CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT RATIFIED BY CALI FORNIA. Washington, Dec. 19.—The Secretary of State has addresstd a letter to Governor Jenkins of Georgia, transmitting a copy of a communication addressed to the late Provis ional Governor, James Johnson, relieving him of that trust, and tendering the"co-opera tion of the United States Government, when ever it may be found necessary to promote the prosperity of Georgia. A resolution was offered in the Senate to day calling upon the Secretary of War for a detailed statement of the numerical strength ot the regular army. Mr. Trumbull gave notice that he would introduce a bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedman’s Bureau, so as to secure freedom in all portions of the United • States, to pro tect auy individual in the fnll eDjoymeut of his rights of person and property nud furnish him the means pf vindicating the same. A message was received from the Presi dent in relation to the condition of affairs at the South, in which he says—“from all the information in my possession, and from that which I have recently derived from the most reliable authority, I am induced to cherish the belief that sectional animosity is eurtiy and rapidly mergiug itself into a spirit of nationality, and that representation, con nected with a properly adjusted system of taxation, will result in a harmonious resto ration of the relation of the States to the na tional Union." - - The President also furnishes a communi cation from Gen. Grant, in which that officer says—“ln free conversation with the people of the South during my receßt tour through these States, I became satisfied that the Sou thern people have accepted the present situa tion ol affairs in good faith." General Grant also says there is such a univeral acquies cence on the part of the people throughout the country visited by him, in the authority ■of the General Government, that the mere presence o( a military force, without regard to numbers, is sufficient to maintain order. The General gives it as his confident ■opinion that the good of the country as well as economy requires that this force should he composed of white troops. In the House of Representatives Mr. Farnsworth offered a preamble and resolutions instructing the Committee on elections, to examine into the alleged disloyal statements of Mr. Harris, member from Maryland, and report the same to the together with such action as they may recommend. A resolution was adopted in the House by more tban.a two-tbirds vote, to submit to the Legislatures of the several Stales, an amend ment to the Constitution forever prohibiting the assumption of the Confederate debt. Sacramento, Dec. 18.—The resolution ratifyibg the amendment of the Constitution prohibiting slavery finally passed the State Legislature to day. New York Criltnn Market.

We have expressed the opinion that there can he no material contraction of the cur rency until there is a considerable reduction of taxation, and that all plans for the resto ration of specie payments must have refer ence to the aggregate amount of currency required for the taxes. The Secretary of the Treasury expresses the opinion that thrfee hundred millions of bank notes wifi be adequate for the internal trade und trans actions of the country, twft> hundred millions having been found adequate in 1860. This is, of course, exclusive of the present Gov ernment issue of paper money. On this hy pothesis the sum of between four and five hundred millions of greenbacks are in excess of the business wants of the country, and it is not until this sum in United States notes is withdrawn from circulation that the cur rency can be restored to its normal condi tion—in other words, not he greater in amount than would have circulated if the precious metals, or a mixed currency of pa per and specie had been employed for a cir culating medium. But as the receipts in the treasury are estimated at very nearly tour hundred millions in 1867, bow are the taxes to he paid, amounting to four hundred inillions, if the volume of the currency is to be reduced to three hundred millions ? Is it not obvious that contraction is impracticable until the taxes are reduced ? Is it not evi dent that any plan that looks to re sumption and contraction of the currency must contemplate the almost simultaneous reduction of taxation? But combining the process of funding with the other parts of the Treasury scheme how is the conversion of floating iuto funded debt to be effected withput a contraction of the currency that wifi greatly reduce its volume? and if there should be a deficiency, instead of an excess of receipts as compared with expenditure, how is such deficiency to be supplied unless by funding ? So that there is little or no prbspect of contraction while our taxation continues on so large a scale as at present. Mr. McCulloch, in discussing the subject of a balance of trade,affirms very correctly that the influence of a depreciated currency is nil on the balance of trade, but he does not dis tinguish between credit and currency in their influence on the exports and imports. The nominal exchange