Although it was intimated that, for the sake of bothering the Republicans and keep ing them a little longer in the fiery furnace that Washington has lately been, the Presi dent would delay his veto of the Electoral College bill till next Thursday, he sent it in yesterday, and in a few minutes after its re ception in each house it was passed by the required two-thirds vote. So it is now a law, the President to the contrary notwithstand ing. The message is marked by the same arro gant, conceited and egotistical tone that has characterized every document sent to Con gress since Mr. Johnson became President. The pleasant and cheerful assumption that none of the Statea lately-in-.rebellion were ever out of the Union, is in harmony with his other idea that all those who took arms in the rebellion, and all who were its political lead era, should be treated as if nothing had hap pened. It does not harmonize with the commonly received potions of the best mode of making treason odious; but Mr. Johnson's 'mode, as practiced by him, is in exact accord ■With the doctrine of the veto message. There is one point in the veto which seems to have perplexed some of the members of Congress and amused ■others. It is that a portion of the inhabitants of New York were engagec in the rebellion, and, therefore, the whole State of New York should be treated precisely as Virginia and the other States that composed Mr. Davis’s confederacy. This is such an exceedingly sophomoric piece of argu mentation that the feeling with which it was received is not to be wondered at The ques tionnaturally arises: Who were the New Yorkers engaged in rebellion, to whom the Pre sident refers? Considering how recently the Tammany nominations have been made, and how little Mr. Johnson has to thank the con vention and the party, it is an irresistible conclusion that he refers to Horatio Seymonr and his “friends,” the New York rioters of 1863. But as there seems to be a doubt upon the subject, it onght to be cleared up. Mr. Seymour has a right to demand of the Presi . dent to explain the insinuation, if it is meant for him; or, it it is not, inform him at whom it is aimed. For, as the matter now stands, Seymour and the State of New his term as Governor, were in rebe!lion;\and they need reconstruction, just like all the rebel States and their Governors. The message, however, is scarcely de- serving of consideration, except as d new proof of the vanity and obstinacy of its author. He has not profited by the le&sons of the past, and the recent treatment he re ceived at the New York Convention has not softened him toward either. He will go on to the end of his term—a surly, refractory grumbler, who is so perfectly self-satisfied, ithat.he has no toleration for the well-estab lished and oft-expressed views of the party that elected him and their representatives in Congress. More vetoes may be expected be fore the 4th of March, 1860. THE fOVKrEEBIH AHENDHENT. Rather to the surprise of' the public, Secre tary Beward, witnout waiting for further action by Congress, has issued a proclamation on the subject of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. But there is more rig marole intended to cast doubt upon the vali dity of the action of those Southern States reconstructed on the Congressional plan, whose Legislatures have ratified the amend ment, There is also a clause expressing doubf as to the validity of the action of the Ohio and New Jersey Legislatures, in re scinding their ratifications of previous sessions. So Mr. Seward declares that if these ratifications are to be deemed valid, then the amendment is adopted and is part of the Constitution of the United States. It may be assumed that the rescind ing of the ratifications of Ohio and New Jersey will not be recognized, and without reference to Mr. Seward’s if, the amendment is complete. If anything further is needed, to remove doubts on the subject, there will be additional ratifications in other States, suf ficient to make the required three-fourths. The effect of this amendment in Pennsyl vania is worth considering. It requires that the basis of representation shall be the voting population. In Pennsylvania the negroeß can not yote, and they number about CO,OOO souls, according to the last census and allowing for a moderate increase. .This is not equal to the number required for one representative; but as a fraction of such number, it may have • the effect of depriving the State of one mem ber in the apportionment to be made under census of 1870. But of the fairness of the amendment there ought to be no question in reasonable minds. The Southern States used to be allowed to include their slaves in computing their representation. This,, of course, had to cease after the •war, and it was chiefly to meet their pe culiar case that the amendment was framed, making the voting population the basis. Of course it would have been unfair to have al lowed a different Btate of affairs to exist in other States, and- under the Constitution as amended, Pennsylvania will have to deduct her disfranchised negro population when her apportionment is determined on; and so with other States where all races are not allowed to vote. AN ANCIENT OAZETTEEII. ln the year 174 C, one . Mr.. Salmon, who styled himself the “Author of Modern His tory,” published at London a Gazetteer, which ; be claimed to be a Bhort general view of the world, ana to be much fuller than any . similar book that had ever preceded it -“Considering the difficulties in the way of prosecuting such a work at such a time, Mr. Salmon’s book donbtleßs did credit to his patient industry and enterprise; but the investigations of the intervening one hundred and twenty-two years have demonstrated that for many of his facts concerning distant parts of tho world, he had depended upon '‘sailors’ yams” and historical romances. But, in respect to Eng land and her American provinces, he was en tirely at home, and consequently in the main correct; while he had a.very fair insight into the condition of the Continent of Europe. We have culled some facts from this curious book by way of illustrating the progress that our own portion of the world has made in the past century and a quarter. Under its appropriate head, Mr. Sal mon gives the following account of our own city: Philadelphia, .W. lon. 74. lat. 40.50. the capi tal city of the pr. ol Pennsilvanla, in N. America, one of tho British colonies, sit 70 m. W. of Now York, upon the rivers Delawar and SchoolkiU; being a most beantifnl plan of a town. It is an obloßg of 2m. extending from tho river Delawar to the river SchoolkiU, with a front to each river, and each front a mile in length. Every house having a large court or garden before it, and in the center of tho town is a square of 10 acres. The high street, which runs tho whole length of the town is 100 lest broad, parallel to which ran S streets, which are crpsscu by 20 more at right angles, and several canals are let into the town from the rivers.' And there is a fine Quay, to which ships of 4or 500 tons may come up, and there are about 14 or 1600 houses already bnilt,bnt there wants a great many more to finish the plan. The greatest part of the inhabitants are quakers, tho, there are many also'of the of tho church of England, who have 2 churches here. It will be observed'that our author rather speaks of the town as it Was to be than as it was; but in his most florid fancy he did not imagine the Philadelphia of 1868, with its al most one hundred and forty miles of territory, its 800,000 inhabitants, its hundreds of miles of streets, its. splendid stores, dwellings, ehurclies and public buildings, and Its vast facilities for the prosecution of unlimited trade and travel with a far-reaching interior. He only saw the “Greene Country Towne” that Penn had dreamed of and planned, and he did not imagine a future metropolis which within little more than a century would almost rival the London of the author’s time. According tohis book the metropolis ofEng and, with its outlying suburbs, in 1746 had a population of about a million of souls who lived in 154,950 houses. Our own population is now about 800,000 souls who live in 102,000 dwellings. London has multiplied her popu lationrihree-fold since ! 746; the population of Philadelphia has increased nearly or quite sixty-five fold within the same period! At thiß rate of increase how long will it take the great American cities to outstrip the capital of Great Britain in the grand metropolitan race? It must be confessed that some portions of Mr. Salmon’s sketch of Philadelphia are to be taken with grains of allowance. At the period at which he wrote there was very little of the city except what was crowded along the river Delaware from Vine to South streets. George Heap’s picture of Philadel phia, drawn a few years later, proves this fact Houses were scarce west of Third street Ab very many of the building lots in the extreme eastern part of the city were very shallow, frequently not more than twenty feet in depth, it is difficult to understand where the “large courts or gardens” were put in front Mr. Salmon drew the infaat town as its founder would have had it, rather than as it was. In 1746 New York was a Very unimportant town. According to the Gazetteer it con tained “about a thousand houses, well built of brick and stone, and Btanding on an emi nence, surrounded by a wall and other mod em fortifications, makes a fine appearance.” Its inhabitants consisted of English, Swedes, Dutch and a few French refugees. The character of its population, like most other things about New York, has greatly changed since its old Dutch wall protected a popula tion that had ample living room in a thou sand houses. Mr. Salmon describes Long Island as being “separated from the continent of New York and Connecticut by a narrow channel. ” Its most noteworthy features were a race-course, its fisheries and its agricultural products, and neither Mr. Salmon, nor any other man for a century after him, dreamed of the present im portance of the city upon the East River op posite New York, which has had so marvel ous a growth in our own time. Most of the principal cities upon the Atlantic seaboard from Boston to New Orleans, received atten tion from the Gazetteer. Baltimore was an exception, for the Monumental city was then in its swaddliag clotheß, a mere baby of a town, that was not of sufficient importance to attract attention. Jamestown, the original capital of Virginia, is