News Summary. i-^-.The steamship Quaker City, Captin WEST, ar J^ved here from New York early, yeaierday fore xioon, bringing s heavy freight, including som< fifty horses and mules, and a good passengei list. We are indebted to Purser MCELROY for filei ; of New York papers of Saturday last. '. Governor BROWNLOW, of Tennessee, has receiv i ed a dispatch from Granada, Mississippi, telling him to beware of assassination. It ia said that Secretary MALLORY," now in Fort Lafayette, at the urgent solicitation of BeveraJ physicians, will soon be released ancLallowed to join his family, who ara residing in: Cihnecticut. *?* An order has been issued to quarantine all ves? sels arriving at Texan ports, on account of official notice having been received of the prevalence of the cholera in the West Indies. The National Intelligencer learns that the ex? pediency is seriously discussed in official circles, of allowing the payment of ten per cent, of the duties on imports in "greenbacks," and ninety per cent, in gold. The True SouOierner, a paper published in the interest of the freedmen in Hampton, Va., and the surrounding country, has been removed to Nor? folk, the support given to it not being adelte to |ts further continuance. The Montgomery Mail says that Gen. TOOMBS, .Wh0"to??^i?ft? Witten, ? letter, iii which he if tates that fie hail mot one ef his former slaves in Havan?, and that this negro told him that ho had been inveigled to Cuba, and sold, to a Cuban slave? holder for thirteen Ml&M, *ae bureau" chiefs of the Treasury Department "hire been directed to reduce thoir clerical forco li>y ?Vi? ayr-I^-?- -? *~ ~?K.M?"> -^na-foi ty Werts. ~Tln8wi]f be a retrenchment of Govern? ment expenses at the rate of over five thousand dollars per month. A Washington correspondent of tho Philadelphia -LeSger asserts that Mr. STETUENH' fiual accept? ance of the Georgia Senatorship was in conse? quence of an assurance from high officials in that city that he would be admitted to his seat, and the President is determined to do his boat to se? cure that admission. His case is not an isolated one. It has been ordered that "hereafter,' when au? thorized assessors or collectors of internal reve? nue or direct tax in tho State of Mississippi find it impossible to enforce the laws governing tho ru ve? nue of the United States, owing to the absence of United States Marshals and 'Courts in said State, they will apply to lue hearest military commander for assiatance^who, upon proper requisition set? ting forth the facts, will furnish ail necessary as? sistance fottne enforcement of tho laws." ? The Bennettsville (S. C.) Eastern Journal says that "the prospects in that district, in reference -to the employment of free labor and the crop for this year, are encouraging. The freedmen have . generally made contracts, are demeaning them? selves very creditably, and. working as faithfully j aa could be expecteu. They accept the fact of : ^heit freedom without embracing the idea of its delivering them from the necessity of constant CHU PAK, late President of the See Yup Com? pany of San Francisco, died iu that city a few days ago! Mr. CHU PAK was a very wealthy gentleman .f the Chinese persuasion, and died at the mature age of sixty-nine. His funeral was a splendid affair. Long tables were spread in the streets which were loaded down with sheep, goats, and hogs roasted whole, and decorated with flowers, feathers, &c. Incense was burned, bands played, "jjrayers were said, dirges sung, and tho deceased enjoyed all the honora of a Celestial funeral. The March number* of DeBow's Remero contains several articles of interest by leading popular 'writers. Those by CHARLES GAYARSE, of New Or? leans, and Dr. T, C. NOTT, of Alab.-.ma, give some eurions as well aa novel statements, on the negro question, and on oaths, amnesties and rebellious, fhe'work also contains its usual quantity of sta? tistical Inatter in relation to the commerce and agricultural pursuits of the country. The editor annoQjices^n this number that hereafter bia resi? dency wi}I be. at Nashville, Tenn., which will be the office.of publication for the Southern States. There have been various conflicting estimates . in the Southern journals of the probable cotton supply from the coming crop, varying from 1,000 000 to 2,500,000 bales. The growth of cotton this year d?pends on many contingencies, and in ma? king any .estimate of the probable amount that will be raised, the comparative poverty of tho planters and the scarcity of labor must enter largely into-the calculation. Tho Richmond Whig j says that tho Secretary of tho Treasury estimates ? the average annual supply for 18U5-C and 7, in the j United States, at about 1,500,000 bales; the New j Orleans cotton factors generally agree ia esitima-1 ting the coming crop at 2,000,000 bales; bat tho National Intelligencer publishes a lotter to the j Stecrctary of tho Treasury from a Louisiana plant- S ' er, of twenty-fivo years' experience, who expresses j the belief that scarcely 1,000.000 bales will be raised thia year in thc entire South. At this early 1 period it is extremely difficult to procure any data j from which a reliable estimate ol' thc crop cair bo ; made.

