Tho London Observer says that Mr. G lap? stone will disposo of the surplus revenue by removing a iminbar of ?niall articles from tho tari tr, and by a modification of the sugar duties, J The Glob? say? it is doubtful whether tbe interest on the Mexican debt will be paid, the funds in F uro pe being oxhaustod, sud it ia impossible to raise a new loan. from Panama. NEW YORK, February 1.-Panama dates to 23d ultimo have been received. There is no local news. Storms have destroyed almost the entire cotton crop throughout Salvador. Tho Costa Rica coffee crop is hoing gathered, and brings higher prices than usual. The Peruvian Dictator is pushing reforms in all departments. He stated to tho Chilian Ambassador that Peru .considered the Chilian conflict with Spain essentially a Peruvian question. Prom Washington. WASHINGTON, February 2.-The Sonate discussed the bill providing for the protec? tion of iT persons in their civil rights, and after a long debate passed it, by a vote of 33 to 12. The House was engaged in discussing the bill enlarging the powers of tho Freed? men's Bureau. , The President to-day sent a mossage to the Senate, nominating a Minister to tho Republic of St. Domingo, as ho believed the commercial interests of the country would bo benefittcd by its recognition, while at the same timo such action would be in accordance with the settled policy of the United States. WASHINGTON, February's.-Tho imme? diate withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico may now bc regarded as certain. Reports confirmatory of the above state that an extraordinary commission bas been sent to Mexico, to make tho necessary pre? parations for the evacuation. The Empe? ror Napoleon no longer insists upon tho recognition of Maximilian by the United States, but is vatistied with the renewed promises from the United States Govern ment to preserve strict neu* - ality with re? gard to Mexico. Dates from New Orleans state that Gen. Weitzel has issued orders directing every commanding officer to arrest all armed persons lurking in their districts on tho Rio Grande. Gen. Weitzel has issued an order rescind? ing the mustering out of the 108th infantry until the report of tbs Commission is made. Chief Justice Chase and Associate Justice Wayne concur in the opinion that it would - be improper to hold a circuit court in Vir? ginia until Congress shall have had an op? portunity to consider and act upon tue entire subject. The civil court in a dis? trict under martial law can, they nay, only act by the sanction and under the uper vision of the military power, and they can? not think it becoming tho Supreme Court - to exercise jurisdiction under snch con? ditions. Tho President has transmitted to Con? gress the report of Gen. Sherman on the condition of affaira in the Southern States. He says he found everjrwhei j in the South - a large number of our officers and soldiers looking ont for land and employment, and doubted not that during the nest year all the land which ia cleared will be under cul? tivation, and a largs part of it under the direction of energetic yoting men. The President, on Friday, ordered a war? rant tc be issued for the pardon of 300 North Carolinians. THE REV. DB. SEHON IN NEW YOKE. There was ?in ir eresting religious service at the Cooper Institute yester? day, which was attended by a congre? gation composed of Southerners at present residing in New York. Rev. Dr. Sehon, of Nashville, Tennessee, Missionary Secretary of the Metho? dist Episcopal Church, South, de? livered a very eloquent sermon, during which he pointedly alluded to the present state of the country. Mr. Sehon, -it will be remembered, was a chaplain in the Confederate army. He came North, a few weeks ago, to collect a sum of $21,000, needed by . the Methodist Church for its missions in China and among the Indians, and I understood that, thus far, he has been quite successful in raising a portion of the money required. At the close of the services yesterday, several gentlemen subscribed $50 each, and as soon as other Southern? ers now residing here will hear of it the entire amount will, no doubt, be forthcoming. I am informed that these Southern religious services are to be repeated during several weeks at the Cooper Institute, at which ser? mons will be delivered by prominent clergymen from the States lately struggling for their independence. [N. r. Cor. Ballimore Transcript, 29th. - A GOOD SION.