Munute. • c, Mr. Wilson introduced a peace establishment oi the ides that the regular atniy seven regiments ot artillery, aud sixty of iufunir^; each service to coutaiu a propor- of black troops, officered by House. Mr. Howe offered a resolution declaring that the seceding Stales bad forfeited their rights, and made a speech denying the doc trine ot the indestructibility of State Gov- erniuonls. He said the President had no right to restore civil authority lo the rebel Stales; his duties were ouly executive. In the House, Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, made » speech iu support ot tlic bill extending the right of suffrage in the District of Columbia. He said the social element here tosteied the spirit of secession, and made a lengthy speech 011 the subject. Mr. Brouyer, of Tennessee, opposed the bill on the ground that this is a white man's Government, and said the intention of the bill, a* was perfectly clear, was to establish equality of races. Mr. Schofield, of Tenucssce, favored the passage of the hill.. In response to the Senate resolution asking why Jefferson Davis has not been brought to trial, the President to-day trans mitted a message, enclosing a letter from At- toruey General Speed, who states that uo United States Circuit Court has been held in the late rebellious districts siuce the termi nation of hostilities, aud that he held the opinion that the late insurgents awailitiug trial should be tried only in the civil courts when lully and actually restored, and that he has not thought it proper to advise the President to cause criminal proceedings to be instituted against Davis or auy other in surgent in Stales or Districts in which they were not actually present during the prose cution ot hostilities.

Howard, Commissioner, i" etc., Washington: It affords me pleasure to inform you that 1 have been successful beyond my most san guine expectations, in engaging labor for all my plantations in Arkansas aDd Tennessee. I have already engaged about four hundred freedmen, and have full confidence in mak ing a success of the work I have given, in all cases, the freedmen a part of the cotton, , and 1 allow him land for the culture of vege • I tables and corn for bis own use, without ft charge therefor. I would have engaged one {thousand laborers if I had needed that num- |ber. My brother, who adopted my plan ot cork, succeeded in engaging laborers for three places he is working. I have put one large plantation under white laborers lrom the North upon precisely the same terms I fiugaged freedmen. I feel anxious to try the ■ystem of white labor of that character, for l"he plantation. Knowing the interest you feel |u the success of the system of the freedmeu, and teeling grateful for your kindness to me, i feel it to be a duly to communicate the re sult of my work thus tar. With assurance of my personal regard and kespect, I am, General, very respectfully, (Signed] Gideon J. Pillow. At the Thanksgiving dinner of the Arneri- tns in Paris, the toast—‘‘His Majesty the luiperor of the French” was given ; an ex ited American leaped from his seat, and * •>.. of the isle, cried New York, Jan Oar Chilian Minuter, Who sailed last Saturday, was “ovated by quite a large crowd of friends, who were quite demonstrative on the occasion. As the lines were thrown off he was greeted with a round of “nine more" cheers, to which he responded by significantly, pioposing three cheers tor the Republic of Chili,” which were given, with a repeater. Somebody then mounted an old capstan, and proposed “three groans for old Spain,” which were heartily given, much to the disgust of some olive coinplexioned individuals among the passengers. This circumstance is quoted as a political straw ! Orent Expectations are hinged by our people upon the avowal made by our new Mayor, (who has been in ducted into office] in his speech at the New England dinner, that he should endeavor lo reform many existing abuses. How these expectations are to be realized remains to be seen, but the main difficulty undoubtedly will be experienced by him in resolving where to begin—the thievery, knavery and rascality which has so long fastened upon our municipal body corporate, is of such huge proportions as to frighten any man with a speck of honesty in his composition. If it can he done, however, our community feel confident that Hoffman will do it fearlessly. ••The Ball is Up,” 3 the joyful cry of the red-cose youngsters on the streets as the horse-cars go by with a ■white flag containing a round red centre— this being the announcement to skatingdom that the ice is thick enough to bear. After over three weeks of mild, wet, sloppy, foggy, raining, dismal and thick weather, to-day we