Tho rumor of a change in the Cabinet haa been generally eh cul a ted, and very recently it has been asserted that not only'will Mr. STANTON leave the Department of If ar, but that his successor has actually bee* deter? mined OD. There ia, in reference lo this whole matter, however, a mystery," which the most astute have not. yet been able ?Hy to penetrate. There is reason to b?li Mr. STANTON, Mr. HABLAN, and Mi? are opposed to the policy of the P; and, to some extent, have been aotiva. n teracting it; and why they are hot permitted to resign, or why not removed, is a question whioh no one as yet has been able satisfac? torily to answer. The most probable! suppo sition is that the Radical party desi io them to continue, and that the President ha|reaeon to apprehend, from the present tempe| of the Senate, that, if removed, those appointed to succeed them would not be confirmed* This policy of refusing to confirm appointments by the President, pending the present controver? sy, though not yet acted on, so far as jwe are advised, is clearly indicated; and ios ap? pointees cannot enter on their offices, io long as the Senate is in session, without confirma? tion, it is even supposed that, to continue the rigor of this discipline upon the President, the Senate will not adjourn, and -mil not allow to the Government the services .?f any officer who may not be agreeable to tb#fo. This policy will be especially efficient with respect to the Cabinet. It is understood that those fjfncers hold on until their successors ure confirmed, and, by refusing to'rjonfirru successors, therefore, the Senate can'retain, ts members of the Cabinet, men who may be jersonally and' politically offensive jto the Executive; and, for the reason that they are o offensive, it is probable, in the .present tate of feeling, the Senate will ?oealy the aore especially inclined to exercise that io wer. It is becoming obvious, from our experi no?? that there ?B a necessity fora-less ertifi ial government. There must, of necessity, ie the flexibility to conform to changing cir umstances. The Government must be ablo, eben exigencies arise, to go before the peo ^_u un.*i MWryWpWBOlj? it will not, uffer itself to be ovorruled and defeated by a Congress that does not represent the public entiment of the country. The Executive annot continually act with advisers who do tot concur in its policy. As the Confederacy lecomes a Eepublic, and centralization bo? ornee perfect, the Government must be ad? mitted to the conditions by which this power s to bo exercised. In one form or other, hat central directory, bo it the President, or >e it Congress, must be individual and su ireme; and it is not possible that artificial orms, by which co-ordinate branches of the iovernment may veto and neutralize the ac ions of each other, can be permitted - to con inue. It is possible that that imperial authority nay yet result to Congress; that if we ever .ass the present crisis in our fortunes without i despotism, the Parliament may come to be ere as it is in England, tho paramount au Eiority, and that even the Government must all before a majority of that body. But be jre that Congress can attain to such position f majesty and power, it must be effected by ome condition w,bicu will render it moro cer ainly the exponent ot' public sentiment. To he judgment of a Congress called directly rom the people to tho arbitrament of great pestions, the President might properly bow. 3ut before he can be called upon to bow to Congress, he must be able to regard it as the smbodiment df the public wi??; he must be ibler to coll from the~people the special rep? resentatives of their opinion; and, by some Drocess, this flexibility to public sentiment nust be acquired, or the Government, through ?orne one of its Departments, must break the forms around it, and grasp the sceptre of im? perial power. KENTS. There is, porhaps, no Bubject of more gen aral interest in tho city than the one that ?tinds at the head of this article. To those who own real estate it is important, and still more important, perhaps, to those who do not : and not long since it was a subject of more serious concern to tho people of this city than to those of any other at the South. Much of our real estate had been destroyed more than a thousand houses had been burned-many others had been rendered un? fit for habitation. It was not expected, in the depressed condition of affairs, that any houses would be built, or that all even would be repaired; and, as the buildings in the city were not more than sufficient for tho popula? tion before tho war, and as it was not known to what extent that population had been di? minished, it was naturally supposed that thero would bo a deficiency; and from the solicitude of persons to securo houses, and tho disposi? tions of proprietors to make the most of their Opportunity, at thc beginning of tho season v fi P U ri g ri 01 Sf Cl c< tl P' rn bi ti ti< Qi Pi cc bl if hi it fo th o rents ran up to figures they had never roache' before. It i3 evident, however, that this was th result of much misapprehension. Our popo lation had been much diminished. Many wh< had left the city were without the ability o the inducements to return. Many here wer without the me?hs to pay the rents exacted Many were content with rooms ; many havi been; disappointed in the expectations of busi ness which induced them earlier in the sea son to contract for houses ; and the indication! are, that. by mid-summer rents will be ai much below the average of former times ai they have lately been above it. This is nr,i an occurrence, perhaps, to be desired. Ii does not indicate prosperity, and it is onlj when real estate is profitable to proprietor! that we can expect our burnt districts to be built. We deem it beet, however, to realize the fact. Our town