HAVANA.

Raws from Max If C**gi aaa. Havana, January 5. A steamer from Vera Crux brings the

following news:

The Mexican Con gram by a large majority, has approved tbe convention of tbe 4tn of July, made with the United Statee for a settlement of the claims of the cltisens of both countries. Congress in a secret session haa also approved of the treaty with tbe United States, recognising the American doctrine of the

rights of naturalised citizens.

The police authorities of the City of Mexico hare ironed orders restricting the performance of religious ceremonies, whteh ban caused some of tho chqrche* to

dune tlicti doors.

Tbe polios regulation had also been made prohibiting the sale of llqnors after

six r. k.

(Several jonrnals object to these orders on tbe ground that they attack personal liberty, the free exercise of religion and the right of commerce. Reportar* of JLersaadi for Bpaia—Tk* laaagaral Preelaasatloa of Dale* looked for Aaxloaslx—Both Parties ia Doaht aa to Mia Polley—Another Bat-

Havana, Jannary 5.—Captain General Lersundt and AdmiralChoon sailed to-day for Spain. Lersundi, previous to bis embarkation, paid a visit to Admiral Hoff on board the flog ship Cantooook. He woe received with the usual ceremonies. This ia the first instance known here of a Captain-General going on board a foreign man-of-war. The inaugural proclamation of Captain General Dolce te swaited with much anxiety by the Spaniards and Cubans, both parties being in tbe dark in regard to hia future poltey. The Caban express the opinion that the revolutionists at Bayamo will refuse to liaten to any proposition for a compromise. and? the Spaniards are convinced that the troops now on the teland will be reinforced by those now on their v. i. thither from Spain, and that they wui pat a speedy end to the revolution.

SPEAKER COLffAX ARM REX. GRANT A Brief Chapter of Unwritten Historj. r ■ “— Washington, D. C\, Dec. 26, 1868. To the Editor of the Louisville Democrat: _ A. few evenings since, the writer had tbe pleasure of meeting a distinguished gentleman from Virginia, whom he had known for a number of yeara as a representative in Congress from that (Rate, and. subsequently os Governor. Ip the coarse of conversation he related the substance of on interview he bed, in company with a friend, with Speaker Ootfax a abort time before tbe meeting of the Chicago convention. Hia object, he aaid, in Visiting the Speaker, waa to aaeertate, as near aa he could, the precise attitude of tbe Republican, or Radical party (of which he regarded Mr. Colfax a true representative man) toward the Southern people and Statee. In the oouroe of the Interview he reminded the Speaker that for three year* hia party in Congress hod been engaged in unsuccessful attempts to bring about that sort of harmony and good understanding between the two section* that he and all agreed was not only mbst desirable, but absolutely indispensable, in order that peace and* prosperity might once more pervade and blee* our whole country. Referring to the anxiety felt by men of all parties to have anch a condition of things restored ae all efforts had so far failed to produce. Governor L. suggested that, in view of such failure, he would suggest that each section shoald select a representative man, such an one aa would fairly represent hie section, and let them meet and agree upon terms of settlement to be submitted to tbe people of each section for adoption or rejection. The Speaker, before intimating either assent or disagreement to each a proposition, inquired who Governor I*, would suggest os the representative man of the sections. “Well,” said Governor L., “we would take General Robert E. Lee, and the North would select General Tyrant. These are not only representative men, but they possess such influence with their people that the agreement they might come to no doubt would be accepted by both sections.” “Oh,” said Mr. Oolfax, “I could not consent to that, because General Lee is s rebel and General Grant ia no ■ talesman.” Wonder if he thinks now that General Grant is no statesman 7

On motion of Mr. Washburns, of Illinois, the Secretary of the Treasury was directed to inform the House whether any conaular officer* of tbe United States have demanded and received for verification of Invoices fees greater than those prescribed by law. Tbe House then reaelved itself into a Committee of tbo Whole on tbe state of the Union, on the President’s message of 1867.

New Tack Legislature An Orgaalsalism effected—Wsveraar Hoffasamfa Massage—air. Albant, January A. The Legislature met to-day. Truman G. Young, Republican, was chosen Speaker of the Assembly, receiving 70 votes against 62 for Wm. Hitcbinan, Democrat. Underbill, Republican, waa elected

Clerk.

The organization was completed by the

election of subordinate officers.

Governor Hoffman, in his message to the Legislatnre, says the revenues from the Erie and other canals, daring the past year, have paid the belauce of the canal debt of 1846, satisfied all other requirements, and paid into the State treasury

over #100,000.

He says tbe exciso laws confers arbi-

trary powers and violates principles involving the rights of individuals and communities, and recommends Us repeal.

He recommends the registry law for

the whole State, which should aim to secure to every citizen bis right of suffrage free from intimidation, corruption or exactions. The corrupt use of money in elections should be punished severely, and every guarantee established by which

illegal voting may be prevented. lie thinks there is a manifest disposi-

tion on ths part of Congress to control and regulate suffrage in all tho States, which he deprecates as a step in ths direction of centralized power in the general Government unwarranted by tbe

Constitation.

The movement to remove the powers of naturalisation from the United States Court, he opposes, as it would devolve more upon usrtizans than at present, and he contends that the present alleged ’abnaes can be remedied under existing jurisdiction. He doss not consider the policy wise, that while conferring suffrage upon the masses of the people at the South, u places obstacles in the way of

extending it at tbe North.

In referring to national matters, he calls attention to the little that has been accomplished during the past four years to restore the people of the South to their ilaoe, and charges Congress with having

The insurgents acknowledge the loss of sixteen men killed and thirty-six wounded. This news comes solely from rebel sources, and is flatly contradicted by the official dispatches received by the Government. General Duice to-day gave orders that the moat ample latitude be allowed by the Government censorship for tbe publication and forwarding of telegraph news. Other important eonceesiona, enlarging the liberty of the press, are expected. It ia reported that the Liberal journal, El Fait, which suspended a short time sgo, will resame publication in a few

From the London Quarterly Review. Th* Girl* at th* Pre*«at. It is terribly aignlfioant of the present state of things when men are free to write as they do of the women of their own nation. Every word ot censure flung against them is two-edged, and wound* these who condemn as much aa thoee who are condemned; for surely it need hardly be said thgt men hold nothing so dear as the honor of their women, aqq that no one living would willingly lower the repute of bis mother or aistera. It ia only when these have placed themselves beyond the pale of masculine respect that such things are written; when they become again what they were onoe, they will gather around them the love homage and chivalrous devotion whioh were then an English woman’s natural inheritance. The marvel in the present fashion of Ufa among women te how it holds its ground in spite of the disapprobation of men. It used to be an old-time notion that the sexes were made for each other, and to set themselves out for that end. But tbe girl of this period does not please men. She pleaees them aa little as she elevatea them, and how little ahe does that, the claaa of women she baa taken as her models, of Itself, testifies.
