London, February 23.?It is said, on tbe assembling of Parliament, it will bo immediately prorogued until the 12th of March, so that members who have ac? cepted ofiice from DTeraeli may have the opportunity to go before their con? stituents for re-elcotion. It is also said that the Queen's speech will not bo read until Parliament re-aBsembles. It is probable the Right Hon. Sir William Robert Seymour Fitzgerald wilfc be ap? pointed Under Secretary of State for India; Hart Dnke has received the ap? pointment of Patronage of the Secre? tary of the Treasury. A correspondent of the Standard on the gold coast writes that a treaty of peace has been signed by General Sir Garnet Wolseley and the King of Ashan tee. A special to the Times, from Calcutta, says 280,000 persons are distressed from want of food in the distriats of Tier hoot and Boglipoor.an the Presidency of Bengal. The same despatch says it is estimated that but for the aid fur? nished by tbe Government, 500,000 per? sons would have perished. Charles Shierle Brooks, tho celebrated English novelist and dramatic author, is dead. TelagrapUlc?American Hatter*. THE IjIQOOB TBAFFia?MARINE DISASTERS ?DEATH OF STEVE IiOWBEY, ETC. Washington, February 22.?The House Committee on the Judiciary have made a report, in which they say that oh all other property aud rights of pro? perty of persons engaged in the late re? bellion have, by general Aots of am? nesty and laws of the United States, been exempted from confiscation, there can be no reason for now retaining on tbe statute books such Acts and parts of Aots as were very properly enacted to prevent aid and comfort to tho enemies of the United States during the war, which by their ' impedimenta to the cre? ditors of the United States during the war receiving their just dues, amount to the confiscation thereof; ?ud also such Acts, to the same effect, which were passed to hinder aud prevent disloyal persons, whose disabilities bad not then been removed, because of their participa? tion in the rebellion, from making any claim against the Government for debts due, aud claims not arising ont of the rebeiliou priur Iuciolu, o'uoum Uib? bw rcpcslcd. Ttc ooEsmi' t-of?? therefore, report a bill repealing tho joint resolu? tion of March 2, 18C7< prohibiting the payment of debts doe by the United States boforo the war, unless loyalty is proved, aud repealing the oath at pre? sent required of applioauts for pensions. The most plausible statement regard? ing tho new eleotion for Louisiana is ab follows: The Demoorats, failing to inau? gurate the McEnery governmeut by a dircot vote in the Senate, will vote to oommit Carpenter's bill to tbe Commit? tee on Privileges and Elections, with instructions to report at an early day. It is understood that all the Democratic . Senators, except'Saulsbury and Bayurd, twill support the new eleotion, end theso two have made a positive announce? ment. Mr. Carpenter claims that every t Republican who supported the bill last year, except two, will support it now. He failed then by ouly two votes, with all the Demoorats voting against him. Butler is quoted: "If it passes the Se? nate, it is certain to pass the House." Tho friends of tho present govornment in Louisiana, to whom tho abovo was submitted, report that the prospects of a new election are highly over-stated. It is fair to say that the Democrats have had no formal consolation meanwhile. The Herald, of to-day, publishes, addi? tional evidence, aud urges, ns a matter of common justice to Judge Durell, that his coarse should bo brought to ques? tion before tho Senate Its oomments are quite bitter. Tho ulleged bank? ruptcy swindle enters largely into the question as arguod by the Herald, but, as Marshal Packard says, "they can't , impeach Norton." The Tribune is ear? nest for a new election. The Times argues. that there is no constitutional guarantee for a new election. Tho best "opinion is, that the troublo will be bridged over by parliamentary delays. There is no doubt, however, about tho people of the North sympathizing very deeply with the white people of South Carolina, Mississippi aud Louisiana, and that the persistent bad behavior will bring Federal restraint on tho nation's late wards. In response to a resolution of inquiry, tbo Secretary of tbo Treasnry to-day transmitted to the House a statement ia regard to the captured and abandoned property fuad, containing tho following information: The total amount of money covered into tbe treasury, as proceeds of the sales of oaptured and abandoned