The President sent a message to the House to-day in- closing the following communication from Lieut.-Gen. Grant: TTeareuantrea Anyea oF TAR Usrrep States, W asniNgToN, D. C., May 16, 1866, Hon, EB. M. STANTON, Secretary of War. Sie: In view of the long delay in the lower House or Con- gress in agreeing upon a plan for the reorganization of the army, suitable to our present requirements, and the urgent necessity for early action, 1 am induced to present the mailer to you officially, and to ask the attention of Congress to it, be- lieving that when they have the matter fairly before them they will do what should be done speedily. At the present time settlements are springing up with un. usual rapidity in the district of country between the Missouri River and the Pacific Ocean, where heretofore the Indian was left in undisputed possession. Emigrants are pushing to those settlements, and to the gold fields of the kocky Mountains, by every available highway. The people flocking to these regions are citizens of the United States, and are entitled to the protection of the Government. They are devel oping the resources of the country to its great advaptage, thus making it the interest as weil as duty to give them military protection, This wakes as much greater force west of the Mississippi necessary, than was ever heretofore required. A small military force is re- auired in al! the States lately in rebellion, and it cannot be oreseen that this force will not be required for some time to come. It is to be hoped that this force will not be necessary to enforce the laws, either State or National; but the differ- ence of sentiment engendered by the great war, which has raged for four years, will make the presence of a militar force necessary to give a feeling of security to the people. All ciasses disposed to obey the laws of the country will feel this alike. To waintain order, the Government has been compelled to retain volunteers. All white volunteers have become dissat- isfied and claim that the contract with them has been violated by retaining them after the war was over. By reason of dis- satisfaction they are no longer of use, and every one now re- maining in the service might as well be discharged at once, The colored volunteer has equal right to elaim his disebarge, but, as yet he bas vot done so. How Jong will existing Jaws, authorize the retention of this Er are content to remain? The United States passed promptly a bill for {he reorganization of the army Which, in m opinion, is as free from objection as any great measnie could possibly be, and it would suLD'y tie minimum and requisite force. It gives buta few thousand additional men over the present organization, bat gives a large number of additional battalions and com- anies, ‘The public service, guarding routes over the lains and civing protection in the Southern States, demand s the occupation of a great number of posts, For many of them, a small company is just as efficient as one with more men in it would be. Tae hill before Congress, or the oue that has passed the Senate, gives an increased number of companies by di- winisting the number of rank and fie of each Tt is an exceedingly appropriate measurg ju this particular, for it provides for the increase when oceasion re quires more men, The company is the smallest unit of organi zation that can be used without materially injuring discipline and efficiency. The belief that Congress would act promptly on this matter, if their attention was called to it, has induced me to respectfully ask your attention to it. If you agree with Senate me in this matter, 1 would also ask if you deen it proper that this, with such indorsement as you may be pleased to make, be The President to-day returned to the Senate, as was re- quested by them, the name of Sloanaker, Internal Reve wue Collector of Philadelphia. His prospect of confirme- tion is exceedingly slim. The only men now willing to Sherman said the question as to a loan to be put on the vote for him are the Democratic Seuators and a few con- servative Republicans, ABOUT THE COLORADO VETO. night the Presideqt sent fo the were received by Mr. Cooper, his private Secretary, and Sei@ founded as to their political views; and intimations wade that if (Ley were prepared to sustain the President's policy he could arrange to have the bill sigued. They declined to do so, and were finally ushered iuto the presence of the President, and the offer was there soade directly to them; but they were unwilling to abau- don their openly-avowed principles of a lifetime, and said that they preferred to let the bill be vetoed. If this state- nent is not correct, the Senators should deny it. INTERNAL REVENUE. Juternal revenue receipts to-day were $541,249, ASYLUM FOR DISABLED SOLDIER=.

The Senate will take up the Pension bill to-morrow as the epecial order, and the Finance bill of Senator Sherman will have to go over for a week, as the Constitutional amendments will come up on Monday next as the special order, and will occnpy perhaps a week. The Consular and Diplomatic aud West Point Appropriation bills were fin- ished to-day in the Senate, and now return to the House, bat there are vo material amendments that will be object. wd to, except the creation of another Assistant Secre- tary of State, to be termed a Second Assistant. It is un- derstood that Chief-Clerk Hunter will be designated, if the bill becomes u law. HOUSE BUSINESS.

The Post-Office Department has iseued orders to discon- tinue the delivery of the wails at an early dey at all offices in South Carolina, and perhaps in other States where there 1% which must be presented in some legal form, under are no regularly appointed and commissioned postmasters, ce, even {1 they and labor may interfere, and become necessary to ask for a far ther appropriation. Of course the amount stated will not serve to restore each of the light stations to its original condition, and the Board has not attempted this, but simply to put ap such structures as would admit of the exhibition of lights of the same power and characteristics as formerly. For instance, to restore the first order light at Sand Island to the condition in wbich it was before the war would have required at least €=0,000, which would bave absorbed four-fifths of the amount appropriated, The Board consequently approved a cheaper and less enduring tower ata small propor- tion of the $80,000, but still sufficient for a first order appara. tus for a few years. In other words tle Board has endeavored to make the money appropriated go as far as possible. Very respectfully, W. B. SEvericK, Chairman, Hon. Huén McCurrocn, Secretary of the Treasury.

The Secretary of the Treasury has just received the fol lowing important report from the Chairman of the Light louse Board: TrEASUEY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE LIGHTHOUSE BOARD, WASHING ION, May 2, 1866, Sti: I bave the Lonor to state that at the beginuiug of the Rebellion, Jan. 1, 176], there were in operation on the Atlantic and Gulf coaste of the United States 37 lighthouses, light vessels and lighted beacons. Of this number 177 were within the limits of the seceding States, and by the 1st of Jane fol- lowing were all either extivgoished with wore or less damage to buildings and apparatus or were totally destroyed. The only i 1 exceptions were the light stations on the eastern shore of Vir- in, 13 88 Monroe aud Alexandria, Va.

They also proposed calling upen the Cabinet to rédestablish lights and other aids to navigation which Lave been discontinued or destroyed on the Southern coast.” The Board having thus placed at its digposal a special fund, thongh small in comparison with the work to be accomplished, did what it could to carry into effect the wishes of Congress. The rapidiy as our army advanced in repossessiug the forts, arse- nals and other public property of the United States the light- house estallishment kept pace. Whenever the military author- anus, munitions of war, or ships, even, not needed by our navy, sud take ber bonds in payment, than to guarantee aay portion of her indebtedness, could not be brought to either indorse or the Senate surely could uot.

He will uet be permitted to bear the burdan of this respousi- bility undivided.

Mr. TRUMBULL, in explaining the above amendment, gaid he believed that the legal business of all tho Depart. ments could be best done under the direction of the Attor- nev-Gyeneral, n the course of a discussion on this subject, Mr. Som NER, ID opposing the amendment, said there were claims against Grent Britain, amounting to willions, growing out of the depredations of the Alabama ar d other Rebel cruis- the sup erintendence of the Secretary of State, The amendment was agreed to by Yeas 1%, Nays 4, on the subjeet to-morrow but ask the House to vote upon the resolution. The morning hour was devoted to reports from the com- mittees, THE MTTRIC SYSTEM. Mr. Kageox (Iowa), from the Committee on Coinage, Weights and Mensures, reported a bill to authorize the use of the metric system of weights and measures. It enacts that after the passage of the act it shall be lawful throughout the United States to employ the weights and measures of the metric system, and contains a schedule of such weights and measures assimilating those at pres ent in use in this country to those in use in France. The measures of length are in meters, one of which is equal to 39 inches and 37-100ths of an inch. The meas- ures of surface are in square meters or centars, 100 of which are denominated arcs, 100 of the latter being denominated hectres, one of which is equivalent to two acres and 471,000ths of an acre, The mbasures of Sajadiiy are in litres, equal to one-quart and about one-gseventiet of a quart. The weights are in grammes, 100 of which are denominated a hectogramme, equal to three ounces and 527,000ths of an ounce, avoirdupois. In other words, an ounce is equal to 28 grammes and 31-100ths of a gramme. In reply to a question by Mr. NiBLACK, Mr, KAssoN stated that the bil authorizing the use of the metric sys- tem would go into effect as a permissive measure rerely. All the trades, arts and individuals who were willing and desirous to adopt it would do so after the passage of the act. It was not compulsory at any time. ‘The Committee did not feel authorized to determine the time when this system ghonld supersede exclusively the present system of weights and measures, but it is desired to legalize the system. Mr. N1BLACK expressed ‘himself perfeetly satisfied with the explanation. The bill was read three times and passed, STANDARD WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. Kassoy, from the same Committee, reported a joint resolution directing the Secretary of the Treasury to fur- pish to each State, to be delivered to the Governor thereof, one set of the standard weights and measures of the metric system, for the use of the States respectively. The joint resolution was read three times and passed. Mr. Kassoy, from the same Committee, reported a bill to authorize the use in post-offices of weights of the de- nomination of grammes. It authorizes the Postmaster (General to furnish to the post-offices exchanging mails to foreign countries and to such other offices as he shall think expedient, postal balances. denomiuated in grammes of the metric system, Half an ounce avoirdupois is to be deemed equivalent to 15 grauunes, and the rates of postage are to be applied accordingly. The bill was read three times and passed. STANDARD OF MONEY. Mr. KassoN, from the same Committee, reported a joint resolution authorizing the President to appoint a special commission to negotiate with foreign Governments for the establishment of a common unit of money of identical value in all commercial countries adopting the same; the lan adopted to be submitted to Congress for approval be. ore carried into effect in the United States, he GN Com- missioner to receive only his actual and proper expenses incurred in the execntion of his duties. This bill gave rise to seme discussion, participated in by Messrs, LAWRENCE (Ohio), Kassoy, and BANKS, tho former opposing the bill on the ground that the duty should be performed by the United States Ministers or Consular agents abroad, or by one of the Commissioners to the Paris Exhibition of 1867, Finally, the House came to vote, and the bill was passed by 65 to 38, CONFIRMATION OF A CLERK. On motion of Mr. KAssox, the Clerk of the Committee on Coinage, Weights aud Measures was allowed six dollars a day for forty days. BANKRUPT LAW. Mr. Jexckes (R. LL), from the Seleet Committee on the Bankrupt Law, reportad a bill to establish a uniform sye- tem of bankruptey throughout the United States. He ex- lained that it wis the Lill originally reported as amended in the House with some other amendments, meeting the objections then made to it, hese latter were simply in reference to the duties and fees of legal oflicers, Mr. Davis addressed the House in support of the bill. The morning Lour having expired, the bill went over till Tuesday next, DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT. After the morning bour, Mr, WiLsox (Iowa), from the Judie ary Committee, reported back the Senate bill amend- atory of an act to provide forthe reports of decisions of the Supreme Coort of the United States, which was read the third time and passed, Nr. SUMNER offered an amendment that the salary of a Minister Plenipotentiary or knvoy Extraordinary shall be that of a Minister Resident, exeept in countries now rep- resented by an Envoy Extraordinary. The amendment was agreed to by Yeas 18, Nays 16. Mr. BUCKALEW moved to amend by striking out $80,000 as an appropriation for the contingent fund of the State Departurent, and insert £50,000, Mr. BUCKALEW said the appropriation referred to was for the secret service of the State Department. The amendment was agreed to, Mr. TrRoMpULL moved to reduce the appropriation for contingent expenses of all the missions a road from $00,000 to $40,000. Mr. BuckaLEw moved to reconsider the amendment above given. The motion was negatived, The bill was then read a third time and passed. WEST POINT ACADEMY. The West Point Academy bill was then taken up. The Finance Committee recommended as au amendment the striking out of the following proviso: Provided, Tust no part of the sums appropriated by the pro- visions of this act shall be expended in the violation of the provisions of an act entitled An Act to preseribe an oath of office and for other purposes, approved July 2, 1x62," And provided, further, That no part of the moneys appropri- vote on his ated by this or any other act shail be applied to the pay or subsistence of any cadet from any State declared to be in Point Lighthouse, Louse, Frying. J rebellion against the Government of the United States, appointed after the 1st day of January, 1#66, until such State bal pave been returned to its origioul relations to the Union, under and by virtue of an act or joint resolution of Congress for that case made and provided. Mr. Wirsoy asked for an explanation of the above amendment. Mr. FESsENDEN said there was no necessity for the first proviso. Nearly all the cadets to which the South is en- titled had already been appointed from the Northern States, There were but a few vacancies remaining, and the Finance Committee thought it best to leave these open for the few loyal men in the Southern States. Mr. WiLsoN said the explanation of Mr. Fessenden was satisfactory to him. Tho amendment was agreed to. Mr. RAMSEY inquired if there was any provision iu the bill against the appointinent as cadets of men who had heen in the Rebel army. He understood a case of that kind had occurred in Sppolnting to the Naval Academy. Mr.J¥ 1 ssEXDEN said there was but a single case of the kind, ard that mistake was not knowingly committed. Mr. WiLsos offered an amendment prohibiting the ap- pointment of men who bave served in the Rebel ary or navy, as cadets at West Point, Nr. SHuemaN suggested that Mr, Wilson's amendment be amended so as to exclude those who have served in the Rebel army or navy from the Naval Academy. Mr. WILSON aceopted thé above as an ameudmont to his amendment, Mr. Cox NESS suzgested a modification so as to make the exclusion applicable to those already in the Academies who have been in the Rebel army or navy. Mr. DooLiTrLe said there ought to be a distinction made between those who voluntarily went into the Rebel service and those who were forced in. He moved the in- gertion of the word Soar Mr. Fes-expeN hoped it would not be 20 amended. If it was it would turn ont that all were forced in. Mr. DooLILLE asked Mr. Fessenden if he meant to in- clude those who were forced in. Mr. Fessex EN said he would rather not run the rigk of getting Rebel into the Academies. Mr. DooLITTLL's amendment to insert the word ‘vol. ustanly’ was disagreed to. Yeas 8; Rays Buckalew, Cowan, Davis, Doolittle, Dixon, Hendricks und Johnson voted in the affirmative, Mr. Tresor offered an amendment to Mr. Wilson's amendinent, that no vacancy in States and distriets not represented in Congress shall be filled while said States and disjtivia ure unrepresented. Mr. FESSENDEN said the above bill was sim lar tu the provision already stricken out, Mr. Trumball's amendment was disagreed to. Mr. Wilson's amendment was adopted, and the hill was then passed. Guthne, THE FUNDING BILL. Mr. SHERMAN wished an understanding us to a special order for the consideration of the Funding bill.

