TIIE EXECUTIVE.
Trial of Jeff. Davis.—lt has been tele
graphed from Washington that Attorney
.Gc neral Speed has given the opinion that no
further legislation is necessary to provide for
-the trial of Davis, either upon the charge of
treason or -of complicity in the assassination
conspiracy. In can also be stated that the
.evidenec against him on the latter charge,
.developed by the investigation of the Judi
ciary Committee, is daily gathering strength,
and is already , of the most overwhelming
olurraoter.—The President has ordered con
fiscation proceedings in Florida to be stopped,
and the property already taken to be restored.
He has also proclaimed a treaty between Ja
=
l and the United States, Great Britain,
cc, and Holland. Japan agrees to pay

THE STATES
Pennsylvania.—Wade Hampton, said to
be a cousin of the rebel General of that name,
has been appointed Postmaster at Pittsburgh,
Pa.
New York—The American Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or
in New York on Monday last.—The
new excise law went into operation on Tuesday
last. No concert saloon will be permitted to•
continue its business unless the proprietor
thereof can establish a good moral character
and pay a license fee of $250. Even then,
the selling of liqnors on Sunday is to be pro
hibited,="and on week nights no place is to be
kept open after 12 o'clock. " Corner grocer
ies," are to be abrogated altogether; liquor
may indeed be sold in them, but as it is not
allowed to be drank on the premises, total
suppression is the practical result.
Massachusetts.—A man in jail at New
buryport has made a statement in relation to
the murder of Dr. Burden, some years ago.
He says Mrs. Cunningham offered him $25,000
and her daughter in marriage if he would kill
the Doctor.—The theatrical managers in
Boston have combined to exclude colored
people from places of amusement in that city.
The fine for violating the recent law on that
subject is merely nominal.—They are trying
to stop the running of street cars in Boston
on Sunday.
Virginia.—General Grant's recent visit to
Richmond was marked with many pleasing
:incidents and ,gratifying results. People
flocked to see him in large numbers, and
during his stay he was called upon by such
persons as Robert Ould, ex-rebel commission
er for exchange of prisoners; General Joseph
Anderson, of the Tredegar Iron Works ;
Mayor Mayo, Generals Wickham and Hen
ningsen, Judges Lyons and Meredith, Hill
Carter, Walter Harrison, and many others.
Theladies also called upon Mrs. Grant freely,
and every one who came manifested becoming
feelings and sentiments. The railroad com
pany placed a special car at his disposal, the.
Spottswood Hotel assig_ned him a large suite
of rooms, the Ballard House offered to do the
same, and every one vied to contribute to his
comfort and pleasure. He dined once with
General Turner, temporarily commanding,
visited Fort Harrison and other points of in
terest, and returned well pleased with his
visit.
Kentuelry.—Judge Ballard, of the U. S.
Court at Louisville, has ordered the arrest of
Gen. Davis, for disobeying the writ of habeas
corpus.—Gen. Ely, of the Freedmen's
Bureau, says that the intense prejudices ex
isting in the forty-two counties under his juris-.
diction against both the blacks and the
Bureau, render the officers of the letters
powerless, except when supported by troops.
Pro-slavery intolerence has not abated its
mad zeal because of emancipation. The
whites consider that the Freedmen's Bureau
has been abolished by the Presidents Veto.
They have organized bands of "Regulators,"
and "Nigger-Killers," consisting mainly of
returned Rebel soldiers, whose business it is
to prevent the employment of the blacks by
burning the houses of those who do employ
them, by flogging and murdering the blacks
themselves, and other like methods. Gen.
Ely testifies that but for the terror excited by
these bands, there would be no difficulty in
finding good homes and employment for the
freedmen. The civil authorities have neither
the power nor the disposition to protect the
blacks againstsuch outrages. Public opinion
is on. the side of the "nigger-killers;"the
former owners of slaves think that some of
their rights still remain, and the courts sus
tain them by their adjudications.
Tennessee.—A thunderstorm in Tennessee
last week destroyed half a mile of telegraph,
melting the wires into shot, and fusing the
glass insulators.
Missouri.—A case of nitro-glycerine,
marked "varnish," was discovered on a
steamer at St. Louis, a few days since.
THE CITY.
