The two Houses will meet in convention to-day, and he will be de- clared elocted. Goy. Boreman, in his messago yesterday, argued in favor of the Constitutional Amend- ment, and the Senate of West Virginia ratified it by a vote of 15 to 8. It will propably pass the House to-day. Gen. Geary was inaughrated Governor of Pennsylvania yesterday. His Inangural Address asserts Radical principles with emphasis, and de- clares that there is no such thing as republican government in the Rebel States. om—— The evacuation of Mexico by the French has fairly begun. A Cable dispateh informs us that a detachment of French troops from Mcexico has just artived in France, and also that the last of the transports to take home to France the legions that opened Maxdmilian’s way to a titular imperial throne on this contnent left Toulon for Vera Cruz last Monday evening. In the Senate yesterday Mr. Howard called a resolution instructing the Committee on zn Affairs to report the present relations between France and Mexico as fully as pos- sible. Speaking on the resolution, Mr. Howard declared that the Government of the United States has never made a determined effort to hflng about the withdrawal of the French. The recognition of Maximilian had been re- solved upon as a part of our foreign *policy early in 1865, if we may credit Mr. Howard’s authorities. B imon Cameron was yesterday The Hon. elected United States Senator from Pennsylva- nia to succeed Mr. Cowan. speech made himself Mr. Cameron, in a after his cleetion, declared in favor of striking the word from the Constitution of the and defined Andrew Johnson as tor to his parly, an enemy of his coun- " He repledged himself to the policy of Protection to American Industry. We judge that the Repr ans of Pennsylvania are at to be represented in the Senate. Mr. | time he has left to wrong bis constituents, Our Brazilian corrcepondence shows that the Paraguayan war is to be continucd with re- newed energy, and no prospect of speedy peace. The Brazilian army was waiting for re- enforeements to new the attack, and the Marquis de Caxias had #assumed com- mand and given new spirit to the campaign. The Paraguayan army, on the other hand, is reported to be full of confidence and ready for action. The intcrest in the war should ot cause the important fact to be over- looked that the Amazon River has been do- clared free to merchant ships of all na- tions. The war is nol likely to make any great change in South America; but the spirit of progress, of which this is a proof, will work a peacefnl and permanent revolution. Mr. Bontwell moved yesterday to amend the bill for the admission of Nebraska, so that the Legislature thereof before its admission should sined to declare solemnly their assent to damental condition that there ghall be no 1 distinctions on account of color: This point was debated at length, Mr. Stevens mak- ing one of his most eloquent and logi speeches. He defined the Afherican Republic as either one accordimg to the declaration of Independence or mone at all. He well said that the work which the fathers of the nation postponed was ours to resume and per- fect, and, failing this, we were dwarfs either in intellect or moral courage. Mr. Raymond followed in support of the amendment, without pledging himself to the bill. Mr. Bout- well's amendment was adopted by Yeas 87 to Nays 70, and thereupon the bill as amerded was passed by Yeas 103, Nays G65—a vote in remarkable contrast to the previons one. Thus the Nebraska bill has passed the House, and has to go back to the Senate for concurrence in the amendment. There are two kinds of frecdom in Maryland, one for whites and another for blacks, and the latest example of the difference is the return of two fugitive colored boys to a cruel master, by Judge Wylie, of the Supreme Ceurt of the District of Columbia. The apprenticeship laws of the State niake a distinction of color, and do not require masters to educate black children ; but these features which violate the letter of the Civil Rights bill were vainly urged upon the Court. The Maryland Squeers made the most of his opportunity, allowed the mother of the children, who had been hil' slave, to die in the woods of star- vation, and when the boys .ran away from his persocutions they wepe in a shocking condition. But what ecan we expect l.mm such men as Squeers when Gov. Swann bimself hypocritically lamented, in bis late message, that white eriminals could not be sold into slavery, and congratulated the négroes on that privilege? When insincer- ity goos so far, eruelty s sure to keep up with it. Our special correspondence and published elsowhere, present nmwm summary of news relating to the progress of m Cretan insurrection, The enthusinsm of tho Greoks has been falrly roused in favor of hastoning in large numbers to the aid of - tho Cyetans In their desperato struggles against the Turk. Tho captain of an English gun- boat, moved by sympathy for the suffering Cretans, had received certain fugitives on board his vessel, and conveyed