Mr. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, moved to amend the resolution by adding an instruction to the Reconstruction Committee to inquire into the expediency of authorizing the Gene? ral of the army to detail officers for service in said States, also to inquire into the expediency of constituting each State a separate military district under the command of the Geneial of the army, and also as to the expediency of providing additional legislation to secure the elective franchine to all, and also to declare, by act of Congress, that the provisional gov? ernments set up in said States by order of the acting President are not Republican forms of government.

Affairs in Alabama-Swayne Is Ii amp a gious and Fires a Parting Salute. MONTGOMERY, January C.-General Swayne kia issued an order suspending C. R. Hub? bard, Clerk of the Circuit Court, from the per? formance of the Montgomery County duties of his office. The reasons alleged for this sus? pension are that on Saturday a complaint was filed iu the clerk's office by John T. Morgan, attorney for a person named Frank Williams, who claimed $100,000 damages for his false im? prisonment by General Swayne at Selma. This imprisonment took place during last year. On the filing of the complaint, Mr. Hubbard issued a eummons commanding the sheriff to summon General Swayne to appeal- and answer the com? plaint of the said Wilhams. As it was thought that Swayne would leave the State on Sunday morning, Mr. Hubbard directed the sheriff, if General Swayne should not be ai headquar? ters, to serve tilt process upon bini at his pri? vate room. Thifi was done, and on Monday Mr. Hubbard was suspended. Great Fire in Texas. NEW OBLEANS, January C.-The whole of the business portion of Indianola, Texas, wa? de? stroyed by dre on the 3d.

FUNDES O OF THE COTTON TAX ADVOCATED. [Prom the New York Times, January 4,] The CHABLESTON DALLY NEWS publishes the outlines of certain schemes for affording relief to the So"them planters, which are said to be now under consi ierati on at Washington. Three, singled ont for special remark, are thus stated: 1. That Congress should authorize a loan of ' $30,000.000, tobo lent in small sunn to necessi? tous planters, tl ie loan to bear six per ceut. 1 l^?a^n&Jipu8^ I era, the loan to be distributed by local com. < missioners of aiiproved position ana standixlg. ' 2. That the government should lend the j Southern people an amount equal to the gross amount of revunue already received by the J United States fr Dm the cotton tax, the loan to : be secured, issued and distributed as under ' the first plan. ] 3. That the United States Government should sell the gold iii the National Treasury, in ex? cess of the sun required to meet current de? mands, and lend the premium realized by its ' sale to the Soi; th, upon the terms and in the manner before named. One of these plans-though which is not ' stated-is represented as having received the ! approval of Gen. Grant; and the President 1 and Chief Justice Chase are mentioned among ! others as favorable to the movement in which the proposition?, originated. It is, of course, difficult to dorise a plan 1 which shall be s t ouce satisfactory to the North ? and sufficient for the requirements of the South. What would serve the purposes of the \ planters and freedmen may be easily under? stood; they ueed provision.for present necessi? ties, together with means" to enable them to plant and cultivate the current year's crop. 1 But the States represented in Congress, being asked to furnish both these forms of assist- 1 ance, may bo expected to scrutinize closely any means designed to cover either charitable rehef or the business aid which presupposes a return of mont vs expended. And, looking at the subject in this fight, we are skeptical as to the chances of success which attach to any of the proposition s submitted by and in behalf of the South Carolinians. In the first place, the idea of a loan by the government to the planters is not an attractive one. Nearly all loans of a similar character have resulted in loss to the governments which have attempted to combine with their ordinary functions those of a banker and mortgagee. Advances on tl ie security of land and crops, to be safe, must te conducted according to sharp business fashion. Titles are to be investigat? ed and values estimated before a single step can be taken; payments must be made gradu? ally, with proper reference to expenditure on account of ere pa; and the whole transaction at every stage should be regulated by rigid business rules. On no other basis could a loan be justified. But howie the government to enforce strict adherence to them ? Of its in? ability to prevent losses arising irom the negli? gence, incapacity or dishonesty of its ser? vants, we have recently had too many proofs; and there is no reason for supposing that a S out ieru loan would be exempt from the