Verdict in the WlrsCase, la Guilty. New York, Oct. 26.?The Herald's Washington special says the delegates to the late State Convention of Alabama united in memorializing Presidont Johnson to order a speedy trial of Clement C. Clay, and in the meantime to release him on parole from the rigor ous confinement to which lie has been subjected sinco his arrest. The memo rialists state that they havo not made this application from any motivo of sympathy with the past political course of Mr. Clay, as for the part he took in the late rebellion, but that, on the con trurv, many of them havo uniformly condemned his efforts to incite rebellion and secure success to the revolutionary movement. They ask this on his bo half, because his implication in the un paralleled and,atrocious assassination of Mr. Lincoln is regarded by them as uttorly impossible and unsupported by a shadow of credible testimony. The President has the matter under advise ment. The probabilities ure that the prayers of tho memorialists will be granted. The report of Superintendent Sells, of tho Southern Indian Superinten dency, was submitted to the Commis sioner of tho Indian Bureau of tho In terior Department yesterday. It says that tho bitterness of feeling caused by forays of whito bushwhack ers into tho territory of the Indians forms a great obstacle to tho negotiation of favorable treaties with them. These bushwhackers carry on a regularly or ganized system of wholesale cattle steal ing, by which it is estimated that tho tribes have lost over 300,000 head of cat tle, valued at between $4,000,000 or $5,000,000. Nineteen thousand Indians are now being subsisted by the government iu this superintendence'. A special to tho N. Y. Times, dated , Washington, Oct. 25th, says: An influential body of the citizens of tho States of South Carolina and Flori day. accompanied by .some northern gentlemen in high official position, called upon tho President to-day nnd, urged him to rescind his order with re gard to the Sea Island property and Freed men. The rescinding of tho or der is recommended also by Gov. John son. of Georgia. Tho President declined to interfere with the order, at all events, until lie shall receive tho report of Gen. Howard, who is now under the order referred to, investigating tho. condition of Freed mon's affairs upon Sea Island. In the course of tho interview the President stated that ho was opposed to tho plan of colonization of tho Freed mon, believing that by contact with the whites their intellect wonld bo develop ed and sharpened, and thoir condition in all things improved. An examination of the officers of tho veteran reserves, discloses the fact that two per cent of tliom aro disabled from wounds; four per cent from disease, and four per cent IVom accidental frac tures, Ac. The board to examino officers for col ored troops, recently sitting in Wash ington, has been dissolved by order of: tho War Department and a now board organized, which will meet in Balti more for the examination of candidates for Appointment of officers of tho United States Veteran volunteers, 1st Army Corps nnd United States colored troops. Tho sentence of tho Court Martial in the case of Assistant Quarter Master A. L. Thomas, is to-day promulgated. Ho j was sentenced to be cashiered, but the Secretary of War in consideration ofi previous good character, allowed him I to resign. A special to the World dated Wash ington 25th, says: Hon. Caleb Cushing leaves for Eng land on next Wednesday's steamer on a special legal mission connected with tho Suite Department. . Thus far his busi ness is kept confidential, but it is very clearly surmised that it has reference to an adjudication of the claims for dam ages made by this government on Great Britain for depredations of the Alaba ma on American commerce. It" is be lieved that the government hns accepted tho proposition of Earl Russell, to ap point a commission to sottlo' such clnlms. The rumor that Wirz is to bo hanged on Friday is Ihlse. It is believed that the charge of conspiracy has been aban doned in the findings, and it is the im Eresslon, generally, that tho prisoner as been convicted on the other charges, and sentenced to bo hung on such da}' as the President shall designate. The Tribune's Washington special says: Three hundred and sixty-ono thous and five hundred and five dollars and ninety cento is duo tho Government from tljo defaulting Postmasters of the Southern States, which they retained when the rebellion broke out, and thev aro now being called upon for this amount. Tho Virginia Postmasters are most in arrears, owing 90,090,447. As all their securities wore requited to have real estates, it is bolioved that the largor rtionof.this sum can be rooovered. 1801 thoir refusals to pay the sums ^vore often tibusivo nnd arrognnt, nnd now their tone is apologetic and pover ty pleading. The verdict in tho Wirz case is guilty. Heeling: or. the OcorKln Ntulc Conven tlon?MownRe or Gov. JohnKon. New Yoiik, Oct. 26.?Tho He raid's special from Milledgevillo, tin., dated yesterday says, the Georgia State Con vention met in the State House to-day. Provisional Governor Johnson called, the meeting to order in a brief speech. Over 270 delegates were present. The amnesty oath was administered by Jmlges Averon and Harris, and the Governor called for a vote by ballot for permanent President. It was expect ed that Mr. Cfaas. J. Jenkins, of Rich mond oounty, would be unanimously nominated, put he declined peremptori ly andnominated Herscliel V. Johnson, of Jefferson county. After discussion it was decjdod to vote viva voce. Mr; Johnson-received all the votes cast with , the exception of a few complimentary | ones for Mr. Jenkins. On taking the ; | chair, Mr. Johnson made a speech, in 1 which he suggested the duty of the ! Convention and clearly indicated what,1 in consideration- of the surrounding! circumstances, must be done. The J past, he said, cannot be corrected, but 1 we can rescue our prosperity from its consequences.; A message was received from Gov. -Johnson on important matters. II* announced that all the cotton pur chased by the State: had been captured or burned; that all assets of the State abroad had been drawn to the faill; that all licenses of income are availa ble, and that therefore it had become hecessary for him to provide for the immediate emergencies. He invited attention, to proposals for .borrowing such money to the' amount' of $50,000, and to the'redistricting of the State for members .of Congress under the new apportionment. He also reccommehds a change in the mode of representation tb tho General Assembly. After, some local suggestions, he stated the debt of the State is *20,813,525. of which only $2,667,750'was contracted belore the war. The debt contracted before the war,-he said, Is an honorable one, but the other is.pn a.yery different basis;-having no legal or moral obligation.'' The confed erate. currency ana cause flourished to gether in life andrauSt be buried in the same grave. < The convention is the ablest assem blage. $ver convened in the State, and the prospect is that its action will be harmonious, conservative and in all respek^s'gratlfying. ; .

