MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

(From the Anglo-American Times)
A telegram from Washington, dated May 27,
announces Mr. Stanton's resignation, and the in-
stallation of Lorenzo Thomas as Acting Secretary
of War ad interim. 'We can merely guess- at how

it happened, the cable only sending the result. It
may be that Mr. Johnson no sooner felt himself a

little firmer in the seat from which he had been so
nearly shaken than he again collared his old adver-
sary, and, in .Lorenzo's own words, " kicked that

fellow Stauton out." Or it may be that Stanton
(the true victim of Impeachment), after his long
and tenacious hold, which, as he says, " He only
consented to retain on the most positive pledges of

the impeachment and removal of the President"—
lost heart, and, in expectation of another visit

'rom Lorenzo Thomas, sent in his resignatiln,

which, in truth, he earnestly desired to do. By the

Last accounts he was represented as feeling much

chagrined at the probable failure of the trial. How
is it that no one ever thought of his rights ? Had

he not rights as well as Andrew Johnson? Is a
Cabinet Minister to be nothing and a President
everything? The War-office is that to which
rumour has assigned " Andy Johnson" in case of
the formation and success of the new party. We

would like to see how he will act when, as Secre-

tary of War, he fights Chase as President.
According to 'Messrs. Neill's report, dated May
23, the we€k's receipts of cotton were 9,000 bales ;
since Ist September, 2,097,000 bales. Week's ex-
port to Great Britain, 19,000 bales ; since Ist
September, 1,189,000 bales. Week's exports to the
Continent, 7,000 bales ; since Ist Sept., 435,000
bales. Total exports for the w eek, 26,000 bales ;
since Ist September, 1,624,000 bales. Stock at all
ports, 160,000 bales.
The flow of money from New York to Europe
still continues, and even on an increased scale. Ou
the 21st of May the outgoing steamers took $500,000
in specie ; on the 23d, $1,000,000 ; on the 26th,
$425,000. By a telegram, dated New York, May
27th, it was announced that the Inman steamer City
of Paris, which left on the 23d inst. for Liverpool,
took $1,250,000 in specie, but we cannot say whether
this was included in the large sum already an-
nounced as having been shipped on that day. On
the 27th $lOO,OOO, and on the 28th $250,000 in
specie were despatched.
The Republican State Convention of Illinois as-
sembled at Springfield on the 13th May, and passed
the following resolution :--
"Resolved, That we denounce all forma of repudiation
as a national crime, and that national honour requires the
payment of the public indebtedness in the utmost good
faith-t&all creditors at home and abroad, according to the
letter and spirit of the laws under which it was contracted."

The great Prairie State, the Queen of the \Vest—
a land in truth flowing with milk and honey—re-
pudiates in the strongest and tersest language the
repudiators, and gives the lie to those who assert
that greenback redemption is the cherished offspring
of the West. This is the first State in which the
Republican party has taken bold and decided

ground against repudiation, and it was but the
forerunner of the great National Convention which
met in its leading city, Chicago, and laid down the
resolution as a plank in the Republican platform.
A London paper has strangely confounded the Re-
publican Convention held at Chicago with that
city, speaking of the influence given to the assem-
bly by the prosperity and high commercial charac-
ter of the town. It might as well confound Par-
liament with the City Council, or talk of the influ-
ence of Frankfort on a gathering of Ministers
Plenipotentiary from the Courts of Europe to settle
some great continental question. The Republican
State Convention of Illinois was held at the State
capita►l, Springfield, Illinois, and the Republican

