N*w Yoke, Jan. 27—The Times save: Major Gen
eral Sherman entered the Senate Chamber in company
with his brother. Senator Sherman, this afternoon
while the Senate was in.aeaeion. Immediately a bus*
and hum of suppressed Voices broke forth among the
numerous auditors in the galleries, and there was a
rush to get in favorable position* for a good view of
the military hero. The Senators one by one approach
ed the General and warmly shook him by the hand.
For a time he was surrounded by admiring friends,
and the business of the Senate was almost suspended
during his reception. Gen. Thomas came her* on of
ficial business, and it is said he will remain for the
next coming week. Gen. Sheridan, Meade and Thom-
as are all ordered here to torn a military convention
of affaire in the several departments.
CiTTUMD COXZOH STATISTICS.
Tha records of the Treasury Department show that
from March, 1883, up to August 1866, abandoned and
captured cotton valued at $6,744,000, was (sized by the
government in the Mississippi valley. Of this amount
$3,300,000 have been paid into the department ; the
remainder having been transferred to the original
owners of the cotton, which, to that amount had been
improperly seized.
For the fiscal year ending June, 1866, tb* mint and
branch mints of the United State* coined $32,819,248
64 in gold, silver and copper coins.
TKEFABDOH BSOKSBAOE CASE AT WAlStHOTOH.
Washington, Jen. 27—The trial of General Baker
before the Circuit Court has developed some interest
ing facte in relation to the detective system end par-
from the testi-
detailed by
placed at the dis
posal of Gen. Baker, and directed to act under his or-
ders. He was introduced to Mr*. Cobb, the plaintiff,
as Oept. Howell, an ex-Confedsrate officer, who was
seeking for e pardon. She told him that she had great
facilities for getting pardons, but would not inform
him what Influence the had used. Lieut. Hines drew
up a statement, signed as Clarence J. Howard, and af
fixed a spurious magistrate’s certificate, and presented
it to Mrs. Cobb, who informed him
anything oould be done with money. A contract was
entered into and pardon was procured. The money
paid to her had been marked, and this was found on
her person and taken from her. Witness acknow
ledge* that he made » false statement to her. During
the proceedings Judge Hughes, as counsel for Mrs.
Cobb, said it was a conspiracy to break up a legitimate
business. These Self-constituted, guardians of the
honor of the Government induced the lady to do the
very thing they professed to be anxious to break up.
Even a thief cannot be convlted if money Is placed in
his way by conspirators to entrap him, and the con
spirators are justly execrated, and General Baker and
his co-conspirator, a man who made a false and fradu-
lent paper, acknowledge it waa such, and forged a ma
gistrate’s certificate, need not put on a look of dignity
and talk to me. The days of bullying are passed, and
the courts of justice are wide open, and oppressors and
midnight assassins must come under the law, and
deeds must be known. These remarks were followed
by applause, which was suppressed by the court, and
the Marshal was directed to clear the room if it wa* re
peated.
AN COLT FHNIAN RUMOR.
New York, Jan. 27—Ons of the morning papers
claims to have a dispatch from London by the last
steamer, which says there Is au ngly rumor in offi
cial circles. It Is said that the government has re
ceived information of a Fenian conspiracy to blow
up public buildings It Is asserted that the custom
house has been undermined, ahd that the Hume
Secretary has instructed the chief of the London fire
brigade to adopt precantionary measures. The cus
tom house, government house, and other public
buildings are to be carefully guarded. From this
continued panic two resnlts will enane ; Ireland will
be practically placed under martial law, and a de
finite demand be made at Washington for the sup
pression of public Fenian demonstrations In the
United Slates.
THE BAGDAD SCRAPE—THE EXPECTED EVACUATION BT
THE FRENCH.
Letter* from Brownsville give detailed accounts
of the recent capture of Bagdad. The capturing
party was composed of a miscellaneous crowd of
merchants, sutlers, clerks, adventurers and idlers,
who appear to have engaged 1b the affair as a good
piece of sport, and though It Is believed there were
among the captors aome United States soldiers,
every one of them was present on the other side of
the river to answer to his name at roll call on the
next morning.
According to these accounts, the capture was
planned and executed without the knowledge of
either Gen. Escobedo, Gen. Crawford, or any other
chief of great renown.
The Paris cerrespondence of the Independence
Beige says It Is kuown that the entire French Minis
try were in favor of the evacuation of Mexico, and It
Is rumored that at the laat council they obtaiued
from the Emperor a promise to send no new troops
to Mexico. Tlte assertion is also added that the
speech from the throne will make mention of the
projected evacuation.
SENTENCE OP THE OTEBO MURDERERS.
New Yobe, Jan- 27.—Gonzales and Pellicer, the
murderer* of Otero, were sentenced, by Judge Gilbert,
to be hanged on the 9th day of March next. The
prisoners received their sentence without any emo
tion.
ASTOUNDING ROBBERY.
