This is one of the methods adopted by the latter named, to advertise himself. Akormnn. It is said in political circles that the Pres ident has informed*Attorney-General Aker man that his retirement from the Cabinet is earnestly desired. The necessity for Amos’ retirement is said to be entirely professional, and attributed to his want of familiarity with the intricacies of law. Butler vs. Porter. In the House recently, during a spiritel debate, the lion. Benjamin Butler used the following language in referring to Admiral Porter. Both are intense "Radicals : Admiral Porter’s services during the War would live for some time; he thought they would he indestructible. All along the Mississippi were guns captured by the army and marked by Porter—“ Taken by the navy under the. command of D. D. Porter,” and so long as white paint remain ed, so long would the memory of Porter’s deeds remain in the minds of those who be lieved hirh, hut who were few. [Laughter.] Crop of 1870. The monthly report of the Department of Agricul'uro, of the United States, in treat ing of the condition of the crops, Says : “The estimates of corn product for the past few years have rarely indicated a very near approach to a full crop. From a prelimin ary calculation upon local returns from 749 counties, the total product of the year is made to exceed 1,000,000,000 bushels. This would give about twenty-eight bushels an acre this year, upon the assumed acre age of 39,000,000 acres, against twenty three and a half bushels upon a little more than 37,000,000 acres last year. The re turns indicated a larger product of sorghum than last year. The tobacco crop is Com paratively large, and the estimate of the year will aggregate at least 300,000,000 lbs. Thf» hay crop is less in quantity than that of 1869 by about 15 per cent; the estimate, however, will go above 20,000,000 tons, which is little more than the product of 1859. The product of the year in potatoes is little more than four-fifths ot the preced ing year.” That Religions Amendment. The New York Independent does’ntbelieve in putting God’s name into the constitution, and pertinently says: “God is not to be praised in joint resolutions or worshipped in constitutional amendments. We may de serve ourselves into the belief that a consti tutional amendment is an acceptable tribute to the Father. But God is not a ‘proud bailielike bodie, r to be imposed upon by empty flatteiy of this sort. A nation means so many individual men, women, and chil dren, with every one of whom he keeps open a personal account. All the constitu tional amendments in the world could not have made the sins of Sodom less obnoxious. We cannot see that such an amendment could make any soul better. When bills of lading had long and pious preambles in re* gard to the protection of God, shippers did not' swear any less, ship owners were not more pious, and shippers were none the less rascally. It is quite probable tTvat when the sanctimonious underwriters used pious phrases they overcharged their patrons, who in turn were just as able to fall into arson or any other such crime as they are to-day,, A candid review of the history of religious phrases does not impress us with their sactifying Influences.” Mr. Lincoln on Carpet-Baggers. Apropos of the threatened admission of Gen. carpet-bagger Abbot, of North Caro lina to the seat in the U. S. Senate to which Gov. Vance is clearly entitled, and in opposition to the present policy of the Republican party in its dealings with the South, also to preserve it on record, we present below the opinion of “the late lamented” Abraham Lincoln on 'carpet baggers : “Executive Mansion, November 21, 1862. —Dear Sir: Dr. Kennedy, bearer of this, has some apprehension that federal officers, not citizens of Louisana, may be set up as can didates for Congress in that state. In my view, there could be no possible object in such an election. We do not particularly need members of Congress from these states to enable us to get along with legislation here. What we do want is the conclusive evidence that respectable citizens of Louis iana are willing to be members of Congress, and to swear to support the Constitution, and that other respectable citizens there are willing to vote for them, and send them. To send a parcel of Northern men here as representatives, elected, as would be under stood (and perhaps really so,) at the point of the bayonet, would bo disgraceful and outrageous ; and were Ia member of Con gress here, I would cast my vote against admitting anv such man to a seat. Your 8, very truly, A. Lincoln. “Hon. G. F, Sbcpley.” Literary • Colonel John Esten General Lee,” which will soqp appear from the press of D. Appleton & Co«*#e notveerely a brief and bald sketch of the but a full and elaborate biography, ingan arcunitebiitdramaticand pictnre history of those military transactions in Virginia of which he was the distinguished leader. This “Life of %ot written, as it is asserted in some without full authority and sanction. commenced five years ago, in 1866, Colonel Cooke then informed General Lee of his purpose. The General, in reply, assured him that the work terfere with any that he might i^. contemplation ; he bad not writtqp a lh|£ of any work as yet, and might Jb so, but, should he write a history of the dffra paigns of the Army of Northern Virginia, the proposed work would be assistance than a hinderance.” Cooke, in his letter, has offered to>3i «cbq tinue the work, if not agreeable to General Lee, this reply is an obvious sanction of the author’s design. It