Our Washington Correspondence.
'(From our Regular Correspondent]
Washington, June 12th, 1866.
Tho counsel of Mr. Davis and several other persons,
among them, Horace Greely, have been here trying
to get Mr. Davis released. The President would gladly
let him out of prison, bjit does not wish to give the
Republicans capital. The affair has been managed
stupidly. The Government should, as soon as the in
dictment for treason was found, have turned Mr.
Davis over to the civil authority, and then on a show
ing ol the length of his imprisonment and his ill-
health, an order for bail might have been obtained for

lute n that he should be kept in prison, have placed
an additional obstacle in the way of his discharge,

their purpose.
lie news from Europe that the Congress is to meet
is considered here.as greatly increasing the chances of
peace. i
lhe Senate Committee of Finance are now con
stantly engaged on the Internal Revenue law. The
proposition total cotton five cents a pound will be
reported against by the Senate Committee. The
House is so radical and so feeble, as a mass, that the
Senate have to supply whatever of common sense is
found in the legislation of Congress. Perhaps there
never was a more unfit body for ordinary legislation
than the House of Representatives. It is filled with
visionary malignants, who have uo use for statesman*
ship.
The negroes ot Albemarle in part have been stirred
up by outsiders to petition Congress to retain the
military in Virginia to protect them from their mas
ters. It is said evil disposed persons are trying sys
tematically in Virginia to make the uogrocs discon-
t'-nted. This is done for political effect, in order to
excite the sympathy of the Northern people for the
negroes.
The Committee of Ways and Moans of tho House are
engaged upon the tariff. The great problem is to fix
Upon a law that will give the greatest amount of pro-
ectiou, and the least dissatisfaction North. This is
net so easy to do. Each interest thinks the utmost pro
tection should be exteuded to it, but does not see the
same reason for protection of other interests.
The new Freedmen's Bureau bill will have a clause
added to it in the Senate, to settle the titles to the Sea
Island lauds on the coast of South Carolina, by pro
viding that the ow ners may make compromises with
the negroes in possession.
The President a ante chambers continue thronged.
Persons an- here waiting for the last week, on special
appointments, to have interviews, without being able
to see the President Among-the attendants for ad
mission to-day was tho famous Mrs. Cobb, who is said
to hat e a mysterious influence in obtaining pardons
But it would seem if she had any real influence she
would not be waiting in the common throng.
It is a very curious fact, how quietly Congress have
let down the question of negro suffrage. They have
started out rampant to force it on thiB District, but af
ter getting a bill through the House, they let it qui
etly sleep in the Senate. This is the sacrifice of feel
ing to policy.
i he President is in good spirits, and confidently
being sustained by the people.
The National Intelligencer, which is closer to the
Pr udent thuu auv other paper, made a fine attack I
In tho House of Represeniatives dti Monday last Mr.
Ancona, ot Pennsylvania, offered the following pream
ble and resolution:
Whereas. The Irish people and their brothers aud
r friends in tbra country are moved by a patriotic
purpose to assert the independence and re-establish
the nationality of Ireland; and,
Whereas, The active sympathies of the people of
the United States are naturally with all men who
struggle to achieve such ends, more especially when
those engaged therein are the known friends of our
Government, as are the peoule of the Irish race, they
having shed their blood in defence of our flag in every
battle of every war in which the Republic has been
engaged; and,
Whereas, The British Government, against which
they are struggling, is entitled to no other or greater
consideration from us as a nation than that demanded
by the strict letter of international law, for the
reason that during ourlate civil war that Government
did in effect, by its conduct, repeal its neutrality laws*
and. i
Whereas, When reparation is demanded for damages
to our commerce, resulting from the wilful neglect of
Great Britain to enforce the same, she arrogantly de
nies all responsibility, and claims to be judge in her
own cause; and
Whereas. The existence of the neutrality law of 1818
compels the Executive Department of this Governmeut
to discriminate most harshly against those who have
ever been, and are now, our friends, in favor of those
who have been faithless, not only to the general prin
ciples of comity which should exist between friendly
btates, but also to the written law of their own nation
on this subject; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Committee on Foreign Affairs be
instructed to report a bill repealing an act approved
April 20,1818, it being the neutrality law, under thu
terms of which the President's proclamation against
tho Fenians was issued.
Mr. Hale moved to lay the preamble and resolution
upon the table.

