According to advices from Richmond, Va, to- sight, the radical mass convention there to-day was composed Of about twenty-five hundred negroes and nine white men, Hunnicutt, Judge Underwood, an Irishman Bamed Morriasy, whites, aad Joe Cox and Lewis Lind. Say, negroes, were the nominees for the Convention from that city. Each candidate was called on to speak. Hunaicutt led off, and gave the following as the smendments be should seek to have incorporated in the constitution of the State:— First, be was in favor of universal manhood euflrage regardiess of caste, class or color. Of a free school system, the money to build up and perpetuate which was to be raised by ataxation of the real and Personal property of every man in the state, If rebels don’t choose to send their children to them along with Regro children, he will say to them, “You shall pay for free schools.” Second,‘He would disfranchise first every rebel editor in the State, because they had fooled the people with the war and kept it going for years after it should have stopped, and Decause, since the close of the war, they have kept the State out of the Union and prevented re- construction, They had led the peopie astray and the sooner they were gotten rid of the better, Third, the rebel preachers should also be disfranchised if they Would not stop making political speeches and confine themselves to their closets and deska, They should be rendered harmless by being disfranchised. In regard to rebels, he would enfranchise all who accepted the situation in good faith and vote the republican ticket, He would disfranchise ~ all rich merebants who mado money by blockade ruoning during the war and extorted from the families of soldiers, ‘He wouid disiranchise ali who had jbombproof positions, post office cierks, overseers and many who were ready to tell where a poor fellow was hiding from the conscript officers could be found. He woud enfranchise ali farm- ers who were forced to furnish supplies to the Confede- rate army. He would disfranchise office hoiders and all persons of influence who siood up for the rebellion, He mid there are thirty ‘thousand in the State who ought to be dis{ranchised, and should be, if he could carry it in the conventvon, ‘He would enfranchise nea, like Longstreet, who had so spoken or written that they could not go back to the rebels, Ho would adhere to the principle he proclaimed until the people of the State repented in sackcloth and ashes for their sins. Morrissy followed Hunnicutt and endorsed all he had said, but went farther, He would disfranchise forever every foreigner who had renounced his allegiance to the United States and assisted the rebellion. Louts Lindsay said he would vote to strike the word “white” out of the constitution and give negroes per- feos equality with white men in all Feapects; at all eventa, in railroad cars, churches and wherever they might choose to a sert it, He declared himselt the re- resentative of the United States in the Convention. Joe Cox, the other negro candidate, also eudorsed Hounorcutt’s speech and said, with Underwood and Hunnicutt at his back, he was not afraid of the devil, A radical orator announced as one princi- ple of the party the abolition of the captiation tax, and raising the entire revenue from taxes on pro- perty. Such is the ical «= pregramme, and if they carry the Convention, the constitution will be framed in accordance with it, An opposition ticket will be putia the Geld in forty-eight hours, end gentlemen will visit New York in its interests, Great dissatisfaction is expressed by the'most promi- went members of the radical party here at the tieket momiwated. The opposition to Judze Underwoud is epen and violent, Caucuses have been held to-night, and it is confidently stated that another ticket will be mominated to-morrow night, The nominations were Teshed through to-day, without giving those opposed to them an opportunity to be heard. The party is now split Into three sections, There is a probability that the disaffected radicals and conservative republicans: will unite on a ticket. Strange Reveiatl: Relative te the Car terfelt Boods—Further Points of Diflerence Between Them and the Genuine. An individual whose relation to the Printing Division of the Treasury Department for a long time past has been such as to entitle his statements to full beilef, eaid to-day that be had been pursuing certain mysterious clues that had come to his notice in the Treasury, and had excited his suspiion that semething was going forward that would not bear public inspection. This person states that ho is satisfied that the plates of the counterfeit one thousand doilar bonds were executed tn the Department itself, According to bis expianation, impressions on lead were taken from the original plates of the A and B