sane experiences. Expenditures are tapped ty jobbery or peculation, and collections by lazyness and robbery; and an af? fair involving both payments and collections amounting to ?530,000,000 would certainly eud in a heavy loss to the Treasury. All the proba? bilities point to this conclusion. The land of? fered as security at this moment has no known value; its market value is merely nomi? nal; and the sum which a prudent mortgagee would lend, b ?ing governed by appraised or salable worth, would fall far short of the plant? ers'requirements for the year. So also with regard'to the crops. Everyman lending his own money would be guided in his payment? by the progress of the crops, and as a matter of prudence would leave a wide margin for contin Sencies. He would remember at every step hat the mort ra gor might be unable to meet his engagements; in which caso there would be no alternative but an extension of time or foreclosure and hurried salo. What would bo the fate of governmont as a mortgagee in cases like this ? W"hat disposal could it make of plantations acquired by foreclosure; or what satisfactory arrangement with planten, whose crops may ags.in bo unprofitable V If it be objected that cloee calculation should not enter into a plan into which considerations of feeling largely enter, v?d reply that a loan sought with au air of business pretension can? not be exemp *d from business rules. A plain application f >r help, without reference to re? payment, we could understand; but when it comes in tho shape of a proposal to borrow thirty millions, we are bound to look at the likelihood on the part of the borrowers of ful? filling the 8pi.'ci?ed conditions. On this ground we think thst government, as trustee for the people, cannot safely lend the money asked for; and on ajy other ground we aro sure that government cannot properly lend at all. The proposal to intrust the distribution of the money tc "local commissioners of approved position and standing" does not improve tho aspect of th s case. The advice andcoopera tion of such men would be valuable, but politi? cal considerations will, in.the majority of in? stances, suffice to prevent their appointment as agenta for the conduct of government business or as almoners of its bounty. Aside Iron: the general weakness of the loan? ing scheme, there are evident reasons for re? jecting the second of the plans reported by the Charleston journalist, A loan to the cotton planters to an amount corresponding with the taxes they have respectively paid on their crops might be urged with a certain degree of fairness. But a loan to the South generally, regulated by the taxation paid by a single class of it? citizens, would be too capricious to be just. The third plan has no claim to favorable attention. How much gold the Treasury shall accumulate, and what shall be done with its surplus, if any, are queutions with which Con gross is oxpected to deal on their merita. Aid for the South has no connection with the policy to be adopted for the adjustment of financial difficulties, and none with the points at issue between the Secretary and Congress. Altogether, these Charleston schemes are not calculated to impress the country favora? bly as to the reasonableness or practicability of the Southern ideas on the subject of assistance. Prominent offioials may have spoken approv? ingly of one or another of them, but we an? ticipate little encouragement for any on the floor of Congress. We have not a very lofty opinion of the wisdom of that body, but it is hardly uuwise enough to sanction the scheme of a loan projected with so slight an appear? ance of security or so likely to open the dour to waste and fraud. This view, however, does not imply indifference to the necessities of the South, or the duty of Congress to render immediate relief in a manner combining econo I my and justice with efficiency and humanity. Actual distress may, perhaps^ be most quickly met through the instrumentality of the Preed men*s Bureau, whose facilities for the distri? bution of food insure the mitigation of misery among the blacks. If on official inquiry the want be found to be more general or more lasting than comports with simple charity, the same agency may usefully be employed to arrange for the freedmen's necessities and to tako as security for repayment a lien upon their share of the crops they cultivate. With respect to the cotton planters, we renew the suggestion made some days ago-that they bo refunded the amount of tho cotton tax they severally paid on the last crop, not as a loan, but as assistance which is vs arran ted by the acknowledged influence of the tax in repress? ing cultivation and rendering it unprofitable. Th<) imposition of the tax is now admitted to have been a blunder, and there would be no impropriety in coupling with its repeal a re? turn to the planters of the amount which helped to swell their last year's losses.

