Washington News.
WASHINGTON, February 18.-Mr. Wentworth's
Corruption Committee creates more amusement
than apprehension. The developments go to show
that two enterprising newspaper men engineered
the thing, their primary object being to secure a
big item. Congressmen were approached and en?
couraged to visit the President, to whom the
views of the Executive seemed moderate, and they
showed great anxiety to harmonize the country.
The interviews were social and free, officially
binding neither party. The President represented
that he was utterly opposed to Congressional in?
terference with State electors. The whole matter
amounted to this, and nothing more.
The U. S. steamer S watara has arrived from the
Mediterranean and is lying off the wharf at this
city. Prison quarters have been prepared for Su
ratt, and he will be brought ashore during the
night.
The Supreme Court reversed the decision from
the Maryland Circuit, where the decision was bas?
ed upon evidence that the maker of the note was
drunk, and that when drunk,, was addicted to
fambling, and that the holder of the note was a
eeper of a gambling house.
The Supreme Court decided that such evidence
was not admissible-Justice Grier dissenting.
Congxxesslonal.
WASHINGTON, February 18.-In the House the.
grevions question--on Sherman's substitute has
een seconded, and by previous agreement the
House took a recess to 7 o'clock, when the Bill will
pass unless its opponents filibuster. The extreme
Radicals oppose violently, and the Democrats de?
terminedly. It cannot pass, over the Veto.
A joint resolution from the Utah Legislature
was presented, praying a repeal of the Territorial
law punishing polygamy. The Bill for suffrage
regardless of sex was tabled after an hour's
debate.
A resolution that the President was only em?
powered to pardon after conviction, and that
pardons heretofore granted were null, was referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
The District Committee were instructed to re?
port a Bill prohibiting the sale of liquor in the Dis?
trict, but itrwas afterward withdrawn.
The Bill on the National Bank currency was
tabled. Mr. Sherman's substituto was then con?
sidered, when Mr. Stevens moved that the House
non-con cur, and asked a Committee of Confer?
ence.
Mr. Bout well spoke in opposition to Shermie's J ]
substitute, and complained that the Bill gave
more power to the President, and the functions of
reconstruction to the rebels. \ We ought to remove
from the reconstruction business in South Carolina [
the Orrs, the Pic kens', and the Magraths. - Tho J
' Bill leaves the work open to any one who choses,
to engage in it; we entrust rebels with the work,
of reconstruction of which we are afraid or inca?
pable. '
Mr. Stokes opposed, because he saw in it uni- j
versal amnesty or universal suffrage ; he did not 1
understand language if it did not enfranchise ?
every rebel in the South. He preferred to defeat Con?
gressional reconstruction, rather than to support
the measures of this BUL Mr. Stevens took ground
that the Bfll usurped the power of the future Con?
gress, and afterward ventilated his usual bitter?
ness against the President and Southern people.
Mr. Blaine favored the Bill,contending that it
gave ho more rights than Congress gave the Ten?
nessee rebels. Mr. Wilson, of California, sus- | .c
tain ed the BUL Mr. Bin gh am made a better hit at
Stevens, showing that there was not.a single' fea?
ture in the Bill which was not at one time or the
other favored hythe Reconstruction Committee.
Mr. Schenk, of Ohio, favored the BUI as the only'
thing possible. After further argument, Mr.
Blaine demanded the previous question, which
Y?as seconded by a vote of 78 to 64.: A motion was -'
then made that the whole subject be tabled, which s
was negatived by a vote of 40 to 118. The House t
then tock a recess. . ^ ' T
In tho Senate, Mr. Sumner presented' a memo- *
rial from the Pennsylvania Peace Society, urging C
the establishment of an international tribunal to
which national difieren cos should be referred.. The
Bill extending the time for appeals on a Writ of
Error from the excluded States was passed. The ?
West Point BUI was BO amended -as to prohibit o
Sunday parades, and then passed. Mr. Sumner b
made an ineffectual effort to disinter Eliot's Bill. -
The Diplomatic Appropriation BUI was then
taken np and amended, to pay Mr.- Harvey his
salary as Minister to Portugal. The Senate then
went into Executive session, and afterward took a
recess. " _

MISCEGENATION.-There was a biU up recently
before tho Legislature of Maine, for the repeal of
the statute prohibiting intermarriage between
blacks and whites. It passed the Senate after con?
siderable debate and skilful engineering on the part
of its special friends. But the correspondent of the
Boston Post says it wiU not get through the House;
for "nigger equality has not made that progress
to the minds of a majority of the members for
them to legalize miscegenation. It was easy
enough to talk negro, eat negro and drink negro,
bat when it came to marrying negro, it was
too much for the human endurance of Radicals."

