Tri-Weekly News and Herald, MONDAY MORNING. JULY 2.1866. GOVERNOR HAMILTON, OF TEXAS. Directly after this gentleman delivered his very radical speech in Texas—similar in de nunciatory style to Underwood’s charge to the Jury in Bicbmond—he was announced as being on his way North. This speech was a sort of an avanl courier to prepare for his pleasant reception by the radicals. The ar rival of the Governor in Washington has been announced, where he teas received with manv demonstrations of affection by his rad ical friends- It would seem from a Texas paper that there is much truth in the saying “that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country," for it congratulates the people there upon the departure of the Gov ernor, nine-tenths of whom, it says, have felt nothing but the most utter abhorrence for his sentiments and speeches, and for his general temper toward his fellow-citizens ever since his return to the State. It de nounces him as a bold, bad man—an eueniy to the people of his State, an enemy to the Constitution of the United States, an enemy to President Johnson, and an enemy to the peaceful restoration of the Union. Te»tiau>ntal of Respect. At a meeting of the resident students of the Baltimore Infirmary, held June 23d, relative to t he death of Mr. E. C. Kpllock, of Savan nah, Ga., N. S. White was called to the chair. After soma appropriate remarks, on motion, the chair appointed Messi'3. W. S. McSherry, M. M. Walker and G. W. Jones, a committee to draft resolutions. The following were reported and adopted: Whereas, an all-Wise God has seen fit to to take to himself from our midst our much beloved friend and classmate, Edward C. KoLLotK whose religious habits, gentleman ly bearing and studious exertions won the admiration of all who knew him There fore. Be it Resolved, That, though we humbly submit to the will of a just God, we sincerely mourn the loss of our associate, in whose death the family have been deprived of a true and worthy member, society one of its bright est ornaments, andjhe profession a promise of a shining light. Resolved, That we earnestly sympathize with his relatives in their affliction, assuring them that we participate iu their sorrow. R^sok-ed, Tint we wear the usual badge of THE PKESIDirsV AND CONGRESS. A Washington correspondent states that a caucus of the Senate members of the Recon struction Committee ms held on the 25th instant, to see what disposition should be made of the special message of the President on the Constitutional Amendment. After considerable discussion it was determined that the matter should be disposed ol before the full Committee at a subsequent meeting.— Senators Cowan, Norton and Doolittle were not invited totake part in the 'Chucus. The Radical Senators are very indignant with the (COXMUKICATED.) The Florida Connection. . The citizens of Bavin ash znd the directors of fee Atlantic znd Golf Railroad, in the prosecution of their projected, an denow almost certain, Florida connection, could ash for no more favorable argument in behalf of their enterprise than that offered Uv the Florida Union in its issue of the 23d June, and alluded to in the edi. torial column of the News ani> Hekali> of the 29th instant. The editor, seeking to impress upon the people of liis State the importance of fostering and developing their own resources, admits the wisdom of I he State of Georgia, and her “prosperous seaport city, “in their extended railroad policy, and which now seeks ■by comprehensive grasp of commercial sagacity*’to President for sending a message when the extend its power by tapping the railroad system of been submitted to him | # natural result of such a policy, the Union claims mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to tfio family of the deceased, also «». «* l0 make be 88 ars of them. It will published iu the Baltimore Gazette and Sun. Wu.« Taxes we Pay.—A Northern paper gives some interesting siatistics, which are of special interest just now when it is proposed to pledge the taitli of the Government to the payment ol the debts of “friendly re publics." The public revenue from taxes, direct and indirect, during each of the fiscal years 1865-6 afid 1866-7 is officially estimated at $525,000,000, say S16 50 per head of the total population of the United States—being thirty-four per cent, more than is paid by the popuiaiiqJHEUlMlfaAiU^iP am ' Ireland, and about ■ OftSHiunlKJRifelK 1 iBore than is paid by t that when Ji of July oration, refers to potism" of the Old World, it will prudent to omit the usual sarcastic allusions to “tax-riddeu people." amendment had no! for approval. The New York Times (Republican) justi fies the act of the Executive, and says if the amendment had been left after its passage to take its usual course, the President would have bad no occasion to express his opinion in regard to it, or to send in any message at all. Bnt this would not answer. 