A Washington dispatch (Jan. 3) to the New York Times says: In forwarding to General Grant the reports of Generals Ord, Hancock, Gillern, Scott and others, rotative to the destitution and Butler? ing at the South, Gen. Howard makes an in? dorsement in substance as follows: That since his annual report the tone of his communica? tions from all points has changed; the sudden fail in the price of cotton, and the failure of the crop in large sections where good crops were expected, caused by heavy rains and the cater? pillar, have produced great depression, anxiety and apprehension, lt is generally believed there will be great distress from want of food in portions of Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, and in small sections of other States, before the close of winter, and that relief in some shape must be furnished to prevent the anarchy that may be apprehended. Gen. Howard calls the especial attention of Gen? eral Cirant to these reporta, and recom? mends that the attention of the President and Congress be called to them, with a view to secure some thorough and practical mode of relief, that will not have a tendency to pauper? ize the people. It is suggested that if a fund could be established from which employees might draw on paying a reasonable interest, it might afford temporary if not permanent relief. General Canby favors this, or the issue of pro? visions with a hon upon the crops. Mr. Wil? liam Whale}', of South Carolina, recommends a loan of $30,000,000, to be secured by bond and mortsrage and other security. Generals Ord md Hancock suggest the repairing of the le- ' ?[gen ?rtd the issue of rations, io those ompjoy- J pared to'suggest any complete* method ot re ief or offer any detailed plan. He is fully ! iware that certain politicians bave taken ad rantage of the suffering in regions where des- 1 ;itution prevails to further their own peculiar 1 news or interests. They are trying to reduce ' ;he price of labor to board, merely to get con- ! .roi of tboso who are thus impoverished, and 1 JO check or hinder the exercise of the rights of j ?he lauer as citizens. Nevertheless General Howard recommends a thorough consideration of the subject present? ed, with a view to prevent evils that are feared ind predicted by so many witnesses. It should be stated in this connection that orders were sent several weeks ago to the officers of the Freedmen's Bureau, to relieve all pressing dis? tress, and this week further orders have been sent to Generals Ord and Scott to buy corn ind distribute the same if necessary. There is good ground for the belief, however, that much of the suffering is prospectivo rather than present, and the belief is further enter? tained at the War Department that its extent is considerably exaggerated. Most of the army officers on duty in the Freedmen's Bureau, mustered out on the first instant, who were effi? cient and necessary to thu administration of itu affairs in the South, will be retained as civilian agents under appointment from the Bureau. The appointments will be governed by the Assistant Commissioners or military officers in command of the district, who will state the number of agents necessary, aud proper persons to be appointed. These ap? pointments will be made under section four of tho act of July IC, 1866, authorizing the com? missioners to make such appointments. GENERAL MEADE'S POLICY. General Meade will be hero to-morrow to confer with tho President aud General Grant, before proceeding to Atlanta, Georgia, to as? sume command of the Fourth Military District. It is generally agreed that the President has requested Goneral Meade to follow np tho new pohev inaugurated by General Hancock, but the friends of Meade claim that he will do nothing of the kind. STANTON'S CASE. Although Senator Howard, as Chairman of the Military Committee, has prepared a report sustaining ex-Secretary Stanton from the charges preferred against him under the Civil Tenure act by the President, it is not true that the committee have adopted the report for pre? sentation to the Senate. The committee will hold their second meetiug on the subject next week, mid decide the matter. Mr. Soward maintains that Stanton has fully answered all of the charges brought against him by the Executive. It is stated, by parties who claim to be well informed in relation to General Grant's ideas on this subject, that the latter will, in case of the Senate sustaining Stanton, immediately retire from the War Office, assum? ing that tho law forbids him pursuing auy other course. THE STATUS OF TUE SOUTU. A dispatch to the New York Tribuno says : It is stated here on good authority that the President intends soon tu issue a proclamation to the white people in the Southoru States ad? vising them to send delegates to tho approach? ing National Convention. A uumber of promi? nent Democratic politicians have been urging this matter for some time past. They aro tho same persons who supported and helped him in the famous Hancock message. It has not yet been decided iu what form to make the contemplated proclamation, lt is likely that the