The low condition of the specie deposits in the banks has aided the bull side of the Gold room.

Pierpoint; the National Unionists, led by Alexander H. Rives, L. H. Chandler, Joseph Segar, and Robert Ridgeway, and the Democrats, with Alexander H. H. Stuart and John B Baldwin as leaders. The latter are the most numerous. It is also stated that the President's policy 1s openly supported by the National Unionists and the Democrats, whilst the Republicans, as aparty, have not yet declared either tor the President or Congress, although the majority of them favor the Constitutional Amendment. An In ESTING TRIAL.—The trial of J. R. McCann. Reuben Roddie, W. C. Cam, and John C. Ramsey, indicted for the hanging of C. A Haun, in 161, was commenced in the civil conrtof Knox connty. Tennessee, on the sth instant. The defendaits were members ofa Confederate court-martial that tried and hung Mr. Haun, in 1561, for bridge burning, and the three first named of the defendants have been confined in the Knoxville jail for the last twelve months. The triai lasted seve- ral days, and excited great interest. Governor Brownlow was one of the witnesses. The jury rendered a verdict ef not guilty.

A Vienna pa publishes news from Paris, stating that Maximilian has requested finan- cial assistance from France, declaring his in- tention to abdicate unless such tance was offered. The French government, it is added, had resolved to refuse this demand, and in- structed Marshal Bazaine to institute a fresh plebiscitum incase Maximilian should carry out his intention of abdicating.

CONGRESSIONAL. SENAaTE.— Yesterday afternoon— House bill to continue in force and to amend an act to establish a bureau for the relief of freedmen and refugees, and for other purposes, Was taken up. Mr. Davis moved to lay the bill on the table. Not agreed to—Weas 5, nays 27. The yeas were Messrs. Buckalew, Davis, Doolitue, Guthrie, and Riddle—s. The bill was then proceeded with. The first amendment was to strike out the section of the House confirming the field order of (sen. Sher- mas giving the freedmen certain lands in South Carolina and Georgia. Mr. Wilson said there had been a good deal of controversy over the occupation of these lands, and the Military Committee proposed that they should be given up on January 1. Generals Steadman and Fullerton had recom- mended this step. In lieu of these lands, the bill as amended would give the freedmen a cbance to purchase, for a very small sum, the lands acquired by Government under tax sales, These would be set apart, and six years given to the freedmen to pay for them, in lots of twenty acres or less. Mr. Hendricks moved to amend so that the bill would not confirm the tax titles acquired by the Government by the transfer to these freedmen, but to direct the examination of these titles: which was agreed to. The amendment striking out the House sec- tion relating toGen. Sherman was then agreed to, and & resolution adopted proposing to dis- pose of the lands acquired by tax tice to the freeamen after Jan. 1, inz. Mr. Buckalew moved to limit the operations of the bureau to ene year: which was not agreed to—yeas 6, nays 26. The veas were Messrs. Buckalew, Cowan, Doolittle, Davis, Guthrie and Hendricks Mr. Hendricks moved to strike out the sec- tion giving the commissioners authority to ap- Point clerks, agents, etc. Disagreed to. The bil! was then read a third time, and passsed without a division. Hovse —Yesterday afternoon The Senate bill toamend an entitied an Act toamend an act to aid in the constraction ofa railroad and telegraph line from the Mis- sour river to the Pacific Ocean, and to secure to the Government the use of the same for postal, military and other purposes, was read a third time and passed—yeas?, nays36.

FAMILY TRAGEDIES.—It seems murders of entire families are becoming frightfally na- merous in the United States. First we had the Dearing tragedy near Pnijadelphia, and the Deerfield marder in Tennessee, the perpetra- tore of which had a remarkable resemblance to each other—the shuffling gait, the light hair, the boyish countenance, and even the absence of the thumb of the right band. Then was an- nounced the tragedy in York county: and then the murder of a father and a son in Arkansas; and now we have in West Baden, Orange cougty, Indiana. the murder of a famils four persons, killed to prevent their testify aga ing their murderer, who was soon to be forarson. In this latter case the murderer been arrested, buteven arrests and con vic- ons and executions do not seem to prevent the occurrence of these terrible family butch- eries, the mere description of which is almost too horrible for belief. Tue BisLe tn MExico.—Mr. James Hickey, an agent ofthe American Bible Society, has continued bis labors im Mexico through all the political changes in tke country. His visits are gladly received, and his books taken with avidity in the Republican army, while the imperial Government permits his labors to be uninterrupted within the territory which it controls. in aletter written from Monterey, February 25, he describes a journey to Zacate- cas, three hundred miles distant, during which he sold above three bundred books. A year o he received an order to take his bibles out of the country. Bat now he says: “What will you say now when | tell you that exactly bon og from that order I sold in the home- stead of the very man who gave that order, forty bibles and sixty testaments, and actually had arrangements made for preaching?” A RECKLESS PROCEEDING.—By a letter trom Antwerp it appears that the ship Agnes was to bave eailed from the port for New York on May 13th, but the cholera breaking out among the emigrant passengers on board, she was de- tained. Fifty-six of the passengers died, and there were twenty-five other caseson board. The sick were however, landed, and on May 3ist the ship, with the well passengers, sailed for New York. This ship must have been in- fected with the cholera poi: and the reck- lessness of sending passengers tojsea in her un- der such circumstances deserves the severest condemnation. A Nove. Insurance Case.—One of the courts of Misseuri bas just had before it a novel kind of case, foanded upon the insur- ance of ahouse. it ap that the building, which was insured from loss by fire, fell down, and the fall occasioned a fire which de. stroyed the fallen material. The question was whether the insurance company was liable; and the court decided that the building in- sured, having fallen, ceased to exist as ench: that it ceased to exist by @ peril not insured against; that the fire occurred after the build- ing ceased to exist, and therefore the insurance company was not liable. FALLING OFF OF CHILDREN Born In Con- yecTIcUT.—A curious fact is stated ‘n the report of the Board of Education. wiich is also noticed in the a of the S:ate L.gta- rian, on births, ages, and deaths, to the effect that the relative number of children in the State op nae oe eee | during the past forty years. of idren to the ulation has fallen off from 30.59 m 1€20, to in 1960, & relative lose of eight per cent. pitts Bee, APE FE 2 A WESTERN Nie a lady in Concordia, ill., was wit Frey 3 physician dec! that squsrel soup was nec- es: for her.
