NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1867.—TRIPLE SHEET. 7 ‘the same sort to put the streets into anything like that cleanly condition which the approach of summer warns us that they should be in, if we expect to escape epidemic disease. We hope, therefore, that the contractor will look ‘to this matter at this most propitious time. Jeff Dayis. In the Attorney General’s office, at Wash- ‘Ington, it appears there is a large budget of petiticns from people South and North praying ‘the pardon or release on parole of Jeff Davis; ‘but they signify nothing with the Presi- dent, inasmuch as the prisoner has not himself put in o petition. It further appears that he thas declined and does not intend to apply for grace, because, in his view, “to ask for a par- don is a confession of guilt,” and he considers himself not guilty of rebellion or treason, according to the Calhoun catechism of State eighta, The prisoner, then, is at least entitled to “a speedy trial.” After two years in For- tress Monroe, if a speedy trial cannot be ac- corded the fallen chicf of a subjugated rebellion, the best thing that the Presidont can do will be to turn him loose as a good Riddance of a bad bargain. Ready to Trade. The political atmosphere in Europe has a squally look. If we are to credit a recent tele- gram Napoleon has already entered into nego- tiation for the purchase of American arms. We have any quantity to sell, and are quite willing to trade. We can give him any pat- tern, from the old rogulation musket down to the last rifled invention, all warranted to go off at full cock, and at a low figure. What more can the needle gun do? AMUSEMENTS. Theatre Francais. ‘The performance given last evening for the benefit of Mme. Larmet was in all respects a success, The feature of the entertainment was the début of Mrs. Barney Wil- Uams on the French stage, and the announcement that an American actress would essay her powers in a foreign ‘tongue was not the least attractive promise set forth by ‘the bill. It would be useless to enter into elaborate criticism on Mrs. Willams’ rendering of the female character in Un Mari dans du Coton, Her ability as an artiste was of course apparent, despite the disadvantage under which she labored in speaking a language not her ‘own, but her mispronunciation of the French was ciently discernable, and this, no doubt, greatly depre- Ps her performance in’ the opinion of the Gallic ‘thabitués of the theatre, Willing applause was liberally Destowed, and if srs. Williams be not classed among the stars of the French stage, sho will, at least, be looked upon as an accomplished actress and linguist. Un Ca- price and Un Changement de Main were the new pieces, ‘with Messrs, Larmet and Fournier and Madame Larmet in the principal parts. . Stadt Theatre. Mr, Daniel Bandmann ‘commenced an engagement at this theatre last night, undcstaking for his debut this season that strange medley of contradictions, ye melan- cboly Dane, Hamiet.

Maritana was given last nignt. The Seventh Regiment Armory pregented » brilliant sight last mght, when Grafulla gave his last concert for the season. Looking from the balcony, the eye fell on human kaleidoscope of fashionable promenaders, and the strains of the band mingled curiously with the un- ceasing hum of voices; the rambow colors of silk, satin, and moire antique, with the hundred dainty little hats and lovely faces, formed a mosaic pavement around the centre platform on which Gratalia waved his baton over @ score and a haif brass and reed speech makers. Now and then the smiling face was overshadowed with an ominous frown like a thunder cloud, anda flash of light- ning wrath annihilaied some unlucky wight who ven- tured to tread on a@ voluminous train, Still the fair promenaders found suificieat time to listen to and ap- Prociate the delightful music, The programme com- ‘ised selections from Kicci, Verdi, Rossini, Strauss, leyerbeer, Donizetti, Kilner, Suppe, Parloro and Gra- tulle One of the compositions of the last mentioned was ® charming waltz, called the Henrietia Waltz, and commemorative of thaggoat ocean yacht race. The in troduction was a velit , comprising @ cornet solo of much beauty. ‘walts uself is of the Strauss ‘or Lanner spirit, and cievoriy and spiritedly worked up.

