She comes to get her husband released on parole, or have more commodious quarters and less restraint upon him. Of cotirse, she will aceom- plish Ler objects, THE MEMPHIS RIOTS. Major Gilbreth, seut by Gen. Howard to investigate the Memphis riots, has made a partial report on the subject. Ke says The civil authorities have not taken the slightest notice of these terrible riots, and seem to regard them as stinply a skirmish betwéen the police and the negroes. It was certainly a very one-sided skirmish, as from the testimony no resistance was made by the negroes after the tirst might, The citizens have been advised to hold a meeting and denounce the conduct of the mob, but still they either neglect, or refuse to do so. The papers of Memphis are at the root of the whole matter. They have incited riot and murder for 1oonths, and this is only a legitimate result cf their inflammatory and incendiary articles; and these poor whites, between whom and the negroes a feud has always existed, have been but their tools.” NOMINATIONS REJECTED. The Senate to-day rejected Samuel McKelvey, nomina ted as United States Marshal for the District of Western Penusylvania, and also Mr. Purnell, Blair's candidate for Postmaster at Baltimore; beth rejections being on the ground that they were supporters of the President's policy. INTERNAL REVENUE, Receipts to-day, $657,142. THE BOUNTY BILL. Gen. Schenck will call up his Bounty bill to-morrow, as mmended in Committe, anl will try to pussit. There is large majority in its favor in the House, which guaran- tees its passage whene er put to vote. THE AMENDM:NTS, It is expected that the Senate will next week vote upon the Constitutional amendments, and the belief gains ground that the third section will be either altered or stricken out. Almost the entire discussion bears upon that point. CLEARING SAVANNAH HARBOR. The Government have awarded to-day a contract to Henry 8. Welles of New-York to raise the vessels in the River and Harbor of Savannah, These vessels were sunk by the Rebels to obstruct the channel. The gunboats and other vessels were scuttled and sunk at the time the city was evacuated. There are in all about 20, some of them very valuable, with all their guns and armament on board. FRANK BLAIR REJECTED. The statement that the Senate had reconsidered the vote rejecting the nomination of Frank Blair as Collector of the First District of Missouri is incorrect. No confirmation or rejection can be reconsidered unless the motion is made within two Executive sessions after confirmation. A MISSION TENDERED TO GOV. CURTIN. It is said by friends of Gov. Curtin that be bas been tendered the mission to Italy. RELIEF OF SUFFERERS. Gen. Baird, Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau in Louisiana, reports that he is furnishing food to the in- habitants of the overflowed districts, PROPOSALS OPENED.

Mr. STEVENS (Pa.) moved to amend the sixth section in reference to the Sea Islands, by making it read that when the former owners gual apply for the restoration of the lands, the Commissioner shall refuse to surrender them. Mr. Stevens said those lands were forfeited to the United States as belonging to belligerents, and were allotted to some 6,000 families, who were now in possession, culti- vating them end having comfortable homes on them. It would be cruel and unjust to turn them out, leaving the Government to procure for them other lands at the cost of $25 un acre, as proposed by the section, The amendment was adopted by Yeas 79, to 46 Nays, OHIO LANDS. The SPEAKER presented a lettor from the Secretary of the Iuterior, transmitting popers in reference to the re- appraisement of certain lands in Ohio, pursuant to the au- thority of the joint resolution approved May 5, 1866, which was laid on the table.

On motion of Mr. Myers (Pa.), the paragraph was further amended by striking out the words photographs, ambrotypes, deguerreotypes or other sun pictures of any description,” thus relieving them also from penalty for not haviug revenue stamps attached. They were subse- quently inserted in a preceding paragraph of the bill and subjected to a five per cent tax, Mr. HoicHKiss (N, Y.) moved to amend the paragraph amending Schedule B, by relieving receipts from the ne- cessity of having stamps attached. Mr. MORRILL opposed the amendment, stating that last year the Government received $300,000 a month from stamps attached to receipts. Mr. PRICE moved to amend by abolishing all receipt stamps under ten cents. r. MORRILL opposed the amendment, stating that the smihll stamps were ten times more productive than the large ones. He Loped that the stawp system would not be given up for many years. he amendment was rejected. The paragraph amending schedule C was amended by making the stamp duty on bottles, ete., read thus: for aud upon every can, bottle or other single package con. taining meats, fish, shell fish, fruits, vegetables, sauce, raising, prepared mustard, jams or jellies contained therein, or packed or sealed, made, prepared and sold, or offered for sale, or removed for consumption in the United States after the 1st of October, 1860, where the can and contents do not exceed two pounds in weight, one cent, and for every additional pound er fraction of a pound, one cent,’ and striking out all the rest of the para. graph.

Smith of the Intelligence Office, with refusing to con- tract for the employ of freedmen without a bonus of $15 apiece. The same statement was telegraphed in advance to Japers in several of the Northern cities, On examination it appears that dishonorable proposi- tions were made to the officers of the Bureau, which failed to accomplish their purpose, and Roberts himself, the cor- respondent of a prominent Northern paper, published the card, and another correspondent telegraphed it in order to bring the Burcan officers into disrepute, A statement ap- eared in all the papers this morning, signed by Roberts, Jeaping and retracting everything in his card of the day fore.

