The memorial'sts say: Al- though 1,519 votes were cast for the Unioa candidates—a large number of them by dix- coarged Union soldiers—and only Livi votes jor both the disloyal tickets—many of these berg cast by retarned rebel soldiers—yet the existing provisional government insists apoo ignoring the Union vote and declaring the can- Gidate of the opposite party elected Muyor, aitbougb he received osly 552 votes, and is, moreover, diequalified by the law above re- ferred to from holding the office. Taey reter to threats made by disloyal employers to dis_ cbarge employees for voting tne Repnoblicaa ticket, and to shed blood if the negroes were allowed to vote, and allege that nothiug but the presence of the military Pre veated a riot. They say the “military reconstraction Dill” is defective, because it «makes no Provision for organizing a loyal militia foree;’ tnat the disloyalists. whose ap- parent interest it is to nullify the law, fill every office, from the highest to the lowes:, @nd foyai reconstruction is possible only through the assistance of loyal eleciion ont- cers, “that peaceful elections cannot be secured unless the arrogant, domineering. blood-thirsty @isloyal element is kept from the Polis entirely, ‘Until such time as it shall have become at least partially purified. or the loyal element orga- nized and thoroughly entrenched in power.” And that it is absolotely mecessaty that there | “bould be 4 registration of voters, so unat all Gisfranchised individuals may have due notice bot only that they are disquatified. but that that fact is known. The memorialists favor the Louisiana bill, but would have it so amended that no person buying an honorable discbarge trom the army or navy of the United States sbali be disqualified from voting or bolding office on account of Previous com. Plicity im the rebellion; and that it should be made the duty of the (government and Uoun- cil, from time to time, to Prepare lists of ali, except certain classes of the disfranchised persons, who are now traly loyal, and sead them to Congress to have their disabilities removed, The authorities of Alexandria may thank } themselves if further action should be taken by Congress to enforce the Provisiens of the Teconsiruction bill. If the Commissioners of Election doubted the right of the colored men to vote, they should, instead of rejecting such votes, have received them im separate ballot boxes, to be counted and retained until such tome as the question of the Tight of colored men to the elective franchise on this occa- | ston should have been determined by com- petent authority. This pian was adopted in Baltimore recently in reference to contested votes of white men, and if the Alexandria Commissioners bad parsued a similar course Boone could have taken exception to their conduct. They would thushave showna dis Position to conform to the Isw in apy event, | and, instead of putting their ow: interpreta. ion upon it, to have performed simple duty and have left the decision of the mooted point to the Courts or Congress. As it is, tne Alex- andria eity authorities have damaged their | cause, and tosome extent that of other Southern commanities, by their foolish at- tempt to retain the government in their own ction isshown by the fact thatin the Senate yesterday Mr. ‘Wileon, of Massachusetts, introduced a joint resofution déclaring the Tunicipa! offices of Alexandra vacant, and imposing severe pen- | alties Upon any parties attempting to hold such offices.

