CANDIDATES FOB UNITED STATE8 SENATORSHIP.
The election over in New Jersey, tbe vacant
United States Senatorsbip is now receiving the
attention of the Republican papers in the prin

tioned in connection with the position, are Gov
ernor Ward, the Hon. H. tf. Cougar, the Hon.
George T. Cobb, the Hon. F. K. Frelinghuyseu,
and Governor Newell. Of these, the Hon.
Giorge T. Cobb is by far the strongei-t man
before the people, and when it becomes the duty
of the Legislature to rih th vacancy, 110 name
presented to it will receive more favorable con
sideration. It is understood, however, that Governor
Ward will appoint some one of the above-named
gentlemen ro fill the position temporarily, or
rather until the meeting of the Legislature in

firm or reject bis appointee.

THE TWO RIVAL CONGRESSES.
from tte Independent.
The late elections have determined tbe roll
list of the Fortieth Congress. The interval bo
tween the elections and the 1st of December is
to determine the temper ot the Tblrtv-ninth.
The Fortieth Congress will have little to tax its
statesmanship if the Thirty-ninth shall do its
duty. It Is in the power of the unexpired
Congress, at its remaining session, to rob its
successor, in advance, of tbe immortal honor of
reconstructing the Union on the basis of equal
rights. W hether or not It shall evince the wis
dom and fidelity adequate to the great occasion,
must depend, in some degree, on the character
of its members, but to a greater degree on the
popular will during the next thirty or sixty days.
If Mm at or ami I?fnrspnt.nfiofa nnm ot t,nn,
and mingling with their constituents, are made
to understand that their next winter's work
must not, and shall not, be degraded into a
compromise of the great principle of political
equality, they will cheerfully go to Washington
to do what their own hearts have long prompted
them to do, and what they would long ago have
done exCCDt "tor frnrnf tho nonnlo n.,4 .
solemnly believe that Congress has, for a year
past, undervalued the popular conscience. 'The
people has been in advance of Congress, in de
manding justice, for many months past. Nor
can the people be cbareed with opposing them
selves as an obstacle between CoDgress and im
partial suffrage. The failure to make impartial
suffrage tbe policy of reconstruction rests upon
Congress alone, not upon the people; lorif Con
gress had adopted this policy, the people would
have ratified it just as they ratified Abraham
Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation.
But if the popular will was misunderstood by
ConTess dining its first session, let it not be
misunderstood durine the second. Let public
meetings, let the conversation of the streets, let
the multudlnous sheets of the Dress, let tho
solemn appeals of the pulpit, everywhere swell
the voice by which the tree and victorious
North shall command the national legislature
to conform its plan of reconstruction to liberty
and justice, to the Chrimian rcligiou and tne
golden rule, to peace on earth and good-will
towards men.

Timid statesmen and hall hearted Republicans
may agree to pretend that the Constitutional
amendment is a just and final settlement. But
tbey deceive themselves. The Constitutional
amendment is not a just and, therefore, shall
not be a final settlement.
The Southern loyalists openly call the amend
ment a mockery, if considered as the ultimatum
to the Rebels. So far as any local conventions
or general committees of the Republican party
have undertaken to pledge that party to the
Constitutional amendment as the touclntone of

of these withered and dead promises will hang

Its leading members cherish the secret wish
to make impartial suffrage the golden gate of
readmission. It remains to be seen whether
they will have the courage to stand or fall by
their conscientious conviciiODs. From now till
the first day of winter, it will be the duty of
the people to breathe the breath of life into the
nostrils of their Representatives before they go
to Washington. Meanwhile, let it bo under
stood that the Thirty-ninth Congress is to be
allowed no excuse lor not completing the work
of reconstruction so far as to leave to tbe
Foitieth no other share than simply to join in
the general thanksgiving over the vroelania

