Just one year ez0 -s-day the armed hosts which threatened our existence as & nation, marchedort of the Capi- tal which they had defended with such skill and vigor. virtually abandoning the contest they had so obstinately waged against the su- Premacy of the Constitution and laws, and from that time the miliiary prestige of the ro- bellion was broken. But a storm which bad raged so fiercely left its traces. Disaffection, lawlessness and crime, the nsual concomitants of civil war, prevailed in many s ai z places in the South, when the tramp of armies | was no longer heard, and the bloody struggle of the contestants had ceased. A better tone gradually succeeded, and the country will warmly welcome the official proclamation of | peace; not because it alters the existing state of society or politics, but because it is a culmi- nation of the policy of the Government of the United States from the beginning of the insur- rection to its overthrow and final suppres_ion; apd was the anxiously exoccted, beeause necessary step, to an early ard complete res- toration of the Union. This is why the proc- Jama‘ion will rejoice the beart of every true Patriot. We commend to our readers a careful pera- sal of this able State paper, which recapitu- lates the various proclamations of the lament- ed Lincoln; the resolution of Congress in 1961, “that this war is not prosecuted on our part in any spirit of oppression nor for any Purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor purpose of over- throwing or interfering with the rights or es- tablished institutions of those States, but to detevd and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and ali laws made in pursuance thereof, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired; that assoon as these objecis are accomplished the war ought to cease:*: and other action, all tending to the same end, and that end, the national unity. Who will dissent from the fundamental principle of Government so forcibly stated by the Pre-i- dent, “that people who baye revolted, and who have been overcome and subdued, must either be dealt with so a= to induce them yol- untarily to become friends, or else they must be held by absolute military power, or deyas- tated, so.asto prevent them irom ever doing barm as enemies, which last-named policy is abhorrent to humenity and freedom ?” What American heart does not beat Trespon- sive to the sentiment that “standing armie-. military occupation, martial law, miiitary tribunals, and the suspension of the Privilege of the writ of habeas corpus are, in time of peace, dangerous to public liberty, incompati- bie with the individval rights of the citizen contrary to the genius and spirit of our free institutions, and exhaustive of the national resources, and Ought not, therefore, to be sanc- tioned or allowed, except in cases of actual necessity, for repelling invasion or suppressing imsurrection or rebellion”? Let the honorable peace we have attained be attended with mercy, forbearance, and good will; and all will yet be well, and this fortu- nate day usher in others yet more glorious for our redeemed and purified country. ————_— THE NATIONAL DEBT. --- The following items are taken from the state- ment of the Public Debt for the month of March. &s exhibited by the monthly statement of Sec- retary McUulloch, issued Apfil Ist, 1966: Debt bearing coin interest, $1,190,236,341.50; debt bearing currency interest, $1,186,207,011.36: ma- tured debt not presented for payment, 8970,679.- 64; debt bearing no interest, $460,419,564.02. Total debt, $2,527,793,896.-2. Amount of coin in the Treasury, $62,069,700.90; amount ef cur- rency in the Treasury, $60,077,690.01. Total cash in the Treasury, $/22,147,350.81. Amount of the debt less the cash in the Treasury, #2,- 706,646.516.01. By comparing the several totals of this state- ment with that of March Ist, it will be seen that the decrease in the principal of the debt Ting Ise: month reached the tory sum of $6.703.44.21; ifan equa) amount conlda ban each month, in thirty-six years the public debt would be liquidated. The precent statement shows the debt bear- ing coin interest to have increased beyond the stater ent af March ist $2,369,050; and the debt bearing currency interest has increased Besides this, the amount of cash in the Trea- sury is $6,125,421.57 more than on the Ist o: ae thus diminishing the total debt 96,205,- —____ OUB PRESENT MILITARY FORCE. > Mr. Schenck laid before the House yesterday ® letter from the Secretary of War, which states that, on the Sth of January, there were 57,790 white and 65,762 colored troops in the Held: and on March 10, 27,171 white and 39,814 colored troops in the field.