gladly hail clear skies, a Northwest wind that conjeals as it fleetingly touches, and furs, tippets, mufflers, and other things of a warm nature are iu vogue. Revolvers are about as much in demand now-a-davs in Brooklyn, as they were in this city during the riots. That goodly city appears to be infested with an horrible gang of desperadoes, who seemingly care as little for the law and the tew officers over there as if there were no such thing as punishment lor Clime. A perusal of the papers of thut town of long avenues and high steeples shews unmis- takeable evidence that it is fast going ahead of this city in “modern civilization,” and may yet eclipse the metropolis in the quantity, as it has lately in the horrible quality ot its murders, assassinations, burglurizations and fiendish incinerations. The Bounty Jumper'* Home. No one place in this country was so pro lific in furnishing bountyjurapers during the past three years as that part of Brooklyn known as “South Brooklyn," situate lrom Atlantic Avenue to Red Hook. Probably over a thousand of these scoun drels located in that delightful part of our neighboring city. Many of them made large sums of money and speul it like princes. One of them turned up last Saturday with a request to be sent to the Poor House, which was granted, be mating the remark that that was the bounty jumpy's home. One year and six months ago he hired a brown-stone house on Clinton street, furnished it at an outlay of five tbousaud dollars, married a woman of the town, and became notorious for the number and costliness of his orgies. Suddenly the woman disappeared, the fellow was arrested for debt, and at last, seeing a freezing starvation staring him in his bloated face, seeks reluct: in the Poor House, faithful to the last, in his fieterminaliou to get his living out of the public ! This is only ope of the numerous similar cases. he Viilon Restored—A j'ruclnwution Expected. The National Iuteiligeueer of the 1st in stant, contains the following important an nouncement : “The policy of conciliation, which Presi dent Johnson adopted as the best means ot restoring the constitutional relations of the States lately alienated, is fully justified by events. Nearly all of those Suites have al ready accepted and acted upon the invitation of the president to participate .in the high office ot amending the- Constitution, and have also complied with file President’s ad vice to sweep off from their statutes ail ves tiges either of the rebellion or slavery. State after State, having complied with the require ment* of the Executive, 1ms been restored to its proper functions, aud is now governed by officers of its own choice. In two other States Florida and Texas, such progress 1s being made iu the work of reorganization as to render it quite certain that, they will both soon be in a condition to resume State gov ernment under their State constitutions. It is with great pleasure that we announce the fact that the President will thus toon be enabled to crown his great work of concilia tion by n proclamation declaring that the States whose powers have been so long in abeyance have resumed their * u “ c ' lions as members of the Union, and that tlje Union is restored. New York, Jan. 3.-The Herald's Wash ington despatch says: To obviate the diffi culty now prevailing in many localities in the South, occasioned by the loss ot titles and papers relating thereto in the transfer ot lands, the General Laud offjee has ordered its agents throughout the Southern states pi carefully collect all vestiges and remnants oi the records of their officers and forward them to the Commissioner at Washington, that new plats and othar archives appertaining to the lands may he supplied as far as possible. New maps arc being got up with all possible despatch. At the lime of our ipyaston ol the South many adventurers attached to the army secured many valuable papers and records relative to certain large estates,in the hope of the owners offering heavy rewards for their restoration after the close ot the war. It is the hope of the Commissioner oi public lands to be able to luVnish so much of the missing data as to prevent parties to the theft gaining by the documents they now withhold in expectation of a bribe. e New Bankrupt Bill.

The largest sioglc amount ot prize moDey paid was to Lieut'. Win. Rudd, for the capture of the Memphis, $38 318. The capture of the Albemarle, by Lieut Cushing’s picket boat, brought the boat's crew $1,984 per man. Vice Admiral Farragut receives $55,443 ; Rear Admirals Lee aud Porter receive over $S0,000 each; Dupont. $58,436; and other Admirals sums varying from $49,000 to $470 Sums awarded to otbt r officers vary Tom $54,000 to $500.

