The topic of discussion by the press and people in the eapital and ip the provinces is the Imperial decree con- voking the extraordinary dict. All classes seem to revive from their previous apathy to energetically declaim tricuiog demagogue who chooses to make capital ont of her weaknesses, If the large sum of money which bas been spent within the past fow months in preparing to meet the Fenian insurrection, in providing arms and ammunition, feoing spies, secret service rewards and ch like, was geuerously expended improving the country, in public works, assistance to straggling manu- factures, the people would be enabled to live content- edly tp the homes they cling to, and James Stephens would not have found a welcome, Ireiand is necessary to England.

Two gen- timp claimed that honor—Captatn Tafbot, to the in- terest of the conservative or government party, and Mr. De La Poer, for the liberal or national party. Cap. tain Talbot had the landlord iniuence to assist him, his opronent the popular wishes and clerical influence. On the day of election a party of voters numbering one hundred and fifty tenants from the surrounding estaves (it 18 asserted acting under ure of their jandiords end tho bailifs), were marshalied into Dungarvan, escorted by a troop of carbiniers, a troop of Jancers and a largo body of constabuiary.

No single class, no sect, no nationality that has yet lary were routed and the voters dispersed or left to thelr own discretion, The sceno more resembied the meeting of two armies than a mere election riot, Kour death have been the result, and although Mr. De La Poer wa successi ul the honor has been dearly won.

The vory same opinion was unantmously expressed at a meeting of the membersof | Dublin ani Liverpool. the House of Deputies for lower Austria; and the Ger- man members of the Bohemian Diet have declared that they will abstain from the elections called forth by vir- tue of the decree, should the existing olectoral law be arbitrarily enforced by the inajority, in the manner 1 desoribed in a former letter—that is, by an amalgamation of the Sclavic, clerical and foudal parties.

In the meantime much activity is displayed by the German deputies of all the provinces in keeping up 4 g00d undorstanding with one another and betweca their constituents, The movement ‘rill have an immouse im- portance in a way that was liitie calculated by the Em- the Senators of Westminster.

The steamer Rayo (Lightning) has already been pur- chased by his Excoilency, General Salgar, the Colombian Minister, for his government, and having been fitted throughout as a war vessel, is now receiving her battery . on board at the foot of Fifth street, East river. Her armament is to consist of six nine-inch Dahlgren guns on her gun deck and two sixty-pounder rifled Par- Trott guna on her upper deck. She was sold by auction at the close of the war to Mr. R. Sturges, of this city, and put on the New York and New Orleans trade. After the salo she was altered to a full brig rigged steamer, besides undergoing a thorough renovation, which gavo her all the appearance of a fine seagoing Vvousel.

It is under- stood that Genoral Butler, who is now bere, favors the measure. Congress has the power, under the constitu- tion, to declare, in case of the removal, death, resigna- tion or inability both of the President aud Vice President, what officer shall act as President until the disability be removed, or a President be elected. The question may be raised whether the framers of the constitution did not intend to refer exclusively to civil officers, under which interpretation General Grant may be debarred from assuming the Presidential chair, even temporarily, but this question will probably not have much weight with either the present or the incoming Congress, The Question of Impeachment seems to be the most absorbing topic now discussed in the federal capital, Other matters pending before Con- gress, such a8 reconstruction of the late insurgent States, the terms of their admission to representation in Congress, the tariff and bankrupt bills, and the proposed revision of the laws governing commerce, all excite a certain amount of Interest, and are speculated upon by the law makers and other prominent men of the country, who are called hither by business interests, but whero- ever a group is found in conversation the probability of impeachment is. touched upon, amd the earnest- mess and vehemence of the spenkers and the attentiveness of the listeners indicate the pro- found interest felt in the question. Men who are deeply versed iu the affairs of: government and the intricacies of politics, shake their heads dubiously when asked to give an opinion upon the complications which surround the several branches of the government, Few believe that either Congress, the Supreme Court or the President have any clear conception of what will be the result of the misunderstanding existing between them, The opinion is that some one must give way to the others, or difficulties of the most serious nature will inevitably follow. The President is still Orm in his con- struction of the constitution, and exhibits no shadow of turming, believing, as he does, that the constitution requires him to proteet the minority from the partiak legislation of the majority, and Congress, supported by the voice of the people in the loyal States, is equally unyielding in its understanding of the necossities of the country and of the remedies to be applied to existing evils. Now is the time for public meetings to be held throughout the country and the voice of the people heard upon these momentous topics, and first of all the voice of the city of New York. ‘The Reports of the Select C House. The select committees of the House are closing their testimony and preparing their reports, The charges against Commissionor Bogy, of the Indian Bureau, will not likely be sustained. The investigation was very thorough. This committee will probably report to- morrow. The committee on the mvestigation of the relations to the United States Quartermaster’s Department of the Southern railroads, which were formerly cooupied by the military forces, destroyed in turn by both belligerents and repaired and resiocked by the United States, have not thus far developed any frauds upon the government, but have shown that the Quartermaster’s Department has clearly and faithfully maiutained the interests of the country. Sree ee IN ‘The Judiciary Committee have as yet done little or nothing upon impeachment, but will ultimately exhaust their powers upon that subject before ‘they abandon it. ‘They have recently been taking evidence relative to the pracitcal wofkings of the Civil Rights bill, particularly in the border States. The apprenticing system of the laws of Maryland, under which flagrant abuses of the Diacks have been developed, ate being examined into, and under which many of them are in né freer condition ) than formerly. The testimony shows that the courts in some sections seem to ‘be derelict in the observance of the Civil Rights bil. The investigation of the burning of the new Iron- sides, in February last, at League Island, Phila- detphia, by the Naval Committee of the House, has resulted in nothing new over and above what was de- veloped bythe commiesioners appointed by the Navy Department. The committee was appointed upon the resolution of the member from Connecticut, a party mm the'Fival intérdSt at New London tor the location of the Navy Yard there, The labor of the committee was mainly directed to damaging the prospects of both the New London and the Philadelphia interosts, and they succeeded, As to the cause of the burning of the noble ship it is not doubted but it was the work of an incen- diary. The view of the Navy Department « that it was by some of the disappointed dis- charged employés. There is another hypothesis that it was an enemy of the government, and another still sought to be established, that some one tn the interest of New London was guilty of the crime.

The Americans, to avoid paying the duties on our produce, draw more heavily on. the Western States to sapply the wants formerly supplied by Canada, and this demaud was taken advantage of by the Western dealers and the prices greatly incresed.