Colored GALVESION, May 17, 1866 The 10th U. 8. Colored Regiment, Licut.-Col. Powell about 800 strong, left Galveston this morning for Fortress Monroe direct. This regiment has been doing garrison duty here for two months, and kas done i well. The viow lations of good order, which have been but few, are ex. ceptional cases. No regiment, white or black, ever be- haved better as a whole, and unless the white 17th Regu. lars, who have lately arrived here, improve in their ways the citizens will have cause to regret the change, Theso Regulars, being mostly fresh recruits, began their advent here by an indiscriminate abuse of their black brethren in the service, but they soon found that they wero on the wrong road to the favor of the ri/izens of the town, who evidently had more respect for a sober black soldier, than a drunken white one. In more than one case where the white blackguard attacked the colored citizen—drayman or what not—the citizens advised the faeedman to go in” and give him a whipping, which was cheerfully and handsomely done. They found a wonder- ful waking up among the woolly heads, who turned the war upon them so promptly, they soon abandened the raid upon Sawbo as unprofitable, aud pot even yielding as much glory as the attack upon the colored women and children in New-York, and other Copperhead regions of the North.

JONES. The Irving Bask Embezziement— Arrest of the Defaulier and Recovery of the Money Only $45,000 Involved. A rumor obtained considerable currency yesterday in monetary circles, to the effect that the Irving Bank, corser of Warren and Greenwich ste., bad suffered Leavily by embez- zlement. Upon investigation we learned, from undoubted authority, that the sum amounted merely to $4,700, one-half of which has been aiready recovered, and the iriends of the embezzler have given bonds for the remaindir. A young wan, one of the book-keepers of the bauk, and son of 8 promin. n’ clergyman of this city, whose name we witbLold from motives of delicacy, has been arrested and imprisoced. He admits his guilt, says he ferced his balance-sheet to make up the deficit, and has returned a part of the mosey. It will thus be seen that the bank will lose nothing whatever, and its business will not be embarrassed in the least by the affair, which, by the way, only injures those engaged in it. It is sumply another illustration of the debasing 1nflaences of intemperance and de- moralizing associations. We would have been glad to be silent in regard to the matter, but the rumors of the street were so mach worse than the reality that we foe! induced, for the pur- pose of allaying the distrust aroused yesterday by the whis. pered report, to place the facts authentically before our read. ers. The guilty party will perhaps be brought before a proper tribunal, until which time any further bistory of his crime way safely be postponed. Barbarcus Treatment of the Freedmen in North 4 EH

NEW.YORK DAILY TKIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1866. NEW PUBLICATIONS. The most remarkable article in “The Catholie World,’ for Juse is an onginal paper on Religion in Now-York," which contains some facts that deserve serious attention. The author shows the insufliciency of church accommoda- tion for the professedly Protestant portion of the commu. pity, especially the poorer classes. Delow Canal and Grand-sts., it is estimated that there are 135,000 inhabit. sute, and only 20 Protestant churches aud Mission chapels with sittings in the aggregate for 15,000. Between Canal and Fourteenth-sts. there ara 88 churches for a population of 26.000; and above Fourteenth-st. 82 churches for a population of 418,000, The difficulty is that the churches ars cistributed almost wholly with reference to the couve- nience of the wealthier classes; and there are from 275,000 to 475,000 of the non-Catholic population who attend no place of worship atall, The lower section of the city has been almost entirely given up by Protestants, Probably the re. ligions denominations mast interested in this state of affairs will mot agree with the writer in Lis conclusion thet Pro- testantism is in no condition to keep what it has or recover what it has lost; but the facts and fizures which he offers are not matters of opinion, The Catholic population is estiinatoed at from 300,000 to 400,000, und 1s increasing at the rate of 20,000 per annum. There are 32 churches, the aggregate capacity of which (allowing for twe, three, or four masses every Sunday, each of which is attended bya separete congregation,) is about 200,000, and these churches are distributed through the city with very careful reference to the wants of the people. The other original articles ix this munber of “The Catholic World,” are a continuation of Problems of the Age,” “Two Pictures of Life in France before 1848,” several picces of poetry, and reviews of new publications. We have received the first num! Journal of Numismatics and Bulletin of the American Numismatic and Archalogical ciety,” a monthly peri. odical, edited by Frank H. Norton, and published in this Clty wv of the American Chromo-Lithography. The recent publication, by Messrs. L. Prang Co. of Lloston, of some five specimens of Chromo lithography, par: tion'arly one representing a Group of Chickens,” after Tait which we regard as the most creditable picce 8 work of this, class yet produced in America, hag excited considerable n-* quiry as to how sach work is done; we have hereforeshought that a brief description of the process might not prove unin teresting to our readers, Chromo-lithogrephy is the art of picture-printing in colors, and, although mot a very recent invention, it has been greatly modified aud improved of late years; it might, with propriety, be called mechanical painting, os the colors are laid on one after another, mingling the different tints and shades vutil the picture is complete, in mauner analogous to painting with a brush; end, provided the men who undertake the work are skillful artists, there is po reason wiy a Chromo-lithograph should fall short, in poiut of expression or delicacy, of the orig taal painting which it is designed to imitate, A few words on ordinary lithography will first be necessary in order to give the reader a clear idea of the Chromo process. Briefly, then, a lithograph isa chemical drawing upon stone— the drawing being made with a greasy or oily ink upos the pooaliar quality of limestone found in the quarries of Solea- hofer, Bavaria. Al other processes of engraving are mechan. foal rather than chemical, a8 in wood or type work, where the fmpression is obtained from a raised design, or in copper aud steel plates, where the design is made by deep incisions, into whioh the ink is rubbed. In the lithographic process, how- ever, there is neither relievio nor intaglio design—the opera tion is dependent simply upon the chemical affinity existing between the greasy watter employed in the ink and that upon the stone, and the antagonism which this matter has for water, with which the stone is in all cases dampened before pulling an iM Pression. In Chromo-lithography the process is identical, except that a different stone is required for every color employed, and the tuk used 4s a species of oil color, similar to that adopted by artists for painting. The number of stones used depends upon the number of colors required, usually varying between 10 and $0, and tho time necessary to prepare these stones for an elab- orate piece of work extends over months, and sometimes yoars; bat the numbar of colors in any given picture is not always an wdication of the number of stones employed, es the colors and tints are multiplied by combination in being printed one ever another: thus, in an engraving in which 25 stones are used, there may be upward of 100 different shades of color obtained by this means. The amount of labor and deiail involved in drawing the different parts of the design upon so many stones 1s almost inconceivable to one who is uninitiated. The modus operandi is as follows: Upon the first store a general tint is laid, covering nearly the whole picture, and as many sheets of paper as there are to be copies of the picture are printed from it. A second stone la then prepared, embracing all the shades of some other solor, and the sheets already printed with the first color are worked over this stome. A third, fourth, fifth and sixth follow, each one repeating the process and adding some new volor,“sdvancing the picture a step further, until the requisite samber of colors have been applied. The printing of so many solors, and the time required for drying cach before the appli- sation of a succeeding ome, involves wonths of careful and wnxiously watched labor, Great care and skill are required to perfeot what is technically termed the “registering,” or that part of the process which provides that the paper falls apon every stone in exactly the same position relatively to the outline. To attain this end, stout brass pins ere fixed in a frame surrounding each stone. These pins penetrate the paper in asking the first impression, end, the holes thus made being carefully placed over, the pins in all subsequent jmpres- sions, imeures the certainiy of the outline on every stone slways falling into the same position on every sheet. At last bowever, it leaves the press to be sized, embossed, varnished, mounted end fremed, The embossing is that part of the operation necessary to break the glossy light and soften the hard outlices, a broken structvrel :ing giver to the print by being passed through the press in contact with a roughened stone. Of course the Chromo-lithographer, es well as the Printer, mast be artists, in feeling at least, or they never can attain any degree of competency; and thie requisite, combined with the neoessity of long study and traiving is the reason why so little is done im this branch of the business in this country. We ere pleased to sce so much setivity manifested in this di- rection at present, as evincing the growing interest of an art. loving community mm such matters, and trust that those who devote their time and means to is will receive the energetic support they deserve. The number of success ul Chromo-litho- .graphers even in Europe is ye. very limited, therefore the ef- torts of American houses are all the more praiseworthy, in view of the degree of perfection whick bas jucen atiaived in sheir work. Messrs, Prang Co. have other works of this nature in press, and we trust they may rece’ve the encouragement neces sary to enable them to comtinue their labors, which have a tendency to raise the standard of art among us, and educate the taste of the masses, by placing within their reach fac sim- {les of the finest works of the great masters in painting.

