WASHINGTON. General Dix and His Two Commissions. ‘THE CASE OF JEFF DAVIS. Persistent Refusal of Chief Justice Chase to Bring Him to Trial. Alleged Sharp Practice of Secretary Zarlan. Execution of a Contract for the Sale of 800,000 Acres of Indian Lands to New England Capitalists. PROTEST OF THE INDIAN TRIBE. &. &e. &e. Wasuinatox, Sept. 28, 1866, “General Dix as Naval Oficer—The French Mission. Major General Dix arrived here this morning, and had an early interview with the President, Subsequeatly he repaired to the office of the Commissioner of Customs, ‘filed his official bond as Naval Otlicer at the port of New York and received his commission to that office. During the day he bad interviews with the Secretary of the ‘Treasury and other official personages. To-night ho is fully invested with the powers and authority of Naval Officer, thus settling the vexed question as to which of the appointments tendered to him he will accept; but thero is reason to believe that his tenure of office as Neval Officer will be but temporary. In official circles the opinion prevails that the i'rench mission will be held in abeyance for the Generai’s acceptance at a future day, when the purposes for whicu the naval office was given ‘him shall be accomplished, The Case of Jef Davis, ‘The probab lities of the trial of Jeff Davis at the ap- proaching term of the United States Court appointed to be held at Richmond, Va., next month, are excling considerable attention; but it is not at all likely that any trial will take place at that time, and this for the sane reasons that have actaated Chief Justice Chase hitherto in refusing to take up the case, Some time ago the Chief Justice, in an interview with the President, ex- pressed doubte as to the full bearing of the President's peace proclamation, and manifested some fear that it did not fully remove martial law. He was willing, however, that Judge Underwood should proceed to hoid uterm of the District Court as an experiment, and in case there was no military interference he would go down and hold a term of the Circuit Court. The Disttict Court was held and considerable business was trausacted, all its mandates and processes being respected and obeyed pre- chsely a8 in the Northorn States; but Judge Chase stiil declined to hold a term of the Circuit Court, At a re- - cent conference between the Chief Jnatice, Judge Under: ‘woot! and other oflicials of the judictal branch of the gov- ernment, another objection was discovered to the holding of Uuis court, The legislation of the last session of Con- Rresa is considered so to have aflected the cour! that the adjournod session appointed to be bold next month cannot legaHy be held. Howover this may be, it is luoked upon by the ontside public as @ persistent effort to shirk the responsibility of the trial of Mr. Davis. Prior to the application that was made some mouths ago for a writ -of habeas corpus for the purpose of bringing Mr. -Davis before the civil courts, some interviews were had with tho President im regard to the matter, when ‘be distinctly infermed the judicial authorities that no interference whatever would be put forth by the military authorities with the execution of the writ were one danced. It was then contended that, should the courts aake the prisoner from the custody of the military santhoritiee, they had no secure place in which to confine him, ‘The President thon tendered to them the use of Fortress Monroe as @ prison for that purpose, Never- ‘theless the application for the writ was refused. Hence it must appear that all the respousitility for holding Mr. Davis without trial rests with the Chief Justice, Judge Underwood and the officials of the United States Court for the Cirouit and District of Virginia. One of Secretary Harian’s Last Official Acts. On the 20tb of August last, the last day but one that he held the position of Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Harlan executed a contract on the part of the govern- ment by which the reserve lands of the Cherokee Indians in the State of Kansas, consisting of 600,000 acres, said to be the best lands in Kansas, were sold to iho Connecticut Emigrant Society for one dollar per acre. These lands were ceded to the United States by the Cherokee Indians in article 17 of the treaty recently con- cluded with thia tribe, which stipulates that the lands should be surveyed under the direction of tye Commis- sioner of the General Land Office and appraised by two appraisera, one to be designated by the Cherokee National Council and one by the Secretary of the Interior, aud, tu cave of disagreement, by a third person, to be selected by the first two, the appraisement to be not lers than on average of one dollar and a quarter per acre, exclusive of improvements, As the lands were surveyed the Secretary of the Interior was to advertise for sealed bids for the sale of the same, and the lands wero to be sold to the ighest bidder for cash, in parcels not excoeding one Dbondred and sixty acres, and at not less than the appraised value, provided that where there are improvements of the value of fifty dollars made on lands that are not min- eral lands, owned and occupied by any person for agri- -oultural purposes, at the time the treaty was signed, guch persons afler duo proofs may be entitled to buy et the appraised valae the sinaliest quantity of iand in legal subdivisions, which wil include