Garfield and Judge Spalding to Congress by overwholm- ing majontios. Those woll posted say that the Resorve will give 25,000 majority for the Radieal ticket in October. The New-Jersey Legislature, throngh the presiding officer, Mr. Scovel, has officially declared Alexander G. Cattell duly elected Sonator to represent this State in the Congress of the United States, to fill the existing va- cancy. The Hon. William A. Newell has been renominsted for | Congress by the Republican Convention in the 11d New- Jersey District. His reélection is almost certain. Dennis MeCarthy has boen nominated for the XXIIId Congressional District of New-York. CITY NEWS.

STOCKS AND MARKETS. Gold opened yesterday at 1455, and closed at 1454, Govern- ment stocks continue strong. Ssles of 5s of 1571 were made at 104, and of 10-40s at 964, The 520s 7.308 were steady. At the Second Board the market was stroug on Erle, which sold at 75]. The balance of the market was steady. In money there is uo change to potice. Call logns range from 3 to 5, tbe latter being tbe weneral rate to brokers of fair eredit. Best commerciai bills at 5 per cent, second grade at 54@0, with good wupply st 7 per cent. There is large vusiness throngh- ot the,city, and merchants are gettiog to be liberal in their credits'in their esgerness to do business. The ease in money and the goneral return of speculators from the country are produciog the usual effect upon the stock market, wlere greater sctivity and advancing quetations are recorded. — K& On the inside pages of to-day's issus will be found Dramatic Criticisms, Literary ltems, Commercial” Mat- ters and Market Reports. Minnesota held her Union State Convention yester- day, adopting resolutions which show that the Union party in the State is thoroughly in earncat. —_— The friends of the Union never had fairer chance for a thorongh organization for victory in every State. The campaign has opened. Though a President has been carried off the field Kors du combat, we look to see the battle renewed with fierce earnestness on the part of the enemies of Congress and of Equal Rights. The result in Vermont and Maine ought to inkpire noble effort in every State and district where & ma-, jority, however small or large, can add its weight to the heavy condemnation that will be polled against a destroying policy. Let us have strong organization everywhere, —_— Onr gallant soldiers at Syracuse have nobly recog- nised the services of their culored comrades, by & reso- lation adopted yesterday, which declares that the 200,000 colored men enlisted during the war fully proved their patrietism and courage on the field of battle. The true soldier if above the petty prejudices of the politician. Mr. Peter Cooper's letter to Andrew Johnson is one of those straightforward, earnest and kind rebukes that are often more severe than direct debunciation. But Mr. Cooper did not mean to be severe. Inall seriousness, he seeme to have tried to arouse Mr. Jobnson to a sense of duty, and, if possible, to reconcile the differences of the Executive and Con- gress. But that moderation and kindliness which will commend it to the people generally will scarcely have any effect on Mr. Johneon. Mr. Cooper will, we fear, not even be complimented with an answer. But if Mr. Johnson will not reply, the people cer- tainly will, for every warning and entreaty which the President rejects confirms the conviction that any weaker argument than votes is wasted. s The Times complains that the Radicals demand of the Rebels, * that the anti-war state of affairy will not be restored,” and says: ** Until the patriotism of the people, and the bravery with which they defended their flag bave ceased to exist, there sre guarantees enough. The Radicals do not believe either in]the bravery or the patriotism, and so re- echo thelr cry for ‘ guarantees.’ Which flag? If “thé Stars and Btripes,” We wholly believe in it; snd shall do our utmest to pre- vout Counservatives, Copperteeds and traitors from de- grading the beroism of the war by elevating Rebeld to honor and power over loyal men. To prevent this we demand coustitutional guarantees. _— The Post condomns us tor *‘sncering” at Forrest, the director of the Fort Pillow massacre. . We never sneer; but when we ‘see that there is vo innocent blood on the hands of this supporter of the New-Or- leans policy, we shall be tender with bim, and polite to those who take his kand as if it were clean, and ac- cept his heart as if it were not black. We have a great deal to learn bofore we forgive or forget the deluge of murder that flowed out at Fort Pil Perhaps the heroes at Cleveland (may their laarels keep green!) will remember this. Al any rate, . Sheridan does. i THE DOUBLE CONGRESS. The colintry must not lose sight of the threats of the Prosident and his following to plunge us .fresh into & new and terrible Civil War by constituting and recognizing & bogus House of Representatives, made up of a Johnson minority of the members legally en- titled to seats, combined with those chosen from the States which withdrew their members from Congress, and desperately strove to destroy the Upion. Having been