Akerman Confirmed. WAsnntoToif, June 23.—Amos T. Akerman, of Georgia, was confirmed to-day as Attorney General, without objection or debate. Bevenne to-day $805,000. Customs for the week ending June 18th, three and a quarter millions: Wm. W. Bell, has been nominated as Collec tor of the Third Alississippi District. The Viceroy, of India, is at Bombay, and the President of the United States exchanged to-day congratulatory dispatches upon telegraphic con nection. The Georgia bill is expected this afternoon. The Judiciary Committee meets to-morrow to decide upon a report in the Woods case. The Cuba resolution of the Senate Commit tee on Foreign Affairs, proclaims belligerent rights to the Cabans, and reasserts the Monroe doctrine. Sumner made the report. It de mands immediate emancipation of slavery, and exacts other conditions from Spain. It is impossible to get the full import of the resolu tions as yet. They cause much excitement and some astonishment. One third of the navy is now afloat in the North Atlantic squadron, including three iron clads. Instructions will bo issued to Admiral Lee to protect American citizens to the fullest extent. The following is Sumner’s resolutions: Kosolved, That the people of the United States cannot hear with indifference the reports of barbarous outrages which reach them con stantly from the neighboring island, Cuba, and that they protest against the repetition of such acts, whether by the Spanish government or in surgents seeking independence; that they de nounce with indignation tho shooting of cap tives taken with armB in their hands as violation of the first principles of civilization and contra ry to the precedent happily established on the North American continent; and in the name of humanity they solemnly insist that these things shall cease. 2d. That the people of tho United States are pained to hear that pretension of property in man is still npheld in the island colonies of Spain lying in American waters; that human beings endowed by nature with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, are held as slaves and despoiled of all rights; that instead of terminating this pretension at once, the Spanish government propose to protract it for an indefinite period by an impossible system of gradual emancipation; that such a spectacle is justly offensive to all who love republican insti tutions, of which liberty and equality are cor- dinal principles, and especially to the people of the United States who now, in tho name of jus tice and for tho sake of good neighborhood, ask that slavery shall cease at once. 3d. That the United States being once col onies, achieved independence, as a nation, by successful resistance to European power, claim ing to govern them, and whoso example was followed afterwards by the Spanish colonies on the American continent, all of which achioved independence; likewise that already the same aspiration for independence begins to stir in the neighboring colonies of Great Britain, that these instances are in harmony with the spirit of the age, and teach that the day of European colonies in this hemisphere has passed; that impressed by this conviction the people of the United States regret to witness the extraordinary efforts of the Spanish government, by violence and blood, to maintain unnatural jurisdiction in Cuba, forbidden by tho great law of progress and hostile to the best interests of both parties. 4th. That the people of the United States de clare their sympathy with their fellow Ameri cans in Cuba struggling for independence, and, at the same time, their sympathies are with the people of Spain in their present efforts for lib eral institutions in their own ancient land; and they call on this people as the first stage in reform at home, and for the sake of peace to recognize at once the right of Cabans to govern themselves; that they make this ap peal with sincere good will to the people of Spain, and with the assistance of justice they do to others that which will redound to their own happiness, welfare and renown. 5th. That the President of the United States is charged with the duly of commnnicating these resolutions to the government of Spain. Washington, June 22.—Hoar's resignation takes effect upon the appointment and qualifica tion of his successor. Akerman is here, but the impression exists in high quarters that the formalities preceding qualification will require a month. The President has signed the department of justice bill, which greatly increases the patron age of the Attorney General. Hoar will con tinue to exercise the functions until Akerman qualifies, during which time the patronage of Justice will have been expended. Advices from London at the State Department report the incarceration of the American Consul at Leith, Scotl jnd, for misdemeanor in connec tion with tho Bolton masquerade.' 