ST. CHARLE^LOON,
ing yesterday morning's paper, to sec that the City
Council had passed an ordinance permitting the sale
of ice cream and soda water on Sundays, thereby not
only breaking the fourth commandment, but granting
an opportunity to those who indulge in the use of ar
dent spirts, to satisfy their appetites by getting liquor
mixed in soda water. What Christian (I don’t mean
those the world calls Christians) can look upon the
ordinance just passed without having _his feelings
hurt, in thus seeing the laws of God set aside to gratify
the desires of perishing humanity? Then, again,
excursions on the Sabbath are being permitted—cannot
this be stopped ? There certainly must be some one
who has the authority to prevent it; if so, oh, that the
grace of Qod may reach such an one’s heart, and give
him strength to perform his whole duty. Suppose
the boat were to meet with an accident and all on
board lost, do you think they could stand before their
Maker justified? There is also another evil in our
oity which the Council have the power to remedy—
that is, the opening of the drug stores on Sundays for
the regular transaction of business. It is true that the
sick need medicine, and it is lawful that drug stores
should be kept open for that purpose, but why not
confine them strictly to the sale of medicine ? It is
time that the tide of iniquity which is sweeping over
our city should be Btopped: aud if those who pro/ess
to be Christians encourage or acquiesce in such wick
edness, then we may look upon Savannah as a Cliora-
zin or BethBaida. Consistency.
Mr. Banks, Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, and other mem
bers, sought to offer suggestions, but Mr. Ancona,
having moved the previous question, refused to ac
cept ot the suggestions. He, however, modified his
resolutionTso as to make it read, that the Committee
on Foreign Affairs be instructed to inquire into the
expediency of reporting such a bill.
The House refused to lay the resolution on the ta
ble, by a vote of 4 yeas to 113 nays.
The yeas were Messrs. Cobb, Davis, Hale and Grin-
Mr. Grinnell stated that he voted "yea” because he
understood the resolution to be a reproof of the Ad-
ministration.
The House refused to second the demand for the
previous question.
Mr. Schenck then offered the following as a substi
tute for the resolution, and demanded the previous
question. *
Rfsol Bed, That the President of the United States
in the opinion of the House, should reconsider the
policy which has been adopted by him as between the
^British Government and that portion of the Irish poo-
ple who, in the name of Fenians, are struggling for
their independent nationality, and that he be re
quested to adopt, as nearly as practicable, that exact
course of proceeding which was pursued by the Go
vernment of Great Britain in the late civil war in
this country between the United States and rebels in
revolt, recognizing both as lawful belligerents, and
observing between them a strict neutrality. «
Mr. Harding, of Illinois sent to the Clerk’s desk and
had readrwhat he desired to submit as a substitute for
both propositions, declaring that the course of the
Government in repressing the Fenian invasion is ig
nominious and disgraceful.
Mr. Schenck declined to allow the substitute of Mr.
Harding to be offered.
Mr. Banks asked Mr. Schenck to yield to a motion
to refer the resolution and substitute to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, promising that if referred the Com
mittee would make a report.
Mr. Schenck yielded for that purpose, and Mr
Banks submitted the motion.
The “previous question” was then seconded.
Mr. Hale moved to lay the resolution and substitute
on the table.
The motion was lost, by yeas 8; nays 113.
Mr. Hale desired to offer an amendment as a sort of
compromise.
Mr. Ancona objected, and the question was taken on
the reference oi tnc original resolution, aud Mr.
Schenck’s substitute to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, and this was agreed to by yeas 91; nays 34.
Mr. Hale subsequently, as a personal explanation,
sent up and had read the resolution which he had
wished to offer as a compromise, as follows:
Probst, tlie Murderer, Dissected—A Nar
rative of Horrors.
A post mortem examination of the body of Anton
Probst, the murderer of the Deering family, was
made at Jefferson College, Philadelphia, on Saturday
evening, by Dr. Win. H. Pancoast, in the presence of
a large crowd of spectators. The New York Herald’s
correspondent, in a long and minute account of the
appearance of the body, Ac., says:
When the body was brought in there was little in
its outward appearance to indicate to an unscientihe
observer, that there lay before him a mass of clay,
out of which the gallows had strangled life but the
day before, except a purple furrow around the neck
marking the position of the rope. This furrow was
not continuous, nor was it in the same place all around
the throat; it rose up where the knot had been tied
behind the ear, and disappeared entirely over the ca
rotid gland, so that the ends of the furrow did not
meet. Immediately after death there was no suff u
sion of blood to the face, no projection or swelling oi
the tongue, no distortion of the eyes or features; in
fact, noueof those horrible accompaniments which are
commonly supposed to be inseperable from such a
death. The eyes had been extracted for examination
under the microscope, but the cavities were tilled with
cotton and the lids drawn close. With a powerful
electric light no image of any sort could be discovered
on the retina. This is almost conclusive in refuting
the theory that iu the eye of a dead person, as in a
camera obscura, there is retained a photograph of the
last objects seen iu life. Au incision in the right side
of the neck marked where the poles of the electric
battery were applied. To these electric promptings
the nervous system replied for some time—two or
three hours—after life was extinct. Even the smaller
muscles of the face, such as the levatar Lali superio-
rid alteque nasi, performed their functions accurately.
The upper lip twitched, the mouth smiled aud grinned,
while applications to other sets of muscles made the
eyes wink, the arms rise and fall, or the fingers open
These were affected by very slight current*
has entered into a long explanation of the facta. The
facts, condensed-by one of the readers of this pamph
let, are as lollows: ^ v
John D. and Moses Williams, heavy importers of
liquors, had constantly and systematically
cheated the Government for nineteen years, by means
oi false invoices on champagne. In 1066-their fraud
was suspected, aud tlicir books seized. From them
abundant evidence was obtained that at th* in
tion ottho Messrs. William., Vn!
L. Boederer, manufacturer of the Schrieder brand of
champagne. Invoiced his wines at a rate much below
their market value. This invoice was presented at
the custom house, while another, of tha correct
amount was sent to the Williamses. The loss to the
Government from this trickery between 1846 and
186a, exceeded the enormous sum of 12 200 000 It
was also proved that the firm had plaved a’ similar
game in regard to importations of sherry lhe frauds
in this case amounting to over $25,000. The offences
dating more then five years back, could not be
punished, by reason of the operation of the statute
ot limitations, and the others the offenders
were desirous of compromising. They employed
as their agent to wait on the collector one Samuel
A. Way. He offered $100,000 as a settlement —
This Mr. Goodrich refused, demanding, as he says
from three to fivo hundred thousand dollars Finally
the Secretary of the Treasury authorized him
to _ accept the $100,000, exclusive of $26 00b
paid to settle the sherry transaction, aud dis-
charge the guihy parties. This settled the question
so far as the Williamses were concerned; but it leaks
out that W ay received, in addition to the $125,000 the
sum of $32,000, ostensibly not for his own benefit

