THE FORMATION OF A NEW PARTY.
A New York paper speaking o£ the efforts
to form a new party for the fall campaign.
The ne
copartnership is to embrace Democrats cdli-
servative Republicans, Wnr-Deifiocrats, aud
Johnsonians. It will be a fusion of the ele
ments that are opposed to what is known as
Congressional policy, and it will be backed
by the influence of the Government officers.
The late Cabinet speeches in Washington, it
is stated, were an adjunct of this programme,
and had a wider scope than their reference
to particular localities, for they were intend
ed to apply to the whole country, and to pre
pare the people generally for the extension
of the fusion that is on the tapis in the large
cities. The elements of it will comprise
every political shade that is opposed to the
Congressional programme, and will be backed
by the whole power of the Administration.
As the time for commencing the campaign
approaches, the new arrangement will gradu.
ally be unfolded to the public, as it is ex
pected that by shrewd management, it will
secure the defeat of the Congressional party
in New York and other States.
THE BALTIMORE AMO SAVANNAH
STEAMSHIP LINE.
. .We have been pleased to observe within a
few weeks past evidences of an increasing
disposition on the part oi our merchants and
trade?men to enlarge the commercial inter
course between ibis city %mL Baltimore-
These manifestations have' resulted both
from a wish to multiply the channels of dis

looked by those classes of our people espe

instance, it has been ascertained that ali

. can be purchased a fraction cheaper in Balti-

city, but the preliminaries are being discuss-1 is owjng tQ greater proximily to tbe
ed for such an event, and there is no doubt lrom whcuce the8e articles are
such an alliance will be formed. Tbe ne ” I moslly obtained . It is alleged, that a=ide
from considerations suggested by interest
Baltimore is entitled to a liberal patronage
from tiie South, on account of the noble
manner in which her citizens have responded
to the wants of those of. our suffering people
who have been brought to the verge of star
vation by thc calamities of war.
In considering the practicability of accom
plishiug what is so generally desired by the
business men of Savannah, the question very
uaturally arises,has adequate meaDS of trans
portation been provided for the commence
ment of the anticipated trade of the ensuing
business season ? As the result of iuquiries
upon this point we take pleasure in stating
that the “Baltimore and Savannah Steamship
Line,” which has been in existence for sev
eral mouths, is in good favor with the public,
and is under direction of gentlemen who are
fully informed of the facts we have stated-
This line isowned by merchants of Baltimore
aud Savannah, who form a joint slock com
pany with J. Brandt, Jr. as President. It
was established in November last, and the
steamers thereon, “North Point" and “Fan
nie," continue to make regular weekly trips,
leaving either end every Thursday- We are
assured by the enterprising agents in this
city, Messrs. LaRocbe, West & Daniels, that
tbe tine is permanently established, aud that
a third steamer will be started in August
uext. It connects at Baltimore with steam
ers for Philadelphia, and freights are checked
A similar con
The National Ttpogeaphical Conven
tion.—The fourteenth annual session of this
body convenes in the city of Chicago to-day,
and is expected to be one of the largest ever
held since its organization, some thirteen
years ago. It is composed of delegates from
all the local Unions in the United States—
now numbering some eighty or more—each
Union being entitled to three representatives,
although the greater number seud but one.
It is the most thoroughly organized trades j through to the latter city.
Union in the country, and the laws which | utetion is had with Richmond, with the ad-
ave promulgated by it are generally carefully
prepared and well discussed, in order that
they may not conflict with any local inter
ests either of employer or employe.
In 1861, when the Southern States were
about seceding, the Typographical Unions
South were among, if not the first to withdraw
all allegiance from the national organization,
and at the close of the war they were the first
to return.
At the convention last year, held in the city
of Philadelphia, resolutions were passed in
viting the return of all the wayward members,
and, actuated by the same spirit that con
trolled the President of the United States,
that body extended a general amnesty, and
the result is that most of the Southern Unions
that have been so long alienated will re
turn to the protecting care of the National
Union. Our own State will have four repre
sentatives, namely: Savannah, Augusta,
Macon and Atlanta, with probably more.
The Savannah Union is represented by Mr.
M- J. D vine, of the Advertiser, who left this
city lor the Convention in tbe General Barnes
on her last trip.
The Public Debt.—A letter from the Sec
retary of the Treasury to Hon. John Sher
man was ordered to be printed by the Senate,
together with the accompanying official
statements. FTom the papers it appears that
the amount of the public debt redeemable
May 1, 1867, is 5787,041,420; May 1, 1868,
$407,41-5,250:; May 1, 1869, 3690,428,131;
May 1, 1870, 8148,000,000; Mayl, 1871, $126,-
024,500.
dition of a line of steamships running tli-
Hjstorv of the Alabama.—It is stated
that Admiral Raphael -Scmmes, who is now
in Washington, soliciting a pardon from the
President, that he may accept the office of
Probate Judge, to which he was recently
elected in Mobile, is engaged in a history Of
the Confederate war steamer Alabama, her
cruises and exploits. He has already been
offered $5,000, says the Picayune, for a copy
wright of the work in England, and refused
it. Such a history, written by a clear and
forcible writer like Semmes, the principal
actor, who only has tbe Alabama’s true re
cord, must yield the author a sum that will
compensate him well for his labor. It will
be a book of rare adventure and wonderful
exploits, to say nothing of the light it will
throw upon the war.
Tile Reconstruction Amendment ns it
Stands.
Immediately after the morning hour in the Senate
on Tuesday last, ssys a Washington letter. Senator
Howard arose and proceeded to disclose the results of
the deliberations of the Republican caucus, which for
the last few days has 6eon the constant theme of spefr
illation with both friends and foes. The constitutional
amendment in its new form has been shorn of its
obnoxious features and transformed into ns
and moderate a measure as Republicans could wall
devise. The third section has been expunged sad S
clause inserted in its place disqualifying forsvsr nil
such persons as have, after taking an oath as a
bar of Congress, or on accepting any Federal or Stats
office to support thc Constitution, voluntarily engaged
in the rebellion or given aid and comfort thereto. The
power is, however, expressly reserved by Congress St
any future date to remove suoh disabilities in partion-
lar cases by a two-thirds vote of both Houses. The
first section has been altered so as to declare that all
persons born.in the United states aud subject to its
jurisdiction are citizens oi tlie Unit'd States and also
of the States in which they reside. Verbal amend
ments have been made in the second and fourth seo-
tions aud a new sectu.u introduced providing that all
obligations incurred by the Government in suppress
iug the rebellion or in the payment of pensions and
bounties shall remain inviolate. On a motion of Sen
ator Johnson a unanimous vote to strike out the third
section was carried. Senator Howard then proposed
to continue the discussion on the bill, bnt Mr. Sanls-
bury objected, In behalf of the •Dessocrats, on tha
ground that no notice whatever had been given to the
members of his party of the amendments now offered,

