" Secretary Seward has gone to Auburn, and will be absent about a week. The President has approved an act relating to habeas corpus. ' ""' Gens. Almonte and Ilerron had sailed from St. Thomas to Europe. Trinidad, It is said, languishes in all its Interests under its present system of government. CoL'iaquess was acquitted at 3oiiisvllIe yesterday. The jury did not leave their seats. Jt is said the Senate, like the House,wil present a solid column on the' reconstruction plan us it passed the House. The Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday gives what purports to be th$'text of the Indictment against Jeff. Davis. The Ijicttctnient against Jeff. Davis is the same In substance as that found against liim last year. J The idea of annexation to the United States is said to be extending in all the West India Islands. The Mexican Legation at Washington profess to regard Santa Anne as a French SPY. " " i ' 'Officers of National Banks are asking for Congressional legislation to protect them from local taxes. Poor creatures, they onght to have protection. .Advices from Rio Janeiro say that the Brazilian fleet has reached Presbocas, on the Paraguay, and was in a line extending to Paso de La Patria, on the Parana. Our telegraphic dispatches contain a long list of the names of officers who are designated to be mustered out of service Immediately. The Secretary of the Navy has just ap pointed a large number of distinguished officers as a Board of Visitors to the navy schools. The names will be found among our dispatches. Secretary McCulloch has sent to the Sen ate Finance Committee the draft of a new bill for funding the National debt into live per cent, consolidated loan. The Secretary has decided to recall all outstanding certificates of indebtedness, and to issue no more in future. The steamer Dorothea,'.captnred by the Peruvian monitor Hurrican, having been refused to enter the port of Rio Janeiro, was burned at sea. A dinner on board the American steamer South America, to the distinguished gentlemen in the city, was given, at which great cordiality and sympathy towards the United States prevailed.The Timet correspondent has it from high authority that Jeff. Davis will be tried in Richmond, in June, upon the indictment recently found by the grand Jnry at Norfolk, providing. Chief Justice Chase wil1 consent to preside in the Circuit Court there to be convened. The Attorney General has not received a copy of the indictment, as has been reported by some of the papers. Chief-Justice Chase, it is said, has signified bi& willingness tq preside over a court in Virginia, provided the President will Issue a proclamation abrogating martial law in the State, so far as the United States are concerned. The Chief-Justice had an interview with the President on the subject, and it is probable the matter will be arranged. The House Committee is preparing a report favoring his trial by a military commission, for various violations of the Articles of War, and complicity In the assassination of President Lincoln. A New York paper of yesterday publishes the addrtes of Gen. T. C. De Mosques, the new President of the United States of Columbia, to the people of the Republic, in which he strongly denounces the last insurrectionary movements and gives assurances of protection to every citizen in the enjoyment of his rights. President De Mosque has Just returned from Europe, and before leaving, he concluded a treaty of friendship and commerce with England, and also one relative to postal affairs. He also came to an agreement with the Papal Government relative to the administration or ecclesiastical affairs, which has long Teen a subject of dispute between the political and ecclesiastical authorities; : ' ' ' Unjust Revenue. ' t Heretofore all goods shipped to tie port of New Orleans has paid to the State ' of Louisiana 1 4er cent, on gross Bales. Our friends, S. Jl. Kennedy & Co.,' made every effort to get the law repealed, but did not succeed, and have now determined to test- the case as will be eeeo by the following, from one of the Orleans papers: ,Tjbe tax on, gross, sales, ,and receipts, whicii taVe been regasded iwltfi.,sic& dipfavor by our whole mercantile community, is to come before the courts on a question involving the constitutionality of the act under which itis imposed. Details of the case are elsewhere given. It appears that the house of S. H. Kennedy ft Co. has boldly stepped into the breach, by refusing t$ paid Ibs Jai and a test suit has been instituted' in' the premises by the attorney General. For;the defence, the services of those eminent lawyers, Christian Roselieus, H. N. Spofford and Judge Campbell, have been secured. The public generally have a deep interest in the issue of the suit

Disfranchisement.

