Before the work of the Convention has fairly commenced ‘one -of its members is shot dead at his hotel, in the public reading room, by a soldier who has won distinction in the war, for the alleged offence of violating the purity of the wife of the Intter while he was absent fighting the battles of his count:y. How much trath there may be in the statement of the survivor we do not know ; but the fact of the assassination is sufficient to establish bis entire belief in his story; for otherwise there could be no possible cause for his act of vengeance. The point for the Convention to consider—and which is brought fearfully home to them by this event—is the insecurity of human life in the present condition of the laws. What is the reason of this, and where the remedy? Is it to be traced to the prevailing conviction in the public mind that the laws are little better than dead letiers in certain cases, and that under our present system it is next to impossible to bring men of position and influ- ence to punisiment? Do men sot themselves up as the jadges of their own wrongs and the facility with which one class of offenders escapes the pevalties of the law? And if so, where are we to look for the foundation of the evil? In wiiat manner are we to eradi- cate it? These are the questions which tho fate of one of their prominent associates should force upon the serious consideration of the Convention. high and low, depend for their positions upon the good will or caprices of politicians and from the by ile teachings, that Querétaro had not fatisn, aud that tho story was ongiua’ed for (be purpose of inflaoncing the commander ‘They further state that the Americaa Consul waited upon the commander and urged his surrender, but fually desisted, becomming con- vinced on the receipt of no further particulars that the It is belioved in Washington that the Indians intend offering no desperate resistance beyond harassing guerilla movements to the troops now in the Geld against them, and acting upon the consequent sugges- tons of Genorals Grant and Sherman, the Secretary of War has a force of cavalry in process of organization to of which it is confidontly believed he will bring the war to Despatches from Omaha in addition to the usual ac- counts of cattlo stealing, mall ropbing and other depro- Look, for example, at their policy in keeping partisan purposes, when the country needs pease, restoration and harmony, in order to stimulate the productions of the South, to relieve us of the immense expense of a large military establishment and the Freedmen’s Bureau, and to enable us to meet the enormous demands of the Treasury Department.

But instead of that the most lavish and reck- less expenditures have been made, and’ indus- try has been burdened and paralyzed to the utmost limit of forbearancd. Look at tho etu- pidity of Congress in giving to the national banks a monsirous and. dangerous institution, the profits of a national circulation worth over twenty millions a year; currency of three hundred millions, the profiis of which rightly become their own cvencers, simply because of Let them inquire bow far the system of making the jadges of all our courts, civil and criminal, Congress and the Oxrreacy. Greeley, in his controversy grith the Union League Ciub, called the members narrow- minded blockhends, Our contemporary used a very appropriate term to designate theseetupid little politicians, They are # conccitedwet of fellows without brains, who think they are 8 mighty power and should control the affairs of the countey as woll as the opinions and personal conduct of men. But they are not the only narrow-minded blockheads, by a long way. The term may be applied to Greeley himself for his vagaries about specie payments, the currency, a high tariff, socialistic theories and misplaced philanthropy. Looking at the man- agement of our public affairs, tbis expression, unfortunately, is applicable to most of those in official positions, diye How fitly thie term—narrow-minded block- heade—may be applied, for example, to the Judiciary Committee of Congress! This Com- mittee was appointed ostensibly to investigate serious charges against the President and grave matters affecting the administration of the gov- ernment. The people were led to believe that there was evidence enough before Congress and in the hands of those who proposed the Committee to justify investigation. The Com- mittee has virtually concluded its labors and voted upon a report, What is the result? What, after many months of searching inquiry and after the expen- diture of a large sum of money, has it discovered? A mare’s nest; nothing more. A majority of the members have agreed to censure tho President, finding no ground for impeachment. Of course they must do some- thing to endeavor to save themselves, Congreas and the republican party from ridicule; and they could do nothing less than make up a case for censure. And what was the nature of the investigations of this Committee of narrow- minded blockieads? Great questions of public policy? No; they were chiefly confined to matters of a private natare—of miserable gossip and hearsay twaddlo of’ Tom, Dick and Harry. These sapient commitiee-men were anxious to know what the President drank and how much he drank; whether he drank Bour- bon whiskey or wine; how much water he mixed with it; ifthe used sugar, and how many times