BEOOND EDITION. BY TELEGRAPH. SOUTHERN STATE GOVERNMENTS. Important Washington Rumor, New Loyal Organizations to be Formed. No Respect to Color. Important Report About Southern State Governments. NEW YORK, March 12.—The Tribune has the subjoined despatch from Washington, which it editorially endorses as reliable: "The question of the recognition of the State Governments in the lately rebellious States will shortly be brought to a practical test. Measures have been taken by pro minent loyalists in the South, and are now being perfected under the advice of leading men in Congress, to bring this question to an (ugly decision. The plan is as follows: Loyal men, and they only, both black and white, in the States of Arkansaa, North Carolina, Louisiana and elsewhere, have taken steps toward the formation of new State Governments. These loyal men, without respect to color, will shortly issue calls in their respective States for State Conventions, and elect delegates thereto; the COnventions so formed will frame State Constitutions embodying the principles of loyalty, freedom and equal rights; will pledge themselves to the payment of, the National debt, the repudiation of the rebel debt, and the disfranchisement of the rebels. This being done, they will then proceed to elect Governors, State officers, Representatives and Senators; the latter of whom will at once demand admission to Congress. The question thus being thrust upon that body, there is no doubt of the recognition of the governments so formed, and the admission of the loyal members so elected. A num ber of true and loyal men of the South have been here for some days consulting and deciding upon the best method to be adopted, and having determined upon the plan pre sented above, have left for their homes to carry the same into execution. The matter has been _kept very quiet up to this time, but as the movement in most of the States is now well under way, no harm can, and perhaps much good may, be done the Union cause by giving the facts to the public at thig time." From Fort Monroe.

Greene, the United States Pension agent in this city, is nowliusily engaged in paying the pensions of wounded soldiers, the widows of soldiers, &c. There are about twelve thou sand pensioners who receive their pay in this city. The new plan adopted by Col. Greene, arranging the days of payment ac cording to the alphabet, works admirably. The office is, never overcrowded, as it has been heretofore. Everybody knows upon what day to call, and then there is but little delay in obtaining the money. The work is accomplished much more rapidly, and in one day there are paid nearly twice as many as there were under the old system, when everybody made a rush, and many, after waiting for hours, were obliged to go away disappointed. The plan of Colonel Green is not only a blessing to the pension ers, but is beneficial to the Government, as • it enables him to settle his accounts promptly. • ARREST OF CORNER LOUNGERS.

Also the bill to fix the rate of mileage for officers traveling on public duty. At twelve and a half o'clock, the bill to extend the time for withdrawing goods from the public stores and bonded warehouses was taken up. Mr. Sprague i P.. I.) took tire floor in op position to the measure. HousE.—The firs* business in order during the morning hour was the call of committees for reports, the reports to be placed upon the calendar. None were made. The next business was the call of the States for resolutions. Mr. Ashley (Ohio) offered a resolution di recting the joint committee on the Library to inquire into the expediency of purchas ing the portrait of Hon. Joshua R. Gid dings, now on exhibition in the Congres sional Library. Mr. Ashley stated that the picture was painted and owned by Miss Ransom of Cleveland, Ohio, and was a work of art as faultless as it was a faithful representation of a great and good man who had for nearly a quarter of a century - Faithful MOM" with prophet's finger Pointingtowaid the blessed to-be When beneath the spread of Heaven Every creature shall be free." Mr. Eldridge (Wis.) demanded the yeas and nays, and being ordered, the vote re sulted in yeas 7S, nays 33. So the resolution was adopted. Mr. Julian (Ind.), by nnaminous consent, introduced a bill to fix eight hours as a:day' s work: in all cases where laborers, mechan ics or artisans shall beemployed by or under the authority of the Government of the United States. It was read twice and re ferred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Spalding (Ohio) introduced a joint re solution in reference to the taxation of United States notes and certificates of in debtedness by the several States. The joint resolution proposes to enact tha: the act of June 30, 1564, shall not be so construed as to exempt from taxation, by or under State or municipal authority, United States notes or certificates of indebtedness bearing interest. The joint resolution was read twice. Mr. Spalding moved to refer it to th: Committee of Ways and Means, with leave to report at any time, and also moved the previous question, which was seconded. Mr. Wentworth (111.)objected to the latter part of the motion, giving leave to report at any time. He wanted no repudiation. The Speaker—lt is too late to object. The House has ordered the main question. Mr. Stevens—l hope the gentleman will make it a resolution of inquiry. 2.-D CENTS The Speaker—There are no instructions in the joint resolution. It is simply to he referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. - _ Mr. Wentworth—l would scarcely object to refer anything now since the guarantee of the Mexican bonds was referred. [Laugh ter.] Mr. Conkling (N. Y.)—Will it be in order for me to ask the mover of that resolution to modify it so as to make it applicable only to such securities as shall be issued here after ? The Speaker—lt can only be done by unanimous consent. Mr. Spaulding—l shall not consent to that. I want to tax the greenbacks in the States. It is as much as we can do to carry the interest-bearing bonds without taxa tion. - - - Mr. Morrill (Vt.)—Will not the gentle man make it a resolution of inquiry? Mr. Spalding—lt goes no farther than that it will be submitted to the Committee on Ways and Means. Mr. Wentworth moved to reconsider the vote ordering the main question. Mr. Stevens (Pa.)-1 move to lay the joint resolution on the table. It is rank re pudiation, and nothing else. The vote ordering the main question was reconsidered. Mr. Stevens withdrew his motion. Mr. Rogers (N. J.) renewed it and called for the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays being ordered the vote resulted in yeas 42, nays 90; so the resolution was not laid on the table. Mr. Spalding then modified his resolution by striking out the words "certificates of in debtedness." Several members objected to the right of modification, but the speaker ruled in favor of it. On the suggestion of Mr. Hooper (Mass.), it was further modified so as to read "that that act of June 30th, 1864, shall not be so construed as to exempt from taxation by or under State or municipal authority, any amount of 'United States notes not bearing interest held by any person as money." The previous question was again se conded and the main question ordered; the joint resolution was referred to the Com mittee on Ways and Means. Arrival of Steamers at New York.

