EVIL EFFECT OF THE ARREST OF AD-
MIRAL SEMMEs- any man pre-
tend that if the Southern States were
still belligerent, with fleets and
armies under their control, that the
Federal Government would venture
on so fragrant q violation of public
faith and the rights of war, as is in
volved in the arrest and trial of Ad-
miral Semmes? Would that Govern
ment so challenge retaliation on its
own soldiers detained in Southern
prisons? Is it magnanimous, then !;
is it consonant with the character of
brave and puissnnt nation, to op-
press an unarmed and helpless foe by
acts OF injustice which would not
have been hazarded if that enemy
were Ill condition to avenge the
wrongs of outraged nature?
The effect of Admiral Semmes' ar
rest will be most unpropitious to the
interests of the Union in the South.
There is not man, woman or child
beyond the Potomac-there are very
few on the hither side-who do not
rcprobate the act as gross infraction
Of the plighted faith of the Govern
ment. 1t is fraught, beside, with an
alarming menace to every person in
the South who has borne arms against
the United States. Admiral Semmes
has precisely the same parole which
protects General Lee; and the latter
might be just as properly arrested
and punished for his belligsrent acts.
Yet, when it was sought to implicate
General Lee with the atrocities of
Anderscnvillc, Gen. Grant promptly
lnterposed the safeguard of the parole
which he had accorded his ilustrious
adversary. No nan in the South will
feel secure if the impunity of Admiral
Selnmes be violated. The returning
confidence and "loyalty" of the
South people will be shocked and
propelled IN the opposite direction of
mlstrust and discomfort. Suspicion
and resentment will be diffused over
the entire community, and the fra
ternal accord of the sections be indie
1inltely delayed. For the sake of the
Union we entreat the President to
order the instant release OF Admiral
Semmes. .-Nep York Neus.
The order mastering out unem-
pioyed generals will be promulgated
about January Is.

From WashinStol,.

WASHINGTON, January 5.--Secretary Stan
ton having officially notified the committee
81 his declension to pronounce a eulogy on
the life and character of the late President
Lincoln, another meeting has been called
TO select another person.
The Committee of Fifteen on Reconstruc-
ton propose to send a special commission
South to enquire into the condition of
affairs, with the WOW of obtaining Droper
information.
The Secretary Of the Treasury, to-day,
decided to issue railroad bonds to the
Kansas and Leavenworth Railroad Com
pany, on the second division of the road
1t is stated here that no Congressman
can hope for official favor or patronage in
at least two Of the departments of the Go
vernnent, unless he shall declare for what
is termed the Presidents policy. 1t is
being Indignantly commented upon by
members here. Announcements boldly
made in at least one Of the departments
will, it is believed, from the temper it has
evoked, work its own cure.
Mr.. Hickey, for forty years chief clerk of
the Senate, died at O'clock this morning
Judge Spalding, Of Ohio, is making
radical speech in the Committee OF the
Whole on the subject of reconstruction.
An important resolution was offered in
the House, providing that all public lands
III the Southern States be thrown open to
actual settlers, according to the decision OF
the Land Commissioners. They are now
open to settlement by black as well as
white men.
Official documents show that the entire
number OF men called out during the war
was nearly two millions.
WASHINGTON, January The Congress
sional Committee of Reconstruction had a
meeting to- day and appointed Senators
tessenden aad Johnson and Representa-
tive Washburne, Of Illinois, to wait on the
PRESIDENT, with whom they had an hours
interview.
WASHINGTON, January 7.--Official news
from Chihuahua, up to the I'd ult, has
been received. JuureZ entered on second
term as President without opposition.
RegeIls has been appointed General-in-
Ortega, assassinated by Maximilian.

The receipts for customs at the four
principal ports of the United States for the
six months ending December 81, 1865,
were, i'll round numbers, ST., 7,50O,0 900. The
total receipts from all ports for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1865, were only

half year has cqualled, il not exceeded,
the twelve months that preceded it.

PERTAINING TO THE SKATING PARK.-
In order that the good people on this
side OF the river may be able to learn
without too much trouble, when the
Park Is In good order for skating and
when not, the managers have deter
mined to erect post on the Island
shore, opposite the foot of Monroe
street, on which will be displayed, in
the day time, a red flag when the Park
Is open, and, Mt night, red lantern.
The absence of these respectively will
give notice that there Is no skating.
This arrangement we think much pre-
feTable to the display of Il flag and lam
tern on the Island end of the bridge. ms
TO see 1t would require one TO go TO the
bridge or the river bank.