them to a “place of safety. This act has been dis- claimed by his Government, and tho gun- boat withdrawn from Crete. Meanwhile, the -American consul, it is reported, had applied to our Government for permission to employ one of the vessels at his command in removing non-combatants from Creto. Sympathy with the Cretans is spreading on all sides, and it remains to be scen how long the cold policy of neutrality insisted on by England, and approved by other European Powers, will prevail against the claims of the patriotic tans to the active assistanco of their co-religionists in Europe and America. Contributions in moncy in aid of their cause are already flowing in freely. THE SENATE TARIFF BILL. In the House of Representatives, at the last gossion, the Tariff bill as originally reported raised the rates of duty about 25 per centum. This was & great gain for our industry, but the sober caleulatious of the Committee on Ways and Means were swept away in the confusion of debate, and the bill as passed and sent te the Senate was materially changed. Still it was an improvement upon the existing Tariff, and wo should have been satisfied had the Senate adopted it. But the history of I'rotection in the last session is one of dispute and disappoint- ment. The Senate postponed its consideration, and this year the Finance Committee have offered a substitute for the House bill, elabo- rate and thorongh, which still further lowers the average duty upen our imports. Of the points of difference, the following are the more im- portant : The Houso bill imposed a duty of 50 cents on woolen cloths, which the Senate bill would reduce to 45, though it properly retains the duty upon the staple of 10 cents per pound, and 10 cents ad valorem. Cloth importers will demand a etill further reduction, and, we fear, may get it. On carpets, the Senate bill strikes ont the ad valorem rate, and reénacts the spe- cific duty of the present Tariff —a decided rednction from the House bih. On cigars, which the House would rate at &2 50 per pound, the Senate bill places a duty of but £, retaining, however, 50 per cent ad valorem. The duty on flax in the House- bill is 20 per tun ; in the Senate bill it is but $15. A duty of but 8 cents per square yard aud 30 per cent ad valoremn is proposed on linens, while the House bill fised the rate #¢ 6 cents, The du- ties on teas and coffce are doubled by the Senate bill, one of the few instances of an in- creased Tate. The 20 per cent ad valorem up- on books is reduced to 15. fhe Senato bill, however, is much better than the present Tariff, and than that proposed by Commissioner Wells, Cotton manufactures are well protected; the rates of the House bill on stecl, iron, dress-goods, and worsteds are re- tained, and, we regret to add, those on coal. We should not complain if the bill, as it stands, were gdopted by the Senate; for it is not likely to be improved by amendments. Yet the fact that the present Tarfi’ does not prevent our people from expending about £300,000,000 per annum for imports ought to convine that an increase of at least 25 per cent on the existing rates is demanded by our industrial interests, We must protect our manufactures thoronghly if we wonld elevate our standard of labor. Unskilled labor, employed in the rader tois, | does not obtain half the wages paid to manu- facturing workmen, and the real labor-power tariff that shall necessitate its development, To reap the value of our strength, wo must use it, and not depend upon the manu- factures of other mnations. If here is our granary, owr market, here must be our So long as foreign nations, by the help of free t able to keep down the price of Amer tures, the wages of the laborer are kept down, and it is time that every workman in the land should know that the encmics of protection are the instrnments of European monopolies, and that it is they who would give England, Franc nd Belgium wnrestrained permission (o underscll us in our own markets, workshop. Tho stirving pronuncis by Mazzini, furnished to the forthcoming number of The Atlantic Monthly, and printed in this morning's TrisuNg, is one of the most eloguent and characteristic productions which cver came from the pen of the illustrious champion of Italian liberty, It is a scathing denunciation of King Vietor Emmanucl; a review of the part which the monarchy performed in the late war, of the duties which it loft nnfulfilled, the popular hopes which it thwarted, the humilia- tions which it ignominioukly endured, and the crimes and blunders which it committed -at every step. That it rejected the nssistance of the people, lest they shonld acquire the con- sciousness of their own strength; that it pur- posely rendered the volunteers useless in the campaign, repressed or discournged insurrec- tionary movements in the Austrian territories, and fell into military mistakes inmumerable ; that it yiclded a shameful subserviency to France, and accepted Italian territory as a dis- graceful alms from Napoleon; that it finally rested under a ruinous