A cable dispatch informs us that there have been of Iate large arrivals weekly of Fenians in Ireland, sod that the British Government are on tie alert to moet tho apprehended outbreak in that country. ittt An unsuccessful attempt was made yestorday to oxpel from Tammany Hall two of its members who had supported Gen, Halpine for the offico of Register. 1ts fallure is not the least sign of the weakness of the organization that has boen noted lately. The Tennessee House of Representatives has tabled the bill providing for impartial suffrage and universal amuesty. The vote, 39 to 29, shows a strong minority in its fivor—strong not only in number but in intelli- gence snd influence. Wo believe tho bill will pass before the session ends. Those who opposed will be convinced of its expediency, as well as its justice, by events which are already foreshadowed. The liberation of the Fenian prisoners in Toronto may be accepted as an earnest of mercy from the Britisb Government to those condemned to death. It is not hy rigor that the Irish question can be settled. England bad better at once reform the policy which has made Ireland, which should be ber natural ally, almost an alien foe. While all Europe is strewn with the seids of war, it may not be many years before Great Britain will need Ireland's aid, and now is the time to secure it. John Bright bas shown the way. By latest advices from Vera Cruz, via New-Orleans, Maximilian was still at Orizaba, and in improved health, it is said. The improvement is attributed to his recant sea-vayage, which was undertaken, we now learn, for the sake of his health, and not with the view of abandoning the country. Verily, this Mexi- can business is s muddle. One day we hear of abdi- cation; the next day’s dispatches tell us of the very opposite; and thus it goes on—an endless round of counter-statements aud mutual contradictions. The public must be consoled with the hope that it will be all cleared up in time. The attack on Matamoros, of which we have advices, seem to bave left the situa- tion unchanged, except as the failure shows a want of copfidence in Cortinas. Gen. Tapia’s death loses Juarez a valuable leade: THE GRAVITY OF THE MEXICAN QUESTION. The present phase of the Mexican question is in- volved in new obscurity by conflicting reports touching the retirement of Maximilian, who is now said te have returned to Mexico; but the points in the matter of especial interest to the American people are sufficiently plain, and deserve their instant and serions congideration, as threatening at once the national honor and the national purse. The triple expedition to Mexico, undertaken by England, France and Spain, was in virtue of a joint treaty dated Oct. 31, 1861, 1t was terminated in February, 1862, after the reduction of Vera Cruz, by the Plenipotentiaries recoguizing the Republican Government of Juarez in the Cenvention of Soledsd providing for negotiations in settlement of their respective claims. That Con- vention was ratified by the Governments of England and of Spain, but was rejected by that of France, on the ground that her object in the expedition was *‘ to overthrow the phantom of a Government” which the Plenipotentiaries had recognized and treated with. England and Spain thereupon withdrew, and the Emperor of France continued alone the sssault upon the Mexican Republic, and on the 3d of July, 1862, explained in bis famous letter to Gen. Forey the mo- tives snd objeots of the invasion. He had already in March, 1862, expressed to Mr. Dagton his belief, which was also that of the promi- nent ntatesmen of Europe, that the North would not be successful in putting down the Rebellion, and he now frankly intimated that the object of the expedi- tion was to check the progress of the United States, to provent their commanding the Gulf and becoming the onlv dispenser of the products of the New World, and that with this view he proposed to restore to the Latin race its prestige by constituting a stable gov- ernment in Mexico, which should be supported by her fricndly relations with European Powers, snd that thus France would create immense markets for her commerce, and cstablist Freuch influence ‘““in the conter of America."” With the collapse of the Rebellion and the extine- tion of Slavery, the impossibility of the extemporized Empire became evident to the world, and the prompt withdrawal of their troops by the French Government, of their own motion, was confidently expected by the American people as the least atonement that could be made for a step which had been at once a crime and & blander. How far the hesitancy of the French Em- peror to recall his troops was induced or encour- aged by the feeble and dubious tone of our foreign diplomacy may be an interesting question in the fu- ture, but he seems, perhaps naturally enough, to have been unwilling to close his ill-fated expedition without securing, if possivle, the ultimate payment of