cannot expand upon il? lusions ; we have trust that it will ultimately rise to even more than its former greatness : bat it must start again from humble begin aings, and advance through painstaking pru lenee and patient labor ; and that the foun lations of our prosperity may be solid and mduring, it is best, perhaps, that we should realize the \ ery depths of depression in which hey must be laid. APOLOGETIC. Wo had occasion to speak yesterday of an irticle in our local column expressing a sen iment of disrespect and antipathy for certain jolored troops in the performance of their nilitary duty. We stated, then, that the publ? ication was unauthorized and without our cnowledge, and that the local, reporter, hrough whose inconsideration its appearance iccurred, had personally tendered his regrets o the Brevet Major General Commanding. Chis was done cheerfully. We bod'int?hded io offence to the military authorities; we tad no motive to do so ; we had received rom officers in command a consideration en irely respectful ; and, os we had already andered our regrets to the Commanding leneral even before wo had known that it rould be considered worthy of attention, wo sit no reluctance whatever to disclaim the urpose of offence. That disclaimer was in mded td be full and explicit. But we have jason to apprehend that it was not so re arded, and, regretting that it was not, wc wert again tb the subject, in the hope that ur purpose now, at least, shall be fully and itisfactorily accomplished. We have ac jpted military authority, and we have ac jpted it as frankly as any other feature of ie situation. Tr?g, we do not desire it as a ermanent condition, and we hope the time iay not be distant when that authority ma, 9 safely withdrawn ; but to the officers in ie exercise of this authority it were but jus- ! z9 to otford the merit of being respectful ' the feelings and interests of our people, prsoually we have received from them every insider?!:"11 w0 00uW Jw*?i>ablj ask, We ive no motive for hostility, therefore ; but our reelings of hostility to that authority id been decided, we would have considered entirely unbecoming to exhibit it in the rm of contempt for soldiers in discharge of eir military duty. )XC RESS IN P VRSUIT OF KNO WLElM. E. \ In the House at Washington on Monday : j "Mr. Stevens offered a resolution, which was I looted, requesting thc President to communicate the House information on thc following points: . 3 how many persons, worth more than $20,000 ' .ch, lie lins "issued special pardons, and what are icir names ; how much property, real, personal , id mixed, seized and forfeited a's enemy's prop- i ty, has been taken from thc enemies of tho i Dvernment who claimed to be the original own- i s, ami whether such persons hud been soldiers 1 thc armies of tho so-called Confederate States, had been giving aid and comfort to thc enemy; )w mueli abandoned property that had been ken possession under thu :ict of Congress, and I id been allotted to freedmen and occupied by I icm, has been ordered to be restored to return- 1 g rebels, and tho occupants-the freedmen-dis accd, stating the particular property thus re ored, and by whose order tho same was done." fl < We do not understand that the President is j any way responsible to Congress for bis 1 rercise of the pardoning power. That por on of the resolution/requesting him to state )W many persons worth more than $2(1,000 ich he has granted spacial pardons to, is an j ipertinent insinuation'that he has been more beral than was consistent with sound policy, he insinuation is strengthened by the in- j lines made upon the points following : Southern property holders cannot be law- ! illy dispossessed of their property by a gen ral confiscation law alone. The -law must I e enforced by^udicial action to become ef- ; ictive. It is over all, but operates/?pon none atil the courts render it so by the institution t special proceedings. Congress may direct ederal agents to take possession of abandoned roperty of Confederates, and may make pro ision by which the title will pass to the Tnited States, but the title to the General tovernm?nt can only be perfected by the ae? on of the courts. In some cases large dis ricts Save been assigned to negroes, on no ther authority than the act of Congress and he. order of a military officer. In all such istances the titles of the original owners ave not been affected by the allotment of heir lands to freedmen. Goneral SHERMAN nd Secretary STANTON acted upon this sup losition in assigning for temporary occupancy he Sea Islands to the freedmen. The power invested by the Constitution in he President to grant pardons necessarily in ludes the power to remit penalties. Confis ation of property was a penalty attached to ebellioD. The confiscation act cannot como n conflict with the pardoning power, because ho laltor must bo superior. Thc penalty of ho law is remitted to all to whom pardon is Tauted. And so perforce of the act pro vi d Lg for the taking possession of abandoned iroperty by thc United States. The Govern ncnt may havo had possession of the prop irly, and some of i ts officers may have located ? tegroea on it, but the fee did not pass to thc j negroes in consequence, and the President not cnly had full authority to order its return to original owners whom he had pardoned, but he was hound, by every principle of honor and consistency, to make such an order. While he would be entirely justified in treating the resolution as impertinent, we doubt not that he will overlook the offensive form in which it is drawn-alleging miscon? duct on his part while pretending merely to seek information-and answer the inquiries frankly and fully. Should he do so, we shall Bee whether the Radicals have gained any? thing in the passage of the resolution. WANTS. TTTANTED, A PACKER.