follows the changes of the circulating medium, increases as it extends and diminishes as it declines. The real ex change, however, which is not dependent on the amount of currency, but on the imports as compared with the exports, becomes ad verse or favorable in proportion to the ex tension or contraction of credit. To limit consideration to the extension of the cur r rency merely, is to take a partial view of the subject. The Secretary of the Treasury is not un aware of that source ot mischief, i. e.. the too great extension of credit by banks through the agency of their deposits, hut he does not allow sufficient influence to excessive credit by such means, and assigns too much effect to currency, in elevating prices, by which the country that resorts to excessive credit, affords a profitable market to sell in, and an unprofitable one to buy in, producing an ad verse balance of trade until, by the check on imports, exports become stimulated, and the equilibrium is restored. Mr. McCulloch very properly observes that large deposits, loans and discounts arise from excessive issues, and that consequently they are the source of mischief. This is the soar forcible of arguments against making banks depositaries ot the public money. When General Jackson removed the public de posits from the Bank of the United States and placed them in the State banks, it led to an unprecedented expansion of credit, to specu lative enterprise on a prodigious scale, and finally to a collapse that ended in ruin and almost universal bankruptcy. Cannot a close analogy be found between 1836-37 and 1852-53 and 54? The deposits on the 30th September last in the National banks,amounted to between fourand five hun dred millions of dollars. Their loans to about au equal sum. The Secretary of the Treasu ry very correctly classes their investments in public securities with their loans, amounting in the aggregate to upwards of nine hundred millions of dollars. The process has been this. The government hag deposited the produce of the taxes in the National banks. Such of those deposits as they did not invest in the discount of mercantile paper, they in vested in public securities, principally in seven-thirties. The banks have, therefore, loaned to the government their own money, or rather the people’s money, which has gone to enrich speculators. The tax-payers have contributed the fund that has constitu ted our public debt, the dividends on which go, to a great extent, into the pockets of the stockholders of that debt. Mr. McCulloch speaks of it as representing national wealth. It represents, if anytbiug, the productive capital that has been wasted in war. The Lackadaisical School of A ctors. Amongst all its dishonest abuse of worthy actors since the theatrical managers ot New York withdrew their patronage, the New York Herald now and then gives the popu lar humbugs just and salutary criticism.— Snell we take the following to be : “A second hearing of Mr. Frederick Rob inson, the English star at Wallack’s, con vinces us that lie belongs to the lackadaisi cal school, which originated on the Freucii stage, and was thence transferred to England ana imported here by the Wnllucks. The players of this school do not set; they simp ly come before tbo audience and rehearse.— To wear good clothes, look like a geullemun, walk about gracefully, utter witticisms with an indilferent air, substitute nonchalance for passion, keep cool always and do everything quietly, are the requisites of the lacksdaisl cal school Such acting as that ol Garrick, ot Talma, of the elder Ivean and ot tiie elder Booth, these stage fops and dandles cannot compicbuiid. cannot aporoß-h, cannot up pieclstu.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Saturday. Dec. 16. The First Cold Snap of winter arrived, on Wednesday night, and old Boreas danced round our sham built bouses, through their thousands of crevices and rattled their flimsy casements as if he had a persona! spite against the builders and occupants thereof. Young folks bethought themselves of their skates, while older people thought of additional weather strips to their windows and doors, and wondered how many dollars a too the coal dealers would add on the morrow. It has kept cold and clear up to this noon, witli the prospect o' continuing so. Major Generali are quite plenty on our streets. Rosecranz walks up and down Broadway as meek as if Gen. Grant had kicked him. Gordon Granger dashes about with many airs ; Henry War ren looks gruff, Hherman-ish, and Stern as an old warrior, as he is ; Hooker is quite sick ; Fredk (or Fred.) Steele, is here ; his reddish t»eard growing grey quite fast—he is often mistaken for the lamented Lyon ; Sweeney, who left bis right arm in Mexico, can daily be seen at the Astor dinner table, and shows a groat proclivity for the society of certain Bohemians who “feed” there. Sweeney is a typo, and is on leave of absence from the War Department, to fill the War Portfolio of the Fenians, his regiment in the regular army being commanded by the Lieut. Colonel. Heckman, (more familiariy known as “lit tle Heckman") is frequently in town, and is filling a conductor's berth on the New Jer sey Central Railroad. Many a “reconstruct ed” rebel officer has handed him his ticket eu route to and from Washington since last April, and he persistently refuses to “dead head” one Benj. P Butler, who once put him under arrest, but was afterwards glad to re lease him. In the Name of the Prophet-Figs! They are all around us—iu front, in rear, on all sides—on every street and corner, on almost every down-town door-stoop—iu baskets, iu panniers, in wagons, in go-carts, on kegs and apple stands, uutil it would Seem Unit some profusely disposed Oriental geni hud emptied a big cornucopia of that excellent and toothsome fruit—Figs! “Here y’are—pri-i-me Figs!