It is asserted, on the assumed authority of the Board of Registers in Georgia, that no negroes will be allowed to take seats in the Convention in that State, In bis late letter to the citizens of South Carolina, Wade Hampton said that the Supreme Court had decided that a negro could not be a citizen of the United States, and Congross could aot change that decision by an act, but he still favors universal suffrage as it now stands 10 the South. To the Constitutional Convention yesterday, the Com- mittee on Charities and Charitable Institutions made a report. The Committee on the Judiciary also made a re- Port which, among other things, retains all local courts a3 in the present constitution. The powers and duties of the Legislature were then considered in Committee of the Whole, and a section directing the Legisiature to provide for a court of claims was adopted. Om taking a vote, it was found that no quorum was present, and the Conven- tion adjourned. Bridget Durgan, the murdereas of Mrs. Coriell, was exeouted at New Brunswick, N. J., yesterday.

The whites aad biacks broke out in opem war at Washington, East Tenntasce, on Wedncsday, the fight resulting in the wounding of « imber of persons. A general war among the races feared will be the result im that region. The Missouri radicais are nonplussed aboat Grant, and the leading radical paper of St. Louis deciares him to ave forfeited rad:cal confidence. The yellow fever has broken out among the crew of the tron-olad Mahaska at New Orleans. Four of the crew have died and four of the officers are sick. There were twenty-six Geaths in that city yesterday from that disease, The Fate ef the Rep Aaarchy. For two yeara tho party which has held the power has been trying to restore harmony to the country. For six months the work went bravely on, and wo had hope. The President, however, backed by a Cabinet created only for evil, and urged on by a rabid rebel fac- tion which appreciates nothing but force, threw in the first element of discord, and the political duel between the Executive and Con- gress then had its birth. The radical faction were apparently only too happy to pick up the gauntlet which Mr. Johnson threw to them. The contest continued for many months; the President almost reached out his hand for the purple. Congress, defeating tho effort, has strack in its turn fore military dictatorship. Still the fight goes on and the end is not yet. Now the struggle rowed down, and argumont almost ceases .— of Its elements. Now it isforce! Whois to reconatract the country; the Congressional or the executive power? If the former alone, then we have a usurpation anda dictatorial goverament; if the latter alone, then here, too, we have a dictator. Congress andoubtedly intended, in its late laws, to make General Grant the focus of force, who thus, a3 “Mayor of the Palace,” was to hold Mr. Johnson ® nonentity—a mythical power. The con- test betweon the rivals trembles on the brink of open war. In the meantime they have for- gotten every material interest of the country; wrecked our finances and internal improve- ments; swept the ocean of our commerce; marched onward iu such a mad party race that uothing save the youthful vigor of the nation stands the staggering blows dealt against it. I¢ is evident that the problem of reconstruction has not been well dealt with, Tt was not commenced in a proper manner, and the mending process bas been going on from bad to worse until the sword alone threatens to cut the knot so stupidly entangled. What are the remedies proposed in this crisis? On the part of Congress it is advocated that the President be impeached, and that the Presi- dent ot the Senate, Mr. Wade, on the moment and before trial, proceel to the White House and eject Mr. Johnson by force if necessary. It General Grant refuses -to lend bimself to the seizing of the government by one of its branches, he must give place to some general who will nat so refuse. The executive plan is not inferior in boldness, and leans for support upon the Bonaparte method—the overthrow of Congress and the absorption of its powers within the Executive—in fact, a dictatorship. In all this turmoil the radical organs published throughout the country, and especially in this city, know not where they stand. They and the radical leaders have, like Phaeton, tried to drive the chariot of the san for a day, and, finding the task beyond their skill, now require a Jupiter to restore harmony. They have not yet the boldness to tnke extreme measures, but are tremulousty trying to push each other upto the point. One of their great leaders, Mr. Stevens, bolder and more honest than his fellows, frankly avows that Congress has attempted a usurpation of all power—an overthrow of the constitution and the estab- lishment of a revolutionary goveroment. The political weapon, the negro franch’se, with which they struck for power in the South, has such a dread recoil that it makes the North tremble; and society, as reconstructed there, threatens, by its proconsular system, to taminate the whole nation; threatens to r its wave of ignorance northward; threat- ons the stability of the republic: for this is a representative government, and intelligence is now in the minority If the couatry is allow: made a political football, kicked and torn by the narrow ideas of party rule, then we are to have naught but anarchy; its attendant inter- nal dissensions; the splitting into fragments; the overturning of all social progress and ma- terial development; and, after long labor pains that will destroy all we prize, thea must c the birth of despotism; for