MORE PRESIDENTIAL CLEMENCY. Special Treasury Agent Dexter of Mobile, who was under sentence of a military commission and fined $250,- v00, has been discharged by the President. NEW EXECUTIVE MANSION. It is in contemplation tobuild a new and costly executive mansion on the high grounds east of the Capitol, and turn the White House into a fire-proof building for the State Department. 1t was for that purpose leave was asked to- day to bring in a joint resolution directing the proper cowwittees to make a reconnoisance for a site. APPOINTMENT. Col. W. Penn Clarke of Iowa, late Paymaster United States Army, has been appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, Chief Clerk of that Department, and entered upon the discharge of the duties of the office, THE SERENADE. The long talked of serenade came off to-night, and was one of the heaviest farces ever played inthe National Cap- ito]. There were not over 800 or 1,000 people at the White House gathered to hear the President's speech. There was no enthusiasta and no cheering. The band played several times; when the President appeared cheers were called for, but not over 50 voices responded, and they broke down at the second cheerand then dropped the watter. The President did not speak loud enough for any one to hear him who was not within 50 feet of him. He concluded his brief speech, having only alluded to himself 20 times, aud gave out no new doctrines. The Presidont bad eoncluded and gone into the house some time before a number of persons were aware ho bad been out, and were clamoring for a speech. About 300 people went over to Secretary Seward's, who was not at home, but a few remarks were made by Frederick W. Seward, and then the crowd proceeded to Secretary McCulloch's, where they were reénforced by a number of Treasury clerks, who had filled up the sidewalk in front of his house, and were ready to cheer anything he might say, His speech was more virulent than any yet made here by the President or any member of Congress; and his threat thet the Union party must accept of the President's policy, or die, was received with silence, when he expected applause, and a Jond voice ex- claimed No, it won't.” Only momentarily disconcerted, be went on to assail Congress, but, at ite close, the crowd failed to give him three cheers, and the band went to Sec- retary Stanton's, where at least 1,000 persons were assem- bled, and listened patiently to a written speech read from his steps, and occasionally greeted him with a few scatter- ing cheers, The band then proceeded to Postmaster-Gen. Dennison's, who, without indorsing the President's policy, gave them a lecture upon the importance of harmonizing Congress and the President, which he thought could be yet done. About 300 persons were present, but there was 30 cheering. At 10:15 p. m. they dispersed, all impressed with the idea that serenadcs to officials were played out,” and that there is no life nor hope in my policy” with the Union party, not even in the office-holders here in Washington, and none iu the Cabinet, save Secretary McCulloch. 1 INTERNAL REVENUE receipts to-day, $403,424, TIN ORE FROM CALIFORNIA.

TREASURY CLERKS. The President to-day transmitted to the House a com- munication from the Secretary of the Treasury, in reply to a resolution calling for information in respect to clerks employed in that department. ‘The number of males is 1.566; females, 439, or a total of 2,005, of whom 547 served in the Union army, and several in the navy.

Mr. NoRTON called up the bill to authorize the Winona and St. Peters Railroad Company to construct a bridge across the Mississippi River, which was discussed till 1 o'clock. THE RECONSTRUCTION RESOLVES. Mr. HowaArD moved that the Senate proceed to the con- sideration of the Reconstruction resolutions recently passed by the House. Mr. SUMNER—The question, as I take it, is of proceed. ing to the consideration of that resolution. Of course that does not involve the merits of the question, and I shall not speak of them. TI know not that i shall be able to take any in the debate, but I cannot allow the res- olution to be taken up without expressing my individual opinion that it would be better if its consideration were Jortpozed still longer. I believe, Sir, that the country as gained much by the postponement that has already been had. On a former occasion I stated that we were able to have a better proposition at the end of April than we had at the end of March; and I believe now we shall be able to accept better propositions just as the woeks pro- ceed, and we shall be better prepared for this question next week than this week, and the week after better than pak. Here is a vast mass of testimony which has been town. It has been laid in driblets, if I may 80 express myself, before Congress end the country, Lever as a whole. It has never athered together Been analyzed. No conclusions have been drawn from that testimony, and yet, I take it, that that testi mony was brought together for some Jariese, doubtless to enlighten Congress and the country; and yet Congress is now asked to proceed without an opportunity of con- sidering that testimony in any mature form. I think, Sir, distinguished officers to-day, through the proper depart- ments, LETTER FROM SECRETARY HARLAN. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, Wasnixaroy, Wednesday, May 23, 1566. Sir: Several days since I received a note signed by you as President of the Nations! Union Club, informing me of their intention to serenade the President and his Cabinet offi- cers on an evening which you then named, and a note from the Secretary of this organization, announcing ite postponement on account of the character of the weather, I have to day received a third note, signed by the Corres. ponding Secretary, informing me tbat the serenade will be tendered this evening «t 3 o'clock. After tendering to you and the ¢Jub my thanks for including we in the number to be thus bonored. I regret to Lo compelled to add that my official en- gegements render it impracticable for me to be present. 7 his circumstance gives me less pein, as I am not conscious of having done anything which entitles we personally to the houor of such an ovation, aod if the proposed “call” in iptended, as the newspapers assert, to furnish the officials «onaected with the Executive Depart. ment of the Covernment am opportunity to anuounce their operations, on political subjects. Iam inclined to think it pardonable egotism for me to suppose my opinions fally Xuown to all who may consider them of sufficient consequence merit a passing notice, as I have frankly proclaimed them on ibe floor of the Senate and from the rostrum for ten con. secutive years next preceding tbe commencement of my ser- vice us Secretary of the Interior; and have not at any time wince, when occasion required if, failed to express my views with equal candor As my political aitiliations in the Jot have not been doubtful, 1do not intend that they shall be in the future. Ihave four times elected to a seat in the United States Senate by the Legisiature of Iowa as a re ntative of the Republican party; and as a member of that political nization 1 was sppointed to the office I now hold. To betray the confidence thus reposed in me, would he a manifestation of ingratitude so glariug- A Sishonorable, that Lem sure no intelligent member of your ization cxnecta 20 LL LTE Wash Dull, WW Wy ae. been persons whose misfortune it is that they were born with a Nor enn it he expected that 1 will do it is a mistake that we aro asked to proceed under such circumstances. I think, Sir, that delay for the arrange: ment of that testimony to the end that it may be presented in proper form for our consideration would be wisdom. I think, Sir, it would be the highest statesmanship. 1 think that after the consideration of that testimony we shall be better prepared to decide than we are now, not only of what we ought to do, but of what we can do. For in. gtance, here is a very considerable question which we shall be called upon to discuss as to the extent to which certain .rsons shall be excluded from the right of suffrage. 1 oubt not that the Senate is better prepare] to discuss that question this week than last wee und I am sure it will be better prepared to discuss it next week than now; and my reason is that the evidence on that subiect is daily accu. mulating. It 0 happened that I beard early last evering, very important testimony from a gentleman im whom 1 have every confidence, just from the South, in regard to public opinion there, especially among those who have recently been in rebellion, all tending to show the neces gity of some regulation or requirement on our part. say such evidence is constantly accumulating, and I wish that Congress may have the full benefit of such evidence, that what we do may be well done. The question is resented, Sir, whether we shall proceed on the principle of inclusion or of exclusion. The Senator from Nevada (Stewart) adopts the principle of inclusion without exclusion. There are others, Sir, disposed to adopt the principle of exclusion without inclusion. In other words, Sir, they would exclude certain Rebels but would not include loyal skin not colored like our own. For myself, it seems to me we should adopt something of both prin ciples; the principles of inclusion and the principles of ex- clusion. But donot think the Senate is, at this moment, go well informed in regard to the facts which pecessarily 1 o-oo 4 Ww vergd oO rwlamr Aen vw affairs in the insurgent States. carefully and solemnly with the assurance that we have before us all the testimony, all the facts, everything that can by any possibility shied any light upon it. Have we all that doubt it, Sir. But I content myself now with «imply entering my own individual caveat against what seems to me something like precipitation, with which this measure is sought to be pressed. Mr. FEssiNpEN said he did not know that ho should take any part in this discussion; but he begged leave to sav that he differed entirely from the honorable Senator from Massachusetts (Sumner) as to the propriety of pro- ceeding with it at the present time, The matter had been mder consideration very long, and if the Senator from Massachusetts had not’ informed himself on the kind of testimony which had been taken, it was his own fault be- cause not only had the testimony been published in the newspapers, but it had been published in’ numbers under the direction of the Senate, and laid upon the tables of Senators. He (Fessenden) agreed with Mr. Sumner in one thing, and that was, that much had been gained by the delay already had, at one time it was pushed very hard in all the newspapers to have speedy action, It was necessary, however, to take testimony, and the publication of that testimony has hod a most beneficial effect in informing the country and satisfying everybody. The matter had been better under stood in consequence of the course which had been adopted by the Committee from necessity, because it was nuable to come to a conclusion without this testimony. As to taking more testimony, as suggested by Mr, Sumner, the Cominittee felt that some time must be tized at which the testimony would close, otherwise it might eontinue till the next session. That time had been tized and the testi- mony had been closed. The Committee thought it had gone far enongh. It was now late in the session, The House had passed the resolution some two weeks ago. been delayed in the Senate longer than it would have been but for circumstances to whieh it was not worth while to allude. He (Fessenden) had thought it well, after the resolution had passed the House, that it should 1.