It is interesting to observe bow dexterously the Tresident knocks the mask fiom the rebel delegations -who "come to "Washington with smooth words but false, hearts, in the vain hope of regaining by diplomacy what they lost by treason.

The South Carolina commission, after a short conference returuod home as completely subdued as a vicious horse after a lesson in good behavior from lUrey. They were ready to take up either foot, to stand or go at bidding. The pretension indigenous to the latitude of South oozed out so thoroughly that not a vestige remained. Leaders steeped in the crime of treason had no excuse or apology to otter, but threw themselves and their neighbors upon the mercy of the executive. Last week a committee from Virginia waited on Mr.

Johnson to persuade him to strike out the twenty thousand dollar clause from the proclamation of pardon. At first the members spoke with an air of injured innocence, demanding the modification as a right, instead of asking it as a favor. They repeated the mistake, reiterated so often in different forms at the South as to have become a part of the gospel of the people. They said that the obnoxiou clause prevented the wealthy from aiding the poor, and from restoring prosperity to the country by the revival of business. Mr.

Johnson quickly and emphatically corrected the error, putting the cause of the evil where it belongs. He informed the delegation that treason, not the exceptions in the amnesty proclamation, was the source of their difficulties. Law is not responsible for the puuishment its violation brings upon the guilty. Yet the rebels have always argued from the hypothesis that the authorities constituted to maintain the sanctity or law and to enforce Us penalties in case of infractions, are rightly to be held accountable before the tribunal of the world, for all the blood shed and suffering incident to the execution of the attempt. Early in the war the southern press, and pulpit and forum, vomited forth the charge of responsibility against the North, be cause she refused to let the sisters depart in peace." If a wretch undertakes to com mit robbery or murder, upon his own head rest the evils which the attempt brings upon him.

"Mr, Johnson informed the delegation that he had lived at the South and was not to be deceived with regard to the relations subsisting between the rich and poor. From personal obrorvation, not confined to a few months but extended over a loug series of years, he knew that the rich plotted the rebellion and launched its forces into being to battle for the destruction of the Union From the structure of southern society, the wealthy are enabled to tyrauUo over the poor. Entrusted with the machinery of legislation, they contrived the statut so as to screen themselves and their sons from the hardships of actual ser vice, while the drag net of conscription was dropped again and again Into every corner ot the country, to pick up those who did not come within the exceptions. Since the disbandment of the rebel armies, returned soldiers, ti from borne early in the war by the hand of an outra geous oligarchy, have visited stern retribution upon their oppressors. Intelligent travelers wri ting from the Gull' States say that planters who remained at home under the protection ol "bomb-proofs," or commissions from the Kith mond government bringing them within the ex ceptions the conscription law, where they used their power to drive the "white trash" into the ranks, are now appealing to our military commanders for protection against the vengeanc of the men whom they lately persecuted.

Num bers have been murdered by way of retaliation Such facts show the relations that have subsisted between the two classes at the bouth. In the face of a traditionary system of exclu sion and oppression, the Virginia committee had the impudence to base their claim for relief on the ground of anxiety to aid the poor! It is a satisfaction to know that we have a President who cannot be duped by the pretenses of the rebel leaders. He knows them thoroughly. He has lived among them and su tiered deeply from their ferocity. Hy specious reasoning they may humbufr themselves, but thev cannot humbug Mr.

Johnson. Anoiuer Ilimory of (he Hebellion. Mr. L. teblns, of this city, announces the issue September of a history of the rebellion from the pm of Thomas P.

Kettcll, Esq. The first type of the work was set since the middle of May, '05, the text having been subjected to the latest corrections aud revisions. The whole will be embraced in a single volume of 800 closely printed octavo pages, Illustrated with numerous steel plate engraviugs and plate maps. The brevity of the space allotted to the causes of the rebellion, only fourteen pages, while many similar works, undertaken soon after the commencement of the war, devoted nearly a volume to the explanation of antecedent controversies, enables the publisher to present all the events of the conflict in a book of convenient use and agreeable appearance. Mr.