its cost —by fixing the debt upon the Mexican people—or so- ouring it in some shape by Mesican torritory; and, in connection with his last effort to accomplish this ob- ject, the mission to Mexico of Minister Campbell and Gen. Sherman, in accordance, as is rumored, with a roguest from Napoleon, is not without significance, The first order given by that Emperor toward the return of the French troops was in a letter from M. Drouyn de Lbuys to Count Montholon, Oct. 18, 1865, And it is & curious fact, but little known, and still less understood, that that order was given in conse- quence of a suggestion volunteered by Mr. Bigelow, our Minister to France, that we would recognize ‘Maximilian, but that the recognition ghould be pre- codod by the evacuafion of Mexico by the Fronch troops. We aro unadvised of the grounds on which Mr. Bigelow, upon his own responsibility, thus pro- posed that the Government of the United States should undortake to assist the plot for fastening an empire upon the Mexican people by lending to Maximilian tha moral influence of their recognition. But it was an offer which promised to accomplish easily tho safety of the French debt, for it was clear that if we rocognized the Government of Maximilian, for however short a time, whatever Government should succeed his empire would be compelled to recognize its obligations. The ‘Washington Cabinet did not, it seems, adopt the sug- gestion of recognition made by Mr. Bigelow; and how the Emperor Napoleon shall obtain from the Mexioan peoplo the hundreds of millions of francs expended in overthrowing their Government and desolating their country is still an unsolved problem. It would seem, however, from recent paragraphs in the mewspapers, that the bope is mot abandoned that the American Government can yet be made an accomplice in somo scheme for the recognition of Maximilian, & schemo early broached by M. Drouyn de Lbuys to Mr. Dayton, sud promptly repelled both by Mr. Dayton and Mr. Seward. According to a series of articles in The Herald from the 3d to the 12th of November, the Em- poror recently invited to Biarritz Mr. Bigelow and the now French Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Marquis de Moustier, and arranged with them the terms of a treaty to be made botween the United States, France and Mexico, which The Herald pronounces to be “‘a fixed fact.” Wo are to receive, It is said, by this treaty negotiated in Franoe, Lower California, 750 miles long, and from 30 to 120 miles wide, with an area of nearly 200,000 square miles, aud a population of mixed breed—Indians, nogroes and whites—of prob ably 18,000. This grant will “‘be confirmed as ac- ceptable by Napoleon." The settlement is said to contomplate the payment of the indemoity claims, which were the cause of the original armed coalition of France, England and Spain. The United States will stand security for these indemnitios, and will furnish the Republic of Mexioo the funds to meet them. The first of these articles allude to the treaty as being madein France, and with the Empire of Mexico, the latter, written after the rumor of Maximilian's return to France, refors to the Republic of Mexico; but the part the United States is to play, the money France is to receive, the territory that Mexico is to lose, are the same in both cases, and out- side rumor adds another article to this treaty, provid- ing for the payment of Mexican bouds held by Ameri- can citizens, which may, perhaps, account for the fact that Mexican bouds are being cautiously offered in Wall-st. at @ low figure, with the quiet intima- tion that they are likely to prove ‘' a big thing." How far there ia truth in these rumors, or in that which declares that Mr. Campbell and Gen. Sherman are in Some sort to recognize the French authority in Mexico by accepting the country from the hands of Gen. Castelnean, the future will determine; but with the suggestion already made more than a year since by Mr. Bigelow, for the recoguition of Maximilian, from which we narrowly escaped, and with a sad rec- ollection of the Texan swindle, so successfully perpe- trated to the amount of 10,000,000, and of the Texan bonds that were then distributed in advance wherever it was supposed they could directly or indirectly influence a vote, it is well that the American people should be aware of the plot now on foot to make the United States an accomplice in s scheme more infa- mous than the partition of Poland. Webave already commented (in Tre TRIBUNE of the 15th instant) on the arrest by Gen. Sheridan of Sefior Ortega, who claims to have become the constitutional President of Mexico by the expiration of the term of Juarez. No explanation has yet been given of the grounds for that extraordinary interference on the part of our Government with the domestic disputes of the Mexican people; and the absence of all ex- planation has given riso to a suspicion that Juares may have consented to the