Francis THomas, of Md., who has been lying ill for several days at Cumberland, is said to be recovering. Rev. Sects MaRrrx is to take an active part in the deliberations of the International Labor Congress, to be held next autumn in Paris. Some oprosition is being developed against the confirmation of Judge Bond, of Baltimore. for the Fourth Circuit, partly on the ground of his want of judicial fitness for the place. WELLINGTON Brown has been appointed a Railway Post Office Clerk between Washington D. C., and Weldon, N. C., with pay at $1,200 per annum. Govznwor WaLKeR, of Va., arrived here last night, intending to attend the meeting of the Society of the Army of the Potomac in Phila- ‘delphia to-day, but is detained here by ind:s- position. | THE Case or A. A. BRADLEY.— Yesterday the motion for the admiswion of A. A. Bradiey, coloréd, to the bar of the United States Sa- preme Court was withdrawn by Mr. Riddle, and certain papers handed the Court in his behalf returned to him. AT A MEETING of government clerks yester- day @ petition to Congress was agreed upon, and will be cireulated for signatures in the dit- ferent departments, asking that the income tax may not be deducted from their salaries during the year 1570. A RUMOR has obtained circulation to the ef- feet that Mr. Connor, the newly admittee Re- Presentative from Texas, has challenged Mr. Shanks tor words spoken in debate when the admission of the Texas members was up in the House a few daysago. The report is not, how- ever, generally believed. GEN. BUTLER hopes to get his St. Domingo annexation resolution before the House on Mon- day.. It provides for the annexation of St. Do- mingo as the Territory of Dominica, with the consent of the Dominicans, and it further pro- vides for the payment of $1,350,770.09, and no more, to liquidate tne debt of the new Territory. Rare PLANTS FROM AUSTRALIA.—Mr. Wm. R. Smith, Superintendent of the Botanica) Gardens, has just received from Prot. Asa Gray of Cambridge, Massachusetts, a large collection of rare plants, fllustrative of the trees an: shrubs of Australia, which, together with th: variegated flowers already in bloom there, mak: @ most gorgeous floral display. ‘THE REconsTRvcTION Comittee this morn- ing heard Gov. Senter, of Tennessee, as to the condition of affairs in that State. He was non- committal as to the policy which should be pur- sued, although he threw out a suggestion that if the Government wonld furnish him with treops he would be able to maintain peace in the State. He will be further examined on Tucs- day next. ’ Tre Leoat Texver Ducision.—Hon. J. B. Beck, member of Congress from Kentucky, yesterday moved in the Supreme Court for the re-opening of the Hepburn-Griswold case, the leading legal tender case decided at the present term. Hon. C. R. Potter, who argued the case, maintaining the unconstitutionality of the Legal Tender acts, proceeded to address the Court, but was reminded by the Chief Justice that the motion was not debateable. The motion was taken under advisement. MUTUAL AGREEMENT IN THE RicHMoND MaroraLtY Case.—Yesterday, the counsel for Mesers. Cahoon and Ellyson, the rival claimant- for the mayoralty of Richmond, signed an agree- ment, at thé request of Chief Justice Chase, to postpone further action in the ease until the May term of the United States Circuit Court for Virginia, and that the present cendition of affairs continue until that time—none of the Tighte of either party, says the agreement, to be impaired by the postponement. Chief Justice Chase, it was further agreed, would attend the session of the court at Richmond to hear the argument. A copy of the agreoment is to be transmitted te Judge Underwood. ‘The attorneys for the contesting Mayors leave for home to-day, feeling satistied that the agree- ment made to let the matter stand until the 1st of May is a wise one, as it will avoid bad feeling likely to arise from pursuing the processes is- sued by Judge Underwood. According to the agreement Chief Justice Chase wili be present when the question comes up in May, whether Judge Bond shall be contirmed in the mean time or not. TuE FUNERAL or GEN.