despotism reaches and culminates in power side by side with rain, To this we afarch with sach rapid strides that fow among those who aow contend for power dare face the results which they have lic—Despotism or n this way to be SATU the common sense of our people, both North and South. They must rise in the coming elections, overturn the contending factions, and, basing the government on intelligence, not ignorance, restore the republic. Tho Last Death Upon the Scaffold. ‘Thore is a natural repugnance in all civilized communities to the execution of a woman ; but the crime for whioh Bridget Durgan suffered death upon the scaffold in New Jersey yester- day was so revolting in its character and so horrible in its details that the great majority of the people all over the Union ‘will rejoice that in her ease the extreme penalty of the law was exacted. Ever since the sentenca of death was passed upon the miserable criminal & determined effort has been made to enlist popular sympathy in her behalf, with a view to averting the punishment justly due to her great crime. It is matter of congratulation that New Jersey 60 steadily resisted the impor- tunate demands of this diseased sentimentality, which decks to save the life of « criminal all the more vigorously in proportion to the mon- atrosity of the offonce for which he is doomed to suffer. In this case the murderess was a woman of a very low standard of intelligence, and almost entirely without education. The iden had entered ber dull braig that she could sup- plant her victim, the wife of Dr. Coriell, ia the regard of her husband, and she dwelt upon 1s until it took the obaracter of a monomanis. Her victim was a young, handsome, refined, educated lady; herself a coarse, uncouth creature, without anything to render her attractive. There was, apparently, nothing to warrant the crazy notion; but there it waa, a fixed, absorbing fancy; and {t led her on to take the life of the poor woman who, as she supposed, stood in her way. This is the whole story as far as it can be gathered from the con- fessions made by the wretched murderess. And what a heartrending story do those confessions tell! Not in the whole range of romance is there any such terrible recital as the details of the crime taken from the lips of the condemned woman. Tho stealthy tread of ths murderess as she crept towards the sleeping mother; the blows with which the Poor creature was awakened from her sleep to find the fiend with a butcher knife at hor throat; tho deadly struggle for life; the cruel stabs and cuts with the knife! Thon, when the wretch believed the dead of blood to have been completed, and left the supposed corpse upon the bed, how the poor woman crawled, all bleeding and faint, out of the room, and dragged hers2If towards tho garden gate ; how her unrelenting enemy followed her and ordered her back into the house; how she obeyed, without a word, as if too weak and despairing to resist any further, kissed her little child as she passed to her death, and then sunk down on the floor to await the last merciless and fatal blows! What fiction can be more horrible than this dreadful reality? There were some features about the execu- tion which might well have been omitted. The day was a holiday in New Brunswick. The tickets of admission to the jail were eagerly sought afler and purchased for money. So many were issued that the inside of the jail yard was densely mgs wha ed while outside an immense concourse of women and children—sought to y oviaia seek some t glimpse of the scene. It would have been better if this parade and excitement had been wanting; but the general sense of the community approved of the exeougun, and all seemed to be satisfied that, in this case at least, the gallows was the fitting punishment for the sion” OT ee The Menev Power ia Europe. Notwithstanding the abundance of money, Russia cannot borrow a cent im the great capi- tals of Western Europe. Her newly authorized loan, teluctantly admitted to the Paris market, finds no takers there, and is equally flat in London. It has bebind 1t the special guarantee of a government rallway; but capitalists look upon a guarantee of that character from a despotic government as waste paper, since it is not supposed that such a Power would respect one obligation when it could pot meet another. But it's not beoause of their want of faith in Russia’s power to pay that the money potentates refuse to lend. It is because they mistrust the purpose for which she desires to raise this money. They fear a Russo-Turkish war, that would, by involving the Western Powers, unsettle all European values and sake the gencral foundations of public credit. They will not encounter such dangers for the small gains of a new loan; and thus the natural fears of the money market keep the giant penniless and powerless and secure the peace of Europe more certainly than could all the treaties ever put on paper. Law. The petition of George L. Schuyler, to be adjudged a bankrapt and discharged from all his debts, affords an insight into the reckless manner in which business is conducted in the city of New York. The petitioner is a brother of Robert Schuyler, the former President of the New Haven Railroad, who left the country in consequence of the exposure of the well r - membered frauds in which he was implicated, and died in Italy. The indebtedness of George L. Schuyler is set down at not less than four million dollars: and he swears that he has no assets whatsoever, “neither land, property, stock, household goods, wearing appare| nor personal property of any description.” He is