WasmrxaToy, Feb. 15.—The excitement over the forthcoming report of the Poland Investi- gating Committeo has now reached such a height fhat it may be said that Congress is struck with e.morsl panic. Tho outline of tho report, which +was given in tho despatches of Thuredsy last, is nmiversally admitted 1o be correct, even by tho members of the Committed themsclves. Brooks is 50 far assured of tho fatoin store for Lim, that ho is laboring night and day with his Demo- cratic colloagues o avoid & vote of expulsion. A movement has sprung up, moving in “‘car- pet-bag”_guarters, to induce Ames to resign 80 28 to avoid the inevitable fight which & resolu- tion to expel Lim alono among the Republican members will occagion. Ames, howeyer, willnot Do apary to this compromise, and says that things must now take their logical course. If Congress desires to expel him it can do go. Tho report of the Wilson Credit Mobilier Committee, contrary to gon expecta- tion, will ‘donbtless bo submitted on ~on- dsy’ mest. It was thought, when this Committee took up the consideration of the Central Pacic Railroad, - that it would proven work of such magnitudo that the report would not be ready for & week or ten days, but tho Commitlee have obtained sbout all the informa- tion op this subject availablo, east of the Rocky JMountains, and of course they cannot go to Cal- ifornia, nor wait for papers and porsons to como from that region, for further evidence, and hape to report during ihis session. From what they have Deen ablo to gof, howeser, it is perfectly plain that tho Contract Company that built that rosd was in all its essential fea- tures, practically the sume kind of a concern ag the Credit Aobilier, and that its operation and results were tho famo es those of tho Union Pacific ring, so_far 08 the nature of the case would permit. One consideration that is hast- ening the completion of this roport in order that it may be submitted Mon- Qay, is tho fact that it will show indubitably asd conclusively. that if tho gentlemen who Tiave dabbled in tho Credit Mobilier stock did so with = knowledge of what the corporation really Was, snd if they failed to dispose of their stock | ftor finding out what tho_character of the con- cern was, they are guilty to a degreo equal * to the worst_consimetion that_Las ‘been put upon tho cliarges made against them. Tho comming up of 'tlna report vill bring forvard this conclusion in 2 manuer that will leave no Foom for doubt, besides adducing many other ihings which it is thought are indispensablo to enable Congressmen to decide on Lhe questions arising out of the report of Judge Poland's Committee, For theso reasons, tho completion of the report is being_pushed with sll the rapid- ity poseible, and it ia hoped thet it will bo fin- iched in time for use 8s an _inyalusble explan- atory accompaniment to the Poland report. SHERMAN—GARFIELD. The developments in the case-of Judge Sher- ean, wherein General Garfield and others are invoived, have had s tendency to stifen tho back bezes and harden the hearts of many, Who pavo heretofore been inclined to ~ view tho Credit Mobilier sufferers in & chatitshlo light. They say that the Snermen _letter, opening -up ss it does 2 new field of infamy in on unexpected quarter, fi sdditional proof that the most damnable cor- Tuption really exists, andthat it bas pervaded all Tauks, and Lhat oxamples must be made of the Sffendors who have been convicted, and that e most_severe measures towards them Sl sufiico to check an evil which is grown so igantic, and is_spreading with such rapidity B nsiderablo indignation is also manifested on' only tho foor of tuo Houss at the fact that within the last two Gar- §eAd has been quite frequently called 20 the chair by Speaker Blaino to preside tem- rerily, Garfield's occupation of the chair eretoiore has been an unusual thing, and that e i8 now eallad 80 often 18 regarded 38 an effort 20 givo him a better stending than be is entitled 10, 2 o give him such weight as belongs to onio who is held in high esteem in official circles, s will inflaence the Houso when kus case is to be voted on. - {70 the Awsociated, Press.) TEE FUNDING LOAN. The Treasury to-day issued seven millions of pew 5 per cents to the Syndicate on receipt of Ccertificates and doposits of an equal amount of £-50 bouds s security for payment. One mill- jon was issued vesterdayon tho same condi- tions. The