Referred to Mr. Shaw, who reported them correct, making a motion that he be invited to take his seat, Mr. Wal- ton having occupied the chair for the mo- ment. Mr. Delassize made a report in reference to the action of Judge flibble in tittiDg up the Eighth District Court room, without referetrie to tlie Administrator of Public Buildings. Tlie report, deprecating Judge Dibble’s action, whs adopted. Administrator West informed the Council of certain necessary clerical changes made by him. Approved. Mr. Shaw offered the following, which were read twice aud laid over: An ordinance levying a tax of three-nuar- qunrters of one per cent for Metropolitan Police purposes. WiiiiRKAS, under authority of an act of the Legislature, approved March 8, 186!), entitled “ an act to amend and re-enact an act entitled •an act to establish a Metro- politan Police District, and to provide for the government thereof, approved Septem- ber 14, 1868,’ ” the Board of Commissioners of tlio Metropolitan Police District, con- vened as a Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment, have made up and submitted to the Mayor an estimate of the sums re- qui’red for the expenses of the said board for the year ending the thirtieth of Septem- ber, 1871, amounting to eight hundreil anti niue thousand nine hundred and thirty-two dollars and tiftyn'ue cents ($809.93 159), and Whereas, Under authority of an act of the Legislature, entitled “ an act for the relief of the officers and memhors of the Metropoli- tan Police,” being No. 72, of the session of 1870, passed over the Governor's veto, ' the said Board of Commission- ers have assessed this city thirty per cent ou the amount of the warrants issued by said board in their fiscal year eighteen hun- dred and sixty-nine, said thirty per ceut amounting to a sum of two hundred and three thousand six hundred dollars aud sixtv-four cents; and Whereas. By said act of the legislature, approved March 8, 1869, the Council oi this cifv is directed annually to order and ca)ise to he raised and collected by the tax upon the cltate, reul and personal, subject to tax- ation according to law. the sums of money as aforesaid annually estimated and appor- tioned as ti)C share of this city of Jbo total expenses olthe Metropolitan Police district; therefore, Be it ordained bv the Council of the city of New Orleans, That a special tax of threi'- quarters of one per cent t>e and is hereby assessed on the real and personal property as valued in the assessment rolls of this city, to lie due and payable like the other tuxes of the city. An ordinance fixing and assessing the rate of taxation on the assessment roils of 1870. Be it ordained bv the Council of the city of New Orleans, That in virtue of para- graph twelve, of section twelve, and of sec- tion nineteen of the charter, the rate of tax- ation ou the assessment rolls of 1870. paya- ble in 1871, be and is hereby fixed and as- sessed, as follows: For the capital ami interest of the consol idated loan, at the rate of sixtv-one ami a half (61 hi) cents os every one hundred dol lars of the assessed value of real property.

Jackson and Great Northern, and tlie New Orleans, Opelousas and Great West- ern railroad, at the rate of twenty (20) cents on every one hundred dollars of the assessed value of real property. For the capital and interest of the bonds of the one million loan, now over duo and falling due in the year 1871. at the rate of thirty-two (32) cent's on every one hundred dollars of the assessed value of the real and personal property. For the other liabilities and expenditures of the city, at the rate of sixty-one and a half (til ta) 'cents on every onehnndred dollars of the assessed value of real property, and one hundred and forty-three cents (143) on every one hunilred dollars of the assessed value of the personal property. An ordinance to impose and levy an annual tax to establish the “ New Orleans Bark.” W hereas , By section seven rrf an act of the Legislature, entitled *’An act to establish a public park for the city of New Orleans, and to provide means therefor," approved March 16, 1870, it is made obligatory, under penalty, on the city of New Orleans, to im- pose and levy for the purposes of said act, an annual tax of one eighth of one per cent on the assessed value of all the real, personal and mixed property taxed by the eity for any other purpose; therefore Be it ordained bv the Council of tlie city of New Orleans, That the said tax of one eighth of one per cent, be and is hereby im- posed and levied in obedience to the re- quirements of said act. A petition of citizens relative to the fruit market, Second District, was referred. A petition from Messrs. Billings & . Hughes, in reference to services rendered in purchasing the Waterworks for the city, was referred. The petitioners ask compen- sation in $2500. A communication of the School Board was referred. A communication from Sheriff Sauvinet, relative to collection of taxes, was referred. City Attorney George S. Lacev informed the board that he had nominated the follow- ing gentlemen: A. C.

