The Passage of the Negro Suffrage Bill ■ in the House of Representatives—Re markable Dullness in the New York Mar kets—The cause of it—lmportant Transac tion in Real Estate—Failure of the Senate Emigration Scheme —The Academy of De sign Humbug—The Democracy Libel Suit —Miscellaneous Items. [From Our Own Correspondent.] New York, Jan. 19, 1866. .The passage of Judge Kelly’s Negro suf frage bill by the House of Representatives produced a great deal of surprise here this morning. It was generally believed that no hill granting unrestricted suffrage to the negroes of the District of Coluilibla could pass either House, and this belief was strengthened by frequent assurances from Washington that the moderate Re publicans were determined to oppose any bill that did not demand certain quailili catk>nsv But the original hill, extending the franchize to every citizen of the District, jfrWmd yfesterday b-y ati .oyern^hi^ftiiing' majority* and the Radicals afe eofmdehtf that it will soon receive the sanction of the Senate. And it is somewhat significant that the House majority is over two-thirds. If the Radicals can do as well in the Sen ate, they can afford to defy the President’s veto power, should he see fit to exercise it. The success of the Radicals in carrying this.bill through the House will, undoubted ly, encourage them to keep the suffrage ball in motion until they kick it into the South. But independently of its moral effect bn the opponents of Mr. Johnson’s .policy, the mere passage of the bill, by the Jlduse, is one of the greatest outrages yet perpetrated by the destructionists who are endeavoring to coerce the country with an acceptance of their infernal doctrines. Two weeks ago the voters of the district went to the polls and declared their oppo sition to the object for which this bill was framed, and Congress pays no more atten tion to tjjieir will than if the election had been held in New Zealand. It is estima ted that -there are at least twcnfy-fiye thousand negroes now In the District of .Columbia, who escaped there from their owners in Maryland and Virginia during the war. These as ignorant bf anything pertaining to .government as if they had just arrived from Africa. Yet the House of Representatives says they shall have the same voice in the future government in the District that an equal number of industrious and intelligent white voters now have. It is a palpable, glowing, almost intolerable outtage; but Congress is strong, the -District of Colum bia weak, and—well, it is not hard to guess the rest. The dry goods %rade is extremely dull. Other departments of business are unusu ally inactive for the season, but the most serious complaints are heard in the whole sale dry goods market". I was informed this morning by a leading dry goods mer chant, doing business on Broadway, that in all his experience he never saw the join bing houses so dull as (hey are at the pres ent time. The agents of the New Bug land Mills, acting by instruction from the capitalists of that section, hold domestics at such exborbitant prices that jobbers are unwilling to touch them. ■ Even the slight decline that lias taken place within the last ten days failed to draw out buyers, for the latter are afraid to encumber them selves with stock that they cannot dispose of at a profit, and that they might be ob liged to sell at a loss. It is the same case with the agents of foreign houses. They hold goods at such high figures that nei ther jobbers nor retailers will buy, except in very small quantities to supply their immediate wants. The consequence of this policy of the capitalists, and monopo lists is, that the trade in the wholesale dry goods market is almost at a stand still, and I am informed that there is hardly a job bing house in the city making enough to pay the salaries of the clerks employed. It is not quite so bad in other branches of trade, but there is a general complaint of extreme dullness throughout the city. I might, perhaps, make an exception in favor of the cotton market, for the mill owners are making large purchases, in an ticipation of a scarcity of the staple ; but, even there,, the activity falls considerably below the expectations of those in the trade Gold and stocks are still unsettled, and this serves to keep business dull; but the chief cause is to be found in the sys tem by which manufacturers and their agents attempt to control the market. It is believed, however, that t hey will have to change their tactics, and prices must come down, even though all New England should combine to keep them up. Some large movements in real estate have taken place this week, and as things look now, we are going to have a revival of the mania for speculating in buiiding lots. Sixty-five lots were sold in the vicinity of the Central Park on Wed nesday, and the property realized about $620,000. Lots near the Park have more than trebled in value since 1861. Two lots on sth Avenue, facing the Park, were recently sold for $17,000 each, al though but few houses have yet been built where they are located. It is proposed to widen Broadway from 19fch street to the lower end of the Park, and the proposi tion has created a lively inquiry for prop erty on that route. In the lower part of the city real estate is held at exhorbitant prices. The lot a£ the comer of Fulton street and Broadway, near where Rarnum’s Museum formerly stood, has been leased for $16,000 per year ground refit. The two lota between the corner and the new Herald building, now in process of erec tion, will shortly be sold at auction. They cover 59 by 209 feet, and an offer of $500,* 000 has been rejected for them. One brown stone building at the lower eud of Broadway was sold a few days since for $90,000. I may add that the ease with which