The Chicago Tribune, which is about the only Republican newspaper of large circulation and influence that fully endorses the course of the dis- unionists in Congress, has a letter from its Washington correspondent, which gives an interesting, but evidently too biased an inside view of the Senatori al caucus machinery. We quote : The great point of interest was the expected action of the Senate upon the House resolution for a committee of fifteen upon the rebellious States. Rumors as to probable defections of this and that Republican Senator had been thick for several days, and the decision of the Senatorial Union cau cus upon this subject, on yesterday, was looked for with much anxiety.— The caucus had two sittings, one in the morning and another in the after- Owing to the want of time no noon. conclusion was reached at the former ook and Job work, of all kinds, promptly and neatly executed AT THIS OFFICE.

The census of 1S60 gives the negro pop ulation of Florida at 63,000. Since that time it has increased, as ascertained from reports of the President’s Bureau, to about 100,000 Senator Sprague has started a move ment in the Senate that looks like an in crease of the tariffupon articles manufac tured in this country. The Western mem bers will generally oppose the further increase. General Carleton, commanding the dis trict of New Mexico, has been ordered to organize an expedition in that territory and Arizona against the hostile Apaches, who have been committing outrages in that section and interfering with the mining op erations. General Thomas, commanding the Mili tary Division of the Tenessee, has receiv ed orders to reduce the aggregate force of white troops in the Department of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, to seven thou sand men, regulars included. Mrs. Partington says that Ike, having become very much enameled of a siren of Boston, has led her to the menial altar. He didn’t appear the least decomposed. On the backs of his wedding cards were little cubehs with wings. the latter continued for several hours and was of an animated and interest ing chracter. The majority of the Senators present were opposed to the adoption of the resolution as it came from the House, but though objecting to its form, agreed with its spirit Only three Senators, Messrs. Doolittle Dixon and Cowan, advocated its en tire rejection. Of these, Mr. Doolit tle made the strongest opposition. All three showed unmistakably that they would not co-operate with the majority in the enactment of any measures bearing upon reconstruction not in strict accordance with the views of the President. In addition to the outright antagonism of the mentioned three Conservatives par excellence, there came perceptibly less marked, yet sufficient)' distinct variations of opinion, between Messrs. Wilson, Sum ner, Howard, Wade, and others of rad ical complexion, on the one side, and Messrs. Trumbull, Fessenden, Harris, and Morgan on the other. The former indicated an unwillingness to admit representatives from the rebel States without the strictest aDd most com prehensive guaranties of loyalty, rid dance of every vestige of slavery and rebellion, and justice to the freed peo ple, while the latter seemed disposed to concede more, hh4 enact less rigo rous conditions. However, this differ ence of shade of opinions was not de cided enough to warrant apprehensions of an eventful segregation of the Union majority into two wings, that might give the opposition the balance of power. On the contrary, such spirit of mutual forbearance and con cession was manifested by all present, with the three exceptions mentioned, that for the present, at least, all fears of a split may be banished. There was no irritation, no harshness of re mark, no severe clashing of arguments —nothing but the most amicable ex change of views. I am so specific in this statement, inasmuch as errnoeous reports of the character of the pro ceedings of the caucus have got abroad, that may produce unnecessary unea siness in the public mind. *6 country, without an exception, was Joed by the immense mortality of their ‘*®p in the last few years.

