The Times special says all the reports about
Cabinet discussions over the correspondence
between Lord Russell and Mr.. Adams. are
absurd. That the correspondence was in the
hands Of the Government for several weeks
before it was published. and that Mr.. Seward
had written reply to Earl Russels lAss dis
patch more than six weeks ago, Il is gene
rally understood that he had informed the
English government that We shall not press
suggestions or arbitration, nor will we consent
10 submit any question to the decision Of q
commission, unless all claims atissue between
the two governments be submitted i; also. ii

The following is the sentence of Gen. Bris
coe "And the Court does therefore sentence
him, Brevet Brigadier General Briseoe, Col.
199th Pennsylvania Volunteers, to be cashier
ed and dishonorably dismissed the United
States service, and be forever disqualified
from holding any office of honor or trust or
profit under the United States Government;
that he forfeit all pay and allowances now due
or which may become due to him, and be con-
fined ut hard labor, at such place of con6ne-
ment as the Secretary of War may direct, for
and during the term of FIVE l5) years" The
findings and sentence are approved and con-
6rmed; but in view OF the high testimonials to
the former good character and gallantry OF
Gen. Brscoe, BY Generals Meade, Hancock,
Stoneman, Gibbon, Terry and Sickles. so
much of sentence as imposes confinement is
RENTED. By order of the President of the
United States.
Z. ID. TOWNSEND, A. A. q.
About noon his counsel proceeded to the
Old Capitol, and presented the order. Bris-
coe was released. He was highly elased at
his escape from imprisonment, as he had fully
expected to go to the penitentiary. An hour
after, he was playing joyial game Of billiards.
The WorlTs special says there were large
number of pardon seekers at the White House
to day. Among thg number was Get. Long
street, Albert Pike and Extra Billy Smith.
The former had private interview with the
President after the crowd had disappeared.
The latter. whose parole had expired, asked
to have it extended, so he could visit New
York and other States. The Presidentgrant-
ed his request.
The order for the mastering out of General
officers, which has been in the hands Of the
Secretary for nearly a week. has been sus-
pended for few days. Its PRONUNCIATION will
produce CONSERVATION among the general
officers, as it makes general clearance Of all
officers whose services are not actually re-
quired, excepting those who were wounded in
the service or otherwise disabled.
The estimates of the War Department for
the next fiscal year have not yet been trans
mitted to the Secretary ofthe Treasury. IT'hey
will not be ready for several days.
The Navy estimates are ready and have
been LAID on the Secretary's table.
The estimate for actual expenses of the
Government will be considerably over one
hundred millions.

The looked for execution OF Wirz was ex-
citing more remark, and occupying the public
mind to mnch greater degree than did the
hanging of the conspirators. This is pfoba-
bly, due to the fact of the extended notice
given in this instance, while in the case ofthe
former execution, scarcely more than ten
hours of daylight iutervened between thepub-
lie announcement and the appearance of the
condemned upon the scatfold. Wirz is said
to be in better condition TO day than any time
during his confinement. He has had consid-
erable sleep and a moderate appetite, and
appears to gain more stolidity as his hours
of lifetime approach their last.
His spiritual adviser. Father Boyle. was

stated that the receipts for customs during the
previous month, amounted to over eleven
millions of dollars, and that the monthly in
come thus chronicled was unprecedented in
amount.
The Tribune ought to be careful to be accu-

over fourteen millions of dollars.

Who are Oh the Roll.

Mr.. Mcpherson, the clerk of the House of
Representatives in whose hands is lodged a
very important initiatory power in the organi-
zation ofthe next Congress, has made known,
in a recent letter to friend. his line of poll
cy. He viii act in strict compliance with
the law as a Ministerial officer of the House.
and not assume to himself the functions
which the Constitution of the United States,
delegate to the House ITSELF Of deciding upon
the qualification of its own members. Mr..
McPHERsoN's position, which we look upon as
entirely correct and impregnable TO any as
sault in the view of law, justice and reason. is
his simple and only duty. is to place on the
Roll of the House, such names as have been
duly certified and elected in accordance with
the laws of their respective States and of the
United States.
He adds:
"ln the several theories of reorganization,
the controlling power in the premises is va
riously supposed to be lodged sometimes in
the President. sometimes IN Congress. The
latter is likely to incline to the latter view
and in any eUent is not likely to permit mem
bers to be forced into the House and Senate
until, an accordance trifh the Constitutional
guaranty, those bodies themselves hare passed
upon the claims Of the applicants

