I'mlcrwood is sitting to.day in this ' ; virtue of an illegal adjournment ? Nm folk, and one of the papers of this Used the tact to belittle him, and lulu the Government he serves. - hav.- spoken plainly of these matter*, they are injuring the Government t.'iding tin* growth of loyalty far than would at tirst blush appear. The must first be brought to respect the eminent before it can be expected to ' it . and the very first step in gaining this i"'Ct is to have the laws of the I ' niou !? i tiallv, flruily, ably, and, withal, gene, ly ailministcred. The people of Virt reiuember the days before the war ii llalyburton wore the Federal ermine <ng them, aud il is diflicult to blame in if, when they compare the old judi- ' ial jxrsoitnrl with the new, it should be as anion to a satyr; and this, too, cousiing the matter outside of all |H?litical ' "iisidcratiouH, und viewing the two men ? 'iip!v as jurists. The plain truth is that the Government cannot afibrd, in these lati. tudes, to be served by any but officers thoroughly competent to discharge their duty. Let Alexander Rives, or some other > irgiuia Juriat of bigb character tod

knowledged learning and capacity, wield the judicial powers of the Government, and it will be found that the unwavering fealty of the man to the Union will not diminish a jot the respect the people will manifest for the judge ; and in saying this I wish to be distinctly understood a* assorting that the hitter feeling undoubtedly existing Against I'nderwood springs not so much from hatred of his V monism as contempt for his capacity. In this view of the case I'ndenvotHl is expensive ? the Government cannot afford him. Ceasing to lament over a disaster that cannot be remedied, for I'nderwood is <?f that class who never resigns, I go on to say a word concerning A KKT.tr OK Ot.DF.N TIMK in the person of Kllett, the crier ot the I'nited States Courts in Virginia. Kllett is not apparently an ol?t man, but for a long series of vears he has tilled the oftiee he now holds. Kven the rushing of the waves of war and revolution over the land did not | drown his monotonous "Oyez," "Oyez," for when the turmoil came, and the insi^nia of the I'nited States had departed, i he was swallowed in the new rfijimr, and merely substituting "Confederate*' for ?? I'nited," lie had the formula again complete, and he mumbled it during all the existence of the l>avis rule. When the I'nited States came back upiin, Kllett was once more in his old place, and now he cries "Oyez," "Oyez," for Judge Underwood as trippingly as he did for his predecessors, both Federal and Confederate. If must be said, for the credit of the man, that he is thoroughly loyal, and that he hailed the return of the old Hag as joyously as any one. Til K KICIIMoNP 1'IIKSS, tliis morning, were much milder in their references to Underwood's charge yesterday than had been anticipated. The Wlti'j was bitter, but the others more contemptuous than anything else. The Judge is of opinion that his threatened indictments have had a restraining influence upon them, in which he may perhaps be right, but is more likely to be wrong. It may be that they have determined to exercise discretion until after the departure of the Judge and the grand jury, but it is the more likely that they have slid all they have to say.

THE NEW CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Washington, June 9 The following is the proposed amendment as it passed the Senate yesterday : Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of both Houses concurring), That the following article be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which when ratified by three-fourths of said Legislatures shall be valid as part of the Constitution, namely : ArticleSection 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number ol persons, excluding Indians not taxed. Rut whenever the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President, Representatives in Congress, executive and judicial officers, or members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State being twenty-one years of ago, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twentyone years of age in such State. Suction 3. That no person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States or under any State, who, having taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as a judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave, but all such debts, obligations, and claims shall be held illegal and void. Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of tnis section. Tin* Memphis Itiot Investigation. Mk.miiiis, June 7. ? The Congressional Committee closed their labors to-day, and started lor Washington after a session of fifteen working days, in which they have examined one hundred atid seventy witnesses, and taken two thousand pages ? ?: testimony covering the details of the riot, its causes, and its results. Mr. Washburne has gone to St. Louis, taking the stenographer with him for the purpose of analyzing the testimony on the route. The others went direct by the Chattanooga route. It is understood that the full testimony shows the riot to have been greater in its proportions than any statement yet published would indicate. WAMIIXUTOX ITEMS. FRANCE A NT > MEXICO. It is said that advices have been received here from Paris that the Kmperor Napoleon repudiates having in any way been cognizant of the propositions of Austria to send troops to .Maximilian, and he repeats his determination to withdraw the French troops from Mexico. ?

