Richmond correapondence. The rebel General Joseph E. Johnston was the almost unanimous choice of the Board, and their action on his nomina- tion was watched with great interest throughout a con- siderable portion of the South by those lately engaged in the rebellion, as, our correspondent states, if he had been chosen, and had been permitted by the governnient to, hold the position, it would have been regarded as a concession in favor of late prominent rebels which would encourage.the lesser lights and the masses of that frater- nity to rally for the purpose of rogaining their lost governmental power. It ts said that Northern capital also was enlisted in his favor; but, as we havo heroto- fore announced, the directors, being suspicious that the authorities at Washington would not allow Johnston to assume the dutios of the office if elected, deemed it best not to run the risk, and so chose Mr. A. 9.

Early, of Virginia, the oftenest and worst whipped officer of the war, and who knew better than any other rebel general how fast Sheridan’s troopers could ride and bow hard they could fight, are making vigorous offorts to secure for him a pardon from the President. On Thursday Samuel H.

Tho State, it is true, suffered no loss, and could suffer none, by tho transaction; bat auch proceedings open tho door to speculation and. corruption. Besides, State and county treasurors aro specially forbidden by law to make such uae of the funds in their keeping, and aro required to keep them untonched and safo in the treasury till called for by the proper requisitions. The penalty fur violation of this legal regulation ts removal from office and con- finemont in State prison. The prevailing distress and threatened starvation among the negro laboring population in tho istand of Jamaica has been heretofore noticed in the Hera’. Some additional facts regarding tho matter are given by our Kinzston correspondent. A deputation appointed lately ‘Ata ineeting of the negroes waited upon the Governor, Tepresented their sufferings, and requested that ho would lay before the English government a statement of their grievances.

It is not impossible that this story may be true, and yet it is probable that it may be false; but, true or false, the mere atory itself hows how largely Fenianism occu- pies men’s thonghts on the other side of the water, It is worthy of particular notice how materi- ally the Londen Times has changed its tone on this subject. At first it langhed at it. {ts only recognition was sneer. Our full accounts of the Fenian organization excited ita most boisterous mirth, and it presented its readers with a choice description of the double nature of Irishmen, and pictured how with one nature they trailed pikes in the moonlight on the hills, while all the time the real Irishman. the owner of this imaginary other existence, was busy in the manufactory or field as an Eaglishman’s drudge. But now the Times has gotten over that. It does not laugh now; it argues. Some one whose senses it can credit, and who is a good fat, respectable person—a magis- trate, perhaps—an Englishman, of course— has seen these Irishmen at drill—in the fleeh— and is satisfied they are not spectres, but real stalworth fellows, as good as those who fight in the Queen’s regiments, and so the Times relin- quishes its laugh. The Times ventures to hope that, after all, it may not be much, and that by and by these young fellows will give up their drill and take the Queen’s shilling. It warns them also that there is in every ten of their number one man anxious to sell the rest. Apparently the Times is not satistled with this comfort, but, in its imagination, goes through the whole struggle. It supposes the Fenian quarrel fought out, and even a war with the United States to boot, and then goes on. thus :—“We will not speculate as to the result of the supposed campaign, nor is it neceasary; for in any result, whether sucoess or failure, the Americans would eventually with- draw their force from Ireland, and leave its ex- cited population to our own tender mercies.” ‘And what then? It is very ‘curious to hear the Times concider that that would bo.a. “dark hour” for Ireland. This is the same Times, let it be remembered, thatvhas berated our Ameri- can barbarity, and has given us over to the devil entirely, because we were not ready to give the kiss ot peace to all those rebela who lately tried to destroy our government. This is that same saint Ant it seems to suppose that England would punish her rebels. Can England be cruel, barbarous, brutal—as bad as we are? “There is such # thing as martial law,” says the Times, “and there have been some commanders apt to givo a free vont to their senso of indignation and their hatred of treason.” Certainly; bui are they not all Amer- icuns? Were thore ever any such comman- ders in English armies, or are there any now? This, truly, is a new view of the nature of the philanthropic, lamb-like English people. Tue Pronrpirion or Stavery—-Tun ONLY War to Do Ir.—The Siate Convention for the restoration of Mississippi has engrafted into the revised State constitution a section recog- nizing the abolition of slavery, and interdicting its revival hereafter within the limiia of the Commonwealtb. The active Unionists of Nor'h Carolina have declared themselves in favor of | the prompt insertion in the State constitution of | the federal ordinance of 1787 forever abolish ing slavery or involuntary servitude ia the | State, save in the punishment of crime. We presume, too, that, in conformity with the this condition precedent will be incorporated | into all the new constitutiona af the iate vebal States. So far,so good. But something more will | ‘be needed as security against the fotire ro-og | tablidiment of slavery. A Strie constiitiea’ which prohibits sinvery may se changed an un | The only wax to cnt off the possibiliiy of such a thing ia! to make sure the ratification of that | pending amendment of the federal consti!ution | which declares slavery abolished aud forever interdicted within the