It is Btatodthat a member of tho Tennessee Legislature, who is not satisfied with his pay, has added a trifle to his income by becoming a waiter in a Nashville restaurant. The Alabama Legislature, by adjourning over for the holidays, put the peoplo of Alabama to an expense of $28.000 for what is termed a "frolic," and their courso is bitterly condemned by thc papers in view of the poverty prevailing in Ala? bama. Tho Daily Telegraph, of Montreal, 3nys that there has beon so far almost a completo failure of justice in the Fenian trials at Sweotsburg, that tue pro? ceedings have been eminently suitable to Sweets burg, and ono now recognizos tho wisdom of the trials being transferred to that locality. General BUTLEB'S New York "apple speech" was extensively copied in the French press. La France made an editorial reference to its translation, Baying : "We publish General BUTLER'S address, with the omission of such words as would offend the French ear." Mr. CHARLES READE has commenced a libel Buit against the proprietors of the Round Table for the articles which he so severely stigmatizes in his #<Prurient Pride" letter. The complaint, drawn by his counsel, Mr. BOOTH, reoites the alleged libols. Hfrasks $20,000 damages for his injuries.

An attempt was made Sunday night to destroy the south bound regular passenger train on tho Nashville and Decatur Railroad, at Spring Hill, by arranging the switch so as to throw the train off the track. The locomotive and tender, and the baggage and express cars were overturned. Tho psssenger cars remained on the rails. The engi? neer was thrown some distance, but not injured. The other employees saved themselves by jumping off. No one was hurt. Tho product of tho Nova Scotia gold mines for the past five years has been as follows : 1862, 7000 ounces; 1863, 11,000; 1864, 18,000; 1865, 24,000; 1866, 24,000. The yield per man employed was: 1863, 95ceiitBper dav ; 1864, $1.39 ; 1865, $2.13 ; part of 1866, $2.45. At Sherbrooke, in tho month of September, 864 ouno3s were obtained, making $8 per day for each minor. At other places the sue cess was much less^but on the whole tho minos are paying.1 An ingenious French arithmetician has calcu. lated that tho. space which a young Parisian belle, Tfho is fond of the exercises of dancing, traverses in the gay saloons of Paris amounts, in tho courso of one dancing season, to four hundred and thirty four miles and a half. Ho has also estimated that a French lady, fond of performing the fwntions of a teetotum, would spin round in a waltz in ono night aa manv times as tho wheels of a stoamboat revolve while running tho distance between Dov-r and Calais. The sale of tho famous STEELE farm in Venango county, Pennsylvania, recently, for a government debt of $11,000, is ono of the most striking in stances of tho reverses of fortune that has occur? red in man/ years. In 1864 this farm, when left to Jon W. STEELE, was returning an income of $2000 per vy, and in the safo kept by Mi's. MOCLINTOOK, whr ft him the property, was $10,000 in gold and $100. 10 in greenbacks. STEELE and SLOOOM ' (STEELE'S partner) were famous names in the oil region-while their money lasted. Tho Macon (Ga.). Telegraph says: "Dp foist January, 1860, Forsyth shipped from the Macon and Western Railroad depot to that pince, 7348 halos. cotiorjL Of .th,e product of that year. This yeajr phj^m?ntt?,' actual and. established, up to lst"next January, will not vary ten baloB from 2460, which shows a little loss than a third of tho pro? duct of 1860. ; The sarao proportion would make the product of Georgia 170,000 bales, or therea? bouts, and of the whole South about 1,400,000. But we think Monroe has done bettor than an average. The talk among tho planters of the county is, that but for tho drought they would have made half of a crop; but we prosume this would havo been don ? at a sacrifice of corn, which will not again bo thought of in future agricultural operations." The New (Moans Times would have tho people of Louisiana diacountonance croakers, mako tho best of the present, and look forward hopefully to the future. Among other arguments and illustra? tions, it cites some facts in relation to tho sugar culturo, as follows: "1. That the crop of this year will roach fifty thousand hogsheads. 2. That the crop of last year was sixteen thousand hogsheads. 3. That if the crop of this year amounts to fifty thousand, only extraordinary obstacles will pre? vent a production of one hundred thousand noxt year; and that in this ratio, tho old ante-bellum crop of four hundred and fifty thousand hoge heads will bo restored in three years.

JONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 81,1866. IEE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT' Ponderous bodies move slowly. ThiB is strikingly the oase with the tribunal above named. It is quite otherwise with its co-ordi? nate branch in the Government, Congress is emphatically a fast body, and gets through a most unconscionable amount of legislation. They have long since ceased to stop and reflect whether or not any Bill under consideration can stand the constitutional test. The Execu? tive veto proved no barrier; this faint, opposi? tion being more considered in the light of a stimulus to "override" said veto. They ap? pear to have altogether forgotten that there is a third arm of the Government, empowered to decide between thc Executive and tho Congres? sional view of the Constitution, lt is only within ho last few days some of these new laws, in? volving constitutional questions,, linv ^?-?e bc brc thc Supreme Court. indecisions being i<minst Confirm"3! a,u' "ie Parlv represented ,y /lie- dominant majority in both Houses, a me and cry is at once set up for a reconstituc? i?n of the Supreme Court. The New York Jerald comes out in a violent, onslaught on this Jourt, and counsels Congress lo dismiss the ld Judges, and get new ones who shall ap- . irove the Acts of Congress. But there is a lifficulty herc. Such reconstruction can only ie effected by another amendment to the Constitution. That instrument declares (Art. ;, Sec. 1) that "the Judges, both of the Su ireme and Inferior Courts, shall hold their fliccs during good behavior." The Supreme Court is, therefore, independent of Congress, nd will so remain till the people see tit to mend the Constitution for the purpose of de troying tho independence of the Judiciary, /hieb, we incline to think will not happen very oon. In the meantime, says the Transcript, here is a powerful hook in thc nose of the Congressional Leviathan, and the territorializ ng of the Southern Slates is a matter about krhich more than one department of tbeGovern aent will have something to say. That our readers may know who these Judges .re, we give their names, and the date of their >ppointmcnt.

We published, a few days ago, the Act in re ation to this subject, just passed by our Gene? ral Assembly, and, in commenting upon il, re? marked that the importance of this subject is aol as generally felt among our people as it should be. They have been so long wedded to African labor that, notwithstanding the chang? ed relation of the negro to the planter, they arc dow to perceive the necessity of providing for i gradual supply of new labor, in the event of he growing uselessness or extinction of the )ld. Strange as it may seem, there are some )f our citizens still averse to the introduction af the foreigner, and, we aro told, General WACKNEK'S Bill met. with considerable opposi? tion in the Legislature. It was for the benefit of these gentlemen wo remarked that climate, 3oil, mineral and other resources, of them? selves do not confer wealth upon a State, but that population was the first and most im? portant factor in tho pursuit of such a result. Thc "Act," as passed, falls very far short of what it Bho?ld have been,-by its restrictions aearly defeating its object. Still, as we said before, it is a beginning, a step in the right lirection, and as stich to be commended. As pertaining to this subject, we copy the following well-conceived artiole from thc Balti? more Transcript, of Thursday, on ?KH.MA'N IMMIGRANTS, Every word pf wfcioh we heartily endorse: The South, in looking abroad for immigrants, ianmalf find amore thrifty and. industriouspooplo lirfntho Germans. 1 We have only to look at w hat S?rman labor has accomplished in tho West, to ap? preciate the value to all tho groat material interests if a State of such a population. We have, indeed, >nly to look at German character and history to jiipreea na with, the importance of such an acquisi? tion. There is not on the fnco of tho earth a moro ntolligont and laborious raco; not one which ia noro steady, pains-taking, and economical. We lo not reler to the great achievements of Germany nthe heroical, political and literary enterprises of ifo, for the?e aro not to tho present purpose. Evory American who has visited Germany is dcep y impressed with the stability of character, the lopth of energy, and the fervid, aflectionato? hos? pitable nature of tho German people While no '.aco of mankind ie moro plodding, more patient, md thrift-', none is moro dovotea to social enjoy? ment, and there aro few whope festivities are so i? nocont, so amiable, so unselfish. The introduction of orernian emigrants to tho South will be hailed with satisfaction by thoso who know how to appre? ciate tho productive energies, tho sterling quali? ties, and tho attractive traits of German character. Wo can assure tho Germans that thoy can find nowhere in tho Western world a moro congenial home than m tho ?South. Its fertility of aoil, its richness and variety of resourced, its salubrity of climate, render it tho garden spot of tho American Continent. It haB lofty mountains teeming with mineral treasures, plains rivalling tho richness of Lombardy, noblo rivors intersecting a largo por? tion of tho territory, and harbors unsurpassed on the North Amorican Continent, lt presents to tho emigrants, especially in this latitude, tho advan? tage of being within a day's sail or rido of all tho great controa of American trado, and of aa easy communication with his own native country. ;it has tho additional inducement of an old society, with churches, schools, and regular, fiimplo habit's of Ufo, lilio thoso of tho German fatherland.

