The . relative rank Navy question has now been postponed by the committee till after the holidays. The President has again changed the reception hours of office-seekers; each week-day morning members, previous to the ass em bli ng of Congress, shall be admitted without cards; the public after 12 o'clock with cards. Mr. French, the Senate's Sergeant-at-Arms,hasappointed amulattoboyPage to the Senate. He is the son of Slade, the latecoloured steward, at the Executive Mansion, but as yet he only does duty in the corridors. Gen. Schoffer, who was appointed Governor of Utah, is said to be danger ously ill at his house in Illinois. He was General Butler's Chief of the Staff during the war. Great efforts are being made to bring Utah into the Union as a State, both Mormons and Gentiles, even Young, it is said, supporting the movement, and it is under the consideration of the Committee on Terri tories- General Potts, of Ohio, has been n nned Governor of Montana, in succession to Ashley of impeachment notoriety. This has taken 'Wash ington by surprise, but the nomination lies over until the Legislature of Ohio adjourns, as Potts is a State Senator, and the death of Russell makes the Democrats and Republicans even, there fore the resignation of Potts, which must follow the appointment, would give the Democrats a ma jority. The Senate Committee on Commerce asks for a full list of all Consular appointments before [ reporting on any, to sec if justice has been done the different States. Senator Ramsay, who is Chairman of the Post-office Committee, desires the Act of July, 1868, to be brought into operation for the establishment of American lines to Liver pool and Bremen to convey the mails. After much backing and filling, Associate Justice Grier signed his resignation on Tuesday, which was accepted on Wednesday by the President. Ex-Secretary Stanton is the favourite for the vacancy, the Republican Senators all favouring him. Judge Strong, of Pennsylvania, who had hopes, will, it is believed, succeed Attorney-General Hoar. The name of George 11. Yeaman, of Kentucky, after a struggle in Washington, has been withdrawn as one of the new U. S. Circuit Judges, and S. L. Whitby, of Michigan, has been substituted. K ll`.

The President of the Western Union Telegraph Company (Mr. William Orton) left this port in the Scotia with Cyrus W. Field. The rumour is that these influential gentlemen are about to negotiate a consolidation of the companies they represent with the French Cable. The temper of Congress is such as to leave no doubt that the existing arrangements regarding the French Cable will not be permitted to stand, and perhaps the best way out of the difficulty may be found in following such guides as Cyrus W. Field and William Orton, the latter of whom is soon expected back. M'Farland has been committed for trial by the Grand Jury, and a sub scription is being raised to provide funds for his defence. Several prominent names are on the list. The sum required is $5,000. The Herald gives point to a rumour which has for some time been circulating about the formation of a Vigilance Com mittee, organized to execute justice on judges and officials convicted of corruption, as well as to see that convicted murderers, robbers, and burglars receive their dues. The rooms arc in Bleaker-street. One of its members was interviewed, and stated that the men are good, being carefully selected, and, what is more, are well paid, and there is a flutter of excitement in the hope that the reign of the roughs and swindlers is drawing to a close. Nothing but strenuous action and, I fear, illegal action, can effectually stop their rule, and I respectfully urge on their attention the unjust Judges; let the Bench be purified, and the rest will follow. Real's sen tence of death has been reaffirmed in the Supreme Court, but although this man brutally and deli berately murdered a police-officer on duty in re venge for his having interfered with some former villainy, the case will probably be carried to another Court, and the end will be the liberation of the murderer. There is now some talk of the transfer of the Stock Exchange. Printing-house square is considered by some to be the best site for the new building ; others suggest Union-square, some propose A. T. Stewart's marble store. The old Post-office site is spoken of, as is the old Herald building, as well as a place opposite the new Post-office ; while there are rumours that the limes building had been offered. The enormous rents of Wall-street and neighbour hood, in these hard times, drive men from the locality and originated the movement, but the pro prietors are beginning to take fright, to whisper about an infamous land speculation, and otherwise to move against the depreciators of their property. But it must go down with the collapse of the infla tion. There has been a great change in the ".street," hundreds having abandoned the broker age business, as they called their gambling transac tions, and everything is demure there except on the first intelligence of such a swindle as the Gray- Pratt affair. Office rents must eventually experience a far more heavy fall in Wall-street than the store rents in Broadway, which have fallen 25 per cent. within the last two years. There is much distress here from the shrinkage in values, caused by the fall in gold ; on all sides houses are failing. Richard Patrick and Co., a hardware firm ; W. B. Wiltbank, broker ; L.