The whole affair seems abominable. The swindlers
not ordy cheated the Government during a time when'
it needed every dollar of revenue ft could raise, hut
regularly perjured themselves ou the arrival or a eon-
signmeut of champagne. For Government officials to
negotiate with such rascals through ahiredgo-be-

bribery could hardly render their conduct more
odious.—A. Y. Evening Express.

THE CASE OF EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS.
Tlic Refusal of Judge Umierwood to Bail
Him—Action of the House of Kepresen-
tive*—His Physical Condition, etc., &c.
The following is the text of Judge Underwood’s
decision upon the application to bail Ex-President
Davis:
IN THE MATTES OF THE APPLICATION FOR THE RELEASE
OF JEFFERSON DAVIS ON BAIL.
I have considered the application made by Mr. Shea,
of counsel, to admit Jefferson Davis to bail.
Under the circumstances, the application might have
been more properly made to me when recently holding
the Circuit Court at Richmond.
Bnt under the law it may doubtless be made also
in vacation, and I will briefly state my views of it, and
mv conclusions;
In the States which were lately in active rebellion,
military jurisdiction is still exercised and martial law
^Tlie^civil authorities, State and Federal, have been
required or permitted to resume partially their
^ ... c. Dwiawiont as rommander-
spective functions, but the President, as Commander
in-Chief, still controls their action, so far as ho thinks
such control necessary to pacification and restore-
U In holding the District and Circuit Courts of Vir-
einia, I have uniformly recognized this condition.
Jefferson Davis was arrested under a proclamation
of the President, charging him with complicity in
the assassination of the late President Lincoln. He
has been held ever since, and is now held, as a mili
tary prisoner. He is not, aud never has been, m the
custody of the marshal for the District of Virginia, and
he is not, therefore, within the power of the court.
While this condition remains, no proposition for
bail can be properly entertained, and I do not wish to
indicate any probable action under the circumstances.

