Death ok Old Citizens. —We very
briefly announced, in our issue ot yes
terday morning, the death of William
R. Tant, Keeper of the City Hospital.
He died on Tuesday last, after a pain
ful illness, caused by a cancerous tumor
on his breast. Mr. Tant was for about
twenty-five years in tbe service of tho
City. He was a native of Georgia, and
about 64 years of age at tbe time of his
death. He leaves a family and a large
circle of friends to mourn his loss
His funeral was largely attended yes
terday afternoon, from the City Hospi
tal to the City Cemetery, where his
remains were interred, after appropriate
services at both places by Kev. D. D.
Cox, of Asbury E. M Church.

last, and was interred in the City-
Cemetery, his funeral being largely

Almost Serious.—A little gin, liv

Premiums.—Money brought from

Advertising.—Few persons appreci
the value of liberal and extensive adver
tising. Yet it is one of the most power,
lul aids to the business man that can be
conceived.
For the benefit of those who can’t see
it. when the use of advertising is discus
sed we give the following instance of its
value. The Xenia Torchlight says:
“The man who invented ‘Drake’s
Plantation Bitters’, aud invented th e
cabalistic sign—‘S. T.— 1860 —X’—for
them, and daubed it all over the world,
has made an independent fortune. Late
ly he sold out his right in the invention
(after having made ah much money as
he needed), tor $70,000. After the sale he
was to communicate the significance of
tlie weiiderfulaiid renowned hii rogbph cs :
‘S. T.—lß6o—X.’—Started Trade
1800—X dollars capital. And this
is the fact. He started in business in
18fi0, with a capital of only ten -dollars;
and by dint of constant and persistent
and magnanimous advertising, lias
amassed a princely fortune inside of a
half dozen years."

We make the following extract from the
Weekly Colton Circular of W illiani Bryce A
Cos., dated New York, December 7, 1866:
o«w**al Rika*&«.—Concerniug the crop «re
have nothin# new to communicate; estimate*
continue to vary Wtween 1 , vm l'f>c i I 3OOROOO

expected, and full behind In . tWi() bales.
VV hen we consider the dit! :«veen the
stirrmtixtiug circumstance* ufctu* two seasons,
tins is mum a sinking. for last year
there was every difficulty placed in the way of
getting cotton t«» the seaboard—lack ot trans
portation, low water, etc.—while this year the
rivers are well up, and the railroads in tine
working order, and planter* urgent to hurry
their cotton forward to obtain necessary sup
plies. However, there is an abundance of cot
ton at present, ml view of the Online.ss ot the
g**oda of the .market to supply present do
minds, and our manufacturing companies
seem loth to carry a stock •! goods as wa ll as
of the raw material, even it the latter be at low
pnet-a. Yet the present stock* ot goods must
work oft,and an excitement follow the lethargy
now prevalent both here and in Manchester.
We h am from that city that the mills are car
rying very little stock of 'vv cotton, aud as
soon a* their present io*d of good begins to
lift there will be a hurrying to purchase, which
wiil seriotisl? affect the low price* of the stock
comparatively now existing in Liverpool. The
Kuropcan exports continue vary light, foreign
purchaser* sending m their orders very slowly,
the tdg;t of a two or two ami a half million crop
seeming unitertal abroad While on this
topic tt is not amiss to remark that the Hon.
Secretary of the Treasury estimates the crop
in his late report at 1 500.0U0 bales; in view of
the accuracy of the Government estimates last
year, w’e think this statement should have
some effect on the mark its abroad lhe Gov
ernment ought to be better informed on Ups
topic than private individuals, when we con
sider tue reliable oata they have to go upon,
in the reports of the many agents of the
Bureau, as well as the information oUu.uabie
front the numerous officers of the internal
Revenue throughout the south Additional
weight belongs to the Government estimates
when it is remembered that in October last
year their estimate was 9,500.000 bales, when
almost every one thought 1,500,000 would cover
every halo; event* proved, however, how ac
curate was the information cf the government
tin this point. In our last two circulars we
have devoted considerable attention to tho
consideration of tlie tax ou cotton, and would
touch upon one additional point of exceeding
importance. Wo have endeavored thus far
to prove the tax inimical to the spirit of . nr
institution*, tin wise, unjust, unconstitutional,
aud prejudicial to the interest of labor. We
have also tried to answer the arguments of the
friends of the tax. who argue that it is Lhe only
way to collect revenue from tbe South, that
England by it is made to pay a portion of our
war debt, and that it is in accordance with the
Government in relation to protection of home
indu-trv.

A steady export demand has been the main

former figures indicate «ne Southern view, and
about 2 million hales would indicate the more

receiptsat the ports are now quite liberal, blit
very little is being exported, anil Mocks' are
therefore decidedly on the increase, now
amounting at all tlie ports to 453,376 bales.