President will run it in with some of his communications to Congress. This matter is creating quite a stir among Democratic politi? cians. Many of them are opposed to it, and say it is a dodge of Johnson to aid the niove meut to make Hancock his successor. Those who are pushing this schenib say that if tho Southern States send detonates to the Demo? cratic Convention they will be compelled to ad? mit them or ab?ndern tho platform that theso States are now in tho Union. It is tho chief topic of talk among tho Democratic politicians, who seem to think that the South will havo tho balance of power in tLo convention, and that their votes aro worthy being looked after. DESTITUTION AT THE SOUTU. The correspondent of tho New York Com? mercial Advertiser (Republican) writes: President Johnson bas assured Governor Sharkey that he will send to Congress, next week, a mossage ou the suffering now preva? lent at the South, and will ask such legislation as will grant speedy relief. There is good rea? son for Believing that a largo majority of the Senators and of the Representatives will cheer? fully co-operato in relieving the distress, aud in preventing doaths by famine. Proper relief will do much to aid the desirable work ol' re? construction, and to reunite the Southern people to the Union. THE WRONGS OF IRELAND. Gladstone on Ireland-What ought to be England'? Policy toward the Irish People-The Most Important Political Question ot the Day. In a speech at Southport, England, on the 19th alt., Mr. Gladstone discussed Fenianism, the wrongs of Ireland, and the remedies for these wrongs. We quote a few passages : It is, to say the very least, a matter of the utmost sadness to consider that, after six hun? dred years of political connection between England and Ireland, that Union of heart and spirit which is absolutely necessary for the welfare of the country has not yet been brought about. It is impossible to exaggerate the grav? ity of the face, or, I may add, the gravity of the responsibilities which it brings upon the gov? ernment of this country; and, gentlemen, when I say upon the government of this country, I use that expression because in former times the influence of the people on the direction of Eublic policy, although for many purposes it as always hod great weight, was far from j being unanimous and united, i Past history teaches us that there is a mar? vellous power of enchantment ia the promoting of just and fair dealing. I would not for a moment listen to any plea whatever for separate institutions and a sepa? rate policy for England, or for Scotland, or Ireland ; but this I venture to say, that in all matters except that no man ought to be able to say that any one of these three countries is governed according to the traditions, the views and the ideas of another. We have not in Ireland that degree and amount of active loyalty to and respect for the law which is necessary in order to constitute a thoroughly well-ordered and united communi? ty. And we have thia painful circumstance, that while large portions of the Irish popula? tion from year to year have left the shores of the country to pursue their fortunes in a for? eign land, they have carried with them along with a patient and tender attachment to the soil, something that almost might be described as a fierce resentment, an inextinguishable aversion to the authority, the government, and the institutions of the country; and for my Fart, gentlemen, I own I am not satisfied when hear people say : " Yes, that is so, but it is because they are so unreasonable." Well, they may be nu reasonable-we are all unreasonable, more or less-we are all unreasonable, espe? cially when we have suffered wrong.j We must satisfy ourselves that as regards thosa causes of legislation which bear upon the permanent condition of a people we have Bet ourselves in the right. What we want is that those sympathies in Ireland which now hang and float bewildered between law and lawless? ness shall be brought into active alliance with it; what we want is to have Ireland like Scot? land, so that at last, and after all these gene? rations, we may be enabled, instead of hearing in every corner of Europe the most painful commentaries upon the policy of England to? ward Ireland-we may be able to look our fellow-Europeans of every nation in the face and challenge any of them to deny that we have administered to tho sister islands the full benefit of the principle of equal justice. Old and inveterate diseases are not to be cured in a day. You must be prepared for a long and patient well-doing toward Ireland up to the full bond of reason and justice, though not one jot be? yond them, if you wish to obtain ultimately for yourselves or for your children that end for which I never despair, viz: of redeeming the reproach of total political incapacity to assimi? late to ourselves an island within three hours of our shores, and which has been under our dominating influence now for six hundred ?ears, but I believe myself that in the case of roland there is much even in the method of treatment as distinguished from the substance