In consequence of a dilliculiy which has existed for some timo past between the United Suites Consul In the Island of Cyprus and the Turkish nutboritttes, the United States Minister ia Constantinople, Mr. E. Joy Morris, has demanded full satisfaction liom the Sultan and his Cabinet. Pending the negotiations, which assume a rather ecrious aspect, Mr. Morris communicated with Admiral GolUsborough; and the United states war ship liconderoya, Captain Charles Stcedman, which has been lying off the port of Venice, was despatched thence for Cyprus. Cauxe of the Htiarrcl. The following detailed account of the diffi culty between the representatives ot tho United Stales in the Island of Cyprus ami at Constant!- noplc and the Sublime i'orte referred to in our special cable teiegram will be louud of consi derable interest, as matters of great import : may be evolved from the step just now taken by the lion. Mr. Morris: i Some time ago the American Consul at Lar nacu, in Cyprus, Mr. Luii Pulinu (te Cc-nola, took into his acrvice as cuvas a Mussulman native named Mus-tapuii. Shortly afterwards the iiiiulir of the to a a cluimed the in an a a drawn, contcript seeking1 to evade military service, and, 011 the Consul iciudng to give bim up, ordered a party ot znptiehs to enter the house ot the American Consul dragoman a certain Costand Jiebess and cairy on the man. Thereupon the American Consul addressed a formal complaint to the Governor of the iiland, demanding the punibhinent ot the mudir and an uuople apology lor the alleged ouirage on his own ronsular dignity. On inquiry into the tacts, however, the Pasha considered the mudir to be in the right, aud therefore refused the consular tltmiind. Mr. Palma de Ccenola accord inglv "suspended relations," and relerred the matter to the Hon. E. Joy Morris, (he American Minister in Con stantinople. The latter gentleman, accepting his subordinate's version of the tacts, addressed an energetic and categorical note to the Porte, cleti auding: First. The dismissal of the mudir. Second. A personal apolotry trora the Pasha to the Consul at the house ot' tho latter, with u s multuncous salute of twenty-one guns to the American flag. luiid. That done, the dismissal of the Pasha him self. Pourib. The liberation and payment of sub Btantiul compensation to the cavas Mustapha. in ihe event of the Porte's unwillingness to concede these four points, Mr. Morris requested Admiral (Joldeborough, commanding tne Ame rican squadron in the Mediterranean, to send one of his war vessels to Larnace, which has been done.

The Treaty of Peace Between Italy aud Austria. London, September 23. It Is expected that the treaty of peace between Italy and Austria will be signed within a day or two. A Commercial Treaty with Austria. Austria and Italy have agreed to commence negotiations lor a treaty of commerce as soon as peace has been concluded. The basis of this commercial relation is to bo the treaty of com merce of 1861 between Austria and Sardinia. This basis, however, Is only meant to serve as the startine-point tor what are intended to be very intricate commercial relations. The Duchies The Duke of Aitgusten btirg.

