It was ex pected that Jeff. Davis' trial would conae.off—he being represented by bis eennsel in his absence—bat the ease was again postponed. How long is this farce to be kept up. assorted with some proba bility by a leading hanker who bas re. peatedly discussed financial matters with Gen. Grant, that he will, at an early day after hie inauguration, rec ommend to Congress legislation look ing to a speedy resumption of apeCie payment. serThe organists aboUt Washington would like to know just where, they will find Grant after he takes his seat in tlie White House. He has said but little to eneourago them—they are still in the dark. if Grant intends to play the part of an organ himself, Ogre Pill, be but little mnsio to pay for. The effect of Gen. Grant's first step'relative to applications for office, is odd to have had the desired effect. Re le not at all annoyed - now by un timely and impertinent applications for office, and while on his recent visit to Rest Point and New York, he says he was not, to his knowledge, even ap proached by an office seeker. - tieL,Congress meets on Monday next. Many of the Senators and Representa tives have boon in Washington a week ego.

Mr. Barber, who has written the first , E-- say, favors the Crawford county sys. tem, and is for legalizing it by the pas sage of a law regulating primary po litical elections to form the party ticket. CUBAN FILLIBUSTER3.— Marshal Mur ray of. Washington city, has informed the goTerument that the Cuban &Ili basters have extensive arrangements in New York, with ramifications in all the other largo cities., Ho says there is danger of them getting away from New Orleans, unless they are closely viatched:- They have plenty of mon .ey,and aro purchasing *mins and am minition quite freely. rercontra, Sec retary Seward informs the Spanish : Minister at Washington that Cuba has nothing to fear from expeditions fitted cut in the United States. EXIT FREED:VE:I'e BUREAU.—In ao cordanco with the act of Congress pass ed July 25, 1868; Gen. lloward has is sued an order for the discontinuing on December 21st, of the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau, excepting in the Educational-Department, and in the collodion and payment of money due soldiere and sailors, and their fees from the Government on account of military services. All officers, except such as are needed as above stated will be dis charged, and all the unneeded proper ty of the Burean Sold. The Educational Department is pla ced under an Assiatant Commissioner in each of the Southern Strites,'and one Assistant Superintendent of Schools in the District of Columbia, with a seq.- • Motif number • of-, subordinates. The -freedmen's hospitals are •to be closed by : ilie . -first of January; 1869. • United States Bonds aro known• to be popular in Europe, but the - aggre gate amount of our Government Secu rities:held in Germany. is larger than ie generallyssppesed.• Of the six hun dred million dollars worth held in Eu rope, four-fifths, at least, are held in Germany. The daily sales of United States bonds at Frankfort, Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin, will, it is asserted, compare favorably with the fransac. %ions in Wall street, and at .Rotterdam "land'Vientta the sales aro larger than in London. The amount of fractional currency daily printed At the Treasury Depart ment is between ninety and ono hund red thousand dental; which is rapidly forwarded to the various Assistant Treasurers and Government deposito ries throughout the country to fill re• pisitions made by them ion OA" gle par talents. The Women's Suffrage Question. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Hor ace Greeley, Susan B. Anthony, and other ladies,. in behalf of the Women's Suffrage Association of America, have in circulation for signatures the , form of an appeal or petition to Congress in behalf of equal suffrage throughout the country for men end women. They also publish a card, calling attention to this movement, from which we extract tho following : We are now assured that nt the opening of Congress next month a vig orous movement will be made ler a constitutional amendment providing for universal suffrage in all Me States." We now wish to prose our demand that womanhood also be recognized in the proposed enlargement of suffrage and citizenship: Woman% capacity to par ticipate in the - affairs of government is no longer questioned among honest and intelligent mon. It is a fearful satire and slander to question it in presence of hundreds of thousands of male voters, North, South, East and West, of many colors and races, who do not knew oven the alphabet of any human language under heaven. That woman is taxed equally with man on her property and earnings, and hold amenable to every law; that she is punished by fines, imprisonment and death, is equally well known and ad mitted. And it is further - satire-and slander of both her intellectual and moral sense to say that under such eir eumstanees she does not wish to vote. The present is the most favorable op. portunity over presented to press the