PROPOSITION TO REPEAL THE NEU- S TRALITY LAWS. 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 1 in The radicals, in the House, by passing the reso lute n that he should be kept in prison, have placed an additional obstacle in the way of his discharge, s !,.•/ of those who came h(fr*i to obtain his discharge I. ft;. ■ -u rday, considering it as hopeless to pursue 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. Astounding; Frauds und their Outrage, ous loufromiu.

I was was very much grieved in read- Mr _- <’0odric!T Hotels. 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 ^ U8ed at hls dissretion.

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 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:.

The next section provides that other lands bid on by the United States, now in the hands of the Tax Com mission in St. Helena and St. Lnke’s parishes, except the school farms, the land necessary for military and naval purposes at Hilton Head, Pray Point and Land’s 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.

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 The bill a? amended, was ordered to be printed. ; d' Arhest of an Allfoed Mukdebeb. — Henry Wayne, colored, has been arrested and committed to jail at Rockville, Md.. charged with having murdered his father in Fairfax county, Va., last summer.
