A deputation of Congregationalists, consisting of the {pastor and sixteen membors of the new church recently vorganized in this City, called upon President Johnson to- ‘4ayén pursuance of resolutions recently adopted by thet ‘ody, and exproasod to him the respectful wish, that he will appoint and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of ‘November next, the day usually observed aunmally by Most of the States of the Union as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God for nis good- mesa unto us a8 o nation, and especially for tthe suppression of the recent rebellion, for the -destruction of slavery—the cause of our civil war—and for the of peace within ‘all our borders, and to offer devout supplications that He still would keep us, ashe has done in all our mational history and trials, under His divine guardianship, and inspire al! our rulers anit people to deat jnstly, love mercy, and walk humbly before Mim; and tendering to President Johnson their prayers that hoe may, in the dis- -obange of the high and solomn duties which Providence Shas devolved upon him, be sustained by the God of our ‘athers and be guided by that wisdom which comes down from above. Rev. B. F. Morris, the pastor, in bis ad- dress, said:—In common with all the churchos of this City and throughont the land, it is the aim of the church society we represent, through the benign doctrines. and infuonces of the Christian religion, to add much ‘atrongth to the administration of the government an ‘to diffuse those Christian and patriotic principles which ‘constitute the true life and moral glory of nations, We sincerely invoke, Mr. President, the God of Washington and the God of Abraham Lincoin, who the nation pro- ‘foundly bolievos wore aided and guided by God in thoir respective works, the one to found and the other to pre- servo our frec institutions, to direct, uphold and bless ‘you in the administration of the goveramont and to en- able you aud your official advisers and helpers to recon- strvotand re-establish our civil institutions on the foun- «dation 0° righteousness, and so receive the crowning and perpetual blessing of Almighty God, and our precious in- horitance of liberty and religion be tranamitted to coming grperations, “The Prosident, in reply, observed that whatever he seould say on this occasion must necossarily be a recapi- tulation of what he had previously uttered. Ho, how- ever, tendered, his profound thanks for the expressions of the church and the so¢loty, and remarked that he should be guided by the same principles of right and justice which ho had frequently publicly declared, and which lay at the foundation of all good government, and of which religion constituted a vital and important part. SMedho.ld oxert himself to the utmost to turn the poli- stical tides into such channels a3 would be best calculated, ‘to preserve our honor and the national integrity. ‘The mombors of the commission were individually fu- ‘Produced to the President, and atter a short time spent fm conversation they retired. TUR LABOR QUESTION IN VIRGINIA, The ¢ciored population of Clarke county, Va., are re- “ported to have become considerably aroused and excited ‘by reuson of the injudicions statements of some of the landowners of that section claiming that the right tofix a price for the labor of the Diack will rest alone with the employer. The colored population are apprehensive ‘that their labor is to be exacted morely under another form, bet no lees absolute and dependent than it was ander the slave code, and are consequently restlossly eager to learn the truth of the matter. MBLPLYSS NEGRORS IN CHARGE OF THE PRERD- MEN'S BUREAU. “The medical department of the Freedmen's Bureau sestimato that it has about seven thousand sick and help. des negroes under its care and treatment throughout the Southern Staves, the number of such dependents averag- ing about six hundrod to each State, RKPORT OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE FREEDMEN’S BUKKAU, It is understood tbat Major General Howard, upon his return from the South, will immediately enter upon the preparation of the report of the operations of the Freed- men's Burcau. A good share of the data necessary to the compilation of that document 1s now being prepared im the bureau, and his extended examination of the prac- ‘tacal oporation of the agents of the Burcau in the South ‘will furnish the materia! requisite for its completion. AVELICATIONS FROM DISADLBD BOLUIERS AND OTHERS POR CLRRKSAIPS. The pressure upon the Treasury Department for ap- poinimeonts for clerkships is alarmingly upon the in- crease, notwithstanding repeated notifications t the public that no vacancies existed. Every mail brings an ‘addition to the pile already accuma@iated, Most of the appliganta are discbarged officers or privates, and very Uwely im every way deserving the appointments; bat the yplacee do not exist. The tecretary of the Treavury can- wot create them. He already has more employes than the diminishing business of his department wil! warrant «therefore, instead of urging the appointment of others, apitein demanding the discharge of half the present ember, and thereby leswen the expenditures of the general «government. The Treasury Department now employs sixteen hundred and three clerks, ‘fifiy-threc monsengers, cighty-four laborers and thirty-aine watchemen, besides Mr. Clarke's bureau, whioh bas two hundred and eighty-elght males and two ‘hundred and thirty-seven females, The total force is ‘two thousand and sixty-seven males and seven hundred ‘and fourteen females, of two thousand seven hundred and ocighty-one in all. The number is frightful, and ust be reduced instead of increased. At the Interior Department, in common with the athera, the applications for clerical employment ere mainly from disabled soldiers of the fedoral army, and antares practicable they are afforded places. There eannot be vacancies in the departments for maay more appointments from eltuer civil or military life, so that it will not be wise to risk the chancea of failure or success by eecking Washington from » distance in the elmost vain bope of getting s living in the departments, PARDONS, Among the pardoned to-day were Dr. McDowall, of St. ‘Louta, » pestilent secession newspaper contributor at the Weginning of the war; thé rebel Major General J. 1. Kemper and Brigadier General Frost, of Fort Jackson, Missourl, notoriety at the commencement of the rebel- tion, end 6x-Comgressman J. M. Curry, of Alabama, A notice was posted, giving s list of eighty or ninety yperecan whone pardons were ready for delivery at the ftate Department. Among them were William. P. and Robert J. Breckinridge and W. C. Bullock, of Kentucky. SOUTHERNERS AP THR PRESIDENTIAL MANSION. ‘Thore wise large crowd of Sonthernere at the Kxe- ~@ntive mansion to-day.