Mr. Schenck announeed that the Bonnty Bill had been revised, All local bounties paid to soldiers are to be deducted from the suns due them, An amendment was adopted to the Freedmen's Bureau bill confirming the right of the negroes to their Sea-Island lands. The Tax bill was fully considered. Ground coffee, spices, photographs, ambrotypes and daguerrcotypes were relieved from taxation, while cigarlights were taxed. Pending the consideration of the bill the House adjourned, Our seventh page to-day is composed wholly of reading matter, in which will be found correspondence, reports of various kinds, telegraphic matter, &c., &c. The Senate Las the West Point bill under cousidera- tion. This school of Barnacles will stand a good deal of wholesome, sharp, decisive legislation. The Senate has appointed a committee to inquire into the condition of the National Banks. But ig not this the business of the Controller of the Currency? Congress seems to be determined that the negroes shall not be hustled off the Sea Islands by returning Rebels, after being placed there by Gen. Sherman. Blessed be Congress! Wall-st. was excited yesterday with a report of another embezzlement, The first story was that the amount involved was over $300,000, but subsequent investigations reduce it to about $45,000, The par- ticulars will be found in another column, We tender fervent thanks to Gen. Schenck and his associates on the Military Committee of the Hong for having amended the bill to Equalize Soldiers’ Boun- ties go as to require the bounties paid by States aud localities to be considered aud deducted as well as those paid from the Federal Treasury. This obviates our strongest objection to the Equalizing project. Tt is monstrously unjust to pay $300 each, under pre- tense of Equalizing Bounties, to two soldiers, one of whom has already received $600 bounty, while the other has had but $100. If anything is to be done in this line, let it answer to the profession under which it is commended. We have received a communication from Newbern, N. C., signed “Citizens,” emphatically protesting against the report of Gens. Steadman and Fuller- ton a to the condition of affairs in the Bureau in that district.” We have no doubt that such is the feeling of many of the citizens of that town; but, as the letter contains some serious charges against the Commis sion, and as the writers are not willing to substantiate them with the authority of their mames, we must decline their publication. We are quite willing our country cotempora- ries should resort to Tug TripuNg to aid them in editing their papers, which they use to a much larger extent than they do any other journal; and we are willing, whether they credit us or not with what they take, which many of them are very careful not to do. But if they do n't mind, we would rather they would n't attribute to us what never appeared in these col- umns, as The Newport (R. 1.) News of the 21st inst. does in an article on “The Radicals and Restora- tion.” “TORTURE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS” Under this head, The World cites the testimony of Dr. Cooper, surgeon at Fortress Monroe, that Mr. Davis has been greatly broken of his rest during much of his confinement in that fortress, by “the tramp of the creaking boots of the sentinels on post round the prison-room and he relieval of the guard atthe ex siration of every two hours, which almost invariably weakens Jim. Prisoner Davis states that he has scarcely enjoyed over two hours of sleep unbroken at one time since his con nement, Means bave been taken, by placing matting on the floors for the sentinel to walk on, to alleviate this source of disturbauce, but with only partial success.” —There is no hint in Dr. Cooper's report that there has been any intention to disturb, harass or annoy the prisoner—much less, torture him; indeed, he plainly intimates that no annoyance would have been experienced but for the derangement, prostration, and excessive irritability of the prisoner's nervous system, by reason whereof ‘slight noises” cause him much pain.” Nor is it hinted that this peculiar susceptibility, and the consequent wakefulness,” have hitherto been reported or otherwise represented to the proper authorities so as to expose them to just censure for not ordering the nuisance abated. Yet The World raves through a column, which begins thus: “It is no longer a matter of newspaper rumor that the treatment which Jefferson Davis has received during bis incarceration in Fortress Monroe has been such as to break down his constitution, and to put him, after 12 months of protracted suffering, in imminent peril of death And here is the most astounding close of this strange outbreak: “1f the members of the Congressional majority at Wash. ington are not weaker and more wicked man than the sternest of their political opponents would willingly believe them to be, they will compel a prompt exposure of the authors of this shameful thing, a prompt exposure and a Junshant as prompt. The President has done his duty in laying bare the facts, and will do hia duty, we doubt not, in arresting at once and summarily this continuons outrage upon the national character. But we live in an epoch of Congressional inquiries into national seandals and national rumors of all kinds; and the conscienco of the country will hold the present Congress to a dread responsibility if it shirk or evade in any war a duty more important to our national honor than any which it has as yet assumed.” —Now, The World is perfectly aware of the notori- ous fact that Congress has had no shadow of agency in Mr. Davis's arrest or incarceration, No reward for his capture was ever offered or prompted by that body, or by either branch of it. Mr. Davis was arrested an® is still imprisoned on a charge of tom- plicity in the assassination of President Lincoln, pub- licly and solemnly preferred by President Johnson, in thefollowing official document: “PROCLAMATION, Whereas, 1t appears from evidence in the Barean of Military Justice that he atrocious murder of the late President, Abraham Lincoln, and the attempted assassination of the Hon.