partition of Mexico and the payment of the French claims on condition that the United States will sustain his pretensions against his rival for the Presidency. The Herald of Nov. 4, in one of the articles alluded to, expressed the hope that *‘some recent jobs will have & fair hearing and a fair trestment in the treaty,” and alluded, among others, to *Mr. Clar- ence Seward's express job." ‘The rightful claims of American citizens are enti- tled to, and will no doubt receive, the attention of the Government at proper times and in a proper manner. But neitber private claims nor private speculations, however large or magnificent, should be allowed to warp the Government from that strict line of inter- national non-interruption with the domestic concerns of Mexico which we so strenuously insisted should be observed toward ourselves. No severer blow could be struck at the honor and prestige and moral influ- ence of our Republic, a3 she rises in grandeur among the nations of the world, than by our joining in a plot to rob Mexico of her territory by a treaty arranged in Frauce, and intended to be executed by Maximilian or by Juares, and sharing the plunder with Louis Napo- leon, by paying him for the wrongs he has inflicted on our neighbors with the avowed intent of humbling the power of the American people. Amid all the national questiona that divide us upon this point, with the exception of the disreputable clique who are looking to accomplish a speculation, men of all parties are agreed. Democrats and Repub- licans will repudiate with equal indiguation and con- tempt the idea of our robbing [Mexico to pay Napo- leon. It was said that Mr. Lincoln expressed sur- prise and displeasure at the tone of some dispatches from the State Department of which he knew nothing until they were priuted, and it is not to be supposed that Mr. Johnson has been able to supervise in his turn all our foreign diplomacy. But we now call upon him, as the American Executive, to rescuo us from the dangers that threaten our honor, and to ad- vise the Emperor of the French, through Gen. Dix, who sails to-morrow, that the American people will uot consent to any act that directly or indirectlv mav assist to impose upon the people of Mexico tho sums he has expended for their subjugation. RESUMPTION—ALARM. To the Editor of The N. Y. Tribune. Sin: I give you undue credit for financ al acumen if you do not see that it is not so much owing toa redundant currency that the high prices of which wo complain prevail as it is to & habit which has bscome chronio of puttiug on large profits for labor and all the productions of industry. Tho cure for this—if it need one, which is questionablo, aa it favors the middling and lower classes—ia to atimulate the indnatries and prodacing powers of the country, by kooping up an even and easy money markot until the supply of commoditios is equal to the demand. Even the suggestion made by you, favoring tho idoa of an immediate return to Specle Payments, is paralyzing and oruel—und the more crnal, a3 it is a noedloss thrcateniag of what seems to judicious men o bo at this time impracticable. Yours truly, Sanes Porvu Remarks by the Tribune. 1. If our correspondent thinks he makes anything by asserting that the prosent nigh pricos arc owing to general grasping for large profits, and not toa redundant currency, so be it; but he soems to us only to afford a fresh exomplification of John Quincy Adams's oft-quoted lines— “ And if wo oannot altor things, % By Job ! we'll change their names, Sir ! The sourco of our businoss porturbations and infla- tions isthe fact that a dollar is no sum in partioular, but, after the similitade of Hamlet's cloud, is almost anything you please. Whenever a dollar shall come again to mean a dollar, that fact will be found a great oheck to those flights of imagination in the way of prices, wheroto milkmen and bootblacks are Jjust as pron as pork monopolists and grain speculators, 1L Our correspoudent thinks the real curo—if cure thero should be—for inflation, is to ‘stimulate the industries and producing powers of the coun- try.” Why, you innocent soul! we all know this! But you think industry may be stimulated by making what passes for money plentiful and cheap—and this is true to a limited extent—but you don’t got boys to hoe corn for even $2 per day when they think they can make 35,000 by flying their kites in Wall-street. Our cities are all bloated with people who ought to be growing corn and turnips, but who will not believe it, becauso they choose to hang on here and ** take the chances” of boring or worrying some one into giving them a place or a job whereby they can make money fastor or oasior than by farming. The health of the body politic absolutely requires that & few hun- dred thousand of these should be starved back into the oornfields they should never have deserted. I1L * Salus” thinks the bare *‘suggestion” of a roturn to Specie Payments * paralyzivg and oruel.” Well, what do you propose to do sbout it? We who differ from you believe our views as right and import- ant as you believe yours. We hold that our present inflated, irredeemable currency is demoralizing our poople, damaging industry, stimulating baleful spec- ulation, impeding the construotion of railroads and buildings, aud heaping up mountains of debt abroad through the exportation of our National obligations to pay for luxuries and fripperies that we might far bet- ter do without. Do you think wo ought to stifle our convictions because yours are different? 