utterly discomfit- ed in the bloody struggle thus inaugurated, they now propose to return to Congress in defiance of a subsisting law, and to constitute a House made up | of 80 or 90 Johnsonites from loyal States, and 40 or 50 chosen by the States not yet readmitted to repre- sentation. As the Republicans, it is fairly presumed, will not submit to this, it is eagerly calculated that the flames of Civil War will thus be relighted, and that the North will be visited with calamities like to those she recently inflicted on the South. This scheme cannot work unless a quorum of Cop- perhead representatives, Including those from the ex- Rebel States, can be secured at the ponding elections. The 50 Johnsonites (or thereabout)in the present House (including the Tennesseans), must be gwelled to 70, or they will not suflice, with the 52 from the ten States not yet restored to power in Congress, to muke a quornm. Unless these 20 shall be gained in the en- suing elections in the loyal States, the plot must fail. Will the People give the Johnsonites the 20 gains they must have to enable them to disorganize Con- gross and inaugurate a fresh Civil War? Whero are those 20 gains to be made? Concede that the Rebel vote cast in defiane of law in Maryland and Missouri is good for 5 of them, where will they gain the 15 still wanting? Shail New-York or Pennsylvania, Indiana or Ohio, contribute most to make up the requisite number? We call upon the people everywhere to question the rival candidates for Congress sharply ard closely on this head. Let us know precisely which candi- dates, if elected, will take part in organizing a House made up in part of men by law disqualified to sit. After what the President has said of ‘‘Northern traitors” and in disparagement of Congress as jnvalid and usurping, the Peoplo should insist on knowing exactly what each can- didate will do if electod and called to choose between two Houses—oue of 100 to 120 members chosen wholly from loyal States, and the other of 70 members from those States and 52 from the ten which, hav- ing been doeply involved in the Rebellion, have not yot been readmitted to Congress. Let each be con- strained, if unwilling, to show his hand! The issue is 80 momentous that nothing must be left to guess- work and uncertainty. Honest men will not seck concealment, and others must not be permitted to find it. STATE NOMINATIONS. The telegraph has informed us that the Republican Union conferees of the XXIIId Congress district on Tuesday nominated DENXis McCARTRY of Syracuse for Representative of that district in the next House whereupon the dclegates from Cortland County with- drew and refused to ratify the nomination. Cortland County has about one-fourth the popula- tion now required for a Congress district, and has, we think, had & representative in the House more than a fourth of the time for the last twenty, thirty or forty years. And yet, we presume that we should have favored her demand that the candidate be now ac- corded her. But it has not been done; aund bolting can have uo other effect than to reduce the majority for Gov. Fenton and his associates on the State Ticket. Hence, we call on the [stanch Republicans of Cort- land to frown down this bolt, and stand by their most worthy and eapable nominee. DExNis MCCARTHY grew up a most ardent, active, efficient Democrat. He was the intimate friend and favorite of his party’s eminent leaders, and had the fairest prospects of party favor ever offered to a young man's ambition. When the reverberation ot the Rebel cannon fired at Sumter reached Syracuse, he put party instuntly under foot in deference to his obsorbing love of country. In defiance of the preju- dices, the hopes, the entreaties, of nine-tenths of his kinsmen, his admirers and personal friends, be took his stand with the unconditional Unionists, and has ever since sympathized with them intensely and worked with them effectively. Though loving and honoring Horatio 8eymour, he did his utmost for the election of ‘Wadsworth and of Fenton. Of the many patriotic and zealous War Democrats in our Staté, not cne is more deserving or more efficient than Dennis MeCarthy, and there is no man of whatever antecedents for whom we should more gladly and proudly vote to represent us in Congress. And his character and course are so well known in Central New-York that we believe he will have not a vote less than 5,000 majority, whereof 2,000 will be given in Cortlsnd County. 