A resolution Jooking to the repeal of the tax'on State banks was rejected, 45 to 64. A resolution was mlomw an inquiry s to removing the taxes on anon:.l‘ The | of the accused. but we infer that it is, from the fact that Mr. Chase's | NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1866 adopted and consideradle ronting by at £ o'clock the House ad) ufflw tragsacted, and At the election of a new Chamber of Daputias, held o Italy in N ber, 1363, a portion of the Catholio party decmed it best to gccapt the union of Ita however adyerse it might be to the policy of the Papal active part in the election. They succeeded in elect- ing altogether about a dozen members, in & Chamber of 443. This conduct has been severely denounced by the Civiltd Catholica, the organ of the Jesuits at Rome, and one of the leading papers of the Ultramon- tane school. The editors of that paper maintain that “men of good principles" ought not to adhere to the Italian Government, and that they must chooss be- twoen the Pope and Liberalism, no conciliation being possible. This opinion has recently received an official indorsement from the Pope, who has addressed an autograph letter to the editors of the Civilta, approv- ing their views. He at the same timo constitutes the oditors of the paper a corporation or perpetual college, under the direction of the General of the Jesuits, The House has appointed & Committee of three mowbery to go to Memphis to investigate the riots in that city. They have power to soud for persons and papers, and aro directed to go to the bottom of the business, We presuma no persen now doubts that those riots began by an unprovoked assault on the blacks, and that there never was a moment “when hey had a chance for dofense. The facts that nota single white was injured by a nvegro, while sixty or seventy of the blacks wore killed, and every negro church and school-house in the city was burned, are evidence onough on that point. But we rejoice that the facts are to be put on record oficially, and we wish we dared hope the due punishmont was to follow. —_— Tlhe Cronica of this city publishes the address from Gen. T. C. de Mosquera, the now President of the United States of Colombia, to the peoplo of the Re. public. The President stroogly denounces the last insurrectionary movements and gives the assurances that ho will protect every citizen in the enjoyment of his rights. Before eailing from Europe, President Mosquers concluded a treaty of fiiendship and com- moree, and another relative to postal afairs with En- | gland. e also arrived at au agreement with the Papal Government concerning the administration of ecclosiastical affairs, whioh has long beena subject of disputo between the political and ecclesiastical an- thorities. According to this agreement, the Church will continue to be separated from the State. —— e cholera has reappeared iu England. One case Las occurred at Bristol, a soamau, who came from Rotterdam via London to Bristol, having been at- tacked while on the journey from London to Bristol. It also broke ount on béard the steamship Helvetin after sho had left Liverpool for America. The steam- ship, on acconnt of the disease, put back to Liverpool. As the persons affected in the lattor ¢ase were Ger- mans, an examination of all German emigrants be- fore their admission to England bas been ordered. Mr. Chauler of this City offered yesterday in the House a resolution applauding the President, and de- nouncing Congress as wicked, revolution. nant and mischievons. The Honse, by a vote of 20 to 82, refused to receive the resolation, and shortly after, by 72 to 29, passed a resolution of censure on Mr. Chanler. If the outrageouns abuse of which he was first guilty had not been sufficient to draw down on him thisrebuke, he would have richly deserved it by bis speech in defense of his resolution. It canbo nothing but magnaaimity or contempt which tolerates Chauler's continued prosonao in the House. We print in other columns the elaborate pleaof Mr. William 8. Morse in favor of what is termed equal- izivg Soldiers’ Bounties, and ask for it the earnest attention of all. Itis very long and very able; yet we do not see that it proves, 1. That the bounties paid by the States and subdivisions of States ought not to be considered and- estimated precisely as if they had been puid by the Usion; 2. That the bill in question, or any bill now before Congress, actually does or_will equalize bount However, we print Mr. Morse's statement in full, and desire that it should Lave all the weight to which it is fairdy on- titled.