Treasury will now iseue bonds daily 10 the Syndicate, as called for by them. PART PAID POSTAGE. The Attorney General lias sent to Postmaster General Creswell an_opivion to the effect that 3he section of the Postal act which has becn con- strued Ly the Post Office Department warranting Zhe collection of Goublo the omount of unpai Tostege is not in sccordance with the Epinit of fhe nei. The Attornoy General plainly says thet only the amount of unpaid postage can be law- £fully collecied. SPANISIT TECOGNITION. The promptness with which Minister Wash- burne was instructed to recognize the French Government hss given riee to the report that inister Sickles has been directed to vecognize £hat of Spain. g — CREDIT MOBILIER. THE SENATE COMMITTEE. WasmxgToN, Feb, 15.—The Seucte Credit Mobilier Commitiee Leld s sccrot scasion this tmorning, and_adjourned till 13§ o'clock, when YVice Prezident-elact - WILSOX +as recalled, and his attention was called to & despatch sent to tho New York Times on the 36ih of Séptembor lust, contradiclig. by bis suthiority, the statement ihat ho held Credit Mobilier ‘stock. Semator Stockton ssked the Sritnese if ho had authorized tho contradiction. Tho witness replied he had a conversation with General Doynton, and did authorize the con- ¢radiction. ‘The despatch was the substance of & convaraation he hed with General Boynion. Tie - imess would fake tho word of General PBoyntun. He is & man of cheracter, snd is trustsorthy. SENATOR PATTERSON was recalled, and testified thit his converrstion with Ames in relstion to_taking stock might lisve been esrlier than 1867.. It probably oc- curred during the session of 1866; conld not re- aember. The moroy wag paid for the stock by fho witness. The receipt produced by Ames and signed by witness called for 200 shares, heress, in point of fact, heseceived $00shares, =ad put them in the hands of a broker to sell. GENEBAL H. V. BOYNTON wassworn. The attention of the witnees was called to the despatch ol Sept. 16 in relstion to Senator Wilson. Ho testified he sent the des- patch to the Times while serving that paper 2o Bccomriodate ‘its speciel correspondent, who was out of town. The despatch was anthorized Dy Senator Wilson. It was written by witnoss, 2t not submitted to Senator Wilson before be- fng scnt. Mr. Wilson stated nothing about Lis e having an intorest in the Credit Alobilier. SENATOD IARLAN wasrecalled. Horead s lengthy statement to the offect that Dr. Durant’s cyntribation towards prise. Tt was received and applicd with the same motive which has led the witness at the sugges- tion of friends on various occasions o collectk and apply what would amount in the aggregate to large sums for the benefit of other candidates for ofiics, Stale or National, just 2s ho aided, less than a year since, o collect considerable sums to bo forwarded to North_Carolina, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Indiang, and XNebrasks, for de- froying tho exponses of olection of members of the Tegislature, which would bo required to eloct Unitod States Scnators’ the de- Sire to securo tho re-clection of certain tinent United States Sevators being no emall et of the motive influencing donations. As to Yo datcaof the drafts, although the witness wes amable to give definite information, it is his be- Tiof thzt they were received after the date of tho Towa October election. They wers both received at the same time. They probably bear different Qates, Neither of them was cashed immediately aftor it receipt. _One of them was probubly de- sited, and cheoked out afterwards. The cesh- Taiz of one of them was probably deferred until lato in the sutumn, possibly in tho winter. One of tho checks was poseibly cnshed in tho sutumn or winter following the October election of 1865. ‘An to whom those funds were gout to for use, the witnees had no data_to male a complete ex- hibit, The funds passed, in fact or by suticipa- tion, from time to time, into the bands of friends, and were applied by them eithor to reimburse expenses previously incurred or to pay current demands for which noaccouat was ever requirod. The amounts handod to friends for oxpenses wonld excoed the amount of both checks. ~ Sinco Josterday the witness, at the wish of the Com- Tiittee, conversed with personal friends in refer- nco £ porsons to whom theso funds veero in- frusted, or who_wero thus reimbursed, with a oy