TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16,188.5. Governor Bi'tler, of Massachusetts, says: ''That Massachusetts refuses to 104,071 of her male citizens over twenty-one years ofage rightsand privileges guaranteed by the Con stitution of the United States; that her laws disfranchise 3G per cent, of her voting popu lation. and that there are proportionally fewer voters in Massachusetts than in any other State of the I'nion, North or South ex cept 5; that in some parts of Massachusetts there is neither a free ballot nor a fair count, and that a system of sealed ballots is needed to protect the Massachusetts voter from intimidation at the polls." And yet the Massachusetts republicans, the men responsible for the condition of things referrc-d to, assigned as their reason for supporting the repudiators in Virginia the ridiculous assertion that the latter were in favor of a free vote and a fair count. The recent depreciation in the value of Virginia bonds is not surprising in view of the fact that the Chief Justice and three of the other members of the Court which is to decide whether a bill that practically de clares that the coupons of those bonds, which stale upon their face that they are receivable for taxes, and which were ac cepted by the Stale's creditors in settlement of claims with that understanding, shall not be so received, impairs the obligation of a contract, ami is therefore unconstitutional, recently rendered an opinion to the effect that the legal and rightful heirs of Arling ton were not entitled to that estate. The Governor of the State of Massachu setts suys: "That hy :i cavitation tax Massachusetts <lmits free ami equal suffrage to her citizeus, ami i?;ae tieally offers a bounty ot' from one to two ilollurs for neglecting town meetings ami slaying away from the jiolls." And yet the Virginia allies of the men in Massachusetts who impose the tax com plained of, were opposed to a similar tax in their own State, though every cent of it. unlike that in Massachusetts, went to the support of the free schools. Iron ani? stkej. manufactories and coal mines in various parts of the country are either suspending operations or working on half time. And yet these are among the most protected of American industries. It would seem that even a blind man might see that protection does not protect. It will bo seen that General Pendleton, Chief of Artillery of the Army of Northern Virginia, C. S., died at Lexington to-day. A noble Virginian, a learned and able di vine, and a true Christian. FROM WASHINGTON [Special Correspondence of the Alexandria CituteUe.l Washington. I). C., January 1(5,1SS3.?

At the meeting of the special comuiittee of the House to investigate certain charges against fiaiiey the Chief Clerk of the J louse a letter wad read from Mr. Murch, green backer, who introduced the resolution for the investigation stating that he had intro duced it under a misapprehension, and had not proof to sustain the charges. Mr. Klotz who had supported the resolution was pres ent, and was so irritated at'Murch's course that he asked that Murch be subp?*ned to testify. Mr. Keiley and a few Virginia democrats who were in the city, and some of the Virginia delegation in Congress, held a sort of informal conference at the Metropoli tan Hotel here last night, on the subject of the course their party should pursue with regard to a State convention. The bill for t lie benefit of \V. B. Isaacs Co., of Richmond, who bought the claim of the Virginia banks for the money of those banks seized by the Government at the close of the war, was called up in the House yesterday and was defeated. Mr. Oliver, the great protectionist of Pennsylvania, is here to-day trying to have the Senate Finance Committee amend their tariir bill by increasing the tariff. The * House bill has been completed by the Ways and Means Committee and is now in the hands of the printer.

It collected three millions more yesterday morning, but two millions were taken oil' iron before the bill was completed last night. The House Elections Committee to-day Agreed to allow S. I'. Bayly S&00 for the ex pense of contesting the seat in the House held by Mr. J. S. Barbour from the Alexan dria district in Virginia. In the Senate to-day the Ben. Holladv bill was again up, and a motion to settle the claim by paying $100,000 was defeated. The consideration of the tariff bill was then resumed, Mr. Beck moving to amend by re ducing the duty on bichromate of potash to per cent, ad valorem. The post office appropriation bill was re ported in the Senate to-day. This is the last day the President has in which to sign the civil service bill, and up to noon nothing had been heard at the Cap itol of his haviug signed it. Nothimrhasyet been done in the Arling ton case.

States Courts and will probably be occupied with ; it all day. The Southern Associated Ilailroads and Steam ship Companies are holding a meeting at the Met- , repolitan Hotel today.

