SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- G@BAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. FREEDMEN’S BUREAU IN VIRGINIA. The Superintendent of Freedmen’s Affairs at Lexington Va., has just made a report to the Bureau of his operations in that district. He says that he heard and decided upwards of fifty cases of conflicting claims during the month of February, some of which were as- dered payment to be made to the freed- men fleas the tenth day of April, at the same rates for ich they were hired previous to the surrender. One | case had been reported to him “in which a colored man was struck thirty-nine lashes by his former owner, because he got an order or statement frem General Darall last June, and took it to his master to prove that he was a free man.” Another instance is where “an assault was made by a boy upon a colored girl, the cause assigned by the bey for the act was that she was singing, ‘Uncie Sam is rich enough to send us all to schoo He states, further, “that unless there is © Letter disposi- tion on the part of the citizens and their sons, } and cadets and students, troops would have tu be sent for.”” SENTENCE OF OCOUBT-MARTIAL.

The Commercial Advertiser says: ‘ne of the loan bill drew out an immense “short” interest; the contracts of this character outstanding at the beginning of this week being Probably not far short of fifty millions of dollars. The demand tor gold to cover these transactions caused a strong upward movement; and the indisposi- Uon to pay the advance again produced an un- precedented demand tor loans of gold, the rate ot which was Tuesday per cent. per day, and in one case, on @ co: erable amount, 3¢ percent. Yesterday morning, the Cuba's news, reporting Five-twenties in London at 72, and a lin the rate of discount at the Bank of Eng- land, bad the effect of depressing the premium, and the price opened at 12743. The chance of covering at such a deciine caused an imme- diate rush from the “shorts” ular gold, under which the 12%, again immediately falling to 128%, while loans were offered at X per cent. per day. It ‘would seem thata large proportion of the short interest has been covered, and, sf so, the mar- ket may be expeciec to show more ease. The Stock market is quiet but steady. Governments are active and stroxger under improvement of Five-twenties in don; Five-twenties of 1962 rose x, Ten-forties %, and Seven-thirties . There is no change the extreme ease im money. The demand from brokers is quite limited, and is supplied generally at Sper cent. There is a fair application for discounts from merchants; but paper is subject toa sharp dis- crimination. Prime names are current at 6\a- 7% per cent, good at Sa9 per cent.

M. OBSEQUIES OF SENATOR FOOT The funeral services of Semajor Foot drew a large assemblage to the Capitol to-day. The Senate galleries were filled some time prior to the hour for the services, ard large numbers assembled on the porticoes and steps to see the procession arrive and depart from the Oapitol, The body was embalmed yesterday, and dressed in a suitof fine black cloth, with black satin vest and cravat, and this morning was placed in a handsome coffin, farnished by the undertakers, Messrs. Harvey & Co. The cof- fin is of mahogany, lined with zinc, and coy- ered with black cloth, heavily mounted with silver; there being eight massive handles of that metal, while around the edges is a row of silver lace, edged with rows of Beavy silver, and around the top a heavy fringe of the same. On the breast is a massive silver plate, in- scribed: “Hon. Solonton Foot, U. 8. Senator from Vermont, died March 2th, 1866, in the 63d year of his age.” The coffin is lined with heavy twilled satin, neatly laid in plaite, edged with a deep fringe. At half-past 12 the committee of arrange- ments, pall-bearers and mourners assembled at the late residence ot the deceased, Mrs. Carter's, No. 4 North Capitol street. The coffin contain. ing the remains occupied the center of the large dining room, and numbers of friends in the course of the morning availed them- selyes of the opportunity to take a last look at the features of the deceased. The face wore that placid benignant expression so characteristic of the deceased in life. Wreaths and other decorations of beautiful flowers were placed upon the coffin. Shortly before one o’clock the coffin lid was closed, and the six bearers of the coffin conveyed it to the hearse in the street, after which the proces. sion formed—embracing & large representation of Vermonters, some sixty or seventy, mar. shaled by John