spoken of as having al ready fallen into decay. Dry-rot had at tacked the “Old Dominion” as far back as 1746. If the author and the readers of the Gazetteer of 1746 failed to appreciate the expansive power of American citieß, they still more completely failed to comprehend the vastneßß of the continent and its un limited resources for progress. But little was then known of the territory which lay be tween the Ohio river and the Pacific Oeean .and the untold millions of treasure which jsince that time have conjured up States,towns, villages and communities as if by magic, slept unsuspected and undisturbed in their native beds. It was just a century from the period at which Mr. Salmon wrote, that Captain Sutter made the great discovery which has peopled the Pacific slope and caused the construction of the great iron band which spans the Rocky Mountains and will link together the shores of the Atlantic and the Pacific. Who knows but that the American of a hundred and twenty-two years hence will peruse a Gazetteer of 1868 with as profound a sense of the short-sighted in nocence of his ancestors as we feel in read ing the book of Mr. Salmon ? The Parthian arrows of Mr. Andrew John son are of a very dull, pointless kind. With the wholesome fear of a second impeachment trial hanging over his head he did not dare to refuse to issue his recent proclamation in re gard to the ratification of the Constitutional Amendment by South Carolina; but with ■HE DAILY EVBNiyG- BULLETIfeEHILAfiELFHIA, .TUESDAY, JULY 21,1868, vulgar spitefulhess’ he says' that the letter which notifies him of- the acceptance of the Amendment; was “transmitted.by and under the name of Robert K. Scott, who, therein, writes himself Governor of South Carolina;” that the official certificate of the ratification is styled “a paper purporting to be a resolu lion,” and he refers to the resolution of ac ceptance as “purporting to have been passed.” Sensible men generally accept the inevitable in a manly way, possibly under protest, bat not in a “make mouths at your sister” style. But Andrew Johnson is not a sensible man and he seems disposed to go dowh to history With a character as ridiculous as it is infa mous. The teachings of Gen. Frank Blair in his infamous Broadhead letter, and .the example of the Democratic National Convention in giving over that organization to rebel control, are bearing their natural fruits. Assassina tion is openly threatened, and party leaders are called upon to imitate Cromwell and Na poleon and “pulverize Congress." The Mobile Tribune, which has the names of Seymour and Blair flying at its mast-head, is . openly out for the forcible suppression of the Loyal Leagues (lawful associations of Union men), for the violent dispersion of Congress, and for the employment of “the dagger of Brutus.” It says that in the event of Con gress attempting to carry out the reconstruc tion laws in respect to the Presidential elec tion “the great Democratic parly will rise in its might and' majesty, and pulverize and purge the Congress, just as Cromwell purged the long Parliament.” It further says “The signs of the times are pregnant with resistance to Radical tyranny, and the dagger of Bratus nifty in acCOmpltshing biir 'reaeniptiba from Rudis&l rule, ruin trad usurpation.” It then goes on to argue that the best way to make the Cromwellian-pulverizing-dagger-of- Brutus-plan effective is to go for the nominees of the Democratic party, and it tells the young men of Mobile that it is their duty to attend the meetings of the Democratic and Conservative party. “Let nothing keep you away, for all you bold dear is at stake —your wives, your mothers, are all on board the ship which sails under the grand old Democratic flag. Will you aland by—will you stay away —will you see that old Democratic flag torn and trampled on without raising a hand to defend it from defeat —from desecration ? We hope not. Let us all labor in the good cause—in such a cause labor is virtue.” We congratulate the Democratic and “Conserva tive” parties of the loyal States upon their outspoken Southern allies, and upon their Southern candidate for the Vice Presidency. History, unfortunately, is full of instances of men becoming cut-throats and traitors; but for the credit of mankind it is not often that they advertise their villainy to the world. But “ forewarned, forearmed;” the loyal people of the country are competent to deal with these cut-throats and traitors, and if any of them should attempt to give an overt direc tion to their threats, they cannot plead innocence of malice prepense when they fall into the hands of “Jack Ketch.” In nominating Henry M. Wattß, Esq., to the mission to Vienna, President Johnson has done something that the Republicans of Philadelphia can candidly commend. The Senate can confirm the nomination with per fect confidence that Mr. Watts will be a faithful and excellent representative. He is and always has been a Republican, and few Philadelphians have given more practical aid to the party. There ought to be no delay and no doubt about his confirmation. Attention is called to the advertisement of “ Bishopthorpe,” a school for youug ladies near Bethlehem, in charge of Miss Chase, who has had much experience in this city.

