WASHINGTON, April 12.-In the Supreme Court, on motion to file the Mississippi Bul, the Chief Justice said that a motion to file a Bill waa usually granted as a matter of course, but if, - as was sug? gested, the Bill nhntairifl matter " scandalous or un? fit to comaJiefore "the Court, the Court examines it, or refers it to a master: In this coso the At tornoy-General objects to tho Bul as containing, matter unfit to bring before; the 'Court. That is the only point thntcan now be considered. ' Upon that point the Court. will first hear : the Attorney General. Mr. O'CONNOR announced hirnseif and associates in attendance, should it be decided to argue both 1 Bills. The Attorney-General ? dd the Georgia Bill ; lacked the point in which he proposed to oppose! the filing of tho Mississippi Bill The Mississippi \ Bill was rh a legal sense scandalous, os it proposed to make the President a defendant before the Court. .3=- . . Mr. SHARKEY said he had amended the Bill so as to proceed against the President as a citizen of Tennessee. Attorney-General STANSBURY read portions' of the B?i, claiming that it was manifestly against the President as President. He alluded to a pro? cess somewhat similar used against Mr. JEFFER? SON. In the BTRT> trial, Mr. ?JEFFERSON did not obey, or even notice the process. As an officer, he should advise the President to disregard the sub? poena, and traced the result should the Court re? sist and the President romain firm. Tho Court, to maintain its dignity, would have to imprison the President for contempt. He maintained that, equally with the Kings of England, the President ?as exempt from proceedings of this kind. He could only be brought before the Bar of the Senate after impeachment. The Courts could punish him for acts committed while President, but he was beyond their jurisdic? tion while occupying that chair. He also main? tained that the action was against the. United States Government as much so as if that: Govern? ment were named. . He announced that he appear? ed at the request of the President, who, when the Bills were passed over his veto, ibero was but one duty, in his estimation, resting upon bim-that was, faithfully to carry out and execute those laws. ?

I made an allusion to Oto unprecedented rise in rents here, and the extreme difficulty in pro? curing eligible unfurnished bouses, except at the most unreasonably exorbitant figures. It had been confidently hoped and expected that as the month of April advanced, and tba first of May the great moving day-grew nearer and nearer at hand, tho landlords, fearful of having their houses loft untenanted, would yield gracefully, and lower their high notions and high rents at the same time; but life is made up of disappointments and miscalculations, and these are of them; for the ovil is unabated, and the house-rent panic (I mean panic among the pay-rental class) grows with its growth. In yesterday's Herald on advertisement appeared of a desirable house to rent, in a good location, Thirty-Sixth street, near Sixth avenne, price only $1200; and applicants therefor were in? vited to call at the residence of the advertiser, bdtween the hours of 9 and ll in the morning. I fear your rc dors maj suspect me of exaggeration when I assure them that this little notice created moro excitement among certain classes here than' would havo been produced by the announcement that tho Supreme Court had given a decision against tho constitutionality of the Reconstruction Act. I can only say- in reply that. the circum? stance I am about to relate is founded strictly on fact, and will leave the facts to speak for them? selves. At the appointed hour MOULTRIE found himself at the scene of action, haying gono thero not officially as your correspondent,-but yet c faci? ally in another capacity, viz : That of a house seeker, acting in behalf of an about-to-be house? less friend. If the man hod advertised to give out gold in exchange for ex-Confederate currency, tho house could not have been moreicrowd?d with cager applicants ; the parlor was lilied with ladies, tho, passage-way was crowded-there was a perfect jam outside and around the entrance, and, in fact, it was almost impossible to get inside tho house. MOULTRIE, however, wedged bis way in'to see ibo fun. At nine o'clock the gentleman made .bis ap? pearance, lite a Mayor at his court, and announced that he. would first give an audience