WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—An Examining
Board of officers of the United States Ma
rine Corps has been ordered by the Navy
Department, to convene at the headquarters
in this city on Wednesday, the 17th inst.,
to decide upon the qualifications of candi
datei for appointment as Second Lieu
tenants.
The following compose the detail: Major
G. R. Graham, President; Ist Lieut. R. S.
Colburn; H. C. Cochrane,® Recorder. There
are only six vacancies to be filled, and it is
known that there are over 500 appleations
on file. The Marine Corps has always been
a favorite branch of the service.
Raphael Semmes, the famous Captain of
the Alabama, is held in close confinement
at the Marine Barracks, awaiting the action
of the G&Fernment. Colonel Commandant
Jacob Zeilin, U. S. M. Corps, is intrusted
with his safe keeping. Semmes is in good
health and spirits, and 'confident of being
able to justify hiS conduct during the. re
bellion.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided the case of the United States vs.
the steamer Mohawk. This was a libel to
procure a forfeiture filed in the Eastern Dis
trict of Michigan,under the act of-Congress,
of December 31st, 1792, which provides that,
'if any certificate of registry or record shall
be fraudulently or knowingly used for any
ship or vessel not then actually entitled to
the benefit thereof, according to the true in- ,
tent of this, act, such vessel shall be forfeited,
The claimants sec; up that they were the
sole owners, and that they purchased sub
sequently' to the enrollment and without
knowledge of the fraud, if any was commit
ted, for a valuable consideration in good
faith, under the act of 1852, the Mohawk,
which hitherto was a foreign vessel, and
obtained enrollment as an American
vessel.
But the Government insists that that act
did not remedy the fraudulent enrollment
while she was a foreign ship, and that the
act of 1852 should be read as a part of all
prior legislation on the subject ; that the
first registry was void from fraud and that
as the second registry was based on the
first it was also void.
The Court below held that the penalties of
the act of 1792 did not' apply to vessels en
rolled and licensed under the act of 1852
and dismissed the libel. The court now ap
proved that judgment. Justice Miller de
livered the opinion of the court.
From lowa
CHICAGO, Jan. 16th.—Gov. Stone,of lowa,
was inaugurated for his second term on
Thursday last.
Referring to the President's reconstruc
tion policy, he says: "While I could have
desired him to go further than he has, I
annot withhold my cordial approval of the
acts he has already done; in the exercise of
his Constitutional powers. I would counsel
my fellow-citizens to sustain him, while
performing his duties within the limits thus
defined, with,a generoui confidence and
elteerful 114t1PpOrt. "
On the subjsot of negro suffrage the
Governor'speaks very emphatically and
saya:—"UniVersal • freedom and political
equality must be defined as the cardinal.
.principles upon which this government
shall hereafter exist. Let us have courage
to maintain that, in as • much as four mil
lions of bondmen have become free by the
immutable fiat of the American people, they
shall be endowed with all measures neces
sary to defend that freedom against All who
may attempt to abridge it. Hereafter the
political power of the late insurgent States
mtuitbe'exercised either by loyal citizens
or traitors, or by both conjointly as
,prejn.-
dice may dictate, but sound policy can
never sanction MY disfranchisement of loin*
millions of freed people, 'whose loyal bayo
nets would constitute them an army of
occupation to the government inthe North."
The Governor opposes the re-admission of
the States lately in insurrection back again
into the Union, and says that to expect, a
permanent or satisfactory adjustment of the
Union with the SOuthern States still adher
,
ing to the pernicious doctrine' of State soy
,
ereignty, would, in' his judgment, be the
suicide of hope, and to shield the country
• from the inevitable calamity of a hasty res
toration,the refractory States should be kept
out of the Union , until .political guarantees
are received Witt their 'inhabitants' have
abandoned their offensive theories,and these
epidemics oftreason are permanently abated.
He recommends.. an amendment to the
lowa State Pimstitutidn, striking , nut the
word white from the artible on' suffrage, in
order that.the much-agitated question may
be submitted to the people for their ultimate
and final decision:

not under menace. • .

CATAssuquA, Pa., San. 16.—The machine
shop of the Lehigh Crane Iron Compatty

roads be instructed to adopt a liberal policy
either by the report of a general law for
the organization of railroad companies or
special charters to all roads calculated to
develop the resources of any and all parts
of the State.
Second, That the construction of a through
line on the route indicated by the contract
between the Atlantic and Great Western
and Reading railroads with branches to
Pittsburg and Erie ought to be encouraged
by appropriate legislation;
Third, That the extension of the Connells
ville Railroad eastward in the direction of
Baltimore and Washington, with branches
to connect with the Lebanon Valley Rail
road, is alike required by the commerce of
the country, and the local claims of the
counties through which the same would
pass.
Fourth. That a healthful competition by
through lines is required to secure to the
citizens of the State cheap rates of freight
and fare, and that all railroads deriving
their charters from the State should be re
quired to do the local business of our citi
zens at.the 'lowest rate charged upon any
such road.

