Tild by the Century Club, the details of the avrangemenis made for the funeral of the late Inspector Carpenter, a report of the 7«&! meeting of the Board of A en held on Satur- jay, the monctary reviess, the markets and other wnterest- ing matter. If we are to credit late advices from Vers Criz, Maximilian's preparations for leaviog Mexico are ina forward state, 85 boxes of his lugguge having arrived at that port. These are eaid to bo only & part of his traps. The retiring monaroh’s baggage would seem to be on an imperial scale. The statemont is 8130 1oade that ha is about appropristing to his own use * several valuable ¢id paintings and other Mexi- can relica.” A Washington dispatel says that Preaident Juarez intends ordering an election to take place for Presi- dent and Membars of Congress in accordsnce With | the Moxican Constitution, and that he Laa remained in power beyond the tarm for which he was eleoted, solely with the view of saving the Rop bl threatensd with ruin by Louis Naj The question arises, however, has Juarez the constitu- tional right to order such an eloction? Itis contended by the Ortega party that he is an usurper. If thoy aro right, then clearly the order for an election would be uncenstitutional, and the diffoulty presented by the rival olaims of the Prosident de facto and the indi- vidual olaiming office de jure would remain unsolved. P — Mr. Charles G. Cornell has long held the highly responsible and Jucrative office of Street Cowmis- sioner. Last Fall, b was elected State Senator. Some weeks ago, the Citizens' Association submitted tothe Governor & long series of apacific charges of cor- ruption and malversation ia office by Cornell, allagad to Lave been committed in the discharge of his official duties. The Governor at once motified Mr. C., and gave him thirty days wherein to file his answer. ‘When those days were drawing to a olose, we undar- stand that applic the time, which Gov. F. felt constrained to refuse, and uamed ex-Judge James K. Whiting as a reforee to take testimony in the case. The comy were ready with their counsel and witnes: sorntiny waited only for the defendant; when lo ! on Judge Whiting as prejudiced, and uufit to act as roforee, and Gov. Fenton for sppointing him. So Mr. Cornell evades the serutiny meditated—for, since Mr. C. is out of office, he is no longer subject to the Governor's power, and the referee, we apprehead, cannot go un with the case. We cherish a lively hope that this is not the end of the matter. The charges preferred against Mr. Cor- nell are such as, if sustaived, should consign him to s felon's cell 45 a gigantic and most impudent swindler nd robber. We shall not judge him in advance of & trial, but we insist that he must mow court a trial. He says that Judge Whiting is his enemy; he cannot truly say that the law is his enemy. Let him, then, dare the Citizens' Association to bring their cha to the notice of our next Grand Jury, and let him duce his friend, A. Oakey Hall, to consent before- hand that the Citizens' Association may prosecute the case through every stage without interference on his part. If Mr. Cornell is not & thief, be is greatly be lied and misjudged, and the verdict of a jury will e good for him. e We understand that Secretary McCulloch has set down his foot against further removals of faithful and capable Revenue officers to give places to greedy and pushing place-hunters. We are much obliged for many of the removals hitherto made, since they have swelled our Republican majorities; but no m re needed on that account, snd we think the business might as well stop right here. We Lave not a doubt that the revenue of the current fiscal year will be considerably reduced by the changes already made. In collecting revenue from internal sources, experi- ence is of great value; & new assessor and collector cannot detect and preclude rogueries and evasions nearly so well as their predecessors. We infer that President Johnson acquiesces, if be does not fully coincide, in the decision of the head of the Treasury Department. If %0, the result must be advantageous to the Revenue and gratifying to the country. e TERMS OF RECONSTRUCTION — LETTER FROM 0. A. BROWNSON. Te the Editer of The N. ¥. Tribune. Sik: If I understand your platform, you propose 10 concede universal suanesty, or purdon, to all engaged in late Rebellion, in exchange for Impartial Sufirage ; that is, in exchange for franchise bused on no distintion of ruce, caste. or complexian. This, it is most likely, the Democratic purty are nearly prepared to sceept, instesd of the Constitutionsl Amendment proposed by Congress ; and the South soon will be. 1 hiave 1o objections to either Inmpartia) Suffrage or t versa) Amnesty for the people guilty only of rebe you very well know ; but will you permit me to ask, first, if you propose to establish Impartial Suflrage by an