New York and l6ll bales for Liverpool.
ToBAcco-The receipts continue in very moder-
ate quantities, with prospects Of considerable ac-
cessions during the ensuing week. The demand
has been of a limited nature. and we hear of no
special transaction of magnitude. The supply on
hand is principally made up OF the better grades.
for which the demand has been for some time only
moderate, while the offerings Of the lower de-
scriph0ns, which are in active request. are of a

THE FOURTEENTH AmENDMENr,

The following is a copy OF the resolu-
tons which have been adopted by both
houses of the New Jersey Legislature
i. Resolved by the Senate and General
Assembly of the State Of New jersey, That
the Joint resolution approved September
II, Ammo Dcmini eighteen hundred and
sixty-six, relative to amending the consti-
tuition of the United States, be, and the
same ia hereby rescinded, aud the consent,
on behalf of the State of New Jersey, TO
raiify the proposed fourteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United States is
hereby Withdrawn
2. And be it resolved, That copies of the
foregoing preamble and resolution, certified
to by the President Of the Senate and
Speaker Of the General Assembly, be for
warded to the President of the United
States, the Secretary of State Of the United
States, 10 each Of our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress, and to the Govern
0rs Of the respective States.
3. And be it enacted, That these resolu-
tions shall take effect Immediately.
Similar action has heretofore been
taken by the Legislature of Ohio When
this withdrawal of assent to the proposed
amendment, was brought to the attention
of the United States Senate, Mr. Sher-
man, Of Ohio, insisted that it was of no
effect In response to the request of the
Legislature Of Ohio that there sh Guild be
taken from the file in the Executive De
partment in Washington all papers con-
nected with the prior approval, Mr SeN
ward states that there is no law permit
ting the Secretary of State to withdraw
from the public archives any document
committed to its custody This may be
80. He does not deny the right OF the
State TO the revocation of ITS consent at
any time prior TO the amendment receiv-
ing the SURFACES of sufficient States to
become q law. On this he expresses no
opinion. He merely says "The resolu-
ton ratifSing the proposed constr
tutional amendment, and that resembling
II and withdrawing the ratification,
will therefore remain on the files OF this
department and have such effect as they
may respectively be entitled to Whether
the papers be withdrawn from the file or
not, is not a matter Of grave consequence.
Upon the Gle there will remain the with
drawal of the ratification, and this as OF
subsequent date, will prose efficient for
the cancellation of its former action 1t
does not appear that the Legislature OF
New Jersey has requested the withdrawal
Of any papers 1t has coatented itself
with simply resembling the previous ac-
ton of that body The Radicals will
hardly recognize the action Of these two
Legislatures, if they desire to declare the
fourteenth amendment adopte 4

shall decline to use any force, but il the
President instrilcta me 10 take forcible
possession, / must be content to do so.
However, Ishan await the further deyel-
opmeats Of this disagreeable business be-
fore saying what shall do"
In an interview with Secretary Stanton,
that gentleman stated to the same CORES
poadenf that he had not issued any order
to prevent Gen. Thomas from entering the
War Department. He also stated that it
was impossible to say what action he would
take if Gen. Thomas insisted on assuming
the duties of the War Department. His
action will depend altogether upon the
movements of Gen. Thomas.
The same correspondent is informed that
numerous dispatches have been received
from the Grand Army of the Republic,
secret military organization, with posts
established in all parts of the country, in
dorsing the action Of Congress. The gem
eral tenor Of these dispatches is that the
Grand Army of the Republic will not see
Congress overthrown, and if violence shall
be used in eieesing Mr.. Stanton, one hum
dred thousand men are ready to come TO
Washington aud put him back. The order
is reported as in a great state of excitement,
and Is unanimously resolved 10 take sides
with Congress aud defend its policy in all
its measures, if affairs shall be brought to
Rlch an extremity.
Gen. Lew. Wallace has arrived from the
West, in -obedience to a call of the com
mander of the Grand Army of the Repub
lie, and is in close consultation with Gen.
Logan, the Commandments Of the se-
cret organization.
The message which went to the Senate
Saturday from the President, after the adj
journment of that body, contained the
nomination of Hon. Thomas Ewing, Of
Ohio, as Secretary Of War; but being too
late for action that day, il was withdrawn
and will be again sent in. Mr.. Ewing has
notified the President that he will accept
the appointment.
An army officer on duty at the War De-
partment intimated yesterday that orders
from any other person than Secretary Stan
ION would be disregarded BY army officers
The militia of Maryland have profered
their services to q prominent military
supporter of the President, 50 it is reported,
and this report receives some color of truth
from the presence of Gov. Swami, of Mary
land, who has had an interview with the
President.

