THE EAGLE? OFFICIAL TAPIR OF THE COCSTT. DECITIR, IVDIAYt FRIDAY, NOV. 8, IS6T. THE MEWS? The public debt was reduced 84,000,000, currency, last month. The receipts of internal revenue to Nov. Ist, for the fiscal year, is 867,789,00. Fifteen thousand persons were naturalized last month in New York city. Alabama has elected fourteen colored delegates to help re-con-struet the State. Two prominet citizens of Richmond Va., for opposing the Radical ticket, were arrested by a negro vigilance committee and ordered to leave the city in forty hours. The Times says the impeachment question, to use a river phrase is on a stand. The Tribune special says that

a Southern editor reports that Grant has expressed himself in conversation that he would not accept the nomination for the presidency from the Radical party, but will accept it as the representative of conservative men. A terific and destructive tornado occurred on the Rio Grande lately. Twenty-six persons were Killed at Matamoras and ten killed and one wounded at Brownsville. At Brazos twelve persons were killed. At Clarksville but two houses were left standing, and at Bagdad none. At Matamoras 1,600 houses and huts were blown down. The President by proclamation recommends that the 28th, day of November be observed as a national day of thanks giving and prayer. Ex-Governor Andrews, of Massachusetts died in Boston, ofappoplcxy, Oct. 30. Telegraphic dispatches per cable from London, Oct. 25, say that Garibaldi was marching on Rome, his command divided into two columns. The column under his immediate command had arrived at Monte Ratondo, in sight of the city, the Papal Troops slowly retireiag, contesting the ground as they retreat. The soldiers of Victor Emanuel have refused to fight against Garibaldi. It is supposed die next move of Victor Emanuel will be the formation of a new ministry whose policy will be'devoted to making Rome the capitol of Italy. A French fleet of iron-clads left Toulon on the 26th, ult. destined for service in the defence of the Holy Sep. Dispatches from Florence of the

Ist, inst giving the situation of affairs in Rome say the French Troops which debarked at Civita Vieitla a few days since, had arrived at the Holy City. There were no demonstration whatever. The city is perfectly quiet and the French were received with profound silence. Garibaldi, whose force is constantly increasing, still holds his position on the outskirts of Rome. The papal forces were to move out their entrenchments and attack on that day. Another dispatch says Garibaldi has retired to Monte Ratondo. A despatch from Washingthon to the Ncw York Express states “that Secretary Seward has sent the Rev. Mr. Hawley, of Auburn, to Rome on a secret mission, the object of which is to offer the Pope an assylum m this country. Hopes are entertained that the mission may be successful.” Garibaldi’s army is being reinforced by deserters from the Royal army of Italy. His force is now variously estimated from 5,000 to 10.000. Gov Baker has issued his proclamation designating Thursday Nov 28th, as a day of Thanksgiv ing. Near Sherman, Texas, recently, Mrs. Beatty, widow lady, met her death in a most singular manner.— She was in the act of getting on a horse, when a common sewing needle, which stuck in her dress caught, in the saddle and was driven in her body near her breast, slightly piercing her heart. She lived oalv about half an hour.

■lection Mews. The news of the late elections I this week is highly gratifying. New York city and Brooklyn 1 are reported as going 73,000 Demi ocratic majority. The State at large Democratic by 30,000 —Legislature Democratic. Boston, carried by the Democrats by 1,600 majority, Illinois went Radical, with greatly reduced majority. Wisconsin, large Democratic gains, Minnisota ditto. Cabinet Meeting—Etc. Washington, November 1. A full meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day, lasting nearly three hours. The reports of the heads of departments was the chief subjects under discussion. It is understood that the President's message was talked of. General Grant has issued an order granting a week’s leave of absence to all clerks connected with the War Department who want to go home to vote, The National Democrat Executive Committee have issued an ad dress, which appeals to the reason and judgement, and says he who refuses to heed the call is unworthy of a share in the rich heritage of American freemen. It is signed by T. B, Florence, S. J. Randall, C. Mason, of Ohio, and others. An order has been issued by the War Department saying the practice which prevails of giving soldiers whose term of service is nearly out furloughs for the remainder of the term, is found to be attended with serious detriment to the interests of the soldier, who often are deprived of arrears of pay for want of proper certificate of discharge. The practice will cease. Forty-nine clerks were discharged to-day from the Paymaster’s Department, to take effect trom Fovember the 13, and up to that time are allowed leave of absence. There is also a reduction to be made of the number of clerks in the Quartermaster General’s office and the Treasury Department. General Grants Political Opinion. The New York Herald says that apart from his official opinions and instructions, we have had nothing from General Grant defining his position on Southern re-construction, excepting the private conversations to which we have referred, and these leave the question still unsettled. We believe, however, that if General Grant had any faith in the radicals and their programme as a Presidential* platform, he would have expreseed himself before this in away which would have removed all doubts on the subject. As he has not done so, we think the conclusion perfectly safe that his views arejhose, not of the radicals but of the conservative Republicans, and {hat he will fight it out on this line against Mr. Chase and his radical supporters, push them out of their defences, and wind them up as he did the rebellion under the famous apple tree of Appomattox Court House.—Znt<. Herald. Political. New York, October 31.—The Time's Washington special learns from a trusty source that the President and Secretary of the Treasury will not commnicate with Congress until the December session. ’ A large number of Southern politicians are to meet in Washington abou? the 15th of November to make a combined effort to obtain concessions from Congress for the relief of the South. Twelve radical Congressmen— Schenck, Mungen, Clarke, Buckland, Wilson, Plants, and Bingham, of Ohio, and Myers, Taylor and Covode, of Pennsylvaniaelected in 1866 have now Democratic majorities against them in their districts of from three hundred to one thousand. Beyond doubt, it must be as these gentlemen say, that they represent “ideas” since they certainly do not represent men. The New York Demokrat estimates that 7,500 Germans have been naturalized who will vote the Democrat ticket, while the radicals haye secured but 500. The Demokrat is republican in politics. The Journal, Democratic, says that even many of those naturalized under the auspices of the Republican committee will not vote that ticket. The German opposition to the radical party-is very strong. There will be no conversation of the South to New England ideas so long as New England bayonets hold the white men of the South subject to their late slaves. Establish equal rights there, and here, too, without regard to color and then we may hope to win respect for our ideas, for we shall show that we are honest in them and respect them ourselves.-— i Springfield Republican.

