Grand Gathering of Military Chicttans— Speeches and Music—Elevtion of OMvers. Boston, May 12, 1571. Althongh ali of our armies fought bravely during the rebeilion, and to each is due the thanks of the country which they saved from anarcby and ruin, yet the Army of tne Potomac stands ont more pronti- uently before the pubitc eye than any of its colabor- ing associations, Various canses combine to pru- ‘duce this result, its location and the sphere of its movements was so much nearer tho Northern States for one reason; the members were 3 generally among the first and best of recruits who sprang to arms; the nature of its duties Was 60 much more arduous, and for a time impracticable; and, to crown all, the bravest and noblest of all tho nation’s defenders successively held commanding position in its ranks. The capture of Richmond was tora time the objective pot in, the minds of the people, and the meu who-were trying to accomplish this end loomed up more prowlotly, perhaps, than those of any other command tn the field. fence it is that the surviving members of the Army-of the Potomac have formed themselves into a society, Jor the double p urpose of perpetaating the mem- ortes Of the pastand of strengthening their reso. futions to be always ready to preserve inviolate the institutions for which they were ready to sed their blood. “thé third aniiual reunion of the society took | place if this chy to-day, and a glorious as- | semblage it was, too, The Globe theatre, in which the Hterary exercises of the transaction of the formal business of the gatiering took place, was magnificent! orated, ‘Te balconies were | ‘Sdiapletely hidden: in thé profiston of Fed, White and blue, and there were medallions, crossed swords und sirediiers, penhutits, hanners, &c., emblémat,, Of the nature of the convocation, (op tithe gi4g Gr | the stigé, “On tho Péb48iifim bores, was displayed the vadge of the Abdctation, and | ‘the orchestra was strewn with “flowers, The arrangement of the strz. {3 ‘worthy of especial commendation. 1, was “sovy for a forest goer, diaplayed 2 «a6 entire deptty“and in the tore- qfoinid ahd “aveines tne wings Were deld pieces, stacks of Guns, gutdous aud other military para apbernalia, reyireventing almyst every appearance of an Encampment m the woods.

ADDRESS OP OENERAL MFADE. After the usual mterchange of congratulations, rae General Meade, as President of the society, called the body to order shorty after eleven o'clock, ‘They had met for tue third time, uo said, to renew those associations formed on tie butie held, at tne orvouac and the camp fire, to inyuire tuto each other's condition and to express their deep sympathy for those who have suiered from the casuaities ol war, to ask for the widow and orphans to give them succor.

It cannot be repeated too often nor‘awelt upon too long.

There then followed a few wore strains from Gil- more’s Band, when General Meado stepped forward and announced that in one feature of their literary exercises they had becn disappoinied, It y understood, he said, that, F. Bret, Harte would read them a poem, but on account of illness in his faumily bis presence had been impossi- ‘ble. The poem had béen prepared, however, and ne «l the pleasure of introducing as its reader Mr. s T.

Politicians Endeavoring to Se- cure Amendments, WASHINGTON, May 12, 1871, Executive Session of the Senate—A Breeze Over tho Premature Publication of the ‘Treaty. The executive session of the Senate to-day was rather brief, occupying less than two hours, Gen. eral Cameron was anxious to have an afljournment until to-morrow, 80 as to allow the Committee on Foreign Relations farther time to deliberate upon the treaty, ig was thought best, however, that the Seaate should adjourn gy¢r patil Monday, and this was finally agreed to, fhe motiod fg Femove the injunction of secrecy from the treaty was brought up, when a discussion ensued upon tts premature pubilcation, and {t Mnally resulted In the appoint- Ment o1 a special committee to mvestigate the mat- ter, The resolution to admit the offictal reporter of tho Senate to report the deliate upou the treaty in confidence was discussed, but without coming to any conclusion the Beuate edjogrned, * Proposed Amendmeuts to the Treaty.