[SPECIAL COBBEBPONDENCE OP TBE DAILY NEWS ]
WASHINGTON, February 16.
A SHE IN THE CAMP
Is manifestly interrupting the secret councils of
the Radicals; and that interruption comes from no
less a source than his Excellency the President. It
is as true as fate that negotiations are now pend?
ing; that emissaries from the White House urge
these negotiations, and that their purport is wholly
of compromise and concession. I shall not be
surprised if all this mysterious conclave, about
which I know more than will bear printing, ends
in the virtual abandonment of his policy by Mr.
JOHNSON, and for the balance of his ierm a tacit
acquiescence in the reconstructive schemes of
Congress. It is hard to think this of a man who
has stood out so bravely against the machinations
of an unscrupulous political party; but "the signs
of the times" are too pregnant, in Washington at
least, to admit of longer disbelief. Nor ?B this
consummation to be long delayed, in my judgmeut,
and if not published to the world before the pas?
sage of another fortnight, I shall be greatly out of
reckoning, and acknowledge mys eli' no prophet.
I know, from the men who have been the right
hands and influence of Mr. JOHNSON in the Admin?
istration's good work of reconstruction, that they
no longer have influence in his councils nor faith
in their strict accord with the principles hereto?
fore enunciated as the line and plummet of the
Executive. One of the most prominent movers in
the Philadelphia Convention of the 14th of
lugust last, an ex-member of the Cabinet, and a
trusted adherent and adviser of Mr. JOHNSON
nearly up to the present time, confessed to me
to-day that "the President had lain like a log in
the stream, hindering the current in his; favor,
md permitting himself to be flooded with the
it use of the opposing party. The truth of this
remark, and its perfect applicability to the prem?
ises, none can so appreciate aB those who have
abored these eighteen months past to mtike the
Administration popular and' encompass the de?
feat of its enemies. From the first it has been an
ip-till, thankless drudgery ? defeated most signal
y by the Executive himself, and now come wholly
?. naught by the d?fection I have chronicled,
rhere is scarcely a night goes by at this time that
:he President is not closeted with Messrs. BING?
HAM, BANKS, HUBBELL, DELANO, and others of the
Radical party, who, from receiving the missiona?
ries of this new declaration of "p^Rce and good
viii" in their Congressional haunts, or iii cau?
cuses improvised for the purpose, have, m th in
?he last few days, taken to openly waiting upon
?ie President-a circumstance but too certainly
ndicating that Mr. JOHNSON has yielded enough to
usure an easy conquest over all that remains ot
iis original policy.
Until very recently these negotiations for recon
?iliation between Congress and the President, at
rach a fearful cost of the honor and political in
?egrity of the latter, hav? been conducted with
tome degree of secresy. Miny knew that Mr.
BANES and Mr. BINGHAM had, of'late, taken to an
Eccentric way of dodging in at the "back door" of
he White House,- and remaining, during thu pro?
gress of those visits, strictly incog. But the gene
?al inference, as far as excited, went to the belief
hat these gentlemen were only bartering for the
lispensation of a little patronage in their- respect
ve districts, and were merely a trifle sensitive
tbout .discovery in the. bargain. - But now, the
nurder is so thoroughly out that. even the Badi?
nai newspaper organ, published by JNO. W. FOE
?EY, could not repress in this morning's issue
he following prematurely exposed and evident
imitation in the success of tho denouement:
In case that ANDREW JOHNSON should yield and
ave himself from utter ruin, the Copperhead
aadere would be lost forever, and the country
uroly Baved." And in proceeding to note the ar?
ide of Thursday's New,York World, arraigning the
'resident, in plain terms, in this very regard, the
Chronicle finally remarks : "We have seen no
lore powerful proof of the strength and righte
osriesB of Congress than these words of the
Voriii and if ANDHEW JoHNSON.needs a way out
fhis complications, he has only to take any other
ut that which is counselled by the paper that de
ounced him os a "boorish tailor"' in 1864, and a
isgraced official in 1865. Will the Piesident
ield?