-We are pleased to hear, from well informed gentlemen, that the freedmen of this District are, as a general thing, taking good care of the corn, peas, &c, that fell to their share at the close of the last year, and show no disposition to dis pose of moro than they can, with safety, spare. It has been feared that "they would part with their provisions thoughtlessly and improvidently. We Are glad to be so agreeably disap? pointed. By their conduct in this matter, they not only exhibit a com? mendable prudence, but afford reason? able grounds for the hope that they are about to give up theft as a means of living, and are making honest cal? culations concerning their support during the year. Thu increasing price of provisions, doubtless, has its in? fluence. However this may be, let their prudence be sustained by the advice and encouragement of their employers. We shall be happy when truth permits us to follow up these words with the good news of a great diminution in the number of smoke? houses broken into and hen-roosts robbed. -Darlington So utherner. ???. - - Major-Generals Meade and Thomas appeared npon the floor of the House of Representatives, on the 2d, when a recess was taken, and the Speaker in a few complimentary remarks in? troduced them to the body. They re? turned their thanks in short speeches, and on the motion of one of the f members, ihree cheers were given by the House and galleries. m . ?Washington News and Rumors. Tho bill reported on "Wednesday by Senator Sumner, from the committee on foreign relations, for the adjust? ment and satisfaction of claims of American citizens for spoliations by the French prior to tho 31st of Jnly, 1801, provides that satisfaction shall be made to an extent not exceeding five millions of dollars. Three com? missioners are to bo appointed to examine and determine the validity and amount of the claims. The claims are to bo paid whenever Con? gress shall make an appropriation for that purpose. All claims not pre? sented to the commission within the period of three years from the pass? age of the Act, shall be forever barred. The bill introduced by Representa? tive Morrill, as to the meaning of certain parts of the internal revenue Act, declares that the words in sec? tion 120, "all dividends, or scrip, or money, thereafter declared due, and whenever the same shall be payable to the stockholders, policy-holders or depositaries, shall mean all dividends or scrip or money to -whomsoever pay? able; and all stock-holders, policy? holders, depositaries or parties what? soever, including non-residents, whether citizens or aliens. In section 122, the word "stockholders" shall include non-residents, whether citi? zens or aliens. It is declared tho ditty of persons making returns of the lists of in? comes or property taxed, to state whether the amounts given are stated according to the value in legal tendei currency, and that the penalties im? posed by law in every case of refusal so to state shall be charged by asses? sors. Section 4th provides, thal when the returns are stated in coined money, the assessor shall reduce them to equivalents in currency. The Sec Ijetary of the Treasury is authorized to prescribe rules by which this prin ciple is applied to all returns, lists, assessments and collections. The rumor of Secretary Stautou'i positive sesignation, to take effect to morrow, gained a wide circulation or the street late this evening, but, lik< all former ones, appears to rest on i slender foundation of fact. Jndg< Hughes, of Indiana, was reported U be his successor, butas he denies th soft impeachment, it is probabb untrue. The readiness of the publii to believe such reports is, however suggestive. A motion to admit Messrs. Byers Keefe and Thompson, Arkansas mern bers, to the floor of the House brought out the conservative strengt! to-day. It was proposed merely t> extend the same courtesy to Arkansa as that already extended to Tennessee yet tho radicals argued that Arkansa was most tainted by rebellion, am voted the motion down by a reducei majority. Such Republicans as Hal and Davis, of New York, Kasson, c Iowa, and Dawes, of Massachusetts voted for it, however. The Committee on Banking hav had another meeting recently, for th purpose of considering the princip? recommendation of the Comptrolle of Currency. The proposition t extend the capital of the Nation ? Banks to $400,000,000, was adjourne over for further consideration. Th committee determined not to take an definite action upon any of the pri positions before them until the Si preme Court have decided upon th question whether the States have tb right to tax Government bonds, the court decides that States have tl right, then the committee will ha-\ to change the present tax upon Ni tional Banks. A special despatch to the Baltimoi Sun, dated Washington, January 3 says: What I telegraphed last evei ing, to the. effect that the radica were throwing off disguises as to ho tility to the President, was exhibitc in full force by Mr. Stevens to-da; The resolution for amending tl Const ' bution which passed the Hou: is vague. Certainly not two-thir< of the States will adopt it; for as tl Executive, as stated in the proclam tion from the State Department, r cognized Southern States as now u represented in the Union, they mu be so considered hereafter. Beside the resolution implies that Stat may deny certain races or color tl right of suffrage, whereas it has be< assumed by the radicals that Congre had the right to control that matt under the portion of the Constitute which provides for a republican foi of government in States. It will be seen that, by the pi posed C institutional amendinei that if all negroes are not allowed vote, none