W ashington, March II.—Internal revenue receipts to-day $315,000.

A delegation from the National banks is here, lobbying against the funding bill.

Senate.—The protest of the Georgia col­ored legislators says, that they represent ninety thousand colored voters in the State of Georgia, who by the passage of this amendment will be delivered over, bound hand and foot, to their most bitter enemies, and that the colored Voters will be driven away from the polls. On motion of Mr. Trumbull, Georgia affairs was made the special order for to-morrow.

Amotion for a joint committee on Indian affairs was defeated by Vice-President Col fax's vote. The funding bill had been re­sumed and is under discussion.

Senate.—The funding bill passed by a vote of 36 to 10.

The Senate has adjourned until Monday, when the Georgia bill will be the special order.

House—The morning was consumed with private bills. After ^struggle between tbe friends ot the deficiency and tariff bills, the tariff bill prevailed.

The House went into a * ommiltee of the Whole on the tariff bill. After an hour’s speech, the deficiency bill was taken up. It aggregates $2,500,000, including for repairs on the customhouses at Savannah, $15,000; Mobile, $15,000, and Richmond, $25,000.

Washington, March 11.—The funding bill was amended by’reducing the expenue ot preparing and disposing of bonds to one- half of one per cent by dispensing with the foreign agencies for the payment of the interest, and allowing the organization of National banks on a deposit of $50,000. With these changes the bill passed as orig­inally prepared by Mr. Sherman from the Finance Committee.

R ome, March 11.—The Pontifical Court contests, in emphatic terms, the claim of the French Government to be represented in the Ecumenical Council.

B erlin , March 11.—The North German Gazette says : The claim of the Pope to in­fallibility only shows how liable to error he is.

P aris, March 11.—M. Ollivier stated in the Corp3 Legislatit to-day that the politi­cal prisoners had been removed from the Mazon Prison, in consequence of the preva­lence of the small pox.

In Sainte Pelaisse the government has commenced suit against the Gaulois news­papers for garbling the act of accusation against Prince Pierre Bonaparte.

INAUGURATION OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT THE CUSTOMHOUSE FRAUDS

How to Head Off Bascailtp.The New York Commercial Advertiser,

one of the leading journals ia the country says:

No sooner had the impeachment trial of State Auditor Wickliffe for corruption con eluded in Louisiana, last week, with a ver­dict of guilty, than he was arrested on a crimical^nrocess, and thrust into prison in defauit of paying a heavy ball, aud kept there until it was forthcoming. This vigor of action ;s most commendable. If there is one thing more demoralising to public morality and honesty than another, it is the manner in which proveu rascals are let off from punishmentv There are to-day not less than a dozen bank lobbers, in the shape of cashiers aud clerks, who walk up and down our thoroughfares with impunity. No steps have been taken for their arrest, and they have the assurance of influential friends that none ever will be taken.

Hitherto, public servants, when broken on the impeachment wheel have been re­garded as sufficiently puuished. Many dis­honestly disposed have been willing to incur the risks ot such punishment, if by so doing they could secure a fortune. Louisiana, to whose legislation considerable odium has been attached during the past year, is en­titled the credit of taking a*step forward and proclaiming, in the arrest of Wickliffe, that the official thief shall not oniv be broken and disgraced, but held to crinr.na! trial as a thief. Wickliffe embezzled the public funds by wholesale, and we trust to see an exam­ple made of him which will strike terror among those who misappropriate moneys entrusted to their keeping.

Merited Compel me at.The Red River News thu3 compliments

one cf the leading members of the General Assembly:

Among the present members of the Loui­siana Legis'ature few occupy a more exalted position than the Honorable C. W. Lowell. Tendered a vote cf thanks at the last session of the Legislature for the dignified, impar­tial and courteous manner in which he pre­sided over the deliberations of the House, he has not less proven himself worthy of compliment as a member on the floor. 'He is justly winning golden opinions from friends and foes. Whether as presiding of­fice of the House or a member, whether a government official, intrusted with impor­tant and responsible duties, he has exhibited a uniform character for honestly, truthful­ness and probity. Louisiana may well feel proud of such men, and we kuow of none who bear a more enviable reputation than this gentleman.