THE FORTIETH CON GUESS.
The moorain g Congress will probably sit until
ur into the summer. Nothing as yet has been ao
ompliahed in the real, wholesome legislation re?
nd red by the country, and with an exclusive at
Dntion to that line of work, it will take at least
ixty days to put the commercial interests of the
oople in anything like ship-shape for weathering
inancial a tresa ea that may impend at any day.
71th the additional presentment of the impeach?
ment question, it is not improbable that Congress
lay come to be a perpetual body.

NEW YOKE, February 15.-The play 1 the play's
ie thing about which I am called upon to speak,
he play of "Married Life," as performed two
ights ago, at STECK'S Music Hall, hy a company
t ten lady and gentlemen amateurs, the larger
ortion of them Charlestonians, and the balance
rom Sumter, South Carolina. It had been origin
ily intended to perform the piece in the large par?
ir? of the private residence of one of your ex-citi
3ns, but it was found that the guests could not
1 be accommodated, wherefore it was resolved
pon to have the performance at the boll above
lentioned, which was kindly tendered for the oc
ision by Mr. STECK. The comedy waB presented
a Wednesday night before an audience of two
undred aid fifty invited guests, more than ono
alf of whom were Charlestonians, and the larger
ortion of the. remaining half from different South
rn StateB. The performance was such an extra
rdinary and unlooked for success, many able crit
?8 who were present pronouncing it equal to that
f WAIXA^'B company in the same piece, that it
i in contemplation to reproduce it at ono of tho
leatres here for the benefit of the Southern Be?
ef Fund. The tickets will be BO disposed of by the
ommittee that it is probable that, should the afrail?
?me off, it will be one of the most select entertain
lents of the kind ever gotten up for a worthy and
haritable purpose. As to the performance, it was,
a my opinion, such aB would reflect credit on the
lest stock company of professional actors in this
ountry.
I do not propose to present to your readers a
ie mi-editorial view of my opinion on the political
questionB, or rather on the political question of
;he day. It becomes me, however, as your corres?
pondent, and a? a truthful chronicler of events, to
?tate that the remarks of Gov. OBB, at the ban
met of the Chamber of Commerce, have produced
i good effect here, and it ?B hoped by all parties
hat South Carolina may act in accordance with
;he advice of him who now stands at her helm of
3tatw, manfully endeavoring to weather tho Btorra
md ride over the waves that beat against the tina?
jera of the good old ship.
Valentine's Day was duly celebrated yesterday to
the delight of everybody in general and the dis?
gust of the posto??ce clerks in particular, who had
i hard day's work in delivering ninety thousand
valentines.^ The book-store men and stationers,
however, were in high spirits and smiled, whilst
the postofflce clerks looked all sad, tired and for?
lorn. The ladies were, of course, on the aide of
tee bookstore men, and wore their prettiest smiles
as well as their prettiest dresses, as each one sat
at home looking for the accidental (?) dropping in
of the raoBt favored swain, who had invested most
extensively in the valentine business.
Tho Academy of Music will soon be itself again:
it baa arisen, Phoenix-like, from its ashes, anjLnow
stands restored to its pristine glory. The hew
building will be inaugurated on the 28th instant by
a grand ball, in aid of the widows and orphans ol
the membeas cf old volunteer Fire Department.
The fine arts seem to be at a dicsonnt here, or
greenbacks at a premium. At an auction sale of
paintings that took place yesterday at the Fine Art
Gallery in Fifth Avenue, the best pictures sold at
lamentably low prices. A landscape of GUSTAVE
DOBE, executed in his best style, was thrown
away for ninety dollars; whilst pictures of such
masters as MOLLET, DESBBOSSES and WALKES,
brought, comparatively speaking, little or nothing.
A rather curious case of double-barreled bigamy
is now before one of the courts here. A man
named HANDY is charged with having married two
women in the last two years, both wives being
now alive. Thinking that an extra wife or so would
be a handy thing to have, he had been guilty of
the crime which ARTEMUS . WAED calls matrying
too much. It appears, however, that one of the
better-halves was a Confederate war widow, who
has another worse-half now living; this, however,
the lady denies, wherefore the case is complicated.
