The Board of Trade this day resolved that a meeting of the citizens of tills city be held at the Booms of the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday. January 0, at seven o’clock, p.m., for the purpose of consulting, and devising the best method for raising the necessary amount of money for building the railroad from Indianapolis to Yliicennes. J.

Voters*

The Nashville Union says the President and the Radicals have, during the recess of Congress, made a compromise by which they both agree to take the Amendment of the Constitution basing representation on voters a> the platform; and it says the South will accept it, if the Radicals will agree to pause at that point and let the South alone hereafter; and in this, it may be the South will, in the end come out well enough. Supposing that all the States will adhere to the present practice of limiting voters to adult white male inhabitants, the South sees that she may possibly stand well

enough.

The Republicans of the North propose to remove all obstructions to the migration of the Southern negroes to our section, while the South is laboring to get rid of them, and to supply their places with white laborers from the Northern States and from Europe. Cnder these circumstances; it is more than probable there will be an exodus of the negroes from the Southern States to other sections of the Union, aui largely to Indiana. The negro population will beeomc Oipialized among nil the States, or, perhaps, more largely diffused in the North. Then we shall he the sufferers, unless we extend MilVrage to the negroes. This, to us, is the we-i -t feature of the proposed amendment. It w ill h a>i to a race of suffrage extension among i lit- ‘-dates for the sake of increased representati •n, inking in. in the eoutest, women, minors, .uel indeed all living be’ngs in such State; a :: ummation thli^will not he fully reached be- ; r. tin' Republic will go down in anarchy. tbit,-upp ■dug, ns we said before, that the i •• nl limiling suffrage to adult white males , e.r,!;inued, then, with the dispersion of ' d.- u gr >es. the South will have the advantage, in a t' w >ear-, of the extreme Last and the < \tr. !ii-- West, while we of the center shall

It ean charter competing lines and bran-lies, and then tax and embarrass State roads till they are harried out mf existence. The Ehil.ol, Iplda I,t >.lycr says; l.’lf mtufOSKI* VIH-MXK HAII.KOAli. It i ; understood that a bill authorizing the coiwniiion of a railroad between New York and W a-hingtoii will bo introduced in the liou-e soon after the reassembling of Congress next month, its friends are well represented in the E hby, and its success conlidently predicted. The real object of the measure seems t ' be to tweak down the Camden and Amliov Company of New Jersey, the stock of whieii is mostly In Id in that stall 1 and in Pun-vl-vnnin; the Philadelphia, Baltiniore and YVilming'oji Rulroad <Company, the stock of which is held almost entirely at Boston, and the Wa-hington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the Stock of which is mostly lield in Bdtimore, Washington, and the adjacent county in Maryland. The private pecuniary interests in the several works named are seen to be widely seat!' red over the country, and will give to the proje t a strong opposition, to say nothing of the question of State rights involvin th' 1 issue. Any attempt to construct a line of railway competing for the business of the rcids n uned, on a route that will avoid the great cities on those roads, will be very apt to arouse additional opposition. Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, etc., would not w illingly consent to lie left out in the cold.” The SI00,01)0,000 Loan. It seems to be agreed that the Secretary of the Treasury is negotiating, in New York, a

loan of situ,<)0n,000.

We take it, then, that the receipts are not equaling the expenditures of the Government; but, if they do not do this now, when ran we expect they will? The army is mostlyedisbanded, the expenditures are reduced for general purposes about as low as they will be, and the income from present taxes is as high as we e.an reasonably expect it to reach, and is temporarily increased by the sale of the undestroyed property left from the war; whileon the other hand, claims now pouring in for adjustment and payment, have not yet begun actually to drain the treasury, as they must do, wc think, by.and-by. Perhaps, however, the borrowing is to pay debts. We extract from the Tribune-.

NATIONAL BANKS.

Two National Banks, with an aggregate capital of gl'>0.000, were established last week. There arc now 1,036 National Banks in operation. The total National Bank currency issued up to date, is §237,371,155, and for the week ending IVcemberSO, §3,611,020.

REDEEMED.

In the week ending December 30, interest notes and currency, amounting to §2,630,0tjn, and certificates of indebtedness to the amount iff $211,020, were redeemed by the Treasury

Department.