peace, a peace which carries with it the necessity for another —_ these are the chief counts in the indictment which the patgiotic leader brings against the King of Italy. That Mazzini’s disappointment at the resnlt of the late war is shared by a large number of his countrymen there can be little doubt; but that many will agree in his belief that the present monarchy is an evil only a little less than the Austrian despotism, and an evil which must be abolished at an emly moment, we do not admit. Italy knows that she is fast making progress toward national unity under tho rule of her King, and that liberal principles will have a better chance for growth when her divided people are brought together as one great nation. “Monarchical institutions,” says Mazzini, “will never teach republican virtues,” True; but republican principles may gather more strength under the shadow of a throne thay ju fl}? open fieldsfoffa democracy, just as there s ndthing like a fi"" despotism to foster a love of libetw. o R But Mazzini recognizes that the people do not feel the necessity for action; and he well says that the present duty of the democracy is, therefore, education. With this in mind, the friends of liberty in Italy have founded “upon “the ruins of the monarchical delusion a Re- “publican Alliance;” and they call upon all democratic and progressive societies, upon {he workingmen, the young, the chivalrie, and all who cherish a faith in the ultimate regenera- tion and glory of that land which was once tho Iusyrgonts, aud tho youth of Groego aro | sy of Europe, to rully tound thelr flag, “and Congress | of the country cannot be utilized without a| “lorm ono vast union of sctive endeavor and “gaorifice,” SLAVERY IN NEW-MEXICO. Mr. Sumner introduced into the Senate lately a resolution of inquiry “whether any “further legislation is necessary to prevent the “enslavement of the Indians or any system of “peonage in the Territory of New-Mex- “gco.) A similar resolution was offered yester- day in the House. We trust that the matter will bo dealt with promptly and effectually The report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs asserts that the peonage system, either in the ordinary Mexican form of a state of continual imprisonment or service for debt, or in that of practical enslavement of captured Indians, “is the universally recognized mode of “ obtaining labor and assistance” in New-Mexico. There are no fewer than 400 of these Indian slaves in Santa Fé alone, and many of them are, or wero lately, held by Federal officers. The local Superintendent of Indian Affairs, acting under instructions from Washington, notified to the inhabitants of the Territory long ago that under the Proclamation of Emancipa- tion no more captives must be enslaved, and that those already held must be given up; but the slavebolders have mot thus far found it convenient to pay any regard to the law. The circumstances under which theso captives are obtained aggravate the enormity of the wrong, and are of conrse productive of a good deal of the clronic hostility of the Navajoes, from whom the prisoners are generally taken. 1t geems that the white inhabitants are encour- aged by the territorial law to organize volun- teer campaigns—or, in plain English, free-boot- ing and slave-stealing expeditions against the Indians. The plunder is considered the property of the raiders ; 4he captives are to beturned over to the public anthorities. But in practice the captives are generally sold, at a price of from 75 to €400, or are held in virtual slavery. Does any one suppose that these Indian expedi- tions are never undertakenexeept from considera- tions of public safety 1 Does any one believe that in many cases this marauding and man-hunting is one whit better than the slave trade? About 7,000 Navajo prisoners, captured by volunteer ex- peditions, are now held at the Indian reservation. According to Col. Arny, Acting Sceretary of the Territory, they have been abused in the most “shameful manner. Most of them are women, and the best way to dispose of them seems (o be o problem of a rather perplexing nature. e PROTECTION AMERICAN ART. The corporate body of artists known as the “National Academy of Design” has within a few days presented to Congress, by the hands of Senator Morgan, a memorial asking that a gpecific duty of #100 be imposed on each oil painting imported into this country, with an addition of 10 per centum on the excess of value above 1,000 each; and the 73 artists who present this memorial de that its object is the proteetion of American Art. Whoever else, then, may be indiffesent in this matter, wi nuot be so. On the contrary, we feel the deepest interest that the Government shall pur the best course in this matter— best for the public and best for the artists; and we cons it an important public duty to disenss the legislation proposed fully and [ frecly. 