' The raid J season is upon us, and with it lias come, as usual, tue yearly meeting of tue Quakers. But they are not the only religious body now in Convention The Episcopal . Convention also mot yesterday and was pre sided over by Bishop 8tevens, having re covered from his injuries in a late railroad , accldeut near Wilkes Borre. Business is at a stand, and all aro anxious ly lonking for a sottlcmcnt of our national . affairs at Washington. The city has been In ad exoited condition for the past 'week on the sulject of impeachment. Republi cans everywhere are' fiim in thoir convic tions that President Johnson is guilty and should be removed. There is no doubt, however, that Messrs. Fe6senden, Trumbull and others, have suffered feelings and pre judices to control them in this matter. They do not like to see Wade in the position he now occupies, and, bs rivals, will uso all means to prevent him from taking a still higher position. Chase, it is (aid, will be the Johnson can didate, and some of these recreant Senators may be looking for cabinet appointments But they must fail, ac every recreant yet has failed, who has turned his back to the party who elected him. The people rule in this country, after all. A hundred apostates like Johnson and his party at Washington can not seriously injure the government, though they may, for a while, check its progress. The Admission of Arkansas. The pas sage of the bill for the admission of Arkan. eas to the Union, by Congress, is an event which marks the conclusion of the business of restoration. In all the Southern States which have thus fur voted, except Alabama the Constitutions prepared by the respective conventions havo been adopted. In the latter State the Instrument has been adopt ed by a majority of the actual votes polled, but in consequence of the provision in the . law that n majority of the registered voters must participate in the election, the ex ' Rebels, by threats and promises, socceeded in keeping enough voters from the polls to render the number voting insufficient. Ar kansas, acting under the supplemental law, has" been followed by South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana and Florida. Mississippi, Virgiuia and Texas aro to bo heard from. It' tho latter States should re' fuse to accept tho boon extended to them, the question of reconstruction might be con sidered settled, because eventually the stub born Commonwealths would be required to conform to the general arrangement. But there is good cause to hope that the exam ple now set by the sensible portions of the South will have an influence upon those sections where the heresies of the Rebellion yet linger in the vain hope that they may be revived and live. The most curiong thing connected with this matter of reconstruction is that tho Democrats who have been clamoring about the injustice done to tho South by not al lowing the people, whose hands aro recking with tho blood of our citizens and soldiers, to reume their relations with the Union, as if nothing had happened are now opposing the readmission of the Southern States when they request it. Upon the question of the admission of Arkansas, the Democrats voted solid in opposition, and Mr. Wood ward, of this State, argued l'irtt, That Ar kansas had been out of the Union. Second, That having repealed the ordinance of Se cession, which Mr. Woodward's party have always argued did take her out of the Ucioni be- was now in by virtue of tho repeal' Third, That the State ought not to be re' admitted to representation in Congress by virtue of the Reconstruction act and by force of the action of her people. This sort of contradictory logic did no credit to the Solon of the Twelfth District, and in spite of his absurdities the bill was passed. It will go. to the Senate, and we anticipate its speedy passage. Ok Monday last lion. Thaddeus Stevens reported to the House a bill providing for the readmission of North and South Caroll na.Georgia, and Alabama to the Union. The terms of admission are similar to those im posed no Arkansas. The act is to take effect when the President shall proclaim the rati fication by the Legislatures of said States of Article XIV. of the amendment to the Con stitution of the Uuited States, proposed by the 80th Congress. The bill was made the special order for Wednesday. A good kvlz is in force on some of the railroads of Pennsylvania, to the effect, that the officers of. such roads are clearly forbid den to eell a ticket to or allow any intoxica ted person to ride in any of their cars. This rule is excellent, and should bo applied to alj business. No man intoxicated should . be allowed to appear anywhere, on a rail road car, on the highway, the aide-walk, in a business transaction, or in fact, anywhere in public. Thc Okakd Armt op thb Rr.rcBLic is perfecting Its organization for effective ser vioe to the campaign. These soldiers will not permit the welfare of the Union to be endangered by the- restoration of disloyal nieo to political power, if it can be lawfully prevented by tbeir patriotic efforts. The principles for which they once freely exposed their lives are even yet imperilled by the Intrigue of the enemies of a Constitutional government, and these soldiers still rally around the flag, relying sow upon (ha bal lot in place of the bullet.