Tho Macon Telegraph, commenting on the modifica
tion of the reconstruction amendment by the radical
caucus, remarks :
There is no reason why the Southern people should
make a “to do” over this vote, or regard it as the
slightest evidence that either branch of the present
so-called Congress has any intention of doing us jus
tice. Tbe hold they took in the first place was ao re
pugnant to the moral seus^bf mankind that they re
laxed for their own sakes, intending, and in point of
fact having previously agreed in caucus, to pass a sub
stitute that the South would be sure to regard as
equally obnoxious, but upon which a two-thirds ma
jority could ba had. For ourselves, we prefer the
ual resolution. Let the centralists “go the whole
hog” and they will only exhaust themselves the
rectly from Baltimore to Liverpool, which aoon< T-. , , ...... , , .
r Ou this particular point, the disuniomsta at Waah-
ington may save themselves all trouble. They will
uc-ver get their amendment ratified by any Southern
State—except Tennessee, aud that is now in possession
of Southern Yankees—aud it is a waste of time to de
liberate about it. The Southern legislator who would
Jure to vote to disfranchise any one of his fellow citi
zens on the ground stated would be unworthy tbe
name of iunn ; and It would be no apology that he
oormnftted the crime In trying to get his State back
into the Union. The people of the South don’t intend
to stand temporizing politicians any longer—men who
for the hope of office would compromise the honor of
heir State and people.