of that race shall counted for representation. Thus, limited suffrage, based on properl or intelligence, or military servit will not count. States must take t entire black, or be proscribed. Politicians freely suggest, as t reasons of General Grant's propos visit to Em-ope, the desire of 1 friends to have bira away from tl political vortex during the agitati of political issues within the m year or two. At the end of that te he may be brought out for the Pre dency with a clean record. I j whole radical crew will be glad i have him away from here. A rumor prevails that a relia radical organ-one that is not c thing to-day and another to-morrov is to be established here as a fi class daily morning journal. I hear, from an intelligent and si stantial Republican source, that t radical members of Congress are s j ing that a division on the main ipi I tion has taken place in the Cahir ."S ** It is stated that Mr. Seward, Mr. Mcculloch and Mr. Welles are for reconstruction, and stand for the President. Mr. Stevens would hardly have made his denunciatory speech to-day unless a wide and deep gulf was between the President and the radical ascendancy in Congress. IMPORTANT RESULTS OF MB. SEW? ARD'S TRIP.-A special [despatch to the New York News, dated Washing? ton, January 30, says : The Secretary of State arrived here on Sunday, from Havana, having successfully accomplished a most im? portant diplomatic mission. On Mon? day, he had ? long interview with the President, to whom he communicated the results of this mission. At the Cabinet meeting to-day, all the mem? bers were present, and the matter was made the subject of special discus? sion. I have before intimated that the object of Mr. Seward's visit to Havana was to bring about a peaceful and honorable settlement of the Mex? ican question. I am now able to state positively that ho was invested by the President with extraordinary and plenipotentiary powers for this purpose. A high officer of Maximil? ian's Government, clothed with simi? lar powers, met Mr. Seward at Havana and an interview took place there, at which the basis of the settlement was agreed upon. The agreement does not provide for the recognition of Maximilian, nor does it require the United States to make any change in her foreign policy nor to abandon any cherished principle. I am not even aware that Mr. Seward made any pledges or promises whatever; but on the same day that the DeSoto left Havana, a French steamer left that port tor Vera Cruz, and it bore to Maximilian the verbal assurance that the policy of neutrality on the part of the United States toward Mexico would be continued and strictly en? forced. To-day Mr. Seward communicated to the Cabinet the gratifying fact that the evacuation of Mexico by the French troops would be commenced immediately, and that it would be our own fault if that evacuation was not complete before next July. The Mexican question is now in a fair way to be settled peacefully ?and honora? bly, and there are only two ways by which that settlement can be retard? ed-first, by violations of neutrality ou the Kio Grande; and second, by the introduction in and passage by I Congress, of offensive and injudicious I resolutions like those of Schenck's. WHO WILL NOT WORK.-It is as? sumed, by a great many well-meaning people, that the freedmen will not work exeept upon compulsion. We have heard this belief expressed by people of various characters, but there is one class from whom it comes with peculiar force. It is those peo? ple who never work themselves, and are. therefore, greatly scandalized that their prerogative, of doing noth? ing, should be thus invaded. If they would set the freedmen in their various localities an example of use? ful industry, it might possibly have some effect. These persons are un? able to undersrand the attractions of labor, when they see it so completely eschewed by some who pronounce the most eloquent eulogies upon its beauties and advantages. The proposition is, that freedmen will not work except upon compulsion. Well, compulsion is all that makes any of us -work. There is nothing in work so very fascinating and de? lightful, that any one chooses it for itself. 1 'He that will not work neither shall he eat, " is the great law which keeps in motion the wheels of the world's industry. When this law comes to operate fully on the freed? men, we shall see whether they will work or not. We mnst make allow? ances for the effects of sudden eman? cipation, and wait till the classes, who are expected to become self-depen? dent all at once, have time to realize the responsibilities of their new position.