money can he obtained on good se curity, tends greatly to' stimulate this mania for speculating in real estate. Mercer’s female emigration scheme has not been ft very brilliant success, The Continental sailed from this port on Wed nesday, Lilt she was not overcrowded With passengers. The total dumber of forlorn emigrants, who consented to sacrifice them selves for tl»e sake of the inhabitants of Washington Territory was one hundred and ttventy; and only seventy be longed to the femjft persuasion. When Mercer announced his scheme, he said he would take but one thousand handsome, virtuous and accomplished young ladies. Perhaps New England could not supply one thousand of that sort: at all events, Mercer sailed with about seventy. The greatest humbug in New York at the present time is the Academy of Design, where several persons who consider them selves artists have pieces of spoiled canvas on exhibition. These they call paintings, and on certain evenings they invite all the handsome young, ladies they know to go and look at them. The young ladies gen erally go, not exactly to look at the pic tures, but to enjoy a little pleasant flirta tion with the beaux who accompany them. • One large piece of canvas, covering an en tire sale of the room, has bee it com pletely ruined by an artist named Colyer. It was an excellent piece of canvas when new, but the artist lias daubed paint all fifTfiffliti e^“rr 1 -im’n . inillded t Jbbfi Wd "his friends burying one Barbar, ancbfee made a barbarous job of it. I should think the peripatetic soul of Mr. Brown would pay occasional noeternnl visits to the Academy or to Golyer. Gonzales, the murderer of Otero, has been convicted. His counsel pleaded elo quently in his behalf, btit the testimony against him was too strong, so the jury brought in a verdict of guilty last night. The libel suit against the Sunday Mer cury has been dismissed. Miss Mclvor proved' that the Mercury’s report was cor rect, so Judge Jones declared a non-suit. He also ordered the plaintiff to pay the de fendants $250 to meet the costs of the case. McCabe wanted $20,000 from the-Mercury, and instead of getting it, he has to present the proprietors of that journal with a chock or some greenbacks. We have had some Very fine sleighing and skating this week, blit yesterday and to-day have been very warm, and both snow and ice are disappearing rapidly. The weather is about as inconstant as any f youngladyw'ho ever had a penchant for I cdquettrv. A bold robbery was perpetrated in Wil liam street, this morning. A boy in the employ of the Farmers and Citizens’ Bank, Williamsburg, was proceeding up the above street, haying iu his possession a satchel, containing SBI,OOO. A man jump ed from a passing part, knocked the boy senseless witli one blow, snatched the satchel and made his escape. We have confirmation of the report that Admiral Parreja, commander of the Span ish fleet iit the Chilian waters, committed suicide shortly after the capture of one of his vessels by the Chilians. It is reported that a remonstrance from the American Consul and a rebuke from the Spanish Government, which Ire is said to have re ceived about the same time, drove him to insanity, and the suicide followed. The “afflicted husband” game is the la test in vogue among sharpers. A man of this class entered a coffin store in Brook lyn a few days since and purchased a cof fin for his wife, whose loss he bewailed with heart breaking sobs. He gave a SIOO bill in payment, received $75 in change, and then went on his mourning way. The coffin was sent where he directed, but it wasn’t wanted there, and the bill turned out to be a counterfeit. C. The Washington Quid Nunes differ widely as to the President’s intended action on the District Suffrage Bill. The Wold’s Washington correspondent represents him as expressing himself in warmer terms of opposition to it, and on the other hand we have the following dispatch from the Cin cinnati Gazette’s correspondent: “ President Johnson, in the course of conversation yesterday with a radical mem ber ofVCongress, said that lie would sign the bill enfranchising the negroes of this District as soon as it was passed.” If this be so ihe President may be con sidered as fully committed to the Radical policy. But we shall .see.—-WasA. Press. Another Editor in Trouble.— On Wednesday morning, January 17, 1866, be foro the Court of (Jopimon Pleas, Savannah, Ga., an action wits brought on the part of the State, against' John E.

Humphreys, of Mississippi, has recently issued a proclamation requir ing all persons who, under the Cotton Law of that State, received advances on their cotton during the war, to refund the same amount, in accordance with the terms or their receipts, ninety days after the date of his proclamation. g©* Judge Yerger, of the Warren coun ty district of Mississippi, has delivered an elaborate opinion, in which he declares the “tstav Law,” passed by the late Legis lature, 'over the veto of Governor Hum phreys, to bo uneohstitutidnal, and null and Void. A bill is now before the Pennsyl vania Legislature proposing to change the legal rale of interest from six to seven per cent, per auunm, and allowing eight per cent, to bo charged by special agreement between the pat ties. fii-irTUe prospectus of the “English and American bank,” with a capital of one million eight hundred thousand pounds, has been issued in England. It is chiefly intended to transact credit and exchange banking business in Great Britain and America. Mr. Moprehead, of Pennsylvania, iu tradneed a bill on the eleventh providing ,for un increase of tlie internal revenue tax on cotton, from 2 th 10 cents per pound.— Should the measure be adopted, it is esti mated that it will produce one hundred million dollars per Muaum.