We commend the following td the attention of those who have a great admiration of, and a strong faith in the superior intelligence and mag nanimityof; Southera statesmen, and who are now pricked to the heart by the proposition to disfranchise rebels and traitors iota few years. Not. a Democratic paper rat the North ever denounced the monstrous proposition of the Convention of Vir ginia, which banished men from the State, and declared them alien en emies, simply because they' should choose to adhere to the bid Government; and if any citizen of Virginia should undertake hereafter to represent that State in the Congress of the united states, he should not only be banisheI and declared an alien enemy, but should be considered guilty of treason and his property liable to confiscation. John Minor Botts gently reminds the reconstructed that if they should remain disfranchised for a season they would only drink the chalice pre pared by, them for the lips of, others, They howl vigorously for a large measure of sympathy now'. How did they actjwhep, they had sthe .power? Mr." Botts 'answers : 4 In the month of July, 1801, the Convention of Virginia passed an ordinance declaring "That any citizen of Virginia holding office tinder the Government of the United States after the 31st of July, 1801, should, b? forever banished from the State, and" be declared an alien enemy f Rhd that any citizen of Virginia hereafter undertaking to represent the State of Virginia in the Congress of the United States, should, in addition to the above penalties, be considered guilty of treason, and his property be liable to confiscation." Yet those who voted for, and those who approved this measure of vindictive harshness toward those who refused to surrender their birthright as citizens of the freest and best government on earth, or to make a voluntary relinquishment of their great inheritance of freedom, are now the most clamorous to represent the people in this same Congress of the United States, and set up an universal howl of indignation, and implore the wrath of God and man on the heads of thoge who propose to give them a small dose of their own medicine. We find an article in the Louisville Democrat, criticising severely Mr. Bancroft for his tart allusions to England and France, in his great oration on theLife, Services and Death of President Lincoln. The criticism is called forth by the recent correspondenceof Earl Russell with Mr. Adams, and Mr. Bancroft's letter sustaining the allegations in his oration. flu its contemptible hatred of everything ; that does not . square with its political views and .feelings; the Democrat is guilty of printing the following', silly rjaragraplu '"If, "however, Mr Russell had known just how little influence, Mr. Bancroft has in this country, he might have saved his time. He has written a dull, Interminable history of this country that we suppose no one ever reads, , He norates ' on occasions, but he is always consistently stupid, wieh Just rhetoric enough to avoid originality. He Influences no one, not even the little mutual admiration society in the East he belongs to. Such a person had as well be left to 4 norate ' unnoticed." The editor of the Louisville Democrat pronouncing the eloquent historian-dull, , and with JlittleYinfluenee! He affirms also that Bancroft's History of trie United States is little read! It is not studied as it ought to be, yet no one but a dolt would affirm that it is either dull or stupid. ; . ' . , : ! n We remember, that a few years ago Bancroft was the idol of the Democratic party, and its members were proud to speak of the great historian Bancroft, and the great poet- Bryant, as belonging to their organiza- i tion. The fact that these men were with the organization, was used as an argument in favor of its purity and fidelity to the principles of the fathers of the Republic. But since they have abandoned the corrupt organization for the. Republican party, the discovery is made that they are without influence, and that Bancroft, especially, writes dull history, and is always, consistently, stupid! "Circumstances evidently alter cases.": ' . '; ..Heavy BrsixEss.-Tue Copperhead papers are occupied principally with long and heart-rending accounts of how a negro occupied a reserved seat at some performance in a Southern theatre, or rode in a railway car, like white folks. The objection seems to be not so much to the association for the Southern nabobs always took their niggers along as a sort of exemplifier of eentility. V hat gravels them now is, that the scoundrels actually have money, and uav for these things, and so have a rinht to them. And if these things are to be and overcome us like a summer cloud, wit hout ournpecial wonder, what is to become of the boasted superiority of a Democrat over a nigger? Columbus (O.)

Evansville has got the "street railroad" fever. After having failed in all their metropolitan enterprises operahouses, water-works and hotels, they fall back on street railroads. Give 'em fits on the railroad, Silverthorn ; that's what you need, and it will encourage the hotel and water-works enterprises. But before yon adopt any plans for them, you had better send up a delegation to see Madison hotels

