Also occupants of abandoned lands. Senate.—January 9. —Mr. Sumner offered resolutions of inquiry into the alleged kidnap §ing offreedmen, which were adopted. Mr. umner read _ a letter from a gentleman in Alabama, setting forth that the facts stated in the above preamble actually exist, and that Federal officers were among the guilty parties. Mr. Wilson gave -notice of a bill to increase the regular army. January 10.i—Mr. Wilson introduced a bill reorganizing the regular army, by which the peace establishment is to consist of seven regiments of artillery, ten of cavalry, and sixty ot infantry. The Senate bill, granting •negro suffrage in the District of Columbia was debated, but no final action was taken. Mr. Howe made a speech against immediate reconstruction. January 11. —The bill to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to appoint assistant assessors of the Internal. Revenue was taken up. Mt. Sumner offered a proviso as an amendment that no person shall be appointed to the office of Assistant Assessor without being required to take the oath prescribed by act of Congress. As, however, this is already a law of the land, Mr. Sumner withdrew the amendment, after having rebuked the Secre tary for violating it, whereupon the bill passed. The resolution for appointing new Provisional Governors in the South was taken up and debated by Reverdy Johnson. January 12.—A bill of amendments to Postal Laws from January, 1867, was intro duced. Mr. MorriUj of Maine, from the Committee on the District of Columbia, re ported the bill to regulate the elective fran chise in the District. It is the same as re cently presented, with the provision requir ing the elector to be able to read the Consti tution in the English language and to write his name stricken out. .January 15. —A joint resolution calling for the trial of Jeff. Davis and 0. G. Olay by epurt martial,.was offered. Also a resolution for a proclamation of non-intercourse with Great Britain, ..... House.—-January 9.—Mr. : Stevens was made Chairman of the. Committee on the Military and Postal Railroad from Wash ington to New York. The Senate was requested to return the bill, as it had been passed under a misapprehension. Mr. Voor hees, the notorious western copperhead, had the assurance to offer resolutions endorsing the President’s policy, and argued for the im mediate admission of the Southern States. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, administered a severe and well-merited rebuke. He repelled every inti mation that the Representatives here have manifested the slightest disposition to inter fere with the just prerogatives of the Presi dent, or to make' up a conflict with him. If the day ever comes when he will find no sup porters except those who in 1864 were buried so deep that the hand of resurrection can never find them, then God help the Presi dent, and save him from his friends. (Ap plause, which was checked by the Speaker.) January 10.—The Naval Appropriation bill was reported; the Committee on Ways "and Means was instructed, if expedient, to relieve. the tobacco manufacturers from the heavy internal revenue tax, and to revise the income tax; and the Committee of Commerce was instructed to inquire into the feasibility ■of deepening the channel from New York harbor through. the Hellgate. Resolutions expressing confidence in the President were introduced and laid over. The President was called upon for copies of the charges against Davis, Clay, Mallory, and Yulee; for information as to the Express Company ■organized in New York byMaximiliait. Vari ous resolutions were referred to Committees. The House bill granting negro suffrage in the •District of Columbia was debated, but no action was taken.- Judge Kelley made an earnest speech in defence of the bill, in which he asked if the returning rebels were given the right to vote, why should not suffrage be conferred on the colored patriots who fought for us ? The President had publicly said that if he were in Tennessee he would favor the extension of suffrage to black men, and so (die President would here, as he had assured him personally. He (Mr. Kelley) would never prove such an ingrate as to deny justice to the colored defenders of their country. He spoke for an hour" in defence of his posi tion, and pleaded the cause of die oppressed of all lands. _ January 11. —The Committee on Territo ries was instructed to inquire into the expe diency of reporting a bill to repeal the act organizing tjhe Territory of Utah, and to divide the said Territory, attaching one part thereof to Nevada, and the other to the Ter ritories lying contiguous. The debate on the suffrage bill was resumed. Judge Kelley said that when the Constitution of the United States was adopted, the free colored men of New Jersey and States adjoining, and all the •States in the Union, excepting South Caro lina, aud probably with the exception of Del aware and Virginia, in which suffrage was Tegulated by statute and not constitutional provisions, were citizens, and did vote to the Convention that framed the Constitution, and did v,Qte bn the question of its adoption. January 12, —The Committee of Ways and Means was instructed to inquire into the expe diency of repealing the internal revenue tax on paper and all