Mr. Poabody’s Will—His Fortune Devoted to Works of Churity—His Last Bequest te the London Poor—Prepnrations For His Fa- meral, Sauem, Mass., Nov. 17, 1809. Since the death of George Peabody, the great mi!- Honaire and liberal benefactor, there has been an futernational mourning as well as a universal curi- osity to learn something of the disposition of the vast fortune which the generous philanthropist was believed to have left behind. During his life Mr. Peabody executed two wills, the first of which was drawn up by Mr. Rand,- a Bos- ton lawyer, since decensed, After its execu- tion he added so largely to his previous Wealth that it became necessary to execute a new instrument. This was done on his last visit to this country. It 1s not yet definitely known what are the Precise nature and mode of its bequests, A proml- nent gentleman of Salem and an intimate persona’ friend of the family had a conversation with Mr, Peabody on this subject just before the latter's final departure from America, in Which occurred the fol- lowing colloquy:— “Well, Mr. Peabody, after so many generons gifts there will not be a great deal left for your heirs,” “No, sir,” was the reply, “nor do f moan there shali be. 1 mean to make a still {urther donation towards the London poor and perhi add wo my [pital gifts in other directions. hat I leave, jowever, Will be cloar of the legacy duties, for it wil certainly not exceed $1,000,000,"" It ia presumes jin? the last will and testament of Mr. Peabody will admitted to probate in the Pre- rogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and that a copy will therefrom be “extracted” and fied in the probate oifice in this city. Already preparations are being made for the funeral of the lamented deceased upon the arrival of his remains from England, A town meeting nas been calied in his native town of Peabody (once Danvers), and a liberal appropriation for the obse- guile, will _undouptedly be made. The Peabody institute, which he founded, was closed upon the morning his death was announced, and it will not be opened until his remains are deposited tn their last resting place. Ever since his death hia noble gifts and his worthy traits of charac- ter have been the constant topics of conversation in Essex county, and those who know him best agree in denying the published reports that during the past few months of his life he totally disregarded the advice of his physicians. On the contrary be was singularly atrict in obeying their tustructions regarding his health, and his every habit was regu- lated ny lis medical advisers. MISSOUR!. Increave of Trade at St. Lonis—Heavy Storm at the West—Indian Troubles Feared in the Spring. Sr. Lovts, Noy. 17, 1869, Mayor Cole, in his message to the City Council yesterday, estimates that the amount of produce sent from here to points south of Cairo 1s twice aa large as before the war, and the amount of manu- factured articles tenfold as great. He recommends still further extension of the city wharves and strongly urges the abattoir system. The weather turned cold last night and froze sharply. The mercury now stands at 34 dong. ‘The storm prostrated the telegraph lines in nearly all directions. General Hazen, commander of the District ot Lower Arkansas, passed through here to-day en route for Louisville. In regard to the Indians he said they were discontented, and some trouble is anticipated in the spring. He thinks two regiments of troops will be necessary to preserve order. Judge Knight decided to-day in the Circuit Court that he had no authority to rage an injunotion nee the County Court m the matter of the sale of Pacific Ratlroad stowx to Huason C. Bridges, ‘The petition was therefore dismissed. KENTUCKY, Reunion of the Army of the Tennessee. - LOUISVILLE, Nov, 17, 1869, The Society of the Army of the Tennessee inet at half-past one o'clock to-day. The meeting was called to order by General G. M. Dodge, first Vice President.

Suit Agninst Members of a Vigilance Come mittee. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 17, 1869. Benjamin Shelbonan and John Watts have tnsti- tuted a suit against Robert Caruthers, Jack Allen and eleven others, claiming $60,000 damages. The plaintifts state that the defendants, acting as a vigi- lancecommittee, in order to extort some confession regarding crimes committed in Jefferson and Spencer counties, hung them until they were almost dead, and upon the plaintiffs refusing. to reply to the demands of the defendants they wero ordered to cong the country under penalty of death. Hence the suit, MASSACHUSETTS. Singular Case of Mistaken Identity—Lavine, the Diamond Thief—Arrest of Railroad Thieves. Boston, Nov. 17, 1869, ‘The oficial returns of the late Massachusetts State election show the following result for Govern- or:—Whole number o1 votes, 133,510, William Claf- lin recerved 74,106; John Quincy Adams, 50,735; Ed- win M.

