Tun We L@ The second page this morning 1s filled with read- ing matter, comprising Correspondence from Cuba, and from Alabama and Georgia, beside the” Court reports. On the third page, also, are various items of news and the Markets. The Georgia Legislature have passed the Stay Law over the Governor's veto. ‘Tho Lower Houge of the North Carolina Logisla. ture have rejected the Constitutional Amendment by a vote of 93 0 10; and the Senate by 44 yeas to 1 nay. By a similar overwhelming vote, Alabama bas dismissed the Amendment. ‘The Mayor has made still another nomination for the office of Street Commissioner, and the Board of Aldermen will, as usual, consider whetber the nomi- nee meets the financial requirement of the Aldermen’s “standard.” Mr. Wm. McMurray is the name of the unfortunate gentleman. Mr. Roberts, the Fenian President, has written to Col. Lynch: *1 regret to tell you that I do not be- lieve you are to be hanged.” He believes that Col. Lynch’s execution would result in the conquest of Canada by the Irish. This is carrying patriotism to | an excess which-Col. Lynch will scarcely appreciate. | The Board of Aldermen yesterday adopted a motion | fixing the price of the Park site for a Post-Office at £500,000, instead of $1,000,000. This indicates a change in the sentiments of our Aldermen to the ex- tent of half a million dollars; and as they have not gained that amount, we presume that the city will | have saved it. ‘We give Mr. Ashley credit for opposing the resolu- tion offered by Mr. Wasiburne that the House, with the Senate’s concurrence, should adjourn till the 3d of January. The importance of the session is tuo great, and its limit at the furthest is too brief to ad- mit of an earlier adjournment than the country ex. pected. By a vote of 103 Nays to 54 Yeas, the House | unwisely agreed to neglect its business, and deprive the conntry of 13 days of needed service. It proposes to adjourn on the 20th. Judge Lott lately charged the Grand Jury of Kings County to inquire into the bribery and corruption re- rted of the Couvention which nominated Demas g:mu, Co:gnnf an elect. The Crand Jury have, in accordance therewith, found a bill of indictment against Mr. Barnes. So much was vot expected when the jury et to work; but the public are to be cou- gratulated. There is a way, after all, by which ras- cality in politics can be brought to grief: and we <hall thank the Judges for more such charges ag that of Judge Lott. Frederick Douglass will deliver the next lecture in the Brooklyn Fraternity course, next Monday, in Plymouth Church, upon “The Sources of Danger to the Republic.” Mr. Douglass, who, at one time during the war, appeared to have lost a subject in losing something of the reason for denouncing the wrongs of his race, has now, unfortunately, regained it. We aro sorry to admit that his earnest appeals to the justice of the American people are scarcely less needed than in the days of Blavery. The sources of danger are now what they were then: it is only the resuits that are different. A dispath from New-Orleaus states that Gen. Sher- man sud Minister Campbell, instead of proceeding from Brazos overland to the seat of the Juarez Gov- ernment, bave srrived st New-Orleans in the Sus- quelsonab, At the same time there comes & report from Washington that our Government has recently cooled down in its demonstrative sympathy for Juarcz, and shows an inteution te favor the claims of Ortega. If there were any truth in'this Washington rumor, it might faruish a clue to the return of Gen. 8herman to Now-Orleans; but Mexican affairs are complicated ju Washington no lasy thap on the Rie NEW-YORKR DAILY TR!

