TBE DAILY EVENING TELEG I! AP1I . PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28, 186G. WASHINGTON. f WAdiiNfiTON, Doc. i!7. The Interior De partment has received a telegram announcing the death at Council 1! lulls of General Samnel K. Curtis, one of the Couainisionorg appointed to inspect the finished work of the Union i'a eiflc Railroad, lie was actively engaged in the late war. It is expected In ollicial circles that Lieu tenant General Sherman, after visiting St. Louis, will return to Washington, to report In person the particulars of his recent visit to Vera Cruz. The United States Supreme Court, in a canee from the Circuit Court of the Eastern District of Louisiana, dismissed the appeal for the want cf jurisdiction. It appears that the amount in controversy did not excoed two thousand dollars. The Commissioner of Customs has rocoived information of the conviction, in tho Unitod States District Court of tho District of Michi gan, of nine persons for smuggling. They Lave not yet been sentenced. The Currency Petition. Petitions are circulating throughout the country for signatures, praying Congress to refrain from tho passage of any act authorizing tho curtailment of tho national currency, or having In view tho return within a limited tiuio to sptcio payments. This movement, it is known, is in opposition to the policy of Secre tary McCulIccb, who maintains that tho coun try wants moro labor instead of more curroncy. Tho Secretary has returned to Washington to day, from a visit to West Virginia, lie has given tip tho intention to proceed north, not having any business to call him thither at present. A Present to the President. The President has received from James Lyons, of Richmond, a cano made of a piece of the old frigate Constitution. Tho inscrip tion on tho gold head of the cano compliments Johnson as "the restorer of the Constitu tion." Disbursing Olliccrs. It having been represented to tho Treasury department that tho ollicers of tho United StatcB charged with tho disbursement of pub lic money havo in somo instances mado de posits of such moneys with banks or bankers, or others not authorized as depositories of public moneys, General Spinner, tho United States Treasurer, has published certain pro visions and requirements of law for tho infor mation of such ollicers and other parties, from which it is seen that deposits of public moneys may bo mado only as follows : Deposits of collections or receipts of all public moneys, by all kinds of United States ollicers, with tho Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the United States, except tho receipts from cus tonis, as hereinafter mentioned, with a national bank,' designated as a depositary, under tho provisions of tho National Currency Act, and with no others. Collectors of Internal Revenue are required to deposit their collections in the particular depository indicated to them by instructions from tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Collectors or deputy collectors who deposit with banks, bankers or others not authorized as depositaries render themselves amenable to the penalties prescribed by tho law. Deposits of customs duties, being in coin, can be made only with tho Treasurer or As sistant Treasurer, or such other public ollicer as has been designated as a depositary of tho United States. National banks that have been designated as depositaries of public moneys are not authorised to receive deposils of coin. Deposits of disbursing oHicers may be mado with the Treasurer, or an Assistant Treasurer of tho United States, or with a depositary specially authorized for that particular pur pose by tho Secretary of the Treasury, under the authority of section 1 of the act approved June 11th, 18(36, and with no others. The attention of public ollicers interested, and of banks, bankers, or others not author ized as depositaries of the public moneys, is specially called to tho fact that all violations of the act of August Cth, 18(i(5, and tho acts amendatory of the same, subject the parties transgressing to severe paius and penalties tinder a conviction for felony. Tho laws are very stringent against all ollicers charged with tho deposit and disbursement of money. AmoDg other things they are prohibited from investing public money in any kind of pro perty or merchandise. They cannot for any purposo not prescribed by law transfer or apply any of the funds. All such acts are declared a felony, and, upon conviction thereof, the oli'tnder shall be punished by imprisonment lor a term of not less than ono year nor moro than ten years, or by Duo not more than tho amount embezzled, nor less than one thousand dollars, or by both: such fine and imprisonment to bo at the discretion of tho court. Bankers, brokers and others, knowingly counselling or abetting such transactions, shall on conviction bo similarly punished. Cholera at St. '1 nomas. Our Consul at St. Croix reports that on ac count of the prevalence of the cholera, small pox and yellow fever at St. Thomas, tho Eng lish islands have established a quarantine on vessels arriving from St. Thomas of 21 days, and the Spanish islands of 40 days. Returns from the General Land Ollice. The Commissioner of the General Land Ollice has received returns from the local ollice at Ionia, Michigan, for November, lStlO, which show that 5427 acres have been sold for cash during that month, amounting to $14,023. Presidential Pardons. The President has directed warrants of par don to be issued to Johnson Noble, of Ken tucky, and P. W. M. liolliday, of Virginia, both of whom were engaged in tho rebellion and are pardoned under the $20,000 clause. The pardons were issued on the recommenda tions of tho Governors of tho respective States. The Guetts of Sumner. Senator Sumner yestorday entertained tho new French