THE QUOTA OF HEW YOKE SEDUCED.
Albany, March l. — The'commission appointed
by the Secretary of War, consisting of Messrs. M.
I* Allen, of New Yo.k; John Dove, of Indiana;
and Channcey Smith, ot Massachusetts, for deter
mining upon the inequalities in the enrollment in
«h,c State, have come to the unanimous conclusion
that the enrollment was imperfect, erroneous and
excessive, especially with reference to the cities ot
New York and Brooklyn, and recommended that
the quota of the State be reduced from sixty thou
sand three hundred and seventy-eight to tlfty-two
thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, with a
corresponding reduction under the call of Feb.

FROM WASHINGTON.
"Washington* March j, IWH-- —Colonel Straight
called on the President this morning and spent
over an hour narrating his exploits in Bebeldom,
and giving him inlonnation as to the condition of
©nrprisoners in Bichmond.
Colonel Streight goes out to the army to consult
Vrith General Meade, and thence to Portress Mon*
roe,-to see General Butler. He is. very anxious to
command tinder General Butler, to enable him to
operate against Richmond. ;-
Attorney-General Bates closed his argument for
"Uncle Sam to-day in the Quicksilver case, before
the Supreme Court, and was followed by Judge
Slack for the Fosset claim, owned by the Com
pany. Owing to Judge. Black's being nnweli he
was compelled to ent off his argument and.go
home and the Comt adjourned until to-morrow
Mr. Bradley, before the House Military Ctftn
mittee, to-day, closed his argument against mak
ing the Barit an Bay Railroad a military and postal
road. Clarence Seward was. then heard for the
Baritan Bay Railroad. The coznmititee will re
port next week
As some controversy*exists inTennessee concern
ing the test oath prescribed by Governor Johnson
in his late proclamation, and as questions have
been raised as to its incompatibility with the Presi
dent 1 s Amnesty proclamation, it is proper to say
that it is known in Washington, beyond any doubt, ■
that the President and Governor Johnson are in
perfect accord in the matter of providing for a gen
eral election in that State, with the view of restor
ing Tennessee to her former position in the Union,
and that the President doeß not consider the Gov
nors, form of oath on the qualification ot voters as
incongruous With that which he himself has pre
scribed to be taken as preliminary to pardon, but
rather as an oath which should be respected and I
enforced, and of this fact there is reason tb believe
the people of Tennessee will be duly informed.
The bill supplementary to the loan act having
passed both Houses now only awaits the Presi
dent* s approval to become a law. It Is the same
as already published, with the addition that the
or registered bonds for $200,000,000 loan,
redeemable at the pleasureof the Governmentafter
any period notjess than five years, and payableat
any period not more than forty years from date ar©,
to be paid in coin. It is understood to be the pur?
pose of the Government to issue five percent,
bonds payable in forty years, but redeemable at tne
pleasure of the Government after ten years, the
principal and interest to he paid in gold; no doubt
is entertained that the bonds can be readily placed
at par. The plates will be immediately engraved.
The Senate to-day confirmed the nominations of
N. M. Ore, to be Assessoroflnternal Revenue for
the Third District of California, and Alfred
Briggs to be Collector of Internal Revenue for the
Fourth District of California. Second Lieutenant
David Evans was confirmed as First Lieutenant in
the revenue cutter service. D. N. Cooley to be
Commissioner of Taxes for the insarrectionary
district of South Carolina, vice A. D. Smith,
removed. _
Several days ago the House of Representatives
called upon the President to furnish a statement
showing the number of re-enlisted veterans irom
each State, and other information in that .connec
tion. To this the President replied, inclosing a
letter from the Secretary of War. who says that in
his opinion it would prove prejudicial to the public
service to transmit to the House at the present time
the information requested.
The bill which passed" the House to-day to
establish a Bureau of Freedmen’s Affairs, creates
that office in tbe War Department It is to be
placed m charge of a commissioner at the annual
salary of £4,000, to whom is to be referred the ad
justment and deiermmation of all questions arising
under any laws now existing or hereafter to be

and persons who are or shall become free by virtue
of any proclamation, law or military order issued,

AN ELOQUENT DENUNCIATION OP
|| . ' ‘TREASON.