It provides priveipally for the assembling of & Conven- tion ehosen by all male citizena of age who can read and write. andin this and other details presents & radical plan for tho genoral veconstinction of the South of the busis of impartial suffrage. We commond o thoso intefested in the Irish quastion tho brief detter of Mr Bright, publisted to- day in our foreign news, Ho says that if Iroland wore §,000 wiles away from us, all would ba changed, or the laudlord exterminated by the vengeance of the people.” W place this fronk aud bold expreasion against any plen that ITreland is as well treated a8 England, The clandestine settlement mado by Consul Morse of London with the firm of Frazior, Trenbolm & Co., including the ex-Rebel Secrotary of the Treasury,-bas boen rejocted by oor Government. lostead of com- promising with these agents of the Rebollion, the Government will press its legal proceedings in En- gland till the whole mmount of Confederate propersy in thoir hands is surrendored to the United States. The exclusive imformation which we publislel the other day is thus confirmed by the State Department. ‘The letter of onr Dablin cortespondent, which ap- pears elsewhere, furnishas striking evidonce of the dis- turbed condition of Treland at present, in conssouence of the apprebended Fenian ontbreak. The alarm must bo groat indeed when landlords are converting their mausions into so many little fortresses. The Fenian excitemont is evidently at fever heat in Ireland. Meanwhile, James Stepaens is belioved to have landed somowhere ou British or Irish soil, and a largs reward has bedh offered by the Governwent for his arest. — It was explained in the House yesterday by Mr. Stevens that §250,000 provided in the Deficiency bill for the State Department is inteuded principally to cover the expense of suits for ex-Confederate proporty in Europe, involving $20,000,000, a large part of which thero is chance of regaining. The costs of tracking Surratt and of entartaining Queen Emma of the Sandwich lslands have also been added to the bill. ‘Tho appropriation of $170,000 for public improve- monts iu Washington was stricken out, and s much thereby saved. The bill which provides also for pub- lic printing and some diplomatic costs passed fivally. -y & The ovidencd 4=¥an before the Committce on Pro- tests yestorday leaves fittle iu‘.lnmxloum that the returns upon which Theodore Allen claims election as Alderman in the VIIth Distriet of the Eighth Ward bave been grosaly tampered with, Unwilling witnesses admitted enongh to wake forgery more than a suspicion. The tallies kept by the poll-clerks differ decidedly frofu the returns sent to Police Head- quarters, aud oue of the cauvasscers testified that s page had been substituted for one he had signed on tho night of election. Mr. Eugene Ward, who con- tests the eleciion on the ground of these frauds, has thus far s clear case, ond the ex- amination bLas not added to Mr. Allen’s repu- tation that veneering it so much noeds. This wholesale piece of knavery appears to have taken 36 votes from the vote for Mr. Ward and to have added 100 to that for Mr. Allen. It is but one of the many shameful frauds which disgraced the late Charter Election, aud added to the notoriety the metropolis bas gained as the center of political cor- ruption. If it is punishod, it will be the first time in our recollection that the proof of forgery has been held sufficient reason for the ejection of the person who profited by forgery. The testimony is ow be- fore the Board of Canvassers, and if Mr. Allen can couvinee them that his election was not aided by the grossest fraud, his success will not be the least of his remarkable escapes. CONGRESS. We Lail the passage of the District of Columbia Suffrage bill as one evidence that the Senate has hearkened to the voiee of the people. Long debate there has been, and mach needless delay by a rigorous construction of a technical rale. Tt seerus difficalt for the presiding officer of this decorons body to under- | rules are intended to facilitate, not | stand that to obstruet, its business. Mr. Foster, (ollowing the lead of Mr. Reverdy Johnson, last week laid over the Suffrage bill for six days, and four other days bave been consumed in digeussing a measure conesrning which no new thing remained to be said, At Iast, even Mr. Cowan got tired of dilatory tectics, and Mr. Garret Davis tired himsell speechos which long since Aired - everybody else, Mr. Saulsbury had paraded to his own satisfac- tion his we hope Platonic love for the negro race, Mr. Foster concluded his dissertation on Conuecticut school-houses, and the Senate, by a vote of 32to 13, passed a Suffrage bill, based, as our correspondent well says, on no other qualification than loyal man- hood. Asthe House last session passed a bill identi- cal in principle with this, we trust there may be no dissension about details, nor any farther hesitation in the enactment of 4 measure that long since ought to Lave been sent to the President, and then speadily passed over his inevitable veto, For so much evidence of what may bereafier be hoped from the Eenate we are grateful, It gires us sincere pleasure to find among the thirteen negative votes but one that requires to be reckoned as a Repub- lican. Messrs, Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle, and Norton many months ago ceased to have any right te that honorable name. Mr. Foster has not, as they bave, betrayed his party: his present divorce from them is therefore a matter of fresh regret, and but jor the mear close of his term might demand from us & more pointed yepuke than we bave