The Republican General Committee held a
meeting last evening, at its rooms in Twenty.
third-st., a report whereof will be found in
another column. There was, we understand,
some iregularty in the notice of the meeting,
as the usual special notification TO members
was not served. The attendance, consequently,
was comparatively small, only about half the
members being present. The special business
of the meeting seems to have been to give the
approval of the Committee to the Health Bill,
now before the Legislature, in its present form
as to the constitution of the Board of Com
missioners. A resolution to that effect was
introduced, to which a substitute was offered
by Judge White in favor of Health Bill, but
proposing that the appointing power under
it should be given to the Governor. This
was voted down, but only by q majority
Of IL. Perhaps the result would have been the
same had the meeting been full one; and per-
haps not 1t is, at any rate, certain the vote
would have carried some weight with it as an
expression of the opinion of the Republican
party of this city had the meeting been called
in the regular way, and chance been given
for a full attendance Of the members
of the Committee. As il stands, it
ought, and no doubt will, have no
other influence at Albany than that which be-
longs to a partisan vote carried for partisan
purpose by meager majority. Where and how
much partisanship there is in the attempt to
push the bill through the Legislature is freshly
revealed in this proceeding Of the General Com
mittee. The House will get its eyes open by
the time the Bill comes before them for action.
1t was the purpose of the majority Of the meet.
ing that the yeas and nays should not be pub
lished They will be found in our report.

IMPENDING TRIAL OF JEFF. DAvIs.--We feel
warranted in stating to the public that the revelations
Of the last ten days will justify US in announcing now
that the Government has decided that Jefferson Dsvi,
shall be tried for treason and other high crimes before
a military commission The significant summoping to
Washington. therefore OF such distinguished Generals
Sherman, Sheridan and Meade and the recent arr
val there also OF Barton N. Harris who was the pri
va,e secretary of Davis during the Rebellion, may
be understood We congratulate the country upon this
decision OF the Government. 1t avoids the vast danger
of opening up the verdict OF the sword and riskng
the minority report of disagreeng jury against re.
cording treason a crime. Such result would be
calamity TO both South and North for 1t would encour
age mschieyous calculations on the one side. and in
act coptlnual alarm upon the other. The Government
therefore, could not itself for such terrible
mistake, and we consequently relieved to End that
II has decided on the proper II Is matter Of
inferior Importance what becomes OF Davis after be is
tried but II is OF the first importance to the future that
he be tried by tribunal Of sufficient intell gence to
comprehend his crimes. and Of sufficiently established
honor to carry the acquiescence of the nation with
verdict In addition to this every reason steers to the
conclusion that Davis should be tried by military
court The military law Is not repealed The crimes
Of Davis are Of military character. Courts martial
are still sitting even In the Northern States and the
pirate Semmcs Is soon to DO tried by Naval Commits
sion at the Capitol To continue these courts and to
try Semmes before OF them and at the same time to
hesitate to arraign Davis In the manner would be
evidence OF cowardice aud forfeiture Of duty on
the part OF the Administration, from the effects or
which 1t never would recover.

Gen. Prim appears to be in no haste to reach
Portugal. On January Is, the date OF our
latest advices, he was Aot only still in Spain,
but it was then thought probable that instead
of crossing into Portugal he would attempt to
penetrate into Andalusa, the most democratic
portion of the kingdom. The insurrection
therefore, cannot yet be regarded as fully sup
pressed. On the contrary, we have several re-
ports of new outbreaks in various parts Of Span
and semi-official correspondence states that
the Government finds it necessary to adopt a
more vigorous system of repression.

oUn STATE CONVENTION.

The Convention of 1876, which framed the
present Constitution Of our State, had not that
horror of fundamental change which is cur
rently ascrbed to the American People, Feel
ing that the best charters need revision, from
time to time, to adapt them to changed circum'
stances, to the progress of knowledge and the
teachings of experience, they provided that the
People should be formally asked, every twen-
tieth year thereafter, whether it was or was not
their pleasure to have another Constitutional
Convention. This is the twentieth year there
after; and the Hon. C. j. Folger, from the
Judiciary Committee, has submitted to the
Senate the following bill, whose passage in some
form is a matter of course:
SECTION l. At the next general election, to be beld
in this State the Tuesday next after tue rst MOI
day Of November 1906 there shall be provided or escn

visions OF the act entitled An act respecting elections

a SCHOOL OF MINES.