mav be safely assumed that no biography of General Lee more comprehensive or trustworthy than that of Colonel Cooke’s will appear. It is prepared by a man of large literary experience, of fine genius, who served in the Virginia campaigns, and saw much of what he de scribes ; and General Lee’s sanction of his design arose from his knowledge of Colonel Cooke’s peculiar fitness for his task. The General has departed this life without exe cuting his at one time contemplated task ; and Colonel Cooke’s biography must, in a certain sense, fill the place, as regards the history of the Virginia campaigns, that Lee’s own history would have done, had he lived to write it. Free Labor Produetion. In the recent message of Governor Al corn to the Legislature of Mississippi, the affairs of that State are discussed in the most detailed manner. The message is an unusually voluminous paper, and forms, with its vast array of figures, a pamphlet of nearly seventy pages. In the Savannah Republican we find a sketch of the views ot the message upon agricultural topics. The Republican con tends that the favorite theory of the old Ab olitionists—that free labor is necessarily more productive than slave labor, has not been vindicated by experience. In Missis sippi, at all events, according to the statis tics of Gov. Alcorn’s message, the experi ment of free negro lahor is a palpable failure. ' Gov. Alcorn presents us with a compara tive table that gives much desired informa tion, the products of 1860 and 1870 being placed in separate columns, and labor remaining without material change. For the comparison six counties are taken, viz: Madison, Holmes, Rankin, Neshoba, Jones, and Lauderdale, extending through the centre of the State from the Mississippi river to the Alabama line, and representing, as the Governor tells us, one eight or one ninth of the population and wealth of the State.” The following is the result: In cotton production there has been a falling off since 1860 of sixty-three per cent. Indian corn, the «reat bread source, shows a reauction in ten years ot sixty-jive per cent. Swine, the source of meat, has fallen off sixty-Jive per cent. In other articles of subsistence the decline is equally great, if not greater: thus, in wheat we have a decline of eighty per cent.; rye, ninety-eight per cent. ; rice, sixty per cent. ; peas and beans, eightv-nine per cent.' Irish potatoes, eighty-three per cent.; sweet potatoes, sixty-four per cent.; orchard products, eighty-two per cent. Wool has fallen off seventy-six per cent. ; and home manufactures sixty-two per cent. This is an exhibit, from a Radical source, of some of the early fruits of emancipation. These were hardly the results for which the apostles of Anti-Slavery worked during the thirty year* preceding the war. Mr. Greeley would hardly believe these figures truthful ; nevertheless they are worthy of his careful attention, and of at least two or three col umns of editorial discussion in the columns of the Tribune. The journal from which we have quoted, makes the very pertinent observation that this present test of the comparative capaci ties of free and slave labor is made with a generation of blacks who have been habitu ated to work from their childhood, and are to be expected, from the force of habit, to run in the same groove for the remainder of their lives. If so lamentable a falling off is experienced in the present generation, what will it not be in the generations to follow ? A modicum of schooling and the rest of life idleness and vagabondism is the order of the young blacks of the present day ; a charming pupilage for their respon sibilities in the future as supporters of the national wealth l This is a sad state of things for the South, and still sadder for the negro as a race. It foreshadows and' of two things—and early revolution in the laboring population, or the entire prostration of field industry in the planting States. To those who know the people of the South, it is wholly unnec essary for us to say which of these events lies concealed in the womb of time.—Car olina Weekly Star. Grant’s German Message. The New York Sun (ever speaking evil of dignities) thus makes fun of Grant’s Ger man message to Congress, covering a plea for an advance of our Berlin Minister’s sal ary : A MESSAGE TO CONGRKBS. Whereas, tie Kaiser von Koenig de Pruss Is lees of a cuss and more of a fuss Than any remarkable ally of us, And highly successful in his late muss ; And whereas, the comity of events Compels us to straddle the demagogue's fenop, And get the Dutch vote on any pretence ; And whereas, Rufe Ingalls and Horace le jeune Insist that my policy is out of tune ; Aqd whereas, moreover, it seems to me That the measure of Honor is salary ; I recommend that our man at Berlin From this time forward begin to begin To get as much money as lets him carry An equal high head with the roosters at Paris 1 I think this imperative policy— Money is always important to me ; And, as you preceive from the length of this, The theme is unusually grave for Ultss. Synopsis of Telegraphic Xcw». DOMESTIC. Washington, Febraary 17.—The House is on the military appropriation bill, and the Democrats are attacking the President f.»r using the military in elections. St.‘ Louis, Feb. 17. —The Impeachment Resolutions passed the Arkansas House. The Democrat’s special says Clayton will not yield. It is rumored that Lieut.-Governor John son will issue a proclamation calling on the ,people to stand by him. Washington, Feb. 17.