Some of the leading capitalists of the North, after visiting Richmond aod seeing the condition of affairs in Virginia, have begun the formation of Loan Associations, with sufficient capital to make liberal loans. Charles de Beriot, the only son of the celebrated violinist of that name by his liaison with Madame Malibran, recently died in Paris at the age of 31. He was an accomplished pianist, and but six months ago attended one of Mr. Bigelow’s soirees, where his genius was most highly appreci ated by all present. Slavery in Brazil.—There are three million slaves in this empire, and the Parliament is now occupied with con sideration of measures increasing their privileges, looking to emancipation as early as the interests of the country will allow. The Government had long been sincerely desirous of putting an end to the external slave trade, and its cruisers have effectually abolished it. The Brazilians are said to bo anx ious to see slavery extinguished from their shores. Spain, also, is prepar ing to abolish slavery in her West In dia possessions. ——— Dr. Franklin’s celebrated recipe for cheap sleigh riding, runs as follows : Sit in the hall in your night clothes, with both doors open; so that you can get a good draft; yotfr feet in a pail of ice water; drop the front door key down your back; hold an icicle in one hand and ring the tea bell with the other. He says yon can’t tell the difference with year eyes shut, and it is a great deal cheaper. Rather Unkind.—A writer in the Memphis Appeal reminds ladies who wear false hair, “that the hair they now have on may have not only come from a crimi nal, hut from a dirty head, perhaps from the head of one already damned.” That is rather an unpleasant view to take of the matter, to say the least of it. Geo. E. Hudson was arrested, in Wil mington, Del., on Monday, charged with forging the check of Col. Coleman of the Eutaw House, Baltimore, and obtaining thereon $1,000 in gold from Smithson & Co., bankers, of that city. The Spaniard named Gonzales, who was arrested as a supposed accomplice in the murder of Otero, in Brooklyn, has been released after three weeks confine ment in prison at Havana. William McKenny, a respectable citi zen of Rockbridge, Virginia, is being tried at Charlottesville before a military court* He caught a negro stealing his meat, and as the thief tried to run off, struck him with a stick, from the effect of which blow he died. From the New York Herald, 23d. The Case of Jeff. Davis.. The radicals in Congress are not satisfied to let the person whom they call the “representative man of the re bellion” pass out of sight. They pro test against that oblivion to which the good sense of the country is willing to consign him; they insist in keeping him before the people as a culprit.— And though they do not clearly clam or for his blood, they perhaps go as near to it as would be consistent with Congressional propriety. In this they follow closely those fierce bigots ot the great rebellion in England who could be satisfied with nothing less than the death of Charles the First; and they put themselves historically iu the same class with the violent ele ments of the French Revolution that coolly took the live of Louis the Six teenth. Was it wise to take the life of either Charles or Louis '? We can see the passions that urged to those acts—the party hates and violence that were to be satisfied. We can judge the questions from a safe histor ic distance, and, so judged, the univer sal decision of modern times has been that those executions were not only unwise, but cruelly foolish. They were blunders of the worst character, for they belittled great national causes into vulgar struggles that had re venges and thirsts for blood to gratify. The consent of wiser men to those acts gave the supremacy to the worst elements of the Parliament and the As sembly, and so paved the way. for the ruin of the popular cause. Those ex ecutions are the blots and stains in the history of the two great events. It is useless to say that the cases are differ ent. They are identical in all essen tial respects, and were they different, the difference is not in favor of those who urge the execution of Davis.— Charles and Louis were men revered by large classes of the population as legitimate sovereigns: and Davis was respected as the representative of the sovereign majesty of a people—the chosen Executive who could do only their will, and whose personality was sunken in his office. Jefferson Davis is not a criminal in the ordinary sense. His acts are lift ed out of the category of crimes by their national character. They are to be judged in a different light from that in which we examine those common offences against society for which we prepare the prison and the halter. In the celebrated debate in Parliament on the American colonies, Edmund Burke recognized the difficulty of framing a bill of indictment against a whole people. This same difficulty embarrasses the case of Davis. Where can we allege any act against the Uni ted States that was his personally, and that was not done by him as the representative of a people, who, accor ding to the dogmas on which our gov ernment is founded, had a full right to the exercise of sovereign powers ? Did Jefferson Davis wage war against us at Gettysburg on July 2,1S63? Then who was it waged war at Vicksburg, on the same day? If we set about accusing of treason the whole people, whose will this man carried out, from what standpoint shall we frame our accusation? Shall it be from the standpoint of those in the government who maintain that the Southern States now are and always have been sover eign, or from the standpoint of those who maintain that Southern States are conquered territory, an<f, therefore, that the Confederacy was a foreign