‘The Impeachment Question. ‘The Judiciary Committes to-day continued the examin- Gtion of witnesses whose testimony it is supposed would Dear somehow on impeachment, Only two persons were interrogated by the inquisitors—General H. 8. Burton, Commanding at Fortress Monroe, and Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. The former was examined as to the circumstances attending the delivery of Jefferson Davis to the civil authoritice, and is said to have favored the committee with a sketch of some interesting conversa- tions with the late prisoner of State. Mr, Stanton, who thas already heen before the committes more than once, ‘was asked a variety of questions about various matters relating to reconstruction. Visit ef General Grant and Staff to Rich- mond—His Southern Tour. General Grant and lady, accompanied by his father and Generals Dent, Thomas and Patterson, of his staff, started for Richmond this morning and arrived there this after- moon on # visit to Dr. Sharp, his brother-in-law. The General intends leaving his family at Old Point, where ‘they will be the guests of General Schofield during the summer months, After this, it is rumored, he will visit ‘the acenes of his old campaigns throughout the South on Dorseback, The Richmond Whig proposes that General ‘Lee accompany him, as a measure to produce @ har- ‘monizing effect on the sections, Alleged Abuse of the Franking Privilege. Tam informed on good authority that Judge Marvin, ©f Florida, Senator elect from that State, franks and re- evives under frank all his mai) matter, This is done, it 4s also said, with the consent of the Postmaster General, ‘that officer having agreed to recognize the frank. This fs thought to be @ very singular,and rather a serious (matter by some, among whom is an eminent Senator, ‘who thinks the Senate will, or should, censure the Post- master General for thus recognizing Senators from the Southern States in advance of their being admitted to their seats by the Senate, Thus this executive branch of the government undertakes to de- termine the rights of the Southern States, and those who claim to represent them, in advance of Congress or the courts, Judge Marvin, it is stated, called on the Postmaster General, and said he could: not undertake to Feosive and pay postage on return mails on all the matter sent to him as a Senator in Vongress. Thereupon the Postmaster General consented to the arrangement stated. ‘The Oregon Central Railroad Land Claim. ‘The Acting Secretary of the Interior has decided, in Yeference to an application of the Oregon Central Rail- road Company claiming the benefit of an act of Congress @ranting lands to aid im the construction of a raiiroad from the Central Pacific Railroad, in California, to Port- Iaad, in Oregon, to which the assent of such company was required, that the Department could not accept the aseent given by individuals styling themselves ‘“Cor- }, porators,” as the assent required by law to be filed in the Department of the Interior; but that the assent sbould be given by the corporation through the action of the Board of Directors, or other governing authority of the corporation, and that a copy from the record of the meeting showing such action must be authenticated under the corporate seal of the company and filed in the Department, Legal Proceedings to Compel the Registration of Certain Voters. An application was made to the Supreme Court of this istrict several days ago for a mandamus to compel the Judges of election to place the names of certain citizens on the registry of voters. The Court to-day, through Judges Olin, Fisher and. Wiley, delivered separate opinions, all arriving at the same result, namely :—That the mandamus could not lie until after the expiration ‘of the two days allowed by law for the correction ef the poll lists, The particular circumstances of the four or five cases presented were discussed ‘ucluding that of Dr. Boyd, who had heretofore been convicted on two indictments of aiding and assisting the ‘escape of slaves, and sentenced to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for fourieen years; but who, after serving e@ighteon months of the term, was pardoned by Presi- ent Lincoln. Dr. Boyd, on being denied by the Judge privilege of having his name registered, on the ind that he had boen convicted of an infamous effence, produced his pardon; but this was not con- Bidered by them sufficient evidence of his mght to vote. Judge Olin, in delivering his opinion to-day, held that ‘the pardon restored Dr. Boyd to the possession of his civil rights, but Judge Fisher held that the fact of pardon would not permit him to vote if the offence of ‘which he had been convicted was infamous. The statute ‘under which he was convicted was not in the nature of ‘@ penal law of disfranchisement, and therefore did not ap- Ply in this case; but the offence was not known at com- amon law as an infamous crime, which applied only to eonvictions malum in ge, or against the law of God. So ‘Dr. Boyd was entitled to have his name registered. No wemedy, however, could apply until after the expiration of the two days allowed by law for the correction of the poli list. This subject derives additional importance from the fact that but comparatively few white voters Presented themselves for registration in the First and *Becond wards where the blacks have a majority owing to the default of white citizens, many of whom are ‘mow desirous of having the books reopened tn order that they may register. ' Fair in Ald of Destitute Southerners. | The fair held im Washington for the past two weeks, for the rolief of the destitute in the South, has netted ‘Dotween three and four thousand dollars, Financial Affairs. ‘The amount of fractional currency issued by the print- fug division of the Treasury Department for the week @nding to-day was $142,000.