WASrtiNOToK, May Jl, 1808. j A DAt1 OF GLOOM. ! , . From a feeling of safety -and cortaioty a great political party has shifted this .after noon into donbt and- almost despair.- "We are sold out," exclaimed one of the mana gcrs this afternoon, at one o'clock, as he came into the House and told his colleagues of Henderson's speech Bgainst all the arti cles, and Impeachment generally, and from that moment tho whole Republican party in the bouse have been in a panic almost un contrnlable. At the opening of the debate to-day a motion was made to notify the House that the Senate would be ready to have the House present to morrow at twelve. 'On 1 no," excloimod Fessenden, and then Trum bull. Grimes and Henderson chimed in with tbeir appeals for delay, and the earnest Re publicans, fearing there was trouble brew ing, let it lay over. And the Chief Justice having given his opinion on the process of voting. SENATOR SHEHMAN TOOK THE FLOOR To give his views, and in five minutes he spread a gloomy feeling over the whole Sen ate. He said ho could not vote for the first article, because he did not believe Mr. Stan ton was covered by tho Tenure of Office bill, and the President bad the right to re move him. lid dispersed some of tlio gloom however, when he announced his intention of voting for the second, third, eighth and eleventh articles. But then came Mr. Grimes, who seemed impatient to deliver himself, and with an intensity of hatred and bitterness, he assailed every urticle, and de nounced the House of Representatives for bringing them before the Senate. Nothing better was expected from him, and of course, be made no impress-ion. THEN BTEWAKT, OF NEVADA, Opened, and made the Senate ring; with his defense of the articles; and his appeal to the Senate to do their duty to outraged law and to tln'ir country. Then Williams of Oregon, gave a bugle blast for conviction on all the articles, and Doolittle and Davis went upon tho word went a rehash of Nelson's speech, sprinkled with some of Evart's sophistry. HENDERSON RECItEaKT. Then Hcuderson, in whom all tho Repub licans had trusted, commenced to pick at first one article and then another, until he had read ed the eighth, when his time ran out and he sat down, and a ho closed there were murmurs ran around the Republican side of the Chamber, and whisperings and hasty consultations, and messengers sent out to sound the alarm of danger. MB. TRUMBULL, Who had sat sullenly quiet in his chair all day, and who assured your correspondent nn hour previous that he would not spenk to-day, rose and stated to the Senate that, had this case been before any ordinary justice of the peace, it would have long ago been dismissed, as Mr. Stunton was not removed and General Thomas was not Sec rcfary of War. Then he proceeded to v. bine out his complaints about every article, and thc Senate extended bis time to let him finish nn essay, which was prepared several weeks ago. He offended nearly all the Re publicans by tho outcropping of his enmity to impeachment. EDMUNDS, OF VERMONT, Declared his intention to vote for convic tion upon all the articles, and cogently gave his reusons therefor. MORRILL, OF MAINE, Did likewise. Then Hendricks, of Indiana, paid a glowing tribute to the virtuous inno cence of Andrew Johnson, IIowo, of Wis consin, clHiiDitcl that liHviog voted against the Tenure of Office bill because it did not include Secretary Stanton, he must now vote against the first ai tide, but could go for all others. Then Reverdy Johnson dis appointed all who had hoped he would riso above party and voto "guilty," by his de fense of Johnson. THEN CAME FESSENDEN, Who read his written argument., which you were previously advised he was preparing beforo Bingham commenced to speak. lie was against not only the first, but against them nil, and sought to vio with Grimes in malignity towards the House, the managers and all the articles. Then hope seemed to sink in the minds of the Republicans as thc Senate conceded lnm all the time he desir ed to finish his speech, and the motion was made and carried at half-past five to take a recess to ball past seven l'. M., to pet some fresh air and seek to arrest the rapid demor alization of the Union forces. WHO WERE LOST TO CONVICTION. A rapid survey of t'ju field showed that there were now lost Messrs. Trumbull, Fe9&cnden, Henderson