The proposition to sell a piece of vacant property fronting on Water, Delta and St. Joseph streets to the Jackson Railroad Com- pany for ten thousand dollars, was read and laid over. Referred to Administrator of Police. By Mr. West: ■ An ordinance permitting steamboat men to leave freight on the landing lbr forty- eight hours instead of twenty-four hours. Lies over. Administrator Lewis reported in favor of removing furniture carts and other nuisances on Camp street, from Poydras to Gravier streets. He stated that he had in- structed the police to keep the carts ott' the street. Approved. The sum of sixty-eight dollars was voted to the Boys and Girls’Houses of Refuge, for a Christmas gift to the unhappy inmates, on motion of Administrator Lewis. Administrator Emley reported unfavor- ably to a petition for relief from certain parties interested in the Poydras and Pilie Markets. At a meeting of the new directors of the Jefferson City Gaslight Company, held last night, Mr. J. H. Oglesby was elected president, and Frank Lockwood secretary and treasurer. The reports of the various officers showed the affairs of the company to be in a prosperous condition. 4 We refer our readers to the concluding portion of the report of a lecture by Colonel John E. Gowon, in New Tork, which we copy from the Washington Chronicle. It may be found on one of the inside pages of this morning's Bspyblican. THE BANK 8WINDLER8 HIBERNIA BANK LOSSES NOTH® 9 HOW THE DISCOVERIES WtRK MIBB We are glad to learn from Mr. John Hen- derson, one of the directors, that the Hibernia Bank had no cheeks of the swind- ling firm of Clayton, Williams it Co., paid no money on their checks, had no business transactions with that firm, and did not lose a dollar by their frauds. ( It seems that the suspicions of the cashier of one of the banks victimized or patron- ized hy the bogus firm of Clayton, Williams Sc Co., had his suspicions first aroused by the report that a firm was selling whisky much below the market rates, which could not be done without fraud somewhere. He suspected it was the house of Clayton, Williams Sc Co. that was engaged iu this transaction, and fearing that the revenue officers would be on tbc tr:vck of the checks and seize them, he made the inquiries which led to subsequent and important dis- closures. One of the worthy carpenters of this city, who had fitted tip a counting-room for the swindling firm of (Hayton, Williams & Co., got his work douo l:ist week, and was ready to take his money Saturday eve- ning. but was -requested by the firm to bring liis bill in Monday morning, and they would then pay it and arrange with him to fit up another counting-room on the floor above. Sir. Pitkin went there Monday morning, but instead of meeting the firm ami getting his money, he saw some re. spectable hank directors looking in vain for assets to satisfy the amount of the forged chocks they had paid. Quarantine Raised. In compliance with a request of the-. Board of Health, Governor Warmoth has removed the prohibition on ufssels arriving here from the ports of the tropics. Ships from any place with clean bills.of health will be allowed to come up without deten- tion. while those with infections disease will be overhauled as usual. This has been the practice for some time, but it was deemed best to postpone the formal an- nouncement until all possible probability of danger had passed away. One swallow does not make a summer; ” nor does one prize drawn in a lottery make that lottery a lucky one to venture in. But if a thousand or two of swallows come along, and when prize alter prize is drawn light among us in New Orleans, it is fair to conclude, both that summer is at hand and that the lottery from which so many prizes are drawn is the right one to invest in. Tn our advertising columns will bo found the card of Mr. John Lewis, resident ol Wash- ington street, near Rampart street, adding one more to the numerous evidences of luck in the Louisiana State Lottery. Mr. Lewis certifies that last Saturday he drew the quarter of the six thousand dollar prize, the ticket which drew the same costing but twenty-five cents. He is now rejoicing in the possession of the cash, as tLe*“money was promptly paid on presentation at the counter of the company. The idea which seemed toliave taken deep root iu the time of the luto Democratic city government, that any soft of stuff would do to fulllii city contracts, is likely to prove futile during the present administration. Au instance of this may be found in the fact tbut tlie Nicolson pavement on St. Charles avenue has been shopped for some days past, iu consequence of a dispute between tlie Administrator of Improvements and the contractors for the pavement, in relation to the quality of cypress timber used. There has been considerable done in referring the matter to experts, and it is probable that an umpire will now be selected whose deci- sion will he abided hy on both sides. How- ever tlie matter may terminate, it shows that the eity administration is conducted with a strictness and a just regard to the eity interests, that would have been laughed at during the time ol the late Democratic city government. The political complexion of the next Legislature of this State, as shown by the returns made by the board of returning ofli- cer* of the result of tlio election held on the seventh of November last, will bo as fol- lows: lu the Senate, thirty-six Republicans and seven Democrats; in the House of Representatives, seventy-four Republicans and twenty-nine Democrats. This makes a Republican majority of twenty-nine in the Senate, and forty-nine in the House. Of the Republican members of the House returned by the hoard, two have died since the elec tion—Joseph L'Official, from East Baton Rouge, and Joshua Coleman, from Tensas. There would, however, be no essential dif- ference in the Republican complexion of the House if the parties returned in the place, of the two deceased members were Democrats, although that is not likely to happen. We are glad to learn that Captain James Lewis, Administrator of Police, is taking steps to abate an evil that has long infested the, Sixth District, the reckless driving of cattle through the streets. The driving of herds of semi-wild and thirst-infuriated cattle at their own headlong impulse, through streets thronged with passengers, and especially with young children, is even more dangerous than the driving of vehicles at a reck lees pace. For in the latter case there is a biped animal, in some way qualified for the office, at one end of the reins to guide the quadruped animal at the other; but the cattle thus driven have no guiding rein. It is to be hoped that tlie Administrator of Police will extend the reform to the Fifth District, on the right batik of the river. We thank Mr. J. W. Jones, president, for complimentary tickets to the grand fancy dress and calico ball of* the Washington Base Bail Club, to be given at Carroll llaii, next Saturday evening. The Republican Pioneer, of St. John the Baptist parish, says: „ The sujjar planters of this parish seem to be well pleased with the yield of the cane lately; the weather has been very favorable for the cane, and aocounts partly for the larger yield than was expected at the begin- ning of the rolling season. Borne cane yields, as we. were told, two hogsheads per acre, and one and a half hogsheads appears to be tlie average yield. The only drawback in roll- ing is the lack of watei, as we had unusually liitle rain this fall, and most of the water- ponds are dry, so that many of our planters are obliged to 4mploy pumps at the river to supply their sqg«rb»tt*e«.

