Old regular and graduates ‘of West Point have beon laying their heads together for some time past, and {the resuit hasbeen the framing of a bill which will un- sloubtediy be brought before the next Congress and pro- “bably worked: through, inasmuch as it ts reasonable in every particular. It provides for a standing army of seventy-five thousand men, which will require the ad. dition of twenty-one regiments of infantry, throe regi- yments of cavalry and two of artillery. Any increase in ‘the staff departments is not favored, The pay of gen- eral officers to be reduced, and all officers to receive ‘xed salaries, as in the civil service. The scale of p ¥ contemplated by the bill is, for lieutenant general, five ‘thousand dollars; major general, four thousand; brigadier general, three thousand; colonel, twenty-live hundred, down te second lieutenant, who will receive -one thousand dollars. These salaries are looked ‘wpon as the fuir thing by old officers, although -@onsiderably reduced from the old schedule. Ap effort will be made wo create the grade of 4éenoral and have Grant promoted to it; Sherman to ‘be Lieutenant General, and giving Thomas and Sheridan Brevets to that rank, The war has demonstrated that # man does not need a West Point education to be @ com- < anissary or quartermaster, and it 1s proposed to officer the standing army by graduates who have been em- ployed as such, and to fill their places by old volunteer officers who want them. ‘This is the state of the ‘matter among the regulars, and a powerful effort will be made to push it through. JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE CASE OF J8FF. DAVIS. ‘The friends of Jeff. Davis are denying the statements wregarding the approaching trial of the arch traitor pub- lished in the Hegazy of Saturday on the ground that the Supreme Court, before which it was stated the trial would take place, has not original jurisdiction in cases of treason, They have forgotten that the case may be carvied there by the slow process of appeal through the ‘variotis courts, and also that Congress may, by special sact, give the Supreme Court original jurisdiction in the case. ‘TH PRESIDENT ON THE REBEL DEBTS OF GEORGIA. ‘The following is the text of the communication dated ‘Washington, Oc.ober 28, 1565, and transmitted to his ency James J, Johnson, Provieional Governor of t Mittedyevitle:— Your several telegrams have been received.

There has been little worthy of notice in the move- ments of the friends of Mexican independence for some months, past on this coast until within the last two weeks. A quantity of arms, marked as pianos, &c., found their way into Mexico, via Acapulco, before the French revisited that port, and a cargo went out by an- other route (the precise character of which it is, perhaps not desirable to publish at present) but a few days since, with every prospect of reaching Juarez in person, in a part of the republic where they are most needed and most likely to be of benetit to the liberalcause, Tho old organization known as the ‘‘Monroe League,” which had for its main object the forwarding of men and arms direct from the United states to Mexico, has been abandoned on this coast; but within a few days a new and’ more promising organization, known as the Sons of Columbia, has sprung up in our midst, end is, from all ‘appearances, destined to spread rapidly through the Pacilic States and Territories, delegates having already ‘deen sent out to organize circles in all parts of the coun- try bordering on the Pacific. This organization contem- plates rendering direct aid to the struggling republicans, and also aiding in the enforcement of the Monroe doc- trine throngh the ballot box, by securing the election to Congress and the State and Territorial Legislatures, and other important positions, of persons pledged to uphoid that policy at any cost. It is beyond a question that two- thirds of our population, including all native born Amer- jeans of Spanish or Anglo-Saxon or other descent, are bitterly opposed to the aggressions of France on this continent; and had our people been allowed dur.ng the war to extend the same privileges to the patriouc Mexicans as were freely granted to the invading French, the position of the two parties to-day would have been widely different. However, the Mexi- cans here are still hopeful and determined to carry on the contest to the last, and their friends, now that our own war is over, are active and united. I have em- ployed a party to copy the constitution, ritual and by- lawé of the Order of Sons of Columbia—so far as it is advisable to make it public—for the Hxravp, and will send it, together with other data of interest, to your many readers by the steamer of the 34 of October. T have now to tell you of a circumstance which brings the blush to the check of every patriotic American who hears it. The negotiatidns for a loan of ten millions of dollars in aid of the liberal government of Mexico, specially authorized by the Mexican government and commitied to the charge of the brave General Gaspar Sanchex Ochoa, required his im- mediate presence in New York, and he desired to depart for your side of the continent at once. Appre- hensions were felt by his friends that he might be seized by the French and shot at Acapulco on smoe steamer en- tering that port, and General Halleck was consttited on Murder and Robbery in Baltimore.

It is Lumitiating to think that we have no ado- quate means on this coast for the protection of those who seek asylum under the folds of our national banner; but such is the case; and until the fleet now on the way here from New York arrives we are at the mercy of the Frenchman, who, until the break- ing out of our rebellion, was the most abject and ob- sequious of all the alien strangers tolerated among us. This @ mortifying fact for us to admit, but it isa tact nevertheless.

The banquet was presided over by Mr. Triacca, the President of the Arions, who opened the intellectual part of the proceedings with a highly humorous speech that kept the whole assemb! in laughter.

