In rejecting Judge Moodey Mr. Brown simply TTlormea what he considered to be his duty, lie is required to examine every applicant for registration, and to reject all who cannot stand the test of the prescribed rules. I'rettnilcd IiiNtruclioiiH to Boards of IlfglNtrntion.

Richard Yates, one of the Senators trom Illinois. Ao address ot welcome was delivered by General John Cook. Alter the cheering, with which his appearance was greeted, had subsided, Mr. Yates responded, thanking them for the cordial greeting which they had extended to htm. In this connection he said: 'Ailer iiliie tuoiitUs or weary essence, I come back to vou with the same principles and the same faith with which I lett you. You have known me lor thirty years aud more; you have known all my laults and all my weaknesses, and jou have siood by me.

I do not regret it that 1 called upon the cltizni of the Mate of Illinois, upon her noble matrons and her beautiful maidens to send to the brave foklicrs in the field all the comforts and luxuries within their reach. I do uot regret it that I went to tbe held of battle, and brought home the sick and wounded; and I do not regret it, fellow-citizens, thai when traitors assem bled in the capitot or the state, and passed resolutions against the war. that I sent them howling to their homes.

"The two leading characteristics of the Western roueh are a reckless disregar 1 of lite and an equal disregard for money, aud just now the facilities lor ettting rid of tbe latter are un equalled. The 'big tent' has been dedicated and is in operation day aud night. The structure is a nice liame, one hundred feet long and forty feet wide, covered with canvas and conveni ently floored for dancing, to which, aud gamb ling, it Is entirely devoted. For want of sone thirg better to do I have spent uiativ of my eveuines there, studying the shades ol Western life. As jou enter, the right side is lined with a splendid bar, supplied with every variety of liquors and cigars, with cut-glas goblets, ice pitchers, splendid mirrors aud pictures rivalling ibote of our Eastern cities.

Mr. Cusbing's aban donment 01 tbe post might bave been foreseen by any one acquainted with his peculiar tem perament, many avocations, and large lucrative practice. Cushing Is the most lemarkable ex ample now extant among our public men, of large capacity, great learning, acutenesa of intellect, power of labor, aud ability to make money. Tbe extent and accuracy ot his knowledge on almost every question amazes you, and he has a zeal and enthusiasm very rare among tbe veterans of tne btr, or, indeed, of any oi her profession. Since his active participation in the memorable Charleston Con vention ot 18G0. he appears to have totally left the field of politics, aud nooody seems to Know wbttber he is now tor Grantor for Seym ur. Some people are unkind enough to say that Cusbirg lost bis interest in politics when ne found that politics diou't pay. Be this as it may, he has turned his abilities to excellent pecuniary account during ibe last lew years, and his professional income has been at least $30,000 per annum. A few gieat cases, much employment a9 counsel for tbe Government, aid or agency lor the State department in sundry tn a tiers connected with our foreign atlair, aud an arbitration in the Hadsou's Bay Company business, are the principal s urces of tbis pros perity.

Wbat but to do as be has done; accept the ollice, enter upon It with bis accustomed zeal, make a resolute beginning, and then drop it tor more pressing as well as more profitable avocations? Cusbing's resigna tion leaves this important work to be taken up. as it weie, de novo, althoueb a very handsome beginning bad been made by his two associates on the board of Cod idem, and it t a great pity that, while more time must thus be consumed. President Johnson, with his customary procras tination In ihe matter of apooimnn'iits, has lett this Important vacancy unulied till tbe next sesston of Congress.

OBSEQUIES.' Fuiierul of the I.nte Charles I.oring Elliott. Tbe N. Y. Ilera'd of this morning eajs: The body of Mr. Elliott, the distinguished arlift, which armed here trom Albany on Thurs day, was conveyed to the National Academy ot Design, iu Twen'.v-thitd street, where it lay until 2.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. During ihe day a very large number of persons availed themselves ot tbe opportunity to pay the last tribute of respect to tne deceased. The coflin, a very handsome rosewood one, witb ornaments of frosted silver, was placed in the last of the suite of rooms on the first Door of the building. At tbe loot ot the coffin was an anchor, formed of japonicas, tbe citt of Mrs. S. P. Avery. On the wall were placed the palette, brushes, and mall stick of the deceased, with his certificate as a member of tho Academy ot Design, dated 1853. This palette was pre sented to Mr. Elliott about twenty years ago, by Mr. Cafierty, and on Klliott's decease his family returned it to Mr. Caderty's keeping. Among the artists present yesterday we noticid Messrs. T. AdJison Richards. Etstmau Johnson. S. J. Guy, W. J. Havs, W. II, Powell, Launt Thompson, David Johnson, J. F. Weir, and Messrs. Paige, Palmer, Baker, Cafierty, Hojlo, James Hart, Hicks, Magralb, Fisher, Blauvelt, Lang, Thayer, Kacnianl, and Calverly. At 2 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Bircb, of whose congre pation the aeceased was formerly a member, made a brief address, in which be spoke of the deceased's love of religious exercises, of bis amiability ot temper, and his childlike simplicity or character. Notwithstanding the fact that he had attained so high a position In his profession he appealed to be unconscious ot bis own merits, and to tbe tyro in art be was ever a firm friend and kindly adviter. He died while attempting to give utterauce to some expression in relation to the profession he loved so well. The reverend gentleman concluded with a brief prayer, alter which tbe lriends of the deceased gathered around the coffin to ta'.ee a last look at the fea tures of him they had known so well. At 2 30 P. M. the body was borne from tbe Acade my bnd conveyed to Greenwood, where it will be deposited temporarily iu the receiving vault. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: Grav, Paige, Baker, Eastman, Johnson, Thayer, (iipnoux, Lang, James Hart, II. K. Palmer, and Rosbiter. The Howell Cobb Disclaimer.