1t is no trivial legislation, but will have wide influence on the education of our people, and must seriously affect the condition of an art of vital importance to our national cultnre, We have known of this movement since it was first set on foot. Jt must be now ten | years that a prominent American artist, in the course of n conversation on this very sub- | jeet, declared to us that he thought a duty ought to be put upon foreign pictures, &0 high as to be prohibitive; the interests of Art in America dewAnded, he said, that they should be kept out of the country, and our artists allowed to work without competition. This remark was made at a time when the im- portation of foreign pictures had just begun, and when there seemed no danger that it would ever be excessive. ce then, however, mat- ters have greatly changed. The importation of ch, Belgian and German pictures has become a business of importance, in which large sums are invested. Our readers would be surprised if they knew what prices are demanded and freely paid for choice pictures by the best foreign artists. And it is now an every-day matter for the best works of the best modern Enropean (continental) painters to be imported into this country. We believe that no consideration of too high cost any longer prevents a picture being brought to New-York for sale. “Lhe only question is, Is the subject like to prove at- tractive? If it be, then it is imported; and lately, in the case of one importer, it has fre- quently happened that the refusal of pictures has been asked for, mot by ome but by several fpersons, merely on the strength of the artist's name, before the boxes have been passed at the Custom-House; and no sooner have they been seen than they bave been bonght and carried home. Five years ago, many pictures were brought to New- York and carried; back again to Europe for want of a purchaser, that would now be bought before they had been here a day. Who sup- poses that if Delaroche’s “ Mayie Antoinette,” or his reduction of the “ Hémieycle,” or Ver- net’s “ Joseph and his Brethren,” or Gérome's “Ave! Imperator!” or Leys’ “Protestants listen- “ing to the Reading of the Revoeation of the “Edict of Nantes,” were to come to this country now, they would be allowed to leave it? They.would easily find a dozen purchasers, But the change that has taken place in this matter of foreign pictures has another face. There have been a great number of good pic- tures by men of repnte brought here within the last six years, and within the last three years there have also been imported a great number of trashy pictures by men of no repute. And that is not all. Thero has sprung up a very extensive {rade in pictures pretending to be, and in many cases guaranteed to be, by the second-rate or third-rate artists whose names are signed to them, but which are in reality only clever forgeries of their work. It is well understood that this is true; but the not very surprising fact that the forgeries are often quite as good as the originals, has naturally had a tendency to injure both the legitimate and the illegiti- mate trade in this class of pictures. Neverthe- less, the trade exists; and a dozen painters might be named whose works it would never be safe to buy without a written guaranty, signed by the artist himself—a guaranty which, it need hardly be said, it is in nearly every case impossible to procure, Llc_m. then, are three classes of pictures which are coustantly being imported into our country: the good pictures by men of mark; the poor pictures by painters of littleY merit, by young men, by imitators, &&.5 ‘n:e forgeries of the works of men of established reputation, but of reputation socond-rate. How ought the public and tho 4t to look upon those threg glassey of plotures? Plainly, it seems to us that the first claas is of great value to the public; not merely is it a great luxury, a great delight, but. it is a valuable educator. The pictures of this class enmlarge the public mind, widen its sympathies, lift it wup. They are essential to our culture; they make, a part of our intellectual Yife; now that we have had them, we should feel that we suffered loss to be deprived of them; and we believe it fcould be proved that, so far from hindering the sale of good American pictures, they have helped the sale. Our best men have been getting better and better prices within the last ten years, not worse and worse. We do not now refer to stories of great prices told merely for the sake of creating and bolstering up an unreal reputation; but we mean real prices, such as are easily obtained by Eastman Johnson, Hensett, Huntington, Durand, and other favorites of the public. And we know that the best men we have are no enemics to the importation of pie- tures by such artists as Gérome, Leys, Bou- guerean, Merle, Willems, and Tissot. They study them carefully, recognize their value, and acknowledge that they learn from them. Nothing need be said as to the desirableness of driving out the forgeries, and ruining the trade in them, if i couldbe accomplished ; but the second of our three classes demands consid- eration. It is here, in truth, that the real