Hamiltou's Speech; Saturday Afternoon at the Central Park, and other interesting matters, We beg every reader to consider well Judge Kel- ley's substitute for the Reconstruction project of the Joint Committee submitted yesterday to the House. We entreat for it a careful consideration. It seems to render all further Constitutional Amendment super- flnous, while opening a door for the speedy restoration of every Southern State to her full equality and power in Congress. It may be improved, but we like this immensely, and wish it could be passed. Washington is emulous of the growing fame of New-York in respect to temperance. Our dispatch states that as a consequence of closing the bar-rooms last Sunday, there were but fourteen arrests in all the city. Statistics in respect to New-York show that by shutting up the grog-shops here, there has been a decrease daring four Sundays of 3206 in the number of arrests. In April, when the law was not enforced, there were 553 arrests. In May, when it was enforced, there were 257 arrests, Such facts as these, are the best answer to the rumsellers’ clamor about interfer- ence with their ** rights"—** rights" such as the Rebel States claimed, to upset the foundations of society for their own benefit. Mr. Williams reported yesterday from the Judiciary Committee an act for the regulation of appointments and removals from office, providing that no officer shall be removed except by consent of the Senate, un- less for disability or misconduct occurring during the recess of the Senate. A similar provision has once been voted down when offered as an amendment to the Tax bill, but we believe the Republican members —or many of them—who then opposed it, excused their hostility by promising to sustain a similar propo- sition when offered independently. 'We published the names of those mewbers at the time, and they will now have an opportunity to vindicate the sincerity of their professions by a hearty support of the bill which the Judiciary Committee has agreed upon. A special dispatch from Washington informs us that the French Legation in Washington is in possession of Lighly important news relative to Mexico, It states that Marshal Bazaine has received orders from his Government to concentrate the French troops at three places, Mexico, Orizaba, and Puebla; to commit no more hostile demonstrations; and to embark 75 per cent of his forces in October next for France. If this news shall prove to be correct, affairs in Mexico are likely to draw rapidly to a crisis. Ifthe French troops withdraw from actual contest, it must soon appear how large a part of the Mexican people Lave Leen won over to the monarchical party. The Austrian and Belgian troops are both less numerous and efficient than the French, and will bardly avail to sustaiu the Empire when the French are withdrawn, R ——— The letter of our Richmond correspondent calls our attention to a fact which has been in danger of es- caping timely notice as a piece of history. The fact, briefly stated, is that Mr. Lincoln, in his letter which convened the Virginia Legislature cotemporancously with the fall of the Rebellion, disclaimed having pow- ar oyer the subject of Reconstruction, and declared | | is still held in close jail withe NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1866, his conviction that it belonged to Congress. This letter, it is asserted, was simply an invitation to the Virginians to withdraw practically from the Rebellion, and and it is believed that Mr. Lincoln was never more carcfal in bis terms. If, a3 we think, our correspon- dent Lias given us credible testimony Mr. Johnson cannot be pursuing Mr. Lincoln's plan of Reconstruc- tion. I it is incorrect, those who bave the letter in keeping can easily sct the question at rest by its pub- lication. We have only to ask: Can this letter bo furnished, and if so, why has it been withheld? e JEFFERSON DAVIS, The House of Representatives yesterday, on motion of Mr. Boutweli of Mass., by a vote of 105 to 19, Resolved, As the opinion of the Honse of keprgltnuflva:l that said Davi suid be held in custody as a prisouer, ai subjooted {0 trial, according to the laws of tue laad. There would seem to be no roow for doubt as to the correctness of one proposition here given, since all parties are agreed uponit. The House says Davis should be tried; bis counsel say exactly the same, and have been trying, ever since they were allowed to communicate with Lim, to get bis case before a judge and jury, Then why is he mot tricd? Who stands in the way ? Judge Underwood held yesterday, on an application for bail, that he was a prisoner of war—there®ie, not bailable. The fact being assumed, the reason is conelusive. But how long may a prisoner of war be held after the war is officially declared at an end ? Suppose one were held to-day as a prisouer of war, taken by Gen. Jackson at New-Orleans in 1316, would that suffice to bar his liberation? But how and when did Davis become a prisoner of war? He wasnot arrested as a public enemy, but as a felon, officially charged, in the face of the civilized world, with the foulest, most execrable guilt —that of having suborned assassins to murder Presi- dent Lincoln—a crime the basest and most cowardly known to mankind, It was for this that $100,000 was offered and paid for hisarrest. And the Proclama- jon of Andrew Johnson and Wiliiam H. Seward offering this reward says his iplicity with Wilkes Booth & Co. is established * by evidence mow i the Bureau of Military Justice.” timie to hunt it up.

