APPROPRIATE AND HANDSOME PRESENT.
We mentioned a short time since, that T.
G. Chamberlain, thefaithful and popular con-
ductor ON the Grand Trunk Railway, had re-
tired from the situation he had so long filled,
and had taken to farming. or,,9l ...-.o7
The employees of the Company, to testify
their regard for their old associate, determined
to do something toward stocking his farm. Ac-
lcordingly, yesterday, they presented him with
a splendid pair of oxen and sled, valued at
1915. The oxen girt seven feet six inches
each, weigh 1900 pounds each, are five years
old and are handsomely matched, 1t was one
of the most appropriate gifts that could be
made, and was highly appreciated by the
worthy recipient. MI III. ,-.---... 81.
Chamberlain has faithfully served the public,
as stage-driver, when stage-coaches were the
fashion, and as conductor on the Grand
Trunk Railway from the time that it opened.
May he find pleasant life in his new occupa-
ton. ..r

CONGREGATIONAL.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-Mr. Stevens,
from the Committee on Reconstruction.
reported joint resolution to amend the
Constitution by providing that representa-
tion and direct taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States which may be
included within the Union according to
their respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in each State,
and excluding Indians not taxed: Pro-
vided, That whenever the elective franchise
shall be denied or abridged in any State on
account of race or color, ali persons of
such race or color shall be excluded from
e+basis Of representation.
Mr.. Rogers, of New Jersey, declared the
proposed amendment contrary to the
principle npon which the Government is
founded-namely, that representation and
taxation must go together. A vote will be
taken tomorrow.

The attention of the colored por-
ton of the community is earnestly in
vited to the order of Col. Kozlay,
published i'll to-day's issue, in which
he informs them that unless they make
contracts or are properly engaged in
some occupation by the first of Feb
ruary next, they will be arrested and
put to work on the public roads.
The freedmen of this District, from
all we can learn, are behaving re-
markably well, and have shown a
general desire to go to work and earn
a livelihood for the coming year, but
of course there are necessarily some
idle ones congregated about in camps
and wandering about the country,
and we cannot conceive of q better
decision than that of making idle
and bad people work the miserable
and impossible roads for the good
and industrious people who are en-
gagged in useful and legitimate en-

CONDENSATION FOR WAR LOSSES.

COMPENSATION FOR WAR LOSSES.
Some time ago we called attention to
9 movement made in Congress touch
ing the claims for losses inflicted
during the war by the Federal troops
on peaceable citizens of the South.
Mr.. Delano, member of the Com
mittee of Claims in the House of
Representatives, has brought up the
subject of those losses in a spirit
which is certainly extraordinary when
it is recollected that Congress holds,
Ill relation to them, the character of
a high court of last appeal. Speak
ing apparently on the part of his
committee, he says that 'sthe attempt
to indemnify the numerous class of
claimants would require more money
than the revenue of the nation could
at any time satisfy" He, therefore,
adds that it seemed to the COM
mlttee that the House should deter
mine whether such claims should be
assumed" In making this sugges-
tion, however, he does not allege,
positively, that the number of claims
actually presented point to any such
apprehension; but, on the contrary,
confesses frankly that he is unable
to state the amount of destruction
which may be made basis of de-
mands for compensation. In at
tempting thus to place Congress in
the position of refusing to pay just
claims upon it because, forsooth, for
all Congress knows to the contrary,
these claims may possibly overrun
the means of payment is, we submit,
the suggestions of a fragrant dis
honesty.
The losses for which compensation
may be properly demanded by people
at the South. do not constitute, as
Mr.. Delano appears to think, subjects
of Federal s'charity!'' The benevo-
lence to which he refers in the matter,
has nothing to do with the disposition
of the claims under consideration;
they are neither more nor less than
demands of right and justice

FINANCIAL AND CONNER TAI. SUMMARY.
The movement in gold yesterday amounted
to over $400, 200, at Tuesdays quotations
35@36. The telegraphic advices of a still
further decline at New York had no effect
whatever on the market.
Foreign exchange exhibited slight re-
action, and rates, towards the close of the
day, showed an improvement of 40G5 per
cent, but the movement was Of restricted
character throughout, and the market
closed quiet at 48@49 for bank sterling,
464@47{ for clear bills, and 45@46 for bills
with documentary evidence attached; g. Is
@3.763f, for bank francs, and 3.S0@3. .S5f.
for commercial do.
Domestic exchange was quiet, but steady
The aggregate sales showed falling off as
compared with Tuesdays report, but there
was nevertheless full average days bust
ness transacted, at l per cent. at bank,
and l4gl3 per cent. discount, out Of doors,
for sight checks Oh the Northern cities,
and corresponding rates for short sight
and time drafts.
Sugar and molasses have been inactive
for few days past, owing to the limited
character OF the supply. Sales yesterday
included only some small lots Of both at
previous figures.
Flour and grain are in good supply, and
very firmly held at previous prices. Sales
yesterday embraced $500 to 1000 barrels
flour, and moderate amount Of corn and
oats, at fully previous figures.

Revenue law imposed.
