Mn 600 BROADWAY. New You. EVENING BULLETIN. 'fircUredity, December 5, 11807. GRANT trig NNW YORK.. t .f- The great meeting at the Cooper Institute, in New York, last evening, vas a splendid affair. The style of men who managed it, and the tone of the. speeches which -advo cated the nomination of Gen. Grant, will tell powerfully upon • the whole Republican party of the country. The great feature of the occasion was the speech of General Sickles. In an effort of great eloquence and admirable argument, he gave an exposition of General Grant's views which is the strongest endorsement which the nomination for the Presidency has yet received. Gene ral Sickles defends the nomination of General' Grant on the broadest Republican principles, and the more distinctly those IninciPles were enunciated the more hearty was the response of his vast audience. His tribute to Kr. Stanton, his defence of pongress, his denunciation of Mr. Johnson, his assertion of the • rights of all classes of loyal men, Ids repudiation of the policy which seeks to ignore the rebel lion, all came in, in harmony , with his main theme df General . Grant for the Presidency. The speech is racy throughout. It cute right and:left, and its pungent hits at the local politics of New York are mingled with flying shots at Philadelphia and hiassachusetts, equally well-deserved. • , The other speeches of the eyening, espe cially that of Mr. Tremaine. were in unison with that of General Sickles, and we greati • regret that timed space forbid our report ing the proceedings in full. Mr. 'remain concluded his speech by recommending that the Union Convention construct a platform of pile hickory timber, leaving out every thing of copperisrn, and - Johnsonism, and for Vice-President select such a man as shall, in case of his succession to the Presidency, by a dispensation of Providence, be a man who could be relied on to preiierve the liberty of the people. GENEK AL HANCOCK. General Hancock's administration of affairs in the Fifth Military District is not likely to add Much to his fame, if his first acts in New Orleans are to be taken as specimens of his administrative ability. General Mower, having been left in command of the depart, meat, after Sheridan's removal,. appears to have carried out the policy of his former chief in removing "impediments." General, lianeock, with a haste that precludes the possibility of his havinz given any serious examination to the cases of removal, • .com menced, two days after his arrival, to undo General Mower's work. Arriving on Friday evening in New Orleans, on Monday morn ing he first tried his reconstructive hand on couple___of policemen, who had been ' removed by General Mower. The public neither knows why these two high public functionaries were re moved by Mower, nor why they were so hastily reconstructed by Hancock. But as their restoration to office was at once fol lowed by an order relieving General Mower and ordering him to his regiment, it looks like a determination on the part of the new military commander to inaugurate a policy less in accordance with that of Congress and General Sheridan, and more in harmony with the "My Policy" of Andrew Johnson. Fol lowing the initial move of General Hancock, in which be tried his "prenticehand" on a brace of police-officers, comes the order, on the same day, removing Judge Cutler, and ru-instating Judge Cazebot in the Second Judicial District of Louisiana. General Hancock's friends and the public at large must not be over-hasty in deciding the policif which that officer intends to pur sue. It is, of course, quite probable that in the particular cases in ,point, Mower may have been quite wrong and Hancock quite right. But it will be a most unfortunate thing for General Hancock if he shall be be trayed into jeoparding bisfine military fame by now making himself the ally of Kr. Johnson and the patron of the rebels of Louisiana. His course will be watched by his friends at the North with anxious scru tiny and with an earnest hope that he will act wisely, loyally and well, in the difficult and responsible post which he now holds. ABOUT GOIGD WATCUL:cS7. Just as straws show which way the wind blows, gold watches may be taken an'in dication of the growth of our city. In fact, northward and westward the march' of gold watches takes its way, and in districts where only pinchbeck time-keepers and bull's-eye repeaters marked the hours forty years ago, gold chronometers and full-jeweled levers now nestle in multitudinous vest-pockets. To be more explicit, the returns of the gold watches in the city, made with a view to local taxation for 1868, are now-gathered in. The aggregate is 13,625 time pieces, against 4,489 for 11367. Where this Increase of 9,136 comes from is a subject for speculation We do not propose to explain away this rudder), increase; but possibly the fact that gold *itches are taxattle under the United states Revenue laws, and that the returns to the revenue officials are required to be made under oath, may have had something to do with the fuller returns