and Grimes, upon all the articles ; Mr. Fowler had not spoken, but from his aecociations and talk all the afternoon, all hope of his voting "guilty" npnn any article was given up, and recruits tor the Democracy and acquittal increusud their forces to seventeen, leaving them nnly two more to gain to have over one third of run , ... . . aiuuocnato; ann tuero were marked as doubtful Messrs. Van Winkle, Willey, An thony and Frelioghuvsen. None of them desired to speak, and but littlo hrpe was manitcsteu in Mr. vau vv inkle, which gives them eighteen, and ono only needed. "Can they get Willey ?" was on everybody's lips. None could answer, except that, if he goes it settles it. When tho Senate met and got a quorum, at eight o-clocK l 51., Air. Conness. ot Call fornia, opened in one of his eitempore but powerful arguments, which he hoped would reach Willoy end Frelinghuysen. Then Harlan followed, tearing to pieces the flimsy pretexts behind which Mr. Grimes bad sought to protect himself ; and then Mr. Wilson, in an unusually fervid and eloquent appeal, sought to arrest the rirmorlizution, by pleading tor the hie of the republic, now hanging ty a single tnreaa. THEN MR. MORTON, OF INDIANA, With a power and an eloquence that made tho Senate Chamber ring, and fixed upon him the eyes and mimW of all, tore into shreds the excuses of Trumbull and Hender son, and niiulu them wince under his sludge hammer blows. It is now 10 P.M., and ha still continues, while the corridors are filled with mmlers of the House and newspaper correKponileots. All the, mana gers ate there, and Tbad. Stevens keeps his messengers flying from bis rooms, where he now lies quite worn-out by his days' labor in the House. Among the Members of the House there is but one feeling and but one opinion. the Feeling is kegard to the case. The feeling that the case Las been sold out, and thai money is the great lever which is has beea brought to bear upon the Senate, is boldly charged. "It is a corrupt, and wicked conspiracy," eaid Mr. Butler, "for has not the President known bis men for days f Have not the Senators prepared adverse opinions before hearing the case through ; and if there were but an honest difference of opinion, why did they not let tome of tbeir old friends know of it, and why seek to so studiously create the, Im pression among them that tbey were for conviction, when they Itriew they would not vote for it t" The list soot you last sight, which came from the President, it right, to within one or two men.

Mr. Yates moved to adjourn .till Friday. Messrs. Anthohy, 8herman - anil ' Hen dricks earnestly opposed the motion, re ferring to the large amount of business which requires attention, contending that to ad journ for several days would be unjustifiable waste or time, and prolong tno session far info the summer. Messrs, Drake and Yates ' urged that no prnfkat lo legislation conld be accomplished while tho Senators were at they asserted in a state of high excitement. Mr. Drake thought they could recover from it by to-morrow, but Mr. Yates held that it would be necessary to allow longer time to calm their nerves. Messrs. Sherman, Davis and othert ridi culed the idea of their not being able to per form their duties at present, and again call ed attention to the amount of business in arrears. Mr. Morton snpDorted the motion for ad journment till to morrow nnd it was then temporarily laid aside, while various House bills were disposed of. After a long discus sion and the passage of the District of Col umbia charter bill, the Senate adjourned at 12:50. Washington. May 124:20 r. m The city is rapidly filling up with restive end anxious "waiters for tho verdict" from dif ferent parts of the country. These strangers are continuallv on the move about the city. seeking for information to aid them in form- tng an opinion ot now too lmpeacumcui trial will result. It is understood that in case the President is convicted and removed, he and his family are to be invited by a prominent and wealthy citizen of New York to visit the latter city, at which place a purso of from $50,000 to $100,000 will be made up and presented to him. It is reported also thnt if the President is acquitted a grand banquet will be given by the leaning citizens nt Hew xorK to the counsel for the President. Washington. May 12. It is