BOOKS OF THE WEEK. he Seventh and Eighth Volumes of Froude's Histery y England,” republished by Charles Scribner Co., de- the reign of Queen Elizabeth from its commence- 4in 1598 to the year 1565, closing with an account of pe voyages of John Hawkins in the slava trade. The pale of this traffic is tersely stated in one of Mr. do's crisp sentences which read )ike en apothegm. The European first converted the negro into a savage, then made uso of his brutality as an excuse for plung- jpg him into slavery.” Mr. Froude continues the strain of eulogy with which he has treated the house of Tudor in previous volumes, and in many respects exhibits the ter of EMzabei in a new'and favorable light. In to the position of Mary Stuart, which bas called such vehement controversy and such excited parti- paship, Mr. Froude takes strong geound against the en of Scots, He conducts the discussion with singu- ur scuteuess, and fortifies his views by a course of in- ous argument, which is none the less forcible, for Kise indirect. ‘The volumes, like those which have pre- them, abound in. short, sharp-cut sketches, which Jove life-like image of the personages of the history. ow much more, for example, 18 told of John Knox, in Re mivioture of the stern Scottish Calvinist than is poally done in the most labored portrait. The northern rmers saw in their first study of the Old Testament antitype of their own history, They coustrued liter- uly the order to keep no terms with idol worship, and in foteration or confomnity they found the rock on which fe chosen people bad ‘made shipwreck. Penetraicd to jhe heart with this eonviction, John Knox became thus tbe representative of all that was best in Scotland. He ‘was no narrow fanatic who, in a world in which God's ace was equally visible in a thousand creeds, conld see th and goodhess nowhere but in bis own formula. He was a large, noble, generous man, with a shrewd pereep- ton of actual fact, who found himself face to face with a ystem of hideous inignity. He believed himself a prophet. ith a direct commission from heaven to overthrow it, and his return to Scotland became the signal therefore for the penowsl of the struggle.” The prescut volumes, although” gontivuing the higtory from the former series without in- ferruption, form in fect the commencement of a new work, »s the accession of Elizabeth the commencement of pew epoch in the history of the Reformation. The Fourth Edition of Dies Irm in Thirteen Original Versions,” by Abraham Coles, M.D., is published by D. Appleton Co. Although as a Protestant and a votgry of physical scienee, the author of this volume might be pre- sumed to cherish but little sympathy with the devotional efiurions of the Romen Catholic chureh, his mind seems to be surcharged with the spirit of medieval poetry, to the study of which he has evidently devoted himself with assionate sincerity. Nothing but a deep love of the sub- eot could have given Lim the impulse to reproduce so thfully the monkich lays which express the faith aud worship of the Romen Church in the jorms of. the‘imagi- tion. United with a rare command of language end Retiity of versification, this is tie sceret of the eminent success with which hie bas reproduced the solemn litany of tie middle ages in such a variety of forms. If not all of equal excellence, it is herd to decide as to their res ective serits, so adwirably do they embody the tone and senti- gent of the origina¥in vigorous andnm resgive verse. The essays which eo aud follow the Hymn, exhibit the ng and taste of the trauslator in a most favoralde ht, and show that an antiquary and a poet Dave not boen lokt in the study of seience and the practice of a la borious profession, In addition to the thirteen versions of Dies Ire,” the volume contains translations of the o Stabat Mater,” Urbs Celestis Syon,” Veni Creator pt. and other choice medi@val hymns, which have n executed with equal unction and have #20 a poem,’ by the same author, ent led “The: Micro- pos’ read before the Medical Fociety of New-Jersey, of which Dr. Coles1s president, at its contenary anniver-ary. Jt is en ingenious attempt to present the principles of the gnimal economy-in a philosophical poem, somewhat after Bie manner of Lucretius, aud combiding scientific analysis Sith religious sentiment. In ordinary hands, we should pot regard this as a happy, ner a safe, experiment, but the exterity with which-it has been managed by Dr. Coles lustrates Lis versatile talent as well as the originality of conceptions, “The History of a Mouthful of Bread,” translated from the French of Jean Macé, by Mrs. Alfred Gatty, is pub- Pstied in a carefully revised edition by the American News Company. The work is written by an accomplished ysiologist and naturalist, and aims at presenting the ing principles of the animal organization in a form adapted to gain the interest and impress the mind of the youngest readers. A morsel of bread is taken as the type alimentary substances, and its successive chauges are ibed from its entrance into the mouth to the com- n of digestion, Pursuing this wethod the author the whole series of processes by which waste and repair of the Jorsicd system is effected, aud mouthful of bread, or beef, or vegetables, is converted to the flesh and blood of the living body. His illustra gions are ample aud in the bighest degree, ingenious, eiten presenting a familiar subject in a fresh light, and elearing up difficulties whieh more elaborate sciontiiic works have overlooked. The volume has been prepared especially for the use of children, but we think, the multi- jp and even the aptness and beauty ofrthe illustrations ould tend to embarass their winds, and prevent them ow obtaining distinct ideas in a fange of study, which its minate details is as yet above their comprehension. eaders of greater maturity and experience, who are interested in puysiology, will fiud not a little pleasure, and a rich store of instruction in the perusal of the volume. A beautiful gift book, published by C. Scribner Co., Burns's Cotter’s Saturdsy Night” with numerous pic- torial illustaations from designs by F. A. Chapman, and In style of pring, paper, and binding suited to gratify the saost fastidious taste. The.poewn, which presents so many poenes adapted to artistic embellishment, has never before been detatched from the coMected worke of the author for x bonors of an ornamented edition, like the Deserted lage,” the “Elegy in a Country Churchyard,” and ether favorite productions of English verse. It is now §ssued in a forma which enhances the ettractions of the original, and will doubtless find sn appreciative welcome. We have received from the sawe publishers the illustrated edition of Dr. Holland's popular New-England poem, Bitter Sweet,” which won such wide favor on its ongi- Jal appesrance ina lca dress, and which is now embel- ed with an excellent likeness of the author, and a va fiety of appropriate and weli-esccuted illustrations. Hurd Houghton bave issued handsome edition of Milton's Paradise Lost,” with brief explanatory notes fotended to elucidate obscure terms of expression, and difficult points of mythology, history, and geography. It bas reference paitiouarls to a class of readers who can relish Milton's poetry, fut who are without svcess to eopious sources of reference. The edition bes been pre- with the aid of Professor Torrey. of Harvard Uni. rsity, The same publishers have issued a convenient soa, well-printed edition of Moore's Laila Rookh,” with Wustrations from designs by John Tenniel. A little voluine of poems entitled Hopefally Waiting aod Other. Verses,” by Avson D. F. Randolph, challenges notice from the public by its depth and tenderness of feel- Ing, its fervid seligious sentiment, end the vein of strong domestic affection which animates its pages. The pieces are mostly of a devotional character, nud both in their turn of thought and manner of expression, betray au in- acy with the earlier English writers of religious poetry, e volume is hrougt out by Charles Scribner Co., aod in a modest dedication to the senior member of that Louse, recognizes bis friendly escoursgement 8 the mo- tive for its publication. An edition of “The New Gospel of Peace sccording to _ Bt. Benjemin” is published in 8 neat duodecimo volume by the American News Company. The publisher's adver- tisement prefixed to the volume contains some rather spicy goesip in regard to the vexed question of its anthor- p, which it seems still remains no less doubtful than shat other question, Who wrote Shakespeare's Plays?’ The extraordinary favor with which the successive issues of this r satire were received will doubtless be re- pewed on its publication in a collective form. The same blishers have brought out a reprint of Olive Loguo's New Christmas Story.” McLoughlin Brothers publish a collection of illustrated fuvenile books for the youngest children including Big Picture Series,” with colored engravings, many of them distressingly comie,«and a religious series called Half Hours with the Bible,” consisting of brief characters from the Scripture history.

Louis Napoleon” is the title of a portly volume by David N. Lord, maintaining that the Emperor of the French is not the Antichrist; nor one of the kne of monarchs represented by the seventh head of the wild beast of the Apocalypse. The author ruthlessly demol- jshes his opponents on that question, and shows bimsclt an adept in the romance of history.

Mr. Darling's Special Committee for the investiga tion of frauds in the Revenue Department bas ad- journed, to reassemble at the Astor House, New-York, after the holidays. Developments so far more than fulfill the promises of those who instigated the inves- tigaties, The Committe has legimed that gigantic frauds bave been Ped in New-York, and thyl Government officials are implicated. They hav~ gis. covered that there are over 3,000 sms Gistilleries carried on in the city, in the tela” and outhouses of private dwellings, where whisky is made for the pur- pose qf gvading the tax of §2 per gallon. Among the witnesses examined Were several coppersmiths, who testified that the demand for such vessels as are used for illici% distillation in these private establishments has ‘seen unprecedented during the past year. Mer- tints testified that they bad purchased whisky for $1 75 pet gallon, or 25¢. less than the Government tax, and the proprietors of large distilleries told the Committee that they could not compete with the smugglers, and had in many instances to suspend work entirely. One of the objects in view of the Committee, be- side the detection of frauds, is to devise some system of legislation to prevent future frauds. A majority ot them are in favor of a reduction of the tax to an amount too small to induce such evasions as are now practiced. They think that by reducing the tax to 50 cents,or a little more, they would close up all the small establishments, which are the only ones iu which frauds can be practiced without the fall knowledge of Government officials, as 50 cents a gallon on the small amount that can be made by them wonld be too small an inducement for the risk it inenrs, No con- clusion, however, has been arrived at on this subject, The Committee will visit the principal cities of the West, when they have concluded their work in New. York. The magnitude of the leak they are endeavor. ing to stop may be judged from the fact that, accord- ing to the census of 1760, the amount of whisky made in the United States was upward of 90,000,000 gal- Jong, and by the last report of the Revenue Comuis- sioners it was less than 10,000,000, There is considerable excitement in official circles here, growing out of the gigantic whisky frauds which have been perpetrated in the 111d Congressional District, Brooklyn. United States District-Attorney Tracy, Eastern District of New-York, is here and in consultation with the authorities regarding the matter, it is a practice with Judge Magruder of Ann Arundel County, Md., which seems, from its general adoption, to have been maturely considered and per- manently determined on, of selling colored men when- ever opportunity offers, Under the Maryland Code, supplement to vol. 1, page 33, article 340, section 6, colored persons are sold into slavery for the punish. ment of crimes, for which white persons are sent lo the Pevitentiary, but, ander the Civil Rights act, it is a question easy of rolution, whether Judge Magruder has the right to discriminate against colorin this man- per. However he may subject himself to indictment before a United States Court, it is neverthe- less true that he bas taken every occasion which offered in the present term of his court to declare in favor of a liberal construction of the law in ‘favor of the master, It is due to him, however, to state that the colored prisoners sometimes petition for this class of punisament, in preference to being sent to the Penitentiary. The priconers rarely sell for enough to pay the expense of trial, as many of them rn away as soon as sold, and it is Likely to be a losing business for the purchaser. The following 13 a copy of a bill which 1s now posted on half the fences and dead walls within a mile of the place of sale: Pi otic Sank The undersiencd will offer for sale, at the Court- House door in the City of Annapolis, at 11 oclocka m on Saturday, the 220 of December, a negro tasn n wed dno.