RELEASE OF MB. IH'YCK. Yesterday, Leonard Huyck, President of the Merchants National Hank oi this city, who was arrested on the charge of embezzling public funds, and committed to jail in default of security, succeeded in obtaining the required bail of lifty thousand dollars, and was released. JKKFERSON DAVIS TO J?K RELEASED. A Washington dispatch to the Philadelphia Lt thjcr says : An order will be issued in a short time for the release of Jctlerson Davis, but whether on parole or on bail 1 am at present unable to say. The presumption, however, is, that the release will he on the same terms as were accorded to Messrs. Stephens and Clay. EDUCATIONAL BUREAU BILL DEFEATED. The House to-day, after lull and deliberate discussion, defeated the Kducatioual Bureau bill by the close vote of lllty-nine to aixty-one. Itww defeated by the votes of the New England men, who 'believe in

permitting the States and communities to perform the educational functions of tlio nation. Many arc also opposed to the general tendency to create especial and expensive bureaus for every brand) of physical and moral development. THE VALIDITY OF THE CIVIL RIonTS HILL AOAIN CALLED IN Qt; KMT I ON. The validity of the Civil Rights bill has been again called in question by one Justire Watkim, of Sandy Hook, Md., in Uncase of a charge of rape made by a colored woman in behalf of her daughter against a white man. The justice derided that the evidence of a white witness was necessary before be could take cognizance of the affair. The case was tirst reported to the War Department, and by it referred to the proper authority for investigation. AN OFFICER OF M AXIVM.UN'r STAFF IN WANHI NO TON. Count Resugurier, who hails from Austria, but who, it has been ascertained, is an officer on the staff' of Maximilian, anil here in the interest of the Maximilian government in Mexico, has been stopping at Wil. lard's for the past few days, lie is reported to have had since his arrival frequent interviews with the Assistant Socretan^of State and many of the Committee onTorI eign A Hairs. DAVIS'S PAROLE. The Attorney-General last night notified the counsel of Jcff'cYson Davis that they would be prepared to-day to give them a positive answer to their application for parole in bis case, but at the present writing nothing has been done. It i* said that a majority of the Cabinet are in favor of his being paroled, and it was so far arranged that the amount was fixed as to the required security, which was #250,000. ?

Reports prevalent yesterday about the release of Mr. j Davis originated in fact that Greeley, Augustus Schell, and Horace F. Clarke, of New York, arrived here yesterday to offer bail for Mr. Davis. They are now seeking an interview with Judge Underwood. It ! is understood that the Government con- i siders Mr. Davis a prisoner of war; but that he can he taken into civil custody on a writ of h fit) mis corpus , and that Judge Underwood can then hail him if he chooses. The proceedings regarding bail will he strictly judicial, Lot executive. This is authentic. Capitoi.. Foreign Xe?s. Nkw York, June 10. ?

The right wing of the army retreated to that place from Pigeon Hill, and the men were preparing to go home. The whole force is completely demoralized. Ollicers and men alike refuse to do duty; desertions took place by wholesale, and after a council of war General Spear reluctantly ordered the force to abandon j the soil of Canada. No arms or reinforce- j ments reached there. General Spear said j he would rather be shot than leave in such a way. General Meade made a speech to the United States soldiers, and said the settlement of this trouble would prow satisfactory to our own and other Governments as tending to show that the United States, notwithstanding the past, would | " do to others as they would be done by." General Spear ami staff have surrendered. An Ogdensburg special says that an American schooner was hailed by a British armed vessel under threats to lire on her. ] The American ran tip his colors and sug- 1 gested the danger of tiring on an unarmed J vessel w ith that Hag.
