Guthrie, of Kentucky, made a con? servative speech, opposing it. He regards it as an invasion upon the rights of the States, calculated to irritate, rather than oneil the feeling of the people. Later from Barop?. NEW YOKH, January 20.- The steamship Nova Scotian has arrived, willi dates to the 5th instant. The Popo received the congratulations of the French army on the first of January. He returned thanks, and said it would pro? bably be the last time that he would be? stow a blessing on them. He feared the enemies of the Church would come to Rome after th J denature of the French troops.

Some of the Republican members from Indiana are growing tired of the wrangle about negro suffrage, and do not hesitate to say that, if applied to that S' ate, it would lose the ai every Congressional district excepting that of Mr. Julian. Thadi Stevens' sudden anxiety to repeal so much of the Congressional test-oath as prohibited Southern at? torneys from pructising in the South created much surprise at the time, and has led to much discussion since among those not fully in the secret. It seems that a small caucus of the faithful met at Mr. Chase's, on Satur? day evening, where the whole subject was informally discussed. Judge Chase ia understood to have said that the law was clearly against the oath ; that the question now before the Su? preme Court involved the whole prin? ciple, and must soon be decided, and recommended the course pursued by Stevens on the following Monday as the' best method for relieving him from the necessity of making a disa? greeable decisiou, and the party from possessing a most unwieldy elephant. The Committee on "Ways and Means are reported to be by no means har? monious concerning what is popularly termed Secretary McCulloch's bill on financial affairs. Many of them are opposed to giving him the authority to go into foreign markets for loans. It is difficult to see how this can con? flict with sound policy. Our bonds will inevitably find their way abroad, and the only question to decide is, whether the Secretary shall negotiate them himself on the best obtainable terms, or allow them to pass through bankers and brokers as middle-men. The correspondent of the New York Herald writing from Fortress Monroe says : The search is still continued on land and on shipboard for persons formerly in the rebel service and be? lieved to have any complicity in the alleged plot to secure Jeff. Davis his freedom without the authority or sanction of the Government. It is probable there will be no let up in these inquisitorial researches until an order to such effect comes from the War Department. General Miles and the military force garrisoning the fort, I feel very certain, would rather like the coming of a rescuing force, and prefer not to advertise their prior knowledge of the possible arrival of such an expeditionary party. Though the victorious wreaths encircling the brows of our brave soldiers do not weigh heavily, and though grim visaged war is more agreeable with a smooth than with a wrinkled front, a little excitement of this kind would relish intensely and set the blood tingling with lively and pleasurable audacity. There is this one pleasant feature in the case-that if no rescu? ing party does show itself, the excite? ment stirred up by it has cleared the post and its preci^'?ts of many having no business here and no claims to be I here. I refer, of course, to the edicts expelling those formerly in the rebel service from the Government depart? ments, and forbidding the employ? ment of any such in future. It has long been freely spoken of as an un? pardonable shame that such persons should be allowed to be employed here to the exclusion of Union sol? diers, whose past glorious records in the field and scarred and maimed bodies entitled them to these places. But nepotism was fast getting its sway, and it needed just stich emer? gency and stringent action to put it down. It is a blow in the right direc? tion. AH loyal and rightly-minded ones are glad of it. Thc correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger, of the 17th, says: Certain parties are endeavoring to make it appear that because the Intelligencer has lost the War Depart? ment advertising, it is no longer in the confidence of the President. This is an error, as the advertising affair and its withdrawal was purely a mat? ter between the proprietors and the Secretary of War, the Executive him? self being as foreign to the withdrawal a's Napoleon or Queen Isabella. I hear .to-day that the Supreme Court is a 1 io upon the question of the constitutionality of the test-oath. It was supposed that Reverdy .John? son's able argument before the Court in the ease of Mr. Garland would have secured at least a preponderance of votes in favor of granting the I petition of his client to be admitted to practice without taking the re? quired oath, but if rumor speaks correctly, it failed of its intended effect. Mr. Garland, and ail others interested, must, therefore, look to Congress for relief, and the impres? sion is that they will not look in vain, seeing that a bill repealing tho oath is already through the House. The President stands ready to sign the bill whenever it shall be the pleasure of the Senate to pass it and transmit it to him. HORRIBLE CASE OF CANNIBALISM AT SEA.-The brig C. M. Carver, Cap? tain Treat, from Georgetown, S. C., with lumber for Searsport, was dis? mantled and filled with water in n gale on the 21st ult. On the 31st ult., she was fallen in with, seventy miles from Cape Ann, by the schooner Emma, and the crew taken off, being nine days on the wreck without food j or water. One man was killed when j tho masts went over, and the steward > died on the 30th, of starvation, and ' when rescued, the crew were living on ! his body.-Mobile Tribune. # In Missouri and Arkansas there r are thirty-two negro schools, wit!, forty teachers and 2,827 scholars. Important from Mexico. The announce ruent comes from New Orleans that the armed force from Texas, which captured from the Mexi? can Imperialists the town of Bagdad, on the Rio Grande,- as described in yesterday's Herald, consisted chiefly of the 118th United States colored infantry, under Colonel Davis. The capture was effected on the morning of the 5th inst., and it is said that the negroes immediately after commenced plundering the place and robbing the citizens, shooting those who refused to deliver their money. Three hun? dred Imperialists were made prisoners, about half of whom joined the Repub? lican service, and were detailed to gar? rison the town, the captors imme? diately disappearing. The American General Crawford was in command of it, and General Escobedo was on his way thither. The accounts indicate that the former was about starting on another expedition. General Weitzel, at the request of Escobado, sent two hundred men from Brownsville, Texas, to Bagdad, to preserve order. The shelling of the town by a French vessel, which was kept up during the 6th inst., did not result in relaxing in the slightest degree the hold upon it of its new garrison. By way of Vera Cruz, we have re? ceived intelligence of Republican successes of the most important cha? racter. Toluca, the ancient capital of Mexico, a fine city of twelve thousand inhabitants, has been captured by the Juarists under Munoz, and so critical is the emergency that Marshal Ba? zaine, with all the Imperial troops at hand, had started from Mexico city to attempt to retake the position. There is, further, a rumor, apparently well founded, that a couple of valua? ble silver mines have fallen into the hands of the Juarists. The fighting in the interior, of which we now re? ceive details, appears not to have re? sulted so favorably for the Republi? cans, but all accounts unite on the point that the position of Maximilian is a most critical one. Arising out of the disturbed state of affairs, an at? tempt bad been made to assassinate the Imperial Minister of War- but the plot failed, and the would-be i'.