By Telegraplx., Th? President Firm in hts Position. "WASHINGTON, Marco 9.-Yesterday, the j Committee from the Maryland Legislature I presented to the President resolutions j adopted by that body, approving his poli- ' cy. A Committee from Kentucky also pre? sented to the President the proceedings of a meeting held in Frankfort, endorsing his veto message. The President, in response to both delegations, reiterated his deter? mination to defend the Constitution against all attacks, from whatever quarter made. -??'.???-? Congressional. WASHtseroN, March 9.-In the House, the bill securing civil rights to all persons without regard to color, in all the States, was referred back to the Judiciary Com? mittee. Many Republicans disagree as to the Constitutional power of Congress to pass the bill in its present shape, belicviug ft will invade to too great an extent the rights of the States. In the Senate, the Constitutional amend? ment apportioning representation among the States, wa? dfeonssecL Mr. Henderson offered a substitute, to the effect that no State, in presenting qualifications for voters, shall discrimi? nate on account of color and race. He ?aid that his own State-Missouri-will give the nejjro the right of suffrage, and the South should bc compelled to do so in five years. The substitute was not agreed to. The original resolution was then rejected by a vote of twenty-five to twenty-two Sumner and other radicals voting against it. -.<.??> SMUGGLING.-Important informa? tion has been received by Judge Ser? geant, Commissioner of Customs, as to smuggling goods into this country from Canada. It has bren ascertained that an immense traffic is carried on, the goods being supplied by the Hud eon Bay Company. The traders have three principal routes into Montana -by the way of Hellgate, just above the junction of the Hellgate and Big Blackfoot Fork Rivers, and passing around Fort Benton, on the Missouri River. The newly appointed agent in Dakota finds the SOO miles frontier too much for him to protect, and that a large quantity of goods come in across Red River by the way of Fort Union, on the Yellow Stone River. The Canada press, exasperated by the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty, are pointing ont the routes for smug? gling, and immense quantities of goods have been thrown into Mon? tana and adjacent Territories. It is hardly necessary to add that the Com? missioner of Customs has recommend? ed efficient measures by which this illegal traffic can be suppressed and the active agents brought to grief. {National Intelligencer. THU ASSAULTS ON THE PR?SIDENT THHIK POSSIBLE EFFECT.-It will be remembered that the assassination of Mr. Lincoln was attributed by the radical press to the effect produced upon weak minds by the abuse "In? dulged in by the " copperheads," who, it was said, "only needed the courage to have performed the deed themselves." But all the denuncia? tion of Mr. Lincoln by the Democra? cy never equalled the bitter vitupera? tion of which Sumner, Stevens and Forney have been guilty in regard to President Johnson-and how the hounds would re:-ace, if his assassi? nation should place Foster in the Pre? sidential chair ! However, they seem to forget that Johnson is from Tennessee, and that his name is Andrew. As the old An? drew bravely defied the machinations of his enemies, so we believe the new Andrew will prove equal to the emer? gency, and will frustrate the plans of the radicals either to assassinate him, or the Constitution. [Newark (N. J.) Journal. Two little negroes, whom we watch? ed with no little amusement a day or \ two ago, were sitting on the ban- ( quette, on Julia street, fast asleep, r with the sun shining down upon their oily countenances. In a short time, ! t the sun's warm rays were shaded j ! from them by a large house on the opposite side of the street. Without opening their eyes, or apparently awakening, the little darkies ' hitch-1 s ed" along the fence for a few feet,>t and as soon as the heat again struck j t them, they immediately subside * into j t peaceful slumber. This operation j t was repeated eight or ten times, \ c until they had thus traversed a dis- j ^ tance of seventy or eighty feet, and 11 reached the end of the fence, when j a they arose without a word and went \ \ in search, we suppose, of another ! roosting place. [Nero Orleans True Delta. I ] -'- i 8 TOPIOFTICAL.-A Mr. Thompson, I c of West Virginia, recently a judge of {t the Wheeling District, ha3 published ? c a book. What its title and what its I ? subject is no matter to the public, as ? 1 we are sure our readers will acknow- j t ledge after reading the following lucid j t extract: 11 Man becomes the diaphanous 11 ectype of the inner spiritual self, as t he is moulded and moulds his sur- t rounding organisms from instant to \ instant in their animalistic propensi- 1 ties, their human desires and pur- j ' poses, and in his higher spiritual j t manifestations of autopsie willing, t intellectualizing and loving. < - 1 The New York Herald, of the 5th 1 inst., says: "We learn that the old . veteran and patriot, General Scott, 1 who is at present in New Orleans, un- ? hesitatingly endorses all that Presi- c dent Johnson uttered in his speech i t on the 22d ult. The staunch old sol dier expresses the hope that he will yet see the North and South more firmly bound together than over, and t that to effect this, President Johnson i r has adopted the only true and proper I \ course. . i Tiie Secretary of War. The following, from the New York Herald, we publish because it is just, aud expresses the universal opinion both of statesmen and people, who have, in any earnest and