Is the charge of a Then 1t should be retracted as pu Isit persisted in? Then why is he not trie Can you imagine any creditable reason for leaving this matter as it is? It has been asserted that Davis is respe the death by exposure and famine of our ea soldiers; and his official position gives plausibi the charge. Yet while Henry Wirz—a miwerable wretch—a mere tool of tools—was long ago ar- raigned, tried,convicted,sentenced, and hanged for thi erime—no charge has been oflicially preferred against Davis. 8o we presume nove is to be. For eight or ten months, he was not allowed to see handoned ? made, on it yas it w ble for ured ty to | his wife ny member of his family, nor to commu- nicate with connse v open letters sent through the War Departim: sngth, the embargo is re- ad he is Itaneously indicted for treason. laxed, “Now," say bis counsel, **we shall get his case int court;” and they attend at the very first sitting | to call it on. The Judge has no scruple about trying it—he is loyal, upright, and fearless— there is no b in the way—! the Govern- ment comes md day and is not ready on made on that side, and the case bas to go over! Now if there be ason for not try in Virginia, it is per triable in T is ample evidence that Jefl. Davis was at Marfreesboro® in 1862, wielding and impelling th tebel army of Tennessee. Judg goft ict is thoroughly loyal; he bolds Court at Kuoxville, among a pe ple as overwhelmingly loyal as Vermont. Why bas not an indictment becu found and tried in his Court? Who can say ? o preparation ha There ce. It has a very bad look when a man officially | charged with the vilest crime known to men is not even indicted therefor, but kept in close jail overa yedr withont knowing on what charge; aud, when at gth an indictment is found aganst him for some- thing totally different, he can’t get tried on that, but t being allowed a chance to face his accusers, We should not like this sort of treatment; and we mean to insist on fair play for friends and enemies alik Mind, here is no question of merey or lenity, since none has yet been solicited. A prisoner aceused of heinous crimes asks to be tried: and his trial is shuf- fled off, while he is kept in close jail a good way on his second year. Meantime, the belief gains ground that the whole business is a sham—that there is no intention of trying him—that he is only beld till a favorable time shall have come for letting him go— and, when his counsel offer bail, they are told that he 15 not a criminal, but a prisoner of w Aud, in the South, it is currently proclaimed that the Government dare not try him for treason lest it be proved ou trial that he was right and the Unionists wrong in our late struggle! The Government of the United States cannot afford | to be thus cowering und flecing before an alleged criminal. It must come to the hght. It must de- clare on what charge he is held, for what erime he is to bo tried, and when; why these hesitations, and why his counsel have to be coaxing and begging for a trial. If he is to be tried at all, he cannot be tried oo soon. One year ago, Davis was the fallen chief of an utterly prostrate Rebellion. He was unpopular at the South and detested at the North, 1t is very different now. Hehas fully regained all the popularity he ever had, Every ex-Rebel regards Davis as suffering for kim; and he wins sympathy outside of their eircle, Another year of Fortress Monroe might make him popular at the North, “or our own part, and in bebalf of some others who believe the true, sulficient bases of Reconstruction to be UNIVERSAL AMNESTY, [MPARTIALSUFFRAGE—these two, and no more—we demand that this prisoner of War, or prisoner of State, or whatever he may be, shall have the full legal rights secured to him by the Constitution and laws of the land. Believing that any illegal harshness to which he may be exposed tends to engender new bitterness between North and South, and to indispose the latter to accept conditions of reconciliation which we hold best for cach and all, we sball oppose it as at once a wrong and a blun- der. We have still an open, serions controversy with those who insist on reconstituting our country on a basis of Caste and Prejudice, and we cannot afford to give them the advantage of truly representing us as making war on a fallen, powerless prisoncr of War or of Peace. The people of Mercer County, N. J. (which includes Trenton), have just been blessed, aud have blessed mankind, with a Grand Jury which appreciated its duties and was firmly resolved to discharge them- ‘That Grand Jury, at the close of a