The Senate aud the New Treaty. ‘Fhe preeent temper of the Senate is agaiust the ratid- ation of the Rustian-American treaty. The whole sub. Jeet, however, will be thoroughly discussed. ‘The Business Before the Se To-Day. No Bominations were made by the Preaident to-day to ‘he Senate. It is understood that the Senate was engaged, during the greater part of to-day’s sitting, in discussing the merits of Governor Bradford’, of Maryland, who bas been nominated to the post of Surveyor of the Port of Baltimore. Gathering at the White House. Ad the White House to-night were bankers, ex-bankers, ‘Pevators, members and ex-members, waiting their tara for ap interview witb the President Among the num- ‘ver were recognized Senator Dixon, of Connecticut; Bop, J. W. Chanler, Genera) Slocum and Genera) Lud- low, of New York; and ex-banker Latham, each with Ris'bundle of axes, ‘Tho Senate rejected Douglas Dale as receiver of publi ¢ ‘oneys at Boonville, Missourt. Appoiutments Confirmed by the Senate. ‘The Senate to-day confirmed the nomination of Henry R Linderman, Director of the Mint at Philadelphia; ‘William Penn Lloyd, Collector of Internal Revenue of the. Fifteenth district of Pennsylvania, and George T. Barvey, at Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Anxiety About the Cennecticat Electio : ‘The interest felt here in the Connecticut clection is eoping many out of their beds, and is filling the news- paper offices here with anxious crowds of inquirers who have either made their ventures on the result or expect to get a few crumbs of political comfert from the indica- tions that Connecticut may shadow forth of the next Presidential contest, The defeat of showman Barnum is mot grieved over even by the square toed republicans, many of whom declare that the party can easily afford the loss, and express their gratitude to the Herarp for ite effective opposition to this political pretender. A general regret is expressed at the reported defeat of Deming, who had acquired an enviable reputation during his Congressional career. ‘The Title te the New Post Office Site in New York Approved. ‘The Attorney General has communicated te the Post- master General his approval of the title to the lower end of the City Hall Park, which the city of New York has given to the United States government, with the in- formation that the title is perfectly valid, and conforms im all respects to the legal requirements for such docu- ments. The Pennsylvania Appointments. At is now probable that some grave conferences will be held between Senators Cameron and Buckalew, of Penn- aylvauia, on the subject of the many fat places vacant im that State. The offices of Collector, Naval Officer, Surveyor and Director of Ihe Mint, in Philadelphia, and various collectorships and assessorships under the revenue laws in the city and interior, together with a Jarge namber of poatmasterships, are vaeant, and it is wow gravely advocated by the politicians of that State to divide the spoils between the two parties, The Hon. Caleb N. Taylor, the new republican Representative from the Fifth district, is said to have secured his man, republican, for assessor, by conceding R L. Wright, ‘demoert, for collector. < The Impeuchment Question. ‘The House Judiciary Committee was in session to-day, examining impeachment witnesses. It is understood ‘that the Commitiee will be in session throughout the week. @perations of the Freedmen’s Burean in Georgia. ‘The Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau has re- exived from Colonel C.-C. Sibley, Assistant Commissioner fer the State of Georgia, his report of the operations of ‘the Bureaa, in which Colone! Bibley states that, having foond the existing, organization of the Bureau in that ‘Brate jote ton sub-districts and assigned officers of the avery te. the charge of each, giving them, under the wapervision of the Assistant Commissioner, control over ‘the agents in their respective sub-districta, The order of the Commisnener abolishing fees for the making of con- twacts has gone into operation. It has, however, deranged the working of the Bureau somewhat, as many of the civilian agents have resigned, and others will follow their example. The Colonel says that the low price of labor tm Georgia at the close of the lastand opening of the preseut. year, induced many of the freedmen to accept employment in other States, which has raised (he price of labor in Georgia, and it is believed that mearly all who are.able to work can find employment at veasonable wages. The large majority of the freed peo- ple-ere working under contracts which have mot been wapervised by agents of the Bureau. These contracts fave more equitable than those made last year, owing to qreater knowledge among the freedmen and more gener- esity on the part of the planters. ‘The exodus of able- bodied however, hag left larger proportion of aged, helpless non-producers, who are comparatively destitute. Freedmen’s Affaire in Mississippt. Beovet Brigadier General A. ©.

The General says that complaints have been made that emigrant and other trans ew route across the plains have not always received that courtesy and assistance from military posts along the route to which they are entitled. He invites the attention of commanding officers to the fact that these poste are established principally for ‘the protection of overland travel and of neighboring settlements; that protection implies, not only courtesy, which is due to all, but ashow of kindly mterest in their success, the imparting of all useful information, the giving of such advice as their better knowledge may Justify, and the affording of such material ald as may be in their power togive. Without doubting the disposition of officers to do all thie, the General makes it their duty, and strictly enjoius upon. them its performance. He further directs that herenfter it will not be permitted for any employé of the government in that Department to be interested in any contract for furnishing supplies for the use of troops. Any employé found violating the provisions of the order will be immediately discharged from the service, General Sheridan’s Department. Major General Sheridan, commanding the Fifth Mili- tary District, announced on the 23d ult. that Major G. A.