linr'is and jurisd‘viion of amendment by a State convention or by 9} poptlar election does not reach the case. The 4 mode adopted by Congress, in pursuance of ' the constitution, requires the ratification by “three-fourths of the Legislatures of the several States.” We shall want for such a ratification only three or four of the late rebellious States to secure the incorporation of said amendment into the federal constitution aa part and parcel of “the supreme law of the land.” Now, then, we venture the opinion that those Southern States engaged in the work of recon- struction which shall be the first to present to Congress respectively a legislative ratification of said amendment will be the first readmitted into Congress. Give us this ratification, and we | shall want nothing else for the perpetual ex- | clusion of slavery from every hole and cerner | of the United States; but nothing short of this will do. i Bows Bonina Numanceus— There appears to be a great effort just now among our city officials to shirk the responsibility for not abating the bone and fat boiling nuisanoos |. which have become so offensive to our citizens and detrimental to the health of those residing in the vicinity of those pestilential establish. | ments. The public very justly, now that the cholera has again started out on its mission, desire to know who ts clothed with the power to abate those concerns and put an end to that jong within the city limits. The Mayor Bye their efforts to exoyl- | pate tim blathe, endeavor to mysiity | the ee be the vain h Sonera will #0 Dd at not eooliden tears to have been In the intorest but also sioneras of Health do not have the power to abate these nuisances under the pre- sent law. It is also equally clear, and in fact admitted by all sides, that the Board of Health, which {s altogether a different body from the Commissioner of Health, has not only the power but full authority to act in the premises, If the one board bas not fall power, or at the best doubtful authority, then the board which ‘is possessed with the power beyond any per adventare is the fody which should act in the premises, and the official who refuses to call that body together is the person responsible for this neglect, There seems to us no occa- sion for all this controversy on this point. It, needs no lawyer, no nicely arranged arguments to point out the person responsible. As long as Mayor Gunther refuses to convene the Board of Health he must bear the odium, and all the efforts of himself to shirk that responsi- bility by mystifying the subject will be of no avail. The public see through it all. It isan attempt to curry favor with both sides for political purposes. But if the cholera makes ite appearance in our midst and its ravages are aggravated by these bone and fat boiling establishments, he will find that he will not only be held responsible for his neglect of duty, but will also be forced to the practical experience that attempting to carry water on both shoulders, in order to obtain votes, is the worst of all experiments. Asovr THe Censvs.—The Board of Super- visors are making a great fuss about the cen- sud, “They are writing to the Secretary of State and to the Governor. They refuse to appro- priate the sum required to pay the enumerators, and so forth. Now there is not the least ne- cessity for all this trouble. The matter can be easfly settled, Thore is no doubt that the State census, as taken, is a gross deception. Enume- ratora have skipped over many houses in their travels, They have had to catechise péeo- pte who were scared by the suspicion that they were agents taking down names for the draft, or that they were tax collectors under the In- terrial Revenue law—a class of visitors who are a8 unwelcome as they are new at our hall doors. In many cases, no doubt, the enume- rators were aot always as civil as they ought to be, and hence they often got a very uncivil reception. Then, again, the law provided that they should make their calls just at a time when many people were in the country. For all these reasons, therefore, the census is neces-: sarily incorrect. But, as we say, there isa very easy remedy. We can obtain a correct account of the population of the metropolis if the Board of Supervisors will only order a census of their own to be taken and pay the expenses of it. This they ought to do for many reasons. The national gov- ernment deems it essential to take a census every ten years. The State govern- ment does the same. We conclude that the interests of this great metropolis are important enough to warrant a censns of our own being taken. The number of the inhabi- tants regulates many things of paramount value to the city—for example, the precautions necessary for the preservation of public health, the equitable distribution of taxation, the poll- tics of tho majority and minority, the vote at elections, the question of representation, and so forth. Therefore it is most desirable that we should havo a correct census, Tt ia evident, howevor, that the slipshod manner of taking the cenaus recently adopted will never do. We must have the plan carried out in England, which is to bave a printed paper left at every house, with the necessary blenksa to be filled on one particular day— sny the first of December. All the information ran be obtained in this way, and the name, i age and occupation of every one resident in every house on that day would be recorded on the printed sheots, which could be called for hy the enumerators. We would thus know the exact number of residents in the city—or Sinte, if it were extendod tothe whole State— om any miven day in the year. Competent consis agents should of course be employed, and we would reapecifully suggest that one of the qualificstiona of said agents should be a knowledge of reading and writing. By adopting such a plan. there would be no bother about iaking the cenaus correctly. Driarinauisnep Reper Exres.