Bibles, Testaments and other re ligious works, and school books used in col leges and academies. A motion, with a view to increasing the pay of members of Congress and employees, was laid,on the table, 147 to 5. The debate on _ the suffrage bill was re sumed. The galleries were two-thirds filled with colored people, many of whom were sol diers. Messrs. Grinnell, of lowa, and Bing ham, of Ohio, made some powerful argu ments in its favor, while Chanler, who glories in hailing from the Five Points district of New York, made a rabid and cowardly assault upon the whole colored race, and evinced just such ignorant and debased views as incited the New York riots,* whi'e the Union army was wrestling with Lee’s invading hordes. Messrs. Bingham and Gyinnell both scored him fear fully, to the great delight of the galleries. January 15. —Mr. Stevens proposed inquir ing into the expediency of modifying the test oath, so as. to remove restrictions on attor neys applyirig for practice. Passed—B2 to 77. Statements in regard to the removal of articles from the White House by Mrs. Lin coln were made. The subject is in the hands of a Committee. * THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1866. THE STATES. Massachusetts, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania furnished a tenth of their population to the army. Indiana and Illinois did more. Kansas gave 18 per cent. The large proportion of males in her population in part accounted for this surplus. • New Jersey. —The Legislature organized January 9th. James M. Scovel was chosen President of the Senate, and John Hill, Speaker of the House. The debt of New Jersey is $2,818,119. Maryland. —The Com Exchange of Balti more, has elected a disloyal board of directors. District of Columbia.—Nearly all of the parties charged with complicity in the out rages committed at Alexandria on Christmas day, have been arrested by the military authorities, and active measures have been adopted for the apprehension of those still at large. It is. supposed they will be arraigned before a military commission to be appointed by Maj.-Gen. Augur. Virginia.—The Stay Law just passed by the Legislature, has been so modified as to except debts contracted since the close of the war. North. Carolina. —The Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau says that most of the liberated slaves remain quietly work on the farms of their former masters, and but little vagrancy exist, which latter is more common among the whites than among the negoes. Georgia. —lt is reported that in the first three months of 1566, §>5,000,000 of cotton tax will be collected at Macon, Georgia, alone.——The Superintendent of Freedmen in Georgia has instructed his agents to com pel the freedmen to agree to labor-contracts when sufficient wages are offered. Arkansas. —A body of negroes on the Red River rose in arms about January Ist, and tried to murder their overseers, but failing in this, mbrched to another place and waitec reinforcements, but the militia nabbed them all without serious difficulty, and arrested their accomplices on the plantations where arms and ammunition were found secreted in quantities. Before this affair the freed men had refused to work in that section. _ Alabama. —A special despatch to the Mo bile Advertiser, dated Jan. Bth, says that Gen. Thomas officially informed Governor Patton ■that all the United States troops will he re moved from that State, and arms and ammu nition . furnished to the State militia, and provision for destitute families will be fur nished to the State. The same "report comes from Georgia, concerning the withdrawal of troops. Per contra, Gen. Grant’s reply to the application for the removal of the troops is given to the Associated Press, Jan. 15th, as follows: “Forthe present, and until there is full security for equitably maintaining the the right and safety of all classes of citizens in "the States lately in rebellion, I would not recommend the withdrawal of the United States troops from them. The number of interior garrisons might be reduced, but a moveable force sufficient to insure tranquility should be retained. While such a force is retained in the South, I doubt the propriety of milting arms in the hands of the militia .” Gen. S wayne, Assistant Commissioner of Freedmen for the State of Alabama, reports that in some localities the planters have made strong combinations against - employ ing their former slaves, but'the slaves suc ceeded in breaking, them up. The average contract price for the labor of male hands is $lO per month, including quarters, food and medical attendance for the entire family. Female hands get $8 per month. The Commissioner estimates that there are in the State five thousand Northern men, for wliom the freedmen show a decided preference. The demand for labor in all portions of the State is greater than the supply. The steamer Lillie, loaded with Government cot top, was seized by outlaws in the Alabama River, and partly unloaded, when she was retaken at _ Montgomery by a detachment of the 21st Missouri. Tennessee. —The New York limes judges that one of the largest cotton producing States in the Union this year will be Tennes see. It says:—“ We see no reason why Ten nessee should not furnish half a million bales.” A school to accommodate one thousand five hundred negro children "has been establed at Nashville. Wisconsin. —During the war the State furnished 91,373 men, an excess of 1263 over all calls, and equal to more than one from every two voters. Lqjisiana.