Our beautiful rusin urbe—our great city garden—is once more donning the gay attire of summer. after emerging from the clammy and icy embrace of winter, Though the latter seems yet “lingering in the lap of spring,” and though an October-like wind was wafting its cool breezes across the island yesterday, the Park, in its numerous throng, gave full earnest of the popularity which it 1s more than ever to enjoy. Few of the many flower-bearing shrubs have as yet disclosed to view their floral secret, bat the delicate buds and sprouting tendrils were interesting and attractive, like beauty in infancy, In the afternoon the scene was lvely and animated, despite the chilling drafts that blew athwart the Park. As the day waned the throng might be called dense for the time. It was a promise of what the crowds wiil be when the atmosphere is more genial for visits to this most attractive resort, A constant stream of vebi- cles, many of the mast stylish models, wound around the roads amid troops of children aud groups of adults, who lingered by the roadside or delved and strolled in the adjacent rural thickets. ‘The presence of children is one of the expanding fea- tures of the Park, They were there in troops yesterday in charge of delighted mammas, romantic nurses or dignified bonns. The latter chatiered French and gave our demo- cratic Park quite a Bois de Boulogne look, what with their prim biack dresses and matronly lace caps. Tho practice of sending children to the Park is a commend- able one. They certainly enjoyed themselves. They darted among the trees and raced along the paths, Their ringing laughter and merry prattle rivalled the chirping joyousness of the birds that flitted about and around and above them. It was no place for old bachelorhood. Benedictism would have met a stern rebuke in their artless pleasures. And then, the bealth- ful results, Better an hour’s remp in the mazes of the Ramble than a doctor's prescription for little Tom. Better the tired slumber after a day’s frolic in the Park than the drowsiness of paregoric. ‘The visitor who has not been at the Park since last season will find many new and interesting features, The Museum, which occupies the old Arsenal building, bids fair to be one of its most attractive places, Another story is now in course of preparation to receive, it is understood, a large and choice mineralogical and xeolo- gical coliection from the Historical ty. This col- lection will subsequently be removed to a building which 18 to be erected in the Park by that body. The ground has been designated by the Commissioners, and is located in the «pace east of the old reservoir. Many judicious changes have also been made in the arrangement of the artic! in the gallery, which is now mucu more commodious, A ther- mometricai and barometrical record is kept in full view of visitors, so that those who are anxious about the weather, and who do not read the Heavy, may prognos- ticate for themselves and lengthen or shorten their stay accordingly. i ‘The young folks are to be cared for especially hence- forward. Among the numerous additions is an arbor in the usual rustic style, which is to be set apart as a resort for the juveniles. It is a large, cirealar stracture, dred fect in diameter, conveniently near the lower trances, and is to be smoothly paved with PhilaJeiphia brick. It will be called the Rustic Arbor—though the name Nursery would perbaps be more appropriate, and may in time become the popular one. Near by @ play- round is to be laid out, in which the young folks may frautge their propensities for outdoor eports and games. The base ball ground has not as yet been thrown open for use, but it is thought that playing will be rmitted to begin about the ist of June. The rule of Test year ag to permits for each club will be kept in fe force. Two beautiful drinking fountains have been placed in the space at the head of the mall. Made as they are of bronze and scotch granite, they are a handsome addition to the ornamentation of the vicinity. A mineral water oes the contemplated novel- ties this summer, ie buliding will be located on the westerly side, near one of the lower Eighth avenue en- trances. The impecupious valetudinarian who cannot afford the expense of a trip to Saratoga or Baliston will be delighted at this establishment of a spa so near home. The ‘etereay concerts will not commence for a couple of weeks yet, The railroad companies evince their usual parsimonious spirit in refusing to contribute to the expense of an entertainment which indirectly largely 1n- creases their gains. It is cousidered almost certain there will be no Wednesday concerts this season, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ALLEGED Tuert or 4 Gotp Watou.—On Friday a gold watch, valued at $100, was stolen from the premises of Michael J. Brady, 500 Pearl street. Subsequently « wn ticket for the watch was found in possession of Feary A. Gordon by officer Dunn, of the Sixth precinct. Gordon was soovedingt taken into custody and the stolen watch recove from the pawn office. The prisoner was taken before Justice ling and com- mitted for trial. Crusity Beatixc 4 Horse.—John R. Wilson was yes- terday arrested by officer Hays, of the Broadway squad, on the complaint of Mr. Wm. L. Jenkins, of the Bank ot America, 46 Wall street, who charges the prisoner with striking a borse on Broadway with a cart rung, in and cruel manner. The accused was ustice Dowling and committed to answer a0 un taken before the charge.