a day he took his toddy. They wanted to know who went in. the front door and who in the back door of the White House, with a great deal more of such contemptible and importinent stuff. Such hag been the work in which they were engaged for months, and such is the result. But the greater part. by far of the members of Congress have shown themselves to be in other respects narrow-minded. blockheads? enormous debts in struggles for national ex- istenee, and afterwards repudiated them Where is the debt of Fransa, created before and during the great Revolution? The sponge was used there mercilessly, England, even, virtually repudiated her debt in part by reduc- ing the interest Other striking examples could be adduced to chow tile damgor of ropu- diation when people are goaded by misgov~ law-making power is in the handb of the whole people—the taxpayers, who woald: have little sympathy with the bomdholders or capitalists, should they find fiemselves deceived or op- pressed. We say, tion, to Congress, to the administration, and to all intorested im the payment of the debé,.beware what you do, or you will hear that tevrtble word, repudiation, uttered sooner and louder than you may betiove. ‘The United States and the Other Reprifiice of Ameriva, Mr. Seward, we belicve,.in one of those grandiloquent eimiles in which he deligit# to indulge, spoke of the other republics and States -of Amer‘ea os the buttresses of this great repub- lic. We never could see thut'they were mach of buttresses to this country,end our late ex- perience shows that they are anything else than that. The truth is, all these petty States, from Mexieo to Cape Horn, and from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, are inirical to us, and: hardly ever lose an opportunity of showing their bad feeling. After backing:the ropublic’ of Mexico-against one of the greatest Powers. of the world, and forcing that Power to with- draw, when the republican government was driven: to: fow miles of territory ima remote corner on our berder—after having saved that republic from aanihilation, in faot, it politely tells.us to. mind our own busincsa, when we offer a little friendly advice. Our: offers of mediation betweem the republicsof Chile and Peru and Spain, in order to stop thé effusion of blood, and in the interests of commosee, were scouted. It was the same on the Atlantic side of South America, when we kindly tendered our services to seltis the difficulties Betwoen Paraguay and Brasihand hor allies. The gov- ernment of New Grenada shows itself hostile to American: interesis om the Isthmus of Panama. And now wo see that Peru bas mani- fested unfriendly conduct again by reaypoint- ing the rebel Tucker Admiral of its: fleet. Looking :at the: hostility of this man to the country theti geve him birth and his profession, and.to his. conduct toward Ad- ‘miral Dahlgren and our flag, we regard his re- appointment as.an insult, especially as it was ‘made about the-time our offor of mediation was rejected. We might ennmesate other cases in which one or other of the: South and Central American States. have: snubbed our govern- ment or exhibited unfriendly feeling to our country; but these cases.are some of the most recent, and prove sirongty-enough the necossity of pursuing a:very diffvrent policy toward Mr. Seward’s “buttresses,” Unfortunately. we have hed lately no one in the State. Department who. eomprehended: the position; dignity or interests of this great ropnb- lic. We have had no comprehensive American policy. Mr.. Seward has positively degraded the United States—as far as he was able to do so—by a timid, time-serving course. Evemour naval. commanders, gallant and patriotic. as they are, have been afraidto take a bold stand in defending the honor and maintaining the prestige of their countzy, so feebly and in. such o humiliating manner have our foreign affairs been managed. The petty States of this hemi- sphere-have seen this.and presumed upen it. They have acted as: monkeys or other small, presumptuous animals might act before the noble lion when he is. bound or caged by his keeper. This republic has been bound im such manner-by the miserable policy of the State Department, and the little republics have chat. tered.at and mocked us. It is high time that all this should be changed. We must have a bold amd comprehensive American policy. We must make the other governments and people. of this hemisphere respect us. To do this we want another and a different stamp of man in the Stata Department—not a man of words and platitudes merely, but one imbued with American pride and patriotism, who. will cause our power to be felt and our influence para- mount. In the meantime it would be well to, the: wounds of the war open so long for mere be saved from an addition to the debt, or if either the interest or principal of the present stupendous debt is to be paid. The utmost freedom should have been given to industry and trade, and pro- belong to the government and the people, and which should be saved: and applied to the ex- tinguishment of the debt. Look, too, at the insane attempts to contract the currency, and thereby to reduce the means and increase the burdens at a time when money should be abundant, in order to increase production and to bear the weight of debi and taxation. Never were there such blockheads composing a great legislative body. Never was