NEW YORK HERALD, ‘WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1868. Buch? gan and bis friends had CaU® s they were Staies, OPT psing nat P' sod the same, i deniai of any constitutional rights im them to protest, Ho read the resolations of Joly 1, 1864, declaring that such States were incapable of exercising the functions as such i the Union, Neariy all the Senators voted in favor of Yhat resolution, inciuding Messts Hendricks and Doolittle, What constitutional rights bad they at that Ume? he would ask the Senator from Iudiana (Mt. Hendricks.) He quoied from Mr. Hendrick’s bh as Mig explanation in regard to his vote m thi ‘ier Davis bill and amendments thereto. Mr. Eeypricks, (dem.) of Ind,, explained, when Mr. ‘Witiema quoted anot! instance in which Messrs, Hendricks and Buckalew voted for the resolution of February 8, 1965, excluding those States from partici- \Wou in the ‘electoral votes for President and Vice Prest- @ent, If those States then had no right to such repre- sentation, what constitutional rights had they If they had forfeited that right in consequence of rebellion, had ‘they not forfeited other rights under the constitution? The republican party stood upon the samo view of the constitution which those Senators then took. Mr, BrcekaLew said the action tn question was @ declaratory one, and he had voted for it so as to presorve order in Congrogs, believing that in tbat condition the electoral votes of those States ought not to be counted so a8 to influence the result of that Presidential election, Mr, Monroy, (rep.) of Ind., said that resojution oon- tained a distinct recognition of the fact that those Bsatos were not entitied to reprosentation In Congress, and asked when they bad since obtained that right, Mr, BucKALEW said the resolution did not declare un- qGalitied absence of that fact; but that, under the circumstances, they could not, oxorr ise it. Mr. Witiiama said he was not concerned with reasons influencing Senators in voting upon legal constructions of the constitution of the United States, He,proceedea “to ask whether the Supreme Court had the right to deny the right of Congress to declare those States in in- surrection, which declaration bad ever boon with- drawn by Congress, except in the case of ‘Tennossco, Their Jogal status was theng unchanged, and Congress had the right to keop it go until in its opinion it could be safely done. Such a condition might arise now as to make it just as necesaary to continue the war as woen Lee led his armies, He quoted again from the Supreme Court Reports the defini- tion of “rebels”? ag — “belligeronts, —althoush public enemies,” and asked what constitutional Tights thoy had at the time they were so declared? By tho law of nations no limitation existed upon the power of the conqueror over tue conquered beiligerents save that of clemency. Neither Lee nor Johnson pretended to deny the right of their conquerors to dictate terms and c'aimed constitutional rights, At the close of the war it became necessary to replace disloyal with loyal governments, All the departments of the government acquiesced in Andrew Johnson's declaration that no civil governments then existed tn those States, Con- gress now occupied precisely that posiion, The Seua- tor from Indiana (Mr. Hendricks) and the recent demo- cratic conventions concurred in oulogizing Andrew Johnson's policy, and had committed themselves, there- fore, to that doctrine, He (Mr. Williams) then took up the qnesiion of the right to restore those States, and asked whether Andrew Johnson had a right to call a convention in New Jorsoy as well as in North Carolina to form a coastitu- tion; and if not, why? Because New Jorsey had constitutional rights, and North Carolina had none. Let it be remenbercd that the democratic party and Its Ajax in the Sena! Hendricks) bad claimed the right of Johnson to form governments and disfranchise hundreds of thousands, and denied the right of Congress to enfran- chise any one. For what purpose was a State constitation submitted to Congress, if not to be subject to ite judg- ment? Ifthe peopie’s action in adopting a constitution excluded Congress from pronouncing upon its propmety, then Utab, if her people formed a constitution recog: nizing polygamy must be admitted asa State under it. He quoted Luther vs. Borden, and said that what Mr. Hendricks read and called the opinion of one judge cwas a doliberato decision of sight judges, yro- nounced by Judge Taney, that the decision of Con- gress as to whether a Stato has a republi- can form of governmont is binding upon every ether department of tho government. He argued abat the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Hendricks), like ‘every good democrat, im supporting the President's ‘policy and claitning that it was for him to recogaize tho establishment of a republican form of government, was Inconsistent with the President's assumption that the for the purpose of Congress could certainly” employ the military power of the government as ona On thetaw author- izing the raising of troops to put down rebellion ho re conventions called by him wor forming stato governments, of the means of executing tho law. cited as one of its objocls tho establishment of republt can foims of goveramont io the rebellious Staves. Guaranty of a debt secured its payment if required by the guarantor. Congress, therefore, must, if the people of aState fasied to provide it, make a government ro~ pabiican in form, He quoted Judge Taney’s decision that military power was not a republican form of govern ment, and Congress bad a right to replace it, and :rom Wheaton the decision that it is for Conzross to pro- nounce upoa the fact, He closed by arguing that it was expedient a8 well as just for Congress to settle the question, At throe o'clock Mr. Monritr, (rep.) of M the Guor, when, om bis mouon, turther pened until to-morrow at one o'clock.