In the correspondence between Generals Sheridan and Sherman, published in Chicago this week, Sheridan asserts that in the last eight years eight hundred persons have been murdered by Indians within the limits of his present command, many being fearfully tortured ahd mutilated, and some women have been ravished fifty or sixty times suc­cessively. Sheridan declares that Vincent Coilyer is undoubtedlv in the interest of the old Indian ring, and says that the problem to be decided is who shall be killed, the whites or Indians.

Fnou, Faoc.— Miss Lucille Western, who will follow Miss Kate Raignolds at the Academy of Music, will open here with “Frou, Frou,” the latest sensation drama, in which she will sustain the leading part. The St. Louis Times says of this actress, who is now playing at the Olympic:

Miss Lucille Western appeared last even­ing as Maggie Kookley in the tariffing drama of the “Child Stealer,’’ and was greeted with a crowded house. Her acting was excellent in every particular, and the general support was good.

The many friends of Mr. Charles E. Ingmis will regret to learn that he has been re - moved from the position of Deputy Col­lector, which he filled in a manner 'highly satisfactory to our mercantile community. Mr. Ingall’s removal was purely a matter of party preference, aud reflects in.no manner upon his character, private or official. Our merchants generally will testify to hia urbanity, capacity and desire to facilitate business. Mr. iDgaiis takes charge of the registry desk.

Tbe Btorr o f a Man Who Passed HisTime Id the Penltentlarjr Pleasantly

[From the Jackson Citizen.;In 1831-32 there lived in Monroe county,

Mississippi, a planter named Wooley. He was a half-breed, at least there was a great deal of Cherokee Indian in him. He owned about two hundred slaves, and had all the worst habits of the old-time planter—drinking, gambling, and horse racing. These pursuits alternated formed hia sole occupation, the plantation being managed by an overseer. He had the sole virtue of possessing a soul of Indian veneration for tne sacredaess of his word.

He would not execute a note for any pur­chase whatever, and held all men in sover­eign contempt who violated their pledged word. He had no compunction in killing a man in what he deemed a just quarrel ; but his word was his bond. This was his well known character, and he could have got credit for thousands on his word easier than other men could have got hundreds. At the time we speak of he had killed several persons in gambling quarrels, and he was looked upon as a man not to be crossed ex­cept at the risk of life.

One night, while playing cards in Colum­bus. a quarrel arose about the game. Hia opponent was a known desperado, and he gave the lie to Woolev's statement about the game. Bowies flashed out simultaneously; both were slightly wounded, when a lucky blow laid VTooley's opponent dead upon the floor. Next morning Wooley was arrested— arrested because he did not care that it should be otherwise.

Wooley had carried his killing so far that the Judge feltbohnd to commit him, in or­der to avoid the imputation of being affect­ed either by fear of his desperadoism or wealth. Accordingly to jail went Wooley. The jailor was a weak man—weak in courage and weak to resist the influence of a doucer. After bearing his confinement for a day or two, Wooley sent for the jailor.

“ See here, Jim,” said he, “ you know me : you know I never break my yord. Now, I want to go’out and have a social time with the boys. You can just leave me the key, and when it gets bed time I will come, lock myself in, and it will be all right.”

This argument was enforced by material considerations; and night after night Wooley used to come out and enjoy hia noc­turnal liberty. The court sitting soon, be got the case put off, and giving bail in the sum of $10,000 was released.

At the next term of the Court, Wooley was put upon trial; the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the Judge sentenced him to one year in ithe penitentiary at Jackson. The 'papers were duly niade cut, and the Sheriff proposed to start with him for iJack- aon, but Wooley demurred.

“You know, Sheriff,” said he, “that the country ia poor—can't afford the trip—and so I’ll just let my boy Cmaar drive me down to Jackson, and save ail the expense. Got the papers?”

The Sheriff produced them, and, ere he waajaware, Wooley seized them and put them into his pocket.

“ All right,” S3id he, “ I shall be off to­morrow morning.”

Thu Sheriff knew he had a desperate man to deal with, but when he reflected that Wooley never broke his word, and had. be­sides, over $100,000 worth of property, he could not move; ne made a virtue 01 neces­sity, and left things to take their turn.