of measures in kindness, in sympathy, in re? cognition, in equality, iii frank union, in all where we can unite, that will of themselves have a great effect in Ireland; and one thing I will sav I will not do-I will not be a party to endeavor to bribe Ireland into union with this DOuntryby the mere vulgar expedient of doses "UD6 Or ino great uitugu, um> w_ of all we have in view is this, we wislTto raise Ireland to the dignity of perfect political free? dom and the sense of responsibility which at? tends it ; but you cannot raise Ireland to that dignity of political freedom, if you seek to de? press her spirit and to fix for her a servile po? sition by doing for her in matten' of public money that which you would refuse to the citi? zens of countries of whose public apirit and self-respect yon have formed a high estimate. One word, and one only, on the subject of a Parliamentary reform in the representation of Ireland, because that, I am bound to say, I take it for granted. I make no donbt, looking at the declarations of the government and pro [mety of the case, that we shall have for Lre and a measure of reform not less equitable and liberal in its spirit than that which has been passed for England, and I hope more free from particular provisions than are open to reason? able exceptions. There is still another matter that cannot be omitted-it is the state of the religious institu? tions of Ireland. You have got a small portion of Ireland hold? ing that form of belief, which is, I apprehend, the belief of the majority iu England, and, therefore, the English ideas and opinions in favor of the English form of Government are carried into ireland, and the national endow? ments of the country are given exclusively to thu religion of a small number of persons, comprising among themselves almost the whole wealth of the country, while the multi? tude or the poor of the country are left to shift for themselves-that is to say, religious ine ?iuality exists iu Ireland in its most glaring orin. Now, gentlemen, we would not endure that in our country. If there were a Kornau Catholic country, with a dominant Roman Catholic majority, endeavoring to enforce upon us the simple converse of that which we on force.upon Ireland, to apply against us the principle we now apply against them, I ask you whether we should patiently bear it or not. No, gentlemen, we should not bear it. SAD SUICIDE OF A DESERTED WIPE.-A pain? ful sensation was created among the boarders at tho Wetmore House, New York, on Thurs? day morning, by the suicide of a lady, Mrs. J. Priest, who bad been employed for a few days past as the cashier of the establishment. A bottle, partly filled with laudanum, and some opium lying by her side told the story. The lady was from New Orleans, and had but re? cently come to New York. Several letters were found in her trunk, from which it would appear that she had been for some time sepa? rated from her husband, and had come to New York to procure the means of livelihood. The following letter is supposed to have been ad? dressed to ber husband : I "December 31.-Dear, dear Si: When you get this I am no more. All 1 askod for in this world was your love; it was denied me. Yon have cast mo from you as you would a dog. I cannot livo without you; my heart is broken. I have loft yourifamily pictures and your slippers with Annie Ashniun. If you wish, you can writo to her, and she will give you further par? ticulars. May you be happy, aud remember your cvcr-Ioving but heart-broken MILLIE." Another letter, addressed to the Annie Ash? niun, 42 Jane-street, alluded to above, reads as follows: "When I saw you yesterday, you lit? tle supposed that it was the last time you would fook upon me. When you said I looked pale, I intended to tell you, but my heart fail? ed me. I was discharged this morning, but dear Annie, it is uot my fault. I have tried to do my best. I wish my husband to think of times when I was happy-yes, I was very hap? py once, but I have beeu a heart-broken wo? man for a long time. Tell my husband I for? give him, and love him as much as ever." FATAH AFFBAY IN FLORIDA.-On Christmas day, while a largo number of persons were on the street, Mr. George W. Gelzer, an old and well known citizen or Jefferson County, and formerly from South Carolina, was shot and instantly killed in Monticello, Florida, by Richard High to wer, a young man, and also a citizen of the county. The parties had quar? relled on the day previous, and Hightower was on this day seen on the streets with a pistol. Mr. Gelzer approached Hightower, who was mounted on Ins horse, and after a few angry words took Hightower by the arm. Intbis po? sition, with the pistol almost touching him, Hightower fired three shots, each taking ef? fect, and one in the left breast, which caused his death almost instantly. Hightower made good his escape, but it is thought that he will be overtaken and brought back to Monticello. -For four months the Great Eastern steam? ship has been lying wholly idle in the Mersey, though incurring expense and becoming less valuable all the time, FOREIGN SUMMARY.