The follow- ing is an extract of the code referred to: When any negro, whether free or slave, is convieted of any offense, the punishment for which. it he were a white man would be confinement in the Penitentiary, such negro shall be sentenced to be sold, either in or out of the State as the Conrt may deem right, or to be conlined in the Peniten tiary for such term as a wiite man would be confined for the same offense, or to reecive any number of lashes, not exceeding forty, in the discretion of the Court. C. 8. Bundy, a claim agent in this city, has been debarred from all intercourse, official or otherwise, with the Pay Department tor alleged mispractice. Another case, occurring under the oppressive ap- prentice laws in Maryland, has just been made public mn Calvert County. Early m 1865, a colored mau pamed John Lox, was sunumoned before the Orphan's Court for the purpose of having his children bound out. He refused to give his consent to have Lis chil- dren taken from Lim, and produced abundant evidence of his ability to maintain aod educate them. Judge Bond, before whom the hearing was had, refused to apprentice them. The former master of Lox’s wife, a Dr. Duke, subsequently appeared, made the necessary affidavit, and secured the children. Upon this, Lox procured legal advice, and his children, uiider some process, were returned to him by the County Sheriti. The father bas now been indicted by the Grand Jury of Calvert County, upon the oath of Dr. Duke, of harboring and enticing his own children from their master, even though they had been regu- larly delivered to him under a writ of habeas corpus. A communication Las also been received from the Superintendent at Annapolis, Md., stating that seve- ral cases similar to the above have occurred in that vicinity. A number of cases were before Judge Bond, in Baltimore, a few days ago, who returned the chil- dren to their parents; but the order of the Court was obeyed in one case and attachments have been issued in the others. In one case Judge Magruder decided that the writ of his Court took precedence of the pro- ceedings in the Criminal Court. The Superintendent HAVE: The present state of the law is very lexing. Until it shall be decided whether replevio will bold in these eases, no children are safe unless they are removed from the country. Severs) cases now on hand have been delayed by counsel for the waster, but are now fixed for trial on the 27th inst.

The extent of land to be set apart for the use of the Commission is 31 acres; tho intelligence, however, which reaches the depart. ment ocoupied by this particular subject lead to the belief that the extent of 51 acres will be inadequate to the demeuds of intending exhibitors. If a larger locality can bo obtained, well end good, but as ths is highly improbable, sccing the great ditlienlties presented in the search of land offering the necessary requisites, the end will be that the associations of agricv!- tural e@upctitors must be somewhat reduced. Agri- cultteral improvers and machinists will have. as the saying is, 10 cut their coat according to their cloth, The princi- gol advantage of the Isle of Billaucourt for the object in question, is ils vicinity to the Champs de Mars. Xo plot of land of similar extent, equaMy accessible is to be found. As to the extent, the system of infinitesimal propriotor- ship reigning in France, is nowhere ore ex- emplifiecd than in the immediiloe noigaborhoed of Paria. This is sufficient to account for the extrame diffi- culty ia obtaining tae necessary uumber of acres lying together. As to the particular situation of the Iste de Billancourt with regurd to the Champs ds Muss, nothing can be better. Not only is it suthciently uear to render the time occupied 1m resching it a watter of no considera- tion, but it muy be reached both by carriage along the bak of the Scine, or by steamboat on the Seine its Af, Porsous disposed to criticise the arrangements of the Imperial Commissioners, afiiim that those arrangements contemplate wo large an appropriation of space in the island to such purposes as botels ‘restaurants, and even places of amusement, Not having the means of knowing exactly what are the final decisions of the Imperial Com- migsion as to tha distribution of space, I cannot pretend to form aa opinioi on this much-debated subject; but it must be borfein mind that the experiments in agricul: ture and tLe trials of agricultural machinery are intended to attract the attention of the masses, and that ont of every 100 persons who will visit the Isle de Billancourt perhaps not five will possess any but the most shadowy notious of agriculture, and that consequently, in tho attempt to popularize the subject, the element of at'ract- iveness inust be kept in view. instruction with amusement is, in point of fact, the ten dency of the diy, and we everywhere find subjects, more of less dry and dhstruse in themselves, taken up by large pambers of cager students, merely by reason of the pleasant mode in which they are preseuted by popular profoasois. Aunoi. the various buildings arisieg in the park of the Champs do Liars none are in ro advanced state a8 those which the Governments of Egypt, Tums end Morocco are erecting. '1he buildings in tic Egyptian department are, it will be rouembered, three in number. They consist of the scrapuionslr exact copy of the Temple of Borrhag, one of the most remarkalde specimens of early Pharsohsio art; during his visits to the Exhibition: anda specimen of the ordinary dwellings of the Fellahs of the country, with stables Tor cromedaries, and othor objects illustrative of Egyptian everyd:y life. In the Morocco department we are promised, in addition to a sort of retrospective mu- seunn filled with specimens of early Carthagenian art, nu- merous articles of modern fobrics at present in use in the country. Among ticse mention is already made of farui- tn Tiusical instruments, stamped leather, saddles, bridles and other Lorse furnitnre, tissues of various sorts, imens of the costumes in use by every class of the people, jewelsend pottery. Nutive workinen will be brought over, who will cxercise their different erafts in public, while the drinks peculiar to the country will be sold to all comers in a tent of native construction. It is stated that both the Viceroy of Egypt and the Bey of Tunis have advanced considerable sums of money for the execution of the work connected with their respective departments. It is inte. resting, amid the accounts which reach us from the United States of the preparations there making for¥he Exhibition of 1867, to look back to the cotalogue of the London exe hibition of 1862, and to glance one’s eye over the poor twelve pages filled by the recapitulation of the Ameri. em dopsriment; thére is uot wuch to dwell upon. Among the urticles whieh have left their mark iu the march of improvement we bave first and foremost Me- Cormick’s reaping and mowing machine, and the sewin machines of Wheeler Wi'son, Willcox Gibbs, au others Beyond this there is Little to note, if we except the samples of starch in Class 1V., Sickles’s stenmasteering apparatus in Chess VILL, and the pianos of Stemway song iu Class XVII. To tarn from the past to the fatare, I hear tho application for space in the United States Departinent, whethor in the palace or in the park largely exceeds the quantity it will be in the power of tie United States Commission to award. Bui let not tending cx- hibitors be wtimidated by this intelugence, I believe I am fully justified iu stating that ro article of whatever di- mensions sent over to Paris -pext year, need be hidden away for want of a locality in whicli 1t may be submitted to public view. I shall siortiy be in a position to enlighten your readers on this sunject; Tor the present I content my- self with repeating thet space, official or unofficial, will Le provided for the public exinbition of every article which ean possibly be scat to Paris from any part of the world 1 believe one of the classes in which we are expected to yunke a first-rate figure is lass No. 37, in which fire-arms sud aries of every deseription are ineluded. It seems that alrcady Europe is becoming, as the French say, ‘ributary, to a coiain extent, to America for fire-arms. Au instance of this is found iu the fact, as stated here, that an ordor for 30,000 bLieech-londers hus been given by the Swiss (overnweat to a large fem in the United States, which has engaged to excsute the contract in a fabulously short time. A large arrival of goods for the Exhibition is noted at the port of IMavre from Sweden. They eonsist of a con- siderable uuwher of articles for the inside of the paluce, the gla cuses for the same, made at Stocklolm, and sous model Swedish cottages to be erected in the park, Seven Swedish workmen have arrived by the vessel which brings them, who are to erect the buildings in the park, amd sub- sequently to arrange the goods for show in the paldce. Two small steamers have also come over, similar to the steamers used for passenger traffic on the lakes of Stock- holm. The goods are to he placed on board lighters, and towed up the Soiue by these steamers, They wil tifus be suded directly in front of the Champs de Mars, It is stated that the steamers will remain durine the Exinbition, and run on the Seine with the other French passenger steamers A notice hud been some time ago published informing exhibitors that the Ewperor und Kmpress wish to reserve to themsolves tho'r entire 1dherly of selection of articles sent to the exhibition, sod that they will not purchase pny scticles which shall be marked with their ciifye without their consent, The Moniteur of the 15th inst. somes ont more officially and pointedly on the subject. {t says: “The Emperor and the Empress have again sxpeessed their intention of not allowing any object rent to the Universal Exhibition of 1867 to be placed under their paironage.” It is known that the Monarch of the Deep, the Great Kastorn, has been taken by a French Company, at the head of which 18 Mr, Despeches, and is to be freighted for running between New-York snd Brest during the exhibition.

The partisans of Cherbourg as a poiut of departure and arrival for Transatlantic steamers, assert that this port is more advantageous than Brest, uot only on account of its shorter distance from Paris, but because its roads are more accessible than thoso of Brost, and the depth of water iu its harbor is greater. It is admitted that Brest is nearer to New-York than Cherbourg, but the difference by sea is more than saved by the shorter land journey between Chesbourg and Pads, while the French coast toward ‘herbourg is described as having many advantages over that toward Brest on the of safety.