¢ upon the table in order to give time to consider it, and that some day should be fixed for taking it np. ‘This had been done. He agreed that public opinion was very apt to change on this subject; but that was only a reason why the Senate should act according to its own best judgment. The probability was that Congress would adjourn between the first and the middle of July, and it was essential to proceed immediately to the consideration of the resolus tion. Mr. Scuxer seid he did not wish to be understood as making any formal opposition to proceeding with the measure. He had expressed an individual opinion which he felt very strongly, He eould not help it. He might be in error. It was probable he was in error. But he had Jest rmed his duty and in an bumble way had satistied simself simply by making this declaration. Mr. HENORICES wished to inquire of Mr. Sumner to what time he would propose to postpone the congideration of this question. He hoped the Senate would adjourn os stated by Mr. Fessenden, If Mr. Sumner wished a post- ponement for a short time he (Hendricks) would join him in seeking it. But he could not agree to a post ponement beyond the middle of June, Mr. SUMNER said he did not think the business of the Senate was in such a condition as to warrant the belief that it would adjourn before the latter part of July. He believed this great question of reconstruction ought to be reserved as the lust considerable subject of discussion be- fore the adjournment, He thought it might be taken u during the last half of June, something like a Ao from now. He believed that at that time the Renate would be better instructed on the general subject and Letter prepared to harmonize aud adopt a policy which would be the best for the eountry. After some remarks against postponement by Mr. Coxe. Nise, the joint resolution was taken up ood rend as it passed the House. Mr. HowaARD took the floor to explain the proposition in behalf of the Special Committee of Fifteen. He said he regretted that the honorable Senator from Maine (Mr, Fessenden), who was Chairman of the Committee of Fif- teen, was so unwell as to be unable to open the discussion of this grave and important matter. He was anxious that Mr. Fessenden should take the lead in the conduct of this discussion, and still entertained the hope that before the close of the debate the Senate would have the benefit of a full and ample statement from Mr. Fessenden of Lis views on this subject, For himself he could ouly promise to present to the Renate in a very suceinct way the views and the motives which influenced that Committee in so fur us he understood those views and motives in presenting the report which was now under consideration. The Joint resolution creating that Committee intrusted them with a very important inquiry—an inquiry involving a vast deal of attention and labor. They were instructed to inquire into the condition of the insurgent States, and authorized to report by bill or otherwise at their discretion. 1 believe i do not overstate the truth when say that no Committee of Congress has ever pro. ceeded with more fidelity and attention with a matter intrusted to them than has that Cowmittee, They have been assiduous in the discharge of this duty, They have instituted an inquiry so far as was practicable for them to doso into the pol tical and social condition of the insurgent States. lt is very true they have not visited any of the lo. calities of the South in order ta obtain information. Dut they have taken the testimony of very great number of witnesses who have been summoned by ihem to Washing ton, and who had some sequaintance with the condition of 1 think, Sir, it will be the judgment of the country in the end that the Committee, so far as the procuring of testimony upon this subjeet is concerned, has been not only industrious, but assiduous and impartial and entirely fair. 1 know that to guide has bosn their aim. 1 know that it has not been their purpose to present to Congress or the country in their report anything unfair or one-sided, anything of a party tendency. Our anxicty has been 10 ascertain the whole truth in its length and breadth, so far as the facili- ties given us would enable us todo so. One result, Sir, of this investigation has been, the resolution for the amend- ment of the Constitution of the United States now under consideration. After most mature deliberation and dis cussion, prolonged for weeks and even months, they came to the conclusion that it was nccessary, in order to restore peace aud quiet to the country and to impart again vigor and potency to the laws of the United States, and especi- ally to obtain something in the shape of security for the fature against a recurrence of the enormous evils under which the country has labored for the last four years, that the Constitution ought to be amended, and the project which they have now submitted is the result of their con- sideration upon that subject. The first section of the pro- posed amendment relates to the privileges and immunities of the citizens of the several States of the Union, and to the rights and privileges of all persous other than citizens under the laws of the United States, It declares that no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States; vor shall any State deprive any person of Life, libeity or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. It will be observed that this is a general prohibi- tion upon all the States, as such, from abridging the privi- Jeges and immunities of the citizens of the United States, That is its first clause, and I regard it as a very important clause indeed. It also prolubits each oue of the States from depriving any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or denying to any person within the jurisdiction of the States the equal protection of law, The first clause of this section relates to the privileges and immunities of the citizens of the United States, as such, and distinguished from all other persons who are not citizens of the United States, It is not, perhaps, very easy to define with accuracy what is meant by the expression citizen of the United States,” although that expression occurs twice in the Constitu- tion—ones in reference to the President of the United States, in which it is declared that none but a citizen of the United States shall be President of the United States; and, second, in reference to Senators, who are likewise ro- uired to be citizens of the United States. Undoubtedly, the expression is used in both these cases in the Constitu- tion in the same sense in which it is applied in the amendment now before the Senate. A citizen of the United States is, I believe, held to be a ron who was born within the limits of the United tates and subject to their laws on the adoption of the Constitution. The eitizens of each State were, in a quali fied sense at least, aliens to one another, for the reason that the several States, before that time, were regarded by each other at least as independent governments, each one possessing sovereign power to enable it to claim the right of naturalization, and undoubtedly each one of them pos- sessed for itself the right and power of naturalizing for- cigners, and each one also that had seen fit to exercise that branch of sovereign power, might have declared the citizons of every other State to be aliens, in reference to its own citizens, with a view to prevent such confusion and disorder. With a view to put the citizens of the several States upon an equality one with another, in reference to certain fundamental rights, a clanse was introduced into the Constitution, declaring that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to the rivileges and immunities of the citizens of the several States. The effect of this clause was to constitute ypse facto the citizens of each and every one of the States. And bow did they become citizens of the United States And Low did they become citizens of the several States By birth or naturalization They became such in virtue of ational law, or, rather, nataral law, which recognizes persons born within the jurisdiction of every country as joing citizens of that country, Sich persons are, there- fore, citizens of the United States who were born in the coustry, or who have since become such by naturaliza- tion; aud the Covstitution deeciires that they are entitled, as such, to all the privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States, They are entitled by these privileges and immunities, and have a right to assert them, and ask for their enforecment whenever they come from one State to another, It would be a curious question to solve—what are the privileges aud immunities of the citizens 1m each State of the several States do not propose to go into that question at present. It would be rather a barren discussion. ut it is certain that that clause was inserted in the Con- stitution for some good purpose; it certainly has in view some beneficial purposes to the citizens of the several States; or it would not have been inserted. Iam not aware that the Supreme Court of the Unjted States have undertaken to define either the nature or extent of those privileges and immunities thus guaranteed to the citizens of the several States. Indeed, if my recollection serves me, the Supreme Corrt on a certain occasion not many J. i The Senate would remember that It had lo to them, very modestly declined to go into a definition of these privileges and immunities, leaving the question arié- ing under that clause ot the Constitution to be discussed and adjudicated in proper form when they should Bappen to arse in the eourse of adjudication. But we gather something of what Plobabiy will be the opinion of the Judiciary in that very important question, by a reference to a case which wasdecided many ears ago in one of the Circuit Courts of the United Ytates y Judge Washington. 