From WASHINGTON.

From Washington.
Among the persons lately pardoned
by the President are Messrs. W. N.
Edwards, of North Carolina; James
I. V. Thompson, of Missouri; Mrs.
Laura Conner, of Georgia, and Mr..
H. B. Andrews, Of Te1as-the two
latter coming under the $40, 900
clause
The Supreme Court has decided the
Massachusetts liquor cases, affirming
the judgment of the State Court, to
the effect that q United States license
gives no right to sell liquors in viola
ton of State law.
The Joint Committee of Fifteen,
or at least the House wing of that
important body, is said to be in q
painful state of characterization
Some of the most formidable takers
in the committee are clamorous for
reporting a resolution admitting the
Tennessee delegation at once, with
out any further ifs and ands. The
obnoxious portion of the last resolu-
ton reported from the committee was
only adopted in committee by ma
jority Of one, and Thad. is obliged to
work steadily and persistently to keep
the figures thus. Meanwhile, the
fears of Thad's followers in the COM
mlttee are being worked upon by the
conservative members of the House
and by lugubrious tales about the
waning power of the party in their
own districts. They are especially
anxious about the result of the Con-
necticut election. If Gen. Hawley
should happen to be beaten there,
there would not be q member of the
committee left standing, except, per-
haps, old Thad. The admission of
Tennessee hangs upon the election in
Connecticut.
Cases have recently come to light
in which the President has been
swlndled in some of his appointments
by the radicals. Several Congress-
men, known to be blind followers of
Thaddeus Stevens, but shrewd enough
to keep their names off the record of
votes on all important measures, have
secured good things for their friends
by protesting fast friendship for the
President Once or twice this has
operated injuriously to the real
friends Of the President, and has
been hailed by the country press as
an evidence that the President was
disposed to succumb to radical intiu-
ence and ego back on his friends" as
the phrase is. This state of affairs
has brought number of lately de-
posed postmasters to Washington to
set themselves right before the de-
partment and the President, and get,
If possible, a reversal of the decision
which deposed them. The action of
the department in all these cases
proves that the safest course for Go
vernment officials is to preserve a
clear record as supporters of the Pre-
sident's reconstruction and general
policy.-Cor. NeeC York Herald

SMUGGLING.-A vessel laden with
rum and sugar, direct from the West
Indies, has been seized in the port of
New Bern, North Carolina, for failure
to pay the import duty on the cargo.
Another vessel, with cargo of rum,
has been seized under the same cir
cumstances at Providence, Rhode
Island. Both vessels, with their car
goes, have been confscated.

SOUTHERN RELIEF FAIR IN LONDON.
Mr.. Mason, the ex-Confederate Com
missioner in London, publishes the
following letter in the Times, in sup
port of the bazaar about to be held
by the ladies of Baltimore, in aid of
those in the Southern States who are
suffering from the late war:
SIR: Will you allow me a brief
space in your columns to return nv
thanks to Mr.. Herbert, gentleman
to whom I have not the good fortune
to be known, for his letter in the
Times, of this morning, on behalf of
the suffering people of the Southern
States of America?
The 'Ladies of Baltimore" to
whom he refers, have written to me
also in regard to the bazaar they pro-
pose to hold in that city for the relief
of those in q quote from their letter.
s'the different Southern States where
they have suffered the most from the
devastating armies of the North. +"
With those ladies who are chiefly in
charge have been long and init
mately acquainted. They are of
those who, during the whole war (al-
though its devastations never reached
their homes), ministered personally,
old and young, to the prisoners in
the hospitals of that city, and who,
year after year, impoverished them
selves that they might send relief to
Southern prisoners at distance, so
long held in confinement by the
Nhnu fh,,c
practiced in those paths of benevo-
lence they still seek to explore. Nor
could funds intended for such bene-
Violence be confded to better or more
judicious hands. In their sugges-
tions to me L have not felt at liberty,
from q just sensibility, to appeal to
any but to those few of nv own coun-
trymen in England who have any
means left them. Yet. without vio-
lating such sensibility, it is perhaps
due to those ladies to say that any
voluntary contributions in aid of
their noble efforts which may be sent
to me shall certainly reach them, with
the names of the donors.
AS 20 the suffering in the Southern
States, it may suffice to say, that in
all those States through which the
invading armies passed, but chiefly in
Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia,
whole districts of country were desc
lated and reduced to wilderness,
everything that conduced to human
sustenance destroyed, and those there
inhabiting, many in affiuence, all in
independence, reduced to the abso-
lutte want of the bare necessities of
life-a want none had ever known
before, except when relieving it in
others from their own abundance.
Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, J. M. MASON.

Street Commissioner of New York,

COTTON LANDS GONG BACK TO A
WILDERNESS. A correspondent of
the Mobile Adrertiser, upon whose
judgment the editor relies, gives G.
gloomy picture of the future. He
says:
What are the facts in regard to q
general cultivation of cotton and re-
turn of negroes to field labor A
large proportion of the field hands are
dead Another large number have
left the cotton-growing States. The
cotton-producing lands in the bot
toms will not be in cultivation this
year nor the next; to o great degree
they are going back into the wilder
ness. In no part of the country is a
large proportion of the land likely to
be planted in cotton; much even of
the uplands in Alabama and Missis-
sippi will not be planted at all. A
great number of the negroes are about
the towns and villages, with no sort
of Intention of returning to the planta-
tions. Another fact, known only to
those who are making the effort to
make cotton under the present aspect,
is the general opposition of the negro
women to field labor. The more
sensible of the men see and feel the
necessity OF labor in the cotton field,
but there is Il settled opposition on
the part of the women to go to the
field again. They want to go into
society and have q piano. The wo-
men are the main cotton -pickers
Wban tho rooroac ,o,lo
to make cotton, it was very cold and
wet; they had no houses to live in;
no provisions to live on; they We're
disappointed about the division of
lands and mules. They said, we'll, if
we have to work, we might as well
make a contract. They were, to a
great degree, compelled to make an
engagement to work. But when the
pressure of work in the heat of the
spring and summer comes on, will he
perform his contract? That is the
question. The shade-tree on the
bank of IL stream will afford house
enough, and he can forage at large

The French Government has issued
proposals for 5000, 900 pounds of to-
bacco, which cannot be filed here as
