WASHINGTON, February 24.-It is believed that Grant will notify his Cabinet officers of their appointment between now ai d Monday. Cusliiog'a treaty for a ship canal across the Isthmus of Danen, is favorably considered by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Colonel Parker, of Indian descent, audbere tofore on General Grant's staff, is prominent as a candidate for Commissioner of Indian Af? fairs. Sherman is expected here on Friday. Ho will bo snccoeded by Sheridan as Lieutenant General. It is conceded that Grant's Cabinet will be moderate Republicans. The Globe continues to publish the Congres? sional dobatos. Schcnck's bill to streng then ino public cre? dit and pledging the faith of the government to nay its bonds in gold or its equivalent, pass? ed the House by a vote of 119 to 61. Tho body of the unfortunate Captain Wirz, executed tor alleged outrages ifs keeper of Confederate prisons, has been delivered to his friends. .Senator Wilson has introduced a bill regard? ing Mississippi, which provides that the pro? visional government shall bo abolished, and the officers recently elected be installed, ex? cept where they cotinct tako thc oath of office, and then the person receiving tho next highes!, vote shall be installed. .. The Senate Judiciary Committee has resolved to take no further action this session on tho removal of political disabilities. Tho impres? sion is strong that nothing moro will be dono this session, as the Hon-o is certain to craso somo names whic'i will involve thc return of tho bill to tho Senate. Both Houses wili go into cancus on Tuesday next, for officers for tho ensaing session, and further business by either House is regarded as improbable. The managers of thc caucuses earnestly urge the new meinb jrs to be present. CONGRESSIONAL. NO INTERFERENCE WITH GEORGIA-ARMY APPRO? PRIATIONS-MANAHAN.

TO THE ED1TOU OF THE MlW?. This su'ojeet is much discussed in Congress .md ia the journals, bat not witli that agree? ment in principles winch ia necessary to its intelligent investigation. I have just perused Mr. Morton's speech in tho benato, recently made. Ile is favorable to resumption, but sets out with tho assumption that our paper cur? rency is not excessive. I would suppose that the answer to this assumption would bc the premium on gold, which is 32 per cent.; but a few figures will show this error of Mr. Morton on tue subject of redundancy ol' thc paper currency. 1 ho amount of paper money issued, includ? ing legal tender and national bink uolcs, in, in round numbers, SG30 000 000. Dur popula? tion is estimated at 33,000 000, which is a frac? tion over seventeen dollars per head of po? per currency for tho whole population. Tho paper currency of the United states in 1800 was $207,U0'1.0?0. and the specie in cir ul.i?ior. between S83 000.000 md $81 000,000. making iii the aggregate about $30J 000.0J0. which, in proportion to thc population at [hat time 31.000.OOJ-was a fractii n over $7 per head bli? the bank note and $2 50 por head for the tpecic part of th? circulation. The b '- note cur? rency of Groat Biitaini8?30 0o0,i 00-S150 0L.0, 000-which is SI 81 per capita. The paper currency of France is 120.000,000 fruncs $24,000,000-about $7 per bead. Let us adopt another mode of calculation. Allowing for an increase of population, at tho nut decennial period, at tho rato of 3? pt?r cent, per annum, and that tho population ot the United States will, at tho next census, 1S70. reach 40,000,000. at this rate of mci ease thc cur? rency ought to bc $400 OOO 000 or $10 per head, or about $7 50 for thc pap rand 1250 for thc specie portion. Pursuing thc same mode of calculai ion at tl c census of 18S >, vb";: our numbers will be 54,000.000, our whole currency, p.v er and specio, would be S540.000.000, and*, in tho same proportion as in 180'J, f <r specio and paper about $400,000 000 tor the latter an t $100,000, 000 for tho former portion of it. Mr. Mortoti is opposed to tho mode of com? mencing the payment of the national debt, aa suggested by tho Secretary of tho I'roa-ury. Mx. Mcculloch proposes to commence with the fimdrd d * ' Mr. Morton wishes to begin with thc floating debt, in which we ^gree with him. The H inting debt is tho greatest of tho two evils. The funded debt is not payublo until 1881. Thc flouting debt disturbs contracts, and by leading to depreciation und an unfavorable balance ol' trade, carries our hoads to Europe with our gold. Air. Morton is. however, not a little inconsistent in this part of his speech. He is opposed to a contraction of the currency, I unless oy pioccmcal. bit by bit. Now, "what is a roduciioa of thc floating debt, iu other words, a cancellation of the legal teuder notes, in the way ho proposes, but a postponement to an almost indefinito period of resumption? He is the advocate-of paying off tho floating debt in preference to tho lund d debt, because :t will hu thc means of improv? ing the currency, and lead ug necessarily io resumption, and yet bc proaosos to cancel one hur<di-ed millions of Hint debt as an eflOfttual mea is ol returning to specie pa\ments. Does lie imagine tba, cancelling orie part out of seven, when the excess is about tom- parts ant of seven, will accomplish his object ? lie sup? poses that retiring $100,000 COO of legal tender notes will bring the remainder to a levol of value with gold. Yam expectation ! Lu speaking ol a gradual reduction, is ho mt aware of that law of currency which prevents currency of a higher value circulating with ono ot a lowor value? Would not gold bo still re? garded aa merchandise and rc-exportoJ even if brought in by abalance of trade, until thc excess Of paper mon sy had boca reduced ? Thc coutsc of oolicy is very plain m this ex remity. lt is to reduce o :r floating debt as rapidly as possible, consistent with safety and not too great a reduc? tion of prices, autil we have Lrought it down to somewhere in tho neighborhood of $350,000,000, and then if our exports exceed our imports, and the balance of trade ie in our favor, we shall bc ab1.