Cauby has not been timid in exercising the authority given him by those so-styled re? construction acts, which have converted the whole South into a military satrapy; and, dan? gerous as it is and must be to vest in one man tbe power of determining the manner in which the lives and properties of the people of a H tato of the.Union are to be cared for or protected, it must be admitted that, in some of his ac? tions, Gen. Canby bas shown a liberal and comprehensive spirit, which is worthy of imi? tation in those districts where power is used only for the purpose of tyranny and oppres? sion. It has for years boen a subject of complaint that Charleston, the metropolis of South Caro? lina, bas bad to bear far more than her just proportion of the taxation of the State. This arose from the fact that in the city real estate was taxed at about its value, while in the coun? try the bare land was taxed at a nominal rate, while the improvements upon it, however val? uable, were in no way included, lu the State Legislature the country represe atation was so powerful that this unjust condition of things could not be changed. But the pen of the mili? tary commander has been more potent than the voice of the representatives of Charleston, and in the tax bill arranged by Gen. Canby for the Coming year.every acre and foot of land, with the. improvements upon it, will be taxed according to its marketable value This section of the ni iL t arv tax order hos given general satisfac? tion in the State, and that satisfaction has been increased by the fact that the rates of taxation generally have been lowered in such a manner os to encourage trade and foster the ?rowth of commercial business. General Can y Las also done well in decreasing the tax upon the gross receipts of newspapers in the State; and there is every indication that it is his determination not to attempt to crush by taxation those organs of public opinion which are working for the maintenance of peace in the Sonth, and which, at the best, return to their conductors but a meagre return for the incessant care and attention which they re? quire.-New York Sunday News. A HOIIBIBLL CANNIBAL STOHY.-A horrible tragedy is reported from the Island of Fiji, South Seas. Tho Rev. Thomas Baker, with an assistant missionary and six native teachers, went to visit some inland tribes, and he and his party wore brutally murdered by one of the tribes, who are described as the most confirmed cannibals. The writer says : "In this town (Longtown) there lives a notorious cannibal, with whom I had a little conversation. Ide pointed me to a pile of lmmt-.n bones in the fork of an orange tree under which we were sitting, and assured me that he had eaten the men of which each bone there was a represen? tative, and that he had kept these bones as a memento of his cannibalism. Many other things did this inhuman wretch make known to me, and his countenance, and more than or? dinary worn teeth, only helped to convince me that he had literally been a bone-crusher. To have listened to this man's statements, and told, too, in the presence of those who could have contradicted them if false, would have removed forever from the minds of some the idea that Fijians are not lovers of human flesh. This vile cannibal confirmed that, as for eating, nothing was comparable to bum an flesh, not even jowls or pork." P. H. B. Are synonymous with Health, Strength and Vigor.