nation ? Doubtless we should frame it from this latter, as this is the view of those who clamor for the trial of Davis. But if he was the ruler of a foreign nation, how shall we punish him for treason against our govern ment? We must take in this case higher ground than any people or government has hitherto had the moral courage to take. We must throw aside the an cient fictions, and deal with facts as facts. We must recognize that men like Davis have had their grand uses in the life of a nation; that they make those stands and cause those wars that purify government and render it im possible for it to become partial and tyrannical. Davis represented some millions of men who believed that they were oppressed, and who rose with the spirit of freemen. Shall we stultify our history—our itamortal de claration—by saying that the repre sentative of all those men deserves death for having been their represent ative? Where does government orig inate ? With the people ; we declare by every fact of our history. And with how many peopl%,'f not with eight millions? We agree with the radical members that Congress should take up the case of Davis, but we be lieve it should take it up only to set him at large on these high grounds; recognizing openly and bravely as the sense of the American people that acts such as his do not deserve death. We shudder as wo read of the terrible acts of British officials in Jamaica, who outbarbarize barbarism; we shudder to contemplate British Judges sending men to twenty years’ penal servitude for the crime of desiring a better gov eminent for their country. Let us be consistent with these feelings, and set an example of national magnanimity that may put that Power to the blush. Our cause does not call for any man’s blood, and we must not let partizan hatred put its bloody stains on our na tional history. NUMBER 23. A talk about Cotton. Recent articles in Liverpool papers have to some extent, restored the con fidence of those who are holding cot ton out of the market. Those arti cles that during the first eight months of the present year, 1S65, the imports of cotton, instead of having increased, as a consequence of the conclusion of the American war, had actually de creased, being 4,566,040 hundred weight in 1865 while they were 4,- 670,000 hundred weight in 1864.— While this decrease was operating there was an increase in the exports of raw cotton from 1,526,016 hundred weight in the first eight months of 1865, to 1,586,994 hundred weight during the corresponding period ,of 1865. During the same months of those two years there was also an in crease of yarn and piece goods, and a considerable amount of increase in the consumption of cotton manufactures. The opening of the ports in the South ern States failed to produce a strong effect upon the British imports up to the end of September, when they were 202,772 bales against 159,209 bales during the corresponding nine months 1S64, an increase of about 40,030 bales—scarcely a week’s supply. There was a falling off" during the nine months of the present year from India and China, which two countries ^supplied 1,131,306 bales in 1S64, and only 919,656 bales in 1865. These statements present the case thus : The increase of receipts of Cotton from the United States, in consequence of the cessation of war, is less than was expected, and the receipts from India and China have seriously decreased, while the exports of raw cotton, yarn and piece goods, and the home de mand for manufactured goods have considerably increased. Since these statements were com piled, the British imports from the United States have increased; but have they increased, and can they in crease, up to the limit required by the case, as presented above, especially when the very moderate prospects for raising a crop next year are taken into account? This is the view taken by those who are holding their cotton back from the market. Those who disapprove that policy say that one- third of the year before the new crop begins to come in, is gone by, and that the amount of cotton now on hand, and fast coming to market, is too large to admit of an important rise before the new crop makes its ap pearance.—Chronicle Sentinel. States not Amenable for Treason.— Judge Redfield of Boston, has written a letter to Senator Foote of Vermont, in which he takes the ground squarely that none of the States, late the scenes of in surrection, are responsible a9 States, and that nothing but individuals in the States are amenable to the law on the score of treason. The reasoning i3 said to be clear, cogent, compact and convincing ; one of the most powerful arguments, in fact, which has emanated from any quar ter. This is what the radicals might terra “a fire iu the rear.” It affords us pleas ure to record the fact that one of the leading men of even Boston, Massachu setts—that hot bed of all political here sies and fanatical isms—does not support the radicals in their present uncalled for, unprincipled, and most outrageous efforts to deprive the South of the rights she has under the Constitution of the United States. It is sincerely to be hoped that more statesmen of the stamp of Judge Redfield will lift up their voices against the present movement made in Cougress to injure the South, and use their influence to support the President in his herculean task of bringing order out of chaos, so that united once again, as a people, we may erow and prosper as a nation. The letter of Judge Redfield shows the South one thing. It shows that there are men at the North ready to stand by her and do all they can to have justice done. Let us stand by those men also. Let us banish all radical ideas, and taking our position on the conservative platform laid down by the President, exert ourselves to the uttermost