—Here y’are— only ten cents a package—only a dollar a box ! Here y’are!” A Firemen's Parade of our new Paid Fite Department is project ed for next Wednesday. This will create quite a sensation, especially among our old firemen, who doubtless will be present in large numbers to criticise. The Department will appear in their new uniform, consisting of a heavy blue pilot cloth overcoat, With sil ver buttons, blue pants, and fatigue caps, not unlike a navy cap. They will turn out some thirty steam engines, with two horses, the tenders drawn by one horse, and several liQok and ladder trucks. There are no Hose Companies now. The whole department numbers less than five bunded members, at a salary of S7OO per annum per man. A Military Funeral. occurred here yesterday which attracted an immense concourse ot people. It is quite a long time since we have hud a '‘similar occa sion. Nearly a whole brigade of regulars turned out as escort, much to the. surprise of our people, and it was rather a sadly sug gestive sight to see so many of the officers with armless sleeves. The remains of Brig. General Morris, who has lately commanded Fort McHenry, arrived at an early hour, were luid iu slate at the Governor's Boom at the City Hall, and at noon were escorted to Trinity Church, where he was laid among his fathers, appropriately impressive services being held over the late veteran soldier. The “great crowd" looked on—the dirges sound solemnly, grandly—the “dust” was “return ed to dust"—the bands struck up lively tunes —the minds of all returned to business, and the great wave of humanity surged again into their accustomed channels. Tilt- Fenian Imbroglio stands at Ibis date a« follows: The O'Ma honey party have nine points of the cose in lhat they hold possession of the Palace'of the Republic on Union Square, while the O’Robtrts party giqisb their teeth and growl about the city like so many hungry street dogs. It is a deuced bard thing to ascertain who is right and who is wrong in this affair, but meantime during this internecine wrang ling, it. is generally believed that the affaiis of the embriotic Irish Republic are going to the “demnition bow-wows,” while the belief gains ground that the enormous sums con tributed by the Patricks, Bridgets and Mi chaels, are becoming quietly absorbed by certain leaders and their friends! “The Pyurlenl Deiuile'' of the Strong divorce tale are most heartily disgusting sensible newspaper readers. They are laid before our public with a minuteness that, in such a print as the “Life,” wcflld lead to its prompt suppression, but, as all our dailies spread them out in tbeir columns, Os course no legal notice is taken of the fact The evidence against Mr. Strong is now be ing published, and is if possible, more dirty than that of the other side. It is rumored that the "Magnetic Influence" *■ which Mis. Strong, in her confession so her sister, said seemed to pervade her upon be ing brought in contact with her . husband's brother, will be set up and fully argued by her counsel in her defence. The line of ar gument will be that, in certain nature* and certain peculiarly organized systems, like that lady s, what is known to the scientific world as “magnetic influence” is perfectly uncontrollable, and that auy person under such influences is not and should not be held accountable fur acts committed under sucb subtle ageucy. If this proves to be the fact, the case will certainly equal that of Tirrell, who was cleared of murder because ot the crime being committed under the “magnetic influence” of somnambulism. Hoi Water and Vitriol are to be commemorated in this city by mon uments. The tormer is to be commemorat ed by a monument to Fulton, the first Ame rican steamboat builder, und the latter by a monument to Morse, who is claimed as the modern “father of lightning." As steam cannot be mude without hot water, so the telegraph iigbtDing cannot he manufactured without vitrol, and one fellow in our com mon Council, upon making -some remarks upon the question of setting apart some land for the location of these mouuments, hoped that ft hie brass tea-kettle would form the base ot Fulton's monument, und black glass carboy of vitrioil would form that of Prof. Morse, tho latter lo he seated on a coll of telegraph wire. However the city govern ment noted the triangular piece of land on Broadway und .'kith street for Frol. Morse's monument, and a similar patoli at the juno llou ol Dlth street and Broadway.