His family are still at the hotel, together with General Joseph Davis, The fact of his removal has been kept perfectly secret, and the personal friends who have called to see him since have either been informed that he was too unwell to receive them or have been referred to General Davis. From the time of his arrival Mr. Davis has exhibited great anxiety to make his stay in the city as unobtrusive as possible, and has several times stated that he thought it only proper, view- ing his history during the, past few years, to avoid all semblance of publicity. Undoubtedly he was greatly annoyed at the eformous rush made by his former ad- herents as soon as they heard of his arrival, and as the evil has not seemed to diminish, he bas sought refuge in a plea of sickness and removal from the hotel. Among a numerous crowd of visitors at the hotel yes- terday the irrepressible Jack Rogers, whose political death and wake were recently reported, made a proti- nent figure. With a face all aglow with ‘the joyful anti- cipation of again seeing his friend, Sir, Davis, he pre- sented his card to the clerk and requested an interview. As Mr. Davis was not in the hotel it was, of course, im- possible to comply with his wishes, and he was referred to General Davis. ‘Towards the middle of the afternoon quite a crowd gathered in Eighth street, opposite the private entrance of the hotel, attracted by a rumor which had been circu- lated that Mr. Davis was about to leave for Montreal, A number of carriages standing in the street gave color to the report; but after an hour or so of patient expecta- tion the crowd reluctantly relinquished all hope of be- holding the fallen chief of the great rebellion, and dis- per Tn the evening the hotel was crowded in the usual manner with a larze number of gentlemen who had been connected'with the Confederacy, either overtly or who had avowed sympathy with its’ principles and objects, They — themselves much apparently to their own satisfaction in discussing the political prospects of the country, occasionally indulging in a digressive de- scription of some hard-fought field, in which their own individual valor, aided by that of other members of the ©. 8. A,, had achieved victories as yet unrecorded in history, Mr. Davis, it is now stated, will leave for Montreal on Monday should his heaith’ permit, His family will probably accompany him. ANOTHER EXTENSIVE FORGERY, The Broadway Bank the Amount $17,500-A Clue trator, &e.,. &e. One of the boldest and most extraordinary forgeries that has obtained publicity for many years came to lignt yesterday, It appears that about a month ago a check was presented at the Broadway Bank, payable to — or bearer, for $17,500, parporting to be injcompensa- tion for work done ona public schoolhouse in Twenty- sixth street, where there is no building of the kind. The check was signed with the forged signatures of the President and Clerk of the Board of Education and the chairman of the Finance Committee. It was not one of the checks of the Board, but a very good lithograph of the figured checks, which are. not accessible to any but the very few who have the right to fill them. It was, however, about an eiglith of an inch shorter than the checks of the Board, After being presented and paid at the bank, it appears that it lay in the safe until yesterday, when It was sent to the oilice of the Board of Education among the genuine drafts and was noticed by the anditing clerk of the Board, who called the attention of Mr. Thomas Boese, the clerk of the Board of Educa- tion, to it, and he instantly pronounced it a forgery. He then took’ the forged paper, examined and analyzed it carefully, and immediately’ sent for James M. McLean, the President of the Board of Education, who is also President of several insurance companies and the Board of Underwriters, B. H. Vance, the chairman of tho Finance Committee, of the firm of Mitchell Vance &Co., and submitted the check to them, and as. business men they were not long also in pronouncing it officers of the bank were then communi detectives were soon at work upon the case, having obtained an almost conclusive clue before they started, which probably only requires a little time to unravel to an unbroken end. The check was made, ue already described, payable to bearer, which isa very unusual thing with checks sent from the Board of Education to the bank for payment, Again, checks for such large amounts are seldom