_EVENING STAR. | WwW. D. WALLACH, Editer and Preprieter. WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY........NOVEMBER 15, 1865, SJ READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGR. BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. WARREN'S HOUSEHOLD Puyrsiciay. — We have received from the agent, who is now can- vassing the cities of Washington and George- town, a copy of Dr. Warren’s Household Phy- sician. This popular work on medicine, writ- ten by one of the most eminent physicians of the country, Dr. Ira Warren, has run through ‘we know not how many editions, and now @ppears in much improved form, with some three hundred illustrations, worl a val- table contribution from Dr. Dio Lewis upon Physical Culture. An important feature of tz,'8 edition is the large collection of prescrip- tions 2nd recipes, being those used by the most distingnicted ——— of the world. The work embraces all that is needed for a popular «Family Physician,” including a concise his- tory of the progress of medicine, articles on Anatomy, Hygiene, Temperaments, Constita- tion and Symptoms, Diseases of every portion of the frame, homeopathic, allopathic and hy- dropathic remedies, Cookery for the sick room, Medicines and their preparation, Old age and its Diseases, &c., &c., &¢, This work is un- doubtedly the safest and most reliable of any family medica! work issued. ‘7 The complete account of the execution of Wirz, with his diary and letters, having created so great a demand for the Weekly Star, we baye struck off extra copies, which can be obtained at the Star office counter, open or in wrappers ready for the mail. Other interesting and im- portant matter relating to our relations with Europe is contained in it, m addition to the usually extensive budget of departmental, military, naval, and domestic news. SERENADE TO MR. Cotrax.—Hon. Schuyler Colfax has arrived in town, looking in excel- Jent health. We hear that his friends design TELEGRAPHIO NEWS, —o-—_—_ From Cincinnati. Crrcrynati, Noy. 18.—Gov. Morton, of In- diana, has turned the duties of nis office over = the Lieut. Governor, and will leaye soen for Europe. The Commercial’s Chicago dispatch says Gen. to-day, in conversation with a friend, remarked that he would accept the appoint- ment of Minister to Mexico, provided the Gov- ernment would order twenty thousand armed men to accompany him to the capital of that country. From New York. New York, Nov, 18.—The Jamaica Standard says over a thousand and fifty rebels have been shot and hanged in the of St. Thomas in the East, and it is not unlikely that before the conrts-martial close their sii over two thousand will have paid the penalty of their lives for their vile attempt to extermi- nate the white and colored races of the Island. The Atalanta was allowed to come up to the city to-day. NASHVILLE, Noy. 17.—The ¢otton market is Active to-day, 4nd prices are ranging from 40 to 43 cents. Robberies and murders are still continued in this city and yicimity. Four men and one ‘woman were killed near the Chattanooga de- pot last night. New York Markets.

Harris, a colored preacher at the Third-street Methodist Church, in that city, for a license suthorizing him to celebrate the rites of mat- Timony. The motion was resisted by R. T. Danel, Esq., Commonwealth’s Attorney, on the ground that there was no anthority in law for granting such a license to a negro—the Alexandria Legislature having simply de- clared the negro free from bondage, without granting him the rights of citizenship. The counsel for t!e colored preacher cited instances in which the Henrico Court had granted such licenses. The Court, however, sustained the opinion of the Commonwealth’s Attorney, and refused to grant the license, there being no law authorizing them todo so. This matter, says the Richmond Enquirer, will doubtless be one of the first, in connection with the freedmen, to attraet the attention of the coming Legislature. SS ee Fy NEW JERUSALEM TEMPLE.