—Articles of im peachment have been presented in the Ar kansas House against Governor Clayton. Washington, February 18.—The case of Blyth and Kmdard against the United States, from Kentucky, will soon be argued before the Supreme Coart. The question is whether the second section of the thir teenth amendment, authorizes appropriate legislation by Congress to come into effect. The first section ot the amendment vested Congress with the constitutional power to enact the civil rights bill of April 1866. i The case of Knox against Lee, from Texas, will be argued in the Supreme Court ,early next w r eek. It involves the confisca tion of the property under the Confederate Government, and the legal tender question A curious question is growing out of a col lision in San Francisco harbor as to whether a foreign Prince can sue in the Supreme Court. The House then adjourned. Senate. —Fenton presented a petition from leading New York merchants, asking tor the corrections of abuses in Customs regulations. c The Appropriation bill was resumed. An amendment to strike from the Legis lative, Executive and Judiciary Act, aclause inserted Tast year by Senator Drake, was proposed, which prohibited as evidence in the Court of Claims, certain Presidential pardons. The amendment authorizes as evidence any pardon or amnesty granted before the suppression of the rebellion, under the proclamation ot President Lin coln. This amendment is not to apply to suits in the Court of Cla ms, arising under the act of March 6th, :o provide for the collection of abandoned property and pre venting frauds in the insurrectionary dis tricts. The claims opened by this aaiend ment are about $10,000,000. The amend ment does not help persons pardoned by President Johnson, after April, 1805. The amendment was rejected, 19 to 32. Trumbull reviewed a portion of the amendment repeating the proviso of a law which makes a pardon evidence of the guilt of the party accepting it, Conkhn argued that a pardon was not a virtual confession of guilt. Trumbull’s amendment, that a pardon should not exclude the pardoned party from a court of claims, was carried by the casting vote of the Vice-President. The debate was quite bitter, and showed no disr. position to give Southern claimants gener* ally more generous considerations than heretofore. Washington, Feb. 18.—In the Senate to day, Howard offered the following:" Resolved, That in the present disturbed relations of the Government of the United States and Great Britain, we regard the re cent appointment of the High Commission for discussing the subjects of tfhe difference between them as a highly auspicious event, furnishing well-grounded hope of a speedy, honorable and mutually advantageous set tlement of all important matters of contro versy, and of cordial amity and good feeling between the people of the two countries. That we deem it of high interest to those ends that the Commission should take into consideration the fact that the possession by Great Britain of the Northern portion of the Continent of North America, stretching from the Northern boundary of the United States to the Frozen Ocean, as in its very nature an obstacle to the permanent harmo ny of the two governments, and a standing incitement to persons anxious to involve them in war, and we, therefore, earnestly recommend that the Commission may, in any settlement suggested by them, embrace the cession to the Government of the United States of so much at least of such of the Britsh Possessions as lie tn the west of Hudson Bay, and the main channels con necting it with the Arctic Ocean and outlet of Lake Superior, with the right to free nav igation through the navigable waters to the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Washington, February 20.—The Irish exiles have arrived and are receiving great attention. The Departments closed at 12. Farmington vs. Sanders, from Tennessee, involving the constitutionality of the cotton tax, the court below affirmed its constitu tionality, and Justice Nelson, in the Su preme Court to-day, announced the affirm ance of that judgment by a divided court. In the Senate, Conkling, from the Judi ciary committee, reported favorably on the bill which passed the House, to preserve purity of elections, otherwise known as supplemental to the act for the enforcement of the 15th amendment. lie gave notice that he would press it upon the Senate for its early action. Galveston, February 2\—Gen. Magru der had been unwell for a week previous, but his illness was not considered dangerous till within two days of his decease. About 8 o’clock Friday night, he became delirious, and his muttering unintelligible. He lay with the band of death on him*till 3 o’clock in the morning. At that hour a gentleman from New York, who was stopping at the hotel, walking past Magruder’s room, heard a noise within, and entering the apartment, he found Magruder in a sort of convulsion. A servant was immediately dispatched for a physician. Before his return, the pro prietor ascended to the chamber, and found him breathing heavily and in an uncon scious condition. Telling: a boy to remain bat not disturb the patient, he decended the stairs. On returning, he found the General without pulse ; he listened for breathing, there was none; placed his hand on his heart, it was still forever. He was laid in a plain black suit. His body having been laid in a coffin, be was followed by a string of carriages to the Episcopal Church, where the usual death services were read by the minister. The distinguished dead was then escorted to the Episcopal Cemetery. The last conver sation the General is known to have had was the Friday previous to his death, to an employee of "the hotel. After sending a message ft> a distant relative, resident in the city, the General said in reply to a question, “I don’t think I am long for this world.” There was no display abont the funeral obsequies. Ricitmovd, Feb. 20.