his improvements, not exceoding in the aggregate one hundred and sixty acres, and pro- vided that nothing in the articie shall prevent the Secre- tary of the Interior from selling the whole of the Innds in a body to any responsible porty for cash for » sum not less than $800,000. For this laud, known as the “Neu- tral Land,” the Cherokees paid the United States Gov- ermmeut $600,000 in gold in the year 1935. Sine then tt has increased in value tos considerable exient. At Present there are a number of settlements vpon |t, and the Kansas Railroad from Kansas City, by way of Fort Scott, and the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Fort Gibsun Ratiroad both run through it, The agreement made with tho American Bmi,rant Company of Connecticut 's to the eflect that this whole tract of neutral land shal) be sold to said company at the rate of $1 per acre, to be paid to the Secretary of the Taterior, im trust for the Cherokee Indians, ¢ as follows —$25,000 on the exeou- tion of the articles of agreement, $25,000 on the approval of the surveys of the land by the Commissioner of the Genera! Land Office, $26,000 on the 30th of August, 1867, $75,000 on the 90th of August, 1568, $76,000 on the 20th of August, 1969, $75,000 on the 20th of August, 1870, and $100,000 per annam thereafter until the whole sum shall be paid, each of the several sums to draw interest at the rate of five per cent per annum from the dats of the approval of the surveys, The United etatee agree to have the land surveyed and to convey to the company by patent, whenever requested so to do, #0 moch of the land as may be paid for, one acre for every dollar paid; bat the privilege is granted to the company, if they so desire to make pay- ments at earlier periods than those indicated, or to pay the whole sum, principal and imterest, amd receive the Utle, The representatives of the Cherokee Nation have protested against (his transaction, on the ground, first, of its clear violation of the terms of the treaty, which prescribe that the land shall be sold for cash to the thighost bidder, after advertising for bide for the same; and, second, because of the almost porminal price ob- tained for the lands, Thoy also ask that the sale be set “ Tt ix alleged, with how much trath PF make no prevensions to knowing, that Mr, Harlan ie interested in the Conneetiont Emigrant Society, The mater is now andorgoing legal examination, and it is probable that the couirnet of sale will be aot aside.

Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Moore, Quartermaster United States Army, recently went to Richmond, Virgi- nia, to inspect the several places where the federal dead are buried. The national cemeteries at Cold Harbor aud Seven Pines, the nearest cemeteries to Richmond, have received the number of bodies allotted to them, and the Object of the inspection was to devise a pian to decorate apd take proper care of the graves of Union sol- diers now buried in and around Richmond, The ro- mains were found to be so much scattered, buried ag they were in groups or by single Individuals, that it was deemed impracticable to give them the requisite atten- tion, besides the graves of those men buried in the old cemeteries at Oakwood and Holywood do not appear to have received the same amount of care that has been be- stowed on the other graves In these cemeteries, and aro situated in obscure and neglected corners, The graves situated on Belle Isle require that prompt action should be taken to secure them from obliteration, as the ground occupied by them is overflowed with water whenever the river rises. ‘To purchase Dural lots in Oakwogd and Holy wood cemeteries saficiently large to receive the re- mains of our soldiers there buried it is thought would be more expensive than to purchase a tract of ground for this purpose. A site has accord. ingly been selected on high ground overlooking the city, containing five acres, which will be the national cemetery at Richmond. The number of bodies that will be interred here is estimated at between five and six thousand. The work of laying out the cemetery and Preparing the ground to receive the remains has been commenced, and is progressing rapidly towards comple- tion. Pardoned. The President bas directed the pardon of Peter Repp, convicted at the Septembor term, 1865, of the United States Circuit Court for the Northern District of Ohio of passing counterfeit currency, and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. The pardon has also been ordered of Benjamin F. Clark, convicted at the April term of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware of passing counterfeit money, and sentenced to impris- onment for one year, Tho President has also pardoned, under the Amnesty proclamation, David Irwin, ot Texas, J. W. Moore and Jason R. Frank, of Kentucky, and J. Jackson, of Georgia. The Revenue Law—Informers’ Fees. Doubts having been expressed as to whother the schedule of informers’ fees described in the e'reular of instructions tasued by the Treasury Department on August 14, 1866, is to be applied to proceeds resulting from forfeitures as well as to penalties, the schedule is declared to be and to have been from the time of issue, applicable to all informers’ shares of fines, penalties, forfeitures and proceeds of forfeitures accruing under the provision of the Internal Revenue law cited in the above mentioned circular.

