the right of each State to order and control its
own domestic concerns, according to it's own |
Judgment exclusively, subject only to the Consti-
tuition Of the United States, as essential to the
balance of power, on which the perfection and
endurance of our political fabric depend and the
overthrow of that system by the usurpation and
Capitalization Of power in Congress, would be o
revolution dangerous to republican government,
and destructive Of liberty.
The holding Of the convention is endorsed by
Senator'S Dixon, Hendricks, Newton and Ncsnith.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Additional foreign intelli-
genee presents points Of Importance. The Lon
don Times of the 18th says the diplomatic rupture
between Prussia and Austria is now complete.
The Austrian minister had demanded his passport,
and was to have left that day. Such consummG-
ton was to be expected after the correspondence
which had passed between the two governments
during the last few days. The dispatch of Count
Bismark went beyond every such document in
discourtesy invectiye and proyocation, and it has
been replied to by Count Menzdorff in more
guarded style, but in language which
shows offended pride and unconquerable resou-
ton. The Austrian minister for foreign affairs
makes solemn protest against the proceedings in
Holstein, and the statement by which It has been
attempted to justify them. He declines all respon-
abilities for consequences, and declares that for
months Prussia has taken up a position which en-
dangered the former settlement. In conclusion
Count Menzdorff reserves to the imperial govern.
ment the right Of taking such steps as may be
found necessary, since nothing remains for Austria
but TO defend her honor and guard her rights from
contempt.
The portentous intelligence that Garibaldi mas
reached Como is announced. Here was the scene
Of his former brilliant exploits.
The letter Of Napoleon to his foreign minister
was read on the twelfth. He says that had the
conference met, that France could have repudi
ated all idea of territorial aggrandzement so long
as the European equilibrium remained undisturbed
much preferring good understanding with her
neighbors to any territorial acquisition. France
would have desired for the Germanic Confederation
more worthy position, for Prussia better
geographical boundaries and for Austria the main
tenance Of her great position in Europe after the
cessiOn Of Venetia to Italy in exchange for terri
torial compensation Though the conference has
failed, France, the Emperor thinks, win not have
to draw the sword, but will continue to observe an
attentive neutrality The latter was received with
lond cheers by the members, and, on the sug.
gestion Of N. Ruuher, the chambers by n large
majority decided against entering on the debate
upon the affairs Of Germany and Italy.
WASHINGTON, June 25.--Senate-- Roland Of

Public Buildings and Grounds to inquire whether
a tract Of land about $4,000 acres, adjoining or
very near the city of Washington, can be obtained
at reasonable price for public park and site
F! for presidential mansion, which was adopted.
The tax bill was then discussed and passed.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Vermont, from the Committee on
! Ways and Means, reported the tariff bill which
was ordered to be printed and made the special
order Of the day for Thursday next.
a resolution was adopted increasing the salaries

! The House refused to entertain the introduction
of re solution calling on the President to inform
the House what steps, il any, had been taken tc
inteFpose the good Offices of the UnitedStates viii
Great Britain in behalf Of the Fenians recent,
captured in Canada.
The tariff bill introduced to-day is the longes
ever reported, and its consideration III the House
is likely to last the whole week az there are many
points which will occasion discussion. Consider.
able additions have been made to the free
list, but not to the extent expected by Ger,
tain interests. Extensive changes have been
made in levying specific instead Of ad Ual9-
REM duties. The classification OF iron is
entirely different and much more minute
than in the present tariff The duty on
coffee and tea is unchanged. The duty on coal is
reduced from one dollar and twenty-five cents per
ton to fifty cents per ton The duty on all kinds OF
iron will be increased from one quarter to one
cent per pound; iron pigs TO nine dollars per ton.
Railroad iron, which no y pays seventy cents per
100, is raised to one dollar; iron bars to one and
one quarter cents. The duty on steel Of all
kinds will be doubled on Paris white, one and a
half cents per pound. The duty on paper has not
been changed, but the internal revenue tax has
been taken off. The duties on cheap wines are
very largely increased, both in the specific and dd
rdorcHo duties. The principal fight over it in
| the House will be on the iron, stell, lumber and
coal clauses, As general thing the wool grow
ers and manufacturers seem TO be satisfied with
their clause Of the bill. The Pennsylvania pro
tectionists are highly dissatisfied, notwithstanding
the duty on iron is largely increased.
