The Chiban Loan was introduced by J. L. MOB OAK & Co., and has proved a great success. Appli cations even on tho first day it oponed were three, times greater than required. HALIFAX, January 31.-Advices by the Africa report fourteen feet of snow in some parts of Den? mark. The ice catastrophe in Begent's Park, London, still absorbs the general interest. Forty bodies have been found, and the scar.-h is still continued. A West India steamer arrived at Liverpool with Yellow Fever. There were 60 cases and 23 deaths during the voyage. The weather in Europe has been unprecedented? ly severe. The Belgian Chambers have rejected the Penal Code abolishing the death penalty. In Italy, Senor SOAXIAGA had made his financial statements to the Chamber of Deputies. The total deficit for the year amounts to 185,000, 000 livres. Of this he proposes to cover 85,000,000 by various financial reforms. The remaining hun? dred million must be made up by extraordinary means. A loan is" impossible; that is, impossible under present circumstances. The State must have recourse, therefore, to the ecclesiastical pro? perty, which it proposes to tax to the amount of 600,000,000 livres, which will cover tho annual de? ficit until 1880, when the budget will be in equi librium. The revenue is steadily increasing, and expenditure-decreasing. The expenso of the war department has been reduced to 110,000,000. Congressional.

The Secretary of State was. asked - whether the bills repealing tho 13th section of the District Bufirage Bill were on file in his ofllco. It was stated in the debato on this subject that thin was the first instance cf tho neglect to return bills with or without approval.

Washington Newe. WASHINGTON, January SI.-General CUSTIS LEE baa declined the Presidency of tho Maryland Agri? cultural College. A resolution in the Pennsylvania Legislature, | n laudatory to the President's persistent opposition to tho disunionists of all classes, and the judicious exercise of his veto power, was indefinitely post? poned, by a strict party vote of 57 to 33. The Conservatives are earnestly and hopefully at work in Washington. The statements telegraph? ed North of tho basis of compromise or progress, are merely speculation. Gen. G ELLEM" K Bureau Report (from Miss.) for * December, says that Lhe demand for labor induces negro immigration. Wages from $10 to $15 per month, with rations, quarters and medicines. There were 7909 rations issued during tho mouth. The prohibition to carry firearms, or owning any real estate, are fruitful sources of dissatisfaction to freedmen. The detective, Gen; L. C.

[SPEOIAL COBBESPONDENOE OE THE DAILY >TEW8.] WASHINGTON, January 28.-Observing men hav? ing to do with the Treasury Department mors or less intimately, and knowing of the routine of its soveral branches, have been of the opinion theBe many months that all was not going right in that bureau of tho great temple of national money changing, which has exclusive supervision of print? ing tho multitudinous "promisos to pay" of the Government. The operations of this branch of j the Department aro moro extensive and involved than any other, and in the exorcise of tho daily method that applies to its ramifications, there is, perhaps, not a single step in which whatever germ of depravity or weakness possessing tho operative, is not awakened and urged to peculation. In printing its bonds and currency, tho Government have endeavored to ?BO exclusively a quality of paper invented by one of its artisans, with a view to defying tho pest of counterfeits. Tbereforo it is that the dopet from which the Treasury Depart? ment draws its supplies of paper for note printing is obliged to account, with scrupulous exactitude, upon every scrap of pnper .manufactured, and which, once dehvered, is counted by sheets, like ao much money, and calls for a re coipt from the hoad of the Bureau. From the latter, each invoice of paper is distributed with similar minuteness among the "pressmen" of tho Bureau, and an exact record of the number of impressions taken is kept by an employee, solely directed to wabch over tito operations of the press. Here, then, are three processes of tho greenback printing, which must produce roaults that tally exactly, or fraud is unmistakeable. The counts of the manufacturer and printer must balance; tho monitor or guard at tho press must agree with tho pressmen's receipt, and the number of bonds turned out for signature and final preparation, at the hands of co-ordinate branches of tho Depart? ment, finally remain to test the correctness of each atop of the problem. It wodd naturally seem that with such a niutiplicity of wheels within wheels, a far-sighted operative would give up tho temptation of peculation as a matter too complex for successful attempt, for it is evident that in order to maka a "strike" of some magnitude tho "steal" must continue several monthB, and could only be consummated hy the complicity of ?omo fifteen operativos, who are