From Mr. Steveas down to the youngest member all appeared deeply imter- «sted in the questions to be dedided. Gen. Bank-, who was chairman at the firs caucus for the session, presided. Business was atonce commenced by Mr. Ashley, who introduced ® resolution recttimg the charges | which he made in the House in the ins’ ses- : siom against the President, recounting the course of the Jndiciary Committee thereon, and directing that the same commitiee furcher prosecute the investigations with ample pow- er to’send for persons and papers, aid uh leave to sit during the sessiuns of the Mouse and to sit during any recess of the House. Mr. Covode moved to amend Ashley s reso. luton by substitating a select committee of thirteen in place of the Judiciary Committee, but to include the seven members of the Ja- dieiary Committee boiding over. This'resotation of Covode’s was drawn by General Batler, and was agreed upon in a caucus of afew who areresolutely determiaed on impeachment, at all hazards. Jauge Spalding, of Obio, moved to inguire at the Outset, whether the Judiciary Commit. tee were in possession of any information toucbiug the question of impeachment not already communicated to the public. If not, the whole thing, fu bis opinion, had better be dropped, for two months of investigauoa had brought orth nothing. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, chairman of the Ju- diciary Committee, replied that it would be improper for bim to answer that qneéstion. Mr. Pike, ot Maine, thought that the ques. uon of adjournment was the one which vitaily affected the question of impeachment, and was more deserving of discussion than the relative meTits of commuitiees. For one, he was willing to vote fo adjourm until December, allowing the committee ample time to investigate the charges. Gen. Farnsworth, of Illinois, spoke in favor of having the investigation contiaued by the | Jucicaary Committee instead of by @ select committee. Judge Keliey, of Philadelphia, also adyo- vated the prosecution of the investigation by the Judiciary Committee. General Butler made an earnest Appeal in favor of an investigation by a selees commit- tee. It was, be said, the habit of the British Parliament, in cases ofimpeachment, always to havea select committee, and the present case eminently deserved one. No disrespect Was imtended te the Judiciary Committee, as was evident from the fact that those gentle, men who weremembers of that committee in the Thirty-ninth Congress, and who were also members of the Fortieth Congaess, were to be specially included iv the select committee. Mr. Blaive, of Maine, replied to Gen’! But- ler, conten. ing thst, however it might bemade to appear im this meeting, the public would understand the substitution of a Select Com. mittee as in some sort a rebuke to the late Ju- diciary Committee. [n his Opinion that Com. mittee did not need to be braced up or pieced out, or in any way sustained by outside help. Its members were among the ablest of tne bo¢y. To prove this he need only recount tne names Of Wilson, of owa; Houtwell, of Mas sachusetts; Thomas, of Maryland: Williams, of | Pennsylvania; Woodbridge, of Vermont: Cook, | of Illinois, and Lawrence, ot Ohio. If these | i | men are pot competent to eoncinde the inyes- tgation they have begun, we mignt wel; | despair of finding competent men elsewhere. Mr. Wilson, of lowa, suggested that if a select committee were determined on, the Speaker | should be leit free to select all the members, and not have the Judiciary Committee forced on to him asa part of it. He objected toany such course. Gen. Logan, of Illinois, spoke earnestly in favor of a select committee, maintaining that the Jndiciary Committee had no pre-emptive right in the premises. Mr. Brom well, from the same State, opposed General Logan, and advocated intrasting the Judiciary Committee with the investigation. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, spoke earnestly in favor of the Judiciary Committee. In eight cases of impeachment in this Government, all but one had been referred to the Judiciary Committee, and that oné had been badly man- aged in the hands of a select committee. Gen. Butter enquired if Mr. Bingham was in any event in tavor of impeachment ? Mr. Bingbam replied that he was not like certain gentlemen, if favor of preferring ar- | ticles of impeachment and hearing the testi- mony afterwards. The question was then taken on Mr. Uo- vode's resolution as an amendment, and it was | voted down by a large majority. Ashley's resolution, referring the whole matter to the Judiciary Committee, was then adopted ‘with. out a dissenting votee. The question of impeachment having been dispesed of, that of adjournment to some time hence came before ike cauens, Mr. Thad Stevens designating the Sth day of May, while Mr. Wilson, ot lowa, pteferred the 20th of October, Gen. Batler and Mr. Boutwell urged the | shortest recess, and the General very plainly told Mr. Wilson that the question of impeach- ment should not be referred to a committee of which he( Wilson) was chairman. A post- ponement: until October was virtually an abandonment. Mr. Bingham replied sharply to Gereral Butler, intimating. that it was arrogant and presumptive to thus attempt to dictate to his peers. Mr. Wilson's amendment, fixing October 20th, Was defeated by a vote of 37 yeas ta Si) nays; and Mr. Steveas’ motion, fixing May 5, ‘was then adopted. | Mr. Pomeroy, of New York, moved that | Covgresa adjourn from Monday next until May Sth; whieh Was adopted by a vote of—yeas 57, pays 54: and the caucus then adjourned. CONVICTED OF FRAUD UPON THE PENSION OFeIck. On Tuesday last Frederick Guseetti alias Jacque Roellinger, and Charlies J. Drennaa alias William Mulligan, were convicted in the United rey Pa hed court at New York of trand upon the Pegsion Office. Guscetti had likewise obtained some 8900 in the name of Roellinger trom the | department here, for which, if acquitted im New York, he would have been tried in this ‘ict. These par. ties being prominent amongst the foreign pop- mn portage. pisces matey tte et Most important, w. energy 0! m- missioner of Pensions and his chief clerk im bringing him to aapeedy trial is much to be commended. a DIBPOSAL OF PUBLIC LANDS.

