Mr. Boutwell and the majority of the com- mittee rest their resolution of impeachment upon Mr. Jobnson’s “usurpation of power,” “this great salient point of accusation standing out in the foreground and challenging the attention of the country.” The charges resting upon this “ great central idea” involve the following :—Thaé President Jobason, on the collapse of the rebellion, neglected to convene the two houses of Congress—a step essential to legal and constitutional measures of reconstruction ; that he usurped the exclusive authority of Congress in undertaking himself the establishment of new local. governments for the rebel States; that ia the creation and maintenance of these unlawful governments he seized and sppropristed certain moneys and property of the United States and raised taxes unlawfully; that he has, “in messages to Congress. and-otherwise, publfcly denied, sub- stantially, the rigtt of Congress to provide fow the pacification, government and restoration” of the rebel States to the Usion, and has | “008 and autocratic exclusivemess they have ‘has cor- ‘that the Now, that Mr. Johnson, in many of these tho appointment of Assistant Attorney General shail be | Mr. Johnson were retained.

In their city convention—the last they will ever hold as a distinct organization—tho gtumblings and mutterings that were heard on all sides indicated the final disruption of the party as unmistakably as the eubterraneous rumblings in the West India islands foretold the coming earthquakes, A majogity of the Convention desired to endorse Fernando Wood for Mayor, not as their first choice, but as means of breaking up the corrupt Tammany close Corporation rings to which they bad slways been opposed. A few of the leaders, however, induced the Convention to make a nomination of thelr own and to appoint » committee of twenty-two, with power to fill va- cancies on the ticket, so that the eventual se- lection of a candidate might be transferred to the hands of the committee, and not left to the Convention. This movement was im the inter- est of Hoffman, the ledders wanting to sell out to him, while the rank and file desired to turn over their votes to Wood. Anthon, their nominee, was made a mere catspaw between the two, and he has therefore declined the nomination, The committee have oonsum- mated their bargain with Hoffman, the bulk of the party whl go for Wood, and the great Miles O'Reilly, Cooper Union or independent democracy, that one year age succeeded in electing Miles O'Reilly, dissolves itself inte thin air and vanishes, All that remains of it is to be found im the pocket of Judge Water bury, who will probably place it among his famous coltection ef fossils and” curiosities. Those who have been drawn into the organiza- tion, worked for it, voted with it, spent their money on it and made no profit out of it, will scarcely fancy’ being turned over like eattle to the old Tammany:ring, against whose corrup- so long made war, The breaking up and disappearance of this ence victorious Miles O’Reilly organization is only an additional indication of the approach- ing: disruption of all the old political parties and their reformatfon inte‘new combinations. It is of a piece with the general changes, con- vulsions and upheavings going on alk over the world—material, social, political and religious. Eruptions, earthquakes,. tornadoes and tempests have been’ the order of the day. Here an island has been swept sway, and there a town has been overthrowm or swal- lowed-up.

Russia, it appears, along. with s number of the smaller Powers, has agreed to take part in the proposed congress for the settlement of the Roman question. Prussia, it is expected, will send representatives, and the objections of England are supposed to be formal It may now be fairly presumed that the congress will be held, If, however, they are to consult the feelings of Pio Nono, and the feclings of no one else, it is difficult to see what a congress can do.
