We print in another column as full ex tracts from Mr. Colfax's statpinent in regard to his connection with the qredit Mobiller 'es our spa& will perMit. While it must be admitted that the Vice President has been Indiscreet, we think it must be evident to any fair man that be- has been guiltless of any intentional wrong in the matter. His , own word is sufficient refutation of the tes-, `timony of Oakes' Ames—a man who has been ilaown to have sworn falsely in more than one case. But thislataternent does not 1 • rest on the simple word of Mr. Colfax. In most important particulars it is corroborated ,Dy.'two other witnesses. We trust every reader will peruse it carefully. . • . . ••:: The electoral vote for President, as t:ount •ed by Congress last-Wednesday, - stood, for drant, 288; foi the combirfeil opposition; 22; not counted, (Arkansas fnd Louisiana,) 14.. If anything was needed to show the Inconveniences and dangers of our present iiiander of electing the President, the pro • ceedings on the count 9f this,. tote would furnish ample proof of the necessity of a Prompt and radical change. We publish in Smother column a_ dispatch from Washing ton setting forth the questions 'raised and ti•eir decision. The fact that no possible settlement of those questions could affect the result prevented any undue excitement or exhibition of party prejudices on this occasion; but in the event of a close elec lion the danger of civil disturbance from this Cause would be great. We trust. thi present Congress will not adjourn without Initiating' an amendteetit of the Constitu "The Republic of Spain' is a newsheto which .Is surprising even ,itta these days 01 astonishing events. Early last week the young Ring Amadeus announced his abdi cation of the throne which he had found so uncomfortable, and on Tuesday the Corte• adopted a republican form, of government by a vote of 238 to 82. The next day it ected Figueras ?resident of the Council, with a full set bf pubinet Ministers, Caste lar, the eminett orator, being Minister of Foreign Affairs. The new President, site► his erection, made an address in which he promised that the Spanish people should hi the future have the utmost freedom in the choice of their rulers and representatives. • Be read telegrams from the provinces show . , ing that public peace had been everywhere preserved. He hoped ,the Republic would ' exist forever; .and believed that other Latin ` nations would not be slow to follow Spaint,e e ample. Every American must wish the new Republic well; but our fears exceed our hopes in this case. The Spanish nation seems even less fitted for self-government than the French. The President last :week vetoed&pother bill passed by Congress to reimbursa loyal citizens for property destroyed by military operations during the rebellion. .His rea' honing •in relation to this class of claims seems unanswetable. In ' the case under aonsideratiOn certain salt ' , Roth from svhicl Mit enemy were at the time pro curing sup piles were desttoyed, and. the Presiden 'maintains that if the destruction had taken place by shelling - 0 t the enemy, the case \. Would not-have bee different in principh • from the one prftent . What possible dif ; ference can it mak fti the rights of owners, or the obligations of the, GoVernment, whe ther the destruction was - in driving the, ene my out or keeping tom out of P6ssession• Owners of property destroyed to prevent .the spread of a conflagration, as a genera rule, are not entitled to compensation there ,for; nod for reasons equally strong the de etrucilon of property likely to aid the pub tic enemy does no\ entitle the owner to in demnity. This is the third bill of this hind 'high the President has vetoed, and -we hope he w ill continue to at and firmly between the treasury and this class of claims.' Last Friday the President sent a m• -sage to Congress relating to the administration of justice in Utah, and recommending that sane act be passed at the present session. enabling the district courts of that Territory to act with independence and efficiency— It seems that the Territorial Legislature has been allowed to regulate \ the selection of ju • tors for the courts established by Congress, 'and to confer criminal jurisdiction and the power to issue writs of habeas corpus on the local probtite courts. The result has been that the United States courtshave been :,greatly embarrassed and often thwarted in the administration of the law. Under the present jury system it has become impossi. • ble to enforce any law not acceptable to a majority of the peOple of the Territory, or which interferes with their local prejudices, or provides for the punishment of polygamy 'or tow of its affiliated vices or crimes. The President says it is feared that if Congress mourns without action on the subject, tur bulence and disorder will follow, rendering ,; military interference necessary. It is to be hoped that protoPt action will be taken on these recommendations, and' that before the expiration of , the present Congress the Uni .. tini States authorities will be clothed with - uttiple power to enforce thalami In the, u. * l O 14 01010 timag. mumi Several schen:tea for depleting the - al treasury have recently beart set on foot for the avowed or lniplied . purposeor 4 ,!ipia.' eating thiSollth."