(Laughter,) Mr. Sumuer’s amendment was lost, After further debate Mr Ramsey moved to strike ent {wen'y as the numver of authorized «pectal mail agents, and insert twenty-five, saying that number was necessary for the business of the departmont. A aumber of ape cial agents were required on (ho mail stoamers crossing the Ailantic, a tbe mails for Chicago and eixewkere wero made up on board the steamers. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Parrersoy, (rep.) of N.

He referred to a postmaster re- Jectod by the Senate who was afterward appointed by the President as a special agent i that very oflice There was no cure for this state of things except a radical cure. Mr, Fessknpex pointed out several cases in which great inconvenience would arise to the business of the departments without authority to make these temvorary appointmente, He feared gentiemen might go too far in limiting this power, They must rely somewhat upon the character of the gentlemen in office aud enable them wo do their busit i, oe apeona any legislation ou the subject ; they had gone far eaough in that direction, Mr, Parrernson disclaimed any such desire. He bad merely said if there are to be spoils, let them go iuto the hands of the victors, and got unto those of tho man who was opposing them.

Mr. Jupp, (rep.) of LIl., objected, Mr. Hichy then gave bis views in criticism of the bill as reported from the Committce on Foreign Affairs, and expressed the opinion that the substitute proposed by Mr. Jonkes bad less defects, Ho argued that the House should be slow in its consideration of the question, bat that when the policy of Congress bad been once declared the whole power and might of the nation should be pledged to its enforcement, Mr, Jupp explained nis reason for objecting to the evening session, which was that he deemed the quostion of sufficient importance to coinmand the attention of all members, and his experience had that evening sessions were generally mere debating schools, He do- Glared it to be the duty of Congiess to fix before it ad- Journed tho policy of the Execative on the subject of Tights t6 American citizens abroad, and to see that that policy was ontorced, Congress should make a de- claration of the rights of American citizens and preparations to maintain thom. Mr, Judd proceeded to criticise the bill and to show its weakness and indis- toctness, deciaring that it contained neither the asser- tion of principles nor elective propositions for the redress of the wrong. He quoted diamotrically opposite expressions of opinion on the subject of liability. to military service und of the liability of natura ized ciuizeva returning to their native country, ‘from Mr. Everett and Mr. Cass, when they were Secretaries of State, and asked to which of them did the bill refer in tho allusion to the principle of public law having been heretofore asserted by the government of the United tates. ‘The morning hour having oxpired before Mr, Judd had concluded hisgremarks, the bili then weat over till the morning hour to-morrow, FORVEMTURE OF SOUTHERN RAILROAD LANDS, The House then proceeded to the consideration of the dill reported by Mr. Julian, from the Committee on Public Lands, declaring forfeited to the United States certain lands granted to ald in the construction of rail- roads in Alabatna, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida, Mr. E.paiaoe, (dem.) of Wis,, addrossed tho House , 1a opposition to the bill, declaring that itand all kindred measures sprang from spite, and from ill will and revenge caused by the war. It rested on no privcipie of international or constitutional law, and was not ware ranted by the jaternal or external policy of the nation, and bad no foundat.on in sound policy or Christian statesmanship It had no tendency to effect pacification or to bring about the avowed objecis of the war; but it was calculated to rekindio the fires of war and per- petuate the maliguily aud bateed and bitter animositics engendered by war. Its objects wero to broak down the moral and material interests of the white race and to audjeot that race to the dommien of the African, ryViing was being done to destroy, nothing to build j everything to alienate and embitter; nothing to soften esperity or to restore amity or fraternity. pile bill was fariier opposed by Messrs. Muxcxs and IBLACK. Mr, Keuuey, (rep.) of Pa, in reference to a remark made by Mr. Munyen, which he supposed retlecied on thy city of Philadeipbia, that be (Mr. Kelley) repre- sented that city.as the beat example which the world gave of fair wage for honest lavor, In no other com- ‘munity en this or on the othor side of the Atlantic were thore so many families sleeping under roofs that were shoir own. It was pre.eminently characteristic of that city that tts laboring people owned their homes. Mir. Horxins, (rep.) of Wis, supported the bill, not from any foeling of prejudice or of hestility to the peo ple of the states affected by it, but because the lands 10 question wore actuaily forfeited by lapse of the grant, and because a large number of men had actually settied on these lan jog that they were now open to setiioment unde stead law.

