It is a significant fact that he sent in no nominations yesterday or to-day, and the probability is `that ho Will "hold up"- for a time In this particular. But this expectation may not be well-founded, for last night he gave his first State dinner of the season, and probably was too busily engaged in "doing the agreeable" to his guests, to think about more nominations, This matter off his mind, he will doubtless go to work again in earnest, and inundate the Senate with his uairsives, so as to let the Senators know that he "still lives." Speaking of the State dinner reminds me that the company present comprised a very curious combination. The members of the Cabinet were present, with their wives—as in duty bound—for they would be wanting in respect to their patrol and chief if they declined his invitation to a • •grand But the most noticeable feature at this dinner was the "distinguished" consideration"iven to the "Immortal seven" Radicals who vot ed against impeachment. Rumor has it that all of tam were invited—Fessenden, Grimes, Henderson, Rose, Trumbull, Fowler and Van Winkle: - All except the first two named, were happy in placing their legs under the Presi dcntlal mahogany, - and having •`a good time' with stick sterling Democrats as Hendricks, EicCreery, Vlckens - ' Buckalew and Bayard. Verily, the seven are receiving their reward. Fessenden,a little too shrewd to be caught In Poch company,ptt.aiortime,was not prescnt;nor Grimes. whose health is very feeble just now; but all the others were on hand to ke.tity theirappre elation of the high regardiantertained by the Pre sider t for their "eminent services." Eleuderson't d Van Winkle's terms expire with ,Johnson's, so there were doubtless many deep regrets ex pressed that the time was coming soon when they would be compelled to retire to the - 'peace faishades,of private life. Retribution tuts fol lowed Henderson and Van Winkle Neu , ' quickly, and in due time it will overtake the others. In the mean time, let us Poisess ourselves with pa tience.: THY Fir_NATE CAUCUS AND THE PPNDINii Nom.N.ft- It is settled that the action of the Senate Re publican caucus yesterday seals the late of all, or nearly all, the nominations now before the Senate, so air as the present session is conclinied; - ty lug them up" completely. This appline to the nominations of Cummings, for Commis sioter-of internal Revenue; Marks; fer Collector of the port of Philadelphia; Florence for Assessor Second District, Fougeray for Assessor Fourth District, Pennsylvania, and John P. O'Neill for District Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, none of which will be acted upon. O'Neill, Florence and Fougeray hold commis thins which will expire on the 4th of March, and this will give the Republicans an opportunity to fill those positions after that time. Eenator Cameron acquiesces in the action of the caucus, and expresses an intention not to pre F 8 the confirmation of Cummings or Marks, in which be has heretofore taken a strong in terest. THE VORTI-lIRST CONGRESS A leading member of the House, desirous of ascertaining the sentiments of both Houses con cerning the repeal of the existing law, which requiree the Forty-first Congress, and each enc• welding one, to meet at its first session on the stb of March following the election of members, has made a. canvass of both Houses, and the result of his investigation is that he finds a large majority of the present House are opposed to the repeal of the law, and the Senators are about equally divided upon the question. This settles the matter, however, that the Forty-first Congress will meet on the sth of March, which will give 'General Grant an opportunity to present such measures De he may deem advisable to promote the peace, prosperity and welfare of the country. Both Houses and the President being in -accord; bhsi nt•ss will be despatched very rapidly, so that the spring session may not be prolonged beyond the middle of April or first of May. If the Tenure of Office law should not be changed or repealed, this will give President Grant ample opportunity to make such changes in public officers as he may deem proper. There will be no opposition to confirmations then, for a nomination from the new President will be equivalent to a confirmation, and business will be despatched very, promptly. • a • ; ;: \I F. • i ik The National Intelligencer, for several days past, has been laboring heavily under ponderous editorials, two columns long each day, to prove that President Johnson is one of the most pare and exalted patriots that ever occupied the chair of Washington, and that posterity will reward him for the sacrifices he has made, and the perse cutions be has endured. It is truly affecting to %Wass the devotion of the Intelligencer to its pa 'ton saint. The explanation Is that finow,one, of the proprietors, was recently appointed by the President a Government Director In the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and only yesterday Simeon Johnson, one of its editors, was nomi nuted:by the President to the Senate as 'a commissioner to codify the laws of the United Scans. Of course the haelligencer could not do less than praise the source from whence these bless iLes flow; but the last-named nomination seems to be one which is not likely to be much more than empty honor to the recipient. t President Johnson has been true to the "Johnson family," arid did his he to reward his friend Simeon, but ho can't put him through the Senate!

