WASHINGTON, April 12.-Thc postoihee building has been lighted by gas generated on the premises, and JAMES A. KENNEDY, Treasurer and Superin? tendent, A. H. DOUBLEDAY and L. B. MOSES, clerks, went to the basement to remedy some gas diffi? culty. They carried a candle with them and a *c rifle explosion occurred. MOSES will die, and ihe others are seriously but not fatally hurt. The Supreme Court has been densely crowded. Two motions have precedence, and it is considered doubtful whether tho complaints bo reached to? day. ? Only an extra eiipense was incurred in making the Russian Treaty. There was a dispatch of in? quiry sent to Gen. HALLECK at San Francisco, and he replied that from five to ten million dollars would be a reasonable price. The President's health has greatly unproved, f; and he-has attended a Cabinet-meeting. The Maryland returns give 7000 majority for calling a Stete Convention.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-In the Supr?me Court, Ii. on motion to file -tho Mississippi Bill, the Chief [ Justice said that a motion to file a BUI was usually granted as a matter of course, but if, as was sug? gested, tho Bill contains matter scandalous or un? fit to come before the Court, tho Court examines it, or r?fers it to a master. - lit; tins. case the At? torney-General obj ects ito ihe 'BRI: as containing j matter unfit to" bring - before th o Court. That is the only point tlia icannow- bo -considered. "Upon that point the Court wiU first hear the Attornoy General. Mr. O'CONNOR aanounced-bimseif and associates in attendance, should it bo decided to argue both Bills. The Attorney-General sad tho Georgia Bill lacked the point bi which he proposed to' oppose the filing 01 the Mississippi BUL Tho Mississippi Bill was in a legal sense scandalous, as it proposed to make the President a defendant before the Court. Mr. SHARKEY seid he had amended the Bill BO as to proceed against tho President as a citizen of Tennessee. Attorney-General STANSBURY read portions of the Bill, claiming that it was manifestly against the President as President. He. alluded to a pro? cess somewhat similar.used against Mr. JEFFER? SON. In the BOD trial, Mr. JEFFERSON did not obey, or even notice the process. As an officer, he should advise tho President to disregard the sub? poena, and traced the result should the Court re? sist and the President remain firm. Thc Court, to maintain its dignity, would have to imprison tho President for contempt. Ho maintained that, equally with the Kings of England, the President was exempt from proceedings of this kind. He could only be brought before the Bar of the Senate af tor impeachment. The Courts could punish him for acts committed while President, but he was beyond their jurisdic? tion while occupying that chair. He also main? tained that tho action was Against the United States Government as much so as if that Govern? ment were named. He announced that he appear? ed at the request of the President, who, when the Bills were passed over his veto, there was but one duty, in his estimation, resting upon lum-that was, faithfully to carry out and execute those laws. R. J. WALKER followed, and the Court took the matter under advisement. Marine Intelligence. PHILADELPHIA, April 12.- -Arrived, tho Stars and Stripes, from Havana.

[FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPOKDWr.] NEW YORK, April 10_lu my letter of the 3d inst. I made an allusion to the unprecedented rise in rents here, and the extreme difficulty in pro? curing eligible unfurnished houses, except at the most unreasonably exorbitant figures. It had been confidently hoped and .expected that as the month of April advanced, and the first of May the great moving day -grew nearer and nearer at hand, the landlords, fearful of having their houses left untenanted, would yield gracefully, and lower their high notions and high rents at tho same time; but fifo is made up of disappointments and miscalculations, and these are of them; for the evil is unabated, and the house-rent panic (I mean panic among the pay-rental class) grows with its growth. In yesterday's Herald an advertisement appeared of a desirable house to rent, in a good location, Thirty-Sixth street, near Sixth avenue, price only $1200; and applicants therefor were in? vited to call at the residence of tho advertiser, between the hours of 9 and ll in the morning. I fear your readers may suspect me of exaggeration when I assure them that this little notice created more excitement among certain classes here than would havo boen produced by the announcement that the Supreme Court had given a decision against tho constitutionality of the Reconstruction Act. I can only say in reply that tho circum? stance I am about to