Probable Resignation of the Chief of the Freedinen’s Bureau. &e. &e, &e, ‘Wasuincton, May 20, 1666. ‘THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS IN THE SENATR, To-morrow is the day fixed by the Senate for taking ‘ap the constitutional amendments reported by the Re- -construction Committee and already passed by the House, It is safe to say that the proposed amendments ‘will not pass the Senate in their present form. Especial objection will be taken to the famous third section, which asks the South to disfranchise itself until 1870; ‘but whether it wil! be modified or wholly stricken out ‘cannot be at present foretold. Very little interest is manifested by any ono in the approaching debate and “contest. A lethargy more alarming than high excite- mont is generally visibie. AN EX-OFFICER ON AFFAIRS AT THE SOUTH.

Weekly Exports From New York Since January 1, 1864. The exports of specie from this port for the week end- {og on Saturday last amounted to eight million seven hundred and sixty-threo thousand two hundred and ninety-five dollars, by far the largest shipment ever made in the same period of time previously, and three hundred and eighty-two thousand nine hundred and twenty-five dollars more than the tetal export of the year up to May 12. The weekly exports of treasure from the port since January 1, 186%, to May 19, 1966, have been as follows :— Weeks, 3, 042,308 2.079.215 22d... 1,707,600 23d...,,2}008,823 THE FLYING SQUADKON. The United States steamer Winooski has saited from Eastport under orders for Portland, there to await fur- ther orders from the Navy Department. The De Soto, Captain Boggs, arrived at this port yes- terday morning, thus completing the withdrawal of the United States squadron from the scene of Fenian agita. TOW pngress continue. politics. Despair first seized: them, whicl givon way to total indifference. If the troops had been “withdrawn as soon after the surrender as practicable, or, at all events, had been congregated in large bodies in towns accustomed to their presence, it woul e occasioned m4 ill-feeling among the people, A plain statement of ‘the demands of the government at that time would have received atiention and been instantly accorded. But the ‘troops were scattered through the country until they ave embittered the people thoroughly, Now that they are withdrawn from many places, the fruits of that policy are left rankling behind them. Tue refusal of Congress to admit such representatives as could take the test oath has also discouraged the ‘would-be loyal men of the South. For God's sake, if ‘these are Territories jet us bave good Territorial govern- ments; if beer 3 are States give them the rights they deserve for acting up to the full requirements of the President in good faith, CONTEMPLATED RESIGNATION OF GENERAL HOWARD. A rumor is current in the city that General Howard iis considering the propriety of resigning his position as Uhoad of the Freedmen’s Bureau. He is probably dis- ‘Batishod with the acts of his subordinates, and feels pow- eriess to correct the abuses of the institution. As a con- acientious man and officer, he is quite likely to throw up such a thankless position. ‘A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE NATIONAL BANK- ING LAW. The Committee on Banking and Currency have agreed to recommend an amendment of our present National Banking law forbidding disbursing officers of the gov- -ernment to deposit the public funds in their possession fn any national banks when the Treasury or any Sub- ‘Troasury is within their reach and can be used instead.

Th» political guillotine ts slowly making its asconding ‘and descending strokes; but, as tho working capacity of the machine becomes tested with use, it i believed that ft will be worked with greater celerity from month to month. A number of important decapitations have ‘already been made and many others are contempiated. THE CLERKS OF THE DEPARTMENTS. Some time ago the House of Representatives callod cupon the heads of the several departments for informa- Lon respecting the clerks and others therein employed. ‘The responses thua far received show that the number employed in the Attorney General's office is seven, none of whom were m the Union army. In the Navy Depart- ‘ment there are sixty-seven, twenty of whom served in ‘the army or navy during the jate war. Of the six hundred and thirty in the office of the Secretary of the Interior and the several bureaus connected with that department, one hundred and cighty-six were tn the Union army. ‘The Post master General states there are in his department one hundred and sixty males and thirty-nine females; of the former thirty-nine have served in the Union army, and ail, te says, have taken the test oaths without al teration or explanation.