APPLICATION BY A PARDONED REBEL POR THE RESTORATION OF IS PROPERTY. Colonel Jolin W. Fairfax, of Loudon county, ex-chiet -of the rebel General Longatreet’s staff, and who recoived = special pardon from the President a short time since, has forwarted the necessary documents to secure the rentitation of his property in tne above county, now held ‘by the Freedmen's Bureau, and which is known as the Monroe estate. THE GUERILLA MORBY. ines the execytion of Champ Ferguson, at Nashville, certaih “partion hore, who are familiar with Colonel Moaby's war history, are interesting themerives with a view to bringing the latter to what NEW YORK! HWRALD, ‘TUKSDAY, OUTOBER 24, 1865. thay call justice. They allege that Mouby, although « rose colored, gentlemanly srt of villain, was guilty of guerilla atrocitivs which would have made Champ Ferguson blush. They claim to have names of ex-rebel officers among the list of witnesses, wherewith to prove imbuman crimes upon the Virginia THE VETERAN RESELVE CORT. Tn consequence-perbaps of the raising of money and other organized efforts to prevent tho mustering out of the Voteran Resorve corps by the noxt Congress, it ta said the authorities have fully decided to dispose of the Corps before that body meets, Genoral Fry and othor friends of the corps seem to have ovormeaghed them- solves, and to have precipitated by — thelr own conduct the very action they desired to Prevent. Mr. Stanton’s answer to a rgoont application for @ commission in that corps was, that ‘“‘bofore the com. ‘mission could be made out and forwarded to the appli- cant the corps would cease to exist." Genoral Grant is also gnderstood to favor the muster out of all troops excepting the regular army, 1 this should prove inade- quate to the exigencies of the future, Congress can in- crease it from time to time, A controlling reason with the Recretery of War and General Grant probably ts that the privates of tlie Veteran Reserve cotpa universally dé- sire to be mustered out, and the officers as unanimously oppose it, As the latter's disinterestedness Is not above suspicion, their recommendations have less weight. THB CONVERSION OF COMPOUND INTEREST NOTRS. It is believed that the amount of fifty million dollars of five-twenty bonds, as recently advertised by the Secro- tary of the Treasury, has all beon taken by the conver- alen of compound intérest notes and other interest-bear- THE NEW GOLD CERTIFICATES. Considerable talk is heard about the Hanato's state- ment that the Treasury Department were about to issue Gold certificates to be used as coin in the payment of duties, Many infatuated persons look upon it as a scheme to pay the intorest on five-twenties and sixes of 1881 in paper. The “goldbacks” are simply certificates to be exchanged for gold, dollar for dollar, and are in- tended to relieve importers and others who have been required to handle hundreds of pounds of coin monthly from @ great portion of the risk and trouble. The larger denominations of notes will be made payable to the order of the gold depositor, and will bo exquisitely ongraved, after some of Darley’s designs, thus defying alike the counterfeiter and the thief. They ‘will receive the signatures of the Treasurer and Register here, and will be countersigned by Sub-Treagurer Van Dyck at New York.

