CONGRESS. Ia the Sonate yesterday tho Niagara Ship Caval bill was postponed until December next by a vole of 24 ‘ageinat 13, A discussion sprang up between Mr, Trum- ball and Mr. Hendricks, in which the whole question of the status of the rebel States was treated. Tho Northern Pacific Railroad bill was then taken up, but nothing was Gone in regard to it. In the House the bill making appropriationa for the Oivil expenses of the government was taken up. Among other amendments adopted, one appropriating $10,000 for additional station houses and life-boate along ‘the const of New Jersey, between Sandy Hook and Little ‘gg Harbor, and $5,000 for repairing and lighting the Ughthouse at Tucker's Beach, on the coast of New Jor- fey, wos adopted. The bill was then passed. Mr. Mor- rill, from the Committee on Ways and Meane, reported a ‘Rew tariff bill, which is a partial revision of the ono late. recommutted. The Pennsylvania contested election being under consideration, a resolution retaintog ‘Mr, Daweon in his seat was adopted. Announcement was made at adjournment that there would be @ caucus of republican: mormbers in the hall thie evening.

Our special correspondence from Venice, London, Paris and Malaga, published this morning, contains mat- ter of considerable interest relative to the condition of affairs induced by the existence of the great war crisis on the Continent of Europe and the peculiarly difficult Ministerial crisis in England. Although martial law was proclaimed by the Spanish government in Malaga, and war vossols of tho Queen threatened the freedom and lives of its inhabitants, we find the authorities glorifying the “victory”? of Callao by dramatic representations in the theatre. The miscellaneous war items also given contain much useful information, The motion of Mr. McGivern, in the Canadian Parlia- ment, adverse to receiving the financial report of Mr. Galt, the Minister of Finance, was voted upon yestorday and lost by a large majority. The Tariff bill, however, is not yet adopted, and it is probable will not be, not- withstanding the government victory just achieved. The damage from the Fenian raid in both sections of Canada amounts to about Atty thousand dollars. Groen Clay Smith, of Kentucky, has been confirmed ‘as Governor of the Térritory of Montana.

The loss is twenty thousand dopara, The gambling dens in New Orleans have been ordered closed by the Mayor, General Sherman was in Boston yesterday, and was enthusiastichily received. The Cabinet Country. Doolittle and Dixon have been making some noise in the world. They are two conservative republican Senators, wha, earnestly adhering to the Union policy of Andrew Johnson, have been particularly active and instrumental in gotting up the call for the independent National Johnson Union Convention, which is to meet in ane on the 14th of August, In this connection tt seems that Senator Doolitwe ap- plied the test to Mr. Postmaster General Denni- son which has revealed him in his true oolors, and which promises at least a partial recon- struction of the Cabinet. The test was the on- dorsement of this Philadelphia Convention. As Mr. Welles, of the Navy Department, in re- ply to a note from Mr. Doolittle, has written a long patriotic letter, fully endorsing the Presi- dent’s policy and the said conventéon, and flatly denouncing the radical policy of Congress as unconstitutional and revotutionary, we inter thata note from Mr. Doolittle on the same sub- ject wos addressed to every other member of the Cabinet. We also conclude from the re- ports that Messrs. Stanton, Harlan and Speed aro to follow in the wake of Mr. Dennison, that they, too, have resolved to adhere to Congress, upon the simple issue of Congress or the Ad- ministration. Mr. Secretary McCulloch, in his late speech to @ serenading party at Washington, had already so far defined his position in favor of the President as to bring down upon himself the wrath of “Old Thad Stevens,” while Mr, Seward, in his Fourth of July grateful, gra- cious, facetious and romantic letter: to when he said “there is nothing new under the sun.” The chances of ihe retention in the Cabj- net of Messrs. Seward, McCulloch and Welles are very good. If they desired, however, to give the President a perfectly fair field for a thorough- going reorganization, they would follow the example of Martin Van Buren, as General Jackson's Secretary of State, by handing in their resignations. In the course that they have pursued they restrict the President, after all, to a sort of half-way reorganization. The radical cancus of Congress, meantime, getting wind of Doolittle’s manipulations of the Cabinet, rallied to the fight as promptly as the Austrians in the Quadrilateral. They re- solved, on motion of their old fighting chief- tain, Stevens, to hold every republican member of either House a renegade who should support this Philadelphia Conservative Convention, and thus the issue between Congress and the Presi- dent was made as clear as the old Cabinet quar- rel between Cathoun and Jackson. It may be that Doolittle was Coing it little too fast in offering this temptation