(Cheers.] Hut it' its leaders can present nothing better than the programme of the committee, 1 am greatly apprehensive that its davs will be numbered. [Cheers.] . 1 trust, fellow-citizens, that this will not be the case; that it will discard its hostility and its attempt to continue alienation between the two sections of the country, and that it will embrace those principles which look to harmony, to restoration, and to peac e. It it should do this, it will continue to be the great and controlling party of the country, and cover itself with imperishable glorv. * It' it does not, its days are numbered. and the epitaph that will be written on it will be, " It knew how to prosecute the war with vigor, but it lacked the wisdom to avail itself of the benefits of victors.'' [Applause, and three cheers for Secretarv McCulloch.] The Secretary of War was next called upon? the baud playing " Rally 'Hound the Flag,"' "When Johnny Conies Marching Home," and other airs. MR. STANTON'S Sl'KWit. A more lame and impotent speech than Mr. Stanton's, which he declared he had written down, we have rarely read. Contracted with the outspoken manner of Secretary McCulloch'*, it is contemptible. Mr. Stanton, after a long preface, said the President's earliest reconstruction measures received the sanction of every member of the Cabinet. At first, Stanton thought Congress ought to regulate still rage for the States, but lie doesn't think so now. He is for restricting the organizing power, however, t<? people "who are loyal, and none others"? whatever that means, lie holds that Congress must decide f-r itself a> t" members who shall be admitted, lb had not troubled himself about it, and kne w nothing about it. because it was none of his business, lie favored the Frcedmen's bureau bill, lie didn't say whether he was in favor of the Civil Rights act or not. but said that as it was a law of the laud it was noi now a subject of debate. [ lie said the same about the Kurt an bill, I, til added his endorsement.] the subject of the Reconstruction Committee's plan, Mr. Stunt on managed to make hit use It understood, and we quote his remarks in full: To the plan reported by the Joint ( oininittcc I have not been able to gi\e m\ assent. It contemplates an amendment to the Federal <'oiistit ution, the third section of the proposed article being in these terms: Sk?-. I'ntil the 4th day of July, in the vcar lii/ht hmolm! an<l >. r.i'./y, all persons who voluntarily adhered to the late insurrection, giving it aid and coinfbrt, *h'tl! !? wind <( f rom the riirltf t<? vote for representatives in Ooiigress, ami for electors for President and Vice-President of the I'liited States." It is urged bv the advocates of this plan that this third section is the vital one, without which the others are of no value. Its exclusive action will no doubt commend it to the feelings of many as a wise and just provision. Hut I am unable so to regard it. because for four years it binds Congress to exclude from voting for representatives for Presidential electors "all persons who voluntarily adhered to the late iiisiii lection, giving it aid and comfort.'' No matter what mux be the condition of the coiuitrv, nor what proofs of present and future loyalty may be given, an absolute consfit utiotial ha i is to be cret ted tor tbur^ \ eai s against a large cla^s ot persons. Change of cin uiiistaiiecs and condition often work rapid changes in party or political sentinieiil, and nowhere with more marked results than in the south. It is believed that elements of change are now at work there, stimulating on one side to loyalty, and oil the other tending to continued hostile feelings. In mv judgment, every proper incitement t, , union should he fostered and cherished, ami for Congress to limit its ow n power bv constitutional amendment, for the period of four vcars, might be deplorable in its result. To those who differ, I accord the same honesty, and perhaps greater wisdom than I can claim for myself. As ?he proposed plan now stands, 1 am unable to perceive the necessity, justice, or wisdom of the measure; but having no place not voice in the body before which the. measure is pending, I disclaim any purpose to interfere beyond the expression ol my own opinion. I'oSTMASTKU-UfcNKRAl. UESNISOX'S SfKKi ll. ( Fellow* -citizens,' ? It is true that the j restoration of the southern States to all their constitutional relations to the " lal ( jovct niiicnt is not yet accomplished. So tar as that d ut v or that consummation iias been devolved on the executive branch of the (iovernnicnt, it has been fully per- j formed. I Applause.] I cannot now recall , any failure in this regard. W ith all these things you are familiar, and the country knows what has been done and what is doing. Mr. Dcnnisoii continued very much aftei the manner of Stanton. The following is better: Hut one thing remains, my follow -citizens, to complete the work of restoration and to clothe the southern States with all their constitutional privileges, and that is their representation in Congress.^ [Applause.] I' pou this, with the loyal millions of the country, 1 regret, deeply regret, that thcic is any difference between the President and our friends in Congress. But you will have observed that this difference is not as to who shall represent the southern States. Their loyalty is to be tested by the taking of the oaths prescribed by the Constitution and the laws ? -'required alike by the President and Congress, and for every Senator and Representative from every State, north and south. The difference, then, is not as to who, but as to when these States shall l?c represented. The whole theory of the Executive programme for the I restoration of the southern States looks to the early admU*ion of loyal Senators and i