1 will trouble the Senate a little while by reading what that learned and excellent Judge says of these privileges and immunities of the citizens of the several States from the fourth Washington Circuit Court reports, page 330, Mr. Howard having read from the work geferred to then continued: Sach, then is the character of the privilege and immunities spoken of in the Constitation in the second section of the fourth article, I believe to these privileges and immunities may be added the per sonal right guaranteed by the first eight amend- ments of the United Stiates—such as freedom of speech aud of the press, the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition Government for a redress of grievances, a right pertaining to cach and all of the peo- ple; the right to keep and bear arms, the right to be exempt fiom the quarteiing of soldiers in a house without the consent of the owner, to be exempt from unreasonable searches, seizures, &e. Here is a mass of privileges and immunities and rights, some of them secured by the second section of the fourth article of the Constitution, which 1 Lave recited some of them secared by the amendinents to the Constitution. to which I have referred. And it isa fact worthy the attention of gentlemen, that the course of the decisions of our courts and the present doctrine is that all these privileges, and all these immunities, and ull these rights, thus guaranteed by the Constitution, are gocured to citizens of the United States, solely as citizens of the United States; and as parties in their courts they do not operate in the sii shtost degree as a restraint or prohibition upon the Statcs them- selves. States are not affected by these restrictions, and it has been held repeatedly that these restrictions con- tzined in the Constitution declaring that private property ghall not be taken for public use without just compengi- tion is not a restriction upon the State Legislature at all, and refers expressly to the legislation of Congress, Now there is no power in the Constitution to enforce any of these guaranties which I have mentioned. There is no power granted by the Constitution to Congress, and as such do not come within the sweeping clause in the Con- stitution authorizing Congre:s to pass all laws necessary and proper for carrying out the foregoing powers, und they extend simply to declarations of rights as a bill of rights in the Constitution, without power on the part of Congress to carry them out and give them effect, while at the same time the States are not restrained from violating the principles in their guaranties except by their own local laws, which may be altered from year to year, and almost from day to diy. The great object of the first section of this amendment is to restrain the power of the States, and to compel them at all times to respect these great fundamental guaranties which 1 have enumerated, How will it be done under the present amendment? As I have already remarked, they are not powers granted to Congress, and therefore it is necessary, if they are to be effectual and to be enforced, that additional powers should be given to Congress to sec to it that they are enforced. Now, is that done by the amendment proposed? It is done by the fifth section, which declares that Con- ess shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of the article. hore is a direct and aflirmative delegation of power to Congress to earry out and enforce these provisions and all these guar anties which 1 have wentioned—a power which does not exist in the Constitution of the United States, The first section of this amendment, while conferring the rights I have enumerated, does not confer any right to vote. The right of suffrage 1s not in law one of the privileges and immunities thus secured by the Copstitution. Tt has ul ways been regarded in this eountry as the result of posi tive local law. It has not been regarded as one of those fundamental rights lying at the foundation of our society and wiout which people cannot exist without being slaves or subjected to a despotism. Mr. Howard then pussed to the second seetion in re. gard to the basis of representation, If he could bave his own way, he said, if bis preference could be carried out, he should be in favor of securing suffrage to the coiorvd race, to some extent at least. Lf he could not obtain universal suffrage in the popular sense of that expression, Le shonld be in favor of qualiied suffiege for the negro race, but it was not a question here what will we do upon the subject; it was nota question which he (Mr. Howard) or hslf a dozen other Senators might prefer in respect to colored suffrage, It was not entirely a question what measure could be wg by the two House. The question was, what would he Legislatures of the various States do in the premises? what was likely to meet the sporobation of the various State Legislatures! This being the question he favored the proposition in regard to representation as likely to lead to negro gufliage at some future time, Concerning the 1 rd section relating to the disfranchisement of the late Rebels, Mr. Howard said he wasopposed to this clause in the Committee, and was opposcdio it pow. lle did believe, if adopted, it would do any good. It ee Hess Rebels from voiiug for their tures; an ald ele vei ber PY pT bh Gupt, 80 that the object of Code th is from voli for President would not be obtained, Rather than this, he preferred a clause probibiting all persons who bad par offices. Mr. Howard then explained the fourth aud GIL sections of the proposed amendment, At the conclusion of Mr. Howard's speech, Mr, Wane offered the following as a substitute for the pending prop- osition, AkTICLE—SECTION 1. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunitics of citis zens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive nny pore son of life, liberty, or property, without due process of lav, nor deny to any person within ite jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, Sec. 2. No elass of fpersons, a3 to the right of whom to suf frage any discrimivation shall be made, shall be included in (Le basis of representation, unless such discrimination bein virtue of impartial qualification founded on intelligence or property, or because of alienage, or fur participation in the Rebellion, or other crimes, Spe. 3. The public debt of the United States, including ull debts or obligations which bave been or may bereafier he 1m. curred in sup pressing rebellion or in carrying on war in defense of the Union, or for payment of bounties or pensions incide t to such war and provided by law shall be inviolate, but debts or obligations which have been or way hereafter be inearred in nid of insurrection or of war aginst the United States and claims for com pensation, loss of voluntary or servile labor, gal not be assured or paid by any State, nor by the United tates, Sic. 4. The Congress shall have power to confirm by ap propriate legislation the provisions of this article. Mr. WiLsox moved to strike out the words or prop erty” in the second seetion, Mr. WADE acecpted the amendment, and Lis ameud- ment as amended was ordered to be printed. Mr. WiLsoN offered the following as a substitute for the second clause of the House resolution: Representatives shall be proportioned among the several States nccording to their respective numbers; and if in any State the elective franchise 18 or shall be denied to any of its inhabitants being made citizens of the United States above the age of 21 years, for any cause except insurrection or rebellion agninst the United States, the basis of representation in each State shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of male cit zens so excluded shall bear to the whole number of wale citizens over the age of 21. This was ordered to be printed. Mr. WiLsoN submitted the following substitute for tho third section of the House resolution, which was ordercd to be printed, That any person who resigned or abandoned, or may resign or abandon any place under the United States Government, and has taken, or may take in rebellion against the Goy- ernment, shall be ineligible to any office under the United States or any State Government. g Mr. CLARK offered the following substitute for the third goction of the House resolution, which was ordered to be rinted: d No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or permitted to hold any office under the Government of the United States who, having previously taken an oath to support the Constitution thereof, have volontarily aided iu any insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or comfort thereto, Mr. HowArD suggested the striking out of the word yoluntarily” in the above, which was agreed to. Mr. CLARK proposed the following as a substitute for the fourth section of the House resolution: Debts incurred in aid of rebellion or war against the United States are iflegal and void, and cannot be enforced fo auy Court, and shall not be paid by the United States or any State, nor shall any compensation be made for the loss or ¢maucipa- tion of any slaves, The Senate at 4 o'clock went into Executive session, and soon after adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. SAN FRANCISCO LETTER CARRIERS. Mr. McRUER (Cal), from the Post-Office Committee, reported a joint resolution authorizing the Postwuuster- General to pay additional salary to letter-carriers iu San Francisco, which was read a third time and PUBLIC LANDS AT THE SOUTIL. On motion of Mr, JULIAN (Ind.) the Senate amendments to the House bill for the disposal of public lands for home- steads to actual settlers in the States of Alabama, Mis- Siasipp, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida were non-con- curred in, and Committee of Conference wus asked for. AGRICULTURAL REPORT. Mr. Ross (IIL) offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Committee on Printing to inquire into the expediency of having printed for distribution an extra number of copies of the Agricultural Report for 1864, equal 10 «Le number printed for 1863, EDUCATION IN DAKOTA. Mr. Wispos (Minn) offered a resolution, which wae adopted, directing the Secretary of the Interior ty inform the House how much mouey had been appropriated for the erection of school-houses,” and for the maiutenance of schools in the different agencies in the Dakota Indian Superintendency, together with the present condition of such agency, and manner in whieh the businesss of the Superintendenicy and agency has been conducted, MARRIAGES IN THR DISTRICT. Mr. PaTreRsoN (N. H.) introduced a bill for legalizing marriages in the District of Columbia, which was read twice and referred to the Committee for the