Field's Plan. A Washing,ton correspondent says : Cyrus W. Field, who is now here, has Sub mitted to Senator Sumner his proposition for the settlement of the Alabama claims. He proposes that the United States shall name three eminent persons, crowned heads, as . ar bitrators, from whom Great Britain shall se lect one, and his decision of the case shall be 'final and binding upon both parties, or that Great Britainlaball.name the arbitrators and that the United States shall make the Selection of the fated individual. Mr. Field had a long conference with Sumner yesterday on the sub ject. The latter does not favor the proposi tion. With all his respect for royalty, he does not think the United States 'would 'ket 'a - - fair show from any of the crowned heads of Eu rope. He is opposed to all Sorts' of arbitrators in this matter ? because he considers it beneath the dignity of our government to submit to anything of the kind. o Mr. - Field's rtdisjolf:js therefore a failure, so far as influencing Stun ner is concerned. assortment When Bailey took charge of, the Fonrth Revenue District, be laborell under many dif ficulties ; the affairs in the office were in great confusion, and it was some time before things got well regulated: The 'March and April itsts of the first year of his term were dis allowed by the Treasury Department. He deposited the funds collected by. him in the - Fourth National Bank; - whenever he required any amount of money he drew upon this account; but I do not think lie understood the law upon this subject. The ' 'treasury Department at one time sent Mr. Mania to examine Mr. Bailey's banking ac count; I had a long talk with gentleman on this subject; the matter was finally settled: Mit I do - not know in what manner this was accomplished, ;Mr, Bailey has done all that lay in his power to return all the money takes by him ; he did not want <the public to know how his affairs stood ; he was naturally a very proud man; he was also extremely ambitious, and would not submit to public disgrace. - Mr. Bailey always endeavored to detect fraud Wherever' it , was possible to do so; he. has repeatedly Said to me, "I do not -want money so much as I desiro the repu tation of a good and faithful officer. " I have often spoken to• Mr. Bailey in reference to his indebtedness to the Government, se far as T. was acquainted with the facts; his accounts were not always allowed at the Treasury De , - partment ; Money - was generally - paid in at ' the office in checks; large numbers of persons often came to pay their taxes: some mer chants who were pressed for time would- go to Mr. Bailey and give him their, - checks; he would give them receipts for the amounts, but often failed,•_to make any entry on the :hooks of these sums; be also returned num, c , hers of the above as not having aid. I have never, used ; :,any money - of t 6 office' for My own benefit, and wheneve , I received ;money always returned . ..it to the Cashier; .I beire in my posseSsion a letter frota Mr,,Bailey. which elearwrim from any suspicion of having ever received any funds in an unlawful man tier • he sent for me and gave it into my hands; Mr:Bailey admitted that lie was doing wrong, but seemed to think that be Would, eventually come out airtight ;,lwaki also sanguine of this, if sufficient time - were ailoWed; the cashier knew nothing of .

Action of Supervisor Dutcher Complaint Against Two of Bailey's Officers Latest 13 eport of the Investigation The New York Timm says: it was reported yesterday that ;Bailey left a confession with a Government official at the tine of his rlight,in. which he admitted hay ing committed several frauds during his offi cial career, and in which he. also asked that clemency might be shown his bondsmen. Efforts were made to procure a copy of the confession, but without success: Bupervisor B. Dutcher and other officers of the Internal Revenue were engaged yes terday in examining the books of the Thirty second Collection liistrict. The stamp ac count was found correct in every essential par ticular. The work of checking the assess ment lit-ts is progressing slowly, requiring the entire available force of the office, and will oc copy several days. As yet nothing has been found in this office to Implicate Collector Bailey in any irregularities. Affidavit of Col. Whiteley. Col. Whiteley appeared before Cotrunissioner Shields yesterday, and made the following im portant affidavit concerning the frauds in the Thirty-second District. 11. C. Whiteley, being duly sworn, deposes anti says that he is chief of the Secret Service of the United States, and that from informa tion and belief one J. F. Bailey, Collector of the Thirty-second District, one C. S. Childs, Deputy Collector of said district, and one Frederick Low, Cashier, did cons ire to de- - 1/113 mica :states out or a large - suitc- - of money, to wit: 9 E-100 7 004.4 contrary to section ::;41 of the act of Congress, approved March 2, Is,ti7; that deponent bases his information upon the confession of J. F. Bailey, Collector of the Thirty-second District, to the effect that he,the said Bailey, bad absconded and was adefaulter by the appropriation to his own use of a large anuinut of the Government. funds, and -was desiroug of clemency for his bondsmen. That said C. S. Childs, Chief Deputy, and 'manager of Bailey's office, in connection with the said Low, cashier and keeper of the funds in-the said office, did aid, abet and conspire' with said Bailey to defraud the United,States, contrary to the statute in such case made and provided ;• that the relations of the said Childs and Low to the business of the said Collector, in his office, theireare of the assessment rolls, their custody of the money collected and their duties in . receipt of the said moneys, and in the disbursement thereof, were such as would. give them knowledge of such defalcations. That the deponent has had conversations with the said Childs, and he now professes his wil lingness to give information touching such de faleati ons,but the deponent deems It linnortant that steps be immediately taken to insure the presence of the said Childs, and said Low, and said Bailey; Upon due 'and proper legal information of the same. tr. C. WHITELEY. Childs waived an examination, and gave bail in .74,000 to appear for trial. 