The officers of the Quartermaster’s Department are advised that on and after the present date the transpor- tation, both of Persons and freight required by the FPreedmen’s Bureau, will cease to be furaished by the Quartermaster's Department in any of the States !n- chuded i@éBe following list where there are officers of that Bureau, viz. :—District of Columbia, Maryland, Vir- ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississipp! and Texas.

His promise has been verified. Private tetters state that he repulsed with bis small force the attack of from two thousand to three thousand Indians, killing three han- ‘dred and wounding over one thousand before te was overwhelmed. It ts generally supposed that Colonel Rankin shot his wife to prevent her falling into the ‘ands of the Indians. No possible blame can be attached Colonel Rankin’s memory for the fall of the post, as te had had many years’ experience in the Indian @untry and was an officer of great coolness and dis- eetion. ‘The New Commissioner of Indian Affairs.

The War Against the Rumecllers—The To- bacce Trafic te be Attacked Next—Letter from a Radical Parson to General Grant About Smeking—He Urges Him to Give Up the “Inevitable Cigar” fer the Beneat of Young America—The Female Suffrage Ques- tion in the Legislature, &e. Bosrox, March 28, 1867. Rum, tobacco and suffrage for women are just now the three leading hobbies of the Massachusetts radicals. It seems as if one half of the community, from the hills of Berkshire to the sands of Cape Cod, are insane on one or the other of these three matters. Probably the lusatics on all of the subjects are united in the crusade against rum, and just now they are in the midst of an active campaign. The wars for female suffrage and against to- bacco will probably not be very actively fought inside of another political year, although the troopa are actively preparing for the fray, One of the anti-tobacco chiefs bas, in fact, gone eo far already as to address General Grant and urge bim to give up the “inevitable cigar.” As bas been previously stated im this cor- reepondence, the ‘Against the liquor traffic ig exciting the ulmost interest, The Committee of the Legislature, which is asked to pass a Neense law, has held something @ver twenty public hearings, and will have half as mssy more. Between one and two hundred have testified before them, the majority for a license and the minority against a license. The evidence given by some of the remon- strants to a license la rather amusing, One or two have predicted that the temperance movement Js like tho anti-slavery movement, and that it wil! eventually be as successful, and that it is only a questton of time, if they keep on agitating, as to the total abolition of whiskey, wine and beer from the whole American con- tinent. They claim that he who drinks a glass of wine ‘will go to perdition sure; that all crimes flow from ram, and that to drink or sell it is a sin not second to that of committing murder. The temporary suspension of the traffic by many of the dealers in the city and country has given the radicals encouragement and enthusiasm, and hence their sanguine anticrpations of squelching the traffic througbout the United States. All cood reforms, they eay, originate in Massachusetts, and this movement they look upon as the harbinger of a great national mora} revolution. ‘The tobacco question is the next which they will aci- tate after having been vanquished im the liquor reform movement, Their champton, Rev. George Trask, of Fitchburg, asserts that the weed in all its forms creates a dryness of throat, a morbid and sometimes insatiate thirst, which clamors for strovg drink, and which eim- ple liquids cannot appease, that it produces a depressed condition of the nervous system, and is in any and every form and at all times terribly demoralizing to health, morals and christianity. It is somewhat curious that the first man whom these reformers have attempted to convert is General Grant. At a late meeting this Trask of Fitchburg was delegated to address the General and urge upon bim to give up the “ inevitable cigar.” The levter which was sent to the General I have been permitted to copy. It is as follows: Dean Gevarat—Public men we regard as public pro- perty; hence their public acts are legitimate subjects of public animadversion.

Bostox, March 29, 1867. The matter of ihe bours of labor, which has been 80 Jong agitated in Massachusetts by both men and women, promises now to receive some decisive legislation.

The bill, in brief, provides that no person under fifteen years shall be employed ufacturing in any man- establishment more than tem hours and (twenty minutes ¢@ any one day, or more than sixty hours ig one week; that any owver, agent, superin- tendent or overseer who shall knowingly employ or permit to'be employed any person under fifteen years of oge for a greater length of time than is provided In the of ‘section, shall for each offence forfell. the sum ;'that it shalt be the dity of the constable of the commonwealth to specially detail one of hie éeputier, with suck additional force a8 may'be wecessary, to ree that'the provisions of {hie act, and sll other laws regu- lating the ewployment of ebildres or mivors in man- ‘ufscturing cotablichmente, are complied with, and to the same, and be shall report annually to the Governor all proceedings under this act.
