The Li gialature ofKew-Yori convened two we "ks since, jet up to this hour no organization of the Aascmbly has beeateffected. If thoae 'Americans" who were elected bj "Bcpabtieaa" votes, and Wi add Bot have been chosen without those votes, ) DtlId ?et a* ? Large portion of their supporters un? doubtedly beflered they would act wh' n they voted for them, theHouae would be organized forthwith; oril all the ?' Americans " would coalesce with tho Democrata and divide Um offices oi the Hen ae, aa a nu-joiity of them are eager and have voted to do, there would he an organization this evening. We trust the nine " Americans" will go into the House - ceiling re-olved to take one or the other of the-e course.?we cure little which. It is too bud that their united and thcii divided action ehould alike serve to ke. p the House disorganized and the legislature paralyzed. The Republicans are blamed by certain journals for not accepting the balMonf proffered then bj tl'- Americans. One excellent reason for their declining it il this: The Republican candidate for Clerk, whom this arrangenacnt wonld throw out. happens to have been born in some other country than our own. He was the Clerk last year, and is known to be honest, capable and worthy. If the Ki puhheans were to drop him in favor of an '?American," by arrangement with the third party, it would be widely proclaimed that they did so j ktftiUMt he was a " foreign"!-"?that they had ac ooptod the proserijdive dogma of Americ tnisiii. 'this wonld he false, but it would iieverthelese be peraisted in and believed. The Republican canae has now a sufficient load of unjust odium to sus? tain, without assuming this burden. The Republican! hate been willing from the out set to adopt the Plurality rule, and let the highest nuinbei ol vole-elect Mch officer of the House. This wai the rule adopted by tin- Federal House of Representatives in 1-111-."?<>, under which Howell Cobb (now Secretary of the Treasury ) was chosen Bpeaher, with Democrats for most if not all the minor Offices, It was again adopted by the last House, and I Republican Speaker, an American Clerk, a Democratic Printer and Sergeant-at Aiins chosen under it, with minor officers semi Republican, lemi-Know-Nothing. It is the only lair and just rule for such cases; and WC wish it were made a portion of the parlia aaentarji law of the country, that, whenever two ballots for an elective officer of any legislative body -hall have failed to effect a choice, a plurality shall elect on tho next, and (in case of a tie) on every succeeding vote. This is a rule equal and just to all parlies, and calculated to save much Valuable time. We arc proud of having belonged to the Whig party, which gave seven-eighths of tho votes by which it was carried at Washington in '49-60 (though it then enured to the immediate benefit of their opponents), and to the Republican party, which steadily supported it iu 1865-6, It ought to have been adopted the first day of the Session at Albany, and made perpetual, M far aa common conaent could give it perpetuity. Then if the two weaker parties choose to combine in any case and overpower the strongest, they can do so; if not, the strongest party takes the organization, as it should. We trust the Republicans will to-night Bgnin urge the Plurality rule, and take a rota on it; if beaten, we should greatly prefer that three or four of them should withhold their votes, and let the Alvord and Wilson coalition prevail, if it can once more rally the votes of all the Democrat! and most of the Americans. Do not let Hie organiza? tion be longer delayed. Let no Republican engage in any bargain; but, if we cannot choose our can? didates, let our opponents choose theirs. The offices are not worth another week's contest. In the exploration by Lieut. Ucale of a wagon road from Albuquerque, Ncw -Me\ico, due west, or nearly so, to the Colorado River, the adaptability of camels to thoso arid w estern regions seems to have been put to a pretty thorough test. The im? ported camels, s on i? ninety in number, beside seve? ral dromedaries, were landed originally at Indianola, T< xas, whence, alter recruiting awhile, they were taken to San Antonio, to be employed iu the expe? dition of Lieut. Beale and that of Capt. Pope for sinking artesian wells in the deserts intersected by the Rio Pecos. Lieut, Reale left San Antonio on the 86th of dune, having selected for his expedition twenty three camels and three dromedaries. The camels were laden with a largo portion of the grain ncceaaary for the tcajns of mules. Thoso of them which iu their uativo country had been trained to this business were found capable of carrying a thousand pounds. The expedition took the route from San Antonio to LI Paso, and thence up the Rio Ur?mie to Albuquerque, at some distance west of which the new explorations were to begin. From San Aniotiio to Alboquerqae, by this route, the distance ii over a thousand miles, a large part of it through districts very sctutily supplied with either grata 01 w ater. It w as accomplished in forty five days, the train moving at au average late of four miles an hour, and the camels Waring the journey perfectly well. From Albuquerque the expedition marc bed toZali, an outlying settlement ol \tw-Mexico. Lieut. Peile left Sail on the 'j-th of August, baring obtained an escort of troops from Fort Defiance, situate some ninety miles to the north in the country of the Narajos, His route la] nearly due west, along the ?oth parallel of north latitude, and through a region hitherto almost unknown. As tar aa the Little Colorado, the roa.i. though, with volcanic ranges of moun? tains constantly iu sight, some of them capped with snow, was comparatively level. There were abundant SUpfdkl of grass, with tim? ber in ancient for fuel, and plenty of wa? ter. After crossing Little Colorado, which was followed for some days and which ba- a wide and fertile bottom, with a fringe of cotton wood along the banks, the expedition eucouutored the San Franc im o mountain, having on its evateru ilopc |zf at forests of pine, ai d on its western slope forests of ct-der. From the western toot of t lis mountain the country grows more barreu till near the banks of the Colorado it becomes a deie-t. except the bottom landi a few miles in extent. The river hen was found to be from two to three hundred yards wide, flowing at the rate ad three or four milea an hour a-d with n-netccn feet of water in the mid channel. It w?! unobstructed by rocks, at,J was I appar ; . ? \ sab'e for large- steamera.