series, and irom these impressions the plates were enzraved ina secret manner within the Department. The fact that ihe plates were engraved from impressions taken {rom the originals, be says, accounts for tbe slight inaccuracies of the counterfeits, In making these disclosures, the Superiuiendeat of the Printing Division of the Treasury is not charged with any complicity in the matter, as, it is alleged, that the engraving was executed without his knowicdge, Itis only stated that the Supermteddent, togetver with other prominent officers of the Depariment, bave discovered all the jacts in the case, and are endeavoring to keep them from the public. IT cannot abso- lutely vouch for the truth of tte forgoing ebarges, but they come through a channel so appar ently trustworthy that I deem it my duty to give them to the pubtic. There are many points of difference in the counterfeit notes which Mr. 8, M.Clark, Chief of the Printing Bureau, did not deem necessary to include in his report to the Secretary of the Treasury, there being so many of them, one of which, in addition to the others heretofore mentioned, may be of service in detecting the false issue. In the counterfeit notes the lines forming tne Fight shoulder of the female in the central vighette not come up to the sword, but leave a while space, In the genuine note the lines are not ouly more nuwer- ous,pbut they come clearly and distinctly up to tne sword, So far as discovered the Treasury Department has had presented to it oniy about seventy thousagd dollars worth of the spurious notes, The New York Kevenue Board Not To Be Abolished.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD, President, C Senate ¢ not Try Mr. Johnson Impartially—Ile Will Resist—The Chances of aa Armed Confiict— Tho Kiections to Decide Impeachment. Wasurxoron, Oct, 12, 1867. The same degree of excitement does pot seem to per- vade the public miad here, on poiitical gubjectz, now, as ‘was ovservable during the past week or two; et least, the outward manifestation of it 1s not so striking at be present time, It would be an error, of course, to sup- Fose from this that the deep interest usually frit in tue progress of political events, when the country is in- volved in domestic troubles, is failing In intensity; oa the contrary, woen the great national questions now dividing the sentimeat of the country are touched upoo in the course of conversation, the persixence wih which each clings to his own political qbeories, and the earnestness which characterizes his expression of them, shows, beyond « doubt, the profound interest felt in the issue of the ¢: isting national complications, The probabilities of these differences being brought to a Criais during the coming winter, have been, and are yet, the absorbing topic of discussion; aad in nearly every case, supposing that both Congress and the President are determined to resist each other as long as the shadow of a pretext can be found in the constitution and the Jawa, the course likely to be pursued by either is found to terminate ‘n violence and strife. The hope is gener- ally expressed when these matters are under considera- tion, that, before anything calculated to precipitate an armed conflict between the two antagonistic branches of the government, is done, either one or the other will hesitate in taking the fatal step, and thus hold the great question at issue in abeyance until it can be finally adjusted by the expressed will of the people, Many affect to disbelieve that the President entertains the slightest intention to resort to every means provided by the constitution, in order to maintain his position against what ho is convinced would be unwarrantabio usurpation on the part of Congress, They assert that the President bas never plainly announced any such de- termination; and that if he should harbor any such pur- poses, when the time for action came be would n@ dare do anything that would lead to open conflict, But the President has not had any occasion to make public his intentions in such an emergency; he has spoken freely among his frienda of what he conscientiously be- levee to ba his duty, should the executive powers prerogatives be assailed, and his views and course of ac- tion have been frequently made public—by himself in bis last veto message, when he informed Congress 4bat be did not mean (0 @urrender the powers ferred ; circulated or bie Porende wemerons occas since, The President has so repeatediy ex. his conviction that it is the solemn duty the jent to support and defend the consutation, that there is abundant reason to conc! that be wiil not tamely submit to be forced aside from what he believes to be his duty te the cou tee en cael bagel nd wg ne charges brought against him, such as the consita Précoribes shail be the sole grounds for