THE MEETING LAST EVENING.

A large audience assembled at Mechanics
Institute last evening. They were called to
order by Mr.. Henry c. Dibble, who intro,
duced Governor H. c. Warmoth to the
audience, who said:
LADIES AND GENrLEMEN-I thank you sin.
cerely tor the nigh honor you have con.
terred upon me in selecting me to preside
over this large and respectable assembly.
We have met this evening for the purpose
of welcoming a distinguished fellow citizen,
whose services in the cause OF Justice and
universal liberty have endeared him 10 the
heart of every loyal man. (Applause.) A
man whose fidelity to his country has only
been Cqualed by the ability with which he
has discussed the great questions Involved
in the contest, and the energy with which
he has urged their embodiment into law
(Applause.)
have the honor and the pleasure of in
Producing to you the Hon. Thomas ]
Durant.
Mr.. Durant then spoke for an hour
sketching in eloquent terms the progress 0
the Republican party, the work which il
has done for the cause of justice and hu
manity. We regret our inability to publish
his speech, which will make an excellent
campaign document, this morning.
His remarks were frequently interrupted
by applause.

cheers for the Republican nominees fol

TIE OMNIBUS ADMISSION BILL.

In the original bill for the admission Of
Louisiana and other Southern States the
first section contained a provision forbid.
ding any future abridgment of the elective
franchise. This was amended by inserting
the corresponding provision of the Arkan-
sas bill. Mr.. Drake, of Missouri, who
moved to amend, explained that confer
ence committee having already settled upon
the Arkansas provision, it is desirable that
all the constitutions shall be the same.
The second section was amended to take
from the Governor the discretion of calling
the Legislature together or not, as he might
see ht, and require it by law to assemble at
the end of certain specified time. unless
the Governor elect should convene it
sooner.
Mr.. Howard, of Michigan, proposed to
amend the third section by striking out the
latter half thereof. He explained that the
section requires the issue of proclamation
| by the President announcing the compli-
ance of the States with the necessary con.
dition before State can be admitted into
Congress. He had no idea that the Presi-
dent would ever issue any such proclama-
ton, and therefore he proposed to dispense

with post facto representation in Congress
on their adoption of the fourteenth amend.
ment.
Mr.. Edmunds said that point had been
considered by the committee, and they had
decided to let the usual course be taken of
allowing the responsibility to remain with
the President of announcing the result.
| Mr.. Edmunds dissented from Mr.. How
ards opinion that the President would
! withhold that proclamation. He thought
| the President would run no such risk when
| ne was directed by law to issueit.
Mr.. Howard retOrted that the President
| believed their whole system of reconstruc-
ton unconstitutional and void, and intend.
ed to effectuate his own plan. The Senator
mistook the character of the President If he
supposed there is anything he dare not
attempt to do to that end Those States
| under the present provisions would not be
| entitled to representation at all if the Presi.
dent chose thus to refuse, aud in this case
he would defy their law and look with scorn
upon all attempts to impeach him.
Mr.. Edmunds said his proposition was TO
restore those States according to law, and
he intended that the minister Of the law,
! Andrew johnson, should do the last official
| act required by law in restoring them, and
| commit himself to the Congressional policy
| of reconstruction, and he (Edmunds) had
not the slightest doubt that the President
would do it. He reminded the Senator that
the President would have left the office ere
this but for the difference of opinion of the
| Senate in regard to law.
| Mr.. Frelinghuysen suggested that the
purpose of both Senators could be obtained
| by leaving in the section a clause making
it the duty of the President to issue proc.
lamation within ten days after the necessary
official notification of ratification.
Both Senators assented, and the amend
ment was modified and adopted,

not vote at all because of the threats made
against them. The rebels here say through
their X. K. KS that every white Radical
shall leave or be killed, and they take out
colored mon who voted the Radical ticket
and cruelty beat them. Here in this town
old Uncle Mike, good and very inOffensiye
cOlored man, was horribly and cruelty
treated, from the effects Of which he has
not fully recovered, and he Will be some
time getting well.
How long are the Union men of this
country to endure this state of things! II

Trial, Conviction, and Sentence for
Whisky Fraud.


T. c. Callicott formerly treasury agent
at Memphis and Vicksburg, and latterly
collector of internal revenue for the Brook
lyn district, has been convicted and SEN
fenced for completely in whisky frauds
upon the revenue. Judge Nelson, in pro-
nouncing sentence, referred to the crime OF
defrauding the government by corrupting
the public officers appointed to collect tax
on distilled spirits, and which prevailed to
an alarming extent at the time of his ap.
pointment as collector. Many officers had
been removed, others proceeded against
criminally, and were awaiting their trial.
The prisoner had been chosen in the midst
of this demoraliza.ion to purify and re-
establish official authority in this branch Of
the government, ana it was within his power
to have accomplished the task. The trial
and verdict of the jury furnished the evi,
dence of his lamentable failure; and not only
this, but that the crime had multiplied
under his administration with aid and en-
couragement. In conclusion, his honor
said:
"The law which it is our duty to ad-
minister is no respecter OF persons; there
are none so high as to be above or SO
humble as to be beneath its power. 1t re-
mains only for the court to pronounce the
sentence of the law. The full punishment
under the third section of the act of 1861
we regard as moderate compared with the
apgraYation of the offense-it is fine moi
| exceeding $40, 900 and imprisonment not
exceeding two years. We feel bound to I'M
pose the whole of 1.-THE imprisonment to
! be executed in the Albany penitenuary, ano
| in addition to be imprisoned until the fnt
Calicott, together with Colonel Enright
criminal of the same class, have beer
committed to the penitentiary at Albany