Earth still spreads her fruits before us, Glowing with their ruddy hue: Ah ! how sad the thought comes o’er ua— Tears have been their noisome due. All the flowers that charm our vision • Have their roots among the dead; Pleasures come like dreams elysjan, And, like them, as quick hfeve fled. still, from sad experience learning.

Agricultural .Operations in Southwest ern Georgia, The Albany Patriot, of the 24th, under the head of the Freedmen going to work, says: While there are as yet quite a number of negroes wandering about the city liable to be indicted as vagrants, the great majority in tli is section have made contracts for this year and* have gone to work. One half or more, probably, have contracted for a portion of the crop. They prefer this to payment in money, as a general thing. This plan, if adhered to by ths freedmen, and the next season be a good one for raising cotton, large crops and handsome profits will be tne result. If present intentions are carried out we have no doubt there will be between one-half and two-thirds the amount of cotton rais ed the present year that used tq be previ ous to the year 1861. There has been in Dougherty and adjoining counties nearly as much small grain sown as was formerly, and the prospects are, thus far, that a large crop will be made. The following, from a Philadelphia paper of April twenty-ninth, seventeen hundred and ninety-seven, presents an amusing contrast between the state of the newspaper press of that day and thla: “Os the rapid increase of newspapers through the United States in general, we briefly mention that hardly a month elapses in which proposals are not issued for tne pub lication of a weekly newspaper, often in places so remote and obscure as scarcely, if at all, noticed in the best maps.. Os daily papers, too, we notice a rapid increase.— Borne six months since four cities only were thought equal to the support of those expensive and useful establishments— namely: Philadelphia, New York,CharlO»- and Baltimore. • To these have been added two more, Boston and Alexandria; and now we are informed that the Norfolk Herald, at present published three times a week, is to be converted into a diurnal print on the meeting of Congress. There will then be twenty-two daily papers, published in ths Union, of which nine are published in this city. , , _ fgGg* The Telegraph did not think worth while to send us this paragraph which we find in the National Intelligencer : “Welearn also that an order from the War Department, countermanding the muster out of certain troojxs in Virginia, was in turn countermanded by the Presi dent, who has directed that the troops in question be mustered out.” Bgk* During the past yes? the several Courts of Chicago granted 2 75 divorces, of which 177 were applied for by wives, and 98 by husbands. The new year has opened with a prospect of doing even livelier busi ness still in that line. A Ldy of the ma ture age of sixteen, who had been married just eight days, has been granted a divorce from her liege lord, on the ground of “ in compatibility of temper.” The original draft of President Lin | coin’s emancipation proclamation belongs ito the New Yark State Library. It is j partly in Mr. Lincoln’s ha idwnting, and partly in that of Mr. Seward, the quota tions of laws being printed- It was given by Mr. Lincoln to the Albany Sanitary Fair, where it was raffled for and drawfl by Gerritt Smith, who gave it to the Sanitary Cpmmiission, from which it was purchnsed by the State of New York. • Hgk, A story is told of an inveterate drinker who signed the temperance pledge, but was found soon after imbi bing as often as ever. To his friends who remonstrated with him, he replied that the document which he hau signed waß in valid, because it had no internal revenue stamp. _ BgLThe United States has sixty thousand public schools, giving a scholar from every five persons. England and Wales have forty-six thousand schools, and a scholar for every eight hundred and thirty-five persons, while in Scotland one-seventh of the people go to school. relates a story, which Tom Corwin used to tell, about a norsejoc key in Lebanon, Ohio, who had a rule .“never to lend a man a dollar unless be would put down two Spanish milled dol lars as security.” The jockey’s three main rules for life, however, were first, “never refuse to drink with a man, because it won’t cost you anythingsecond, “never ask a man to drink, because it will ooet you something, and might lead the man into bad habits;” third/'never mind what happens, so long as it don’t happen to you.” _ Intelligence of a somewhat stirring nature has been received from the Rio Grande. On the authority of a Mexican journal, the Matamoras Ranchero, it is stated that an armed force from the Texas side, had crossed the river and captured the town of Bagdad, with jits garrison of Imperial troops, taking the latter by sur prise. The surrender of an Imperial gun boat was demanded, and replied to with shot, and thirty-one persons are reported killed. It is also said that the invaders plundered the town and conveyed the spoils to the American side of the river. A large foroe is said to have gone from Matamoras to attack the invaders. One of the important matters up in Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, the 17th. was the subject of cotten speculations at the South. Information in the hands of the Government shows that the thefts of Government cotton have been enormous, and men in the civil and military service are largely implicated.