ordinarily re? quired to follow a method designed to dis? cover the IcaBt abstraction of bonds or paper in its employment by each individually. Yet not withstandi-*r tho labor and delicacy of working ?ip a com toy of such extent, it is reported ivithin the wat twenty-four hours that tho Troa ?ury Department has co;.no to tho realization of tho' existence of a scheme quito as far-reaching md enormous ir? its frauds, -is it would previously lavo been possible to have \ un turad to guara n too inpracticable, improbable, or impossible. At all wents, tho Burean has hoon closod up, tho opera? tes temporarily discharged, and tho wholo sys ?ein, wh:ch bas "previously boon kept in operation mtil twolve o'clock eyory night in working money 'or the Government, has entirely suspended. ThiB ?essation occurred yesterday by order of Secretary \IcCulloch. and nil the appurtenances of tho green jack manufactory were forthwith surrouueed by ta army of Treasury dotcctives, and aro now being -ii mm?, ged and investigated as no bureau of that Department was over subjected to before. To all nquiries on thc subject tho Treasury officials aro is mum as tho tomb, and among the six hundred :lerks employed by the Department thore scorns ;o prevail a Beared senoe that "aomethi jg is up," nvolving the honesty of overy one of them. There is but little "doubt that a system of mag? nificent theft ia to be disclosod, or at least discov? ered-?or it is not always that the Government | j irovea either a candid or expressi ve Bufferer iii its oases. As for tho Bureau, I have known thoae six nonths that the active managers of tho American ' ?Jank Note Company in Now York, who make tho )U8iness of printing paper monoy a scienco of pre- i ?aution and core, have all along entertained thc I loliof that, under the system in vogue at the Trca- < tura Printing Bureau, colossal frauds and loane? < mist sooner or later como t'j light. You will ob- I .orve, by your dispatches of this date, that tho i louse has become alive to tho cxigoncks of thc < ?ase, notwithstanding tho suspension of opera- 1 ions adverted to above was intended to ?avo ] >een accomplished with thc moat profound quiet- t ide. The resolution adopted this morning p o- 1 rides that the Ways and Moans Committee shall 1 uko exclusive conduct of the investigation, and 1 'have authority to send for persons and papers." E The fcv-.eciul Committee appointed by tue House o investigate the New Orleans riot maintain a \ uost marvellous perseverance in the matter of 1 ivoking testimony. Witnesses of every class and < ondition are every day summoned bofore it,. 1 rom the travelling correspondent of the Now t fork Tribune, who failed to seo the row on 1 ccount of pressing husmeas in a part of tho city t aost remote from the trwde to un imported e .arkey, who testifies that ho was piling lumber in \ ront of the edifice ocoupied by tho Convection, t nd witnessed the whole affair "up to the time ho c ui t work, having finished the job lato in the after- c loon. About the only epicy event connected t rith the investigation is tue fact of the Commit ee's summoning the entire fifteen members of ?ie Reconstruction Committee, to testify as to mat they know in the premises. During tho j ?urso of this august examination, Air. Boyer, tho y ?emoeratie member of the former Committee, i ronght up thc report that the New Orleans Con ention was only conceived by tho "Southern loyal ?ts" after they had been advised hy letter from OngrcBsmen to organize a meeting with reference ) such a revolution of the State Government of louisiana. Though not a copy of those letters I r an be obtained, it ia indub tabiy proven that ! - had. Stevens waa the author of many, aa tho ex- j, onei't of tho wiBh of the Reconstruction Com- ' utteo. Mr. Boyer pressed thc matter moat un lercifully upon tho latter, prefacing Iiis direct lruata at "Old Thad" by interrogating with be jming gravity, both Congressman Bogers and 1 cuator Johnson-(tho only Democrats on thc r ommitteoj-as to their complicity in this infu- l tous correspondence suggested. This done, tho t ucry followed to Stevons, who, in anticipation of io "question, was nerving himself for the occa ion. After a deal of ludicrous muscular agita on, Old Thad, finally admitted that it was possi Je he had written letters advising the call of tho ow Orleans Convention, and possibly ho might avo said in the course of such correspondence nat tho Beconstruction Committee sanctioned, ould sanction the call, but on account of (he time mt had sinco olapsed (irearly a year ago) ho ould deprecate any positive assertion on tho abject. VIDEX. Our New York Letter. [FROM OUR SPECIAL COBBESPONDENT.] | C I NEW YORK, January 28.-Who steals my puree ;eala trash. 