In these despatches recently allusion was made to certain forthcoming disclosures in reference to the plot to obtain impeachment evidence against the President, and it was stated that an ‘affidavit would be Included, showing that Mrs, Dunham had received from General Butler $50, and was raproached by the jatter for not” having performed tho service for which she had been ‘@pgaged. In relation to this subject the following ts given as General Butier’s explanation:—While Conover was in jail in this city a lady who boarded in the Douse with Mrs. Dunham called om General Butier and informed him that Mre, Dunham ‘Shad said her husband knew of the whereabouts of cer- ‘tato very important documents bearing on the assassi- nation of President Lincojo, and subsequently a gentle- ™man, a boarder in the same ‘house with Mrs. Dunham, came to General Butler and reiterated this information, Mating, in addition, that Mrs. Dunham had said if she ould get money sufficient to defray expenses of trav ‘Ming she could obtain the papers in question, General Butler then said if Mrs, Dunham would bring to him a ‘statement from her husband setting forth the eharacter of the documents he would enable ber to get at them Mrs. Dunham afterwards called om the General with the required statement, and told him bat the documents were in New York, to which lace she would have to go for them, and that Mr. Dun- im had fully instructed her how to proceed in order ‘to obtain them. General Butler asked her bow much money she would need for the purpose She replied ‘that as elle would be obliged to have a companion she ‘Would need fifty doliars, This amount the General gave her, and was assured by Mrs, Dunham that she would plart that evening. Aday or two alterward Mrs. Dun- fam again appeared before the General, stating that as ‘gome trouble had occurred at ttle Jail she was unable to see her husband, but brought a note from him ex- ‘plaining that he could not give her the directions ‘pecessary to get the papers. ‘Then as you cannot go to New York,’ said the General, ‘you will not re- quire the fifty. dollars; so you had better return he money.” Mrs. Dunham answored that ehe had not Ske money to return, General Butler then told her he ‘knew the money had been used for other purposes, and ‘that she could not repay it. Mrs Dunbam was greatly ished, aud@ asked the General how he knew tbat bad made such use of the money, General Butler fered that he would tell bor a story. He then re- ated how, when he was in command of the Army of the James, he bad engaged a man to go ato the rebel Wnes and bring him an account of the rebel tron-clads ‘hat were being built at Richmond; how the mao @eturned in three weeks with a budget of interesting 4pformation, and how after the spy hed wid him his Story, Batler had produced a detective who disclosed dhat the spy had gone from the army to Washington, a@here he remained during the whole tme, instead of ng to Richmond, and finished by saying that he had ima ornamented with a ball and chain and set him to @igaing in Dutch Gap. The Genoral then told her that ede had her answer; she might go; and she went. {The Characs Against Collector Callicott. ‘Secretary McCulloch to-day instructed Commissioner Rollins to send to New York for all the papers in rela- ‘thon to the affairs of T.

