Kinderling, of the Prussian Royal Navy, with the sloop-of-war Augusta, te reconmoiter im the sen of the Antilles. He selected the port of Limon, Costa Rica, as the Dest adapted for the purpose. and a communi- ation was addressed by Mr. Lahmann, the Prussian Consul, to the Government of Costa Rica, proposing a negotiation for the grant of | the port to the Prussian Government. The Costa Rican Goverament, however, refused to accede to the solicitation so flatteringly | Presented, and made a pointed allusion | to the “Monroe Doctrine,” the prin. @iples of which are declared im the an- Swer to be “acknowledged by all America. ‘The result of the affair is considered. in Di- Plomatic circles, as decidediy complimentary to Mr. Seward’s diplomacy, in upholding the Monroe Doctrine; and in the contrast afforded by his success in negetinting for the parchase of St.Thomas, St Johns, and the Bay of Sa- mana. ‘Tre Hover To-Day.—An attempt was made im the House during the merning hour. to pass the vill subsidizmg the Commercial and Navi- gation Steamship Company between NewYork and Bremen; but this was so amended tha: it Only authorizes the Postmaster General to con- tract with the steamship line tocarry American mails.

It appears that he is a very prominent member of the whiskey ring, and forwarded to Woolley a large sum of money during the im. peschment trial, which he claimed was to be used in settling cyrtain cases in the re@Pnue de- partment. This was his testimony yesterday. ‘The Committee, however, came into possession Of two telegrams which presented the case in ‘smother aspect, and hence Schwab was again Botified to appear before them.

In. stead of censuring Kusserow. he has been Fecalled and transferred to the Cou-t ot St. James, and is promoted to a bigher posi- tion than that he filled in Washington. This Action of the Prussian Government has caused considerable comment in diplomaue circles, and the motives which caused Kusserow’s pro- Motion are actively discussed.

Chief Justice Chase on the Situation. The following confidential letter, says the correspondent of the New York Herald, from Chief Justice Chase to a personal friend, has been handed to me. It so distinctly marks the present position and sentiments of Mr. Chase ‘on important political questions, that I do not feel at liberty to withhold its pablication: WASHINGTON, May 25, 1568.—My Dear Sir. ‘You are right in believing that I «shall never jon the great principles for the success of wi have given my entire life.” I adhere to my “old creed of equal rights,” without one jot or tittle of abatement. I shall be glad if nae of that creed adhere to it as i 'y- 1 am amazed by the torrent of invectives by which lam drenched. Almosteverything al- leged as tacts is falsehoods out of the whole cloth. Where an allegation has a little fact in it the fact is so perverted and travestied that it becomes falsehoods. I know no motive for all this except disappointment that impeach- ment has not thus far proved a success, coupled with a belief that I have done something to prevent its being a success. I have not been a partisan of impeachment certainly; fout I have not been @ partisan on the other side. siding officer over the trial, my conscience tes- tifles that I have been strictly im ;and I ese ee ere Teport will say so. Indi ally I have my convictions and opinions, but I very seldom gave utter. ance tothem. Indeed, I donot think that the case, m any of its aspects, has been the subject of conversation between myselt tour or five Senators, and FORTIETH CONGRESS. This Afternoon’s Proceedings, ‘Weowespay, June 10. SENATE.—The Chair laid before the Senate & communication from the Secretary of t! Interior, enclosing a Lieut. General Sherman copy of a Felative to certain In- Gixms. Referred to the Uommittee on Indian Affairs. Mr. eg, presented & petition trom citi- zens of New York, sexing ee Tepeal of all provisions which prevent issuing of writs against collectors of the revenue. Referred to Finance Committee. | aes from U. S. Mr. Sumner presented a jurors in Massachusetts, Asking an increase of pay. Mar. Howard presented similar petitions from U.S. jurors in Michigan. Mr.Conkling would suggest that the theory in the early days of the Government and the theory now was that the juror was not to re+ ceive pay in money for his services, but that they were to be in the form of a contribution to eral weltare, bis compensation being ia the increased safety of the people, and in the information which they obtained. Mr. Sumner.—In listening to the lawyers. Mr. Conkling.—Yes, in listening te the law- ers. He was sorry that the Senator had so ittle veneration for the lawyers. The petitions were then ref tothe Ju- dic: ‘Committee. ‘Mr. Ramsey, from the Committee on Post Uf. fices, reported’ the bill to amend the act to pro- vide for the carrying of mails between the ports of the United States, (It rescinds the section which imposes the prepayment of let- ter postage on newspapers sent between the States and the Territories west of Kansas, ex- cept on newspapers sent from the office of pub- lication to regular subscribers. } Mr. Sherman thought there was no injustice in requiring this outside newspaper matter to pay the increased price, Ifthe bill was passed the contractors wouid next want a large in- crease of their compensatien, in view of the pod addition which would be made to the mails. Mr. Conness did not think there should be any increase asked for. This measure of re- lief was due tothe people of the Territories, who now needed as much reading matter as the people of the States. This rate had been originally fixed because the overland mail was carried by coaches, but now that the Pacitic railroad was rapidly approaching completion; the cost of mail transportation would be mucb cheaper. Mr. Sherman ingvired when the present con- tracts expired. Mr. Ramsey.—On the 13th of September. Mr. Conkling would like to know whether the Pacific railroad would be completed by that time, and if not, how the contract would be made any cheaper Mr. Harlan said the Committee thought it was due to the people of the remote States and Territories that they should not pay higher postal rates than those Of the other States, Mr. Corbett said if there was any increased cost it would not Inst more than a year. Mr. Morrill, ot Vermont, then offered an Amendment tnat the bill shall take effect on September 30, 1869, which was disagreed to; ayes, 17; nays, 30. The bill was then passed. Mr. Wiison introduced a bill for the organi- zation, government, and payment of the army.

