WASHINGTON, July 6, 1866.


GENERAL ORDERS, No. A.-Department, district, ana
post commanders in the States lately IN Rebellion are
hereby directed arrest al persons who have been or
may hereafter be charged with the commission OF crimes
and O1enses against officers, agents. citizens, ana III
habtants of the United States, irrespective Of color In
cases where the civil authorities have failed neglected.
or are unable and bring such persons 10 rla
and to detain them military confinement until suoh
time as a proper judicial tribunal may be ready ana
willing to try them.
In my OPINION the great number OF murders OF Union
and freedmen in Texas, not only as rule unpuh-
ished but uninyestgated, constitute practically state
OF nsurrection and. believing IL 10 he the province ana
duty OF every good Government to afford protection 10
the lives liberties, and property Of her citizens would
recommend the declaration of martial law IN Texas 10
secure these ends The necessity for governing any pOr-
on Of our territory by martial law Is 20 be deplored IL
res0rted to, IL should be limited IN its authority, and
should leave all local authorities and civil tribunals free
and unObsructed until they prove their Detcency or
/ uuwingness to perform their duties. Martial law
would give security, comparatively So to all classes
OF citizens, without regard 10 race colOr. or pOhuca
! opinions, and should be continued until society wa.
capable OF protecting itse until the State Is returned
10 its fun relation with the Union. The application OF
martial law OF these States would be warning Ia

The WORKING PEoPLB.-In Boston the
pias'erers are on strike In consequence OF ths
employers reducing the wages hfty cents q
week, and trying to break up the apprentice
sy stem, which allowed three boys TO each shop.
ne employers now contend for taking rs many
as they think III, regardless Of the rules Of the
trade. THIS innovation has called forth great
opposition on the part of kindred societies.
The New York plasterers have sent them $500
to enable them TO sustain the contest; Philadel-
phia, $40; Brooklyn, $500; and Portland, Me-,
Size. The bottomers in the boot and shoe man
ufsctories of Troy. have been on . strike for
hie her wages several days, but as yet the pro-
prietors evince no disposition to yield. At .
meeting of the house carpenters Of Williams
burg, NY, held on Wednesday evening, IL
was unanimously resolved that they demand
the four o'clock on Saturday system, on and
after April lst- and that on and after: the first
Monday Of the same month they demand
1915 per day for ten hours as a days work.
The Secretary OF the Plasterers' Trade Union,
of Philadelphla. states the object of the Union
and the wages Of the craft in that city as fol.
lows:-..Our object is to bring back iato the
Union all who are not members in good stand
ing as well as those who are not mem bers, SO
that there may be more fair and honorable
competition between our employers, some Of
whom are paying four dollars per day, while
others are paying from two to three-and-a.
half. All Union men get four dollars per day.
but those outside the Union, with few excep-
tions, do not receive 50 much. The Union has
not the least idea Tin building mp the Union) to
make preparations for a further demand for
higher wages" In BROOKLYN, New York it
was announced at a recent meeting of the Pro-
tsctive House Painters Society, that the aver
age wages OF the men at present was three dol
lars day: In Troy there is q strike among
portion Of the shoemakers employed in that
city for higher wages. No result 10 yet an
nounced. 1t is reported from Scotland that on
account Of the great depression in the mining
and iron trade, number of miners in the Dun
fermline district have left for America.

CONFLICTING TESTIMONY.-The suggestion
is made that the future Bancroft will be con.
sIderably bothered 70 write an impartial his
tory oftbe great impeachment trial if he seeks
his materials from the conflicting reports of
Washington correspondents For instance.
one correspondent states that Gen Butler ..vvas
eagerly listened TO, and at many portions of il
his audience hung upon his words in rapt AZ
tention. His gestures We're effective and good.
his personal appearance that of the dignified
gentieEani his argument close, and TO the
point; and but re-echo the general ex preston
even Of his opponents and the opponents of
Impeachment when say that il was one of the
best Efforts ever put forth in the United States
even in the palmiest days of the oratory of the
Republic"
Another correspondent says, on the other
hand: The speech is spoken Of even by the
admirers of Mr.. Butler, as an excessively dulI
and feeble effort, far short Of the great expecta
tons placed upon it. Mr.. Butler read the for
midable document, which covered thirty EIGHT
pr nted pages, in tone and gesture which
would rather suggest mimicry than sober
earnest. Mr.. Buffers voice is the straneest
ever mortal speaker saluted the public ear
with. II resembles in its intonatons the com.
bined and various noises of a cracked barrel
organ and chorus of bull terriers in n street
fght-now sharp and snappish, and again
wheezy and rasping.'
Yet another correspondent saws :-.when he
began that portion bearing on the New Or.
leans riots, he ground it out between his teeth
like the screening Of a hundred saws, COM
mingled with rumbIing Of an artillery carriage
across a rugged pavement" While a third
states that that the speech was systematic in
method, coherent in treatment, and broad and
dignified in argument"

TEE SENATE AND THE CHIEF JUsrIcE.-The
Senate yesterday, after a three hours consulta-
ton, decided to modify the 9TH rule. This rule
stood originally as follows:
{" The presiding oficer of the Senate shall d.
Chsmber and shs P prspidinS oficer '1 upon the
trial shall direct all the forms Of proceeding
while the Senate are sitting for the purpose of
trying an impeachment and all forms during
the trial not otherwise specially provided for.
The presiding officer may, in the first instance,
submit TO the Senate, without a division, all
questions of evidence and incidental questions,
but the same shall, on the demand Of one-ffth
of the members present, be decided by yeas and
nays"
The rule as modified reads thus:
"The presiding officer of the Senate shall d.
rect all necessary Preparations In the Senate
Chamber, and the presiding officer upon the
trial shall direct all the forms of proceeding
while the Senate are sitting for the purpose OF
trying an impeachment and all forms during
the trial not otherwise specially provided for
and the presiding officer on the trial may rule
all questions of evidence and incidental oues-
tons, which ruling shall stand as the Judgment
OF The Senate unless some member of the San
ate shall ask that formal vote be taken there
on. In which case IL shall be submitted TO the
Senate for decision, or he may at his option, in
the first instance, submit any such question TO
q vote of the Senate"
There is some disposition to look upon this
action of the Senate in a partisan light, and to
claim that ii is'a defeat for one side and VIC
tory for the ether. 1t can hardly, however, be
made TO bear that construction. 1t gives to the
Chief Justice the power to rule all questions
of evidence and incidental questions, but re-
serves to the Senate the right TO override his
decisions. Its effect will be to shorten the trial
by avoiding the delay OF a vote upon the thou
sand and one questions likely to come up for
decision IN the course of the trial. Otherwise
it shows a eommendable disposition on the
part of the Senate to treat the Chief Justice
with the consideration due his position and
standing