relate is founded strictly on j fact, and will leavo the facts to speak for them? selves. At tho appointed hour MOULTRIE Found himself at the scene of action, having gono therei not officially as your correspondent, but yet effici- j ally in anothor capacity, viz : That of a house seeker, acting in behalf of an about-to-be house? less friend. If the man had advertised to give ont gold in exchange for ex-Confederate currency, the house could not have boon more crowded with eager applicants ; the parlor was filled with ladies, the passage-way was crowded-there was~a perfect jam outside and around tho entrance, -ind, in fact, it waa almost impossible to get inside thc honse. MOULTRIE, however, wedged his way in-to see the fun. At nine o'clock the gentleman made his ap? pearance, like a Mayor at his court, and announced that he would first give an . audience to the lady, who he had been informed by his servant j (who wore white gloves) had been waiting patiently sinoe seven o'wock. Tho patient lady was received Lu a "oom adjoining the crowded parlor, then an n her lady, then another still, each one marching ip in a post office style. The crowd, however, grew impatient'and made a rush for the private room; whereupon the gentleman came forward like a can? didate for a public office and addressed them all collectively. He began by stating that the honse has no yard, whereupon about a dozen of the ladies were seen to disappear suddenly. Next ho stated that some ?f tho rooms were rather small, then added in a kind of parenthetc style, that there was a mistake in tho advertisement as to the exact locality in which the house is situated, and concluded his address by remarking that he re? gretted to Btate that better-half being indisposed he himself was indisposed to show the house to each or any of the assembled multitude' till 6ome time next week. To describe the scene that en? sued at tho termination of this oration is almost impossible. Noses wero turned so contemptuously (some of,.thorn tantalizingly pretty noses) that they seemed determined to remain up like the renta.: A rush was made for the door, your cor? respondent being the first one out, and the house waa soon vacated by those who will have to VJ cate their own houses before tho first of May, or stand the raise in their rents and accept the situation that they cannot better-except by taking a house in an up-town situation, and moving up to some point between 80th and 130th streets, tho terminus of Third ? venue Railroad, and a ride of one hour and twenty minutes from the City Hall Park. Some little exe i tentent has been cr it ed here by the arrival of ?w Great Eastern ; not, howover. from any desire to see the big -nip, io* the gene? ral curiosity ba? been gratified on thut point on two occasions .in 1860and 1662), bul because many bad feared that bhe Nd ?one to bottom, as st* I crossed tho ocean in quite a leisurely and^dig?i-J fled style, taking fourteen diys from port to port>L The Great Eastern may be-in fact-is-the largeet I and handsomest ateomship.afloat, yet, should I over have occasion to go across the water, uncoupled, j with a desire to go under, I would prefer embark-ii, Lng in a smaller craft. I have hitherto purposely avoided any allusion to the outrageous crusade against a class of people whom, spite of religious (or rather irreligious) pre? judice, we cannot but respect,by such of tholnsur mcQ Compauios aa claim to have suffered by taking what they are pleased to c-il? "Jew risks;" but as I the excitement has been rosumed, and as there are no less than sixty thousand israelites hero who protest against tho base calumny, my duty as a correspondent induces me at least to give the facts as thoy are. A card has been publishod in the Herald, which, it is supposed, emanates from ! ane of the Insurance Agenta, reiterating the ; charges and attempting to substantiate th0 truth (?) thereof; wherefore, an indignation meet? ing is to be held on Monday next, in which many : of the wealthiest and most respectable Jewish merchants and capitalists will take part. No less than sixty of the largest and oldest Insurance Companies in.the United States have made state? ments giving the he unqualified and direct to these ridiculous charges; but, nevertheless, the lie bas taken root in all directions, proving that though truth be mighty il will not always prevail, and that the seeds of falsehood, planted in the soil of pre? judice, and watered by the hand of ignorance, will spring up with a groodly crop (or a badly crop) of lies. AUGUST BELMONT'S gallery of paintings-per? haps the finest privato collection in this city-will bo thrown open in a-few days for public inspec? tion, the price of admittance being placed at ono