other cities of the United States, by
clandestinely transmitting for an
unsuspicious market here, masses
of infected clothing, taken from the
corpses of persons who had died OF
the yellow fever in the tropics. IL
is not easy to understand how an
offense of that character, which is a
detestable crime against mankind,
can BIO supposed, even by the felon
himself, to be entitled to be regard

bellion or civil war. The Presi-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The New
York Worlds special from Syracuse
says that the afternoon session OF
the New York State Republican
Convention commenced W i t h a
strong speech from Rosco Conklin,
the permanent president of the con :
vention, giving a history of the par
ty danger which now threatens the
country; praising Stanton and Sher-
idan, and denouncing Johnson.
His allusion to Stanton was faint
" applauded, W h 10 Sheridan's
name was greeted with rounds OF
applause.
His remarks with reference to
the course to be adopted by Con
gress in reference to the President,
was an argument in favor Of i'm
parchment, and in opposition to
permanent sessions. and an effort
to circumvent the President without
resortino to extraordinary powers
by Congress.
Impeachment was the remedy to
be applied instead of assuming
doubtful powers by Congress or
touching upon the prerogatives OF
the executive. 1t was in short an
experimental speech, delivered in
an impressive and telling manner
Conkling declared that he did not
admit that the time had come for
impeachment, but at the same time
his whole argument on that point
was that the hour had arrived to
adopt that course Immediately.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The fol-