to'refresh his memory. Funds wore sent 1o, 5. Nobla, of Iowa, as boforo stated. Funds ero intrusted to Mr. Gurley, at ono time United Btates Attorney for the District of Towa. Some- fhing was handed to Colonel Willism Penn Clask, mow of this city; to Colonel T. IL. Stan- ton, United_States Army, to reimburso expendi- fures made bythem. Threo hundred dollars wero cont to T. S. Woolson, member of tho State Senato, at Mount Pleasant. the plece of resi- donco of witness, with insfructions to use as uch a8 was necossary o pay hotel bill, carrisge hire, and Bervices of messengers during the con- tost, over §200 dollars of which, Lowover, he e heds roturned, stating thut ho needed but fittle, Tho witness bas an improssion that part of these funds went into the possession of Flijoh Sells, through the Lands of other purtics, ithout Sells knowing the source from whic it came, but he (witness) had not yotbeen able to traceit. Thero were others whose bills were paid, who disbursed funds to_defray cxponses, Shor the witness is unable to particularize. Tho Witness was then tosed to bis utmost capacity With the business of tho Interior Department. To was unablo togive much thought to what then secmed to be 5o small a matter as Lia clec- tion s Senator, believing that if not clected, he could remain in the Cabinet. 20r. Stockton—For what ‘money subscribod. What di Imoney in tho election of thoSenators in Towa ? Apswor—I will explain that my knowledge on the subject was chiefly derived from friends, until a year since. "As to the parpose to which the money was ap- plicd Mr. Hurlan's statement sets forth that by tho manner in which Senatorial clections are carried on, tho contest being first on tho candidates for_the Legiulature, o large expenso iy involved, especially in ftravelling fhrough the State. It defails ot length how the fricpda of the candidates are put to expenso in attending at the Capital about tho time of clec- tion by the Legisluturc. It was to meet this expenzo that Duraut’s checks wore applied. Tho difficulty of tracing the application of funds un- er such circumstances, and &0 long ago was Jein. P Qesiro to aid the Committeo to the extent of my ability in the performance of their duty, by dizelosing fully all 1 know about each subjoct of logitimata inquiry; bub as somo of tho ques- tions propounded during the latter part of my examination, yesterday, seomed to be simply for $ho purpose to inquire into my conduct in rela- tion to matters which appear to my mind as ouiside what I hed supposed to be iho legitimato purview of the original inquiry, leading to the examination of my con- uct i another official position, as stated by tho members of this Committes in propounding Bome of these questions, I think I ought not t0 Do interrogated further 08 to _these points, until Thave an opportunity to kuow what tho sup- pored offences are. Then I cen offer rebutting Yestimony to the entire satiafaction of every Benator and every fair-minded citizen of this country. Senator Harlan was then asked, “Wero you ever threatencd il any way by o ‘presentation of checks 7" ‘Answer—1 do not think anything of that kind ever oconrred.” GENERAL H. V. BOINTON, < a correspondent of the press, was called and asked whother he had_any personal knowledge 85 to whother the checks, or stubs, or copies of them were shown to Mr. Harlan to influcnco his action. The witness replied that he published tho statement, but bad no_absoluto personal Knowledgo of tho presentation of these checks orstubs to Senator Herlan. Ho was further askod whether e knew of any person who knew Whether they were presented. Ho repliod ho kmow of nobods of his absolute personal knowl- edge. . Adjourned. gt ogh v ‘NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. Wasursaroy, Feb. 15,—At the sitting of the Weys and Means Committeo, to-day, PRESIDENT EING, of the New York Stock Exchange, teatified that the letter of Judge Sherman, cluiming 10,000 for services in Washington, had been mislaid, Lut would probably be produced 1n 3 day or two. He prescnted the roport of the sub-Committee of the Stock Exchenge, to which Judge Sher- man's claim was referred, which sots forth that 10 bsis for valid claim by Judge Sherman was found. Alr. King produced tho letter from Jndge Sherman, dated Cloveland, March 27, 1872, addresed to L. Lockwood, Jr., in whicll it was gtated that, at the instance of the father