10 r. xr.—Revenue to-day nearly one million. Gen. Longstreet .is here. There will be a minority and majority report on Hatch's imprisonment in San Domingo. The majority report exonerates Gen. Babcock. Nominations: J. P. Boot, Kansas, Alinister to Chili; Stanislaus Gautier, Consul to Capo Hayti; Jos. C. Beunet, Kansas, Consul to Chi huahua: Chas. T. Gorman, Michigan, Alinister to Hague. The President has himself declared that he intends to remove Motley, Alinister to Englnnd, but it is untrue as has been stated that he in tends Fish to fake his place. The President has never so intimated to Fish, though the Intter could have the mission should he want it. The Secretary of tho Treasury has directed tho payment of interest due July first on and after Tuesday next, without discount. The Nationals beat the Olympics, winning the game to-day. Score: 23 to 14, leaving the Nationals champions of the South. The President has signed a bill paying loyal citizens for taking the census in I860. ADDBESS TO THE PEOPLE. The Democratic members and Senators have issued an address to the Legislatures elected this year. Nearly one-third of the United States Senate depends, for the character of next Congress, upon the Fall elections. They have strong reasons to hope for favorable results. They beg their Southern fellow-citizens not to risk loss by electing persons who cannot take the test oath, or who are under disabilities im posed by t^Le Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend ments. They will certainly be excluded. A foil Congressional Committee has been appoin ted. 12 p. m.—The following is a synopsis of the address: The undersigned beg leave to call your atten tion to the peculiar importance of the elections which take place this year, and respectfully to submit some suggestions for your consideration. By State Legislatures to beelected, nearly one- third of tho United States Senate will he cho sen, and nearly all the' members of the next House of Representatives are to be elected next fall. Upon the coming elections, then, depends the questions whether the Democratic Conserv ative element in the Senate shall bo increased, and whether that element shall have a majority in tho House of Representatives; and, as a consequence, whether we shall have a constitu tional, economical and honest Government, or j a continuance of a revolutionary, extravagant | and wasteful parlizan rule; whether we shnii ' have general, uniform, just and constitutional legislation, with reasonable taxation and frugal expenditure, or unconstitutional, partial and unjust class legislation, with oppressive and unequal taxation and wasteful expenditure. That we have strong reasons to hope for a favor able result, ia plainly apparent. The elections already held clearly show that the tide of re form has set in with a power that cannot be re sisted, if no blunders be •committed by the friends of reform. If they do their duty and act wisely; if they throw off all opposition and act with vigor and steadfastness, there is every reason to hope that their efforts will bo rewarded by success. Let there be no dissen sions about minor matters. No time should be lost in tho discussion of dead issues, no manifestation of narrow or pro scriptive feeling, no sacrifice of the cause to gratify personal ambition or resentment, and let the best men be chosen for candidates, and wo may hope to see our country redeemed from misrule. And in this connection we beg leave to say a word to our fellow-citizens of the Southern States. Do not risk the loss of Senators and Representatives by electing men who cannot take the test oath, or who are under the disbil- ity imposed by the Fifteenth Amendment. "What ever may be said of tho validity of that amend ment or of the test oath act, you may rest as sured that Senators elected by the votes of mem bers of Legislatures who are held by tho Radi cals to be thus disqualified will not bo permitted to take their seats, and that members of the House of Representatives thus disqualified will also be excluded. It is the plainest dictates of wisdom not to incur any such risks. Wc hope soon to see the time when all disabilaties will be removed, but in the meantime do not, we entreat yon lose the opportunity to strengthen tho Democratio and Conservative force in Con- gress and the possibility, nay, probability of ob taining a majority In the next House of Repre sentatives by putting it in the power of our ad versaries to overthrow or disregard yonr elec tions.