The num- ber of patents issued exceeded that of 1865 nearly 50 per cent., while that of 1865 ex - ceeded Any previous year nearly 30 per cent. The ee suys:— Of the business of the office continues to increase as now, and a8 it bas for several months past, it is not un- reasonable to suppose that the number of ap- plications during the present year will amouat to nearly if not quite twenty thousand. This very great increase of the business of the office renders it absolntely necessary that the cler- ical and examining force be correspondingly 16. Expenditures 1, 1867, $261,- augmented, and this cannot be done without | providing more room’ than we now have, as | every reom we have is filled far beyond its utmost reasonable capacity. The examiners bave euffered great inconvenience, and the | public interests great detriment, from the ne- cessity that has existed for several years past of conducting theexamination ot several classes of subjects in the same room--for instance, | steam engines and all cognate subjects under one principal examiner, with his several as. sistants, and byraulics, pneuma ics and wear. ing apparel under another, with his reveral Astistants,are all crowded intooneroom. The inconvenience named arises toa great extent from the limitation as to space, batin a tar greater degree from the diverse character of the inventions under examination, the exposure to the many applicants of inventions that snould be kept private, the discussions in the hearing of both the principal examiners, their several assistants, and of the various attorneys a: applicants, of matters which should be known only to the ties in interst, often, doubtless, to the prejudice of justice, and always to the embrrrassment of the business of those net en- gaged in the particular case in controversy.” The Commissioner also speaks of the want of room for the draughtsmen, library, and all other branches of the office, caused by the great increase of the business of the office. New York CaartTse ELections.—At the charter elections held in New York on Tues- day:—1n Oswego, the Republicans elected their candidate for Mayor and three out of the four aldermen. The city government now stands Republican. In Albany, Charles S. Wilson, Democrat, was elected Mayor by 165 majority. ‘The Democrats elected all their city ticket. with the exceptton of the overseer of the Poor. In Poughkeepsie, Geo. Innis, Republican, was animously re-elected Mayor, having been supported by both parties. “Frost, Republi- can, beat Smith, Democrat, by 39 majority for collector: a Republican gaim. The vote was light. At Yonkers, the entire Republican ticket was elected. At Auburn, John S. Fow- ler, Repubitcan, was elected Mayor by a ma- jority-of 625. The entire Republican city ticket is successful, with an average majority of 600. Four Republican supervisors and four Repub- lican aldermen are elected. At Rochester, Fish, Democrat, is elected Mayor by 392 ma- jority: againto the Demoeratsof 396. Lang- worthy, Republican, is elected treasurer by $96 majority. Collins, Repnblican, justice of the peace, 367 majority. The Democrats elect ten of the fifteen aldermen, making the Board of Aldermen, with thore who hold over. Dem- ocratic by one majority. The Democrats elect nine of the fourteen supervisors in the city; a gain of five. The returas en supervi- sors from the towns show Democratic gains, and the probability is that the board is Demo- cratic. DirrioulTy BETWREN THE FREEDMEN’s Br- REAU AND THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES.—A conflict has arisen in Brownsyille, Texas, between the Freedmen’s Bureau, commander and the civ. from the fellowing facts:—In Februar: > 1866, died Abram Milsted, of Cameron county. He had for many years lived with a negro woman. by whom be had several children. After his death his son, A. Milsted, was ap administrator. and as such took possession of his effects, giving bonds. The negro woman made no complaint for over a year, and then. influenced by the agent, ch: defrauding her. Milstead was arrested by Gen- eral Reynolds, at the instance of the agent. Thedistrict judgeissued a writ of habeas corpus. with which the general refused to comply.