MEXICAN MISSION.
lieutenant-General Sherman and Minister Camp
hell in New York Their Reception at
the Metropolitan Hotel Last Even
ing -The Departure To
Morrow, Etc. Etc
Lieutenant-General Sherman arrived here
ab ut eleven o'clock last night, and went at once
to the Metropolitan, wnere he had secured
rooms by telegraph. He was accompanied by
Lieutenant-Colonel James C. Anderson, of the
United States Army, and Campbell and
his daughter. Rooms had been obtained by
some ot the General's friends at the Hoffman,
but owing to the telegram inlorming bun of the
fact not being received in time, he secii-,xt
apartments lor himself as above mentioned. As
the General alighted from his carriage he was
greeted with he,irty cheers by a number oi per
sous who had assembled in and around thi
hotel lor the purpose of seting him. He retired
at once, seeing only a few Intimate friends. His
programme for to-day has not yet been deter
mined upon, but he will probably pass the
morning in going about the city, and devote the
afternoon or evening to a public reception. To
morrow ne will embark upon the Sutquvhanna
and sail for Mexico, nccompanb-d by Mr. Camp
bell, our newly appointed Minister to that
country.
This mission is understood to be an endeavor
to lecoucile the Ortega ami Juarez parties upon
tbe departure of Maximilian. General Ortega
said, before he left this city, that as soon as the
war with the French was ended he would pro
pose to Juarez that an election for the Presi
dency should be held, by the result ot which
both were to abide. If Juarez accedes to tbls
proposition, General Sherman's mission will be
an easy one; but if the Libe als fight among
themselves, it is whispered that Sherman is
authorized to support Juarez, Hnd employ the
at-sistance of United States troops in maintain
ing his authority.
Such, it is said in well-informed circles, are
the instructions under which General Sherman
U to act. This position of our Government to
wards Mexico has, ft is stated, been taken in
consequence of the intrigues of Senor Romero,
Juarez's Minister at Washington; but it is fir
tbe advantage of Mexico to oe governed by aa
established power, even though it Is necessary
10 "do evil that good may come." Mr. Camp
bell's directions, oi course, correspond with
those of General Sherman, and, it is almost
needless to say, he Is fully empowered to sup
port the General in any course which he may
deem fit to support.
At the hotels, although much talk prevailed
concerning tbe General, and many rumors re
garding him and his mission were flying about,
there was an almost unanimous feeling ex-
piesed to let him alone for the night, and not
to deprive him of the rest which he must so
much have needed after his long and fatiguing
journey. 4
At one of the np-town hotels quite a number
of Mexican and French residents of the city
were collected, and a small host of Mexicans
stood discussing the prospects ot ''el Mejico"
and the Intention sot "el jeneral Sherman" until,
upon a proposal being made by one of their
number to take some ayuadienle, the whole
party moved ou" towards the bar room.
At tho door of the same hotel were two
Frenchmen, who were engaged in conversation
about city affairs and toe recent elections.
Near-by wa an Irishman, leaning against one
ot tie pillars, and calmly and meditatively
smoking a coal-black dhudcen.
One of the Frenchmen naopeneI to mention
the tact of Sherman's departure.
"Sherman," said his companion, "ou ta t-U?
"A Moxique," was the reply.
"Make sick !" broke in the will Irishman,
"make sick! Be jabervau' if he doesn't, make
them duirty froa-atin' Frenchman sick if tbey
don't lave the counlhry, I'm a goat."
The Frenchmen gazed at him for a few mo
ments in astonishment, and then, dimly real
izing that some insult had been offered to their
beloved France and their people, they began
wildly gesticulating and pouring: forth a torrent
of words, which the I r Is n man listened to with
either philosophic calmness or ignorance of the
language. After exhausting upon him their en
tire vocabulary of abusive woids and terms,
they withdrew in disgust, leaving Paddy tbe
master of the situation," and ruminating over his
pipe ana tiie "irog-aTers."
Although General Sherman's stay in the city
is to be so short, be will, without doubt, have
ample opportunity of experiencing the hos
pitality for which New Yorkers are famous, and
of observing how New York can not only
esteem a hero, but admire one who treats a
lallen foe with magnanimity, and a subdued
enemy with generosity and trust. S. Y, World
of to-day.
Launch of the 'Great Republic."
THE LARGEST AMERICAN VESSEL AFLOAT.
The steamship Great Ifrpublic, the largest
American vessel ever built, was launched at
10 o'clock this morning from the shipyard of
Mr. Henry Steers, at Green point. ,
The vessel went off herwavs beautifully, at
exactly 10 o'clock, with about'one hundred and
fifty persons on board, and in presence of not
far from a thousand spectators. The movement
was so rapid that bulk anchor chains were
broken, and the two anchors that were sus
pended were lost. A schooner which was tar
out came near being sunk, and the Great Be
public would probably have crossed the river
and struck on the other side, if she had not been
prevented by tugs, which had been stationed in
her course, and which were fastened to her as
she came up.
Amone the persons present at the launch
were First Assistant Postmaster-General Mc Lei
land and Mr. Black fan, First Auditor of the
Post Office Department, They were here on
behalf ot tbe Department.
The vessel was built for the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company's new line to China and
Japan, and will probably sail for the Pacltlc
Ocean in May next. It has been announced that
the is to be the pioneer ship of that line. The
lact is that she is the first vessel built particu
larly for the American and the Chmose and
Japanese trade; but the steamship Colorado,
constructed for the New York and San Fran
cisco line, has been altered, and will sail from
San Francisco on the 1st of January, 1867, for
Hong Kong, China, by way ot Yokohama, Japan.
It is an interesting fact that passage tickets to
China and Japan will be sold in France and
England, and the passengers taken out by way
of New York.
The dimensions of the Great Republic are as
follows: Extreme lencth, 380 feet; breadta of
beam, 60 feet; depth. 31 feet 6 Inches. Her Cus
tom House measurement is 4600 tons, and her
carpenter's measurement about 6300 tons. She
is planked over her timbers, aud diagonally
s'rapped with iron bands on the outside, as well
as ou the Inside with bands five inches wide.
She Ir also doublv clanked over the straps out
side, and is tbe strongest as well as the largest
wooden vessel afloat.
6be is to have an upright beam engine, with a
cylinder 106 Inches iu diameter and 12 feet stroke
of piston. Her wheeU are 40 feet in diameter.
The vessel will be ready tor sea next spriug.
The Acriafo was the next largest American
vesseL Her carpenter's measurement was, we
oelieve, 4800 tons. JVeio York Evening Fost.