General Butler ar rived here irom Oberlin last night. An Immouse crowd bad already gathered at the Kennard House, who cheered tho General on his arrival, and called loudly for a speeeh. He soon appeared on tho same balustrade on which the President stood when he delivered his celebrated Cleveland speech. General Butler happened to be?in bu apaeou t tne am hour, whiau win explain tho reference in his opening sentence. Alter the enthusiastic cheers which greeted his appearance had subsided, he said : Men of Oluo: 1 doubt whether you ought to de sire me to spi ak to you from this place at this hour. I am told that it is an unfortunate place lor speakers, especially in the ev.iuiu (shouts of laughter, and crie of "That's so"); but, undotorrod by the late ot my predecessor, relyiug on your courtesy and kindness, I propose to answer a question or two which ho put to the citizens ot Cleveland from the balcony whore I now s and. After saying that ho humbly represented the entire Government, and after opening bis attack upon Congress, tho chosen repre-eutatives ot tbe poople, ho states this question: "What Constitutional pro vision have I violated?" and then adds "What does tieneral Butler say'' I wnl tell him. En st and foremost, General But.er says that the Piesldent ot the United State has set bim a very difficult task. If ho had ank-d, "What constitutional provision I have not violated", mv task would bave been most easy. But notwith standing that, 1 will endeavor, in tbe moments you allow me, to remind the President of one or two violations of the Constitution of which he has been guilty. First then, and this, I think, has struck tbe American people with more ot shame and mor tification than any other they have seen the Presi dent ot the United States, in derogation ot his high Mice, has been dohberatoly going round the coun try endeavoring to bring the Congress of the United States, a co-ordinate branch of tho Govom nieut, into public hatred, ridicule, and contempt. There Is no parallel to this oonduot in all time pre vious. In tbe great contest, lor examole, when Jacimon was in the chair, between the Executive and Congress, never was heard from that man of iron will and positive convictions anything but the most tespecttul language against the co-ordinato branch ot the Government. What i the duty ot tne President ol the United States in thisbetiati! Jt is to treat each branch of the Government so that each branch may be respected by the poople iu its authority, and it is a gross violation ol'tho principles and ot the spirit of the age, and of the letter of tho I onstitution, when any branch ot tho Government seta itself hourly up against the other. (Cheers ) It is no excuse lor the Prosidout to affirm that Mr. S'eveus, or Mr. Sumner, or any other member of a branch of tbe Government uses unbcoo ning lan guage towards bim, or opposes him, beoauso they are individuals only and not a dopartmont ot the tioverumeut, whereas Cougress as a body has nover treated him otherwiso than with lespect. Ballled in bis hopes of subordinating tbe Congress to his sovereign will, ho was determined to break it down as tar as his voice and influence went, so as to familiarize the people with tho idea that the Con grets is not a constitutional boay, but one watch ought to be suppressed, si lnierfeiinn with the resto ration of thepieace and unity of tho nation. Evi dences ol this design are not wanting. What else did tho question oi his Secretary of State mean, when ho asked tho people of the West whether they would have air. Johnson "King or President?" it was a threat to the people. We answer It In all humbleness. "As neither, thank you, sir." Uheers and lauphtcr. I he President, in his own cholco rhetoric 'has characterised the National Legislature as a rump Congress, as an excrescence hanging onthevergo ot the Government. Mark the lowio ot the argti nient which he here advanced, as he stood on ihe HV.oJj? 7nwn,o,ablo Journey ostens blv made to turned nV.'f'1 ' Xo OUlas, but which .Jni ch 0 X, w own ,uuer1 r'e'?e. daughter t onal bodV beealL'.l' CoD"e" unooustitu- KSftsaU'rii; sS" Now, it ibis Congress is only a "lum'n" of a Ton giess, does rt not follow, by the nio.t tnexorih logic, th( be J hut xump el t'rwWwii, t ots of laughter and cheers. And if the legislative branch is hanging on tbe verre of the 'government. Is not the Executive In like manner hanging on the same verce, so near, indeed, as to tempt us to wish be might tall oft? ( Renewed che rs and lauphter ) Again, In answer to the President's question. "What constitutional provision have I ever violnted?" I aiivwer, he has corrupt!? misused the con-titnttonal power of removal and appointment to office; and overridden that constitutional power which gives to the Senate tbe power ot adv. sing and confirming his appointments. I agree with Attoi n y-tie neral Stauberv in bis opinion that the Constitution gives tbe President tbe unlimited power of removal and appointment, because it mnt Nt lodged somewhere, as bad offioors are to be removed and vacanoe are to bi tilled, that the Government may go on. When in the Conven tion that framed tse Constitution tbe question came np, Shall we give this tremendous power to the Executive? the great and good msn of tne day said, te may use it tor his own purpose, and may theu seize the Government to himsoif. The answer was. We winst still rive it, but any improner use ot it is an impeachable offense. (Cheers) And that Is vet Uo reim dy for a wionglnl use of that power which tho peoplo have resolved to tbemselves. How, then, tel ow-citizens, has the President used this appointing power? Does he consult tbe Senate? Does be not use this power wickedly, corruotly, and tor b's own purpose- f Has he not said always and openly that every man who noes not support bis policy shall be removed ; or, to use bis own chsAti arid din ni tied language, "kicked ont?" (cheers ) Is liat, in all houe-ty and fairness of Jndgmont, a proper nso ot the appointing power? (Cries ot "No I Neitjr!") 