After a long debate in the Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, the majority report of the committee appointed to inquire into the causes of the decline in the American shipping was adopted seriatim. It urges the free importa tion of foreign built steamers, iron plates, and ma terial for building ; drawbacks on ships' stores pro curable in bond, and subsidies to steamers built in American yards. George F. Dunning, a receiving and disbursing officer of the Sub-Treasury has been arrested and bailed in the sum of $20,000, charged with embezzling $22,000 and upwards, moneys re ceived on receipts and vouchers for creditors of the United States. Assistant-Treasurer Folger disco vered that $16,000 bad been embezzled ; then the friends of Dunning proposed to reimburse the Go vernment, and thus compromise the matter, but the proposal was not entertained. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. The Representatives sat last Saturday, as they desire to complete the Census Bill, so as to get it through the Senate before adjourning for the holi days, for if it does not become law before New Year's-day the Act for the census of 1860 will be revived. There has been much discussion over the retirement of Associate Justice Grier, who, although urged on account of impaired mental and physical faculties to resign, acts so as to baffle his friends. When urged to go he asks to have his resignation prepared for his signature ; yet he draws back from signing, as the interest of his family is to keep him in the post. it is a question with them more of position than emolument, for ours is an official society, rank being taken from office, and our grades, .1 • notwithstanding our Republicanism, are pretty dis tinctly marked. The New York World's reporter has been interviewing Senator Sumner. He went to his house at the corner of Vermont-avenue last Friday, where he:met the Senator and his colleague, Wilson. A minute description is given of the bi jouterie, as the reporter's attention seems to have been diverted from the work in hand by the pic tures, bronzes, and numberless objects of taste. The Senator considered Beecher's declaration inex pressibly absurd regarding the future subdivision of the country. This was in the Thanksgiving Ser mon of the reverend gentleman, who, while express ing a preference for things as they are, said that if " four great Republics were proposed in place of the present Union, and the movement was one of the people, he should certainly feel not as he felt toward the late movement," meaning secession. Mr. Sumner warmly stated that Beecher ought to take better heed of the fitness of things and of the tenden cies of the age. Victor Hugo even employed our term, the United S r tates of Europe. Four Republics indeed! as well attempt to constitute four in this house, here is only one. Regarding our foreign relations he stood by the President, the Administration, whose attitude Grant has well expressed in his Message. All who look into Summer's speeches will find them grounded on international law, and none ought to have expected him to act otherwise than he has towards Cuba. " Now, Mr. Sumner, in regard to the Alabama question ? There, as 'I have told you. I stand by the Administra tion.' I presume so,' I said, inasmuch as the President rather seems to have stood by you." Well, as to that 1 say again, I stand by the President and by what I have hitherto said on the subject. One thing has come about, I think. That is, a better feeling on the part of states men in England. That we have gained by waiting.' `But may [ ask whether there is any likelihood of the Senate, or the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, taking any action, or recommending to the President any action on this subject during this session ?' Mr. Sumner's manner became more dignified and ri ticent, if pcssible, than before. ' 1 cannot say, sir. I cannot commit myself as to that. I can only say that, in my opinion, the Ad ministration is pursuing a wise course. When the John son-Stanley treaty was rejected, and the grounds on which its rejection was based were first advertised in England, there was great excitement in England. They,were angry with the Administration, with the Senate, with me, with everybody who had anything to do with it. It is with na tions as with individuals ; you know that a man may be very ill-natured about a certain point of difference one day, and after ho has thought it over may be more tolerant the next. So, it seems to me, it is with England. The time appears to be approaching when the British Government will be willing to consider the matter from a proper stand point.' When ? I asked. 'I think,' responded Mr. Sumner, 'that the ultimate decretur will bo arr i ve d at on this side of the Atlantic.' That is, in Washington?' I presume so; in Washington.'" There is to be a wedding here early in January at the Church of the Epiphany, when Mr. Moorfield Story, of Boston, lately Senator Sumner's private Secretary, is to be united to Miss Gertrude Cutts, and the bridesmaidslhave been selected from the best-known young ladies here. It is said that the Foreign Relations Committee will report unfavour ably on the appointment of Mr. J. Russell Jones of Illinois as Minister to Belgium, and it is thought that the Minister to China will receive $17,000 a year instead of $12,000 as heretofore, which means placing it on a par with England and France. Edgar Stanton of Illinois has been appointed Consul to Bristol. In the Supreme Court of the United States, on Monday, Chief Justice Chase delivered an opinion sustaining the constitutionality of the Act of Congress laying a tax of 10 per cent. upon the circulation of State banks. Justices Nel son and Davis dissented. The opinion of the latter has been published ; it seems to hinge mainly on State Rights, as this extract shows : " This taxation of the power and faculties of the State Governments which are essential to their sovereignties and to the efficient and independent management and administration of their internal affairs is for the first time advanced as an attribute of Federal authority. It finds no support or confidence in the early history of the Government, or in the opinions of the illustrious states uza who Loaded it.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 2M. 150. per .£1 sterling On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 Zia. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London. The letter from the Harvard crew met with a tart response from Mr. Blaikie, the author of the article alluded to in the December number of Harper's Monthly. Mr. Blaikie had but little spare time to prepare it, and only two of the seven members of the club were then on the American side, and two letters and three despatches failed to bring him the address even of one. Living con stantly and amicably with the party, he supposed himself acquainted with its views, but he used the word "hoped to express them" omitted in the quotation. As to the sec retaryship he had to reply in England to nearly 200 letters and many despatches. This he did to his own detriment ; for he had been offered remunerative employment by one Boston and three New York dailies. Nor was the title, even when appended to the foot of a letter in the London Times, objected to, and Mr. Blaikie asks whether it is fair now to do so, and whether the statement of the Harvard crew was called for. Our opinion is that it was called for, not as regards Mr. Blaikie, but decidedly so as regards others, for the writings of some wanting in the good taste and training of the Harvard lads had on this side injured the sense before entertained of American fair play, without doing any gaod even to the cause it was their object to serve. We once heard a man who had served in the Union Army, but deserted,to the Confederates, give it as a satisfactory reason that Butler was after him with a long polo. That General certainly has a vigorous way of drop ping down on people, and he has just bestowed a little of this peculiarity on "my dear Horace Greeley," who wrote to him the letter we summarized on the inipolicy of venge ance. In a two column reply, Butler contends that had half a dozen Rebel leaders been hanged there would have been less trouble in the South since the war. The last chance was lost when Horace Greeley went bail for the "arch traitor," as Butler calls Mr. Jefferson Davis. The newspaper editors are the worst men in the South, and often in the North also—another hit, we suppose, at "my dear Greeley." It is not ex-rebels, but present rebels to whom Butler is opposed, many being only re strained by the strong arm of the Government from show ing the intensity of their hate and the bitterness of their malignity towards the Union ; but Butler is careful to add that few of these were to be found among the Confederate soldiers, except in the safe and soft places. After giving a deplorable account of Georgia he attributes its condition to Mr. Greeley and those who acted with him. He quotes General Terry's Report, who alludes to the refusal of the Committee of Arrangements of the Agricultural State Fair to hoist the United States flag lent them, with the build- ing, by the Government, as they did not wish the Fair to have any political significance. Tennessee is another case —a calamity and a blunder, contrasting most unfavourably with Mississippi and Texas, where loyal Generals held bad traitorous men away from the polls, allowing true men to vote (!). "Universal suffrage and universal amnesty" have warped his dear friend Greeley's judgment. The mere adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment will not satisfy Butler, who looks more especially to motives. Then he contrasts his views with those of his dear Greeley, and points with triumph to the result at the polls, where his dear Greeley, backed by the mighty in fluence of the Tribune, was defeated, although coupled in the candidature with the most popular General, while he obtained the largest majority ever given in his district to a Republican. Of course, General Butler could not drop his antagonist without a still more personal thrust. Ile tells his dear Greeley how he is said to have sacrificed his friend and henchman, at the bidding of an editor his enemy, to gratify his revenge ; how this editor paid for advertise ments in Mr. Greeley's favour in the Tribune—then, with a pleasant sneer, he hints at the intense gratification Mr. Greeley must have derived from the fact of running lowest on the ticket, although the fac-simile of the bail bond of Jeff. Davis was widely published during the canvass, thus concluding—" It was not you, dear Sir, but your views, that ran in that contest. Let us have peace.' " A very damaging report on Georgia has been made by General Terry, and has excited much attention in the United States. In many counties he says there is no government at all, indeed in parts no security for life or property, magistrates dare not redress injuries, more especially of the blacks, and juries will not. Bu-Klux bands terrorise the State, punishing at their discretion, lynching, shooting, beating. Congress in great disgust has taken Georgia in hand, but it is easier to legislate than to alter the state of affairs. General Terry desires the exciting legislature to be converted into a provisional legislature ; the ineligible rigidly excluded, the eligible, whether white or black, admitted, so to clothe the execu tive with power that it may punish crime and protect life and property. By cable we learn that the President has issued an order for the re-establishment of military rule in Georgia under General Terry ; that is, he has turned Georgia back into an unreconstructed State. We believe military rule, under a really sound discreet General, to bo the beat government for a society going throng such a violent change as that of Georgia. But it ought to be a military rule, no mere name, as that only changes words, and what can be thoughtof a State as large as Eng land placed under military rule with a garrison of 300 men. A strong hand, with great forbearance and con ciliation, is the true rule during the transition period, leav ing the rest to time. MAILS FOR TIIE UNITED STATES. —To prevent misconception, it is considered desirable to give no tic that no alteration has taken place in the days for de e spatching mails from this country to the United State, or in the lines of steamers by which the mails will be con- veyed. At this time, when tho principles and practice of co operative societies engross so large a share of attention, it xnaY be well that Messrs. Parkins and Gotto should remind the no bility and gentry that they have for the last twenty years adopted the practice of buying the best goods in large quantities direct from the manufacturers, marking every article in plain figures, and retailing them at the smallest possible profit for remYY money; and where, from distance or other causes, Nob P B3- ments have been impossible, they have never increased the of the articles delivered.