made to the ,city Assessor& In many of the Wards the dif ference between 1867 and 1868 is'something marvellous. Many Wards multiplied their )44 preeeeding return five, ten and. even, 1 0.1-titnes,' while the First, Third, Eighteenth Au 6 Twenty 7 eighth Wards which were goldlatcbless a year fig% now admit peaelsnient of having within Weir tfinii.:pieces nuinbering froml43 to;,' 450irt each Ward. Whether there are kola i4BlikfrOlociiiiiluttb3 per Ward who have la)caine sufficiently "finale' 'within the past tielve-nsonth to line - their maiden watch ** Witbgalat or Variiiipr a stricter assess. toent is to (tumult for the difretenee, is, we repeat, a mblem. t , New , as regards the, gold watch as an, etri- , &nee of thegrow th of the city. Forty years ago a careful census of all the gold watchesin town would have shown that most citizens who then indulged in the luxury of carrying this description of time-keeper, resided withiti the limits of the present Fifth and Sixth . Wards. There wore well-to-do and wealthy familleS who resided in the eastern portion of the limits of the present Settnth and Eighth Wards, and who carried Aden re minders of the flight of time; but trick and lumber yards, stables' and' shanties are not prolific of gold watchea; and as the greater portion of the Wards htst named were thus occupied, with a slight dash of canal-boat, ing, the gold watch returns from that direc tion Would have been slim. Some of the stout Detchmen in the Northern Liberties, who had brewed and baked to some purpose, would have shown their golden "turnips" forty years ago ; but the rank and tile would either have been watehless, or they would have exhibited something approxi mating, to Captain Cuttle's colossal silver affair, which he always set going by giving I it some hearty thumps upon the table, and which he kept right by setting it an hour or two backwards or forwards; as the case might be, each morning and afternoon. Then there were Kensington and Southiark, with -a few lucky ship-builders and truck farmers to make a display of stylish repeat ets; but the field was not prolific, and the returns from those districts would have been }titan. As for the Thirteenth, Fourteenth. Fifteenth and Twentieth Wards the chances for chnonometers, with cases from the coast of Guinea, would have been particularly smalL Slaughter houses, duck ponds, cab bage gardens, Potter's fields, hanging grounds and brick yards, did not yield much in the gold watch line in 1527. 1267 tells a different story. The Fifth and Sixth Wards combined have but :.01 gold watc.hes,,:rwhile the Seventh and Eighth Wards, that were in the main given over to brick ponds and tumble-down shanties forty years ago, now return 2,247. The Thirteenth Ward, which was almost entirely in the slaughter-house interest forty years 'ago, "now returns 1,097 gold watches, figure which is "congderably mere ithan double that of the Fifth and Sixth Wards combined. The Fifteenth Ward, which takes in the old hanging-ground at Bush-hill, and which did not have much else to distinguish it in 1827, now turns out 1,531 gold watehes,which, taken as an evidence of the westward progress of civilization and luxury is a very handsome exhibit against the 501 of the Fifth and Sixth Wards com bined, which represented the substantial Philadelphia of the last generation. The Fifteenth Ward makes the largest re turn of gold watches, and it could scarcely help so doing if it were to try, for it is in the direct high road of the city's increase and improvement. The Twentieth Ward looms up with its 1,026 watches, while all others Of the new and flouri=shing Wards show, by their returns, their progress in the way of prosperity and gold-wsttchdom. It will, of course, be understood that the Bu tirrni does not consider any individual either better or worse for the possession of a gold watch ; and it only urges gold 'watches, and the progress thereof, as the strews which indicate in what direction and to what extent the substantial prosperity of the city is tending. The firemen bave settled the question of the succession of Chief Engineer Lyle by making choice of Terrence McCasker, of the Moyamensing Hose Company. Mr. Mc lusker is a Man of nerve, and his conduct when the American Theatre was burned proved his eminent fitness to meet a grave mersevey. He saw that the falling out of the front wall of the theatre wad.. a probable contingency, and when his admonitions to the crowd to get out of the way of danger failed, be turned a stream of water from a Lose-pipe upon them. At this same disas trous conflagration be proved himself equal to the occasion by staving the liquor casks in the bar-room of the theatre, when he found that his subordinates were making too free draughts upon them. With such a head as Chief Engineer blcCusker promises to be, and with such splendid material as there is in the Fire Department of Philadelphia, we only need to reorganize the department on the simple and just plan of paying men for their services, to make it one of the most ef fective in the world.