1 lie President bas already since the adjournment reoppolnted more than thirty persons to oflico alter they had been rejected by the Senate, upon his own nomination, thus showing that he intends to use this power in spite of and against tho advioo and consent ul the Senate, lhere is nuothsr violation ol tne Constitution ot willed the President bas been guilty. Jt places in Congress the power ot declaring war, and in ibosc nnte tbepoworol controlling the Kxocutive in concluding a ncaco, Irom tbe uocessitv of their rati ii ont ion oi trealioB. Nav, more it requires a vote of two-thirds. Now, by the act ol July 13. 1801, Con grtss, as has been unanimously decided by the Supreme Court, mndo provision for and declarod to existapublio territorial war between the United Slates and insurgent States. That war the greatest in extent and results that the woild ever saw tbe 1'residoet, without con tusing the Senate, has attempted to bring to an end bv bis own proclamation of poace. Ho has done this act. beyond o l question, to omhaiass tne Senate and House in their action towards iho insurgent States that we had connuored. Our p tbllo civil war dit lered from a nubl cwar only in this, that itsrosults mmlit an'oct citizens who were none tho les citizens because ihey were enemies and traitors, and no les public enemies because they were citizens A tor elm war, affecting other nations, could only be lerminatod by treaty, but the tact that ours were domestic enemies makes the case B'ronger against the President, because peaci in such a war might require legislation to regulate the duties and establish tho rights ol Utoly Insurgent subdued citions. Where under the Constitution does the 1'residciit get tho oower to make a peace by bis own act for his own p ir pofcsf Again, the Constitution proides that Con press sha'l make rules for the disposal of all cap tured property by land and sea. 1'his was expressly put there to j.reveut tbo Executive from taking pro' pet ty enptured in war. and cou vertin it to his own use. Kings had claimed in tho O.d World as their pit rotative the control oi property captured from the enemy, and the right to distribute it among their retainers. in making our Constitution our fathers put the control of sneh appointing power into the hands of Cougress. If Congress had made uo ru es for the disposal of captured men and property, pot hap j the exigency might have justified the President in dis posing of them, but Congress oia make rules and regulations for the disposal of that property in the act ol confiscation. Yet, in deiiauce ot these inws, President Johnson. In the exorcts9 ot fie pardoning power, and by bis direct order, has given bnck to public enemies millions and mil, ions ot property captured in war on land and on water, and attompted to dispose of all our enemy's property so captured bv our arms in public war. . The question I now make is not whotbur U is wise or unwise to return pioperty or roinsiatu in their rights such men. but whether in detianco of the Constitution and laws ot Congress he has a right to givo back the property or dispose ot person. Still, again, we in the North bavo to pay our taxes not only to tho interost of tho national debt, but the debts of the individual Ntn'os, ow, although Confres passed a law assessing their duo proportion ol'tho direct iax upon tlio South, and orders sate of property lor the non-payment of these taxes, tho Presidout defied laws on his own respon sibility. He directed all-such sa es to bo stopped at the South, and allowed taxes duo from Rebels to remain uncollected, wbilo lovul mon in tho North must work out both theirs, National and State, when dim, or bave their property sold. Yet the Constitution says the Prosldent shall take care that tbe laws arc faithiully executed, and be makes oath that he will execute the duties of Presi dent. Therefore, my friends, I can say to Presi dent Johnson that General liutler ; that the Congress of the United States, sooner or later, will put on record in due lorm a list of these and other direct violations of the Constitution, and call upon him either to justify them er answer lor them. ( Tremendous and repeated cheers.) General Butler says that when ever a man proves false to pledgos he has given to obtain public position, whenever a man attempts to be' ray his country at th call of personal ambition, whenever a man tries to control tho will of people by corrupting their servants with office and place, whenever a man threatens tho people that he will use their anny and navy against them, whenever a man seeks to revolutionist) th s Govern ment by maliguing a Congress of their choice, and by