property, consisting almost ontirely of cotton, was $20,910.105. Of this amount, there have been paid to claimauts, noder awards of the Oourt of Claims, $6,300,303, and as judgments of the United States Circuit Court for New York, $97,731, and ?8 awards by the Secretary of the Treasury, under Act of May 18, 1872, $97,784. The fund hau also been diminished bj? $75,000, ex? penses of oolleotion, leaving a balance in the treasury of $14,410,497. There remain unpaid judgments of the Oourt of Claims amcmntiug to $1,834,011. New York, February 21.?It appears that the war upon the liquor dealers is to be taken op by Trinity Church. Many of the old members, especially women, have remonstrated with the trustees against letting the property of the church for th<5 sale of intoxicating i beverage?, and it has been decided that in future the property shall not bo let for snob purposes; and as fast as present leases expire, holders engaged in objec? tionable business must vacate. Under this rule, about forty retail dealers, soma of them keeping well-known places of resort, will bs obliged to retire on the 1st of May. It is also stated that members o? a Methodist Episcopal Church are making inquiries to ascer? tain if any members of tboir church own houses used for the sale of liquors, for gambling or more nefarious pur? poses, that changes may be effected. The steamer North Pacific, while in a gale near San Juan: Island, reoeutly, struck a annken rock and stove a bole forward. She was finally towod safely into Victoria.

The bureaus' business generally suspended. New York, February 23.?A Puris let? ter says the Governor of Paris has asked permission of the Assembly to prose? cute M. Melvil Bloncourt, Deputy for Gaudaloupn, for participation in the acts of tho Commune. Melvil Blon? court is the ouly negro in the Chamber, and sits upon the extreme left, among the extreme Radical*. He was Deputy Minister of War under Cluseret. The Assembly bad takou no action, but it was probable that Melvil Bloncourt will fly to England.

A little daughter of Mrs. Watson, of Columbus, Ga., was killed by lightning on the 19th. Her body was scorched badly and her clothing bar nod. Several Sersans in the same house were knocked own at the time. Grnoe Greenwood, ia her last letter from Colorado, describes a typical poor white family of Missouri, cureless, shift? less nnd intolerably lazy, the daughters of wbieb were accustomed to go bare? foot till tbo roles of their feet were ub bard ns horn; and then tells this story: "One of these yonng ladies, oa coming homo, one day, after a long traaap in tbo rain after the cow?, was standing on the hearth drying her clothes, when her old mother drawled out, *Sul, tbar's?a ?live?ooal?under?yer?foot.' Ti t girl slightly turned her head, and drawled back, 'Which?foot, mnuimy?' " From TnE Church to . the Grave.? Oa Sunday evening, tbo Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, of Brooklyn, N. Y., preached a terrific sermon on future punishment. Many of tbo congrega? tion were deeply affected. Among those present was Mary Lincoln, a young lady whose home was ia Rhodo Island, but who was visiting her friends iu Brooklyn. When she went to the church sho was apparently in her usual good heultli. At tbe conclusion of the discourse she fainted, and was carried out" of tho church. Before her frieoda could get her home she died. General Rcaurcgurd has tried the "firele8s engine," on tho Now Orleans street railroad, of which he is President, two years, nnd believes in it. It starts with a pressure of 125 pounds and makes a six rnilo trip with an average loss of Beventy-five pouuds. Ouo en? gine is equal to nine mules, is more manageable, and can be more easily stopped and started again; aud the ex< peuBO of running a road with this species of motive power is only a quar? ter tbo cost of mule power. A Washington telegram to tho New York Herald says: "President Grunt, in recent conversation with Southern mem? bers of Congress, remarked that as far I as it was in his power, ho should here I after strictly follow the policy of con? ferring appointments iu the South ou those whose loyalty aud character were such a9 to entitle thorn to his favorable consideration. Ho was of tbe opinion that tho so-called carpet bag element had not contributed much to the good of the party in that section." Tho French Prince Imperial will bo come of age on the ISth of March, aud apprehensions are evidently felt that a Bouapartist reaction in the Empire will oulminote ou that day. Tho prefects