CLEVRLAND, Sept. 10, 1867. Last night the Congress sat with closed doors and every part of the building guarded with armed soldiers, and the members were sworn not to divulge ite proceed- ings even to the Circles, except as permission was given, The proceedings throughout were stormy, and several times there was danger of the Congress breaking up in @ general row. Oonsiderable feeling was manifested at the proposition to swear the members to secrecy; but atter hearing instances narrated of previous bad faith it was determined to bind every member by stringent ‘oath to secrecy. The question whether women should be admitted to Circles was answered in the negative, because of their ipability to keep a secret. The message of President Roberts, occupying several columns, was given to the public, but the supplemen- tary message, containing accounts of his mission to Paris, was reserved for private conaideration of the Congress, In that document Mr. Roberts said that after visiting Circles in Great Britain and Ireland he went to Paris, where he met the representatives of the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood, He found the Iriah people very much discouraged since the failure in Canada, and it required bis best efforts to convince them that the Fenian Brotherhood, ae now organized in America, wero not responsible for the disaster, and to lay the blame upon the proper persons, the Srephons party. These men had Leen sent to Europe to work for the Cause, but instead of doing the work aid out for them they had put up at the best hotels, kept fast horses and faster women, and had squandered the ey which the poor, hard. working Irish people bad freely given for the independ- ence of Ireland. He had labored until the 4th day of July to effect a bond of union between the 1 R, B, of the Old Country and the F. B, of America, and upon tbat day it was accomplished, and to-day the two were one in par; He said the time and piace to make a strike came up and was fully discussed by the gentle- men. Some suggested sJx months from the 4th of July, but he told them that he did not think thas the two oF ganizations would be in fect working order so as to Btrike together before twelve months, and the matter was so deviled. He stated that the Irish of the Old Country were warm upon the subject, and only wanted the co-operation of the Irishmen on this side of the water; but that the Irish of the 1d Country would never rise again unti! an army fully equipped and armed stood upon Irish soil to defend them; that it was extreme recklessness, and would Jead to nothing but butchery for them to make @ strike without the aid of American Irishmen. During this Paris meeting Stevens and his party were denounced in most severe terms a8 adventurers, and they bave resolved to hold no communion with them. The organization here must bein pertect working order and be abie to make a gfand strike before another year, for “hope deferred makoth the beart sick,’ and Irish Tegel of the Old Country were looking across the water for aid. Mr. Roberts read a long document from the Irieh Re- Ppubdlic Brotherhood in zation in the Old Country to the Fenian Brotherhood mm America, pledging for a grand union and aid in tho*common caus», which was ad- dresséd to the Congress actembled in Cleveland, He then said ~ loft Fad — ~ erg be the hands nicely Congress, oping that they wou! guided vy wisdom and the love of Sieetly. General Spear, Acting Secretary of War, reported that the whole force of the Fenjau brigade numbered 9,300 enlisied mon, with bout 15,000 rifles, 16,500 accoutre- ments, 120,000 rounds of ammupition, ia addition, there were 100 rifles slong tue borders from St. Alban's to Uswogo in the hands of private parties; at Sackett’s Harbor about 2,000 stand of aris; at Piatt’s Point about 1,200, and at Oswego 119 rifles—in al! about 20,000. in addition to thie force, the Stevens wing claimed to have 15,000 stand of arms, 15,000 sabres and a large jot of munition, and & vessel in New York barbor. was decided that four military organizers should be appointed to raise troops; that an inspector general should also be appointed. Ton batieries of fisid artillery, three cavairy regiments of ten companies each, and two 1“ ¥ batteries, mounted, to go with the cavairy, are to appointed. Casey's tactics are to be adopted. A fund to defray army ex- penses is to be raised by collecting ten cenis trom each soldier. The soldiers of the army of the Insh republic, by which name the military organization is hereafter to be Known, are to be sober and discreet men, as woll as good fighting soldiers, No man addicted to intoxicating liquors is to be admitied into the ranks, and any man toond drunk will be dismissed. A committee from the Stevens wing of the Brotherhood sent a communication asking that a committee be sent to confer with them on the subject of the union of the two wings. After sharp dobate a committee was appointed, and the result of the conference was an arrangement for perfecting the union of the two factions of Fenians in America together with the Fonians in Ireland iato one organization, to be known as the Irish republic, Colonel Roberts was re-elected President, but declined unless the Congress would raise_ $500,000 for the cause, Half that amount was pledged aud ater farther con- sideration Colonel Roberts accepted the position. It was decided to call on all circles to immediately send to headquarters what funds were in their posses. sion, and to waste no more money for flags or trappings. Every avaiinbie dollar ts to be ueed for the purchase aud refitting of arms and the procuring of ammunition.

SPEBIAL GORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD Atpaxy, Sept, 10, 1867. ‘The amusing feature of this morning’s session was the bodily secession of Horace Greeley from the Con- vention, You will remember the throats which he has uttered so many times against its protracted delibera- tons. To-day he puf the last of these threats into fulfiment. When he got a chance he rose and de- liverea the fanny speech given below im the report of the proceedings, declaring that as the Convention had, by @ large majority, deliberately fixed upon the 10th of September aa the day of adjournment, and as that time had arrived, he felt himself relieved of any obligation to remain longer, He then opened bis d gathered his papers inio a heap, tied them up ina bandkerchicf and just at the hour of noon left the Convention cham- notify iptent Members that there wag nots quorum present. i The Passipent said he had already taken that precau- ion.

The result of the labors of the Commitiee on Educa- tion was given to the Convention this morning, in the report which is appended in the proceedings below. The original article of the constitution {gs vastly panded, as, indeed, are all the articles so far reported—a fact which gtves rise to the apprehension that the con- stitution which the Convention will finally agree Spon will resemble a volume of the statutes rather than a con- cise fundamental law for the State. The explanation which accompanies the report states that the object of the additional provisions is to guard inst all possible lose of the funds which are held for the benefit of the educational institutions of the State, Thero is no refer- ence, in terms, to the Board of Regents, but the supreme control of all Cy) academies and schools ie given to a State of Education, The hint is thas given to the next Legislature to abolish the Board of Regents of the University. The committee are of opinion that so long as the State Maintains common schools, subsidizes academies and supervises colleges it ie obviously better that all these interests should be the charge of a single department. The last article gives to the froodom ofthe common laws, which were enactedjby the Legislature, the per- petuity and protection of the constitution, THE DISCUSSION ON THE CANAL AND FINANCE QUESTIONS.