stigmatizing their purest patriots, whom tliev honor, as traitors, while he fondles the first Kebols in his boom, that man shall surely rind the poop e of the United States and the Congress of the United States can easily devise a remedy tor every wronr done the country, and protection'againat every usur pation of power. (Loud cheers). He wi'l further find that the peoplo of this country know how to deal with a usurping President, a King or a Dicta tor. (Cheers). Permit me now to thank you most gratefully for the too kind and courteous reception you have given me. I must be allowed to think it largely due to the introduction with which the Pre sident presented me to the citizens of Cleveland. ( Laughter). I bid you, each and al1, a lair good nijiht. (Prolonged cheers.) A Case of Crim. Con. In High Life In Louisville, Kentucky. From the Louisville Democrat, September 26. A'' man well known here, and who moves among tho tipper tens, has the fortune of having a wife who is beautiful and attractive, being a great favorite in the society in which she moves; and besides his wife,the family of the eentleman consists in, we believe, two interesting children. 51r. M., as we shall style bim, is often from home, and during bis absence it hai been hinted tluit Mrs. M. had received clandestine visits irom some of the sterner sex, but this her lord would not pay the least attention to, as he bo-lu-vcd the one whom be had taken for lite to bo too pure for such conduct, until one day, re turnlntr homo rather unexpectedly, ho caught, under peculiar circumstances, one in the bed chamber of his wife who proved to be a man, und the truth ot the reports at once flushed across his mind. Instead of drawing a revolver and putting an end to tbe existence of one who hHd marred his pleasure for life, as others have done, he called his servant, hud his children eot ready, rind without saying a word to his wife or her guilty partner, he took the chl'dren and left the city. Counsel have been employed, nnd thoueh a suit for divorce has not yet been insti tuted, it will no doubt be done in a low days. When the case comes before a Chancery Court we will give the full particulurs. but until then the fuels will reninin with the few who are acquainted with the affair. Amous the imme diate acquaintances of th parties it Is creating considerable stir. Testimonial to an Indian. The President has ordered to be forwarded to "Iloo-ke op," or the "Chief," one of the Blackfeet tribe of Indians, a handsome testimonial of esteem for his humane conduct in rescuing a white woman named Fanny Kelly from the hostile Sioux In 1864. and restoriner her to her friends. Tbe testimonial is in the shape of a parchment letter of transmittal, handsomely ornamented with the American coat of arms in colors, ac companied by a large silver medal and one hundred silver dollars. THIRD .EDITION FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON. SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO EVENING TELBORtrU. Washington, October 1. The President Collating; the Points of Ills Forthcoming Annnal Message. It is understood that the President Is employ ing every VMsure moment ho can obtain, in view of the swarm of people who besiege him so con stantly. In consideiing and preparing the politi cal points of his forthcoming Annual Message to Congress, on which more than usual care will be expended. It is stated by those compe tent to know, that some of these points have already been made the subject of Cabinet con sideration. The President will adhere most Btreuuously to the line of polioy that has char acterized his administration. It is believed that he will take the ground that, while the Consti tution leaves It an opn question for the courts whether ordinary legislation is or is not binliug while States are refused representation, that In strument is emphulic io its requirement thai. In the preparation of amendments to the Constitu tion, all the States that claim and are willing to exercise tho right shall bo represented. The President will, therefore1, urge the immediate nd mission oftho loyal and qual'tied Senntors and representatives from all the now unrepresented States, in order that Congress may be enabled to prepare such amendments as the present con dition of the country demands. Ho will also recommend that when Congress is organized according to his views of the constitutional re quirement, amendments be prepared adjusting the questions of representation and taxation to meet the changed condition of the country. It is probable that the President will embody In his message, as a suggestion to Congress, the two proposition? for amendment submitted last winter In his reported conversation with a pro minent Senator. Those propositions were some, what mutilatd in thetr transmission at the time, and a corrected version is, therefore, sent bciewith, as follows: Representatives shall be apportioned amona the several States which may be included within this Union accordina to the number of qualified male voters as preciibed-by pach State. Direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within tin? Union according to tiie value of all property subject to taxation In each State. Tnts amendment not to tike effect until the census of 1870 shall have been taken. From South and Central Ameilca. New York, October 1.