to tho lady, who ho had been informed-'by bis servant (who wore'white gloves) bad been waiting patiently since seven o'clock; The patient lady was recoivod in a room adjoining the crowded parlor, then an? other lady, then another still, each one marching in in a post office stylo. Tho crowd, however, grew impatient < and made a rush for tho private room; whereupon the gentleman came forward like a can? didate for a public office and addressed them all collectively. He began by stating that the house hos no yard, whereupon about a dozen of tho ladies wore seen to disappear suddenly. Next he slated that some of the rooms were rather small, then added in a kind of parenthotc style, that there was a mistake in the advertisement as to tho oxact locality in which the bouse is situated, and concluded bis address by remarking .that be re? gretted to state that better-half being indisposed he himself was indisposed to eb ow thc house to each or any ot the assembled multitude till some time next week. To describe the scene that en? sued at the termination of this oration is almost impossible. Noses were turned ao contemptuously (some of .them tantalizingly pretty noses) that they seemed determined to remain up .Uko the j rente. A rush was made for tho door, your cor-j respondent being tho first one out, and the house was soon vacated by those who will have tb vacate ! their own houses before the first of .May, or stand the raise in their rents and accept the situation that they cannot better-except by taking a house in an up-town situation, and moving up to some point between 80th and 130th streets, the terminus of Third Avenue Railroad, and aride of. one hour and twenty minutes from .the City Hall -Park.: - Some little excitement bas been created here by the arrival of the Great Eastern; not, however., from aiiV diadre to w?mj??fichtetdun:.for:tbe cen?? is curiosity bas been gratified, on that poin? on two occasions (in 1860and 1862), but because many bad feared that she had gone to bottom, as she crossed the ocean in quite a leisurely and digni? fied style, taking fourteen; d*ys .from port to port, ^The Great Eastern may be-in fact is-the largest and bandsomest'steamship.afioat, yet, should I ever have occasion to go across the water j uncoupled with a desire to go under, I would prefer embark? ing in a smaller craft. ' '' . I.haye hitherto purposely avoided any allusion to the outrageous crusade against a class of people whom, spite of religious (or rather irrehgious) pre? judice, we cannot but respect, by such of tho Insur? ance Companies as claim to havo suffered by taking what they-are pleased to call "Jew risks;" but as the. er -itement bas bsen resumed, andas there aro no less than sixty thousand Israelites hero who protest against tho bose calumny, my duty as a' correspondent induces me at least to give the facts as they are. A card: has been published in. the Herald, which, it is supposed, emanates from one of the Insurance Agents, reiterating the charges and attempting to substantiate the truth (?) thereof; wherefore, an indignation meet? ing is to be held on Monday next, in which many of the wealthiest and most respectable Jewish merchants and capitalists will take part. No less than sixty of the largest'and oldest' Insurance Companies bi.the United States have made state? ments giving the lie unqualified and direit to these - ridiculous charges; bnt, nevertheless, tbs .lie hue " taken root in all directions, "proving that' though truth be mighty it will not always prevail,'and that tho seeds of falsehood, planted in tho soil of pre? judice, and. tvatered by the hand of. ignorance, ?wfil spring up with a groodly crop (or a badly crop) of lies; :' AuocsT BELMONT'S gallery of paintings-per? haps, the finest private collection in this city-will be thrown open iii a few days for public inspec? tion, the price of admittance being placed at one dollar, the proceeds to be handed over 'to the Ladies' Southern Relief Fund. A. T. STEWART'S dry gooda establishment on Broadway, at the corner ol Tenth street, is to be enlarged, to about Biz tim ea its present size. It will extend through to Fourth avenue, and will cover an area of on acre and a quarter of ground. In one of my letters published several months ago; I gave an account of a now invention, a mag? netic light, with such brilliancy as to admit of one's reading ordinary print ata distance