1f not, what aro you driving at? IV. We cannot find room o repeat arguments in favor of & currency equal in value to the silver dollars and dimes it purports to represent—equal to real dol- Iars, because readily exchangeable therefor at par—and it does not seem to us necessary. We offer the Multiplication Table, the Rule of Three, and the whole Science of Numbers, in support of our position. 1f these do not convince you, pray procure and read Mr. Webster's two speoches of 1815-16 in favor of col- locting the rovenue only in coin or its equivalent. Nobody attempted to answer him—in their simplicity, they did not suppose there was any answer to the proposition that twice two make four. If any one will try to answer those specches, and thinks he bas succedad, we mag look to see if there need not be something more said on our side of the question. Until then, we atand on Mr. Webster's logic as un- answerable. THE REAL ISSUE IN THE CASE OF GOV. EYRE. It is by no means surprising that Gov, Eyre should find sympathizers in this country. The spirit that upheld and justified Negro Slavery, as a Divine insti- tution yet lives among us in unimpaired vitality, and every conceivable atrocity of which the nogro happens to be the victina is regarded, in certain quarters, as s venial and pardonable offense. The World has viru- lently attacked the *‘Jamaica Committee” for pre- suming to adopt measures for baving the ex-Governor of Jamaica brought to trial, and attributes the action of the Commit'eo to mingled fanaticism and vindictiveness, It is easy to question mo- tives; it is easy to impute motives; it is easy to asperse and villify those who are doing battle for the right—as The World well knows. But it is not quite 50 easy to set aside indisputable facts, to debauch the moral sense of mankind, to persuade people that wanton cruelty is only another form of heaven-born mercy. The case against Gov. Eyre lies in a very narrow compass, aud no amount of sophistry can hide from intelligent minds, not under the influence of prejudice, the real issue involved. It is not for what Gov. Eyre did in **suppressing " the so-called insurrection of the blacks that he is to be brought to trial, but for what he did, or caused to be done after the disturbances had been, on his own showing, completely quelled. The disastrous riot at Morant Bay, in which about a dozen planters and their parti- zans were killed by the blacks, and the subsequent pillage and destruction of property by the mob, were embraced within a period of not more than thirty-six hours. By the time the wilitary had been moved to the district, all was over; the popular violence had spent itself; quiet had been, in a great measure, restored. In their operations sgainst the ‘*rebels,” the soldiers encountered no enemy whatever; and it is notorfous that not onme of them re- ceived 30 much as a seratch during the memorable campaign in which they covered themselves with glory! Yet, as if purely in retaliation for the life sacrificed at Morant Bay in an outbreak provoked by the wrong-headed obstinacy of the planters them- selves, hundreds of people, most of them innocent of any participation whatever in the riot or the subse- quent outrages, were shot and hung; scores of women were flogged on their bare persons with *‘cats” in which wire was twisted with the cords; fully one thou- sand of the cottages of the peasantry were wantonly burned by the soldiers, and several men, such as George William Gordon and others, who were resid- ing at & considerable distance from the scene of the outbreak, were seized, tried by court-martial for ex- pressions eaid tohave been used by them months before the riot, and forthwith put to death. Iu the case of Gordon, particularly, thers was & most flagrant violation of those safeguards which the law provides for life and liberty, inasmuch as he was not even re- siding in that part of the country over which martial law had been proclaimed. And to make the matter worse, he was, it is well known, personally obnoxions to both Gov. Eyre and the planter party on aceount of the prominent part he had taken in opposing the administration of the former, and in bringing to light the wrongs perpetrated by the latter on the blacks. Had he been taken in the act of rebellion, with arms in his arms, or had it been proved that he had insti- gated the blacks to rise and kill the planters, the case would have been very different. Bathe was tried and executed, not for any overt act, not for any ascer- tained connection whatever with the riot, but for al- leged treasonable language used at political meetings held in different parts of the island long prior to tho outbreak. It was, in fact, assumod that because he was what is called a political agitator he must of ne- cessity have been the instigator and planner of *‘the rebellion;" and 80 ho was sent to tho gallows.

