There are admiralty and probate judges paid the same, and quite an army of stipeediary police magistrates and county court judges, each having from $O,OOO to $B,OOO each. A dozen blinkruptcy judges have $O,OOO. In Scotland, there are about - fifteen judges, Called Lords of Session, each receiving from .$15,000 to $24,000 a year. In ire hld, the judicial staff is somewhat more numerous, as well as more costly. On the whole, however, these salaries are corn. pensalive for work done, and generally well done. We come now to some cases where this cannot be alleged. The pension list of England is uncom monly heavy, and is swelled up with large grants to members of the aristocracy. Five ex-Chancellors receive $25,000 per annum each, as compensation for losing the salary of double that amount, which they respectively. xeceived in office. I'n o ' Irish ex-Chancellors have $18,400 each, and five Eng - lish judges also have retiring pensions of $25,000 per annum each. Viscount AvoNmonE, grandson of that BARRY YELVERTON, who was the bosom friend of CunnAN and Paton Of the bibacious and facetious Monks of the Screw, annually pockets $20,950, as compensation for an abolished and well-salaried legal sinecure in Ireland, which his father before him had held for twenty-five years. The Earl of Ellen.borough, who has been Viceroy of India, and is immensely' rich, receives $38,500 as chief clerk of the Court of Queen's Bench, of which his father Was Chief Justice. The office became vacant about sixty-two years ago, and the Judge instantly conferred it upon his son, the present holder, then a schoolboy, who has never yet discharged any of its duties. Then there is the Rev. MOWS TIIIIRLOW, nephew of the gruff old Chancellor, who receives $58,670 a year, viz: as Keeper and Clerk of the Hanaper, (whatever that may be,) as late Prothonotary of the Court of Police at Durham, a nice employment for a clergyman, and as pan tentee of bankruptcies—never doihg duty in any of these offices, The late Duke of WELLINGTON, besides a national gift of . $3,500,000 to buy au estate, had a pension of $20,000 a year, which is eolith - tried to his son, the present, and will be Pahl to the next Duke. Sir H. M. 11.4.vm.0cx and his mother have $5,000 each, to which no Englishman will be found objecting. Vis . - count ZYEISSLEY, who had $25,000 a year as Speaker of the House of Commons for twelve years, has a pension of $20,000 for life "to support the dignity of the peer :age." The eldest son of Lord —OLCIIESTED, an ex-Speaker, has $15,000 a year ; and the son of Lord RAGLAN, who died in com niand of the British army before Sebasto pol, has $lO,OOO a year during his own life, which will descend to his son, and his Mo ther has $5,000 while she lives. Some of the large English pensions are to endure as long as the British empire itself shall last ! The heirs of WinmeAr Pi cx are to receive $20,000 for ever. Whoever may be Lord RODNEY, to the end of time is to be paid $12,500 a year, and every fu ture Lord NELSON is to have double that amount. The heir of the great Jotrx Cutincumn, Duke of Marlborough, such a famous commander in the reign of Queen ANNE, is to be paid $20,000 a year through the seeing seculorum, of :ths British monarchy. As the grant was made in the year 1702, the house of Marlborough has already received $3,220,000 on this account, which is a heavy payment for glory—con sidering also that the Blenheim estate was a present to the first Duke, the nation also erecting Blenheim Palace for his Grace's accommodation. Most curious of all, how ever, is the perpetual payment of $12,800 a year to the heirs of the Dutch Duke of Schomberg, who assisted WILLIAM of Orange to fight the Battle of the Boyne. It will be seen from, these items, selected out of scores of instances, that monar chial gratitude is a very costly thing. Fr WAS a pleasant thing to learn from the proceedings of the recent convention of " Wool Manufacturers" that Pennsylvania is rapidly gaining upon the competitive manufacturing States in • this branch of in dustry. The report records that during 'the last five years Massachusetts has in creased leer woollen manufactures from 26,271,200 pounds to 43,022,000 pounds, and