- to return to specie payments, but not before. If tho attempt is made to resume unless wc are in due preparation to do so, hy reducing the pres nt p elnora of puper money, there wilt be inevitably another suspension, its wnB the case in this country in 183i>, after tho suspension of 1837. In fact, this sunjoct cannot bo mte'lig'nrly discussed, except in connection with tue pub? lic expondituru uud thc state of our foreign trade, and to these aspects di tho subject we will address ourselves tu a future communica? tion. J. N. C. As ELEPHANT ATTACKS A Loc IMOTIVE.- Thc folio slug account of an encounter Between an elephant and a railwav train iii India is 'aken from the Bengalee of January's an intelligent native newspaper published in Calcutta in Eng? lish : A correspondent writing (he Indo-Euro peaii corr tnoudenco froiti ILuuhyr. s.atcs that a verry serious accident, brought about in I a m.inntr unknown, and perhaps unheard of sinco the establishment ot railways, not only ni India, but through int the world, happened to a train on thc evening of ibo 20th of De? cember, at hulf-patt 8 o'o.ock. between Sahe'o gunge and Mirzaporo, about two miks from tue latter 6tatiou. At that lime the No. 5 down goods'train was nppioaching a tuangoo tope, in which seventy elephants were stationed. The red lights glaring in the distance, and the noise and sm ike ot the engine, would seem to have caused an awful consternation -.imoiig the poor brutes, all of whcni moro, or ?ess, tried to break away from their faste lings. One large male, however, thc Str?mtest and Most courageous of the lot, became so infuria? ted that ho broke his chiin aud r.ished forward to intecept and encounter Hie supposed ene? my. He bau scarcely placed himself on th? Imo when tho train was down upon him. He encountered it with head aud tusk-; hut animal stretigth proved nc match for steini aud ma? chinery-the poor unite was laioo?'ed down and killed ou thc spot, and the engine, rebounding, ran olT thc linc, and it and eleven carriages wero capsized into a ditch. Tho Qremau luckily mauacod to jump off io time, and the guard did ibo same, but the po r driver, nam^fl Smitb. remained in his place, and receivod inju? ries iroio which it is not expect cd bswillieouVix. DUEL AT NKW OULBA?&-At an early hour Wednesday morning, a duel WI?S fought af Company " Canal, above tho city, between Messrs. J. P. Rondeau, of this city. au . Wm. A. Dav.s, of Guido Parish, resul tog in tue wounding of tho latter. They w?-n accompa? nied by Mr. Giiffin, the lr. end o Mr. Davis, and Air. Carr, wo believe, in behalf ol Air. ito - d. au. The duel was fought with navy revolvers, at ten paces. The difficulty which led to toe encounter appears to Lave occurred Mardi Gras night at a private party, and arose from a supposed insult to u . ouug hdy. It appears Ikey met tho day after, and a j ?stol uss drawn in front of H.tggtrty's ou Canal-stroet, hut on one of thc party ttumg that Le was unarmed, aniutorvie? was arranged aa hour afterwards at the St. Charles Hotel, when a hostile mee - iug was agreed o-i for Weducaday ni.ruing at Spark's pian ation, above Caxrollton. It was agreed to th c- alternately, and Mr. Davin won the first shot and un?sed his aim. Mr. Rondeau then ossayod to fire, but his pis toi only snapped, bu*, at a second attempt tho pistol was di chatted, taking eliuct between thc third and fourth nb, producing a severo and probably fatal wound. A surgeon was ia attendance, who dressed the wound as well a.? the imperfect ttocotisions at liS?d would i-nable him, and Mr. Davis v.'-is removed to bis lodg? ings iii this city, where he is now receiving every attention bis condition requires. LiV. O. Picayune, February 18, POLITICAL. Thc Fifteenth Amendment-Beginning to Sec its Knee ts. The constitutional amendment adopted by the United States Senate is denounced by some of thc prominent Radical journals, who see that it is time to resist thc encroachments of Congress upon the rights of the States. Tho tendeucy towards centralization is beginning to.be rebuked by Republican party organs. They sc-o the danger that must result from stripping thc States of all powsr, and confer? ring the same upon Congress. Tho Providence (R. I.) Journal says: Should this amendment be confirmed by the States, and go into effect, it cannot fad to work a very important change in the govern? ment and institutions of the country. The ar? ticle annuls forever ell special qualifications tor holding office in any of tuc States, and will inevitably require very important altoraticus in several of thc State constitutions, as well as in the relations of all tho States to tlie General Government, lt will provo by far the lougest step that li is thus far neon taken toward thc consolidation of our political power and the virtual overthrow of State institut ionp. A change lise this which is proposed by