Now, all that the Jamaica Committee seck to have sottled by their action is, whether a Colonial Gov- ernor is at liberty to sacrifice the lives of British sub- jeots, whatever their race or their color, in the way in which Eyre caused Gordon and othors to b disposed of ; whether he is to be allowed to set all law, all justice, at defiance in a caso like the ono we are cousidering, and to shod blood liko water not to save society, but to gratify either personal or party rovonge. Even The World will admit, we think, that this is & vitally important issue; and to all dispassionate minds it will appear that the Jamaica Committee have adopted the course dictated at onco by sound policy and true patriotism. The World professes to doubt whether the Committeo “ will bave the decency to leavo the question now to the calm judicial decision of the Courts.” Lot him be reassared. These *fa- natics” are not such arrant fools as to stultify Ym selves by preventing that whigh they have deliber- ately and persistently sought to obtain, It is just that oalm, judicial decision” they seek. They will pationtly await it, in the confidence that, whatever the issue of the appeal may be, the cause of truth and righteousness must ultimately triumph. When a new Administration, of a new pofitical #quint, comes in, the old Postmasters throughout the land expect to be executed, and, after four or eight yoars of place, can philosophically bare their vecks for the blow. The anguish of the stroke is mitigated by the fact that it comes from an avowed enemy’; and, if @ man is to be slaughtered, it is a consolation that he is not slaughtered in the house of his friends, by the hands of ancient associates. Of the' 2,200 Post- masters brought to block by the President since the 1st of July last, it is safo to say that a majority voted for Mr. Johnson—a mistake, wo submit, cerrying its own punishment aud entailing & remorse which should not be aggravated by pecuniary losses. But the Prasidential appetite for the blood of Postmasters is not yot satiated. It is announced in the newspapers that the President, chastened in his serene mind by the late elections, will *“make no more important remov- als.” There would seem to be in this statement an intimation that the unimportant removals are togo on; and at this moment handreds of little towns and vil- lages are full of intestine feuds; neighbors swear- ing against neighbors, and families waging ver- bal warfare sgainst families; whilo aspirants for tho post-office are bothering overybody with potitions for appointments; aud frightened incum- bents are making desperate efforts to seud on counter memorials. There is talk in the shops and in the stroets; there is a schism, entirely untheological, in the church; women join in the affray; and even children are shaken by tendor animosities; balf the community, perhaps, sympathizes with the quick and half with the defunct official; and the bad blood thus engendered may continue to boil in the veins of sev- eral genorations. In the City, we are acenstomed te these things, and, in the hubbub, they may soon be forgotten; but in the rural districts they are ranked among the leading events of the century, and color all the future traditions of the parish. We wish that the President, being a mighty hunter, could have been persuaded to spare this small game, partly for his own sake, partly for the sake of worthy office-holders, and partly for the sake of the mail service itself. In political strongth and party resour- s, His Excellency will gain nothing by these forcibly foeble demonstrations, and for every friend he makes by a decollation, will insure from two to twenty enomies. The men who,lunder the present most pe- ouliar circumstances, can so lower themselves as to seck his patronage st their neighbor's expense, cannot, in & political way, be of the least possible service to him or to his faction. The gentleman who is removed will have the public sympathy—the gentleman who is put in must be tolerated, but be will not be beloved. The suflerer will be regarded in the light of an injured individual, and, to a certain extent, justly. Expect- ing to keep his place for & certain number of years at least, ho has made his arrangements accordingly; has fitted up an office; has acquired skill in the routine of the busivess; and, having comfortabiy settled himself to his own satisfaction and that of his