Galveston News. W. RICHARDSON, J. R. CARNES, } EDITORS NEWS OFFICE IN GALVESTON.——Business received at the Old Office on Tremont street next to Hauter's building....."NEWS PRINTING OFFICE," brick building on Market street, 3rd and 4th stories up stairs....Subscription, Advertising, Job Work, &c., &c., attended to promptly at either office. sep3——dtf The patrons and friends of the Galveston News should bear in mind that any business with the Office may be done either at the Office in Houston, or at the old Office in Galveston. Galveston subscribers will either receive their papers at the Galveston Office or at Dr. Labadie's, as heretofore, or they will be left by the Carriers, as they prefer. TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1866. We are authorized to announce Col. JOHN S. SYDNOR as a candidate for the office of Mayor of Galveston. Fe20-tf We are authorized to announce CHAS. H. LEONARD as a candidate for re-election to the office of Mayor at the next municipal election Fe23 A partnership interest in the "News" Office having been agreed upon, dating from the 1st instant, it has become necessary to close up the past business so that date as soon as convenient. The business will hereafter be conducted in the name of W. Richardson & Co., until further notice. Col. A. H. Rolo, for some months past in charge of the books of the office, is authorized to settle all previously existing accounts with the office, as well as to attend to any future business under the present firm name. W. RICHARDSON. March 2d, 1866. dtw&wif Since the late decided conflict between the President and the Radicals, the latter have been holding meetings at Washington and appointing a committee of one from each State "to circulate information as to public affairs." Sumner's scrap-book is one of the most prominent sources of the "information." We have already stated more than once our fears of the prostitution of the Northern press by the Radical majority in Congress. While, on the one hand, the most utterly false statements concerning the treatment of the freedmen, purporting to come from the South, will be manufactured to order by the thousand, if necessary, on the other hand, abundant means will be raised for their publication and gratuitous distribution. This shows the desperation to which the radicals are driven. Many of the statements in such manner that they will be seen only by accident by the friends of the President. Often they will not be answered, and when they are, the replies will not reach those who have been deceived by the reports. Another of the tricks of the Radicals is to pass in all their meetings a resolution endorsing the President, followed at a respectful distance by another endorsing the majority in Congress. On such a platform they nominate men who are devoted to the Congressional majority and false to the President. Thus they hold for a time a large number of well disposed people who, having voted with the Republicans heretofore, would now vote to sustain the President, if the issue were fairly placed before them. This is the way the Radicals carried New York; and all their late successes have been achieved by this plan. Never before has there been a party which would resort to such abject methods for the sake of success. Hating the President bitterly, and opposing him with the utmost zeal on every point in his policy, they yet stoop to the ignominy of endeavoring, to deceive his friends into their support. We cannot but believe that these efforts show signs of weakness, and that their speedy exposure will only add to the completeness of the pending Radical defeat. The Convention——War Debt——Suffrage. On Saturday, 3d inst., Mr. Latimer, Chairman of the Committee on Finance, reported a bill repudiating the War Debt of the State. Three hundred copies were ordered to be printed. The following section in the Legislative Department has passed in Committee of the Whole: "Every free male person, who shall have attained the age of twenty-one years, and shall have resided in this State one year next preceding an election, and the last six months within the district, etc., in which be offers to vote, (Indians not taxed, Africans and descendants of Africans, excepted,) shall be deemed qualified electors, etc." No person shall be a Senator or Representative, according to the Committee of the Whole, unless he has been a resident of the State for five years. These amendments will probably be finally adopted by the Convention. Henry Ward Beecher spoke on the night of the 20th, at New York, to one of the largest audiences he ever addressed, in favor of the President's veto. He said that ultra friends of the negro got so very near him that they failed to see him in his proper light, and that in their eagerness to do him a benefit, they were, by injuring everybody about