Houses of Aksambly [ knows that the Raifrond Committee—and eapecially man (whom It lagds) has gone bome with its bauds and pocketa fall of * unclean drivpla, s —We promptly assured The Times that it was mis- taken—that we had no such knowledge as it im- puted. Bat The Times's grave impeachment im- plied, very clearly, that the kuowledge wrongly at tributed to us was in the possession of The Times. And we called on that journal to place the requisite information in the hands of the proper authorities, in order to have the guilty indicted, arraigned, tricd and punished. The Times bas as yet made no response; but we trust it will not persist in this silence. It has charged men trusted and honored by the People with the most odious, pernicious, abhorrent criminality. If they have indeed ** gone Lome with hands and pockets full of ‘unclean drippings,’” they ought ere this to have been on their way to some State Prisc Aud if The Times editor knows what his charge clearly implies, his duty as a law-upholding citizen is clear and im- perative. The members of our late Assembly thus impeached by The Times, we find to be as follows: Mr. J. L. Parker, Cayuga Co., Chairman, Messrs. Jewett, Erie; Andrus, Mouroe; Deming, Tioga; Stephan. Ulster; Weed, Clinton; Child, Riehmond. —We know very little of these gentlemen; but what we do know of two or three of them convinces us that thay cannot have committed the crimes laid to their charge by The Times. Possibly, those we know may not be involved in its blasting imputation. Will The Times say just whom it intended to charge with flagrant corrnption, and what steps it has taken, or is about to take, to bring the guilty to justice? —_— BLUNT AND BOUNTY. Auxious inquiries are daily addressed to us in rela- tion to the money to be returned to those who pro- vided substitutes under the call of August, 1364, concerning which we published some facts on Satur- day last. Our advice, in that article, to apply to Mr. Orison Blunt, has been diligently followed by a number of persons, but with different results. Some of them have been received after the young Barnacle manner, as the men “who want to know you know,"g and bave gone away again only so much wiser than they came that they have found it to be a waste of time to cool their heels in Mr. Blunt's office. Others have Lad better luck, or have better known how to do it, and have come away comfortably huttoniug up their pockets over the full sam of $400 return money. Why this difference we can no more tell the disappointed ones than they can tell us. We only know the facts from representatives of both parties. These are quite satisfied that Mr. Blunt has received the money, for thoy have drawn their share of it out of him; those are still anxious and dubious, for they meet at the hands of Mr. Blunt's officials nothing but rebuff and denial. For onr part, we can only repeat and enforee our counsel of Saturday—stick to Blunt. 'We know that about $200,000 was paid to Lim more than a month ago. Tho offers for claims are still active, and on every one bought ata dis- count, somebody, of course, makes a handsome per- centage. **It is naught, it is naught, saith the buye but when be is gone his way, then he boasteth,” His way is to Mr. Blunt's office, and then the boasts come in. The obvious commentary upon tho text is, don't sell, and stick to Blunt and his young Barnacles. —_——— The Johnson Conservatives of Kentucky—that is, the old Whig party, substantially—have called & Constitutional Union Convention, to meet at Louis- ville on the 30th inst. They are a very respectable glimpses as though seen through a glass darkly. The Jast story is from The Rochester Democrat, and it is of | oneof A. B. Sloanaker, recently appointed to a revenue | collectorship in Philadelphia, in place of Col. John | I1. Taggart, a Republican,’we are told, certainly a gal- lant, reputable soldier. Among other things, Sloan- aker imagined that the President had a weakness for wax flowers, and arranged a case, which was duly announced as a wax-fruit presentation to the Presi- dent, on the part of fiftcen children of a Philadelphia grammar-school, kindly presented in theirbehalf ** on Saturday, March 31, 1566, by A. B. Sloanaker, esq.” chased it, arranged the testimonial, presented it, and Dad the event duly heralded in all the newspapers, shortly followed by Col. Taggart’s dismissal, and his own appointment to an office worth at least 10,000 A year, | As we dou't know Mr. Sloanaker, never heard of | hit, never knew of his being valiant in war, nor sage } in conncil, nor having any claim on the party or the President, we are bonnd to presume that the wax-fruit | did the business. One moral of the story is that our | politicians should be well supplied with wax-work be- fore getting ready for office. The reader may draw as | many more morals as he pleases. e THE NEW SENATOR. The Hon. Ogris 8. Ferey, who has just been selected by the Republican-Unionists of Connecticut for a U. 8. Senator for six years from the 4th of next March, is a citizen of Fairficld County—a Whig in other years, but a zealons and advaneed Republican | since there was & Republican party. He has been | thrice its candidate for Cong in the District com- | of Fairfield and Litchfield Counties, with these | results: | Republican. Democrat. | 1857, Ferry . 8357 W. D. Bishop...... 8408 | Forry . . D. Bishop..... 