Nothing so retards the development Of our
mineral resources, and makes investments in
them so hazardous as the want of trained
scientific engineers geologists, and metailur-
gisls. Whether money can or cannot be profit
ably laid out in any new mining enterprise, is
mere matter Of chance, unless some expert
study and report upon the geological character
of the rock through which the work is to be
carried. ri the work be under ~ N, its success
can be insured only by the employment Of an
educated engineer 10 direct the construction of
its shafts aud its machinery, and Of a chemist
specially skilled in metallurgy to superintend
the processes by which its ores are reduced and
made marketable. The supply of such men falls
far short Of the demand for them. The average
annual loss to the capital invested in mines, by
reason Of the want Of such supply, is yariously
estimated at from 90 to 80 per cent. II rac-
teal men" ard " self.made men" seduce capt.
talsts into throwing away money on undertak-
ings that an educated expert would have pro-
nounccd Improbable at The first glance, or
destroy the profit of valuable mines by I'M
scientific engineering and unchemical metal
lurgy.
There is a hopeful effort TO supply this want,
and to give New-York at the same time school
of applied science that shall be an honor to the
city. In November, 1864, Columbia College
opened School of Mines The experiment was
undertaken with hesitation and doubt, and it was
thought that the prospects of the school would
be brilliant il it secured twelve students to begin
with. Thirty applied for admission within
fortnight. 1t has now more than eighty on Its
rolls, enlisted for three years course working
in its laboratories aud assay rooms nearly from
daylight till dark, and spending their vacations
in the examination and study Of mines assigned
them as subjects by the Faculty of the school,
and on which they are severally required to pro-
duce written reports. These reports are pre-
served for reference, and will hereafter consti-
tute valuable body Of evidence as to the
history of our mining interests. The students
Of the school would probably be quadrupled if
the College could furnish house-room and work.
ing laboratory tables sufficient for so many.
But IT has not the means to do so. 1t is an
endowed institution, to be sure, but It's Under
graduate Course, its Law School, and what it is
doing for this School of Mines absorb all the
income of its endowment aud all it gets from
tuition fees, and more. Besides the establish.
ment and equipment Of great scientific school
on q scale worthy Of this city involves the
purchase Of cabinets and collections of miner.

In the Senate, yesterday, it was resolved that
the Committee on Reconstruction inquire into
the expediency of SO amending the Constitution
as to establish 4he power OF Congress to enforce
the guarantees of that instrument; especially,
concerning the people without distinction Of
color or race, the assurance to the citizens of
each State of the privileges and i'm.
munities of the citizens Of the several
States, and the guarantee of a republican
form of Government to every State.
A resolution was adopted to inquire as to giving
the United States Courts jurisdiction Of all
suits for acts done under military authority. A
petition was presented and referred for compen-
sation to loyal woman for destruction of
property by Rebels. Mr.. Fessenden gave no.
tee that he would call up the Joint resolution
for an amendment to the Constitution adopted
by the House, and press it to passage. The
resolution for the trial by military COM
mission of JEFF. Davis and others for
completely in the assassination Of Mr.
Lincoln, was called up by Mr.. Howard, who
spoke on it at length, and asked for vote; but
Messrs Johnson and Salisbury announced their
desire to debate it, and it was laid over. Mr.
Tfambulps bill for the security Of civil rights
was then taken up, and the amendment declar-
ing all persons born in the United States except
Indians not taxed, citizens, was adopted by
Yeas 81, Nays 10. Mr.. Davis spoke, and the
Senate adjourned.
In tho Housa rasnlut:ouc &c +Io I onfsfaf,ra

sented. A memorial was presented from naval
officers for increase ofpay. A bill was reported
from the Committee of Ways and Means giving

order for next Thursday. Mr.. Morrill, stated,
in reply to Mr.. Stevens, that the Com
mittee had not considered the subject of
reducing the whisky tax, and would do it with
great reluctance. A bill was introduced TO i'm
prove the navigation Of the Mississippi, and
resolution adopted for an inquiry into the peon.
age laws of New Mexico. A resolution was
reported from the Committee on Agriculture
to inquire as to protecting agricultural in
terests from oppressive taxation by railway
companies, which was referred to the Com
mttee Of Ways and Means. The House then
resumed the consideration of the bill pro-
hibting the reissue, except by act Of Con.
gress Of American registers to vessels sold
under foreign flags during the war, which
was debated BY Messn. Garfield, spalding,
Blaine, Pike, Banks Thayer, and Washburne,
and was passed by Yeas 90, Nays 50. The con-
tested case OF Dodge against Brooks was briefly
discussed, and the Freedmen's Bureau bill was
then taken up, and Mr.. Eliot gave notice he
