YESTERDAY NOON'S DISPATCHES. Plan for the Adjustment of the V:nlfrlnlflaa lwtffPPn IMP UlUUIUtlllO w'w - North and South. i . o a? - SUFFRAGE AND AMNESTY THE BASIS. , Arrival of Frencii Transports NEW YORK. Foreign Sews Plan Tor the Adjust ment of the Difficulties between the North and South Suffrage and Amnesty the Basis. New York, Jan. 24. The Herald's Beriin correspondent gives the outline of a plan just proposed in Germany, for the partition of the Turkish Empire, and the obliteration of the Porte Government, which if carried out simultaneously, and in the interests of the Christian subjects of the Sultan, and by Russia and Austria, would be likely to effect the object without bloodshed. Russia takes to herself the credit of being the only sincere friend of the oppressed people of the Turkish provinces, and the entire subject was canvassed with serious attention, both by the statesmen and people of that Empire. Russia watches the progress of the Austrian agitation in Poland with much anxiety, and is likely to anticipate the Harpsburg movement by a bold counter stroke. The weekly returns of immigration shows that 1,452 immigrants landed here last week, making a total since January 1st of 14,900. The World 's Washington special says the I Senate Judiciary Committee agreed to-day to report in favor of the constitutional amendment prohibiting the same person from holding more than one r term of ! the Presidential office. l-';.'l ' ;'-' :' '' , The Timers special says that since last November leading politicians in the North and in the South Republicans, ,; Democrats, and ex-rebels alike have been at work on a plan whereby ! the differences between the North and - South, between the executive and legislative branches "of the Government, would be 1 satisfactorily adjusted. Suffrage and' amnesty ' form the basis of the proposition. For instance: if South Carolina will adopt the Massachusetts suffrage franchise, the President is to issue a proclamation of amnesty to all who'J approve of it. ' The people of South Carolina, blacks as well as whitest can elect loyal Representatives to Congress, and Congress can determine on their admission. The Administration is seriously considering this proposition. The Tribune's Washington special says the Judiciary Committee have changed Senator Wade's amendment to the Constitution, making the President ineligible for a second term, and will report it so as to provide that no "President or Vice President shall be eligible for re-election to either of these offices. Ashley is busily engaged in accumulating evidence for his impeachment of the President. . - Anew draft on the Treasury has been organized in a scheme to construct a railroad through Texas and Mexico to the Pacific, with enormous grants of land and issue of Government bonds. Thereare in the District of Columbia.'Alexahdria and Fairfax County, Virginia, and five counties in Maryland, one hundred and twenty-six freedjmen'srdaj , and night schools, with 6,039 scholars. Maj. Gen. Thomas has arrived in Washington, to give an account of affair! I A his department Gen. 'Sheridan is expected soon. AA'engine with twenty employes on boardwas thrown from the track of the Long Island Railroad, near Vanieia0 yesterday. One Jas. McLaughlin was instantly killed, and another, the engineer, was horribly, and perhaps fatally mangled. The German immigrant society has just issued its annual report, from which it appears, that of the 233,717 emigrants arriving at this port during , the year, 186G, 82,894 were Germans, most of . whom left for the Western States. New York, Jan. 24. The steamer tagle, brings Ilavan ha dates of the 19th, stating that a financial panic has come over all the banks. But one has resumed payment. The Mexican news is unimportant. " , ST. LOUIS. Missouri Legislature Ashing a Repeal of the Act Appropriating Money to Pay fo? SlaYi's Enlisted in the U. S. Service. St Louis, Jan. 24. Both Houses of Missouri Representatives passed the -resolution urging Congress to repeal the act appropriating mmey to ay for slaves enlisted in tbe United tates service. Also instructing Senators and requesting Representatives in Congress to procure, if possible, passage of the act giving the Missouri militia the same bounty as other United States volunteers. Also appointing a special committee to investigate the sale of certain railroads in the State by the Governor. , . Julius Winklemeyer, a prominent

brewer and wealthy citizen, died yesterday. The Republican's St. Joseph special says: - The bill for preventing negroes or mulyttocs from sitting on juries in Colorado, W4.i vetoed by Gov. Cummings, but was passed over his veto by the Legislature. Gov. Cummings is en route i'oT'Washington. Gen. Palmer, Treasurer , of the Union and Pacific Railroad, received from the Government yesterday four hundred thousand dollars in bonds, the amount due on twenty-five miles of railroad and telegraph line west of Fort Riley, just occupied by the Commissioner. i . . ; :