of a quarter of a mile from the fight, and I predicted that it would soon come into general use hero. My prediction will probably soon be verified, os the thing bas been thoroughly tested and found to be all that 'is claimed, for it. The light ls .so in? tense that ii tem fuse a piece oj?meUUJidd at n(dis? tance of fifly yard? therefrom, and for photograph purposes it is superior to the light of the sun iteehV The Chariest, rresDondent of the Herald in? forms its reade that South Carolinians are Hot only, repentant, but that if the Radical party "would act generously, modify the iron-clad oath," Sec., that all who have been bad boys will not only be good boys to Uncle Sam, bat will throw their Northam Democratic friends overboard, and that " the Radical party will carry South Carolina almost unanimously for their candidate for the next Presidency." Tho correspondent does not give this opinion as bis own exactly, but tells us that it is the opinion of "many.'' South Carolina unanimous for a Radical candidate 11 O t?mpora, O mores U , MOULTRIE. . THE ? IGHT TN THE RICHMOND CUSTOM HOUSE.--, The Herald's Bichmo. d correspondent gives the following account of the rough and tumble between the Hon. Mr. Segar and the Collector of this part, in the Custom House tho other day : Tho variations of the day's amusement com? menced with an interesting checking match be? tween the Hon. Joseph Segar and Mr. James, tho Collector in Richmond, which was brought about by a demand on the. part of tho former for certain over-assosr.cd monies beloutring to citizens, which had been ordered to be refunded by the Secretary of the Tr?a?riry, Mi. Segar, representing these parties, presented a power of attorney to Mr. James, consisting of riaim? . of sixty-six poraons, amounting to some' $4080 and demanded payment. Mr. James examined tbe paper, made some objection, and not only re fused to pay, but by a flank movement subsequents ; ly obtained possession of the paper and secreted it upon his person. Segar, seeing he oould notget the money, demanded the paper, but without suc? cess, whon bs seized James by"the rolUr.--a.rid shook him violently. James still obstinately re? fused to givo up the paper, when ^gar. releasing hold of his collar, seized him by the throat, and Sat a timo thara was a pcssib?tt.y oi tho department being minus a collector, when a third party inter? posed in tho per?^n of a Mr. Smith, who separated tho belligerents ?ndpU fi?ed himself for the return , of the document- typo 'this assurance Mr. Segar returned to his betel, Kt up to the present time tho document has not been returned. CHARLESTON, S. C THE COLORKD SCHOOLS OF CHARUBS TOIf. The negro has boon emancipated from slavery ; been endowed with civil rights by Congress and the Legislature of tho State ; and more recently still he hos hod tbe greatest - boon of a freeman conferred upon bim--a right to a Voice in-tho af? fairs or the State and nation. In order to a proper and salutary exercise of these newly acquired pri? vileges, it is all important that his actions should be directed by intelligonce. Owing to circumstan? ces over which ho had no controL'the negro to-day is ignorant and' uneducated. He sees tbe- white man around bim occupy a social position superior to Iris own and he naturally ascribes it to the fact of tho greater advantage's ot education be basen-. I joyed. Accordingly wo find, throughout tho South, wherever the negroes-hare'become .thoroughly alive to their newly acquired political importance, a great, almost universal desire for " education." Of course, their ideas on the subject are vague, and not unfreqnently, erroneous. They expect impossi? bilities. They have not yet learned that silk purses cannot be made out of every kind of material. Thu s we not unfrequently soe great.