impeaching the offences, and removed if found guilty, that certain forms for the attainment of be observed in the trial. If these requisites are attempt to suspend the President from the functions of his of pending the trial, would be inflicting the punish- ment before the accused is found guilty, and therefore an act of injustice, These are the principal views of the impeachment question, which are said to have been President at different times when in Mr. Jonnvon regards his official positién as one en- trusted to him by the poopie, who require of him that no portion of the republic shall be oppressed by unc- Rh edierremprasterod legiiation, It is weil known he believes the people of the onco rebel States are as much ja need of defence and protection from a party. the leaders of which acknowledge tbat they are acting outside of the constitution as tl jovernment was in need of defence and protection 81 from a party which acted under similar principles, The President sees that the country has grown familiar with the fierce denunciations which bave, ever since the close gf the ‘war, been hurled at the heads of the ereatiy sinning, but algo severely punished Southern people; and if apy man raises his voice in their bevalf he is at once branded as a copperhead, who is endeavoring to compass the de- struction of the government. [his denunciation bas had & twofold effect, Upon public men whose courage was equal to their knowiedge, it has had the effect to _ them into pubiic disgrace and thus deprive them their power to do good; and upon those whose courage was legs than thoir knowledge, it has bad whe effect of forcing them Inv a tacit sup; of measures which their own sense of tight and justice condemna, In the case of the leaders of the radicals, country and party seem to be synonymous; all regard for the cunsti- tution has been cast aside and usurpation preme, iheetlect upon the people of the cont be. laboring of the prostrated South has beeo equally pernicious, The p»pular sympathy being 80 consiantly excited against the former rebels by ‘endiess tirades on the iniquities of their leaders, the people have forgotton that the same crime against the constituon of the country may be commitied by those who thus lead their judgment astray. While the »ttention of the peuple is ‘opt fixed on tie past errors of the South, the President, doubiless, thinks he sees the radical leaders bo:raving their own trust, breaking their oath with the constitu. tion, which they are sworn to support, protect and de- fend, The people of ten Siates of the Union, whose crit though great, cannot make them other than brothers = oppressi revious and intolerabie that as ve and in as of the patriots nr the Revolution of probably believes that they may, with declare of oppressors that thev pep peqieon governors 10 pass laws of immediate and " to pass other laws large triets of people, unless those peopie would relinquish the right of represen ation 1n the Legislatare—e right in- estimable to them and formidabla to tyrants only.” They lave “made jud; dependent upon their will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries.”’ They have “erect-d a mui- Litude of new offices, and sent bither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance;’? *‘al- fecied to render the military mdependent of and supe- rior to the civil power; ‘combined with others to sub- Ject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and ‘unacknowledged by our laws;” “quartered large bodies of armed troops among us; mock trial from punishment for any murder which the; should commit on the inhabitants of these States;’” imposed ‘taxes upon us without our consent;’’ ‘‘de- prived us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by jury”? “taken away our charters, exciied domestic insurrections get us, our most valuable laws, altered fundamentally the forms of our govero ment, suspended our own Legislatures, and declared themselves invested wth power to jegisiaie for us in all Boe ards the work of the radi- t, perhaps, reg worl cal party in this light; believes that tue constitution is violated, as confessed by Thad Stevens, the Judiciary in- suited and the American people themselves made the Teproach of the niveteenth century. There is no doubt ‘whatever but the President will interpose all the autbor- ity and power vested in his bigh office to resigt what be beheves to be the usurpation of Congress, and witn it op attempt to iliegaliy deprive bim of bis position, 9 belief is expressed by many of the most experi- enced politiciat ot both parties, that the action of Congress in impeeching the ident, and the futuro course of the President bimseif with reference to bis policy, depends entirely on the issue of the approact State elections, If the popular verdict 1s found to be favor of