Tor ANY & Co. have on exhibition a case of.
silver ware valued at twenty-one thousand dollars,
to be sent on to ?he Paris Exposition. The con?
tents of the case are a fae simile of the dome of
our National Capitol, cast in solid silver, and
weighing one hundred and eighty-five ounces, and
two models of steamers, one valued at seven thou?
sand dollars ard the other at five thousand. Be?
sides the Be, are tea-sets, bowls, goblets, icc., inlaid,
with gold. j
A grand concert is announced to take place at
Irving Hall, next Saturday, night, for the benefit
of the Southern Belief Fund, and first-olaBS artists
have volunteered their services. A lecture is to
be delivered at Cooper Institute, by RICKARD
O'GORMAN, Esq., the proceeds to be applied teethe
same purpose; in fact, the ball is well in motion,
and the people of New York are up and doing, and
are nobly answering the call in behalf of their
Southern brethren. The amateur performance of
"Married Life," however, which I spoke of above,
will be the event of the season-eight of the ladies
and gentlemen have consented to perform, and it
requires but the assent of the other two to render
the praiseworthy enterprise a fail accompli.
Business brightening up a little.

FROM EUROPE.
BY STEAMSHIP TO FEBRUARY 2.
The French steamer St. Laurent from Brest on
the 2d of February, arrived at New York anthe

The Paris Constitutional, of February 2, pub?
lishes an important article on the price of corn at
Paris and in the principal provincial markets, and
on the probability that the fall which, has lat ely set
in may continue. ' , . .
1 The re-establishment of the tribune in the
French Chambers is referred to by several pf the
Paris journals of tho 2d inst, in terms of approval,
and is considered as typical of the profound change
which has taken place in the sentiments entertain?
ed by the head of the State. The fact is known, it
is said, that the* Duke d? Morny, when President
,of the Legislative body, had frequently applied!to
the Emperor to allow.the Deputies to speak from
the tribune, and that a decided disinclination tb.
comply was alwavs manifested. ' ' ; . !
The Gazette of Northern Germany,'the semi?
official organ of the Prussian Government, de?
clares that the annexation of Crete; the Cyclades,
and a part of Thessaly, is necessary to the politi
cal existence of Greece.
Disturbances broke out at Turin on 28th of Jan?
uary. Bands of workmen,/ belonging for th&most
part to the government establishments, paraded
the streets, shouting "Bread and work."- They
pillaged some bakers' shops, but raised no sedi?
tious cries.' The national guard interposed and
order wtis finally restored.
A letter from Rome of the 26th of January, in
the Gazette du Midi, says :
Serious difficulties had arisen at the last confer?
ences of M. Tonello with Cardinal Antonelli and
Mgrs. Berardi and Franchi, on the subject of the
hats of candidates for the vacant bishopriosj-pre
eented by the Italian government in a semi-official
way. Among them are found only a few names ac?
ceptable to the Roman Court, and the Florence
Cabinet is considered to have used to a very large
extent the faculty left it.
The Italie, of Florence, ot the 30th of January
remarks:
"A grand diplomatic dinner, just given at the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, possessed a more im?
portant character than such assemblages usually
possess. For the first time since the kingdom of
Italy was constituted, the repr?sentatives of all the
Powers were seen together. The Ministers, the
Presidents of both Chambers, the Prefect and the
Syndic of Florence were also present."
Cardinal de Bonald, Archbishop of Lycms, is se?
riously UL
A large cotton manufactory at Curs (Rhone), be?
longing to M. Chapon, has been totally destroyed
by fire.
The Paris Union stated that a banking finn at
Gue r ande (Loire-Infer i eur o) has suspended pay?
ments and been declared insolvent. The liabilities
are estimated at nearly 600,000 franca.
The disappearance of the clerk of an agent de
change, says the Nord, with six hundred thousand
francs, is announced.
Several arrests have been made in the Vivienne
quarter of Paris of persons charged with the fabri?
cation of forged notes of loreign hanks, particular?
ly of the Bank of Hayti.
The Belgian Minister of Public Works has just
asked the Chamber for a credit of 250,000 franca
for the defence of the coasts.
The Polish press in Galicia and Possen, lately so
partial to the Kaiser and his government, has sud?
denly changed its key, and teems with unfavorable
criticisms upon the conduct of public affairs at
Vienna. .
Mr. Bright made another great speech on Be?
fo tm at Rochdale, his home, on the 30th January.
