B — % The Notices of New Publications, containing this morning an erticle upon Christmas Books, appear on the sizth page. e The House yesterday somewhat heedlossly adopted & resolution commending ** the tone of the nationsl voice in roference to the Republic of Mexico.” Which voios is meant, and, if it be Mr. Seward's, which tone of the voice, the House omitted to specify. A persistent effort is making to commit the House against the policy of contraction; thus far without success. Yesterday a resolution for a bill to prevent the farther withdrawal of legal-tender currency was Iaid on the table—that is, killed—by 85 to 55, Will the pork-specuiators and gold-gamblers take notice ! — The emigration of colored people has been encour- aged by various persons desirous of making money by a system of exportation as bad, perhaps, as the Coolie traffie. Mr. Sumner yesterday introdnced a bill in the Senate to prevent this mischief, and providing a penalty for frands on emigrants. B ] If the intelligence from Mexico, received by way of Cineiunati, is to be ecredited, the mission of Mr. Campbell and Gen. Sherman is likely to be attended with no small dificulty and much unpleasantness. Maximilian's detenmination to remain in Mexico seems to hiavo inspired the Imperialists with fresh hopes. The Secretary of the Treasury, in reply to a diree- tion of the Senate, has furnished a letter from the Controller of the Currency, to the effect that the National Banks comply strictly with the law requiring them to make quarterly exhibits of their condition. The Controller suggests that the mauagers of the Clearing-Houses should be required to report weekly all banks that are deficient in their reserve of lawful money, aud that the retarns shonld be made monthly instond of quarterly, We believe that tbe change would be & benefit. The Exeentive Committee of the Colored Soldiers and Sailors’ National League aunounce, that there will be & Conveation of Colored Veterans at Philadel- phin, on the 8th of January, the object of which is to secure equality before the law, All colored soldiers and sailors are invited to attend, and we shall expect an intelligent and influential assembly. The move- ment is highly opportune and welcome, and deserves the encouragement of every friend of impartial liberty. —_——— We rejoiced over the passage of the Amendment to the Constitution abolishing Slavery, but the prohibi- tion is one that has not escaped ovasion. Mr. Schenck offored & resolution in the House, yesterday, to inquire into the reported sale of a colored man at Anpapolis, Md.,, of which we pub- lished the particulars recently. Mr. Stevens also declared that negroes were sold in Florida. The resolution was amended to direct the Judiciary Committee to report what legislation is necessary to protect logal citizens in the South, and adopted. The validity of military trials in loyal States, argued Dbefore the Supreme Court in the case of L. P. Milli- gan, who was condéuned to death by a Military Com- mission in Indiana, has been judicially denied. The mombers of the Court agreed that Milligan should be /| discharged from military oustody, and remanded to the Civil Court, and that Commissions in such cases have no right to try. From this last point Chief-Jus- tice Chase and Associate-Judges V§ayne, Miller and Swayne dissented, holding that Congress had the au- thority to legalize military trials when the Civil Courts are obstructed. 1 The rejection by inspectors of election of large numbers of votes for Judge Michael Connolly will be made the basis of & new contestfor the rollership. In making this announcement, the CI an of the Demoeratic Union Executive Committee presents a groat number of facts bearing on the legal question at issue, He showa that the tickets were printed in the form which occasioned their rejection by advice of Corpora- tion Counsel O'Gorman and District-Atromey Hall. Judge Connolly wea also assured by the head of the Burean of Elections that the printed indorsement on the back of his tickets was safe and correct. The oontest, whioh Invelved simply a polut as to the proper indorsement of the tickets, may, it is result in favor of the Republican candidate, ‘Keolley. Xt Is reported on good suthority that the Austrion Government will refuse to yleld to the demands mado in the address of the Hungarian Diet. The address reptesents the views of the moderate Liberals, who follow the leadership of Deak, while the Radicls, who constitute more than two-fifths of the Lower House, desired to make & more emphatic opposition | queac the Radioals reprosent nearly the whole of the Mag- varnationality.

