The Superior Court of Maryland has refused

an election of delegates to the Constitutional 
Convention, illegally called by the Legislature 
of that State. 
The Memphis Bulletin has the following: 
“ We could 6cour the pine woods of Mississippi 
and Alabama to-morrow, and drive before us 
hundreds and thousands of active, stalwart 
young white laborers, who are wasting their 
time in utter and entire idleness, because they 
are too proud or too lazy to work. Many of the 
families to which these young vagabonds belong 
are in a starving condition, some of them being 
the actual recipients of charity from the Freed- 
inen’s Bureau.”

funds for his *>wn personal use. Over $200,000 
of the amount has been recovered. He fled to 
Texas and was arrested there.

of Monday, the 18th of March, the measure is 
already hopelessly condemned.

The telegraph brings an array of evidence 
in support of the pending treaty between the 
United States and Russia, by which the latter 
cedes all her fkmsessions on the American conti¬ 
nent to the former. In a dispatch to the Secre¬ 
tary of War from San Francisco, dated April 4, 
Major-General II. W. Halleck says, “I learn 
from a gentleman who has recently visited many 
parts of Russian America that its value has been 
greatly under-estimated. The rejection ®f the 
treaty would cause great dissatisfaction, espe¬ 
cially in California.

The proposed Russian treaty will unques¬ 
tionably be postponed till December, and the 
chances arc very strong that it will then be de¬ 
feated. No good reasons have yet been stated 
for its approval. 
The joint resolut ion for the relief of Hie desti¬ 
tute in the Southern and Southwestern States, 
does not contain a specific appropriation of one 
million dollars, ns originally proposed, but was 
passed in the following form :—That the Secre¬ 
tary of War he and hereby is empowered and 
directed to issue supplies or food, sufficient to 
prevent starvation and extreme want, to uny 
and all classes of destitute or helpless persons, 
where failure of the crops and other causes have 
occasioned wide-spread destitution; that the is¬ 
sues be made through the Freedmcn’s Bureau, 
under 6ueh regulation* as the Secretary of War 
shall prescribe; and to that end the Secretary of 
War is hereby authorized and directed, through 
the Commissioner of the Freedincrf s Bureau, to 
apply so much as he rnay deem necessary for the 
purpose aforesaid, of unexpended moneys here¬ 
tofore appropriated to supply freedmen and refu- 
gecs with provisions or rations; provided that 
the tkvpenditurc shall not extend beyond the 
present appropriation already made for the 
Freedtnen’a Bureau. 
The Department of State has received a dis¬ 
patch from the U. S. Legation at the Hague, 
dated March 16th, which says:—“ Since my last 
letter the rinderpest has spread in Belgium and 
France. The report of its progress in Holland 
from the 5th of January to the 17th of February 
shows a decline from week to week. The num¬ 
ber of cases in that period was nearly 18,000; 
deaths, 7,175; slaughtered, 4,441; being a total 
loss of 11,616.” 
The commissioner of the General Land Oflice 
received returns showing the aggregate disposal 
of 18,824 acres of public lands dnring the month 
of March last, at the following local offices, viz; 
Tallfthassc, Fla., 8,866 acres, under the home¬ 
stead act ol' June 21st, 1860, which confines the 
entry to 80 acres each ; East Saginaw, Mich., 6,- 
192 acres; Ironton, Mo., 1,785 acres; Ionia, 
Mich., 1,081 acres. At the three last named 
offices nearly all the land disposed of was taken 
for actual settlement and cultivation. Since the 
opening of the office at Tallahasee, Fla., 1,385 
farina have been added to the productive force 
of the State. 
The Senate has confirmed Henry G. Thomas 
to be Major-General by brevet; and Major-Gen¬ 
erals (Volunteer) Swaync, Tlios. L. Critteudcn, 
D. E. Sickles, J, J. Reynolds, B. H. Grierson 
and Nelson A. Miles to be Brigadier-Generals by 
brevet in the Regular Army. 
The Senate has continued the nominations of 
E. M. Norton to b<? Marshal of the District of. 
West Virginia; and l\ II. Winter, Marshal of 
the Southern District of Mississippi. Major- 
General Edward McCord to be First Lieutenant 
in the 4th regiment U. S. cavalry. 
In the ease of Nicholas Carr, convicted of man¬ 
slaughter and sentenced to be branded, an order 
has been received from Gen. Sickles prohibiting 
the branding on the ground that it comes within 
the law of Congress against maiming. The judg¬ 
ment of the Court was amended and the prisoner 
was fined two thousand dollars and imprison¬ 
ment for the space ol twelve months. 
The Russian Treaty, it is thought, will be 
ratified in a few days. 
From Canada. 
Toronto, C. W., April 5.—The whole ol the 
volunteer forces which were recently ordered to 
hold themselves in readiness have been placed 
under martial law and the authority of the 
Queen’s regulations. The different corps in the 
district have been placed under command of 
Major-General Stisted. 
From (lie Far Went, 
Idaho advices of March 26th say that Indian 
outrages in the Snake and Borse River Valley 
are numerous. Hardly any stock has been left 
by the savages to work the farms. The Indians 
had attacked the Owhegee stage and killed the 
driver and two passengers. The other passen¬ 
gers escaped. 
A dispatch from Virginia city announces the 
adjournment of the special session of the Legis¬ 
lature, which had been called together to pro¬ 
vide for a revenue bill. This object was accom¬ 
plished though not to the satisfaction of many 
of the people ol' Nevada. 
St. Lot 13, April 5.— The reported jpiassacre 
at Fort Buford is not credited here. Letters 
have been received from Fort Sully by a gentle¬ 
man of this city of a later date than the one 
upon which the story is based, which report all 
well and make no allusion to any disaster. Gen. 
Sbermau lias received no advices of a massacre, 
and disbelieves the report. 
The winter has been, as generally reported, 
one of unprecedented severity. Thousands of 
cattle, horses and mules, and some few families, 
have perished with cold and hunger. The sta¬ 
tions on the overland mail line have been kept 
supplied with provisions at great co6t and labor, 
the snow in many places rendering the roads 
impassable lor miles. 
In the vicinity of Silt Lake City the thermom¬ 
eter ranged from 33° to 40° below zero for sev¬

