ARREST, ESCAPE, AND RECAPTURE OF a
FUGlTlvE.- short time since DR.. Charles
Calbis, of Boston, was robbed of some
thirty-fve hundred dollars, and suspicion
rested upon q negro man named William
II. Cheeseman, from the neighborhood of
Yorktown, Va, who had taken up his resi-
dence in Boston after the close of the war.
After the robbery he disappeared, and it
was suspected that he had again made his
way to Virginia. A sergeant Of police was
dispatched in search Of him, and succeeded
in finding him at the house of his mother,
in little place called Shutdown, just be-
yond the suburbs of Yorktown. He took
him into custody, and went ito Fortress Mon
roe, where he took passage in the
Norfolk boat on Friday evening for
this city, en- route to Boston. The boat
reached her wharf on Saturday morning,
when Cheeseman deliberately walked
ashore and made his escape. The Boston
sergeant did not give himself much trouble
about the escape, but showed a photograph
to some of the police of this city, and left
q warrant for his arrest at the office of the
chief of detectives. On Saturday after
noon policeman Durkee, of the Eastern
district, who had seen the photograph,
espied Cheeseman standing at the corner Of
Pratt and Caroline streets, and reiirrested
him. He was taken to the Eastern police
station, where he confessed that he was
concerned in the robbery, but stated that
he got only 5000 of the stolen money. He
was taken to the marshal'S office, and
thence returned to the Eastern police sta
ton, where he is held to await a requiSi-
tion from the Governor of Massachusetts

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, January 20.-General
Seawell, who travelled from Holly Springs,
Miss, to New Orleans, and thence to
Vicksburg via Baton Rouge, reports to the
Bureau that there is an unsettled state of
affairs in that district, and there is no tell
ing what the result may be. Great desti-
tuition exists, but no starvation. The
planters are without means, and compare
lively few plantations will be worked this
year. More attention will be paid to
cereals.
Few contracts have yet been made with
the freedmen, and there is no organized
plan on the part of the planters to govern
the freedmen's wages. A limited amount
of rations will be required in the river
counties of Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Arkansas, but there is little cause for ap-
prehension in the interior counties. Many
of the Bureau agents (citizens) are
worthless.
Albert S. Guadley has been nominated
to the Senate for General Appraiser Of
Merchandise for the South.
The Secretary of the Treasury sent
communication to the Senate to-day sta
ting that after the Court of Claims denied
an appeal to the Supreme Court in the
cases of the cotton claims, he ascertained
as far as possible the nett amount due on
judgments obtained in the Court of Claims
and paid them.
Chief Justice Chase was sick to-day and
not on the bench, causing much disappoint.
ment at the delay of the McCardle case.
Consul Wheat reports, December goth
that starvation was general in and around
Tunis, and that one hundred and nine per-
sons had died in one day. The greatest
number who had died in one day was one
hundred and forty-two. The Christians.
numbering about 10000, are very poor,
and are aided by the Jews, who number
10000.
The trial of Surratt is set for February

MASONIC INITIATION OF THREE DwARFs.
On Thursday evening scene was wit
messed in German Pilgrim Lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons Of this city the like
of which had not occurred in the annals of
that craft, which claims to be now in the
five thousand eight hundred and sixty
eighth year of its existence. This was
nothing less than the initiation into the
mysteries of the craft of the three dwarfs
now performing at the Stadt Theatre, in
the Bowery, whose theatrical names are
announced as Jean Petit, aged thirty
three, Bohemian Jean Picolo, aged
thirty-two, an Austrian; and Kis Josesi,
Hungarian; all Of whom received the de-
gree Of Entered Apprentice. There was
some difficulty in getting the consent of
the Lodge to confer Masonic honors on
these men, who are merely visitors TO this
country for professional purposes. There
is resolution Of the Grand Lodge which
prohibits the initiation of any person who
is nonresident, and who has not been
twelve months in the country, without the
consent of the Masonic jurisdiction from
whence he halls. These men have been
but six months in the United States, but
the objection was finally overcome.-Neoo