understood that Mr. John W. Forney hos tendered his resignation as Secretary of the Senate, to take effect on the election of his successor. The Senato took up the bill extending the charter -Af this city, which expires on thc 14th inst., and agreed to the House amendments to the bill extending the char ter of Washington city, and then adjourn ed Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press. ) Washington, May 12, 1868-1 P. M. Thc Senate has adjourned until to-morrow, and the court until Saturday at 12 M. Our friends feel more confident, and if they suc ceed in getting the eleventh article acted on before the rest when the court meets on Saturday, tbey feel atssured of success. Senator Howard's relapse this morining was a great calamity. He is better now, and will undoubtedly be in his seat on Saturday. Senator Hcuderson and both tho West Vir ginia' Senators are certain for conviction on the eleventh article Washington, May 120 P. M. There is intense indignation among the loyal men, especially against Fessenden and Grimes. The Southern loyalists aro in counsel. Despatches have been recieveel from all parts ot the Union, denouncing the course of the recreant Senators. Fessenden concealed hit purpose 'rom his most intiuiuto friends. Up to the inoroeut he spoke, even his own colleague., Senator Morrill, did not know what vote he would give, while the President's friends were betting upon him for acquittal. His argu ment was an elaborate plea in favor of John eon. The Governor of Maine telegraphed indignant clouuuciaUous. Mr. Grimes docs not conceal that he has separated from the Republican party. Mr. Fowler, although he has oot distinctly avow ed himself for acquittal, is in constant con sulation with the Copperheads. He has re jected all the advice and all the invocations of the patriots of Tennessee. Mr. Freling huysen, of New Jersey, favors the first urticle, but it is supposed he will not vote for the second unless the first should bo defeated. Mr. Trumbull's course, in withholding his action from his own delegation up to the moment of hia prepared speech, which had been secretly concocted, is loudly censured. Mr. Wade will positively vote for convic tion, if bis vote is necessary to secure it. The Southern loyalists on the ground all decline that they cannot return to their homos if the usurper is acquitted. The rebels and Copperheads of the District of Colum bia havo engaged their cannon, powder, and flags, for the purpose of celebrating what they think is tho sure retention of the Government in the bands ot the tyrant Col. Forney hat tendered hia resignation as Secretary of the Senate of the United States, to tuke effect as soon as his successor is elected. The adjournment over to Satur day is regarded as a triumph by the friends of conviction. ' Washington, May 13 Evening ''Postponement means defeat" is the mis taken cry of the Copperheads. Thc spirit of mischief has exhausted its influence, and the only result ot the postponement of the final vote in the impeachment case is an ad vantage to the friends of conviction, occa sioned by the inevitable conclusion, which must bu forced on the minds of the doubters, that tho safety of the bona Jide Union sen timent of the country depends on the remo val of the great obstacle to the legitimate restoration of the South. Such is the almost unanimous feeling of our friends to night, and such were the feelings which iuducud them this morning to accede to Senator C'hundler'B adjournment proposition. The trutu is that Senator Howaid would have perilled hia life, in deHuoce of the advice of hit physicians, if a vote had been taken, and would have been present to record himself among tboso who endorse all the charges against the President. Tho postponement, therefore, was not caused by his illness, but was the result of a feeling that the worst of the defection had pasted, and that further delay could only strengthen the cause of cooviction. The sequent hat demonstrated the wisdom of this opinion, as the thorough canvass of the Senate, which very naturally occurred after the adjournment, has given ds a reliable basis to work upon. The in fluence of the Republican conttituentt ot the recreants has beeu brought to bear directly on them, and the delegations in the House from Missouri and other States have not been idle. ' In