THE NEWS. The Radical National Convention convened at Chicago day before yesterday. It is i-umored that Gen. Grant has written a letter declining to be a candidate. The new Constitution of Mississippi was signed by the members of the Convention last Friday. The Indian Peace Commission ers have concluded treaties with the Crows, Brule, Sioux, Northern Cheyennes and Arapahoes, all agreeing to peace, and to settle upon the reservation. • Minister Bancroft is at Munich, where he is awaiting the arrival of the “bavarian Prime Minister, with whom he intends entering negotiations for the Nationality Treaty. The Democrats of Mississippi have nominated Governor Humphrey s'fyy acclamation. Washington dispatches contain the old story of rumored Cabinet changes. It is thought Stanton will -Surrenderfirst. Jeff. Davis’ trial is set for next T iPsday. Charles Francis Adams, Min* ister to the Court of St. James, took leave of the Queen at a special audience, on the 14th. Mr. Adams left London soon after- j ward for the Continent, leaving Mr. Moran in charge of the American Legation in that city. The American Equal Rights As sociation met in New York on the I 14th, Elizabeth Cady Stanton pre- I siding. A London dispatch says an ee clesiastieal deputation waited upon I the Queen at Windsor Castle last Thursday, and presented an address from the hierarchy *of the Irish Church, giving their views in regard to the great changes con templated. The Queen replied in vague terms, not committing her self to the policy of either the Church or the Liberal party on the question. The new Tammany Hall will be ready for the use of the Democratic National Convention. A band of Indians made an attack on the Union Pacific Rail road, Kansas branch, about twen I ty miles west -of Cayote. They ' stopped a freight train and barn- j ed three car loads of construction material, and tore down the telegraph wires. Two companies of cavalry 4ere sent in pursuit. Radical papers say that there has been a gathering of prominent Dem ocrats, including Franklin • Pierce. Hoffman and others, at New Ha veu, ostensibly to visit Governor English, but really, it is supposed, to organize a New England movement in favOT- of Pen dletnn. with English as second on tire ticket. General Curtis, special agent of the Treasury Departement. has d «tsoi®d frauds in the importation of lumber from Canada, amounting to nearly? 100,090 in gold

Impeachment Farce % Nearly Ended. Impeachment is “played.” A vote was taken Saturday upon the llth article, and resulted: guilty, 35 ; not guilty, 19. Failing to receive the required twoAhirds majority, the Chief Justice immediately upon the announcement of the vote declared the President acquitted on the 11th article. The Radicals thus beaten upon the point that they had placed the greatest reliance), immediately adjourned until the 26th. The object of this move was to attempt to strengthen the “lost cause,” by bringing to bear upon the recreant Senators, the anathemas of the Radical Convention this week in session at Chicago. The last hope of the impeachers to secure conviction now lies in the admission of the Senators from Arkansas, and probably other reconstructed States. The plan is hardly possible, as to admit those Senators to vote upon the impeachment, without having heard the testimony or argument, would be an outrage that Radicals in the light of recent events would hardly dare face. We had believed from the first indictment of the President that he would be convicted; for we supposed the Managers had assurances that their programme would be carried out, and conviction follow the charge niade-by the House; blit in this we'have been mistaken. There are a few Radicals in the Senate? whose official oath and convictions of justice are stronger than pfirty fealty. All honor to them. They have passed through a fiery ordeal. They have faced one of the most terrible engines of oppression that ever, disgraced a free country —the Radical party — and have come out undefiled. We had expected otherwise, and hence will not refuse them credit. There is some hope for the country so long as a few men in the Radical party will not bow the knee to the great'idol of the party--Radicalism. For this crime, or betrayal of the people, as the/loyal” arc pleased to call it, Chase, Trnmbell, Ross, Fessenden. Grimes, and other recusant members are t.s be ruled out I of the party —ex-communicated i and denounced. Let the ax fall I say we —spare not. They are the I only honest men of the party, and their conduct presents a striking I contrast when compared with that; of their associates—“our” member, i for instance, who wanted to convict first and try Ov John I Peter Cleaver! History will write von an ass.