OUB ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE. Auamany, Oct, 27, 1865. The potitical fleld appears somewhat different as viewed from this standpoint from what it does from yoar city. ‘The news manufactured in republican counties and pro- muigated in New York nas altogether a different phase 46 @ persgn approaches those localities. The democratic leaders here have no troubls in figuring a majority in the State for the ticket headed by General Slocum, and appear to be as cortain as mortals can be of anything ‘that success will attend their efforts. They present many plausible reasons for this belief, It must bo admitted that there ia great force in many of their reasons., In the first place, those men in the radical counties who have heretofore buckled on the political armor and worked early and late to arouse the people and wake them up in readiness for election are now folding their hands, declaring that there is no imsue which they feel any interest in, and do not know as they will take the trouble to vote. This apathy among the republicans exists all through the State, The leaders de- ‘clare that no person cares anything about the success of the ticket, A great effert is being made to stir up an ex- citement by public meetings; but this does not seem to accomplish the object, The speakers, many of whom denounce negro suffrage in New York, are in the rural districts advocating universal negro suffrage, In hopes of awakening some interest in its favor—thus advocating one policy in democratic localities and another in the Tepublican strongholds, The democrats are working zealously, with less noise, it is true, than the republi- cans, but in a more effective manner, In conversing with the radicals in the republican party the indifference is seen everywhere, and is very marked. On all sides they say that Weed is the evil genins of the party, that the suecess of the tcket this fall will be merely an endorsement of him, while its defeat will end Weed’s political career and relieve the Lest § from any further annoyance from him. This they hold is of more value to the party than its success this fall. Holding this view they are letting matters drift. Weed has discovered this fact; Lence his numerous letters and great activity. He is working with extraordinary vigor, feeling that his own prestige is at stake, for with defeat he can no longer be powerful either in the lobby at Albany or at headquarters at Washington ; und thus his services of speculation and jobbing will the Stato be ent off, Even if Weed should carry ticket he will have but slim show with ei Senate or House, His special friends are denouncing bitterly the nomination’ made by the republicans for those positions. If a person were to believe the asrertion of those who are known to be in the confidence of Weed, he could come to no other conelusion than thata majority of the republicans nominated for the Legislature are the greatest scoundrels outside of the State Prison. There is some cange for this bitterness, and where else can it be found except in tho fact that they will not fayor the schemes of the Weed wing of the party? It is a well known fact that ever since the excitement over bleeding Kansas, and the nomination of Fremont io 1856, majority of the churches throughout the State have been s0 many clectioneering machines, where sermons preached during the campaign were all toned and in fact directed toward the one object—the success of the republican party. This year they are silent. The parsons who have heretofore been active in the anti-slavery crusade, and who were eloqnent on that subject, have no interest in this campaign. They are ad- vocates of nogro suffrage, but that not being an issue do not touch political subjects, nor do they follow Beecher in his change of tone. The religions organs of this class, @ the Independent, continue their attacks upon the Ney of the President, and the clergy, waintaining the same views, make no appeals to their flocks that tend to awaken’ an interest in the camy ‘The influ- ence of the churches have heretoiore been the strongest feature of the republican campaign. They have been of tenfold more im ince than all the mass mectings, RY filing, drumming and pipelaying put together, ‘heir silence, therefore, at this time is a great loss to the party, and cannot fail to produce like results. The denunciations of General Siocuin by the repnbli- can press and Weed are strengthening that gallant oflicer every day. The best thing that the friends of the Gene- ww ows enn for him is that Weed will write a letter from now till the day of election denouncing pitts Ae hat the 7: ibune would devolg a column a day of abuse.

It seems very singular that a man whom the republicans were zoulous to piace at the head of their ticket, and who was a may whor they woula have been proud to have placed there, is a villain and a thief as soon ar he accepts the nomination from the hands of the other party.

He said it afforded him mueb, pleasure tv be introduced to his Christian friends in America, In England the Baptists had heard with delight of the prosperity of their brethren in the New World, and be rejoiced at having come to behold that prosperity with his own eyes, The members of the Christian church had before them a wide field of usefulness, and he had to congratulate them upon the work they had already: accomplished. He re- grotted that the congregation he was addressing were mourning the absence of their pastor, and trusted that ere long the Head of the Church would send the commu. nity the clergyman they required, and that thetr fervent prayer would thns be speedily answered.

This beautiful volume of memorial poems will bea welcome addition to every huusehold library, No man who has occupied a high political position among us ever #0 thoroughly endeared himself to the popular heart as Abraham Lincoln. The mmplicity and nobleness of hig character, his unepotted integrity and his genial, kindly deposition rendered him peculiarly fi fitted to deal with the Perplexing difffenitics that beset him throughout the whole of his official career. He seemed, as it were, an instrument specially selected by the Almighty to work out @ phase of the nation’s regeneration, and his martyr. dom formed his crowning claim to an imperishable Tecord among the nation’s bencfactors. The evidence of the depth, the sincerity and the universality Of the appreciation in which his memory ts held by his countrymen, is to be found in the coltec tion of obituary tributes of which this volume ts com- posed. They emanate from writers of neatly every shade of political pinion, including most of the leading names jm American literature. Aithough consisting of several hundred pieces, the collection does not pretend to em- brace all the poetical effusions to which the tragical end of this great and good man gave birth. The editor, Mr. Potts, has selected only those which could lay claim to \terary merit, and he has very properly declined te give it an exclusively national character by admitting a num- ber of the Englivh and Canadian elegies which the event called forth. The publishers have done full justice to the work. It is one of the most elegant volumes that bas emanated from their press. “Compensation and Other Pooms,”’ by Emily Jane May, has been published in London, “Who Is the Heir?’ republished from the Dublin University Magazine, is out in London.
