TILE TEMPOR1L POWER.

"Cp writes us at length on this subject, say
ing many things that are not IN dispute ana
on which we cannot, therefore, waste room.
He says:
"rbc PapaI Government has been the lawful Govern
mont Of Rome for many centuries ~ %at leSo
process shall it cease to be such n"Li leo, trans
low shall the allegiance OF the people DE leSdh| udi'
ferred from the Pope TO the King Of ltaly T.
Ansrer.-You assume fact; for Rome has
been governed 10y Rienz, 10y Napoleon, and by
Mazzini-not to mention others who were not
Popes and did not hold mp Popes. But this Is
immaterial. We hold that " governments de-
"riye their Just powers from the consent OF me
ooreyped." Mazzini dared the Clericals, after
France had reimposed their rule upon Rome in
1910, to let the people vote rs to VINO shouiu 10
their ruler They dared not do It, we renew
the demand The Cleficals know that the peo-
ple are against them-that they govern by
force of bayonets alone. They practically con
fess if. Rome lust as palpably chooses to be
capital of all Italy rather than what she Is as
Paris chooses to be capital of France or Lon
don of Great Britain. And so does {. know
it; for he Says
.When south Carolina voted, almost unanimously, 70
reject Federal sovereignty, We disregarded tht NV.,
nUnIimons including Blacks as well whites the ac-
ton Of the Federal Government would have peeh shtS
the same"
Answer.-That may be yov doctrine; you
must allow Us to differ. No such vote was
ever taken as you assert, and the (coerced) ac-
ouiesccncc in Secession was that of an arlSto-
cratic minority, conspiring to increase and per
petuate their power over the enslayed MAJOR
ity. No such unanmty in favor OF The dlSmcin-
berment of this country can possibly occur II
the people are all free, and all have a voice IN
their government. We do not agree that the
right 10 dismcmber a country is the same as
Tie right TO resist its dismembement but
whenever one-third of our country-lts people
being all free and cniranchised-shall' win
substantial unaninlity, seek separation and nde-
pcndence. G. may make war upon them but
we shall not. "rhc consent OF the governed
is truly affirmed by the Declaration to be the
cornerstone Of Just government

In the Senate, yesterday, n bill was offered and
referred, providing that legal-tender notes shall
be taken for all dues to the Government, OK
cept import duties, and paid out for all claims
except gold interest, and that they shall be
accepted at their face for all debts unless where
otherwise specially provided by contract. made
after the 9TH of July next. The morning hour
was spent in discussion upon the bill allowing
q majority Of those voting, instead of those
registered, in the late Rebel States, to carry
measures. Mr.. Drake then called up his resO-
luton censuring the language and tone of the
Presidents Message, and made a long speech
in support of it. The subject was postponed
until Thursday.
In the House, the Speaker announced the
providing for the scaling of weights and meas
ures was referred A joint resolution was
passed extending for two years the time in
which certain Michigan and Wisconsin Railroad
Companies may be entitled to claim grants of
public lands. Another joint resolution was
passed making it the duty of the Postmaster
General to allow Senators and Representatives
to examine and copy all papers and recOmmenda-
tons in the office appertaining to appointments
and removals OF pOstmasters, &c. The cOnfs-
cation bill, introduced in March last, Ullen came
up, and Messrs. Chanlcr and Eldridge spoke
against it, after which it was postponed until
the 2lst of January. The House adopted a CON
current resolution to adjourn from Friday, Goth

AS Register, and Recorder IIackett because of
his pay rs Recorder, aud Mr.. Bradley by reason
of his salary as Senator, have resolved to ten
der their services gratuitously to the City as
Commissioners of the Broadway Circle. This
will be a saving of $1,000. Mr.. Wilson will
not press his claim for $1,000, and the " five
dummies $500 each" will accept 800 all around.
We hope Judge Barnard will appropriately
notice this magnanmity from the bench.