a country 60 much in need of statesmen. What shail we say of the Secretary of the Treasury? Mr. McCulloch, through his recom- mendations to Congress and through his imbe- cile management of his department, has been greatly instrumental in bringing us to a condi- tion verging upon bankruptcy. We say verg- ing upon bankenptey, because the Treasury is being emptied faster than it is supplied. The expenditures are greater than the income, and the national debi, instead of being reduced, heveatter is likely to be inoreas;d. He, of courze, is 2 national bank man; for he cannot sce beyond benk interests, Bunking was his vocation, gpa though he may be capable of managing a small country bank, he has no con- ception of national finances. He recommended acontraction of the currency, and proceeded to coniract it as far as Congress stupidly gave the power, until he found danger staring him in the face, Instead of letting the volume of cur- rency remain as it was, particularly as the coun- try was prospering and the debt being paid, until a large portion of the whole of the debt could be liquidated in the same depreciated money in which it was taken, he wanted to force specie payments,and thus compel the people to pay, with less means, thirty to forty per cent. more than they ever received or ought to pay. The term “narrow-minded blockhead,” which Grecley used to the Loyal League Clab, may be very fitly applied to him. He should leave the Treasury Department to abler hands and go back to his small broker age business in the country, We want no other currency than that we have, except that greenbacks should bo substituted for the national bank circulation. We want the debt to be paid in this currency, and the country to grow up gradually and naturally to specie paymenis, The consequence will be that, if the country and the Treasury Department continue to be governed by narrow-minded blockheads, the people will soon get uneasy under the weight of debt and taxation. They will not be will- ing to pay for the misgovernment and extrava- gance of partisans and imbeciles. Wo sball soon hear the word repudiation uttered, much as bondholders dread it, This couniry is not withoutaramnles, (ireat nations have areated making the flag and their country respected. The people of Spanish America can be whipped into a proper regard for us if they are insen~ sible to our kindness and forbearance. The President's Itinerant Speeches, A wise reticence appears to mark President Jobnson’s career in the Soutt, which is. plea- santly at variance with the garrulity which characterized his great swing around the circle in the West. Since his entry into Nortb,Caro- lina he has spoken little, amd that little was not inappropriate to the occasion. In this he has taken oursadvice, and we hope he will continue to follow it, We might define his addresses as @ mixture of scatiment with a little spice of egotism, very harmless and very natural; but he has not offended the moral sense of any party, nor thrown down. the gaunt- let of detiance to Congress, or any one else, as in his unfortunate railruad platform speeches on his journey round the circle via Chicago. This is all the more commendabie, rot to say curious, as be bas Mr. Seward for a travelling companion on this, as on the former tour. Justice for the Sewing Women. We have more than once protested against the system of injustice by which the class of sewmg justly sent to the Penitentiary, was a woman, practising a crucl imposition on the friendless gitks who were the vietims of her cupidity. We hope that justice will overtake many others of like character, moving probably in a higher commercial splere and defrauding the poor to a greater extent than Mra, Meyers. There is no class in the community more worthy of pro- tection than the poor, industrious sewing women. ‘Their labor is harder and their remuneration loss in proportion than any other clase of our laboring population ; while they aro principally widows struggling to sup- fo sustain {infirm paronts or abildran erament or the weight of debt becomes insupportable.

From the time that Mr. Campbell lost his way on the road to the seat of the republican gov- erament of Mexico our affairs with that coun- try have been going on from bad to worse. The great questions which are now springing up betwwen the two countries have.as yet no represeafative on hand to grasp them at their inception and give them proper shape, and in consequeng°e, when we do succeed in getting a minister to'\Mexico, everything will be in an in- extricable fa ngle, which can only be untied as Alexander wntied the Gordian knot This expenditure 49 support Mr. Campbell is very unnatural; amd after a time foreign nations will ncouse wag having indirectly recognized the Souther wonfederacy by sending a resi- dent minister # New'Orleans. It is time Mr. Seward took tif matter in hand, and if he has at length withdrawn all the indirect infuence he has eon: using to support the inaperial cause of the Mexipan let himnow make amends: tr the republicanism of the now world by giving-alittls help to the literal party, who will dewbtless receive all of bis | overtures of recomelliation for what they are worth, well knewiag: ghat the old man is in bis dotage, and mally havanot, in his dealings with Mexico or any Spanish American country, re+ presented éhe good aemme of the United States.

