The Internal Progress of Brazil—Mer Railvoeds aud Steamship Communication, An Impervial Opinion of the Americans, Tho Palace of Sao Christovac—Its Ap- proaches, Its Interior and Its Lmbellishments. Rro JANEmo, May 23, 1971, A few days since, in conversation with Mr, Robert clinton Wright, United States Chargé 1’ Affatres to the empire of Brazil, !expressed to hima destre to obtain a special interview, as a UrraLp correspoud- ent, with his Majesty Dom Pedro IL, and was as- sured by Mr. Wright that he would endcavor to facilitate my object. Accordingly, on Friday, the 19th Instant, Mr. Wright made application, through the Minister of the empire, asking whether it would be convenient for his Majesty co see me. On the following day the Minister replied, stating that the Emperor would receive me at ten o'clock tis morn. | ing, at the Palace of Sno Christoevao. At half-past nine o’ciock this morning [started for the palace tn a good-looking barouctic, drawn by two drab mules, the distance ¢o be traversed weing betweon three aud four miles to the northera. environs of the city. Away through the Campo Santa Anna and the suburb of Sao Christovao the Mutes scampered at a fine pace, and soon Wwe were Within sight of the palace, pere.ed wiite and com- pactly on the hillsides, with the peaks of Tijaca and Corcovado, like sentinels on the mountain ridge, Keeping watch and ward over the monarch’s hone, Within about haifa mile of the front of the palace the road leads through an arched gateway, sur- mounted by the crowa and arms of the emptre, and Guarded by a couple of swarthy Iadian sentinels, in the national infantry unlform of dark blue, with ‘wedge-shaped caps. Orange trees, bananeiras, mangos, breadfruit trees, jaboticubvas, the folla ta- dependencia, the gracetul mamet, a dozen species of acacia, and innumerable varicties of georgeousiy | colored flowers lmed the road in the gardens or orchards, and a good Belgian pavement chuked sharply under the hoofs of the quick-stepplng mules, A few hundred paces from the gate the road branciied of abruptly to the left, and the ascending grade to the hill on which the palace stands is very perceptibic. This roud is paved like the one Thad Just left, but more neatly and even fanciful, a large diamond pattern of dark slate-colered stone being Wrought in the light gray granite. A wall, about five feet in height, borders each side of tho road, and over this barrier a thousand rare trees and Now- era shed their fragrance or their smilies, while a row of royal palms on either hand form a fitting avenue | of approach to the house on the hill. Having reachea the summit the palace stands up In bright relief in the clear morning suntight—a neat quadrangular building in the renaissance style of architecture, composed of @ pinkish white stone, with projecting angles, a great many windows and Altogether a cool, summery appearance that sug- gests comfort and calm im this warm tropical cll- mate, Anumber of swarthy soldiers are playing witha dog at the guard house, on the leit of the Jawn, in front of the palace, and nalf a dozen other uniformed seniries, off duty, are leaning against tae Pillars near the southern portico or reciiming lazily on thesteps, My cochievo ts a quidnunc in his way, and naving been frequently employed in carrying visitors to the palace he knows where I am to enter, and whips his long-eared animals up to the northern entrance, Here I alighted, passed up the steps, and entering tho doorway, the sentinel motions me to pro- ceed, Along this passage some distance I turned: to the left and ascended a broad mahogany or rose- wood staircase, with two pure whiteblooded and neatly dressed sentries standing at the top. At the right of the stairs a group of arms, burnished and tastefully arranged in the form of a “trophy,’’ oc- cupy acorner of the vestibule. These weapons, I understand, are actual trophies from the Paraguayan war, and a large dark hanging, or curtain, blazoned tn gold with the arms of Brazil, droops over aud Jorms a showy background, A broad doorway stands open in front of me and leads to a large rectangular hall, the floor and aide panelling of which appears to be of black oak. This apartmentis Hghted on both sides by windows, large handsome chandeliers depend from the ceiling, and several life size oll portraits of men distinguisned in the annals of tthe empire grace the walls, A little green tapestry, trimmed with yellow, these bemg the predominant na- tional colors, ornaments the window casings, One of the sentries, a bright eyed fellow with snow= white cros#-belts and burnishedscales and buttons, directs me to a door atthe further end of the long hall I have just described, and bids me turn to the left. The waxed oak floor rings harshly almost as my boot heels strike its polished surface, and the wails of the great apartment echo the clatter, Turning through the door to the left, as directed, i reach asmall room where are seated perhaps a dozen ladies all dressed in deep black ; apparently 4 deputation of widows, making & call upon some member of the imperial househvid. Several ushers aro founging on & piazza or gallery with veranda Toof just ond, and I pass through the bevy of widows (?) {o reach these gentiemen of leisure and deportment, To one of them I state the nature of my visit and he bids me await while he notifies the Emperor. I am now free to examine the sur- roundi This gallery extends around three sides of a large open court, or paiio, that forms & central enclosure of the palace. In the centre o neat three-tier foun- tain throw! parking jet of water, that falis piash tuto the basin beneath, treea and acacias are planted in and a few orange the grassy lawn, This lawn Is traversed by gravelled waiks crossing it diagoi of from coruer to corner, and the gallery on which f am standing forms a portico to the ‘surround.ng pavement beneath, On the opposite side of the court—the one side which ts not galleried—stands the palace chapel, & plain hiutle white bailding, surmounted by a cross, aud with a small belfry. The door of the chapel stands open, but adark blue embroidered curtain half ob- scures the view into tne building. Still enough of the interior can seen to show that it ja tastefully fitted, and a few candies are burning with dim and — stead light on asmalialtar, A priest with long flowing robes passes along the courtyard and disappears through ‘a doorway to ine lett of the chapel, while negro ser- vants are seen fitting hither and thither below. 1 fay servants here, and do not mean slaves, for his Majesty some time since set the example of emanci- Paton by giving feeiom to his slaves, and all his service 18 now performed by free men and women, ‘As [Jean upon the railing of the balcony musin upon the scene in the court yard, Lam conscious 0: a gentle touch upon my elbow, and turning around 1 am confronted py a negro beggar.