drawn, the money for repairs and other work on school build: ings which are under the charge of the Board of Educa- tion being paid in smaller instalments. There might be other points of difference noticed also in this forger and the checks of the Board of Education, but enoug has been said to show that better management would do our city banks no harm. ‘There are various theories as to who the perpetrator of this bold and skilful forgery is, and there is only one opinion on the point, The simplicity of the circum- stance, which the perception of a keen man turned to the advantage of the detective officer in starting him on Sufferer—The to the Perpe- when the time comes to tay it before the public. Until then, however, patience must prevail. The ignorance of the whole fur which prevailed at pol headquarters late last evening in regard to the whole matter was not the least singular feature of this extraordinary affair, No one there beyond the detective who had the matter in hand seemed to take any interest in it, or even knew anything of it. ‘As the forgery occurred one month ago the person who presented the check at the bank is forgotten, and can only probably be remembered when again brought into the presence of the paying teller. This is the story tbas far of this strange affair. The noxt chapter will unquestionably be far more interesting. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN WILLIAMSBURG. n Fires Two Shots at His Siste: Narrow Escape of the Lady. About eight o’clock last night Harman King, forty years of age, attempted to murder his sister-in-law, Mrs. Frances L. King, at the store of her husband, Wiiliam M. King, in Fifth street, near Grand, Brooklyn, E. D., by discharging two shots from arevoiver at her. Both shots, however, happily missed the lady. It is repre- sented that the would-be murderer is a man of dissi- pated habits, and for that reason his sister-in-law had forbidden him to enter her house. Feeling aggrieved at this, it is said be threatened to have revenge. When he entered the store ut the hour named last night appeared to be somewhat sister-m-law asked him to take @ seat, but in- stead of doing #0 he went up to the counter, behind which she was standing, ‘and saying, Pye got you, you can’t escape,” he discharged two shots at her in rapid succession trom a revolver, which be seemed to have had concealed in « pocket handker- chief which he held in his hand.

Panis, May 2, 1867, That chronic fever called the Paris season will not abate this Exposition year, We have gone through tho usual run of balls, masquerades and operas, we have undergone the infliction of more parlor music than we cared for, but still we are re-balling it in a continued circle of endless sau'euses and we are re-banqueting it in high places at the rate of six Lucullian outspreads per evening. The new President of the Senate, Mr. Schreider, gives his first official dinner to one hundred and twenty guests this week, and a large ball on the 9th, The foreign Ministers, including General Dix, bold thelr receptions on their stated days, and what with foreign princes coming or going, the little we have left to pat on our backs has to be renowed very ofien. Husbands do not, fortunately, complain ; for wives have got into a way of making out their bills which turns the hardest case into the simplest reasoning possible. “Whenever dear Oscar says a word about the money going fast, of course I never lay the fault to my tailor, as he deserves,” said Pauline de B, toa friend, as she ‘was coming out of church; ‘‘I invariably set the cook’s aecount before him, with Exposition prices on every item. Nothing could be so convenient as embroidered sating and the high price of fowls, both acting simul- taneously, as it were, for the bliss of famitios,’” Could other simultaneous blessings attend us in the course of our ie on earth we should all be very thankful, doubtless; but since undertakers have enter- tamed serious ideas of getting up a strike, like the tail- ors and bait rs, my option is that we are inra very false, pation. ree . ihe oiffears bive done fot Srigelves, ‘Their Hat objection was to be treated Mke walters by their shaven customers, who, on leaving ing premises, deposited two sous in a tin box for the presiding gentleman of the strop.

The heads of the principals of the firm were averse to fo seae payments, They preferred the payrients vol- unteered by their customers, and the strike ensued.

