Thc late Confederate General "WILLIAM PUERTOS writes a letter saying he will accept tho Demo? cratic nomina' ion for Governor of Kentucky. Fears are expressed for the safety of the United States steamer Besare, which left New York some time a.^o for San Francisco, and has not been heard from or soon since. Her machinery was new. representative PIKE'S special committee to in quiro into the facts attending the murder of Union soldiers i:i South Carolina, left Washington for this city yesterday to investigate the subject. The Common Council of New York city have re? ceded from their former action, and have voted to sch a portion of. the City Hall Park for $300,000, to he used a3 a site for a Government postoffice. A safe belonging to tho United States Express Comp-.iny was robbed of $62,500 near Lexington. Mo., a few days since, it is supposed hy bush? whackers. BENJAMEN HABTFOBD, an old citizen of Enfield, N. H., the inventor of friction matches,_dicd at that town last week, from the effects of injuries re? ceived from the kick of a colt. Three white mon were killed, and several whites and negroes wounded, in a riot at Portsmouth, Virginia-, on Friday. Four buildings were burned also. A schooner of thirty tons has recently been launchod on Salt Lake. It is designed for the transportation of wood and salt, and in the sum? mer season for a pleasure boat. The receipts of the New Orleans Custom-house during the first week of the present month were $201,619.26-the largest amount received in one week since the Custom-house was established there. An attempt will be made by the New Orleans officials to prove, before the Congressional Investi? gating Committee, that General SHERIDAN is re? sponsible for not punishing the leaders in the riots of July last. E. M. BBUCE, of Kentucky, died in New York, Saturday, of heart disease. He espoused the causejof the South in the late war, and was at one time a Representative from Kentucky in the Con? federate Congress. "We regret to learn, says the Nashville Union, that the health of tho Hon. JOHN BELL is quite feeble. During last week he was considered in a critical condition by his medical attendants, but at latest accounts was slowly recovering from his attach.; < It is rumored that it is contemplated to estab? lish in Washington an official gazette, - which-wiH contain exclusively all the Government announce? ments and advertisements, and thus avoid the squabble among the "Washington newspapers in re? gard tp official advertising. Mr. TATLOB, of Tennessee, having become dis? satisfied with the manner in which the Special Committee on the New Orleans riots proposes to conduct the investigation, resigned as member of that committee on the 14th inst., and Mr. HI BAM MCCULLOUGH, of Maryland, was appointed in his place. A petition fifty-two feet long, containing the names of nearly all the prominent citizens of New Mexico, has been forwarded to Washington, pray? ing for an increased military force in that territo? ry, as being absolutely necessary to protect the Uves and property of the people agaiust the In? dians, who aro plundering and murdering with im? punity. The pilots of the New York pilot boat J. B. Jones have challenged any pilot boat in tho world, or any vessel in thc New York Yacht Club, of the same tonnage, for fifty thousand dollars, the race to be between New York and Cowes. They will also accept a challenge from any pilot boat in the world of a foreign nation, and will go on their waters. Thc will of the late ELIZABETH H?GE, of Phila? delphia, contains the following behests: $5000 to the Trustees of tho General Assembly of the Pres? byterian Church in the United States for the usc of such disabled minist?re and their families aa the Trustees may designate; also $3000 to the Board of Domestic Missions connected with the same Church. Senator ROBEBTS, of Texas, addrcssel a letter to his constituents on the 14th inst., a vising that tho people exercise their highest virtues in main? taining law and order, and show themselves worthy of a better fate than now seems to await them. He says to them : "Bo hopeful and push forward industrial purs;iits, develop the country and try to mend j-our own fortunes." At the October election the aggregate vote poll? ed in Pennsylvania for Governor was 507,370, and at the Governor's election in New York, in Novem? ber, 718,84.1 votes were polled. This shows th ; aggregate voting population of the two greatest States in the Union to be 1,316,211; and as one person out of every seven or eight of the entire population is a voter, it is evident that these two States now contain, nearly 10,000,000 inhabitants. ; There is a constant succession of reports of frauds and swindles of every possible description, from all parts of the country. Smuggling, defalca? tions, rcveuuo frauds, illicit distillation of spirits, and violations and evasions of the laws in every conceivable way, are now the burden of most of the news columns of a daily journal. As the Philadelphia Ledger remarks, either we are now in a condition