Washington", Dec. 12.
The Chair laid before the Senate, a
petition from Win. Boyle, of Washing
ton, asking that no distinction Be made
in su 11 rage on account us race or .sex-
Laid oil the table.
Mr. Wilson presented a petition from
a number ol army officers, asking lor
an i iu-reuse of pay. Referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs.
Mr. Morgan introduced a joint resolu
tion, presenting the thanks of Congress
to Cyrus W. Field, which was referred
to tlie Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Brown, of Missouri, maintained
that suffrage should he universal, with
out any,restriction as to race, color, or
sex. In supjiort of this theory, he read
from a speech made by him on the
subject to his constituents.
The District of Columbia suffrage
bill was then taken, up, the question
being on Cowan’s amendment to extend
the franchise to females.
Mr. Trumbull introduced a resolution
requesting the President to inform tbe
Senate whether any persons have been
appointed to ottiee since the last ad
journment ot the Senate, to fill vacan
cies existing prior to that adjournment,
and particularly if such is not the ease
in regard, to the Surveyor of the Port at
Philadelphia. Adopted.
Mr. Davis expressly denied an asser
tion made by tbe Radicals on this floor,
coincided in by some Conservatives, that
the sentiments ol the people of this
country had been proclaimed in favor of
negro suffrage. It was a fixed Ameri
can principle that suffrage pertained
exclusively to tbe white man. States
had always reserved jurisdiction over
this subject to themselves ; and although
Congress had been given the entire con
trol over the district, yet for many years
the people had been allowed to select
their ow n municipal officers and manage
their local affairs. This negro element,
which it was now proposed to introduce,
was noxious, hurtful, unreasonable, and
unnecessary. The white female popu
lation of this country, at the last census,
was 13,0014.000, and the negro popula
tion less than 4,000,000. Yet those
who advocate negro suffrage, frowned
upon female suffrage. The character
istics of the negro were then dilated
upon by Mr. D., who alleged his ina
bility to elevate himself from barbarism
—even under the most favorable c-ireum
sanees —alluding to the failure of negro
self-government in the West Indies.
house.
Mr. Blaine, of Maine, introduced a
resolution authorizing the Committee
on War Debts of the loyal States, to re
port a hill authorizing the taxation of
i} per cent on National Banks for the
payment of such debts. Objection made,
and bill went over.
Mr. Price, of lowa, introduced a reso
lution which also was objected to, rela
tive to the issue and circulation of Na
tional Banks. Laid over.
Mr. Miller, of Pennsylvania, intro
duced a bill which was laid over, dechiring
that no State of the South refusing to
adopt the Constitutional Amendment
be entitled to representation.
Mr. Cooper, of Tennessee, presented
the credentials of lion. B. Hepperson,
Representative of the Western District
of Texas. Referred to the Committee
on Elections.
A bill heretofore represented from the
Committee on the Judiciary, by Mr.
Lawrence, of Ohio, was taken up. It
provides for the repeal of the law of
1790, which provides that no trial for
treason sh .1! take place three years after
the commission of the act. Mr. Jenekes,
of Rhode Island, and Rogers, of New
Jersey-, argued against the passage or
the bill.
After debate, the bill was recommit,
ted to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Blaine, of Maine, from the Com
mittee oil Military Affairs, reported a
bill authorizing the President to confer
Brevet Rank by aud with the advice
of the Senate upon officers appointed to
the regular service for gallant and mer
itorious action in the volunteer service.
Passed.
Mr. Scbenck, from the Committee,
reported the Senate bill of last session
to regulate the peace establishment ot
the army, which was laid on the table.
Mr. Bromwell was appointed member
of tlie Committee on Civil Service of
the United States to fill a vacancy.
The bill to regulate appointments and
removals from office, was then taken up.
A number of amendments were offered.
Washington* Dec. 12.
A bill was reported by the Committee
on the Judiciary in the House, repealing
the Act ot 1790, which limits prosecu
tion for treason, to three years, has
created a profound sensation, and the
finest legal talent of the body has been
promptly arrayed against the proposi
tion, as one monstrous, under our idea oi
government, Many ol the leading Re
publicans, including Stevens, of Penn
sylvania, will resist the proposition as
an ex post facto law.
Washington, Doc. 12—P.M.
Telegraphic dispatches have reached
army headquarters from Sheridan. It
is understood that the official report
does not differ materially from accounts
already published.
Washington, Dec. 12.
Iu discussing the bill extending the
three years limitation for treason trials,
Mr. Stevens took the ground that time
did not count in tbe case of refugees —
instancing in the connection, Masou and
others. He was opposed to passing
laws to bang a man after the hanging
offence had been committed, for the
purpose of hanging him. Regarding
Mr. Davis, Mr. Stevens said he could
not he tried for treason—was not guilty
of treason. His offence was that of a
belligerent, not a traitor.
A motion to strike out male in Tlie
District Franchise Bill, was lost.
'1 lie House was engaged till adjourn
uient, iu discussing a bill regulating
appointments iu the Treasury Depart
ment. That body repudiates tho setth*
ment made by Mr, Wise, Consul at
London, with Frazer, Treuholm & Cos.,
in the matter of blockade running. I.
is al lodged that a settlement was made
without consulting Minister Adams at
London, or Consul Dudley at Liver