It is especially adapted tot thi ?beep trade?sheep heing tbe ehief staple of New Mexico?and is likely to lead to increased trade and intercourse between New-Mexico and Cali? fornia. What particularly adapts the camel for use in those regions is not merely their capacity to en? dure fatigue and to go without water, but the rOTJ coarse and scanty food with which they are con? tent. They eat as they go along, whatever they find in their path, bending their long necks and throwing their heads into every narrow crevice of the rocks where grows a cactus or a clump of grass, or cropping the leaves from the branches of trees without in the least retarding their progress. In this respect, as in many others, they have a gnat advantage over mules or horses, which re? quire food us regular!) as man himself. The modern and patent religions, invented by Brig ham Young, Dr. Boaa and other well known and ingenious ei clesiastic.il artists, although for a time the) have seemed to be in a floriilent condi? tion, have just now been subjected to a frigid blast which Biay result in their radical exter? mination.

We have by mail some further detail* a* to new diatsuhajacea in Mexico, of winch information bj telegraph was published a few dajs since. In ac? cepting the Plan of Taeubaya, which be 'lid by a manifesto dated the 19th of December. Comoufort went into a review of the internal affairs of the country since he had been called to the head of the Government by the Plan of Ayutla, on the 1st of March, 1864s The chief aim of this manifesto seems to be to defend himself against any charge of precipitation or personal ambition in accepting the Dictafoiship under the new Plan of Taeubaya. The late Constitutional Convention, he says, was treattd from the beginning by him and his Govern? ment with the greatest loyalty, but that body failed to fulfill the expectation of the public by carrying nan] iu a satisfactory manner the promises and guaranties of the Plan of Ay utla. No sooner, in? deed, bad the public become aw are of the dominant ideas of that body than lymptomi of disgust and i disapprobation began decidedly to manifest them? selves. Feasting, however, to net or to seem to act ia the intereat of the party hostile to all re erase, the Qorenunent sustained the Cosajaoss m spite of the public di*giist and agitation, enabled it to complete its labors, and even accepted and swore to the new Constitution. Put some of the State Legislatures?whoso influence ami au? thority had been chiefly consulted ia the new Constitution?were the first to disregard and infringe it by intruding on the limited powers still left to the National Government, and iiinicr the shade and shield of legality a silent but pervading anarchy was speedily established which deprived the Central Government of its moral and physical resources, and rendered it powerless to contend agaiaat its eneamiee. This defect became so appaient that even the Congress, met under the new Constitution, saw the necessity of sm pendinga part of its provisions. Iu this state of things, ('< inoiifort wished to resign, but he-itated at taking a step which threatened to lead nut in>ri ly lo civil war but to the dissolution of society itself, in hopes of y et saving the new Consti .u ? tion, he had suggested certain reforms?but the troops in the capital and elsewhere, less confident than himself of improvement by such means, had. without any consultation with him, proclaimed the Plan of Taeubaya. '1 bis BOH movement he represents as not the act i f a faction, but as a mere echo on the part of the troops of the national will, which had already re? jected the new Constitution. Having been from the beginning of his pobtical career a supporter of liberal principles, be does uot now nn an to recede from a course of w ise and pru? dent reform. At the same time he disavow s any in teutiou to attack either the consciences or the faith of the citizens, hoping to be able to conciliate freedom and religion. The overthrow of the Con? stitution of 1*\"?7 disposes of a certain number of these questions. As to the law of the 86th of June, respecting the secularization of the property of the Church, he professes a disposition to tran qudize by conciliating that reform with the inter? ests of the religious corporations and thftse of pri? vate individuals. Such was Coaaoaiort'l m vv pro? gramme?vague enough, as is apt to be the case with Mexican state papers, but seeming to look pretty distinctly to an abandonment in purr, if not wholly, of the policy for some time pursued of sec? ularizing the estates of the clergy. Viewed in this light, it has given decided off-nse to the Turm, or ultra reform party. It has been denounced in Vera Cruz and in the States of Guanajuato and San Luis POtosij but, though the movement seems to be :.i.mining, we have no information which wiil enable us to judge of the probable result. It does not yet appear whether the ultra conservative party wiil take advantage of thia quarrel to renew their attempts to possess themselves of power, or whether they w?i give their ?upp-irt to Comoufort. Reports reach us from various sources that th Administration is blindly bent on forcing the Le? eomptoii Constitution through Congress. We have of late supposed, in view of the prospective vote of the Territory against that instrument, that this would not be done, unless the act were, accompa? nied by a subiii.ssiou af the Con*titi'tion to the peoala.