of Mr. Lockwood, he (Judgo Shermau) made an effort to effect changes in the law, 80 18 to ex- empt bankera and brokers from heavy taxes. is efforts and influence resulted in a virtual re- peal of those laws. Tho writer, therefore, wrote Po ascertain whether the Slock Exchango Com- mittes would recognize thio contract end sor- es . King (tho vitness) had no knowledgo of Colgate's report coucerning: tho alleged prop- osition of Bassett, Clerk of the Committce ou Ways and Means, ' The Stock Exchange nover used money for corrupt purposes in connection \ith legislation, nor bave tho members thereof any impression that money can buy legislation in Washington. The investigation will be resumed on Mon- dey, when several members of the Stock Ex- chango will bo examined. ; . o R CCNGRESSIONAL. HOUSE. THE PSSIDENT NOTIFIED. r. DAWES, from the Juint Committce tono- tify tho President and Vica President clect of thair election, reported that the Committce had performed that duty, ond bad heen chargod by those gentlemen to roport to tho_two Houses fheir accoptance of tho trusts conded to them, #nd their obligations to the peopo for that mark of their confidenco; also. the agsurance that fhey would endesvor to discharge the duties of their respective offices. INDIAN CONTRACTS. - On motion of Mr. SHAKKS, of the Committee on Indian Affairs, after explznation by him, 3 Dill was passed making unlawful any contract with the Indians relative to land or claims en- tercd into prior to the act of May 21, 1872, un- Jess such contract bein writing, and approved by and entered in the Department of tho Interior. CONGRATTLATING SPAIN. Mr. WILLARD nsked leavo to introduce and pass o joint resolution congratulating the Cortes and th peoplo of Spain o the ealsl] ishment of 3 Republic in that'country. The reading of tho Zosolution was interrupted by r. BANKS, Cheirman of the Committes on Foreign Affairs, o aid, 1 abloct. 1t is a proposiicn to ecog- Rize slavers in the colonies of Spain.” Ar.

It was mob made_in Corsideration of any service performed or o be performe, personally or officially, by the wit- ‘Tmess for him or any other 2hat there was no éuch understanding expressed or implied. He did not think Dr. Durant offered 14 intinence his official action, He believed Dr. Durent made the contribution solely out of per-, sonal rogard for witness as a friend, sud from tue conscientious belief on his part that if, would i a bepefit for the State, where he (Durant) #eld a large property interest, and for the Nation <¢hat the witness shonld bereturned tothe Senato. “This contribntion was received in good faith for he purpose ‘named by the dongr, and hobelieved fvas spplied - in the same wey 48 &_eontribution Zrom any other personsl friend.

BEMOVED.

PETERS spoke’ in favor af tbe smend- they do with the- ing that provis ion which refers claimants to-the Courts in their districts instead of tribunals to git in Washington as £nid ho was & member of the Committeo on Claims, and knew how clnimants were robbed in tho den of thieves outsido of Congress, by men Who watched them at every corner and de- manded pay for influence which they professod to have with members of Congress. Ho did not want clzimants from his district to be sout to Washington, where they would first_have to e 8 clafa sgént 25 por cent: thon have to pay undreds of thousands of doliars to_tha todls of claim agents. As to tho claims of the iusurance companies, they wero entitled not to mercy ar cquity, but to law, to the bond. and nothing but the bond. These' insuranco compenies had never shown any mercy to owners of vessels. They had used their power without merey. They ehould not now como to Congross pleading for cquity or mercs. They had made 8 profit of two millions of dollars on their war risks. Thero Was no equity in allowing them sdditional profits. Mr. LYNCH also supported the bill, with some reservations. Ho arguod that tho war risks on cargoes should b mado ot to tho owner of the cargoes, but to the owners of tho vessels. Mo MIYERS (Pennsylvania) argued in favor of the right of the insurance companies to share in the distribution of the award. ar. TAMES argued ia support of the amend- ment offered by him_yesterday, admitting inlo Hhe distribution tho claims of all who susteined Tosees by tho dopredations of the Confoderato cruiecrs. i Mr. BECK opposed tlio bill and rather favored the substitute