NEW ORLEANS. Jfews from Vera Cruz ArriTal of French Transports Maximilian Issues Another Proclamation. New Orleans, Jan. 24. The steamship Victor arrived this morn ing from Vera Cruz, 19th instant. She brought the remains of ex-Gov. Allen, of this State. The French transports had arrived, and expected to depart in a few days with the French troops. A regiment of Egyptians had left on the French mail steamers some days before. , Maximilian has issued another proclamation, condemning in strong terms the conduct of Gen. Sedgwick in taking possession of Matamoras. Both - the French and Mexican flags wave over Fort Ann and the Custom House at Vera Cruz. The Liberals are camped within 12 miles of Vera Cruz. No hostilities have taken place up to the departure of the Victor. A train with $3,000,000 had arrived for either the French or the Mexicans. MISCELLANEOUS. Examination of Stillwell & Son on the Charge of Forgery Losses of the Hartford Insurance Co. Washington, Jan. 24. Boutwell's bill, which passed the House yester day, will cause a sharp debate in ; the Senate,; and though it may , pass, it will be -,difficult to get .a two-thirds vote after the President vetoes it, as he certainly will. ' ; , Hartford, Conn., Jan. 24. The iEtna and Phoenix Insurance Companies lose $75,000each . on the late Vicksburg fire, which will lessen the price of their stocks. .. Louisville, Jan. 24. Richard Stilwell, son of the late Judge Stilwell, of Zanesville, was examined today on a charge of forgery, and committed for want of bail in one thousand dollars. ... m Indianapolis, Jan. 24. A joint resolution ratifying the Amendment to the Constitution ; of the United States, passed the House of Representatives yesterday, having previously passed the Senate. COBKESPOyDEXCE. I.etter from JTew York. The Weather Business AmusementsImpeachment of the PresidentRailroad War. ' Metropolitan Hotel,) New York, Jan. 18, '07. j Editors Journal : Taking a trip East, this season of the year, a person expects to meet with a good deal of weather, at least I did, and I can assure you I am not disappointed. From Vincennes on the ground was completely covered with snow, increasing in quantity every mile until in New York State it has drifted clear over fences, and some places is ten feet deep, with a regular snow storm raging without cessation.;. So far, not much delay has occurred to passenger trains; ours was some three hours behin'd. The delay did not matter much to myself, but to a younger man traveling with me, it was a very serious matter. He was hastening home to attend the funeral of his mother, whom he had not seen for two years. She died suddenly. He was at St. Louis when he received the telegram of her serious illness, and before he could start away, another dispatch came announcing her death, and that she would be buried on Wednesday. He sent a despatch to delay the funeral, and he would be home Thursday. The delay ot three hours in making connections probably prevented him from getting there in time after all. I felt for him. The streets of the city are a foot deep in snow, falling in one night. Everything is gay and lively; sleigh bells gingling musically, and sleighs of every description, with horses ditto, go flitting by, filled apparently, with very happy folks. As far as business is concerned, everything is u almighty dull," as the Yankees say. Very few merchants in town, and those here buy very sparingly. The little rise in gold has made some" 'firmness in staple goods, and there is a perceptible stiffening in

most grades of goods. Money is becoming plentier here: good commercial paper can be discounted at 6 to 7 per cent. It is to be hoped that some of it will reach your place soon. It is needed, if what I hear is correct, that all surplus money with your monied men could be all used at 2 per cent a month. ,'T would pay to brrrow a lot and re-loan it at such fig