dollar, the proceeds to bo handed over to tho Ladies' Southern Relief Fund. A. T. STEWART'S dry goods establishment on Broadway, at the corner of Tenth street, is to bc enlarged to about six times its prcsont size. It will extend through to Fourth avenue, and will cover an area of an acre and a quarter of ground. In ono of my letters published several months ago, I gavo an account of a now invention, a mag? netic fight, with such brilliancy as to admit of one's reading ordinary print at a distance of a quarter of a mile fir ->*the light, and I predicted that it would soon .mc into general use herc. My prediction will probably soon ?)a verified, as the thing has been thoroughly tested and found to bo all that is claimed for it. The Ugld is so in teytse thal it mil fuse a piece of melatheld at a dis? tance of ftfly yard? therefrom, and for photograph purposes it is superior to the light of tho sun itself. Tho Charleston c?rrese ondont of thc Herald in fonnr its readers that South Carolinians are not. only repentant, but that if the Radical party "would act generously, modify the iron-clad oath,-' &c, that all who have been bad boys will not only be good boya to Uncle Sam, but will throw their Northern Democratic friends overboard, and that " the Radical party will carry South Carolina almost unanimously for their candidate for the next Presidency." The correspondent does not give this opinion as his own exactly, but tells us that it is the opinion of "many." South Carolina unanimous for a Radical candidate ! ! O t?mpora, O nwres ! ! MOULTRIE. TUF I IOHT IN TUE RICHMOND CUSTOM HOUSE. The Herald's Richmond correspondent gives tho following account of the rough and tumble between the Hon. Mr. Sogar and the Collector of this port, in the Custom House the other day : The variations of the day's amusement com? menced with an interesting checking match be? tween tho Hon. Joseph Segar and Mr. James, the Collector in Richmond, which was brought about by a demand on tho part of the former for certain over-assessed monies belonging to citizens, which had been ordered to bo refunded by the Secretary of tho Treasury. Mi. Segar, representing tbeso parties, presented a power o" attorney to Mr. James, consisting of claims of sixty-six persons, amounting to some $4000 and demanded payment. Mr. James examined the paper, made some objection, and not only re? fused to pay, but by a flank movement subsequent? ly obtained possession of the paper and secreted ii upr.. his perron. Segar, seeing he could not get tho money, demanded tho paper, but without suc? cess, when lu seized James by the collar and shook him violently. James still obstinately re? fused to give up the paper, when Sogar, releasing hold of his collar, seized him by tho throat, and for a time there was a possibUity of the department being minus a collector, when a third partv inter? posed in tho person of a Mr. Smith, who separated the belligerents andpledgod himself for tho return of the document. Upon this assurance Mr. Segar returned to his hotel, but up to thc present timo the document has not been returned. THE COLORED SCHOOLS OF CHARLES. TOW. The negro has been emancipated from slavery ; been endowed with civil rights by Congress and tho Legislature of the State ; and moro recently still ho has had the greatest boon of a freeman conferred upon him-a right to a voice in tue af? fairs of the State and nation. In order to a proper and salutary exercise of these newly acquired pri? vileges, it is all important that his actions should be directed by intelligence. Owing to circumstan? ces over which he had no control, the negro to-day is ignorant and uneducated. He sees the white man around him occupy a social position superior to his own. and he naturally ascribes it to the fact of the greater advantages ol education he has en? joyed. Accordingly-we find,-throughout'the South, wherever the negroes have become thoroughly alive to their newly acquired political importance, a groat, almost universal desire for "education." Of course, their ideas on the subject are vague, and not unfrequently, exroneous. They expect impossi? bilities. They have not yet learned that silk purses cannot be made out of every kind of material. Tims we not unfrequently see great, uncouth, unclean girls, eighteen and twenty years old, as far as age can be judged from looks,-the vory beau ideal of an old-style plantation hand, sitting unhappily on a hard bench in tho school room, thumbing, soil? ing and dog-earing an unfortunate "WEBSTER'S spelling book; learning nothing, and certainly not enjoying their idleness; for being shut up for hours i in a hot and crowded school room? and sitting on a hard and narrow bench, is no fun, oven to a ne- ? gro, who had