disinterested manner, signalized their support of the restoration policy of President Johnson. If it be claimed that the peculiar qualifications of Mr. Stan? ton for the extraordinary juncture of the war justified his incumbency here? tofore, the same reason demonstrat? ed the impolicy of his return iu time of peace. His expulsion from the Cabinet by President Johnson would, we cannot doubt, be hailed by the country with nearly unanimous ap? probation. Mr. Stanton has been an evil in? fluence in the Cabinet from the day he entered it. He has abased his po? sition to the vilest uses, and the im? mense power that it gave him-the grand opportunities that it would have afforded any other to serve the country-have by him only been em? ployed to build up a selfish and fa? natical party. He never for a mo? ment considered the welfare o: the country where it stood in the way of r. party purpose. He never regarded the war as a struggle for the nation's life, but only as the opportunity to destroy forever the great Southern party of war; and now that the coun? try is saved, he opposes the notion that the war is at an end, simply because he fears that the party he de? sired to kill is not yet quite dead. His greatest fear during the war was not that the North would fail, but that it would succeed too soon ; that it would put down the rebellion before the people were ripe for radi salism-before, alarmed by the con? tinuance of the struggle, they would be ready to accept any idea and any measure that seemed to promise suc? cess. With this sole idea in view, he was a greater power against our gene? rals titan all the armies of the enemy together. He strove to carry out even igainst General Grant the tactics em? ployed against so many others, and ais creature Dana lived at Grant's headquarters for months, being nei? ther more nor less than a spy upon the great soldier. Baker was his spy upon others. Such were the tactics employed by this great Secretary against every one who should be guilty of defeating the rebels. They were enemies to the purposes of his party, and must be dragged down. And this man still sits in thc Cabinet as the adviser of the President, and still abuses his high position to further measures whose only end can be to build up a party on the ruins of freedom. He should be spurned from the place. He should be removed, and his re? moval would be recognized by the country as an act only second in its "ational and patriotic spirit to the veto of the Freedman's Bureau mili? tary despotism bill. [National Intelligencer. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.-A spe ?ial despatch to the New York World, lated San Francisco, 5th instant, says that a crisis in Mexican affairs is im ninent-so near, and approaching so :ast, that the United States may be ;alled upon to act at any moment in behalf of the rights and lives of its )\vn citizens. The French troops in the Northern md Western Mexican States have >een driven ignominiously to the :oast, and are hemmed in in a few >ort towns, from whence they are ba? de to be driven on board their vessels >f war for safety. Mazatlan is besieged, its streets mrricaded, and the Liberals, under Cortinas, are pressing close upon its ear. Fighting has occurred, in which he Liberals, aided by Americans who ?ecently enlisted, had been victorious. The antipathy of the French and he Imperial Mexicans to the Ameri ans is increasing. There are in tances of Americans having been hrown causelessly into prison, and hreats of the indiscriminate slaugh er of Americans are boldly made by he Mexican and Imperial authorities if certain towns. It is necessary that rar vessels should be despatched by he United States, to prevent trouble nd demand a decent respect for the Jnited St?ites flag and citizens. AFFAIRS IN CANADA.-Burglars and Fenians are keeping the Canadians dive, and bank robberies have be? come the rule, instead of the exeep ion, in the province, as described in )ur correspondence. The latest in itance reported is an attack on the janks of Lennoxville, by a party of wenty-five men. In connection with he attempted robbery of the Gore ?ank, Galt, some time since, start? ing circumstances have been brought o light. Two ex-aldermen of Toron o, a sergeant-major of police and a jatrol sergeant are now asserted to lave aided and abetted the notorious 'Bristol Bill" in thc commission of .he crime, together with Dr. Gustaff, ?he alleged prisoner recently extra lited from this city. Some of these lersons are in custody, while others lave fled from the country. The Go? vernors of the British provinces are ?olding council in Montreal. Defence igainst the Fenians and action on the :o:ifederation question are believed o bethe topics under discussion. [New York Herald. The general talk in Mississippi is hat tho planters are all trying to aise cotton to buy corn and meat rith, instead of making the corn and neat themselves. General Howard bas received a re? port from General C. B. Fisk, Assist? ant Commissioner of the Bureau for Tennessee, in which he reports that, in education, industry, justice and good order, there is a steady advance? ment The superintendente, chosen generally from citizens, have earnestly and successfully labored to place the freedmen in good homes at fair wages, or for a share of the crops raised. But few dependents upon the Govern? ment charity are now in the State. In December, only $620.28 were ex? pended in subsistence to the poor. Organizations among the freedmen themselves, for the relief of their own poor, have rendered valuable service. The Nashville Provident Association, a society conducted by the colored people of that city, has its coal