The point on which tho Republicans spilt is the Confederate vote; j all favor blacks voting, but some seem to abhor the idea of disfranchising the whites and placing the States at the mercy of tho blacks. Others seem determined to disfranchise the Confederates as a punishment, others because they fear their influence and votes as dangerous to the country. Several motions to adjourn wore negatived, and a proposition tw> Tote at 12 o'clock to-night w - - rejected. . ' ';? Tho Senate finally adjourned without a vote or understanding. * - " ' In the course of dobat^vMr. Doolittle said the : people of the South woola not accept universal ! suffrage, but would prefer military rule. Mr. Wilson responded-" Make them accept it." The Republican Senators were ia caucus this morning. Mr. Wilson introduced a hill declaring the Amendment ratified and a part of the Cons ti? ti on. The Bepublican caucus appointed a committee of | seven, to combine Stevens' and Elliott's bills, to to apply to all Southern States. Two hundred and eighty farms, under the Homo stead Law, were reported from Flotilla during January. The Internal Bevenue ?receipts for the week is 52,500,000 Henry S.

Concurrent resolutions of the New York Legisla- | lure approving the District of Columbia Si-i&a^e Bill were presented. The matter of an alleged corruption of members involving the honor of the House, promising not to-do certain things if the President changed his policy, embracing who the members were who carried the messages between them and the Pr?sident, was referred to a select committee of three. Two and a quarter millions were appropriated for the revenue cutter service. A Bill to build light-houses at the following points was passed : Braddock's Point, Ga.: Com bahee Bank, Ga.; Tybee Island Knob, Ga.; Morris Island, S.

LATEE. FEBBUABX 17.-Sherman's snhstitute was passed at 6J o'clock this morning byva vote of 29 to 10. This is substantially the same as Blaine's amend? ment. The Texas attorneys have commenced proceed? ings against White, Tachites, Vanderbarg and others for $100,00) worth' of Tesas indemnity bonds, obtained on unfulfilled and alleged unlaw? ful, contracts made during.the rebellion.' The Secretary of the Treasury has been notified of pro? ceedings. The payment of-the bonds has been stopped pending thc suit , by order of the Court. 1 The case involves several-nice political questions, ] and the Bill will meet a serious opposition in the House. / Several Republicana, including Stevens and Brandege, are reported to be indignant that the President should appoint officers, approve death sentences, and the Federal Coijjts should be allowed to issue habeas corpus. The 'friends of the measure appr?henda veto, and bolters de? feat the entire measure. Three Senators voted to-day on the motion to substitute Sherman's amendment, viz: Saulsbury, Buckalew and Davis. An amendment that all punishment under Sher? man's substitute be according to law was defeated by a vote of eight to twenty-nine. Sherman's substitute in the preamble is aimiiar to Stevens', only the President matead of the Gen? eral appoints the officers. Sentences of death re? quire the Presidential approval, and the habeas corpus not to be suspenden; beyond all interfer? ence of State authority with military authority, nullified. SECTION 5th.

General News. NEW YOEE, February 16.-In the Snpreme Court in Chambers, yesterday, the case of George Olney, [ Captain of the steamer Washington, having come up on application for his discharge OD a writ cf ? habeas corpus, the petitioner's counsel contended that the requisition of Governor Pierpont was in? valid, on the ground that there was no such State asTirginia in the Union .recognized by the Fede? ral Government, or Senate, as such; that Governor Pierpont had been appointed Governor by the President, who had no right to make such appoint? ment; that the Governor of New Tori had no legal authority to expatriate a citizen on the requisition of Governor Pierpont, and that we have no treaty with Virginia for that purpose. He signified hie intention of traversing the return to the writ, and the hearing of the case was set down for thia morning at 10 o'clock. _*?

