The census returns of the colored population of the city and county of Alexandria, except Freedmen’s Village, furnishes the following Total population, 7,763, pf which 3,932 are Diack, 3,177 are mulattoes, 512 are quadroons: and 142 are octoroons. 3,997 are females, 3,766 males, and 3,420 are residents. In regard to Oecupations, 2,554 are laborers, 172 mechanics 424 employed by the Government, 45 are em- _ by their former owners, and the num- Tr without employment is 2,522; of these 55 are being assisted by the (tovernment. 1,734 can read, and 641 are unable to support them- selves, such as aged people and young chil- dren. The estimated money value of prop- Son fon the possession of the colored people is THE BINDERPEST. Advices have been received by the State De- partment from our consulate at Liverpool, un- der date of December 19, 1865, to the effect that the cattle plague, or rinderpest, was still on the increase, both in England and Scotland. In the week preceding the above date, between | seven and eight thousand cases had occurred. Great anxiety exists throughout the United Kingdom, and some writers are asserting it to | be a kind of small-pox; but the consul, con- cluding from careful observations made b: himself, thinks that its nature is not well de- fined, nor is there any reliable remedy discov- ered for its cure. e most stringent laws are enacted against t transportation of cattle about the kingdom. ANOTHER OBDEB TO MUSTER OUT. The following is a list of volunteer organiza- tions mustered out, or ordered to be mustered out of the service by the Secre' of War: The Sth, 2ist, 47th, 147th, 149th, 150th, and 25th detachment, Illinois Infantry; the 26th, 3ist, 35th, Sst and 145th Indiana Infantry; the 7: and 2ist Kentucky, and 8th Kansas Infantry: Company D, 24 Minnesota Cavalry, 8th Maine Infantry; the Ith and the last two companies of the 49th Missouri Infantry; the 15th, 19th, 26th, 49th, Sist, 64th. 7 77th Pennsylvan: Infantry, 77th Artillery, and Battery B, 2d Heavy Independent, Company I, Ist Wash- ington Territory, and 13th Wisconsin Infantry. GENERAL LAND @FFICE. Patents have been issued by the General Land Office for swamp land grants to the State of Wisconsin, covering 104,656 acres, and to the State of lowa for 30,527 acres. Entries for actual homestead settlement were made during last month at Brownsville, Neb., for 2,59 acres, and at Winnebago City, Mian., for 5,740 acres. As Opp Compiiment.—The Jewish Messen- ger compliments Mr. John W. Ferney for the boldness and intrepidity with which he makes his onslaught upon the Christian Sabbath, as exhibited in his controversy with the clergy- men of Philadelphia. The Messenger says that he has put the clergy hors du combat by deny- ing that Sunday is rightfully the Sabbath of the Bible, and hopes he will succeed in “lib- eralizing sentiment,” &c. S7 From Shillington, Odeon Building, we have the useful Tribune Almanac for 1966, Bal- low’s Magazine for February, the United States Service Magazine for January, number 2 of the popular new weekly started by Ticknor & Fields, “Every Saturday,” and number 2 of the New York Weekly Magazine.

Nolen, of Con- necticut, has just been appointed Second As- sistant Examiner in the Patent Office. Important RaiLroap MeeTixG.—An im- portant meeting of the solid and substantial men of this vicinity was held at the city hall, in this place, on last Monday, to adopt meas- ures looking to the ultimate construction ofan air-line railroad between Washington city, via Frederick, to Lake Erie. It is represented that such @ road would be at least one hundred miles shorter than any other that can be con- structed between those points, and will place this city and Washington in direct communi- cation with the immense coal fields of Penn- sylvania,and insure a large amount of trade and travel. An application fora charter will be made to our Legislature, now in session, and a similar b lication will be made to the Le- gislature o: ‘ennsylvania. Should the char- ters be obtamed, no doubt is entertained in re- ference to the nece: means to complete the enterprise. Our peop!) pear to be in good earnest in this matter, and are unwilling that Frederick shall be isolated from the rest of mankind.—Frederick (Md.) Union, lth. Coat tm New York —There is a great de- mand for coal, chiefly for domestic purposes, and Anthracite is selling at wholesale at $11 per ton, for steamer and grate, and $10.50 stove and other sizes. The decline at the last monthly sale was only to make alow price at the mines and prevent the miners from striking. It bas been impossible to buy any coal at aucticn prices since the sale, and the present rates are fully up to those current below the reduced Sayre were made. The recent cold er has stopped ali communication with Elizabeth: and all the receipts are now rail. The consumption is yery large and increases faster than the production does.— N.Y.

U; the open- ing of the Court, General W submitted a written argument, prepared by W.H. Dulany, on behalf of himself and C. E. Stuart, asking @ reconsideration of the order made yes- terday, and rmission to appear as counsel for the defendants, on the ground that the test oath is not applicable to eeners being a law of Congress apply ing only to officers of the U. S. Government, and that even if applicable to attorneys the reason for its enforcement nav- ing ceased, therefore the law — “cessante raione cessat lex; further that the court should be magnanimous in allowing the accused the benefit of all defence in their power, as it is not to be presumed that they are snilty until that guilt is established by the testi- mony. On motion of the Judge Advocate (that part asking for a reconsideration of the order being stricken out,) the eet was make a part of yesterday's record. General ells stated that as a question of more or less gravity im relation to the juris- diction of the court would rise, and with a view to saving time, he desired to reserve the right to discuss that question in the final argu- ment: this, with the consent ofthe Judge Ad- yocate, was entered on the record. The examination of witnesses was then commenced, when George Dogans (negro) was called and gave testimony in reference to dis- turbances on King street, between Pitt and St. Asaph, and at Chapell Hall, on the corner of Washington and Duke streets. Mr. Chas. Javins, whose name appeared yes- terday, as one ofthe parties implicated, but not under arrest, appeared this morning, and was taken before witnesses, but not being identified was at once discharged.