—An acoustic telegraph has been invented by Dr. Everett, of New Orleans. No electricity, and no poles are used. Missouri and Kansas.—A Kansas City, Mo., despatch, January 3, says:—“The an ticipated heavy spring immigration to this place has already commenced, the arrivals being greater than, at any previous time. Eastern capitalists are taking up business lots rapidly, and labor and material for building are inadequate to the demand. An Atchi son, Kansas, paper gives a statement of the amount of freight sent Westward, through that place in 1865: —“Twenty-seven firms and individual freighters were engaged in this trade during the year, and the aggregate amount of their shipments was .21,500,000 pounds of assorted merchandise, requiring for its transportation 5000 wagons, over 7000 mules and horses, and nearly 80,000 oxen, and employing upwards of 5000 men. Ov3r half of the freight went to Colorado, and the remainder to different points in Utah, Mon tana,Neva<}a, Idaho, New Mexico, Nebraska, and Western Kansas. The total capital in vested in this trade was over $6,000,000, and the value of the merchandise and machinery transported is not definitely known. The overland coaches, which leave and arrive here daily, have taken out and brought in over four thousand passengers, and ‘have also brought here $2,400,000 in specie, and have carried out forty-six thousand pounds of ex press freight. ” MISCEI,I,AX£»IS, Keeping the Sabbath.—Speaker Colfax left Washington late on Friday night, went to Poughkeepsie and lectured on Saturday night, and was back promptly on-Monday morning to call the House to order at twelve o’clock, without having traveled any on the Sabbath. This is a good example set in high places. Rev. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven, who has lately returned from a tour through the Southern States, says, in a lecture on their condition, that of all Southerners, the women and the clergy are the most malignant, and that he would have been glad if President Johnson had added to the classes excepted from amnesty, the preachers of all denomi nations and the editors of newspapers. Every one of them should have been obliged to file a statement of his antecedents with his application for pardon. The Freedmen in England.—The people of England are making large contributions in money aud clothing for the Freedmen. The Secretary of the treasury has directed the Collector of the port of New York to admit free of duty all invoices coming to this coun try from the Birmingham Association, Eng land, for the relief of the Freedmen of the United States. This association has been commendably active in its benefactions to the Freedmen, its last invoices, consisting mostly of clothing, amounting to over $3OOO. Chloroform in the Army.— ln the history of 23,260 cases of surgipal operations in the field and the hospitals, chloroform was used in sixty per cent, of these operations, etherin thirty percent., and a mixture of both in ten per cent. In general hospitals it was conce ded that ether was the safest. No fatal accident from its use is reported. In field operations chloroform was almost exclusively used. It was used in 80,000 cases, seven of which were fatal, viz : two rebels, four Union privates, and the case of Colonel McGilvrey, Chief of Artillery, Tenth Corps, who inhaled two drachms of chloroform for an excision of the finger. He died suddenly, before the operation was commenced. FOREIGN. MEXICAN AFFAIRS. From papers on this subject, laid before Congress, Jan. 9, we learn that on July 17th, of last year, a special agent arrived in Wash ington from Mexico, bearing a letter from Maximilian to the President of the United States, with papers making certain explana tions relative to transactions on the Rio Grande. On the very next day,the Secretary, after conference with the President, returned the letter, saying that the United States was in friendly communication with the Republi can Government of Mexico, and, therefore, that the President declined to recive the letter or to hold intercourse with the agent who brought it. November 6th, Mr. Seward sent a dispatch to Minister Bigelow at the court of Napoleon, remonstrating against both the French occu pation of Mexico, and the attempt to estab lish a monarchical form of Government there. Mr. Bigelow, under date of November 30th, reports reading the despatch of Mr. Seward to Drouyn De L’Huys, who thanked him, though he felt obliged to say that he derived neither pleasure nor ’ satisfaction from its contents. Mr. Seward, December 16th, says: “It is the President’s purpose that France should be respectfully informed upon to points. First, That the United States earnestly de sire to cultivate sincere friendship with France. . Secondly, That his policy would be broughtinto imminent jeopardy unless France could deem it consistent with her interest and honor, to desist from the prosecution of armeg intervention in Mexico, to overthrow the domestic republican Government existing there, and to establish on its