BRODHEAD, Second Comptroller. WRW YORK REPUBLICANS IN WASHINGTON PREPAR- ING FOR THE STATE ELECTION. The Excelsior Club, of New York (republicans), in Wash- @ogton, are waking up on the subject of the coming elec- Mion in thoir State, There are about eight hundred engaged fin the several departments and in mechanical pursuits bout Washington, and the desire to go home in Novem- ; Wer is pretty general among them. Investigating com- mitteos report that members of the club who wish to go. an have the privilege of the Northern Central Railroad ine to Eimira and the lincs to New York city at-half tare. gA deputation will shortly wait upon Dean Richmond to got the same privilege over the Central and its connec- tions. They aro as sanguine of getting the privilege from Dean Richmond as they are of General Barlow’s selection. Miss Dr. Mary i, Walker, the lady surgeon, isa requent. visitant at the meetings of the club, in hor munique costume, and is frequently obliged to get up and GBanterrupt the hilarious old departmental bucks in some yor their anecdotes, with the information that there is a < fiady im the audience. Furloughs are easy to be got, and probably four-fifths of the club may be expected home sat olection time. ‘HE CLAIMS OF THE STATES AGAINST THE GOV- ERNMENT. Governor Crapo, of Michigan, left Washington last Might. Besides his interview with{the Secretary of War verday, he alsocalled upon Secretary McCulloch and irged the satisfaction of the State claim against the gov- ‘ernment for the equipment of its troops. Hoe was told fehat no claims of this character had yet boon settled, @ave that presented by Massachusetts, which had been pmade the oxception in this regard because of tho per- @intent and annoying importunities of Govornor Andrew. ‘utsido of this single instance of forced partiality, no Btate bad been paid its account against the War Depart. ment upon this score, though it was intimated that it had Poon partly determined to hquidate such claims by do- from their amounts the respective assessments the States under the direct tax. Under this ruling wornor Crapo was made to see that Michigan, which Jags » debit of two hundred and fifteen thousand dol- re, and ix required to raise by direct tax five hundred | seeaae dollars, would have a balance of nearly three red thousand dollars on the wrong side of her figer. There is little doubt that this unexpected phase matter has assumod will materially lessen, at least tho prosent, hor impatience to settle.

During the review of the testimony THE TRIAL OF GRNERAL BRISCOR. ‘Tho Briscoe trial will probably end to-morrow. The . for the accused made an elaborate argument for defence to-day, dwelling with considerable force the military record of Briscoe, who has been in four pitehed battles, numberless skirmishes, has sovoroly wounded four times, and bas bad nine killed ander him. He is lavishly praised for wery by nearly every prominent general of the Army tho Potomac. gThe defence contended that the gov- t had mo right to entice a man into the commis. of a crime aud then punish him for it, and quoted Joseph Holt in support of this opinion. MURVER TRIAL—ACQUITTAL OF THE ACCURED. ‘The trial of Lusby for the murder of the girl Octavius 1, in this city last November, was concluded to- by the sequittal of the prisoner, after eight min- ' ’ deliberation by the jury.

Another medical officer of the above department writes Gaiveston, Texas, on the 90th ult. that there are more than ten indigent negroes in that vicinity re- aid from the government, and it is his impression the negroes will require little help, as the wages aro earning are amply sufficient for their wants. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBEK 21, 1865. ‘The writer had not yet made any observations in the in- terior; but from all accounts therefrom it appears that freedmen are getting along equally well in the upper country. RBXPENDITURES OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT. ‘The expenditures of the Navy Department for the year ending June 80, 1865, amounted to one hundred and twelve millions. The Secretary estimates the expense of the current year at twenty-three millions. THR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS’ SOCIETY. A mocting of the Soldiers and Sailors’ Union was held ‘atthe Union League rooms on Ninth atreet to-night, Four or five hundred were in attendance. General Jim. Lane, of Kansas, delivered quite an impassioned address. General Grant sent s note excusing his absence, and promised to be present at the next meeting of the society. ‘The association is apparently the nucleus of a large and influential brotherhood of ex-soldiers and sailors to be established throughout the country. PASSPORTS. Applications for passports have fallen off rapidly within a few weeks, owing in part to the lateneas of the season, but much more to the reported spread of cholera through Europe. OOMMISSIONER ORTON’S SUCCESSOR. Although Commismoner Orton has not formally re- signed bis position the Secretary of the Treasury has fully decided to appoint the present Assistant Com- missioner, E. A. Rollins, his successor. This announce. ment may be considered official, and is made thus carly to forestall scores of applications that would flow in. ‘ PERSONAL. ‘Thos. P.