The paragraph in regard to miners gave rise to consider- able debate, Messrs, Stevens, Kelley, McRuer, Bidwell and Hooper taking ground against the tax, and Messrs. Morrill, Blane and Schenck defending it. Finally debate was closed on the paragraph, and the Committee was brought to a vote, which was, on motion of Mr. Stevens, to strike out the paragraph.

STEADMAN AND FULLERTON AT NORFOLK. INTERVIEW WITH COLORED CITIZENS. Their Estimate of the Bureau. SUFFRAGE THE ONLY SUBSTITUTE. tt Freedmen's Report of an interview between Gens, Steadman and Fullerton with the leading colored citizens of Norfolk, Va. held al the Court-room of the Freedmen’s Bureau. corner Fen Church and Marsh-sts., Norfolk, Va,, on Sunday afternoon, April 22, 1866, at 34 o'clock. Nearly all the seats being filled and the hour hav- ing arrived, the audience was addressed by Capt. A. 8S. Flagg, in charge of First District R. F. and A. L. He stated in a brief and eloquent manner the object of the meeting to be, that Gens. Steadman and Fullerton wish to converse with the colored freemen and get their ideas concerning the wants and necessities of the people relative to the Freedmen's Burean in the South, and slso obtain from them their views as to existing state of affairs here and the best way to adjust the difficulties between the whites and blacks in the States lately in rebellion, Capt. Flagg referred to the idea entertained by some gentlemen that the agents of the Bureau were mere sticks of wood” and incapable of rendering any assistance to the colored freemen. At the close of his remarks, he enjoined that the colored people work quietly, orderly and industriously to bring abou’ the desired results, Gens, Steadman and Fullerton arrived, accompanied by Gen. O. Brown, Capt. C. E. Jobnson and others, who took seats on the platform, Capt. FLAGG then introduced Gene, Steadman and Fullerton, The audience received them by rising on their feet, Gen. STEADMAN stated that his mission was to converse with them as to the general state of feeling between the whites and blacks in this community, and said that he was with them in an official capacity, with Gen. Fullerton as 8 Commissioner, sent by President Johnson to inquire into the affairs of the Freedmen’s Bureau in the South, and to obtain information as to the benefit derived from the Burean by the people, He said that he could not talk to all of them, but if they would appoint a delegation, that he would talk with them in bebalf of the people. Accordingly, the following gentlemen were chosen said delegation, viz Wm. Keiling, J. T. Wilson, J. G. Selden, A. A. Portlock, N. Barbour and James Bryant. Mr. Ketso—1I hope the Freedmen's Burean will not be abolished until law and order is restored here, and to the whole country; were the Government to remove it now, while we are not recognized as men by the whites of the South, it would be leaving us and the white Union men at the mercy of the ignorant and still rampant Rebels and enemies of the Gor- ernment. I claim that it is ausafe to abolish the Burean until the Gov- ernment declares that we are men, and we have the enjoyment of ell our rights as American freemen. It is unsafe to remove the military forces until we are put on an equality with all other citizens. I hope the Burean will be sllowed to remain until the laws of the State are modified and remodeled so that we can have justice before the civil courts—so that we can choose our rulers—so that we can have a say as to who shall receive the taxes that we pay to support the State and Municipal Govern- ments, The people of the South must be taught that we are men like unto themselves, and that we mutt be respected as such. The people of the South must be educated and instructed as to the fundamental principles of our Government. We will assist to pay for their education. We have extended to them the right hand of friendship, and they have spurned it with scorn and contempt. We are qaiet and orderly, and are law-abiding citizens; but wo wish to be consulted as to the making of thes laws Lust gov. ern us, We are directly interested in oll things the same as the white man. We treat the whites as wo would have them treat us. We respect them, and they must learn to do like wise. We do not molest the whites, but they are continually interfering with us. In many cases when we work for them they will not pay us tor our labor until forced to do so by the taw, end if the whites alone have a voice in making the laws, they will not provide for usin those laws. Much prejudice still exists against us by the whites, but we do not feel any animosity against them. We are willing to cast off the past, and nsite to harmonize for the future, but they refuse to come np to the standard of right and justice. If the Burean must be removed, let us have a good military to supply its place. asa witness in cases [between white men; but where eller party is colored, his evidence will be taken, Mr. WiLsoN—Then if we were to see a Rebel shoot down a loyalist, we could not act as a witness in such a case? Gen, STEADMAN~No; you could rot. Mr. WiLsoN—Sappose the combatants were both colored, could a white man act as 8 witness 1 Gen. STEADMAN—Yes, according to Virginia law; you ean make the white man a witness in your case, there is where you have the advantage of the white man. A. A.

I want to be in- formed of the best way to bring about peace #o that it will last. I want to get up all the evidence that I can toy rocecd on my mission. Do you think that justice will be done the colored people at the Civil Courts if the Bureau is abolished. Mr. PoRiLOCK~—] do not; 1 hope the Government will re- tain the Bureau and give us the protection of the military. When we are recognized as men, thea I think it wii be tiae to talk about abolishing the Bureau, and not until then. 1 want to see peace, NICHOLAS BarBoun—I tlink tbat when men become free, they ought to have a chance to enjoy their freedom. I do not think that when we grow up from childhood and become wen, and arrive ai manhood that we ought to always remain under the parental roof. 1am a discharged United States seamen; when I enlisted to fight the battles of my country I did not expect when the war was over that T would have to apply to the General Gov- ernment to give me a guard when I wanted to travel from place to place in my own native country; I did not think that it would be needed after the war at any rate. 1 mean to say that when the Rebellion was crushed, and peace restored to our distracted country, I d'd not expect i would be necessary to keep guard over my own house, and to be armed to the teeth to keep down the Rebels; I thought the Government was strong enongh to enforce her laws, founded on the fundamental principles of the Government, I did pot expect to be on guard the balance of my dars, but the way things bave turned up it seems so, 1 thought when the Civil Rights bill became a law that it would be enforced by the Government, 1 did not expect to see one Jaw for white men and another for black men, 1 expected to see all tried in tue same Conrt by the same law, My idea is to teach all men what the law is, and then try all alike. Have no distinction on acconnt of race or color. Let the same doctor physic both the white and black alike. If the white Union man dies in our cause, we are also willing to die with him, and vice vers: Ifbe lives, we want to live als. We have both been the common sufferers, let us both reap the common benefit, The Bureau must remain a while longer, but I do vot want to he always dependent on the Government for military wid and interference, that 1 may live here and enjoy the fruits of wy Put us all upon our own resources anl give us oll the sane chance. Hed it not been for the blacks the Union white mea of the South wonld have been exterminated long ago, GEN. STEAUMAN—Do yeu think justice would be showo you by the State courts if the Bureau were removed Mr, BARBOUR~Keep the Buren for five years at least, aud I think the resolt will be a good ome. All the people, both white and black, will then bare a chance during that time, to go to schoo! and find oat the way to be happy. Bat T am in favor of settling the whole matter right on ‘ie spot, by giving to all the exercise of the right of suffrage. The ballot in the hands of 4,000,000 loyal men can do the whoie thing, and I think that this is the quickest and cheapest way to settle the question, If this is done aad free «choo's estab lished throughout the length and bre:dth of the South, God 1a a short time will do the balance JAMES BRYANT] tell you, may dear Sir, itis iwpossibie for us to get justice before the State courts. Their prejudice is so stroeg against us that they lose ali their reison, if they ever had any, Mr. Ketuixe—Ii there were n code of lows to govern the Daredu, tven we would know better what to do. What laws are we to be governed by Gen. STEADMAN—You have a right to sue aod be sued, te testify in the civil courts; the duties of the Bureau must be turned over to the civil conrts; had this better be done while the military remain Mr. Ketun—I think it best to get the Virginia courts is the habit of doing us justice now, while the military are bere; then it will be much easier for them after the military are with drawn. Gen, STEADMAN— Yon must test the Virginia courts while the military are here. I thik your proposition a very scnsibvie one. Mr. Wisox—Suppose we do not get a fair trial at the Lauds But the Bureau, as it stands, must be supported, protected and assisted by the military.

ment; then, if we have good «flicers, we will have justice before the Civil Courts of the State. It is very doubtful that a white jury can be found here that will do us justice, strengthened, pnd that peace may be soon restored. J.T. WiLsox—1 see no provision made by the Legislature of Virginia by which the blacke, with the white loyalists, are protected from the disloyal whites. The whites fear the military, and, I believe, judging the future by the past, that they will not give us justice unless forced to do so by the military. (Give the black man a voice in the Government, aud we are all safe. Make him a responsible citizen—I mean give him the use of the ballot, the exercise of this right asa freeman, the exercise of the same rights as his forefathers had in the formation of the Government. When we vote, we will then, and not wnutil then, feel safe; then we will feel that we have come to the age of maturity, and that wo are no longer incapable of protecting ourselves, Gen. STEADMAN=-If the laws of Virginia were duly executed, would you not then have justice shown you! Mr. WILsON—We have not yet soen these laws executed Justly. Gen. STRADMAN~Do not the civil magistrates duly execute these laws’ Mr. WiLsox—They have not. The laws of Virginia do aot allow us to wake contracts for a term longer than two months, Gen, STEADMAN—I am not posted as to the laws of Virginia, Are the whites more hostile to the blacks than they were some time previous. Mr, WiLsoN—Thoy seem to get worse every day, especially since the passage of the Civil Rights bill, Vik STEAUMAN—ATe there any local causes for this bos. tility? Mr. WiLsoN—T think the cause is the existence of roughs” in the community. (ron, STEADMAN—W ere you ever a slave Mr, WiLsox—No, Sir; I was born free. Gen. STEADMAN (to Mr. Keiling) ~Were you a slave Mr. Keiing—I was, and bought myself for $350, aud paid my hire of $110 per yoar; allow me to say just here that the old white resident lawyers will not now act as our counsel; bafore the civil Courts, they tell us that we most now get the Yankee lawyers to act for vs. They say that the Yankees have freed us, and that wo must now look to them to plead for us. 3 (Mr. Koiliug here cited one or two (ustances to prove this) Gen. STEADMAN Give ma the names of soma of the old white residents whe are koown to you to be Union mea aod are your friends, Mr. WiLsoN—Francis Da Cordy, James H. Kall, P.F. Scbliecker, Z. Sykes, Dr. D.

Tha colored people are (rue to the Government, are quiet and law-abiging, but they are many of tiem ignorsat of the existence of cortain laws. The rebellious spirit ls now rile agaiost the blacks; they say that bad it not been for the blacks they would have whipped the Yankees. The Robol sympathizers and (he Copperhaads ave bitter against both the black man and the Union. The KEebels say they hate the negroes because they were once their property. They say that one Southern man Is letter than ten Yankees. One man (3 Mr. Marsden) told me the other day that he was a8 good as ten Yankees at any time.” Marsdon was in the Rebel army during the war. Mr. Witsox—Can we render the white loyalist any protee- tion in the position that we are in? Gen, STEADMAN=Tn every way, ercepl as a wi'ness. A black man cannot (according to the eivillaw of Virginia) ack 1 lope and pray that the Bureau may remain and be of the State courts, will we have a right to wike an appes from them Gen. STEADMAN—Certainly; you cu appeal to the United States Conrts, JAMES NICKLES (late First Sergeant Co. 1, 1st U. 8, C, C. j= To have peace, we must have a republican form of govern: We know that we cannot get justice at the State courts; they do not recognize that we have any rights as wlite wen have.

Mr, Wnsox—Does the Government recognize the Virginia courts Gen SteApMAN—It docs. 1f the action of the State conrts are oppressive, ap) lication can be made to the United States courts, the same as in oc ses between white men. Mr. Witsox—I think if we bad the exercise of the right of suffrage, it might then be sale to abolish the Bureau, and until we do this, we are unsafe and cannot enjoy our freedom. We are anxious to vote because it is our right to do so. Our fore fathers exercised this right in the dark days of our country, and why cannot we in this enlightened age! We have polled our vote on the battle field; why cannot we poll it at the bal lot-box If we are allowed the use of the bullet to suppress Rebellion, why can we not as intelligently use the ballot to keep down rebellion? Educate the people of tbe South; learn them that we have laws, that we have a country and a Goverament, and that the laws of the Government must be enfo then remove the great barcier, inequality, and put us all on the same footing, and we will then all be respected by the whites of the South I hope the Bureau Way yok remain until this and by all men, removed until this is done. hope the military will not question is settled, *F.

UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF PROTECTION. mt Report Upon the Relations of Foreign Trade {0 Domestic Industry and Internal Revenue, em NY STEPHEN COLWELL. or INE UNITED SIATES REVENUE COMNMIBtION, Be TapasuRy DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THR UNITED STATES} REVENUE COMMISSION, February, ito. The few, Huon McCULLOCH, Secretary of the Treasurys &1k: The burden of heavy taxation being new 10 tbe people of the United States, they Lave much to learn, both es 10 the ar’ of carrying and the mode of adjusting it. It eC uld sot be expected that complete sucoess would be attained at ence tu a matter of so much ¢omplication and such varied as peet and bearing. In one respect, however, the success has been ample—the awount levied and collected bas been large rpough to commence suspiciously our new fiviancial career. If remalns now to establish a system of taxation and finance, which, while it sustains the power and credit of the mation, will, ae little ag possible, obstruct the progress and success of wational industry, and as little as possible prevent that indus try from taking the deep root neceseary to a strong and full growth Something more thau were bard work ie needful to give to industry the power to endare taxation; itis peedtul not only that labor should be remmnerated, but that ite products should be remunerative, People may work hard and long, and have Little to epare for taxes, It is needful, in other words, that Jabor should not only be productive of great resulte and abun sant commodities, but it should be productive of net income, for ont of such income only can texee be paid for any pro- tracted period. To make industry productive and profitable, all the labor of a country should be emvloyed, for those who sepend upon their labor for a living avd are not employed wut be a dead weight upon the community. If taxes do not come from net income, they must ultimately crush the industry upob which they are levied The union between capital end labor, necessary to the larg set profitalle production, must be undisturbed, and must en joy the full patronage of the whole people to secure the highest vesn)t. In any country, well-ordered and successful industry works itself into a system, each part of which becomes neces wary to the other, as the members of the body are each neccs- sary to the Luman trame. No member can be removed or seriously impa‘red without serious damage to the whole. And if po such system is formed in a country, itis a proof tha: ite industry is not well balanced, and ceanot be toily effective, A system of industry in any country grows out of the special wants of ite people, and the special direction of its productive forces to supply those wants, The domestic intercbavge of wu people living under the same laws, speaking the same lan guage. baving the game money of account, the same coin, the same banking system, consists in mutually exchanging com modities and services. The agriculturist the mannfacturer the mechanic, the artists and the various professional classes, and finally the officers and employ és of the Government, all these exchange with each other their various productions, their skill, science or other service. Daily intercourse and wecessity establish between them a rate of valuation ox price dor commodities, for time, #kill, art, and science, in whieh each class and indivdnal strives to secure due justice, so that the result of the whole of their efforts is that general range of prices which prevails in any country, Nothing in eivilized society engages men's attention more constantly, nothing is more earnes:ly observed, vet nothing is were fiuctuating than vices, and few things are so little understood. Thousands of influences, seen and unseen, ore constantly bearing uron them, and the tendencies to ¢hange are #0 numerous and varied that tLev cannot be traced. One of the most influential of these canses is the fact that so far as the commodities of industry are concerned, the buiness of distribution has fallen into the hands of a distinct class, the werchants, who puschaee and sell the produets of industry, and whose interest is to parchase as cheaply as they can and sell at the highest rate they can. Prices of commodities are cor stantly and largely moditied by their operations. Distarbances and chonges come {Tom every quarter; a proper sud jost equilibrium is seidom long maintained. Extreme wariatious sre very hurtiul, Dearing severely vpon some, while other classes are unduly benefited. No boon could be wore grateful to productive industry than regolar and fair prices, The most numerous and important class of society with re. ference to this subiect is that of the laborers. The remunera- tion secured to them determines mainly the whole range of prices. especially in a country like ours, where laborers have #0 much power to exact large wages, and select the best paid ewployments. Jo some proportion to the general rate of their wages, salaries, nrofessional and other compensations, are txed. There is thus a proportion between prices running through ell the transactions of community governed chiefly ow] the remuneration of labor. This belongs to every syatem of industry. Put cvery productive class Las special charac teristics to be noted. Manufactures on a large scele Lave in our day grown into as importance only inferiorsto agriculture; very different, however, in general economy, processes, avd wovements, The capital, special skill, science, the capacity for extensive busi- nese, and the large operations involved in the modern ecomomy of manufacturing, make it in many aepects a matter of vast na- tional concern. It is so, not only on account of the multitudes of laborers it employs, and the wages it pars, but in ts rela tions to national independence. The greatest economy of man- facture can only be achieved in large establishments, and Base connet fail to be a benefit to the people amovg whom they ave placed. Tbe United States has now hecome, if not the the first mana- facturing country in the world, at least the second, for though, op account of our high prices, we are not large exporters of manufactured goods, the people in proportion te their mum- pers are very much the largest consumers of commodities vowing from large establishments. Great manafactories more than double the productive power a country, adding to manual labor the vast results of ma ebivery and of water and steam power, Our progress in manufacture, both in regard to gnantity and ahality, despite o ficulties, is far beyond any conception of those who have not, with adequate knowledge, observed it. Our superiority in invention in the style of execution, and in ahe varieties of our applications of machinery, cannot be Ce nied. Pritish manufactures, English bardware especialiy Lave been almost expelled from our markets by super cles of howe production. Every year adde to the list of do- mestic wanutactares, and proves our ability in a very short time, in favorable circumstances, to supply all our home wants, wot only of the plainest, but the most elaborately artistic cow. wodities, ‘The career of great as well as small manufacturing is one which eminently suits the capacity and genius of our peoole; their success thus far, under manifold obstacies, proves this 1t suits our country, too, for every manufactory with its nu- merous operatives makes an additional market for our bound- less agricultural domain. The first problem of our labor is a market for our agricaltural products. Foreign countries will take our cotton aad, when they need it, our wheat, bot oor manufacturing population will take their whole supply of all tbat field, orchard, pasture, and stalls afford. Two things are essential to the success of manufacturing in this country. First, a ready market, for the dally expenditure #8 80 great that rapid sales are necessary; and, second, fair prices, for the outlay is so large that the losses become hesvy weekly, or even daily, if prices are not remanerative. Our success in manufacturing bas not been attained but at av im- mense cost. We note the successes, but the failures and losses, if fairly summed up, would show a very small pet gain, Indi viduals, firms, and companies have made great profits, but as whole there is reason to believe that the manufacturers of this country have never realised Two per cent ou their invest ments. There is one consideration in favor of the fullest manufac turing development which, like its importance to our egrical tural interests, should never be overlooked in our estimates of the power of our peopie to bear taxation. It is the simple fact that we can never obtain from any or all foreign countries our whole supply of what we wear, and a like supply of iron, steel, copper, lead, tin, and other metals, for the gimple reason that could not be transported to our shores, and if they could, we have no means of paying for them. Foreign nations alto- gether will not take from us what will pay for gug- tenth of the amonnt of our wants, The consumption in the United States of iron, steel, copper, teed, sine, woolien goods, cotton goods, leather, and glass, is not Jess than to the vaiue of a thousand million of dollars, of js a!l yuder foreign muusgement and control when landed which we import to the value of less than a bandred milljor In io years, when the Southern She ve oe 4 recovered, this consumption must reach, with the increase iu the Northern and Middle s, an amount ot least half as mech more. To fm our supply of these articles from cheapest markeis of Farope or of the world, would take all the gold iu the country. all our cotton, and all the coromodi- ties usnally exported, and leave us in debt for half the amount. in agriculture; it would put wheat to fifty cents per bushel and every other prodact In setdon; it would reduce monthly wages agaio to teu or fifteen dollars, snd virtually piace the whole try in the condition of an appazage of the manu. countries of 8 But tue suppit lou of such an importation is too preposter- wus even to be used as an illastration. It is not only preposter- ous, it is im ible. Such an tmportation is not only impos: sible, but it 3s scarcely poss:hla to import ten per cent of our ion of those commodities. The cheapness of foreign manafsctures depead mainly ou our own abilities to supply ourselves; the foreign goods ares only offered at rates low to nndersell the domestic manufacturer, When ow home mauufactuie ceases, oreign goods are no longer cLesp We drecompeiied by these considerations, and otLers equally 40 resort tc manulactures at bome for ninety per cenl of our consumption of such artic.es as ars above enumerated, No country excep: Great Biitain imports to the amonnt of ten per cent of its corsumption and in her case it is because the QXCess OVOr ten per cent consists of raw materials of her mann. factares. which are more than double in value and reéxported The cousunplion of these articles of necessity and comiort in Great Britain, it should be noted, is far below what it 5 lu the United States. The necessity of making our owa goods may be explained sapposing that two counotry merchants offer their severa! stocks of goods in a riel agricultural distriet iu the West furnishing the only two sources of supply for the neighbor ‘The one taxiug only sush articles for bis goods as will bear exportation to some forsign country; the other taking every product of the field, garden, orchard, pasture, and, of course, takiug nine-leatis of the business.

The population of Great Britain sud the United States is respeciively not far from 30,008,000, yet the internal trade of the United States is of tenfold greater value than our entire foreign trade, cluding the United Kungdoms of Great Britain and Ireland. Our foreign trade with France is Jess toan o fifteenth part of the value of onr domestie trade. The strength and wealth of a country should be measured by the quantity and value of its prod sctions which it consatoes, pot by what it sends to other countries. No civilized na- of the United States more than all Europe; so also the City of New York and New Jersey. The trade between Penusvlva- nia, New-Jersey and New-York on one side, and the New England States ou the other, vartly exceeds our trade with Furope. Illustrations of all this way be found in the statistics of ev ery country, and each of our States, Wherever -judustry 1s moet varied and promoted, where the purchasing power is hest developed, there taxation can be borne with the least in- jury. And it is to prosperity, founded on diversified industry, that we look for ability to bear cheerfully for a score of years the taxes needful to discharge our increasing national expen: ditures, the interest of our hea: v debt, and its final extinction. Our debt cannot be paid off in the time many anticipate, because there will inevitably oecor occasions when it must be production, for the sake of phrehasing a much less quantity of increased, Our financial arrangements must now be made on a system which, like the present, will not only furnish the amount required, but just as surely on system which will not weaken the producing power of national industry by an awk- ward distribution of she burden, A soldier's knapsack, prop- erly placed, may be earried Jong and cheerfully, or it may be 0 placed as to chafe him into misery, and be flung away as an insufferable burden. Sach isthe present distribution of our taxation. No nation ever bore such a burden placed as ours even for a vear; nor can our people bear it two years more. It is now beginning to grind ite way to the vitals of the productive power of the nation, and the generous die tion of the people is even now curdling into impatience, which in another year or two wil! become the root of apaity taat will carry everything before it, The people of the United States, with their knowledge and expericuce in public affairs, and their command over their public men cannot long endure a vicious system of taxation, They will soon see what is Wrong, what is necessarily anuoy- ing and inconvenient, and will demand a full and satisfactory remedy. This should be conceded at once, as $Yely yeas will increase the impatience of tax payers and the difficulty of making changes. No people pay taxes more willingly, but pone are more indignant at injustice, or are less tolerant of nae skillful legislation, 1f diversity of production adds so muck to the productive power of a people, and by consequence so much more to their purchasing power, and, of course, to their ability to endure protracted taxation, it is proper to consider what policy on the part of the Government will most promote diversitied in- dustry, and secure its activity and continuance, Many sng- gestions arise in regard to our national policy touching such departments of our industry as are exposed to foreign compe. tion. Those who are engaged in the game pursuits have of- ten experienced the severity or home com tition, and been subjected to a struggle involving all the ecomomy, skill, and perseverance they could command, but generally with public benel:, even thoogh individuals suffered. In a competition for the home market ther competitors are in A great degree under mutual observation, and note each other's progress and every aspect of their several productions, as well as their daily condition. They know what the market will bear, and the ability of each toward supplying it. Toey are not surprised by extraordi. nary and unexpected quantities of their special goods thrown upon the warket, and they work vigorously to maintain their place in their own markets by improving the quality and re. ducing the price of their goods. mestie competition within due bounds is. therefore, a public advavtage; but the ocoa- sions are not rare where competition at home becomes a tem- porary occasion of evil, as when machinery, or water, or steam is substituted for manual labor, or in cases where dis- coveries are made or inventions brought into use giving ad- vantages to some not attainable by others. This may, and does at times, bear with distressing severity npon both em. ployers and employés, and, so far as competition goes, this is enough for the former, and more than enough for the latter, whose living depends upon the regularity and permanence of their business, The competition with foreign products and laborers is differ ut in operation and results. Whatever benefits may be claimed for it are wholly overcome by its mischiefs. The trade between nations remote from each other is always characterized by great irregularity in quantities and vaiues, as compared with the conrse of domestic production and trade. So great is this fluctuation, that people would often suffer for clothing, food, and other necessaries if the domestio trade was equally variable. Foreign trade is chicfly in surpluses, But it is affected also largely by the fluctustions in price, as they bappen to occur in different nations. One people may be in peed, but others have little to spare; or it may have a Jarpe surping, and others not be in want. The opinions of merchants as to their own or foreign markets, in which they way widely differ or be greatly mistaken, together with those ever.re. eurring commercial eonvulsions which, for time, prostrate both trade and production, contribute to make international trade so variable as to be dangerous to the more steady pur suits of domestic industry. Ihe fluctuations of imports into our own country may be threatened.

They en- gender a speculative spirit, an evil, the extent of which can never be measured nor sufliciently appreciated. A trade so variable cannot but impart this unwholesome characteristic to our whole internal commerce. This alone demands an adequate remedy, as most inimical to the productive power of labor. The variation in quantity and prices of commodities impart to foreign trade many characteristics of gambling. The regu lar merchant very often finds himself surrounded by adven- turers and speculators whom he scarcely knows how to regard; they tay be smugglers, they may be geabiing speculators, or they may be agents of foreign merch Our foreign trade, however, its advantages or disadvan tages apart, is uow undergoing a change which will certainly make it a worse foe to our home industry that it has ever beco. This change bas its origin in tae ad valorem features of our re- cent tariffs. Qur shipping bas so diminished that goods come to us in foreign vessels, and, of course, the shipping, freight, &c., ere, The trade has for many years, therefore, been taking a shape which bas now grown to ormidable dimensions, The facto- ries, workshops, and the workmen are in Europe, the ware. hogse is in New-York. Goods intended for the warehouse are invoiced at the factory cost, are entered at our Custom House ot that price, the duties are largely diminished, and the evil of tion with cheap labor increased. The mischiefs of thus karboring a class of men whose business it 1s to debauch or wislead our officers, to rob us of revenue and injure our do- mestic industry, is so apparent that they slonld long since have found a remedy. These forelge agents codperate con- stantly for the evasion of our revenue laws, They inade- quate taxes, they render uo ilies servige, 10eF Tay very little rent, their sympatkias are all on the other side, and their business is to nullify laws perieiifa to oar commerce and our industry. There is 80 redeeming benefit to reconcile us to their presence and operations. If they realize fortunes Lere, thelr money, instead of going to iucrease capital or aid enter- prise here, is carried to Europe to swell the volume of capita) thers, which is ewployed in overwhelming our wising industry, No conatry in the world is afflicted ‘with such a multitude of ncale. commercial parasites, Tne concentration of foreign commodities and the agents of foreign firms and coropanies in New-York, gives this foreign interest the control of prices there, and of courre, iB a large degree. of tha whole country.

But the disadvantage is yet so grest that it should be a con- stant object of national aifention and anxiety to those who are shaping the financial policy of the Government.