' The second day’s session of the B nai B rith, or secret benevolent societies of the Israelites, took place yesterday at the Alemania Club House. Mr. Renan, one of the two original founders of the order, was present and was received with ap propriate honors. The usual reports were rep ceived and the standing committees appointed. ! A mass meeting of the journeymen tailors was held in the Germania Assembly Rooms, last even- ~ log, with a view to reorganize and consolidate the organization. The audience was large, and composed of workmen fronußrooklyn, Williaoas bnrgh, Jcrsev City, and the suburban towns around New "York. It seems from ( the speeches that were delivered that agreat deal of suffering prevails among the tailors, so much so that they are joining the Union in large numbers, and are about to demand higher wages. They say that those of them who work for the trading houses scarcely average $6 a week, even when working from 16 to 18 hours per day. They claim that they should have an advance of wages as well as other trades, and they all declare that they work the largest number of hours and receive the least pay of all the trades. The iron molders connected with the Singer Sewing Machino Manufactory, in Mott street, struck; yesterday, for an increase of wages. The advance demanded is fifteen per cent, on present rateß. The men will be supported in the strike by the Iron Molders’ International Union, a very powerful organization, which will furnish all the rands necessary to carry the movement to a suc cessful issue. The number of molders employed in this establishment is about 50. Mrs. Sarah Ambrose, of No. 334 West Twenty- Sixth street, attempted to commit suicide yester day afternoon, by jumping from a Hoboken ferry-boat when about midstream. She was res cued from drowning by the hands of the boat, asissted by some of the passengers, and was ta ken to her home. At 4 o’clock yesterday morning ths dead body of E. A. Hall was found lying in the yard of his late residence, No, 802 West Twentieth • Btreet. The deceased had nothing on but his night-shirt, and it is therefore supposed that he went to sleep on the roof of his residence, and, rolling off, fell Into the yard beneath. The deceased was 26 years of age, a native of the United S tates, and a telegraph operator by occupation. A few days ago, Michael Reynolds, of 64 Prince street, had stolen from his house a gold watdh and (drain, two diamond rings, and some, gold jrnins, valued in all at $220. Officer Mulligan, of the Fourteenth Prcclnct/ yißterday arrested Ed ward Flood, a lad fifteen years of age, residing next doorfomnspiclon of havingstolenthe pro perty, and when the lad wa9 arraigned before Alderman Coman, at the Tombs, he confessed hie guilt, restored the property, and was remanded for trial, - - Bateman’s new season of opera bouffe opened last evening at Niblo’s. The opera was Barbe Meue, or Bluebeard; : Mlle. Irma. the new prima “ donna, is better than Tostde, as a singer and ac tress, but as she is more decent, she Is not likely to be so popular. The rest of the company Is good, but the Impression made by the opera was not so favorable as was that made by the other works of Offenbach .played last season. As to thestorv, tho-7V»4t«iesay»: “When we come to tbo matter of decency, it 4a not easy to probonnee a jnst verdict on the new opera. There are passages in the libretto which are entirely shameless, and are all the more un pardonable btcaußC they add nothing to the fun of the. plify, and can have no effect except to drive respectable ladles away from the house. There are some exuberances also In tbo acting which demand repression. But Blue Beard is not beastly, as La Belle Helene was, and is sus ceptible .of being trimmed. What a pity that managers cannot give ns one of these gay little operas freed from extraneous nastineßS, the fan without the license, the dancing without the dirt! What a pity that wo cannot havo opira ho-ujje in such form that no young gentleman need bo ashamed to listen to it with his sweet beart, and no husband with his wife !

