VICTOR Hooo declined an offer of $100,000, made by the Solitl of Paris, for his "Les Travailleurs: de la tier,' having an insuperable objection to publishing a work of art in detached pieces.

Dispatches from San Francisco record that the shock of an earthquake more severo than any experienced since the memorable one of last October was felt on the 25th instant on the Pacific coast Oilroy is thc only town from which damage ls reported. One of the greatest projects'of the age, in thc wsy of engineering, ls a marine railway around Niagara Falls. The company propose to construct caissons or docks, capable of floating the largost vessels on the Lakes. The grade to be overcome, in the distance of eight miles, is about three hundred and forty feet, and the whole cost about $7.000,000. There are now eleven vacant Cardinal's hats, and it is reported that six of them will be placed on the heads of the following Prelates at the June Consistory ; Monsig? nors MATTXUCCI, ex-Governor of Rome; IIOHENLOHE, the Pope's almoner; CRIOI, Papal Nuncio at Paris, where he wiU tx succeeded by Mon signore FRANCHI ; MANNISO, Archbishop of Westminster; LYNCH, Bishop of Charleston, and a Mexican Prelate. The Augusta Daily Press Bays: "A lad of some four, teen years of sge, the son of Mrs. GALLAGHER, was klUed by a negro boy, on Friday afternoon last. Young GAL? LAGHER was getting a puppy from under his house to give to the negro boy, who had a loaded pistol in his hand at the time, threatening to shoot another negro, probably in play, when the pistol went off, the ball striking the deceased in the head, killing him almost in. stantly." A man named DAVIS was sent, some time since, from Zenia, Ohio, to Cincinnati, by a national bank of the former place, with funds to buy for them $16,000 worth of bonds. On his return he announced that tho whole amount had been stolen lrom bim. The incredulous bxnk directors set a detective on him, who f jUowed him to Independence, Mo., and succeeded in getting nearly all the BOM y from him. The alleged principal in the groat bond robbery o' $1,600,000 from thc Office of Mr. R. G. Loan has been apprehended, and there is a strong probability of tho stolen property being recovered. Information reached jpnltf d S'ate? Marshal Mumu Y a few days since that the persons Implicated in the affair were about to leave for Boston. They were watched and followed, and tho sup? posed principal in thia mammoth theft vas captured on bis arrival at Newburyport, Mass. The rewards offered for the arrest of the thieves and recovery of the properly amount to nearly a quarter of a million of dollars. A spirited race took place at New Market Course, Va., on Thursday, and much leter, st was manifested by the large crowd who were present. The running wa- good, and the betting lively.

A safe placed Inside, weighing tight tons and throwirrg twenty bolts, contains tho cash and securities.

In discussing tte point whether or not the late Presi? dent LINCOLN ever contemplated th<? evacuation of Fort Sumter, the Herold of the 28th ult. says: "Tho evidence is principally devoted to a question of voracity between BALDWIN on the one sido, and LEWIS and BOTTS on the other, ae to whether President LINCOLN did or did not submit to Mr. BALDWIN, as a messenger from the said Secession Convention, sent for by the President, a pro? position that if said Convention, without dipping into secession, would adjourn tine die.

CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL 3, 18C6. GEN. LEE "PUT TO TUE QUESTION." The Inquisition at Washington, known as the Committee on Reconstruction, having plenary pow er "to send for persons and papers," have Bradly patronized General LEE. They sent for tho groat ex-rebel-drawing him from hie peaceful seclusion in ?he mountaius of Virginia-to put him through a course of Reconstruction Cateohism. We have never had the pleasure of seeing any of the dis tiDguished gentlemen, over which Senator How AKD presides, but we have very frequently seen the illustrious catechumen, and can well conceive the calm dignity that Bat upon his noble brow, and the expression of surprise, pictured in those deep, truthful eyes, at the tenor of some of the questions put to him. We can conceive, moreover, that Senator HOWARD and big fourteen learned assessors, not unfrequently must have felt rather sheepish in the course of thia catechizing ; and sometimes again, the whole farce must have been so apparent, even to themselves, that we are sure they must have experienced no little difficulty to maintain sufficient gravity to play their role. They of course knew perfectly well, beforehand, what would be the tenor of General LEE'S replies; and these replies not being to their liking, they seemed to take pleasure in puttiDg perplexing home questions to him. They were not restrained by motives of delicacy. Why should they ? Had they not power "tosend for persons and papers V" The Reporters do not tell us how the veteran sol? dier behaved under this inquisitorial infliction ; we feel assured, however, he did not tremble in tho august presence, but acquitted himself, as he has often done on moro trying occasions. Many of tho questions are commonplace, trivial and puerile. He was asked about the "loyaUy" of the "secessionists;" whether these late rebels would vote for a repudiation of the United States debt; whether they would not also like to pay thc "so-called" Confederate debt; how Virginians feel towards freedmen; whether negroes havo any special capacity for mathematics and the exact sciences [rather a hard question for our old Gen? eral, and he very modestly told his interrogators that he did not know]. They asked him about the domestic, social and economic habits of the frcedmau, and tho reasons therefor. What would the "secessionists1' do in case of a war between tho United States and some foreign power or powers? Are the poor whites of Virginia more fond of work-now than they were formerly? Can Northern capitaliste and laborers come to Virgin? ia and go to work there? We do not deem it necessary to lay tho answers to these questions before our readers. General LEE is a fair representative of the South; every Southern man, therefore, can readily answer these questions for himself, and on comparison he will find that his ideas on loyalty and reconstruction perfectly coincide with those of General LEE. But before we close our brief notice of this lengthy document, we will give one or two specimens of Mr. HOWARD'S crucial questions : "Is there not a general dislike of Northern men among Secessionists ?" A. I suppose they would prefer not to associate with them; I do not know that they would select them as associates. "Do they avoid and ostracize them socially?" A. They might avoid them; they would not select them as associates unless there was some reason; I do not know that they would associate with them until they became acquainted; I think it probable they would not admit them into their social circles. "Suppose a jury was impanneled in your own neighborhood, taken by lot, would it be possible to convict, for instance, Jefferson Davis, for hav? ing levied war upon the United States, ?nd thus having committed the crime of treason ?" A. I think it is very probable that they would not con? sider he had committed treason. "Suppose tho jury should be clearly and plainly instructed by the Court that such an act of war upon the part of Mr. Davis, or any other leading man, constituted in itself the crime of treasou under the Constitution of the United States, would tho jury be likely to heed that instruction, and, if the facti wero plainly in proof before them, convict the offender ?" A. I do not know, sir, what they would do on that question. As this Committee has examined a great many very prejudiced witnosses on the state of loyalty in tho South, and the fitness and capacity of tho late rebels for a return into the bosom of the Union, we are glad that the "other sido" has had a bearing also, and that General LUE was enabled to record his testimony on the leading topics in controversy. We sincerely hope, though we scarcely expect, that thc quiet dignity, and calm, gentleman-liko candor of General LEE'S replies may exercise a salutary influence oh his interroga? tors, and on the Northern people at large. Aud, in conclusion, wo would again assure them that General LEE'S oyir?ons are those of every Southern gentleman. -. - GREELEY'S. The paternity of Senator STEWARTS proposition, tint universal amnesty shall bc offert d thc .South in exchange for universal suffrage, really be longs to Mr. GREELEY, who brought forward precise'? the samo thing iu the Tribune a year ago. It is not much to be wonderod at that Mr. SIMSKP of? fered a French embrace to the Senator from Ne? vada, on hearing a plan of this character from his lips. It is a peor thing for anybody to father, aud finds its natural place among the multitude of singular little bantlings of GKEELF.Y. TUE FUEEPMEN OF TEXAS.
