Consider- abie discussion ensued previously on a protest from citizens of South Carolina charging that Mr. Sawyer was a blockade runner and had held office under the Confederacy, The protest was accompanied by affi- davits. The question of adjournment came up, and after a long discussion a concurrent resolution was adopted to take a recess on Monday until the fourth Monday in September, when, unless otherwise or- dered, the regular adjournment shall take place until the first Monday in December. In the House Mr. Kellogg, of Alabama, was admit- 14,4. the Judiciary Committee to investigate the charges against Judge Busteed. Mr. Stevens made a personal explanation relative to his remarks on the Five- twenty bill, denying that he had ever said such bouds were payable in gold. The Speaker stated, in answer to the inquiries of members, that the President had sent the usual notification of having signed the special whiskey and tobacco tax bill; but it was stated by a member that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue had been tn- formed differently. that a mistake had occurred and that the bill had not been signed. The business on the Speaker's table waa then disposed of, including numerous Senate bilis aud amendments, MISCELLANEOUS. Our Mexico clty letter is dated July 10.

What further interest has Mr. Johnson in the New York democracy ? Can any one tell? We see, indeed, that his con- tempt for these party nominating conventions, since these unexpected proceedings at Tam- many Hall, ia such that he proposes to amend the federal constitution in order to head off these assemblages of juggling politicians here- after, and to give the people a chance in be- half of their favorites. To sum up the whole case, Mr. Johason, with heavier odds against him, has played the rile for another term of Tyler and Fillmore, and, like them, he has failed in it. The best that he can now do is to imitate the sound philoso- phy of Tyler in the resolution to take the world easy and the cares of State, to let the politicians help themselves, and to devote his leisure hours to some useful instructions on allsuch ungrateful deceivers and jugglers as those of Tammany Hall for the benefit of the rising generation. and St. Domingo are convulsed by revolu- tions which are really sanguinary, fatal to human life and destructive to every interest, industrial and commercial, home and foreiga, in the territory.

Judge Cardozo reserved decision. Our av Last.—Old Thad Stevens’ savage outburst at the ‘“‘bloated speculators” who want the bonds paid in gold astonished Greeley 80 much at first as to completely shut him up. Greeley has at length found words for Stevens, however, and here they are:—‘‘No swindler that the world has known ever perpetrated a fraud so gigantic as that he meditates.” As a republican opinion of the honesty of a republi- can leader this will do. People might thiak an outside opinion not reliable. We hope they will find the above instructive, and reflect whether they want to be governed by 4 party whose policy has been mainly shaped by such a man, Congress and the Reconstructed States. The Southern Representatives who have just been sworn in are not at all confident of their future, and feel that the edifice of recon- struction is a mere house of cards, which the President may kick over in any freak of ill hu- mor. Therefore they desire that Congress should not adjourn, but only take a recess, that it may at any moment come to the defence of the structure. Perhaps their apprehensions of trouble are not mere bugbears. Here are all these States, for instance, erecting civil governments and sending members to Con- gress, nine-tenths of the members being, un- fortunately, Northern squatters, who went down at short periods before the election. This reconstruction is, therefore, somewhat super- ficial—takes no deep hold upon the life of the people, and these refuse, with more or less in- tensity, to recognize it. So far it has been kept in place by the military; but now, in order to be consistent with the fiction that covers this reconstruction, the military is with- drawn and the civil governments are left to the power that is supposed to have made then— that is, the people. Suppose there should bea sudden demonstration of the hostility of the people, and the bran new governments should be sent flying in the persons of all the men who made them, and suppose Andrew John- son, acting on his idea that these new govern- ments are not real, have no true authority and are mere usurpations, should regard that as all right. From the Congressional point of view there would be a new rebellion, and there would be no power to suppress it, for the President, whose duty it is to call out the mili- tia or assemble Congress in emergencies, would do neither. Here would be a most astonishing result of the three years’ labor at reconstruction; but this seems to be the gloomy view that the carpet-bag members take of their future. Congress seems to perceive the possibility of this result, and so will likely only take a recess and not adjourn, that it may be ready, if necessary, to declare the States once more in insurrection.

THE AMERICAN FREE TRADE LEAGUE, Address and Discussl Taxation and Kev Reform. ‘The American Free Trade League held its regular monthly meeting last evening at Dodworth Studio Building, Fifth avenue and Tweaty-aixth street. About fifty persons were present, DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, President of the League, oc- cupied the chair, and in a few appropriate remarks, in which he in passing alluded to the rather small attendance and attributed it to the warm weather and the absence of so many persons from the city tn consequence thereof, introduced Mr. CHARLES Moray, who had been announced to address the meeting on the subject of taxation, ‘This gentleman then proceeded to a brief discussion of the principles of commerce, labor, production and taxation, and argued that the Custom House duties were the most oppressive, injurious and unjust of all the taxes levied upon the indus‘ries of a people, embarrassing, as they do, the exporting of the surplus home products and offering serious impediments to the importation of products of the foreign conntries, The license tax was also monstrously unjust, as its practical and inevitable effect was to levy upon the producer and dealer a duty upon personal thrift and cee. which should be allowed to expand their tendencies withont any obstacle being inter- posed to their developm and ought rather to be encanraged and fostered.