Daring the whole time that the renowned mule-tamer was giving his evidence, a broad grin would occasionally over spread the features of judge, jary, lawyers and audience. Mr. Forepaugh, in his testimony, flatly contra dicted the evidence of Dan as tb having given. ram power to employ and discharae, and said tat he had not made a contract with Mr. F. for $4O per week; that his employ& had been paid every week by the treasurer.

Mr Dean, a member of the Rouse from New Castle county, and an' extensive manufacturer, yes terday gave noticeof his intention on to-morrow, or some future day, tointroduce a bill to annul the charter of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad. The proposition, although anticipated by many, causes considerable excitement and comment. A. majority of the people of the State no doubt favor the project. and were it not that the State would Or,. more injured than the Railroad Company, the Annulment of the charter might be looked upon s a fixed fact. A proposition has also been Introduced, which meets with considerable favor, to repeal the usury law; the chancts of its passage are very clattering. The new tax bill , about to be offered by the Committee on Ways and Means wit be of a -weeping„character. It proposes to tax all rail -oad corporations for State and county purposes, the gross receipts,of all manufacturers. churches, .nd church pruperty, ministers of the gospel, ferte Masons, Odd Fellows, and all other benevo ut associations: The - agricultural interests of the State will be exempted from the operations of the bill, It being contended. that the harden of taxation heretofore fell upon agriculture.

The Fray at the: Villanueva Theatre— General Hulce beelines to Proclaim kree Government—Consular titeports from oanta Cruz: Havana, Jan. 23, 1869.—A disturbance took la se at the in the Villanueva of theatre last evening,which ulted killing several n's. and the wounding of others. This thea pe t rso re -le •Jnostly patronized by Cubans, and it is asserted that the perforinance of last evening was given in aid of the insurrection. The boxes were mostly taken by natives, and a number of Spaniards who applied for places were infornied that they were all engaged. One or two of thelOc.al ;rapers seem to - have had a pregioni ikon that a disturbance would take place, and La Prentai in its evening edition, advised all honor able people to be on their guard. At tho hour of opening the house was well filled; the piece was of a local character, and during its performance some one shouted—" Viva the land which •pro duces the sugar! Viva Cuba!" and other , cries. This continued for some time, when some person -shouted " Viva Cespedes !" which virus followed by a tremendous excitement. The volunteers in at tendance, who would seem to have lost their wits; tired a volley into the audience which was followed by a number of random shots. The re ports in reference to the killed and wounded are numerous and exaggerated. The scone which followed beggars description, as there wore pre sent women and children. .The audience began to pour out as rapidly as poilsible, during which an occasional shot was heard, which added to the panic. The number of persons killed at the theatre was seven; of wham one is a baby. The wounded and bruised cannot be ascertained; they were many. The fight commenced at half-past lathe P. id. by shots fired outaideby.the volunteers, which were answered from inside by the Cubans. It lasted till half-past two this morning. The report of the Cuban meeting in favor of self-government tor this island was recently submitted to General Duke, with a request that -be would promulgate ie.

The United States consular agent at Santa Cruz, under date of the 16th, - writes to the acting Consul- General in this city as follows • • From the very beginning di the insurrection I put up the American flag over my property, Bituati d nine miles from this port, expecting that the'insurgents 'would respect it, and so they did until the 15th inst., when they obliged some families of the vicinity to go on my place, and being- there the chief of the insurrectionists, :lamed M.

Win. J. Korn, L. N. Laidlaw, and a clerk in the Export Bureau of the Now York Custom- House, have been arrested by Deputy U. 8. Mar shal Nodine, of the Eastern District, Brooklyn, at the Instance of District-Attorney Tracy, under warrants issued by Judge Benedict. The charge is that of defrauding the Government by procur ing large sums of money upon fraudulent clams for "drawbacks," presented and pissed at the utlice of Ihe 'Fifth Auditor in the Treasury De partment at Washington. The frauds with which the accused 'are charged extended through a period of seven months from January to July. 1867. The smOnnt realized was nearly $60,000. The plan of these frauds was about aa follows: Under a law Which prevailed from 1862 until Feb ruary, 1868, there was a tax of 5 per cent. Im posed upon all domestic manufactures; but when the articles were exported, the amount levied in taxes was refunded. In order 10 secure the re turn of the money, an exporter had to obtain from the Internal Revenue Collector of the dis trict In which the goods were manufactured a receipt showing' that the tax bad been paid. Then he must obtain a certificate from a Custom- Rouse officer that the goods described in the Collector's receipts had been ex ported. The exporter, upon exporting the goods, was required to give a bond that the goods shonld not be relanded within the Cc lied States. With the certificate of the Super inter dent of Exports, showing that a bond had been given, the claim was presented to the Trea bury Department and the. amount paid In tax refunded. The allegations in this case are that the defendant, Korn, with others whose names have not yet appeared,succeeded in obtaining the above stated amount upon bogus 'exports, and that Laidlaw and the Custom tisane clerk , also acted in promoting the fraud. Korn is held to bail in the sum of $40,000, and the others in lessor amounts. District Attorney Tracy has been at Washington during the last two weeks, and upon examination of the records of the Fifth Auditor's Mee found that frauds of this character had been perpetrated during the past two years to an extent which Is perfectly alarming, the amount being estimated at not less than $500,000. War rants have been Issued for the arrest of other parties alleged Jo have been concerned in the fraudulent transactions, and they will undoulit• Idly soon be executed. When the ease comes before the Court further developments may be expected—such as will open the eyes of the coun try to a new system of fraud, gigantic in its pro portions.—N.