District, FOREST TREES, On motion of Mr. Biowert (Cal) the Committee on Agriculture was discharged from the farther consideration for conducting ex- Tree Propagation and Land Company, and the bill was periments respecting forest tree culture, laid on *he table, THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAV. The House then resumed, during the morning hour, the consideration of the bill reported yesterday by Mr. ELIOT from the Select Committee, to ¢ontinue in force and to amend the act establishing the Freedmen's Bureau. The first section was amended on motion of Mr. Evi0T, by reducing the term of the continuance of the act to two years, instead of three years, Mr. CHASLER (N. Y.) desired to know wherein this bill differed from the Freedwen's Bureau bill, which the Presi- dent had vetoed, Mr. Error undertook to inform Mr. Chanler on that point, and to explain sections, Tho first sectivn, he said, simply continued the Bureau for t vo years, while the bill vetoed by the Presi- dent was indefiuite in its duration. He proposed, on the conclusion of his remarks, to move the previous question. Mr. LE BLOND (Ohio) said there were gentlemen on bis side of the House who desired to digenss the bill, and he therefore hoped it would not be pressed npon its passage pow. There were important features in it, which he thought ought to be an.erded, He was opposed entirely to tue theory and principle of the bil The reports of Gens. Steadman and Fullerton showed that the system as already inaugurated wus objectionable in every form, and if these reports were true, it was the duty of Congress to abolish the system at once and leave the colored people to make ‘heir own living in the same way as the poor whites of +*c country. The galleries of the House were crowded day fter day with stout, hearty, able bodied colored men, 1o, to all appearances, drew their rations from the Gover ment. The system wes a mis chievous one, and ought not tobe encouriged by Congress, While Mr. Le Blond was speaking, the morning hour expired, and the bill went over uniil to-morrow in the morning hour. THE TAX BILL. The House then went into Comittee of the Whole on the State of the Union, Mr. Dawes in the Chair, and re- gumed the consideration of the Tax Bill, commencing with the paragraph on bank issues. On motion of Mr. MorgriL (Vt. the paragraph was amended by adding the following: “And the returns required to be made by such provident ipstitutions and savings bavks after July, 18665, shall be made on the first Monday of Jur uary aad July of each year in such form and wanner as may be prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,” Mr. BLAINE (Me.) moved to amend by adding to it: And, provided further. that in leu of all other taxes im- posed on Nativnal bunks there shall hereafter be levied, col- lected and paid a tux of one half per ¢ent per annum on the average amount of to eir deposits, This gave riso to considerable debate, which was partici: pated in by Messrs, Blaine, Pike, Lynch, Kelley, Bout- well, Hooper, Hotchkiss, Racdill of Veunsgivauia and Morrill. Mr. RANDALL #9 spoke as to the necessity of revising the system of deposits in the National hanks, as the pres- ent system led to lumense losses to the Governient, Mr. MORRILL agreed 2s to the necessity of such revision, declaring that he was satistied that unless seme relief was given to the National banks they were in vil. He was willing to give tome relief, but Le wished that subjeet to come up in its proper place. The amendment was rejected, and no other material change was wade in the pa azraph. The amendment relating to the income tax provoked a good deal of discussion, Mr, PIKE having moved an amend- ment reénacting the present law, and Mr, SPAULDING Iov- ing an amendment to impose an additional duty of three per cent on the excess of iucoiues ove $0,000, Mr. Ross (kil) oliered an amenduent making the dis- criminative tax tem, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five per gent, Mr. MorrILL opposed the amendment, giving it as his m from the President in apswor ticipated in the Rebellion from holding Federal or State opinion that the tendency of such discrimination would be to repress enterprise and promote absenteeism. The debate was continued by Messrs, Spalding, Sloan, Paine, sud Hale in faver of the amendments, and by Mossrs. Morrill and Davisagainst them, Mr. PIKE (Me.) advocated letting the w Lole matter of the income-tax go over till the next Congress, leaving the law as it now stands, Mr. SPALDING (Ohio) withdrew bis amendment, and the amepdment of Mr. Ross was reje ted. The amendment offered by Mr. Pike was adopted. This leaves the law as it at present stauds, with a tax of five per cent, on incotnes up to five thousand dollars, and a tux of ten per cont on those over ve thousand dollars; the only difference being thatthe limit of the first six hund- red dollars ig ext nded to one thousand dollars, The vote cn it was 57 to 42, Mr. Axcoxa (Ia. offered an amendment to make the £1,000 limitation apply to the prescat year. Tne amendment was rejected. Among the deduetions to be aade in estimating incomes there were added, on motion of Mr. WiLsox (lowa), losses actually sustained during the ycar arising from fire, ship- wreck, or incurred in trade, and debts ascertained to be warthless, but excluding all estimated depreciation of volues, THE FREEDMEN.

Y.) presented the petition of George D. Hull and 51 others, citizens of Poughkeepsie, New- York, asking for protection against unjust State laws in reference to insurance, The House thei, at 4} o'clock, took a recess until7 o'clock this evening. The House reass-mbled at” 7:30 p. m., and having re- solved itself into Committee of the Whole, resumed the consideration of the clauses of the Tax bill regulating the tuX ou HICO0s. Mr. GARFIELD (Ohio) moved to amend the clanse regu- lating the manter of assessment by adding the following: Provided further, That the lists of incomes in the offices of the Assessor ad Collector shall be open to inspection by the public; but seitier the Assessor nor Collector shall furnish such lists, or any part thereof, for publication, nor permit the same to be cop od tor publication. Mr. Prick (Towa) opposed the amendment urging that the publicity of the tax list imposed a very salutary check upon the tendeney to make false returns. Several members proposed to modify the amendment by allowing the 1 t8 to be copied for publication, but the Committee rejected the moditieation, and the amendment of Mr. Gartield was then agreed to, Mr. BERGEN (N. Y.) moved to amend by inserting a pro- viso that no passport shall be issued from the State Depart- mert, o= by any United States Consul, unless the applicant for said pa sport shail produce the receipts showing that he has paid his income tax every year since 1862, Mr. BERGEN said that the object of this amendment was to cateh dodgers. [Laughter] Mr. MORRILL (Vt.) said that it would be impmacticable to carry such a resolution into effect, The amenduient was rejected, The discussion of the bill was continued at some length, and a large number of amendments of no general interest, and chiefly of a verbal character merely, were proposed aud acted upon, At 9:45 o'clock, having reached page 123 of the bill, the Comittee rose and the House adjourned.

That they have faithfully endeavored tv do so is still the general opinion, but every circumstance Law been eeainst them. The freqent recurrence of disasters affecting the assets of the old firm constantly affected the rey- utation of the new one; the notorious failnre of Overeid, Watson Co, the raikray contractors, operated injuriously from the Similarity of name; the leavy frand of Piato, Perez Co., the general break-up of the finunee companies, and the hourly expectation of u European war, were all calenlated to try them to the utmost. But there is no reason to doabt they would stél! bave worked throngh had it not been for the yer- sistent sales of their shares on spoeulition, AS s00n as tiesa operations had brought the quotation to a discount. the depex- itors began to take alarm, and at length the drain this morning became too sharp to be resisted.

The core of the finanee mania bas long ago been wrought,and the prices of the shares of these schemes have fallen to a point to leave, as fir as they are concerned, little more to dread; but it is now for those who represent the wealth and solidity of Loudon to decide whether their saga- city and resources are so fecole as ‘0 render it impossible for them to devise any means of stemming sn insane torrent that must not only affect tue wetropolis and all the great provineiai centers of our commerce, as well as our Indian, our celouial, and foreign markets, but lat once lead us to a suspension of public works throughout the Kingdom such as in every dist) set to throw thousands of peope out of employment, By united action a few days ba they might have averted the calamity of to-day, bit on vi sides there was perfect helyp- lessness. ‘Ihe time is now past for discussion or cognsel. The question of action in some way must be decided ia a tew hone, Ih is the instantaneous transition from a state of wild expan- sion of credit to a total stoppage of credit, that bas brought ws to the present pass. The introduction of credit in a new, #irfo and legitimate way can alone suppiy the remedy. Withous the slightest avoidable aelay, the leading institotions and firms who see the jeoparoy of the moments form a tation to the Chancelor of the Exchequer, with a request thas he should authorize the Bavk of Elgiand to issue interest. bearing post-notes in the shape of ordinary bank post-Diile, either at the customary 7 days or 30 days, or for any other period that might be considered belier, to any extent they ma deem necessary and prudent upon uo questionable security, If this or some analogous request be acceded to, there will be reason 10 expect an immediate subsider ce of all unnecessar danger. 1f, on the other Land, nothing is done, and are left to trample each other down, the Government will tind before long that the commercial and revenue returns of 1866 will be of character very different from those which bave enabled them in each succeeding Budget for so many years t to congratulate themselves sna the nation on the easiness of theirt and the unbroken course of our material pros- perity, SUSPENSION OF THR BANK ACT, In the House of Commons, on Friday, May 11, Mr. Disraeli asked whether there was any truth io the repors prevalent out of doors that the Government had authorised a relaxation in the provisious of the Baik Cobarter Act, with re- spect to the issue of notes, Mr. Bazley was also understood to ask if the Government to relax these piovisivus, they Lad et done 80.