st of Con- gress, by o Constitutions] Amendiment, o by theact of the severa) State Legislatures or Couventions) sud, weeond whether yoo give up all Constitutionsl guarantees sgainst the sasumption Ly Coogress of the Coufederate debt, und the ve pudiation of the National debt ¢ In regard to the first, 1 would remark that the question of Suffrage, under the Constitution ay it is, belongs 1o the States v and eaeh decides tor iteelf wio shall or skall not Le voters: nud Congress bas 5o authority to legislate on the subject. Amending the Constitutlon 0 s to give the suthority to Congress, wonld mar tie besuty of our Federal system, destroy the equilibriutn between the States and the Union, and tend to consclidation or the centralization of the gover- wentul power iw the General Government. 1t would, in prin ciple, completely revelutionize the Constitution of the country. To leave the establishment of | Imipartia) Suffrage to the seversl States, each for itself, ofiers ve efficient guaranty et L. The States may adopt Impartial Sufirage to-duy, and reéi- ter the Union, and prokibit te-morrow wll fuegroes dnd colored uen from voting, and restrict Suffruge to White mon alone. 1t seems 1o we, then, that Impartial Sufirage, ae & condition prece- dest 1o restoration, is exceodingly costatesmaniike, and would, i prectice, either prove Tugetory orbarmfl, 1 think tle ne- groes skould be distinetly recognized s free and equal citizens of the United States, aud the several States loft free to enfran chise them in their ewn way and time, accordivg 1o their own wisdom aud judgment, or not, es they judge best. In regard to the second, the loyal people wart an ample yuer- anty that Congress shail never repudiate the National debt, ror assume the Confederate debt. You, doubtless, believe that you would bave this gueranty in Impartia} Suffrage; 1 s Lonestly believe that Impartial Sufirage would be just as tbat induces severa) Democratio journals to accept your plat- form. The vote of the Seutd would hardly be changed ine single locality by the enfranchisement of the emancipated slaves. You talk of the freedmen as constituting large por- tion of the loyal people of the South; but, once eure of their freedom, they will be as loyal or as disloyal &s is the domizant White class, and £o more so. It seems to me arrant sonsense to talk about the loyalty or disloyalty of people, whether White or Black, who have for generations been held in olavery, and who, five years ago, had never had & conntry or & domicile. As a rule, if we judge from all past experience, tle colored people, if enfranchised, will vote nccording to the advice of their former masters, or the socially dominant class o their respective States.

A Brownsoy Elizabeth, N. J., Nov. 13,1465 Remarks by The Tribune. L Brownson queries whothor we would bave [ir partial Suffrage eatablished by tho States, by Con- gresé, or by Constitutionai Amendment. We suswer, By them all. Wo should greatly profor that the good work would begin with the States, North and South; but wa do pot proposs to atand on ceremony. Wo hold it the true and vital intarest of each Stato to be just to her own people, and especially to bor Laboring Class. If only for her own eako, and without refor- onoe to anything but itself, we hold that Impartial Suffrago should ba promptly sdopted by osch State, 83 & means of satialying her hitherto degraded popula- tion, and making them centantal members of the body politio, raady aud proud to do aud dare in its dofonse. Wo do not want to see Impartial Buffrage preseuted to the South on the point of & conquoror's aword. 1f tho South wers to-day an independent na- tion, with bar Blacks frae, we believe her wisor statesmen woull insist on their enfranchisoment 83 & weans of inoreasiog her National atrongth, security and greatnoss. Mr. Browason thinks [mpartial Suffrage wight be reo & pressnt end, aud withdrawn when that end had been attained. We decidedly (Link otherwise; but, since there is a possibility of this, and the bars possibility is 8 aource of uneasineds, weaknoss, and peril, when every conaideration de- mands the securing of tranquillity and contentment, o at the South, we insist taat kmpartial Buf: frage be imbedded in the Federal Constitution. That will be the eud of controversy. 11 Mr. Brownson objects that this would mar the symmetry of our Federal system. We answer that this objection comes top late. It was urgad—and with great spaciousness — against the Amendmont abolishing and prohibiting Slavery throughout the Union. 1t was, undoubtedly, the rule that each State should fix conclusively the status of hor own people. It is #0 no longer. The liberties of every American citisan are now covered by the panoply of the Federal Constitution. The awendment we propose would bave marrod the symmetry of the Constitution asit was; it is neaded to perfect the symmetry of the Con- stitution aa it is. 111. Mr. Brownson thinks we shall altimately st- tain Impartia! Suffrage if the pending Constitutional Amendment is adopted. 