MWPmiKts . ?cv,' days figo nc pubiislisd ita our " ijiew? Summary" column the report that tho above named gentleman is about to Wiiite a ?'History of thc War between the States ;" since then we Eave had private advices confirming this re? port. Such a book, we feel assured, will be well received by both Northern and Southern readers. Mr. STEPHENS, all things considered, is perhaps of all men the one be?t qualified to write a fair and impartial history of eur late struggle. It is well known that he was not an "original secessionist"-no fire-eater. Hav? ing occupied a very exalted position in the Confederacy, he had the fullest opportunities of making himself acquainted with every part of its history ; much material being at his com? mand which others are debarred pf. Mr. STEPHENS cannot he considered as having been identified with any particular party during, the progress of the war. Owing, we believe, prin? cipally to his ill health, he lived in a very secluded manner during a great part of the war, and thus is in a better position io present a dispassionate picture of thc events that transpired around bira. Of Mr, STEPHENS' abilities as ii thinker, writer, orator or statesman, wc need not speak herc, ?is these are well known to all our read? er,?. We shall look forward with interest to I lie publication of this volume. The National Publishing Company of Itichmou'1 11 ? are to ac! as sponsors. a mwiMiiiiMin IM mw ilmiiw lin 11-i RE- OR G A NIZA TION OF THE FRENCH ARMY. Our readers have, from time to time, been informed, through our telegraphic dispatches, of a great, change now in progress of execution in the organization of the French army. For a better understanding of this important topic, we propose to give them a synopsig, prepared from late numberB of La Patric and other Bources. The late war in Germany doubtless must bc looked upon as the immediate cause of this re? form. Prussia had long enjoyed a great repu? tation for the excellence of her military system ; but the world at. large was satisfied to make this general acknowledgment, just as the supe? riority of thc Prussian system of common schools is conceded. The military prowess of Prussia had to bc demonstrated in a short, brilliant and decisive campaign, such ' as wc Baw last Hummer, before her neighbors began to see the importance of taking example of their formidable rival, to look within and set their own houses in order. ?jy; This influence has been felt in the war otlice of every cnpRal in Europe, but was entered upon more promptly, and with more energy in Franco than by any other power. This mny mean something more than merely to have a large number of well-drilled battalions with breech-loading arms. Were it not that the In? dustrial Exhibition precludes all ideas of a European war during thc next twelve months, wc might very reasonably have anticipated lively work on the banks of the Khiue and tho blue Moselle. The following comparative statistics will prove interesting in this connection: Tho population of Franco, in 180ft was ostima j_T., 1 . . i mi??? tr . . , "v ? effective force of the army, on a peaco footing, was fixed at 400,000, while on the war footing it would amount to 757,727 men. Prussia, in 180G, had a population of 19,000,000, or just about one-half of the population of France. In timo of peaca its standing anny was 208,518, about ono-haif of the French army, and therefore in tho saino propor? tion to thc total population; but whenever it Bhould boconie necessary to put the army on a war foot? ing, Prussia could, within a few weeks, bring into the field a thoroughly disciplined army of 609,000 men, or, if the reserve troops were added, of 714,000 men; thus equaling Prance in tho number of her soldiers, notwithstanding the double num? ber of inhabitants in the latter country. In consequence of the war, 10,000,000 of other Germans aro to form, with Prussia, the North German Confederation. The most important ob? ject Prussia had in view in estabhshing this Con? federation was the incorporation of tho minor States with that of Prussia. This point haB boen secured even before tho meeting of ibo North Gorman Parliament, and PrusBa, as t military power, represents, . therefore, a population of 29,000,000 of men. She is straining ovay nerve to complete tho introduction of her entire military system into tho minor States. This bring accom? plished, Prussia would have on the Pace footing an army of over 300,000, and, in thnoof war, an ofi'cctivo force of moro than 1,000,000, men. No one, moreover, doubts that tho Soutu German States, which have a popidation of 8,00i,C00, must very sooii drift into a union with tbj Northern Confederation, and in case of a foroigi war, they would ovon now bo almost sure to go hind-in-hand with Northern Germany. Their annexltiou won'd raise tho . Prussian army to the graid total of 1,800,000. Such being the formidable a?itide of her Eastern neighbor, ' it, was natural Hat France should feel anxious for her fronier. The Military Commission was charged with the task of devising measures for chaiging this relative disproportion. The repot of thc Commission has not, yet been punished, lt has been rumored that they desigod raising i the army '. \o 1,200,000 men, but hat the dis? content with; tins measure was suoliamang all classes of the population, that it aad to be abandoned. La Patric, however, st il maintains j that this is thc outline.of the plan. There will 1 be a permanent-standing army of 40,000 men, and a contingent force of,,800,000 hie bodied men, well drilled, and all belongings a period of life when the physical qualit'esaave their ; highest degree of development. The duration of military service wll thus be increased to ten years; ii larger ?umber of j able bodied men will be withdrawn from the productive industry of the country. The cost of this increased army will be vry much heavier on thc tax payer. No womer, there? fore, that, (he "reorganization" is ot well re? ceived by the people at large. Tho New York Times proceeds to coapound its prescription for tho South, and th?s observes : "Tho lesson is not a pleasant ono, we dmit; it is as nauseous as medicino to a quorulouwhild; but tho South must learn it Boonor or later.'
