In January, 1884, Immediately after the
conclusion Of peace with Great Britain,
Congress adopted the following
Resolved unanimously, That it be, and
il is hereby earnestly recommended TO the
Legislatures the respective States, to pro-
vide for the restitution Of all the estates,
rights and properties, which have been con
fscated, belonging 10 real British subjects.
And it is also hereby ear
nestly recommended to the several States
TO reconsider and revise all their acts and
laws regarding the premises, so as to rem
der the said laws or acts perfectly consis-
tent, not only with Justice and equality, bat
with that spirit Of Cancellation which, on
the return Of the blessings Of peace, should
universally prevail
How different the spirit that animated
the men Of that dag from that exhibited
by the party in power to~day ConciIia-
ton forms no part of the programme the
Radicals have marked cut for holding
and governing the Southern States. Judged
by their acts, their policy is to embittei
the Southern people, and if possible pro
woke them 70 the commission Of deeds
which can be pleaded in Justification fol
the degrading terms they demand from
this people Only a few weeks ago, as
the ttotchaudturpcntiue brigade swung
round the circle. a wild clnmor came up
from the spirits who mingled with them
for disfranchisrmant and confscation
that the party IN power might the more
surely hold the power which adyentitious
circumstances had placed in their hands

port that Chief Justice Chase is Of the

Official Documents in Reference q
Mexican Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-In response to
q call of the House the President to-day
transmitteda number of official documents
touching Mexican affairs. The first of these
is the protest Of Gen. Oftega against his ar
rest, which has heretofore been published.
In transmitting this protest, Gen. Sheridan
assigned his reasons for ordering the arrest
Of Ortega. He says SO long as he was mere
ly engaged in attempting to create dissen-
sion among his own people, while sOjourn-
ing in this country, there was no violation
of our neutrality laws, but when he went
further, and formed combinations and APP
pealed to arms to assert his cllims as Presi-
dent of Mexico, this was palpable viola
ton of our neutrality laws Gen. Sheridan
considered it his duty to interfere. He took
the precaution to warn 0rtega against the
prosecution Of his designs, which he dis
carded; and as he was satisfed that Ortega
was about to cross the frontier. Gen. Sheri-
dan says be ordered his arrest on the same
principle that the Fenians were arrested, in
attempting to violate our laws, by invading
Canada.
His concurrence with the views Of Mai.
Gen. Sheridan are endorsed on this paper
by Gen. Grant in forwarding it to the Sec
rotary of War.
Gen. Sheridan's report, concerning the
recent troubles on the Rio Grande, in
which Gen. Sedgwiek figured, is also trans
mitted. The General advises the General
Commanding that he fears Gen. Sedgwick,
for some inexeusable reason, has demanded
the surrender Of Matamoras, and if it is
true be will Immediately relieve him Of
his command.
A second dispatch, dated New Orleans,
Dec. 18th, 1866 he informs the General
Commanding, that on arriving at Browns
vile, Texas, on the 9th Of December, he
was advised that Gen Sedgwick had de-
manded and received the surrender of
Maiamoras from Canales, who Arbitrarily
held that city against Gen. Escobedo, the
representative of the JuareE government,
and that on the 30th November the few
United States troops which held the city
were Withdrawn 20 the American side
Of the Rio Grande in accordance with his
orders Disappearing the occupation BY
Gen. SedgeWick. This strange proceeding
is unknown to him, but the alleged one was
TO protect American citizens there resident
and their property. Gen. Sheridan gives
il as his opinion that the merchants Of
Matamoras, who he says were blockade
runners during the war, anu who are now
Imperialists, fearing that EscobedO would
capture the city and take their property,
induced Gen. Sedgewiek 70 make the inn
proper movement. This, the General says,
was the whole point OF the affair. He
adds that the occupation Of the city was
mere matter Of form, and had the consent
Of Gen. Escohedo, Who made no objections,
and who, since the city passed into his
hands, has called on Gen. SedgeWick in
the most friendly manner, and also asked
me to forgive his action.

RICHMOND, VA, Dec. 20. Judge Mere
dith, Of the Circuit Court, has issued a writ
of habeas corpus to-day for Dr. Jas. L. Wat
son. Gen. Schofeld declined to produce
the prisoner, assigning reasons in effect that
the act of Congress July 9th, 1866, requires
the Commissioner of the Freedman's Bu-
rean to exercise military jurisdiction over
ali cases involving the rights to equal bene-
fits and laws, and effecting personal security
Of all citizens, without respect TO color
This act having been officially published
by the President through the War Depart
ment, Gen. Schoield says il BIS duty, as an
officer of the United States, and as such
Commissioners Of the Freedmen's Bureau,
to decline TO comply with the writ.

New YORK, Dec. 20.-The Chamber oil
Commerce has indefinitely postponed for