Kettell is a well known writer, and is particularly noted for research and accuracy. He Is a man of statistics of facts and figures who always alms to fortify his conclusions by an irresistible array of authorities. His studies peculiarly fit him for an of this kind, because devoted for many years to sub jects connected with the power, grow th and re sources of the United States. Many books claiming to be histories or biographies, might more properly be classed with romances, buch will not be the case with" Mr. Kettell s.

lie is not a writer to sacrifice sense to sound, or truth to ilia malic effect. The price'of the work is making it very cheap considering the amount of matter and the hih price of material. Those who wish to procure at small expense a readable and trust worthy history of the rebellion, will be pleased with the volume of Mr. Kuttell. Ileury Ilaiuiunt ol lxiilintilr.

This gentleman for a long series of years has occupied a prominent fposition lu Connect tout politics has filled various positions of public im portance and trust; has been a firm supporte-i of the government at all times; and has enjoyed the respect and confidence of people who' have bad intercourse with him. Fetty cliques hav ing some personal ends to serve, or jealous of the influence of others have, it is true, at various times, taken occasion to indulge in contemptible flings and low Billingsgate when referring to him but never, so far as our information extends, has there a man dared to assail the public or private character of Ilenry Hammond of Killingly, until the present member of the legislature from Fairfield (Mr. Barnum) stepped forward from his seat in the House a few days ago, and, flushed with excitement in bis indignation over the management of the New York and Xew Haven Railroad Company, indulged in an unwarranted and unjust personal attack upon him. Yesterday, in the House, Mr. Barnum's course was severely criticised, and it was properly sug gested to him that he had violated one of the rules by insinuating that a member had proved false to his oath, and should make an apology.

Mr. Hammond (who has been lying upon a sick bed, unable to attend to his legislative duties for several days, or he would answer for himself) was defended by Mr. Gallup of riainfield, Jud. Munson (dem.) of Seymour, and Mr. Harrison of New Haven, and in a manner which did credit to the fairness of these gentlemen.

This may be "dignilicd," but is it benevolent, humane, or just? Whoever is fortunate enough to discover or invent anything that will prevent, or cure, or alleviate human suffering, is bound to make It known, through every clian-nel of communication within his reach, to the general public.

until 5 p. and upon each hallot shall appear the word "Yes," or the word and if three-fifths ofthe ballots cast shall have upon them the word then the resolution amending the charter as aforesaid ''shall be deemed approved." In this form the resolution passed the Senate yesterday morning. In the afternoon the matter came up in the House, and, on motion of Mr. Welch of this city, the resolution was amended so that the ballots shall have upon them, instead ofthe words "Yes" and "Xo," the words "Trout Brook" and "Connecticut River," and as amended, passed. Subsequently the Senate concurred.

Our Legislative report gives a synopsis of tlie debate. County Jaila. The special Legislative committee, Mr. Osgood of Pomfret, chairman on the part of the House, which was raised with instructions to visit the jails in the several counties in this State, and examine into their condition and management, have made a report which has been printed. The opinion of the committee relative to the different jails, we condense as follows: Hartford County A substantia stone building, hut the situation i3 low, damp and unhealthy a most unsuitable JYetc Haten County Is a credit to the county ample grounds, good discipline, order, etc.

Finances of tlie county "decidedly refreshing." Litchfield County In good condition and well adapted to the purpose. Books, accounts, kept in a systematic, business-like manner. London County Much to commend and nothing to condemn keepers know their duty, etc. IFintWaiii County Substantial brick building, and everything in first-class order; management prudent, etc. Fairfidd County In Danbury badly located and poorly constructed dwelling connected with it used as a public liouse discipline unknown and prisoners have it all their own way.

