Rio Tanzino, May 9, Via Lonpon, June 1, 1882. { ‘The news from the Brazils by this mail is import- ant,as it is announced that the government of Dem Pedro declines the mediation proffered by the United States for the purpose of restoring peace on Rio de la Plata. This is done with thanks for the kind offer. The Argentine government, as well as that of Paraguay, in their answers to Min- isters Asboth and Washburn, enter into the history of the causes that led to the war, and conclude by informing the American plenipotentiaries that “their imperishable decision is to save themselves by victory.” The Brazilian Commander-in-Chief Caxias was Preparing to attack the Paraguayans as soon as the contingent under the Baron de Herval could Join the forces which the former sent to the Upper Parana. ‘There has been no further fighting yet. Oholera is raging in the allied camp. Ramor states that General Urquiza at the head ef ten thousand men had raised the standard ef re- volt, and declared against the triple alliance. ‘The revolt in the Argentine provinces is re- ported at an end.

Wasurvoron, June 1, 1867, ‘The Question of Impeac! te General Howard and Colonel Morrow were the only witnesses examined to-day by the Judiciary Impeach- ment Committee. The former was asked a variety of questions about the surrender of abandoned lauds by the Freedmen’s Bureau, Colonel Morrow's testimony was on the samo subject as on his former appearances be- fore the Committee, No action bas yet been taken by the Committee upon the testimony thus far eiicited, end it is douptfal whether any will be before adjournment, No address has been prepared, por is anything of the kind at present contemplated. None will be issued, perhaps, before the adjournment of the Committee, which will take piace on Monday, probably until the latter part of June, They do not consider that they bave anything to do with either inviting or dtssuad ing a July session, and are as much in the dark, thus far, as tothe probabilities of such a session as any other person, It understood that Messrs. Churchill, Wileon, Woodbridge, Williams, Pidridge and Marebail are opposed to carrying out anything like the impoach- ment, having come to the conclusion that sufllcent evidence has not begn obtained. Judge Kelley and the Republican Congress Judge Kelley returned hero thie morning from hia Southernetour, He was received by the Congres- sionat Republican Committes in their room at the Capitol, and was highly complimented by the members, The Comgressional Committee, it Appears, have a fund out of which the apostles of raiicalism to the South are paid for their servioo: in enlightening the late rebels as to their duties under tho new order of things, The treasurer of the committee this morning offered to pay Judge Keltey for the ex- penses of his late trip, but the Judge refused to accept any compensation either for outlays or services, stating that the information he had received during his travels had amply repaid him for all his troubles and disburse- ments, Judge Kelley gives a flattering account of the condition of the Southern country trough which he travelled. In compliance with the most pressing invi- tations he has agreed to return to Virginia at a future day to address the citizens of that State. The Democrats and Couservatives In Council. The mass meeting of democrats and conservatives was held to-night at the City Hall. Vigorous Prosecution of the Indian War. ‘The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has just received @ despatch from Superintendent Murphy, at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, stating that the American Ex- pross Company have given the following instructions to their employés om the Smoky Hill route to Denver City:—“ Every Indian that comes within shooting dis- tance, shoot him, Show them no mercy. They will show none to you.” oe also states that @eneral Hancock has ordered his post com- manders to shoot every Indian found north of the Arkansas and south of the Platte rivers, Superintend- ont Murphy calls the attention of the commrssioner to these orders, and says that the Cheyennes, Arapahoes and Sioux, by stipulations of treaties with the United Slates, have the privilege of roaming in this country until assigned to other reservations, and the conse- quences of these measures will be to inaugurate an in- terminable war with these tribes that will coat the gov- ernment hundreds of lives and millions of dollars to bring to a final adjustment. ‘Trial of Surratt Definitely Fixed. Notwithstanding the statements to the contrary Sur- ratt will, on Monday week, be tried under the indict- ment already found against bim, Progress of Registration in Washington.