ADDRESS OF HON.F. C. BRINCK IN THE HEW
JERSEY LEGISLATURE. ’
A hill proposed by-the Copperheads is before the
New Jercey Legislature, «in reference to soldiers
attending elections. It is ostensibly to protect the
ballot box. against military interference, bat iB
really intended to insult and injure the National
Government.
The main advocate of the bifl appears jp be'
Thomas Drmn-English, one ot the-most notorious
Copperheads In New Jersey. He was ably replied
to ontlib 25th nir by Hon. P. O. Brinck, Union,'
of Camden’ county.-: • The reporter
York Daily News borro wed Mr. Brinck* s MS., and
subsequently refused to return It, evidently hoping
'thus ti suppress h and loyal utterances.
Mr. B.» however, re-wrote his, remarks, and we
present them to our readers, with great pleasure,'
Theyjare as- follows:
MrJ Speaker—l hope the gentleman will not
. withdraw bis c inotion.‘ So far as objections to the
bill are-concerned, tf is itseure condemnation. As
we pass along the great highway of life, we oc
casionally meet with much that appears to be made
tip of opposites, not unlike •‘Nebnchadnezzar*B
image” composed of gold, silver,brass, iron, and
its rate of non and clay mixed—parts of each com
plete within itself, presi nting upon the whole a
very ludicrous figure, lor itself at
tention at a very inopportune moment. At a tim*,_
perhaps, when a slow-moving funeral proces
sion is bearing one to its last resting place, the at
tention of the spectators are called off by a loud
laugh as some barieauin presents itself, with all
its antics, and, no withstanding the solemnity of
the occasion, such is its ridiculousness as toe n
vuiseaU wi>n laughter. )f it be found, however,
that the guilty irifler is not only outraging all the
finer feelings of ihe human heart, but that it con
tained elements of the most inflammable and in
cendiary character, and that from ontof it, aie
ready to spring elements of evil and danger—Uks
ihe fabled Trojan Horse or Pandora’s Box. scat
enng death and destruction among the hapless
friends and spectators; I think it would be found
that thejoke had raised a storm and kindled a fire
which would require more power than he coaid
control, either to calm the r quench the other.
I think we are with-ssit g a similar scene in this
chamber to-day as we are looking upon the hun
dreds of funerals of our glorious martyred dead, as'
tney are being borne to their long home, having
lallen m the bio dy conflicts in which they have
been engaged v hile crushing out this rebellion, and
as we are employed, white our hearts are almost
breaking, mtiew <f the devastation and sorrow
-this war has produced, and are legislating away,
hurdreds of thousands (f dollars, that we may as'
fax as possible mitigate the evils that are upon ns,
our attention is called off by load jeers and coarse
laughter, and as we look, another •« Jumping
Jack*’ presents himself as an itinerant mounte
bank is seen stradling a harlequin hobby. It is in
appearance a figure reminding the beholder of
“Nebm hadnezar.’s Image. ” . It contains mneh.of
brass ; it has a body of brass and legs of brass, and
feet part copper and part clay, and its head is
copper, and its checks are brass; tt is a Copper
head.
It appears to be approaching the State House;
it draws near; it enters the gate; it approaches the
main entrance; it is near the door of this chamber;
it is coming in; make way for it; that it may be
seen by the members of this house and spectators;
it is now in full view; it asks you to pat it on Its
head; to kiss its cheek of brass; to take it in yonr
embrace: to dangle it on yonr knee: it is a very
funny fellow; bnt as I look at it* more carefully,
Xdiscover that it contains hidden springs, and that
as yon touch them vipers gleam upon you,and cop
perheads are ready to bite: it contains all manner
of inflammable, combustible elements; ready to
scatter death and destruction all around.