The following is a copy of the Bill reported from the Joint Committoe on Reconstruction by Hon. THADDEUS STEVENS, as it passed the House of Be preaentatives on Wednesday: .jry A BILL TO PBOVTDE FOE THE MOKE EFFICIENT GOV? ERNMENT OF THE IN8URRECTIONABT STATES. Whereas tho pretended State Governments of the lat? so-called Confederate States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, - Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Arkansas, wero set tip without tho authority of Congress and without the sanction of the people: and whereas said pretended governments ofiord no adequate protection for Lue or property, but countenance and encourage lawlessness and crime; and whereas it is necessary that peace and good order should be enforced in said so-called States until loyal a-d Republican State governments can be legally es? tablished; therefore, Be it enacted by tho Senate and House of Repre? sentatives of the United States of America in Con? gress assembled, That said late so-called Con? federate States shall be divided into military dis? tricts and made subject to the military authority of the United States as hereinafter prescribed, and for that purpose Virginia shall constitute the first district; North Carolina and South Carolina th: second district; Georgia, Alabama and Floridi the third district; Mississippi and Arkansas the rou'-'h district, and Louisiana and ??Texas tho ? fifth district. SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the General of tho army to assign to the command of each of said districts an officer of the army, not below the rank of Brigadier-Gene? ral, and to detail a sufficient military force to en? able such officer to perform his duties and enforce his authority in the district to which he is as? signed. SEO. 3. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of each officer assigned as aforesaid to protect all persons in their rights of person and property, to suppress insurrection, di?oi?er od violence, and to puniste or cause to be punished, all disturbers of thos?j?blic peace and criminals, and to this end-he hrcr allow local civil tribunals to tabs jurisdiction .of and to try offenders, or whon in his judgment ? may be necessary for the trial Of offenders, he shall have power to organize military commissions or tribunals forthat purpose, anything in the Constitution and laws of any of the so-called Confederate States to the contrary not? withstanding; and all legislative* or judicial pro? ceedings or processes to prevent or control thc proceedings of said military tribunals, and all in- ' terference by said pretended State Governments with the exercise of military authority under this Act. shall be void and of no effect.

Thc Executive and Congress. POLITICAL. CAUCUSES AND CONVERSATIONS FOB HAR? MONY--THE RADICALS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TROUBLE. [Correspondence Baltimore Sun.] WASHINGTON, February 15.-3There are various and conflicting t umors in the newspapers of to-day pf caucus meetings cf Republican members, and of conferences' between, them and the President looking to a mutual understanding and the har? monious co-operation ot the legislative and execu? tive branches of-tho Government. V No caucus proper has been held, bat ' it is true, nevertheless, that ineie have been informal con? versational meetings of the Republican members for the parp?se "above indicated. Many of these members have, in the meantime, called upon Mr. Johnson, whom tiley found to be, like themselves, ijesdy and anxious to compare views, and come to some agreement'whereby confidence and respect Shall be restored in and for each other, and where? by they can sincerely work together in the matter of restoring the Southern States to theix proper relations in the Union, and : establishingiaw and order, and 'providing for the protection of all the people alike in the South. - I have not, heretofore, felt authorized to refer to these facts, aod oin not at liberty at this mo? ment to give the details of the' common grounds upon which thc Congressmen and the President have discovered they can co-operate fully; bat it is satisfactorily established that the legislative and executive branches can move harmoniously to? gether hereafter, if the extreme Radicals shall not prevail in their efforts, now industriously prosecu? ted, to deter members of both Houses from any re? conciliation whatever between the latter and Mr, Johnson. The conferences have disclosed the fact that much if not all the acrimony and working at cross purposes between the Executive and Congress would never have, occurred probably, had the Re? publican members regularly visited and conferred with Mr. Johnson. RAISE PROVISION^.