From Europe, 
The news from Europe is of a highly inter¬ 
esting character. There is an appearance of 
threatened imminent tvar between Russia and 
Turkey, and an indication that the much mooted 
“Eastern Question” may be very speedily 
brought to a final issue. The Czar is collecting 
troops along the Southern frontier of Russia, 
and the Sultan is concentrating Ins military 
strength at Constantinople. The Viceroy of 
Egypt, nominally subject to the Turkish Gov¬ 
ernment, cautiously holds aloof, and evinces no 
hearty sympathy w ith the cause or the fortunes 
of the Sublime Porte. Should the war actually 
commence, it could hardly fall short of involv¬ 
ing a good share of Europe, with the added cle¬ 
ment of all Turkey’s available strength in Asia 
and Africa. The result of it will decide the 
tenure of Moslem rule in Europe. 
News from Paris is to the effect that the 
Prince Imperial is not likely to live long, as his 
present illness* has greatly prostrated him. 
nerald’s Vienna correspondent says: — The 
mQst marked official attentions nre being paid 
to the Italiau Minister, while the coolness shown 
toward the Russian Representative was just as 
decided. 
It is thought that the Austrian Empire will go 
to a speedy and complete dissolution should it 
not be immediately knit together by a sharp war 
with either Russia or Prussia, a contest with 
Russia on the Eastern Question being the most 
likely. 
It seems to be now settled beyond all rea¬ 
sonable doubt that there will be no Reform bill 
carried duiing the present session, and that 
another appeal will be made to the present con¬ 
stituency of Parliament before the representatives 
finally decide how many of the unrepresented 
millions may be safely admitted within the pale 
•f the constitution. Lord Derby has declared

Rochester, April 9, 1867. ) 
There was an active call for money in this locality 
early last week, but the banks were able generally to 
respond to tbe calls of their customers. In New York 
the pressure was quite severe, and continued nearly 
through the week- It was expected that immediately 
after the quarterly statements were made, money would 
be plenty, and rates of interest on temporary loans con 
sidcrably lower. But, to the surprise of almost every¬ 
body, money was very close for some days, and the strin¬ 
gency was almost equal to that which prevailed under 
me January panic. One cause of the tightness of the 
N ew York market w as the fact that country and western 
bankers drew down their balances to a pretty low figure 
In order to make a good showing for the quarterly re¬ 
turns, and currency dtil not find its way east again as 
soon ns was anticipated. 
Stocks were depressed last week, particularly railroad 
securities. 
Gold Is something lower. The large amount of gold 
in the Treasury, and the sum to be paid out In May, have 
an effect upon the market. Sales were made yesterday 
at 135. 
The statement of the public debt for the 1st of April 
has been published. The changes from the March state¬ 
ment are as follows: 
The reduction of the temporary interest-hearing paper 
due in 1867 and 1868 was unusually heavy—in all, $52,748, y 
100, to wit: $34,526,400 fUDfled into gold-bearing stocks, 
and $19,223,700 paid In full out of the balances In the 
Treasury at the beginning of the month. The other 
changes In the statement result iu a further redaction of 
the grand total of the public debt of $7,3S5,sao. The total 
is now down to $2,52S,42S,070, and by the close of the fiscal 
year will probably he down to $2,500,000,000 of which near¬ 
ly one-iUth will be free of Interest, and the remainder in¬ 
terest-bearing.

The breaking of the levees on the Missis¬ 
sippi, in Louisiana, is producing great devasta¬ 
tion in the river counties of that State and great 
suffering among the poor whites and freedmen. 
One break alone has overflowed seven parishes, 
and others almost as damaging in their effects 
have occurred. Thousands ol' acres of fertile 
land are thus rendered useless for this season, 
and the laborers who were to have cultivated it 
are deprived of the means of earning their sub¬ 
sistence.