Pans; Nov. 23, 1866. The Moniteur, Journal Oficiel de ?Lmpire Francais, is not what you call an enterprising newspaper. Yester- day it published, in the way of latest news from Mexico, that Marshal Bazaine had left the City of Mexico the 2 of October and reached Buebla the 4th, the object of his journey being to see the state of things with his own cyes and “to calm the fears which the efforts of the dissidents wero aecking to spread through that distract.” and that Gen, Castainean had reached Vora Cruz the 12th and left for Mexico the 13th of October. The Kuropean public, Frouch alroadly been in possession for {oar days of Mexican news up to the 224 October—the news that Maximiian had re- linquisned the heavy erown andthe light treasury of that Empire whose movable frentiers faithfully follow in advance and retreat the protecting shadow of the French flag.” Secing that this news came by way of tho “enterprising” New-York pess, there was a Suspicion that it might be a little over-colored, a little ahead in chronology, aud tho public was little curious to know whether it was a conclusion a priors or a record a poste riori. Nobody questions tho goundness of the in- ference; wost people accept the essential truth of the record. The queer feature is thut Goverment which should be and Is confidently supposed to be pretty well informed of the facts in the case, oth from 1ts Mex- ican and Washington correspondence received since Mon- day last, utters no official printed word to satisfy this cu- riosity. It acts in the ease as cortain other Government we know of was used to act a few years ago in Jeshuet to news of battles lost—retaining, restricting oflicial re- ports, and denying the truth till after it had reached the whole world through unofficial chennels. Ridiculous as it 18 to officially publish, as latest Mexican nows, such fragmentary notes of ancient history es fill a eolumnn in yesterday's Moniteur, the repngnance of the Twperial editor-in-chiet, and of the discordant Ministerial assistant editor of that sheet, to promptly put to print the proofs, come thick as late, post with post, of the primary folly in design of the continuous costly blundering in prosecution and of theutterly hopeless, condamnable issue of the Mexican Expedition is natural if not reasonable, Sturted on the base hypothesis that the United Stetes were fated to disunion, and on the other erroneous hypothesis, that the base Mexican in. tricnants said sooth, when they deceived the willing Euiperor into the belief that the mass of the Mexican peo- Je wero Latin-raced and would receive his irftervoning army of a few thousand strong with open and sustaining {and remunerative) arms and purses; defended and apolo- gized for each succeeding year, by be talking minister be- tore the Corps Legislatif with arguments and promises in contradiction with those of the preceding, and contra dicted by those of the following year; represented his- torically ‘a8 often as once a week for the last four years in the coliunns of the official Monifeur as a series of con- tinuous triumphs, each in turn finally conclusive; a superflation of definitive successes—a phenemenal family of still-born heirs+to Groat Expectations; acco. panied by its Imperial authors celebrated attempt to ene gage England and Russia to unite with France in en in. tervention in our domestic quarrel for the patent end of breaking us in two, and so playing one fragment against tho other to the profitgf bis New Colony Kinpire in Mex- jco—und by his other two less cclebwated, but equally con- firmed attempts to arrive at the same end—by Lis constant giving of {nfmoral aid and comfort throughout our four years of struggle, to the C. 8.

This Mexican expedition, started on such conditious, pursued on such conditions, and arrived now fatally to such issue, ruinous in all its parts snd purposes, comes home to roost more henvily weighted with misfortune, and dropping more dirt on its Imperial hatcher's prestige, thun any other one of ull Lis lately arnved mishaps. Napoleon's mistakes vod fail- ares in the Italian, D®uish, Polish, Prussian questions, he more or less shares the disgrace of with the French nation. A section, segmeut, or party, a more or Ivss re pounced sentiment of the pation went with Lim and, in his retreat, sympathized with him iu all these other ques. tions. No general natwne! sentiment, no interest boyond a purely it narrowly defined individual one, approved, supported, went with Lis steed personally devised Mexican raid against the traditional friendly relations that had always existed between us und France. This prestige of the Emperor, the political importance of which to his dynastic success’ it is dificult for most Americans te conedive rightly, has been most gmvely diminished since six months, Surely it would be gross exaggeration to say to-day that he reigns and rules, less by virtue of his approved capacity for reigning and rukng, than by virtue of the national characteristic of his Josts, the quite exceptional national passion of the revo. ationary French for routine, Were it my business to prophecy rather than report, your reporter would have stall difficulty in setting forth signs aid wonders patent here, which go ‘to show that Napoleon HI is Is throne is, to say the best of it, not more firnly based than was that of Louis Philippe on the 23d of November, 1847, at which date all respectable fos the world through insisted that he was the successhul needed French ruler. How thoughtful independent Rantipoles prevised another issue, and how nearly they were nght and the reputable, respectable Dr. Growlers were Wrong, old newspaper ‘fils and history teach. No: tell, reeord, don’t teach much. The theory of the French Government to-day is simple. The Emperor alone is responsible. To this singu- larly belated principle possible in practice is past tho ,owor of the Emperor, and recogniz everybody as at t vip partially practicable. His Majesty is getting now all the disadvantages that flow from the necessarily imperfect practice of such a thing. Let alone those of the Mexican, the responsibilities of the Prussian and Roman questions are weighing rather heavily ou hii. The Prussian question is merely a lake for the larger and extremely complicated question, which the Imperial army reorganization Commission have been hard at work there for weeks to find an economical, formidable practical answer to, Going up the Boulevard des Italicns yesterday evening I metMr. X. coming down the same, Hels a news. paper man, chief editor of one of the most enmuent of the half dozen out of tho twenty daily political journais published in the eity. “(ive ie, ob give me, a new,” quoth I. “Count on and be sure of this,” said Lhe that seheme of the reorganization of the wilitary strength of France set forth in La Presse of yesterday is the very one that is to be presented in the shape of bill to the Corps Legislauif. f an hour later I met Mr. Y., equally in position to be well-informed,” who assured me thai the Presse scheme was eminently not the ove likely to be ap- plied by the Commission. With profoundest respect for oth these gentlemen, and no disrespect to the Linperial Compission—from whose sessions hero and at Compidgne Tar TRIBUNE'S own reporter is sedulously exclided—I venture to say, without slightest fear of contradietion from future facts, that both wy weM-informed informants are wrong as to special details, and right as to the general conclusion; which is, in general, this: Military France will be so organized that its ruling cbicf can, at short notice, bring into the field million more or less of armed included, had yesterday men. 1 need not ‘add that, eut the blanket at which end they will, and embeider the seams with never so pretty de- vices, the new war blanket will be considerably more costly than the old one; and will not, cannot, prevent the ibly interrupted, but inevitably sure, fatal unification not “ramification,” if you please, O, amusing type-set- ter], of«the (Germanic nation.

From Gur Specie] Correspondent. Berry, Nov. 20. 1£68, The astorizbment which the splendid campaign wade by our army hes produced is indeed very flattering to the Nation, but it has unpleasant end even dangerous conse quences. That is, the military party mokes wpital for its interests ont of this recognition, and comes fornard with inconsiderate demands; amd from the favor which they meet from the King wo must expect evil. At this oment they want only money, but much morcy, not uly for the army in gencral, but for special gis to the Generals, in all, 500,000 thalers., If this demsud be eompa vd with the amount which, ux 1 stated 1m my last fetter, is progosed for the pay of officials and soldiers, it will be understood that it greatly diminishes the joy felt fomorr military renown. However meritorious the couduce ol the Army by the Generals has been, the sacrifiees which our soldiers are obliged to make in going to the Geld rom our law of universal military service and our Land. wohr-system), ere too great to be remuserated with a rise in daily pay from 6 to i couls, Besides, the Generals have made soldioring their husiness and this has paid them very well. We wre puinfilly re minded by the way in which the money is demas lod of an absolute monarch, ‘The sum is to be at the King's dis- position, to be given by him bow and to whom he pleases. At first it was proposed to include Coot B;smark in this donation, He had the good taste to decline, perhinps hoping to determine the Geneizls to a similar cone Aion. He was mistaken; the Generals want their mouey. La Chamber will approve this demand, however unpicasant to the majority, in order to preserve peace; but it wil Fobabl require to have laid betore i6 the uames of the jenerals and the sum which each receives, Apparently, the Ministry will consent to tls. But the admiration which other nations show at the deeds of ourmrmy threatens to be ~till more dunzerous to us. The military pasty will use it to prove that the eon- test between Government and people over eniey oiganiza- tion is decided by the trial to which the ary hes been exposed. The Opposition wver that shorter tern of zer- vice, at most two years, would make the reeruit a good soldier, so.far.as drilling makes (be soldier—that a longer tune of sorvice not only deprives the conntry of mueh of its working power, but 86 a'icuates maoy young men from civil cemployments, that they lose ul ielination for business. And alhough this dauzer, fiom the earneai- nessand industry of gur people, is Lot greatly to begfeared, yet another is more serious, nuncly’ that by this stiingent military discipline, the appreciation of ei il liberty and ind spendence will pe greatly wenkencd ainous the people, On this point the majorits ui the peo; le sre firm. Avceord jngiy this contest (over the teria of service), will reappear at the first opportunity, sad with always ie taken up by the independent public opinion, even thoi gh the londeps of the opposition should be ivelined to ainil the demand of iovernment., The opinions vl the Austiian and Frouch commissions, in respeet to he thive yeurs service, aro de- cidedy favorable to the Government. Of course in these commissions none was called on to represent populor frees dow, and the old Generals of the anaics doubtless expross their honest convictions when they say that the rengti of an army consist mainly in the nun.bor of is oid soldiers. In the French snd Austrian ermuics, as result of the substitute system, the greater pari of the soldiers, about four-fifths, cousist of persons who have served more than two years; indeed, from the number of sulsaiatutes in the French any, it may be said to be hail made np of such soldicrs, who have ull served nt least five years. Tho #rench, of course, think that this three-years’ teri of serv cc is so soort that it is doubtful whether scldicrs fu the Froneh sony will generally get off with that. And, in order 0 aval cou test on the introduction of universal neililary scicnce lke the present, Prussian into Franeo, they ia ther state that the Prussian army would not have proved so efhcient if theeGoverument had not carried thiougn the threc-years’ term,,in spre of the Opposition.

The lust campaian has, therefore, shown that such a long term of servic if not neéessary. The snpenoridy of the Prossisis iu the lest campaign congigtod, not iu their longer drilling, but in the facts that officers aud men had passed through a better school than their opponents, Accordingly, the French and Austrians wonld do much betwr in thelr new anay- organization, to introduce our popular schools and other edneational institutions, nud thus to imitate what we regard as.our weakest point, However, this aocorduoce of view between our military party and the French is very unploas ant, We haye just consideration for Ui Frenelh Army, and especially for the mintary education of their officers, Our military party is wecording'y sirengtioned by the French authorities at the very iwomeut when we hoped to bring the Government to diminish the term of service. We hoped it all the more becanse a Government meets great ditficultios in introducing the system of general mili. tary service in the new provinces, the greatest diflien'ty arising from the length of the tern of service. ‘Ihe first result of the announcement of this system in these prove inces has been an oxtensive emigration of the young men; and every emigrant ship from Hamburg and Bremen which pow lands in New-York, will carry number of young men from Holstein, Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Nassaa and Frankfort, who wish to evade Prussian military service, The Government has forescen this, and hus pre- per a measure tending to alleviate the servies for the otter educated cluss, and restrain emigration. The young Jeople who have attained the highest positions iu the jymnasis, and have prepared fF the so-called University study, have the right to get off with one year's service in cnso a voluntarily report themsclves for army service fore they reach the legal age of 20. The Government Las ordered an extension of this privilege in the Now Provinces; so that now the oung persons ‘of some wealth, who have generally attended the middle schools, may avail themselves of this voluntary reporting, even when they havo not row hed tho higher education, Thus recruiting is to be made easier in the New Provinces. The public opinion in these Provinces in regard to the Prussian wilitary system being quieted by this infaential class of the community, number of young men have determined to enter the army, who would otherwise baw avoided+it by any pretext, even b emigration, Thesé so-called volunteers of one yegrs service are fron regarded in Gennany as oceupfing an hooorabls position. They not only have a shorter torm, butsin the drill are treated with the forms common in good society. They enjoy a much easier service, and usually “mingle with the officers of their corps. After their one year's service, they can, if thoy choose, euter the Landwehr as officors. ‘Ihis measure has dlready had the-desired effect, since many young mon in Holstein and Schleswigthave reported themselves for the ery. The donations to the Generals will not give {mmedist occasion to a uew conflict with the House of Delegates; but the claims which the military party have made iu tho matter are such that all hope of a permanent reconeilia- tion has vanished.

