Cook, of Illinois, reported from the Judiciary Committee a Bill amending: that portion of the law approved February 24,1864, which authorized the Secretary of War to appoint Commissioners in each of the loyal States, to award compensation to tho owners of colored volunteers, so as to suspend tho power of compensation of said commissioners.

WASHINGTON, January 14.-Associate Justice Field to-day delivered the opinion of the United States Supreme Court in the ilissouri Test Oath case of John A. Cummins, a Roman catholic Priest, who waa indicted for preaching and teach? ing without taking the oath prescribed by the Con- I etitution of that State. Being plaintiff in error,, the court decided tho Test Oath m this case to be imconstitAitionaL-being in the nature of a punish^ ment -without triai, and in its character ex post facto, and as a bill of attainder, the judgment of tho court below is reversed, with the directions that tho plaintiff shall depart wi th out delay. As? sociate Justice Field also delivered an opinion of the court in the ex parte casos of Garland and Hair, who, having taken a part in the late re? bellion, asked to be admitted to practice. The court held that, as the State imposes a punish? ment which may not have been imposable at the time tho offence was committed, it is, in its na? ture, an ex post facto law. Attorneys are not offi? cers of the United States; they are officers of the court, a d hold their offices during good behavior. Tne court is not the register of the edicts of any other power. The appl'cants have received a. pardon from the President, which relieves them from the consequences of their offence, and makes the citizen, in tne eye of the law, what he was be- , fore the offence was committed. - Congress cannot limit the prerogative of mercy, and cannot fetter [ it by legislative restriction. It follows that the ; prayers -f tae petitioners must be granted, and also tho prayer of Mr. Marr. The rule which re? quires attorneys to take the Test Oath most be re- | scinded, and the order is made accordingly- As sociate Justice Miller, for himself, Chief Justice Chase, and Associates S wayne and Davis, read a | dissenting opinion. Earthquake In Oregon. JACKSONVILLE, OREGON, January 14.-A telegram says a terrific earthquake was felt at Fort Klaroath on the 8th inst.

The Legislature and the Tax Bill. To tte Editors of Vie Daily News : GENTLEMEN : Your paper of tho 5th has just met my notice, and while I have no word of de? fence for thc Tax Bill, which ia the subject of your strictures, I do ask to be permitted to say a very few words which may satisfy your citizens that tho Charleston Delegation were not oblivious of t'.:o interests of their constituents. I was in Columbia during the late session of the Legislature, and in tho'House on each day that the Tax Bill was under consideration; and objec? tionable as the Bill in its present form may be re? garded by the people, had it not been amended by motions of the Charleston Delegation, it would have been received with muoh loudor complaints. These amendments very materially modified tho Bill, and woro adopted hy the House.- On the se? cond reading in tho Senate most of the amend? ments were stricken out, and the Bill restored al? most to its original form; tho Housa refused its as? sent, and tho Bul aspassed is the result-Jirst, of a committee of conference, in whieh the Committee sustained each its own Bouse-and second, of a committcee of free conference, which reported at near twelve o'clock al night, when it was evident that the session must either be prolonged or the Bill be lost, and the operations of Government cease. Hence its most objectionable features. i This is unquestionably due to the late period of tho session at which the Committee of Wave and 1 Means introduced the two most important bills-the Appropriation and Tax Bills-anet this may be ob? viated if the Legislature can limit tho time during which bills requiring appropriations -may be in? troduced. The Committee, of Ways and Moans will then be enabled to approximate the amount of ] revenno required, and report the Tax Bill earlier in tho session, when it can receive the careful in? vestigation which its importance demands. And I am also inclined to the opinion that a pre?minary discussion early in the session would authorita? tively settlo the principles which should control tho Committee of Ways and Means in the imposi? tion of taxes, and materially obviate the difncul ties of tho present routone. I throw out these suggestions for tho consideration of members; whoso position and experience enablevtbem to di? rect thc courso of legislation. Tours, with great respect, T. The New Orleans Riot. A special telegram from Washington, January 5, * - the New Orleans Crescent., .says: ' rSh> Kadioals here say tho report of tho New Orleans riot committee will not be presented to Congress for some three weeks. No reliance, how* I ever, is placed in this assertion, and it is generally behoved that the committee will endeavor to send | it before the opening of the discussion on Thad. Stevens' territorializing bill, for the purpose of making capital in its favor. A number of shame? ful facts connected with the investigation have boen ascertained from reliable sources. It is known, for instance, that, without in eluding tho time similarly occupied in Washington, tho com? mittee devoted five days and a half to the hearing of Radical partizan testimony and only two days and a half to tue taking of evidence by which that might have been exposed and refuted. Qu. to enough is "known, in short, to show that the opinions of the Radical members of tho com? mittee were made up on the question they were appointed to investigate, oven before they left Washington. The treatment of the authorities and others of | the citizens who offered testimony to the com? mittee, is learned, to have been outrageous. They positively refused to admit tho evidence which was offered with respect to most important points. _ .'