May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and of the independence of the U aited States of America the eighty nth, ANDREW JOM ON, iv the President W. HUNTER, Acting Secretary of State twenty-five thousand dollars for the arrest of Jacob has already had upon the general progress of the Law of Nations, of which the Law of War is a branch: “The law of war bas become more humane in the last wars of Europe and America. The dangers of war are lessened by it, and limits are put to the evils of rude passion. Bat the knowledge of the modern law of war, how- ever important for persons in the military as well as in the civil service, is by no means sufficiently extended. It is, there fore, a duty of science to make this knowledge accessible to every one. «The articles of war, drawn up by Dr. Lieber ix New York, and promulgated in 1563 by President Lincoln for the army of the United States, have served as a model for this work. A similar code of the law of war does not yet exist in European literature. ‘The American articles have been largely and often literally used. The author has, in addition, embodied the re. sults of the International Convention at Geneva, of 1804, cerning the protection and care extended to wounded soldi “If, which God may awert, war shall really at last take place, it will be very desirable, and, indeed, a positive duty of humanity, that the belligerent Governments should follow the example of America, and give distinet orders to their armies to make their conduct agreeable to the laws of war. Possibly this work may be used for that purpose.” We understand that Dr. Lieber expects to have the work of the German jurist translated into English. Having mentioned the Geneva Con- vention for the relief and protection of the wounded in the field, we may also state here that the results of this International Congress, as well as the “Treaty for the Amelioration of the Condition of wounded Soldiers of Armies in the Field,” between certain Powers of Europe, may be found in apamphlet just published in Washington, under the titleof The American Association for the Relief of the Misery of Battle-Fields,” a central national Committee, auxiliary to the Comité Internationale do sécours aux Mili- taires Blessés,” &c. This Association was formed after the dissolution of the great Sanitary Commis sion, and counts among its members most of the prominent members of the Inte Commission. A NEW MOVE ON JHE EUROPEAN CHENS-BOARD. If Louis Napoleon, by his specch at Auxerre (or by the interpolated account of it in the Moniteur),did not mean to pledge bLimself to the support of Italy and Prussia, he undoubtedly wished to be understood so at Vienna. The speech contained the significant hint to the Austrian Government that if France, detest ing the treaties of 1815," and always sympathizing with the “national aspirations of oppressed peoples,” especially with those of Italy, which, a few years ago, by the cession of Savoy, enabled France to rectify” a part of her frontier, should once more unite all her forces with those of Italy and Prussia, the aggregate strength of the two belligerent parties would be very waterially changed. Should France remain neutral, the strength of the two parties would be about as’ follows: Prussia and Italy together havea population of 40,000,000 souls, and their armies, put on a war footing, will together number about 1,000,000 men. Ou the other hand, we have Austria with 35,000,000 and the minor German States with 17,000,000, to. gether 42,000,000 of inhabitants, and also mustering an army of about 1,000,000 men. The Federal Diet pledged itself on the 9th of May against Prussia, with the exception, however, of Mecklenburg and the XVth and XVIIth curiae (which means a majority of the following States: Oldenburg, Anhalt, Schwarzburg, and the four free cities). Of these States, Mecklen- burg would be prevented by her geographical position from furnishing a contingent to a Federal army di- rected against Prussia, and some of the others might endeavor to remain neutral; but, on the whole, the contingent of the minor States to the Federal army may, since May 9, be set down as the certain ally of Austria. This would nearly balance the strength of the two parties. The alliance of France with the opponents of Aus- tria would insure the success of the latter. For Aus- tria, with its many discontented provinces, to resist the onset of three powers as consolidated and homogene- ous as Prussia, Italy and France, is out of the ques- The Court of Vienna is, of course, fully con- Louis Napoleon, moreover, has taken special pains to urge it upon the immediate attention of Austria, and to that end bas dispatched a special envoy to Vi enna. The Austrian papers maintain that this mes senger was to request the Austrian Goverument to make certain concessions with regard to the Venetian tion. scious of this fact. question, and they claim to have trustworthy author- 'erents,