response to the earnest tup- flicationt of his friends. Senator Uuuderson as offered to resign and allow another man to be appointed in hit place, and ha de clared that be will vote for conviction on the eleventh article, ' Senators Van Winkle and Wiley, of West Virginia,' will do the same, and it it probable that the Utter will even do more. Senator Fowler declares that he has never given any one authority to speak for him regarding hit vote, and adds that no living man pan, exotpt by pure guess-work, make any reliable prediction regarding hi tecord on ihe final result. Senator Fesaenden waa approached tiua morning for the purpose or obtaining his consent to a proposition tbtt he should pair off with Massif. Wade' and' Howard", but re fused to consider it for a moment. . Senator Stimner' and othert of like ilk de clare that If the eleventh article it brought up first on Saturday conviction Is certain. Senator Morrill, of Maine, ' declares that with proper care the teeond and third arti cles may be carried. Senator Thayer de claret that the tecond, third, eighth, and eleventh arliclet will be carried? Senator Cookling and hit colleague, Senator Mor gan, do not think that the culprit' can pos sibly escape. Senator Nye it also hopeful. Senator Wilson, while appreciating fully the terrible betrayal of country and party which hat occured, does not give up. I might mention others of equal prominence, both in and out of the Senate, who enter tain similar opinions ; but It it tufBcient to say that our truitt f riendt have Tecovered somewhat from tbeir last night's despon dency, and now look on eonviotion at the inevitable result of tbe final vote. They dJ not, of course, pretend to claim It on any hut the most serious charges : but, at I pre. dieted last tilgnt, they think It more tharj possible that such will be the result on the civil tenure act charges and on the eleventh article. It it not absolutely certain that the votes will be taken nn Saturday, at it is possible that a further adjournment may be effected for reasons which are satisfactory to the majority of the Senate ( but it it cot probable that tbe next recess, if one it taken, will be for more than two or three davs. The following is generally believed to be the result of the voto on the second record articles : For conviction Messrs. Anthony, Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness. Corbett, Cragin, Drake, Edmunds, Ferry, Frelinghuysen, Harlin, Howard, Howe, Morgan, Morrill, of Maine, Morrill, Of Vermont, Morton, Nye, Patterson of New Hampshire, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Ross. Sher man, Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton, Wade, Willey, Williams, Wilson, Yates 80. For acquittal Mcspra. Bayard, Bucka lew, Davis. Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler, O rimes, Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson, McCreery, Norton, Patterson, of Tennessee, Saulsbury, Trumbull, Van Win kle. Vickers 18. Of those who aro included in the list for acquittal, Messrs. Fowler, Henderson, and Van Winkle may . voto in tbe affirmative. On the eleventh article the names of Messrs. Van Winkle and W llley may be ndded to the affirmative, and that of Mr. Edmunds may be placed on the doubtful list. Dur ing the day the following letter wat ad dressed to Senator Henderson: Hon. John B. Ileniierton, V. S. Senator : Sir : On a consultation of the Republican members of thc House of Representatives from Missouri, met in view of our position on the impeachment articles, we auk you to withhold your vote on anyarticleupon which you cannot vote affirmatively. This request is made because we believe the heart of the loyal people of the United States demands the immediate removal of Andrew Johnson from tbe office of President of tho United States. Very respectfully, dec, George W. Anderson, Wll. A. PlLB, C. A. Newcomc, James J. Gravelly, Joseph W. McClcro, Ben j. F. Loan, JonN F. Brnjami.v. The remaining Republican member of the delegation, Mr. Van Horn, it absent, and consequently did not sign the letter. It was in response to this that Senator Hen dcrson offered to resign, and it is now un derstood that he win do so unless lie can constienciousiy comply with the request At any rate, he has promised to stump Mis soun tor the Radical ticket at the coming election.