Minister, M. Bertheiny. Secre tary Stanton and Representative Morrill, of Vermont, were among tho guests. The Charleston Courier. Tho Charleston (S. C.) Courier of Tuesday, noticing the various nowspaper reports about a South Carolina commissioner to Washing ton, says: It appears that, prior to the close of the session of our Legislature which ad journed on Friday last, a largo majority of the members of the Senate consulted together as to the propriety of sending a member of that body to W ashington to confer with the Pre sident on tho probability ol the State being restored to hor place in tho Union should sho adopt the constitutional amendment. After consultation it was decided that somo good might arise from tho pursuance of such a course, and one of their number was selected for the mission. The gentleman selected was Colonel J. C. Weatherly, Senator from the Marlborough District, who immediately proceeded to Washington and sought an inter view with the Prc-skl jEt. Upon lit arrival he found that the President' Was occupied in a Cabinet meetir.g, and being digengftgyd, he de termined to make good use of his leisure mo ments by obtaining interviews with the loading Radical members of both Houses of Congress, and conversing with thorn freely npon tho sub ject of tho constitutional amendment, and tho prospects of the admission of South Carolina to her rights npon its adoption. Colonel Weatherly succeeded In making the acquaintance of several of the leading Radical Senators and Representatives, with whom ho conversed freely, and was assured by them that the constitutional amendment was the ultimatum of Congress to the southern States, that its adoption by them would remove all obstacles to their being admitted to represen tation in Congress. Colonel Weathely had a subsequent inter view with President Johnson, to whom ho had been informally deputized. We learn that tho interview with the President was of somo du ration, as well as free and candid, during which he expressed the hope that the southern States would remain firm in their position as regards the constitutional amendment, and steadfastly rtject it, believing it to bo an advanco stop to the inauguration of a despotism. In doing this, ho said, ho hoped they would bo guarded in their reasons assigned for its rejection, and avoid any language that might, by any possi ble means, bo tortured to give ofl'once to the opposing party. The President fools confident from a re cent decision given by tho Supreme Court that he will bo sustained by that law-abiding body, and that in a short time a returning sense of reason will point out somo middle ground between the constitutional amondmont and the projected territorial scheme, upon Vibich our country may become unitod, when peace will again smile upon us with all its blessings. The Storm. A severe pale has been blowing all day from the northwest; weather cold and clear. Thero was a slight fail of snow early this morning. Prom Kashvillc. Nashville, Dec. 27. The trial of tho al leged murderers cf tho soldier on Christmas night has been in progress all day before tho bench of magistrates, and will occupy all to morrow. The testimony is far from conclusive as to who fired the shot, and none of the par ties on tiial tan bo convicted on the evidence as far as developed. It is definitely ascer tained in proof that the affray originated in the soldiers cheering for the Union and Lin coln, while the policemen, oil duty, cheered lor Jell. Davis. A feeling of intense bitterness exists be tween the soldiers and tho policemen which threatens blocdy consequences, on tho first substantial provocation. Hie commanding ofticers participate in the feelings of the soldiers. William Stud'ans, a well known German citizen, while intoxicated at a ball given by tho Aureogonia Lodge, at tho Council House, last night, stepped ft om tho open balcony of tho second story, dislocating his neck, and causing his speedy death, lie will bo buried this afternoon, with all the honors of the Lodge. Nashville, Dec. 27. For some time past, many agents of houses in western and eastern cities have been selling goods hero by sample. To-night the City Council passed an act pro hibiting this, unless tho parties shall first pay $800 for annual license, and shall give boud in the sum of $5000, with two sureties living in Davidson county, conditioned on making an accurate monthly exhibit, recording their sales and paying a duty thereon of ten per cent. Prom San Francisco, San Francisco, Dec. 27. It is understood that tho merchants and business men of this city will give a grand inauguration dinner in honor of the departure of the steamer Colo rado, the first of tho great China line. Tho State and national departments, the municipal government, the New York and San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, tho Pacific Railroad, and the Chinese merchants will be represented. A battalion of troops for the Liberal service has been quietly organized in this city, for tho government of Mexico, within the last few weeks, and a detachment of sixty-five men, ur der Major Herring, left yesterday for Mazat lan by tho steamer Continental. J. Ross Browne and party, consisting of se veral members of the State Geological Sur vey, took passage by the same steamer, for the purpose of making a full and complete topo graphical aLd geological survey ot Lower Ca lifornia. Colonel R. A. Wainwright, heretofore re ported as having died at Benicia, is said to have shot himself through tho head while un der the influence of spiritualism. Prom Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Dec. 27. Tho weather is very cold, w ith the mercury fourteen degrees above zero. t Threo persons in ono family, named Baur, died from cholera on Monday, and two other members are quite sick, caused