'Low wag not arrested. What the Distriet-Attorney Says. District-Attorney Pierrepont is authority for the assertion that Bailey's defalcation will be pretty large. The Investigating Committee, of which he is a member, found it to be about Slat,ooo,, but are not certain to he confined to this amount. It occurred by receiving taxes which bane` never been entered upon the books, and by abstracting the office funds from the safe after they bad been paid in by the merchants. It will be impossible to ascertain the exact amount of the fends until ail the re ceipts are collected. A ContradieUon. A positive denial has been given to the re port announcing that Baileys error in his ac counts in the Fourth District arose from the eonfusion in which the accounts had fallen in that °lnce before he entered it. Those who have stated this are said to be mistaken in their assertion from the fact that the accounts of Mr. John Mack,' his predecessor"in the Fourth District, were fully audited and allowed by the Treasury Department. It was found that the latter had 'overpaid the Gov ernment, and a balance amounting to $l,BOO was Therefore: paid back to him by the Treasury. • Another Statement by Childs. Another statement was made b3t Childs : yes terday, concerning his knowledgiJ Of .Batley's transactions, of which the following is the substance: knowledge; if Mr. Bailer wanted any money, tiPecashier was bound to give it to Liim ; .the stamp account,. was always ••correct. .1 am willing to abide my actions, anti face whatever Charges may be presented in regard to iny- . self; I never exposed „these proceedings • be fore, becattse,l supposed Mr. Bailey would cancel all his obligations and;come out right in the end ;• although he used these sums of money, Ido not, believe he intended .to do wrong; he (11.4 not make me his confidential adviser in every particular ; the Cashier,. who is my nenhew„ has been with us since we took charge of the office." COL. E. N. YERGER. Particulars of his Stratum Escape from Jail in Mihsissippl.--Jle Compels fa 'lend to Diomount from ids Horse and fifties Away. (From tho Jaokoon Clarion, of March 15.1 The public was somewhat surprised, at an , early hour on Sunday morning last, by the an nouncement that E. M. Yerger bad esoaped from jail, and various and contradictory were the conjectures and rumors that pre vailed during the day concerning the event. ; apears tat te risoner had become of patient p under h tbe h sev p eral postponements of the bearing of his petition for bail under, writ of habeas corpus, and was especially indignant toward his counsel on Saturday last for hav ing agreed to the postponement of the case for still another month, lie determined to make his escape, and intimated as much to his coun sel, and, perhaps, to others. When the pris oner was placed in the custody of the Sheriff, he was confined as other prisoners; but the rules of the prison were greatly relaxed in his favor on the pledge of his counsel that he would not attempt to escape, or avail himself of any opportunity of doing so. After the proceedings of SaturcLay, and the threat of the prisoner to escape, the Sheriff was notified by his counsel that they, would no longer be responsible for his remaining in confinement. Acting upon this notice, Sheriff Lake and his deputy visited the jail about 11 on Saturday night, with a view to securely locking up the prisoner. They found him insensible from or /E . /gm:dry se. ann could not remove him to a cell withont lifting him bodily. They concluded that he SVfm Icl be harmless until morning, and so left him. For all this, and the general . management of the jail, Sheriff Lake has been made the sub ject of much gross and absurd abuse. We are no champion of his or any other appointee of the late Gen. Ames, but, occupying an import ant public office as he does, we are surpnsed to see such wholesale denunciation of him from a quarter where his loyalty should have been better understood and better appreciated. Ihe appointment of Mr. Lake to the office of Sheriff was only one of many other outrages perpetrated upowour people, but that he Las not been efficient and faithful in the discharge of his duties has been first discovered by brethren of his own political household. In our opinion, Mr. Lake did precisely what any other Sheriff would have done with any other prisoner alike charged before the' law, when importuned by respecta,- hie and responsible counsel, and when like pledges for good faith on the part of the pris oner were made him. He was, nevertheless, legally responsible for the Hate-keeping of the prisoner . ; but certainly there appbars no ground ; for criminal cOnnivance on the part of the Slu rifles has been uncharitably, and, we be lieve, unjustly