Representatives from thoeo States, [ap. | plauxo] while the Congressional programme, as far as it had boon developed, look* to delay, conditioned on the adoption of ccrtain amendments to the Constitution. Nevertheless, Mr. Pcnnison thought Congrcss and the President were coming to. getlier. They were nearer than at the meeting of Congress. The hope of the couutry was the Union party, which had saved t h?* nation's life, &c., &c. ATTORN KV-O F. X K R A I.

Stevens made some incidental allusion to the condition of the cigar interest since the end of the war. Randall, of Pennsylvania, promptly interrupted him, and congratulated the House and the country that the distinguished gentleman from the Lancaster district was at last willing to allow that the war was really over. This sally occasioned some laughter, amidst which the Pennsylvania Mephistophiles arose with a grim smile that betrayed his ' consciousness of the awkward character of j his inadvertent admission, and declared with vehemence that he did not consider j tmrwar at nn end? on the contrary, in his ! opinion, it had just begun.

It is understood that the President expressed to Mr. Campbell yesterday hise.arnest desire that he would bo careful not to allow himself to be influenced byanyMexi cans now in the I nited States, and not al- , low himself to be mixed up in any new J scheme for the liberation of Mexico. The President also repeated his determination to preserve the most absolute neutrality towards Mexico, so as to afford no pretext for delay in withdrawing the French troops. The President does, not wish Mr. Campbell to go to Mexico at present. The rancor of the Mexican legation here towards Santa Anna leads them tocirculate the charge against him that he is here in the interest of Maximilian. But Santa . Anna's friends in Congress, who understand the object of his visit here, are working! quietly and effectively in his interest. ? lb. THE CIRCUIT CO CRT IN RICHMOND. The President has signed the bill to fix j the time and the place for holding the ; United States courts lbr Virginia. THE ALEXANDRIA RIOTERS.

In the future, the States of North Carolina and South Carolina will constitute a new military department, to be called the Department of the Carolines, and to be j commanded by Major-General Daniel K.

In addition to their regular duties as military commandants, Generals linger and Scott have been instructed to perform the duties of .1 ssistunt commissioners of tin* bureau of refugees, (Veeduien, and abandoned lanils for their respective States. The States of Georgia and Alabama will in the future constitute a new department, ' to he known as the Department of the South, with Brevet Major-Gcueral C. li.

Mr. Dexter, Treasury agent, sentenced bv ;i military commission to severe punishment, has been discharged by the President. The Negro Fails as A Master- A letter to the New York Herald from Port Royal, South Carolina, dated the 17th May, says : "The experiment of making the negro a planter on his own account has failed as signally as a hundred other experiments with the negro have failed. Those who had land orders last year, and were in a position to grow twenty or thirty acres of cotton lot* themselves, have this year not a cent to bless themselves with, and have been living on charity all the winter. A planter on Edisto island assured me that every morning from a hundred to a hundred and fifty former owners of these certificates-- (the negroes generally call them, but one darkey called them "stiffnenes")-- come to him begging for food or work. In the first place, they raised miserable crops; in the next, they were robbed by northern speculators, working under the shadow of the the Bureau, of what little they did raise. We saw one farm that is now cultivated by freedmen themselves, without assistance or supervision, in fair condition ; but one only. In fact, the experience of the Sea ; islands is, that the freedmen, properly treated, make excellent laborers, and will work well on shares, but fail as masters." Mr. Seward IIofeful. ? Near the con- j elusion of the verbatim report of hisspcech, Mr. Seward said: That the advocates of dissension seem to arrive at the conclusion that our entire system of republican government is an absurd failure. \\ hat, then, is my conclusion ! It is one at least that will be permitted to harmonize with my past life. I am hopeful ? hopeful of the President ? hopeful of the Congress ? hopeful of the National Union party ? hopeful of the represented States ? hopeful of the unrepresented States ? above all, hopeful of the whole people, and hopeful of the continued favor of Almighty God. A Singular Accident occurred on the i Hudson River railroad yesterday morning. The engine of the morning express, down, when just below Poughkeepsie, struck a man who was probably walking on the track and threw him upon the cow-catcher, in which position lie was carried ten miles be- 1 fore the engineer discovered what had happened.