have, therefore, been instructed to keep a watch upon people who leave their de? partments for Chiselhurst for the pur? pose of doing homage to the Priuae. This crisis oucb past, tho republic will breathe freer. A Compliment to Atlanta Contrac? tors.?The Courier-Journal nays: At? lanta bus built a granite Confederate monument sixtytivo feet high, for 81,000. Almost any whore elso the contractor for snob n structure would have iusisted upon a margin of nt least 81,000 stealage, and wouldn't have., struck a lick of work until he got it. We ?shan't be surprised to hear that the man who built tbn tmonument has been afflicted with "tho vice of honesty" until he has fallen away to a mere bloat. Love, Miss., letter in the Memphis Appeal: "A negro insulted soino ladies in Banks, Love Sc Co.'a store, and at I tuujptvw v., h??.y ?&s o* !irc, ho was politely kicked oat. The negro thereupon drew a dirk, and made at tho young tnnu, cutting his coat just above tho region of the heart, striking with such force that the dirk in the de? scent entered his own thigh, severing the femoral artery. Tbe uegro dud iu a short time from loss of blood." The morning after tho celebration of Murdi Grus, iu New Orleans, two pro? minent citizens, who hud been active contributors and participants iu tho festival, departed this life suddenly? Col. A. W. Klerriam, tlu* proprietor of the Crescent City Billiard Saloon, (who is believed to have porsouuted Comus,) and Mr. Thomas Clark, a well known merchant. Apoplexy iu the one case, heart disease iu tho other. On? of the Washington courts once undertook to decipher tho name signed to a letter, aud the bench und bar finally decided that it was "\V. 11. Nurb;" but, iu the end, it turnad out to be M. It. Wuite, the name of tho new Chief Jnstice. All really great men write their names illegibly; must small men, who fancy themselves great, do not, re? garding bad penmanship, ns tho com? mon run of fools do, as a mark of great* UC88. At a school examination, an cloqueut clergyman mado a brief address to the pupils on tho necessity of obeying their teachers and growing up loyal and useful citizens. To emphasize his remarks, he pointed to a largo national flag spread on one side of the room, nnd inquired: "Boys, what is that flag for?" A little urohin, who understood the condition of the houso better than the speaker, promptly answered, "To hide the dirt, sir." The Utica (N. Y.) Harald says two old ladies troubled a conductor on tho Centtul road, one protesting that she should die if the window was open, and the other protesting against shutting it, when an experienced traveler advised the conductor to settle the matter iu this way: "Open tho window and kill oue, and then oloso it and kill* tho other, aud thou we shall have peace." A Connecticut clock company bas shipped a curious clock to San Francis? co, to be placed in tho tower of the greatest hotel oa tbo continent, where it will furnish the time for 51)0 dials, whioh are to be operated'by compressed air carried iu pipes all over the build? ing. The building has 500 rooms, and there is to be a dial ia every room. The Los Animus (Colorado) Leader says the Duke of Somerset, England, has beeu sojourning and hunting in Beat Goanty, in that territory, for some weeks past, and that he gets $250,000 a year for beiug bis father's son. The Iddino8 are again in searoh of pate-faced scalps. And no wonder. If a white man were to treat his neighbois half as badly as the Indiaus are habit? ually treated by the Government, ho would bo tarred and feathered, dragged through a horse-pond, rode on a rail, aud banished from tho community, and justice would weep to soo the thing slopped, oven at that. In allusion to tho enormous sums re? ceived by spies, informers, custom houso officers, etc,, for alleged infrac? tions of revonae lows, tho New York Tribune remarks that "it should not be forgotton that theso large amounts Co dot' represent-the spoils of smugglers; they are the avails, to a great extent, of loxtortious and oppressions levied on I the commerce of tho country." I The Detroit Free Press tolls its read ears that people iu Southern Indiana who "own sixteen or eighteen dogs, are oouuted as high-noBed uristocrats." If tho editor of the Free Press supposes I that ho can come to any poiut iu this country and move in tho first circles of society with anything leas than tweuty dogs, wo should liko to Bee him try it. I Indian Policy.?An Indian greatly dreads hanging. So does a white man. Gou. Ilarney used to ourb tho savages by