of extraordinary wickedness, or else the concealed villanios of a long period have all been suddenly uncovered to tbe light of day. We leam from the Houston Telegraph tbat a con? vention of colored people was recently held at Bas trop; Texas, .uhich was very large. The procession was nearly a mile long, conducted with good order, with the a'ssistance and sympathy of their white friends, and the action taken was of the most commendable character. They declared that the Southern people wore their true friends, and that tillage of tho soil, and not politics, was their busi? ness. Hon. GEO. W. JONES, Lieutenant-Govemor of the State, addressed thom, aa did some of their own color. The whole affair was significant, hope? ful and commendable. If the negroes were let alone with tboir old friends to he^p thom they would do well. Their relations to the whites would .bo amicable, and a system of labor would soon be organized which would redound to tho good of all partios. .S2.0.00 . 5.00 ?.50 5 cents .3 cents S35~ AH. communications intended for publication in this journal rnzisl be addressed to the Editor of Ute Daily Neics.

Germany that j have entered into a league with Prussia have j been asked to appoint plenipotentiary delegates to ? Conference that is to dra^v up a Constitution, j to be laid before Parliament. This Conference is to be under thc direction of thc Prussian Premier, who, it is now said, is not able him I self to attend to these severe duties, and will be represented by DE SAVIGNY, the late Am I bassador of Prussia at Frankfort. After these preliminaries have been agreed upon, the for I mal opening of thc new Reichstag is to take place on the first of February next. All Gcr 1 many is looking forward with the greatest anx? iety-mingled hope and fear-to the transac? tions of this body, inasmuch as thc success or failure of thc bold policy of BISMARCK is to be determined by the result of these parliamen? tary proceedings. It is not to be concealed that there is a very large party in Germany, as much opposed now to thc policy of Prussia as they were a year ago, when BISMARCK shut up the Prussian Chambers and turned the Deputies out of doors.'' Thc pomp and [circumstance of war, the facti? tious glory of a successful military campaign, cannot, blind them to the true interests of the people. In their eyes the King of Prussia and his Minister President, the Count OTTO VON BISMARCK, still represent the Junkerthum, thc feudal, reactionary, ultramontane party-op? posed to the first principles, almost, of civil liberty, as this term was formerly understood in the United States, when "the Constitution of our Fathers" was still the supreme law of the land. That Prussia defeated Austria unquestion? ably reflects credit on the arms of the former country; but when it is considered that the bel? ligerents were of one blood, one nation, one kindred, and one tongue, that they had garri? soned the same forts, side by side, during fifty years of peace, and only two years ago fought . shoulder to shoulder against a foreign foe-we may perhaps think that, in the end, when view? ed in regard to their true bearing on the in? terests of Germany, these victories were too ! dear bought. Wooden statues and cypress arches would be more appropriate than bronze or marble, or laurel wreaths. A great Prussia is not necessarily a great Germany, especially when this Prussian great? ness is largely based upon its military estab? lishment. We have already seen in the recent Prussian circular to the Confederate States, that their armies are to bc entirely under the control of the King of Prussia, and the ap? pointment of every commissioned officer must be ratified hy the said King WILLIAM. This, of course, at once wipes out all those North German States, and to all intents and purposes makes them as much part of Prussia as Frank? fort or Hanover, which have been formally an? nexed. Nevertheless, Prussia is a constitu? tional monarchy, so-called; and Germany is to have a Parliament, and the King of Prussia's j Ministers will have a Constitution all ready for ' the people's representatives, who are thus sav? ed the trouble of laboriously and painfully working out one for themselves. The delegates will have nothing to do but sign their nantes. They had best not propose any constitutional amendments. King WILLIAM has no fondness for practical jokes. We find it difficult to map out the work for this new Parliament, seeing there is so much already done for them, hut seriously and ear? nestly hope that some good may come from their deliberations, and that the peace and prosperi? ty of that noble people may he promoted thereby. A great many rumors haye been set afloat of late in regard to BISMARCK. His nervous sys? tem is known to he much shattered. Some have a different explanation of his malady, and will have it that he is suffering from the conscious? ness of having missed his aim, largely due to the counteracting influences he met with on part of the Court. He has on several occasions asked for his dismission, hut