->'-'. ... , " Tlio tesHm'nrvjr of COT. Wolta; on the other hand, was admitted after tho committee had announced the closure of the investigation. The evidence is said to cover seven hundred printed pages. An able minority report, it ie said, will be pre? sented to Congress. A MILD SARCASM.-In a sharp article on the English and French armies, tho London Review j notes a point in which the English surpass the 1 French-tho number of useless half-pay men. It j observes: "There is an anomaly in the English army of which the French cannot boast, and that is the large flock of well dressed, gentlemanly, middle aged men who are to bo met everywhere in this country, and who belong to tho half-pay or 'unat? tached' list of field officers. It is not too much to say that of hale, hearty gentlemen in the prime of life, who hold the rank of colonel or major, but who have done no duty for years, and intend to do none for a very much longer time if possible, we have almost enough to officer a second army. Of this article of luxury our neigh- I bore know nothing. They have but two classes of officers-those oh active service, and those who, having served, are drawing their well-earned pen? sions. Of what use a plain-clothes body of mon, who ought to be doing hard work in the colonies, can bo to the nation at largo the French havo no idea whatever; and we confess to sharing their ignorance as to tho valuo of 'these half-pay worthies. The Review writer has. forgotten on? excellent purpose which this army of unemployed officers servo. They figure- largely in the modern Eng? lish novel. No well regulated romance is complote without its half-pay Colonel or Major.' Dismiss them, and what would the army bf novelists do ? WILKES BOOTH.-The Vicksburg (Miss.) Times, after giving a rumor, which ran the rounds' of the press, to the offset that J. WILKES BOOTH was really in the land of the living, makes the follow? ing remarks: The above, with many other statements bearing opon their faces equally strong evidence that John Wilkes Booth was net Killed, have been going the rounds of the press, and, without any desire to. add another sensation paragraph to the already long list on this subject, we make the following statement: There is a gentleman residing within a day's travel of Vicksburg (a personal friend of ono of the editors of this paper) who, if ho has not shaved bis moustache very recently, bears a'remarkable: resemblance.to the local photographs ' of Booth; and long ofter the reported death, of this actor, : this man was arrested in louisville, Ey., for Booth; and was compelled to undergo. a strict examina- J tion, and establish his identity, before ho waa re? leased. / The question is a very pertinent one: Why were detectives in search of the man who killed Mr. Lincoln long after that manrwaa reported dead? ? | INTEEHST ON' VmonciA STATE BONDS-A PA? THETIC LETTES, FBOM ENGLAND.-In the Virginia I House of Delegates, on Friday, the following let ter, communicated by the Governor, was' referred I to the Committee of Finance: LOHDON, England, December 8,1866. To the Members of the Legislature of the State of \ . Virginia, Richmond: ~ .' GENTLEMEN : I am a holder of $1800 bonds of the State: of Vh-ginia, issued prior to the war. The -1 non-payment of the interest due upon them has hitherto caused to me, who am in private circum? stances, vary ruinous inconvenience. I havo al? ways felt the greatest confidence in the good faith of the Virginians, and doubted not that aa soon aa the war was over Virginia would be foremost among the Southern States in re-establishing'. and np- i holding her credit. I sincerely trust that early in January, 1867, tho Atlantic Telegraph will bring the most grateful intelligence that the bonds of tho State'will be at once converted, and the Interest | due July 1,1867, punctually paid. Otherwise sore disappointment and distress will he felt. by many, and among others especially by myself. 1 '. Yours, most respectfully, " . . ""v. HBDWABD FATBBRASS. SOUTHERN 'THADV, WITH BALTTMOHE.-The Balti? more Sun says that "the trade between Baltimore and the Southern States during the past year by water has been of a gratifying character. With regular lines of steamships lo New Orleans, Savan? nah, Charleston, Bichmond, Norfolk, ftc, our city' has come in for her full share of the trade. The; receipts of cotton daring" the year were 28,683 bales.; Of tobacco the receipts were SL701-pack? ages, 2949 hogsheads, 606 boxes, and 263 cases, principally from Richmond, Petersburg, and other virginia ports. .- The receipts of wool were 3834 Two ceremonials of great interest rocent?y-to?k place in Paris.

