New York-New Jersey.

From the Tribune.
Between New England on the northeast and
Pennsylvania ON the southwest lie the States of
New York and New Jersey, with population of
some five millions, and sending thirty-siX Repre-
sentatiyes to the more popular branch of Con-
gress. These ale all to be chosen on Tuesday,
November 6; and United States Senator for six
years from New York, and probably another for
four years from New Jersey, are to be elected by
the Legislatures simultaneously chosen. The
election in these States is necessarily regarded
with lively interest by the whole American
people.
In 1864 New York was carried for Lincoln,
Fenton, and the Republican tickets generally,
by majorities averaging 75OO-maiorities which
were quadrupled in the aggregate returns in
1865. Whether there are plausible grounds for
believing, or fearing, or hoping, that this ma
iority OF thirty thousand votes Tor the Republi-
can Union ticket can be overcome at the next
annual election, each will judge for himself; but
every dispasslonate observer must regard such
result as but faint possibility. Johnsonism
-Fenlanism-deyotion or repugnance to the
Excise act Of our last egislature-appIoval or
condemnation of one or more of Governor
Fentons vetoes-these are all the make-w weig hts
that may be supposed to influence the result.
Who believes that, by means Of these or in de-
hapce OF tnem, the thirty thousand majority Of
last year Is now to be subverted and oyerborne2 Z
suits Of recent elections, OF otneT manifestations
OF public sentiment, that indicates and predicts
such a change? ....... .....,,t ...,.
New Jersey was the only free State that gave
popular majority in 1850 for electors opposed
to Mr.. Lincoln. Alone among che free States of
1860, she gave majority for General Mcclellan
In 1854. That majority was oyerborne, and
Republican Governor and Legislature elected in
1866, after most spirited and energetic can
vass, the Republicans carrying three OF the i've
Congressional districts and losing fourth by
barely fifty votes. This result was mainly due 10
the return of New Jerseys honorably discharged
soldiers from serving their country in the War
for the Union. Her Democratic Legislatures of
1864 denied them the privilege OF voting In the
held, while those tit Tor duty could not be
spared to come home. Hence the State went
against Lincoln by over 1000 majority, yet was
peVertheless carried by Governor Ward In 1865
by some 100 majority.
New Jersey is to-day one of the surest and
hrmest Republican States in the Union, though
several are far ahead of her in the magnitude
OF their maJorities. She will very surely elect
three, probably four. possibly five Republicans
as her Representatives in the next House. She

The south and the Constitutional
Amendments.

The south and the Constitutional
Amendments,
From the Times
The Richmond Enquirer demonstrates, with
dignity and force, against the course of the
Times in recommending the adoption of the
Constitutional amendment by the Southern
States. Having regarded the Times and its
editor as friendly to the South it finds their
recent action ''inexpleable, on the principles
which determine the obligations of fidelity
among men." And in very natural tone of
disappointment, not unmingled with some
equally natural resentment, it protests against
the alleged injustice and hostility Of our
course. Possibly we may be able 10 remove
some Of the EnQuirer's misconceptions upon this
subject.
Southern States to the Union under the Con.
stitution as the most pressing and imperative
necessity Of the day. Every DAYS delay seems
to us fraught with formidable evils and
dangers. The prolonged exclusion of ten
States and eight millions of people from all
participation in a Government whose laws
they are REQUIRED to obey, no matter what
may be the motive OF that exclusion, Is an
anomaly IN our republican system which must
be fruitful of the worst results. It sours and
alienates those who are thus excluded. II

adjourned, The object of the Convention
was to examine into the conduct of j. E. Bry
ant, President of the Association, and editor
of the Loyal Georgian. Mr.. Bryant was ac-
cused of swindling the freedmen. After
hearing, without summoning witnesses, the
investie ating committee reported favorably to
Mr.. Bryant, adding resolution condemning
the use to which he applied the Loyal Geor-
gian in attacking Gen. Tillson, and demand
ing that it should cease. Upon invitation,
Gen. Tilson addressed the Convention, say
ing that it was his duty to inform the MEM
bers that Mr.. Bryant Is liar and a swindler.
The course he is pursuing is injurious to the
colored race. He urged the members against
giving him any support or countenance. The
Convention then passed resolution thanking
Gen. Tillson for his speech and information.

VETO OF THE FREEDMEN'S
BUREAU BILL.

H WASHINGTON. July 16.
The President, in his message returning to the
House, with his objections to its becoming a
law, the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, reafirms the
position taken in his former veto of the Freed
mems Bureau Bill. He adds that such bill
can only be passed under the war making pow
er He can see no necessity for this kind Of
legislation and especially that portion of the bill
which requires the continuance Of military
courts. He opposed the bill also on the ground
of economy and claims that civil courts are
open to the freedmen.
1.-THE bill was passed by both Houses of Con
gress, notwithstanding the veto. The vote stood
in :he Senate SO to 12; in the House la to 33.