The character of the heroine is the only oue which is drawn with elaboration, the other personages being little more than vivid sketches, but Miss Marjoribanks herself is such an adwirable work of art that we desire nothing be- youd her. Many of the situations are indescribably In- diorous, and the manner in which they are arranged, and in which seemingly hopeless perplexities are unraveied by the most natural exp dients, shows a sharp insight into human nature aud a remarkable power of discrimination between characters. vein of five, delicate Lumor, which doesnot often excite a hearty laugh, but pervades the story like a delicious fla vor. There is a good example of it in the first chapter, where the heroine, coming home fiom school after the death of her mother, suffers a defeat on the threshhold of hier long career of victory: Inthe course of her rapid journey she had already settled upon everything that had to be done; or rather, to speak more truly, had rehearsed eversthing according to the habit already acquired by a gnick mind, a good deal occupied with itself. First she meant to tall into her father's arn orgetting, with that singular facility for overlooking the peeuliaricies of others whioh belongs to such a character, that Dr. Marjoribavks wus vory little given to embracing, and that a hasty kiss on her forehead was the warmest caress he had ever given his daugh- ter—and then to rush up to the chamber of death and weep over dear mamma. And to think 1 was not there to soothe hier last moments!” Lucilla said to herself, with a sob, aud with faelings sufficiently real in their wav, Afier this, the de. voted daughter made up ber mind to come down stairs again, uo as death, but self controlled, and devote herself to papa »erhaps, if creat emotion shon'd make him tearless, as such oases had been known, Miss Marioribanks would steal into his arms nnawares, and €o sarprise him ioto weeping, When M 15s Marjoribauks reached howe her mother had been dead for twenty-four hours; and ber father was not at the door to receive her as she had expected, but by the bedside of a patient in extremity. who could not consent to go out of the world without the Doctor. “Anis was a sad reversal of her in- tentions, but Lucilla was not the woman to be disconcerted, She carried out the second part of her programme without either interference or sympat!y, except from Mrs. Marjori- banks's maid, who had some hopes from the moment of her ar rival. “I can't abear to think as I'm to be partod from you wl), miss.” sobbed the faithful attendant. “YT've lost the best mis-us 08 ever was, and 1 shouldn't wind going after her. Whenever avy one gets a good friend in this worla, theyre the first to be took away,” said the weeping handmaiden, who naturally ssw her own loss in the most vivid hight, “Ah, Ellis.” cried Miss Ma jor.bauks reposing her sorrow inthe arms of this anxious attendant, “we must tiy to be a cowfort to poor papa!” With this end %uoilla made herself very troublesome to the sober-minded Doctor during those few dim days before the faint and daily 1ossening shadow of poor Mrs. Marjoribanks was removed sltoge: ner from the house. When that sad cere- mony had taken place, and the Doctor returned, serious enough, heaven knows, to the great house, where the faded helpicas woman, who Lad notwitlstandir gz been his love and his bride in otuer days, lay ne longer on the familiar sofa, the orisis arrived which Miss Marjoribanks had rehearsed so often, but after quite a different fashion, The widower was toarless, indeed, but not from excess of emotion. On the con- trary, painful heaviness possessed him when Le became aware of how little real sorrow was in his mind, and how small an actaal loss was this loss of his wife, which bulked before the world as an event of just as much mugnitade as the loss, for example, which peor Mr, Lake, the drawiig-masier, was at the same moment suffering. These thoaghts were heavy enongh—perhaps even more over. whelming than that grief which develops love to its lighest point of intensity. But such were not precisely the kind of re- floctions which could be solaced by paternal atfendrisiement over a weeping and devoted danghter. It was May, snd th weather was warm for the season; but Lucilla had caused the fire to be lighted in the large gloowy library where Dr. Mar-* joribanks always seat in the evenings, with the idea that it would be “a comfort” to bim; aud, for the same reason, she bad ordered tea to be served there, instead of the dinner, for whioh her father, as he imagined, could bave little appetite. Whenthe Doctor went in to Lis favorite seclusion, tired and heated and sad—for even on the day of his wife's funeral the favorite doctor of Carlingford bad patients to think of—the very heaviness of his thoughts gave warmth to his indigra- tion. Ile liad longed for tle quiet and the coolvess and the solitude of his library, apart from everybody; and when Le found it radiant with firelight, tea set on the table, and Luoilia eryiug by the fire, in her new erape, the effect upon a temper by no means perfect way be lwagined. The unfortuuste man threw both the windows wide open aud rang tbe bell violently, and give instant orders for the removal of the unnecessary fire and the tea-service. ‘Let me know when dinner is ready,” bho said in a voice like thunder, *‘and if Miss Marjoribanks wants a fire let it be lighted in the drawing-room.” Lucilla was so much taken by suivrise b this sudden overthrow of her programme, that she Abmitied us a girl of much less spirit wight have done, and suffered herself and Ler fire and her tea-tlings to be dismissed vp stairs, where she wept still more at sight of ber dear mamua’s sofa, and where Ellis came to mingle her tears with those of ser young mistress, aud to beg dear Mizs Lucilla, for the.sake of her precious ‘elth and dear pape, to be persuaded to take some tea. On the whole, master stood lessened in the eyes of all the househo'd by his ability to eat his dinner, and his resentment ot having his habitudes disturbed. Them men would eat and drin if we was all in our graves,” said the indignant cook, who indeed had a real grievance; and the outraged sen- timeut of the kitchen was avenged by a bad and hasty dinner, which the Doctor, though geuerally very particular,” swal- lowed without remark. About an hour afterward he went up stairs to the drawing room, where Miss Murjoribanks was Wuitiof for bit, much less at ease than she had expected to be. Though he gave a little sigh at the sight of his wife's sola, he did not hesitate to sit down upon it, and even to draw it a lit- tle out of its position, which, as Lucilla described afterward, was like a knife going into her heart. Though, indeed, she had herself dec: dod already, in the intervals of Ler tears, that the drawing room furniture had got very faded aud shabby, and that it would be very expedient to have it renewed for the now reign of youth end energy which was ebout to com- menoe, “1 hope you have had something to eat, Lucilla,” he said; “don’t get 1uto that foolish habit of fiying to tea as 4 man flies to a dram. It's amore incocent stimulant, but it's the same kind of intestion. I am pot so much against a fire, it Las always a kind of cheertul look.” “Ob, papa,” cried his daughter, with a flood of indignant are “you can't suppose I wanl au) ihivg to look cheerful this dreadful day.’ «1 aw far from blaming von, my dear,” said the Doctor; it is natural you should cry. Iam sorry I did not write for my sister to come, who would have taken care of you: but I dis- like strangers in the honse at such a time. However, I hope, Lucilla, you will soon feel yourself able to return to school; ocoupation is always the best remedy, and you will have your triends and companions’ “Papal” cried Miss Marjoribanks, and then she summoned courage, and rushed up to biw, and threw herself and her clouds of crape on the carpet at his side (and it may here be mentioned that Lucilla bad seized the opportunity to bave her mourning made long, which bad been the desire of her heart, y mamma and governess for at least a year). Papal” she exclaimed with fervor, raising to him her tear-stained face, and ciasping her fair plump hands, “ob, don't send me away Iwas only a silly girl the other day, but this hos made me WOInAN. Though can never, never hope to take deur mamma's piace, and be—all—that she was to you, still Ifeol I can be a comfort to you if you will let me. You shall not sce me ory auy more,” ciled Lucilla with energy, rubbing away her tears. ‘I will never give way to my feelings. 1 will ask for nO COWpAnIoNE—nor—nor anyiling As for pleasure, that is ali over, Ob. pups, you shall never see me regret auyibiug, or wish for anything. I will give up everyiling in the world to be a comfort to you!” This address. which was utterly unexpected, drove Dr. Mar- foribauks to despair. He said, Got up, Lucilla;” but the de- voted daughter knew better than to get up. Sne hid her face in ker hands, and rested her hands upon her mother’s sofa, where the Doctor was sitting; and the sobs of that emotion whiok she meant to control bevceforward, echoed through the room, It is only for this once—I can—cannot help it,” she eried. ‘When her father found that he con'd neither soothe her nor succeed in raising her, he got up himself, which was the only thing left to ham, and began to walk about the room wish hasty v Her mother, too, bad possessed this dangerous faculty of tears; and it was not wonderful if the sober-minded Doce tor, roused for the first time to consider bis little girl as a ureature of individual character, should recognize, with a thrill of dismay, the appearance of the same qualities whiob had wearied bis life out, and brought kis youthful affec. tions to ar untimely end. Lucilla was, it is trae, os different from ber mother es Summer from Winter; but Dr. Marjori- banks bad no weans of knowing that his daughter was only doing her dat by him in bis widowhood, according to a pro- pate of fillal devotion resolved upon, in accordance with best models, some days before. Accordingly, when her sobs had ceased, her father returned and raised ber np vot unkindly, and placed her in the chair In doing so, the Doctor put his finger by instinct upon Lu. eilla's pulse, which was sufficiently calm aod well-regulated to- reassure the most anxious parest. And then a furtive mo- mentary smile gleawed for a single instant round the corners oh Both good of to ifict If f t is very you to propose sacrificing yourself for me,” he said; “and if you would sacrifice your excitement in the meantime, aud listen to me quietly, it would really be sometaing—but you are only fifteen Lucilla, and I have no wish to take you from school Just now; wait till I have done.

