FOUTUESS MoNnoE, May 10.-The writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Davis was served, this morning, on General Burton, by Marshal Underwood and Deputy Marshal Duncan. General Burton, at first, decided to deliver the prisouor to tho marshals, but afterwards decided on obeying tho writ literally, requiring bim to pro? duce Mr. Davis before the Richmond court. General Burton, Mr. Davis and family, and tho marshals, to? morrow morning, will take the steamer for Richmond. They will stop at thc Spotswood Hotel, in that city. Gen. Burton will, on Monday, personally produce the prisoner in court. lu the event of Mr. Davis being released by Judge Underwood, under tho writ, ho will bo immediately re-arrested, and placed on trial on an indictment for treason. Robert Ould and nume? rous other visitors, bearing hoquets, reached here this morning, on a visit to Mr. -Davis and family. The utmost interest is being manifested iu Nor? folk respecting tho probabilities of tho trial of Mr. Davis and his release. Tho following is a copy of General Burton's orders: WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D. C., May 8. Brevet Brigadier-General II. S. Bur? ton, U. S. A., or Commanding Officer of Fortress Monroe: Tho President of the United States directs that you surrender Jefferson Davis, now held confined, under tho military authority, at Fortress Mon? roe, to the United States Marshal, or deputies, upon any process which may issue from thu Federal Court of Virginia. You will report the action taken by you in this order, and for? ward a copy of any process served upon you to this ellice. Bj* order of th President.' E. D. TOWNSEND, A. A. G. RICHMOND, May 10.-Tho present indications aro that there will be no d?monstration by the people on the arrival of Mr. Davis, through defer? ence to the wishes of tho authorities, though there is great anxiety to see him. There was a largo meeting of ne? groes to-night, with the usual number of addresses. ---? . - - - The haunted bonne story ont West has been exploded by tho discovery of a child's whistle, used to fasten a rattling window, and which on windy" nights mude some funny noises. WHY ?A?saniJpte (^;n:T.~~Wbilo France hud *>rnss'ia "gvro\vl over tlio Luxemburg bone, Austria keepj quiet. Why? Not surely from ex? haustion from her little war of last 1 summer? No. Tho blow, ?he re? ceived then only' disclosed lier weak? ness. The trouble is, Austria is about bankrupt. She has been an enor? mous borrower from h?rown people and from foreign nations, mid inst end of recuperating under thu temporary shelter of new loans, ipho has only piled moro and m?ro weight upon her own head. Her bonds aro shunned by Enropenu markets, save as lit food for speculation iu times of continental excitement. Her annual fiscal receipts are nominally about $200,000,000, but ber average deficit is about ?40,000, 000. Her large civil aud military governmental expenses, her accumu? lated interest on foreign and domes? tic loans, hor hoavy dues in the de? partment of land redemption, swell the annual budget with ever-increas? ing expenses. While tho heavy taxes imposed upon her manufactures aro crippling them, years of neglect in tho rural districts have allowed her agriculture to go to waste; miserable roads, no canals or interior water communication, and poor railways, keep her provinces isolated aud use? less to each other, so that, during the Hungarian famine, a while ago, the Bohemian grain harvests were wan? tonly throwu open to the trampling and devouring of cattle, being too plentiful for possible use at home, and Tillable to bo sent abroad for lock of transportation. To crown all, thc people have begun to refuse to pay their taxes. Even in brilliant but hectic Vienna, the tax arrears reach ten and twelve per cent. _ It is suggested in radical quarters, that to secure a continuance of Re? publican supremacy, Congress miiht adopt tho Sumner plan, and force universal negro enfranchisement on nil tho States. Nothing else, ic is urged, will prevent Maryland from lapsing into Democratic rule, or a re? petition of the recent Democratic victory in Kentucky. Thc difficulty of legislating with exclusive reference to these States is admitted, and hence thc plea for reconstructing the whole North ns well ns tho whole South upon the radical basis. Tu? move? ment is wild as well as mischievous. A mere act of Congress would bo fu? tile for the purpose, and a constitu? tional amendment would be of no avail unless the States whose concur? rence is essential to ita validity>nre prepared to concede . impartial suf? frage. If thc States ore so prepared, tho amendment would be superfluous. And if they aro not prepared of them? selves to act, the amendment would amount to nothing. In either case, thc scheme is beset with difficulty. [New York Times. THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS.-For? ney's absoncefrom Ids editorial duties is not improving the tone and cha? racter of tho articles of tho Philadel? phia I'ress. Tba following paragraph is from that paper of the 4th: Tho news from tho White House is, as usual, calculated to encourage the loyalty and self-respect of tho country. Solomon Kohnstamm, con? victed of defrauding tho Government by presenting false claims, has been, in dna course pardoned by the Pre? sident. Ex-Mayor Monroe, of Now OrleaiiSj red with tho blood of Union citizens, on whose head rests the yet unreported crimo of the great riot, visits Andrew Johnson to ask for removal of General Sheridan. Great is the endurance and patience of tho American people. A VIOLENT HAIL STOHM.-On Mon? day, a severe hail storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning, passed over York County, Pennsylvania, doing much damage to the crops. The York Gazelle says: "In this borough, many panes of glass were broken by its. violence, particularly those facing towards the West, from which direction tho storm came. We learn that abont seventy large panes were broken in tho Court House, the same number of colored glass in the Presbyterian Church, a considerable number in tho Gorman Lutheran Church, and innumerable others, in varions parts of tho town. Animals caught in the storm became terribly frightened, and in many cases it was impossible to control them." Among the tricks of Now York legislators, tho correspondent of the B?llalo Commercial mentions tho fact that a bill was brought before the Senate as having been passed in tho House, when it had not been acted on at all in that body. The speaker's signature had been forged. Another bill was stoleu from the clerk's desk, in order to prevent its passage. A taking young lady, in Cincinnati, was caught with about five hundred dollars worth of silk dress patterns, hosiery, ic, which she had purloined -and secreted under her skirts. On account of her "respectable" con? nexions the store-keeper allowed her ti) go (?n her way rejoicing. Kev. E. P. Holland makes a w ine from tho'sumac, which is said to be un excellent tonic. One kind of sumac has always been considered poisonous, and used by tanners in curing hides. If anybody wants his hide "cured," wo should advise bim to commence on "sumac wine." Vermont has 11,415 Methodists, and 148 churches ot that denomina? tion. THE lia^. COSAN (TEI^LAT-H^ The New York SHU, of Tuesday, gives us the following information relative to this enterprise: Within two years we may expect to be iu direct communication with France through the medium of n cable extending from this city, tu Brest. According to the terms of the bill passed by the last L?gisla? ture, the company will forfeit their, grant if they fail to complete'ibo work within the stipulated two years. They are to have the exclusive right, for a period of twenty years, to lay telegraphic cables connecting Now York with France, and it is stipulated that the Stat*? shall have priority Of privilege in the transmission of mes? sages. It is to bo hoped that tho new enterprise will provo successful. Tho present cable is managed with tho single purpose of enriching ita stock? holders, and without regard for the requirements of its patrons. Tho rates arc so high that tho liuc is said to bo unemployed three-fourths of tho time, and yet, nt the recent meet? ing of directors, it was decided not to diminish the prices. Competition is needed to bring this business down to its legitimate level, and the pro? posed lino will, therefore, bo of great benelit in the way of securing lower rates. Half a dozen lines across the Atlantic would pay well and have plenty of business if the charges were only within reasonable bounds. THE . REPUBLICAN PAUTY.-T-A New York journal says thc causes that are "disintegrating that heterogeneous compouud known as tho Republican party aro at work all over the coun? try. But tho process is stow. When the present financial difficulties reach their height, tho rupture will be tho? rough and complete. It will be on\y lit and proper. Tho Republican party had a mission, and fulfilled it. There is no longer any occasion for it, and it will' pass off thc stage of action. Tho people have submitted to a deal of tyranny during tlie last few years, because they thought it necessary in order to preserve the Union ?from being torn asunder. Now that danger is past, they sec no need for submis? sion to undue restraint. Those who suppose them, from their recent acts, indifferent to personal freedom, labor under a great mistake. Tho freest nations of old had their dictators in times of emergency; but when the danger was past, the dictator was obliged to surrender his extraordin?r}' powers. So with the American peo? ple. Tho day of absolute power in the bauds of a few is passing away." Duriug the last week there were 405 deaths in New York city and the public institutions, and 105 in Brooklyn. The per ccutage in both cities, according to Dr. Harris, con? tinues to show the deleterious effects of the present to?emeut house sys? tem. Tho presence of cholera is not reported in any of the large cities of Europe, aud we may reasonably i expect that thc commercial towns in i the Mississippi valley will bc thc only 1 sources whence pestilence can reach ] New York the present year. _< ? ? ?- _ SUDDEN BLINDNESS.