-Richmond Republic. A novel and ingenious style of rob? bery was developed in Carmine street yesterday forenoon. A pohceman on duty was accosted by another man in full police uniform, who stated that he had been specially detailed to ar? rest a counterfeiter in that vicinity, and would probably need assistance. Soon after a man with a tin cash box passed along, was arrested by the strange pohceman as the bogus note manufacturer alluded to and given in charge of the other officer to convey to the station house, the stranger at the same time taking charge of the prisoner's box, which he said he would carry to police headquarters. It was discovered, however, on tho ar? rival at the station house of the Car? mine street officer with his man, that he had in his charge the porter of the Greenwich Savings Bank, who, when arrested, had been in the discharge of his legitimate duty, and that the individual who had so kindly taken charge of the cash box, which con? tained $3,000, was nothing less than an impostor, who had devised this ingenious plan to get possession of the monoy. The rogue has not been arrested.-New York Herald. Lieut. General Grant has contri? buted the sum of $5,000 to aid in the erection of the Metropolitan (Methodist Episcopal) Church, Wash? ington, D. C., an onterpriso which was begun a few years ago, and came to a stand-still after tho foundation was laid, owing chiefly to a want of funds to carry it on. Too Good to be Lost. [The following lines were written on tho back of a fivo hundred dollar Confederate note:] Represent nothing on God's earlti now, And naught in th? waters below it As a pledge of the nation that's dead and gone, Keep it, dear friend, and show it Show it to those who will lend an ear To the tale that this paper can tell, Of liberty born, cf tho patriot's dream Of the 8 tor in-era died nation that fell. Too poor to possess tho precious ores, And too mn p. li of & stranaer to borrow We issued to-day omr promise to .pay, And hoped to redeem on tho morrow. The days rolled and weeks became years, But our coffers were empty still; Oom was so rare that the treasury quaked If a dollar should drop in thc tul. But the faith that was in us was strong, indeed, And oar poverty well discerned; And these tittle ch eeks represented tho pay That our Buffering volunteers earned. We know it hardly had a value in gold, Yet as gold her soldiers received it; It gazed in our eyes with a promise to pay, And each patriot soldier Behoved it. But our boys thought little of the prico or pay,' Or of bills that wore ever-due; We knew if it brought ns bread to-day, It was the best our poor country could do. Keep it-it tells our history all over, From tho birth of its dream to the last; Modest and born of the angel hopo, Like tho hopo of success it passed. France ami tine United States. "We are not at all surprised by the accumulating evidences of the inten? tion of the Emperor of the French to withdraw his troops from Mexico. Whatever may have been his expec? tations of the results of that occupa? tion, the fall of the Confederacy virtually sealed the fate of the new Mexican Empire, and satisfied Napo? leon that the preservation of friendly relations with che United States de? manded tho abandonment of the Mex? ican enterprise. If the Monroe, doctrine had never been heard of, the manner and time of establishing the empire of Maximilian would have been an offence in the eyes of Ameri? cans that could only be atoned for by the withdrawal of French troops from Mexico. This the JJmperor must have seen, and resolved to shape his action accordingly, only taking care to-retire with deliberation and dig? nity. The wise and cautions monarch who governs France understands thoroughly the possession of Mexico is not as important to his country as the possession of the friendship and good will of the United States. From the moment the United States had a national existence, France has been, with the exception of a brief interval, her faithful ally and fast friend. She came to our relief when wo were almost overpowered by tho heavy blows of a gigantic adversary. The war of the Revolution might have been a failure but for French interpo? sition. It is unnecessary to assume that she acted from disinterested sen? timents. Nations are not much given to Quixotic chivalry. But the same feelings of rivalry towards England, the same interests which demand that Great Britain should not be permit? ted to dominate over the universal seas, still require that France should have a great maritime ally who will assist her to set limits to the naval supremacy of England. Tho entente cordiaie, therefore, between France and the United States has always been decided, and rarely interrupted. The United States is the only power which promises to become the com? mercial rival of England-the only power of modern times. which has shown equal aptitude and efficiency in naval combats with tho vaunted Mistress of the Seas. Would it not be the most suicidal fatuity in France to convert such an ally into an enemy for the sake of miserable Mexico, and to involve herself in a war with the United States which, without the possibility of inflicting much injury upon us, and with a strong probabil? ity, indeed, that Mexico itself would become our's, would only enure to the commercial benefit of England, who would preserve a rigid neutrality in the contest, and grow rich out of the commercial impoverishment of the belligerents. We can readily, therefore, see that the Emperor Napoleon only desires to be permitted to leave Mexico with? out the appearance of acting under duress ; for, whatever the calamities of a war, the honor of France will not permit him to withdraw if tho United States use a word or gesture of menace.