—We havealready declared our beliefthat thischarge is nnfounded; but we have never seen the evidence to assist Prussia, which, with its 19,000,000 of in- whereon it is avowedly based, and our belief does not weirh against the solemn charge of the President of ponents commanding more than 50,000,000, the United States, officially promulgated more than a year ago, and to this hour neither retracted nor qual- ified. Mr. Davis is not and could not fe held as a prisoner of war; since the restoration of peace has been officially proclaimed; he is a prisoner of State, under the charge above cited, and ought ere this to have been arraigned or the accusation withdrawn. With what reason, then, is Congress called on to interpose and virtually inculpate President Johnson as a torturer? The matter is clearly executive in its ity for stating that the result of the negotiations en- tered into between Austria and France is calculated to effect a total change in the present course of political as it Austria of the double burden of carrying on war simultancously in the North and the South, The purport of all this is clear. The Austrian papers speak of an arrangement which would provide for the cession of a part or the whole of Venetia, if in return France and Italy would pledge themselves not would relieve nN habitants, would thus be left alone at war with op- The next European mail is likely to bring more de- tailed accounts of these new negotiations, It is, in the mean time, clear that such an arrangement must have presented itself to the minds of Austrian states men as the most advantageous that, in view of the threatening attitude of France, could be obtained. They all know and openly admit that Venetia, year for year, is for Anstria a source of greater expenditure than income; that this burden is growing heavier character—Congress has had nothing to do with it, and cannot intermeddle without virtually arraigning the President as 4 malefactor. This never do. 1 it do anything in the premises, it should begin by a respectful inguiry as to the material facts; and then, should the President respond—* 1 will at- tend to my own business—mind yours ""—though the answer would be rude, it could not be fairly deemed impertinent. The World's intent is clearly to assail the President under pretense of invoking action from Congress, But the public will condemn neither till advised of the facts, THE LAW OF WAR. Dr. Bluntschli, Professor of the Law of Nations in the University of Heidelberg, has just published an we trust it will every year, aud that, in any new European complica tion, Venetia is the most vulnerable point of the Em. pire. By selling Venetia, Austria would get rid of its greatest danger, with a fair prospect of now solving the Gordian kuot of German unity at the expense of Prussia. “ILEAS IN NUCED?