The proposi- tion to dig up the bones of our dead soldiers in order that certain property might be given back to its rebel owners, was, to his mind, perfectly monstrous. While enter- taining* the highest respect for his friend, Mr. McCreery, ne hoped the Senate‘would never entertain the proposition. Mr. McCreery: Mr. President, presuming that the justice and courtesy of the gentle- men who compose this Senate will accord fifteen or twenty minutes to me, I shall pro- ceed to submit tbo remarks which I bad in- tended to make yesterday. The mournful intelligence of the death of General Lee reached us at our homes in vacation. The melancholy tidings of the death of General •Thomas, and the accents of sorrow in which his sorrowing friends poured forth the national grief at his irre- parable loss, were still fresh in ottr.jeeollec- tion, when we learned that vet another of the great actors in the drama through which we have passed had breathed his last. These great men were natives of Vir- giua; they were born about the same time, and when one of them had finished his ' ^career, a very brief period was allotted to the other; the (Jod of nature had stamped tlie brow of each with the seal of command, and he had endowed them with faculties worthy of command on the march, and in the battle they had st4tod together. Common toil and common danger had probably en- deared them to each other, for they appear to have been superior to the petty rivalry which embitters the existence of inferior mortals. Bat when the South raised her standard and called upon her sons to rally in its defense each man had to settle the momentous question for himself. The dignity and tlie strength of their understanding enabled them to survey the prospect, to realize all its terrible consequences. In their reflec- tions they may have been perplexed by doubts, and almost overwhelmed with anxieties, but their honest conlusions compelled their separation. Thomas re- solved to follow the starry emblem of the Union, while Lee resolved to stand or fall by the State that had given him birth, with his kith and kin of the South. From the eon- cuiTCiit testimony of his most intimate ac- quaintances, we are led to believe that General I,ee enjoyed a singular ex- emption from tho faults and the follies of other men; he was a stranger and an enemy to extravagance^ to dissipation, and to vice. The vanity and flattery which usually at- tends success could not seduce him froiji propriety, while his inflexible virtue could defy defeat. Bat his faults aud his follies, whatever thev were, Be their memories dispersed like tlie winds of the air) General Lee was an American citizen, and the American peoplo will never relin- quish the property which they hold in the name and fame of the great Virginian, his modesty and sobriety, his spotless integ- rity, his virtue and nis valor, will be held up for the admiration and imitation of man- kind as long as those exalted qualities shall have a friend updn earth. When the sword is invoked, the con- queror bus little difficulty in appropriating to himself such titles as may correspond, in his estimation, with his own efforts for tlie church or the State, and he is equally as ready to brand his adversary as a heretic or a traitor. The sword has less capacity to understand and decide a cause upon sits merits than any other tribunal that has ever been known among men. Hpeora and battle axes, cannon and rifie balls, are the advo- cates that plead in this court, and tears and blood, and fire and famine, are the costs levied upon the litigants. The judgments of the sword have not always commanded that universal respect which might have been expected, coming from a court of such enlarged jurisdiction. * The block from which the heads of H am ^ den and Sydney dropped, ana the cord tlidB strangled Emmett, could not consign their names to infamy. History had enrolled them among the patriots bind martyrs who have died in defense of the sacred cause of right. War may be, for aught I know, one of the necessities of our being. Nature itself Is averse to repose. Tlie air that we breathe lashes itself into fury, and the tor- nado sweeps over land and sea, leaving deso- lation in its pathway. The sierra blast of the desert buries camel and rider iu its course. Tlie Jightning leaps from the clouds, and swift destruction follows in its fiery track. The ground upon which we stand mav he .an upheaval of the lofty mountain, with its rocks and shells; may have risen from the bosom of the fathomless ocean. If the ele- ments are tints liable to commotion and con- vulsion, is it wonderful that man, the creature of passion and prejudice, of ambi- tion, revenge and avarice, should. some- times find himself in open hostility with his brother! The right of secession and the power of coercion are matters that I do not propose to discuss here or any where else. I shall say nothing about the causes of the war. It is frequently tho most difficult thing in the world' to assign the true cause of a war. The first great war of which we have any knowledge was fought about a young lady who had married against the wishes of her parents, aud as there were many nations engaged and a great eity destroyed ‘in the struggle we may fairly conclude that she was a pio- neer in that line of disobedience. Siuce that time men have become more practical aud wars are waged as a great thing for land or ready money, bonds or other se- curities, as the exigency of the case may require. Tamerlane and Bajazet seem to have fought to see who could whip, and curi- osity on the same point may have con- tributed largely to bring about the conflict between France aud Prussia. i The civil strife in this country probably had as much cau*e, and there may have been as many jjood reasons for it as for other wars. 'Whether the useless crimina- tion aud recrimination which preceded it were the causes or only the premonitory symptoms, is more than' I can pretend to determine. It came, and around its banners gathered as brave men as ever followed the Roman Eagle. You joined hands with those among whom you were born, and General Lee did the same tiling. •Brilliant as had been the career of Gen- eral Lee, the closing scene of his life ndded renewed lustre to his fame. Lexington is situated in a valley of surpassing loveliness, the mountains rising on either side like huge wails inclosing a beautiful garden; here stood an institution of learning which bore an illustrious name, endeared to him by ancestral association as well as by the ties of family connection, but what was a college without a student, in a country where the ravages of war had left only so anty means of subsistence. « The trustees most widely tendered the position of president to General I^ee, and lie accepted it. The transition from the camp to the school room had been of rare occurrence, but General Lee was equally eminent iu either situation. It was his am- bition to elevate, the standard of scholar- ship; to make Washington College tlie seat of science aud art, as well as of literature. He was not dismayed by the difficultiesond embarrassments that surrounded him. His administrative ability, his zeal and his energy surmounted them all. and tlie crea- tion of his genius rose majestic in its super- structure; and firm and solid in| its founda- tions, there it stands the pride of Virginia. The son of "Light Horse Harry,” penniless as a beggar, had completed a monument to Washington. It is not a shaft or an obelisk, whose cold exterior forbids tlie touch and repels tlio glance of the beholder. But it is a monument replete with life, and light, and hope; radiant with intelligence, the home of the arts and the sciences, of music and of poetrv, with a chapel and an altar dedicated to religion and to God. General I>>e was taken suddenly and vio lently ill. The paroxysm, however, abated in a measure, and a gleam of hope relieved tlie apprehensions ol his family and friends. But the disease, instead of being subdued, was only gathering strength for a final blow. It soon became apparent to all that his hour was come. He alone was unmoved by the information. He was in- different to the issue of life or death. He had no expectations and ns desires upon the subject. Here was perfect resignation. He bad" been a faithful soldier of the cross, and if the order had issued from head- quarters. he was ready to march over the border. The lamp of life burned low and dim; the scenes of earth were closing around him. Unconscious of the present, the shadowy past rose before his vision, and his very latest utterance expressed a wish to see a friend. Lee whispered, "Scud for A. P. Ilill.” Under the same circumstances Jackson liad said, "Send A. P. Hill to the front.” Armies occupied the last thoughts of Napoleon, and so it may have been with Lee and Jackson. General Lee has gone to the grave. He was buried by his own direction, without display. If there are those among us who derive eomfoit from casting aspersions upon his character, they will do so, but the South and the North, and the East and the West will remember Lee. The widowed partner of his bosom still lives, and in her behalf I implore your justice. I do not ask for any- thing else. She belongs to a race fond of bestowing charity; but poverty can not force them to accept it. She owns hut does not occupy the home of her fathers. Will you. Senators, remove the bar which ex- cludes her from Arlington ? The following were the responses made to Mr.’McCreery in the Senate: Mr. Edmunds said that instead of being wedded to tlie institutions of Virginia, Gen- eral Lee was a ward of the nation; that the nation had fed, clothed and educated him; that lie had lived at the capital, but when the capital