The trial of the Adams Bxpress robbers was continued at Danbury on Monday. The evidence for tho proaecu- tion was closed, and the defence opened. Several wit- nesses wers examined for the defence, but nothing new was clicited. The Next Presidency and the Southern Stutes, Will the ten Southern Siates excluded from the present Congress, viz :—Virginia, North and Soyth Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala- bama, Mississippi, Loulsiana, Arkansas and Texas, be allowed to vole in the next Presi- dential election? This is a question of some importance to those States and to the country at large; but we think that it may be even now decisively answered. We have no doubt whatever that the admission of said States into the Presidential election of 1868 will depend upon their admission beforehand into Congresa, and that this admission will depend upon the ratification of the pending constitutional amend- ment by each State directly concorned or by the constitutional three-fourths of all the States required to make the amendment part of the supremo law of the land. The whole number of the States of the Union is now thirty-six. Within another year or 80 Colorado and Nebraska may be admitted, which will make the whole number thirty-eight. But take itvat thirty-six, the three-fourths re- quired to.consummale a constitutional amend- ment will be twenty-seven, the number upon which the Secretary of Siate officially pro- claimed the amendment abolishing and pro- hibiting slavery part and percel of the federal constitution. In addition, therefore, to the twenty Northern States, so called, we. shall need seven of the Southern or late slave States to make this new amendment part of the con- stitution. Ifwe can get those seven theother nine may be admitted without a rati- fication on their part, for the amend- ment, as part of the supreme law, will be equally binding upon all the States. But in the meantime, according to the precedent of Tennessee, any excluded State, upon its ratification of said amendment, will be restored to its full membership in the government with its restoration to Congress, In other words, Virginia, for example, by rati- fying the amendment comes at once into the copartnership for the next Presidency and the Congress to be elected in the same campaign; but by holding off she must await as an “ out- sider” the full ratification by three-fourths of all the States, i This is the case plainly stated, and we think it will admit of no appeal. The amendment passed by the present or Thirty-ninth Congress will be sustained and adhered to by the Fortieth or the next Congress. This is as certain as anything in the future of human. affairs can be. The next Congress will exercise its authority over the question of the admission of the out- lying States, and according to ite action they will be admitted to participate in or be ox- cluded from the Presidential election. The constitutional power over thie business is vested in Congress, and as the complexion and decision, of Congress may now be considered 4a bettled to the end of President Johnson’s term of office, the simple alternative presented to the ex- cluded States is whether they will accept the terms of restoration now offered by Congress and the North or await outside in the cold the issue of the next Presidential election. In this practical view of the matter one woul think that every consideration of sound policy and common sense would operate with the South in favor of the pending amendment. But the case is in the hands of the excluded States each for itself to make its choice. Taking it for granted that the whole twenty of the Northern States will ratify the amendment, New Jersey having already done £0, the question recurs what seven of the late slave States shall we count for the rati- fication? Tennessee Is one, already secured; Missouri may be counted as another, and West Virginia another. Delaware and Maryland ought to come next; but which are to be the other two! Kentucky may be one, and South Carolina, the instigator of and leader in the rebellion, or Virginia, its main reliance, will suit exactly to make up the requisiie three- fourths. If they can make this sacrifice of their old notions concerning “niggers,” State rights and chivalry, the rest of their con- federates may be excnsed. What a glorious opportunity for genuine chivalry is here presented! Why not seize it? Sooner or later than the next Presidential election every outlying Stale will bave to come to itand recognize the terms of this amend- ment as the law of the land. Old things are done away with and all things in our potitical affairs are becoming The old sectional party gp, slaveholding oligarchy of the South, which & ed the government from the time of Jefferson to the breakupat Charleston, are de- molished, dead and buried. The New England faction of radicals aspires to take ite place; but the great Northern Central States, from New York to Minois, have the reins in their bands, and this constitutional amendment is their work.

The tickets stand thas:— . Demveratic, Jobn H. Hackett. Gideon J, Tucker. John McCool. P The names of Hackett, Tucker and Halpine Jamos M, Smith, Charles G, Hi receive the support of the conservative repub- licans and all the democratic eloments which have by common consent combined against the coalition of Tammany and Mozart—the “ring” and the bargain makers. Thero is an inde- pendent element, which refuses to be led by the rump of Tammany or the tricksters of the Mozart faction, that will sustain the gentle- men above‘hamed on principle, because they are the best qualified candidates in nomina- tion. Mr. Hackett and Mr. Tucker have been tried in their respective offices of Recorder and Surrogate, and have given abundant evidénce of their capacity for these positions. As able lawyers and conscientious public officers they proved themselves entirely satisfactory and entitled to a re-election. Mr. Sedgwick, the republican candidate for Recorder, is a very nice and very promising young man. He made @ pretty respectable Assistant District Attor- ney. But the public do not know much about him. Some ten or fifteon years hence he may probably make a promising candidate for Re- corder, that we know of him is not much to his advan- tage, and in comparison with his rival candl- date for Surrogaic, Gideon J.

A consistent conservative and in every respect a capable man for the office, there can be no hesita ion between supporting him and the rival candidate, Wood’s man McCool, who has already had enough of the spoils and ought to retire gracefully.

Yesterday, in the busy hours of the morning and afternoon, the confusion was beyond de- scription, and all travel was interrupted, to say nothing of the imminent danger to life and limb attendant upon such a condition of affairs, But there seems to be no remedy for the evil.

These are jobs to which Mr. Thurlow Weed and his friends are parties, and we cannot discover that they have authority in any of the laws they have lob- bied through the Legislature to cross Broadway at Fulton and Ann streets. It scems as though The secret of the inaction of the they had taken advantage of the election to defy the city and to construct thelr track. The disgraceful scene enacted on the Sabbath, which came neer producing a riot, proves how secure the railroad jobbers feel in the protec- tion and co-operation of the Mayor of the city. and the Street Commissioner’s Department.