prescribing a rope cravat when ho caught them. Ho attributes all present Indian difficulties to dishonest agents and bad whiskey, and recommends the hanging of the ono and confiscation of the other. The Spanish Wau ?The famous Mo rioncs, who, for the last six mouths, has beeu overthrowing and anihilating the Carlists on paper, has again run away. He ad vanned to the relief of Bil boit, but when he got noar the city his usual disoretiou overcame him, so he beat a hasty retreat, leaving the town to tuke care of itself. Up to the 13th of this month, tho re? ceipts of cotton at tho port of New Or? leans were over 1,000,000 bales. This is 123,003 bales more than up to the same date last year, and are the largest receipts of ootton since tho war. It is said that the cotton presses in New Or? leans are crammed to repletion, aud the stock on hand is valued at ?80,000,000. The true Mount Sinai in Arabia is re? ported to have been discovered by Dr. Baker, the English traveler, who states I that he foand there the remains of auimals that had been sacrificed as woll as Sinaitic inscriptions. It i3 5,000 feet above the level of tho sea?a proper alti? tude for tho emanation of the "higher I iw." A newly married lady, "just for fun." bid a toy snake in her husband's boot, i* few days ago. Tho result of tho joko was somewhat peculiar. The husband, on discovering tho mock reptile, first i took a critical look at himself iu a mir? ror, and then going tu a closet, seized bis demijohu and threw it fur out into a neighboring pond. Luualilo, King of the Sandwich Islands, after n popular "reign of only a littlu in ore than u year, died ou tho 31 iust. David K ilakna, tho most power? ful chtef in tho nation, and the Dow? ager Queen, Emma, are both named for the succession, und a lively contest is anticipated.

An uukuowu American brutally mur? dered a woman named Molly Howard, in Trinidad, Colorado, n few weeks ago. He was seized by a number of armed men, nud carried to a largo cotton wood tree, where several women fastened a rope anmnd his neck and bung him. The New York World warns tho almond-eyed Chinese to import now all the deities they need, lest native indus? try should demand protection, aud some cunning Congressman should insert in the rovisod tariff: "Gods, crude nud rn fiued, 10U per cent, ud vtdorem." Congress, not long since, passed a vote of thanks to the crew of the At? lantic for saving tho officers and crow of the Scotland in mid-ocean. With that vote of thanks as a moans of subsistence, we can't neo why tho.sj sailors don't re? tire from business. Aimer Iluutly, of Cuba, N. 1'., aged 107 years, recently sat on a horso to get photographed. Poets sometimes per? sonify death ns "a palid horseman," and Aimer must have looked something like that. Tho omen cauuot harm the old man's health very much, however. A young mau iu California has his mother, grand-mother and great-grand? mother living iu tho houso with him. But he will probably never fully realize what true happiness is until ho has his mother-in-law there, too. That rarest of all thiugs, a converted Jewish Rabbi, is nt present to be seen in Greenville.

Tho Irishman who was accused of im? bibing too many juleps, declared that ho mint well. Julia says it is a little hard not to go out for forty days, but sho dou't object to forty (k) nights. "High, Low and tho Wisconsin Bishopric," Is the beading of u leading article in the Chicago Journal. The Cubans huve nearly abandoned tho raising of cane aud taken to the raising of Cain. The New York correspondent of a| Chicago paper says, "for some inexpli-j cable reason thero are people who per? sist in finding fault with everything that, is done by President Grant or hisd friends." The reason is not at all inex? plicable. Tho fault is so palpable that people couldn't help finding it if tbey would. A Chicago man recently received n letter from his wife, who is iu Germany, saying that she had given birth to a daughter. He was so pleased at the nows that be gave orders to a baker to distributo COO loaves of bread to tbeP poor each day for ten days. "There is nothing," says a Boston journal, "which will kill a man SO quick,, as whiskey." Then, whiskey must be[u even more deadly than nicotine, of' which it is Raid by a Western paper that a single drop on a dog's nose will kill a man iu three minutes." Au exchange says "some one has Bent Matt. Carpenter a copy of- 'The Woman in White' " Matt, is always glad to have a woman Rent him, aud doesn't I j oiro whether sbo be sent iu white cr' black.