had called upon him to defend the flag under which he had been burn, pro- tected and honored, he deliberately turned liis back upon it, aud planted his cannon in eight of the capital he had sworn to protect and defends but he (Edmunds! would not dignify such a proposition by die useing it. General Lee was now dead. The only re- gret, he thought, that any right-minded man who believed in the war would have, was that General Lee had not died either in his youth, or in his patriotic manhood, or even that he had not died earlier than he did by the hand of the law, which would have atoned, iu some measure, for his crime. Mr. Trumbull, while disclaiming any sympathy with the apparent object of the rcsolutio'u, which was to surrender and mu- tilate the last resting place of thousands of Union dead, held that it would be. if not un- precedented, at least unparliamentary, to deny to a member a simple request for leave to introduce any legislation, not in itself in- sulting to the Senate. Mr. Carpenter inquired whether Mr. Trumbull could state a proposition more flagrantly insulting to the Senate, than that to remove the slaughtered dead of the Union army from Arlington for the purpose of re- turning the l’ann to its rebel possessors. Mr. Trumbull replied, that while the resolution was, without doubt, repugnant to the sense of the nation, it was not in a per- sonal- sense insulting to the Senate. He was averse to the adoption of any prece- dent, the effect of which would be to prevent the free exercise of a right guaranteed to a member of the Senate. Messrs. Edmunds and Sumner cited two instances; the former the ease of tlie pro- E oaed annexation of T exasthe latter, the ill for the repeal of the fugitive slave aeft and requests for leave to bring in bills were refused. Five additional instances were enumerated by the Vice-President. Mr. Morton protested against ihu con- sideration of the resolution. He had heard what he never expected, a eulogy upon the - character of General Lee in the Senate of jt be United States, and that, too, within sight of ‘the graves of the victims of his rebellion. Hampton and Sydney died, not for human slavery, but for liberty. This man, General * Lee, was, of all others^ the great sinner. He - bad sinned against light and knowledge. His revolutionary ancestry, his oath of fealty as an officer of the United States, his- finished education and high abilities, all forbade him thus to sin, and the enormity of his erime cquld not be concealed by decorating liis grave with the flowers of rhetoric. In a word, it was now proposed that the Senate should gravely consider a proposition to degrade the memories of the patriotic dead of Arlington, by removing their bones to less hallowed ground, in ten- der consideration of the rights of a widow of an arch rebel of tbo most wicked rebel- lion in history. Mr. Scott said coupling together the names of Thomas and Lee recalled an ut- terance of Stephen A. Douglass, made at the time those two generals resolved to ttead hr opposite paths, that at that time there were but two classes in the nation, patriots and traitors. The patience with wfdch the Sen- ate of the United States bad to-day listened, to an eulogy upon the chief conspirator in an attempt Ur tear down.the government, was but another illustration of that ^unpar- alleled magnanimity and mercy which nad characterized the treatment by the government of those engaged • in the rebellion. Had the subject of that eulogy succeeded in his effort, where would the American Senate now be sitting? By his triumph slavery would have cast its dark shadow all over this land of freedom, from tho St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico. To-day the doctrine of secession lay buried beneath the bones of thousands who fell, that their blood might seal the covenant of the nation. Yet, to-day, we behold the spectacle of a resurrectionist coming here to drag the dead doctrine out from beneath the bones of the nation’ggnartyrs. Mr. Wiley characterized tho resolution as most insulting and shocking to the sense of the Senate and country, as abhorrent to humanity. Though personally tenacious of the rights of individual members, he could not vote to receive it. Mr. Sawyer said the Arlington estate, like thousands of acres of property in the South, had been forfeited ana sold at public sale for the non-payment of taxes, and bought by the Uuited States. In the absence of any memorial from Mrs. Lee he regarded the contemplated inquiry as utterly worthless, as the farts he bad stated were well-known and needed no verification. Mr. Satilsburv disapproved of that part of the resolution looking to the removal of the. graves from Arlington. He could1 not see that tlie inerits-of the cause in which Gen- eral Lee was engaged, were at all in the controversy. He regarded the question as one simply of the ability of a Senator to exercise his right to introduce business. Mr. Nyc said the unseemly haste in cer- tain quarters to restore traitors to favor could result in no good. The verdict of to- day, aud of posterity is, and will he, that General Lee was a traitor. Mr. Flanagan, in some general remarks,, spoke of General Lee as the greatest traitor of the age, whose influence had carried into the rebellion the flower of Southern youth. Davis, the other great traitor, still lived, and in the light of recent events, it was not unreasonable to expect an early move to make him President. Mr. Sumner desired that parliamentary law should be administered upon the pres- ent occasion with the utmost rigor, with the view to a most summary disposition of the resolution. He had nothing to say of Gen- eral Lee, except that his name stood upon- tlie catalogue of those who had imbued their liands in their country’s blood. He was content to hand him over to tho aveng- ing pen of history. _ _ ^ He regurded the resolution as indicative of the sentiments of the political associates of the Senator from Kentucky, as prefigur- ing the policy they would establish should they obtain power, a policy which was to take the old leheUion oy the hand and to install it in a high place of power. Could he make his voice heard from Massachusetts to Louisiana, it would be to warn liis fellow-countrymen, especially of the South, against that _ combination which now showed its hand in the propo- sition of the Senator from Kentucky. He stated that he was present when Secretary Stanton gave orders for the inter- ment of the dead bodies of Union soldiers at Arlington, and that Stanton stated at the time that his purpose in selecting it was to forever prohibit the reinstatement of the Lee family there; that if they did come, that they might encounter the gliost§ of their’ victims. He quoted the epitaph above the grave of Shakespeare, which he now pro- posed to write above tlie grave of every one of our patriot dead: “Good friend, for Jeans’ sake forbear To dig the dust enclosed here; Blessed be the man who spares these stones. And curst he he who moves my bones.” Mr. McCreery stated that the resolution • was in no sense an embodiment of Demo- cratic sentiment, but had been submitted upon his individual responsibility, without consultation with his colleagues. He then asked permission to withdraw the resolution, which was refused, though finally, permission to introduce it was also refused. ______ _______ LONDON. Affray at St. Peter’s, Rome—Bismarck Will Not Treat With the Tours Gov- ernment—Pnris Refuses tu Surrender— Fighting by Duke of Meckleuburg— Loss on Both Sides Heavy—Truth About the Reported Armistice—The Steamer Berlin. L ondon, December 11.—Steamer Berlin, Baltimore, has arrived at Groat Grimsby,, where she lies waiting a safe opportunity to- proceed. • Total deaths from the Birmingham explo- sion twenty-nine. An affray, occurred at before St. Peters,. Rome, iu which clubs and knives went- used, but no fire arms. Serious conne quenccs threatened. The people were dis- persed by Italian soldiers. London, December 10.—Bismarck de- clares that he will not treat with the Tours government, becanse it connived at bad faith and its officers broke their paroles. The Paris government has just refused a summons to surrender. They will tight to the last man. Wood writes from headquarters at Meung, dated the ninth, that the Duke of Mecklen- burg had three days fighting with, the six- teenth and seventeenth French corps. The fighting commenced ou the seventh, near Meung. The French fought with wonderful obstinacy. The German Toss was very great, hut the French loss much greater. The French are now retreating toward Vierzon, S ursued by Prince William of Mecklenburg, [ore fighting expected to-morrow. Macklean reports, on the tenth, tlie centre of Prince Frederick Charles’ army at Or- leans, the left wing at Beaugeney, and the right wing near Gien. A cavalry division, followed hy infantry, proceeded south from Orleans to Vierzon. Manteuffel is operating to occupy Dieppe, Havre and Rouen. L ondon, December 11.—The Morning Post tells the exact truth about the repeated armistice. Gumbetta suggested to Lord Lyons, with a view to the speedy meeting and efficiency of the coming congress on the Eastern question, that an armisti.se be pressed by neutrhl powers in order to allow elections of French to the assembly, and thus give increased weight to the presence of the French plenipotentiary in said con- gress. No overture was made to Bismarck, hor has the suggestion had any resalt. The revolutionary party at Rome at- tempted an emente on the ninth instant, threatening to sack St. Peters and attack Vatican. It was quelled by gendarmes, aided by military. Anns destined for Franco, were seized iu Belgium. The French made a violent attack at Meung, but were repulsed.

