On Tuesday, when Mr. Morrill had offered a resolution to appropriate $25,000 to the destitute negroes*in the District of Columbia, Mr. Sauls bury offered an amendment appro? priating a like sum for the relief of ? the destitute white people of the District, to be appropriated under the direction of the Mayor of Wash- j ington. Mr. Morrill said no appeal had been made to the committee in be? half of the poor white people of the District, and he thought the Senator j was paying a very poor compliment to them to ask for such an appropria? tion. The poverty and helplessness ; of these poor colored people was well known. He would suggest to the Senator to withdraw his amend? ment. Mr. Saulsbury said that he had no doubt that there were hundreds and thousands of poor colored people in the District, but he never walked Pennsylvania Avenue that he was not solicited by poor little white girls and boys for alms. There were thousands of whites in the District to-day who were just as helpless as the blacks. We were told that when slavery was abolished in this District it was to be converted into a paradise. A very graphic picture of that paradise has just been drawn by the Senator from Maine (Mr. Morrill). He did not see so much destitution among the ne? groes of this District. Day after day, when he looked up into these galle? ries, he saw hale, hearty, young colored men, vie wing the proceedings. And how few poor young white men are able to do that! All he asked was that the same feeling of humani? ty should be displayed towards our own race as towards the negro. Mr. Willey suggested to the Sena? tor from Delaware that it would meet his views to strike out the word colored, so as to leave the appropria? tion to be divided amongst all desti? tute people. Mr. Saulsbury declined to with? draw his amendment. If the money was to be expended under the direc? tion of the Mayor of "Washington, he would have no objection; but every one knew that if the Commis? sioner of the Freedmen's Bureau had the dispoal of it, none but negroes would receive any portion of ii;. The amendment was lost Mr. Willey moved to amend by striking out the word "colored" from the resolution ; which was agreed to. Mr. Davis offered an amendment, as an additional section, that the corporate authorities of the District be authorized to find proper employ? ment for the able-bodied . olored and black persons, and that $5,OOO be ap? propriated for such purpose. Mr. Kirkwood moved to strike ont the word "black." He did not see why white people should not work as wt?? as black. | Laughter. ] Adopted. Mr. Nesmith moved an amend? ment so as to exclude members of Congress from those for whom the city authorities shall find employ? ment. [Laugh ter. ] Mr. Nesniith's and Mr. Davis's amendments were lost. After which, the appropriation was passed. -??"- . PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.-The Journal cf Commerce intimates that clmnges in office will probably soon be made. Mr. Johnson has waited quite long enough in taking his stand against Northern radicalism, and has not spoken a moment too soor. As a general rule, it is desirable to make few changes in public offices, pro? vided the men who fill them are known to be honest and capable. But in times like the present, when the worst dangers to the Gove.nment are from the radical revolutionary party, it would seem to be impossible for the President to permit the uso of large official patronage against his own measures, and in favor of the destructionists. It is a subject of immediate practical importauce. Here in New York and near this city some of the most valuable offices, employ? ing many voters, and having extensive influence in political circles, are held by men who make no scruple of de? nouncing the President in their daily conversations, and in the whole sweep of their official influence. The same is true in other localities. It is a misfortune that office-holders have so much political power; but it is a fact not to be overlooked, and thc Pre? sident probably understands it. QUOTING SCRIPTURE.--Tho following is from the New York Bay Hook : Senator Wade says in the United , States Senate: "We can say with St. "*NEaul, we have fought the good fight." Would to God you were abbs to say with St, 'Paul, also, that you had .'finished your course." ) ? Nineteen steamers yob I in Baiti jmre for 8119,000. Cotton and Corn. A Macon exchange states that little or no corn will be raised in the South this year, owing to the erroneous profits which are expected to be real? ized from the growth of cotton. In view of the fact that the South must buy all the breadstuff's it needs, the same paper says: "The West must now feed us; and, if the freedman turn out to be a faithful laborer, the trade between the South and West will exceed anything before known." There is scarcely any doubt but that the South will devote its whole energies to the raising of cotton. It cannot possibly cost more than eight cents a pound in gold to grow it; while, if the crop turns out at all fair, it must sell for over twenty-five cents a pound in gold. So large and so certain a margin ?B rarely offered for an agricultural product, and all ac? counts agree that, with the freedmen or without them, a very large amount will be rais%d if the season is at all propitious. So great is tho demand for white labor to go to the South-west, that there is an absolute scarcity of farm hands at the West, notwithstanding the stoppage of tho war; and wages rule so high that farmers are holding meetings to induce laborers to come from the East. Indeed, there is a fear that the high price of labor, and the rates charged for transportation of freight on the railroads, will dis? courage the growth of breadstuff's this year, when they will be much needed to feed the South. The heavy trade which will spring up next summer and fall between the South and West will have important political, as well as business conse- j quencos. It will give great activity to the ship-yards to supply the im? mense fleet of steamers which will be needed on the Southern rivers to re? place those destroyed by tho war; while cities like St. Louis, Memphis, Cincinnati and Louisville will add enormously to their trade. The more intimate commercial re? lations between the South and West will not be without their influence on the fall elections. If the present Congress persists in keeping the South out of the Union, the West will be revolutionized politically when Congressmen are to be chosen. The Western people are too generous, as well as too shrewd, to needlessly hu? miliate the section which will be their best customer.