He was an old-fashioned conservative Whig, and an able, bLonest man. yesterday submitted to the Senato s modification of bis plan of Reconstruction, to which we invite gen- eral attention. THE TRIAL OF DAVIN, Jefferson Davis is a State prisoner—the only man left in confinement (nnless ex-Senator Gwin be another) because of his share in the late Rebellion. We have always understood that it was the earnest desire of those who had a right to speak in his behall that he should be duly arraigned and tried at the earliest moment consistent with judicial fairuess and | such equity; and we have favored trial, not because they desired it, but becanse it seemed essentially Just and right, yet all the more zealously becanse his friends wished it. Weo have de- sired and hoped, moreover, that the Chief-Justice of the United States should preside at Lis trial; and we have understood that; also, to be wished by the friends We do not know that this is to be; objection to presiding, or even to bolding Court in in Virg sed on the continued waintenance of Martial Law in Virginia; and that, we understand, has vow been removed. Aud, as Davis bas been regularly indicted in Virginia, we trust that Lis trial is g0on to take place, and that it will be so conducted as to reflect honor on American jurisprudence and be productive of Jasting benefit to the country. To these ends, it seems to us imperative that the Press should treat the matter considerately, temperately, and with a carefal avoidance of partizan itterness or personal acrimony. For it is not merely Jefferson Davis who is to be tried on this oceasion, but the Awerican form of Goverument and the American People. The very gravest questions of coustitutional law are lkely to be raised, discussed, adjndicated. Let ua all take care that all shall be g0 done that no loyal American abroad shall be impelled to blush for his country. We see with regret that certain journals, which will be widely regarded as speaking in the intevest of the prisoner, are serving their own ends in eutire reckless- ness of consequences, and (it seems to us) iu & man- ner prejudicial to the interests of the accused. Tuke, for example, this utterance of The Daily News: “Ma, Davis Axp THE JUDICIARY CoMurtrer.—It is an earnest of the malignauoy that cbaracterizes the conduct of the charges agaiust Mr. Davis on the part of the Judiciary Commi that that bedy, to which were delegntod the reso.

The resson of this lain, Tue same blood- thirsty spirit that brought the hea the Lest and noblest of Fraace level with the dust, during the mob rule of the revola- tionary Directory, is now seekicg (o destroy Mr. Davis, at all ti te to bim & crime thoge who pretoud to bozards, if possibia, by att that be is fas less sble to ¢ judge him, *“The 1n at Mr, Davis for ‘treasen’ is the work of 1 Stayens would briug bim 10 the block, if tion charge; bot as adow of a decent this miserable protense has not ev compelled to take probability to support it, Lis en what comfort they can out of th fon of ‘treason.' However Lis trial may end, the infamy of the Judiciary Com- mittee will remain a part of the Listory of the times.” —The News is thoroughly aware that the charge of complicity in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln origina- ted neither with Mr, Stevens nor with the Judiciary Committee, but was made by the President of the United States, in a public, official document, which stands to this hour unrevoked and unrotracted, We sincerely trust and believe that it is founded in mis- apprebension. But, if it be true, it surely onght to be thoroughly investigated and made the basis of jn- dicial proceedings; while, if known to be baseless, it should be promptly recalled and withdrawn. While it stands unretracted, the Judiciary Committee are incontestably right in seeking to probe it; and we are confident that those nearest to Mr. Davis will thank them for 50 doing. If he fstobe tried for treason poxt month, and is guiltless of any complicity in or knowledge of Booth's atrocity, he ought to be publicly absolved and viadicated of the cliarge which now stands against him, and which may in 1y prejo- dico him in the winds of jurors. And we deem it highly probable that his able and thoroughly widé- awake counsel will insist, before he is put on trial for treason, that this charge of assassination shall either bo brought to issue or unequivocally rotracted. At wll events, we insist that it be thoronghly understood that *“the revolutionary