INTERNAL REVENUE. The receipts from internal revenue on Saturday were §830,440 30. The receipts from the same source lor six months, ending December 0», w ere §175,556,458 02. state Printing. Indiana Republican State Printers know 1 how t o make work and make it pay. Look at them. A year or two fills their coffers, and turns t hem out gentlemen of leisure, or European travelers. John D. Defrees, of Indiana, is, we believe, the present Public Printer, the Superintendent of Public Printing at Washington. He shows ids education. Wo quote from the Cincinnati Enquirer: The r.xouMors Expenses of the Republican ('onurkss.—As an example of the wasteful prodigality of the last Republican < ’ongioss, wc may state that it is admitted that the printing alone for it cost last year over two hundred millions uf dollars. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Republican says: “It threatens to exceed this sum this year. I learn that it will take two vears to print what Congress will order ibis session and what lias already been lered, if a stop is not put to the prodigality heretofore exhibited.” Joint Hrowti** Soul Marching. Pre -ident Johnson said Old John Brown was a thief, a robber, and a murderer. This he said, in speaking of his marauding in Kansas, and his raid on Western Virginia. Old John was hung for hi< crimes. The Republicans say John Brown’s soul is

marching on.

We think, in this, they are correct. The terrible prevalence of theft, robbery, violence and murder indicate most clearly that John Brown’s soul is about; yes, that Old John Brown's soul is marching on. There ean be little doubt of it. Specie Payments-National Banks. Now, National Banks, and all others, indeed, ean redeem their issues in legal tender notes. No specie is required by the banks because Congress huvingenaeted that paper isgold and silver, the banks can redeem \w that kind of gold and silver; it is. in fact, redeeming paper with paper. The people got one kind of paper for another, that is all. But, if Secretary MCCULLOUGH ran take up all the legal tenders with United States bonds, or legal tenders shall he decided unconstitutional, then the banks will have to use real gold and silver in redemption of their bills, and the people will see specie in circulation again. Negro Suffrage. The Ohio Republican Legislature will propose an amendment to the constitution of that State, extending suffrage to negroes.

Stevens* the Fenian. This gentleman is supposed to have escaped to Franco from his prison in Ireland, where he was incarcerated by the British Government. It is said he has been demanded by the British I authorities and that Napoleon refuses to sur-

i render linn.

The Question of Restoration—The President and Congress-Conflict of Principles—Report of an Interview

with the President.

In my last letter I made allusion to the fact that certain Westeen members of Congress i had had interviews with the ^President since i the passage of Mr. Wilson's resolution, during ; which the subject of reconstruction was freely I discussed, and that their impressions as to his j future course had not been very favorable. I confined myself to this general statement, as 1 did not at the time feel at liberty to go into ’ particulars. I am now permitted’ to give the ! subjoined full version of what took place on ‘

the stated occasion.

Mr. Wilson, with whom frank, straightfor- 1 ward action in all tilings is a leading characteristic, had been anxious for some time to have an early, free and full exchange of opinion with Hie’ President relative to rceonstruc- i tion. Ho desired to express his own views i upon the policy pursued by the Government! toward tin: rebel .States, which lie knew to he ! identical witli these of a majority of the House, | with the utmost frankness to the Executive, : and, if possible, elicit from him a clear defini- | tioii of the line of action he meant to pursue to- J ward Congress — whether lie meant to recog- I nizo the right of Congress to determine upon • the mode of reorganizing and restoring the I rebel .'states to the I'nioii according to the | views of the majority of both Houses, or whether his purpose was to bring the inlhtenee of patronage, and other agencies at his

The Sweetest Bose was Oars. There was a little sunbeam, So pretty, pure and bright. Sent downward from the starry world To fill our home with light; It gently, sweetly nestled Within our quiet nest, And loving one, so sweet and fair. Our life on earth was blest. Chorus.—Oh', there was none more lovely, Or purer than the rose That sweetly nestled in our home, And sought its calm repose. 'Tis said the shining angels, One lovely morn in June, Just dropped this bud in paradise, On earth to radiant bloom; And in life’s pure, bright sunshine. This spotless flower did grow, Its loving contrite little heart No blightning pain did know. < )li! there was such rejoicing When darling Lilia come To he a bright and cherished rose Within our cottage home! And visions of the future, As we were wont to dream, Would make our fairy little pearl Earth’s loveliest sunbeam. And, now, the bright, bright sunshine, As in sweet days of yore. Doth lighten up our quiet homo, But Lilia is no more! A band of shining angels Caine downward from the sky. And gently bore our precious one To their bright home on high.

Wolf Killed.—On Saturday ia-t, in 1 irlpld. ! a man named Wolf, was killed by a man named | Hardy.

Wolf is said to be a man of violent and aggressive temper, and has often indulged in the most abusive conduct toward Hardy, which ha-

llow resulted in the death of Wolf.