This is a great dis- appointment to seyeral legal gentlemen from the South, who are anxious to practice their legitimate profession, but are excluded by their inability to take this oath. They had hoped that the oath would have been set aside, as it is no secret that five of the Court are opposed to it, But one of this five deems it impolitic to set the oath aside jucstnow, and consequently joins the Chief Justice and the three Justices who advocate the oath, in haying the decision post- poned. THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. The Sencte is occupied this afternoon (since tbe morning hour) exclusively with District business, and is considering the bill to incor- porate the District of Columbia Canal and Im- provement Company. It was pointed out by Senator Clarke and others that the bill was defective in not sufficiently protecting the rights of parties whose land may be con. demned for the use of the company: in not defining more precisely the rights of the city in regard to sewerage, the canal bridges, &e., ec, It scems probable at the time we go to press that the bill will be considerably amend. ed ere its passage. ES THE PATENT OFFICR. The United States Patent Office is proving te be more of a benefit to the coun‘ry than was probably ever anticipated, in stimulating the scientifical and mechanical genius of the land to greater effort and higher achievements. To no other influence can the rapid increase in the number and valne of recent inventions be more justly ascribed than to the protection and en- couragement afforded to inventors by the Pat- ent Office, espeeially since it has been under the able management of Commissioner Theak- ev. In tbe week ending April 10th the Uom- Missioner will issue 223 new patents, which is aremarkable increase over the issue of any previons week. aes GENERAL LAND OFFIOR. ‘The President hav ordered the consolidation of the land office at Batesville, Ark., with that of Litdle Rock; the office at Champaqnade with that at Washington, and the office at Hunteville with that at Clarksville. Keturns of public surveys of several town- ships -n the Siate of Wisconsin have been re- cely.. embracing Trout, and several of the Mandowieh lakes, near the northern boundary of the State, and in Marathon county. The lakes in question are linked together, and present very interesting topographical features, ——————— ee ADMISSION OF COLORADO. The Senators etect from Colorado urge the speedy admission of that Territory as a State, and intimate that their two yotes may be use- fulin passing the civil rights bill over the President's veto. These votes are « nandy to have in the house,” as Mrs. Toodles would have said. —— SEIZURE OF SMUGGLED GooDs. The Commissioner of Customs has been in- formed of the progress made in the suppres. sion of smuggling along the northwestern frontier. The report states that the Collector at Puget Sound recently made several impori- ant seizures of goods, which parties were at. tempting to smuggle over the border. URI sect SP eh WASHINGTON, ALEXANDRIA AND Gronce- TOWN RAILROAD.—The bill Granting to the Washington, Alexandria and Georgetown Railroad Company the privilege of rarnning through the city by steam, with certain Te- strictions and requirements, was passed last night by the Board of Aldermen, and theamend- ments of the Aldermen were afierwards con- curred in by the Lower Board. The bill an- Unorizes the company aiso to construct as. ingie track of railway from Maryland ayeaue along 6th street to the south side of Missouri avenue, and repeals the privilege given them in 1855 to construct a branch from Maryland avenue along 7th street to the canal, and thence along the canal to l4th street wet. The privileges granted by the bill are conditional upon the repayinent to the city of the money paid here- tofore in behalf of the road by the corpora. tion, amouning in principal and interest to some $-0,000. gees PERsoNAL.—Alexander H. Stephens, late Vice President of the Confederacy, arrived here Jast night, and is stoppmg at his former place of residence, corner 6th and D streets +++-Senator Wright. of New Jersey, returned to his quarters in this cicy last evening, much improved in bealth. Senator Dixon is much better, and expects soon to resume his ceat in the Senate. INTERNAL KEVENUE RECEIPTS.—The re- ceipts trom Internal Revenue to-day were $1,136,506.16, ee--—____ XXXIXTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. TuEspay, April 3. SENATE.—Mr. Brown presented a petition for a Constitutional amendment guaranteeing equal rightc without distinction on account of color. Referred to the Committee of Fifteen. Mr. Chandier presented the memorial of the Tebacco Growers Convention of Michigan, asking for a modification of the tax on tobacco. Referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Sumner called up the resolution offered by him yesterday, ing upon the Secre! of the Treasury and the Postmaster General to report whether since December last any per- sons have been admitted to hold offices in these Departments without taking the oath reqnired by law, and whether the oath has been altered or modified in any cases, etc. Mr. Hendricks inquired ot Mr. Sumner if there was any reason for calling for such in- formation. Mr. Sumner said that on last Saturday he called on the Commissioner of Internal Rev. enue, and was told by him that the oath had in aa been modified to suit persons in the South. Mr. Hendricks did net see the necessity for passing such a resolution. He belie: the Secretary of the Treasury to have done his duty, and to be an able and efficient officer. Me, Sumner said there was a law requiring a certain oath from all officers in the employ of the Government, and no Cabinet officer had right to dispense with it. ‘The yeas and nays were demanded on the adoption of the resolution, and it was adopted— yeas 25, nays 8. ‘ ‘eas— Messrs.