CORRECTED JAN. 4, I860. interest. The hill then provides for voluntary bankruptcy, on the motion of the bankrupt himself; aud involuntary bankruptcy, on the motion of the creditors of the bankrupt. The provisions are distiuct as to each. In involuntary bankruptcy it is provided that any person residing within the jurisdic tion ol the United States, owing debts prov able under the act exceeding $500 in amount, can apply by petition to the judge of the ju dicial district in which ho resides, setting torlh his inability to pay his debts, and an nexing a sworn schedule of his debts, their amount and nature, with the oames and res idences of his creditors, annexing also an in ventory of all property of every kind in his possession, or in which he has any interest; and the filing of anch petition is to be an act of bankruptcy,. and the petitioner shall be adjudged a bankrupt. The judge is then to issue a warrant directing the marshal lo take possession ot all the debtor's property of ev ery kind, and keep the same until the appoint ment of an assignee, and directing him to notify creditors to prove their debt3. As signees are lo he chosen by the greater part in value of creditors, and such assignees, when approved by the judge, take possession of the debtor’s property and all books and papers relating thereto, with certain slight exceptions. All debts and liabilities existing, though not matured or not ascertained in nuiount at the time of the adjudication of bankruptcy, may be proved against the bankrupt’s estate- And all claims provable under the act can be prosecuted iu no other manner than under the act, except for the mere purpose of de ciding their amount. All claims arc to be presented on oath, and are to lie investigated judicially in case either their amouul or vali dity is disputed. The assignees have power also, under the supervision of the courts. to sell or redeem properly, and to take various prescribed measures for the advantage of the estate, and to bring and to defend soils on behalf of the estate. Wages due aoy operative, clerk or bouse servant, to an amount not exceeding fifty dollars, are to hare a priority over all claims of individuals, and be first paid in full. At the final dividend claims are to be paid in full in the following order: First—Fees and costs ot the proceedings. Second—All dues to the United States. Third—All dues to the State in which the proceedings are pend ing. Fourth—Wages of operatives, &c., which have accrued during the six months preceding the first notice of the proceedings as above mentioned. Fifth—All dues to persons entitled to priority, atide from the provisions of the act, under the laws of the United States. On due notice, and at the lime and under the conditions provided by the act, the final discharge is to be givpn to tho bankrupt from all claims provable under the act; such dis charge to be withheld, or to be invalid if granted, in case of any fraud or violation on the part of the petitioner ot the provision of the act in that behalf. No second discharge is to be granted to any bankrupt whose estate is insufficient to pay seventy per cent, or me claims against him without the consent of three-fourths, in value, of his creditors. And no third dis charge can be granted in any case. But a Imnluupt who has paid all claims existing at the time of a previous bankruptcy shall be purified to a discharge as though there had been no previous application. Creditors may oppose the discharge, and have the grounds of their opposition tried by jury. 4*1 debts created by action of the bankrupt in a judi ciary capacity arc exempte.d from the ope ration of the discharge. Similar provisions are made as to bank ruptcy proceedings on the part of partner ships and corporations. The proceedings in involuntary bankruptcy on the motion of the creditors differ from those is yoluutary bankruptcy simply in their commencement. Whenever a debtor avoids legal process in an action for the re covery of a debt or demand provable under the act, or disposes of hia property in fraud of fiis creditor?; or whenever a banker, mer chant or trader fraudulently suspends and dues not resume the payment of hjs .com mercial paper within fourteen days, and in a Urge class of enumerated cases the debtor, oi petition of his creditors to the amount of o-er two bppdre'] and fifty dollars, shall be aJjudged a bankrupt. After the adjudication of bankruptcy, three- foirths in value ot the creditors can, under tin direction and approval of court, wind up aid settle the bankrupt's estate In such man- ucr as they may agree upon, and the estate isthen vested in trustees, the rights and du- tiis of the trustees being similar to those of th; assignees under the ordinary method of pnoedure; and the discharge is to be in the Wqje form and of the same effect as though tie usual proceedings ii) bankruptcy were lid.—-V.

Cheering News from Wabuinoto.n.—A Dedal despatch to the Louisville Couiiei. iated|Washington, January 4, in commeutiug m the state of affairs, reads thus : Yinoug those who have returned from a lirigtmafl yifcjt to thejr friends, there is a ery marked tendency to porservaUsip ancj a norc general support of Johnson’s policy of ecousiruetion. At the beginning .of the sns- ion of Congress there were only two Sens ors known to be willing to give a hearty upport to the President ; now there are more ..an twenty who will stand by him aud sus- iin his programme. The few radicals are endeavoring to coun- ract the influence of the recent popular rte against negro suffrage in the District, ieetings have been called for this purpose, lit they have been complete failures in every jstance. The impression is beginning to levail that an active advocacy of negro suf- hge is not a strong recommendation to Lecutive favor, and offly a few official* live had the manhood lo defy the Execu te displeasure.