him, doing him an essential injury. His argument in favor of the immediate admission of Tennessee and Arkansas was received with a storm of applause. Slavery being abolished, he declared himself satisfied, and would consecrate the remainder of his days in helping to build up the nation in fraternity, in unity, in virture and in happiness. [[2nd column]] The News. In addition to what we give elsewhere by telegraph and from the mails, we condense the following from our exchanges: On the 23d ult., after long discussion, the Lower House of Congress, by a vote of 92 to 31, ousted Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana, and gave his seat to the contestant, Col. Washburne. Senator Wilson has introduced a bill to continue the Freedmen's Bureau in operation for two years from date, and give the commissioner power to secure all freedmen and refugees in their civil rights, including the right to buy and sell real estate and give evidence in the courts. An effort is making by Democratic politicians to have Gen. Slocum appointed to Collector of New York. They feel confident of success. The nomination of Peter Foy as Postmaster at St. Louis was rejected by the Senate on the 23d, by more than a two-third vote. This is a decided hit at the President. Since the above was written we have seen a dispatch stating that the confirmation was not refused because of unfriendly feeling to the President, but because of personal hostility between the appointee and the two Missouri Senators. The Democrats and Conservatives of Missouri held a meeting at St. Louis on the 23d, and adopted resolutions endorsing the Presidents course, sustaining the veto, and declaring that the regulation of suffrage belonged to the State, in favor of the admission of Southern Representatives, etc. Gen. Forrest writes to the Memphis Avalanche that he fears no investigation of his conduct, and does not intend to leave the country. Jesse R. Grant, father of the General, has been appointed Postmaster at Covington, Ky. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says that at a cabinet meeting Secretary Seward was very positive in his endorsement of the veto. Secretaries McCulloch, Welles and Denison also approved the document, while Secretaries Stanton, Harlan and Speed opposed it. Stanton and Harlan were very decided in their opposition. Another report says the cabinet are unanimous in support of the veto. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.——The Queen opened the English Parliament in person, on the 6th The following is the portion of the speech referring to this country: I have observed with satisfaction that the United States, after terminating successfully the severe struggle in which they were so long engaged, are wisely repairing the ravages of civil war. The abolition of slavery is an event calling forth the cordial sympathies and congratulations of this country, which has always been foremost in showing its abhorrence of an institution repugnant to every feeling of justice and humanity. I have at the same time the satisfaction to inform you that the exertions and perseverance of my naval squadron have reduced the slave trade on the West Coast of Africa within very narrow limits. A correspondence has taken place between my Government and that of the United States with respect to injuries inflicted on American commerce by cruisers under the Confederate flag. Copies of this correspondence will be laid before you. Mr. Rives Pollard told the correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer that Gen. Grant said if he had it in his power he would suppress the Cincinnati Inquirer and the New York News for their disloyalty. The Empress of Mexico has purchased at Jerusalem what is said to be the site of the habitation of the Virgin Mary. The Empress intends to erect a magnificent chateau on the spot. Ex-Governor Brown writes to a committee of the Georgia Legislature that it is injudicious to pass any freedmen's code or any law that discriminates between the races, so far as the courts are concerned, and tells them that all they want is a short statute, extending the provisions of the penal code to all persons of African descent, and extending to them all the civil rights enjoyed by white persons. The Ways and Means Committee have agreed to report a bill taxing cottons 5 per cent, and allowing a drawback on manufactured goods, exempting all incomes under one thousand dollars, and taxing all above one thousand at the rate of 5 per cent. The Latest News. NEW YORK, March 2.