Intercourse with japan.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The President has Off
cially proclaimed the convention between the
Empire of Japan and the Governments of the
United States, Great Britain, France, and Hol .
land, providing for the payment to these Gov
ernments of the sum of $4,000 900 for indem-
mites and expenses. This convention was made
in view of theihostlle acts of Morl-Dazen, Prince
of Nagato and Smoo which we're assuming such
formidable proportions as to make it difficult
for the Tycoon faithfully to observe the treaties
the Governments aboye-named having been
obliged to send their combined forces to the
Straits of Simonosaln in order to destroy the
batteries erected by that Daimio for the de-
struction of freight vessels and the stoppage o f
trade, and the Government of the Tycoon, on
whom devolved the duty of chastising the re-
bellious prince, being held responsible for any
damage resulting to the interests of treaty
powers, as well as the expenses occasioned by
the expedition.
The Governments of the United States, Great
Britain, France, and Holland declare in the
Convention that, inasmuch as the receipt of
money has never been the object of the said
powers, but the establishment of better rela-
tions with Japan, and the desire to place them
on "a more satisfactory and mutually dVanta-
geous footing, is still the leading object in Views
and, therefore, if HIS Majesty, the Tycoon,
wishes to otler, in lieu ofpayment of said claims,
and, as material compensation for losses and
injuries sustained, the opening OF Slmonos aki
or some other eligible port IN his inland sea, 1t
shall be at the option of the said foreign Gov
ernments to accept the same or insist on Inc pay
ment of the indemnify, in money, under the
con ditions above stipulated DID r.f...r

We give few extracts from a
speech OF Hon. Samuel Mckee, of
Kentucky, delivered in the House Of
Representatives, January 26, 1866.
The speech is in answer to one Of u
Democrat on the proposed Constitu-
tional amendment, changing the ba-
sis Of representation in the United
States :
lie assumed The position, that the
Republican party had but
one idea, and that was to legislate in
favor of the negro. Sir, if there is
more than one idea in the remarks OF
the gentleman, | have failed to see
it, and that idea seems TO be to cling
to the old black carcass of slavery
so long as the Democratic party can
make capital out Of it by bringing it
before the people.
Now, MIR. Speaker, | believe the
gentlemen { Rcpublicans) on this side
Of the House, all those who have
stood by, upheld and maintained the
honor and integrity Of our coun-
try during the gigantic war that
has swept over the land, all agree,
now that slavery has been swept
away, that the basis Of representa-
tion upon which it has cxiste ere
tOfOre needs amendment. lie as
sumes il as fact tnat the gentle.
men Of the Republican party, that
party which has stood by and upheld
the flag OF our country against armed
treason, now hold the doctrine that
the Constitution needs amendment.
They may differ rs 10 what the
amendment shall ho. II is reason
able that they should, and am graft
flied that we have had so much dis
cussiOn, so many points Of difference
argued before the people, that we
may more easily, ~ sensible men,
be able 10 come ut facts MS ascertain
what we need
Mr.. Speaker the gentlemen on the
other side Of the House have held
the doctrine through the whole war,
and they still hold it,. they have main
tanned The old idea that the Constitu
ton framed by tile fathers was good
enough for all time, aud for eternity,
if we could run into that. believe
that the fathers OF this country and
the trainers of the Constitution in.
tended and expected that that instru
ment would need amendment as our
country progressed. Had they not
held to That they would not have put
that fifth article ia it, which provides
for amendment and so d'stinetly
points it out. In the face OF that
opinion of our fathers, and OF the
most distinguished upon Constitu
tional law, including Justice Storey,
40 so clearly sets forth that IN time
amendment will be needed from the
changed circumstances of our conn
try, the gentlemen on the opposite
side of the House, contend that we