After our report of the trial of McFarland closed yesterday, Mr. Spencer concluded his opening arguihent for the defence with a glow- ing appeal to the jury to stand by the defeudant and uphold the sanctity of the domestic bear: James McFarland, brother of the defendan then testified as to the latter's age, (50 years,) trade, (that of a tailor,) travels, and ultimate studies, fessorship, marriage, children, (Jessie, Daniel, and Percy.) aud finally the change that came over him with his troubles. Lillie Grau, a niece of manager Grau, testified that McFarland rented a room at her mothers, where he lived with Percy, cooked his own meals, and that a gentleman called at twelve o'clock one night, a week before the homicide, and was with him some time, and that McFar- land went out one morning about one o'clock —— week, and returned in about an our. Testimony was introduced to show that one “Francis McFarland, tailor, Ireland,” had been contined -1a a lunatic asylum on Blackwell's Island, but a question as to the resemblance of that person to the prisoner at the bar was ex- we by the prosecution. John O'brien, a clerk at the Westmoreland House, at which McFarland engaged a room the night after the homicide, testified as to the wild, irrational manner of the prisoner at the time. Evidence was introdaced identifving the letter intercepted by McFarland from Richardson to his wife. The following is the letter: Envelope addressed, Mrs. A. 8S. McFarland, care Samuel Sinclair, Esq., Tribune office, New York; city post mark, Hartford, Conn., March 9th, and on the back are initials, A.D.

I mailed you the Atlantic for March to No.72. ‘Chis I'send in care ot Mrs. S.—hoping that youmy get it to-mor- row. Don’t be disturbed abont your family, little girl. Families always expect accomplished jacts. ‘My hobby, you know.’ [ once outrages mine a great deal more than you ever can yours, and they are the straightest sect of partisans. but time made it allcorrect.

Please remember that it onght to have plenty of ha- mor, and that it must havesome horrors. If you recol] from them you shall do them, darling. I smiled at my being pinmg and hurt. Why, lam like a man who has got rid of his elephant. I weigh 185 pounds, and am Renter neared than I have been for years. Indeed I teel as if a weight had been lifted from me even be- fore your sweet love came to sweeten and bless my life. All the trouble was that she thought she could not let me go. Long ago, when she and I first came ther, I said to her, we will make 10 vows to loveeach other always; of that we cannot tell. I will only exact that you tell the perfect truth, whether it keeps us together or separates us.’ God helping me | ” She tried to, but the leopard could not change its spots, and she did her best, and was very tender and loving, and have nothing in the world to complain of. If you had come to me, little girl, it would have made no difference there; that scene was ended long ago, It will rather startle Mrs. S.; wontit, darling? I think she will like tin theend. Rosie’s letter is very graceful and kind, and [am very glad you go, for it will do you very much good. It is a great. breezy, restful place. What a goosie it is about my coming home. Of course f shall whenever my business compels or will let me. What judgment shall you fear, doing no wrong? The circumstances make it right and unnoticeable. and I will not stay away for 40,000 Mrs. Grundy’s. I will not neglect work -to come. but its quite possible I may have to come next week. I have not. been waiting for darling, ‘all these long years to wear fot and sere seven years. Now I want you always. A hun- dred times a day my arms seem to stretch out toward you. I never seek my pillow without Wanting to fold you to my heart for a good-night kiss and blessing, and the tew mouths betore you can openly be mine will be long enough at it. No grass shall grow under my fests but I never let public opinion bully me a bit, and ~~ mean po preemegre i shatl come when- ever I can and stay as jong as business will - mit. I will decide about the summer deat aa soon as I ca, darling; can probabiy surmise by Monday or Tuesday. Darling I should be airaid it you had fascinated me ina day or week. ‘The trees which grow in an hour have no deep roots. Ours I believe to be no love of a noonday hour, but for all time. Only qne love ever so slowly into my heart as yours has, and that was so tender and blessed that heaven needed and took it, my darling. Yon are all I would have you; exactly what I would have you in mind, body and estate, and my tired heart finds infinite test and riches, and sweetness. Good night, my love, my own, my wife.

Mr. re, alluded to the great value of the trade of Australia, and the tmincnse advantages, commercial and otherwise, to be derived from establishing steamship Ines between California and that and other islands of the Pacific and In- dian Oceans.