It is well known that shippers of goods to thie country fake full advantage of their power over our warkets, both for their own advantage and for our jury. Not ouly so—such is com mercial sensitiveness in the matter of prices—that the arrival of unusual quantities of woods at New-York affects prices before they are offered for sale, and prices not unfrequeatly give way even upon report of orders gone abroad for goods, which cannot arrive for many weeks, This it is, among other characteristics, which makes foreign competition so much dreaded. 1tparalyzes domestic industry. It is fitful, variable, discouraging, and sometimes overwhelming. Dependent as we are, and inust continue to be, npon our

bowe_ industry for full nine-tenths of domestic consumption, and ae the prices at which home-made articles must depend upon the skill, vigor and svecess of home production, it ean- not be wise to subject domestic laborers to a competition 80 destructive as that of our trade with Europe, without due pre. cautions. By no possible effort, by no possible extension of that trade, could the people of the United States be one-fourth so well supplied with the necessaries, comforts, and luxuries of life, ax they are now by bome production, The indispensable ational policy is to nphold and cherish that industry, to which we are compelled to look for nearly all that meets the wants of civilized life, 1t is suicidal to break down or weaken the chief sources of cheaper commodities from abroad. Nor can it be wise to ex- pose our home production to the full effect of a competition, which keeps one-half our whole population in an almost hope- less struggle for profit if not for existence, It cannot be wise to permit the continuance of a struggle, the tendency of which is to reduce laborers in this country to the condition of those in Europe, as to morals, remuneration, and intelligence. Bat more especially. in our Pluset view of the subject, it cannot be wise to expose the industry of the country to disturbances. which must serionsly impair its ability to endure permanent and requisite taxation, If the large sum of $200.000,000 yearly, which it is apperent must now be drawn, in addition to” the amount yielded by the custome, from the people for the public treasury, be returned by public expenditure tothe channels of our own industry from which it is drawn, it is evident that the process cannot greatly damage or weaken productive power; but if those who receive this amount from the Government expend any large proportion for the products of foreign industry, the amount so expended will be annually drawn and retained from the capital of our own industry, and to that extent it must be disabled. So, if that portion of the population engaged in professional life and in pursuits other than those of productive industry, expend any considerable proportion of their incomes upon the products of foreign lauds, in that proportion they impair the power of that home production to which they owe the income thns expended, and derauge that domestic system which alone can make a nation prosperous snd powerful They violate that which onr most eminent political economist has happily called “The Harmony of Iuterests,’ which should characterize a national industry. If our country is to attain that prosperity whicl is within its reach, and which will place and keep it in the very front rank of nations in all respects, it must preserve its internal industry trom a free competition with the cheap labor of other parts of the world. It must not our policy to bring down our laborers to the rate of wages prevailing elsewhere, but to maintain them on a bigher platform and make everything else correspond. Deliverance from some of the worst evils of that cheap Jabot competition will so strengthen and consolidate the productive forces of the nation, aud so add to the natio wealth, that our present taxation will seem a light burden compared with the determined rivalry of foreign manufac turers, continually tempted by the great profits which lie between their cheap and our high-priced labor. It should ever have been our policy to make a strict aml skillfal adjustment, by means of a tariff. between wages of labor at home and abroad. For want of that adjustment our industry has suffered, by the fluctuations aud other incidents of foreign trade, more loss than can be conceived by those who have not carefully examined the subject, with full means of information. Great as bas been the progress of the manu facturing industry of the country. and great as has been the consequent increase of national wealth and power, it is believed. on much investigation, that the ndividaals who have reared this vast structure have never realized 2 per cent on the whole of the investments made in its progress, What it would have been always politic br the country to do has become indispensable now—a finaucial necessity, Our tarifl must now not oly be adjosted to the difference between the cost of labor abroad and at Lome, but also to the burden of the internal duties levied upon home products. This is now a pressing duty. The complications and duplication of taxes arising from the great number of articles and occupations taxed bas not only nentralized the foreign or custom duties, bat in many cases produced a heavy discrimination ia fayor of foreign labor, Our home prodoction has seldom been in greater peril than at this moment, Foreign manufacturers and merchants, never long in discovering any gap affording them access to our high priced markets, now perceive an 0} portunity of enlarging their trade with the United States, offering more and greater advantages than they bave enjoyed in this country for many years. Our high prices, the result of any causes connected with the war, such as the withdrawal of labor from many aveca- tions, the combinations of specniators. and the large and in cessant Government demand, are not the only temptations to the excessive importations with which the country is now world, Despite long continued efforts to discredit them, they are flowing steadily into the possession of foreign capitalists destined to yield a large profit at no distant day. A bond of the United States is worth as much intrinsically, for invest ment, as that portion of Enelish console which will yield in interest the same quantity of gold. It cannot be doubted that capitalists in England and wpon the Continent are now willing to take bonds of the United States for the proceeds of all shipments of commodities to this country, as jong as the bonds can be had at a price which will yield six per cent interest, and much more readily when the bonds can be got ad a rate, a= now, yelling nearly nine per cent, The reason our national bonds sell at such a laree discount in Europe is, that as the foreign purchasers can obtain them at the low rate, they are not disposed to give more. Gold Leng over-valued in this country, having risen in price on account of the special demand for it to pay custom duties to the amount of $2,000,000 weekly, they purchase our bonds, lutrinsieally worth gold at par in Losdon, and pay us in gold at 40 per cent premium. If the merchants and wanufacturers who now threaten to overwhelm us with foreign commodities sell here for gold, they realize on it a premium of 40 per ceut in our eur. rency and then take the bonds at par. Or if they sell thels goods at onr high rates in currency, they take the bonds at par, and &1 000 in these bouds are worth more to hold in Lon- don than £206 9s, the equivalent at par iu sterling, At present these cirenmatances offer the largest profit exer made on the shipment of foreign goods to this country. Those interested in this movement can now realize high prices for their goods, seriously injure our manufacturing industry, weaken their rivals, and obtain our national bonds at a Leavy discount. These great advantages thus offered to foreign eap- {talists are as fully to our detriment as to their benefit, The imperil our productive power, our ability to pay taxes; and. in fact, our whole financial system. They sap our national strength: they continuonsly damage our domestic industry by substituting the products of their own; by depriving our la. borers of employment while obtaining in our markets the means of employing their own, beside realizing large profits for the enterprising individnale who engage ia the business, That there is good ground for these apprehensions is proved by the freely-expressed belief in Europe, entertalied as fully in this country, that the qavthy of goods to reach our shores from Europe this year isto bo greater than ever known. Intelligence by every arrival from abroad confirms this antici: ation, Ip the midst of a war without precedent In ite importance and magnitude, we were in an exceptional position, demand. ing immediate and special legislation and public action. We are now commercially and financially in an exceptional and not a normal situation, The speculation in gold, wbich has cost the country nearly, if not altogether, a thousand millions of our money, we failed to nip in the bud. Let not this new movement at car expense be allowed to gain like strength, and do us like injary. This subject is thos dwelt upon, and might with advantage be more distinetly set forth, because it bears with special sig- nificance upon the future ability of the country to pay taxes, to maintain public credit, and of course upon the iucrease of pationn! wealth and power. 1t is the policy of European Governments to keep w low, that they may manufacture for the markets of the hoi. England holds a million of her people in pauperism, coustitu- ting a reservoir of cheap laborers from which she may recruit the ranks of labor as they become thinned by overwork, ill feeding and bad lodging. Four millions more are in position to be thrown on the parish. on the kinduess of their country- men, or ou the charity of distant nations, upon occasions of bad harvests, or of commercial revulsion. ould it be politic or humane to reduce our Jboring population to that condition? Would it be economically wise? ould it add to our national strength?

It is easier to purchase eight bundred or even a thousand millions of home productions than to pay for three hundred millions worth brought from Eurepe and Asia, It is great temptation to men In professional life, men liv. ing upon annuities and salaries, to supply their wants from cheaper markets, but they have their pavantage too ia living where all labor and all services are compensated upon a higher The system of labor and compensation which make our prices, is the one to which they belong, and it should not be thrown into confusion for the benefit of a few. The agri oultural, manufacturing and mechanical classes must be kept up, if we keep pace with the civiliaation of our day, hut more especially if we aspire to lead. If our consumption of food and clothing und other necessaries pflife is maintained at the pres- ent standard of comfort and convenience, four fifths at least wnat he the products of our own skill and labor, We are then nnder the necessity, as a civilized people, of maintaing a vast system of mam facturing industry, We can. pot dotbis if haltor even fourth of our population patronize foreign labor instead of their own. We have such advantages for mannfacturing, from the aptuess of the people for improve. ent in the production of the necessaries, higher comforts aud Juxnries of 1%, that no risk is incurred in looking to the skill and taste of our people for a full equivalent for everything that Europe oan send us, We ean then obtain to the extent whatever is needed, even though we hava nothing to export that is wanted abroad, Our mannfsciurers have already furatshied ample evidence to warrant our confiding iu them, If we tax their capacity to double the extent, thay will res t has often been alleged that ony manufacturers are naling nudue gains, at the expense of other clasees of society. 1h belief can only ba entertained by these who have not had saf fioiant opportunities of observing the exact progress of manu. facturing industry, among the people who Lae carried it on. Lowell and Lawrence, and mavy other manufacturing towns, sxhibit striking evidences of wealth. But divide that wealth among all who are engaged in it, aud it will be found to yield a sum for ench one interosted, not much if any larger than would result from suck division aaong an equal number of Western farmers. ‘The people of New.Fagland know that there ia strength and success, in combining their labor and their money for great purposes.

And although the people of Massachusetts Laye to bring from the West all their breadstufls, their improved land is, ac- cording 14 the conus of 1860, worth on the average #57 oy acre, the same as the superior soil of New-York.

This distribution of wealth is moving westward, It has already traversed New. York. New-Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and it has wade large progress in Obie, and not a little in Indiana, Wlinois, and Mis sourl. Let not this westward progress of science, civilization, {and abundance, be disturbed and obstructed by the watchful efforts of merchants and capitalists, who wield for their own benefit, the bones and muscles of the working men of Earope, It may seem that the wealth of the Eastern manufacturers is greater than it is, from the large sum of the prodnet as valued for the market, but it must not be forgotten, thal ru this sum is to be taken the cost of the wool, the cotton, irod, steel, leather, and a vast number of other articles of raw material, all of which they have to purchase, together with at least one barrel of flour yearly for esery hand engaged in manufactures. Tt is very certain that the whola clear profit of the mano- factarers would net pay two per cent upon the amount thus invested in the United States during the last fifty years. We have before us sll the results of success, but the census of Josses would be fearful to contemplate. On the whole, the manufacturers have done far more for their couutry than their business has done for them, More clear profit has been wade in the United States by foreign manufacigrers than by our own. The productive power of the country has been marvel ously developed; but a very large proportion of the persons who have been engaged in this have either lost their whole estate in their efforts after success, or have worn out their lives in establishing an industry which only became profitable to their country and those who succeeded them. If the history of manufacturers were written with a view to exh bit their mistortunes, it would or should remove every suspicion of ex- traordinary profits, Their profits are only large two or three years in ten; for two to four years they are small, and they seklom escape ten years without years of heavy loss. At least half the time is made up of years of anxiety and care. If we are to attain the highest destiny of which, as 8 peopie, are territorinlly, 1f our economical policy had belonged wholly to the States, as such, the nation could never Lave developed its present prodnetive power, So now. if as a people we indulge territorial prejudices or class Jjealousies, we shall cheek progress, and become a prey to the cheap labor and cheap capital of Europe. Let onr people not fall to remember why that capital and Jabor are cheap: the working: classes are 80 inadequately paid that more, much more, than due proportion of the proceeds of their labor goes to the capi talist; nor to remember that in Great Britain eppeeiaily and more or less in otker manufacturing countries, the theory of industry is not to add to the comfort and welfare of the working-classes by promoting a full exchange of their products among the whole people. Employers there rchase labor at the lowest price at which it can be obt ned, and sim at foreign markets to obtain the largest retarn ible in money or raw materials, To manufacture for a foreign trade, in rivalry with all other countries, makes it necessary to keep down the laborer and the price of labor, his only spmmmiiy, to the lowest point. There are at least 50,000,000 of people In Europe who would require $30 each yearly to make their con- dition equal to that of our working classes in this country. If the pablie and industrial policy of European countries were 80 changed as to give that additional sum to those of their own ople who need it, they wonld have a market for their pro- ets of 1,300,000,000, in addition to what they now commaxd, and nearly, if not aitogetber, equal to all their foreign trade, certainly of far greater importance 10 the interests of hu wanity. There should be no struggle to bring down wages; rather Jet it be to preserve our market and our home system of Jabor from being hep down by a system which has taken such deep root in Europe, Lut which should have no more toleration here than serfdom. The obvious policy of our foreign trade shonld be not to ad- mit foreign manufacturers to the privilege of our markets on better terms thanourown enjoy. This isa policy under which every class of our people would prosper and our taxes would prove a far lighter burden than the oppressive competition which has been so long endured with Furopean cheap labor, Whatever may be pretended or asserted, thers is no error of fact or doctrine in this. It it as well known as any other European fact that wages there have long been Jess than halt what they are here; it is as well known that the disparity now is greater than ever, with our general range of prices still bearing the same proportion to the price of labor. Admission to our markets is, therefore, the aim of all manu. facturing people, to make their sales, but not, of course, to take our high-priced for their cheaper woods, As we caunot obtain a supply equal to a value of $2,000,000, the world, we mast maiotain a system of manufacturing able to furnish at least four fifths of our wants, It is a conclusion made here, and of the Lest quality, we must give our support to home industry. Our manufacturers Lave made such pro- gress in their several arts as eunabies os to confide iu their ability to meet adequately all wants aud all tastes. They fairly sustained. These remarks are not offered with the object of recom. mending very high duties, The subject is not regarded from that point of view. It is as well known as any other fact that the rate of wages is wore than double as high bere as iu Europe. It is known that our working classes have more wer to exact bigh wages here than they bave there, itis pot necessary to discuss the question as to the propriety of their exercising that power, They are clearly justified by the theory of our political system. Acting upon that, they de. other prices here are now adjosted to this advanced rate of Jabor., Our people bave long since acceded to e higher com- pensation for labor than is given elsewhere. luterest:d parties at home, who were consumers and not pro- ducers, and who, from Various reasons, were not willing to pay the enhanced prices for commodities corres. rate of Iabor, declared in favor of patroni ing ponding to the the cheap labor of Earope, and opposed all efforts of the Goy- ernment to place the working classes at home la fair competition with the foreign, by fixing such duties on for eign commodities as would bring the foreign and domestio manufacturers to equality in onr markets. It did pot seem to be nderstood that it was mainly a question of competition. at is vers plain, however, that if two manufacturers of the same apticle sre beside each other, aud looking to the same market, one of whom can obtain labor at Jess thav bal what is paid by the other, the one employin the cheaper labor can make 6 double profit and take all the business, It is just as clear that it makes only the difference of transportation, if the cheap labor is at 2000 miles distance, The hardship to the working-man and the wupoiery is not less, to be crashed by cheap labor thousands of miles away than lo the sawe city. The evil to the country is very mach greater. The rigid principle of interuational trade should be, that all things being taken lato account, the working classes should, by prope: precastions and legislation, be. placed in fair and striet competition in each other's markets. Even this prinel- ple would often operate harshly, and it would be the daty of any government to save its own citizens from injary in cases of emergency.