by eating dis eased pork. The Rushville and ' Connersville Railroad, from Rushville, lnd., to Connersville, was opened on the 2-3th. Two men, named Richardson and Batchel der, have been arrested at Eaton, Ohio, on suspicion of an attempt to defraud a Life In surance Company. They had buried a coliin at midnignt, tilled with broom corn seed, with the intention, it is supposed, of representing that the coflin contained the remains of a man named McFadden. Tho latter has not been found as yet. The affair is creating considera ble excitement. THE BON OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. The seaicu after the relies, writes a Pari? cor resi'Oiideut, belonging to the Duke de Reu-li-Btaelt, King of Rome, has ended in the securing of several iuo-t interesting souvenirs, to be placed in the Napoleon (iiulery f the Louvre. The life of this son of the great Emperor, who, according to the tout-hint? epitaph written, by liinisc It lor his own tomb, "was born Kmsr of Rome, and died a Lietiteuant in the AtiHtrinn service," was ioo short to admit of any very vol uminous record. The souvenirs now brought to Paris have been wholly furnished by the well-remembered tl:in scuse, Fauny Ellfler, who lives in the strict retirement of a country life near the HtiRue, occupied. solely lu the cultivation ot a certain species of rosf1, wh!ch huh had brought rp the highest perfection. By the lortime left her by (ioiitz, added to that acquired by her own in dustry and talent, she is enabled to live thei easy lite ot a chatelaine; ami while her leisure time is occupied with the cultivation of (lowers, her heart is fully occupied likewise with the culti vation of all her teuder couveuirs of the Court of Yieuua, and tbe place she ouco occupied thereat, with the full consent and approbation ot every member of the Imperial family. Tne story of the loves of the Due de Reich shidt is short and pad enouah. Disgusted with the restraint ot the life at Court, wounded by tbe position to which his birth had consigned him uiiiontr the proud archdukes, his blfrh-born relatives, he whs wont to Heal away into the country to eujoy colitude and the contemplation of nature, at little village near Vienna; Top doctors had foretold that unless some inter nt in hie- ' je :)''! il jo xlU .'! itive i-eex, youth, he must, of necessity, slnW iiito atrophy, slid wither hw ay. In consumption, Mnny and many a hope hn-l been rnised of his forming an attaehti.cn t which miplit thiow mc intercut around hift existence, nnd WHrd oil the i-miui which was killing him by inches. But the conviction that the opportunities thus aOordcd him were but snares ol tbe enemy to set a spy over him in his most nngiiarded mo ments, kept hlra on the watch, mid he neve" once jieldi d to the temptation. But the mo ment came lor him as it comes lor all men. 1I became struck will the grnce and beauty of nis lnndlailv's niece, a pirl in sh from the woods, whoe picturesque costume and simple maimers llai tried both his artistic and moral taste, and coon became deeply enamored. To this trirl he told the whole story of his lite the temptations which had been otiered him the aspira'.ions in which ho indulged, the hopes he entertained. His entire existence underwent a chRiige. To one bring could he unfold the secrets of his heart, and the restraint which had been killing him was overcome at last. But as there must always he a demon at work upon the happiness of every mortal here below, so did the satisfaction experienced by the young Due de lieichstadt toon come to an end. He ho had ever shunned all gaiety, who had ob stinately rolled to attend nil courtly feUs, opera, ball, and play finding his health ;and spirits much improved, must needs one night he seized with an irresistible desire to see the ballet of tbe "Liable JJoitevx," in which the cachuea danced by Fanny Kllsler, had become the iittii and object of every conversation and ot all the enthusiasm of the city. He went alone to the opera; he saw the dancer come for v. ii rd to the footlights wit h that swimming step w hub had won the hearts of all mankin l; he sa.cd first in terror, then in doubt, then in horror and ama.pment, and sunk slowly down senseless on the floor ol the box where he was placed ! It was the dancer herself on whom bis whole heait and tout hui been bestowed. It was to l.tr he hud contided his most secret thoughts. The whole intrigue of the Court became re vealed at once to his mind. He went back no more to the villaee, put retired arain to tho little ftudent's roam in the palacu still shown as the place where he died, and could never be persuaded to behold even once again the traitress who had so imposed upon his trusting heart. No one but himself ever suspected Fanny Ellsler of any base intrigue the pas toral comedy had been played out in good part, and with the eutire concurrence of imperial relatives. The end of the drama was a bright and elorious existence for the dancer; for the like, misery, despair, and death ! K'ngly Rema ns A Paris correspondent says: 'We are now about to semi to Westminster Abbey from Fontevratilt all, literally, that remains ol the Kings and Queens ot England. Westminster Abbey,' however, is not likely to be much enriched by these mortal spoils, ior the l'iiare tie la Loire says: 'There probably will be lound at Foutevrault no actual remains ot Henry II, Richard I, or Queen Elcnnor of Aqui tuine; lor, like those of St. Deris, the tombs of Foutevrault have been violated. The bones of Co ur de Lion were not more respected than those of St. Louis, but the tombs have been restored, and the figures are almost uninjured. They arc recumbent figures, with hands crossed over their chests. Those who have examined them declare that every known tradition of re-eniblance has bpen respected.'" COAL. IV.