The Bounty Question, The Second Auditor of the Treasury decides that where the widow of a soldier married again prior to July 28, 1866, she Js not entitled to additional bounty under the act of Congress of that date. ‘The order of the Payniaster General excluding claim agents from presenting and prosecuting claims of dis- charged soldiers for extra bounty under the recent act of Congress does not apply to the presentation of this class of claiius in the Second Auditor's office.

Ristor: has not relaxed her hold upon the sympathies of the public, Familiarity with her superb command of her art only incroases (fe pleasure with which her efforts are Witnessed. Her audiences learn to appreciate her, asthoy have more opportunity to study her perfoct representation of the parts which she assumes, Last Bight Mary Stuart was produced for the third timo since the Queen of Tragedy made her début, and so far from there being any relaxation of interost or cnthusiagm, the andience was perhaps the most appreciative of any sineo the season commenced, Iu point of fashion, and measared by the standart of the haut ton ax usually represented in the theatres, the assembly last night probably had the advantage of any Preceding evening. The tribute paid to Ristori in the ‘Metropolis of the country, we are giad to observe, is fully Commensurate with her merits, and furnishes an ample endorsement of the reputation which crowned her career in Europe. That she has to employ a foreign language is no obstacle to the thorough comprohen- siow of tho story sho interprets, for her language is Ghat of nature, and of the heart, It is @ langwago that speaks in every gosture, every fash of the eye, every motion of the expreasive face, breathing genius in all it changing aspects. Thus, through the most impressive scones, where the character of Mary Stuart and the saddest episodes ia hor history are most prominently bronght before us, the ‘universal language of sorrow—of pride humbled yet de- flant—of jealousy concealed, not subdued; of resignation wrung from a heart tortured with submission— is no longer a strange tongue; for we compre- hend in every word and movement the sublime picture before us. In this wonderful capacity of Ristori we dis- cover the true secret of her success. In France, in Eng- land, in Germany, In Ruswia, a8 to-day in America, she spoke the language of Italy; but in all countries alike, the language of nature, as interpreted by her, became as universal as nature itself, It 1s in truih art speaking through nature, and nature sublimely interproted by art. Gifted with such a cspacity, it would be imposai- ble for Ristori to fail of success in that most exalted attri- bute in an artiste, he power of absorbing the individuality of the actress in the portraiture of the character she represents. Thus we see Medea and Mary Stuart, and Jose tho identity of Ristori, and thus we are prepsred to 8e@ Queen Elizabeth, Judith, Lady Mac! , Phidre and Adrienne Lecouvreur, as they will be presented to us in the impersonation of these roles by this great artiste, Paolo Giacometti’s historical play of Elizabetta, with all its familiar incidents, will be produced on Mon- day night, This drama was written for [istori, and when presented to an Engligh audience created an intense sensation.