Politicians Uissatisfied with the ireaty—Cana- dian Monopoly of the Lake ‘Trade, There has been considerable conversation In po- | litical circles here to-liay about the treaty, Tue guarded manner in which England expresses her regret for the escape of the Alabama and other Anglo-Confederate vessels, and for the depredations committe’ by them, is not generally considered a frank apology in the premises. ‘There scems to be & growing sentiment in favor of exciuding the sec- tion providing for the settlenient of the British claims against the United States, Reference waaalso made, in "wonversation, to the thirtieth article, which enables Canadian veasela to carry goods be- tween any American port ou Lake Ontario and American ports on the Upper Lakes. {1s satd this article was mserjed apparently for the purpose of giving the American trade to the line of steamers between Ogcensburg and Chicago, now owned by a British firm in Montreal, These vessels go through the Welland Canal and thus meet the requirement of the article chat a part of the transportation shall be through the Dominion of Canada. It ts held that this is, in fact, giving up the coasting trade between “the Upper and Lower Lakes to Canadian vessels, The Canadians have managed to get controt of the steamer Transportation, on Lake Ontario, and thero ia not at present an American steamer on that lake. The line of propellers between Ogdensburg and Chicago, now owned by the Montreal firm, was pur- Chased last year from the American owners at Og- densbure. SOUTH CARULINA. Closing Session of the Taxpay- ers’ Convention. A Plan of Reform Agreed Upon for Submis- sion to the Legislature, Co.umsra, 8, C., May 12, 1871. ‘The Taxpayers’ Convention met this morning at @even o'clock, Governor Porter tn the chair. General Chesnut, of the Executive Committee, re- ported that the taxpayers deem it theit duty to de- Clare that the sterling loan, and other obligations hereafter igsneq, are not held aa binding, and they recommend the people to resist the payment or en- forcement of any tax to pay the same by ali legits- mate means. It was resolved that a committee of five be ap- pointed to coner with the representatives of tho Frre Loan Securities, with a view to anearly liqui- dation of these obligations, and to repair the damage to the good falth and honor of the State resulting from their repudiation by present State Buthorities, Mr, Aldrich, of the same committee, moved to add the name of General Chesnut to Porter and Connor in the Blue Ridge Railroad proceedings. " Mr. Trescots moved that these gentlémen be in- structed to report at once, In supportiug the amendment, Mr. Irescott said that if the aetion of yesterday, on the subject of the Blue Ridge, meant anything, it meant that this body, with legal exis tence, praposed to take into its charge the public and private interests of the State. This was a step full of anger. The corporation referred to was an en- terprise connected for nearly a half a century witlr the Interesta of the State, -yes the passage “of the resolution would do more to destroy those interests than any event which could occur. ‘The Convention had simply assumed that that tegis- lauop was invalid, and to that extent discredited the bonds of the roads, because they would be put upon the market with “approval of the tax- payers’ written across them. It practl- cally says to the world, “You take the bonds with the risk of a lawsuit.” Speculators will necessartiy buy at a depreciated value, and the pene will eventualiy have to redeem them at par. » Prescott reviewed the history of the legislation connected with the Blue Ridge and Greenville toads, saying that, whatever discredit attaches to the Greenville, It must answer for itself, The skirts of the Blue Ridge were clear. ‘The mortgage given w the State defore the issue of the bonds was, in his opinien, indnitely better security than a statutory tie, wWaich only appiled to the tuirty-two miles in the State. The mortgage was a prior lien without legwiation. He argued that the action of the Legis- lature would be sustained by law, and under the circumstances It would be unjust for the Convention to adopt the resolation without amendment, Mr. Tf. F. Warley, of Dartington, replied, and so- yerely disclaimed being an opponent or patd par- tisan of any corporation, Gentlemen assumed that tius body ‘was not to meddle with private con- cerns, but when private individuals connect themselves with stupentdus public frauds it was the duty of the convention to ex. pose them. Corruption would not exist were ft not for corruptors—were none engaged 10 bribery the Legisiature would not have occasion to complain so mich at present. It was an unhappy circumstance that private mdividuals in the Stace had been instrumental in obtaining public. plander, He said he would not discuss the object of the Jegisiation, but did propose boldly to condemn the iraud by which the ovject was effected, Men Who tnducéd fraud were not to be trusted with pub. lie funds, and ihe spirit of justice would denounce any man Who, like the President of the Blue Ridge road deciared, in the presence of the committee, that he had cowe (o Columbia with half a milion of dollars to corrupt the Legislature and Staté.

Van Winkle, Ed- ward Mitchell and Henry Nichol, the delegation from the New York, Bar Association, appeared be- fore Governor Hoffman this aiternoon to present reasons why the bill which contains certain pro- posed amendments to the code should not become a | law. Mr. Evarta, in reviewing the proposed amend- | ments, took the strong ground tbat cer- tain sections were unconstitutional, Any act which proposes to take from the Subreme Court certain causes and remand them to other courts Is contrary to the fundamental law.

Of section eleven, rrlative to the appolntment of referees, be says the present cons'itution provides that no jadge Or judicial oficer in New York, Brovuklyn or Buffalo {shail act as tefefes in any case in their own court, It was suggested ta provide that. this provision should apply to the whole State, But it was agreed that in the country, where country judges, for instance, had much spare thne and smail pay, that they might act as referees; therefore, the provision was not made general. But he had shown that the section was anconstitue tional, and no bill that was not constitutional should be signed by the Governor. Another section gave an extended patronage to Coutts Ja the way of receiverships. jt was injurious to litigants and Wasa great exposure of property.