offered by Mr. Poland, in o far as it roferred the wholo matter to three Courts, to eit in New York, Boston, and Phildelphia. Tfo was in 1o frame of mind to decide what was exact justico in the question. He, thercfore, preferred to let the Courts of _the United States Bay 60, instcad of Congress., Ho deniod that any part of the moncy could bo paid to make o0d nny other losses than those iuflicted 3 tho Alabama, Florida' and Shenandoah, be- cause it was for these losses that England paid the money. As to the insuranco companics, he saw no means of eseaping from the conclusion that they should be subrogated to the rights of the insurcd, But, if the Courts could find apy way to et clear of that, he shonld be glad. He saw none. Tho money could not be lkopt in the Tressury. Tie would rather 6eo it sunk in tho ocean than to have it said that tho United States Government, had reccived money to pay for dam- ages for which Great Britain was, responsible, and had then paid ic for other purposes. Tho good fuith of the Government was_worth nore fhan all tho money, When the Courts had do- tormined tho quostion the world would be uatis- ed. fr. KERR aleo opposed the biil. He was not willing to follow his projudices or dislikes towards the wealthy corporations of the country. Tlo would say with tho utmost sincerity that e had entered on the investigation of the st_ject with the settled and deliberato dotermination, if possible, ou correct and honest grounds, to decide against those corporations, and to decido in favor of the other classes of citizens, and of the Treasury, but he would not doso much violonce to his judgment snd conscienco as to give a vote which would, in his judgment violate fiio sottled recognized honorsble principlea of law. There was an element of cupidity in the bill, He argued that it should mot be in 1ts present form passed. He very greally preferred the pm&'lusition of the gentlemzu from Yermont (Polaud) to submit tho distribution to tho Courts, Ar. VOORHEES, 2 member of the Com- mitteo, supported the bill, and replied to tho erguments of Mossra. Beck and Korr. Thero a8 in those arguments, he said, an element of respect to England, as well as of respect to the insuranco companics. According to thom, the insuranco companios must be looked to with ave. If not, thon England must be looked to with respect and atwe, becuugo that Government would hold the United States responsible for not npgl;:in[z tho money in the way it was intended to bo paid. A more_degrading iden had never entered into consideration in regard to the foreign policy of this country. The distribu- tion of this money was tho business of the Americen Government. A more shameless and degrading idea had never beon advanced in tho Houso of Representatives as that a foreign pover should _follow hero and tell tho Government _of the United States what it should do with its own people, and its own funds. It was not only absurd, but it had been refuted by the instructions of the American agents at Geneva, Dot fo be com- mitted to anything required at their hands by England, as to what ehould bo done with a sin- gle “dollar of the money. Whenever he could seo is way plain in settling up the dreadful results of tho dreadfal war, by standing up against tho further accretions of enormous wealth, snd sgainst furcher speculation on_the side of already bloated fortunes, but on the side of the equities of the poor, who were nob powerfully represented, he should certainly be found there: Mr. BUTLER dsllnss.) closed the debate in Enpsm’t of the bill, as reported by him. He ar- ed that Mr. Poland’s proposition was wholly Tnapplicablo, and wouldleave without any reme- dy all the small claifants, who could not afford to suo in the tribunals provided therein. He d fonded the provision of the bill regarding tho in- surance ‘companies, and stated thab tho wholo theory of insuranco was that the preminms paid the losses. The fact in this casowaa that the in- suranco ~_companies paid_a littls over 5 millions, and_Imd_recoived a8 war premiums a little over six millions. Not more than two- thirds of the war premiums had yet come in. As {ho claims stood, the insurcnce compavies, 83 & ‘body, had made & million dollars of profit. He thought they had made two and & half or threo ‘millions, yet it was proposed to lot them partici- pate in this distribution. Somo men called that equity and