8c a joint resolution was passed directing Mr. Johnson to transmit the amendment to the States. The receipt of such a resolution made it ne cessary for him to make some reply. He had said nothing, directly or indirectly, to Congress upon the subject. But as he had done precisely what Congress directed him to do, three days before the directions were is sued, it seemed not only proper, but essen tial that he should inform them of that fact; and as Congress seemed inclioed to infer that he would not send the amendment to the States unless he approved of it, it was quite proper that he should correct their impres sions on this point. So far from the Presi dent thrusting bis message upon Congress, as it is charged, the President never indi cated the slightest purpose to do anything of the kind until Congress itself invited, and in fact forced him to do it. A CHANGE OF TONE. There are several Southern railroad d ic tations in Cincinnati looking after the inter nal improvement and interests of tiiei; res pective sections. The merchant , .u.d ■. »des men of that city are manifesting a strong sire to increase commercial intercourse w iih the South by the building of new roads on more direct lines, to economise time aud les sen the cost of transportation. The leading radical paper of that city, the Gazette, ad monished doubtless by popular sentiment, has vert’ suddenly changed its tone in res pect to the Southern people. It now dis claims any desire to degrade the Southem- he hard to make the Southern people be lieve that those entertaining the princi ples of the Gazette and kindred sheets, not only desire at heart to degrade them now, but to keep them in degradation for many years to come. Is it not degradation to pre vent them from having a voice in the coun sels of the nation, now that the war is ended and peace is declared ? Is it not degradation to say by your conduct that you believe them to be false and insincere, and will not ac cept of their professions of loyalty to the Constitution? We have very little faith in the sympathy of the Gazette for its “ erring Southern brethem.” We suspect, its present professions towards us are put on as a sort of the benefit of the Southern ng them representing iterests, and it will no at its full value. Revolution and a Wab of Races iu be Stirred up is Texas by the Radicals. The preseuee in Washington of Provisional Go vernor Hamilton, of Texas, has been men- The object of his visit at this time is disclosed by the following letter recently received in Washington, and which the cor respondent of the Herald communicates to The Herald's correspondent says A Murder in Camden Ooustt.—We learn from a gentleman who arrived in this city last evening by the Gulf road that Dr. H. | tinned Eaton, residing in Camden county, in this State, was killed last Monday night by h squad of negroes, who called the deceased oat of his uouse and shot him down as he i iris paper. approached them. Considerable excitement | that the writer and recipient are alike well prevailed amoDg the negroes in the neigh burnojd on Monday morning, the origin of which is noi known to our informant, which led, doubtless, to the murder at night. The civil authorities attempted to arrest the murderers on Tuesday, but were successfully resisted by a mob of negroes who proclaimed that the guilty parties should not be arrested. It was reported, however, that the Sheriff had raised a sufficient posse on Wednesday to arrest the murderers and their accom plices. a New View of the Question.—The Wash ington Republican argues that if the doc trine of Thad. Stevens and his reconstruction mittee be true, the Federal Government is bound to pay the debts of the Confederate States. “ We suppose [says the organ] no principle of law to be better settled than an}’ government entitled to be respected as that of an independent State in Christendom, may lawfully contract debt3, and that for debts contracted in the name of the State, by its authorized agents for its public use. the succeeding government is liable. The doctrine is that the government which suc ceeds to the fiscal rights of anothor is bound to fulfil its fiscal obligations.— Wheaton's In tcrnational Law, page 41.” Forney (.the dead duck) has announced himself a candidate for a seat in the United States Senate from Pennsylvania, in the place of Mr. Cowan. Dan Rice, the circus clown is said to be a candidate for the house of Representatives, the body in which oldiThad. Stevens is ring master. An exchange thinks the Senate has about got down to Forney’s level. The humor of the House will be improved when J>ai» Rice becomes a member.

Railroad Convention at Columbus—We learn that His Honor, the Mayor, ha? ap pointed the following named yentlemeu delegates to the Convention to be held at Columbus, Ga., on July It, 1866; called for the purpose of taking steps for completing ihe Memphis and Savannah Railroad : Alder man Francis L. Gue, J. F. Gilmer, and Hiram Roberts, Esqs. The Rome Courier is informed by one of the justices of the Inferior Court of Floyd county, that there are now iu that county between eight, hundred and one thousand white persons destitute of bread—most of them widows aud children—who sre not in cluded in the class for which the Legislature made an appropriation. _From the atatiatica of emigration to the port of New York we learn that during the year 1865, 614 vessels landed at Castle Garden 200,000 passengers.— Of these Germany contributed 83,451; Ireland, 70,462; England, 27,286; Scotland, 3,962; Switzerland, 2,618; Sweden, 2,337, and France, 2,069.