paticut, scarching investigation, indicted some ten or twelve prominent attendants on the sittings of their late Legislature-~ members, ex-members, and others—as guilty of bribing or being bribed; and, if Mercer is also blessed—as we trust she is—with a sternly upright, capable, fearless district-attorney, we shall all soon be edified by criminal trials at Trenton which will tend to purify the moral atmosphere of that badly. reputed city. We do not assume the guilt of any of the personsin dicted. That remains to be proved; and there are tWo or three amoug those reported under indictment ve themselves from threatened confiscation, j S0 there was no need of | g the case | whom we shall hope to see vindicated by a verdict. But that Trenton has long been a slave-mart of the vilest sort—a place where high public trusts were be- trayed and human souls knocked down to the highest bidder—is too notorious to be questioned. Let us trust, then, that these indictments will be tried as they | should be, with such results as will vindicate inno- | cence and overwhelm guilt with shame and remorse. —_— THE FENIANS IN CONGRESS. 1t is evident from the debate and votes of yesterday that the House stands ready to give an official ex pression to the popular disapproval of certain features of the Administration policy in respect to the Fenians This censure might have been averted bad the Administration confined itself to a vigorous execution of the law, and dealt with the Fenian leaders in good faith, As it did neither, it has succeeded in alicnating the regard of a very large portion of its support- ers, aud hLas laid itsel open to the charge of concilisting tho good will of Great Britain by an ostentatious display of a zeal which the circumstances did not demand. Mr. Ancona, however, committed a blunder in proposing the repeal of the nentrality act, and his string of whercases is based upon an imperfect knowledge of He the provisions of the statute of 1318 might Lave made his caso stronger by a more careful perusal of the law. There is nothing in the act which *compels” the Government to use force against the Fenians, 8o much of the law as authorizes the use of the land and naval forces is permissive merely, and it was wholly cptional with the Administration whether they should or shonld not employ the military resources of the United States against citizens of this country in behall of a colony of Great Britain. The law contemplates the exel of a discretion by the President. It imposes mo duty. whatever upon him; it simply declares that *‘it shall be law- ful for the President of the United States, or such other person as he shall have empowered for that purpose, to employ . . . . the land or aval forces of the United States . . . - for the purpose of preventing the carrying on pedition,” &e. The framers of that starute foresaw that cases might arise in which con- siderations of justice or of policy would require no | of any such di-cretion,and not as au esecutionof a mandatory stat- ute, T Leality Actis not to blame, The President, and b i, assuined the re ibility of so inter preting that act as to frustrate the Fenian expedition, 1 to Lim to have omitted traordinary employment of the military of the Canada border.

We cannot, of course, promise that they shall be a lopted; but we do promise that he shall not be blamed by us for the gaseous condition of our currency il they shall be defeated. Lot us say frankly that we understood Mr. McCul- loch to be standing behind Mr, Sherman’s Fivi t Fuuding bill—that we should not have gi w0 hearty & support had we not uuderstood this. Now Mr. Sherman is the well-known author of the propo arate exceeding Ten Millions per month—that is, are by no means alone in our understanding that Mr, Sherman is the organ of the Treasury Department. If this be a mistake, let us know it explicitly; and let us know exactly what Mr. MeCalloch would have doe to enable him to resume Specie Payments, oL 'S AND PIETY, Poor Mr., George Lunt, weltering in the sophistry of his five hundred pages on **The Origin of the War," dedicates a generous space to the meddlement of the Clergy with politics and the capsizing of their pulpits into what Mr. Lunt vigorously calls **the disturbed vortex of political wrangle"—* a flagront dereliction of the demeanor becoming their sacred profession.” *“They preached upon Kansas,” says this author, “and prayed about it,” aud *the immediato effect of this ecclesiastic interposition in a question of merely political import, was disastrous in the extreme” —in the opinion of Mr. Georgo Lunt.