Le oldest dynasty in tho civilized woild is just going out of iexistence. A lin of sovoreigns Whi ‘h bas lastod for eleven centuries, which was already gray with the enows of a thousand years when the Manohoos founded the ancient dynasty of China, and whdse sceptor bad beon tianamitted through nearly a hundred sucoessive hands when the imperial purplo first fell upon the shoulders of a prince of the housewf Dapsbusg; which has survived assaults from without and rovolutions from wilbing bas beew tramplcd undor the fect of conquerors, and has trodden upon the nocks of wrointed kings; bas been driven from its capital with cutrage and insult, and has returned azain and again to enforee obedience and awe from the proudest empera-s of Christendom; this monarehy is now about to become estinet, and its one-hundrod-and-sixty- fourth representative to renonnce forever the temporal crown. Though Pivs IX. may yet cling for a few un- casy days to the semblance of civil supromacy, there can bo little doubt that the Popes will hereafter bo known in history, as they were known ng the enrly conturics, simply as spiritual pastors. The bistory of tho Papal power, from the times when tho Romans, appeing to their bishop for that protection against Barbarian enemies which their lo- gitimato sovereigns, the Fastern emperors, wore too weak or too indolent to give them, laid the founda- tion of the temporal independence of the States of the Chureh, down to the day when the French soldiers, who had &0 long supported the tottering pontifical throne, left tho Romans free to take back the power which they had originally given, is a history more startling, and varied in its changes, and more dramatic in its inci- dente, than that of any other monarchy in Europe. Now domincering over the whole civilized world, now reducod to the very bumblest rauk among independent sovereignties, the Papal States have presented a con- tinually shifting scenc of alternate magnificento and abasement. The triple crown has rested on the brows of great saints and of great sinners. Now it hus sur- mounted & face furrowed with the lines of prayer and penitential vigils, noy adorned a wail-clad form, loss familiar with the sanctuary than the tented fiold. A Julius has aspired to rival the military prow- oss of the old Casars, while a Leo bas emulated tae glorics of the Augu: age. An Alexander Borgia as reveled in un-peakable wickedness, aud a Sixtus has taught a corrupt State and a demoralized clergy to tremble at the rigor of his reforming arm, A Hilde- brand has made the humilintion of emperors his life- long study, while & Pius VL and a Pius V IL. have each in turn been dragged away into captivity by the great conqueror of Eurepe, If the danger which now hangs over Pius IX. were of the same nature &s the daagers which have hung over so many of his predecessors, we might admit that there was still scme chance of his retaining the scepter. Many a Pope Las been in sad straits, and has got out of them safe and sonnd. But in former times it used to be the sibition and avaice of rival monarchs which threatened the possessions of the Holy 8ee; now, it is the logic of inovitable progress, the natural sequence of the change which has taken place all through society The world has made up its min' that a crown and a mitre ought not (o worn same head; that a people ‘ought not to be bur- dened with a Government which they hate and which stauds in the ¥ay of their national happiness aud developmedit. It would be us unreesonable to expect the Pope's subjects to live much longer under the rule of an ecclesiastig, as to req the British Government to enforee all the customs of feudalism, or the new Knights of the Atlantic Cable to celebrate their promotion by a gorgeous tournament. We are far from belicviog, however, that the down. fall of the Papal civil power is to be the downfall of the Roman Catholio religion. On the contrary, we have little doubt that out of ber worldly losses the Charch will reap spiritual profit. She has never been go glorious as when she gathered together her children in the darkoess of the Catacombs, gave up her ministers to be scourged, and burned, and torn by wild beasts, labored in poverty aud disgrace, and imitated the Divine Master who was despised of men and bad not where to lay his head. 8ho is nowhere #0 prosperous to-day as in our own country, whero the State gives her nio help but an equal and just toleration. There is a contamination in the atmos- phere of courts which alwayy affects religion, and the corruption of politics spreads itsell even to a State Church, Relieved from the incubus of an effete aud odious political system, the Roman Catholic Church may be again in the fature, as she has some- times been in the past, a leader and gnide of the peoples in some of their noblest aspirations. —e FERNANDO WOOD AGAIN. Another bar to the enminal extravagance of the Common Council has been placed by the injunction of Judge Barnard restraining the City Government from completing the lease of Fernando Wood's rooms in Nassau-st. The facts set forth in Mr. Christopher Pullman’s affidavit are not unknown to the publie, and though more enormous swindles have been exposed, we doubt if even the records of the worst municipality in the world present any official robbery more andacious than this. From 1863 to 1866 Mr. Wood had been fortunate enough to rent certain roomg to the use of the City, for the large sum of $8,200 per annum, of which those hired for the Corporation Counsel cost $5,000. These were never occupied, and, with the sanction of the City, other rooms were leased during the three years for that purpose, for which an annusl payment of $11,000 was made. In other words $16,000 yearly, or 848,000 for the term, have been paid by the people for accommodations, and §15,000 for empty rooms. Both the buildings are, wo are informed, taxed upon a valuation of but §55,000. This is bad enough. But the Common Council last December excellod itself, in renewing the lease of Mr. Wood's rooms for a period of ten years, and agreeing to pay for them at the yearly rate of $15,- 000, This includes $5,000 for the rooms for the Cor- poration Counsel, which he has not used for three years, and as Mr. Pullman says, will never uso, as they are notoriously unfit for the purpose for which they are“hired. 4 Tt is almost useless to comment upon this transac- tion, yet we again rofer to it as evidence of the utter indifferenco of the Common Council to even tho ordi- nary decencies of fraud. Private bargaining is at least respectful to tax-payers, and has the affectation of & blush on its cheek, but this is brazen. The City Gov- ernment openly hires rooms it does not want and cannot use, in order to give Mr. Wood the handsoma be on ' inoome of #80,000 in the next 10 years, exclusive of an additional exorbitant rent of $100,000 for rooms in the gamo building. We need not examine tho other foatures of the case. This is enough. The insolen of offico can scarcely go further. . Judge Barnard, with these facts beforo him, could not have honestly refused the injunction; yet we are glad to find him so prompt in the discharge of his duty. The bargain is stopped, at least for tho presont. But what has Mr. O'Gorman to say ! What part has he taken in the-defense of the treasury against these mon who form a ring around it liko bighwaymen, and utter the perpotual ory of Stand and doliver I" Ho has an official duty in the premises.

