AT THE WHITE HOUSE,


Among the visitors at the Executive
Mansion this morning were Horace Gree
ley and Mayor Hoffman, of New York,
and Dick Taylor, formerly general in the
rebel army.-Stdr.
RESTORATION OF REBEL PROPERTY.
The House Judiciary Committee Is still
engaged examining witnesses in relation
to the restoration of confscated property
through the agency of the Freedmen's
Bureau.
VARIOUS MATTERS.
The Committee on Public Expenditures,
it is said, will tomorrow report articles of
impeachment against Collector Smythe, of
New York city.
IL appears that the further inquiry as to
the loyalty Of Governor Thomas, senator
elect of Maryland, has been postponed
until the next session of Congress.
The Senate Judiciary Committee unani-
mously refused to go into the investiga-
ton as to the legality and regularity of
the election of the Maryland Legislature,
which was urged by Senator Nye on be-
half of certain citizens of Baltimore.
RELEASE OF Mr.. DAVIS.
There is not much doubt of the speedy
release of Jefferson Davis from confne-
ment if time is afforded before the recess
OF Congress to act on the resolution of
Senator Wilson. introduced in the Senate
to-day. Nearly all the leading Radicals
have for year past clamored either for
his trial or discharge. Thaddeus Stevens,
in particular, has always been opposed to
any personal punishment of the Confede-
rate leader. His cry is: "Confiscate their
property and let them go'-the Standard
deliver policy. The objections of Chief
Justice Chase to try cases in Virginia have
been rather augmented than decreased by
recent legislation, and in view of this fact,
if Congress passes the resolution Of Mr..
Wilson, which is very probable, the Presi-
dent will promptly order the release of
Mr.. Davis on his own recogniZance.-Sun.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
The receipts from this source to-day
were 1855, 630.37, making the total amount
for this week S2,l35, 467.37, and the total
receipts since the beginning Of the present
fiscal year, $2lO, $3.50, O36.l7.-Star, 23rd.

THE LAW IN RELATION TO CIGAR
BoxEs.-As many of our business men and
others are daily subjecting themselves to a
heavy penalty by their ignorant violation
of the 32d section of the revenue law
passed at the close Of the Thirty-ninth
Congress, we state, for the information Of
all concerned, that the section in question
enacts, "That any person who shall sell,
give away, or otherwise dispose of any
empty cigar box or boxes which have been
stamped without first defacing or destroy
ing such stamps, or shall refill any cigar
box without first defacing or destroying
such stamp, shall, on conviction of either
offence, be liable to penalty of 800, or
to Imprisonment not exceeding sixty days,
or both, in the discretion Of the court,
with the costs of the trial and it shall be
lawful for any cigar inspector or revenue
officer to destroy any empty cigar box
upon which cigar stamp shall be found"

The TRIAL OF SURRATT.-Surratt will
not probably be tried before the next term
of the Criminal Court, in June, over which
Chief Justice Cartier presides. The pri-
soner and his counsel are anxious for a
speedy trial, but for some unassigned rea-
son his case is thus delayed. The prisoner
has discarded his Zouave uniform, and now
wears plain, citizens suit.-National Re

A GREAT PLoUGH.-The great Fowler
steam plough has been in successful use in
England for the last ten years, and is capa-
BILE, in all kinds of weather, of going tho,
roughly over an acre of ground every hour
of the day. The plough which is at New
Orleans was constructed at cost of about
f2, 800 sterling, and was sent over here fol

Two Leading Ras,s.l Paper. ON Con.


FROM the Albany 5oufh1i
We cannot believe that the proposition
which Mr.. Stevens has put forward with
SO much elaborateness in carefully-pre-
pared speech will secure sufficient support
in Congress to make it really formidable.
We should blush for our humanity and
begin to doubt our civilization were such a
result possible.
The Nation, thoroughly Radical paper
(one OF its editors Is a SON of William
Lloyd Garrison), gives the bill the follow
ing solid rebuff after summarizing its pro-
visions
"a bill in which provision is made for
the violation of greater number of the
principles of good government, and for the
opening of deeper sink of corruption, has
never been submitted to legislative body,
and we venture to add that had anybody
proposed such measure to the Sultan
after the storming of Constantinople he
would have been expelled from the Medj-
lis as ruthless and troublesome vision
airy. There is, of course, no probability
that Congress will pass it; but the mere
prospect that it will be discussed in the
House affiicts us, and must afilict every
body who cares for the credit Of the coun-
try"

der obligation, while the number of those
who had been freed from their obligations
up to that date was 5,Sl0,607.

A LEAP FOR LIFE.-Last Friday after
ternoon, Charley Hoyt, an engineer on the
Western Union road, and friend of his
by the name of John DIN, met with an ad-
venture which nearly cost them their
lives. They were looking at the break in
the bridge over Turtle creek which had
been caused by the freshet. While stand
ing there the workmen undertook to move
a spiledriver. Charley and his friend
went to assist them, but while moving the
machine it tipped over, and the tower or
upright part was coming directly where
Hoyt and Olin were standing. To retreat
was impossible; to stand still was to be
crushed. There was only one chance for
life, and that was to jump into the water,
twenty-five feet below. How slight that
chance seemed as one looked upon that
seething, boiling mass Of water, filled with
great cakes Of floating ice that as they
swept by were crushed and jammed to-
gether! Still, it was the only chance. Hoyt
was the first to leap; and Olin delayed until
nearly too late. AS he sprang into the air
he was struck upon the head by the edge
Of one Of the beams, which inflicted a
frightful cash. The dark waters closed
upon them, and when they arose they were
far down the stream, which swept them
along with force irresistible. Then began
the terrible struggle for life. Yielding to
the current, they endeavored to reach the
land farther down the stream. Now it
seemed as though they were gaining, when
they would be swept back again into the
centre of the stream, or, struck by the
floating ice, they would be driven under
the water. Thus for nearly half an hour
did they battle for life. And at last, when
nearly exhausted and gone, they managed
to get on some ice that had been lodged,
and over this precarious footing made their
way to shore nearly a mile below the spot
where they took their wild leap.-Racine
(WiS.) Journal.