What is Coining. We take the following acknowledgment from a leading article of a number of the New York Coynmeredited by Thurlow Weed, the “Father of the Republican par ■ ty.” Its significance is such as to | require no comment. Grant, in- j stead of proving a trump card forj the radicals, is now seen to be a< dead weight—a load for 'hem— . and impeachment Las added to the I load :— State Sentinel. “Large cities, like Chicago, Phil- ' adclphia, Boston. Cincinnati, San , Fancisco, and Rochester, have, been wrested from our grasp. Nor is this all? Entire States have' faltered by the way, and withdrawn their siqxport from the Republican party. New York, instead of be ing in the Republican column.' writes under the ineu of fifty; thousand Democratic majority, Pennsylvania, California, Conner-' ticut, and New Jersey, so lately plucked like a brand from the , burning, have likwise relapsed. “The Repi' l,l: “ n: > maioritv of fiftv thousand in Ohio in 1864. has been cut down to less than three thousand, an 1 the State which e ; lected Brough Governor by over one humlretl thousand majority ; five years ago, now has a Republican Executive. whose majority is I loss than that heretofore given by several of the Repnblicanrounties 'of the State. New Hampshire <li- ! minisbesher Republican majority ! and Wisconsin, which gave Mr. J Lincoln twenty thousand majority |in 1854, now gives the anti-Re-i publican ticket forty thousand majority. Tire results are but the shadow i of coining events. A grand daughter of Rev. Al- ■ exander Camplrell, late President of Bethany College, West Virgin- , ia, wa# pal .luted into the Catholic j Church, in the city of Cincinnati, ! by Archbishop Purcell, only a few days since. It will Ire remomber.ed that a celebrated theological | discussion took place upon their respective religions tenets Iretween | the Archbishop and Dr. Campbell | several years since.

Where the Money Goes. . A detailed statement of tlm manner in which the contingent fund of the House of Representatives has been expended, in the year 1867, is .>shown in a printed document which covers 250 pages, and wtfis laid before that body in obedience to a resolution. The following items are taken at random frojn the bill of particulars, and furnished to the State Sentinel by its Washington correspondent : G W Cochran & Co, six bot- \ ties snuff 5 12 00 Ira Goodenow, five hundred street car tickets 25 00 Hudson Taylor, fifty reams gilt note 230 00 E H Holins, board and expen- ; ses during week 174 00 G W Cochran, half dozen Marti nque snuff ~ 12 00 L L Crounse, clerk to committee and correspondent New York Tim'-s 120 00 T T Fowler, twelve thousand five Mildred and seven-ty-four pounds ice for January, “1 SOS ■ 92 91 T T Fowler,, eighteen thousand three hundred and. thir-ty-six pounds ice for February 1868 187 52 N G Ordway, twenty and a. balf dozen kid gloves 615 00 N G Ordway, eighteen white Silk sashes 254 00 N G Ordway, five dozen kid gloves 147 00 N G Ordway, for summoning witness before committee on Southern Railroad 1,620 00 N G Ordway summoning witnessed before Judiciary Committee 1,620 00 N G Ordway, for arresting and bringing into the House absent members 577 80 N G Ordway summoning witnesses before Indian Committee 712 80 N G Ordway, summoning witnesses before Committee on New Orleans tiots 2,392 40 N G Ordway, summoning witnesses before Com nittee on Public Er.pendi- ~ lures N G Ordway, summoning witnesses before Judiciary Committee 1,236 00 N G Oidway, summoning witnesses before Comm'ttee on Pay Department N G Ordway, summoning witnesses before the Committee on Prisoners of War 755 13 And sb go the various sums paid Mr. Ordway, the Sergeant-at-Arms, amounting to many thousand dollars—nineteen out of twenty of which is paid him for constructive services. The list of pocketknives, combs and porte monies, etc., is of fearful length. Expenses of members of Congress during the recess, while on some supposed duty, at eight dollars per day. adds up, or would add thousands. It may be well for the deputation of the House tlmi Clerk has failed to make any additions whatever, or give any dates to the several items of expenditure. The unsophisticated tax payer can form sßme idea of the scale of these expenditures by the statement of the Clerk that he has still-on hand an unexpended balance of 8106,139 92.