COLORADO, The Daily Mining Journal, (Black Hawk, Colorado,) replying to an assault on the New State movement, claims for Colorado a present population of 40,000, and adds: “Itis mot true that mining has ever been at a stand still; that the gold crop of any year has been almost a failure; that 810,000,000 have been invested in mining iz this Territory ia 1861 or since it was a Territory; that bay sells in Winter at $300 a tun, and that grain costs 18 to 25 cents a pound. We onre not who mak® such statements, they are false, If these parties found them in Gen, Pierce's report, or in any other report, they eught rather to show their falsity than parade them for the sake of belittling the resources of the Territory. Ttis not true that our population has been decreasing sinoe 1361, por that it will continue to decrease, It has been gaining since the beginning of 1864, notwithstanding the unheard of difficnltion with which we have struggled. In 1865, our asscss- able property doubled in value according to official reports. It is not true that our petroleum resources are coufined to one well yielding two barrels a day. They are ample to supply the Territory, and have only been awaiting the arrival of refining apparatus to be fully developed, The well now yields 40 barrels a day. It is not true that we have but one salt spring worked in a small way; we have many of them, and the one worked will supply all the salt used in Colorado within three months, And ‘we have but one small iron farnsce and very few coal veins opened,’ say these birds of evil omen. We have the most magnificent col and iron ore beads in the world, and it is to our oredit that even one furnace for the manufacture of pigs has been put in operation. How many of the Western States can say as much.” FREEDMAN'S BUREAU AGAIN A bill has been introduced into the House contin- uing the Freedman's Bureau for two years. The bill protects the loya! freedmen and refugees, and directs the appointment of two assistant-commissioners in addition to those now authorized, who shall have charge of certain districts, These commissioners and their subordinates shall be under military jurisdic- tion and military protection. No person shall be deemed destitute or deserving of assistance Who has capacity and opportunity for work. For the purpose of making the Bureau self-sustaining, the President is directed to reserve from sale or settlement under the Homestead and Preémption laws and assign to freedmen and refugees not exceeding a million acres of land in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansas, to be allotted in parcels of forty acres each, at a certain rental. The rental will go toward the support of the Bureau. When the price of each allotment of land is paid to the Government, a fee simple title will be given to the owner. This bill seems to meet the want of the South. Two years will enable us to decide more practically upon the condition of the South, Two years more of military occupation will, we trust, strengthen the Union power beyoud any successful opposition, and we may hope by that time to have our loyal element predominant, and the sensible Southerners thoroughly weaned from the tendencies of rebellion and secession. The reservation of undeveloped lands is a wise meas- ure. Give the freedman and the refugee a home, and they will become useful, intelligent and conscientious citizens. It is to be hoped that Congress will pass this bill. We scarcely think the President will veto a measure 50 just and at the same time so conservative. THE WEBSTER VASE, In the year 1535, Mr. Webster was probably at the hight of his popularity, moral and material prosperity, and rational political hopes. If he ever had any chance of the Presidency, which is doubtful, it was then; and next, perhaps, to Mr, Clay—all considera- tions of expediency out of the question—he had a right to the nomination by the Whig party. He had fought nullification, and he had fought Gen. Jackson, the great foe of nullification; he was the idol of the capi- talists of New-England and of New-York; he was termed godlike” by his admirers; and in Massachu- setts he was as nearly omnipotent as Mr. Calhoun in South Carolina, or Mr. O'Connell, at one time, in Ireland. But his darkest days were to come. He was to lose his hold upon the affections of more than a very small class of his immediate fellow-citizens; he was to undergo the ignominy of his connection with Mr. Tyler's Government; and he was to throw away name and fame by his support of the Compromise measures. It will not do, perhaps, to say that he died of a broken heart, for he was an old man when he de- parted; but it is a matter of history that he did die bitterly disappointed, poor, greatly in debt, without much political influence, and with his popularity at home so seriously diminished that he probably could not have heen sure of a majority ol votes for any office whatever. All ways, to nse the words in their connon signification, he was unfortunate. Mr. Burke, in re. citing the sorrows of his old age, dwelt with peculiar pathos upon the death of his son, which would pre- clude him from becoming the founder of afamily. Mr. Webster lost not only the wife of his youth, to whom he had given the first affections of his great heart, but children who were dear to him. Since his death, his only surviving child has perished in battle, and we are now told that the direct descendants of the illustrious dead are passing away one after the other.” This is the American fate. We gather fame and fortune, but these found no families, Hero and there, we meet with a man who is proud of his great-great-grand- father; but much oftener we encounter respectable persons. who do not know who their great-great grandfathers were, We have no law of entail nor of primogeniture, and large wealth is rarely kept in alump for more than two or three generations, Capacity for public affairs is quite as rarely transmitted, The Adams family bas been distinguished for talent and ability through three generations; but no similar in- stance at present occurs to us, There are many of our readers who will remember that Mr. Webster was, on the 12th of October, 1=35, presented by the citizens of Boston with a silver vase. It was given to him as **The Defender of the Con- stitution.” Three thousand persons flocked to the Odeon to witness the ceremony. Mr, Francis C. Gray made the presentation speech—Mr. Webster “a happy and characteristic reply.” We may ba sure that the Webster Vase”; was very much talked of about that time. 1Itis a curious fact that some of the gentlemen who originally subscribed for this costly token should now be found uniting with others in buying back the piece of plate from Mr. Webster's heirs. How much they paid for it, in the second Britain, instance, we are not informed—probably something more than its worth as old silver. Dut whatever its value, the thirty-nine gentlemen, headed by Mr, Peter Harvey, have struck a bargain, and sent the vessel to be forever preserved in the Boston Public Library, If too poor to keep it, the family, it seems, were not too prond to sell it, and the utensil has been saved from an ignominious exhibition in an auction. room. The transaction is painful enough to provoke a little cynical reflection. It seems as if dollars and cents were to be forever associated with Mr, Webster's name and memory. Men still talk of his prodigious earnings and Lis equally prodigious prodigality—how he lived beyond his income and was always in debt— how he carried great sums in his waistcoat pocket, and how he lost them—how he took cash for making Taylor speeches—how he kept tradesmen out of their money—how he borrowed of all who would lend to him, and often forgot to pay—how he received a regular annuity from several of his friends, &e., &e. His great abilities carried him through all this, under which lesser men would have sunk; but when he died, he left none who had a like ¢laim upon friendly generosity, although in a position greatly needing it. But it is hardest of all to have these mercenary remin- iscences associated with a lofty name. The public has its own idea of clean palms and of disinterested public service. The younger Pitt did nothing which came nearer to making him actually popular in En. gland than his refusal to receive money from the City of London. He, too, was extremely poor and dread. fully in debt; but the proposal to relieve him bya pub. lic subscription met at once with ‘dded snd in. flexible disapprobation. What a private man owes or does not owe; whether he lives within or beyond his icowe; *whether be be economical or extravagant, is merely hisown business or that of his creditors. But Mr. Webster's affairs were made public affairs; his wants were relieved by publio subscriptions; his pecuniary eccentricities were the theme of public anecdote; everybody who knew him knew that he wasted much money and often wanted it. The silver vase, which is to be preserved in the Boston Library, will inevitably perpetuate these scan- dals. This should have been a sufficient reason for consigning it tosome less public custody, with a some- what smaller violation of the laws of good taste and of gentlemanly feeling. But its position having been settled, it must be admitted that the toy will not be without its lessons—Ilessons which it is unnecessary for us to more than suggest. THE DEATH RECORD oF THIS CITY, During the two months ending May 12, there was, in the City of New-York, 22 deaths from starvation, 127 deaths from accidents and negligence, 22 from drunkenness, and 10 suicides. The deaths from acei- dent and negligence present quite as frightful a re- cord. In the present state of science, whose special province it is to foretell just such events, scarcely a single homicide of this kind ought to occur. An ordi- nary degree of care, or even a partial adaptation of the knowledge we have to the daily affairs of life, would prevent uine-tenths of the deaths from accidental causes. What engineer, being aware of the strength of a bridge, and the weight of a train, cannot tell the exact degree of danger to life when the onc passes over the other? There is no excuse for crushing a man be- tween two vehicles in front of the Astor House, or running over a child in Third-ave. There are com- paratively few persons so reckless as to expose them- selves to danger of maiming or death, so that the great majority of those who die from accident are slain outright by others to whom they have intrusted their lives, Last, though by no means least, in the catalogue of preventable deaths are those that are caused by con. tagious diseases. Under proper sanitary condition we do not believe typhus ever could occur, or if it did, with only the same degree of frequency that small- pox follows vaccination. Nevertheless, during the two months to which we have already referred, 706 deaths took place in the City of New-York from dis- eases that science ought now to be able to prevent. In the same period the total number of deaths from all causes was 3,997, showing an annual death rate of 33 in 1,000 of the population, basing our estimate on the census of 1265. The greatest weekly mortality during the same time was 473 in the week ending April 7, equivalent to an aunual mortality of 34.356 in 1,000 inhabitants; while the least was 421, for the week ending April 21, showing an annual death rate of 30.139 in 1,000. In the leading cities of Great Britain, for the week ending April 7, the death record shows the following annual rate of mor. tality: London, 27; Edinburgh, 23; Dublin, 21; Bristol, 32; Birmingham, 32; Liverpool, 42; Man. chester, 35; Salford, 44; Sheffield, 33; Leeds, 35; Hull, 26; Newecastle-on-Tyne, 25; Glasgow, 33. To render the comparison complete, we give also the an. nual death rate, for the week ending April 21, as tol- lows: London, 26; Edinburgh, 25; Dublin, 32; Bristol, 27; Birmingham, 2%; Liverpool, 36; Man- chester, 36: Salford, 35; Sheflicld, 30; Leeds, 33; Hull, 24; Neweastle-on-Tyne, 29; Glasgow, 38, From these statistics it will be seen that while New York compares favorably with the leading eities of Great London, with a population quadruple our own, has an annual death-rate remarkably smaller, fact altogether due to its sanitary condition and the methods emplored to prevent and control disease. The discrepancy is too great; but the means by which it may be remedied are obvious, The Washington Chronicle says: A fair analysis of last night's investment of the Johnsom Club leaves the following product: ‘or ''m iey The resident, The State Department, The Navy, The Treasury—4. For the policy of Congress or the people: The War Department, The Interior, The Law, The Post-Office Department—A4. —We do not think the record justifies this classifi cation. Secretary Stanton says he was at one time in favor of securing the right of suffrage to the colored inhah- itauts of the Rebel States either’ as a universal rule or to those qualified by education or by actual service as soldiers who ventured life for their Government.’ “After calm and full discussion” his judgment yielded” to the adverse arguments resting upon the practical difficulties to be encountered in such a measure,” This is one divergence on the Secretary's part from the policy of Congress and the people. The other is where the Secretary refuses to indorse the Con- gressional plan. Mr. Dennison does not, in his whole speech, breatlie one wish for universal suffrage, not oue hope for justice to the loyal Black. Ou the contrary, he says that but one thing remains to complete the work of restoration and to clothe the Southern States with all their Constitutional privileges, and that is their repre sentation in Congress.” Not one word for the negro! Assuredly, Mr. Denison does not stand by the policy of the country and Congress. —In making up a record, it is well to make a truo one. The Fayetteville News (N.

