1t is the intention OF the Supreme
Court to adjourn on the LIST Of April to
the LIST of May, and then take a recess
till the LIST Of August. The May ses-
sion is TO be devoted to delivering opin-
ions.
The Union Republican Committee
intend to establish headquarters in New
York city. The time and place of hold
ing the next National Convention will
not be fixed until next Winter. st,
Louis and Wheeling have presented their
claims,
The Secretary Of the Treasury speaks
In the strongest terms against the Ran
dali banking bill, and distinctly indi-
Gates his purpose to resign, if it shall be
adopted, as it destroys the business Of
the country banks. There is not the
slightest danger that the House will
pass 1t.
The House judiciary committee, be-
fore the close of the session, will make
report on jeff. Davis completely in the
assassination of Lincoln. The Secretary
of War submitted vast amount Of doc
umentary evidence in this particular,
when he was before them on Friday.
Mr.. Sherman of Ohio presented a
petition in the Senate on Tuesday week,
asking Congress to prohibit any person
addicted to the use of intoxicating
liquors from holding office under the
United States Government. This is
considered by some the first proposition
vet made for the total abolition Of the
Government,
One of the severest snow storms
which has visited Washington for years
prevailed Sunday. There were about
eight or ten inches on the level, while it
was drifted six and ten feet deep, No
trains for the North and West yentured
out, and there were no passengers to &c
with them. None of the churches were
! opened in the evening.
Old Samuel Downing OF Saratoga

1O5 years"
The Ways and Means Committee
will try to hit the temper Of the Hous'
on gold sales and contraction. The vot
last week on q resolution showed that {
majority are opposed to any more con
traction than the four millions montl
allowed by the existing law. Tn
House voted against the further contrac
ton which the retiring Of compound in
terest notes would give, and good judge
say that the House will express in de
cided terms it's opinion that government
notes should be issued in place Of ma
tured compound interest notes, Their
is reason to believe that Secretary Nc
Culloch will not make serious objectio
to this. He consented Saturday, to tn
proposition to make all sales Of gOl
public. If any gold bill gets throug

THE LATE SToRM.-The storm and cold
weather Of last week were remarkable
both from their severity and the extent
of country over which they prevailed.
In the New England States, it was es-
peciany severe. In Boston, on Friday,
business was almost entirely suspended,
and none of the schools were in session.
At New Haven, a dispatch says, the snow
was six feet deep. At Fortress Monroe
the weather was the severest known in
ten years. The Potomac was closed by
ice at Washington and vessels are still
ice bound. At st. Louis heavy snow fell,
and also at Halifax. In New York and
thereabout railroads, ferries and steam
ers had to cease running and have not
yet fully resumed their trips. The
veteran Commodore Blake was lost in
the snow storm at Brooklyn and is sup.
posed to have persisted. The present
Winter has been unusually severe in all
parts Of the country. On the Northern
plains deep snow and intense cold have
prevailed TO an extent unknown fOl
wears.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY %, 1867.
Mexican Affairs.

The recent mission Of Messrs. General
Sherman and Hon. L. D. Campbell to
Mexico, naturally turns the attention OF
the people to the result. Thus far 1t
has accomplished but little from the
fact of q rivalry as to which of the two
gentlemen were at the head of the mis-
sion. The present situation seems to in
dictate the determination of Macmillan
10 remain where he is and to fight it out
10 the end.
The Liberals now have possession Of
all Lower California, the States of So
nora, chihuahua, part OF Vera Cruz
and Puebla, and ten of the smaller
States. In these States are located some
of the most important cities and towns
in the Republic, and host of minor
places. All that now remains to Max
imilian, OF his so.called empire, are the
few points in that section of country
still occupied by French troops; and all
these will be evacuated by them during
the next few months, and will fall into
he hands OF the persevering and patri-
otto Liberals, as all the other cities
lately garrisoned by the French have
done upon their leaving them. 1t APP
pears on consideration that 1t will be
absolutely, morally and physically i'm
possible for Macmillan to remain there
any great length of time after the last OF
the French army have embarked at Vera
Cruz, Notwithstanding the promises OF
assistance from the Church party,
We shall expect soon to have the in
telligence OF Maximilian's abdication,
Notwithstanding his boast that he will
remain where he is until he dies, for he
is too sensible TO sacrifice his life in q
vain attempt to establish throne in the
land of the AzteCs.
President Juarez will probably soon
arrive in Monterey, from whence he will
doubtless go to the City Of Mexico,
where he will re-establish the Liberal
Republican form Of government guaran-
teed to the country by its Constitution
of 1867, for maintaining the organic
law of the land, in support Of which so
much blood has been shed, before and
since the French occupation Of that
country. The Liberal forces ere few
months pass will be in undisputed pos,
session of every city, town and village
in the Republic. When this shall have
taken place, the contest will be whether
Macmillan can hold his own, in this
triangular duel, now gathering strength
and approaching a critical movement
This contest will be watched with in
tense interest by the American people
after the practical failure of our mission
TO accomplish anything of Importance
either 10 us or for the contending
parties.