The English papers state that death has been
busy during the month of January among the
aristocracy of the land. The Marquis of Exeter,
copular as a statesman, sportsman and gentleman
For half a century, waa buried within a few days of
the Earl of Kingston. On the day that a beautiful
young daughter of Lord St. Vincent was buried,
the old Countess of Mayo-mother of the Chief
Secretary for Ireland, Lord Naas-died ; and on
the 27th died at the age of 82, Sarah Sophia, the
Dowager Countess of Jersey.
It is understood that the return of her Majesty
and the Court to Windsor Castle will be the begin?
ning of a somewhat gayer aeaaon than usual. The
Prince and Princess of Wales arrived in London
on tho 28th ox January, for the season, and took
up their quarters at tho Marlborough House. The
Court are to be visited during the summer by tho
Cesare wi tch and his bride, the Prince and Princess
of Prussia, the King and Queen of Denmark, the
King of Greece, Prince Louis and Princess Alice
of Hesse, and other members of Continental
Royalty.
The following political gossip we collate from
our English exchanges :
New political combinations were the talk of the
clubs. The latest on dits were that soon after Par?
liament meets the Earl of Malmesbury would be
appointed to succeed Earl Cowley as Minister to
France, and that Mr. Walpole would be raised to
the peerage and succeed Lord Malmesbury as
Lord Privy Seal. Mr. Robert Lowe is to again be
urged to join tho Cabinet and take the Home Of?
fice vacated by Mr. Walpole. It is also said that a
vacancy is to bo nindo for Mr. Horsman if he will
accept office under Lord Derby.
FRANCS:.
TEE EMPEROR'S BEFOBM MEASURES-HOW THEY WEBE
COMMUNICATED TO IIIS CABINET.
[Paris [January 23) Correspondence of the London Times.]
In the meantime the Emperor waa maturing, in
silence and. secrecy, his plan of reform-not quite
the same as that which has been published, though
very nearly so. Tho Cabinet Council that waa to
meet on Wednesday was postponed, in conse?
quence of the Court ball, to Thursday, and on that
day, before any other business was entered upon,
he quietly drew from his pocket a sheet of paper,
read to his Ministers the draft of bia project, in?
formed thom that as he had definitely made up his
mind upon it he would not then trouble them for
any observations, and requested them to proceed
forthwith to tho ordinary business of the day. The
Ministois received the gracious communication
with respect; not without surprise, but they said
nothing. On Saturday the Council of Ministers
met again, and, tho Emperor having settled in his
own mind what to do with them, they were allowed
to have their say. Thc Empress was present, and
took part in the conference. There can be no in?
delicacy in alluding to thia illustrious lady, who is,
to all intents and purposes, a political personage.
Her Majesty has over and over again presided at
Cabinet Councils; Bhe almost always takes a share
in the proceedings, and sometimes" signs decrees
and ordinances. In the present instance, it is re?
lated that lier Majesty was pleased to express her?
self not over-satisfied with the concessions grant?
ed by the Emperor, as they gave rather too much
latitude to the opposition, and too much disarmed
authority. M. Chasse-loup Laubat (Marine) in?
clines to more liberal views, and, perhaps, took
some exceptions to the proiect. There ?B some un?
certainty as to how Marshal Bandon expressed
himBelf on this particular subject, though there
were none as to what he thought of the project for
tho organization of the army. M. Laualette,
strange to say, took rather a liberal view, though
he might not completely disapprove the plan. M.
Fould did not conceal his opinion that it could
hardly be looked upon as serious. He would cor?
dially support any well-considered serious measure
that would enlarge the circle of public liberty, and
at the sanio time maintain the public authority of
the Executive; but he did not think that the one
in question had that character. After hearing
with his wonted serenity and patience all the Min?
isters had to say, His Majesty was pleased to notify
to his Ministers that he had made np his mind,
and he "invited" them to resign en moase. ! The
"invitation" was at \)nce accepted. It was1 con?
sidered as a mere formality, though perhaps a su?
perfluous one, as they all expected to be reinstated
ni their posts.
The Passage of Mr. Stevens* Bill by the
House.