Tliey Discover (hat Religion Is a Mass of Rottenness. TOBACCO ALMOST AS BAD AS RELIGION. CHRISTIANITY ONLY ONE OF THE CRYING EVILS WHICH AFFLICT HUMANITY. Tho Promised Regeneration of this "Priest-ridden, Bigoted, Puritanical, Hypocritical World." In the columns of a morning contemporary we discovered the following advertisement: tJF" INFIDEL CO.NVKNriO ON HUNDaV, 8Uj Instant, in Mitchell's Hall Wo 81J Kourtii s.reet, above Vine at 2 o'o ock P. M. Ooiogatei and others will punctually attend, among whom are many of influence and talent, la the evening addiescs will be do'ivored on the advantages of Free Inquiry, eto , by Horace Soavor, oto., of boston, and othois ot consequonco, to which the pub.ic are mvi ed. Regarding it our duty as public journalists to furnish an exact record of events as they occur, no matter what may be their tendency; and, moreover, considering the arguments generally brought by infidels to the support of their views as tbe moat effective that can be ujed against them, our reporter was instructed to repair to the scene und ascertain wont th so persons "of influence and talent," and such "others of con sequence" as might be present, might have to say for themselves and their belief, tin arriving at tbe designated number, we found that the Convention was io be held in a triuiigular-ehaped upper room, which, during tbo week, is used tor dancing purposes. It was carable of holding about ihree hundred persons but seats were ananaed for only one third of that number, showintr that tho infidels them selves fully realized the fact that tney are few in numbers and far between. At 2 o'clock, t!ie hour fixed for the opening of the Convention, nineteen persons In ail were present. Eighteen ol these wero men; the nine teenth was a boy. Fourteen sat with their hatj on; the remaining tlvo with their hats off. Tbile awaiting the arrival of those who had disregarded the promise in the advertisement, that "delegates and others would punctually attend," 3 Desultory Couversattou appeared to be the only thing in order, and this was kept up in a very earnest manner. The question under consideration by most of the talkers was the character and nature of a Christian. Rut, although our reporter was as attentive as could be, he failed to overhear any satislnctoiy solution of the problem. Tbe nae arts also came in for a share of attention, and the tastes therein of several individuals present were Ireely ventilated. As an incentive to this line of thought, one person kindlv diew from a pocket In his coat-tail a roll of cheao engravings, which he distributed about bim tor examination. The record of Miss Anna E. Dickinson was also gone into, and the fact arrived at that she was ' a Lincoln woman," whatever that may be. Two persons evidently "of consequence." else they would not have been in possession of so much ready money retired to a corner of tho hall to arrange some financial matters, and with such great success that a considerable sum changed hands during the operation. As to those who had no appetite for discussion, or no pocket for financiering, one occupied himself with a newspaper, and half a dozen puddled the floor with tobacco juice, while another sought oblivion in a hearty attempt at whistling. In this way the time passed, until quarter of three, when about seventy-five persons were present, among them five 'ladies of unpreten tious appearance. The Convention Organizes.' Mr. Becket arose and moved that the Conven tion organize by selecting as Chairman Mr. Walhn, ot Philadelphia, which motion pre vuiied, as a mat ter of course. The Chairman; on, taking his seat at a school desk on one side of tbe room, proved to be a little, old gentleman, with prey bair, a huge moustache, andla very slipjiery tongue. He suggested the propriety of appointing the other customary officers; where upon Mr. Becket was selected lor Secretary, and Mr. Mendon, of the Boston Investigator, for Treasurer. ' The Chairman then suggested that it would be well for the Convention to select a Committee on Resolutions and Address. The proposition did not meet with especial favor at first, but finally prevailed, and the following gentlemen were constituted the Committee: Messrs. Horace Beavor, Lilly, and Richardson. The Convention Hard to Find. The ChRirmnn hero oio'ml i, 1 i several gentlemen to" have eerienced s0Ine difficulty in finding the hall iS which they werl as-cmbled. He suggested that some person passers-by that tho Infidel Convention was Wit.Li.n AuPTon volunteered to do this diTty and lef t the hall lor the purpose.
