Meeting of the Friends Of jeff Davis in
New York,

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Post con.
taius a report of the proceedings of pri-
vate meeting Of the friends of jeff Davis,
held in this city yesterday, to devise
means for the fair and full defense of jeff.
Dayis and his associates, so that whatever
happens justice may be done. The meet
ing was held at the rooms of Carlos Butter
field, who was present. At the sugges-
ton of Peter Y. Cutter, committee was
appointed to raise funds for the object
stated, and to consult with Charles
OConner, Esq, of Mr.. Davis counsel,
and adopt other necessary measures.
The following persons were named as
the committee 4: Mayor Gunther, Carlos
Butterfeld, Theodore MARITIME and Mcssrs.
Douglas aud Clancy. The Mayor was
absent, but he sent his regrets aud assn
rance of his hearty cooperation.
Messrs. Surrogate Tucker, Brown and
Livingston, of Mobile, were among those
present, and Messrs. Cutter, Tucker and
Livingston were the principal speakers.
They regarded the failure of the rebellion
as but temporary. The spirit that organ
lied it still lives, and by the assistance of
their friends at the North, it can be sue
cesSful in another way. Livingston said
that Alabama would be represented
Congress by none who were not soul and
body in favor of Southern independence.
Mrs. Surratts execution had excited the
indignation of the world, and he said that
the Government dare not trust Mr.. Davis
to trial. Mr.. Livingston said that any
person who would regard the course of
the South as reasonable, would be looked
upon as mailman or a fool.

Counterfeit Notes and How They May be
Detected.

Never at any previous time was the
market flooded with SO much bogus
paper money. This is of course owing to
the immense number of notes in circula.
ton, and storekeepers and others should
be careful, and examine we'll all suspicious
paper. The counterfeit greenbacks in cir
culation, although some are excellenty
executed, can all be detected if properly
inspected. Those who observe the follow
ing rules will seldom be imposed upon by
the acceptance of bogus note:
l. Examine the appearance of bill
the genuine have general dark and neat
appearance.
2. Examine the vignette or picture in
the middle of the top; see if the sky or
background looks clear and transparent, or
soft and even, and not scratchy.
3 Examine we'll the face, see if the
expressions are distant and easy, natural
and lifelike, particularly the eyes.
4. See if the drapery or dress fits well,
looks natural and shows the folds distinct
ly.
s. Examine the medallion ruling and
heads, and circular ornaments around the
figure. etc. See if they are regular,
smooth and uniform, not scratchy. This
work, in the genuine, looks as if raised on
the paper and cannot be perfectly imi-
tated
6. Examine the principal line of letters
of name of the bank. See if they are all
upright, perfectly true ard even, or, if
sloping, of uniform slope.
Z. Carefully examine the shade or paral-
lei ruling on tho face or outside of the
letters, etc; see if it is clear, and looks as
if colored with brush. The fine paral-
lei lines in the genuine are of equal size,
and smooth and even oounterfeits look
as if done with file.
8. Observe the round handwriting en-
graved on the bill, which should be black
equal in size and distance, uniform slope
and smooth. This is, in genuine notes, in
variably well done, and looks very perfect.
In counterfeits it is seldom SO, but often
looks stiff, as if done with pen:

GENERAL NEWS.

The election for municipal officers, which was
held at Richmond on Tuesday last, has been
annulled by the military authorities on the
ground that voters were excluded who were
charged with having lost their residence by abb
sence as soldiers in the Federal army, whilst no
discrimination was exercised against soldiers in
the Confederate army. The other objections to
the validity of the election were that all the Off
cials elected had participated in the Rebellion,
and also that the issue upon which the election
turned was between choosing men who had
fought for or against tho Federal Government.
The Clerk of the Hustings Court is the only per-
son declared to be duly elected to Office. A meet
ing of the newly elected members of the Coun-
Gil and Aldermen of the city was held pursuant
to notice to that effect, at the City Hall, on
Friday last, when the military order prohibiting
their organization was read bp Captain Hager.
The Council resolved to report to the Governor
what had transpired, and after appointing a
committee to discharge this duty adjourned TO
meet again on Saturday afternoon.
Mayor Collins, of Portsmouth, Virginia, was
arrested under military order on Thursday
afternoon. The cause of his arrest was not
known, but it was thought to be something in
regard to the trial of negroes.
Major General Thomas, in letter to Governor
Brownlow, of Tennessee, states, in regard to the
case of Emmerson Etheridge, that if the latter
has been guilty of the language imputed to him,
he is clearly amenable to the military authori-
ties, and is liable to be tried before a Military
Commission. General Thomas also assures the
Governor that the policy of the State and Gen.
eral Government will be fully sustained by the
military arm. Governor Brownlow has accord.
ingly called upon General Thomas to send troops
into various counties of Tennessee-'lo preserve
order and the purity Of the ballot-box.' Five
thousand troops, now at Memphis, are to be di.
vided into squads and posted in various parts O.
the State to maintain law and order.
All persons visiting Washington, who have
heretofore been. in the Confederate service, are
ordered by Gen. Augur to Immediately repor
themselves at his headquarters. They are also
expected to furnish copy of their authority fol
being at the capital.
The Federal soldiers stationed on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia are TO be withdrawn, and the
military post established there is to be discon
tinued.
