CONGRESS, In the Senate yesterday, Mr, Howard withdrow his amendment to Mr. Trumbuil’s bill, in which he proposed ‘8 less stringent exclusion clause, Mr. Buckalew offered an amendment favoring the system of cumulative guf- frags in the election of fepresentatives from the Southern States, but it was declared not in order. Mr. Sumner made a spooch on recoustraction in which he said that colored Congressmen would soon be welcomed in the halls of Congress. After farther do- bate Mr Trumball’s bill was adopted as a substitute for the House bill, and passed by a vote of 31 yeas to 6 aya In the House the proposition of Mr. Boutwell for an adjournment until October was taken under consideration, and, afier being amended so as to substitute the 13th of Novembor as the day for reassembling, was accepted. Mr. Munger asked permission to introduce a resolution in- structing the special committee on the treatment of Union Prisoners to inquire also into the treatment of rebel Prisoners in Union prisons, but objection was made and the House took a recess. In tbe evening session, a mes- aago was received from the Senate announcing the pas- sage of the now Reconstruction bill as amended. Mr. Schenck and Mr. Bingham bad some words in the de- bate which ensued, which, on the part of the former, Were rather incoherent, and Mr. Stevens hoped no one would report that any membor was drunk. After a short but lively debate, the bill and amendment were Teferred to the Reconstruction Committee. MISCELLANEOUS. Our correspondence from 2anama # cand July 2. General Santos Acosta, who had forcibly tepored Mos- quera, had beea formally inangurated as President of Colombia, and a cabinet bad been formed. Congress had been convened and Mosquera’s decree about public order had been revoked, Mosquera’s gunboat, the Co- lombia, had withdrawn from the blockade of: Santa Martha, and in going to Cartbageona had cap- tared the schooner James Stetson, which was sailing undor British colors. She had arms on board, and the Colombia took hor in tow asa legal prize. The instructions of Mr, Seward to the Minister Resident of the United States, relative to the imposition of extraor- dinary taxes by the authorities of Panama on American citizens for the purpose of resisting and seceding from the federal goverament of Colombia, had been received.

Were we to enter into this mad Mexican scheme with the sole plea of avenging the death of @ royal fili- buster it would be the strangest one upon which a republic ever made war, and would do more to damage republican and liberal senti- ments all over the world than we could repair by a century of our most progressive labors, Mexico has won her great half century battle against the Church power. She has fought out her religious war as we fought out ours in Europe, and she has overthrown by the vigor of her nationality the European attempt to re- store the element of turmoil that lay at the root of every revolution that Mexico has yet seen. Were the Uni'ed States now to step in and take up the cudgel in favor of obsolete ideas, of a retrograde party, and of monarchi- cal Europe, it would be an act at which all the liberal eontiment of the age might look on and shudder. Tho Judiciary Comunittee on the Impeachment The Judiciary Committee of tho House of Representatives, it appears, have been very. much embarrassed as to what the testimony taken on the impeachment question requires they should do in the case of Androw Johnson. A majority of the seven republicans of the Committee are in favor of resolution of cen- sure, and a minority—three against four—Think that they have all the evidence feded for impeachment, and that the ge%used ouzht to be impeached without fuer dilly-dallying or waste of cme.

But the ma- dosity 2? 2. “Hous hava distino'ly decided against both im declaring for @ session in November.

On the opposite side of tho A'lantic wo find Austria, noe, England and Spain throwing all their uence into the government of tho United States to urge us on to Mexico, Mr. Sumner, Chairman of the Committes on Foreign Affairs, appears to be entirely in the hands of the tor- eign ministers, who evidently think that great diplomatic games are best played at good dinners. Beauregard and his circle in New Orleans, finding the national banks have no more feathers to pluck, are bent on taking possession of Northern Mexico, while another ring in the same city have interests that are seriously jeopardized upon the arrival of the liberal government in the city of Mexico— providing Mr. Otterbourg, so kindly detailed for the dirty work of saving his own and others’ interests in Mexioan jobs, does not pro- tect them by some process similar to that by which he became the agent of the empire in Washington last fall. Congress, it is quite certain, will take up this Mexican problem so soon as they have disposed of the reconstruction business. They, are little inclined to see Mr. Johnson make Mexico wis banner cry, and thereby turn atten- tion from the Reconstruction act. Therefore of all the meat topics Mexico scarcely stands second, and, from the gathering influences brought to bear upon the adminisiration, is daily taking larger proportions. We now sce the effects of Mr. Seward’s Mexican policy. Every act of his with reference to that country has been the prelude of one still more stupid. Instead of a manly, open course, such as be- comes a gveat nation, he has wavered in his imbecility until, entirely in the hands of concession jobbers, he lsts them foist upon Mexico an imperial Austrian Jew as Minister, who in no sense represents the United States, but rather a certain circle which desires to throw into Mexico as many elements of discord ascan be found. Then they may raise the ery, Lo! Mexico cannot govern herself. Know- ing that the present government will not dispose of territory under any ircum- stances, they now demand Ortega, who, thoroughly unprincipled, would for a small figure move