The South Carolina Doctors of Disinity managed so to hemuddle the controversy, that the inevitable con- clusion from these premises was that it was wrong and even sinful not to hold slaves; the assumption of the patriarchal position became a religious duty, and Emancipation a weak concession to the promptings of a carnal and unregenerate heart. Of course, when slaveholders thus retreated to the altar, and there sought sanctuary, there were not wanting Christians who felt it to bea duty todislodge them. Their eccle- siastical debates, ruptures, and passionate divisions, were inevitable, because the Church, assuming the Divine and common paternity, and the eternal fra- ternity of all men, was obliged either to protest against a civil law which must result ina moral inequality, or else discover some not very palpable law'by virtue of which plain commandments weresus- pended whenever policy or convenienee mightrequire. When Slavery based itself upon religion, men and women whose religion was thus insulted and outraged could hardly be expected to remain dumb. It was the habit, and it had always been the habit, of the clergy to discuss public questions from a religions point of view; and if all the patriotic Doctors of New- England could properly preach against the Stamp Act and the Boston Port Bill, it was not easy to sce why their successors should keep close-mouthed upon a subject perfectly saturated with moral and religious clements. Of the services rendered by the elergy to the coun- try during the agony of its mortal peril, it is needless for us to speak. It would be strange, indeed, if those who acted and spoke so admirably in the hour of our material peril were tongue-tied at this moment of moral discipline. The state of the conntry is not to be kept out of synod, or convocation, or convention. Even clerggmen must speak out of the fuluess of their hearts, like ordinary human beings. The New- England Methodists met last week in Boston, which is the city in which Mr. Lunt is good enough to re- side. There was a business meeting and there was a festival, and at both there was an inevitable lapse into patriotic aud, we may say, political speeches. One gentleman recalled the fact that there are 70,000 Methodist voters in New-England, and argucd that they should be “upon the side of civil and religions liberty.” Dr. Cook presented resolutions, which were adopted, in favor of negro suffrage. Gov. Bul- lock, a guest, told the company, that *American Methodism and American Independence started hand " Mr. Hatfield of Chicago said that *“in the army and among the men who did the fighting, he found as many Methodists as of all other denominations put together.” Gov. Evans of Colorado * criticised the Veto Message.” Bishop Simpson said: * War has closed, aud every slave in the land has become free. Our flag is high in the heavens, with not a star dimmed nor a stripe crased. We are a great nation yet, and God smiles on us The Methodists in Boston do not present any sin- gular example. Wherever and whenever great church lodics get together, we find them naturally falling into the same exercises and discussions, speculations and thanksgivings, a like gratitude and similar con- gratulations, Weare unwilling to think that men reasonably intelligent and indisputably conscientious are deviating so far from a just standard of Christian ethics as their ill-natured and fanciful critics would have us believe. Those who pray against privy con- If politicians may criticise clergymen, we do not see why clergymen may not ns. Nobody need be alarmed, save those who should be alarmed, to find a distinet practical application animating the dry bones of theoretical theology; nor would a clergy be of much value which submitted to the diotation of self- | constituted censors, and took care to preach nothing disagrecable to Mr. George Lunt. If any of our cleri- cal readers have good, rousing sermons on Recon- struction in their desks, which heretofore they have been too timid to preach, we beg them to take cour- age, and to hold forth sonorously, There is one ugly feature about the death penalty which none of its advocates can modify or hide. 1Tt is o fact that, in order to inflict it, we are forced to ery circumstance that makes murder us, Legal murder is done in cold blood; long premeditated; it is deaf to every cry, however agonizing, for pity; it is blind to every sign of peni- tence, however sinee it takes no thought of the condemned man's relatives, however innocent, whose peace it mars and whose future it blights.

It ‘: an exceediogly amusing story, aud it is told fn very brilliant Malogue, compressed as now acted, into three sparkiiy We referred to t i this comedy, whon Mr. Brougham produced it here last season, and could add nothing to the admiration thea expressed for its strongly individualized and finely drawn characters, its humorous situations, its wit, its wisdom, and the high tone of its sentiment, 1Itisa thoroughly good p‘h — and that for o reason whick is worth pointing out. ;r Drougham is ove of the faw dramatic authers now mw’t who possess suflicient intellect, wit, and cultuze to be able to base a play upon intrinsic merits of thought fecling and, style, and not upon werely theatrical expedients, We donot pauss to illostrate the idea. Tt willbe found to be both sound and suggestive by those who coose to reflect upon it. Succoss achieved by such means is success properly achieved; and hence we feel peculiar pleasure in recording the cordial, popu. lar welcome which has now been bestowed on “ Flics iu the Web,"” just as last week it was upon ** Playing With Fire" The picce has