Surrender of the Ex-Tycoon to the Mikado— The Civil War More Disastrous—Military and Aristecratic Coalition Agninst the Mikne domThe Church as an Element of Agitation. Yoxonama, June 5, VIA SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 1868, } The ¢ex-Tycoon has accepted the conditions of the, Mikado—viz., to cede nearly half of his private ter- ritory, disband his army, surrender his navy and re tire to Mito in person, for which place he left on the 2th of May, going on foot in token of humility. The Tycoon gave orders to his Admiral to sur- relider the fleet, but that officer left Jedido with all the vessels, and it is not certain whither he has gone. He is probably somewhere on the northern coast, ready to co-operate with the friends of Stats- Bashi. ‘The troubles of the-country are by no means at an ond. en . “Aatrong coalition has beon formed in thé interest of the Tycoon, and all the most powerful of the Northera Daimios have joined it. Aidsen attacked s body of the Mikado’s troops on the 10th of May, twelve miles from Jeddo, routed them and took possession of a castle recently sur- rendered by the Tycoon. - On the 17th of May he attacked another army, killed eight hundred and captured three huadred, all of whom he bebeaded, A large army occupies a strong position’ near Jeddo and another is threatening the city, thereby cutting off the retreat of the Mikado’s troops. ~* “Oi the 22d of May another engagement took place only six miles from Jeddo, also ending disastronsiy to the Mikalo, Fourteen hundred were killed and eight bundred captured, A Daimio of the Mikado’s household has been made Governor of Yokahama, in place of the old ruler, a retainer of the Tycoon. ‘The Euro; and Américan guards placed around the settlement have been removed, ‘The British Minister has already presented his credentials to the government of the Mikado, ‘The High Priest of Kioto has issued a bull warning the Mikado that he 1s iniersering too much in the temporal afuirs, and calling upon him to desist on pain of being called upon by the priesthood to abdi- cate, One hundred and seventy thousand copies of this ecclesiastical proclamation have beeu sold and distributed among the Japanese. The uacie of the Mikado, who has had considerable to do in fermenting the troubles against the Tycoon, was assassinated at Jeddo, June 2.

A Few Stray Planks of Mr, Chase’s Piatform. He regards the public lands as the estate of the people and Congress as the trustee, The people are the beneficiaries of the estate, and the whole duty of Congress is performed by such a disposal of the lands for the benefit of the people as an upright dis- charge of the trust requires. ‘The government should bring the public domain under cultivation, develop its hidden wealth, and add its treasures to the genergl resources of {he country. Mr. Chase is opposed to secret sessions of the United States Senate, because he says our institu- tions are based upon the principle of publicity. He is opposed to the appointment by Congress of expénsivée committees to sit during the recess, on the ground that Congress has no power to delegate its authority to individuals, He ts an advocate of emigration and a friend of emigrants, He says that emigrants are engaged in our commerce, in our manufactures and in our agri- culture; some of them represent the national sover- eignty abroad, and others worthily and honorably represent the soyereignty of States in the national legislature. Far from greeting them, he says, upon their arrival with harsh and odious discriminations, he wouid bid them welcome and receive them as brothers, Mlinois Germans for Chase. A gentleman prominently identified with the Ger- man element of Chicago, and just arrived in this city, states that a great change has taken place in the political views of a majority of the leading Ger- mans of not only the city of Chicago but throughout the State of Illinois. The movement in favor of Chase meets with great favor and is daily increasing to such an extent that it is thought the feeling may be put down as almost unanimous, A large number of officers, general, fleld and line, are at the head of the movement, as far as the military element ts con- cerned, and, while they pronounce Grant an efficient general, they think Chase is the proper man to be chosen to the high office of Chief Magistrate. ‘Trade with British North America—Opening of the St. Lawrence and the Fisheries. In the Senate on Saturday, Mr. Ramsey, of Min- nesota, introduced the following bill to regulate trade between the United States and the British North American provinces, and for other purposes, which . Was read twice, referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations and ordered to be printed:— Be tt enacted by the Senate and House of Repre- Inited States of America in Con- ress assembled, That whenever the President of the ‘nited States shall receive mye evidence that the governments of British North America, inter- in the provisions hereinafter set forth in this give full ing articles, bemg the wth, nown under the names of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Prince Edward’s Isiand, shall be admitted into the United States, rted, at a duty of five per centum Wool, seeds and vegetables; in the water; poultry, eggs, hides, furs, horses, manures, pitch, tar, turpenune, ashes, tim- ber and lumber of all kinds, round, hewed and sawed, unmanulactured in whole or in part; fine wood, plants, shrubs and trees, pelts, wool, fish oil, rice, broom corn and bark, maple sugar; gypsum, ground or unground; hewn or unwrought or wrought burr grindstones: dyestuffs; flax, hemp and tow, Le and all ar list, where the said articles are manufactured from products actually the growth or product of the coun- try so manufacturing them, being the British North unmanufactured; unmanulactured to- agricultural implements of all kinds; icles of manufacture not included in this American provinces aforesaid; provided that simi- lar articles, the growth, product and manufacture of the United States, shall be admitted into the said provinces of british North America at a rate of duty not higher than the duty imposed by this act upon similar articles when Imported into the United” tates from the provinces aforesaid; and provided further that all export duties upon any of the above enumerated articles sha be abotistied and cease to exist. ov ‘ Sxc. 2, And be it further enacted, That for the use and privilege of navigating the waters of Lake Michigan by citizens of Canada the same rights and privileges are to be conceded to the citizens of the United States by Canada in the waters of the St. Lawrence and its canals as are enjoyed by British subjects, without distinction as to tolls, and charg- ing rates proportioned to canal distance.