tho Senate is fundamental und far-reaching. As was earnestly contended by ecveral leading members of that body, it ts essentially revolu? tionary m its tendencies and results. Our po? litical system will bc very greatly modified by its operation, and with tho facility which will thus b-e iutroduced of miking still further changes, it is mpossiblo fully to estimate or even to anticipate ttic ulterior consequences that are likely to flow from it. Out of :i neces? sity which the rebellion forced unon the States of thc South, and which really pertained only to them, the champions o. a particular theory ot social rights have carried thr 'Ugh the Sen? ate a change in tue fundamental law which strikes down everything like local independ? ence in State affairs, and abolishes all-power in a Stato to pro.ect itself against any social or political evils to which it uaw be especially ex pu.-od. thc Constitu? ion of the United States, ns Hms amended, will clearly no longer be the constitution which was auoptcd by our fullers. With iacli a provision, even as a possible anti cipation, it could never have passed the con? vention of 17S7; still less could it have been ac? cepted hy t ho popular conventions of any of the States. If it is now confirmed, it will be only au overthrow ol State constitutions, under tho spurious guise of a constitutional amendment ni favor of freedom. Thc Chicago Tribune also has a bold article on thc siibjnct. It says: Slate officers aro not, hue voters, constit? uents of the national government. Their qualifierions may bc saf ly left to tho people Ot the ?tate. The constitutions of the several States provide various qualifications tor their officers, 1 he Governors of some Stales aro re? quired to bc native bi?n citizens. Under o ich State wo havo a ve.iely of offices lobe filled hy persons having a knowledge of par? ticular sciences; wo have judges and attoraey gcucrals, we have prosecuting attorneys, State gcoio.'iotc and surveyors, wo bava h. ? fur the insano and for tn1 ere a m >nt ofolh-i '.onus of disease. Why should not thc Stato of Illi? nois require that persons elected or appointed to these places shall ho able to read or write? t bat her judges and attorneys shall betducat cd in the ?aw? that her public physicians and superintendents of ho-p?tala shall havo a medi? cal education ? Yet tho .itnoiidtiieut pro? posed hythe Senate prohibits the State from oajabhsbiiig any such qualifications, and makes eligibility to office coextensive with th -right to vols. All citizons, of all colors and races, whether they read or write, or speak the lan? guage, or ho.d property, are mair eligible to all offices in tho Slate. Can any pcrsou give any good reason for this proposition? Wo do not think sue.i au ameodmeut can bc ratified at the present time. We do not believe that it trill secure thc requisite number of votes iu Illinois, Indiana or Ohio; wc do not think Connecticut, or Rhode Island, or New Hampshire will ratify it.and it may fail in New York and Pennsylvania. 1 lie Pacific States will undoubtedly reject it. The universal suf? frage clause cannot carry itself and tho office holding clause. What will Become ofSrant'i sturt" ? On thc 4lh of March next, whoo General Grant censes to bo commander of the army, or sooner, if he should resig i before that time, tho command will devolve ninm Licnteuant General W. T. Sherman, thc next iu rank, and all ot General Grant's officers will formally tender their resignations. If General Sherman should not reappoint them, General Rawlings will still remain a Bngauior General, lt is believed that he will be nominated to some good civil position; General B.uleau will full huck on his commis? sion as First Lionionaut of the FourtU Infan? try; Gent-ral Porter will fall back to Major of the Or Inane" Department; Gnu oral Comstock will be Major of the Engineer Corps; General Dabcock viii be also a Major in the Engineer Corps; Colonel Park, r will ho a First Lieu? tenant of thc Second Cavalry; Geucf.il Dent will become a Major of tho Fourteenth I iau try, but will, it is thought, go with the Presi? dent to the White Douse; Colonel Loet will continue as M?jor in tho Adjntnut-Goucr?l's Department and Colonel Webster will lie a trgocd tu-omo importunt post nt the Qiurter maxici'? Department, if not retained by Gene? ral Shem.au, which is moro luau probable 'Thc Scna'e t aunts and the Itrpcal of the 'l'enurc-of-oilicc Law.

I'm- tune, lroin devon to twelve, not sufficing, Mr. An? thony, i he chairman of tho caucus, when tits Senate met in regular Btfssion at noon, seized the convenient pretext that this was the birth? day of ?Vasilii gton, and. on his motion, ad? journed at once -whereupon the majority iut med ai oly returned to their caucus clumber.

Tho old hatred of An? drew Johnson was also brought into play, and a great indisposition manifested to give him a chance io have anything todo with it. Mr. Wil? son said the President would rejoice to ha ve this taft opportunity of rapping Congress over thc knuckles; that if tho bili ?as repealed, i ti would iu signing it take the occasion t i ehuw up Congress aa going back on itself, and as xduiit ting lite li lith of his strictures that tho Lill was unconstitutional and cetild not bo justified, and il iiie modified bill of the retrenchment committee waa passed bis veto wonld contain the same argument*.

Ho remained there several hours up to the time of adjournment of thc morning session.