Indian Matters. ST. LOUIS, October 31. Omaha dispatches say that a messenger has arrived from Fort Laramie with thirty Sioux warriors, who favor peace. The head men promies [sic] to be at Fort Laramie on November 10. The chief, White Cloud, has sent word to Governor Hunt, of Colorado, that it is no use for the Government to send any more ignorant men to negotiate with him, but Governor Hunt or somebody else who understands the Indian question. Any such man he will treat well, and upon liberal terms relinquish all claims to the plains and remove to the extreme North. Governor Hunt will go to Fort Laramie by way of white [sic] Cloud’s camp and endeavor to make terms with him. A fleet of seven Mackinard [sic] boats arrived at Omaha from Fort Benton on Monday. The Indians attacked the boats below the Yellow Stone river, and killed one man. The Indians obstructed the track of the Union Pacific Railorad [sic], between Antelope and Pine Bluff stations, a few days ago, with a view to throwing the train off, but some workmen discovered and removed the obstruction before any damage was done.

October 31. Dispatches from Medicine Lodge Creek say a treaty has been made with the Apaches, by which they confederate with the Kiowas and Camanches, and go on the same reservation. They are to receive five thousand dollars per annum, clothing, etc. The Arapahoes will make a separate treaty, and together with the Apaches, dissolve their former connection with the Cheyennes, on account of the hostile attitude of the latter to the whites. All the tribes here except the Cheyennes, held a council on the 26th, and agreed to renew friendly relations with each other, and return stolen horses. The Cheyennes have not arrived yet, and some suspect bad motives on their part, while others think all will come out right. They claim they have not finished their medicine ceremonies yet, and ask two days longer time. The commissioners have already waited thirteen days on this tribe, and have got tired. They will remain till Monday, the 28th, when they will leave, if the Cheyennes are not here. November 1. The <Republican's> correspoendent with the Indian commission telegraphs that the treaty made with the Cheyennes also included one with the Arrapahoes. Their reservation will be south of Kansas. Aside from certain clothing, these tribes are to receive thirty thousand dollars, annually. They withdraw all opposition to railroads and agree to keep the peace. A denial of the privilege to hunt between the Smoky Hill and Platte rivers would have caused a continuation of a war. The Kansas people are not satisfied with the treaty and consider it a hollow truce. The commissioners will start at once for the North Platte and Fort Laramie by way of St. Louis and Chicago. ---<>---

jtgTMra. Lincoln’s brothers, as is known, were in the confederate., army. The youngest of them started in April, IS6I, from New Orleans, as a privete in the Ches seurs a Pied, and being discharged for sickness at Richmond, in October of the same year, returned to his home; but though still suffering in health, he left a wife and two babies to join the Crescent Regiment, in responce to Beauregard’s call, and fell at Shilo. Another, Captain Dave Todd, started with Colonel Tom. Taylor, of the First Kentucky Volunteers, and was also killed toward the end of the war. And third, Dr. Todd, served throughout as a distinguished surgeon. Since General Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, has come out for negro suffrage, with “a slight educational and property qualification for all classes,” he is highly bepraised by the radicals, as a statesman of intelligence and patriotic impulses. Before and during the war he was one of the best, or worst, abused men in the country, and that by the same partiesMen change with circumstances, however, and radicals are but men. Ten Broeck, the American turfman in England, has sold out and coming to this country. Although for several years his success was great, of late he has been unlucky, and we infer he has come out poor. The English papers bear .testimony that he has ever acted the “perfect gentleman,” and express the hope that he will redeem the half promise to return again. Boudro, the Delmonico of New Orleans, is dead. It was of Boudro that Thackeray said he was surpassed by no transatlantic cook. His speciality was the preparation of fish for the table, and his little cottage on Lake Pointchartain was the resort of New Orleans fashion.

The Boston Post says the fact stands out a distinct and definite fact, that the North while not yet a unit on the question of negro suffrage—which no party in Congress has anything to do with—is nevertheless an unconquerable majority against the scheme of converting ten States in the Union into black republics, and establishing a negro tyranny over an entire population. If the radical leaders £O on and ignore that fact, they will be beaten in the next presidential election high and dry. If they pause where they are, and draw in on their fanatical reconstruction scheme, then they abandon their professions of principle divide their party hopelessly, fail of the electoral votes they counted on at the South, and are defeated in both sections of the country.— Either way suits us, so the result be surely reached.-— lnd. Her. aZdThe Times Washington, special says: Hon. James S. Wilson, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has arrived, and authorizes a contradicton of the report that he had changed his opinion on the impeachment question.— He is opposed to it. Senator Drake, of Missouri, has also arrived. He is in favor of impeachment. The Daily Evening Democrat, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, flies at its mast head the name of George B. McClellan for President, and George H. Pendleton for Vice President. The counties of Polk, Newton and Searcy, Arkansas, have but one registered negro voter each. The white majority in the State is 12,930. ~ .I.—l * o I. The Emperor of Austria has bestowed the hereditary title of “Princees of the Empire,” on the wife of Miramon. George W. Julian is still con-, vassing his new district for the. nomination to Congress’.