The Impeachwent investigation. Ward H. Lamon has been syimmoned to appear be fore tho Butler Investivating Committee. It is understood that the cominitiee base upon his vestl- mony some hopes of getting a few more names of persons supposed to have had something to do with the acquittal of the President. Butler seems to be determined to muster a strong force of witnesses, no matter what may be the result of the recent myste- rious, performances of himself and his colleagues. The report of the Impeachment Managers will pro- bably not be presented to the House before Wednes- lay. The Senate committee appointed to inquire into matters affecting its members growing out of thet peachment question has not yet entered upon the investigation. The Prospects of Adjournment of Congress The Tox Bill. ‘The talk about Thad Stevens’ new impoachment articles seems to have created a hitch in the adjourn- ment question, After their disastrous rout in the late Impeachm trial it would be presumed that the last hope of the raficais had departed, but it does not so appear in reality. Many of the extreme radti- eais talk of taking a recess for a few months, instead of adjourning, upon the grounds that Johasea cannot be trusted. They say that the President may undertake a wholesale distribution of patronage among the conservatives if his hands were uniled by the adjournment of Congress, and that he might undertake to secure this end by appointing oMfcers who would serve at feast until after the elections, ‘This seems to be the latest bugbear, and the radicais wish to avold stch a disastrous state of things by holding a rod over the head of the Executive in the shape of @ recess. The indications at this time, how- ever, do not show that this movement ts more than to ite tnolpiency, and is opposed particularly by & large Bamber who have some doubts about Metr re- i@lection a3 Well.as thobe who have beer left cold by falling to receive a renomination, Those favoring adjournment talk about fixing the time be- tween the 15th and 20th of July. An effort will be made by the Senate to pass the ‘Tax bill before the close of the present week. The Ashburn Murder—Barbarous Treatment The military commission for the trial of the per- sons accused of being implicated in the Ashburn murder st Columbus, Ga., will commence its session of Suspected Persons. at Atlanta, in that State, to-morrow. Several Of the delegates from Georgia to the New York Convention are bere. They represent the con- duct of the military authorities in that State as in- tolerable to the last degree. In the case of hunting up evidence concerning the assassination of Ashburn several other persons, both white and black, have been arrested, one of them being a white woman. All of them are held as witnesses and confined in nar- row cells at Fort Pulaski. The military authorities have offered a reward of $2,000 for the arrest and conviction of the ringleader of the attack on Ash- burn and $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of each of the other parties concerned: The preliminary in- vestigations, itis said, tmplicate upwards of forty persons in the murder, which makes the amount of the reward a rather respectable sum to incite the detectives engaged in ferreting out 'the evidence to an energetic discharge of their duties, As the mur- der was committed ina low negro brothel a large number of negroes are supposed to have witnessed it, and the detectives have, therefore, arrested many negroes, and, having full liberty to use every means in their power to extract the truth, have been prac- tising upon them the greatest severities to force them, as they say, to tell the truth. These gentlemen state that one of the methods recently employed on the reticent colored witnesses was confinement in the sweat box, an instrument of torture so contrived as to exert @ constant pressure upon the chest by the working ofa screw. The sides of this box are gradually pressed against the lungs until there is no longer room for the least expansion; then the victim is placed in a room heated .with steam or hot air, where the oppression upog the lungs is so great that the exertion to breathe amounts to indescribable agony. These methods, the delegates think, are well calculated to earn the forty thousand dollars, if they do not elicit the truth. Probable Early Confirmation of Mr. Sythe as Minister to Austria. It is understood from reliable authority that Henry A. Smythe, of New York, recently nominated by the President as Minister to Vienna, will be confirmed. Mr. Smythe’s high oficial character has won for him many warm friends in the Senate—a sufficient num- ber, it is ascertained, to set aside any doubts. The Alleged Frauds in Settling Colored : Bounties, The Congressional Committee, of which Mr. Lin- coln is chairman, proceeded to the Adjutant Gene- ral’s office and the Second Auditor's ofice yesterday, as was indicated in these despatches of Friday last, and began an investigation into the charges of fraud in the setttlement of colored bounties, Sumicient evidence was obtained to warrant the continuance of the examination, and all the rooms containing the records in which the proof of the alleged frauds is to be found have been locked, placed in charge of men who are instructed to permit no unauthorized person | to enter them, and the further transaction of busi- ness interdicted until the investigation is closed. The chairman of the committee will be absent from the city for a few days, but the investigation will be’ continued by M ‘3. Holman and Cobb, of the com- mittee, assisted by Register Jeffsies and Mr. 8. V. Reeve, of the Treasury, and Colonel Scott, of the War Department.