The people of the Free states wilt probably understand the case when put la thia form. And the usurpers in Kan? sas wiil gain but a temporary advantage from this National crime, Kansas is sure to be a Free State ?if riot upon her Admission, then at an early day after her Admission; if not by the as-cut of Con? gress, then in defiance of the resistance of Congress; il not by legal and conservative means, then by the right arms of her free citizeus. aided by their com? patriot! throughout the Free States.

I The WitkinL'ton Gfedeof Saturday gives u* the entire debate of the day before en the already cel ehrat ><! $i?7,ou<> tariff charge, and presents some singular features. Mr. Stanton of Ohio, after waiting, but in vain, for tbe dominant party in the House to order an investigation, introduced his resolutions raising a Bl led Committee for that purpoae, Bubeeqaently, Mr. Bhermanihowedthat av.rv large majority of the Republicans Voted tjvrasf the peerage of the Tariff, which is charged t<> bare been carried through bribery, and that all but two Democrat! voted for it. The Demo? cratic memben substituted a reoolntion by Mr. I.etcher of Virginia for Sfanton'*, and will thus have the control of the Committee in their own hands. We trust, however, that the) will probe tl matter to the bottom, and expose rascality t llv. if there has been an), DB mutter on which side thev may find it. Mr. Stanton and Mr. (in.w lifted also in favor of ordering such an investigation as would give im? plicated member! an opportunity to confront the witnesses against them?a privilege which the Constitution secures to th. pettiest thief. In the last Congress, when the BBepected Members ap? pealed for a public trial before the fellow-ine mbers who were to decide on theirguilf.it was argued that there wns not time; and they were therefore convicted on the report of u Committee which had held all its sessions iu the strictest secrcsy. Though Stanton and Grow were nnnarff nfiil La their effort* now, we trust that, aa Congressmen are paid by the )ear, and have the whole year before them, they will not plead such an excuse again; but if any person is implicated, whatever his party relatioB! ?By be, that he shall have the fullest opportunity for a public trial b) bit peers before he is branded with the etigm&of corruption. Mr. Biair off. re] a resolution condemning the suppression of testi? mony taken b) the Committee of the last session, which had beeu expunged in their manuscript jour? nal, and their refusal to follow up the eine which this suppressed testimony gave to corruption on the part of other Members, a* au inexcusable failure iu the discharge of duty; bat it was ruled out of order. II - object, however, was doabtleM to serve notice OB the Committee of this session that their investi gatiOB! mtist be impartial, and not oaf lidod, aud tk - object was attained by the) ijatrodoctioa. of the rt m lution. One of the speakers at the Lite glorifying dinner given to the filibuster Walker, at Richmond, pro? nounced himself in favor of a Southern liepublic, w h.-re negroes couhl be servants and white men ??gentlemen." It must be confessed that the o!d ued race of gentlemen, which formerly ex? isted in nor Southern Republics, is very rapidly be eoeaing extinct. Tuey are being fast superseded bj a new teLeratioD, who esteem it the hight of courage and chivalry to steal uaawares, three to getcer. on an unarmed man. o&e beating him over the Lead while tbe other two watch in the neigh? borhood to keep otf intruders &nd see fair piny. To revive tie race of gentlemea at the South is a very excellent object, aad .f tne thing cannot be accomplished in any other way, we, too, with such a result in prospect, might be induced to g*> in for a Southern Republic. At things ttand at present in the South, though there is no great obstacle that we are aware of to negroe* being servants, it it, it must be confessed, exceedingly difficult for ? bite men to be gentlemen. But whether Walker, and -uch a* he, would be apt to tucceed any bet? ter La that line in Nicaragua than they do in Vir? ginia admitt, peraap*, of aette doubt.

Whether this has really bdatl ?o atraaged, n mains to be seen, and may bo aacertained by the public when the trial has been brought on. If, as has been intimated, a few minutes or a few hours shall suffice to d-spoae of the matter, and no preaet effort is made aaj the. part of the prosecution to ascertain who reall) did commit the crime, the public may know that tho influences alluded to htve done their work, tho farce of indicting innocent ft rsoas his successfully shielded the guilty, and that the Mood af the aaar* dered man will go unavenged. It may be within the province of a Judge to confine a prosecution strictly to the indictment, and to ignore all dia oloearee or proof which may have come to light alter the indictment was perfected; but it will bo d Beult to convince the people that such a course is consistent with the due administration of justice. It is also stated that these potent influences to which we have alluded have beea brought to bear upon one of oureoternporariee in such a manner a* to render it probable that no unnecessary uoisc will be made about the matter in that quarter, and that it will bd pa?scd over as a simple assault *nd bnt terv, or aa ofeven less importance, and the favorite Judge receive the usual indiscriminate praise.