insinuated aeaanst him. The prisoner left the jail about fi o'clock A. M. having evidently sealed the high plank fence by the aid of a barrel, box and bucket placed against it. The fenoe is -raged -twenty feet high. It seems that be had prevailed upon the jailer to go to the market-house near by and to procure him a cup, of coffee, and during his absence made Ids escape. • He pro ceeded up President street be the residence of Mrs. Buck, which he entered; visited seve ral rooms, and inquired for a friend. He con tinued up that street, and when just north of the Penitentiary wall, met a gentleman on horseback. This proved to be Mr. Wilson, now occupying the residence - of Mrs., Clark. He was on his way to market. He spoke to Yerger, asked him how he was getting along, &c., supposing that he had been admitted to bail, and was taking a morning walk. He asked Mr. Wilson to disnMent,. to which the latter objected, remarking that sickness in his family required him to hasten back from mar ket. Yerger then ordered him to dismount, and, getting on the horse, rode off with all possible speed. As soon as the Sheriff was informed of its flight, couriers 'were deepatched in all direc tions,and armed guards were employed during the day in searching private resulence.s under the belief that he was yet within' the city. limits. A liberal reward will doubtless be of fered for his apprehension, and eflert will be epared to obtain it. 31r. Yerger' certainly . could not' have been advised by any of his friends to take a'step so exceedingly foolish. All the probabilities were that in a few weeks he would be admit ted to bail until 'such time' as the crime of which he stantls charged could be' fairly and dispassionately censidered by a• jury of his countrymen.

It appears that some or. the New York sub 'scribers to the Avondale . Relief Fund refuse to pay their subsoriptions.. More despicable 'conduct than this , cannot be , imagined. The New York Star cries " Shaine!" antUsays : To "steal pennies from a dead Man's eyes;" proverbial meanness, but to take .mohey from the dead man's widow and- orphans -is far meaner and more contemptible:- The terrible Avondale disaster last year Was the occasion, of a 'large .Subscription in aid of the women and children left Oesolate by its ravages.: - But' it seems there are people' small enOughda sub scribe without paying their , money,-even to such 'a cause ; for last Monday the Beard of Managers of the Relief Association; having the Avondale subscription in band,' adopted a resolution instructing the , Stieretary to "com mence suits against alt delinquent subseribei , s," giving twenty days' notice before taking steps "to enfiree collection."

What GoMuria Smith playa. .Tho London Daily News pnblishes a letter from Professor Goldwin Smith, addressed to a friend in England, on the subject of emigra tion-to Virginia. Professor Smith says: Virginia is a magnificent State, in point of resources and ea abilities as well as in oint of extent aim situation. - Ine soil is nen, inctua ing excellent wheat land, particularly in the west ; in the east it has been somewhat ex hausted, though 1 presume not irreparably, by slave culture. On the Chesapeake Bay and along the James Inver there are some un healthy tracts, which of coarse should he avoided ; but the climate of the State generally is healthy as well as temperate. It is a great thing for the emigrant, in every respect, to es cape the long and severe winters in the North and West. The old planters, who at first clung to their . _ estates, though they had lost ,their slaves, seem now to have-made up their minds to sell; and land is offered cheap, in some cases with buildings, tbough, - I Suppose, dilapidated by the war:" Slavery is reallydead and buried ' and the anti-industrial sentiment which pre vailed under the old regime, and barred the Southern States against. industrial emigration, would no longer be found in the way. , The people, are the most English of all Americans; they, are very friendly to the mother country, and very anxious that the State•should be tilled up by English emigrants, not by the carpet-baggers and their train." 'THE ST. Da3lllllGO TREATY.- Sumper's 9pposittett to Ito)Ratitiention. It is probably not generalli' known 'tfiat Senator Sumner promised the President to faVor the St. Doming° treaty before it was con sidered by the Foreign Be,lations Committee. i Sine Then he has changed his mind, and it is 'aid that-he regr4s being compelled to break bid promise to the President. Sumner fears that in annexing. St. Dontilligo'the 'United States may assume a debt of some 69,000,000 or $10,000,000 over.what the treaty stipulates. It is a question with him whether the policy of annexing islands separated front us by sea is a Wise one. He doe§ not believe that Great Britain w a ttla take tlt. Domingo in case we refused to: annex it. The patty of that Goveniment,he contends, is to allow her colonies to choose their own destiny and alliances; in other words, instead of seeking new colonies, shoiwauxions to get rid of what she has. He thinks; before taking any steps to ratify the treaty, a commission of eminent men should he appointed to proceed to St. Domingo - and examine into the condition of the finances of that island, its debt, liabilities, &c. Another ground of Mr. Sumner's opposi tion is that the a.colsition of territory peopled by the Latin race is undeiiirable; that it is a civilization foreign to mirpovernment, and is likely to give us tread:ie.—Ma. coreesnontleuce X.