The offender replied, that he was a small man, but no

Mr. Hardee rode over to Mrs. Bobers’ and got Mr.

GEORGIA STATE DIRECTORY
For 1866 and 1867.
BY CAPT. JOHN C. BRAIN, OF
SAVANNAH, GA.
T HIS valuable work of reference will be published
on or about the 1st day of July next. It will
embrace the exact location of every bnsineas and
professional man In the Sate or Georgia, aa well as
the private residences in all the cities, and will be the
most extensive and complete directory ever pub
lished. No business man should be without it, and
none should fail to advertise in It, as it Is doubtless a
splendid medium through which to communicate
with substantial classes throughout the country
In the City of New York alone the pnblieher has
nearly five hundred subsrribcrs, and that lfst is daily
on the increase. The price of subscription is within
tho reach o’ ev. ry business man, however limited his
means. The advertising terms are likewise reason
able.

that he had died from the 3hock to < the nervous sys
tem, caused by the sudden fall. Probst’s brain was in
a healthy condition, weightng thirty-six ounces. His
digestive organs must have been remarkably good, for
in his stomach there was hardly a trace of the break
fast eaten only three hours Before death. The body
was plump and white where not discolored by suffu.
sion of blood, as before described. When it was cut
down there was no foaming at the .mouth, no dis
charge from the nostrils. The upper lip was slighly
swollen. • _
Minute of Points
Decided bg the Supreme Court at Milledgeville, Ga.,
Jane Term, 1866, Continued.
Cunningham vs. Schley. Petition from Richmond.
The executors of a guardian who died possessed of
specific property belonging to his ward, cannot, before
the expiration of twelve months from their qualifica
tion, be compelleff by tbe Court of Ordinary, ou peti
tion of the ward, (who had attained his majority) to
turn over to him such property by way of partial set
tlement. Even if the Court of Ordinary can exercise
over such matters the same powers belonging to a
Court of Chancery, the executors cannot be called on
before the twelve months are out; and then, not for
a partial, bnt only for a fall and final settlement.—
Judgment affirmed.
Fish vs. Van Winkle. Statutory proceeding against
tenant holding over—from Richmond. Lumpkin,
C1 j, Tjfie jury may consider the evidence of an im
peached witness; This proposition is correct of itself;
and is certainly so when limited with the proviso that
the evidence be in harmonv with truth, and corrobora
ted by otheif evidence..
2 A charge that an offer of reciaion is not too late it
made within a reaaOaaMd toe, and that the interven
ing occurrence may be considered on that question, is
as favorable to the party moving for the reciaion, as he
has a right to ask. *
3. So, also, is a charge that a trade induced by un
true representations is vitiated. Thia is going to the
uttermost boundary of the law.
4. Whereas no motion fer a new trial has been made
in the Court below, the Supreme Court will not pass
upon the question whether the verdict was.contrary
to law, contrary to evidence, contrary to law and evi
dence, contrary to the weight ol'evidence or contrary
to the charge of the Court. Judgment Affirmed.
Sneads 4: Lailerstedt tor plaintiff in error; Starnes &
Johnson for defendant.
Jones vs. Linton. In equity from Richmond.—
Walker, J.
1. An answer founded on belief or information, may
be overcome without two witnesses, or 'oneiwitness
and corroborating circumstances.
2. If goods are supplied to an administrator who
represents estates which are tw in law but one in fact,
fact, the creditor is not bound to show for which of the
estates they were furnished.
3 In this case there waa some evidence tending tp
establish that the effects qf the two estates had never
been separated,and therefore the charge of the Court
on that subject was not irrelevant. Judgment af-
fil Stanio3 for Plaintiff in error; Lailerstedt for defend
ant.
Highly Important from Mexico.
The following letter, from a very distinguished and
reliable source In the city of Mexico, has just been re
ceived in Washington. The information it- gives is
both interesting and important:
Citt of Mexico, May 20.—Gen. Became has re
ceived orders from the French Minister of War, Mar
shal Random to immediately concentrate the French
forces in Mexico at the cities of Mexico, Fqgbla and
Orizaba, forming the principal camp at the latter
place- to embark three-fourths of the force in Novem
ber, and the remainder in March next; to not meditate
any further movements against the Liberals, nor to
attempt to reoccupy any place that has once been
abandoned, even it the Liberals retake possession in
the very act; and to give no more money to Maxi
milian—in a word to bring the whole French expedi
tion to an end by March of the coming year.
With reference to money, the situation is very bad,
indeed, as the following incident will show:
On the application, recently, of Maximilian to Gen.
Bazrine tor further pecuniary supplies, the latter ex
cused himself on the ground of orders from home.
gaTimHiftn then s^iatwi that he should abdicate and
leave the country at once if morn money was not fur
nished. Thereupon General Bazrine issued orders to
the Paymaster-Genera! to derived to the Imperial Go
vernment half a million of dollars.
The Paymaster-General, however, refused to obey,
ss he bad received orders direct from the French
Minister of Finance, Mr. Fonld, not to give to Man-
milian a single dollar more.
Gen. Bazaine then sent an armed force, who broke
open the safes and took the money
This scandal hzs caused z great excitement here, as
it i* rimoet a repetition of thW act of Miremon and
Marqnerz in 1860, in breaking into the English Lega
tion and taking therefrom tbe money of the English
bondholders.
Where is all this to end, and where will matters stand
when once the French army is withdrawn ?.
An officer of the French Expeditionary Corps, on
bring asked, after the occurrence at the foregoing
neMb, whet they ceme here toe, replied:. WTe spend a

