?km politics should never enter?nine-tenths
?looted were nominated by tbe democrats.
There must be some earns for a revolution so
/Complete?a defeat so overwhelming to tbe
republicans, aud a triumph so universal as the
conservatives have obtained. At the Noveui
?ber, or tbe State election, the people of this city
gave their opinion in reference to the manage
ment of the war, by de'euling every candidate
"Dominated by the party that is responsible for the
?war and the couduct of the war. Not a nominee
of the republican party had a ghost of a chance
?of election. The repudiation of the rcpublicau
nuamunageraof tl e war was emphatic and deci
sive. At the charter election which has just
taken place the republicans nominated Robert
T. llaws, the present efficient incumbent, for
-Comptroller. Notwithstanding the fact that he
has the confidence of the bu-in<'es men, property
-holders and taxpayers of the city, nine-tenths ol
"Whom preferred him to any other mm for that
-office, yet, fearing thut his success might be
claimed as a change in public opinion and us
?n endorsement of the conduct of the war, they
?cast their votes for Brennan, the candidate of
?fce conservatives, thus preferring to lake the
chances under his administration, although he
had no experience as a financial officer, together
with the daugcr of his being used by the City
Hall cliques, to that of electing llaws and
having lib success claimed at an endorsement
of the management of the war. Nine-tenths of
our taxpayers were satisfied and approved of
Haws' management of tlie finances of tbe city,
while, ou the other band, Brennan was compa
ratively unknown to tliem, and no one believed
that he would make us good a financial officer i
us ilawa; b"?l this made no d.fforenc - as lon-.r as !
there was any danger of llaws electiou being :
claimed as u change of opinion from that of No- i
vember. The voters stood re.uy to take all tbe
risks of a less competent officer. In short, tbeu the ;
verdict ol the people at the charter election m
this city is but a repetit on of that in November,
when Governor Seymour em r ed the city by i
?over thirty thousand majority. The November ?
election was, in tuci. the grand jury bringing in
an indictment against the intriguers at Washing
ton for mismanaging the war. That indictment
was submitted to the people at*the recent char
ter election, and has been approved by the
people by an overwhelming majority.
Our Harbor Dki kncks.?Secretary Welles, in

Washington, I>ec. 3,18<>2.
MOW MB. LINCOLN'S PKOPOHKl) AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION 18 TO BK AUOPIKD.
Considerable commotion ban been created in political
circles here by the discovery of Mr. Lincoln's method
by which bo expects to be able to secure the three-fourths
<V"te of the States in favor of the amendments of the
ooaetitntion which he proposed in the lost annual
Massage. With the slave Stales in insurrection, and the
number or the States remaining the same, the scheme is
clearly impracticable, and shrewd politicians were won
dering why Mr. Lincoln should devote so much sjiace to
<t. The President, however, knew what he was about.
His plan Is aa follows:?
He fuels conhdout that in addition to the nineteen free
fltatee which are certain to vote for the amendments he
requires, he could secure the co-operation of the Ave Dor
dor8tatea?that U to say Jtolawure, Maryland,Kentucky,
Missouri, and a Legislature will be elected under the aus
gpioes of Governor Johnson in Teonessee. But still this is
not euSotent to oonstitute n three-fourths vote. It is,
therefore, intended that either six now Stutes are to be
added to the Union, or else Legislatures are to be elected
In those revolted States in which we have a military foot
bold. Western Virginia Is to be admitted as a separate
State, which will count fbr one; and a Legisla
ture will he elected In Louisiana, which wdll count
tor two; another in Florida, aad at ill another in
North Carolina, making four, and then Nebraska and per
gtaps one other Territory will bejadmltted as sovereign
States, the legislatures of which, it is supposed, will be
under the control of the administration.
U will thus be seendbat Mr. Lincoln had his plan pre
pared by which the proposed amendments to the const!'
-tut loo oould be effected, and it is believed here that this
programme will be made the administrative policy in the
coming session. If necessary the Governors of (be re.
nneoiive States will be requested to cell tbe Legislatures
-of all the States together at an extra session, in order to
c'insumuin'-e this, In tbe President's view, very desirable
measure of tho gradual abolition ot slavery in the United
State*.

it to lie upon the 11th, l'ilh or 13th of .March,
but it was the Same day on which General
Mc"lellau made a countermarch from Alexandria
to Fairfax. Witness testified, in reference to the rations
given to McDowell's troops at this time, that thry wore
interior; he said ho would have gone hungry before ho
would have eaten the mout, auu his teeth would not
make an impression on the crackers, and Ihe water of the
region was unpalatable. Witness could not testify, to
his own personal knowledge, of the truth of the charges
made by him in his St. Mark's place letter against General
McDowell.
After Colonel Goodwin bud finished hie testimony he
was questioned at length in regard to his position lu tho
voluutoor service by General McDowell. He claimed, in
his replies, to be duly appointed Colonel of the President's
Life Guard of New York City, under orders irom the Pre

THB OAS! OK GENERAL Frrz JOHN PORTER.
In the Porter court martial I he charges and speciOca.
lions pre'errod by Brigadier General Kokerts, chic' of
General Pope's .slaiT, were read by Judge Advocate Holt
The first charge is, violation of the ninth article of war,
and has five specifications of dtroliertiouco of orders re
ceived from General Pope, on the 28th and 29th of August,
1882. The second charge Is, violation of the fifty-second
article of war, in failing to attack the enemy according
to orders while General Pope's army was fighting superior
numbers. Tne specifications arc three In number on this
charge, and rcrer to the action of the 28th and SOMi of
August, 1882. The last specification was abandonod by*
thn Judge Advocate, tho government having no testimony
to sustain It. This rotates to the tardiness of General
Porter, hia allowing the enemy to know of his move,
menu, and the feebleness of his demonstmtion on the
?Olh of August at Manasaas. A point of illegality In tho
present proceeding against General Porter, raised by his
oounacl, Reverdy Johnson and Mr. fcamet, was overruled.
The court then adjourned.