-The New Orleans Picayune, in remarking upon the policy of devoting less at? tention to the cultivation of cotton and more to the raising of provisions, says: In the name of common sense let our planting people grow their own corn, and make their own bread and meat. Do this first, and give up thc ex? ploded idea that "cotton is king." And when home wants are supplied then grow cotton, and the country will grow richer. If the whole South could be induced to adopt a self-8usteinimr policy by making their own food ana raiment, and give the balance of their time to the culture of cotton, no people on earth would be as rich as we would soonAe. A season is past, and another crop of cotton has been added to the records; but as far as its visible effects can be seen on the wealth of the Southern country, it had as well not have been made. A minion bales have been counted, worth a hundred millions of dollars. But it has gone-gone glim? mering to help other people, and enrich other pockets. Th are is nothing left of it. No more money is in the South than before it was gathered. Some may ask, where is it? We point them to the huge heaps of freight and produce doily landed at the wharf, and whioh, the moment they touch the shore, ore wheeled away to the railroads and coast steamers to feed the fanning people. BREAD RIOTS IN ENGLAND_Late English mails bring particulars of the bread riots that occurred ! in Deptford on the 23d ult. A vast number of laboring mon and citizens, who had been thrown out of employment by the severa weather, assem? bled to demand bread from the relieving officers of the parish. Tickets were distributed os rapidly as possible, but the crowd became so clamorous that it was impossible to satisfy them, and they broke into and ransacked a baker's shop in the neighborhood. Proceeding in a riotous proces? sion, they pillaged successively all the bakers* shops that came in their way, until stayed by the J arrival of a strong body of police. Such occurrences among a class generally orderly and well-behaved indicates an extremity of want pitiful to contem- | plate. In many parts of England the same dis? tress exists, and there is no prospect of immediate relief. Destitution so wide-spread is beyond the reach of ordinary measures of charity, and the Government will probably take some action for the abatement of the evil. SHOCKING DISTRESS IN NEWFOUNDLAND.-The j last mail brings the most deplorable account of dis? ease and destitution is the island of Newfoundland. I ; In St. John's, scarlet fever of % most malignant type | is sweeping off families, yoong and old-the extra- j I ordinary mildness of the weather there seemingly aiding the' fearful ravages of the disease. In other districts, owing to the partial failure of the fishery, and the almost entire loss of the potato crop by j I rot, an amount of destitution prevails scarcely ? credible, did we not have the testimony of as. j j eye-witness. A letter to a gentleman in Boston says : " " ' j Never did I witness such scenes as I have since I came os this circuit on the Southern shores of Trinity Bay. On New Year's day I visited a ' 'tut," j or cabin-it was a wretched hovel, covered with rinds and sods, and one side of the hovel waa loaded with atones to keep it from blowing amy. With difficulty I pushed open the door. Stretched ont upon the bare earth (for there waa no floor) was a man, about fifty years of age; his :ohly covering consisted of a piece of oil cloth jacket and a strip of dirty canvas. He appeared to be in a dying condition. Sitting by bim on a "tub was his wife, her only garment being a portion of a bread bag over her shoulders, holding is her arms an almost naked babe. Two other children, is an ? -equally wretched state, were cowering over the embers in the fireplace. They had sot eaten a morsel since the previous day. The house cos eistod of but on? room, whioh. was entirely desti? tute of fnrmture-?io bods or blankets; no chaira or cooking utensils-absolutely nothing but two kettles. Corn meal and molasses are doled ont hythe Government, but evan this is diminishing rapidly, while paupers are as rapidly increasing. CHARLESTON", S. MASONIC BANO,??tT. It being understood among the Masonic Frater? nity of Charleston that certain delegates from Brethren representing the Lodges of tho Cities of "Washington and Baltimore, had reached oar State, bringing gifts of