were instructed by President Lincoln to sell certain
buds in the Parishes of St. Helena and St. Lnke at
tax rates, and the time for redemption having expired,
and the said lands having been sold in parcels of
twenty acres, and portions set off for school-farms,
being thirty-eight thousand acres, more or leas; there
fore, said sales are hereby confirmed and established,

End, and also the city of Port Boyri, on St. Helena
Island, and the town of Beaufort, shall be disposed of
in tots of twenty acres, at one dollar and fifty centa
per acre to such persons only as have acquired land
under Cen. Sherman’s Field Order, and the remain
der, if any, to snch as have acquired lands under the
same order, aud of which they have been dispossessed
by the restoration of said lands to former owners.
But tbe said lands, when sold, shall not be alienated
by their purchasers withiif six years from the psssage
of this act.
The third section gives the Commissioner power to
seize, hold, use, lease or sell all building* tenements
and lands formerly owned by or Chdmdir as the pro
perty of, or held in trust for the so-called Confederate
States, aud to use tbe proceeds-or appropriate the
same for the education of the freedmen; aad when the
Bureau is withdrawn. States which have made provi
sion for the education of their citizens without dis
tinction of color, Bhall receive the balance, if any re
maining unexpended, to be distributed among said
States for educational purposes in proportion to popu
lation.
The fourth section provides that tbe school farms,
subject to any leases, shall be sold at public auction
on or before Jan. 1, 1867, for not less than $10 per
acre, and tbe lots in the city of Port Boyal and ther
lots and houses m the town of Beaufort snail be sold
in like manner, and the proceeds invested to United
Btates bonds, the interest of which is to be appro
priated by the Commissioner to the support of schools,
without distinction of color and race, on the islands
in the parishes of St. Helena and SL Luke.
Tbe fifth section authorizes and requires the Assis
tant Commissioners of South Carolina and Georgia to
determine the validity of all titles to arid lands
claimed under Gen. Sherman’s special field order, and
to give each person having a valid claim, or to the
heirs of such person; a warrant for twenty acres of
land for six years, which land may be purchased by
saiit persons within, that time fer one dollar and fifty
cents per acre, and on paying said sum shall be enti
tled toa certificate of Brie of said land, but said war
rant shall not be valid for more than two years after
the issue of the same.
The sixth section provides that after the said lands
have been disposed of as hereinbefore provided, the
President shall have ppwer to restore to former own
ers the lands now occupied under Gen: Sherman’s
order, except such as may have been sold fer taxes,
and not till after the present year's crops have been
gathered, nor until a fair compensation has been made
to the present occupants for improvements or settle
ments, and after due notice being given by tbe Assis
tant Commissioners of the Bureau.
The seventh section authorizes and requires the di
rect Tax Commissioners for Sonth Carotins, at the
earliest day practicable, to survey the said lands into
lots of twenty ac*es, convenient in form, properly laid
out with metes and bounds, with an avenge of fertility
and wood laud;'the expenses of said surveys to be •
mid from the proceeds of sales, or if sooner required*,
out of other moneys received by the Tax Commis-.
s oner for the sales of lands for taxes. -■) l

Wayne, colored, has been arrested and committed to

Tlie crime was lately disclosed by a hoy! the grand
