C., April 2L.—The Adminis- tration to-day received the most peaceful assur- ance asto the outlook in New Orleans. , There is everyindication that the removal of the troops - on Tuesday will be accompanied by no violence. - The President considers the Southern quiestion 25 ended, and believes that the policy of his Administration will bé vindicated. .The policy in brief is to allow every State -Government to settle its own quarrels in its own wa¥, provided it keeps the pescé. Althongh' Packard may' - consider that the withdrawsl of the troops from the support of his Government is equivalent .to a rccognmition of the - legality of Nicholls, the Administration does not con- cede this. On the Contrary, the President’s ad- vistrs maintain that_in thé adjustment Which secures & single, Legislature, Nicholls? title - ks NOT BEEN PASSED UPON. That matter 38left for the Legislature of. the * State, which_alone, undér the Constitution of - the United States, it is claimed, has thi¢ rizht to *eall upon the President for aid. The siatus quo * which the {roops had -maintained was a condi- _tion of asoparchy. They have been . removed now, , and that aparchy has ceased’ upon ~the organization .of 8 legal’ Legislature. - The President still ioclines to the opinion * that the peonls of Louisiana may bave consider- 2 gble difficulty in’ adjusting thic statds of the ‘ jivil Supreme Courts. - Notwithstinding . the : );eaeeful assurances conveyed to-the President * from Louisiana, several gentlemen who "have . talked with him to-day say that'he - 5 SPEMS SOMEWHAT PREOCCUPIED. . * 25 th the Eituation, and is not dear in'his ownl 7' inind that some disturbances may not be at- «tempted npon the withdrawal of :the -troops. These disturbances might consist of a mob get them out, but owing to the fearful Tolling of . the. ship and the ,rapidity with which the flames spread the efforts were unavailing, and it is almost certain they perish- ed.in the flames. The only other passenzer was Ernest Papendick, of New York, who, aroused by the commotion on _deck, came up, and thus got into one of the life-boats. -Capt. Daniels, with his party, who were forward, managed to lower the liferaft, when twelve of the crew. besides” himself succeeded in getting aboard. The stewardess, who was on deck, wus called to to jump to the raft, and 1o attenpting 1o do so fell into the sea; and, notwithstanding every cflort:was made to sccure her, she was drowned. The persons on the raft werc hud- dled together in_-a °cramped position, nearly naked, _cold, . and shivering. One heavy sca capsized the raft, throwing the occupantsinto the sea. They scrambled up on it again, except ouc, Martin ) cQuade; who was Jost., After o mos horrible time drifting at the _mercy of the wnvasi the men were cheered by ‘the sight of a vessel bearing down upon-them, which in a short time took. them all oft. The Captain _ of * the receiving ship _ dis- covered the burning ship, hore towards her and thus came upon the raft., Owing to the darkness and terrible surroundings the rescucd party saw nothing of those who got into the life-boats,.

He gave it personally to the ' Attorney-General, and never showed it or told its contents to any one. Gave no information about it to' the World’s reporter. No one is to see it excépt the Attorney-General and whatever gentlemen he Inight be under the necessity of calling in, un- less it is used.

This was at first inténded to buy a house in Fiftn avenue, but he could not recollect. liow much of that sum, i€ any, was cxpended for that purpose. Part of the amount was a loan, of which a portion was paid back. He objects to the Commitiee peep- ing into private affairs. He was willing to give information on the Woodin question, but sould rather not entér mto HIS PRIVATE AFFAIRS. © o His banker, Mr. Van Schaick, had all the memoranda. In .common With most of the newspapers then his journal favored the Tweced charter, He was in Albany two_ or: three {imes fn 3 week during the passage of the char- ter. - He was in communication with Tweed dur- ing the time the matterwas talked over, It is probable he spoke to a number of Senators in favor of the charter. He is not certain tnat he spoke to Woodin on the subject.. Tweed. knew he was fn_hurmony with the bitl, and was using his influence for it, Could not revoliect talking ‘to Woodin about it, or any ‘conversation with Tweed asking his influence. He was sure he was not asked by any _oue .to use his influence with Woodin. Republicans were ini the minority and could not' get a charter of their own, There was Tweed, Sweeney; Hall, and Connolly and the Young Democraty, headed by Geuet, ngainst them. : He has uo recollec- tion of the amount of consideration in the way dedline to accede to my client’sreleasé from im- prisonment, 1 can conceive of 1o possible ad- vantage that this proposition could be to the public,- beyund_ the. _moral effect of the full: puolication of ity uuless’ it could ef- the punishment of offenders and the. , fefovery ofimoney.