NalinviLea, March 9.—lt was the fashion of the rebels when the Republicans were in power in. Tennessee to charge upon them all the violat haus of law and order. They charged the Raditerle for being responsible for the ICu- Klux, and wi eh all acts murder and rapine and plunder which the bushwhackers ; and guerrillas were constantly perpetrating. But the Republicans are out of power now, and yet the En-Klux Klan murders and, assassinations are not abated.. Masked marau ders prowl about the State, and there being now no Republican papers to expose .their deeds of, blood, silence is maintained as to their doings. It has always been the practice when an unoffending Union man, white or colored, was shot down, to report that he had either been guilty of rape of some cold blooded murlier, and againstthe,e reports the sober judgment of the community was not proof. But I personally know f many men who met a horrible fate at the o hands of the Ku-Klux, whose lives were pure, and whose only crime was that they loved theiri country. The hanging of three negroes in an adjoining county on the charge of horse -stealing, of which offence they have since been proven entirely innocent, may be instanced as a case in point. At Hill Mound, three days ago, a man was arrested on the charge of stealing a hog. Ho gave bail, but the very next day was again ar-, rested, and confined in Jail at Jasper, on some trumped-up charge, which •he was given no time to refute. That night the Ku-Klux Klan came to the jail, took the prisoner out, carried him to the river, divested him of most of his clothing,and then, binding bun hand and foot, put him into a canoe, and turned him adrift, upon the Tennessee. The night was very stormy, and the next day the canoe was dis covered miles below the point where it was launched, but the poor matt was dead from exposure,. his body lying stark and,stiff in hie floating; tomb. Againt North ern people, as such, the ex-rebels of the more virulent type manifeettl e iitree.t hatrail Tr is to thiS class that the masked marauders con stantly turn their attention. .Mall clerks, ex press messengers, engineers and conductors of Northern birth, and of known Republican feeling or not, have been driven from most of the railroads of Tennessee. The Legislature has paid but little attention to this lamentable state of affairs. • When matters came to such a pees that it was difficult and, ex tremely'awkwarci to avoid noticing them, a sort of bill was passcd,framed ostensibly to stop the doings of the Ku-Klux. This law, it must be confessed, is stringent it provides heavy fines for people in mask who invade or at tempt to invade the premises of another, and makes assault by a person in mask or disguise, with a deadly weapon,, ,premeditated murder, and punishable by imprisonment 'for 20 years, or death by hanging. But the very stringency of, the lavv will cause it to over shoot the mark. The bill specially urged by Gov. Senter, and which would have put an end very shortly to organized mob violence in the ' state—a bill providing for special peace-officers, ' With sufficient force of men to preserve law and order in the worst counties 'of. the State—wag neglected till the close of the session by corn mon eonsent, of, members, I' believe, and then failed to pass for lack of , a quorum ono day just before adjournment. It was the failure of this. bill to go through which caused Gen. Butler to raise such a 'stir. on the -Tennessee question In Cengress._,A, great deal of excite ment bee been produced' here - owing to the turn affairs have - taken at Washington, and powerful influence is being exerted on the one hand to bring about the reduction of Ten nessee to the condition of a territory, and on the other hand to prevent-this consummation. At the head of the broken and disjointed Republican- party of -Tennessee is A. J. Fletcher, Secretary of State.' He is the pilot of a battered fragment of a once powerful po litical organization, the bit of is wreck that still Holds upon the waves of an angry and tempestuous sea. He ryas the brains of the party during' the Brownlow adniinistration. His counseLwas,always prompt and sagacious. He is a Man of great shrewdness, prolific iu eXpedients, and 'bold and daring as a party leader. • The spectacle of this man, surrounded by the ex-Rebels who persecuted him during the war, standing up boldly amid harrying foes, warned by the. Ku-Klux, and sought after by that murderous conclave, is something not seen every day. The Secretary lives in East Tennessee, and dares not return thither without an escort of troops. A body of masked, men boarded a train on the Nash ville and Chattanooga Railroad the other day searching for him, but fortunately' he had not left Nashville. He will proceed to liis.hoine in. East Tennessee in a few,days, escorted by a detaehment of - United States troops.—Tribune. 1101IDAUNT DIVORCE CASE. The Feeling in England. ' ' A London correspondent writes to the N Y.
