Savannah News and Uerald. BY S. W. MASO SAMUEL W. MASON,.1.. Kciitoi W . T. THOMPSON, Associate Editoi. Official Paper of the City. IA8BEST CIRCULATION IN THE CITY AND COUNT TUESDAY, JUNE 1U. 1666. To oub Coustbt Friends—As much interest is It throughout the country in regard to the pros pects of the cotton and other crops we will be grate ful to our planting friends and others in the interior for information on that subject. Those whc. have op portunities for obtaining valuable information in regard to the growing crops, the working of the free- labor system, and kindred matters, of general interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. qpjg]£ REPORTED RELEASE OP MR* DAVIS. Our Northern exchanges are still indulging in much speculation upon the probable ac tion of the Government in the case of Mr. Davis. Since the positive refusal of Judge Underwood to entertain the application of the prisoner for a writ of habeas corpus upon the ground that he is yet in the military cus tody of the Government, many and strong influences have been brought to bear upon the President to release him on parole. The usually accurate Washington correspondent of the New York News asserts that the Presi dent has succumbed to the importunities of the distinguished counsel and others, and has actually written the order for the release of Mr. Davis, and that it will be immediately sent to General Miles, commanding at Fort ress Monroe. He states that the President announced his intention to do this to the Cabinet on the 8th inst. But he knew there was an effort being made to get the prisoner admitted to bail. He desired, therefore, to wait, and see what action the Judicial De partment of the Government would take in the matter. Inasmuch as the application has been refused, and the trial has been postponed till December, it is stated that Mr. Johnson is not willing to take the responsi bility to keep Mr. Davis in prison any longer. The same correspondent communicates the ondit, also, that it is no secret in Wash ington, to those who are behind the scenes, that there never has been any purpose on the part of the Radicals who control matters there, including Chief Justice Chase and At torney-General Speed, to have Mr. Davis tried in the civil courts. They know too well, he says, that the result of such a trial would be a full and honorable acquittal. Hence the various obstacles which have been thrown in the way of a trial for many months past, and hence the recent postponement of the trial, under the most flimsy pretexts, till October. ■ We have no doubt these latter views are correct, but we shall continue to be skeptical in regard to the parole until we see it an nounced that the prisoner has been actually discharged. THE CUNBTlTUTIOn AL AlfMNAKHVT. The constitutional amendment which has passed'both Houses of "Congress will be sent' to the Secretary of Btate, who will transmit copies of it to the various States for their rati fication. A vote of three-fourths of the States will then be necessary to secure its incorporation in the Constitution. We be lieve it is not required, as many suppose, -hat the amendment should be submitted to tBe President for his approval. He is not required to express officially any opinion upon its merits or demerits. It will follow, of course, that Mr. Seward will submit the amendment to all of the States, upon his own and the President’s hypothesis that the Southern States are still in the Union. Having submitted one amend ment to them all for ratification, and placed the fact upon record that they did vote, he could not now stultify himself by"asserting that they are not component parts of the Union, and entitled to speak upon the im portant measure. If it is submitted to all the States, as it no donbt will be, its fate will be sealed, for a three-fourths vote cannot be obtained. The Southern States will, in all probability, vote against it en masse, and Ken tucky and some of the Northern States will, no doubt, vote with them in the negative. And thus, it appears, will crumble to pieces the stricture raised with so much labor, and at such an expenditure of time by the Com mittee on Reconstruction. To make the disfranchisement of a portion of the Southern people depend upon the con sent of the communities whose citizens it is proposed to ostracise, is a stroke ot states manship that has no parallel in history. It is not unreasonable to suppose that the people of the South would prefer remaiuiotr as they are, without representation in Con-" gress, than to pass sentence of condemnation upon that portion of their fellow citizens who, on account of their qualifications aud moral worth, have been elevated to places of trust aud honor.

New York, June 17.—Imports during the past week exceeded seven million of dollars, of which there was four millions of sugar, tea and coffee. \ The excitement in the gold room has been intense for several daya past. Four or five of the heaviest stock speculators have lost fortunes in that time by throwing their money and influence against the riae. A London letter to a banking Arm here says the spe cial arrivals are an immense thing to American credit; the amount sent is everywhere admitted to have saved general bankruptcy in England. The letters to other banking houses are very much to the same effect. Harrisburg, June 17.—Petroleum kaslf^ Trusvilie and Venango Bank, at Franklin,have instituted actions against ex-Auditor General Isaac Henker, and through him against the State of Pennsylvania, for the recovery of a million and a quarter United States securities deposited with Auditor General as security for circu lating medium of these banks. The facts, as stated, are these: The firm of Culver, Penn & Co. were in the habit of taking notes of Venango aud Petroleum Banks for can cellation at Auditor General’s office, when they re ceived liko amount of bonds for that which they pre sented in notes. It is alleged that the parties thus re ceiving these bonds, instead of being sent to officer oj said bank, were taken to New York and hypothecated by Culver, Penn A Co. It is alleged that it was with out the authority of the banks, and that it was embez zlement for which the Auditor General is responsible. Warrants have been issued, and officers are now in Venango countv to arrest the parties implicated in the transaction. The condition or these banks arc now in course of official investigation.