into Yucatan and sell the balance of the Mex'can States; hence we may see this move strongly agitated from the line of the Rio Grande. It would, however, result in the shooting of Ortega, now a prisoner at Monte- rey. The great feature of this Mexican news is that almost the entire rebel element in the South, through the press and through their old army leaders, are urging an invasion of our neighbor’s territory as the great cure for all their political ills, Northern democrats also are pouring in their petitions to the adminis. tration to make Mexico the party cry, with the hope that the people will rally around it, as they did in the war of 1847. Their point gained, they hope that in the excitement of the contest they may ride into power, and then shape reconstruction as may best please them. This appears to be their latest and most bril- liant idea, and there are many powerful ac cessories to aid them. The policy of France is doubtless to have us take possession of Mexico and recognize the immense war debt that she rolled up there. They care less for Maximilian than they do for the payment of the imperial bonds of the empire which flood the French market, and which are worthloss so long as the Mexican republic exists intact’ The Cabinet are not fully agreed as yet on an aggressive policy. Mr. Stanton, a warm friend of the re- public and the liberal party, is the dlorious minority; and to carry out their plans the plot- ters must have a new War Secretary. General Grant, too, stands boldly in the way, and the greater part of Congress, also determined to give Mexico a chance to govern herself, will make a sturdy fight before they permit her overturning and the conquest of her territory. The proper course to pursue towards our sister republic is what we have always advo- cated: give her an opportunity to see if ebe can reduce her revolutionary elements to quiet. ¢ ls daied Zuly @ A tari for the | At presont we have quite enough on hand to ! ths Beagte, have served the purposes of Con- gress, The #pglicy” of Andrew Jobnson against the power of Congtess ia nd Tongae | drealed. He has practically Levis power- less for mischief, and his removal might result in a premature breaking up of the republican party. Mr. Pike put tue case clearly in saying that the President is politically dead, and it is now only a question whether the republican party shall move public sympathy in bis favor by mangling the corpse. Mr. Johnson has thus become what may be called a necessity, Opposition to his short- sighted and blundering policy of resistance to the constitutional authority of Congress has been tho great bond of cohesion to the repub- licans. His retention in office will still servo this important purpose, and so he will be retained, and “Old Ben Wade” will be disap- pointed. Let Mr. Jounson submit to the neces- sities of his situation, and take it quieily, and he may have a comfortable time of it hence- forward till the 4th of March, 1869, Bogus Despatches of the Associated Press. The London agent of the Associated Press must be a Fenian in disguise, a tool or—to give him the benefit of a doubt—a desperate joker, “regardless of expense,” or he would never have sent by the ocean cable such an absurd despatch as was received from bim about one o’clock yesterday morning. In that despatch he stated ‘that an important diplo- matic note from the Russian Cabinet had just been published, without indicating where, whether in the Paris Moniteur or in the London Times, But an Irish paper in this city, which, singularly enough, professes to have exclusively received the diplomatic note in question—a circular purporting to be signed by Gortscha- koffand addressed to Baron Brunow, Envoy Extraordinary to his “Imperial Mojesty the Emperor of all the Russias, at the Court of St. James”—yesterday favored all the city jour- nals with a printed slip of the entire circular within a few hours of the reception of the synopsis of it forwarded by the London agent of the Associated Press, stating that it was taken from an influential English publication, Zchoes from the Club, and that “it might be a genuine despatch or tho production of a clever satirist.” The pro- tended circular invited a joint inquiry into the condition of Ireland on the part of the govern- ments of Russia, France and the United States, and in conjunction with the government ot Great Britain. - So transparent a hoax needs no claborate exposure. But we should neglect our duty to the public should we fail to call attention to it asa fresh and flagrant instance of the lack of common sense and discretion which has been so often betrayed by the Associated Press, and which has deservedly brought their despatches into discredit as unreliable and, we should add—if serious social, fiaancial and political interests were not frequently endangered by them—extremely ridiculous. They have re- vived and made applicable to the Atlantic cable Dr, Jobnson’s description of an angler’s rod, as having @ bait at 6ne end and a fool at the other. Fortunately, none but gudgeons of the most gullible sort can bite at such a bait as that thrown out by the London agent of the Associated Press. The public will soon be constrained to agree with us that it is high time either to hold the Associated Press to a strict accountability for incompetency and recklessness, if not for still more grievous offences, or to severely let it alone and seek more trustworthy mediums for the dissemina- tion of news. The State Convention=Whea Will it Begin Business. Day after day goes by in the State Constitu- tional Convention utterly was'ed on contemp- tible topics. Members seem to suppose, from Greeley down, or up, that the Convention has} only come together that they might have a conspicuous place from which to pour forth illimitable twaddle. Talk rules the hour, and the speakers are so charmed with their own sweet voices that they bid fair to keep up through the whole summer that