A, B, C and D; there were about two hun
dred men in those four companies at the

SNOW, SLusn AND MUD.—We had a
heavy snow storm last night. The white
flakes commenced to fall about six o'clock
in the evening,and continued to come down
very lively until about three o'clock., this
morning, covering the ground to the depth
of about six inches. During the night there
was a strong gale prevailing and the atmos
phere was quite sharp, but this morning the
wind died away and the thermometer has
ranged from thirty-five to forty degrees. In
the rural sections there will probably be
fine sleighing for several days, but while
people are enjoying themselves there, the
pedestrians in the city will be suffering from
mud and slush. Already the streets occu
pied by passenger railways are Ma horrible
condition, made so by the salt scattered
upon them by the railway companies.
The storm has somewhat interfered with
travel. The passenger railway companies
experienced considerable difficulty in
breaking ground early this morning, but
four horses were attached to the cars and
they soon got along pretty well. The trains
on the Pennsylvania railroad have been
several hours behind time to-day, showing
twit the storm has been very severe at the
west. The Camden & Amboy trains expe
rienced a slight delay, but those on the Balti
more, Philadelphia and Trenton 'Reading,
Germantown (k, Norristown, and North

time.

Money is abundant as ever on the street. and "call
loans" are readily placed at six per- cent, while good
mercantile paper ranges from seven to ten per cent.
This abundance and ease, however, Just now affords
no ineertive for speculation in either merchandise or
stocks. Among the merchants there are universal
complaints of dullness, and stock operators are us.
willing to enter into any new ventures until it is
known what action Congress intends to take upon Mr.
Morrell's Finance Rill, and what action the passage of
that bill will have upon the finances of4he country.

FORTRESS MoNsoE,Ja,n. 15.---Orders were
received yesterday from the War Depart
ment to discharge all employes in the Vari
ous Government Departments in this district
who bad been in any way connected.with
the rebel service. In accordance with these
instructions, the Commanding • General
immediately dismissed all such, about
twenty-five in number, giving them short
notice to leave the place.
The Agent of the National Express Com
pany was also sent away for the same
reason. This order was undoubtedly caused
by the rumor that an organization was
being formed to rescue Jeff. Davis.
Armed picket , boats are on duty con
stantly to examine all vessels arriving in
this harbor. •
The bark Anna Sherwood, from Leghorn
for New York, has put in for shelter.

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 16.—The inaugural

the people have in their election spoken in
its favor, and he knows the Legislature will
gladly pass it.
He returns thanks to the soldiers and
recommends action for the welfare of those
disabled in their country's service. He op
poses anything like repudiation and favors
the cause of education, the maintenance of
the purity of the ballot box and economy
in the State finances.
He expresses fall faith in the ability, pa
triotism and fidelity of President Johnson,
and trusts the Legislature will strengthen
and support the Executive and Congress
through joint action.
We shall soon have a reconstructed Union,
in which the natural rights of all men will
be fully guaranteed.

HOUSE.—Mr. Conkling (N. Y.) offered
resolutions, declaring the condition oa
which the Southern States shall resume

Kist Pitirs—Justice Read.—The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, et al. vs. The
Atlantic and Great Western Railroad Com
pany, et al. This case was resumed this
morning. Hon. Robert T. Walker who
commenced his argument late yesterday,
again addressed the court this morning. He
referred to the agreement between the Sun
bury and Erie Railroad Company and the
Catawissa Railroad Company, by which
the parties covenanted to leave all
disputes to referees. The plaintiffs, as
the lessees of the Ballade. and Erie Rail
road, were obliged to comply with this
stipulation, and Mr. Walker tendered to
them the nomination of the referee. 'ln
regard to the application for an injunction,
he cited a large number of authorities to
sustain the doctrine that the prelialinary
or special injunction will not be granted
where the injury to the complainant is
direct. The Pennsylvania Hailroad Com
pany has alleged no injury beyond the de
flection of trade from their road, which
allegation, if true. can be no cause for in
junction, as it is again subject to business
competition.
Mr. Walker referred to the term "con
necting roads," and quoted from the an
nual report for 1865, made by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, in which
it is announced that the Company bad ef
fected a "connection" with certain railroads,
and amongthem the Oil Creek road at Corry.
He next quoted ifrom Ashcrott's Railroad
Directory to show that the roads thus
claimed to be "connected" with the Penn
sylvania Railroad are of differen gauges.
In regard to the charge that the consolida
tion of the companies and the construction
of the proposed road would deflect trade
from' Plailadelphia, he urged that the reverse
was the fact. This was shown by the acts
of the New York and Erie road, which is
the greatest opponent the respondents have
to Meet. That Company opposes the new
line because of its desire to retain the trade
between the West and New York.
The argument is not concluded.