1t would be a wrong and a shame to let his majority fall a vote below 5,000 —There is & most shameful split in the Rochester District, which we mainly regret because, if unhealed, itis likely to reduce Gov. Fentou's majority there. That district is good for 2,500 majority for the entire Republican-Union State Ticket; aud every vote short of that will be so much sqnandered by that wretched feud respecting candidate for Congress. We entreat the Republicans of the district to close their ranks at | once; if they fail to do so within a fortnight, we shall ask the State Committee to send an impartiai deputa- | tion to Rochester to investigate the matter, and, on their report, to advise the Republican-Unionists of the district as to which candidate they should support. For Assembly, thus far, the mass of the Republican nominations are remarkably judicious and worthy. Of the very best class are Messre. Pitts of Orleans, Palmer of Dutchess, and several other members of the last House. Others equally admirable are suggested; and we have strong hopes that the next Legislature will be an improvement on the last, which was a de- cided improvement on its immediate predecessor. We hope to hear that Judge Selden of Rochester, Mesers. Tremain and Cochrane of Albany, and some other of the strong men of the last House, will yet ac- cept nominations. Until we can Lave a Constitutional Convention and largely increase the number of mem- bers, the only breakwater against corrupt legislation is the choice of eminently strong and pure men. —_— The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalsst, after making the quite needless disclaimer that **the South is not the author of that freedom which is now hurrying the negro to his grave,” adds that the Southrons feel kindly toward the Blacks, and that “ A riot here or there—in Metbphis or New.Orleass—does not wilitate agains m.oumlu:uor these outbreaks are everywhere—ns witness h:{;_puu—un in them ary ‘ork, who haiged the Blacks to the 1he i5farior blood tmast ever go to the w —The Sun quotes all this approvingly, when it well knows that the mob of July, 1863, which strung up harmless negroes to lamp-posts and burned the Colored Orphan Asylum after swaling part of the ohildron's olothes, was wet & “loval” wob, save 88 NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SKPTEMBER 20, 1866.

It was in heart and soul a Rebel mob—uot one Republioan nor Learty War Democrat in its motley ranks; and every scoundrel that helped compose it would have ahiouted “bimself boarse in welcoming Lee’s army had it marched in triumph up Broadway.

Y. Times of yesterday, in its editorial sum- mary of the news of the day, says: **1t is estimated that 1,000 persons have arrived at Galves- ton and Houston, Texas, to escape the perseot tions of guer- ridas in the interior, who rob and murder on both sides io- discriminately, for plunder. Affairs throughout the State are daily becoming worse instend of better, aud innumerabie out- rages are houily recorded.” —These guerrillas are almost if not quite wholly ex-Rebel soldiers. They hold that work is the destiny of “niggers,” and utterly unsuited to chivalrous Whites like themselves. Of course, **they rob and murder indiscriminately for plunder;” but tho de- fenseloss negroes are their special prey, because un- protected by legal authority or public sentiment. The Blacks murdered in Texas alone since the return of * Peace " are very many; and not one of the mur- derers has as yet been punished by State authority. Where is this toend? What power is to supply the | corrective? Texas has 45 political newspapers, whereol 40 are “Conservative "—that is, ex-Rebel—and & Union, or as Radical as they can venturs to be. Most of their conductors live in constaut terror. A letter just received from Collin County states that Throck- morton, now Governor, made a speech there just before the polls opened, which was in effect a denun- every man who should dare to vote Radical ticket, which had the effect of iminishing the anti-Rebel vote at least half. It was 50 in most Counties. It was perfoctly safe verywhere to vote for Throckmorton; it was peril ous at most polls to vote for Pease. Hence, the vote of many of the eastern and central Counties is al- most or quite unanimous for Throckmorton, And yet, with but 5 of the 45 newspapers on our side, while but two of these had any general circulation, Pease received 12,000 votes to some 40,000 for Throck- morton. Had all who desired Pease’s success voted for him, his poll would probably have reached 20,000, Yet we are daily told by *‘Conservative” journals and gpeakers that the Southern Loyalists or Radicals have no party at their back but ** niggers.” If they were fairly protected against violence and terrorism, this could no longer be pretended. | | | SHEARING THE SHEEP. Whatever may be thought of the welcome extended to the IPresident in the little towns where two or three were gathered together, or in this overgrown New-York, where there was more of a mob, we have read nothing in the whole history, of the progress so touching s the account of Mr. Johnson's welcomg in Washington. All the clerks in all the Departments were notified, it appears, to put on clean collars, and to personally assist at the ceremony. Mayor Wallach made the very finest speech which we ever read in the whole course of our existence, then the President made the next finest, and then all the clerks lapsed into due and appropriate shouting. But this is past, and we will not stop to discuss it further than to observe that we are informed by telegraph that *‘ the pressure upon all the Departments for clerical posi- ions continues with unabated furore.” What with the men who do not want to be turned out, and the men who fdo want to be turned in, we have every reason to believe that there was a