" A caucus of Repnbhcaneiiai- held on the 9th, to consider the subject of the troubles in Arkansas and Louisiana, but adjourned without coming to any conclusion. In regard to Arkansas, only a few Senators, it is stated, expressed themselves in favor of intervention, and even these were not agreed as to the exact form of movement. Others were disposed to postpone action, as the present condition of the State did not justify any congressional measures, all accounts representing the people generally to be -satisfied with the present government, with no cause for violent disturbance. With reference to Louisiana, several Senators said it would be found on examination that the government in one or two of the other Southern States had no more legal existence than that of that State, and, therefore, there should be an investigation . concerning all of them in order to establish their validity. i : : ' . . - r -P 't i Thb trial of Count Von Arnim began at Berlin on the 9th. The, Judge, an nounced that the trial would be public, except as to the reading of public docu ments relative to the ecclesiastical policy of the Government. The indictment ac cuses the Count of dereliction In his official duty, and says that when Prince Hohen-lohe succeeded to the embassy at Paris, he found after a strict search that a large number of documents were missing from the archives. These documents the indictment divides into three categories : 1. Those which Count Van Arnim confesses having abstracted and afterwards restored. 2. Those which the Count acknowledged having taken,' but which, regarding as his private property, he refuses to restore. 3. Those which he professes to' have no knowledge of. The indictment proceeds to prove the official, character of all the documents. After the reading of the indictment, the prisoner was exa inin.nl and declared he was not guilty, after which the examination of witnesses was begun. Tub libel suit of Miss Proctor against Mr. Moulton, growing out of theBeecher-Tilton scandaU was called in the United States Court at New York, -before J udge Woodruff", on . the tb. " By mutual con sent the case was referred to Benjamin D. "Silliman as referee, and settled accordinir to the following agreement,; entered into by both parties : Miss - Procf or 'should come forward and testify that Moulton's allegations, as to her illicit connection with Beecher, were . in , every : respect . false. Moultonjiimself -should take an affidavit that he knows of his own knowledge notic ing whatever against Miss Proctor's char acter "and that the libel to which he gave utterance was based wholly upon hearsay. Moulton should also make an apology, to Miss xToctor, and pay ail the costs incur- redoh:b6fh::sides, thus far in the -suit, amounting to over $5,000. That in con sideration of the 'foregoing; Miss Proctor would " .claim': no pecuniary damages against Moulton,' but would -test satisfied with"the vindication of her character. The referee made a- report in consonance , with these conditions, and thus , ended the suit. .Thb final canvass of the vote. east at the recent election in Missouri shows a majori ty of 583 in favCr. of the Constitutional Convention.- - ; ' TTTjHK gupreme Court.of the Distriet of Colnmbia having deciarea . the - recent Grand Jury, before whom the safe burg- lary cases were-tried, to have been illegal ly constituted,' a nolle prosequi 'has'1 been entered in these case and" ChebsilQf the defendants, Ilarrli gton, . -Whitley, and IflUUUUB, uwuuiujtcu.

It Is understood that the authorities of both Governments are quite favorably im pressed with this proposition as a means of settlement of the vexatious questions that have arisen from lawlessness en the RioGfande.