[FEOH otis SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ] NEW YORK January ll.-In my last lotter' I threatened to inflict upon your readers a detailed description of ibo grand skating and fancy dress carnival announced to take place on the next night at Major OATMAN'S Park. True to my promieo.-or my threa*, I duly took my stand in one of tho un? comfortably crowded Sixth Avenue cars, ia compa? ny with a porty of ladies and gentlemen, a portion of them Charlestonians and the feat from Sumter, S. C. After jolting about most unpleasantly in the densely packed car, during a ride of nearly three milos, wo got out at tho corner of Fifty ninth street and found ourselves at the scene of action. On entering tho large enclosure we stand on a highly elevated eminence and look down upon j tho scene below. Thc young moon shines brightly, and hundreds of lanterns of tho variagated huos of the bow of promise-, lend their aid to the ficklo goddess of the night to light up tho scene, whilst j ongal fires of dinmont colors shine here and thero with a lurid glare, as the light, reflected by I the smooth surface of the frozen lake, plays fahras- ' tically on the bed of polished ivory ano bespangles it with diamonds. So fax as the fancy dress por? tion of the programme was concerned, it -was a partial failure, owing to tbs circumstance that the man who hires out costumes was not on hand as had been promised; nevertheless,, we noted among the skaters here and there an Irish Light Dragoon, a Benedictine Monk, a pretty little Bed Biding Hood, a tall lank live Yankee, scores of gentlemen with wax noses and some with masks. The skating itself was a magnificent sight. - As our party descended the deep flight cf stairs, and noted the graceful evo? lutions of tho skaters, wo hastened to got upon the ico itself, where we could see them moro to advantage, seated on one of the many benches that arc placed around tho sides of the pond. It is really almost beyond tho power of language to convoy to one who has not witnessed such sport an adequate idea of the1 beauty of the scene. Some of tho best skaters in this city were prosent; one lady in particular, who is famous as one of the victors in the great skating matches that took place on the Central Park Lake last year. To see a beautiful and graceful woman dance is ono of the most pleasing sights in nature; but it is impossi? ble to imagine how thoroughly graceful a woman can be when, with swan-like movement, she glides along the smooth surface of the ice. The young lady I have mentioned was tho observed of all ob- : servers, and yet there were scores of ?katers, both 1 mole and female, who were almost equally expert. Now they go round and round in a circle, now | spin around ou one foot, now twirl about in every conceivable and inconceivable manner-the young lady always surrounded by the lar zest crowd of I admirers, when, lol she shoots off like a tiny sil ver arrow shot from a magic bow, and with the jpecd of a startled fawn glides across the pond and is lost to view in the crowd till wo see her again near at hand, and she flies past us with the swiftness of the wind and once again is lost in the crowd. It was a sight well worth witnessing, and I noted with satisfaction that it was enjoyed by about twenty Charlestonians, for I counted that ?umber on the ice, conspicuous arnon? whom was ?olly old Sam Bringloe, tho pilot of the good old Quaker City, Bleating Uko an old hand at tho busi? ness. ? ? There was quite a lively time yesterday among our respected City Fathers, which carno near ter? minating in a general fight. At a meeting of the Boord of Councilmen there was a general row bo- : tween the Democratic and Bepnbhcan members, or rather tho warmest kind of debate, that threatened to lead to a hand-to-hand engagement; indeed the first shot was actually fired by Mr. Long, who complimented the President by hurling an ink stand at his head, at the same time accus? ing him of carrying a pistol in direct'violation of j the law. This was the first and last shot, how- | G vcr; and, though the meeting broke ur> in most i rim ired disorder, no regular engagement took flace. Benjamin Bethel Beast Butler has throe civil M;tions against bim in Court for his uncivil con? duct in leaving New Orleans without settling np bis debts. Yesterday theso actions were trans? ferred from the Supreme Court hero to tho Su? premo Court of the United States, or rather a motion was made to that effect, which will proba My bo