In this condition of it is very doubtful whether any ehange will be effected by the return of Count Bismark. The Count, in fact, will return to Berlin to-morrow, after the most con- tradictory toports as to his health and his relations with the King had issued from those nearest him. On tho one hand it was seid that his health was as bad as cover, that he could remain here only a short while, and that he must during this time be kept from all excitement and exertion. It is hard to see how, with his temperament and position this will be possible, when he is once here and has resum his work. On the other hand, this is considerod as in- directly advising him to resign. The fact was much spoken of that the King bad at last detinitely declined the conditions of internal and external policy which Count Bismark had Isid down efter the conclusion of peace. end it was said that the King would meko no difiiculty if the Count again offered las resignation, The report was con. ligwicd by (ho fact that the Minigterial jourme!, which Las oeivad its inspiration directly from Bismark, de- nies it, without saying that it was entirely with- out grounds, 1t may then be coucluded that Count Diss mark will not now resign, but will continue to work with bis old eolicagues in the old wayas well as be can, iis ad- hereuts thunk that the compromise between him and the present Ministry will be of short, duration ouly. As scon 4s ho has regaired his fluence with the Kiug (and, with rezular intereourse with Lim, they bope this will not be long), ke will accomplizh the change of person which he has for months desired, I fear that here people deceive themselves. Aho King 18 indisposed to yuake such changes, and is perhaps not free from joclousy of the position which Bismark has taken, especially abroad, Be. sides he hus now favored the plan of convocation of the German Parliament. After the war he was determined to the policy of keeping to his promise of calling a Varlia- ment, but he has less purpose than ever to make any eon. cersion by the step to rej regentative government, or a8 it is here called, Perliamentisw, Indeed I fear that Count Dismark will now without difficulty yield to the will of the King.

But be wil uot go further, and will not humble any farther the princes who remain; still less will be per- mit their bymilintion by a Parliament, provided they put their littie armies at his disposal. He certainly now shows special disposition in personsl intercourse with the Princes.

From Our Speclsl Cuitvspondent. VirSyn, Nov, 27, 1866. The different Diots are nasser bled throughout the Eme« pire. That of Lower Austria, conscious that there is no time to be lost—thet time now 18 not merely money but existenco—has set to work ut once, und to-day begins the discussion on the address so the throne, The address itsell is already composed: a bold, plain-spoken, clear and fearless exposition of the state of the mouarchy, with a demand Yor the only remedy that ean help to re- store confidonce, and thus alleviate the evils which weigh vpon the nation amd make it helpioss. After thanking the Emperor for his recognition of the patriotism and devo- tion of the iuhabitants of the Arci-Duchy, and giving assurance of the continuence of the sue feelings, allusion is made to the journey of the Emperor tu alleviate the distress in the districts visited by the war. It goes on to say that, in spite of the brilliant victories by sea and land in Italy, the heroic courage of the troops of the Nowh Army ways still unable to prevent signa defeat and the expulsion of Austria from Germany. It speaks of the evils which, foreseen by the Dict and alluded to in the address of the last session, have come to piss as was fore- twld, and adds that, if the humiliating result'of the war is not wloue to be imputed to the sbeyance of the Constiu. tion—the wet of members of the presout Ministry —it still fingt be denied that the dissentions snd iuere weak om ich havo ik themselves sinee that act, well as the Pessinmbst fool ng that Las token possession of the fopulal on, have been profited of by the enciwies of Austria. That the Joliet pursued bas depnved the coun- try of that yon organ which.in a moment of danger, was p= ealeulnted to fnspire confidence, to give'strength, and un a struggle for om to call forth a general rising to pd the wgiressor. 0 80 uch desired compromise with Hungary, to at- tain which the German and other provinces were deprived of their constitutional rights, is not one step nearer ac- complishment, in spite of the sacriflos which bas been made, Des ney and mistrust have, however, grown with a rapid growth; mistrust of deedless Government that, untrammeled.” pursued its fatal course. The de- sire of the Emperor to alleviate by generous gifts of money the sufferings of the Jo ulation where the war raged, is spoken of with grat al recognition, ‘*butit is pot material help only which tho land and the monarchy is in need of. o necessity for collecting and concen- trating tho Suily-ivutai sping strength of the Empire, of giving life to the industry of the lund, and of awakening a belief in a truly constitutional formation of the State, and thus giving confidence in the future, is what all the faith- ful subjects of your Majesty have in view; aud only in the most speedy restoration of a coustitutional state o things do they see a means of salvation and for attaining the pa- ternal object of your Mejesty.” while the representatives of the peopls speak thus openly, while every day leading articles appear in the journals, written with a freedom not to be surpassed in Liogiand or America, several small newspapers wero cons lscuied last weok (or observaijons weamisely barmloss. over the river was but the first One was confiscated for merely giving the history of a youth brought up ia Jesuit college; yot another passed muster, containing a parody of the German watchwan's song as follows: Hark, neighbor, hearken, to what I way: The Jesuits know what 's the time o' day, Put out your light, make haste about it, Yor now in Austria we can do without it, and so on in like strain. It is kpown as uo certainty that Russian and Prussian agents are busy in Hungary, This cirenmstance naturally tends to foster the desire for total separation from Austria, though what is to become of Hungary when this takes eos Jem ata loss to tell. The hopes held out to Bo. femia by Prussia for a realization of the national wishes, raise also the expectations of the Magyars, and retard that settlement of the pending difficulty which for both parties is so ardently to be desired. The tactics pursued by the different parties in Hungary show they keep in view the idea of separation. But the time for it being dependent on foreign events, the deliberations must be spun out as much as possible. The debate on the addrees presents an excellent means of wasting time; while the deliberations of the Committee of Fifteen prevent the Government from breaking off the negotiations,” Thosthe Presse. The same journal observes: The events of the last year havo givon evidence in bloody, gieantic characters, of the superiority of ‘a firm construction of all the powers of the State over a frittering away of the sane by s division according to lands and provinces; they have shown that a State which identiflos ite diffrent people with itself, without gromting to one a privilege nat shared by another, but whic unites all hy like sights and like duties, 18 able to win the victory over a Stato that is twice as lurge, if the latter allows a race of 4,000,000 to decide on the destinies of anoifier six times as numerons, If the lessons which history teaches hed not corvineed ns, then the cannon of Chlum should inform us that oniy w united, free Austria bus any pros- pect of duration, of respect, nod influences,” id As if onewdiflionlty of gigangic magnitude were not suff cient, i revolutionary spitit has shown itself in Italian Tyrol. The imperial civil authorities hawe been treated with marked disrespect, and everything shows a disposi- tion fo sepainte from the Asistrian Empire. Hors, too, Boust has, it sees, ordered the most energetic mueaguros to be taken to put un stop to such behavior. In Pilsen a -profest has been dolivéied to the Bargo- master against an ordersidely issued by 8 eivie corporate body, to the eficet that in‘the public school of the town the Czech language is to be used in giving instruction. This, it is suid, cannot be sanctioned in 2 town with a mixed population, as it would leave the Gorman part of it quite unprotected, Whether tho protest wil avail anything is a question, It is, however, strange feature 1m the Government of Austria that it protects and encourages the uneivilized hordes which forma part ofthe monurchy at tife expense of thet population which has diffused culture, not only over the whole emnire, but over the whole of Europe, Ting, you sea, that in all parts of the empire there is erouch for pave relloetion—enough, too, to depress the most elastic epirit,” Perhaps it was such frame of mind as the situstion of the country induces which occasioned an advertisement lately in the daily papers here, 1 seize npou’it for'mention most gladly, as it brings a little humor into an otherwiss oppressively gerions’theme, “A lady of noble birth.” so ren the advertisement, **is desirous of entering into correspondence with a man of intellect, in order to cheor Ler spirit and*furpish food to her mind.” There is a siwplicity which is most amnsing in the de. annd, Dy the size of the letters in which the words of noble birth were printed, it is evident that this fact wus considered of weight, that it was looked on as a lure al- most irresistible, to attract the man of intellect” for en- Livening the noble lady's spirit. Not improbably the cor- respondonce of William v. Humboldt with ‘a female fribnd rose befyro her yearning soul,and made her long for connect®hn like that to which the affection of years, cherished in al sence, had given risen, The noble aa” thought, no doubt, she might command the time and knowledge of the men of intcllect as sho might command Loth in fbr coachman, and the privilege of intercourse with her ladyship would be reward enough. Nor is this supposition on my spart exaggeration, A lady whom I know in Munich, as good and kind a creature as ever lived, but with strangely circumscribed notiohs about what she calls “society” —meaning> ex- clusively her own set—and with ideas equally nebulous about men of science and their position ou the globe— once aid to me: **If these men” meaning the literary and scientific notahilitics whom King Maximilian of De- varia was used to assemble nbout him—* if these men would be but modest in their pretensions, we should net as all mind seoink them at our houses of an evening, It would be uke plfesant if Licbig, for example, wer to come foran hour or to and wero to sake himself agreeable. Ie might amuse ue, as I am sure he could, snd then, you: kuow, he might go. But all these men are full of pre- tensions; they expect todo trouted just like equals, and they don’t go, but stay the whole evening.” Such is the notion that a noble ledy” of Murich hes of the position of a Liehigz. It would” scarcely be erédible had it mot come under ny personel observation. The advertising lady is no doubt ops who also thinks that a Liebig or a Longfel- low might every evening be satisfied to contribute to the exhilamtion of the mind of a lady** of noble birth.” A caso of fraud and swindiing of the miost flagrant sort hos lately oceurred hove in what is called high life.” Count Kesse stadt, having led the life of the most profli- gute libertine, and rm through two immense fortunes inherited ecuseevtively from distant relations, took to cheating 08 th last rescuree for supplying himself with cosh.