We refer our readers to the concluding portion of the report of a lecture by Colonel John E. Gowon, in New Tork, which we copy from the Washington Chronicle. It may be found on one of the inside pages of this morning's Bspyblican.

THE BANK 8WINDLER8

HIBERNIA BANK LOSSES NOTH® 9

HOW THE DISCOVERIES W tR K M IBB

We are glad to learn from Mr. John Hen­derson, one of the directors, that the Hibernia Bank had no cheeks of the swind­ling firm of Clayton, Williams it Co., paid no money on their checks, had no business transactions with that firm, and did not lose a dollar by their frauds. (

It seems that the suspicions of the cashier of one of the banks victimized or patron­ized hy the bogus firm of Clayton, Williams Sc Co., had his suspicions first aroused by the report that a firm was selling whisky much below the market rates, which could not be done without fraud somewhere. He suspected it was the house of Clayton, Williams Sc Co. that was engaged iu this transaction, and fearing that the revenue officers would be on tbc tr:vck of the checks and seize them, he made the inquiries which led to subsequent and important dis­closures.

One of the worthy carpenters of this city, who had fitted tip a counting-room for the swindling firm of (Hayton, Williams & Co., got his work douo l:ist week, and was ready to take his money Saturday eve­ning. but was -requested by the firm to bring liis bill in Monday morning, and they would then pay it and arrange with him to fit up another counting-room on the floor above. Sir. Pitkin went there Monday morning, but instead of meeting the firm ami getting his money, he saw some re. spectable hank directors looking in vain for assets to satisfy the amount of the forged chocks they had paid.

Q u a ra n tin e R a is e d .In compliance with a request of the-.

Board of Health, Governor Warmoth has removed the prohibition on ufssels arriving here from the ports of the tropics. Ships from any place with clean bills.of health will be allowed to come up without deten­tion. while those with infections disease will be overhauled as usual. This has been the practice for some time, but it was deemed best to postpone the formal an­nouncement until all possible probability of danger had passed away.