been weil presoated, under Mr. Haniy's wau, agement; and it is generally well actsd. Mr. Brougham and Miss Carr enact the prinoipal characters. Forglove s a fine companion picture to Dr. Savage, and Mr. Erougham’s portrayal of the kiad-hearted, worldly-wise, garru- lous, witty old lawser is romarkably trushful, and touckes the heart by its gende humanity while it wreathes the face in smiles by ite exvberant bumor. Mz Brougham, in pleasantly demonstrating bis alleged inabllity to **mak> a speech,” made last evening, a delightful and characteristic address, after the comedy, tv one of the most thoroughiy pleased audiences wo Lave ever seen. o subsequantly playea O'Callaghan ia * His Last Logs"—presonted as an aftorpieco—and proved that an artist can delineato an Irishman upon the stage, without being that boisterous inanuy which is too frequeutly preseated as the truo type of Ceitic character. Inthe theatrical world itis now a fully admitt @ fact that Summer bas actually arrived. At Niblo's, at tn Olywpic, and at the Wiater Garden, the poiut was conesd @ last Monday. At Wallack's, however—which is a little nearer the North Pole—a vizorous stand was made, for six days, i behalf of * the Full and Winter Season.” But budding Nature and buddiog Irish drama proved more than a match for con- servative views; aod so the “Fall and Winter Season” sue- cumbrd, on Saturday evening last. * It is Never Too Late to Mend” was acted, for the thirtieth time, ou that evenivg. and a large andience applauded its humano feelings and its beautiful scenery, and went away well pleased. Geoial and cheerfal feeling reigned on both sides of the custain. In the green-room, the usual farewell words were spoken, over the generous **rosy "—if we may borrow the expressive phrase of the immortal Swivellor—and 80 the players parted, and went their geveral waga. Some go to the mountains some to the sea-side, some across tho ocean. Among the latter is Mr. Holston, whom wo shall bope fo welcome back at no distant day. Miss Heoriques has elready gone to England. Mr. Wallack himself will take refuge among the White Hills,. We note these incidents as typical of that peca liar disintogration which attends the closs of a theatrical season. There is, of course, o certain sentiment of sadness connected with it, but tte players have fairly earned their right to repose, and we hearuly wish them s bappy Summer, wherevor they dwell. How industriously they ave labored and how mueh they bave accomplisbed in the service of dramatic art, my be gathered from a brief back- ward glance at the record of the season, which, opening ou the 215t of September, 1565, has lasted vearly nine mouths, and has been thickly chequered with variety and novelty. Forty- uine plavs have been acted at Wallack's Theater within the time specified. Of these, the ** Double Gallaot,” played 8 times, ** Lost in London,” played 23 times, ** Heary Dunbar,” played 18 times, * The Needful” played 14 times, *Society played @ times, * The Sert,” played I times, *The Porter's Knot" aud *Second Lov ayed once each, aud It Is Never Too Late to Mend,” played 30 times, were abso- luto novelties, The other pieces were: ‘*‘ Americans in Paris” “Boots at the Swan” the ‘ Country Squire,” the * Clandestine Marriage,” ** Dreams of Delusion,’ “Deaf as a Post,” ** Dombey and Son,"” ** Do Caezar de Bazan," “The Eton Boy,” * High Life Below Stairs,” * How She Loves Him," *Ici on Parle Francais” the * Irish Heiress,' *Johu Ball, Kiogi and Comedian,” the “King of the Commons,” the ' Knights of the Round Table,’ Sacrifice,” the ‘' Laugbing Hyena,” *Ladies at " ¢ Miriam's Curse,” ** Married Life,” ** A New Way to Pay Old Debis,” * The Poor Gentleman,” ** Paal Pry,” * Rural Felicity,” ** * Romance and Reality,” the * Roat Day,” ** Still Waters Run Deep,” ** Secrets Worth Kuowing,” the * Serious Family,” *Stugle L e Stoops to Cone To Marry or Not to Marry,” the * Unequal Mateb," Wonderful Woman,"” ** Wouder,” and * The Wife's Se- erot.” Ta several respeots this list is suggestive. As o play is sver dous at Wallack's without careful retearsal, it shows | that there has been no lack of hard work for the results at- tained. ‘The Summer season at this house, under the management of Mr. Moss and Mr. Fioyd, was inaugurated last nigit. Mr, Daa Bryant, as is his custom always iu the Summer time, appeared in Irish Drama. “Bors to Good Luck” and * Handy Asdy” were actod. When Mr. Biyant played bere last Summer, w0 npted with much interest his ambitious and careful effurts after pxcellence in bis art.

The orchestra is ample, and ac- commodutes easily the thirty musicians which form Mr. Thomas's very competent band. Ladles and gentlemen and groups of pretty children, makiug the wost charming family gronps, filled all the nooks and corners of this very agreeable Summer evening resort. Mr. Theo. Thomas is not engaged by the proprietors of the Garden, but Las assumed the resposibility of the experiment e knows the universal popularity of these concerts, both in Germany aud in Paris, and be determived to see if the same cluss of entertainment would meet the approbation and supply the wants of the music-loving population of New-York who do not rusticate or “ do the watering places.” The Concert last night displayed a happy selection. There was most admirable music, and the classic was happily con- trasted with the light and popular. ‘The orchestra is composed of first-class artists, and thero will be no substitutes. We ahall always hear the same excellont artists, every night im proving by constant practice together. The second Concert will take place this evening, commene- ing at 74 o'clock.