-uncou?h, unclean I girls, eighteen and twenty years old, as far as age can bo judged from looks,-the very beau ideal of an old-style plantation hand, ' sitting unhappily on a hard bench in the school room, thumbing, soil? ing and dog-earing an unfortunate WEBSTER'S spelling book; learning nothing, and certainly not onjoying their idlehess;for being Bhut up for hours in a hot and crowded school room, and sitting pu j a hard and narrow bench, is no fun, even to a ne? gro, who bad been accustomed to regular work in the open air. This class of students, as a general thing, do not rem?m long at school; - their mo? thers soon, becoming weary of maintaining?them in idleness, while they themselves are engaged jin hard work, and, unless the scholar shows a special | aptness for "book learning," arid is likely to ''take an education," tbe attempt is soon abandoned. This, of course, has reference more especially -td ' those born on the plantations, who have emigrated to tho city within the post two years. There are two large schools hore, devoted to the furtherance of the-cause of education I among the colored people of the city. One, tbe SAXTON School, is in the Military Hall, in Wedt^ j worth street, the same which last year occupied the Normal School building in St. Philip street, in charge of Kev. P. L. CARDOZO. The other, in charge of Mr. AUTHUR SUMNER, is in the Morris Street School building. The latter being tho older of-the two, wc shall speak of it first. ! . The Morris Street School, built by the' Board bf Commissioners of Free Schools, of this city, a few years before the war, was .opened for the reception of colored-cb?dien in Marchj'looo. ""There are' about 850 names on the rolls, - average attendance ? being 607, or 77 per centum. The Principal of this School is aided in his labors by 16 assistants, 13 of whom aro-'white and'3(.colored ; 5 of the teachers aro from 'the-North.';.The .number enrolled fqr Morcb -tras '78o-^^ ;grr?s:'ahd 333 boys.

"As a general thing,*-says" Mr. SUMNER, in a ra j cent lotter, published in the Boston Transcript, 'all that these children know of' the aforesaid j parts of science has been acquired since the 14th : pf March, 1865. Those who have attended con? stantly have had twenty months of schooling'. Bat they range all the way down to ono month. I believe that most of the very best scholars coul? read a little (some of them pretty wau) when !thb Union came in.' - Bat very many who are now in the Third, and some who aro in thc 4th Reader; did not know their letters a year ago. Of Arithmetic, -Writing and Geography,-they wore, aim o st with? out exception, totally ignorant;" - ' -We rtavn^-wjrlv .VTOteflT'thio 'fi.-V-inl "ktMLmui testily to the proficiencyiof some of tho pupils in reading, mental arithmetic, and even in writing. ] Grammar, it appears, is not studied, and Geography very tittle, because these studies are not considered necessary to the greater number of the rising freedmen. Wo said some'of the pupils read well ; this we must qualify, however. They have been pretty well drilled in the rules ; enun? ciate distinctly, and read with some expression, or what must bc. considered its semblance ; for real expression there can be none, when the reader docs not understand]the subject.be is reading : about ; and this, with scarcely a single exception^ is the case with all the best readers even wsjfouhd in our visits to both the colored schools. lit may? be we expect . impossibilities, and look for sprightliness.and general inteUigence, where, from tbe nature of - the case,,they cannot, at least for some years, ba reasonably expected. The "Saxton School," now at the Military Hall,': was established-October 1, 1385, in the 'Normal, ? School Building : Rev. F. L. CABDOZO, Principal, i assisted by a corps- of twenty teachers, ton of whom were colored natives-seven females andi three males-the other ten white female "teachers j from the -North.;; During tho term ' cf 1865-'66: there were one thousand scholars on the rolls. :The j school was graded into three departments-after the system prevailing in tho caramon schools through out the North-Primary-, Intermediate and Glam-: mar. : There was a farther division of the scholars ', into - twenty class es-two in the Gram m ar. Depart- i merit, six in the Intermediate, and twelve in tho 1 Primary. . The present term commenced on the ' first ot October, 1860, and (viii close on the, 30th of June. The Principal is assisted tins term by four? teen teachers-eight ot whom are colored natives, six females and two males;' and six whifej feroales from the North. There aro eight hundred and j fifty pupils registered this term, divided into four? teen classes, two in the Grammar, six in the Inter I mediate and six in the Primary Department.'' The books are purchased direct from .the pub? lishers, and the scholars pay for them when -they are 'able, and when too poor to pay, they receive them gratis. -The average attendance daring the first term wss>about 84 per cent.; and