Another boiler was driven through the wall of the main building, which was of stone and two feet thick. making a breach 40 feet wide 'and the entire height of the building. - Two or three other boilers vrerebiown into the air, and descending on the roof of the dye-house, smashed it in completely. fica'ruly had the ex plosion occurred when the entire building was in flames. The other'bnildings connected with the estab lisment were saved.

HAvsarA, Dee. 5.L--Dates from Mexico to the 23d ult. have been received. The officialjournal publishes the correspondence -between M. Van Guest and President Juarez about the delivery of Maximilian's remains. On the 20th nit., the first quorum of the Mexi can Congress assembled, one hundred and five out of two hundred and seven being present; seven being in prison and others hiding for fear of prison. A . war between Mexico and Guatemala is feared on the hOundary question. It is said that the imperialist members who favor Guatemala are absent. The impeachment members of Congress will receive the same punishment when they return as those wbo remained. Heavy rains have caused inundations at Vera Cruz, and the losses hitve bean heavy. On the 18th an earthquake occurred at Santa Cruz. The shock was felt at sea. The 'United States steamer Do Soto was dashed ashore and broken to pieces. The crew were saved. The Monongahela was also washed ashore at Contra Town, but the damages were not stated. Admiral Palmer, of the American squadron, and the Governor of St. Thomas, were In consul tation at St. Thomas. The U. S. steamer Sus quehanna was at St. Thomas, and it is rumored that she put in there, in a rather damaged condi tion. The President of Hayti has returned to Ja maica from Europe. Geffrard is deposed. The English mail station at St. Thomas has been changed to Jamaica. The people of St. Thomas have voted in favor of annexation to the United States. Vessels arriving-from Havana and Vera Cruz are quarantined at St. Thomas. Letters received state that the Spanish iron clad on the way to this port from Spain had to put back leaking. The damage by the ,ecent hurripan'e. at St. Thomas was immense. The steamer Asia sails from Havana for Porto Rico, and takes provi sions for the sufferers by the tornado. She will bring back the Captain-General, Lersundi. IlitvsNA ' Dec.:,.—Sugar—No. 12 Dutch stand ard dull and nominal. Exchange market with out material alteration. From Washington.

His View's on SuspelWion. 1116. llontsten on Impeachment. Moods' Despatch to the Prinadelphia Evenbus Bulletin.] WAsnrserois, Dec. 5.---The galleries were , again crewded to-day, In anticipation of the de bate on impeachment. After the expiration of the morning hour, the House „,proceeded to the emote/cruet:lt of the majority report of the Judi chtry Committee on the subject of impeachment. Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, obtained the floor, and addressed the House at great length. The following is an, abstract of his speech: Mr. Boutwell said—"ln opening this cease to the House, I shall confine myself to a. concise pm sentation of the views which the occa sion imperatively demands at my hands,, , giving no rein whatever to those efforts and forms of speech which men, in similar circumstances, have Often freely em ployed with great propriety and power. The gravity of the occasion is unusual, leading men, as it ought, to exercise great care in _speech and action, but not inducing us to swerve, in any manner, from the line of duty. It is one of the incidents of public life that public men are called to take responsibility, but it is one of the achievements of life to meet and bear successfully such responsibility when tendered by eircumstances or events. It is not strange that a sensitive and conscientious peiblic opinion shrinks from a proceeding so solemn in its character, the end of which men cannot foresee. In one scale they place all the present material and political interests of the country, and in the other the project for the removal of a President who has fifteen months only of official life. If this were a full statement of the case, and these were no consequences of evil likely to f0110w, 5 1 certainly should not hesitate to yield to the suggestions which invite us to leave the President where he is. In the first place, the impeachment of the President ' does not invoke any .neglect of the questions and subjects to , which the atten tion of the country is largely directed. In any event, Conc:russ vs - ill have time to deal with all . these questions, and it ;will deal with them, undoubtedly, ' with a reasonable degree of. success. On the other side, if the conclusions of the majority of the committee are correct, then we arc charged with a grave duty, concerning the country in all Its material and political interests during the present administration, and furnishing an example affecting ; favorably 'or unfavorably. the