The bark Comet, from tho Sandwich Islands, brings accounts of a terrible volcanic eruption by Mauna I.oa, which began its demonstrations on March 27. On the 28th, 100 earthquake shocks were felt, and during tho two weeks following to April 18, 2.000 earthquake shocks occurred. At Waiscbina the earth opened in many places, and a tidal wave GO feet high rose over the tops of tbe cocoa trees a quarter of a mile inland, sweeping numan Deings, nouses, ana everything mov able before it. A terrible shock prostrated churches and Houses, and killed many per sons. In all, one hundred lives were lost, beside a thousand horses and cattle. The craters vomited fire, rock, aud lava, and a river of red-hot lava, five or six miles long, flowed to the sea at the rate of ten miles per hour, destroying everything before it, and forming an Island in the sea. A new crater two miles wide opened, and threw rocks and streams of lite a thousand feet in to the air, and from it streams of lava rolled to the sea. At one time, the illumination was visible at night 50 miles distant. The lava has pushed out from tho shore one mile. At Waischina, three miles from the shore, a conical island rose suddenly, emit ting a column of steam and smoke, while the Kono packet was passing, spattering mud on the vessel. The greatest shock oc cured April 2, a great shower of ashes and pumice. During tbe great shock the swing ing motion of the earth was dreadful, so violent that no person could stand. In tbe midst of this tremendous shock an eruption of red earth poured down the mountain, rushing across the plain three milet iu three minutes, and then ceased. Then came the great tidal wave, and then the streams of lava. The villages on the shore were all destroyed by this wave. Tbe earth opened under the sea, and reddened the water. Tho earth eruption swallowed 80 persons, and the sea many more. Dreadful suffer ing and terror prevailed in the district, aud the whole region was affected.

A stream of molten lava it flowing from the summit of Mauna Loa through a recess in tbe laods of Kaknku and Poaklni, to tbe sea. At Kao luola Landing the slope and part of tbe summit of a bill, 1,500 feet high, were lifted bodily and thrown over the tops of tbe tree, a dislaoo of 1,000 feet.

REVOLTING OUTRAGES UPON AMERICAS CITIZENS IN MONTKKET. On Tuesdav eveninsr. . the Slst ultimo. Messrs. Earnest Prichardt, Ferris H. Potter. Samuel B. KathrinS, James Montgomery, Zaptha, and Rice, American merchants, who were promenading the principal street! of Monterejr,' were arrested by a tquad of the city police, oy order or Uov. Uavila. They were flung into a verminous dungeon which contained about 70 of the very scum and dregs of Mexican lepra criminals and vaga bonds, and alter a night nt horrors two of their number were ordered to carry out and empty a tub containing the accumulated offal of the preceeding twenty-four hours. 1 hey naturally refused to obev this beastlv order, whereupon the jailor bade a convict ed felon to cowhide thein, and in executing his command he cut througb tbe gentle man's clothing and drew blood. Fearing that tbey might be flogged to death, the gentlemen dismissed their scru ples and performed the menial task. Then tb ir four companions were forced to tako brooms and clean tbe cell and court yard of the prison, the degraded and brutal jail ors, meantime, heaping npon them every epithet of abuse which their groveling brains could conceive. The prisoners, hav ing been taken beforo the Alcaide, were fined $10 each ; but this sura tbey were un able to pay on the spot, tbeir captors having robbed them before committing them to the dungeon, Mr. Ultich, our Consul, obtained their release, but be could get co further satisfaction. General Escubedo, wbo was in the city, was appealed to, but be paid no heed, while tbe populace, as the prisoners were walking to tbe jail, shouted, "Death to Americans I" A Mexican gentleman who was promenading with the Americans, was arrested, but he was released at the pri son gate. He hastened to the Governor's palace to tee Davilla, but when he pressed upon that dignitary the release of tho pri soners, he was again put under arrest and held in the palace until tbe following morn ing. The American Consul has sent to Secretary Seward a report of the indiguity. A duel took place on Saturday near Bal timore, between Colonel P. X. Green, of Missouri, and Daniel G.
