\ POINT TO BE SErTLED-LIlhe following
case has seen submitted to the commissioner
Of the Freedmens Bureau for his opinion

bis daughter, Sarah Ann from her master,
Henry Saunders, Of Leesburg, Va, in the
year 1860, for whom he agreed to pay the
sum of $3.50 NJ. Amos Hughes vent his Sc
curity for the payment Of the money. Mr..
Eor$cy has paid $3.50 Of the purchase money,
and the remaining $500 are in the hands OF his
security. Saunders demands the balance, but
Dorsey does not wish to pay it, thinking it un-
fair that he should now be obliged to pay for
the freedom Of his daughter. The Commis-
>oner replied that in his opinion the 5000 bal
ance referred to should not be paid by Mr.
Dorsey, tut that the case seemed to involve
points that should be settled BY the proper judi
cial tribunals - Wash. Star.

The News.

It will be seen from our telegrams
that the United States Senate has re-
jected the famous amendment to the
Constitution, proposed in the House
Of Representatives by the Reconstruc-
ton Committee, and forced through
that body in such hot haste. The
vote in the Senate was, yeas 25, nays
%, which, so far from being the two
thirds required, was really very
small majority. The radicals arc cvi-
IDENTIFY at fault. They know not what
to do. A few weeks ago this particu-
lar amendment was the pet Of the
party, and the only question was, not
as to whether it would pass the Sc
nate, but whether the President would
sign it. Thad was afraid he would
not, and therefore declared that it
would not need his signature, but ex-
pressed not doubt as to its fate in
the Senate. We republish the re-
jected amendment to refresh the
readers recollection:
Resoloed By tie Senate and House
Of Representatives., etc., (toco-hirds O,
boh Houses concuoring,) That the fol
lowing article be proposed to the LIE
gislatures of the several States as an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, which, when ratified
by three-fourths of said Legislatures
shall be valid as part of said Consti
tuition, viz: sArtice.-Representa
tives shall be apportioned among the
several States which may be included
within this Union according to thei1
respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in each
State. excluding Indians not taxed
ProrideI, That whenever the elective
franchise shall be denied or abridged
in any State on account of race OF
color, all persons therein of such race
or color shall be excluded from the
basis of representation.

The case of the United States VS..
Daniel and r. Addison Jeffcoat, which
has excited some interest for several
weeks past, before the military COM
mission, sitting in this city, has been
brought to q close by a judgment of
not gully, which finding has been up
proved by Gen. Ames. The prison

prosecuted by Lieut.. Crooks, acting
as Judge Advocate. The charge was,

fords us great pleasure to record this
termination of the case, as our COM
munity appeared to be getting some
what feverish, under the impression
that to be charged before the com
mission, was certainly to be condemn
ed to heavy penalties and long impri-
sonment. The decision in this case
will be received with favor. It will
tend to disabusc the public mind Of
this impression, and to show that
Justice will be metcd out by the COM
mission upon fair case made. We
are informed by one of the counsel
for the prisoners, that the Judge Adj
vocate conducted the prosecution with
courtesy, and presented the case for
the United States with skill and

THE NEXT VETO TO BE UNAvA1L1NG.
The following statement relative to
the measure proposed in Congress for
the admission of Tennessee into the
Union will attract attention. It is
made by the usually well-informed
Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore San:
"The majority report will un-
doubtedly be maintained The joint
resolution which requires that Ten
nessee should acknowledge herself
out of the Union, and to be sup
plant for re-admission upon the
terms which Congress imposes, will
command, no doubt, q thirds
vote in both Houses of Congress.
Tennessee may assent to it, and ratify
it. No representation will Tennessee
have till she ratifies that decree. The
President will have to act on this
joint resolution just as certainly as he
had to act upon the bill admitting
Texas. His veto will amount to no
thing. The committee have counted
votes in both Houses upon the maa-
sure"

THE TRUE LIFE. The mere lapse
Of years is not life To eat and drink
and sleep; to be exposed to darkness
and the light; to pace around the
mill of habit and turn the wheel of
wealth; to make reason our book
keeper, and turn thought into imple-
ments of trade-this is not life In
all this, but poor fraction of the
consciousness of humanity is awaken
ed, and the sanctities still slumber
which makes it most worth while to
be. knowledge, truth, love, beauty,
goodness, faith, alone can give vit,li-
~ to the mechanism of existence.
The laugh of mirth which vibrates
through the heart; the tears which
freshen the dry waste within; the
music that brings childhood back;
the prayer that calls the future near;
the doubt which makes us mediate;
the death which startles us with mys-
terry; the hardships that force us to
struggle, tie anxiety that ends in
trust-these are the true nourishment
of our natural being.

SPAIN AND CHILE. E.-The news from
Havana is significant, if true. It in
forms us that the Spanish commander
in the Pacific has made certain pro-
positions to the Chilean Government
looking to an amicable settlement of
the difficulties between the two ma
tions. There is no good authority
for this report, though it may still be
reliable; but, if true, it is an evidence
that the Spanish Admiral understands
the Chileans quite as little rs they
seem to be understood in Madrid He
proposed suspension of hostilities
and the appointment of commission
ers to discuss the points in issue; but,
as :. preliminary and necessary prece-
dent to this step toward peace, Chile
was TO surrender to him Covadonga
and all the Spanish prisoners. Of
course this modest proposition was
refused, us was also subsequent one
that the Chilean Minister for Foreign
Affairs should go on board the Admi-
rails flagship and endeavor to make
some other more satisfactory arrange
ment The Admiral was informed
that if he had any propositions to
make they would be received in tho
Chilean capital. 1t will be seen that
the little Republic has her dignity as
well as the clustering monarchy.

A correspondent of the Norfolk OLD
Dominion, writing from Weldon, N.
c., under date of March 6, furnishes
some interesting items. We make
the following extracts:
The stupendous work at this point,
known as the Weldon Bridge, span
ming the Roanoke River, on the Sea-
board and Roanoke Railroad, which
was totally destroyed on the 18th of
April, is in process of rapid compile
ton. Its description is too we'll
known to repeat, as it is to be built
like the former The building is
under the immediate superintendence
of that able constructor, Samuel II.
Hand, Esq, of Portsmouth. who
confidently looks forward to the last
week in April as the period of its
inaugural. The reconstruction of this
bridge will cost about $50, OOO-it
originally cost $4,000. After COM
pletion, the Petersburg and Weldon
trains, as of old, will run over it Us
fnr as Cary's Station. This privilege,
before the war, cost that corporation
$4,000 per annum.

Col. Roberts, one of the Presidents
of the Fenian Brotherhood, issues an
appeal to the members of the order.
He says:
England is seeking to crush out
rebellion before it is well begun, by
filling her jails with patriots" and
asks elf Irishmen in America will
stand idly by? Come forward and
fight the common foe in the only way
in which military aid can reach them.
Not n moment is to be lost. Your
prompt assistance will enable us to
take the field within = days. Let
men who will fight report to General
Sweeney, and those who can contri-
butte send their money at once to
these headquarters, for which they
will receive irish national bonds"

UNITED STATES DIRECT TAX ON REAL

owners of real estate should look to
the payment of the United States di-
rect tax thereon. The law provides
that this tax shall be paid within sixty
days after the opening of the Offices
Of collection in any city OF county.
The tax is twenty-seven cents on

sessment of 1860, which, if not paid