THE RADICALS AND THE OFFICES.
The radicals are evidently in gieat trouble
about “the public plunder.” Tiiad. Steven;
denounced Secretary McCulloch a few days
since iu the House of Representatives for
having said, according to rumor, that he
would appoint no man to office in his Depart-
meui who is not in favor of the President's
policy, lie and his party of disunionists are
terribly afraid they will no longer be per
mitted to drain the National Treasury, as
they have been doing for the past five or six
years. All over tbe country they show the
greatest solicitude for the offices. Thc Union
is nothing in their eyes. The Constitution is
not worth, in their estimation, the paper it
is printed upon. Peace and prosperity in the
future is entirely ignored by them. They
would admit all the Southern States to-inor-
row if they thought they could control the
elective franchise in each of them; and they
keep them out because they think they will
I lose political power by their admission. They

LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Steamer
Maralcw.
Herman a ud
Col. C. A. L. Lamar.
Thc remains ol this gallant gentleman, who
fell in defence of our city in April, 1865, says
the Columbus Sun, have been disinterred and
will be forwarded to-day to his former borne,
Savannah, for burial, iu charge of L. G
Bowers, whose guest he was at the lime he
wus ki led. For more than twelve months,
the place that marked his grave in our ceme
tery has been adorned with floral tributes by
those who eDjoved his friendship in life, and
who cherished the memory of the unselfish
devotion which characterized his death.
Whilst they would have delighted to have
had him rest near the scene of his glorious
end, they yield to the desires of the widowed
and fatherless ones to gather near the bearih-
•tones all that is left ot him once so dear to
them.
The circumstances attending his fall have
established a claim upon the grateful remem
brance and respect of our people which this
humble notice is intended in part to acknow
ledge. The approach of Wilaan’s column
found him a casual visitor to our town, and
in receipt of a dispatch announcing that his
wife and children had just been driven from
house and home by the Federal authorities at
Savannah. Stifling the promptings of natu
ral affection, and rejecting the importunities
of friends,.he declared his intention of shar
ing the fate which threatened our community.
Attaching himself to the staff of the General
commanding, he served during the memor
able Sunday, and fell at the threshhold of the
bridge leading to the city. The impulsive
bravery which adorned his life was sustained
to the last. His imploring peals to our re
treating troops to'rally against the advancing
cavalry, invited the shot which terminated
his life and added his name to the honored
scroll of Confederate dead If in the future a
monument shall be raised here to commemo
rate the virtues and servioes of those who died
in our defence, a peculiar and melancholy in
terest will attach to it by reason of the fact
that on its column will be inscribed the name
oi the last man who fell in the last organized
struggle fot Southern independence.

city yesterday mofniag, and were interred

THE ASPECT OF CONTINENTAL AFFAIRS UN
CHANGED.
U AH COXSIDEREDPROBABLE.
New York, June 3.—Tbe steamers Herman from
Southampton, with dates to the 23d ult., and Maratow,
from Liverpool, with dates to the 22d and Queenstown
to the 23d, have arrived.
A Pans telegram to tho London Post, states that it
has been definitely arranged for s conference in which
France, England and Austria’will be on one side and
Russia, Prussia and Italy on the other aide. The
conference to meet in Pans, with Dronyn D’l Huys as
President.
Thc London Herald says the conference can do noth
ing, and that war is coriaiu without the combatants
become exhausted under the burthen of their prepa
rations.
The Dresden official Journal says the conference
was to meet on May the doth, but that Austria evinces
a disinclination to participate. If she persists in hej.
xlio^relaxation in the military preparsUons
and I he universal feeling is that the preservation of
pacific relations is hopeless.
Prussia has issued a decree that in the event of war
enemies’ merchants ships shall.'not be liable to cap-
ture ou tbe high seas provided a similar rule is
adopted by tbe euemy.
The Austrian commandant has notified the Vene
tians that all -attempts to enlist in the Italian corps
and the encouragement of desertion wiU be dealt
with by martial law.
It is asserted that Austria has refused to discuss
any proposition for tho cession of Venitis.
The formation of volunteers into regiments com
menced ou the 21st of May.
A Vienna despatch says the treaty between Prusaia
and Italy is offensive and defohsive, and continues
till tho end of thc present year.
A Prussian corps Is concentrated at Wellz Keresfort,
Reisse Glizits.
To prove that Prussia accepts the mediation of the
proposed Conference, the departure of tho Prince
Royal and Prince Frederick Charles has been post
poned.
Thc report that au Austrian patrol bad crossed tbe
Prussian frontier is denied by tho Austrian com
mander.
STILL LATER.
Queenstown, May £3—The European crisis is un
changed. The statement that all the powers had as-
sented to the conference Is premature, but the invita
tions have been sent out.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
Lisebpool, May 23.—Sales of cotton for tbe two
of that State, the two forming a new military
department under the command of General
Woods. These changes are what Steedman
and Fullertoh recommended in their report
from North Carolina and Virginia.
General Brannnn is honorably mustered
out of the volunteer service.
Probable Immediate Admission of Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Colorado.—A Wash
ington letter says: It appears that, at the
Senatorial caucus, after having decided upon
their plan of reconstrnction, it was suggested
tiy some of the conservative Senators that as
Tennessee had complied with all the require
ments .contained in the proposed amend
ments, her representatives be immediately
admitted. After considerable discussion it
was finally carried. Therefore, as soon as
tbe proposed amendments have passed both
Houses, a joint resolution will be offered
that inasmuch as Tennessee has complied in
advance with all tbe requirements contained
in the amendment, her Senators and Repre
sentatives bo admitted to their seats in Con
gress. It is understood that Arkansas will
also be included in the resolutions, she being
on a similar footing. It is also proposed at
the same time to admit Colorado over the
1 resident s veto, those Senators who origi
nally opposed her admission having become
convinced that it is better to have her admit
ted now.