One swallow does not make a summer; ” nor does one prize drawn in a lottery make that lottery a lucky one to venture in. But if a thousand or two of swallows come along, and when prize alter prize is drawn light among us in New Orleans, it is fair to conclude, both that summer is at hand and that the lottery from which so many prizes are drawn is the right one to invest in. Tn our advertising columns will bo found the card of Mr. John Lewis, resident ol Wash­ington street, near Rampart street, adding one more to the numerous evidences of luck in the Louisiana State Lottery. Mr. Lewis certifies that last Saturday he drew the quarter of the six thousand dollar prize, the ticket which drew the same costing but twenty-five cents. He is now rejoicing in the possession of the cash, as tLe*“money was promptly paid on presentation at the counter of the company.

The idea which seemed toliave taken deep root iu the time of the luto Democratic city government, that any soft of stuff would do to fulllii city contracts, is likely to prove futile during the present administration. Au instance of this may be found in the fact tbut tlie Nicolson pavement on St. Charles avenue has been shopped for some days past, iu consequence of a dispute between tlie Administrator of Improvements and the contractors for the pavement, in relation to the quality of cypress timber used. There has been considerable done in referring the matter to experts, and it is probable that an umpire will now be selected whose deci­sion will he abided hy on both sides. How­ever tlie matter may terminate, it shows that the eity administration is conducted with a strictness and a just regard to the eity interests, that would have been laughed at during the time ol the late Democratic city government.

The political complexion of the next Legislature of this State, as shown by the returns made by the board of returning ofli- cer* of the result of tlio election held on the seventh of November last, will bo as fol­lows: lu the Senate, thirty-six Republicans and seven Democrats; in the House of Representatives, seventy-four Republicans and twenty-nine Democrats. This makes a Republican majority of twenty-nine in the Senate, and forty-nine in the House. Of the Republican members of the House returned by the hoard, two have died since the elec tion—Joseph L'Official, from East Baton Rouge, and Joshua Coleman, from Tensas. There would, however, be no essential dif­ference in the Republican complexion of the House if the parties returned in the place, of the two deceased members were Democrats, although that is not likely to happen.

We are glad to learn that Captain James Lewis, Administrator of Police, is taking steps to abate an evil that has long infested the, Sixth District, the reckless driving of cattle through the streets. The driving of herds of semi-wild and thirst-infuriated cattle at their own headlong impulse, through streets thronged with passengers, and especially with young children, is even more dangerous than the driving of vehicles a t a reck lees pace. For in the latter case there is a biped animal, in some way qualified for the office, at one end of the reins to guide the quadruped animal at the other; but the cattle thus driven have no guiding rein. It is to be hoped that tlie Administrator of Police will extend the reform to the Fifth District, on the right batik of the river.

We thank Mr. J. W. Jones, president, for complimentary tickets to the grand fancy dress and calico ball of* the Washington Base Bail Club, to be given at Carroll llaii, next Saturday evening.

The Republican Pioneer, of St. John the Baptist parish, says: „

The sujjar planters of this parish seem to be well pleased with the yield of the cane lately; the weather has been very favorable for the cane, and aocounts partly for the larger yield than was expected at the begin­ning of the rolling season. Borne cane yields, as we. were told, two hogsheads per acre, and one and a half hogsheads appears to be tlie average yield. The only drawback in roll­ing is the lack of watei, as we had unusually liitle rain this fall, and most of the water- ponds are dry, so that many of our planters are obliged to 4mploy pumps at the river to supply their sqg«rb»tt*e«.

Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, hoped the leave wonld not be granted. The proposi­tion to dig up the bones of our dead soldiers in order that certain property might be given back to its rebel owners, was, to his mind, perfectly monstrous. While enter­taining* the highest respect for his friend, Mr. McCreery, ne hoped the Senate‘would never entertain the proposition.

Mr. McCreery: Mr. President, presuming that the justice and courtesy of the gentle­men who compose this Senate will accord fifteen or twenty minutes to me, I shall pro­ceed to submit tbo remarks which I bad in­tended to make yesterday.

The mournful intelligence of the death of General Lee reached us at our homes in vacation. The melancholy tidings of the death of General •Thomas, and the accents of sorrow in which his sorrowing friends poured forth the national grief at his irre­parable loss, were still fresh in ottr.jeeollec- tion, when we learned that vet another of the great actors in the drama through which we have passed had breathed his last. These great men were natives of Vir- giua; they were born about the same time, and when one of them had finished his

' career, a very brief period was allotted to the other; the (Jod of nature had stamped tlie brow of each with the seal of command, and he had endowed them with faculties worthy of command on the march, and in the battle they had st4tod together. Common toil and common danger had probably en­deared them to each other, for they appear to have been superior to the petty rivalry which embitters the existence of inferior mortals. Bat when the South raised her standard and called upon her sons to rally in its defense each man had to settle the momentous question for himself. The dignity and tlie strength of their understanding enabled them to survey the prospect, to realize all its terrible consequences. In their reflec­tions they may have been perplexed by doubts, and almost overwhelmed with anxieties, but their honest conlusions compelled their separation. Thomas re­solved to follow the starry emblem of the Union, while Lee resolved to stand or fall by the State that had given him birth, with his kith and kin of the South. From the eon- cuiTCiit testimony of his most intimate ac­quaintances, we are led to believe that General I,ee enjoyed a singular ex­emption from tho faults and the follies of other men; he was a stranger and an enemy to extravagance^ to dissipation, and to vice. The vanity and flattery which usually at­tends success could not seduce him froiji propriety, while his inflexible virtue could defy defeat.Bat his faults aud his follies, whatever thev were, Be their memories dispersed like tlie winds of the

air)General Lee was an American citizen,

and the American peoplo will never relin­quish the property which they hold in the name and fame of the great Virginian, his modesty and sobriety, his spotless integ­rity, his virtue and nis valor, will be held up for the admiration and imitation of man­kind as long as those exalted qualities shall have a friend updn earth.