Anoth efisi proposition that the General Go ment shall assume the debts of the Sc Wit ern States. It is , argued in favor of this stupendous job that the States named cannot pay their debts; that if they repudiate them the credit of the nation will stiffen' and that to avoid this calamity we . ltad better shoulder their'debts ourselves. Even if the .prqnises are correct, the conclusion is most lake and ;-impotent. The Southern States are undoubtedly able to pay all their just debts if their resources are properly has , banded. What is sorely needed at the South is an economical and htMest adMinistration of public affairs; and to relieve that section of its present financial burden by outside aid, is certainly just the way not to secure such an administration. Besides, the public credit of that section would be quite as ef• fectually impaired by the proposed ft.)sump tionnf its debts as it would by repudiation of its obligations, a large part of which has been fraudulently contracted. We don't suppose this preposterous tscheme will ever receive a moment's consideration in Can— gress; but the bare fact that it is broached is significant of the loose and crude notions held by many as, to the powers and duties of our Government, Geu. Butler's bill for an increase of sala ries was-set back very suddenly last week in the House. There seems 'to be , a general opinion that the salaries of the President, Justices of the Supreme Court, and Cabinet officers should be raised; but the propesi- Lion to put the pay of members of Congress up to 0,000, per. annum is what'n)l,7; be termed rather "cheeky.'

An.shington is about to be visited by Miss Emily Faithfull, an English lady of excel. lent character and very considerable fame is a thinker, a journalist, and a lecturer.— For a number of years past she has success fully devoted her time and talents to the opening of avenues of remunerative occu pation to women. She founded .a typogra phical establishment in'which women were employed with such success that Miss.Faith full, as its head, was made printe and Pub 7 lisher in ordinary to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, whose favor she early obtained in pursuit of her laudable efforts to elevate her own sex. A reception by the ladies of New York was recently given to • Miss Faithfull in Steinway Hall. She made a - -most elo• spent response, in which•she acknowledged ►he superiority of America in the elevation of woman and in the opening of suitable occupations to the entrance of female work ers. She referred .to the recognition of women in the appointment of government employees, and said that such progress in the face of old established customs has great significance. The managers of our " Star Course" have succeeded in engaging Miss Faithfull to lee. ture at Lincbln Hall on the 20th instant:— Having had the entree of the best society in England, she is well qualified to entertain her hearers upon the subject of her theme. "Glimpses of Good Men and Women I have Known,"- as well as to impress her great lesson of Woman's work. She has rich, mellifluous voice„and her powers of rhetoric and elocution are said to be of • the drat order.

The committee to whiel4t was referred tried to let it sleep the sleep of death, but nlarge vote in - favor of forcing a report from the committee caused them to try another ;maneuver; and they reported ad versely upon 'the bill. Last 'Monday, op a =don't() take it up and consider it forth with,llfere were lacking two votes of the regaidite two-thirds, and it is soon to be tried again, as several, friendi of the wens lire were absent. The opposition to the re funding of this tax, which is generally ad mitted to.have been wrongfully collected is confined to two points; first, a fear th‘t it 'king justice by paying buck so much on. ey will not he satisfactory to Norther con stituencies; and second, that in man cases the money will not reach the p kets of producers, but those of persons ho hate bought or otherwise obtained th control of the vouchers for the payment the tax: In answer to the first objection, an old adage says, "Let justice 11 done, though le leavens fall."