[From the National Intelligencer, February IL],
? The blackest record ever made by an assembly
of the representatives of a free people stained yes?
terday the proceedings of the House of Represen?
tatives.. Never, in the most tyrannous hour of the
Long Parliament misrule; never, amid the utmost
subservience to the royal mandate of an English
king; never, in the most bloodthirsty epoch of a
French Convention, did the representatives of, the
?eoplo stamp themselves with greater ignominy,
be Bill which passed by a vote of 109 to 55, hands
one-third of the people of this country over to
military government. For the rule of law it sub?
stitutes the will of an officer.1 For the tribunal bf
a judge, it furnishes a drumhead court-martial or
a military commission. For th? process of a court
and the peaceful visit of a sheriff, it proffers the
order of a petty satrap and the presence of a
squad of bayonets. It ignores the Chief Magis?
trate of the United States. It invests a general
with absolute power over one-third of his corin try
men.
It erecto subordinate dictators, armed with unbri?
dled power, from the Potomac to the Bio Grande.
Throughout this broad domain, comprising the
fairest and most fertile section of the Republic,' no
man is to have a secure title to his property:, no
man's house is free from search; no man's chattels
exempt from seizure; no man's liberty unexposed
to assault; no'man's life safe from peril. An army
officer, a soldier exalted above the law, may ruth?
lessly invade a citizen's .home and drag, him from
the bosom' of. ;hia family.' Such a: Bill makes a
mockery of free, jnsrituti?ns. - It 'despites all the
safeguards of popular liberty. It tramples on the
freedom of the press. It annihilates the right ??
free assemblage; It silences tho lips of free speech.
It infringes .the right of the people to bear arms.
It wipes out the guaranty of a grand jory present?
ment. It abolishes; the .exemption of freedom
from seizure and from search. It abrogates the
right of trial by jury of one's peers in the vicinage
of the commission of the alleged offenceMt tram?
ples upon the prerogative of the President, it
makes war upon the Constitution, it rebels against
the authority of the Supreme Court.. It invades
the sacred constitutional rights of the citizen. ! It
is treason enveloped in the forms of law. It is re?
bellion wearing the garb. of legitimate power, h It
ia usurpation assuming the sanctity of constitu?
tional enactment. .?. ?;. ' ' ' . . i
Vend?en not Liable on Notes 'Given for
Purchase of Slaves.
Judge Gates, of Louisiana, has decided that in
contracts of sale there are mutual ob ligations
that of the seller to deliver and warrant the things
sold and its peaceable possession; that of.the buyer
to accept the dehvory and pay the price^-and that
the logical sequence of the action: of the "State in
emancipating slaves must be, that when the right
of property. in that. which had heretofore been
treated as such by the laws is destroyed, the lawB
to regulate the right of parties to that property,
and to enforce payment of obligations giver! foe it.
must follow the fate of the property itself and all
contracts based upon th os? laws be annulled. I
Judge Gates holds that the tenure by which.thia
species of property was held"was dur?rent from
that by which all other, properly is held It was
not based, be says, en natural law; and the right
of liberty was a pre-existing right-which belonged
to the person held as a slave, however much pub?
lic policy and the supposed interest of the country
may have prevented the enforcement of-that right
by the person cl aiming it. Bat when the sovereign
power of the State intervened to recognizer .and
enforce that right, it cannot.be said that tie prop?
er tv was destroyed by any fortuitous event;''
' Government cannot say that a tract of land,
which is property by the laws pf nature, Shall io
longer be property. ', It can 'appropriate'it"for
public use by compensating the owner, but it still
possesses the 'quality of property. Bat a slave,
once emancipated, can, by no subsequent act of
the Government, be legally-held as a skye.. He
loses all the essential characteristics of property,
and becomes free by virtue of the enforcement of
his natural and preexisting right of hberty..,., I
The French Government recognized this princi?
ple, when in 1789 it' abolished the feudal rights
without indemnity, and enacted a law to the effect
that all suits instituted j and. pot decide i by final
judgment, relative to feudal rights, should be ex?
tinguished, (clients), md consequently that all ar?
rearages due by tho vassals could not be collected
by process of law.-Montgomery Mail
EX-8ECBETABY OF THE THEA susy HOWELL COBB,
OF GEOBOIA.-General Howell Cobb,'of Georgia,
former Speaker of the House and Secretary of the
Treasury, is in Washington. He is now practicing
his profession at Macon. The National Intelli
?encer states that the fleeting years have made
ttlo impression upon his physique, which gives
unmistakable indications ofgreat vigor. Mr. Cobb
meets many gentlemen in Washington of all par?
ties-among them most prominent Republicans
with whom he was associated in former days, and
by whom he was so much regarded. He is upon
no political summons or errand; but at the request
of friends be speaks frankly of the political situa?
tion, and with that Bound sense that character?
izes his viewB. He advises that the South
shall make no political alliances, but shall sed?
ulously seek to repair its fcrtumes by devo?
tion to commercial affairs, and bear with forti?
tude whatever shall be precipitated in politics.