Iu Bridgeport badly located, and general appearance unsatisfactory. Middlesex County Think it poor policy to have the jail at Iladdam, when the principal legal business is done at Middletown. Don't like the financial management; think that the item of expended for groceries in one year out of $010.48 received for board of prisoners, "like charity, covers a multitude of sins." But there is a newly appointed keeper, and better things are expected. Tolland County Good condition, safe and substantial. Indebtedness ofthe county now amounts to and the conimi ttee think the Treasurer should "respond." The committee, in closing their report, make the following recommendations, and submit a bill to carry the same into effect That the County Commissioners have the sole power of flimomtmg That the olliee of Inspector of jails and workflbuses be abolished Tliat the counties be required to provide for the snp-nort of nrisoners committed to jail That the State pay the counties for the board of prisoner; That prisoners be employed at out-door labor as far as practicable That County Commissioners keep a record of all their official acts; That Countv Treasurers have a fixed salary, and that County Commissioners be content with their wages.

Police Matlora. At the police court yesterday, Charlotte Bren-uen, common drunkard, was sent to the town house for 30 days. John Linnoii, for an assault, on the night of July 2d, on Frederick Fetting, constable of the town of Hartford, paid a fine of $5 and costs in all $11.07. Summary Punishment.

HAMMUMJ. The Siiet-ial order lor i o'clock a eouslderation of the railroad bill was on moil uta.eu up at tins uiue luottu in, ot.he.r Uooii tho tab.e. It was iigreed to uiscuss all questions conceniing raltroads in bills, but the bill proper-the uno whu.li was made, tho special order provides that whenever couipiaiul of ix-horbitant charges for freight is made to the general railroad commissioners, they snail hear the parties, and shall uinke regulations to correct grievances if tlie complaint is sustained then the raiiroau company may appeal lo any judge of the Superior Court not ic'siding in IV where the complainant resales; if new leguiauous ale slid established the company may go back to the railroad commissioners, ami there may be auouier appeal noutc as eie. lie oiuei oni piovmes inai any laiiioau company wnicn nas nail a bystem oi commutation force lor lour years it snail uoi oe aooiisueu; ami mar ine rale of commuUitlon charged bliail not be increased beyond the lalio now existing between it and tho regular price ol tare. Betore the discussion commenced, Mr.

Gallup of Plain-lield said the genllemaii liom Killingly (Hammond) was now absent from the House, being coitliued to a sick betl. A severe personal attack was made upon him the other day, ami he desires to be here ami bo heard. It seems hardly lair lhat the puvuege should be retusutt him; and as 1 am iroin the same county which he represents, and ve enioved a long iiersonal acuiiaiutiuice with him. 1 can do no'more than ask the indulgence of the House lor a moment or two. The attack upon the gentleman seems to me to be unnecessary, uncalled lor, and unjust as au upon lib personal cuaracter.

ine gentleman (Hammond) was a railroad commissioner, as haj been sta led by the gentleman from raiment (liaruum) and while he acied lu that capactity I hiid the honor of serving as chairman ot the railroad cominitiee of tlie Legislature, and iu the business of the committee with him 1 was al ways satislied that in all his othcial business he looked to the" best interests of the Statu and thu public, instead ot any railroad company. In tlie perlbrmaiice of their duty, the committee sunmllteu questions io umi, consulleu wim him and asked his advice, and his suggestions were fre- luenlly incorporated in mils, anu so lar as he lias lu this way had anything to do with the railroad laws, the statement of the gentleman from b'atrlield is true. We relied upon his judgment, ami in every case 1 have no hesitation iu saying he aided iu a perlectly consistent manner, his aid and assistance alwavs being in behalf ot the rights ol the State, lu our countv (Windham) the gentleman assailed stands high as a lair man, and 1 have as yet to litid the first man to charge him with bias in any of his ottioial transactions, white iu the perlormanee oi" his du ties as railroad commissioner, xle has sutlied too ma'iv controversies arising out of our railroad interests, for lho beneut ol Uie puunc, to iuuy couiiemu me cuarges which have been inade agaiust him. His suggestions have been invited, ami his contributions to the railroad laws of the State 1 consider of great valtio to the people. Mr.