leisure to give at this moment. Omitting his pame, the majority is compact, and the unanimity of tbe party compels us to usk what Las become of Mr. Wil- son's excuse for the delay of last seseion? Mr. Wilson affirmed on Wednesday that enough men conld not then e relied upon to override the Executive veto. It is & lame excuse at best, but in view of the vote to-day, which, with absentees who may be counted upon, is abundantly strong to dispose of Mr. Johnson's nega- tive, what explanation has Mr. Wilson to offer? Will he oblige us with the names of Senators who last ses- sion were known to be weak on this suffrage question, and who this seesion are reckoned both sound iu doc- trine and proof against Executive blaudishments® ‘We make the inquiry most seriously. The Senate stands ina yul(inn' which the country does not very clearly apprehend, but which it is much indined to criticise, swd, A5 it appears to us, justly to criticise, There never was 4 Congress vhich the people were entitled to bold to an account more strict than must be rendered by the pres- ent. This Cogress resumes its duties under what | may be ealled special instructions. 'Withmpuch filters ing, with many impetfections, often with lack of wis- dom and more often with pitisble delsdt of courage, o ZEXISEh Copgross Gig yot in itg frasgwion by | was A general rocognition of the moaning of the popular voice. We romember no session of the House which opeved better. It was hoped the Senate would be cqually loyal in ita tone, but the first day saw the District bill throttled, and the second was & witness to the ceremonions post- ponement of the first mdical measure whioh bad been passod in the House by a vote of five to one— the bill to repeal the pardouing power conferred on tbe President by the act of 1332, Then came four days of routiue work in which no monsure of siguificance was oven debated, and while the House was daily passing or considering some bill that concerned the publio woliare, the Senato dawdled away its tim? and took no step. The differonco be- waa 60 marked thit tween the two Houses the country took the alarm. By the time Mr. Morrill brought frward his District bill, the ears of tho Bouate bad been roached by the indignant remonstrances of the Republican press, and by many & loud complaint which the maii bore to Washington in private letters. Private protests went up to the Senate from the House, and there came such a feeling of despondency into the minds of not a few of the Radical leaders that they de- clared publicly their approhension lest the courageous purposs of one brauch of Congress might be nulli- fied by the timid counsels of the other. It would be unjust to the Radical majority of the Senate not to add that most of them fully shared this apprehon- sion. Nobody questioned the fidelity or the resolu- tion of such men a: Sumuer, and Wade, and Chandler: nobody supposed that they or that many others of the Republican Scnators needed ad- mouition or were in peril of committing political sui- cide. The names of thoso whose uncertaiuty of pur- pose invited suspicion and brought odium on the body of which they composed a miuority inconsider- able in numbers, were perfectly well known. We presume those Senators are not unwilling to acoapt the responsibility which falls upon them by reason of their opinions; still, we omit for the presont to award to thom the full distinetion to which they are entitled. We prefer to bope that they intend to act for the future, as with a single exception they have aoted upon this Suffrage bill, with the majori'y of the party to which they stand pledg 1. Thore will be an easy test of tho sincority which yesterday's vote permits us to impute, for the presont, to the wavering Republicans of the Senate. Last week o joint cancusof the party was held, wherein both Seuate and House were fully represented—or if any- body stayed away, he tacitly pledged Limself to abide by the vote whick was understood beforehaud to be binding gn all who claimed associ ion with true Ro- publica The policy of the session was cloarly enongh marked out. Some specific measures were agreed upon, of which the following are among the most important: First: A bill providing that no name be placed on the roll of the next Congress except from States en- titlod to representation by law. : A bill providing that no electoral yotes for Prosident be counted except from States represented in Congress at the time of the election. Third: To provide for three sessions of each Con- gress instend of two, the first to meet on the 4th of Murch, the sccond on the Ist of January next, and the third on the Ist of October following. Fourth: The appointment of a Comuyttee of three to investigate the New-Orleans massacre. Sizth: To investigate the release of three South Carolina murderers of Union soldiers from Maine, con- victed and sentenced, first, to death, and afterward to imprisonmeut. These measures, it is affirmed, passed unanimously and without debate, and their scope is even more ex- tensive than is iudicated by the brief description above given. Most of them are already through the House, and the fate of no one of them is doubtful in that hody. We wait to see what befalls them in the Sen- ate. We wait, also, to see whether in respect to | other measures of defense against Executive warfare upon the prerogatives of the Legislature and upon the ! liberties of the country, certain Sendtors shall vindi- cate their fidelity to party and to country, and shall re- | lieve themselves from the suspicion which their col- leagrues and their constituents alike entertain. 