Ills Conference with Honthern Lender. The New York Inoune's Washington corre spondent gives the following version ot the meeting st White Sulphur Springs, Va.t Msjor General Rosecrans arrived here this evening (August 28), trom White u1phur Springs, lie began conversation with your correspondent toon afer nightfall, relative to bis trip 10 Virginia, aud his conierence witb the leaders of tbe l ite Rebellion, by remarking that he went there as the representative of no pr-litical party, with a view of ascertaining for himself the sentiment ot tbe principal men of tbe South In tbe present juncture ot National aUnlrs. He talk'a rather treely ou tbe subject, and I give his own words as near as possible. "I had," said he, "heard so much about peace that I was sincerely anxous to find out wbat was in it. I went down there, taw those men, and an very well pleased with my visit. They received me very coraially, aud anpeared to fully appreciate tbe magnitude of the present ctuvass and tne im lortarice of restoring the country to quiet and retoee. I bad no Instructions tiom anybody. I consulted no one on toe s 'inject. My object was to tee tor mysi If, in the bone that good might c me of it, and (hat it might result for the benefit of tbe country. Tbey communicated very traLkly and freely with me; listened to all that I bad to say, and I an sntisbed that tbey have lorgotten tbe past and are sincerely repentant. So far as tbe aldress which Ue newepapers have spoken about is con cerned, nothing of tho kind has been pn pared, aud there is no correspondence on the timjf ct. I intend to think the matter over, and ptSsibly I may bave something to say myselt on tbe subject." General Rosecrans talked in this strain upwards of twenty minutes, constantly harping 01 the words, "they were auxious to bave quiet and repose." "All their iustiocts and interests," said he, "incline them that wav. They are poor, have lost all tney possessed, and they have been educated in the 6chool of political adversity." General Rosecrans in sisted on this point of their education very em phatically, and can perhaps himself reconcile, his theory with tbose pro'esslojs beiore the war and through tho war, and with the recent iuceidiary baianguesof some of their ora'ors, as Rebel Wade Hampton and o her. When brought to tbe question ot negro suffrage, he said: "It is useless; it is tolly to think of it: these men the blacks cannot be tbe governing class. Tne others bave all the education and tbe property. Witb ) 'ist as much reasoa might it be insisted and maintained that the somen and children of the North ehould vote and l. gisla'e. In tact, there would bo much more wisoom in it, for our women read papers, are enlightened, aud can generally form as correctviews on most subjects as we can. I think this negro-suffrage doctrine will utteily fail." General Roecrans profe-scs a sincere desire to serve tbe country acc rding to bis ideas, which he insists are the only true aud correct ones. His plan evidently is to con sult with the leaders ot the Democratic party on tbe subject of his visit to Yirgiuia, and his con versations witb the ex-Rebel conclave, and, it it should be deemed advisable, to publish a mani festo such as that indicated in the despatches last evening and embodying the points ot the conversation. He goes to Ne York to-morrow evening lor this purpose. In reply to tbe question whether he did not find many extreme southern men in the South of tbe Forrest school, he answered, dodging tbe question somewhat, "Well, it is hardly proper to say laige numbers. Tbere weie some, of course; but I am very well satisfied with my visit. I think everything looks well; I believe it will be productive ot pood." General Rosecrans is in constant communica tion with tbe President, and one of bis Secreta ries sa'd to me, this evenins. tuut he (tho Sucre- tart) bad ihe whole plan in confidence from General Rosecrans befoie be started tor White Sulphur Springs. Tbe General evidently stauds ou the peace platfoim indicated in the Blair letter, and has no bcsitatiou in saving that the nceroes should not vote in the Southern States. From tbis resume of the General's sentiments it is easy to tee that tbe document, if one should be put forth, will be a genuine autl-ngro, Cop perhead production, intended to bolster up Seymour aud Blair, defeat Grant, and float the cx-KcDeiB ot tne jsorin ana or tne souta into power. A Konthern View of the General's SIIs aioii. From the Augusta (Oa.) Constitutionalist, Aug. 26. Some speculators aver that this promised ad' dress will be u solemn declara'ion ou the part ot the South of the freedom of tbe negro, per omnia secu'a secu'orum. As auy Intention to re-enslave tbe negroes has already been formally denied, such an address would be, in a great degtee, superfluous aud the lorerunner of thou sands more, since a fresh allocution would be necessary to pacify and mitigate every novel falsehood of the enemy. While we do not pretend to deny that some thing of the kind may be even uow batching, as the result of the Greenbrier pow-wow, it would be far more diamatic aud Napoleonic to cau ceive that Rosecrans' Mexican mission may mean mischief to Juarez, and a future for the irrepressible treedmen of the South. The United States wauld upset Mexico in a jiffy it the way was clear. How shall the way be cleared with out finding a casus belti with the murderer of Maximilian aud tbe assent of the South to keep the peace in tbe rear ol invasion? It is a foolish bugaboo to suppose that the South is at all war like.but still rhe bugaboo may exist, aud the "best government," etc., may desire to remove eveu shadows Irom its pa h. Now, the South may enter into this arrangement it she can see any benefit in it to herself. Wbat good may eventuate. We see a preui possible good ; no less than the removal ot the vexed qaestion of the negro trom American politics, by transferring it to the so called "Halls of the Montezamas." Supoose Rcsecrans, as tho orace of the Government, pronounces the doom of Mexico. Immediately thereafter a general proclamation could be issued to the blacks iuviting them to help to conquer a land which would be a perfect para dise o them, and where tbey could indulge tneir social equality theories to their hearts' cotitent. In tbis country tbeir destiny must be an evil one; first, an almost total loss of political influence, and then final extinction from natural, if not hostile causes. But Mexico offers them salvation, honors, a glittering future, If tbey can command them, by having everything tbeir own way under tropic skies and without the encroachment of fierce civilizations. ThuB, at one magnificent stroke, the United Slates will be padded and Mexico made no worse. It is a first rate prospect, if it be practicable. The only fear is Generals Lee and Rosecrans may not see it thr ugh these lamps. 1 1 not, we still contend that tbe idea Is a fine one. It may be made light of by future revelations. If so, we can conole ourselves as our famous orator, Mr. Ben. Hill, did, during a leceut speech He was entering into a plulo Fophical review ot tbe situation, when some rabid individual screamed out, "What about Gibson?" "My friend," retorted Mr. Hill, "I was pursuing a ripht good train of thought, and yet you Interrupt me with a, very small matter."