An then, again, the success of railways depends very much on the locality. ‘They should only be projected wisely, upon yery careful consideration of the ne- cessities of certain portions of the country for such communication. CORRESPOXDENT—Very true. Pern realized the funds to build her roads by mortgaging her great guano deposits, and ts buliding her roads with the proceeds at a rate that seems ainost reckless. Does our Majesty recollect the number of railroads now n your empire? ‘The EMPEXOR—There are about twelve lines of railway of different lengths completed and_ pro- Jected; but some of them are very short, ana five of them are only projected; ua) Work has not been commenced om them.

Our country 1s not so energetic as the United States, Brazilians have not yet got suMcient go- ahead inthem. Americans are the “go-atead’’ peo- ple.

Jonni Faron, Jr., Comunssiouer of Education, has just returned bere from the South, naving made an extensive tour of inspeciion among ihe schools in all ue Southern Atlantic and Gulf Stutes, He re- ports that there are about 2,809 schools now in Operation ip Virginia, The Jef Davis mansion ac Richimoniis being converted ito a& public school while there are two now schoul houses be- ed there, at an expease of not tess than $20,000 each. Tie principal of the Petersburg High } School for colored pupils was on General Lee’s stat @uriug the war, and is now one of the most zeaious | advocates of the fi ol system i tho State of Virginia. The Supert i tend of Education at Rich- mond was also an officer in the Confederate army, ‘There was much in Virginta, a3 well as tn the other Southern States, that was gratifying, while there were very maay tings that were discouraging and unfavorable to the work of progressive free schools, In North Carolina he found that the Legisiature had reduced the salary of the State Superintendent and deprived him of any clerical assistance, for no other purpose except to impair the efficiency and usefulness of @ friend of tae cammon school system. In many parts of North Carvlina the teachers of Schoois Lad received threatening tetters from the Ku Klux, warning them to quit the State or remain at their avocation at the perii of their lives, At Raleigh, the capttal of tie State, the only edifice used for the schools for whites was a dilapidated building, @ mere shell, and wholly unfit tor that purpose. The Quakers have done considerable to establish good schoolain some parts of the State, At Wilmington the schoots established just after the city was taken possession of by our army have been bought by the city authorities, and are in a flourish- ing condition, One of these was the school started by Amy Bradley, of Boston, who 1s now an active supporter of the prescut school system and one of the county examiners, In South Carolina the superintentent is a zealous worker and ts doing the best he can under the cir- cumstances to improve the free school system. In some parts the schools are very good, while in the western part, particularly, they are of an inferior grade. Tne Churleston sciools are all reported in good order. In Georgia the law providing for a common school system was only passed at the last session of the Legislature, Tho State Superintendent has been appointed, and it is proposed to open the schools in the fall, At present the authorities are struggling over the question of appropriations for the pur- pose, which somewhat retards the preparatory work. In Alabama the free school system has been in operation two years, with fair success, and in many of the large towns and cities there are very emlc! schools. There 1s, nevertheless, much oppos in certain parts of ihe State to allowing the scuvois to exist. Mississippl, perhaps, of all the Sonthern States has the inost extensive [ree school system, there belog upwards of 3,000 schools now tn operation, Here, as clsewhere, there t4 much opposition and persecution of the teache In many instances the schools lave been broken up and the teache: driven away, There Is alarge number of ex-Coi ferate soldiers engaged In teaciing, and wherever the schools are once firmly estab'ished the oppoai- tion ceases. The system of supporting the schools in this State is an admirable one, and does much to popularize the new plan of educating the masses, In Lonisiana there are about 409 schools, ontside ot New Oricans, The diiicnity here 1s that the State Supreme Court has decided against the power to maintain schools under the Legislative enact- ment, and consequen ly in all parts of the State the Schools are embarassed for want of funds. In ‘texas the Legislature has {use passed & school law, and the only one enacted $ that has @ compulsory clause requiring children to atiend school, ‘The State Superintendent and a Board of Edueation have been appointel. Funds are at command, and will be judicivusiy used. The schools will be opened in the fall, Governor Davis is giving the subject his earnest atten.ton. The ; State constabulary have thus far beeu very success- ful In preserving good order throughout the Staic. ‘The Tennessee schools are reported to be ia fair condition and constantly improving. Commissioner Barnard did not visit Arkansas, but says the free school system is more completely successiul in that State tian m any otner of the Southern States, and comes nearer the Northern system. The school tax has been reduced by the Legislature, which may limtt the effictency of the schools during the ensa: ng year, ‘The States of Delaware, Maryland and Kentuc WA as ever, are opposed to teaching “the young idea how to shoot.!?