Florida has chosen a Convention by about 500
majority over the number of votes necessary
to secure it, and by 14,03l over those pollcd

are not published but the letter of our special

from all but four Counties, and these unmport-
ant Ii is said that only one to fifteen of the
Whites voted at all. Eighty-fye per cent Of
the colored vote was brought out at The polls.
The Convention is reported to consist Of Whites

The Richmond Constitutional Convention the
other day enjoyed the luxury of common
place" speech from Gov. Piepoint, and a
modest" one from Gov. Smythe OF New
Hampshire. To-day, the Virginia Conservative
Convention is to meet, for the purpose, among
other things-so the dispatches tell us-of IN
dorsing Gen Grant. Somebody ought by all
means to make speeches to the Conservative
Convention. Suppose Gen. Sickles and Mt
Blair were TO 90. They could both talk about
Grant. One might commit him to the sternest
sort of Radcalism, and the other make HIM
out a Democrat One would paint him as
secret friend to Impeachment, and the other as
nm advocate for the summary dispersion OF
Congress and the union of all three branches
of the Government under a single supreme
head At any rate, we are confident that
Sckless speech would not be commonplace
and Blairs would not be modest

There is a fierce contest Mt the West as to
what city shall have the honor oil entertaining
the next National Republican Convention
Chicago offers immense but rather vague con
tributions for campaign expenses provided her
hospitality is accepted, while Cincinnati comes
down plump with a promise of $4,000. In
dianapols puts in her claim, though with what
particular bride in her hand we have not been
informed Suppose the Convention comes to
New-York This is the center OF business ac-
tiyity and ought to be the center OF political
enterprise. We can offer the members more
than $4,000 worth Of amusement during their
visit. They can see the Black Crook and the
Golden Branch on alternate nights, and taste
the moral dissipation Of the Bunyan Panorama
Oh Saturday afternoons They can dine every
day at Delmonico's, and hear the best OF
preaching on Sundays. All these entertain
mcnts would promote habitual good humor, and
good humor would greatly facilitate the
progress of their business and promote har-
mOny in their discussions.

The project of connecting Vera Cruz and
New-Orleans by a submarine telegraph has been
several times preached, and we wonder that
capitalists have not yet taken up the enterprise.
There are few countries in North America
with which our relations are so peculiarly inter
esting as Mexico, and there is none with which
our communication is so slow and uncertain.
The distance from Vera Cruz to the mouth OF
the Mississippi is only some 800 miles, and
there is no apparent reason why the laying OF
a cable across the Gulf of Mexico should not
bc easy.

The result of the experiment of reducing the
tolls on messages by the Atlantic Cable mas
been exactly what we predicted it would De-
Every successive reduction has increased the
profits of the company. The Atlantic Cable
was landed July 81 1866, and opened to the
public the next day at tariff of one hundred
dollars in gold for message Of twenty words,
in which were included the address, date, and
SIGNATURE and two hundred dollars if in code
or cipher. On the LIST day of November, 1866,
the tariff was reduced to One-half, OF fifty dol
lars for a message, and one hundred dollars If
in code or cipher On the LIST OF December
1867, the tariff was reduced to tlcentu-tre dol
lars for message of ten words, whether IN
plain English or in code or Cypher, and i've
words for address, date and signature free; and
for the press One-half the above rates Tor p0-
ltical OF general news, in plain English The
rates to the public are One-quafter what they
were mt first for a message i'll plain English,
| and one-eighth what they were for message
in code or cipher. Yet at these greatly reduced
rates the number of messages has so much i'll
creased that the amount Of cash received daily
| is far greater than ever before.

A correspondent reminds us that during the
municipal campaign in this city, the franks
of Members OF Congress used by the two
Democratic candidates to send their circulars
free through the mails were not written, but
stamped, upon the envelopes He calculates
that the Post-Offce lost about $1,000 by this
utterly objectionable misuse of a law which is
bad enough even when legitmately applied.
Mr.. Wood and Mr.. CHAMBER are mentioned by
our correspondent as the offending Congress
men. but they were not the only ones. We
have also seen the frank of the Hon. John Fox
similarly prOstituted.

Whisky was selling in New-York last week
at 81 pa gallon, or 72I cents less than the
Government tax. The Ways and Means Com
mittec of Congress are discussing the collection
of this tax, and there is strong feeling, we
understand. in favor of its reduction. We hope
it will be reduced. Experience has proved that
the present high impoSt acts as premium on
fraud, and is of no benefit whatever to the Treas
ury. Reduce it to a reasonable figure, and there
will be some chance of its collection.