Anew idea has been broachel by certain Southern aotl-radloal poli ticians In favor of allowing every native and naturalized c;tlzen of the United States in the reconstructed States the right to vote in the coming Presidential elect'on. The idea is, briefly, that the constitutional amendment of the Constitution known as article fourteen, only deprives of the right to hold offi:e such persons as, anterior to the Rebellion, took an oath to support tbe C institution and afterwards enpaced in the Rebellion, and gave aid and comfort to the enemy. By referring to the artU clc it will be noticed that not a word is said about the right of such persons to vote, and hence Southern politicians contend that they have not been deprived of that right by the new amendment. Tho Next ScHNion or Congress. D tpalch to the Associated Preit. Washington, Aug. 29.

The New York Bera'd of this .morning con tains the following: The Broad w.iy Theatre is closed, and now but one theatre in the city monopolizes all that there Is of Foul Play. In consequence of the refusal yesterday on the part of Judge Barnard to remove the Injunction which had been rranted on Wednesday last against the drama of Foul J'tay as performed at the Broadway Theatre, that establishment was compelled to keep its doors closed last evening, and Its pations were obliged to solace themselves by finding amusemeut elsewhere. It was not known until late in tbe afternoon that tbe in junction could not bu removed; too, late, in tact, to admit of another pliy being substituted for the one under tbe ban. As the company had been engaged to perform iu that particular piece aud could not bj brought together until about a quarter of an hour before ibe usual time for raisin? j the cur tain, it was deemed advisable by the manager not to open the house, as it would be impossible to give a first-class performance, such as has always characterized tbis theatre, on so short a notice; therefore it was tbat hundreds of our amusement loving citizens last evening were doomed to disappointment. The house would undoubtedly have been crowded to excess had it been open, for long after the customary hour hud arrived tor commencing the performance hundreds of people continued to flock to the theatre in carriages, in omnibuses, and atoot, only to find tbe sraat limps in front of the house as black as Erebus, and the Iron railing that guards tbe entrance to tbe vestibule locKel and bolted. Tbe theatre will remain closed until Monday evening, when Mrs. General Lander, tbe great tragedienue, will appear in the role of "Mary Stuart," la tue play Ql tbat name, FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