Le! us have a new | appointment for the place; of some man who will not be a mere clerk‘of the State Depart- ment, but one who understands Mexico, its people, their requiremenie-as well as ours, the language, and something of: the intricate ques- tivne-which have, during tlie French interven- tien, sprung up ketweem American citi- zens. and the Mexican authorities; for these requite a far longer experience and greater diplomatic tact than Mr.-Campbell possesses to settle: them. We are, moreover,. well advised that Mr. Campbell would now be very dis- agreeable to the Mexican government, were he to proceed on his mission. His action on the Rio Grande while there led the-Mexican people to forma very poor oajnion’ of. him, while his correspondence with Pscobedo did-not tend to strengthen his position...

Under. any circumstances, however, let us have a minister: to Mexico, to represent our suffering interests there. If Mr. Campbell shows his good sense :he will resign. If he will not resigu -and yet cannot be removed, let him procoed immediately to his post, as the next shortest way to a new appoint- ment:for a position that. requires: our best talent. Gtty Railroads aad. the Corporate Au- therities. x Tt appears by the anuual report of the Police Commissioners that during the -past twelve months thero have been nearlyrtwenty-nine thousand complaints preferred against the city railroads, not one of which was prosccuted by the ‘Corporation Attovney. Under such cir- cumstances it is no wonder thatthe picking of pocketa and assaults on passengers should continue on the increase. We might as well ‘be without any police;if the arresta which they make are to be treated as of no: importance. To<what influences the fact is attributable we are-not informed by the report, and are left to infer them. As far as the responsibility of them is concerned, however, we know where it Hea It isthe Mayor’s business to see that his: subordinates attend properly to their duties, and if he were attentive to his he ‘world not have been ignorant af the existence of so extraordinary a state of things. The rannner in which justice is admitistered in this city would be incredible to. those who are unfamiliar with its operations, We give in mother column a statement from a correspond- ent which offers o striking exemplification of it, and which nwsy serve to account for the indifference manifested in regard to the prose- eution of the eraployés of wealthy companies, The case is that of four men, three of them well known offenders, who were taken up for a burglary, the evidences of which were found on their persons. An indictment was found against them by the Grand Jury; but they were allowed to plead guilty to an attempt to commita burglary in the third degree, and sentence was suspended. Three of these men have been. arrested a number of times on similar clarges, and now they are again set free to repeat their offences. Of course life and property can never be considered secure while such things are permitted. Sweden Honers Ericsson. The. Swedish Chambers have lately pre- sented to. Mr. John Ericsson a very complimen- tary address, in consideration. of the honor he has conferred upon his native land by the won- derful inventions which have made his name farmous. In presenting this testimonialto him Sweden also tacitly compliments the land which gave such a vast ficld for the aweep of Bricsson’s talents.

The Tax on Inmigration. Tt appears that the tax levied on immigra- tioa which arrives in this port from Europe is mach larger than that levied in our other prin eipal commercial cities. Two doilars and fifty cents per head is enormous, when we take into consideration that the immigrant is obliged to be at considerable expense in the city before he can proceed to the piace of his destination in the West. An effort should be mada on the part of the authorities, not to drive ‘the immi- grant away by extortion, but rath~r to remit this burden avon the pocket of those who from Eurage are pouring in with thoir strong end willing bands to enrich our common coun try. Every dollar levied in this way is a dob lar’s worth of epposition to our national ad- vancement. A broad policy would indicate that some arrangement should be made where by there may be no tax whatever levied upea what is the greatest blessing to us, coesersapeinernastaadtig ne BILL The Doings at Albauy—What Wil the Cone stitutional Coavention Dor The Convention now in session at A! does notin its opening proceedings give much promise of good works. Up to this time the whole businces has been bmity botched by the politicians. When a majority of one hundred thousand, out of a poll of over six hundred thousand votes, decided that the constitution of the State needed revision end amendment, the partisans immediately set themselves te contrive how they could best make capital for their particular organizations out of the busi ness, The republicans of the Legislature made a party question of it in the bill to pro- vide for the election of delegates. The demo cratic leaders made a party question of it, first by their quibbles regarding the consiitw tionality of the vote ordering the Convention, and next by rofasing in some instances to nominate delegates or to take any share im their election. ‘The republicans, under Greeley and Alvord, kept up the partisan action whem the Convention met by calling a caucus and seizing upop'all the offices, from President to page. The democrats, under the Brothers ‘Brooks and Confidence Cassidy, have followed on the same tack by holding caucuses and refu.