8o do we. He is also favor- able to Universal Ampesty, and evidently thinks that also not very distant. Here, agaio, we Agroe with him. 8o far as we differ, it is mainly because it seems to us most important that the country should be harmonized, the rights of all classes established and secured, aud all the States in Congress at the earliest possible day. A grand, beneficont end is in view; and we propose to go straight to it at once, and have peace. The South needs Lundreds of millious' worth of Food, Implements, Animals, Metals, &c., &c., to enable her to rebuild all ber waste places, em- ploy all her labor, and make a great crop next year. And her prosperity is as essential to the North as to herself. There is no interest of either section which is not also the true interest of the other. Now, then, since it is plain that the Blacks are at last w be enfranchised, and that the Soutbhern Whites are to be relieved of their disabilities incurred by the Rebellion, we propose to march directly aud quickly to the end plainly in view, and thus save the country from several years more of turmoi), social anarchy, dis- orgauized industry, and general unthrift and wretched- ness. And, though we expect opposition from both extremes, we are confilent that a majority of the American people, North and South alike, concar in this view, and that their number is rapidly increasing. 1V. Mr, Brownson insists on that clause of the pending Amendment which guarantees the National sndproscribes the Rebel Debt. Mainly because we wish to leave no seeds of future strife, we concur in this. %0 we think that clause of the pending Amendment, which asserte the proper citizenskip of all our coun- trywen should be retained. It may not be eszential; but it cap do Do harm, and will add to the general feeling of security and peace. The whole land needs rest from strife and sgitation. South Carolins has, wost wikely, interwoven the Civil Rights bill into her own code. Other States are preparing to follow. Let us have an end of ell controversy eoncerning negroes and their rights, so0 s to be ready to go about our business. 11 negroes are idle, they must go hungry and ragged; if they steal, they must be punished— not a» negroes, but as men. If they have not yet Jearned that ** freedom means freedom to work,” the Winter just coming on*will teach them—with & good many otbers—that wholesome leston, V. Mr. Brownson snd we sre not o fur apart a6 he seems Lo think-—sud it is the same with the North and tke South. Let us simply give our common sense &nd Detter feelings fair play, end we shall soon come to & substantial sgreement. Mr. B.s abstractions would have prevented the abolition—or &t least the pr'vhfl:ilion—fif Slavery; but abstractions did not saveihe Union. H. 6. THE POPE'S ALLOCUTIONS. ‘While the people of Venetia, with sn unparslleled unanimity, were voting in favor of their annexation to Italy, while througbout Italy popular manifestations of joy at the consummation of the national unity were made, and while many foreign nations were ad- miringly sud jealously regarding the strengtb of the rational aspirations of Italy, one shasp, severe cen- “The allocution of the Pope, the full text of which we give in anotber column, condemrs the whole policy of that Government i terms which canpot be misunderstood. It complains, in particular, of the banishment of bishops from their dioceses, of the suppression of the religious orders,and of the introduction of civil marria, 1t studiously avoids the names of ““King of Italy” o “‘Government of Ttaly,” and uses instead the names of **Sub-Alpine Government.” It is specially severe on those ** fren- sied voices” which declare that *‘the City of Rome must shave in tho unhappy Italian perturhation aud rebellion—nay, become its capital.” The Chureh, it says, will never be overpowered, but one particular nation may loss the t-ne faith. In conclusion, it ad- jures the sovercigns to preyout with all their strength “tho torch of faith from being extinguished among them.” No one oan read the Pope’s Alloention on Italy, on tho ona hand, and the glowing desciption of tho fes- tisities colobrating the anpexition of Venetia to Raly an the other, without cleasly seelnz the irroconcilable Qisagroement between the views of the Pope and those of tho Itelian pe It canvot be said that A, majority of the latter huyo thus £ dicated any de- sign to separate from the Cutholic Church. On the contrary, the Protestant congregations, though steadily increasing, have only a snfall membership, aud 0o ons doubts that if & census were now (o be. taken the number of porsons who would declare them- selvos non-Catholics would bo very small. The differ- onot