The steamship Damascus, from Que bec, arrived at Liverpool on the 14th inst. The steamship Australasian, .from New York, arrived off Crook Haven at 7 o'clock on tho morning of the 14th inst. Great Britain.?The English papers generally have articles on the corres pondence between Mr. Adams, the American Minister, and Earl Russel, fust published and signed. The Lon don Times says that it is the most im portant correspondence in reference to the rights and duties of nations that has been carried on for many years be tween the representatives or two great maratimo countries. The Times can hardly doubt Earl Russel*s proposal for a convention Will ultimately be accept ed as the most satisfactory method of adjusting the outstanding claims be tween the two nations. , No foreign soverigen nor State could, have entered into even the detail of ex act specific claims and counter claims, for it must not be forggtten that we too^ have large bills against tho U. S. for damages incurred T>y British subjects during the war.. Still less could we have consented, as Earl Russell points out, to submit tho bona tides of our government or the legal competency of our law officers to the judgment of any foreign government. The best and only solutioi) of tho difficulty, therefore, was' thus suggested by Earl J^ussoll, and wo': earnestly hopo it will bo the means for the termination ofa'controversy, which, but for tho forbearance shown by both. parties, would certainly have led to a mistrust between great Britian Jand tho United States. The candid and friend ly tone of arguments so elaborately conducted by Earl Russell and Minister Adams justitls theso expectations. Tho Times winds ui> its article by pointing to tho Fenian movement in America as threatening a breach of the' foreign enlistment act, and says that this tenches us to look at such proceed ings from an American point of view audit will help our critics to look at them from our point of view. In the meantime let us agree to differ amica bly and not allow a transient feeling of jnlousy or resentment to prejudice tho permanent settlement of a question in which all tho mnrtino nations are equally concerned. . Tho Times in.another article contends that if England cboso to bo angry or inconsiderate, she would have greater reasons to complain of {America's posi tion as a neutral in the Fenian move ment than ever America has had in re furd to England's attitude toward the outh, inasmuch as the Fenian plot was formed In America by American citizens, although tho conspirators may have been mostly of Irish extraction. Tho Times, however, admits that the American Government has acted, in re gard to the movement of tho Fenians, with all honorable openness, notwith standing the secret filibustering plots of its citizens. The Morning Post thinks that Earl Russell's proposition to the American Government Will most probably bo ac cepted. * 1' / ? The daily News says: It is clear that tho 'discussion of tho question is exhausted, and tho British Government- has distinctly declared that tho question is, "have Her Majes ty's Government acted with good faith and honesty,".. and if this bo so tho public will agreo with tho foreign min ister that it cannot bo entortaiued or re-' ferged'to any potentate or state what ever. The Daily News continues, if it bo absolutely necessary to British hon or and dignity, that tho claims be bynBinijplo negative, parliament ami the people'mnst maintain that position. It hopes, however, that the. good sense of modern statesmen may, beforo long, tlnd a solution for difficulties which may be serious, but are surely not iree*' parable. Tho Times, of tho 14th instant con tains tho following official statement: "In order to guard against any mis understanding we are requested to re state that the proposal of Earl Russell to the American government was ooh4 veyod in tho following words, ' Hef Majesty's government was ready to consent to the appointment of a com mission to wliich shall bo referred all the olnims.nr)smg during the lato am warfwhich' tho two power&.shoulda'grcd to refer to . tho : commissioners.'? These including words limit the sub ject of reference since it.wpuld b(jr in consistent with the position taken up by Her Majesty's government, arid with the argument "which induce it to declare arbitration to .'decide the claims for losses by thoAlpbama dnd other vessels of the same character to bo brought be fore the commission for discussion." It must be understood, therefore, that if any such, coin mission were ngued in theso cases It' inua? ' excluded from its Jurisdiction. .

New Yokk, Oct. 20.?The Commer cial says tho stringency'in-money con tinues, but with a slow tendency to ward lower-rates of interest. The west ern cities have, not only ceased to draw currency from Now York, but the cur rent' has set in tho opposite direction, tho Chifago banks being now uuablo to get currency to meet their obllgalions. Tho government has disbursed liberal ly during the hist few days at Cincin nati, winch-will tend to produco easo at that poldt. The Washington demand for money -may therefore be' considered past,' but the South continues still to require large amounts in payments for cotton. The Treasury has paid out about $12,000,000 of currency, on account of temporary loans called in, most of which, we have rtlason to believe, has been taken from the idle balnnco held in the Treasury without draining upon its deposits in the actual banks. This is a substantial offset against tho withdrawal of the funded currency, but it iiiiist be remembered that it will ne cessitate an early drawing down of tho deposits with; the> national banks than would otherwise have occurred, and this liability on tho part of tlio Banks will necessitate their hold ing amplo resources. The demand tor money on call is active. Applications were made early by the brokers, and tho resources of tno private Bankers had been 'mostly encaged at noon.? The sales in gooil collaterals is gene rally 7 per cent, with fewer exceptions at additional rates.