Funeral Honors to Lieutenant General
Scott. •
t\ kst Point, June 2.—The funeral ceremonies of
General Hcott were of the most imposing and imprea-
sive character, distinguished persona from all section!
of the country being present on the melancholy occa-
aion. Tbo State and municipal governments ware
alao represented. Respect was paid to tbe memory
the deceased in nearly all the Eaatern cities.
New Yobs, Jane 2.—Intelligence received here
from the Fraiui ii very conflicting. Reports are in
circulation that they had abandoned Fort Erie and
were dispersing. Other accounts state that the Nia
gara river was full of small boats last night engaged
In transporting reinforcements to the Canadian aide.
A Buffalo dispMoh says fifteen hundred British
regnlara had arrived at the Suspension Bridge, aim
ing to capture the Fenians who had vacated their en
campment.
The United States gunboat Michigan is patrolling
tke river, with orders to sink anything attempting to
cross.
Gea. Sweeney was at Buffalo yesterday, bat has
probably left for the scene of action.
Gov. Benton, it it said, will issue a proclamation
to-day warning citizens not to countenance the inva
ders. It is also reported that twelve regiments of the
State militia will be sent to tbe border.
Twelve hundred Fenians have left here for Canada.
Toronto, June 2,10 M A. M.—This morning a force
of volunteers attacked the Fenian encampment near
Bidgeway. Tbe fight became goneral, and a number
were killed, but the resgR is yet unknown.
LATER.
Bufearo, Jnue 2, 11 y z A. JL—Tbe English troops
occupy Fort Erie. It is not known whether the re
ported fight at Ridgeway this morning is with the
Fenians who landed yesterday at Fort Erie, ok with
another party—it is more probable that the engage
ment was with the former.
There is a report that tho English troops are retreat
ing from Ridgeway, but no particulars are given.
Washington, June 2.—Tbe Fenian Headquarters
here for tbe sale of bonds of the Irish Republic, bsa
been closed lor want of patronage.
A company of Fenians have left the city for the
scene of war, and others are preparing to follow.
STILL LATER FROM CANADA.
Toronto, June 2, P. M.—The English version of tbe
tight at Ridgeway is that the attack was made by tha
British troops, who drove tbe Fenians. It is reported
that a number were killed on both sides. The volun
teers were expected to hold their own and wait for re
inforcements to reach them, which were momentarily
expected.
American neutrality is severely censured, and the
people do not hesitate to declare their belief that the
United States Government is in collusion with the
Fenians.
New York, June 2.—The general impression here
is that the present movement of the Fenians ia de
signed to cover the real point of attack, which will be
in the line of the St. Lawrenco river. Canadian troopa
are etatioued along tbe line to preveut thc Fenians
from crossing. The suspension bridge is carefully
guarded, aud strict scrutiny is made of all traveler!
crossing from the American side.
Movements of men towards tbe frontier are reported
from overy pact of the conntry. The town of St. Al
bans in Vermont, is the rendezvous for jeinforce-
ruenta. The 3d Regt. Fenian infantry, 1,200 strong,
and a Fenian cavalry regiment, left’ Boston for that
point yesterday morning. Smaller detachments from
Syracuse, Elmira, Troy, Rochester, Lowell, Ralland,
and other places were continually arriving.
One of Mossby’s guerrillas has command of the cav
alry regiment from Boston, and the Fenians say that
Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee is to command the cavalry wing
of their army,
union were shipped from Columbus, Ohio, within the
last few days for New York, one hundred and fifty
housand for Chicago and thirty thousand muskets for
Buffalo. They are supposed to be for tbe uae of tbe
Fenians.
Head-Centre Stevens has issued a manifesto at Phil
adelphia, protesting against tho present movement of
Gen. Sweeney, on the ground thst it is not desirable
to commit any breach of the neutrality laws by whioh
the United States Government might be compromised.
Brffalo, June 2.—Geii. Grant passed West at noon
to-day. While here he sent tbe following telegram to
Gen. Meade :
Buffalov June 2.
Mej-Gen. Meade, U. 8. Army, Philadelphia :
Gen. Barry is here. Assign him to the general com
mand of the line from Buffalo to the mouth of the