betweon the people of Ttaly and the Pope only concerns the proper line of demarcation between tho spiritaal and the secular worlds. The popular voto of Italy very strongly insists on denying to tho Chureh any influence upon secular affairs, and to this opinion the people cling, eutirely regardless of all the ecclesias- tioal consures pronounced againat those whohold such views, In rosisting the claims of the Church the Italian Goveroment has frequently bad recourse to measuros which all friends of religious liberty must rogret, auch ag, for instance, the supprossion of the monastic orders, the banishment of bishops for dis- obaying state orders on ecclesiastical affairs, and othars. But popular opinion throughout tho world strongly sympathizes with tho Italian people in their demand that all affairs of etrictly secular nature ahall ha entirely indopendent of Church logislation. This is, in particular, truo of the right claimed by tho inhabitants of the Papal territory to decide their political fata. Tho complaiuts of the I'ope against Russia will meet with more sympathy. Tho Government of Russia while nobly distinguishing itself by tho introduction of bonefioent and efficient reforms in tho administration of the Empire, is adopting measuros against tho Roman Catholic Church of Poland and Russia proper which no friend of & fres Church can approve. It issnes ordorswhich should proceed from no Govern- mont rospocting freedom of roligion. But the offi- cisnoy of the Papal allocution on Russia will hardly ba groatar than of that pronouaced on Italy. —_— THE COTTON TAX. Tho prossnt Cougross aaw fit to lovy a tax of thres canta por pound on all Cotton produced in the United Statos, payable upon its removal from the collection (or Congross) distriot whorein it is grown. The cotton-growers—who bave always hitherto atoutly insisted that & tax on any artiole was paid by the consumer—now turn a sharp corner, and insist that this tax falls wholly on the producer, They are mis- taken in this, as thay wers in the opposite assump- tion. Part of tho tax falls on the producer; the residus on the consumer. 1t is of courss disagreeable to bs taxed. Most poopla prefer that their neighbory shall pay the bulk of the taxes. The South—which pays moderately on Incomes, and under most sections of the Tax-bill— thinks she pays heavily under this; though it is eon tendod that cotton manufaotured in the district whors grown is not to pay ot all Mr. Roverdy Jobnson has pronounced thia tax un- constitutional—poerhaps without any foe. Mr Mal- coim Campball, of our city Bar, has written a pawph- Tot in support of this view. Quoting the ¢ omatitution- ! inhibition— o tax or duty shiall be faid on act exportsd from Ay Mr. Campbell thus mterprets it “ gt will, 1 think, bo apparent, upon roflection of tha Conatit was that each State sbo of exporting its productions, m: the purposs of sals abroad witk any kind. laid at any ¢ 7, ol 0 exported ; and this istent was exprossed, and this right guarantaed o terms which ceunot be misundoretood or misconytrusd.” This is very sweeping—it pracludes all taxation whatever on any article that may be oxported, T soems to us alike suicidal and repugaant to common sense. What the Conatitutien evidently means to preciuda is suy tax applying solely to exportad acti- clos, while like products not exported ahould be ox- empt from such tax. In other words, the framers of '8 of the Constitution meant to preclude the fatt commerce by dutios discriminatimg against articl exported. Suppose Congress had imposed 4 tax of ons dollar per acre on all lands in cultivation, would that tax have been unconstitutional so far as it affected lands whereof the product was sold abroad, though consti- tational as to all others? Obviously not. And, if not, then we submit that the bottom is out of Mr. Campbell's argument. WAR BY RAILROAD. In no other country and during no other war did railroad management enter 5o largely into the prose- cution of campaigns as in the United States during the Rebellion. From the 21st of April, 1561, the day on which the military authorities took fpossession of the railroads leading directly into Washington, until August, 1865, when, by Executive order, all military roads were transferred to their original owners, the War Department held snd used for military purposes all the lines of roads in the comquered territory. In making preparations for the great cAmpaigns of the Spring of 1462, President Lincoln ordered that D. C. McCallum be appointed ** Military Director and Super- intendent of Railroads in the United States, with suthority to enter upon, take possession of, bold and use, all railroads, engines, cars, locomotives, equip- ments, appendages and appurtenances,’that may be required for the transport of troops, munitions of war and supplies of the United States.” Clothed with this