townsmen, his pipe is suddenly put out by some new convert to Johnsonism who has been watching his oppor- tunity, and who has long determined to have the office or die in the attempt to secure it. He succeeds: e walks in over the prostrate form of his predecessor; and, unless he can hire an instructor in the business, he deranges the correspondence of the neighborhood by a hundred mistakes, and exposes the most tender secrets by the eccentricities of his delivery. Unless the President really wishes to punish the people for their blindness to the splendor, originality aud pru- dence of his policy, he will let the Postmasters alone. He will not, at least, allow him- sell to be made the tool of suburban speculators and the arbitrator of village squabbles, When he brings the nose of some behemoth of office to the sacrificial ring, we have not a word to say, at least to him; but such pitiless evergy against the minor objects of his wrath is, to say the least of it, undignified and a little laughable. WASHINGTON. et THE FUTURE COURSE OF THE PRESIDENT—THE CASE OF COMMISSIONER ROLLINS—GEN. ORTEGA'S AR- REST—ACTION OF THE RETRENCHMENT COM- MITTRE—NEGRO SUFFRAGE MEETING—A MASS WELCOME TO CONGRESS—PERSONAL. Wasnixe1oy, Monday, Nov. 19, 1866, ‘The Democrats who come here now to tender ad- vice to, or ask favors of the Administration, are not re- ceived with that cordiality formerly experienced. ‘Their weakness in their own States, developed in the recent elections, has materially diminished the esti- mation in which they bave been held, and the cool- ness with which they are received at the White House and in the Departments, and their maledic- tions upon the Adminstration, favor the idea that the Prosident is not adverse to some understanding with the majority of Congress which shall relieve his Administration from its gre-en! position of open au- tagonism. On the other hand, some of those who call themselves especial friends of Mr. Johuson say that he is determined to maintain bis position, and while he does not propose to keep up active opposition to Congress, he will quietly but firmly ldgnro to the ;ohc_y already developed. The real friends of the resident and’ his Administration, however, are not without hopes that he may be influenced by the efforts and arguments which are brought to bear upon him to pursue & conciliatory coursé, and endeavor to bring his Administration into more amicable relations with Congress and the loyal people. It is understood that Gen. Sickles, in his interviews with the President, strongly expressed his dissont from his policy, his observation aud experience in the South having satistied him that it is not for the inter- ests of the country that the Southern States should be restored in that manner, and urged upon the Presi- dent that he should use his influence either to secure the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment, or, if g:lu were impracticable, the granting of Iwpartial There is still & heavy pressure being brought to bear upon the President )ur the remova of Mr. Rol- lins, the present Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Gen. Steadmen of Ohio is the chief fugleman in the business, and Mr. Spomer of Cineinnati is said to bave the inside track for the succession, avowing that the President has promised to make a change be- fore long. Mr. Rollins, it seems, bas made some de- cisions recently, in which & few of Steadman’s friends were d«tl interested, and which they did not like, and for which they are determined he shall be re. moved. This, and the crime of failing, or refus- ing to indorse the policy of the President are the grounds upon which he is to be ousted. Mr. Rolling entered the Revenue Burenn when it was first orgau- ized, w6 a subordinate clerk. o was promoted from that gentloman's resignation he was second in com, mand, and when Mr. Boutwell finally left elhn..' to take his seat in Cougress, Mr. Rolling was chogey by a sort of common consent to fill the oflice Lenow holds. Thus he has grown up with the department is familiar with its complex machinery, and it seams to me there ought to be a littlo hesitation before rp. moving such an officer even for the unpardonable sy of Radicalism, which in him is but a quict devotion to principle, and has never assumed the aggressive form of stump-speaking,or even Murwmmg,{:r. Spomer, whom we are informed is to be his successor, is g 8'“: tleman whoso course in the past yearor two bag stamped him as a political chamelion.