Convention of the United States, to nominate can
didates for thePresideucy and Vice-Presidency, and
to lay down their platform, assembled at Chicago,
Illinois, on the 20th May.
George Francis Train writes from " The British
Bastille" to his dear Revolution, which accuses him
of sending all his letters to the World. George's
imagination seems to be peculiarly active in the Bri-
tish Bastille. " Hark ! don't you hear the bugle
sound ? List! it is the whistle of the Chassepot,
the needle-gun of France. Keep still, America ;
but vote greenbacks. Keep quiet, my country, but
stir up the people. The Revolution has just be-
gun." Russia and Prussia are about to march
against Austria, France, and England, and of course
the British Lion is to come to grief in the tussle.
George Francis always sees the British Lion in its
agony. Indeed if the poor brute suffers all that Train
pictures it might well term its life a prolonged
death struggle. "In this changing of property
England will lose Ireland, and America will spring
ahead to her divine destiny. As America goes up
England will go down. The Greek fire at Buck-
ingham Palace will be seen burning under all the
royal banquet halls. Read the judgment of the
prophet Daniel on Babylon." Why is America to
go up as England goes down ? There is no clash-
ing interest whatever. He would not be a wise
green-grocer who cut the throat of the eater of cab-
bages, or sang a song of triumph over the bank-
ruptcy of the customer who appreciated his com-
modities as Train does :—" Her plate is all mort-
gaged. The bailiffs are in the house. Judgment
on judgment has been accorded. All England is
in a Four Courts Marshalsea.'" And George
Francis Train is out.
Although the Chicago Convention approved the
Impeachment of President Johnson, the effort has
evidently failed to procure from it the adoption of a
resolution demanding his conviction. Although the
impropriety of such a course is plainly apparent
here, so strong did party feeling run, so unscrupu-
lous were the office-seekers engaged in the desperate
effort to bring Wade in at any price, they were little
deterred by that, and the pressure upon the Con-
vention must have been great. Had it given
way, it would have been a declaration of war
against many of the most influential men
among the _leaders of the Republican party.
The nomination of Hr. Colfax is a clear indication
that the Wade party was used up by the time the
Convention met. They had kept up so full a-head
of steam, and maintained for so long a period the
highest pressure, that it was no wonder that they
were exhausted when the crisis came. Perhaps the
Convention was influenced by an earnest desire to
reunite the party. It could scarcely have withheld
its approval of Impeachment; and, in going no
further, and, in nominating Colfax, the feeling is
indicated against the extreme Radical section,
though the Speaker is, in truth, a strong Radical
himself.
The New York Citizen favours General Hancock
for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
It says that the Copperheads howl and shriek, but
that the General's strength is so apparent that the
blind may almost see it. From every section of the
Southern States the nomination is hailed with satis-
faction, and the only hesitation is that, whether a
portion of the country that cannot help the elec-
tion of the candidate should take part in his nomi-
, nation, the States that can do least for Pendleton
being most clamorous in his behalf. Virginia,
Texas, and one or two more of the Southern States,
may, it thinks, be carried by the Democrates, and