obligation upon women, and upon man also, who by force withholds from her natural and inalienable and inextin guishable rights. We, therefore, pre sent to-day, with confidence as well as hope, this earnest appeal. Let no time be Jost. Lot every man, woman and child even, old -enough to co-operate, and whose heart is in the cause, lend a helping hand in circulating these peti tions. These aro the days of mighty energy and activity, in every depart ment of human effort. Let us not mis take or be behind our time. No work for no ono nation, no one generation. Our cause is commensurate with hu Inanity; wide as all habitable space, lasting as all time. Let us appreciate our sublime calling, and act in all things worthy of it. Pennsylvanians Who Have Been in the President's Cabinet, It is interesting, at this time, now that a contest is being made for ap pointment in the Cabinet of the Presi dent elect, to notice the number of such position filled by Pennsylvanians. The early Presidents did not seem to care much about the statesmen of Pennsyl vania, as neither Washington nor John Adams sought an "advisor" in this State. In 1809, Thomas Jefferson ap pointed Albert Gallatin Secretary of the Treasury,'after Samuel Dexter, of Mass., had retired from that position Gallatin continued with Jefferson to the end of his second term, and when - Monroe became President was re np pointed. During Monroe's last term Win. Jones was appointed Secretary of the Navy. During Jackson's ad ministration Samuel D. Ingham and Win. J. Durand were Secretaries Of the - Treasury. In the Tyler Cabinet Wal ter Stewart was Secretary of the Trea sury; James M. Porter and William M. Wilkins, respectively, Secretaries of War. With - Polk James Buchanan was Secretary of State. Taylor ap pointed Wm: M liferodith Secretary of the Treasury. James Campbell was Postmaster General in the Pierce ad ministration. Buchanan had Jeremi ah S. Black as Attorney General; and at rho close of his administration, Black wont into the War Department, in whits)] be was succeeded by Edwin M. Stanton. During Mr. Lincoln's ad ministration SimonCamePon and Ed win M. Stanton were at the bead of the War Office. From the above' it will be seen that Pennsylvania has had more of her cit izons in the Treasury than in any of the other Departments of the Govern ment; it is a feet, too, that during the Revolutionary war, the ablest finan• cier in the interest of the, colonies was a Pennsylvanian'. But it is also true, that Pennsylvania ' has not had an equal 'share of Cabinet visitions in comparision with that enjoyed by, oth er of the original Thirteen States. She has always been slighted, for what cause wo cannot explain', as the eandi dates for President supported by the Keystone State has almost always been elected, until the political maxim has obtained currency, that as goes Pennsylvania so goes 'the Union. Whether the President elect will pass over the statesmen of our State, in forming his Cabinet, ,is yet to be seeh. —Harrisburg ,Start guard. ' The Alabama Question. WAsultioxoN, Nov. 26 —Now that the injunction of secrecy has been re moved from the negotiations of Minis ter Johnson for the settlement of our difficulties with Great Britain, it is proper to announce Chat the pretoeol agreed upon contains three .artialts, which aro virtuall:y as follows Article first provides for the,,kaner al settleinent of all claims between tbo two governments which have arisen since the convention of 1853. - Article second - provides • especially for the settlement of the claims against Great - Britain by this government known in the diplomatic correspon dence of the last three years as the Alabama claims. Article third provides for the. ap pointment of a joint commission of four persons (trio to ho ge!eeted s by each government),, who shall sit in Washington to decide upon the validi ty of these claims, and also provides that in case the commission does not unanimously agree on any of the ques tions committed to it, such questions shall be referred to the arbitration ,of some potontato not specifically to bo named, ezcept that he shall be friend ly, or, in other words, at peace with both England and the United States. The Boston Board of Trade have adopted - a 'resolution' expressing the hope that Congress - will devise a nal form system which 'shall bring the tel egraph lines of the tinitediStates with in the reach of all -classes of our peo ple, And make it available for the trans mission for all kinds of intelfigonic The Annual Reports, We herewith give a synopsis of the annual reports of the Military, Indian, Subsistence and Quartermaster De partments: DivisroN or THE Norric.—Maj. Gen. litilleek's division includes the States of Oregon, California and Nevada, and the Territories of Alaska, Washing ton, Idaho and Arizona. in all a terri tory of 1000,218 square miles, with about 12,750 statute miles of sea coast, including the islands. Its population is air int 700,000 whites and about 130,- 000 Indians. The division, for mili tary administration, is divided into three apartments :—The departments of Alaska, Columbia and California.