''0n this it is clear:
First That no law of the United States

i'Second That no law of the States au-

WOULDN'T TAKE THE OATH.-Gen. FRANK
P. BLAIR refused to take the new constitution
oath at the election at st. Louis on Tuesday.
The Republican thus describes the scene:
Gen. Blair, after waiting for several to cast
their votes, said: "Gentlemen, offer to cast
my vote, and am ready to prove to you l am
twenty-one years of age, and have been res
ident Of the State of Missouri for over twenty
years, and that | am otherwise qualified to
vote at the present election. Here is my bal.
lot (the General here presented to Judge
Ridgely his ballot). | have prepared, and
now offer you an oath of allegiance, which |
have subscribed and sworn to. / decline to
tuition of Missouri, and desire you to decide
that am entitled to cast my ballot without
taking said New Constitution oath.
Mr.. Ridgely replied-''We can't decide so,
General, but must decide exactly the reverse, y
to which Mr.. Thompson assented.
General Blair then said-"Gentlemen,
require you to say, whether my ballot is re-
jected, only because | have refused to take
the New Constitution oath ?'
The Judges answered. Entirely so. for 40
other reason, because you refuse to take the
Constitution OATH
General Blair inquired-s'Do you regard
me in all other respects as a qualified voter p
Certainly, your vote is rejected upon that
ground, and that ground only"
The ballots for Messrs Peckham and Daily
were then folded by Mr.. Ridgely and marked
by him rejected, and General Blair quietly
left the poll.
Gen. BLAIR has instructed suit to be brought
against RrDGELY and THOMPSON, Judges q

CHAs. DGRR, Eso.-.Ssr have noticed
your article in Monday GArg CRY, and mus,
say that you evinee good deal Of sicheek'
when you say am trying to evade the point
at issue, when you in the same article atempl
to evade it yet, with apparent innocence on
your part, acknowledge great part of wha,
! set about to prove. You assert that you
treated your friends, both Democratic and
Republican, on election day. and deny that
you made the evilcreekers drunk. Please
answer me candidly. Did you not on election
day, at the court house, go through the crowd
aud single out the devil -creekers and ask them
to go and drink, when they were talking to
Republican friends of yours. and not invite
the Republicans =? Did you not take the
devil-creekers to the saloon of the Metropoli-
tan hotel and there treat them to the amount OF
near $40? Did you not take the devil cree kers
to the saloon of Peters l. Bernhard, on Pine
street. and there again treat them? Did you
not take the devil-creekers to the saloon OF
Charley Hasten, on I'd street, and there again
treat them?
You say again, that you did not treat them
Immediately prior to the ..disgraceful row. -
Oh no, Charley, for prudential reasons you
did not. You did leave orders with the clerk
of the saloon, though, for the devil-creekers
to have what they called for at your expense,
and then s'lit OUT for some other part of
town, evidently impressed with the wisdom Of
that old song of the warrior of doubtful
courage,
"He that fights and runs away,
Will lire to fight another day"
What must have been your reflections.
Charley, when with vigorous strides you was
pushing up town, leaving behind you,
drinking at your expense) lot of rowdies,
who, you well knew, would soon make an
attack on the peaceable citizens Of our town.
Did you not stop to think how many lives
would be lost? or how many families would
be made desolate by broken limbs? Itseems,
Charley, from the sequel thatif your conscience
did trouble you on this point, yon needed not
its warning.
After the 'disgracefulro row was about over
the devil-creekers were heard around town
swearing that they would like to know what
had become of their "Fort Madison friends, =
who, they said, had invited them up, and
promised to stand BY them. Il would here
inquire what they could mean by standing
by them, without it was devil-creek paI-
lance Tor an accessory in "row.") Now,
Charley, want to know who you call the
Fort Madison friends of these devil creekers
1t certainly amt the Republicans, so it must
be the men who associate with them and treat
them. Amt you one Of this latter number,
Charley?