However, for causes incon prebbosible to common mortals, the Emperor thought fit to renfit she sentences to onosyear—and even this term was pot passed in a col, bat in a confortable room, where the prisoner duly saw his friends. At the expiration of the year pumeronsercditors incited the Count’s release, to have yim ugwin arrested for debt, Returned to prison, he asked for a physician; wid the compiaisant doctor asserted teai the prisoner's healih required he shovid leavethe prison and go to the hospital, Fe was removed thither, and five hours ufter he had disappeared. Count Kesselstadt 1s very highly related, which acesunts for the misplaced leniency shown him by the Emperor. But such acts of clemency cause an ill-feefing; especinlly es in tbe present case the indiyidunl profiting by them 1s ono who from bis rare villainy dee serves rather that his senterce suould be made more in- stead of less severe, All relating to the army of the North is kept as secret as possible; iu order, ro doubt, to prevent the ineflicient state of both men and adlicers, from becoming more publie- ly kmown, of the telegrams from Benedek to the in Vienna are allowed to transpire, ing the imposstbity of fighting with such troops and such Jénders, He always said: Make peace, for with such an army we can do nothing.” 1 will finish my letter with a gladdening pibee of news.

Afl.irs at this writing have changed materiaHy since my'last. We are pesging through an unprecedented chap- ter in lastory, First, we will give the details of the affair. and then add onr reasonings, Last Saturday, the 24th inst., Gen. Sedgwick was officially informed that Canales, now in Matamoros, stated that he was unable any longer to control his trowps, and he would*no longer be responsible for the acts of the troops under his command. Gen, Sedgwick at ouve dispatehed Col. Perkins to Ca- nudes demanding the surrender of the city to the United States authorities. Oue hour was allotted to him to de- cide, and if the answer was in the negative he would ex- tend the timo to one hour more, when he should crogs the river with histroops and open fire on the city from Fort Brown. Canales at once surrendered to Gen, Sedgwick. The terms of the surrender permitted Canedes with lis whole army to romain in their fortifications, to retain their arms, and business was to go on in all its branches as usual. At 5 o'clock p.m, two dismounted compares of cavalry (Companies E and I, 4th U. 8. Cavalry), under the command of Brevet Brig.-Gen, McLou Withakd JAvat, on 0 Mur crossed the river in boats and too ps the p za and the Goyeruor's palace, and” s shed head- unrters, and the American flag was hoisted in front of the building. Late in the evening “*Geners] Orders No.1" were issued as follows: Hogrs, USTED STATES FORCES, MATAMOROS, Nov. 24, 1666, Purspiant to ins vuctions the undersigned Lereby assumes command of this exy.

Sedgwick somewhat mystified all feiss, Escobedo looks upon them as being ut tending to aid* him, but as the had not tojormed him of his intentions, to know how to act. Canales instantly seized the oppor- tunity to use it for his own benefit, and circulated s story among Lis troops that the Americans had come over to help him. On Sunday evening Gen. Sedgwick endeavored to have the existing troubles betweah Essobed, sid So jue sottled, if possible, and both parties broug gether for that poh Sy Canales was requested to be at headquarters at 7 o'clock p. m.

An hour was gpent in endeavoring to get them togetlier, and finally he sufeeedod, and tho twe chicfteins, the one a usnrper and an outiaw and the othey a regular representative of the Juarez Government and a General in its army, were face to face, For an hour, talked and gesticalated, Escobedo ins sting that hiz‘orders werg to take Matamoros and to send Canales to Chriushas for trial. Canales insisted that Juarez had no right te force a Governor upon the Jeopls of*the State of Tanmas lipas against their will, and without giving them an portunity to vote, and moreover he felt assured that if be surrendered to Fscobedo he would be shot instantly, Ne 3 odersianding could he wsived ui, both wera de carry out their orders and plans, After tho confi Fa a he party rotund to this eity, and of “ootrse en.

Sedgwick assured Escobedo ofithe continued friendship of the United States Govern ment to him apd the Juerez Government; that he con sidered himself as morally holding Matamoros under the terms of Col. Cauale’s surrender, but that it was forme hostile purpose as regarded the forces of Gen, Escobede, Lut to protect the honses aad property of American citle zens and of those of foreign nationaltics who would for protection, and that he would order the United*States forces to retire when tho attack was made by Gen, leeco- bedo, requesting Cen, Escobedo to notify the United States commander at what hour he woull attnek 80 that he might instruct the officer commanding the United States forces in Matamoros, and further, that he (Gen. 8.) might use his discretion as to leaving, say, men and two officers in tho plaza, the commanding of of the detachment to report Lis presence to Gen.

Tt fs well to state here thet one Carlos de Gargen, Colonel of Engie noers, Prussian, acted as interpreter on this occasion. Orders were now suppesed to have been igsued by Gen.

New-ORLEANS, Dee, 10, 1866. A great trouble at the South is, and must be for some pmo to come, that the people do not understand how to ase frec labor. They Lave so long been trained under different’ system that they find it hard to turn at once from physical to meral motives in the management ef wbor. They take to free labor awkwardly and sullenly in very many cases. ‘They will have to be educated to it; and often stern necessity and hard experience will be the sehoolmaster. Some will learn; some have already made good proficiency and are reaping the golden advantage; while others will never submit to the necessary process, isstate of things is pot to be wondered at, and should pe patiently considered by thuse who never lived under a of Slavery. But there are some signs of a favorable change. 1 gow ‘Some planters who from the first accepted the ahange, and entered upon the new system with a firm wo 10 give ita fair trial.

He favors the education of the blueks, treats them kindly, pr po well and prompily, and hae his reward, A South of such men would be already reconstructed. The public attention is-also being tumed, partly in eon- sequence of the poor crops, to tlie importance of a more warred industry.

In thc Inauguration prayer of Bishop Wilmer is the following appropriate pet «May the awakened spirit of patriotism which we il this day, not lose its power until prosperity shall ence more dwell in our land, ard our native energy shall dang wish no more in supine dependence vpon the industry of othe: climes, and our precious soil redeemed from waste andidostruction, shall yield more than is ancient tribute to olotho and feed tho nations, and to gladden the carth with the blessings of a hugh Christian civilization.

CONGRESS VERSUS THE CITY OF INGTON. WASH PRACTICAL NULLIFICATION OF THE LAWS—TAZATION WITHOUT SCHOOL-REPRESENTATION. Frota Our Special Correspondent. Wasnixatox, Tuesday, Dee 3, 1866, The refusal of the municipal authogities of Washington to obey the laws of the land in regard to colored sefwols, makes it desirable to bring before the public what those laws are, end the persistent refusal to obey them. From the very foundation of the city, it has been o (a- vorite residence for the more enterprising of the blacks, many of whom have accumulated fortines. They have paid taxes equally with the whites, but Lave been refused all share in that part of those taxes which was expended for common schools, So that the educational tax of 1) cents on the $100 wos levied on the black man Jopeity for the white man's children, ton lent Stephen A. Douglas $14,000 with floss Lis house, taking bond and mertgage on house and A black man of Washing. which w com- ot for security; but that lender, though paying hus full pharg of taxes, received no Peuetit of schools for kith or kin of his," When the Republicans obtoined full possession of Gay. y 1862, the municipal suthontics were eeivedfrom taxes levied ou the real and rsonal property in suid eity owned by persons of color.” 1t Was 4 reasons ble law that the common school taxes paid by eolorcd schools, ut it was whollyulisobeyed. For two jours, pot a, sem en e Hon.

Toe set was passed in June, 1866; the tax Jovy of the city was raised in August, 1804, and not cent was peld over, on the ground that the Rw could net apply to moneys raised the same yenr the luw was presed; por wus anything paid over in J1865.

But the white children went to school as usual, and sufficient funds were provided to meet the expenses, by raising the real estate tax from seyety to seventy-five cents, and b other increased taxes; then, witer they were raised, transferring them to the school fund. In this way the laws of the'land were nullified, and the $500,000 worth ‘of gropent Swed by blacks was taxed for the exclusive beuc- t of white children! Bul as schools cannot be earned on forever without raising funds for them, it wes determined to insert the usual percentage for school purposes into the tax levy thercafter, but so to interpret the law that the amovnt to be paid over to the colored schools shonld be as small as possible. The law is slightly ambiguous; it spealis of the [ropurtios of colored children between the ages of 6 and 7 to the whole number of children. The intention is evident: the context proves that it means the whole num- ber of children between the ages of 6 and 17; this is proged by the subsequent clause that speaks of white end colored children in proportion to the number of each between the ages of 6 and 17 years.” And.so the Mayor of Georgetown interpreted it; but the Mayor of Wash. ington so read the law that the colored chndren were to be counted between the ages of 6 apd 17; but ou the other side he puts all white children under the age of 21 ard all black children before the age of 6 and after the age of 17! 80 that all the younger and all the older chil- dren of dusky 1s:ue are Iade to count agrinst their brethren of the same color who are over 6 and under 7. By this interpretation he reduces the nunber of colored children who should draw school funds from 20 or cent to 10, and saves the city soure $18,800 a year. ut the Trustees of the colored schools, with a perverse. obstinacy for their rights which is very annoying to every true Washingtonian, Lave brought an action for these $18,800 iu the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, sud the law will decide the question some time the coming nter, When Congress came tegether the next session and heesd of the strange interpretation rade by the Mayor it enacted a new law declaring that itsJormer act should be so construed as to require the City of Washington to pay over to the teachers of colored schools such a pro- postionate part of all moneys received or expended for #Lool mr educational purposes as the colored children be- tween the ages of Gand 17 bear to the whole number of children white and colored between the same ages.” The Corporation Attorney has expressed 1he opinion that this act is prospective apd takes effect from Its passage. It therefore, does not, if bis opinion is correct, apply to the school fund of 1765, But on this question the Sapreme Court’is yet to be heard. The ecugus of 1860 showdithe number of colored child. ren between the ages of 6 and 17 to heve been ten and five- eights per cent of the whole number of children white and colored of all ages; and the number of colored children between these ages to have been 20 per ceut of the whole nuinbegiot children between the same ages. Under the Mayor's construction of the law the whole amount paid to colored schools is $14,205 72; the whole amount paid 1s $10,134 33; leaving the amount.now due £9,159 33. And this sum the Mayor 13 now ready tO pay; but under the other and more sensible construction, the pmount now due is $28,000, and this sum the eity will yet pobably be required by law to poy.