Gallup then read irom the public acts to show what Mr. Ham mond had done. He proposed the bill which requires all railroad companies to make their annual reports to the commissioners before April 1st; another requiring operatives on all trains to wear appropriate badges by which they can be designated another, that no road shall be opened until it has been ascertamed that it is iu sale running condition. Uu his suggestion the Legislative committee acted and reported ihe bills. Under these circumstances alter what ho has accomplished lor the public good 1 lliiiiK It comes witn very jtoor grace Irom any man to say he has been influenced ut any time by unworthy motives that he lias beeu improperly in llu-enced by railroad corporations.

Iu another ease, the Legislative committee were literally compelled to lbrco the New I'ork and New Haven railroad company to build a new depot at Bridgeport. A ltetltion was subsequently sent to the railroad commissioners, of whicli the gentleman from Kiliingly (Hainmontl) was one, urging that the railroatl company might continue to occupy the old depot; but this very uuu resisted it and stood by the action of the Legislative committee. In my own town, there was another case, affecting the interests of a raiiruad company, in which the commissioner IHiuuuiond) performed his duty to the entire satislaction of Uie public. Mr. tiallup, iu closing, said he made these statements iu simple justice to a man who hes upon a sick betl.

Mr. Munson. of Seymour, spoke at length, and ma le many amusing points uion the siteech ol' ihe gentleman trom I3arnuml delivered thoolher day. Ho de-tended the Naw ork and New Haven road, "and iu re-lerring to the course of Mr. Barnum said it reminded him of the work written showing ihe blei-sings of juivei-tv.

It was discovered finally that tho writer was oue vilioso lcn was pointed with a diamond and whose table was of gold. So it is with the gentleman; he talks of injustice done to commuters to ioor men living along the road when at the same time he himself owu more projuM'tv alongthe road than any other man owns enough to buy and sell the Legislature; iu a word, can write ith a dia-mond-isiiuted pen. Sir. Munson then defended Mr. Hammond from the asatllts made upon hiiu.

He is a political opponent ol mine; it would be for the interest of my pai 'y to have hiiu iiuiHtached, as a matior of political capi nl, but ttio cliarges against him won't stand. Supposing bomebodv did go to ihe Sjteaker ofthe House, to have him appointed on the railroad committee, if ropoit is true, the gentleman from Fairfield (Barnum! himself went to the presiding officer ofthe Senate and desired him to put a particular man uHn a committee. Mr. Barnum: No, sir; 1 went to the LieutctiHnt-Cluv-ernor to nof have him put a ccrfaiu man on a committee Mr. Munson: It is the same thing; only a ncqntire wav of packing a committee.

He had known Mr. Hammond tor ten or twelve years, and had alwavs found him to tie au honorable gentleman. Mr. Munson then showed that it was tho duty of a Hailroad Commissioner to make sug-gestions concerning the railroad laws. He continued at length, supporting ihe loa.

tjntho subject of commutation he held we have uo evidence lhat it is loo high Mr. 1 Uoiupsou, of Stratford, spoke ablv on the qucs-Uott. He had consulted with all the parties interested and was satisfied there was no malignant purpose against Uie New York road lo curb their power. It is smii.le justice. A tear has arisen that tho c.mmutaiion svst'm dl be done away with; the commuters are meii who cannot aUord to live in the metropolis, though doing bmc-iiess there, and this system is a great beneiu to them aud their families.

He should tuppoit the bill to hold the company to commutation; but the other bill refeirme to commissions, ought not to pas; there in darker of coirui-U jn. and it is one sided. 1 Mr. Hoyt, of Stamford, showed that the system of commutation had been of great advanbige to the Statu In VorkVf "moulded to lo He siKikecirnesUyand candidly on the subject, tint it was the duty of the Legis.a.ure prevent the alHTliiien ofthe system which has so long prevailed Mr. Barnum.