We continno to reesive evidences of the imporiled condition of the Wool Manufacturo of our ontiro country.

The importations are really than doubls, yes, more than treble, what tho Treasury ments indicate.™ The Scorctary of tho Treasnry confeases in his an- nual Report that, on account of **a, systematic under- valuation of foreign merchendiso imported into the United States,” &c., **twenty per cont at least should be added to the imports, which would make the Lalance for the past year agsinst the United States nearly 100,000,000 From the evidenco wo last weok pullished, this then is the case: The Woolen mauufacturers of this country with aggregated capitals amounting to $50,000,000—giving employmeut to 80,000 male and fomalo operatives—sustaining with wages dircetly and indirectly 409,000 persons—doubling and trebling the value of agricultural land and of farm products in circlos of from 20 to 60 miles diameter around each and all of them—furnishing froight to railroads, ca- nals and steam vesse!s—giving infinfte businoss to ma- chine shops, founderies, mechanics, merchants, and agents—this immense industrial interost i3 in immme- dinte danger of being destroyod by foreign importa- tion®. Whetber this destruction of & most important elemant of national 1ifs shall be permitted, is a ques- tion which it should bo deemed a crimo to raise. To pormit it would be a wickednoss and a reckless mad- pes that could only find a paraliel in tho deliberate cutting of the dykes of Holland, and lotting the rea wholm in, end gweep away the culture and wealth which centuries of protected labor have slowly built up. Tho concurrent sta'ement of the American Woolen Mannfacturers is that their business must in- evitably and speedily perish if the Honse Tarifl Bill, or a bill like it in principle and equivalont to it in pro- tection, is not taken up by the Senato and made the Imw of the land. The political reconstruction of the country has consumed the time aund occupied the passions of Congross and tho poople for 18 months continnously. Wil not Congress give 18 days fo the calvation of one of the country’s most important ma- torial interests ? GUILLOTINING THE LADIES. 1f women for the present are debarred the p aud the privileges of the Elective Franc may consider it a8 & compensation that they are mostly apared the doubts and disappointmonts of of- fico-seoking, and the uncertainty of that kind of pub- lic position of which the pangs arsgreater than the perquisites. We were glad, in view of the number- lesa difficulties which women in pursuit of an inde- pendent livelibood must encounter, that room was made and work found for them inthq Treasury De- partment; but the old original curse soems to stic} even to their place-holding, for Mr. Secrotary Me- Culloch, it is rumored, is thiuking of dismissing all bi skirted assistants, not, a3 wo understand it, out ofa deficient and lukewarm gallantry, not be- cause the women clerks do not do their business well, but because our finaucial Jupiter i3 continually bothered in his serene mind by the' importunitics of Members of Congress secking positions for their female friends,” It is morcover stated that the patience of the Secrotary of the Interior has given out altogether, and that he bLas alrea barged nearly all bis clerkly ladies. There ha« not been such a time sinco Eve was marched out of the Garden of Eden—but then she bad a companion in her misfortune to con- sole her. Feundalism was not then invented. If it had been, wo are by no means certain that Adam would not bave been left in Paradise and Eve sent to o loncsome widowhood in the wilderness—an ar- rangement to which it is possible that Adam, who was a selfish fellow, would not have objected, But innsmuch as they were joined in the Fall, aud the woe of work fell equally upon both, it does seem hard that Adam should get two loaves of bread for the sweat of his brow and Eve only one—such, if we may credit the present philosophic custodians of * woman's #phero,” baving been the primeval rule of distribution, as it unfortunately bas been the rule cver since. Wo fear that man, with all his boasted superiority, is 0s- sentinlly an unjust animal, at least as a mem- ber of the mass. Tom, gvho is in love, may be geverous, but that may be selfishness; Dick, who is proud of Lis wife, may pay her milliner's vill | without a growl, and also without any great self- abnegation; Harry may be full of love and reverence, and all that sort of thing, for his cld grandmother, his maiden aunt, or his pretty cousin; but Tom, Dick, and Harry, acting in a political partnership, in mere mat- tors of the world, agreo in striking the whole sex out of the account, having a dim notion that agitation for women’s rights is a kind of destructive radiealism the success of which would turn the universe topsy- turyy. We wouldn't for the world