1f they | abide the test, we shall rejoice. I they are found wanting, we think it probable they will be called upon to bear an individual responsibility, and that the line will be drawn broadly between the Radical yrity on the one side and those who on the other shall prefer to sustain the President. — WHISKY AND REVENUE. Mr. Devlin with his finger to bis nese, in scornful contempt of & whisky distiller who would not **put up the job fine enough,” is in & dramatic attitude ex- prossive of much sharp practice from whicli tax-payers have suffered. The reports which we print of the in- | vestigation of the whisky frauds, have also the effeet of making the reader place his fingers to his nose, for a very different reason. The offense is raok; an odor of official corruption pervades the court roowm; it is nanseating and fishy. Nor ean the public fail to infer that whisky which is made of spirits of turpen- | tine, stamped withont inspection, and sold without | the payment of the United States tax, must be rather ’ bad to drink. Considering' the enormous quantity of | whisky sold and consumed, even the temperance re- former will be anxious that his neighbors should at | least got drunk on the best extract of rye, and not add unknown poison to the evils of intoxication. The method of the whisky frauds is by this time well known to the public; but we dornot believe that any one knows its extent. Itisnottobe measored by gallons or barrels, but rather by lakes and rivers of turpentine and bribery, A vast ocean of untaxed and uninspected whisky deluges the land; it is mot strange that the distillers grow rich and drink Carte Q'0r, and Veuve Clicquot; that inspectors and asses- sors can afford French brandy; that the Government does not pay off the blessing of the Natiorial debt. Had the tases on all the wbisky made this year been honestly paid, there would have been & very perceptible difference in Mr. McCulloch’s statement of the condition of the United States Treasury. The further the subject is searched, the more colossal the frauds appesr. We find Mr. Devlin paying $30,000 to 50,000 every month for ** protection,” and yet finding it cheaper to pay this enormons bribe than the United States tax of two dollars & gallon, An astonishing example of in- tegrity is shown by Mr. McArdle, who, making ten barrels of whisky daily, paid the tax on five, We wish all the others had treated the Gov. ernmont as liberally, Mr. Devlin seems to bave made his profit out of both inspectors and distillers, introducing the whisky maker who did not want his whisky inspected, to the inspector whe did not want to inspect it. Revenue officers go to distilleries as sharp as detectives; but it is only to have their eyes bandaged with greenbacks, their lips sealed, and their ears stopped. If it costs alarge distiller $2,000 to | pay.zhe tax on 1,000 gallons, he is very ready to pay & United States officer & splendid income to megleot . his duty, The profit is enormous for these gontle- | men, but great the loes to the Pnoplc and the lflovommm.

A letter dated Dec. 7, from the owner of one of the laigest woolen mills at Cohoes, in Albany County, bas been uho\\'l‘ to us, in which the writer says: e knifting mills here are all practically stopped; that is, are entirely stopped, and the others are what we term out."

In othor localities in this State besido Cohoos the woolcn mills arv stopping, and the general foeling is that with our presont taxcs nid insuflicient tariff, it is wse- liss for us to attempt to compete with foreign manufacturers.” Begging Cougress to allow our mannfactures to live! Think of it. What an inversion of relations’ c;m- groas was created to provide for the genoral welfare, aud yet the roprosentativesof from2,000t02,500 work- ing-people in a single village in Now-York fall on their knees to Congress aud pray for legislation to enable thom to keep at work and to live! There is not o civilived government in Earope in which the interests of Industry are uot intel- ligontly cared for and jealously watched. Our Gov- ernment, peorless in negloct of Labor, sits inactive, with one ear attentive to the sophistries and persua- sions of foreign importers, while the other gives dull and reluctant boaring to the eries of workingmen and women that thoy will soon want bread if the market for their labor is not saved to them—sits inactive, and lets the flood of imported goods silence the looms of our country and drive our carders, spinners and woavors by brigades info idleness and proapective beg- gary. The American knil-goods interest has been broken down by the Senate's defoat of the House Tariff bilk last July. The worsted-goods interct has been brokon down. Woolen mills aro failing almost daily all over the country. It is admitted by those con- nectod with the trade that there has not been such a prostration of husiness since the terrible year, 1657, And the reason is manifest, and was made manifest by predictions at Washington last July, over, and over, aud over. The importations of wool and wool- ons for 1866 have amounted to $67,087,957. To furnish & measure for the volume of this foreign flood poured into our markets, we will state that for 20 yoars preceding the year 1662 the importations of wooleus averaged only §19,000,000 & year. The people in the different States who are threatoned with loss of work this Winter, by the closing of the woolen mills, may have a desire to represent their sufferings and their rights to the Senators who de- fontod the Tarifl last July. We append a list of the Yeas and Nays on the vote to postpone the bill: Mass—2i Navs—. athony, B. §; Chandler, Mich; Clark. N.