The Board of Health are diligently at
work preparing for the cholera. On Satuday
week the contractor for cleaning the streets
of the upper district reported that he had
cleansed all the streets, from Market street to
Girard avenue, and from the Delaware to the
Schuylkill river. On Monday the work of
removing the dirt from the streets north of
Girard avenue was commenced. The con
tractor for the lower district reports that all
the streets in his district, from Market street
south and from the Delaware to the Schuyl
kill, have been swept, some of them twice,
and that they are being cleaned again. Bed
ford and Baker streets have been cleaned
three times, and eighty loads 4f dirt removed
from them. Delaware avenue and Water
street have also been attended to. The Board
of Health has taken the following action :
Resolved, That on and after May Ist, prox.,
all vessels arriving from foreign or American
ports, as directed in the 2d section of the
Health Law of 1818, shall stop at the Lazar
etto for a visit, and that all passenger vessels
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1866.
shall be detained at the pleasure of the Board,
for purilicaiion and ventilation.—The mur
derer Probst was found guilty of murder in
the first degree, on Saturday, the 28th.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
The Income of the Government for the
present year is estimated at $500,000,000.
The Secretary of the Treasury can at present
command about sl6o,ooo,ooo.—The was a
panic in the money and cotton markets of
England, April 14th. Cotton fell from ld to
3i-d per pound, middlings being about 14d.
U. S. 5-20's 71.1 to 72. A severe panic also
prevailed on the Paris Bourse on the 13th.
—Cotton has fallen here to 31 cents. Gov
ernment securities are surprisingly firm in
this country, in view of the decline in Eng
land.—lt is stated that over two hundred
millions of dollars will be required to equalize
the bounties.—An important circular has
recently been issued by the Revenue Depart
ment, with the following announcement :
"All expenses for insurance upon property,
and all actual losses in business, may be de
ducted from the grosi income of the year.
But losses sustained after December 31, 1865,
cannot reduce the income for the year. Losses
incurred in the prosecution of one kind of
business may be deducted from gains in
another, but not from
. those portions of in
come derived from fixed investments, such as
bonds, mortgages, rents, and the like."
Great Britaiia.—The stowing away of the
new Atlantic cable in the tanks on board the
Great Eastern was commenced on the 14th,
and the laying of the cable will commence on
the 14th of July. ,
Me Reform Bill.—On April 11; kr.
Gladstone, in the English House of Com
mons, moved on behalf of the Ministry, the
second reading of the English Reform bill.
Earl Grosvenor, for the opposition, moved a
postponement of the consideration of the
question, and Lord Stanley seconded the lat
ter motion. The debate was very earnest
and lengthy, and had not been concluded at
the latest advices. The Ministry think they
can defeat Earl Grosvenor's motion and pass
the bill to a second reading by about twenty
majority. A recent meeting of the Parlia
mentary friends of Earl Russell's government,
held at his house, was attended by a sufficient
number to justify the confidence of the Min
istry in their belief that the bill will pass by
he vote above indicated.
Austria—Prussia.—The Czar of Russia
has sent letters to the King of Prussia and
the Emperor of Austria, which are not iden
tical in their contents. The letter to the
King of Prussia is said to be expressed in
more cordial terms than that to the Emperor
of Austria, which is more exclusively - of a
formal character. Neither of the communi
cations contain any offer of mediation; beth
merely express a desire for the preservation
of peace.—The Vienna journals of April
Bth all express irritation at the reply of Prus
sia to the Austrian note, and call upon the
Government to appeal to the Federal Diet
for. the settlement of the question at issue.
Austria has sent a categorical dispatch to
Berlin, in which Count Bismarck is charged
with having declared war with Austria to be
inevitable, and it affirmed that the Austrian
armaments have been caused by this declara
tion. Count Bismarck is also charged with
intriguing in Italy against Austria. Phe Im
perial government requires the demobilization
of the Prussian army.
Italy.—A European paper of April 14th
gives the following account of military move
ments in this kingdom, which are highly
signifuait:—Sixty-five thousand troops are
now concentrated upon the line between
Balogna and Ferrara, and thirty-five thou
sand are stationed at or near Piacenza. Large
quantities of war material are being conveyed
from Alessandria to Bologna. The Piacenza
Hussars have left Caserta for upper Italy, and
the Menferrato cavalry will shortly follow
from Nola. The Guides are to proceed from.
Naples direct to Caserta. These movements
are stated to have the object of preparing a
second line in the two corps now being eon
centrat2ci under :General Cialdini and Gen
eral Durand° : the first on the right of the
Po, at Bologna, the second to the left of Pia
cenza. The field batteries have also received
orders to march from Naples and Caserta to
Bologna. Orders have been given to pre
pare quarters for the efficers of four Croa
tian regiments, shortly expected at Venice.
The Austrian army occupying :Venetia at
present consists of seventy-five thousand men,
this being the peace establishment. In fif
teen or twenty days this force could be
doubled.