during the same time New York has risen from 11,708,850 pounds to 17,936,000 pounds ; while in the same period Penn sylvania lias increased, hers from 6,223,850 pounds to 12,557 , 500 pounds. This result places our State completely in the line of this interest, and, although far from pre eminent in it, we were gratified to find that We stood so well in a branch to which public attention has not been especially attracted. Pennsylvania's oil wells and mines of coal and iron, with all their con sequent and attendant manufactures, have been a subject of self-congratulation, and we gladly add another to the list of her nu merous minor interests. LETTER FROM" OCCASIONAL. 9 WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 1865 While we are speculating upon contin gent cotton, problematical tobacco, and possible rice crops, we must restrain our impatient desires for exemplary obedience and model governments in the Southern country. When a whole people madly (I had almost said deliberately) set to work to destroy the sources of their subsistence, and when they too sadly accomplish the work of suicide, the relief and the cure are not sudden and complete because the re pentance is quick and sincere. Nor can we look for the sweetest temper and the readiest submission to events from a people so long familiar to a life of ease and so rudely taught the keenest of sufferings. It does not make facts more stern to say that these sufferings were self-inflieted. That is a consideration .for the histmian when he comes to distribute censure and praise, and to prepare his de cree for the judgment of posterity. The immediate matter is not how to govern, but how to feed the Southern people; not whether they are patient under their - burdens, nor whether they will make good citizens, nor how they intend to treat the freedmen ; but how they are (whites and blacks) to get through the winter, As I look upon the case in this light I am sometimes tempted to smile at the ridicu lous indignation of a few of the Southern editors at the Northern " radicals," and the no less " ridieulons" recrimination of some Northern editors over these harm less explosions. The power to strike the hand that is stretched out to help, is in such dismal disproportion to the necessity for help, that one is half-inclined to call that insanity which at other times would be ingratitude. How long it will be till such a people can again take the Govern ment by the throat is not now the question. It will not certainly be before they are lifted out of their present sorrows and de privations. Nor need it be a matter for crave; apprehenSion that they will too soon appear in congress to push us from our stools. Tbere are in fact so many matters of immediate necessity to adjust, that po litical dissertations sound like idle mock eries. It would seem, however, to be within the realms of reason that when the sharp pangs of hunger are satisfied, and the deep wounds of voluntary insurrection are soothed and healed, the generous almoner and the good physician will not be incon tinently kicked from the door. And we cannot do otherwise than wait to see the result of "the experiment." ABANDONED LANDS—ORDER OF GEN - . CANBY.— Cien. Canby, commanding the Department of Loul,lana, ender date of the , 6tli inst., iesues thVollowing general order relative to C0D11,3- cated and abandoned lands: "The commanding general understands that persons whose property has been seized as confiscated or abandoned, and who have had it restored through the clemency of the Go vernment, have threatened the tenants or les sees of the Treasury Department with vexa tious suits to recover rent for the terms for which it has been held by such tenants or les sees, and have endeavored to harass or coerce them into compromising these unlawful and unfounded demands, the tenants of the Go vernment are warned that the rents for the terms during which they are held under lease or demise from the Treasury or other Depart ments are due to the Government alone, and up plea,or excuse of a payment to a third party will be accepted or entertained, but the iawful rights of the General Government win be rigidly enforced and its tenants protected."