—T0-day the House, after a long fight and much fillibusterin*, which lasted till after night, passed the bill incorporating the Washington and Rich mond Railway Company, thus giving the Pennsylvania Central Company connection with the Southern roads, by a vote of GO to 43, FOREIGN. London, Feb. 18.—The debate in the House is general. The prevailing tone iaf that England's weak hesitancy had lost her respect "with belligerents, and invited an early war for her existence. Defensive works are proposed by the British Secretary of War which will cost 50.000,000, and new artillery at a cost of 10,000,900 sterling.- London, Feb. 20.—1n the House of Com mons to-day. Gladstone, in reply to inquiry, denied that Her Majesty’s Government had received any proposals for the purchase of the British dominions in North America. A Stange Story About Gen. Grant—lWi Doubtless Untrue. W A few day3 after the capti re of Fort Sumter, in April, 1861, when # he voice of the whole country was for war, we had a conversation with a gentleman who was an officer in the Mexicau war, and who besides, in Ohio, has obtained eminence as a civilian, that we have often thought ot since. Said he to us : “I saw to* day an old comrade of mine in Mexico, a West Pointer, but who resigned his position in the army a few years ago. I asked him why he was not in uniform, and expressed my suprise that he was not already a col mel or general of vol unteers. llis reply was : “1 think you and I have had fighting enough. What I want in this war is a place by which I can make some money.’ ” He sought to get that place here. He made au efiort to be selecs ted by the Government as a buyer of horses, but failed. lie next endeavored to borrow a few hundred dollars of a military friend of ours, then and now in the regular army, for the purpose entering into a business where he would get army patronage. Be ing refused, he applied, as we understand, to Gen. Burns for a position in the Commis sary Department in this city, but failed also in getting it. There being nothing here to suit him, he wended bis way back to Illinois, and became a sort of secretary to Gov. Yates, and, everything else being unsuccessful, he chose at last to go into the army. But he did not want to go where there was fighting at all. It was money he was after, and money he has made as General and President of the United States. It he had obtained the position he asked for, as a buyer of horses, the country would have had a competent if not an honest man in that place, and we should not now have a bad President, who makes the filling of his purse his principal business. The New York Cotton Exchange. Since its organization in September last, the New York Cotton Exchange has been so well managed as to remove all doubts of its success, and has met the hearty endorse ment of the entire trade. In fact, the membership has increased with so much rapidity that the present accommodations are found to be entirely inadequate for the transaction of business, and it is now pro posed to seek more roomy quarters. Sev eral locations have been proposed as likely to be leased on easy terms, but the mem bers, with a feeling of independence and full confidence in their stability, are in clined to purchase property outright. At a full meeting yesterday a large and com modious building on Hanover Square was offered at a comparatively low figure, and the members will decide to-day by ballot whether the purchase be made or not. If the property is secured the necessary al terations will commence at once, and the premises occupied as early in the spring as practicable.— N. Y. Daily Bulletin. Arc nfatlonal Bank Notes Legal- Tender. Washington, February 10.—Treasurer Spinner to-day wrote a letter to a party in New York concerning the question whether notes of national banks are legal tender. He concludes as follows: * As vou allude to the principle involved, it may be proper for me say that, to make national bank notes a legal tender for all payments, would eventually exempt the banks from redeeming them, since they would be available for all purposes, except the reserves of the banks as the notes of the United States in which they are redeem able. The whole national bank circulation of the country would thus become a perma nent loan, without interest, from the people to the banks, and would operate as a tax upon the people in favor of the banks to just the amount of the interest on the bank notes in circulation. Such a policy is in defensible on every ground of principle or expediency, and the impropriety of its adopt ion will scarcaly admit of discussion. Andy Johnson’s Proclamation of Am nesty. The Nashville Union and American, an exceedingly able paper, calls attention to the following well-taken point: Iu the debate in the Senate on the 13th iost., on the proposition to admit Senator Miller, of Georgia, Mr. Carpenter, (Radical) of Wisconsin, one of the clearest and ablest expounders of the Contitution in the Senate, declared that Dr. Miller’s “offense came within the range of the general pardon is sued by President Johnson in December, 1868, and had been entirely oblitered by that act.” This is the first indication that the Radicals are coming to a recognition of the