Russia.—An attempt has been made to
assassinate the Czar of Russia, but the bullet
missed his person. The attack was made by
a land• owner of small means, who fancied
himself aggrieved by the emancipation of his
serf's. A peasant who struck the would-be'
assassin's hand, and saved the life of the.
Emperor, has been ennobled.
Austria.—Hopes of peace are, at latest
dates, quite prevalent. Diplomatic relations
with Prussia continue.
Mexieo.—lnformation has been received
at the Department of State at Washington,
that the Liberal army had taken Chihuahua
after a severe battle, resulting in the over
throw of the Imperialists ; that the State is
in quiet possession of the national troops, and
Juarez intended starting in a few days for
Chihuahua.
West Indies.—There is still some cholera
in Gaudaloupe. The mortality on the island
is officially stated at 10,806, out of a popula
tion of 149,107.
Canada.—There are 21 British vessels of
in Canadian waters at the present time, car
rying 44S guns, with 5717 men.
Chili.—lt is reported in Washington that
the Spanish Minister, in obedience to instruc
tions from his Government has proposed to
the State Department that the United States
shall mediate in the war between Spain and
the South American States, and the Minister
also proposes to refer the Spanish . claiths
upon Chili, which caused the war, to the
United States for arbitration.
The Cholera.—Three of the physicians
who volunteered to attend the cholera patients
on the steamer England, at Halifax, caught
the disease, and one of them, Dr. Slayter, has
died. Eight passer escaped from the
steamer England at Halifax, and it is feared
they may spread the cholera on this continent.
Three cases of cholera are reported at Halifax.
The course of the disease on the Virginia in
New York harbor was in the fatal eases very
brief; some dying within five hours from the
time of attack. The first cases of the disease
occured on what is called' the " orlop" deck,
which is below two decks and below the water
line. Since arriving in port, the disease has
not materially abated, fourteen additional
deaths having occured—in all fifty-one deaths.
The surgeon reports that about three per
cent. o,f all who have suffered from decided
symptoms of the disease have recovered or
are now convalescent. The disease has been
confined to the steerage passengers'and crew:
The Freedmen.—The Treasury Depart
ment has received, through the United States
Consul at Birmingham, England, $4,500 in
gold, which was subscribed to by the citizens
of that place for the benefit of the freed race
of this country.
FOREIGN.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Fenians have returned from Eastport.
—Two Fenians, arrested for firing on the
English guard at Calais, were released -on a
fine of 50 cents each, for drunkenness.
Owing to the indignant protest of the British
authorities, they have been rearrested, and
will be held until Secretary Seward is heard
from.

SABBATH-SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
Our_Business Superintendent (the Rev. S. W. Crit
tenden) is making the selection of suitable libraries
for Sabbath schools a specialty, and has adopted a
plan for accomplishing this in the most satisfactory
manner. DISCRETIONARY. ORDERS may be sent
him, simply indicating the amount to be expended,
and giving some general direction as to the size and
.kind. of books desired, and sending a list of books
- *friar In the library that they may not be duplicated.
such orders will be filled from any and all other pub
lishing houies where sound, readable, attractive, five
books can, be found; and any books sent on such
orders may be returned at the ComnAttee's expenee if
found unwholesome in moral tone, or in any way unfit
for the place they are designed to fill.
Concerning a recent order for two hundred and fifty
books, thus filled at discretion, a - well-known pastor
of Central New York writes:—" I was so pleased with
the selection, that I presented the subject to Presby
tery, and much interest was expressed by the pastors
in the features of your plan. I th.nk you for the
evident care exercised in filling our order. persuaded
as I am, even from the cursory examination I have
been able to give the books, that for the same number
of volumes it is the best selection we have had for our
Sabbath-school library, far better than we could have
made for ourselves. Both of our librarians concur in
this judgmmit." One of "the pastors" referred to in
this letter writes :—" Brother H— reported to
Presbytery so favorably of your Sabbath school libra
ry selected for them, that I think we shall soon send
to you to get us one, and doubtless others will."
N.B.—OUR TERMS for furnishing the Sabbath
school books of any publishing house shall, in all
=eases, be as liberal as could be secured from the pub
lishers themselves.

for the benefit of the afflicted:—
Dear Sirs :—Having realized in my family impor

tion—Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry—it affords me
pleasure to recommend it to the public. Some eight
years ago one of my daughters seemed to be in a de
cline, and little hopes of her recovery were enter
tained. I then procured a bottle of your excellent
Baliato. and before she had taken the whole of the
contents of the bottle there was a great improvement
in her health. I have, in my individual case, made
frequent use of your 'linable medicine, and have al
ways been benefitted by it. JACOB SEMLER.