Directory " is inno man- ner responsible for it. Tha News's attack on Judge Pnderwood is alike ab- surd and malevolent. Judge U. bkas caused the indict- ment of Davis for treason. It is'within our knowledge that zealous, able, disinterested friends of tho aceused have complained (we thought, with reason) that the oflicial head of the late Rebellion was kept so long du prison without heing indicted and tried. *‘Me i3 either guilty or not guilty,” they foreibly said: *If guilty, why not indict and try him? if not guilty, why not rolease him?” We thought they were so far right, and huve sought to have the obstacles to hia trial removed, And now we find a U, 8. District Judge of the United States held up to reprobation for doing his plo duty in the direction whick the near friends of the prisoner have hitherto indicated as conformable to their wishes. The correspondent of The News tolographs from Washington that “The recent indictment of Mr. Davis st Notfolk was bronght about by Judge Underwood on his own rosponaibility, and that it bas et received the s any offices or branch thereof. < * * Ttis well known to thé Government and to ull its law officers, that Jofersou Da- vis's crime, it may be, doca not amount (o treason, and that, tried in any Civil Coart, & conviction for treason cannot be secured. To place Jeffernon Davia on trial for treason is to laimed that be did not commit troason; and it isa of this fact that bas bitherto prevented bis trial. If he i put on teial under this indictment, it will simply be in order that he may be honorably acquitted, Underwood, and such men s Nye. who thirst for the blood of Jefferson Davis, do not see this” but Thsddeus Stevens sees it and hence his anxiety to get Mr. Davis tricd as au accomplice of the Assasein. —If M. Davis is or was “ the accomplice of assas- ¢ins,” he ought certainly to be tried as such; but wo have it do not believe Le was: hence, we i to be cleared of the blasting imputation before he is put on trial for treason. Admitting, then, the as- sumption of The News, we submit that Mr. Davis's friends should be greatly obliged to Mr. Steveus, to the House Judiciary Committee, and to whosoever else is trying to push the investigation of the Assassina- tion charge, and to Judge Underwood for procuring the indictment. Those who most love aud bonor the oad Center of the late Confederacy are thoroughly tired of his incarceration, and anxious that he should vither be tried or liberated, Thoy have never shrauk from any scrutiny into his alleged complicity with Booth, and have desired to see him speedily brought to trial on whatever charge might be preferred against him. The News is not serving him or them—it is sorving only itself—by carping at the action of Judge Underwgod or of the Jndiciary Committee. UNION IFEBLINH AT THE SOUTH. Ex-Gov, Holden of North Cavolina, in his Standard of the 12th inst., thns bears testimony to the growth and power of disloyal influences at the South: “Twelve months ago yesterday, we—the Sentor Editor— were summoued to Washit flun by P'rosident Johnson to con- n North Caroline.

It reallyseems to us that the habitual traducers of every product of American skill and industry should dwell among and get their living out of the people whose superiority to ours they are eternally vaunting, ‘Why should they inflict their presence on such & na. tion of inveterate blockheads or swindlers as they proclaim this to be ? That very poor rails sre sometimes made in this country is true; but poorer are even more abundantly made in Great Britain. Any company that chooses to do #0 may buy good rails, of either American or Brit- ish make; and the means whereby such are tested and discriminated are well known. But it is deplorably true that many American railroads are constructed with inpdequate means, and on the principle which nduced a Prince of Coudé to feed his horses ou con- fectionary, because he had still credit for that, but none for forage. Directors do not ask, ‘* Are these good rails 1" but * Can we got them for our bonds1” —and one consequence is the use of vast quantities of rails of the pipe-stem variety. More of these are British than American; but thero are too many of either; aud they are mnot likely to be fewer till ‘our e ne that th spociaien of the swli- tion of the Governmeat or | ist tuat he ought | ruling power | which | [ run over, so long as it is to be had cheap or bought (ill dosperate financiering ia not the Labitnal rasort of our railroad men.