'Tis aomething-nothing; 'twaa mine -'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; but ho lat filches from me my good watch, robs me of lat which enriches h m materially, and puts mo E ) exceeding inconvenience. Tho incident I am d bout to relate, and in whh.b, to a certain extent, t was an actor, though uot the hero of tho story, ccurred on last Saturday night; time-ll o'clock; lace-Third Avenuo cara. A party of a dozen larobriiana-ladies and gentlemeu-were enjoying ae luxury of a juggling, jolting ride in a car BO losely pack.d that tho conductor, in collecting tho ire, grew so confused that he seamed at one time o take himself for a passenger who had just got i, and whom ho suspected of endeavoring to neak off without paying. One of our party, a ;entleman who rejoices in the possession of a nagnificent gold watch, to wnich is appended a 1 Laudsomo chain, which hangs down 'in a most t empting manner, had a position on tho ^landing 1 ommittee during tho lengthy ride, and aa he cn errained tho lathes with his converaatton, a party >f six pickpockets were oquaily entertained by ad uiriug the watch-chain and forming plans for its apture, and that o" the time-jticce" attached. At he corner of Eighth street the Carolina delegation ecoded from the car. Moultrie led the van, gnl autly escorting a lady, whom he carefully piloted cross tho snowy, slushy, ahppory street, and anded safely on the lews* treacherous sidewalk, iut lol tho balaneo of the delegation come lot; and hark ! a cry tb?.t suggests a difficulty. Vhafc bhall Moultrie clo? Shall he abandon tho adv, aud with wing? as awift as meditation if the thoughts of, lovo hasten to the relief if his friends, or nhall he remain at his post ? Ie did not remain, and now behold him on thc ?cone of action, but too Into to do heroic deeds, for he performance was well nigh over. When the Jarolhia delegation readied tho platform, ono of he pickpocket committee blocked up tho passugo io as to rcuder egress next to impossible; v/hort! lpon one of tho gentlemen took him by thc collar n a manner not tho most gentle, and cu used him o describe a semicircle. Now was tho Limo for ,ion, thought the watchful thieves; wherefore, fivo >f thom went into tho pushing business with a will, vhilst a sixth gently iusinuated lus hand into a >ockot bolongiug to thc gentleman who waa pro? motor of tho handsome watch. Tho hand graaped lie watch chain, and the pickpocket looked upon ;ho 'dexterous feat as a fail accompli, when tutl lenly a hand soized him by tito throat, and its sompanion drew thc watch chain from ita grap? he thief broke away and boat a hasty retroat; but ie was closely followed by three fothers of the karolina delegation, who caught him in the {wink? ing of an oye, and by the back of tho neck, and iel.! him up agahiat the car platform, aa well as igainst his will. When Mouilrie caine up this icene had just ended, and tho curtain had j ?ist risen on the second act. where the thief waa dis jovercd hugged in tho brawny arms of a big police nan; who from time to time amused himself hy jerenadiug tho pickpocket's head with his club*. L'he battle waa over; the thieves had mado & fiasco md were discomfited; tho Carolinians were vic .orious; the watch waa saved; the ladies made up heir minds not to faint, and Birdied sweetly on the rcntlemen who had acted so ga Jantly. But Moid* .rio got no smile, for ho had not distinguished limself; he had done no choking; he had not come ip to time when the time-piece drama waa being jerformed. In fact, bia feelings were auch as even ho pickpocket mig'at not have envied. The Hon. John Morrissey is not the only man vho has thought proper to ?eform, to abandon he prize fighting profession and adopt tho more louorablo (?) callinir of a faro-dealcr. John C. Keenan has alao reformed, and has, for aome time past, occupied the highly honorablo poBition of proprietor of a fashionable tiger's den at No. 7o'2 ".roadway. The den, however, waB broken into last night by the lynx-eyed officers of the law, and the tiger was caught in the act of swallowing a mouth? ful of greenbacks, amounting to upwards of fifteen thousand dollars. Heenan, the keeper of the Egyptian Tionagerie and tamer of the tiger, was arrested, together with several distinguished gen? tlemen, among whom was Louis Baker, the man who ia ??aid to have sent Bill Poole, the pugilist, to his last account. Morrissey's bank still lives and flourishes. A man named Do?ean, who was former!} the United States Navy, committed suicide last night by blowing his brains out with a pistol. The act was done with most extraordinary coolness, and the poor man left a letter in which he stated that ho was neither mad nor intoxicated; but, finding that lifo did not pay a dividend in his case, ho thought it best to dispose of his stock. Ever since it has become known that Leonard W. Jerome has made a donation of five- thousand dollars to t^e Princeton College, the interest to be | applied every year to the purchase of a medal to be awarded to the "first gentlemm" in tho institu? tion, it has been a matter of-discussion inpolite circles, what are tb 3 essential qualifications of a gentleman, and whether, if a man be a gentleman, he can be lesa