By their help he has made the Gaul of Casar's fine in its geographical features and the battle grounds and Koman camps as visibly intel gible a we could desire.

This second volume closes, as I said, with the final de- cision of Julius Cesar to cross the Rubicon, to strike the coup d'etat, in the year of the city 705, B. C. 45. Aud what is curiously noteworthy mow, is not the constant parallelisins between that ancient revolutionary act and his evolutionary blow of 1851, which the Emperor indicates, suggests, lays out, defines in the preceding pages of the work, but the prominence and unquestioned impdrtance of bearing on Cresar’s final revolutionary act, that he gives to Cesare dreains the night before and to omens in the sky. "Ihe poor authority of a poet aud «gossiping historian, Lercoin and Suetonius, on such cloudy mystic matters, is vely cited in the foot-notes. This will not surprise those who have studied Napoleon's character, this strong touch of mysticism, any more than the alost admirable Jack throughout this second as throughout Wie first volume of any proof of a moral sense on the part of the author.

All this was doubtiess a mere foreshadowing of what after- ward did take place, but at the time the stateinent was issued it was mere imagination. The Chancellor's answer was also graciously given to the effect that the Jank might issue five millions of notes above their maximum without holding gold to cover the amount. It is corious illustration of how much all thie panic is a question of confidence, that no sooner was this announcement made than the market felt better, People began to breathe a little more freely, holders of stocks became saucy and wonld not sell at the ruinous prices which Lad prevaied, and, in short, there was a gleam of susshive in that most gloomy place.

Government has produced a Bankruptey bill ulso—at a very appropriate time, Here are its charactenstics: “"Henceforth it is proposed that the realization and distri bution of the bankrupts estate shall be confided to two classes of persons, trustees and inspectors. The creditors, voting bya majority in value, elect a person to be trustee: and itis his doty to manage, realize and recover the property. In like manner they elect two or more of their own body to be in spectors, and these persons superintend the proceedings of the trustee, decide as to the payment of dividends, aud may, at any time, ascertain the situation of the estate and report upon it to a general meeting of the creditors. A general juris: diction is given to an oflicer, to be arjeinied by the Lord Chanceilor, and st¥led The Controller in Bankruptcy.” ‘This personage will bave authority to hear complaints of avy illegal conduct on the part of inspectors or trustees, and to report thereon to the Court; which 1s empowered to investigate the subject, and, if necessary, to remove the offenders from their oftice. The jurisdiction of the District Bankruptcy Courts is to be transferred to the County Courts, except in the London district, where there will be permanently two Commissioners. In the provinces, as vacancies oceur among the existing commissioners, their duties will be aseigned to the County Court judges, ‘These appear to be tiie saiient features of the system of procedure in bankruptcy, properly so called; but beside tuis, provision is made with reference to the now very common practice of winding up a debtor's estate under a deed of composition or lspectorsLip. Iu that case the matagewent will be withdrawn, toa consid. erable extent, though not wholly, from official cognizance. In order that such aced may be valid and-binding on all credit ors, proper evidence must be given to the Chief Registrar in Baunkraptey that a requisite majority of thew have assented to the arrangement. ‘The parties are subject to the jurisdiction of the Court; and the Coutrolier to whom we have referred exercises the same supervision over the trustee of the deed as il he were a trustee io Bankruptey. “These provisions are intended to provide against fraud and andue preference in the private management of debtors estates; but it is well worthy of consideration whether a still fur tier measure of protee’ion could not be afforded to the class who generally fare the worst in these arrangements—the dis. tant or passive creditors.

