The exhibit of the operations of the De.
partment Of the Interior during the past year,
made by Secretary Browning, gives u com.
plete account Of the various interests com
mitted to its charge. From it we learn that
during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1866,
1929 81 acres Of public land were dis
posed Of, the number Of homestead entries
exceeding that OF any previous year by more
than sixty per cent. The entire amount of
the public domain is |, 465 ,466, 800 acres, of
which IA, 100, 551 acres have been surveyed;
aud the coal land Of the United States is cs.
timatcd at two hundred thousand square
miles. The invalid pensions of wars prior to
the rebellion are said to be only about three
thousand, and the widows and children who
receive pension by reason of the services
and death Of those who served i'll such wrrs,
ono thousand two hundred and twenty seven.
Of nco army pensioners added to the rolls
during the year ending June Both last there
were 49,72l, requiring for their payment
81, 500, 523.37 per annum; and on the same
DAY there were in all IA 500 army pension
ers, at AL annual aggregate of Sill ,1l3, l22.26,
and 2,2l3 nay@i pensioners, requiring for
their annual payment SOL, 662.0o. The navy
pension fund accruing from the sale 81 prizes
amounts to $l1,750,000, the interest on
which is more than double the amount ne
cessary to pay the navy pensions. In allud-

"Here is Convention which has neither dinner nor

The Times, from which we quote exults over thn
gagging of the Convention, but nothing can be planer
than that all debate upon the great questions submit
ted to it was suppressed in the dread of triangular
row. For this reason Fernando Wood and Vaan-
digham and Henry Clay Dean withdrew. 1t is fact
that tho Randall Convention not allowed to de.
liberate. Its adjournment was hurried in the fear
that somebody might break the silence. The resolu-
lions and address were prepared by a few men in 9
committee ROOM and were scarcely submitted tn
the delegates Thus six hundred or seven hundred
men, gathered from all parts Of thc
country merely to get their instructions and, without
being allowed to utter word, were sent home again.
We really do not see why the Convention met. liz
business might as easily have been transacted through
the Post-Office. Messrs. Randall, CowaD, Blair,
Doolttle ETC.. could have written few letters aud
the President could have franked them. Conveu-

North. desires 20 sustain this Convention. II will
represent the men Of the South who can be trusted.
To them Mr. Lincoln desired 10 in,rust the work Of
reconstruction. and Mr.. Johnson with equal empha-
sis afterward declared that the four FIVE thousand
Union men of Rebel State had the sole right to gov
ern IT, while all Others should be excluded Those
who do not attach any value to the opinions Of the
dead President may ponder Tie words Of the
living; they clearly show how hese Southern mon
lists were regarded during the war. Then all recog

vention will be looked upon as the first thorough
effort the part Of the South to fairly meet the just
demands Of Congress New-York, through Gov. Fen

totake the slightest notice Of Union men, and if be

Senator But Sumner, Trumbu, Wade, Brown,
Fessenden Wilson, and other Senators who have not
deserted their constituents, will do well to unite with
Messrs Morgan and Harris. welcome should be
given to the Southern Unionists, which would show
that it is not the South to which the loyal North is
opposed, but solely TO the Southern leaders who

The President and the Secretary of State propose "a
visit Chicago ere long for the purpose of doing houoI
TO the memory of Stephen A. Douglas. Mr.. johnson,
when the late Mr.. Douglas was his contemporary.
believed in the Breckenridge doctrine and Mr.. Seward
at the same time was radical opponent of popular
or squatter sovereignty. Now, it is coming to pasx
that both these gentleman are going to lay very
yarepated tribute-wreath on the tomb Of their old
enemy. Mr. johnson will throw down his Breekin-
ridge theories as modified by his war record during
the Rebellion and as subsequently resurrected and
reconstructed into State Rights" MIR. Seward,
having turned his radicalism inside out, will
tumble it ground and-loftily on the base Of tho
Douglas monument. There are intimate friends
of the Little Giant to whom such Q
performance will be anything but pleasant
Gen. Jno. A. Logan, for instance who wishes it I'M
derstood that he considers the President no better
than political Judas, "betraying the country in
the arms of treason" Logan celebrates his here by
indorsng the Congressional ultimatum and the Con-
sttutional Amendment and will. therefore, be no
partaker in the Tylerzng festival over the grave Of
his friend.
The President and the Secretary will make long
tour, and stop frequently on the way TO mako
speeches. If the Presidents programme is faithfully
carried out we shall hear great deal about Johnson
and very little about Douglas. But the more the
President speaks the better for his opponents, the
worse for himself Everybody knows that his speech
does not drop pearls, and when he opens his mouth
his advisers must have carewhere he puts the Exec
utive foot From the unfortunate display on the day
of the Inauguration to his 22d Of February speech
and the unmannery bullying of Queen Emma, the
President has won no reputation for wisdom at homo
or abroad. Let him speak.

SHALL THE LOYAL MILLIONS BREAK
THEIR PLIGHTRD FAITHs

This question is distinctly prcsentedby the proceed
ngs and results of the late Philadelphia Convention.
Il can no longer be evaded nor ignored Gen. Dix,
Senators DOottle and Cowan, Mr.. Henry j. Ray
mond-every of the Oracles and mouthpieces OF
the Conyention-in their Studiously prepared utter
ances codly turn the loyal Blacks OF the South
to the tender merces of their late Rebel masters.
There is not word, hint, in all the maniles
toes of this Convention which recognizes or implies
that the Republic owes either gratitude or protection
10 the Blacks who aided TO save it, gives them any
hope Of preservation or delverance from any fate to
which the defeated Rebels may see fit to oonsgn
them Not even their fcow-solder, Gen. Dix-who
might be supposed TO feel some twnge of the sensi-
bes of Military Honor-gves them one word Of
recognition or of hope.
Mr. Raymond, in his Address, Is emphatic in his
assertions of the rights of the Union of the States OF
the exRebels but he recognizes no obligations what
ever due from the rescued and indicated Union to
its Black soldiers. Nay: he coolly repudiates even
the obligation solemnly assumed by the Republic,
with the explicit if not hearty assent of the States
lately in rebellion. He says:
Neither the the victory BY which Il closed,
changed the Constitution OF the United States
The carried by virtue Of its provisions and under
the limitations which they precbe and the result OF the
affect the powers coners upon the Federal Government or
release that Government from the restrictions which 1t has
The Constitution OF the United States is today precisely
as II was before the war" &C.
These assertions are directly in the teeth of the
Constitutional Amendment which President johnson
insisted that every Rebel State should ratify and
which Secretary Seward has certified aud proclaimed
valid integral part of the Federal Constitution. II
is in these words:
"ARTICLE KILL

party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist

"SEc. 2. CONGRESS SHALL HAVE POWER TO Es.

Following the spirited example of the Irishmen Of
Chicago. Mr. President Roberts has again frankly
declared in favor of impartial liberty in America as
one great moral step toward securing the SYM
patty of the world in the efforts for Irish free
dom. II was too much to expect that
the intelligent body ofthe sincere friends of Ireland
would refrain from condemning national policy
which ignored them as cooy rs it did the loyal men
in the South. or hesitate TO make common cause with
the friends of impartial freedom everywhere. Irish
men from this day forth promise to show an indie
pendcnce in politics which we heartily approve aud
welcome. The leadership of tho race In

ideas and honesty, without whom their cause cannot