the King cannot yet spare him, and has therefore induced him to withdraw his resignation. But his health is such that a change will soon become absolutely necessary, and DE SAVIGNY is looked upon, as his most probable successor. BISMARCK, it is understood, is in favor of the early unification of Germany. ??e has repeat- j cdly urged his views upon the King, hut has j failed to prevail upon him to change his exclu sive Prussian standpoint, and approve a policy I which would give a more German coloring to j Prussian politics. The King appears not quite | equal to the situation. He is evidently afraid that in becoming the head of Germany, he will ! lose his Prussian identity, if not some of the I material rewards of his late victories. The I States of South Germany hav.T . made overtures j to Prussia to join the North G?rman Conf?de- S racy, hut have always been repulsed. Baden I has been specially desirous of such an alliance. ! The truth is, these Southern German States, j without having been deprived of their sover- j cignty, have - lost nearly their entire political existence. They are of no importance them? selves, nor do they any longer, as heretofore, constitute an important part of a great nation. In proof, we need only mention that the Am? bassadors at Munich, English and French, have recently received instructions from their respective Governments to close their offices, and the said embassies have been discontinued. The people are dissatisfied. Th >y must ally themselves with some large neighboring power. The choice needs must lie between Austria and Prussia. Tho fortunes of the former monarchy within the past six months have not been such as to make it probable, that any independent power will now seek her alliance and protec? tion. The prestige and affinities all point to Prussia, she unquestionably being the present representative of thc great ideal, Germany, ol' windi wc have heard so much, and willoi* ?vc hope ere long to see: The new North German Confederation is, in point of population, the fifth State of Europe, being only exceeded by Russia, which in its European dominions has a population of 01, 000,000; by France, with 07,472,732 inhabit? ants ; Austria, with 02,572,000: and Great Britain, with 20,021,071?. But of its four su? periors in point of population, Austria and Great Britain have even now less influence in councils of European politics than Prussia: and while they remain stationary, and arc dis? turbed by violent agitation and even fears of disintegration, Prussia is irresistibly pressing forward. Uer army is so powerful that it bas even compelled thc Government of France to attempt an entire reorganization of its military force, at thc risk of creating a general discon? tent of the people. Unless overpowered by grand combinations of other European powers, Germany is now sure to advance, with a fair prospect of becoming soon, next to Russin, the leading power in Continental Europe. Tun Congressional prayer meetings arc an? nounced to take place every Thursday evening. The Washington Republican hopes the honor? able Senators and Representatives who attend will devote some attention lo a venerable for? mula commonly called "The Lord's Prayer,'' where God is invoked to forgive "as we forgive those who trespass against, us." If it would not be obtrusive, thc Republican would like to recommend to half a dozen Radical Senators and Representatives whom it could name, thc propriety of committing that excellent prayer j to memory. It will bc likely lo assist them to get the rudiments sf Christian statesmanship j into their heads. Congress-TUc South and. thc Constitutional | Amendment. The majority of our people South thought, and j had reason to do so, that the more prominent j Radicals in Congress-and they are the ruling members of that body-did not deairo us to ac? cept tho Constitutional Amondment-that they wanted something more. Our people thought, therefore, that there was no reason to behove that, if they did accept the Amendment, they would get representation in Congress. Merely as a matter of information-and wo trust we w?l not be again accused of recommending the Amendment merely because we publish news-we publish extracts upon this subject from late speeches of prom'nent Senators. In a discussion with Mr. STTMNEB, Mr. WADE said: Let me say that I should consider myself bound by the Constitutional Amendment, if the Southern States complied with it within a reasonable time, and that reasonable time, in my judgment, is near? ly elapsed. By a reasonable time I meari as soon as their Legislatures can consider it. If they adopt tho Constitutional Amendment, and comply with the terms prescribed by the Beconstruction Com? mittee and adopted by Congress, I should feel bound to vote for their admission. I voted for the Constitutional Amendment on that hypothesis. Mr. WADE said again : When the Committee on Reconstruction, at tho last session, brought in their last proposition to amend the Constitution, and to provide for the readmission of the secedod