literally cleaned out—s respectable, upper ten pauper; and yet from the list of his confiding creditors he appears to bave enjoyed a good credit and s remarkable facility for borrowing } money. Among his creditors for “money loaned” are eome gentlemen who enjoy the reputa- tion of cautions, prulent business men. ‘The brokera figure very prominently among the confiding victims. A prominent democratic Manhattan Club politician is touched to the tune of one hundred and eighty-two thousand dollars. One well known broker figures in the echedule for thtee hundred and twenty- nine thousand doliars, “money loaned.” Four other firms in the same business evinced a similar confidence in the bankrupt to the gross amount of about seven hundred thousand dollars, Some sharp lawyers are creditors for one hundred thousand ; while the great rail- road king auffers for over half a million, and Brokers are | the plenipotentiaries who arrange all in these days. TPP OU aay made a pilgrimage to Washington and paid a Singular Developments of the Bankruptcy | visit to the White House, where he has enjoyed RDAY, AUGUST 3L 1887. The loans by themselves amount to over two million dollars. This is probably only one of » number of cases that will arise under the operation of the new Bankrupt law, in which the reckless manner of doing business in this rushing, crowding, speculating, hairbrained metropolis will be strikingly illustrated. Tho Situation in Europe—Napeleen’s Speech om Peace. By a special telegram through the Atlantic cable, dated in Lille, France, yesterday after- noon, we are informed that the Emperor Na- poleon, who met witha temporary delay on his journey from Arras towards Paris, appeared on the Bourse of the first named city and addressed the assembled financiers and dealers on the present aspect of political affairs, His Majesty anid that “business would progress better if certain journals did not exaggerate the situation. I hope,” added the Emperor, “that oommerce will improve with the certainty of peace, and I shall do every- thing In my power to re-establish confidence.” The city of Lille ts perhaps the most import- eat manufacturing centre fa France. Its ertisans have te work hard for emall wages. They are rather poorly housed in crowded tenemen‘s, aad not overfed at any time. They | | aro, however, intelligent and of independent minds, and grumble ominously when the coun- try is about to be disturbed and trade de- pressed by war, for the men of Lille have come of late to prefer the shuttle to the rifle or sabre. To such @ population it must be very agreeable to have from the imperial lips an easurance of the “certainty of peace,” accom- panied by a promise that their ruler would do everything in Bis power to “re-establish oon- Gdence.” The ase of the words “re-establish con- fidence” leads te the inference that the situation, as tending to war, had impaired {t, and perhaps the knowledge of this highly tmportant fact imposed on Napoleon what we may term « necessity for the delivery of the very significant words which our special correspondent trans- mits by the cable. We learn, indeed, from other sources, under date of yesterday, that a more aecure feeling has been oreated in the mind of the public at Istge by the news reports from Paris. We are told that Napoleon has given pacific as- surances to Prussia, and that it is expected that an imperial note will immediately be issued from the French Foreign Office declaring a like policy tor the empire to the world. Identical with th’s, the Stuttgart Gazelle, the organ of the King of Wurtemburg, denies that the plan of a South German Bund was even mentioned during the Salzburg conference, and it is to be pre- eumed that the King is accurately informed on tho subject. What does this mean? Has Napoleon sounded the feeling of France and read it more accurately aince his visit to the camp at Chalons and the Salzburg conference? Has ho measured the strength of North Germany with more care and estimated the value of a South German alliance more truly? Perhaps he. has; and, ifeo, his present peeteatons are Ukely to be sincere. We must not, however, trust too mach to ap- pesrances or place unlimited taith in the words of the French monarch. We recollect that on the lst of January, 1859, the Emperor Napoleoa eaddenly and openly delivered bis war fueult to Baron Huebner, the Austrian Minister in Paris, at a levee at the Tuileries. A war panic immediately followed, and prevailed with great intensity on the Paris Bourse on the days of the Siand 4th of the month. On the 7th of January thirty thousand Austrian soldiers had marched for Italy; yet on the very samp day the Paris Monileur publishéd an article written to “soothe the panic.” A month later, on the 7th of February, 1859, Napoleon opened the session of the French Legislature with aspeech, in which he said :— “Far be from us, then, those false alarms, thes o unjust suspicions, these interested apprehen- sions, as peace, Lhope, will not be disturbed. Resume, then, calmly the ususl course of your labors. Ihave explained to you the state of our foreign relations, and this explanation cor- responds with all that I have made known dur- ing the Iast two months, both at home and abroad. You will, I flatter myself, Gnd that my policy has never ceased to be otherwise than firm, but conciliatory.” On the 19th of April the Moniteur had a “pacific” article; more yet on the 24th of the same month the commands of the French army were assigned to the marshals, and the Sar- dinian frontier was crossed next day. Peace may now be maintained in Europe ; but ourreaders