Ho was removed from Collectorship of the “first (Ohio) distriet last because he was known by the Johnson Club to be s Radical. If they bad Ffiren him a fow da warning, he could probably have chaoged his prn. ciples to suit them; but somebody else wanted hig place, and ho bad no time to repent. He then came to Washington to prevent the confirmation of hig successor. Kailing in this, he thought the nm* thing was to be & Jobnson man himself, and ho hay been one since. The office he now seeks is one which of all others ought not to be given to this or that for political reasons. It is ong which the people of country everywhere, and of all political parties, are interested in soeing held b{"l competent man of integrity. familiar with duties and bent on aq honest discharge of them. Suppose Mr. Spomer ghould be appointed next week. The week after Congress meets, The Committee of Ways and Moans wants information in this or that subject in conneetion with the Revenue Department. They send for Mr, Spomer—he is a very clever gentleman, a good John- son man and all that, but that won't satisfy a Com- mittee in pursuit of information which notbing but experience can place at their disposal. A E N. g::uch. Collecw‘; of Cu;'::u at Boston, arrived here this morning, and is at t etropolitan. Much dissatisfaction h:e been caused in Massachu. #otts by appointments made on the recommendation of Gen. Couch and his faction, and it is understood that Gen. Couch has come here to straighten up mat. tors. A number of removals of clerks in the Interior De. partment have been made te-day, most of them, itia understood, on the ground of incompetency, and one or two for political reasons. ~Attempts are being made to obtain the removal of Mr. French from the tion of Second Auditor, and the appointment of Col. Jeffrios, who stumped Maryland in the recent elec. tions, in’his place. Attorney-General Stansberry has recommended Sherlock J. Andrews of Clevelaad as United States District Judge for the Northern Dis. tri::e:r Ohio, in place of Judge Wilson, lately de- ceased. T have good authority for the statement that when the Secretary of War discharged Gen. Ortega from arreat, he did so by order of the President. My in formant bad this l{vln Mr. Stanton, and afterward saw the President, who said that the Secretary suggested, and he approved the action. The Retrenchment Committee appointed st the last session of Co is now in session in_this city, It is the intention of its members to make a thorough examination into the business of the Government and retronch the expenses in all possible cases. The first result of the Committee's doings was the discharge of seventeen Clerks from the Pension Bureau of the In- terior rtment. George A. Halsey, Momber of Congress elect from the Nowark District, N. J., is in town, So also i Zulick, the man who succeeded Halsey in the office of Assessor of Internal Revenue at Newark. Zuliok promised great things when he was appointed; among others, the defeat of Halsey for Congress. Conse- quently Halsey fecls jubilaut, while Zplick looks blne. The city is becoming quite lively by the arrival of Members of Congress, lobbyists, office hunters and others whofrequenthere during the session of Congress. The lobbies of most of the principal hotels were crowded this evening, the first time for many weeks. The White House to-day was visited by an unusual number of persons. Among the distinguished persons who called on the President to-day were the Hon. John Morrissey and Minister Dix of New-York, Gons, Frank P, Blair and Fenian Sweeney. Edward 8. Dana of Vermont has been appointed Assistant Clerk of tbe United States House of Repre- sentatives. The detectives of the Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department a few days ago captured in New-York a lot of counterfeiters, together with a ress, Aies, ink, &c., and a large amount in counter- jeit fractional currency of the denomination of 5 cents, which was about to be put upon the market. The notes are exceedingly well executed, and calew lated to deceive any but the most expert, and are nounced by experienced men of the Department te be the best counterfeits of the fractional currency they have ever seen. The lathe-work on the back of the noto—which it was supposed could not be imitated— is a3 good as any on the genuine, and the vignette of Treasurer Spinner is acknowledged by the original to be most excellent. A large meeting of colored people was held in the fair building corner of seventh-st, and Pennsylvanis: ave, lo‘niiht, in favor of negro suffrage and of bring: ing the subject properly before Congress at its coua session. There were probably not Jess than 2, pe:gle present, ‘{ colored. Addresses were made by Judge Edmonds, Senator Harlan, Col. Hintop and the Rev. Wm. H. Hunter, colored, late Chaplain of the 4th United States colored troops. It is the io- tenotin of the colored people of the District to keep the matter intelligently before Congress, and if they have the assistance of their friends throughout the country, they hope, with concentrated action, to st tain their desires during the eoming session. proj Convention at Philadelphia, on the 8th ol January Dext, is being seconded from all parts of the country, and & large number of delegates alroady chosen. It promises to be the largest mambmd colored people ever beld in this country.