justice, but_ho kney whero the gen- tleman from Indiana (Kerr) had got his notions on the subject. Ho had scen him accompany the attorney of the insurance companics, Mr. Evarts, into the Committe-room of the Judiciary and listen to his argument. KERR (angrily)—Tho gentleman's state- ment is not true. Mr. BUTLER—Were you not thero ? Mr. KERI—Yes, but I did not sccompany the attorney, as the-gentleman states. Mr. BUTLER—The difference is this : You Fern ‘there oulyat that time and atno other jime. . Mr. KERR—I had the right to go therc under the courtesy of tho Commuttee, to listen to the srgument. I went there, but' I accompanied nobody there, gxcept tie gentleman from Ken- tucky (r. Back). 2 JIr. BUTLER—Well, that"is the key-note of the gentleman's argument. Mr. KERR—It i8 not true, 3ir. BUTLER—I did not seo tho gentleman thero afterwerds, and simply sayivg that “it is not true” does not alter the mater at all, when the fact stated is true. Now, I am aware that it was tho sgent of the United States at Geneva, tho paid attorney of the United States, who camo beforo the Committeo and said ho vis the sid attorney of the insurance compznies before o was agout of tho United States. He went to Genova 88 the retained counsel of the insurance companies. Ho came before the Committeo and argued the case in° favor of_tho insuranca com- panics. Ho Lias been on this floor, arguing tho case, with what results we Lave seen, bat uot to change the vote of any honest man, in my judg- ment, who has heard both eides. ' Perhapa Lo may have_ influenced the minds of thoso who ave heard only one side. Mr. KERR—Will the gentleman let mo ask him ono c;ueutiou ? Mr. BUTLER—I cannot. 3ir. KERR—y question is wiether tho gen- tleman himself i5not the hired attorney of the other claimants, r. BUTLER—No, sir. . 3r. KERR—I have heard it statod that Lo is. 3r. BUTLER—That is false. . Mr. KERR—It may be ; I do not assert it. Mr. BUTLER—Then it is insinuating what 8. man dare not say. Afr. BANKS—I rige to a guestion of order. It s not the right of any member to charge an- other member with falsehood bere. Mr. PETERS—He ouly said that the state- ment was falee. 3ir. BUTLER—T will not discuss that at all. Mr. BANKS—It ig_not admissible ; such de- bate should not bo allowed. _Afr. BUTLER—I have said nothing unpar- liamentary. I havo nothing to teke back. * What 1 moan to say is, that there are some men who are 50 little ncquainted with an honest iransac- tion that they do not know it when they sce it. [Laughter.] Thatis sl I mean to sey. Mr. KERR—And you are ono of that kind. 3Mr. BUTLER—That may be, but 1 am not alono, What I mean to say directly and osactly . faat theso insurance companies bave Tecotved 6,000,000 for war ‘risks, when they bave paid out only §5,000,000. Tlere are some men who seem to desire to give them £5,000,000 more out of the funds in the Treasury, or out of the funds of honest claimants. It séems to me .80 mon- strous a proposition, that it cannot, be supported by any honest mind for s moment. No haneet mind will support it nnless snch mind is led astray by sophistry. - Mr. BIRD mo to Iny tho bill on the tabls. ment to make the interest sllowed date back to-, Bei_;c;ed by a division. ¥ the time of actusl losses, except ‘in the caso of the insurance companies, which are to bo al- ious amendments_offered by Messre.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yo, Feb. 15.—Stokes has a new lease of lifo for an indefinito number of months, through s stay and vwrit of error granted by Judgo Davis to-day. The public and press had- concluded thet Stokes execution was inevitable, snd this sudden change was s surprise. The prisoner received his bad news yesterday with nonchalance, but to-day he and his relations prosent in the Tombs could mob conceal his_delight over the unoxpectedly prompt action of tho Judge who made the ponderous chargo in tho Tweed trial. Tho even- Ing papors, most of which had editorials on the o era of stern justice as intorpreted by Judge Bonrdman, had to striko enotber Ley in later oditions, Judge Davis said in announcing the stay to-day : Whenever tho Judgo to whom such an application s made, in o capital case, considers the question raised Tpon the trial, and which may have affected the result adversely to prisoner, to be of such grave moment and rious doubt, elther from their not having been eet- tled Ly the higher Courts,or