The martlet rallied on thee** purchases, and closed strong, with no round lotuoflVnng at the quotations. Congress will ur nl bis week without passing any funding or other financial bill, and the vote for t&xiag the bords shows that there is no prospect of any bill being en tertained which touches in any shape by Government the inteieet contracted to be paid.

To-day seme heavy purchases were made for account of banks and other institutions, which have been waiting for about three weeks for the market to touch bob tom. The firmmes of the foreign bond market in tbe face of the rnddon advance in the price of gold, and tbe eemi repudiatinp bills and discussions re cently ventilated in Congress, is evidence of the faith of Europe in our Government credit which has tended to strengthen the market materially here, in the 1662 s and 1865 e, there le an active borrowing demand and uncovered short interest Some of the beara have had difficulty in borrowing to-day, -and at the close it was evident that the stock bad been much reduced hy recent shipments.

Y.), tbe Joint Committee on the Library was dis charged from tije further consideration of the numerous petitions on the subject of an interna tional copyright law. Mr. Ramsey (Minn.) called up the bill to estab lish certain post-roads, which was parsed. Mr. Sherman (Ohio) called up his concurrent resolution declaring the ratification of the four teenth amendment, which was adopted. It de clares that three-fourths of the States (enumera ting them), including Ohio and New Jersey, herring adopted the amendment, it has become a part of tbe constitution of tbe United States. Mr. Trumbull (111 ) offered the following: Resolved. That the Secretary of the Senate be directed to pay tbe Senators from Arkansas, Florid , North Carolina and Louisiana the com peneatien allowed by law, to be computed from the commencement of the Fortieth Congress. Mr. Sherman (Ohio) suggested that the resolu tion ought to go to a committee. Mr. Trumbull quoted the precedent established in the case of the Senators lrom Tennessee, at the commencement of the 31ith Congress. Mr. Davis opposed the resolution, as dated back to a time, the 4th of March, 1867, when there were ne Senators from these States. He denied that the Senators in question are constitu tionally elected. In his opinion the Senators that came here a year ago are still the constitu tional Senators from those States. Mr: Morton objected to the further considera tion of the resolution, and it was laid over. House.— Mr. Wilson -r* - ' - 8:30 O’Olook. FOURTH EDITION. BY TELEGRAPH. Later* Congress News Xl.tb Con (rrciis-.Second Session. rHorßE—Cintlnned from the Third Edition. Mr. Brooks (N. T.) appealed to the Honeo to eay •whether itwosfnlror just when the people of Alabama were informed nnder the act of March 23d, 1867, that by abstaining from voting they conld defeat the constitution and-the elec* rion of members nnder it, to admit a set of rep tesentatives, chosen by negroes. It was on the white people of Alabama, and the wbole’white race of the country to force into Congress members elected enly by the ne groes of Alabama, while the white people of Ala bama, by fraud, and fraud alone, were kept gom voting at that election. Mr. Dawes replied to the remarks of Mr. Brooks, which be spoke of as his accustomed speech. Be would leave it to the gentleman from New York to reconcile the inconsistency of his always preaching In favor of representa tion of the late rebel States and his § radical denial of it. He spoke of Mr. rooks’s continued anxiety about the negro, an anxiety which troubled him by day and disturbed his sleep by night, lest by some ehance the poor negro should get some advantage of him in the race of life. After somo further remarks in that satirical vein, Mr. Dawes moved the previous question. Mr. Eldridge (Wls.) desired an opportunity to make some remarks. Mr. Dawes declined to withdraw the call for the previous question. Mr. Eldridge said he hoped the gentleman from Massachusetts would not retire under the dema gogical speech just made by him. The Speaker said that that remark was not in order. Mr. Eldridge—Why not ? It was not certainly meant as an insult to him. I think it a compli ment to his speech. Mr. Brooks demanded the yeas and nays on agreeing to the report. The report was agreed-to—yeas-126, nays - 34,- and . .the, mem bers elect from the State of Alabama were Invited by the Speaker to approach and take the oath. Five gentlemen responded to the invitation, and were abont to be sworn, when Mr. Brooks no tried the Speaker that he desired the oath to be administered separately. The Speaker said that that was a subject for the decision of the House. Mr. Dawes moved they be sworn in at once. The oath was then administered. ITfarina Intelligence.