— Gen. Hallook approves tho suggestion of Gcn. Davis, commanding in Alaska, to estalilish military posts in the vi cinity of the larger tribes of Indians, estitnats the population of Alaska at 8,000 whites and 15,000 Indians— The military force now time consists of two full regiments of infantry and nine companies of cavalry. THE INDIAN BUREAU.—Commis6ion• er Ta) for estimates the number of In dians within the bounds of United States, exclusive of those in Alaska, at 300,000. The Commissioner strong ly recommends that Win 'and liberal treaties be made with the Indians of New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Washington territories, looking to their concentration on reservations and to the payment on our part for the rights of which they have been despoiled. Claims to tho amount of about $lOO,OOO have been presented for depredations committed by the In dians in the war of 1803. Tax SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT.— Brig. Gen. Eaton, Commissary Gener al in his' report for the year ending Juno 30, 1868, says :—Tho average cost of fresh beef furnished the army east of the Rocky Mountains, was eleven and three.tenths cents per pound, which is three-tenths of a cent less than last year. The average cost this year at nine principal points of supply, was twenty-three and one fifth cents per ratio. The average value of tobacco furnished per month, and deducted from the pay proper. of the ' men using it, was $19,360. The value of the ,subsistence stores supplied the freedmen for the fiscal year of 1867, was 6882,60 and in 1868 $632,176, making a total of $1,516,471, of which the Freedmen's Bureau has repaid $l,- 048,663. The value of army stores is sued to the Indians in 1867, was 6644,- 439, and in 1868, 8373,926. The num ber of claims for commutation of ra tions to soldiers who wero prisoners during the war, and to their heirs, is ' 4,044, on which there has been paid over $250,500. For stores taken and used by the army, 5,386 claims have been received, of which 3,545, aggro , gating $2,088,373 have boon disallow ed ; 096 aggregating $663,03-1, have not been examined, and 845, amount ing to 6196,930, have been passed.— The whole number of army accounts, of all kinds, was 12.502, of which 12,- 215 have been examined and sent ~to the Treasury department. 'THE QUARTERMASTERS DEPARTAIENT. —Brig. Gen. Meigs in his report gives as the amount of the appropriation to his department, $37,000,000. Tho ex penditures have been $36,500,000. The whole number of animate in the_ ser vice; is as follows :—horses, including those of officers, 13,291 ; mules, 17,866 ; oxen 211. The Quartermaster Gener al has sold 831:buildings, and transfer red 108 to the 'Freedmen's Bureau.— The sales of surplus and damaged clothing and equipments, fur the year have amounted to nearly $4;000,600. One of the most interesting sections of the report refers to national ceme teries. The number of national-ceme teries, is 73, and reports have been re• ceived from 320 lo”al, post or private grounds. The total ' number of sol diers' graves is 316,233, of which the occupants of 145,794 have been cer tainly identified. The amount expen ded for sites, care, transportation and all other purposes*conneeted with the work to J one 30, 1868, was $2,600,000. The estimated expense of next fiscal year is $500,000. Brigharo Young on Long, Dresses. In a 4.euent, sermon, Brigham Young, the Mormon Prophet, delivered the following, homily on the fabhions "It is the duly of the husband or fa:ther to 11111118 h family with cloth to dress themseives, it is their duty to Mee that cloth is Cut and made prudent : ly and not,Wasted: It is a disgrace to a community to drag their cloth in the dire. "Iljv many women aro there hero to-day Who walked to this Taber tiuolo without throwing dirt every slop they took, not only on themselves hut,upon those who walked near theni I aliun tberri . whon see thorn some otherl try to 'make my way in some othet: direction', in order to avoid' their de-,t. I can get enough of it wittnitt receiving it from them. If there is a nmi3anee in the path,•they arb sure to wiponp a portion of it With their dreSs, and thou trailit'on their carpet or 'in to the bedrooms and distribute it through the house. This is a disgrace , to them. It is not tho duty of my brethren to buy cloth to' bo dragged through these streets, and the wife or daughter who will not cease dragging her dress through thorn ought to have it cut off. I have borne it, and so have my brethren, until duty do. mends that we 'put a stop to it. I have politely expostulated with my wives and daughters on this subject. I have asked thorn if -they think it looks nice, and have been told that - it their reason for thinking so being that somebody else wore it so. That is all the argument that can be brought in its favor. There is no reason in the world why a dress looks well trailing -through the streets. On the other band, I will say, ladies, if we ask you to Make your dresses . a little shorter, do not be extravagant and cut them 'so short that