tion Bill had been finally settled. He will proceed
as far as the rails of boththe Pacific lines have been
laid, but it is not anticipated that he will be more
than a month ab3ent. Speaker Colfax also goes to
Colorado to spend a month among the Rocky
Mountains,.but be will not start till Congress ad-
journs. He has invited his old comrades—Richard-
son of the New York Tribune, Bowles of the Spring-
field Republican, and Bross of the Chicago Tribune,
to accompany him. Blaine, who will probably
succeed Colfax as Speaker, is an old journalist of
Portland, Maine.

A strong movement has taken place in the North
to organize measures by which the growing evil of
intemperance among the Freedmen may be checked.
An association has been formed for the purpose in
Boston, of which William Wells Brown is presi-
dent; John A. Smith, treasurer ; Rev. L. A. Grimes,
J. M. Langston, and other coloured men of repute,
an executive committee. It is proposed to raise
1110,000 to send lecturers and documents among
the Freedmen, and the measure is indorsed in gene-
ral terms by D:s. Kirk and Miner, Revs. J. M.
Manning and G. 11. Hepworth ; and with a more
special approbation by James Freeman Clarke,
Rev. J. I). Fulton and others. It is not surprising
that drunkenness should have increased among the
negroes during a period or such transition and ex-
citement. The SpringfielcZ Republican speaks of the
inerease of intemperance even in Massachusetts,
and highly approves of Cue energy displayed by
Major Jones, the State constable, in shutting up
all the places where liquor is sold without a licence,
the new law being violated even to a greater extent
than the old one.
The statement made in the Times that Sherman's
Bill for the Monetary Unification of France and
the United States had passed, is premature ; indeed
the reverse of this may have happened. At any
rate, if the measure be not killed by the report of
Senator Morgan's Committee, it must be delayed.
Senator Morgan thinks a change at the present
time unadvisable. He considers that a reduction
in the quantity of the gold would be to the disad-
vantage of the Unitel States as the greatest pro-
ducer of the precious metals, and that therefore the
proposed change of the half-eagle from 129 grabs
to 124 9-10, making it the exact equivalent of the
25 franc-piece, is objectionable. He also urges
that the effect would belto remove the United States
currency still further from that of England, and as
the trade with Great Britain is ten times as great
as that with France, America should act with
England. The force of this latter objection has been
considered conclusive. Doubtless the measure is but
delayed for the moment, and England will soon be
enabled to act in conjunction with the United
States, as the Commission now sitting must have
gone far towards maturing a plan.
Texts will not be divided into the three proposed
States, it is thought, during the present session of
Congress. Although the territory is so enormous,
the Governor shows it might be premature just
now to take this step. In his recent message to
the Texan Legislature, Governor Pease offered the
following objections :
"I do not think that the public interests would bo ad-
vanced by the adoption of such a measure at the present
time—our population does not probably exceed 800,000;
and to subject them to the expenses of two or three State
Governments, in their present impoverished condition,
would not only be a very great burden, but would greatly
diminish their ability to support a proper system of public
education and to give aid and encouragement to the mea-
sures that aro needed to develope the wealth and resources
of the State. If this measure is insisted on, it must evi-
dently delay our return to the Union, for the acts of Con-
gress under which the effort to reconstruct Texas is now'
being made provide for the establishment of only one
State of our whole territory. Should such a division here-
after be desired by our people, it can be more readily inau-
gurated and carried out after we shall have been restored
to the Union than it can be while we are without a repre-
sentative in congress."

John 11. Surratt pleaded not guilty when brought
into the court, June 22, to answer the indictment for COw'
spiracy. Bail was accepted in the sum of $20,000 for the
charge of murder, and he was discharged. The judge
thought of fixing the amount at $50,000, but changed hie
mind. He was to re-appear on the 29th, when the trial
was to commence for conspiracy. The trial has been
postponed to the 21st September, and the District At"

torney will not prosecute under the murder indictment.

Franklin, of Hartford, who will probably b 3 President of,
the Convention, Lieut.-Col. Lewis, Col. S. B. Sumner, 01
Bridport, and T. M. Waller, of Now London. The latter
declines ; having been only three months in the service,
he justly thinks he ought not to assume to represent the
soldiers of Connecticut.