MATERIAL FOR ROMANCE.
A llegcd Breach of Promise Case-$43,000
Damages Claimed.
Quite an interesting case was brought ud iu
the Superior Court, Trial Term, before Judge
J'.ues, this morning, in which Caroline A.
Jirowcr asks for th
her wounded feelings and repair the damngos
oono her brokeu heart, by the alleged refuel of
Charles E. Fleming to marry ber as he pronilied
ho would. r
The lady herself took the stand and unfolded
her tale. She is apparently about thirty years
ot age, tall, of graceful carriage, and rathor in-
luuiKuui-iuuKuig. sne was attired in a iamion
ably made drees of mouse-colored silk, with a
neat sacque and ornaments.
She testioed that she had known Charlie for
about filteen years; that in the spring of last
year Charlie asked her if she would be his wife;
Cariesatd she would: Charlie kissed her, and
the matter was settled, but, before leaving,
Charlie took ber in his arms, embraced ber. and
said she should be bis wife. Charlie kept visit
ing her for a while, but gradually dropped off,
and at last ceased visiting her altogether, About
two months after this be sent ber the cards for
his wedding to another lady.
This was too much, and the plaintiff com
menced the present proceedings.
The defendant, wno is quite a young man,
denies positively that be ever promised to marry
the plaintiff, lie also claims that her same is
not Caroline A. Brower, but that she was a mar
ried woman named Sheldon, who had been
divorced from her husband, owing to the inil
debtj oX the latter, JV. r. Jkprttt,

It appears from a calculation lately made
by a gentleman in France, that the honor of
employing tbe greatest quantity of paper annu

might have been supposed, belong to Europe
but to America, since the Quantity made nu f
in France only amounts to ninety million kilo
grammes, and in England one hundred kilo
