The Secretary of the Treasury was called

during the war and their cost.
Considerable time was devoted 10 Consul

The Senate refused TO recede from the
cotton tax. Mr.. Wade appointed Messrs.
Sherman, Conklin and Morrill, committee
for conference.
The Senate refused to recede from the
amendment to Authorization bill. A
committee of conference was appointed.
The consideration Of the case of Senator

Among the bills introduced was one to

to the bankrupt law; to pay officers, musi-
clans and soldiers for horses lost during
the war, and several regarding immunities
of American citizens abroad.
The consideration of the reconstruction

A COOP CHANCE.

A negro in the Arkansas Convention
said the other day, "Give us the chance
of eighteen hundred years like the white
man, and We will show what We can do. u
Upon which the Louisville Journal oh
serves
"But the negroes have had the chance
not only of eighteen hundred years, hut all
the years since Noah's flood. They have
had that chance in their own country
where God planted them. In Africa they
have been unmolested by the white race,
except 20 far as a few of their tribes upon
the coast have been able, after taking pris-
oners from each other, 90 find market for
them with white traders instead Of putting
them to death. Let that Wanting Arkan-
sas negro point TO Africa for eXemplidcN-
tions of what his race can do, not only in
eighteen hundred years, but 10 great
many additional centuries"

RepOrf of Gen. seaweII. etc.

Gen. Grant has gone to Richmond.
Gen. Seawell, who travelled from Hatly
Springs to New Orleans, thence to Vicks-
burg via Batcn Rouge, reports to the
Freedmen's Bureau the unsettled state Of
affairs. There is no telling what the result
may be. Great restitution exists, but no
starvation. The planters are without
means, and comparatively few plantations
are being worked this year, with compare
lively more attention to the cereals. Few
contracts have, as yet, been made with
the freedmen, and there are no organized
plan ON the part of planters governing the
freedmen's wages. A limited amount of
rations will be required in the river coun-
try of Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkan-
sas, vet there is little cause for apprehen-
sion. In a word, the General reports many
bureau agents, and the citizens as worth-
less. He suggests in a card the selection
of Alfred Kent, as postmaster at Gonzales,
Texas; VIM. Hefener, postmaster at
Shreveport, Louisiana, and dominates Al
bert Griddley as general appraiser of
merchandise for the South.
Thd Secretary of the Treasury sent a
communication to the Senate regarding
cotton claims. It appears that the Court
of Claims denied an appeal to the Supreme
Court, and that the Secretary, after ascer-
taing as nearly as possible the amount due
on the Judgment of the Court of Claims,
paid them.
The Chief Justice was not on the bench
to. day on account of sickness, causing much
disappointment and delaying the McCardle
decisions.
Consul Heass reports to the State De-
partment, December 20, the general starva-
ton in and around Tunis. A few days be
fore nineteen persons died in one day in
Tunis. The greatest number in one day
was 142. The Christians, numbering ten
thousand, are very poor, and are aided by
the Jews, who number twenty thousand.
The trial of Surratt is set for the Oath Of

HI0H.HAsDED ROBBERY.

From the Jackson tIennj Wing. Jan Is.
We understand that very bold and
successful robbery was perpetrated in the
village of Gadsden, in this county, on
Monday night last.
Three men, partially disguised, knocked
at the counting~reom Of Matthews q Hunt,
after their clerk, young Mr.. Boykin, had
retired, and he supposing il was some
friend, unlocked the door and the light
fingered gentry entered, and in response to
q polite request to be seated, drew reyolvers
and presented them at Boykiu, and de-
manded that he remain silent; they then
deliberately and securely pinioned his
arms by ropes and covered him up in
bed, and then proceeded to break open the
safe, which they succeeded in doing, and
distracted therefrom some $500 in cash
$1,000 of which wac special deposit IN
gold, belonging to our old friend Maj. Ed.
Matthews. They then decamped, and left
young Boykin bound, and no trace Of
identity of the robbers thus far hiss been
found

The Ohio Radical Congressmen are much
exercised over the report that the Legisla-
ture of that State will re-district il 30 as to
secure a fair representation. Some Of these
Radicals talk Of passing bill in Congress
to prevent the change, but it is all talk.
The House Committee on Retrench-
ments has finished its consideration of the
report Of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, giving the reasons why the
scheme known rs the Gettysburg Asylum
for Invalid Soldiers was exempted from
payment Of special tax, and in the course OF
the present week Gen. VanWyck will
make report, giving a history of the
scheme, and concluding with resolution
requesting the Commissioner to revoke the
permit so that taxes aud license can becol-
iected from said association the same as il
no permit had ever been granted.
Strong efforts are being made TO prevent
the contraction Of the power Of the Freed
mems Bureau in Tennessee and Kentucky,
as is designed in circular letter of Maj
Gen. Howard, and approved by General
Grant, Secretary Of War dd interim. 1t is
Represented 10 the Department that me-
cessity exists for retaining the officers Of
the Bcreau in those States, instead Of COM
hitting its affairs TO the administration OF
army officers exclusively. The Tennessee
Congressional delegation have called on
Secretary Stanton, having in view the same
object, and he will at once consider the
subject.
The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Republican says in his letter OF
the 18th instant "lhe absence of all Of
fetal action by the President in relationio
the reinstatement OF Secretary Stanton,
has left the sO-called imbroglio without
any new facts, or even specnlations. IL If
learned tonight, from the President HIM
self. that he issued no order or proclama-
ton, and that he does not propose to dc
ANYTHING of the kind. II may, therefore,
be advisedly and safely asserted that Mr.
Stanton will continue 10 act in his full ca
paciiy az Secretary of War until his sue
cessor is nominated and confirmed by the
| Senate. This ia inevitably the result Of
| the much talked Of controversy"
A Washington telegram of the 18th inst
says: There is no longer any doubt as &c
| Grants views Of the new reconstruction
bill. Representative Orth, of Indiana
said to him last night, in the presence o
a large company at the Speakers recep
ton, that the House would put the bill
through right away. Grant Immediately
replied that he sincerely hoped not tina
he saw no necessity for it, and he should
be very sorry to see il passed. A very
prominent Republican, in speaking of th'
new bill to-day, said that if it passed thu
House by strong enough majority to show
the sense of that body shere would perhap
be no necessity for its passage in the Senate
The inference from his language was tina
the real object ia introducing the measure
was TO stimulate the President in the exc
cution of the existing reconstruction laws

THE WAY To CHECK THEM.

In an article reviewing the deplorable
political and financial condition of the
country, the New York Herald concludes
as follows:
Under such fearful state of things the
national finances must remain disorgan~
lied, taxation oppressive and the public
credit shaken. Business of all kinds must
feel the paralyzing effect. Capital will
take alarm and enterprise will cease. In
fact, the prospect before us is truly alarm-
ing il the Radical party in power continue
their destructive course and the people do
not rise mp az one man in their might to
check this tide of Jacobinism. Unhappily,
these Radicals will be in power for some
time to come, as they boast of being, to
defy public opinion, and they may do
vast deal Of evil before another general
election takes place. To hold them in
check, then, the people everywhere should
rise and denounce their condnct. In all
the cities and towns-yes, even in every
little village-there should be public meet.
ings for this purpose. The country is in a
terrible crisis, and the universal voice Of
the nation should be raised TO save the
constitution and government from the
saerilegious hands that now threaten to
DESTROY both.