Cornell, Assistant Treasurer at Washington; A. R. French, Post master, at Demopolis, Ala. The Conferenco Committee on the currency was in session ail day. No positive result was reached, though tho South and West will have increased banking facilitiesto the extent of $45,- 000,000 of three per cent certificates and $25,- 000,000 taken from the East Gold banks will probably be authorized “ ad libitum.” Heaton, member of Congress from North Carolina, is dead. Four of the seven members of the Senate Se lect Committee, on a subject somewhat involv ing the San Domingo treaty, made a report to day, in which they exonerate General Babcock, the special agent sent to that Republic by the President, from the charge of Davis Hatch, an American citizen, that Babcock did not interfere for his release from prison, where he was placed by the Baez Government; bnt rather counseled it, because of the fear that he would, if at lib erty, oppose the making of that treaty for the annexing of San Domingo to this country. The Committee declare that there is nothing to show there was anything wrong, or which in the least degree attaints the treaty. They also hold that Hatch joinedthe revolutionists against tho defacto government, and in the punishment awarded, there is no redress as asked for by this government, because a sojourner in a foreign country is amenable to the laws which ho has violated. Tho minority of the Committee— three members—do not agree with the majority on a single point, holding that Babcock had been indifferent to Hatch, and connived at, if he did not advise, his continued imprisonment; that it is a disgrace that no effort was made to protect an American citizen, and they deny the insinuation of tho majority, that the investiga tion on the memorial of Hatch, asking for in demnity of the San Domingo Government was proposed for the purpose of injuring or defeat ing the treaty. Although they say Hatch has not properly presented his bill of damages, he is entitled to reparation for injuries suffered from imprisonment Now that the reports have been made, the Senate will, on Monday, resume the consideration of the treaty. Congressional. Washington, June 23, noon.—The Senate last night considered .the Southern Railroad bill. An amendment for a land grant to the Deca tur, Aberdeen and Vicksburg Railroad was re jected by 20 yeas to 25 nays. Mr. Buckingham moved an amendment strik ing out tho provisions for a speedy extinguis h ment by tho Government of Indian land titles in the Indian territory, which, was adopted. Several Senators remarked that there were no Indian reservations along the proposed line. Various amendments were submitted and sub sequently withdrawn; among them, one by Morrell, of Vermont, authorizing railroads to be bnilt anywhere in any State, by anybody, and granting for that purpose all lands not al ready taken by railroads. [Laughter.] Casserly said tho land grant fever in the Sen ate amounted to delirium. On motion of Air. Harlan, the 25th section of the bill was stricken out, by a vote of 20 to 19. On motion of Mr. Howard, the names of four additional incorporators were inserted. Air. Nye moved to substitute, in lieu of tho incorporators in the bill, the name of John 0. Fremont and a largo number of others. He advocated the amendment as reconciling cer tain differences connected with the work. Air. Howard thought that, as the President of the Memphis & El Paso Railroad, Fremont had ss much to do as he could attend to. He op posed any revision of the corporators. He crit icized the conduct of Gen. Fremont whilst in France in regard to his management of the affairs of the proposed Memphis & El Paso Railroad. Air. Trumbull defended Gen. Fremont. Senator Howard then obtained the floor and held it until midnight, when the bill was made the order of business for Thursday evening. The Senate then adjourned. Washington, Juno 23.—House.—Tho entire morning was occupied in the discussion of the apportionment bill as amended by the Senate. Tho previous question was moved, but failed of a second, when a number of amendments were introduced. In the House, after a Ions: debate the appor tionment bill was referred to the judiciary com mittee by a vote of 98 to 95. This action is re garded as equivalent to its defeat this session, as the jndiciary committee stands number ten on the committees to be called, and it is not likely it will be reached. The vote was sec tional—not party. The Southern and Western members opposing its reference with some few exceptions. Tho Georgia bill, heretofore telegraphed, was reported. Mr. Dawes offered a substitute, in effect, recognizing the fact that as Georgia had ratified the several amendments to the Consti tution she was entitled to representation, and was authorized to organize the militia for her defence. Other amendments were offered, when Mr. Farnsworth object«d, saying Mr. Butier had no right to accept amendments.— When Butler, the chairman, resigned the floor for that or any person, he (Farnsworth) was en titled to it and was instracted by the minority of the committee to report the amendment.— Farnsworth andBeck accused Batler of bad faith, in partially only obeying the majority of the committee. It was agreed that the previous question be seconded at 2 o’clock to-morrow. Senate.—10, p. ai.—Air. Casserly objected to the immediate consideration of Sumner’s Ca ban resolution. Sumner replied that they had been carefully considered in the Committee. Howard thought they might as well vote on the question now. Casserly persisted in his objection and the matter goes ever under the rules. The Chinese labor bill was postponed on ac count of the illness of Casserly, who desires to amend it. In the course of the debate the dis* position to interfere with Chinese contracts was qnite strong. Tho tax bill was resumed. No action—ad journed. The Senate is considering the Southern Pa cific bill to-night. The Fremont interest is quite hopefuL Washington, June 24.