WASHINGTON.

Washington, Jan. s.-By the burn
ing of the postal car on the Baltimore
& Potomac Railroad last night, very
important packages and letters from
the executive departments were
burned, also between three and four
hundred thousand dollars in new
national bank notes.
The President is represented as not
in the least averse to sending to Con-
gress all the information in his possess
sion in regard to southern affairs, but,
on the contrary, regarding il as i'm
portant that the country should re-
ceive full information of the facts on
which he has acted, and the instruc-
tions which has been given the mill
tary officers. The President will send
a large mass of documents from varI-
Gus official sources in the South,
setting forth the very grave condition
OF affairs, 1t will probably be accom-
panied with a special message. The
President says that his sole purpose is
to preserve peace until Congress shall
declare its policy in regard to the chief
questions in dispute.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day, all
the official dispatches and orders per-
tanning to the instructions to Sherman
for his guidance in New Orleans, were
read. The official dispatches from
Sheridan were also received. The Adj
ministration is now awaiting official
information of the events prior to
Sheridan's taking command of the
department, before to decide definitely
upon report to Congress.
In the House, Butler, of Massachu-
sets, introduced a bill to provide for
legal and fair election in Louisiana.
Referred to the judiciary committee.
1t directs the election to be held on
the 4th Tuesday in May next, for
Governor, Lieut.. Governor, Secretary
of State, Attorney General, Auditor,
Superintendent of Public instruction
and members of the legislature. The
President to appoint three super
intendents of election, who are to
appoint two State registers-one each
of the political parties to procure
a new and complete registration the
State registers to appoint two super
visors of registration un-one Of each
party in each parish-and these to
appoint in the same manner, two
commissioners of election for each
election precinct. Provision is made
for declaring the result of the election
and for assembling the legislature
and Inauguration of the State officers.
The United States Circuit Court of
Louisiana TO have exclusive jurisdic-
tion Of the crimes and offences made
punishable by the act. The Presi-
dent is authorized to employ the
army and navy to maintain public
peace and enforce the act, and any
act of the State officers of Louisiana
or the State court, interfering with
its execution, TO be treated absolutely
null and void.

LOUISIANA.

New Orleans, Jan. 8, 1875. Gen'l
Sheridan to-day telegraphed Gen.
BelkUap: that many prominent
persons here have for the past few
days been passing resolutions and
getting up sentimental protests for
northern political consumption; they
seem to be trying to make martyrs of
themselves. 1t cannot be done at
this late day. There have been too
many bleeding negroes and ostracized
white citizens for their statements to
be believed by fair-minded people.
Bishop Wilmer protests against my
telegram of 4th inst, forgetting that
onSaturday last he testified under oath
before the Congressional Committee
that the condition of affairs was sub
stantially as bad as reported by me.
l shall soon send statement of the
number of murders committed in the
State during the last three or four
years, and the perpetrators Of which
are still unpunished. l think the

up in the thousands. The city is per-
fectly quiet; no trouble is appre-
hended.n
He also telegraphs to the Secretary /:
q" L shall send you this evening a
report of the affairs as they actually
occurred here ON the 4lh inst. My
kilograms to you of the'4th, 9th and
9th are so truthful picture of the
condition OF affairs in this section, and
strike so near the water line that
ministers of the gospel and Others are
appealed to. to keep the ship from
sinking. Human life has been held
too cheaply in this State for many
years"
Wilt, Speaker; Trevesant, Clerk,
and sixty-two members of the first
organized House of Representatives,
have prepared and semitic Congress a
statement of the occurrence OF the 4th
January.

News Summary,

Congressman Schumaker came to
the front yesterday to disclose what
he knew about the subsidy steal. Is
a lawyer was employed by Stockwell,
Pacific Mail Company and Irwin rs
such in 'Tl-T2-73; and as such counsel
received check for S275, 900 in confiden-
tial relations. Ten thousand dollars
of this was for professional services.
Took check to Brooklyn Trust Co.
Bank, got it converted into smaller
checks, and used as directed by his
clients. Fell back on his rights rs an
attorney, and refused to disclose the
use made OF the checks and money
unless permitted to do so by his client.
Would be hanged first-or what is as
bad, would leave Congress before he
would violate his professional honor.
Didn't corrupta any Congressman how
ever. The committee have not got
through with Shumaker yet.
Irwin is sick and in prison, and his
doctors are cndeavoring to certify him
out, rs there is no telling what may
happen to his health if he remains
there.
Congressman Parsons told the COM
mittee on ways and meaas yesterday
in a sworn statement that lie was
employed openly in ~ as an attorney
for the Pacific Mail Company. Openly
aided and assisted in the passage of
the subsidy bill. Received S12, 900 in
all from Stockwell-a legal fee of SlO,-
900 and $1,000 for travelling expenses.
Knew of no member cf Congress who
was corrupted directly or indirectly.

That this will benefit MS Is very evil

ever that our prosperity is dependent
entirely upon the terminus OF this
road being continued here. 1t will de-
pend upon the nerve and sagacity of

tension. Ii Is very certain that we are
In no position to rest upon our oars, or

From the state Gazette, March u, 1870
THE INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENT.

Now that this veXed question of
state policy has received its final prac-
teal solution, and disappears for all
time from Texas politics, it is not inn
proper to examine critically the terms
and effects of the settlement made, and
to lay the true figures before the people
Of the state. The friends of the bill
thus passed into law, need assume no
apologize tone in discussing its wis
dom or fear the popular verdict upon
their work. 1t IL well known TO all
men that the very settlement effected,
was voted down at the outset peremp-
torily at the instance of the company,
VINO refused to accept IL as u settle
meiit, and that II never consented to
accept 1t, until 1t was driven to it by
the veto OF the governor. Coming to
geher In January, 1874, the fourteenth
Legislature found u claim inpxistenee
against the state, on the part of the
International Railway company, the
payment of which would have cost
the payers of Texas, IN n,oney taken
from their pockets, the round sum of
twenty-three millions, two hundred
and nlnety-six thousand dollars. A
settlement was attempted during It's
first session, but owing to the action of
the supreme court, was not perfected.
Upon the assembling of the second
session Of the fourteenthlegislatur the
company came forward and offered a
settlement with the state, upon a basis
which would involve direct outlay of
money by the taxpayers TO the amount
OF eleven millions, one hundred thous-
and dollars, and all additional bonus of
four thousand sections of land of the
estimated value oftwo hundred dollars
per section, amounting in all to about
twelve millions OF dollars The settle
ment just effected by the legislature
does not involve the payment Of cent
In taxes By any taxpayer In this broad
state, nor the payment of a dollar BY
the state. The public debt is Lot in-
creased, nor are the public burthens,
and yet the company IL satisfied and
will proceed to construct It's road at
once from Jefferson to the Rio Grande.
Certainly, this contamination must be
most favorable one for the people of
the state, unless, as Is charged by some,
the state has given the company much