value to the ruined Lodges'of Columbia, a number of the Bie&ren here msde preparations for giving them such a reception as should bo worthy of the fraternity. This, with tho facile and ready resources of Mr. PDBCELL, of | the Mills House, was easy to be done. According? ly the Brethren delegates and visitors were met at the cars, on Saturday, on reaching the city from Columbia, and were ushered to the grateful hos? pitalities of the Mills House. They wero officially introduced to the Grand Secretary by a letter from M. W. Grand Master OBS, and by the G. S. to the Brethren generally, from whom they had a hearty and most fraternal welcome. Night had just set in when the banquet was de? clared ready for the distinguished delegation, and they wero severally announced, as follows: John P. Hamlin, Lebanon Lodge, No. 7, Wash? ington, D. C. James F. Gedney, Lebanon Lodge, No. 7, Wash? ington, D. C. . Chas. Stewart, Lebanon Lodge, No. 7, Washing? ton, D. C. - Geo. Goodall, Lafayette Lodge, No. 19, Washing? ton, D. C. Henry Birch, Hiram Lodge, No. 10, Washington, D. C. M. L. Merrill, Washington Centenial Lodge, No. 14, Washington, D. C. Mark J. Cornell, Center Lodge, No. IDS, Balti? more, Md. The'table was happily arranged and sumptuous? ly sDread with all the 8e1ic8SlfiB of tbs city and the season. P. G. Mitton. HENEY BOTST presided in the East;, tho West was fitly filled by our excellent and honored Brother, Dep. G. M. JAMES CONNER; the South was occupied by G. H. Priest EOBEBT S. BBUNS, and opposite to him presided the G. T. H. W. SCHRODER. The honorable guests were daly placed in propinquity with these several officers, and the business of the bouquet was legitimately opened by a very general demolition of the appe? tizing viands spread before the company. The feast of comfits and the flow of wine soon prepared the company for the/inception of that sublimer food which belongs.-to the feast of reason and tile flow of soul; on?^u>ihe' due stroke of the gavel, the presiding officer iii tho East broke ground in a warm, speech?? 'iveicpma to-the visitors, earnest, forcible and grateful, as?s tire characteristic of tho honorable gentleman's speeches in general. He concluded his speech, which was received with ' ' lusty cheers, with the following sentiment : L Our Masonic Fraternity throughout the Unit? ed States-One welcome of brotherhood to them ;ill may be conceived from that wlsch we now give (Kith heart and hand to our guests to-night. To this a brief, modest, bat manly reply, was made by one of tho delegates, to which Bro. R. W. SEYMOUR responded promptly in his usual felici? tous and appropriate manner. The second regular toast was given from the Choir in the. East as follows : 2. Ttie .Grand bodge of the Stale of Soulli Caro? lina A very general call of the assembly for the G. D. in the West brought up that officer, who re? sponded in a graceful, thoughtful, and very im? pressive reply, singularly applicable to tho occa? sion and the subject. The third sentiment was especially dedicated to the guests. 3. Our Brethren representing the Fraternity from our Sister Lodges of Washington and Balti? more'.' 4. The Temple and its Priesthood Toj this gentiment the G. H. P. BBUNS made a brief but appropriate response, concluding with the following sentiment : *..-.? The Temple made with Hands-ia. all Masonic lands, type of the Eternal Will, that gave its great commands; type of that Temple elis, that still eternal stands, high on the Heavenly hill, mode by no human hands. ? 5. The prosperity of all Lodges in gooddanding, willi honest working and overflowing treasuries. To this toast, the Grand Treasurer replied, with magisterial dignity and the grace of a Treasurer who is conscious that his - coffers are fini, and that ' his defaulting members are few. He concluded with the following sentiment : The Greater and Lesser Ligias of Masonry : types of those Grand Luminaries which make oar day a glory and our night a beauty ; may they burn with os benign an influence for us, as their grander models bum for the blessing of a world. Law, which represents society and citiSization, and is Vie best security for bolh-~lu. the subversion Dr the overthrow of Law, society loses all that is precious, and civilization forfeits all tho inherit? ance of past generations. To this Brother F. A. SAWYER repli od very hap? pily, and in the following toast corollary appealed to Colonel THOMAS Y. SIMONS for a response. By F. A. SAWYER The Civil and the Common Law-The adjust? ment and adaptation of the laws of God to the .vants of man in civil society. As Masonry teaches those laws in impressive, symbolic langnage, the good, lawyer is the better one for being a good Mason, To this coll Colonel SIMONS responded impres? sively, condensing his answer happily, on so co? pious a subject, into a brief but lucid speoch. He Eonzludod with the following sentiment: Masonic Law.