When the sword is invoked, the con­queror bus little difficulty in appropriating to himself such titles as may correspond, in his estimation, with his own efforts for tlie church or the State, and he is equally as ready to brand his adversary as a heretic or a traitor. The sword has less capacity to understand and decide a cause upon sits merits than any other tribunal that has ever been known among men. Hpeora and battle

axes, cannon and rifie balls, are the advo­cates that plead in this court, and tears and blood, and fire and famine, are the costs levied upon the litigants. The judgments of the sword have not always commanded that universal respect which might have been expected, coming from a court of such enlarged jurisdiction.* The block from which the heads of H am ^ den and Sydney dropped, ana the cord tlidB strangled Emmett, could not consign their names to infamy. History had enrolled them among the patriots bind martyrs who have died in defense of the sacred cause of right. War may be, for aught I know, one of the necessities of our being. Nature itself Is averse to repose. Tlie air that we breathe lashes itself into fury, and the tor­nado sweeps over land and sea, leaving deso­lation in its pathway. The sierra blast of the desert buries camel and rider iu its course. Tlie Jightning leaps from the clouds, and swift destruction follows in its fiery track.

The ground upon which we stand mav he .an upheaval of the lofty mountain, with its rocks and shells; may have risen from the bosom of the fathomless ocean. If the ele­ments are tints liable to commotion and con­vulsion, is it wonderful that man, the creature of passion and prejudice, of ambi­tion, revenge and avarice, should. some­times find himself in open hostility with his brother! The right of secession and the power of coercion are matters that I do not propose to discuss here or any where else.I shall say nothing about the causes of the war. It is frequently tho most difficult thing in the world' to assign the true cause of a war. The first great war of which we have any knowledge was fought about a young lady who had married against the wishes of her parents, aud as there were many nations engaged and a great eity destroyed ‘in the struggle we may fairly conclude that she was a pio­neer in that line of disobedience. Siuce that time men have become more practical aud wars are waged as a great thing for land or ready money, bonds or other se­curities, as the exigency of the case may require. Tamerlane and Bajazet seem to have fought to see who could whip, and curi­osity on the same point may have con­tributed largely to bring about the conflict between France aud Prussia. i

The civil strife in this country probably had as much cau*e, and there may have been as many jjood reasons for it as for other wars. 'Whether the useless crimina­tion aud recrimination which preceded it were the causes or only the premonitory symptoms, is more than' I can pretend to determine. It came, and around its banners gathered as brave men as ever followed the Roman Eagle.

You joined hands with those among whom you were born, and General Lee did the same tiling.

•Brilliant as had been the career of Gen­eral Lee, the closing scene of his life ndded renewed lustre to his fame. Lexington is situated in a valley of surpassing loveliness, the mountains rising on either side like huge wails inclosing a beautiful garden; here stood an institution of learning which bore an illustrious name, endeared to him by ancestral association as well as by the ties of family connection, but what was a college without a student, in a country where the ravages of war had left only so a nty means of subsistence. «

The trustees most widely tendered the position of president to General I ee, and lie accepted it. The transition from the camp to the school room had been of rare occurrence, but General Lee was equally eminent iu either situation. It was his am­bition to elevate, the standard of scholar­ship; to make Washington College tlie seat of science aud art, as well as of literature. He was not dismayed by the difficultiesond embarrassments that surrounded him. His administrative ability, his zeal and his energy surmounted them all. and tlie crea­tion of his genius rose majestic in its super­structure; and firm and solid in| its founda­tions, there it stands the pride of Virginia. The son of "Light Horse Harry,” penniless as a beggar, had completed a monument to Washington. It is not a shaft or an obelisk, whose cold exterior forbids tlie touch and repels tlio glance of the beholder. But it is a monument replete with life, and light, and hope; radiant with intelligence, the home of the arts and the sciences, of music and of poetrv, with a chapel and an altar dedicated to religion and to God.

General I>>e was taken suddenly and vio lently ill. The paroxysm, however, abated in a measure, and a gleam of hope relieved tlie apprehensions ol his family and friends. But the disease, instead of being subdued, was only gathering strength for a final blow. It soon became apparent to all that his hour was come. He alone was unmoved by the information. He was in­different to the issue of life or death. He had no expectations and ns desires upon the subject. Here was perfect resignation. He bad" been a faithful soldier of the cross, and if the order had issued from head­quarters. he was ready to march over the border. The lamp of life burned low and dim; the scenes of earth were closing around him. Unconscious of the present, the shadowy past rose before his vision, and his very latest utterance expressed a wish to see a friend. Lee whispered, "Scud for A. P. Ilill.” Under the same circumstances Jackson liad said, "Send A. P. Hill to the front.” Armies occupied the last thoughts of Napoleon, and so it may have been with Lee and Jackson.

General Lee has gone to the grave. He was buried by his own direction, without display. If there are those among us who derive eomfoit from casting aspersions upon his character, they will do so, but the South and the North, and the East and the West will remember Lee. The widowed partner of his bosom still lives, and in her behalf I implore your justice. I do not ask for any­thing else. She belongs to a race fond of bestowing charity; but poverty can not force them to accept it. She owns hut does not occupy the home of her fathers. Will you. Senators, remove the bar which ex­cludes her from Arlington ?

The following were the responses made to Mr.’McCreery in the Senate:

Mr. Edmunds said that instead of being wedded to tlie institutions of Virginia, Gen­eral Lee was a ward of the nation; that the nation had fed, clothed and educated him; that lie had lived at the capital, but when the capital had called upon him to defend the flag under which he had been burn, pro­tected and honored, he deliberately turned liis back upon it, aud planted his cannon in eight of the capital he had sworn to protectand defends but he (Edmunds! would not dignify such a proposition by die useing it. General Lee was now dead. The only re­gret, he thought, that any right-minded man who believed in the war would have, was that General Lee had not died either in his youth, or in his patriotic manhood, or even that he had not died earlier than he did by the hand of the law, which would have atoned, iu some measure, for his crime.