extraordinary power, Mr. McCallum entered upon the duties indicated in the order. His first labors were in connection with Gen. McClellan's movements in front of Washington, in March, 1862, For & considerable time, they were confined to short lines leading iuto Virginia from Washington; engines and cars were sent to the peninsula with the Army of the Potomac, sud to North Carolina for Gen. Burn- side’s command, and were placed on roads repaired for the use of the armies in prosecuting contemplated cam- paigns, which were brought to grief by the failure of McClellan in front of Richmond. This was but learning tte alpbabet of the great lessons of railroad- ing yot to be mastered in the progress of the war. The builling and rebuilding of the lines on the great race-course of armies, between Washington and Richmond, has become part of the history of the semi- annual marches, battles, and counter-marches, so fruitfal to Loth parties only in failure and death. How large bodies of troops were transferred, secretly and with incredible speed, from the banks of the Rap- pabannock to the banks of the Tenncssee, and from Kuoxville to the battle-fields of the Wilderness, are feats in military trausportation before them nne- qualed; but the grest achievement of railroad en- gineering was the successful forwarding of supplies to Gen. Sherman's army, in ita march to Atlanta. In the beginning of the war, military railroads were an experiment; and, although Mr. MeCallum had been schooled in the offices of the great railroads in this country before and during the war, and had learned much by the experience of 1862 and 1863, yet so limited were all these operations in comparison with the stupendous work of supplying an army of 100,000 men and 60,000 animals with munitions of war, rations and forage, from a base 300 miles distant, accessible only over a line of single-track railroad, lying almost wholly within a hostile country, in- fosted by vigilant and powerful guerrilla bands, that they dwindied into insignificance, and inspired fow mon with coufidgnt boge that this eroat nadertakine . Gen. Grant ordered the paiga to bo made. Gon. Shoermau barely hoped that bis supplies could bo forwarded by railroad from Louisville to Chattanooga; and” onward to Atlanta— « distance of nearly 500 milse, An efficient corps was organized, and the work was undertaken. Time and space would fail us wore we (o attempt tho enumeration of tho labors and difficul- tio: attonding the reconstruction and maintenance of this line of road. By it, Johnson had retroated to Chattanoozs, thence to Buzzard Roost, and from Buz- sard Boost to Atlanta; and, in falling back from one, strong position to another, be spared no efforts to ko complete the destruotion of the road a3 to make the rapid pursuit, of Sherman’s army impoasible; but, thongh the damage was great, it did not’ prove & ge. rious barrier to the unchecked advance of the national troope. Full supplies of all manner of constraction’ materials, sach a8 iron, rails, chairs, spikes, cross- ties and. bridge-timber, had been stored under guard at convenient points along tho line; 0 that, whether talled upon to repair damages done in the reat by guerrillas, to rebuild bridges of formidablo dimensions, or to lay miles of track in front, in orderto keep pace with the great army that was ever marehing the Superintondent was amply prepared to Though at first doubtful, Gen, Sherman soon coased to foar avy delay from want of transportation aud supplies. In October, 1864, Gen. Hood, gaining Sherman's roar, throw his wholo army on its lins of communi- cation, and in & single effort destroyed 35 miles of railroad track and 435 feet of bridges. Befors the ene- my had comploted the work of destruction at one ond of tho lina of his raid, the Construction Corps had com- menced rebuilding at tho other end; and within seven- and-a-balt days the track was relaid, bridges rabuilt, and trains of troops and supplics wont thundering on their way. Gen, Bberman's army was succosaful in the groat campaign from the mountains to the sea, enabled to be so by the energy, vigilance, and akill tho railroad managersin its raar. When the great army had marched through Georgia and arrived at Savannah, it wasmet by vessols loaded with locomotives, cars, rail- road iron, and other materials, with men to repair and run railroads in whatever diraction the victorious commiand chose to march. From Savanuah, they wers transforred to Wilmington and Newbern, where they wore employed to supply ths army in North Caroling until the end of the war. In the four years of aotiva military operations, over 2,000 miles of railzoad were under the managament of the Military Superintendent; 412 engines, and 6,330 cars wore used; 157,413 feet of bridges were built; 641 miles of track were laid; 24,964 meu were employed, and $42,462,142 were expendod.