-A daughter of Sheriff Dessosway, of Betlehem, Pennsylvania, aged about ten years, a few weeks since, while at school, complained of paiu in her eyes, aud asked permission to go home. Her request was granted, but before she reached her home, which was about five hundred yards from the school, she became totally blind. Up to this timo all efforts to restore her sight have proved fruitless. A monster bird, of tho pelican species, was shot on tho Ynzoo a few days since. It measured nine feet seven inches from tip to tip, six feet three inches from point of beak to the feet, and its crop, by actual mea? surement, held a little over half a bushel of shelled corn. A Scotch old maid, who was asked to subscribe to raiso men for tho king during the late war, auswered, "Iudeed, I'll do nao sie thing; I never could raiso a mau for myself, and I'm not gang to raise a man for King George." Tho Tuscumbia Alabamian asserts that the farming operations in North Alabama arc seriously interrupted by recruiting officers, who carry off able bodied negroes without regard to their contracts previously mode with farmers. Tho Chicago Journal says: "A gentleman connected with the bu? siness management of this paper, has eaten no meat for fifteen years past, enjoys excellent health, and has a complexion that any lady might covet for its clearness." The New Orleans Crescent Pays thai in certain parts of the city there is a split between tho mulattoes and darker complex ii mn, because those of the lighter color wish to monopolize thc ornees. A short lime since, two young ladies, well known, were holding high converse over tho virtues of a certain new dress. "And does it iii well?" asked one. "Fit! as if T had been melted and poured in." Some liberal Gentiles in Salt Lake are trying to buy out tho Union Vt dette, so as to destroy its anti-Mor? mon influence. The proprietors ask 920,000, but tho others oller $15,000. Tho Dahlonega Sentinel says that tho farmers aro jubilant over tho wheat crop in that and adjoining Counties. ijrf.fi i ii i .)?? j toa g M ' ! j ""1 A BOSTON OPERATOR.?-Tho? parti? culars below of a recent failuro in Boston are contninned in a special from that city to the New York Times: "A small earthquake in financial circles disturbed tho equilibrium of operators in State street and its vici? nity to-day, occasioned by the failuro of one of tho most extensive mani? pulators iu Franklin, Humboldt, Hancock, Huron, Copper, Falls, Hecla, &o., in this city, and Corydon in . New York. At about 3 o'clock, this afternoon, Mr. John Leighton was arrested on a process sued out by New York parties, aud conveyed to comfortable quarters, where ho will bo confined, awaiting a requisition from tho Governor of Now York. His failuro is moderately estimated at SI,ODO,OOO, ono house having a olaim against him of near 6880,000, while Iiis assets are inconsiderable. He waa well known as one of tho most dashing outside operators in the financial arena of thc Hub. He was afraid of nothing, and had thc nervo and confidence of n lion, as bc was, among the bears and bulls." GREELEY, ON VILLIANS.-There aro two sorts of villians who seem to us deserving of special reprobation : 1. Those who made money by fleecing thc Government during tho Into civil war, and whose crime aggravates robbery by treason. 2. Those who say they know where and by whom such villainies were perpetrated, yet have never denounced them to the proper authorities, aud do not now ?cense them distinctly and by name. [Tribune. A PETITION Fon THE DISARMING: or BKOWNLGW'S BANDITS.-The Presi? dent is about to bo petitioned by citizens of Tennessee to disarm tho militia of that State, by requiring that the 10,000 stand of arms fur? nished by resolution of Congress be placed in the arsenal during a timo of peace. These arc now distributed in tho hands of unorganized mcu, and if allowed in actual use, it is claimed that civil war must result. If the Vermonters aro good tem? perance people, their fathers aud mothers were not. Of the thirty three items of a tavern bill of a Christmas ball at St. Albans, in 1827, twenty-seven were for brandy, gin, rum, wine, Aro., and of tho forty dol lars paid, only about eighteen dollars went for the twoeatingsof tho thirty live couples, and eighty cents for thc j "musi?le." On Wednesday night, n planter, lamed Smith Wilson, residing in jrcriiiuntown, near Memphis, while utting on a sofa, talking to his wifo, vas sliet through tho window by au ink no wu assassin. He fell into his vi fe's arms and expired. No clue :o the murderer. During the discussion, by tho law? yers, of. the Georgia injunction case, u tho Supreme Court on Friday, it s stated that Judge Grier slept in :iis chair for half au hour or moro. Ho will doubtless concur in his opinion with the rest of tho Bench. The Boston Pout says that it is a singular fact that Tennessee, which Jongress singled out as a special pet iud favorite, has been tho scene of moro disorder and difficulty siuco the var ended than have occurred in all ;he excluded States. THE DUYEKENCE.-Tho public lebt of England pays three per cent, interest; tho public debt of tho United States about six per cent-a lifTerenee wliioh newspaper men, in making comparisons between the two, generally lose sight of. There is a shoemaker in Maino so ;ender-hearted, that ho always shuts lis eyes when he runs his awl into a tole. COMMRIICIAL, AXIJ FINANCIAL. NEW Yoiuc, May 10-Noon.-Stocks ictive. Gold 87??.
