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. Mr. Jeremiah O'Conner, another old and respected citizen, died on Tuesday last, and was interred in the City- Cemetery, his funeral being largely attended. The Catholic Society of St. Vincent de Paul formed the funeral escort for the occasion. Almost Serious.—A little gin, liv idg on Bridge row,'Maggie Murphy by name, came near being seriously burn ed, yesterday. In running past the fire-place, her clothes ignited; her guardian had presence of mind to seize the child and smother the flames. County Court —On yesterday, tho following cases were tried: State vs Alfred Coleman an 1 John Jones, lar ceny from house; guilty. Thomas Roll, single larceny; not guilty. T. Howard, larceny from house; mistrial. Premiums.—Money brought from 54 to 08 per ct. premium at the meeting of the .Stonewall Jackson Loan and Building Association on Tuesday. 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."

The receipts d<* n as was 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. The New York Commercial amt Financial Chronicle dated Friday December 7th, ISUH. say.* that tlie receipts of Cotton the past week at all tlie pons amount to 60,849 bales, against egy 9 lattes the previous week, making the total receipts since September 1, tins year, 4.777 ’-’bah-s. against hi'. 003 bales for the same peri-si in l»tf.. The exports from a'l the ports for tins week show a decrease, the total reach iug 22.543 hales, of whieh 1ti,.527 bales were to Liverpool. 3923 bales were to Havre, 4i‘*2 bales to Bold, aux, -!UU bales to Barcelona. -lot> bates to Bremen, and 515 bates to Hamburg. 'the totat foreign experts Iron, u„, United States since September 1. now amount to 159.555 bales, against :2K> 629 bales last year. the market the past week has been fairly active, with no important variation in prices. A steady export demand has been the main fca-iire. * Spiuncr* are doing but little, being supplied principally from the Southern mar kets. There is fess’nioney pressure upon re ceivers of cotton, and they are carrying the in crease stock with moreea-e. The sales of tlie week are about 12 500 bales. We have nothing new to report with regard to the crop The season for picking is now over throughout- the cotton growing .States, and we shall soon know tin* result. Ksiiinutes ditf-ras to the total yield, the extremes being 11 3 millions to about 21-4 million bales. The former figures indicate «ne Southern view, and about 2 million hales would indicate the more generally recent estimate at the North. The 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.

The Senate pateeJ, today, tlie House bill imputing only an advalorem tux on liquor. [Erotn the Coited Stales and European Telegraphic A ’eico Association.] REPORTED FOE THE DAILY PRESS. FROM WASHINGTON. Cungrcisional. SENATE. 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 pool. Durant and Fisk were before the New Orleans Riot Committee to-day. They leave for New Orleans Monday. Gold in the Treasury, $96,000,000, of which $21,000,000 are subject to draft ou certificate. FROM NEW YORK. New York, Dec. 12— P. M.

Gen. Foster, commanding, states that he thinks troops cannot safely be with drawn. FROM SAN FRANCISCO. Sax Francisco, Dec. 12. Advices say that Bozona had received a commission as Coinmander-in-Chief of Western Mexico. It is rumored at Guayma that Mar tinez had raised the standard revolt in favor of Santa Anna. The arrivals of Lieut. Gen. Sherman and Minister Campbell, and the ap proach of Major General Sheridan is regarded as unfavorable by the natives, who desire to be let alone. The condition of affairs in Western Mexico is as bad now as when held by the French. Plunder and robbery are rife everywhere. The mail steamer Twilight, at Man zanilla, carried away a large amount of treasures. The British war ship Alert, took half a million dollars ; the British steamer Scout had secured $2,500,000 from Altala and Guayma*.