True to his word, Wooley left for Jackson, and in time arrived. Putting up at the Mansion House, he sallied out, vieited all the gambling hells with which that town even then abounded, and the next morning drove up to the penitentiary. Entering the ward room, he inquired :

“ Where shall I find the Warden ? ” j“ lam the man,” said Colonel Deckson.»“ Well, I’ve brought you a prisoner.”“ Where is he ? ” inquired the Warden.“Here; 1 am the man," and Wooley

handed over the Sheriff’s mittimus.The warden was amazed. Had he a luna­

tic to deal with, or had the man killed the Sheriff aud then come to the prison to d efv him ? He could not tell; but he determined quickly to keep the man, since- he offered himself.

“Now,” said Wooley, “let's go through this place and see how it looks;" and through tney went. As they returned to the guard room, Wooley had talked so pleas­antly that the Warden" felt reassured, and said jocosely:

“Now, 31 r. Wooley, what branch of the business do you think you would like best ?”

“To tell yen the truth. Colonel,” said Wooley, “I never did a day's work in my life, “anil I don't think I’d like any of your cussed trades. I'll tell you how we cau fix it; I’ll clerk lor you, just for the name of the thing, and we’ii live Jolliiy together, till the year’s up."

The warden saw he had a character to deal with, and concluded that a man who would go into a prison of his own accord, would not run away, and acquiesced. Wooley staid his year accordingly ; nominal clerk or companion by day, and a gambler in Jackson by night. He kept the ward room supplied with Havanas, and a sly nook in the office always contained the best of liquors. His year up, he left unregretting but regretted, for at heart he was a good fellow, and made 1 the Warden a good companion.

The father of Dorabeila recently found j that Rule girl’s chubby little hands full of ; the blossoms of a beautifuL tea-rose on ! which he had.bestowed great care. “My deal,” he said, “didn’t I tell yon not to pick one of those iluwers without leave?” "Yes, papa,” said Dorabella, “but all these had leaves.” ,

OB ANT AMO AO THE FBISTKBS.

The Improvis'd Decorations.Washington, March 5.—The President,

accompanied by General Dent, visited the Government Printing Office at noon to-day, upon the invitation of Mr. Clapp, and in­spected the machinery and manner of con­ducting the business in that establishment. The Marine band was in attendance. Mi. Clapp, the government printer, received tbe President and General Dent, and escorted them through the building, in company with Senators Anthony, Caeserly and Har­ris, and Hon. Mr. Laflin, chairman of the Honse Committee on Printing. It was stated at the office yesterday this visit would be made, and the employee improvised the decorations, consisting of handsome wreaths of flowers, flags ana portraits. 8on*e large banners were hnng in festoons from the ceilings, on which were priuted the following mottoes: “March 4, 1869-gold. 145; March 4, 1870-gold, 113;” “One year’s Administration the national debt reduced ninety millions;” “U. S. Grant synonymous with peace and plenty;” “Fight it out on that line if it takes all the sum­mer.” A sheepskin printer’s apron was suspended over one of the presses, with the portraits of Grant and Colfax on either side. The word “Welcome,” in large letters, was conspicuous in the west end of the job office. About three fourths of the male em­ployes of the office served under General Grant in the late war, and the occasion was cue of great interest to them. This is the first visit the President has ever made to this office. President Lincoln visited tbe printing office during the last year of the war, and was received then with demonstra­tions of respect. As the President entered the compositor's room, “Hail to the Chief,’” was played by the band, which had Deea engaged for the occasion by the employes. No intermission of work in any of the rooms was observed during the time the visitors were passing the 700 workmen employed there. After geing through the compositor’s room, the press room below was visited, where the large Bullock press, tastefully decorated with miniature flags and a portrait of the President, attracted fnuch attention. The stereotype, binders’, folding and ruling rooms were visited in order, and the visitors introduced to the foreman of each room by Mr Clapp, and the machinery was examined while in full operation. The process of ste­reotyping was witnessed with much interest by the visitors, and many questions an­swered by the workmen as to the manner of doing the work. In passing throe gh the folding room a beautiful bouquet of flowers, prepared by tbe ladies there, was presented to the President by Mrs. Emma Bouderback, who said: “Mr. President, please accept this floral tribute from the ladies of this depart­ment.” The President received the gift, bowing his acknowledgments and bidding the Iadie3 good morning, passed on. The visit occupied about two hours, and the President was escorted to the door on his departure by Mr. Clapp, amid the cheers of the employes and music by the band.

WYOMING.