The meeting is to j make arrangements for pooling freight*, to elect ! a general agent at Atlanta and for other purposes, j An effort will be made to pass a bankrupt bill at this session, ami fur that purpose to take up the Lowell bill as soon as possible. The impression respecting a free bridge across the Potomac at <ieorgetowu, is that no bill for that purpose will be passed at the present session of Congress?there are too many more important bills ahead of it. Col. John Shac Green. A writer iu the Portsmouth Xcir.t, in nar rating some war reminisences, says : ;The danger being past, and being anxious to hear the news about the fight, the writer rode over to rppcrville to get the particulars. We then learned that a Federal regiment of cavalry had been met by a squadron of the Sixth Virginia Cavalry under Lieut. Colon el John Shae. Green of Rappahannock coun ty, and tbat a spirit- 1 engagement had tak en place outsideof I ppervillc on the Paris road. Colonel Grceen, who manied the j sister of the late Tazewell Taylor esq., was an old friend and a connection by mar riage of the writer, who hearing that the Colonel was then in the village and had been wounded, sought him at once and found him at the house of a citizen. He had liis bead banged up and looked quite pale. He had been severely wounded by sabre cuts on j the head, captured and paroled by the Fed erals. He gave the writer some account of I the fight. He had with liini only two com j panies ol his regiment, and seeing about an equal number of the enemy, be ordered and led ;i charge. When within pistol shot of the enemy lie looked around to see that hia command was well in hand, when, to his surprise, he found that lie had not been closely followed by many of his men. It was too late now to retreat. He dashed on with the men he had, hoping to deal the en emy u stunning blow and then retreat if necessary. He was soon hotly engaged in a hand to hand struggle. He had tired ev ery charge of his pistol ^ind was drawing hi* sabre when the blood from the sabre cuts which he had received on his head blinded him, and he was captured. The troops which lie had fought were apart of a regiment <>f New York cavalry, the rest of the regiment being in supporting distance and concealed by u bill. The Federal colo nel was a chivalrous officer, and it gives the writer pleasure to record the evidence of it, which is alike honorable to both command ers. lie ordered his surgeon to dress Col onel Green's wounds, paroled him and de clined to take his arms or his thoroughbred mare, lie admitted too that the best cap tain iu his regiment had fallen in the en gagement. Colonel Green was too modest to tell the writer what he heard from the citizens; the Federal colonel said that he was too brave a man to be deprived of his arms and horse. Colonel Green, who isstill living on hi< farm in Kapahanuock county, is the first cousin of the intrepid Ash by brothers,?General Turner Ashby and Cap tain Richard Ashby, both of whom fell in battle early in the war. The Court of Appeals As noticed in yesterday's Gazkttk, l>y telegraph. I Ik- Court of Appeals, as was ex pected. decided in favor of 3Ir. Jlinton against J inline liurks.and the latter takes lii.s seat. Judge Lacy read the opsnion of the court, from which the President, Judge Lewis, dissented. The Richmond Sloh- says: "When the court was called to order .Judge Lewis said Judge Lacy would read the opinion of the court in the ease. Judge Laev then pro ceeded to deliver his opinion, which was very voluminous anil occupied nearly an hour's time in the reading. The opinion was that Judge Burks was only elect ed fur an unexpired term, and consequent ly that Judge llinton was entitled to his scat. "After Judge Lacy finished his opinion Judge Fauntleroy said he concurred and Judge lviciiard.->on said he concurred, bui that he had prepared his views in writing, though owing t>> indisposition and want of time he had been unable to complete the work. He thought, however, that such was the importance of the question and the gravity of the issues involved that lie felt it due to himself and the members of the Bar that he should deliver orally his views upon this question, lie then spoke upon the question and delivered his opinion in a very animated way, his voice at times Id ling the court-room and being heard outside. During the delivery of Judge Lacy's opinion the crowd was orderly, but when Judge Richardson got well under way several of the lawyers became rather restive and ad journed into the clerk's office adjoining, some to discuss the question over again and others to talk about other matters. When the discussion grew rather noisy Tipstaff Ward had to come in aud request that the conversation be carried ou in a more sub dued tone. He was exactly one hour in de livering iiis opinion. "Judge Lewis then read his opinion, in which he dissented from the views of the Court in this case. His opinion was not so long as the two preceding, lie cited the fact that the United States district attor neys and marshals, when appointed to fill vacancies,were always appointed for the full term of office, and said after a diligent search he had been unable to find anything in the Constitution that warrentcd the as sumption that a judge was elected for an unexpired term. The decision of the court to-day settles the contest between Judges Atkins and Christian for thespat on the Hus tings Court bench, and also settles the term of Judge Aiken, of Danvilie, who shares the fate of Judge.George L. Christian." Medical College.?In the Court of Ap peals yesterday theAttorneyGeneral present ed a petition for a mandamus on behalf of J. F. Lewis and others, members of the new Board of the Richmond Medical College, against the present Board, to compel the suirender to the new Board of the college buildings, Ac. Judge Lewis said that he would not sit in the case (Hon. John F. Lewis, the president of the new Board, being his half-brother J. and he thereupon retired from the bench. Judge Lacy asked Mr. Blair to state his case, and he did so claiming that it was a matter demanding immediate attention. Colonel Guy objected to the proceeding by mandamus, and opposed the granting of the preliminary rule. He asked for time to examine the petition : ho named Wednesday, and the Court granted that Lime and then adjourned. Seventy-four new cases of small pox were reported iu Baltimore yesterday.

NARROW ErfCAl'E FROM BEINU 1IU1UEU Aijve.?Cardinal Donnet, who has recently expired in France at tlie age of S7, was an excellent man, who won his way to the height he attained by activity, good works, a tolerant spirit, and a natural eloquence enlarged l?y careful study. He was 41 years old when, in IS3G, Louis Philippe's govern ment made him archbishop of Bordeaux; but he became a cardinal in 1S">2, when Louis Xepolean needed respectabilities to (111 bis senate. Alike under the elder Bour bons, the house of Orleans, and the third Bonaparte, Donnet was popular and belov ed. He also deserves some remembrance on account of a singular adventure which be "fell him when a young man. During an illness his body assumed all the aspects of death. He was rigid, did not breathe, and his heart ceased to beat. The medical men affirmed that the youth was dead, and, ac cording to French law, he was speedily placcd in his coffin, and every preparation was made for his funeral. Vet all the time i ho was alive, heard what was said knew the lay and clerical folk around him, but it was not until the very last moment, just as the lid was about to be screwed down on his nar row bed, that, by a desperate eflort, he broke the spell and sat up, to the horror of all who were near. Thus was he saved from living entombment. It was in the sen ate. wheu arguing against such rapid burial that Cardinal Donnet related his own exper ience to astonished listeners.