-Hew York Grain and Flour Reporter. How O'MAHONEY mu, TAKE IRE I LAND.-We get an inkling of O'Ma j ney's pinn for conquering Ireland, 1 with his base of operations in New I York, from the New York Citizen. ! Miles O'Reilly says: j "The project of invading Ireland j by means of a tunnel, starting from ? Coney Island, and to emerge some ! where in the city of Dublin, not far from the Lord Lieutenant's castle, is now much discussed by the beat en? gineering minds in the Fenian ranks, i The objecti a made by Chief Engi i neer Craver, of the Croton Depart? ment, to tho construction of the Broadway Underground Railroad-to wit: that it would interfere with I mains and gas pipes-would not ap i ply, it is conceded, to the proposed I liberalizing excavation beneath and j across the Atlantic The tunnel would be far from, an unremunerat j ing work, it may be argued, as, after the Fenians had used it, and annexed Ireland as the most. Eastern State of the Union, ' jey could sell it out at so many thousand dollars per yard for general railroad purposes. [Cincinnati Commercial. EJSHOP LYNCH TO BE A C ABD IN AL. The New York Tribune, not in a very good humor, says: "It is now regarded as certain that at the next Papal Consistory, one of the Bishops of the United States will be created a Cardinal. Acoording to the prevalent opinion in Rome, this distinction is to be conferred, not upon any of the Bishops who, during ^he war, showed a warm sympathy for the cause of the Union, nor upon any one of those who kept a pro? found silence on the national ques? tion, nor upon any of the seven Arch? bishops, but upon the especial envoy from Jefferson Davis to Rome-Bx I shop Lynch, of Charleston. Of I course, this opinion rests only on ? rumors, and may yet turn out to be I without foundation." SECBETABY STANTON.-Speaking of ! the radical meetings recently inaugu ' rated in Pennsylvania under the aUB I pices of Dead Duck Forney, the ? National Intelligencer, among other ? pen-portraits, tims portrays the Sec ; rotary of War, whose name was ! cheered by that convocation of politi I cal worms: And Edwin M. Stanton was en ? dorsed-the Secretary of War, who j is the author of such hideous wrongs, i that in the forum of the people he I has no defender, and who is now i virtually on trial before the Supreme j Court of the United States, with the infamous Butler for his counsel, upon ; an issue arising from unlawful mili ' tary arrests and imprisonments. The Alexandria Gazette, says: En? graving of Gens. Grant and Sherman were presented to the managers of fae ! Fair, for the benefit of the Methodist I Episcopal Church, South, yesterday 1 evening, by the parties who had the ; pictures of Gens. Lee and Jackson re? moved from tho position they oc ! cupied in tho Fair on Thursday night, j and are now on exhibition and for j salo there. SEED BARLEY FOB DISTRIBUTION. The Commissioner of Agriculture has jnst received, direct from Hamburg, three very superior varieties of bar? ley, selected for the purposes of the department from over one hundred samples exhibited at the agricultural fair at Stettin, Germany, last year, which are now ready for distribution in small quantities to such as may desire to improve this important crop, no other seed being as susceptible of improvement in this country as bar? ley imported from Europe. [National Intelligencer. A MODEST PROPOS VL.-A -writer in the New York Tribune proposes to es? tablish somewhere, either in Mary? land or Virginia, a colony, "where temperance and equal rights shall prevail;" to improve "both white and black by planting in their midst % civilization far in advance of that now existing there." This reminds UH of the sending ont > of missionaries by the Mormons to " convert the Gentile?." \RicJimond Dispatch. A special despatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer, from Lexington, Kentucky, February 17, 3ays: The supersti? tious, and particularly evil ones, arti troubled about the reported appear? ance of Satan in Harrison. Absurd as it may sound, hundreds confident? ly believe the monstrosity. It is said to have been seen in that County in several places, and to be the veritable Evil One. Innumerable rumors are circulating about the appearance, horns, tails, steel hoofs and fiery breath of this infernal visitant. The Richmond Examiner says: The pretense that the Southern people favor repudiation is utterly without foundation, and is the fabrication simply of a class of presses and orators. We do not remember to have heard even a single person in the South express a desire for repudi? ation. We have, nothing to gain by such a step as that, that we can discover. We are a part of the count y, and we have to bear our share of the expenses of the Govern? ment. A SUGGESTION.-The Washington Intelligencer commends to every citi? zen at the North who has acquaint? ance at the South, extensive or other? wise, to open correspondence at once, in order to ascertain for himself the condition of public sentiment there, and makes this suggestion in view of the testimony (ex parte) now being given to the country by the " Central Directory " in Congress. Cleveland has no water to drink. The petroleum refineries throw their ; waste into the river, and the result is : that the water supply is fouled pasi I remedy. Even the ice which has been j : cut for use next summer isimpregnat \ ed with oil. It is proposed to extend ' pipes far out into the lake, imitation of Chicago. ONE OF THE HORRORS.