Snell, who was shot while passing along the street in the' Eighteenth Ward in company with her husband and son, on the 7th inst., died on Saturday afternoon. It was reported at the time that the shooting was accidental. ANECDOTE OF "DER Faziscid.uTz."—A story is told by Hector Berloiz, which is.as wildly romantic as if concocted in the Wolf's Glen at midnight. We give it in his own words: "When 'Der Freischutz' was per formed in Paris, I was young and euthusi astic—oh, enthusiastic a rnouirr. Weber took my heart by storm. I had never heard such music: it drove me out of myself—it bewitched—it enthralled me. There was then a young medical student in Paris, my bosom friend—his name was Eugene Sae. The world has since known it. What Weber was to me,Weber was to him; we both venerated, we both idolized the great Carl. Night after night were we in the front row of the gallery. To us it was in deed Paradise. We never missed a re presentation. But tastes differ, mon There was a fellow who came there as regularly as we; but when we applauded he hissed—when we applauded hesneered. The animal hissed and sneered at Carl Von Weber! Was it supportable? No! Three times did I and Sue fallupon him vi et armis, and three times was he rudely ejected from the shrine which he profaned. Eh, bien! macs le temps marehe toujours. Our first fervor for "Der Freischutz" abated, but not our friendship. One night, years after, Sue came to me; he was in the Hotel Dieu. "Guess, my dear friend," said he, "who has died in my ward? A man with a strange disease of the brain, producing distortion of the skull." "Eh bien ! and what then ?" "Why, the man is "—"Who?" " The old unbeflever in Der Freischutz.' " Again years passed over, and I had forgot ten about the matter. Sue was a great novelist. I had charge of the Grand Opera-. I determined to get up "Der Frei schutz." The incantation scene was to be specially splendid. It was not until the last moment that I found I wanted a skull. Off I sent to my old friend Sue. The author had not forgotten the doctor, and his small cabinet of medical curiosities was at my service. "Take that skull," he said. "but for heaven's sake be careful of it ! Never was there a finer specimen of a rare disease." So GI I went with the relic of mortality. Carefully did I place it in its position among vampires and owls. and fiery serpents, and skeleton horses. It was not until the casting of the seven bul lets had commenced that a thought flashed upon me, The skull ! Gracious powers ! I t may be—it must be—it is—it is—the skull of the man that hissed "Der Frieschutz !" I flew around to Sue's box. I told him my thought, and he corroborated it. Marvelous the course of retributive justice? We leaned over the cushion, we gazed at the mute grinning basin of bone, and we said, as with one voice, "This is 'Der Freischutz!' " The music of Carl Von Weber is thundering around you ! and now, skull, hiss—hiss— hiss—if you can!" SUFFOCATED IN A DISTILLER'S VAT.- The distillery of Mr. Sanger, No. 25 Affal ton place, in Thirty-ninth street, near the North River, has lately been seized by the Internal Revenue officers, the proprietor being accused of attempting to defraud the Government. Two officers, named Wil liam R. Griffith and Abraham Blauvelt, were glaced in charge, and on Saturday commenced to take an inventory of the contents of the place. While so engaged, Mr. Griffith opened a trap-door, which he supposed led to the cellar, but, unfortu nately for him, it was an immense vat, eight feet deep and twelve feet square. nearly filled with mash for the making of whisky. Without looking where he was going, the officer stepped forward and fell into the vat. His companion ran into the street and found officer McTaggart of the Sanitary Police, with whom he returned, but on hauling out the unfortunate man found that he was quite dead.—Y. Y.