Boston, Dec. 13. To the Savannah Herald : The Municipal election iu this city scarce l ly made a ripple upon the social surface. The present incumbent, Mr. F. W Lincoln, Jr., who has already served six years, was nomi nated by the Republicans, and us he is a genial gentleman, with no very strong points in auy direction, It was generally conceded that he would he re-elected. He wanted to serve one year more, which would give him the longest service among the Mayors'of Boston, and as this was a harmless vanity, he was generally told to go in. .Opposed to him were several factious, not anywise har monious as a whole, with little iu common besides the prospects ot spoils. These were the Democrats, the Workingmen, and a played out “Citizens Committee,” which was ouceso powerful that it could meet at the Parker House and place ia nomination the municipal officers of the eusuiug year with out halt trying. But the “Citizens Committee" applied a poultice to Boston one year, and since that it has been a mere ghost of its former self. The opposition found considerable difficulty in obtaining a candidate, and when they had finally settled upon a hanker named Geo. W. Warren, who haß served as Aldermab under the present head of the city government, that gentleman threw them into a muddle again by declining the honor. Their next resort was Dr. Shurt leff, a busy antiquarian, who knows all about Boston in the olden time—whether his inqui ries have extended to the- present or not. The poll was very tame, and Mr. Lincoln went in a winnfer by about two thousand votes. As usual, now-u-days in this section, live issues were entirely ignored in tlie con test. This is a charming way, because it avoids hard feelings. And then, you know, it is absurd to vote for any body for any particular reason. No party had courage enough to take a position against the fanatical measures by which the city has been put in leading strings during the last year—arid it seems to he un derstood that the Prohibitory Liquor Law, the Constahulaiy Police and “sich," must he swallowed in any event. We have actually had a touch ot sleighing, but it came so suddenly, and went away so disagreeably, that it is scarcely worth men tioning. There was a cold snap, which pre pared the surface of the streets nicely, a lit tle rain and a glazing, of ice. and then some six inches of heavy snow, which lay without melting even at high noon, for two days, and still remained in wauiqg integrity alter that. Such as it was, it afforded an opportunity for the "limey” to get out their fast horses, arid take the rust off their sleigh runners. I be lieve Boston beats the world in the sleighing season. The “Brighton Road” is celebrated in song and story. On a pleasant day, when the sleighing is good, it affords one of the liveliest scenes imaginable. The number of fancy teams owned in Boston and vieini ty, single and double, is very large, and these are nil out while the Bleighing lasts. But the owners of fancy teams are not the only peo ple who feel the exhilaration of the season. Milkmen, bakers’ boys, butchers’ boys, and expressmen feel auUiorized to do their pret tiest on runners: and it is difficult for the sober suburban deacon to drive his loping family horse across the Milldain during the sleighing carnival without having a brush with something that goes on four legs. To your Savannah readers who have not been in the North in winter, the Brighton Road at such a time would be anew reve lation. Their toes might be cold, and they would have a chance to he smashed into inconveniently small pieces by a collision, hut if they escaped the perils of the road they could easily get up a circulation of the blood with “flip,” a drink compounded of. nectar and ambrosia, tinted with the essence of rainbows. If one drinks enough ot it he gets iuto his system enough esseuce to make a whole rainbow, with which he can amuse his trieods. But don’t let such an one drive home. HU career will end as dis astrously as did Plisetonh when he essayed to drive the fiery chariot Os Phcebus. Apropos of fancy teams, one cf your brother newspaper men Mr. E. C. Bailey,the senior publisher and editor of the Boston Herald, owns a pair which is at the head of the heap in this vicinity. They cost SIO,OOO, Jt is reported, and as they have been per suaded down among the “thirties,” the price is ready very small. They are very finely matched, and are the most important addi tion of the season to the list of fast teams in this vicinity. Business is rather dull here, but money is growing easier, and there are no signs of a panic. Amusements are well patronized. They are having the “Ice Witch” at the Boston, which setups in a fair way to run until it is changed by the Puritans’ descendants. At the Museum they are playing ‘TheSerf” yet, and the public have hot had a surfeit of it. Thanksgiving was generally observed in this vicinity, by many, I dare say, who thanked God that they are not as other men. And I hereby return thanks that they are not like lota. Color.— A letter from Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was read at the recent workingmen s meeting iu Brooklyn, N. Y-, in which the Rev. Henry Ward professed his ardent de sire “to aid in any way in the elevation of the workingmen and women of America." The immense applause which greeted this ex pression was somewhat dampened by a voice in the audience asking, “How about the color ? He aint quite sound on that ques tion, is lie ?" • New Richmond Pacers. —The Richmond Whig ot the 11th inst. says that Saturday was quite an eventful day iu the journalism of that city.