The taak of rendering it into English eeems to have been intrusted to some young person who has recently undertaken the study of Italian, and who, after one lesson, and that without & master, boldly attacked Signor Marengo's masterpiece, with whal result wo need hardly say.

M. Pray, the suthor of this translation, has, however, confarred one favor upon that portion of the sudience that finds the turning over the leaves of the book-of- the-piay an annoyance. His translation is so uttery unin Higiblo a3 Snglish, and 80 useless 8¢ A explan- ation of the play, that few persons have any pationce to atraggle with it after the first scene, and in_conse- nence the audience is content to waich the actors for the rest of the evening and the periodical rustle of leaves is wholly avoided. We wish Mr. Gran would always employ Mr. Pray to ** do” bis plays into En- glish'after this. : But, bad @s Marengo's play is, Ristori makes the best of her part in it; and, indeed, all the actors do rensonably well, considering that nothing is demanded of them but that they should as far away from nature s possible. It isnotin human nature when it has once risen above the traditions of the Bowe, to be interested in such a play, and we doubt if ware to come down and act in it, whether an but the mere curiosity of seeing how that class persons would bebave, could keep us wide awake o theead. In the first act, Ristori looks well and acts well, Of course, in reat life the course of events would have come to a sudden stand-still with the out- ragsous conduct of Hugo in this act. Pis being in her own house would bave ordered her men-at-arms +o shut that improper person up in & dark hole some- where, and_kept him there on bread and water till Lier hushand came home, when if Rinaldo bad had soy #onse of what was becoming, he would bave chopped off thie culprits bead in less than five minutes, kissed his wife, given hera giece of silk for a mew gown, erything would have been sereue and peaceful. This is what would have hlpgemd at the house of “Pia of the Ptolemies,” as the learned Dramatic eritid of an evening papor, perhaps M. Pray himself, obligingly translates the heroine’s name for us. But, as things don't go so, Madam Ristori is oblized to con- form herself to the demands of Signor Marengo's com- position, and there can be no question that sbe fills the part with graceful majesty and with feeling. To her acting in this play, THE TRIBUNE has already dons full justice, nor should we again allude to it, if it wors not for the purpose of expressing our dissatisfaotion with Madame Kistori for undestaking the part at all. Judging Ristori merely by her fame, it would have astonished us, after reading this worthless play, to be told that she bad condescended to go through the labor of learning the part of Pis. But, since we have studied her acting for minelvoo. and are no longer obliged to take ber upon trust, or to measure ow plause by the eloquence of enthusiastic crities on other side the water, there is much to lessen our surprise. She is not an artist of the highest character: on the contrary, her leanings are decidedly towant melo-dramatic effects and sensational sitnations. Surley, if it were not so, she would think more highly of her gifts than to waste them on such plays as » and would instinctively shrink from: the death scenes that on the contrary she scems to delight in. We trust it is not cant to express our conviction that gonius, or talent even, especially talent of such an order as Ristori's, is a gift of God that imposes serious obligations. A porson endowed with this gift can only retain his own self-respect, can only justly claim the respect of the world, when be uses it for high ends. He ought not to_ waste his time and energies npon anything that will not in some way tend to .mfifin high thoughts and noble purposes in his fellows.” The same laws that we have asserted for the artist with chisel and brush ought to be acknowladged by the actor, and one is as derelict as the other when these laws are disebeyed. Ristori seems to us to respect these laws but little. Her gifts are not to be ques- tioned. Her beauty, ber voice, her range of expres-+ sive power, her intelligence, her culture, are such as are seldom seen shut into one "being, and it irks us to see these powers squandered or put to vulgar uses. It is dificult to believe that the nobly besutifuf woman of the opening scenes of Pig, and she of the last act, are the same person. If the death scene in * Adrienne” be ghastly and painful beyond endur~ ance, it is not utterly ridiculous, but the death of Pis is made a piece of pure absurdity. That a noble lsdy should take it inte her head to walk out inte the middle of a gloomy marsh, where the only cheerful feature copsiets of an armay of ‘crosses stuck into the grates of those who have died of malaria, gnd shonld then and there re- main until death cemes to feteh her is absurd on the very face of it. But if she must die, and ipsists on otting intothe most uncomfortable place sbe can d to do it, we might at least be allowed s right te insist that she should die and e done with it.