10,966 1861, Ferry G. C. Woodruff . —Thus his average vote at the three electio much Ligher than that cast for his competitors; he was suceessful but once; being beaten in '57 by 16 | votes, and in '61 by 71; while he was chosen in 50 by o WS Mr. Ferty is an able, earnest and effective champion of the principles sustained by Connecticut in her late election, and will prove an admirable Seuator. —_— AMERICAN INFLUENCE AEROAD. Those who carefully read the great debate in the | House of Commors on the question of Reform (which | we agree with The London Times in considering or of the most remarkable debates in the bistory of Par- nut), will be impressed by the influence which Ameriea exercises upon the European mind. It isnot long since we saw the Emperor of the French, point- | ing with pride to France as in some way imitating the | United States. The resemblance was not obvious; | but the temper of the Emperor was a great compli- | ment. When the Liberals in England wished to em- phasize their demand for an extended franchise and the ballot, they referred to the happiness, the free- dom, the vital power of America, especially as she | appeared after the war, When the Tories desired to show the miseries that would come from the exten- | sion of the franchise, they found comfort in the de- | moralization oceasionally seen iu cities, the conflic between the executive and the legislative powers of the Government, the want of respect manifested to judges. Mr. Lowe especially—who, being an_editor, should know better—made Awerica the burden of his | specch against Reform. According to Mr. Lowe, we i are only happy bere because we have—to use his own elegaut plirase—** plenty of elbow-room and subsist- | enc When the country gets more densely popu- | lated, we shall have a crash. Asitis Mr. Lowg sees good institutions become the seeds of fuction—'*how | Senators have been expelled and other violent and | revolutionary proceedings.” Mr. Lowe, if he had only Dbeen a fair man, would have seen in the expulsion of Senators (meaning Stockton) an et uo more violent and revolutionary than the expulsion of seven Liber- als from the Commons during the week in which be | made Lis speech. The seven Liberal: were illegally elected, and so was Mr. Stockton. American influence in Europe molded the recent | debate, and extends into all classes of society. In | other days, America was discussed by the English press protty much as we discuss the Republics of | South America or the countries on the African coast. | The journalists did not knuow whether Annapolis was | an island or an archipelago. They sometimes placed Massachusetts in the State of Philadelphia, and borri- fied Boston by making it the capital of Maine. Their notions of social life in America were gathered from the books of Mr. Dickens and Mrs. Trollope, and from personal experier.ces among the emigrant ships. They imacined that everyhody read The New-York Herald, | and that children were weaned on Virginia tobacco. | Our Presidents were selected on nocount of persoual | prowess in the prize-ring, and nobody but Mr. Emer- | | son and Mr. Everctt could coustrue six lines of Horace. There was a general impression that public morals had fallen so low that a great statesman, who | afterward became a lexicographer, was hanged for marder. Public life was very unsafe in our country places, and our colleges were tainted with atheism. Henry Ward Beechier was known to attend chicken- fights; and it was ramored that he was prepariug to | challenge Mr. Heenan on his return from England. Those of us vho were not positively debased, were awaiting with anxiety an opportunity to welcome the English scepter back to America; but it was gen- erally felt that no such royal mercy should be shown | until we had doue abundant penance. Who read an American book ! Who bought an American picture ? Who owned an American stock or bond ! ‘Time, the tumult of amighty war, the sublime Eu- glish virtue of success, the triumph of our armies pros- perity uuder an extraordingry debt, have given the American name and character an importance abroad which a century of peace would not have gained. | When the blockade was established, Lancashire moaned in paverty, and the Exchange trembled. | Securities rose and fell with the victory or defeat of ' Grant's armies. The American maps were studied with intense and selfish interest, and true Englishmen | felt an impulse of pride when they saw men of their 1 own blood, with the same Saxon blue eyes, doing deeds more marvelous than those of Wellington and Marlborough, The aristoeratic element, rich, fashionable, and noisy, was attracted to the South from the affinity of Slavery and caste; but the great | heart of England was iu union with America. How i carnestly the governing classes wished our overthrow may be judged from the haste of Lord Russell to speak of the “*late Union," and the enthusiasm of | Mr. Gladstone (in one-of his ** pilgrimages of pas- | sion” as Disraeli called them) over Jefferson Davis and the empire he had founded. When a Russell and i a Gladstone despaired of Awerica, what could be ex- | pected from a Stauley and & Roebuck—from the Tories, whose creed is to inearnate all that is old and mossy, | and destroy all that is fresh and life-giving—from every enemy of progress and trath? The governing classes wished our failure, because success here meant Jagitation