THE CONVALESCENT CAMPS.
Representat'ves Covode and Gooch, members of the
Joint committee on the Condust of the War, having heard
unfavorable accounts respecting the condition of the con
valescents' camp near Alexandria, visited it this alter,
noon lor personal inspection. They found that a large
number of soldiers there are totally Incapacitated for
aclive service, and should be promptly discharged, whilo
thoy discovered abuses which they will make au early
efiort to have removed. Tbey attach no blame whatever
to Cob nel Belknap, the officer In charge, being satisfied
that he has doue the best he could under the circum
stances. There are over 10,000 convalescent rocrul'.-,
Ac., at the camp, of whom 2,000 aro from Pennaylvsn a
Officers have been detailed for dividing off tho soldiers
in the t onvaiesccut Camp into the respective regiments,
brig,-tdc-t, divisions and corps to which they properly be
long, to avoid confusion and facilitate their return to their
legimcnts lu tho field. There are several thousands of
this description or troops, and it Is desirable that they
shall now rejoin tho army, as the paymasters are on the
eve of pay mg off the troops. Pun-led prisoners, that
have been exchanged,of whom there are some hundreds
here, are to be tri-Atod likewise.
CAUSE or SICKNESS IN TH". ARMY.
It has been ascertained, by.the inspection of medical
officers, that the chief cause of disease among the soldiers
of the nrruy is the improjwr pro|?ratiott ef their rations
Dr. Vol I tint has recently made a proposition, which wil1
be strongly recommended by the Surgeon General, that
a system of cooking shall be organized in the army by
which this evil maybe remedied. It Is propotod that a
cor (is of cooks shall be appointed or enlisted, or that
men already enlisted familiar with cooking shall
be specially and permanently detailed frcm each
company for that service, with the view as far as
possible to utilize the rations of the soldiers and mako
digestible fiffil. It is bclievod that tho introduction of
such an organization will tend ve y greatly to improve
the health of the troops, and prevent tho practice of
sti iggling, which is found so difficult to correct. In most
Instances the straggling is begun in a search fbr food, and
! If tho food were properly prepared hy regular onoks
for each company or regimont, the soldiers would b0
| more eager to get to camp for a good meal than to fall
behind to seek It on tho roadside.

'?I tli-Now Voik /'iwAt of or about' tin* name date, con
tains a rocent alle;od discovery of n> ir? oduicut or trea
sonable appropriation of a sum of of' the !4t!i
of April last., by the limit ol New ftrle* 'Ut. through itn
President, Mr.' Bavin, it;? cn.-'liier, ?v :/U Italia, mid a

secretly deposited witti the I'Vonch Constl, t'wv nt Me an.
It is also said that this nucuni was setz?d in Mm bands of
that Consul by Major Ccifflu Butler, and was on ' of the
sums which Mr. Revordy Johnson, as Commas* mer of
the United Stales, appointed by the Proaideut, Tnvestt.
g-'ted during the p.?st summer, and "advinsd Mu? govern
inmit to pay baric,"' aud it is insinuated that thiw .advice
was given ciih"r from Ignorauco or a worse cense.
The respectability of tli" Toner, and of many Ol' the
iwtpers into which these publications have becu edg'tad,
makes it proper, in the judgment of the t'ommiMimior,
that thuy be briefly noticed in advance of his repart,
which he supposes wilt bo ere long transmitted by the
President to Congress.
The charges, as fur as they involve the Commi.iHieuer,
aro false in every particular. The only sums of money
seized by General Butler in the hands of lorolgn uoilsiiIm
which wcro before Mr. Johnson, and reported u(oa by
him. wore two:?

tion of ttie Board of Directors of tli<* rftiZ?tlg> Hank of
New Orleans (not, the Bauk of New Orlaai.s), of the 24th
of February, was paid to Mr. Kdward J. Forsiall,of
that city, a gcutlmasn of the highest character. and far
years the agent of .Mensre. Hope w Co.,of Amsterdam, to
be transmitted at the tlrst opportunity te that hoiiae, to
ermbie It to protect the credit ot the Citizens' Hank and of
the Slate of Louitiaua, by paying us it aoorwd the inte
rest on certnln bond" of the state, long before loaned to
the bank, under an agreement that before disposing of
them theyShould eudorse them, and alipulato to meet
puui i na!!y the iutoreet and principal. The bonds were
negotiated in Europe many years since by the bauk,
through the ngeoey of the Amsterdam house, and tho in
terest that bad fallen due from time to time, up to the
period of the advance to Mr. tors tall, bad been regularly
paid through the seme agency.
Mr. Forstall, having no safe plane of his own fbr so
largo an amount or coin, deposited it for security with the
Consul of the Netherlands, taking his receipt for It at the
time of lb# deposit. The transaction on the part of the
bank was in no respect a secret one. The resolution
which determined u|<un it was nnunimoiwly adapted at a
full meeting of the Board of Directum, and inserted in
their journal of proceedings, and all the corresponding
and necessary entries were made in their appropriate
plan's in the booke of the bank. With this transaction
the Hank of Now Orleans had no connection or interest
whatever, nor had the French f'onsul, tur cither of tho
persons nnmwl in ibo publications referred to. Nor lias
the money, iu whole or in part, b?eu sent to Havana in a
Spanish war steamer, or in auy oilier way. I nder lb*