during the present term, thus far, it has been" about 75 per cont. The proportion of freedmen to those who were free before the war, among the scholars of this school,' is about three to one. The number of those of pure African descent and of'mixed blood is about equal. AH the scholars, we are informed by the Principal, are making most creditabla pro? gress ; though we must confess, in all candor, that this is not very obvious. Still it may be so, aa the Principal hos bettor means for judging than an occasional visitor can possibly have. Three- of the most advanced boys have been sent to Oberlin Col? lege, in Ohio, wo believe, to receive a collegiate ' education, the expensa being defrayed: byi three j Northern gentlemen. . .-i??k? ni The* school is supported by. the American Mis? sionary Association of New York. The*';co8t*,0f each scholar' is about ono dollar per month, .at. which amount nearly one-eighth is contributed by the scholars.' We axe requested to state thai '. Visitors are welcomed to this school at all times; -and that there w?l bo a public 'examination, bf tho' '.school in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Went? worth street, opposite the MihUary Hall^buThurs^' i' day'sftefoopajhest^^ I three o'clock, ? ? , ,. ^ The singing'. is very ' good -in alltbese schools; j sometimes perhaps & little too. loud; but .thst is easily, corrected. > There aro two points; however, to which we reluctantly call attention, in which it I seems to ns these schools do nbt show io the same 'advantage this year ss they did. twelve' months ago. The children ara rule are neither clean nor tidy. True, in tho condition of life, to which moat of them belong, il cannot bs expected that they should be finely dressed; wear their Sunday clothes every day, or come with elaborate toilets; hut-it ia within tho power ot every good teacher to hive bis of her childr?n corde tb. school neat and clean. We db not like iq say what 4-?Vbe unpleasant either to the teachers or 'to-the parents; but cleanliness" is' Che first lesson in education, as there can bo no self-respect without it; And; therefore, no healthy ambition. - Th? other fault wo und, sw irls-akin to-the first, is-that the-deportment of the chudren in the-class-room is not whaitef had expected. There re' more' 'hstiesshesS -thah .we.'.'iBaw' on our visits last year; it may be because the charm"of j novelty ha? passed, away; oornmemontbecomes irksome, and going "to'school begins to look too much Uko work; Or it may be -that tho teachers, ssy of stemmisg the current, har* r?Jaxed their I vigilance or abated their energy; and succuraood ; to the irresjstibte Joros cf old negro habits. The J task of these' teachers ia shard and thankless one; j and we regret exceedingly to bo compollod "by j truth to say ono word -that looks like blame, or U&ATIJRD?Y MORNING, that could tend to discourage them in their ardu? ous work. '." Tho Morris street School, wo should have men? tioned above, is supported by tho Now England Freedmen's Union Commission. Mr. .SUJINER, the Principal,' in bis letter to the Boston Transcript. gives tho following account of theprogress of his advanced scholars in the art of thinking, and of giving expression to their ideas : ' "In writing, about one-half (little ones and new scholars) are using slates; tho others are in copy? books-from book No", f to No. 8. Tio more ad? vanced classes write letters and compositions. Their letters, I am forced to confess, aro chiefly upon ono theme-tho superior, nay, the adorable qualities of their instructors. One girflately finish? ed a letter to her teacher thus : 'Goodbye, my dear, loving teacher, you sweet little sugar plum.' I saw upon che blackboard a day or two ago : 'I love my teacher because she is good, and she loves me because 1 am good and always does right.' " There are, besides these two large public schools, several small private colored schools in this city, which, however, we have not visited. 