THE ConsrtRacy AWARD.—In the case of Baker et. al. agt. the Corporation of Washing- ton et. al., brought some months since in the Equity Court fora distribution of the award of $20,000 offerea by the city for the arrest of the assassinatvon conspirators, aud in which Judge Olin dismissed the bill, an appeal has been taken to the Court in General term. In this case several important questions come up, among others the power of the Corporation to ofier a reward for such s purpose; end the right of officers of the Government to share in Tewards for the execution of their duty. Tue WesTern Union Tateanara Orrice wrs to-day removed from its old quarters to the more commodious building on the corner of Pennsylvonit avenue and Fourteenth s.reet, The New York Associated Press office has also been removed 19 the same building, having its front on Pennsylvania avenue, on the ground floor. This institution was introduced here about sixteen, or peraaps eighteen years 90 but. it was nox until 1:54 thatan office was ed—tn Brown's Hotel buildrag—and in of 1866 x 2: ylvania avenue, near Four-sud-a. Agent had no fixed or partiontar » ud there was little for him to a compared to the present business of the office. Tren, the force consis.ed of himself oaly, if we excent the reporter in the Senate and the re- porter in the House of Representatives. But as he New York Associatea Press extended its field of operations, consequent on the increxse of telegraph facilities, the office in th‘s city beeame more important. In 1854 Mr. Gobright was furnished with an assistant anda massen- ger boy, by whom all the businc3:, apart from the reporting of Congressional proceedings, was transacted. Within several years past, however, the force has been augmented, and now there is am agent and two assistanis, besides a gentleman, who nearly altogether attends to preparing and forwarding telegrams to the Southern papers aud a messenger. We congratulate our venerable yet youthfal friend Gobright, who has attendea to the interests of the Associated Press 0 faithfully fo¥ these many years, that he is now placed in such convenient and pleasant quarters. May live to report the proceedings of the Hi dred and forty-first Congress, and his shadow increase with his years! ‘Most of the newspaper correspondents are now in the immediate locality of the main office ofthe Western Union Telegraph Company—« News- paper Row” being in the same block, on 1ith street. No business}srrangement could be more acceptable to its occupants, as, under the old order of things, the distance 0 a mile sepa- rated the correspondents and the telegraph office. Now, they are nearly in gpnjunction. A busy set—these newspaper people, espe. cwlly at might, when they return to tneir respective offices to put into shape their day. time and evening gatherings. ‘Truly, the lines” have “fallen” to them “in Pleasant places.” EXPENSES OF THE GOVERNVENT.—The war- rants issued by the Department dur. th of April, to meet the require- tfots of the Government ‘amounted to in round numbers, the following sums :—Civil, miscellaneous and foreign interco: 36,250,~ eer aay ane Taian aan BF 0,000: ‘¥y oe totale Genet pensi Indians,) $2¥ .

In the matter of submitting the constitution to a vote of the people, ne (General Lee.) thought that separate votes should be taken on the disfranchising clause and on several ciauses relating to questions of @localnature., He was also of the opinion that it was of the utmost importance thatthe severat States should be brought into practical relu- tions with the federal government at once, in crder to secure representation in both branches ot Congress, and when that was accomplished he was sure all other questions wonla readily adjust themselves. He said had informed the President that he did not upon the adoption of the fifteenth amendment with sach fearful forebodingsas had been done by leading of the North and South. He said the inter- view was an exceedingly pleasant one, and that the President a su him be would always be giad to see bia. Tae Inpran War IN ALASKA—DISCOVERIES .N THAT TEERITORY, &c —The Navy Depart- ment to-day received dispatches trom Kear- Admiral T. T. Craven, commanding North Pacific squadron, dated Mare Isiand, Cal., March ‘ist. enclosing reports from Commander R. W. Mecd, jr., of bis operations in Aluska, where is vessel (the S»zimaw) has been sta. tioned. Among those reports is one relative to the d+ structionof certain villages and stockaded forts belonging to the Kuke Indtaus, as a pun- ishment for tue murder of two American tra- cers—Ludwig Manger and Wm. Walker—in December iast, whom the Indians claimed to have killed in revenge for the murder of an Indian killed by a United States soldier, The expedition which « and forts was uw in McIntire, and consisted of 17 soldiers. aw first destroyed a settlement on land, and on the 16th of February she troyed the villages at Kupieauof Isiand, and on the next day the salmon fisheries and two stockaded forts at Security Bay. The Kakes have jong been netoriou & bad tribe, and their murder of Mr. Enbey (U.S. Cullec- tor) and the crew of the Royal yea bad never been avenge. Commander Meade reports that during this expedition he entered a bay on the northwest end of Kon Island, which, .rom its advantages as a harbor, he named Security Bay, an excel. Jent rendezvous for a whaling fleet. He also discovered fresb fields of coal at Kootz-na-bo>, one seam being five feet wide. It can be worked only a: low water. He teels perfectly satisfied that Kootz-na-boo Archipelago is a vast field of coal. Owing to its being highly charged wiih resinous material, the ceal is considered dan- gerous on ship board, and great care has to be exercised with it. —_-re-__. ENGAGEMENTS IN Mexico.—Reports from Mexico tate that an engagement bad occurred at Tamazula, in aloa, between the Govern- under (Jen. Dara, and the insar. gents, under Col. Palacio, in which tue former Jost wo hundred. men, and that the Govern- iment forces had been seriously crippled by de- sertions. Joaquim Contreras, of Durango, has pronounced in favor of Palacio. If tortnae javers Palacio for a month, it is Stated, it is probable he will succeed ti establishing the long desired Northwestern Contederacy. A Mexican guerrilla chief made 4 descent oa a small town near the Lajo mine, liberated the prisoners there, and with them levied a coutri- bution of $30 on the miners.