——The steamship Asia, from Liverpool, brings the following intelligence From Europe. Upwards of one hundred arrests were made in Dublin on the 17th, principally strangers. More arrests are expected. It is reported that the Emperor of Austria expressed a willingness to furnish Maximilian any troops he may require, if they were incorporated into the Mexican army, and their expenses paid. The diplomatic relations between Russia and the papal Court have entirely ceased. The haste in the repeal of the habeas corpus in Ireland was owing to the reported departure of Fenian privateers from America. The Army and Navy Gazette says the troops in Ireland are being distributed amongst the smaller towns This has given a greater feeling of security. Gladstone's budget will show three millions of pounds excess of income over expenditure. The London Times says the object of the Irish Government is doubtless to secure some of the emissaries of American Fenianism, now numerous in Ireland, and working with disastrous effect on the people. The Daily News believes the Government has acceded to the proposition of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in Ireland, and henceforth the Senate of the Queen's University of Ireland will consist of half Protestant and half Catholic members. FRANCE——In a debate on the address to the Emperor, M. Persiguy contended that the English Parliamentary Institutions were unsuited for France. He said that the Emperor had given France double the liberty, founded on a solid basis of authority. After the debate the address was unanimously adopted. The Bank of France gained fifteen millions of francs during the week, and reduced the rate of interest to 4 1/2 per cent. SPAIN——The newly born child of the Queen of Spain died on the 14th. ENGLAND——In the House of Commons, leave to suspend the habeas corpus act in Ireland was given by a vote of 364 to 5. The House of Lords passed it without opposition. A letter from Rome says it is believed that at the next consistory a bishop from the United States will receive a cardinal's hat. At a large meeting at Exeter Hall, under the auspices of the Freedmen's Aid Society, held to celebrate the passage of the constitutional amendment, a speck favoring the close union of England and America was fully applauded. WASHINGTON, March 1-Nothing important from the House. Nothing yet received from the Senate. The steamer Aurora sailed to-day with California mails. Amongst her passengers was Mr. Anson Burlingame, Minister to China. Gen. Rosencrans, Valvalenberg. Minister to Japan, and Lord Bishop Storby, of the Sandwich Islands, sailed in the Aurora to-day for California. The United States Revenue Committee on Petroleum will report a bill for the repeal of all duty on crude petroleum. The committee estimate that six millions of dollars will accrue from refined at 20 cents per gallon. The Herald's Fortress Monroe correspondent says Jeff. Davis's health continues good. At times he converses freely and agreeably upon all kinds of subjects. General Howard says the operations of the employment office to secure places for unemployed freedmen, is the only ground for the Herald's announcement of the reopening of the slave trade by the Freedmen's Bureau. LOUISVILLE, March 5——One armed Berry, whose execution was fixed for to morrow, has obtained a respite for fourteen days. NEW YORK, March 1.——Cotton frm 48 to 44c. Flour advanced 10c.

NEW YORK, March 1.——A motion was made in the Superior court to-day, to set aside the injunction obtained against Thurlow Weed, to restrain him from assigning certain interests in the New Orleans and San Francisco Telegraph.

WASHINGTON, March 1.——There is the highest authority for stating that Secretary Stanton fully approves the President's action, and that the entire Cabinet as a unit in regard thereto. The Herald's Toronto dispatch says the Fenian alarm continues. Bank robberies are frequent. The latest instance is an attack on the Bank of Lennox by 25 men. NEW YORK, March 1.——The Times publishes the speech of M. F. Conway, formerly Congressman from Kansas, delivered in Richmond last evening, sustaining the President's policy and censuring the Radicals. The Governors of the British Provinces are holding council in Montreal. Editorial Correspondence. GALVESTON, March 5th, 1866. The steamship Austin came in yesterday about 12 M. I did not telegraph any items of news, as I thought is probable that the same had been received overland. The only matter of much interest will be seen to be the statement that "the entire Cabinet as a unit" in support of the President's action This statement is said to be on the highest authority, and if so, we may conclude that the Radicals are at last defeated But I have some fears that this unanimous support by the cabinet is based on some compromise, that may amount to a partial triumph of radical principles. The speech of Mr. Breber is the most important documents in the papers of the 21 inst. Among the passengers by the Austin, you will notice the name of our old fellow-citizen Mr. C. W. Adams. Many of his former friends will be glad to greet him. Our city has been