We learn that on Saturday lust. Wolf commenced an attack upon Hardy on the street in Delphi, with pistol in one hand, and violent demonstrations witli hi- li-t. Hardy retreated, and endeavored to evade his pur-uivr, but being finally cornered, drew a revolver and snapped it. Wolf then tired and missed. Hardy then tired, hitting Wolf in the abdomen, indicting a mortal wound, from the effects of which he died in half an hour. We state these facts ns we get them.—Pern Weekly Re-

Horrible Death of n Young Lady in Hemphi* on the Eve of Her Rridal. A heart-rending accident occurred at Hie mills of Major Warren, on Beale street yesterday, which resulted in the almost immediate death of a Miss J. Denman, of Port Gibson,

Mississippi.

Miss Denman came to this city several days ago, and was to return home oil Monday, to make preparations for her approaching marriage with Major Warner, of Port Gibson, to whom she had been engaged for some time. Doubtless she had purchased her bridal trousseau. and was happily contemplating the event so soon to transpire. Yesterday, in company with two young ladies of this city— Miss Capers and Miss Walker—she visited tlie mills above mentioned; an inspection of tlie premises was suggested, to which ready assent was given. Approaching too near the’ machinery, Miss. Denman’s dress was caught, and she was drawn between two wheels and mangled in a horrible manner. She survived j but a few minutos.—Memphls Bulletin. De-

Tlie Mobile Register and Advertiser of the 24th, gives thelbfiowing account of the Jackson benefit at the theater:. “There was a beautiful house at the theater yesterday, on the occasion of the benefit of the widow and orphans of the late General ‘Stonewall’ Jackson. Too much praise and thanks can not be given to Zoe, the excellent company, and Messrs. Gilbert and Yates for the interest and spirit with which they entered into the enterprise. The house at the theater last night proved conclusively that their kindness and efforts were appreciated. The theater was crowded from parquettc to gallery. In consequence of the number of tickets sold outside, wo have been unable to ascertain the proceeds of the

The New York IFor/c? condenses the correspondence between Magoffin and Palmer as follows: Appears the popinjay Palmer with this long ago published official document, which he deems discreditable, not to Gaither, but to ExGovernor Magoffin, its author, since become Gaither’s latfier-iu-Iiiw; and the popinjay brandishes the same, and says virtually: “ Constrain your son-in-law to withdraw his suit against Thompson, whom I (not the Court of Law, but) I.

And tlie Ex-Governor drew near to him. paper and pen and ink, and indited the letter printed in yesterday’s sheet to* the mighty Palmer, and said to him with great politeness: “ Do all you dare do;” or, as a profane Wester n sheet puts it: “Do and be -—!”

FicndiaU murder—An Old man Assassinated by Neff roc*—Cold-Blood-ed Atrocity. On Saturday night, about nine o’clock, a bloody tragedy, over which a dark cloud of mystery hangs, was enacted on the corner of St. Antoine and Gratiot streets, which lias caused a profound sensation in tlie neighborhood. The facts, so far as they can be gleaned, i arc taken from tlio statement of a negro named I James Knox, who has been arrested by the ! police. His account of the affair is that another negro, named Joshua Williams, who boards at the same place, asked him during the evening where lie could procure a good second hand vest. Knox, it appears, has been in the habit of trading considerably with one Simon Nelson, an old man about’ fifty-eight years of age a Prussian by birth, who keeps a second hand clothing store on the corner above-mentioned. Knox states that he directed, or rather went with him to Nelson’s store, where a vest was selected. 'While they were bargaining for the article, Knox states that he left tlie store, promising to return in a short time. He went down as far as 3Iiillett street, and was returning when he saw 'Williams running away down the street at a rapid rate. On reaching Nelson’s lie found that the old man had been shot through the head. These are tlie main points of Ids statement, which to say the least is a most improbable one. On investigation it was found that the poor old man who has lived alone in his store, was shot directly through the head, the ball entering above the right eye, and passing obliquely across, came out behind the left ear. Several . parties who live in the same buildidg. hearing the report, rushed into the room and found | him lying upon ihc floor weltering in blood. : He was taken up and lain upon a cot, and . medical assistance sent for. At latest accounts j he was still living, but his recovery is impossible. At intervals lie was able to speak, and we arc infonned by a young man named Thomas Johnson, that he told him (Johnson) that it was Knox who shot him. He said he I was buttoning the vest upon Williams, when Knox put the pistol to his head and fired. If* this be true, the murder is one of the most atrocious and cold blooded on recenl. Hang- i ing is too mild a punishment for tlie black hearted fiend who could deliberate!v shoot down a poor, old unoffending man, without the slightest provocation. Williams baa not yet been tound, but the police are on his track, and his escape is hardly possible.—Detroit Free