and wood-houses, soup-houses, physi? cians, &c. This society relieves the suffering poor without distinction of color, and daily reports exhibit that a greater number of white than colored persons are its beneficiaries. Many widows and orphans, whose husbands and fathers fell fighting to perpetuate slavery, have been fed and warmed through the kindly offices of this as? sociation. To says General Fisk. The famous experiment of Perkins, in cutting hard steel by a disc of soft iron, was, not long since, repeated at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. The disc used was of steel, similar to those from which small circular saws are made, but annealed so as to be very soft. This was mounted on a steel spindle, furnished with a three inch driving-wheel, and the whole was carefully balanced. The driving wheel was connected by a belt with a 36-inch wheel, on the shaft of which was a 10-inch wheel, communicating with a 48-inch wheel driven by the engine. The engine running at 120 turns per minute, the result of the combination was that the soft steel disc revolved at a speed of 5,000 to 6,000 turns per minute. At this ve? locity, the hardest files were cut into like wood, a shower of sparks and a blaze of light being given off during the operation, but the edge of the disc did not show any 6igns of injury. The Washington National Intelli? gencer states that statistics at the Treasury Department show that the commonly received opinion that there is a balance of exports over imports in onr foreign trade, ir: without found? ation. The official values of the ex? ports are currency values; the values of imports are gold values; and, con? sequently, for the purpose of compa? rison, it becomes necessary to equal? ize them. For the three years, 1863, '64, and '65, the imports amount to $876,000,000 in gold, while the ex orts, valued officially in currency at 972,000,000, when reduced to a gold standard, are $662,000,000, leav? ing, instead of an overplus in our favor of $156,000,000, a deficit of $154,000,000. This is the true condi? tion of our foreign trade, and proba? bly explains the great flow of our Government securities to Europe. The Louisiana Legislature has passed an Act requiring property sold by the sheriff to bring its full ap? praised value; also, an Act releasing the people from the payment of State, parish or municipal taxes for 1862, 1864 and 1865, on real estate held for over three months by the Federal military authorities, against the con? sent of the owners thereof; also, returning to those who have paid their taxes on such property the amounts they have paid. REM A BK ABLE FACTS.-It is a very r?markable fact, (observes the Hart? ford Times,) that since the days ~f the second Adams, the opponents oi the Democracy have elected but three Presidents; that each of the?e Presi? dents have died in off ce; and that each of the vice-Presidents who took their places have been compelled to differ from the policy of the President whom he succeeded. CAPT. RAPHAEL SEMMES.-There is a report in Washington city that the Government has decided not to bring to trial che late commander of the Alabama, having come to the conclu? sion that his parole, given at the sur? render of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston to Gen. Sherman, is valid. If this report be correct, Capt. Semmes will probably be soon released from pri? son. A negro preacher, holding forth to his congregation upon the subject of obeying the commands of God, said: "Bredren, whateber God tells meto do in dis book (holding up the BiUe) dat I'm gwine to do. If I see in it dat I must jump troo a stun wall, I'm gwine to jump at it. Goin' troo it 'longs to God, jumpin' at it 'longs to me. ' A. Ward thus describes his perils at sea: "Deth stared us into the face. But we had rather the advan? tage ov Deth. While Deth stared us in the face thar was about 70 ov us starein Deth in the face. The pros? pect wasn't pleasin' to us. Not much. I don't knowhow Deth liked it." Gov. Jenkins, of Georgia, vetoed the stay law, on the ground of un? constitutionality. The Senate after? wards passed it over the veto by a vote of twenty-seven to seven. New York cotton brokers estimate the cotton in the United States, on the 1st of February last, at nearly 1,500,000 bales. A negro white-washer in Chicago, the other day became jealous of his wife, who was a white woman, and committed suicide. THAD. STEVENS AS JONAH.-The Republicans in Congress have been discussing the propriety of making a sort of Jonah of Thad. Stevens, and casting hin overboard in order to appease the storm. It is to be hoped that no whale can be found with so little self-respect as to receive the arch fanatic and vomit him forth on dry land again.- Wheeling Register. The prophecy imputed to Daniel Webster bears peculiar significance at this day: "If these fanatics and Abo? litionists ever get power into their hands, they will over-ride the Consti? tution, set the Supreme Court at defhiice, change and make laws to suit themselves. Finally, they will bankrupt the country and deluge it with blood." A whole village in Upper Hessia, Geriiany, is reported to have sold out, and viii remove to Missouri in the spring Th? harbor at Halifax, Nova Scotia, is ice-bonnd from the basin to the beach, and is likely to continue so for some time to come. A large meeting was held in Buffalo, New York, on the 3d, in support of Presiden; Johnson and his veto mes? sage. Old Dr. Jayne, of Philadelphia, is dead. A patent "ladies' hair parter" is the latest American invention. COMMERCIAL AN? FINANCIA!.. NEW YCRK, March 9.-Thc cotton market is dull, and has declined 1@2 cents per pound.