to the radicals while Congress was still in session. At any rate, they have seized upon this Philadelphia Con- vention and promptly used it for their own purpores. It isevident now that they will keep one House or the other on guard over the Presi- dent end his appoiatmenis through all the in- terval till nexi December, It is possible, in- deed, that they may on some pretext or other, aa ihe fight goes on, bring up the venerable Mr. Welles or the outspoken McCulloch to what Stevens calls the “grand inquest of the nation” on charges of impeachmen!. Some of the radi- cals, through their favorite journals, have pro- | fessed serious apprehensions of revolutionary assumptions of power by the President, from which we infer that they do not propose them- selves to stop at any half-way measures in the prosecution of their own revolutionary schemes. | The Philadelphia Conservative Johnson Na- | tional Convention, we perceive, is to be made | up one-balf of the elements from the Union war party of the country, and the other half of | the democretic elements, north and south, all | fusing on the Johnson platform. This ix a arind idea for the reconstruction of the demo. eratic party ; but how it will work we are somewhat doubtful. Thurlow’ Weed, it is sur- mised, deserted the movement, carrying off his representative in Congress on the discovery that the old democratic elements in the con- vention would rule it regardless of Weed’s in- structions, and so leave him out in the cold ; while the New York shent-per-shent clique seem to distrust the enterprise as promising no immediate rewards of offices in the face of s radical Senate. The regular copperhead fac- tion, however, have an organ which has hit upon an expedient to secure at once the spoils, It is the simple expedient on the part of the President of forcing the members eleot from the excluded States into Congress at the point of the bayonet, or of dispersing “ the long Parliament,” 2 la Cromwell. Calhoun, it will be remembered, denounced the old democratic party as a league of spoils- men, “held together by the cohesive power of the public plunder.” In this idea Cslhoun was right, but he did not cover the whole ground, for it was from their wranglings over the “public plunder” that the old democracy were broken up and the country was thrown into all the horrors of civil war, The same demorslizing effects are now broadly develop- ing themselves in the republican party, and the same ravenous appetite for the spoils still prevails among the copperhead politicians of the democratic party, It is with those clashing elements of corruption, spoliation and revolu- tion that President Johnson has to deal, and with which the conservative law-abiding American people have to deal. Nor do we know of any other way of safety to the admin- istration and the people than the quiet con- stitutional way which is now open to them for a new Congress through our approaching fall elections. If this approaching Phihidelphia Convention, adhering faithfully to the Johnson platform, will make its immediate object the election of a conservative Congress, it may do something. Otherwise there ls danger that | the movement will be productive of nothing but mischief. The first and most pressing public necessity is a new Congress, for the present Congress has proved itself utterly corrupt and Wholly unfit to save the Treasury or to restore to us union and peace between tho two sec- tions or the two races, or law and order, where discords and terror still prevail. Imperialism in Mexico and the Liberal Feuds. The news from Mexico still continues to pre- sent many interesting vhases. The difficulties surrounding the imperial government appear to be daily incréasing, and unless Maximiliqn soon leaves he will be compelled to make a desperate fight to be able to effect nis retreat, He, however, exhibits considerable pluck in trying to keep up sppearancés 1n face of the fact that both the French and Austrians are too much occupied with the complications nearer home to render him any assistanco or give him ‘@-moment’s consideration. But the increased activity of the iberals is daily incroasing the dangers of his empire and must sooner or later force him to leave. The idea that he can ob- tain sufficient support among the native popu- lation to sustain himself without aid from Aus- tra or France, is perfectly preposterous. Tho events transpiring around him show the impos- sibility of this, Even the workmen engaged in the construction of railroads and other improve- ments, under the auspices of the Emperor, have now turned against him and are fighting for the fiberal cause. These facts are straws which show the drift of public opinion in that country and reveal the dangers which throaicn Maxi- milian. When we add to the fact the financial distress of the empire, it would seem that tho Austrian prince would be anxious to leave that country as soon as possihie, Nothing short of the fouda between the fac- tions on the liberal side oan possibly furnish Maximilian any hope of success under the pres- ent circumstances, Th's may be one of the secrets