All the time Broadway is saying to him, “Isn't this the greatest city in the world ‘—s0 muc wealth, such vast prosperity.” Such is the song whieh the syren sings in the stranger s var, to which the enchinuted stranger roplies, It is; yea, verily.” “Then you stick to me,” continues EromTway, and you'll have no occasion to alter your opinton, if you don't ask too many questions.” Tie stranger, however, it be be in search of knowledge, in- deed. will ask questions, and, keeping his eyes and ears open, will earn thet he has been deceived—thut Broadway has wold Mn a deliberate lie, Not in regard to the Jrospoity of the metropolis, for that must be acknowledged not iu Te to the grandeur of the'eity, for that 1s slowed by all candid tour- ists: but in the impression wade on his mind that there is that supreme, universal happiness here whick drives ant all'sorrow, all poverty, sll heart-nches, all misfortune. He will learn that in the on:nibus the merchant and the despairing wretch who contemplates taking this very night a Gose of something” to put an ged to his miserable existence, oe «ide by side, and that, on the pare, the Fifth-ave. belle proacaades by the side of the shop-ginl, who makes a sorry effort to be Lappy, despite her poverty. The solemu-faced parson elbows the proprietor of the taro-bank the plain, modest, genuine woman couies in contact with the flaunting robes of Fashion s slave; the Sister of Charity 15 stared at by the heavily mustached roud whose day life spent iu banging about the corners of the street, aud the simple, unsuspecting girl from the county is follow ed by the wolf,’ who is Iving in wais to beguile and present Ler trom returning to that pleasant home, meny milesaway, which she batrecent'y left, with a mother's Kiss upon het Wp and a father's benedic- tion ringing like the voice of a gua wn-angel in her ear, Parallel with the splendor and the vice which is nichtly pre- geited on the thoroughfare in which of all others ot the city we New. Yorkers feel the most pride, there is a picture of pov. erty and suffering the contemplation of which cannot fail to make the heart hang Heavy in. the breast of him who has auy sympatwy for the poor and distressed. A fow days ago we looked upon this pieture—studied it tor several hours, and note the result below AtsNo, 2 Bond st, and but a few steps from Broadway, is lo- cated the office of the Commissioners of Charities and Correc- tion. 1t i% in a spacious building, whieh was formerly and for many years occupied as a residence by one of the first faan- ilies of the city. Pussing aloug an ulley-way widel runs on the southerly side of the bouse, we come 10 8 lurge door, which opens into u room where applicants for public charity are re- ceived and given sueh assistiuce they may seem entitled to, Through that doorway doy stalks u sufficient amount of mis ery tosfurnish incidents for n dozen books ou the #abject of bu mun wreteheduess. Every gaunt, squalid figure iuat presents itsel! in thet doorway is a ehapter of bitter experiences, mahy of which are darker and more revolting than the most terrible ever depictetl by the most faithful pen. Virtue—wretched in its poverty—amd vice—horrible, loathsome in its appearnnee— together preseat thewselves, and from the same handareceive that charity which keeps the wolf trom the door,” and that kind consideration which to them makes their miserable lives worth preserving o little longer. Iu a great city like ours poverty, is ever to be encountered in the street, with all Ler squalor and Sue is seen on misery, every corner; her voice w heard pleading for charity in every public place; her trembling ha knocks at every «oor: her tatters flutter in the fierce wintry wind; her eyes are ever Bled with tears, losher garret on cellar she sits erouchingwupon a bed of straw’ or rags. and frof ber heared, dismal window or murky doorway she sces, (cross the street, and within the sound of her voiee, the manson of the million. aire detined against the December sky, She hears the sang of glee and the shout of merriment: she catehes in ber hungry car «he sees and bears until hier very heart grows sick and the brain dizzy with painful meditations, Jt isan old saying that oue- ball the world kuow not how the other half live, "Those who know not what it ie to suffer hunger mul privation—whose homes are filled with luxury, mud over whose present bangs vo ber who wre hereditary paupens—iheir fathers and cloud of sorrow or misiortune—would be none the less rich in this world's goods if they would remember the poor. Charity is not only the greatest of all virtues; it is also the cheapest. If any person doubts its Blessedness let him visit, as the writer Las Gone, theoftice of the Superintendent of the Out-door Poor: of the city at No, 2 Bond-st., and learn that it “blesseth nov only him Who gives,” but him wiw takes.” 0% At the present time there ure nearly $00 families in this city who are dependent upon public charity for'support. These are provided with coal aud money, which arerdistributed to tiem tu a wost, judicious manner, and whith they are obliged to use most economically. Whenever the case 0F i poor person, need- ing assistance, is reported (0 the Super tendons, w visitor 1s forthwith dirceted to visit the residence of the applicant for public eharity. ascertain the nature of the cose and report #8 early as possible. For the Jurposs of making this visitation systematic, the city is divided into five district. ollows ¥irst Distriet comprises the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, Sib, bi sud Lin Wards, Second District comprives the 8th, Yth, 14th and 10th Warde, Third Distriet comprises the 10th, 1th, 13th and 17 Waid, Fourth District cowprises (he (6th, 18th, 20th und 2ist Waits, Fitch District comprises the 1265, 19th and 23d Waris There is one visitor for euch distriet, who, al this season of thea ear, is kept busily engaged ln the performance of iis duties Coulis given to tho needy in quantitios averaging about three- quarters of a fun to each beneficiary. Money 135 only given where sickness or inability to procure” employment renders «as: sistance of that nature immediately necessary. It isnot to be wondered at that, among so many applications for relief as those received by the Saperintendeut, there shoutd he-attempts at imposition. Trstances of this kind are not vn. common, hut the.report of the visitor who is called upon to examine into the merits of each case bat seldom tails 10 show the fraud, if there he an attempt to practice one. Not unirequently applicants for assistance are sent to the Ahoshouse, #nd many and curious are the devices that are prac. ticed wHb view to “bundling” friends into thal institution. On Wednesday last, daring our visit to the office, a very re spectably dressed, middle-aged man quietly stepped ‘up to the desk nnd desired to Lave a few “wordd “in private’ with the Saperiatendent. ‘The following conversation followed between the twy: Visifou—T Lave called to see if My,——- who is employed ja my Jacsory cannot have his mother received mito the Als ouse I’ Superintendent Does Mr, work for you Visitor—'"He does, Sir."