Gen. Cobb is a planter as well as lawyer. In the
first capacity, his former slaves are all with lum;
some working upon shareB. others at wages. Ab?
sence of capital and usual facilities for agricultural
purposes will, he thinks,, cause the cotton crop to
be lesB this year than last. The tax, State and
national, upon cotton planters is equal to seven
cents to the pound, which is certainly an unexam?
pled percentage in taxation. In this view we do
not hesitate to speak of it as most grinding and
oppressive. It is so crushing that of comae plant?
ers must devote a large portion of their estates to
raising ordinary farm products. This outs off the
sale in the South of the food products of the West.
In respect to politics, Gen. Cobb says that none
are more determined to sustain the Union in good
faith and support the Constitution and laws than
the soldiers of the late Confederate armies.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COM
: " PANY.
TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAJ^JSEPOBT.
This Company has just concluded a year of the
most distinguished prosperity. Its premium re?
ceipts for 1866 exceeded those of 1865 by a million
of dollars, whilst its total receipts for the former
year amounted to $3,088,806.47. Thus the assets
or the Company, after the discharge of all its
losses and liabilities, aro now $6,727,816 65, of
which no less a sum than $1,845,896.95 has been
added to this great total from the transactions of
1866. We have as much reason to congratulate
the public aa the Company upon this magnificent
result of twelve months' labor-the former upon
its prudent solection of such an eminent Company,
and the latter for the discrimination, energy and
vigor with wbioh it prosecuted . its busineBB.
To auch guardianship fathers can with confidence
commit the ultimate hopes of their dependent
families, for the acrupulous integrity with
which the Company has ever discharged
such vital trusts, is daily adding to the
number of its clients. It should be a sub?
ject of pride and pleasure to the President, Hon.
M?BIUS FBANKLTN, and the Actuary, WILLIAM H.
BEEBS, Esq., to reflect upon the position to which
their conjoint abilities have advanced thiB treasury
of tho provident, for the uprightness with which
ita affairs have been conducted has not only es?
tablished the fame of the corporation, but has
conferred a benefit upon humanity by thus in?
structing it in the value of the great principle of
life insurance. We are confident that none of
those about to insure their Uves caD peruso unin?
fluenced the forcible statomont of this Company to
be found in another column, and we refer our
readers to that document as more appreciative
than any words of ours, although its narrative is
in figures.
We ought in justice to add that a dividend of
fifty per cont, has been declared upon all partici?
pating premiums on existing policies which were
issued twelve months prior to January 1,1867,
and the redemption of dividends declared in 1865,
on and after the first Monday in March next.-In?
surance and Real Estate Journal, New York.
A NEW STYLE OF GLASS.-The Newburgh Glass
Manufactory at Windsor, N. Y., has been organ?
ized for the manufacture of glass from an exten?
sive vein of ore suited to the purpose, near the
Hudeon. The glass is called rock-glass. The
works of this company were completed, and fires
started on the 7th inst., and ware is now being cast
with complete success. Thia discovery is one of
no littlo importance. The ore contains all the ele?
ments of glasB-yields 100 per cent., requires only
from five to fifteen per cent, of flux, and leaves no
dross. Aside from this element of value, it pro?
duces glass of very great elasticity and of un?
equalled compactness of grain. With very little
care an ordinary quart bottle can be used for driv?
ing nails, and visitors at the works take pleasure
in trying them in that manner. But it ie not
simply for the ordinary purposes for which glass
is used that thia discovery wdl evidently take rank.
The metal ia eaaily worked, and is susceptible of
the highest polish and ornamentation. Hence it
can be used for mantle-pieces, floor-tile, knobs,
handles, and a variety of purposes where clay is
now used, giving more durable and beautifid arti?
cles.
The Boston Journal says that "one object which
has induced our artists to go abroad is the supe?
riority of the marble. In the western part of this
State a quarry of marble has recently been opened
which for whiteness and quality is said to be un?
surpassed. Workmen in thia city speak of it as
quite equal to foreign marble for purposes of
sculpture."
