THE "ALBINOS."—Let it be remembered that one of the greatest minstrel performances that has visited our city this winter, will close the season of minstrelsy to-morrow evening at D»wling Hall, upon which occasion will be presented, for the first time in this city, that great innovation on "burnt cork minstrelsy"—the appearance of all the characters in spotless white. It will certainly be interesting.

THE COURTS.—The Criminal Court convened yesterday morning and the case of the State vs. Elliott, charged with perjury was called and tried by a jury, which acquitted him after a full hearing of the case, S. C. Davis for the State and Hon. I. N. Pierce for the accused. The Court then adjourned until this morning, when several whisky cases were called and set for trial.

TIP-TOP.—A "local" in St. Louis has been getting married, and his brother local of the Democrat gave him the following "good notice:"

Some people get married and some don't. Some prefer maids, and some prefer widows—that is a matter of taste. Each horn of the dilemma has its advantages. One advantage possessed by a widow is, that she has graduated—lvis her «ye teeth cut, and knows what's what. A virgin has every thing to learn, and it requires patience and perseverance to instruct her. Our golden-liaired friend, George ("enter Brown, the sensational writer preferred a widow. He picked out the best one in the city—Mrs. Jennie S. Jenkins—and on Saturday the twain were made one. The affections of the lovely and gushing widow have lor some time centered i.i Center, and she was his'n, from center to circumference. Threw exquisite children, ready made, assist materially in cementing the union. 'Tis sweet to bo called "papa" by cherub lips on one's wedding day. The evening went off smoothly—skies serene—trends in good spirits, and nobody hurt. We congratulate our sensational triend up«n securing the monopoly of so handsoniis an "item." Long may he wave.

My drowsy hearers, we are all of use a lot of damaged goods, trying to palm ourselves oil upon each other for more than our market value and the old firm of Time, Death & Co., is doing a heavy commission business upon our stock in trade. I hear the mallet of Death, with its mechanical tap, tap, and stolid monotone of "going, going," and the next minute down it will come upon some of our unconscious heads, and we shall be folded up like the tents of the Arabs, and as silently borne away to the other side of Jordan, where the dry goods man refrains from troubling, and the grocer has nothing to say, and the weary hen ceases from scratcing, and the precious bug is found. "In the midst of life, we are in debt," says a notable prophet, who was near kin to your beloved pastor. If any of you are tempted to tarry in the tavern of life, and fail to settle your account with the landlord, may the text rise up before you like a fabulous Arabian hero, only to rest from the rough and tumble giant, and deter you from that sink of utter depravity where bummers lead trustful hens to scratch up the bugs they devour.

Your undivided attention is furthermore solicited to the signification of the text, metaphorically and collectively, in small passages to suit every capacity, from the boy shucking peanuts peacefully in the corner, to the hardened sinner who talks so proudly in your pastor's presence. And woe unto you, young woman, sea-swang up to the broad aisle with your new bonnet and streamers a flyin', for you are vanity of vanities." And you young men iu your fancy neckcloths, go on until you slip up over a bail of cotton and are left to drift away over the broad brimstone sea of national disgrace, a byword and a jest that you "love not wisely but too well." My beloved, I warn you now, if you manifest symptoms of such cowardice as has been handed down to you from high places, the biggest pair of stogy boots in this congregation will "rise up in judgment against you,", and kick you out into the broad road that leads to everlasting ruin.

And finally, when you cut the crust from your brown bread loaf, and scrape the hard beans from the top of your noon-tide pot, it you cut a little into the soft and scrape a little below the crisp for the beggar's and outcast's portion, your conscience and digestion will trouble you less and as you steal out. as some'of you will to-night, where the silver moon of memory haugs low over the haunted hills of the past, to bow at some hallowed finger-post that points the way a beloved one went over your broken heart to heaven may the eternal verdure or the evergreen hope spring up in the barren spots trod hard by the busy feet of the absorbing Now, and bring you to the sweetness of that peace and the tenderness of that love that overflows continually in deeds and words for the elevation of the ragamuffins who march in the rear ranks of the great army of humanity for the barbarians are not all in the ragged file, but "many a gem of the purest ray serene" wants but a lifting from the filth to sliice. So mote it be. Brother Slowfast, circulate the platter for the root of all evil, until it is all rooted out of this place.

PARIS, March 13.—Versailles has been evacuated by the Germans and a French garrison has been installed in the city.

A convention for the return of the French prisoners in Germany has been signed at Ferrieres. Some are to return by sea from Breton and Hamburg, while others will come overland.

The Crown Prince of Saxony will establish his headquarters atCampeigneon Thursday.

LONDON, March 13.—In the House of Lords to-night Earl Granville announced that the Conference of the Powers on the Eastern question had closed. A treaty had been signed at the foreigh office, abrogating the restriction on the admission of foreign men-of-war into the Dardanelles and Bospliorous. The Porte, in times of peace, may admit into these waters naval vessels of friendly powers, whenever needed to enforce the treaty ol* 185G.