-The standard guardian of a tine liberty, civilization and fraternity. It has its origin in "that truth whose seat is in the bosom of God," and which has remained unshaken amid all ages and climes. The regular toasts, seven in number, having been regularly dispatched, the brethren, allround, were permitted the free play of speech and senti? ment, and very happy, indeed, did they prove themselves in beth. We have not been able to se? cure copies of oil the toasts given; but those which follow will suffice to illustrate the grace, harmony and excellent fellowship which prevailed through? out the feast. By W. A. COURTENAY The East-Whence came the Light-the West, which receives it-the South, which enjoys it. Have wo not a shrine for each in the temple, and with every breeze that blows, do we not find some welcome song, that preludes the daily birth of Light. BY ZIMMERMAN DAVIS Charity-That self-renovating fountain, which gives out its refresh ng waters aa fast ?8 they ac? cumulate. Twice blessed, as blessing him who gives, and hint who takes. Its waters find their sources in the eternal springs of Heaven. Col. SEYMOUR, by a pleasant play of words, allud? ing to the Arch-angel Wrnanr., called np W. E. MIKFT.T., Esq., who, admitting himself to be a member of the Arch, disclaimed the special refer? ence to himself, and referred the toast of Col. SEY? MOUR to its proper proprietor in the person of Dr. ISAAC W. ANSEL. Mr. MnrBT.L continued his speech in a happy strain throughout, making) in fact, one of the most successful speeches of the evening, concluding with the following expressive sentiment: .? The Ineffable Name /-Adorable beyond all speech-unapproachable in majesty, but accessi? ble to the heart utterances, in which Love renders itself in into Faith, and bows secure and confident -to a Will which tempers Justice with Msrcy, and seeks only to rule through Love." The reference to Dr. ANGEL necessarily called up that gentleman, who responded in the following sentiment. By J. W. ANGEL, Master of Landmark Lodge, No. 70: Masonry, the Great Mother of us all.-May she so extend her benign influence over the wide uni? verse, that we shalt know no Esst, no South,: no West, no North; but, tried by tho proper standards, may we be found by the Omnipotent the perfect Ashlar, indaed, fit to become a part of the Grand Celestial Lodge on High, where tho Omnipotent shall preside through all eternity. By--: The Blind, but Honest and Hopeful laborer. Whose blindness is couched in the Medicine Lodge of Humanity by the loving fingers of art. Ancient Craft Masonry-Coexistent with tba temple, coexistent with the world, ita barmen cover men of every nation, and it summons to its altars the disciples of every fitith. By C. C. NETIX Fidelity-The Masonic ideal of what is worthy and truthful in love, in man end woman. Several songs were sung, during the progress of the feast, Colonel SEYMOUR'S being sufficiently dul? cet, somewhat pathetic, and always effective. Among tho singers was Captain C. E. CfifCHKerXS, Who gave us the song of the "Entered Apprentice" with the happiest effect.: v" By Col. B. S. D?BYEA The Benign Influences of Masonry--Tho saving, succoring, humane and charitable-never more essentially neoo3eary in the cause of humanity than now, when madness seems to prevail through all the world ot Christendom. Col. DURYEA enforced this beautiful sentiment, BO characteristic of masonry, in a flowing and com? prehensive speech, which commanded the earnest atteention of the audience. By Bro.-r . We welcome the weary wanderer to the Lodges of light and succor,with tho Good Samantin at the entrance, and the inexhaustible crane ot the widow to nourish and sustain. ; C., MONDAY MORNINGr, By CoL K. W. SKTMODB: . George Washington-The true apostle of liberty -above self;-dedicated to his country; a noble ma? son; tho man over all, tho-first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen. Wo regret that so many of the excellent toasts of modest brethren-have escaped our search, but trust that enough has been shown of _tho proceed? ings to justify our guests on their return home, in bearing evidence to the becoming sentiment of the masonic brethren in South Carolina, showing their faithful working, their zeal in the cause, and that deep felt earnest philanthropy which, disre? garding place or section, State and country, recog? nizes above all, the bonds of an universal brother? hood. And, so forever mote it be 1 Amen ! Our Washington Letter. [SPECIAL COHSESPONDENCE Ol' THE DAILY NEWS."] LOITEBEBS ABOUT THE CAPITAL. WASHINGTON, February 18.