The Chronicle—which paper seems to find it quite impossible to state anything fairly in re- gard to District matters,—says the Star was not pleased with the manner in which the re- turned Confederates were treated by Col. Forney in his Philadelphia letter, and thinks we have forgotten “the excellent article” we wrote lately denouncing the conduct of cer- tain retarned sprigs of chivalry who have mis- behaved themselves. The Chronicle reproduces our article, for which we are much indebted to that paper, since it supplies the readers of the Chronicle with some wholesome facts they are notlikely to obtain otherwise in behalf of the slandered people of this District. We have to say that we feel no displeasure against Col. Forney or any body else for denouncing any bad conduct on the part of returned Confederates: on the contrary, we will co-operate with him heartily in such denunciation. What we did object to—as every reader of the Star knows—was, that Col. F. represented this whole commanity as of this returned-rebel persuasion. He has per- sistently spoken of the immense vote against negro suffrage here as being made up mainly of returned rebels, when he must have known that had every individual thus returned here so voted, (and in fact they were not aliowed to vote at all,) it would not have amounted to one hundred yotes. Mr. Sayles J. Bowen, whose truthfulness the Chronicle will not deny, ad- mitted in his serenade speech that the vote against negro suffrage was largely republican, and yet the Chronicle has never to this day cor- rected this slander; but on the contrary repeats it day by day, and apparently intends to until Congress bas acted upon the measure, when we yenture to predict, it will tardily concede that the vote really represented the feeling of the bona fide Union citizens of Washington. Toshow how this misrepresentation is per- sisted in for this mischievous end by the Chron- icle and its twin Press, we quote the following from the “Special” of the Philadelphia Press of Janvary 9: “Mayor Wallach’s letter against negro suf- frage, sent this morning to Congress, is the first strong exhibition of feeling which that distin- guished gentleman has shown on any subject since the beginning of the rebellion.” He - ades the siz thousand votes thrown against colored suffrage, but does not state that nobody took part in the election but a certain set of politicians who have sympathized with the rebellion from the first. Vhen we recollect how these one-sided elec- tions are conducted elsewhere, and recall the manner in which the Southern States were forced out of the Union by frandaulent elec- tions, and by overawing independent citizens, the manceuyre of Mr. Wallach assumes a yery Tidiculous appearance." It would be useless to waste words in refu- tation of this atrocious talsehood. We simply use it to place it on record. ———— THE BECEPTION. The reception by the ladies of the White House, this afternoon, was of the most brilliant character. A large number of foreign Min- isters, heads of Departments, Senators, mem- bers of Congress, army and navy officers, with their ladies, called, among whom were Mrs. Secretary Harlan and daughter, Mrs. General C. C. Augur, General Townsend and lady, Mrs. Senator J. H. Lane, General D. RB. McKibbin and lady, Speaker Colfax, Secretary McCuiloch and lady, Mrs. Senator Trumbull the Mexican Minister and lady, Sir Walter Bruce, English Minister, and Private Secre- tary; Mayor Wallach and lady. General R. O. Buchauan, Commodore Wilkes and lady, Commodore Radford and lady, the Chilian Minister, Senator John Sherman. lady and daughter, and many others. FREEDMEN’S BUREAU. The report of Rev. John Kimball, Superin- tendent of freedmen’s schools for this district, for the month of December, 1865, contains some interesting items. The number of schools in the district is 45; number of teachers employed is 100, number of scholars 5,191, nine schools with 560 scholars are not included in this re- port. Some ot these schools were at first re- garded by persons residing in their neighbor- hood, as nuisances, but this opiniun has faded out, as the children have been found to be or- derly and well conducted. The tri-monthly report of the Freedmen’s In- telligence Office of Alexandria, from the Ist to the 10th incusive, gives the number of appli- cants for servants 18, number of applicants for labor 50, number of persons furnished with employment 11, received as fees tor contracts SS. SAUGE FOR THE GOOSE, N@ SAUCE FOR THE GANDER. The Chronicle devotes considerable editorial space to-day to show why Colorado should be admitted as a State, despite her utter and ab- horrent rejection of negrosuffrage. The Chron- icle thinks the peoples’ voice in Colorado should be heeded, “as there was no condition im- posed by the act in regard to suffrage,” and has not one word of reproach to cast npon the voters of that State for so voting,—no epithets of “traitors,” “returned rebels,” “worms,” “wretches,” &c., &c. What is sauce for the goose of Colorado is not snuce for the gander of the District of Columbia. WHITE HOUSE. This being Cabinet day, with the exception of General Grant, only members of Congress were granted an interyiew with the President, All the members of the Cabinet were present except Secretary Seward, who was repre- sented by the Acting Secretary of State, Mr. Hunter. A very large delegation of ladies, headed by Mrs. Senator Trumbull, called upon, and had an interview with the President. THE CONSPIRACY REWARDS, The examination of claims for a share of the rewards offered for the capture of Booth and his conspirators, was concluded to-day by Col. Winthrop, of the Judge Advocate Gen- eral’s Office, and the report will Probably be sent to the Secretary of War to-morrow. The awards will be made by Secretary Stanton as soon as more important duties will atlow. THE BANKRUPT BILL. The special committee of both Houses on the bankrupt bill will report next Wednesday. The committee has agreed to the amendments ofthe House and some of the Senate, with a few additional amendments of no material im- portance. THE OHIO SENATORSHIP. Senator Sherman and Hon. R. C.