-A Western ' soldier, who has been through all the ; campaigns, aud shared in many of j the fiercest battles of the war, writes I from his home that he "never real j izod the horror of war, till be got j home to Indiana ?nd fouud his girl I married to a stay-at-home dry goods clerk." Mr. Flint, paymaster United States Navy, and sub-editor under Charles W. Butts, of the Norfolk Old Domi? nion, was flogged in his office on Saturday by three gentlemen. Mr. Flint will survive bis wounds. Upon thc approach of the assailants the assistant editors fled, including Mr. j Butts. The Mobile Register has introduced a new position in that establish ment? it has engaged a "talking editor," who will occupy an office fitted up with cartoons representing scenes from the Castle ol Indolence, where he will be happy to receive visitors between the hours of eleven at night and eight in the morning. The Nashville Union says that on St. Patrick's day in that city a num? ber of the 16th Regulars, of Irish extraction, appeared in the streets with the Fenian badges on their coats; but as the blue was a sufficient uni? form for meu in the United States service, a guard was sent out who took all who wore the "green" iu custody. The Nashville Union and American states that Brownlow has gone to Knoxville to resume his old business of blackguarding Andrew Johnson, having exhausted his vocabulary of billingsgate in that Une years ago, he can only re-hash his old sayings. The President having survived it once will survive it again. NEW COTTON PICKING MACHINE. The Boston Commercial says that at the meeting of the Institute of Technology held in that city on Thursday even? ing of last week, an ingenious and useful machine for picking cotton was exhibited. It is worked by horse? power, and with it one man does the work of twenty-five bands. The Mississippi has at length out a channel through Terrapin Neck, in the vicinity of Vicksburg, by which the river is shortened some fifteen miles. This has been expected for years, and is gratifying to steamboat men, but disastrous to the plantations below Vicksburg. G. B. Caldwell fell overboard from the steamer Express, at Augusta, on tho night of the 11th, and was drowned From Barop? The steamer Australasia has arrived with Liverpool dates, to the 10th inst. The shareholders of tho Atlantic Tele? graph Company unanimously adopted a resolution approving the arrangements made by the directors with the Anglo-Ame? rican Company, oto., for laying the cable this year-upwards of ono hundred milos of cable to be laid per week, and June 15th is fixed upon as the time for tho Great East'-rn to leave Sheerness. Undiminished confidence is generally expressed in tho success of the scheme. President Johnson's speech at Washing? ton, on the 22d ultimo, v as very generally app anded. The Times warmly eulogizes it. Tho Daily News gives it unqualified approval, and bitterly denounces Bancroft's oration. In the House of Commons, the Parlia? mentary oatli bill was read a second time, after DTsraeli had given notice of an amendment which will make the oath re? cognize the supremacy of tbe Queen and acknowledge allegiance to her successors. The reform question is actively discussed by the papers. The FiUl Mall Gazette assumes it as cer? tain that Earl Russell's ministry must soon dissolve, whether defeated apon the reform question or not. lu the London Bankruptcy Court, appli? cation was made for the release from cus? tody of George N. Sanders, now a prisoner for debt. His debts exceed ?10.000 ster? ling. His bankruptcy is attributed to ilia disappointment in the execution of a contract with the Confederate Government for building iron-plated vessels. There was no opposition to his release, but owing to some informality the matter was post? poned. The Irish police continue to carry out their extraordinarv powers with great vi? gor. The police are still searching for Stephens in Dublin. It is stated that the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs is authorized to make a fresh treaty with the French Government for the completion of the Austrian volun? teer corps for Mexico. COMMERCIAL. AND FINANCIAL.. GREAT FALL ES DRY Goons.-The New York Post, of last Tuesday, says : Prices of goods of all descriptions are falling. Tho decline was great yesterday, though some kinds of merchandize were held by owners with considerable firmness. So much effort to make sales has rarely been put forth, and the disposition was everywhere manifest to closo transactions and to .'realize." The concession in dress goods is ' irge--it extends print? and all fine fabrics- ; on standards and woolens ?tis lightest. The fall in ono month, on tho basis of some of the prices of goods sold at auction, yesterday, is reported to be fully ono hundred per cent., but this is, of i course, no criterion whatever of the mar ! Ret. The averago decline may not exceed j twenty or twenty-five percent*, in that line. There is a very general feeling of inse-1 curity in business circles, amounting to almoat a panic iu sciue quarters, and this adds to the depression. Nobody questions the policy of selling, but the public, and particularly the men in business, do not readily buy.

It is said that all the Austrian troops in Bohemia have been ordered to Attona, which is the principal city of Holstein, close to Hamburg, and that Prussia has or? dered three army corps to be got rea? dy for active service at once. If Aus? tria gets involved in a war with Prus? sia, the annexation of Venetia to the Kingdom of Italy may be expected, almost as a certainty.