Mr. Trumbull, while disclaiming any sympathy with the apparent object of the rcsolutio'u, which was to surrender and mu­tilate the last resting place of thousands of Union dead, held that it would be. if not un­precedented, at least unparliamentary, to deny to a member a simple request for leave to introduce any legislation, not in itself in­sulting to the Senate.

Mr. Carpenter inquired whether Mr. Trumbull could state a proposition more flagrantly insulting to the Senate, than that to remove the slaughtered dead of the Union army from Arlington for the purpose of re­turning the l’ann to its rebel possessors.

Mr. Trumbull replied, that while the resolution was, without doubt, repugnant to the sense of the nation, it was not in a per­sonal- sense insulting to the Senate. He was averse to the adoption of any prece­dent, the effect of which would be to prevent the free exercise of a right guaranteed to a member of the Senate.

Messrs. Edmunds and Sumner cited two instances; the former the ease of tlie pro-Eoaed annexation of Texasthe latter, the

ill for the repeal of the fugitive slave aeft and requests for leave to bring in bills were refused. Five additional instances were enumerated by the Vice-President.

Mr. Morton protested against ihu con­sideration of the resolution. He had heard

what he never expected, a eulogy upon the - character of General Lee in the Senate of jtbe United States, and that, too, within sight of

‘the graves of the victims of his rebellion. Hampton and Sydney died, not for human slavery, but for liberty. This man, General * Lee, was, of all others the great sinner. He - bad sinned against light and knowledge. His revolutionary ancestry, his oath of fealty as an officer of the United States, his- finished education and high abilities, all forbade him thus to sin, and the enormity of his erime cquld not be concealed by decorating liis grave with the flowers of rhetoric. In a word, it was now proposed that the Senate should gravely consider a proposition to degrade the memories of the patriotic dead of Arlington, by removing their bones to less hallowed ground, in ten­der consideration of the rights of a widow of an arch rebel of tbo most wicked rebel­lion in history.

Mr. Scott said coupling together the names of Thomas and Lee recalled an ut­terance of Stephen A. Douglass, made at the time those two generals resolved to ttead hr opposite paths, that at that time there were but two classes in the nation, patriots and traitors. The patience with wfdch the Sen­ate of the United States bad to-day listened, to an eulogy upon the chief conspirator in an attempt Ur tear down.the government, was but another illustration of that unpar­alleled magnanimity and mercy which nad characterized the treatment by the government of those engaged • in the rebellion. Had the subject of that eulogy succeeded in his effort, where would the American Senate now be sitting? By his triumph slavery would have cast its dark shadow all over this land of freedom, from tho St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico. To-day the doctrine of secession lay buried beneath the bones of thousands who fell, that their blood might seal the covenant of the nation. Yet, to-day, we behold the spectacle of a resurrectionist coming here to drag the dead doctrine out from beneath the bones of the nation’ggnartyrs.

Mr. Wiley characterized tho resolution as most insulting and shocking to the sense of the Senate and country, as abhorrent to humanity. Though personally tenacious of the rights of individual members, he could not vote to receive it.

Mr. Sawyer said the Arlington estate, like thousands of acres of property in the South, had been forfeited ana sold at public sale for the non-payment of taxes, and bought by the Uuited States. In the absence of any memorial from Mrs. Lee he regarded the contemplated inquiry as utterly worthless, as the farts he bad stated were well-known and needed no verification.

Mr. Satilsburv disapproved of that part of the resolution looking to the removal of the. graves from Arlington. He could1 not see that tlie inerits-of the cause in which Gen­eral Lee was engaged, were at all in the controversy. He regarded the question as one simply of the ability of a Senator to exercise his right to introduce business.

Mr. Nyc said the unseemly haste in cer­tain quarters to restore traitors to favor could result in no good. The verdict of to­day, aud of posterity is, and will he, that General Lee was a traitor.

Mr. Flanagan, in some general remarks,, spoke of General Lee as the greatest traitor of the age, whose influence had carried into the rebellion the flower of Southern youth. Davis, the other great traitor, still lived, and in the light of recent events, it was not unreasonable to expect an early move to make him President.

Mr. Sumner desired that parliamentary law should be administered upon the pres­ent occasion with the utmost rigor, with the view to a most summary disposition of the resolution. He had nothing to say of Gen­eral Lee, except that his name stood upon- tlie catalogue of those who had imbued their liands in their country’s blood. He was content to hand him over to tho aveng­ing pen of history. _ _ ^

He regurded the resolution as indicative of the sentiments of the political associatesof the Senator from Kentucky, as prefigur­ing the policy they would establish should they obtain power, a policy which was to take the old leheUion oy the hand and to install it in a high place of power. Could he make his voice heard from Massachusetts to Louisiana, it would be to warn liis fellow-countrymen, especially of the South, against that _ combination which now showed its hand in the propo­sition of the Senator from Kentucky.

He stated that he was present when Secretary Stanton gave orders for the inter­ment of the dead bodies of Union soldiers at Arlington, and that Stanton stated at the time that his purpose in selecting it was to forever prohibit the reinstatement of the Lee family there; that if they did come, that they might encounter the gliost§ of their’ victims. He quoted the epitaph above the grave of Shakespeare, which he now pro­posed to write above tlie grave of every one of our patriot dead:

“Good friend, for Jeans’ sake forbear To dig the dust enclosed here;Blessed be the man who spares these stones. And curst he he who moves my bones.”

Mr. McCreery stated that the resolution • was in no sense an embodiment of Demo­cratic sentiment, but had been submitted upon his individual responsibility, without consultation with his colleagues.

He then asked permission to withdraw the resolution, which was refused, though finally, permission to introduce it was also refused. ______ _______