ruins the foreign monarchy which has attempted to be inau gurated in. the capital of that countryand in conclusion, ■ says that the United States will not recognize Maxmilian, even if the French troops should be withdrawn from Mexico. There is also a confidential letter from Min ister Drouyn de L’Huys to Marquis de Mon tholon, dated Paris, October 18th, 1865, say ing he had renewed the assurance of the strong desire of the French Government te withdraw its auxiliary corps so soon as cir cumstances will allow it. The French Go vernment had been ready to adopt without delay the. basis of an understanding on the subject with the Government of Washington; what it asked of the United States was to be assured that it is not their intention to im pede the consolidation of the new order of things found in Mexico, and the best guar antee the French Government could desire would be their, recognition of the Emperor Maximilian by the Federal Government. Secretary Seward, under date of December 6, 1865, writes a letter to Marquis de Mon tholon, in which he says, after a review of all the facts, “ the President is gratified with the assurances you have given, of the Emperor’s good disposition. I regret, however, to be obliged to say the condition which the Em peror presents is one which seems to be im practicable.” Maximilian has been omitted from the list of Catholic sovereigns to whom the Pope sends the customary felicitations. News from the Rio Grande to Jan. 4th, says that the Imperialists surprised a small camp of the Liberals, killing twelve and caupturing thirty meD, who are to be executed by Max imilian’s order. Gen. Crawford has address ed Weitzel on the subject, asking him to pre vent the murder. The latter replied that he had entered a solemn protest against the act, but Mejia informed him that he was compelled to obey the orders of his Govern ment. Great Britain—Two regiments liad been sent suddenly, Dec. 28, to Ireland. The cattle plague is on the decrease. The rate of taxation will again be reduced. The London Times, in an editorial on Mexican affairs, argues that Napoleon will peaceably withdraw from Mexico, sooner or later, and urges America, for the interests of all con cerned, to quietly await the result, and ab stain from inconsiderate expressions on the subject. U. S. 5-20’s had receded to 64£, but closed at 65f. Dates to the 24th of December, say that further diplomatic corres pondence on the rebel pirate question had taken place. Minister Adams had informed the foreign secretary that England’s propo sition for a joint commission was defined by - our Government. Earl Clarendon says Eng land cannot deviate from her course, and that further correspondence on the subject will not do any good. A Eenian leader, Charles N. O'Connell had been found guilty of treason, and sentenced to ten years penal servitude. Sir Henry S torkes is formally gazetted as Capt tain-General and Governor of Jamaica,; pend ing the prosecution of certain inquiries. h Russell Gurney, M. P. and Recorder of Lon- Jj don, consented to serve as a member of the Jg commission. The 'limes says the appoint- (q ment of Gurney proves a desire on the part of the government that the inquiry should be conducted in the most impartial manner. Three Englishmen, Lord Alfred Harvey, Hon. Mr. Strutt, and Mr. Coore, had been captured by brigands in Greece. The two first-named had been liberated, Mr. Coore being retained as security for the ransom,- which is £l,OOO each. The Daily News points out that the ab sorption of American stocks throughout Eu rope, has lately been more extensive than was ever before known, and says this is one cause of the depreciation of English securi ties. France—The Independence Beige has been excluded from the country by the authorities. lt is confirmed that the' French govern ment resolves to withdraw from the Extra dition Treaty with England. The treaty ex pires in June next. Knowing and Trusting us Better than we do Ourselves. —Advices from Frankfort state that since the receipt of the President’s message a most extensive business has taken place in American stocks, accompanied by a rise of 3b per cent, in two days. The out standing speculations in the shape of options for the end of the year mainly contributed to this movement, which has carried prices to a point two per cent, above those at Ne.w York. At the same time the German public gener ally have resumed purchases in them for in vestment, and are so exclusive in ther par tiality that all advertisements for the Turkish or other loans or shares in any company prove entirely, unattractive. Hungary. —In the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet, Count Andrassy, the newly elected President, made an inaugural speech, in which he argued that the rights of -Hun gary were in unison with the interests of the empire, but that Parliamentary centralization was opposed to those rights. Turkey. —A great revolt of Circassian emi grants had taken place at Mouseh, and many lives were lost Italy , —The resignation of the ministry is confirmed. Austria.—The Minister of Finance had forbidden the pryment of the January divi dend of Austrian credit, and the council of administration had therefore tendered their resignation. for t|f Jtafe. w a A $o tl)e Cabies.