We will thank our advertising customers to hand 10 their Advertisements at 8s early an hour as possible. If received after 9 o'clock they canuot be classifiod under their rroper heads. EF We present our readers with a Triple-Sheet to- day, the supplement comtaining Book Notes, on the first page Fine Arts, Court Reports, a resumé of the forthcoming report of the Metropolitan Police Commis. sioners and other city news, and the Commercial news and Markets, on the eleventh and twelfth pages. The contents of the inside pages are: Foreign Corre. spondence, comprising lclters on the Paris &rpdsilion, from Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and Mevico, on the fourth page; and correspondence from Louisiana, Georgia, West Virginia, the Plains, and Washington, and an ar- ticle on Our Out-Door Poor, on the fifth page. The defense presented by Controller Brennan ap- pears to have so far explained his official miscondnct as to have drawn a statement from Gov. Fenton that his case does not require Executive interference. We print elsewhere a lettor from a special corres. pondent in Washington in reference to the education of colored people in the District of Columbia. Our readers will see that Mr. Stevens's resolution, intro- duced into the House of Representatives on Thureday, for the organization of free schools in the District, is offered none too soon. Congress has raised the salaries of its members and of the clerks of several departments, upon the ground that the increased cost of living demanded an increase of wages, With these precedents, the Com- mittee on Printing will scarcely report in favor of the bill to reduce the wages of the compositors in the Government Printing Office, and restore the ten-hour system. They now receive but twenty-four dollars a week, little enough we think, and less in specie than they were paid before the war. They have laid before Congress an argument showing the injustice of the bill, and we annot believe that such an unwise mens ure will be adopted. The appointee of the Mayor has not yet been able to take possession of the Presidency of the Croton Board; and it is proper that he should not. Yestorday he appeared before the water-policeman in charge of a passage near the office of the Board, and read him a record of the Board of Aldermen; but the policeman, if at all mesmerized, was pot impressed by the municipal mandate, and refused to open the gate. Mr. Bradley must now enter suit in the courts to compel the State's appointee to vacate his position, and another considerable sum out of the city's purse is to be wasted in a litigation which, in any event, is of much harm, and of no possible use to the city. Under appointment by the State, the Croton Aque- duct Board has been one of the few tolerable and trustworthy departments of the City Government. By reason of a supposed want of technical provision in the law, the Mayor claims a right to break up the Board, and substitute the very class of men whom it was the plain intention of the law to displace. The Mayor may lode his shit, but whother he doos or not, the city is sure to lose its money. The annual report of the Police Commissioners o this city, of which we priot an abstract, contains much that will interest the public and require the a:- tention of our Legislature. Even the readers of our police reports are scarcely prepared to believe that 97,587 arrests were made during the year, and that of 999 prisoners charged ‘with the worst offense known to the law. but 324 have been coavicied. The cost of the Metropolitan Police force’ which includes 2501 members, is roundly estimated at $2,500,000, Tho report bears earn- ost testimony to the value of the Excise Law, which the police have faithfully entorced. when the Board of Excise began its labors, out of 9,250 places where liquors were sold, but 754 had Now there are 5,607 taverns licensed, from lie opera- licenges, which the Board has received $1,103,924. tion of the law has been to a great extent obstructed in this city by the course of Judge Cardoza in grant- ing injunctions. Of the tenement houses the report gives an alarming account, stating that there are 4,000 without proper means of escape in oase of fire; a fact to which the recent calamities give especial emphasis. Is there any Assemblyman from the city who will urge upon the Legislature the consideration of these points, or must we again submit to its in- difference and neglect? At the top of the third column of the eleventh page of this morning's paper will be found the full opinion of Mr. Justice McCunn, in respect to the law of gam- bling. Wo referred to this matter yesterday. We now print Mr. McCunn’s opinion, in order that he may be weighed down under all the obloquy which ought to fall upon a mau who delivers such judgments from the bench. Nothing that we could say would be so damaging to MecCunn as what he can say, and does say. Public opinion holds gambling to be disreputable. Mr. Jus- tice MecCunn undertakes to interpose betwoen the offense and the public condemnation, shield of what he calls law. As we have more respect for the law than for Mr. McCunn, we prefer to keep our good opinion of the former, though it may oblige us to suppose that its expounder is either ignorant of, or willfully misrepresents, its meaning. “The spirit «of that gentlemanly system of jurisprudence,” says McCunn, ‘would not tolerate the idea that “a man, after taking the chance of “winning, should come into Court and demand a restitution of his loss.” Again: ‘I cannot see how “justice would be promoted by enabling a person “to recover money which he had fairly “gtaked and lost, &e.” In other words, Mr. McCunn thinks faro an honorable game, and strains the law in favor of the faro-bank keeper against his victim. In s0 doing, he forgets the traditional dignity and honor of the bench, in order to remember, and to remind the public, by what means he was cle- vated to that .place, and who are the constituents whom he feels bound to reward and protect. GEN. SHERIDAN'S EXPLANATION. Among the Mexican documents transmitted by the President to the House, in answer to their request, is the report of Gen. Sheridan to the War Department, giving his reasons for the arrest of Scilor Ortega, who claims to be the Constitutional President of Mexico by virtue of the fundamental law of that country and the free vote of its people. Seflor Ortega’s protest against the arrest is based, first, upon the wrong vio- lently done to him personally, in disregard of indi. vidual goarantees. Secondly—and this is the point that chiefly concerns the American people, upon grounds of international law—Le says: *1 “protest, in the name of the Mexican Republic, “whose powers exercise as President, against this said aot, because it imports an indirect interference by the «armed forces of the United States in the solution of “local Mexican questions. I again protest, as President of Mexico, against all acts which directly “or indirectly lead by forcible means to impose upon “the Mexican people, in the character of government, the factions represented by Mr. Benito Juarez, “o Lc.” Gen. Sheridan's attempted justification of the arrest rests upon these grounds: 1. That the acknowedged head of the Liberal Government during the recent events in Mbxico was President Juarez, and that Ortega had fled the country. 2. That Ortega, while in a foreign country, did as much as he could do to counteract thom [the events] by the publication of real or pretended rights as constitutional President of Mexico. 3. That this did not satisfy Ortega, but he resolved on an appeal to arms to enforce his claims, and combinations were formed at Now-York and Brownsville. 4. That Gen. Ortega was about to cross the line of our frontier, and was arrested on the same principle that the Fenians were arrested in attempting to violate our laws by the invasion of Canada. 5. That the American people have suffered in trade from the disturbed condition of affairs on the Rio Grande, first by Imperialism and then by foreign merchants in Matamoros, who set up such men as Canales and Or- tega. The admissions made by Gen. Sheridan strength. en the protest of Gen. Ortega, and are evidence enough that his arrest was a violation of international neatrality absolutely indefensible. Scior Ortega, elected to a high office by the people of Mexico, claims to have become the President of the Re- public, by the express terms of the Consti- tution, upon the expiration of the term for which Benito Juarez was elected. It is a question not of fact but of construction, one which belongs wholly and exclusively to the Mexican peo- ple, who, disturbed by the invasion of the French, have had no time to devote to it, and the authority of Seiior Juarez, who, being to a certain extent in posses gion, has claimed to hold over until a new election, has been more or less acquiesced iu. Seiior Ortega, although powerless to enforce his claims, bas not ceased to maintain them, and Gen. Sheridan makes it point against him that he has counteracted the efforts of Juarez by the publication of real or pretended rights as constitutional President of Mexico, and has looked forward to the enforcement of his alleged rights by an appeal to arms. It is not alleged that any violation of our neutrality laws had been actually done or attempted by Seior Ortega; but Gen, Sheridan, looking at the contest be- tween the two claimants for the Presidency, profors Juarez, as being, in his view, the acknowledged head of the Liberal Government, and repudiates Ortega as interfering with Juarez and with the interests of Americans; and so, on the same principle that the Fenians were arrested in attempting to invade Cana- da, he arrests Ortega as he was quietly entering Mex- ico with his Presidential suite and retainers. Gen. Sheridan suggeats that this was done ‘to coupteract these machinations, and to prevent our neutrality laws from being violated,” but no item of proof is given that our neutrality laws were being vio- lated, and the tone and character of Gen. Sheridan's report shows that Le expects to justify his action on the other grounds which we have specified. Had Sefior Ortega been arrested for the crime of violating, or attempting to violate, our neutrality laws, the Gen- eral would have advised him of the charges, and the Government would have ordered his trial. Assuming that Gen. Sheridan has po better defonso than that be has submitted, bLe should be advised that he, and not Ortega, has violated the laws of international neutrality by intermeddling in the domestic affairs of the people of Mexico. The American Government is presented to the world in the position of violating at the first opportunity the pledges and principles which Mr. Seward, so long as neutrality was of importance to ourselves, unceasingly repeated to the courts of Europe. Our policy of non-intervention,” he declared, straight, absolute ‘and peculiar, has become a traditional one.” While the echo of our boastful devotion to this policy yet lin- gers in the diplomatic atmosphere, we celebrate our restoration to power by an interference with the 1