of Maximilian’s efforts to austain himself against the otherwise apparent adverse circum- stances. While the empire, financially, is in a bad way it is also apparont that the othor side is also in distress on th's point, Bnt while Maximilian capnot obiain any assistance from the people, and musi rely upon the French army chest for his current expenses, the liberals bave the usual support of the people of the country, who will come forward with their means to the full extent of their ability, the moment that they can see that beneficial results will follow. The letter from the liberal General Rivora, which we published yesterday, throws consid- able light upon this subject. It seems that but little taith is placed upon the promises of Na- poleon to withdraw the French troops, and that Rivera and othor liberal generals enter- tain the same opinion as that held by General Grant, that the foreign troops will be with- drawn only under the protest of musket and cannon. But if wo do not mistake the temper of the Mexican people and their increased en- thusiasm under the moral support of the United States, they will very soon bring about the forced withdrawal. As soon as the people be- come convinced that this will be the result, the flaances of the republic will present alto- gether a different phase. General Rivera, in his letter, also throws considerable light upon the cause of the feud among the liberal factions. It seems that they bury all differences when contending with the common enemy, and fight togethor in the same cause. But while this ls the position of affairs on the surface, the coup d’dat which Juarez’ Prime Minister, Loredo de Tejada, in- duced Juarez to commit, and thus extend his torm, in violation of the express provision of the constitution, has opened the doors for all manner of intrigues among the ambitious generals io secure the same position. The moment that the party at the head of the gov- ernment performs an unconstitutional sct, all others are encouraged to carry out thelr am- hition in violation of law. It is evident that Maximilian is trying to take advantage of this circumstance by increasing the dissensions as much as possible. Advices received still later than those contained in General Rivera's letter are to the effect that Maximilian has promised Juarez that if he will continue to discharge the dutica of President of the republic that he (Maximilian) will resign ia bis favor, in the event of his being forced to leave. This is conclusive that Maximilian hopes by thus en- couraging Juarez to so divide his opponents and keep the factions quarrelling thet he will be able to sustain himself and retain bi® posi- tion through the dissensions of his opponents. The only safety for any government, especially republican, is to conduct its administration in aceordance with the spirit of its charter. It thns sets an example to all vartles to respect the laws, and places an effectuad barrier in the | tion of $317, way of internal dissension. Juares, In failing to follow this principle, has opened the door to all manner @f feuds, which, as shown by Gen- eral Rivern, are now seriously embarrasing the republican cause in that country. But all this can be remedied by our government forming a treaty with the legally consituted authorities of that country as expressed by the constitution. It is reported that General Banks is now en- gaged on an elaborate report on Mexican mat- ters, and he should take this fact into consid- eration. By so doing he will render valuable service to the American people and materially aid the settlement of the present difficulties in Mexico. Death and Burial of the Tariff Bill. The Tariff bill, which occupied the House of Representatives so long in the ‘midst of. the “heated term,” and which passed that body by a large majority on Tuesday last, lived only two days after. The Senate on Thursday killed it as “dead as @ mitten.” The prompt dispo- sal of this infamous measure was called a post- ponement of it, or a reference of it to the Finance Committee, with instructions to report at the next session in December. It is possible there may be an effort made in the Senate to galvanize the bill with modifications at that time, but we are persuaded that no such bill as the present one can become a law, notwith- standing its reintroduction in the House yes- terday, which was evidently done with the intention of dragooning the Senate. The peo- ple, who will have an opportunity to speak in the fall elections, are opposed to it, and look- ing at the President's well-known viows on the subject, we feel assured he would veto it. We say, then, it is dead and buried. There is no necessity to discuss it any further, and it will bea fruitless effort on the part of the House to attempt to force it through. But it is a singular fact that the bill came to its death so suddenly and in such on unex- pected manner, Did not the members of the Honse know what ‘he Views of the Senate probably were during all their arduous labors? Was there no fecling round to find out the facts up to the time when that decisive majority was given in its favor? It secms to us that the Senate has taken # sudden turn, and that up toa vor¥ recent date that body was not eo strongly opposed to the bill as they appeared to be on Thursday. We are led to inquire what has come over “the spirit of theirdream’?”’ What was aid about the tariff in that stormy radi- cal caucus? Perhaps the fall elections had a good deal to do with the Senate’s unceremo- nious slaughter of the bill. Perhaps the radi- calg droaded the consequences of such invidi- ons and oppressive legislation. Or it may be: they forcsaw the veto and a message from the White House on their imbecile and cor rupt legislation that-would have fplien like a thanderBolt on the party. Anm-honest vetdict on the death of the bill would be that it died of: party apprehension.- Just -now there are several political movements and signs of the times which are calculated to inspire fear in the Jacobins who have ruled with a rathless band. The country is becoming aroused to the fearful state of things to which this faction has reduced it, and « profound underswoll is moving toward a reaction. The people are tired of being kept in an nnrestored and rev- the police under the law D*sed by the last Legislature, it was, we think weY Properly, exggested that the money should be paid out of the funds created by the sale of liquor deak ers’ licert¥es, and not added to the tax levy. There is a scotion in the Excise law which pro- vides that all licenses and penalties accruing under the law shall be appropriated, after pay- ing other expenses, to lessen the burden which the Police Department imposes upon the public. It seems perfectly consistent that the money thus acquired by the Excise Board, which already amounts to over a million of dollars, should be appropriated to the expenses of the Police, who are the active agents in carrying out the provisions of the Excise law. There are many other sources, also, from which ma- terial might be drawn to lighten the taxation of the people ; but this suggestion of the Super- visors in the case of the Police Department is quite proper and legitimate. CITY INTELLIGENCE. “Tam Hear or Yastexvay.—As it happened during (he Previeus week, so yesterday--Friday—the clerk of the weather treated our citizens to a very “ hot spell.” The comparison botween the two Fridays Is as follows:— - July 6, 1966 SAE OM. 87M Suly 13, 1806. aoe | ot 93 w From this it will be seen that the change was more sudden and violent yesterday than on the Friday preced- ing. The above figures, however, denote the heat in one of the coolest parts of the clty. In the afternoon, sbortly after three o'clock, the thermometer on the west side of lower Broadway indicated about ninety-seven degress— in one locality ninety-cight degrees; while up town, on the same side o® the city, in a cool, shady gateway, the mercury rose to somewhat over 99 at @ quartor before three o'clock #’, M.

This we regard as the ren! cause why the Senate killed the Tariff bill. Thus we see the evil designs of men sometimes result in good. Vervicr or Mansiavanter Agatyst a Ratt- noap Compiny.—A coroner’s jary in Jersey City has rendered a verdict of manslaughter against the New Jersey Railroad and Trai rtation Comphny on account of a mad having been killed by being siruck by a locomotive. The coroner reports that other fatalities of a similar character have lately occurred at the same place, and the company has been repeatedly censured by other coroners’ juries for its crim- inal negligence in not having proper watchmen stationed at this railroad Slaughter House Point. This verdict is a just and timely one, and the jury deserve praise for their prompt and decisive acilon. The numerous wholesale buicheries that have happened on our railroads within a year past have very naturally and very justly aroused public indignation against the managers of the roads, who regard the declar- ing of unwarranted dividends more seriously than they do the lives and comfort of passen- gers, Coroners’ juries are too apt to whitewash ail cases of mismanagement brought against these companies, who are generally let off with & few words of censure. The example of this New Jersey jury can therefore be followed with much benefit to the travelling community all over the country, and where a verdict of manslaughter is rendered we hope courts will be found that will not hesitate to inflict proper punishment upon the offenders. Tas Exrenses or tas Paw Fine Derart upyt.—An appropriation of seven hundred thousand dollars was recommended by the Committee on Annual Taxes of the Board of Supervisors on Thursday for the expenses of the Fire Department. We are sorry that there was not appended to this appropriation a re- in the oity than in any Supervisors, and before the appropriation for seven hundred thousand dollars is made, we trust that they will endeavor to discover where the loose screw is. There is mismanagement somewhere, whether in the heads or the subor- dinates of the Fire Department, or in the gene- ral organization of the new system we do not know; but we have lamentable evidence that & thorough reform is needed.