The clerks still stick to thelr identification, notwithstal aie the proof of Lavine’s confinement here, aud the muiter is warmly discussed, A theory advanced to explain the afar, whether trae or false, ls somewhat as fol- lows:—Lavine has wealthy friends in New York, who took means to post Mr. Allen’s clerks as to Lavine’s personnel and the location of his ceil, aud the result ‘was What has been stated.

Report of the Indian Pence Commaission, France Honoring tho Memory of George Peabody, Wegro Equality and the License Question. Wasninaron, Nov. 11, 1869, A Fronch War Veasol to Convoy the Remains of George Peabody Home. The Navy Department received a cable despatch to-day from our Minister at Paris stating that the French Minister of Marine had sent a man-of-war to accompany the Engiish and American war yessela in bringing home the remains of George Peabody. Heavy Defaication in the Navy—A California Paymaster’s Accounts Short $140,000. There 18 @ good deal of exaggeration about tho reports of defalcations among the paymasters of the navy. It was stated @ few days ago that one vaymaster on the Pacific coast was short in his accounts some $400,000, This probably referred to Paymaster W. G. Marcy, who was 6ta- tioned at the navy yard at Mare Island, Cal, and who, it is asserted, 1s a defaulor to the amount of $140,000. Marcy had drawn @ requisition for $180,000 additional; but this was stopped by Admiral Porter and the money recovered, As soon ag It was discovered that Marcy's account was short to the sum indicated above, ne turned all his property over to the Navy Department, by way of making restitution. It turns out, however, that his assets are by no means equal to his liabilities, and as his bond is only $25,000, the indica- tions are that the government will be the loser, Marcy, itis thougnt, went into speculations, using the government money, and became the victim of certain sharpers in San Francisco, who cleaned him out, The accounts of some other paymasters are reported as short, but it is believed that they can account satisfactorily, with one exception, for the money entrusted to inem. This whole trouble has grown out of the loose manner tn which the business of the Navy Department was conducted under the venerable Gideon Welles. It appears that paymas- ters were in the labit of drawing at pleasure upon the department, and very often drew for more than was necessary to meet all their disbursements, In most instances the surplus fund was used for purposes.of private speculation. So common had this practice become that when the present administration came into power the Secretary of the Navy, at the tnstance of Adnural Porter, found it necessary to issue a gene- ral order wherein commanding officers, before approving requisitions upon the department, were required to first inlorm themselves fully of the amount of fuuds already in the hands of the officer making the requisition; eec- ond, ascertain definitely the objects tor which additionai funds are required, and in no case append their approval unless fully satis. fled the interests of the service require it, In addition to this paymasters were strictly enjoined to limit their requisitions on the department to such amounts as were absolutely necessary for immediate use. This putastop to the wholesale drawing tor money on the part of the paymasters, Since then a system of checks has been adopted by Admiral Porter, whereby he can tell just how much each pay* master ought to draw and how his account stands with the department, so that he is not allowed to keep on hand large balances unemployed. This 19 among the most important of the reforms adopted by Admiral Porter in the management of the business of the Navy Department. Under the old system, and with all the irregularities incident to the war, it is impossible to tell how much was lost to the government. Report of the Indian Peace Commissioners. The Indian Peace Commission met at the Interior Department at ten o'clock this mormiyg. ‘There were present Messrs, George H. Stuart, Felix R, Brunot, W. E. Dodge, Nathan Bishop and John V. Farrell. Letters of regret at not being able to attend were read from Henry &. Lane, of indiana, and E. 8 Tobey, of Boston, members of the Commission. Tho Commission organized for business by the eleciton of Felix P. Brunot, of Pittsburg, as chairman, vice William Weich, of Philadelphia, resigned, aad John Y, Far- well of Uhicago, as secretary. The sub-committee appointed at the last meeting of the Commission to visit the plains and examine into and report upon the conditions und wants of the Indians subinitied a rather lengthy but interesting report. This, with the general report of the Commission, will be appended to the report of the Secretary of the Interior and sent to Congress, The Committee on Purchases, of which George H. Stuart is Chair- man, reported that they had personally superin- tended and had inspected all the recent