New YORK, Feb. 26.-The Tribune's
special says The Judiciary committee
investigation of the matter of the return
to rebels Of coafiscated property, shows
that in Louisiana alone property valued
at $500, 900, 900 had been returned to the
rebels by order of the President. All
our Generals have frequently decided
that the property belonged to the Gov
ernmeat as much an any could. The
facts connected with the recovery by
the rebels of all this kind of property,
in all the States of the South, will star.
tie the public. They cannot only be
shown from the record of the bureau

Minority Report On the Mnrder OF
Union ssldiers-Genernl Grant and
the Reconstruction BiII-No Gem.
uromise-The InyestiRatiou Report

promise huVestt&htiou "epoFt
New YORK, Feb. 26.-The Times spe-
cial saws: Edward Cooper, of the select
committee to inquire into the murder
of Union soldiers in South Carolina, has
submitted q minority report, in which
he admits the soldiers were unquestion-
ably deliberately murdered, bur claims
that il is not proved beyond reasonable
doubt that the discharged prisoners
were guilty of the crime. He then pro-
ceeds at length to sustain the official ac-
ton which finally eliminated in the re-
lease of the prisoners under the habeas
corpus. He also disagrees with the
committee rs to the necessity for mill
tary rule in the South to maintain good
order.
The Tribune's special says: Genera.
Grant has expressed himself to Senator
Wilson and the Secretary Of War
Is warmly in favor of the reconstruc-
ton bill. Contrary reports are I'M
founded.
The report of the committee called by
the resolution offered by Mr.. Went
worth, as to an attempted compromise
between certain republican members
and the President, will show nothing
improper on the part Of the Congress
men concerned.
Senator Sherman will call up the
loan bill at the first opportunity, and
move that the Senate insist on their
scheme OF 3 per cent. certificates, in
stead OF sloo,OOO,G00 of g~reenbaeks, as
provided In the House proposition
Considerable debate is expected.
The Congressional investigation re-
port is nearly ready. The bonded
warehouse business displays the great.
est irregularities found. Efforts were
made To have some leniency shown Col
lecter Smythe, but the committee were
inexorible.
W. A. Dart, removed last Fall from
the position of United States District
Attorney for the Northern District OF
New York, has been reinstated by the
Attorney General.
The Worlds special says: The Presi-
dent has offered the Vienna mission to
Postmaster General Randall.

An inquest was held on the body Of
Mr.. Westmoreland, and a verdict OF
murder rendered as iln
Captain Martin had not been on speak
ing terms with Mr.. Westmoreland on
account of personal difficulty which
had estranged them two months age,
growing out Of duel
1t seems that Mr.. Westmoreland had
challenged the captain, who accepted,
but owing 10 the Interference of friends,
the affair was settled. The seconds on
each side had been appointed-Amelia

Of the non-arrival of the boat afforded

B&r A fashionable young lady of Nil
waukee, who was ambitious to shine as
the belle of her circle, nearly fell vie
tim to her vanity last week. She had
heard that arsenic was a beautifer, and,
resolving to become an arsenic-eater, she
procured a supply Of the poisonous drug.
Not knowing the quantity that could be
safely taken, however, she used too much
for the 6rst dose, and her friends were
alarmed BY supposed attempt at sui
eide, until the victim, in 90 interval from
violent sickness, was enabled 70 give an
explanation. A fatal result was averted
By the skilful attentions Of the phya-
clans, and the patient is in fair way Of
recovery. Young ladies who are deter
mined to add 70 the charms which nature
has bestowed on them, should beware Of
poisons, and trust only TO natures cos
me,ics Of air and exercise and pure va
ter. By these, and the harmonious
euhivaGon Of their faculties, they viii
acquire a beasiy more lasting and
attractive than can be Obtt'ued BY any
other means

ReA- The New York Herald says; No
sooner has Juarez regained his capital
than he finds that he has to fight q coun'
ter revolution which does not look as II
it could be easily put down. Lozadar
Montenegro and Olfara, three partisan
leaders of more or less ability, have
placed themselves at the head OF some
twelve thousand men in the North and
issued pronunciamento declaring them
selves in favor of 9 separate and indie
pendent republic Marquee is in the
mountains, trying to join them, and as
he has q good deal of stolen specie with
him he may succeed and be enabled to
give them substantial aid. Thus we see
that the execution of Maximilian, which
was to give strength and unity to the
republic, is already dividing and weak
ening it. His blood has sown the sol
with dragons teeth, and a plentiful
harvest Of misery may be expected tc
result from it.

An exchange says Mr., Hall, though

chile pen as editor of different newspa-
pors up to the last five years. He held
various important positions under differ
ent administrations, and in 1852 was ap-
pointed Minister to Bolivia, where he
has been ever since until his death
Though bitter partisan, he was strictly

H6S- When the submarine cable be-
tween Florida and Havana is laid--an
event which will take place before the
close of this month-the Queen Of Spain
will be in telegraphic communication
with her loving subjects on the lever
faithful isle of Cuba This will be a
great advantage to Spain in case of
insurrectionary movements among the
Cubans, or ia case Of warlike operations
against the Spanish West Indies from
any quarter. The advantage that Eng
land would obtain in getting telegraphic
communication with her West Indian
possessions will, doubtless, secure con-
nection between Jamaica and Florida at
an early day.