the delegates from Pennsylvania and Missouri are
avowedly for General Hancock, while New York
will support him at the polls by 30,000 majority.
Ohio and Connecticut will go for him, whilst re-
fusing to endorse a Copperhead. It thinks that the
New I ork TVorld is at heart in this movement,
though considering a premature announcement im-
politic ; and the South sees clearly that it is better
to win with Hancock than lose with Pendleton.
The Albion speaks of Admiral Farragut and Charles
Francis Adams as a good ticket to run against Grant
and Colfax. There are indications that Governor
English is to be pushed for Vice-President.
There has been a split among the advocates of
woman suffrage, promoted by a statement of Wen-
dell Phillips that woman suffrage must remain
subordinate to the negro question, which Mrs.
Stanton of the Revolution sharply criticized, while
Anna Dickenson defended Mr. Phillips. This was
f.l:owed by a fight at the meeting of the Equal
Rights Association, where Mrs. Rose termed Mr.
T. W. Iligginson " a flimsy young man," because
he thought wo:nen as b.td as men, and would as
often vote wrong. But the great mill was over
George Francis '['rain, who was attacked by Lucy
Stone Blackwell for making the negro question in-
ferior to the woman question, and by Frederick
Douglass, who disapproved of Train calling the
African " a nigger." He described Train as a
comet, and declared that negro suffrage had been
defeated in Kansas and Minnesota chiefly through
him. Mrs. Stanton defended Train, as well as her-
self and her paper, and she was aided by Susan B.
Anthony and Olympia Brown. Mrs. Stantoa had
been accused of seeking with Train and her female
followers to affiliate with the Democratic party,
Mrs. Blackwell finally, in a pet, deserted, and the
meeting closed in confusion.
John O'Neill, President of the Fenian Brother-
hood, is moving actively in the interests of Ireland.
He has been stumping the States, and on the 14th
inst. he addressed the Fenian State Convention of
Pennsylvania in the State Senate Chamber, the
delegates representing 49 circle's. He has been as
busy writing as talking, a. secret circular having
publicly gone the rounds which it might well do
and remain secret, as it is too long for even a
Fenian brother to get through. The Irishmen of
Pennsylvania are exhorted in the last appeal of the
Pennsylvania Fenians to aid in placing an army in
the field. They are asked if they can remain like
base cowards looking on at a safe distance without
making an effort for the relief of the martyrs and
of their suffering country. " The same men
who carried the Green Flag in triumph at Ridge-
way and Fort Erie, and who trailed the proud
emblem of Great Britain in the dust, are again
ready for action." In O'Neill's secret address be
shows that he was neither afraid nor too virtuous

to shed blood, and that he intended, but for some
disturbing cause which so often arises to thwart the
intentions of the self-proclaimed patriots, to make
Fort Erie a slaughter pen where he would die,but never
surrender, as Napoleon's Old Guard did at Waterloo.
" Our organization," he says, " has only one mis-
sion--the liberation of Ireland. All side issues, in

troduced by designing men, are simply meant to
detract and mislead from the original purpose, and
must be avoided." Poor America ! Is a war to be
generated between Canada and the United States
for the liberation of Ireland ? Are the bright
waters of the St. Lawrence to be dyed with blood
because the brethren of the Puritans who founded
the New England States oppressed the Irish ? Whi
does not John O'Neill explain how cutting the
throats of the Canadians will promote the liberation
of the " Emerald Isle." No doubt his project will
be highly appreciated by the people who will be-
come its victims on both sides of the river, for they
may rest assured that they will not escape on the
right bank merely because the attack is first directed
against the Americans who dwell on the left bank/
that is the Canadians.
On the 7th May the election took place in Florida,
resulting in the ratification of the new Constitution,
the choice of the entire Republican State ticket,
with Harrison Green as Governor, by a majority of
about 3,000. General Buchanan reports frog).
Louisiana the ratification of the new Constitution
by a majority of 17,413, and the election to Con-
gress of James. Mann (Democrat). Virginia, Mis-
sissippi, and Texas have yet to vote ; indeed in the
latter State the. Constitutional Convention had 1305
as yet met. In Mississippi the election is to takeplaee
on the 231 June, and the Democrats are making 6
s'rongetfort to defeat the Constitution, and had held
a Convention at Jackson to organize for this cbject•
In Virginia, too, it is thought that, unless the Test
Oath be struck out, the Constitution will be de-
feated. Roberts E. Withers, of Lynchburg, has
been named for Governor by the Conservatives
General James Walker, of Pulaski, for Lieutenant'
Governor ; and Marmaduke Johnson, of Richmond,
for Congressman at large. Gen. Meade reports the
ratification of the Georgia Constitution by a maje;
rity of 17,699, the Republican ticket being elects
a
by a much smaller number. The reconstructed
States, so far, have elected 27 Republicans and only
five Democrats to Congress.
The treaty concluded between Bavaria and the
United States as to the nationality of emigrants
was signed on Tuesday. Its stipulations are similar
to those of the American treaty upon the same sub-
ject with the North German Confederation, but
afford no room for the doubts as to correct inter
pretation that have arisen with regard to the latter'