It can- pot be done, however, without producing such a cry of distress as will compel the legislature to cut off a competition so disas. trous.

It must bo perfectly evident to those who are well acquainted with our umsteady und va- riable commercial aud industrial policy for the last 50 years, that oar revenue, external and internal, must fall short of what is required, if domestic industry is to undergo hereafter the same variable and mistaken course. The qvestion should not commodity, but what duties and what regulations will save our working classes from such a competition as must be op. pressive to them sud injurious to the country! If our consump tion of certain artioles be 830 yearly for each person, the im- portation w home cost of a quantity equal to 810 for each miiljons, and vent the production of a quantity, bowever much needed if for each person. The mischiefs of its irregnlarity are itensified by other peculiar characteristics of our foreign trade. The people are large con- sumers; our prices have always ruled high, our markets have been consequently the most prized by foreign merchants and manufacturers of any inthe world. Tbeir determination to avail themselves of these advantages, is shown by perseverin efforts to here, to evado our fiscal regulations, en to our Custom- House officers at any hazard. Bat we are not only large consnmers of goods, selected and imported for our own mse by our own merchants; upon the top of all these wo are stuffed to more than repletion with foreign com- modities thrust upon us—forced into us by sales at auction, Our own merchants, for every $1,000 worth of goods selected aud imported for our use, are obl to purchase another siderations.

Both parties were conservative. It was a study of mutual benefit between men who understood the respective interests at stake. It wus uot hastily or uuskilifully done. This great measure, so cautiously and carefully perfected with reference to the iuternal industry of each nation, has been eminently successiul. It is ous of the most important lessons upon international trade ever given to the world, It tonches nations not to rely upon the generalities of their re. spective tariffs, but to study together how far their respective ing injurious to their various industries should be ¢onceded, and everything allowed which could ben mutual henelit, In stioh a commercial ireaty, to which our country might be a party, the first step on our part would be to save our laboring classes and their wages, and so of other iaterests which might be erdangered. The fact that, a+ a manufacturing people, we cannot compets with the cheap labor of Earope and Asia, is often mentioned reproachfully, as if in disparagement of our activity, our capa- city, or our enterprise. Such reproach exhibits a want of con- sideration. All manufscturing oations have esrtain branches in whien, owing to peonliar circumstances, they excel: bat in regard to the whole range of those productions which are most necessary to civilized lite, no nation excels ours. and. in fact, very faw come nesr it. In the substitution of machinery all others ars far belind as, aud our progiess in this respect is far more rapid than is to be seen elsewhere. It is no re proach, nor does it furnish a semblance of reproach, that we cancot work as cheaply nor manufacture as cheaply as is done in most other countries, It is ne reproach tous that we par for g day's labor from two to four times as much as is paid in Furepe. 14 19 wo eredit to other nations that they pay but one. fourth or one-third as much for a day's labor as is paid here. The simple and intelligible fact that it is labor which oon- stitutes frum one-fourth to three-fourtus of the cest oi much the largest portion of the commodities produced in every country, is one that should finally solve the whole question of cowpatition, It is not desirable that wages iu this country shoud he redneed to the Earopean standard. Three fourths of our are directly or iy ucers, and they are paid for their productions or their labor two to four times as much as working receive abroad. Is it impolitie to pay such wagos, at iat a misfortune Neither one nor the Other. 1t is natnral proper result of our political and {n- dustrial system.

Respectfully submitted for the Com issicn, STEPHEN COLWELL, The Purchase of California by an Americas Cempany, To the Editor of The N. Y. Tribune. Sir: A correspondent who proclaims Liwself an adherent of the cause of Maximilian, and who says Le bas just arrived here from Lower California, mourns in your paper of W ednesday, tothe extent of half a column, that a territory, amounting in extent to more than all New-England, should be alienated from our next-door neighbor” (Maximilian) for the paltry sam of a million of dollars, He alleges this to be ove of the most extraordinary proceedings on record, snd by way of knocking the whole affair in the head, declares the gale to be unauthorized, and the grant, of course, to be illegal. He assumes this on the ground that the Juarist party are not o de facto government, and, therefore, cannot convey a valid title, to any of the Mexican domain. In connection with the assertion of this view, your correspondent says ho has been in- formed that merely the insignificant sum of $15,000 in eash, was paid upon the consummation of this purchase, and thence he generously infers that the Juarist agents who consented to the bar, either have little confidence in the success of she Republican cause or have been wade parties in interest to the gigantic scheme. e farther ascertain the political complexion of your corre. spondent by the fact that he speaks with respect and even adm ration of Dr. Gwin, otherwise ex-Senator, and at the same time embodies in his letter, the following evidence of Lis regard for the interest of the United States. But no one who understends the szgressive spirit of Americans to the southward, can doubt that the occupancy of Lower Celifornia under this grant of land would be only prelimivery to its becoming American in spirit aud in fact, and eventually, like Texas, ending inbite being wrested from the nation to which it rightfully belongs.” The spirit shown by this extract, excuses me {rom the neees- sity of exposing the motive which actuates this imperial adve- cate, and therefore I will confine myself simply to refuting the errors of fact which fill his communication, and which he un- fortunately puts forth over the icappropriate signature of LE t Ya In the first place, the grant of Lower California, with ite bar bors, wines, and fisheries, which was recently acquired by the Company alluded to, was made by the Republican Government of Mexico as early as the 30th March, 1864, before the advent of Maximilian in Mexico, and when Juarez was the soveregu de factos, a8 well aa sovereign de jure, of the whole Ke ublie, One of the motives which dictated the application for this grant was, that the establishment of an important American interest in Mexico, nuder the Republican title, would eperate as a valuable initiative of a question (without embarrassing the United States during its period of trouble) which our Government at some period. not far distant, would be fequired to initiate for itself. The Juarez Government, on the other hand, was induced to favor the application, because its colonizing features, in addition to filling up ap idle region with a valuable, wealth-producing population, wonld preci: cally interest the American people in the support of the Ke- publican title, Under the pressure of these proper aud con sistent motives, on both sides, the eraut was theretore wade, and in exchange for it, with its guasi governmental powers, its special privileges, its immediate citizenship to the enlonlete and freedom from military service, the grante.s were bonnd to jutroduce a certain number of families, within a given time, snd to pay down a stipulated sem in gold, as an carnest of thew intentions, and as a fee for their *‘order of possession. 1t so happendéd, however, that soon after this giunt wae made, the pretended empire of Maximilian was set up, war between the usarper and the Republican Government easned and the coast of the Peninsula, being at all times ut the merey of French mon-of-war, the original grautees, most of whom be longed to San Francisco, did not thick it advisable to come ‘0; wad with their money, to ask for the “Order of possession,” Tle domestio troubles of the United States mingling with these dui culties, most of the original parties retired from the enter. rise, and finally, the entire interest iu the grant wae scquired y the present Company, This Company, early in April las, beligviog that there soon would be no further political obsta ¢les to their carrying out the conditions of the grant, com. cluded to pay the earnest money, und to Lave the grant cou ferred upon them, through their trustees. lo accordance with this resolution, they paid over, on the ith day of the present month, to His Excellency M. Romero, the accredited Minisior of the only Government in Mexico which our Government recognizes, several times the amount ia cash, of the i000 (as a first cash payment), which your correspondent Truth” alleges, was all the actual eash” paid, ith this correction of the erroreons statements of your correspondent, “Truth,” I have ouly to add that the grant hse been carefully examined by the Hon. R. J. Walker and tue Hon, Caleb Cushing, both of whom Lave peosousesd it regu. larly made, full 1n 1s powers, and altogether valid, It bas farther been held by the last of these distinguished lawyers, that by all precedents of public law, titles granted by scver- eigns de facto and de jure, as was the case With the Ke ubie of Mexico on the 30th of March, 1:64, are held to Le good by the succeeding sovereign, even when Lostile to the granting power. The conclusion, therefore, was, that an American 1 terest, thus lawfully acquired, -would be instinctively p by the United States Government in the shape of a “condi n precedent,” to the recognition in Mexico of any new gor. ereignty whatever. It was under such advice as tiie the Company put out their money and assumed their obligatiour, and 1 very much doubt whether sour earrespondent Troth's legal opinion will be regarded as of decisive weight agains the above high opinions, or whether Lis pain at the prospect of the Peninsula being alienated rom “our Bext-dous neigh- bor” Maximilian, through the action of au American com: pany, will be shared by the American people.

At the opening of the Court yesterday morning Assistant-District- Attorney RB. C. Hutchings moved op the ease of William Coulter, who was indicted for the murder of Philip Kraemer, a private watchmay, on the 14th of February last, in Thirty-fifth-st., while engaged in the perpetration of burglary. illiam T. Kintzing, jr, and William V. Simpson, appeared as counsel for the prisoner. Counsel for the prisoner selected a jury, very soou after which, Mr. Hutchings open the case for the People, and culled several witnesses IL su port of the charge. Alice Birmingham testified that the prisoner came hewe to his house on the 15th of February, haviug in his possession bale of silk, which he said he had stolen; he said they bad killed the private watchman in Thirty-fifth-st.; that fhey bad tried to entice him away, but be would not go, and they killed hin, Witness further said that the prisoner burned up a largn portion of the silk and the rest he said he Lad sold to man paued Courts, who keeps an English ale house in Thirty-pinth- st. Upon ihe crossexamination of this witness by Mr, Kintziog it appeared that the prisoner Lad been living upon nard terms with bis mother-in-law, and during her examins- tion she said she would hang him,” aad she otherwise exbib- ited mueh feeling against the prisoner. D. Smith, oflicer of the Twentieth Precinct, testified: 1 ar rested the prisoner upon a charge preferred against Lim by Lie mother-in-law; in his possession I found a card of Courts, in Thirty-ninth-st., upon whose premises I found about $400 worth of the stolen silk. t Cross-examined—Alice Dirmingham, at the time she wade hese disclosures, she was somewhat under the influence of liquor; the silk I found at Courts’s was idendified as having been stolen some time before from another silk store, Peter Sabosker testified: I am a conductor on the Tenth-ave. railroad; on the meraiug of the 13th of February, at 20 o'clock, four men got into my car at Thirty-tifthest, apd Tenth ave. one block from where the burglary was commit- ted they each had a bundle of silk under their arms; 1 identify the prisoner as being one of the four men: I noticed him par- ticularly, as he bad a handkerchief iu bic hand wiping bis face; the men got ont at Coartlandt-st.; I saw Coulter at the Station- liouse upon his arrest, aud believe hin to be one of the men. Cross-examined—I never saw Coulter before that vight: when I saw him at the Station-House he was alone; I might be mistaken as to bis identity, but he vers auch resembles HI man I saw in the car; I thought it siragge to see a wan with a bundle at that hour of the moraing. Dr. Wooster Beach testified —Tue deceased had vpon bis head a wound which produced concossion of the brain; it might have been done with a “juamy” or a bar of iron; the other parts of the body were healthy. The counsel were about to call’ witnesses for the defense, when Justice Ingraham said he haa doubts as to whether it would be safe to convict, and directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner, which they promptly did, whereapon the prisoner was remanded to answer a charge of burglary.