fortunes of the country in all future tirri&' • . The speaker then proceeded to discuss quite fully the idea as to whether the President could be suspended during trial, denying that Congress had the power under the Constitution to suspend the President, by a law or otherwise. These were grave questions, but the Constitu tion must be adhered to in all its forms, and it would not be necessary, in the opinion of the speaker, even if that right was possessed, to avail themselves of it. Everything depended upon the law, and if, as claimed by the minority, tli the law will not sustain the charges made by e majority or the Committee , then there is HO ca whatever against the President, and it must fa . The attention of the Comimttce was directed almost constantly to the nature and extent of the power et impeachment, as it exists under the Constittitiornand the practice of the British Parliament from the earliest historical times to the beginning of the present century. The experience of England affords much in struction, and something of warning, In reference to proceedings by impeachment, but it does not furnish precedents which ought to control, or in a large degree to influence, the House of Repre sentatives acting under. the Constitution. The speaker then proceeded to discuss•the four clauses in• the Constitution relating to impeach ment, declaring that they were not in tended merely to punish criminals, but to remove from office persons unfit for offices of trust, or parties charged with an act tainted with criminality. The object of im peachment Is not to punish, but to secure the euuntry against the presence of . the effer.ders in any place of trust or power in future. If the judgment of the Senate were a punishment, then the seventh paragraph of the third section, first article of the Consti tution, which provides that the party convicted shall, nevertheless, be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment according to law, would be wholly inconsistent with the nature of our institntions. This phrase of the constitution has been drawn aside, or rather torn from its legitimate connections and office, for the purpose of furnishing a proof to the doctrine that those acts that are indis pensable and those alone are impeachable of fences. The true and different meaning of the phnase is easily understood. Its office was to change the common law practice of England. By that law, a person convicted by the House of Lords; upon proceeding by impeachment, could plead that conviction atd sentence in case of an indictment in a criminal Court for the same offence. Thejudg ment of the Rouse of Lords Carried a punishment with it entirely dis tinct from removal from office. . _ In England removal from office was au incident or consequent of the proceeding, while its main object, as in ordinary' criminal trials, was the punishment of the guilty party. The speaker then proceeded to compare very fully the method of proceedings for impeachment under our laws with those of Great Britain, claiming that, under the provision of the Consti tution, there are offences which are impeachable, when they are `not indictable. Ile further. .'ditcussed what- . - constituted "high crimes and misdemeanors" and other impeachable offences. He showed where these words were derived from, and where they were inserted into our constitution, and that they must at that time have been perfectly understood by the framers of that in strument, and that by the construction ascribed to them at that period must we accept them now. Treason is one of the impeachable offences which is defined by the Constitution, and Congress has not the power to enlarge the limit or in any degree to qualify, the jurisdiction of the Senate when sitting as alCourt for the trial of the President. While Congress does not declare what constitutes high crimes • and misde meanors, it; limits the definition of the clime of treason to a single ono of these forms. It is 'impossible for Congress to make certain offences crimes and iniseemeauors everywhere in the United States the same,as Congress has not power to pro vide for the punishment of Ile (Ante of murder. It is limited to forts and ars'enals t and tolthe Dis trict of Columbia and the Territories of the United States. A eiyil officer might be guilty of murder within tholuYisdiction of any State - Where crime is not and cannot be . punishable by law, and Coil„rPress, both. house and Senate, would be ' linable to remove hiM from office. At the present moment no law exists which declares that it shall be a hi,') crime or misdemeanor for the President to decline to recognise Convene, and yet, should he decline to recognuAe :Its ' lawful 'and constitutional existence and authorit), , , and thus . virtually disi-' solve the Government, would Congress be impo:,.. tent and unable , to.proceed by process o impeachment to ~ secure ; hls removal -- from The .theary ..I .