—The Senate after a long debate adopted Nje's amendment, placing General Fremont’s name at the head of tho in corporations of the Paoifio railroad by a vote of 31 to C. The question of gauge was discussed to adjournment. Tlio total number of incorpo ration is now 11C. Washington.—The Senate is discussing Cuba. The Houso bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to license pleasure yachts, passed. Georgia was resumed in the House. Air. Schofield argued that the term of the legislature commenced with the life of the State. If the State was admitted in 1SG8, the term com menced then. If tho State requires this bill for admission tho Legislative term commences with its passage. Farnsworth supported his amendment which, in effect electa a now Legislature this fall, con tending that when the Legislators commenced, work their term of office commenced. He declared tho objeot of Butler’s bill was to illegally extend the Legislature’s term to 1872, and the Gonemor’s term to 1874, thus giving that man Bullock four years more of oppression and plunder. Bingham followed and declared thus to give Bullock and the legislature two additional years violated the pledge of Congress, violated tho Constitution of the United States, violated the Constitution of Georgia, and violated the de clared creed of the Republican party. Garfield is addressing the House in favor of some measure securing elections next fall. 10 p. m.—Senate.—A bill making the 'fourth of July, Christmas, new years’ and thanksgiving days legal holidays in the District of Columbia, was passed, and goes to the President. The bill declaring the bridge between Phila delphia and Camden a post road, was passed. Messrs. Fowler-and Thurman spoke against Sumner. Mr. Thurman said the resolutions were very grandiloquent, bnt what good would this piece of rhetorio do the Cubans ? He was in favor of saying to Spain, and in the sim plest woril3 in which it can be expressed, “That you not only ought to recognize the independence of Cuba but you must do it.” He would now move to strike out tho second and third sections of the resolutions. Casserly also spoke against the resolutions, but was in terrupted by the regular order, tax bill, when the income tax was strikeu out—vote 34 to 23. After which the bill was made the special order for Monday. A new apportionment bill was in troduced. Senate is in session to-night. House.—After a prolonged discussion and decided negative vote upon mixed schools, the Georgia bill passed in the following shape and goe3 to the Senate: Section 1. Be it enacted, That the State of Georgia having complied with the reconstruc tion acts and the fourteenth and fifteenth arti cles of amendment to the Constitution of the United States having been ratified in good faith, by a legal legislature of said State, it is hereby declared that the State of Georgia is en titled to representation in the Congress of the United States, and nothing in this act contained shall be construed to deprive the people of Georgia of tho right to an election for members of tho General Assembly of said State as pro vided for in the Constitution of said State. Section 2. That so much of the act entitled an act making appropriations for the support of the army for the year ending, June 30th, 1868, and for other purposes, approved Alarch 2d, 18G7, as prohibits the organization, arming or calling into service the militia forces in the States of Georgia, Alisassippi, Texas and Vir ginia, he and the same is hereby repealed. After other unimportant business the House adjourned. Washington, June 25, noon.—In the Senate, Mr. Abbott introduced a bill authorizing the consolidation of the Western and North Caro lina Railroad, the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad and the Spartanburg and Union Railroad, under the name of the Western North Carolina Extension Railway Company, for the purpose of constructing a railroad to Cleveland, Tennessee, and establishing a con tinuous railway communication between the At lantic, and ports of North Carolina and South Carolina and the Pacific Ocean, by way of the contemplated Southern trans-Continental Bail- road. The Judiciary Committee of the House re ported a resolution in the Woods and Porter case, directing that-Woods be imprisoned in the jail of the District of Columbia for three months. The report is to ba called up for ac tion next Thursday. In the Senate a majority report was submit ted recommending the indefinite postponement of Hatoh’s case. The Cuba resolutions are up. The Senate has adopted an amendment to the copyright law taking the jurisdiction from the district court and placing it at the Congression al Library. In the House, the conference report on the bankrupt bill was adopted. The report of the Judiciaiy Committee, with accompanying documents embracing a resolu tion imprisoning Woods, who assalted Portor, for three months, was recommitted and ordered to be printed, and made the special order for Thursday next. The House then went into committee on mis cellaneous appropriations. $10,000 was appro priated to repair the Custom House at Peters burg, Va. A conference committee was demanded on the copyright bill, when Heaton’s death was announced. The House adjourned. In the Senate, the Conference Committee’s report, amending the bankrupt bill, was concur red in. The Senate is in prolonged session on the naturalization laws. President on R. D.

