I ( An important amendment has ( been made to the bill for the pro- : , tect ion of the rights of American < citizens abroad, retaining, howev- , er, the amendment of the Senate , Committee providing that the.. President shall notify Congress’, if in session, of all the facts con- ’ ( nected with the arrest and ini- I prisoninent of our citizens abroad ' that it may take such steps as may be necessary; but providing if Congress is in session for the retaliatory measures of Mr. Banks’ ' bill suspending commercial relations. ' The Chicago Times Washing- ' ton special, of Monday says dele- ! gates from the southern States to ' the Democratic convention are daily arriving. They generally express themselves as willing to 1 defer to the North and West in the 1 election of a candidate. Thad Stevens new article# of impeachment are flushed and intype, but are refused the press.— They will be presented, it is thought, Wednesday or Tlrnrs day. Mr. Cobb ofTerc! a resolution in I Btructing the Ways and Means committee to report a bill levying a tax of ten per cent, on the inter cst of United States bonds, to be assessed and collected annually by ; the secretary of the treasury, which ' passed the House by 92 against 54. The first count in the new indictment against John 11. Surratt charges him with conspiring with Booth, Payne, Harold, O'" Laughlin,. Arnold, Atzeroth and Mrs. Surratt, to murder Abraham Lincoln. The second count char- , ges him with conspiracy to captiirc Mr. Lincoln and deliver him as a prisoner into the possession of certain persons whose names are unknown to the grand jury. Radical Economy. The Chicago Times says that the tax assessed to pay for Radical rule in the city of Chicago, a mount to four and one-half per cent, of the taxable property of the city. The same authority says that it cost some 83,500 -ttj TrinTT u certain side-walk in one of the divisions, while some 84,500 was paid tlie Radical Inspector for in sporting the same.

Political Items. • The bondholder's candidate — Grant and Colfax. * The Indianapolis /Sentinel says * ailady lately inquired for a whiskey ring at a jewelhry store at Indian apoli’s, and was referred to Wash1 ington. For further particulars inquire of Peter Cleaver Shanks, M. C. The Radicals used up all their economy in making their platfdrm, hence its entire absence in legislation and the practical administration of the Government. Professions cost nothing. Brick is advancing in Washingtom Grant uses so many in his hat. It is said that Ben Butler has quit the impeachment buisiness, having sold out to Thad Stevens, who will continue the show at the same old stand. Ben. will resume his old practice of .spooning. The Toledo BUule is in trouble. Some of the negroes down South are troubled about alarming symptoms of “going back” on the carpet baggers. Think of it; dis- I loyal niggers. Horrible! Alas for reconstruction ! Where's Nasby ? The Radicals at Washington are experimenting with an old locomotive called General Grant.— They pretend to say they can economize largely and mtike agreat saving in fuel by using spirit us /rumen ti and benzine in getting up steam. They should be encouraged. It is the first symptom of economy wehave noticed. Wc expect Parson Jones will illustrate this point of Radical economy in his next. The Committee on Ways and. Means wieh is largely Jacobin, has concluded to postpone the various financial schemes relating to the public debt until after the Presidential election. There is something “rotten in Denmark,” Congressman Blain, of Wisconsin, recently attempted to smuggle through Congress a bill to arm and equip the negro militia of the South. The Democrats, however were on the akrt, and it was withdrawn. It proposed to fur-j nish eacho. Congressional District with 2,000 Springfield rifles and two field pieces. ’/The rascals! Grant isagout to start on an, electioneering tour. Will he have | the decency to resign, and to pay his own expenses while stumping the country ? If Grant gets as many votes as he sacrificed federal lives in his military career, he will not run so very far behind his democratic competitor at thecoining clection. — ♦ » — The subjoined will show how tire will of the people rules in Georgia: “Headquarters Sub-Dist. or Ga.

There is a great deal of this feel-~ ing abroad among the “loyal,” and it adds very much to the apprehension of Tyicrization in case <1 rant should be elected.