New York, Jan. 27—Police officer StUlges, of the
eighth precinct, wa* on duty in Carmine street yes
terday morning, when a man dressed in police uni
form came to hipi, and told Rim that he had been de
tailed to arrest a counterfeiter, and the assistance of
the patrolmen would be required. Shortly after, the
porter of the Greenwich Savings Bank, named Thomas
Quinn, came by with a tin box on his arm, containing
$3,000 in money, and he*waa at once arrested, making
a alight resistance—the bogus officer slapped a pair of
handcuff* on Quinn’s writ, and bade the regular pat
rolman to take Mm to the itation-honae, while he
proceeded to headquarter* and reported the arrest.
Thi* was dona, the strange man making his escape
with the box and its contents. It is stated the cash
box taken from Quins contained $60,000 in bills, and
$4,600 in checks.

PRICE, 5 CENTS.,
OUR NEW YORK. LETTER.
New Yobe, Friday evening, Jan. 26.1866.
CABJUTALS
are the rage hereabouts. Not content with indoor
amusements and masquerades, our young folks now-
e-day* adjourn to the skating ponds and play fantastic
tricks on skates by the ray* of Drummond lights, fire
works, blue-light*, Chinese lanterns and fhney.torches.
A Bal Masque on lee is literally on* of the “big things
on ice” which delight* our true fun-loving Snicksr-
bockar. They had one the first part of this weak at the
aristocratic skating park of the city, on Fifth A Venn*,
where the dreeaes were of the most unique and costly
character, and where the elite of this island were pre
aent in "tremengua” fworee." The snob hobbled
around on hla skates like a broken-legged grasshopper,
much to the amusement of soma of Ida much better-
skating female friends, whose sarcastic cachination*
and remarks did not teem to ait well on the wealthy
bat half-scared male biped. ' It la jolly fun to see aome
of these dapper, beatudded, eye-glasaed, spindle-
shanked geniuses in their expensive skating suits,
try to propel themselves along, and squally jolly Is ttto
witness their impotent rage rt being badgered by some
ragamuffin on a two-shillin’ pair of skates, with “a let
ter in the postofflee” fluttering behind, glance and fly
around our shaky parlor hero.
THE CHOLERA
is folly expected to arrive here next spring, and from
the immense heaps of now frozen garbage and filth in
some of our street*, it would seem as if the pestilence
waa to be formally proffered the “freedom of the city,"
Our Legislature has had A debate on the subject, and
have passed resolutions requiring the general govern
ment to give tiie State the use of the hulls of vessels
to be anchored off Bandy Hook, and also a donation of
land on the Hook on which to erect hospital buildings.
The Government ha* once refused or declined so to
do, but it is thought more notice will be taken of an
official request made to Congress. Something cer
tainly should be done.
A NEW SENSATION
was experienced by New Yorkers on Broadway yester
day, and many held np their hands either in wonder
ment or in silent thanksgiving. The idea of employ
ing street laborers to clear the gutters on the ere of a
threatened thaw is something heretofore unknown
hereabouts, although many of our citizens have read
of such things in other citlee. Consequently the pre
tence of a force of these fellows, with their shovels,
industriously at work, drew forth many admiring
plaudits from our community, with many a boolean
upon a Mayor who has the fortitude to exhibit a little
regard few the welfare of the city.
OUR TIGER BALL
cam* offleat night, and the young ’’tigers” are fully
and quiescently satisfied. Their annual ball is always
down on the list of a large number of our best people,
and there are families here who can, and do exhibit
the “order of dances" which have been enjoyed for a
long series of years. The affair took place laat night
at the Academy of Music, and the traditional old tiger
looked down in cairn repose upon the mimic camp and
the gay throng of dances below. Boston and many
othsr cities weer represented, the dark uniform of the
old Boston Tigers bringing to the minds of some of us
trimountain natives many a “ewell parade” np State
street and on Boston Common. The ladies present
seemed to consider the “growls” of their tiger beaux
as exceedingly pleasant, judging from the attention
paid them during a too short evening of enjoy
ment.
THE LIBERALITY
of our merchants has besn put to a test the past week,
and the comparisons made between that exhibited by
them and their brother merchants in Boeton, has
caused some little feeling. Two of our Sandy Hook
pileta, at the imminent risk of their lives, and even
when all others of their calling dared not follow their
example, were instrumental in saving all the lives of
those on board the wrecked steamer Mary Boardman,
during the storm of s fortnight sgo. One of the brave
fellows was not even s fall licensed pilot, being only a
boat-keeper, although fully competent to fill that posi
tion, but too poor to buy a commission. At last, how
ever, some of our business men have started a sub
scription for them, and their bravery will probably
now be as handsomely rewarded as they can wish.—
Such acknowledgement by the public is always oom-
mendable, and stimulates like bravely in future
perils.
\ FUNNY DISPUTE
occurred on Wed-esday at our Produce Exchange be
tween one of tbe largest Ohio farmers and a Scotch
man then present The latter averred that there was
not a farm out wc^t that could compare with one be
longing to a relative in Ayrshire, Scotland. The Ohioan
very naively remarked that, from hia observation of
Scotland while traveling over it, he should judga that
if the whole country waa buried a foot deep under the
beet Chilean guano it could not raiBe a bushel of this-
tie-seed to the acre i The laugh was on the Scotch
man, who subsided. The same Ohioan was subse
quently tackled by a former native of New Hampshire,
who claimed great credit for the industry of the far
mers of that sterile State. “Ob, yes,” said Ohio,
“ they are mighty hard-working people, but as com
pared with the fruitfulness of Ohio, you might mow
New Hampshire with a razor and rake it with a fine
tooth comb, and you would not get enough to keep a
sick grasshopper alive for a week.” The feme of his
native State will never suffer at tbe bands of that
Ohioan.