"His speech will be the signal for a for more violent and vindictive crusade against the President and the South than has heretofore been waged; and the plan is to Minimou whites aud blacks to the polls to exer cise the divinely cou lerred and inalieuuble rights of participation in the Government. “Mvinformation is direct aud unquestionable. \Y.” (communicated.] To the Editor of The News and Herald: In consequence of the judgment affirmed in the letter of the Hon. D. C. Whitman, Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue, which was published in the Republican of the 23th instant, the City Treasurer is com piled to deduct five per cent, from the cou pons on those city bonds which were issued for the purpose of aiding the construction of railroads. Thera are other bonds which were issued for different purposes, such as the construction of water works, the purchase of tbe Springfield plantation, aud the improvement of the Savannah River.— These are not subject to the tax, and the public should take note of it. But the coupons on the various bonds cannot be distinguished the one from that the Stale of Florida may yet profit by available opportunities, end in defeating the projected “Florida connection," and by combination of intervals retain to the Eastern seaports of their own State the trade of $18,000,000 (now threatened with diversion to the city of Savannah), and thereby raise them by easy process to all tbe importance and prosperity that the city of Savannah claims to offer in itself as an inducement to this traffic. * We commend the spirit of State pride with which the Union has advanced to battio in behalf of the pros perity of his own State; but we claim the privilege, as her nearest and most intimately interested neighbor, of assisting him in the process of developing the mag nificent resources of his “gallant little State," and this we now offer to do through the medium of the “Florida connection.” In advising any obstacle to this scheme the Union will defeat itself. In proposing counter influences to this enterprise, the U uion claims as a result that the retention of the en tire trade of Florida to its own seaports will create 8 basis of commerce upon which will arise all the advan. tages of capital, enterprise, and population, iu as speedy a manner as that instanced in the city ot Sa vannah, “which in a few years laid the foundation of that prosperity that has lifted her from the ]>opulatiou of 6,000, with a limited local commerce, to that of 30,000 inhabitants." We would here remind the edi tor of the Union that, for many years afier the com' pletlnn of the Central, Georgia and Souih Carolina Railroad, those three grand trunk railroads which constitute the base of that magnificent system of rail ways that now etretch sway their iron arms Nor tig West and South, they failed to sustain the hopes and promises of their projectors. And why ? Because of their isolation. Not until a liberal policy of co-opera tion and extended enterprise brought them into com petition did tbe extensive traffic arise which so fully justified the hopes of their projectors. Increased facilities brought increase of business. In tills hour ot realized Hope did [he management of mi, one of these respective roads over propose to in- t.-i rupt the enterprise and extension of the others? When the Augusta Si Waynesboro' road was project ed, it proposed to tap tbe Central railroad at a point near midway between Macon aud Savannab, thereby offering a route for the diversion of trade towards Augusta. Did the City of Savannah object 7 Did she object because Charleston was brought into connec tion with Macon and in competition with Savannah. Or did she yet object to the construction of the Char leston A Savannah railroad which offered to transfer trade from her very storehouses ? The railway system of Florida is a magnificent one, hut it is isolated. Cat off as it is from all connection with the railroad system of Georgia, and that of the United States, it may be operated for years without the results justified by its conception. The Florida connection will make railroads of Florida a part of the great system of the country, and prosperity become stimulated through the more Important arteries of trade. Not only to West and Middle Florida are advanta ges offered by this connection, but also to East Flor ida, which, through her accessible seaports, will be brought into competition with Savannah for the trade of Thomas, Brooks, Lowndes and the entire section of South-West Georgia, Into direct communication with Tennessee and Kentucky and eventually overland, through Mobile with ti e vast -alley of the Mississippi. “ Competition is the life oi bade.” Sort!; Jackson ville and Feruandina annc; object to these addi tional opportunities for tie exchange of commodities. The completion of this Florida connection will bring more prominently into notice the advantages of the route from New Orleans by steamer to St. Ma- ks and thence by rail to the Atlantic coast, and by steam or sail to the North and abroad. It, iu truth, tbe seaports of Florida offer in them selves, points of greater accessibility than Savannab, why should they fear competition with tbe latter place? Should they not rather led indebted to the outlay of capital that makes them a point ot delivery in common with Savannah, for those commodities by rail, which during tbe last year have been -cut to them tbranch the old established agency of wagons. The now a ini-monthly line of si earner- to New Or leans from St. Maiks. will be exchanged for a seiiii- weckly, perhaps adaily ..uc, and iu the g.