-Richmond Dispatch. A NOVEL QUESTION-Is the pro? prietor of a public house compelled to receive negroes at his table? That is the question. We are informed by a gc stiemen who came down on tho Chattanooga train, Thursday, that tho post commandant closed the eating house of Joiner & Co.. at Stevenson, Alabama, ?because two negro soldiers were refused admission to dinner at the regular table. Upon their complaint, Captain Wartman sent a guard of negro soldiers, stating that if they were not allowed to cat at the regular table, the house would be closed. The landlord refused, on the grounds that his customers would leave him; whereupon an order was issued closing the house at once. The proprietors have appealed to higher authorities. [Nashville Union, 27th. By direction of tho Ordnance De? partment, the ordnance depots at Nashville, Tenn,, Hilton Head, S. C., and Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, have been discontinued, and the officers relieved. WHAT STATES MUST RATIFY THE AMENDMENT.-The Chronicle, For? ney's paper, the organ of the Radi? cals, after stating that the Legislature of "Virginia and those of several other Southern States are now in session, adds : ' "Let us trust that there will ba a quick and spontaneous movement in favor of this amendment among the Southern States. It will not surprise us if they should * follow up their action by conferring poli tica] equality upon all their people, so as to secure a full representation in the national councils." * The city of Mexico is better sup? plied with water than any city in the world. It has two immenso acque dncts-one seven miles long, and the other three-which bring the water from the mountains to the very heart of the city; thence by arteries it is distributed in every direction. There are also numerous artesian wells in tho city and its suburbs. By boring an average depth of eighty feet the water rises several feet above the surface of the earth, and flows in a very bold stream. FINAL DISSOLUTION OF THE PKO VOST MARSHAL'S DEPARTMENT IN BAL? TIMORE.-Under a special order from Major-General W. S. Hancock, com? manding middle military department, tile Provost Marshal's office ceased to exist yesterday, and Brevet Brigadier General Wooley has been ordered to report to the Adjutant-General of the army at Washington for instructions. This office, for the past four years, has wielded an immense power iii our midst-for a long time almost superseding civil authority.-Sun, 1st. The Jacksonport (Ark. ) Herald has received information of a reliable cha? racter from Little Rock, that the Supreme Court of that Stato lias decided that the test oath is uncon? stitutional. This, it observes, is as was expected, for a more unjust and unconstitutional law was never passed. No DISTINCTION MADE.-The Sing Sing (N. Y.) Kepid)lican learns that Edward B. Ketchum, lately convicted of forgery, is treated the same as the other prisoners; marches into his dinner with them, and like them, he is locked in his solitary cell every night. It is said that the feeling is so strong in Indiana against negro suffrage, that all RepubUcan leaders and members of Congress are obliged to oppose it. It is admitted by Re? publican members of the Ohio Legis? lature, that negro .suffrage will be beaten by 75,000 votes in that State. A Military Commission is now in session at Santiago. All persons, whether residents of Mexico or tho I United States, are summoned to appear who are conversant with tht circumstances of the late attack upon Bagdad. An old gentleman remarked the other day, that in 1770, wc went to I war on account of the stanip act, and ' got the negro; while in 1861, we went to war about the negro and got tho stamp act. The Barnwell (S. C.) Sentinal states that the planters of that District have i secured laborera for the present year, and have commenced work in good earnest. - - -.- . A Mississippi editor complains feelingly of being badgered in his office by candidates who do not, after occupying his time, have the decency to suggest drinks. The Paris Press asserts that Na? poleon has sent messengers to Mexico to arrange for the speedy return <>f the French troops. UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.-Mr. James G. Fernandez, of Union District, was shot and killed, last week, by a party of soldiers sent to effect his arrest. Subscriptions aro being taken up in London for the relief of the widow of "Stonewall" Jackson. Governor Hamilton, of Texas, bits appointed Mr. Alexander Attorney General. A Texas National Bank will be started soon, with a capital of $1,000, 000. A thousand laborers have been en? gaged to rebuild Charleston, S. C. It is estimated that the receipts from customs this month will amount to upwards of 11,000,000 in gold. It is strange that the greatest bores are men of no point.