Schrieber’s instruments, of which we spoke before, wero used for the first time on this occasion. Tony Pastor's. The caution s0 distnteresiediy given to bis patrons by Tony, ‘to come early and secure their seats,’’ could not fail to be duly appreciated on Monday night by those who failed to benefit by it, as the house was so crowded ‘that the late comer had to be content with witnessi the of those who, more fortunate than himself get a view of the stage, The Easter bill is replete with good things inthe siape of comic singing, ballet dancing and negro divertissements, and the burlesque of the Forty Female Jack Sheppards is wortuy of the tabri- cative talent of the great Munchaasen himself.

The preparation by the Attorney General of an opinion on the Reconstruction law was undertaken, it is stated, ‘at the request of the President and the Secrotary of War, the subject having been discussed at great length im Cabinet meeting. The necessity for having certain clauses of the law clearly defined, especially the dis- franchising clause, and that which gives authority to make removals, has been pointed out by at least three of the military commanders, The opinion, it is under- stood, will be quite lengthy, bearing upon the whole law, instead of being confined to one or two points, and ‘will not be completed before next week, on account of the great addition to the duties of the Attorney General, caused by the injunction cases in the Supreme Court, Distribution ef Seeds at the South. ‘The Commissioner of Agriculture is now daily sending to the South seeds and cereals, in accordance with the provisions of the recent law transferring $50,000 from ‘the Freedmen’s Bureau fund to aid in relieving the gen- oral destitution of garden and farm seeds in the South, to give to that region new and improved varieties, and thus help to avert famine in the immediate future, The regular statistical corps of correspondents, 90 far as ap- Pointed, will represent the department in the distribu- tion within their own counties, and agents are desig- nated in other counties to assist in the work. Individual requests for small parcels are also regarded, and the distribution is thus made as general and equal as pos- sible, The quantity of seeds at the disposal of a¢ Commissioner, however, will fall far short-of the de- mand and of the expectations of sue people, who do Not realize the extent and destitution of the country to be supplied, Commissioner Newton is entitled to the credit of suggesting, urging and securing this timely assistance to the Southern people. ‘The Official Repert Relative te the Capture of Jeff. Davis, ® Last January the House Committee on Claims was in- structed to investigate and report all the facts connected with the capture of Jeff Davia, The evidence taken pursuant to that authority has just been published, and contains a few interesting details, The main facts are the same as appeared in the Henao tmmediately after Jeff Davis’ capture, but there are some points cleared up which have been enveloped until now in some little doubt and uncertainty. The evidence comprises a de- Position of General J. H. Wilson, made before the committee on the 27th of January last ; a lengthy report by the same officer to General Grant, bearing date January 17, 1867, and reports by Generals E. F. Winslow and A. J. Alexander, Colonel Henry Harnden, Lieu- tenant 0. P. Clinton, and private J. J, Alpin, of the First Wisconsin cavairy. The report of General Wilson gives a full account of the capture, the unfortunate mis- take between Colonels Pritchard and Harnden, and the condition of the arch traitor at the moment of his ap- prehension, The General sticks to the old ver- sion, jthat Jeff Davis was disguised partially in the attire of a female, alluding to the subject in the following language:—* During the firing of the skirmish just referred to, the adjutant of the Fourth Michigan, Lieutenant J. G. Dickinson, after having looked to the security of the rebel camp, and sent forward a number of the men who had straggled, was about to go to the front himself, when his attention was called by one of the men to three persons in female attire, who had apparently just left one of the large tents near by, and were moving towards the thick woods, Hé Stirted at once towardsthem, and called out, “Halt.” But not bearing him, or not caring to obey, they continued to move off. Just then they were con- fronted by three men, under direction of Cor- poral Munger, coming from the @ direc: tion, The corporal recognized one the per. sons as Davis, advanced carbine and demanded his surrender, The three persons halted, and by