The most unmanageable diseases which afflict the human race made to yield satisfactorily and permanently to the method and im aim, an exposition of which maybe bid by reading a concine statement of facts, in pamphlet form, which I bare thought for some time worthy to be noted by the t>ii ill ic generally. The title of this short triads.' Is ?' The Special Treatment of Syphilis, Chronic Rheumatism, and Scrofula, by Dr. E. J. Goodwin, of the Washington Springs.*' J hereby most respectfully and honestly solicit a careful notice of this pamphlet py the cla-s of suffering humanity to which it particularly refers, and an attentive reading of 1U? "Supplement," and the authenticity >?f it- intelligent and professional endorsement. Th# "Vegetable Eutrophic," which figures as the most prominent feature in the pamphlet, constitutes, in the judgment of discriminating physicians and others distinguished for intelligence and a high appreciation of truth and merit, '?an important addition" to the remedies now known a- the most efficient in the treatment of these diseases. My success in managing these diseases, now conceded to excel any attending the general plans of treatment, i? due to mv adaptation ot the Eutrophic upon the theory which 1 devised upon early pathological views taken of these maladies. The potency of its eillcacy makes it eminently deseiving a place among the most reputed standard remedies of mcdicai rec?>rd ? and 1 would most conscientious iy claim at the hands of honorable and intelligent physicians a fair and impartial trial of its therapeutical value as applied by me in the control of these diseases. j can, on short notice, furnish physicians located in towns and cities from fifty to one hundred bottles of the Eutrophic at a cost of three dollars per bottle, containing thirty ounces. The long-established mineral resources of the Washington Springs, formerly known as Leech's, affording the be-t qualities of Sulphur, Alum, Chalybeate, and Magnesia, the most remarkable and valuable collection of medicinal waters known to the mountains of Virginia, cannot be otherwise than attractive to invalids of both sexes sutferin# from debilities, diseases of the urinary organs, uterine disorders, skin diseases, diseases of the liver and digestive functions, and all affections benefited bv a relaxation from domestic habits and pursuit.-, accompanied by a few weeks' soioum at such a healthful retreat as that of the Washington Springs. Persona visiting the Springs for their mineral j advantages will be charged two dollars per day and twelve dollars per week board. persons visiting the Springs for medical advice and treatment will be charged five dollars per: week, at specie rates, for board. Passengers reach the Springs by the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, stopping at tilade Spring < depot, Washington county. No charge for medical services unless satisfac. | tion is given. The afflicted may visit us with the a.-surance that their sojourn shall be succeeded by a happy return, j To lief, wt have no netit and would not Uumbuu the suffering. E. J. GOODWIN.

MM ASCI AL A.fP COMHEUTAL. Richmond, May 24, 1866. The last few days have been character- \ zed by great excitement in the northern narkets, caused by the lato foreign news. Bold rose from 130^ on Monday to 159 % ?)n yesterday, In New lork; receding a Yaction before the close of the sales yesterday. There have been no reported failures, and stocks have stood pretty firm, [n this city, there Is not much room lor excitement ; nothing to feed the flame of a ^anic. There is nothing remarkable, thereore, here ? the same quiet that has prorailed for a long time continues. We may ? ipprehend that if war bursts forth in Eu- 1 rope, a check will be put upon most iinprovements in this country, and the prose- ; cution of our Covington and Ohio railroad will be postponed? likewise the canal? for in indefinite period. We quote gold in this city at 138? 140, j buying and selling; silver, 1286132, buying | and selling. Virginia Registered Stock, $42; Coupons, 807 ; Virginia and Tennessee Rail, : road, $00; Richmond and Danville Rail- i road, 860; Virginia Central Railroad, 800; , Richmond City, 875; North Carolina, 884. j NEW YORK. The New York gold market opened this morning at 139, and atter slight variations closed at 138^@1381<. Money was a little more stringent on Tuesday, and rates of 0*47 V cent, took the place of 4<55. The Government, through the Assistant Treasurer, Mr. Van Pyck, rendered much assistance by giving time in the delivery of gold and payment for it, and in receiving interest obligations of the Government in lieu of currency. This disposition of the Government helped very much to reassure and give ease to the money market. The amount of gold by the Cunard steamer on Monday was 83,000,000 ; and it is anticipated that four or five millions will go out from New York next Saturday. It is thought that the prompt transmission ot some eight or nine millions per week for a few weeks will ha* e a \erj favorable effect on American credit in Europe, and check the return of American securities. The City ot New lork and Bremen, arrived at New \ ork on Tuesdaj , brought not a large amount of 5-20's. The quotation of 5-20's was reduced 1 V cent, on Tuesday. New York, May 24.?