The past week has been one of unusually lively inci- dent and interest for the laboring classes of this city and vicinity, With the clove of the previous week there came a formal demand from laborers of different quali- ties, and in @ few cases from classes of skilled work- men, for an increase of pay,’ This being refused by tho employers, a strike was the consequence, The stable. men employed by the city railroad companies made domand for $2 per day instead of $1 75, This was ac- ceded to in several instances, but, being refused by the Second, Third, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth ave- uue companies, a general strike of all the ftablemen employed on those lines was inau- gurated on Monday Inet and prevaiied throughout the week, although much suffering was experienced by the families of the poorer ‘men concerned in the hope- less movement. Several acts of personal violence were committed by hot beaded strikers, who could not con- formal ora aoctied 7 abandon 8 for: ve rian ame ‘old rate of compensation, ose SES <3, ing for small pay, to abandon their jobs. I casos their arguments and threats were ‘apavailing, bat only one occasion was noted in which violence was added to 8 $$ $$ rece RISTORI, Departure for Earope—Last Day iu America— Parting with Friends—Signing of a New Ceutract with Mr. Grau for Havana and the United States—Au Revoir, Not Adieu, Yesterday was an eventful day in the eventiul career of Madame Ristori, From an early hour numerous visitors sought her residence im Sixteenth street, to bid her good bye and pay their last tribute of admiration and respeet to her genius, goodness and amiable quali- ties, Bouquets, some of which were the rarest speci- mens of art, were brought in, until the elegant pariors seemed to be conservatories, and the cards of our prin- cipal citizens, clergymen, diplomats, politicians, Iterary celebrities, artists and other friends, were sent up from the continuous stream of carriages that ‘stopped the way,” until the fair artiste became bewtidered, Then an ordeal of hand shaking, of the Gene- ral Grant style, and the Babel of farewells, ina half dozen languages, preceded tho departure for the steamer. Yet amid this busy scene, Madame Ristori did not forget the promptings of her generous heart, for she found time to make many liberal donations tothe poor, Rarely has any one been the recipient of such Watering attentions from the most distinguished citizens of the metropolis as Madame Ristori and her family were yesterday, Tho rich aud elegant souvenirs which they recoived formed a small cargo in them- Selvoa, All the Italians of note, many celebrities in the art world, and many of the representatives of our re- publican aristocracy rode down to the steamer yester- day afternoon to see Madame Ristori off, The scene at the dock, on the decks and in the cabin, where Madamo Ristori was surrounded by the intimate friends she has made here, was unprecedented. The leave takings were warm, affectionate and enthusiastic, Her husband, the Marquis del Grillo; her son George, and her beautiful daughter, Mile, Bianca, came in for a share in the general enthusiasm, and deep regrets were express- ed again and again at parting, But it was au revoir, not adieu, Mr. Grau bas been long anxious to enter into a new engagement with the great tragedienne, but she wished to retire from the stage and devote herself to the care of her family. The unprecedented enthusiasm with which she was received at her farowell appearance ; tho flattering serenade which followed and the unvary- ing triumphal character of the past season determined her yesterday, and she signed a contract to appear under the management of Mr. Grau, during the next season, at the Grand Tacon Theatre, Havana, and the United States. The contract was signed on board of the steamer a few minutes before its departure, Madame Ristori ex- pressed herself to those present after signing the con- tract, that sbe could cot be induced to return to Amor - ica under any other management than that of Mr, Grau, She used the tollowing words:—“When an artist signs an engagement with Mr, Grau, half the battle is gained.” One of her last acts before the sailing of the steamer Ville de Paris was to presont Mr. Grau with a carte de visite, on Which was written—‘‘To her good friend and excellent manager, J. Grau, souvenir of Adelaide Ristori del Grillo.” Mr, Grau also presented Madame Ristori with a silk American flag, on which was the single word “Souvenir? One of the conditions of the contract is that Giacom- motti’s new play, Marie Antoinette, will be produced for tho first time, and under the management of Mr. Grau, in New York. This is im accordance with the author's previously expressed wish, that this work should be brought out in @ republican land, as the sentiments he Purposed introducing in tt would prove distasteful to monarchical ideas of liberty. Schiller’s celebrated Jean @ Arc will be also one of the features of the next season in Havana and the United States, The scenery for Marie Antoinette will be painted in France and Italy, and the costumes will be entirely new. Fifty thousand francs were deposited by each of the contracting parties with a leading banker of this city. Madame Ristori will make her first appearance next season at the French theatre on September 15. As the lines were cast off and the noble steamer, one of the staunchest and swiftest of the popular French line, moved out from the pier, bandkerchicis were waved, adicus exchanged and each eye strained to catch a part- ing glimpse of the queen of the drama. The crowd on the pier was immense and every point where a view of tte steamer could be obtained swarmed with human be- ings LST OF PASSENGRES HY THE VILLE DE PARIS, The following 16 a list of the passengers who sailed on the Ville de Paris for Breet and Havre: Madame Adelaide Ristori, Marquis del Grito, Mr. George det Grillo, Mile.