becauseof conflicting authoritics touching them, ' that in hia judgment they aro wosthy the solemn deliberation of an Ap- pellate Tribupal, it is his duty to accord 1o the prisoner ‘the opportunity to” present them for review, and in this caso the duty should be dis- charged in' view of tho irremediablo consequencea that .mmay follow his Tefusel, The exceptions taken upon ‘the trisl of tiia case-are numerous, The great major- ity of them I deem to be frivalous, or of such slight importance that thes, cannot be regarded s having prejudiced pelsoner ; but, in my opiuion, they are not 41 of that doscription. Some of the exceptions o the Tulings on receiving and excluding cvidence will, I {hink, deserve attentive consideration upon argument. T cansiot hero consider them in detail. The exceptions on which T havo the greatest doubts arise upon s por- fion of tho charge, Tho indictment was for mur- der in the first degree. The Court and the coun- sl for Dboth sides concurred that the offence ‘Fas either murder in tho first degres or manslanghter I tho third degree, or justifiable homicide. Tho kill- ing by fatal shot from o pistol fircd by tho prisonor Wi conceded, and I understand the charge to Lave Deon in substance that from thia conceded fact and the circumatances attending (if tho latw implics the malice {hiat makes out the case of the prosccution fully and entirely, unlen the prisoner gave vidence suficlent to satisfy the jury that tho ing was manslaughter), expreey malice must be proved or prisoner_canuot Cotivicted under the indictment charging a premeditat- od design to effect death, Understanding tho chargo of iho Jearned Judge to have declared as 3 legal proposition ‘that tho law implies tle oalics from the killing snd circumstances of Gata, 20 that the charges of fndictment were fully and ehtirely mudo out, uutess the prisoner proved, by evi- Sence sufficient o satisfy the jury, that hixnct was a foss erime ar no crime, I caunot bist fec), in the light of the. cases referred. to, that thiere aré such gravo Soubts both as to tho correctuess of the charge and its gmhnhle effect on tho deliberation of tho Jiury as to ol fiis with rogret, but having reached {t, Tahall perform tho duty that springs from it with no Besitancy. _The it of error is allowed, with @ stay of execution of sentence, until the decision of the General Term. STEAMBOAT DISASTER., Burningof the Eenry A, Jones--Ttwen= % ty-one Lives Moste Kew Onezays, Fob. 15.—Tho steamboat Hen- ry A Joges, from Houston for Galveston, with & cargo of 445 bales of cotton, was destroyed by firo thia morning, in Galyeston Bay. Twenty- one lives were lost; emong them were theCaptain, 5 ®Price, first clerk, and James B. Hogan, second clerk. Both were well-known steamboat- men. Gavsestox, Feb. 15.—The Feiner coantes Forbes bronght to this city the rescued from the burnt steamer Henry A. Jones. Among them are pssistant-pilot Davis G. Gordon, who wos on watch at tho timo of the disstor. He gives tho following particalars: When about three miles above Red Fish Bar, at 4:50 this morning, the watchman on the lower deck called out, “Red Fish light in ns}:t," A watchman was in the act of casting thelesd when an exploston was heard, something like the escapo of steam, but more resembling the report of a gun. The first ilot, who was on the robf, rau down to the fower deck, and immediately sang ont to the ag- sistant pilot to make his escape, s the boat was on fire. Gordon immediately loft the wheel and ran down stairs. When he got bélow he found the fire bad wrapped the whole boat and cargoin » sheet of fiames. He had only time to reach the barge. The Jones had 442 bales of Cotton, &_lot of hides, etc, on board, and & barge of wool in ‘tow. About the time Gordon _reached the barge it caught fire, and was let loose from the ‘burmn- ing boat, and floated awsy. Murphy, the engi- neer on duty, did not escape. is conjecture ‘regarding tho csuse of the disaster. The prob- ‘abilities are that the fire-wall gave way, and that the report heard by Gordon was caused by its fall. It.is. certain that the whole vessel and cargo wero in -flames ‘within..five minutes after the firat alarm. __ The following are known to be Jlost: J. J. Prico, -first clork; James Hogan, second_clerk; - William Murphy, first engineer ; Peter . ~ Peterson, cooper ; John Cnmminii ;D. Turper; Joo. i Christopher Shelby; James Brown; Wm.