ures. Amusements suited to all seem very plentiful, and apparently they are well patronized. I dropped into Barnum's awhile. He certainly has the cheap est show for the 'money (only 30 cents) that cen be desired, besides enough curiosity of his own to keep a person busy for hours taking a cursory view only. He has added Van Amburgh's Menagerie complete to his show, com prising a splendid and varied, collec tion of wild and other animals, including a three-horned "he cow." Some people may like hunting tigers, lions, and elephants, but I assure you I couldn't see it myself. They didn't look very pleasant in their cages, and the way they look and act in their na tive wilds, if Cummins and others who have favored us with descriptions of their doings, be true, I concluded I would rather be excused from hunt ing them up thank you! Concerts and theatres are in full blast, and most seem to be "drawing" well so I hear. The press is noticing favorably something new just brought out in the way of a panorama and tableaux. founded on Bunyan's immortal work, "Pilgrim's Progress." Some of the views are reported exceedingly fine I can tell more about it to-morrow, as I intend, notwithstanding the snow, to go and see for myself to-night. The great excitement in political circles here is the impeachment of the President. The New York Herald of this morning, 17th inst., has a very remarkable article upon it, going for it heavy, and prophesying,, that it will be done ere many moons, shall come and go. . The article is so pithy and Bennett-like that you will hot do justice, to your readers unless you publish it -entire in your"- valuable paper. It will require a "Sentinel-on-the-Border " to. watch Bennett and do justice to the subject of his leader. Don't fail to copy it, if you can. ..There . seems to 'be a -general feeling here that, really, matters look serious, and. that 11 Androo Johnson" will be allowed to retire with the honors due him for his mean-spirited, double-summersaulting course. No body fears him he is perfectly harmless; nobody pities him he has gone too far for that. There is a big war between the Hudson Railroad, controlled by Van -derbilt, and the New York Central. After to-day the Hudson Railroad will not ' take any but tickets issued by them, nor baggage without their checks. Persons coming on via New York Central can only obtain tickets and cheek baggage to , Albany, New York. They will have to re-check and buy tickets at Albany for New York City. It will be very annoying and unpleasaut to the traveling public, and will result in giving a great deal of trouble and anxiety .to all traveling that route. It will end in people going some other way I hope, until matters can be arranged. I must conclude my random talk or else I will tire yours and my readers' patience. : Adoo,, ! Columbia. I SOCIAL EQUALITY. A Xegro TIcw of the Question. It will be remembered that when Frederick Douglass, the negro lecturer, fulfilled an engagement at Indianapolis, he insisted upon, the admission of negroes to all parts of the Hall, without distinction. For this he was severely criticised by the Indianapolis Journal (Republican), charging him with an attempt to compel negro equality. Douglass replies to the Journal in a letter, from which we make the following extract: " I object to your reflections upon my part in this matter on another ground. You represent me as demanding sncial equality for the negro. I must also ask is this quite fair? What is social equality? Does it consist of being in the same hall, and on the same floor, listening to the same lecture? Do you regard every man as Socially equal with you because you are on the same floor at church, luiiikef, hall or elsewhere? Do not character, wealth, and intelligence control the matter of social relations? When we meet in a public hall do not we meet as citizens, as the public, rich and poor, noble and ignoble, standing upon a common footing? And is not this well? But is it not qnito another thing to force me into atn'.ul!on with al I meet as equal citizens in street or hall? My parlor, and my table, and my hand are my

own, and I can choose my own friends and associates, and you have the same right; but when you go into a public hall you venture beyond your parlor limits, and your right ends where that of another man begins. I am obliged to your criticisms of my style, and hope to profit by them. Respectfully yours, '" Frederick Douglas." To which the Journal makes the following answer: As to what constitutes " social equality " we have no controversey with Mr. Douglass. We believe, as he does, that social connections can not be commanded by law,, or produced by political equality, and that the negro with every right of citizenshin is fust as far from social emialitv

with whites as he is without any of fthem. The mere fact of manhood and intelligence should be enough to secure the one, many other qualities are needed for the other. If a black possesses those qualities he will command social relations with men who can appreciate them, with or without Eolitical rights, and Mr. Douglass is imself an illustration. If a white man does not possess them, he can't command that equality if he had as many votes as an Allen County Copperhead. But we have never before understood that Mr. Douglass rested on this position. We have been under - the impression that he urged social equality, or an approach to it, not because of the fitness of his race for it, but in order to produce that fitness, to educate them by it to become worthy of it, which would be very likely domesticating a wild bear by turning it loose among tame dogs. The difficulty would be in commencing the improving association at all. We are unfeignedly glad to see that in this respect we have been misinformed, for Mr. Douglass has it in his power to do his race infinite service. They need all that he can do, all that we can all do. and he certainly will do them harm in stead of good by demands, however just, it arrogantly made, or in defi ance, rather than detection and re moval, of prejudices. That his de mand of the committee, in the light they view it, looked like an attempt to rorce a cerrain equality Between tne races, is very clear, and in that view we censured it, but we have no right to contradict his express assertion of his intentions by . any construction, however - natural, ot - hia ' actions confectioneries; Confectioneries H.