Let u« know upon whom the responsibility for this ontrage and its continuance rests Tar Tammany Ratieication Mertine,—An event unprecedented in the history of political parties in this city occurred on Tuesday even- ing, when the Tammany democracy deserted their old-time headquarters at Tammany Hall to-hold a meeting at Peter Cooper's Institute. It is eviden’ from this tact that the foundations of Tammany are sinking. The base of that branch of the democracy, grown rotten by the corruptions of the “ring,” has become shaky. The speeches, too, at the Cooper Institute meeting were weak dilutions of the oratory which once resounded in Tammany Hall. Stupid platitudes prevailed In the addresses of all the speakers. There waa neither pith nor marrow in them. Effete ideas were raked up and dwelt upon as if we were not living a new political life. The object of the meeting was of course to give strength to the democratic’ State ticket; but the speakers assumed that the State election was based upon the great national issues of the day, with which it hag really little or a0 connection. In the election of ® governor and county officers we look for & reform in our State and municipal affairs, and if we can secure that the people will be satisfied.

Urriive or Tue Fentans—Warnino T0 THE Barras Avruontries.—The trial and condem- nation of the Fenian prisoners in Canada is creating a great excitement in every. part ot this country. Disturbances have commenced even in the colonies, as we see by the news from Brantford. But this is a very small affair compared with what will take place on the border if the British authorides should be so foolish as to execute the condemned Fenians. The uprising in this country has commenced, and it will swell to such vast proportions that neither the British nor our own government will be able to keep it down. From every quarter we see the Fenians are proparing for action on a much larger soale than ever. There are plenty of Americans, too, who are ready to join them in the event of the Canadian govern- ment carrying out the extreme measures threatenod. Our own government will not be able to prevent an overwhelming invasion of the colonies, on account of the difficulties be- tween the President and Congress, and because we have enough to attend to at home; and should any difficulty arise between England and ourselves in consequenos, it would be far more serious to that Power than to us. We give both the colonial authorities and the home government warning that they are on the verge of overwhelming trouble if they do not act mercifally and prudently with the Fenian prisoners. They had better drop the whole of the trials and set those already condemned at liberty. This is our advice. pod tc REE PNET SA. Hoppus ww tHe Mannartan Crus.—A great hubbub has been created in the Manhattan Club by the proposal of the name of Mr. Thurlow Weed as a member. The elections sre managed by a committeo who are’ sald to be favorable to the admission of the Veteran of the Lobby; but the members of the club do not want him among them, and make a great commotion over the matter. We think we can settle this tempest in a teapot without much djficulty. When the late John Van Buren first organized the club he called upon us and urged us to become a member, stating that there was a vacancy reserved for us. We declined the polite offer, not being desirous of becoming a member of any political club, Now, we are willing to assign the place reserved for us in the Manhattan Club to Mr. Thurlow Weed in the same way that he assigns his railroad jobs in the city to other’ parties—but, in our case, without a considera- tion. He must, however, agree to get clear of all his present jobs, keep clear of jobs in the future, and to conduct himself generally in a reputable manner. This proposition ought to settle matiors amicably all round. Snel © Se toe. Renee Stranox Freaks oy Forrunx.—We under- stand that Manager Wheatley is making from two to three thousand dollars a night by his curious and immoral exhibition of fifty semi- nude women at the theatre on Broadway for- merly owned by Mr. Niblo. At this rate Wheatley may retire in a few months with a fortune of half million. It is strange that he should be rewarded so magnificently for dis- playing the charms of fifty handsome women to the prurient public, while for doing the same thing with ten handsoms women the proprietor of a model artist establishment was dragged off by the police. We presume, how- ever, that the manager who thus signally failed did not have women enongh or did not show enough of them, and that Wheatley has just bit the correct mark. We commend this idea to the other members of the managerial association. They are being ruined while Wheatley is enriched; they have empty theatres while bis is overcrowded; they are his victims and their losses are his gains. This is a splendid specimen of the results of associated Management. One theatre is turned into a Pompeian show and all the others belonging to the association are completely deserted. Tae Coury ano Caarrer Exections.—The vote on the county ticket, which is to be cast on Tuesday next, is only the pioneer move- ment, the skirmish of the advanced guard of the great charter battle which will be fought in December. The direct issue between the Cor- poration “ring” and the friends of an honest municipal government ts made onthe nominees for the offi¢e of Register. John McCool repre- sents the bargain between Fernando Wood and the “ring.” General Halpine is the standard bearer of all the opponents of the band of Forty Thieves. He is the Ali Baba who ia dea- tined to destroy the robbers’ den and to botile them up and finally dispose of them. The other candidates on the eounty ticket are of no account, 80 far as this issue is concerned. But the bargain of the “ring” must stand or fall with the clection or defeat, of Fernando's man, McCoo}, who represents Hot! (+ political and pecuniary interests of his principal. All who desire to break up the power of the “ring” should call « mass convention and agree to support General Halpine—the gallant “Private Miles O'Reilly”—who bas fought in the ranks and won his stars by the force of his own nicrit alone. If McCool is defeated in November, Comptroller Brennan and the “ring” will be defeated in December. Every person who has become disgusted with the narrow, selfish, dishonest policy of the elique who now control the eity government should snpport General Halpine and upset the corrupt bargain between Fernando and the “ring.” Jou Monnissey ayp rae Mangartan Cum— If there is any political advantage to be gained by edmitsion to the Manhattan Clab, Mr. Johp Morrissey is certainly better entitled thap Mr. Thurlow Weed to be made © membér.