SERIOUS COLLISION BETWEEN THE WHITES AND BLACKS A NUMBER OF NEGROES KILLED AND WOUNDED. There was intense excitement in Vicks burg, Miss.', on the morning of the 7ih, caused by the intelligence that large bodies of armed negroes lrom . the surrounding country were marching on the city, for the purpose of rescuing the ne gro Sheriff of the county, Peter Crosby, who was held as a prisoner in the Courthouse. Public business of all kinds was suspended, and the white citizens marched out by various routes to meet the invaders. A number of engagements en sued, resulting in the repulse of the ne groes at all points, with a loss of some twenty or thirty killed and a large num ber wounded. Many were also taken pri soners. Only one white man was killed. The origin of the trouble is stated . in an Associated Press dispatch to be substan tially as follows : There has been for some time trouble brewing between the Taxpayers' Association, and citizens and the county officials. The Sheriff was acting without legal bond, and the Board of Supervisors refused to order a new one, though the time for paying .taxes had arrived. ..Two or three other officials were under indictment for forgery ana embezzlement, and the citizens, despairing of re lief from the courts, last Wednesday held a meet lng and in a body proceeded V the Conrt-house to demand the resignation of the Sheriff, Chancery Clerk, Treasurer and Coroner. " An fled except Sheriff Crosby, negro, and be signed his resignation. Saturday a card appeared on the streets, purporting to be signed by Crosby, calling on all the citizens of Warren county, republicans, white and black, to come' to his aid, and support him in his position. Crosby denies, however, that he issued or signed the order which Instigated the uprising of the negroes- :: ,; v.." There was no further fighting at Vicksburg on the 8th, although the ex citement continued, with little abatement. The whites had complete control of the city; and the militia generally were under arms. ' Crosby had tendered his resigna tion as Sheriff, and placed it in the hands of a committee. ' 1 Reports were telegraphed on the 9th, of another serious encounter between the whites and blacks at' Snyder's Bluff, ten miles from Vicksburg, on the evening previous, in which three negroes and one white-man were killed. -Aa - effort- was made duriiurtbejiight to hang, the .color ed Sheriff, Crosby, who Is, a prisoner, but It was prevented ny a strong guaru uuv, Ames issued a;proclamadonv dated at Jackson, setting forth" 'then--,"Jact of the' "riot at Vicksburg.' stat ing- 'that ' the I ( Vloters ' had by threats, and Intlmidaudn; expelled ,the Sheriff of Warren' County, and were resisting the laws, etc., and commanding the rioters to disperse.- He -also issued a call for an extra session of the Legislature forThursday, the 17th, to take some action j on the situation. The Mayor of the cltyJ upon receipt of the Governor's proclanys tion, issued : a : counterproclamatioiffTie- j nvlncr that there had .been any ri otous f'proceedhurs In- , the t ; city ; al leging that the citizens' meeting had been ouiet and orderly; and that no -threats or violence were, used to. induce the Sheriff, to thefdftow . M resign ; and he called upon all citizens to hold themselves in. readiness to aid him In preserving the peace and sustaining the law; - A protest, indorsed, it was chimed, by every .white mn. in the State not an office-holder, . declaring . the statement made in the Governor's proclamation to-be false and based upon the ex-parte statements of partisan office-holders, was also published. -, - , v, , , , . , -The situation at Vicksburg on the 10th was represented as follows in an Associated Press dispatch of that date : - - " The war is over. AH is quiet. The Board of Supervisora to-day appointed a committee to bury the, dead, bodies. Twenty-eight negroes have ,been Interred ; inahy others are yet to be buried.. Several, companies have been organized, to serve under militia officers, but will probably not be needed. The scouts report all quiet in the country,' and the negroes who were massing tc come here from Hinds County dispersed The Board of Supervisors have ordered an elec tion to fill the vacancies for Sheriff, Circuit Conrt Clerk, two Justices, and two Con stables. - The absconding' Chancery Clerk will be ordered to come home, make a bond, or the office will be declared vacant, he having: been discovered to be acting without bond, none appearing on record. Most of the stolen bonds and papers proving his guilt have been found. Dorsey, the embezzling Circuit Clerk, was arrested to day and made to go. with a . committee of tax-payers to find the stolen records of his office. , Court-house villainies are still being brought to light, and nearly ' all the county . , officers , implicated. , A strong feeling prevails against the Governor for keeping these men in office and pledging them , the support of bayonets. Crosby, the' colored Sheriff, and leader of the ne groes, is still held, but the other prisoners are released on a promise of good behavior. No violence is offered.

The Secretary recommends the restoration of this tax. The attention of Congress is called to the great denser to the revenue attending ail attempts to modify the penalties which have heretofore existed, and which the Treasury has sought to en force. The Secretary is no believer in the system of moieties , and does not desire their restoration in any shape; but he expresses serious doubts whether any benefit has followed certain modin cations of penalties for the violation of customs rTheSecretarv does not regard the Treasury De partment as a proper place for the adjudication of cotton cases.

It requires no extensive structure, and the labor of securing the crop is comparatively trifling. A house ten feet square and tea feet high is large enough to hold a summer's supply for an ordinary family. It may be built in the roughest manner, and of cheapest materiaL Provide for drainage without admitting air at the bottom, lay rails,tscantling, or any thing of the kind, close together on the ground, fill the spaces between with sawdust, and cover over the rails an inch deep. Cut the blocks oiice'all the same size, so" they will pack nicely. Pack them in closely as possible, leaving a space all around between the ice and the walls of the house of not less than fifteen inches, which must be filled with sawdust will packed. - As the Ice is built up, cavities caused by broken and irregular blocks, should be filled with pounded ice. After the pile is built up eight feet high, cover over the" top with sawdust about a foot deep, and the , work is done. The supply can be made to last much longer by pouring water on the pile after it Is built up, and freezing the whole into a solid mass.' A cold night must be chosen for this work. Bank up earth all around the outside, and pack it well, and the roof should project beyond the banking to prevent washing it away. The house may have a door above and below in the north gable end,;fbr convenience. ' A pond of SOO square feet surface is supply sufficient to fill such a house, and almost any farmer can provide such a pond,, when he :1a distant from natural sources. These are all the directions necessary for building - and filling an ice house, unless you are aristocratic. In that case expend Just as much money on the house as you please; but your ice will keep no better, and will ; not be a whit colder than that taken from the Cheaper house. JL word of caution is necessary to those who are hot accustomed to (akin ice out of a house in the summer, r Be careful to cover up the ice again with the sawdust, and keep, the house . . 94 a- m visit closed. . carelessness win waste mu more than is consumed Ohio.