One is an Italian idyl, a landscape from Leopold 11@bort's fatuous painting called the "Harvest." The Peasantry dancing under the Southern nun to the quick Tarentella movement, the lowing of the cattle and graceful grouping of the figures are pert( ctly artistic. The second grand tableau is the feast given by Cresar in his ducal palace; all the voluptuousness of the East and depravity of Babylon are rendered most vividly; Wino ON etflows, a thousand lights glitter, while ballet tippets, like sirens, enchant the intoxicated guests,. Succeeding the banquet is the confil oration , cift the mime.- The stage is covered with shot Wren, amine lesi than 1,500 pieces of burn ing embers, supposed to bu the beams, roofs and walls, are tossed up by artificial flames.

(For the Ms. Evenbur Bulletin.) 4.Pleafor Blackbirds. PENNA. SOCIETY FOR THE PERYINITION OF CRII ELI 1" TO ANMALS, No. 1820 Chestnut street.— Messrs. Editors: in Mayor Fox's , loroclamation, mbodying the action of Councils for the protec tion of birds,l observe with regret that the black bird is excluded from its provisions; If this ordi Dance is framed at all In the interests of agricul ture, I fear the omission to protect this useful vied is &very grave oversight. By the admission, that blackbirds are game, I fear it will, for obvious reasons, nullify the whole spirit of the ordinance. If gunners are conceded the right to shoot this bird, what is to prevent them shooting other insectivorous birds indis criminately? But this bird protected, there will remain no excuse for the appearance of a gunner in all our rural diatects. The snipe, reed and rail bird frequent only the ferns and marshes on our river banks, and cannot be sought for in the Woods and fields. The ehrill whistle of the cart ridge, calling together her scattered brood at close of day i , s heard no more, and the Wood cock have likewise long since allgone. It is admitted that the blackbird like the crow, when driven by hunger, will interfere .with the newly-planted corn for the few days it takes for it to germinate; but It is not their natural food, and whilst a little oversight on the part of the fattier can guard against this, there is no human skill er foresight can reach the grub and eut worm, which decimate entire correfieldi. The birds, if unmolested, will reach them; and we may confidently assert that the injury they inflict when compared with the benefits they confer, is as the duet in the balance. Wilson, in his treatise on ornithology. volume 8, page 46, thtlei speaks of the weenie quiscala i or purple garkle of natu ralists—our crow blackbird. "About the 20th of March they visit Pennsyl vania from - the Booth, fly in loom flocks, and fol low in the furrows after the plow, their food con sisting at this season of worms, grubs and cater pillars. of which they devour prodigious num bers."' After alluding to the reputation they have for depredating on corn-fields, the same author proceeds to say: "As some consolation, however, to the industrious cultivator can as sure him that, wore I placed in his eitnation, I should hesitate whether to consider these birds more as friends or enemies, as they are par ticularly destructive to almost all the noxious worms, grubs and caterpillars that infest his fields, which were they ailowed to multiply un molested, would soon consume nine-tenths of all his labor, and desolate the country with the mis eries of famine. Is not this another striking proof that the Deity has created nothing in vain; and that it is the duty of man, the lord of the creation, to avail himself of their usefulness and guard against their bad effects, without indulging in the barbarous and even impious wish for their extermination ?" But aside from all other considerations, there is an act of the Legislature, passed on the 21st of April, 1558, now in force (that lb to say utterly disregarded), making it unlawful for any person within this Commonwealth to shoot, kill or in any way destroy, any insectivorous bird at any season. That the blackbird is insectivorous in" the highest degree, there cannot exist a 'shadow of doubt. With this view of the subject:3h° re cent action of Councils would seena to be at va riance with the higher action of the State. It is truly gratifying to find atttentiOn drawn' to this subject, so vital to the interest of man; and the time may yet came when art enlightened public sentiment will demand the protection of even such birds as are ostracised in the nayer's proclamation; for, useless and insignificant as they appear to our contracted vision, the too, have a part to perform in the great des ign of Providence, and were never created merely to minister to the sport of man.