Letthem fimly resolvo to buy noue but good rails, no matter how cheap or Low liberal the trust, and the markot will be amply supplied with thatkind, and with very few beside. THE PROSPECTS OF REFORM. Those who imagined that the Russell Ministry would abandon o half-fought field, and make the Reform contest of 1866 a Bull Run fight—nobody winning, nobody losing, & Chineso combat of noise and fireworks—will find in the doclaration of Mr. Glad- stone a very wholesome and sincere determination, on the part of the Ministry, to go to the end. The Times influence anticipated a resignation—abandoning bag- gage-wagons and guns, and sumendering to The Times. The half-and-halfs (if we may be permitted a suggestive English illustration) began to roconstruct all sorts of ministries—hybrid cabinots, with Lord Stanloy at the head and Lord Grosvenor at the tail— Mr. Lowe and Mr. Horsman very conspicuous. Wo had endless concern about Mr. Bright (restless, un- maangeablo, necessary Mr. Bright—what would Fngland do without him?), and speculations about Mr. Gladstone. Something must be dono with the first orator in the Commons, Perhaps he would go to the Tonian Islands again to oblige Lord Derby? As to Disracli, he could be sent to the Poers, as Lord Coningeby perhaps, or the Earl of Alroy. Reform would bo sent into the care of Adullan, with the Adullanites (so mercilessly satirized by Mr. Bright), while England drifted in chaos for anothor generation. Mr. Gladstone has destroyed this dream. He does not propoe to gpunt majorities with the enemios of reform. He takes the good Napoleonic plan. A vic- tory is & victory. The last shot gains the day. A majority of five is not a3 good as ten, or twenty—not « “triumphant majority,” as Mr. Bright archly sug- gosted, but to all iutents and purposes it is as deap as & woll aud as wide as & church-door. Considering the o0dds, rememberiug the Reform contest of 1532, know- ing that in reserve stands England, the manhood, the labor, the genius of a mighty nation, we think the Rus- sell Ministry shows rare wisdom. If this Parliament will take Reform, even with fiva majority, better zive it now than wait the result of fierce elections. We regard the decision of the 25th of April as a virtual viotory. The Times thinks the Ministry will make & compromiso—a concession to the new alliance of Tories and Mossy-Whigs—and patch up & Reform bill, giving reform to the ear, breaking it to the hope. There could be no more criminal mistake. No con- cossions can win sincere support from' Whigs like Grosvenor, treacherous Liberals like Lowo, and Tories like Disraeli. The least indication of weakness in the | ranks of the Ministry will be followed by **sauve qui peut” along the lines, and utter defeat. England demands union, courage, energy, and, if all else fails, an sppeal to the people. The last resort may not be necessary. But with England bebind Earl Russell, yearning to make his cause that of the nation, trepida- tion would be treason. We are glad to see no such sigus, aud we look upon reform as an accomplished fact already. ' WADE HAMPTON'S BLUSTER. Mr. Wade Hampton, whom Senator Shermau lately doseribed as the most impudent Rebel in Dixie, wrote a lotter on the 21st of April to deny the state- ment of Gen. Sherman as to the burning of Columbia. Geu. Sherman asserted that * the citizens set fireto the cotton, that he tried to extinguish thosa fires, that he saw i o Columbia newspaper the printed order of Gen. Wade Hampton that on the approach of the Yankee army all the cotton should be burned, and for what I saw myself I have no hesitation in saying that he was the cause of the destruction of the city.” In | reponse to which, Mr. Wade Hampton says: bt dan{ emphatically that any cotton was fired in Columbia by my order. L deny that the citizens ‘set fire to thousands of bales rolled ouf into tho streets.” T deny that cotton was ou fire when the Federal troops entored the ol It is easy to seo that Hampton evades, instced of meeting, Gen. Sherman’s charge. He does not deny that he gave the nrder to burn the cotton, which Gen. Sberman says he saw in 8 Columbia newspaper. The failure to deny is equivalent to an admis- gion, and if he did give that order, the other points are immaterial, because the issuing of the order fixes the responsibility. Whether the cotton was on fire when the Union troops entered is a question of fact to which Mr. Wade Hampton cannot speak, as he was & good distauce away at that time, | but to which other persons, who were on the spot, may be heard. We find in an evening paper of this city the following testimony: “The investigation need not be laborious; evory straet Las | o wituess. Ask any adult, * Who exploded the South Carolina n; Railroad depot {hn answer is. * Wheelers cavalry.’ Ask tho adnlt servants, * Who burned cotton in the streets ¢ and | plyis ‘1 did, by wassa’s order.” *Who gave the Fed- | eral troops liquor ' *The servants did, by their masters' or- | ders, at thoy might be made drunk, and the city retaken by Hampton,” * Who promised the ladies to defend their city | | | b b by Ineh instead of surreudering and preserving it? *Tho | Confederntes.” | One of the most beautiful ladies in Columbis sai she was tired of hearing so much about the barni bin; it was only & judgment; thut she saw ( burning bejore the Yankees came in.’ Still more precise is this affidavit: L Wiltiam B. Nash, do solemuly sweer that I was in the City | of Columbia, 8. C.. at the time of the entry of Geu. Sherman, in | February, 1565, I had not been out of the city during that month previous to the entry of the Unfon army. I saw the | South Carolina Railroad depot buildings burning before any | Union soldiers entered the city; Tsaw corpses, skilled by tha axplosion of the depot. The bridge across the Cougsree had | bee tarred the uight before the day of the entry, and 1 saw | it burning on that day. Isaw cotton burning in t before Mr, Giuyard's, before the troops entered. I | thera were 30 bales in tbat spot. I sew the light from the | bursiag of the Cherlotte Rallroad depot before the entry of the | troops. W. B Nasw. | Personally appeared before me this (ih day of May, 186, at | b !, wnd made oath as above. Brevet Brig-Gen. U8, V., and A, D, Dist. Western 5. C. We will not pag Mr. Wade Hampton the absurd omplimeut of supposing that his assertion is worth refuting by such positive evidence as this. But there | are people who suppose that some credible testi- | mony exists tending to prove that not Wade Hamp- tou but Gen. Shennan burned the city of Columbia, and we print the foregoing for their benefit. They might, in addition, ask Gen. Hampton, the next thue they see him, how he expected to keep his promise to defend Colambia without exposing it to destruction by bombardment; and how the proclama- tion to burn snd destroy everything before the path of the Yankees was to be carried into effect con- sistently with the safety of Columbia? And, finally, { if it was right for the Rebels to burn, why would it | have been wrong for Gen. Sherman ? e—— Celumbl _ The N. Y. Times saw fit distinctly and positively to charge the Railroad Committee of our late Assembly, instancing especially its Chairman, with having | “gone home with its bands and pockets fall of | +unclean drippings’ "—adding that ** THE TRIBUNE Jnows it.” We replied that we certainly had no such knewledge; but urged The Times to lay the facts charged before the proper officer, with a view to the indictment, trial, conviction and punisbment, of the culprits. The Times evading this domand, we pri the names of the Railroad Committee in question, dnd again called on The Times, to make good its blasting inculpation. Instead of doing this, it *itches fn” 1 genorally to whad it terms *“somo of the vagaries and targivarsations of Taz TRIBUNR.” We decline to be thus thrown off. Boppose all # Lias to 8ay of us were true, how would this explain, of excuse, or justify The Times's attack on the Railroad Committeo? That attack is either true or false; in either case, it has nothing to do with our ¢ vagaries oe tergiversations.” Once more, wo ask The Times to justify, its charge against Mr. John L. Parker and & majority of his asscciates oa the Assembly Railrosd Committes. Willit do so? TEXAS POLITICS. An election will bo held in Texas on the 25th of June next for State officors, and at the same time the amended Constitution agreed on by the Conventios will be submitted to the people for acoeptance or rejee- tion. Tt does not appear that thero is any serious op- position to tho adoption of the proposed amendments. The two parties of the State divide on personal issues, and on the old issucs of tho war, Those opposed ta Secession are now tho ** Union" party, and those whe were in favor of Sacession are the Conservative Union" party. The latter had control of the Conven. tion. The Southern Intelligencer, edited under the su- pervizion of the Union Executive Committee, assorts that * the majorily of the Convention did all in its power to thwast the policy of the President and to show its contempt for the people.” They refused to pass an ordinance declaring the Ordinance of Seces- sion null and void from fhe beginning, and contented themselves with declaring it simply