need not be surprised should they hear of war. Feraande Wood and the White House. It seoms that Fernando Wood has recently the privilege of an interview with President Johnson. As Fernando Wood is a very smooth tongued, glib talking fellow, we have no doubt be has been giving the President » very glow- ing account of political matters in New York. We advise Mr. Jobnson not to believe anything that this magnificent rascal may tell him. He will, no doubt, pretend that he holds everything in his own hands fn this city, and can control or influence newspapers and manage organiza- tions and parties just as he may please. This ia all nonsense. Wood is as big a humbug as Barnum himself, and has no influence whatso- ever in New York. He is a sort of Robert Macaire politician, subsisting only upon his consummate impudence and such little elec- tioneering tricks and sales and bargains as he is enabled to concoct in a few of the wards of the city. When he next visits the White House the President should show him the door. Castxet Rewors.—Notwithstanding the vari- ous Cabinet rumors, we suspect that Mr. John- fon is not going to make any more changes. Least of all is it likely that he will remove McCulloch, and that official is about the only one whom the people care to sxe superseded just now. Tue Assistant Secretary or rae TREASURY.— Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Chandler says that be is willing to resign, provided he is allowed to select his own successor. This Is not exactly the way to do business. If thore is anything wrong in the Bureau it would bo well for the public to know who is going to be tha inooming offictal, The Election in Canada, There was an election in the aew dominion of Canada on Thureiay, and it seats to have been decided in favor of the cavalry. This statement of the result of an election may sound oddly in the United States, where we do not regard cavalry as forming any part of the electoral machinery of a fro2 and intelligent people. We ought, howover, to be charitable, and not blame the Canadians for not standing on the same plane of civilization with us, Some years of freedom ani self-government will do them a world of service in respect to teaching them the true nature of eleoctiona Just coming, as it were, from under the paws of the British lion, they feel some natural exa- berance and oan hardly be expected to pro- perly appreciate popular rights. When they learn that an election is only the ultimate de- cision of purely intellectual differences, they will exercise the great public function of cheosing ralers without the assistance of oav- alry, end then they will be Gt to take their places in the Union. By that time we shall, doubtioss, have settled our own differences and determined what form of government we are to live under ia the future, so that we shall be ready to receive them when they are ready to come; and in the meantime we must both ‘have patience. Miutster Bancreft’s Recoptien at Petedam. Minister Banoroft, as was to be expected, has been well received at Berlin. At the fnvitation of the King he accompanied Count Bismarck to Potsdam, and, according to our telegraphic report, not only had an inter- view with the King of three hours’ duration, but dined with the King and his minister in the evening. George Banoroft is an accomplished scholar and a brilliant conversationalist, and, though no historian, few men can talk more fluently or interestingly of current events. We are not surprised at the reception he has had in Prus- sia, In early life he was a student both at Gottingen and Berlin. His mind is saturated with German literature. One of his first ap- pearances as an author was as the translator of one of Heeren’s Historical Treatises. Bril- Mant, wild, poetical, cloudy, some passages in bis history are written in true German style. With King William and Bismarck he could not fall to feel himself in congenial company. In his hatred of Napoleon and of the House of Hapsburg the King and bis henchman would undoubtedly find a man after their own hearts ; and we can well conceive that his conversation would be a reproduction of his famous Lincoln oration, from the general and withering abuse of which Prussia was mercifully epared. From the conversation of the Minister the illustrious pair would learn more about Amorica than they could learn from any number of books ; but if, deceived by his brilliant talk, they take up his history in the belief that he discourses with equal ability of the things of the past, they will find themselves in grievous error. Bancroft may make @ good enough minister, but ho is no historian. Mr. McCulloch and the Treasury Dopart- moat Infacuce. Thirty years ago the United States Bank, in order to carry out its objects—which were un- popular and soon vanished before the votes of the people—undertook to use the influence of the Treasury ; 0 it paid the Courier an@ En- quirer fifty-two thousand dollars to bring over the democracy of New York to the support of the Bank. Tho proprietor took the money, but he could aot accomplish the end in view. Similar plans are being concocted now in the Treasury Department at Washington. The World, the grandchild of the Courier and En- quirer, which has been for the last two years showing up Mr. Chase and his policy as all wrong, in the most vivid colors, aow outvies the Tribune—whioh tas been always bis friend—in his defence. The World affects to keep the democracy of the State in its pocket. If ft has accepted another fifty-two thousand dollars it will fad it hard to deliver over the democracy to McCulloch aod Chase.