vapid inter- change of poor commonplaces which is by courtesy called debate. Debateon what? Ort almost every subject under the sun except the two or three the Convention ought to take up. The real labor of reconstructing our Siate and municipal governments is still practically un- touched, the Convention satisfying itself with feeble skirmishes all around this great subject and with wasting weeks on matters it should leave to the Legislature, When does the Con- vention mean to begin the real business for which it was brought together? fev. Re oa Dodge Wilson and peal. THE NATIONAL GAME AT ROCHESTER. The Unton Prisoners by tho Rebels. ’ Mr. Shanks’ resolution authorizing the ‘ap- pointment of @ committee to inquire into the treatment of Union prisoners by the rebels is @ very proper one, and we are glad that it has been adopted by the House. Thero are many who think that the execution of Wirz, a mere subordinate instrument in the hands of the rebel authorities, was a very mean proceeding on the part of our government, It is probable that if his trial had been preceded by an inves- tigation such as is now proposed he would have escaped with a commutation of bis sen- tence. There is but little doubt from the evi- dence which was brought forward on the trial that many of the acts of harshness and cruelty charged against him were committed under orders from bis superiors, Now, if it was right to visit him with death for carrying out these orders, it is surely just that the respon:i- bility of issuing them shoald be fixed where it belongs and an effort made to bring the:r authors to puniehment. But, taking the other view of the case, and admitting that there is gomething in the ex- cnses made for the rebel atithorities on the score, of the insufficiency of mon and means at thelr command, we deem it important that the facts should receive a full, though tardy, in- vestigation, It would do much to allay the bitterness of feeling which prevails against the. South among the relatives and frien !a of the victims of ‘thos> alleged cruelties, if it could be shown that they were the result, not of vindictiveness, but of necessity—that is so far as nocessity can be pleaded in exsenuation of such things. We would b> glad for the sake of the country gén-rally to see tho Soath re- lieved from the stvin which they have left upon it. Itean be no satisfaction for Ameri- cans that history chould be allowéd to reord, unqualified, occurrences which make wp 60 dark and disorelitable » chapter. Tho ap- pointmont of the committee authorized by Mr. Shonks’ resolution will, we believe, be hailed with very general gafisfapgion, and if i's labors are conducted in thé proper spirit they may be-productive of much good. Treatment of Tho Landing of Gesetal Prim in Catalonia, In yestorday’s Hmmatp we printed a tele- gram from London, announcing the landing of Genera? Prim in Oa‘alonia, Spain. General Prim has become notorious a3 one of the lead- ing revolutionary spirits of Europe, who, when at home, are to be found generally in Brassels, General Prim, however, is somtimes to be seen also in the public places in Paris. There is a large party in Spain who recognizs him as their chief, and taking into consideration the two facts, first, that a price has been set on General Prim’s head by the Spanish govern- ment, and, second, that Spain is ripe for revo- lution, this reported landing is not without deep significance. Spain is one of those coyn- tries of which the best and the worst one can say is that it is In a state of ohronic dis- content. What would oure the country of its il's, Spaniards themselves soem sadly at @ loss to know. General Prim’s landing in Cawlonia may be tho signal for a general rising in Spain and it may not. Me. Seward on the State Department. We give to-day some interesting correspond- ence from South America, includiug a letter from Mr. Seward to the United States Minister at Colombia. In the course of this letter Mr. Seward acknowleiges the inefficiency of his department. He says the nature of the struggle now in progress in the United States of Colom- bia “is very imperfectly understood here.” By “here” he means, of course, the State Department, and we would be oblized to some one who could tell what part of foreign politics is not “very imperfectly understood” in that wonder‘ul place. The Excise Law. We give to-day a queer case under the Excise law, beard before the Board. The question was whother or no a certain dealer’s liconse should be revoked for alleged violation of the law. allegation was that the police had seen mn drinking on the premises on Sunday. The dealer explained that the part of the premises on which the drinking took place was let to social club, that. the club bought its beverages on Saturday and drank them when- ever the members chose. The defence was held to be enfficient, and the license was not revoked. Two members, however, voted to revoke the license, they indicating a disposi- tion to go rather beyond the law, and punish not only the selling 6f liquor, but even the drinking of it. Taternational Courtesics. The State Department can not only accept insult with an unruffled temper, but is appa- rently rather fond of it, and can be frowned and bullied into subservient civiilty easier than any spaniel. How else can we interpret the fact of its putting » government vossel at the disposal of the wife of the Mexican leader Juarez forthe voyage from New Orleans to Vera Cruz? Ata Mexican port only a short time since an American vessel was boarded and a prisoner torn from the protection of the national colors; straightway we reciprocate this triendly act by clvilities to the wife of the Mexican President, as if we would placate the fary of that {illustrious people. There is no trouble over putting ® national vessel at the service of the wife of a Mexican ; but when it was desired that the wife of Farragut should sail on a national ship the tumult was terrible.