'The'G?ri?an Treaties. HOW -THE PRUSSIAN AB RANGEMENTS WTTH THE SOUTHERN STATES ' WEBE BROUGHT ABOUT. A Heidelberg correspondent furnishes tho sub? joined particulars relative to the treaties between Prussia and the Southern' States: The constitution of a Southern Confederation was to be prevented at any cost, SB it wonld have been an obstacle to tho projects of Prussia. If the Sudbund had Boen tho light,: its conditions of ? existence wonld have been regulated by a Parliament which certainly would not have admitted the Prussian military system, but would, on- the. contrary, .have adopted a plan similar to that bf the Swiss national militia. Instead of an offensive and defensivo alliance with the house of Hohenzollern, it would have pro? nounced for an armed neutrality. Bat the most important point for Count Bismarck was to have at his disposal, at any given moment, the military resources of tho German States on the loft bank of the Main. . Ho, therefor o, lost - no-time, but pro? fited by. the presence i at Borhn of the foreign Min? isters of the Southern States to nogotiato not only terms of peaco, bnt also treaties of alliance, offen- ! sivo and defensive.. Baden-had already been won over ; but, under piin of a chock, there was a nc 1 cessity for gaining Bavaria also," os her adhesion would produce that of Wurtemburg and of the Grand Duchy of Hesse. At that, moment there arose all of a sudden those famous demands by France, of territorial compensation which have been repeatedly spoken of in tho press, bat never in the tribune of the legislative body. According to tho Berlin Be vi cw, Napoleon TTT. set up no pretension to encroach on the Prussian territory; he claims Rhenish Bavaria and Rhenish Hesse. If these demands had not obtained the result expected in Paris, they brought an unhoped-for succor to Count Bismarck. "Be? ing communicated," that publication states, "to the Bavarian plenipotentiary, they led' to an immediate understanding. Nevertheless, Baron vpn- der Piortden, who was not in a- position to make a display of an alliance between Bavaria and Prussia, remained in office in order to con? ceal by bis, presence the game from tho distrustful glance of Austria, and from tho jealous eye of France.. When the pear was ripe,.that is to say, when the resistance -. of Wurterotrarg and of th?e Grand Duchy of Hesso was overcome in their tum. Baron von der Pfortden was ouabled^td retire and S've up his post to the Prince of Hohenlohe. This Uer person was charged to conduct the affair to a successful conclusion. Ministerial "conferences took place at Siutgardt. The Ministers of Foreign I Affairs and of War for Bavaria, Wurtemberg. Baden j and Hesse-Darmstadt, 'countersigned the act of Count Bismarch. Nevertheless, if I am to be I heve the information I have- received, tho treaties just published do hot "contain the whole extent of the stipulations. There is stu! .a supplementary article which it has bean thought proper to keop secret, in order not to bo obliged to submit the treaties to the approbation of the Chambers. The clause in question relates to the organization of an armed force. Count Bismarckdocs not .want mere soldiers; he wishes to have well drilled men, and [ he has therefore stipulated that the contingents of I the South should'' be reorganized on the model of tho Prussian army. And if any differences arose I at the conferences, they turned- only on a single ' point, namely, the sort of rifle that ought to be adopted. ... ; r Demoralization offXtavytL ' , [From the Xeto Torb Sum.?

Tho history of- Huvti '.since.tho jicgropopulation ob? tained its freedom hos been a series of sanguinary revolutions and civil wara, and the country, is probably in a worse condition now than ever .before. Tue negro leaders have never shown! themselves capable of agreeing upon or es? tablishing . anything like a sound, and sub? stantial government, lire and property have alviays been exceedingly .. insecure and the constant dangar of now revolutions hos tended to keep the country in a deplorable condition.; If the African rac? had any capacity for self-gov? ernment they have, tho best possible "opportunities of ; developing these talents in Hayti, where they have had things their own way for moro than . twenty years past. The trouble appears to be that their own way is a very disorderly and rebellious 'one.- They have gone backwards ia morals and education, and have attained proficiency in. none of the arts of civilization except that of war and. political.intrigue. Under then--own management their property and credit have alike deteriorated, in value, and tho nation'has made itself an object of pity to those who expected better things of the. race, and af ridicule to ' those .who understood them better?nd foresaw the result of the wild ex? periment of negro self-government.
