JEFF. DAVIS' TRlAL.—Chief Justice
Chase opened the U. S. Court at Rich

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Brigharo Young on Long, Dresses.
In a 4.euent, sermon, Brigham Young,
the Mormon Prophet, delivered the
following, homily on the fabhions

I have asked thorn if -they think it

do not be extravagant and cut them
'so short that wo cad toe the tops of

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.

The Council of State of the Canton
of Obwald, Switzerland, has published
an edict, forbidding any youth under
eighteen years orage to smoke, under
a severe' penalty. If the youth of this
country could be restrained from the
use of tobacco until they were eigh
teen years of age, it would save many
from enfeebled health, would prevent
the formation of the habit in multi•
lades, and would save a mint of money
A letter from West Point says:
"Young Air. Grant, or 'Fred,' as he is
called,got a short furlough to welcome
his filther and mother. Ho is irit, fair,
fresh-skinned .boy, bluish-gray
eyes, rather chubby_ in appearance,
and is not,, by any means,
in the opin
ion of the students:Abe' brightist bay
in his studies. Still he has that tinny,
massive, head and. manner of looking
steadfastly, like his father, at matters
'and things, whfeh has o macie the fatter
famous." ,
English savans are discussing with
considerable earnestness the question
whether ice expands or contracts un•
der the action of cold. 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.