power of the President as laid down in the Constitution. Mr. Carpenter sees that whenever this question comes before the Supreme CouTt of the United States, it will be decided in favor of the constitutionality and binding force of the proclamation of amnesty by President Johnson. An Interesting Case. The Supreme Court will shortly have be fore it a most interesting question, namely, the right to enforce by suit, notes given on the sale of slaves, prior to the emancipation. The States of Louisiana, Georgia and other Southern States, in their new Constitutions, have laws which declare that all contracts for the sale of persons are null, and shall not be enforced by the Courts of the States. The right of the Constitution to annul such contracts in the future is not disputed, but it is maintained that rights arising under old contracts before emancipation, are pro** tected against such confiscation by the clause of the Federal Constitution, which says : “No State shall pass any law infring ing the obligation of contracts.” Salaries. The following salaries for Judges of the Supreme Court and other United States courts have been agreed upon by the Senate Committee on Appropriations, to take effect after July 1, 1871: Cnief Justice, $10,500 per annum; Associate Judges, SIO,OOO each ; Circuit Court Judges, $7,500: Chief Justices of the Court of Claims and of the District of Columbia Court, $6,500 each ; Associate Justices of the Court of Claims and of the Supreme Court of the District SO,OOO each, and District Judges $5,000 each. "NV esters mercantile houses are gradually discharging the young men and employing girl clerks m their stead. 0«r Tonnage. Prow tire last official report of the ton nage division the Treasury Department we P compiffi a tabulary statement of the commerce of the twenty principal nations of the globe.

Capitulation of Paris. The terms of tho capitulation of Paris are as follows : First—The cession of the province of Alsace and that part of the province of Lorraine known as German Lorraine. Second A money indemnity of one thousand millions of frances. Third—Forty war ships from the French fleet. Fourth—One of the colonies now held by France. The object of the Armistice is said to be, to spare further bloodshed and give an opportunity to the French people through the Assembly Representatives at Bordeaux, to decide whether the war shall be contin ued, or peace accepted on the terms before stated. “When Thieves Pall Out, itc.” At the late Senatorial contest in Arkan -8 is, the Radical party broke to pieefi through its own rottenness, and each wing was forced to bid for Democratic support. Governor Clayton, outbid his rival, Senator McDonald, and as the result of that Clayton is elected to the United States Senate, and the McDonald faction, the larger of the two, is overthrown. Both McDonald and Clay ton, and the two factions they represent, are committed to re-enfranchisement; so that when another election takes place, the result of it will be the transfer of power to the hands of its much-abused people. General Grant espou-ed the McDonald cause and was beaten, as he was in Missouri. Rhode Island. Rhode Island adheres to her undemocrat ic and anti-American proscription of foreign-born citizens. She still requires them to own real estate to the amount of $134 as a condition of permitting them to vote —a condition not exacted of native born citizens—and this, notwithstanding she has ratified both the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution. Os course she suffers by losing the representation in Congress of the voters thus excluded, but that is by no means a sufficient penalty for such old fashioned exclusiveness. The grievance is of long standing and oughi to be removed. Foraging on the Enemy. The Washington correspondent of the Chronicle and Sentinel in his last letter, has this personal paragraph: P. M. B. Young, the Democratic U. S. Representative from the 7th District of Georgia, is devoted in his attentions to a beautiful daughter (Miss Winnie) of Sena tor Chandler, and thus he is scarcely off with the old love before he is on with the new. Having been defeated by a tar heel in the Atlanta court, he now transfers his affections, which like the star of empire, westward wings its flight. Tbe lady has much cattle and gold, and these things have their weight, even with a Congressman. Changed. Quite recently, at one of the hotels in New Orleans, the late Confederate General Longstreet, who for a paltry office joined the Radical party, was seated opposite -tv o Louisiana ladies whom he had formerly known, and in whose families he bad be n intimate. lie addressed them across the table, but received no recognition in return. Finally, be said, “you do not seem to re member me, lam Gen. Longstreet.” The elder of the ladies replied, “Sir, you have really changed so much since the war, that we do not recognize you.” The dinner was a hasty one by Longstreet. The Grand Jury of Chatham county re fuse to recommend the levying of a tax to raise SB,OOO for the District Court. The jury consider it a “fungus” upon the judi ciary, and cannot recommend any taxation upon an already overtaxed people for the support of this worthless pieceof machinery. They further recommend that tne Senators and Representatives from that county be requested to have the act establishing the same repealed. A Texas paper reports that since Sep tember last 119,000 people, with 1,664 wagons, have emigrated from Tennessee and Georgia to the Lone Star State. JN[EW y^DVERTISEMEiyTS. sement.