INTERVIEW BETWEEN TIIE PRESIDENT MD A COMMITTEE OF ODD FELLOWS. Joint MINOR BoTTS , OPINION OF THE 't" CONGRESSIONAL TEST OATH. HE RECOMMENDS ALL VIMIHNLANS TO ONLY VOTE FOR THOSE WHO CAN TAKE IT. [Special Despatch to The Press.] JOHN Ninon BOTTS has written S. letter to a committee of citizens of Albemarle county, Virginia, on the approaching Congressional election in that State. It is dated Auburn, near Brandy Station, September 12, and like all the effusions of that gentleman, is very long. In regard to the oath which must be taken by all elected members of Con gress before they can take their seats in that body, he says that there is no constitu_ tional provision prohibiting Congress from impoSing ally oath they may see proper, ex cept it be one of a religious character. If any elected members of Congress are tainted with former treason, there is no surety that they can get their seats. lie therefore thinks it advisable for all voters to east their ballots for those who can take the congressional oath, and for them only, as there is not theslightest chalice for the repeal, or even modifica tion of this oath, at the coming session Of Congress. There is, however, a probe hility that it will be made more stringent, for this Congress will be more radical than the last. There is a suspicion now and there will be then that the South is only physi, tally crushed—the spirit of rebellion still living. This suspicion will be increased by disqualified parties presenting themselves for admission. It will create the impression that there is Some plot in conception to give the control of the Government into Southern hands, and, by that means, undo all the work of the loyal North. accomplished during the rebellion. Mr. Berms therefore thinks that the people of the South should not votefor any one who hesitates to take the oath in good faith.. lie denounces all those who are endeavoring to create disaffection by saying that the can didates should not take the oath. Their fool isbnesS is only exceeded by their• spirit for doing mischief. Mr. BOTTS concludes with a stirring appeal to the people to abide by the law, and all will be well. It is the easiest and best way to accomplish their ends, and will, of course, ultimately accrue to their benefit. Major General HOWARD, commissioner of this bureau, has received a communication from Major W. I). SA ntrawr, assistant cornrais sioner of freedmen's affairs in Arkansas, in reference to a former slaveholder, by the name of Brno, refusing to recognize the emancipa tion act. The communication represents that a freedman had made an effort' to get posses sion of some property belonging to him from the premises of his former master; and not being successful, applied to the bureau of freedmen in that vicinity for assistance, when he was furnished with a circular bearing the following endorsement from the provost Mar shal : "The bearer of this circular will be allowed to take from the premises where his family re sided everything that belongs to him. Any person interfering with him will be held ac countable for the same." The colored man repaired again to the resi dence of his former master, who read the circular, and gave it the following endorse ment "The bearer of this circular 1 consider my property still, having seen no enactment of the Federal Congress 'nor our State Govern ment authorizing any one to demand him of me, nor anything furnished him while with me. When I ant perfectly satisfied that the slaves have been emancipated by such au thority as is regarded as constitutional by our higher courts of law and equity, then, and not till then, will I willingly, by word or deed, make any contract with a slave, nor regard them in any other light than as property of those who have either purchased or raised them, Of course, I do not propose to interpose any force or impede in any way the constitutional au thorities of the United States. I am, captain, the owner of the boy who hears this note." The assistant commissioner, upon the re ceipt of the endorsement, had :Man arrested, restored to the colored man his property, and lined the belligerent former slaveholder $5O. This prompt vindication of a freedman's rights has had a beneficial effect upon other refrac tory spirits. The Wood Torpedo.

The following is a synopsis of the decisiOna rendered by the Acting Second Comptroller A soldier receiving advance bounty on en. tering the service, afterwards deserted, was arrested, returned to his regiment, and served out his time. On settlement of his claim, ad vanced bounty was deducted from his pay. lie claimed said deduction to be improper ; held that an honorable discharge is essential to payment of bounty, and having ; by deser tion, forfeited the right to such discharge,the deduction was properly and legally made. All soldiers violating their contracts with the Government by the crime of desertion, during the time for which they were enlisted, or drafted, have no claim to the pay which had accrued at the time of desertion, or to any pay ment of bounty provided by act of July 22, iSse ; and any payments made in conflict with this decision will be disallowed at the Treasu ry. An officer commissioned by a Governor, and doing duty prior to the 3d day of March, 180, but not mustered until after that date, is not entitled to three month's extra pay. A soldier in possession of Government pro perty, and losing the same by ' , neglect of duty," is responsible for its loss, and subject to deduction of the amount of its value, from any unpaid pay or bounty due him, unleee the Government shall be otherwise indemnified for the loss of the