Osgood, Esq, of Rutland, Vt. The immediate mourners in the precession were :—Dr. Foot, brother of the deceased: Judge Foot, cousin; two Misses Foot, cous- ins; Seward Foot, sister; Mr. Silas Hodges (brother of Mrs. Foot,) and wife; Colonel Dana, a cousin of deceased; Judge Watts, of N. M.: Judge Grier; Judge Spaulding, ot Obio, and Iady; Judge Browning: Dr. Burleigh, of Dacotah; Senator Doolittle: Mr. Robinson, of Mobile; Mrs. Beck; Miss Carter The procession, marshaled by the Sergeant. at-Arms of the Senate, entered the Senate Chamber at 1 o’clock. The President and Secretaries Seward, Stan- ton, Dennison, Welles and Harlan were pres- ent, occupying seats to the right of the chair of the President of the Senate, The relatives of the deceased were placed in the front seats corresponding, to the left of the chair. The coffin was placed on tres. ties immediately in front of the Secretary's desk. The Judges of the Supreme Court oc- cupied seats to the extreme right. In this vi- cinity was noticed General Grant. The seats in the Senate Hall were filled by members of the two Houses and the halls and lobbies in the rear by the Vermont delegation and others; while the galleries were densely crowded with spectators. The assemblage being seated, the Rey. Mr. Gray, Chaplain of the Senate, proceeded to read a portion of Scripture, on the resurrection, and followed in a feeling prayer. Rey. Ur. Sunderland (at whose church the deceased attended) proceeded to deliver an impressive discourse. Would that here and now, with the sacred ashes of the deceased in our midst, we might forget the exciting scenes of the present, and go back tothe days of our childhood—those purer years—when, in the simplicity of youth, we were nearer Christ! The reverendspeaker proceeded to give an affecting detail of the incidents of the last illness of the deceased. From an early period of his i)Iness he was im- pressed with the belief that he should never recover. On various occasions the speaker prayed with him. On one occasion he re- marked that he knew it was a poor time to seek religion in iliness. He felt a strong de- sire to accept the terms of Divine mercy if he could only have assurance that dod would not reject him after he had so long rejected God. At another time he remarked that he was trying to do two things—trying to get well, and trying to prepare to die. He could not divest himself of the idea that he should never recover, On Sunday he expressed his conviction that it ‘Was the last Sunday he should spend on earth, and the announcement was received by his friends as arother proof of the mental depres- sion peculiar to the disease he was laboring un- der. On Tuesday, as if forwarned of approach- img death, he spent the whole day in taking leave of friends and in religious exercises. To his wife, sobbing by his bedside, and to his frends he eaid, “There is no occasion for weeping. This is Heayen begun be- low. I do trust in my Saviour!” A little later be remarked that he had been trying to call to mind if there was any human being to whom he had ever done an injury, If there was, he trusted to be forgiven. He expressed much gratification at a visit paid bim by the Secretary of War, and spoke of the kindness of that official to him. In reference to his death, he requested that no unnecessary parade should be made. He wished to be sent to his home in Rutland, Vt., that his remains might rest with the people who had done so much for him. His great grief was in parting with his beloved wife During the night he made an expression of faith in God, and par- took of the communion bread and wine. At7 o'clock in the morning it was evident he could not last long, and he signified his desire to once more see the Capitol where he had served so long. He was lifted up, but his eyes were already covered with the film of death. The 33d Psalm was then read, and his favorite verses of faith in the Redeemer were sung by his desire. He then folded his wife to his heart in a. last fond embrace, and exclaimed, «What! can this be death!” and shortly after a look of ecstacy come over his face, and he cried out, “Iseeit! Iseeit! The gates are wide open. Beautiful! Beautiful!” and immedi- ately expired. Dr. Sunderland concluded his discourse with some suitable reflections upon the difference between the death-bed of the Christian and the Pagan. On the completion of the ceremonies at the Capitol the tuneral procession moved from the Senate Chamber to the depot cf the Baltimore and Washington Railroad in the following or- der: The Chaplains of Congress for the occasion.