This will be accepta- ble news to all good citizens that earnesily desire peace and harmony. Z A Probable Case of Justifable Homicide. Lieutenant Hague, of the Sixth United States infantry, was recently dispatched from Charleston by General Sickles to examine into the record trial and conviction of @ man named Jeff Gee for the murder of Darius Gandy. The convict bas sent a petition to General Sickles setting forth that he was under the control of two Union pri- sonere pileting them to the Poedec river; that Gandy saw and pursued them, and that it was necessary to kill Gandy in order that the prisoners might make good their escape; that he was arrested, brought to a speedy trial, withoat any opportanity of bringing into court John Dennis, his principal and only witness, whose testimony would have proved his in- nocence, and that his life was sworn away by parties for the sake of reward; and therefore prays the mercy of the commanding general. If the petition be correct, and Jeff Gee was aiding prisoners to escape, and the killing of Gandy was necessary to effect that purpose, doubtless, according to recognized laws, he is entitied to mercy, The Lieutenant has not made his report, but unless the military intercede Jeff will be banged on the first Friday in June. A North Carolina Loyalist Cornered. A Mr. Tourgee, one of the loyal lights im North Caro- Nina, some time since addressed the people of Lincoin- ton. In the course of his remarks he stated that since he had been in the town of Lincolnton threatening let- ters had been placed under his door, The Town Council called on Mr, ‘Tourgeo for the letters, in order that they might identify the bandwriting and punish the author, bat the gentloman could not pro- duce them. Of course no such letters were ever writ- ten, thus developing another phase in the unmistakable loyalty of North Carotina. Crops in the Sonth and Southweat. Papers from the Southwestern States are unanimousin saying that there never was better promite of crops than this season so far presents, The accounts from the Southern States are almost as encouraging. The har- vesting of wheat is now progressing in the upper por- tions of Georgia, Alavama and in parts of Tennessee, The corn, though backward, is healtuy aad vigorous, and cotton is generally looking well, W. W. Boyce on The Charleston Courier says:—"the Hon, W. W. Boyoe, who is now practising jaw in Washington, D. ©. advising bis old constituents on reconstruction, tells them that to stand aloof from the work of reconstruction under the law or vote against holding a convention will be equally disastrous, He says eithor course will en- gure a transfer of political power to the negross, and following upon thie will come, not confiscation by Con- gress, but taxation from a radical State Legislature, which will be utterly merciless, Such taxation will be almost equivalent (0 confiscation, since it would assuredly fall upon the property owners ‘under a dozen different pretences of providing for the frewumen, There would be largomes and pensions, (exes for the education of the freedmen and taxes for they maintenance natil little would be left for the planters to enjoy. This ie the confiscation most to be dreadyd, sic’? % would be independent of authority and not subjectto the influence of national Opiniog. The only way to obviate it is to participate la the prescribed processes of reconstruction, and 60 40 Prevent the exclusive organization of class or race which must follow the do-nothing policy. Doing this Peremptorily and in good faith Mr, Boyce thinks that there is nothing to fear from the votes or other action of the colored people. What they want in the meantime is evidence of an inclination to deal with them justly and fairly in and out of tne convention, This, and not party pledges, should govern the selection of candidates,” Controversy among the Departments—Patent Statintion. A controversy bas been going on for the past few Weeks in the Department of tho Interior between the Commissioner of Patents and the Commissioner of Pen- sions in reference to the rooms occupied by the clerks of their respective bureaus in the Patent Office.. The difl- culty seems to be thoroughty uncompromising in its character, Neither of them show any disposition to yield, and meanwhile the business of the Patent Oflico is falling bebiad’to such an extent that it will require a very long time before it can be transacted within a ren- sonable time after lis reception, Congress, before it adjourned, authorized the Commissioner of Patents to Appoint several additional examiners and clerka, These appointments Mr, Theaker declines to make, for the reason that there is not sufficient room im the limits to which his bureau-is prescribed to accommortate the in- crease of force, so that if appointed they would be on the roi gf the Department and drawing pay while they would be wugble to perform their dn In this action the Commissioner has the approval of the Secretary of the Intorior, It i understood that Congress, soon after the erection of the building, passed a feaolu- tion, one ciause of which was that no part of the Patent | Office building should he used by any other department or bureau than the Patent Office, The resolution was | passed on the Sa of March before it was | engrossed, and on next day, when it camo in engrossed for approval, the clause above mentioned was not included. Secretary Me(tel- lan, who was then Secretary of the Interior, moved his office into the building im the spring of 1853, and was soon followed by the indian Burean, Land OMice, Pen- sion Office and Agricultural Department, It is not a little singular that the Secretary of the Interior door not interpose his authority to decide the veved question. A portion of the Pension clerks are now occupying a sopa- rate building, and there is no good reason apparent why the rest of the bureau should not do likewise. One objection urged against renting a boilding for the Pension Offico was that Congress had made no apprépnation to pay the rent, To this Mr. Theaker replied that so great was his desire to obtain the space requisite for the office that the Inte- rests of inventors might not be prejudiced, ho would pay the rent of a building or for the Pension Office out of the Patent Office (und until Congress made an appropriation for the purpose, The Commissioner of Patents is cop- vinced that something must speedily be done to give the office greater space, The business of the Patent Office is increasing to a surprising extent, The number of now patents granted in the week ending May 23 was 802 The number to be granted in the woek ending onthe 4th instant is 223, and the number in the week ending on the 11th instant is 271, Caveats that rarely ever exceeded the number of two or three hundred a year, in 1866 numbered 1,000, and this year will run up to 2,700, In 1864 the number of applications re- ceived for new patents was about 6,000, In 1865 the number was 9,000. In 1866 it was 15,000, and if the present activity continues the number of mew patents applied for this year will reach 25,000. Survoy of the Owahn Indian Reservation.’ ‘The Commissioner of the Genoral Land Office has re- celved information that the survey of the Omaha Indian reservation 1s being. pushed forward with every prospect of early completion. Foor parties, under ex. perienced surveyors, are now in the field, and it is ex- pected the survey will be finished eariy in June, Tne prosecution of the work has been unavoidably delayed by the extraordipary Iaeness of the season and the ¢ treing high waisr in the Misidtri and other streams. ‘The work was renewed this spring more than three weeks before the ‘snow had disappeared, yot half @ month later than hed been intended had the season proved an ordinary one The Missouri river overflowing the bottoms, caused much additional delay. The reservation, under a treaty of March 6, 1865, has b@&n divided into Northern and Southern portions, The former bas been sold to the ‘United States and is now occupied by the Winnebago Indians, and the latter by the Omahas. Upon the com- pletion of the surveys, assignments will be made of land to the Indians under the stipulations in the treaty. No white persons are to be allowed to reside on the reserva- tions except under permits from the Superintendent of Indian Afiaira, Deaf Mutes Drowned. ‘This morning about five o'clock, asa number of the students of the National Deaf Mute College in this city ‘were swimming in the eastern branch of the Potomac, foot of Tennsylvania avenue, two of their number, James Croas, of Alleghany City, Pa., and Malachi Holio- well, of Hudsonville, Lil, were drowned. It is probable they were seized with cramps, Both were flag swim- mers, Interesting to Claimants for Bounty, &c. The Second Auditor receives bundreds of letters daily inquiring into the condition of claims for back pay and bounty, anda urging their specdy setilement. When Applications have been exarmined and found correct in form they are put on file for settlement, and are taken up m their regular order and without unnecessary delay, and as the answering of such letters would in no manner benefit claimants, but occupy mach time which ‘would otherwise be devoted to the settlement of claims, parties will hereafter be notified in each casein tho letter announcing the correctness of application that all correspondence relating to the claims must be consid - ered as terminated until final adj sstmont, Nerthern Capltaliate Prospecting in Georg! It ws stated that a party of Northern caprtalista, num- bering perhaps forty, will visit Savannah in the early part of September, for the purpose of making a pros. pecting tour through Southern and Southwestern Goor- gia, It is stated that they represent twenty million dol- lars worth of capital, a considerable amount of which will be invested in improved and unimproved lands on and near the route of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, if they can be purchased on reasonable terma The ulterior object contemplated by these capitalists is the settle. ment of a colony of Northern farmors, who are to culti- ‘vate the lands as tenants for s specified term of years, ‘when they will become proprietors. ‘The Freedmen’s Saving and Trust Company. ‘The following is the official statement forthe month of April of the Freodmen’s Saving and Trust Company, ‘organized and controlled by the Freedmen’s Bureau :— $2,278 New vn, New York City Norfolk, Va.

Sm;—For reasons which are doubtless well understood by you, it bis not been in my power to present formally to his Exceliency, President Juarez, my letters of ore- dence as Envoy Extraordinary aud Minister Plenipoten- Uary of the United States to the Republic of Mexico, The instrnotionsof October last, under which I started on my mission, give me a discretionary power in a cer- tain contisgency to establish my official residence temporarily at any place in the United States, or elsewhete near the fgontier or coast of Mexico, For caugee not necessary herein to be explaided, I left Matamorosand came to this city in December last, since which ¢ims, uuder instructions from the Secretary of State, it his been the place of my official abode, ‘Tho government of the United States has observed with muc) satisfaction the withdrawal of the French expeditionary forces, in Mexico and the advance of the armies ofthe constitutional government towards the cap- ital of the republic, This gatisfaction has been recently disturbed by the reports it has received in regard to the severity practiced on the prisoners of war taken by your armies ot Zacatecas, Its fears, too, have been thereby excited that in the event of the capture of the Prince Maximilian and the forces under him this severity might be repented, I have this day received by telegraph a despatoa from the Secretary of State, instructing me to expressto his Exceliency President Juarez these appre- hensiors in the most expeditious manner, Therefoer I communicate them by special bearer of despatches, The government of the United States has sincerely sympathized with the republic of Mexico, and feels a deep interest in ita success, But Ihave to express the belief that a repetition of the reported severities referred to would shock its sensibilities and check the current of its sympathies, It is believed that such acts to prisoners of war as aro reported cannot elevate the obaracter of the Mexican States in the estimation of civilized people, bgiog taip dterepyte the eause of repab and retard ite progress everywhere. The gov- ernment instructs me to make known to President Juarez, promptly and earnestly, its desire, that in case of the capture of the Prince Maximilian and his sapport- ors, they may receive the humane treatment accorded by civilized nations to prisopers of war.