Tilden wwas 1IN RECEIPT OF MONETS FROM TWEED to bring about the results of 1863. He stated this from general information; but he could not cay so of his own knowledge. During the Tiveed trial it was proved that Tilden recovered $5,000 for clection purposes. . . it was agreed that 21l reference to Tilden e stricken [rom the minutcs... Witness said he did not deliver one dollar’s worth of stock to any memUerof the Legislature, either in 1870 or 1871, or at any other time. There wasno un- derstanding-with Tweed at any time as to the disposition of the moneys received from him. The money-was for himself alone. . Mr. Hastings offcred to cxplain his reference to Tilden, and, alfer some opposition, he stated TILDEN HAD TRIED TO INJURE HIN and his family by circulating stories of a damag- ing character as to this $20,000 check. “Then,” said Senator Schoonmaker, *you acknowledge the animus?” “No, I dou't; but Iacknowledge the provo- cation.” .

Mr. Winslow begged hard of, tic Committee to be examined. He said several papers, par- ticularly. Democratic ones, had reported him as left for Canada, o’ runaway, and, as his testi- ‘mony would be short,-he wanted to be exam- ined at once. £ : The fnvestization was adjourned till Mouday, when Winslow and, Van Schiick: will be ex- amined.

Chiefs Standiug Elk and Dull Knife, surrendered here to-day about 10°a. m. The ir- regular cavaleade of over a mile in length came ju sight on the blufis porth of the Agency. Camp equipage; papooses, and dogs, were ludicrously _mingled _in_ the long .. train of a hundred travols, - while many sqiiaws and children were trudging slong on foot. When the savages reached the broad bot- toms of White Karth River, ueac the Agency, the mon-combatants” were left to put up the tepees, and nihety young warriors rode forward to the position. oceupied by Gen. Crook and staff and Gen. Forsythe. The warriors were formed in four companies, each: cornpany in single line, with skirmishers on either flank. The latter saluted by discharging their fire-arms, uttering territic whoops, and dashing to and fro at a headlonz speed on fresh war po- nies. The main body rode up to the General in perfect order, but chanting the surrender or desth song. Here Standing-Elk, Dull-Knile, and two other chieftains dismounted, and said they wanted to surrender to Geu. Crook, and give their guns to him personally. As Stand- ing-Ells handed his tine Winchester _rifle to the Gerieral he said: “I want to shake hinds with yom, and give you my gZun. All of my people here will give you their guns. We want to bury the hatchet now, nmfi‘:’uiz fighting.” The warriors then rode back to their camp by the river, Here they sat around in a duzen or more circles, and disdained to move ungil the squaws had raised theii tepees and prepared something toeat. -.". - The ponies surrendercd namber about 700. In other property this band is wniserably poor. The tepees are made of dozens of strips 0f tan- vas, worn-out blankets, erain-sacks, and skins of wild animals, while few rich articles of attire .| and adornment so commonly found upon the hostiles are to be'seen. | . - The cause of this ulmlor and wretcheduness is admitted by them to be the terrible defeat they suffered at .the hands ol Gen. Crook’s forces. instances . their villages were totally destroyed by the torch, themselves set on foot in severe winter weather, and no. chance given recuperate. Their loss in_captured ponies at those battles numbered nearly 1,000. 2 They; are. recognized by zil frontiersmen as being better Aghters and . more implacable than their Sioux allies. Their complete subjection in the short period of thirtecn mouths is all the more worthy of nute when the great odds in their favor and almost insurmountable dif- ficulties cocountered by the troops are cou- sidered. Only ahout 100 of the Cheyennes now remain out, and these are reported on their way to the Toneue River Cantonment to surrender. The latest runser in from Crazy. Horse's band says that it is still slowly progressing in this direction, and will arrive here in_about twelve days. e delay is partly attributable to the fact that Crazy Horse has becn endeavoring-to gather up some hunting parties 50 that alicould come in together. S Col. Stanton, Paymaster, is disbursing funds to-day to the troops under Capt. Vroom, who have just returned from. a two-mouths scout in the-Black Hills. 4 R ————— CANADA.