granted. The war between the liquor dealers and the Ex? cise Law has begun in good earnest. At a meeting held last night tho liquor men passed resolutions in favor of employing counsel to represent them before the Legislature, and prove to that august body that it is not right, nor just, nor lawful, to prevent a citizen of this glorious land of freedom Crom imbibing spirituous liquors ad lib ?lum. Each ono of the brewers, distillers and venders of the "enemy," will subscribe five dollars in-aid of the good cause. Meanwhile liquor and beer will be distilled, brewed, sold and drank, in spite of the obnoxious prohibitory law. Tho humane ana ch?ntame lauiea mm gouuc men who, a year ago, conceived the idea of ealab- I ??shing a homo for poor fallen and abandoned fe? males, arc gratified by finding .that in the very first year .they bave met with- fair success. I? | this ''Horne of the Tempted," the poor friendless < fallen young girl is received kindly, when all the rest of mankind abandons her in her shame. Here she re?oives religious instruction, is furnished with work, is well clad and comfortably supported, and every inducement to. reform is offered. In the past year hundreds of these young women have been reclaimed from the paths of evil, and many of them have boen restored to their friends, purer in heart, poor creatures, than when they were first ! tempted^and, being tempted, fell. Biston has left ns and set out on her Western tour; she will return in April, and, after playing a abort en g agement, goes over to Paris to hold forth there during Ute Exposition. Edwin Booth will continue to play at the Winter Garden till March. The Black Crook will probably run through the" whole of next summer, perhaps through the entire year; many of your readers, therefore, may have an opportunity of seeing thia world-renowned pan? tomime.

Mr. John Taylor, who lives about seven mil ?is below here, happened to have one of the bond bills issued from this office describing the. horse, when 1 the said Bile7 rode up and offered the stolen horse to him for eighty1 dollars.

It will be seen that the Masonic Order, true to the generous instincts that bolong to their teaching, have remembered tho poor of the South, especially those of our own city. Bal? timore has made for herself a glorious record since the war, by her free and ncbio charities, and the Masons, by their cordial sympathy aud ready aid, have ennobled their order and added another link to' tho chain that already binas it to ns as the em? bodiment of all earthly good: HELP Fon THE Poon.-Centre Lodge, No. 108, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, desirous to aid tbe Masonic Roliof Fair to bo held at Charleston, S. C., have had made six -pieces of silverware, os a donation to that benevolent undertaking. They consist of a tureen,' castor, with cut-glass cruets, an ice-water pitcher, a cake basket, a butter cooler, and a salvo. They woro manufactured by Mr. William Holmes, No. 12 Bank Lane, and will bo on exhibition for several days before their re? moval to Charleston, at the store of Mr. J. Cor? bett, No. 93 Baltimore street. THE HARDNESS OF SILVER_M. Mathoy, assayer of Leela, has shown that the hardness" of which carvers in silver sometimes complain is not owing to the presence of tin, lead or any other .: etal, but is solely due to the high temperature at which the silver is cast. By letting tho crucible cool, until a slight solid crust is formed on the surface of the fused metal, and casting at that moment, a soft j silver with a brilliant cut is obtained. - !

HOSTKTTKR'S STOMACH BITTERS stand pre-eminent among medicinal preparations in this country. The demand for them ls something wonderful, unparalleled; hence the counterfeiters know full weil that If they can Impose thoir"fiery fluids upon the people as that famous tonic, they can make fortunes by thc fraud. They arc now at work. Detectives are on tho trail of | some of them, and others have been already brought to book. Dei the public second tho proprietors lu their ef? forts to baffle the reckless scoundrels who seek at once to poison thc community and swindle the firm that has pro? duced tho finest Vegetable Bitters ever manufactured Thinking to dodge the law, the counterfeiters are affixing to their bottles names resembling in orthography and sound that of HOSTETTER, such as "HOCHSTETTER," "HOOFETKTTEH," and the like. Will the public be kind 1 enough to look to this, and to eoe also that the label ls au right, with.