wo cad toe the tops of your stockings. Bring them down to ' the tops of your shoes, and have them so that you' can walk and clear the dust, and do not expose your persons. Plave'Snour dresses neat and comely, and conduct yourself, in - tho-strictest sense of the word, in chastity. - If you do this, you set good example be fore the rising gewaration. Use .good language, wear comely clothing, and act in all things so that you can re spect yourselves and respect 'each oth er. We wish yea to remember and carry out those counsels!? ' General Sheridan's Report. From the ;New York Times The report of General Sheridan on the conduct of affairs in the Indian Department, depicts more clearly the horrors of war than any document which we remember to • have read since the Rebellion began. Its whole tone and manner continually remind ono of Shorman's forcible expressions: "War is cruelty—you cannot refine it." ' And the most painful part of it is not the plain, unvarnished, and brief nar rative of massacres, but the explana tion of how conflicting authorities, and speculating officials deluded trusting settlers to their ruin, and betrayed the deep-laid plans of the military. The cruelty of the'lndians is overshadow ed by the more inhuman, though, per haps, loss capable, deceit of the In dian agents and Peace Commissioners. "All confidence is destroyed. The people had had some degree of securi ty from the assurances of the Peace Commissioners, and many of them have met a horrible fate in conse quence." The faithlessness of the ig. norant Indian is forgotten, when wo read Sheridan's description of the re sult of the mismanagement of our more unscrupulous agents. The nine ty-two dead Indians, slain since the war reopened,aro forgotten when we reflect that eighty•six whites have boon sacri ficed by the same mismanagement. "There are too many fingers in the pie, too many ends to be subserved and too much money to be made, and it is tho interest of the nation and humani. ty to put an end to this inhuman farce. The Peace Commission and the Indian Department, and the military and the Indians, make a 'balky team' The public Treasury is depleted, and inno cent people murdered in tho gliadran gular management, in which the pub lic Treasury and the unarmed settlers aro the greatest sufferer/0 It is the most horrible feature of all wars, that not the actual combatants, but the innocent, trusting, and delu ded non-participants, must suffer most. General Sheridan's report is a pow erful protest against the longer eon tinuance of a system of Indian warfare and Indian government which 15 oppo sed to all the interests of the West, and in violation of all reason as well as hu manity. Foryeat's we have disbursed, through dishonest agents, immense tributes to insignificant tribes, in or der to secure a peace we had no reli• arm upon ; and as an additional se curity of thin distrusted peace, have maintained at enormous expebso a large army, totally incapable, by rea son of its peculiar organization and equipment, of carrying on an effective offensive campaign, or of defending any other settlers than those located immediately under the guns of•the es tablished forts and posts No part of our generally contemptible civil ser vice has been so badly managed as our Indian Oaks; and since the army must occupy the disputed country, and since only force will keep the In dians in control, it is high time the civil department surrendered the du ty it cannot perform to the depart ment to which it naturally belongs.— General Grant knows the true value of the opinions of such practical men as Sherman and Sheridan, end ho will not he long•in inaugurating this much needed reform. The iitir s hippin — g4o'st in Delaware. WILMINGT9N, Nov. 21.—The regular semi-annual exhibition of barbarism took place at New Castle 'this morn• ing, seven men being whipped and one pilloried. The first•viotim was William JoneS, who had been convicted of stealing store goods from the store of Mr. Lat, tomus. He was placed in the pillory at 10 o'clock, and stood there in the cold wind with head and hands in fix ed position and • unable to move his body for ono hour. Ho was taken down at 11. o'clock and taken back to jail to sufficiently recover from the ef fects of his torture to be able to stand flogging.a The jail yard contained a large crowd, over a hundred of whom were children—both boys and girls—who appeared to fake great delight in the exhibition... Children not five years old were brought by their larger broth ers and sisters to "see the show," and with eager impatience awaited its commencement. PrOmptly at 11 o'clock Sheriff Rieh• ardson, cat-o'•ninetails in haild, made his appearance, and immediately after wards a litt s lo colored boy, who had to stand on a soap-box to get his bands in the manacles (which had been wrap• pod to make them fit his wrists), was led out. The name was Matthew Per ry, and he had been convicted of steal ing seventy-fire cents' worth of pig iron. • Twenty lushes with the eat were laid oh, and the Sheriff's lenien cy was such .that the boy made no out cry The