Vormont is considerably agitated by the necessity of electing two U. 8. Senators next Fall—both seats being now filled by Executive nominees in place of Messrs. Collamer and Foot, deceased. There will be several candidates; but there is one man who may not be a candidate, yet who ought at all events to be chosen, because of what he has done and is able to do for his State and the Union. We need hardly add that his name is Justin 8S. Morrill. Collector Smythe is at last at home in the Custom. House. He has made no removals, and we hear will mako none until ho has taken time to make himself boroughly familiar with his duties. He Las made no appointments, save of Thomas Brown, esq., (formerly of Ohio) for Private Secrotary. He will not consider applications for office elsewhere than at the Custom- House, nor there during the hours of office business; but he will remain from 3 to 4 o'clock expressly to re- ceive suggestions on this head. We publish in other columns a faithful report of an interview between Gens, Steadman and Fullerton and a Committee of the colored people of Norfolk, Va. The talk of these representative colored men is re- plete with sound common sense, and no candid man, it seems to us, can read the clear and forcible state. ment of their positions without acknowledging that the best way to deal with such people is to treat them justly, and protect them in the enjoyment of their rights. Gen. Steadman’s mission will be productive of much good if it can bring us a few more reports like this of the intelligence and dignity which he finds among the blacks of the South, NORTH AND SOUTH-LET US UNDER. STAND. There is at present a general and laudable desire among the better portion of the Southern Whites to be fully and fairly comprehended at the North, In- stead of the old formulas—** If you don't stop talking that way, we will withdraw our trade and starve you," or “If we can ever catch vou on our soil, we will hang you," Southerners say, Hear and understand us at the North!" Had this spirit prevailed six to ten years ago, it would have saved the blood and desolation of a terrible war. Let it be upheld and encouraged, and we shall never have another such calamity, The Christian Index, Atlanta, Georgia, insists that the South is not understood at the North, and, in order that it may be, sets forth what it deems the real sentiment of the South in an article which we hero copy by request, to render it as conspicuous as we may. It is as follows: POUR MISTAKES. The great obstacle to reconstruction in Church and State, in fact and in feeling, lies in mutual misunderstanding of the facts in regard to esch other by the Northern and Bouthern people. If the truth were known at the North es to what is said, and done, and thought, aud felt in these Southern States, we believe that a controling number of the people there would be inclined to extend to us such treatment as we desire and as we think we deserve. There are four leading articulars in which wo think their judgments of us are entire. y wrong, and it they could be correctly fuformed on these poiuts, we believe that a vast stride would be made toward real peace. With a sincere desire to do good to our fellow: men, and to glorify our Father in Heaven, we procesd to men. tion these four things, aud to put ou record our solemn testi mony in regard to them. First It is believed at the North that the people hers con- sider the late dispute still unsettled; that they are anxious for another opportunity to resort to arms; and that thoy are ready and ripe to avail themselves of the first occasion to make ano- they ol ont Jor independence. bi n all this our Northern friends are entire! There is not a word of truth in it. There hi if sivinken. of whom it is true; of course we cannot say that there are none; but we can and do say that we know of none and have heard of none. The people hers are not thinking eboat arms nor about independence; the ideas for which the war was fought are considered obsolete and are seldom spoken of. The great idea with almost every one is to take care of himself and improve his own condition. Kevolution is, of all things, tho furthest from their wishes or thoughts. Second It is believed at the North that there is hero a gen- eral disposition to oppress and persecute the negro race, and, if ible, to reénsinve them. othing cgald be further from the truth. Daring the war the slaves for the most part stood by their masters, labored for them without overseers in th fds of instances, and sympa. thized with them and sustained them in eve ble way to the last, Since the war, they have conducted themselves with a degreo of propriety whioh, under the circumstances, is 8 wonder to the wold. These things bave increased the kind. ness of feelings which were kind before, andthe negro race is held in higher estimation at the South tuis dav than it ever has been, The rights of suffrage, of holding office and of sitting on juries are denied them by our laws, but in ul other respects they are (in ours) precissly on a footing with the white people, and so we think it is in most of the other States, The people of the North have been so often told that the opposite of all this is true, that they may find it hurd to believe what we tell them; but the facts are as we state. Third It is believed at the North, that the moment the o are clothed with political Woke they will ational de Southern use their influence for the repudiation of the Wo have never heard this scheme p by a Southern man, and it probably would never Lave thought of here if we had not vod the idea from Northern newspapers. We have never heard it spoken of except with condemnation, Most of us are wise enough to know that it is to our intereat to sustain the Government nnder which we expeot to live, Fourth: 1% tla believed at the North that the Southern people, if Invested with power, would endeavor to force upon jie Govern the assumption of the debt of the late Uon- racy. We do not believe that this idea ever entered intethe wildest dream of the most visionary man in these Southern States. We have never heard the subject mentioned, except with ridi- gule. and, ad ia the Jroseding gis; ve believe it never would ve beeu ned a not been t etieation by He Rortbosd press, hres: upon war 0 people at orth could only know the truth gard to the four points above spoken of, we believe that jp. would be an immense change in public opinion, and in the state of Joh eeling there, and that thé result would be a restoration of friendly relations and of material prosperity. Few of them, will see these lines; of those who see tuem, some, we have no doubt, will believe all we have said, for some of them know that our testimony can be relied on; some, wo fear, will say'that we willfully falsify; and others will probably say that wo are mistaken a8 to the facts.

Aint, PY m res Pp or pri- vately, as they may deslle, yny Comments by The Tribune. I. We are quite sure that The Indez is right in dis- claiming for the South any desire or purpose to re light the flames of Civil War. The experience of the late War is too recent and terrible. Yet we see that the South is constantly and powerfully incited to do that very thing in a different way but in the same spirit. She is openly urged by Northern Copperheads to send Senators and Representatives to Congress, who will take seats by force and violence in defiance of the law of the land, and thus constitute an opposition or second Congress, which will Involve the country afresh in the horrors of intestine convulsion and war. We entreat The Index to watch and warn against this project. It is certain, if pressed to realization, to deluge the land in fraternal blood, to no good end whetever. II. We quite agree with The Index that the better portion of the Southern Whites do not mean or wish to oppress the Blacks, Yet this rather negative good feeling does not shield nor save the Blacks from intol- erable wrongs and oppressions, as we have lately seen at Memphis and other points. The low-bred South- rons do love to oppress and abuse the Blacks; and the better class do not actively interfere to protect them; and they never will so long as the laws of the South are not just and equal. So long as the South allows the most ignorant and vicious White foreigner to become a citizen and a voter after a few years’ residence, and denies those same privileges to intelligent, exemplary Blacks born on her soil, she never will and never can be just to two-fifths of her people. That “Blacks have no rights that Whites are bouud to respect,” is an axiom ingrained ia the very core of Southern society and jurisprudence. The Index doubtless thinks the Blacks of Georgia have all the rights of Whites except those of voting, holding office, and sitting on juries (rather important exceptions!) but it is mistaken. If a Black, having a case in a Georgia court, wished his own brother to appear for him as counsel in that court, it would not be allowed. And this is but one instance out of many of the inequality and injustice of the laws of Georgia. That they have been and would still be worse, if Presi dent Johnson had not insisted on (meliorations, The Inder either knows or can learn. The facts that pure and refined Northern women, who go South to teach black children, are very generally treated with hostility by the Whites, refused board in their families, and often in- sulted and abused, and that negro school-houses have been burnt by scores, and in widely separated locali- ties, and that, while hundreds (at least) of Blacks have been murdered by Whites in the South since the War ended, and not one of the murderers convicted and punished as such by the civil authority, are con- clusive on this bead. IIL. We accept what The Index says of the National and Confederate Debts respectively, as proof that many Southern Whites feel and mean justly and loy- ally with regard to them; but Gov. Wise is also a Southron, and his recent proclamation that Green- backs will soon be worthless” is testimony quite as cogent and significant as that of The Inder. Each represents, doubtless, a phase of Southern opinion. Wo fear those who hold with Wise are by far the bolder party. Finally, we wish, on the main point, to go further than The Index. It assures us that the South does not intend nor seek to break out of the Union. We agree to this, and add that a majority of the Southern Whites never did, before they were maddened by lies and bloodshed, wish the Union dissolved. The revolutionary party in the South was never more than a daring, unscrupulous, domineering minority, until the Southern heart was “fired” to madness by the bombardment of Fort Sumter, But there is just such a minority in the South to-day; and it is as likely to clutch and misuse power in the future as in the past. We entreat The Inder, with all friends of Peace, to keep an eye on this cabal, and be prepared to counteract its machinations. THE REIGN OF TERROR IN TEN NESSEE., The following letter was sent to Gen. Schenck at Washington, and forwarded to us with permission to publish it. Wo have Gen. Schenck’s authority for saying that it is from a perfectly trustworthy and truthful wan, who is fully able to substantiate all he gays. It is such statements as these that justify the sending a Congressional Committee to Tennessee, to which The Post, two days ago, so heedlessly objected. Perseoution of the negro now at the South means hatred of Emancipation, and a de- termination to set the laws of the Union at defiance, just as the negro riots in New-York in the Summer of ‘63 meant aid to the Southern rebellion. Federal troops were used in the one case, and Federal authori- ty must bo resorted to in the other to sustain the laws of the United States. The following letter is only ad- ditional evidence of that necessity: Mears, Tonn., May 4, 1866, My DEAR GENERAL: I bave intended writing you ever since 1 came to Tennessee, but I have been expecting from day to day that the worst would come, and 1 could tell you all iu one jetter. I trust the worst has come, This city has been, during the last few days, the scene of most inhuman and devilish out. 1hges. A difficulty occurred between a fow colored soldiers and the police of the city. It has grown into a most horrible riot. Every colored ohurch and sohool house had been burned. Thousands of dollars worth of property has been destroyed, more than forty colored people have been shot fu cold blood, women have been burned in their houses, women have been shot down walking the street. The most fiendish outrages have been committed. Every man who wore a blue uniform or a black skin was in danger of his life, and he is to-day. Ihave no doubt there isa secret organization backing up and sustaining this thing. It has been necessary to send all the lady teachers North to prevent their being murdered. The United States flag is no protection unless encirelgd by United States bayonets. Something must be done for this country; loyal men, black and white, must be protected. This country is no more fit to be admitted into the Union than Jeff. Davis is to be President. It behooves the Radical wen iu Congress to stand by the right, and when it becomes necessary, the men who fought the last war are ready to fight aaother, I have seen eleven fires blazing at one time; I have seen women shot down; I have seen men murdered, and all this for po other reason and for no other offense than that they were joyal. If there is any power in the Government let the loyal men of the land be protected. One of our officers has been shot down in the streets of Grenada, Miss, for no other reason than that he wore a blue uniform and was doing duty as an officer of the Government. Throughout this whole country such a spirit exists that a man cannot oall his life his own and proclaim that he isa Union man, What I say, General, I will back up with incontestible proof, and will faraish the affidavits to establish every asser- tion, I hope that this mockery will bs ended—sending officers of Government lato this cduntry to Protect the people whom you have set free, without the power to enforce a $300 judgment. All rests with the men who constitute the majority of Congress. Such men as you need no backingup, and to those men who do, 1 have only to say that they can count ou the men who Jrougit the country out of the last Rebellion. They will stand y them, lot come what may. EQUALIZING RBOUNTIES, The Massachusetts Senate has rejected a bill fo the equalization of bounties in that State, and hasr likewise rejected a motion to reconsider. The schewe was pushed in Massachusétts by precisely the same arguments which are urged for the Congressional bill. In the House the measure was carried by the votes of members who, under the act, would be entitled to re- ceive bounties, the Bpeaker receiving their votes upon the entry of a memorandum in the journal whereby each representative released his vlaim. How these gentlemen could, by this or any other means, renounce their strong personal bias in favor of the act, does not appear. Iu the Senate the final vote was 13 to 21, and we trust members of Congress will bear in mind that it is a much harder thing for a State legislator to resist the personal in- fluences from his constituents in favor of a measure by which they are to profit, than itis for a Represent- ative in the House. And gince it is certain that the bill is to be carried through Congress—if carried at all —by help of a factitious popular pressure, we hope the successful resistance to a similar pressure in Mas- sachusetts will prove an encouragement to such men in Washington as do not sincerely approve this claim- agents’ and bounty-brokers’ conspiracy for the en- largement of the public debt. We believe evidence in any quantity could be had to prove that the soldiers do not demand this alms from the public treasury. Here is one letter, toa Boston paper, out of a dosen in the same strain that have lately been published: No Boyntr WANTED.—I can remember that in 1061 there il RL from the prom dnty. gh T bave beén y than three years in the servic, the foeliog has not yet ont; and although I do not see it taken into accoun by the antlemen of the State House in their discussions upon the unty bill, I wish to remind some of them that it does still exist, and to ask them if they cannot give us the credit of duiug our duty without asking for pay that was never expected. What is a hundred dollars in comparison with the satisfaction of not being a bounty man I do not wish to exchange my claims to the gratitude of the country for a Jew dollars. It ought to be re. membered that all the patriots did not stay at home. Who asks for this pay now? I do wot hear the best men vA they want it. It is all over now, there is work enough to do, aud we don't want to be bought as some were. Prova County, —That seems to us a very manly letter, and most creditable to the writer. We have confidence enough in the unselfish patriotism that carried us through the war to believe that Plymouth County” speaks the true sentiments of the majority of the rank and file of the Union armies. We never did credit the assertions of our enemies at home and abroad that the National forces were recruited for love of money wore than for love of country, and we beg the soldiers whose valor saved the Republic not to discredit it or themselves by encouraging or permitting a sordid motive to be s¢’ plausibly imputed te them as it may be if they go begging for bounties from Congress or from State Legislatures. DEBT -PAYING. In Mr. Gladstone's recent speech upon the English budget, we find many suggestions that an American may read with profit, It is very pleasant to find our- selves constantly paraded before the nations by the first orators in the world as the prize boy at school, even if wo do remember not many sessions since when wo wore the one wicked boy among wicked boys, child of many hopes and prayers and oppor- tunities, going to the bad irretrievably, and wasting the inheritance of a prince among swine and goat- herds. We have now the sublime preéminence of haviug the largest debt in the world, with the excep- tion of England's; and, when we come to look at our interest tables, and reckon up the cost of the debt, even larger than England. For a man to be poor is not a rare attainment. To be poor with a million of dollars of debt, brings renown in Wall-st. Accord- ing to Mr. Gladstone, there seems to ba a spirit of emulation among nations as to which of them will reach the latter eminence first. During the last twenty years particularly, the European nations have managed to incur a debt of about $7,500,000,000. The English debt has generally been considered one of the few existing types of eternity. It is the one thing on this earth which seams to have had no be- ginning, and promises to have no end. The debt now is §3,094,545,000—more than $2,000,000 less than in January, 1354, a period procading the Crimean War. This shows that in twelve years England has repaired the losses of the Russian war, and advanced anew toward economy. To the Russell Ministry belongs the rare credit ot disavowing English traditions, and regarding the National debt as a responsibility which may be ter- minated, and not as a law of nature, to the world with- out end. England is now in the possession of peculiar sources of wealth, and if she can escape the standing vice of borrowing, which Mr. Gladstone assures us is “startliug;” if, above all things, she escapes the tendency to assume debt, which has become a mania among European countries, there is no reason why she may not arrange for the payment of her entire debt. Her rulers have abandoned the policy of Walpole and Pitt, and no longer give millions to Leip the cause of every forlorn king and kaiser who feels that his crown is the chief concern of the world, If Eu- ropean powers fight, they must pay their bills. Hano. ver is no longer a burden to the English crown. Pal. merston is dead, and with Lim all of the vigor” which expended itself in armament,’and fruitless exhi bitions of strength. Rather than write Mr. Seward a civil latter on the Trent question, spend ten millions of dollars in getting ready for a war which it was known would never take place. England no longer claims to wear the champion belt of the world. Like the most of these brawny heroes, John Ball has retired and set up a tavern. If nations want a bottle-holder or a ref- eree, he is a rare old Boniface who will sea fair play. But his own bruises must be healed and his own bills paid, and his tavern is open to all the world, with entertainment abundant for man and beast. While the debt of England has inoreased greatly in the last twenty years, her commerce has trebled. During the last twenty-Yive years it has increased, until now—thanks, in a measure, to Liverpool pirates and Raphael Semmes—it is larger than that of Frauce and America combined. The cause of this is said to be the possession of mineral treasures, especially coal. England can mirfe coal cheaper than any other na- tion, aud she controls the industry and, consequently, the capital of the world. America has thirty-seven times the amount of coal in England, and, in a hund- red years, according to Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Mill, the English supply will end. With that event, the monopoly of coal passes to America. Suppose coal is to fail,” says Mr. Gladstone, and to carry away this proéminence of cheap production of ours across the Atlantic, what will happen? There will be a decline—a decline of rents, profits, and wages. There will be precisely a reverse of what we have seen for the last twenty years in the increase of rents, profits, and wages. When rents, profits, and wages decline, what will the owners of them do? The owners of wages—those who receive wages—finding wages are higher across the Atlantic, will emigrate. Owners of movable property will find a wider and more profitable field for its application, and will send their capital abroad. What will the owners of rents do? It appears to me they cannot emigrate. TheySnay emigrate personally, but that upon which they depend mnnot emigrate. At that period, when reats, wages, and profits decline, the charge on the National debt will remain a permanent mortgage on the lands and durable property of the country.” Therefore, acoerd- ing tqthis logic, while England retains almost a mo- nopoly of coal, while her commerce is larger than any two other nations on the earth, while a!l the world is pouring revenue into her exchequer, let her hasten to pay off this debt, and no longer keep it as a burden upon posterity. As for our own country, let us imitate England, or, rather, let us set our old mother an example. Already we are meoting our war taxes, and paying as we go. While the great Continental Powers are arming to make war upon problems and’ purposelbss quarrels, we are endeavoring to Mshand our armies, and do not spend war-bills in times of peace. Don Quixote's soul never yearnell for higher impulses, never beat higher with the emotion of manly deeds, than when he found himself on the verge of a precipice. Do not our South American and Mexican and Fenian schemes become as those of Don Quixote? Tpere is nothing more tempting than war. There is nothing so insidious as financial difficulty. [It approaches with smiles and caresses. Borrowing for the first time appears open to no objection. There is mothing in it alarming or menacing. It is like the cub of the lioness, spoken of by ome of the Greek poets, which was rashly taken by the hunter into his house, When st was young, itwas reared with his dogs and placed among his children, It was mild in temper, and fawned upon every one. But when it grew up and felt its strength, it deluged the house with gore.” With this stern and beautiful figure of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, we dismiss the subject, entreating those statesmen in Congress who would have us cling to war-interests and war- finances, to legal tenders, paper money, and tho exhilaration of a false, inflated currency, to be wise now when they may, lest when this system of debt grows to its fullness, its strength shall be our misery and desolation. A correspondent in Connecticut writes us to say that there must be some mistake in the return of gold watches for taxation which we copied recently from another paper. No doubt of it. The statement on it “tad {i as patriotism, or that some of as enfs. 200 was absurd, though claiming fo be oficial, v seo that in Boston alone the returns quie equal thoss of the statement referred to for the whole y any We print elsewhere a similar statment from singls Revenue District in Brooklyn, ABOUT TIGERS, A newspan 2r claiming to he ical an fore, A to calm A a, 82 she ance=recontly pronounced the sentiment that the traitors can no amin 0! sts. who imagtne no figure is perfact unless it involves the ultimate extent of good or bad aud no adjoctive expressive that is not in the su. perlative degree. ‘We might call them Chinese lo- gicians, much given to clamor and torture—in strife, noisy and weak, fin triumph, vindictive and crual. If we admit the doctrine that we can only deal with the South as with tigers, our statesmanship becomes easy. MM. Fouquiér Tinville and Bertrand Barére have given us historical illustrations of the effect of the Tiger Policy, and left an illustrious example. We, however, have an advantage which those Fronoh- men did not possess. Their tigers represented a strong party, with armies a¢ their back, and capable of war. Our tigers have gone through war and been defeated, and can make no resistance. Tiger-huuting in the jungles, when wo merely know the presence of tigers, without any knowledge of their number, locality, tamper, capacity of resistance, is said tobe very ex- citing and not fres from danger. Tigar-hunting ia the Zoological Gardens, with the animals duly caged, is another business. If we consider the traitors” as 30 many tigers, and the South a vast jungle, our duty is plain. ‘We may place a price on the head of every traitor to be duly delivered at Washington, after the fashion of pioneer legislators, who paid for the head of a wolf or the snout of a hear, or the tail of a fox. There might be a Tiger Bureau at Washington, to whom the business might be profitably intrusted with an eye to economy, due care being taken that wo traitor's head should be paid for twice. In the inter- ests of humanity it might be decreed that no young tigors should be taken, say under the age of fifteen. Their imperfect nature might be trained into habits of peace and loyalty, Beyond fifteen it will be cheaper to knock the tigers in the head and end the business. We might prolong this dissertation and give many reasons for destroying tigers, with a suggestion ox two in the way of starvation, or the distribution of poisoned victuals in generally frequented places, about Memphis and Charleston for instance, or in She vi cinity of Mr. Wise's residencs, or usar the offices of the Richmond papers. Wemight slow the absurdity, the horror of this argument, by following it to its logi- cal conclusion, and describing our valiant editor for instance, a3 the Gordon Cumming of reconstruction, riding through the Southern jungle on an elephant, and doing deeds of destruction far exceeding the ex- ploits of celebrated hunters, or even the revolutionary baptisms of Lyons. But of what avail’ To us this Tiger Policy is fall of danger and madness. Those who wish to strengthen the bands of the men who ave laboring by day and by night to resonstruct the Uniow upon the basis of Slaveholding Supremacy, to hinds and defeat tha elevation of the uegro, Lave ouly te act upon the theory that the Southern people are tigers and to be shot to death as wild beasts. The cause of truth is never served by exirayagance. En, glish freedom was thrown back a quarter of a century by the extravagance of the Agagwiting Puritans. France yielded her freedom to Bomapa™e betauss of the mischief of Robespierre, Every argument we make for blood, every demand for cruelty. only strengthens those who wish to rebuild the new Union on the old foundations, and preserves in the corner-3tone the spirit of Slavery. Victor Hugo, in Napoleon le Pets,” shows the ateps by which the present Emperor was enabled te monat the throne of France, in defiance of the real will of France. The people were taught to beliove that their property was in danger of destruction by Socialists, by tho descendants of the Jacobins, by a class which wero to society like Swift's Yalroos. “I am President—make me Emperor,” said the little Napolaon. “You shall vota. All who vote yea shall have me—a Bonaparte. All who vote nay must fall into the hands of Yahoos, leaving France chaos.” The men who hest served Napoleon in Lis intrigue against liberty were those tiger statesmen who clamored for a now Noyade, and declared that liborty could only be strong in the agony of its eucmisa. The men who best serve the slave interest now are those who wish a Tiger Policy in America. The heart of this nation does not yearn for blood. We can say of our war that it was fought with mercy, and fol- lowed by magnanimity, and that no man has been slaiz for his part as an armed Rebel soldier. The poo- ple of the South were defeated; their defeat ended bloodshed. The question is not now whether they shall be treated as tigers, but whether a part of thom, aloya! aud deserving part, shall be permitted {0 exercise the privileges for which they fonght. We wish to harm no Southern man. We do uot want a boll of Lis cot- ton or a stalk of his sugar-cane. We desire for him peace and prosperity, and trust that God will keep him from evil ‘ways, especially from the sin of ro bellion. We desire pardon for all, peace for all, the Nationa! flag for all, THE BALLOT POR ALL. They ara men like oursalves, and we propose to treat them ae men. We make no distinction of color or rica. Te the loyalist, white or black, we offer the hand of justices and fraternity—te the Rebel, white or black, the hand of =y aug fraternity. Our reconstruction can only be perfect when it means justice, mercy, peace, uni- versal suffrage and universal amnesty. Those whe foam about tigers and yearn for blood are not of the true party, and should not speak for it. ce ee A Mr. Jenckes of R. I. has again reportad a bill to establish a National system of procedura in cases of Bankruptey, which will come up in order next Tues- day, when wo trust it will be considered and passed. The subject has been abundantly debated, and Mr. Jenckes las evinced great patience aud assiduity as well as ability in revising aud adapting the moasure to the exacting demands of the House. If a majority cannot now Lo Jhad, it will be simply aud nakedly because more than halt the Mouse is avorss to passing any bill at all.