The motion to adjourn was negatived, Mr. Hoiway advocated the bill in the interest of the Jandlords—men of the country. Mr. Juuian closed the debate, replying to all the ar- guments made by tho opponents of the bill, He yielded to Mr, Lawkenox, (rep.) of Ubio, who in- troduced a table to show that there was not enough poms land in the States of Alabama, Mississippi, uisiana, Arkansas and Fiorida to supply homesteads to the landiesa in those States, It shows that in Alas bama, Mississippi and Louisiana there were 291,367 wale 'citizens having no homes, and that if all ‘the lands subject to homestead entry could be cultivated they would only make 230,337 homesteads, Tho lands which this bill would open to homesteads in these Si would be 3,112,565 acres, whereas 4 89%,400 acres were needed for homesieads, and but half of the jands couid be cultivated for homosteads.

Without disposing finally of the bill the House at five o'clock adjourned, THE NATIONAL COMMERCIAL CONVENTION, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. The Proposed Assembling of the Commercial Wisdom of the Country at the ‘Hub of the Universe”—The Programme of the Convens tion—The Questions to be Considered. Boston, Feb, 4, 1868, The sccond Commercial Convention of @ national character ever convened in this country will meet in this city to-morrow. The first was beld In Detroit a couple of years or more since, and was attended by upwards of tive hundred of the leading men of the country engaged in commercial pursuits Its proceed. ings wore uot particularly noticeable for harmony or beneficial resuits, and the experience of that assemblage will undoubledly be turned to some advantageous account during the sessions of the similar gathering which Is to meet here to-morrow, It is the intention of the projectors of this second con- vention to exclude al} matters of a political nature, and if they are successful im this they will secure greater harmony than,tho Detroit convention was noted for. Hiram Walbridge was the presiding otlicer of the gather- ing in Michigan and Hannibal Hamlin, one of hia polici- cal and personal enemies, was a delegate, and all uhrough the deliberations of the convention (here was a constant aud bitter aaimosity cropping out between the two. The Detroit Conveut.ou, being the pioneer of com- mercial assemblies of a national character, was attended by ail authorized represeutatives of Boards of Trade or Chambers of Commerce who cared to be present. This gatuering to be heid to-morrow will be manifestly different, inasmucu as it is to be composed oaly of delegates from the various Boards of Trade in the several citjes By this rule ihe Boston Convention will have, at the bighost estimate, only about two hun. dred and fitty delegaics against six or eight hundred who were present at the Detroit congress. A conyider- able number of the delegates have already arrived, but the majority of thom will come in on the early trains to-morrow, Amon@ the cities already represented are Cincinnati, Chicago, Detro.t, Cieveiand, Milwaukee, Charieston, 8. C.; Norfolk and Richmond, Wilmington, N. ©.; Baitimore, Philadeiphia, Pittsburg, &. Besides these ‘all uve cities in the Eastern and Middle States will be fully represented, and New York city will have forty voices in the Conventiou, twenty of them representing the Chamber of Commerce and tweuty the Corn Ex- change. According to the present arranged programme the Con- vention Will meet in the rooms of the Bosion Board of Trade to-morrow, at ten o'clock, and, with two sessions on that day, the same uumber'on Thursday and three on Friday, conctude its deliberations on the evening of the last day named, The early features of the Couven- tion will, of course, be shaped by the Bostonians, but they are very reticent as to what their‘pians are. One of the officials, for ins:ance, assures me that Charles G, Nazro, President of tho Boston Board of Trade, wit call the body to order. In reply as to who will be the tem- porary and permanent presiding officers he answers rather evasively to members of the press, but to the delegates be says that the temporary management will be given to a Philadelphian, and that the permanent presidency will be given to Mr. Bagley, ex-Vresident of the Detroit Board of Trade. One of the Cincinnati de- legates, who arrived yesterday, has intimated that eituer Waibridge or Hamlin would be more acceptable than the man whom the Bostonians bave named. ‘The questions to be considered by tho Convention, as is already known, are very simple, and ought not to re- quire a great deal of time of men who are thoroughly practical, They will be brought up in the order named : ‘The improvement of our inland and interior means of transportation, 2 The adoption of a uniform system for the measurement of 1 \jast- ment of the curroucy question im a manner which will reconcile the conflicting sectioual views, while at the samo time promoting the wellare of the whole country. 4. The restoration of (he foreign commerce of the coun- try from its present greatiy depressed condition. 5. The organization of a national Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce, During their stay here the delegates will, of course, receive many social courtesies. ‘Tho lirst of these will be a sicigh ride to-morrow af-ernvon after the Conven- tion is organized ; the second a concert and exercises on the “big organ’’ in the evening; (he third a banquet in Music Hall on Thursday evening, and the fourth a social reuaton at the American House on Friday evoning, after the Convention has dnisued up all ite business, Aside from these there will probably be several interesting incideutal entertainments in honor of the commercial visitors, SHIPPING NEWS.