very quiet for the past few days, owing no doubt to the prudent and judicious measures taken by Geo. Wright. It is fortunate for us to have a commander who is uninfluenced by the prevailing fanaticism of the day. This day we have an election of city officers. There are but six new Aldermen to be elected. I am glad to learn that all the old Board are in favor of such a compromise of the question in litigation with the City company, and I trust the new Aldermen will also favor a speedy compromise. The rights of property, amounting to some millions (even at present valuation.) once settled, and our city will enter upon a career of improvement herebefore entirely unprecedented. Capt. Scudder, our City Assessor and Collector, has now nearly closed up his labors for the present. As I have before stated the assessment of merchandise show that over three millions have been imported here since this port was opened, which is five or six times as much as was ever before imported in any year. W. R. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.——Gold has declined 1-2 per cent. since our last, owing to the downward tendency of the New York market, and to the heavy excess of the supply over the demand in this market. Sales were light yesterday, and the market closed flat, at 135a 1351 2, against 1351-2a136 on the previous evening. In silver the movement was restricted to $2500 American coin, at 130a132; Mexican dollars are held at 135a136. Cotton——The movement yesterday accounted to 3277 bales. The market was very quiet and inactive during the morning, as all parties were awaiting later Uuropean advices; but on receipt of the foreign news a very lively business transpired, as the intelligence from the other side, though not very satisfactory, was still less discouraging than had been generally apprehended. Quotations have gradually inclined to our outside figures from the opening of the week, and yesterday culminated in an advance of fully one cent per pound upon all classifications. The closing figures last evening, were, 37a40c. for ordinary, 41a42c,for good ordinary; 43a44c. for low middling; and 46c. for middling.——N.O. Crescent. The Galveston City Company have lately had an election of officers. The following are the Directors and officers: Directors——E.B Nichols, H. De St. Gyr, W. H. Goddard, J. Sleight, J. L. Darragh. Officers——J.L. Darragh, President; J. P. Cole, Secretary. BUSINESS NOTICES. See auction advertisement of S. L. Hohenthal & Co. Sale Commences at 9 1/2 o'clock,A.M., to-day, at their sales rooms, Main street. The favorite passenger steamship Saragossa. will leave Galveston for New York on Friday next. See advertisement in another color of to-day's paper. The Messrs. Sydnor, auctioneers, advertise to sell staple and fancy dry goods, groceries etc. Sale commences at 10 A.M. to-day The fine passenger steamer Austin leaves for New Orleans on Thursday, at 4 P.M. We call attention to the large and well selected consignments of staple and fancy dry goods, just received and to be closed out at quick sales and small profits by A. Sessums, Esq. We have received from Mr. Elka, a bottle of "Heimstreet's Celebrated Hair Restorative." The testimonials of its efficacy in restoring hair to a dark color, are so strong and numerous that they seem to make any additional evidence quite superfluous Still, we shall add our testimony to that of so many others as soon as we have been sufficiently rejuvenated by the use of this bottle, of which we cannot entertain the least doubt. Meanwhile, we commend to all to give it a trial by calling on our friend Eika. MR. EDITOR: I have just made a visit to Galveston, and was particularly struck with that splendid dry goods store of Arnold & Bro., in the four-story iron-front building on Market street. That establishment is scarcely surpassed in attractiveness by any in Broadway, New York. No one can pass it without being arrested, especially after dark, by its splendid show-windows and brilliant gas-lights. It seems to be the general resort of the ladies. The Messrs. Arnold are constantly in the receipt of heavy invoices, but they seem to go off almost as fast as received. They showed me their "wholesale department" in the second story, which is filled with tables loaded down with solid piles of spring and summer goods of every description, and the employees of the store were busily engaged in opening more boxes and bales that had just arrived, while others were packing up other boxes with goods that had just been sold to be sent to different parts of the State. Those visiting Galveston should not fail to call on the Arnolds, whether they wish to buy or not. All are politely received, and, if I may judge from such goods as I priced, they will fill ordinary orders quite as low as they can be filled in New York. Z. Administrator's Notice.