It answers to some oases, but I t would answer with me.” And then there was a pauses, in which Lucilla wept and (tified her tears in hor handkerchief, with a warmer flood of vexation and disappoiutment than even Ler natural grief bad produced, Of courss, papa, if I can't be any comfort—I— wv baok to school,” she sobbed, with a touch of anllen. gens whiok did not escans tha Dastar's aes How she is finally All through the bock there runs a lowed her uegus with a sense, not only of defeat, but of disap- pointment and mortification which was very unpleasant. To 20 back again and be an ordinary school-girl, after the pomp of woe in which she had come away, was natarally a painful thought; she who bad ordered her mourning to he made long, and contemplated new furniture in the drawing-roow, and ex pected to be mistress of Ler father’s house, not to speak of the still dearer piivilege of being a comfort to him; and now, after all, her active wind was to be condemned over again to verbs and chromatic scales, thong she felt within herself capacitica £0 much more extended, Miss Marjoribanks did not by guy weans learn by this defeat to take the characters of the other persona in her little gramyg into consideration, when she rehegragd hor pet Scénés heres ter—for that is a knowlgdge 1 Mlowly acquire ~but she was wise enopgh he Ww whin sistance was futile; and like most peopie df Ively Imagination, ste had a power of submitting to circamstances when it be- came impossible to change thew. Thus she consented to post: fou ber reign, if not wiki a good grace, yet still without fool sh resistance, aud retired with the full honors of war. She bad already re-arranged all the details, and settled vpon all the means possible of Prepazing herself for what she called the charge of the establishment when her final emancipation took place, before she returned to school, Papa thoyght me too young, "she said, when she reached Mount aE “thouch it was dreadful to come away and leave Lim alone with only the servants; but, dear Miss Martho, you wii let me learn a 1 abont political economy and things, to help me mange everything; for now that dear mamma is goue, there is no: body but me to be a comfort to pipa.” And by this means Miss Marjoribanks managed to infloence ho excellont woman who believed in Friends in Council,” aud to direct the future tenor of ber own education; while, at least, in that one moment of opportunity, she had-achieved long dresses, which was a visible wark of w cwanhood, and a step which could not be retruced. Lucilla Ma:sjoribanks is certainly not a very amiable per- son; but then she is wonderfully wise, and does nobody harm, except when the exigencies of her social campaigus compel her to trample upon the feelings and vauity of other people, end that she does with as little remorse as an army marches over a ficld of corn. But we may de- pend upon it that she will always repay her wounded vice tins by somo act of real kindness. We enjoy her tri- umphs very much as her father did, who, with his genuine Scotch respeet for every kind of conspicuous talent, re- garded her with a feeling that was half amusement and half affectionate admiration. And many of us, no doubt, will share a little of that tender sentiment which lurked in the old doator's heart when he bade her good-night forthe last time, and his hand lingered on her shoulder witha mild caress, which, though it was not much, was a good deal for him. Re ea GARDEN FLOWERS: HOW TO CULTIVATE THEM. A TreAT 138 ON THE Curtoas oF HARDY ORNAMINTAL TREES, SHRUBS, ANNTALS, JIERBACEOUS AND HE/DING PLINTS. By Edward Sprague Rand, jr., author of Flowers for the Parlor sud Gar- den.” 8ve., pp. sod. Boston: Tilton Co. Tho above title gives but an imperfect indication of the value of this sweet volume, which is dressed by the publish. ers in the same artistic style as the rest of the series of similar works which they are now publishing. The author modest- ly says “he can lay butlittle claim to orkzinality.” Wethink Solomon expressed the same idea, yet Lis works have been read with as high satisfaction as though he had never said, “There is nothing new under the sun.” 1f Mr. Rand book is not original in its scparate parts, itis us a whole, and extremely interesting and valuable it is too, as a book of reference and instruction to every carth-worker and fant grower. The subjects are alphabetically arranged, and every plant mentioned is described in the briefost pos- sible manner, giving its history, size, season, enlture, color of flowers, botanical and common name, and order to which each class belongs. It will be a great convenience to many adults as well as youths to be able to find instant. ly the botanical name of any plant which they have heretofore known only by some local and often ontiandish name: for instance, “Jack in the Pulpit,” “Wild Avum,” or “Indian Turnip.” This is Arisaema triphyllum, of the order ARACEZ, a well-known medicinal wild plant, native of this country. But if spoken of in Europe under either of its true common names, who woull know what was meant? Garden Vegetables,” by Fearing Purr, jr., published by Tilton Co., isa selection from “Field and Garden Vegetales,” heretofore noticed, of such things as are more particularly applicable to garden than to field cul- ture. We think the selection must have been somewhat difficult, as we find in this volume many things just es appropriete for field es garden culture: for insta ce, ruta- bagasrearrots, beets, beans, cabbages, corn, cucumbers, to- matoos, melons, onions, potatoes, pumpkins, ete. As all tho things mentioned in this book are in the larger vol- ume. it will not bo necessary for those who have that to purchase this. For gardening purposes only, this, being the smaller and cheeper volume, will be preferable.

NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF SLAVERY IN MASSACHU. SETTS. By Grorom H. Mooxk. Librarian of the N. w-Vork Historical Society, sud Corresponding Meu ber of the Massachu- setts Historical Society. Bvo. pp. 256. D. Appicton Co. Although, as Mr, Moore says at the outset of Lis work, there is nothing in this history to comfort pro-Slavery men anywhere, it cannot be denied that it shows the early records of the Puritan eouuuonwealth to have been far moro deeply stained with injustice than even such careful students as Mr. Bancroft seem to have imagined. In his minute tracing of the laws and customs of Slavery in Massachusetts Mr. Moore shows that human bondage be- san in that colony about the time of the Pequod war—a fow years after the Puritan settlcicent end that it was recognized on the statutes as early as 1641, being expressly sanctioned in the celebrated “Code of Fundamentals, or Body of Liberties,” the first coliection of Massachuseits laws—a& fact which has been strangely overlooked by the shest historians and jurists. This code entities Massachu- g-tts to the bad eminence of preceding all the other colonies in such legislation. Our author coutroverts the statement of Mr. Sumuer in his speech in the Senate in 1854, and of Mr. Palfrey in his History, that no person was ever bern a slave on the soil of Mussachusetts, and quotes numerous instances to prove that the children of slaves, prior to the Constitution of 1780, followed the con- dition of the mother. He examines scveral points of colonial history bearing upon his subject, and, in the light of the new evidenee which he has collected, exhibits them under an aspect quite different from that which they have hitherto worn, His work is the product of extraordinary diligence and acuteness in research, combined with great candor and literary skill, Its mechanical execution is too beautiful to be passed over without special praise, and would do credit to the best English publishers, tf The Clerks’ and Conveyancers’ Assistant,” by Benja. win Vaughan Abbott and Austin Abbott, just published by Baker, Voorkis Co., is a valuable collection of forms of conveyancing, contracts and legal proceedings, for tho nse of lawyers, business-men and public officers. In its 700 large papers it contains over 1,300 blank forms, with a brief statement of the leading rules of law relative to the preparation of legal instruments of various descriptions; end the matter is so conveniently arranged and so care- fully indexed, that no one need be at a moment's loss to find the precise form suited to his particular needs. The work has the advantage over all previous compilations in being adapted to the present state of the law. The stat- utes of New York, being regarded as the reprosentative system of American law, are taken as the basis; but wher- ever the rules of other States are different, the discrepancy is carefully indicated; so that the work is adapted to gen- eral use in all parts of the Union, er Mackenzie's Ten Thousand Receipts,” (T. Elwood Zell, Philadelphis), is a small part of the title of a bulky book, with nearly 500 pages of fine type in double columns, containing an immense number of practical receipts and a great deal of other information respecting the useful and domestic arts, agriculture, medicine, manufactures, &c., not forgetting the Rinderpest and Trichine. The present revised edition has been in large measure rewritten and greatly enlarged.