New Oblkans, June 25.—Judge Dibble re quests the attention of the press to his testi mony published in the New Orleans papers of the 21st, containing his version of wh&t he stud of Judge Bradley’s decision in the slaughter house case. General News. Richmond, June 23.—A company of the 14th United States Artillery left here to-day for Fort McHenry. They are the last of the troops who were employed in carrying out reconstruction in Virginia, and the only troops now in the State is the regular garrison at Fortress Mon roe. General Bradley Johnson, counsel for Fat Woods, was telegrapeh from Washington to night, that the judioiary committee would re port to-morrow in the Woods case. General Johnson left at once for Washington. New Yobk, June 23.—The new cotton ex change will be organized on Friday. Tho elevated railroad machinery gave way and passengers along the line were dismounted, bnt none hurt. James Boyd, one of the largest Wall street underwriters of the Stock Exobange, was nnable to meet his liabilities. Ho is about one million short. Tho Exchange, under the rule, sold him out at Boyd’s gold of $900,000 being forced on the market, caused a decline.

Correspondence of the Xev> York Sun.j West Point, June 16.—The colored cadets we the absorbing topic of military and West Point circles. There is great uneasiness to . ra^he exact status of the two “boys of des tiny,” Michael Howard, of Mississippi, amd James W. Smith, of South Carolina- The two boys have passed the physical examina tion, and are drilling, messing and sleeping members of the Cadet Corps. Colonel Boyn ton says the exception taken to young Smith’s eyes is a common exception^ dozens of white boys being probated in the same manner an- maily. Correspondent — Ho they generally get through when probated ? - Colonel Boynton—I hardly ever knew one to foil. The boys are here, and from the Pro fessors they shall have justice. The other ca dets dislike it; but they cannot change it— The examinations are to be written oat, and the examining sheets numbered and not named. The judges of each boy’s paper most be impartial, for they do not know who an swers the questions, except by number. Such a number—say 40 or 25—is rejected, and the cadet stands or foil with the number. CADET PERSECUTION. Concerning the words of burning insult heaped upon those colored boys by the white cadets. I must tell the truth and let the re sponsibility foil where it must I have heard white cadets (of the older classes) say to these boys while on drill most fiendish things. - A cadet who graduated two days ago said in my hearing, and while the colored cadets were on drill, ‘You d—d niggers, why don’t you get away from here?” “You speckled cuss, you look like a dead nigger.” “Look at the 1” “We’llput the d—black rascals in tho river,” etc. These are common epi thets, and they are said directly to the face of the colored cadets. Burning with indignation, I said to a graduating cadet thus swearing, “Hushl don’t say those things right to the poor boys; don’t speak so lound.” The an swer was in a louder voice, “I want these stinking black rascals to hear me, and then get away from here.” At this the lighter of the colored cadets showed a SUPPRESSED EMOTION, hut stood like John Huss at the stake, It would hot do to strike down his assaulter. He could not break the oanks. Then, if one of these cadets should challenge every cadet who calls him to his face a “d— black-hearted nig ger b—,” they would have to fight two-thiras of the Academy. Not the professors, for they are as truly gentlemen as they are good offi cers. Not one spoken word of condemnation comes from them. If they have any internal burnings, they stoically suppress any outward expression. 