concerns of our weaker neighbor an act that is an open violation of international right and international courtesy. Our Government seems emu- lent disregard foe all law, except the wiih the Great Powers of u- lonz«of that inn law of the ail a9 oy rope too often betray in their intercourse with the lesser, The act which we are thus to denounce is indeed the act of Gen. Sheridan, but the re:ponsibility for it rests not upon him, but upon the authority at Washington from which proceeded his compelled instructions. The country well knows what hand is kept upon the helm of our diplomacy. Gen. Sheridan does not, in any letter which Mr Seward has permitted to sce the light, geek to relieve himself of his personal responsibility for the arrest of Ortega, Ho isa soldier, and obeys orders. Chivalrous to a fault, he prefers to bear the odinm of a policy of which he is probably not the author, but the instrument, He may well think he can afford to trust his own reputation with the American people, who honor and confide in him. But Mr. Seward’s popu- larity will not be much increased by the discovery that he is willing to saddle on Gen. Sheridan so much of his diplomacy as he understands to be a blunder. FOREFATHER'S DAY. The anniversary of the landing at Plymouth of the Pilgrim Fathers will bo celebrated to-day in many towns and cities occupying geographical positions ut- terly unknown to the sturdy settlers of 1620. They were men of far-sighted intelligence, but without a special prophetic gift it would have been impossible for them to comprehend the extraordinary results of their valiant enterprise, because scientific conditions were to enter into its full development, of which they could know nothing. It was more than a century after their day of small beginnings that Bishop Berke- ley wrote his often quoted verse, and when “the “star of Empire” had fairly struggled through the portentous clouds which obscured its rising. We know, indeed, that gomething of the in- spiration of an achievement which was to affect the destinies of the, world warmed the hearts and strengthened the hands of the first voyagers from Leyden; but their idea of political boundaries must have been somewhat insular, and they WMrdly con- ceived that they were founding a- Republic ordained to exceed in limits the possessions of Imperial Rome. There is something indefinite eve in our own antici- pations. We know that railways have well nigh abol- ished time and space, and that the steam navigation of the ocean has made all the emigrations of past centuries seen numerically insignificant; but as wo try to measure the future of our country, the wing of imagivation grows weary, and we are fain to content ourselves with mathematical approximations, and to abandon the search for precise and complete solutions of the problem. The Pilgrim Fathers obeyed literally the injunction of the great German poet; they knew the aim and reason of yesterday; they worked well to-day for worthy things, and they calmly trusted the future's hidden season, and believed with unquestioning faith that their children would eat of the fruit of the tree which in a sterile soil and under wintry skies they planted. Ve, too, in our own day, have been taught the worth and virtue of patient waiting, and the value of honesty and justice in public affairs. Surely, American bistory, from its dark and perplexed beginning down to its present brightening pages, is far from disheartening. It shows us that a people intelligent and bonest in their treatment of causes need not petulantly worry and fret about effects, that justice in the long run is the best poliey, that the steady every-day bravery which vaunteth not itself is more than a match for the headstrong rashness which presumes that every cause which is desperately defended must be a good one. Without eonscience in 1866.—TRIPLE STIER1. ANA ri Fr i D— with his whole heart accepted, the resent age has grown earcless; we are lukewarm, or we 8I¢ in- different, upon points which he esteemed vital; but is small credit to us if we are toleralt of error simply because we care little for the truth, We live in a latitudinarian time, and are very complacent because we burn and hang no heretics; but perhaps it may be worth while for those who are loudest and sharpest in their censure of the Puritans, to inquire what our chances of civil and religious liberty would have been without the institutions which they founded, and tbe fundamental principles which they main. tained, WHITEWASHING THE IDAHO, Dr. Dalton submits a report on the disaster to the forry-boat Idaho. He considers that neither pilot, engineer, firemen, nor deck-hands were to blame; but that there were not enough deck-hands, and here his story ends, without one word of direct censure of the ferry companies. Pilot, engineer, and fire. men could not, of course, leave their posts; the deck-hand who discovered the fire hal to find the hose; the hose being stowed away below, it required some time to hunt it and un- wind it; and as there was but one point of attach- ment for hose on each deck, and no hose at hand, the flames were soon uncontrollable. Meanwhile, the deck was deserted by its hand or hands, and the passen- gors left helpless; and, finally, when rescue did come, it was in the shape of a solitary deck-hand drawing a long hose, which he endeavored to attach and apply to the flames, with a frightful disproportion of means to the object. Had there been the usual crowd on board the ferry-boat, the rapid and uncontrollable siprogress of the fire,” says Dr. Dalton, would have “driven many overboard, and have resulted in serious “loss of life.” Nothing but what sailors call good luck saved the public from a most costly calamity, the extent of which would have been exactly com- mensurate with the helplessness of the boat. We have seen with what a reckless parsimony as to means of aid and prevention the owners of the Idaho consigned its passengers to the flames. Incredible as it may seem, there were but two men on board the boat who could charge themselves with putting out a fire; and these were so insufficient, “and their organization and training so unequal “to any emergency, as to render of still less avail the appliances for extinguishing the fire, and those for “affording assistance to passengers, such as boats and “life-preservers.,” But boats and life-preservers were, we believe, in about equal proportion to the deck- hands; so that, in short, all the guarantee that the owners of the boat could give to their passengers was just sufficiently below the minimum of precaution as to have insured, under ordinary circumstances, their entire destruotion, This report finds that the ferry-boat Idaho had not enough bands; but a just public opinion holds that the corporation owning these boats has neither heads nor souls. Under a less indifferent system for public security than our own, the officers of a corpo- ration that dared so to defraud and imperil the public would be indicted and punished, the franchises of the corporation would be forfeited, and its large privileges assigned to the care of those who would not make them the instrument of extortion, imposition, and wholesale homicide. THE LONDON REFORM DEMONSTRATION. The great Reform demonstration of the Trades Unionists of London, of which we published par- ticulars yesterday, possesses a significance far more striking than that of any of the other popular national affairs we now know that there can be no escape from national destruction, and by conscience wo mean a quick sense of the right and the moral courage which acts This was the fanatical” element in the Puritan character about which the orators and writers in the interests of slave- holding Lave made themselves so merry, many of these sportive gentlemen being, we are gorry to’ say, themselves of Puritan extraction. It is an unpleasant fact that even in Massachusetts, for too many years, it was held to be exceedingly disreputable to have upon it. a conscience in State matiers at all, it being quite forgotten that the Commonwealth owed its existence to an opposite system of political ethics. It seemed to be thought that the Puritans were noble men to write essays upon, to make fine speeches about, to be commemorated by diuners, aud orations and monuments, to fire the fancy of poets and to develop the talents of rhetoricians; but it did not appear to be understood by the timid con- servatism of Boston and Cambridge and Andover, that vonscience was the same thing in 1620 and in 1335, and quite as safe a guide for the grandchildren as for the grandfathers. When this scorn was thus practically cast upon the tombs of their ancestors, by a progeny at least inconsiderate, the desperate defenders of Human Slavery caught up eagerly the sophistry and the slander which were suggested to them in such an unexpected quarter; and then began, in Southern newspapers and magazines, that senseless and libelous tirade against tho Puritans, their works and their ways, which had not even the merit of a distorted caricature—those sneers at Blue Laws” which were never ehacted, at customs which never existed, and at opinions which were never entertained. No allow- ance was made for time or place, or age or cir cumstances, or the cotemporary and generally re- ceived opinions of mankind. A wilch was hung (or burned) in England long after the last execution of the kind in Massachusetts—but what of that Quakers were ill-treated in every land to which the spirit con- ducted them--but what of that? Religious persecu- tion went on briskly in England under that God-fear- ing prince Charles IL—Dbut what of that? It wasa fine thing for Laud to hang a Puritan—it was a frightful thing for the Puritan to hang a Quaker, in an ago when hanging was the realy resource of all courts, civil and ecclesiastical. It was nothing for “the merry monarch,” after the declaration of Breda, liar and swindler as he was, to eject from their homes 2,000 or 3,000 clergymen—it was a crime never Lo be forgotten, that the sorely-tried settlers of Massachusetts banished that excellent but uneasy gentleman, Mr. Roger Williams! Persecution for opinion’s sake can never be justified; but it must be remembered that in Massachusetts and in Plymouth the original colonists owned every inch of the land. Tt was bought and paid for at a price quite as adequate as that which was given for Pennsylvania by its founder, against whom no- body must say one word, The little farms, the strug. gling villages, the slowly-growing towns, were the absolute private property of their occupants; aud in a time of unusual commotion, when their settlements, for which they bad done and dared so much, might easily have been converted into a receptacle for all the spawn of England, they took upon themselves to decide who should be welcomed as follow-citizens, who should be treated as guests, and who should be directed to depart and never return under the heaviest of penalties. If we would understand the difficult situation of the Puritans in America we must make their case our own. Imagine an intruder forcing his way by dint of impudence into our houses, and informing us that, by a message from above, he was directed to live there at free quarters for the rest of his life! Imagine a naked gentleman stalking into Trinity Church in the very middle of the morning service, aud commanding Dr. Vinton, in the name of the Lord, to come down from the desk! The softest-hearted would turn persecutors at once, and the self-ordained apostle be consigned to the ten- der mercies of the nearest polico station. Yet it is for pro¥ecting himself, his ehurch from unseemly tur- moil, and his family from what he esteemed mortal heresy, that the Puritan is censured or reviled. eatherings which have taken place in different parts of the Kingdom since the commencement of the present agitation for the extension of the franchise. It was a demonstration that did honor to those who took part in it. It illustrated, in a peculiarly impres- sive manner, the true character of the British work- man; and it indicated, as perhaps nothing else could have go effectually done, the justice of the claim he is now urging on his rulers to a participation in the control of the Government under which he lives. Let us look for a moment at the facts. Pursuant to a preconcerted arrangement, the differ. ant Trades Societies of London met on Monday, the 3d inst., at an appointed rendezvous, whence they marched in proeession for several miles through a part of the west end of London to a given point. They assembled around several stands erected for the occa- sion to listen to their chosen orators, and to pass reso- lutions allirming their right to the elective franchise, and, consequently, to a voice in the government of their country, It is computed that no fewer than 50,000 men composed this procession, aud that there were fully 200,000 spectators be- side, most of whom belonged to the same class with the workmen, and warmly sympathized with the ob- jects of the demonstration. Previously to the gather- ing, apprehensions were freely expressed, by those who Lave no faith in the workingman, that tke affair would be attended with serious disturbances of the peace, and shopkeepers along the route to be taken by the procession were advised, as a measure of precaution, to close their places of business on the occasion. But the proceedings were marked throughout by the greatest regularity and order, and the whole affair passed off without a gingle breach of the peace. The presence of policemen even was rendered unnecessary, the workmen taking upon themselves the duties of a constabulary for the occasion. The roughs of London, awed for the time by the mien and bearing of those who formed the procession, held back from violence, and good temper and cheer- ful humor were the order of the day. Marshaled in their ranks, with banners aloft bearing upon them the insignia of the different societies, these fifty thousand men, all decently attired, marched peaceably through the crowded streets of the great metropolis, with a simple dignity of manner and a gravity of purpose that extoried the admiration of even their most stub- born and determined political opponents. As if pene- trated with a sense of the vast importance of the busi- ness they bad in hand, they seemed determined to give proof that in aspiring to share in the making of the laws, they knew how to respect the authority of the law, and how to uphold its majesty, The sight must have been altogether a most impressive one, and the demonstration has evidently produced a deep, and, for the class directly interested in its success, a very favorable impression, It is true that in certain quarters an unworthy attempt has been made to belittle the significance of this grand movement; but no eynicism, no sophistry, can possibly do away with the facts we have just stated, So impressive, in leed, are these simple facts, so forcible is their logic, that the parties who endeavor to depreciate this remarkable demonstra. tion, are compelled, evidently much against their will, to admit that the people by their excellent behavior have proved themselves worthy of some con- sideration, although not to the extent of granting all they ask for. To unprejudiced minds, Lowover biased in favor of justice, and capable of appreciating aright the lessons which such a display as London witnessed on the 34 inst. conveys, the matter presents itself in a very different aspect; and these are beginning thoughtfully and anxiously to ask, can the demands of a class of people so intelligent, so sell-reliant, so self-controlling, and so thoroughly in earnest in seeking what they believe to be their rights as the workingmen of England, be any longer denied what they now ask for at the hands of Parliament? A question like this can hardly fail to force itself upon all right-thinking minds; for, judging from the indications in the political sky of England, it is evi dent that the time for telling with the people of that country on the subject of Reform is past and gone To much that he consuienuously belioved aud forever. There is 4 deed woral in (his London de- te monstration which the présdit rlers of England would do well to lay to heart. There is an increasing boldness and sternness about the tone and language of the great popular leador, Jon Bright, and there is a growing enthusiasm about the way in which the maases respond to his elogneat appeals which bode no good to the Tories should they be unwise enough to persist in their opposition to the righteous demands of the people. Robert Lowe, as champion of the Tory party, threw down the gauntlet during the last session of Parliament. The challengs so defiantly made has been accepted by the insulted manhood of the nation, and it is clear that the fight will not end till one party or the other shall have been conquered. It requires no prophetic faculty to tell who will be the victors. 4 Ninety millions of gallons of whisky were made in tha United States in 1860, according to the census, while the last report of the Revenue Commissioners returned but ten millions, This enormous deficiency is not to be accounted for by any decrease in either demand or supply, but solely by the fact that the tax om whisky is now two dollars a gallon. The Special Committee which Congress appointed to investigate the frauds in the Revenue Department has work enough before ‘it; for even if we suppose that the tax has decreased the manufacture of whisky thirty mils lions of gallons since 1%60, there would still bo cause to suspect that the Treasury bas been defaulted of §100,000,000, All that we bave published of the frauds in this city is nothing compared to those undiscovered; yet the Committee has learned that there are three thousand small distilleries in this city where whisky is illegally made, and that Goverument Officers protect the swindle.” To complete its investi= gation here, the Committee will reassemble in Nows- York in January, and will afterward visit the prine cipal Western cities. The work gecms es endless as that of the Danaides; but even the iwpe:fect invqsti- gation, which is all we can reasonably espect, will save millions of dollars. Of more permanent im- portance is the effort the Committee will mako to reorganize the Revenue system, so as to prevent future fraud; but the discussion of the methods pro- posed is premature before their work is dono and their report submitted to Congress. That slave-sales are still common enough, oven im Maryland, to justify tho recent vote of inquiry by Congress, may be seen in our Washington corraspond- once. The negro announced for sale iu a handbill, which we recently reprinted, has been sold; and two ore are offered to enterprising bugors by Wm. Bryan, Sheriff of Anne Arundel County, each convicted of larceny, and *‘to bo “sold for aterm of two years in the State.” The Maryland code, which authorizes this barbarity, declares that when any negro is convicted of am offense the punishment for which, if he wore a white man, would be confinement in the penitentiary, ho shall be sold as a slave. The negro is, therefore, sold for the same reason that he is publicly whipped in all the Southern States—to save the expense of keoping, him in jail. This is a miser's reason for being cruel; and itis the shame of Mary- land that it has nullified the good work of its Unions ists by suffering this infamy to romain oa ils statute book. The evacuation of the city of San Luis Potosi, one of the most important towns of the Mexican Ropub- lic, illustrates the rapid decline of Imperialism, Juarez, at latest dates, was soon to leave for the Southern Provinces; and there is a report, hardly credible, that Marshal Bazaine had gone to seek him, possibly with a view of surrendering him the French share of the Government. Ortega bad arrived in Matamoros, and it was supposed would join Canales against the Liberal Gen. Escobado, ARMY GAZETTE. m—— BY TRLPGRAPT TO THE TRIBUNE.

STATE OF NEW-YORK, Expevnive DEPARTMENT, Arnany, Dee. 19, 1866 In the matter of the charges presented to the Governot of the State of New-York by Anson Herrick; also by Sevein D. Moulton agt. Matthew T. Brennan, Controller of tho City of New-York, I bave availed myself of the authonty conferred by Chapter 629, Laws of 1866, and conducted the investiga- tion in this case through a Commissioner duly appointed for such purpose, The testimony is exceedingly volumi- nous, and relates nearly to the entire period of the admins istration of the respondent. It is proper to siate that, while the proofs submitted to 116 disclose irregularitios in the discharge of his official dutie, in my judgment they fail to present a case which requires interference by tha Executive, and I therefore dismiss the charge.