I would sooner have lost my right arm than to have resented the in sult in the House; but you are not than now ” Mr. Grinnell again said, “It is all right 'I don’t want to hurt you.”_ General Rousseau then grasped him and pushed him against one of the columns. Mr. Grinnell ■neung some resistance, but of no avail. General Rousseau then said to him, “I don’t wish to hurt you—only to disgrace yon.” Grinnell then let go of Rousseau, saying again, “It’s all right’’ * n< l moving off General Rousseau remark ing, “Now, sir, I am done with you, you cowardly pol troon.” Mr. Grinnell afterwards made his way to a street car, wherein were seated his colleague, Mr. Price, Mr. Bergen, of New York ; Mr. Eliot of Massa chusetts ; Mr. Holmes, of New York/and others, and gave his version of the affair, stating that Hr. Rous seau approached him and demanded an apology for words that he (Mr. Grinnell) had used in the House on Monday. Mr. Grinnell replied that if there was to be an apology it must come fro~u Mr. Rousseau. Hr. Rousseau then caught Mr. Grinnell by the coat collar, and inflicted a cut across thk right jaw with a ratan cane, which was broken by the force of the blgar given. Mr. Grinnell exhibited the mark made by the cane, and also a piece of tbe same which be bad picked np, and which he said he proposed to take home as a pre sent to his wife. to obtain and hold for an indefinite period all the State and Federal offices.

The work on the Street Railroad having been suspended, it is proper that the facts of the case should be stated. We understand that the work was stopped by order of the local military authorities on the ground that the breaking up of the soil at this season of the year, was prejudicial to the health of the city. His Honor Mayor Anderson, regarding the sanitary regulations ot the city as clearly wii bin the jurisdiction of the municipal authorities, protested against the interference of the military In the matter. The case being represented to Brig. Gen. Tillson, commanding officer of the Stale of Georgia, that officer states._that he “does not feel authorized to interfere with the sanitary regulations of the City of Savanuab, but feels compelled to have tbe matter referred to the Mayor and Board of Health of the city.” His Honor the Mayor hu3 submitted the question involving the health of the city, to the decision of a com mittee of medical gentlemen, who will re port their opinion in regard to the propriety of making the necessary excavations at this season.

Some of the Confederate Congressmen from- the Southwest met with many incidents, some of them quite amusing, in their efforts to reach home after the fall of the Confederacy. In Columbus, Ga., Mr. Her bert, of Texas, anxious to escape a party of Federals that were said to be approaching, hurried to s livery stable to procure a horse, but was refused. In order to strengthen his application he then stated that he was a member of Congress; whereupon some Yankee soldiers who were in hearing but had not been noticed by him, told him be was the kind of a man they wanted, and took him into custody; and the officer of the squad went to report bis capture. At this time, an ac quaintance of Mr. Herbert's coming up, Mr. Her bert told him as a rich joke, laughing heartily the while, that he had been passing himself off os a member of Congress from Texas, and that these men thought they had somebody! Tbe iriend, catching the hint, entered into the joke, and repeated it with much merriment to the next arrival, who also seemed greatly amused that their old towns man had suddenly become a member oF Congress from Texas! Thinking they had. been “sold,” the soldiers told Mr. Herbert to go, which he lostjio time in doing. Several of the members passed themselves as paroled soldiers, and Were transported as such without detec tion, on Government steamers, to points near their homes. Of these were Mr. Perkins and Mr. Wigfall. The latter, in a disguise that precluded all suspicion, entered freely into conversatii in with the soldiers of the guard, and in the course of the conversation asked what they would do with old Wigfall if they were to catch him. ”0, we would haug him, certain,” was the reply. “Anti you would servo him right,” replied Wigfall. “If I should be with you I have uo doubt I should be pulling at the end of the rope myself."