We pray every liberal, humane Representative to be punctually on hand next Tuesday. Possibly it did not oceur to the President that his arguments for keeping Colorado out of the Union wera equally good for keeping South Carolina out, though we do not propose to olaim thom as any essential part of our argument. The President say» that, ‘under the existing Territorial Governmant, all the rights, privileges aud interests of the oitisens are protected and secured; the qualified voters choose their own Legislature and local officers, &c.” In tho proposed sovereign State Governments of South Caro- lina, we have, on the contrary, grave doubts whether the rights of citizens would be protected and sooured. “Tt is not satisfactorily established,” says the Presi- dent, “that a majority of the citizens of Colorado do- sire or are prepared for an exchange of a Territorial for a State Government.” So, too, with a majority of the loyal citizens of the Rebel States on the ques- tion of giving Congressional power to our redefiant: enemies.

NEW-YORE DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1866. aa SCRANTON-LLY..Ou Wadaseday, May 15, at the PL y's tha vay an d to the exclusion of hundreds of thousands of Black joyalists. Colorado is not oppressed by being denied two Senators, and one Congressman; why, then, «hould South Carolina groan? We are not quite cer- ain that Colorado is strictly out of the Uniox, though «Le has no voice in Congress; but we propose a ques- tion to those who are foud of discussing the phenome- “Does Colorado belong tothe Union, of State rights: (‘pion or not? If she does not belong tot to what does she belong?” Lo The rum-seeking roughs who went from this City to floboken last Sunday in quest of toddy behaved so outrageously there that the citizens protest against their return next Sunday; and the Measrs. Stevenses talk of stopping their ferry-boats on that day. Where- npon, The Daily News says: The Er-'s¢ law is provoking a great deal of mis hief: and, like all snmptuary enactments, will probably soon yield to the sccumaulating evidences of its unpopularity and inefliciency “If the Sunday travel into Westchester could be interdicted, ‘hare is reason to s0ppose thatthe Commissioners and some of tue framers of the bill would cease to be 80 earnest in their endeavors to drive the Sunday liquor traffic out of this city. —Wa have no doubt that the people of Westchester County, like those of New-Jersey, will seek legal protection from the Sunday influx of tippling rowdies to which ther are now subjected. But they will seek this by shutting their own grog-shops on that day— not by forcing ours open: Yet The News says: «Unless the metropolis be shut out on Sundays from all in. tereourse with the adjoining country, and, like a bel .zuerad ity, condemned to insulation, the natural craving of itsin habitants for their accustomed holiday iodulgeuce w. find a veut somewhere he News will not tell its readers that this Sunday Liquor Traflic is forbidden by the laws in Jersey and in Westchester County as well as here, just as are the rioting and knecking down which prevailed at Ho- hoken last Sunday. The premises of The News require t to insist that our Police shall let the roughs knock jown and drag out with impunity here, and so pre- ‘lude their going over to Jersey and playing their fan- (astic tricks there. Why not speak right out? Mr. Gladstone's speech on the English debt re. umes the argument of Mr. J. 8. Mill on the coal opic, and refreshes it with another set of figures, <howing that, at the annual rate of English coal con- qumption, the total sum in 104 years from this time would reach a quantity nearly twice as great as the yractical resources of the coal mines, which are in- Juded within 4,000 feet below the surface. Long be- fore the exhaustion of coal is approached, its prices will tend upward, and as coal is now the great and -eady resource which gives to English manufacture an important part of its cheapness, it follows that English manufacture and labor must sufter, and that pe latter will migrate to cheaper and larger coal fields, for better wages—say to America—which has a «oal surface thirty-seven times that of England. Any uew discovery or invention of fuel would doubtless be jae of which other countries could take equal advant- age with Great Britain, The scientific position which Mr. Gladstone takes for his financial argument is for- tified by the opinions of Sir John Herschel, Sir Rod- rick Murchison, Sir William Armstrong, and by Messrs. Hulmes Jevons, who have written books apon the subject, the conclusion of which Mr. Stuart Mill deems unanswerable, Semmes—down in Dixie they call him Admiral” Sammes—mwas elected Judge of Probate of Mobile County, Ala., on the 7th inst., by a unanimous vote. [ho other candidate withdrew ‘in consideration of the gallant services of Semmes during the war.” Was there no other vacant office in Alabama that this rover of the seas must be made guardian of widows and orphaus, and set to adjudidate questions of prop- erty under dead men’s wills? ‘We suppose Le will look for precedents to the decisions of that Court which held its sessions in the cabin of the Alabama by the light of burning ships on the horizon, and awarded to the judge who delivered its angnst decrees the proceeds of its condemnations. Who would not be willing to die for the sake of having his estate al- wiinistered on by Judge Semmes? VIRGINIA. rr etl I'he Unconditional Union State Convention Speeches by the Hen, J. M. Botts and the Eon, H. Maynard. WASHINGTON, Thursday, May 17, 1866. The Tnion State Convention of Virginia met at Alex- andria to-day. There was a large attendance of delegates, among thew John Minor Botts, who said he did not know whether he was a member or not; and, if he was, he was pne seli-constituted, for he came from’ Culpepper, where there wore Union men, but they had held no meeting. He did not know it to be a fact, but Le believed that be was the only man in the county who was not ashamed of being geen gt Union meeting. He had come in, however, to make their number one more, and would leave it to the Convention to say whether he should be considered a member or not. The cuairman stated that it was necessary for some one to voucu for Mr. Botts, as he krew that he bad faithfully served in MceDaniel’s negro jail; he would indorse him, especiully as he had understood that he had performed his daties faithfully. Mr. McKenzie said there was no trouble in regard to Br. Botts, but it was other persons he was inquiring after. A delegate from Frederich County stated that the Union voters tere numbered about 630, and that recently about 150 Northern men had settled in the county. Mr. Clements of Portsmouth spoke of the late election in that a when the disloyal persons forced the judges of electio®s to close the Uuioni=*s conld poll about 450 votes against 300 votes by the Rebels, The Committee on Permanent Organization reported the following list of officers: Hon.