_—— Uepubllcnn Tactlcs-Florida. A letter of our correspondent in Florida shows the system of gerrymandering by which the radicals, aided by General Pope, divided that State into new and illegal “districts,” when the delegates for the Constitutional Convention were elected. A synoptical view’is also given of the frauds in registration. I But these, though gross and palpa I ble, were, not sufficient to control ; the election. Hence new and mon i strops conglomerates of voters : were made so as to prevent a fair j 1 expression of Hie public will, even , ; under the system of universal col , ored suffrage. ( - It is thus that the party’ in office seeks to maintain its powers. Be ■ ginning in the north-east, each of the small New England States has .in the Senate a representation e qnal to that of the largest State in the Union, or about six times their ; proper proportion. Similar in-1 justice has been done by admit-1 J ting new States in the West, with j ' population grossly disproportion-1 ed to their representation. A large i portion of the Southern people re main disfranchised. It is sought, bv the universal enfranchisement I • of the ignorant negro, to secure political ascendancy in the South; and again as in Florida, where this effort, aided by registration notoriously unjust, fails, and the people complied with the requireihents of Congiess, the laws of Congress itself were set aside, and the State was divided by its Military Governor into such districts as would insure a negro majority at the election. The case furnishes one more instructive illustration of the | unscrupulous determination to sti--1 fle the fair expression of the popular will, and retain power at any i sacrifice of public justice.—A’cre i York World.

Reports es District Coin« man tiers. Washington, May 13. —General Grant’s communcation to the Senate encloses reports from District Commanders. , General Schofield’s report gives the whole number of votes registered in Virginia at 226,933, of whom 120,111 are whites and 105,832 are colored. Os these 4,417 whites and 12,887 blacks failed to vote on the question of calling a convention. Judging from the list and other data, the number of whites who failed to register is 16,343. There is no report of the number disfranchised in Virginia, under the ReconstructionTaws. General Canby reports 106,721 whitesand 82,932 colored voters in North Carolina, nearly all of whom voted. It is estimated that 29,877 whites and 4,236 blacks failed to register, and of these 11.686 whites are disfranchised. Carolina there are 46,883 whites and 80,550 black voters registered; 10,092 white and 4,167 blacks failed to register, and about 75 per cent, of the whites are disfranchised. In Georgia, 96,333 white and 89,516 colored voters are registered, of whom 60,333 white and 24,756 colored failed of vote; 10,000 whites are disfranchised and 8,500 refused to register. In Alabama there are 61,295 white and 104,518 black voters, of whom 37,158 white and 32,647 colored failed to vote. There are.no data to., show the number disfranchised. In Florida few are disfranchised and nearly’ all are registered and have voted. The number of whitps is 11,911 and blacks 16,079. General Gillem says there is no data kept from which to ascertain the number of votes of different colors in Mississippi. In Arkansas 25,697 failed to vote. General Hancock reports that 45,218 white, and 84,436 blacks were registered in Louisiana. Os this number 5,680 failed to vote, but what proportion the General is unable to say ; nor can he report how many are disfranchised. In Texas 55,633 whites, and 49,497 colored voters were registered, of whom 1,757 whites and 36,932 blacks voted. The number disfranchis£dcan_umibe ascertained.

The Washington Intellujerifier of the 18th inst, prints a letter from ex President Pierce upon the coining nomination of the Democratic party. He speaks of Pendleton, Seymour, Hendricks, Doolittle and Hancock in the highest terms, and in the order named, and con tinues as follows regarding them : “If it be not singular, it is at least very fortunate that such gentlemen as you name should be the five cicizefiS toward whom the entire mind of the country is® now turned and apparently concentrated. With either of these patriotic citizens at the head of national affairs, I feel a perfect asurrance that everything would be done that can be done by man to arrest the surge of constitution-defying Radicalism, and restore fraternity and peace, unity and prosperity to to republic.” The report of the Episcopal Diocese Missions for Pennsylvania states that in 1849 there were in the whole State 105 clergymen and 110 parishes of the Portestant Episcopal Church. The last twelve years have added more than sixty, parishes and sixty-five clergymen. In the same time the number of communicants has in creased from 11.000 to more than 25,000 ; and leaving ouQjiew York, this.is a larger numberthan there was in all the rest of the United States at the death of Bishop White, in 1836. The New York Constitutional Convction cost the State 8500,000.
