3By Telegrapli. Kentucky Legislature. FRANKFORT, Ky., December 14.-The Senate to-day, by a vote of tweuty-two yeas to twelve" nays, passed the House bill removing the disabilities from persons en? gaged in tho rebellion. Thc House, DY a vote of fifty-seven tb eight, passed the bill reported bv thc Coniniitteu on the Judi? ciary, pardoning all persons who have committed treason against the Common? wealth. Thc House repealed tho Act, ap? proved the 22d of February, to provide a civil remedy for injuries done by disloyal persons, not, however, to arffect "its pend? ing action. From "Washington. WASHINGTON, December 15.-The dis? arming of the black troops in Mississippi arises, probably, from thc fear of trouble, now that the holidays are so rapidly ap? proaching. It is a fact that women and children aie now in thc Northern States, whose homes are in tho South, but prefer to romain where they are until the dreaded Christmas times have passed. The fears of trouble are stronger in Mississippi than any other State. When General Cabby mustered out tho blacks in Louisiana recently, ho ordered them all to be disarmed, and this action, I im informed, was based almost solely on the fear that~"a collision might occur, should the negroes be permitted to retain their arms. What Governor Humphrey had done in Mississippi is no more than General Canby has done, though in the one case it was by Government action and in the other by States. Burlingame, Minister to China, will leave to-day on a short leave of absence. The policy of the Government is to develop the resources of that Empire, and bring the two peoples in closer commercial re? lations. The trial of Jefferson Davis by military court, is strongly urged in congressional circles. Legal documents have been pre? pared favoring this idea by ono of the ablest lawyers in the country. The departure for Europe on Wednes? day, of the chief secretary of the Frenen Legation is connected with the details of the Mexican question and growing popular sympathy with the Liberal cause in Mexico, together with appointment of General Logan, has led t' a communication be? tween Count Mon tholoo and the State De? partment, which resulted in sending a message to the French Emperor for definite instructions. It is said the withdrawal of thc French legation from Washington will take placo in case of tho formal appointment of an United States Minister to the Mexican re public The two-thirty's vote in the House yes? terday, adopting the origininal Stevens resolution, is regarded as settling tho question of admitting Southern claimants for seats; they will not get iu this winter. The President expressed himself this morning as disappointed by this radical vote. The Commission er of Customs has re? ceived information that a cargo of whiskey, teas, dry goods, etc., has been seized ?t Rochester, New York. The goods were smuggled from Canada, through the District of Oswcgo, where the principal smuggling is done. Th? findings and sentence of the naval court-martial for the trial of Commodore Craven, for refusing to tight the Stonewall, has been published. Tho court sentenced him to be suspended two years, which decision was reiterated upon the return of tho sentence by the Secretary of the Navy disapproved. The Secretary them' dissolv? ed the court, and ordered Commodore Craven to retnm to duty until further orders. The United States Supreme Cou-t was crowded with attorneys, to hear the im? portant argument of Mr. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, directing the re-admission of Mr. Garland to practice, on the ground that thc President's pardon "restored the petitioner to all his civil and political rights. Although li? (Carpenter) sustain? ed the President in suppressing the re? bellion, now that the war was over, he was perfectly 'willing to take by the hand his " reconstructed" brethren. He contended that the test oath was unconstitutional. Attorney-General Speed replying, argued that Congress has tho right to fix the qualifications for office, and that, though a pardon removed the consequences of crime, it was not a key to unlock the Go? vernment offices. Mr. Garland was no more restored to pardon than were those who took part in tho rebellion, to the office they previously occupied under the United States Government. SUALL-POY.-The small-pox is spreading very rapidly among the colored people near tho' Northern boundary of Washington city, and their condnct is calculated to spread it through thu city. Colored men and women who are literally covered with pustules are seen walking about tho streets and mingling with others. Governor Worth, of North Carolina, took the oath of office on Saturday, before the members of the two Houses of the Legislature and a number of citizens. He delivered a short and modest address on the occasion, claiming that the people were well disposed, and desired tho resto? ration of the Union. The Newberry Herald announces that thieving is the order of the day ii. that village. A man robbed the hotel, and suc? ceeded in getting as far as Helena, but was arrested bv a clerk and brought back. Even the dogs have gone into the stealing business; we are rapidly advancing to? wards civilization. - io? . _ . - The eighth wonder of the fashionable world is Sozodont. Ladies, as they seo their unsullied teeth and rosygutna reflect? ed in their toilet mirrors, and gentlemen, as their white incisors Hash through their dark moustaches, wonder howthe benight? ed folk .d' twenty years ago got along with? out the teeth-beautifying, breath-pcrfuni ing Sozodont. t The United States Consul at Malta, writ? ing to the State Department, under date of November 13, 1865, says that for tho last thee days there has been no cases of cholera on "thc island, and thaf if thc public health continued so, clean bills of health would he given to tho shipping. PORK.-Thc Wythevflle (Va.) Dispatch says! There arc a good number of hogs in the country and ab und anco of corn to fatten them. That being thc case, it is nothing moro than reasonable to be? lieve that pork will bo sold in this market for six dollars. Tho fifteen-dollar pork has played out, wc think. Major E. W. Wynkoof, formerly First Colorado Cavalry, has been detailed by the | War Department to special duty with tho Indian Bureau, as special Government agent, to bring about tho reconciliation between hostile Indian tribes. THE COTTON QUESTION.-General Order No. 8, promulgated by the general in com? mand at Vicksburg, directs that there bo no interference by any person connected with the military service with tho move? ment of cotton. A difficulty occurred in thc Circuit Court in Washington City, on thc 14th, between Judge Olin and Lawyer Brown, during which, thc lawyer called the Judge a "liar and a scoundrel," and was arrested for contempt. Raphael M. Sommes, the commander of the Alabama, was arrested in Mobile on Saturday evening, by an order from Wash? ington, and is now cn route under guard for that city. The Governor of Indiana has officially notified the Secretary of State of the rati tincation of the Constitutional Amend-* mont. Official information has been received at thc State Department of the ratification of j the anti-slavery amendment by Oregon. The Bev. Henry W. Duchachct, pastor of St. Stephen's Church, Philadelphia, was found dead in his study on Monday morning. Ex-Governor Brown, of Georgia, has gone to Atlanta, his property having been restored. Four thousand dollars were collected at tho Second Presbyterian Church, in Louis? ville, on Thursday evening, in aid of South? ern Presbyterian pastors. The Treasurer of the United States has ordered that the First National Bank of Selma, Alabama, be recognized as a depository of public moneys/ Judge Bustced, of thc United States District Court, decides tho test oath to be unconstitutional.