--sassins were arrested. President Johnson's message had been received in Mexico city, as in France, with a feeling of intense re? lief that war was uot to be imme? diately made upon the Imperial Go? vernment. The Vera Cruz papers, howe vnr, regard the outbreak of hos? tilities between the United States and France as inevitable, and only postponed for a time. [New York Herald, 19iA. Five Priests Indicted In Missouri. We have been surprised to read in the St. Louis Republican, of a recent date, that five priests-Fathers Knowd, McGerry, Ryan, O'Reagan and O'Donoughoe, gentlemen who constituted the faculty of St. Vin? cent's College in that State, distin? guished for their learning and refine? ment-have been indicted by a grand jury, and called to appear before a criminal court to answer to the in? dictment which has some reference to the "test-oath," so-called, the consti? tutionality of which is now before the Supreme Court of the country. When the cases were called, the reverend fathers petitioned for a postponement until next term in order that they might continue teaching the Semi? naries until next June. They were accordingly held to bail in $1,001) each. The arrest was made on a Saturday night, but they all gave bail to ap pear on Monday, and the arresting ! officer left. The people on Sunday were in the highest degree excited, and it might have required but a word to arouse them to armed resis? tance. But the good priests used their influence in another direction. It is a fine and beautiful commentary on the spirit of the Catholic religion which counsels obedience to law and authority. The Father instead of com? plaining and exciting feeling already too much aroused, set them an example in the other direction. The church, at the 10 o'clock mass, was densely crowded. After the Gospel (which Avas about John in prison) the officiat? ing priest preached a beautiful ser? mon on patience. He showed to his congregation that they should not be angry against the people who had i caused the trouble, and in the end commanded the Catholic portion of the inhabitants, by all the authority he had over them, not to say or do j anything that could get up an excite? ment. Father McGerry, one of the parties arrested, is described as a venerable old man over seventy years of age, the friend of Bishop Dubois, the second superior of Mount St. Mary's College, Emmetsburg, and for many years pastor of a church at Washing? ton. His memory is full of recollec? tions of the past time, stories of the re? volution, in which his fathers fought. He is a man whom all love and revere for his goodness and kindness. It was , a strange thing to see that fino old man stand at the bar of a criminal court, charged with a crime unknown 1 to the laws, It is to be hoped that ; before the cas? is called for trial in . June, better counsels will prevail, i and that these unoffending and [ loyal priests will be permitted tc [ depart unmolested to pursue theil i mission of love, charity, and good will to men. i j YORK ELECTION.-J. F. Wallace hae i j been elected Clerk of the Court foi ! York District. LOANS TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS. Tb is is a matter of such great impor? tance to the whole country that we advert to it again, in connection with the presence in this city of Doctor Samuel Bard, late Superintendent of Public Education in the State of Louisiana, and long connected with the South-western press; and who is now here as the representative of many plantera whom the war has left without the means necessary to the successful planting of cotton. The Southern lands are as rich as ever; laborers may be obtained, and in many instances agricultural imple? ments are not wanting. But the money wherewith to pay the laborer, to feed and clothe him, to stock the planta? tion, and to meet its other current expenses, is wanting. It is this want which Northern capital should seek to supply, so that the whole energies of the Southern planters may be success? fully directed to the production ol cotton and other Southern crops. This will cause our shipping to whiten every sea; stimulate every branch ol the national industry; establish thc foreign exchanges in our favor; ena? ble the country to sustain, uninjured, the burden of the national debt, anc avert all danger of a financial crisis. A full ciop of cotton will do more ti restore the prosperity of the country than all the political speeches that can be made in a decade. It is for the National banks and th? capitalists of the North to effect thes< good results, and they should do it a once. "We are glad to learn fron Doctor Bard that he-is succeeding ii the object of his visit. He will reman here a few days longer, and may b seen at No. 71 Broadway. [New Fork News. SOCIAL LIFE IN WASHINGTON.-Th National Intelligencer of the 17th says The reception at the Executive man sion last night was one of the mos brilliant we have ever seen. Abou 9 o'clock, the throng in tho red, blue and green rooms became so grea that the order was given for lightin, the East room; and the opening c that large and commodious apartmen was a most satisfactory and effectiv relief. It is evident that the ladie of the President's family, in thei evening "at homes," must expect t be so besieged by troops of friend: that all the public rooms will 1 drawn into requisition. From th hour appointed until nearly 10 o'cloc there was a steady flow of company. Among those present were tl ministers from England, Franc* Russia, Prussia, the Netherlands, an other members of the diplomat corpsj some accompanied by tl ladies of their families. The array ? beauty and distinction from differei quarters, of the nation, including oi own city, was particularly noticed I those most familiar with these r unions. About 9 o'clock, the President joim his daughters in the red drawin room, and received the sa uitions the crowds, that now st jed to i crease, with the ease and affability characteristic to him. Our fair friends, perhaps, will interested in learning that the toil? were in many instances superb.