This rule is that no person can lawfully do an act contrary to good morals; and subjecting the provisions of the Constitution to this rule, the *unit is that neither the Freed - dent, Vice President, nor any civil officer, can lawfully do any act, either official or otherwise, that IS contrary to the good morals of the office he holds." The speaker then quoted quite largely from great jurists, English and American, as to - the law bearing upon cases similar to the'one' under discussion, and the whole argument was to prove that the law sustained the position assumed by the majority of the committee, and rendered their case a clear one. . -Mr. Boutwell then preceeded to consider, the facts in the ease and analysed the charges against the President, his acts, his Cabinet advisers, his motives, his speeches, his messages, his . interference .- to I prevent the adoption .of the 'Cons utional Amendment, his surrender of abandon . lent% his removal of Stanton, Sheridan and SLekles, and then closed es follows: "Bu sir in conchs sion, lam prepared to aceept the judgment of this House as a patriotic judgment. I shall wait for 'the teaching of events. I do not despair of a great people. They can en dure trials; they can overcome obstacles. They will assert, finally, the - authority of .justice and the majesty of the law. Let nothing be done under the influence—of passion, pre judice or political excitement; but the vindication of the laws is a duty, and it often falls to the lot of a party to perform it. M own convictions are clear. I see my country first emerging from civil war, dis tracted, torn, and bleeding; her people heavily taxed, and the public revenue plundered; her currency depredated; her credit impaired, so that in the market of Europe she is associated with Anstria,Turkey and Spain; million's ofpeo pie but recently in rebellion, still bold, defiant, aggressive; and millions more,loyal, dutiful and hopeful too. Even when peril menaces, after two years of struggle, we are still without secu rity, and all this, I believe, is in consequence of the doings and designs of the President of the United'States. Can I hesitate? Can I yield judgment to.circumstances which in the nature of the case utast be tempeirary ? I will not ask this House , to do its dp,ty.,- That would not be decorous in me. It will do its duty, add its duty will have been equally performed, whether the results harmonize with my judgment or not. But,. sir, I may look be yona the present moment, and assume that to be done • which upon my judgment and conscience ought to be done. Consider how all the attairs of the country would be changed and improved. Civil government .would ,be • restored speedily to the States; the civil rights of all the people re wont* ~ cognized le and made secure. The loyal me -government, exer else the great privilege of • se -government, safe in their own power and in the benign protection of the National Government. Those recently in rebellion mould soon be re stored to all their political privileges. Industq would be . honored and well recompensed; production - consumption and trade im mensely l eveloped; the , revenue of the country collected; public, plundering no longer protected and practiced as an art; taxes reduced; public credit so improved that the ques tions dependjng upon the value of our currency would be settled without disturbances er violent legislation; the - army reduced and the . power of the nation so augmented and every where respected as that a single ship of war would protect the commerce of the Mediterranean or of the Gulf of Mexico. These things are not and cannot now be, because the President is not clear in his . . high office, dis regarding as he does the injunctions of the Constitution upon him, to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. , So mighty Is the machinery. of the Government that the weight of the President's hand upon the eeutral. lover affects the fortunes of every citizen. With a hundred and fifty million in the Treasury an% unlimited power to accumulate or disburse, a nod of his bead makes his friends prosper, while his enemies perish in the presence 6f his power; and surrounded as we are; with evidences of the evil result of a policy which we have--so long tolerated but never approved, are we to. hesitate; to delay, to abandon the field in the hope that by' other means and by other agencies a final redemption of the nation is to be secured? Believing that Andrew Johnson is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, I have assented to and by the direction of the majority of the Committee on. the Judiciary. reported a resolution for his impeachment. This resolu tion I drew up upon - my conscience and best judgment. In contemplation cif the hew 'and upon the facts I believe, him so goillY, and thereon I ask a- judamcnt of the House. •' Tho Contraction of the Currency.. liceptitch to the Philadelphia veulug Bulletin.] W.thiliNi.TON, Dec. 5 —The Hut ie Committee on _Appropriations holds its first meting during this set - 41611 to-morrow.