“Songs of the Noon and Night,” by M. Elva Wood (D. Appleton Co.), are apparently the productions of a young ludy with 8 good deal of poetic feeling and some facility of expression. Their faults are those which we naturally ex- pect from youth, and the songs give promise of better things after the singer has enjoyed more experience. a te Guida a Booka, Received, Ji ing the War.

Jon Bradburn, LITERARY ITEMS, er The question of the authenticity of the collection of letters of Marie Antoinette, published last year by M. Hruolstein, still seems far from being settied, The Allgemeine Zeitung eharges M. Feaillet de Conches, the gentleman from whem M. Hunolstein purchased the manuscript letters, with having forged not ovly these documeots, but also some pre. tanded letters of Racine's, which have receaily been brought to light. Having an official position at the Court of Vienna, M. de Conches was allowed the privilege of removing manu. scripts from the Imperial Library for the purpose of studying them at Lome, The German journal alleges thai wen these bundles of papers wore returned blank leaves were found to have been almtracted from them, and the inference is that it was upon these leaves the forged letters were written, M. Feuillet de Conches, however, contradicts these charges in the most emphatic manver: he knew nothing of the Marie An- toinatie letters uutil they were pubkshed; he Les had nothing to do with the Racine lettors; the story of the abstraction of the blank leaves is a pure invention; he never consulted any documents of the eighteenth century; and finally the docum-nts bave not been mutilated. Meanwhile scholars no less competent than M. Louis Blane and M. Sainte Beuve have declared their conviction that the letters of Mario Antoinette are rot gennine, In 1216 there came to Paris an old Russian general with a young aud agreeable wife. They fitted up a hotel in the Rue St. Dominique, and there the lady was for many years the centor of one of those brilliant social circles which are never formed except in the French capital. Madame Swet- chine’s salon was the resort of what may be cailod the re. ligious party in the Parisian intellectual world, Montalem- bert. do Fallonx, Lacordaire, de Maistre, de Broglie, and Alexis de Tocqueville, were among its most constant frequent. ers. A life of the fasciaating woman who exercised so power ful an influence for many years over theso and other dls guished persons, and whose private character was not lesa re- markable than ber public career, is about to be published by Mr. James Miller of this city, with selections from her literary remains, translated by an American lady.

Our city and vicinity were visited yesterday after. poon by the most destructive storm that we remember to have occurred in 30 years, ‘Ihe morning opened bright, the sun shone clearly, and the air was as balmy as-that of June. The general remark was bow lovely the day. About 3 p. wm. black clouds began to obscure the southern borizon, and soon the storm burst upon us, ‘The clouds appeared to sweep along over the southern portion of the city from west to east, and by the time they reached Irondequoit they had nt their force, There was rain, wind, hail and Sphiatog. ‘he areas of the storm was probably five miles square, and on not more than half of this there was much hail visible. Though the storm lasted only 20 minutes the wischiel done was immense and can on'y be estimated, The damage is greatest to the nursery interests. The young budded stock was cut down by the huge basil stones—some as large as he's eggs—without mercy, while the extensive glass houses were left without a pane, and some of them without wsshes even, It is probable that $100,000 would not cover the damage to nursery and green house property in) this vieioity. The destruction of glass wus so general that the article can. not be replaced in this market. The storm not only destroyed glass, but shutters and blinds oftentimes sweepicg through wellings and making them wholly untenable. Fortuuately we have no loss of life to record, though many persons were injured. Animals were benten and braised, and some of the smaller ones were slain, Birds were cut down from the trees with the foliage, and were seen lying about dead in every direction, Chickens and geese were killed by the hail, and eate and rabbits fell before the discharges of icy sleet from the clonds. The south portion of the roof of the center tower of St. Mary's Hospital was lifted from its fastenings aud tumbled into the street. Large stones, loosened by the timbers, crushed through the flooring. A portion of the roof of the county jail was broken through by falling chimneys. St. Mary's and Immaculate Conception (Roman Catholie,) $i. Peter's (Presbyterian) und the Alexander-st. (Methodist) church were badly damaged by window glass be ing broken, The loss by broken glass in these churches alone amount to several hundred dollars, The windows of the University were broken to the extent of Every honse and building situated in a strip of land abont tavo miles in width, commencing at St. Mary's tlospital, on the west side of the river, in the Eighth Ward, continning thence across the river in o sonth-easterly direction across the whole of the Seventh and Twelfch Wards, and portions of the Fourth, Fit), Sixth, Tenth and Fourteenth Wards, suffered more or lens loss of gliss. Vegetation suffered greatly, Limbs an inch and even more in diameter were cut off us if done with a koife, the young fruit stripped from the trees. and early vegetables cut down and destroved. In many places hail lay on the ground three inches iu depth. The towns of Greece, Gates, Brighton, Irondequoit and Pittsford suffered immensely, The roof of the shoe shop at the Penitentiary was entirely taken off, and lodged in a field 20 rods from the building. Several vessels were obliged to put into Charlotte for safety. Some of them had considerable canvas carried away, Eiwanger Barry's five grounds near Mount Hope received muck of the shock of the storw, and the stock was badly cut to gives. Young budded trees, trees of one aud two years old, owers, greeen-houses, all were cut down and nearly de- stroyed. HE. Hooker Co,. Mr. Doardwan and Wm. 8. Lite and others of the Brighton norsers men suffered largely, The Sibley greeu-houses, conducted by Mr. Seelye, on Main. st. were preity much destroyed, and the loss is heavy, The loss of uursery stoek is so great that it must affect the value of such property for a year or wore to come, 8s dininish- tng the supply. The fine private conservatories on East-ave, were left with out glass. Tue extensive glass wanufacturing works of Woodworth Co., on Plymoutb-ave., were jreutly damaged, but'we have no estimate of ithe loss sustained there, A Mrs Williams, residing in the Twelfth rd, was caught by thegwind while walking on the sidewalk neir Ler residence, and thrown down with sufficient violence to break an arm. A top buggy, in which a boy was riding in South-ave., was overturned and the boy severely injured, There were several funerals on the way to the cemeteries as the commencement of the storm, aud horses were frightened and ran away, in many instances iojoring the occupants of the vehicles sho} were drawing. Many narrow escapes from d are reported, A cur-driver was knocked wenseless by the hailstones, and Lis team staried to rou away in fright, but were checked by the application of the brakes. In oue instance a litile girl had most of her clothing torn from her bod~ Hy the storm, and her head and face were so iu. Jured as tu ed freely. LAW INTELLIGENCE, el UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT—MAY 23 —Before Judge NELSON, A COTTON CASR. Alexander Denistou agt. Simon Draper. ls There are four or five cases which were riginally brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New-York, to re cover a large number of bales of cotton, valued in ail at $400, 000 received by the defendunt as cotton agent under the laws of the United States, in relation to captured and abandoned property in the insurrectionary States, The piaintitls issued process of replevin to the Sheriff, and he thereupon took s8ion of the cotton in question. The defendant, through Mr. Courtuey, United States Dlst- rict Attorney, acting in bebalf of the Government, took pro- ceedings to remove the actions to the United States Circuit Court uuder the act of 1863 known as the Force Act,” and also under the act of March 3, 1863, and obtained a stay of roceedings in the Circuit Court upon the plaintiffs and the sheriff. ‘Lhe plaintiffs sow move that the Circuit Court deter- mine that such proeeedis for removal were inoperative und void. aud that the action be deemed still pending in the State Court, Argument on the motion still on.