purchases for the Indian Bureau, amounting to upwards of $100,000. The purchases were made mostly in New York and Philadeiphia, at the lowest cash prices, After being purchased they were taken to a ware- housé provided for the purpose, where they were inspected without the owners being preseni. The members of the Commission called upon the Presi- dent, the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of War during the day, ‘The President, upon being informed by the chairman of the main points in the report of the Commiasioners and of the recommendations which they had made, ex- pressed bis salisfactiom with the plan they had adopted and hoped it would secure the rights of the Indians a8 against the traders and others, who have beon in the habit of cheating them, and promote thetr civilization, The new Secretary of War prom- ised to co-operate with the Commission in their labors among the Indians, as did also the Secretary ofthe Interior, In the matter of purchasing goods for the Indian Bureau it 18 estimated that a large amount of money has been saved to the government, while the Indians will get the full value of the appro- priations made for them by Congress, The Commis- sion finally adjourned this eventog, The Census of 1870—Plan of the Select Com- mittee of the House of Representative: ‘To-day being the time set for the commencement of the sessions of the select committee of the House of Representatives on the ninth census General Gar- field, of Ohio; Mr. Wilkinson, of Minnesota, and Mr. Haldeman, of Pennsylvania, met at noon, at the Capitol, in tho room of the Committee on Banking and Currency. The full committee ap- pointed by the Liouse of Representatives last session | consists of nine members, the following gentlemen composing it, in addition to those already inen- tioned:—Stokes, of Tennessee, chairman, who will be here in a few days; Banks, of Massachusetts; Allison, of Iowa; Latin, of New York; Cullom, of Illinois, and Schumacker, of New York, The micet- ing of a portion of the committee to-cay was merely preliminary, and, though there was not a quoram in attendance, and consequently there was no power to act, the gentlomen present deliberated upon a | plan of business which they will submit to their col- | leagues for their adoption, The labors of the com- mittee will bo directed to two leading features in | the work before them—first, the taking the census, that is, what officers shail be appointed and how the census shall pe taken, ant second, what subjecta shall be embraced in th achedulea to be distributed among the persons en- | gaged in the work of collecting the information. | machinery of | Those of the committee now here appreciate the im- | portance of the coming census, During the past | decade the war of the rebellion was fought and ended, Immigration, particularly within the past few years, has been unparalleled; the manufactur- ing, agricultural and mineral resources of the coun- try have been expanded to a wonderful degree; the entire internal condition of the country, in popula- tion, finance and industry, has adyanced be- yond any conception on the part of foreign nations, and «it will be the desire of the committee to give the world an amount of au- thentio statistics which will go far to enlighten strangers upon the material prosperity of the United States. To use the words of General Gai fio\d:—""The consus should ba werx fall, comnlaia, | further negotiations with Mr. Baez. and, above all, accurate, Europe wants to know whether we are dead or alive alter sucha great war. ‘They want to Know whether there is @ man who ts BOL wounded. They want to know about our growth and resourcea, and we should not let the op- portunity pass to give them information,'’ The plan to be adopted can only be surmised, The custom in the past has been to assign the duty to the Marshal's oMce. This 1s likely to be opposed, on the ground that the Mar- shal and hls deputies have naturally unpleasant re- lations with a large number of people and are gene- rally odious characters, to say the least of them. To turn the work over to the Internal Revenue depart- ment i4 considered still more objectionable, for the same reasons that the gentlemen of this subordinate branch of the government are less loved than the other officials, ‘he portion of the committee now here propose that the census be taken by an inde- pendent body of men, possessing satisfactory rela- ions with the people and those to whom they would make proper returns. A proposition will be mado looking to the appointment of a superintendent by the President and deputies in charge of the larger States to superintend the labors of the census takers in the districts, The committee will meet daily, in order to be able to report early in the session of Congress. Avcording to the law it will be necessary that all the arrangements shall have been made so as to commence taking the census on the ist of June, 1870.
