The bill of Senator TRuHBuLL to enlarge
the powers1f the Freedmen's Bureau passed
the House rs 1t came from the Senate by the
decisive vote of one hundred and thirty-s'x
to thirty-tiree. While in our opinion II
would have been far better, and lees likely to
embroil the future, to have placed the func-
lions Of the Freedmen's Bureau under the ex.
elusive control of the army, limiting perform.
ance of its extraordinary duties to the term
Of military control which we are to exercise
over the late insurrectionary States, yet we
do not feel any great alarm that perma-
nent burden is to be incorporated in our po-
litical system, or that any great addition Of
incumbents to our plothoric civil list will be
inflicted upon us.
The bill provides that the President may
make the necessary appointments from the
public or from the army. We have every
confidence that he will protect the Treasury
and while giving all tho effect to the bill
which humanity demands, will not permit
the measure to become the agency Of any
theory, or the argurcr Of any experiment at
the Government expense. Mr.. STEVENS
amendment to allow tho occupants of the
lands allotted to freedmen by Gen. SHERMAN
unlimited possession, was voted down by
more than three to one.

NORTH CARoLIsA.-A gentleman from
North Carolina reports Major WrcKERsHAN,
Superintendent of Freedmen for the Southern
District of the State, las we learn from the
New York Herald as representing that the
negroes have got over the idea that they
were to be supported by the Government,
and are freely entering into contracts fol
employment. They have decided prefer.
ence for working for Northern mon. II the
wages are paid promptly the work goes on
without trouble. A majority Of the North.
ern men are engaged in speculation, mostly
in resin and turpentine, and their advent
has caused renewed energy in the msnufsc.
ture of those staples to an extent that the
product will be double the amount ever pro.
duced before.
The social feeling among all classes Is said
to be quite as good as could be expected, and
is constantly improving. There are now
eight schools in the southern portion of the
State, embraced in district of nine coun.
ties, which have nearly nine hundred
scholars. Out Of three thousand freedmen
gathered Mt Wilmington last August who
were dependent upon the Government, only
about two hundred remain, and these are
mostly women and children.

Tho House Committee Of Naval Affairs
this morning agreed to report to the House
a'bill recognising the Pay Department Of
the Navy. Under the present laws the mum.
Der Of paymasters in the navy was not def
nitely fixed, but appointments have been
made from timo to time during the war as
tho exigencies Of the service required.
A large proportion Of these appointments
were made under tho statute of 1862, which
provided that they should continue only
during the late rebellion. The bill now rec
commended by the Naval Committee provides
for the appointment Of eighty paymasters,
forty past assistant paymasters, and thirty
assistant paymasters. This number is based
on the probable retention Of eighty war YES
sells in commission.

A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ACT
FOR THE DISTRICT.

Tho State of Louisiana brought with it
into this Union, among many other French
laws, one Of most beneficial influence, in un.
lettering the hands of commerce, by permit
ting the formation Of partnerships, IN COM
nssndam, whereby the capitalist is enabled
TO employ his means in active commerce, and
to assist talent and energy, and at the same
time, in an open and honest fashion, to
limit his own liability. The theories and
prejudices of the common law are all steadily
opposed to the system, but one after another
the commercial States have been induced, by
the manifest advantages of the plan and its
excellent working, to adopt it; and the laws
Of each Of the States have been substa ntialIy
copied from that of Louisiana. In New York
millions Of money are now invested in this
way. In the Senate, on Monday, Mr.. LANE,
Of Indiana, introduced bill to authorize the
formation Of such partnerships in this Dis
triot. The bill seems to be well guarded,
and does not differ materially from that of
New York and Massachusetts,.

Mexico.

We clip the following from a letter to the
Boston Journal, dated FL Paso, Mexico, Jan.
uary 5:
should mention, MS in marked contrast to
the cruel and murderous policy of Maximil-
ian in regard TO Mexican prisoners, the trent.
ment of ten French prisoners in possession Of
the Liberals when they came to this city.
The prisoners were taken this side of Chi.
huahua during the recent movement from
that city, and after many Mexican prisoners
had been killed by the Imperie!ists, and a
short time after arriving hero, petitioned
President Juarez for the privilege of joining
the American service at Fort Bliss. This re-.
quest was granted, and instead of being sum.
marily shot, they are now eating the full ra-
tions and wearing the costume Of our "boys
in blue "
Deserters from the French are continually
reaching tho opposite (American) shore of the
Rio Grande. know Of two American COM
panies alone that have already enlisted mi
gratory Frenchmen to the number Of twenty
FIVE.
The Presidents message and the action of
Congress in regard to Mexican affairs are of
course received with great favor and Joy by
the Liberals- The keynote Of popular will
has been struck, and no uncertain sound"
issues.
That the French forces must ultimately
leave Mexico or come into conflict with
United States forces is regarded here as a
definite undisputed fact. In the meantime
all the strategy of diplomacy will be en-!
ployed by Mr.. Seward to avert war, and the
little bands of Liberals scattered through
Mexico will keep alive the spark of their
liberty until 1t is famed by American breezes.

Diplomatic correspondence of somewhat
important character, as affecting the rela.
tions of belligerents at sea, has passed be-
tween the British ambassador at Madrid and
the Spanish government. The British min
lister protested, on the part of his govern
ment, against the Spanish order that all the
crews Of Chilean priyateers not OF Chilean
birth should be treated as pirates, which
they considered contrary to international
law. M. de Castro, the Spanish minister
neatly retorted that British ideas of inter
national law were not always In accordance
with the views of the most distinguished
writer's on tho subject M.ds Castro further
upholds the policy pursued by Admi-
raj Pareja, and reminds Sir John Cramp.

back as 1874, by her treaty with the United
States, that the subjects of either nation ex-

The weather, for once, was all that the
most abject devotse Of fashion could have de-
sired, the air being dry and bracing, and, with
starlight, gaslight, dry streets, and clean
sidewalks, there was no impeachment to pedes-
trianism or mud to render carriage riding
dissgreeable. From eight o'clock until q late
hour there was constant stream Of carriages
passing TO and fro between Corn alley and
Lighthouse point, the roll Of wheels remind
ing one, at first, Of night scenes-pardon the
expression-in Hull at an early period Of the
rebellion, when ambulances, army wagons,
and artillery carriages, and other vehicles,
Numbered through the town. Tempted by
the weather, or pecunidry considerations, or
both, Il was observed that there was an unu-
sual number Of both sexes who preferred tho
health-inspiring exercise Of walking in the
cool air to riding in dirty coaches.
The guests were received by the hosts. The
attendance was large, and the elite Of Hull
society was fully represented, including mem
bers Of the Cabinet, who don't belong here;
foreign ministers, Senators, Representatives,
military officers, and others, q majority Of
whom were accompanied by ladies. While,
as whole, little can be said in praise Of the
taste displayed in dress by the former ser,
the toilets Of their fair companions were, as
rule, models of elegance and good taste
rarely surpassed on any similar occasion.