charge auy such confusion of right and wrong upon so great & man as the Secretary of the Treasury. Weo pfesume that ho is simply bothered. Too much ciphering may bave made him nervous. The billions in the sum-total of the National debt may be too much for his equanimity. The gallant Members of Congress, tenderly anxious for interesting young gentlewdmen, may bore him witiin balf an inch of his valuablo existence, and seriously di- minish bis numerical capacity. But still, not being » Secretary of the Treasury, our vision is limited, and wo cannot for the life of us see why a great many clerks should be turned out because a atill larger numn- ber desire to get in, Possession, which is niue points of law, happens in this case to be nine points of equity, also. Tt isn't Miss Mary's fault if the [lon. Mr. Button- hole is importunate to bave Miss Jane appointed to something easy and profitable; and why should Misy Smith, who does hier work woll, be made to atone for the transgressions of loafers and lobby-members who, for loye or money, aunoy the great man by pressing the claims of their favorites or their fair clients? Moroover, as the result of onr limited pbservation, we must declare that office-secking is ot partienlarly a fomale weakness, We have kuown more than one most undoubted male engaged pressingly, not to say pussionately, in the Lusiness, making mormng colls upon Secretaries in their beds, waylaying them in the public streets, intercepting them at their office-doors, devising stratagems to effoct an ontrance into their bolted, barred, aud double-locked sanctums, and following them like their own shadows from the rising of the sun until the going down of the seme. Why should thoro be a* milder policy for the tongh than the tender? Why should Mr. McCulloch bo less tolerant of the teasivg of the fairer sex? I it because he can less casily ro- sist their winning ways and their moro emollient per- sunsions? 'Tlis, if 50, may prove the softness of his pature; buta public officer should be o bard old | Roman, panoplied against sighs, and uot to be tumned from bis purpose by the rolling river of the eye, no matter how fair the cheok down which it way ru its orystatline coarss. The Seeretary should calmly consider all the compensations of the gituation. Bored by place-buntery ho must be—-it is his predesti- nate fate, whieh he eanuot possibly be simple enough to think of attempting Lo avoid—and will it not be Lettor to boe plagued by soft and blooiing woman Tent of Lubin's extracts than by men breathing | I the odor of tho Wastinglon plu-mills? For ‘tho | place of every damsel brought soreaming or 6olding o tie Lloek, “ton mals applicants” will gue wid | supplicate with stronger lunga, aud cach with s Mem* Ler of Congress to back him. We think Mr. Secre- tary MeCullogh had better leavo well enough alone. » ARTS. ——— FINE PIOTOBCULPTORY { cssre. Huslon & Kurz, two -entorprsng young photographers, who, about a year ago, firat acqaaiuted us with the porcelain photograph, have now, at great exponse, made & vew bid for fortune in the introductioli to our public of the re- ocat French wveation, * Photosoulpture.” As their work-room is nearly completed, and everything necessary to the success of the undertaking is in readinoss, it caznot be many days before we hara statucttes, busts, and medallions of our own oitis placed beforo us, in addition to those admirable ones of Fronch men and women which bave beea sent over to the Amer- ican purchasers of the patent right as samples of what can be nccomplished by this ingenious iaveation, and we propose, thercfore, to tell our readers something about the prooess by which they are produced. Photosculpture, as may be easlly in farred, is the art of bringing photography to the aid of soulp- ture, and is the invention of & Mz, Willdwe of Paris, who bas practiced it successfully in that capital since 1863, and who has rocontly sold the right for England to a compauy in London, for a fabulous sum. And, no woader, for the invention is 80 usefu! that every one who can afford it is availing himself of it, and nothing Lut their pecessarily high price will prevent these littie statues from becoming as common as the ordinary visiting- togroph. It seems to have beon prophesied, as one ,in tho stercoscope ; but, although that produced 1084 to tho eye, it required a quick wit, and perhaps the <tion of & Lappy sccident to suggest the mothod of ac- ng roundness to the touch, and that guick wit was fonud in the brain of Mr Willéme. Let the roader go with us to Messrs, Huston & Kurz's work-room and usk thom to explnin what we find there, Mounting to the very top of the building we find the carpenters and paiaters busy a3 Decs in putting the finishing towslies to a large room having 24 sides, aad lighted by a roof composed eutirely of gliss, like the roof of n green-liouse.