been accustomed to regular work in : tho open air. This class of students, as a general ; thing, do not remain long at school; their mo- i thers soon becoming weary of maintaining them in idleness, while they themselves are engaged in j hard work, and, unless the scholar shows a special ; aptness for "book learning," and is likely to "take an education," the attempt is soon abandoned. ! This, of course, has reference more especially to . those born on the plantations, who have emigrated : to the city within tho past two years. . j There are two large schools here, devoted to the furtherance of the cause of education among the colored people of the city. One, the SAXTON School, is in the Military Hall, in Went- j worth street, the same which last year occupied tho ; Normal Scho?l building in St. Philip street, in charge of Rev. F. L. CABDOZO. The other, in charge of Mr. ABTHUB SUMNER, is in the Morris Street School building. The latter being the older . of the two, we shall Bpeak of it first. The Morris Street School, ?built by tho Board of Commissioners of Free Schools of this city, a few years before the war, was opened for the reception of colored children in March, 18G5. Thero are about 850 names on the rolls, average attendance i being 607, or. 77 per centum. Tho Principal of this School is aided in his labors by 16..assistants, 13 of whom aro white and 3 "colored ; 5 ol' tho teachers ; are from the North. /The number enrolled for I March was' 788-455: girls and .as^boys. Thero were in March 48 over 16 years' ot age. $73 50 was received during tho .month from the pupils toward j tho support of the SchooL Surprising is that while wo find 154 in the Third*'Reader and 53 in the Fourth National- Bea4e^? ghe number in ! Grammar is 0! Yet we find the School graded into Intermediate and Grammar Classes. "As a general thing," says Mr. SUMNER, in a rer ': cent letter published in the Boston Jranscripl, \ "all that these children know of the aforesaid parts of science has been acquired since the 14th 1 of March, 1865. Those who have attended con- ! stantly have had twonty months of schooling. \\ But they range aU thc way down to ono month. I ll behove that most of the very best scholars could 1 read a little (some of them pretty well) when 'the '] Union came in.' But very many who aro now in the Third, and Borne who are in the 4th Reader, did net know tueir letters afear ago. Of Arithmetic, ? Writing and Geography,-they were, almost with? out exception, totally ignorant." We have recently visited this school, and can j, testify to the proficiency of some of tho pupils in ? reading, mental arithmetic, and even in writing. ; i Grammar, it appears, is not studied, and j Geography very little, because these studies are [3 hot considered necessary to the greater number of ; ? tie ming i jdmen. We said some of the pupils jj read*well; this we must qualify, however. They [j have beeh^pretty well drillod in the rules ; onun- ; i ciatr distinctly, and re:-d with some expression, or 1 what must be conside- ed its semblance ; for real' ? j expression there'can bo-none,! wheh tho reader does not understand the subject ho is reading ' about ; and this, with scarcely a single exception, .! is the case with al) the best readers even we found j t in our visits to both the colored schools. It may li be we expect impossibilities, and look for '.. sprightliness and general intelligence, where, from , tho nature of the caso, they cannot, at least for ; some years, be reasonably expected. . : ! Tho "Saxton,School," now at the Military Hall, I, was established October 1, 1365, in the Normal h School Building : Rev. F. L. CABDOZO. Principal, assisted by a corps of twenty teachers,, ten of J whom were colored natives-seven females and , three males-the other ten whito female teachers ; from the North. During the term cf 1865-'66 ? thero wero ono thousand scholars on the rolls. The school was graded into three departments-oftor the system prevailing in tho common schools through? out the North-Primary, Intermediate and Giam mar. There was a further division of the scholars . into twonty classes-two in the Grammar Depart? ment, six in the Intermediate, and twelve in the < Primary. Tho present term commenced on tho first of October, 18CC, and will close on tho UOth of [ June. The Principal is assisted this term by four? teen teachers-eight of whom aro colored natives, : six females and two males, and six white females from tho North. There are eight hundred and fifty pupils registered this term, divided into four- : teen classes, two in the Grammar, six in the Inter? mediate and six in tho Primary Department. The books are purchased direct from the pub? lishers, and tho scholars pay for them when they ; arc able, and when too poor to pay, thoy receive ? them gratis. Tho average attendance during the first term was about 84 per cont.; and during the present term, thus far, it has been about 75 per cent. The proportion of freedmen to those who wore free beforo tho war, among tho scholars of this school, is about three to one. Tho number of those of pure African deseen? and of mixed blood is about equal. All the scholars, we aro informed by the Principal, are making most creditable pro? gress ; though wo must confess, in all candor, that this is not very obvious. Still it may bo so, as Inc Principal has better means for judging than an occasional visitor can possibly havo. Three of thc most advanced boys have been sent to Oberlin Col lego, in Ohio, wo belie fo, to receive a collegiate education, tho expense being defrayed by three Northern gentlemen. The school is supported by tho American Mis? sionary Association of New York. Thc cost of each scholar is about one dollar per month, of which amount nearly one-eighth is contributed hy? the scholars. Wc are requested to Btale that visitors are welcomed to this school at all times; and that there will be a public examination of the school in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Went? worth street, opposito the Military Hall, on Thurs? day afternoon next, the 18th inst., commencing at three o'clock. The singing is very good in ail these schools; sometimes perhaps a little too loud; but that is easily coirected. Thero are two points, howover, to which wo reluctantly call attention, in which it seems to us these schools do not show lo tho same advantage this year as they did twelve months ago. The children as a rule are neither clean nor tidy. True, in the condition of lite, to which most of them bolong, it cannot be expected that they should be finely dressed, wear their Sunday clothes every day, or come with elaborate toilets; but it is within the power ot every good teacher to have his or her children come to school neat and clean. Wo do not like to say what will be unpleasant either to the teachers or to thc parents; but cleanliness is tho first lesson in education, as there can bc no self-respect without it; and, therefore, no healthy ambition. Tho other fault wo rind, and it i^ akiu to the first, is that the deportment of the children in the class-room is not what we had expected. There is more listlessness than wo saw on our visits last year; it may he because the charm of novelty has passed away; confinement becomes irksome, and going to school begins to look too much like work; or it may ho lhat the teachers, weary of stemming thc current, have relaxed their vigilance or abated their energy; and succumbed to the irresistible for?a cf old negro habits. The task of these teachers is a hard and thankless one; and wo regret exceedingly to bc compelled by truth to say one word that looks liko blame, or that could tend to discourage them in their ardu? ous work. The Moms street School, we should have men? tioned above, is supported hy the New England Freedmen's Union Commission.. Mr. SUMNER, the Principal, in his lotter to the Boston Transcript, gives the i'ollowingTaccount of the progress of his advanced scholars in the art of thinking, and of giving expression to their ideaB ; "In writing, about one-half (little ones and new scholars) aro using slates; tho others are in copy^ books-from book No. 1 to No. 8. The more a? vanced classes write letters and compositions. Their letters, I am forced to confess, are chiefly upon one theme-thc superior, nay, thc adorable qualities of their instructors. One girl lately finish? ed a letter to her teacher thus : 'Goodbye, my dear, loving teacher, you'sweet Little sugar plum.' I saw upon ?he blackboard a day or two ago : 'I love my teacher because she is good, and she loves me because I am good and always does right.'" There are, besides these two largo public schools, several small private colored schools tn this city, which,_however,..we havo not \isiied.... Tile German Treaties. HOW THE PBUSSIAN ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE SOUTHERN STATES WERE BROUGHT ABOUT. A Heidelberg correspondent furnishes the sub? joined particulars relative to the treaties between Prussia and the Southern States: The constitution . of a Southern Confederation was to bo prevented at any cost, as it would have been an obstacle to the projects of Prussia. Ii the Sudbuhd had seen tho light, its oonditions of existence would have been regulated by a Parliament which cwtainly would not. have admitted the Prussian military system,'- but would, on the contrary, have adopted a flan similar to that of tho Swiss 'national militia, nstead of an offensive and defensive alliance with the house of Hohenzollern, it would have pro? nounced for an armed neutrality.