the actions of the two, who afterwards turned out to be women, ali doubt as to the identity of the third person was removed. The individuals thus arrested were found to be Miss Howell, Mrs. Davis and Jefferson Davis. As they walk- ed back to the tent from which they had tried to es- cape, Lieutenant Dickinson observed that Davis’ high top boots were not covered by his disguise, which fact, probably, led to his recognition by Corporal Munger. As the friends of Davis havé stren+ uously denied that he was disguised as a wo- man, it may not be improper to specify the exact articles of woman’s apparel which he had upon him when first seen by Lieutenant Dickinson and Corporal Munger. The former states that he ‘‘ was one of the three persons dressed in woman's attire, and had a black mantle wrapped about his head, through the top of which could be seem locks of his hair.’ Captain G, W. Lawton, of the Fourth Michigan cavalry, states explicitly, upon the testimony of the officers present, that Davis, in addition to his full suit of Con- federate gray, had on ‘“‘a lady's waterproof cloak, gathered at tho waist, with a shaw! drawn over the head, and carrying a tin pail.” Colonel Pritchard says, in his official report, that he received from Mra. Davis, on board the steamer Clyde, off Fortress Monroe, a waterproof cloak, or robe, which was worn by Davis as a disguise, and which was identified by the men who saw iton him at the time of the capture, He secured the balance of the disguise the next day. It consisted of a shawl, which was identified in a similar manner by both Mrs. Davisandthe men. From these circumstances there seems to te no doubt whatever that Davis sought to avoid capture by assuming the dress of a woman, or that the ladies of the party endeavored to pass him off upon his captors as one of themselves. Six Ladies and One Man Drowned in James River. Aterrible catastrophe cccurred yesterday, at a place calied Clarmont, on the James river. A party crossing the river in a small boat were capsized by the force of the wind, and six ladies and one man were drowned, only two of the party escaping, These were rescued by some colored men who observed the occurrence. FINE ARTS. The National Academy of Design. Want of space compels us to defer yet a day or twoa budget of additional specifications of the unexhausted collection of pictures which fill the rooms of the Academy. Simple justice, however, to one of our most distinguished historical painters, inadvertently over- Jooked in our remarks heretofore made upon the more prominent works of the ceilection, calls for a passing notice here of what is reaily the most imposing picture of them all, though the subject is only a horse and his rider, We refer to— General McClellan on horseback—the large picture at the head of the stairway—by W. H. Powell, New York. Here we have a fine portrait of McClellan on a spirited charger; and not of the quiet, spiritiess McClellan who came back shorn of his command and bis laurels {rom the Army of the Potomac; bat of the MoClellan we imagined bim to be when placed at the head of that ‘* finest army on the planet’’—every inch a hero, calm yet fall of fire, strength, boldness, coolness, confidence afar off, and who cries “Ha! hal’ as “‘he heard the thunders of the captains and the shouting.” This is the picture. The accessories of landscape and atmospheric effects are all subordinated to the horse and rider. The master of his subject seeks to concentrate the attention and to challenge the critic, rather than to divert bis observations to secondary details, The engraving of “De Soto Discovering the Mississippi” (from the picture of Powell in the rotunda of the National Capitol), on the back of the ton dollar bill of the national currency, fur- nishes, in the magnificent horse of De Soto, » fair idea of this horse of McClellan, though ‘‘a horse of another color.’’ The herote Spaniard in his brilliant costume, however, does not present the imposing presence of “Little Mac” in his plain uniform. 80 much is simply to an exhibitor in this collecticn who represents the magnates of his art, A Spanish Lady, by Patarica (an Italian portrait painter and caricaturist), is a pleasing picture, soft, warm and suggestive of happy thoughts untold. The same artist has two other pictures in the exhibition, which the visitor will find worth looking up in the cata- logue. Landscape No. 14, by Picoteda, » young Italian of promise. He evidently feels the inspiration of bis native skies, and as in this modest beginning We see that his heart is in his work, he should aot pase unnoticed. —_—_—— DIFFICULTY WITH THE REGROES IN RICHMOND.
