E Washington Affairs.
WAsnisoTOß, Dec. 16,186."..
c people of this city and District are to
have the opportunity next Thursday of ex
pressing their views as to the propriety of giv
ing the right of suffrage to negroes. It has
already been announced that a bill fer this
purpose has passed both branches of the City
Council. It has since received the approval of
Mayor Wallack. Of course there is not the
least probability that the vote will be in favor
of any such privilege to the Africans; and
there is as little that the Radicals in Congress
will pay any respect whatever to the voice of
t be lawful white voters of the District.
It is understood that a bill is to be intro
duced into Congress to repeal the charter of
the city of Washington, and to confide its ad
ministration and police affairs to two Com
missioner*, to be appointed by the National
Executive. The object of this is to deprive
the people of the District of all suffrage, and
thus to get rid of the vexed question of Negro
Suffrage. A very happy riddance. It will
much promote the quiet and order of the good
people of Washington. Politics and elections
are a great trouble to communities!
Apropos of the "dark man"—as Varmount
ers call him—and of Massachusetts; tbe Intel
ligencer ot this morning calls attention to some
recent revelations In regard to negro impress
ments for tho army during the recent waiv
Mr. Lloyd, President of the Board of Alder
men, stated that most of the negroes who weut
from the District into the army "were taken
possession of by men of their own color, and
s*M into the service of the United States,"
and it was added by Mr. Oulick that "many
of them were credited to Massachusetts," that
ever cunning, ever selfish State I The Intelligen
cer boars testimony to the truth of these state"
ments. It says further, " that many of the
soldiers (black) were enrolled in the spring of j
ISS4 tor the Massachusetts colored cavalry, j
For each of these recruits that State paid a j
bounty, of three bunded and twenty-live dol- j
lars, and the towns and cities paid an addi- j
tional bounty of one hundred and fifty to two j
hundred dollars for each recruit." That
truthful journal adds: "It is a fact, sus
ceptible of the clearest proof, that none of
these recruits ever received over three hun
dred dollars. Of the residue of this bounty
they were robbed by Government officials
and Massachusetts agents. * * * Could
the facts connected with these wicked trans
actions be fully spread to the country, it would
awaken a tempest of just indignation, and
cause all good nun ie blush for the heartiest de
pravity if their speciet." No doubt of it!
It is ifndcrstood that Congress is solicited by
influential citizens to purchase the ground on
tho north side of the city known as the
Washington J. Berry property, for the pur
pose of erecting thereupon a mansion for the
President, with a magnificent park attached.
The ground has an area of between three and
four hundred acres. The property is adver
tised for sale on the 21st instant, nnd hence
/the spur Is used to hasten up CJon gross to the
rescue. It is very plain that tho tolerably
spacious and moderately presentable mansion
of the National Executive is much below the
grandeur of the Federal Government in Its
enlarged and overshadowing sphere; and
whether the Washington J. Berry property
bo purchased or not, a more gorgeous palace
Will have to be awarded to the Chief Magis
trate. What would answer for other days
w ill not do for these. The Department at the j
western end of Pennsylvania avenue must j
have equal consideration with that at the j
eastern end. If Congress deliberates in super
splendid marble halls, the high officer who
holds the veto power over its acts, and is chief
of a co-ordinate branch of the Government,
must have the equal honors of lavish expend
itures upon the finest edifices that the genius
of architecture can conceive. This is but
right. Congress has no right to appropriate
all the money for building purposes to its ele
gant ease and convenience.
Washington is full of beggars. Richmond I
can hardly be fuller. The recent war may
have thrown upon her more in proportion to
her population ; but it also threw upon Wash
ington a vast number. It is supposed that
forty thousand blacks are how within her lim
its, three-fourths of whom were slaves at the
be*f tuning of the war. There will be immense
suffering among them this winter.

New Yoek, Dec. 16, 1865.
The Fenians and their troubles still seem to
absorb much public attention here. At the
Hall of Tara yesterday, the officers of the va
rious departments were busily engaged in mat
ters pertaining to the organisation.
The arrival of General Mullen, the head of
the Military Department in Ireland, has ex
cited much interest and curiosity as to his po
sition as regards the present causes of misun- j
demanding bet ween their Fenian leaders. The
chief difference is said to lie in the opposition
Da views with regard to a proposed early move
upon the "enemy's works." It Is supposed
that the military chieftain of Ireland, with
t*he views from either side before him, will take
sides with President O. Mahoney; for the
present, at all events.
The appearance of their Secretary of War
before the Senate yesterday, his speech there,
ana his interview with the military delegation
of nine, who have just arrived from Ireland,
are said to have excited much enthusiasm in
favor of his plans for Immediate aad decided
action.
On the other hand, many resolutions of en
dorsement of President O'Mahoney's policy
are passed by different circles.
Upon the whole, the breach is apparently
widening, and should the early contemplated
move he attempted, the general opinion seems
to he that it will terminate la a complete abor-
The courts of the city present to the world a
frightful record of crime and vice. The testl
aaoay in each case discloses fresh crimes. The
tvhU of Ward for the murder of officer Walker
Is In progress now.
The Italian opera, under charge of Max
Maretsek, Is about to close for the season. The
•losing performance, with the exception of the
matinee for this morning, took place last eve
ning. During the evening a handsome tribute
was paid to the manager by way of a congra
tulatory letter from some of the most promi
nent citixens of the metropolis.
