TUESDAY, DEcEMHER rs, ,sGa,
No Treaty with Rebels.

1t is Fernando Woods pet scheme to have |
commissioners sent to Richmond to arrange |
terms of peace with the rebel authorities He
correspuuded with some of their subordinates
more than Il year ago, and attempted subse
quently to interest the PRESIDENT in his plans
an attempt which was not crowned with flat
tering success. lie has now had his scheme
before the house of representatives, where
ftty.nine democratic members voted with him
against laying his resolution on the table
The whole subject was sent to the tomb
of the Cspulets, nevertheless, and will not
probably see the light again. This is the
copperhead plan of settling with the rebellion
10 enter into negotiations with the organized
rebel power, with the view of re-uniting it in
some manner to the old government-Mr.
DAVIS, Mason, Slidell, Beauregard, Wigfall,
Msgruder, and all. 1t puts out of sight alto
gether whatever loyal sentiment exists in the
territory covered by the rebellion, and recog-
nzes that satanic power as one to which this
great country ought to go on its knees begging
for grace and peace. Fortunately there is no
danger of that humiliation. The other plan
has been decided upon-to build up and
sustain loyal political communities at the
south, imbued from the start with the spirit
and genius of free institutions. 1t may
quire hard struggle, the burden of which
will fall upon the people of the offending
states, and as a penalty for their offence But
the issue Of that struggle will be free and
united country founded upon a rock. There
are the germs of two clearly, defined parties in
the pretended cabinet and congress of the reb-
els-split upon the question of reconstruction.
They are beginning to discuss it with not a
little bitterness al d acrimony. Both might
safely calm their angry passions, for the only
way by which either can possibly have any
practical interest in the question of reunion is
first to-take the oath. Till then WAR is the
only thing which concerns Them and Fer
nando Wood and his ffty-nine associates will
plead or conspire in vain to save them from
the fate they have wantonly challenged.
The CITY ELEcrIoN.-rhe present city
government was reelected, yesterday, by
small though nearly unanimous vote. The
only change IN the board OF aldermen is the
substitution Of Calvin Dyer for MIR. Sturte
want, who declined reelection. In the COM
mon council and school committee, the mem
bers whose terms expire at the close of the
year were, with two or three exceptions, re-
elected without opposition. There was lit
tie brush in ward five, as usual-Col. Barker
desiring the place now held by Vernon A.
Ladd, as overseer Of the poor, and
Mr.. Ladd claiming reelection. The colonel
supposed he had his wires properly laid but
he was not adrot, and was distanced by his
. ais one Courtroom Or fifteen vntas II
was purely quarrel of the 'FnntarriRa.I" =
which outsiders did not take very lively in
terest. In tnis ward, also, Mr.. Stones re-
election to the school board was contested by
Major McCafferty without success.

GIANT CORPORATION MAY BE A MI
sANCE.-The New York Central railroad is
five hundred and fifty-fve miles long, has a
capital of nearly forty millions, and an army
OF men in its employ; and that scheming and
INSCRIPTIONS politician, Erastus Corning, is
Its long headed president. At the recent
election of stockholders, not all the influence
of the best and most powerful daily papers of
New York city and state could prevent the
reelection Of the old bunker regency as man
ayers. 1t is fact to be deplored; for this
vast railroad power has almost always con-
trlVed to sway the cOunsels of the democratic
party, and secure control over the affairs of
the state. Get power like this firmly estab-
hshed, and no schism, no opposition, is strong
enough to break the hateful regency How
is it that strong republican districts have I'M
accountably elected INSCRIPTIONS hunkers.
or men minus backbone or honesty, to the
legislature or to congress? The president of
the great incubus knows how. These are
the men who turn the legislative halls into
great Jobblng house, and put principle into
the pocket where they keep their interest.
ms New York example, and the yet more
lgnommous one to be found in the state of
Camden and Amboy will cause Massachusetts
men to ponder before they will encourage into
life giant corporation in the old Bay State.

THAT SHOOTING CAsE.-As there is some interest
expressed to know the full particulars of the affair
at the provost marshal's office on Friday, we give
them as they ELECTED at the examination at the
police court We omitted the details yesterday from
want of ROOM
At the police court on Saturday, special justice
W W Rice presiding, Edward Halpin was arraisned
Tor disturbing the peace, and w Cook for assault
and battery On said ilalpim, with dangerous wea-
pom. Halpin plead guilty 10 the complaint against
him, and was fined So and costs
In the case Of Cook Halpn testified that he called
al Tie provost marsals office on Friday that
ms name should be stricken from the enrolment
list, he claiming to be an alien-that he had some
trouble there, and carried down stairs and for.
chilly elected upon the sdewak-that then Cook
struck him two or three times tho side of the
head, and when he asked him why lie did So fired
pistol at him, the ball passing through his left
body.
For the defence it appeared that from th. te.ti
m I1y OF Charles Goddard, David Brown,
watkins and DIR Martin. that Halpin used yery
violent language in the office and when told that
lie must procure certificate from the city clerk
swore he would do no such thing, but that he
would stop till his name removed from the roll
AS the otllcers were about leaving for dinner, he
was finally ordered to leave the office and upon re-
1uslng 10 do was carried out and rather violently
forced down stairs. Col Kimball, who was pass
ing at the time, testified that he Hapin in the
entry with his fist near Cooks face apparently try
ing to iercs an entrance, that the pistol was dis
throat, upon which he parted them. DR. Martin
who dressed the wound, testified that in his opinion
it was caused by fall oil the stairs, and not by q
pistol hall.
1t appeared from the testimony of the provost
marshal, that Cook was the guard OF the door that
he was placed there armed, under the general in
structons of the provost marshal general and that
his orders were to resist all persons attempting to
enter improperly at all hazards. The court held that
the case did not come under the ordinary rule gov
ernlng such cases; that Cook acting in the dis
charge of his duty and that he was justified in re-
Sstihg the violent attempt OF Halpin to force an
entrance into the marshals office. Cook was dis
| charged.

FooTE.-The rebel senator Foote-"hane-
man Foote," us he was sometimes called when
he belonged to the United States senate-is
trying his hand at his old tricks in Richmond.
When Tennessee was smuggled out of the
Union, Foote managed to get credentials to
the rebel congress, and is now ''senator"
without constituency. He has been a toler-
ably faithful rebel, though tho rebel authori-
ties have often found him thorn in their
sides. He always had pre- eminent merit as a
seold, never wanting subjects. The rebel
president is his last victim, and is now under
the WHIP the accumulated disasters in Ten