A hypocritical demonstration was made in the House of Representatives at Washington a few days since in favor of the repeal of the neutrality law of 1818. It was a trick of the radicals to decoy the Fenians into their po litical ranks, and some of the latter have worked themselves into a high glee over the transparent deception. There is not the slightest probability of the repeal of that la.v, and it is not worth while for the Fenians to be deluding themselves with such chimerical expectations. The radicals who are making this movement have no real de sire that the repeal should be accomplished and are simply trying to make political cap ital at a very cheap rate. It has been cor rectly said that England would regard such legislation as equivalent to a declaration of war, and would not hesitate to accept the challenge promptly. None know this better than tbe unprincipled men in Congress who are now playing this very contemptible game to secure the favor of the Fenians by false professions of sympathy and a desire to re move the obstacles in their way. Their pro positions are intended for “jbuncombe” merely, and are not worthy of a moment’s consideration from the Brotherhood. called, holding offices either State or Federal, if they are competent and worthy. But we must demur to tbe division of the people of the se States into two classes, the one favored and the other outlawed, which will inevita bly Jay the foundation for hates aud fewds of which we fear this country would not witness the termination. There is uo belter mode than this to create and perpetuate feel mgs of disloyalty and irritation. The curse of test oaths, and all the rest of the appa ratus for ascertaining men’s loyalty, is that it breeds and perpetuates social hates. If it is the wish of the North to tranquilize the South and attach her people to the Govern ment, would not the adoption of a concilia tory policy, by dealing with all classes as free and equal citizens and not convicts, be more conducive to the end in view. With out an entire community of interest and feeling there never can be contentment in the South. Tbe surest way to keep up di visions and estrangements is to deprive, by unjust aud irritating discriminations any portion of the Southern people of those privileges and franchises which are the con- i Ttiad. stitutional inheritance of all native white citizens of the United States, and which are j inalienable.

HrriNY among the Colobed Troops.—The Cincinnati Commercial “learns from a private source that the negro-troeps stationed at Fort Smith, Arkansas, are mutinous because under orders to march to New Mexico. A consider able number of them are nnder arrest. At one time there was danger of a fight between the white and black troops. A number of the blacks swore they would rather die than go to New Mexico, and loaded their guns to resist the officers. Their courage failed them, however, when the test came, and they obeyed orders when directed to stack their arms. ” Insanity among the Blacks.—The Rich mond Whig remarks that insanity is becom ing fearfully prevalent among the freedmen. Within the month of May some fifteen or sixteen such unfortunates have been placed in confinement in that city, while in former times that number would haf&y have been found in five years. May 25th to December 25th, 1865. \Vo have not had the opportunity to road more than a few pages of this memoir, but enough, however, to satisfy us that it is ex ceedingly interesting, giving as it does de tails and incidents in his captivity, particulars concerning his health and habits, together with many conversations on topics of public interest. The book will be perused with in terest by Southern readers, as the author, although a Republican in politics, introduces no discussion of any political question con nected with the late conflict, but reports the distinguished prisoner as he was seen by him through a protracted and confidential medi cal attendance, and for whom it is known he manifested sincere personal sympathy and respect. Ondit of Mb. Toombs.—A lady, formerly a resident of New Orleans, has recently writ ten a letter to a female friend in Washington city, says the National Republican, detailing an account of an interview she had at Ha vana with Mr. Robert Toombs, ex-United States Senator from Georgia. She says Mr. Toombs still avows his intention of yet call ing the roll of his former slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill, and defiantly asserts that the invincible giant of Secession is not dead, but only taking a quiet snooze, in order to in vigorate himself for another, and, as Mr. T. hopes, a more successful attempt to over throw the Government of the United States. The reader can believe as much of this as he pleases, but in our opinion it sounds like a piece of arrant fiction, concocted for a pur pose unfriendly to the distinguished exile. Tho President, in response to a resolution of the Senate, transmitted a communication from the Acting Secretary of the Interior to that body respecting trans actions for the colonization, transportation, &c., of nogroes. The report was made on March 7th, 1864, showing that upwards of $38,000 had been expended, which was augmented by a supplemental report, to $37,300. The report further says that tho act of 1862 under which this was done, was subsequently re pealed, and no other measure of-a similar character haa since boon passed by Congress. In the House Mr. Stevens offered a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution, giving Congress power to lay au export duty on cotton. He refused to allow debate, and pressed the matter to a vote, hoping to get it passed by a two-thirds vote. The resolution was rejected—yeas 59; nays 67. Mr. Bingham offered ^ resolution, which was passed, requesting the President to transmit the Reconstruc tion Committee’s Constitutional amendment, lately adopted by Congress, to the several States for ratifica tion. Mr. Raymond, of N. Y., delivered a long speech on reconstruction, declaring himself a faithful and con sistent member of the Republican party, yet defend ing the President. The State Department is officially advised by the United States Consul at Havana that Leosunde, the new Captain General of Cuba, baa expressed himself determined to suppress the traffic in slavery. He notifies his subordinates—the Governors—that he will hold them to a strict account for any violation of his orders in this respect, which are from the Queen. The Senate Finance Committed reported a tax bill reducing the tax on cotton to two cents per pound. Central Rail Road Company SAVANNAH, GA.