Thud. Stevens Outdone.
Mr. Williams, of Penn., on Monday last, offered the
following preamble and resolution, which, under tbe
rules, laid over:
Whereat, It has been publicly declared by tbe an-
preme executive authority of this nation, in accord
ance with the dictates of sound wisdom, the just in
stincts of humanity, and the undoubted sentiment of
the people of the loyal States, that treason should be
made odious, aud traitors not only disgraced but im
poverished ; aud whereas, it is represented that
while no traitor who has survived the chances of the
battle-field and escaped tbe retribution due to his
erimes at tbe hands of the loyal soldiers of the North,
has been otherwise punished than by the award of
public honors or the remission of disabilities to qual
ity him for the enjoyment thereof, the. memories of
the traitor dead have been hallowed and consecrated
by local public entertainments and treasona
ble utterances in honor of their Crime, which
have not only been tolerated by tbe national
authorities, but in some instances approved, by clos
ing tho pnblio offices on the occasion of floral proces
sions to their graves, while the privilege of paying
like honors to the martyred dead of tbe armies of tbe
Union wbo perished in the holy work of punishing the
treason of those who are thus honored, and restoring
tbe Union of our fathers, has been denied to the loyal
people of these communities by tbe local authorities,
with tbe connivance or consent of tbe military or civil
agents of this Government; and whereas, the enconr-
agement or toleration of such enormities is of perni-
ciousaud dangerous example, insulting to tbe living
soldiers of tbs Republic, as well as to tbe memories of
ths dead, and calculated to make loyalty odious and
treason honorable, and to obstruct, if not entirely pre
vent, the growth of such a feeling as is essential to
any cordial or permanent re-union of these States ;
therefore,
Resolved, That tho President be requested to inform
this House whether any of the military or civil em
ployees of this Government, within tbe State of Geor
gia or any of the other rebel States, have in any way
countenanced or assisted in the rendition of pnbhc
honors to any of the traitors, either living or dead,
who have been waging a parricidal war against this
Government, in commemoration of their great crime,
either by closing their offloes on qpch occasions or
making other favorable public demonstrations in con
nection therewith ; and further, whether the privilege
of doing like honors to loyalty at the graves of the
Union soldiers who have perished far from their
homes and kindred has been in any instance obstructed
or denied by tbe rebel authorities, with the concur
rence or acquiescence of thc officers of this Govern
ment.

An Important Decision.—Some months
since James Eagan, a citizen of South Car

mission of shooting a negro boy, for which .
he .was sentenced to the Penitentiary for life. “
A writ of habeas corpus was issued by Judge
Nelson, of the Supreme Court, and tbe crimi
nal was discharged upon the ground that
such offences can only be punished under tbe