No insurance. SPAIN. Mapum, Feb. 15.—The' snow in Biscay snd Navarre prevents operations by tho Spanish troops againet tho Carlists. Senor Salmoron, Minister of Justice, will pro- sont abill to the National Assombly, to-day, providing for tho sbolition of capital punish- ment. The Government have ordered the suppression of the Royal Guard. It is probable that the Council of Stato will also bo suppreased. . It is asserted thatthe Governmentsof the United States of America, France, England, Bel- gium, and Switzerland will soon recognize tho Republic of Spain. . Tho establishmont of tho Republic was cele- brated last might by a gereral illumination. The streets woro crowded, but thero was no dis- cord. Despatches from the provinces report that tranquility oxists overywhere, cxcept in districts disturbed by the Carlists. Itis eaid, however, that the army i3 opposed to tho Ropublic, and favors a monazehy, but is divided in its choico for a ruler between the. Duko Montpensier and the ex-Queen Tsabella. Don Carlos entered Spein on Thursday last. The Carlists are working vigorously to advance the interests of their leader. Saragossa is practically blockaded by the in- surgents. ‘The insurrectionists have cut the railway betwoon this city, north, and the town of Burgos. Among the mensures contemplated by the Ministry aro tho separation of tho Church and Stato, and the appointment of Judyes for life. Castelar, Minister of Foreign Affairs, ina de- spateh acknowledging the receipt of congratula- tions from Sonth Americans in_ Paris, says that thoy will have to withdrew their support from the Cuban scparatists, now that the Antilles are under Republican Government. He also says it has been decided to await the arrival of Depu- ties to the National Assembly from Cuba beforo arrangemcdts for reforms in that island aro made. The Government intends to suppress the Ministries of the Colonies, Justico, and Pub- Tic Works, and abolish the systam of retiring on ‘ponsions. The sppointment of Paia to_the chiof com- mand of the troops in Catalonia is denied. It is s3id, however, that ho will be appointed to au- other command equal in prominence. The Ogicial Gazette will soon publish & decree for the reorganization of the mlitin. Tiie reports that an Alfonsist pronunciamento Lies been issued in_the southwestern portion of Bpain is pronounced untruo. Despaiches havo been recoived here from New York, stating that somo of the jonrnals of that city publish articles assuming thiat the ostablish- mont of tho Ropublic must lead to the indepen- donce of ‘Cuba. This view ia emphatically de- clared, in Ministerial circles, to e erroncous. Notwithstanding the other very important mat- ters pressing npon tho Government, their atten- tion ‘has already been given to the subject of maintaining the authority of Spain in Cuba. In the Assembly, Lo-day, bills wero read grant- ing amnesty to prifoners charged with complici- tyin the recent Republican demonstrations; laring that juetice shall hereafter bo adminis- tered in the neme of the people. ‘Echegarry, Minister of Finance, declared that tho financial obligutions of Spain shall be re- spected. The declaration was greeted with cheers. Ho said the Republican Government was interested in maintaining the credit of the nation, and * Respect for right” will be its motto. Alontemar has resigned as Minister to Italy. Missionaire will probubly succeed him. The representatives to England aud Portugal remein at their posta. WALL STREET.

The banks were mever before in this condition at this season. The fact that they are mow 80 poor in reserve i3 sated tobe due to the severo contraction last yoar of tho 3 per cont certificates, and by the unusually heavy ship- ments of specie within tho last_six montks, which in turn was canzed by the fact that Eu- ropo took fow American sccurities during the Iatter part of 1872, Many vessels delayed by stormy weather .ar- rived this weel, increasing the imports and cus- toms duties. .

For some timo the heaters at the Bridgoport Rolling Mills have grumbled at their pay. They heve twice threatened to strike, but the number of men such action would throw out of employ- ment has disguaded them from oxecuting their threat. At one time it was feared they would do violence to the works Last night their dissatisfaction culminated in an_enthusiastic moeting, in which a resolution was unanimously passed that.the heaters, numbering twenty men P all, would cease work until their demands wero satisfied. Thoy demanded an increase of wages, and also that the Company re- Ceive ' back to its servico & °men named _ William Jones, who was re- contly discharged. It was intimated that this man’s discharge is tho cause of the whole diffi- culty. Just whst these heaters demand in tho Wy of wages could not be escertained last night, because of tho Inteness of the hour, 8s also the fact that tho striltéra wero very reticent Tegarding their de- mands and intenfions, oxcopt that thoy are sll Yery open and poeitive in deolaring that they will not resume work to-morzow.