to assist him in carrying shame, confusion, and defeat to the ranks of those who seek to crush out our very life blood, iu order to gratify their venomous hatred. A lot of handsome furniture, twenty- one pieces in all, arrived in Richmond on Monday, for Mrs. Gen. R. E. Lee. This is a gift to that distinguished Virginia lady from the ladies of Baltimore. *■ Concerning the president’s policy the New York Post Says : “It is clear that he has no fears of the future, and his practi cable wisdom will doubtless have the ef fect upon Congress.” Bnrean of Freedmen, Refugees, and Aban doned Lands. Office Acting Assistant Commissioner, 1 Slate of Georgia. £ Augusta, December 22, 1865. ) Circular No. 5. In answer to numerous inquiries, the following is published for the information and guidance of Officers and Agents of this Bureau : 1. This Bureau does not propose to sup port or remove from the plantations or homes of their late masters, the helpless and aecrepid freed people or young chil dren. If the former have children who are able to support them, they must he required to do so; if not, there is no other alternative but that their former owners shall provide for them until the State makes provision for their support. The parents of the latter, if able, must sup port them; if not, Agents will endeavor to bind them cut, together with orphans, and those whose parents cannot be found, as set forth in Circular No. 3, from this office: It must be apparent to the people that it is impracticable, if not impossible, for the Bureau to remove and provide for the very large number of destitute and help less freed people who are now scattered throughout the State. Besides, it should be remembered that there was an implied contract between the master and his slave, that in return for his service the slave should be fed, clothed and lodged, during his old age ; and where the former slave has fulfilled the conditions of his contract on his part, the former master is not ab solved from his obligations by the freedom of the slave, for which the latter is in no way responsible. Honor and humanity require that the former master shall not at tempt to eseape from or evade his respon sibilities. Even such colored people as are able, by their labor, to provide for their old, worn out parents, have a light to expect that the former owners of the parents will, if able, assist them in tear ing this burden. Justice requires this. It would be shameful to impose the entire burden npon those whose only means of support is their labor. Very few persons have been found in the State, and they by no means the most estimable, who do not regard the matter in the light stated. 2. In upper and middle Georgia, where the land is comparatively poor, and but a small quantity of cotton or corn can be raised to the 'acre, planters offer from twelve to thirteen dollars per month, with board and lodging, to full male, and eight to ten dollars to full female field hands, the laborer to furnish his own clothing and medicines. Along the coast and in Southwestern Georgia, and in other por tions of this State, where good crops of cotton, rice, corn or sugar can be raised, planters offer fifteen dollars per month, board and lodging, to full male, and ten dollars to full female field hands. In all portions of the State, planters are found who prefer to give a portion of the crop, which, with a favorable season, would probably give the laborer a sum equivalent to that above mentioned. Usually, they offer from one third the gross to one half the net proceeds. They are at liberty to pay money or a portion of the crop, as may he preferred by the parties. 3. Freed people who have sufficient property, or are so situated that they can support themselves and families, without making contracts for their labor, have the right to refuse to make contracts, and must be protected in this right; but in all other cases (comprising the vast ma jority of the freed people) it is absolutely necessary that they make contracts, to ensure a supply of food and escape star vation the coming year. It is also imper atively necessary that contracts be made in time, to prepare for raising crops the ensuing season. Freed people have the right to select their own employers; but if they continue to neglect or refuse to make contracts, then, on and after January 10th, 1S66, officers and agents of the Bureau will havo the right, and it shall be their duty, to make contracts for them, in ail cases where employers offer good wages and kind treatment, unless the freed people belong to the class above excepted, or can show that they can obtain better terms.— Contracts so made shall be as binding on both parties as though made with the full consent of the freed people. 4. Article 2d of the amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives be people the right to hear arms, and states that this right “shall not be infrin ged.” Any person, white or black, may be disarmed if convicted of making an improper and dangerous use of weapons ; but no military or civil officer has the right or authority to disarm any class of peo ple, thereby placing them at the mercy of others. All men, without distinction of color, have the right to keep arms to defend their homes, families, or them selves. 5. All persons are forbidden to tamper with or entice laborers to leave their em ployers before the expiration of their con tracts, cither by offering higher wages or other inducements. Officers and agents will punish, by fine or otherwise, any person who may be convicted of such acts. The public interest requires that labor be made reliable and profitable, and so long as the freed laborer is well paid and kindly treated, this Bureau will not tol erate any interference with the rights and interests of employers.