Panis, May 4, 1966. The annual Art Exhibition opened on Tuesday last, at the Palais d’Industrie, and art critics generally agree that its character may be expreased by the words ‘‘pass- able mediocrity.” Among the three thousand pictures there are not more than half a @ozen that can lay any laim to “greatness” or originality. There are the usual number of nude women, in all possible positions; seve- ral battle pieces, mythological pictures and lanscapes without number. There are two lovely pictures, by Corot, remarkable for that hazy softness which he gives to all his works, A ‘Cleopatra. before Cwaar,"’ by Gerome, which does not come up to the standard of this great artist's previous works, such as “Phryne before the Tribunal.’ The figure of Cleopatra is hard and wood-ny. This picture was painted by Gerome as a panel for the house of tho celebrated Mar- chioness de Paiva, on the Champs Elysees, but 1 under- stand that she refuses to take it, considering the price demanded (forty thousand francs) too high. Couture does not exhibit, ueither does Diaz, nor Rosa Bonbeur. Gustave Dor’ has two oil paintings and two do- signs which fully sustain his reputation as a wonderful originator. Doré has jnst taken a large gymnasium in the Rue Bayard, and fitied it up agan a/elier, in which he is preparing to paint some immense pictures, In 4 conversation with a friend a fow days since, Doré, in referring to the charge fre- quently made against him, that he is a mechanical work- man, and not an artist, stated that he intended working on some large pietares, and to erect a building on tho Champs de Mars, outside the exhibition buildiag, among the mechanical apparatas, where he can exhibit his pic- tures a specimens of “mechanical art." ‘The first picture which strikes the eye of tho risitor upon eutering the salle d’Ronnewr this yoar is ae im- mense canvas by Edouard Bubufe, The scene is im the life of the “Prodigal Bon,” at the period of his retarn. The faces, like those of Couture, in bis grand picture of the “Roman Orgie,"’ im the Luxembourg, aro very Pa» risian in their cast, and there ig a clearness and bril Jancy about the whole work that fm part compensates for its rather ‘scenic’? character. The picture ts said to have been purchased by a wealthy American. Upon the whole, however, I should say ttt the jury had been very liberal, and that it was searcaly worth while to have rejected poor Holtztapel’s pictures, and cause him to blow his brains out therefor; or Fagnani’s portrait of the Marquis de Boissy, which latter, some wag says now was simply refused because it was @ “speaktng’’ portrait, and as “‘speaking”’ is tho great forte'and fault of the ec- centric Marquis, itis not strange that the jury should not desiro to encourage them further; He threatens to exhibit his portrait and Holtztapel's pictures together. Several American artists have pictures im the salon, and two or three were among the great unappreciated. May exhibits an excotient portrait of Laboulaye, painted for the Union Club of New York. May as jut gone to Geneva to paint a picture of the Count de Gasparin as a pendant to Laboulaye. Robertson exhibits a portrait of Sir Henry Boughton. Woodbury Langdon, of New York, has » couple of pretty sea views. Ware, of Boston, has two charming little pictures, one the “Little Mill of Cernay,’ and the other » picture of Irish shanties in the upper part of New York. This young artist, «close student of Daubigny, is acquiring mauch of his delicacy of touch and softness of colur, Atmong the “designs” the only American exhibitor is Mins Elma Gove, who bas @ charminz crayon head of Mrs, James Chesterman, of Now York, which sttracts mach attention for the perfection of ite modelling.

An immense congregation assembled at this handsome eburch in Forty-second street yesterday, to hear the de hghtfui Paschat Mag of Lambillotte sung with am orchoa- tral accompaniment. The choir consists of Miss Terosa Wernek, soprano; Mrs. Holbrvok, contralto; Mr. Duclos, tenor, and Mr, Werneke, basso, Thay wore assisted you torday by Mra, Borge, Mra. Bator, Mr, Hern and Dr. Mo Gowan as an extra quartet, and Dodworth's orchestra of eighteen pieces, Mr. Gleason, organist of tho church, con. ducted the mass and presided at the organ. The latter in strument fs bat a sorry alfair, and it roilects much credit on the musical abilities of Mr. Gleason that he managed to give such an excellent organ accompaniment to the mass and incidental pisces. Ths maas is a auperb work of orchestration, especially in the Kyrie, Sanctus and Agnus. The Kyrie commences in D minor, in a Jo gr, plaintive movement, changing to « dashing a/lgr ‘The Gloria opens with a charming duct for the Mute and violin, then for soprano and alto, a thome which a1 | be popular oven if sang in « concert hail The Dymin: Deus, a wprano solo, preceded by a beautifut air for the flate, and the Quoniam for the bass, with accompanying clarionets, horns, bautboys and flutes, are othor striking features in this work.