There was the usual crowd of pardon seek- ers in waiting at the White House to-day, seek- ing aninteryiew with the President upon the subject of their private interests, regardless of propriety and the claims of public business, The great forbearance of the President under these annoyances, and bis efforts to do justice to every individual, while at the same time meeting the almost overwhelming pressure of national questions, seems to be totally unap- preciated by this class. No artifice is neglect- ed in hastening the issue of their pardon war- rants, and when this has been accorfplished they besiege the White House for the signature of the President as if the Executive office was created solely for their benefit. Among those in theante-room to-day was Mrs. Cobb, whohas been named in connection with what is termed the “pardon-brokerage” cases. The President, notwithstanding interruptions from the crowds ot visitors, is progressing rapidly with his message to Congress, and hopes to have it completed some time before the commencement of the session. The reports of the heads of Departments are nearly fin- ished, and it is understood will shortly be placed in the President’s hands. To-day the President issued an order giving to two Indians of the Dacotah tribe two hun- dred dollars to purchase horses, to each a silver medal, and fifty dollars apiece, for their trouble in giving their own horses for the ran- som of two white women held as prisoners by @ hostile tribe. PARDONS. Applications for pardon are still cotiing in at the Attorney General’s office, though not in such numbers as has hitherto been the case. Until recently they have averaged twelve hundred per week, but now will not exeeed six hundred. About four hundred per week are acted upon and the requisitions forwarded to the State Department, from whence they are sent to the President in small parcels, thus resulting in an accumulation of warrants in the office ef the Secretary of State, the Presi- dent haying no time to devote to them at present. The greatest number of applications are now coming in from North Carolina, Vir- ginia and Arkansas. One hundred petitions were presented yesterday by the Secretary of State of Texas. It is understood that the diminn- tion ofapplicanis for pardon is owing to the prevailing idea in the South that Congress will gran. general amnesty, a result highly proble- matical. There are now in the office of the At- torney General about one thousand cases, which are filed away for turther consideration by the Cabinet. These include rebel Gen- erals, members of the Confederate Congress, and officers of the rebel service who graduated at the United States Military and Naval Aca- demies. Alabama is considerably ahead of other States with respect to pardons, and will probably have comparatively few more peti- tions to present. ——————_ CENSUS RETURNS OF COLORED PEOPLE. Lieut. S. B. Smith, Assistant Superinten- dent of Freedmen for Fairfax county, Va. has furnished the Freedmen’s Bureau with a sum. mary of the census returns of the colored peo- ple of that county, taken on the 15th instant, which shows that at ea eee time there are in that county 1,552 es and 1,389 females, classes fixed as follows: Blacks, 2,332; mulat- toes, - quadroons, 60; octoroons, 9; total, 2,941. Ofthis number 1,121 are 14 years of age and under; 423 under 20 and over 14 years of age; 1,140 under 50 and over 20; 203 under 70 and over 50 years; and 54over 70. In thesame county on the Ist of January, 1562, there were 2,167 slaves, and 774 free blacks. These colored people are all self-supporting, and not depen- dent upon the Bureau for assistance. BEVENUE DECISION. Yesterday, the Commissiener of Internal Revenue decided that a conveyance from a State bank association to a national bank is subject to a stamp duty. as in the ease of a deed for real estate from one owner to another. Stamps have not been placed upon such deeds heretofore, the ies being of the opinion that a deed from a bank to anational bank, into which t he former had been merged, was nota deed of conveyance trom one owner to another. DIRECT Tax. Since the close of the rebellion the following States have paid imtothe U. S. Treasury the amounts set opposite their names as the direct tax levied by the act of Congress of August 5th, 1861:—Tennessee, $170,000; South Carolina, $234,756.17; Virginia, $171,420.27; Florida, $43,- 607.81; Arkansas, $38,165.22; Louisiana, $98,- 203.72; Nevada, $3,592.33; Washington Territory, $4,143.06. WAE DEPARTMENT DETECTIVE FORCE. After inquiry we have satisfied ourselves that the President has not directed the disband- mentof the War Department detective force, under General L. C. Baker, as has been stated_ Thefauthorities haye not even intimated a de. termination to disband the force, and it will be retained as long as the necessity for it exists. THE PRESIDENT’S BODY GUARD. The company of cavalry of the Veteran Re- serve Corps, commanded by Captain Hill, which has been acting as President Johnson’s body guard since the discharge of the Union Light Guard, has been relieved from duty and will be mustered out immediately.

CRIMINAL Court, Jupcz Wrttz. This morning, at the opening of the Court, Gen. L. C. Bakerappeared, with his counsel, Messrs F. P. Stanton, Utermehle, and Riddle, to respond to the indictments against him in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Cobb. It will be re- vember, 1865, he made an assault on one Jos, R.

They commenced the term with it full and it was full now. It seemed impossible to keep — the record. The Olerk of the Court. - Middleton, had said yesterday that he would have either toresign or die. (Laughter. The case could not be reached this nae | he could not well assign a day for it. District Attorney Carrington said it was de- that a day should be fixed for the case Mr. Stanton replied that the prin, wit- nese for the defense, Mr. Hine, was in and it was not convenient at present to fix a day. ‘Aiter some further discuscion, the Court set the cases for the second Monday of December next. Mr. Hughes asked that a a should be issued to bring Spear before the Court. Mr. Uterme! <taie eg be —_ Mr. Spear came in ‘is time, an il was given in his case as in that of Gen. Baker. Mr. Utermehle inquired in what order the cases would come up. The Court said they were set for one day, and would come up in the order docketed. If there was @ conviction im one case there would probably be a nolle pros. in the others.
