New YORK, Dec. l.-Rio Janeiro advices
state that Col. Wood and party who went to Bra
zil % negotiate for lands for some six hundred
Southern planters, had met with enthusiastic re-.
cepton, the Emperor promising all aid in further
ance of the project
Mr.. Mcpherson, the clerk of the late House,
has had his roll of members elect printed, with
cut waiting for any certificates of election. This
roll excludes the members who have been elect
ed from States not represented in the late Con-
gress 1t is presumed that the Republican eau
GUS to be held Saturday night, will sustain the
clerk in his course. A number of Southern
members elect will be here and will present their
certificates of election. These certificates will be
referred, and, meanwhile, protracted and spirit
ed discussion will spring up in regard to the
whole subject of Southern restoration. By cour-
tesy and by usage the members elect, th ough
not admitted, till their cases be decided upon by
the House. will occupy seats and desks in the Hall,
and will be furnished with the usual facilities OF
newspapers, stationary and public documents.
The idea that they will stand alooffrom Congress.
or leave the city in pet, because of the delay of
their recognition, is now generally secuted, even
if it was ever seriously entertained. They can
render much aid by their counsel and informa-
ton to those members who, from the first, will
sustain the Presidents plan.

THE CASE WELL SrATED.-Speaking of the
question Of the admission of Southern members
in the Congress, the Cincinnati Commercial (Re-
publican) remarks:
''The House, to be sure decides upon the
qualifications of its MEMBERS but what is the
House, Who compose it? Is the broad seal Of
the Governor of Tennessee, on G paper, as good
az that of the State of Ohio? Is William G..
Brownlow the Governor Of Tennessee? Is Ed
ward Mcpherson to decide that question? Has,
OF has not, Horace Maynard, OF Tennessee. as
near right to make motion on the first Mon
dav of December next in the Hall Of RePresen-
tativcs, at Washington, as Thaddcus Stevens, OF
PENNSYLVANIA.

Christmas is Coming,

And our merchant friends are no doubt laying

them therefore, that we publish but one more
paper before Christmas, and they must be in time
with their advertising fayors or lose the chance
offered.

Murder and Sudden Retribution,

4 cold booded and diaboical murder was
perpetrated on Thursday night last, we learn,
near stoney Battery in this District, the victim
an old lady by name of Mrs. White, harmless
and inoFensive in disposition. Mrs. White lived
entirely alone in cabin in the woods. She was
found the next morning with her head broken in
two or three places. The deed was supposed to
have been done by notorious renegade freed
man, formerly the slave of Mr.. H. stuckman, and
who had just previously broken in to her cabin
and stolen some articles. On Sunday morning
the body of the murderer and thief was found
dead, somewhere in the neighborhood, his head
perforated by pistol ball. A just retribution.

La France contains an article directed
against the rumors of intended territorial mod
ifcations attributed to the Emperor. The
writer says France does not seek any terrific
rial aggrandizement; she has no desire what
ever to reconstruct the map of Europe but if
other great powers wish to overthrow tor their
own profit the map of Europe, France would
be compelled to fortify her defensive positions,
to take precautions, and secure her own safety,
while re-establishing an equilibrium which
would restore to her those guarantees the
changes elsewhere might have destroyed.

arc but few duties so irksome and responsible as
those of a postmaster and by the way fewer pub

they are perfect pack horses! There are those

Very disgraceful scenes took place among

Government to the consideration of legal prin-