-ueral pros perity -lid activity of trade thus engendered, Fer- nandma and Jacksonville will receive no, inconsid erable -hare of tbe resulting profits. We do not propose to contrast the advantages or ac cessibilities of the respective ports, they have been well stated to the public and are fully known, bnt simply to remind onr friends of Jacksonville that the State of Florida is just beginning to dcvelope the rich stores of ber fertile domain and will ere long be ena bled totake such a position iu the coni merce and trade of the world as her energy anil etitirprizo eiuitlo her to sv- M *«**• Onr Washington Correspentaiee. (From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, June 26th, 1866, The call for a National*Couveution of the esnaen* tive# of the country excites a great deal of aoment among the politicians. It is understood to be an ad- ministration mo v e. The president haa been and la in the worst position imaginable. With the Cangrean against him in almost a solid body—with nearly aU hia own cffioe-holdere against him—his poaibon has been extremely embarrassing. His effort has been to buUd up a great conservative party, with a new n *** > *' free from the odium attached to the Democratic party. These efforts hithe- *o have not been very auocetoftu, as the radicals have control of the Republican org zation, and the Democrats insist on clinging to their own party. Now it is sought by a National Dnwven- tion to fix things in this respect. This ft essential to success against the radicate. This ft the lastchance. An important feature of this call is, that it invites the South to participate iu the cou vention. Some persona of judgment in these matters regard the convention as a great movement, from which'tbe most Important consequences may result. The tariff reported by the committee ft the nearest approach imaginable to the Japanese policy of non- intercourse with foreigners. The object is to prevent importation, and give the home manufacturers exclu sive control of homo market. The iron and steel men are not, however, satisfied; they think the duties are uot high enough. The iuttuence on the finances Of the country must, it is thought, be very bad after awbile. If there are uo importations, it is asked how we wili have exportations f Then how ft the interest due iu gold on our bouds iu Europe to bo paid? Some very sapient financier haa proposed to pay this inter est in paper. But the foreign creditors will not be much enchanted at this idea. The financial prospects ahead of the country are as threatening as the politi cal. The radicate are driving everything as test as they can to the precipice. Their ideas on finance are as crude as their political notions. With a thousand millions .of paper money floating about, and over three thousand millions ot indebtedness, and gold fluctuating from 1.26 to 1.C0, the salvation would be naturally critical, but under radical management it U alarming. It is thought, that Gen Rousseau will be expelled. Two witnesses Tiave been sworn who say they were present at the fracas, by p rerious notice, to take part in It, if necessary. Mr. Pollard, of tile Examiner, was here yesterday to see about tuu public printing which had been given to his paper, aud was abont being taken away, in part, at least. The special resolution, based on ao article in the Examiner, corlainly assigns a good deal of im portance to that paper. Pollard is an earnest man, aud ha 4 , to use Talleyrand's expression, too much zeal for a diplomatists. Hu downright way is constantly getting him into scrapes. He had an interview with Mr. Seward while here, who talked to him in a very satisfactory manner. By-ttae-bye, Howard has become a great conservative. There is a fierce war going on between Seward and the radicals. They charge that he bates the party because Lincoln was nominated over him at Chicago, and that he is trying to break it up. The proposition made in the Senate yesterday to pay all loyal men. North and South, for property taken fur the use of the army is one of vast importance. It meets with strong support from some of the extreme men. It is an encouraging sign to see a proposition made in Congress to do justice to any part of the South. It is said officers of the army of the Confederacy are applying to the Italian minister to get positions in the army of Itaty, in case the war breaks out in Europe This is certainly a good opportunity for all Confeder ates, who are not content with their experience in war. But one would suppose a reasonable man ought to be satisfied with what fighting had beeu done, for a while, at least. The Congress are determined to build a new Execu tive mansion. The idea is to build it on the outskirts of the city, and have a grand park around it. There the American King is to live, and bis office ft to be where it now is, and he is to ride in every day and be iu bis office between certain hoars. The present loca tion is not healthy in the summer, and the building aud grounds are nut considered grand enough for a people who can get up such a big civil war and con tract bucH a huge debt.