and water-works. Madison Courier. The Courier is slightually mistaken The people of Evansviile have not failed in all their metropolitan enter prises. The Courier gets that idea from its ill-natured namesake of this city, though we supposed the'Madison Courier knew its character too well to be misled by it. The opera-house is a fixed fact. The' construction of water works is only a question of time. The street railroads will be built, and the hotel will follow as a matter of course It is the misfortune of almost every eity'to have inhabitants who are mere fossils, whoi having acquired unim proved property when , cheap, have managed'to holdlon to it until it has become valuable, and have not the public spirit to either improve it them selves, or sell at a reasonable price to those who would improve it. We have but few of this class, it is true yet they have been effectual clogs to the progressive spirit of many pthers Our citizens, by a careful survey of the premises, can easily ;discern who they are, and to what party they be long. ' .:: - r.--i- .) ;... -jit Thad. Stephens don't like some of Sumner's ways He says sowith his usual bluntness and indifference to feelings.' la a i little speech in the House, the other day, he referred to the fact that the House passed a con stitutional amendment for equalizing representation, a an early period of the present session, and remarked that it had been "slaughtered in the Senate by a peurile and pedantic criticism" that " its death was produced bv self-righteous Republicans and un righteous Copperheads, who had post poned, perhaps for ages, the salvation ot the colored race. Isumner must have been meant, sa being guilty of peurile and pedantic criticism." He is about the only selt-righteous Republican that we know of, to whom the term could be correctly applied If Mr. Stevens could discover his own follies as readily as he does Mr. Sujiner's, we might hope to see the differences between the Presidbnt and Congress assume a: more harmonious appearance. But Stevens's arrogance and positiveness and unwillingness to concede either brains ot.patriotism to those who differ from hirhftri questions growing out of the great reconstruction problem, has, in several instances, done great damage to the Union party, and actually endangered the peace of the country.. With the unreasoning impatience of f second .childhood, he iorces issues upon us that might be avoided with advantage to , the .party and safety to the country. Col. .Jacquess AearJttedAnnther Kcuei ana democratic Defeat. 41 A dispatch was received in this city yesterday,) announcing the friumphani acquittal of Col. Jacquess, at Louis ville, of the charfffi of pnmnlinitv in in abortion and murder. This will be' glad tidinjrsto the friends of justice and religion every where, and especially to the thousands of friends of Col. Jacquess throughout Indiana and Illinois, - , We never for a moment entertained a doubt of Col. JACQUESs' "ehtire" innocence. We had known him for several years, and knew i him as an up right, honest man, and a devoted, earnest and successful minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, against whom the breath of slander never dared to whisper an evil word. That the entire Democratic press of the North, as well as the rebel press at the South, should 'gloat over and rejoice T at the supposed fall of this christian minister and patriot, was but natural. T.They desired its truth to be established, that they might use .it for political capital, and all will remember how they have rung the charges on it, and what malevolence they haye'manifested. The last shape in which they heaped up their lies was in the statement that went the rounds, of the Democratic papers, to the effect that he had failed to appear for trial at the time fixedi and had forfeited 'his bonds, and this they declared was proof positive and incontrovertible of. his gailt. Thi3 report, like the wicked charge preferred against him, was false;' and we have nq doubt but the papers giving currency tq the base lie knew it was ' false ; but these advocates of treason could not forgive Jacquess because he had manifested his love for his country by taking up arms against treason, and hence pursued

him with the hatred and malevolence of demons. But he has been tried and triumphantly acquitted, and that, too, by a

Kentucky jury, and in the city of Louisville ; and, to strengthen the case, the dispatch says the jury did not even leave their box. , Good Advice. The Chicago Journal, in an article on the best mode of escaping the cholera, winds up with the following rules : ' i. Never speak or think of it. Banish it from your home circle as a topic of conversation. '," , . ' i Be cheerful. ; in. Be temperate. " ; ' ' ' IV. Be cleanly. " v. Beware of whisky and the Democratic party.,;'- -Y- J ' .' ! The closing paragraph of the advice is good. No mortal could live through an attack of the cholera if at the same time he was afflicted with Copperhead Democracy in anything like a virulent form, i Either of the afflictions is sufficiently terrible; both at once could hardly fail to snap " the silver cord." It is, thought; by. many that some idea of the length of the present session of Congress may ; be obtained from the fact that Speaker; Colfax, who was to deliver the Eourth of July orationat Valparaiso, Indiana, has reT called his acceptance, which was condi tioned on an adjournment sufficiently eariy loename mm to prepare his ad dress. Congress and , the President seem to be so enamored with each other that they are unwilling to separate for the . short space of three or four months. ' ,T '. -Y SADDLERY.