-There has been a remarkable influx of visitors at the capital the winter through, and at no timo more conspicuous or in greater force than ' now. Two things have, undoubtedly, been the leading inducements of this honor from abroad-one in the fact that tho sensa? tionalized correspondence of a score of leading Nonhern journals establishes, as it is perused in families and over the matutinal coffee, the idea that Washington is the continuous scene of great ? political intrigues, always discovered to the world and the opposition just before the hour fixed upon for the grand coup de main. Society immediately jumps at this presentment of the. case, and re- j solves that where there is so much plotting and j counter-plotting, the beau monde should not be without representation-and down to Washington forthwith comes the delegates of fashion, in ones, twos and squads, all athirst for the promised ex? citement, and willing to add fuel to the flame wheresoever opportunity offers. I am guilty of np exaggeration when I assure yon that a more bril? liant concourse, of opulent idlers, from salons ot j fashion the country over, with not a few of their j titled cousins from across "the pond," cannot be found congregated in any r ne city in the Union than such as is now gathered in daily at tendance upon the 1 debates of Congress. They put up at and take possession of our hotels, and play the grandees until the town-folk and the common habitues ot ] Congress are quite distressed, in the realization that their plumage, either as leaders of Washing? ton ton or the representation of official notability, is quite overshadowed and forgotten. Between 12 and 1 o'clock each day .these people axe charioted to the capitol; for an hour or two saunter .about the rotunda and in through the galleries of either House. Thence they wend their way to receptions of officials advertised for that day, and finally be? take themselves to dinner and the intricacies of an evening toilet for some ore ot the many balls, routs, dining affairs continually on the lapis. To the capitol they go, garbed in .the latest Parisian jauntiness, exhuberant in spirit, and, assfar as the weaker vessel^are concerned, determined to make a conquest and "spoon" of every unwary, moder- j ately-aged member that may come in their way or chance to direct his gaze towards their conspicu? ous places in the galleries over his head. And the will of the irresistible creatures is not often crossed in this respect. Toa may note, during their seductive scrutiny of national legislation, that scores of Congressmen, attracted by the love? liness that looks down upon their incomprehensible endeavors, are continually absenting themselves from the Representative Chamber only to turn np a moment later for introduction to the enchantress and her sister irresistibles. Under such (manning influences it ia scarcely to be won? dered at that the House often linda Itself without a quorum, while its gsttsries represent nearly tho full Representative body. It Bhcrald be understood by the country, also, that full ono-half of the ora? tory now drawn out in such volume upon every subject that may arise in the~House ia attributable, in great part, to the desire of members to parade their eloquence before the afareaaid occupants of I tho galleries. I need not ?ay that air this ii de- ! moralizing, and that 'under such a sway, soft, gushing and entrancing though it be, the minds of | members at large is more given to white cravats and "swallow tails'' than to any ono of the ques? tions over which they talk so much, and examine so little, OUB CTTY* COUSINS CUTTING) ANOTHER FIOUBE. Of course the advent of such a multitude of fash? ion leaders from other spheres of the beau monde, has a more or less agitating and enlivening effect | upon the " head centres" of social jollification ! hereabout. The " locals" vie with each other in I extending " the freedom of the city," and the hos? pitality of their consequences are discoverable in the Sfts of Bristol boord, and with tinted envelopes continually on the wing, bearing the compliments bf Mi-lord and Mi-lady, and the usual " at home'' for a. definited&te or series. And then follow