Burrill objected to the trial takin Whea the names of third parties were a RR fugs were fuvariably conducted in private, Mrs, Oats’s name hed been mentioned in the complaint, and it was due to hes that the evidence should not be made public. Mr. James argued that if the parties cliarged were innocert n public trial should be sought rather than avoided by them. His client had been traduced and acensed in affidavits of being a spiritualist, which almost amounted to a libel, on udge PBarnard—I should think it a libel if T was called e, Mr. James further argued that the defendant's case of character of Mrs, Oats was new, since they bad not pr by oath or otherwise, or by putting in an answer to the com- plant denying the cha matter which, as a man of onor, he wa: hound to do, if she were innocent, From w bad transpire ir was evident that all the defendant soughl was to deprive his wife of the fair and reasoueble allowanos adequate to hus income, Atrer some farther discussion, the matter was adjourned to Fritavet 10a m, Messrs.

Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune. CUARLESTON, 8. C., May 16, 1898, Something of a sensation has been produced in our usu. ally quiet city by the recent arrivals of those Governmond officials, Gens, Steadman and Fullerton, The event was duly chronicled by our city papers, and our citizens aif appear anxious to give them a cordial welcome and assure them of confidence in them, If they do not see the faire est side of the Bureau here, they will, at least, of the “sunny South,” that willnot fail justat this juncture to be radiant with her blandest smiles of loyalty. When the Bureau Department for this section shall have all the con. tents of its drawers examined by the sharp eyes these dignitaries, we cannot vouch for the develop. wents of every bundle they may urroli; but we are sure that Gen. Scott, who is the acting Commission hers, wil court the most rigid serutiny, and cheerfully hand oves the keys with the pleasure which every honest man may justiy feel under an examination of this kind. Steadman and Fullerton are now absent from the city, making their investigations in regard to the state of upon the islands near this locality. If the good most obe viously accomplished by the Bureau in protecting the rights of the people, and in supplying the wants of the destitute, could be spread before the public in its true light, we should have no fears iu regard to the verdict of tiie people, notwithstanding the cases that might be.dee tected of incompetency or unfaithfulness on the part of gome who a in Government employ. But where men have a ease to make out they are expected to use the material best suited to their purpose. This paper, now published in this city, is in remarkably good favor with the Southern press. it Las been coms mended by 7'he Charleston News, Richmond Examiner, and kindred sheets. Those familiar with The Leader fof a fow weeks past, will be ready to concede that it richly merits all that has been said inits favor frum these so snd much more of the same sort. When a papel 5 in the interests of the loyal colored people this section is found so changed and det as to be fawning at the foct of those who were recently in rebellion against the Government, they must be stfaaguly ungratetul not to ive, at least, the cheap return of their worthless applause. toad The Leader has recently represented colored pee here as ninnies and puppets worked at the pleasure of others ad vising them to court the favor of their former masters, denouncing those who are sustained, as preachers teachers, by the liberality of Northern frien As wight be supposed, the colored people are indignant. A meet of the leading citizens was held on Monday evening of present week to express their indignation, and arrangi for the starting of another Nou thatshonld fairl their interests ard principles, and not be found thro mud upon loyal men from the last ditch of the d Confederacy. Among the colored people here are fo many worthy eitizens of manly integrity snd intelligonos, who are never to be sold into the service of traitors eithes North or South. 1t is the general feeling here that we are making slow progress in the diffienlt work of reconstruction. To be neither out of the Union nor in is a state of painful suse pense, that reminds one of the most delightful sensations enced here in working out the great problem of Se. expe ow Fy This suspicion of Southern Jovaity to wep ok Southern honor, when backed by their highest professions of love for the Union and reverenee for the Governmens seems too insulting to be patiently endured by citizens of such aristocratic blood. All they ask now is to be simply trusted with place and power in the Government of country, and the privilege of WALA their own afm but their past record stands sligh the discredit thelr professions, while their tience to manage the freedmen aud the Yankees in their own way clearly res veal the fuct that they would manage thew now Just 48 they were managed during the Confederacy if the the same chance to accomplish their pleasure. are stubborn things, and speak for themselves, and their guage here is too distinctly uttered to be misund notwithstanding the great effort that is now making te have all things appear favorable for the purpose of gma. ing the lost power and influence of the South. A case has just occurred here which illustrates Southern feeling as now being encouraged aud developed by the present system of reconstruction. The Rev. T. W. Le the Presiding Elder of the Charleston district of the Caroling Mission Confurence of the M. E. Church, recon went to Barnwell District, near Midway Station, to at a quarterly meeting, He preached on Sunday to a quiet, pb congregation of some five hundred ns iu the open air. Those present were mostly freedmen, Ho die coursed from the text, **Stand’fast in the faith, quit you like men.” He exhorted them to cherish Christian Sra and hopes, and to seek the development of a manly Christe ian character, by politeness, industry and int we that by patient toil ‘and careful economy, they would be able to purchase land, make themselves comfortable homes, establish schools aud build churches. We are told by person present on the occasion that not a word said by the reverend gentleman which any canis Southern man could regard as out of character. the conelnsion of the sermon, Mr. Lowis administered the ordinance of baptism to 84 persons, and the sacrament te some 200 members of the church. The congregation thea quietly dispersed. As Mr. Lewis went to the station to take the cars the pext morning for Charleston he noticed near by a motleys looking crowd of about 20 wen, who by their dress and appearance be judged to be returned Confederate soldier, and several of them had revolvers hanging from leathers belts buckled around their waists, As there was no depot building Mr. Lewis took his position under the shade of tree near by, and awaited the coming of the train, Soom two men from the compery approached Mr. Lewis, whom Le afterward learned were known as W. Gilmore Simms, jr. and Daniel Kowe. As they Simms abe ruptly esked, ‘Are you the d—d Yankee preachor who harangued the niggers here yesterday replies, “1 am winister of the gospel, and preached in the vicinity yesterday.” 8, says, demand your authority.” L. re- lies, What antiority do you wish? Will that of Gens. Sickles or Deven®nswer 77° 8. replies, D—n Sickles and Devens and the whole Yankee nest. I have fought them four years, and want to fight them four years more.” L. replies, We ought to appeal to law to have our grievances rodressed if we have any.” *8. said we will make snd exe- cute our own laws on you and every other damned who polluted our soil; you have boasted of toleration Yankee safety in South’ Carolina, but we will teach you different lesson.” Many threats and insulting epithets used by both of these men, appatest] with the design awakening a response that should afford them s protexs for pitching into their intended victim. But Mr. Lowis being a cool Yankee, and betraying no ap t passion og as they bad anticie fear, they failed to work their plans ated. As a colored man in company with r. Lowis whe Pad been at a distance approached, Mr. Rowe drew his revolver upon him saying you damned black rascal baok or 1 will blow out your brains. As the man turn aside Mr. R. struck at him with his revolver, which was warded ofl and the colored man left without doing or saying any- thing to excite abuse, In the course of the conversation Mr. Lewis was asked why he did not stay at such a over night, adding that if they had known where he stayed, they would have made mince meat of him. Mr. Lewis was toll not to presume to come again to that section to preach, aud assured that they should hang to the first tree tLe fist Yaukee preacher or teacher, who might be found teaching the niggers in that vicinity. When asked by Mr. Lewis if they did not the situation? They replied that they accepted the Pricy of President Ly bat not that of the damned Yan« kees, Others from the crowd finally jomed in tho insults and threats upon Mr, Lewis, one “pproathing him u borrid oaths, said he ought to have is throat cut on spot, and if any one would join him, he would do it thea. uch was said of the same sort, but finally, much to Mr. Lewis's relief, the cars came in sight, and he was allowed to take his departure for Charleston, No doubt Mr. Lewis owes much to his ealin self on, aud his ua. impassioned replies to their insulting abuse, as well as te the fact, that he did not kappen to meet these men till day- light, and when friendly eyes could witness the scene, Le military is powerless now to protect our white eciti- zens, but not 50 as yet with the colored people, and Gea. Devens has ordered the arrest of Simms and Rowe, and they are to be brought before him at Charleston. Such are the fruits that are developing Lore, on the presont plam of Southern reconstruction. The prospect now is that the spirit of Slavery is again to trinmph and run riot here, to the overthrow of freedom and equal rights. The military District of Charleston, under the command of Major-Gen, Devens, of Massachusetts, has bean abol- ished, and troops from the Jar Army are being substi- tuted for the volunteer forces that were previously on duty here. Gen. Devens is now on duty in the place of Gen. Sickles, who is absent at Washington, but isex 1 to return.