at home, discontent, perhaps revolt, a gene- al commotion among thrones, palaces, rubies, coro- nets, and all sorts of ribbons and stars and garters and parchments, chaos come again, a new spirit moving upon the face of the waters, and a new world coming into being. If America had failed, its failure wolld have hogn an example aud & warning, teaching us to | tbat a disturbance, originally trifling, was made the | great New. | years of age, named Rachel H . strong array of names; bat | beware of republicanisms and experiments with | anarchy—even anarchy with a constable, according to Mr. Carlyle. Now that manhood in America has done 30 nobly, manhood in England demands opportanity. Man- hood pays taxes, and gathers material wealth, and | orgaizes volunteer forces, and makes the English flag | the glory and terror of civilization. Why should | mauhood toil and spin, while caste, the acoident of birth and station, should wear fine raiment? Why should manhood in Leeds be merely work and sweat, | and no voice in the English Commons, while 36 per- | sons in Calne, who happeu to be the dependents of an | English nobleman, should have the privilege of speak- | ing with the brilliaut malice of Mr. Lowe? The ten- dency of the English mind is upward. Mr. Mill might havedied in retirement; Mr, Gladstone might have sat in ashes outside of Oxford; Mr. Hughes might bave remained in genial seclusion; the voice of Mr. Bright would be silent in St. Stephens but for the mauhood, | the toiling manhood of Westminster and Lancashire, Lambeth and Rochdale. The England that creates these statesmen is the England which sympathized with our country, and which best represents the true Englishman of to-day. THE MEMPHIS RIOTS. There is no longer any question as to the character of what was at first called the negro riots at Memphis. | They were negeo riots in the same sense in which the | utbreak in July, 1363, in New-York, was a negro | riot—that is, the negroes were the victims of both. | Just what disturbance occasioned the conflict in | Memphis will not probably be known, nor is it of | much consequence. But it is plain from all accounts | pretext for a general assault upon the negro popula- | tion of the city, which was continued for two days | & and nights. In this assault, the police, the firemen, | the city authorities and the unorganized mob acted in concert, and were animated with the single purpose to do the greatest amount of damage to the negro population and to theie dwellings and churches and schiool-hou The atro: o< of the mob were not unworthy of its Aps, the Most of most savage yet the negroes who were shot were bHut second day, when there was no longer an and when the negroes were seeking safi ment and flight, We select a fw 3p pleasantries in which the mob indulged: + Robert Jones (colored) had Just come in from the cosutrs, and was standiog on (ho corner of Beal and Causey-ats., in the forenoon. A wman, appearing to be a poliveman, took his | istol and #29 in i and as he turned to leave, thrust & nife into bis back. under shoulder-blade. Another, standioe by, known to ba a poli robbe —Which shows that the police, unlike our police ia | were on the side of the mob. | + A nagro was shot in the knee near the corner of Howard's Row and the levee, This was done by 8 well knows indiviaual in conceal- imens of the | | for the sake of amusement, and was laughed at by the citizens | |5 who saw it —The indivilualis so well-known that the paper’ | from which we quote does not think it worth while, | or does not dare, to give his name. But these in- stances are nothing to the elaborate ingenuity of other cruelties. « A large pumber of houses in South Memphis, occupled b the blacks, and some in other parts of the city, were burs No effort was made to stay the lames. In one case, fous ue groes were fastened up in & Louse and the Louse set on fire. | A colored man on Alabama-st. informs us that his house broken iuto and about two hundred dollats in money | t . and he beaten over the bead; and the same party hroke into bis neighbor’s bonse, killed him, locked the wifs aad chil- dren in the house, set it on fire and burned it dowa.” —That is almost as good as burning a Coloved Or- phan Asylum. * A house near Mr. Rankin's school-house, which was burnt | on Tuesday, was fired dul(nf- the pight. A colored girl, 17 tobell, who bad been a_ scholar of Mr Raukin s, was sick in this Louse, and on running out was knocked down. shot, and thrown into the fire. Her hody lay in the ashes yesterday motning, burnt to a crisp. except- | ing her head and shoulders. Some oae Lad kiadly tirows a | shawl over this borrid spectacle.” | The reign of terror was complete throughout the | city, and the violence or th: of the moh extended | beyond the negroes and reached to all who were their | friends: * Loud and repeated threats wore made by the rioters that | whon they had destroyed the colored school-houses they wonid Kill the teachers, The threats were so violent, and the riote themselves capable of any brutality, it wi deemed prudent that they should go North. Thes all lett for Cairo on the St Loufs packes Many of the officers on duty | lere sent their wives away with these ladies.” What destruction was actually wrought on the | property of the negroes themselves is thus summed up: | “The riot was kept up all Wednesday vigat. Crowds of armed citizens were gathered