THE SITUATION AT WASHINGTON.

THE sEFUATION AT WASHINGTON.
The exchanges and kilograms received
yesterday represent all portions Of the
country as in a state Of feverish excite
ment over the recent events at Washing
ton, though the monetary dispatches of
yesterday afternoon from New York
would indicate that the quiet of Sabbath
had somewhat cooled the atmosphere at
the great political center So far as we
observed in this community, there has
been nothing that could be properly
called excitement, but among all classes,
however, there was manifested a deep
interest and anxiety mingled with an
apprehension that a violent rupture was
about to occur RumOfs Of startling
character gained currency but they
were generally 80 improbable as to be
short. lived even among the credulous
Before the reception Of the midday dis
patches Of yesterday, ID was generally
thought by the rejecting that nothing
to provoke a resort to force had resulted
or would probably grow out Of the War
Office trouble; and that, as was doubtless
the design of the President originally, it
would be- transferred to the courts, and
elicit judicial decision on the consti-
tutionality of the tenure Of Office law.
We present this morning a very full his
tory Of the matter up to the assembling
of Congress yesterday at noon.
At this writing il is difficult to predict
what will be the issue The impeach-
ment aud attempt to depose the President
is by far the most important feature in
the whole affair The Congressional rev.
olutionists have it in their power to do
both, and the probability is they will
proceed to the work. if they should,
they will act promptly, and if successful,
before the close of the week, the Consti-
tutional Executive may be exchanged for
Dictator acting in conjunction with the
Congressional Directory. We have be-
fore expressed the opinion that the Press
ident, to the extent of his ability, would
resist suspension, but of his preparation
for such contest, we are unable to
speak He is surrounded by military
officials faithless to him as their lawful
commander, and ready to betray their
trusts to the desperate wretches who have
conspired against the constitution they
have sworn to support Whether the
President can command sufficient force
to prevent the consummation Of the coup
detdt threatened is doubtful If he has
not the future wears gloomy aspect,
and no man can tell what dire troubles
are ia store for this nation, and it is
neither a pleasing nor profitable task to
indulge in conjecture

Important order from Gen. Hancock
am Regard 60 the Finances of Lou
tsfanR.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23.-Geu. Hancock
yesterday issued an important order re-
garding the State finances. The order
states that the Auditor and Treasurer,
having represented officially the indebted
ness Of the State to be such that, under the
present revenue laws, the debt cannot be
paid, and the Governor, in an official COM
munication to the commanding General,
having declared the State treasury totally
bankrupt, so that Judges and other State
officers cannot be paid, and that unless
some remedy be applied the machinery of
the State must stop, the collection of ar
rears and taxes for four years being sus-
pended by the Legislature until the year
1870, and the appropriation act having
expired December 81, 1867, and the emer-
gency being so pressing that prompt action
is indispensable to prevent anarchy, confu-
sion, and the loss of all semblance of civil
authority, the General therefore orders,
First-That from and after this date all
the licenses on trades, professions, and oc-
c1pations, and the ruinous dues and taxes
OF tue otdle OF Doulstdnai ShdH DC payable
and collected in United States legai-tender
notes. 1t is made the duty of the State
Treasurer, and all other persons charged
with these collections to exact payment as
| above. The revenue thus collected ia to
be appropriated to the payment Of the iu-
dicial, executive and civil officers of the
State, and for other purposes specified in
| the order.
The appropriation act for 1867, as far as
applies to the specified expenditures and
assessments for the same year. are to be
adopted by the Auditor and Treasurer.
Collectors are required to perform their
duties under the existing laws.