or moro of one than his neighbor. Jerome's definition of a gentleman is, in sub star, co, "one who manifests the most consideration for the feelings of others." A good definition and a good donation. It is said that tho Booth revival of tho Mer? chant of Venice is to "mark an era on tho New York stage," and that the scenery and appoint? ments are of the most magnificent descript on. I rejoice in the possession of a first-class orchestra seat for to-night, and will be on hand to soe the Jew that Shakspearo drew from an incident in real life, in which tho, facts were entirely at variance with the play-for it is weh known that Shylock, the money lender, was a Christian, and the Merchant of Venice a Jew; but the great poet reversed it, to pander to tho prejudice of the masses. MOULTRIE. WHITE LABOBEBS.-We find tho following in the Savannah News and Herald : SAVANNAH, January 25,1867. Editors News and Herald : DEAB Sros :-I am authorized to ann:unce to tho people of Georgia, Florida and South Caro? lina, that tho Emigration Agencies of New York will furnish emigrants (male) who will contract and work at $10 per month. Partios wishing to employ such labor should form clubs or associations, so as to call 100 or more into tho neighborhood, and take families, so that they might have societies among themselves, and with those of their own language, till they learn ours. It has been our error in bringing only young, single mon amongst us, who do not understand onr language, and to expect a few only, of those isolated strangers to bo contented and happy. If we will bring mon with thoir wives, daught? ers and sons, and give them all employment, and. lot them be settled au colon i H 1 laborers on the neighboring plantations, and I doubt not but they will be happy, prosperous, a jd useful. L* you think the matter worthy public notice ind public interost, and will give it tho bonefit of j'our circulation, you may thereby do a service to bur disorganized country. I havo just roturned from a trip through tho richest cotton lands of Georgia, and find a general want of laborers everywhere. Yours, very respectfully, G. W. GABMANY. excitement among thc Freedmen In Mob ll o. We clip the following from the Mobile Advertiser af Tuesday : Tho negro woman, Mary Mitchell, who was ar? rested on Saturday for the murder of a little negro ;irl which sho adopted some two or threo weeks igo, was carried before tho Mayor's Court this morning, and tho case WAH sent to Justice Starr. When the officer left tho court room with tho pris? oner, ho was foll-wed to tho street by tho largo n'owd of freodracn who had gono up to witness the .rial, and on reaching the street hundreds of j thors joined tho throng, all most intensely excit? ed. It was proven at tho Coroner's inquest yes? terday that tho woman, altor starving tho child ilmost to a skeleton, had beaten her with switches mt from rone-bushes and full of thorns; that she ?vould take the cl did in the morning and thrust ior into a tub of cold water, keeping h-. r there till .he was nearly drowned; and that on thc morning Deforo too child died the monster had givon her two or threo hundred lashes. Tho result was, tho audy of tho little ghi presented a most horrid jpectaclo to tho eyes of the Coroner and his jury. Thus it carno about that a great deal of indigna? tion against the woman was felt among such of .he colored population of the city us wero acquaint? ed with tho facts, and for a time, as tho officer led icr to thc offico of Justice Starr, it was feared that m attempt would be made by tho crowd to lynch ?cr; and a Uno of policemen was drawn up across he street to keep back the surging mans of color id humanity, among which the excitement was rery manifest. Fortunately, no violence was at ompted, and after blocking tm Conti street in front if the magistrate's offico until tho policomon start id to the guard-house with the prisoner, the crowd >roke up and quietly dispersed.

From SAMUEL HENRY DICKSON, M. D., Professor Practice of Physic, Jefferson Medical College, Phila? delphia, formerly of Charleston, S. C. : PHILADELPHIA, November Iff, 1805. I have been for a your or more past in the habit ot taking tho water of the "Excelsior" Spring of Saratoga. Accustomed during thu groat portion of my invalid Ute to use the different waters of the several fountains which boil up along that remarkable valley, dependent, indeed, upon them tor much of the comfort I .en joy, I am satis? fied that tho Excelsior Water is as well adapted PB any other among thom, if not more BO, td the purposes for which they aro generally employed. It lavery agreeable, strongly impregnated with the carbonic acid, lively and sparkling. * * * I can heartily and conscientiously recommend it to all who need a gentle cathartic and diuretic. SAMUEL HENRY DICKSON, M. D. Tho Water is put up in Pint and Quart bottles, and packed in good order for skipping, Pints in boxe? ol four dozen each, and Quarts in boxes of two dozen each.