Fisk, assistant commander of the Bureau of Freedmen and Refugees at Xashville, Tenn. He says that the insolence and ill treatment from the returning rebel soldiers has very much to do with the reluctance with which the colored peo- pie continue their labor on the plantations. Many of the retnrned rebels talk openly of tlie rees- tablishtnent of slavery as soon as federal bayonets are withdrawn, which is cause of great dissatisfaction among the blacks, and causes them in many cases to leave the plantation to keep, in sight of Union troops. Cases of inhumanity to negroes on the part of their former masters in the interior ofthe Southern States are occasionally brought to the notice of Gen.

The pretended report of an interview between Senator Sumner and President Johnson, first put in circulation by the Cincinnati Enquirer, and afterwards copied by other papers, is obviously on its face an invention. Senator Sumner has not been in Washington since Johnson has been in the White House, or since the promulgation of the North Carolina proclamation. Tlie hole story is, therefore, an impossibility.

Down to his leaving Washington in the month of May, Sena tor Sumner had occasion to see the President frequently, and spoke with him on public ques tions, including, ot course, tlie great question of reorganization, and of the colored suffrage. The conversation on both sides was always of the most friendly character. Boston Transcript. A Xobi.e Keoiment.

COMCIXATIONS OF THE 130SJTOT COAT, eus. At a meeting ot coal dealers, held in this city a day or two since, to regulate the prices, there was more man a usual warintn 01 discus sion. Most of those present were in favor of fix ing the price of coal at $10 per ton, but others thought that the time for an advance had not arrived, and expressed their preferences for $9 as the rate. The meeting finally separated without coming to any agreement. The determination of a majority of the dealers evidently is that the price for the rest of the season shall be $10.

Tins is altogether too high. The Charter Oak Mutual Coal Company of Hartford, has a mine located at Pottsville, which yields to 70,000 tons of coal in a year, and they have established their price at $7 $7.50 per ton, delivered at the residences of subscribers in that city.

The landed estate of Trinity church, Xew York, is sufficient to place that church beyond the reach of poverty.

It originally covered 2,008 lots, of which, since 1748, 318 have been given away, 1050 have been sold and 691 are still owned by the church. Most of these lots are leased to other parties, but the leases will soon expire, and Trinity will then have about 20,000,000 worth of real estate. John Jacob Astor was shrewd enough in 1706 to obtain leases of 336 of these lots for 99 years at 55 cents a vear for each lot. It has been a very pleasant amusement lately for Mr. Wm.

B. Astor to pav over annually $252 to Trinity and receive for the use of the same property about $198,000. But Mr. Astor's leases will expire next year, and although ne attenus cnureu at i rinity regularly, he will not be able to renew the leases on such favorable terms. The TorKTir is Cuajilestox, S.

Editors: The Lake, the last one constructed by the Fair Haven AVater Company, on West Kock, is supplied by a stream so small that its power and capacity was the subject of ridicule by the "opponents of the "Mountain Water Project," before legislative committees. It covers 75 acres, and is hoi by a dam 3,500 feet long, and 30 feet high, and holds about gallons of water.

Last summer it was sweet ami pure throughout the season. Last fall tho ater was drawn ott in order to see theoondiUon ofthe dam, and to remove stumps and a part of the soil. Tiio water-gate was closed December 1st, 1SG4. On the 20th of February, ISCj, (two months and twenty day,) the water had filled the reservoir or lake, to within two feet of the waste-way. ot desiring to have it fill while there was frost iu the upper part ol" the dam, the water-gate was opened so as to disehargo 5,00,000 gallons dally.

Kotwithstanding this discharge, tho water gained so that on tlie first day of March it was running over the waste-way, and on the -1th it poured over eight inches deep. The gate was then opened so as to discharge 11,000,000 gallons daily. Alter the season progressed a little more, the gate was closed, ami the flow continued over the "gate-way, so that the lands below have tlie full benefit of the. natural flow of the stream. These facts are interesting as matters of record, and as a contribution to the subject of small streams and large supplies, and as counter to the sworn statements nnd opinions oicenwn water engineers and citizens who fa-; loioti me piirsciii musty water company, and defeated I for three years my getting a charter for pure mountain I water of almost endless supply.