MARYLAND.-A bill has been intro
duoed in the Maryland State Senate
which has for its object the prevention
of the return of colored apprentices to
their parents. 1t takes away from Judge
Bond all power to issue writs of habeas
corpus in cases between master and ap-
prentice, and is designed to prevent him
from restoring to parents colored chill
dren bound TO former owners. The bill
further provides that in no case shall the
jurisdiction of Judge Bond extend be-
yond the limits Of the city of Baltimore
which prevents writs issued by him from
being enforced in the late slaveholding
section. There is no doubt that the bill
will pass both branches of the Legisla
ture and become law.

THE RAILROAD WAR In New YORK.
The railroad war in New York has been
satisfactorily adjusted and travellers and
freight shippers will no longer be incon-
yenienced in consequence of it. Van
derbilt has of course come out ahead,
and has secured from the managers of
the New York Central railroad the
promise that they will furnish freight
for the Hudson River railroad, Of which
road Mr.. Vanderbilt is owner, in the
summer months, instead of shipping il
all from Albany or Athens to New York
by boat. The settlement of the Difficult
ty was probably FASTENED by the legis.
latve investigation, which has already
begun and will be completed, and
measures taken to secure the public
against a repetition of the recent
emeute.

ANNEXATION FEELING IN CANADA
The feeling in Canada in favor of an
nexation to the United States is steadily
increasing and becoming holder in its
expression. The British government has
already intimated its willingness to part
with Canada, when the people desire it,
as 1t is an expense and trouble to her.
While she would oppose its conquest,
she countenances and is forwarding the
project of confederation, which looks to
eventual independence, and her states
men must be wise enough to see that for
every chord of connection with the
mother country that is severed a new
one will be formed between British
America and the American Union.
Buffers prophesies are not without
reason and argument to back them.

all the British elements on this CONT
nent under one powerful government

combined wealth and influence shall

stitutions-both civil and religious.
The latest display Of feeling is con
tanned in the following extract from tn
French Canadian paper, the Journal ST
Hyacinthe, of Saturday last:

A RUTLAND VocALIsT ABRoAD,-We
learn from the Ogdensburgh IN, "
Journal that at a musical tableau held
In that place on Saturday evening, Dec
Goth, Miss Eliza Barney OF Rutland ia
yored the audience with one Of her
choice songs, with Accomplishments on
the piano OF the effect produced upon
the listeners by Miss Barney's wonderful
execution, the Journal says;
1--WE were most agreeably surprised,
on Saturday evening, while attending
the tableauX entertainment, by q beau
tiful, well executed song, with piano &C
compartment, from Miss Barney. In
stead of boring the audience with a
fifteen minutes display Of hourishes and
tortured sounds, she gave a minutes
prelude of exquisite taste and faultless
execution, and then commenced her
song. The execution Of the very first
line revealed q rich mellow voice, of
great compass and SURPRISING sweetness,
which had been successfully trained and
highly cultivated. From beginning to
end the admiration Of the audience rap
idly increased, a1d she was greeted at
its close with the most earnest aD-
plause we have heard in Eagle Hall for
long time and which would not abate
till Miss Barney re-appeared and favored
the house again. We believe this was
the first appearance before public au-
dience of this accomplished lady since
she has taken up her residence with us
and it was decided success.