States, the labors of that Committee, I supposed, had been directed to the inquiry upon what conditions we should per? mit those States to come back into the Union. I supposed it was for that purpose the Committee was raised.' I supposed they had directed all their inquiries to that subject, and that they had settled down upon amendments to tho Constitution, which were to be submitted to the seceded States, and upon being adopted and complied with by them ui good faith, and being ratified by three I fourths of all the States, would entitle them to re I presentation in the two Houses. I supposed it was on that very condition that we sought to permit them to como back. It would seem to be an inconsistency to say that, if classes of people were excluded from the "ballot-box, they should net be entitled to be counted in tho basis of representation-that is, that political power should be based upon voters-if we did not mean to leave it in tho power of the States to exclude some class cf people from the ballot-box. Yet again, by way of explanation and warning: I cannot understand it in any other way than that when three-fourths of the States ratified thit Amendment, and made it a part and parcel of the Constitution of tho United States, the Southern States would then be in such a condition that they might apply here, and, all other things being equal, they would be admitted. Of course, they must send loyal men: they must send men who can take the oath; but all these conditions being complied with, they should be received. If we did not moan that, I^do not know what we did mean. Why provide for what should happen on tho ex? clusion of a certain class from the ballot-box, if we did not intond to allow them to be excluded under any circumstances ? I will say in this connection as we have begun to define our positions hore, that I think that .pro? position was perfectly fair, temperate, judicious, moderate beyond what tho world had ever seen be? fore under such circumstances, and if the Southern people throw it back defiantly in our teeth, and will not comply with it, I am willing to say here that I am for putting them under tho strong arm of military power, and ruling theni in that way, if it be necessary, so that they shall make BO disturb? ance in this Government. If they will take thc t ' rms we offer in a reasonable time, I am bound to stand up to my agreement. The position assumed by Mr. WADE is unreserv? edly shared by his colleague. Mi*. SHERMAN. Al? luding to SUMNER'S denial of the sufficiency of the amendment, SHEHMAN said : We mads a proposition to tho Southern States at the last session of Congress. It was made after the gravost and fullest consideration probably that any measuro ever received from any Congross of the United States. No legislative act of Congress since tho foundation of this Government was sur? rounded with more difficult questions than the one we acted upon at the last session. After long de? bate, after considering all the propositions that wero made on either side, the Congress of the United States made to the people of the Southern States a deliberate proposition. We submitted to them Constitutional Amendments. It seems to me that no one can avoid the irresitiblc logic that if they accepted those Amendments vo were bound to carry thom out. I know I voted fi. . hose Amendments with that understanding. I felt that I would be bound by that action. I felt that, if they accepted thoso Amendments, they were States in the Union, entitled to Senators and Representa? tives, precisely liko the State of Massachusetts and the State of Ohio. 1 did not droam that there was any doubt about the matter. And, sir, Jet me s&y to you that if the Southern people had accepted, or if they do accept, tho Constitutional Amendments, those States aro just as certain to be represented here by Senators and members as the Stato of Ohio or tho State of Massachusetts. I know that my friend from Massachusetts, and perhaps some other Senators, were dissatisfied with tho Constitutional Amendments. They did not meet their expectations; they did not impose the terms and conditions that they hoped to im? pose on the Southern people; they did not proba? bly meet their sense of duty; but still the people of the United States have feit themselves bound by those terms; and, if the Southern people wotdd now accept them, the people of the United Statea wo. ld hail their acceptance as the most joyful event sinco the surrender of Lee's army. The Republicans of Boston have "gone back" on the colored members of their party, and as a con? sequence, the negroes have treated them in the same way. The Republican leaders, it is said, promised the blacks representation in tho city government, but the nominating caucuses threw them overboard without scruple or conscience. Hence the wrath, of the colored men, and their at [ tempted retaliation at the polls.-Hartford Cou ! rant li the colored men are competent to take part in ' the government, as the Republicans contend, why should they treat them in this manner?