‘ng to take any share: in tha organization of the Convention. Under these circumstanees-it is no wonder if'the people look with very: little hope for any proper re‘orm of the organic law at the hands ofthe body now assemoled at the State capital, Yet there are a sufficient number of able and responsible mon in th> Conveniion to frame a good. constitution, if they will make up theis minds to set to work and doit The altera- tionsneeded are fow, if made in tho right direo- tion. The extension of the suffrage to all cith zens of the Siate, irrespective of color; the ree * modetling of the judiciary so as. to take the Judgewout of the influence of politics, and rem d or them independent of parties ; the restora« taon tothe Governor of the proper executive power, so that he may be enabled.to secure, an d be held responsible to the people for, the honest and efficient government of the whole Sta te; good system of: selfgdvernment for all political divisions, cities, tewns.and coume ties, anéthe restriction of the Legislature as far as possible to the enactmont of general lawa. These are about all the points neces eary\to be touched upon, andé: withian honest desir» onth4 part of the delegates to: perform their duties the work could te finished in @ month or six wecks, and the heavy expense of the Convertion be savedito the-people of the State. 4 But in order to accomplish: this, if there should be: any real desire: on the part of @ sufficient number of the de legates to de so, the Convention must at once make up its mind to taboo Gresley. He has py oved himsolf an in tolerable bore anda stumi bling block in the way of the: work of the ( Jonvention: already. His mind runs upon. quibbl: »3 and is full of emall notions. His idea of refor nf is limited to rev stricting the number of po or little page boys employed by: the Legislata re, and cutting dowm the expenses of the red b ook. Outside these picayune retrenchments hi is one hobby is te “sell the canals.” He Ilias an :overweaning desire to “run the macl ino?” however, and cannot keep his.seat on ¢.ny occasioa. If any real, solid.work is to be ‘done. by the Conve tion, they must pay no attention whatever to the eccentricities of Gret ley any more than to the political.tricks of tht» last. of the copper- heads who have found tlicir way intoithe body, but must proceed steadily with their business, submit a god eonstitut! on to the people, to be * voted onmext November, cad.go home. The sooner they get out of Alwany the, betier. If they fail.to make such a reform in: the organie. law as the popular sentiment and the interests of the State demand, the peoplo will take the maiter into. their own bands ond. work oat their own reconstruction at the polis next fall. It wilt then be quite clear that nethirg is to be expected from the old pelitica’’ organizations, and will be the fitting time to.throw them alf overboard and establis. a prety of and from the people. Seporintondent Kenredy ard tho City Police. Two atlegations are very commonly made. against our police departmom\ :—First, that it is corrupt; second, that it f¢ ao mismanaged as to be, for many important pu-poses, worse than useless. We put little cretit in the very gon- eral charges of ccrsrupticm. that are so com monly made in reckless declarations against any one pr every one. ‘hese charges, pere haps, are like these it was.onge fashionable to mske against the Heratir~ aceusing it of black- ¢ mail, though no one waz ever ready to prove a fact of that character or- frighten us to silence by the possibility of exposure. If there were so muck corrajytion, there would be @ case brovght to. light here and there, Hf the police. was indiscriminately bought over by rogues, % would be so chained down by its many bargains and the fear of exposure that it could mot take the vigorous action it sametimes does. But as io the otber allegation, that the police is mismanaged, we subweribe to it in all the moods and tenses. It is conspicuously true, ‘The comnmnisation we published on Tuesday in reletion to the Monroe robbery is one more pigce-of evidence that our police is useless for one of (he great objects of itsorganiaation—the prodection of the property of our citizens, It is shewn that in that case a proper attention to business at police headquarters would have insured the recovery of a very considerable portion of tho money stolen. The youag thieves were fresh from the evime, the larger part of the plunder was, perhvsps, on. their persons, and the Montreal police sent worl of their where- abouts and expreseed its readiness to co-oper+ ate in their capture. No notice was taken of the “despatch, avd eoveral days later the thieves got out of the country. This notable piece of delinquency occurred, of course, at headquarters. All the delinquency is enthroned there. Except at heaiquarters we have a good police—good capiains, ser- geants and men; honest, intelligent and cours ageous. The only policeman who is not worth his pay is at the head of tho forces, Superins tondent Kennedy is not satisfied to be the first, voliceman of ‘this city and to dy his duty o@ ,