The report was concurred in; and the bill for the admission of North Carolina and other States was taken up. The question was on the amendment of Mr. Sherman to strike out that portion of the bill declaring null and void certain provisions of the constitution of Georgia. House or REPRESENTATIVES.—Mr. Moor- bead, (Pa.,) from the Committee ot Ways aud Means, reported a bill, prepared by a sub-com- mittee of said committee, to increase the reve- hues from duties on imports. and to tend to equalize exports and imports.

Miller, Mullins, Maynard, and other members, a£ to the past political status of these m Mr. Paire replied generally that though they had been implicated in the rebellion they were now true and loyal men, and were so endorsed by the delegation to Congress from Arkansas After discussion, the bill was passed by a two-third vote.

The Gamte says: Barret met his fate firmly. preterring to die as a martyr in the eyes of efTrisb than to make & confession of bis guilt. The svene is thus described by the London Times: “Calcraft (the executioper) and Bar- rett each bad a horribly noisy reception direct- ly they appeared. T! —— burst of groaning which greeted ‘the detachment of metro] itan police joining the city constables in the enclosed space before the gallows became palling when the hangman was recognized. ‘Eas put him there instead!’ ‘Shame; +Down with Bim,’ «Bab, bab, murder, bab; are bat a few of the articulate sounas heard from the windows of the Old Bailey and mnging in the doomed man’s ears at the supreme moment. But even these were lost in the excited and congratulatory cheers for Barrett. Nor were more touching +vidences of sym- pathy wanting. Hanging over the barrier im- mediately opposite the gallows, and supported on either side by a female friend, was the half faintng figure of a young woman of some four or five and twenty. Her decent demeanor and modest air won even upon the brutal natures around her and a couple of genuine London Troughs kept back their comrades by entreaties, and when necessary by blows. Whateyer her relationship or knowledge of Barrett may have been, there could be no doubt of the genaine- ness of her emotion this morning. Deadly white, with clenched lips, and hands which clung to the wooden barrier before her with the tenacity of a drowning man, she succeeded in controlling berself until the drop actually tell. When Barrett «ppeared on the scaffold the women supporting her redoubled their consolatory efforts, and her bleached face and wistful air became intensified in their expres- sions, But when his face was cove she gave way, and at the fatal moment fell pros- trate, and lay in @ passion of hysterical grief, dead to the noises and blind to the sights near him, and conscious only of the gallows and its doubtfal mission. When the first sound of the bells came. a great, hangry roar from the crowd outside, and a loud, continued shout of “Hats off !” till the whole dense, bare-headed mass stood white and ghastly looking in the morning sun. and the pressure on the barriers increased so that the girls and women in the front ranks began to scream and struggle to get free. Amid such Ascene as this, and tetore such a dense crowd of white faces, Bartett was executed. His clergyman came first. Barrett mounted the steps with the most perfect firmness. This may seem & stereotyped phrase, but it really means more than is generally imagined. To ascend a ladder with one’s arms and hands closely pinioned would be at allftimes difficult. but to climb a ladder to go to certain death. might try the nerves of the boldest. Barrett walked up coolly and boldly. His face was as white as marble, but <till he bore himseif with firmness, and