- But the most important poiut for Count Bismarck was to have at bis disposal, at any given moment, the military resources of the German States on tho left bank bf tho Main. He, therefoie, lost no time, but pro? filed by the presence at Berlin of the foreign Min? isters of tho Southern States to negotiate not only terms of poacje, but also treaties ot alliance, offen? sive and defensive. Baden had already been*won over ; but, under pain of a check, there was a ne? cessity for gaining Bavaria also, as her adhesion would produce that of Wurtemburg and of tho Grand Duchy of Hesse. A.. ?hat moment there arose all of a sudden those famous demands by France of territorial compensation which have been repeatedly spoken of iu the press, but never in the tribune of the legislative body. According to the Berlin Review, Napoleon UL set up no pretension to encroach on the Prussian territory; he claims Rhenish Bavaria and Rhenish Hesse. If these demands had not obtained the result expected in Paris, they brought an unhoped-for succor to Count Bismarck. "Be? ing communicated," that publication states, "to the Bavarian plenipotentiary, they led to an immediato understanding. Nevertheless, Baron von der Pfortden, who was not ina position to make a display of an alliance between Bavaria and Prussia, remained in office in order to con? ceal by his presence the game from the distrustful glance of Austria, and from the jealous eye of Prance. When tho pear was ripe, that is to say, when the resistanco of Wurtemburg and of the Grand Duchy of Hesse was overcomp in their turn. Baron von dor Pfortden was enabled to retire and give up his poet to the Prince of Hohenlohe. Thia latter person was charged to conduct the affair to a successful conclusion. Ministerial conferences took place at Stutgsrdt. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs and of War for Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Baden and -Hesse-Darmstadt, countersigned the act of Count Bismarck.'.-'Nevertheless, if I am to be heve the information I havo received, the treaties just published do not contain the whole extent of the stipulations. There is still a supplementary article which it has been thought proper to keep ?secret, in order not to be obliged to submit the treaties to the approbation >f the Chambers. The clause in question relates to me organization of an armed force. Count Bismarck does not want mere soldiers; he wishes to have well drilled mon, and he has therefore stipulated that the contingents of the South should bo reorganized on the model of the Prussian army. And LT any differences arose at the conference's, they turned only on a single point, namely, the sort of rifle that ought to be adopted. Demoralization ol' Hay ti. [From, the New York Sun.] The latest nows from Hay ti confirms the pre? viously reported flight of Goftrord to Jamaica, if ter having sent in his resignation of the Presi? dency ol that stonily republic The election of mother President was expected to take place im? mediately arter ' the departure of "Goffrard.- The bistory of Havti since tho negro population ob? tained its freedom has been a series of sanguinary revolutions and civil" wars, and : the country is probably in a worse condition now than ever before. The negro leaders have nevor shown themselves capable of agreeing upon or es? tablishing anything like a sound and sub? stantial government.- Lifo and property have always been exceedingly insecure and tho constant danger of new revolutions has tended to keep tho country in a deplorable condition. H the African race had any capacity for self-gov? ernment they have the best possible opportunities i)f developing these talents in Hayti, where they liavfl had things their-own way for moro than tr ,y years past. The trouble appears to be tbat their own way is a very disorderly and rebellious mi e. They nave gone tack war da in .morals and ? du cition," and have attained proficiency in: none of the arts of civilization except that of wai* and political intrigue. Under their own management their property and. credit havo alike deteriorated in value, and the nation has made itself an object of pity to those who expected better thiogs of the race, and of ridicule to those who understood them better and foresaw the result of the wild ex? periment of negro self-government. The normal condition of tho negro is such that.it is only by constant association with superior races that any? thing like civilization can be imparted to the race. Even after such advantages there is an inevitable tendency to relapsa into barbarity when the ele? vating influence is withdrawn. State Items. PRAISEWORTHY.