Now to home politics, “On Monday Mr. Gladstone redeemed his pledge by bringing before the House of Come mons the bill for the redistinbution of seats, win h proves to be very much like what was anticipated—what 1 wrote of in my last. Jt is eminently mild in its character, and ought to be accepted with gratitude by the Tories, seeing that the Government asks such a very moderate install went of duties in Jardal rectification of some of the most le anomalies that ever disgraced a free country, Centain towns, such as Buckingham, Lichtield and stuf- ford, with a population of less than 8,000, which now return two members, will have one taken from them, and other places returning one are to be grouped either with adjoining small boroughs, or with unrepresented towns in their vicinity, By this process 40 seats are detained for the purpose of redistribution, and of these 26 are given to counties in England, namely: six to South Lancashire, which is to be divided into two constituencies, each res turning three members; and 20 to so many constituencies in which the population exceeds 150,000, Of the remain. ing <3, four seats ere to be given to Kennington and Chelsea, which London suburbs are consolidated into a borough; aud the Tower Hamlets are to be divided into two districts, represented by two members each. An ad. ditional member is given to the large towns of Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Salford and Birminghni; the London University is to be enfranchised; and the remaining seven are to given to Scotland. In spite of its moderation, however, the bill is doomed to meot with much the same bitter and strenuous opposition in Parliament which troubled its half-brother and predecessor. The Tory lead- ers—whose hostility to all reform is becoming more marked and decided every day—have already begun it, On its introduction Mr. Disraeli affected astonishment and anger because Mr. Gladstone omitted to appoint a day for discussing the measure—wisely leaving the House to do what it liked about it—and old Gen. Peel meta phorically shook his fist in the face of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Unfortunately, the advanced period of the session, aud the state of public business are on the side of the adversary.

Yesterday was an unusual event of late in the an- nals of the National Guard of this city, the extraordinary oo casion being brieade field-day of the Fourth Brigade, N. G. 8. N. Y.. Gen. Aspinwall, commanding. In conformity with orders. the five active regiments of the Bricade, consisting of the 22d, 11th, 69th, 95th and 4th Veteran Zouaves, formed at their respective armories early in the morning, and proceeded by ifferent routes to the appointed encampment at East New- York. Shortly after 11 o'clock the entire Brigade had all ar- rived and taken possession of the large esplanade which was transformed into field ground. Teuts were pitched, arms stacked and rolls called; and in quick time the quiet, dreary town was wlive with the sounds of martin music, clanging swords, shrill bugle blasts and other indications of military activity, Dashin equipages fil'ed with beauty and fashion, equestrians seated on spirited animals, and spectators tradeing along ou foot, were one aad all early on the ground in laree numbers to witness tie eullv- ening display. Gen Aspinwall was attended by a full staff, as were the several regimental commanders. Brigade forma tion was commenced about 12 o'clock, The right of the line was held by the Fourth Regiment, Col H. D, Hull, numbering 400 men: next on the right was the Eleventh Regiment, Lieat.. Col. Lux, 540 strong. The Twenty-second Regiment, com- posed of over 500 men. were stationed in the center, under command of Col. Cox. Company B of this Regiment mustered 90 wuskets, under command of Capt. ow and wade a very fine appearance, bein the largest com. pany on the field The position on the left was taken by the 69th, 300 men, Col. T. McMahon, commanding, and the 95th Regiment, Lieut -Col. McElroy, 200 strong, Brigade-Major Taylor arranged the brigade formation, which was successfully and quickly accomplished. A review of the whole line was then made by Gen, Aspluwall and staff, those officers passing by the brigade or. a tall galop, enthiely disre. garding the unexciting, slow canter pace in custom in by gone mi itia days, Ube tirst brigade movement executed was the formation by columus by divisions, on first division, right in front. Wheeling iu close order and advancing in hne of battle by the first battalion of direction was next made, and was followed Dy movement by companies to the rear into column, each regiment then forming wito divisions, A left face movement by companies was made by the Fourth Division. ‘The fifth battalion was then ordered to close up en masse and afterward to chnuge front to the rear. Several other muanenvers by brigade were gone through, with perfect precision and without any percep. tible blunder or buulk, Iu fact, the evolutions of the whole dey were n marked success, and favorable as evineing the mili. tary discipline and efficiency su which the Fourth Brigade has jately been trained. An iutermission was taken during the afternoon, for dinner, and a large supply of extra rations was served to the soldiers direct on the ground, through a contract with Private Joseph Crawford, of the 27th Regiment. The regi. ments were re-formed after dinner, and brigade exercise was agnin commenced. A line of battle was formed, and the Vete. ran Zouaves deployed us skirmishers, which was the most attractive movement of the whole. Firing with blank cortridges wus begun on the front, by the skirmishers, and was followed by companies throughout the brigade. A charge was then made hy the Zounves across the field, and a fence into u ecorntield beyond, firing as they ran, Only for ove unfortunate accident, which marred the entire movement, it would have been a complete aud ex cellent success. This occurred while climbing the feuce, by one of the members of the regiment torowing his gun to get over the more readily, but the bayonet of the gun accidentally struck Corporal Suinuel Young of Co.