The At Incarna'us, sung by Miss Worneke, is a genuine emana tion of © dramatic genius and a musical sou) In the Crucifews a baw solo, the effect of the violon calli tremolos down in the depths of the orchestra, is particularly beautiful. The bass solos ia the Henedictus and Agnus Dei are also remarkable for melody and the coloring of the accompaniment. In fact, the mass be- longs to the melodic school of sacred music; for even in the finales Lambillotte persists in introducing some new theme. It is not massive and grand as the Twelfth Mass, or Becthoven's in, but it is more Uke the music of Mendelawohn—light, sparkling and gracefal—than that of any other composer we kaow of At the sermon the Ave Maria from Lurline, and at the . ® ral Wediows and tey'ng work © Ttomaet, Ama Pirg, weve Sink Regarding the execution of these works by the double quartet choir, it is ouly mecensary to mention that the vocalists were nearly all from the Mendolasobn Union, to decide on their metity The orchestra and organ parts were excellent in every respect.

Mr Macarthy, pastor of the church, celebrated high mass, and Bishop Lynch, of Chariestoa, 4. C., preached at the Gospel. SIXTH AACRED CONCERT AT IRVING WALL. Irving Hail was crowded last evening almost a+ much as at the Choral Festivals on occasion of the sixth of the popular sacred concerts. Miss Fanny Storkton sang “He was Despised and Rejected of Meo," from the Mes- siab, and en Ave Maria admirably. Her voice last night was splendid, ant entitied ber to ® place among the many distinguished native artists who have appeared in the metropolis this season. Mr. Morgan's ducts, wih Mr. Coby for organ and pianoforte—a Meditation, “First Pretade,” by Bach, and an ‘Adagio, by Kalliwoda— were admirably rendered. The piano on this occasion blended hetter with the organ than when we last beard these two instruments together. Mr Car phell ang an O Silutarin, by Ritwr, Thiet solo just suited the fine baritone voice of Mr Campbell, and he dd it full fustios.

CONFERENCE AT THE NORTH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. A conference was held last evening at the North Pres- byterian church, corner of Thirty-first street and Ninth avenue. The attendance was very large, but several speakers were absent who were expected to address the assemblage. The Rev. Thos. Street, pastor of the church, addresse@ the meeting at considerable length, principally referring to the prospects of the future union of all the Christian churches. The Rev. Mr. Voss, of the Method- ist church, regretted that, for such an audience, there were not more gentiemen to address them, as the anb- Ject was one which should be uppermost in the hearts of all. H» then dwelt forcibly upon the system of caste which, he said, existed to a foarful extent in both Asia and ‘and was the means of rendering it almost im- bie totroduce Christianity into those countries. 1e system of caste was the most powerful obstacle in the world to the of truth and Christianity. It wag the impudent flinging of a lie in the face of God, 2 unfortunately, there was a great deal of it in this |. What sort of a war raged through this land for four years but a war on that same issue? This war, which bad cost thousands of millions, and, worse than ali, rivera of blood, was a war which had been com- meuced and had been od in the interest of this in- fernal spirit of caste, which held down millions of fellow creatures in dreadful and deplorable bondage, But a Just God had written, in letters of tire and biood, that this spirit of caste should be wiped away, and wretched beings were emancipated and set free. But what was the trouble down South now? Why, it was the remains of that infernal spirit of caste which was stil! in the breasts of those who were late!: still unwilling to acknowledge spirit had to be battled with, and, wish to offend any one, he wax there to say that the conflict should be waged to the end. All this excitement nbout reconstruction rested entirely upon the seitiement of this question. God, who had created the blacks to be our fellow men, had gtvem us this work to do, and ho (the speaker) was sure that harmony could never again be restored until tho black man was given all his rights—-ti!! the gospel should be proached and the truth taught to the meanest inhabitant of the land.