at tbo corners, Many were half drunk, The great feat of m%lu was the burning of | the colored scbool-bouses, churches and Lowmes. They stem to | bave acted in concert, and to bavs carried out & programme | which hiad been_previously arrauged. This is shown by the clean sweep which was made of every buildin colored-sehool or place of worship by the colore tost strongly by the conduct of the rioters ou the the Collins Chapel. ‘This colored cuurch stands o Wasking: 2 and cost §3,000." | The extracts we bave given are from The Mewphis {‘ Post, o paper which the Copperheads may discredit be- | canse it is loyal. They are abundautly confirmed by the admissions and apologies of the Rebel sheets, The Bulletin 2ays: | “The k.x‘mnl{ in regard toall these particalars if most | conflieting, but all agree on one thing, that those who en aged i the riot were persons of 1 stble character. and it will | he unfair to chacge these nntoward distarbances to the good, law -abiding citizens of toe city of Memphis.” —Which is equivalent to saging, We have no de- fense to offer for the mob except that we did not be- long to it. The Avalanche far more explicitly de- | clares: “The rioter who elrimed to belong to the 154k’ sought to | ahield bimseit from thé culpabilty bohiad the falr name of aa Bonorable body of men; nod had he been a member, Lo wuuld bave esteemed its fame too bighly to coufoss conusction with a | wob guilty of 50 MADY CXCeRses. | "' bave heard many ex-soldiars of the South declars that | they would prefer a wilitary admiolstration of municipal au- thority to that which disgraces the city and State, an having shown peovis. bat urning of by T apacity, grom MAmARAROmERs, and. projudices of its | ugents, has brought apon Mewmplis lasting ovils. @ true | Temeds for all misfortanes. ow coutemplatod, consists in tho | reformation of the eity charter. !

Muasicn ACADEMY OF MUSIC—ITALIAN OPBRA. “ Faust,” as given by this Italian Opera Company, is not very altractive, #0 a mall sudionce wituossod its per- formanee last evening. That once popular opers 0o longor fasc.ostes the general pubilic, and its fading intorest could not be revived hy the un- even treatment it received from Mr. Grau’s company. | Bright spots were pereeived in she pervading foebienoss of | color, aud flasbes of brilliant execation from usually weak aud dull voices oecasionally enlivened a scene. The orchiestra and chorus sympatbized with this uneven | styleof performance throughout, giving some portions very | badly, others moderately well, snd some considerabie part ex- coedingly well. It was very singular that such glaring ine. | qualities should appear in the same opers, acd the fact can only be accouuted for by the supposition that extremely burried rehearsal prevented thorough acquaintance with the work in | hand. Mile, Boschetti materially advanced Ler position | among dramatic siugers by her treatmeut of Marguerita's music, although ber voice bas few ploasant notes and she has very little execntive ability. Her command of public favor and critical approval in that rols is derived from the soul and depth of feeling, combined with remarkable dramatio aptitude | in delineating the phases of Marguerita's cLarscter, that sho displays. There is no exaggeration in her coloriag or attempt 0 substitute mere sensational tricks for real passion and ex- pressive singing. As Marguerita, she Impresses the intelli- gent public most favorably, and when compared with her Violotta a wonderful difference in her favor is at ouce per- coived. Mume. Polini has little to do as Siebel, bt that little ste did | well. - Anastasi really showed a pretty and tunable tenor volce ia Faust's duet with Moarguerits and in the duel scens. His | “Salye dinora” would bave been more acceptable if he had | foroed his volce less, and so avoided botraying its defeots when | delivered with any approach to power, Ho sang with goneral regurd to pure intonation last evening, showing in that im- portant poiut & marked improvement over bis debut when he sworved constantly from the pitob, and not infrequently savg false in both ways.

There is material in that basso for a gravd dramatio siuger, which only needs cultivation to polish into a first class artish liis evening Pacini's ouly good opera—Saflo—will be pro- duced by Mr. Grau's company, with Mme. Gazzanige a4 the love-lorn Saffo, Musiani as Phaone, Antonucel as Aleasdro, and Mme, Polini as Clemene, a part in which she will have good opportanity. G. W. MORGAN'S ANNUAL CONCERT. The annual concert of this justly distinguished organist takes place at Irving Hall to-morrow (Saturday) evening. Hisassistance in that concert will be excellent, in- cluding the now celebrated contralto Miss Sterling, and suole a programme as be offers, combined with his own claims upon public favor, almost insure a @ratifying response from thas public by whom bo is so well known and thoroughly sppreel- ated. 3 e — MEETING OF THE AMBER OF COM- MERCE Mot Their Action in Beference to the Proposed Government Tax on Cotton, and Reavens Therefor, A special meoting of the New-York Chamber of Commerce was held at their Rooms yesterday alternoon to Lear and take action upon the report of a committes appointed at a previous meeting to consider the subject of the proposi- ou now befors Congress toimposoa tax of five cents pae pourd on all cotton hersafter produced fn this country.