noisy and affecting dewsonstration. It is the most natural thing conceivable. But it is one thing to bellow and quite another thing to disburse. Lungs are not breeches-pockets. A petty place-holder may be perfectly willing to put all his wind at the disposal of the President, but may not be exactly euraptured to find himself taxed three per cent on his salary to sustain Johnsonianism in the District of Columbia and elsewhere. This is the booty which ‘‘the Democratic Johnson Club” of Washington ie said to be levying, and we say boldly that, considering the price of bread and beef, itiss burning shame. Office-holding always has its draw- backs, however liberal its emoluments, It can never be sgreeable to sny honorable man to feel that his daily supply of bread and butter may be suddenly cut off by the whim, the ingratitude, or the interest of his #nperior; that be is merely making merchandise of hif opinions and coiniog his principles into daily wages; that in order to be paid for work which he must do, he must do work for which be is not paid at all. He may, moreover, be willing to give, and yet be extremely unwilling to be taxed. The right to take three per cent implies the right to take thirty; the wire-workers and the managers who to-day swindie moderately, may to- morrow become absolufely exorbitant; snd he who is asked to sustain the Administration by a money con- tribution, may well consider, with grief and appre- hension, that it is not likely to have many votes for which it does not roundly pay. About all such oper- ations there must always be a suspicion of extortion, for human nature under such circumstances is rarely moderate, and while the payer is helpless, the payee is usually both bungry and unserupulous.

But in the present position of European politics, the nationality doctrine is oftener used by ambitious princes as a pretext for acts of violence, than by un- interested statesmen as a means to promote harmony between nations, and to promote the interests of peace. In the mouth of Napoleon the reassertion of this principle may, therefore, mean either an appeal to the sympathies of the noblest patriots of the European countries, or a loophole for returning, when s suitable opportunity offers, from the professions of peace to the arbitrament of the sword. The failing health of Napoleon makes it probable that he is more intent upon securing the continuance of his dynasty than upon risking uncertain wars. While at a more favorable junoture of circumstances he would hardly resist the temptation to risk a war for the rectification of the French frontier, there are many reasons to helieve that his present professions of peaceable desigus are sincere. B — THE CITY'S CANDIDATE. REPRESENTATION OF NEGROES. To the Editor of The N. V. Tridune. Sir: A number of mechanics would like to have you answer the followiog: As tho law of the land stands to-day, are iive segroes to count five, or only three, in making up the basis of represonts- tion to Congress, in the Southern States! Tennessee haviag been sdmitted, how will they enumerate there ! MANT VoTERS. Answer.—From and after the next apportionment— which will be made in 1871-2—five negroes will count five, and will balance five White men. The Federal Constitution knows and makes no dis- tinction on account of color, Its basis of representa- tion in Congress is **the whole number of fres pérsons, and three-fiths of all ether persons.” (Art. L, sec.2.) ‘When the existing apportionment was made, the Blacks, with few exceptions, were not * free persons;" they were ** other persons,” and counted accordingly. In all future apportionments, they will be connted as ' * free persons,"—[ Ed. Trib, MAINE. Papers like The World, which have nothing better to do, are idling their time—precious time which can never be restored—in vain attempts to explain away the Maine elections. They go back as far as 1856 to show that Maine really never did amount to much politically, never will, and that her vote is of not the slightest con- sequence as an indication of National sentiment. Indeed, the unfortunate State is almost out of the Union, it is so far away from the South. But as it is of no consequence whatever, we are surprised that these papers make such 8 noise about it. But, with all their explanations, they can never ex- plain away Figures. The Arithmetic is one of our best campaign documents, and s little ciphering is often better than & grest deal of argument. We re. ceived last night returns from 408 towns, which give Gen. Chamberlain a total of 68,198, against 40,420 The Constitutionalist of Georgla quotes the speech of Geo. H. Pendleton as ‘s marvelous proper” plat- form. *‘We can stand with Mr. Pendleton on that platform—"*no other conditions than thase prescribed by the Constitution’—with all the plessure in the world. But we can't go anything that smells of Joyal, or squints at the Test Oath, or any form or modification thereof whatsoever. The game would n't be worth the candle.” Inssmuch as the Constitution recognizes such & thing as treason, we are curious to know the opinions of The Constitwtionalist on the subject of hanging.