We have been shown a fac simile of tho Vand-rbilt medal which Congress voted to be presented to the Com modore as a recognition of his gonerors gi.t to the government of the steamer bearing hia name. Tho model is executed in plaster from the original in posses sion of the engraver, and is what artists call low relief (628 0 reltevo). Asa beautiful specimen of art it is un- questionably the finest ever produced by an American artist. Of its mechanical execution wo cannot yet speak. We understand that the Commodore is highly pleased with the likeness, and considers it even better than the Powers likeness—the medal made for him just Previous to his yacht visit to Europe a few years ago. ‘The medal ts to be of pure guld, of the following de- seription:—Round, three inches in diameter, one-eighth of an inch thick, and will weigh six ounces, The sze of the likeness is two and 9 quarter by one and a half inches; the height of the figure is about one-quarter of an inch. Around the upper half of the circle, over tho bead, is the following inscription, in capital letters: — “A GRATEFUL COUNTRY TO HER GENEROUS SON." At the end of these words, on either side, aro three stars; directly underneath are the words “Cornelius Van- derbiit.”’ On the bottom of the likeness is the name of the artist—S. Ellis, 1865. The artist now engraves his own models, which was formerly done by others. On the reverse side, designed by Leutze, the most Prominent of the figures is Columbia (Juno, the Goddess of Kingdoms and Riches), armed and standing in a defi- ant attitude, holding in her right hand a dagger, with an eagle and a shield at her left. In front is the goddess of the sea, knoeling and prosenting the trident. In the background are seen the perpendicular prow, fore and mizzen masts, wheelhouse, smokestack and ensign of the steamer Vanderbilt. The artist is a native of Vor. mont. He has made the following gold medals for the United States government, viz:— One for Genorals Scott and Taylor, called “the Scott and Taylor medals;” Prosidents Fillmore, Pieros, Bu- cbanan and Lincoln, a cameo likeness of President Polk, ‘a gold medal for the State Department, called the ‘“Bhip- wreck Medal,” and the present one for C. Vanderbilt. He also made the Scott medal for the State of Virginia. He has made cameo and medallion likenesses for many of the most prominent men in the United States. He is now engaged in making 4 medallion likeness of Judge Edmonds. Secretary Seward sent to Minnesota for Mr. Ellis to come to New York and make the Vanderbilt medal, for which he is to receive two thousand dollars, ‘Two modals afo to be struck, one for the Commodore, the other to be deposited in the Library of Congress, The oldest relics of antiquity are the Grecian and Roman coins and medals, and, still older, the Babylonian and Egyptian coins and medals, carvings and pieces of soulpture, Wo are glad to seo a revival of the taste in this country for this kind of art.

THE FENIAN RUBICON CROSSED. PLENTY OF MONEY PLEDGED. The Members of the Congress to Sub- scribe-Half a Million Dollars. THE PAPAL ALLOCUTION. &e. ke. kee Pur.apesrata, Oct, 20, 1860. After protracted revision the secretaries have given instalments of the proceedings of the congress. Noone ‘supposes that the few points they give afford even a clue to the business developments. From the developments thus far delegates say that the most skeptical of the body have become satisfied as to the practicability of the grand undertaking. THE IMPORTANT CRIS PASSED. ‘The preliminary public meeting bespoke a spirited and warm session, Delegates seemed determined to sift everything. For the last day or two there seemed to be @ more placid expression in the faces and more soul in the grasp of the different delegations. The fate of the brotherhoed hangs on the convention, and the close ob- server can see that the crisis is now passed, and mean- while can only await developments, Before the passage of a resolution refusing further applications for mem- bership a delogation from the Lake Super.or region was admitted to seats, FUNDS, Jobn J. Fitzgibbon and Mortimer Scanlan, of the North- western propaganda of Fenianism, having just made a Preparatory canvass there, appear in the convention to pledge the district for one hundred thousand dollars. Roports from the country arrive cheering the conven- tion and promising substantial ratification of their work. It is said that the delegates will open the work by sub. Scr.bing personally half a million dollars. The constitutional revision has important objects. Porson of dubious record or uncommendable traits will probably be frowned down and the mind and thorough- going capacity of Irish America be evoked and placed in the front lines of Fenianism, The inteliectuat and business communities of America will have more reason than ever to hear and speod the Irish war cali THE PAPAL ALLOCUTION in today’s papers was closely examined, and delevates were glad to flud no word in the text associating Fentan- ism with Freemasonry or reflecting on it in any manner to justify such newspaper headings. Dolegates think Papal action impossible. It is said Fenianism is too far on the war path to stop short of the ficid, aud it would be silly to call it back. The illustrated press to-day asked leave to sketch the Congress, but the application received no response Moulders of revolutions may-object to have the r faces in print. Common sense, not vanity, is believed apropos to Fenianism. The dignitlod addroxs and gentlomanty boaring of these Irish roprosentatives give Philadelphians betior opinions Of Irishmen.