Judge Wylic, of the District Court, after consideration, has refuced to allow District Attorney Carrington to cnter a ndlle pros. in the case of Lusby, indicted for rape upon the hittle Rousseau girl. The District Attorney is quite Orm in the opinion that he can prove nothing against Lusby since the unusually intolligent jury refused to convict him of murder in the same case. Quite an exciting scene occurred in court to-day over this question, The Judge directod a bench warrant to be fasued for Lusby, and fixed bail at two thousand dollars. The District Attorney refuses to prosecute, and the Judge ad- vises Lim to resign. The outrage and murdor of tho girt was a dasturdly affair, and all attempts to bring the per, petrator to justice are praiseworthy; but the opinion is that the Lusby trial has been pursued far onoygh.

Is National Bank Stock Subject to Taxation by the State? - Decision of Chief Justice Denio, of the Court of Appeals, in Throc Important Cases. The Question Decided in the Affirmative. ke &, eo. Im the Court of Appeals. ‘The City of Ution vs. G. Clarence Churchill and Others— Adam Van Alien ve, Michack 4, Nolan and Others, the Boord F Amewors of the Cityef Altany—Chawncey P. Williams and Others ws. the Same. Damo, C. J.—The appeals in these three cases were heard together, and the general question in each is, whether the shares of the stockholders in the banking associations created under the acta of Congress which Provide for the creation of national banks can be sub- fected to taxation by State authorities, In the first case the institution whose stockholders were taxed was estab- lished on the éth of January, 1864, with a capital of ‘$200,000, the whole of which was invested in the securi- ties of the public debt of the United States, ‘The plain- tifts and other sharcholders were taxed by the Common Council of tho city of Utica, in September, 1864, as for so much personal property as their tive shares in the stock of pomplsrgech fee nted. Tethe aecond cree the iatinniee is the a National or ko Sepa a established February, with @ ca $800,000, tho whole of whicivand a” considerably. sum is invested in similar national securities. Its shareholders, of whom the plaintiff is one, were asseased. upon the respeotive amounts of their shares between the months of April and September in the present year. In the romaining cage the institution is the National Alban} Exchange Bank, and it was oztablished in January, 1866, with capital of $300,000, all of which is invested in fed- oral securiiies. The plaintif is a shareholder, and, with ‘the other shareholders, has been taxed during tho pres- ent year in the same manner as in the other cases. The defendants in these two actions are the individuals who constitute the Board of Assessora of the city of Albany. pe of the three actions came before a eo upon cases agreed uj pursuant to the 800 tion of the Code of Procedure, for the purpose of doter- mining whether the parties who had been assessed and taxod were legally liable to such taxation. The plain- {fis proceeded in behalf of themselves and ull other stook holders of their respective banks. In the first case the decision of the Hupreme Court was that the plaintiff Churobif was Hable to the tax, his residence be ng in the First ward of the city of Utica, iu which ward the bank was located; and that the other plaintifis were not liable, on account of their, residence being without that ward. Judgment was given accord- Inely, and costs were awarded to the prevailing parties In the two other cases the taxes were adjudged to bo illegal, and_ judgment was given in favor of the respeo- tivo plaiatifs; and it directed that the names of the several stockholders be stricken from the assessment Tolls. Appeals have been taken to this court. by all the Parties againat whom: the judgments were rendered, There are some questions which are not common to all these banks. In the firs¢ case the bank was estab- Itshed, and the taxes which are challengod were im- posed, prior to the Knabling statute of this state, which was passod and became a law on the 9th day of March, 1865, Only onc of tho pluintifis rosided in the ward of the city of Utica in which the bank is altuated. The princip'es which have thus far been stated show that he was k ly taxed. Uf the other parties in another ward of the city, one in the same county, another in another county of the State, and the rowaining one in tho jot of Columbia. Pr.or to the Enabling act our laws required that the taxation of persoval propery Pail be in the town or ward in which tho taxpayor poridos, I wag at first inclined to the opinion that thy provision of the national banking law 90 often referred to might be considered ax change of our owp law, and might bo sustained on account of its relation to the ational banka, which aro within the sphore of federal legislation, On further reflection I have concluded that it would be more correct to bold that the effect of the proviso is to it the States so to shaps laws of taxation, or x all tho shareholders at the place whore the bank ‘8 situated, ne has been done by the Enabling act, It fol lows tlint the jndgment of the Supromo Court in favor of the plaintif against William Churchill should be affirmed, hoes the jud, rr in cg gp coy ag ol = that caso should likewise be affirm in efondanta ys io bank waa establ'shed prior the pamage o Kuabling act just nen toned, and alan pri Cae.