THE VIGILANCE CUfXITTXK
at Tiutsville Is evidently making itself felt even
hereabouts. During the past week quite a number
of geninses who are well known to the police have
suddenly turned up here, after an absence of a few
months In the oil regions. True, the respectable
portion of the community never seemed to miss them
much, or mourn over their departure, bat their pre
sence here again has led to a renewal in many places
of the old signs of “ beware of pickpockets,” and
“ look oat for well dressed gamblers.” Not only is
this class of people averse to visiting the oil regions
at present, but may people who claim respectability,
and who have been mixed up in fictitious oil com
pany swindles show a decided propensity, avoid a
trip oil ward, for fear oi meeting some of their dopes
in that looallty.
EMIGRANTS TO FBOBIDA
are quite numerous. There is hardly a Savannah
steamer leaves this port but takes a number of enter
prising men and their families, en route for that State,
where they propose settling. They are from all parts
of the country, not a few being from this vicinity.
Moat of them are people who have either previously
visited and purchased or leased lands, who will add
much to theintelligence, enterprise and industry of that
fertile region, and nearly all have buaineaa connectiona
wilh this city.
lVaiblxsgtois College—•General Lea Makes
a Speech.
General R. E. Lee arrived in Richmond on the 11th
and went to the private houae of a friend. Hla busi
ness waa to confer with the Virginia Educational Com
mittee. This conference took place the next day, and
la thus reported in the. Enquirer :
“The Committee on School* and Collages met again
yesterday morning rt half-part nine o'clock, in the
Firat Auditor's office. Bolivar Christian, ona of the
Board of Trustee* of the Washington College, present
ed a memorial, showing the present condition and in
debtedness of the College.
“He stated that In 1790 the State of Virginia offered
to General Washington one hundred shares of the old
James River Company, but that good and great man
refused to accept it except as a donation to the cause
of education in this college. This donation is valued
at $50,000, and the interest on it amounts to $8,000.
This interest has been paid np to January 1st, 1866.
“Washington College also holds the amount of $25,668
in State stocks, donated by the surviving officer* of
the Revolution. The Colleges also holds $13,100
worth of guaranteed bonds in the James River and
Kanawha Company, Which was donated to It by the
late John Robertson. The College has received the
Interest on tbe Investments up to 1866, and la now
greatly In need of what la due. The College also
owned about $16,000 worth of bank stock, which waa
destroyed.
“The tuition fees have heretofore been required in
advance, but the professors have, at this session, ad
mitted many students on credit. By this act of indul
gence the professors are compelled to retort to the In
terest due from the State for their salaries.
“General B. E. Lee, President of tbe College, then
made a few remarks He bad bnt little to add to what
Mr. Christian had said. There were about one hun
dred students at the college this session. The build
ings have all been repaired, the federal army having
left nothing scarcely but the walls. All the philoso
phical and chemical apparatus had been destroyed tv
the same party, bnt had been replaced by the authori
ties of the college. The money used In repairing the
buildings and restoring tbe apparatus had been bor
rowed on tbe expectation of receiving this interest to
pay It back.
“Gen. Lie lookeljremarkably well, and waa the cen-
r of attraction. Soma of me gentleman present,
who, we suppose, had never seen the General before,
seemed so much gratified’ that we thought they would
never stop smiling.
The committee, in mush good taste,hook a little re
cess to pay their respects to the man who had shown
by hia deed* and sacrifice* that he was their friend
through choice, and amid all the most trying adversi
ties
'After Gen. Lee concluded, Dr. Ewell, of William and
Mary College, presented a petition.”
Interview of the Pennsylvania Democratic
Committee with the Presiding—a despatch from
Washington says:
'A delegation of the democratic party of PeiMJ.-
vanla, headed by Mr. Wallace, chairman «f tbe exe
cutive committee, and composed or all Its member*
R. Vaux, Col. Davida,'and others—were Introduced
to the President on Saturday by Hon 8. Randall.
The chairman briefly stated that the motive of their
visit was to offer to the government at this crisis
their hearty and loyal rapport. “If you come to me
as patriots,” said the Prealdent, “I feel It may count
on the support you offer; but if as partixana only, it
U more doubtful, a* I shall not swerve from my
senae of duty for party men or party object*.” He
then went on to explain his views of the political
situation m terms so frank, eloquent and decided, as
to astonish every one present. The result of tbe
interview was simply to malm an entbSBHWtle John
son man.of. every member of the. rooubitts, who
pledged unconditionally the entire vote of tbe party
to the Executive policy, as he understood it”
—The patriotic entertainment at Augusta, the pro
ceeds of which were devoted to ratting a monument to
tbe "hero dead” of that city, was a brilliant success.