next...person whipped was n light colored mulatto boy of about 1.0 years, who plead guilty of :stealing a pair of shoes and five. ecnts. He re ceived twenty lashes. Ho came out nwith a fixed • smile on. his face and managed to keep it there through the operation. William Maloney, a young white man, convicted of stealing a bundle of clothing, received twenty lashes. The next man was George Klutch, an old infirm and gray-haired man, .convicted of stealing a shirt. Ile trem bled violently and gave forth feeble moans, while his facial contortions showed agony of both body and mind. He received twenty lashes. Charles Wheatly, a young white man, convicted of stealing a pair of boots, received 20 lashes 'without dis playing much emotion. Ho, in a spirit of bravado, danced a jig as ho went back to jail:, Howard Lee, a slightand trembling youth, with a largo plaster on his breast, who pleaded guilty of stealing a valise, received, twenty lashes, very lightly laid - on. -- William Jones, who had been in the pillory before the whippings commene• ed, received twenty lashes, and the exhibition Closed 'With a 'shout of tri. umph from the delighted children. Sheriff Richardson evidently shrank from his miserable task, and several gentlomem complimented him on his humanity. ,A.rneng th© spectators were Rev. George Latimer, of Calvary church; Dr. ,John Cameron, and others, drawn to the place :not out of idle curioei-. ty, but from serious interest in this bad and barha'rio seene.Eci: Comer . I/ANDS/4M IN MAINE.—Tho people in the village of Cumberland Mills and vicinity, which is about five miles from this city, were startled, about 5 o'clock yesterday morning, by a rumbling noise and jarring of the earth, which they supposed to be an earthquake.— investigation, however, disclosed an immense landslide on the north bank of the Presumpscot river, about one third of a mile below Cumberland mills. The land sunk extends hack from the river nearly half a mile, in an oblong shape, and is some forty rods in width, embraeing at least thirty acres. It fell from thirty to fifty feet, and the river was dammed up for more than an eighth of a mile. The land which sunk was for ten feet from the surface a light, sandy loam, and below that blue clay. 1 1 The water continued to back up and overflow adjacent lands. The Cum berland paper mills were flooded to the first windows on the lower floor, entirely submerging all in the lower part of the mill, including, of course, the valuable machinery in the base ment. It was apparent that the con vulsion was not occasioned by the un dermining of the river. The sinking evidently commenced some distance away from that, and the bed of the ri ver was pressed upward to the level of the surrounding laud. An intelligent gentleman, who carefully examined the scene, theorizes that the long con• tinned wet weather had softened the substratum of clay until it would not sustain the weight above. The water in the section overflowed apparently ceased to rise about five o'clock yesterday afternoon, and no damage was apprehended by the rise of water above the upper dam at Cum berland Mills. :It is difficult to ap proximate the amount of damage in flicted, but it cannot, it was thought, fall short of $lOO,OOO. The course of the river will be permanently changed. —Portland Argus, Noy. 23. General News Items.

The number of drinking houses has increased from 460 to 2,500 in six years. It is said that the government has under con• sideration measures for closing the greater part of them, reducing the number all through the' country to about what it was six years ago.

Prof. Tyndale takes the ground that it expands; and thinks that he proves it; by fitting closely round blocks of ice.strong iron bands, and then submitting the whole to the action of a freezing mixture, when the iron bands shortly burst asunder with a loud noise. Others in ' sist that cold contracts iqe, and attrib• uto the bursting of the bands to the contraction of the iron. . • Some parties in Now England aro testing the practicability of co-opera tive farming. The principle upon which the experiment is being- con ducted is substantially this: A compa ny supplies tho capital for the pur chase and working: of ,the farm, and the food for the families employed upon it. When the crops are harvested, a dividend of the products is made ac cording to the e:ipifal and labor inves ted. This looks feasible, and doubtless if properly managed, would work well. A singular variation on the "Enoch Arden" romance is narrated as an in cident of last week in a country town of Cork, Ireland. The heroine of the adventure, married ten yetirs ago, was shortly afterwards forsaken by her husband, who emigrated to America. At the end of nine years she married again, the second husband, like the first, belonging to the laboring class.— Soon after this the return of the first husband was reported ; whereupon the woman, who had kept the faet . of her first marriage a profound secret, im mediately disappeared, and the most diligent search by_ 'both hUsbandti has failed to discover her retreat.