The Dawn of the Millennium—A Grand dory of Women Sworn—A Lailr Bas­il OT Attends Them.

L aramie C ity , W. T., March 7_Thejudi-ciarv of Wyoming sustains the right of wo­men to serve as grand jurors. All the la­dies drawn as grand jurors were present at eleven o’clock. A motion to q uasn the panel was not snstained. At 11:55 A. M. the first panel of lady grand jurors in the world was sworn. None asked to be excused. A lady bailiff was appointed for the grand jurors.A splendid address was delivered by Chief Justice Howe.

In impanneling and charging the grand jury, Judge Howe said : “ Ladies and gen­tlemen ot the Grand Jury—It is a novelty to see, as we do to-day, iadjes summoned to serve as j urors. The extension of political rights and franchises to woman is a subject that is agitating the whole country. I have never taken an active part in discussions, but nave long seen that wo­man was a victim to the vices, crimes, and immorality of man, with no power to protect and defend herself from these evils. I have long felt that such powers of protection should be conferred upon woman, and it has fallen to our lot here to act as the pioneer in this movement, and to test the question. The eyes of the world are to-day fixed upon this jury of Albany county. There is not the slightest impropriety in any lady occupying the position, and I v-isb to assure you that the fullest protection of the court shall bo accorded to you. It would be a most shame­ful scandal upon our temple of justice and courts of law, if anything should be permit­ted which the most sensitive lady might not hear with propriety and witness; and here let me add, it will be a sorry day for any man who shall so far forget the courtesies due and paid by every American gentleman to every American lady as to even by a word or act endeavor to deter you from the exer­cise of those rights with which the laws have invested you.

“I will conclude wtih thejremark: This is. a question for you to decidetfor yourself; no man has any right to interfere. It seems to be proper for women to sit upon grand juries, which will give them the best possi­ble opportunity to aid iu suppressing dens of infamy which curse the country. I shall be glad of your assistance in the accomplish­ment of this object. I do not make these remarks from any distrust of gentlemen; on the contrary, I am exceedingly plcaeed and gratified with the indication of intelligence, iove of law and good order and gentlemanly deportment whicU I see manifested. I will- now listen to any reason which any jurors make for being excused.”

Governor Warjioth .—The Baton R o u g e 1 Courier says:

Much as Governor Warmoth’s enemies have tried to blacken his reputation, he has, in every case, met the issue squarely and refuted their calumnies in the most signal manner. When Mr; Wickliffe preferred charges against him as an offset to thoec brought against himself, the Governor came forward and proved them so utterly groundless as to produce only a revulsion of public sentiment in hi3 favor and against kis acoBter. ,So far from Governor War- moth suffering by the investigation, he has come out of ,jt w’ith credit; and, we hope, the evidence taken, both in the Wickliffe ' investigation and that of the Governor, will be published in the same volume that the public may see how little ground there was for accusation against the Governor, while the proof against the Auditor is so con­vincing.

The interesting case of Hickman vs. Hick­man has ju s t been decided in Ohio. Thia was a libel for divorce brought by the wife, who alleged “three acts of violence and general unkind treatment” oft the part of her husband. There soenis to have beea only one serious assault; but Judge Force, who gave a very elaborate and interesting op.nion. held that this was sufficient to war­rant a decree of divorce. “When,” he said, “the barriers of reverence which surrounds a lady's person is once broken through by a blow: when a husband has found it a possi­ble thing to strike his wife, what guaranty is there that he will not do it again ?” Cer­tainly this is a case in which a woman should be leit at entire liberty to judge for herself; and no law should compel her, against her own judgment, to risk a repetition of vio­lence.

In a speech delivered before tho Young Men's Christian Associaiion at Louisville Thursday night, Mr. H. Thane Miller, of Cin­cinnati, related a laughable incident. He and another Cincinnatian were introduced to a school in Halifax. The teacher told his pupils where Cinciunati was, and added that they had more and bigger hogs there than any place in the world; “and”, said he, “we have two representatives here to-dav." Mr. Miller said it was a mixed compliment, and they had to take it.

There is a youth of fifteen years in Bcioto, Ohio, who is six feet six inches high, and ia still growing. His pants have to be woven in a rope walk. He folds np like a two-foot rule, and has to get upon his knees to put

i his hand* into his pockets.
