"V" 1 M.-W Savannah News and Herald. BY S. W. MASON. iAMt'KL W. MASON, Editor, i\ . T. THOMPSON, Associate Editor. Odiciat Papers of the City. MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1HG6. 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 LARGEST fllSCOl ATIOH IN THE CITY AND COUNTY 1 taut lrade and an /"^‘SchhadS ovef ! several important facts wtuen uaa uctu over looked by those classes of our people espe cially interested in their significance. For instance, it has been ascertained that ali heavy articles of subsistence, such as flour, corn. bacoD, pickled beef, butter, lard, &c., . can be purchased a fraction cheaper in Balti- says no fusion has yet been .effected m that ^ [ban in more Northern cities ; and this 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, THE FENIANS.

The question then poitpffprA till Wednesday. , w 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. admits of the shipment of freight from Sa vannah to Europe by the Savannah and Bal timore line- in this connection we should mention the fact, which appeared in the Baltimore pa yers a short time since, that the “Baltimore and Savannah Steamship Line” has done much for the poor of Georgia, having brought to this city, free of all charges, the bulk of 1,200 barrels ot flour, bacon, meal, Ac., from the Ladies’ Southern Relief Association at Baltimore. 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.

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. The remains of Col. Lamar reached this city yesterday mofniag, and were interred yesterday in Laurel Grove Cemetery. The funeral was attended by the relatives and friends of the dg of our -Tspiiitnfifci two Carolinas together form a military de partment under the control of Gen. Sickles.

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 Niagara river.

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.