The Rev, Theodore Clapp, native of Massachusetts, and for many years a Unitarian preacher in New-Orleans, died here this afternoon. The Journal publishes an elaborate opinion of Judge Bland Ballard, United States District Court, in relation to Isham Henderson, concinding that the Executive and Legislative Departments of the Government having de- clared that the Rebellion isended, the court cannot assumo that it continues; that this opinion furnishes no solution of the political status of the inhabitants of the States lately in rebellion; that this is a question which must be answered elsewhere; that the Court was bound to order the arrest of Gen. Davis for the apparent contempt offered the Court, and that he, having resisted the order of arrest, is criminally responsible, and that his case will bo pre- sented to the Grand Jury. tl ——e FIRES, T— Four Thousand Acres of Woodland Burned Over Near Sandwich, Mass. —Loss $30,000.

By the arrival at this port of the steamer Talisman, from Kingston on the 7th iust., we have late advices from Jamaica. Col. Hobbs of the 6th Regiment, now stationed in Jamaica, has committed suicide under very melancholy circumstances. This officer commanded the white troops employed against the negroes during the late disturbances in that island, and by his orders several people, seized on suspicion of being rebels, were hanged and shot without trial. ‘This fact, and the flippant tone of his dispatches detailing his operations against the blacks, provoked severe comments from a portion of the English press, and led to his being ordered to proceed home without delay and report himself at the Horse Guards. Shortly after his examination before the Royal Commission, preparatory to bis departure, symptoms of insanity be to manifest themselves, which led to his being invalided. He left Jamaica on one of the Royal Mail Company's steamers for Southampton, on the 21st ult, in charge of an officer and two soldiers, who were appointed to watch over him during the voyage; and on the following day, while the other passengers were at breakfast, he went on deck and, knocking down the soldier attending him, jumped overboard and was drowned. It was Col. Hobbs who caused seven negroes to be hanged, because, as he stated in his dispatch, his men found it inconvenient to rd them as prisoners, and who ordered the negro Wellington to be bound to a tree and shot at by a fir hg purty at 400 yards distance till he was dead. Col. Hobls was the son of a British officer who fought at Waterloo, and was himself engaged in the Crimea during the latter part of the Russian war, He was J ‘with them their church organization with the 21st Fusileers in their attack on the Redan, and bad three medals awarded him. He was one of the youngest, if not the youngest, Colonel in command of a British regiment, being only 37 at the time of his death. 1 gence had been rec i utell ived in Gowernment had it in contemplation to reesll Governor Es e, and to appoint Sir Henry Storks his puecessor Since the departure for England of his colleagues in the Royal Cowmission Sir Henry Las been busily engaged in ttinge matters a litte square, He has addressed a cireu- fo y the Magistrates thronghout the island. e dling upon them either to attend faithfully to the discharge of their omissions as Justices of the Peace. Be has been also in frequent conference with influential men of all parties in the island, with v hom he has fre ly exchanged Views #5 to what is re quired for the future good government of the Colony; takirg note of all suggestions pointing to the practical good of the country. He makes himself accessible to all, without any distinction as to class or color, and has already carnod the confidence of the blacks, ‘There was a good deal of speculation as to the probable character of the report prepared by the Royal Commis- sion ns to the origin, causes and uj pression of the dis- turbances; but the Commission had been so reticent and cautious that no one could say positively on which gide their verdiet would be given. The anxiety to know that verdict 18 intense, but as the matter will be kept a secret till the report 15 presented to Parliament, the Colt onists no not expect to get intelligence of the result of the inquiry before the early part of Jue. Mrs. Gordon, the widow of George William Gordon, left for England on the 21st April in one of the Royal Mail Company's steamers, the sawe vessel in which the unfortunate Col. Hobbs was a passenger. She zoes to the Mother Country on the invitation of the auti-Slavery Sos ciety and the Jamaica Committee.

WILLIAM A. WHITEIEAD. Mr. Wm, A, Whitchead, Corresponding Secretary, read an interesting gketeh of the history of the seitlement and first years of the City of Newark, He recited briefly the early history of the settlement of the region around Manhattan Bay, and the country lying east ward; the social and ecclesiasfic difforencos and the troubles arising therefrom in Conneoticut and the region about Narra- gansett Bay, and the emigration that was induced by. the sectarian discussions that disturbed the peace of the New- England Colonies, after several years of negotiations with the Dutch authorities governing that cou]. poncession” was obtained which led to the removal of many of the settlers from the county east of the Hudson, to new territory South and West, where larger civil and religions liberty could be erjoyed than was compatible with the views of the ruling sects in New England. Out of this emigration grew the settlements of East Jersey; the most conspicuous of these was in the Passaic, the infant of which, Newark, with its 80,000 inhabitants, its vast manufactaring interests, its churches, soctety ant wealty, is the full-grown man.

A fact #0 siguibeant deserves further consideration, if we would fully understand the great providential movement of the Seven. tesnth Century, to which we owe our existence ns a nation. The Pligrims landed at Plymouth 129 years after the first dis- covery, during vaich period all the efforts of royal princes, all the combined energies of powerful corporations, and the bodest saventurers, stimulated by glowing imaginations of den treasures, wero made in vain. It would seem, there. bre. that our conatry was providentislly designed to dat its geoupation to something higher thar the reed of corpo- rations or the ambition of kings, LL 11s wn ldenial w the tied togeiler Queen Elizabeth, under assumed olaims, bud given the nawe of Virginia to the entire northern continent, tut the whole result of ber four laborious attempts to establish colonies and trade wus a few hundred winds of tobacco from the adventurous courtier fvieteh, who tang't her the queenly accomplishment of smoking a pipe’ Not oue subject did she have at her death in these wild dominious, whica she had been destined to the honor of perpetuating ber haughty virginity. All similar attempts at colonization, by other pow- ers, us signally failed. Meantime, the lust for new dominion and quest of treasure found an awple field avd rioted in a fatal surfeit on the Southern Continent. Now when we behold a feobio company of exes, with no visible means of power, ac complishing au end which royalty und patronage, the love of dominion nud of gold had so loug essayed in vais, and founding a colony which becoties a great empire, wo scarcely need ask to see the coral patuway of tae sea luid bare, and its waves a wall on the right baud and on the left, and the crazed cluriot wheels of the oppressor floating in fragments upon the closing waves, 10 feel nod resize that higher than human was the power which piveided over the exodus of the Pilgrim ¥Fnthers 1 he sublime movement bas no parallel ia history since the bumble fishermen of Galilee first dethroned the gods of heatlon ism.

At the close of the regular ceremonies, Mr, W, H, Bergfels, Assistant-Saperinter dent of Freedmen, presented to Gov.

It bad been carefully concealed by the soldier who carried it, and after the surrender was secured by Capt. Buidoe of the tlst New-York Infantry. The flag was re- ceived by the Governor and delivered to Gen. Penrose, who Sonrtianded the brigade at the time the “guide” was cap: tured. THE PROCESSION. The Committee had given notice in the newspapers that gnould the weather prove stormy the parade will be post. poned until the 22d inst. and as the morning sky angured a stormy day, it wus determined to omit this part of the pro. gramme.

New BURGLAR-PROoP SApE ror THE NATIONAL STAT: BANK OF CAMDEN. —The National Bank, of Camden, has adopted the wise precaution of rendering its vaults doubly secure by ordering one of Marvin's celebrated Burglar-Proof Safes, of large size, and made in the best manver. Before its removal we had an opportunity of examining this splendid Safe at Messrs. Marvin Co's establishment, No, 721 Chest put-s., and were forcibly impressed with its superiority over other Safes in nse, In this opinion we seem to be sustained by a large number of public moneyed institutions and prominent private individuals who have recently been supplanting their oll Safes by the Marvin article. That tLe latter approximate more nearly to Fire and Burglar-proof perjection than any other 543s made, we have not the slightest doubt. The Safe here referred to is a magnificent specimen. The ordinary fire. proofs made by Marvin Co. are not ovly thoroughly fire- proof, but perfectly dry, the filling being of dry plaster, mized corroding the iron, This has been recently demonstrated by most satisfactory tests.

The condition of the road and the afluirs of the Company are considered very satisfactory. A recent letter from California says: “The introduction upon the Mariposa estate of the “Eureka gold saving machinery” is destined soon to effect a revolu- tion in the condition of that Svmpasy. Under the direction of Capt. Hall and Mr, Brumagem (brother of the former banker of tte Fremont estate), the affairs of the company are ussuniog a flattering aspect. The new mill is near'y completed, au will probably be in successful operation by the time this reaches yon. By this new process, four times the amoant of gold is now seved that could be obtaiped before from a given amount of the same rock. New and very valuable discoveries have been made on the Josephene Ledge and other places, and the last accounts reecived here from the mines state that more than $1,000,000 worth of gold-bearing quarte is pow iu sight aud ready for the new process. Mr. Bowen arrived here by the last steamer as a special gent of the company in New. York, to examine and report upon the condition of the estate, and has gone up to the Mariposa for that purpose. The estate, embracing nearly 50,000 acres of gold bearing territory, is in- calenlably rich,” and capable, under energetic direction, of vielding an ever-increasing barvest of the precious metal to its proprietors for generations to come, The success of the new process for separating gold will form a new era in gold miuing, and convert the dormant quartz gold of California into millions per annum of coin. The process consists in submitting finely palverized quartz to superheated steam in upright boilers, or retorts, which passes off in the form of gases all traces of the baser metals and the mineral oils which have thus far prevented the thorough separation of gold by amalgamation with mercury; after these impurities are expelled the whole mass of quartz is supplied with mercury, and subjected to a thorough mixture Ly steam, which causes the gold and mercury to combine, The mass next passes to a metallic table, and the mercury is separated from the quartz, The coin at its extreme lower end does not come in conlact with mercury sufficient to oxydize it. If this machinery proves equal in its working mills, and the experiments made upon a small scale, the extensive business of quartz mining will be changed, and mountains cf refuse tailings of former workings be converted into bullion, at larger profits than attended the early days of the California and Australian discoveries, The editor of Thompson's Bank-Note Reporter gays: During a period of 100 years, from 17%) to 1550, the average whole world, was certainly short of $40,000,000, It is fair to estimate that three-fourths of this passed into manufactured articles and the arts, leaving something less than ten millions of dollars per annum increase to the specie money of the world, After making a fair allowance for lost money and abrasion, the amount of precious metals that was added to the money of the world during the one hundred years, was probably not over §750,000,000. From 1=30 tothe present time, only 15 years, the product of the precious metals has been, on au average, $120,000,000, Allowing that fifty millions per annum have passed into manu- factured articles and the arts, it leaves an aggregate of hard wouey increase, in the 15 years, of more than &1,000,000,000, ‘I'he time occupied in transition from place to place and from country to country, bas been diminished more than one-half doriog the past fifty years. This diminishes the amount of WONCY Deoessary to carry on a busiuess, us it is so much the oftener repeated in its action, The science of Exchange and letters of credit has been brought to such practical perfection, that the real money is wanted for only occagional balances. The system of a secared paper currency, like the issnes of the Bank of Englund (based on its investment in cousols), nd our National Currency (based on Government bonds deposited with the U. 8, Treasurer), is a powerfal element in the aug: mentation or expansion of money, Ten dollars of this sc- cured money to only #1 of epecie, is easier and safer managed than were three to oue of the old State Bank Currency. Drawing our conclusions from these fucts, we say: the hard money of the world has doubled in 15 Jears; inventions and science have doubled its efficacy iu 50 years; double the amount of paper currency can be issued on a given amount of specie, The logical and mathematical deductions are, that prices of everything that money buys, eXeept interest-bearing obliga. tious, should be about quadruple the prices paid during the first hnif of this century, The conviction leit on our mind is that his country ean drift to a specie basis in three years witkoat eoutracting the cur- rency at all, and that, in the mean time, the largest half of our debt can be consolidated into a long five per cent stock, and that, during the succeeding five years, the balance, or at least all that watures, can be consolidated into a four per cent stock. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company has made a call of $50 per shure upon its scrip stock, pavable on or before August 1, but interegt at 7 per cent will be charged on all payments delayed beyond June 1.

Fremont obligates himself to tigish it within four years from the date of purchase. Neill Bros. Co. in their Cotton Circular make the following remarks: It is exceedingly AUfficalt to estimate the extent of land the war. There Las been, in every saction of the conutry, a mach greater efforts made to plant lirgely than was expected some mouths ago, and from our own observations, and those of correspondents iraveling in different parts of the country, we think that the average would equal more than half of ‘a former erop. In Alabaiua and Mississippi trioutary to Mobile, the extent of land planted would probably average two-thirds; in Tennessee nud North Alabama, in Arkansas and the Upper Red River gountry, rom ove-half to two-thirds; in Western Mississippi and Louisiaus, one half; in Georgia, Florida and South Carolina, less than one half, and in Aexas considerably wore tha ever before. Starting upon this basis. and making allowance for there belog a certala amonct of truth in the statements about defective seed, which reach us rom too may quarters to be entirely discarded, and making allowance also for the fact, which we cannot doubt, that between late Bpriog, overflow, and excessive raivs, considerable replanting was necessary, we siill come to the conclusion that with fa- vorable woatler bencefor ward a crop of 2@2} millions is gots market remains firm at 3°) 2 274¢. for Middlings; sales of 2,000 possible. Our this week are more on whole. The weather hod iwprovey, the Mississippi Jiver hod ceased to rise, the Red River had fallen somewhat, and plant. ers were hopeful of good crops, even on lands replanted after having been overflowed. From South Carolina, correspondents write hopefully. The negroes were continuing to work with industry, and although a great deficiency, in the extent of land under Cottow, com pared to old times, ie admitted, yet, what is planted promises, for se far, fairly. From Middle and Sonth-Western Georgia aud Florida we have some complaints of inferior seed. From Alabama, variable accounts; where the lands were overflowed or the seed is bad we find it ont by complaints at once; but oves 80 great an area of land under ultivation onr only wonder 1 that the complaints are so few, From Texas oor own house writes: From some sections we hear complaints of late Spring and damage by overflow, but as the weather is now most tavor- able these are animportant, and, as the laborers continue to work satisfactorily, the prospect seems fair fora crop beyond any ever before raised in Texas, ‘The most sanguine estimate the crop of the State at 400,000 bales. We think this extreme, but believe 250,000 to 200,000 quite possible.” From Upper Red River some planters complain of bad seed. They are replant. ing, however, and in many districts everything seemed cheer. Cotion growing beantifully” and freedmen working ing; well.