Of the nineteen Diets whieh are at present in session in Austria, only that of Hungary commands general attention. Iheir gallant fight for independence in 1545, and their equally gallant struggle for the main- tenauce of their constitutional rights ever since, have endeared the Magyars to the friends of liberal institu- tious all over the world. It is, moreover, generally understood that the attitude of Hungary with regard to the Austrian Empire must have a very great, and may have a decisive, influence npon the fate of the lattor. There are in the Diet three distinet political par- ties. The Conservatives, who have adherents only among the high aristoeracy, the Clergy, and those who are entirely dependent upon either, are scarcely represented in the Lower Hounse. The immense ma- jority of this House are either moderate Liberals or Radicals. The former, about 100, follow the leader- ship of Mr. Deak; the latter, who count #5 votes, that of Mr. Jhiczs. Last year these two parties had agreed upon a joint opposition to the Government. This year there is a schism between them, as regards the rescript of the Austrian Emperor. Deakand his party look upon the rescript, which promises the ap- pointment of a Hungarian ministry as soon as the basis of the common affairs of the Ewpire shall have been settled by the Diet, as presenting important elements for negotiation. The Radicals, ou the other hund, persist in demanding, before any pledge is given, that the old Hungarian Constitution be fully restored. The Atlantic telegraph Las already informed us that the proposition of Mr. Deak bas been accepted: but the agitation in the country not only continued but inereased, and the prospects of a sincere reconciliation Letwoen the Austrian Government and the Magyer nation are auything but bright. The session of the Diet is likely to be again very turbulent, and to wdd fuel o the vast amount of combustible material which is rapidly accumulating in Eastern Europe. Senator Morgan has anticipated the wish of the whole country in offering s resolution of thanks te Mr. Cyrus W. Field for his services in laying the Atlantie Telograph. While the English are trying to assumie evervthing for themselves, it is but just that Americans vindicate the title of their own country- man to the honor of this great achievement, As Jobn Bright says of Mr. Field, "It is right to honor the man to whem she whole world isdebtor.” Lord Derby, in Lis lettes angouncing the knighthood and barone (ies conferred by the Queen, expressly says that Mr. Field’s nsme is not iucluded, simply because he is an’ Ameriean citizen, and it would Le interfering with tbe proviace of the American Government. We hope the resoltion will pass unanimously, and that the thanks will bo presanted by Congross, in the words of Senstor Morgan, **ip the name of the people of the Unhted States.

The bill is offered by Mr. Yates as the initial step in declaring that mt‘mm of the loyal States are sufficient for the ratification of an amendment. The debate en it, when reported from the Reconstruction Committee, will be partici- pated in by the most prominent Senators on both sides of the Chamber.

The resent pretended government is in the hands of bels and Rebel sympathizers. All of the Federal office-holders ~ are of the same class. It seems each of the Southern States has its icular plan of restoration. Pool and olden have the North Carolina plan, Durant and Hahn of Louisiana bave their , Sherwood and Hamilton bave still a different plan from Texas, and 80 on with the other States. All to this subject will be referred to the Committee on Reconstruction, and one general bill for all the States concerned will be pre| .

It will be modified to the times, and will undoubtedly be adopted as the base upon whieh the Southern States will be required to resume their relations with the Govern- ment.

Mr. Stevens replied that he was very particular to have Seward assure him that mnot one cent of the sum would be used to pay the expenses of the *‘circle™ trip, so, with this understanding, the appropria- tion was given.