difficulty lies; and it is from these pictures that our artists, particularly the younger ones, really suffer. No doubt, they lose some orders, and fail to sell some pictures in consequence of the low price of the forgeries; but it is rather the showy pictures of the second class that draw off customers, who think they are getting more for their money—cleverer and more striking works and the charm of a foreign name—a charm as old as the world. In truth, these pictures do no one any good; they are worthless trash; and, if they could be kept out of the ceuntry, no one would have any reason to complain, except the importers. We forego the discussion of the question, in® this place, how far it is well to treat people as babies and lock up matches, and arsenic, and bad books, lest they should eat and read ruin. All we say is, we should have been very glad if these pictures had never come here, and we should shed no tears if they could be prevented from coming any longer. But we think there ought to be diserimination; and we cannot think it sensible to wage war upon all foreign pictures, and drive them all away from the country, because a great many of them are worthless, It is very easy, as it seems to us, to get rid of the bad, and keep the good. We. believe that these cheap showy pictures are doing our -artists—especially the young, rising men—an injury, by drawing off purcha- sors, and we shall be glad to see their impor- tation hindered, if not altogether stopped. But we think the artists who have presented this memorial to Congress have shown a want of wisdom in asking for such an excessive tax. It is, perhaps, no argument against it, that the Treasury will never stultify itself by allowing any measure to pass that deprives it entirely of a certain lucrative revenue. But, suppose that the artists zain what they wish. Then, it willbe plain that the tax is prohibitory not of the poor pic- tures, the cheap pictures, the forgeries alone, but of all foreign pictures. And, whatevera few illib- eral men among the artists may desire, we are suré that no good artist, no man of culture and intelligence among the artists, desires any such result. The public have their rights as well as the artists; and one of those rights is to share in everything that advances educa- tion, excites thought, elevates the mind. No one will deny that Art, worthy to be so called, does these things, Then why, to serve a few men belonging to a certain class, shonld a whole population be cut off from such a privilege? A tax com- paratively small—say #23, or even §15—put upon every m picture, would soon reduce the importations by shutting out the whole class of trashy pictures and copies, while the best pic- tures would continue to be imported. Such a measure as this might have been proposed with some reasonable prospect of success, and we wish the artists might see the desirableness of reconsidering their action. In Yrinciple, we think they are nearly right; but we cannot ap- prove the details of their measure. There is much more to be said on this subject, but enough for to-day. MASSACHUSETTS.

BOOTH IN “THE FOOL'S REVENGE.” Mr. Tom Taylor's three-act version of Victor Hue go's “Lo Roi S'Amuse” was acted at the Wintes Garden on Monday, before an andienge that come fortably filled the honse. The piece is new to this stage, though not new to the habitual votaries of the theater. Its subject has been made familiar by the opora of “ Rigoletto,” and it was itself produced, nearly three years ago, at Niblo’s Garden, when, as at present, the character of Bertuccio was ppersonated by Mr. -Booth. There is scarcely need, therefore, to descant upon the exceedingly painful and even repulsive nature of the drama, The forcible abduction of & woman by a libertine is a8 unpleasant a theme as can easily be suggested— and this is the grand incident of “The Fool's Revenge.” But the cirenmstances of this abduction are so arranged as to afford a tremendons dramatio situation. A father, blindly pursning ven, 18 made toassist at the carrying off of his own daughter. ‘This father is the Fool, and this is his revenge. He, of course, subseqently discovers his mistake—and, when he does 50, he suffers & revulsion of feeling and a shock of agony, to which ne words can do jus- tice. Mr. Tom Taylor has eutirely changed tho cli- max of the onriml French play. Bhe superhumas horrors in which Victor Hugo terminates the Fool's career are wisely lopped off, and the end is made oudurable despite an atmosphere of grea sufforing, Mr. Booth personated Bertuecio last even- ing with extraordinary power, The character gives f!-nt wof: both to his imagination and his sensi hility, calls out, oo, that vitality and 23 whereBy he exercises singular con! ! sue) Gver the gpotions of Dbis hearers. at the Mul«? the second ~aet, Wi m the night sky and in the lonely street, e calls upon his enemy the tortures hat have long rent burned his own bosom, ber of he_seems a veritable fiend—s orrible incarnation of gleeful wickedness and ine sane fury.