In his cross-examination Mr. Gonge stated taat his report might have been dated January 9; that it was printed and was signed by himself anda Mr. Apell, 2 revenue clerk, thenin Drookiys neher sought to show by the cross examination that the application of witness for the bo was maie after ihe witness had rendered his report to Dr Lanaban; but Gouge was perfectly obitylous of dates and im- pressions, Some unimportant disenssion took place on the standing of Mr. Apell, after which Judge Rey- nolds took the stand and corroborated Mr. Gouge’s report of refusai of books and his own subsequent refusal of the same by Dr. Carlton; the application was not further pressed, because he (Reynolds) nad had an understanding with Mr. Fancher that, if Dr. Lanahan would withdraw his answer to the charge in the January trial and sign certain papers, tho Goodenough suit would be withdrawn. This state- ment was positively denied by Mr, Fancher, who said he had no control whatever over the Good- enough suit, and could not have made any such promise, But what he did say to Judge Reynolds and the sub-committee which arranged the quashing of the former trial was that he would use his in- Muence wih Mr. Goodenough to have that suit stopped, because he did not believe in SUING METHODIST PREACHERS, an had strongly advised against the bringlug on of this case, There was an apparent discrepancy be- tween the statements of both counsel, of which botn were pretty positive in asserting. Q Did I aot say to you that if Dr. Lanahan would make @ proper retraction L had no dowst the Good. enough sult would be discouttnued, and did not you subsequently report that you could not get Dr. Lana- han to do anything? A. Iam pcsitive I never reported anything of the sort, because | never con- suited him about tt and never had anything to do with the Goodenough suit. Q.

Mr. Buckley corroboraied Judge Rey: nolds in regard to the retusai of Dr. Carlton to g! him access to the books, The defence then called Dr, Lananan to testify us to the relations of the two agents since Dr. 1. an’s appointment to office. But Mr. Fancher objected to go back to tne food for testimony to be brought forward in this case. There is here a cirect Issue Which they must try, This potnt of denial of access to books and papers wes never brought to issue until Uctober, 1870, when the committee, after suspenuing Dr. Lanalan, made an order allowing him such access, and ever since he has had the treest access, Judge Reynolds took the ground that as coagent | Dr. Lanaban had as full a rigut to examine any books or papers of the Concern as Dr, Ca.iton, aad they proposed now to stiow that prior to October, 1870, Dr, Lanalian had bad no suca right. Der. ahan then took the siand and testified to matters connected with the Goodenough suit, sud his re- peated application to Dr. Cariton for the books tor his defence, and the latter's refasal of the same, FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE MANDAMUS Was applied for he made an application again and was refused, but Dr. Carlion then said that he (Lan- ahan) might take any book he pleased to court when needed, At the same time Dr. Carlton asked what Dr. Lanahan expected to prove from the books in the Goodenough smt, to which Dr. Lanahan replied that Carlton's relations to Goodenough were such Vhat he (Lanalian) could not reply. At thls potut a recess was taken, Upon reassembling Dr. Lananan continued his evidence In @ similar strain, but much more in de- tail, but with very few material facts being elicits The range of evidence was so wide and so immate- rial that counsel for the prosecution had frequently to object and finally to ask for a decision from we Chairman, who decided the evidence irrelevant, Q.
