Is ALABAMA "A STATE oH A TERE1-
ToRY?-The question of the status of
the Southern States lately in rebel
lion is about to come before the
United States Supreme Court for de-
cision. A man named Jordan was
recently brought before the Federal
Court sitting in Montgomery, Ala,
on a charge Of felony, and, having
been found guilty, was sentenced by
Judge Busteed to twenty-one years
Imprisonment. His counsel have de-
termined to apply to the Supreme
Court for writ of hubeas corpus, on
the ground that Alabama is not a
State, but a territory, and rs such
Judge Busteed's District Court had
no legal status. The matter will thus
be brought fairly and squarely fore
the learned judges OF our highest
judicial tribunal, and if they will
meet the question openly and render
a plain decision, we may expect a
solution of what is now a very compli-
pllcated political subject.

The following canard is from the
re-lie-able Washington correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Gazette:
In view Of the strength which the
movement for territorial governments
is assuming, the conservatives are
taking alarm, and have sent mes
sengers and dispatches into the South
to induce the Legislatures to ratify
the amendment, promising imme-
diate admission. The argument that
the test oath will probably be set
aside is also used; but as the test
oath was considered by all at the last
session as much part of the plan of
restoration as the amendment itself,
If the Supreme Court shall set the
former aside, few in Congress would
feel bound to admit the representa-
tives Of the rebel States, even if all
ratified the amendment. -"

The FINANCIAL PoL1cy OF SEcHE-

THE FINANCIAL PoLICY OF SECRE-
TARY McCULLoCH.-But can he do it
lretnrn to specie payments)? 1t is
doubtful. At the present time Mr..
McCulloch has but five or six hun
dred millions in the Treasury where
with to pay the interest on the
national debt and meet the current
daily expenses Of the Government.
He will then be constrained for many
days, If not many months, to pay in
paper the expenses of the Govern
ment. Besides the representatives OF
the Northern States, Of the North
west and Of Pennsylvania-pro-
tectionist States who have made their
fortune by the emission Of paper
money-will refuse, perhaps, as they
have since 1861, to return to specie
payment. Again. all the capitalists
who have funds in the innumerable
National Banks, established at the
beginning of the war, know that, as
far as they are concerned, ruin would
be the result of return to specie
payments. These banks, in fact,
have no need of specie to carry on
their speculations; for they use but
paper money and yield magnificent
dividends to their managers. Thus,
at Philadelphia one of these banks
has paid Il dividend of twenty-five
per cent, three others twenty per
cent, and others from seventeen to
twelve per cent. twenty-five of
these banks have given annual divi-
dends of thirteen per cent. These
immense results would be impossible
with q return to the old system that
existed before the war, with specie
for base of operations, which then
was not worth a premium of forty-two
per cent, as it is to-day. 1t is this
which leads us to believe that the
specie payment plan announced by
the Secretary Of the Federal Treasury
will for long time to come remain
decreed but not fulfilled.

Is IT A YANKEE TR1cK?-It is given
out-and, until the arrival of Admiral
Goldsboro, will cause no little in
terest-that the fellow arrested at
Alexandria, Egypt, as John H. Sur
ratt, one of the parties implicated in
the assassination of "Honest Old
Abe, is not the right man, and that
his passing himself off for that OBJ
noxious individual was a ruse to get
home free of expense. The story is,
that q Bohemian went to Egypt, cx-
pectlng to pay his expenses by
writing for the press, but that his let
ters could find no paper willing to
pay for what was merely transcript
OF the guide-books; so he ran out of
funds, and was put to his wits ends
to get home. He heard that Surratt
had made his escape from Rome, and
he thought now was his chance. He
gave 1T out, very conidentially, to a
loyal American, that he was the very
identical Surratt, and, in two hours,
he was in the hands Of the United
States consul, put aboard ship of
wal, and is being brought home in
the most agreeable manner, without
expense.

THE TARIFF AND FREE TRADE. =

exempting from tariff duties timber

firewood for steamers navigating the

England manufacturers are anxious
for low rates of duty or for no duty

Mr.. Darling's Special Committee
for the Investigation of frauds in the
Revenue Department has adjourned,
to re~assemble at the Astor House,
New York, after the holidays. De
velopments SO far more than fulfill
the promises of those who instigated
the INVESTIGATION. The Committee has
learned that gigantic frauds have
been practiced in New York, and that
Government officials are implicated
They have discovered that there are
over 5000 small distilleries carried on
in the city, in the cellars and out
houses of private dwell ings, where
whiskey is made for the purpose of
evading the tax of s. per gallon.
Among the witnesses examined we're
several copper-smiths, who testified
that the demand for such vessels as
are used for Illicit distillation in these
private establishments has been I'M
precedentcd during the past year.
Merchants testified that they had
purchased whiskey for S1.7'7, per gal
Ion, or twenty-five cents less than the
Government tax, and the proprietors
of large distilleries told the Committee
that they could not compete with the
smugglers, and had in many instances
to suspend work entirely.

A PLAIN SUGGESTION. Wash
ington correspondent of the New
Orleans Crescent makes the following
suggestion
Let me suggest that it is impera-
lively necessary for the protection of
the material interests of the Southern
States that one of the Congressman
elect from each of those States should
be present here during the session.
The President is entirely at sea in
the matter Of Southern appointments,
and SO expressed himself, in sub,
stance. There is no official recon-
mendation to the numerous applica-
tions for office, from our State parti-
cularly, and serious mistakes are
therefore continually arising. An
other and more important matter
concerns the details of legislation
affecting Southern interests. Many
of the tariff and revenue bills are
drawn up in the departments, and
thousands Of money might be saved
to our planting and other resources,
If somebody was here simply to make
suggestions to the officials in the
framing of the enactments and regu-
lations. The choice might be made
among the members elect from each
State, and some active man stationed
here during every session If this
was found incompatible with the dig
nifty Of the members, q State agent
might be appointed, but my expert
ence leads me to the opinion that a
capable and trustworthy State agent
can rarely be found. Some Of the
Southern States have very good men
of that kind here, but Louisiana
has no official representative here at
all