his demeanor was as far re- moved from bravado as of fear. We would not dwell on these details, but from the singu- lar reception he met as he came out upon the scatlold. There was a partial burst of cheers. which Was instantly accompanied by loud hisses, and so it remained for some seconds, till as the !ast moment approached the roars dwin- dled down toa dvad silence. To neither cheers nor hisses did the culprit make the ieast recoz- nition. He seemed only attentive to what the priest was saying to him, and to be engaged in fervent prayer. : ‘The hangman instantly put the cap over his tace aud the rope around his neck. Then Bar- Felt, turning. spoke through bis cap, aud asked for the rope to be altered. which the hangman did In another moment Barrett was a dead man. After the bolt was drawn and the drop fell with the loud boom which always echos from it. Barretunever moved. He died without astruggle. It is worthy of remark that a great cry arose from the crowd as the culprit fell,s cry which was neither an exclamation or 4 scream. but it partook im its sound of both. With fall of the drop the crowd began to di=perse, but an immense mass warted tll the time for cutting down came, and when mine o'clock struck there were loud cails of “Come on boty snatcher “Take away the n you've killed!” &. The hangman appeared and cnt down the body amid sucha storm of yells and execrations as bas seldom been heard even from such a crowd. There was nothing more then to be seen, so the concourse broke up with its usual concomitants of assault and robbery. The body was placed in a shell and removed te an adjoining building in the presence of the sheriffe and under sheriffs, the Governor. the prison surgeon, and the ordinary. There the Tope having been removed from the neck, and the leather straps by which the legs and arms had been pinioned, the Surgeon certified that lite was extinct. The expression of the face was marvellousiy serene and placid, and the features com} toa degree irreconcilable at first sight with the notion of a violent death, though the lips and parts of the forenead were unusually livid. Towards the evening the body was buried in the accustomed place with- in the precincts of the prison, ina grave up- wards of five teet deep, in the presence of the Governor and other officers of the jail. The Working Pe In New York, the journeymen bakers, whose preparations to demand an increase of wages ave been previously mentioned. are now part on strike, and part on the point of striking. Union No, i, numbering 870 men, are already on @ strike, and have appointed a vigilance committee of ten for each ward iu the city, to watch the several shops closely and see whether any new men were put in their places, and if so not to sliow such men to proceed. The increase demanded is an addition of 3 per week to present wages, and $5 per week extra for board, and only twelve hours’ labor per day. This, it is estimated, would raise the wages about as follows:—Of foremen, from $21 to $22; first hands, from $!7 10 $15. and of second hands from $13 to $15, Union No.1 will pay $10 per week to mar- Tied men and $s to single men during the —— of the strike. — who receiv imcrease of wages have agreed to devote the whole or a portion thereof to support non-society men who may be idle, but ‘who, by enrolling themselves on the society, shall agree not to interfere with the strikers. Union No. 2, numbering 240 mex, made a demand of the same terms as No. | from the master-bakers, and being refused are beginning to rite dic It is asserted that, in afew all bosses will agree to the ad- vance asked, and thus end the strike with the least loss in time and money to themselves and their employes.