the radicals, it will be regarded as an endorae- ment of the attitude lately assumed by Cor on re- coostruciion, and an ja) Of the impeachment pro- ject. If the elections show democratic majorisies and ‘cuasiderable conservative gains, it is thought that Con- gress will see the danger to the repuotican y in tho ‘great defection that w1il he caused im its ranks by push- ing to any desperate jength tue scheme of impeach. ment, In the event of the elections resulting in favor of the democrats, it ig also believed that the President will feet his bands suffictently strengthened to adopt more de- ‘e measures 10 bis efforts to restrain legislation to limits of the constitution, and to lighten th» burden those aeciions of the country alfectd by laws ed, a3 be thinks, oatside of the constitution, in de- spite of bis protests. Numerous changes, it ts binted, wil be made among promient olticers of the govera- ment, and tt is even said that the changes will com- mence in the Cabinet, In tact, everything may be suid to be at DB standstill until alter (be State elections, to be beld on Tucxday next and on the Sth of November, Noteven eecond aod third rate offices will be filled, it is sad, and ramor bas it that Secretary McCulloch declines to make the appolotment of Deputy Commissioner of Internat Revenue, preferring to eave the perplexing task to his successor, whose advent is so close at hand that no embarrassment will easue to the Department by the deiay. The vast importance of the fali clections is abundantly evident, from the gecat energy displayed by the party leaders on either side. Every available means toat wil bo likely to indoence a single vote is made use of.

Curtous Results of the Vote in Ohio~Twelve Congressional Districts Carried by tho Democrats. At the election for Congressmen in Obio last year the Tepublicans carried 16 out of the 19 districts in the State. The democrats elected their candidates in the Fifth, Twelfth and Thirteenth disiricte—the latter by & majority of 271, which Columbus Delano, the defeated candidate, is now contesting. At the election on the 8h inst, thé democrats carried 12 out of the 19 districts, and came witbin a hundred of carrying two or three others. In the two districts carried by them last year, and not contested, their majorities increased from 2,652 to 5,264 in the Filth district, and from 3,210 to 6,002 in the Twelfth istnot, while in the Thirteenth, which ts being contested, the democratic majority increased from 271 to 1,849, In every republican district the majorties are cut down immensely, In the Seventh district, which gave Hon, Samuel Shellabarger 2,171 majority last year, the radicals escaped with s bare 95 majority at the recent election, while in the Eighth district the majority was reduced from 1,852 to 62, In the Second district the radical candidate was defeated by nearly 1,000 votes, General Cary, his successful opponent, although per- sonally in favor of negro suffrage, is opposed to forcing it upon any State, and pledged himself to the democracy to oppose any measures looking to the passage of a bill by Congress enfranchising the blacks either in the North or South, He may, therefore, be regarded as an opponent of the Congressional policy of reconstruction, The following will show the districts (republican last year) which were carried by the democracy on the Sth instant :— FARST DISTRICT, Republican majority m 1966.

The Vote in Pennsylvania=The Democrats Carry Eleven Congressional Districts. While the absence of any excitement elsewhere than in Philadelphia was the cause of a very small vote being Polled, nevertheless the reaction was sufficiently marked to cause aloss to the radicals of five Congressional die tricts now represented by republicans, and to reduce the majorities in three or four other districts to merely Bommal numbers. It will be observed that two of the districts gained by the demotrats are exceedingly closee— one giving only fifteen majority and the otner only one.

Scaling the fence Mr. Colo found that the distillation of villainous molasses whiskey was under full headway, and conducted on a ry large scale, Nothing more could then be done; but a formal seizure ‘was made, and in the evening a deputy marshal was despatched to the piace with @ wagon, to cleau it out and bear off the spoils, The whiskey ites are in anything but an amiable mood, in consequence of these interruptions to their business, and their tareats of resistance and vengeance have loud and numerous, The glittering bayonets of the marines, however, ha' very wholesome effect u} them, and it is probaole that no serious disturbance will Tesult, aud that the whole iilictt distillation of wht ip that section of the city will be ultimately broken up, and thousands of dollars saved to the national troasury.