The Danubean Commission is prolonged twelve years. The protocal expressly declares that no Power can relieve itself of the obligation of a treaty without the consent of all the signators.

Emperor William has set out on the route to Berlin, accompanied by a large

and

brilliant suite of Princes, officers of the army and representatives of the German Government. They reached Epernay at noon to-day and were received with great enthusiasm by the returning troops, with whom the city ^was crowded.

MADRID, March 13.—Serious disturbances have taken place in the provinces. At Alconte an armed mob fired upon the Mayor and other civic authorities. Some lives were lost.

In the election Oppositionists were triumphant, in consequence of the disturbed state of the country.

The King's trip to meet the Queen has been deferred. WASHINGTON, March 14.—The removal of Sumner from the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Relations continues to be the exciting topic of conversation in all political circles, and its probable effect upon the future of the Republican party and the renomination of Grant are freely discussed. All Republicans, except a few of Sumner's personal enemies in the Senate, agree that the occurrence is very damaging to the party, and may prove disastrous. In short, that it was a gross political blunder. The Democrats are highly elated about the affair. They believe that the renomination of Grant is inevitable, because there is no man of sufficient strength to oppose him but that his defeat will follow as a necessary result of the dissensions occasioned among Republicans. Many leading Republ.cans, on the other hand, assert that Giant's renomination is now out of the question, and that it is necessary to begin to look about for a more available candidate, if the party is to be saved from defeat. They argue that the entire body of New England Republicans will be hostile to him on account of Sumner's removal, and that it has alienated, also, all original

anti-slavery

vassing

men throughout the

country, who have always formed the active working element of the Republican party. There is already much can

relative to the merits and popu

larity of many prominent public men, with a view to their possible candidacy for the Republican nomination. Among others the names of Colfax, Blaine, Sumner, Logan Schenck and Cox are chiefly mentioned.

General Butler introduced a self-ad-justing currency bill in the House jesterday. It provides for the issue, through the Assistant Treasurers of the United States, of bonds of the denomination of $100 and upwards, bearing interest at the rate of 3-65-100 per cent, per annum, which may be changed on giving a year's notice. The bonds shall- be sold at par value, in legal tender, and wheu any person shall demand of an Assistant Treasurer the redemption of any of said bonds it shall be the duty of the Assistant Treasurer to pay in legal tender notes, which the Secretary of the Treasury shall furnish to him for that purpose, the principal of said bonds, with accrued interest thereon, and cancel and forward the bonds thus redeemed to Washington forthwith, in such manner as the Secretary of the Treasury shall provide^

is said that the legislation in the House to-day reduced revenue nearly $80,000,000. There is no prospect that the Senate will act upon the several bills

abolishing the duty on coal, salt, etc., at the present session. The Merchants' I?ank of Bostou, yesterday subscribed $530,0)0 to the new loan. In response to an inquiry whether the bank may substitute their six per cents, for the new five per cent, bonds, without risk of hereafter being required to put in for a portion thereof four and four and a half per cents, it is stated by the Secretary that such action on the part of banks, so far as he is concerned, will not render them liable to have any change made in the manner of subscriptions, but that they should remain undisturbed until the end of ten years required for maturing the new bonds.

NEW YORK, March 14.—The Express says there has been a heavy reduction In railroad freights to the West. The rate of first-class freight to Chicago is now $1 per one hundred pounds, with a corresponding reduction on other classes, to other points. Present indications point to a general railroad war and much lower freights, as there is already some cutting under the regular rate of one dollar to Chicago.

When the Central Bank of Brooklyn failed, the deposits of the United States amounted to about fifty thousand dollars. The assignee has handed over to the UnitedN States District Attorney a check for the amount.

WASHINGTON, March 13. Senate.

All bills and petitions heretofore introduced were taken from the table and referred to the newly organized committees.

Upon reference of the trench spoliation bills to the Committee on Foreign Relations, Mr. Sumner called the attention of the new Chairman of that committee (Cameron) to the fact that the measure had, at different sessions, passed both Houses, but had repeatedly failed to become a law, iu one case by the President's veto. He

hoped

the Senator from

Pennsylvania would kindly take charge of the business, and press it forward. Mr. Came.on thought it hardly fair for the late Chairman to expect the new committee to secure, in one session, a law which that Senator had failed to have passed in ten sessions.

Resolved, the Senate concurring, that the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate adjourn their respective houses of the first session of the 42d Congress, on Wednesday, the 15th inst., at 12 o'clock, M., without delay.

The preamble, with a resolution, refers to the action of the Democratic members of the Senate of Indiana.

Mr. Cox asked for a division of the question, so as to have a distinctive vote on that part of the resolution declaring the amendments valid, which he thought to he correct, and accepted the situation.

The question was taken, and decided in the affirmative yeas 110, nays 75— two-thirds not voting therefor.