A bill is presented to-day tor our approval, enti
tled “An act for the better protection of the free
man of the State in the exercise of the elective
franchise;** and, if passed by this body, conjointly,
and signed by the Governor, becomes the law or
the State of New Jersey, making it unlawful for any
one, or more of the citizen soldiers of the State of
New Jersey to appear,at,or near any place where an
election shall be held, it in an incorporated city
within one-quarter of a mile, or within two miles
of the place of election, (this beingsligbtly modified
to-day. )Jf anywhere else, unless under and by
authority of the State or County; and thereby i
saying to the 30,000 of our citizen soldiers, < 1 You are
outlaws, yon have none of the rights, while
engaged in the service of yonr country, in pro
tecting the citizens of this, your State, and crush
ing out the rebellion of slave-breeders and slave
dealers, of citizens, or even aliens.** “We. the
Democratic party of the State, In Senate and
General Assembly met,*’ have so willed it, for, at
a grand conclave, held in Bergen county, the so
called Democratic party, alias peace copperheads,
met with other copperheads,some of whom occupy
quite a space in the public eye, among whom is a
certain Col. Wall, for 30days U. S. Senator, and
for 10 days U. S. prisoner. This is copperhead
No. 1. Anotheris a Fernando Wood, sometimes
called “ Fernandowud, * * and a near relative of a
certain St. Benjamin of the tribe‘of Wood, and of
the copperhead class, nowin the Congress of the
United States, representing that classical
part ol the city of New York, known
as Five Points, (in ■ candor I must
admit a proper representative of the said
people). This is Copperhead N 0.2. Next in order
comes a round greasy-faced Reverend, Ohauacy
Borr—everything by -turns, from a minister ins
different religions denominations, then an ultra
abolitionist; anon, an apostle of temperance, in
either of which positions he might have ranked
with grtat and good men, hut. the animal over
coming the moral, he became a bigamist, an adul.
Uftr, and finally, Copperhead No. 3. This bill, I
suppose, is an emanation of the above conclave
held in Bergen county. ■ Ills presented by a gentle
man irem the same connty, and In presenting,
and I suppose aiding in the preparation
of tnch a bill as ' Assembly bill No. ' 107,
and asking this and tbe co-ordinate branch of this
body, to make it a law of the State of New Jersey,
snpi oses one of two things, either that he, in tne
simplicity and sin erily of his heart, really sup
posed that the good people of the State of New
Jersey (needed him (the member from Bergen) to
look carefully after “the freemen in. the State in
the exercise of the elective franchise,” and that
■we should aid him in. passing a bill that would save
the people* from all fear and alarm and appre
hension and dread and danger, and so election
day should pass quietly away; and that we. par
taking of the same spirit, needed some bold, good
man to lead us on (as he led thatgallantband, with
sfcovel and hoe. when they went out to repair
roads, near a certain town ot which he was Mayor,
as he informed ue, in one of his brilliant speeches
a few days ago), and we should fall in like & flock
of sheep, he (said member from Bergen) being
“bell*6neep,” and so accomplish greet things-
Or, this bi»l has been prepared by bad unscru
pulous designing men for incendiary purposes— for
inch men, as comprised, the conclave in Bergen
county, could upon election day produce riot and.
blooished in a hundred places in the State worse
than was brought about by the Copperhead
Governor Seymour's friends in the City of New
York. For any citizen (Sec. 2. , Oth line), whether
aronk or sober, wise or foolish, young or old,
man or booby, may order away from the polls
any citizen-so.dier, or soldiers, whether upon

wise, we shall be'fined or imprisoned, or both, if
we neglect to convey to the Justice of the Peace
said offenders. Such is the bill we are called upon
to pass. I shall therefore conclude that you will
pass this bill, as, when this bill came up upon Its
second reading, you noted down different amend
ments which were offered* and especially the one
I had the honor of offering: *‘Unless said soldiers
are acting under the authority of the government
of the United States. ” Tneayes and noes being
called on this last, it was voted down by a strict
parly vote, (less one honored name—l revere him