The tneome tax was exceedingly jonable, both on account of its inquisitorial sharacter and becanse it was an attempt to tax pro- duction and economy, the great benefactors of humanity. Aslevied in England and American it was also objectionable by reason of the fact that it wad unjust and unequal, imposing the same burden on temporary incomes derived from individual talents and exertions as on permanent incomes de- rived from permanent investments.

The Fourteenth Amendment. ‘Mr. Seward issued his declaration in regard to the constitutional amendment with a con- tingency—it was adopted if the votes of New Jersey and Okio held good. As he had pre- viously argued that they were good his contin- gency was a very small loophole. Congress has formally closed the case by declaring the fourteenth amendment positively part of the constitution, and this deprives it of all binding force; for all know that the constitution is of no account whatever, and nothing can be more worthless, apparently, than a thing that has become part of that instrument. Congress did not count the vote of Georgia, for it had re- ceived no official information that Georgia had come in; but it did count the votes of Ohio and New Jersey. In this it was right. The reason is simple—Legislatures have nominally no authority in regard to constitutions, and cannot act on these unless directly empowered by the people. When a constitutional ques- tion is before the people of a State the Legisla- ture is chosen with regard to it, and thus re- ceives powers above those of an ordinary Legis- lature. This was the case in the States adopting the amendment, and the Legislatures that ratified it had this power. But when a State had acted it was done with that point, and made up his mind whether to take a hand in | the Legislatures were once more chosen on this Presidential conflict or to stand aloof a | jocal issnes only, and such a Legislatnre cannot neutral spectator, like the Tennessee hunter in | withdraw a ratification made by special author- the man who had done Party conventions, however, like republics, The recent proceedings in The shock, how- He will trifle no longer with pre- left.

General Jose Tadeo Monagas was acknowledged as Presi- dent after having taken the city of Caracas, which was assaulted and carried by storm by his troops. The fighting was very severe, the altar of the cathedral being used as a barricade against the advance of the Monagas soldiery by his enemies, Several hundred men were killed on both sides and Mona had com- missioned an agent to purchase war material abroad so that he may be prepared to slay many more should a reaction, which is not improbable, be conducted against his rale.

According to our correspon- dent in the premises Mr. Johnson replied :— “Colonel Van Buren, some time ago Governor Seymour declared that the very best thing that could happen for the country would be the removal of the President by Congress.

There was oo enthusiast on the opposite side; there was every enthusiasm on the democratic side, They stood battling for the liberties of their country and the restoration of the landmarks that hac been blotted out by feaatical radicalism, Alexander M. Johnson, of Mercer, temporary secretary of the Convention, Judge NAAR submitted the following proposition in a series of resolutions from the Executive Com. mittee to the effect that in future the Democratic Central Committee be composed of seven members, two to be appointed by the President of the Conven- tion and one from each Congressional district; that waa elacted the term of service of such cominittee shail be three | ears; that all fature conventions shall be composed of one delegate for every two hundred constituents and one for every fraction over one hundred. The resolutions, on motion of the Chairman of the Execu- tive Committee, were laid on the table. Committees of one from each county were elected on permanent organization, rules and credentials, and at one o’ciock the Convention took a recess for an hour, On reassembling a permanent organiza- tion was effected by the election of Garret 5. Cannon, of Burlington, aa President, and vice preaidents from poe county and secretaries from each Congressional district, Mr. CANNON, on being conducted to the chair, said he thanked the gentlemen of the Convention for the distinguished and unexpected honor conferred upoa him, They had come there with the full decermina- tion of making their candidate, whoever he might be, the Governor of their State.

(Cheers.) The resolutions submitted in the forenoon were taken from the table and their consideration elicited warm disputation, particuiarly the one concerning the reduction of the delegates to one for every two hundred voters. Mr, bett, in advocating the propriety of adopting this resolution, remarked that after the coming electton no building in Trenton would be capabie of accommodating the delegates according to the present ratio, so numerically strong will the democracy become, The clauses extending the service of the Executive Committee to three years and reducing the representation were stricken out and the remainder of the resolutions adopted. The nominations for Governor were then an nounced by counties, when the following gentlemen were presented:—Isaac P. Dickinson, salem; Amos Robbins, Middlesex; Nehemiah Perry, Newark; The- odore Runyon, Newark; Moses Bigelow, Newark; Theodore F. Randolph, Morris; Houry 8. Little, Mon: mouth, Mr. Dickinson begged leave to witudraw his name. He would not embarrass the expedition of the Convention by allowing his name to remain while abler men were submitted. He was prepared to give his support to the most worthy candidate, After the taking of the first ballot the candidates stood as follows:—Theodore F. Bento 195; Amos Robbins, 150; Nehemiah Perry, 1380; Theodore Ranyon, 106; Henry 8. Little, 69; Moses Bige- low, 19." At the commencement of the second ballot it was round that the sentiment of the Convention was gravitating towards Randolph, when by a unanimous move the entire delegates cast their votes in hia favor, and Randolph was unanimously de- clared the gubernatorial nominee amid cheering. ‘The Convention next proceeded to the el Senatoriai Electors, with the following reaul D.

When such an honor comes from the democracy of my na- tive State it is largely enhanced. The contest ts not to be between men, but between t wo great political parties represented by that noble statesman, Horatio Seymour (cheers), and General Grant. The issues of the contest, however, have dwindled down to two— reconstruction and finance. These two paramount issues should be kept before the people of our State: and if they be intelligently put before the people of New Jersey we may reasonably hope for victory."