1 will say here it is ail bosh about * the cadets treating these colored boys kindly. The indignities they heap upon them would be unbearable to any white boy of spirit Hundreds of times a day they are publicly called names to their faces, so mean that! blush to think of them. I dare not write them. As they passed out from these insulting re marks yesterday I followed them to their rooms. They showed no resentment Theirs was a Christian resignation. “We expect it, and wo shall try and stand it,” stud Cadet Smith. “But it was not so at the Hartford High School. There I was chosen orator, with THE NEXT HIGHEST HONOR, but here they pick on us and insult us in the meanest way." Here he showed me a cata logue of the Hartford High School, and there stood the name of James vV. Smith as ho grad uated with the next highest honor 1 THE PROBABILITIES. Wishing to know from personal knowledge whether the boys would pass the mental exam ination, I gave them a personal examination. I regret to say there is no possible chance of Michael Howard passing. He will have to study another year. In spelling he missed" such words as February and Wednesday. He could not divide 5 by 0, in decimals, nor parse a common sentence correctly. He will bilge. But not so with James W. Smith. He spelled eveiy word correctly. In arithmetic he ren dered quickly the most difficult examples. He reduced the following mixture in a moment: Divide 127 minus .06 plus 400 by .007 minus .000999. He is also proficient in grammar. James W. Smith will pass the examination successfully. ThE following gem from the 'writings of Dickens has of late been going the rounds of tho press. It was beautiful before; the world’s beravement of Thursday, the 2d day of June, makes it sadly appropriate now: “There is nothing—no, nothing—beautiful and good that dies and is forgotten. An in fant, a prattling child, dying in its cradle, will live again in tho better thoughts of those who loved it, and play its part, though its body he burned to ashes or buried in the deepest sea. There is not an angel added to the hosts of heaven but doe3 its blessed work on earth in those who loved it here. Dead 1 Oh, if the good deeds of human creatures could be traced to their source, how beautiful would even death appear! for how much charity, mercy and punned love would be seen to have their growth in dusty graves!” The Foreign Mail Service.—Postmaster- General Cresswell has accepted the offers re cently made by the agents of the Cunard and Inman lines of steamers to transport the mails from New York to Great Britain and Ireland for the amount of the sea postage on the-mails conveyed as full compensation for the service.

On Saturdays, by steamers of the North Ger man Lloyd Line, to Southampton and Bremen> and of the Inman Line, carrying the Irish mail only to Queenstown. The foregoing arrange ments include all the available service afforded by the existing lines of transatlantic steamers. The Great Earthquake at Oaxaca, Mexioou Particulars have come to hand, by mail, of the terrible earthquake which nearly rained tha entire city of Oaxaca, Mexico, on the 11th ult. About 11 o’clock p. ir., several hard shocks worn' felt, causing destruction of life and property all over the city. The motion was oscillating at first from south to north, then vertical or trembling. The shocks lasted about flfi.v-eiigbf seconds, and in force, destruction and severity, surpassed anything of the kind that haa -ever taken place in Mexico. The palaoo was s>!unoet destroyed, and it will require thousands of dol lars to'again make it suitable for oetrjpanoy. The whole of the corridors of tha ol8. convent of San Jnan de Dios fell, burying fo nr persona and wounding many more. Tha clock tower, which was only finished on the fifth of May, was shaken down, passing through the top of the building into the Supreme Court rooms, and through tho floors of these into the portal^ of the palace. The total number of persona killed is about one hundred, while it is impossi ble to ascertain tho number of the wounded. Tho shocks continued at intervals during Tho following days and terror reigned supreme throughout the city, the people remar.'ing in tho public squares, and outside of the city for fcar that greater shooks would ooine, and on acoount' of its dilapidated condition make a complete rain of tho entire city.