He succeeded in making arrangements for the purchase of machinery for the dredge boat which is being built by the city for permanent use in Buffalo Bayou. He also informs us that he examined the police system of the Crescent City - was initiated into its secret and complex workings, and proposes to introduce some improvements in our City Police, which will greatly tend towards the suppression of depredations and the discomfiture of "the thugs" and other characters who roam at night, because "their deeds are evil." Our friend, Julles Alber, at the Rusk House, has just received a large lot of fine Havana cigars, equal, or superior to, any to be found in this city. "The coat does not make the man," still every gentleman wishes to make a decent appearance before the world. We know of no better way of doing so than to call on our good friends, Messrs. Ackerman and Neurath, Main street, Houston, and get them to make up a suit in their usual elegant, fashionable style. Thy have just received a large assortment of spring and summer goods which, on examination, we pronounce superior to anything we have lately seen. We had work done in their establishment to our entire satisfaction, and we are considered rather fastidious in our taste. It is with pleasure that we recommend them to our friends. Illness last week prevented us from devoting much attention to the local column, which will explain to our readers the cause of any shortcomings which they may have observed. The kindness we met with, however, almost reconciles one to the inconvenience and suffering to which "flesh is heir." A lady in Culpeper, Va., recently gave birth to three bouncing boys, which have been christened respectively——Lee, Jackson, and Hill.——Ex. Congress is bothering itself and spending the people's money trying to regulate the labor system in the South. The New York Record very sensibly says that if Congress would adjourn and go home, it is probable the Southern labor question would soon resolve itself. A good many people will regret to hear that Gov. Brownlow came very near being killed lately by the car jumping off the track near Knoxville.——Exchange. Yes, regret to learn that he escaped; but the devil takes care of his own. Woman is like ivy——the more you are ruined the closer she will cling to you. A sour old batchelor friend of ours says the above is altogether a mistake——that it is reversed and ought to red, "Ivy is like woman——the more she clings to you the more you are ruined." He ought to pass down life's journey without woman's smiles to sober him; die among strangers with nobody but a buck negro——hotel stupid Joe——to close his eyes, and shake his hands at the banks of Jordan. A True Friend.——Thou mayest be sure that he, that will be private tell thee of thy faults, is thy friend, for he adventures thy dislike, and doth hazard thy hatred; for there are few men that can endure it, every man delighting in self-praise which is one of the most universal follies that bewitcheth mankind.——Sir Walter Raleigh. Nothing truer was ever written that the above. Be suspicious of him who ever meets you with a smile and a compliment. Give us the welcome beaming from the eye, the hearty grasp of the hand, the careless nod of recognition, the whispered chiding for fault or indiscretion. Such an one wear in your heart like a jewel - bind him to your soul "with hooks of steel," for in the hour of trouble or danger he "will stay with you." We notice among the marriages of San Antonio, that Col. Atkinson, of the 4th Michigan Infantry, to Miss Lydia Lyons. Gallant Colonel! He not only helped to sudue the Confederacy, but has undertaken to tame "the line" of the South. Last Sunday evening "two ladies of color engaged in the amusement of a pugilistic rencountre on the public streets. We suppose Dinah and Somunas quarrelled about their "lubyors," and their mewly acquired liberty were only carrying out the instincts of the "culled" persuasion. They were not arrested and their injured "feelinks" will be spared the pain of a public examination. "Sloh is life." A STRANGE WAGER——Two young ladies made a wager the other day. One bets the other a bottle of champaigne that "a goose is white and a gander is grey," while the other bets that they are the same color. They have referred the matter to us for decision. We are not well posted in goose-ology or gander-stronomy, but we are inclined to think that Argue the question as you may, "The goose is white, the gander gray-" The reason why, we've been told: (Though it may be, we've been sold,) Gooseship gadding in sun and rain, Wash'd pure and white of barn-yard stain; Poor old gander, by family cares, Had plumage silvered——call it grey hairs! The matter's settled, as you see, Save a glass for the referee. HOTEL ARRIVALS——HOUSTON. RUSK HOUSE——R.O. Love, Proprietor.