null and void, That, however, 1s better than others of the Rebel States did, which, in contempt of the explicit injune- tion of the Prozidont, recoguized the validity of their Secession ordinances by repsaling them, and which povertheless were afterward applauded by Mr. John- son, and are now recommended for immediate read- mission. Iu regard to the Froedmen, the Texas Con~ stitution recognizes the abolition of Slavery ““by force of arms,” and onacts that— “ Afrioans and their descendants shall be protected in their 1ights of person and property by c:wmu legislation; thoy slall bave ¢ha rigit 10 contract av contracted % i and ba sued; to acquire, hold, and transmit property; and all criminal prosecntions agaiust them shall be conducted in the s3me maaner as prossoutious for like off-nses aguingt the white raoe, and shoy shall be anbjoct to like pena't . The fraedmen are permitted to testify in cases in- volving their own rights, and the Legislature may authorize them to be witnesses in othercases as to facte hereafter oconrring. But they aro denied the benefit of the school fund, which is appropriated ““ exclusively for the education of all the white scholastic inhabi. tants"—whoerer they may be. War debts in aid of the Confederacy are repudiated. The Toxas journals do not, as we said, indicate any opposition to this constitntion. As the Secessioniste Lad control of the Convention, they must be supposed to approve their own work, unloss they have siuce been encouraged to think they might haold a new Conveution under better auspices, and that fewer con- cessions to the loyal spirit of the North would now be requiréd by the President. Their opponents, however, who undonbtedly include all the loyalty there is in the State, seem tomake no point against the Constitution except that it does not go far enough in its opposition to Secession. They do not propose to extend any other rights to the negroes. Their sixth resolution says in a general way and apparently in & good spirit: “We soquiescs sincerely in the aot of the nation abolishing Slavery, aud we will endeavor to amcliorats the condition of the tread people in our midst, by tredting them With jus aid by according to thew, not grudziugly, but williagly Leartily, the rights which are now, or may bereaiter be, secured to them by the Constitation and the lawa.” But no measure of relief or justice is specified. The commendable thing about the genuine Uniom address is its tone of cordial loyalty to the Uniom and of tolerabla good-will to the Freedmen, while the Conservative or bogus Unionists echo the Copperhosd slang of the North in the declaration that they oppose ““ the hasty and inconsiderate elevation of the negre to political equality,” and in these sentences, ‘hlcl read like an editorial out of The World : *Tho Radical branch of the Repnblioan party of the North [ osonta- who closed the doors of Congress against Southern Re tives; who have declared their istention to reduce us to 8 con. dition of territorial vassalage, and to place us below the lorel of those who were ouoe our siaves, Aase their adherenis in our wery midst. They have bad their caucuses, adopted their plat- torms, nominated their candidates for the principal oftioss in the State, aud are determined to aid aud abet Stevens, Sumber, and Phillips, ia their opposition to the policy of the Preaident, in their raids ageinst constitutional liberty, and in the esiab- h_l_[neul_o! a consolidated despotic Governmont.” We bope, first, that the real Unionists will carry the State, and secondly, that they will then foel | themselves strong enough to despise the clamor about Radicalism, and lift themselves to the level of a justice which shall graut to the Froodmen both civil and political equali - The Ecening Post declines to copy our roply to its ime putations, or the subatance thereof, or to let itsreadors s00 in any way what are our essential positions on the question of Reconstruction. Instead of tbis, it tries to make its readers believe that we are opposing the admission of Maynard and Stokes and Johnson to seats in the House; when the fact isnot so. 'We do not de- sice anybody kept out of Congress; but we do want the whole Southern people admitted to full representa- tion in Congress at the earliest posaible day. 8o long as the question at issue concerns the representation of a part only, whether it be the loyal Whites, or all the Whites, wo do not regard it with a very lively in- hut, if a majority can devise & means of ad- mitting loyal representatives which shall not prejudios the right of the logal Blacks, we shall be heartily glad ofit, Musical.