On account of the inciem- ent weather ibe procession of prelates could not march from the residence to the Church yesterday rs intenaed. The crowd began to gather at the Cethedral long before ten o clock, tbe hour at which the services commenced, but a suitable police force was on hand to keep the entrances aud porticos clear. Every seat in the building was soon occupied, and by ten o'clock the aisles were densely crowded by ladies apd gentlemen unable to obtain seats. ‘The Grand Altar was profusely decorated with pacural flowers, and lighted with many condies, ‘Mass was commenced at ten o'clock, the pro- cession entering the sanctuary {rom the sacristy. Firet came a large number of semiaanans from the various colleges in Baltimore, all attired in black cassock and white surplice; next came the cross bearer and acolytes; they were fol- lowed by the clergy, actired in the vestments in which mass is celebrated; then followed the officers of the Council in tull vestments and cope; then came the Bishops in their Episcopai Tobes, mitre, and crozier, each one tollowed by train bevrers. The seminarians were assigned to seats iumediately outside of the sanctuary rail, the ciergy to the seats in the sanctuary, the officers of the Coune:1 immediately in tron? of the aitar, and the bishops on a dais up each side of the altar, with the train bearers at their seet holding the crovier. The Archbishop was the last to enter, and occupied his seat mpon the espiscopal throne to the rigat of the altar. Tuere were seated within the sanctuary, and immediately in. front thereot one aichbishop, tw bisbops, about foriy priests, forty-five Tiaus, sud twenty-five train be are!

The immense choir was composed of an or- chesiza of thirty pieces and fort whole under the direction of Prof. As the proce*sion of prelai teary, the orchestra performed the Grand Ea tre March, composed for the occasion by Pro: J. Linebard. The celebrant having recit d the Con) tor, the ceremony of iucensing altar was periormed by the celebrnt and his assisia.ts. hen followed Gloria in Ezrelsis Deo, reading of the Epistie, Gospe!, &c.. aiter which the cele- brant took bis se.., and the pulpit was drawn out preparatory to the sermon by Kight Rev. Bishop Gibbons. Bishop Gibbons read the Gospel trom the 16th chapter of St. Mark, and delivered a very able sermon, of which we give a brief synop- sis. He referred to the opening aad closing scenes of tbe Council. and the fact that the youthful and vigorous West was agam vend. ing its greetings to the far-otf East. In nuor- ing the two great ponuff=, St. Mark and St. Athana-ins, upon whose festivals the Coun- cil had opened and closed, they at the same time proclaimed the universality of the Cath- olic Charch and the unchangeableness of Cath- lic doctrine. The same Gospel taught by S' Mark was to-day professed by ali Catholics, aud the same creed defined by Si \thanesius Was believed by them. This great uoctor,during bis long and eventfal career, had raised bis powertnl voice Bud wielded Mis pea in defenca of the Church. and were he standing before us to-day would detend with the same z~a! the y of God’s Church, because that Chareh ibe spouse of Unrist. and partook his Divinity.