WASHINGTON, January 10, 1868.
Unless the American people have utterly
lost all regard for their constitutional
rights and all love Of liberty they must
.1nddy resist the encroachments now in the
process OF contamination by few leaders
who control Congress. The Executive
power, so far as its exercise by constitu-
tional agencies.is concerned, has been an
initiated. The regular army is at the dis
posal Of secretary and commander,
thrust into power without even pretence
Of legal authority-a mere soldier-and
hardly that's to be unquestionably made
autocrat Of the country-and the judicial
branch Of the Government is to be swept
away.
have heard from several sources to-day
that some senators have expressed hesi-
fancy in going the lengths required by
their party. They tremble when called
upon to lay violent hands upon the Su-
preme Court. But have no faith what
ever that their sense of duty or regard for
their oaths will weigh q feather when
counterpoised by their interests and ambi-
ton. Not one of the Infamous acts having
tendency to subvcrt the Government but
was diSapproved by sufficient number in
either House Of Congress to defeat it..
But they were all passed by strict party
votes. So it will be again. Such is the
inevitable course Of revolutions. When
the first reconstruction bill came before
the Senate heard Senator Sherman de-
clare that he would never consent, when
enfranchising the negroes, to deprive q
single ,chite man Of a cote, and yet the very
next day, upon flimsy excuse, he voted
to disfranchise $4,000. Robespicrre would
gladly have put an end to the work of the
guillotine long before his own head fell
into the basket, but 1t oons utterly out O his
porer. II acaS beyond lis courage.
The private room of Judge Bingham has
hcen crowded all day with weakened
Republicans begging him to accept this or
| that amendment, and not to rush the party
upon political annihilation. The author of
the new bill, however, only shook his am
brosial locks and answered, sternly,
"No," as after consultation among the
faithful it was determined to vote down all
amendments and pass the bill as it came
from the committee. The conspirators,
however, are by no means sanguine of sue
cess in the Senate, and yet the country need
not |" look to the Senate" after the vote
of that body on the resolution restoring
Edwin NJ. Stanton to the War Department.
The action of the Virginia Negro Con-
venton in tabling the resolution Of thanks
to the United States Senate for restoring
| Stanton to the War Office was the subject
of conversation this afternoon at Stan
toms residence, when the restored Minister
of War attributed the failure of the reso-
luton to General Ben. Buffers late visit
to Richmond, saying "the people had not
recovered from the disgust felt at the pre-
sence of Butler among them"

CLOSE OF THE SOUTHERN RELIEF ENTER

| CLOSE OF THE SOUTHERN RELIEF ENTER
TAINMENTs IN BALTIM0RE.-Thel ladies o.
the Southern Relief Association have
achieved another great triumph, the Sc.
ries Of entertainments given during the
past week at the Maryland Institute and
the tableaux at the Concordia Opera House
having been eminently successful, and viii
doubtless yield quite handsome sum ir
aid of the fund for the relief of southern
widows and orphans. The scene presented
at the Maryland Institute on Saturday
was of most animated and pleasing de.
scription, and those who were 80 fortunate
as to be present will long remember it
Hundreds of little children, male and fe.
male, thronged the hall, bringing with
them their offerings in aid of the suffering
little ones Of the South. The treasured
riches Of childhood, in the varied shapes Of
trinkets, toys, dolls, &c., &c., were freely
parted with for division among the less
fortunate little ones of the South, but in
many instances also the children's offerings
were of more substantial characterize
receipts in money alone from the juveniles
amounting to over $500.
During the afternoon Captain John
Mitchell and Lieutenant George V.Metzel
appeared in the hall, and handed over $l0s
as a contribution of portion of the police
force of the Middle District. They also
presented at the same time forty mine
yards of muslin, thirty-one yards Of calico,
one shawl, one pair Of drawers, and two
pairs of shoes, property which had remain
ed at the station-house for some time, and
for which there was no owner. Later in
the afternoon Captain Kennedy, of the
eastern police district, presented the As
ISOLATION with $l02 as contribution of q
portion of the men under his command.
Mr.. B. Berry, of the China Tea Company,
No. rs east Baltimore street, who, on the
opening of the entertainment, offered to
contribute the profits of his sales of tea
and coffee during the last four days Of the
week, handed in $500 as the result of his
kindly offer. This gentleman also fur
nished number of the tables with coffee
and tea during the week without charge.
On Friday afternoon lady, apparently a
stranger in the city, as she was entirely
unknown to any of tho ladies in the lunch
room, partook spariugly Of refreshments at
one of the tables, and On leaving handed
the treasurer fifty-dollar greenback, and
refused any change.
Many instances are related of gentlemen
paying five and ten dollars for dinner, and
declining to take change. On the whole.
| the entertainments were q decided sue
cess, and have doubtless resulted in real.
izing handsome amount toward the noble
charity of relieving the pressing wants Of
the widows and orphans Of the South

GRANT AND STANToN.-There is reason
10 expect that Mr.. Stanton may resign IN
few days. General Grant was again with
him tonight, and unqualiliedly expressed
lis opinion that Mr.. Stanton should resign,
and General Sherman yesterday earnestly
advised the same course. Meantime Mr..
Stanton is reduced to the merest clerkship
in the War Department. The President
will not permit any order to be sent from
that Department except in strict accord
ance with law, which, being literally fol-
lowed, will prevent any order issuing from
tie Secretary Of War as heretofore, and
compel everything Of that character to be
issued by direction Of the President. &C.
neral Grant will only recognize orders
from the dent.-Data, in Sun.