—Jobn C. Breck- inridge, late rebel Secretary of War, who left the company of Jeff. Davis in Georgia just in time to make good his escape to Havana, has turned up at Moatreal, in Canada. Whether he haa gone there to meet his family, or to put in an application for a pardon, or to consult with Goorge Sanders in reference to Jako Thomp- son’s contingent Richmond fund for the “ de- tached service ” of Jeff. Davis, we do not know. We presume, however, that Breckinridge has no “great expeétations” of forgiveness from Andy Johnson, and that he will remain in Canada for some time. His secesh colleagues in the United States Senate on the eve of the war are now scattered to the four winds of heaven— Mason an exile in London, Slidell in Paris, Benjamin in Cuba, Green and Polk (of Missour!) the Lord knows where, Toombs en route for Mexico or Brazil, Hunter asking permission to leave his country, Duke Gwin (of Oalifornia) dancing attendance upon Maximilian, Mallory (of Florida) a prisoner, Nicholson (of Tennes-, see) begging for a pardon, and Wigfall a strag- gler on the road from Texas to Mexico; while Seif. himeelf, with his Canadian collesgue of Jake Thompson, the consequential Clement C. Clay, is snugly housed in Fortress Monroe. The beauties of his Southern confederacy as thus suggested to Breckinridge in Canada must be very interesting. Meantime Andy Johnson, the only Senator from the rebel States— Faithfnl among the faithloss, faithful only he— the only man of them who had the patriotism and moral courage to stick to the Union when his State went drifting into the delnge of the rebellion, is now the man upon whose word it depends whether allof these Senatorial exiles all so remain or whether some of them shall be permitted to return to the government and the country which ‘they betrayed. Was there ever man in the world who held a prouder posi- tion than that which Andy Johnson holds to- | day? Such is the reward of hia fdeliiy in tin hour of danger. 1865. =~ =— ; Pictrcanow or tam Renet. Inptns—OTHER Iyouna—A “treaty of permanent peace” I between the United States and certain Indian tribes that were demoralized by the Southern gonfederacy was signed at Fort Smith, Arkansas, On Thursday last, By this treaty the tribes acknowledge themselves under the protection of the United States, and agree to recognize its juris- diction in all respects and not to enter into allegiance with any foreign Power. The tribes that sign this treaty are the Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Cowskins, Osages, Quapaws, Sem- inoles, Senecas and Shawnees. These tribes probably nurber in the aggregate about sixty thousand souls, and they are all the Indians of Western Arkansas. Their ready disposition to acknowledge the error of their ways, and their consequent pacification, are, therefore, an im- portant step toward the restoration of order in that State, and aa such we are glad to hear sof it, ei But these are not the Indians whom it is most important to pacify. They are not the ones whose hostility is the greatest obstacle to the development of our Western country. It was well to settle the troubles in Arkansas, : but we are more imperatively urged to settle the Indian troubles with the great tribés like } the Sioux that lie further north and directly in the way of the immenge tide of emigration that we must count upon for the practical de- velopment of the great mineral wealth of the nation. An Indian war that is ready to burst into the fury of massacre at any moment, to Gesolate the frontier and to make the camp fire of the emigrant train a scene of horrible butchery, must necessarily be a great obstacle to emigration and settlement; and as a first step toward the true development of our Ter- ritories it is necessary for the government to render such a war impossible. There appears to be no way to make peace with the Indians positively certain but by the most decisive measures with the refractory tribes, and there is no argu- ment of, either expedioncy or humanity that can for a moment stand in the way of such a policy. The only question is as to the means. We print an admirable communi- cation on this subject in another column. Our correspondent shows the futility—the nonse! ral almost—of the ordinary mode of pee pursued against th lbes in. the summer. He suggests a winter campaign, and his argu- ments show conclusively that such a campalgn is not only practicable, but that it is the only one that can possibly accomplish the desired result. His communication will well repay perusal,.and the subject is of such importance as to demand the full consideration of the gov- ernment. Tax -Souruern Episoorat, Brsxors.—The re- union of the Protestant Episcopal Charch is mow a subject of considerable interest to its members throughont the United States, Such prelates as Bishop Elliot hang back from the pro- posed union, atating their wishes with reserve, unless certain difficulties are got over to their satisfaction. The principal one appears to be as to the validity of prelatic ordination, which has occurred in the oase of two Southern bish- ops by the seceded church. We would simply inquire of Bishop Elliot if he did not once sub- scribe to the following declaration and oath:—“In the name of God; Amen. I, —, chosen Bishop of the Protestant Episco- pat Church in ——; do promise conformity and obedience to the doctrines, discipliné and wor- ship of the Protestant Episcopal Chnrch in the United States of America. So help me God, through Jesus Christ.” And is not that church of the United States still his superior, and have not his departure from it and his traitorous ser- mons since the rebellion broke out made him a achismatic and liable to its censures? His present conduct, if so, is not excusable, and in 8 loyal convention of the bishops (for all the prayers it utters are loyal) it will be a matter of astonishment if he escapes rebuke. Can he or any other rebel bishop, now tht the Union is restored, pretend that he owes conformity and obedience to any other Protestant Episco- pal Church but that of the United States? Or are churchmen indifferent to thoir engagements and their oaths? Tue Hon.