the brilliance and sparkle of "these entertainment a in such rapid succession, that they represent seme sort of social pyrotechnics that bring out every? one to note the display, and-in -which those fragile' little moths of upper-tendom are constantly scorch? ing their gossamer wings. The supervision and control of these drawing-room fireworks has been thus far in auch unexceptionably able bands as those of Senators* MOBQAJI, REVEBDY JOHNSON, SPEAGUE, and Congressmen DODGE. In this little coterie is represented millions of treasure, in excess perhaps of " the pile" of any. similar number of. gontlomen that can be taken from either House. Each one of tbjm maintain magnificent' establishments, and Uve royally. Their respective entertainments overshadow in coat and perfection'anything hith? erto attempted in the Capital, and even now remain a day's source of wonderment to every fashionable denizen in the District. Here again, the good peo? ple from abroad shown resplendent, and crowned the triumph of the feast. Not merely in numbers was this distinction acquired, bat in superb toilets stzown with jewels beyond price, and whose every shred came "-froDa beyond the seas." THE ''IJTTJC?, HABMLESS GOSSIP" THAT OBOWB OUT - OF ALL THIS TOBOSE. Of course, under the circumstances, gossip andi bon mots, something on the Parisian order, are tis plenty and entertaining aa possible. One of the prevailing "rages" among the beautyhcod of Washington ia in a mad and most demonstrable endeavor to marry foreigners. The marriageble portion of the Bex, with not a few who have enter? ed the sacred compact, are in one grand scramble to entoil everything in the similitude of imported manhood. The several foreign legations aro besieged and smothered in the sighs that come from, our domes t?o femininity. The latter is continually indulging in tho audible plea of Desdemona, "would kind Heaven have made her such a man" as one of these aharp-booted, bob-tail-coated, immaculately-glov? ed whiskerandoes, who strut a brief season in the Capital and then are seen no more forever. The nurtia, I am inclined to think, is induced by the i fact that several of {he Foreign Ministers, Marquis MANTHOLON, Baron GEBOXT, Count BOTHBCO, and a number of attach?es, have, in farmer years, when quietly left to note the incomparable bloom and perfection of American women, led to tho altar some of the loveliest (though- by no moshe the best born) daughters of the District of Columbi?. Indeed it is quite the thing, under the present regime, tor young.indis? to throw off the ordinary and commendable prudishness of the sex. - Mot a day goes by that you do sot see the gay, dashing, and nearly untnteIHgibb attaches or tho several legations figuring at the opera, theatre, or howling along some fashionable drive, always cJiaperonod by a lady, and receiving, not administering, the civilities of the situation. . - Dowagers who have finally disposed of their marriageable stock, shake their ponder ooo head? dresses in well-timed exea . rion to the general laxi? ty of etiquette now in vogue, but those wide ?wake, ambitious heads of families who have determined to marry SARAH JAW to s> ''prince,'' even though hebe in danger of transformation to ?-"gardeners son," consider the risk and hold their maternal breaths- in anxiety for the, result. Occasionally some proud little beauty is brought to grief and -temporary retirement from the hunt; because of a marufest jilt, or an escapada, just shaded with girl? ish indiscretion. ' Bat ni the main, such casualties are not over many, considering the gauntlet run, ?lid the few that aro wounded soon cometo, the surface in aa good heart and- pluck as at the out? set. Vn>EX>? PROGRESS AND PBOHPEBITY. OS OAIXrOBHIA. There aro now about 4,000,000 acres cf land enclos? ed in California, and ?bout 1,769,000 under cultiva? tion. These ?re tar larger area* of occupied end improved land than were ever before reported. Three years ago the amount of land under cultiva? tion waa only 1,197,984 acres. | Most of the increase since was mado last year. A considerable portion of it was in the larger mining counties, which are beginning to claim importance) as fruit and wine? growing districts. The are? planted to wheat was i about 600/109 acrer, a gain ot 200 000 acres in three years. The yield was 13^000.000 bushels, or 7,000, 000 more than in 1868. The barley crop also shows ?tv great increase. In-.1863. lt, was about 4,000,000 bushels in twenty-four counties, including all but three or four or the strictly agricultural corintios.