same. The accrued unpaid pension Of a pensioner deceased, without liars, reverts to the United States. The Odd Fellows' Interview with the President—lnvitation to Baltimore Accepted. Josern B. :Mono',sox, of Pennsylvania, Past Urand Sire of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows ; IL L. PAGE, of Wisconsin ; L. !M. CAMPBELL, of Indiana_; E. D. EARNSWORTH, of Tennessee ; F. A. Ellis, of Maryland; and Ws. R. MCLEAN, of the District of Columbia, con stituting a committee from the Grand Lodge DOW in session at Baltimore, this afternoon waited upon the President to invite him to be present in that city to-morrow at the unveil ing of the statue of Charity in commemora tion of the introduction of Odd fellowship iii the United States. Past Grand Sire NICHOLSON, in his address to the President, said that knowing the great interest be took in everything calculated to restore good feeling, and believing that the convocation in Baltimore would go far toward uniting the people, they had come to ask his approbation and his presence, which would do lunch to bind the people of the North and the South more firmly together. The Southern brethren had today expressed in the warmest toms their love for their Northern brethren, and he believed the unity between the mem bers was more complete than ever. OCCASIONAL The President thanked the delegation for their visit and the invitation, expressing his gratification that they had delegates from all parts of the country. The order by this con vocation showed a good example—one worthy everywhere of imitation. If he could possibly accept the invitation he would, but if absent lie would be present in spirit. The convoca tion was at the proper geographical point, and could not fail to exert a powerful influ ence upon the people of the country in the re establishment of good will and harmony. In the course of the general conversation which ensued, the committee understood that the President accepted the invitation. In view of this, the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has ordered a special unlit for tomorrow morning at half past 10 o'clock. President JOIINBON will probably , be accom panied to Baltimore by several members of the Cabinet, and by the Mayor of Washington. Judge Advocate Carew stated this morn ing, that he bad subponmed ninety witnesses ter the defence of Captain Wiaz, and Mr. BAKER said he had twenty-two more. lAA that they would not be all wanted. The prisoner to-day appeared to be somewhat improved in health, though lie was compelled by weak ness to lie on the sofa during the progress of the trial. The St. Albans Raid.

SOUTH CAROLINA. Governor Perry's Message to the State Convention. The President's Policy of Restoration- Recom mended by Him, NKR' Yourc,.Sept. I.9.—The steamer Quaker City has arrived with Charleston papers of the lint instant. The Courier Contains Governor Perry's mes sage to the State convention. lie acknow ledges the death of slavery, and counsels the wise, just, and humane treatment of the freed- Men, by which they may become as strongly tattached to the whites as whilst they were slaves. Legislation will be required to regu late the relative duties of employer and em ploye. The Governor suggests changes in the State constitution, making it more popular and republican in form. It is the reproach of South Carolina that it is less so than any other State in the Union. Ile is against ex tending suffrage to the freedmen in their present ignorant and degraded condition, con sidering it as little less than folly and mad ness. He contends that this is a white mans Government, and the white man's only; that the Supreme Court has decided that negroes arc not citizens, and that each State has the unquestioned right to decide for herself who shall vote. Re suggests the election of Governors, members of Congress and Le gislatures, and presidential electors, directly by the people, and that the Legislature should befeleeted and convened in season to order an election for Congressmen before the first Monday of December. The future, he says, will be bright and glorious. As long as civili zation continues this great republic will 'flourish and increase in numbers, wealth and grandeur, and in less than ten years we shall realize in the loss of slavery a blessing in disguise to ourselves and OW ehildren , He notifies the convention of the re-establish ment of the civil law and courts, and the withdrawal of the negro troops from the inte rior to the garrisons on the coast. The pre sence of white trooPs will be necessary for some time, to enforce the relative duties of freedmen and employers. THE INDIAN COUNCIL. THE REBEL TRIBES RCN TILE TREATY WITH A RESERVATION. They are Opposed to a Confiscation of their Lends, etc. THE INDIANS ON THE RED RIVER IN A DESTITUTE CONDITION, Foam SMITH, Sept. 19.—The difference be tween the loyal and disloyal Creeks has been amicably adjusted. The rebel delegates of the. various tribes are represented to haire signed the treaty with the Government with a note appended claiming non-forfeiture of lands, annuities, &e. A committee was appointed to confer with the Choctaws and Chickasaws re lative to the treaty for a recognition of the policy of the Government. The Southern Cherokees submitted a report stating that a committee had waited npon the Northern Cherokees to arrange their differ. ences, and ask them to recommend the Chero kee council to repeal their confiscation laws, who agreed to lay the matter before the coun cil. The same delegation reported that about 0,000 Cherokees are in the Choctaw and Chicka saw nation, on Red River, in destitut
